Now that we have to keep an ear glued to the radio again—this time to keep up with what's going on in Korea — we have become acutely conscious that lnilitary, po- litical and ideological platters are not the only problems concerning Seoul, Now Seoul is a nice word for writing—short, snappy, fine for headlines, easy to produce on a typewriter and generally not in the same league with a word like Pyongyang, But saying Seoul is something else again, and in the brief time thus far in which radio announcers have had to wrestle with it, it has come out See-ule, Sole, Stile, and no doubt several other things... .

Or, alternatively, Syoeool, which monstrosity it claims is the Korean way of pronouncing it. However, Webster's New ,Inter- national (Second Ed, Unabr,, Regu- lar Style, Weight 1614 lbs,) holds out from its authoritative eminence for Se-ool, with the e as in end and the oo as in either fool or book. But proving that Webster's right hand knows not what its left is doing, Webster's Geographical Dictionary righteously advises Sole, or still another, Sall -tile, and makes no mention at all of Se-ool. That makes six approved ver- sions so far, and leaves the poor radio announcer with nothing to do except try to duck the issue, which is what Webster's Geograp- hical Dictionary does anyway by hiding the whole thing under Keijo (Kajo). It adds, however, that Kyongsong is perfectly all right, too. —St. Louis Post -Dispatch. Customer: "Just suit my wife, If there's anything she loves it is the last word."

Ont. War Canoe, Maybe? The Ontario Department of Lands and Forests says that a ques- tion often put to its rangers is: "Is there such a thing as an ideal list of groceries adequate for a two week canoe trip?" There are so many complications that the rangers, accustomed to making long wilderness treks, hes!. tate to answer it. But the depart- ment says that one list suggested for two persons on a two week canoe trip—provided that fish will provide the bulk of at least one of each three meals a day—is: "Flour, 20 pounds; baking powder half pound; cereals, 10 pounds; granulated sugar, 10 pounds; tabid salt, two pounds; pepper, one can; whole milk powder, three pounds; white navy beans, seven pounds; bacon, seven pounds; tea, one pound; coffee (concentrated), two jars; dried fruit, 10 pounds; shorten= ing or lard, three pounds; canned butter, three pounds; sweet choco- late, three pounds; maple syrup, one quart; potatoes, onions or fresh fruit, as desired," Essential cooking utensils are: "'Mediutn sized double boiler; fry- ing pan; coffee pot; saucepan; light wire broiler; can opener; folding reflecting baker; large spoon; cake or egg turner; butcher knife; kettle; deep pot with swinging wire handle; plates, cups, cutlery, etc." Did you say two people? Did you say a canoe?' Napier Moore's "Sketch Book." bSQRT Sl%6tTC1 IC This is a world of disillusion, and somebody is always coming along and kicking the living whey out of our pct beliefs, First thing we know we're going to lose faith in Santa Claus. * * * We knew, on the evidence of James L. Sutherland and other residents of the beautiful Limestone City, that Kingston was the birth- place of hockey, and the only fitting place for a shrine dedicated to the world's fastest sport. Then, some- body ups and proves that the sport was invented in some entirely diff- erent spot—the leading contestants for the honor, at present writing being Montreal, Quebec, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Nijni Novgorod, Russia, with several polling -places still to be heard from. * * * That Abner Doubleday and his playmates down in Cooperstown, N,Y, were responsible for the boon of the world's greatest sport—to wit, baseball (as if you had to be told), But, as reported here re- cently, some iconoclast has gone and discovered that the beastly English were even CALLING it "baseball" long before we folks on this side of the pond had any sport outside of trying to save our scalps, * * * And so it goes, Up to a week or so ago we innocently thought that gambling was gambling, no mat- ter whether it was shooting crap in an alley or plunging on the Red at Monte Carlo, or if you slid it at nine an, or 11 p.m. But live and learn; so we discover, 011 the au- thority of Mr. George llcCullagh's esteemed Globe and Mail that the Pari Mutuet machines, that are quite O.K. at Woodbine, Dufferin and other tracks where Mr. McC. races his Thoroughbreds, would turn into "iron pickpockets" if they were in operation under floodlights at Thorncliffc Raceway, (Railway claims agents used to say the quickest way to improve the breed of cattle was.to cross a common cow with a C.P,R, freight. Some sort of reverse action seems to be the case here—the quickest way to turn The Sport of Kings into a "sucker game" iS to cross a Minitel Machine with a Trotter or Pacer.) * * * All of which is a lead -up to our latest piece of disillusionment, and it is, if we may be pardoned for using such an expression, a honey. In all probability everybody in the English-speaking world that can read words of more than two let- ters knows that, back on an October afternoon in 1932, the great Babe Ruth, in a World Series game vs, the Chicago Cubs, pointed to the exact spot on the outfiekj fence where he was going to park a four - bagger, and then did just exactly that very thing, * * * In fact there's a I-Iigh School his- tory book entitled '1'IIE MAKING OF MODERN AMERICA that has already been adopted as a basic textbook in certain Academies of Learning south of the border, And as the students avidly pore through the textbook, accepting it as Gos- pel we hope, one of the "historic" pictures shows The Babe making that gesture, before gaping thou- sands. * * * But, according to a certain Mr, Root, the only drawback to this pretty talc is that it didn't happen, And Charley Root should know, if anybody living does, because he was the Chicago pitcher off whose servings The Bambino took his helping, From now on the tale is Charley Root's, as reported by Bill Bryson in Bic Des Moines Register. * * * Charley gritted his teeth so hard you could hear them grating upon his cigar holder, * * * "All right," he snapped. "I'll an- swer that once more — just once. But the next time anybody asks me about it, I'nl going to turn and walk away. I'nl sick and tired of it. * * * "So, once and for all—Ruth did not point at the fence before he swung. If he'd made a gesture like that—well, anybody who knows me knows that Babe would have wound up on his posterior. * * * "Stare, he was making gestures at our bench. We were really rid- ing the Yankees that series -and they were digging the spurs into us, too. We called each other everything we could think of. * * * "With Babe up, our bench was giving hint the business. They razz- ed him about that first strike and then about the second. * * * "He held up one finger and then two to show 'ens he knew what the count was. * * ,* "You know, Babe had a habit of swinging his bat out at full length with his right hand before - every pitch.

Made only by SAMUEL TREES CO,, LTD. 42 Wellington St, E., Toronto WRITE FOR CATALOGUE ISSUE 31 — 1950 CIGARETTE TOBACCO Larry Parkes Talks About Al Jolson For nearly fifteen years Al Jol- son bestrode the New York stage as king of Ann ica's hlaci;face en- ttretainers. That carte the first talkie, and the tvhole world heard him say that impromptu line: "?ley, ma, listen to this." The film Ilact found its tongue—in JO -soil's mouth. Al Jolson, in the words of one of his favourite songs, was "sittin' on top of the world." From The Jazz Singer onwards he Walde film after film, until a fresh loail of talent swept !tint off the screen in the middle thirties. For ten years he was a has-been. During the war Ile went overseas to entertain the troops, but neither Hollywood nor Broadway would look at hint twice writes Leonard Samson in "Answers.,! A Memory Revived And then, in 1946, Jolson rocket• ed back to fare—and has stayed there ever since. Last June lie was sixty-five, but the voice that rang "Sonny Boy" in 1928 is still twirling round on millions of new records; records that he made since the war. These bare facts on his life are familiar to anyone who went to see that fabulously successful ITol- lywood musical called "The Jol- son Story," In Britain alone, 30 million picture -goers saw it, and thousands more are watching the Techni - colored follow - up called "Jolson Sings Again." Yes, Jolson still has his voice, And the world sings again with hint the songs he made famous more than thirty years ago, songs such as "Ramsay," "California, IIere I Conte," "April Showers," "Rock -a - Bye," and dozens more. The memory of a great enter- tainer has been revived, And the man who did it was a young actor called Larry Parks who imperson- ated Jolson in both screen biogra- phies—and borrowed his voice for the songs. The old Mammy singer is once again perched on top of the world, but he'd never have made the grade if Larry Parks hadn't hoi.ted him up there, A little while ago the London Palladium gallery shouted: "Give us Jolson!" but Larry Parks—now playing in Glasgow—just smiled and went.into a duet with his eonmtedi- emir wife, Betty Garret. Afterwards, Larry said to me as we had supper in his dressing - room: 'I'm not Jolson, so why should I do his songs? It'd be like telling Bob hope's joke3," And Petty added: "So if the audience gets restless I tell them that Larry can't do Jolson because I can't imitate Ruby Keeler." After all, Larry had played in nearly forty films before the Jol. son histories cause along to give hint real fame, and he hopes to make at least forty more, Even so, a great many people still identify hint solely with the AI Jolson characterizations, In fact, his portrayal seemed so credible and sincere that one would imagine that "the man and his memory" knew each, other inside out. \Vhen "The Jolson Story" was presented in 1946. Hollywood gave out the news that "many were tested before the part was finally given to Larry Parks, who had impressed his studio heads with line performances itt smaller pro- ductions, and endeared himself to Jolson,almost immediately, . But Larry makes no bones about the fact that Jolson never wanted hint to play the part. James Cag- ney was the actor he had asked for, but after a number of tests the contract was handed to Larry. "No, -No, Nol" "I guess they, finally p;':ked om me because I was already on the payroll and would cost less," he remarked with a smile. "But as for Jolson, I can hardly tell you any - "thing about him, except that he's very richt, Maybe even richer than Bing Crosby, But then I don't know, He's never been to my house, and I've never been to liis." An interesting scene in "Jolson Sings Again" shows Larry Parkes as himself, and Larry Parkes as Ai Jolson, rehearsing together in front of an enormous mirror, but that shot was more interesting than acate. "Wcurhat 1 was assigned the part," Larry said, "1 got very worried about how I was going to snake out. 1 was a straight actor, not a song - and -trance ratan, and I wasn't sure that l could synchronize with Jol- son's voice, So I got together with hint in a small roost and sang 'Rock -a -Bye' the way I' thought he'd do it. At the end, he said: 'No, no, no, not like that! You're moving around too touch. This is the way to do it.' "Well, by the time he'd finished he was practically hanging from the chandelier, and he said to me: 'See? I didn't move a ntuscic." "Front then on I decided to work things out my own way." So Jolson recorded the numbers and Larry Parks rehearsed by him- self. Although Larry's singing voice wasn't heard once on the screen, Ise sang so many duets with Jolsott's records that he suffered badly froth laryngitis, "You see," he said, "I had to be perfect, Either I was synchronizing or I wasn't, There's no in-between," The two films were before the cameras for a total of fifteen months, and in that period Larry sang Jol- son's numbers more tines than the Mammy singer dict in half a century of show business, But not once has Jolson complimented hint on the way he handled the part. Facing the Crowd '11 can understand it, of course," said Larry, "It can't be very plea- sant for Jolson to have to watch someone else play his part be- cause he's too old to do it himself, I know I'd feel the sante way. "For a long time Jolson was known as 'the world's greatest en- tertainer,' and he went 'through a hard school to qualify for that title. Thirty years ago there was no such thing as beim groomed for star - dont, You had to fight every inch of the way. And if you weren't fillet) with a colossal ego and un- tiring driving force you couldn't snake it. Then the entertainer was out his own, with a 'backcloth be- hind hint and a rowdy audience in front." Larry is beginning to have an inkling of what it feels like to stand up and face the crowd. Although he has appeared in several plays, this is only the sixth week that he has faced an audience at; Larry Parks, and not as a character in a story, But Betty helps hint along. When the couple return to Holly- wood they plan to co-star in a filet to be trade by their own newly -formed company, But Larry is still under contract to Columbia, and the latest reports indicate that lte will make yet a third Jolson musical, Well, wily not? The first two were successful enough for Jack Benny to say: "If I had my life over again I'd get Larry Parkes to do it for mel" Sign in shop . window: Evening Gown Cttt Down Ridiculously Low.

Huge whales nosed under and around them, sharks clogged then and were caught and hauled aboard, Storms buffeted them. In the end they were battered on a reef and all but drowned! A boy's adventure story? No, a man's—and a true one. Thor Hey- erdahl, a Norwegian, lived itt the South Sea Islands studying native life before the war, Local legends convinced hint -that the original Polynesians came not from Asia but from America. In Peru he dis- covered another legelnd which claimed that some of the original natives, fleeing from the Inca in- vasion to the coast, sailed West- wards on rafts, led by a high priest named Kon-Tiki. Experts Only Laughed After serving in the Free Nor- wegian Air Force, he went to the U.S.A. to try out this theory on experts, but they only laughed. "The Indians," they said, "had no boats, only rafts, and there are more than 4,000 miles of open sea between South America and Polynesia, You try crossing that on a raft!" To their astonishment he said he would, And named his raft the Kon-Tiki, Four other Norwegians and a Swede joined hits in the crazy venture; the \Vashington and Lista governments supporta! it. The raft was built of nine giant Balsa logs front the Ecuador jungle --because the Indians used this light -as -cork wood for their rafts—and lashed with hemp rope. Amidships was a small cabin of bamboo and banana leaves to give shelter from the sun. Steering was by a 19 ft. oar at the stern, so heavy that it would sink if it fell overboard, This oar gave theist their first headache when they sailed front Callao into roaring seas swept by a trade wind. It swung the steers- man round like a helpless acrobat; not even two nett could hold it steady as the seas poured over. Its movement had to be limited with ropes run from the blade to each side of the raft. Terrors of the Deep When a big sea came the helms- men left the steering to the ropes and hung on to a bamboo pole frons the cabin roof, flinging them- selves at the oar again before the raft could tarn rotund and the ,ail thrash about. In the struggle arms and chests were sore with pressing; the oar knocked them green and, blue in front and behind. "Terrors of the deep" were no fgment to these taftnteti, Some- times at night they would be scared by two round shining eyes glaring at them front the sea with hypnotic stare—it might have been the Old Man of the Sea himself!" Often these were big vends with devilish green eyes; sometimes the eyes of deep water fish which utu came up at night.

One daylight visitor had the ugliest face they had ever seen -- broad, flat head like a frog's, with two small eyes at the sides and a toad -like jaw four or five feet wide, with long fringes drooping front the corners of the mouth, The huge brownish body ended in a long, thin tail with a straight -up pointed fin, It came swimming astern, grinning like a bull -dog, In front swam a crowd of zebra -striped pilot fish, and large remora fish and other parasites sat firmly attached to its body, "Walt Disney himself. could not have created a more hair-raising sea monster than that which thus suddenly law with its terrific jaws along the raft's side," Mr. IIeyer- dahl writes in his vivid account of the voyage, "The Kon-Tiki,Expedi- tion", It was a rare whale -shark, the world's largest known fish, which weighs 15 tons and may reach 65 ft. in length, Another menace was the octo- pus or squid, wlticlt could board the raft or feel about ever corner of it with its long tentacles, Not liking tate prospect of groping cold arms about their necks, dragging them out of their sleeping bags at night, the saltines slept with long machete knives at their side, Young squids were actually found aboard: one with its arms twined round the bamboo by the cabin door, another on the palm -leaf roof, Sharks Aboard Many times they were visited by whales larger than the raft, One headed straight for the port side, with seven or eight following, then glided right underneath and lay there, dark and motionless, while the men held their breath, One mighty heave, and , , . but, to their intense relief, it slowly rank out of sight, Sharks, six to ten feet long, were baited and hauled aboard, Some- times the captive would jerk itself round in great leaps and thrash at the bamboo wall of the cabin, using its tail like a sledge -hammer, with its huge jaws opened wide, its rows of teeth snapping at the men's legs as they tugged with all their Wright, jumping nimbly aside. Occasionally, for a diversion, two or three of them would row out in a rubber dinghy to photograph the raft or just laugh at it—for it looked so ludicrous in that waste of water, Once, when wind and sea were higher than they thought and the Kon Tiki was moving more quickly than they reckoned, the dinghy party had to row desper- ately with their toy oars to regain it and avoid being left behind. "Those were horrible minutes out 011 the sea before we got hold of the runaway raft and crowded on hoard to the others, home again." From that day it was strictly for- bidden to go out in the rubber dinghy without having a long line trade fast to the hews. One there was a frantic cry of "Man overboard!" as Herman, try- ing to save a sleeping hag from slipping into the sea, fell in him- self and was soon far astern, swim= " thing frantically after the raft but losing way, Kraut dived in alter him with a lifebelt and just managed to reach him in time, while the others hauled on the line and dragged theist both to safety. Last Desperate Fight Their worst ordeal came at the end, when they reached an island cast of 'Tahiti and crashed on a reef pounded by massive rollers, As a mighty sea cane over, Hey- erdahl clung to a masthead stay, the others to lashed boxes, guy tropes, anything that offered hand- hold, "I determined," he says, "that if I was to die, I would die in this Position, like a knot on the stay. The sea thundered on, over and past, and as it roared by it revealed a !,idrosis sight. The Kon-Tiki was wholly changed, as by the stroke of u magic wand. The vessel we knew from weeks and tnontlts at sea was no more; in a few seconds our pleasant world had become a shattered wreck." The cabin itself was crushed like a house of cards. They had a des- perate fight to reach the shore of the small uninhabited atoll, but they managed it, and after a brief Crusoe existence were rescued by natives from another island and eventu- ally reached Tahiti. Mr. Heyerdahl had proved that those original natives fleeing front the Incas could have reached the islands by raft. His story, translated by F. II. Lyon, with excellent pho- tographs of the life aboard, is worthy to rank with the classics of sea adventure. Crazy and Dangerous This crazy and dangerous fad of cluttering up the windshield of car or truck with a lot of swaying doo- dads brings well merited criticism from the Saskatoon Star -Phoenix. It was time something was said about this, Driving Today out any street or highway is a job that calls for constant concentration and un- obstructed vision. That is why windshields are made of glass or other transparent material. For the safety of others, all others who use the highway, as well as the occu- pants of any car, these windshields should be kept clean and. clear. Even a small sticker adds some hazard but these incitation birds and dolls which dangle in front of the driver's eyes are a standing in- vitation to suicide and manslaugh- ter, The other day a magistrate fined a motorist who was attempting to comb his hair and also drive, Lt the interests of common safety most people will approve of that magis- trate's decision and they would also approve of a similar action against those responsible for these wind- shield puppet shows. LOTS LIKE HIM The lecturer was ranting on his favorite subject—the evils of to. bacco, "Carefully cotnpiled statistics," he asserted, "demonstrate that every cigar a man smokes shortens his life by a week, and each cigarette by three days," A man in the audience rose to inquire, "Are those statistics ac- curate?" "Absolutely accurate, sir," de- clared the lecturer, "Why?" "It's quite important to rte," re- plied the man, "for if they're accur- ate, I've been dead some 287 years," Tasteless Entering a drugstore a girl ask- ed how to take a dose of castor oil without tasting it. The assistant said he would look up some sugges- tions, but meanwhile would the young lady like to try a new lemon- ade powder they had just got in. The young lady would, and when the glass was finished the assistant asked, with a smile: Well, did you taste it?" "Good Heavens!" gasped the girl, "Was the castor oil in that lemon- ade? f wanted it for my small brother," Newest Light Transport—Six jet rocket units and three engines enable the newest light assault transport to take off in a space of less than 500 feet.

His deep, unhurried voice halted the men. "Easy, boys, I'm Sheriff( Hank Roberts. There's a hell of a fight goin' on inside, but there ain't a chance for any man here to help, I'm tleputizin' every man of you, regardless. Round up therm Tri- angle snakes and hold 'els in the bunkhouse. \Vebb and Tex Jones is inside attendin' to a little per- sonal matter. I'm boldin' this door, and one of you men guard the back door. Watch the windows, 1 got warrants for the arrest of Ab Abbot and Joe Blake and for every Tri. angle cowboy, Help me serve 'em legal and proper. Git at it, cow. boys." Fronm out there in the darkness a voice spoke in a soft Texas drawl, "And now I'm a deputy! I'll be damned. Sheriff, the drinks is on me. Let's go, you Hoot -Owl depu- ties!" Perhaps that was a chuckle that escaped from the sheriff's bandaged lips. The man who had spoken was giving quick, efficient orders, "Take to 'em cowboys, Round up them Triangle things and cor- ral 'enm. \Ve're a-workin' for the law and workin' hard!" From inside time house Hank Roberts could hear \Vebb Winter's voice. "All right, Tex? Are yuh all right?" "All , . , all right, pardner, 1 done -paid off Ed's debt. How you fixed?" "Got the big hunk of meat hog- tied and I'm settin' on his belly. Hurt any?" But Tex's voice did not answer, Sheriff Hank Roberts shoved open the door. "Find Mac, Hank• Find hers" "Mae's safe, son." "it's Hank, \Vebb. I'm strikin' OM 4912 SIZES 12-20 30-42 4bt. 444 So smarts So versatile!

Then the match in the sheriff's hand flared. Its flame lighted a spare lamp and there, in the yellow light Sheriff Hank Roberts looked at the wrecked room and the meu who had wrecked it. •Joe Blake lay sprawled on his face, dead, Beside him lay the lanky Texan, a gun in his hand. He was breathing heavily and blood oozed from a bullet hole in his side. On the floor lay Ab Abbot, sense. less, an ugly welt over one eye. \\rebb Winters, blood -smeared, sat on the heavy paunch of the un- conscious cattleman, "He's yourn, Hank," said \Vebb. Then handcuffs snapped on Abbot's thick wrists. \Vebb was betiding over Tex. The Texan's eyes opened. A slow grin spread across his scarred face, "I'm all right, pardner, Hell, this ain't nothin'! Just a scratch. I paid Ed Young's debt, When the work is done this fall I'II be lightin' out for Texas where Ed's sister is waitin' for me, Can you loan me the use of the nmakin's?" Judge Anders was wearing a new black broadcloth suit, He sat there in his chair, grave, white-haired, sober. He was once more a judge. Yesterday he had sentenced Ab Abbot and Chino to prison for life, But today he was serving in a different capacity. The courtroom was packed with amen, women, children, There were ranchers and their wives, ranchers who represented the Scissor -Bill Pool. At the rear of the courtroom were cowboys tvho had ridden with the Hoot -Owl Pool. Tex Jones looked uneasy as he stood there, next to Webb Winters, \Vebb, holding the hand of Kathleen Mlav- ournecn Murphy. Sheriff Hank Roberts stood beside her, his leathery face wrinkled with a faint grin. "And so," finished Judge Anders, "I pronounce you man and wife," Gravely his eyes bright with un- shed tears, Judge Anders kissed the bride. Then he gripped the hand of the new owner of the Triangle, Sheriff Hank Roberts was next to kiss the bride. "And now," he said, "we'll head for the schoolhouse, And if them fiddlers don't play till sun -up to. morrow, we'll hang 'enm. And you Hoot -Owl Pool men, listen. The town is yourn. Take care of it. Judge, lead the ways" THE END Her .System A salesman was trying to sell Bit young wife an egg timer. "Your husband's eggs will be just right if you use this, ' he as- sured her, "But I don't need it," she an- swered, brightly, "Jack likes his eggs the way I do them. I just loot: through the window at the traffic lights and give them three reds and two greens." CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Constellation 4. Pedestal part 6. Death notice 12. Auditor .14.

Lair Flower Girl -Shirley May France, the 17 -year-old schoolgirl who will soon snake her second attempt to swim the English Channel, finds herself right at home among the lovely flowers that bloom on the chalk cliffs of Dover, England. Shirley May is training there, determined to become the youngest person ever to swim the dangerous stretch, HRONICLES INGERPARM Gu12t�dnlD CteaAte Sane thinking is just about im- possible this week end - or even thinking! You see we are suffering from an influx of the younger generation -and when six young people get together iii one house there is never a dull• moment, es- pecially when two of therm are new- ly engaged and become the target of all the ribbing the other four can think up. Added to that another of the party is celebrating a birth. day so there had to be a "suitable" present "appropriately" wrapped, So there you have it, friends, and if anything I say appears to be without rhyme or reason you will know who is responsible, Right at this moment there is a lull in activi- ties around the house as the young folk have, I believe, departed in quest of a swim, Partner is having his forty winks so it seemed like a good time to at least get this col- umn started. This is one of the few nice week. ends we have had this summer - neither too hot nor too cool, and a nice breeze blowing, May it so continue for there is work aplenty that will be helped or hindered ac- cording to the whim of the weather. The wheat is ripening fast and will possibly be ready to cut sometime this week. So we arc back again to that perennial worry . , , fear that hail, wind or heavy rain will knock it flat before the binder gets into it, Last Thursday,_foe instance, in some districts there has a short, sharp storm and wheat was flatten- ed here and there. No extensive damage but enough black sky to create that sante fear as we watch- ed the black ominous clouds roll up ... and then cause that spirit of thankfulness after the storm when we found the wheat had not been smarmed and the spring crop still bobbed and billowed in airy waves with the decreasing winds. It was well the storm did die clown because I had arranged to 11. Goff gadget 13, Relate 17, Harvest 19. atop, din 21. Raised in a garden 22. Public store. house 23. Sailing vessel 21. Marks ot 1.

Mrs. Hoey specializes in hand - blocked drapes, which she designs, dyes and prints herself, Her work is exquisite in both colour and de. sign, There was a very good write- up in the Family Herald last spring featuring her work -no doubt many of you read it. But reading about it is one thing and seeing is an- other, Mrs, Hoey is very young to have accomplished so much in such a short tine -and always there are new designs in the making, Some mothers find it hard with young- sters around to keep up with even ordinary work - but Mrs. Hoey does all this and her art work too. She has two lively, adorable little girls, two and four years old - just another work of art you might say -although I imagine her hus- band contributed his share just as he also helps his wife with her block printing during the week- ends, Maybe not many of us could af- ford drapes suclt as Mrs. Hoey makes -even though her charge is actually very reasonable. However, if you really want something orig- inal and have difficulty in finding drapes that are just right for your living room Mrs, 1-Ioey has the answer, Yes, I Mean that, because you just choose any design she has on hand and she will make it up in any colour scheme you desire, Or for an additional charge she will even snake you an exclusive design featuring anything you have in mind. If you arc musically in- clined then Mrs, Hoey could design your drapes with fiddles and bows, music scores or 'cellos, She might even throw in a few grand pianos for good measure and the effect would still be artistic. Or you may be fond of poetry and would like The Song My Paddle Sings inter- preted in your drapes and slip- covers. Then Elizabeth Hocy would be the girl to do it , .. and that theme would please her because she likes to specialize in art designs that are exclusively Canadian. And for wedding presents that are different Mrs. Hoey has place mats in sets of four, or two, with table napkins to match. They mt•ouldn't do for me because I would be inclined to shove my plate to one side rather than have the place meat hidden front view. This, of course, isn't meant to be "sales talk." I just wanted to bring to your attention one more Cana- dian of whom we may well be MUG. SAFES Protect your 11111189 and CASII Truth Hum and TIIIEt'ES.

Eslahlishcd (853 ARE WE CANADIANS THE WORLD'S WORST CAR•DRIVERS? Canada is in the middle of the grimmest chapter in the 1950 edi- tion of "I1ightway Homicide." It began July 1 with the holiday weekend and goes through until Labor Day. This is the period when our highways are crowded and death and injury ride with the care- less, thoughtless, discourteous, the stupid and those who are lust un- lucky --and all their unfortunate victims, What will the pages of this grisly chapter tell? Will it be as shocking as last year: -An estimated 2,200 killed (1,581 in 1939). -50,000 injured and maimed (25,104 in 1939). -$50 millions in property dam- age. -28 accidents per 1,000 cars (16.2 in 1939). -Slightly more than 10 persons killed for every million miles travelled. This last item is the real shocker, It stakes Canadians the world's Most dangerous drivers, not the Americans, as most people believe, Their ratio of deaths Av1s 7.7 in 1948• This years grim sten: ties are now in the making: in the screech of skid'ding tires; the crunch of tons of flying metal and glass cont. ing together; the long pitiful plrade t, the hospital operating roost, Chances are the 1950 toll will be evert greater than 1949, The re- cord so far seems to indicate this, Accidents in Ontario, for example, are up 34 per cent over 1949 up to the end of March. Fatalities were lower in the first quarter but were up substantially in May, If these deathly statistics are too impersonal to register, maybe you can be impressed through your pocketbook. In these days of sudden highway death, the wise motorist has ade.

It's a splendid formula -thin combine• Oen of essential oil and camphpr and other antiseptics so good that thou5ande of bottles are eotd annually to help soften up corns and callouses. • ': he rest is for four hours labor, The 1939 cost of $17.79 for the same job included $13,70 for the new grill and $4.09 for 1.9 hours labor. Besides paying higher labor costs, it's taking longer to get work done, 'l'Imis is indicated by the increase in time to replace the grill and also a fender; from 3.6 hours in 19.1) to 4.3 hours last year. Overall, car repair costs arc 65 per cent higher than they were in 1939, But repair bills are not the only iteral that slake accidents more costly. The average claim for personal injury ((and property damage) is 48 per cent higher, This means higher doctor's fees, hospital costs, the amount of pay lost by alt auto- victim, Alt have risen through the' years, Then, loo, the number of claims have jumped tremendously: around. 350 per cent over 1939 against an, increase of 200 per cent in the vol- ume of insurance busness. And unless Canadian motorists themselves do something about their driving habits, most of these fig. ures will keep rising, -Front The Financial Post. 1 didn't accuse anyone of cheat. ing: I just saki I hoped they would play the hands I had dealt them.

OX -BLOOD, BLAOIC, AND ALL SHADES 01' BROWN 1 fy 99 YOUR :SHOES THIS MORNING? l b a /TAB:LE MIAS eine Andrews, Back in June or thereabouts I passed on to you instructions for a basic biscuit mix, and one for a muffin unix, together with sonic re- cipes that made use of these time - and - work - saving pre; orations. '['hese, as I told you, had been pre- pared by the U. S. Dept. of Agri- culture, in the interests of better and easier house cooking. Since then a leading packing house has developed, after four yc;.rs of work in its test kitchens, a basic homemade pastry unix. Literally hundreds of recipes were analyzed to find the basic formula. Ten minutes or Tess spent in properly combining the four ingredients will result in a convenient "make -your - own" mix that is always fresh, znd you will find a real help in prepar- ing pastry, cream puffs, biscuits, desserts and dozens of other deli- cacies, * * M These points were found impor- tant for best results. Combine the rich, creamy short- tcning with all-purpose flour and double-acting baking powder. Use standard measuring cups and spoons. In using the unix, spoon it into the cup. Do not sift it or pack it in. 4 * * Remove eggs and milk from re- frigerator or other cool place 5 or 10 minutes before using in cakes. If the batter is at room tcnipera- ture, the cake will be better. Use the right -sized pans. Note the right baking tempera- ture. 4 * 9 If half a recipe is made, be sure to divide every ingredient in half. These recipes are for all-purpose flour as used in the East and Mid- west: If you use soft wheat flour, popular in some parts, use less milk or other liquid -2 tablespoons less for each cup called for in the recipe. * If you use self -rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt in the Make -Your -Own Mix. 11igh altitude baking requires a reduction in the baking powder and sugar used in most recipes. But these 'recipes arc low in sugar, so baking powder probably is the only Ingredient which must be changed according to the altitude.

"Yes, we travel fast these days," he said, "But have you ever thought of the flight of tinme—of the fleeting hours of youth, the pollen days that swiftly pass away? Iiave you ever counted the min- t; fes—?" "Look here," said the young ratan, suspiciously, "I don't quite get the bang of this, Are you tying to sell me a watch?" SOLEMN THOUGHT Rich Mr, X was showing a friend around his tremendous estate; Visitor (murmuring): "Beautiful lawn." Mr, X (complacently); "Ought to be.

Smith A lawn can be built up without being remade and a renovation pro- gram may often be far more practi- cal than digging no your old turf. The home owner who follows a careful program of seedi;tg the lawn, feeding it and controlling weeds can have bctti.r-than-average turf at the annual cost of a couple of tankfuls of gasoline. It frequent- ly isnot necessary to d g up and rebuild the turf completely, 1-Iow- ever, the gardener cannot expect to produce this prize-winning ex- panse of grass in a s'ngle year; it will take three or four. * * * A lawn -improvement campaign should get under way about Aug, 1, rather than in spring or early summer. But first it is advisable to have the soil analyzed by an Experiment Station or testing litb- oratory, such as those the larger lawn seed companies operate. This will indicate the type of soil, need for lime and so on. * * To obtain a sample from the lawn for a soil test, a plug of sod four inches square and five to six inches deep is dug with a sharp trowel, It is then wrapped securely so it will reach the laboratory in the form in which it wss taken from the ground. Where a lawn does not exist but one Is contemplated, a ,- pint of loose soil is dug up in bulk' and sent, * * Early in August crabgrass should be removed from the lawn, or at least further growth stopped s0 that this year's crop will not produce viable seeds. This may be done by using the dry crystals of a crab- grass -control compound. A double rate application of this is recom- mended because the crabgrass will be rather tough at this time. Sev- eral materials, to be applied either as a dust or a spray, are now on the market for the control of crabgrass. * * * In ten days or so, the spreader is used again to apply a combina- tion of fertilizer and weed -control compound, This will tv;tlter and destroy the broadlenvcd tweeds, such as dandelion, plantain, buck- thorn and chickweed, * * t: • Toward the end of August, the lawn mower is set to cut as closely as possible, Int fact, the grass should be literally scalped at this time. Then the clippings are removed and the spreader used again; this time to apply lawn food at the rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. It is put on just prior to seeding any bare patches. . * * * Before sowing seed ,the topsoil is loosened to provide a rotnghened . surface that will catch the seed, The decaying plants of crabgrass and other tweeds will help provide a lodging place for the seed and entrance channels for the fine roots that will develop on seedlings. * •* * The soil test report will suggest the type of a seed that should be sown, For a light sandy soil that needs line to offset its acid con- tent (the type so often found) the seed mixture might be 65 to 70 per cent Kentucky Bluegrass, 15 to 20 per cent Poa triyialis, 10 to 15 per cent Highland 13entgrass. Such a mixture would contain about three million seeds per pound hence the economical rate of 2 pounds per 1,000 square feet would be ade- quate. * * * The lawn spreader is then set for the two -pound tate and the turf gone over in one direction only. The seed is stirred into the ground by using the flexible steel drag and the area kept watered until the 04, �,,44.0.,b,+w�0fe pIo• old;j�6iocl tetv1f./4 ad�00►1`i1 �aoi/f r� fid sj�alttett I��t. lop/ I rl�P1 Is► �1+.•1�Zipriereatte 4#011 41 00 1.8ite!

A sandy soil need not be watered heavily, for the coarse particles do not hold much moisture. and the excess drains away, however, it is neces- sary to water frequentiy—prefer- ably twice a day in the early stages of growth, * For the rest of the season, when- ever the lawn reaches one and a half inches, grass is cut to a height of about one inch. It is all right to let the clippings fall unless they arc so heavy that they stat the young grass. Leaves should be raked up regularly so that they won't smother patches of seedlings, * * * A few words of caution, Don't make the mistake of thinking it necessary to remove and cart away sandy, weedy sod before embark- ing on a lawn -building program. '['here's valuable humus in old sod, poor as it may be, and this can be saved by turning it under. * * * '?'his is a basic program for lawn renovation that is good for almost any part of the country.

Countless generations of children had learned to read clutching the handle of a hornbook and William Shakespeare could hardly have been an excep- tion. Shakespeare learned to form his letters in the way all the little boys in rural districts formed them, Tite new Italian hand, which corres- ponds roughly to the modern way of writing, had made great head- way in court and city circles, but the medieval way of writing, the one called the secretary hand, was still being used in the country, Some of Shakespeare's fellow - dramatists, like George Peels, used the new Italian way of writing; some of them, like Thomas Kyd and George Chapman, used both fashions interchangeably, and at least one of them, Ben Jonson, worked out an efficient compromise between the two, The few signa- tures which are all that remain of Shakespeare's writing are dote in the old-fashioned secretary hand, As soon as he could read and write and knew his Catechism, young Wiliam Shakespeare was ready to enter Stratford grammar school, I -(e was the sort of one of the most prominent men in Strat- ford, but he received the sante edu- cation that was democratically open to every boy in town and there was no charge for the in- struction. —Marchette Chute, in . "Shake- speare of London." Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Should a man remove his hat in an elevator? A. It is not considered necessary any more for a man to remove his hat in a business elevator. In ele- vators in apartments, hotels and clubs, nen remove their hats, but in elevators in office buildings and stores they usually do not. These elevators are usually crowded and it is difficult for a ratan to put up his arm and take off his hat, • Q, Is 'Dear Sirs" considered a };roper salutation to a business let- ter? A. No; the terns "Gentlemen'' should be used. Of course, if the business letter is • addressed to an individual, then "Dear Sir" is quite correct. Q. When a man takes a woman to dinner, should lie give Iter order to the waiter before giving his own? A, Yes, alway s. Q. Is it proper to use a piece of bread as a "pusher" in order to take up items from the plate more easily on the fork? A. No; this is ill-mannered. It is Permissible, hocevyr to hold the knife in the left hand, holding the edge down, and use it as a barrier against which the fork may pick up the articles of food more easily. Q. Are the invitations to a home wedding usually limited? A. Yes; usually to relatives and very close friends. Announcements are sent in place of wedd.ng invi- tations to acquaintances not in- v:ted to the wedding. Q. When walking with a woman who Is carrying an umbrella, should a man offer to hold it for her? A. Yes. Q. Is anything at all written on the Inner envelope elclosintg a for- mal wedding invitation? A. Only the names of those to whom you arc mailing the invita- tion—no address. This en% elope is then placed in the second, or outer, envelope which is sealed and ad- dressed. Q. When introducing a relative, is it proper to use the possessive pronoun and mention the relation - chip? A, Yes, this is perfectly proper. One may say, "My father, my mo- ther, my sister, my uncle.'' Q, If a divorcee retains her hus- band's surname, how should she be known? . A. 13y her given name, her family name and her married name, as, "Mrs, Mary Brown Williams," Q. Is an engagement ring an ab- solute essential of any engagement? A. No; the validity of an en- gagement is not based whatsoever on the ring. It is only the marriage service that requires a ring.
