That Wasn't Taken Ii I had taken Bernard Staw's advice 'to me in 1919 1 should never have written his I.ife HOT any one Ise's, My firsg sight of him was at a dress relicarsal of Agdrocles and the Lion; which Granville-Barker produced at the $t.

His pamphlet, Commonsense About the War (1914), started me on the road to Shavianism, and by 1910 1 hol read all his works, some of them two or three times. That year I wrote, to him on behalf of Frank [larris, who was trying to Tinteresy 1 Lis. famous aries iu his book on Oscar Wilde. Shi conjempor asted me to call and see him, annoying not to know vou look like 1 was in- the an it the time, but did not allow that to stand in the way, and by the wd of subterfuee man- aged to enjoy several tong talks with tim in Adelphi Ferrace, During my three years' service ip Mesopotamia I corresponded with hint occasionally and becume an out-and-out Shavian; so much so that when | returned home he gave me the advice already referred to: "Neither I nor any man of my generation takes the smallest inter- est in you, or can be anything to you but snare. You mucr deal with the world as you find it, not as I found it. Of all Jiterary bores and failures the most hopeless are the Don Quixotes who make Dul- cineas of their pet authors and rush about breaking lances for them in- stead of (Joing honest original work. What do you suppose I should have been if I had spent my life pester- ing people about Ruskin and Car- fyle, Mill and Herbert Spencer, in- stead about Shaw? ¥t is frie that 1 wrote books about Wagner and Ibsen: but they were virtually mv cohteinporaries; and what 1 called attention to was not their music- dramas and plays, but a modern philosophy of life which they, like myself, © were exponents." --From "G.B.S., A Postscript," by Hesketh Pearson. i Keep Heat Indoors Window house heat. Since 30 per cent of the heat loss in an average home is through the windows, retention of heat is direct- ly affected by wise use of cloth window shades, says the Armour Research Foundation. Window shades which fit the window as tightly as possible give little opportunity for air to cir- culate and provide dead air space between shade and ivindow. This shades help control forms insulation through which heat doés not escape. According to figures of the Foundation, pulling cloth window shades down at night and keeping them half drawn in the daytime can reduce heat loss as much as 42 per cent, saving, in turn, as much as ten per cent on fuel bills, A further saving may be, effect- ed, their research reveals, by keep- ing the window shades fully drawn in rooms not in use.

Mr. Forsythe was visibly dis- _fressed as he staggered into the clubhouse. "What's the matter?" asked a member sympathetically, "Tye just killed my wife," said Forsythe. Good Heavens! How did you do that?" ° > #1 was over on the practice tee and didn't see her coming up be- hind me. I took a back swing and hit her on the head. She dropped dead." "That's tough," said the other member, "What club were you using?" L Somie Of The Most Outstanding Dogs in the Province of Ontario will be on display during the two international all breed dog shows which will be held in conjunction with the Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, and for the benefit of the Toronto Humane Society, in the Coliseum, Toronto, on March 14 and 15, 16 and 17. Here, Sheila Watson. popular = Ontario model, is grooming Brune; perky- tittle dachshund; in preparation for the dog shows. Whether "or not Canada <hould have immediate nation-wide con- scription for military service is a matter than can be left to our _ statesmen and editorial writers; and we notice that the latter--especially those working for opposition papers --are "handing Prime Minister St. Laurent what should be 'plenty of advice on the subject, without any help from us, even if we were ina position to dish out any. a * Which we by no means are. We, personally, managed to sit out hoth World War One and World War Two. pretty miucl as a sideline ob- server, finishing up without taking # nibble at either the war-contracts or war-hero business, greatly to our subsequent regret--although which of the two we now most regret missing is strictly our own affair, Anyway, as already stated, we are not qualified for handing out coun- sel to those who will decide whether the youth of this generation will have to be coaxed into uniform or just-plain ordered to hop into same. IE I ' However, there is one angle to this conscription problem which we have not scen alluded to as yet, yet which definitely touches on sports. » * * *,; As you will probably recall, in World War One, also in World War Two, the United States was considerably slower in taking a hand than was Canada; and we seem to remember several occa- sions, during both those holocausts when there was considerable loud criticism, not to say booing, of various American professional ath- letes for cavortihg on Canadian diamonds in baseball uniforms while our own boys, of comparable age and physical condition, were fight- . ing in military garb. To * » * (If you do not get exactly what we mean, ask any of the baseball boys who played in Toronto during the carly stages of the wars what they used fo be called 'by some of the strong-lunged fans, especially those of the feminine persuasion.) * ¥ : But, right now, the situation is pretty well reversed. South of the Border 'the losses in the "Korean fighting have been hundreds of times greater than ours. Over there they are already calling lads of from eighteen years of age upward for compulsory military service while, with us; such a thing has barely reached the talking stage. * *x Of course, the number of Can- adian bascball players-who do their stuff in the U.S.A. is. negligible.

And we imagine that if this war scare: doesn't blow over soon, which it shows no sign of doing, before very long some of those hockey players will be in for some rather rough evenings in points such "as Chicago, Boston and New York, to mention just a few. When the baseball season rolls around, American fans will know that their diambnd heroes are out there simply because Uncle Whiskers doesn't want - them; but hockey bugs over there, having no such assurance, are liable--we fear--to hecome just a trifle critical, and say it with.eggs and the like. ¥ 5 * Of course, we may be picturing a situation which will never crop up and, for the sake of international amity, we sincerely hope so. Still, it is always best to take what the statesmen call the 'long view" of such situations. Perhaps Frank Selke and Conny Smyth should have a little get-together with the top brass at Ottawa. Maybe they could get the powers-that-be to classify hockey playing as an es-- sential occupation. ---- - ee EY + * i Now, to try and wind up on a slightly" more cheerful note, here's a Dizzzy Dean story which, to us, anyway, was new. It seems that one afternoon big Bill Terry was having a field day batting against the Dizzy one. First he almost knocked Dean's legs from under him with a sizzler through the box. Then he nicked Diz's ear with a rocket liner. Then lie knocked Jerome's glove off his hand with another screamer. : ' * x 0% After calling time, Pepper Mar-. tin strolled over from third base to the mound. "Jerome," he said, "I got a word of advice if you would be so kind as to listen." Be asd "What is "it, Johny?" inquired Dizzy with the same mock formal- ity. » * "It's just this," said the deadpan Pepper. "I-gon't think you're play- "ing this Terry quite deep enough." "J.ook here, Gladys, this turkey tastes like burned feather!" "What strange things you must have catein in your time, John!"

"In" that year, sheep worth $25,000 were driven into the Raft - River Valley," Idaho, "Twenty-four hours . later, they were all dead. Ranchers in Nevada, Utah, Wyo- ming and Idaho have suffered 8imi- lar losses, The: weed. is fatal to sheep but. not necessarily to cattle. But if cattle survive a meal of halo- geton they never grow fat, and they are sterile, . Ek Nine ounces of weed are enough to kill a sheep. What is it in halo- geton that kills? Oxali¢ acid. The mature weed contains as much as 20) per cent of it. # . Z What alarms agricultural author- ities is the rapidity with which halogeton spreads. It simply takes possession of the soil. Each red blossom produces thousands of seeds, and these are carried. by the wind for miles. Whether or not the weed can be controlled and eradicated remains to be seen. The University of lda- ho's College of Agriculture is now experimenting on a strip of land fifty miles long and thirty miles wide. NOTHING SERIOUS A new doctor was the only one available when Mr. Kelly's wife was taken ill. Called to the Kélly hoine, Che wente upstairs to the sick room but came down in a few minutes to inquire: "Have you got i cork- screw?" He took the instrument and went upstairs. for the. second time. Several minutes later he was back. "Got a screwdriver?" he asked the anxious Kelly. Instrument in hand, he went upstairs again. Almost immediately hie was back. "A chisel and a mallet, quickly," he demanded. . The distraught husband could stand it no longer. "For Heaven's sake, . doctor," he begged, "what's the matter with my wife?' "Don't know yet," was the re- ply; "can't get my malicine bag open." Five-year-old Christopher went to a Christmas party in a brand- new suit. When he came home, holes had been cut into . it with a pair of scissors. Fis o- ther gazed at him in consternation. "What did you do to your beau- tiful new suit?" she asked. "We played grocery shops," ex- plained Chris. "T was a piece of cheese." . "HARNESS & COLLARS : Farmers = Attention -- Consult ' your nearest Harness Shop about Staco Harness Supplies.
