Several of his gardener friends, after admiring the fruit, advised him to send an exhibit to the local horticul- iC'ural show. After considering the Illµatter, he took the advice of his friends and sent a fine plate of the currants. On judging being completed and the awards announced, the entrant was greatly disappointed to know that his red currants ;clad only secured third prize. He found out afterwards that a n1is- teake had been made. They had been placed in the tomato class. -0- First African Woman. "So your husband has left you again?" Second African Woman: ""Yes.

"Just fancy, William," said the father, pointing around him, "at one time these fields were cover- ed by the sea, and fish were swimming about on the very spot where we stand."

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. When on vacation at a re- sort hotel, is it all right to speak to the persons who eat regularly at your table? - 2. What salutation should one use in a formal social letter? 3. Is it customary to serve cream with after-dinner coffee? 4. When playing cards for a worthwhile prize, and one's part- ner makes an inexcusable blund- er, isn't one justified in showing a certain amount of irritability? 5. When a guest is refusing a certain dish that is passed, isn't it rude for this guest to say, "Beans (or whatever it is) do not agree with me"? 6. Is "Bye-bye" an acceptable form of taking leave? Answers 1. Yes, by all means do so. Your vacation will not be nearly as enjoyable if you do not. 2. "M,: bear Mrs. Watson," or, "My dear Mr. Young." This is more formal than "Dear Mrs. Watson," and "Dear Mr. Young." 3. It is not customary to do so. 4. Never. A good sportsman is always sea - possessed and patient. 5. Yes, it is both rude and unnecessary. In fact, the guest should take of small portion. 6. "Good-bye" is preferable. Checkers in Braille Mr. F.

Electric Manure Some plants, like rice and clov- er, obtain their nitrogen from the air, mainly through lightning. This has made soil experts experi- ment with electric fertilization. They are trying now to multiply the nitrogen content in the soil and stimulate the growth of bac- teria by applying. high-tension el- ectric currents to their fields. Previous tests with water having a small nitrate content increased it by 800 per cent. In the fertil- iznig experiments now in progress, a small plough is used to turn the soil, and the ordinary voltages used are stepped up to 15,000 volts. It is hoped that in time electric fertilization will eliminate expensive and tedious manuring. .0-11.1aw4.-4--+-641.4fr ..a..a-r-0w•>+ar••a-+-�. IHEALTH TOPICS CAUSE OF INSOMNIA It would seem that the matter of sleep and relaxation is now the subject of much thought and con- versation because, during the last few years and at present, more and more individuals are finding it dif- ficult to get "sufficient" sleep. A study of the sleep habits of 50 women 'who had recovered from slight mental or behavior disturb- ances and who did not complain of insomnia, were observed for three months in an observation hospital and reported by Dr. Louis J. I{ar- nosh, Cleveland, in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The period of sleep varied from 61,t to 8 hours. Age, temperament and diet did not seem to influence the amount or degree of sleep. "On. the other hand, excitement due to visits by relatives, argu- ments or disagreements with other patients or atendants, and holidays with the emotion or excitement that occurs at these times, were de- finitely to blame for breaking the regular rhythms of sleep." Mentality "Can't Take It" This shows that it is the ner- vous or mental side of us that just "can't take it," blows or disturbanc- es and not so much the physical disturbances that prevent us from sleeping, What Is the best method of bringing on sleep? A good bed, it quiet room, and muscular relaxa- tion - keeping arms and legs in a half -bent position -- are most im- portant. How Can 1? EY ANNE ASHLEY Q.

Canada Exceeds Tobacco Records production of 5 -pounds. For the third successive year, Canadian tobacco production in 1939 exceeded all previous rec- ords. The revised estimate of 109,846,000 pounds was greater than the 101,394,600 pounds in 1938 by 8,451,400 pounds, or eight per cent, and was more than double the five-year (1933-37) average 51,463,800 pounds. .441.4- A *41', -M - 0i -:t 4-4,* •+,'! ,0-41 {0.4.4 4.4-40.

IODINE FOR CHILDBIRTH A discovery that iodine makes human motherhood easier is report- ed. eported. Small quantities of iodine were given to expectant mothers at the University of Oregon medical school. Some remarkable results were achieved.

There were fewer abnormalities of labor during birth, All 89 employes still with the League of Nations before June 80 were notified by Secretary General Joseph Avenol that they must resign. Officials reported he accepted all resignations except "two or three" pending the out- come of the ivar.
