RUTHLESS DECEIVER
"Dear Ann Hirst: I am 16, and
for six months I've gone with
a young man 22. He told ane he
loved me, and that he had been
divorced; I didn't question it,
because I love him, too.
"Now I find out he was never
divorced; he says he can't mar -
,'y me because he cannot get free.
"Several tines before this he
has' not told me the truth, and
I've found out he has always said
it would never happen again.
* w*
The least any decent boy can
offer a girl is sincerity. How
can you possibly trust anyone
who has lied to you time and
again? He may be charming
and lovable, but if he is not
truthful, he can only bring you
anxiety and unhappiness Send
him 'off:.
You will love again, never
fear. Next time, though, 1 hope
you will not give your heart
away until you are sure the lad
deserves it. If you had listened
to your brother's warning, you
would have been spared all this
sorrow.
When trouble comes, turn to
Anne Hirst. She is safe to con-
fide in, and will advise you wise-
ly and with sympathy. Write her

Outstanding Woman
Of This Century
Who is the most outstanding
woman of our twentieth century':
Many would say Helen Keller
the deaf and blind American
authoress and lecturer. who will
be seventy-three in June. This
greyhaired, blue-eyed woman
who learns what her .friends are
saying by putting her fingers on
their lips, radiates happiness and
declares: "I am prepared for a
cheerful old age."
• Mark Twain said that site and
Napoleon were the most femme
personalities of the nineteenti,
centum•. She has raised, since
then. a fund of a million dollar:
for the American blind. When
she was a small girl, she Learned
Latin, French and German, ilea
indomitable will power has en-
abled her to overcome her en-
ormous physical handicaps.
She has given us this piece r:tr
advice: "Use your eyes as if to-
morrow you would be structs
blind." When she was introduced
to Einstein in New York—she has
met most of the world's great
risen and women—Helen Keller
touched his head.
"How vividly 1 recall hie sym-
pathetic handclasp, his reserved
almost shy manner . , she said
afterwards.
She put hot iirlr;er.; on C'aeu-
so's lips when they met for the
first time and he "pc,ured hic gol-
den voice" into her 'rand.

G teredollgee P Ciot:4e
There air often people on
farms who are tired -- very
tired, That isn't news -- we ex-
pect it to happen and we get
used to it. But. when animals get
tired that is something else
again. And our animals are very
tired. The pasture is so wet, the
yard nothing but mud and the
poor cows wander around all
day, munching half-heartedly
here and there, looking for a dry
spot some piece where they can
lie down and chew their cud
in peace and comfort. But there
are no dry spots: so the cows
keep wandering. At milking
time, just as soon as they get in-
to the stable, they flop down in
their stalls with a sigh of re-
lief. And of course they are very
dirty, their banks and udders
need a lot of washing before
the cows are fit to be 'milked. At
this time of the year. after this
evening milking, the cows are
usually turned out to pasture
again, the gaps closed, and there
they remain until early morn-
ing. But this spring Partner
leaves the gap -open. In the morn-
ing he finds all the cows in the
barnyard where it is compara-
tively dry and sheltered. Of
course this arrangement, and the
tiredness of the cows, is all due
to the excessive wet weather w."
have had now for several weeks.
Each day we look at the 1• ed and
think it couldn't: get any wetter,
short of a Hood •— and then it
rains again. Even the • cats are
tired. Black ,Toe and Mitchie-
While are used to hunting in the
fields for nice but no self-res-
pecting cat enjoys getting his or
her .feet wet, so the cats stay
home where they are sure o'f a
bed and board without discom-
fort. What the mice are doing we
have no way of knowing -- prob-
ably drowned in their burrows.
One species of livestock, how-
ever, seems quite content and
that is the common housefly. Ap-
parently they say to themsehree
-- why should we worry about
the 'weather•, there is plenty of
good picking around the house.
So they watch then' opportunity
and every time a door is opened
another.' hundred or so come in.
I get theta killed off but almost
before they are swept up rein-
forcements arrive. As tor the

work at for an hour of two be-
tween showers if it is possible.
but some of the bedding plants
haven't been put out yet. Part-
ner dug up a small border at the
back of the house for my gera-
aluuns .. but the geraniums are
still in heft pots. And so it goes

May it so continue.
Now here is something 1 have
been cleaning to pass along• for
some weeks --- just for. folk Who
are interested in first slid for ''fe-
lint's. Mitchie-White, over to
rnc,nth ago, got into an ergtintent
with visiting eat, who left
Mitchie with a flesh -wound on
the back of his neck about, as
big as a quarter. It would have
healed quite easily except that
every- time a scab formed
Mitchie: promptly scratched it off
again, leaving the place raw and
f bleeding. This went on for three
or four weeks. I was at a loss to
know what to do, Ointment's and
dusting powder helped the •;place
to heal, but the healing was trot'
sufficient to withstand the
scratching of vicious- claws -.e
and a rat's head and aleck ewe

carcerating the cat. I am sure
N.fitehie would have strangled
himself in the bandage. But one
day I hit on a -wonderful solu-
tion. Instead of bandaging
Mitchie's head I bandaged his
foot! Yes, indeed. I wound good,
strong, sugar -sack cotton around
his foot, and then adhesive tape
around the cotton to keep it on
— and it really worked, in two
ways. Mitchie was so busy trying
to chew the bandage off his :foot
he forgot about his head most of
the ti.me and when he remetn•-
bered he found there was no-
thing to scratch with. Naturally
the unsightly sore spot soon be-
gan to heal. Now the tur has
started, to grow; the foot has
been released from its bandage
--- after being re -bandaged a
couple of tinges Mitchie had suc-
ceeded in pulling it off with his
teeth. Now we have a happy,
respectable looking cat once
more. Then, just to keep in prac-
tice, I had to do a little Fust aid
on myself..First 1 jammed a fin-
ger in the furnace door. then,
while cleaning windows, 1 fell
backwards off the .step -ladder
The resulting injuries were in-
convenient but not serious.
Before this gets into print the
Coronation will be over. You
may have noticed I have said
very little about it in this col-
umn. Not through lack of in-
terest but because so much has
been said by so many, what was
there left to say? Probably
never in the history of the British
people has a new monarch been
so acclaimed, and, in the case
of Elizabeth II., never has praise
been so well deserved. So now,
we can only say in all sincerity
"God Bless Elizabeth . . long
live OUR QUEEN."
One of the queerest strikes
occurred in Austria when, dur-
ing a religious pageant, a bishop
had arranged to wash, ceremoni-
ously, the feet of twelve aged
men. It was an annual affair, and
the same twelve had been select-
ed for years. Suddenly, in the
middle of the ceremony, they
refused to allow their feet to
be washed if higher pay was not
given; and the organizers were
so scared that the shave* would
be spoilt that they agreed!

Tough Use For Nylon
Even the heavy, rusty ehaiti

ing your car towed are going
dainty for .lady motorists! Now
they're niakipg a tow :rope of
nylon.
13ut don't think. airy ui tb.ca
ruggedness needed to putt a car
out of the ditch is being sacri-
ficed.. This same versatile fibre,
which shows up in sheer, soft
lingerie leas been webbed into s
band which supports eight thou-
sand pounds. And it's barely an
inch and three quarters wide and
less than an eighth of an inch
thick.
The manufacturers of this so•
called tow "rope:' have it all
neatly rolled up in a compact
box. The band is 16 feet long and
has a metal fixture at each end
so it can be attached easily. The
makers say it sells for about the
price of being towed twice
Incidentally, there's another
recent application of nylon.
You'll see it turning up soon tiro
an open mesh in uppers o'f tennis
shoes.
A tennis shoe manufacturing
firm has started putting them on
the market. It says the shoes will
provide plenty of ventilation for
feet scrambling after a smack,
to the far corner of the court.
The shoes are white, of course:,
and in oxford style.
Why are they using nylon foi
this webbing job? Well,. the firm
says that because. nylon is tough-
er than' other fibres, it allows r,
more open mesh — and thus
greater ventilation — without
sacrificing strength.
