When they pulled into the garage, Honey hop- ped out of the car promptly and ran ahead to the house. As it was very late, she went at once to her room, but not to bed. She knew now why Mrs, Riba's eyes had seethed so familiar; why they had disturbed her ever since early evening when she had met the woman. They were like Joe's, Mrs, Riba, of course, was the sister he had spoken of vaguely at times, but he had always given the impression that she lived in some foreign coun- try and that he seldom saw her. But that was like Joe -never let• ting one knot! anything definite about him or his family. She had gone around with him for months, and yet, she knew nothing tangible of his life; she could only guess, and up until recently, she had not done much of that. She had merely coasted along, intent on one thing -the diamond, and how to get her hands on it. * * "Why did he, have to conte here of all places?" `she demanded of the four walls. "\Vhy couldn't his sister live in San Diego or New York?" She walked the floor treading lightly in her stocking feet • so the others would not hear her. She must not fall into Joe's hands under any circumstances. The love he felt for her would not keep hits from being utterly cruel in trying to force front her the whereabouts of the diamond. however, he would never get the stone; she was certain of that. She would die at his hands before she would tell hint where it was, "He shall never have it!" she vowed to herself. "And he may not kill me until he does. But Joe knows ways of torturing his vic- tinte that would be worse than death. And I will be no exception." She shuddered and it was not frotn the cold, damp air which blew in front the Pacific. It was stark, naked fear of the future that sent wave after wave of shivers over her slim body. Tears came to her eyes. "I don't want to die," she sobbed and fell on the bed. "I want to clear myself with Dan, He tnuet know that I amts not a thief and believe in me once again." * * * It was nearly dawn when she finally drifted into sleep, only to be awakened again by insistent knocking on her door. She opened sleepy eyes, then.sat up startled. "Who is it?" she cried, heart pounding excitedly. "Let's go 'fishing," called Art cheerily.. "Fishing?" she repeated as if she had never heard of the sport before. "Ohl Fishing." She relaxed. "Is it time to go now?" "Sure it is," he told her with an amused chuckle.

(14 IIDA1 1llUUL LESSON By Rev. R. Barclay Warren The Boyhood and Youth of Jesus Luke 2:39-52; Mark 6:3ab. Golden Text - The child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him. Luke 2:40. From infancy until thirty years of age we have only one picture of Jesus. 13ut that one tells us all we need to know. Jesus was a real boy. Joseph and Mary travelled for one day in the large caravan before they were alarmed about his absence. Can't we hear them as- suring one another that he was with one of his chums and would join them when camp was pitched?I 1lis evident humanity is further empha- sized by the question of his neigh- bours years later, "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Sinton? and are not his sisters here with us?'; But Jesus was different, too. To attend the Passover Feast for pe first time hac. been a thrilling ex- perience for hint as it was for all boys. He was now a "son of the law." But for hint it had a deeper !malting. His understanding aston- ished the teachers of the law. His answer to Joseph and Mary when they found hint in the temple indi- cates a consciousness of a divine mission, "Did you not know that it is my duty to be engaged upon my Father's business?" * * 4' Jesus was an example even in boyhood. He went with Joseph and Mary and was always obedient to them. Much of our juvenile delin- quency can be traced to the failure of children learning to honour their parents. The child who doesn't learn to obey his parents will be a problem in school and in the social order generally. The cruel parent Is the one who fails to train up the child in the way he should go. Jesus was sinless In boyhood. Tetnpted as others he yielded not. H was the perfect life. Remote Control Two Hollywood kids were tally Jug as they walked home from school. "I've got two little broth. ers and one little sister," boasted one. "How many do you have?" "I don't have any brothers and sisters," answered the second lad, "hut I have three papas by my first mama and four mamas by my last papal" Answer to This Week's Puzzle 1.

Cl�,�ke Flicndb, allow me to inlrothicc to .you the latest addition 10 Ginger Farm. She isn't very pig as she is only two months old. She has honey -coloured hair, brown eyes, is very lively and weighs four pounds before feeding — probably five pounds afterwards. Since her entry into the family circle there has been 110 peace except when she is sleep- ing. During that blissful period we walk around on tip -toe and speak in hushed voices—at least we did until I decided she plight just as ell have her sleep in a box down in the furnace cellar. This disturber of the peace is a pure-bred cocker npanie1, no less, goes by the name of Gip, and has been with us now just over two weeks. This addition to the family was not my idea at all. It was just a brain -wave of Daughter's who has always wanted a cocker spaniel so she bought this Mlle like and sent her honkie for Mother to look after. Alter Gip arrived the fun began, rupecially when Mark, our half- grown black cat appeared on the scene. Gip was ready to meet all corners, man or beast, with a friendly greeting. Mark, of course, arched his back, spat, swore, and tan for cover every time Gip moved. Tippy, our collie, sniffed around the puppy and then his lip began io curl and he was ready to take her by the neck if we hadn't inter- vened. Such a time as I had for a couple of days, afraid to leave the three of them together and yet sure that to do so was the only way in which they would get accustomed to one another, And then, in no time at all, Gip and Mark were the brat of friends. Now they spend every waking minute wrestling and chasing each other around, although at times they will stop and both Nike a feed from, the same dish; and at night they sleep together in the rime box. * Partner says he has always mauled to sec a wrestling bout at the Maple Leaf Gardens but now be has decided he doesn't need to because he can see all the wrestling Me wants right here at home. The pup and the cat both sit up on their hind legs and then make a quick grab at each other and roll over and over. The cat goes for the pup's ears and the pup bites at the cat's tail. The cat works a tight clench by hooking her front paws around the pup's neck, making the pup paw the air with her hind legs until she eventually works herself free. Tippy is still our big problem. Naturally she is frightfully jealous and it wasn't until today that she would allow the pup anywhere near iter at all. Probably when they can both run out Tippy will find it lots of fun to have someone to run around with her. Gip is really a cute little thing. Already, she will sit up and beg, and her bright little eyes are so Intelligent you almost think she knows exactly what you are saying. Which is fortunate, because I have to say plenty, as she is very far from being housebroken. The first day she was here she more or less had the run of the house, but I salon found that wouldn't do at all —J don't need that much exercise! 9, But yet I didn't want doors shut all over the house so I got a big piece of cardboard and fitted it across the sitting - room doorway, That keeps the puppy out—much to her annoyance — and yet still leaves room for air to circulate. It is also low enough for us to step over and Mark to jump over. Oc- casionally Mark, or the pig dog, knocks down the barricade and there are a few frightened yelps and squeals but naturally, none of them is really hurt, • 4. • So that is the way of things at Ginger Farrah right now — and amid all this menagerie I had Christmas dinner. to get, the tree to decorate, last minute presents to wrap. And %what that pup didn't do when the Christmas presents and wrappings were scattered around the house after Christmas isn't worth telling. As far as I can see there will be never a dull moment around here for some time to conte, There is only one thing 1 don't like about the little tike, and that is her name—Gip. That was Daugh- ter's choice—what I would like to Pall it is "Honey"—because that's her colour and that's her nature. Famous Manuscript Comes Back Home The original manuscript of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland has spent the past twenty years in the United States. And now, as a gen- erous tribute 10 Britain by a group of anonymous Americans, it has been handed back to be kept in the British Museum. There, Mr, Luther Evans, Chief Librarian of Congress, presented the manuscript to the Archbishop of Canterbury who is the principal trustee, Valentine Selsey decribes the cere- mony as follows; "It took place in the Conference Room where the trustees hold their week -to -week meetings—in fact,. it happened just prior to one of those meetings, and, when it was over, we were hustled out of the rootn so that the meeting could proceed. 1 mention this because it is some indication of the informality of the event. "Mr. Luther Evans did not want the publicity; nor did the museum; It was, nevertheless, a great occa- sion—the return of an old friend, and a great gesture by friends overseas. Mr. Evans was not act- ing solely for himself. Others had given him support—both financial and otherwise. We heard from Mr. Baby Doll For Baby Gorilla—Santa was very good to little Sinbad, baby gorilla at the LincolnPark Zoo, 11e brought a doll for Sinhad, who seems to be very happy with Santa's choice, Evans something of the history of this manuscript. "Apparently, twenty years ago, it had comeop for auction in England. At that time, the British Museumhad tried to buy it for the nation, but the price had been too high, and an American buyer had carried the manuscript away. It went to America, and then, eighteen years later, it came on to the market again. "dr, Evans, who had just been appointed to his present job, decided to try and purchase the manuscript and to return it to England. Fit and his friends would have willingly hid up to £25,000, but the sale was clinched at £12,500. Why had they done this? Mr, Evans told us. "It was a guesture of respect for Britain, and for the British way of life. And, secondly, the manuscript should never have left England any- way. This was a case of that cul. tural plunder which all civilized nations are fighting against, and to return the manuscript was some- thing in the nature of cultural reparation. "But tvhat of the manuscript it- self? It is a very small one, written in the tiny, neat handwriting of Lewis Carroll, The illustrations are by Lewis Carroll himself, and the photograph at the end of the nhanu- script is of the original Alice for whoa the story was written. She was the daughter of a friend of Carroll, and the author dedicated the story as a 'Christmas gift to a dear child in memory of a summer day.'" New — And All Of Them Useful Pee•Wee Radio.

Island of Birds And Knitters Fair Isle is a tiny piece of British territory lying between the Orkney and Shetland Islands. It is three and a half miles long, by half that width, and about eighty people live there, with three children at- tending school. The only contact with the outside world is by a ship that puts itt once a week—when weather conditions allow. The Fair Inlanders grow their own food and catch fish but their chief source of income comes from knitting, The wool from their sheep is sent away to be spun and when it comes back, the women dye it in bright colours with dyes which they make from lichens, flowers and berries and knit it into gaily patterned jumpers of intricate design, The Fair Isle has another claim to fame. It is a stopping place for migrating birds, and trillions pass through every year. Nearly three hundred different kinds have been seen there, both common and rare ones, and several birds on the Bri- tish list have never been seen at any other point in the British Isles. Peter Scott, himself a well known ornithologist and son of the famous Scott of the Antarctic, says that when the birds migrate they fly along definite routes which they have used for hundreds of years. Fair Isle lies at an important point on one of the main migration routes, which 'goes north through Britain and then forks; one stream of birds goes on across the North Sea to Scandinavia and even further north, the other turns North -\Vest to Greenland and Iceland, making Fair Isle into an avian sort of junc- tion. Scott remarked on the extra- ordinary sense of direction that birds possess, but said that although much study has been devoted to the subject no scientific explanation of this annual miracle has been found. Fair Isle is an admirable place for studying birds because they are all gathered in a very small area, and can be much more easily seen. Now Fair Isle has been bought by George Waterson, who intends to set up an observatory to study birds and bird migration in particu- lar. Waterson visited the island regularly before the war. Last January he bought the island, and began to develop it as an observa- tory. He said that what they intend to do there is to keep a continuous record of migrating birds, and to trap and ring them so that the people who find thein later alive or dead, in other parts of the world will have a guide to the limits of their migrating. They will also study those birds that live on Fair Isle all the year round, and there will be scientific research into the plant and insect life and history of the island, so that it should be- come a valuable source of informa- tion on many aspects of natural history, Honey and Hank TABLE TALI(S eia,izAmDews During the holiday season most housewives just sort of let that old Food Budget "go hang". But now tl' . the festivities are over for an- other year a lot of us again have to keep a watchful eye on food costs, especially in homes where the growth of the family income never „'ems to keep step with that of the rising generation. So I think that probably many of you would like to have this recipe for a White Cake—plain but good— which, besides being easy to make, has the advantage that no eggs are required in its preparation. It can he served as a plain cake while warns on the day it's baked, or with sauce of some sort when cold. Plain White Cake 2 tablespoons lard or shorten- ing 11/4 cups sugar 2 cups sifted flour Grated orange rind 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking powder A cup evaporated milk CI1J1 water METHOD — Cream sugar with shortening and grated orange rind. Add milk alternately with sifted dry ingredients, beating until just nicely mixed. Bake in moderate oven — 350 deg. — for about fifty minutes, e • Recently I was talking to an old friend — one who went to school with me in a little Ontario town more years ago than either of us would be likely to confess, except on the witness stand. She asked 1f 1 remembered the PEPPERNUTS that some of the German -Canadian women used to hand out to us kids in the olden days — "PFEFFER- NUSSE" was what they called them. I certainly did remember them, and how good they tasted. More than that, I got hold of a recipe which I'm sure a lot of you may be glad to have, and to try. Here's how they're made. Peppy rnuts 4 eggs 1 poured sugar 2 ounces citron 2 ounces almonds Grated rind of 1 lemon eups flour 1 teaspoon nutmeg 3e teaspoon ground cloves One,eigh1h tta,poon Ili':k pepper. 1tETI-IOD— Iteat eggs well, and slowly add the sugar; mix and add the citron, almonds, lemon rind, flour and spices. Chill the slough, then roll about one-half inch thick and cut with small, round cutter — a small egg cup will do, or anything approximately one inch in diameter. Place on waxed paper and let stand overnight to dry. Next morning, be- fore baking, turn each cookie up- side down and put a drop of water or fruit juice on the moist spot in the bottom of the cookie. Bake at 350 degrees. The water or fruit juice tends to make the Pcppernuts "pop". Let them ripen and soften for a while, as they'll' be quite hard at first.

WIIATGOES ON 1N THE WORLD Norman filmy It isn't very often that this space swipes material, holusbolus and without attempt to disguise, from contemporaries. Or, if you insist, it's not very often that it admits doing so. However, this piece from the New Yorker magazine, seems to me such an unusual piece of writing—one that so ruthlessly pulls off the hy- pocritical mask that veils most of the world's international dealings— that, without apology, I'm quoting it 'as k.' "A couple of weeks ago, a few days before Christmas, Dutch par- achutists landed on Jogjakarta, the Indonesian capital, They seized first the airfields, then the government buildings. The operation went well and the Dutch managed to bag the Indonesian government, proving that there is always something to be learned from history by students who approach it in the proper spirit. "It is interesting to -compare the xecent Dutch opinion of the Indo- nesian government with the earlier Nazi opinion of the Dutch govern- ment. Dr. van Kleffens, the former Dutch Foreign Minister, said that the Indoesian government had lost all authority and existed only as a nldio station, We recall that when the Dutch government was In exile in London, the Germans said the same thing—said it was a shadow government'exlsting only as a pro- gram on the BBC. So much depends on Where you sit." Personally, L would name that as one of the pithiest chunks of writing o1 the year—any year. The only possible criticism I could make would be to suggest that the final sentence might be printed in capital letters. SO MUCH DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU SIT. It does Weed! United States Citizens of New York are consid- erably stirred up these days by recent revelations. of waterfront conditions that can hardly be de- scribed as anything less than "de- plorable." City authorities are now making moves designed to rescue that district from continued physi- cal breakdown, crime and corrup- tion which are seriously threatening its role as the nation's chief port. New Yorkers have long taken pride in their port with its 650 miles of piers and dockside warehouses spreading along the New York and New Jersey shores — an area through which pass almost half the exports of the entire nation, But now they are learning that there is notch that is rotten along that famed waterfront—that men have been murdered, that gangsters control the lives and destinies of thousands of workers, and that rac- keteering regularly adds a heavy toll to practically all shipments in or out of the port. These conditions, plus the physi- cal blight that has grown along the shores, are the result of years of neglect, on the whole problem of the port. If these conditions con- tinue, New York's position as the chief gateway to the new world, will be seriously endangered, Many big industrialists are already diverting overseas shipments to other ports. At all events, as said before, New Yorkers are seriously disturbed, and threaten a real "clean-up." But whether anything really practical will come out of all the agitation— well, that remains to be seen. The racketeers, at least, don't appear to be greatly agitated, as yet, Yugoslavia The Russian -run Cominfornl has just ridiculed and scoffed at the part played by the Yugoslav Parti - sane, under Marshal Tito, in the war against Germany. Some obser- t Berlin Love Triangle—Former paratrooper, Edward Lada of Newark, hitchhiked through Berlin's blockade to see his German fiancee and their illegitimate child, Nancy, two. On his arrival U.S. authorities locked him up for illegal entry of occupied zone. To further complicate matters another German claim to Lada's affectinnc. "'Interesting—very interesting—if true" just about sums up the re-. action among harness -horse falls to the announcement that a new track, to be devoted to floodlight raring, will be built not far from Toronto, Yost of those who like to watch the trotters and side-wheelers in action would undoubtedly welcome such a move. But such a track has been mooted so often in the past — and never got any further than mere talk — that the fans just won't get hotted up until it is a bit nearer reality. * * 4 While floodlit harness horse rac- ing has been a huge success south of the line—with record-breaking at- tendance and inutile! play at each succeeding meet — there's some doubt as to whether it would go over in a financially profitable plan- ner at the site proposed. For many years Toronto has been known as just about the biggest sucker town there is anywhere, so far as the running horse racket is concerned; but "Hogtown" has never taken to the harness horse game—yet it is from there that the bulk of patron- age for a track at Thornhill would have to come. * * * The chief promoter of the pro. posed track is a man who has been trying — unsuccessfully — to get Thoroughbred racing dates for the same location; so it can hardly be any really deep love for the pacers and trotters which prompts the pre- sent move, The idea would be to include Toronto in the flourishing night harness racing circuit now operating In the Eastern States, and to have pari-mutuel betting, * * * Well, maybe it will go through, Stranger things than that have hap- pened, But, speaking strictly per- sonally, we'll believe it when we see it—or rather, we'll believe that it has actually come to pass right after we've torn up our first mutuel ticket on a trotter or pacer which failed to justify the confidence we placed In it, And, just while we're on the subject, before things go too far, we trust that the powers -that -be make certain that Canadian -bred -or- -owned harness horses get a fair shake in the way of races for which only they are eligible, * * * One of these evenings some hoc- key player, possessed of more heat than brains, is going to raise his warclub and whack an opponent over the noggin so lustily that the latter will fail to respond to treatment. Then there will be a huge outcry about the brutality of the rising generation and hockey will get the biggest black eye it leas ever received — one from which it may not recover for a long, long time, * * * Now there are many who will test- ify that, so far as we are personally concerned, a certain amount of strenuosity, even roughness, has never kept us away from any ath- letic event. So long as we are safely out of harm's way, we enjoy seeing the lads mix it up with vim, vigor also vehemence, vers think that this may turn out to be one of the most serious mis- takes the Conninform has ever made. For if there was one sure way of strengthening the Yugoslav deter- mination not to take orders from Moscow, it was to play down the heroic role of Yugoslavia in over- throwing Hitler's Naziism. The latest attempt to discredit the present Communist leaders in Yugo- slavia—many of whom were also Partisan leaders in the mountains during the war — appeared in the latest issue of the official Comin- fornl journal, published in Romania. Written by Golubovic, until recent- ly Yugoslav ambassador to Roman - la, the article declares that the Par- tisans played but an unimportant part - in the liberation of their country. "The, Partisans"—one passage in the article says— "occupied Yugo- slav territory only after the advance of the Russian Army had driven away the Germans." Quite naturally, the majority of Yugoslays are enraged—and if the Russian idea, in publishing such an article, was to weaken Marshal Tito's hold on his country, it looks as though the Reds have been guilty of a very clumsy error—one that 'is likely to have exactly tht opposite effect to that Intended. LITTLE REGGIE DONT FORGET YOUR APPOINTMENT AT 3 t7CLOCK — TO NAVE YOUR TOOTH , PULLED, But there's a limit to all things. In the hands of a sturdy, free -swing- ing forward or def.nsc-man a hoc- key stick eau become lust as deadly a "-apon as any of tht' "blunt in- struments" you real about n1 the -mystery-nnu'dcr stories. Also, hoc- key is a personal -contact sport, where tempers arc liable to become frayed at the edges far more quickly than i11 games such as—say—base- hall or tennis. * * * That is why — in our humble opinion — hockey referees should keep much tighter control over what goes on, and be freer from inter- ference from club managements, than the officials in charge of other sports, And that's just what they aren't. Hockey managers and coaches argue with officials — even threaten them with the loss of their jot l in a manner which makes, for instance, baseball folks wonder just what's going on, * * * Hockey players also take liberties with the officials with far too great freedom — probably knowing that the worst that can happen to them is a small fine, which in all pro- bability some team supporter with more money than brains will defray, or a one or two -game rest on the sidelines, * s * In recent weeks we have had the sorry spectacle of one manager, of a major league hockey team, hurling charges that the paid officials of the loop were deliberately giving his club the worst of it; of a coach ac' cusing rival teams of being out to beat his club by deliberate and il- legal roughness; and of two players —Cal Gardner of Toronto and Kenny Reardon of Montreal — swinging clubs in a manner which, had their aim been as good as their ' intentions, might well have ended in a tragedy, either single or double, * * And to top it off, the Montreal coach—when one of the erring ath- letes was headed for the showers— raised the latter's hand in the style of a fight referee announcing a winner—as silly a move, probably, as was ever seen in organized hoc- key. "Quis custodiet 1psos custodes" Is about all the Latin we can re- call from our stretch—many long years ago—at Harbord Collegiate. Freely translated it might read, "If the managements can't keep from making fools of themselves, what can you expect of their players? * * * And in case you think we're mak- ing much ado over nothing, those of you with long enough memories might think back and recall the days when "Ace" Bailey lay, between life ant' death, from an injury received during a hockey match. It was touch and go for the world's fastest sport, so-called, then. It could hap- pen again; and if it does, it won't be the players who are to blame. It will be those who put "action" — the sort that pays off at the box. office, before any other consider- ation whatsoever and who — when their team Is in a slump—make the excuse that "they're not hitting hard enough."

Sure Sign Of Winter A traveling man just in irom a tour of the countryside reported to this corner the other day that the snow fences are up. Ilave been for sonic time, in fact. The snow fence is a seasonal barometer, of sorts; perhaps it Wright better be called a seasonal marker, since it does not forecast hut merely con- firms certain things about seasons two in particular—that everybody is pretty sure of already. When the snow fences go up it is a• sign not that 1vintc'r i9 on the way, just over the hill, but that winter is here, beating at the door. When they are pulled down one may be sure spring is not about to arrive in a few clays or weeks, but that spring has come and already is turning handsprings across the meadows. Oddity on the Avenue Were someone to run a snow fence down, say the middle of .Fifth venue, it is quite possible a large number of persons would not know what it was says the N. Y. Times, Many city folk might take the red painted fencing to be some new- fangled traffic control, device. But those who have lived in the open spaces where snow fences are im- portant would suspect, pardonably, that the city fathers had gone daft and they might write letters to editors on the futility of putting snow fences at the bottom of Man- hattan canons. Fence Against Wind A snow fence is not "horse high, bull strong and pig tight," as a good fence is supposed to be; but then its purpose is not to keep livestock from greener pastures, 1t exists to break the sweep of winds bearing snow, to cause the air to whirl after passing through its pal- ings and in that whirl and momen- tary pause to deposit the tumbling flakes on its lee side instead of upon the roadway a few rods dis- tant. A snow fence is not, there- fore, a true fence at'all, being simply device to create snowdrifts to windward of highways, and is called a fence for the good reason that it looki like one. The Forgotten Men TIie motorist journeying over the countryside without difficulty after a heavy snow is inclined to give silent thanks for cleared roads to the then who drive the plows—and these often deserve thanks — but he Is not likely to give thought to the sten who before the snows carne set out snow fences which may have diverted tons of snowflakes front his route before the plows went to work. Putting out snow fences—several hundred thousand feet to a district —calls for a nice discretion. Before he places a snow fence, a matt must know something of the prevailing winds; he must know where, along a stretch of road, the snow will drift If it is not checked by a fence; he mist know also where it will not drift so that he will waste no fencing. If the field where the fence is to be has been planted in wheat and if it is wet when he wants to set out a length of fenc- ing he must wait until the ground dries, for no farmer cares to see part of the crop planned for next summer being scraped from the soles of muddy boots—particularly if the boots are someone else's. Fences of Yesterday Good snow fences have nothing to do with the making of good neighbors, a function attributed by poets to other fences, such as file fast -disappearing snake f en c e, known also as the stake-and-ridzr, or Virginia, fence, The snake fence came to the end of its Lazy crawl across the landscape with the Introduction of the mechanical post - hole digger and particularly of fence -machines to shape and pierce posts, staking easier erection of the neater but less picturesque plain rail fence of chestnut or locust. As rail fences rot away they are being replaced by wire fencing, which is tighter and less trouble to set out and to keep up than are wooden sections. But in the transition something is being lost. Many trees along old fence lines owe their existence there to rail fences IN OUR TIME After All, Winter's a Good Skate WINTER stalls traffic ,on snowy hills, WInter can freeze the plumbing. Winter raises a fellow's bills, But it's nice to know it's coming! WINTER brings the cough and sneeze, Winter endangers a city. Winter makes people fall with ease, But when it comes, it's pretty l which served as elevated runways for nut -carrying squirrels and as luncheon tables for birds; front seeds and nuts dropped along the rails have sprung countless cherry trees and oaks. The use of wire fences has reduced substantially fence -line weed and briar patches which the sprawling snake fence encouraged and made available as cover for birds and small game. Farewell to the Stile It scents too bad that no one these days takes the trouble to build stiles over fences, Perhaps the end of stile -building signalled the close of an era; when people began to think they were in too great a hurry to follow a fence line to a stile but took to clambering over anywhere, the age of the stile was dead, Today if a crooked man were to find a crooked stile at the end of a crooked mile, chances are that on the far side of the stile he would see stuck on a crooked post in the field a sign reading, WARNING POSTED—KEEP OUT TRESPASSERS PROSECUTED These crooked greetings have supplanted the friendly stile every- where, and we are the poorer for it. 1 Merry Menagerie—By Walt Disney "Look, Mom—Puss In boots'!"

Cametti, two Westinghouse research engineers, have developed a machine which is so sensitive that with it the weight of a feather can be made to twist a steel bar, The twist amounts to less than one - millionth of an inch, The "twist detector"—technically known as an elastic -drift measuring machine— can detect changes in weight as small as one part in 100,000 and can measure a twist of less than one - millionth of an Inch, The development of jet engines and other powerful rotating machin- ery has brought a need for more a cc u r a t e measuring equipment. Torque -teeters or twist measures are accurate weighing devices in which a steel shaft takes the place of the spring mechanism of the standard scale. The twist in the shaft is a measure of the weight applied, and this can be detected electrically or magnetically and transmitted to meters for easy read- ing, Although the accuracy is very high—around 98.5 per cent—there are special applications where an even greater precision is required. IIence the new machine, Radium Anniversary Fifty years ago two obscure phy- sicists, Pierre Curie and Ills Polish wife, Marie Sklodowska, startled the. world with the announcement that after much chemical drudgery they had obtained front tons of pitch- blende a few grams of a substance —"radium" they called it — which maintained temperature slightly higher than its surroundings and which emitted energy. Henri Bec- querel had previously discovered that uranium, also contained in pitchblende, was radioactive. What distinguished radium was the in. tensity with which it emitted energy, The discovery that the heaviest metals such as uranium, radiutn, polonium and actinium ejected par= titles which were much smaller than atoms brought about a revolu- tion in physics. But It was not the only discovery that made it neces- sary to abandon the conception of the atoms as the smallest material particle that could combine with another. The subatomic electron had been discovered and its mass determined, There were other electric pheno- mena that conflicted with the classic atomic theory. When it was found that radium shot out the very electrons observed in X-ray tubes and also alpha particles It was neces- ary to invent a new kind of atom. Instead of the old, invisible atotn, somewhat like a minute invisible billiard ball, we now have a com- plex structure that no physicist pretends to understand. Physics was exciting in the Nineties and the early years of this century, when Becquerel, the Curies, Roentgen, E i n s t e n, Rutherford, Planck and others to whom we owe the atomic theory of today were in their prime, In this practical age science ie thought of as the handmaiden of engineering, so that it implies motion pictures, electric communi- cation, chemical processes and machines, The change In outlook caused by a great discovery like that of radium is as important as the invention of an atomic power plant, And the change in outlook has been profound since the Curies did their work, In the heyday of Victorian science a physicist rose before the British Association for the Advancement of Science to de- clare that since the universe was demonstrably au intricate, colossal machine everything would ulti- mately be found to obey mechanical laws, man included. That cocksure- ness has collapsed. The mechanical laws of nature prove to be man- made—mere statements of statistical averages. Cause and effect have disappeared in atomic physics. Terrified Rats When they are in a panic of fear, wild rats stand on their hind legs by the hour and grasp wires at the top of their cages, Even when their cages are left open, they make no attempt to escape, but stand emotion- less with noses thrust through the wire mesh, eyes fixed straight ahead, They keep this posture for months, except when they are disturbed or when they eat or drink. They may run around the cage a few tines but go right back to their awkward pose, Fear of food -poisoning is the explanation, according to Dr, Curt P, Richter of John Hopkins Hos- pital. He is the scientist who, in the course ' of psychological ex- periments on the rat's ability to taste, discovered the potent rat poison ANTU, His terrified rats were some that had survived doses of ANTU or other poisons which had made them very ill. Int later experiments, they were given a choice of eating from either of two food cups. One contained the poi- soned. food, the other the safe. The rats recognized the poisoned food, but suspected the unpolaoned food as well. This fear and suspicion caused their abnormal behavior. Tll1FMM FRONT Jo uN9u4szeil 414zectie For over a year now, from time to time this column has been point ing out the danger — to farmers especially—of not carrying enough fire insurance; or rather, I might better say, of thinking you have en- ou't when, at present replacement coats, it is not nearly sufficient. [atter of fact I think that a lot of the insurance companies—and their individual agents—have been very lax in not bringing this matter more clearly to their customers' attention. r • * So I was glad to see, in the Farts Forum Guide of January 10th., that there was an article on the same subject, and that it would be dis- cussed as well on the Fartn Forum air show, The article deals with a farmer they call Jint Davidson who, after fifteen years of hard work, had almost paid off the mortgage on his place, anil was thinking of taking life a bit easier. * * * Then, one night, lightning struck. Telephone lines were out of order because of the storm, and before help could arrive the barn was a complete loss. It turned out that Davidson had never bothered to take out any in- surance at all — trusting, like too many of tis, to luck. Now he dis- covered that it would cost him around $4,000 to build a new barn— and the whole farm, including house and barn, had cost him only $8,000 to begin with. Maybe some of you think that I keep harping on this matter too often, But if doing so will induce only one reader to take stock on liow he stands in this re- gard — well, I'm not making any apology. Now here are a few tips, culled from here and there, which I hope some of you will find of value. Poultry raisers are reminded that after leaving a pen where then are sick birds,, it is essential to change your rubbers, Neglecting to do so is taking the risk of carrying disease germs over to houses in which healthy birds are fed. This goes for visitors too. A trained veterinarian will never go from sick pens to other flocks without changing over- shoes, or cleaning same carefully. * * * Also for poultry raisers Is the re- minder that hydrated lime makes deep litter much more absorbent, and less inclined to cake. An agri- cultural experiment station recom- mends stirring lime into the litter at the rate of 10 or 15 pounds per 100 square feet of floor space. You can also use a rate of one pound per littler. Even if poultry feed supply and prices may be a bit more favorable than in the past, keep on culling, Low producing hens are expensive boarders, so get rid of them as poul- try meat. If a hen won't pay for feed with eggs, get rld of her for what she'll bring. * * * It's the little things --the things so easy to overlook — that makes a farm, according to statistics, one of the moat dangerous places there is to live on. For example, the farmer is probably the "climbingest" person on earth. Yet he takes less care of his climbing equipment than most anyone else, in spite of the fact that falls are the Number One type of farm accident. And there's no real necessity that this should be the case—trot if you'll do these things. Keep your ladders ' in good repair at all tithes; build barn ladders so that you can get a secure footing on each and every rung; extend permanent ladders at least four feet above the level of the loft floor; build ladders so that you can grasp the side rails instead of the rungs; keep ladders and stair- ways clear of hay and other materials; and build a guard rail around all ladder and stair openings. * * I don't get around to tips for the ladies very often, but here's one which may save trouble for those of you who have washing machines. Cold weather calls for special care of this sort of household equipment. Bring the washing machine into a warm room for a few hours before starting it going—or else let the tu' stand full of warm water for an hour before beginning to wash. This warms the grease of the motor. And don't forget that hot water poured on very cold porcelain may easily crack the enamel. • *• * City folks are given to complain- ing about the high prices of things like bread and milk — and maybe they have reason for so doing, but they shouldn't put too much blame on the "grasping" farther. If farm- ers gave to consumers all the wheat needed to make bread FREE OF CHARGE It. is,said that.the saving would amount to something less than three cents a loaf. * * * And here are a couple of quotes which maybe you haven't seen be- fore. "They're still looking for the perfect tax—the one that's paid ex - elusively by the other fellow."—and "Lots of people can hear a rattle is their cars far quicker than one la their heads", Which should be about enough for Just nowt Queer Cases Law courts, at times, have some queer cases to decide. In a recent issue of the ,New York Time,, Harold Helper outlines a few that are really out of the ordinary. A Boston Man for pelting Ilia estranged wife with chocolate eclairs. * * * A Pittsburgh man for attempting to force a golf ball into his wife's tnouth so she would not scream when he beat her. * * * A New Haven woman for can- ing a judge "a fat Republican," * * * A St. Petersburg invalid for re- fusing to yield the right-of-way and crashing his wheel chair into an automobile. * * * A Kenosha man for driving his truck into a tavern to get his wife who had been obstinate about leaving. * * * Two Spanish-American war vet- erans for fighting a duel with canes over a woman. * * * A Brooklyn man for %throwing a bull fiddle at another during an argument. * * * A Chicago man for uncoupling the coaches from the engine when he couldn't find a seat on a train. /ARE YOU DISCOURAGED\ because you suffer distress from �riodieFEMALE COMPLAINTS which makes you NERVOUS HIGH-STRUNG on such days?
