Freeman pitched the first five innings in the opener of the series between Teeswater and Lucknow. IIe \vas op, posed on the mound by Grant Chi;• holm, also well known here, Luck. now won the game l5 to 4 apparently on the strong pitching of Chisholm who went the distance, giving up 4 hits and G walks and striking out 12 Teeswater batters. There is a probability of Blyth Le;;- ionairres nlceting the winners of these two teams, providing tine Legionairres can knock oft their next opposition, which is Palmerston. Freeman did his bit for many year, on the Blyth diamond. It would be something to sec him back here, pitch- ing against the guys he helped along the win trail for so many years. We would like to see a Teeswater - Blyth series, but the Teeswater boys will have to pull up their socks and do bet- ter next time they sheet Lucknow if they hope to come out the winners. LONDESIIORO ANi) BELGRAVE IN . MiDST OF GIROU1' FINALS Londesboro 13,-A,'s are two games up on their opposition from Belgrave in their quest for group honors as a re- sult of two close games, the first of which was played before a gond crowd on the Blyth diamond last Saturday night asci which had the fans on the edge of their seats throughout the entire nine innings. Londesboro got away to a good start in the opening inning with four runs, but the Belgrave team proved them- selves worthy eppo ents by fighting right Vick and going into a lead. The score sec -sawed right until the last when the B,-A.'s were able to bring home the winning run to win by the narrow margin of 14 to 13. Bill Cowan started on the mound for Londesboro and was retell/0d by Walter Tarns, with Cliff Saundercock receiving, Wellwood and Fisher did the pitching c);ores for Belgrave. Monday night, Londesboro again cants out on 'the long end of a 10.9 score in the second game of the seven - game series, which was played on t'it Wingham diamond. The third game of the series is being played under' the lights on the Blyth diamond to -night (Wednesday). LiBRARY BOOK EXCHANGE All books cm loan from the liurols County Library . Association through the Blyth Public Library, are to be in the hands of the librarian, Miss Ella Metcalf, by this Thursday, August 25, so as to be ready for the next book exchange. Blyth Legionairres have been inform- ed that they will meet the winners of the Palmerston Grecnbush series in the first round of the WOAA softball playdowtils. The scn'ies between Pal- merston and Grecnbush was still in progress at Lie first of the week, and no dates have been set for the Blyth series, but according to information received it was quite likely that Pal- merston would he the opposing tears for the Legionairres. In all probability the series will be a best four -out -of -seven games, provid- ing the tine is available for such a series. Exhibition With R'ingham Ends On Sour Note During the waiting period a home - and -home exhibition series was ar- ranged for \vitt the Wingham juven- iles who were a regular entry in the group during the playing schedule. Wingham juveniles came down for the first game Tuesday night, , with a record of season's play without a de- feat. The Legionairres suffered the -r only two defeats of the current season at the hands of the •Wingham lads ear- ly in the playing schedule and the lads from Wingham kept their record al- most • intact on Tuesday evening by coning from behind a two -run deficit in the top of the ninth inning to ekc out a 7-7 tie. 1n the bottom of tit ninth inning lad Watson of the Leg, ieertirres broke for home from thirc bese with' what could have been Ds( winning run but was tagged at thr plate by Catcher Hodgkinson, and th( first thing the fans knew players fron both teams were in a fracus as a resul of the close play.

As- surance of a good supply of fall pas- ture will help to overcome this scar- city to some extent. _It is doubtful if dried out, overgrazed pastures will pro- duce too well now, even with rain, and heavy grazing of alfalfa during the fall months will seriously reduce the vol- ume of hay or pasture next year, A mixture of oats and fall rye, one bushel of oats, one and a half bushels of rye per acre, seeded now will make good fall pasture and reduce the load in permanent pastures and meadows. It will take front three to four weeks niter seeding before iris ready to.pas- ture. The oats grow faster than the rye, so pasturing can start sooner than if only rye were sown, If the field is early and well drained, the rye will pro- vide early spring pasture before other pasture crops are ready, This is also a decided advantage when the hay snow is 1dw, ' The catch of new seeding will prob- ably depend on favourable weather for the rest of the fall, - At - present, 11 doesn't look too good. Faced with the prospect of -failure of this spring's seeds some farmers are considering full seeding to be sure of a hay crop next summer. The success of fall seedi will likely depend on favourable w( thor for growth in the fall, and not t severe a winter. Seeding can be \Vi out n nurse crop or with a very lit seeding of oats, which will give so; protection and then die over winter. attempting a fall seeding for the fi time, remember these points: 1.

She has a lov- able nature, a fine education and no faults that I can see. Her personality and her sense of hu- mor make me feel so' at ease — perhaps because I am very much in love, But she will not discuss love nor marriage! "She was married once, 20 years ago, and I understand it was a tragic disappointment and ended in divorce. Financially, she is well off, so am I, and we enjoy so many things together that I feel sure I can make her happy Just now she is away; her letters are newsy and witty, but never does she even say she misses me. When we are to- gether she is always kind and sweet, but this is the only indi- cation that she is fond of me. "Could the difference in ages be the one barrier between us, and perhaps she is reluctant to say so? (I am in perfect health). After seeing her regularly for a year, haven't I the right to know how she feels about me? Please don't see me as an old man with silly ideas, but I feel I must know where I stand.

If I date anybody else he gets furious. "Would it be all right for me to go out with other boys, any- how? I ha v e had several chances.

"Take the match I had with that Scotch fellow McGregor at the civic center course this morning. We're all square at the seventeenth hole, playing a two -dollar nassau, when McGregor loses his ball in a thick rough. Naturally I go over and help him look for it, on account I don't want any mon- key business from McGregor. He can't find his ball,.however, and I start walking toward the green. Suddenly he yells after me, 'It's okay, Joe, here was that little ball of mine all the time.' I look back and there I see a ball right on the fairway, all beautifully teed up for a shot to the green, with McGregor happily pulling an approaching iron from his bag. And here, my dear, I am faced with a very serious prob- lem. Just how am I going to break the news to McGregor that all the time -I've got his 'lost ball' in my pocket?" We would all be idle if we could. —SAMUEL JOHNSON PRETTY CLASSY "MOTIVE" POWER — The locomotives, of course. Grand old girl at left is the historic, 80 -year-old Virginia and Truckee's J. W.

Which is the correct form of introduction, "Mrs. White, this is my husband," or "Mrs. White, this is Mr. Walker" - A. The correct form is, "Mrs. White, this is my husband." Q. When should the bride- groom give his gifts to his best man and ushers? , A. Usually, these gifts are put at the men's places at the bach- elor dinner. Q. If a pian Is accompanying a girl who is driving her own car, should he make an offer to do the driving? A. It would be better not. Some women are sensitive about their driving and might think such an offer reflects on their ability to drive. Of course, if the womansuggests that he drive, then it is all right. Q. Some of 'my girl friends, who have become engaged re- cently, have given their fiances engagements presents. Is this a new custom—and proper? A. This is neither a new cus- tom nor necessary. There is no- thing improper about it, how- ever, if the girl wishes to do so. Q. If a man offers his hand first to a woman, upon being in- troduced, what should she do? A. She should accept it, of course, and without hesitation. Q. When a bride has received a gift from " the office force, consistingof perhaps a dozen employees, how should she ac- knowledge it? A.

Q. Is It necessary for a hostess to rise when greeting a guest who has just arrived, and other guests are already present? A. Yes, always. A hostess is very discourteous who does not rise to greet every guest. • Q. Is it all right to use the telephone to acknowledge re- ceipt of -a gift? , A. A sincere, personally writ- ten note of thanks is in much better form, CRAZY, MIXED-UP BIRD - "Hey, you In the fur coat.

'The Wicked Bible' A man who spent the last ten years of his life in prison left a trust fund which saves every resident in the Buckinghamshire town of Datchet a twopenny rate every , year. He was Robert Barker, printer to Queen Elizabeth I, and he was responsible for printing the first edition 'of the Authorized Version of the' Bible in 11311. Barker held a monopoly of printing Bibles and Prayer Books. Twenty years after bring- ing out the first Authorized Ver- sion, another edition, with his name as printer, became known as "The Wicked Bible," the most startling of many mistakes in which was the omission of one word in the seventh command- ,ment to make it read: "Thou shalt committ adultery," For this Barker was fined £200 by the -Star Chamber, but failed to pay up, so he went to jail, where he remained until he died ten years later: But his trust has prospered. Its income has risen from a few pounds to £450 a year, nowadays' mainly used for street lighting and 'church repairs.

For a whole week our thermo- meter registered a high of from 90 to 98. I would gladly have changed a little of our Cana- dian heat for England's fresh, cool breezes, Iiowever, today the weather has been just per- fect . , , may it so continue. Now, maybe I shall .be able to get caught up on the extra work that has accumulated during my absence, and which I have been promising myself I would do "just as soon as it gets a little cooler." It seems so strange not to have the cows around any more. 1 am not used to it even yet. Of course there is a lot less work for Partner, and much less worry for me. By now the heat and dry dry weather would have meant a falling off in milk production, and probably a shortage of water, As it is there is enough of everything for the young cattle — not to mention our one dry cowl Partner had every in- tention of selling that same cow later on but now he thinks per- haps he will keep her as she is due to freshen in September, which means we should have milk for the house once again. Not having the cows to worry about is `one thing, but having to buy milk is something else again. I never realized until now how little. milk there is in a quart bottle, If Partner and I have one good drink there is hardly enough left for the cats, Now how does this farm milk versus dairy milk realy work out, I wonder? Just for fun, let's figure it out. Supposing we sell the cow, maybe for $180. That $180 would buy us a quart of milk every day for twenty-seven months, at 22 cents a quart, At the end of that time there would still be no prospect other than to buy more milk. But' if we keep this cow and she produces a calf and • there- after gives a normal supply of milk, then we could have two quarts of milk a day for the house for at least nine months, which at the present retail level would be worth $118.80. In ad- dition to keeping the house sup- plied the ' cow should give enough milk to raise three veal calves, two of which we would naturally have to buy. When sold the calves should realise ap- proximately $50 a piece. At the end of her lactation period we could, if we wanted to, sell this same cow on the stock market and probably still get $120 for her. So our cow would bring us in a total of $388.80 less her feed, which for one cow wouldn't amount to very much, possibly • $100 or $150. But since we wouldn't be paying it out in hard cash we would hardly be likely to miss it, Of course these figures may not agree with the way farm economists might work things out - it is merely the way thisfarmer's wife looks on the situation - after buying milk by the quart. While we are on the sub- ject of home production and con- sumption, how about, a vege- table garden? Is it better to buy what you need or grow your own — and this applies to others besides farmers. The way we figure it out it depends upon the size of the famiy. It would certainly make a big hole in the food budget to keep a large family supplied with fresh vege- tables or to buy the amount of pickles and canned or frozen vegetables that a garden would supply, But for two , , , Partner says it is hardly worthwhile. Maybe he is :right but on the other hand it is very nice to get your vegetables straight , from the garden , , .' beans that are crisp and green; peas tender and sweet and beets that are pulled before they have a chance to get "woody". And of course one's family doesn't always stay at two — there are bound to be visitors every so often, So I always say, never mind whether it pays or not, at least let us have small garden, So we us- ually end up by putting in a few .vegetables — but here I have to admit it is generally Partner who does the hoeing! Now when it comes to fruit we don't do any worrying — we just take what nature pro- vides on our farm and let it go at that. We have early Rich- mond cherries that provide plenty of competition between us and the starlings and robins. Our apple trees are old and wormy, the early apples are plentiful but not very big. So I pick up the windfalls, split them in half- cut off the bruised part and then cook them, skins cores and all. When done they go through a rotary colander, sugar is added to the pulp — and there's our apple sauce. Plenty of it too as it is a messy job so I always do a good batch while I'm at it. Next week—the • answers to a few questions about my trip to the Old Land, from notes taken along the way. COMFORTING A boatman ran a ferry across a mountain stream full of whirl- pools and rapids. During a cross- ing in which the frail craft was tossed hither and yon by the swirling water a timid lady in the boat asked whether any pas- sengers ever were lost in the river. "Never," the . boatman reas- sured her. "We always find them again the next day."

French novelist Jules Verne had a habit of getting in well ahead of scientists. His fertile Imagination was considered far- fetched a century or so ago, but history has caught up with him again and again. What Verne thought of as fiction has come to pass and to be accepted as part of everyday life. His "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" inventions, for instance, He created the submarine "Nau- tllus"--and to -day we take sub- marines as a matter of cour'he. He put men under water in self- contained diving -suits which en- abled them to walk about with- out any air -pipes from the sur- face—and nowadays young men by the hundred don frogmen's outfits for the sheer fun of it, Walt Disney's film of "20,000 League Under the Sea" has brought the Jules Verne fantasy to the screen, now that the fa- mous novelist's description of under -water suits has become present-day reality. True, a suit of the type crea- ted on paper by Verne was ac- tually invented within a few gears of the novel's publication in 1870, and the Disney research experts managed to trace it. It agreed with every detail Outlined by the novelist, includ- ing a diver's helmet, a close - fitting rubber suit, and an aqua- lung. It was hand -made and weighed 225 lb., compared with the modern frogman's outfit of a total 40 lb. First demonstrated in 1879, the suit was a revolutionary, but not entirely successful, step to- wards sea-bed exploration. Verne may have used his ima- gination to make life under water a relatively simple mat- ter, but he was certainly not the first man to think about the subject. Man has sought to conquer the sea-bed for centuries, partly out of sheer curiosity, but also for more practical reasons. The scientific aspect is one. Reclaim- ing sunken treasure is another. Vast riches were lost along the shores of the Mediterranean in very early times, and there were always men who dreamed of recovering them. In fact, the first known refer- ence to deep-sea diving goes back as far as the first century. The Latin writer Pliny described divers who were equipped with air tubes, the free ends of •which were supported on the surface of the sea by inflated bladders. It was not until •the Middle .Ages that really determined at- tempts were made to use div- ing -suits to any great degree, During the siege of Cunstantl- nople, in 1433, the Turks sought means to break the chains that closed the mouth of the Golden Horn, The only way to do this was for men to go beneath the water and remain there long enough to hew through the chains. So divers were equipped with close -fitting leather suits, top- ped by a huge oval headpiece, with a pipe leading from the top. Then, in the early seventeenth century, an Englishman named Repton invented what he called "water armour," A Dutchman named Cornelius van Drebbel experimented with the first sub- marine, using the Thames for his experiments, The "water ar- mour" was a failure, and the inventor nearly drowned him- self, but the submarine met with some measure of- success. Something approaching the modern frogman's outfit was invented by an Italian, G. A. .Borelli, in 1075, Although un- wieldy and uncomfortable to wear, it even had web-footed boots. All sorts of freakish shapes and designs have been intro- duced at various times, all of them extremely hazardous for the heroic fellows trying them out, Though they worked within reason, they were not really successful. -One of these extraordinary diving -suits was invented in 1715 by an Englishman, John Lethbridge, of Newton Abbot. It looked something like a leath- er sack, with one end larger than the other. A glass scuttle en- abled the diver to see, and it was suspended horizontally so that he was lying in something like a large covered -in seaman's hammock with a window at the bottom. He could only look downwards, There were sleeves for the wearer's arms, and it was inflated with enough air for him to breath for a restricted time. Curiously enough, mankind seemed to give up the idea of conquering the ocean bed after this, It was not until the end of the 18th century that any- one else had a try, and this time it was a man named Kleingert, of Breslau, who designed a suit of leather jacket and drawers, over which was placed a • dome- shaped cylinder reaching to the hips. Air was pumped down to him through pipes attached to the cylinder, and the air pres- sure prevented water entering the suit, Descent was made with the aid of lead weights, and the diver merely released these WRESTLING MATCH — Everyone had a job on their hands when a truck turned over releasing 50 pigs on a road.

That's just a quick, handy way to sample the frosting on his 64th (or is it 65th?) birthday cake at Yankee Stadium, New York City. The peppery Yankee mana- ger celebrated his 65th (or is it 64th?) birthday by announcing a Yankee rebuilding plan that could well take two or three year's to realize. (The record book says he's 65 — his wife says he's 64.) weights when he wanted to re- turn to the surface. Though it failed to cause much of a stir, that invention was actually the basis of the present- day diving -suit. It was modified and improved upon twenty years later by a man named Siebe, who later improved on it still further and designed the first successful self-contained diving - suit on which all modern equip- ment is based. . So diving -suits were not new when Jules Verne let his ima- gination take them to greater extremes than man had actually invented at the time. SURE THING Jonathan Daniels probably covered a thousand horse races —Kentucky Derbies and other classics of the track— during his newspaper career, but none of them made the impression on him occasioned by a race be- tween five camels at a Carolina carnival early in the century. Nobody remembers who per- suaded .the owners of the five camels to stage the race, but the first thing anybody knew, news of the contest spread throughout the state, and peo- ple began to bet on the outcome. Perplexed bookies established initial odds of four to one against all five camels, but just before the race so many big bets were planked down on the one named Ben Ali—all of them, apparent- ly, made by the Arab owners— that the bookies grew suspicious, and refused all further bets. Furthermore, they watched the race with eagle eyes for any sign of dirty work. The race, to all intends and purposes, however, was fairly run. All five Arab owners pres- sed their mounts with equal fer- vor and determination, and whel4 Ben Ali won easily, the bookies could find no excuse for with- holding payment to the win- ners. One of them, his exchequer badly depleated, asked the Arab who had finished third, "What made all you birds bet every- . thing on Ben Ali?" , The Arab explained, with a grin, "Mister, Ben Ali is what- is known in our country as a bell camel. • From the day of their birth, camels are taught to follow the bell camel!"

By ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can 1 remove mildew from fabrics? A. In early stages remove by rubbing into the material a paste of powdered chalk and soapsuds and laying it in the sun, Renew as often as it dries. For advanced stages steep the article in a weak solution of chloride of lime for half an hour, and then transfer to a sol- ution of 1- ounce hyposulphite of soda to a gallon of water to check the action of the lime. Then rinse in clear water. Q. How can I keep the sharp edge on knives? A. The sharp carving knives should be kept separated from each other. If kept together they will lose the sharp edge from contact with other blades, Q. How can I keep celery crtp? A. By washing thoroughly and keeping in the refrigerator for a few hours in a pitcher of cold water. Add a ',teaspoonful of salt. Q. How can I clean ordinary window shades? A. Rub with wall paper clean - stretched tightly on floor or table er. HolIand shades should be and tacked down, then scrubbed with hot suds and brush, Rinse with brush and warm water, Wait until almost dry, then iron. Q. How can I remove ink stains from fabrics? A. 13y covering the spot with n paste made of starch and but- termilk. Allow this paste to dry and then wash the goods in warns water. Q. How can I easily pour catsup? A. All that is necessary is to push back the thickened portion that. congeals around the top. It will then pour easily. Q. How can I make a good Ironing board cover? A. When a new cover is need- ed for the ironing board, make a slip of unbleached muslin to fit the board, open at botji ends. It • is far better than using a sheet, or sewing or tacking it to the board. Q. IIow can I prevent a burn- ing sensation on the feet caused by being too dry and harsh -skinned? A. A good remedy is to rub them thoroughly with olive oil, massaging it well into the pores, Q. How can I make it easy to cut ntergingue pie? A. Lemon meringue pie will not be difficult to cut if the pie , knife is wet with cold water .be- fore using. This prevents stick- ing. Q. IIow can I trace ants to their nest? A. Sprinkle cake crumbs or coarse sugar on the floor and watch to see where the ants carry it. In this way they can be destroyed at their source. If red ants nest in floors, carbolic so- lution can sometimes be intro- duced by use of an oil can with a long nozzle. SIZE WAS WILLING A near-sighted publisher, walking along the beach at Pro- vincetawn, Massachusetts, en- countered a comely young lady who greeted him by name, Un- able to recognize her without his glasses, the publisher stammer- ed, "How nice to see you up here, How long are you stay- ing?" "I've got to go home Sun- day," she told him:sadly..a'What a pity," he remarked. "Septem- ber is the best month on the Cape. Why ,don't you stay an- other week?" "I will if you'll ,let me," the girl said coyly, The publisher examined her at close range and, suddenly recognized her, • It was his pri- vate secretary. An Umpire's Word "Gentlemen, I was unable to see the catch. In your judgment was it fair or foul?" is the way the high -hatted umpire used to query the crowd whenever a questionable play arose. He would carefully consider the opinions offered and then an- nounce his decision to the young gentlemen on the field. It was not questioned. The ump did not have to be as hardy in those days when baseball was a rather mild pas- time; but when the character of the game changed, when it got tougher, so did the umps, They had to be as tough as the players in order to survive., It was not until the founding of the American League °that the harassed umpire could be- gin to breathe easier, Ban John- son realized the importance of protecting his officials and abol- ishing intimidation of them by club owners. He standardized their uniforms and added a base umpire to help the lonely man behind the plate, More impor- tant, he saw to it that his offi- cials were backed up by the League and that unnecessary abuse of them would not be tol- erated in the new circuit, . , . Most umpires begin on the sand lots, work up from there through amateur circuits such as )sigh schools and colleges and then serve a sentence in the mi- nors, . , . Meanwhile the fledgling offi- cial is not forgotten, He is watched and reported on by hawkeyed scouts just as ball- players are. The things scouts look for in an umpire are; his konwledge of the rules, keen- ness of eye, ability to be in po- sition to see a play, personality and ability to run a game with- out friction. --From "The Story 'of Baseball," by John Durant, He that laughs at his own jest mars all the mirth of it, —JAMES KELLY Of all the days that's in the week 1 dearly love but ono day— And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday; For then I'm drest all in my best To walk abroad with Sally; She is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley, —HENRY CAREY GESUNDHEIT — AN dressed for the hay fever season, Barbara English waits for the first• sneeze come August 15, clad In a dress fashioned of some 1600 disposable tissues.

VOICE CULTURE A long-time inmate of a Dis- placed Persons camp finally got his visa and sailed off for Ameri- ca, faithfully promising to send for his wife the moment he achieved a respectable bank balance. Unfortunately, he for- got all about her until ' he re- ceived a letter from her some six months later. Unable to read, he persuaded the neighborhood butcher to divulge the letter's contents to him, The butcher, who had a voice like a foghorn on the Queen Elizabeth, opened the letter and read horsely, "Why haven't you sent for me? I need some money right away. Minnie." The immigrant snatched the note from the butcher's hands, stuffed it angrily into his pocket and forgot about it until a month later when he found himself dining with a gentle young rab- bi. Again he asked, "Will you read my wife's letter to me, please?" This time it was the soft,' modulated voice of the rab- bi that echoed, "Why haven't you sent for me? I need some money right away. Minnie." The immigrant nodded with satis- faction. "Anyhow," he remarked, "I'm glad to notice that she's changed her tone."

SALLY'S SALLIES 'It your wife doesn't understand ' you, who does—except mel" Climbed Monument Once A Day Summer visitors to London are once more climbing the 345 black marble steps of the 202 - foot Monument, the finest iso- lated stone column in the world, which was built to commemo- rate the Great Fire- of London, and cost $45,000. For six months the Monu- ment was closed for repairs to the steps which are climbed by at 1 east 100,000 people every year. During that • time the golden flames above the Monu- ment were regilded at a ° cost of $750 with 100,000 gold leaves. Most books on London say Sir Christopher Wrendesigned the Monument but in recent years this has been disputed by some London historians. Mr, William Kent, for instance, says that Robert Hooke the City Surveyor of the period was re- sponsible and that .it cameto be ascribed to Wren in 1706 when the diarist John Evelyn referred to it as his in a book, Says Mr, Kent "Hooke was then dead and Wren was proba- bly piqued at not having his design accepted; Indeed, his ' contemporary, Aubrey, said Hooke designed what he called the 'pillar of Fish Street'Hill; " Whatever the truth, the Monument remains one of the wonders of London, although crowded in to -day by high buildings. The greatest diame- ter within it is only fifteen feet and the view from the top on a fine day is breath-taking—like the climb up! Down Billingsgate way they still talk of the feat of a young fish salesman, Len. Starke, who, in 1926 for a wager ran sixty yards from his place of business to the top of the. Monument and back again in three min- utes, fifty .seconds. A short, stout man climbed to the top of the Monument every day for nine months in 1923 for the sake of exercise after his doctor had told him he was too fat. Healways did it in his luncheon hour, before lunch, but used to say that the eertion made him hungrier than ever and that his wife had to• come ilp to the City daily to see that he did not overeat after descending, In the end he lost only two pounds in weight. You Can Be Lord Of Your Own Island Would you like to be lord of your own freehold island para- dise? If you don't mind a fairly wild and outlandish location, there's a genuine bargain in the market at the moment, The Three Isles of Quiet in the Outer Hebrides, fifty-four miles westward across treacher- ous sea from the Scottish main- land are being offered for sale, For the last eighteen years, the property has been the private possession of an elderly woman, But now, anyone with $18,000 in spare cash can acquire this group, become chieftain of his own domain, devise his own by- laws and decide what duties shall be paid. These islands have many note- worthy features, For instance, Mingulay, the largest, covering 1,517 acres, contains a ruined village. All the inhabitants fled from the place in 1909, ' On Bernera, measuring two miles by one, there is a light- house, a prehistoric fortress and a Loch Ness type Monster which was last sighted four years ago, Pabbay, the smallest of the lot, was a burial ground of Scottish monarchs, Lobsters, seals and basking sharks abound in the surrounding swell. And a few scattered families of fish- ermen and shepherds are the only remaining human beings. To tempt the prospective buyer a modern villa and a boat are included in the deal, But so far no rush of applicants has been reported. This remote, self - contained realm is one of many lying off the shores of Britain. And most of them are privately -owned by sturdy individuals who cherish their independence and do not welcome visitors. One of the strangest islands in the Hebrides is Iona, It is six square miles in 'area. And the few inhabitants are so well-be- haved that nobody has ever troubled to build a prison, nomi- nate a magistrate, or appoint .a single policeman. This crimeless community is visited only once a week by a constable who ventures across the stormy straits in a small boat from Mull. His arrival is regarded with disdain by these dour, isolated folk. But, to provide formal proof of his visit, they conde- scend ondescend to sign and date his note- book, Within living memory no resi- dent of Iona has ever been found guilty of theft, drunken- ness, bigamy or murder, And there is no record of any road offence, simply because bicycles, buses, cars and highways do not exist. In the sunny south, in Big - bury Bay, South Devon, is the twenty -acre luxury holiday re- sort of Burgh Island, One-time haunt of smugglers, it was sold recently by private treaty, A.nother privately -owned par- adise, which is almost self-sup- porting, is Caldy Island, off the coast of Pembrokeshire. It is only. 11 miles long and 34 of a mile wide. The lucky islanders can keep their own earnings: They pay neither rates nor taxes. And they all respect Mr, A. Grigg, the official who undertakes manifold duties during his busy day. He is the postman, telegraph boy, radio telephone operator, coastguard, officer in charge of life-saving apparatus, registrar and bread carrier for these in- sular households. Loaves are baked for the - population by monks of the Cis- tercian monastery who also or- ganize their own farm and mar- ket garden. On the East Collet there is a man who is never likely to be troubled by noisy neighbours, Ho is the lone watchman super- intending the picturesque Priory of Lindisfarne on a rocky isle near the shore of Northumber- land. He seldom sees other human beings except in summer, when curious tourists sail from the mainland to inspect the sea-girt relic. Yet he is delighted with his hermit existence, with the cry of seagulls and the moan of waves for company. But even more remarkable is Mrs. Gwen Bond. For over twenty years she has lived alone on Gugh Island, two -and - a -half miles by launch from St. Mary's in the Scilly Isles, off Cornwall, She leads an industrious life and never misses human. com- pany. Her companions in her ten -roomed granite home are a cat and a dog, And she keeps 100 head of poultry. For a livlihood she grows flowers to sell on the mainland, And her recreations include woodwork, fishing for plaice and mackerel, collecting gulls' eggs, shooting rabbits, reading and listening to a battery radio. Gaining Ground In Battle Against TB In a single generation tubercu- losis has dwindled dramatically as a cause of death among Can- adians, Although 1,800 died of TB in 1953, an additional 10,000 would have died if the death rate of 25 years ago had still prevailed. Even in the last 5 years the rate has dropped by two-thirds, and TB now accounts for many less deaths each year than such causes as birth injury, Nephritis or traffic accidents. Nevertheless, TB remains an im- portant disabling illness, requir- ing lengthy institutional treat. ment and absorbing a substan- tial proportion of Canada's health services, Each year -about 20,000 are admitted to sanatoria for treatment averaging nearly a year in duration.

And they are very hard to scare away, as tests at the Central Ex- perimental .Farm, Ottawa, have shown, 4, * * A carbide exploder was tested which consisted of a gas gener- ating unit that combines calcium carbide and water to produce acetylene gas, after the style of the headlights once used on auto- mobiles and bicycles, The gas Is mixed with air and creates an explosive mixture in an explo- sion chamber. In turn a pilot light ignites the gas and causes a report similar to that of a shot- gun, The explosions may occur as frequently as twice a minute under ideal conditions. * * * Two exploders were used in the Farm tests in a two.acre block of ear corn and reduced the damage from 20 per cent to six per cent, However, it cost approximately 75 cents per day to operate the units and in this particular test the value of 'the crop saved did not equal the cost of operating the exploders, 4. * * It was also found that while excellent protection was obtained for a couple of weeks or so, the birds soon became accustomed to the noise and were then more difficult to scare, The occasional use of a shot gun to supplement the exploders might increase the effectiveness of the units as bird starers, * * 4. The conclusion reached is that while carbide exploders afford some protection they are not a complete answer to the problem of scaring birds. . .

Consequently, it is possible to in- duce a tree of an established ap- ple variety to bear fruit as early as the second year from grafting or planting. * * * At the Canada Depart ment of Agriculture Experimental Sta- tion, Summerland, B.C,, experi. ments have been made to deter- mine the extent to which the fruitless period in apple seed- lings may be shortened by bark ringing.Bark rings, approxi- mately one-quarter inch in width, were removed from the central leaders of trees at 3 to 5 feet from the ground. The wounds were allowed to day for 15 min- utes and then covered with an emulsified asphalt tree seal, The ringing was done in the first week of June and the effect of ringing evaluated the following May by counting the blossom trusses on rii,ged and on unring- ed trees in adjacent rows. Most of the trees were in their eighth year from seed when ringed, 4' * * Two years' experiments indi- cated that ringing could shorten the fruitless period by one to two years in trees that we're close to the end of their juvenile phase. In very young' seedlings, ringing had no effect on blossom formation. In trees that were ready to ' bear fruit, irrespective of forcing, ringing increased the amount of blossom per tree. Most of the blossoms, and on many trees all the blossoms, were form- ed above the ring, The ringing effect lasted for one year only, and trees which failed to respond to the first treatment had to be' ringed again. Although the ring- ed trees experienced some shock, which was evident by yellowing of foliage and interruption , of growth in the part above the ring, no trees were lost by the treatment, * * * Since the operation is very simple and takes only one to two minutes per tree to perform, the treatment can be considered as a practical means of shorten- ing the fruitless period in apple seedlings. . Ringing can also be used to' induce blossom forma- tion in over -vigorous trees of all -varieties.

PEACE — AND WAR — As the world enters the 11th year of the atomic age, a monument to peace stands in' the shadow of shattred Industrial Promotion Hall, Hiroshima, Japan, Situated at ground zero, focal' point of the blast which levelled the city August 6, 1945, the rubble has been left as a reminder of the - cataclysmic power of the atom. Among the inscriptions on the memirial is one that expresses the wish of all mankind—"No More Hiroshimas," How To Propagate Lilies Quickly The popularity of garden lilies has increased greatly within the past few years and each new season sees a greater interst in this fine group of garden plants. Many species and varieties of Maps multiply themselves more or less rapidly by means of small bulbs which are produced on the underground portion of the stem. By allowing; these small bulbs to develop, a group of plants may be obtained eevntually from one • healthy bulb. But a more rapid method `is by scale propagation, - says D. F. Cameron, Division of Horticulture, Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, Ont. Most lilies may be propagated rapidly from the scales of the bulb, and various methods have been used, - most of which 'require the use of cold frames or propagating beds. .For the home gardener who wishes to propagate some of his choice lilies to extend his plant- - ings, or to increase his stock of a choice variety of seedling, the following method is suggested. This method requires little equipment other than polythene bags such as those in which ap- ples, oranges and other fruit and vegetables are sold, and some sphagnum moss, which may be• obtained from florists or gardtan supply stores. The best time to take the . scales from the lily bulbs is shortly after the flowers have faded. If the plant is dug up carefully at this time, a num- ber of thick fleshy outer scales may be broken away from the bulb without doing any harm to the plant. The core or heart of the bulb is then set back in the garden and it will continue its normal growth until the end of' the growing season. Another method of obtaining the scales is to dig the earth away from around: the base of the stem, ex- posing the underground stem down to the , bulb, when the scales may be pried loose with- out disturbing it. These fresh plump scales are then placed by separate varie- ties in polythene bags along with a couple of handfuls of slightly- moist 'shredded sphagnum moss, and the bags shaken to cover the scales with moss, The tops of the bags should be folded over to exclude the air, and held closed by' means of a paper clip' or. an elastic band. The poly- thene bags permit -the passage of gases but prevent moisture from escaping from them, thus lceeping the scales turgid. The- bags containing the scales should then be placed in a dark cabinet at room . temperature, and after three or four weeks, from one to four or five small bulbs will develop along the bases of the 'scales. By late Sep- tember or early October, these bulblets will be up to one-half inch in diameter and at this time they may be planted out, 2 inches deep, in a sheltered frame where they .can be pro- tected ' over winter, to be re- moved the following October to their permanent location in the garden, .Or the may be set out directly. from, the polythene bag into' the border. where they: are to flower, and covered :with a two, inch mulch of leaf mould, sawdust or shavings, to prevent heaving by frost action in the spring. By this inexpensive sim- ple method, one good healthy bulb can be propagated 'to yield up to one hundred flowering size bulbs within a period of two years, There is one piece of advice, in a life of study, which I think no one will object to; and that is, every now and then to be completely idle -to do nothing • at all. —SYDNEY SMITH. Tweedie -Dee -Junk Even as the late, great Ring Lardner in his time, we find ourselves growing tune -touchy What gripes us more each time it's repeated an radio, juke box or TV is that simpering little jumble of hogwash called "Tweedley, Tweedley, Tweedley Dee," Some of you oldsters may re- call that Ring Lardner's pet peeve among the juke ballads was Cele Porter's Night -and - Day thing, "I've Got You Under My SkIn." . , . He raved on by the column, cussing out the whole song. But what dug him the most was the rhyme about that "yearning, burning deep down inside of me" which gets "under the hide of me." Poor old Ring! He wanted songs to have a little dignity about 'em. We're glad he doesn't have to wince with us at the baby -talk rhyme tricks of the Tweedley song. They're enough to make Mother Goose herself blush. We don't object to rhyming "tweedley-dee" with "as can be," or "tweedley-dum" with "sugar plum" But when the switch runs to "tweedley-dot' in order to rhyme with "gimme all the love you've got," our gorge begins to rise. Each time we hear that song we feel a glaze forming over the eyes, and a• hum -happy spasm coming on: Tweedley,ditto-ditto dunk, Song -rhymes now are merely junk.

Hope for the Despairing: Isaiah, Chapter 55 Memory Selection: Incline your 'ear, and come unto me: hear and your soul shall live. —Isaiah, 55:11 The prophets of God were of- ten misunderstood. Jeremiah ad- vised that Jerusalem should sur- render, For this he was branded a traitor and cast into a dun- geon. He was known as the weeping prophet. But these prophets of doom had an opti- mistic faith, too. They knew that though God might chastise his people for a time for their sins, he would not forsake them. A better day would come. Jere- miah and Ezekiel, whose writ- ings form a part of today's les- son foresaw the return of the exiles to their own land. They had also, some vision of the new covenant which God would make with men through his son, Jesus Christ. The printed portion of the les- son is from Isaiah and has a universal appeal. It has been aptly called an Old Testament offer of salvation. The invitation is, "Ho every one that thirsteth." Man is rest- less within himself. He is only content when he gives himself in full surrender to God. In the meanwhile he wastes his money for that which is not bread and his energy for that which satis- fleth not, Isaiah pleads with men to seek the Lord while he may be found. He points out the way: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." Then there will be a transformation. "Ye shall go out with joy.—Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree." The life becomes beautiful and fruitful. Sin never pays. But God has provided a glorious deliverance from it, We will only find hap- piness which we come to' God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Hurricanes Release More Energy Than Several A.Bombs By KENNETII 0, GILMORE NEA Staff Correspondent Most of the big hurricanes come during the months of Au- gust, September and October ac- cording to records kept for 67 years. * -* * Hurricanes originate in tropi- cal ocean areas and usually. move from low, to higher lati- tudes .with increasing speed, size and intensity. 'They are large, revolving storms accompanied by destructive winds• heavy rains and high waves and tides. En- gineers have estimated that sur- face wind speeds up to 250 miles per hour have occurred within a hurricane. The damage a hurricane can do is frightening. The most re- cent example is 'infamous Carol which boiled through the New England states early last Sep- tember after brushing the North Carolina coast. It caused about 00 fatalities and a loss of over $460 million to property and crops. Officials at the Weather Bu- reau estimate that one minute of a hurricane uses up more en- ergy than the entire U. S. pro- duces in electric power . in 60 years. And the energy released by • a typical hurricane in one second is greater than. several atomic explosions. For the past 70 years an aver- age of eight hurricanes: per' year have occurred, but titin number has increased to 10 per day dur- ing the last 20 years. Lately, a number of people have been writing to the Weather Bureau suggesting the possibility of blunting or taming the storms with an atom bomb. What to Do in a Hurricane By NEA SERVICE For those persons on land who are in the path of a hurri- cane or near one, the Weather Bureau urges these instruc- tions be followedt Keep radio and television on and listen carefully for the latest alerts, warnings and advisories. Get away and stay away from beach areas and other lo- cations which may be swept by high tides or storm waves. Remain in your house if it is out of danger from high tides and well built. Supply yourself with extra food that can be eaten with- out cooking or much preparation. Sterilize the bathtub, jugs, bottles; cooking utensils and fill then with drinking water, as the city water service may be interrupted., Have flashlights or other emergency lights in working condition and handy. Be sure you have gasoline in your car. Cheek on everything that might blow away or be torn loose like garbage cans, garden tools, signs and porch furni- ture. If the center or "eye" of the storm passes directly over, don't be fooled by the lull in the wind. It will return from the opposite direction after a few minutes, frequently with greater force. This would do no good and only make matters worse, say the weather experts. Even as- sulning that `such an explosion stopped the winds momentarily, the natural production of energy by the hurricane rains would be sufficient to restore the winds to full force in about 15 minutes, Further, the heat of a blast in the atmosphere only tends to in— crease the intensity of the storm. Another objection is radioactiv- ity that ' would result from a nuclear explosion. It is estab- lished that fallout is greater when precipitation occurs, 'and PATTERN` FOR HAVOC: Arrows indicate directions in which hurricalles'generally`travel toward the Milted States; All of "then originate in the belt of doldrums in the southern North Atlantic. hurricanes always have consid- erable amounts of rainfall. .The best defense against hur- ricanes is a good warning sys- tem. And the Weather Bureau claims its Hurricane Warning Service has been expanded to improve t'he issuance and dis- tribution, of alerts. Here are some of the facilities that are going to be. in use dur- ing the hurricane season: From Brownsville, Texas, to Portland, Me., on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, teletypewriter circuits are hooked up to Weath- er Bureau offices. Instantane- ously every station on the cir- cuit receives all the observations, reports and alerts that are sent out. Many agencies pitch in to help during .this critical time of the year when every morsel of. in- ' formation can be used by mete- or-ologists to accurately and speedily predict When and where the storm will strike. Specially trained Air Force and Navy crews fly into areas of suspected , storm activity and' often 'directly into the storm. •This• is the most dangerous but also the most reliable method of reporting the location, inten- sity and movement of the storm. Also assisting are Coast Guard stations, lighthouses and mobile units. Ships in the hurricane cinity are ' of particular` value, and they furnish reports at hour- ly intervals.
