How Can I? i . flow can I remove light scratches on furniture? A. By rubbing over then with boiled linseed oil, turpen- tine, and white vinegar, mixed in equal proportions.

Venetian red; for walnut, burnt umber and Van- dyke brown. - Q. How can I make transpar- ent cement for glass? A.

Just now I looked over last week's notes—and I laughed. They made sense to me but I wondered what anyone else would snake out of them. dere they are. "Home end Country . Frances Shelley Wees . , tractor radio . , hydro -wind." Well, let us take then one by one and see if they make sense. "Home and Country" . I jotted that down after attending our last Women's Institute meet- ing at which I received my copy of the current issue of Home and Country. And why wouldn't I mention it? It is wonderful for W.X. members to have such a nice little magazine for their very own. With Ethel Chapman as edi- tor it has improved tremendously —and such improvement was long overdue. But I aim not say- ing that in a critical sense --the old H. and C. was as good as it could be under the circumstances. Time and experience are neces- sary for the publication of even a small magazine and, until last year, I have an idea that Home and Country was anybody's baby, But now it has an editor all its own. Actually, there is no reason why this magazine should not be interesting end informative. Cer- tainly there can be no lack of material front which to fill its pages, W.I. Branches are now found in almost every district in Ontario and from each one of thein stories of worthwhile achievement are bound to emerge from time to time. It is an in- centive to every branch to know what other branches are doing and in Home and Country we are given that information, to say nothing of District rallies and conventions. Funny, how things work out. I am quite sure many readers of the Farmer's Magazine were quite upset when Miss Chapman resigned from the staff of that publication. And then came news of her appointment to Home and Country. "Wonderful . . we haven't lost her after all!" X heard that said so often. In fact, as W.I, members, we now feel that ?Miss Chapman definitely be- iongs to urs. A. better choice could not have been made. Born and raised on a farm Miss Chapman has an awareness of, and an in- terest in, the problems of country folk. .And Of course, she has al- ways been .keenly interested in the work of the W3. So I am WHY i0N'T YOU FINISH YOUR MEAL., JACKIE (HERE'S A TREAT THAT WILL MAKE ANY CEREAL, TASTE BETTTR-•• TRY IT NOW, JACKIE AND TASTE THE 'DIFFERENCE sure we are all very glad to have her as editor of Home and Country. Frances Shelley Wees . . . a remarkable woman. Have you read any of her books or serials? She is a most prolific writer. I was privileged to hear her speak at a meeting of the Canadian Authors last week. She lives on a farm; is a mother and grand- mother; does most of her own work; entertains and baby-sits and yet finds time to turn out thousands of words each year, although she says three or four weeks during the year is all the time she spends in actual writing. The rest of the time is thinking and planning what her next book shall be. One time she started writing a book on a Tuesday and finished it the following Friday. Oh, for a gift like that! Her record for a single day's work is 18,000 words—and that's a lot of writing. "But", said Mrs. Wees, "when I write, I do nothing else but write." How she manages to do this she did not explain. Tractor -radio , .. the next on my list, I jotted down that note while listening to the radio. An adverlisement stated that farm- ers can now have radios installed on their tractors ... good re- ception and powerful enough to be heard above the hum of the tractor. Said the announcer— "Order one now and insure de- livery before spring ploughing begins." Well ...' how crazy can people get? It was hard enough in the past to attract the atten- tion of a tractor -driver, and, if one had a message to deliver, to make oneself heard. Now, if one has to compete with a radio as well .. , words fail nue! Wind ... hydro—well, if you shared the wind that cane our way last week you will under- stand why X made a note of that. But it didn't bring any snow. In fact the ground around here has been covered only once this winter and then the snow was gone again in two clays. Saturday morning, just as we were getting up, a blue flash lit up the sky. Thirty seconds later the power was off. It stayed off until 8 a.in. —by that. time most of the cows had been hand -milked. One more sample of the inconvenience of conveniences. But oh, the joy when lights flash on again; milk- ing machine begins to hum and the radio to play, It almost equals the thrill of having hydro newly installed. Perhaps without these interruptions we would fail 80 realize how lucky we are. End of notes ... and of space. A man in Green Island, N.Y., dropped a paper bag holding $270 which scattered about the street. When he counted the amount which passers-by picked up for him, he found he had $270.40. WOW THAT'S TERRIFIC, MOM! WHAT IS IT CALLED? CAN 1 HAVE MORE ? IT'S DELIC10U5/ Smash Coffin To- Leal Jewels Thieves who broke into a dere- lict Norman church, at Waltham - cote, near Daventry, England, smashed a coffin in a family vault In a vain search for jewels that might have been buried with a body 112 years ago. They wrench- ed away the marble tablet to the vault and tore off the head of the coffinthrowing the skull into an adjoining unused. grave. Next clay the vault floor was found littered with bones. Grave robberies are rare now- adays, but they used to be cons - men. It's on record that at Scot - house, near Clones, gold seekers forced their way through stone walls behind which lay the coffin of a ninety -four-year-old roan who had died sixty-three years earlier. The old man, said rumour, was immensely wealthy and had made his coffin himself, leaving instruc- tions that all his gold should be buried with him. He had been in the habit of lying in the coffin to "see whether it fitted him," and had told his servants that it must be "roomy." But the would-be thieves were disturbed and missed the treasure. Reid Back By Bayonets In a cemetery near Geneva the family tomb of M. Jean Bart- lidlorni was opened in 1923 for the burial of his ten -year-old son. The gravediggers found that the body of Monsieur Jean's first wife—who died eighteen years earlier—had been stripped of the precious jewels with which she had been buried. Several attempts were made to rob the grave in Brooklyn Ceme- tery of James Jones, seaman, after a story that it contained a casket of Russian Crown Jewels had been circulated. The jewels were said to be worth one million pounds. So persistent was the story that it was finally decided, some years ago, to open the grave officially. Would-be spectators were kept back at the cemetery entrances by armed guards with fixed bay- onets. But no jewels were found. In the days of body -snatchers, many relatives of the dead em- ployed armed guards to watch lent,::; e,rer G ':.
