The women of Oklahoma City have learned how to make several gardens flourish where nilly one grew before, says the Christian Science Monitor. For a number of years the Town Club, like women's orgainizations in other communities, offered prizes fee the best gardens, Then the women realized that the majority of the con- Iestants were those who landscaped t ieir 1 grounds anyway. The club prizes, therefore, were not inducing Mee efforts, but merely serving as a Pleasant recognition of gardens which would be just as well planted' and tended with out them. The prizes had been offered in classification accord- ing to the value of the premises on which they were grown, beginning with the house valued at less than $5,000. The club therefore turned its attention to the owners of home's Costing not more than $5,000, and set out to find those who had hither- to lacked inclination or funds to make gardens. • The city was zoned and in each zone a householder was chosen who Would be willing to give the neces- sary labor and to furnish the water required for the plants. A lane: cups.: architect drew plans for each entrant and served as adviser, the club furn- ishing the sod, seeds, shrubs ane bulbs. A committee in each zone encour- aged the contestant in that zone, orae group even setting forth with a p:ono: supper to be eaten after the workers had aided the home owner by digging up wild grass and, dandelions on his ;remises. One contestant, a book- keeper in a down town office, worked early in the morning and late in the evening at weeding and pruning anti tc ndiag her garden. As a result not only have those chosen for the competition been in- duced to beautify their premises, but their neighbors, interested observers of the process, have set to work to elven up their yards, to sod and to plant and to water so that the en- tire community has been benotitee :howing what civic interest can do working through the medium of gar- dens to, make a home and a city a more beautiful place'in which to live, TWELVE-l:NGI1NE AIRPLANE. Swiss Transatlantic 'Plane Will Have Twelve Propellers. • The roar of a gigantic airplane with twelve engines and a total of 5,000 horse -power will soon be heard over .the Atlantic. The Dornier sea- plane works are building a Trans- atlantic 'plane known by the cryptic name of D 0 ;Y at Altenrhein, in Switzerland, No airplane or seaplane has hither- to had more than four motors. The ewelve motors of the D 0 X will be arranged in size tandems of two each, and will have twelve propellers. This Aquitania of the air will t.itus have a motor power double that of the great Zeppelin airship LZ127, which is nearing completion in the yards at Friedrichshafen. German aviators hope that the new giant air liner, which is to make a trial trip across the Atlantic during the summer, will inaugurate a regu- lar passenger air service between Europe and America. The D 0 X will be ".able to land on the water, and is built so stxongly that it will be able to defy the rage of the open ocean. It will carry from twenty-five to thirty passengers, as well as a certain amount of freight, in addition to the large quantities of fuel for the supply of the twelve: motors. The crew will consist of a captain, two pilots, two engineers, and a wire- less operator, and the chart -room will, with its equipment of nautical instruments, resemble that of an ordi- nary ocean liner, Many Uses of Nutmegs. The nutmeg tree is one of the most useful trees in the tropic forests. An ordinary tree will yield from 1,000 to 10,000 nuts in a year, All parts of the fruit are in demand for culi- nary purposes. In Singapore the na- tives salt the husks, and in drink sa- loons they are supplied for the pur- pose of creating thirst. A delicious preserve is also prepared from the husks: The nutmeg is employed in medi- cine as a carminative stimulant, and fat from the nut—the so-called nut- meg butter—is used as an applica- tion for rheumatism. .It contains from three to eight per cent, of a volatile oil, and the subeianee myris- ticin, which possess narcotic proper- ties. Cases of poisoni,t,g as a result of chewing nutmegs hat e been re- corded ---a single nutmeg • seriously affecting the cerebral functions of man. Oft Christened City of Peking. • The Russian capitol has been sub- jected to many name changes, butin thisrespect is a long second to Pe- king. In the twelfth century B.C. Peking was known as Chi, but this was changed to Yen early in the Christian. era, ' In the seventh cess tory A..D. it became Yu -Chou, and 300 years later Nan -Citing. This was again altered in the following cen- tury to Ven -Cheng, y i e ,,, and again to the more imposing -sounding Khan-baligh in the thirteenth century. Its pres- ent name of Pei -thing or Peking was flied upon nearly 600 years ago, though even this is not its oftielee title, which is Shun -tiers -fu. 'What Became of the Penny?

Mecleanizltig the Army In Inc'llla Xs Largely an Experiment, A comprehensive statement on the progress of mechanization of the army in India was. made by G. Macke, worth Young, the secretary to the Army Department, in a memorandum 'which . he tabled' in the Legislative Assembly as a reply to several ques- tions • by members. Mr. Young explained that the ap- parent slowness of the procet,s of modernization and mechanization of the army was due to the fact that, owing to reasons of economy the authorities must carefully watch ex- periments at home (Great Britain) and make quite sure that the y were successful before committing them- selves to the expense of adopting them in India. The task of keeping pace In the modernization of equip- ment with the progress made in the United Kingdom and other foreign countries bad been made difficult in the past few years owing to tee ac- ceptance by the Government of re- commendations of the retrenchment committee. The main feature of modernization was the substitution of mechanical for animal transport wherever pos- sible, The Government, he said, would encourage the use of six - wheeled vehicles in the country by a system of subsidy. Three results of replacing animal by mechanical transport would be greatly, increased mobility in war, slight economy in peace and great economy in war. The army secretary explained me- chanizo.tion schemes in artillery, men- tionea a:.r,orlu:oma in the use and re- liability of smoke for screening pur- poses under Indian conditions, and anti-aircraft defence and anti -gas measures. Steps were taken to keep the reserve army force in India up to (; date and provision for this was being made from army savingswith no net addition in the budget. THE KING'S . CA.R. Last Oar Was In Constant Use for Over Thirteen Years. . As a motorist, King George sets an example in economy. Many people imagine that the King has only to desire a new car, and one appears. The reverse is the ease. His Majesty is by no means a rich man, and after the needs of hospital- ity and upkeep- have been met the royal grant allows very little margin Sol- expensive whims. The King's last car was in eon - 'tent use for over thirteen years. In- deed, it was only due to his anxiety to encourage industry that he gave way to the representations made to him and ordered a new one. ' The buying of the royal car is by no means the simple task it sounds, ande is not merely a matter of going into the largest show - room and choosing a model. A full-size plan is first drawn on a wall for the King's inspection. Now that the State coach is rarely used for ceremonial occa- sions, apart from 'the opening of Par- liament, many of the features of the gilded coach have to be incorporated into the design of the royal car. The windowna are made exceptional- ly large, so that the public can see their Majesties during processions. The height of the car, too, must be sufficient to allow the King to wear the tall head-dresses that State occa- sions demand. Spare wheels are fix- ed on the side of the bonnet, The King's ear does not bear a registration number plate, but car- ries instead a shield bearing the Royal Standard in the day time. At night a distinguishing blue light is used to enable the police to afford it precedence, THE LORD MAYOR'S ,JOB. Is Called Upon to Spend $75,000 of His Own Money. The chain worn by the Lord Mayor of London is a most valuable affair. The diamonds with which this insig- nia is studded are valued at $600,- 00.0, and before it is handed over to the Lord Mayor he has to give a bond for that amount, covering its safe custody. This is the first expense which falls upon the new Load Mayor. He is also called upon to spend something like $12,500 for his coach and horses, with the liveries of his'staff of servants. The festivities involve an expenditure of anything up to $10,000, and then there is the contract for the catering at the Mansion House during the year to arrange. Altogether, even reckoning the $5.0,000 he receives from the City a Loi'd Mayor needs to 'put up" about $75,000 at the very least. BREED SHEEP IN B.C. Flocks on High Plateau Are Safe From Coyotes. One of the most interesting and revolutionary changes in' British Co- lumbia's live stock industry during the past few years has been the growth of sheep raising. Huge flocks, have been driven in from Washing- ton, Oregon and Montana, and many of the ranges which years ago were devoted to beef cattle are now affor3- lag pasturage for sheep, More than 3,600 grade 0merino shee arenow' p on Hunter's range at an altitude oabout 5,0(10 feet, too high for coyotes to bother the sheep. There are. no cougar so high up, and the only . enemies the sheep have are the grizzly bears. These only kill when hungry and if their d • red t s i op at on are excessive hunt- ers will soon thin their ranks, To Spend $11,500,000. Between now and the spring of 1930, the.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL A wondrous tale I would unfold, come children gather near, I':ll tell you how old Santa Claus ar- rived in town this year. One night last week I was asleep, quite comfy in my bed When a whirring noise aroused nee from somewhere overhead; Then leaping quickly from my couch and throwing wide the door, I gazed upon a vision I lied never seen before. A wonderful big aeroplane had land- ed in the night, I looked until my eyes grew dim, at such a radiant sight, it was painted, allin colors, most marvellously gay, I knew by its aplicarance it had come a long, long way. There was snow and ice upon it, which glistened like the stars, > And at first I thought it must be a visitor from Mars; But a tittle man alighted, and toddled into view, His smile was hely roguish and his eyes were very blue , lie was bundled in a great coat that was a fiery red, His beard was like a snow drift, and a cap was on. his head. And as I gazed in wonder, upon this brilliant sight, I knew that it was Santa Claus who had arrived that night, He placed his hands -upon iris hips and looking up and down, 1 said • ' 1is leant Them.she "So this Wingham, well it surely is some town, I like its grated hppearanace, it people must be great, • I'd love to stay 411a visit. here, but lads we, cantos wait, We nlust unload our _cargo, all these mighty bags of toys dateeeee That are to be distributed amongst reached, forgotten eves all care, the girls and boys. -And the city rocked With gladness, fez- Santa urSanta Claus was there, • When 1 heard that I grabbed my coat not waiting for my hat, T thought perhaps with Santa Claus I could have a little chat, But every one was toiling, lots of work, but no abuse, They were on their way to Lond,nr on the famous Huron and Entice, The children all were gathered 'round to see old Santa smile, And Abner Goof was busy giving can- • dy all the while, Hoof -us Goofus stood there grinning, as happy as a lord, When .lilac i)cmald, the conductor, loud ly shouted, "All aboard". 1 I)unc. Hogga rtli, the wee brakeman, took old Santa to a seat, And said he, "I'll turn one over, so you can rest your feet". Bill Sneath was very busy in the bag- gage coach ahead, He said 'twill be fine \t eather if it doesn't rain instead, Arlie Copeland in the snail car, was working with Geo, Hughes, Sorting out the Xmas parcels, i t, t tile letters and the news; Away up on the engine was the vet= eras Homer Stott, Chet Patterson assisting hint to keep the fire -box hot. At I3elgrave, Blyth and Londesboro, the children all turned out, At Clinton, Fir ucefield, Kippenl, there was many a laugh and shout, At Hensall and Exeter, Centralia and Clande b boys, The right of way tvas,cr<itt'ded with a seething mass of joy. At I,Uean crossing ' twee .a11 os t f 5 i ;. � e e,s feitficl<l and Ilderton; Hyde Park turned not a merry crowd to Mix tip in the fun; And when Old London ,Tewto was Then give a cheer for old St. Nick, and for his partners true, - Another cheer for London and `"rite London Free Press" too, A Hip Hooray! for Xmas day, may every girl and boy Receive the gift they wished for most to fill each heart with ,joy, May every one have happiness, each mother and each dad, For that's why Santa Claus comes,. round to make his people glad, And here's a toast to Wingham town, that's won a mighty name, Where Santa boards the Huron and Bruce and leaves itis aeroplane, M.
