The return of a ringne delightful days reminds us engin of our 'Spring Housecleaning' !di i es. It is 'practical patriotism to ;clp:.a• thorough job of keeping every- thing we have in good condition—not only the cleaner., maps, brushes,: met- tal utensils, polishing cloths" etc. Let's do everything we cap to mane them last longer because many. ma- terials used by war industries will not be available in future for ,our civilian aeeds.•.''So plan your day's work and cheerfully 'carry on.' 3 3 Keeping the house clean is only part of -the homemaker's responsibil- ity—there are also nourishing meals to be planned for the family because our health w4s of paramount import- ance these trying days. Canada's • homemakers are to be congratulated upon their untiring efforts to do their share—keep it up and well win through. (4) Be sure to pick up small sharp ob- jects (e.g., pins) before using the cleaner, as they may puncture ' the dust bag; (5) Empty dust bag atter each use; turn inside out and "'rust, (four times a year). Do not wash. (6) Remove all threads from brush cleaner; (7) Wind the cord loosely to avoid damaging the fine wires inside; (8) Replace worn belt, brush, o.E cord immediately; (9) Dust`fl otor housing and attachments; (10) Follow manu- facturer's directions for lubrication. Brooms: (1) Sweep evenly in one direction only, overlapping each stroke; do not raise broom at end of each stroke to 'raise dust; (2) Dust off and hang broom up after use; (3) Fibre brooms should be washed once a week in clear warm, water. Hang up to dry. Scrub Brushes: (1) Wash in soap- su41s' until bristles are clean; rinse, and let dry in air with bristles down —after each use. Dust Cloths: (1) Soiled cloths are washed in soapsuds, rinsed in warm water and when dry are treated with oil solution and stored in a, closed container. Treated Dusters; Mix one- quarter cup lemon oil and 2 cups hot water and sprinkle on cloth. Roll up tightly. Dust Mops: (1) The preliminary use of the electric cleaner over a bare floor keeps your dust mops clean; (2) Clean after each use. The best way is by the suction attachment of the vaccum cleaner or by shaking out-of- doors. (3) Always hang up the mop after using. Wet Mops: Wash in hot soapy wa- ter; rinse and shake outsideComb, string mop with a clothespin. Dry in the sun if possible. Cellulose Sponges: Wash in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly ; squeeze — do not wring. Cellulose sponges may be sterilized in boiling water. Storage Place: "A sheaf -or sh-611,0 and clips on the wall, for all the cleaning materials in one place saves hundreds of unnecessary steps. Clean out and 'air the storage closet fre- quently.

Four courageous Canadians receiv- ed decorations from the hands of His Majesty the King at an] investiure at Buckingbam Palace. Pilot Officer Larry Robillard of Ottawa (left) was decorated with the .Distinguished "Fly- ing Medal.. He bas a .,score of four aircraft destroyed and one "prob- able." The Distinguished Flying Cross was presented to Flight Sergeant B. C. Paige, of Bridegport, Ont., (2) . af- ter he safely 'navigated a Hudson bomber and its ,eregw to its base. The aircraft flew• so low in an attack on enemy shippin g that one ,Wing --tip clip- ped a projecting rock, disabling the starboard engine, rendering all instru- ments and turret unserviceable and extinguishing the lights. To . Wing Commander Thomas C. Weir, of Tor- onto, and Winnipeg (3) went the Dis- tinguished Flying^Cross for bringing d. a disabled bomber and its crew to its base despite iiis own serious wounds. For risking. chis 1fe to rescue a com- rade from the wreckage of a burning plane after a take -off crash, Flying Officer Alexander J: Nicholson, of Windsor (right) received the George Medal. Nicholson braved exploding aminunition and, was bdown 60 feet by the force ,of a blast, but both men survived. - ' Answer:. We suggest using the electric cleaner and then an untrea.t: ed mop, dampened slightly if neces- sary. • Mrs. C. J. J. asks: "Recipe for white rolls that will not • require kneading?"

Bryan, -III, condensed from; The Saturday Review of Literature in Readers Digest) Tap Day comes. this month ---Tap Day for. the whole 'nation, when some 3500 Americans will be announced as new' members, of an honored fellow- ship. One' of the present members • is a girl of 13. Another is a man of 102.• A third is the son of slave par- ents. Age, ;-sex, race, faith, wealth and politics' matter not at all. What. you hive aecompliethed is the only yardstick used, by the editors of. "Who s Who in Anterica."_ late $90s, "fn file +1' a young• China go ' publisher' named Albert ' Nelson Marquis happened upon a. British "al- manack" . and court guide called "Who's When It provided little more than the names of the peerage and of government officials, , but its title struck Marquis as just right for an idea he 'had' bees} working on—a biog- raphical dictionary of Americans se• lected on the basis of achievement: After a ,little trouble getting . data from people who suspected a "come- on," Volume 1 of "WWhos Who in Am erica" appeared in; 1899, with the red binding and gold lettering it has worn ever since. It contained 8,602 biogra- phical sketebes and sold about 4,000 copies, mostly to proud biographee'. But as volume succeeded volume, pun- ctually every two years, ' with 'sketch- es from only those -persons who met Marquis's rigiud standards, libraries, publications, colleges and government bureaus began to realize that here was a unique-eae'rence -book:::,. Even- tually, ¥arquis had the satisfaction of seeing in Webster's Dictionary the definition: "Who: a person of prom- inence; as, one of the whos in "Who's Who." -The circulation of the forthcoming edition, Volume 22, is expected to pass' 60,000... Eighty-five per cent of the nation's high schools, 90 per cent. of its newspapers, will buy it. • Sonie 9,000 copies will go to colleges, 6,800 topublic libraries... The New York Public Library alone will buy more than 70. Like all successful pioneers, "Who's Who" has frequently been imitated. It must continually fight, often in. the courts, the "mug ;books" Which round dip gullible citizens at $10 to $50 a head. ("W4to's . Who" citations, of course are free) and curve out with "Who's Who in Cactus Center" or "Who's Who in the Buttonhole In- dustry." One such imitator, purport- ing to be a social directory, listed two' dachsliunds. Marquis no longer owns"Who's Who'—he sold it to Wheeler. =Sam- mons of Chicago in 1926. Until re- cently, however, he 'was at his 'dent every day, although in his' 80's or 90's. His most intimate associates do not know his exact age;.. it is conspicu- ously missing from his biography in the 'book' he founded. Of the 32,000 sketches in Volume 22, approximately 350 are about alumni of Volume I. They include Maude Adams, George Ade, Walter Dainrosch, Chart& _G._ . Dawes, Ray-. mon* Ditmars, inicholar Murray But- ler....

L. ,Mencken once observed, "ev- erything everything of interest about the• hon. gentleman, save hist fingerprints and the number of hie:- watch." Dr; But- ler's sketch is also the longest in the British "Who's, Wad,;" `!being a slightly manger than Roosevent's, Churchill's, Stalin's, Hitler's and' Mussolini's cem- bined. On the other hand, Vice -President Wallace tells hid attire in 18 lines; John D. FLockefelie ,. Jr., takes 11; William S. Knustleii,' 15.

The youngest groups are writers and entertainers. Nicholas Roosevelt—who died in 1742—is the blue -ribbon -sire of "Who's Who"; 20 of his direct descendants, have since been welcomed into Dr. Marquis's fold. Next is William Hen- ry Vanderbit, . with 13. The Smiths have the heaviest representation. in Volume B2,'. with nearly 300. The Browns, with about 170, and the Joneses, with 150, are second and third. About one fifth of "Who's Who's" names are listed ea officio—the Presi- dent, Vice -President, cabinet :members and Congressmen;' state governors and attorneys -general; high-ranking diplomats, judges and churchmen; ad- mirals and: generals; college presi- dents and. members of certain scien- tific and philanthropic 'societies. Most of the other entries originate from -mention--in •the -••scores- of news- papers and periodicals which the staff winnews.d'aily. Some are recommend- ed by friends or relatives. A vener- able bishop pleaded, "I'm getting old, and everybody knows me anyway. Please put Amy . son's name ..in and 'drop mine." . His request was not granted. Every . year many people boldly submit their own names: about one in 20 is accepted. The editor investigate all suggest- ed entries, and the names that sur vive are referred . to special commit- tees. For instance,,, a committee of en- gineers passeson all candidates from that ' profession. Lawyers, doctors, writers, businessmen form other eerie- mitteeee the membership of which is, known only to themselves and the editors. It would be impossible for an aspirant to use. pressure. . • Sometimes : a committee needs a shakeup, as happened in the case of sports. You can search the last "Who's Who" in vain for Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, or any other boxing champion. Gene !Tunney was listed, to be sure, but an "churn. of bd. Am. Distilling Co." Such baseball stars as Joe Di Maggio' and Lou Gehrig were also absent. .Yet professional golfers Sam Snead and„ •,Ralph 'Guldahl were listed, as Were professional tennis players Tilden, Budge, Perry; Vines and Alice Marble. This led to the crit- icism ,,that.. ' "Who's Who" favored "class sports." How, then, explain the omission of Hitchcock, Guest, Igle- hart; , and the other top-ranking polo players? The editors decided to settle the platter by dropping sports entirely. Hereafter, athletes will not be listed unless they can claim distinction in other fields as- well.. The editors and the committees considered more than 200,000 persons. for addition to the forthcoming vole ume. Each of the 3,500 finally endors- ed was asked to supply data, Nobody refused this year, but occasionally in °years. past a 'ptospective biographee has demanded that his name be left out.„ G • orge• Washington Hill, presi- dent of the American Tobacco' Com- pany, was one. An average •volume of "Who's Who" runs to e'ome 3,000,000 -words, four tames the length 'of the Bi_ble,. It re- ceives three -separate proofreadings, but a few mistakes pass undetected. Volume 20 declared that Anne, Mor- on (J. 1'. Morgans sister) ked- "died Aug. 25, 1936." When reporters in, farmed her, her comment was; "I am Met dead, and I am not prepared to Cie." She had been confused' :with ,Anna Morgan, a school teacher, also listed in "Who's Who;" .who had died on that date. The same volume sur- prised Dr, Thomas Mann by giving him the middle name of Schrifst. The proofreaders did not realize that ''Schrffst" was the' abbreviation' of Scbtlftsteller, Gellman tor "author." When an entry dies, his name us-' -uailyi appears in . the next volume with a bare referende to the volume in which his sketch was lest printed, Waned celebrity in another disgtfali- •fication.

Zaxperiments have been condneted for a number of years at the Dwain- DODD S in "Who's Who," gradually encroach- ed_ on the younger'g birth date until the younger one protested that the editorsewere Peanctioning a biological impassibility." On the other hand, it is not unusual for a man to under- state his age at 'first, and years later, proud of his vigor, make a correc- tion. An strange and appealing deception, is that of a well known writer. Cus- tomarily, when the subject of a sketch is a widower, he lists his late wife's name, followed by the note: (dec.). This writerr'* wife died, but because of his convictions ,about immortality the note is omitted at his request. A new "Who's Who" is hardly dry from the presses before it is being sifted and analyzed by sociologists and editorial writers. Findings vary from year to year, but here ,are some which have curiosity value: The- proportion of entries" to to- tal population remains fairly stea- dy at 1 in 4,300. Roughly 8.5 per are foreign- .. Only about 6.6 per cent are wo- men. Widowers who marry again wait an average of 21 years. Business- men and lawyers are slower, to re- marry than the average; scientists and clergymen are quicker. A decade ,"ago, your beat chance or making; "Who's Who" was to be _bQxn•,„in flew Fn21and,.,.the.. San eta Protestant clergyman, and to at- tend Harvard, Yale or Princeton.

St. Catharines, in connection with the surgical treatment of peach cankers, states R. ' S. "Willison. They have shown that, generally speaking, a die infectant and a water -proofing mater- ial were more effective when used to- gether than when either was used alone. Some waterproof dressings, more or less disinfectant in them- selves, for example white -lead pastes, some patent tree wound paints, etc., gave better performance than merely waterproof materials, such as asphalt tree emulsions. With both types, however, results were more satisfac= tory when the cankers were first swabbed with a disinfectant of prov- en worth, such as corrosive sublim- ate 1:500 (1, ounce in 3 gallons wa- ter). The asphalt tree emulsions thinned with one-third to one-quarter of their weight of corrosive sublim- ate solution has proved to be effec- tive dressings and are more conveni- ent, since they can be applied• in one operation. If the corrosive sublimate. white lead treatment is employed, bile white lead should ibe made into a thick paste by the addition of small quantities of raw or boiled oil. White leads thinned to consistency of paint and paints containing turpentine„are not recommended, as they can cause considerable injury, particularly if ap- plied in the dormant season. More penetrating disinfeetants are avail- able but where these have been tried they:.- were--••meither•..•,.less.-satisfactory than.the above or worse than useless, because of injury to bark tissues. Because of . the banger of heart -rots in wounds and cankers of long stand- ing, cankers should be treated during the first year.

Fall and late summer treatment means time and • money thrown away. Large fresh uninfected wounds, which may be incurred during cultivation and harvest should be trimmed and dress- ed as soon as possvble after they oc- cur. Dormant season treatments are no+ recommended. Before dressings are applied, the canker should be thoroughly cleaned and, the' dead, brown bark But away.. -_•••-`: _ Healing is facilitated if the lesions are shaped to a point' at their upper and lower ends. Treatment is profit- able only on trunks and larger branches-. Cankers on• small: branch- es should be removed. Cankers should be inspected for two or three years after treatment and treated again if necessary. Men of 30,4050 P Want toni Stdil today. VIGOR.
