.'lie reason is that during the
summer months in oyster beds of
the United States, where, the say-
ing originated, the water tempera-
tures usually reach 70 degrees. At
this temperature the shell -fish

BOOK SHELF
By ELIZABETH EEDY
"THE LONG VALLEY"
By John Steinbeck
Known as one of the most rich-
ly promising of younger American
writers, John Steinbecic has hum-
or, deep understanding of human
nature, a true grasp of life. Here
in his first volume of short stor-
ies, "The Long Valley," you have
tales which demonstrate intimate,
delicious communion with the
Salinas Valley land of California
that nourishes Steinbeck's art, as
well as stories theatrically set in
mystic gardens and castles which
seem to have no rooted strength.
Hero are exquisite studies of
childhood, poetic and fresh, as
well as brutal accounts of mortal
struggles with Nature and merci-
lessly true descriptions of vio-
lence. Here are portraits of work -
ere and peasants and farm wives
with genuine vitality and truth
about them. You get the smell
and feel and sound of the stables,
the farmyard, the pigsty, the cor-
ral, the kitchen, the mountains,
the California skies and dews and
nights. It is a bewildering variety
of material.
Handsomely bound this volume
makes an ideal gift book for the
discriminating.

teinbeck; 303 pp; Toronto: Geo.

Modern
Etiquette
BY.ROBERTA LEE
1. What expenses should the
bridegroom assume?
2. When dining in a friend's
home should a guest take a help-
ing of each dish offered?
3. What is America's favorite
diversion, indoor and out?
4. Should a woman, when writ-
ing a social note to a man, use the
salutation, "Dear Sir"? -
6, At what hours are informal
calls made between intimate
friends?
6. Must one always leave a por-
tion of food on the plate after fin-
ishing a nieal?
Answers:
1. The bride's wedding ring,
marriage license, gloves, ties, and
boutonnieres for his attendants,
the minister's fee, transportation
for his family and his attendants
to the church, the honeymoon
trip; and from that time on —
everything. But don't be discour-
aged. The right kind of wife is
worth it. 2. Yes; it is the cour-
teous thing to do, even if one is
not fond of some certain dish,
And for a guest to refuse two or
three dishes is really rude and
unpardonable. 3. Dancing. 4, No.
"Dear Sir" is for business pur-
poses only. The informal saluta-
tion is "Dear Mr. Gibson," the
more formal salutation, "My dear
Mr. Gibson." 5, At any hour dur-
ing the afternoon or evening. A
considerate friend will not "drop
in" when she knows her neighbor
devotes the morning to her house-
work, G. No, it is not necessary.

Read the Rules and Rate Up
Yourself
Like handwriting, say the Preach
—different styles of typing denote
in their way different characteris-
tics. Whether, it is a wide margin
or a narrow one, pounding on the
keys or hitting some letters in' typ-
ing marks some particular trait
which can be interpreted it the dif-
ferent signs are understood,
A person who uses an overly
wide margin and especially a wide
margin for the beginning of a para-
graph is highly sensitive.
Not All Struck Alike
A very small margin off' no mar-
gin at P.l1 at the beginning of a
paragraph means the person is
lacking in good taste, is inclined to
bo miserly and overly frugal con-
cerning small things.
A letter which has been typed at
a continuous speed and the letters
are all struck with virtually the
same force indicates that the writer
is generally good in several fields,
but not necessarily specialized in
any.
The "pounder" who makes deep
imprints in the paper is easily dis-
tracted and is generally not a good
concentrated,
Those who type words whero the
letters are not all struck with an
equal force are sensitive and are
usually possessed of a great deal of
personality.
Fattening Poultry.,
Value Is Shown
Quality of Cockerels Improves
Through Crate Feeding It Is
Believed
A demonstration of improve-
ment in quality through crate fat-
tening of cockerels is being car-
ried out by officers of the Domin-
ion Department of Agriculture in
co-operation with the Brockville
Co-operative Egg and Poultry
Pool and with the Secretary of the
Canadian Produce Association. In
view of the fact that a great deal
of poor quality dressed poultry is
still coming on to the market, it
was felt that an actual demon-
stration carried out upon the
farms of representative producers
would br;%g home the fact of im-
proved grades through fattening
in a way which would appeal to
the producer of market birds.
The actual plan upon which the
demonstration is based consists in
selecting forty-eight healthy cock-
erels from the flock of each of
several poultrymen, banding them
and leaving one-half on range and
placing the other half in fattening
crates. After approximately three
weeks of fattening both fattened
and unfattened groups will be
killed, dressed and carefully
graded so as to indicate the im-
provement brought about through
crate feeding.
Shorn wool production in Can-
ada for 1938 is estimated at 13,-
384,000 pounds compared with an
estimate of 13,772,000 pounds in
1937.

CHRISTMAS TREE TRADE:
A growing industry in Canada
during recent years is the export
of Christmas trees to brighten
homes across the U. S. border.
Did you know that approximately
700,000 Ontario snruce, pine and
balsam trees will be exported to
the United States this Yuletide
season? That half a million more
are marked for Canadian homes?
That more than a thousan[i acres
of land in Ontario will be denuded
as a result?
Even then we are not tak-
ing into account the unauthor-
ized cutting of Christmas trees
done by individuals everywhere.
In one Ontario small town, two
years ago, we remember, some-
body chopped down the little trees
in the local cemetery and sold
them at a handsome price.

WHY TORTURE THE JEWS:
"Time", in its incisive foreign
comment section last week advanc-
ed the suggestion that the pog-
roms against Jews in Germany
are part of a gangster -blackmail
scheme cooked up by Nazis a while
back.
How it is supposed to work:
By holding the Jewish community
of Germany in a state of general
inability to earn a living wage,
Nazis hope to force the interna-
tional Jewish community to remit
to Germany huge enough sums in
"good money" to keep their Jew-
ish relatives in the Reich from
going too hungry or, cold. The
dollars, pounds, francs to be se-
cured by thus "shaking down the
whole Jewish race" are wanted to
pay for such vital imports as Ger-

DRAWING CLOSER: Through
the signing of the tri -lateral trade
agreement by Canada, Great Brit-
ain and the United States, the
three English-speaking countries
are drawn closer together than
ever before in their history. It is
more than a commercial agree-
ment—the pact lays the ground
for new understandings, future
co-oiieration for defense purposes,
by the three signatory nations.
A significant point to note is
that Canada is becoming more and
more involved in the American or-
bit, both in foreign policy and in
domestic matters, as the two con-
tinents of North and South Amer-
ica prepare to defend themselves
against the aggressions of Ger-

Vitamins heretofore merely pol-

Dr. Casimir Funk, of Paris, orig-

scientists last leek that latest re-
searches point to possibility that
tho normal body shows a distinct
balance between certain hormones
(gland products) and' vitamins se-
creted in bodily waste fluids.
By establishing what the normal
balance is, Funk said, medical men
may be able to determine when the
balance is upset, thereby discover-
ing the possibility of diseases like
diabetes and cancer in such early'
stages that they may be prevented.

Plowing Champion Settles Tractor Controversy
Carl Schoger, six -time national- plowing champion of the United
States, proved by actual test that a tractor runs better on rubber than
on steel. With Firestone Ground Grip Tires he has saved hundreds of
dollars in fuel costs alone,
Rubber Is Better
On Tractor Wheels
Tests Prove Saving of Hund-
dreds of Dollars If Mach-
ines Run On Firestone
Ground -Grip Tires Instead
of On Steel
Steel or rubber? For nearly seven
years—ever since the first rubber
shod tractor rolled across the fields
of the late Harvey S. Firestone's
farm, the relative merits of steel
and rubber as tractor tire equip-
ment have been subpects of divided
opinion. Which is more practical?
Which is faster? Which will do
more work on a gallon fuel, a trac-
tor on steel or a tractor on rubber?
Under the observation of an en-
gineer from a leading university
and of forty keen -eyed farmers who
gathered in a field of barley stub-
ble a few weeks ago, Carl Schoger,
six -time national plowing champion
of the United States, answered the
above questions, but with facts of
actual performance,
Tries It Out
From the fields of his neighbours,
plowman Schoger borrowed six
tractors, provided each with a set
of steel wheels, a set of Firestone
Ground Grip wheels, and an auxil-
iary fuel container of certified cap-
acity—accurate to the fraction of a
dram, Thus ,prepared, and with the
carburetor drained, Schoger opened
the lino from the certified fuel tank
and started across the field on the
steel wheels, pulling a gang plow
set at a depth of 6" to 7143". Upon
the attainment of lull travel speed,
a marker was dropped along tho
furrow and a split-second stop
watch started measuring time to
the hundredth part of a second. At
the end of thirty-six seconds, a
second marker was dropped. At the
end of a hundred seconds, a third
marker was dropped and the tractor
continued around the field until the
0®N lMy�s �tSMINN110UttY
STOPPED ►►Q�UICK1itt b
last drop of fuel was consumed and
the tractor sputtered and stopped
dead in its tracks, With this data
recorded, the tractor was returned
to the starting point. The steel
wheels were replaced with Fire-
stone Ground Grip Tire equipment
and the procedure was repeated.
The figures tabulated from these
tests furnished accurate compara-
tive information; 1st, on the num-
ber of yards covered in 36 seconds
by each tractor; 2nd, the number of
seconds required to cover the dis-
tance between the first and third
markers; 3rd, the number of min-
utes and seconds required to empty
the fuel tank at top plowing speeds,
All of these figures were used as a
basis for measuring the relative
performances of rubber and steel
in terms of time and fuel require-
ment8,
The results were startling. In-
creased fuel cost on'steel ran as
high as 42 per cent. Increased time
requirements on steel were.. even
greater, To plow a given area of
ground with one particular tractor
required 43 per cent. more time
than was necessary to do the same
job on Firestone Ground Grip Tires.
Big Saving on Fuel
On the basis of 20,000 miles of
service, the projected figures in the
fuel saving alone amounted to $552
on tractor A; $248 on tractor 13;
$472 on tractor C; $226 on tractor
D; $248 on tractor E; $470 on trac-
tor F. Added to these amazing
fuel savings shown by Firestone
Ground Grip Tires are the equally
important savings in plan power. In
a hundred days of operation, five
tractors equipped with Ground Grip
Tires would do more work than six
tractors plowing on steel wheels,
thus providing one extra man and
tractor for another job.

"Boy, that massage was swell."
Swollen with his own importance, Whitey swag-
gers about the place. His campaign includes lurid
posters that tell the boys they're "suckers" if they
don't vote for him, He goes to the barber shop one
day and orders Mo to give him a trim and a massage.
Mo has just been waiting for this golden opportu-
nity, Instead of using soap, he completely smears
Whitey's face with shoe -blacking.
"Ili -yah fellows. Do 1 get the chair?"
But when Whitey answers roll -call he suddenly
glimpses his face in a mirror. Racing back he catches
Mo off guard and wallops him in the eye. This is a
serious offense at Boys Town. Whitey is immediately
called up before the Council at which Father Flan-
agan sits in. Then quite gravely, the boys pro-
nounce sentence. Whitey is to go to the barns and
milk one cow a day for the coming month.
"You're sure you earned it today?"
Father Flanagan is really worrtea about Whitey.
Ile had hoped that by this time the young tonghtc
would have softened up a bit. He decides to talk
the matter over with Pee -wee. After asking for "a
tiny bits a candy," Pee -wee gives his opinion. There
just aren't any bad boys. The other fellas don't
understand Whitey, Tenderly, Father Flanagan"
sends the little fellow out to play.
"Fair and square in the gyne, Whitey."
The days pass and Whitey's campaign gets louder
and brassier all the time, Father Flanagan notices
his run-ins with the other boys. He decides that
Whitey is spoiling for a fight. Taking him aside one
clay he points out Freddie Fuller (Frankie Thomas)
present Mayor of Boys Town, and Whitey's pet hate,
If Whitey likes he can challenge him. Be sure to
read the next thrilling episode.

Referring to the Equalization, Mr.
Leiper said that it was eleven years
since the County was last equalized.
The same Equalization will prevail
next year. An Equalization only
stands good for five years, but if Coun-
ty Council desires it can carry on for
five years more. After that it must
be brought up every year. A vote was
taken previous to the hiring of Messrs.
Mogg and Quinlan and all had voted
for it but three. The cost of the pres-
ent Equalization will be $ 7010.00.
\Ir. [Alper closed his speech by say-
ing that ho would again be in the field
for the Reeveship, and hoped that the
ratepayers Would see fit to elect him
for another term.
Following \1r. Leiper'^ speech, ,Mr,
Ira Rapson, another nominee for the
Reeveship, was called to the platform.
Mr. Rapson thanked his mover and
seconder for the honor bestowed upon
him, and voiced his intention of run-
ning for the Reeveship. "i am a sem
for member of the council", Mr. Rap-
son said, "and feel that the time has
come for me to step up." If the elect-
ors saw fit to elect him, he would al-
ways have the best interests of the
Township and County uppermost in
his mind, and to that end would work
for their benefit. fie thought that the
way should be made open for younger
men to take their place in Mnnicipal
Affairs. Mr. Rapson gave a clear ac-
count of P '-:enditures in his Division.
Considerable trouble had arisen In try-
ing to find a gravel pit with suitable
grn"l. but he believed the problem
had at last been solved. 1f ho was
elected there was several things that
he would like to see done. Mr. Rapson
closed by wishing all the compliments•
of the season.
\1 r. Peckitt, a present councillor
was then called to the platform and
I ;•oke briefly, giving an account of ex-
penditures in the block allotted to him.
He thought there was no need going
into detail as everyone had full reports
before them. Ile intended to stand an
councillor for another year.
Mr. Snell then spoke briefly, saying

that sone $1,000 was spent in his dis-
trict. Ho thanked ratepayers for
their support in the past, and would
run for council again.
, Mr. Ferguson also said that he would
let 11111 name stand for another year.
Not much money had been spent in
his division this year. 'Roads were all
in pretty good shape and the grader
had not been needed.
The third noniinee for the Reeveship
was then called to the platform. This
gentlontan, an old -linter in the battles
of Municipal affairs endeavored to
stir things up a little, and was success-
ful to no small degree. Woe refer of
course, to Mr. Matthew Armstrong.
After removing his overcoat, Mr. Arm-
strong entered into quite a lengthy
criticism, of affairs as meted out by
the present County Council. "Godo•
rich Sky Harbour," he said, "should
not have been taken over by Council
on such short notice. It could at
least have been laid over until anoth-
er session, giving time for considera-
tion of the matter." He criticized
strongly, action of County Council in
hiring the present Equalizers. He said
that the whole thing had been done in
the dieing minutes of the Council
Meeting. "Surely," lie said, "Capable
men could •have been found within the
County who would have done just as
well, and with far less expense. Ile
carried those present back to 1926
when the last Equalization was made
by splendid men from our own County,
and the job was done in six months at
a cost much below that of the present
Equalization. He stated how the
County 'tato had been lowered very
little since the good days after the
War. "You taxpayers are struggling
along trying to pay your taxes, while
those on the .Council live on the fat of
the land," he said. He stated that he
had hoped that Mr. David Cantelori
and Nelson Trowartha would he pres-
ent at the meeting, but apparently
they could not be present. Mr, Arm-
strong's remarks drew questions from
the audience, and he tried to explain
several matters. Finally he said that
be wostd not be in the field this year,
and after thanking his mover and sec-
onder, sat down.
Mr. George Brown, the new member
of next year's council, was called on.
Mr. Brown thanked those who had
nominated him. He said he had no
account to give and closed by sa'inlf

that he would protably let his name
go on the board.
Following 'Mr. Brown's address, Mr.
Leiper was given a chance to defend
himself, in a reply speech. Mr. Leiper
then took --Mr. Armstrong to task for
many of the things he had tried to ex-
plain. Enthusiasm waxed warm for
a time with both speakers on the floor
at the same time. Mr. Leiper finally
got his point driven home, and Mr.
Armstrong again took the floor. Many
,of those present entered into the dis-
cussion, and all in all, the meeting was
pretty lively for awhile. With the
afternoon well on it's way, the meeting
was finally brought to a close.
JUDGING AT ROYAL
NO EASY TASK.
Mr. Orville McGowan, East Wawa -
nosh farmer, and a very successful
sheep raiser, who was called to
Toronto to act in rue capacity of judge
of Dorset and Shropshire sheep, stated
to us the other *day that judging at the
Winter Fair was no easy job. "It is
some job picking out the best when
you have sixteen or so in a class to
pick from", said •Mr. McGowan. We
can imagine that it would be, especial-
ly at such a Fair as the Royal Winter
is, where al entries aro of a very fine
type.
"Tho Royal Whiter Fair," said Mr,
(McGowan, "was one of the best I have
ever seen. The Flower Show was
wonderful. The live stock parade of
the different Provinces Is very inter-
esting to watch, and the horse show
at night is a great thing to see. Tho
hurdle horses present some fine
amusement. It Is wonderful to NO
the way they handle rho six horse
teams and to see the way the horses
keep time to the music in the musical
parade.
"The Dorset sheep show was one of
the largest ever shown at The Royal."
Mr. McGowan had a very successful
year in competition at local fairs. Al-
together he won 121 Firsts, 97 Seconds
and 21 Thirds, besides several Spec-
ial Prizes.

"The Leashed Guns
of Circle L"
by Perry Westbrook
•••-•-•-••••-•-•-•:=--r -
Synopsis
Slim Loyale is paroled from
prison after serving 18 months
for a crime he did not commit.
He returns to his Circle L ranch
to find his father dead and sinis-
ter forces at work, trying to make
him violate his parole so that he
can again be railroaded to prison.
The Brockwells and their gang
are plotting to gain possession of
Circle L ranch and the property
of Mona Hall, a neighbor and
life-long friend of Slim Loyale.
Slim discovers that Sheriff
Starbuck has joined the plot
against him. With the help of Da-
kota Blue and his cowboys, Slim
Loyale defies the land -grabbers to
do their worst,
"Wo won't talk about that any
more," he drawled. "One thing is
plumb certain, though; yuh ain't
ever gonna lose yore ranch,
Whether yuh like it or not, Mona,
I shore won't stand for some slick
jasper like George Arthur fore-
closin' on yuh. That's final. Now
cheer up; let's be happy for a
change." He gave her a comfort-
ing pat on the arm,
Good to be Back
Strangely enough, they did fall
into channels of easy range gos-
sip. There was much that had
happened while Slim had been
away. Folks had died; others had
married; babies had been ushered
into the world—just homely gos-
sip that did a lot for them both
in easing theta and cheering them
up. When Slim squeezed Mona's
hand and left, some two hours
later, he was humming happily to
himself. It was good to be back
again.
As Sling Loyale headed home-
ward through the velvet night, he
had already made up his mind as
to how he would ward off the
cloud that was hanging over Mona
Hall's head. The first thing on the
following morning, he promised
himself, he would ride into Pinna-
cle and hunt up George Arthur.
Then he would buy up the mort-
gage on the Dot H Dot if it cost
him a thousand dollars more than
the amount of the note. He'd say
nothing to Mona about it. When
she finally did learn what had hap-
pened, there would be nothing she
could do. Sling grinned to himself.
He knew Mona would be as mad
as hops, but she'd get over it.
A couple of miles drifted back
under the steadily thrumming
hoofs of his bronco. He was still
engrossed with thoughts and plans
concerning Mona, when, out of no-
where it,seemed, a mounted figure
rose before him in the trail. Slim
jerked erect, wary and suspicious.
Unconsciously he reached to his
thigh, only to realize that he had
left his guns at home,
"Pull clown, Sling," came a hus-
ky undertone. "Shore an' there's
dirty work abroad tonight. Not
another step unless yuh'lI be after
wantin' a coward slug in the ribs."
"Roy!" exclaimed Loyale. "Roy
O'Brien, what in blazes are yuh
ridin' around at this time of night
for?"
"Trail 'Em Home"
Roy swung his mount close be-
side Slim's. "Devil a bit do yuh
worry about the why an' where-
fore, lad," he answered, "I'm
swappin' hats an' broncs with yuh
now."
Without waiting for the amaz-
ed Slim's consent, Roy reached
over and swept off Slim's cream
sombrero, replacing it with his
own roll -brimmed black one. Then
he swung to the ground.
"Git off'n that gray boss of
yores," he ordered. ''Off 1 say,
an' scramble up on this bay o'
mine. Then do yuh turn north oft'
the trail a bit an' be after gain'
home in a roundabout way."
Still be'.vildered, Sling slid to the
ground, but he did not relax his
grip on the reins of his grey geld-
ing. "What's the ineanin' of all
this hoct:spocus, Roy:"' he insist-
ed. "Open up or 1 don't move a
step."
Roy swore softly. "I tell yuh
there be pole:ats an' dirty spal-
pecns ridin' tonight, lad, "1'is yuh
they are after. Unless yuh listen
to told Roy, you'll never get home
alive. But we'll he after foolin'
them.
"Do as 1 say. Go north to the
town trail an' then home. .I11

plenty of time. Then 1'Il start

They'll ]:now who i be 00' they
w'ea'l 12e after betilerin' me."
'Toil why eau't we both ride a
circle house?" demanders Sling.
' Ilecause of this divil of a light-
colored hogs an' hat of gores. Yuh
loom up like a lighthouse, lad. Do
1s yo're lo1d. Or floes old Roy have
to Intrscle ytili down au' make yuh?"
At last Slim was beginning to
realize "IIat leas up. Somewhere
along the home trail leen were hid-
den out, waiting to throw a slug

had found it out, and the faithful
Irishman was going to take Slim's
risk upon his own willing should-
ers, -
"Damu it all, Roy, I cain't let yult
do it," objected Slim huskily. "For
they'll plug yuh for lne, sure."
"Not if I sing loud enough," stat-
ed ]toy. "I sing like nothin' else in
the wide world, Besides I'Ve got my
guns, an' I can use 'em without any
worry about bnstin' no parole. Now
do as I say like a good lad. Y o're
wastin' time arguln',"
The irony of his position dug in
deep into Slim. It was maddening
to be placed always thus, on the
defensive with no way of fighting
back. His pride was quick and very
fierce, more so perhaps because of
the wrong which had been done to
hint by'the miscarriage of justice.
Blind Fury
Blind, primal fury pricked at his
brain. He slid not want to run. He
wanted to stand and fight, to rip
and tear, to porn' hot lead into the
vitals of those who were persecut-
ing him. Yet his hands were tied.
Once involved in a gunfight, regard-
less of whose making it alight be,
Slim knew that it would mean go-
ing back to that hell on earth.
It meant being closed between
drab, gray walls of stone, way from
the sky, from the warns stars, away
front everything worth while. Real-
ization of this steadied him, and
drove the fungus of rage from his
mind.
"Okay, Roy," he said, his voice
steady once more. "Some day mob -
be I'll be able to pay yuh boys back
for stiekin' with me like yo'rd
&M'."
Roy snorted. "'Tis nothin' at all
that we do, lad, exceptin' to be

now on out. Off with yultr"

BANISH THOSE WRINKLES!
Wrinkles are easy to acquire, but
overcoming them is not nearly so
simple, as many of us know to our
dismay! Prevention is infinitely a
lot better than cure, and early at-
tention to the face and neck will
be an insurance against wrinkles
later on.
Wrinkles are more often to be
found on dry skins than on oily
skins, and therefore the first re-
quisite is to lubricate the skin, and
the underlying tissues, using a
cream with a rich base.
This cream must be applied to
the surface of the skin with light
friction, using the finger's only. The
massage is important; keep the
tips of dig fingers flat on the skin,
and, usin„ both hands, smooth the
skin in the direction opposite to
which the wrinkles go. You must
NOT stretch the skin,
Here are hints for specific
wrinkles: on forehead, start in the
middle and work out towards the
temples. For the ayes, commence
the movement at the side nearest
the nose, and work your fingers
outwards and right around the top
of your eyes. Don't just massage
to the outer edge of the eyes, and
stop there, for that is where lines
are so apt to appear.

$10,000 Invested
In Bringing Up
Average Child
Total Includes Food, Clothing,
Shelter, Education, Intereest
On Capital—Cost of Moth-
er's Care Not Counted
Dr. John W, 8, McCullough of
the Department of Public Health,
asks "what is the value in dollars
and cents of human life." A new
born baby is worth $9,629, A man
of 18 years is worth $28,000. It
costs $10,000 to rear a baby to
the age of 18 years and .the sum
total of Canadian manhood and
womanhood has a monetary value
of about 140 billions as compared
with a material resource value for
the entire country of something
like 25 to 28 billions,
In order to secure a conserva-
tive estimate an average child
plight be considered as belonging
to a family whose income is $2,-
500.
To Age of 18
The cost of rearing a child in
such a family to the age of self-
support, including all the usual
items of food, clothing, shelter,
education, etc., is $7,238. Inctud-
ing the interest on capital and
making due allowance for the cost
of those that do not survive.to the
age of 18, the amount is increased
to a little more than $10,000. In
this suns no allowance is made for
the cost of a mother's care, no
shall iteral it is true, but one which
is omitted so that the estimate
shall be within the limits rather
than over what would be a con-
servative sum.
Returns On Investment?
This $10,000 may be called the
capital invested in the child's
bringing up. All capital is expect-
ed to bring returns. Unfortunate-
ly this happy result does not al-
ways follow,
Popularity of
Hoops Fashion
Now that Hoop Skirts Are Back
In Style Again, It Behooves
Us to Study Their Origin
The small bay or inlet in Old
Norse was a "hop" or the ancient
Greek "kyphos" meaning bent and
sloping, suggested that a strip of
wood or metal bent into circular
form be called a "Hoop." When
cane, cord, whalebone, or straw,
fastened together with tapes ap-
peared, to augment milady's hipline
in the 1Sth Century, however, the
French chuckled "poultry baskets,"
and "pallier," meaning a hamper or
poultry basket, because the accept-
ed term of fashion for hoops.
A dome -like structure made the
first hoop forms in the 1700's, but
as the century advanced, hoops, or
paniers, were flattened front and
back until a dressed hip pleasured
18 feet.
A Hard Time Walking
The enormous hoops created a
locomotion problem that was solv-
ed by walking sideways through
the narrow passages, by doubling
the flexible hoops together in the
front, or later, by folding the hing-
ed metal frame upward from the
hips.
Writers, preachers, orators de-
nounced the style, but it was the
theatres that accomplished what
moralists could not, and when the
actresses found the extravagant
mode incompatible with freedom of
movement, the hoop fell into dis-
use, except for Court occasions,

And showed him how to make a

She said, "Go learn the tune the

His dipper -fiddle up against his

That's why the river and the pine
trees speak
To people when he plays his vio-

Charm—the sincere, non -gushy,

Manners, after all, are the out-

tern Magic" by Anne Adams — a
dress and a housecoat easily macre
from the same Pattern! Need we
tell you that this silhouette is the
newest ever—a gathered top with
a sling -hipped gently flaring skirt?
The button -front panel is another
feature, as popular as it is slen-
derizing. Observe the charming
swirl of movement there is below
the knees in the house coat ver-
sion. And consider whether to

flannel for a cold -weather style
with short sleeves. The frock has
youthful chic in any fabric!
Pattern 4960 is available in

CANADIAN FISH SOUFFLE
PUFFS UP WITH PRIDE
And So Does the Clever Hostess
Who Serves It
1Iany women are afraid to make
a souffle because they have
"heard" it is difficult, When you
come right down to it there's
nothing mysterious or difficult
about it, but because it seems diffi-
cult to so many women, the woman
who tries it and finds how easy it
is soon achieves a reputation, and
her friends' opinion of her goes
up several notches.
Here's a recipe you will find
practically foolproof and easy to
make,' and oh! how delicious it is
to cat! Besides, fr'onl a budget
point of view, a souffle is a grand
addition to any menu, because it
is inexpensive to make, and may
be served as a one -dish meal, or
the main dish for supper or lunch-
eon. Begin with a clear soup, or
serve canned oyster soup or fish
chowder in small portions, This is
to guarantee that everyone is sit-
ting ready and waiting when your
souffle comes out of the oven.
Serve it while it's hot, in the first
flush of its puffy goodness, and
you'll get lots of requests "to
make it again", which is certain-
ly music to any homemaker's ears.
CANADIAN FISH SOUFFLE
3 tablespoons butter
11,fs cups cooked or cttnned fish

A National Theatre
Urged For Canada
A proposal is being advanced
for the establishment of a Cana-

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time, — The Ten Coninland-
ments were delivered 198 B.C,;
the incident in the life of Gehazi
took place 894 B.C.; the book of
Proverbs was written somewhere
about 995 B.C.; the passage from
the Gospel of Matthew wns utter-
ed in April, A.D. 29; the conver-
sation recorded in the ieghth
chapter of John occurred in Octo-
ber of the same year; the :epistle
to the Ephesians was written A.D.
64; the book of Revelation, about
A,D, 90.
- Place, — The Ten Command-
ments were given on Mount Sinai.
We do not know where Elisha was
staying at this time, nor where
Gehazi overtook Naaman, nor do
we know where the book of Prov-
erbs was written, The words tak-
en from Matthew were spoken at
Capernautn; the conversation in
the book of John took place in
Jerusalem; the epistle to the Ephe-
sinns was written from Ronk to
the great Greek city on the east-
ern shore of .the Aegean Sea; the
visio113 recorded in the pool: of
Revelation were given to John
while lie was on the island of Pat -
mos, located in the southern part
of the Aegean Sea, between
Greece and the Province of Asia.
16, Thou shalt not bear false
witness against shy neighbor. Sec
also Deut. 5: 20, and, for the pan-
alty of bearing false witness,
Deut, 19: 16-21. The worst or
• most serious form of a lie is per-
jury—false witness -bearing, that
is, to n 'neighbor's hurt in civil ur
criminal 'prosecutions, We 'trans=
gross this commandment :when-
ever we conceive a strong sus-
picion and repeat it as a thing we
know.
There is perhaps no conunand-
.ment in the .Decalogue—certainly
none in the second table — so
frequently broken by us as that
with which we are dealing,
The pages of the Old Testament
are dark with the records of men
and women who lied about other
men and women. Our Lord him-
self was the greatest sufferer of
all in the matter of false testi-
mony.
Matt, 15: 19, 20, 19. For out
of the heart come forth evil
thoughts, murders, adulteries, for-
nifications, thefts, false witness,
railings: 20, these are the things
which defile. the man; 'but to eat
tvith unwashed hands defileth not
the man. The sins here enumer-
ated • are those which violate the
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
comtitandments, The particular
point which our Lord is here em-
phasizing is that the Pharisees
were sinning in their severe in-
sistence that food eaten with un-
washed stands defiles n man,
whereas the truth is that real de-
filement is not derived from the
things we eat, or the manner in
which we• eat then, but in the
things which proceed from our
heart, many of which find their
expression with the tongue and
the lips.
Fattier Of All Lies
. John 8: 42-47. 92, Jesus said
unto them, If God were your
Father, ye would love me; for I
came forth and ant come from
God; for neither have I come of
myself, but hb sent tae. 43. Why
do ye not understand' my speech?
Even because ye cannot hear •my
word, Jesus now says that
the reason whythey, refused to ac-
cept what he was saying was be-
- cause they could not hear his
word, i,c., they were in such a
condition of spiritual death that
the words Jesus was uttering fell,
as it were, on deaf cars.
44. Ye are of your father the
devil, and the lusts of your father
it Is your will to do, This is true
of all men until grace regenrrnles
them; He was a murderer from
the' beginning. And stnndeth not
in the truth, because there is no
truth in him. When lie speaketh,
he speaketh of his own: for 110 is a
liar, and the father thereof, This
distinguishes Satan from all other
. evil persona. The lie has become
his nature; it is his own; he has
made it so by identifying his will
with it.
45; But because I say the truth,
ye believe me 'not. 46. Which of
you convicteth me of sin? If I
say truth, why do ye not believe
me? 47; He that is of God heareth
the words of God: for this cause
ye hear them not, because ye are
not of God. Refusing to believe
Christ. is not a matter of superior
intellect, but arises from absolute

THE CARE OF THE' EYES
By one whose sight was lost
!trough the carelessness of others)
The principle rule in the care
of the eyes is "consciousness of
their value". If you are aware at
all times that your 'eyes are the
most delicate organs 111 your body
and must be protected because
they cannot be replaced, you have
then taken the major step in eye
protection. You will have your
eyes examined at least once a year
and if glasses are prescribed, they
should always he checked with the
original prescription and changed
whenever stipulated by your doc-
tor. If one is experiencing severe
headaches possibly the eyes are
the cause of the discomfort, When
reading always be sure that the
light rays—either natural or arti-
ficial—are not reflected directly
into your face, If its a pupil in
school you are having difficulty in
seeing the blackboard, do not
hesitate to mention this to your
teacher who will be only too pleas-
ed to change your scat anti thus
avoid eye strain, Too often
people develop the bad habit
of rubbing their eyes with their
dirty fingers, public towels and
godlessness, To have God and not
to believe Christ is an impossible
situation.
25, Wherefore, This word re-
fers back to the preceding para-
graph (vs. 17-24).. Putting away
falsehood, Speak ye truth each
one with his neighbor. A neigh-
bor, the Scripture teaches us, is a
fellow num of any creed or mi -
tion; and to all such we are bound
to speak the truth. We aro to
watch ourselves scrupulously that
we do not lie to others in busi-
ness, in home life, in social life,
at the lodge, in writing letters, in
speaking front the platform, in re-
porting conversations, in making
promises in telling others about •
our own achievements, For We
are members one of another.
Christians are bound by recipro-
cal ties and obligations, and false-
hood wars against such a union.
soiled handkerchiefs, Lack of
sanitary care is apt to cause in-
fection which will rob you of part
or all of your vision.
Accidental injury
Another important step in the
preservation of one's sight is the
protection of yourself from those
with whom you conte in contact.
The files of the Canadian Na-
tional •Institute for the Blind are
filled with cases of eye injuries
leading to either partinl or total
..impairment of vision through ac-
cidents caused by others. Boys
and girls in schools and men and
women in offices have lost their
sight because of the harmless pro-
jecting of a paper clip, a piece
of orange peel or tinfoil 011 All
elastic band. Many have lost the
sight of one of their eyes in or-
dinary school showers and locker -
rooms because of the snapping of
towels. In all these instances
there was no intent to damage or
harm—a mere accident. These ac-
cidents have not only injured the
eyes but have often warped the
lives of the individuals injured.
No one would intentionally lose
his sight and yet statistics gath-
ered •by the Canadian National In-
stitute for the Blind for the past
twenty years show that approxi-
mately 50 per cent. of the blind
people in Canada need never have
been blind had the proper care
and protective measures been
used. This means that 4,500 Cana-
dians are needlessly living in a
world of darkness. Why lose your
sight? Exercise extreme caution,
protect your sight and your eyes
will protect you!

Each Child Owes
Debt Of $676.00
Every child in the Province
of Ontario born this year re-
ceives a legacy of debt of
$676.12, Evan Gray, president,
declared to the Ontario Asso-
ciated ,Board of Trade and
Commerce at Toronto last
Neck. He said he "looked back
with regret to 1904, when On-
fario had no public debt." The
debt of present-day children is
'a considerable economic hand-
icap for the new arrival, who
still has 'to pay for everything
he is to get."

It Once Had to Be Bootlegged
Because It Was Thought Evil

The world dons move, as proved
by the hilitoricnl tact that once 1t
was necessary to bootleg coffee,
notably In Mohammedan - countries
because it was classified as an in-
toxlcant and banned by religious
regulation.
Coffee was not even known to bo
edible o1• potable before the ninth
centry of the Christian ora, and It
was not until the middle of the six-
teenth centry that lho ban against
it was permanently removed every-
where in the world. Orgfnlally cal-
led' "cuwaah," in Its Orleutal spel-
ling, coffee came by way of Europe
into the Baltic Sea area, thence
into Holland and England, and
thence to North America. The Wes-
tern World dominates the coffee
trade and ranks high In coffee use.

Western Drought

Canada's wild lite has suffered so
severely becauso of the drought in
the West that It would be advisable
to have a closed season of at least
one year in four in order to allow
ducks to breed up again to fair
numbers, according to Dan McGow-
an, naturalist of Banff, Alta.
"As far as ducks are concerned,"
he said, "I can only suggest protec-
