Children, it was said are in the habit of stripping off, and entering the water, regardless of passersâ€"by. A decision was made to provide police supervision in an effort to restrain the offenders. Captain A. Miller, secretary and general manager of the Islington Golf and Country Club, appeared beâ€" fore the councla' asking ?or a fair consideration of water rates. â€" The club, he said, was forced by the drought conditions to apply for a water supply. This, Captain Miller explained, was the first occasion in 12 years. As a point of interest, Works Commissioner W. H. Walker ‘quoted from a report, issued by the iMeteorulofiica] Bureau, stating that the rainfall for the first six months ‘uf the year was 10.1 inches as comâ€" pared with the average rainfall over |the corresponding period of 16.5 | inches. 15 Years in Weston ; A letter from Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare and Municipal Affairs, inviting the reeves and mayors of municipalities to attend a â€" conference â€" at the â€" Parliament Buildings on July 25, was read. That "new brooms sweep clean" is agpreciated by British railways, for they spend over £30,000 a year on these homely articles. From brooms we slip to soap, dusters, house flanâ€" nels, scourers, and metal polish. Then there is glassware, hardware, crockâ€" ery, cooking utensils, cutlery, _ and plate. There are towels, tablecloths, s;‘wnge cloths and linen to be purâ€" chased, while acres of carpets, linoâ€" léum, upholstery, canvas, and calico provide employment in various indusâ€" tries. One railway spent £44,000 in a year on linen; another £55,000 for sponge cloths and cotton waste in a like period. £10,000 was the bill for a year‘s soap supply of one company, while £38,000 was spent by another on crockery and glassware. Clothing is another heavy item, for included |in the annual requirements are 3,600,â€" 000 yards of cloth, 520,000 pairs of trousers, _ 451,000 _ jackets, 173,000 overcoats, 250,000 caps, 150,000 ties, and 90,000 pair of gloves.

Two small boys were returning to the boathouse after a very successful fishing trip. "We must come here again, Bill. Did you mark the spot where we caught them all?"

When he applied to the Edmonton Council for a permit to place the memorial bearing the inâ€" scrilgtion: "In loving memory of Thomâ€" as Dymond, who entered into restâ€"of sweet disposition and loved by all who knew him," he was told that all except his name must be stricken out. Dyâ€" mond held that the words he used were those describing him when he retired from his job. Mgpn Lisa, better known perhaps as La Gioconda, was painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the year 1500. The wonâ€" derful portrait, which has attracted such worldâ€"wide admiration, is that of the third wife of an obscure official of Florence, and it is said that Leonardo engaged musicians to play and sing while she sat to him so as to keep the enigmatic smile upon her lips. Unâ€" doubtedly the master had found a model to his liking. Francis 1 of France acquired the picture from the painter. â€" More than a hundred ygars later the Duke of Buckingham, sent over to negotiate the marriage of Charles I with Henrietta Maria, wished to take it to England. In 1911 Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre, but was returned two years later. Many of the cireus and vaudeville feats which are performed today were performed in the circuses and amphiâ€" theatres which drew large audiences 5,000 years ago. Frescoes were reâ€" cently uncovered in Crete by an eminâ€" ent archaeologist, which represent a charging bull about to toss a girl poised on its horns, while another girl is standing behind apparently waiting to catch her. A man is represented turning â€" somersaults <on _ the . bull‘s back. _ All of these performers are dressed in costumes which very much resemble those worn by modern bareâ€" back riders. WHY IS A PURSER 8O CALLED? "LOVE" TOMBSTONE BARRED Originally the purser was the disâ€" purser, the man who held the ship‘s purse and paid out from it. Bourse, the modern continental term for exâ€" change or moneyâ€"market, is really the same word as purse, and so the purser might have been called the disâ€" burser, just as the man of business of many old colleges is ‘technically the bursar, CIRCUS FEATS ARE ANCIENT On ships the term in time became A FAMOUS PORTRAIT OLDSMOBILE © KNEEâ€"ACTION FRONT WHEEL S HORSE POWER ENGINE RIDE STABILIZER J.
