Q. --How can I remove an ui1-
used atamp from an envelope?
A.—By dipping it in boiling wa-
ter for a minute. It will slip off
the paper readily, and usually
leaves enough mucilage on the
etamp for using again.
Q. -.How can I make a substi-
tute for cream on cereal, or in
coffee?
A.—When it becomes necessary
to use milk, instead of cream, on
the cereal or In the coffee, scald
the milk first and then serve hot.
It will give the effect .of Bream.
Q.—Flow can I clean white
woodwork?
A. --Tse a solution of equal
arts of kerosene and vinegar.
Nor will this solution Injure the
hands.
Q.—How can I preserve a rub-
ber article?

above a dish or pan containing a
small quantity of kerosene. The
vapor arising will prevent crack-
ing, and will not injure the rub-
ber.
Q.—How can I attach a food
chopper to a porcelain -top. table?
A.—Place a piece of sandpaper
wander the clamps to hold it firmly
hi piacee. See that the sandpaper
is rough aide up and then screw
down the clamps tightly.

What Science
* Is Doing
SKIN GROWS THIUKER
Plastic surgeons can nos, lift a
patch of ordinary human skin and
cause it to grow thicker while wait-
ing for transplantation to cover a
wound.
This ne,. step in healing, describ-
ed in the American Journal of Surg-
ery, makes it easier to cover bad
wounds fron auto accidents and
burns. The thickened skin acts as
tiller as well as covering. It makes
repairs with me layer where for-
xeerly sometimes two layers of tis-
sue and two operations were re-
quired.

WARM WEATHER REDUCES
Two University of Cincinnati
scientists have concluded that tem-
perature may have a pronounced
erect upon the growth of humans.
They reported this week on studies
which indicate that :he tide in hn-
xean growth is turning and people
are getting smaller again.
They believe that rising world
temperatures in recent years have
tended to halt what seemed to be
aee notable increase in height and
weight of colic-,, students.

Gardening
PLANS
Gardenin§ is nota Bobby that
requires a lot of expensive gadgets
or other equipment. A free seed
catalogue, a few packages of good
' seeds, a few shrubs, some paper,
pencil, a rake and a spade are the
only absolutely- necessary essen-
tials.
In the average case the amount
of land at one's disposal is limited,
but even with but a few square
yards, amazing results • can be
achieved.
SMALL PLOTS
Where space is small, it is advis-
able to follow a strictly informal
layout with the central portion of
the garden cleared of beds and
shruibbery and devoted entirely to
grass. .Around the edges will ,be
grouped beds of perennial and an-
nual.
nnuai Sowers, leading up to shrubs
and • vines along the walls or €ence.
boundaries. This open centre adds
to the effect of spaciousness, and
if the rigid boundaries are softened
and partially hidden, so much the
better.
. AND LARGER ONES
Where the garden is larger, say
over thirty feet in length, experts
advocate some screening off of
some portion by bringing forward
the surrounding shrubbery at one
point, or by a hedge, wall of trees
so that the whole affair will not be
entirely visible from any one point
of observation. This will add
further to that air of spaciousness
and also provide a secluded corner
or two for a swing, sandbox or a
trellis -covered table.
SHRUBBERY
In the general plan, the taller
shrubs, such as the common spirea,
honeysuckle, forsythia, syringo,
or liac are placed farthest back.
In. front go the smaller shrubs, like
the barberry, in different shades of
foliage, the low spireas, the deutzia
or similar things that never exceed
three or four feet in height at ma-
turity. In this class, too, will come
many of the perennial .flowers, iris,
phlox, peonies, plants of medium
height and which like all peren-
nials when once planted and estab-
lished will come up each year and
flower with very little further at-
tention.

Farm Capital
Turnover Slow
Farms Require High Capital In-
vestment For That Reason—
Depend On Biological Pro-
cesses.
Farming is similar to any other
business in that the same necessary
principles may be applied. Farm
ers, as well as other business men,
are dependent en the margin be-
tween costs and returns. An Int
portant factor affecting that margin
is the rate of capital turnover.
Farms require a relatively high
capital investment, hence it Is im-
portant to secure a large annual
turnover if capital charges are to
be met. The first year report on
the Ontario Dairy Farm study, as
reported by the Economics Divi-
sion,
ivision, Marketing 'Service, Dominion.
Department of Agriculture, illus
trates this point. The Milk Market
group having the most favorable
ratio between receipts and invest-
ment would require an average of
three years for receipts to equal in-
vestment.
Returns Slow Coming in
The difference between the farm
and city business is due to the far-
mer's dependence on biological
processes. Some farmers produce
milk, eggs and other products which
are sold frequently throughout the
year. Where this type of produc-
tion is possible, it aids in financing
and may offset borrowing for part
of the year. Many producers, how-
ever, depend for part of their in-
come on sales of crops and live
stoock, some of which require up
to three or four years to reach ma-
turity. The annual turnover with
such enterprises is slow and
creates a heavy demand for capital,
Love Handicaps
Student Greatly
To Blame For Failures, Says
Professor; Inability To
Concentrate
Love is a great handicap to the
accumulation of knowledge, accord-
ing to Dr. Ray S. Musgrave, pro-
fessor of psychology at Birming-
ham. -Southern College.
Dr. Musgrave placed student ro-
mances at the top of the list of
reasons for failures to pass courses,
Next came parties and extra cur-
ricular activities.
The well-known "grudge against
the,professor" and financial worries
also were listed as chief factors
making for bad marks.
But love tops them all, Dr. Mus-
grave said.
"When a student is in love, he
is unable to concentrate on his
studies," he said,
In the prison hospital at Tou-
louse, France, where he was held
to await trial on robbery charges,
Sylvio de Souza joined a funeral
cortege as it passed him in the
garden and walked out to freedom
with the mourners.
TIRED FEET
s&« Is Found
Strong As Steel
Most Efficient Material In Rela-
tion To Weight, i3 Claim of
Toted European Engineer.
That the long-awaited "glares
age" in architecture has actually
arrived is emphasized by J'aroslav
Polivka, noted European engineer,
M the current Architectural Re-
cord. In both compression and
tension, toughened glass, says Dr,
Polivka, is one of the most efficient
load-bearing materials.
In Compression, Tension
While glass has been used wide-
ly for many years because of its
light -transmitting values, possibili-
ties for utilizing its high structur-
al strength have been neglected,
Dr. Polivka says. He has conduct-
ed extensive researches which have
made possible several notable
buildings in which glass predom-
inates in walls and roofs, such as
the Czech Pavilion in Paris and
the Rotterdam Corn Exchange,
with its 50,000 square foot glass -
concrete roof.
In tests of compressive strength
he found that a three-inch square
column of molded glass one foot
high could withstand 100 tdirs—
the same pressure as could be
borne by a 16 x 7 inch steel I-
beam, and by larger sizes of other
structural !naterialr such as wood,
concrete and brick. Toughened or
heat -tempered glass is more than
twice as strong as the molded pro-
duct.

"Bit too high a figure for a poor

1. If a man is entertaining a
group of friends in a restaurant or
a hotel dining room, in what ord-
er do they go to the table?
2. Isn't it discourteous for a
woman to offer to pay her share of
the expenses, when she is the
guest of a man at some entertain-
ment?
3. May a divorced woman con-
tinue to wear her engagement and
wedding rings?
4. Should a person avoid using
slang in conversation?
5. Is it customary to introduce
a young man formally to society?
G. What does it indicate when a
guest at the table toys with a fork
or spoon?
Answers:
1. If the head waiter leads the
way to the table, the host goes
first, to seat his guests. The wo-
men follow next, and the men of
the party last. 2. Yes; it is not
only discourteous, but humiliating
to the man. 3. She may if she de-
sires, but it is far better taste not
to do so. 4. Yes. One should use
as good English as he is capable of.
The English language contains a
larger vocabulary than any other
language in existence, and it is
really unnecessary to intersperse
every sentence with some slang'e*-
pression. 5. No, excepting a din-
ner given in his honor to celebrate
his twenty-first birthday. G. It
indicates self-consciousness and
nervousness.
