THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., NOV. 17, 1938 Football Terms If You Want to Be Able to Enjoy A Good Game, You Should Know What Some of The Terms Mean For those people who like going to football games, even though the amount of their knowledge of the game is rather vague and sketchy, the following pointers by Joan Durham may be a help in following the game with even keener enjoyment. There are three chief ways of scoring -- the touchdown, the field goal and the extra point. The touchdown is made when a player carries the ball or receives a pass across the goal line. It counts five. After making a touchdown, a team gets one try to score an extra point, which counts one. The point is made by kicking the ball over the crossbar, by carrying the ball over the goal line, or by catching a forward pass over the goal line. A field goal is made when a player kicks the ball over the crossbars. It scores three. Water Erosion Destroys Soil Evidences of Destruction Are Seen On Nearly Every Cultivated Sloping Land in Canada While the extent of the damage done to cultivated soils in Canada by water erosion is not as yet sufficiently apparent to arouse public opinion, there is clear evidence that a considerable amount of damage has been done by this agency of destruction states Dr. A. Leahey, Division of Field Husbandry, Central Experimental Farm. "It is not exaggerating the case to state that on nearly all sloping cultivated land in this country, soil erosion by water has taken place. In some districts the appearance of yellow clay or gravel spots, the stunted and sparse vegetation on the knolls, the occasional presence of gullies, are unmistakable evidences of its destructive presence. "The common farm practice of cultivating and seeding land up and down the slope, is one of the leading causes of soil erosion by water. Therefore, the first step that Bhould be taken in controlling or prventing washing away of the soil is to avoid this practice by cultivating the crops across the slope, or on the contour of the land.

Grading Canadian Dressed Poultry New Regulations Call For Distinction to Be Made Before Preparing for Market Under the new regulations respecting the grading and marking of dressed poultry in Canada, issued by Order in Council 14th of September, 1938, the kinds, sub-kinds, and grades of the Canadian Dressed Poultry Standards are as follows: -- Chickens -- squab broilers, broilers, fryers, roasters, poulards, capons, stags. Fowl -- hens, roosters. Turkeys -- young hens, young toms, old hens, old toms. Ducks--Ducklings, ducks. Geese -- goslings, geese. Pigeons -- squab pigeons. Guineas -- guinea chickens, guin- The kinds fo poultry outlined in the Canadian Dressed Poultry Standards include both sexes and no distinction is made between the breeds. According to the definitions of the kinds and sub-kinds, chickens, ducklings, goslings, young turkeys and guinea chickens are all young birds with soft flexible cartilage at the posterior end of the breastbone or keel. They are birds that are prepared for market and killed at or before maturity, and before they are used for breeding Let this overwhelming preference for'blue coal'--the world's fittest anthracite--be your guide to better heating, 'blue coal wi11 give: you a standard of heating satisfaction and value that ha;; won the confidence of over 100,000 Canadian homeowners.

If placed end to end, the hairs grown by the average man in one year would equal 7,604 feet, we learn. The trick, of course, is to get them to grow end to end.

INVENTIONS WANTED Mystery Monster The skeleton of a "mystery" Arctic monster has been found west of Jameson Land, in East Greenland, by a Danish Arctic Expedition. It is well preserved, and is evidently that of a mammal of the same period as the dinosaur, the prehistoric reptile. Remains of dinosaurs have been found widely distributed over both the Old and the New World. This latest discovery should throw fresh light on the emergence of mammals and on the vague border-line betwei reptiles. What Science * Is Doing * CALCIUM DIET FOR LONG LIFE A new secret of long life--that it depends partly on the calcium your ancestors ate -- was announced to the U. S. Academy of Sciences last week. If a family is fed a rich calcium, diet, the results add up in the second and later generations. The amount of calcium in the descendants^ is increased. They live longer. JAWS AND DEAFNESS The American Society for the Hard of Hearing learned last week that many cases of deafness are caused by abnormal relations ber tween the jaws. Repositioning of the jaws, it was said, often would entirely eliminate deafness. TO CURE DRUG ADDICTS A hypodermic in the spine to make the cure of drug addicts easy and painless is reported. The hypodermic is an anaesthetic causing "nerve block," a form of anaesthesia often used in surgery to render a portion of the body insensible to pain. This sort of nerve block frees narcotic addicts during their first few days of abstention from the nervous shock, excitement and mental upsets that accompany withdrawal of morphine. WHEN ATOMS EXPLODE The extent to which we are affected by powerful unseen forces is indicated by studies made on the cosmic rays at the University of Manchester, England. They have detected atomic explosions which spread their debris over a span of fifteen feet, and there are indications that the effects cover greater areas. They estimate that the total energy release in one of the atomic explosions observed reached as high as 10,000,000,000,-000,000 electron volts. EYES, ELECTRIC BATTERIES Human eyes are powerful electric batteries. This discovery, showng that each eyeball is an independent battery, was announced last week by a Yale University psychologist. Each eye produces a current averaging 1-1,000-volt, an electrical energy equal to that of the heart beats which make the recordings of electrocardiographs. Numerous eyes, Dr. Miles found, average l-400th volt; one gave 2-100 volt. ^BRINGS INSTANT EASE Classified Advertising Ontarioy N APRONS IIY MAI APRONS FOR BIG WOMEN, THREE Needfecraft °Guild?1 X'TOHOHILK REI'A .shock Absorbers ANDREWS' HAIR DRESSING ACA demy Course reduced one third 1 first six students enrolling to corr plete Fall Class.

I'll wind up at Alcalraz." The settlement that is called Boys Town, is the dream come true of Father Flanagan (Spencer Tracy). A refuge for homeless boys, it is run like a e.ty, with a Mayor elected from among the lads themselves. One day, Joe Marsh, notorious gangster, sends for Father Flanagan. He has a brother, Whitey. (Mickey Rooney) whom he wants taken v.-ito Boys Town and brought up properly. "Money doesn't grow on trees, Father. Father Flanagan is on his way to Whitey's hangout when he runs into his good friend, David Morris (Henry Hull) the man who has helped him finance the home. Morris warns Father Flanagan that unless some donations come in very soon, the whole project will fail. But Father Flanagan doesn't worry. The settlement has flourished since it was started and somehow, he will keep it going. 'Slop being a kid, Whitey." Entering the boarding-house room where Whitey lives, Father Flanagan looks at the occupants in grim despair. They are all "toughies," smoking, forced to take him by the scruff of the neck and knock some sense into him. Belligerently, Whitey packs and goes along with him. "Hello, Mr. Boy. I'm Pee-wee." Reaching Boys Town Whitey stares at the well-arranged buildings. Despite himself, he is impressed. Aloud, however, he expresses his opinions in terms of eontempt. At the outer gate, a six-year-old little fellow greets him. He is Pee-wee (Bobs Watson) Father Flanagan's pet. Whitey is scornful. Kids! He'll leave the first chance he gets.
