A cannibal, walking through
the jungle with a pretty black
gill, was met by a missionary,
who wished him the time of day
and then asked: (`Aren't yeti
going to introduce me to the
lady?"
"That's no lady," replied the
cannibal, "That's my lunch,"

An enthusiastic gardener was
very proud of his crop of mon-
ster red currants. 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.

Father and son were enjoying
an afternoon in the country.
"Just fancy, William," said the
father, pointing around him, "at
one time these fields were cover-

swimming about on the very spot
where we stand."
"Yes, Dad," said little William,
suddenly stooping. "Look, here's

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. H. .Merrick, a blind
checkers player, has invented an
improved Braille notation to de-
scribe the moves of the checkers
in correspondence games. It has
been published by the British Na-

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.

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.

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)

X-ray motion pictures have be-

Developed by Westinghouse en-

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. The women report-
ed a greater sense of well-being
before the babies were born. 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.
