Mae is reported to be a Spirit- ualist. She neither smokes nor drinks. Seldom does she go out at all, and only the odd time does she entertain a few friends at her home. Quiet and most likeable to work with, Miss West is one of the most popular actresses among her own profession. On a cold day; it's quite a re- lief to drop into a greenhouse where the moist, pungent air is about 80 degrees. Today in the green-houses, you can catch a glimpse of summer gardens in miniature. For there in rows of boxes are tomato plants, not more than an inch high, and sprung from the seed a thousand- fold. Each one of these hair-like plants is now being transplanted by hand into another box. A fing- er fork the size of eyebrow tweezers is used to.dig out the root. Plants are then transplant- ed an inch and a half apart. Lat- er, they are transplanted to the outside hot beds. A tomato plant is handled four times before it is actually planted in the field. One thing you can't help mar- velling about as the sun beams through the glass roof, is how a whole head of LETTUCE can possibly build up from those two wee leaves. Why they are no big- ger than a couple of baby's tears.

But it turn- ed out that Miss West was not well that day, so we bit a cracker and lapped some delicious chicken with her leading lady--Miss Pol- lock--by no means less LUSCIOUS than Mae West herself. Miss her part as The Madame in the show. Besides being a top actress, she is a talented and cultured personality herself, you It is reported that Lord Chief Justice Goddard put the question: "Dare we now give shelter to po- litical refugees who may be fol- lowers of this pernicious creed, who may well disguise them- selves and bite the hand that feeds them?" A Canadian who takes one life, may hang or get a life sent- ence. A scientist who confesses to giving away atomic secrets af- fecting the lives of millions of people, gets 14 years Yes, Dr. Fuchs bit the hand that fed him. Now we turn around and feed the hand that bit us. UNCLE FRONTENAS says Louis XIV had something when he said that it is easier to make all Europe agree, than two wo- men. ~ : Aquatic Breakfast There's a certain young mar- ried man in town who's very, very glad his wife has returned home from a visit to her folks. One morning during her absence, he gayly set about the task of getting his own breakfast, quite confident of his culinary powers. Casually he put some coffee in the percolator and placed it on the range, then proceeded to make the other preparations. A moment or so later his nostrils were assailed by the pungent od- or of burning coffee. He rushed to the percolator, opened it, and looked inside. He had forgotten to put in any water. The young husband drank water for break- fast that morning, and had to buy another coffe-pot.
