By BLANCHE ROBERTS
Synopsis
!tones Monroe auccesstully steals the
rbuloualy valuable Sylvester Diamond.
er friend Joe Danburne, a profesalonal
61st, tries to set 1t from her but le
prevented from doing so when he gets In
Btight with the man she loves, Dan
remner. district attorney. She take' a
llane for San Francisco but It become.
ost In a fog and lands to the sea lust orf
bhore. She Is picked up, the lone survivor,
y a young lawyer, Art Carey, who live.
with his mother near by. She gives them
the name Honey Roe, but that afternoon
when she and Art get the newspaper her
real name le Hated among the victims.
Art agrees to keep her secret and that
evening drives her to a cemetery near San
Franoleco, at her recnent.
CHAPTER VIII
(Continued from last week)
She took the diamond into the
palm of her hand for a minute,
cradling It lovingly and admired it.
Though she could not see its radi•
ance in the darkness, just the touch
of it was all she desired. Then she
put it back in the dainty box and
closed the lid,
Carefully, site placed the velvet
case at the bottom of the hole. A
tear or two fell on the top of it,
dampening the soft velvet; not tears
of regret but happy ones. Then
gently she pushed the earth back
into place, patting it firmly with
her bare hands and spreading the
grass over the place itt the shadow
of the stone marker. She left no
telltale mark that the ground had
been disturbed, and there were no
witnesses among the sleeping to
give her avast The Sylvester dia-
mond lay concealed beneath'the sod,
Its secret kept by those still forms
who shared the earth with it.
* * *
Honey rose unsteadily to her feet
and stumbled blindly toward the
gates. The walk back seemed end-
less, for she was tired and exhausted
from lack of sleep and the cloak of
sadness hung closely about her
shoulders„ weighing her down. She
had .no idea how long she had been
gone, but when she reached the wall
where she had 'climbed over, there
stood Art, his hat in his hand, wait-
ing for her.
"Thanks, Art," she sighed wear
fly and fell against hist for lack of
strength to stand up.
He put a protecting arm about
her shoulders, giving her the
strength that she needed so badly'
at the moment.
"Forget it, Honey. I am glad I
could do something for you." He
lifted her to the top of the wall and
scrambled up after her, "I bought
some sandwiches while I waited.
We can eat them on the way back,
There's a cherry pie, too. You
know, we forgot to stop for a bite
coating up," he reminded her.
"I guess that is why I feel so
faint," she said as they drove off,
"I feel all caved in."
Honey knew that Art must be
wondering wily she had gone to the
old cemetery at night; but when he
didn't mention the subject a flood
of relief swept over her.
Art said suddenly with a crooked
twist to his mouth; "If I weren't
already engaged to the sweetest lit-
tle girl in the world I would fall in
'love with you, Honey Monroe."

"And," countered Honey with a
bit of coquetry In her manner, "if
the grandest man in the world did
not love me and I didn't love him
I'd do my best to see that you did
fall for me, Art Carey, And plenty
hard, too."
"Well," grinned Art as he pulled
the car to a stop before an all-night
cafe, "the way I see it, then, we
will just have to be the best of
friends."
"I guess you're right." She got
out of the car and was glad to
stretch her tired body. "You can
always remember me as a funny
fish you pulled out of the water."
She laughted deep in her throat at
an amused thought which crossed
her mind at that moment. "Just
think of the magnificent tale you
can tell then back home about
catching a mermaid in the ocean."
"That's an idea," he exclaimed
heartily as they sat down at the
counter and ordered coffee. Then:
"One that breathed, talked and
walked. What a story( With red -
hair and beautiful ... "
When they were on their way
once more, Honey turned to him
with deep interest glowing in her
eyes.
"Tell ate, Art—is the girl of your
dreams back home?"
"Yes, she is." At once he was
inspired for further detail of the
girl he loved. "She has black curly
hair and a funny turned -up nose
with little freckles across .the
bridge of it. She teaches school—
second grade. We have trade plans
to marry as soon as i get back."
"Then that's why you are so anx-
ious to get home," summed up
Honey. "I'11 bet she is counting the
days, too."
He glanced at her. "What about
you?"
"There wasn't time for plans,"
she told hint sadly. "Things hap-
pened so quickly after we found
out about our love, that, well ..."
She just left the sentence hanging
in midair for hint to draw his own
conclusions.
* * *
When they turned •off the main
highway and headed for home, Art
remarked in surprise:
"Looks like Mrs. Riba has cont.
pany, There's a big car parked in
front of her house,"
Honey turned to look et the
house they were passing..
"Yes, she has,"
Right after she uttered the words
her ,heart almost stopped heating
and a tightgrip of fear caught at
her throat, The car park, ..1 iu Imo
of Mrs, Ribes was Joe Danhurne's
coupe,

Social Rules
* MY ANSWER is simple,
* You have asked for ostracism,'
* because you have followed a be-
* havior pattern which is not con-
* doped by the majority, who, after
* all, set the rules of social living.
* It makes no difference whether
* the rules .are, in your thinking,
* right or wrong. You both have
* offended those rules, and you must
* suffer the consequences you have
* invited,
* 1 expect you feel you are being
* very modern in your defiant stand.
* The truth is, you two are playing
* at marriage, refusing to accept its
* obligation to carry out the vows
* you trade. As there is no such
* thing as free love, so there is no
* free marriage. All you are doing
* is to shock everybody who consi-
* dors marriage a sacred respon=
* sibility,
* Either disregard this ostracism
* that annoys you, or behave like a
* serious couple who revere the
* standards which the civilized
* world has established.
Brief Answers
TO "UNHAPPY": Forget the inci-
dent, and date this boy if you want
to, Your girl friend was tactless,
but that's all, Unless two people are
engaged, either has the right to date
other friends.
TO "N.\W,": You are right. If your
finance intends to stop drinking, he
should prove that he can, and NOW.
'To promise he will stop after mar-
riage is a popular time, but if he
means it he can refrain from now
on, Wait until he has, for a good
long time, (I shouldn't worry about
his former engagement; that is
past.)
* * *
TO "MRS. R. L. B.": Sorry, your
letter did not reach me in time to
offer suggestions, Next time, ask -
her for a list of the girls and boys
your daughter wants to invite, plan
it outdoors, and don't worry about
the details, (Must newspapers print
suggestions for such parties, so
follow those itt this one; I'm sure
they will be helpful).
* * *
1'0 "M. G.": Don't urge your af-
fection upon your husband; let any
initiative come from him. Make
yourself as attractive as you were
when you married; and try to plan
social incidents which will involve
hint. Meantime, enjoy his new gen-
erosity, and try not to question its
reason.
* * *
TO "MICKEY": If you are study-
ing to be a concert artist, it isn't
wise to give any one young man all
your dates. IIe may think that, like
most girls, you want to get mar-
ried. Let hips know your plans—
and dot''t see hint so often.
* * *
TO "MILDRED": You must have
a cheap idea of friendship to have
deceived this lad. Tell hint who
you are, and clear the air. You
have been very foolish. If you want
nice friends, your must be worth-
while yourself. Begin now.

One cannot defy the rules of
society, and expect to go scot-free,
The penalities are heavy. If you

WIIAY SCIIOOL
LESSON
By Rev, R, Barclay Warren
The World In Which
Jesus Lived
Galatians 4:4a; Luke 2:1-7;
Matthew 22:15, 18, 23a,
Golden Text—When the fulness
of the time was come; God sent
forth His Son.—Galatians 4:4. -
The promise (vas given to our
first parents that the seal of the
woman would bruise the serpent's
head. But the promised seed ryas
not given for four thousand years.
Meanwhile He was prefigured itt
type by sacrifices and shadows of
the law. Prophets foretold the place
and manner of Isis birth, described
1 -lis ministry, His sufferings and
1 -lis death. "put when the fulness
of time was come, God sent forth
His Son."
God is always on time, The Ro-
mans controlled the world. The
famous roads which they built pri-
marily for military and gover►t-
mental purposes soon resounded to
the starching feet of the soldiers
of Christ who went everywhere
preaching the Gospel. There was
free access to alt lands.
The language of the Greeks whose
empire preceded the Roman was
almost universal. The Old Testa-
ment had been translated into
Greek and the New 'Testament with
the possible exception of Matthew
was written in this most exact of
alt languages. It was the vehicle
for the sending forth of the written
word.
The Jews had lost their national
independence. The nation was res-
tive under the Roman yoke. A few
devout souls as Simeon waited for
the consolation of Israel. Many
others were dissatisfied with the re-
ligious formalism of their day and
longed for a rich experience in God.
The strict legalism of the Pharisees
had becotne a burden too grievioue
to be borne. The Saducees, on the
other hand, a group of wealthy aris-
tocrats and priestly nobility, had no
message for the need of the people.
They had rejected the authority of
the Old Testament except the Pen-
tateuch and did not believe in the
resurrection. The Herodians, very
similar, contented themselves with
the Rotnan rule as long as the
Herods were even puppet rulers.
It was a time of great need and
yet of golden opportunity when
God's Son came, The lessons for
these six months will tell the story
of His matchless life. It is the most
thrilling story ear had ever heard.
It never grows old.
Failure At Christmas Tests
No Bar To Trying Finals
'I'I1e Honourably Dana Porter,
Minister of Education, issued a
statement today with reference 10
examinations in the secondary;
schools.
The Principals of secondary
schools have great responsibilities in
fixing the programme of studies to
be undertaken by the pupils. This
is particularly so for those enrolled
in Grade X11 I. Frequently, secon•
Bary school principals advise pupils
to discontinue certain subjects as
the result of their failure to pass the
Christmas tests. The Minister
points out that, in spite of this ad-
vice, no candidate can he prevented
front writing the departmental ex-
aminations. No failure on Christ-
mas test in Grade XI II denies the
pupil the right to compete for Up-
per School standing. Thus, if the
pupil and his parents are deter•
mined to ignore the principal's ad-
vice to discontinue certain subjects,
the principal still has the responsi-
bility of doing the best he can for
the pupil. This, however, may onl
be done so long as it does not result
in injustice to other pupils of the
school.
Books of Bible
Listed in Rhyme
'I'he following listing of the
Books of the Bible, put into rhyme
as an aid to memory, is reprinted
here by request.
Books of the Old Testament
In Genesis, the world was made
13y God's Almighty hand;
in Exodus, the Hebrews marched
'l'o gain the promised land.
Leviticus contains the law,
IIoly and just and good;
Numbers records the tribes enrolled
All sons of Abraham's blood,
Moses in Deuteronomy
Recounts God's mighty deeds;
Brave Joshua, into Canlaan's land
The hosts of Israel leads.
In Judges, their rebellion oft
Provoked the Lord to smite,
But Ruth records the faith of one
Well pleasing in Itis sight.
In First and Second Samuel
Of Jesse's son we read.
Ten tribes, in First and Second
Kings
Revolted from his seed,
The First and Second Chronicles
Sec Judah captive led,
But Ezra leads a remnant back
By princely Cyrus' aid.
▪ The city walls of Zion,
Nehimiah builds again,
While Esther saves her people
From the plots of wicked sten,
In Job we read how faith can live
Beneath affliction's rod,
And David's Psalms are precious
songs
For every child of God.
The Proverbs like a goodly string
Of Choicest pearls appear;
Ecclesiastes teaches sten
How vain are all things here.
The mystic Song of Solomon
Exalts sweet Sharon's rose,
\Whilst Christ, the Saviour'and the
lain,�r.,
The r<'Ipt Isaiah shows
The warning Jeremiah
The apostate Israel scorns,
IIis plaintive Lamentations
Their awful downfall mourns.
Ezekiel tells, itt wondrous words,
Of dazzling mysteries:
Whilst Kings and empires yet to
conte,
Daniel in vision sees.
Of judgment and of mercy too,
Hosea loves to tell,
Joel describes the blessed days
\Vhen God with man shall dwell,
Among Tekoa's herdsmen
Amos received his call,
Whilst Obadlah prophesies
Of Edom's final fall
Jonah displays a wondrous type
Of Christ, our risen Lord,
Micah pronounces Judah lost—
Lost, but again restored.
Nahum declared on Nineveh
' Just judgments shall be poured.
A view of Chaldea's coming dootn,
Habakkuk's visions give.
And Zephaniah warns the Jews
To turn, repent and live;
It is possible that there may be
an incentive in some cases for prin-
cipals to encourage discontinuance
of certain subjects. Thus a greater
proportion of those competing froth
Ids school for Upper School stand-
ing twill be successful in the exam-
inat;on,. In order to counteract this
possible tendency, a change is being
made i❑ one of the forms to be sub-
mitted by secondary school princi-
pals to the Department of Educa-
tion. This form will indicate the
number of pupils_ in (rade X 111
who have discontinued subjects dur-
ing the academic year. This record
is of great significance in the inter-
pretation of the examination record
of the school.
The ;\linister has is.ued a letter
to the Principals of Secondary
Schools to clarify their" responsibil-
ities itt this whole matter, The Min-
ister points ottt in this letter that
the principals chief concern must
he the welfare of the individual
pupil. Frequently, this responsibility
can best be discharged ;after a frank
consultation with the pupil's par-
ents. .. ,. ..,. .
Haggai wrote to those trito saw
The temple built ag;,in,
And Zechariah prophesied
Of Christ's triumphant reign.
Malachi was the last who touched
The high prophetic chord;
Its final notes sublimely show
The coating of the Lord.
Books of the New Testament

Acts bout of the Apostles tell
And how the Iloly Spirit fell.

A HAPPY NE\V YEAR to
Everybody—and let me tell you, 1
think you are the nicest people!
Yes, you must be, because the
readers of this column were so kind
to enc this Christmas. 1 do appre-
date your cards and letters and
hope to acknowledge each one of
them personally—but it takes time,
you know, so, until you bear from
me further, you will please accept
my thanks this sway.
I also want to tell you how Hutch
it helps me to know that this column
gives you a little pleasure; to get
a letter now and then makes me
realize I am w riting to real people
--some of you on farms like our-
selves; some in towns and cities;
and some, indeed, not in Canada
at all, but "across the line," And
here is rather a curious fact—more
of my reader -letters come from
the U.S.A. than from Canada—
folks who have moved away and
still have the home -town paper
sent to their. Perhaps this column
helps to keep green in their mem-
ory the Canadian way of living,
especially on a farm. Perhaps you
Soo, raised chickens, fed calves,
der ..:d eggs—or knew the joy of
hav:.tg electricity after living with
coal -oil lamps year after year. Per-
haps you re -live with me the busy
summer days; the unexpected
threshings; the difficulties of enter-
taining with the season's work at
hs peak—and yet loving it all and
mot wanting to trade one week of
it for a salaried job in the city.
But time moves on and it sometimes
happens that force of circumstances
make it impossible for us to live
exactly where we wish or do just
exactly as we like, So, perhaps,
having made your choice, you find
yourself living a different life from
what you were used to. You are
happy but yet you have memories
—memories that you cherish and
like to keep . , . of an old) home in
some part of Ontario — of which
maybe Ginger Farm reminds you
. , , of helping Dad down at the
barn; or bringing hone the Christ-
mas tree and trimming it for the
younger folk. Or perhaps, with a
New Year dawning, you remember
how you trudged off to school again,
through snow -filled roads to the
little red school -hoose up the line;
and you remember the day of "the
big storm" when Dad came after
you in the'cutter, and coining hone
the cutter upset when you struck
a fence -post which you couldn't
see because a huge drift had com-
pletely covered the fence.
And you remember how you knew
Alum would be trying to watch for
you coming through the blinding
snots—and how good it seemed to
come into the big, warns kitchen
where she was waiting with piping,
hot cocoa, made with half milk—
such cocoa as you never tasted
before or since. And it probably
isn't • a stream -lined kitchen that
you remember but one where there
was room for the whole fancily;
where Dad would sit in his chair by
the stove, reading the weekly paper,
while 1%1 11111 dished up a wonderful
steal of savoury soup and dump-
lings, Likely as not there wasn't
any hydro to ease the work for
Mum—but there were several pairs
of willing bands! Of course you
don't want to go back to days
with no conveniences but yet some-
how it seems kind of nice to re-
member the soft glow of the big
coa-oil lamp in the centre of the
kitchen table.
And then after supper, because
there wasn't a car in the fancily, and
no show or dance to go to, the
boys amused themselves with some
carpenter work they were doing
down in the basement; and Mum
got out her mending, or set her
sponge for the bread next day, while
the girls did the dishes.
Today things are a little different.
In many houses there are conveni-
ences such as mother and grand-
mother never dreamed of ... but
sometimes 1 get a-wondering—in
which era is, or was, the true
Golden Age? And what breed of
Wren and women will modern life
produce? Sometimes we seem to
have our sense of values :nixed.
Time of course marches on. There
is 'no .turning back—and we are
carried along in its forward search.
But sometimes I wonder if we
couldn't satisfy ourselves with more
of the simpler joys of country life
— good books, magazines, papers
and neighbourly visits. Perhaps we
don't make too good a job of dis-
tinguishing the gold front the dross.
That is just an idea—perhaps ft
might do as our New Year's thought
for today. \Vhat do you think,
folks?

Three Bears and a
Long Tail Monkey
A Chimney Farm Story
Once upon a time, three little
bears lived in a wood all alone with-
out a father or mother. But they
had a very good time. They were
full of fun and curiosity, and one day
the smallest, who had most fun and
curiosity in hint, fell into an old well
near the edge of the woods. There
wasn't much water left at the bot-
tom of the well, but what there was
felt cold and wet, and the little bear
yelled loudly for help.
In vain his brothers hung sticks
over the edge. Ilc couldn't reach any
of them.
A friend of theirs, a monkey,
happened to be passing by when ne
heard the excitement and carte up
to see what it was all about,
"Oh, that's easy," he ,aid, "Iia.:Ir
of you cubs hold me by a paw down
the well as far as you can reach, and
the littlest bear can catch me by the
tail, You may have noticed that it's
exceptionally long."
No sooner said than dome.
The two little bears leaned way
offer; the monkey stretched out. liis
tail with all his Wright, and the
littlest bear caught ,hold of its end
with all his might. 1lut what a time
they had pulling up so mach weight
so far However, it was done at last,
and the monkey was thanked and
the littlest bear rubbed dry,
"And now we'll have a party in
celebration," said one of the bears,
They wanted the party formal,
so they rolled live stones from the
farmer's wall, four to make chairs
and the biggest one for a table. The
table had a hollow place in it. This
they filled with spring water and
mashed roots and ,wintergreen ber-
ries and raspberries, and that was
their drink. As for their cups they
used their own paws, which worked
pretty well. They didn't have any
food, as there wasn't any.
"'Phis drink is delicious," said the
monkey who was guest.
"Thank you," said the little );cars.
"If we only had some cake to serve
with ill"
"No matter," said the monk.y
politely, though he did not like cake.
Just as the party was' going finely,
they heard a loud angry shout.
it was the farmer who was run-
ning towards them, waving his
pitckfork. Ile had seen the gap in
his wall where the five big stones
had been rolled away.
The three little bears and the
monkey gave one look and ran as
fast as their legs would carry them,
deep into the woods, The farmer
went back to the farm, where his
wife stood watching at the kitchen
door,
"Yes, John," she said, "I saw you
chasing them, but what for I can't
imagine, They were all as nice and
quiet as any party I ever saw. 1
wish our children behaved half as
well."
"'They'd been breaking down my
wall," the farmer began still cross-
ly, but his wife interrupted him.
"Now, John, you know that wall
ihn'tisn't any good for anything
these days. You don't pasture the
cows either side of it. The poor little
creatures were just having a good
time and you've rem them off."'
"1• guess 1 just forgott about not
mending that wall," said the farmer,
"Well, no use crying over spilt
milk."
11e was really a very kindly man,
but be did have a quick temper.
His wife had an idea.
"John, I've• been making dough-
nuts. Why don't you take a bag of
them down to where they were sit-
ting and leave it there? The smell
ought to bring them back."
So the farmer very willingly took
the doughnuts and left the bag on
the boulder table, and no sooner was
his back turned than the three little
bears and the monkey stole back,
and sat down again, each on Itis
boulder chair. They smelled the
doughnuts and understood that the
farmer had brought them a present.
So they dipped up their home-
made sarsaparilla with one paw and
ate the doughtnuts with the other,
and when the farmer looked back,
they waved warmly, and the monkey
picked up a handkerchief and waved
it at the end of his exceptionaliy
long tail.
Zacharius Jansen invented the
first compound microscope about
15gn.
Taxes
When an old South African native
was told he had to be taxed because
the government, like a father, pro-
tected hint from enemies, cared for
hint when he was sick, fed him
when he was hungry, gave him an
education and, for these reasons,
needed money, the old native said:
"Yes, I understand. It is like
this: I have a dog, and the dog is
hungry. He comes to me and begs
food,
"I say to him, 'My dear faithful
dog, I see you are very hungry. I
am sorry for you. I shall give you
meat.'
"1 'then take a knife, cut off the
dog's tail, give it to hint and say:
'Here, my faithful dog, be nouriel-

somehow or other, there just didn't
hapyen to he roost, Still, 1 don't
believe that there should be any
excuse for publishing them now, as
they're ell guaranteed to have been
tried--tested--and found very good
indeed. Here is one for some easy -
to -make rookies that I know your
folks will enjoy,

The big thing about pork, of
is thorough cooking—and
1 ally mean THOROUGH.
Pink pork is what you SHOULD
NEVER serve — it must be well
done, right through to the bone.
But that doesn't swan over -cook-
ing, The rules for roasting call
for pork placed—fat side up—in
an open pan, then a moderate oven
(350 degrees) and 35 minutes bak-
ing per pound. Trying to brown
roast pork at — say— 500 degrees
means a lot of waste because, more
than any other meat, pork shrinks
under high heat.
Here's how to cook spare -ribs its
that Mood old way known u "sweet
sour,"
Sweet -Sour Spareribs
2 lbs. spareribs
I tablespoon shortening
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup hot water
4 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons ketchup
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup cubed pineapple
14 cup chopped green pepper
or celery
Method
Cut meat in strips between the
bones. Brown in hot shortening,
cover and simmer for an hour and
a half. Drain off any excess fat,
add salt and water. Combine coin
starch with sugar, stir in vinegar,
ketchup and pineapple juice. Pour
over ribs. Bring to steaming, then
add pineapple and green pepper or
celery, Heat thoroughly and serve.
Extra good with steamed rice.
Will To Win
.A horse called Forrester present-
ed a remarkable illustration of how
thoroughly racers enter into the
spirit of the course. Forrester had
won many a hardly contested race,
but in an evil hour was matched
against an extraordinary horse
called Elephant. Around the course
they raced neck and neck, but just
before the finish Elephant pulled
slightly ahead.Forrester, finding all
Ms efforts to recover the ground
ineffectual, made one desperate
plunge, seized his antagonist by the
jaw, and could scarcely be forced
to quit his hold. A similar incident
occurred when a fine horse was
rendered so frantic at finding his
antagonist gradually passing him
that he seized him by the leg, and
both riders were obliged to dis-
mount and combine their efforts to
separate the animals.

Courts Reveal
Marriage Secrets
What a strange marriage!" we say
when we read of a rich wife who
made her husband do the housework
as a ''glorified, manservant," insisted
That he should write letters to her at
her dictation, have no social life;
never visit friends, have no money
of his own but leave her to pay his
bills for clothes and other personal
things.
When these facts were disclosed
in a recent English Chancery Court
ease the husband declared that, de-
spite them, his thirty-six years of
married life was "one long honey.
moon" and they were really a Darby
and Joan! In all those years they
rarely went out, and slept only one
night away from home. She told
him she could not bear him out of
her sight,
Strange? Yes, indeed, but at times
marriages come into the legal spot-
light, that make one gasp,
Coming to Terms
There was a remarkable case In
Chicago in which the wife of a tram
conductor presented the judge with
the following ten points as the
lowest terms for dropping her
divorce suit:
"I run the home, He shan't hit
me or call me names, He shall allow
me more for food and expenses'
And an allowance for my personal
use, He keeps the yard clean, On
days off he mows the lawn, Gives
me every other Tuesday off to at-
tend Women's Clubs, Takes me out
once a week, Gives me kisses and
affection. He can keep ten dollars
a week spending money."
"Fine," said the judge. "Now how
about a list from the husband?" The
man sat down with pencil and paper,
but could think up only six points:
"She shan't break or destroy
property in the home; get angry be-
cause she can't go out every time
she feels like it; gossip about me to
neighbors; she shall count to fifty
before doing anything; set the table
completely before we sit down;
when she goes to shops she will buy
everything she wants at one time, so
she won't have to make ten trips
daily,"
"Well of all —" exploded the
wife. But the •judge, holding up his
band, said, "Count fifty," So she
subsided, and they both signed.
The searchlight was focused on
soother strange marriage when a
frantic North Carolina wife told
the police that her husband had shot
himself, "He threatened to do it if
I didn't stop nagging," she moaned.
"Oh, if I'd only been kinder to him!"
Whereupon the "corpse" sat up and,
said: "It's' just a trjck, boys, The
blood is tomato sauce"
Was she kind to hint, now she
Dad the chance?. Not a bit. As they
starched 'him off for ' unlaWfully,
discharging 'firearms she screamed:
"Let me get it himl I'll murder
flim I" •
Lobster Parted Them
One American 'millionaire. got
into the habit of meeting girls in
eight clubs, declaring, them his
"dream," and proposing on the spot.
Mostly in this way he contracted
night marriages. One lasted`a fort•
sight. Another broke after 'two
months when the bride ordere4.
lobster, He became angry with her
because of the way she looked at the
menu, "hoity-toity as if there was
nothing good enough for her."
Fannie Hurst, the novelist, dis-
closed that she secretly married the
pianist and composer, Jacques
Danielson, on the understanding
that they should live their own lives
on these terms: She to retain her
maiden name; any children to bear
their father's name until they reach-
ed years of discretion, when they
might choose which to use perman-
ently. The pair to maintain separate
establishments, meeting "as per In-
clination, not duty," and to have
separate groups of friends.
"We decided," said Miss Hurst,
"that seven breakfasts a week
opposite one another might prove
irksome. Our average Is two."
Neither was required to account for
the time spent apart from the other,
11 the marriage did not work after a
trial period they would quietly
separate , .. After five years the
report was, surprisingly, "O.K."
In another marriage the wile said
t'1at whenever she had a tiff with
• her husband she played a record of
their wedding, and such happy
memories were revived that they
kissed and made it up, But she did
not state how long the second
lasted before it wore out.
A Canadian shipyard worker's
wife, up on a "drunk" charge, was
sentenced by the Vancouver magis-
trate to be spanked by her husband,
"I'm sorry, Patricia," he said when
they reached home, "there's nothing
else for it—sentence of the Court,
you know," and put her across hie
knee and soundly spanked her.
After which—believe it or not—she
was as good as gold.
He Was Jealous!
A curious marriage came to light
in Poland recently, Neighbors noted
that whenever the husband was al)...
sent from the village the wife was
never seen, The next time he was
away police broke in and found her
chained to a wall in the cellar. "My
husband loves me," she explained
haughtily. "I love him, But he is
jealous. He chains me ftp whenever
he goes away, Because I love him,
I willingly submit." So they just
shrugged and left her to her chains,
ln.a recent Liverpool divorce case
it was the husband who went down
to the cellar --- to get away from
the wife. He lived there the weeks,
sleeping in damp clothes on a suit-
case and tin box.
Topsy-turvey Household
Then tlyere was the man who told
a North London magistrate that
when his wjfe made life somewhat
difficult by expecting hint to do the
housework and wait on her hand and
foot, he consulted older friends, who
suggested that a baby (light slake
her more reasonable. When a baby
came along he found that his
troubles only increased. Now he had
to rise at 6.80 to give baby a bottle.
One of the strangest marriages
was that of Thomas Day, author of
"Sandford and Merton." First he
"adopted" a girl from an orphanage
to train her to be the "perfect wife."
To teach her stoical restraint Ise
dropped hot sealing -wax on her
neck and arses, fired blank cart-
ridges. at her without telling her
they were blank, Giving her up be-
cause she loved frivolous clothes, 1►e
married a Miss Milnes,
He allowed his wife no luxury of
any kind, stopped all correspondence
with her family, forbade her to sing
or play the harpsichord, which she
did well, and when he added to the
house a dressing -room for her, in-
sisted that it had no window, so
that for years she llad'to dress by
candle -light. He never allowed any
complaint about her health; when ill
she was bundled out of doors to
walk until she dropped, The little
orphan had not missed much by
failing to grow into the "perfect
wife"!
Husband is "Furniture"
Marry Wotlstonecraft, feminist
author of the "Vindication of the
Rights of Woman," 'had some pe-
culiar ideas about marriage when
she wedded author William Godwin.
"A husband," she wrote, "is a con-
venient part of the furniture of a
house." He should have a room
some doors away to. work in; they
would dine out separately when they
liked) their work and. friends would
remain separate. And evidently it
satisfied both, At least they. were on
visiting terns: , , .
The magnetic -eyed explorer, Sir
Richard Burton, who was adored by
his wife, used to mesmerize her
regularly, "He had only to say
'Talk!'" she, declared, ,"and I used
to telt him everything I knew. I
have often told him things that I
would much rather keep to myself."
While she was in a trance he would
sound her about the future and
luckily she was usually right.
Their marriage survived eveh that
severe test, which would probably
wreck most,
But the strangest marriage of all
must have been that of millionaire
Alonzo Thompson, of Maryville,
Missouri, who hada life-size wax
effigy made of his former wife when
he remarried, It sat at their table
and was served.
The second wife had to undress
it and put it to bed every night and
dress it for breakfast in the morn -
Ing, If she wanted money for a new
gown the husband Invariably con-
sulted the effigy, pretending to hear
the answers. Usually they were "No,
she can toal•c do with what she
has l"

pull for his team to win more games
for Lyn Patrick than they did when
under his personal charge.
And when everything is washed
up and the real hockey begins —
meaning the playoffs — it will be
found that the Smyth -Day method
has again paid off. This method, in
case you don't know about it, con-
sists in having three teams—one on
the way up from the minors, one at
Maple Leaf Gardens, and the third
on the way back to the minors.
In other \rords, as hockey is
played today, quality is important
enough, no doubt, but it isn't one-
two -three as compared with quant-
ity. Just who the Maple Leafs op-
ponents will be in the final finals,
we cannot exactly say, the tea bag
having developed a split in the
seams, l3ut, offhand, we wouldn't
be too much surprised if it turned
out to be 'Detroit.

In Horse Racing, we have no
hesitation in coming out and fear-
lessly stating that the Kentucky
Derby will be won by a three-year-
old—in fact you can go right now
and wager the roll on this, as it's
as near a sure thing as possible.
Continuing on our intrepid course,
we'll go even further and say that
the winner of the King's Plate will
be a steed that first saw the light of
day in the Dominion of Canada.
Beyond this we do not care to
go. If we were to give the names
of the actual winners it would cause
the gents who make the Winter
Books a lot of trouble—and some of
them are having enough trouble as
It is, hardly knowing where their

In baseball—if the present trend
keeps up—they will have to take a
day off in mid-season and introduce
the various Big League managers
to one another. Present-day base-
ball magnates probably were taught
in school that when there are only
two pennants to be divided among
sixteen teams, somebody is bound
to go short, But they simply don't
believe It, and so --as soon as a team

As to who will actually take the
National and American League
flags—well, there are dozens, even
scores of sport experts who will tell
you that, or attempt to. Always
original, we shall try and be differ-
ent and let you in on the secret
that it will be neither the Chicago
White Sox or the Philadelphia
Phi's.

In Canadian football, along about
November the first a quaterback
will call for a punt on the first down,
and the crowd—and the opposing
team—will be so stunned by the
novelty that they won't recover till
the game is over, Forward passers
and catchers will be a dime a dozen,
and every coach north of the border
will be willing to trade them—six
for one—in exchange for a kicker
who can really get distance or direc-
tion, or a middle wing who can go
for six minutes without yelling for
relief,
The Big Four winner will prob-
ably be Ottawa Rough Riders again
— and when they next meet the
Western Champs, the boys from the
wide open spaces would do well to
have a care — In fact a couple of
cares, They have long memories,
down around Parliament Hill, and
they aren't going to forget what
happened in the Calgary game In
any twelve months, But by the
time we get around to that point,
hockey will probably have been run-
ning for at least eight weeks, and
as that's the game with which we
began this, we'll finis!) on the same
sweet note.

In conclusion, we expect to see
sports attendances in every line
slip considerably during the year to
come — and if you think the pro-
moters, who have been making hay
In large bundles for the past decade,
will taka such slippage without
wailing, moaning or groaning—well,
just keep your ears tuned.

They Go Years
Without Water
• ---
Ninety-nine people out of a hu,t-
dred will tell you with sureness of
mind—"Of course, all animals need
to drink water at least once a day,"
That is an erroneous belief, for
there are many animals in the world
that go for a period of from a tnonth
to two or tlu'ec years without being
able to secure drinking water, Willis
P. Knight writes in Our Dumb
Animals, The only moisture they ob-
tain is from morning dew or from
the fleshy leaves of plants, Right in
our own country are little animals
that do not even care for water If
it is set before them,
Camel's Stomach
One might suppose that such ani-
mals have means of storing Water
supplies as does the cancel, with his
stomach of several divisions, The
camel drinks very generously and
his stomach acts as a reservoir so
that he can travel across the desert
and not be obliged to drink for
several days, A few animals do ab-
sorb moisture in their bodies during
the rainy season of the country
where each lives but others do not
even meet with a rainy season.
In the Pacific Ocean lies an unin-
habited land known as Henderson's
Island, It is about six miles long,
has no annual rainfall, no swamps
or water holes and no springs, It is
the driest place imaginable and yet
on that island live rats, lizards and
about half a dozen birds of various
species, The birds may be able to
fly 120 miles to Pitcairn Island and
get water but the rats and lizards
stay there at home and get abso-
lutely no drinking water as long as
they live. What moisture they get
comes from dew and from a few
desert plants that grow on the
Island,
Sahara Desert
1f you were to go to the Sahara
Desert you would find wild pigs
living along its border foothills.
This region has rainfall perhaps
once In two or three years and it Is
not of a sufficient amount to fill up
deep water holes or cause springs
of water to forst, These wild pigs
get what moisture they can from the
thick, fleshy leaves of the cactus.
One of the most Interesting ani-
mals that does not seem to need an
abundant supply of water is a small
rodent known as the pocket mouse
which lives in our deserts, It re-
ceives Its name because each cheek
has a fur -lined pocket on the outside
and in this it stores food such as
nuts, etc. This tiny creature thrives
where water seldom falls and where
springs are rarely encountered, If
one of them Is kept lit captivity and
water is offered, it may taste It out

of curiosity but seldom takes a real
drink. It will live for months on
nothing but seed, well dried and
thus does not gain any moisture,
Kangaroo Mouse
In the western part of this coun-
try is another rodent, the wood rat,
that lives In a place where rain falls
not more frequently than once a
year and in the Sonora Desert Is
the kangaroo mouse that does not
drink from water holes or springs
and gets its moisture front desert
plants. In nearly all deserts rain
does fall in great quantities when it
finally comes and .the plants soak up
enormous quantities of the water
and thus are enabled to live until the
next rainfall appears in from one to
three years.
Among the large animals that sel-
dom drink may be mentioned the
prong -horned antelope, and the
mountain sheep of nearly every land
where rainfall is scarce. In fact, a
mountain sheep seems to be the
(tardiest of all mammals and can
go front three to five months with
no water to drink.

Lincoln's Dream
One afternoon in 1865, President
Lincoln's Cabinet entered a council
room for a meeting, and found the
President seated at the head of the
table, his face buried in his hands,
Presently he raised his head. His
face grave and worn,
"Gentlemen," he said, "before
long you will have important news,"
Someone inquired, "Have you bad
news, Mr. • President? Is it some-
thing serious?"
"I have heard nothing; I've, had
n. news," he replied. "But last
night I had a dream, I dreamed I
was in a boat, alone, I had no oars,
no rudder, I was helpless in a
boundless ocean."
There was silence for a moment.
Then the President added: "I have
had that dream many times during
the war. And each time, some great
battle carne within a day or two,
Yes, gentlemen, Perhaps tomorrow,
perhaps in just a few hours, you will.•
have important news."
Five hours later, Abraham Lin -
coin was assassinated. '
A look in the mirror at regular
intervals would be a great help in
finding the one responsible for many
of our troubles.
Old Gray Mare
Shows Them More
The horse is a good swimmer and
he moves through the water very
smoothly. I saw a hundred horses
swim half way across the lake and
back at Fort Qu'Appelle once and
it gave me quite a thrill to watch
them.
An old grey mare was their leader.
They were in a strange pasture
bordering on the lake and she was
homesick! She led the band down
to the water and, after a few swal-
lows, with her ears pricked she
walked deliberately out beyond the
shallow water and headed in a bee-
line for the opposite shore which
was a good mile away.
She had a seven weeks old foal
at her side and a yearling colt fol-
lowing her. They never hesitated
but followed her closely, as did
every horse in that band. Ears
pricked, eyes gleaming as tnuclt as
to say, "I don't know where the
old girt thinks she is going, but I
guess it's all right. Anyway they
all went, just like a brood of great
ducks in V formation with the rip-
ples streaming out behind than.
Another fellow and myself went
on horseback and we had just about
made up our minds to ride around
to the other side of the lake so as
to head them off when they came
ashore, when for some inexplicable
reason the old grey leader swain
around in a wide circle and headed
back to the very spot where she
took to the water,
Perhaps her foal was tiring—
they had been in the water for
15 to 20 minutes, or she made up
her mind the distance across was
too great. Anyway they all emerged
safely and If you ever saw a slick
looking lot of horses you did then!
The sun shining on their soaking
coats made them look like bronze
and ebony, gold and silver, It did-
n't take them long to change their
appearance, however, A couple of
shakes and a roll in the sand and
the transformation was complete!
Try This Test
Dr, Donald A, Laird once asked
a class of boys at Colgate Uni-
versity to write down as fast as
they could the initials of people they
disliked. In a half minute some
boys could think of only one person,
others listed as many as 14. And
those who disliked the largest num•
ber were the boys who, Dr, Laird
had discovered from previous re-
search, were themselves the most
widely disliked,
A young bride, disturbed by her
husband's presence in the kitchen
while she was preparing dinner, ac-
cidently knocked her cookbook to
the floor. "You've made me lost the
place," she cried, "and I haven't the
least idea what I'm cooking!" .
Will 'I4he Machine Man Made
Finally Destroy Mankind?
Enshrinement in the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington of the
Wright brothers' "Kitty Hawk,"
the first airplane to fly, and the
simultaneous prediction that man
soon may be able to travel through
the air at a speed of 3,000 miles an
hour dramatically illustrate how
rapid has been the development of
the machine. At the same time
these things must raise the question
of what man is doing to control
this supersonic force his skill and
ingenuity have developed. Has he,
like Frankenstein, invented a mon-
ster that will eventually destroy
hint? Can he learn in time how to
control himself as well as the ma-
chine so that its great potentialities
can be used to achieve good ends
and a better life for everyone, or
will he allow it to be used by evil
or stupid men for evil ends?
This enormous development in the
speed of flight is something ,that
has cotne about during the lifetime
of most of the adult population of
the world. The Wright brothers
are dead, but there was a 63 -year-
old man at the Smithsonian Insti-
tution, Friday, who saw the first
flight from Kill Devil Hill on Dec.
17, 1003. The Kitty Hawk's first
flight of 120 feet and the second of
852 were made •at speeds of about
six and nine mite? an hour, respec-
tively, 'A man can run faster than
that. A year later airplane speed
was up to fifty miles an hour. Now,
only forty-five years later, a young
Army officer has flown at a speed
of 1,000 utiles an hour, and the de-
veloper of the rocket plane he flew
says this speed can be tripled. This
passage through the wild blue yon-

TIIEFARM FRONT
6(2m4svel),-,.
Maybe you've heard of the old-
fashioned farmer who—when asked
If he ever made use of the various
bulletins sent out by the Dominion
and Provincial Departments of
Agriculture, sniffed scornfully, "In
the summer time, when they might
be some good to me, I'm too
blamed busy to read the things; and
who wants to read about farming in
winter, when there's nothing a body
can do about the land?"
► ► ►
Well, that's one way of looking
at It, all right. But during the long
winter months it mighn't be a bad
n tion to sort of catch up on one's
reading, and get a slant at some of
the ideas—both new and old—that
are going the rounds.
For instance, Bulletin No, 459—
"Life of the Soil"—!,sued by the
Ontario Department of Agriculture,
has some mighty Interesting things
to say, from which I quote as fol-
lows:
• • ►
"A soil without organic matter,
or fibre or humus, is a DEAD
SOIL. All soils contain at least
some of such organic matter, but
many farm soils contain so little
that they are perilously close to ex-
haustion and ultimate death. This
In resulted from over -cultivation
and cropping, with failure to put
back enough organic matter to keep
up sufficient resources in the loll."
► ► ►
"The capacity of any loll to pro-
duce crops is lowered as Its organic
matter is reduced. As the soil's
productive capacity decreases less
organic natter—in the form of crop
residues, manure and so on Is avail-
able to be returned to the land. Thus
a vicious circle sets in—poor crops
to leave less organic matter—less
organic matter to leave poorer soil.
Is it any wonder then, that finally
the tired, run-down soil gives up
and refuses to produce any crop at
all?"
► • •
"This is not just theory, It has
happened on many farms right is
the midst of what we consider the
best agricultural areas of Ontario.
It is happening even now in farms
all over the Province, because of
misuse of the land. Prosperity of
farming depends on the farms con-
tinuing capacity to produce good
crops. Soil depletion undertnines
and destroys the very foundation of
agriculture."
► ► ►
The first step toward returning
sol' to ..t original productive con-
dition—the Bulletin goes on to ex-
plain—is to sit down and take stock
of your past cropping programs.
Ir roduction of organic material to
the ground—by the use of proper
fertilizers, barnyard manure and
other means—is all clearly outlined
► ► •
In this connection I might breal
in and say that the question is oftee
asked as to how much more plan
food Is contained in poultry .ma
ure than In manure from horse,
cattle etc.—also, does it lessen th'
value of manure for It to heat whet
In piles.
• • • '1
The answer is that the exat
amount of plant food contained L
manures of different animals varlet
with the bedding or litter it con.
tains, If each has about the same
amount of bedding or litter, poul
try manure contains about thret
times as much plant food as that e
other animals mentioned, But muc
of the plant food is autimatically di
stroyed if any manure is allowed 1
go through a heat.
• • •
And now, back to that Bulletin
started off to talk about, It's title
—as I said—"Life of the Soil." It'
number 459—and it's one of many
profusely illustrated and contain
Ing valuable charts, issued by th
Department, and available -free c
charge—to anyone writing from thi
province. You simply write th.
Ontario Department of Agriculture
Publications Branch, Parliamen
Buildings, Toronto, If sent out
side Ontario a.smatl charge Is mads
• • •
So why not write — right awes
before you forget—for your copy a
"Llfe of the Soil." I feel sure you'l
find it so valuable that you'll be
wanting a tot more of the other
bulletins, also issued "for free."
