It would be unfair to reveal the entire scheme, Because the inventor hopes to get rich with its development, but 'obviously the blg idea ig to let that tail swish just so far and no'further. The editor must regretfully - com. ment that the fundamental thought is not new. Other deep thinkers, long before the day of Inventor Giese, sat up nights with the tail problem and not a few perfected admirable schemes for removing the peril from milking. 2 ! Possibly Farmer-. Inventor Giese's brain child will turn out much- bet. ter. We will all be hoping so. Accidents Are Largely Monta 5 The greatest number of accident deaths occur on the highways. Motor vehicle victims in 1935 numbered 36,- 000. Since jurisdiction over highways 1s almost wholly within the states certain difficulties of uniform control must be overcome. 'Next are 34.600 deaths occurring 'from various acel- dental deaths occurring from various g . accidental causes in homes. These : will be deeply investigated and new light is anticipated. Out of last year's 100,000 fatalities 16,000 wero recorded as occupational, Washington's sudden, determined activity in attacking the ~ accident situation grows out of the inescapable conviction that many of these fatalities are readily prevent. ..able. In fact, the investigators hope that certain facts will presently out. stand like cguldeposts to avoidance.

He joined the Union Bank of Halifax ih 1903, serving as a junior at the New Glasgow Branoh. When the Union Bank was absorbed by the Royal Bank of Canada in 1910, Mr. Mitchell was moved to- Halifax, and two years later became Accon- tant of that branch, In 1915, he wus appointed Manager of the St, John's Newfoundland Branch, following two years' service ds Assistant Manager there. Between 1919 and 1925 he serv- ed successfully as Manager at Halli. fax and at Vancouver; in 1919 he was appointed Manager at Toronto; and five years later Supervisor of Ontarie Branches. As Assistant General Mau- ager, Mr. Mitchell will continue to su- pervise Ontario Branches from head- quarters at Toronto. Lt Mr. James Muir, for the past four years General Inspector of The Royul Bank of Canada, is a native of Scot- land. Like Mr. Mitchell, he has been engaged in [BEyprofession of banking since boyhood, and has served the Bank in the Dominion and New York. Mr. Muir joined the Royal Bank of Canada at Moose Jaw in 1912, after serving three years with the Com. mercial Bank of Scotland, Ltd., and one year with the chartered bank of India in London, England. In 1916 he was transferred to the Inspector's Department at Winnipeg, and later in 'the same year became Accountant In the Winnipeg Grain Exchanga Branch.

"We farmers often cuss and swear about the prices we are charged for goods we buy, but seldom do you ever hear a farmer berating another farmer for services rendered. I often wonder why no kick is made. Long arguments often take place over the sale of 'a horse, or a hog or a beast, as to price, and it ends in a take it or leave it, or a compromise, both sides giving way on a fifty-fifty basis. But when it comes to threshing, or buz- azing wood or grinding grain, jobs that some good farmers take on as sidelines, _o! more grumbling. Take threshing, for instance. It is a thing that has to be donep but whether I get fifty cents a bushel for grain or a dollar, it makes no difference to the price I pay for threshing, 'and threshing is a costly 'affair. Threshing clover seed is a slow business, but the clock ticks along inexorably, I am paying five cents a may bring three cents a pound or thirty cents. I suppose the only truth about it is that the law of averages works out in the long run, and that what I lose this year I gain the next. The same naturally holds good of grinding that grain for feeding on 'th& farm, I must have chop for the stock, and whether the barley is worth forty cents or ninety cents a bushel I must pay two bits for each two sacks I take down to the grinder. Here, how- aver, I can get a bit of my own back. I know 1 have to pay twenty-five cents for each couple of bags, 80 why fill wheat sacks or flour sacks when bran and crushed oat sacks hold so much more. I guess I am not better than the other fellow. We all want as muoh for a nickel as a philosopher would want for a dime, ' Now let me wind up this crack at the farmer by relating a story -- it er in quefition came into the black- smith's shop with a share to sharpen. Whilst the smith was doing it, the farmer regaled him with his latest ex. ploit, He had sold half a dozen hags. He had expected at' the best ten dol- lars a plece for them, but; he added, "I knew he--bthe butcher--had to have them so I charged him thirty*dollars a piece, and he had to take them or leave them." The share sharpened, the smith handed it to the farmer. The latter sald: "How much?" "A dollar and a half," sald the forgéman. "What!" roared the farmer. "You thieving rascal, it is only fifty cents usually." "Yes," sald the blacksmith, minute for threshing, and the seed] happened during 'the war, The farm-| to-miking a cow than simply drain. ing her crankcase. Fins Physician -- Are you ill?

Should the high hopes of those who have heen working on wheat dis. eages be fulfilled and a type which will be immune to rust be put into farmers' hands -- something that is reported to be on the eve of accom. plishment -- nn enormous increase in the potential wealth of the country will result, It is when we turn from the wheat awards, however, that we have es- pecial rearn to cheer for the Can. adian farmer, Our wheat-grower may have certain natural advantages of climate and soil which aid him ma- terially in winning championships but in barley and oats, in which growing conditions here and in the United States are more nearly equal- ized, our grain.growers did equally well.

One of these is immedl- ately after digging, and the other a period of several days following a sudden rise in storage temperature. To prevent sweating, special atten- tion should be given to the ventil- ation of potatoes handled in bulk immediately after digging, and also after sudden rise in temperature following a period of steady cool storage, The lower the storage tem- perature, the higher will bg the in- itial rate of respiration at a sudden sent time, and the decision of the Chicago. judges that the Canadian heans exhibited there - were of the highest quality is assurance that we have the .best possible raw material to work with. provided we can grow it profitably against the enormous Oriental production. As usual also we have grounds for pride over the repeated success of Canadian sheeprafsers. Ontario once again sent sheep that could not be matched. With the blue ribbon for sheep coming so often to Capada against the best exhibits of the huge Chicago show, we are clearly in a position to. take care of our own needs, should a revival of the long- depressed wool market call for an in- crease in the depleted Canadian flocks.

Women, Forty "And Over (Janet Jameson, in the Toronto Mail and Empire) To every woman who has been busy around a home until she has passed her - fortieth birthday there comes a day when her duties grow less and for the first time in her life she has spare hours, She hag never been a member of any clubs; there was al- ways too much to do, and if a kind friend takes her to* one, she feels rather a misfit. She isn't up on cur- rent events, and.~she. doesn't know who's 'who in musical circles. Miser- ably she wishes she had stayed at home, Then there is the great soul who has spent years nursing an invalid. Release comes, but it does not bring happiness to the sweet-faced, middle- aged woman. Her handa.are empty, her days dreary. In a darkened room she sits and weeps for the yoke she bore so long. My fortieth birthday came and went without causing me a pang. I was busy with my family and content with life. One day the youngest, with 'the callousness of youth, informed me that the "kids" would be much more comfortable it I would go out some- where on the nights he had them in, With a feeling that my family had outgrown their urgent need of me. I was being shelved with the other forty-and-overs. It happened on the street car, I sat down beside an e¢lderly woman, whose thin was quivering ominously. I fear- ed she might not have a ticket, and the conductor did look cross. I asked her {t I could help, but she shook her head. Then evidently feeling the need of a confident, she told me the trouble. She lived with her son and his wife; the girl was the acme of modern efliclency; "she doesn't want - me muddling about her kitchen." What a tragedy And yet the story had {ts use.
