In ancient times and in the modern world a vitality has gone out from its savage moun- tains and fertile glens which few countries, sleeping in the sun, have been able to e<iual. Full of Vitality The Norse people, 1,000 years ago, bestowed their enduring blood on neighboring regions over an arc ot thousands of miles. England, in particular, but also Scotland, Ire- land and northern France, are also partly Norse. This infusion was not by choice ot the peoples infused, but was the consequence of raids performed by the dreaded Vikings over two centuries. The Vikings were not called benefactors by their con- temporaneous victims, but such the countries have proved them to be, for the Viking drops in the na- tive streams have certainly had a quickening effect. Have You Heaid "So you remember away back bo the Revolution, do you?" ask- ed a gentleman of an old Negro. "Yassah â€" de Revolution an' Gin'l Washington an' all dem. Sure do." "Perhaps you were a witness to the fall of Rome." "No, sah. Ah didn't see it, but Ah recollec' hearin' somethin' drop." â€" o â€" "That's a fine girl you've married," said the Old Friend. "Yes," said the Angler, absent-mindedly, "but you should have seen the one that got away." â€" oâ€" Jimmy, who had been climbing trees, came in for the second time with his trousers torn. "Go upstairs and mend them yourself," ordered his harassed mother. Some time later, she went up to see how he was getting on. The trousers were there, but no Jimmy. Puzzled, she came downstairs, noticing as she passed that the cellar door, usually shut, was open. She went to the door, called down loudly and angrily, "Are you run- ning about down there without your trousers on?" The reply came sternly: "No, madam, I'm reading the gas me- ter." There was a young woman c;-.IIed Lena Who bought a new vacuum clena; But while working one day She got in the way. And since then nobody hat sena. -•-0- â€" The following sign is posted by the roadside as you enter a West- ern town : â€" 4.076 people died last year of gas. 29 inhaled it. 47 put a lighted match to it. 4.000 stepped on it. â€" â€" "Can you tell me wbjr Hit- ler has remained a bachelor?" "No... Why?" "Because he strongly ob- jects to any form of encircle- mcnt." How Can I ? BY ANNE ASHI EY Q. â€" How can I clean out the holes in the coffee holder of the percolator?

A. â€" One of the best remedies is to powder the stockings with one part of chlorinated lime, one part prepared chalk, and one part of powdered starch. .A.lso bathe the feet daily in cold water. Q. â€" How can I remove indelible ink stains from a garment? A. â€" Equal parts of turpentine and ammonia will remove these stains. Saturate the cloth thor- oughly in this solution, allow to soak for a few minutes, and then rinse well in warm water. Q.â€" How can I make a good whipped cream substitute? A. â€" Grate one apple, add two or three tablespoons of sugar and one egg white, then beat until light. SCOUTING It is taken for granted titat the Boy Scouts of Canada will rise to the situation created by the new war for the preservation of democ- racy, as did their predecessors of Scout age during the period of the "Great War" of 1914-18. While strictly non-military, in accordance with the principles of the organization, the service was of great practical value through- out the war. Indeed it is not too much to say that but for the or- ^nization -and training which made the Boy Scouts of 1914 im- mediately available, some of the important civilian activities inci- dental to the war would have mov- ed at a slower pace. â€" â€" In practically every city, town and village, the Scouts were there, in troops onr singly, to run mes- sages on wheel or afoot, to help at a refreshment booth, 'a bazaar, a fund-raising entertainment; to iLsher at meetings, or wash dishes in a Red Cross kitchen. .A.S the general war work devel- oped their activities broadened. They were used in connection with Victory Loan campaigns, and Red Cross, Y.M.C.A., and other patriotic fund drives. They met troop trains, and acted as guides and messengers. Later they met the trains of returning sick and wounded, carried their luggage, and assisted in every way possible. â€" â€" At Halifax, Saint John, Quebec and Montreal, they met hospital ships. In the country districts they aided farmers whose farm hands had joined up. Many city boys also did long weeks of farm labour, through the harvest or the fruit season, without pay, or turn- ed their earnings over to the Red Cross. â€" â€" The wives and families of soldi- ers overseas were looked after. One Toronto Troop, in addition to a large war garden of its own, planted and tended 15 gardens for the wives of soldiers. In smaller Fingerprints Never Change Fifty- Year Test Shows Their Permanence W. N. Jennings, ot Philadelphia, has completed a fifty-year test ot the permanence ot fingerprints. He has reported to the Institute ot Ap- plied Science. Chicago, a compari- son between a print ot his right hand made fifty years ago and one made recently. He made the first print a halt century ago for the purposs ot ascertaining whether the configurations on the skin ot the fingers, then proposed as a means of identification, would re- main unchanged during lite. When the test period was reached he ag- ain made a print of his right hand. It shows that tho characteristic lines on the fingers have not changeil and that it would still be possible to identify him from the halt-century-old print. The old and new prints are published in "The Journal" ot the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. Movies* Value In Education Dr. B. V. Morkovin, head ot the cinematosraphy department ot the University ot California at Los Angeles, believes that moving pic- tures are becoming more import- ant in education. Ur. Morkovin, a recent visitor to Winnipeg worked with Walt Disnoy. creator ot ani- mated cartoons, lor fiv» years in an advisory capacity. In the cinematography depart- ment at th& university, first ot its kind in America, students are also taught both the technical and dra- matic side ot firm production. .\nd they are trained to become direc- tors, technicians, sound men and studio operatives. Dr. Morkovin has a film special- ly designed for those with poor hearing. "It teaches lip reading and is an innovation th.it will be used more and mori> .as time goes on." he also said.

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE I • > â-  • • I 1. â€" Should a person listen to gossip ? 2. â€" Isn't it considered inexcus- able for a guest to be late when invited to dinner? 3. â€" Is a house guest supposed to keep her bedroom in a neat con- dition? 4. â€" Should a man omit the Mr. on his business cards? 5. â€" What is the real definition of a coquette? 6. â€" May one use the knife to cut open a muffin? Answers 1. â€" ^'o. When one listens to gossip, it 13 merely encouraging a bad habit in the other person. It has been wisely said that "Nar- row-minded and ignorant persons talk about people and not things, hence, gossip is the bane of the age." 2. â€" Yes, it is very inconsid- erate and rude unless, of course, the delay is caused by illness, an accident, or some such reason. Un- der those circumstances it would be inconsiderate of the hostess to resent the guest's delay. 3. â€" Yes, by all means. Otherwise she is offen a "one time guest." 4. â€" Yes. His card should read, .\rthur L. Harris. Only such prefixes as Dr. and Rev. are used on a busi- ness card. 5. â€" Webster says, "A woman who endeavors without af- fection to attract men's amorous attention, especially by playful arts; a flirt." 6. â€" No. Bread of all kinds should be broken with the fingers, never cut.

Numbers of Scouts gave valu- able service in hospitals, one Win- nipeg Scout putting in a total of some 600 hours in hospital at- tendance. One Toronto Scout was credited with 690 hours at the folding and packing of bags at a Red Cross depot. ._ â€" â€" The above records were noted in connection with the award of spe- cial Scout war service badges, of which 2,485 were issued by pro- vinces as follows: British Colum- bia, 118; Alberta, 132; Saskatche- wan, 390; Manitoba, 231; Ontario, 864, Quebec, 494; New Brunswick, 100; Nova Scotia, 156. West Indies Seen As New Dominion "A Londoner's Diary" in the (London, England) Evening Standard said yesterday the West Indies Commission will recom- mend that a new dominion be created to be known as. "The Do- minion 9f the West Indies." The West Indies now have the status of crow^r colonies. The diary said the commission will also reccoui end extension of small holdiasjs. enabling large, non-productive estate.i to be di- videt* to grow fo.d. Establish- ment of a West iTi'iies university •vil! also be recommended. The diary predicts the report will be delayed until December through differences between Lord Moyne, chairinan of the commis- sion, and Sir Walter Citrine, sec- retary of the Trades Union Coun- il. Advantages Of Fall Ploughing It Facilitates Elarly Seeding of Cereal Crops â€" Superior On Heavy Soils Experiments conducted by the Field Husbandry Division, Domin- ion Experimental Farms, have now shown that shallow ploughing pro- duces as high yields as deep ploughing at a considerable saving in power requirements. Further- more, tillage beyond that required required for weed control and rea- sonably good seed bed preparation has no beneficial effect on yields. Surface Cultivation la many districts ot the Prairi* Provinces, ploughing for summer- fallow has be&n largely dispeuia< with in favour of the "pIoughlMl tallow" by surface cultivation. U Eastern Canada, ploughing sa4 land in the summer with after-hip vest cultivation where weeds in troublesome, and ploughing in laU tall oa less weedy land, have boti proved superior to spring ploughi Ing, especially on heavy soils. Oat advantage ot summer or fall ploughing is that it facilitates th< early seeding ot cereal crops tha( experiments have clearly showa tl be very desirable. fl Elephants are being thinnad out in South Africa because thai damage crops.
