"Dear Anne Hirst: -1 just don't
know what to do.: have been
married 19 years and have two
children. My husband plays poker,
and sometimes hasn't a penny left
to bring home. We have so many
bills to pay but he doesn't seem
to care.
"I would like, to go out to work,
but he is sei jealous it would Only
make more trouble; he says I'm
too friendly with people now,
Anne Hirst, I almost never leave
the house, I do washing and iron-
ing for other people to make a
few dollars. I always have his
meals ready when he does come
hone, and his clothes laid nut,
and I do anything he asks me; But
he treats me terribly, and I am
turning against him, Even our
little girl is afraid of him when he
comes in! Her teacher says she
is a very nervous scholar and
that is the reason.
"The people he knows are
nothing but `trash,' and hang onto
him for the money he spends and
his ear. He will do anything for
anyone who drinks , .. Can you
possibly tell me what to do?

TOO EAGER
"Dear Anne Hirst: Six years
ago ney mother took a teacher to
board. I didn't like him, but as
the years passed he caused me to
love him. Sometimes he took me
to ball games and on picnics, but
lie never told me he cared for
me,
"When lie carne home from
school I always fixed him some-
thing to eat and saw that his
room was comfortable. At Christ-
mas I gave him nice gifts, and
he said I had gone too- far.
"Now he has gone to another
school, and moved from our
home; he never calls except on
invitation! Cat. you tell me what
to do now?
Kate Rebecca"
i nope you will do nothing—
except to try to remove this
young man from your thoughts
and .topes, at he has removed
himself from your house.
It is easy for a young girl to
lase her heart to an older man.
This one you respected for his
*.learning: he was more septets-
* fleeted, too, than the boys you
* knew, which set him apart. You
* went all out, serving him at
* home, even giving him presents
* which must have embarrassed
him; he tried to warn you, but
* you would not see he was just
being kind. I am afraid you
* will have to realize he is in-
* terested in more mature women
* and thinks of you as just a
* nice little girl he used to know
* See the truth as it is, and a
* year from now you will smile
* at the longings that bother wou
* today,
It is sad indeed when a mother
must protect her children from
their father's neglect and anger.
Yet her first duty is to their wel-
fare. Tell your troubles to Anne
Hirst, and know you can depend
upon her sympathy and her
judgment. Write her at Box 1,

HERR GARDENING
There are many reasons why
people turn to the soil. They may
do so because of their ancestry,
for most people have forebears
who were farmers. Sometimes
a youthful experience directs a
person along the path he is to
follow later in life. When we
were children my parents took
us to visit my maternal great-
grandmother, who lived with he;
daughter and son-in-law on a
farm in Bavaria. There the prin-
cipal objective was to condition
cattle for the market. . ttIy
great - grandmother. who w a s
eighty, seldom went outdoors
and did not cake for flowers.
Few country people did in those
days. When my sister and 1 each
brought her a bouquet of corn-
flowers and poppies that we had
gathered in the wheat .fields, they
did not appeal to her. Now I
-know she considered them to be
weeds. But her daughter. my
grandmother, had a garden plant-
ed with iris and lilac bushes in .
her back yard on West Fitty7.
second Street, in New York City,
,just north of where Rockefeller
Center stands today.
Herb gardening has been coni
pared to chamber music. Both

places, for they have an intimate

To me there is much that is en-

ticularly in the fragrance it sends

GETTING the house clean
faster each morning is the
aim of every housewife. Usu-
ally, the starting point for the
morning cleanup is the bath-
room, Wet towels, scattered
Powder and spattered tile make
for complete disorder.
One of the newest aids in get-
ting the bathroom slick and shiny
in no time is a smooth, white
cleanser that turns golden when
it's wet. With this suclsing
cleanser, the housewife can ban-
ish bathtub rings and bacteria
quickly and effectively.
Whet( she proceeds to the
kitchen, she'll find this cleanser
removes grease faster, dispels
food odors that cling to the
hands, skillets, sink and food
preparation surfaces,
She can, in fact, test At. by
rubbing her hands with the cut
surface of an onion, shaking
cleanser over hands, rinsing and
sniffing at hands. She'll find
the odor gone.
The housewife en a hurry will
find that this cleanser works
equally well in hot or cold wa-
ter, in hard or soft water. It's
easy on the hands, has a fresh,
clean smell.
For weekly cleanings, it cess
be used when you're cleaning
out the refrigeratce
with them come to mind. When 1
touch holy basil and smell its
strange Oriental scent, I see a -
graceful' Indian woman in her
sari . , . , and when I come to the
acanthus, I remember the Greek
temples itt Sicily resting in
meadows filled with flowers. At'-
temisia fllifolia calls to mind Am-
erican .Indian pueblos with
bunches of peppers and dried
herbs hanging from the roofs. , .
The outstanding quality o f
herbs is their fragrance and it
is particularly strong either in
the merttiug, when there has
been a heavy dew, or late in the
afternoon after a summer shower
At any time of day, as one ap-
proaches the garden one inhales
a scene composed of a blend in
which can be detected elements
of spice, fruit, rose, mint, anise
and sometimes balsam.
The prevailing color of herbs
is gray. Moreover, one's interest
in them does not center primarily
on their brightly colored flowers
but on the patterns made by
their leaves, The flowers come
in delicate tints, some of them
blue to purple, colors preferred
by bees, who are constant visi-
tors. Then there are touches of
pink in old-fashioned roses, red
in bee balms and yellow in a
galium or broom, warm against
the coolness of prevailing grays
and blues. When a more vivid
color note is desired, it can be
provided by calendulas and nas-
turtiums.—From "The Years in
My Herb Garden," by Helen 21.

Well, apparently our little
winter is • over — for the time
being anyway. We have been
given a reprieve by the weath-
erman, and I suppose everyone
has made good use of It. At
Ginger Farm we put on storm
windows, got our coats out of
storage, put the cattle in the
barn and prepared in a general
way for a continuance of stormy
weather. Now we have to throw
open the doors, hang the coats
in the closet, turn the cows
loose in the yard and check off
the fires. In a contest with the
weatherman you just can't win.
But who's grumbling? We didn't
want winter yet, anyway.
You know, I'm beginning to
think a few - people must be
reading this column! Remember
the hue and cry I raised about
hunters roaming the farm with-
out permission. Well about
ten days after that a hunter
came along one night, asked
permission to leave his car in
the lane and to go hunting across
the fields. Imagine that! I asked
him if he intended setting any
traps. "No," he said, "if we set
straps we come and tell you."
So one hunter at least has the
courtesy to observe the rules of
the game — and he is welcome
on our farm any time.
Since I wrote that little tirade
about hunters we have read
several times of young cattle be-
ing ,shot by trespassers on farm
property. This matter of hunt-
ing is always a problem. Some
people, as a matter of princi-
ple, are opposed to hunting of
any kind, with or without per-
mission. But we have to take a
realistic attitude, I think. If
there were no hunting at all
country districts would soon be
over -run with predatory birds
and beasts. Foxes, for instance,
can soon wipe out the profits
of a poultry farmer; deer are a
menace on the highway, and al-
so to crops; beavers must be
kept under control or their in-
dustrious habits may cause flood-
ing to the point of inconven-
ience. And if the Indians were
prohibited from hunting their
main source of income would be
gone -- and what would women
do then for their fox furs and
muskrat coats? It is also com-
forting to know that unnecessary
suffering of animals is not al-
lowed. humane practices in
hunting and trapping tnust be
followed. Another point to con-
sider . , , Wild life, reforestation
and conservation go together.
We need all the trees we can
grow so — more trees, better
conservation, more wild life ---
and of course, more hunting. A
logical sequence, isn't it?
Incidentally, for those who
want trees to plant next spring
it isn't a bit too early to order
them now. According to the
Department of Lands and Forests
the demand for delivery of young
trees next spring has already
exceeded the available supply,
s0 I suppose the trees will be
more or less rationed out, The
Department says seedlings grown
in nurseries have a bettor chance
of survival than natural or wild
stock, transplanted from hush to
garden, The nursery stock has
a bettor developed root system
and so withstands the shock of
transplanting to your soil. Gene-
rally speaking white pine is for
sandy soil; rod pine anywhere at
all. But look around in your
own district. If most of the
trees are elms, maniere hirchs or
oaks, you can be almost certain
they will do bettor than ever-
greens, So says the Department
--and it should know.,
Last week we had still ano-
ther courtesy call. None other
than a surveyor from tate De-
partment of Highways. His mis-
sion wus to inform us that the De-
partment was making another
survey through our farm tot the
proposed new highway. This
survey is 200 feet farther north
than the other one. To us it is
much more satisfactory because
it is farther away from the barn
— 400 feet in all. However, even
this may'- not be the final sur-
vey — the ways of government
departments being hard to fa-
thom. But if it isn't final there
will be an awful lot of Iran
stakes to pull up all through
the country. The surveyor show-
ed us a map of the district
clearly indicating all the farms,
complete with buildings — and
all done from aerial photo-
graphs. You never know what
is going on overhead these days;
what secrets are shared with
those who fly up yonder. Look-
ing at the map I wouldn't have
been surprised had I seen a
Monday morning wash flapping
in the breeze.
Well, we have just come back
from Toronto, after paying a
visit to our grandson. Of course
he is wonderful and looks more
like a human being every day.
He also has a good pair of lungs
and a voracious appetite. Judge
ing by the number of presents
that were sent to welcome his
coming he is also a very lucky
baby. But I will spare you any
further eulogies. He may be
wonderful to us but to other
folk I know he is jest another
baby.

Now The Perfect
irg1ar Alarm
Bad news for burglars! It's a
burglar alarm which has recent-
ly been tried out in Nottingham,
where the police were pioneers
of radio and forensic science.
It's so effective that since it
was installed nothing has been
lost from many of the protected
buildings and there has not been
e single illegal entry into one
without an arrest,
At the Chief Constable's head-
quarters is a control panel which
warns of a "contact" at any of
the fifty premises which have al-
ready had the alarm fitted, The
circuit is proof against wire -cut-
ting or the cutting -off of current.
It has been called the perfect
bugler alarm.
This remarkable device will
also indicate fire, give the code
number of the building concern-
ed, and record automntically the
time.
At 12.55 one morning not long
ago an alarm sounded. A man
jumped from a window of the
premises five minutes later —
straight into the arms of police!
