But traffic wasn't stopped, as picture shows, of humour than loss of temper. My tricycle, unpadloeked, was stolen and recovered for me.

I eeliug a complete fool, 1 went to the police station to confess that 1 had allowed the machine to be stolen for the second time in one week.

"We've had it all the time, miss," he explained with a chuckle. "A constable saw it on the curb, recognized it as yours - and thought he'd teach you a lesson!" The Betuusville Express, pub - /felled right in the heart of the Niagara fruit belt, doesn't mince matters in a recent report on fruit. Inspcctiou. The Express says: * a The Fruit and Vegetable Inspec- tion Branch of the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture is cracking down ou fartners'who pick and at- tempt to ship to ntarikets produce that is below standard. * t "Sone farmers start screaming," 'dales an official at the inspection branch, "but they asked for it," At the convention of the Niagara Pen- insula Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association last fall a motion was unanimously passed called for str:et government inspection of all fruit and vegetables harvested. A similar notion was passed by the Horti- cultural council in Ottawa. r: * a The stain idea behind the notion was to raise the standard of On- tario fruit sold to the consumer. Poor fruit of the past kw years had under -quality, green, sub -standard produce undermined the confidence of the consumer in Ontario produce, with the result that the shopper was more likely to buy imported fruit, either from United States or British Columbia farms. The con- sumer, it was stated at the conven- tion, would rather pay a few cents more for his produce and be assured of No, 1 quality. a. e e Chet -rice that were seized this week by il,e insprct'on branch, marked as No. 1 finality, would have made tine most tolerant shop- per hopping niad, and certainly would have made him or her think twice before buying Ontario pro- duce, stamped No, 1. ✓ * * One basket seized. when sorted ottt, contained 18% No. 1 cherries. The remainder were immature, small; dried-up. rotten and away below No. 1 standard. "A shopper buying that basket would have blown his top," said the official at the inspection branch, "and would sooner have thrown his money away at a race track than toss it down the drain on trash like that." w * * Supervising Inspector L. C. Sturdy seized 20 similar baskets at the CNR freight station at 1Ves- tern Hill. "Whetter they realize it or not,," said Mr. Sturdy, "farmers like that are only rutting their own throats by allowing fruit like that to kave their farms." He said that there have been quite a few similar instances this year when below par produce has been sent back to the farmer. "They asked for it..and when we put the screws on, they scream," said Alt. Sturdy. • 6 * Ile said that. there are many farmers who are cm -operating to the fullest in seeing that only top quality produce is shipped. "They realize that by doing it, that way, the fruit industry in Ontario has a ranch greater thence of prosper- ing," r 9 t Air. Sturdy said that all cherries. .141. slit' teeml9.

They have also robbed houses, committed murder and occasionally have lost their own lives while sleepwalking. Recent cases in medical journals describe that of the 16 -year-old schoolboy who used to get out of beef, pick his way through a dark- ened room, carefulll' avoiding all obstacles, then travel mike by foot and bus while still asleep. Next morning he would be baric in his roots, unable to remember anything about it. Psychiatrists discovered that six months previously he had volun- teered to he hypnotised 00 the stage. The hypnotist had toll trim that he would remain under hyp- notic influence for six months, after which time he trust return to the theatre and sec the hypnot- ist again. The boy's sleepwalking was an attempt to do this. Another case was that of the taxi-driver who would go to sleep after a hard day's work, dress while still asleep and do another five or six hours' stint at the wheel, "Used to Wonder" He used to wonder where the money in his pockets came from in the morning. It transpired that for twenty years the taxi-driver had worked only at nights, but considered that since he was getting older rte would switch to daytime driving. 1'Ite old habits were so strong that his unconscious mind took (tint back to work at nights while Ite was still asleep. Tried Marbles In some cases of sleepwalking the victim's subconscious mind seems to attempt to remind him that he can have no real rest until a cer- tain worrying task is finished. He is driven out of his comfort- able bed into the open to mend a brolcen drain, or into the garage to trace an electrical fault in the engine of his car. >l p Wa1kerl3 Do Came ''. Vhahag Otte sleepwalker tied a length of string to his stand and to tine bed- post. In the night, as he was about to wander again, the pull of the string wakened Stint, and after that he was cured. But when titin remedy has beets tried "u other sleepwalkers h hasn't always wtt'ked. They either stroke the string or untied it. When it comes to untying knots in tlteir steep most sleepwalker, are as good as 1loudini used t0 hr, One wife of a siecpirtlhr'r spread marbles on the 11,n,r at the side of Inn husband's bed with the idea that the pain PI stepping on theta in' his bare feet would waken him, The trick worked the first night, Mit on the second her sleepwalking spouse merely removed the eider- down from the Bed, flung it across the marbles and went on his way. In 1871) a mean accused of murder tried to prove he was a somnambu- list and had fired the fatal shot in hitt sleet,. Tire judge reiused to allow such testimony, but a court of appeal re- versed the guilty verdict and the defendant was eventually freed, Certain phases of sleepwalking still baffle the experts. Only one fact is certain that the sleep- walker's body is rontrolled by his subconscious mind. This deep reservoir of his hopes, fears, problems anti frustrations takes direct control not only of the sleepwalker's limbs and muscles but borrows some of the faculties of the conscious mind as well. It uses theist ha the physical expres- sion of actual desires. Baffled Experts In the more common forms of sleepwalking, somnambulism usual- ly occurs about two hours after re- tiriug when sleep reaches its greatest depth. How long the state lasts depends on the individual and his personal- ity. It may last a few minutes, a few hours, or several months. The somnambulist may journey to a distant town, get a job, buy a house, and even marry. This is the reason why some erns- nent authorities believe that most of the disappearance and loss -of - memory cases we constantly hear about may actually involve sona- nambulisnt. hot. Peel peaches and slice, Place in balking dish. Add sugar, tapioca, lemon juice, rind and cinnamon to peaches; stir in gently. Drop but- ter in small pieces over peaches. Sift flour, measure. Sift again with baking powder, salt and sugar. Beat yolk until bubbly and add to milk. Cut shortening into dry in- gredients until mixture is consis- tency of coarse cornmeal. Add nuts; stir in egg -milk mixture, mix- ing just enough to moisten all dry ingredients. Turn out onto floured board and roll out to fit top of halting disci.

Memory Selection -Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord loolceth on the heart. 1 Sam- uel 16:7. This is the first of four lessens directly on David. We have more information about his extremely important career than we have about any other Old Testament character, it is a thrilling story. He was the youngest of eight brothers and was brought in from following the sheep to be anointed king of Israel. When Saul desired a musician, one of his set'vattts stug- gested David, describing him as one "that is cunning in playing and a nighty valiant man and a roan of war, and prudent in mat- ters, and a comely person. and the Lord is with !tint." History records no such renlark- able friendship between two 01511 as that between David and jona- titatt, Ping Saui's son. Under the circumstances one might have ex- pected enmity and jealousy. But,. instead, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David. Oa Jonathan's death David lamented, "1 ant distressed for thee my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto nae: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." Forced to take refuge in the cave of Aduligzn, David was joined by 400 men of broken fortunes, rest- less spirits, who were so up against it they knew not what to do with themselves. They were men with no reputation to maintain, for whom vengeance was natural. Yet with David as their captain they offered no offence to the offensive Saul nor gave any disturbance to the peace of the kingdom. Their wild natures were subdued and di- rected. Thank God, Jesus, the Son of David, is also ready to receive dis- tressed sten and women who will choose him as their captain, and be commanded by 'hint. They will find a new leader, a. new service, and a new life -new things far more wonderful than those that attrac- ted the four hundred to David of SAFETY FIRST The railway porter looked search- ingly at the three girls waiting oat the platform. "Aren't you the crooning trio who sang on the radio tonight?" "That's right," one of them told hint. "We were making our dlbut onthe air." "And where are you bound for now?" "We're just or to Northern On- tario."
