PARKERISMS
Press agents for road shows and
carnivals will stop at nothing to
grab a little free publicity and
provide grist for their quills, One
even staged a mock marriage be-
tween two elephants, with a third
pact); tern acting as minister. A
Los \ngeles paper obligingly
printed a photograph of the weird
elephantasy on the front page.
Dorothy Parker's comment was, "I
give it six months!"
*Miss Parker was asked another
time to express an opinion of an
overpraised novelist. She remark-
ed, "He's a writer for the ages—
for the ages of four to eight."
At a dinner party, Miss Parker
was irked by the antics of one of
those ladies of fifty who dresses
like a debutante, drooling over an
e ut ba r r a s sed colonel. Vaguely
aware of a threat of mayhem in the
air, she giggled se'f-consciously and
explained, "It's his uniform. I just
love soldiers." "Yes." agreed Miss
Parker, "you have in every war."
Q. How can I produce holes in
panes of thin or weak glass?
A. Provide the places to be per-
forated with a ring of moist loam,
whose center leaves free a portion
of glass exactly the size of the hole
desired, Pour molten lead into the
ring, and the glass and lead will
tail through at once.
Q. How can I raise the nap of
a rug that has become flattened
from heavy articles of furniture?
-\. Penipen a chamois, fold it
seversl times. and place- it over the
mark. After the chatnois has been
there for several hours, the mark
will have eisappcared.
Q. How can I remove a grease
spot from the wall paper?
A. Pat some (tiller's earth,. French
chalk, or plain talcum powder on
the spot sad allow to remain for
several days. Then brush off.
Q. How can I easily wash paint-
ed walls?
A. Use- two pails of lukewarm
nater. \Vet a cloth and sprinkle
sparingly with baking soda, Wash
a convenient spare, rinse with clear
wateneater, arid wipe dry. All
grease and dirt disappears with
very little- rubbing.

This column is being written a
day , ahead of time because tomor-
row we are expecting a friend from
Montreal. It will be aur first meet-
ing in three -years so we shall have
plenty to talk about. And believe -me,
there will be very little fussing over
meals tomorrow. I know this friend
of mine very well and I a1Fo know
she would rather sit down to a sand-
wich and a cup of tea than have me
wasting precious titne fixing fancy
dishes in the kitchen. However, I
expect there wilt be more than a
sandwich on our menu. After all
I still have two men to feed.
.
Daughter and two of her friends
were here today and our Honey
dog nearly went wild with excite-
ment, starting directly Daughter got
out of the car. Before long Honey's
own particular ball was brought front
its special hiding place, and then the
bin began—Honey running. jumping,
and catching the ball as long as
Datighter was willing to throw it,
Poor Honey—I ant afraid Daughter
is the only one who has patience
enough to play with het. t am just
her meal ticket and Partner is the
feilon who goes to all the interest-
ing places where tbere is sure to
he good hunting. He is 5150 the fel-
low who, can be t''usted to hand out
a bit of cookie (oven -dried bread)
when he has his four o'clock tea.
'After all,' Honey almost says with
her pathetic brown eyes, "when a
girl has been chasing around all
afternoon hunting mice or anything
that crawls she needs a little bit
c.f cookie to heap her last out until
supper time."
1 always tell Partner that Honey his little dog—must be when he
goes out of his way to spot! her. So
this is the greeting 1 got the other
day after being in Toronto.- "Don't
ever say again that Honey is my
dog," said Partner. "While you were
away she 'was quite happy with me
as long as I stayed outside but
directly we carne into the house she
was all over the place looking for
you, upstairs and downstairs, into
every room."

Tippy is our problem dog. She
senses a storm long before we hear
the first rumble of thunder and
starts trembling with fear. I often
wonder what she would do iu an
air-raid. Dull days Tippy remains
hidden at the back of the woodshed.
Nothing on earth would induce her
to ride in a car but she will run
along beside it at 30 miles an hour
for at least a quarter of a mile, and
then gives up and ambles !tome,
Tippy is the most nervous dog we
ever had around here. Why, I don't
know because site has never been
treated with anything but kindness.
But of course, we don't know what
may have happened to her before
we bought her—when she was just
a puppy. '1 e *
Come to think of it, every type
of livestock is temperamental 'in-
cluding hens. Some folk may think
all hens are pretty much of a much -
nese. We hate found out they are
not—not by a long way, Breeds of
hens are as different as races of
people. Plymouth Marred Rocks are
quiet. motherly hens. So of course
they go broody very easily and are
difficult to break up. Light Sussex
are much the seine, but more lazy
than Pocks and spend a lot of time
just sitting around in the sun. White
Leghorns are nervous and highly
strung. just give one good cough
or sneeze while feeding them and
they are all over the place, flying.
high and hanging themselves against
the pen windows. Hybrid Rock -Legs
horn -cross are even worse. In addi-
tion to being nervous they are messy
feeders, scratch around in their lay-
ing Foxes and 'break and eat their
eggs. New Itanipshires ... ah, they
are real biddies. Quiet, clean and
friendly. They sing around in their
pen and never disturb or foul their
nests. They are economical feeders,
good layers and happy, contented
biddies. When they have outlived
their usefulness they still make gond
table fowl.
# x: *
Little black hybrids — that is
B.R.X,N.IH., are almost as good. As
chickens as they feather out and
mature very rapidly. But being
smaller they are not as profitable as
Hampsbires when sold as boiling
fowl.
* * s:
And that is as far as our personal
experience goes—but I suppose I
have said enough to start an argu-
ment as most poultry people have
their own ideas as to the best and
most profitable birds to keep. That's
fine—just so long as no one tries to
talk us into keeping White Leghorns
again—even though their eggs are
as white as the driven snow !

Looe Out, Folks!
You're Being Watched
If there is an insect t :my kind
In the roost as you this --
whether it is a fly,' (beetle, cocks
roach, spider or one 'of a dozen
common species top s all to be
seen --you are probably being
watched by thottsanda of eyes.
Most insects have compound
eyes ten to twenty-five thousand
visual rods or "little eyes" coin -
pounded into one big eye, arranged
into such a comparatively 1 i bulge
that their owner sees not only to
the sides but straight ahead and
.backwards.
Those marvellous compound eyes
also give insects a range of colour.
experience quite superior to our
own, We can only see colours
within a particular ra ige-•that of
the spectrum.
Insects see much more. A bee
can see ultra -violet light. Ants and
owl_ can see infra -red
A worm has no eyes at all, yet
if you shine a light on one in the
dark it will try to squirm back into
hiding. It "sees' danger through
its pink skin, which is covered with
photo -sensitive cells.
Its daylight most birds have eye-
sight three times as .keen as our
own, yet they are almost com-
pletely blind when the sun sets.
Most birds cannot fly safely among
the branches until da_'li;ht allows
good vision,
Nighthawks, owts, and other noc-
turnal birds have eyes that are
built to operate at night. During
the daytime they lie motionless be-
cause their eyes, though larger
than those of many clay -active
birds, allow no clear picture of
familiar scenes in the fall light of
day.
Their eyes serve them best in the
dim illutninatlon of the twilight sky
when they patrol for flights of
moths and beetles. Accuracy of
d'y vision has been sacrificed in
favour of the extra sensitivity re-
quired in the dark.
Birds have a "third eyelid." While
a bird is flying, its third eyelid
passes back and forth across' its
eye in a sideways movement, peep-
ing the eye moist and clearing it
of dust.
It is not quite true that cats and
dogs can "see" in the dark. It is
true that they can distinguish things
in darkness much better than we
can, because their pupils can be
distended to a far greater extent.
This permits titers to absorb and
make good use of rays of light that
are so faint they snake no impres-
sion at all on the Itllinan eye.
Take a dog or eat into a roost
that is "pitch dark" to our eyes
and it will find its way about. It

his is partly explained by the
s411,5e of touch, A slug can steer by
the tip of his nose and a cat by
using her whisky's, and these or-
gans are amazingly efficient and
sensitive.
If a dog is blind; or' if he has his
eyes bandaged, lie can still find his
way quite safely by the guidance
of his nose, but he cannot jump.
Ile will have to be lifted on to
a chair, even though he has dis-
covered its position.
This is because in total darkness
animals are as helpless as we are.
They "see in the dark" quite well
simply bectuIee even on the dark-
est night there is ascertain amount
of light about. and they are able to
stake far better use of it than we
can.
