Europe Follows Housing Plans regulations Regarding Upkeep Of Houses Are Enforced in Several Countriesâ€"Holland, Sweden, Educate People To Proper Living Conditions, 1m Holland, as in Great Britain, considerable importance is at- tached to effective housing in- • spection and to the enforcement of regulations concerning the up- keep of dwelling's. The Amsterdam housing depart- ment employs 15 specially-trained women estate managers who do social work and carry out inspec- tions. In Sweden, too, the inspec- tion of dwellings for structural defects is done by a specially qualified staff of women. Staff of Inspectors In Stockholm, Sweden, the health department maintains an isolation home containing 40 beds, which is used mainly when dwell- ings need fumigating. And in Am- sterdam a special block of flats is used for the education of peo- ple who have proved to be unsat- isfactory tenants. In Some, Florence and Venice, in special municipally-owned “ho- tels” cheap accommodation is pro- vided for families which are con- sidered unsatisfactory as tenants for new dwellings.. Private Baths Not Common In Sweden there has been diffi- culty in inducing the people to accept more roomy homes, because the. climate and long habit have made them more comfortable when crowded into small rooms. Even in the homes of professional peo- ple it is common to see a bed in the living-room. The only form of bath provided in many of the continental hous- ing schemes is a shower bath, the public bathing pools being re- garded as meeting the general needs. As for equipment, there seems to be a dislike, in European countries, of the small workshop type of kitchen, the kitchen-liv- ingroom being preferred. Tulip Legend Charming Story of This Flower’s Origin Here is a charming little legend -of the tulip, the gay flower with the bright color. It is from Vach- ell’s book “This Was England," “In Devon the pixies are said to cradle their babies in the cups. A woman, so the story runs, rising early to -bathe hér face in May dew, espied the .babies in the flowers, .and forthwith planted more bulbs and established a kindergarten of pixies. To reward her, the fairies caused the tulips to wear brighter colors, than heretofore, and gave them a sweet perfume. Then the woman died and another which took her place, uprooted the tulips. Lo! a miracle! Tulips bloomed gor- geously upon the humble grave of her who had loved them. Then rude feet trampled them down. The fair- ies were , so angry that they took from all tulips their perfume." So today, the beautiful tulips that â- so delight us, have no scent. Swim Champions In Competition Will Battle It Out at The C. N. E. The Ontario Section of the Cana- dian Amateur Swimming Associa- tion holds the Ontario 1 Mile Cham- pionship for Men and for Women at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion, on August 27th. On Saturday, September 3rd, all Provincial champions will meet for the 1 mile Senior Canadian Swim- ming Championship at the, C.N.E. The Wrigley plaques for 1 Mile Championships are now held by Gordon Devlin of Toronto, and Phyllis Dewar of Vancouver, The donors of the Trophies, Wm. Wrig- ley Jr. Company Limited, have shown for years a hearty interest in the development of swimming in Canada, and in recent years the amateur swims for Wrigley Tro- phies have created much additional interest, swimming clubs having been inspired in many cities and towns, and in some instances have caused civic authorities to install swimming pools. Following the announcement of additional restrictions on consump- tion of goods and the extension of price control, business in Japan is steadily decreasing.

European Powers Are Represented No less than eight European powers have taken space up to date, at the Canadian National Exhibition, several of them for the first time. Czechoslovakia and Finland are back again and the new exhibitors include Germany, The Netherlands and Poland. Italy is also present after several sea- sons of being without representa- tion. Fountain Pens Fountain pens have been in use for a much longer period than one realizes. As far back at 1657, in a “Diary of a Journey to Paris," un- der date July 11, a man is men- tioned who “makes pens of silver, in which he puts ink which does not get dry, so, without having to take any, one can write a half- quire of paper at a sitting.” Samuel Pepys, in his Diary, Au- gust 9, 1663, tells us: ‘‘This day I begun to make use of the silver pen to carry inks in.” They were also known as “reservoir pens” and “fountain horns.” Dance Band Favorites Shouts Are Heard Above All Noises Habitues of Times Square, New Yorkâ€"the world’s busiest and noisiest crossroadâ€"were amazed recently by a court verdict fining a 71-year-old woman magazine vendor for shouting her wares so loud she disturbed residents of the district. A sound expert for the prosecu- tion testified that while a voice may not be audible 15 feet away on the street it might have enough decibel power to make it painful- ly audible above the street. Homes of Britain burned an av- erage of three tons of coal in the last year. Many private flyers in South Africa now carry pet dogs in their planes.
