This year the featnre band is that of the Royal Artillery of England. This band, composed of 70 musicians, is unique among musical organizations because each member can play at least two instruments and in five minutes the band can change over from one of the world's outstanding military organizations to a symphony orchestra of .equal In love affairs there always does come the critical moment. Here is one kind: They stood at the garden gate, the scent o£ lilacs filling the warm spring air: Geoffrey (whispering hoarsely)-- "Sally, we've been going together Sally (breathing deeply) -- 'Yes Geoffrey!" Geoffrey -- "And we've grown close to one another -- gotten to trust one another, haven't we?" Sally (thrilling) -- "Of course, Geoffrey!" Geoffrey (gulping) -- "Well, well -- will you -- will you -- will you lend me carfare home? I'm busted!" READ IT OR NOT -- The toad is toothless, but the frog has teeth. This s : of e the Auld Maggie Dee had her full share of Scotch prudence and economy. She had worn her old bonnet so long that some neighbours offered to get a new one for her. They asked if she would prefer a r silk a srlal. '"Weel," replied Maggie, "since ye insist on giein' me a bonnet, I think I'll take a straw one; it will maybe, just be a mouthful for the cow when I'm through with it." SCULLING TITLE The leadership of the Canadian National Exhibition in the realm of Canadian sport has for years been unquestioned. This year .in addi- a of < standing attractiveness there is event of major importance in the aquatic world--the world's champion professional sculler, Bobby Pearce, who will defend his title against all comers, including Eric Phelps of England and Evans Pad-don of Australia. What ocience * Is Doing * Vitamins Aid Memory A connection between good memory and an adequate supply of vitamins is demonstrated in experiments carried on at the University of Colorado by Dr. Chas. F. Poe, professor of chemistry, and Dr. Karl P. Muenzinger, associate professor of psychology. Their experiments were made on rats, using three groups, one group kept on a normal diet, one kept on a diet deficient in vitamin G and one deficient in the vitamin B complex. Map of Heredity The first map of heredity is under construction at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif. It already shows the location of the chemical determiners of 500 physical characteristics ranging from eye colors to the number of joints in the feet of the tiny fly that is being intensively The map looks like a set of tape-lines on which the cross-marks are crowded so closely that they nearly touch. This map is a drawn-to-scale copy .of real tane-lines which nature lays in every germ cell to govern and limit the animal (or man) which that cell shall become by growth. New Treatment for Meningitis Use of sulphanilamide has changed treatment of meningococcal meningitis "from a difficult to a relatively simple matter," says Dr. Stanley Banks, writing in the Lancet, British medical journal. Dr. Banks, medical superintendent of a London hospital, describes treatment of 113 acute cases of meningococcal meningitis. Thirty-eight cases were treated with large doses of serum. The fatality rate was 16 per cent; the method relatively difficult and A fatality rate of 11.8 per cent, resulted from treatment of 59 cases, including 10 small children, with both serum and sulphanilamide. Recovery of sur- Stratosphere Study Increased An international assault on the stratosphere is being staged this summer by the weather bureaus of the United States and many European countries. Small captive balloons are being sent aloft higher than any manned balloon has reached. They carry instruments of very light construction which record temperature, humidity and pressure and the flight of the balloons is followed by telescopes, so that -their direction and velocity, indicating the wind direction, may be charted. When it reaches its maximum height the hydrogen-filled balloon bursts. A red silk parachute is released, which carries the instruments, their records scratched on smoked strips of metal, safely to earth. A reward is offered for the return of the instruments. A comparison of the records obtained in all countries is expected to give a picture of changes taking place in the stratosphere that may be related to changes in surface air, where storms originate. Diet And Tuberculosis The latest advances in the treatment of tuberculosis were explained by some of the most eminent specialists of Canada and the United States at the one-week postgraduate course organized by the Mount Sinai Sanatorium, Prefon-taine, Que. On the therapeutic side of the problem was the new theory of dietary treatment of tuberculosis which is now receiving the attention of research workers in New York. On the surgical side the new procedure of putting air just underneath the ribs and outside the lung as explained. This mettled aims at allowing the lung to retract and heal. Forty medical men from Eastern Canada and the United States attended the course. Army Worm Method Formula for Poison Bait And Use Outlined During the last week there has been a widespread outbreak of the army worm in most counties of the province, hut more severe in some than in others. This insect is like an ordinary cutworm. The colour is green to brown or nearly black, with longitudinal stripes along the back and sides. When full-grown it is nearly two inches long. Most of the damage has been done to grasses, barley, oats and corn. Alfalfa, sweet clover, red clover, peas, beans, potatoes, tomatoes and most other crops have not been attacked. When barley or oats are attacked the damage is caused by the leaves and h§a_ds being Outbreak of its Control The lauy i 3, their favorite breeding place. Prom this they often move in large numbers to nearby corn or grain. In many cases, however, they actually have bred in the grain itself, the eggs being laid on the leaves. Hence grain may be attacked without an invasion from the surroundings. Every farmer should at once walk through his barley, oats and corn in the evening to see if it is being injured by this pest, and should do this daily until all danger S P Control Poison bait in most cases is very effective, but sometimes must be supplemented by a trench or fur- from an infested field to an unin-fested, scattering the bait for a few yards ahead of them may be sufficient, but if they are very numerous this will have to be supplemented by making a trench or deep furrow. In sandy land this can usually be done with a plough, leaving the straight side of the clean-cut furrow towards" the crop to be protected. Two furrows about a yard apart are better than a single one. In clay land the furrow must be deepened to a trench 12 inches or more in depth, with the straight wall towards the threatened crop cut clean or even better cut under. In both cases poisoned bait should be thrown into the furrow or trench. Post holes at Intervals may have to be dug in either the furrow or trench. "King and Queen Of Freckledom" Canadian National Exhibition Will Give Prizes to Winners Of Dominion Freckle Competition. A Dominion-wide'search for the nation's most freckle-faced youngsters has been launched by the Canadian National Exhibition and will end on Children's Day, August 29, when the "King and Queen of Freckledom" will be officially crowned with elaborate ceremony in the new band shell. The competition is open to all boys and girls under 15 years and the prizes will consist of complete new outfits of clothing to compensate for the opening of the -new school term. Will Receive Complete Outfits The first prize for the "Queen of Fleckledom" will include coat, hat, silk dress, shoes, stockings, underclothes and a suit of pyjamas. Her prize-winning "ladies-in-waiting" will be given a complete four-piece suit and a trench coat; other prizes for the "King's Men" will consist of suits, raincoats, windbreakers, overcoat and Mountie Breeches. There will be no entry fee but the official entry form must carry the signature of the parent, guardian or teacher, C.N.E. officials announced today. The freckle-faced youngsters entering the competition will receive a ticket of admission to the Canadian National Exhibition on Children's Day, officials ...Gardening Notes... Forr i for t ! PciS. Bait . 25 lbs. Paris Green ................................ 1 lb. Cheap Molasses ........................%• gal. Water enough to moisten the bait without making it sloppy ........................about 2V& gals. Mix the bran and Paris Green dry, thoroughly, until ttie green can be seen everywhere through the bran. This can be done most easily on a concrete or tight board floor by shovelling it over just as in mixing concrete. Do not mix with the hands and do not inhale the Paris Green dust. Next level the surface of the pile, add the water and molasses thoroughly mixed and shovel again until the mixture is well moistened, but will fall through the fingers like damp sawdust. This poison bait should be applied after 6 p.m. and should be scattered by hand. In corn broadcast it over the ground just as( one would broadcast grain. The above amount should be sufficient to cover 1% acres, but only 1 acre in a very heavy infestation. Barley and oats may be treated in the same way, but if the grain is very thick or fallen the bait must be thrown forcibly into the crop to reach the ground, and in such cases even 30 lbs. per acre, or more, may be needed. The lodged parts will usually require most bait. Do not treat any grain field unless noticeable damage is really being To prevent the worms moving ^Scratching " RELIEVE ITCHING In A Minute Enn the most stubborn Itching of eczema, blotches, pimples, athletes foot, rashes and other skin erup- I ' ■ - ■ .. t II !

To do this the garden resorts to two doubling up arrangements called succession and companion plantings. He knows, for instance, that radishes take only a few weeks to mature, thus leaving a whole row or more of space for another crop. In this case, a mixture of radish and parsley seed can be planted at the same time, the parsley being slower, and obliging enough to give the radishes full sway for the first few weeks. This is called companion planting, as both crops grow together, although one is harvested before the other. Other companions for radishes are cabbages or peas between the planted in a space for only one, but as the radishes mature quickly and are used up, there remains only one row, with sufficient room for cabbages or peas. Another suggestion is parsnips or beets between rows of spinach. The spinach is a cool-season, fast grower, and is soon used up. Succession Plantings In the case of succession plantings, the gardener waits until a quick growing vegetable is harvested, and then replants with another crop. Here are a few: Radishes followed by string Early peas followed by turnips, carrots or beets. Early beans followed by late carrots, or beets. Spinach followed by sweet corn, tomatoes or beans. Young onions from sets followed by eggplants or peppers. Soil In Good Condition There are a few exceptions which should be remembered. Root crops should not follow root crops, and the same is true of the leaf crops. Turnips, carrots or beets, for instance, should not follow radishes, or Swiss chard follow lettuce. In practicing succession plantings, it is well to see that the soil is in a fine, rich condition, so that first crops may be harvested' as soon as possible. Where needed add a complete plant food to the garden at the rate of 4 pounds for 100 square feet .of surface soil. FORGET-ME-NOTS Spray roses attacked 'by mildew with liver of sulphur, one ounce to two gallons of water. Soak pot plants thoroughly before planting out and again afterwards in the evening. Earth up main crop potatoes. Give tomatoes under glass plenty of ventilation and water.-Complete all bedding out for-the summer show. Continue to sow gold dust alys-sum, anchusa, columbines, coreopsis, sweet williams, etc., for next year's show. Cut away flowers from sweet peas, lupins, violas to promote fresh bloom. SPRINKLING THE LAWN The usual method of passing an evening sprinkling the lawn may be a pleasant way to while away the hours, but it certainly does not do any good. Use a good lawn sprinkler that throws a spray like raindrops high into the air, falling gently upon the grass. Let the sprinkler remain in one position for an hour or two to really saturate the soil to a depth of four inches or more. One may water all day long, even during the hot noonday hours, since injury from this practice is more fictional than real. It certainly is much safer than watering late into the evening with nightfall leaving the grass wet. HORSES WORK BETTER KING OF PAINT
