Timbers From Dick Turpin's Home
For a Buckinghamshire Scout Hall
A unique Boy Scout headquarters
recently completed at Godstone, Buck-
inghamshire, is a composite restora-
tion of a house of the Tudor period.
The building is constructed almost
entirely of material from old 16th
century buildings recently demolished
in various parts of England In-
cluded was the framework of an an-
cient Sussex barn, Tudor brick and
tiles, and old ship's timbers. Of par-
ticular interest to the Scouts and
Rovers who did 'most of the work,
were some timbers from Dick Tur-
pin's birthplace, the "Old Haunted
House of Hernchurch. v The main
room of the old -new meeting place
duplicates a Tudor banquet hall, with
a "minstrel's gallery" at one end, and
below, a huge fireplace. The com-
pleted headquarters has attracted
considerable news reel and newspaper
pictorial section publicity.
Express Men Find Pigeons.
Are Particular Customers
As racing pigeon clubs all over the
country prepare for their spring mar-
athons, Canadian National Express
employees are busy brushing up on
their bird lore. Homing pigeons are
among the most exacting customers
they have, and require—and get -the
most scrupulous attention.
The express man has to know just
how the birds are to be liberated--
which door in the basket to open, so
that the pigeons get out quickly and
all together -and, what is quite as
important -when. Pigeons will not
fly through heavy rainy fog or thick
smoke, and they will not fly in the
dark. The express man has to be up
to the minute in his weather reports
regarding the route of flight. He
has to bear in mind the fact that pig-
eons fly about 30 miles an hour.
Feed is usually forwarded with the
birds and it is up to the express man
to see that his customers eat and
drink. If the supply runs short, he
buys peas and corn, and he knows
just what kind.
He has to be.• careful that his char-
ges are not exposed to the summer
sun, but he has to bring them to the
light at least 15 minutes. before they
are released so that' their eyes will
have a chance to become accustomed
to the change. Dogs and cats and the
curious public have to be kept away
from them. ,
And when the precious shipments
have all flown home, the express man
has to gather up the baskets and re-
turn them by train
Canada and India are the two prin-
cipal producers of linseed in the Brit-
ish Empire. Linseed oil, owing to its
drying properties, is used mainly in
the manufacture of paint, varnish,
linoleum, and printing ink, and only
to a limited extent for edible purp-
oses and -for making soap. Linseed
cake, on the other hand, is readily
inter -changeable with other oilcakes
for feeding live stock.

A Service To The Public
One of the most gratifying trends
in Canadian domestic life is the stea-
dy decrease in the infantile and ma-
ternal death rate, and one of the
organizations which has helped large-
ly to bring this about is the Victor-
ian Order of Nurses.
The Victorian Order was founded
in 1897 by a Government House Lady
Ishbel, Marchioness of Aberdeen and
'remain She raised a fund by appeal
throughout Canada to inaugurate a
price; but in respect of most things National Service of Nursing in the
Home
in common use and which are re-
g . as a commemoration, of the
bought frequently, their censurer reatQueen's Diamond Jubilee. Nurs-
price' would not be 1 cent less if ing
Homes were established in vari-
ous cities with local branches through-
out the Dominion.
The Countess of Minto, recognizing
the success of five hospitals estab-
lished by the Order, raised a further
fund to build and equip 44 similar
hospitals in the North West. Event-
ually all were absorbed by local au -
dimities : and that phase of the work
of the Order terminated. With the
coming of official yobiic health
nursing organizations and municipal
hospitals,_the Victorian Order con-
centrated its efforts on work through
the medium of branches established
in the more closely populated cen-
tres.
Thenurses of the Order have play-
ed a noble part in emergencies. Four
of them endured the hardships of the
Klondyke Trail and stayed there three
years; 52 enlisted in the first year of
the Great War. The military author-
ities placed all district. nursing work
in the hands of the Order on the oc-
casion of the Halifax disaster in 1917
when a munition ship blew up, cans-
ing 1800 deaths and nearly 3,000 cos-
ualties.
Today the Order has 78 local bran-
ches across Canada, with • 343 highly
trained registered nurses whose ser -
they were not advertised. Indeed, it
might be more.
Advertising most certainly focus-
ses consumer demand on advertised
products. This leads to mass produc-
tion. Mass production lowers produc-
tion costs quite amazingly. Consum-
er prices drop correspondingly.
Some illustrations of the drop in con-
sumer prices` of classes of products in
wide demand are: In 1891 a 100 -candle
power electric bulb cost $3.50 and us-
ed 310 watts. Today such a lamp
can be had for 20 cents and uses 100
watts. A dozen year's ago a slow -
cooking electric range cost $205. To-
day the same stove, but much faster,
costs $107. Fifteen years ago an el-
ectric lamp sold for 45 cents. Today
a bulb giving 80% more light costs
15 Cents. An electric motor which 20
years ago cost $80 sells today for $12.
In the short period of 10 years the
price of a 6 -foot electric refrigerator
has dropped from $295 to $165, and
the present model consumes only 21 -
kilowatt hours per month as against
of 1928. Radio sets which cost $200
a few years ago are equalled and sur-
passed by $30 models of today. Cam-
eras which were priced $5 a few years vices are directed by a physician. But

GET AN IDEA 'FIRST
Bedtime—and an excellent "story -telling" snap. Learn to build youn•
pictures around a central idea.
BEFORE you snap a picture, do
you have in your mind a clear
idea of what you wantthe picture
to "say"?
This is important, because every
picture needs a central "picture
idea" to give it life and meaning.
Especially, every picture with per-
sons in it needs some sort of action
(or activity) to give it interest.
By "action" I don't mean rapid
motion, but merely that the person
pictured should be doing something.
For example, suppose you have
a small daughter, and every now and
then you want a new picture of her.
Well, don't just get her to stand in a
corner of the backyard, and look at
the camera while you snap. Relate
the picture to her personal life, her
daily activities. Look at these ideas:
A picture of her climbing out of
bed in the morning (you can take
it at night, really). A snap of her
yawning and stretching, in pajamas:.
Rubbing sleepy eyes. Talking to her.
dolls. Playing house. Poring over
picture books. Leaving for kinder-.
garten. Helping M o t h e r In the.,
kitchen. Riding a tricycle or scooter-.
Munching a slice of buttered bread..
Being tucked into bed at night..
Sleeping soundly with a doll or
teddy bear or toy dog.
In all these, she is doing some-
thing. And, she will, help you get
your pictures, if you make a game•
of it, and suggest that she "play
like" she is doing this or that. In-
deed, this is a good way to entertain.
her on a dull day or evening.
It's a good picture method. Start
with a clear idea, and make the pic-
ture to lit it. When one picture isn't.
enough, snap a series. Make each
picture "say something"—and note
how they gain in life and appeal.

Cut Flower Business
Of Large Proportion
Most people love flowers and it is
still a mark of good taste to present
a lady with flowers, even in this
Ilast-moving age. A :dinner table
without flowers to grace it is consid-
ered a bare sort of thing in most
households. We cheer our sick folk
with them, and when we die our
friends send flowers as a little tri-
bute of affection.
The cut flower business, therefore,
is one of fairly large proportions, and
as our out-of-doors is somewhat cold
fora part of the year, most of these
flowers are grown under glass. That
the wholesale price of cut flowers
and greens from greenhouses was a-
bout one and three quarter million
dollars last year shows how large
the business is. The cut flowers grown
in the open had a wholesale value of
only $38,000.
Roses, of course, are the prime
favourites. There were about ten;
and a half million of them sold
wholesale and the average price was!
over six dollars per hundred. They,
would be more than that by retail.
Carnations were the next favourite
flower, over four and a half million
being sold.
But by far the most expensive was'
the orchid, the wholesale price of a
hundred being over $53. Gardenias
were the second most expensive at
$25 per hundred, lilies $11, calla 11I-1 $9, large flowered chrysanthe-
mums $8. The more moderately pric-1
ed were corn flower, larkspur, sweet
peas and violets. It should be point-
ed out that wholesale and retail pri-
ces of cut flowers must differ wide.
ly as cut flowers are very perishable
and serious losses are often sustain.

Company's Crude School
First in Huron County
The first schoolhouse in the whole
"Huron Tract" was a log building
erected by the Canada Company in
Goderich. There is uncertainty as to
the exact date but it would probably
be about 1832. One of the early set-
tlers, John Ford, was the builder.
There were .only about a dozen fami-
lies in the place at that time.
Thereare few written records of
the working of the school system in
those early days.

Commandments For
Drivers
The coining of spring means in-
creased motor traffic, which, in turn,
means more motor accidents and fa-
talities unless motorists exercise
more care and caution than they have
in past years.
Some people have been inclined to
place the blame for motor mishaps
on the government, for its policy of
an increased speed limit, but the re-
sponsibility, in thle final analysis,
rests with the driver of the car.
If each driver was to observe the
ten commandments for motoring, as.
compiled and issued by the highways
department of the state of South:
Carolina, then the number of .dead
and maimed who each year comprise:
the terrific toll taken by a motorized.
and mechanized age world be consid-
erable lessened.
Here arethe commandments. Will
you observe them?
Don't pass on hills or blind curves.
—you might as well drive blindfolded..
Don't insist on having the right of
way, even if you do feel that it be-
longs

keep on coming.
Don't turn without signalling —the
fellow behind might not know the di-
rection you intend to drive.
Don't cut corners—that's the other
fellow's territory and he might
claim it.
Don't cut in sharply after passing
—the other fellow hates the ditch as
much as you do.
Don't weave all over the highway
and don't take your half of the roads
in the centre. Your half of the road
is to the right.
Don't come to sudden stops without.'

not know you meant to stop.
Don't try to economize by using•
