Start At Bottom When you wash or paint a wall, - do you mount a stepladder and start at the top? If so, you'd better mend your ways. A tip from the U.S. General Services Administration coin- cides with advice from experi- enced wall painters. A wise house- wife will start at the bottom 1 This is not so unreasonable as it sounds. When you wash a wall from the bottom up, you just easily and neatly clean up the muss as you go along, never add- ing muddy trickles to soiled tier - faces and never accumulating more dirt in streaks. If your lower surfaces are entirely clean as you operate on upper wall areas, dripping sponges will do less damage and any small trickles can be wiped off at once, with no remaining stains: Similarly when you paint 'on an upward spiral, there is little danger that too much thinning will occur at the top in contrast With heavy paint surfaces due to accumulation of downward drip- ping. Don't be a doubting Thomas : Try the inlpftived method ! MILLIONS OF LIVES SAVED Dr. Edward F. .Knipling, a leading ifpecialisl in the use of insecticides, estimated this week that the use of DIYI' had saved 5.000,000 lives and prevented mare than 100.000,000 illnesses singe 1042. The benefit of con- trolling diseases, he repotted to the American Aseociatiot of Econnnaic Entomologists, must be balanced egaina the calculated risk of using any insecticide,. Not one serious ilhuc,s or death had been caasect in people exposed to DDT during insect -mined cf forts. he said.

Sunny Thought for Winter Days—Joyce Johnson didn't do anything special—didn't win a trophy, isn't "Miss Soriiething-or-Other." She's just a pretty girl, relaxing in the sun at a Las Vegas resort hotel. That seemed reason enough for the photographer to take a picture with which to cheer the folks who are chattering through another rough northern winter, Dr HRONICLES I 11this colunnl seems a little disconnected the reason is riot far to seek. Yesterday we were a family of seven and here is what happened. About 7.90 am Bob took our two visitors to the train as they were spending the day in Toronto—that, of course, was after a mad scramble for early morning breakfast and going away preparations. Then Bob came back, finished his own last minute packing, which consisted of piling all his possessions into his ear, and then he was ready for a long trip North. While this was going on Daughter and Arthur carne clown 11 u n c in g breakfast and Partner carne in from the barn where he had been wrestling with a fresh cow with a hard quarter, Almost im- mediately afterwards Bob set off on his trip and it is quite pos- sible we may not see hint again for six months. The test of the day was comparatively quiet— Partner, Daughter, Arthtn• and myself just talking—family talk, over this thing and that. After supper Dee and Art set out for Toronto and then the whole house was very, very quiet. I sat down with my thoughts and a needle and thread to mend a pair of pyjamas that Partner had fallen through. I wondered as I worked how soon Partner would be up from the barn and whether our friends would be late getting back from Toronto. And then the telephone rang. A friend that I thought was a hundred miles away asked if I would like a couple of tramps for the night ! "But why ...where are you?"I• asked in surprise. M)' friend laughed—"Well, as a matter of fact we have taken a house down here --only just at present we are stere and the furniture isn't." Of course I said to conte right along so inside of fifteen minutes Lillian and her daughter were on our doorstep, leaving the elan of the )rouse to wait for the furniture and look after things, Of course we had to do a bit of hustling . , . beds to make ... and the furnace given an extra stoking against the cold north wine)`•. A nice hot cup of tea com- pleted our w• e 1'c a n1 C. In the middleof thing. Partner came in front the barn, our other friends returned from Toronto, all of their wondering at the sudden flurry of activity and who the newest arrivals alight be.

Getting back to •cooking for two after having been used to five -- or seven --isn't going to be so easy, One new arrival I haven't men- tioned—and it has given us more Pun than a picnic. This new arrival is in the form of a little clockwork bear. Wind it up and it ambles slowly across the floor, its head keeping pace with its heavy foot movements. Honey, Tip and Mitchie-White think it is a wonderful plaything, but their reactions are very different, Mitchic evidently thought it was some sort of kitten and was quite ready to play with it. But when its little motor ran down and it showed no more sign of move- ment Mlichie lost interest al- though he slid try licking it back to life, Tippy wanted to grab it and shake it like a ground -hog and we hacl to rescue the poor little bear. It was Honey that caused the greatest fun. She whimpered at the noise of the motor. Then. greatly daring, ehe pawed the little bear with her foot and rolled it over, The legs still kept moving and Honey sat hack in surprise,. Partner. said, "Fetch it here !" hone)' waggled her stump of a tail in delight, nosed the bear this way and that, finally found that its tail was easier to grab than any part of its mechanical body, so she picked up the bear by its tail and bore it in triumph to Partner. Later on, tired of playing, Honey sat down beside the bear on the rug. Presently Mitchie-White cane in: and Honey growled as loudly and fiercely as if she were guarding a nice, fresh juicy bone. Maybe, come Tuesday, I shall be glad to have Honey and the bear to amuse me, as after that day Partner and I will be all alone, that being the time when • our friends yell leave us, as they are crossing the border over to the United States, On the other Band I may not have time for amusements -- you know how sewing and mending has a way of piling up when one has company around.

Took The Chorus Girls +Outt Of Tights ---Pelt Them Into Skirts instead Just a huudred )ears ago, tier (-feeling to the tccot0s, in ()vowel. of 1802, was born the showman who had a bigger impact upon the British stage titan anybody else. Genius is not too big u word for him. He was not a dramatist; he was not an actor; but 11e had a wonderful flair for knowing• what audiences wanted, even it they did not know themselves! As an instance of his craving for perfection, take his action when one of his shows had reach- ed dress -rehearsal stage tend he suddenly took a dislike to the "set" for the second act. He ordered the whole lot to bo scrapped, and a new set to be built and painted. The scenery was not finished until time came for the curtain to rise on the ploy, there was a small delay. resented by the gallery, but George Edwardes had hod his autocratic way. Waiked He brought glamour and a kick to the chorus, and created the famous "Gaitey Girl." Up to then, the chorus of a musical show had been the butt of every cheap wit; the "back row of the chorus" had been a synonym for knock-kneed inefficiency. Ed- wardes selected his chorus girls with the greatest care, Beautiful "creations" took the place of the old -tyle cotton tights, and Ed- wardes was astute enough to know that long skirts over frothy, frilly petticoats had in- finitely more allure than these. The girls walked like queens; their poise was wonderful. Ed- wardes saw to that. Before they were allowed to step uponthe stage of the Gaiety or Daly's they were taught deportment,. dancing and singing — every- thing, in fact, to make them more glamorous. M1101801 Come.(). Edwardes is generally believ- ed to be the inventor of what we know as musical comedy, but that is quite wrong. The idea sprouted in the fertile brain of Frank Osmond Carr. Carr was among the first of the current composers of light music, and already had "Morocco Bound" and "His Excellency" to his tuneful credit. (He was the com- poser whom D'Oyly Carte pick- ed to coli. borate: iyath :Sir Vr. 8. Gilbert when that temperamen- r tal author had his notorious quar- rel with Sullivan.) Carr saw that the old-fashioned burlesque or operetta was doom- ed; why not have a musical piece in which everybody wore mod- ern clothes? Edwardes would have none of it. But Frank Carr believed in his idea, and kept Edwardes until the manager con- sented to give the mad thing a trial. "In Town" was produced at the Prince of Wales over which Edwardes then had control, and the public "ate it up"! Musical Comedy was born. George Edwardes ran Daly's as well as the Gaiety, and was so successful that he only put on eleven shows in fiften years. People said that if a Daly's piece Aozetic PAIN Good news for those who long for relief from rheumatic pain, but feel hopeless!

The manager, unlike some other theatrical magnates, had little ideaof the value of money He wanted the very best, no matter what it cost. Naturally, he wax sometimes hard up. One of those times was just before lie pro- duced "The Merry Widow" at Daly's. All in the theatre knew that things were desperate and feared for the beloved r'Guv'nor," But the show ran for no fewer than '778 performances! Franz Lehar, the composer, at first objected to Joe Coyne being engaged, and was told that the comedian was " a very funny matt." "I have not written funny music," scowled the great musi- cian. Money Didn't Matter Part of Edwardes' disregard for money was shown in his ec- centric generosity. Seeing e chorus girl looking rather loge- brioua one day, and being told that she :felt far from bright, be said: "What you want, my dear, is a breath of fresh air. There's half an hour before you are want- ed—so jump into a hansom and drive up and down the Embank- ment." And he promptly gave her two pounds for the fare! He arranged with the proprie- tor of the famous ?;tomano's res- taurant that his girls should dine there under a special tariff. He paid for their hair -do's at the best places in the West -end, in fact did all he could to exploit the loveliness of the Gaiety chorus. The result was that it gained a reputation for glamour that no chorus had had before - 01' since. "Any man can find work it he'll only use his brains," said the efficiency expert, "provided, of course, he is ready to adapt himself to circumstances, like e piano -tuner I once met on the Canadian prairie." "But even if he was adabtable," protested one listener, "he couldn't make piano -tuning pay with pianos so few and far be- tween." "Admitted," replied the ex- pert, "but he made quite a decent living tightening up barbed-wire fences." Eczema --Skin Troubles Give your skin a real chance to get well.
