DASHING LOVER "Dearest Betty," wrote Frank, who was hopelessly in love, "I would swim the mighty ocean for one glance from your dear eyes. I would walk through a wall of flame for one touch of your tiny hands. I would leap the widest stream in the world for a word from your lovely lips. As always, your Frank.

Sister Of The Jeep—The new "Aero Wing" is the first passenger sedan model to be built by Willys- Overland Motors since 1942 when the company went into all-out production of Jeeps. The new two- door has a six -cylinder, 9'0 -horsepower motor, and is expected to deliver 35 miles to the gallon. 9c aC fOA. NOd .FIRM 111h0 FRANK (Sixbits) HARRIS ** Upside-down to prevent peeking. Wrestler Tried To Cheat Gallows There are more ways of killing a cat than by choking it with but- ter. And there are ways of saving a man from hanging other than by a last-minute, reprieve. At least, so thought "Farmer" Borns, who was a circus strong- man performer; one-time heavy- weight wrestling champion of the world, and the discoverer of Frank, Gotch ?'itrho-beat the'faiii'eotis "Gecit- ges Hackenschmidt in the most dis- puted mat battle of all time. Martin Burns was a farmer's boy when he first broke into fame. Sent into town to sell some pigs, he was attracted to a visiting fair, chief item of which was a wrestling booth. The proprietor was offer- ing five; dollars to anyone who could gain a fall from his pet grap- pier. Acclaimed Champion: Burns went on the neat in the blue overalls. -that bespoke his cal- ling. He won the match, collected his money and earned from the crowd the name of "Farmer" 'Burns. ;,ser After that he decided it was eas- ier to gain a living on the mat than down on the farm He took to pro- fessional wrestling and in time was acclaiined world's champion by reason of a victory over the original "Strangler" Lewis. Burns' toured the United States, wrestling all comers with great Suc- cess. In the course of his travels he came across Frank Gotch, taught . the tough German all he. knew, and eventually developed him into a champion. The "Farmer" was no physical giant, but used his natural strength scientifically and 'practised physical ,Ready To Ski-paddle--Dagmar Rom, Austrianladies' slalom and giant slalom world skiing champion, tries her skill on a ski -bob at Zugspite, Germany, during the opening of the German .winter sports season. Miss Rom, a member of the Austrian Olympics winter sports team, -egarded the ski -bob rate as a welcome break i'► her hard pre -Olympic training an Germany's highest mountain. The ski -bob is a combination of bicycle and skin' culture with fanatic zeal. He made a particular study of muscle -control, and one of his favourite tricks •of showmanship was to. allow himself to be suspended by the• neck' for five minutes. • He would have a scaffold built, stand on a box beneath it and have a running noose put around his neck. Then they would kick the box away and leave him dangling in mid-air for the advertised'tinie. When they let him doyen he .would perform a front and back_sanier- sautf to~ prove iree 'quite all right. This speciality eventually caused Burns to figure prominently in a dramatic story. In Chicago a certain bar room habitue named Painter was accused. of killing a woman. Although George• Siler, a wrestling referee, came forward and: testified, that the prisoner 'was in his company at the time when the murder was com- witted, Painter was found guilty and sentenced to death by hang- ing. There were the usual appeals, all of which failed to secure a reprieve, ' Finally, all hope of saving. the doomed man was abandoned. Siler, who honestly believed in Painter's innocence, chanced` to meet Farmer Burns one evening. The wrestler lent a sympathetic ear, discovered that the execution was fixed for 'three months hence, and asked to be taken to see the prison- er. This was arranged, and llirns strengthening exercises such as he used himself when training for his famous "hanging" performance. He had the idea that if they strung the convicted elan up three times with- out being able to break his peek, he would 'be acquitted without fur- ther attempt. Painter was well. acquainted %:ith the renowned hanging stunt. Gips - ping at the last straw to save his life, he practised daily in his cell the "wrestlers' bridge" and other special exercises for the toughen- ing of the neck muscles.He became so enthusiastic that before long he was confident that • he could not be hanged, 110 matter how often they tried. Burns left town before the date of the execution. Returning a month later, Le sought out George Siler and asked if Painter had been hanged. "Oh, yes -- hut they had to have three tries," explained Siler, wish- ing to let the Farmer know that his efforts at life-saving had not en- tirely been wasted. "They broke two ropes on hint and finally hang. ed him with a third," "Well, then," countered the wrestler philosophically, "it just' goes to show that if you try some- thing often enough, you're bound to do it in the ,end."

For we suspect that happiness is made in the home. And we are right. At a deeper level the family is a workshop for the art of making love. But this is not the end. The home' is but a prepara- tion for family life with God. God does not live alone, afar off, in majesty and solemn grand- eur. It is common experience among us that one who enjoys power and, authority, is left to live alone. This is not• true of Gott Neither is He alone nor does He wish' to remain • apart from us. For the -life of God' is a family life, the life of the Di- vine Fancily of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. ` Never 'before the coming of Christ did anyone guess the -.na- ture of God's life. Throughout the many.' wise men came to the con- clusion that somehow God must have companions. Thus we• find the story of triads—companioais of . God—described in the literature of the East. But these companions of His were always of lesser dignity. There still' remained the cold solemnness of God. We, men and women everywhere, consider loneliness a form of suf- fering. It is a sign of anincom- plete life. But the life of God is perfect, complete. The keyto hap- piness, therefore, lies in studying the Divine Family life of God.' The human family must be patterned af- ter the original family if it is to lead to happiness. Its fa.nal happi- ness will be found when it be- comes a part of Divine Family life. And thus is the happiness of man completed in the family life of God. This is one of a series of messages by Father V. Mceivney, Parish Priest, St. Francis Parish, Pickering, Ont. Yeast— The Food Of Many' Uses As world supplies of meat and eggs diminish, scientists are seeking more ways in which Yeast can be used to save loader-nourisbed mil- lions. Yeast goes into bread and beer, and without it these two iteins could not be made. The tiny micro-or- ganisms of which yeast, is built up act like Miniature factories. Tl'ley take in sugar at one end and deliver alcohol and gas at the other. In the case of beer the alcohol is absorbed by the "wort" (the liquor produced by steeping barley in water)if and the gas forms the "head" or froth. With bread only the gas is used. This makes tiny holes in the dough so that it comes from the oven soft and spongy. The alcohol evaporates with the heat of the oven, But yeast can do much better things that make possible the baking ' of bread and the, brewing of beer. It contains a high percentage of protein, that necessity for growth which modern science has found to be so lacking in notch foodstuff, Protein is a complex compound containing car bo n, hydrogen, oxygen; and nitrogen, with a tittle sulphur, It builds muscle and tissue. Without' it the }Ionian body would waste away. Soule yeasts .contain 50 per cent of protein,' compared With 26 per cent in cheese, and. 17 pet• cent in beef: Yeast i$ also one of the richest • knowi] sources of vital "13" group of vitamins which combat disease.

The people were now settled in the promised Iand, All the tribes` were gathered to S'he.chem• The elders,' heads, judges and officers presented themselves before, God. Joshua briefly reviewed God's leadership of the people from the days of Abraham. Then he made the great appeal of the memory selection. Would , they revert to pagan worship, the gods of Abra- ham's homeland or those of the Armorites, some of whom still dwelt in the borders of the land? In a powerful plea, Joshua exclaim- ed, "As for me and my house, we ' will serve the Lord." Example exerts great influence. The people • responded, "God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, • to serve other gods. "They pledged to serve the LORD also. Everyone must make this choice. We are all. serving; either Jesus .Christ or Satan, Happy is the man. who has made Joshua's choice. •' "The service of 'Jesus true pleasure affords, - In Him there' Is joy without an alloy; Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on His words, 7.t pays to serve Jesus each day?" tIIEDIOAL GOOD ADViCEi Every sufferer of Rtteud matl5 Rains or Neuritis should try Dixon's Remedy, MUNRO'S DRUG.
