"Well, it's about time you got
here," snorted Susie, ar I came to
a stop at her front veranda,
"I had to pump up the tire on
my bike," I shot back, "Are you
kids all set? I've got the wciners
and the buns."
Susie, Gwen and
Don got ftp off the
step and proceeded
to tie the bags
containing t h c
lunch to their
bikes.
"Do you think
it will rain?" ask-
ed Gwen. "It's
getting a little
dark in the west"
"Nah," I replied, "I can tell by
the clubnulus, or whatever it is."
"Jost what arc You trying to give
us now?" scoffed Susie.
"An air force guy told me all
about it. You can tell the weather
by watching for the cold fronts.
I think. No rain today, kids. Take
it from an old weather prophet"
"Huh and pooh and huh, chor-
used three voices.
We started out north of town
with everyone convinced there
would be no rain. It was a beauti-
ful day. One of those cool fall days
—that make you feel glad to be
Alive, The bright sun brought out
all the autumn hues of the .turning
leaves, and the brown stubble in
the fields beside us looked lonely
and forgotten,
"Let's go up to the 7th, along to
the Brock Road and down to the
4th," I suggested, "We can Book
supper over an open fire in the
bush; and I know just the spot."
Everyone seemed satisfied With
this idea and we rode gayly along,
singing and talking. Three miles
north, my back tire went Clown and
I slowly bumped to a stop.
"It's beyond me how you do it,"
groaned Susie. "If anyone can
louse up a plan, it's you."
"Now dont get your braids tan-
gled," I cracked. "It's only a
valve."
"Look's like a hole in the tube,"
offered lion. It was. And there
We were.
We hailed a kind-hearted motor-
ist and hoped that he would have
some patching equipment, To our
surprise he did have. We soon had
the tire fixed and were on our
way.
Four miles and eight conces-
sions later, Susie was chinning the
handlebars from exhaustion. Gwen
groaned with every push of the
pedal, while I tried to cheer them
on. And lite with calluses on illy
-calluses.
We reached the bush at last A
path winding off the roadway to
the right led into the heart of the
tall green trees. Digging a ]tole In
the ground in a nice clearing, we
soon had a crackling fire going.
Gwen and Susie sprawled out on
the grouted, weary and sore.
"Reminds me of my boy scout
days, Dou, If We had time, I'd
start this fire with just two sticks
of wood."
"We have to get home tonight,"
moaned Susie. "Make with the heat
and get those hot dogs roasted,"
"There's a woman for you; Don,
They don't get the feeling of the
woods like us men. No sense of
pioneering, no feeling of being
alone in the bush to survive or
die and only your bare hands to
trovide. They siont it just like at
.loin(•. Screed up 011 11 plata—"
"Oh, for goodness sake, shut up
Ind get those hot slogs on," inter-
'Itptcd Susie again.
In a few minutes, the smell of
lot dogs, mustard and roasted ap-
ples permeated the air.
"My gosh, it's starting to sprin-
ole,"'warned Gwen,
In a platter of minutes, a wild
and windy 111nndcrstornl broke all
around us. Running through the
Sports — And One Thing
or Another
By FRANK MANN HARRIS
("A Sixbit Critic")
Down in wartime Washington a
Couple of reporters, just as a gag,
cooked up a highly imaginary yarn
about the Emperor Hirohito having
made a hush-hush flying trip to
Allied headquarters for the purpose
o.' talking peace terms, They confided
this piece of "information" to just
one man, swearing him to secrecy.
Inside of six hours that identical
story, having taken wings to itself,
was back to Washington as an
authentic piece of "news" from the
Pacific Coast.
* * *
This was cited, by the newspaper
from which we copied it, as a start-
ling instance of the speed with which
gossip gets around in time of war.
But to anybody at all familiar with
the way rumors travel at a race-
track, it will seem comparatively
snail -like. We recall an afternoon at
Thorncliffe when a couple of guys,
for no good reason except that they
had nothing better to do, decided to
fabricate a red-hot "tip," start it on
its rounds, and then see what would
happen.
* * *
They selected a steed we'll call
RUMP ROAST—the very worst
horse in the race just coming up.
Getting together in a secluded por-
tion of the paddock, but taking care
there was a single bystander within
earshot, one of thein murmured con-
fidentially to the other, "I just got
word from the stable that this is
going to be a shoo-in for RUMP
ROAST-eve1'y jock in the race will
torrent of rain with what food we
could grab, each of us stood under
a tree.
"I'm soaked anti lay hair ]las
all come out," wailed Susie.
"I'ln cold, wet and I ache all
over," sobbed Gwen. -"Some week-
end this is."
Three pair of eyes from under
three different trees turned—and
the burning gaze of all three
stretched across to the tree under
which I was standing—with the
rain dripping down my neck from
the branches above.
"There now, smarty," sneered
Susie, in my direction, "my week-
end guests are sorry they cane,
and it's ail your fault."
"Stay here and I'll run down the
road to a farm house and phone
to town for a taxi," I offered.
"Forget it, we'll all go," said
Don. - "We can't get any more wet
than we are,"
So we started off, splashing our
way down the -muddy road. Pant
legs lost their creases, sweaters
turned color from red to pink and,
a we walked, each of us could feel
the water nosing out of our shoes.
Riding Moine in the taxi, I could
hear the muffled 'voices of the -
other three in the back seat. - I
think it was Don whc said: "well,
if he didn't know how toprophesy
the weather by looking at the sky,
why didn't he shut up?"
"You could ask that question
after a lot of things 11e says," an-
swered Susie. -
And so we finally arrived Home
after a bike hike and picnic in
the country.

didn't have five thousand cents to
bless himself with, let alone that
many dollars, and everybody knew
it.)
* * *
Having thus sown the good seed
the two conspirator's proceeded, in a
leisurely manner, through the
crowds. Before they had travelled
the length of the grandstand they
had received no less than seven
different tips on RUMP ROAST,
one good pal even dashing down
from the press box to let them in on
"the hottest thing of the meeting";
and the probable odds on that steed,
which had opened at a legitimate 50
to 1, now stood at 9 to 5.
* * M:
The sequel? Well, by the time they
reached the Club House lawn, news
of the coming "killing" had rcachcd
such proportions, aid bore so many
earmarks of authenticity, that it ap-
peared to be an opportunity too
golden to be overlooked. And you
needn't peg this as merely a flight
into the realms of fancy either,
seeing that we were one of the pair
that started this wild rumor—and
ended up by betting on our own
fabrication. As for RUMP ROAST

How Zero Point
Was Established
Why was the zero point on the
titet'mometer put where it is? About
240 years ago the inventor, Professor
Gabriel Fahrenheit of Germany,
wanted a fixed low point and fixed
liigll point for the scale. Forcing the
temperature of water below freezing
by mixing snow and salt in equal
parts, he thought he reached the low-
est temperature obtainable on earth
eo d called that low point zero. He
then established what he thought was
the highest weather temperature and
called that 100- Now we know he
was wrong oil both counts. Weather
falls far below zero in 111e Arctic and
rises far above 100 in the deserts.
in the laboratory, the coldest tem-
per. tore we now reach is 40 degrees
below Fahrenheit's zero, The centi-
grade scale, which is in common use
throughout the world, with the ex-
ception of this country and the Brit-
ish Empire, fixes zero at the point
at which water freezes and 100 de -
