GLYCERINE FROM GAS ' It has just been discovered that glycerine, one of the chemicals in world-wide use, can be made from a gasoline by-product, waste gas. From ancient days the only source of glycerine has been ani- mal and vegetable fats. The new glycerine is neither animal nor vegetable in source. TO END COMMON COLD Medical research will uncover within two years vaccines to pre- vent the common cold and influ- enza, the respiratory ailments which are together responsible for more than half of the time lost from work because of illness by employees in American business and industry, Dr. Victor G. Heis- er, public hygienist and consultant for the U.S. National Association of Manufacturers predicts. "RUBBER" GLASS Science's newest contribution to automobile safety is `rubber" glass. which stretches and :nay break, but does not fall apart. Ability of the glass to resist severe impact and maintain its el- asticity under rigid tests has been demonstrated. The new plastic is expected to lessen the possibility of injuries resulting from a person striking an automobile windshield or window. The rebuilding of the Argentine section of the Transandine Rail- way, destroyed by a landslide in 1934, is to be started by the Ar- gentine government, which has purchased the road to restore ,overland trade with Chile. Farm Forum , Q. -I wish to secure the ap- proximate analysis of pure chick- en manure. That is, manure that contains no litter. I would also like to have any informatina. you .can., give. reg<ayd- ing pure chicken manure for lawns, golf courses, etc.-"R.A.P. Durham County." A. -The average of a Iarge number of reliable tests as to the composition of poultry manure shows that this materia] carries to the ton, 22 lbs. of Nitrogen, 17 Phosphoric Acid (P205) and 11 Potash (K20). This would give it a ton composition of about 1.1- .85-.56, or if you would multiply it by 10, it will be in about the same ratio as 11-8-5. This is about the same ratio of plantfood as that offered by one of the large Fertilizer Companies in their Spe- cial Fertilizers for golf greens. They offer 10-6-4. The point I wish to make is that the N.P.K. ra- tio is about the sante. A well- known fairway ratio is 5-12-2 which is the same in Nitrogen and Potash, but about 4, times as strong in Phosphate which would Iead me to believe that if you were going to attempt to use chicken manure on golf course fairways or on lawns, it would be best to add enough Phosphoric Acid to increase the Phosphoric Acid content about 4 times, which would be about 40 lbs. Super- phosphate (16%) per ton of man- ure. -Henry G. Bell, Dept. of Chemistry. Three Baby Bears Q.oldilodks Would Have Loved Goldilocks would have been welcomed last week by employees in the Canadian Pacific Express Offices of Windsor Station who had three bears to take care of and didn't know just quite what to do about it. Three black bear cubs from Northern Ontario, just as hungry as weak - old cubs can get, were yowling for their mother and ignoring all friendly advances on the part of the expressman. They whined pitifully for food until the expressman produced a baby's bottle, nipple and all. And then it was all over but the gulping. The cubs could not have been much more than a few weeks old. They were being shipped by Canadian Pacific Ex- press under a Department of Game and Fisheries permit from Jack Leve at Sudbury to Miss Elinor M. Crowe at Peguannock, N.Y. Gardening TIMELY HINTS Seed catalogues put out by the large firms contain much ni.ore than a mere mention of the many flowers and vegetables available in Canada. They specify import- ant points such as time of plant- ing, resistance or lack of resist- ance to frost, height, color, season of blooming, whether scented, and also the suitability of the flower for cutting purposes. All of these points should be taken into' consideration in plan- ning `a• real garden. Little plants must not be hidden by tall things, and there should be as •much bloom, in .the garden as possible from early June on. QUALITY VEGETABLES The secret of tender vegetables, whether they be grown in the city or on the farm, lies in quick growth. A check caused by dry weather or ani thing else invari- ably causes woodiness. To elim- inate such danger experienced market gardeners push their plants along with frequent applications of carefully applied commerial fertilizer. GARDEN FOR THE TENANT Pleasures and profits of gard- ening are not confined to the own- er of property. Even the tenant who moves as regularly as May lst may have a garden which will ri- val that of the most permanent nature. Of course he will not be inclined to spend a great deal of money on shrubs and trees but he gets much the same effect with annual flowers and vines. There are at least a score of big bushy annuals like dahlias, cosmos, African marigolds, and castor beans which will reach a height of three to four feet by mid-July. These will furnish am- ple background for the hundreds of dwarf to medium height annu- Tribute to the international character of Boy Scout training was paid thus by President Gro- ver Whalen of the New York World's Fair, at the erection of the first tepee of the Boy Scout camp which will be one of the fea- tures of the fair. Said the fair's president: "We could not feel that this great ex- position -international in charac- ter as it is, and representing all the soctal and economic needs of our country -would be complete if we did not have�this Scout camp." Some 300 Polish -Canadian Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Hamil- ton turned out to honour a visit- ing Scout Commissioner from Warsaw. Poland, at St. Stanis]aus Parish Ball. Among the guests were Sir George McLaren Brown, President of the Provincial Scout association, and District Commis- sioner Col. L.. Millen. Scout parents and friends at- tended the birthday party of the First Acton, Ont., Scout Troop, and were given a genuine intro- duction to Scouting. Under young Scout teachers they were divided into patrol groups, and then put through sessions of instruction and examination in knotting, com- pass reading, first aid and other Scout training subjects. A feature of the annual Boy Scout services in honour of St. George, the patron saint of Scout, hag, on April 23rd, will be a broad- cast address to Scouts throughout the Empire by the i)eptltsr Chief Scoot, Lord Somers, from London. The address will be heard in Can- ada by short-wave at 5.35 p,an,, E.S.T. A transcription will be heard at 10.05 p,tn,, E,S.T., April 24th. al flowers which are listed in any' seed catalogue.

SY ANNE ASHI EY Q. -How ran I make candles that are too large, fit the. candle- sticks? A. -It is an easy natter to make over -sized candles fit any candlestick. Merely dip the can- die for a minute "into - very hot -water. This softens the' wax and it can easily be pushed into the candlestick. Q. -How can I remove paint spots from a woollen garment? A. -Equal parts of turpentine and ammonia seldom fail to re- move paint spots from the wool- len garment, regardless of how old the stain may be. Q. -How can. I be certain that spinach is not overgrown, when marketing? • A. -When buying spinach, be sure that straight Peaves of a deep green are selected. If the leaves are curved it indicates that they are overgrown. Q. -What is a good kind of work -chair to keep in the kitchen? .A. -A chair with one wide aria, similar to those in many lunch rooms, is excellent for the kitchen. It is just the thing when peeling potatoes, stringing beans, and such tasks, or to use as a desk when writing. Q. -How ran I treat the tiny wrinkles that appear around the eyes? .A.. -Massage muscle oil gently into the skin around the eyes with the finger tips every night before retiring. Q. -How can I prevent the for- mation of icing, or turning back to sugar, when making syrup? A. -When the syrup is coming to a boil, add one-third teaspoon cream of tartar to every 2 cups of sugar used. Marie -the last-named, however, w' a very favorable rate in 1935.

Just step in here please, (Hand- ing him a small garment) Please strip and put these on." (The nurse retired immediately and the young man did as bid.) Doctor: (ten minutes later) "Well, what's wrong with you, my boy?" Young man (looking rather sheepish in his abbreviated gar- ment) : "Nothing, sir. I wonder- ed if you'd be interested in a twe- year subscription to the Family Journal. I'm working my way through college." Doctor; "Well, how is time Insoui,da, now?"
