"News By James Richards The city editor said: "Get the storyl" and Pamela knew that if she didn't get it .she'd be getting herself another job—if site could. Thinking of tl:e cityeditor's bel- ligerent countenance, Pamela said, "Damn" under her breath: 1 -lis ulti- matum would involve Man Judd. Young Judd was news, Swell news, but, he hated reporters and would give out nothing, which made hint, as much as anything, swell news. Having just returned from an arch- aeological expedition to Persia and having made certain discoveries that,' if known, would startle the world,, Mr. Judd shut himself up in his summer place 'on Lake Kee- zar and announced that he had *nothing to say. At Keezar Lake village Pamela laid out her campaign, She learned the camp's location and its •general layout. The :infor- mation was discouraging. The camp was situated on a point. There was ' only one road of approach. Tins road was guarded day and night. That evening Pamela hired a canoe and did some exploring. The next morning she hired the sante canoe and paddled slowly toward the camp on the point. She was within 50 feet of the place when she discerned a man sitting' at a table beneath some trees on the shore,' bent over a typewriter. The man looked up at the exact moment Pamela screamed and tumbled from the canoe. Pamela was clinging' to the canoe's upturned bottom and yell-' ing lustily when the 'power boat arrived and a' 'Yo_ung man hauled he over the gunwale. She knew at a glance that it was Alan Judd, She lay on xhe,.bgttom gasping; and moaning: 'Soong Mr. Judd regarded her in deep cottgcctl, ' A motherly housekeeper provided her with'itot'blankets and hot soup. Alan Judd came in and `stared.•at' her. "Feeling better?" "I'm quite comfortable, , thank you. And thank you for -saving itie." "I'll run you back- to. the village this afternoon. - The motherly housekeeper gasp- ed. "You'll do no such thing. The poor child will catch her death of cold. I'll tell Henry to get her things from the hotel and fetch Dr. Carson." The next day Pamela announced weakly that she thought, she could go back to' the hotel, but Alan Judd's housekeeper would hear nothing of it In fact Mr. Judd him- self disapproved of the idea. You're hateful and deceitful," Pamela exclaimed. Pamela stayed at tine Judd camp three days. She sat in the sun and Alan Judd talked to her. He told her about :his explorations, his dis- coveries. "It's tremendously thrilling," Pamela enthused. "Have you—did you discover any4lling of importance on your last trip?" He nodded and told her about it. It was that easy. Pamela could barely restrain her excitement. The next morning she turned her story in to the city editor. He glanced over it and shook his head sadly. "This story," .he said,,•,"was - in the papers three days ago. Alan Judd finally ..finished his decipher, ing and gave out." `• Pamela went back to her:. room, It was a nice room.She liked it, She was going to hate moving. Someone knocked, on, the, door. Pamela gapdd:at` fire shall standing on the threshold ',\tan j.uddl" "No other," he grinned. "Aren't you sorry you deceived Inc?' "Yon know?" Color mounted in hercheeks, "I "light have told, I would have if it hadn't been for your housekeeper -the deceitful thingl She accepters my bribe and agreed to insist that you keep Inc there. If she could deceive' you, why shouldn't I?" "'What a terrible excuse, t can tell ny the way yon look yoti don't mean it, Besides, the housekeeper didn't deceive me,,sha:,deceived yotlpSit'e. told me about Your bribe.

He -is a self-made millionaire named Barry Falconer Mel,ean,'who lives is 'Canada, Although he hates publlcitY, Canadian 'reporters have relied on hint foryears to provide them with a constant stream of news items. McLean gives generottsly to vari- QUS charities, but it is his "small" gifts that appeal. •to the public fancy. • One day he went to a musical Comedy and enjoyed' the show so much that he sent every member of the chorus a mink coat. - During the war Ile turned up ,at a Toronto soldiers' hospital and distributed hundred -dollar bills to nurses and patients to the amount of $3,000 dollars. One evening McLean was late for a train, but the taxi-driver got him to the station in record time, Next day the driver's baby boy received a cheque for $2,0001 There have been other super - spendthrifts. In America, before the war, "Coal -Oil Johnny" Steck spent 8,000 dollars on clothes in a single day. When he stayed at an hotel in Philadelphia one of the clerks failed to accord hint proper defer- ence. "Coat -Oil Johnny" paid out $10,000 to lease the hotel for one day—and fired the clerk, HATED SPENDING An ancestor of the Marquis of Hastings was a lavish spender. But he wagered his entire inheritance on one horse. And the horse lost. Years ago Hollywood made a film about another fabulous rich man. He was "Diamond Jim" Brady, who had a separate, -com- plete set of jewelled studs, rings .and cuff -links for every day of the month. But what about multi -millionaire "Unsinkable" Suit Suits Her—Carolyn Keen, 1.5 -month-old water baby, floats along with .utmost confidence, She's wearing an "tine sinkable" odthing suit, which is being tested by the .Infantile - Paralysis' Fellowship of London, England. Particularly useful in supporting polio patients un4cargoing water therapy treatments, the suit may also be worn under street clothing, and is said. to, be able to support a person indefinitely. John D. Rockerfeller? He signed cheques for thousands of dollars, but hated spending loose change on himself. One day (so thestory goes) he went to the dentist to have a -tooth out, "How.. much?" he inquired be- fore hand. "Three dollars," said the dentist, 'who didn't know his client was Rockerfeller. "Three -.dollars .just to pull a toothi", mumbled the .millionaire, "Here's - one, dollar. I,00sen it a little bit!" TABLE: TAITJfSAndreps What to put in school childrens lunch boxes is a five -times -a -week problem which thousands of mothers are up against. I thor- oughly agree . with a suggestion made by Eleanor Richey Johnston in this connection. Writing in the Christian Science Monitor she ad- vises that you should always be sure to pack a surprise -in the box, because all children love surprises, and are happy with even the simp- lest ones. When you're icing cup- cakes, for instance, it takes only a few seconds_ to write your child's name on it with jelly beans or to press an animal cricket.' or a fancy colored gumdrop into the ,center before the icing hardens. * * * If you're snaking pies, roll the. leftover dough and cut into small rounds or animal shapes and cover with 'a mixture of butter, sugar, and cinnamon hefire you bake them. Add colored' sugar for an especially gay effect. * * * Fruit is an addition to every lunch, and it will appeal to the im- agination of your child if, when lie turns to his lunch box apple, he finds you have taken out the core and filled the cavity with rai- sins. * * * Oranges are, of course, a per- . ennial lunch -box favorite and it is a good idea to prepare them for easy eating. First, mark a strip about % inch wide complete- ly encircling the orange at the "equator"" line. Now remove peel above and below. Cut remaining Vt inch band vertically at a section division and gently part the orange to its core: Now part each section separately until they all lie flat on their backs attached to one another by the 52 in. band of peel,. They are easily put back in position then, ready for the lunchbox, yet ready to eat with little muss. * * * Tuck in the sandwich package a cube of cheese on a colored tooth- pick or a little package of raisins or carrot sticks wrapped in silver foil and tied with colored cord to add 'interest to the meal, Here • are a few suggestions for sandwich fillings that your child will like, You can devise others, using what you have in the house as well as catering to the taste of your own child.. Cream cheese, jam, and raisins. Chopped dates, chopped nuts, lemon juice, and mayonnaise. Ground cooked meat, pickle relish, chopped hard -cooked eggs, and mayonnaise. Chopped frankfurters, p'i c k l e relish,. mustard, and -chili 'sauce. Tuna fish, chopped hard -cooked eggs, chopped .celery, chopped pic- kle, and salad',dressing. Peanut butler tied chopped bacon. Peanut butir."and dried, ground fruits. '• Cottage 'cheese: chopped peanuts, and apricot' jam: • Grated Canadian cheese, ground or grated onion, chipped beef, and • chili sauce. Peanut butter and honey or orange marmalade. Cream cheese and grape jelly, strawberry jam, or chopped elates. If you would like to know the pro- portions that make the best sand- wich fillings, here aro a few exact recipes.

EFA IiiFRONT ktssell IK Just as youngsters hate to go backto school after the summer vacation, cows in many instances resent being deprived of their liber- ty in the fall. The eltattge from green forage to dry hay and silage, the reduction in the amount of daily exercise can result in reduction in feed intake and milk production— and in digestive disorders, Besides these things other items of care must beconsideredif the comfort and well being of the herd is to be kept eta high level. - 0 * The ability of , a dairyman is �• eittickly reflected by how his herd reacts to the cimbge-over from pas- ture to dry roughage in the fall of the year. The 'experienced herds- man makes the changeover from pasture to dry roughage feeding as gradual as possible. As the pas- ture becomes shorter and of lower nutritional value he substitutes good flay and corn silage as rough. age fed in racks in pasture and in barn at milking. As the nights be - conte cold and frosty lie keeps the cows in the barn and lets them out to graze only during the sunny part of the day. * * * During the changeover period fall -planted rye and legume hay lands can begrazedfor a few hours a day to .a very good advantage. Never pasture Sudan grass after frosts, since freezing develops a cyanic acid in the plants that may poison cattle. When cattle are first confined to the barn watch the con- dition of the. droppings. Cows that show a tendency to constipation and hard dropping should be given a tonic prescription at once to get them back to rormal. * * * During the summer pasture per- iod, sunshine and showers keep the cows' hair coats and skin,clean and • fresh. Being kept in the barn changes this, and necessitates daily cleaning to remove loose hair, dirt, and manure which accumulates. The best dairymen curry and brush their cows daily after the morning milking. Such treatment stimulates. the flow of blood just below the surface of the skin, and makes the cows feel more comfortable. The head, neck, flanks, udder and belly should be clipped soon after stabling the herd, in the interest of cleanliness and easier grooming, * * * Care and sanitation play a strong part in the prevention and control of mastitis. Ample bedding should be kept under cows at all times while they are in the barn during the winter. This will prevent the cows' udder from resting on the cold concrete floors, which prac- tice can lead to swellings, fever and mastitic in the udder. Cold floors are not the direct cause of mastitis, a common "winter time" disease, . but it is a fact that this disease is much more prevalent in herds where cows lie on cold floor's with insufficient bedding. This is due to the fact that an udder, weakened by chilling on a hard, cold floor, is "much more susceptible to an at- tack of mastitis * * * Studies at the University of Il- linois have shown that a large per- centage of acute mastitis cases were started by teat and udder injuries, improper sterilization of milking machine tea cups, and failure to prevent mastitis germs from travel- ing from one cow to the other over the stall platforms and bedding, Tests have shown that mastitis germs live as long as 20 days on undisinfected stall platforms or cows skin. Where such germs con- tacted properly disinfected surfaces, the life of the mastitis germ was cut to less than one day. This in- dicates the vital necessity of proper disinfection in the protection of a Milking herd against mastitis infero thou: 1 good dip and disinfectant solution should be sprayed on the stall floor and bedding of cows every day or so. - * * t Should a cow develop mastitis in spite of the precautions mentioned, the use of a mastitis treatment is recommended, Penicillin - dihydro- streptomycin ointment is a highly effective treatment if used in time. This product comes in a handy squeeze" tube that makes treat- ment very easy. The small tip of the tube is inserted in the infected teat and the contents slowly squeez- ed out of the tube and into the quarter. Then a light massage spreads the ointment throughout the quarter * Many times a -cow's udder may be bruised or damaged by being stepped on, butted, or stung by in- sects. This causes congestion in one or more quarters of the udder. In such cases, bathing with warm water, milking out, and . rubbing with an udder ointment several times a day, will bring relief and prevent a "gargety" condition which may lead to infectious mas- titis. * * * Winter conditions of housing, cause cattle to become more sus- ceptible t� attacks, of lice. It is therefore, a good practice to treat the herd regularly, by applying a dry insecticide or louse powder in the spots where the lice usually frequent, namely around the shoul- ders, neck, brisket, and tail, A repeat treament every 3 or 4 weeks, as needed, should be given. Having missed his railway con- nection, a ,disgruntled man spent a miserable hour exploring a dark and dreary town in the pouring rain. Hoping to cheer himself up with a really good meal, he en- tered a restaurant, "What have you got that's good?"- he asked a waitress grump- ily: "Sage hen," she answered, "What's sage hen?" "Oh, it's a bird that's shot around here." "Has it got wings?" "Of course it's got wings." "Then I don't want any," snort- ed the man. "I don't want any- thing that has wings and still stays in this rotten town." A Hollywood starlet once upset precedent by asking Kreisler for an autograph instead of giving her own to wild-eyed bobby Boxers. The starlet's disarming request read —"It doesn't matter whether you write it or print it, Mr. Kreisler. I copy all my autographs over, any- how, alphabetically in my scrap- book." MDR SCHOOL LESSON By Rev, R. B.

Id mind. He begins wit11 Abraham and sets forth Christ as the Mes- siah. "That it might be fulfilled which was written" occurs many times, Christ was the fulfillment of the hopes ixpressed in the Old Testament. Matthew does not speak of Christ's ascension, Mark writing of Romans begins with Malachi and shows Christ as alt active worker. He gives His reser? rection and ascension. Linke writer of Gentile converts, He begins with John the Baptist though he traces the lineage of Jesus back to Adam and to God, There is no sugges- tion of any state in which man was either a water puppy or a chimpan- zee. Luke presents Christ as the perfect man. He gives His -resur- rection and the promise of a Com- forter, John begins with God and present Christ as a personal Savior. He speaks of Christ coming again. Together they give beautiful view of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The writers had a different emphasis but without any contra- diction, Jesus Christ "ret and defeated the Tempter. Strong appeals were made to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life. But where Eve and Adam had fallen, Jesus remained steadfast. He saw beyond the present and would not sacrifice the future good for the present pleasure. Since He won O4 the battle field of temptation, -we, by His grace, may also win. He has paved the way for victory over sin, the flesh and the deviL Through Him we are conquerors. May the spirit of obedience which characterized the life of our Savior, be ours, too.

Pearson_.__ ULTRAMODERN sophisticates Iook down their noses at anything remotely tinged with Victorianism. In their judgment family albums are definitely a part of the spirit of yesteryear: Perhaps we are still too young as people to appreciate properly the soul -satisfying traditions of previous generations, but time is catching up on this regrettable attitude. Tile collection properly begins with a group of old daguerreotypes and ferrotypes. Great-grandfathers posed stiffly in their hirsute glory. In the nineteenth century beards and mustaches framed faces 'of solid, resolute character. Great-grandmothers used billows of petticoats and fetching bustles and seemed to favor high neckpieces of lacy, starched material. They piled their hair high and occasionally they went in for braids worn as a crown. But in the faces of those men and women, family likenesses can be seen. At the turn of the century, styles were more daring, Beards were disappearing and the bustle was gone; petticoats were reducedto one or two. There were Gargantuan hats piled high with flowers and ornamental fruits. The girls, now grandmothers, had prim shirtwaists, ankle-lengtk skirts, and high shoes. The boys specialized in tight -fitting suits and ' wide white collars. Through 'the years the procession continued. The changes in dress reflected the growing freedom of human beings as they emerged into the age of mechanical marvels. The bulky, billowy bathing suits gradually came nearer the irreducible minimum. The cars changed from horseless carriages to modern streamlined automobiles. The family album is a part of our growing tradition; it tells the story of myriad changes. On a rainy afternoon when the children gather round the living -room table to see the pictures and hear the familiar, loved stories, they are learning a nation's history.
