There is a beautiful sunset to-
, night—Easter Sunday—and it is the
only nice thing that the weatherman
brou4ht us this Easter week -end.
\Vas there ever a colder Easter?
But of course, although it is Easter,
it is also March so actually the wea-
ther is quite seasonable, One time
we used to think if Easter came
early then so did spring. But maybe
it never did—perhaps it was only
that the wish was father to the
thought.
Just recently I discovered that
not everyone knows why Easter is
movable nor how the date is set.
This is what happens, which I sup-
pose is a custom that dates back to
Biblical times. Easter Sunday is
always the first Sunday following
the full moon which conies on or
after the 21st of lfarch. If the full
moon falls on a Sunday tlieu Easter
Day is one week later. if the full
moon costes late in March then nat-
urally that meatus that Easter is not
until sometime in April.
IVe did not have any visitors this
weed-end—not even Daughter as
two of her roomers were leaving
the city and two others moving in,
so naturally she was busy. Maybe
it was just as well we didn't have
visitors—they Wright have starved!
Friday the shops were closed,
Saturday there was such a terrific
gale 1 was afraid if I ventured out
my poor little "Limey"—that is, my
car—would have been blown right
off the road. So I didn't get any
week -end shopping done at all—and
it has been slim pickings around
our louse for two days. At least,
that is • what I thought, but I sup•
pose our "slim pickings" would
have been a feast in 1118113. parts of
the world, I wonder if the time
will ever corse when all people, in
every corner of the Globe, will have
enough to eat. Even though 1 did
not go to town we had all we want-
ed in the way of milk, bread, eggs
and other food stuffs—so had we
any reason to grumble?
And speaking of milk .. , wasn't
that milk strike the craziest thing?
All that fuss and inconvenience and
no one any better off than before.
Actually, if the strike had gone on
%cry long, the farmers, who had
nothing to do with it, would have
been the ones to suffer the greatest
loss. We were not affected by it at
Ginger Farm as the do not send our
milk to Toronto.
Still on the subject of food -
medical science has come up with
another discovery—a diet that pro-
mises greatly to relieve those who
suffer with high blood pressure.
The diet is mainly rice, fruit and
fruit juices, with extra vitamins be-
ing fee in tablet or capsule form,
Experi ;tents have been going on
for several years and were the result
of investigations following the real-
ization that Oriental races, who are
big rice caters, rarely suffer from
high blood pressure. Medical sci•
vice does such marvellous things
you wonder sometimes shy we
don't all live forever.
Back to Easter again . , , we
didn't have any Easter bunnies
around here but we did have an
Easter calf. And Partner had reason
to know it. By some queer quirk
this little calf didn't seen to know
where to find its breakfast, so Part-
ner very obligingly tried to help it.
The calf nosed around all over the
place without making direct contact
with the source of supply, and all
the thanks Partner got was a sud-
den, sharp blow on the mouth, He
doesn't know wvhcther it was the
calf's head that bumped him or
whether the cow let fly with her
foot; but be docs know he has a cut
and a swollen lip, which is very
painful and certainly does nothing
to improve his appearance. What
adds insult to injury is the fact that
the cow was sold—and paid for—
but the buyer did not come when
he 'should have done .so the cow
had time to produce her calf. And
the only reason Partner sold the
cow was so he would be saved the
extra work of having her•freshenl
A lot of trouble these days is
caused by people not living tip to
their commitments -- especially in
giving service or getting repair
work done. Promises are given
glibly enough—"Yes, we'll be in to
do that job for you next Monday,
without fail." Monday comes, and
the next and the next—and the job
still waits. Promises don't scent to
mean anything any store—a fact
which increases the tension under
which all people are now living.
And a lot of it could be avoided.
The other day I cams across a
clipping in my files which gave this
remarkable quotation from Abra-
ham Lincoln, so applicable to pre-
sent-day conditions—"Yost cannot
strengthen the weak by weakening
the strong."
The Willows
Daffodils and hyacinths Lire reach-
ing for the stun with new, , green
fingers, that brilliant greet which
always seetus so new and alive
at this time of year. Lilacs are
showing green, too, a ycllower
green with only the tips of, hesi-
tant leaves in sight at the bud
ends. Brit for the stoutest sigh of
spring in the offing and the re-
surrection of our green and leafy
world look to the willows. Look
particularly to the weeping willows.
The weeping willow is an ar-
boreal fountain all through the
year, -green u1 summer, yellow -
gold in autumn, and in winter
a graceful sketch of a fountain pen-
cilled against the grey slcy with
swift s;roke.s of tan and grey. But
when spring is in sight the weeping
willow quickens as nothing else
'that lifts a branch. It is as though
every branch and twig were suffused
with some precious golden sap.
It glows, wyithout a bud opening.
it turns the colour of old Roman
gold, which is like amber with a
special warmth in it.
Every long, graceful while comes
alive. You stand and look at a
weeping willow now and it scents
that you can almost sec a pulse
beating in it. There is no pulse,
of course, beyond the mysterious
processes by which the sap moves
upward from farthest root to far-
thest twig. And that is the same
process at work in every tree. But
in tite weeping willow it either starts
or accompanies this peculiar alive-
ness of the twigs, which shines
right through the bark. It is as
though they were so laden with
the life -juices that they can scarce-
ly wait for the leaves to open.
They glow, the whole tree glows,
with life and the return of spring;
and seeing it we know that the
stone has been rolled away from
the door and spring will soots ap-
pear unto us.—The New York

LESSON
By Rev. R. BARCLAY WARREN
B.A., B.D.
THE PERIOD OF THE
PATRIARCHS
Genesis 15:1-6; 17:5.8, 1819
Memory Selection: I am thy shield
and thy exceeding great retvtu'tl,
Genisis 15:16.
The period of the Patr'iar'chs be-
gins with the call of Abraham (1921
11,C.) and continues through the
times of Isaac, Jacob and the child-
ren of Jacob in Egypt. The history
of this period is recorded in Genesis,
chapters 12 to 50, There arc many
human -interest stories,
Abraham was the first and the
greatest of the patriarchs. His mem-
ory is cherished by the Isfoliamnte-
clans because Ile was the father of
'Ishmael:: by the Jews because he
was the father of the race of Israel;
and by the Christians because he
is appropriately termed in the Scrip-
tures, "The father of the faithful,"
In Ilebrews, Chapter 11, sometimes
called the Westminster Abbey of
the Bible, more space is devoted to
hint than to any other of the ancient
worthies who demonstrated faith.
Before Abraham left his own
land God made a covenant with
hint. "I will make of thee a great
nation and 1 will bless thee, and
nlalce thy name great; and thou
shalt be a blessing; and I will bless
them that bless thee and curse hint
that curseth thee; and in thee shall
all the families of the earth be bless-
ed." Genesis 12:2, 3. But the years
went on and Abraham was still
childless, But God assured him that
Ids descendants would be as the
stars for multitude, "and he believed
its the Lord; and IIc counted it to
hint for righteousness," When
Abram was 99 God said, "\\Valk
before me, and be thou perfect."
His name was changed from Abram
(lofty father) to Abraham (father
of a multitude), Finally the prom-
ised child was born and named
Isaac. God kept Ilis promise. Of his
descendants was Mary the virgin,
of whorl was born Jesus, the Christ
child. Truly in Him have all the
nations of the earth been blessed.
Today the Jews arc repossessing
the land given to their father Abra-
ham. Soon the day will come when
they will look upon Him whom they
have pierced and recognize in Hint
their long-awaited Messiah. Then
shall the race be a great blessing to
all nations. May God hasten the
event.
HIGH PRICED TULIPS
Tulips are beautiful flowers, no
doubt, but would you pay $2160 for
just one perfect bulb? A gentle-
man did during the 17th Century
tulipomania that swept guropc (for
a bulb of the variety Admiral Von
Enckhysen). Another man (short
of cash) swapped all this for 1 tulip:
—4 fat oxen, 3 fat swine, 12 fat
sheep, 2 hogsheads of wine, 1,000
lbs. of cheese, 1 silver tankard, 4
tuns of beer, 2.tons of butter, 2
lasts of wheat, 4 lasts of rye, 1
complete bed, 1 suit of clothes.

RELIEF IS LASTING
For fast, prolonged relief from
headache get INBTANTINE. This
prescription -like tablet contains not
just one, but three proven medical
ingredients that ease the pain fast.
And the relief is, in rnost cases, lasting.
Try INSTANT1Ns just once for paid
relief and you'll any as thousands do
that there's one thing for headache
e 1 ; it's INSTANTINEI
And try INSTANTINE for other
aches, too ; ; ; for neuritic or neuralgic
pain ; ; ; or for the pains and aches
that accompany a cold. A single tablet
usually brings
prompt relief.

I know ,hat some of you wil be
accusing me of morbid tastes when
conte hack to the matter .,f malting
will so soon after the last piece I
wrote on the subject. However,
quite recently I ran across the re-
sults of a survey which seemed so
interesting that 1 feel I should pass
them along.
* 1 *
':'his survey teas shade by a big
.American agricultural magazine, :1
large group of farm women w•CP!
asked the flip:<tion, „I las '.our hus-
band manic a will?" and when the
replies were sorted out the res11115
were as follow;:
Yes -26 per cent.
No -65 per cent
Don't know -9 per cent.
* * 1
Only 7 per cent of the women in
The 20.34 age group thought their
husbands had made a v; ill. Ihct 47
per cent of those over .0 reported
that a will had been made.
That still leaves a majority of
farmers in every age groat) with-
out wills. This is gond news for
lawyers. When anybody dies with-
out a will, there is more work for
lawyers, more chance for fancily
.arguments.
ea
* 1 1
Many tsun1cn realize this, and
wish their 11u.bands did. One wom-
an said:
"I wish more were written about
men making wills. It seems such a
harts matter to talk about. When
you're young, you're always wait-
ing until you're older and' have
more to will. For some, that is too
late." * * *
An older woman said "My man
doesn't have a will and won't make
one. He says women are too dumb
to handle money."
• * *
Even more important than a will
is the willingness of husbands to
talk over farts business with their
wives,
4 4 *
In this, farm husbands in the fam-
ilies surveyed make a good record.
Most wives are like the women who
commented:
"Yes, my husband keeps Inc in-
formed. \Ve always work together.
f hear sonic %vomen say they don't
know anything at all about the
family business, 1 wouldn't like
that." * *
The poll also asked: "If your hus-
band were to pass away suddenly,
how much would you know about
the family business affairs? Check
the statement that comes nearest
fitting your situation:"

I. My Husband keeps me inform-
ed and up-to-date on all business

'tell me anything about 'business

Middle-aged farmers make the
best record in keeping wives in-
formed. The yonng and the old rate
about equal,

,Another woman said: "He does-
n't tell me until afterward when
he has a deal on, But I keep the
books, so I guess you'd • say he,

A young woman said: "My hus-
band is of the old school, but I
manage to find out pretty well
what's going on."

One farmer in Cherokee county
testified for his wife: " Nly wife

dles the money at our house."
In another home the woman was
The Way Out—Rookie umpires as well as rookie baseball
players often get their break during spring training. Umpire
Jinn Duffy, at left, up front the American Association, received
a fete tips from veteran .American League diamond arbiter Art
1'asSarclla at a Lakeland training camp. Daffy imitates Passar-
ella who demonstrates the way to call a runner out,
more doubtful: "1 don't know what

thing, happened to John. Ile tells

U.her women, too, wondered how
they could get' along with their

ported: "1 think I know quite a bit
about the business, but when I

In a recent issue of The New
York Times Magazine we noticed
an article bearing the eye-catching
title WHAT IS REALLY THE
FASTEST SPORT? It is a title
especially eye-catching to Canadian
optics because over here for many
years past, we have had it so
gouged into us that hockey is "the
world's fastest sport" that most of
us have conte to believe that state-
ment unquestioningly, as ,an article
of faith.
* * *
However, the author of said
article—Arthr Daley, Sports Edi-
tor of The Times—is a man who
has been around. Ile has watched,
and reported on, more sport and a
wider variety of sport than most
men; and his opinions must be
respected even if he arrives at a
conclusion liable to cause much
gnashing of teeth among the plug-
gers for hockey, paid and unpaid,
* * *
Speed—says Mr. Daley—is an
essential element of all major sports
and naturally an indispensable part
of all good sporting arguments.
The devotee of one game is con-
vinced that his favorite is the near-
est thing to terrestrial lightning and
that all other sports are molasses
by contrast, while the fan for an-
other sport holds the contrary view.
* * *
If it poll of sports writers were
to, be taken, Daley thinks they
might well vote that the fastest
spot of all is jai alai—the Spanish
and Latin-American variety of
handball played with a basket
strapped to the wrist. But, he adds,
they would only serve ,up such a
verdict after looking for the near-
est emergency exit.
* * *
What determines which sport is
the fastest? Is it the speed of the
object in motion, or the amount of
rapid and continuous action by the
players? That is to 'say, speed is

relative, and a man careening down
a mountainside on a bobsled at
seventy utiles an hour will get a
far greater sensation of speed than
he would in a jet plane flashing
through the stratosphere faster
than sound. And speed in sports is
relative too. Every schoolboy knows
that a horse can outrun a plan; but
how many of them know that in a
100 yard clash the horse will finish
second,
* r *
Daley -recalls the histdric occa-
sion when John Mc(r;tw, down in
FIavana, promoted a race between
a horse and his speediest base -
runner, flans Lobert. In later years
Lobcrt, when ;asked the result, used
to say "1 win by a nose"—which
might have been considerable of
a margin, at that, as Flans had a
schnozzle which was well up in the
Jimmy Durantc class.
* * *
)low much bearing does actual
speed have in rating the fastest
sport? the article goes on. Gene
Sarazen once drove a golf hall at
a measured 120 miles per hour. The
utmost speed of a hockey puck Inas
been set by calibrating machines at
a mere 88 m.p.h. But does that
slake golf a faster game than
hockey? We don't have to answer
that one for you,
* * *
Borrowing some figures from
Frank Menke's "Encyclopedia of
Sport," Daley compares baseball,
boxing and tennis. The great Bob
Feller—when lit had that liop on
his fast one—threw a baseball at
a speed of 96.6 miles an hour. Joe
Louis' fists were once measured as
travelling at 127 miles an hour,
those of Jack Dempsey 8 utiles
faster than that, But a tennis ball
whammmed by I3ig Bill Tilden re-
gistered 151 utiles an hour. Would
you say that tennis was the fastest
sport of the three? That is ,unless
you're a dyed-in-the-wool tennis
bug.
* * *
Baseball produces speedy action'
—at tinges. \Vith the bases full a
batter rips a grounder at the op-
posing shortstop, who elects to try
for a double play. The pitcher
throws — the batter swings — the
shortstop fields the ball and tosses
it to the second baseman, who
catches the ball and relays it to
first. Five men are involved in that
play—and it all takes only five
seconds to shake,

But that doesn't maker baseball
tops for speed, The play slops at
each half inning for the teams to
change sides. There are long de-
lays between each pitch. Even the
pitcher, the busiest scan on the
team, makes only about a hundred
throws a gangs. There' plenty of
speed—but lots of slow intervals
too.
Football, too, has a lot of the
"pause that refreshes"—or that irri-
tates if one wants continuous action.
Two running play's per minute of
this sixty -minute game arc about
average, Although it has exciting
moments, the gridiron sport is not
a contender for "fastest" distinc-
tion. Nor is boxing. Ring action
may be fast and constant, but there
is something about the Busted
Beak Industry that is at cross-
purposes to this groping search. It
is too highly individualistic, which
inay also be said of tennis and
golf.
4, * *
The sane thing is true of the
"fastest sport"—jai alai—which is
played With two men on a team, It
gets its reputation from the inces-
sant sprinting of the players around
the court, a three -sided affair that
may be 175 feet or.Tllore in length,
and from the velocity of -the base-
ball -type missile which they catch
A SAFE
OINTMENT
and hurl by means of the spoon -
shaped racquet wielded with one
arnt. Like the games it resembles
--handball and racquets—it is a
game of individual speed.
* * *
At this point Author Daley be-
gins treading on delicate ground;
and it is probably a good thing
for all concerned that, when the
article appeared, Conn Smythe and
the rest of hockey's Big Brass
were probably too much engaged
with the playoffs to take notice of
such heresy.
* * 4
It seems that when fans debate
on the subject of speed—he says—
they are talking about team sport.
If this be so, it brings us to a
comparison of hockey, which many
consider our speediest game, and
basketball, whose mushroom
growth in the past seventeen years
has no parallel in athletic history.
Almost by a process of elimination
the quest for the "fastest sport"
designation has to rest between
these two,
✓ * *
When the ice game came to the
U.S. from Canada in. 1924 it was
called the "world's fastest sport,'
The Label has 'gone unchallenged
and the impression remains that
hockey is faster than basketball.
At the deadly risk of losing his
Canadian readers. this reporter de-
nies 1L. I think basketball is faster
than hockey. I admit that the puck -
chasers give a greater illusion of
speed but I insist that it is just
that—an illusion.
M * *
'1'o offset the illusion consider the
relative speed of the players. The
speed -skater wears far faster skates
than the hockey player. If he can't
(as has been proved) surpass a
sprinter at the short distance of
100 yards, show can he ever gather
momentum enough to stove faster
than the scan on foot in the restrict-
ed arca of a hockey court? More-
over, a man wearing gum -soled
shoes on a board floor has _much
more maneuverability than a man
wearing skates on ice. It isn't only
speed afoot that counts in this
over-all picture of swiftness. One
must also take into consideration
the flow of movement, which is
more rapid on the basketball floor
than on the ice.
* * *
The game has become so swift,
so filled with 'constant action, that
it has even reached into the press
box. No longer can a basketball re-
porter keep Itis scoring tablets and
simultaneously write a running
story of the game. He has to bring
a "scorekeeper" with him to keep
track of the avalanche of points.
* * *
Baseketball has sprinted ahead of
its refrigerated rival iii team sliced
and in the process has become the
•most popular sport, In the long
run, it's speed that counts.
* * *
To all of which—with a profound
bow to Mr. Daley for his help—
we merely add a couple of obser
vations, Basketball was invented by
a Canadian. And hockey, no mat-
ter how you rate it as a sport, has
yet failed, in all its comparatively
lengthy history, to develop even
one per cent of the crooks and
double crossers that basketball has
turned out in its comparatively
short one, \Vhat is more, we defy
basketball to produce any radio an-
nouncer who can make even its
speediest contest sound one-tenth
as fast and exciting as Foster I-Icw-
itt turns some of the slowest and
creepiest hockey struggles into for
the benefit of the faithful.
Eighty years ago Irwin S.
Pierre's another gave hint a jar
of blackberry jam for his tenth
birthday. The other day, Pierce
now a San Francisco resident ,ate
the jam and said it lasted fine. "I
couldn't resist the temptation any
longer," he said. '

wvhcther pint-sized Edith Piaf is
as talentel an actress as she is a
realistic singer, She has been given
the title role in "La l''tite Lili," i
new' musical conicdy.
She'll play the part of a Paris
"sparrow," or street s•nger. That
is cx::ctly what Edith Piaf was
when she st:o•trd her career.
Author Marcel .\cliarJ says Piaf
is a natural. Ile declared that from
the very first rehearsal she instinc-
tively responded to state directing.
Piaf, he say, was his stain inspira-
tion when he started writing "La
, P'tite I.ili."
Broadly *caking, the musical is
written around the theme of the
eternal lovers. "Tritan and 1solde,

ple thoughts and reactions. The
play is also a protest against sui-
cide."
Co-starring with Piaf is Robert
Lamoureux, another newcomer in
the theatrical world. Lamoureux
recently burst into fame as a radio
performer over the national net-
work. Before that he had appeared
in a comic one -than act in music
halls 111 the provinces. He is young,
dynamic and handsome.
Also in the cast is Eddie Constan-
tine. An American, born in Los An-
geles, Constantine was known as
a radio performer in U.S. He met
Piaf when she was singing in New
York. At the experiation of her
contract, he accompanied her back
to Paris. In the last few months

Wills Written
in )beer Plc.ces
Queerest wiil ever wwas tatooed
on a sailor's back with a signature
on his thigh. properly attested and
quite legal. Probably the simplest
will was penned by a 1 -nigh Court
judge on a half -sheet of notepaper,
bequeathing .CSIlt1.000, The longest
will was a 95.000 -word epie pe:nied
by a y'0111an who eventually made
her will the whole aim and object of
her lire.
Years in the Courts
With the ponderous manuscript
constantly at her side, friends
thought she was working on a
novel. Having codicil after codicil,
it gave directions for the distribu-
tion of over £1.000,000. Unfortun-
ately she left only £20,583, and the
courts took rears to clear up the
muddle. More successful was the
20,000 -word will of Sir John Eller -
man. A model of clarity it even had
an index to the various sections and
disposed of over £36,000,000.
Then there was the industrialist
who set his £200.000 fortune in
order with fourteen words scrawled
on a sixnennv will form; and Sir
Henry Hamilton's famous nine --
word entailment, "To my wife;
after her decease, to my daughter."
Equally concise was a sailor's will,
written on an eggshell, "To May.
Everything I possess."
A Liverpool shipowner made his
will on the lining of his hat. A \wo-
man painstakingly wove her last
directions into a tapestry. Wills
have been written on flour bags,
scratched in watches on even in-
scribed on wallpaper. A solicitor
who fell through the ice while skat-
ing on Windermere managed to
support himself for a time, and,
with commendable calm, scratched
a few words with a penknife. Un-
fortunately. the will was upset, for
it was never properly witnessed.
In the vaults of Somerset House,
the last resting place of over
59,000,000 wills, are such oddities
as a will chalked on a door and an-
other written on the improvised
sail of a raft by a seaman torpedoed
in the Atlantic.
Mortally wounded in the Pacific,
an American soldier scribbled his
bequests on the cuff of a nurse's
uniform. Another Service man
scratched his final directions on his
identity disc, including his signa-
ture and those of two witnesses.

STICKS NOSE INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S
BUSINESS FOR 27 YEARS
Orphan Annie, the little girl of
Harold Gray's comic strip, has one
fixed idea. It is simply this: "Keep
your nose tidy!"
Annie arrived at this philosophy
by sticking her nose into other
people's business for nearly 27
years. Even at the start, in the
Fall of 1924, in Chicago, in the
"age of innocence," she was wise
beyond her years.
Harold Gray became 30 years
older' than his creation last Jan,
20. Looking back front this 57th
birthday over the years, he opined
that his own philosophy coincided
closely with Annie's, If there has
been any moral behind the multi-
farious adventures experienced .by
the ageless orphan, it alight best be
summed up in that sante inelegant
expression, "Keep your nose, tidy)"
Life As It Is
Mr, Gray; the Kantakee farm
boy, now a plutocrat, but to his way
of thinking "damned little changed
by the years," hopes there has been
no moral at all. In writing and
drawing the strip, he has aimed to
picture life as it is. He has studied
humanity.
In the Gray strip, Annie is the
constant foil. Life flows by her like
a river while she stands still, Float-
ing on the tide arc both the good
and the bad, Annie sizes them up,
but does not try to change them
writes Philip Schuyler in Editor &
Publisher.
"God deliver nuc from a reformer,
even an honest one," Mr, Gray eja-
culated the other day. "I dislike
preaching, and missionaries of any
kind. I don't )mean religious mission-
aries exclusively. They are bad
enough. Worse, in my opinion, are
communistic evangelists, or evan-
gelists of democracy, or the capital-
istic system.
Against Butting In
'Why can't we leave each other
alone? Butting i11to the other fel-
low's business is a prime cause of
trouble, misery and war.
writing, but also accompanied it
with a sound film, showing hint
reading the will and adding a few
, forthright reniarlis on the faults and
virtues of his heirs. Just as trouble-
some to the executors was a than
whose will took five years to open.
IIe had placed it in a complicated
series of envelopes, the outer one
marked "To be opened six yeeks
after my death," the next inscribed,
"To be opened a year after," and
so on.
Count Tolstoy wrote his will on
the stump of a tree. Nelson made
codicils in his diary. Wills have
been made in speranto and in short-
hand, and have been successfully
made by gramophone record, com-
plete with signatures scratched on
the label.
"It is much more ditlicult to
tamper with a spoken will than a
written one," said a. Mr. 'Theodore
Mantz, of Des Moines, as he dic-
tated his will into a microphone. A
judge thought otherwise. "Where
there's a will there's a way to break
it," he -remarked. "In this case drop
the subject on a tiled flfloorl"

"There are eternal verities easy
enough for all to learn: tell the
truth; work hard, save your money
to be independent; in short, 'keep
your n o s e tidy!' A n d that's
enough."
The millions who follow "Annie"
in the more than 275 daily and
Sunday papers pay off the author
artist handsomely; possibly for
constantly mirroring the composite
mind of the multitude.
The Gray income runs at about
$130,000 a year, He says he has to
work hard from 11 a.ni. to 11 p.m,
seven days a week to keep paying
his taxes to Uncle Sam, The 25 -
room Georgian mansion his comic
creatures bought on Sasco (-Jill at
Southport, Conn., was recently ap-
praised at $750,000.
It's tip for sale. The Grays have
bought another place across the
bay from the present four -ace es-
tate, The new 10 -roost house would
just about fit in the living room
at Southport, but it is set on 22
acres of land. A farm -born boy,
Harold likes land. But doesn't like
faring, and doesn't farm.
The Roving Kind
The Grays like to keep on the
move. If it isn't front one house
to another, it is in their 'Lincoln
touring the United States or Cana-
da. One summer they went abroad.
But they prefer this side of the
Atlantic, and "the long brown road,
leading wherever you choose."
The Syndicate slakes Mr. Gray
keep a three months' supply of
strips ahead. On a trip, if he gets
behind, he'll "hole up" at a hotel
for two or three days and catch up,
1-fis cousin, Bob Leffingwell does
the lettering and puts in some of
the backgrounds. Bob also has his
own two strips, "Little `Joe" and
"The General." Bob's and Harold's
mothers were twin sisters, Bob is
unmarried and lives in Fairfield,
Conn.
His Only Collaborator
When Ilarold is in Southport,
Bob conies to work every day at
the Gray's. They have two desks
there in a book -lined, study. Both
can and do work while a radio
blares, Television proved too dis-
concerting, and was banished up-
stairs. Bob is Ilarold's only colla-
borator, if you can call hint that.
Ilarold thinks no one can illustrate
another person's ideas as well as
the originator.
"I'm no artist," he insists. "I've
never gone to any art school, But
I know what I want and do the
best 1 can, Bob docs the dirty
work."
A common trick with Mr. Gray
is to spell a name backwards. Ile
doesn't like to use ordinary navies,
because he's bothered enough by
people who all the time are -recog-
nizing themselves in a strip, attd
write. in about .it, Some 20 have
threatened shit. Only one, however,
ever took the case into a court, On
Mr. Gray's advice, the syndicate
refused to settle, and after several
years of asking vainly for $10,000
for a damaged reputationi, the plain-
tiff dropped the whole thing a short
time ago,
The continuity that led to this
suit concerned an OPA ration board
head and the similarity of names of
a Gray character, symbolical of a
snoop, and of an 01'A elan in Con-
necticut,
Other people enjoy identifying
themselves with Gray's true-to-life
characters, Such a one was a 11iss
Clare Treat, head of a home for
incorrigible children in Jowa. Mr,
Gray had never met anyone by
that name when he gave it to a
terrible head of a girls' home, The
Jowa Treat was delighted.
Who Is Annie?
In the case of Annie herself, no
one knows who her lost parents
Capt, Joseph M. Patterson, late
were, or at least no one is telling,
editor of the New York Daily News
and I-Jarold Gray were the obstetri-
cians at her birth. Mr, Gray was
on the Chicago'Tribunc at the time,
Ile had been working with Sid
Smith, helping him draw "The
Gunips." The Captain %ranted a
new strip for the News.
"Make it for grownup people,
not for kids," the Captain advised,
"Kids don't buy papers. Their par-
ents clo."
• Mr, Gray was enjoying his job
on the Tribune. Most of all, he
liked to roans Chicago streets with
other newspaper sten, 'stopping at
their hangouts for a late snack, One
early morning on the streets, he
caught sight of a little gamin, quite
evidently in the so-called age of
innocence, wise as an old owl,
"I talked to this little kid and
liked her right away," he recalled.
"She had common sense, knew how
to take care of herself, She had to.
Iter name was Annie.
"At the time some 40 strips were
using boys, as the Main characters;
only three were using girls. I chose
Annie for mine, and made her an
orphan, so she'd have no family, no
tangling alliances; but freedom to
go where she pleased.
"Patterson and I worked over
the first strips 'together, We kept
clear of violent action, such as kids
like, kept our story as close to life
as we could."
Thus was Annie born, never to
grow up, although sonic of today's
readers are grandchildren of the
first who followed the strip.
Simple Things
The young fry, if they ever pon-
der on the way of life thirty to forty
years ago, doubtless wonder what
the old lean did to enjoy himself.
Things roust have been awfully
dull. No radio. No television. Auto. -
mobiles that were chugging, un-
dependable piles of junk, Movies
that were silent, fuzzy flops , . .
This bleak appraisal of yester-
day gives us no self-pity. We find
it a bit amusing, a bit pathetic,
The average teen-ager today
might deem it a fate worse than
death to spend an evening at honk
listening to dad read a book, Dad
might think it a bit ludicrous him-
self.
But the fancily should try it some
winter evening. They might get
hold of something good. To stake
the setting complete there should
be bowls of apples and popcorn
within easy reach. , .
We feel rather sorry for today's
youth. His scenes a shallow quest,
hurried and forced and somehow
artificial,
And the simple things of yester-
day were so rewarding,

GARDEN NOTES
Something Will Fit
No smatter how unfavorable the
location there is some flower, vege-
table or shrub that will thrive in it
and actually prefer such a situation,
The ideal garden, of course, is open
to the sun and the soil is a dell,
well -chained loam. But there are
many plants Melt do not cart for
this. Some flowers, vegetables and
certain varieties of grass prefer
shade, some want acid soil rather
than sweet, sonic like heavy clay
better than loamor sand, some ac-
tually do better in poor soil than
rice,
'1'11e thing in planning is to con-
sider these special likes and dis-
likes, then to select those plants
that suit ones special location.
Special information in the seed cata-
logues will help in plant1ing,
Host vegetables, however, arc
pretty keen on a generous amount
of sun but they have distinct likes
and dislikes in the matter of soil.
For deep-rooted things like car-
rots, potatoes, etc., it is important
that the soils be fairly loose at
least a foot down, Many types pre-
fer sandy soil to clay, But no mat-
ter what the soil is like to start
with by a little planning and build-
ing one can change it fairly easily.
* .r 'k
Must Like Our Climate
It's a waste of time, labor and
money to try to grow certain ten-
der flowers or other plants which
may do beautifully in Britain of
the Southern United States, Our
climate, soil and other conditions
are not suitablq. '1'o guard against
discouragement one is advised to
stick to those flowers, shrubs and
vegetables that arc specially rec-
ommended for Canadian conditions,
These are the varieties and types
tested under Canadian conditions
and are recommended by Canadian
authorities,
*
Lawn Work
One can't sow lawn grass seed
too soon in the spring. Sonic people
even broadcast over the last snow
and as it melts it carries the seed
down into the soft earth, On a
sloping place, of course, this might
not be advisable where running
water might carry seed away.
Good grass seed consists of a
blend of several different grasses,
Some of these germinate quickly,
providing sonic cover and also the
necessary protection for the later -
more permanent sorts. For shady
locations one should get a special
mixture. Either for patching or new
lawns, grass seed should be sown
liberally and lightly raked in.
Like most plants grass will ap-
preciate good soil and an occasional
application of fertilizer. As new
grass is easily pulled out so one
should make sure the mower is
sharp for the first few cuttings,
especially,
Back in 1927 Jacob Sullivan and
hula 'Thomson were divorced. The
other day they were remarried at
Carthage, Mo, Sullivan is now 78,
his wife, 73. Said Sullivan: "\Vc
found we missed each other."

Business Women
Of A Bygone Day
'I.'hc "Sllc-Jlcrcltant" v,:t> a re-
ol;nized figure in the business
e•orld of colonial den's. In Colonial
Women of Affairs, the estimate was
rliered lha. nine or 1(1 per cent of
the shops of the play %etre managed
by women.
Biographies, town histories, and
memoirs give the name of a shop-
hevOing tyotuan now and Then, but
st (dont nude more, The historian
of \\Tethersfield, Connecticut, listed
Anna Deming as one of the -most
prominent merchants in the tntyu•
.. 0itli "an (X (IISiye assortment
of European and Indian goods."
. . lit Grandmother Tyler's Book
rine reads: "Aunt Kate and my 'no -
titer soon opened a little shop,
where they traded in English goods
till my sister (ate grew up and
married henry Putnam, Esq. ,

chttsetts, %vas opened in the winter
of 1797-98, "Sister la:e," y. ho was
married in 1807,.hecantc the mother
of Gene. e Palmer Puts:un. .
Some woolen merchants, indeed,
were more than a platter of course.
\'irginia Penny, writing in 1862,
reported that many of the fortunes
in Boston were said to have been
founded by twine') engaged in
trade. As car as the present writer
can judge, :he women of other
cities engaged in business %yith
equal freedom and success; but
there were certainly several out-
standing Boston woolen about
whom information has been pre-
served.
Miss Penny may %yell have had in
mind, inter alia, the Perkins and
allied families, 1'honlas 1-iandasyde
Perkins, a leading merchant and
citizen of the' early nineteenth cen-
tury, owed much to his mother,
Elizabeth Peck Perkins . An
attractive advertisement of import-
ed china and glassware which she
inserted in the Roston newspapers
for 1773 is quited in Colonial Wom-
men of Affairs. She was part owner
of a vessel which was leased to the
French government for a while, to
help transport troops to the West
Indies. She had frequent corres-
pondence with a Dutch house.
•
'1'he leading woman merchant of
pre -Civil \Var Boston, however,
was a spinster who built up her
business front the very beginning.
When only sixteen years old she
(Ann Bent) was apprenticed to a
Boston firm which dealt in crockery
and dry goods, and as soon as she
was twenty-one (in 1789) she
opened a shop of her own. She was
not a frequent advertiser, evidently
she attracted trade by other means,
Mrs Dall wrote of Miss Bent
and another shop -keeper, Miss
Kinsley: "'Cltcy were the first wom-
en in our society to confer a mar-
ketable value upon taste. Instead
of importing largely for themselves,
they bought of the Ncw York im-
porters the privilege of selection,
and always took the prettiest and
nicest pieces out of every case. As
they paid for this privilege them-
selves, so, they charged their cus-
tomers for it, by asking a little
more on each yard of goods than
the common dealer."
Other people pout have agreed
with Mr. Doll's comment. ".[ know
nothing for which it is pleasanter
to pay than for taste," for ,Miss ,
Bent's business prospered, , . Fier
business success gave her not only
a livelihood, but also the means of
wide gcnerosi;y. — From "Career
Women of America: 1776.1840," by

Women Past 40 Can Veil Their Age
BY EDNA MILES
MANY women, when they reach the far side of forty, decide they
are past the age for such fripperies as veils. Actually, they
have just achieved the point at which veils are most necessary—
and usually—most becoming.
• If crow's feet, frown creases or lines have begun to mar the
beauty of your face, now's the time to learn about the flattery of
veils. In the same way that a softly -shaded light plays down
facial imperfections, a bit of netting across your face will veil the
tell-tale marks of age.
Experiment a little, until you've found the veil that does most
for you. The shape of your face, your hair -do and your hat are all
factors to be considered.
Remember, an observer's eye will see the lower edge of the
veil as a line across the face. Rarely is it attractive to see a flat,
horizontal line sweeping across a woman's face. This tends to
make the cheeks look broad,
Round the bottom of the vell upward a bit, following the contour
of the cheekbones, or, if it's a long veil, the jaw line.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lea
Q. When a man takes a girl to
the movies, should she go with him
to the ticket window to buy the
tickets, or walk on into the theatre?
A. If there is not much of a line,
she can walk ahead very slowly
while he buys the tickets, and they
enter together. But when there is a
very long lint, she should stand
beside hint and keep hint company
until he gets close to the window.
Then she goes on ahead and waits
for hits un:i1 he joins her.
Q. When you are not sure
whether a man and a girl have been
introduced, is it all right to say,
"Mr. Gibson, have you met Miss
Carter?"
A. Yes; this gives the honor to
the girl, and is better than asking
14liss Carter if she has met Mr,
Gibson.
Q. What is the preferred kind of
mourning stationery now used?
A. Plain white stationery. The
black -bordered paper is not used as
mucus now as formerly:
Q. If a small paper cup of apple-
sauce is served o11 one's dinner plate
and it is too small to eat from with
a fork or spoon, is it all right to
empty the contents into the dinner
plate?
A, Yes. '('urn the cup over and
use your fork to empty it. Then
put the empty cup on the dinner
plate to one side, out of your way.
Q. When cutting the wedding
cake is the bride supposed to take
care of this chore?
A, The bride cuts only the first
piece, Then each guest can cut
his own slice, or some friend can
be asked to do this, or a staid can
cut it.
Q. Is "Dear Sirs" proper as a sal-
utation of a business letter?
A. No. ''Gentlemen" is the pre-
ferred forts,
Q. Should a bride wear her en-
gagement ring on the third finger
of her left hand at her wedding?
A. No. Inasmuch as the engage-
ment ring is worn over the wedding
ring, she should either leave her
engagement ring at home or wear
it on her right Hand, transferring
it later to the proper finger- on her
left hand,
Q. How should a divorcee sign
