Hypnotism -- rightly enough in many cases -- is basking in an aura of respectability nowadays It is common knowledge that it is successfully used in cases of childbirth and teeth extraction, for instance, and its success in such contexts has been acknowl- edged by doctors of the highest integrity. But hynotism is a double- edged sword. As with perhaps none other of the healing arts, it can be used by an unscrupul- ous expert for the furtherance qf the most evil and disgraceful ends, The ordinary person, who in- stinctively trusts any profession- al expert implicitly--be he doctor or lawyer or dentist or psycholo- gist -- or hypnotist -- shoyld be warned of this danger. It is inevitable that hypnosis can easily be involved in sex. Even when "open and above board" music-hall "turns" were staged, consisting of hypnosis demonstrations, this was at once evident. Those performances (which were, incidentally, deprecated and denounced by, among others, the late Lord Horder, one of the most famous of physicians) were seldom edifying and often dan- gerous to the subjects, who were recruited from the audience. It was nearly invariable for the hypnotist to suggest to women, in order to raise a laugh, that they should do what they would never ordinarily dream of doing. Obscenity was never far away. On some of the volunteers from the audience the lasting effect was injurious. And a law- suit against a hynotist by one woman, who alleged she had be- come a melancholic after her experience at the hands of a music-hall hypnostist, put an end to that particular form of enter- tainment. And not too soon. on all accounts. Hypnotism. whatever its mer- its may be, is certainly a danger when it is in unscrupulous hands, even though nobody can be persuaded by hypnotic influ- ence to do what is foreign to his or her nature. That, however, is not a sufficient safeguard, be- cause .a hypnotized subject might be impelled to give rein to in- stincts which are latent and would remain latent if the pos- sessor had not been hypnotized. A genuine saint could not be persuaded to behave like Bill Sikes. But a potential criminal, who would otherwise restrain his inclinations, might easily indulge them if the hypnotist put that thought into his mind. As we have already stated, the possi- bilities with young women who, though of weak character in cer- tain respects would normally re- main virtuous, require no ela- boration.

A man who des- cribed himself as a hypnotist- healer -- his fees were enormous -- attempted at the outset to in- duce a young woman undergoing treatment to take off her clothes, and he strenuously reinforced that attempt at subsequent ses- sions. Ultimately he tried to assault her, The woman broke off the treat- ment and sued the hypnotist for the return of the money she had paid as fees, and, of course, won her case. In delivering judgment, Judge Hamilton said of the hypnotist: "He is nothing hut an unmiti- gated rascal, a rogue and a fraud. Everyone of experience knows that the greatest possible harm can be done to people who sub- ject themselves to the careless treatment of unqualified persons attempting to use hypnotism." That is strong language, but not too strong for any of those who are unmitigated rascals. es- pecially as some of them. hav- ing established a dominance over weak-willed people, add to their ill-gotten gains by blackmail. Hypnotism has, indeed, shown that it can be a power for good when practised by men of char- acter, but recourse to it should be made only on the advice of registered practitioners. AND IT SHOULD BE STRICTLY SU- PERVISED. -- From "Tit-Bits". Bird Saves Man From Drowning The mighty albatross, king of sea birds that soar, is in trouble with the men of the U.S. Navy. More than 130,000 of these birds, which have stupendous powers of flight and wings which may measure up to 15 ft, from tip to tip, have become a serious menace to alrcraft on- Midway Island in the Pacific. U.S. Navy planes are based there and trouble occurs when,' during the nesting season which begins in November and Decem- ber, the birds cross the runways. In one year there have been 500 collisions, some resulting in death to the birds and damage to aircraft. If drawn into the air intake tubes of jet planes, the alba- trosses could cause crashes, so the airmen are trying to per- suade the birds to leave the is- land. Scarecrows, smoky fires and signal lights are being used, but the albatrosses show no sign of quitting. It is now planned to pave wide areas round the run- ways so that the birds can't in future scrape out hollows for their nests, When designing rapid-soaring and other special aircraft in the twenties and thirties, experts studied the albatross as the most perfect example of a flying ma- chine. Attempts are still being made to wring from the bird some of its flying secrets. No one likes to kill or harm an albatross. An old supersti- tion of sailors that ill luck at- tends the killing at sea of an albatross is the theme of Cole- ridge's poem, "The Ancient Mar- A German naval officer who fought in the first world war revealed that he owed his life to an albatross. While serving as a boy in a windjammer he was washed overboard. He managed to keep himself afloat until help arrived by holding on to the legs of a giant albatross which had swoop- ed down to attack him in the water. His hands were lacerated badly and the scars remained with him for life. An enormous albatross follow- ed the Repulse for about a hun- dred miles in 1925 when the Duke of Windsor--then Prince of Wales--was sailing in her, He and others aboard filmed the bird. Another albatross followed a ship for 3,000 miles. The bird can ride mountainous waves in perfect comfort but sailors say he is apt to suffer from seasickness when, on rare occasions, he lands on the deck of a ship. He is also quite un- able to take off from the deck. He is usually put into the water again and flies off, none the worse for his experience. Albatrosses were once killed so that the old churchwarden pipe stems could be made out of their wing bones. "BEST" FOR SUNDAY Remember when brought out her "best" china only for Sundays and company? Wise modern homemakers know fine bone china can, and should, be used every day. The high con- tent of bone ash makes it more durable and economical than cheaper eathenware or other kinds of china.

Grandma Use Fireflies To Help Romance If someone told you that there are pretty girls who sometimes floodlight themselves to dazzle and attract young men, you'd probably think your leg was be- ing pulled. But it's a fact. It happens in Brazil. At fiestas and dances girls use fireflies -- fascinating luminous insects--to illuminate their slender curves. The fireflies glow in the dark so pretty senoritas who want sweethearts or husbands catch them, place them in gauze-cov- ered boxes and hurry home where they transfer them to tiny transparent tulle bags--one fly to each bay. These bags are then used to adorn the girls' bodies--from their black hair to their slim legs, including wrists and an- kles. Young men find the glow emitted by the fireflies irresisti- ble. Romance follows. One of the world's loveliest sights is the dance of the fire- flies at twilight. The intermit- tent light flashes are signals that enable these strange insects to find their mates. This lumin- ous organ is controlled by the insects' nervous system, enabl- ing them to signal at will to attract other fireflies. A firefly's light is never strong. One firefly gives out a light less than one 200th of a candle-power. The astonishing substance which is the basis of this living light is called luci- ferin. Scientists say that it ap- pears to be inexhaustible. There's no burning, no heat. And if only science could harness it, it would revolutionize lighting systems all over the world and perhaps make electric light out of date.

Clarke All kinds of nice things hap- ; pened last 'week. Did you no- tice? More and more song birds could 'be heard from the tree- tops; buds on trees and. shrubs were: visibly swelling and tardy spring bulbs finally came into bloom, Forsythia was just right for bringing into the house. Branches I placed in warm wa- ter were in full bloom within three days. And the weather « +.» warm, bright sunshine, with occasional thunder-showers made the transition from stand- ard to daylight saving time al- most painless, On the whole it was a lovely week. Perhaps a little too wet underfoot to do much in the garden but just fine for poking around to see what plant life had survived the win- ter. Partner has been doing a bit of rolling -- he finally treated himself to a lawn roller so we hope a few kinks in the lawn will get straightened out, espe- cially where trenches were dug last year for water mains. This morning, the first work- day on DST, was quite a panto- mime around here. One fellow came running out of his house, thirty minutes late, into his car and away 'like nobody's. busi- ness. At another house the father commutes and the mother drives two children to different schools. There were hasty exits there too. Mother got as far as our place, evidently found one boy had forgotten something, so she drove the car backwards just as fast as she had been coming forwards. All this hap- pened in the few minutes Part- ner was on the step waiting to intercept the milkman -- who also was late. It is urban peo- ple who agitate for DST and yet they are the very ones who get caught napping in the change- over. Bob, Joy and the two little fel- lows were here Sunday. They were late too -- waiting for the boys to wake up from their afternoon sleep. Apparently all the confusion occurs during the first few days of DST. By the end of a week no one knows the difference between one time and another. Not even farmers. It isn't now that fast time is a worry to the farmers. It is dur- ing haying and hatvest when they must wait for the dew to dry off the hay and grain. Hav- ing lived on a farm and away from it too I am now able to assess the advantages and dis- advantages of our perennial time problem. Every year many farmers say -- "Leave the clocks the way they should be. Peo- ple who want extra daylight can get up an hour earlier." That is true, but alas, at six o'clock in the morning the spirit is far from willing and the flesh is very weak, Just lately I have been think- ing a lot about shopping -- and how we can save money by be- ing on our toes for bargains. The only way I see it is to be foresighted; figure out our .re- quirements and wait for bar- gains to be advertised, Every mother knows her children are going to need jeans and T-shirts and that father's socks and shorts will need replacing; and maybe she nceds an odd dress or two. As for the house, its "needs are multiple, Here is what often happens. The family has a gala day and goes shopping. Mother knows exactly what she wants and very often can't get it, so she settles for the next best thing and maybe pays more 'than she intended. This sort of thing. can be prevented by watching the advertisements and buying a little ahead of time either from catalogues or local stores. Seasonal bargains are offered from time to time and are worth consideration. They may be "loss-leaders" and per- haps shouldnt be allowed but as long as they are there we might as well take advantage of them. In other words strike while the iron is hot. Even name-brand staple goods can often be bought-cheaper in one store than another. For instance - Dee uses a lot of frozen orange juice. I get it for her as it is six cents cheaper for two cans where I shop. In return she gets me an occasional L.P. record -- special while they. last. At my store they have classical L.P.

Willingly and happily he followed me. I walk- ed out smartly, he came by my side' in short leaps, back arched, which movements he very much reminded me of a weasel. Only his size and his strong trailing tail betrayed him as an otter. When we arrived at the water, Ingo just dipped his nose in, shyly and briefly, and then start- ed to walk along the shore, I, however, went straight through the water. He was desperate. With head held high, he galloped along the bank. "What are you doing? You've never done this before! Come back to me!" -- said his expression and his des- pairing cry, But the swishing of the water made by my wading sounded en- ticing.~He probably remembered the familiar sound of the filling of his tub, He waited for me on the bank, stood up on his hind legs, and sniffed my fishing boots. "They smell good. Water, wet grass and earth, I like that." Head and forepaws remained a little while lying on my feet. Then he sprang up, and a sudden wild joy pos- sessed him, At ever faster speed, in large and small circles, he raced round me, His heavy tail swung this way and that and often dragged. him off his bal- ance. Every movement express- ed such unmistakable happiness and contentment .that I had to watch this delirious happy round- about to its end. In just the same manner otters enjoy themselves in their wild: state. I have never been ablé to observe them at it, but their cir- cles trodden deep into the snow -reveal this,- When Ingo was tired, he lay down breathless at my feet and seemed entirely contented. He then drank-a little water, but displayed no further desire for adventure,. and simply trotted contentedly home by my side, It is a fact that an otter will never immediately accept anything strange. He takes his time, but . he always comes back to it. Ingo was no exception to this rule, and eventually he came to terms with those mysterious stretches of water in the wilds of Nas; at first he investigated the liftle puddles, then the larger pools. When he finally discovered his innate ability, he was de- lighted . .. Even the river lost its terrors. records. So now I have quite a number of good records that have cost very little. } There are necessities around the house that have been re- placed in much the same way -- just by waiting for advertise- ments, Friday I went down town with a neighbour to a three-day rug sale -- we needed a hall runner in the worst way. I got it -- at quite a reduction. As an extra we saw President De Gaulle on the way in! However, not everything you want is advertised, Partner likes a special kind of sock that is stocked by only a few stores. Where to find them is often a problem, Last week I phoned the manufacturers and asked where these particular socks could be. purchased. They told me and I got them. No trouble at all, once I knew where. Now I've got to find where I can buy coloured -balbriggan T-shirts. Stores around here have sudden- ly decided to stock only white. Ingo risked plunging into the wide, calm inlets, then went deeper and deeper into the stream, until, like a wild otter, he swam everywhere, dived into the depths and sent silver pearls of air swimming up to the sur- face above his track. -- From "Ingo: The Story of My Otter," by Walter von Sanden. : Modern Etiquette By Anne Ashley Q. What types of letters must always be written by hand, ra. ther than typewritten? A. Letters of condolence, for- mal invitations (those written 'in the third person), and most letters of congratulation, such as on the occasion of an engagement, the birth of a baby, etc., also the thank-you notes of a bride for the gifts she has received. Q. Is it necessary to mail en- graved wedding invitations to close friends who have already been invited verbally? A. It is always correct to mail engraved invitations -- even to members of the immediate fami- lies. : Q. Which ring is presented first in a double-ring wedding cere- mony? A. The bridegroom places his ring on the bride's finger first. ERR IR ll 5S SS S EE [ by Laura Thrifty! Easy! So satisfactory!
