"I'm going to be very busy and that way she can be outside." "Allright. Here we go!" Frank swung the youngster to his shoulder and marched out the door with Lancy yelling: "Giddup, giddup! Faster, faster!" "Don't let her get near the water tank, Frank," Mary called from the door. Frank waved to tell her he had heard. . "She worries too much," thought Frank. "Tank isn't deep enough 10 be dangerous." Frank put Nancy down. "Now you play here, and don't get into the water tank." Then he went to work on the calves. After a while he noticed that Nancy was playing with a stick in the water tank, where it stuck out through the fence. "Oh, "she's all right; let her have somé fun," he thought as he went on with the dehorning. Then suddenly it dawned on him that he hadn't heard Nancy for some time, He couldnt see her, either. "Nancy! Nancy!" he called, running toward the fence. Then he saw something in the tank. Quiet, still. It was Nancy. The little girl didn't die. But the doctor told them: .

The line which the vessel used carried an electric current which paralysed the mammal when the harpoon struck it. By this humane method of slaughter, a whale was almost in- stantly killed, ,with a great saving- in time to the hunters. An elecctric harpoon based on different prin: ciples was tried some years ago but it did not prove yarg efficient be- cause many supposedly dead "blue whales" came to life when lashed alorigside a ship. SPORTY SelTCRITIC Last week. this column hinted-- a 'trifle broadly, perhaps,--that the aristocratic Thoroughbred people didn't dppear tobe welcoming, any too warmly, the Standard Bred folks' efforts at making Hatness Horse racing a major league pas- time. in and around Toronto. Le ¥ -- We might have been mistaken, of course. For all we. know the run- ning horse interests may harbor a' . deep and secret loye for the lowly trotters and pacers, But, if they do, their actions, somehow or "other, remind 'us of the line from an ancient ditty which ram, "It's all very well to dissemble your love, but why do you kick me down- stairs?" . * * * But that's all water over the dam; and the sire too. Anyway, in spite of such handicaps as not being allowed to run their cards during . the long, summer twilight hours-- ~ when thousands of lovers of the sport from a distance could have and probably would have attended ~--the Thorncliffe Raceway meet has got off to a very encouraging start. Toronto never was, and for that matter isn't yet, a Harness" Horse Racing town, mainly because it never saw that sport oxcept in _ rather shabby circumstances, But from the sort of stuff the fans have been seeing at Thorncliffe, it might very well develop into a real one, and before so very long, at that. . * * * i The Thorncliffe folks got. one | grand break on their very first day. On the morning of the opener a friend remarked to us, "If they ever had the luck to start off with a .nice juicy Daily Double, also the best kind of an advertisement they could possibly get." : +, 0» * So. sure 'enough, when a steed called DANIEL, in the second race, came to judgment ahead of all the others, the payoff was $277.30 for a $2 investment; which is a pretty "fair sort of price-on-any-kind of a track, running or trotting. And when the figures were posted for -the Daily Double, they showed $629.50--which is ditto, ditto, ditto, and in spades. Having' a fdir knowl- edge of the Toronto horse-racing mentality, we would say that the news of such payoffs would attract more attendance than anything else that could have happened. Also, _those who go once are almost cer- tain to be repeaters, for the sport is smart and snappy, prices or no prices. Which will have to be enough of Harness Horse racing: for this week, =5 * ¥ * From dear old Wimbleton comes word that is highly shocking. There at the very shrine of Lawn Tennis we have the AP reporter sending news like this. "The decision brought on a noisy, unprecedented rhubarb--it- sounded much more like Brooklyn's Ebbet's Field than the normal, polite, hand-clapping gathering at British sporting events --police reserves formed a human barrier in front of the main doors," and stuff like that. * * * Still, we were not so greatly appalled at such happenings as we might have been had we not just finished reading, shortly before, an article -in an English periodical. It was by Derck Barat, and was entitled MORE LAWN TENNIS, LESS LACE PANTIES PLEASE, Because what Brother Barak -has to say more or less applies to ten- nis- on this side of the pond too, the following are a few quotes from the article which, we need hardly "explain, was written before Wim- bleton opened.

Potato Blackening Causes Concein -- Why potatoes turn dark when "cooked is a question" that is being asked by consumers in many parts of Canada, For years scientists in © different parts of thé. world have been asking the sarhe question, but so far without, much. success. They "admit that the problem is an in- "volved and complex one and agree "that no single factor is responsible - for this blackening of potatoes on boiling and suggest that a combina- tion of related factors all play some part in the process, . : Some of the contributing factors chusing potatoes to discolour on cooking are considered to be tem- perature, fertilizers, soil, vdriety and certain complex chemical factors "that to date are proving elusive to investigators. They do know, how--- ever, that temperature plays some part in increasing 'or accelerating the production of the factor that eventually causes the blackening in the potato. Investigators have found for instance, that little or no blackeping was observed in pota- toes that matured when the tem- . perature was 70 degrees F. or high- er, but that blackening was increased Mien the teniperature dropped to 60 degrees. ..Classified Advertising... * ACCOUNTING FOR SALE Irving N. 8hoom, 77 Victoria 8t,, Toronto.

But in the print a tricky light- and-shadow .effect- had made the head of the near horse (No. 3) ap- |. pear to be the one whose nose touched the finish line. So No. 3 was announced as the winner. When the picture was posted later that day, a spectator who looked at it chanced to discover the mistake. Seeing that the nose on the finish line was black, he kfiew that No. 3 had not won because its nose was white. The next morning the track stewards admitted the error, but the judge did not rectify it. ---- "sulting from this condition SOLD ON A MONEY-BACK GUARANTIR | DEAF from | CLOGGING | WAX?
