in a state. I am married and rve
b3ved my wife dearly since we
;married nine years ago. We have
t w o children
we are both
crazy about.
But I am now
in love with
another wom -
an!
"She works
in the factory
of which I am
superintendent.
I have never asked her for a
date, and I cannot' explain the
sudden passion that has over-
taken me. I could not help tell-
ing her. She was shocked. She
says she has never given thought
to me and that she is not a home -
wrecker. She added that she re-
cently was offered another posi-
tion. and now she thinks she'll
take it. I ant sure I could win
her if 1 tried.
"I felt so guilty about all this,
that last night I told my wife.
She was badly hurt, but said if
I want my freedom I can have it.
... I ane hopelessly confused.
AN UNHAPPY MAN"
* Your selfish stupidity in tell-

only snatched by your egotism

" wanted her, and have convinc-
" ed yourself that she would be
" unable to resist your charms.
" Accept her resignation, and
" thank your stars that she, at
" least, is honest. You will get
" over wanting her. Once she is
'' out of your sight, your ento-
4' tions will quiet down and you

" her faith in you- She must be
" a heartsick woman today, as
* bereft as though you had actu-

* easily you could have spared
" her all this grief!
* Since your wife loves you
* enough to hand you over to

All Mixed Up!
In no country in the world
is there such a confusion of
weights and measures as in Brit-
ain. After much squabbling, the
British Standards Institution de-
cided in 1949 that the "teaspoon"
for kitchen use should be of blue
or green plastic, round in shape
and contain 100 minims or drops;
and that a teaspoon for medi-
cine should be red, oval in
shape and hold 60 minims. A
sWzxun tnria.�Y .._ ,c,144,441 ,-
But -some measures have not
reached this level of simplicity.
The stone Is a confusing weight.
On an ordinary avoirdupois
weighing -machine a stone equals
14 Ib.; for meat, 8 lb. make a
'stone; for cheese, 16 lb.; for
hay, 22 lb.; for wool, 24 Ib. The
ordinary ton is 2,240 ib.; the
short or American ton, 2,000
ib.; metric ton, 2,204.6 lb.; dis-
placement ton, 35 cubic feet;
freight ton, 40 cubic ft.; register
ton. 100 cubic ft.
If you wish to buy celery
wholesale you buy by the roll,
containing 8 heads if washed,
12 if dirty. Fish is sold by the
trunk, which varies from 10-14
ib.; or by the quintal (Arabic;
gintar. a weight of 100 lb.), or
by a large tub called a kit (from
Norwegian, kitte, meaning bin).
Carrots are sold by the bunch,
cucumbers by the flat, radishes
by the hand, apples and pota-
toes by the sieve (56 ib. in the
North, 52 lb. in the South), cloth
by the bolt, wool by the last,
and , glass by the seam. They
make the ordinary lean dizzy,
though those in the trades
seen perfectly happy about it.
Uncle Levi Zink says: Every-
body knows the old saying that
a foot and his money are soon
parted, a.nd now that it's hap-
pening to everybody. I hardly
know what to think.

Another week gone by and no

Saturday was a perfect day fol'

always wanted to see and never r
ti
have -until this year when I save
it on television. Television? Ohe
no. not our own set. 1 just hap-,
pened to visit one of the stores
down town at the right moment;
It was remarkably clear - no !'l
flickering at all. In fact I wasri
almost persuaded that television' I
might be all right after all. But
wasn't enthused to the point
wanting us to spend $400 on
set -although I am sure Partne
would enjoy watching the hocke
matches.

times I wonder why people e

nevetreatea as guests. An a
a means of getting out of work
this column provides me with a
wonderful alibi. For instance we
have. an extra couple staying
here until tomorrow so I quite
calmly announced that I had my
column to write and would they
call me when supper was ready !
They did.
We have been having quite a
time with cars just lately, The
visiting car developed starter
trouble. While it was in the
garage i wanted to go down town
with our car but the battery was
as flat as a deflated balloon. "Oh,
dear, there goes another $30," I
thought. (batteries for English
cars are dearer than others). But
I was 1vrong. It was just a matter
of corroded connections. I was so
relieved 1 felt then as if I had
been given $30 so I was really
much happier than I had been
before.
This afternoon we were driving
through a rather hilly part of the
county and it was heartbreaking
to notice how terribly dry the
fields looked. But one particular
field we passed was more heart-
breaking than all the rest. The
field was just one big hill. It had
been ploughed, and the plough-
ing was a straight up and down
job. If ever a field called for
contour ploughing that one did.
Sometime we are bound to get
some heavy rains and when they
come the rain will run down that
hill like water down a rainspout.
By contrast, when I was on the
train going to Ottawa last sum-
mer I noticed contour ploughing
in a field that was perfectly flat,
Now what was the reason for
that? I have often wondered.
There is plenty of arguing
going on around here these days.
Our visitor is a Guernsey man;
.partner favours grade Ayreshires
-the other Ivan pure-breds. So,
• various arguments are tossed
back and forth like shuttlecocks,
neither man giving in to th
other -as so often happens when
two. stubborn Englishmen get to-
gether. The same thing applies to
the woodpile. The men brought

particular was about thirty
inches in diameter and full of
lovely big knots. Our visitor said
he would split it during the clay.
Partner said, "I bet you don't !"
The would - be wood - splitter
waited until Partner had gone to
milk and then he took up the
challenge. He worked for over
an hour on that one cut, and all
the time it was a tussle between
the toughness of the knotted oak
and the will and strength of the
man. The man won out. When
Partner carne in he was treated
to a graphic description of the
contest. It brought forth many
scathing remarks but in the end
Partner grudgingly admitted -
"You are darn near as stubborn
as I am !"
Another argument concerned
rubber boots and a dead chicken.
Partner had killed a chicken and
hung it in the woodshed. Our
'visitor came in from the barn
and placed his boots under the
chicken, which was still drip-
ping from the beak. There was
no place for it to drip except
into the boots. Then followed the
argument -which was put there
first --the boots or the chicken?
Our visitor naturally insisted
that his boots were there first
and that Partner deliberately
hung the chicken strategically
above them.

THE CROWD jammed Washing-

1865, to watch Louis Fox and
John Deery vie with each other
for a billiards world champion-
ship - and $50,000.
For some time it was a ding-
dong battle; then Fox crept into
the lead. Deery was dejected
and downcast. His opponent
needed but one. point to win the
title and the cash prize.
Fox teed. up for the winning
shot. He held his cue poised
against the ball as a fly buzzed

That same evening Fox took his
life.
