Starlings Saved Crop Kvery now and a^ain the Star's wonderinfif reporter, Dan McDonald, runs across something that appears to upset the usual ornithological data. Now, from Harry Collins, of Echo Bay, he (jets a testimony in favor of the starlinpf, bounties for the killing of which are offered in many sec- tions. Mr. Collins says the starlings last year ate the cutworms and saved his crop. N'ext, please. Recipe For Long Life Perhaps the only reliat)l(> recipe for long life is a discriminate choice of parentajje and ancestry. We- once heard Sir Oliver Lodiro say that a human being at birth is endowed with a definite amount of vitality, which, barring accidents, will maintain life for a certain period of years, and no more. One thing is certain, and that Is that human beings are never in- tended to live on Indf-finltfly, othei^ wise the planet would become over- crowded and the ri.sing generation would never pet a chance. "Here we have no abiding city." . â€" Stratford Beacon-Herald. From Afar Bicycles In Traffic A boy on a bicycle and another playing "tag" on the .streets were killed in Toronto. We have noticed that some boys on bicycles ride as though they were playing "tiig" with the motor traffic. There should be .-^ome rule of the road for bicycles. â€" Stratford Beacon-Herald. Status Of The Ladies Mrs. Geo. K. Mayo has been ap- pointed supervisor for radio receiv- ing licenses in Perth County. Should ladies be appointed to all those jjosi- tions, a householder will s»on not know whether a lady visitor is a wel- come guest or is ju-st another inspec- tor, to see if you have th^praper col- lection of licenses or permits. â€" The Stratford Beacon-Hcraldi Doesn't Jutt Seem Longer All in all, it seemed clear that mariage is distinctly beneficial to the health of the individual. The married person's life is better regulated with regard to sleeping hours, meals and recreation. Most husbands have a strong sense of responsibility to their families which makes them avoid conditions likely to impair their capacity as wage-earners; they, therefore, shun known sources of infection and haz- ardous adventures. Moreover, married couples have a solicitous regard for each other's health which often insures timely medical attention to condition which, in single individuals, are likely to be ignored until the damage is beyond repair. â-  â€" Brockville fteeorder and Times.

L'l LONDON â€" Twcnty-six-year-old Sylvia Sidney fitted a fresh cigarette into her holder and said, "I don't want to talk aliout my marriage." But she did talk about marriage, with a feeling which nmst have been informed by her own recent â€" and first â€" experience of it, which ended in the divorce court after seven months. FAME NOT THE WRECKER "I deny that marriages among Hollywood people last less long thaji others," she said. "They seem to â€" but only because every break-up is so much publicized. "My own marriage would have been just the same if I had been an unknown stenographer. But at least I wouldn't have gone to business each morning among people who were looking for the first sign of a glum face so that they could lick their lips and say, 'Well, that's gone on the rocks.' "I don't think fame has any- thing to do with happy marriage. It is the relationship between twD human beings by themselves that succeeds or not. "The danger lies in the people themselves. What marriage teaches you is that to make it succeed it re- quires the finest kind of people. It reipilres more gcuoroslty, tolerance, sympathy and patience than it is possible to iinagi?ie before you have been married, "It doesn't take long to find out if you've made a mistake. WHO KNOWS 'f "That doesn't mean there is any- thing wrong with marriage. The fault is in the people. They will probably try it all over again later." "Will you?" I asked. The answer was a raised shoulder, a raised eyebrow, a quick "who knows?" and a change of subject. Miss Sidney, who earns £000 a week, says she would go crazy with- out work to do. "I never talk shop," she says. "When I finish a film that's the end of it. I can't even remember the lines I spoke or the names of the characters." She has one feature the .screen - even in color â€" has never brought out. Shy blue eyes, with a fleck of brown in the right one. Beach Skirts Are Worn Over Shorts "Sleeping Beauty^ To Have Long Life She Can See and Hear, Bui Can't Speak Nor Move *. Color Schemes Brighter; Un- crushable Lioen Dresses Foreign Students Chosen for Canada KINGSTON, Ont.â€" A student from France and one from (iermany will represent their countries as exchange students at Queen's University the coming session. They are Daniel Vil- froy and Carole Kreuger. Both are maturn students and both expect to come to Kingston with their doctor's degree they are now completing. Vilgroy is 24 and has studied at Sedan and Paris. Miss Kreuger is also '-'4 and has studied at Bonn, Ber- lin and Koslock. She is the daughter of a German government official. Jack Henley of Oshawa and Edna Lorimer of Brockville represented Queen's abroad last term. These stu- dents will be replaced next term by Murray Cowie of Peterborough and Bernard O'Beirn of Toronto. Bank of Canada $2.00 Bills Raised by Counterfeiter OTTAW.-V The Bank of Canada disclosed recently search was being made for a man who had raised three or four of the bank's bills by skilful art work, faking a $'^ bill into a $20 on one occasion. Governor Graham Towers said he believed there were not more than four of the bills in circulation and that they had been traced in Ontario and Manitoba. PARIS, â€" Dress houses here are presenting their fir.st cruise and their beach clothes. The dresses or skirts vary considerably In style, but they invariably are worn with shorts, that are either short and tight or are made to look like knee-leni;th skirts. The latter are either flared or pleated and aro seen most freiincntly in uncrush- able linen. The cobT scheme.'? are gayer and brii;hter than usual, in contrast to the sobriety of spring clothes, which were somewhat affected by the period of mourning in English court circles. A |iair of brown linen beach shorts are worn with a briaht orange woolen Jer- sey and a full-longth coat of brown lineu . Beach dresses in uncrusUable linen look tailored enough to be wiru on tlio street with a shallow-crowned, largn-brimmed linen hat, to match. But on the beach, a cape, jacket or .shirt can be unbuttoned to reveal brief shorts and a brassiere top. The halter necks still are the most popu- lar as the entire bark can be left bare and open to the sun. 'Heach trousers have replaced pa- Jamas, with an accompanying tailored and a backless blouse of briiiht print for beach wear. For cruising, the blouse is replaced with a sleeveless silk Jersey sweater with a turtle nock. ED.MO.N'TOX, â€" Fresh from the bed side diagnosis of Patricia McGuire, Oak Park's famous "Sleeping Beauty" Dr. Rene Cruchet, neurologist and pe- diatrician of the University of Bord- eau.v, France, said here that the girl will proliably live to be a ripe old age â€" a living mummy. World famed for Uia discovery of encephalitis lethargica, dread malady which leaves its victims paralyzed. Dr. Cruchet has been doing research work as guest professor at the univer- sities in Now Orleans and Chicago. He exani.ned Patricia who has been a.sleop since February 13. 19.12, and ou his Edmonton visit said she had apptarcil to hear and understand everything he said to her. •'Tears appeared In her eyes whea I .spoke of her sickness," said the far- famed medico. His diagnosis convinced him that the ' Sleeping Beauty" of Oak Park la condemned to live for years, seeing and bearing what is going on about her, but unable to move or apeak â€" in other words, living a lifeless life. The noted specialist looks like the popular conception of a Frenchman. He is alight and wears a generous beard. He left Edmonton headed for Ottawa. Still Hold Hope For Suffrage in Quebec MONTREAL â€" The Woman SpX- rage Bill was defeated in the Legisla- tive Assembly at Quebec because the "party whips cracked," F. A. Monk, the sponsor of the bill, declared at the annual meeting of the League for the Women's Rights here. Mr. Monk said he saw no reason for discouragement. He believed that the next year there would be a changed mentality and that the members would feel "free to vote." When the women of Quebec do get the vote they will know a good deal about it. Mrs. Pierre Casgrain said aa she outlined the efforts that had been made to reach the people throughout the province and interest them in the cause. Swim.iiing baths can now be kept pure and safe for use by means of a new Dutch process of filtration, which calls in the help of a certain microbe tj fight any disease bacteria in the water. Stunning and Cool Distinct Shortage In Domestic Help Toronto Hniploynient Agents Say There Is Need for Coolcs TORONTO, â€" There Is a distinct shortage of domestic help especially j of experienced cook-s;enerals. accord- ing to the information given to the Evening Telegram, l)0th by Miss L, O. ! R, Kennedy, head of the women's dl- i vision, Employment Service of Can- ' ada, and by Miss Ada Ross, in charge of tho Young Woman's Christian .\sso- elation employment buseau. "-â- M this time of year the scarcity of exi)erieneed help Is always acute," , said Miss Kennedy. "Golf dubs and .summer hotels are opening, and many girls and women prefer such work to' ositlnns In private homes.'" Toronto has 2,550 unmarried women on relief, hut Miss Kennedy pointed out it would be incorrect to infer they should be in domestic work. Miss Kennedy stated that during tho last few years many Toronto girls and women prcvir)usly in "white col- lar" positions had. on the Employ- 1 meat Service's advice, turned to do- 1 me;;tic work. Others had not been urg- } ed to do so because they lacked tho robust physique or liecanse their tem- perament was such as to make it evi- dent the switch would be unsuccess- ful. To Check Cheating Among Pensioners WINUSOU, Ont. -- 111 a move to stamp out "chiselling" among recipi- ents of old age pensions Essex County Council decided recently to furnish each municipality in the county with a list of pensioners every three months so a constant check can be made on those being supported in part by the municipalities. j The discussion of pension chisel- ' ling was marked by the declaration of Reeve Robert Atkin, of Maiden, ' that politicians are largely respon- I sible for pensions being granted to undeserving persons. He claime<l , that office-holders frequently exert their pcditical influence to have pen- sions granted to constituents after the local pensions officials have re- jeiled the applications. ; Tho first admiral ever appointed was William de Leybournt, who was made .\dmiral of the Knglish Seas by Eilward I, in the vear 1207.
