Zurich Herald, 1939-06-15, Page 2Fail To Rescue 99 Men Trapped In Sunken Submarine
° Lis composite photograph, made up of an artist's dra wing and an actual photograph of rescue vessels, gra-
phically illusteates the desperate, but vain, attempts of salvage crews to rescue the 99 men entombed in the
riunken British submarine, Thetis, which sank to the b ottom of the Irish Sea while on a trial run: .Four
ween aboard the ill-fated craft succeeded in escaping by using the Davis lung.

An old darky approached the

"Well, Rastus, what's wrong with
you?"
"Suh, Ah's got a floating kidney,
Ah has, sub."
"But, Rastus," replied the min-

things like that; I only pray for
upiritual things."
"You all can't pray for a. float-
ing kidney? Then how come you
ail prayed last Sunday for theeltioeee
livers?"

Schools Compete
At Exhibition
Every Province In Dominion
Will Have Entries By Schol-
ars In C. N. E. Competi-
tions This Year
That so-called "new Canadians"
are quick to take advantage of the
facilities provided by the Ontario
system of education is strikingly
reflected in the extraordinary num-
ber of foreign names in the more
than nineteen hundred entries al-
ready received in the school ex-
hibits and competitions at the Can-
adian National Exhibition this year.
Northern Ontari mining and ag-
ricultural areas will be represented
in a very large way. In the Kirk-
land flake district alone five
schools have, sent 800 entries and
there areemore to iollo'w. Entries
embrace writing, drawing, model-
ling in soap, clay and other mater-
ials, and all the wide variety of
work covered in the Exhibition's
educational section. Marked in-
crease in tl.a number of exhibits
from all parts of Canada has neces-
sitated shifting the location of the
educational a' 'on to the mezzan-
ine of the Automotive Building.
Every province in the Dominion
will have more o: less rt :: esenta-
tion in 'te school cTmpetitions this
year. Ontario representatives al-
ready have arrived from Sault Ste.
Marie, Picton, Amherstburg, Kitch-
ener, Owen Sound, Simcoe, Walk-
erton, Englehart, Brighton, Dry-
den,
ryden, Stayner and elsewhere.
Emaciation's
Out Of Fashion
Miss Katherine Krug, Wilson
College's dietitian, is not certain
whether "emaciation" has ceased
to be fashionable, but she does
know that girls under her care
"eat far more sensibly than they
used to."
Although there is no college
rule on the subject, Miss Krug
said, tie girls "attend meals re-
gularly ---even breakfast."
"The consumption of milk has
almost trebled in 10 years," she
said.

Selecting Ye ur
Child's Clothes
See That They Are Well Made
So They Will Stand Wear
and Washing
Children's clothes should be well
made. They get hard wear and fre-
quent trips to the tub, and if they
are to stand up under this and
at the same time be comfortable to
wear, seams and finishes should
be narrow, smooth and pliable, The
kind of construction is determined
by the particular garment, the ma-
terial and the kind of wear it will
be given, but, in general, thread
should always match the fabric in
strength and color. Stitching needs
to be close and properly adjusted
and reinforcements are a protection
for places likely to be strained.
Consider Likes And Dislikes
Parents should also bear in mind
that children begin to develop color
preferences and standards of taste
and quality very early. Some child-
ren are very sensitive to colors and
their likes and dislikes should. nev-
er be ignored or ridiculed. By let-
ting a child have what he enjoys,
SO far as it is possible, parents can
encorrage a wholesome pride in
appearance.

Farm Forum
Q,—Would you please tell fee
if it would do any good to put
hardwood ashes (sifted) on my
lawn, as the grass is rather poor
owing to sandy soil, also would it
do to put around dahlia roots'?---
iC.W,--York County,
A.—As to applying hardwood
Ashes to your lawn, this will mean
an application of Potash and Lime.
If you like a fair amount of Clo-
ver in your lawn, it will be quite
good, however, if the soil is slight-
ly acid which I surmise it might be
from your description, an appli-
cation of Hardwood. Ashes would
sweeten it up and make it a more
desirable Location for valuable
grasses and clover.
As to putting hardwood ashes
around dahlia bulbs, records show
that dahlias thrive in a slightly
acid to neutral soil. If your soil
is slightly acid, then the addition
of hardwood ashes will correct this
condition since they carry 30%
line. The potash in wood ashes
will help the formation of starch
in dahlia roots wheih is also de-
sirable.
Q.—Could you please tell me if
old sawdust is useful as a fertil-
izer? I have a large quantity of
it rotted and would use it on the
land if it would be of any value
to the Iand.—S.H.—Leeds County.
A.—In reply to your inquiry of
the 12th instant, which has been
unfortunately mislaid until now,
1 wish to say that sawdust is not
Looked upon as a very high grade
fertilizer. I have one analysis of
it which shows a content of about
.1% Nitrogen, .2% Phosphoric
Acid, .4% Potash,. This is how it
compares with Oat Straw, the lat-
ter is 6.2% Nitrogen, .2% Phos-
phoric Acid and 1.04% Potash. I
presume that a light dressing of
this material on a heavy soil would
tend to open the soil up. On light
soil it would tend to bind the soil
together and give it body.
Sawdust does not rot very
quiekly, but applied in moderate
quantities would be of some bene-
fit to the soil.

Quick Change Police
A youth, summoned for riding
a bicycle past traffic lights in Lon-
don, England, told the Court he
was 16, so the case was sent' to
the Juvenile Court. There magis-
trates had to wait until the police
officer in the ease changed into
civilian clothes. By. that time the
youth could not be found, so the
policeman had to change back into .
uniform and go in search of him.
Eventually he turned up, and the
policeman having put on civilian
,clothes once more the ease went
on and the lad was fined 60c.
