Here is one kind: They stood at the garden gate, the scent of lilacs filling the warm spring air: Geoffrey (whispering hoarsely)-- "Sally, we've been going together two years--" Sally (breathing deeply) -- "Yes Geoffrey!" Geoffrey -- "And. we've grown close to one another -- gotten to trust one another, haven't we?" Sally (thrilling) -- "Of course, Geoffrey!" Geoffrey (gulping) -- "Well, well -- will you -- will you -- will you lend me carfare home?

This year in addi- tion to a sport programme of out- standing attractiveness there is an event of major importance in the aquatic world--the world's cham- plon professional sculler, Bobby Pearce, who will defend his title against all comers, including Eric Phelps of England and Evans Pad- don of Australia, What Science * Is Doing * Vitamins Aid Memory A connection between egood memory and an adequate supply of vitamins is demonstrated in ex- periments carried on at the Uni- versity of Colorado by Dr, Chas, F. Poe, professor of chemistry, and Dr. Karl F.

The map looks like a set of tape-lines on which the cross marks are crowded so closely that they nearly touch.

Stratosphere Study Increased An international assault on the stratosphere is being staged this summer by the weather bureaus of the United States and many European countries. Small cap- tive balloons are being sent aloft higher than any manned balloon has reached. They carry instru- ments of very light construction which record temperature, humid- ity and pressure and the flight of the balloons is followed by tele- scopes, so that their direetion and velocity, indicating the wind di- rection, may be charted. When it reaches its maximum height the J' hydrogen-filled balloon bursts, A released, ! instruments, their records scratched on smoked , red silk parachute is which carries the strips of metal, safely to earth. A reward is offered for the re- turn of the instruments. A comparison of the records ob- tained in all countries is expected to give a picture of changes tak- ing place in the stratosphere that may be related to changes in sur- face air, where storms originate. * * LJ Diet And Tuberculosis The latest advances in the treat- ment of tuberculosis were explain- ed by some of the most eminent specialists of Canada and the Unit- ed States at the one-week post- graduate course organized by the Mount Sinai Sanatorium, Prefon- taine, Que. | BIG in size ua 1 'BIG in flavour: 1 BIG A AA hl I : \\ WANS SCRA ATIR IU le AT 11RN BEN "THe PERFECT ( hewing lobacco » On the therapeutic side of the problem was the new theory of dietary treatment of tuberculosis which is now receiving the atten- tion of research workers in New York: On the surgical side the new procedure of putting air just underneath the ribs and outside the lung as explained.

This insect is like an ordinary cutworm. The colour is green to brown or nearly black, with longitudinal stripes along the back and sides. When - full-grown it is nearly two inches long, Most of the damage has been done to grasses, barley, oats and corn. Al- falfa, sweet clover, red clover, peas, beans, potatoes, tomatoes and most other crops have not been attacked. When barley or oats are attacked ° the damage is caused by the leaves and heads being eaten off. The worms usually come from grass, their favorite breeding place. From this they often move in large numbers to nearby corn or grain, In many cases, however, they actu- ally have bred in the grain itself, the eggs being laid on the leaves. Hence grain may be attacked with- out an invasion from the surround ings. Every farmer should at once walk through his barley, oats and corn in the evening to see if it is being injured by this pest, and should do this daily until all danger is past. Control . Poison bait in most cases is very effective, but sometimes must be supplemented by a trench or fur- TOW. Formula for the Poison Bait 25 1bs. Paris Green inetuiivavni- 3 0; Cheap Molasses ...eicoenn.¥% gal Water enough to moisten the bait without making it sloppy about 214 gals, Mix the bran and Paris Green dry, thoroughly, until the green can be seen everywhere through the bran. This can be done most easily on a concrete or tight board floor by shovelling it over just as in mixing concrete. Do not mix with the hands and do not inhale the Paris Green dust. Next level the surface of the pile, add the water and molasses thoroughly mixed and shovel again until the mixture is well moistened, but will fall through the fingers like damp sawdust. This poison bait should be applied after § p,m. and should be scattered by : hand. In corn broadcast it over the ground just as one would broadcast grain. The above amount should be sufficient to cover 11% acres, but only 1 acre in a very heavy infestation, Barley and oats may be treated in the -same way, but if the grain Is very thick or fallen the bait must be thrown foreibly into the crop to reach the ground, and in such cases even 30 1bs, per acre, or more, may: be needed. 'The lodged parts -:will. usually. require most bait. Do. not treat any grain field unless no- ticeable damage. is really being done, ¥, : To prevent th, worms moving Bir odbdodsh gr Minute most ¥.

Scratching ni et from an infested field to an unin- fested, scattering the bait for a few yards ahead of them may be suffici- ent, but if they are very numerous this will have to be supplemented by making a trench or deep fur- row. In-sandy land this can usually be done with a plough, leaving the straight side of the clean-cut fur- row towards the crop to be protect- ed. Two furrows about a yard apart are better than a single one, In clay land the furrow must be deepened to a trench 12 inches or more in depth, with the straight wall towards the threatened crop cut clean or even better cut under. In both cases poisoned bait should be thrown into the furrow or trench. Post holes at intervals may have to be dug in either the fur- row or trench, a "King and Queen © Of Freckledom" Canadian National Exhibition Will Give Prizes to Winners Of Dominion Freckle Com- petition. A Dominion-wide search for the nation's most freckle-faced young- sters has been launched by the Ca- nadian National Exhibition and will end on Children's Day, August 29, 'when the "King -- and Queen of Freckledom" will be officially crowned with elaborate ceremony in the new band shell. The_ competition is open to all boys and girls under 15 years and the prizes will consist of complete new outfits of clothing to compen- sate for the opening of the new school term. . Will Receive Complete Outfits The first prize for the "Queen of Fleckledom" will include coat, hat, silk dress, shoes, stockings, under- clothes and a suit of pyjamas. Her prize-winning "ladies-in-waiting" will be given a complete four-piece suit and a trench coat; other prizes for the "King's Men" will consist of suits, raincoats, windbreakers, overcoat and Mountie Breeches. There will be no entry fee but the official entry form must carry the signature of the parent, guard- fan or teacher, C.N.E. officials an- 'nounced today. The freckle-faced youngsters entering the competition will receive a ticket of admission to the Canadian National Exhibi- tion on Children's Day, officials said. ..Gardening Notes... THE VEGETABLE GARDEN The vegetable gardener has much in common with the factory manager; both like to get as much from their production space as possible. To do this the garden re- sorts to two doubling up arrange- ments called succession and com- panion plantings. He knows, for instance, that radishes take only a few weeks to mature, thus leaving a whole row or more of space for another crop. In this case, a mixture of radish and parsley seed can be planted at the same time, the parsley being slower, and obliging enough to give the radishes full sway for the first few weeks. This is' called companion planting, as both crops grow together,.although one is.harvested before the other. Other companions for radishes are cabbages or peas between the rows. In this case two rows are planted in.a space for only one, but as the radishes mature quick- ly and are used up, there remains only one row, with sufficient room for cabbages or peas. Another suggestion is parsnips or beets be- tween rows of spinach. The spin- ach is a cool-season, fast grower, and is soon used up. Succession Plantings In the case of succession plant- ings, the gardener waits until a quick growing vegetable is har- . vested, and then replants with an- other crop: Here are a few: Radishes followed by string beans, Early peas followed by- turnips, carrots or beets. Early beans followed by late carrots, or beets, Spinach followed by sweet cory tomatoes or beans. Young onions from sets foil lowed by eggplants or peppers. Soil In Good Condition There are a few exceptions which should be remembered. 'Root crops should not follow ro crops, and the same is true | the leaf crops. Turnips, carrots beets, for instance, should not fo low radishes, or Swiss chard follow lettuce. In practicing succession plant- ings, it is well to see that the soil is in a fine, rich condition, so that first crops may be harvested as soon as possible. Where necded add a complete plant food to the garden at the rate of 4 pounds for 100 square feet of surface soil. FORGET-ME-NOTS Spray roses attacked by mildew with liver of sulphur, one ounce to two gallons of water. Soak pot plants thoroughly be- fore planting out and again af- terwards in the evening. Earth up main crop potatoes. Give tomatoes under glass plenty of ventilation and water. Complete all bedding out for the summer show. Continue to sow gold dust alys- + sum,.anchusa, columbines, coreop- sis, sweet williams, etc., for next year's show. . Cut away flowers from sweet peas, lupins, violas to promote fresh bloom. /#SPRINKLING THE LAWN /The usual method of passing an evening sprinkling: the lawn may be.a pleasant way to while away the hours, but it certainly does _ not do any good. Use a good lawn sprinkler 'that throws a spray like raindrops high into the air, fall- ing gently upon the grass. Let the sprinkler remain in one position for an hour or two to really satur- ate the soil to a depth of four in- ches or more. One may water all day long, even during. the hot noonday hours, since injury from this practice is more fictional than real. than watering late into the even= ing with nightfall leaving the grass wet, HORSES WORK BETTER when f from Saddle Boils, Cuts, Sprains, Distemper, Colla, ete, by inard's Liniment.

Peach Acclaimed Developed By: Ontario Grower + It Is Suitable for Northern : Climes Nature took it into her pretty head to lay a fortune in the lap of C. Howard Fisher, Canadian nurseryman. Governments had been spends ing thousands of dollars to pro- ripen early in northern climes. Fisher walked out into his orchard at Queenston, Ont., and found the answer ready made. One branch of a Valiant peach tree was bent to the ground under a load of 36 fully ripened peaches while the rest of the tree was burdened with small, hard, green fruit. 21 Days Ahead The peaches on the Tavored branch had ripened 21 days ahead of time. The orchard became from that time on more truly a nursery than its name would indicate. The workmen cherished the little branch with all the care that would be lavished on an heir to the throne. : That was in August, 1934. Last weelt in Detroit at the Convention of the American. Association of Nurserymen, Fisher wag proudly displaying the fruit of his 'abors. From buds cut from the pre- cious little branch have been de- veloped a veritable forest of the young trees, all of them carrying on in the early-ripening strain of their forbear. Northern Growers Can Compete With Aug. 9 already established as the ripening date for the Fish- er Peach, the fruit may be gath- -ered six weeks ahead of the Al- berta and three weeks ahead of the parent stock, the Valiant. "The whole thing," Fisher said, "is just a freak of nature." The farther north one: is able to raise fruit, he declared, the bet- ter the quality. Now, with an ear- ly ripening variety, northern growers will be able to compete with those of the south, Pioneering It In Winnipeg Old Newspaper Published in 1866 Describes Life There 72 Years Ago--Just A Ham. "let. Life in the hamlet that was Win- nipeg 72 years ago is described in an early edition of the Nor-Wes- ter, Winnipeg's first newspaper. A copy of the paper, dated Nov- ember 3rd, 1886, owned by W. H. Brown of Winnipeg was recently put on display and immediately the stories of the Nor'-Wester's color ful career were revived. The paper was founded in 1859 by William Buckingham and Wil- liam Coldwell, Toronto reporters, after thqy brought the plant 500 miles by ox cart from St. Paul, Min- nesota. It was said the oxen ran away just after leaving St.. Paul and spilled out the press and the loose type along the roadside. But nevertheless, publication began in 1859 in a log shack along the Red River 'Settlement's main cart road, now Winnipeg's main street. The Nor';Wester was seized in 1869 by Loius Riel, and renamed The New Nation. It was published by Riel as the voice of his provis- fonal government which ruled the sienna unti] the troops arriv- ed. Mr. Brown's copy tells of the coming of six Grey nuns, five priests and four novices, in a party led by Archbishop Tache. It de- scribes the opening of St. John's College with Rev. Samuel Pritchard in charge of mathematics and Ven, Archdeacon McLean as professor of - classics. Winnipeg at the time the print. ing 'office opened consisted of just about a dozen houses and stores, a limestone fort with crumbling walls an dtwo windmills, 'Memorial To "Sax" Inventor A statue is to be erected to Adolphus Sax, postman who in- vented the saxophone, in the town of Dinard, Belgium, where he was born in 1814, | As a boy Sax was a clever clar- inet maker.

But even thenihe wasn't satis fied. He wanted a giant £400,000 instrument. to rest on four tow ers--and not an ornamental one at that, but one that could be played with the aid of steam.
