The Come Back
"I wish," he said in exasperation,
"that some brainless idiot had pro-
posed to you before we were
married."
"He did," replied the wife calm-
ly, "and worse luck, I married
him'."
Winged Riches
"Riches," said the teacher, as he
was reading to his class, "take unto
themselves wings and fly away.
Nhat kind of riches does the writer
mean?"
Blank looks met his gaze.
"Surely someone can answer a
question like that, You, Brown,
what kind of riches did the writer
mean?"
Brown hesitated for a moment,
and then plunged. "Ostriches, sir."
Gravity
"What • comes down faster than
wood?'
"Stone."
"Faster than stone?"
"Iron."
"Faster than iron?"
"Stocks,"
Why?
He was a briefless lawyer, trying
his best to look busy and prosper-
ous, but it was a fatiguing process,
and at last he gave it up and went
out to the club, leaving a notice on
Me door:
"Back in an hour."
When he returned he was pained
to find someone had added a foot-
note:
"Whatever for?"
Better Still
Blake: Don't you think it a good
idea to rate all cars according to
their horsepower?
Drake: Not as good as rating all
drivers according to their horse
sense.
Quite Agreeable
"It is not good for a man to keep
too much to himself," states a
psychologist. The income-tax au-
thorities are said to share this view.
Unforgettable
Friend: "You will soon forget
her and be happy again."
Jilted Suitor: "Oh, no, I shan't!
I've bought too much for her on
the instalment system!"
Voice of Experience
"Dorothy," said the junior high
teacher, "just how would you de-
scribe a needle?"
"Well," replied the teen-ager, "It
is a bright, shining sewing tool
used around the world. It has a
butt, shank, slot, latch, rivet, eye,
throat and hook."
"Mercy, where did you learn all
that?" gasped the teacher.
"I worked in a needle factory
• last summer," said the bobby-
soxer, .
Self -Appreciation
The girl was outeeitb an Amer-
ican soldier. "So you really think
I'm the most adorable girl you ever
knew?" she cooed.
"Uh-huh."
"Do you think I'm the most at-
tractive girl you have ever seen?"
"Uh-huh. "
"You do say the most marvellous
things, darting! Do please go on."
The Plea
"Baby 1% years requires house,
flat or rooms unfurnished for him-
self and parents, both ex -service.
At present seeing them week ends
ohly. Only those who were babies
once themselves need write."
Only Two
Charley was found by his fore-
man to he smoking near 'a dyna-
mite dump.
"Whatever are you doing?" cried
the foreman. "Don't you know that
the last time a man smoked here
he blew up twelve people?"
"Yes, but that catet happen
here." answered the smoker.
"Why?" asked the foreman.
"Because there's only you and
me," said Charley.
Take Your Time
One evening in the "local" the
village "strong man." got into a hot
argument with a friend and wound
up by calling him a liar.
The other man naturally resent-
ed the remark.
"Look here," he said, drawing
himself up to his full five feet, "I'll
give you. just five minutes to take
that back."
"IIo!" said the big man. "And
suppose I don't!"
"Then." said .the other, after a
slight pause, "I'll extend the time
limit."

Know Your Jiockey Stars
By ED. FITKIN
Young Jim Thomson, who was
not born when Dit Clapper made
his debut in the N,H,L., is coax'
sidered one of

young defense.
prospects in
profession -
al hockey. The
Leaf manage-
m e n t thought
so highly of
him that, with-
out benefit of
minor league
experience, they
retained him as one of the six de-
fence men who started last season
with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
* * *
Despite Thomson's lack of ex-
perience, Happy Day paired him
with Babe Pratt early last season
and young Jim, while no sensation,
handled himself fairly well. It was
a tough assignment for the young-
ster and after his first game he
said: "I never thought there could
be such a difference between major
and pro hockey. When I was play-
ing amateur I knew exactly what
I was doing at all times but up
here in the majors the opposition
is stronger and faster andthey
know" more what they are doing
than I do."

That, of course,;,might be the re-
action of any 18 -year-old kid crash-
ing into a postwar N.H.L. with
most of the prewar stars back in.
action. Thomson played in a few
games for the Leaf's, but was later
sent to Pittsburgh for seasoning.
There, after a poor start, he fin-
ished the campaign as outstanding
star. '
This season, and he's not 20 un-
til Feb. 23, 1947, Jim is giving in-
dications that he is picking up the.
experence he needs to 'mould him`
Into a star. He may need more
seasoning in the minors—but he's
one young man to watch.

Happy Day considers Thomson
on a par with, if not better than,
Red Horner when the' rock -'em
Jim Thomson
Defense
sock -'em redhead first broke into
professional hockey. Horner was
a fast breaker, though not a flashy
skater, could pass as well as any
centre in the league, packed a ter-
rific body check but had a very
poor shot. In comparison, young
Thomson does not break as quickly
as Red did, nor has he faculty of
bodying a man as hard as Horner.
The present day rules and style
of' play make bodychecking equally
difficult but Jim is a much stronger
skater than Horner and has that
extra burst of speed which great
stars seem to possess. He has a
hard and accurate right-hand shot
and can pass accurately. He plays
for keeps but checks fairly hard
and seldom is penalized because his
moves are made right out in the
open.

Young Jim was born at Winni-
peg on Feb. 28, 1927; he is an inch
shy of the six foot mark and weighs
175 lbs. He started his hockey
career with Winnipeg Excelsiors in
the Manitoba Bantam • league in
1941-42 and played for the same
team when they moved up to mid-
get hockey the next year. Scout
Squib Walker selected him as a fu-
ture Leaf player. Jim came to To-
ronto and played the 1943-44 season
with Marlboro Juniors. When Marl-
boros were eliminated, St. Michael's
College added Thomson to their
team as a wartime replacement, and '
later when Trail's inexperienced
team was riddled by injuries in the
Memorial Cup Finals, Thomson
was permitted to play for them.
Young Jim was a standout star
with the St. Michael's team when
they won the Memorial Cup in
1944-45. He played through the
Eastern finals and the Dominion
championship series with a broken
nose but this did not slow him
down in any respect and it was his
fighting display under such a han-
dicap that proved to the Leaf
management they had an outstand-
ing young star in 'the fold.

The latest aircraft put into ser-

of luxury in modern air travel. In
addition to the main cabin with its
deep seats (convertible into bunks),
there• are promenade lounges pro-

of blue and fawn grey and the
walls are lined throughout with
plastic leather cloth, Ceiling lights,

"off" switches are reinforced by
individual lamps mounted on the
back of each seat. The seats all
facing forward have hinged flaps
which let down to form a table

Jews " A, ccepted"
In Great ritain
For generations Jews in Britain
have possessed the rights and Pri-
vilege of .citizenship in larger plea-
sure than in any other country in
the world, says the London Times. •
The offices and honors of the
State are open 'to them as freely
as to any others; they are excluded'
from no profession or industry; if
they are wronged they can appeal
with confidence to the even hand-
ed justice of the coarts of law, Not
only that, but Jews who have suf-
fered'from persecution and Iv nanny
in other lands have, over ti lung
period, found security in Britain.
It is unlikely that more than a
small , minority of them have any
'sympathy with the evil deeds coin
milted by ntenthers .of their race
in Palestine.

Filling the Lamps
ar er's Home
How clear and shining are the
chimneys of lanmps ranged on a
kitchen mantel shelf can be taken
as a glistening gauge of .farm.
housekeeping. On farms to which
electricity has not yet . brought its,
bright beneficence there is always
a day set'aside for the simple but•'
rather fussy ceremony of "filling
the lamps". The filling process coeh.
vers more than appears in the verb.
It' means also a trimming of ,wicks,
with "sometimes one or more to be
replaced,, and it includes a washing
of chimneys in 'hot suds and a pol-
ishing of them inside and out,
usually with,old newspapers. Then
the lamps—which themselves have
been rubbed or. perhaps washed—
go back on the shelf, td be carried
that night to ' rooms from which
they have been ' collected.
Despite the spread of rural elec-
trification, there, are still plenty of
farms where• oil lamps serve long
hours on ' Winter niglits'and morn-
ings, and in Summer make lures
for meth and, mosquito.' Statisti-
cians report that daring 1946 there
were more than five thou-
sand More ,farms."connected up".
But even with this good-sized in-
crease in wires and bulbs there re-
main many thousands of farms •
where "filling the lamps" is a chore
to be accomplished each week. And
this filling; of course, counts a
couple of barn lanterns.
The kerosene lamp,, particularly
in its larger sizes, is now rank-
ing as en antique in a fastmoving
age when "antiques" grow to com-
mercial maturity with astounding
rapidity. But in many country
homes tonight a warm, yellow glow
from such lamps shines out,
through polished chimneys across
'near -by snowbanks and a well
shovelled path to the baxn. .
