man invented ted
a moa

collar stud, and, as a result, drew
05,000 a year in royalties for the rest
of his life. Another man invented a
new kind of cap for soda -water bottles
and although it took him six years to
get his invention on the market; he
made a fortune on the first :year's
trading,
{S`ma�l househNld things tike ; studs
and bottle -stoppers sometimes . have
tremendous consequences — such as
the fortune of £•1,042,002 left by Mr.
Ellis Carr, who died a short time ago,
having made his money out of baking
biscuits.
There was the man—who knows his
name?—wlro noticed that his wife's
hairpins were always falling out, put
a crinkle' in them, and grew rich; and
there was another equal genius who
thought of putting an India -rubber tip
to .pocket pencils and- grew even rich-

posterity—he was H. L. Limpman of
Philadelphia.
'The insignificant shoe button, too,
has had its Napoleon of inventiveness
in the person of Mr. Heatin, who was
responsible for a new kind of 'metal
staple that . revolutionized the boot
trade and made him wealthy.
The earliest step in the perfection of
the sewing machine was talker by one
Elias Howe, who conceived the idea of
placing the eye in the needle near the
point, instead of at the head, and thus
paved the way for Mr. Singer and his
rivals. '
And there was Mr. Adams, who in
187+1 brought out a patent for chewing -

the man who invented tins for food,

tins, and the master -mind who crown -
ed himself with glory by inventing a
tin which did not need an •opener at.

It is worth recalling, in this case,
that a Chicago meat packer, hearing of
the invention, ordered 10;000,000 of
the new tins straight away and was
followed in desperate: haste by his riv-
als, who fell over each other in the ef-
forts to secure supplies of the new
marvel,
Who invented the penny -in -the -slot
weighing machine? Why, Mr. George
Weaver of Bath who died penniless,
as you might say, leaving only a paltry
£116,000. And who invented the police
whistle ? It was none other than Mr.
Joseph Hudson who broke upon a
startled world of burglary in 138'4
with his shrill masterpiece and at
secured a contract for 21,000 of his
products. Today there are 600 different
types of whistle, all manufactured by
the firm which Mr. Hudson founded.

GOOD DEID
6ftr1' GONes Enke Money to Pay ifil
General Headquarters.
Girl Guides and Brownies all over
the British Empire are doing their.
bit le helping to collect money to pay
for the Girl Guide Headquarters, in
Buckingham Palace road, London.
It is only two years ago since the
Chief: Scout prophesied that the
building would be the biggest bit of
teamwork the Girl Guide movement
had ever undertaken, and already the
magnificent response of 241.000 has
come in to prove the truth of his
words,
All the counties in England, Scot-
land, Wales, the Irish Free State,
Ulster and the Channel Islands have
been and still are sending what they
can, and the response from the Dom-
inions has been unexpected and
generous,
Within a few clays of receiving the
special appeal Bombay cabled for a
door at 530 to be reserved, and don-
ations of special interest are those
received from places where there ale
very few Guides, such as the Gold
Coast, 270; Uganda, 210; Falkland
Islands, 220. Gilbert Islands, with a
company of native its sent ni n baskets
g
home-made
by themselves, to be sold
in aid of the building.
Brownies are always very impa-
tient to own a brick in the building,
and whereas a company of Guides us-
ually waits until it has raised a fair
sum to send in, a Pack will send half
a crown for one brick with the prom-
ise of "another half -brown very
soon," One Brownie turned up at
her commissioner's house with a real
brick, which she put down with much
•pride. .'Please, father's a bricklayer
and says half a crown is too much for
any brick, so here's,one, anyhow'"
As for the building itself, all the
offices are completed and a full staff
is working in them. The main hall
and shop still remain to be finished,
and over 233,000 to be collected.
The Guides have set their hands to
the task, however, and the walls are
GUARDIAN OF TOWER BRIDGE.
Has Held Post Ever Since Bridge
1 Was Finished.
Every Londoner and nearly every
visitor to London, England, knows
the Tower Bridge which opens to al-
low ships to pass beneath and then
shuts again to let road traffic resume'
its normal way. But it you want to
make the acquaintance of the man
who looks after the bridge you must
climb eighty six steps to his office
perched at the top.
Mr. John Gass, the superintending
engineer and bridge master, has held
his post ever since the bridge was
finished thirty-nine years ago. He is
now seventy-eight years of age and
will shortly be retiring. In the whole
of his long time on the bridge there
has not been a single accident. Be-
fore the war, when pleasure steamers
were more numerous, about twenty-
five hoists a day were made, but now
the number is not more than about
sixteen.
The warning that a ship will want
the bridge raised is given as she
passes a station a short distance
away. Then traffic is stopped and
the actual hoist takes a minute and
a halt,
Ilia BOYS' BRIGADE.
Headquarters of Organization Moved
From Glasgow to London.
The Boys' Brigade recently cele-
brated its 47th birthday and the
headquarters of the organization was
moved from Glasgow to London.
At'present the Brigade is probably
strongest in Scotland, and 10,000
have turned out to a Glasgow review,
while London could only muster
5,000 for an important function. The
total number of members reported at
the recent annual meeting of the
couch was 95,143.
The Boys' Brigade started in Glas-
gow in 1883, when the late Sir Wil- '
liam Smith, who was keenly inter-
ested in the training and welfare or
youth, got together thirty boys. The
movement grew rapidly, and. about
800,000 ex -members of the ersgade
served in the forces during the great
war, one of the New Army battalion
being composed entirely of old bogs
of the Brigade.
To -day the Boy Scootshave rather'
overshadowed the Boys' Brigade but
the movement 1a hording its awn,
and has a great record of service pp
behind it:

Exporting Tree Seed._
Canada is yearly playing a bigger
part In Empire reforestation, Fifty-
three per cent. of the tree seed ex
ported from the Dominion has gone
to Great Britain, forty per cent. to
New Zealand and the remainder to
Australia, Ireland and other parts of
the Empire. During the past ten
Years the British Forestry Commis-
sion has planted 140,000- acres of
softwoods, the greater part of the
seed having been sent from Canada.

The report of the Minister of Agri-

Minister in •which he reviews the out-
standing accomplishments of that
year in•an agricultural way. These in-
clude the •creation ,:of the :Ontario Mar-
ke'ting''Board in May, 1931, which has
given leadership in the marketing of
farm products, especially those of the
dairy, live stack, fruit and vegetable
industries. A survey of cold storage
requirements was 'made and assistance
givers to the erection of six new cold
storage warehouses at :points in the
province. These facilities were of tun -
usual service because of the Tong hot
season last year. A ten-year cold stor-
ge program enlbracing.tthe needs of
all branches of agriculture is in course
of preparation. One of the ;brightest
spots; remarks the Minister, was the

Clover Seed Prospect
G. S. 'Peart, ,Chief of the Markets
Division, Dominion Seed .Branch, hes
just returned from a trip through
some of the •principal alsike and recd
clover producing districts in "Ontario
and reports that seed production pros-
pects for these two , crops sappears
poor,
,Generally spteaking red clover did
not winter well owing to insufficient
snow cover and meadows with really
good :stands are not numerous.
This prospect of a short red clover
seed crop taken in conjunction' : with
the relatively small amount of the.
1931 crop carried over, may mean a
strong domestic demand for ICanadiut
grown red 'clover seed for sowt:W
next spring, and those farmers who
are, fortunate in having good stands en
fields reasonably free from weeds
should leave the second cut 'for: seed
rather than use it for pasture.
As .for alsike, the consensus of op-
inion is that the total acreage in On-
tario this year is about forty per :cent.
less than last year so that unless the
yield per acre is heavy there will like-
ly be much less alsike threshed than
even lastyear, when the total' yield.
