"Say that once more, Blake.

had gotten an open confession front
Joe Blake, A confession that now
confirmed a Tong -held suspicion that
had been augmented by certain
subtle remarks dropped by Judge
Anders. \Vebb had baited Joe
Blake into telling the truth. Blake
had killed Ed Young. Blake' and
Ab Abbot had murdered Bob And-
erson. Judge Anders had hinted at
those facts tonight. But Judge
Anders had kept Webb at his house
for some reason. \Vas that reason
Mae?
Webb Winters was not a ratan
who angered quickly. But now, as
he walked down the dark road to
the edge of town, he was gripped
by a fury that tensed his every
nerve, tightened his every muscle.
He was breathing hard through his
nose as he opened the door of Judge
Anders' cabin.
The big arm chair was vacant.
Judge Anders' pipe lay on the table.
The whisky bottle stood there be-
side the chair, half emptied, The
judge's hat was gone front its peg
on the hall tree. The house was
empty.
Webb stood there, puzzled, be-
wilderment in Itis eyes. Then he slid
his six-shooter a little forward in
the waistband of his trousers. He
went outside, closing the door be-
hind hint. With a long, swinging
stride, he headed for the cabin
owned by Ab Abbot.. A cabin
known as "No Man's Land,"
Ab Abbot's town cabin was as
notorious as any honkytonk or
gambling joint in Rintrock, It was
a four -roost log cabin. There was
a big living room, and a spacious
kitchen presided over by a one -
eyed Chinese • who had been a
hatchet man for a big tong. Ab
Abbot had brought him to Montana
from San Francisco and put him in
charge of the house. Ab Abbot
called him Chino, Chino was small,
quick, wiry. He wore Chinese
clothes and under itis blouse, he
always carried a .45 and a whetted
butcher knife.
Beyond the big living room with
its hardwood floor, its leather sofa
and chairs, its Indian rug and huge
fireplace, were two bedrooms and a
bath, Inside those log walls, thou-
sands of dollars had been won and
lost over card tables, Ab Abbot
loved cards and whisky and fast
women. His parties would last a
week. Abbot's favorite pastime was
sitting back in his big red -leather
chair and shooting at different ob-
jects in the roots. Bottles, glasses,
anything that made a good target,
The log walls were pocked with
bullet holes.
That was Ab Abbot's "No Man's
Land" there in the pines 'beyond
the edge of town. That was where
\Vebb Winters now headed.

Through the low -pulled window
blinds showed a yellow light, Webb
cautiously approached the place,
Every nerve on edge, every muscle
tight, he made his way through the
pines, his gun handy. He crouched
there in the darkness, listening.
No sound carte from within the
log house. A shadowy form passed
across the big living roont,silhou-
etted against the drawn window
blind,
Webb.was about to start for the
front door when he heard someone
coating. Coating clumsily, fum-
bling his way through the night,
Now the ratan was there at the
front door, pounding on the door
with the barrel of his six-shooter.
There was the scraping of a heavy
bolt, The door opened, revealing
the wiry little Chino who had a
gun in his withered -looking hand.
The man .who had pounded on The
door was Joe Blake.
"Where's Ab?" he growled.
"Boss not house."
"Don't lie to tae, you little rat,
Where's Ab?"
"Boss no house. You dlunk,

"I tell you, you slant -eyed son, I

"Boss not home."
"Where's the girl?"
"No savvy."
"You lie like Hell, Ab Abbot's

"Let him in ChIno," called a
voice front inside the house. "What

Now Ab Abbot could be seen, He
was in his shirt sleeves and he
bulked there in the yellow light like
some pot-bellied beast, He had a
bottle of whisky in his right hand, a
glass in the left hand,
"Webb Winters is gunning for

HRONICLES
1NGERFARM
of Gw¢n4oltne P. Cteake
Last week my menfolk were
busy rebuilding a bridge in the back
lane spanning a creek that runs
through our property, Such an in-
nocent looking little creek—it isn't
even running now, All It amounts
to at present is a few water boles
here and there and some wet,
marshy patches, Yet in early spring,
swollen by the melting snow, that
same creek has a strong enough
current to cause a washout; to carry
away the wooden bridge and dis-
lodge the stringers beneath it. Now
it is taking a lot of time and work
to rebuild the bridge and to fill in
the washout—to say nothing of the
expense involved. But as I looked
at it this afternoon the thought
carate to ase—there before inc is the
damage done by one small creek
when it was In flood , , , how can
one possibly imagine, the havoc
caused by the Red River flood?
And how can we even guess at the
heartache of those poor folk return-
ing to homes which In many cases
had been loved and cared for years
on end. Yes, the danger period of
the flood is over but the tragedy and
heartbreak will last for months to
come—and that is something we
who are more fortunate need to
remember.
Down here in Ontario farms and
homes are still changing hands in
inany districts—not through floods
but for the simple reason that own-
ers are selling their property. It is
very interesting to watch the
changes• that take place under new
ownership. Sometimes property is
improved by new owners; other
times there are changes made which
are not always to the good, Thus
we find farms that were previously
well kept becoming untidy and
poorly managed, On the other hand,
farms that were showing signs of
degeneration have been given a new
lease of life and improved consider-
ably. In any case new owners stake
' changes that are characteristic .of
themselves — and sometimes the
changes are amusing, For instance,
in one house the farmer's wife ,. had
a great fondness for ivory paint, so
itt almost every room the woodwork
was painted ivory, Then the prop-
erty changed hands again, This time
the lady of the house did not like
ivory so wherever she found wood-
work with an ivory finish she
promptly painted it whitely. Then
again the previous owner like the
house and garden to be well fenced;
the new owners had the opposite
idea and tore down every fence that
was not absolutely necessary.
In another case new owners were
determined to have their newly ac-
quired stone house spray -painted
white. Fortunately they did not stay
long enough to perpetrate that
critnel Then there were the folk
who loved old houses, complete
with shutters, So they repaired and
painted ail the shutters. When they
sold out the .new owners wanted
to give, the house a "modern look,"
so the first thing they did was to
remove all the shutters.
The same thing happens in build-
ing. One family decides on a large
spreading bungalow • type of house
eotnplete with breezeway. In an-
other, big picture windows give
the place a distinctive touch—al-
though picture windows are not as
distinctive as they once were since

so many houses are now built with
them. Some folk still have conserva-
tive ideas and stick to the old -
type windows, But in one thing I
ant pretty sure all new houses are
alike—they all have modern bath-
rooms and water on .tap,
On the outskirts of an town
whenever you pass a number of
new homes that are completely
different in architecture I imagine
it is a pretty safe guess to assure
they are privately owned, Wartime
housing projects are conspicuous
by their lack of individuality, But
at least they have a frontage that
is preferable to some of the others.
Surely when new houses are being
built it would be to the interest of
the owners themselves to get to-
gether and decide on a uniform
frontage, We have noticed sections
in the country where one house
Inay be possibly 100 feet from the
road another 200 and maybe the
next one no more than 50 feet, Are
there no regulations in this regard
included in local building permits—,
or is that something than was
overlooked?
With farts homes it doesn't mat-
ter
much what distance they are
front the road since it Is rarely two
farttt houses are built side by side
—and in the old days location was
usually governed by the site of the
best water supply,
And speaking of water — many
houses built just outside the town
limits trust often tap the same
spring, I wonder if the water sup-
ply can be relied on to last indefin-
itely?
Doing His Bit
The funds of the local nursing as-
sociation were getting low, and it
was decided to raise • money by
an entertainment in the village hall.
Tickets were issued at a quarter,
which included a free tea before
the show. •
One young matt filled the work-
ers with dismay as he devoured
eight big sandwiches, five pork pies,
six fruit tarts, and thrte slices of
cake, washing down the collection
with seven cups of tea,
Smilingly regarding the havoc he
had wrought, the young tnan sat
back and turned to his neighbour,
"That's good," he said, "You know,
I always think one should patroniro
anything of this' kind. It's all fora
good cause."
* your man. Your best weapons,
* however, are dignity and silence.
* Any active attack upon this low
* character would not diminish her
* reputation, that is already ac-
*contplis.hetl, It would weaken your
* position, and defeat your aims.
* Your husband is not guiltless, you
* know
* Stand your ground. Refuse to
consider a divorce, and stick to it.
That will show her how futile arc
their designs, and it will have a
chastening effect upon your hus-
band too.
His good name is being tarn-
ished, and if he doesn't know it,
he is more stupid than I think.
To desert a wife who is expect-
ing a baby is about as low an
insult as a man can offer. It
he who will "bear the brunt" of
this miserable affair, not you.
You can, however, lessen your
burden a great deal by refusing
to listen to any gossip your ac-
quaintances bring up. '1'o lend an

water. In front of her ran a rail-
way line, and just as the girl was

When the train had passed, the girl
was swimming vigorously. At this
point a ratan stuttered, "Dann."

These Will Add Interest
1t is not advisable to plant the
whole garden with new things or
novelties, but certainly the sys-
tematic introduction of two or
three each year will provide new
interest and very often the discov-`
ery of a valuable and permanent
.addition,
. It should be renumbered that
'the work of plant improvement
has never stopped, Old favorites
among the flowers and vegetables
have been wonderfully improved in
color or quality and what is of
great importance to Canada there
are far hardier sorts today titan
were in existence a few years ago.
As a result of this new hardi-
ness it is now possible to grow
such tender things as garden corn,
melons, totnatoes, cucumbers, etc,,
in areas where the old strains would
got have had a chance, And the
same applies to many' formerly
tender flowers.
Then there are brand-new., dis-
coveries, too, at least brand-new
to the average gardener, A great
many people have never tried things
like borecole, Brussel's sprouts,
Chinese cabbage, endive, water-
melons, or even Swiss chard, pep-
pers or eggplants,
Few of us have ever tried to grow
any of the herbs like dill or sage,
or things like garlic, horse -radish
or leeks, Practically all of these are
hardy and easily produced,
By selecting new, hardy vari-
eties, or in some cases getting
started plants or forcing along
under paper caps and with a little
quick -acting fertilizer, these things
can be grown safely in a great
many parts of Canada. And the
list of new or improved flowers is
almost endless, as any good seed
catalogue will reveal.
Tender Plants '
It will now be tine to start plant-
ing those flowers and vegetables
which cannot stand any frost. Dah-
lias, gladioli, petunias and other
soft -stemmed started flowers are in
this category, and also tomatoes,
peppers, eggplants, cukes, squash,
melons and pumpkins, Some of
these, it is true, will survive a light,
frost but usually the damage sets •
them back so that they will never
really catch up. With the seeds
and bulbs, of course, one can plant
a week or ten days before the last
light frost because the 'plants will
not be exposed above ground, There
is not much advantage in early
planting because none of these ten-
der things really start to grow
until both soil and air are warns,
Cucumbers, melons, squash, etc.,
are usually grown in hills. These
are beds a foot or so in diameter
and about two to three feet apart.
They are heaped up a few inches
above the gtlrrotlnding earth. This
allows then to drain well and also
to absorb more sun, which they
love. Bills are made by scraping
out about six inches of the surface
soil, filling with rotted manure or
some similar rich mixture, then
topping off with an inch or so of
fine, light soil in which the seeds
are planted.

Yellig of Santa Claus, Ind., got letters from worried boys and

in his home town, wants to assure all the youngsters he'll be

She's "World's Most
Perfect Mother"
Officials at a hospital in Perth,
Western Australia, believe the,
have discovered the world's most
perfect mother—Mrs, S, Cook,
who, it is reported, is able to have
babies effortlessly.
Forty -year-old Mrs, Cook has
had nine children—eight sons and
a daughter, It is said that they all
arrived so effortlessly that only once
had this remarkable mother been
in bed for the new arrival. That was
when her daughter was born in the
hospital, but only after the hospital
authorities had managed to persuade
her to take a bed there.
Her eight sons were all born while
she was doing her ordinary house-
hold duties. Two came when she'
was actually alone in the house.
They weighed 10Ib. and 81b,
All Mrs, Cook's children were
born within days of the expected
times and all have been reared
without a bottle, She feeds all of
them herself until they are ten
months old, This is astonishing
enough, but it is the healthy, cheer-
ful mother herself who really aston-
ishes the hospital officials,
They are convinced that a care-
ful and systematical study of Mrs,
Cook would greatly help its snaking
childbirth easier and happier.
When a London midwife with
twenty years' experience was asked
• to comment, she said; "This
tnother's record of quick and easy
birth is certainly remarkable and
probably unique, Her case should
greatly encourage specialists who
are now cantpaigtting for more pre-
natal relaxation and exercises to
ensure easier childbirth, But it will
probably be a long time before it
will be possible to achieve, without
drugs, childbirth with such a mini-
mum of discomfort,"
However, the education of
mothers is continually progresisng
and there is no doubt that great
steps forward have been taken in
recent years. Childbirth today is
certainly much easier for the mother
than it was in our parents' time,"

In a recent issue, of the Saturday
Evening Post, a very well-known
short -story writer tells of how he
and his wife took off considerable
excess poundage, and still didn't
have to starve or cut down on their
eating. The only difference was
that they ate MORE of the things
they liked that aren't fattening,
which didn't leave room for the
foods that are.
I don't happen to have the ar-
ticle handy now, but I remember
that one food ,they ate was Cot-
tage Cheese; and as I have had
several requests lately for a good
method of slaking this fine food,
seems as good a time as any to
pass it along.

children a quart a day, Cottage
cheese is just on way of using
your quota—or, for those who have
surplus milk around at various
tines, of making good use of that
surplus.
Many women can make good cot-
tage cheese without a thermometer.
However, it's easier to get uni-
formly good results if you hate
Unc. '!'hese thermometers arc in-
expensive, and last a lifetime.
COTTAGE CHEESE
Warm four quarts of fresh raw
milk (whole or skimmed) to 75
degrees, That's warm -room tem-
perature. You can set the kettle in
a pan of warm water to warm the
tnllk. Stir it constantly until the
thermometer reads 75 degrees,
Let it stand at this temperature
until it has clabbered. it will take
from 24 to 30 hours. At this time,
a . jelly-like curd will form. It
should separate into chunks when
it is cut with a knife.
Add an equal amount of water
'which has been heated to 150 de-
grees, Stir to mix thoroughly, and
let the curd stand for one and
one-half hours at a warns -roost
temperature. This cooks the curd.
Drain the curd through a cloth
bag or a cloth -lined strainer. Wash
the curd, if you wish, by mixing it
with twice its measure of cold
water, Drain it through cheese-
cloth or a fine wire sieve.
Add salt to taste and sufficient
cream to give the desired thick-
ness.
To stake cottage cheese from
pasteurized milk, add one table-
spoon of cultured' buttermilk. Mix
well and proceed as above.

Having made your cheese, you'll
probably want to try Cottage
Cheese Cake. It's quite easy to
•
make, and really delicious. The
quantities I give here can easily
be doubled, if you think your folks
will want extra helpings—which
they probably will.

Most families—say, the experts—
don't cat nearly enough "greens"
such+as lettuce and so on, Maybe
yours is such a family, although
I sincerely hope not. However, I
shouldn't have to snake any apolo-
gies or explanations for passing
along a recipe for anything so
good as this,
DUTCH LETTUCE
1 head lettuce or equivalent
in leaf lettuce
2 hard-boiled eggs
%a cup vinegar
2 email onions
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
r/, cup diced bacon
Method: Let the lettuce stand in
cold water one hour or more, and
:'ten drain well, Cut the bacon in-
to small pieces and fry until brown.
Add the vinegar and sugar and the
bacon fat, Heat well and pour over
the lettuce. Then add the chopped
eggs, salt and onion (cut: fine),
Mix well and serve.
Off. To Explore Th.
Southern Ocean
On her way to the southern ;cps,
to carry out, ocean research into
currents, water masses, temperature
variations, movements of sea -birds
and sea animals, is the United
Kingdom research ship Discovery
11, The voyage will last nearly two
years and, during that time, the 36
officers, crew and scientists en board
will steam many thousands of miles
in their quest to solve some of the
'remaining mysteries of the ocean.
The ship wiil work mainly in the
Indian, Australian and Pacific
sectors of the Southern Ocean be-
tween • subtropical waters. and the
fringe of the pack -ice.
At regular intervals the ship will
be stopped "on station," and by
means of specially designed water
sampling bottles, deep sea thermo-
meters and fine meshed nets, the
temperatures, density and chemical
constituents of the water will be
ascertained from the surface to the
bcttont, and the innumerable small
forms of life examined from the
surface to a depth of about 5,000
feet,
Direct observations will be made
on the distribution and habits of
whales, and on seals, fish and birds,
according to opportunities, The
"convergencies" --- certain surface
boundaries between important water
masses --will receive attention, the
ser.sonal distribution of pack -ice will
be studied, and there may at a later
stage be opportunities to examine
and chart a little-known part of the
Antaractic Coast.

Elsewhere on this page will be
found Jini . Coleman's very novel
and interesting announcement of
the big harness -meeting at the new
Thorncliffe Raceway in Toronto—
a meeting which may very well
mark the start of a new era of
prosperity for the many Ontario
folks interested in the breeding and
racing of Trotters and Pacers,
* * *
Ordinarily we wouldln't even
dream of trying to enlarge on the
writings of such as Jim Coleman,
whose daily feature in the Globe &
Mail has been sadly missed ever
since he decided to turn honest and
quit columning. But in this case
we feel that there arc a few things
that might bear our saying.
Y * *
It is no secret that the running -
horse people—the Sportsmen who
idolize Gate Receipts, Social:
Prestige, and the Thoroughbred
(spelled with a capital "T") in
about that order—have looked with
extreme disfavor on any attempt
to bring to our fair Province
harness horse racing of an up-to-
date vintage. Putting it a bit more
brutally, some of those Sportsmen
are said to shiver in their boots
every time they read about spots
like the Roosevelt Raceway getting
bigger attendances and greater
mutuel play than long-established
regular tracks,
* *
And at that, over on this side
of the border such gentlemen Wright
have good reason to be a bit fright-
ened at such a prospect, For in
spite of all the ballyhoo about our
"classics" such as the King's Plate,
here in Canada we don't see the
best grade of Thoroughbred, Or the
second-best. Or even the third-
best. As one callous observer put
ft, after looking over the entries
for one of our top Canadian races,
"Forty cents worth of horses
running for a five thousand dollar
pot."
* * *
But at a meeting like this one at
Thorncliffe, we can have the chance
of watching in action just about
the finest there are in the way of
Standard Breds; and, although
this may be rank heresy, there are
lots of people who—like ourselves—
believe than Dan Patch, for in-
stance, vas a far finer piece of
horseflesh than Man 0' \Var ever
dared to he.
* * :►
Anyway, as you may already
have guessed, the running horse
interests haven't done much to
make things smooth for those pro-
moting the new Thorncliffe setup.
All of which will serve ,to introduce
a statement recently made by J.
W, Brown, vice president of the
Thorncliffe Raceway, Mr. Brown,
who is also President of the Can-
adian Standard -Bred Horse Society,
prefaced his statement by saying
that he felt he owed an explanation
to the farmers and horse -breeders
of Ontario. Take it away, Mr.
Brown.
* * *
"We don't like these starting -
times • but we are forced to accept
them," he said, "We are bowing
to the instructions. of the Ontario
Racing Commissioners who, in turn,
are bowing to the instructions of
Premier Leslie Frost, Our start-
ing -times will be 4,15 p.m. on week-
days: 2.30 p.m. Saturdays and
holidays.
* * *
"When, originally, we obligated
ourselves to the expenditure of
several hundreds of thousands of
dollars to operate a night -racing
meeting for our breeders at Thorn-
cliffe," said Mr. Brown, "we were
emulating breeders in the more

easterly provinces of Canada and
25 of the United States, These
meetings have been operated with-
out political interference and they
have brought prosperity to the
standard -bred breeders in the dis-
tricts in which they are located.
"We were understandably sur-
prised, then, when Premier Frost
announced that he wouldn't per-
mit any night harness -racing in the
Toronto area,
"Several months after the Pre-
mier's announcement, the new
,Ontario Racing Commission was
appointed, The Commission, on
May 5, issued its Directive Number
3 which stated: 'there shall be no
night harness racing (under lights)
in Ontario in 1950,"
* * :*
"Naturally, we assumed that we
could stage our programs • in the
twilight hours -- completing them
before dark—and giving the farmers
an opportunity to get into the city
for the sport,
"Our hopes were dashed, on May
20, when the Ontario Racing Com-
mission issued its Directive Number
6, This directive stated definitely
that we must finish our programs
by seven o'clock, Daylight Saving
Time, each night,
"Nonetheless, we are going to
fulfil our obligations to the horse-
men and breeders of Ontario. We
are going to pay out our advertised
program of more than $200,000 in
purses and we feel absolutely cer-
tain that we are going to provide
a daily, quick -moving spectacle that
will be. enjoyed by the general
public,"

Makes Passing Safer
Ever get trapped on a two-lane
highway behind an elephantine
truck inching along at a snail's
race? You want to pass but you
dare not sally out ' aroun:l him to
challenge oncoming traffic.
This vexations predicament is
eased by the "Passing -Eye," a new
gadget that enables the driver to
see around any object in front of
him and is also helpful when ap-
proaching the crest of a hill.
'It's' all done with mirrors—two
of them. Mounted on a single arm
just outside the driver's window
ate two tound flat mirrors, almost
. facing each other but at a slight
angle.
One mirror is larger than the
other. The large mirror faces for-
ward, the small one looks to the
rear. The driver, gazing into the
small mirror sees there a broad
view ahead reflected from the large
mirror. Thus he gets a good pic-
ture of what is'approaching in the
opposite lane and can pass safely
when the road i3 clear without a
preliminary series of hazardous
sorties.
THEFARN FRONT
aku
Get among a bunch of poultry
raisers and you'll hear arguments
a -plenty. A lot of these arguments
run along general lines—whether
Ty Cobb was a greater ball player
than Hollus Wagner, whether Fred
Allen is a greater comedian than
Jack Benny, and so on.
* * '
But after all such weighty (nat-
ters have been settled—to ,the satis-
faction of neither side—you'll find
that these poultry -raisers' chief
point of contention boils down to
this; when the weather gets warm
should you, or shouldn't you, open
the hen -house door and let the
flock run loose?
A majority of flock owners still
let the hens run in hot weather.
They say, first, that hens can't be
comfortable if they're shut up;
and, second, that it's good business
to let them roans and make use of
waste feed,
* v *
Personally, 1'111 neutral. One of
the hardest things to learn in life
is to shut up when the other fellow
knows mare about a subject than
you do, From here on, today's
column will contain the views of
a man who is strongly for the "shut•
door" policy, He starts off by say-
ing
aying that it's probably a good thing
that hens can't talk; otherwise
plenty of poultry raisers would get
a first-class bawling -out for open-
ing the hen -house door as soon
as the weather gets warm,
* * i :t
•
The main reason for. having hens
is to get eggs, And no chicken has
yet ,been: invented that can matte
eggs out of nothing or next to
nothing,
* * *
Some kinds of feed produce ener-
gy—keep a hen going. Other kinds
produce eggs. Most of that "waste"
feed a hen picks up around the
,crib or granary is energy -pro-
ducing. * * *
Sometimes you find .a poultry
raiser who insists; "I get more eggs
when 1 turn my hens ot'' " Usually,
that's because they were not get-
ting a good ration anyway.
•
* * *
Recent figures aren't available
because few record -keepers turn
chickens out any more. So there's
no basis for comparison. But in
1947, records of College demonstra-
tion flocks showed that confined
flocks shelled out almost two doz-
en eggs a year more than flocks
turned loose, •
* * *
Another argument is that sun-
light and grass help hens. That's
true if their laying ration is short
on vitamins, But if their feed is
good, they'll get all they need out
of the hopper.
* *
\Vhat about exercise? Too much
means fewer eggs. A hen can't
chase around and lay eggs, too,
* * *
There's the disease angle to
figure, too, A properly -cleaned hen
house is bound to have fewer germ;
than the barnyard. And old hens
often are carrying disease germs
which could raise hob with young
birds, * * y
There's still the problem of an
uncomfortably hot house, But may-
be there's something you can do

Michigan, New York, numerous Ontario waystations and Red
Gulch,
The Vice•PI'csident (Employment Division), just has informed
us that he has enough men on the payroll to erect a new Empire
State Building in 36 hours, As a matter of fact, if all the men
who have applied for jobs at our plant only will make a point of
dropping in to see our races once or twice, we will be assured
of bumper crowds throughout our 42.day season. Among our
applicants has been a Hungarlan nobleman who wishes to train
and drive hnrness•horses for some local sportsman, Another
gentleman offers us the services of himself and his dwarf -trotter,
a midget horse which, he insists, can travel almost as swiftly as a

Surgery Not Like
It Used To Be
Operations today are not like
they were a century ago, when
more than half the victims died of
shock within a few hours. Maty
who survived succumbed later from
gangrene, and ultimately, only two
in ten recovered. Of these, one
usually ended up a permanent ner-
vous wreck through pain and slibck,
John of Gaddesden, who was
physician to Edward I1, in a book
c.f advice to shrgeons of his period,
writes; "The requisites for doctor
are an ability to lie in a su',tle man-
ner, to show an outward honesty,
and to kill with audacity." Chances
of recovery were so slim that ani
other surgeon wrote: "Let him (the
patient) prepare his joule as a ready
sacrifice to the Lard by earnest
prayer; craving mercie and help
unfainedlie,"
Apart from strong drink there
were no anaesthetics. And when
a limb was amputated, the stump
was thrust into boiling oil or roasted
wit!► red hot irons before bandages
were tied on. Rabbits', fur mixed
with aloes was sometimes applied
to stop bleeding. No wonder gan-
grene follliwed!
How different today, Your fam-
ily doctor lays the history of your
case before the surgeon who is thus
armed with every relevant detail
about you, As he sterilizes his hands,
eases them into rubber gloves and
selects his instruments, he has. be-
fore hint a clear picture not only of
your trouble but of any weaknesses
you may have inherited.
You often hear it said; "Sur-
geons don't care. They're always
cutting people up; they think about
as much of you as a butcher does
1 joint,"
Don't believe that. A butcher
works with portions of lifeless car-
case; a surgeon on a live, delicate
instrument pulsating with life,. No
callous man, however skilled, ever
became a successful surgeon.
When you're on the table the
surgeon ceases to think of you as
rich or poor; as successful or a
failure, You are then his most
important patient, I -Ie will use all
his skill to make you well again,
Ile works in the presence of assis-
tants, nurses, an anaesthetist, and
sometimes visiting doctors and stu-
dents -::all highly critical people, And
now, for the first time, an operation
has been televised!
Mow different front eighty years
ago when the surgeon was usually
a bewhiskered gentleman attired in
a frock coat, He made no prepara-
tion except to exchange this for a
blood-stained smock. Often. he did
not bother to wash his hands, work-
ed with unboiled instruments, and
while operating shook a mixture of
germs and snuff front his beard all
over the patient.
Today, not only the instruments
sterilized, but masks, rubber boots
and gloves are worn.
The three train risks of an ()It-
eration are; sepsis, shock and loss
of blood, Sepsis,,or blood poisoning,
is avoided partly by the precautions
c.uttincd. But doctors also found
that wounds arc i,fficult to heal if
they remain open 'too long, So rap-
id—not careless—operating is the
result.
Dr, Lawrence, proved .by experi-
ment that much time is lost in reach-
ing for and handing back instru-
ments, He designed. special tables
which enable the surgeon's hands to
fall easily on the instruments need-
ed. Surgeons also spend many hours
"operating" on lumps of beef wrap-
ped. in silk, .using either hand to
make rapid, accurate incisions; and
have found that by, this method not
only has "operating time been re-
duced by more than a third, but
that their patients heal more rapidly,
Where loss of blood is unavoid-
able, it is countered by transfusion,
and hospitals maintain stocks of
every type of blood, A great ad-
vance, too, is the radio knife which
ensures virtually bloodless surgery.
Attached to one end is a current -
carrying cable, As the blade severs,
Pigeons That Play Tunes, Ping- Pong,
Match Colors And Count Off Seconds
If Dr. It; F, Skinner of Harvard
will let 'you into his psychological
laboratory, you will find some
pigeons playing ping-pong, as likely
as not, or pecking out on a seven -
keyed piano such simple tunes as
"Over the Fence Is Out, Boys" and
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
The pigeons know no more about
music than the trained circus seals
that manage' to blow a few bars of
"My Country 'Tis of Thee" on a
specially constructed mouth organ
to recceive a fish as a 'reward,
The pigeons are used by Dr,
Skinner to find out the•role of re-
ward or punishment in performing
tasks. It may be that when he has
proceeded far enough, Dr, Skinner
will know whether or not, for ex•
ample, a child can be trained more
effectively by encouraging good be-
havior or by punishing misbehavior,
writes Waldemar Kaempffert in the
New York Times.
So far as the experiments have
gone it seems .that reward is more
effective than punishment. To 'test
this tentative conclusion, Dr, Skin-
ner has taught his pigeons not only
to work for food, but also to co-
operate in matching colors and
playing ping-pong,
Pigeons. and Humans
All this is mere classroom work
fon' the benefit of students, Dr,
Skinner's real purpose is to discover
new ways of studying human be-
havior in various situations.
Pigeons turn out to be ideal sub-
jects, because they live as long as
fifteen years (rats only two or three
years), because they have a reaction
time comparable to that of human
beings, because they have good
color vision and, lastly, because they
are less susceptible to disease than
most laboratory animals,
In all of Dr, Skinner's experi-
ments, the purpose is to persuade a
pigeon to earn a reward for doing
something. The reward is always a
chance to peck at a bit of food for a
few seconds. In some experiments,
pigeons Hurst learn to co-operate
or to compete to win the privilege
of pecking at the food.
A pigeon behaves very much like
a small boy who is promised ten
the nerve ends are "cooked" and
automatically sterilized; the natural
proteins are clotted and dried, The
radio knife redtices bleeding to a..
minimum.
There are two kinds of shock;
mental and physical, The surgeon
does all he can to minimize phy-
sical shock. And mental shock is
almost a thing of the past, The pati-
ent is wheeled into the anaesthetic
room where an expert, while con-
versing nnaturally to him, gives hint
a gentle jab in the upper arm and
sends hint off to sleep,
He sees nothing of knives or
fearsome instruments when wheeled
into the operating theatre, where
the anaesthetist administers a fur-
ther dose of suitable agaethetic, suf-
ficient to keep him under for the
entire operation—possibly a small
affair lasting minutes, or a brain
operation which' sometimes takes
eight hours, The patient knows
nothing about it, He wakes to find
himself back in. bed.
Few people realize how deft a
surgeon is with his fingers, He not
only cuts with accuracy, but sut-
ures (sews) with skill, He is far
removed from the ordinary ham-•
fisted male trying to sew on a, but-
ton,
Needlework is part of his training
and despite the rubber gloves that
encase his hands, he is an artist with
silk, thread, nylon, catgut, tine wire,
stainless steel and platinum. He
must sew flesh, or fat which does
not hold stitches easily, Ile trust
knit bones, He must sew speedily
and tie knots with his gloved left

When they learn that reward fol-
lows incentive and performance,
pigeons will work their heads off,
One pigeon pecked away over
35,OOd times in five hours for one-
third of an ounce of food,
'I'o teach the advantage of co-
operation in obtaining food, Dr,
Skinner pputs his pigeons in a box
, with a glass partition in the middle.
A pigeon is placed on each side of
the glass. At the rear of the box
is a panel with three pairs of
buttons in a vertical row, one row
on either side of the glass partition.
To receive food both pigeons
must simultaneously strike match-
ing buttons in the separated cages.
When this is done, a light flashes,
a buzzer sounds and the door to
the food chute opens. Only one
pair of food -producing buttons will
work each time, but the two birds
have little difficulty in exploring the
pairs together and selecting the cor-
rect pair,
Colors Distinguished
A small brown and yellow pigeon
has demonstrated that pigeons can
distinguish colors. In this case the
apparatus is a septi -circular cage
with bulbs in a box at the top to
project a green, blue, red or yellow
light. The bird faces four small
squares on which are printed
"YELLOW," "GREEN," "BLUE"
and "RED " When a red light is
tented on in the box, the bird will
peck • at the sign which reads
"RED", whereupon the food door
at the bottom of the panel opens
and he is rewarded with a bit of
grain, Another light then automati-
cally glows, If it is blue, the
"BLUE" sign receives a peck, Pro-
perly trained birds are able to peck
at the pertinent sign as fast as the
lights arc turned on, So it is with
playing a tune on a piano of seven
keys,
Pigeons can also be taught to
compete, For this purpose Dr.
Skinner has then play modified
game of ping -gong, The court is
about two feet square and it has no
net. Onc pigeon tries to bat the ball
with his beak past his opponent.

Pigeon Ping-Pong —The pigeons pictured here are playing
ping -gong, They're pros, too, because they only do it for gain.
The birds, part of flock belonging to Physchology Prof, 13, F,
Skinner, also play tunes on a toy piano, push buttons to get
food, tell time and differentiate between changing colors—like
traffic lights, Dr, Skinner uses the pigeons to discover the re-

Pigeons in some experiments de-
velop an ability to "tell time." 1f
an apparatus will pay off only ten
seconds after a signal they learn
to wait, killing time by turning
around once or twice, hopping from
one foot to another, or pecking at

Giant Atomic Tulips
A giant tulip, five inches in height
and four inches wide, with a stent
no thicker than a man's finger, is
the sensation of Lissc, center of the
Netherlands bulb -growing industry,
This giant tulip and other flowers
are the offspring of smother bulbs
that were bombarded with X-rays
or with neutron'. by Dr, Willem E.
de Mol, director of the Laoratory
for Ornamental Plant Research in
Amsterdam.
After years of experimentation
with irradiation, Dr, De Mol Inas
produced tulips with flowers that
vary in form front large smooth
cups to small blooms with fringes
like those of a Chinese fan -dancer.,
These last are variations brought
about by treating the mother bulb,
a white and flatne-red flower, with
X-rays, The first experimental plant
of this kind was achieved two years
ago; now there are five plants ,
each worth about 1,000 guilders.
The mother bulb of the atomic
tulip; the• Utopia, was subjected to
bombardment- with neutrons. The
result was a scarlet tulip five inches
long, with a diameter of four inches.
It is a splendid flower, though the
stalk is no thicker than a' man's
tiger, The leaves resemble -those of
a succulent plant,
Tulip growers are particularly
interested in the fact that tett
years after X-ray treatment new
variations still appear, proof of the
powerful effect of irradiation on
tulip bulbs. Geneticists are not as-
tonished. They have long known
that X-rays will bring forth new
species of fruit flies by the hundred
and also new species of plants.
Even after the first new acceptable
species or variety of a plant ap-
pears, much cross -breeding is neces-
sary before an acceptable com-
mercial producct is- obtained. It
takes from twenty to twenty-five
years, for exxample, to. prepare a
new tulip for the market.
HEALTH HINT—Diabetes runs
in families. Members of families
in which there is diabetes both on
the mother's side and the father's
side are the ones who should be
especially careful to avoid over-
weight,
Like human beings, pigeons seen
to be superstitious, if you can call
it that, They tend to repeat any
action that was successful in the
past in producing food, Some tnay
go through complicated move-
ments, just as a poker player may
walk around his chair for luck The
routine will be repeated even
though it has no effect on the de-
livery of food.
The Perfect Loaf? •
\Vhat is the ideal loaf of bread—
and how is it made? Because he
believes he has found the secret,
76 -year-old Lord Teviot has been
advocating the claims of the whole-
meal loaf (made his way) in the
House of Lords. And at his home,
Adbury House, Newbury, Berks„
a few days later, Lord Teviot dem-
onstrated the right way to make the
loaf, which, he declares, is /his
recipe for health' and long life.
Here's the recipe, Take 2 lb. of
wholemeal flour, 2 oz, of yeast, 2
tablespoonfuls of salt and one pint
of water, Mix and knead well. Then
bake for exactly one hour,
Says healthy -looking Lord Tev-
iot: "My digestion is perfect and
I've had only four teeth out In all
my life ,Much of the nutriment is
taken out of the modern loaf, Give
the children 100 per cent, bread and
you would rid the country of half
its stomach and dental troubles."
He points out that although the
wholemeal loaf costs more than
the white loaf, it is more economical
because it is still fresh after a week
and none has to be thrown away.
More Connelly ,
In Night Driving
Now that warmer weather has ar-
rived, snore and more drivers will be
taking to the, highways in the even-
ing. We hope they will remember
that a road'is not a one-way affair,
but two-way, with cars corning from
each direction, often at speeds ex-
ceeding the legal_ limit.
In the daytime, even when traffic
is running beyond the speed litnit,
there isn't too much danger so
long as the driver has his mind on
his driving and his eyes on the road,
In the evening and at night added
consideration must be given to the
matter of glaring headlights. A re-
cent study has found that "at
speeds of fifty miles an hour a
driver blinded by glaring headlights
often will travel as much as 150 feet
before he recovers sufficiently to
distinguish a pedestrian or object on
the highway." I
City and town people are often
serious offenders in neglecting to
dim their lights on passing other
cars, becacuse they arc accustomed
to drive with parking lights on in
the city, On the open road they
forget that they are using their
brights and' hence disregard' the.
ordinary courtesy of using passing
lights. All drivers are entitled to
their driving pleasure, but at the
same time the individual driver
must remember that a little bit of
courtesy on his part will make night
driving safer for himself and others,
HOW TO GUARD
AGAINST POLIO
As Polio began its seasonal up-
swing, there are indications that
last year's epidemic might have
marked a turning point in the his-
tory of the long war against that
dread scourge, Experts think that
advances in research may, before
longk, break much of polio's power.
But while science girds for the
nal assault on the great crippler,
POLIO IS STILL DANGER-
OUS. Out of long experience doc-
tors, hospitals and health depart-
ments suggest these 'basic precau-
tions for protecting yourself and
family against Infantile Paralysis,
better known as 1)0110.
1. Avoid crowds, especially con- '
tact with strangers who may carry
the infection. Keep children with
their own friends,
2, Don't get over -tired. Fatigue
increases the danger of infection,
makes results more serious.
3, Keep from getting chilled.
Swimming is safe if it is done is
non -polluted waters, for not too
long a time. Don't remain in wet
clothes.
4. Be clean. Wash hands before
eating; keep food covered, well re-
frigerated,
5. Be alert to polio's early symp-
toms so you can call your doctor
promptly: Symptoms include head-
aches, sore throat, nausea, fever,
muscle stiffness,
A Clip To Remember—Peter Edson, correspondent for NEA
Service and this newspaper, got a shock when he had his hair
cut by Lee Dynes, a hotel barber, Using a technique he learned
from a Frenchman, Dynes did the complete job with an old-
fashioned, straight -edged non -safety razor. Reported Edson:
