Indian Sum- mer is a term usually applied to any period of exceptionally fine weather occurring during October or Nov- ember, but the weight of authority seems to place it in November, It is impossible to define it by exact dates. This short period of warm or mild autumn weather is characterized by an almost cloudless sky, a hazy or a smoky atmosphere, and a temper- ature which is mild in the daytime, but cool at night. It is preceded by "Squaw Winter""--a cold spell when the thermometer first dips below the freezing point. The name is of American origin, but is now used also in Great Britain and corresponds to the British St. Martin's Summer (St. Martin's Day being November 11) when the period occurs in Nov- ember, and to St, Luke's Summer, or Little Summer of St. Luke (St. Luke's Day being October 18) when it occurs in October. In Germany it is known as "Old Woman's Sum- mer." There is no foundation for bed." "the popular belief that the Indian Summer weather was predicted by the American Indians in conversation with the first European settlers, or for the legend that the term 'In- - dian Summer" was employed by the early settlers. at 'gl, Neither this term or anything corresponding to it is to be found in any Indian language. + so» HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT Do you know the author and com. plete nursery rhyme "The House That Jack Built?" : ? Nobody knows 'who originated the rhyming story called "The House that Jack Built," It is described by the Funk and Wagnalls New Stand- ard Dictionary as "an old English nursery story told in cumulative form, every preceding statement be- ing repeated with the introduction of each new one. Similar tales occur in the Hebrew, among the native tribes of Africa, ete." Following is the nursery tale: "This is the house that Jack built. This is the malt that lay in the house that Jack built. This is the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house hat Jack built. This is the cat that killed the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built, This is the dog that wor- ried the cat that killed the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built. This is the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built, This is the maiden all forlorn that milk-| ed the cow with the crumpled horn that tossed the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the "malt that lay in the house that Jack built. This is the man all tattered and torn, that kissed the maiden all forlorn, that milked the cow with the crumpled horn, that, tqesed.. the dog that worried the cat that killed the rat that ate the malt that lay in the house that Jack built, Newspapers Used For Saturday Night Bath Newspapers have a variety of uses besides furnishing news and help- ing the manufacturer dipose of his products through advertising, In many countries they are used exten- sively for wrapping parcels, while in Mexico they furnish fuel for the Sat- urday night bath, Water is heated in cylindrical wopd-burning water heat- ers which have a"bmall storage capa- city and fuel ranges from old news- papers to wood kindling, Cooking 18 'done generally over charcoal burn- ers, which is practically the only cooking stove used by the poorer classes, while practically all of the homes of the higher-income classes * are equipped with grates for charcoal fires, There i8 no use of coal for domestic' purposes and wood {8 only employed in open fireplaces and water heaters, and, therefore, coal and wood stoves are unknown except in the area near the American border, Oil stoves are coming into greater use in recent years, the Mexican QGovern- ment endeavoring to change the cook-|. ing and heating methods of the people |' in order to conserve the forests which have suffered serious depletion a8 a result of the tremendous con- sumption of charcoal.

SPIRIT OF CANADA Special Day to Each Province Feature at Royal Winter Fair. : Each Canadian province is cele- brated at the Royal Winter Fair by a "day" specially dedicated to show- ing its products and exhibits. This linking of all Canada through com- mon interests in agriculture and nationality was instituted at the first Fair in 1922 and has been continu- ed uninterruptedly ever since. It catches "the spirit of Canada." The- days "with-their mottoes are: If You Eat Starches Meats, Sweets Read This They're All Necessary Foods -- But All Acid - Forming. Hence Most of Us Have ""Acid Stomach' At Times. Easy Now to Relieve. Doctors say that much of the so- called "indigestion," from which so many of us suffer, is really acid in- digestion . . . brought about by too many acid-forming foods in our modern diet. And that there is now way to relieve this . . . often in minutes! Simply take Phillips' Milk of Magnesia after meals. Almost im- mediately this acts to neutralize the stomach acidity that brings on your trouble. You 'forget you have a stomach!" ry this just once! Take either the familiar liquid "PHILLIPS", or now. the convenient new Phillips'. Milk of Magnesia Tablets. But be sure you get Genuine "PHILLIPS' *. Also in Tablet Form: Phillips' Milk ot Magnesia Tablets are now ous sale at all drug stores everywhere, Eachtiny tablet is the equiva- lent of a teaspoonful of Genuine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia.

"Provincial days are observed," says Colonel Harry McGee, Presi- dent of the Fair, "because they con- tinue the policy of the Royal Fair, of promoting agriculture and foster- ing a spirit of broad Canadianism. The increasing interest being given by all the provinces to this feature. is a matter of much satisfaction. "Canadian Day, the first day of the Fair, is devoted to showing broadly and nationally the essential unity of Canadian farm interests from coast to coast, The above ment- ioned Fair days are devoted to focus- ing 'public attention on special fea- tures of one or other of the pro- vinces,"" "In this way," Colonel McGee add- | ed, "every province and locality re- ceives from it benefits otherwise un- obtainable for it is an axiom that all local agricultural effort logically leads upward to the Royal; and, just as logically, the influence and benefits of the Royal flow outward to the nine puovinces and to their regional subdivisions."

' Jealousy 1s a tree that bears the most bitter of all fruits, Prehistoric Dwellings Unearthed Near Berlin Berlin--The setting up of the Olympia village in Doberitz, a re- moter subutb of Berlin, has had un- expected consequences, Near the Bérliner Chaussee, the foundations of five dwelling places from 2000 to 2600 B.C., have been unearthed, as well as two ash-pits' containing bon. es and fragments of earthenware howls. A stone-ax from the Neolithic period and an anchor have also been' found. This latter. find rouses great interest, in that it may be taken as proving that this sandy plain of| Brandenburg was once the scene of, fishing. Those who are familiar with the sandy lakes and soil of Berlin, the capital is bullt on sand, will be particularly interested in this ex- " planation, Salonika front, Miss Ker took part work in Serbia after the war. All three left Belgrade for the last time In 1922, when their relief work came to an end, But they compacted to return together some day, and this year the opportunity came, It was before the assassination of King Alexander of Yugoslavia In Mar- seilles, ROADS CHANGED, Miss 1lolme, who was an ambu- lance and lorry driver on the Balkan and Bessarablan fronts from early: 1915 until late 1917, sald her first im- pression on re-visiting Belgrade was the changed condition of the roads, "Those war-time roads!" she ex- claimed. "When we were here prac- tically no roads existed such as you have today--just tracks in the mud. Sometimes we were stuck all night fn the' mud, miles from anywhere, Sometimes the roads were so bad and full of holes, one actually tried the open country instead, Do you re- member those roads, Margaret Greenlees? ..... And now today, the roads everywhere are fine, modern ones, and Belgrade Is simply unrec- ognizable for new buildings," SERBIA'S PART "We love Serbia," declared Miss Holme, "and that is why we have come back, Somehow many people in England seem ta have forgotten all about Serbia and the brave, gal- "dand ings she did in the war. But we have not forgotten, "Not everybody remembers either today what British women did out here, Some thousands of British women must have served on the Ser- bian fronts during the war, Figures like Dr, Elsie Inglis, Lady Berry, the Hon, Evelyn*Haverfield -- all of whom are dead now--and Dr. Emslie-Hutton, and Dr, Katherine plish this purpose, Every drivers' lic- ensing law, moreover, might well re- quire that a record of any convictions of the licensee for unsafe driving be written on his card, This record need not be presented in court, but it does afford pertinent information to a trafic officer and will result in greater *¥ % ¥ " (TIT BURGESS -- EST FOR YOUR MONEY There's longer life, more service, more' power and more quality in BURGESS RADIO BATTERIES No. 21808 Radio, "B"" No. 1081 Radio, "A" BURGESS BATTERY CO Niagara Falls, Ontario Issue No. 47--'34 certainty of reporting habitual offen- ders to the licensing authorities, Now it may be that some of these persons are not willful offienders but merely incompetent drivers, That distinction does not lessen the damage they may inflict.
