Q. How can I soften and clean
leather?
A. Apply a mixture of one
part vinegar to two parts linseed
oil.
Q. How can I bleach white
clothes?
A. Try this idea. Save all your
egg shells for a week, and on
washday put them into a salt bag
and place in the boiler with the
white clothes. The lime contained
in the shells acts as a splendid
bleach, and the clothes will be
snowy white.
Q. How can I restore pearl
buttons to their original bright-
ness?
A. First rub the buttons with
a little olive oil to take away the
blurred appearance. Then sprinkle
with nail powder and rub well
with chamois skin.
Q. How can I clean balling
dishes and pans?
A. Soak the dishes and pans
in hot water to which washing
soda has been added. Use one
tablespoon of soda dor each quart
of water required to fill the ar-
• tide.
Q. How can I pull threads
from Iinen much more easily?
A. Before attempting to pull
the threads from linen, run a
damp cloth along the line where
the thread is to be pulled. It will
pull out much more easily while
the cloth is damp.

he or she doesn't seem to remem-

you say?
2. What phrase should be
lased if one does not wish to use
3. Is it correct to serve a
wedding "breakfast" if the cere-

4. Is it bad form to applaud
loudly in a theatre?
5. Where should the candles

6. Should a hostess always

being introduced to him?
Answers
1. Don't embarrass the per-
son by saying, "Why, I met you
at such and such a place." Mere-
ly say, "How do you do?" Nor
should you feel hurt or slighted
and accuse the person of being
a snob. It might just be forget-
fulness, something of which we
are all guilty at one time or an-
other, 2. If one prefers to use
English words, write "The favor
of a reply is requested." 3. Yes;
if the ceremony takes place be-
fore four o'clock the refresh-
ments are spoken of as a "wed-
ding breakfast." This is an Eng-
lish term used for any daytime
wedding feast. 4. Yes. Ap-
plause that is protracted or too
loud is in very bad taste. And
if you happen to be the only one
applauding, it is time to stop. 5.
This depends upon whether single
candlesticks or candelabra, are
used. An attractive decoration
is to place a single candlestiek
at each of the four corners ol the
centrepiece of flowers. 6. Yes;

Fall Field Trial
F r Ont rio Dogs
To Be Held At Niagara -On -
The -Lake on October 18 & 19
Owners of gun dogs who show
field promise will have an oppor-
tunity to get an independent ap-
praisal of their performance at the
annual Fall Field Trial of the On-
tario Bird Dog Association to be
held at Niagara -on -the -Lake on
Saturday and Sunday, October 18th
and 19th. Novice classes are
scheduled to be run on Saturday
morning for Setters and Pointers
and also for Spaniels. In past
years these novice trials have,
brought out some excellent "dark
horse" performers.
The programme for Saturday,
October 13th, includes three trials
for Setters and Pointers and three
trials for working spaniels. The
trials for Setters and Pointers in-
clude a Shooting Dog Stake, a Nov-
ice Stake and' an Open Derby, and
for spaniels a Puppy stake, for
puppies under two years, a Novice
Stake and an Open All Age Stake.
Setters and Pointers will con-
tend on October 19th, in an Open
All Age Stake and later in the On-
tario Championship Stake, restrict-
ed to Ontario -owned dogs.
The open stakes will, as usual,
have entries from the United
States.
Entry forms may be obtained
from George W. Boag, Woodstock,
Ont., secretary of the Association.
It is hoped, Mr. Boag says, that
owners of untried dogs ;will be well
represented in the novice events.
The novice trials are restricted to
novice dogs and novice handless
and it is these trials which pro-
mote the work of the association.
in fostering interest in gun dogs
and their training for field work.
Headquarters for the trials will
be at the Prince of Wales Hotel,
Niagara -on -the -Lake and roads sur-
rounding the town will be marked
to enable spectators to locate the
trial courses with ease.
Air Training Plan
Will Be Doubled
Air Minister Power disclosed
recently that the British Com-
monwealth Air Training Plan will
be extended until the number of
schools and airdromes already
constructed is almost doubled.
He said that:
1. An exclusively French-
Canadian squadron will be estab-
lished overseas under a French-
Canadian leader as soon as
enough French-speaking person-
nel are obtained,
2. Aviation offers young men
an "almost unlimited field of ac-
tivity" and after the war aviation
will make "undreamed-of strides
in our country."
3. Quebec will be called upon
to play a "highly important part"
in organization of air transport
of the future; already the prov-
ince is the terminal of trans-At-
lantic flights.
4. The few unfinished schools
previously planned for ' the air
training plan will be opened with-
in the next three weeks.
Men of lnerrie England, as
long ago as 1100, curled their
hair and went hatless so that
their coiffures might be seen and
admixed.

THE "SULFA" FAMILY
RAT• CURB
' Keeping rats away from stored
grain with a "skunky";,smell that
makes then afraid, is the feat
accomplished by two chemists,
Leonard A. Ford of .the Minns;
sota State Teachers' Gollegi atter,
Donald F. Clausen of' the Huh-
bard Milling Company, says The
Toronto Telegram. -
The two chemists were con-
fronted with the problem of
keeping rats away from stored
grain in sacks. They knew that
rats fear skunks and ferrets and
will leave the premises these
predatory animals inhabit.
They knew also the chemical
basis of the strong musky odor
of these two animals., It is a
compound called n -butyl mercap- •
tan. So they tried it out, first
on the food of caged white rats.
The rats refused the tesIsl.)--besse
came restless and excited, . and
even fought each other. They
would not touch the ,food until
the odor had disappeared.
Then a search was made for a
substance which would hold the
odor for the longest possible
time. Best out of a considerable
list proved to be honey, which
retained the scent up ;toeix
months, well in excess of the
time usually spent in storage by
grain and commercial feedstuffs.'
The only rats with noses so..
tough that they were not consist-
ently repelled by . the ,n -butyl
mercaptan were those ,on 'a city
dump. The experimnters corijec":4''
ture that these anhnels had: be-
come so used to the mercaptalie
produced by the natural fermen-
tation of garbage that the syn-
thetic scent had relatively .little
effect on them.

HAVE
YOU HEARD?
A Scotsman bought two tickets
for a golden ballot, in which the
first and only prize was a five -
hundred -pound car. When the
draw was made the Scot won the
car.
His friends rushed to his house
to congratulate him, They found
him with a long face and evident-
ly dissatisfied.
"Why, what's the natter?"
they inquired.
"Well, answered the new own-
er of the car, "it's that second
ticket that's troubling me. Why
I ever bought it I can't think."
The wife of a small farm-
er sold her surplus butter to
a grocer in a nearby town.
On one occasion the grocer
said, "Your butter was un-
derweight last week."
"Now, fancy that," said
Mrs. Farmer. "Baby mislaid
my weight that day, so I used
the pound of sugar you sold
me."
"Is this the speedometer?"
asked the pretty girl, tapping the
glass with her finger.
"Yes, dear," he replied.
"And that's the clutch?"
"That's the clutch, darling,"
he said, jamming on his brakes
to avoid a fast -approaching lorry.
"But what on earth is this?"
she inquired, at the same time
giving the accelerator a vigorous
push with her foot. .
-
"This, dear," he said, in a soft,
celestial voice, "is Heaven." And
picking up a harp he flew away.
The Irishman was relating
his adventures in the• jungle.
"Ammunition, food and
whisky had run out," he said,
"and we were parched with
thirst."
"But wasn't there any
water?"
"Sure, but it was no time
to be thinking of cleanli-
ness."
A keen angler took a friend
for a day's sport. The friend
knew nothing of fishing, but de-
cided to try his luck.
After a long silence by the
banks . of the stream, the novice
said: • "I say, how much do those
red things cost?"
"You mean the floats? Oh,
they're eheap. Why?"
"I owe you for one. Mine's
just sunk."
.Italians In Africa
i•
.,
eaten By Siege
One of the last pockets of Ital-
ian resistance in East Africa has
''been eliminated by the surrender
of'the 4,000 -man Fascist force at
Uolehefit, in the mountainous
Gondar region of Ethiopia.
The Italians acknowledged that
this force, under siege for 164
days, laid down its arms after
running out of food and supplies.
This surrender, the War Office
in England said, left only between
9,000 and 10,000 Italian and na-
tive troops resisting in the Gon-
dar region.

Chain Of Airports
In The Northland
The "Northwest Passage By Air"
along which will travel military
and civilian aircraft of all sizes,
speed and power, has been made
available by the Dominion Govern-
ment in a season of hard work.
A flying journey of more than
2,000 miles in British Columbia.,
the Yukon and Alberta showed that
the chain of airports built in the
northland to Alaska now is ready
for use, although not completed.
Radio range stations have been
installed at most of the fields and
all will be so equipped this year.
Airmen will be able to travel into
the Far North assisted by iervices
as complete as those on long-estab-
lished air lines. Newly -constructed
runways are already being used by
large machines, both Canadian and
American.
The fields were built by the
Transport Department under ar-
rangement with National Defence
Departments which had consulted
with United States authorities.
American airmen may travel this
route to Alaska defence outposts
free from the fog which often
hampers flying along the coast.
A modern transport machine can
leave New Yark and fly to White-
horse, Y. T., or Fairbanks, Alaska,
landing only on fields where run-
ways are good and of sufficient
length.
At present, the only inconven-
ience the pilot feels is that radio
range stations are not all com-
pleted.
Cost of the seven fields and
equipment was estimated at $5,-
000,000.
