It isn't very difficult to look over your shoulder, 12 months back, and name the atand-outs, because they're still fresh in your memory, But suppose you get involved in one of those pointless argu- ments, pointless because unproveable, about who was the greatest in any one sport over the years, not the year, and then your lieadaches begin. For instance; Who is Mister Baseball? Or Mister Boxing , . , or Football , . , or even Mister (or Mrs.) Racing? What name comes to mind first when the talk turns to those sports—the all-time hero through the years? No man or group has ever given the answer, but the argu- meats make the best fuel when the hot stove league opens up the damper. The greatest navies of sport are not always the finest per- formers, They do, however, combine ability with the most valuable asset -color. Babe Ruth not only bit more hone runs than any other man, but every move he made was news. Even to his famous stomach- ache. The Bambino was probably the most colorful figure ever to hit baseball. Many declare Joe DiMaggio a greater player, and of course there are legions who insist that Ty Cobb, with his breath- taking speed on the bases, his deadly hitting, and his daring, was in a class by himself. And he oozed color, too. To which the Ruthians retort that the Babe was a great pitcher, a catcher, a first-rate outfielder and the greatest home -run hitter of all. Was Jack Dempsey the top figure in boxing's history? Veteran ring fans insist Jim Jeffries was a better heavyweight champ, Fitzsimmons a harder hitter, Jim Corbett more skilful, and undoubtedly that hero of the eighties, the mighty John L, Sullivan was more boisterous. Yet no one has approached the gates Dempsey attracted and few have matched the slashing fury of the colorful Mauler in the Willard or Firpo fights. Who gets the nod in boxing? Since the dawn of football, the fans have fought over their 4'avorites, They bring up Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle Indian whose plunging and kicking are legendary. Jim has made virtually every all-star eleven listed. But they can't forget Red Grange, the Gallop- ing Ghost, And in Canada they say that Lionel Conacher was probably the equal of either, and a far greater all-round athlete than Grange. Racing has its immortals in Citation, Exterminator and Sea Biscuit. Yet most racing fans in America start and finish with one name—Man o' War. The jockey heroes will be Tod Sloan, Earl Sande and right on down to Johnny Longden and Eddie Arcaro. Track and field has produced many great names—Olympic and world champions. Who comes first? Is it Charlie Paddock, the "world's fastest human,' or Paavo Nurmi, the inscrutable Finn, or fleet Jesse Owens, the scourge of the Nazis in the '36 Olym- pics? Or Clarence DeMar, seven times winner of the gruelling Boston marathon? What of golf? Is it Bobby Jones, the only man ever to win the "Grand Slam" or Walter Hagen or today's Ben Hogan, Tennis and Bill Tilden, wrestling and Frank Gotch or Ed ;Strangler) Lewis. You wanna headache? Pick 'em yourself. Your comments and suggestions for this column will be welcomed by Omer Ferguson, c10 Calvert house, 431 Yonge 5f., Toronto. Catvtrt DISTILLERS LIMITED AMHERSTBURO, ONTARIO How Can By Anne Ashley Q. How can I shrink dress goods? A, Dress goods may be very easily shrunk by placing it folded in a tub of cold water, to which a few handfuls of salt have been Added. After a few hours, hang on the line without folding. The weight of the water prevents wrinkles drying in, and the salt sets the color, Q. How can I render wood waterproof? A. Soak it in a `mixture consist- ing onsisting of 6 parts boracic acid, 5 parts ammonium chloride, 3 parts sodium borate, and 100 parts water, Q. What can I do when cream refuses to whip? A. Try adding the white of an egg to it. Let both cream and egg be thoroughly chilled before at- tempting to whip. Q. How can I prepare better gravy? A. Use water in which mild flavored vegetables have been cooked, for the gravy, rather than fresh water. A finer flavor will be the result, and it is also an economy as the water contains valuable fnin- orals, Q. How can I remove marks from stone steps and window sills? A. Rub with a piece of coarse sandpaper, After rubbing, dust off with a cloth or duster, Stone clean- ed in this way stays white much longer than by using water. Q. How can I remove kerosene spots from cloth? A. If kerosene has been 'spilled on cloth, scour the spot with tur- pentine, then with soap and warm water. Q. How can I treat hardwood floors that have become" scarred with dark marks from rockers or furniture casters? A. Rub the marks with very fine steel wool, dipped in quite soapy water. Rinse with clear water, and then apply a good furniture polish. Q. How can I increase the quantity of soup on hand without weakening it by adding water? A. Keep a box of bouillon cubes on hand for this purpose. Add two cubes to two cups of water, to in- crease the quantity of soup with- out detracting from its flavor. Q. How can I blacken tan leather? A. Try rubbing the leather thoroughly with the inside of a raw potato. Let dry and then polish. Q. How can I make frosted glass for a window? A, Clean the glass with gasoline, Then cover with white tissue paper which fits exactly and apply clear waterproof varnish thinned 25 per cent with turpentine. The varnish soaks through the paper, sticking it to the glias. and thus effecting a frosted window, Hippo Swallows Hippo?—lt looks as though Bongo is swallowing Ills roommate, Pinky, but actually they are both just begging for t.eanuts in the zoo. Wonder how many bushels it would take to fill those yawning caverns, Treat For Dog Lovers — Some of the most outstanding dogs in Canada and the United States will be seen in the Coliseum, To- ronto, during the two dog shows being held in conjunction with the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, March 19 - 20 and 21 - 22, for the benefit of the Toronto Humane Society, Here Sheila Watson, with a prized Yorkshire Terrier, gets ready for the big canine exhibition. Don't Overcook Those Vegetables Fresh vegetables are year 'round favorites, and especially so this time of year, and now we like to make the most of them. Cook only enough for one meal unless you plan use of left -over in salad next day. Reheating reduces vitamin content. Don't use too much water when boiling, it also reduces precious minerals and vita- mins. Vegetables parings should be paper -thin, And the best way to accomplish this it with trick parer quick too. Don't soak vege- tables, Prepare just before cooking if possible, or else keep in 'frig, out of water with exception of potatoes, until time to use them. Start cooking with boiling water, then add vegetables bringing quick- ly to a boil. Keep lid tight on pan to shorten cooking time, save on vitamins. If you must keep cooked vegetables hot a few minutes after draining, set pan in pan of boiling water. Vegetables are best when cook-, ed until tender crisp , . . as a rule don't cook them as long as you think you should, Legalized Robbery No matter how thin it is sliced, inflation is legalized robbery. Selected groups can be protected against it to some extent by parity programs or escalator wage claus- es. But the advantage of these groups merely make it tougher for the non -sheltered groups. The cost of parity supports or wage escala- tors conies out of the hides of those on fixed incomes, unorganiz- ed workers, and stockholders. As I have said, limited applica- tion of such protective devices does not necessarily mean inflation. It is merely robbing Peter to pay Paul. But we are asked to believe that through some kind of financial skullduggery Paul can be paid without robbing Peter. The only source of new purchasing power in the amounts that would oe re- quired for this kind of financia' bootstrap levitation is the govern- ment. Those on fixed incomes, the un- organized workers, and the owners of the tools of industry would still be behind the eight -ball. The bur- den of an inflation on the scale required to suppiy everyone with enough dollars to keep up with the rising prices would accelerate the tempo of currency depreciation and lorg before its value had reached zero, the de'.;t would be repudiated. Thee, at last, would be ter- minated tit' cycle of deceit and fraud which began when govern- ment initiated. and the people ac- cepted. the policy of public benefits beyond their willingness to pay. No sc' time cf currency depreciation and inflation car disguise the in- exorable truth of that elementary fact of eco ,ornic li€r--There is no Free i-t:n..h. —Harley L.

"Genuine" Mermaid In Goldfish Bowl Judging from what's in store for the more than 200,000 visitors expected to turn out to Canada's annual indoor show for the out- door fans, the wily denizens of forest and stream are in for a shock come open seasons in the big battle of brains versus instinct. Hard at work all winter, in- dustry has come up with some bright new gadgets for the tackle box and gun room plus a few for travel over land and water. All these will glitter at the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, coming up for its fifth straight year at the Coliseum in Toronto's CNE grounds. Open season will be March 14 to 22 inclusive. With new and different enter- tainment features, though the perennial Shady, .a trained seal, will be back, it all adds up to what Frank H. Kortright, presi- dent of the Toronto Anglers' and Hunters' Association, sponsors of the show, calls the biggest and best show yet. Here are a few of the lures that will attract sportsmen, sport deal- ers and the general public by the thousands: —A "genuine" mermaid in a goldfish bowl. —The latest thing in fish lures; a dead minnow preserved and encased in pliable plastic. It's durable, waterproof and utterly life -like they say. —A salon where visitors can take photographs of models, get tips on photography, courtesy the Photo Finishers Assn. — Mechanical tuna fishing. You can hook, play and land your fish under realistic conditions in this setup. — A British Jaguar model car which features a "convertible" top. It converts from conventional canvas to hard top for cooler weather driving. —Worm dope. At 50c, e.g., a bottle you can drop a little on a worm. hole and tiie worm will "come rushing out like mad," ready for scooping up by the prospective angler, Along with the complete range of the latest in sporting equip- ment, there'll be such other at- tractions as a talking crow, a dis- play of antique guns, put on by the Province of Ontario, and a four-day dos show, said to be the biggest in Canada this year. Cana- da's Army and Nary will be o>at in force. So will the experts anti champions with rod and gun, to demonstrate the proper techniques for such things as "spinning," fishing'e latest innovation.
