quoted the story of uttle jack homer written in a style that we thought the poet ro bert burns might have used this week we give you the same story writ ten by the same person but in a totally different style we dont think that you will have any difficulty though in recognising the well known poet that the same writer was trying to 1ml tate this time you can see jack homer sittln in the corner of the kitchen with his little dish of puddln on his lap if the dish you try to collar you can bet your bottom dollar that youll find he aint indulgin jn a nap for he shoves his uttle thumb to when he hears a person oomin and hqpioke the biggest plum that he ojifi see and fc makes this observation an the present situation guess you wont find no one els as good as me we usually have our copy for this column written at least a week before it appears in print and we would be ftxalsh therefore to write anything concerning the war as it would in an probability be ancient history by the tune that you might read it however the fall of tobruk is an excuse to look up the map of the mediterranean and we can easily see how the fall of this fortress will help to make the passage of the sicilian channel to the west more safe for british shipping to the west and north of the island of sicily lies the island of sardinia an island that also belongs to italy in early history the greeks settled on this is land and at that time a noxious pols onous weed was growing on it that caused anyone eating it to die of laughter thus we have the word sardonic as pertaining to laughter another word that we get from the romans is the word salary a word that most of us aren t as familiar with as we would like to be the roman soldiers at one time received a por tion of their pay in salt and it was from this practise that we get the word salary walker free after dramatic trial y ey pve you taken note of your glasses lately your eyes map have changed and ab jour glasses need to mb renewed it la bettor

electric lighting as you no doubt know it is the very latest in llghtg and strange as it may seem has been installed in almost all parts of the dominion with the ex oeptlon of this thickly populated pan of ontario that gets its power from the niagara system of course them is a reason for this until very re cently it could not be used satisfac torily on 25 cycles as the rest of our country except that served by tb niagara system is on 60 cycles they could therefore obtain this modern lighting system ahead of us- just recently a device has been invented to overcome the difficulty of using it on 35 cycle power and we understand that some installations have been mad- that are giving every satisfaction so that the new system win no doubt soon be familiar to all of us comparing this new system with our present in candescent aytsem we find thai it is totally different the lamps are some what similar mabape to a tightly wound window bund a 30wau lamp is 34 inches long and 1 inches in diameter a 40wadt lamp is 48 inches long and a 40watt lamp gives ap proximately the same amount of light as does a loowatt incandescent lamp the lamps last longer tban those in use at present they use much less juice to give the same amount of light give off very uttle heat m com parlson and the- is more like daylight we should have mention ed that as a result of using less power they are therefore cheaper to operate owing to the shape of the lights they are not surtshle for domestic use how ever they are suitable for stores public hpidlngs of all klndsqsucb as balls ana rinks and they are especially suitable for factories in fact they are being installed in munition factories at pres ent and are a help in speeding up production true it does cost a uttle more to install this modem system but the saving effected in power costs soon pays for the higher installation coats thanks mr editor for the lntroduc tion in last weeks issue we had hoped though to slhf into some corner
