"Of the making of many opinion
polls," Solomon might have said if
he had lived a couple of thousand
years later, "there is no end." And
although the pollsters got a severe
black eye when they iris -guessed
the result of the last Presidential
election by as far as a strong boy
can throw a rock, they seem to
have done a"comeback. At all events,
they're still carrying on
The results of the latest of these
polls that I've come across are
rather interesting to farm folks,
and especially to farm women.
We've all dreamed of what we
would cto first if we came into even
a modest sum of money unexpected-
ly; and the question put to hundreds
of representative farm women was
based on the following case. Some
two years„ ago a farmer's wife had
the chance of either taking a trip to
Europe or doing a remodelling job
on her kitchen.
The European tour, she figured,
would be interesting and education-
al. On the other hand, a remodelled
Intchen would be enjoyed by the
' -wrhole fancily, So the money went
into the kitchen.
So the question was: if you had
the money, which would you rather
have, a model kitchen, a trip to
!Europe, a car of your own, or a
vacation with your family. And 40
per cent of all the women inter-
viewed said they would choose the
modern kitchen.
The younger women (those in
the age group from 20 to 34 years)
had the highest percentage for this
choice. Forty-seven per cent said
they would rather have a modern
kitchen. Only 22 per cent of the
older women indicated this choice,
But of all the women interviewed
54 per cent of those who lived
an rented farms put the modern
kitchen as their first choice.
While it was the younger woni-
v.n who lived on rented farms who
wanted modern kitchens, it was
the older women and those who
lived on their own farms who
-would choose the trip to Europe,
* * r,
Nine per cent of all the women
.said they would choose a Euro -
pearl tour, ,
When the figures were broken
clown into age groups, they found
that 17 per cent of the women over
50 chose the trip. Though one of the
younger farm women said rather
wistfully, "I would enjoy a trip
iso Europe. It would be nice now
acid give me something to think
about when I'm. old."
* * *
Only 5 pcx cent of the younger
vromen would choose a trip to
Europe.
"It would be wonderful to Ila;(,. a
car any time I want it," said an-
other woman. And she expressed
the choice of 9 per cent of the farni
, woraetl interviewed. '

Eleven per cent of the younger
women would like to have a car
of their own. Seven per cent of
the middle-aged group and 5 per
cent of the older women indicated
the same choice.
"With a whole family bickering
over the car, I think I'd like to have
a car of my own, even if it were
only a jalopy," said one of those
interviewed. Then she added, rue-
fully,' "At that, I'll bet somebody
else would be driving it every time
I wanted it," * *
A vacation with the whole family
when the children are little and a
vacation with the family when they
are older are two different things.
* * *
Thirty-three per cent of all the
women interviewed wanted a vaca-
tion with their families. Twenty-
nine per cent of the younger women,
34 per cent of the middle-aged
group and 39 per cent of the older
women made the same choice_
But one of the younger women,
the mother of four small children,
said: "I'm not, kidding myself that
a trip with this children is a vaca-
tion. It's a change* of scenery."
Another woman in the same age
group said: "If I had the money for
a vacation, it would be a vacation
just to get away from the family
for a little while."
BULL—NOT STAG PARTY
Three hundred persons turned up
at a swank party in a tent in
England recently to toast the guest
of honour—a bull.
It was the 11th birthday of
Vern Robert, one of the finest
Herefords ever bred.
Eleven candles burned on his
birthday cake—made from cattle
cake, flaked maize and bran—with
"Many Happy Returns" in reel her -
ries.

One of the gags with which they
used to wow the custo>ners back
in the palmy clays of vaudeville was
when the comic of a two-man team
would seriously declare that his fav-
orite food was hash -- because he
always knew what he was eating.
His'straight'
partner, would hulig-
nantly demand "How in blazes do
you know what you're eating?"
whereupon the comic would reply,
"I know I'm eating hash!" Yale —
Yak — Yak,
Which will serve as notice that if
this column turns out to. resemble
bash,' or a reasonable facsimile,
'please don't complain that you
•n aren't n•arne(1.
Anyway, about the most pithy
comment we have heard regarding
current conditions came from a fri-
end of ours the other day. He had
just been reading a newspaper story
which stated that, because of war
preparations, the price of ale, beer,
ice cream sodas, soft drinks, gin,
milk, whiskey and a few other as-
sorted potables were likely to show
an increase in price,
"That guy Kipling surely knew
what he was talking about" said our
friend, "when he wrote `When it
conies to slaughter, you will do
your work on WATER,' "
Just in passing, we fear that the
esteemed Toronto Globe and Mail
Sports Department must be slip-
ping. The September niorn follow-
ing the initial practice of the MA-
PLE LEAF HOCKEY TEAM
the Sports Page mentioned the
name of Conny Smythe a mere nine
times — this being, as any close
follower of the sport can tell you,
much below par for the course.
In the same connection, we might
say that if the Maple Leaf Hockey
Club's ballyhoo department doesn't
shortly dig tip a new publicity stunt
to replace the one about Turk Bro-
da's excess poundage, we dread:the
consequences among the reading
public. We are second to none
in our admiration for Mr. Broda's
twine - guarding abilities — but as
a permanent replacement for Miss
America, Gipsy Rose Lee, Sally
Rand or any of the other strippers,
Turk just doesn't have it.

Arthur Daley tells a story, which
you may have heard before but
we hadn't, about Willie (Puddin-
head) Jones, third base guardian
for the Philadelphia Phillies. This
was when Willie — as well .as Man-
ager Eddie Sawyer — were laboring
in the Toronto baseball vineyard,
Jones had slumped very badly in
his hitting and although he never
said anything about what Was wor-
rying him, Sawyer instinctively
knew and summoned Willie to his
office. "Willie," lie said, "I've been
doing some thinking. I know your
wife is expecting a baby, so I was
wondering if you'd like to have her
here in.Toronto — at the ball club's
expense?„
*
Mrs. Jones arrived and her care-
free husband began knocking the
leather off the ball in old - time
fashion. But just before the infant
was due he shipped his wife back to
clear old Carolina, "It's thisaway,
Skipper," Puddinhead explained
things to Sawyer, "I want to have
my son born back home, so that
some day, he'll be eligible to be-
come President of the United Sta-
tes."
K � *
Well, if we were making book,
we wouldn't want to be laying too
much money against the possibility
of Jones, Junior, someday doing
that very thing, We don't know ex-
actly what the actual odds are aga-
inst any United States youngster
Goose Still Honks --When Thomas Bowes bougl.lt an estate
recently, he received an unexepected dividend: a. 1918 "Wills -St,
Clair `Grey Goose" roadster. Shown with bis wife and two
sons, Bowes pumped tip the car's tires, boosted the battery and,
without bothering to change the attto's original gasoline and
oil, stepped on the starter. With a honk of delight, the ""Grey
Goose' rolled out of the garage for the first time in 22 year,,,

eventually becoming President, Fif-
ty million to one, or even more,
probably.
Still, great as they are, those odds
can't be any bigger than they were
—when Willie Jones made that re-
mark —
ni against Pudciinliead, play-
ing for the once - Phutile Phils, be-
ing eligible for a World Series cut
within the short space of two years
and a couple of months, For the
Phils, since the turn of the century,
have finished in the National Lea-
gue Cellar exactly seventeen times,
They finished in the seventh slob
on ten occasions. And, up to the
start of this season, their record was
a proud 4,325 losses as against 3,-
202 wins.
So it looks as if anything—posi-
tively anything — could happen in
baseSall. And in politics too --for
Anthony Eden is just reported as
recently saying that if he were in
the British Fo,,eign Office, he thinks
lie could "male a satisfactory deal
with Stalin." Maybe' Mr. Eden
would even turn his back while
Uncle Joe shuffled the cards!
Virgil Dreamed Of
Sugar From Trees,
That a sweet syrup would em-
erge from forest trees was part of
Virgil's stream of the Golden Age,
At that. time (around 40 B.C.)
honey of wild bees was the chief
means of sweetening and was pro-
bably the first sugar food used by
mein. The care and cultivation of
bees for their honey has been
known at least for three thousand
years. With the ancients it was
almost their sole source of sugar... .
The first historic mention of sugar
is found in China in the eighth cen-
tury B.C., where it is spoken of as
a product of India. The sugar cane
was native in Bengal and cultivated
tIiere. After the fifth century B.C.
It was introduced to the Euphrates
valley and to -China. Fellow travel-
lers of Alexander the Great who
invaded India in the fourth century
B.C. in search of glory and loot,
brought back tales of a reed that
produced honey without the aid of
bees. "Honey cane" it was called
originally, and Herodotus spoke of
sugar as "manufactured honey" .
The Greeks and Romans called it
"sweet salt," "Indian salt," "sweet
gravel." In the Bible (Jeremiah
6:20) is mentioned a "sweet cane
from a far country."
Crystallized sugar was in evid-
ence about 1,300 years after the
first historical mention of sugar.
The Arabs and Egyptians were the
pioneers in crystallizing, In India
at the end of the thirteenth century
we first hear of evaporating the
cane juice, ,dissolving the residue
in water, and clarifying this solu-
tion with milk. They then solidified
their sugar into cakes or crystal-
lized it into candy. W. W. Sweats,
in tracing the history of sugar, says:
"It long continued to be regarded
as a rare and costly spice and it
remained so up to the time of the
discovery of America at the end of
the fifteenth century.
In the oldest books on arboreal
lore, maples were mentioned as
rarities in Europe, and there was
no reference to their sugar -yielding
sap. The "mapel-treow" was so
spelled by Chaucer in the fourteenth
century, and it is variously referred
to from then on in Middle English
literature as the niayple, the niapell
and the inapole, In 1588 Jean Lie-
bault, the French naturalist, wrote
,of "balmes and oyles" distilled from
trees, but never a word on maple.
John Geracle, author of The Her -
ball or General Historie of Plantes,
writes: "The great Maple is a
stranger in England, only it grow-
eth in the walker and Maces of
pleasure of noble men, where it es-
pecially is planted for the shadowe
sake." In The Whole Art and Trade
of Husbandry, Barnabe Googe
speaks of the "juyce" and the
"sappe" of many trees, but not of
the maple, Closer to our own day,
Charles Sprague Sargent writes of
the maple in Europe: "The Sugar
Maple, like the Plickories, the White
Oaks and other upland trees of
eastern America, does not flourish
in the Old World ,and really fine
specimens, if the exist at all in
Europe, are extremely rare, al-
though 150 years have passed since
it was introduced, and at different
times considerable attention has
been given to its cultivation."
Maple sugar and 'syrup are ap-
parently, then, a specialized North
American product.—Froin "'The
