The magistrate said to him: "How many States arc there in Europe?" Immediately the boy's counsel got up and, turning to the magis- tmte, said: "Sir, my client hasn't yet had time to read the morning papers and cannot, therefore, give m reliable reply." â€" o â€" Getting R!pe Now men have a reaton For joy and for laughter â€" The cherry pie season Comes shortly hereafter. The Motion Not the Ocean The two land lubbers were in a low-boat in the middle of the «cean. One handled the oars, rowing away for all he was worth. The second sat in the stern stear- Ing the rowboat by means of a makeshift rudder. Suddenly, a passenger liner cmme into view. The man at the oara kept rowing frantically, paus- ing only when the liner crossed the p«th of the rowboat. Then he cupped his hands. "Hey there, on board!" he ahouted. "Is this the Atlantic or the Pacific?" A sailor aboard the big vessel gazed <lown at the rowboat. "This is the Pacific," he shout- ed back. The rudder-man waved his fist kt the oarsman. "You hear that, you dope I" he howled. "I told ycu not to row so fast!" Growled a surly old farmer of Shoreham: "When people trespass, I Ignore 'em. But my bull, who runs free, Has instructions from me To pursue the intruders and gore 'em." Comparisons A Communist, a Fascist and a Ilritish worker were in a boat which capsized, and they started â- wimniing for the shore. The Com- mnnist, accustomed to shouting, forgot to close his mouth, swal- IowkI a lot of water and sank. The Fascist swam for some time, but as he was keeping one arm outstretched in the customary po- iiHion he soon tired and he, too, disappeared. The British worker swam on. He was in sight of the shore when a whistle blew and he automatically Borkc'ii olT work. â€" o â€" , Cure or Sleeplessness Lie as near the edge of Iha bed as possible, and yen may •IT.

How Can I ? BY ANNE ASHLEY <J. â€" How can I quicken the task of preparing lemonade? A. â€" Dissolve the sugar in a lit- tle hot water before adding to the lemonade; it will sweeten quickly and will not sink to the bottom.

A. â€" Dip the pen in vinegar, and then rin.'e with lukewarm water. Q. â€" How can I treat hives? A. â€" Try taking a tcaspoonful of milk of magnesia two or three times a day. Or, dissolve one teaspoonlul cream of tartar in a half glass of water and take be- fore each meal. Q. â€" How can I prevent a thin akin from forming on the top of custard while it is cooling? A. â€" This will not occur if a cloth or sheet of paper is placed over the top of the receptacle while the custard Is cooling. Q. â€" How can I easily remove dog hair, fuzz, and lint from wool- len clothing? A. â€" Wet a rubber sponge, and iqueezc almost dry, then rub over the clothing.

What Science ^ IS Doins ^ NEW GLASS RESISTS TEMPERATURE CHANGES The housewife who has seen cold drinking, glasses shatter when they were filled with hot liquids or washed with hot water would be surprised to see the punishment a new kind of glass will stand. This new glass is so resistent to tem- perature change that the scientists in the research laboratories ot the Corning Glass Works, where it was developed, were able to chill a dish made of it -by embedding It In a cake ot ice and then fill the dish with molten iron without a sign of a crack developing. Its remark- able properties are duo to the fact that It expands and contracts, un- der heat and cold, only one-tenlh as much as ordinary glass. GLAND LIVES OUTSIDE BODY Dr. Alexis Carrell reports in the Journal ot Experimental Medicine tho unique feat ot keeping a hu- man thyroid gland alive for 62 days outside the body. This was done with the Carrell - Lindbergh artificial heart, and with some new substitutes for human blood and scrum, which are one step towards discovery of some artificial fluid which will keep human organs al- ive indefinitely In glass containers. The purpose Is to be able to study them to reproduce exactly what happens to a man's organs In health and in disease. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. â€" When an affair is given in honor of a debutante, in her home, should she receive with her mo- ther? 2. â€" When invited to a dinner party in a restaurant or hotel, does one have the privilege ef choosing his own meal? 8. â€" Should children be allowed to wear nail polish? 4. â€" Just how should a man lift a stiff hat when tipping It to a woman ? 6. â€" AVhen one is smoking at tbe table, in a public dining:room, and there u no ash tray, ii it all rinht to use his plate or a saucer for his ashes? 6. â€" How should a woman writ* her name after the death of her husband? Answers) 1. Yes. She ahould join her friends until all guests have arriv- ed, unless one or two are particu- larly late. Then she should be watchful and ready at all times to be introduced to a late gueat, or speak to one who is leaylng. i, >fo; the host or hostess orders the meal in advance, and ib* guests tat what ia placed btlort them, tha same as at a dinner In y)nn«n*'« <(om^ 8, N.9.

Buy Scouts camps are in full swing in all parts of the Dominion. The total number of camps and of boys attcndintr promises to set a new high record. The camping season for Wind- sor di.s'rict was opened this year by a Saturday afternoon demon- stration camp set up by a Troop of 32 Scouts picked from different groups of the city for their know- ledge of good camping methods. A Wolf Cub camp and several types of Scout camp lay-outs were Ebov.n. with complete cooking and sanitary arrangements. The de- monstrition was attended by a large number of local and outside Scoutcrs. A practical rural good turn carried out Uj' some CO Windsor, Ont., Scouts was the collection and burning of old cornstalks on an Essex County farm infested with the corn borer. The work was done under the guidance of the county agricultural represen- tative and a corn borer inspector. The Scouts made 30 large bon- fires of the stalks, and incidental- ly used them for roasting hot dogs. One of the four members of the special bodyguard for Queen El- izabeth by the R.C.M.P. at Regina was formerly Scout James Cough- lin of the 9th Winnipeg Troop. He at one time held the Dominion amateur middleweight boxing championship. The playgrounds of the new Central Park at St. Thomas, Ont, are being supervised this summer by Rover Scouts. In return for the service the Rovers will have the use of a park building as a meeting place, or "Rover den." Casa Loma New exhibits at Casa Loma in- clude model of S.S. Queen Mary.

Best Detectives Ordinary People Scotland Yard Finds Its Top Crime Experts Rise From The Ranks After a comparatively short trial, Scotland Yard has abolished the experiment of getting young men from Kugby, Harrow, Chart- erhouse and other famous schools where the sons of wealthy people are prepared for the universities, and putting them on crime detec- tion. They had high-powered cars of their own, capable of speeds up to 100 miles an hour, and were turned on to manhunts whenever fast action was i-equired. But al- though they proved themselves ex- pert drivers they were just that; as detectives they were no good. Experience has shown that the best detective is the man who has risen from the patrols. Nearly every Scotland Yard man was an ordinary policeman first of all. The most noted men the Y'ard ever had, men like Wensley, Gough, Carling and many others who solved the worst crimes in modern annals, rose from the ranks. After all, in any occupation, there is no more reliable servant than the man who has been train- ed from the ground up and gon. through the mill.
