. > I* 1 SCOUTING At the conclusion of a dispute with his landlady the lodger re- marked icily: "1 presume you will allow me to take my belongings with me when I leave your house ?" "I'm sorry," said the landlady, "but your other collar hasn't coma back from the laundry yet." On this emrtbly Microcosm May each "ism* A "w»sm." be The furious diner bellowed to waiter: "What's the matter with you, man? I began with fish and now you've brought me soup. Surely you know that soup comes first?" "Yes, sir, quite, sir," said the waiter, in a whisper, "but between ourselves, sir, the fish couldn't wait any longer." â€" o â€" "What became of that port- able garage of your*?" "I tied the dog to it the other day and a cat came by." â€" o â€" Two friends met in the street. Ore of them remarked on the dirty state of the other's hands. "Why," he exclaimed, "your hands are covered in soot." "That's because I was down at the station seeing my wife away," replied his friend. "But how does that affect your hands?" "Well, I patted the engine." Mistress "This pie is abso- lutely burned, Nora. Did you make it according to instruc- tions in the cook book?" Nora â€" "No, Ma'am, it's my own cremation." An important nesting colony of American White Pelican has been located in Lavallee Lake, Prince Albert National Park, Saskatche- wan. One of the showiest in North America, this great white bird has the fascinating habit of sailing in great wide circles, as if for enjoy- ment. Man Trains Dogs By Biting Them Joseph W. Lawler, bartender and dog trainer of Waltfaam, Mass., can't see why it should be news when a man bites a dog â€" he does it almost every day. Lawler, who trains dogs at a farm in Weston, explained that his method of curing a vicious dog was first to 'et the dog bite him and then bite the dog right back. Sweet peas were first grown successfully in 1700 by Dr. Uve- dale, an English schoolmaster. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE MODERN ETIQUETTE t 1. When a man and a woman are engaged to be married, isn't it permissible foi thefh to kiss in public, and otherwise show their devotion? 2. Is it necessary for a man to thank a woman for a dance? 3. In which hand should the fork be held when conveying food to the mouth, and the knife is not required? 4. Isn't it a mark of ^ood breeding when a stranger who ia asked a question extends a cour- teous reply? 5. When a man brings an unex- pected guest home to dinner, should the wife apologize for the scanty meal? 6. What is the minimum that one should tip a waiter in a dining car? Ans /-ers: 1. No. Such demonstrations should be reserved for their pri- vacy. It shows very poor taste for them to display their love in public, and provokes unkind com- ments and criticism among their associates. 2. Yes; at the end of the dance. If it has lasted only one minute, or thirty, the man should say "Thank you." 3. Tha right hand. 4. Yes, decidedly so. A well-bred person is always cour- teous in his manner of speech. As the old proverb says, "Civil, obliging language costs but 'ittle, and doth a great deal of good."." 0. Never. She should serve exact- ly what she has on hand, without the least apology Oi embarrass- ment. 6. Fifteen to twenty-five cents. How Hitler Has Encircled Himself AllJ.oUKii Ueifhsfr.shrer Hitler has repeatedly excused his aggression to the east by the complaint that Germany was being encircled by her foes no one has done more to complete an iron ring around the Keich than the fuehrer himself. He did it by tying up with Soviet Russia. The map explains how.

One of the summer's outstand- ing examples of Boy Scout first aid work was that rendered by two St. Catharines lads when 31 pas- sengers were injured in the teles- coping of two electric interurban cars. Among the first on the scene. Scouts Gordon Clarkson, 16, and Wilfred Locking, 15, helped pas- sengers through the windows, then proceeded to give first aid.

Situation Here Attacked Quebec Leads Dominion in the Cases and Deaths Quebec leads all other provinces In the number of tuberculosis cas- es and the deaths caused by lbs disease, Dr. J. E. Dube, president ot the Brucbesi Institute, said last week in Montreal. Canada Slow Combatting It Dr.-<Dube pointed out that sever- al new sauatoriums have been op- ened in the province recently but there was still a great need for beds. Quebec abounded in workers but lacked money for the work he said. A campaign against tuberculosis had been conducted in the United States for the past 40 years with decided progress. Dr. Dube stated. In Canada, progress had been a lot slower, thus falling to chMk properly the heavy annual death toll. I How Can I? i BY ANNE ASHI EV Q. â€" How can 1 keep cheese moist?

BELIEVE STARS MUCH NEARER Discovery of a special bending of starlight near the time of sun- rise and sunset, due apparently to peculiar waves on the top of the earth's amtosphere, has been an- nounced at Columbia University. The discovery affects the basic measurements as astronomical dis- tances. It shrinks the estimates of the size of the Milky Way, and in- dicates that many stars familiar to the naked eye are two or three times nearer than has been believ- ed. About 5,000 stars are affected.

Baffin Island Baby Amazed City Seems Weird and Wonder* ful to Child Bom in North When little three-year-old San- dra Thom arrived in Toronto with her mother from the frozen north- land country of the Hudson Straits she started wide-eyed at the large buildings of a modem city. She was the first white child to be born at Pangnirtung, Baffin Island. Mrs. Thom lived with her hus- band, a post manager of the Hud- son's Bay Company who has tra- velled the Northwest Territories for 20 years, until she learned of his transfer to Wolstenholme, where there is no doctor or even police post.

It was the blowing up of a large boul- der with six sticks of dynamite. Paul Bourdage, French-Canadi.iu farmer o( the fifth concession, of Westminster, said that when his plough struck the huge rock, tos- sing him betwc-en the horses, ho had to do something about it. So with the aid ot a neighbor he decided to blast. The huge rock blew into pieces and left a crater in the ground.

Must Keep Milk Clean And Cool If It b To SUy Swert â€" Bm- teria Are Everywhere There is only one way to keep milk sweet, and that is to keep It clean and cool. The milk as pro- duced by the cow is practically all tree from baoteria, and will keep for a long tlnu) If not allowed to become contaminated with b«^' â- - ia from the air, dirty utensils, or other sources. One should ' 'ep In •mind that bacteria are everywhere and that It is very hard to keep them out ot anything that one is handling. When th bacteria get Into 'he milk th«y grow and act on the milk sugar, forming lactic acid and thus causing sour milk. Use Sterile Utensils It you take the milk as the cow produces it and handle it In such a manner tha;t the bacteria count Is low, you can keep it sweet for a long time by keeping it at a temp- erature of 4S degrees Paarenheit or below. The reason we want to keep It cool Is that bacteria grow very slowly at a temperature !>•• low 46 degrees Fa: nheH, while they grow very rapidly at ordinary tt>mperatures. The way to handle milk so that it will keep sweet la to draw It from cls&u cows Inte clean, sterile or freshly ec^ilded u^ ensils and allow It to come In coa> tact with nothing but those thing! which have been tborouxhly icald- ed. Cool it to 45 degroes Fahreop belt within 16 minutes after mlllfr ing and keep It cold imcil It is us* ed.
