Have You Heard Isn't It The Truth A boy, in the dock in a: Polish eriminal court was being tested as to his mental powers. The magistrate said to him: "How many States are there in Europe?" Immediately the boy's eounsel got up and, turning to the magis- trate, said: "Sir, my client hasn't yet had time to read the morning papers and .cannot, therefore, give a reliable; a�eply", Getting Ripe Now men have a reason Fqr joy and for laughter— The cherry pie season Corne4.:shortly hereafter. —0— The Motion Not the Ocean The two land lubbers were in a row -boat in the middle of the ocean. One handled the oars, rowing away for all he was worth. The second sat in the stern steer- ing the rowboat by means of a makeshift rudder. Suddenly, a passenger liner came into view. The man at the oars kept rowing frantically, paus- ing only when the liner crossed the path of the rowboat. Then he cupped his bands. "Hey there, on board!" he shouted. "Is this the Atlantic or the Pacific?" •A sailor aboard the big vessel gazed down at the rowboat. "This is the Pacific," he shout- ed back. The rudder -man waved his fist at the oarsman.. "You hear that, you dope!" he howled. "I told you not to row so fast!" —0— Growled a surly old farmer of Shoreham: "When people trespass, I ignore 'em. But my bull, who runs free, Has instructions from me To pursue the intruders and gore 'ern." —o— Comparisons A Communist, a Fascist and a British worker were in a boat which capsized, and they started swimming for the shore. The Com- munist, accustomed to shouting, forgot to close his mouth, swal- lowed a lot of water and sank. The Fascist swam for some time, but as he was keeping one arm outstretched in the customary po- sition he soon tired and he, too, disappeared. The British worker swam on. He 'was in sight of the shore when a whistle blew and he automatically necked off work. —0— Cure or Sleeplessness Lie as near the edge of the Iced as possible, and you may drop off.• Still estutiotis An Aberdonian, whilst bathing, got into difficulties and a lifebuoy was at last thrown in to him. He bad already been down twice and was about to sink for the third tame when he shouted to the on. lookers, "Is there any charge for the use ofthis?" 6,000 Norge Refrigerators Sold Nearly 6,000 Norge Electric Refrigerators are now being in- stalled by the New York City Housing Authority in the enor- mous Red Hook and Queensbridge Projects which are now under con- struction by the U.

HOW Can BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.—How can I quicken the task of preparing lemonade? A.—Dissolve the sugar in a lit- tle hot water before adding to the lemonade; it will sweeten quickly and will not sink to the bottom. A little seltzer in a glass of lem- onade improves it and is very re- freshing. Q. -How can I treat 'a severe case of sunburn? A.—Mix two parts of limewater to one part of linseed oil; beat this to the consistency of cream and apply. Q.—How can I clean a fountain pen? A.—Dip the pen in vinegar, and then rinse with lukewarm water. Q.—How can I treat hives? A.—Try taking a teaspoonful of milk of magnesia two or three times a day. Or, dissolve one teaspoonful cream of tartar in a half glass of water and take be- fore each meal. Q.—How can I prevent a thin skin floe forming on the top of custard while it is cooling? A.—This will not occur if a eloth or sheet of paper is placed over the top of the receptacle while the custard is cooling. Q.—How can I easily remove dog hair, fuzz, and lint from wool- len clothing? A.—Wet a rubber sponge, and squeeze almost dry, then rub over the clothing. Relieved to be the smallest in the world, a donkey belonging to a llristol, England, breeder is two feet six inches high and weighs only 'twenty pounds. Excellent Year For Hatcheries Poultrymen in Ontario Had Good Season The optimistic spirit of the an- nual nnual meeting of the Hatchery Ap- proval Association of Ontario in- dicated that poultrymen have had a good year. The report of T. JA. Benson—inspection in Western On- tario, alone proved it. The 120 ap- proved hatcheries in his territory, with an egg capacity of 2,836,090, turned out 6,390,000 chicks, an av- erage hatch of 66.5 per cent and an increase in numbers over last year of 10 per cent.

This new glass is so resistent to tem- perature change that the scientists in the research 'laboratories of the Corning Glass Works, where it was developed, were able to chill,a dish made of it by embedding 4t in a cake of ice and then fill the. with molten iron without a sign of a crack developing Its remark- able properties are due to the fact•. that it expands and. contracts, un- der heat and cold, only one-tenth as much as ordinary glass. GLAND LIVES OUTSIDE BODY Dr. Alexis Carrell reports in the Journal of Experimental Medicine,, the unique feat of keeping a hu-' man thyroid gland alive for 62 days outside the body. This was done with the Carrell Lindbergh' artificial heart, and with some new substitutes for human blood and serum, which are one step towards discovery of some artificial fluid which. will keep human organs al- ive indefinitely in glass containers. The purpose is to be able to study, them to reproduce exactly what happens to a man's organs in. health and in disease. Modern E tiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1.—When an affair is given in honor of a debutante, in her home, should she receive with her mo- ther? 2,—When invited to a dinner party in a restaurant or hotel, does one have the privilege of choosing his own meal? 3.—Should children be allowed to wear nail polish? 4,—Just how should a man lift a stiff hat when tipping it to a woman? 5.—When one is smoking at the table. in a public diningroom, and there is no ash tray, is it all right to use his plate or a saucer for his ashes? 6,—How should a woman write ter the her name of death of her husband? Answers: 1. Yes. She should join her friends until all guests have arrives ed, unless one or two are patties: larly Iate. Then she should be watchful and ready at all times to be introduced to tl. late guest, vin. orspeak to b e who is leaving. n g No; the host or hostess orders the meal in advance, and t guests eat what is placed before them, the same as at a dinner in s ineone's home, 3, No. Such in- dhcations of vanity at an early elle should be discouraged. d: the - 1 at should be taken by the brim, directly in front, lifted enough to escape the head slightly, then brought forward a few inches. b. It is much better to ask tie 8Valt* et or an ash tray. O.—The same as always, Mrs. Paul Wilson, sr Martha Brown Wilson, C WING Boy Scouts camps are in full swing in all parts of the Dominion. The total number of camps and of boys attending premises to set a new high record, The camping season for Wind- sor district was opened this year by a Saturday afternoon demon- stration camp set up by a Troop of 32 Scouts picked from different groups of the city for their know- ledge of good camping methods. A Wolf Cub camp and several types of Scout camp lay -outs were shown, with complete cooking and sanitary arrangements. The de- monstration was attended by a large number of local and outside Scouters. A practical rural good turn carried out by some 60 Windsor, Ont., Scouts Was the collection and burning of old cornstalks on an Essex County farm infested with the corn borer. The work was done under the guidance of 'the county agricultural represen- tative and a corn borer inspector. The Scouts mad 30 large. bon- fires- of the stalks, and incidental- ly used them for roasting hot dogs. One of the four members of the special bodyguard for Queen El- izabeth by the R.C.M.P. at Regina was formerly Scout James Gough lin of the 9th Winnipeg Troop. Be at one time held the Dominion amateur middleweight boxing championship. The playgrounds of the new Central Park at St. Thomas, Ont., are being supervised this summer by Rover Scouts.

Best Detectives Ordinary People Scotland Yard Finds Its Top Crime Experts Rise From. The Ranks After a comparatively short trial, Scotland Yard has abolished the experiment of getting young men from Rugby, Harrow, Chart- erhguse and other famous schools where the sons of wealthy people are prepared for the universities, and putting them on crime detec- tion.''They had high-powered care of their own, capable of speeds up to 100 miles an hour, and were turned on to manhunts whenever fast action was required. But al- though they proved themselves ex- pert drivers they were just that; as detectives they were no good. Experience has shown that the best detective is the man who has risen from the patrols. Nearly every Scotland Yard man was an ordinary policeman first of all. The most noted men the Yard ever had, nien like Wensley, Gough, Carling and many others who solved the worst crimes in modern annals, rose from the ranks. After all, in any occupation, there is no more reliable servant than the man who has been train- ed from the ground up and gone through the mill.
