AEE < " Snow-skatés Date ElectionAct Made Changes Rural Lists Remain Open Even On Day of Voting Under New Regulations Canadians go to the polls March 26 under a-thoroughly revamped elections .act, the result of two years' work by the House of Com- mon: élections committee, The biggest change in the new «act is abandonment of the "per. manent" voters' list inaugurated with pi nable success for the 1985 election. The previous sys- tem cf creating a new list by en. umeration for reach election is being restored. FRESH LIST EACH TIME The purpose behind the perman- ent voters' list by R. B. Bennett, then prime minister, was to per- mit the calling of an election within four weeks. But the system was discarded after one trial, al-- though somewhat similar systems are in use in Britain and Austra- lia. The enumeration this time includes all those who will reach 21 years of age on or before poll- ing day, whereas previously they had to be 21 at the time of enims« eration, Those becoming 21. after that and before election day eould apply for revision of the list. Early War Use Of Skis Proved 1050 = Anclent Skis Had Tapering Toes, Short Heels The first known record of the use of skis in warfare is to be -found on an ancient runic stone, discovered near Upsala, Sweden, -and carved in 1050, showing a warrior. on "snow-skates" carry- ing a bow and arrow. Ancient skis, apparently, bore little. resemblance to.the onés now used. As shown by an illustration in a volume printed in 1555, they were then about three to four feet Jong, and cut off sharply a few inches behind the skier's heel. Toes were long, tapering, and sharp, - with only a slight el@vation of the point. Nevertheless, they were ev- en then effective 'military equip: ment; the army wearing them in the illustration is obviously put- ting to flight ils opponents, not so equipped. A later book, "History of Lap- land," 1674, describes "shoes , . « made of broad planks extremely smooth" and called "skider." They were about 12 inches wide, the au- thor states, and in any pair "one must be longer than the other by a foot," ; . Tea For The Troops Major-General A. G.

Is smoking a question of mor- als? A. No, but it surely is a question of manners. Neither a man nor a woman should smoke where there is a possibility of it being objec- tionable. And the person who delib- erately or thoughtlessly directs a cloud of smo" across a table into another person's face really 48: serves a reprimand. Q. Isn't it bad taste to "talk over" a hand of bridge that has been just played, or a rubber, calling atten tion to mistakes, and discussing how it was played? ~ A. Yes. This is very boring fo a great many. pepple. One should for- get it and concentrate on the next hand. Q. How should Jean Norton, who is eighteen, bo introduced to Mrs. Marshall, who {is sixty? A. "Mrs, Marshall, this is Jean Norton" -- Q. Should a wedding guest con- gratulate the groom, even when thls guest fels that the groom is making an unfortunate marriage? A. Yes. In the {irSt place, the guest 'may be entirely wrong in his opinion; second, it he is correct In his judgment the poor groom will soon find it out and should be made as happy as possible for the short time of his disillusionment. Q. What is a good toast.-for a friend of the bridegroom to offer to _the bride at a wedding reception? A. "God bless the bride. Sho pick- ed tho best man of the lot of us." Q. Is it all right to serve ple at a formal dinner? A. No; it 1s not done. Pe Ee a ee A Ee A Ra od 4 v What Science] Is.

Fish Clocked By Speedometer We have a fair idea how fast most animals run and birds fly, but only hazy notions about the speeds of fish. Earl Thompson, a Nova Scotia angler, has devised a special speedometer which regis. ters speed in miles per hour as his line runs out. This invention should be of value to scientists in- vestigating marine life, for with it they will be able to gauge the speeds of ocean monsters like whales, sharks and swordfish, Mr. Thompson was asked that summer to collaborate with the Boston Na- tural History Museum, and his most interesting catch was a 60 1b, tuna, which raced out to sea with the line at 44 miles an hour, In the summer he hopes to find out what an 800-pounder will do.

This novel use of the turnip Is outlined in the Canadian Medical Association Jour- nal. The turnip juico is nirde by cut. tig off the top of a turnip, hollow: ing out the turnip, filling the ho! low with brown sugar and standing "the vegetable upright. Next day the sugar will have dissolved in the juice which it has extracted from the turnip tissue. It is claimed by somo that this turnip Is even more effective in view of freshness than orange juice, VIGILANCE VS.
