"As soon as the cold weather
comes 1 have to stop playing bil-
liards," said Smith.
"How's that?" asked his friend. '
"Every time the three balls . get
together they remind me of my ov-
ercoat."
Customer (to head waiter):
"Just as a matter of curiosity
did the waiter who took my
order leave any family?"
"Darling, would you love me if
I had only one eye?"
"Why, no, dear. What a thing to
say i r,
"Very well, then. Let me carry
that umbrella."
"Last week my husband went
rabbit -hunting, and we've since
put up enough meat to last us
a year."
Neighbour — "He must be a
cracker shot — getting all
those rabbits."
"Oh, hubby didn't shoot any
rabbits. He hit a cow."
Customer — 'I want a ton of
Coal."
Dealer — "What size?"
Customer — "A 2,000 -pound ton,
if it's not asking too much."

RADIUM ARTIFICIALLY
PRODUCED
Jean Frederick Joliet -Curie and
his wife, Irene, daughter of the
late Marie Curie, who discovered
radium, have succeeded in artifi-
cially producing radium elements,
Thirty grams of rare radium
would be required to produce the
radium elements obtained by the
Joliot-Curies. This is a remarkable
achievement in view of the fact
that the world radium supply is
only 10 grams.

FEVER AND ARTHRITIS
Artificial fever — produced by
electricity—is pictured as a possi-
ble key to the successful treat-
ment of arthritis and asthma.
Such a fever, or temperature,
when raised to a point that might
result in death if produced by the
body itself, has been used with
some success in 133 cases of
chronic arthritis.

TO REACH THE MOON
There is no present possibility
of man visiting the moon, but it
would be rash to predict that such
a visit will remain unmade, Dr.
Peter M. Millman of the staff of
the Dunlap Observatory said last
week. But if it were possible for
man to visit the moon, he would
have to learn to walk all over
again.
"A space ship travelling 150
miles an hour would require 1,000
hours to reach the moon," he
said.

ELECTRIC BRAIN DOES
ARITHMETIC
A mathematical brain operated
by electrical waves that will
quickly solve equations has been
invented independently at the
University of Pennsylvania and at
the Radio Corporation of America
laboratories. When direct current
is used the electrical brain, will
solve equations having real roots,
and when alternating currents are
used it will solve the equations
when the roots are imaginary.

Q. "Would you advise a person
to top -dress fall wheat, and would
you dress it lightly or heavily? And
when we sowed it, we put 200 lbs.
of fertilizer on it. Would you advise
me to put straw or manure on the
strawberries, and would you put it
on lightly, or heavy?" — C. P., of
Bruce County.
A. Light dressing of strawy man-
ure would be a good protection for
fall wheat. I would not suggest a
heavy top -dressing in addition to
200 lbs. per acre of fertilizer. You
do not say what analysis was used,
but the protection I mentioned
should be beneficial.
Regarding the putting of straw or
strawy manure on strawberries, I
would say that it is the practice of
strawberry growers on light soils
to apply a fairly good application of
strawy manure in the Fall. This

ailable when the strawberries are
ready to grow in the Spring, and it
causes the snow to lodge as pro-
tection for the crop. When the
growers are not able to obtain a
strawy manure, they put on a good
covering of straw,.
Q. "A person tells me if I sow
fertilizer containing more than 2
per cent. lime that the lime will
counteract on the fertilizer, thereby
making it useless, while another
says I may use fertilizer contain-
ing 60 per cent. lime and still be
as good." Would you be good en-
ough to put me right on t11isr
D. -- Essex County.
A. Whether or not lime will react
on fertilizer and counteract the et
-
feet of the phosphates, will depend
upon the form of lime, the form of
materials used in the fertilizer, and
the length of time they are in con-
tact. If the lime should be air -slak-
ed burnt lime, it would be very ac.,
tive in reaction, or turning back
the soluble phosphate to the insol-
uble form. If the lime is natural
ground calcium carbonate lime-
stone, it will not act so quickly. If
the lime is largely magnesium car-
bonate or dolomitic limestone, the
reaction will be slowest. 2 per cent.
would be 40 lbs. in a ton. I believe
it is possible to use double or triple
this amount without much rever-
sion, providing the mixed materials
do not stand very long. 60 per cent.
or 1,200 lbs. per ton seems to me to
be an excessive amount of ground
limestone to put in a mixture.I
know that this has been clone in
certain cases where such concen-
trated material as ammo -phos (11-
48) used as a better business to
put in just enough lime to make up
a mixture to the half ton total
where ammo -phos and concentrated
potash are used, and reduce the
amounts applied per acre.
Fat Actually
Shortens Life
It has long been argued that
fat persons live shorter lives than
other people. Dr: Louis I. Dublin,
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co., decided to test this theory on
women. At a meeting of Life In-
surance Medical Directors in New
York, he cited statistics based on
121,248 women's policies and con-
cluded: "The extra weight carried
by these women eventually causes
premature breakdown of the cir-
culatory system."

"When I'm Ma;,fcrs,
"Well fellas, we've had a good day."
Everyone goes to Chapel that evening and Whitey
saunters along with the rest, curious as to the pro-
ceedings. When they all sing though, he clunks Mo
over the head, suggesting that he be quiet. Mo is
hurt. Suppose he does sing, off4key a little. A bit
later Whitey makes his first .real mistake when
he tries to help Tony, a crippled boy, move his chair.
'cony angrily refuses his aid.
"Whitey, gimme a piggy -back tomorrow?"
Resentful because he doesn't understand the code
of these boys who let a crippled guy alone ---which
is all that Tony wants—Whitey gives his attention
to the adoring little Pee -wee (Bobs Watson). Over
the washbasin, Pee -wee chatters to him and laughs
uproariously when Whitey tells him jokes. Whitey
is in a fine, good humor by now and marches into the
dormitory with assurance.
"Smart guys, huh? Just wait."
Most of the boys are in their beds already. There
is an emptjl cot between Tony's bed and Mo s. Rub-
bing his neck with his tbwel Whitey loudly de-
mands some lights. Nobody answers but every eye
in the room is fixed on. him. Flexing his muscles
Whitey climbs under the covers and immediately
crashes to the floor. There is loud laughter from
all of the boys wlio have plotted the ,joke.
"1'11 vote twice." "When Prat, Mayor--"
Whitey plans revenge. 'Learning that the boys
hold a semi-annual election among themselves for
Mayor, he decides that the next office -holder of this
"fat job" will be himself. He starts his campaign
and Pee -wee laughs joyously when he sees the carie -
attires that Whitey makes of the other candidates.
Brashly, Whitey tells Mo he will win in a walk.
