Q. klow can I make a good
Mending cement for use around the
borne?
A. A good cement for mending
almost anything around the 11o1ne
can be made by mixing 1 quart of,
wood ashes, i1 -cull of table salt,
and enough water to give proper
consistency, The dark appearance
at first will afterwards turn al-
rno,t white,
Q. How can I soften and whiten
the hands?
A. -Mit!: one ounce of glycerine,
three ounces of bay run?, tz-drain
oil bergamot, and apply. Or, rub
well: .at nigh' with olive oil and
wear sleeping gloves.
Q. How can I remove a musty
odor left in: a bottle or ,jar, after
the contents have been removed?
A. Tear a newspaper into small
pieces, stuff down into the, bottle
or jar, and this will absorb all the
odor if left there for a few days.
Q. How can I remove old wall
paper easily?
A. An excellent method for re-
inoving wall paper is to put a cup
of vinegar into a bucket of hot
water and wet the walls thoroughly
with this solution. The paper will
readily peel• off.
Q. How should violets be
planted.
A. Violets should be planted in
the open ground in a rich soil, pro-
tected from the sun's strong rays.
Tco notch sunlight produces all
leaves and no flowers.
Q. How can I prevent baked •
potatoes from bursting while cook-
ing?
A. Prick the potatoes with a
fork before baking them. This al-
lows the air to escape and prevents
their bursting.
Q. How can I prevent the for-
mation of icing when making
syrup?
A. When the syrub is coaling
to a boil, add 1/3 -teaspoon cream of
tartar to every 2 cups of sugar
used. This will prevent the. for-
mation of icing, or turning back to
sugar.
• Q. How can I clean ebony
brushes and mirrors that have be-
come dull in appearance?
A. Try robbing a little white
Vaseline jelly into them with a
soft cloth. Rub until the wood has
absorbed all the greases and taken
on a rich gleam.
Q. How can ' I boil a cracked
egg?
A. Wrap the egg in a piece of
waxed paper, the kind in •which
bread is purchased, the contents
of the egg will .not boil out while
boiling.
Q. How card I store blankets
stn that ri~hcy •vri1' n;�tl ' flOt? ..
A. Before storing the blankets,
see that they are thoroughly clean,
thea pack with moth balls and
newspapers, leaving no cracks for
moths to enter. If properly done
this is just as effective as moth-
proof bags
Off -flavour Butter
Blame the containers if cream
has a metallic taste. Better still,
blame the person who put the cream
into rusty •or improper Containers.
-C. A. Gibson, research officer in
dairying .with the Central Experi-
mental Farm at Ottawa calls atten-
tion to the reason for this metallic
flavour in cream which is imparted
to butter made from such cream. In
butter, the flavour is known as
;`tallowy" and the defect arises from
chemical changes in the butterfat
or associated substance&
Contamination of milk with metal
like iron, or copper will have simi-
lar results so, points out Mr. Gib-
son, keep whole milk away from
tinned copper equipment worn so
that the copper is exposed, or gal-
vanized iron pails. Cream cans with
rust spots should be strictly avoided
for shipping cream and should be
either retinned or used for some-
thing else. Don't use jam or honey
pails. Use only well -tinned, glass
or aluminum vessels for storage and
be sure the separator bows, discs
and spout are not worn.
Finally, keep dairy equipment
spotlessly clean so that acids will
not form and dissolve the metal,
particularly to protect the flavour
of butter.
But, "Man," What A Tarsol-Just "Man" is the title of this ultra-
modern exhibit on which painter Leonard Crickmore puts the
finishing touches at Southampton, Eng. The extraordinary man is
one of the "Secrets of Nature" on display aboard the Festival
Ship "Campania," a floating version of the Festival of Britain.
It will tour various ports in the British isles.
PORTby A SlY,51V-.�l '1.0
When Jackie Robinson, colored
star of the Brooklyn Dodgers, re-
cently laid down a bunt along the
first base and then "gave the hip"
to Pitcher Sal Maglie, who had
come over to field the ball, it
caused considerable comment
among baseball fans and writers.
Leo Durocher, manager of The
Giants, fumed that it was .a "bush
league trick." Jackie made a reply
to which even the Lippy one could
find no suitable comeback. "If that
was a bush-league -trick then Dur -
ocher must be a bush league man-
ager," said Robinson, '"because he
was the one wino taught sae how to
do it when he was- with Brook-
lyn."
* et *
Which was probably no more
than the trnth as Durocher is not-
orious for playing the game right
to the limit -and evert .a bit beyond,
and very likely imagines that
sportsmanship is a new kind of
speed boat. Even although we .call
ed The Giants to win the National
League this season, we couldn't
find much sympathy .with'in us for
their manager, at least, when they
went eleven straight games without
a win.
* * *
But to get back off this detour
to the plain Highway. What we
started out to say was that .the most
surprising thing .about the 'incident
referred to was anybody •even being
able to lay down a bunt. For be-
tween the rabb:t ball and the mod-
ern habit of playing for a whole
flock .of runs at a -crack, .the ancient
and highly interesting art of laying
them down is becoming just about
as bard to find as a two-bit full
course meal.
Present -clay scarcity .of bunting
was especially noticeable quite re-
cently when the Boston Braves and
the Brooklyn Dodgers staged a
16 -inning affair at Ebbets Field with
the home club finally squeezing out
a 2 to 1 victory (The "rabbit" must
have been out waiting for General
MacArthur or some such.) Time
after time, especially in the extra
innings, )Manager Billy Southworth
instructed players to bunt a runner
or runners into scoring position
only to see the pian in the batter's
box tap the pill so hard that the
A Princess Visits The Pope -Princess Elizabeth, extreme left, wear-
ing a floor -length black velour dress and a black veil of Spanish
lace, walks toward the Papal Chambers in Vatican City for an
audience with the pope. The Duke of Edinburgh follows the
Princess, while the Swiss Guards serve as an escort.
runner was forced, or miss it com-
pletely.
K sk
However, with the modern public
apparently demanding hone runs
a -plenty, and the moguls doing
everything but move the fences in-
side the infield to provide them,
we'renot liable to se any great
increase in bunting skill any time
in the near future -which seeps,
to this observer, something of a
pity. Still, we must move with the
times, even if some of the moves
seem to resemble those strategic
advances to a previously prepared
position in the rear we sometimes
read about on the front pages.
• The 16 -innings Braves -Dodgers
affair, although it probably seemed
long enough to the spectators, was
by no means a record for length in
contests between this pair of clubs.
In fact the two -of then. evidently
believe in giving the customers full
value when it comes to quantity.
In fact, as one observer puts it,
ever since the National League was
born, way back in 1876, Boston and
Brooklyn have had something of a
monopoly on marathon engage-
ments.

The longest game in major league
history took place ea.ly in the 1920
season -May 1st to be exact -going
twenty-six frames, and ending in
a 1 -all stalemate,
* * *
We suspect they must have been
getting tinge -and -a -half for overtime
in that era, or something of the
kind, because just three days later
the Braves beat the Dodgers 2 to
1 in a 19 -innings shortie.
* * 0
Skipping to the season of 1939
we filed the pair at it again -a 2 -all
tie which lasted 2.3 innings. But
this was merely an appetizer for
the meals they were to set before
the fans the following year. For
on July 5, 1940, the Dodgers and
Braves set a brand-new record. It
is true that the game in question
went only a mere 20 innings before
Brooklyn won out, 6 to 2, but the
elapsed time of that game was five
hours and nineteen minutes -believe
it or note
* * *
Now, to finish up, a new ---at least
to us -tale about the famous Lefty
Gomez, as told by Bill Dickey not
so long ago. It was a tight game,
with Dickey catching, Gomez pitch-
ing, and in a highly critical situation
up to the plate strode Jimmy Foxx.

Dickey squatted down in the
catcher's box, and signalled for a
curve. Gomez shook- his head. Bill
signalled for a fast one, and again
Lefty shook him off. The same
thing happened two or three times
more.
*
"Finally I walked out to the
mound," says Dickey. "I said to
Gomez, 'I've signed for everything
you can pitch .and a few that you
can't and still you're not satisfied,
Just • what do you want?'"

Really Comforting
Our morale was given an enor-
mous boost by a description to the
American Chemical Society, of a
device for supplying arid coastal
areas with fresh water. The gadget
essentially is nothing more than a
big evaporating pan filled with sea
water and covered with a glass top.
The sun heats through the glass,
heating and evaporating the water.
Wind and air keep the glass top
enol, so that the vapour condenses
and runs off through gutters into
a tank as distilled water. And that's
all there is to it, other than the
engineering problem of making the
process sufficiently efficient to jus-
tify the cost of constructing the
device.
Simple, to the point and entirely
understandable even in our advanc-
ed state of physical ignorance. And
it conies just at a time when we
were undergoing the shatttering
experience of hearing high school
boys discourse learnedly of scien-
tific matters in words which might
just as well be Sanskrit for all we
can make of them. -
It's comforting to know that
some things are still getting done
without benefit of meson or
Planck's constant. -St. Louis Post -

ing before driving are putting the
