Farmers, gardeners, fruit grow- ers and tree planters will not be very happy about the proposal of the Ontario Government to limit the game bag on 'cottontails, To the hundreds of thousands of people who come in any of the classes mentioned, rabbits are regarded as a serious pest, about in the saint category as field mice, They do enormous damage and if not kept down by continuous hunting they wilt do still more. Almost every winter literally mil- lions of young trees and shrubs are destroyed by these pests despite con- siderable money and time spent on special measures. Even on the out- skirts of our large cities they do a lot of damage. No exhaustive and expensive sur- vey is necessary to determine the destructiveness of the common wild rabbit.

Vermeer was guest artist on a cartoonist show. HRONICLES %INGERFARM Gwondoltme.larke Last week we were colder in the house than we had been in years. Day after day icy winds battered themselves against our doors and windows, penetrating the house even against storm doors and window protections, What it would have been like without thein, dear only knows, It is at such times that I wonder how people in pioneer days ever carte through the win- ters. It isn't much good trying to describe it—only experience can make anyone realize what a stormy day in the country is really like. Even at that memory is short- lived. For instance, one of our neighbours was in town looking after an ailing sister, It was a day when visibility was reduced to 100 feet, and this neighbour, although she knew it was storming, had no idea what it was really like until she got home at supper time and found her way' blocked from the garage to the house by huge drifts across the lawn. But now the weather ]las chang- ed—a warm wind has been blowing all day, Snow is packing and little rivulets are running under and through the snow, The house is draughty but reasonably warm, so we can forget all about the stormy weather until the next big blow, Ex- cept that I can't forget it quite so easily—not with a batch of chil- blains that are just about driving me crazy! And I haven't got enough courage to try the ,Spartan cure which some folk advocate—to run barefoot through the snow. Every time we get a cold spell I wonder why so many farm houses are built with main door opening directly into the diningroom or kit- chen, Of course there is generally a front door opening on to a hall but in the country no one uses the front door anyway. Even so, the hall eventually leads to one of the main rooms. Now why couldn't the hallway lead right through from the front door to the back door, with rooms opening out from either side of the hall? That way direct draughts would be eliminated as it would not be necessary to have one room lead into another as they do now. (We have six doors in our diniitgrooml) Innagine rootns with only one door—no draughts blow- ing through at all, For conveniece there could be an extra outlet from CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 8, Artificial language 4.

WITH an estimated oil reserve of 1,100 million barrels and re• serves 6,000 billion cubic feet of natural gas in the Province of Al- berta, Canada is in the midst ot the greatest oil and natural gas de. velopment in her history, according to S, W, Fairweather, rice president ot research and development ot the Canadian National Railways. The Alberta district, Mr. Pair. weather says, Is today one ot the most active areas of oil exploration In the western hemisphere, with Edmonton the "oil capital" of north, western North America. A concise, chronological report on the Canadian oil development, complete with maps and charts has just been issued by the Canadian National Railways. In "The Geog• raphy of Oil and Gas in Western Canada," Mr. Fairweather traces the development from the first oil discovery •in the Turner Walley in 1914 up to the present unprece• dented activities. Mr. Fairweather fixes the 'be, ginning ot the present Canadian oil "boom", to the discovery ot light oil near Leduc, 18 miles south of Edmonton, in 1947. In less than a year, developments proved the presence ot a major oil field ex. tending from Leduc across the North, Saskatchewan River to the Woodbend district. Up to the end ot 1949, drilling in this field alone bas Indicated a reserve ot 850 united barrels tit oil and 500 billion cubic feet ot natural gas. • Since the Leduc discovery, the railway economist declares, oil of a similar quality - has been found "almost all around Edmonton"; at Joseph Lake, Whitemud, Golden Spike, Barrhead, Don Accord and Redwater, The Golden Spike dill• covery well be remarkable for a thickness of oll•bearing formation that exceeds 600 feet. The Red, water Held, with an indicated re, serve of 500 million barrels, is the largest oil pool yet discovered in Canada. - Pincher Creek, south of Calgary, has the deepest . succesatul well ever drilled is Canada. It was re- cently brought into production at 12,600 feet with a record potential of 83 million cubic feet of wet gas per day. The Lloydminster held, situated astride the Alberta•Saskatchewan boundary, which came into produc- tion in 1943, still constitutes the largest known reserves of heavy oil In Canada. Exploration is .now spreading Into the sedimentary areas of Brit. ieh Columbia, Saskatchewan, Mani. tobe, and northern Alberta, Mr. Fairweather says. 011 In quantity was recently discovered by Imperial 011, Ltd. at Normandville, 80 miles south of Peace River and 210 miles north ot Edmonton. The oil developments of the past three yehrs have saturated the oli market ot western Canada and out- lets must now be found farther afield, Air. Fairweather declared: To this end, he says, a pipe line is being built laid from Edmonton to Regina and title, line will be ex- tended to Superior, Wise.\ at the head of the Great lakes. UNIIAY SCIlOOl, LESSON By Rev, R, Barclay Warren THE CHURCH IN ROME Romans 171, 7-12; Acts 28:14b-*$, 30-31. Golden Text; I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for It Is the power of God unto salvation to every one that belleveth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek, —Rom. 1116, Paul was commissioned of God to carry the light of the Gospel to the Gentiles. His first head- quarters was Antioch, the hub of Syria. Then it was Ephesus, the center of operations in Asia Minor and eastern Europe; and finally, Route, the metropolis of the world. Route was capital of the last great world empire. Its mighty armies even conquered Briton, But the power of Route did not daunt Paul for the message of the Gospel of Christ was more powerful yet. It would not destroy but save every- one who would trust in Christ. Paul was unashamed of such a Gospel. Ile longed for the oppor- tunity of placing its banner at the heart of the empire. Paul did not know that he would go to Ronne as a prisoner, When a group of Christians learned of his coining, they went down the road about forty miles to meet him; "Whom when I.'auI saw, lie thanked God, and took courage," The thoughtfulness on the part of the little band in Rome did much to help Paul. if we would just re- member that little acts of kindness can have great significance, we would do more of then, Paul had written in his letter to the Romans, "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God", 8;28. Now he had a chance to prove It, He was allowed his own hired house where Hen Adopts Guinea PigsBettyJane Robb kneels down to feed her motherly pet hen who is a busy biddy these days, The hen has adopted 20 full-grown guinea pigs and treats them as she would her own brood of chicks, he could receive all who came. He preached the Gospel, Later he wrote front prison to the Church at Phil- ippi, "I would ye should under- stand, brethern, that the things which happened unto Mt have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; so that my bonds are manifest In all the palace, and In all other places; and many of the brethern in the Lord, waxing con- fident by my bonds, are Hutch more bold to speak the word without fear," You can't lose, being a Christian, Piddling with music—During the first rehearsal of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at Tel -Aviv, Israel, Conductor Serge Koussevitzky, left, and screen star Edward G.

A Railway Line Run By Childen One of the world's most popular railroads doesn't connect any cities, has only a single track, and rents little more than two miles. , Yet, despite these disadvantages which would bankrupt any other line, hundreds of persons, including visitors from all over the world, flock every day to its stain terminal on Szechenyiltegy hilltop above Budapest to take a ride. On the Hungarian railroad called Uttoro Vasut, Pioneers' Railroad, in Eeng- lish, the employees, rather than the right-of-way, ,account for its popu- larity. Prospective passengers uuy their tickets, which cost one forint (about 10 cents), from a yottng lady who still counts stuns higher than five on Iter fingers, While waiting for the next train, they peer through the windows of the dispatcher's of- fice to watch• a freckle -faced lad wearing his first pair of long trousers, part of a spruce blue -gray uniform, tap out messages on a telegrapher's key. On the platform, the stationmaster, a pigtailed blonde, signals the train to start. Budapest's children's railroad, which opened in 1947, is run en- tirely by youngsters between the ages of nine and 14, Boys and girls alike, they handle every job—sell- ing tickets, working as'conductors, telegraphers, and stationmasters; operating signal towers, coupling and uncoupling locomotives and Cars, and even selling candy and souvenir post cards aboard the train. The only adults besides the pas- sengers, are the men who drive the two blue -and -white Diesel -powered locomotives and a patients soft, spoken man named Ferenc Nemeth, who keeps a fatherly eye on the "employees." A veteran of 14 years on the Hungarian tailways, Nemeth says the children are the best workers he's ever seen. The locomotives and cars, rough- ly two-thirds of standard size, are exact replicas of full-sized trains, tight down to baggage racks and high-pitched whistles. 'There's a pic- nic ground at the end of tine wood- ed, scenic, two -utile route. Burapcst children try out for jobs on the railroad by attending two weeks of classroom training during which they learn all the fundamentals of railroading—teleg- raphy, signals, mechanics and ticket selling. There's also a poet office at each of the three stations along the line, so the children are also taught how to sell stamps and di- rect letters. Only the best students get jobs on the railroad. They work six hours every day for a month, get- ting their lunches free, Their jobs change every day, so that each child gets all -found knowledge of the line's operations. They also learn how to use and respect authority; today's stationmaster may be to- morrow's candy merchaint. Cow Towels Progressive dairymen wash the udders attd teats of their cows with warm water before milking, A ster- ilized cloth towel is used to dry the udders. Despite thia precaution bacteria are carried from cow to another. Individual paper cow tow- els used once only reduce this chance of spreading infection. The cellulose cow towel is made from special wood pulps and chemicals. It remain strong when wet, and it is soft and lint -free. Bees Great Part In Flower Pollination Flowers did not appear till some 150,000,000 years ago, At that time beetles were the only pollinating insects, The modern descendants of these original flowering plants—the mag- nolias and their relatives—are still pollinated by beetles, The mugno- las are composed of numerous, spirally arranged, colorless petals, stamens and seed -bearing organs, Unlike bees, beetles do not slick to one variety of plant. Probably the earliest flowering plants were insufficiently pollinated and prob- ably they did not reproduce abund- antly, All this changed when bees ap- peared at the beginning of the 'Ter- tiary period, about 60,000,000 years ago, Bee pollination is more effi- cient than beetle pollination. With bees doing the pullating, flowers tended to develop petals in the form of •a deep tube or cup, with nectar stored at the base. This relieved the plant of the burden of producing excess pollen and num- erous stamens, the flower's pollen - bearing organs. Since bees habitu- ally land on flowers when they suck nectar or gather pollen, the flowers tend to forst the lower petals into a long Hp to serve as a "lauding platform," The color of the flowers was af- fected too, Bees can sec blue or yellow, but they are color-blind for red. ),lost flowers that attract bees, therefore, are some shade of blue or yellow or a mixture of these two colors. So the appiarancc of many Iluw- ers today (color, shape and sym- metry of petals and number of sta- mens) is an evolutionary adapta- tion. Plants developed tubular flow- ers, reduced the number of stamens and concealed nectar at the base, where it is available to the long - tongued bees but not to the beetles. The tubular petals carried out a screening process which gradually eliminated the visits of beetles to many flowers and favored the visits of bees. Use Live Steam As A Cooler Use of live steam to cool fresh vegetables sears a paradox, but the method, based on well known physical laws ingeniously applied, has been used commercially 'by California lettuce shippers for more than a year and tested by the De- partment of Agriculture. Vege- tables can be cooled even after they have been packed in plastic bags. Bulk containers of vegetables are placed in an airtight metal chain - 'bet and the loading opening is a sealed I-Iigh-pressure steam creates a vacuum and sucks the air out of the cooling chamber, Water evapor- ates from the surface and tissues of the vegetables. Changing the water from the liquid to the vapor form requires heat, This is drawn front the vegetables within the chamber and results in their quick cooling. JITCER TABLE TALKS eia,e,nmarws Back in 1907 it ratan went to Washington as Senator from Min- nesota. His name was Knute Nel- son, and his favorite eating was bean soup, 1.1e liked bean soup every weekday and Sundays as wet; and when he found that the Sen- ate Restaurant didn't serve this deli- cacy, he made a terrific squawk. So before long it appeared on the Menu. What's more, it has been ap- pearing there every single day for almost 34 years, just because • thousands of others, besides Mr, Nelson, went for it in a big way. "Famous Senate Restaurant Bean Soup" is the way it's always listed; and it has probably been eaten by more noted people than any other single dish, Perhaps you'd like to know how to make it. here is the recipe as handed out by Paul Johnson, the restaurant's head waiter for half a century, FAMOUS BEAN SOUP 3 lbs, small navy pea beano 1 t/ lbs. smoked ham hocks 1 onion 4 quarts water A little butter Salt and pepper M1:'1'1101): Take three pounds of small, navy beans, wash and run through hot water until the beans are white again.

ONTARIO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT TOLL RECORDED ALLT!ME NIGH IN 1949 URGENT APPEAL IS MADE FOR WHOLE -HEARTED PUBLIC AND PERSONAL CO-OPERATION TO CUT TRAFFIC LOSSES iN 1950 In deaths and injuries on Ontario streets and hi ghways,,1949 proved to he the worst year in the history of the Province. Despite the fact that the intensive and maintained campaign for safety by the Department received generous support and co-operation of the press, the radio, the schools, the police, many service clubs, safety organizations, the operators and drivers of commercial vehicles and many thousands of citizens, the toll of tragedy reached an all•tlme high. HERE 15 THE 1949 RECORD Motor vehicles registered In Ontario 969,368 Tourist vehicles recorded 4,300,000 Persons kilted 830 . Persons lniured 17,469 Property damage $9,531,659 THE PICTURE IN 1950 '"" In 1950 there will he in operation on Ontario highways one million motor vehicles owned by Ontario residents. There well be more tourist vehicles in the Province than ever before. Traffic will be much heavier, and inure chances of accidents will exist. Estimated motor vehicles in 1950, 1,030,006 Estimated drivers licenses in 1950, 1,330,000 " Estimated tourist vehicles in 1930, 5,000,000 Unless the Ontario public takes this problem of highway safety seriously to heart and everyone sets out to cut down this mounting scale of accidents, it is possible that in 1950 the death toll may reach a new shocking figure, with the number of persons .injured keeping pace. With these facts in view, It behooves every man and woman, young and old, to make It a personal objective to establish and maintain safety, and to preach it at all tithes to schools, families, drivers and acquaintances.. The Department of I-lighways is devoting all its energies to a continuous planned attack on accidents. The earnest teamwork of all citizens and organizations is tee quested. It is a common cause that all of us can aid for the general good. GEO, H.

SPLORT SIXl3iTC'I' IC A lot of color went out of the National Hockey League when big Babe Pratt skidded or was shunted -you pays your money and takes your choice which -to the minors. Babe was born 10 or 15 3 ears tog late. fle believed that hockey was fun, rather than big business. He thought that discipline was a word in the dictionary, and that home or your hotel.room was soniewhere to go when every other place leas dosed. ., * * All of which was quite out of place under present-day conditions. Still, you neve- were in any doubt as to whether it was the big guy in person, or just a reasonable lac- simile, that was out there on the ice; and that's a lot more than we can say for a whole heap of highly pnhlicized modern stars, * * *. So it. will Ise good news to thou• ands wlio still. have fond niemories of The Babe to learn that he is still in hockey to'a large extent, and not doing any too badly, at that. When thinner Kenny McKenzie, of the New Westminster Royals, announced, at the start of the pres- Merry M enagerie-By\\ alt Disney) .,,.. 1' 0.� '1'i JIvth.Q.'N" wow n.*.m � "Because l: got sick of nothing but stripes, stripes, strlpeal" eft season, that he was going to tike a chance on Pratt as coach, there was considerable head-shak• to put it mildly. Even his best friends and sincerest admirers doubted whether the fun -loving 1'ahe lvould come through. 13ut, up to now, Nit. Kenzie hasn't any regrets as it took Pratt just a few weeks to lead his club into first place in the Pacific Coast Hockey League's northern division — ano they've been up there ever since. * * k Not only do the Royal, lead the standings by a tidy margin, hut, according to coast observers, their precision passing is a treat to \vatch —about as close to that of the New 1 ork Rangers, in their balmy days, as you are liable to see anywhere. * Babe was always a hit of a gambler, and right from the start of the season, he has had unusual , success in pulling his goalie out of the nets in the closing moments ot a tight game, 13ut a couple of his chance -taking stunts in recent con- - tests had the fans really talking to .themselves. For instance, in a game with Portland not so long ago, the' Nee Westminster goal tender utas hit by the puck, and had to retire to the dressing room for minor repairs. The final period still had seven minutes to run at the time. There was the usual "time-out' called to await the return of the goalie -but Pratt couldn't see any reason for such a delay. ("Maybe he had a heavy date and was al- ready late for it," one Eastern ob- server commented, but that, of course, is merely surmise). * * * So, out to guard the nets he sent one of his forwards -minus any goal -tending equipment -and what is more, he got away with it, the substitute holding the Portlands off the score sheet for the balance of the period. 4 4, * More recently still -in Vancouver this time—Pratt pulled an even more incredible stunt. Midway through the final period, Vancouver had a 5-2 lead. When a Vancouver player received a five-minute pen- alty, Pratt sent his goalie to the bench and brought in ail extra for - -- By Narold Arnett BOOKCASE FASTENER PREVENT CHILDREN FROM TAKING BOOKS FROM SHELVES WITH IECE OP LIGHTWEIGHT FRAIN HELD ACROSS RONT OF BOOK CASE WITH SNAP FASTENERS.

New Westminster ,cored once, and Vancouver didn't get a single shot at the open Royal net. * * * With two and a half minutes to gc., Royals were still behind, 5-3, Once again Pratt told his goalie to go take a sitdown, and Vancouver promptly banged one into the un- guarded twine, making it 6-3, - * * * Babe and his pals took the re- verse in stride, The goalie stayed otf. \Vith only 49 seconds remain- ing, Royals scored to make it 6-4. With 23 seconds left, they scored again, making it 6-5. And with but five seconds remaining, they notched still another, salvaging a (1-6 tie out Of a game which ap- peared to be hopelessly lost. _ * 4 * In other 11 o1'ds, 1n the space of just 44 seconds, the Royals scored three tinges against one of the best clubs on the Pacific Coast. More than that, they did it with Pratt himself and lieu Ullyot, one of his star forwards, sitting out miscon- duct penalties. * * e Sounds as though the 13abe- 0 hen he's finally washed up with hockey- might do well to move 3011111 and try Ills hand at directing some of those movie thrillers. ,And t''e'd he trilling to bet that he'd show those Hollywood folks a lot of shift action --and even speedier fun—even if he never did win an Academy Award.

So the BREEDING STOCK BE - 1 -1 IND YOUR CI-IICKS SHOULD 131: AT LI;AS'1' 'I'iIAT 600 D. Look at it this way. If good, straight -run chicks cost you only three cents apiece more than ordin- ary ones, then a good pullet chick costs you only a little over six cents more than a common one. '!'hat charges her both for the extra cost of the cockerel that comes with her, and the higher price of chicks that die. * , * If eggs are selling for only thirty- six cents a (107..10) - three cents apiece -she needs to lay only three extra eggs to more than cover her extra cost. ALL SHE LAYS BE- YOND THE FIRST THREE ARE ALMOST CLEAR PROFIT. * * * Another thing to bear in mind is • this: it's not only 1 -IOW MANY eggs you get, but WHEN you get them, that makes money for you. Here are some narks well worth shooting for: Month Eggs per Eggs per "Hen Pullet Sept ember 12 14 October 10 .06 November 8 17 December 8 17 January 11 17 February, 11 17 March 14 38 April 15 I8 May 10 18 June 16 17 July 15 10 August 14 J5 Total 150 200 Now, here are some hints you ntight find worth while. A high death rate can push up your costs of raising laying pullets as much as twenty to forty cents per bird. Aim at saving 98 out of every 100 chicks your brood. Here's how Clarence Moore, for example, holds his mor- tality down. * * First, he cleans his brooder house thoroughly --- scrubs it with lye water, and hoses it out with clear water. . He starts his brooder stoves at least 24 hours before the chicks ar- rive, to make sure the -toves are working right. Moore uses a .0110-otcdicated mash to prevent coccidiosis, feeding it according to directions. If disease does break out, he switches to one of the stronger sulfa preparations (sulfaguanadine, sulfanlethazine, Sulfaquinoxline) drinking water. Cutting your fuel and labor costs 16 a big help too, For 500 chicks, try and do your brooder house chores in one hour per day; in one and a half hours for 1,000 chicks; and in two and a half hours for 2,000. If you brood only a few chicks, a coal-fired stove will give you the cheapest fuel cost. If you want to save on hired labor, or on your own time, an "automatic" fuel -oil, gas, or electricity --may be worth the higher cost, 1f you brood many chicks, hot water heat may be the best for you, It costs the most to install, but it's the cheapest to operate, both in fuel and labor. Regardless of what fuel you use, an insulated, draft -free brooder house will cut your fuel bill. You can save labor by brooding in large Tots in large pens. The Berry Brothers brood as many as 10,000 chicks in a single hot -water- -heated room, using automatic feed- ers and automatic running water. Unless they have had an out- break of disease, they raise three broods of chicks on the saute lit- ter, 13uilt-up litter ,stays dryer. it actually develops some feed value, as the bacteria in it create vitamin Bt2, or something like it. * * * The right sorts of feeders mall} save feed. Aim at raising broilers (up to 12 weeks) on three and a half pounds of feed for each pound of poultry. It's not the feed your birds eat tthat costs you money, The feed the birds waste is what runs up your feed bill. Leslie Norton cuts down this cost by using four different - sized feeders. He starts out by feeding on egg flats for three or four days. 'Then he uses a chick -size feeder. At threc weeks he switches to a huger size, and 'to a still larger feeder at six weeks. George Roche has found clod doesn't pay to fill chick feeders more than half full, 1f you put more in then!, the wasted feed will cost you more than the extra labor 01 filling the feeders oftener. * * * Aitn at cutting your rearing loss. es. A good mark to shoot for is saving 97 out of every 100 pullets you start on range. As simple a thing as picking the right day to move your pullets to range can slake a lot of difference in death losses. Donald Crooks found he had more coccidosis when he put his birds on wet range, Now he waits for dry weather, and save more birds. He won't vaccinate in rainy weather for laryngotracheitis, bronchitis, or Newcastle disease, either. Many a yles o choose from. Direct rom fac ory to you. See tar or near.

It is with pride, mingled with wonder and no little atnuse- mesnt, that one reviews the story of the opening celebration, as It is re- corded in the old china illustra- tions, The celebration began at Buffalo, the junction of the canal and Lake Erie, continued at each little hamlet and city along the banks, cultninat- ing at last in a blaze of glory and patriotism as the waters from the Great Lakes were mingled with the Atlantic in New York harbor. No resplendent Doge of Venice, stand- ing upon the prow of his gayly be- decked Bucentaur and casting the jewelled ring into the waters of the Adriatic, thereby symbolizing the marriage of Venice to the sea, was ever more proud than was Governor Clinton as, standing upon a primi- tive canal boat draped with the Stars and Stripes, he poured a barrel of Lake Erle water into the Atlantic Ocean thereby accomplishing the union of our West and East. The first illustration presents a view of the harbor entrance of the canal at Buffalo, with sail boats In the bay, low warehouses on the dock, and a packet boat upon the canal, which sailors are tying to the wharf , , . With something akin to awe, one listens to the sound of that reverberating cannon shot, which fired at Buffalo and repeated in succession by cannon stationed along the entire length of the canal, proclaims in one hour and 20 minutes to the people of New York City that the little fleet is under way. Four gaily bedecked horses then proudly prance along 1111•111 111111 • II •1111111 •• III He's Laughing Out Loud (At the Drop of a Buck) Dick Collier, who is probably the world's only professional laugher, started in business with a guffaw and worked Itis way clown to a titter, And today, at the drop of a buck, Ire's ready to titter, giggle, snicker, guffaw, shriek, howl, snort, chuckle, gurgle and other- wise convulse hitnself for all corn- ers.

Doesn't it make you laugh? Sure, k does. So why shouldn't 1 cash in on. It?" secondly, he's a happy character. He traces his happiness to the war, when he was badly hurt. For a time, there was some question of his coating out of it all right. But • he did.-• "I found out that just being alive," he says, "Is the most won- derful thing. So now I get a kick out of a rainy day." During the war, he'd been a one-man show for Arniy special 'services. He spent 17 months in Persia, giving shows at retnote lamps. He'd play the piano, sing songs, tell jokes and look funny. The GI's liked him, When he was discharged, he de- elded to give show business a whirl, despite the fact that he had spent five years at Boston College. studying psychology. He built his Dick Collier—He laughed the best paid laugh ever laughed, act around his laugh, a piercing shriek that had been a big hit with the boys in service. He studied laughter, and devel- oped a routine that encompasses (he says) more than 200 different kinds ranging from the thnid laugh (used "when the little woman Is- sues her orders for the day") to the . shaking laugh ("peculiar to pleasingly plump people"). A Broadway producer hired him to sit in the audience of ' a new nntsical comedy and laugh in the right places, His laughter made others laugh, and the play became a hit. Then comedians took up the idea, and Collier made a nice living laughing in radio studios, night clubs and theaters. But his code of ethics makes hint refuse to laugh unless some- thing is funny. On one television program, Col- lier-got ol•lier-got paid $100 for laughing for Ave- seconds. He says that's the best -paid laugh ever laughed. That one helped him develop what he calls his crowning achieventent— the .last laugh. the tow -path drawing the canal boat, Seneca Chief, which bears Govennor Clinton and his associates followed by the canal boats Super- ior, Cotntuodore Perry and Buffalo, At the end of the procession is Noah's Ark, from the "unbuilt City of Ararat," having on board a bear, two eagles, two fawns, birds and fish, besides two Indian boys in na- tive costume—all taken along to gratify the cariosity of the effete New Yorkers in regard to the wild West.

BOUFORI) I TM Cigarette Lighters—A Milestone In History of Conquest of Darkness Most people don't realize what a wonderful thing the modern cigar- ette lighter is. It is almost a magical trick, when you conte to think of it. You whip out . a little metal gadget, press the top, and a flame appears for your cigarette. This familiar, everyday gadget, which we casually urge and take for granted, represents an interesting milestone in the long history of the conquest of darkness by Man. Strangely enough, the most pri- mitive methods of illumination were still in use150 years ago, and the tremendous acceleration in the dis- coveries which led to the modern forms of gas and electric lighting corresponded with the Industrial Revolution. Even the Eddystone Lighthouse was maintained by candles at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Oil lamps of various kinds ap- pear to have been used, roughly, from. the year 2,500 B.C,; lamps of hollow stone or sea -shells have been found in many parts of the world. The Greeks and Romans knew almost as nisch about light- ing as was known in the eighteenth century, We know how primitive Man pro- duced fire by rubbing flints and sticks together, An ancient Per- sian legend describes its discovery. "A great hero named IJushenk hurled a mighty stone at a snake, The snake escaped,, but the stone struck a rock. Light shone through the dark pebble, the heart of the rock flashed out in the quarry, and fire was seen for the first time in the world." Inventive processes in the mind of early Matt are difficult to trace, but it is easy to imagine a cave - dweller watching a twig or fibre burning in fat dropped from a roast - Ing carcass and proceeding from that observation to build a primitive ' lamp. The production of fire by striking a flint in such things as the tinder -box and flintlock rifle came very much later, Various kinds of oil lamps have been used in the intervening years, but the first recorded use of illu- mination by gas dates back to 1763, when a man nand Spedding, who loved near Lord Lonadale's coal- mines at Whitehaven, piped coal gas to his offices, where he used k for illumination, He tried to obtain permission to build gas re- servoirs to light' the streets of his village, but this was refused by the local magistrate, Early experiments in gas illumina- tion were extremely pritnitive, of course; the burners themselves were simply iron tribes with holes pierced in them, and the slightest obstruc- tioln or rust resulted In a dim, over- cooled flame. The discovery fell into hands of a financial "tycoon," as we should now call him, named Winsor, He was not particularly ecrupu- fous about the claims he tnade for his discovery, When a newspaper man asked hien whether it would be dangerous to take a lighted candle Into a room fall of coal pe, he replied that the gas would not ignite because "it is intermixed with the air of the room.'! Asked whether it was harmful to the lungs, he replied, "Not in the least! On the contrary, it is more congenial to our lungs than vital air (oxygen), which proves too strong a medicine, because it only exists from one-fifth to one-fourth in the atmosphere, whereas inflam- mable air exists above two-thirds in the animal and vegetable king- doms, in all our drink and victuals. It forms a part of ourselves." Despite these sliady beginnings, the Pall Mall was illuminated by gas five years later, and, by 1811, several large cotton mills were lit by this method. A year earlier, Sir Humphrey Davy demonstrated the electric arc between two carbons to the Royal Institution in London. Electric lighting developed at a slower pace than gas. New kinds of improved gas -burners were introduced, and in 1885—after an interval of over a hundred years—Carl Van Wels• bach invented the incandescent gas mantle. It was he, tun, who discovered that cerium and iron fused together resulted in a hard substance which emitted a brilliant spark on being struck with a wheel. Ile thus pro duced the first "flint" But it is important to remember that this substance bears no relaion to the genuine flints, the geological depo- sits used in the tinder -box and flint -lock rifle. It was not until the First World War that the flint was incorport ated in a primitive form of cigar- ette lighter consisting of • braided tow enclosed in a aniall metal cylinder (sometimes a cartridge - case). This was surmounted by a fine-toothed wheel and flint. Friction between the two pro- duced a spark, and this ignited the tow, which when blown upon, created a red glow sufficient to light a cigarette. From this oeveloped the modern cigarette lighter, though some years passed before the cigarette lighters were perfectly satisfactory and could he accepted as a respectable ntecha"ical gadget. Easy Money An American had an invitation to a private shunt. Addressing the old gamekeeper, he said: "l'in one of the crack shuts itt the States, To- morrow you will he loading for me, and for every bird I rniss I'II give you a shilling." The following evening the game- keeper met a friend and told hint the story. "If l'd had another blank cart- ridge," he said, "I'd have made just a pound." afWassemovams ;.• t.itiiij;: r� j-11111*;.. ;, 1 1 1 1 ; '. 1,+t 1.1. Midget Mummy Up For Exams—Ivan P.
