Would Determine Man's Ability Toronto Professor Believes Psychological Tests Would Find Right Vocation. WINDSOR, -- Not far distant is the time when every child, youth, man and woman will be psychologically tested to determine their abilities, Professor J. H. Levy, of Toronto, industrial psychologist, told members of the Windsor branch, Engineering Institute of Canada. When that time comes he said, there will be fewer round pegs in the square holes because individuals will know for what vocations they are the best suited, the things they can do best, and the type of occupation they will be happiest at. "Purpose of the psychological test is not to find out how much you do know," he said, "but to find out how much you are capable of knowing and doing. The thing is to find out what vocation an individual is fitted for. These days too many people are doing what they should not be doing." For example, he said, a great number of children who take college courses should never go to university. They should be taught instead to work with their hands. As it is now, parents are puzzled to determine just what vocations they should encourage their children to follow, when the whole question can be cleared up by 1 tests. y explained that there e three methods of determining the judging him by facial and bodily characteristics. The second is the anthro-poiical method. Use of measurements oi the head and body. The third is the only scientific method, he said, and that is the psychological method.

SMITH In the smaller types of easily grown flowers are the alyssums. They are white and dainty and useful for edging. These will grow in partial shade and make excellent edging plants. Portulaca is also recommended. It is a spreading plant with bright yellow, red and pink wax-like flowers. It thrives in dry soil and bright sunshine, and requires little care. In the latter category also come nasturtiums, marigolds, calendulas and petunias. Zinnias, giant, medium or dwarf size, offer a range of bloom that the busy person can plant with certain satisfaction of a big display of bloom These, except for the tiny affair with close buttonlike flowers, are large plants. The bigger ones will make a height of 18 inches to two feet or more. Colors cover a wide range from dull red, bronze and yellow to bright red and pinks. The blooms somewhat resemble the rose. They grow well in almost any part of Can- Unusual Vegetables Experienced gardeners often make it a rule to try at least one new variety of vegetables every year. For the "greens" enthusiast, a few plants of Swiss chard will provide an abundance of meals. It is worth investigating as is also broad beans, which come along about midsummer and later. Brocolli, a sort of refined cauliflower, Koli Rabi, a refined turnip, and red cabbage and yellow tomatoes will lend interest to the regular types and provide a slightly different flavor. In many places egg plants and peppers can be grown and will be appreciated. They must be started early indoors. The red type of the latter can be produced in a surprisingly wide area of Canada; there is also the little individual Acorn or Table Queen Squash which is a big improvement over its rather watery ancestors. Leeks add variety to the onion family. Tender white radish lengthens the season for this vegetable, and some of the extra early bantam type will do the same One of the encouraging signs of the times is the decline in oratory.

For the home there are beautiful glass curtains. Guaranteed to catch the eye are a new spring "cravat" for the gentleman, a new glass tablecloth and a set of glass ' dishes that won't break when they slip from your hands. These latest developments in the glass manufacturing industry were revealed by Dr. William W. Shaver, research expert of Corning, N.Y., in a speech before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. "Years of laboratory research is proving today that there is no end to the multitude of industries in which glass can be adapted," he said. "Two new processes already have been discovered for the home. They are now on the market. The first is the construction block made of glass which not nly may outlast the old type of brick block but allows for more light," he said. "Then there is glass 'wool'--similar in appearance to cotton -- which is used for insulation purposes. It resists all types of weather." He explained a fibrous glass process which has produced thread, yarn, rope and cloth. "The glass is melted in huge tanks then drawn out through chutes and finally made into fine fibres one ten-thousandth of an inch in diameter, approximately four inches in length and possesing exceptional strength. Although the housewife today may be averse to the use of glass pots and pans, glass curtains and draperies already are in some homes and theatres as a fire precaution, Shaver said. Of special interest, he added, is the DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO. development of glassware which does not break when dropped. He demonstrated this by dropping several exhibits from a height of five feet. THUMBTACK YOUR DRAPERIES TO A BOARD By Ruth Wyeth Spears Almost every home-maker has read at some time or other that if one wishes overdrapes to have a tailored appearance a valance board must be used. Then there follows a description of a complicated valance board that must be especially made to fit each window and one immediately becomes discouraged at the thought ot the expense and trouble. Yet, the idea of a valance board is a good one and you can obtain a very smart and finished effect for your drapes by using a straight one by two inch board as long as the width of your window lall fi ishir end, and s board, will hold the bos the i hung up.

Nursery stocks are packed so as to reach the customer iri good condition, and as soon as the box or bundle is delivered it should be opened. Packed snugly together as they are, the plants often overheat. Delay of a day or two during a farm Spring spell may cause severe injury from this cause. This is particularly true of Issue No. 19--'37 WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to go The liver should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile i3 not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You get constipated. Harmful poisons Eo^nto the body, and^you feel sour, on the liver as well. It takes those good, old Carter's Little Liver Pills to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up". Harmless and gentle, they make the bile flow freely. They do the work be restored to freshness by soaking in water for several hours or overnight by planting, or by burying both roots and tops for a short time. If the stock can be planted at once, so much the better, but if it cannot, it can be held in good condition by "heeling in," that is, by digging a . shallow trench in some sheltered spot and setting the plants at an angle, and covering the roots with soil. A common method is to throw the dirt on the far side when digging the trench. The stock is placed, slantwise in the trench, with the tops against the shoulder of fresh dirt. Then the roots are covered by digging a second trench parallel to the first, this time throwing the dirt ahead on to the roots. The plants may be left in this condition for weeks until the ground is ready tcreceive them. During the planting operations, undue exposure of the stock should be avoided. A piece of burlap or a shovelful of earth thrown over the roots will help materially in reducing the losses from drying out of the_roots.
