The southern hall of Cape Breton smiles toward the sun and welcomes the incoming traveler with golden arms -the Bras d'Or Lances, The waters of this inland sea ramify into many parts of the island and cut it in- to two pices, with the aid of St. Peter's Canal, which allows sea- going vessels to enter the lakes from the south. However, the lakes serve to uttitezas well as to divide, for seas and many smaller boats. ply between the settlements on fee'shores and those on the many islands The rivers of ;C'ape Breton, as well as the lakee "present mag- nificent scenery and provide good fishing; They flow in all dir- ections from the central high- lands, and several of therii emp- ty into the Bras d'Or Lakes.

The macadam bighways are reason- ably good, but the same cannot be said for the byways, Two hundred miles, on the average, is an arduous day's run on the roads of Cape Breton -and less than that if one goes explor- ing oil' the main routes. --From "Cape Breton," by Arthur Wal- worth. A primary safety rule empha- sized by the National Safety Council is "A place for every- thing and everything in its place," A recent Council study of hospitalized home accident cases showed that the largest single cause of injuries, other than poor judgment, was dis- order. In fact, disorder was res- ponsible for putting one out of every five accident victims m the hospital, llemove accumulated papers, rags and rubbish in the home from basement to attic. White- wash or paint the basement and haul out all of those old clothes and magazines that have been stacked up. ,Dust and cobwebs around lightbulbs not only cut down the amount of light but also prevent a radiation of heat which might cause fire. Medi- cines, poisons and inseeticides should be clearly labeled and kept out of reach of children. Provide suitable receptacles for knives and other sharp kitchen tools. Stairways and ladders should be checked and kept in good re- pair. Ramps? may prove desirable to overcome the hazards of dif- ferent floor levels. Avoid stor- ing loose material overhead on rafters or between floor joists and make sure ,that forks scra- pers, brooms, rakes and other barn equipment are kept in racks or other suitable place$ where they wilt not injure peo- ple. Around the farm much trash accumulates during the year, such as wire, old cans, pieces of boards and other debris. Much of that equipment offers fav- orable places for rats. Gather up all such material and haul it to the dump or dispose of it in some other suitable manner. , Filially, a good farm work shop is an excellent project as part of the clean-up plan. Such a workshop will add efficiently to ail of the farm operations during the year. The shop should be located in a building that is weather proofed and with doors large enough to permit bringing in large equipment for repair and adjustment. The shop should be carefully arranged and all the tools and equipment kept in their assigned places, 6' Along with clean-up, a paint - up campaign also makes for a better looking and a snore valu- able set of buildings. More im- portant still -a neat place ie a safe place -for work or play. SAFETY 1. Operating tractor near em- bankment. 2, Tractor operator not !coking where he is going. 3.

At the Meknes fait be saw women on the "flying chairs." their skirts afloat In the breeze -though their veils were still held firmly in place. At the Bahia palace, Marrak- esh, he caw the Court of the Harem where the Sultan's Vizier owned more than 250 women.

Adding a small wing to his palace for European visitors, one pasha or- dered his workmen to lit a bath- room to each bedroom, In each bathroom were two baths -one with hat water, one with cold! The late Sultan Abdel -el -Aziz was the gadget king. He bought j a motor -boat for a pool 100 yards long, laid a light railway for a two-mile journey. But his prize exhibit was a tandem tricycle. Ke occupied the ornate back seat, and employed his aged. Prime Minister tb pedal him round the grounds! An old French settler recalled the time when England had ambi- tions in Morocco and sent an im- posing. mission to the Sultan, with presents. One enormous Guards officer was greatly ad- mired by the crowd, specially for his bearskin. "But what is it?" they began to murmur. A newspaper correspondent in the procession knew that in Arab lands a question should not go unanswered. In front of him stood a water -seller, his goatskin water - bag on his back. This suggested an idea. "That is 'an English water -bag," he called out, "This officer is a very gallant 'lion. He put out a fire in his town, and his sultan now allows him to wear his water -bag on hie head, as a sign of honour." A story of Thami el Glaoui, Berber chief of .Marrakesh, whom Mr. Newman visited, concerns a woman visitor who, unaware that he understood French, remarked to a Companion: "What ie pity to see such a beautiful ring on the finger of an old monkey."

Now Tin taking up one for myself';' Modern Etiquette Q. Is one obligated to give a wedding gift to a bride when one hag already given her a shower present? A. Yes; a shower gift does not take the place of a wedding gift. Q. When "cutting in" at a dance, should a man lay his•hind' upon the girl's shoulder or arm? A. No; he should touch her partner's shgiilder and ask plea- santly, ",I1'Iay'I cut in?" Q. Is it all 'right for a person to complement his bridge partner who plays a hand particularly well? A. Yes, why not? A few words of praise for. .his .skill are not out of place. But never, under any circumstances, criticize the play, even if your partner hap- pens to be your spouse. This would be exceedingly i11 -bred. Q. Is it really considered good taste for a man to wear a hand- kerchief in his breast pocket? A. Yes, it is. The handker- chief should not, however, give the appearance of careful ar- angement. Q. Are opera glasses consider- ed stylish? A. This is not a question of style, but of usefulness. Opera glasses are to help the spectates - get a clearer view of the perform- ers. It is not good form to use them between acts to stare at other persons in the audience. Q. Would it be proper for us to mail out announcements of the adoption of a new baby, just as though it were our own child? A. Yes, unless there is an aisle seat involved. Then he should, of course, sit next to the aisle, Q. Is the engagement of a widow of 30 announced formally by her parents in the usual man- ner? A. In this case, the news is usually passed formally to friends. However, it is quite all right to have the engagement announced in the Iocal news- papers. - Q. Is it proper to Invite peo- ple to a shower who you know are not being invited to the wed- ding? A. Most definitely not! Un- less, of course, the wedding is to be so small that only the imme- diate families will be included. Fought Duel With Cork Bullet$ , While in a bar at $7ndura, Salisbury (Southern Rhodesia), a Mr. Colin Browne saw a 4nake, a puff adder. It was abou'"t0 at- tack an hotel guest, •Withy*uner- ring aim, Mr: Brown picked up a dart and pinned the Snake through the head, Browne, inci- dentally, is the local darts cham- pion. .. , People in a hurry to defend Ithemselves often, use the ,oddest weapons. There was a case in the courts some time ago, after two rival Welsh bands had indulged in a battle royal. They had hit out at one another with the in- struments, inflicting many a black eye and broken arm "Choose your weapons, gentle- men," those arranging a duel used to say, but the choice was normally only between pistols and swords. There have, however, been 1 50111e novel variations, ( I{ing Charles is jester, Jeffrey Hudson, 1 a dwarf,was ill France when hr e decided that a Mr. Crofts had insulted him, He challenged hint to a duel. Crofts didn't take Hudson seri- ously and appeared oralled with a syringe, The jester, unfortun- ately, was unable to appreciate the other's sense of humour, and insisted on a proper duel, This time Hudson, with his pistol, shot Me. Crofts dead, - - A less gruesome fight took place between a Colonel Len- nox and the Duke of York at the end of the eighteenth cen- tury. Their duel was held according to the ordinary rules, except that the bullets were made of cork, The only result was that the dukes curls were ruffled. Weapons were quite normal when two Frenchmen fought for the- love of Mme, Tirevit, a Pari- sian ,opera star, but their mounts were not, She promised to marry which- ever man should prove himself the better, and to decide this they arranged a duel from bal- loons. These were released from the gardens of the Tuileries, and at a certain signal the rivals at- tempted to short down the de- ponent's balloon with a blunder- buss. One succeeded and the bal- loon's occupant was killed. Mme. Tirevit, however, exercised her woman's right to change her mind, and refused t0 marry the survivor. Many an odd contest has been staged to decide which of two suitors shall have the fair lady, and one of the strangest was ar- ranged by the Emperor Maxi- milian II, A German and a Spaniard • were both anxious to marry the emperor's lovely daughter, Hel- en, Liking both men, Maximilian couldn't make up his mind which would make the better husband. A duel, he felt, might result in the death of one, and he had no wish for that. So he produced a large bag, and announced that whichever man succeeded in putting the other into it should be free to marry Helen. After a frenzied struggle last- ing more than hour, the German bagged his man, hoisted the sack upon his shoulders, and laid it at the princess' feet. She, unlike Mme. Tirevit, kept her promise, and married the victor the very next day. Dog Daze. The Swiss Post Office, worried about the strained relations be- tween their 10,000 postmen and the dogs on letter rounds, have issued official advice on how to make friends with bad-tempered dogs. Point one is never to show fear or mistrust, but to talk to the dog in a friendly way. Call it by name, if you know it, If that doesn't work, the post- man is' advised that a bone or sausage should do the trick. * o Los Angeles has a dog problem of a different kind. It is estimated that 250,000 of the city's 700,000 dogs are suffer- ing from nervous complaints due to the noise of the city. Dogs, it is said, are four times - as sensitive to noise es human beings.

R. 13 Warm. 13.A., B.0 God's Righteousness Reveale Romans 1:8.11; 211-2; 3121.-23u4, Memory Selection; I ant n o tt ashamed of the gospel Of, Christi for it is the power of God itnee salvation to every one that -be.- lieveth, Itontans 1:16. In our two lessons from the letter t0 the Romans, the first ' deals with Christian doctrine and the second with Christian beha'n viour. In the first part of the let- ter is pet forth what is perhaps the most weighty teaching that Paul has given us. -He,points out the gross sin of the heathen. But the Jews who have had the bene- fits Of centuries of divine revela- tion are also sinners, He con- cludes that "All have sinned, and. come short of the glory of God." Then he points out that even Abraham obtained his, personal righteousness, not by any ordin- ance 61 the law as circumcision, but by believing God. It - was a righteousness of faith, "There- fore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." This truth still needs empha- sis, Many people sincerely be- lieve that church membership is a passport to heaven. Others be- lieve that Christian baptism and the fulfillment of certain rites will ensure their eternal bliss. Some think that certain payments of money will suffice. Now how- ever good any or all of these may be, they do not acquit' us before the holy God. We are not saved by what we chi but by trusties in Jesus Christ because of what He has done for us. He died for our sins. He was delivered for our offences, and afsed again for our j ustification',,1 If we live by the, faith of the Son of God sin has, no more do- minion over p21 "But now being' made free from sin, and become: servants to Grid, yet have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life." •(6;22,. A group of heathen had'tiaen taught the gospel and 'were in- vited to be baptized. They said, "We can't because we do not believe." "But," said the mission- ary, "you believe what 1 have told you." Then _they. explained that in their language the ward for believe also meant to obey: Intellectually they accepted the gospel but they were not yet ready to obey it. Only as we re- ceive the gospel andareprepared to live by it, are we counted righteous in the sight of God. The just shall live by faith.
