Now 'Possom Trot'
Got Its. Name
"Where did you get that name
--Possom Trot?" How often the
question is asked is something
we've never tried to keep track
of, but it's plenty often, And
after an experience we had this
week I'm going to be able to
answer it with a flourish. The
name itself is a good and time-
honored place -name of the
mountain people who started
from the eastern seaboard, along
about the time they'd won the
war that made America a na-
tion, and trickled westward
through Cumberland Gap. In
the years that followed they
settled the mountains of Ken-
tucky and Tennessee and the
hills of north Georgia and sou-
thern Indiana. Then they came
to "th' purtiest hills of all" and
drove their roots deep down in-
to the rocky crevices of the
Ozarks. Wherever these folks
stopped and wherever they pas-
sed, you'll find the names they
carried with them. All you
need do is take out over Thorny
Low Gap and drop down into
Poot Holler: then cross Chilly
Branch and head up Turkey Run
and that'll bring you right to
possom Trot, If the path runs
into a squirrel track which heads
tip a big den -tree and peters out
on a knothole, use the technique
Bob Burns made famous and
"swing in on a grapevine!" Just
take my word for it and follow
those directions and you'll come
safely to Possom Trot.
Four autumns ago, when we
had bought our bit of land but
hadn't cleared the woods away
enough to set up housekeeping,
we used to drive out evenings
in every kind of weather. I
guess we wanted to see whether
the view stood up as well under
a driving ram or a gray and
threatening sky as it didwhen
the sun dropped into the river
through a bank of Hazing
clouds. It did and it still does!
On a certain clear, crisp even-
ing in early December, we saw
our hills and bit of valley under
their first light fall of snow and
it was beautiful. We left the
car at the hilltop and walked
Build Porch Suppers Around Fried Chicken
BY DOROTHY MADDOX
NOW Is the season for informal but substantial' porch or back
yard suppers, They can be pleasant 'affairs and need not take
too much preparation time, Base them on crispy fried chicken for
best results.
Remember, if you are serving the chicken cold and want 'toook
it the day before or early in the day, be certain to refrigerate it
well, For safety's sake, that is vitally important, Also, when taking
chicken to the beach or to a picnic spot, refrigerate it thoroughly
first. Arrange to keep it'cold and eat itwithin 4 hours,
Butter -Crisp Chicken
One 2-3 pound frying chicken; atilt, pepper, 1 cup flour, 1 tea-
spoon paprika, r/4 pound butter, shortening, thyme, if desired, thin
onion rings, if desired.
Have chicken drawn and cut into serving pieces. Rinse in cold
water and drain, Put salt, pepper, flour and paprika in paper bag.
Shake 3 to 4 pieces of chicken in the bag at a time to coat thor-
oughly. Heat enough butter and shortening in a heavy skillet to
make a layer of fat V inch deep. With kitchen tongs place chicken
in hot tat, Brown on both sides, Place chlckeh, one layer deep, in
shallow baking pan.
For added flavor sprinkle with thyme and onion. Pour melted
butter over chicken pieces. Bake in moderate oven (950 degrees Fc)
until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes, Baste with melted butter
after 15 minutes of baking,

Here's another suggestion for a porch supper menu:
Biscuit Beef Roll
(4 generous -servings).
Two tablespoons fat, y4 cup finely diced onion, 1 small clove
garlic, minced; 1 pound chopped beef, 1 teaspoon kitchen bouquet,
0 -ounce can tomato paste, 1,4 cup finely diced green pepper, 1 tea-
spoon salt, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon pepper, y4 teaspoon chill
powder, i4 teaspoon powdered oregano, 1 cup biscuit mix, about
'4 cup milk,
Melt fat in frying pan oyer low heat. Add onion and garlic and
cook about 1 minute. Add chopped beef pulled into small bits and

tree which was to overhang our
house, although we didn't know
it then, Suddenly, in the gather-
ing dusk. Mama pointed to an
indistinct small form, scurrying
through the snow for the safety
of the woods.
"Rabbit," she said, excitedly,
since even then we felt a pro-
priety interest in our wildlife. -
"Rabbit nothing," I said, with
the superior air of an average
husband or a woodsman sure of
his quarry. "That's a POS-
SOM—and Mama, if you haven't
set your heart on some such
soupy name as Drip -honey Acres,
let's call the place Possom Trot,"

"STOPPED TOO EARLY"
"It is now more than ten years since some very definite con-
clusions were reached by the Committee on Artificial Respiration
of the Health league of Canada as to the possibilities and limita-
tions of artificial respiration, especially in cases of drowning,"
writes Dr. Gordon Bates, general director of the Health League.
"It is surprising that the lessons learned at that time seem too
frequently to have been forgotten and that, time after time, one
reads newspaper reports of artificial respiration having been
stopped too early,"
Dr. Bates summarizes some of the chief points which should
be generally known as follows:
(1) There is hope of reviving persons apparently drowned
even though the duration of immersion has been up to
half an hour. Persons hove been revived after up to this
period under water.
(2) The fact that most of the usual signs of life are often
entirely absent in an apparently drowned person is not
a final indication of death. Persons have been revived
by artificial respiration after hours of apparent death
from various causes, Until some indication of life appar-
ent to everyone appeared,.there was no pulse, no heart
sound audible by stethoscope examination, no reflex of
any kind,
(3) Artificial respiration should be commenced immediately
in all cases under water for. Tess than half an hour and
should be continued without an instant intermission until
all hope is lost,
(4) The rule laid down by the Health League of Canada's
committee was that it should be continued for a minimum
of four hours or until rigor mortis has set in; and there
should be no exception to this rule.
(5) Additional rules have to do with keeping the patient
warm by all means possible and seeing to it that the air
passages are clear.
"This last suggestion is very important," the Health League
director emphasizes. "In many cases it has been found that a
laryngeal spasm exists, This condition, while" it effectively prevents
water from getting into the lungs, also prevents the entry of air,
At the moment, no more effective means of opening the larynx
is known other than seeing that the tongue is pulled out during
artificial respiration,"

real champion "steel driver" on
the C&O whose "ten -pound

Big Bend Tunnel in the early
1870's,
But "Cayce" (Casey) Jones was
a real engineer, He did drive the
Illinois Central's Cannon Ball
Express from Memphis, Tennes-
see,- to Canton, Mississippi, ("A
car roller, and in my estimation
the prince of them al]," said one
of his•conductors:) He did mount
"to the cabin with his orders in
his hand," and then, when "Old
number four stared us right in
the face," shout to his fireman,
"Boy, you'd better jump," before
taking "his farewell trip to the
promised land" with one hand en
the throttle and the other on the
whistle cord,
They've put up a"granite monu-
ment to the engineer from Cayce,
Kentucky, at Vaughan, Missis-
sippi, the hamlet where his "six -
eight wheeler" plowed into .the
rear box cars of a freight that
hadn't cleared the . siding, That
was near midnight of April 29,
1900, His Negro fireman, Sim
Webb, who jumped at his order,
was on hand at the dedication
last month. So was his widow,
bright-eyed Mrs, John Luther
Jones. And they rang the bell

Consider The Lilies
From the dawn of civilization,
lilies appear to have been asso-
ciated with man, They were an
easily available source of food
and a conspicuous one by virtue
of brilliantly colored flowers.
Apparently, as soon as man set-
tled down long enough to garden,
he cherished lilies, , . . At the
same time, even in these early
civilizations, lilies must have had
an aesthetic appeal, for remark-
ably clear pictures of them ap-
pear on Cretan pottery made
some two thousand years before
Christ. An early Egyptian relief,
now preserved in Paris, shows
women gathering lilies, others
pressing them to obtain the es-
sential oil,.
From Greece, the Madonna lily
traveled to Rome, . , , The women
of Rome used the sap, Tressed
from the same lilies, as a skin -
cleansing preparation, and they
or Roman soldiers carried bulbs
• on expeditions of conquest
throughout Eurppe. In this way,
at the beginning of the Christian)
era, the Madonna lily came to
the countries that are now Ger-
many, Holland and England, It
was then also that this lily be-
came a symbol of purity and im-
portant in religion. Lilies are
often mentioned in the Bible, al-
though the "lilies of the field"
may actually have been iris, . , .
Leonnrdo da Vinci drew a de-
tailed pencil sketch of the Ma-
donna lily, a flower stock identi-
cal with the old-fashioned type
still grown in gardens, Later, in
the Sixteenth and Seventeenth
Centuries, lilies were a favorite
subject of famous flower paint-
ers,
With the passing of the Middle
Ages, lilies were valued in gar-
dens of the Northern Hemisphere,
As new worlds were discovered,
they too contributed lilies, plants
eagerly sought by amateur gar-
deners, Thus soon after the dis-
covery of Canada by Jacques
Cartier, L, canadense was
brought to Paris and London,
When trade with Japan and
China became possible, lilies
were among the first plants im-
ported from those countries,
With the discovery and develop-
ment of the West Coast of North
America, the fine lilies growing
there were soon ,collected, named
and distributed to growers in
other`parts of the world,
Lilium candidum, the Madonna
lily, and several European species
were grown in English gardens
as early as 1600, We find L. can-
adense described in John Par-
kinson's The Garden of Pleasant
Flowers, which appeared in 1629.
Other lilies grown at that time
were L, bulbiferum and L, chal-
cedonicum, the Red Martagon of
Constantinople, Two hundred
years later, in 1832 to be exact,
L, speciosum rubrum arrived
from Japan, and after another
thirty years, L. auratum, the
famous gold -banded lily, Lilium
henryi, which exerted such a
great influence in our modern
garden lilies, did not arrive until
1809, and L. regale was not dis-
covered until 1903.—From "The
New Book of Lilies," by Jan de
Grariff,

In this rugged country studded
with shaft heads and piles of
tailing, people are rugged too,
For them it is not North and
South, for them it still is "new"

"old" down around Oshawa and
Toronto.
You can meet many a p;oneer
who came in here fifty and
more years ago when there were
no roads or railways and they
had to portage all theiir belong-
ings.
In those times to carry a hun-
dred pound bag of seed potatoes
through twenty miles of bush
to a neightbour was considered
"just a friendly gesture".

friendly, they are hospitable,

there is no reluctance, no hesi-
tancy; you will get it whether
you like it or not.

discussion, be it economic, religi-

on the two; by the time this re-
port appears, we will know who
won.
Ye Bad ' Olde Times,
In this Northland with its long
hard winters, a man has to be
on the move, he has to be pro-
gressive and aggressive to sur-
vive. He has to have a good
memory and remember a mis-
take, not to repeat it.
That is why the Conservatives
have nothing to hope for in a
district 'where the people have
not forgotten the times when the
young folks were riding the rods
and the older men were working
on the roads, getting paid with
cheques marked 'relief,' at the

there is open quota for high test

The season is much later than
in 'old' Ontario, of course. The
spring grain is still green and u
lot of hay has to be brought in
yet. Much of it is being put up

"Easter Island"
Pace Of Mystery
"Easter 'Island first stop," air-
lines operating over the Pacific
may soon be announcing Chil-
eans, whose one colony it is, plan
to make the island of the giant
stone statues and strange rock
' carvings "one of the principal
air -links of the South Pacific,"
It is quite a practicable ambi-
tion, The Australian airman, Cap-
tain P, G. Taylor, worked out
after a survey flight that land -
planes could make the trip be-
tween Chile and Australia in
three days, with Easter Island
as the stop nearest South Amer-
ica. There are plenty of good
sites for air strips on the island•
and aviation is developing rap-
idly in the Pacific. Then think
of the attraction this 40 square
miles of mystery would hold for
tourists,'
Aircraft eat up the vast dis-
tances between one small island
or group of islands and the next.
But scattered over an expanse of
ocean, four times as big as Eur-
ope, we find the relics of a van-
ished civilization. The huge stone
statues of Easter. Island are re-
peated in the Marquesas; there
are great pyramids built in steps
in Tahiti and Samoa, and an
elaborate system, of canals and
harbour works at Ponape, in the
CarolInes.
Throughout the Polynesian. Ar-
chipelago there is the legend that
these works were carried out by
white men with red hair and
beards—and there were still
many red-haired, bearded, pale -
skinned men among , the Wand-
ers when the first ships from
Europe started exploring in the
Pacific.
There must have been quite a
lot of ocean voyaging in these
regions centuries before air-
craft, or steamships, • or the
wooden ships of Captain Cook
and company. The theory that it
was done by raft and started
from Peru, where there are sim-
ilar monuments and a similar
legend of bearded, white men,
was the inspiration of the fam-
ous Kon-tiki expendition.
This proved that rafts could
do it. Thor Heyerdahl and his
companions made their trip from
Peru, 4,300 miles across the
South Seas, in 101 days,
The thory is that this migra-
tion took place about 1,400 years
ago. Another wave of men of a
different, darker -skinned race, is

Ocean exploration did not be-

were Chinese,
Chinese junks were trading

Caesars ruled In Rome, A jade
figure of the Chinese god of long

near Darwin, shows that they

Experts say the figure was
thirteenth or fourteenth century,
and it was found in the roots
of a banyan tree, which is not
native to Australia, but is highly
regarded by the Chinese That

There is evidence also that

A SparrrngPartner
Who Made Good
When Jim Corbett was world's
heavyweight champion, a big,
lumbering ox of a man from Car -
011, Ohio, came to the training
camp to serve as a sparring part-
ner. The new man was rugged
and, he was strong, with the
punch of a mule in either fist.
Corbett was riding high at the
time, for was he not the man who
had licked the great John L.
Sullivan and shorn him of his
title? Corbett hired the lumber-
ing ox with a lordly wave of the
hand and stepped into the roped -
off arena with him.
The new sparring partner serv-
ed the clever champion well for
a few days. Then; the big ox •
forgot himself and the reputa-
tion of the champion. He began
to push Gentleman Jim around.
Infuriated at what he "considered
a personal insult, champion Cor-
bett fired his new partner on the
spot.
Now it was the sparring part-
ner's turn to get sore. As he pack-
ed .his few belongings, he carne
over to the champion and said,
"Corbett, some day soon, I'In go.
ing to wear that heavyweight
crown of yours!"
It seemed a ridiculous boast,
for how could that clumsy oaf
of a giant ever hope to win the
most coveted crown in flstiana?
A year later, Corbett lost his
title to the Australian black-
smith, Bob Fitzsimmons, The
new champion, in his first defense
of the crown, met—you guessed .
it--Corbett's old sparring part-
ner. And, to cap it all, the spar-
ring partner took the title away
from Fitzsimmons. The tie w
champion, the sparring partner
of only a short time before, had
made good his boast. After less
than a dozen fights in the ring, ,
Jim Jeffries, the big lumbering
ox who had been fired as spar-
ring
par•ring partner by Jim Corbett, was
champion of the world!

If the studies of , a young
Canadian chemist bear fruit,
certain weeds which are poi-
sonous to farm animals some-
day may become useful in the
manufacture of drugs for treat-
ing the ills of mankind.
+ • , v
The chemist is Dr. Raymond
Leduc of Montreal who is con-
ducting pure research under a
C -I -L fellowship in the labori-
tories of the National Research
Council, Ottawa, His research
is aimed at finding the Chemical
makeup of "akaloids" in poi-
sonous weeds like the death
camas, Dutchman's breeches,
squirrel corn, lupines, spotted
water hemlock and larkspur. He
will also attempt to determine
the reason for their presence in
plants and what function they
perform.
4 4' i
Alkaloids are bitter organic
tnaterials poisonous or poten-
tially harmful to both man and
animal but, in slnall quantities,
have wide medicinal uses, Com-
monly known alkaloids are stry-
chnine, morphine, cocaine, caf-
feine, nicotine and quinine --all
obtained from different plants.
•* 4' *
Dr. Leduc is interested chiefly
in the fundamental, aspect of
alkaloid chemistry, Anything he
uncovers that may lead to the
commercial application of the
alkaloids he is working with,
will be passed on the NRC's ap-
plied chemistry division.

The airplane is becoming in-
creasingly valuable in North
America as an instrument for the
quick and widespread spraying
*o>i dusting crops .and woodlands
With pesticides and insecticides.
Across the world, in New Zea-
land, it has found another farm
use—the spreading of fertilizer.
Agriculturists report that acres
of rugged, hilly country there
have been converted into ex-
cellent patureland, capable of
supporting many times more
cattle and sheep than. previously,
by fertilizer spread from the air.
* * *
Reminiscent of the early and
mid -thirties in the prairie pro-
vinces, the soils are on the move
in Texas, Clouds of dust roll
across the `country obscuring the
sun, covering the highways and
fences, seeping into homes, leav-
ing in theirwake scenes of des-
pair and 'desolation.
• • e
Farmers, who have prospered
in the past, look with worry
upon their bare, parched' acres,
Merchants carry an over -burden
of credit in their book. Banks
no longer •welcome the rural
loan -seeker.
* • •
While Canadians have been
fortunate this year to escape
widespread damage from wind
erosion they nevertheless have
erosion problems in many dis-
tricts. Priceless top soil is being
washed away by rain and un-
controlled spring floods due to
the lack of sound soil conserva-
tion practices,
H • *
At one time no one thought of
soil as a natural resource Soil,
it was generally considered, was
an inexhaustible birthright and
was used as such, In recent
years, however, Canadian soil
scientists have come to realize
that our soils could be depleted
like other resources.
* *
This fall tt formal ceprse jn
soil conservation will be esta-
blished for the first time at the
Ontario Agricultural College at
G u e l p h. The Conservation
Council of Ontario has been set
up, one of its prime functions
being the promotion of soil con-
servation. Canadian chapters of
the Soil Conservation Society of
America are being formed, Pro-
vincial and Federal departments
of agriculture have launched
long range research programs
dealing with soil conservation.
•
* 4
But the problem of soil ero-
sion cannot be licked solely by
agricultural scientists, conserva-
tion groups or governments. The
man who holds they key to the
success of any soil conservation
program is the farmer because
he owns the soil these various
bodies are trying to conserve.
His co-operation therefore is es-
sential.
a v
Because moisture and tempera-
ture conditions are usually ideal
for germination and growth, the
last two weeks of August and
the first two weeks in Septem-
ber is the best time throughout
most of Canada to plant a lawn.
4.
According to James E. Boyce
of the turf research division of
the Central Experimental' Faris
in Ottalva, fall -seeded lawns get
an early start and are able to
compete effectively with the
warm -weather weeds which ger-
minate in late spring and early
summer.
Mr. Boyce describes the ideal
fawn soil as a rich, deep, med-
ium 'loam. Clay soils can be
improved by use of soil condi-
tioners. The proper application
of complete fertilizer prior to
seeding is much more important
than the rate of seeding or 'the
ratio of components of the seed
mixture.
o .,
He advises prospective home
builders to strip the top soil
from the lot, stockpile u in one
corner before construction and
re -spread It after proper grades
have been established, This will
save up to $350 in top sail re=
placement costs on an average -
sized lot.

IIDAY SCIIOOL
LESSON
By Rev. R. Barclay Warren,
¶t'he Christian's Prayer Life.
1 Timothy 2:1-8; Romans 8:26-21i.
Memory Selection: 1 exhort,
therefore, that, first of all, sup-
plications, prayers, interces-
sions, and giving of thanks, be
made for all men; for kings,
and for all that are in author-
Ity; that we tnay lead a quiet
and peaceable life in all god-
liness and honesty. 1 Timothy
2:1-2.
I am writing this before the
election but you are reading it
after the election. Let us give
good heed to the memory selec-
tion. Men who stand for publics
office receive a lot of unwarrant-
ed abuse. If we really prayed for
those in authority there would
be a greater atmosphere of kind-
ness and our leaders would do a
better job.
Our prayers are to be offered
in the name of Jesus Christ, the
only mediator between God and
man. We need the Holy Spirit
in our hearts that we may ask
according to the Will of God.
When we have prayed in the
Spirit "We know that all things
work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are
the called according to his pur-
pose." This is not a resignation
to fate but an affirmation of
faith. It is a triumph in the face
of mystery. It is rest in the pre-
sence of what may appear to
be defeat. I spoke on that text
one morning. The next morning
I was greeted with the news of
the death of a former student.
His car had been found in the
possession of others. He had been
shot. In another year the expect-
ed to graduate from medical
school and proceed to India as
a missionary, He loved God.
Therefore the promise applies
even in such a sad situation as .
that. A young doctor read of it.
He was challenged, He and his
family are now ministering in
India. Some day we shall under-
stand it better.
"God moves in a mysterious way,
HIS wonders 'to perform;
Ile plants his footsteps in the
sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Blind unbelief. is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain:
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain."
PROUD -- BUT DON'T HOLLER
ABOUT IT!
For all our long history in North America, we still look
with pride upon our membership in the British family of
nations, and we dont like it when the fact of that connection
is mipunderstood or misinterpreted in the United States. We
are a sovereign nation with a Queen of our own who happens
to live most of her time in London, While we are Her
Majesty's loyal subjects in Canada, we ourselves pay for the
cost of government in Canada. It is our own government
which governs in the name of the Queen of Canada. That
may sound like a quaint arrangement, but it suits us.
The fact that we are a constitutional monarchy, and still
have deep roots in both Britain and France, makes us a very
good bridge between the United States and Europe. Our
foreign policy is not selfseeking, not only because we are
small in numbers, but also because we have no aspiration
other than to develop,our own country in our own way .. ,
We won our independence, not by fighting our mother
country for it, but by standing at her side in two world wars.
Nevertheless, our independence is as dear to us as yours is
'to you, though we may not set off so many fireworks to
prove it. •
—From an address by
H. G, Hilton, President,
The Steel Company of Canada
at New York.
Bear-ly Speaking — There's trouble "bruin" in one of the bear
families inhabiting a northern woodland. A brotherly quarrel
has.these two little cubs up a tree.

"Dear Anne Hirst: My wife
and I both read your column,
and perhaps you can help solve
my problem, I work eight hours
a day, and try to keep my wife
and our two children happy,
I'll admit I have a soft job. I
get up at 5:30 A.M. and fix my
breakfast and lunch, without
disturbing my wife.
"In the evenings I work in
our little vegetable garden or
flower beds, keeping the yard
looking neat. On days off I help
my wife with the housework,
such as mopping, dusting, wax-
ing and polishing floors, and
washing clothes; and if she's
busy ironing or something, I do
the cooking.
"—Yet if I have other things
to do and don't help her with
the dishes, she gets angry and
won't •speak to me for a couple
of days, and tells people I'm
lazy.

• Your letter . reads like the
* original henpecked husband's,
* Isn't it about time you put
your foot down? — Not so
dramatically as you describe,
but let your wife understand
that, your help about the
house\will not be so available
unless she appreciates it,
Nothing keeps a helpful hus-
band so helpful as a steady diet
of if-you-please's and thank-
you's, distributed with an un-
expected kiss or caress, Same
goes for wives, too—though I
admit your spouse seems not
to invite them. Why not
* initiate the idea? It might
* prove nv.ltually habit-forming.
* Seriously, your wife shows
• a deplorable lack of gratitude
* for the help you offer—at least
* I hope you offer it of your
* own will. Any woman with a
* house and two children on her
* hands finds little idle time, it
* is too bad more husbands do
* not realize it ... When a man
* performs the jobs you mention,
* he deserves at least acknow-
* ledgment; when that is not
* forthcoming, he has little in-
* centive to repeat them,
* Homemaking should never
* be all one-sided; a fair division
* is expected, and not too often
* given. It can prove a game of
* chores which need not be
* made drudgery. A heart -to-
* heart (and firm) talk with
* your wife should improve her
* appreciation and lessen her
* complaints, and give her food
* for thought.

TO "INDISCREE'1
* In spite of the laxity of
modern times, the majority of
people (particularly those who
set a community's social stan-
dards) refuse to approve any
young girl who breaks the ac-
cepted rules of behavior. This
you did. Now you must pay
the cost.
Fortunately, memories are
short. Other gossip will arouse
the interest of the friends you
used to have, and they will
look more kindly on the girl
they admired.
Wait, with patience, for that
day; if you pursue your pres-
ent course, it will come.

How smoothly do small words
of appreciation oil the house-
keeping wheels! Mutual rules of
courtesy make for pleasant liv-
ing. If your family are growing
careless, ask Anne Hirst what to
do, Write her at Box 1, 123

Well, right now I ant v won-
dering if coming events really
cast their shadows before. Re-
members last week I was re-
ferring to the case with which
accidents can happen on a farm?
It must have been a premoni-
tion, or something of that sort
that prompted my remarks, as
last Thursday, just as the last_
load of baled hay was leaving
the field Partner lost his balance,
turned a somersault over the
bales behind him and landed on
his right shoulder on the hard,
bare ground, Result — a com-
pound fracture of the collar -bone.
That is certainly bad enough but
it might have been worse — it
could have been his back or his
neck that was broken, As it is
he is practically helpless. The
strapping across both shoulders
makes the right arm completely
useless,'and the left arm nearly
as bad, Under those conditions
we were faced with nine cows
to milk — and I am about as
useless with cows as an office
clerk, mainly through nervous-
ness, so the two of us had a
great time getting the milkers
on the cows, Partner would ex-
plain exactly what I should do
and do it quickly, But I was too
slow. I would get one or two in-
flations on the cow and then
fumble around, thus letting the
air out of the tubes and the
whole thing would drop off
again. We tried it again next
morning and then realized that
to keep it up was more than we
could manage, and 'that strug-
gling along by ourselves might
even result in a more serious in-
jury to one or the other of us, If
we had ntteded help only for a
day or two we knew one of our
neightbours would have come to
the rescue, but this business will
be a matter of weeks, not days.
So we put in an SOS to Bob to
come home until we could get
ourselves organized, We certain-
ly cannot expect Bob to do the
chores indefinitely as he is al-
ready working twelve hours a
day, one way and another —
besides that he has other plans
ahead of him for the coming
month. However we have been
very fortunate in getting prom-
ised kelp after the holiday week-
end from a young fellow whom
we both know and like very
much indeed,
This seems , to be a season for
casualties around here. First
Betty with her shoulder in a
cast; then Mitchle-White having
her leg almost severed by the'
power mower; and now Partner
with a fractured collar -bone. I
think 1 shall have to get a food -
cutting machine for the injured
"folk who cannot cut up the food
on their own. plates, Betty was
here again this week -end, just
about as good as new, When she
was here before Partner teased
her quite a bit about the things
she couldn't do and how nicely
she was getting out of washing.
dishes and other little chores.
Now it is Betty's turn to tease
her uncle — and she isn't miss-
ing the opportunity.
This is August 3 and lovely
weather for the bank holiday.
We used to call it "August Bank -
Holiday" over in England and in
Sudbury where we lived it was
always a big day — a day we
looked forward' to for weeks.
For as long as I can remember
we always had a regatta on that
day, on the River Stour, There
were all kinds of sculling races
— singles, doubles and fours.
Also ladies' boat races and a
game of water polo. There were
also competitive sculling races
and it was a great day if our
boys won a championship
against the Ipswich team. It was
all good, clean sport but I sup-
pose the most hilarious fun was
right at the end of the afternoon
when the greasy pole was set
up, Actually there were two
poles, one in a horizontal posi-
tion across the river, and the
other at right angles immediate-
ly above it. At the extreme end
of the 'angle pole 'hung a square
tin box with a trap doer that
could be opened by the hanging
cord that hung from it, and
which would. release the ducks
that were enclosed inside the
box, The trick was to reach that
cord, Men and boys, in swim-
ming trunks and, with bare feet,
tried to walk the greasy pole,
trying to keep their balance so
they might reach the cord. Over
and over again they' made the
attempt, sometimes getting only
a little way, other times ahnost
reaching their goal, but invari-
ably the end was the same — a
vain attempt to regain their bal-
ance on the slippery pole and
then over they would go into the
water — backwards, head -first,
any way at all — it all added to
the fun. Eventually the grease
would , wear off a bit, someone
would be successful in pulling
the string and the' ducks would
drop into the water. Then there,
was a mad scramble to dive in
after the ducks as every duck
was a' prize for the one who
caught it. When I think of it
now the only thing that worries
me is wondering -whether it was
hard on the ducks,
-Left-handed People
Have More Twins
Left-handed people and people
who stutter are more likely to,
be the parents of twins than
right-handed people and people
who do not stutter.
This has been discovered by
Dr. Glen Holland, of the Los
Angeles branch of the University
of California, For years he has
been studying the biology of
twins. He has found that racial
stock and the age of mothers are
factors in the production of
twins.
Older mothers are much more
likely to have twins, Negroes and
people of the Scandinavian coun-
tries, he points out, invariably
have a larger number of twins
than do Japanese and Mediter-
ranean peoples.
Dr, Holland is now engaged
on research concerning identical
twins, the origin of which has
intrigued scientists all over the
world. He is investigating, too,
the question of why twins vary.
For instance, often one is right-
handed and the other left-hand-
ed. And he may find out why
twins almost invariably run in
families.
Other scientists have revealed
that in Germany, . France and
Italy twins are most common in
areas where the majority of
people have blue or grey eyes.
But . the • scientists cannot say
why. Perhaps Dr, Holland will
solve this mystery during his
present researches.
Note: Statistics published just
before the war showed that more
twins are born in Ireland than
anywhere else in the world.
What Parisian Designers Have To Say
About Fall Fashions For Women
d
for winter, brocades and certain
prints inspired by .similar de-
signs. These are marbled or
mottled and an important group
features effects of marquetry of
inlaid -woodwork, ns well as
wood -graining.
No more shaggy or rough -sur-
faced wool materials are fa-
vored. The trend Is toward
broadcloths, velourcloths and
the' sleekest zibeline weaves.
Ultra stiff silks in the form of
brocades and facones, many of
them hinting at the influence of
furnishing fabrics, appear for
evening. Satins and velvets are
also much in evidence, while the
novelty fabrics of the season are
mixtures of sik and wool: fab-
rics which ally the elegant ap-
pearance of silks to the comfort-
ing warmth of wool,
Dark grays still lead in the
majority of houses, Black is the
basic color everywhere, followed
by a number of soft browns,
There is tobacco, cinnamon,
snuff and the new "cognac -
brown," which contrasts well
with black.
Other important colors are
blues ranging from rich sap-
phire, indigo, and brighter king-
fisher tones, to the softer petrol
and slate -blues, with a little true
forget -Inc -not or sky blue.
Black and white, used sepa-
rately or together, are popular
for the evening. Then foliovt
pastel pinks and blues, as well
as pale tortoise -shill browns.
Two leading designer, Chris-
tian Dior and Jacque: Path,
holding their autumn ano win-
ter fashion openings at the very
start of the Paris "collections
week," have enabled buyers to
form a quick idea of the silhou-
ette -to -come. This is generally
accepted as a line bringing all
interest to the upper figure,
above a well -molded waist and
slender columnlike ,skirt.
Born of the "tulip" silhouette
launched by Christian Diet last
season, this idea of broadened,
sloping shoulders; curving. cres-
centlike sleeves; and curving
lines of drapery, often t: nding
an Empire effect to dresses with
high corseleted waists, has been
g9nerally adopted,
Christian Dior' himselt is still
ahead with a new "Domes of
Paris silhouette" 'which aroused
enthusiastic applause at his
showing, His skirts are distinct-
ly short, just covering the knees
and the "dome" or cupola skirt -
line is full, padded into curves
over the hips as the width
springs from a tightly nipped
waist. Spherical lines character-
ize the bodices also, offering the
effect of a small sphere atop the
larger dome-shaped silhouette of
the skirt.
-The slender skirt line is the
alternative offered by this mas-
terly designer who does not ex-
pect all women to adoped "cu-
pola" styles immedinately. In
these frocks the general trend
toward shoulder and bustline
interest follows the silhouette all
Paris has accepted.
All Descriptions
Medicine de Rauch describes
the new silhouette aq the "Street
Lamp" line, thus aptly describ-
ing the interest of bulky bodices
atop stemlike skirts. Pierre Bal -
main prefers to describe his line
as that of a long-stemmed fluted
glass. And here again the long,
slim "stein" of the skirt is topped
by a bodice widening out to-
wards the shoulders. For eve-
ning wear the fluted effect ap-
pears in reverse, a tightly mold-
ed bodice and skirt slenderly
fitted over the hips to flare out
in fluted lines at the hem.
A slim "stem" or "flower -
stalk" silhouette is favored by
Paquin with brief boxy bo-
leros bringing the necessary
width to the upper figure.
In the Jean Patou collection
curved colars, draped ?boulder
scarves, and rather fuller sleeves
provide width above the waist-
line. 'Comparatively few waist-
lines are belted this season, al-
though those of Jacques Fath
are the exception, as he has been
with broad belts • of leather for
day and satin, or corded silk,
for evening. Eleswhere there
are many skirts built up in high

Like To Take A Trip
To Timbuktu?
• Modern transportation is
shortening the time - distance
from here to Timbuktu, fur gen-
erations the epitome of faraway
places,
Thereis now a commercial
flight across French West Africa
every week from Bamako to
Gao, stopping at Goundkm, 70
miles from Timbuktu. From
Goundam, according to the Na-
tional Geographic, it is only two
days by camel to the sun -baked
village on the Sahara's southern
edge — an overnight hop by
motor.
But while it may have have
lost its mythical .title as the
"farthest corner of the earth,"
Timbuktu's new accessibility has
brought little change into its old
way of life. It is still 800 miles
from the nearest coast, though a
vital trade crossroads point for
the vast West African hump—a
meeting place of Sahara camels
and canoes plying the Niger
River,
Timbuktu still has no paved
streets, autos, electricity, sewage
or water system, movies, restau-
rants, or hotels. The tempera-
ture hovers between 100 and 110
degress in the shade some eight
months of the year. Brief but
torrential rains bring some re-
lief in late summer—but dis-
pleasure as well, for two -storied
mud -brick houses are likely to
melt away. Timbuktu was a
center of Moslem culture during
the 15th and 16th centuries.
How Can You Miss? -Bill Wiehr demonstrates a highly versatile
gun which is sure to' bag game in one v'ay or another. The
muzzle -loader can shoot around a tree to get an elusive bird,
and if one barrel misses, the other barrel is ready to fire. It has
a built-in watch, thermometer, weather vane, mirror, spectacles
for better sighting, and a knife for skinning the catch. A com-
pass keeps the hunter on the trail, and if he's still unsuccessful
in bagging any game, there's a 'can opener so he won't starve.
Moslem writers left accounts of
its great wealth in gold and os-
trich plumes, of the giant camel
caravans, some 10,000 strong, that
gathered to trade in gold, ivory,
and. slaves. In 1028, a F'enclh-
man was the first westerner to
reach the city and win the Paris
Geographic Scciety prize of 10-
000 francs for penetrating . its
mysteries.
Ask any American fight fan to
name the greatest scrapper ever
sent from British shores to battle
there and he will invariably
plump from that all -action, two-
fisted puncher, Ted "Kid" Lewis,
idol of London's East End, A
relentless fighting machine, Lewis
clouted over seventy opponents
into oblivion in the course of 250
recorded contests.
British champion in three divi-
sions, it was in the States that he
notched some of his greatest vic-
tories, mainly against American
Jack Britton. These two boxers
monopolized the world welter,
weight title for seven years,
meeting altogether twenty times,
with each round a bitter, slashing
brawl that served only to inter).
sify their fierce antagonism,
• • •
Even their managers engaged
•
Refreshing Pause—Dr. Karl Her-
rikoffer takes time off to relax
and have a swig of Bavarian
cheer upon his return to Munich;
Germany. He is the leader of
the German Himalaya expedi-
tion which conquered Nanga
Parbat (Naked Goddess) Moun-
tain;,
in heated slanging matches dun
ing fights. And of all their epic
clashes, it was 'the scrap at Can-
ton, Ohio, on March 17th, 1919,
that reads most like a sensation-
al ring novel, Queer things have
happened in U.S, fight arenas—
but nothing like that in the en-
tire history of the sport.
Lewis was chafnpion at the
time, and so confident of victory
that he took the ring only half
fit. He was suffering from fever.
But when his`manager suggested
a postponement, the Kid waved
him aside.
"I'm not . going to let down
either the promoters or the fans!"
he declared.
His face a sickly hue, he slam-
med into the fray with his usual
tempestuous attack, knowing his
hopes depended on an early win,
The pace was hot, and as the
slugging contest developed, so
did the bitter "needle" element,
While their - managers fought
their usual word -battle from the
corners, the fighters exchanged
snarling remarks as they swap-
ped furious blows,
Anti all the time the game Kid
was growing weaker, He had to
be lifted on his stool for the sixth
round , . , and a vicious left hook
sent him crashing to the canvas.
As he staggered to his feet the
crowd screamed for the "kill,"
and once again he was Rooted.
Then came drama. Britton
considered the referee's counting
was too slow—and said so. At
"six" Lewis was up, to be once
more smashed to the canvas.
Again Britton criticized the speed
of the count, but the referee ig-
nored him and the round ended
with the Kid holding on for dear
life in a mauling clinch.
For two further rounds he.
steered clear of serious trouble.
Then- the end came, inevitably.
A, right to the heart followed by
two smashing lefts to the chin
crumpled him in a heap. And
once again his aggressive rival
showed dissatisfaction witlr the
referee's counting,
•
Lewis stirred, Would he beat
tihe cotfnt? Britton was tatting no
chances, Stepping swiftly for-
ward over his prostrate oppo-

old Guy Delville of Roubaix, France: He inherited his mastery

billiards champion.
nent, .he rattled off the last five
seconds . , . "six -seven -eight -nine -
out!" .. , then turned in triumph,
clasping his gloves above his
head,
While the crowd stared stupe-
fied, the referee hesitated, -Then
pointing his finger at his fellow
countryman. For the first and
only time in boxing history a
fighter had been counted out by
his rival—and had lost a world:
title fight into the bargain!
"But was the referee right in
allowing Britton to speed up the
counting?" asks Gilbert E. Odd,
in "Debatable Decisions" a vivid
fully illustrated collection of fight
stories with controversial end-
' ings,
Perhaps, comments the author,
the fact that he acted upon the
.boxer's counting in giving his
decision implies that he must
have doubted his own. ,
Another sensational ring mo-
ment that Gilbert Odd recalls so
dramatically is admitted by the
great Jack Dempsey as being the
most vital of his colourful car-
eer, It concerns his winning of
the heavyweight crown from the
giant cowboy, Jess Willard, a
tremendous hitter, who had top-
pled the formidable Jack John-
son from his throne.
Big Jess was a 5-4 favourite
before the fight, staged in swel-
tering heat at Toledo, Ohio, on
Independence Day, 1919. But so
confident were the youthful
Dempsey and his astute manager,
Jack . Kearns, that they staked
every cent they couldlay their
hands on -10,000 dollars at 10-1
—that the challenger would win
by a knock -out in the first round.
• • •
There was drama from the
start. Seeing how blood-stained
the canvas was after prelimin-
ary bouts, a disgusted Willard
demanded a fresh one. It was
provided. But its lacings so muf-
fled the bell that—rather than
waste time fitting it again—the
timekeeper was provided with a
police whistle instead, He used
it throughout the contest . . , and
it very nearly brought the down-
fall of Dempsey,
Wearing his habitual scowl and
looking all wire and springs, the
Manassa Mauler leapt at his op-
ponent like a wildcat and soon
had him groggy at the knees. A
jaw - cracking right smashed
home; and Big Jess slumped
down as if shot.
He scrambled* to his feet but,
hurling leather from all angles,
Dempsey felled him six more
times in the first round. And on
the last occasion, while the crowd
'roared its frenzy, the referee
counted . the sprawling Goliath
out and indicated that the chal-
lenger had won.
He had. scarcely ducked under
the ropes, however, had not gone
twelve yards towards" his dress-
ing -room, • when Dempsey was
' hastily recalled to the ring . .
to learn that in the pandemonium
the referee had failed to hear
the timekeeper's whistle, ending
the round before the count of
"ten"l
He had not' only lost 10,000
dollars. He had still to win the
title!
The second and third rounds
were wonderful exhibitions—of
what punishment the human
body can stand, A shambling
hulk, his features pulped, Big
Jess was smashed,round the ring
.until, even the frenzied crowd
were crying for a halt. Merci-
fully, his seconds threw ,in the
towel before the carnage 'could
continue in the fourth. For the
second time Dempsey was de-
clared the new world champion
. , , but Was the referee right?
Technically, he should have
disqualified Dempsey for leaving
the ring before the contest was
over—a definite breach of the
rules. And yet, having declared
him the winner, he was also
wrong in allowing the fight to•
continue,

What Is Drouth?
Drouth means that when you
drive across a meadow, the grass
crackles like dry paper under
your wheels; and that next day
it is dead where the tires of car
or tractor have passed. It means
that the corn, planted on your
'ricnest ground and with,all the
,care and expense for manure
and fertilizer to insure the high-
est yield, gets up to tasseling
stage. Then the dark green
leaves start to twist as each
day's relentless sun beats down
and the forming ears are dwarf-
ed to nubbins with little feeding
;value, It means that expensive
-seedings of a new pasture which
;you are counting on for next
year, after the drouth may have
passed, shrivel and die in the
:dusty fields. Drouth means that
the springs dry up Ind the
creeks gradually disappear and
the ponds grow thick with green
scum as the last water oaks in-
to the thirsty soil, so that you
start hauling water or driving
the animals to some distant
source to drink. It means' that
the Nibs start to show on once -
fat cows and that their milk
dries up so that the calves, on
which you count for your year's
' income, look scrubby and un-
thrifty, Sometimes it means
that they must be sold out of
the drouth country or shipped
off to the market at perhaps a
third of what it cost to produce
them, And drouth means far-
mers lying awake long into the
night after a 10 or 12 -hour day
in the fields, with their minds
working like a terrier at the
'problem of how to keep going
until a better season.—H, Leo-
nard Hall in The St. Louis
Post -Dispatch.
