We took him visiting in the neigh- bourhood. As we came away Mrs. M. thanked Daughter for bringing the baby to see them. To which Dee replied — "You don't need to thank me — show- ing him Off, it was. Grandma's Idea!" We had another experience last weals that wasn't such a happy event, They say there has to be a first time for everything and this was one 01 those occa- sions, Partner was going to a meeting at a nearby village while I did a little visiting. The location of tile hall where the meeting was to be held was be- tween two steep hills right in the centre of the village, Going down towards the valley my brakes ceased to function, 1 put the car into second, shut off the ignition and went the rest of the way hoping for the best and knowing the steep climb on the Other side would stop the car anyway, Which it did, so we are still alive to tell the tale. In- vestigation at a garage revealed the fact that the master cylinder was leaking and all the fluid had drained out of the brakes. Ever since I have been driving sudden brake failure has been one thing I have always been afraid might happen as one hears of it so often. Now it has happened — and I certainly .- hope it doesn't occur again, The helpless feeling it gives you isn't a happy experience. An unsual visitor has been coming to our kitchen window quite persistently for the last few days. It was raining and a cold wind blowing the first time I saw the barely persistible flutter of tiny wings. I just couldn't believe my eyes for what would entice' a humming bird out in such awful weather? Time and "time again it came back to the window. Had it been possible I would have let it in as I thought perhaps it was looking for shelter. But what would I have done with a hum- ming bird in the house? So I worked on another idea. I mixed up some brown sugar and wa- ter in a little fiat dish and put it on the outside of the kitchen window -sill, Whether this most fascinating of little birds has partaken of my homemade nec- tar I don't know, but at least it dill flutters around the window several times a day. At the back of the house we have a chest- nut tree in bloom so probably that is what attracted our little bird. Some birds have black marks against their, characters for such things as eating small fruits, grain and garden seeds. The lit- tle hummer is one bird that does only good. As we all know it loves to suck nectar from sweet - scented flowers but it also likes to feed • on small flies, gnats, undersized bees and wasps and other insects that hover in and around the flower beds that big- ger birds might not bother with at all. You know, some people say you can't hope to have birds around the house if you keep eats. I have said it before and I say it again — that just isn't so. At least, not on a farm. You couldn't have better hunters than our Mitchie-White and Black Joe. They spend half their time In the fields watching for mice and young rabbits, and in winter time they hunt mice and pigeons in the barn — rats, too, if there are any — but they never bother the birds in the garden, not even the starlings and robins. The other day Mitchie was sitting on the front step; from the other side of the door T watched to see what he would do as knew there were fledglings in and around the shrubbery trying their Wings. Inside of ten minutes I saw sev- eral little canaries, two wee chickadees, a perky little wren, one robin — and of course a scattering of sparrows and star- lings, all hopping and scratch- ing around on the grass, but Mitchie 1 ever even bothered to look at them. Presently he jumped off the step stalked ac- ross the backyard and on to- wards the hayfield, Oh dear — I'm slipping! Mr. X. has been at it again and I forgot to mention it.

On the witness stand was a beautiful blonde. The pro- secuting attorney glared at her. "I'll repeat my question," he thundered. "Where were you on the night of October 13th?" The witness hung her head, "Oh, please don't ask me that," she murmured. "I can't tell you." The prosecutor stiffened. "You must tell us," he roared. "Stop stalling. Where were you on the night of October 13th?" -The beautiful damsel blushed. "All right," she assented finally. "If you must know, ''111 tel] you. I was at home, working out a t l anaword puzzle."

One Observer was 80 uncover his lantern, and the other, as soon es he saw the first observer's light, was to uncover his. The period between the un- covering of a light and the time it was seen was to be measured, Galileo found, however, that light, traveled so rapidly that the dis- tance between the two Observers was too small for its speed to be measured, The Danish . astronomer Ole Roemer, working in Paris, made the first real estimate of the speed of light in 1676, and Game to the conclusion that it was 192,000 miles a second, a figure later proved to be, remarkably enough, approximately correct, • He noticed, in observing the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter, that the intervals between the eclipses of one moon were not . always the same, being 16 minutes, 26 seconds greater at one time of the year than at an- other, He decided that this dif- ference could not be due to any real difference in the 'period of the eclipses, but must be caused by the greater or lesser distance over which the light had to travel from Jupiter to the earth when the earth was at different parts or its orbit, and therefore nearer to er farther from Jupiter, In this he was quite' right. Various methods of measuring the speed of light have been adopted since, and they all give practically the same :figure. Two great French scientists, Fizeau and Foucault, about the middle . of the last century did the pion- eer work. They flashed beams Of light back and forth between systems of mirrors and lenses, Fizeau interrupted the beam by the teeth of a revolving cog- wheel; Foucault made one of the wirers revolve. In each case the speed Of "light wee calculated from the speed Of the cog -wheel or of the mirror, but the actual method is too complicated t0 be described. The greatest modern measurer of the speed Of light was albeit Abraham Michelson. Nearly all his life MichelsOn workecl on this great problem, While still a instruct- or young serving physics atta e roAnnapolis Naval Academy, he greatly Im- proved Foucault's method and obtained much more accurate re- sults, This was in 1878. In 1924 Michelson resumed his work on the speed of light. He flashed light back and forth be- tween various California motln- tain peaks, Over a distance of aa much as 88 miles, In 1926 he an- nounced the speed Of light as 1,86.285 miles a second. Later, Michelson built an enormous . vacuum tunnel, ' a . mile long, for his experiments. Now that he was independent of atmosphereic conditions, he hoped to find the speed Of light more accurately. Later experiments have seemed 10 indicate that the speed of light is about .186,270 miles a second, This figure may be changed as time goes on, for with better in- struments and methods, sc e tist acs will undoubtedly g curate results.— From The Book of Knowledge. _ . wildness There are three main reasons for the loss of hair, Disease one' of them, particularly dis- ease of the scalp. The wearing of tight hats is another, Men's hats fit closely, so that the blood does not circulate freely and nourish the hairs. Tlie most important reason for baldness is probably hered- ity. Baldness is a familiar trait, and little can be done to prevent loss of hair if the trait runs in a family. Men are more apt to be bald than women. elodrarna bt Berlin Everyone knows that a Holly- wood "western" is not to be taken as a strict representation of life in either the old or new West. But not everyone seeing a Hollywood melodrama laid in present-day Berlin realizes that he is not seeing an accurate pic- ture of that extraordinarily vivid and significant city, where the West challenges the East in daily, intimate contact. The point is worth making be- cause of its implications. No one expects melodrama to stick too closely to facts, but in a cold war that could explode into world-wide devastation even. melodrama owes a certain re- spect to truth, conscience and re- sponsibility. Some time ago a Hollywood film was shot in Berlin for the "sake of authenticity." It has since then been shown in the United States, but when Berlin audiences recently saw it they greeted it with sardonic laughter. It was not merely that the pic- ture was full of small inaccur- acies and distorted the relations between the East and West sec. tors of the city. It went so far as to indicate that the kidnaping of GIs from the western sectors is a- common occurrence. Now everyone knows that the Communists are ruthless and . can cold-bloodedly use any weapon that suits their purpose. A few highly publicized kidnap- ings of German and East Euro- pean anti-Communists from West Berlin have occurred, and per- haps others which have not re- ceived publicity. And Americans, including GIs, who have got into trouble in the East sector or zone have been held by the authorities for 'varying lengths el time. There is material for a Score of .melodramas in the actualities of what is inherently a melodramatic situation. But the fact remains that the Communists are not kidnaping GIs from West Berlin, and to suggest, with a great air of authenticity, that they are, is to be guilty of the same sort of dis- honesty that the West resents in anti-American Soviet plays and films. If a Hollywood producer can go to all the trouble of hav- ing a film shot in Berlin in order to catch- the hearthgat of the cold war, he can surely take the trouble not to heat up that war for his own - private purposes. —From the Christian Science Monitor.

When glue is warmed, it changes its form gradually from the solid to the liquid state. It does not change with the speed of ice melting into water. Sub- stances that melt gradually are called viscous substances, an- other sway of 'saying that their molecules tend to stay together. Molasses is another viscous sub- stance. You know the expres- sion "He is as slow as molasses in January," This refers to the fact that in cold weather mo- lasses runs out of a jug very slowly. Its molecule4 tend to stay together. The force that holds molecules of a substance together is called cohesion., Glue has another force, that of adhesion, by which its molecules will stick to, or adhere to, molecules of other substaiiees, such as wood, and cloth and paper, Now let us see what happens when two pieces of wood are glued together. We smear both pieces with half -melted glue and press them together. The glue is forced into the hollow air spaces of the wood, against the walls of the cell cavities. When the glue cools and hardens, it is firmly anchored in each piece of wobd. The structure is held together by adhesion of glue to wood and cohesion of glue to glue. Both forces are necessary for the pieces to hold together; but ad- hesion is the stronger force here. Therefore, a thin layer of glue will hold things together more firmly than a thick layer will, IT J 1,1 L BE YOUR LIVE if tile's not worth living it may be your liver' We a taut' 11 taken up to two 1ru11e of aver tiro a day to keep your digestive tract in top chapel ii your Over bile is not flowing freely your food may not d)gaal . . gas bloats un your stunned, ... you feel constipated and all the fun and sparkle go out of life.
