improvement in the calendar jcar 1938 according to a survey made public by hon eric cross the mlnlstr of public welfare dls closed statistics showing that relief in this group of municipalities which provides ontario with 85 per cent of lis relief load decreased by 19 per cent from 1937 and by 222 per cent from 1936 although this is encouraging mr cross said it hardly presents a true picture of the relief situation lnas much as employment slackened ont during the final six months of 1938 andthls situation is c jn 1939 i am afraid that by the close of our fiscal year march 31st relief costs will be actually equal to or perhaps higher than for fiscal year 1937 8 during the year just closed the greatest improvement was shown by the town of collingwood with a de cllne in expenditures from 1937 by 35 4 per cent sandwich east was next with a 24 4 decrease while ot tawa and windsor followed with 241 and 24 0 decreases respectively other municipalities to show improvement in 1938 over 1937

and wind sor showed marked reductions in volvlng 436 075 in ottawa and 427 375 in windsor in both latter cities our inspectors did klntenslve work during the jear and recommended improved methods of

so on march 15 he was assassinated the ides of march is the name by which march 15 is known in the roman calendar the calertds the ides and the nones are the only three names by which days in the ancient roman calendar were known notes a writer in the cleve land plain dealer the calends were always the first of the month the ides were the ninth day after the nones both days included and fell on the fifteenth qf march may july and october and on the thir teenth of all other months t nones were the ninth day before the ides again counting both days and fell on the seventh of march may july and october and on the fifth of all other months all other days were reckoned backward from the ides nones and calends the romans never reckoned for ward from these dates for in stance the ides tjf june were june 13 and june 8 was referred to as the sixth of the ides of june not ns the fourthof the nones o june both dates were always included in the reckoning january 13 was the ides of january january 12 the day before the ides of january but january 14 was not called the day after the ides of january but the nineteenth of the calends of february this system of naming the days accounts for the fact that a certain number of day preceding the ides nones and calends are sometimes loosely called the ides nones and calends respectively name humphrey teutonic a supporter of peace the name humphrey is of teuton ic origin and means freeman or according to one authority sup porter of peace in anglo saxon one of the teutonic group humph xey means home protector it is easy to trace a connection between these three meanings since a free man would naturally protect his home and desire peace it is more often a surname than a given name writes florence a cowles in the cleveland plain

tree shed leaves botanists explain that the shed ding of tree leaves is a natural process that is brought about by the formation of a layer of corky cells near the base of the leaf stem this layer prevents supplies of water from passing through the stem to the leaf causing the leaf gradually to dry up then the corky layer breaks and the leaf falls it is na lure s means of getting rid of the leaves at the end of the growing sea son when their work of manufactur ing food for the plant has been finished the normal process of leaf fall like leaf coloring may be in terfered with by an early frost if frost kills the leaf before the corky layer of cells at the base of the stem is formed the leaf is likely to hang on the tree much longer than it would tf allowed to ripen naturally quality
