In general, use pure wboie spices in pickiing as they retaîn their flavor longer and can lie iifted out ai the liquid before the pickles are packed.

Some restrictions, ta lie an- nounced Tbursday, wiil be im- posed on commercial concerns. It is expected these rules gaverning the amaunt ai ligbting wililibe less severe than those imposed during last winter's power scarc- ity. Mr. Saunders told a meeting af mayors and reeves from the Tor- onto area, business men will lie asked to arrange their schedules to mnake best use of the hours when power is most easily avail- able. That might entail working fplants between midnight and daybreak or operating on Satur- day and Sunday. But responsibility for the big-i 1 gest share af voluntary reduction in power use feil on the bouse- hoider. Unnecessary use of elec- tric lights and homne appliances wouid have ta be eliminated. "Only the householder who i realizes the seriousness af the sit-1 uation can help us there," said Mr. Saunders. Light Bainfal For the second consecutive year, Ontario and Quebec have experienced ight summer rain- fali. Thus the same factors af low water at generating plants and increased demand which caused' last winter's difficulties will be present in the next few months. During the last severai months the Hydro Commission has work- ed on a plan of voluntary power saving, the chairman said. Under the plan it is hoped to have 125,- ý00more horsepower than was availle last year but new con- sumers continue ta demand still more power. Mr. Saunders said cutting off power for certain perîods af the day was flot the answer to the problem. "Housewîves are smart," he said. "They know what lime the power is shut off. Ail they do is leave their ironing or eooking for later, or get it done before the shutoif.

WILSOt YOUNG MALES Watcbing for likenesses between cbiidren and their parents is in- teresting, but camparing the in- fants ai Birdland with their par- ents is quite fascinating. In any species, the majority ai juveniles are practicaily identical, and in cases where the parents differ, the yaung ones usuaily take aiter their mothers. But in some in- stances maIes and females may lie taid apart as soon as they are fea- thered. You must bave naticed in a brood ai Robins that some bave pink showing under tbe spots ai their breasts. This is an indication that they will eventual- ly get ta look like their rcd- breasted fathers. Young Rose-breasted Gros'beaks are among tbe easiest birds ta separate into maies and females. The beautifully patterned black and white father carnies the rose color, not only on bis breast but also under his wings, though this cannot be seen except when the bird is in flight. The mother is streaked buif and white, with yellow under ber wings. Whiie ta a great extent aIl the young resemble her, the littie boys have a pale rasy suffusian where their father has deep rase. However, these juveniles vary greatly in the amaunt ai rose. showing. At the lime of the autumn moult, like Bobolinks, bbe adult maies lase their bright, distinctive coats and tbroughout the wintcr are dressed much like their wivcs. Year-old maIe Purpie Finches can frcquently be pickcd out bath because their sang is flot yet fully deveioped and because their feathers are a less splendid mag- enta than those af an aIder bird. But male Amercian Redstarts are generally much langer than this in getting the handsome black coats with touches ai brilliant sai- mon pink an wings and tails. The adult female is rather light buify- grey above, with throat a n d breast a greyish-white, and pat- ches ai yellow replacing ber mate's more vivid pink. Juven- iles bave a slight yellow suffusion aver their breasts, and are with- out tbe wing blotch, but other- wise take aiter their mother. By the next spring, bowever, these year-old birds app~ear lni a VWr af costumes. Some of the muIlà are stili much the samne as an ult female, but with irreguapt ches of male plumage on Mew-1 tbroats. Others are fartiher on iii the change and often leok. strangely blotched. ' Qccasion&Uy it takes them three years ,to ac. quire the full adult plumage. Once the birds have changd int their fail clothes the difficuil.. ties af recognition are certaini? mltiplied.
