"Stars In Full Glory ------ It is strange that on the whole the stars visible in winter are so muc't more brilliant than the sum- mer stars, It is when thé nights grow long and cold, and when star gazers in northern latitudes are apt to-take only a hasty glance at the sky before retreating to" the com- fort "of the' nearest fireplace--it is then that the full glory of the heav- ens is. shown. Bright stars appear in: such, .profusion that they seem to crowd each other from horizon to horizon, shining over the earth with white splendor as they revolve in their remote and unchangeable Nor is their sudden bril- liance due to the fact that stars shine more brightly through the "thin, 'chill atmosphere of winter, although this' may add something to the display, bu: purely to coinci- denice, The intrinsic brightness of the winter stars is greater than those of summer, : The richest galaxy comprises the constellations which are overliead dbout midnight in December, about ten o'clock in January, and eight in February, They center round that giant figure of Orion which 'is by far the most splendid group of stars in the skies, a figure so shap- ed that it is easy to see in it exactly what the ancients saw 'there: A warrior, . huge in size, heroic in strength encompassing the universe with his mighty strides. "It needs no soaring imagination to find the fig- ure of a giant in Orion's stars. _ There are his wide shoulders, his head, his jeweled belt, his hanging sword. There in his arm, upraised, shaking his club in the face of the Bull. Ags he circles the sky, it is not hard to fancy that the great hunter of long ago is still pursuing his quarry in those far reaches of - freaven where the winds are swift and the meadows long. Because of its distinctive shape and because its location is such that northern observers never see it set, the Great Bear may have been the sourcé of more legends in ancient days than was Orion. It-is more widely familiar, But for sheer bril- liance and wealth of stars, Orion has no rival.--From "The Stars in our* Heavens," by Peter Lum.

How They Put Those Ships In Bottles A recent ¢xhibition aboard a ship in the Thames re-awakened interest in that enigma of the sailor's skill, the ship in a 'bottle. The making of these models is something of a lost art to-day. Three hundred years ago the ship in a bottle was a popular house orna- ment, and every mariner worth his salt knew how to construct one. The work called for a slight degree of skill and an infinité amount of patience. It is possible to construct a full- rigged model of a sailing ship, three inches high and complete down to the last detail, inside a bottle whose aeck is not more than half an inch wide. The best method is by making the model with a hull just small enough to pass through the bottle- neck. The masts are laid flat along' ithe hull and their bases are tipped with glue, Then the hull is pushed through the bottle-neck and the 'masts and rigging pulled erect with a piece of thread. The glue is left to harden, and when the masts are secured in their upright position the tell-tale thread can be cut away and the evidence is destroyed. Some of the experts deny. that this is the correct method. Just to prove their point, they may be able to produce a ship whose hull alone is larger than the bottle-neck, thus eliminating the thread possibility. In this method ~"the hull is fed 'through the bottle-neck in sections. As onc section is fitted inside, it is painted with glue by a long brush to make a base for the following section, The delicate rigging has to be "ibuilt .up inside the bottle with a 'specially elongated pair of pincers, and this calls for a great degree of ~ skill than the simple thread method. The results are generally worth while, for a ship in a bottle such as this will confront the landlubber with a sceming impossibility? The head of a household in Santa Fe became furious when his family refused to turn of a blaring radio broadcast, He pulled out a pistol .and sent a bitllet into the machine. --"Pot-au-feun"", ot dane Andrews J [ABLE TALKS A French cookery expert says that "if you have once mastered the simple dish: we call pot-au-feu" you can then claim to be a cook." course, simply means "pot on the fire" it is a very" fine way of using a comparatively inexpensive.cut of meat, " Essentially it is a piece of beef not fit for romstihg--shin, plate, chuck and so on--cooked slowly with vegetables till it becomes fork- tender. French "households often enjoy it once a week or even often- er, and I think your family will "go for it" too if made according to the following recipe. : * * * POT-AU-FEU 4 pounds beef with bone (brisket, rump, shin, plate, chuck or round) ; 3-quarts cold water 1 tablespoon salt ; * Bouquet garni (bay léaf, fourth- teaspoon thyme, half-teaspoon peppercorns, three cloves, four sprigs parsley and few celery leaves, tied in cheesecloth bag) "2 cups mixed chopped vegetables, (onion, carrots, celery, white ' turnips, parsnip) 6 leeks, white part only 3 carrots, quartered 6 cabbage wedges 6 potatoes, whole or quartered. (1) Place meat in a large soup kettle. 'Add water, salt and bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, skimming often, Lower temperature and sim- mer till meat is almost tender-- four hours or longer, (2) Add chopped vegetables and those cut in larger pieces, Simmer till latter are tender--abont forty- five minutes. ? (3) To serve, rémove meat to serving platter and surround with large pieces of vegetables. Keep warm. Serve broth with chopped vegetables as a first course. Any ex- cess may be refrigerated for later use. (Chill. remove fat and use wherever soup stock is required.) Yield: six portions. Note: if a fatty cut of meat is employed, the - dish is best made a day in advance, refrigerated and the fat removed be- fore reheating the pot-au-feu and scrving, ' Should any left-over chicken car- cass be available, this, too, may be added to the pot-au-feu along with 'the raw meat. Or a whole chicken may be cooked at the same time in the broth; it will give something to the stock, and the stock and Wvege- tables something to it. The chicken may be carefully refrigerated for later .meals in salad, creamed, or merely sliced cold. Probably one will only want to include a chicken 'in the pot is (1) the utensil is very large and (2) food is being prepared for poss than two or three persons * that today comprise many house- holds. . "URES EI MER RE CO Cool fall days may remind you sof the richer meats that you. have neglected - during the "summer months, and pork is probably No. 1 on this appetite-satisfying list. . Whatever cut you choose, pork should be cooked at a moderate temperature, and cooked thorough- ly. This is an unvarying rule for "preparing this meat--a meat that is _ obtainable in a wide variety be- cause it is sold both fresh and smoked. ' If you do not use a meat ther- mometer, allow 30 minutes per pound for pieces of pork weighing five pounds or over, and about 45 © minutes per pound for smaller pieces (chops are an exception, re- quiring only about 30 minutes per pound except when a recipe calls for more). BAKED PORK CHOPS AND CORN Vs-inch- thick pork chops Creamed or scalloped corn ~~ Green pepper Pimiento Brown chops in heavy skillet and place on top of casserole of cream- ed whole-kernel corn (it can be fresh, canned 'or frozen) to which bits: of green pepper and 'pimiento have been added: Cover and bake at 350 degrees F. until chops are ten- der. ; If you like stuffed pork cliops with baked apples, have chops cut thicker (about 1 inch) and trim a little fat off the edges. Brown chops on one side and leave in skillet, brown side- up. Pack a gencrous mount of highly seasoned stuffing over entire crop and put trimmed- off fat on top of stuffing (this makes them self-basting), and bake tor one hour at 350 degrees F, Apples, ready for baking may be- put in the same skillet and, baked with the chops. WRONG AGAIN The orderly officer was going his . rounds at breakfast and stopped at one table with the usual query, "Any complaints?" One man jumped to his feet and said: "Yes, sir, thisT tea tastes of chloride of lime." : The officer took the mug, sniffed the contents, then sipped delicately. "Nonsense", he prongnced, "that's varbolic acid!" press clippings ca "that amazed everybody, Reluctant Dragon--Winston Churchill, owner of one of the world's most famous faces, hates to sit for his picture. For two years our London bureau has been trying to induce him to sit for a new formal 'portrait. The other day he consented to*"stand" for this portrait. Conservative Party leaders, wanting to present visual evidence that the 77-year-old leader was fit to assume power if the voters so choose in-the Oct. 25 general election, induced him to pose. Churchill stood uneasily for two minutes on the terrace of his home at Westerham. Then he strode back into the house without a word. Judge for yourself whether he looks ready to assume the burdens of another term as prime minister. ; We liave previously iwritten more than once regarding the disadvan- tages of coopering a column such as this, which must be written some time in advance and so is llable to be somewhat out of date by the time it appears. - However, the system has its advantages too. For instance, as this is written the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers have just started their 3-game National League playoff series, and the result of even the first set-to- is stil] in doubt, Therefore we are taking the liberty "of Tepro- ducing here part of our column which appeared way back during the first week in March. First of all we dealt with National League prospects as follows: pg 1] * In the National League, Brook- lyn looks to be a cinch. They should have won last year, and probably would have done so but for a late- season slump occasioned, in all probability, by sowg of the Dodgers getting the not-unuswal notion that * * Anyway, the figures "show the Dodgers winning by a fairly com- fortable margin, their keenest con- - tention coming from the Philadel- phia Phillies, who figure to sag a bit from their 1950° drive--a drive including themselves. So that's the way the dope reads. --Brooklyn Dodgers, first, Phila- delphia Phillies second. Therefore, with our cuStomary mule-like con- sistency, we are selecting neither of the two. Our pick for the National League Pennant -- and, when jit. comes to that, for the . World Series--is the New York Giants. x LJ * Having done its duty by the Na- tional League that March column went on to deal with the junior loop thus: - * * * We turn next to the American League and here wesfind that the figures make it cven easier for a *- * prognosticator to choose the wine ner: Boston Red: Sox, by as far as a circus press agent can toss the bull, is what it looks like. Steve O'Neill has the pitchers; he has the hitters; and in addition to one of the best infields in baseball -- Pesky, Stephens, Doerr and. Dropo --he now has added Lou Boudreau --a very handy guy to have around at all times, * * + Yes, indeed, it looks as if Mr. CS O'Neill might be suffering from - what one word-painter described as "a plethora of riches." In fact, Steve might be like the egg who found himself with five aces in his hand in a poker game--on his own deal-- and was puzzled about how to get rid of the extra one. * * * "So Boston Red Sox it is, accord- ing to the crystal ball, and if the have any trouble at all making the grade it should come from the direction of Detroit, where Red Rolfe has a team that should im- prove on last season's form--which wasn't so bad after all. » * + But if you think we're predicting a World Series between Boston Red Sox and New York Giants, you aren't aware of the way our re- ET J OV-NO VIO) AED AOD q0) 3 (101 FROM COAST TO COAST IT'S JOHNSON 1 DAN § PRO) 04 0) DA Plumbing and Heating Supplies MS ICELE | NOMS nha Bahai - { Address : PLEASE SEND CATALOGUE AND PRICES ville, Ont -- -- -- rans I TET EE Per SEP PPT ITO PP?

Along about next. for an all-New York serigs--Giants versus Yankees --with Leo Durocher's club finally taking it all. . . . We started off by saying that having to toss together a column ten days or so in advance has its advantages, Now you'll sée what at least one of them happens to be, By the time you read this, the Dodgers may have eliminated Leo Durocher"s amazing crew and the World Serics between Brooklyn and the Yanks will have passed into history. But, for the moment, we are in a position to take a few bows for having called ' the two New York teams, right at the very start of the season--and when you think back on how badly both seemed to be outclassed around that time ,it wasn't such a terrible call, at that. - There's the old saying, of course, that he who laughs last laughs best. Still ,he who laughs first is sure of having his--so come on you Giants. Chewing Gum Drs. Samuel Dreizen and Tom D. Spies report in thie Journal of the American Dental Association that immediately after "meals vol- unteers chewed sugat®iree gum that contained a nitrofuran. (Nitro- furans are substances used princi- pally as anti-bacterial agents in dressings for wounds to prevent infection.) X-ray examinations at the end of the year revealed that the group had developed an average of only 0.8 new cavities compared with an average of 3.0 new cavities for a control group 'that chewed the specially prepared gum without the nitrofuran, In the third group that chewed no gum an average of 3.8 new cavities developed.
