Jimmy 1)urante used to complain
that " verybody wants to get into
the art': but it remained for one
of the latest of the -myriad radio
'quiz programs to prove it. Lt fact
this particular program proves that
people are crazy enough to pay
good money for the privilege of
hearing their own names come over
the air weaves.
Although I haven't yet happened
to hear it, I understand the idea of
the show is something like this.
They have a Board of Experts,
something after the style of "In-
formation Please". You send in a
question—paying a dollar for the
privilege—and it is put up to the
experts. Should they answer your
question correctly, it costs you an-
other five dollars. All the proceeds
go to Charity, who must almost be
tied with her sister Liberty for the
number of crimes committed in her
name, and it is reported that the
questions, and money orders, are
fairly rolling in.

For some time different Holly-
wood film companies have been
after Sir Barry Lauder—remember
Harry and his kilts and his cane?—
for permission to make a picture
based on his stage career. Up to
now, however, the veteran Scots
coutclian has turned a deaf ear to
their pleadings—and to the huge
offers which accompanied them.
Ilut now, from Edinburgh, comes
word that the "wee man wi' the
mighty voice" has at last relented;
and so:1:e time next year Sir Harry
will be travelling to Ameriea again
to supervise the script and the
selection of the actor who will por-
tray him on the screen.
According to Sir Ilarry's stipular
tions, the film must be made in
Technicolor, and some of the scenes
must be actually taken in his native
Scotland.
Just fur the record I'd like to
remark, in passing, that unless they
adopt the "Jolson Story" technique
—that is, by means of old record-
ings, put the real Lauder voice in
his portrayer's mouth, the producers
of the Lauder epic are going to have
a"hard time satisfying the old-timers
at least. For millions in Canada
and throughout the world can testify
that Harry Lauder, quite unaided,
could get more power, volume, feel-
ing and pathos into his voice than
modern croonsters and sob -artists
can do with a whole studio -full of
mikes, amplifiers and other mechani-
cal substitutes for the real thing.

"If James Cagney and his pro-
ducer -brother William had done
nothing more than exhibit the cour-
age to put "The Time of Your Life"

would still owe them a real debt of
gratitude," is the way News

of the new picture of that name.
Seen in the film are Jimmy Cagney

�Ar�twstt
Dear Mr, Arnott: Your hand-
writing column interests me very
much and I look for it each week in
our local newspaper. Please analyse
my handwriting as soon as conveni-
ent.
Your hand-
writing is unus-
ual in that every
letter is pointed,
giving a sharp
or wedge shaped
outline to the
writing, Take
the letter "y"
1 o r instance;
notice the up-
stroke. how it moves off to the right
of the downstrolce without making
a loop which is usually seen in this
letter, Also the body of the "y"
comes down sharply and goes off to
the right, giving it a very definite
wedge shaped appearance. The
letters "u" and "r" have the same
distinguishing feature..
This stj le of writiu;y indicate, an
aggressive nature, one which makes
you itnpaiient with other; in your
endeavour to get things dotty You
drive yourself with all possible
haste and become annoyed when
your plans do not materialize quick-
ly. There are good points, too,
about this style of script. It shows
that you have ambition to be suc-
cessful in any enterprise you may
undertake and that you 'lo not mind
competition with others as you can
think and act quickly and are ever
ready to take up any reasonable
challenge to show your powers of
aggressiveness.

I read that column you wrote about
the wife who treats her husband so
welt Waking hint gently, prepar-

That, to rate, is
the ideal situa-

That I'm sure of, 100 per cent.
"But the boys in my office (all
married) are ridiculing me. They
paint dark and dreary pictures of
married life, and give discouraging
stories of their own plight. All
true, they swear. They claim that
the wife you mentioned is next to
an impossibility, and that 1 should
take the advice of real, local and
known cases and be guided by them

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. What is the correct way to
eat artichokes?
A. Hold the leaf in the fingers,
dip into the sauce the end which is
to be eaten and with the fingers
convey the leaf to the mouth. A
fork is used to cut the heart and
eat it.
Q. Is it obligatory that a hostess
introduce all guests at a shall din-
ner or luncheon, or allow them to
become acquainted themselves?
A. Yea; by all means, introduce
them.
Q. If a man is writing a friendly
letter to some woman acquaintance
or friend, what would be an appro-
priate closing?
"Faithfully yours," or "Sin-
cerely yours."
Q. I am a young woman and
have been invited by a young couple
to spend a week -end in their home,
Am I expected to make my own
bed, help with the dishes, etc.?
A. Any help you can give will
show a sense of breeding. How-
ever, don't make a big fuss of it and
be careful that you don't get in
your hostess+ way, otherwise you
might be hindering, rather than
helping, her,
Q. Should a young woman be
congratulated upon her approaching
marriage?
A. No, She should receive one's
good wishes for her happiness, The
prospective bridegroom is congratu-
lihowever,
* young (its I a'suttte yOut assn-
* elates are) think it beneath their
* dignity to boast of their wives,
* thinking they'll be called issies.
* Older men, however, who know
* what marriage has done for them,
* who loot: baric along years of low-
* ing companionship, are quick to
* encourage younger ones its love
* to follow suit. With the assur-
* ante and dignity of maturity, they
* acknowledge humbly their debt to
* the wives who have cheered them
* along the way.
Dream Your Dreams
* THESE MEN in your office who
* decry marriage—all marriages, in-
* chiding their own—seen a dull
* and stupid lot. Their dull wit is
* a neat match for the stupidity of
* their choice of wives—if they are
* telling the trtttlt. Which I doubt.
* Perhaps none is as honest as
* would be his tears if the wife he
* belittles cane to an untimely end.
* I do not publish fictional stories.
* The wife whose letter I published
* lives not in' your town but about
* 1,200 miles away. (Does that
* make her story less real?) Yet
* in your city I expect there are
* hundreds of couples just as con-
* tented.
* Go ahead with your dreams.
* If you and your girl appreciate
* each other as you say, you will
* give lie to these scoffers.

The Gardener
In corduroys and coat of brown
Old Joe the gardener goes
To wage his war nn snail and slug
And tend the early rose.
Ile plants itis flowers in ordered
rows
Like soldiers on parade
And seldom stops as Daddy does
To lean upon his spade.
And now upon the spangled grass
Ifis eager glances spy
A host of daisies, buttercups
Their fares to the sky
And tiro I begged lte'd spare a few
Old Joe began to stow.
He simply shook his head and said
"Thent's weeds, and weeds must
go.,"
But summer sun and gentle rain
Made lovely growing weather
And soon in spite of old Joe's zeal
Were flowers and weeds together.
Then old Joe growled and matched
his head
And muttered. "Well I never!
As sure as I'm a gardening mart
Them weeds be powerful clever."
And as he slowly turned his back
I thought I heard Joe sigh
And though you won't believe me
A daisy winked her eye.

How Can 1?
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I restore a bottle
of ink that has become thick?
A. Merely by adding a little
vinegar to it.
Q. How can I determine how
much dye is needed to dye a
sweater?
A. Remove the buttons from the
sweater, then weigh the garment
while it is dry. Enough dye should
be bought to color the number of
pounds the article weighs. A
sweater will not take a good color
with insufficient dye.
Q, How can I induce sleep in a
restless person?
A. A small dose of soda in a
glass of warm water before retir-
ing is very effective.
Q• How 'can 1 harden earthen-
ware?
A, Place it in a pan of cold
water and bring it very slowly to
the boiling point. Then allow it to
cool slowly,
Q. How can I prevent the iron
from sticking to the clothes when
pressing out starched pieces?
A. Try using soapy water as a
starch foundation. Use one table-
spoon of soap jelly to each quart
of water. Then add the necessary
amount of starch,

Largo Economical Sizo

Dorcas, a Woman of Good
Works
Acts 9:30.42
Golden Text—Inasmuch as ye have
done it onto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it
unto me. Matt. 21:40.
People often emphasize one phase
of divine truth to the neglect of
others. One group, conscious of
the extreme to which another has
gone, proceeds to the opposite ex-
treme,
Some have sought to earn their
way to heaven by good works. This
le contrary to Bible teaching. "A
man is not justified by the works
of the law, but by the faith of
Jesus Christ" "By grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not
of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
not of works, lest any man should
boast." On the other hand some
have truly taught that man is saved
by faith but have failed to urge t
those who believe In Jesus Chrio
should be careful to maintain g
works. Faith without works is
dead.
Dorcas is an example of a Chrfw
flan whose faith was demonstrate(
by good works, Her labours were no(
for the sake of publicity but for
those in need. Widows wept .and
showed Peter the coats and gar-
ments which she had made for them.
Peter prayed and Dorcas was re-
stored to life. This was not merely
a reward for her good works, but
one of the signs wrought by the
apostles, by which many were con-
verted to the Christian faith and
believed on the Lord.
To do good works is to minister
to the needs of our fellowmen. In
doing so we are ministering to
Jesus, who said, "Inasmuch as ye
have done it unto one of the least
of these my brethren, ye have done
it unto Me".
