Heitman of Syracuse University believes there is little if any truth in the saying that left-handed children, who later were taught to use their right hands, are stutterers. Heitman, chairman of the School of Speech and Dramatics at Syracuse, told a local Science forum that of 1,600 tested stud- ents entering Syracuse, only one of 77 who had their handedness changed, was afflicted. Heitman said there are about 1,800,000 persons in the United States who stutter. The ratio is one stutterer among every 100 persons. MORE BOYS STUTTER "It is interesting to note," he added, "that stuttering is likely to develop in children during the fifth grade in school when they are about 11 years old. It is also difficult to explain," he added, "why boys have a greater ten- dency to stutter than girls." Prof. Heitman said there are at least three times as many boys afflicted as are girls. Light Pillows Indicate Quality A pillow can be checked for resilience by depressing its centre with the palm of the hand. If it quickly regains its shape after the pressure is removed, there is still life and buoyancy in the feathers. If not, it is indication that the feathers are probably worn out and a new pillow need- ed. Good quality feather pillows are light in weight—an all -down pillow 21 by 27 inches weighs about one and a half pounds, goose and chicken feather pillows of the sane size weigh one and two pounds more respectively. The Book Shell,, "BETWEEN TWO WORLDS") By Upton Sinclair ' This new novel by the eminent American writer is three things in one—a fascinating story rich with incident and intrigue; an in- timt.te review of significant .ev- ents in that turbulent, wealthy era which began with the Treaty of Versailles and ended with the 1929 crash; and an analysis of the ills that beset our times. The book includes six full- length love stories; four weddings, and two separations; two murders and one near -hanging. The scenes are set in a Riviera villa, a Ger- man castle, three French chateaux and an imitation one on Long Island; three yacht cruises and many visits to Paris, London, Berlin, Munich, Geneva, Genoa, Rome" and Leningrad. Historic characters met on the pages in- clude Hitler, Mussolini, John argent, Lincoln Steffens, Isadore pitman and Sir Basil Zarahoff, Upton Sinclair's central theme is the world of the twentieth cen- Ivey, and it is enough to have bed in that time to understand and enjoy the story.

THE WAR •WEE K --Commentary on Current Events U. S. PREPARES TO 'FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY AGAIN "Freedom of democracy in the world .. . Is the kind of faith for which we have fought before, for the existence of which we are ever ready to fight again."—U. S. President Roosevelt. The story of last week's develop- ments in the war abroad was punc- tuated on this side of the Atlantic by a series of sharp, "more action" utterances which came from the lips of the key men in the Itoose- vett Cabinet and from the Presi- dent himself, In a speech dedicating as a shrine the birthplace of Great War Persident Woodrow Wilson, Mr. Roosevelt clearly annunciated the American decision — "we are ever ready to fight again, for the free- dom of democracy in the world," Calling For "More Action" Last week as the United States stood on the brink before declar- ing formal war on the Axis, the United Press published a review of some of the aignificant state- ment made within the previous month by responsible U. S. Govern- ment officials and influential lead - era. It showed how "step-by-step" the United States had been ab- andoning its nonbelligerent policy and preparing for intervention on the side of Britain: April 9 (Maritime Commission Chairman Emory S. Land) — "In the field of shipping aid to Britain, there is a huge bonfire burning — the submarine menace . . . We might well ask ourselves in our. all-out aid to Britain if we could not give greater help by aiding the British to put out the fire rather than by concentrating most of our efforts on feeding it with fuel." April 24 (Secretary of State Cor- dell hull) — "It is high time that the remaining free countries should arm to the fullest extent and in the briefest time htnnanly pos- sible and act for their self-preser- vation , . . Aid (to Britain) must reach its destination in the short- est time in maximum quantity. So ways must he found to do this." "Make Promise Good" April 24 (Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox) — "We have declared that the fight that England is mak- ing is our fight ... Having gone thus far wo cannot back down .. . Hitler cannot allow our war sup- plies and food to reach England — he will be defeated if they do, Wo cannot allow our goods to be sunk in the Atlantic — we shall be beat- en ft they are. We must make our promise good to give aid to Bri- tain. We must see the job through." April 25 (President Roosevelt) -- "United States neutrality patrols will be sent as far into the waters of the seven seas as may be nec- essary for the protection ot the American hemisphere." A.pril 29 (President Roosevelt)— "Legal authority nista to send American warahipa into combat zones , , . this does not necessar- ily mean such action will be tak- en." Course Chosen April 29 (Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones) — "We have chosen our course ... to give all possible aid to those countries which are fighting to preserve their inde- pendence and our way of life .. . more sacrifices are in store ferns." April 30 (President Roosevelt)— "We must fight this threat (of ag- gression) wherever it appears , . ," A Critical Situation May 2 (President Roosevelt) — "lrms production must. be stepped up to meet the over -increasing de- mands for munitions, planed and ships, caused by the critical situa- tion which confronts our nation." May 3 (Wendell Willkie) — "The state of sinkings is so serious that we should protect our cargoes of arias and foods to England," May 4 — President Roosevelt's statement quoted at the head of this column, Nay 5 (President Roosevelt) — "Command of the air by the democ- racies must and can be achieved." (Increased production of heavy bombers had been ordered.) May 5 (house Naval Affairs Com- mittee Chairman Carl Vinson — "I am for convoys now," May G (Rep. E; E. Cox, Dem., Georgia) --- "Of course we are going to convoy and we are going to convoy right away." "Shall We Now Flinch?" May 0 (Secretary of War Henry Stimson) — "Shall we now flinch and permit our billions ot dollars worth of munitions to be sunk in the Atlantic? If today the United States Navy should make secure the seas for the delivery of muni - ions to Britain, it will render as great a service to our own coun- try and to the preservation of Am- erican freedom as it has ever ren dered in all its glorious history. Supplementing the efforts of the British Navy, it can render secure all the oceans, north and south, west and east, which surround our continent, In that way, it can help to hold in check the onward rush of the tido of nazism until the other defence forces of all the democ- racies aro completed." * * * Mediterranean Crisis Besides the crisis in the Battle of the Atlantic, new threats wore developing for Britain in the Medi- terranean basin — in North Africa, where the German army was re• ported strongly reinforced prepar• REG'LAR FELLERS—A Wise Guy I LENT BAGGY SCANLON• A ►` I EL AN' HE WON Glv TIT MBA iK atory to concurrent drives toward Suez'. and the Atlantic; and in oil - rich Iraq, Britain's air base for the whole Middle East, where Nazi - inspired revolt flared, appeared to be in danger of spreading to eai-_ .be neighboring Arab countries, In the latter case the possibilities would have to be taken into con- sideration, that a vast Arabian force would be thrown against the British in the Near East; that the Axis powers would. gain the bases they needed to develop their drive from the east against the Suez Canal and Egypt; that Britain would lose essential oil pipelines which feed her Mediterranean fleet. Smoking Out Turkey Turkey was in a worse spot than ever last week. Following the occu- pation by Germany of more Greek Islands in the Aegean, Associated Press' Kirke Simpson wrote: "Tur- key is menaced by the .possibility of air bombardment or invasion from her Black Sea front to her southern coaetline in the eastern Mediterranean it site resists mounting Nazi pressure to abandon her British alignment, Her eastern frontiers and contacts with her British allies aro menaced by the Anglo -Iraq conflict, and she is re- ported also hastily reinforcing her defence on the Tui'itish-Iran border in fear that the war in Iraq may spread in that direction." (Study of the map recommended),' The Waking Bear On May Day, while signs multi- plied of increasing tension in Russo -German relations, ,the De- fence Commissar of the Soviet Un- ion S. K. Timoahenko issued a. warning that Russia had reorganiz- ed her armed forces "in the light of experience and modern war- fare" and was ready for any "sur- prises," He declared that the U. S. S. R. was ready to "offer an anni- hilating rebuff to any encroach. ments by imperialists," That same week Josef Stalin became Premier , of the Soviet Union, a sign that Russia was consolidating her vast strength for the days that lay ahead. Reports emanating from Vichy told of a huge "about face" of Rus- sia's military strength antra shift- ing of large land, sea and air forces southward toward the Balkan and Near Eastern frontiers. Although the reports contained no hint of any kind of impending Soviet mil- itary action they wore described in Vichy as revealing a general "jockeying for position" through- out the Near East from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf, The Sov- iet High Command also was said to have decided 'on an extensive reinforcement of its fleets in the Black Sea and Caspian due, accord- ing to some versions, to the Pres• once of Italian and German naval forces in that area, These Russian naval forces, mostly transfei red from the Baltic, were believed to include submarines and torpedo boats. ►�ro sari rPictures Corn HERRIs ALL YOU IIAVB TO DO; to get photos of the following aeroplanes Spitfire . , .

Home Accidents Greatest Threat To Our Babies — Children's Tendency to Experiment Leads to Dangerous Situs. tions Which Must Be Avoided Accidents, not mumps, measles or pneumonia, take the heavy toll of our children today. Accidents are the leading cause of death among children between 4 and 10 and rank second for children be- tween 2 and 4, Most frequent causes of acci- dents at home are suffocation, burns, poisoning, cuts, drownings and falls. Many of these could be prevented by . simple precau- tion and ever -watchful cure, The young child is a great ex- perimenter. If lie sees mother take something ,from the medicine chest, he may drink it, or even try to use daddy's razor, The best tvay to prevent such accidents is, of course, to keep such things out of baby's reach, OUT OF CHILD'S REACH Mothers should keep handy an- tidotes for all poisons, If the child swallows poison or some harmful substances, administer the antidote at once and then call your doctor immediately, Bed covers should be arranged in such a way that. they cannot be pulled over the baby's head. Too many deaths are caused from suffocation and can be avoided by careful attention and the use of simple devices to prevent such accidents; These can be obtained in your'•local'stores, • Leave no unprotected places such as the head of staircase, an open window, porch or fire place into which toddlers. might tumble. Safety doors or playpens may be bought or built cheaply. They may save your child from break- ing tl bone or even from death, Hellenic Hair Fashions Good Sculptured Curls and Ringlets of Classic Beauty Are Coming In . One noted- New York authority has launched a series of I-Iellenic hail' fashions. This trend was in- spired by Gluck's famous Greek opera "Alceste," and malty ideas were taken directly from Greek masterpieces. These Grecian styles employ the use of curls Iu great • abundance, sculptured curls and riuglet's of classic beauty, inany of them three inches in length. Some- times these curls are piled high and held with a cord. to emphasize the contour of the head, One with this basic arrangement has a side bang of curls, givin., a sweeping effect of mass curls from low on the temple upward to the crown of the head. For very young things or for wo- men who lead all active life yet want tho Grecian touch, there is the short, cropped hair-do—a• solid mess of flyaway curls. This type of hair -do is very attractive with hats that sit on the back ot the Bead, Braids or twists of hair will be very much in use this season, par- ticularly in the evening -when dig- nity and grace are of first import - mice. They will be used to circle 'he head wreath fashion, span the distance :`'Veen two upswept rolls, or build a 1'83 „ad's knot. Upswept waves are good, the theory being that they match the popular upturn ot hat brims. Something different, again, is the coiffure that is parted and comb- ed back into big loose waves, or the coiffure that is rolled at the sides to reveal a perfect widow's pea lc, Holiday Fares Canadian railways will offer reduced fares l'or coming holiday periods including Victoria Day, May 24, falling on a Saturday; the King's Birthday, June 9, falling on a Monday; and Domin- ion Day, July 1, which this year conies on a Tuesday.

Hunt and Dr. Bernard Matzen of Arcata, Calif. TWISTED NOSES Motionpictures of dozens of children with misshapen jaws, twisted noses ugly, irregular teeth, over -developed tongues and other irregularities were exhibit- ed. Dr. Hunt attributed them in part at least to habits, Here are some of his findings: Little girls and boys who habi- tually bite their lower lips may develop protruding upper jaws or "buck teeth," Sometimes the upper becomes abnormally largo from being thus treated and the lower teeth become slanted in- ward. BREATHING THROUGH MOUTH Breathing through the mouth can contribute toward the uptilt- ing of the nose and a shortening of the upper lip, until the young- ster cannot close his lips. The youngster who sleeps with hands, palms together, on the pil- low, and cheek resting on the back of one hand, may cause a flatten- ing on one side of the jaw. Dr. Hunt pleasured the amount of pressure exccrted on one side of the face in that position and re- ported it was 14 pounds, That much weight repeatedly applied to, the same side of the face a few minutes every night is sufficient - to deform the jaw, Bet You Quebec Can Beat This who is the champion grand- father in North America? T. R. Fowler, of Colorado Springs, Colo., asked the ques- tion and he's trying to find the answer. He's challenged "any white man who has mar- ried only once" to dispute his own claim to the title.

Canada is three thousand miles away from the sound of guns • which are devastating Europe. • The broad Atlantic Ocean rolls between us and the ruthless savagery of the German Armies. The strongest fleets in the world — British, American and Canadian—patrol the sea between us and the enemy. We have a great friendly nation, probably the richest and most powerful in the world, at our side. CANADA CAN AFFORD HER SACRIFICES This war is a mechanized war. We have the nickel ... copper .. o lead . o . zinc and other metals the war industries need. We have access to the iron. We can make the steel. We have the organized industries to fabricate these metals and make tit. 'trucks, and tanks, and guns, and planes, and the ships. We have skilled workers and the plants for mass production. Canada has the wheat and the food supplies. Let us count our blessings, and tighten our belts. Canada is rich—one of the richest countries per,head of popula• tion in the world. Let us lend our strength to the utmost of our power. Our national future depends upon Victory. We must win to live. THERE WILT BE FURTHER CALLS There have been many calls upon the people of this country for money since Canada entered the war at the side of Great Britain. There will be further calls. Let us face the future unafraid. Canada can carry the load. But every Canadian must shoulder his and her share.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VII BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORIZONS: SAUL'S CONVERSION Acts 9: 1-31 PRINTED TEXT, Acts 91 1.18 GOLDEN TEXT -1 was not die• obedient unto the heavenly vision. Acts 26;19. THE LESSON I.N ITS SETTING Tune—'!'tic conversion of Saul took place probably iu A,I). 36, and later events in this chapter are believed to have occurred in A;I), 37 and 38. Place—The city of Damascus W113 tpproxiniately 150 miles northeast of Jerusalem, in Syria; the city of Tarsus was located in the southeastern part of Asia Minor, on the Cydnu3 River, ten miles from the seacoast. Christ's soldiers are His cap- tured enemies. !';very soul won from resistance to the eros., is sent out into the field to win others. Of this the most noble instance in Christian history is the conversion of Saul. Jesus Christ never encountered a bit- terer nor an abler foe; Jestls Christ never won a mightier cap- tain for His army of light. The Zealous Persecutor Acts 9:1. "But Saul, yet breath- ing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, 2. And asked of hint letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether amen or women, he night bring them bound to Jerusalem." The reason lie would bring them to Jerusalem was to make sure that they would be put to death, for, though they might be pun- ished by scourging or in some other way in other cities, it would be only in Jerusalem that a Jew- ish convert would be condemned to death. (Saul, like the Saul of the Old Testament, was of the tribe of Benjamin, and had conte from his home at Tarsus, in .Asia Minor, to sit at the feet of the great .Jewish teacher, Gamaliel, Saul was a Hebrew of the Hebrews, equipped with an excellent Greek education, and a freed man in the Roman Empire). The Voice From Heaven 3. "And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven." Later we are told that the time of the day was "about noon" when the vision was seen and Paul says that at midday the light was "above the brightness of the sun." 4. "And he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou ale? 5, And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:" Our Lord does not call himself Mes- siah, Son of Man, or Son of God, but Jesus of Nazareth, the man who was crucified. He recalls to Saul's mind His humiliation, suf- fering, and death—all stumbling blocks to the Pharisee; for what Paul had to be taught was that resus of Nazareth was the Christ. G. "But rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do." Saul had received all that he could bear just now. Human agents, like Ananias, could finish what Jesus, by supernatural manifestation, had hero begun iu Saul. Saul's New Life "And the sten that joui•ueyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man. 8, And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, send brought him to Damascus. 9. And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink." How quickly things can change in one's life. A man can be in the glow of health one day, and be pros- trate on a bed of illness the next. Saul, this morning, was the furl• ori leader of a terrible persecu- tion. New, like a child, blind, he is led into the city. No wonder Saul neither ate nor drank dur- ing those three days, which must have meant days of storm, and +suffering, turmoil, and readjust - aunt within his strong and tenl- a»slltuoes nature. "A Chosen Vessel" 10. "Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named An- anias; and the Lord said unto him in a vieiun, Ananias. And be Bald, Behold, I sum hare, Lord." Mumble, was a Christian Jew oe Damascus. fie must have held a leading position in the local Ohristian assembly; our Lord ?sleeted him as His agent of com- ia unication when dealing with this ttew convert. 11, "And the Lord laid unto him, Arise, and go to One street which is called Straight, 'Id inquire in the house of Judas or one named Saul, a man of 'arsus: for behold, he prayeth; 12. .And he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hand on hint, that he Might receive his sight. 13. But British Soldiers Guarding Near East Pipeline Oil pipelines were strung across desert to Mediterranean outlets in both French Syria and British Palestine after World War 1, Most of Iraq's 0,000,000 -barrel annual output flows through Britain's pipes, for she has controlled and protected the wells. This oil production is nearly equal that of German-occupied Rumania; but only one-fifth of Oklahoma's (U.S,A.) Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem: 14. And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name. 15. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel: 16. For 1 will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake." These last two verses seem to bo almost a summary for the whole future history of the great Apostle, now waiting in blindness for the conn- ing of Ananias. Saul was a "chosen vessel" unto hila, The Lord has chosen you also, in ac- cordance with your preparation. For what are you preparing your- selves? Dive-bombing Sparrow Mrs. E. P. Hindrichs, of Mom - phis, Tenn., can't figure it all out, but her wire-haired terrier is fighting a losing battle with a sparrow. When the dog goes out of the house, the bird swoops down onto his back, gives the terrier a sharp pock on the tail, and then fliea away again. Several times a day for several weeks this has been going on, and each time the terrier has snapped at the bird and missed. Excessive Mental Effort Harmful It's More Likely Than Hard Physical Labor to Cause Hardening of the Arteries That excessive mental work la more likely than hard physical la- bor to cause arteriosclerosis— hardening of the arteries—and that 11101'0 diel than women suffer from that malady, were among the recent statements made by a physician connected with the Health League of Canada, ' A well-established condition ot arteriosclerosis is made apparent by the rigid and tortuous condition of the arteries which, to the touch, feel like a string of beads, said the speaker. The earlier symptoms are less definite and often are so slight as to pass unnoticed. These symptoms, he pointed out, ariso from a diminished blood sup- ply, resulting from the thickened condition ot the arteries which re- duces their inner capacity, Natur- ally, symptoms vary according to the parts of the body which are being deprived of a normal blood supply. Thus, it the arteries supplying the brain are affected, there w111 be increasing loss of memory, la• ability to sleep properly, defective- ness of judgment, irritability and d&spondency,In the aged, sufferers are restless, even delirious, during the night. During the day they are drowsy. turdening. , . ARTICLE NO. 11 There is nothing to equal the taste of vegetables that have just reached the proper maturity and are fresh from the garden, But fur too few people with plenty of Vegetable garden right at their door get the full benefit of this freshness. In most cases there aro a few meals of green peas, baby carrots and been, -new po- tatoes and corn, and that is all, Either the rows are finished or else there is nothing' left but ma- tured vegetables, which should have been eaten days or weeks 14:fore, when they were full of flavor, With a Little foresight and planning', however, these un- fortunates could just as easily have had really fresh vegetables coming on all through the Sum - ince. They could extend even the green pea season to over a month, could have fresh corn from early Summer until almost Christmas, Spreading Out Season There are two ways to achieve this objective. First, the planting season can be spread over several weeks. Experts advise making at least three sowings of practically all vegetables, the first a week or so before the regular time, the second at the regular time and the third a week or ten days later. Second, by buying early, med- ium and later maturing vane. ties still more length can be add- ed. With almost all 'standard vegetables there are varieties that are really days or weeks before the average, and also others much later, By sowing both kinds and also a medium One, the season is greatly lengthened. Garden Pictures One can do,wonders with flowers alone, bustill more amaz- ing results will follow where we combine flowers skilfully with grass, winding walks, shrubbery and bits of stonework. In this combining, however, we must take care not to reproduce a jungle. Flowers and shrubbery must not be eo crowded that they become spindly and weak. Little flowers must not be hid- den by tall things like full size ,marigolds, cosmos or zinnias. Beds must be so arranged that we can keep down weeds and remove fading foliage. Above all we must remember that unless we ars skilful it is best to use a fair amount of lawn a3 a foreground for our flowers, Lawns are almost vital in creating garden pictures.

About two-fifths of this are the red blood cells, writes Dr. Logan Clendening. They float, pretty widely separated, in the serum, but if packed down they would constitute about two-fifths of the entire volume. The rest of the blood is the plasma, or serum, which is a clear, yellow- ish fluid. A chemist estimates that in this half -bucket of blood there is dis- solved a teaspoonful of sugar and a tablespoon of ordinary table salt, and about a tablespoonful of sodium bicarbonate or ordinary baking soda. There are about six 6 -grain capsules of nitrogenous products in the blood, and about 1/100 of a grain of iodine. There is from a teaspoonful to a table- spoonful of fat. These substances are all in a state of flux and it is, indeed, a very busy chemical factory. These substances are, of course all der- ived from the food. After diges- tion they are carried to the liver -most of them—and there chang- ed into forms which the cells can utilize. Some part of them is stored in the liver and the rest released in the blood stream, Courtesy Counts An amusing story was told by au Afrikander farmer living near Cape Town, Many years ago he POP—No Credit to Either Gentleman MY W1PC- IS NEVER HAPPY WHEN I'M OUT or- UGR Slot -IT .1 xor NIkyVkittia / ,i1/,.:t was in the veld looking for cattle that had strayed when, on round- ing some rocks, he suddenly carne face to face with a big lion.

In some oases air passages in the lungs were filled with blood, but there was no sign of rupture of the lungs. • There was, however, Ir high degree of carbon -monoxide saturation in the blood. Profes- sor S. Zuckerman, of Oxford, re- ported that it has been known since the Spanish civil war that blasts of high explosives could kill or injure people without Musing external injuries. i Bow Cnn I? BY ANNE' ASHLEY 4 Q. How can I keep a house plant supplied with water, when going away for a few days? A. Soak a large sponge well with water and place it on the dirt . in the pot. The plant will absorb enough water to keep it fresh until you return. Q. How can I clean smeary ma- hogany furniture? A. First sponge with a cloth dipped in a' solution of hot water and vinegar, and then with a ' cloth dipped in a pint of warm water to which one teaspoon each of linseed oil and turpentine has been added, Follow this by pol- ishing with a sof.t, dry cloth. Q. How can prevent cauli- flower from darkening when be- ing boiled? A. Add a slice of lemon to the water. Q. Iiow should I dye a sweater? A. Remove the buttons before dyeing a sweater. Then weigh ttbe garment while it is dry. J nough dye should be bought to eolor the number of pounds the article weighs. A sweater will not take a good color with insuffi- cient dye. Q.

When a house guest has permission from her hostess to in-' rite a friend to dinner, or some other affair, by whom should, the invitation be extended? 2. What should one do .when he finds that another person's opinion is directly opposed to his own? 3. What is considered the beat decoration for any room of the house? 4. What is the correct way for a man to lift a soft hat when speaking to a girl? 5. Isn't it very unwise for a girl to write some words of en- dearment on a photograph of her- self that she is giving to a young man ? 6. Shouldn't one be grateful when a friend has pointed out to hint a very glaring fault that should be corrected? Answers 1. All '!V citations should come from the hostess. 2. Change the subject of conversation. Above all, do not argue. 3. Freshly -cut flowers, attractively arranged will outrank any other decoration, 4. The hat should bo lifted by the crown, not the brim. And above all, the hat should be lifted slight- ly, not Merely, a touch of the brim. 6, Yes; it is very unwise. She may regret it many tinges in the future, G. Yes. But, sad as it seems, resentment instead of gratitude is usually the effect,' and very often a lost friendship. Beavers Sabotage Railway Lines Beavers In Algonquin Park are sabotaging . the Canadian National Railways. So says A. Iloffman, Section Foreman at Brawny, Ont., as reported In The Canadian Na- tional Magazine. For months he has had to break up dams to pre- vent damage to railway property from floods. Ho has tried all sorts of ruses but the beavers are clever and persistent. Too clone to the railway track is their pond, 75 feet square, the work of three years. The fight goes on, HAVE • YOU HEARD? An American was defeated ig- nominiously when he ran for the office of sheriff. He got 56 votes out of a total of 3,500, and tho next day he walked down Main Street with two guns hanging from his belt. "You were not elected and you have no right to carry guns," fel- low citizens told him. "Listen folks," he replied, "a man with no more friends than I've got in this country needs to carry guns." • "Why sometimes I'm taken for my own daughter." "Nonsense! You don't look old enough to have a daugh- ter so old." • The circus and fun fair was visiting a small town, and one old Negro, had taken a fancy' to .the merry-go-round. Round and round he went, never seeming to tire, until all his money was gone. Then only did he -dismount to rejoin his wife, who had been watching hien with impatient eyes. "Well, Ebenezer," she said, "you sure have spent your money and had a good ride: But where you been, Ebenezer, where you been?" Wife: "I went in to a bar- gain sale today." Husband: "Did you see anything that looked real cheap?" Wife: "Yes, several men waiting for their wives." "What's the matter, my little man?" asked a sympathetic stran- ger of a small boy whom he saw crying in the street, "Please, sir, my dog's dead," sobbed the boy. "Nell," said the man, "you mustn't make such a trouble of it. My grandmother died last week, and l'in not crying." "No," said the boy, "but you didn't bring her up from a pup." Motor Salesman: "Can I show you something, sir?" Pedestrian: "No, l'nl not here 'to buy anything, But it's such a wonderful change to be In the midst of all these cars without having to dodge them." The Guildhall, London's fam- ous building which suffered so severely in a recent raid, received its name because it was common to all the London Guilds, the associations formed by the mer- chants in different trades to safeguard their interests.

WORTH TRYING! iNow's Best Time To Sow Potatoes Plant Them Before May 18th —Later Plantings Result In Lower Yields, Ontario Dept, of Agriculture Tests Show When is the proper time to plant potatoes? Results of experiments conducted in Middlesex and South Simcoe in. dicate that from the 18th to the 25th of May is the most desirable time to plant, says tho Ont. Dept, of Agriculture. These results are supported by similar finds at the Ontario Agricultural C o 11 e g e, Guelph, and the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, The tests showed that potatoes planted May 18th, yielded 274 bush= els of marketable potatoes per acre. Tho yield dropped to 248 bushels per acre when planted May 25th, and 224 bushels when planted June 2, Potatoes planted June 10th show- ed an average of only 198 bushels per acre. SPRAYING AND DUSTING The value of proper and consist- ent spraying has also become an established fact. Spray and dust experiments with potatoes at Ridge - town Experimental Farm for eight successive years have shown that plots thoroughly -sprayed and dust ed five times during the growing season, gave an average increased yield of .approximately 28 per cent more marketable potatoes than un- sprayed oi' undusted plots. There is no staple article of food brought into the average home that has ,greater appeal to. the housewife than good, bright, clean potatoes of a uniform size and free from bruises and disease. Warmest April Speeds Crops in Ontario Domestio Aspar- agus, Among Other Vege• tables, Was. on Dinner Tables Far Ahead of the Usual Time Ontario's wannest April in 99 years advanced the provinco's crops to such a point that some domestic products of the earth are on sale at . public markets, anywhere from two to four weeks ahead of last year. Besides relieving a feed shortage, the early season resulted in the ap- pearance of domestic asparagus, among other vegetables on provin- cial dinner tables fin' ahead of the usual time. Vegetables, as a whole, aro about a month ahead of recent years and Ontario Department of Agriculture officials are of the op- inion that this is the earliest in history such products have been available for sale and consump- tion. EARLIEST IN HISTORY? Along with asparagus, rhubarb also made R record early appear• ante and today domestic rhubarb .Is competing with the imported variety in Ontario's produce mar- kets. imported rhubarb usually held the market until after the middle of May when it retired in favor of the home-grown product. BIG BEN the famous chew for, many years „11111.1 THAT'S MY,:CHEW Lettuce, carrots and radishes are expected soon, ahead of the usual time, Grain crops in general are three weeks in advance of last year, but, according to the agriculture de- partment, farmers expect a curtail- ment of acreage in grain and cul- tivated crops because of a labor shortage, A department official said that the difference in acreage will go into hay and pasturage. FEAR OF FROST In the Niagara peninsula fruit blossoms were two weeks in ad- vance of last year but, crop offi- cials pointed out, there Is always a danger of frost so early in the season and fruit growers actually prefer to see their blooms appear later, Canadian Posters Brighten Shelters Porters of scenes in Canada including those which depict the beauties of Jasper National Park have been freely distributed to brighten the walls of First Aid Posts and rest centres in Britain. Even hospitals have received sup- plies. Nurses and Wardens found their way to the offices of the Canadian National Railways in Cockspur Street and their requests for posters hafe been promptly grant ed.
