wi Sa on . rd SA tin eg YE AER NE Ay Cnr ome o ~ ~ om Peat Mg oe ft hy / iy i ---- A Man Must Eat BY DONOVAN BAYLEY Frank Bond came home with new lights behind his horn.rimmed glas- ses, for he had been seeing visions, - and listening to a prophet. Frank was one of those tall, fair young men who make you think of Viking adventures, Being born, how- ever, all these years too late for that, he plodded along, equally cheerhilly, in a large estate agent's office in the semi-West End. He hurried up the crazy-paved path to his front door in the suburb of New Orpingstead, let himself in,-and uttered his usual ringing shout. "Mary, I'm back. Where are you?" "I'm here, darling with uncle," she answered from the kitchen. "When you've washed, dinner'll be on the table" "Fine! Great!" He was so hearty Mary thought, that this time, he was not so pleased uncle was here again. She was not to know that Frank had been seeing visions, Neglecting to go into the kitchen to hug Mary -- the presence of Mr. Geo, Shann, her uncle, made him shy -- Frank hurried up to the basin in the bath-room, and the way the house shook would have told a builder a lot. He ran down again, now smelling of antiseptic soap, shook hands with Mr. Shann, gave his pretty wife a comrdidely smack and sat down at the head of hiz draw-leaf oak table. "Wo want. rain, by boy." Shann said. "You ought to know," Frank admit- ted, Mr. Shann was a market garden. er in a larglsh way, though getting old and inelastic, "Nice show of blooms you've got here, all the same," the old man ad- mitted, "Blooms!" Frank said. "That's just where I've gone wrong. That's just where, with a small income like ours, I've been inefficient." "Inefficient?" Mary echoed. This was new to her, The polyanthuses, es: pecially. were remaikably™ fine this vear. Frank was good at them, as well as being clever with roses, Indeed. he had managed, by budding, to have three separate sorts flowering on one standard, a rather neat idea in a ra- ther small garden, «I said inefficient, And [know just what I'm talking about. The tirm has called in am efficiency expert, and 1 have been listenng to him." "That's bad," Mary sald. She had been in business before Frank look her out of it. "Means the sack for someone." "Sure!" Frank was ynworried, The firm would certainly not want the bo- ther of training someone else to do Uncle _his_carelul_work, which was pivotal,. "JIe's a man called Devannion, a 8swar- thy. bloke, forceful. Intent, a human dynamo." "Shoot him," Mary said, "If can do it without being noticed." "I don't like fo hear that sort of talk, even in joke," Mr. Shann reprov- ed her uneasily. "If anything did hap- pen to him after that you'd be bounu to be blamed.-Mary. You know what the police are. They'll hang somebody or know why." ""eWhat did_you mean by _---- you had been inefficient, Frank?" Mary asked. "Oh, den, I'm getting four quid a week, and I'm oehaving like a country fentienan with large _grounds "Never noticed it, Tarims, /A-- "No, but I have. It's not efficient with an income like ours, to grow flowers. We ought to grow things to eat. It was Devannion pointed that out fo me when we had a chat" "Did he?' Mary sald thoughtfully. "Orpingstead's growing fast." Uncle Shann said, "You can get quite a good you "price for cut blooms, T wish 1 was younger." "We buy lettuces and radishes, and spring onions, turnips, carots, spin- ach, and all softs of stuff, when we could raise them owselves" -- Frank gaid. "You can't -say that's efficient, can you?" "I can't say that I like it Mary answered, thinking of the efficiency exnert. ' "I bought seeds on the way home," Frank said, "I'll have a bed cleared for them before dark." "Lettuces are fetching a wonderful price." Shann sald, "But the flowers?" Mary asked. "They're coming out of it, You can fill every vase you have got, and then goodbye to 'em, Think of what you spend at the greengrocers. y "T've a nice cold-frame you can have for the fetching." Mr. Shane offered. "You bring some of 'em along in thet and you'll be in time yet." That evening and at the week-end, Frank converted the herbaceous bor. ders and most of the lawn, into a min. fature market-garden. The" neighbors began to say that he was no credit to the road, Scarlet runners, climbing up strings, were no 'substitute for the crimson ramblers; ranks of immature lettuces were not as nice to look on from their back bed-room windows as the sacrificed lawn, and the tender fo- lage of young radishes was hot as pleasing as had been the masses of violas. Ret that late epring was wet and warm, which is just what young vege. tablea an: salad plants want, With the halp of [Jncle Shann's discarded co'd frame, the change was made over efficiently, Frank's thirty by eighty foot garden was producing food and saving money. As the house looked not at the office! In the gar- south, the asters coming up in the front garden gave place to a row of tomato plants: "It's sordid," money-grabbing." Mary objected. with the money you'll save" "No, thajk you, I'd feel unhappy atl the time I had it on." ki "And you won't need make-up when the salads get to work on your com- plexion "You're cerfainly an efficient SAND Mary retorfed, But Uncle Shann was delighted. He had made all his money out of just the sort of thing that Frank was growing, He often came over to see how every- thing was going on, »ven though he was getting old. "You're doing fine*my boy," he sald. "And I'll tell you why; you're not af- raid to thin them out. Most amateurs crowd their stuff" "That isn't efficient. It doesn't mat- ter what you're doing, you've got to get dow nto it, and do i as it ought to be done." He was quoting efficiency expert De- vannion. That intense man had goug- ed a deep impression. into krank's healthy mind. It was a good, honest hero-worship, and a credit to Frank. He talked a great deal about Devan- nion to Uncle Shann, "Ay, Frank, you don't mind being told what you don't know," the old man answered. 'You like to learn things, you do," "Don't we all?" "No. that we don't, The fools l've met you wouldn't haraiy believe, The older I grow the more fools get in my way. I can't explain it." Mary was beginning to eat the thin- nings of the lettuces and the unwant- ed of the young radishes at her soli- tary lunches, when the edict broke loose to Frank. Ong half of his mind was plodding along aWhic dry job, and the other, more vivid bia was wonder- ing if he had been wrong not lo try a celery trench, however small. wlhiea the bell rang for him to go into the junior 1 rtner's private room, "Sit down, Bond," he said to rank, "I want to talk to you," Franlk's heart gank a. this opening. "TI hope Hitd's Dolfin wrong?" he asked. "I've been You aing Bond. We ll can learn something from those who knew -better than ourselves. The thing is this. Mr. Devannion says you're a fine, steady worker." "I'm very glad." "He says no one could do your job better than you do, Only he's proved that, if we spend thirteen guineas on a special sort of filing cabinet, there should be done." "But Jr "It's not a bit of use arguing, I could prove it to you in four minutes if you were still interested. You are not a round peg in a square hole, or anything like that. You are a peg with- mean?" } "You mean I'm sacked. ren "We thought of inviting you to re- 'sign. Best we can do for you, Looks better when applying for a new situa- tion. you see." 'vés, I see. When must 1 leave?" "The filing cabinet's coming to-day some time. It ought to have been here by now." "Sudden death?" "Oh, you'll get a better job!" "But not here?" "Quite. I'm sorry. March of progress and all that. In these hard times we can't afford to carry passengers, That news was exactly what Mary had been' waiting for. She was, there- fore, perfectly prepared to be- cheer- ful when Frank told her, "Anyhow, we shan't starve while there's a radish fn the garden," she said, "It's a good thing you did get rid of all those plants and plant food instead." "Yes, those flowers were only pas gengers. It's a pretty grim' world, lovey." "I dunno. We'll stick together some- how." "Oh, we'll do that! The point is, ! have just got about next quarter's rent in the bank, and no more, Do we live on it, and get tuinea out: or do we save it, and turn vegetarfon.," "No; you get a better job." "Sez you," He looked sideways at her. "My season ticket's nearly out too. Are we in a mess?" "We aro that. Watch us get out of it. " Mary made 'him take two or three days' holiday to get his nerve back, He spent them in the garden, contriv. fng a snake.like celery trench, wind. bors knew then what they more than suspected that he was a crank, Bu "That's right -- never waste an inch of ground," Shann said, when ha saw it. "What are you doing at home? Got a holiday for being so efficient?" He did not wait for an answer, but went up and down the garden, look- ing at everything, He liked what he saw. "Frank when a gardener dies, and his body's put in the earth, he goes home. That's how I feel about it, A good thing I do, too, at my age," sald Shann presently. "I wonder you can be content to work at things that do not matter a damn. Where would you office fellows be without me? No- where, Why? you ask, Because you can't eat money: you can only eat the food, and I grow it." "You can buy. yourself<a new dress | out any hole at all here.

What you people forget is that you're as dependent on the land as it you had actual roots. All you want to do's to cover it up with bricks and mortar, as if it were something inde- cent bare."

Campbell 'Calls For Ac" 'ance of Full Re- ' sibility to "how Way Out TORONTO, -- Industry was called' upon recently by W. R, Campbell or Windsor, president of the Ford Motor Company to accept the. responsibility of leading the way back to normal times, "Industry must adopt the responsi bility and show the way out," he said in an address at the Canadian Nation. al Exhibition "directors' luncheon that honored the,automobile industry, Involved in that responsibility he said, was consideration for sharehol- ders, employees consumers and the uopodoad Jie) soyuw YoJuA ows possible, Necessity for increased frankness on the part of the automotive industry-| towards the public was stressed by Mr. Campbell.

They could not fail, however, he added, to-note also that Legislatures, police, courts, press, pulpit, radio, | motor manufacturers, railways, road builders, road and safety organiza- tions, motor clubs, service clubs and educationists --- all forces moulding public opinion--had been concerned with the highway safety problem. Each year, Mr. Robertson said, a life was sacrificed to each 1,000 motor vehicles in use in Canada, bu' the' Dominion's death rate was the sec- 'ond: lowest in the world. Canada averaged 1,000 motor deaths- avery year, which almost matched | the rate of deaths by drowning. Both cauges accounted by one third of the 16,000 annual deaths by, violence. Mr. Robertson said. Drivers trained on modern highways were prone to accident when they found thmselves on an inferior road surface, the Ontario official said. The motor car-whici dodged--in and out of traffic, or was hurled at a high speed over fresh gravel, around blind curves or up hills, was as dangerous as the firearm whose user 'didn't know it was loaded."

Washington.--Disclosing he would seek $400,000,000 in new cash in 'he treasury's September financing, Sec- retary Morgenthau said recently he planned to-+ keep a working balance of around $1,000,000,000 because of threatening conditions abroad, " Morgenthau sald he thought the billion dollar balance should be re- tained because 'it is the safest in- surance we can carry for the Ameri- can people should anything 1 autor seen occu." At an early morning press coffer: ence, called to discuss new financing, Morgenthau declared that 'these times and conditions" abroad made him "want to keep the working balance" at a high figure, - In announcing he would seek to borrow $400,000,000 in the treasury's fall financing operation on September 16, Morgenthau said this was one of the smallest cash offerings since he as. sumed office. He announced that there would be a conversion issue for the $514,000,000 of 1.5 per cent treasury notes which fall due in mid-September. Coronation Colors The British Color Council have just issued two National Colors. -- Coronation Red and Coronation Blue. These, embodying the type of colors which have throughout history been regarded as being of the high- est ' significance, have been. chosen for use during Coronation year. The history dates from the time when only natural 'dye-stuffs were procur- able. Coronation Red, which is really n crimson, : "sriginally implied a :blufsh- red .dye derived from the Kermes in- sect and was' eniployed by "the- Heb: rews and' other. races of the Orient. Rich brocades and velvets of the Me- dicis as well as sumptuous ecclesiast- ical robes proclaim* its -presence in Gohtic and Renaissance times while for all subsequent periods of Muro- pean history this intense and glow- ing shade has been invested with a regal significance for dress and de- coration.| Incidentally, it 1s tae Crmison' of the British Army. Coronation Blue -is of a slightly redder cast than the actual colorls of the lapis lazuli from which uitra- marine was derived. Its historical sig- nificance is implied. by its presence in rich brocades and robes of the East as well as in_ pottery, ceramics and in the glowing depths of stained glass windows. The works of many famous masters of the early schools are enriched with itg intense quality. As for Britain, its nationa) interpre- tation, lies in the fact that it is the authentic "true" blue of the Britisn Flag and the Royal Blue of the -- Canadian Textile Journal. 7 Eating wrong kinds of food has caused thousands of cases of rheuma- tism in the last year, declares a Lon- don expert.
