The latest recruit had celebrated his Saturday leave by returning to barracks with two lovely black eyes and a face like an over-ripe to- mato. The sergeant-major let off steam in the old-taahloned style. "Report to the guardroom at ouoe, you blithering numskull!'' he roared. "Aud while you're about it, hang your faca out of the window as a warning to your pals as they come In." Passing the guardroom about an luur later the sergeant major espied thie recruit with his face at the win- dow. "Anybodr aeen you yet?" he bawl- ed out "Yes, sir," said the recruit, "the colonel has Just passed.'' "And what did he have to say to Seek Erosion Relief ...,.,:â-  Al.a U. Ada.,,, CoK; Septor Morr.

THE EMPIRE HIS NIBS. The new Oflloo of Works order restricliiig the l.s.suo of toilet soap to civil servants to one tablet per per- son every two months recalls a sitory of Sir \V. S. Gilbert's youtii- ful experience In a (iovernment of- fice. His cliief, a rigid economist, strictly regulated the Issue of sta- tionery. He allowed each clerk 12 pen nibs a month, but on one occa- sion accidmitaily gave Gilbert 13. Gilbert went to him at once, deter- mined to make the best of hLs op- portunity, 'llf you please, sir," he began. "In regard to my allowance of nibs â€" ." "i cannot discuss the matter," snapped the oliief, rising to the bait; "1 cuii.slder twelve nibs an ample allowance for any clerk." "Certainly, sir," replied Gilbert. "I have no wish to question your wisdom. J merely wi.sli to report that I have received thirteen nibs, and have hastened to you with the superfiiious one in order that it may be returned to store at once." â€" Manchester Guardian. ADVICE TO FARMERS Dr. Viljoen strongly urges upon farmers the recognition and adop- tion oit two fundamental points of agricultural practice that iiave been consistently preached by the Sunday Times for years; UHmely, that tlie supply of Htockfeed tan never be too large for o country like South Afri- ca; and that experience gained as a neeuit of drought and depressiou must be applied In practice. Kvon in times of eoniiparative prosperity, he says, [farmers snould aecoiH the pro- position tliHt depressions, like droughts, are natural phenomena, and should always bear in lutnd that "the uneconomic burdens with which they saddle themselves will bo so much more unbearable when the in- evitable stringency occurs." He Is convinced tliat If farmers proceed aloog these lines they will have nothing to fear for the future.â€" Joh- annesburg Times, SEEKING MORE TRAINING The traiiedy of the lack of em- ployment for boys of school-leaving age is rollected in the eagerness with which technical education is sought, and in the inability of the existing schools to meet the de- mands made upon them. Boys and parents recognize that in the com- petition for work the trained boy is the only one who has a chance of recognition among the multitude of applicants. On the reopening of the schools after the Christmas holidays it was found impossible to meet all the demands for enrolment. 1Vre Australasian. Princess Louise Patron of Art Queen Vicioria's Daughter Studied Sculpture Herself Queen Victoria's daughter Prin- cess Louise, w.bo was 87 years old March 19. atill lives in the part of Keni-lngton Palace where her moth- er was born and where its years ago her mother learned that she was a Queen. Princess Louise's statue of Queen Victoria as a young woman '.'till regards tie children In the Hoard Walk in Kensington Palace Gardens, and the children, according to Barrie. call It "the penny queen" through associations with the Queen In the Victoria pennies." Princess Louise, who is the King's aunt, Jmd the reputation of being llie best-dressed daughter of Queen Victoria, and It is said by her friends at court that W; the years go on she is better and better dressed and a model to all elderly women. Her husband, the Duke of Arpyll, died in 1914. She still has *ier estate of Roseheath and goes to Scotland for Some months every year. Prlnofiss Louise had several artist friends, tfhe chief of them Sir Edgar Hoehm, who taught her sculpture, and Sir John Millals. She took her art as, she took lite, very seriously. She never went to Ascot or Kpsom and prob.Tibly never attended a race meeting, and al- thoug<!i she went to Marlborough House to dinner she never attended a dance there and never danced at a court ball. It was through lier intercession that Queen Victoria waived her rule never to receive women whose mar- riages had been divorced or annul- led, and at one time iier parties at Kensington Palace were the only ones In royal society where artisUs could be seen. Soviet Prisons Groups From The United States To Study Penal Conditions 43 The problem ot crime and pun- ishment in Russia ihis year is at- tracting the attention of studenK? of penology and social science. The va- rying accounts of the Soviet penal system that have come to the Unit- ed States have prompted organized groups to sei6 what Russia does â- with her wrong-doers. Joseph Fulling Klshman -will lead such a group this .summer, sailing July 10. "Kits group will arrive in Lenin- grad on July 22 and remain in Rus- sia unHI Aug. 21, making trips to reformatories, jails and Juvenile in- stitutions In the interior. The form- er sumnier palace of the Czars at Tsarskoe Selo, which is now a chil- dren's institution, will iwovWe the first view of the Russian system. Then come Petrozavodsk, capital of the Soviet Karelian Republic, the fishing village-^ along Lake Onega aud Medvezhia Gora. which was the base of huilding operations ot the Baltlc-Wliite Sea canal project, one of Russia's new waterways. The city prison ot Leningrad, the People's Coniml sariat ot Justice at Moscow, tihe Xorvitskl prison for w^o- iiien, the Institute ifor Judicial Psy- chiatry, the Kharkov institute for the protection ot workers' health and various communes and model citie«3 which have been built tor the children of workers are on the Itin- erary of the group. This is only one ot many groups that will head for Russia during the ."umnier; many will observe opera- tions and others will reimain In one or another of tihe Ru> sian universit- ies to study more intensely the phil- osophy of the new Russia.

Collector of Old Cars Finds The Hobby Profitabli VV!ien a movie producer or an au- luniobile maker wants a car of anoi lent vintage the chances are that H. K. Twohy. of Los Angsiles can suppljr it. He collects old automobiles and owns one of the world's largest fleet of antique cars in running order. A suprisingly profitable business has developed from the collection that be started as a hobby, witii the pur- chase of a 1902 Pierce-Arrow. Wherever Twohy drove this acqul* sitlon crowds gathered. A merchant, .seeing the display value of the relic, p.iid Twohy to place advertisements on it. Then a movie company hired it. Twohy began buying obsolete cart repaintin.? and reconditioning them, and sending them forth to advertlsa his enterprise. When his machines found Increasing demands for auto siiows, parades, motion pictures, and advertising purposes, he offered ca.-ih rewards for information as t» where cars 20 years or more old could be found. Today bis coUectioa numbers 25 such cars Including an 1898 Hayes-Apperson. a 1908 Ford and a 1911 White Steaoner. A modern motorist would be at a loss to handle these old-timers and Twohy and his two sons are the only ones who drive them. With the pas- sing of time tlie cars â- will become in- creasingly valuable â€" a veritable mu- seum on wheels, and a profitable one One large collection ot automotive antiquitie.H has been made by anoth- er Californian, David Gray, Jr., ot Montecito, whose 36 cars, all in per- fect running order, include a one- cylinder CadlUac, a one-cylinder Oliismobile, and a revolutionary two- cylinder Peerless, all ot 1902. . ...Mr. Gray, whose father 'nas one of the first partner.! and backers of Henry Ford, insists that each car added to his collection must be able to come up to the gates under its own power«a!id that every part oit the car must be the maker's original part. BLOOD TESTS WIU PROVE NON-PATERNITY Blood Groupings To Aid In,- Deciding Legitimacy Of Children Brooklyn â€" The application ot blood grouping testa developed at the Jewish Hospital of Brooklyn, and embodied in legislation Just enacted in New York state, ia explained by Dr. A. S. Wiener, asaoclate in t-he di- vision of genetics and blmetrics at the Jewish hospital. They may be used In cases of dis- puted paternity. The presumption that all children born In lawful wed- lock are legitimate may be overcome said Dr. Wiener, by scientific proot that the husband could not be the father of the child. Thus, It the mother belongs to group "A" the C''.ifld to group "B." and the husband to group "A." the husband could not be the father of the child, since the ohlld possesses a .â- substance 'â- B" which neither ot the supposed parents liaa. "The tests," Jie added, "can only be used to prove non-i>aternity, and not to prove paternity. ....In criminal cases. Dr. Wiener field, the blood grouping tests are valuable for purposes of Identification. He cited as an example the case c>( a criminal who escai>ed after being pursued and wounded by police.' Seme ot the criminal's blood left at the scene of the crime is grouped and found to belong to Group "B" and type "M". Later, aeveral individ- uals are apprehended, aud it ta knowu tha^t one of Oieas lias comjnlt ted the crime. .\11 Individuals except, those belonging to group "B" type "M," can be eliminated immediately.
