BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I clean white felt hats? A. Rub into their surface a mixture of one quart of cornmeal, one cup of salt, and one cusp of flour. Allow this to remain on the hats overnight, and then brush off. Q. How can I cause eggs to hold together much better when poaching them? A. A teaspoon of vinegar put into the boiling water will cause the eggs to ]sold together much better. Q. How can I eliminate the annoyance of perspiring hands when playing tennis? A. Rub some magnesium car- bonate into the palms of the hands, and it will result in a better grip. Q. How can I remove egg stains from linens? A. Before washing, soak the stains in cold water, as hot water will only set the stains. Common table salt, if rubbed on immedi- ately, will sometimes remove an egg stain. Q. What can I do if the seams of a garment are shiny after iron- ing? A. Touch therm lightly with a piece of cheesecloth wrung out of tepid water. was no good ---I simply couldn't get to sleep," said the clothing manufacturer to ilia partner. "I told you," the latter replied, "it was no good unless you Count- ed up to a thousand." "I counted ten thousand," said Oe manufacturer. "I sheared thele, combed the wool, had it spun into cloth and made' into suits, took 'em to market and lost 1200. I didn't get wink of sleep." -- Joao had been naughty nearly all ritsy, When her another was putting her to bed she said: "When you say your prayers, Joan, ark to be made a good girl tomorrow." With an inquiring glance Joan asked: "Why? What's an tomorrow?'' Forced to put on his brakes' suddenly, the driver of the sports oar found it *hooting crabwise across the road, just missing a lamp -post before it stopped. Up strolled a policeman. "Well," he remarked genially, "you got a nice skid there, Sir." "Pardon me, officer," was the haughty reply; "t:hia lady is my wife." 3,000 -Volt Shock - Didu.'t Kill Man \rlrasio Rodrigue, 50, construc- tion foreman for the Shawinigan Water and Power Company at St. Evariste de Beauce, Que., was brought to hospital in a critical condition, unconscious and half paralayzed after receiving a 30,- 000 -volt shock. Witnesses said Rodrigue was standing on a' truck i-unning- board when a high tension cable fell across the vehicle. One hand and one foot were charred and one side of his body paralyzed. All the metal and glass on his body at the time, in- cluding a wrist watch and spec- tacles, were melted by the con- tact. .-o-re-0-0-ar *see s ( Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1.

Jackie, aged six, was trying to drive a nail into the wall, but he least the head of the nail against the wood and was hammering the point. At length he threw down the nail in disgust and said, "They gave nee a nail with the head at the wrong end." Sister Josephine, age seven, who had been watching him, be- gan to laugh, and, pointing to the opposite wall, said, "No wonder the nail doesn't go through. Can't you see that it was made tor the other side of the room?" The minister was asking ono of his flock why he had not ettencled chttl'ch recent "Well, you tee, sir," said man "I've been troubled h, a bunion on my hoot." "Strange," said the parson, "that a bunion should impede the pilgrim's progress."

The most coveted prize offered was that for the special class sponsored by the Salads Tea Company and open to all horse plowmen in Jointer Plow sod classes, who had qualified at branch matches -a six weeks' motor trip to the west coast and back. It is a coincidence that the trip, along with the gold and silver medals for first and second prises in this class, was won by two neighbour plowmen, John Lister (left) and Harold Picket (right) both of Hornby, Ontario. Their journey was planned under the guiding hand of J'. A. Carroll, manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, and will take them to areas of agricultural interest in the United States and Canada from Toronto toVancouver. Gordon McGavin (centre), another well-known plowman, of Walton, will accompany the winners PS guide, compaanion and manager. The trip shouldprove intensely interesting and of great educational value to these three lucky plowmen. Discovers Savages 'Jungle Gentlemen' Noted Sculptress Says They Can Outdo White People in Courtesy kinei'ican and European gentle - preen eould take a few tips from l OM:sten and head-hunters in the matter of courtesy and politeness, Ma,lvina Hoffman, the noted doing - trees, believeaa. Miss Hoffman, who baa spent more than Live years travelling about the world, using many dif- ferent people for her nzotlels, made these observations in a recent ad- dress at the University of Pitts- burgh. HEADHUNTERS VERY POLITE "When people hear I have been in islands inhabited by bead -hunt- ers and in jungles where cannibals live, they're awe-stricken at nay courage," the sculptress said. "I hastily assure them that fewer people were more courteous than the so-called sava.gese" Miss Hoffman said ebe found headhunters "most interested" and very helpful in hew work. In 1930 she was commissioned by the Field Museum of Chicago to travel over the world and make models of dif- ferent races. For five years the visited various countries, bribing natives to pose while she m'enided their likenesses. Will Divert More Water Further extensive diversions of water at Niagara Falls so that all idle power -producing machinery on both sides of the Niagara Riv- err may be put into operation ie being considered by the Canadian and United States governments. If such a step is decided upon it will likely be carried out on authority of en exchange of' notes between the two governments as was the procedure followed when an additional 6,000 cubic feet per second was allotted to Canada last autumn on the understanding that Canada would put compensating water into the Great' Lakes Sys- tem by the Ogoki diversion of waters then flowing into James Bay. TO AFFECT SCif,NiC BEAUTY? "The demand for ,more power is so pressing in the war effort It seems likely that further diver- sions at Niagara Falls will be al- lowed," a government' official said. "Fortunately for such a st p we are in a wet cycle and With the big reserves of water in the up- per lakes it would be possible to take the water required to set all the machines along Niagara mov- ing without affecting the scenic beauty of the Falls for a year at (east." 124th Burglary A 33 -year-old Negro was ar- rested on 123 charges of burglary. After he had pleaded guilty to 79 of them, he was taken to his home for a change of clothes. He found that his clothes, shoes, sil- verware, and four dollars had been taken -by burglars.

This difficulty may he avoided, however, by going over the surface with one of sev- eral washes which should be mix- ed and kept in a glass or earth- en vessel and applied with a brush. SOLUTIONS SUGGESTED Any of the following are rec- ommended: (1) vinegar or weak acetic acid; (2) one part com- mercial hydrochloric, or muriatic acid, with four parts of water; (3) 12 ounces of copper chloride, 12 ounces copper nitrate, 12 ounces salammoniac, 4% gallons water and 12 ounces hydrochloric acid. Mix in order given; (4) a weak solution of ammonia, five to six ounces copper acetate, one gallon water. • When the chosen solution has dried, wash the surface with water, let it dry thoroughly, then apply the desired coating. 4.4.41 4.4..-941P,w.w, .,,-ww. 4.,4,.*4 W..•» Wil Science h Doing POISON•iVY TREATMENTS ivy ante sumac poisoning, say's a ilianely announcement by the that- ed letted States Public Health: Service, may be effectively treated with tannic acid, The service's tests *bowed that a 10 per Cent 'solution in water, applied after tihe affect- ed area had been cleansed with a1 Cobol, was helpful, but application by a pbyeioian tag urged. Equally In- teresting, with arrival of the out- door season, is the report from the ti&.Tne source that a cream contain- ing 10 per cent of *odium perbor- ate, rubbed on the ekin, is effective in preventing the poisoning through its oxidizing action. The cream coating suet be renewed eveey four boors. EXERCISE AND PARALYSIS Violent exercise just before symp- WM'S of infantile paralysis develop may aggravate a relatively harm- less attack into one which produc- es paralysis, according to a report to the U. 8. National Foundation foe Infantile Paralysis by Dr. .hl- bert Sabin, of Cincinnati. Dr. Sa- bi-n's researches Indicate also that the virus enters the body not through the interior nasal surfaces but through the digestive system, and is there absorbed, eventually reaching the nerve centres. This may explain why protection of the nasal eurtfaoes has not been effec- tive in preventing the disease. Flatter -Heeled Shoes Popular Flatter -heeled shoes, worn at all kinds of events plus the out- door scenes, at which they are ex- pected to be seen, are unquestion- ably on the increase this season. This observation began with Eas- ter day parades in New York and other large cities, when town shoes, keyed to regulation spring town clothes, were seen in im- pressive numbers, and with flat- ter heels. Practically everybody wears the very flat -heeled moc- casin shoes for country wear, and for town more and more are wear- ing "dress shoes" with flat heels.
