PRINTED TEXT, Ps, 139: 1712, • 23, 24 GOLDEN TEXT.—If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and wo will come unto him, and make our abode with hitsn. John 14: 23. THE LESSON 1N ITS SETTING Time,—Wo are not able to as- certain when this psalm was written, though its title makes it to be a product of the time of King David, Place,—There is nothing in the pslam to indicate at what place it was first written. In this lesson we have the op- portunity of considering a sub- ject which has almost fallen out of modern thought, i,e. God's perfect knowledge of all a man's deeds, even of his inner life. No- where are the great attributes of God — his omniscience, his omni- fresence, his omnipotence — set orth so strikingly as they are in this magnificent psalms. Nowhere Is there a more overwhelming sense of the fact that man is beset and compassed about by God, pervaded by his Spirit; and yet nowhere is there a more emphat- ic assertion of the personality of man as distinct from, not ab- sorbed in, the Deity. In this psalm, the power of conscience, tho sense of sin and of respons• ibility, are felt and acknowledged, and prayer is offered to One who is not only the Judge, but the Friend. His Perfect Knowledge The first section of the psalm is a declaration and confession on the part of the psalmist of God's absolute omniscience, act:. nowledging that God knows all things including the psalmists's own life and thoughts and deeds. 1, 0 Jehovah, thou has searched ase, and known me, 2. Thou know - est my downsitting and mine up- rising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. 3, Thou search- est out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways, 4. For there is not a word in my tongue, But lo, 0 Jehovah, thou knowest it altogeth- er. 5, Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. Jehovah knows every individ- ual thoroughly; knows, with first- hand knowledge, as the result of personal search and tracing and testing. The hand suggests the sweet sense of companion- ship; the ministry of soothing; and the ministry of guidance, 6. Such knowledge is too wonder- ful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. Our mind has no line with which to measure the Infinite. Do we therefore ques- tion? Say, rather, that we there- fore believe and adore, His Omnipresence As man's thoughts can never be hidden from God, who knows all things, so now the psalmist declares that man cannot hide him- self from God, no matter in which direction he might flee, for God is everywhere present in the world. 7. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, be. hold, thou art there. 9. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10. Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me, 11. If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; 12. Even the darkness' hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Abhorrence of Wickedness In the 19th verse the psalmist switches abruptly from contem- plation of the divine to express a hope that righteous vengeance will overtake the wicked. Yet the psalmist does not think of him- self as incapable of sinning in his own life — he is suddenly over- whelmed with a new longing to be utterly clean from any pos- sible sin in his own inner life. And thus he brings his marve- lous confession of God's omni- science and omnipresence to a close, with a personal prayer that God would make his own life what it ought to be in the light of these truths. 23. Search me, 0 God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts. 24. And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. The psalmist felt that what he wanted was a guide, who would take him by the hand, and hold Lim up when he was ready to fall, along the rugged journey of life, or on the brink . of a dangerous precipice. "Lead nic in the way ever!as;. Int" NAVAL CRAFT LAUNCHED AT KINGSTON The latest war vessel to hit the water at Canadian shipyards, the cs�el Nananee is shown (top) on the ways at Kingston, Ont., a few minutes before she slipped into the water in a "side -launch- ing."

Confucius Was Born 2,942 Years Ago China, on August 27 commem- orated the 2,492nd anniversary of the birth of Confucius, venerated for centuries as the "perfect sage of 10,000 generations." Traditional ceremonies at the birthplace at Chufu, in Shantung Province, and at Chung]cing's Confucian temple were denied Chinese patriots this year, for Chufu is in Japanese hands and the Chungking temple was smash- ed by Japanese bombs last month. IRADIO REPORTEIIE VISIT FROM THE KING Daring a recent visit to the Overseas Division of the British Broadcasting Corporation, the King and Queen spent some minutes chatting with Gerald Wilmot and Gerard Arthur, Canadian announc- ers who aro now in England with the Overseas Unit of the CBC. The King recalled that he had first discovered Mr. W it m o t through hearing his voice from a bush where he lay concealed while giving a commentary for Canadian listeners on a visit by His Majesty to Canadian Forces in an English camp. Their Majesties met runny re- presentatives of the British Dom- inions and Colonies, and watched the preparation of news bulletins and programs in many foreign languages, as well as English.

POP — Sleeping Time Up to the Minister NOW LATE DO YOU L3UALLY SLP OH SUNDAY MORNING r Spiders Possess Huge Appetites Consume Equivalent of En• tire Fat Ox for Breakfast, Judging by Hunan Stand- ards The spider is one of the most sue• cessful animals- in the struggle for existence, It has adapted itself to life under almost every, condition, in all latitudes and in all tempera- tures, Spiders vary very emelt in size, from the tiny garden spider to a South American form that preys on humming birds. It is hard to account for the fear so many -people have of spiders. They are yaluable animals which do a lot of.good, All degrees of de- velopment can be found amongst 'spiders; from the hunting variety to the web -spinning. garden spider, which snares a plentiful supply of food with its beautiful geometric web. An insect destroyer, the spid• er demands respect. Its appetite Is insatiable: COULD BE COMMERCIALIZED A well-known scientist has stated that a pian, eating at the same rate as a spider, would require a "whole - fat ox for breakfast, an ox and five sheep for dinner, two bullocks, and eight sheep and four hogs for sup- per, and just before retiring nearly • four barrels of fresh fish." The question of food has so far prevented mucin use of the spider's silk for commercial purposes', Gloves have been made, and aro said to be more durable than those made of silk spun.by the silk -worm; but the feeding is a serious item, Farm Notes . . . Practical Asset — A Root Cellar As in Eastern Canada from early pioneer days, the root cel- lar in the Prairie • Provinces has proved one of the most practical means of preserving and storing farm vegetable crops, Among the many methods in use, the root cellar has the advantage of low cost and simplicity of cohstruc- tion. Old lumber and materials on hand may be utilized where - ever possible, To show how a substantial root. cellar may be made, the Agricultural Engin- eering Division of the Dominion Experimental Station at*swift Curren t, Saskatchewan, has drawn up simple and effective plans for the construction of a root cellar, which are given in a recently issued. Farmers' Bulletin entitled "A Practical Farm Root Cellar." It can be obtained by writing to Publicity and Exten- sion Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. Ideal Location Important factors upon which the measure of success of storing vegetables depends are the loca- tion of the cellar, temperature, humidity, and ventilation. The ideal location for a root cellar is on the side of a hill. This will ensure proper drainage away from the cellar and prevent water from accumulating during run- off periods, By having a south en- trance, sunshine and air may he admitted which will help to keep the vegetables in a dry condition. Vegetables, especially potatoes, should not be exposed to very much light as it tends to spoil them for table use, Best Temperature The best temperature for the storage of vegetables is between 35 and 40 degrees F. However, in the case of potatoes better storage is obtained when the tem- perature is kept around 60 de- grees for the first two weeks. At such temperature, tissue injury that may have occurred at har- vesting will heal more rapidly. Production of crude petroleum in Canada was increased in April to 634,869 barrels, as compared with 570,131 barrels in March, and 559,368 in April 1939, Out- put during the four months end- ed April totalled 2,347,445, as compared with 1,835,983 in the same period of 1939.

Can 1? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I remove the odor of onions from the breath? A. Chew a whole coffee bean or sprig of parsley which has been dipped in vinegar. If a lump of sugar saturated with vinegar 13 eaten, it will also remove onion odor from the breath. Q. How can I• rid the house of ants? A. A mixture of half borax and half sugar will poison every ant that finds it. Sprinkle it on shelves and around all haunts. Q. How can I remove spots and stains from silk without injuring the color? A. Take five parts of water and six parts of alum, well pound- ed. Boil a short time, and then pour into a vessel to cool, Prev- ious to using, the mixture must be made warm. Then wash the stained parts and allow to dry. A. Sprinkle a little salt on the gills. If this turns them yellow, they are poisonous; if it turns them black, they are safe to eat. Q. How can I sharpen a dull razor blade? A. Insert the blade into a glass filled with water and rub against the side of the glass. If Peonies Don't Bloom, Move 'Em Sometimes Shallower Plant - Ing Helps Peonies that have failed to bloom may bo benefitted by a shift to an- other location, or by shallower planting—not deeper than two or throe inches.

PRUNING SEASON There's plenty of work in the garden now for the pruning shears; many shrubs can be thinned out, to give more room for vigorous new growth; the same applies to cane and bush fruits, such as raspberries and currants; weedy tops of per- ennials that have completed their growth should bo removed.

Choosing A Site '— •----- To Build Home? 111EALTII Many Factors Bear On The T 0 P I C S Choice of Lot for Residence # With real estate becoming rec• ognized as ono of the foremost investment media unaffected by market fluctuations due to varia- tions in war conditions, home- -ownership is quoted today by arch- itectural authorities as "not only insurance against rel.tal Increases but an investment for the future with the knowledge that funds paid into the home will not depreciate with the years but should increase ]materially. Important factors to be borne in mind when investing in real estate are quoted as follows: 1, Secure a dependable opinion on the location and value of house or land. The services of a depend- able real estate agent should be secured in respect, to trends and land values, 2. Steps should be taken to ob- tain an absolutely clear title to any parcel of land or improved property It is essential that one should re-' quire the owner of :t property to establish his title to it before it is purchased, • 3. Make sure that the aur is free and clean in the locality in which the proposed land or horno.lies, It Is manifestly more pleasant to have a house located in a community re- latively free from smoke and dust. 4. Purchaso enough land, It is generally considered that a front- age of 50 feet is not too much. Nar- row lots limit space, distort. the architecture and limit privacy. The wider the lot the more desirable it will be to others with consequent greater resale value, Midlands: British Industrial Core As well As Being The Geo- graphic Heart of England— So Offer Valuable Target For Enemy Bombers The Midlands, which German bombers have added to their aerial blitzkrieg program, may be defin- ed as the dozen central counties of England, says a bulletin from the National Geographic Society: "Little idea of their importance is conveyed by saying that they ex- tend from Staffordshire east to I-Iuntingdonshire, from Derbyshire south to Bucks. For the Midlands are bounded on the north by Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest, on the southwest by Stratford -on -Avon and the other native haunts of William Shakespeare; on the south by ate clent Oxford on • the Thames, on the east by Cambridge and the pictttresque Fen Country. "Tito geographic heart of Eng- land, the plains of the Midlands lie east of the Severn, north of the Thames, south . of the Trent and west of the heights of East Ang- lia.' The approximately 4,000,000 inhabitants of these 'plains form about a tenth of England's popula- tion. "Dominating the Western Mid- lands, Birmingham has grown en its varied metal industries to be- come o-come England's second largest city, in the midst of a whole constella- tion of manufacturing suburbs. "Staffordshire is one of the most. important. counties in England for its industrial productivity. Its north- ers section Is notable for the clus- ter oftowns known as the Pot- teries, `possibly the most concen- trated and busiest ceramics centre in the world. "South Staffordshire is -the site of the 'Black Country, darkened with the smoke of a thousand spe- cialized metal industries. Leicester- shire, now known for its industrial city of Leic-sten', England's 'stock- ing capital,' still preserves the mooted castle of Kenilworth fro -I the days of Queen Elizabeth. Prevention Of Whooping Cough From studies made at the Con- naught Lab.oratories and School of Hygiene, Toronto one gains the View that whooping cough may be prevented by the' timely use of a fresh strain vaccine pro- duced for this purpose, writes Dr, John W. S. McCullough of the Health League of Canada, The study referred to was carried on six years among groups of con- trol and vaccinated children. Up to the present time 288 control and 1,007 vaccinated children have been followed, Of the for- mer, 52 and of' the latter 97, were in contact wth cases of whooping cough. The number of cases in the fir►St group were • 43 and in the latter group 10, so that the respective percentages were 82 and 10. Protective Vaccine Of 'the 97 contacts in the vac- cinated group there were 23- di- rect exposures to brothers and sisters with whooping cough. In the 23 instances the nature of the contact was intimate and continu- ous (often kissing, drinking front the same cup or sleeping in the same bed). None of the 23 de- veloped the disease from their brothers and sisters. This is very strong evidence of the protective value of the vaccine since one would not expect all of the 23 children continuously exposed to whoping cough to escape the dis- ease, It will be noted that there were 82 cases of whooping cough in the control group and but ten in the vaccinated children. This is another strong suggestion that the vaccine protects. Another fact, already referred to, is that while 52 control child- ren coming in contact with whoop- ing cough, 43 contracted the dis- ease giving a morbidity of 82 per cent., but 10 of 97 vaccinated children were infected, giving a morbidity of but 10 per cent, in this group. The foregoing, added to one's own experience' is' 'the use of whooping cough vaccine, indi- cates that this preventive remedy should be used in all cases -where there is a threat of this disease; Exports of Canadian wheat flour during the first seven months of 1940 totalled 4,065,- 870 barrels valued at $16,173,935 compared with 2,626,675 barrels worth $7,849,129 in the corres- ponding period of 1939.

It was invented to weigh the forces which strike an airplane in flight. It can record anything from the slap of a feather to a ton and a quarter yank.

TONER LUTHER SWAMP The highest point in Southern Ontario is the Dundalk plateau, situated in Wellington and Duf- .ferin counties. On the southern edge of the plateau, 1706 feet above sea level, is Luther Swamp, a great bog of more than 30,000 acres. This swamp is probably the greatest natural resource we have in southwestern Ontario for it is the storage basin from which all the great rivers receive their water. The Thames, the Grand, the Credit, the Humber, the Mait- land, the Saugeen, and the Not- tawasaga; all have their humble beginnings on the slopes of the Dundalk plateau. Some of them have direct surface flow frons the swamp, others are fed by the underground springs and the deep seepage. The District Suffered About a generation ago Luther swamp was drained into the Grand river in the hopes that good farm land would be uncov- ered. The promoters of the dram - age scheme were disappointed, for the land, being a peat bog, has proven unsatisfactory for ag- riculture. But the worst loss was to the people of the Province for Nature's laws and schemes for flood control were set aside. This great swamp in its natural state was a barrier against floods. It held the water for deep seepage, preventing it from going clown the rivers as wild, springtime in- undations. Springs, of course, are fed from the underground seep- age and Luther swamp helped to maintain these as well as the un- derground water table that fed the farmer's wells. Since the swamp was drained the whole district has suffered. At one time the wells were shal- )ow for the water table was close to the surface, now, the wells are being driven deeper and deeper each year as the water table drops. And in the spring time the Grand river, the prin- cipal stream to receive water from the swamp, goes on the rampage, destroying property and damaging the farmlands through- out its course. The Dam Will Help On the other hared this river has suffered tremendous shrink- age in the past generation, Fully fifty-five miles of its upper reaches dry up each summer as a direct result of the draining of the swamp. Formerly, the upper Grand comprised one of the fin- est speckled trout waters in the region. Now, trout are virtually non-existent. Floods in the spring- time, droughts and low water in the summer and early fall, these have followed the unwise drain- age of the headwater swamp. However, there seems to be a Determined effort at the present time to stop the damage from floods on the Grand River and the restoration of Luther swamp to its original condition is now being considered as an aid to this .flood control. By building a dam across the outlet of the swamp, to hold hack the water in the spring, a vast reservoir will be created that will do much towards replenishing the underground water of the distric. as well as help in floral control. King's Pigeons Have Enlisted Royal Birds Are To Be Used In Event of Emergency — Acting As Air Mail Pigeons from the King's loft at Sandringham have been added to a pigeon post organized to operate in the event of a national emer- gency in Great Britain. The pigeon post was inaugurated in July last year by the Duchess of Kent when she visited Fort Dunlop incl rHleas- ed the first flock of pigeons from their baskets. DISTANCE FLIERS On the eve of the outbreak of the war a pair of blue checks arrived' from E. W. Steele, the King's pig- eon keeper. They are long distance birds, four or five years old, of the stock which has won the lig races from Lerwick in Shetland and Bor- deaux. In addition to the pigeon loft. at headquarters, lofts are being open- ed in other parts of the country for the service, which is the only or- ganized pigeon post. in Great Bri• fain.

THE WAR •WEE K --Commentary on Current !:vents Destroyer Swap Gives 13 r i t a i n War Advantage "The nasty shock for Hitler", recently foretold by the London Daly Mail, carne last week with President Roosevelt's dramatic announcement that the United States was handing over to Great Britain 50 destroyers for use in the war against Germany. In more than one way; this was bad news for the Axis. Hitler and Mussolini saw the British navy strengthened thereby, its forces bolstered for an early Near Eastern offensive; knew their own blockade of the Brit- ish Isles weakened; realized the extent of the co-oper•tition be- tween Brtiain and the United States (for the U.

The securing of naval and air bases stretching up in a chain from South America to Newfoundland meant that the United States had the North Atlantic tied up in a bag, was on its way to becoming quietly master of this whole hem- isphere. (A major feature of the transaction with Britain was a concttlrrent pledge from Prime Minister Churchill to Secretary of State Hull that the British fleet would never be scuttled or surrendered and thus jeopardize U.S. security in the Atlantic). "They Can't Do It" Great Britain still had not been invaded last week. In sup- port of the theory that Germany never would be able to accom- plish it, Masanori Ito, one of Japan's best-known naval com- mentators, declared that Hitler could not land troops in Eng- land while the British commanded the sea—and the German Air Force was insufficient to win away that command. During the week the Germans were obviously concentrating on destroying. all the important Brit- ish airfields in the southeast cor- ner of England, so that British fighters would be unable to de. fend London and hold the air over the southeast coast. Plans for an invasion could only then go forward. Grave disturbances in the Bal- kans, a new line-up in Africa (all the French colonies there went over to the side of Britain) worked from other quarters last week to give Hitler and Mussolini serious pause in their campaigns for world conquest. The embroil- ment of Rumania and Hungary meant the cutting -off of vtial productive activity (agricultural, industrial) in the Balkans, so badly needed in the German war effort. Would Russia March? Russia remained the big ques- tion ma; k in European politics. Evidence was abundant that Stalin had prevented any Italian move through Greece against Britain. Would he now act to stop Hitler's march through Russia? Would he step in himself and take over Carol's kingdom? A clash between Germany and the Soviet Union was seen as ine- vitable, sometime; would Stalin seize the moment when Hitler was engaged in the Battle of Britain, to catch his ideological opponent at .a disadvantage and attack boldly in the east? Crisis in the East In the Far East loomed an- other crisis of international pro- portions. Over Indo-China. The Japanese fleet was reported cruising outside Indo-China waters, blockading the entire northeast coast.... Tho chief of the Japanese mission to French Indo-China had sent an ultimatum demanding the right to transport Jap troops across the French colony—Which had been refused.... The Chinese Government (against whom the Jap troops would be moving) had formally declared its determina- tion to act should the Japanese enter French Indo-China "under any pretext or under any condi- tions with a view to attacking China...." U. S. Notifies Japan From Washington, Secretary of State Cordell Hull publicly no. tified Japan that any change in the status quo of French Indo- China and the Netherlands East Indies, due to Japanese military operations, would have "an un- fortunate effect upon public op- nion in the United States." .. The first move of a new civil disobedience campaign against Britain for refusing to grant India independence was begun last week at Cawnpore, home of the Indian Nationalist leader, Nehru. Mohandas K. Gandhi had previously declared that the Government of India was "invit- ing civil disobedience" by arrest- ing certain of its members on charges of making seditious speeches. Enough 21 s At home .the National War Services Department announced that the 21 year-old class of Canadian !young men wauld pro- vide almost enough personnel for the first two drafts for military training ... Several million Can- adian youngsters started back to school; in Ontario, only twenty- eight of them were stricken by the dread infantile paralysis now raging across the For ler in Michigan .. . A salmon, tagged and released in Nova Scotia, was captured forty-two days later at Moisie River, Quebec. 13y the most dir- ect route this is a distance of 800 miles. REG'LAR FELLERS -- Good -Night ! There Are Plants That Kill Humans Several Are Known To Nat. uralists -- Cannibal Tree of Australia Is Example Apart from plants that poison there are several known to natural• fists which can kill a man who comes within their clutches. One horror of this kind is the Cannibal Treegof Australia, the powerful leaves of which can close in like a trap and crush out the life of the unwary investigator. Another un- pleasant forest fiend is the Tele- graph Tree of India, which has leaves that move about curiously; but anyone who touches them is liable to get a severe electric shock — quite enough to kill a man with a weak heart. The worst of these killing plants is the vegetable octopus that grows near Lake Titicaca, in South Amer- ica. This was discovered by au ex- plorer who, hearing the agonized cries of a dog, found the animal en- veloped in a network of rope -like fibres I-fe managed to free it — but not before man and dog had been blistered and blood-stained by the monster growth.

"THE MINGLING OF THE CANADIAN AND AMERICAN PEOPLES" By Marcus Lee Hansen No more timely work than this first volume of a series being pre- pared under the Carnegie En- dowment for International Peace could appear at such a moment in the history of the North Am- erican continent, when, after the epoch-making talks at Ogdens- burg, the United States raid Can- ada have joined in a mutual de- fense agreement, climaxing long years of good neighborliness and tentative co-operation. In this book. Professo>: Hansen undertook the difficult task of filling the great gap in our knowledge of how the peoples of the United States and Canada working in unison have woven the new pattern of North An:- ercian culture. He does it by trac- ing the exchanges in populations between the two countries since 1700, pointing out that there are millions of North Americans whose families have branches on both sides of the boundary.

II As they sat down, out of sight, Darcy moved ltijo r view and lounged disconsolately against the wall. The dance over, Bingley joined hint, "Come, Darcy," he remarked. "I hate to see you stalking about by y ourself in this stupid way, Why don't you dance? The place' is full of pretty girls," Elizabeth and Charlotte, hid- den in the alcove, but completely within hearing of the• conversa- tion, exchanged glances. "I've only seen one — and you've monopolized her," Darcy replied, "Isn't Miss Jane lovely!" Bing- ley said happily, "But there's that sister of hers—Miss Eliz- abeth. They say she has a lively wit." "A provincial young lady with a lively wit!" Darcy exclaimed. "Heaven preserve us! And that mother of hers—" "It's not the mother you have to dance with, Darcy," Bingley interrupted, "It's .the daughter. She's charming," " "Oh, I admit she's tolerable enough — considering the class she comes from." Darcy shrug- ged -as they started to move away. "But I'm in no humor fol. !ow life this evening," Elizabeth rose from her chair and peered out after therm, "Well —what a charming man!" She set her mouth angrily and fan-. ned herself to cool her tempera "You mustn't be offended, Lizzy," Charlotte consoled. "He didn't know you could hear," "What difference does that make?" demanded Elizabeth furi- ously. "It's not my hearing that matters — it's the fact that he said it! The complacent, self- satisfied arrogance of the man! Oh, it makes Inc so angry!" A young man advanced' and claimed Charlotte for the next dunce. Elizabeth took a sent along the wall, In another moment, Sir William approached with Mr. Darcy. "1 Beg To Be Excused" "Miss Elizabeth," beamed Sir William, "stay I have the honor to present Mr, Darcy? He is eag- er to invite you to dance." Darcy smiled at her. "Now that you have been forwnrned of lay .eagerness to dance with you, may I hope you will do me the honor." Elizabeth smiled back cooly. "I'm afraid the honor of stand- ing up with you is more than I could bear, Mr. Darcy. Pray ex- cuse Inc." He stared at her in amaze- ment. "Are you saying you don't caro to dance %villi nm, Miks Ben- net?" Elizabeth's senile gave way to stony pride, "1'm begging to be excused, sir." "It's my loss, l'ln sure," he an. swered coldly. "You perhaps know best about that, sir," was her calm rejoiner. At that moment, Mr. Wickman, Lydia's officer, appeared, He greeted Elizabeth, then turned to Da; cy with smiling good humor. $1.22 SENDS 3001 "BRITISH CONSOLS" 1 "EXPORT" or "LEGION" Cigarettes or 1 ib, Tobacco—BRIER SMOKING or any MACDONALD'S FINE CUTS (with papsn)lo Canadian soldiers OVERSEAS In C,A.S,F. units only, Mall Order and Remittance tot— OVERSEAS DEPARTMENT W.

Darcy, making no movement of salutation toward Wickham, bow- ed stiffly to Elizabeth and walk- ed away, "The Man's Mad" She stared after him, astonish- ed and incensed by his manner. "The man must be mad," she said. "Mad?" Wickham smile d. "You're too charitable, Miss Eliz- abeth, If you were better ac- quainted with him, you would see another man." "Have you known him a long time?" she asked in amazement. "Since childhood, But, as you saw, we're not on friendly terms. You see — well — my father was steward of the Darcy es- tates." Elizabeth blushed for Darcy's snobbish pride, "Without , know- ing anything more, I'm . on your _side," she crled. Jane, meanwhile, was glowing with the delight of being present- ed by Mr, Bingley to his sister, ''When one's accustomed to the fashionable world of London," Miss Bingley remarked, then stopped with- an elegant, de- precating gesture,. "Frankly, Miss Jane, you strike me as the only civilized person in the room." "Oh, you're unfair to the oth- ers,"Jane protested, Miss Bingley patted her arm patronizingly, "Sweet child, What it charming disposition. You must come over to Nether'field one day. I shall be so bored, you know, marooned out here in the wilder- ness. We'll arrange it, shall we? Very soon?" What happens, when Jane visits the Bingley estate? Will Elizabeth see Darcy again?

Pinafores Are Again Popular Aprons to Keep Little Girls' Frocks Clean Are Good News to Mothers Pinafores, which keep little girls' dresses clean while they play with water -colors or do -any of the mil- lion -and -one things that aro likely to soil clothes, aro much in style this year, This is good news for mothors, who must feel like smart managers when they tako off a child's soiled pinafore and disclose a cleanly dressed little girl ready for company or for supper with the family. Pinafores can be bought separately, to wear over any dross.' or they come with dresses ht at- tractive combinations of fabrics, Particularly practical are the navy, brown or wino pinafores that come' separately, Then there aro count- less dresses in the 2 -to -6 ago range, and also In the 7 -to -12 group, 111 washable cottons is solid colors, with striped pinafores repeating In thio stripe tho color of the dress. It is naturally more practical to have the pinafore of the striped material, as=stripes show spots less than solid colors do. AND JUMPER DRESSES Juniper dresses are in vogue in small sizes, too. Some are of lav c•ndss washable cott,,n, with lay - ender -and -white striped shirting waists. The dresses are rut prin• cess stylo with fullness in the back, a new note. or have skirts that are full all the way around. Women's Hats Make Circus Clowns Weep The latest millinery is making litany men laugh—but not circus clowns. Al Kerber struck up a conversa• lion with a circus clown at Shar- on, Pa. "What's the hardest purl of yuor job?" he asked the clown. "Trying to find clown hats," was the answer. "The women are stealing our thunder these days." It's Durable, Blends With The Wool and Cotton and Takes Dye, Experts Say "Why, my dear, what a lovely peanut you're wearing" may be- come a common expression if ex- periments with peanut fibres for clothing material succeed. York- shire experts are satisfied with results so far but want to be def- initely certain, Men and women research work- .ers are wearing costumes and suits of materials largely compos- ed of peanut fibres and are test- ing the fibre's reaction to wear and weather, First reports have been "satisfactory." TESTING FIBRE'S REACTION They wore the cloth on hikes, stood in rain and the men made a habit of sitting down without hitching up their trousers to test "crease reaction," "It blends with either wool nr cotton and takes 100 per cent. dye" a Yorkshire research offi- cial said. "We anticipate it will be a big $'access for women's wear. Beauteous "Miss Ontario" Chosen from more than 1,000 of the province's loveliest girls, Mary Allen Batten of Thorold has been named "Miss Ontario."

Use Shortcuts When Sewing No Need To Do Everything The Hard Way Sew rickrack to the underside of the hem of pillowcases or other articles which you intend to decor- ate with a hand -crocheted edge. Ar- range the rickrack in such a way that only a bit of the points will show on the right side. 1Vheu cro- cheting cutch the hook into the points instead of into the mater- ial. When the autle1e wears out, it is thou easier to rip off the rickrack braid and use the hand -made lace in something else. WRONG SIDE OF PATCI-IES When patching use garments made of washable prints; use the wrong side of the new paten in- stead c[ tho right side. Such n patch is loss noticeable since it matches more nearly the somewhat faded material, To insure an even hens ou nap. kins use the hemmer of the desir- ed width on the sewing machine. Do not thread the sewing machine needle, This will fold in the hem evenly and it will then bo ready for (land sewing. When cutting anything from vel• t'ot, pill the patter(( to the wrong .side of tho velvet and the velvet will be easier to cut. Use narrow hat elastic on bab• les' bibs instead of tape or ribbon. The elastic permits of the bib being adjusted easily over the (lead.

Social Justice Should Be Our Post -War Aim Writer of Poem King George Quoted In His New Year's Ad- dress Speaks to Canadian University Women Aint of governments after the war must bo for social justice, Miss M. Louise IIaskins, of Banff, Alta. formerly of London, England, said in addressing the triennial conven- lion at Calgary of the Canadian Federation of University Women's Clubs. 1.Iiss Haskins, who became fam- ous when the words of a poem she wrote some yoars ago were quoted by His Majesty in his New Year's t'ndlo address, held that the charac- ter of general government which will come alter tho war may he show to emerge but its nucleus should appear in terms of a peace treaty. I -HEALTH 13I0 PROBLEM The former London School of Economics staff member said that certain necessities of the post-war world could be forecast, Tho world would face after the war most of the conditions of the last war but those conditions would be in- tonsified with the most serious problems those of health. Any remaining luxuries of life must be strictly curtailed as long as tho vital needs of good health wore unfilled, and housing pro- jects would be a part of the health scheme, she believed. Great private fortunes would not have a part in tho post-war world, sho predicted, Why Children Enjoy Noise Children like noise because the instincts of the primitive man who is born again in all of us have not yet been subdued by training or teaching. All prim- itive ones like noise, and the rea- son for that is perhaps that the early men made a noise because they were afraid of solitude and silence. They raised their voices partly to raise their spirits and partly to frighten away the evil spirits they feared so much, STRIKING DRESS WITH TURBAN By ANNE ADAMS A striking ensemble like Pat- tern 4512, by Anne Adams is in- dispensable.

CHAMBERS Some Tasty Desserts For Early Autumn The homemaker's mind can be at rest for the day from the chief anxieties of menu -planning, if she plans the meat and vege- table courses early and then tho dessert, Every wise woman realizes it saves time and strength to arrange her meals early in the day. And now as the last fresh fruits are on the market and the evenings are chilly, we like to turn our attention to the types of dessert which have been ne- glected during the hotter months. Apples, pears and peaches, are now at their best. In all baked fruit puddings a long, slow bak- ing seems to produce a superior flavor. If baking a deep apple pie, the filling of apples and sugar should bo baked slowly for about one and one-quarter hours until apples have that reddish brown color, before placing the cover on the top, This type of pig chilled and served with whipped cream is dessert fit for royalty. Baked pears makes a lovely seasonal dessert. If you are fortunate enough to have maple syrup, place pears in casserole, baste with the syrup. These may be served hot or cold, A flavor of ginger to pears is always re- • freshing. This may be added to a sauce or chopped candied gin- ger added to whipped cream. Try these peach desserts for something different: Peach Surprise • Cook • large extra fine whole - peach (pitted) in a sugar syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 sup water), Cook until soft but not broken, Cool. Spread your fa- vorie light cake ice cream. Cut in squares and on each press on one of the peach halves. Serve with a thick raspberry syrup. Cantaloupe and Peach a la mode Cut small, very ripe, chilled cantaloupes in half; sprinkle with fruit sugar. Fill centers with sliced sweetened peaches, top with whipped or ice cream. Pear Tapioca '.s: cup quick tapioca 1% cups boiling water teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon grange juice 2 tablespoons syrup from mat'ashino cherries 1/4 cup corn syrup '•. cup crow syrup 6 ripe large pears Cook tapioca in double boiler with water and salt until clear. Add lemon and orange juice, syrup from cherries, sugar and corn syrup, Peel and core pears, place in baking dish with cavity up, Place cherry in each cavity. Pour over tapioca. mixture, bake until pears are tender. Serve cold with whipped cream. Pear Conserve - Peel and pare one peck pears, run through food chopper, weigh, and for each pound of pears add 1r lb, sugar. Put fruit, sugar and l cup water' in pre- serving kettle. Let come to a good boil; add grated rinds and strained juice of two lemons and 1 can grated pineapple; Iii cup chopped candied ginger. Cook two hours, stirring occasionally; then pour into jars and seal. READERS WRITE INI Miss Chambers welcomes per• sonal letters from interested readers.

Along with warning against over-exposure to the sun, the article recom- mended light, loose clothing and a diet which includes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. "Don't get `mad'; keep cool," the editorial said. How To Reduce A Fatted Calf You Have to Get Rid of it To Wear Fall Frocks A glimpse at the trumpet sil- houette of fall clothes is the sig- nal for us to get that slim -and - narrow look.

Women Criminals Definitely Deadlier There are fewer women crim- inals than male offenders, but they are more violent, the U. S. Department of Justice reported last %veek. Only 8.2 per cent of the arrest records examined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the first six months of 1940 re- pmesented women. But of each 1,- 000 men and 1,000 women ar- rested, it was found that there were 13 women as compared with 10 men arrested for murder.
