But, there were not enough trees for Selfridge‘s liking. ' "Yes," said Selfridge, well sat-i isfied, "I‘ll buy it. What‘s the; prige?"

In 1939, Rosita Forbes, the novelist, and her h us band bought . a West Indian island named Eleuthera, had a house built and took over some cows and a few sheep. But the war destroyed their dream. There used to be a popular music hallâ€"song that ran, "Put Me Upon An Island." A great many people have an urge to live alone, or with their wives (or the wives of other men) on an island. An English paper that carried the advertisement. "Wanted: an island, furnished or unfurnished," brought 300 letâ€" ters from people with islands to sell, and twice that rumber from others wanting to know if there were any islands going. In 1938 there were five islands off the coast of Brittany for sale. These were situated in the Deâ€" partment of Cote du Nord, two miles from the mainland at Paimpol. The estate, which conâ€" sisted of 110¢ acres, included the islands Beniguet, Raguenes, Crouzen, Guiermgore, and Roâ€" losquet. The scenery is magnificent and the isles contain an abundâ€" ance of subâ€"tropical plants such as are found in the South of France. On the main island were a number of furnished villas equipped with electric light and central heating. There are many "kings" who own islands, apart from wellâ€" known people like Mrs. Hath-i away, Dame of Sark. Some, like Louis Rice Wasey, own wellâ€" populated islands. Wasey‘s‘ Island, Cat Cay, in the West Indies, belonged to the younger brother of Fieldâ€"Marshal Ear) Haig, who was a bachelor and lived there for twentyâ€"three years before his death. The island, together with the origiâ€" nal deed issued and signed by Queen Victoria, passed to Wasey for a nominal sum. But that isn‘t the sort of island that most people want. They hanker for some small, isolated place like Dunk Island off the coast of Queensland, on which Mr. Banfield, naturalist and author, lived with his wife for twentyâ€"fivg years. Dunk is less than three square miles in area. . The Banfields spent their days watching birds, beasts, reptiles and fish, and became so attached to some of their "subjects" that they would not even keep bees because they did not like the thought of them being devoured by beeâ€"eating birds. They lived a simple, happy life and left behind them a record of activity that will be useful to others for centuries to come, \ The Formula. In Chicago, J Frank Winebrenner, 91, revealed the secret of 72 years of success ful marriage with his wife Tres sa, 90: "We did little fussin‘, we said little; mostly we just set." | _ One local species I had failed| to get was a baboon. Early on |the morning after our arrival \we had heard an uproar in the (‘valley immediately below. Lookâ€" ‘ing out, we had seen dozens cf |baboons wending their way up %both sides of the ravine. Eventuâ€" ‘ally they trooped past our long ‘unoccupied house. A man who’ |had just arrived with a snake| |for sale declared that the unimalsi |had been disturbed by a lion | whose footprints showed . it had‘ |entered the lower end of the {ravine early that morning. As‘ we stood watching the baboons from the open doorway, several of them were seen to pause and |pick up some wild fruit. Subâ€" {sequently children from Martin‘s “villagc, bringing rats and snails |discovered the fruit and ran ‘\around gleefully gathering all \they could find. We learned that |it was the fruit (Masuku in \Nyanja) of the Msuko (plural \Misugo) or Msuku (Uapaca kirâ€" \kians) that was so relished. The better to observe the baâ€" boons Mary and Billy collected fallen fruit from ~a prolific msuko growing farther down the slope and scattered it , beâ€" heath the trees nearer the house. There Thomas and Dundon found it and were so obviously enjoyâ€" the feast I had not the heart to shoo them away. I did raise my arms and incline my head as if sighting them long the barrel of an infaginary gun. Understandâ€" ing the inference they laughed. Thomas said that in times of scarcity their womenfolk gath-i ered msuko and mashed it in t bowl. The pulp was orangeâ€"colâ€" ored with a faint flavour of honey. I tried some but could not â€" muster _ any _ .enthusiasm though M. & B. apparently liked lis as much as did the boys and baboons. 2 Monkey Business During our last days at Nchisi the fruit ripened rapidly so that visits from the baboons became an almost daily source of 'amuse~‘ ment to M. & B. They selected an ifconspicuous spot among the trees where they might sit and watch for the arrival of the animals. Mary reported that one infant sat bolt upright on its mother‘s rump as, pausing from time to time to. transfer more ftuit from the ground to her alâ€" ready bulging mouth, she stalkâ€" ed leggily along. Another youngâ€" ster habitually remained behind until the rest of the troop were well away whereupon he would scamper after them. Once the dawler climbed into a low tree after all his companions had moved on . . . An old male baâ€" boon appeared out of the underâ€" growth and without pausing in his walk, reached up and gave the youngster a cuff that sent him _ or her, scurrying and shicking after the others. From "I Drank the Zambez!," by Arthur Loveridge. ‘ "The lawn is perhaps the most important feature in any garâ€" den layout and yet it is often the most neglected. For some reason or other a. lot of people seem to think that grass will take care of itself. It is not realâ€" ly â€" difficult or expensive . to create a really good lawn. Here are the major points to keep in mind: The Center Piece â€" It is much ?siér to get the ground level and the top soil fine before the lawn is seeded than afterwards, and level and fine it should befor best results in‘ the usual location: On hillsides,| slopes should be made as graduâ€"| al as possible and instead of one| long sharp one, two or three level® with terraces, rock gar-‘ dens or shrubbery and steps in between are advisable. 1 Use the best seed. Except for very special purposes like putâ€" ting or bowling greens, the best seed consists of mixtures of sevâ€" eral fine grasses. Some of these come quickly, some do best late in the season, some have richer color and so on. These are blended together to produce uniformity of texture and color throughout the season and for various regions of Canada. Seedâ€" ing should be done early, before the hot weather, or after it in the fall. Lawns should> be fed, like any other plant. One good apâ€" plication of fertilizer, rich in nitrogen, is advisable every year or so. Permanent Plantings In choosing . shrubbery andf trees for planting around the} home one should keep in mind! the height of buildings and\ fences nearby. With the modern bungalow or the low ranchk house it would be a great misâ€" take â€" to surround with . tall! things, though one or two fair| sized trees, 50 or 100 feet away1 may add interest. It is also wel]1 to note the mature size of every \shrub and tree and to allow for‘ full development. Far too many !people make the mistake of lp]anting shrubbery _ right up iagainst the house wall and then‘ wonder why it grows scraggly, }if at all. ‘These things must have room to develop. They should be at least half as far away from any fence or wall as they will be high at maturity. That means at least two to four feet for most shrubs in the averâ€" age Canadian climate. Another thing to avoid is planting unâ€" der a low overhanging roof. It iwill keep out too much sun and rain. & pA sns Shrubs, trees and vines need most attention in early spring. They should be cultivated then and given a feeding of manure or other. plant food. Spring is also the time for pruning which mainly consists of thinning. shaping, letting in the light and removing weakened or dead ‘branches, can be carried on safeâ€" ly from February to early June There are a few particular points to remember. Early flowâ€" ering shrubs like the forsythia and spirea are best pruned afâ€" ter blooming not before, and some fruit trees, grapes and such which "bleed" excessively should be pruned very early in February or March. With ornaâ€" mental shrubbery and trees one is advised to encourage the natâ€" ural form rather than shape drastically. In any planting of this kind it is a good plan to mix in some evergreens principally because they will add beauty andâ€"shelâ€" ter in the winter months when other things are bare. Negotiable. In Santa Rosa, Calif., sheriff‘s deputies, sent to John Blum‘s grocery to collect $300 in alimony, found only $75 in the till, quickly got the balance after showing Blum a writ orâ€" desing them to seize "any or all coffee possessed by the defendâ€" ant." ‘wow!

Good/ : Gordon Smith City Street Is â€" Heated By Gas Out Of The Past â€" This volume, believed to be the oldest typeâ€" graphic book known, probably turned out by Johann Gutenberg more than 500 years ago, is now in Pierpont Morgan Library. It‘s a 376â€"page book containing all the major masses and was printed for the Roman Catholic diocese of Constance, Germany. Frederick B. Adams, Jr., director of the library, holds the Consâ€" tance missal above a case containing a Gutenberg Bible. Adams says it is the most important printed book ever acquired by an American librarg. Previously the famed Gutenberg Bible had been considered the first book printed from movable type. In Bremen this winter an idea‘ has been tried out by the local authoritites which sets a prc-} sedent for lighting and warming shopping thoroughfares by gas fires. + Walk up, walk up, and see what is claimed to be theâ€" world‘s first centrallyâ€"heated street! _ Pedestrians, whether business people, shoppers, or shop gazers, appreciate the comfort of an artificially created warm tem perature in an open street. Bremen‘s famous Soegestrasse for its whole length has been provided with a heating system! consisting of gas fires mounted above the shop windows. On both sides of ‘the thoroughfare are mounted infraâ€"red reflecting mirrors at a height of about ten feet. The heat from the gas fires strikes these mirrors and is reflected downwards and acros: the street. â€" The idea, say the authorities. is not merely .to attract visitors and thereby more custom to the shops in the street, but also to keep the Soegestrasse free from snow and sleet in bad weather ‘They estimate that the considerâ€" ‘able cost of installing the hea:â€" ‘ing system is already being rapâ€" idly recovered in other ways. Still a young man, but vicâ€" timized by cerebral palsy from birth, and one of a family of seventeen childrenâ€"fourteen are still living â€" Christy Brown of Dublin is a human miracle. He was born, doctors thought, with some injury to his brain. Throughout. his childhood he could not sit, stand, walk or forâ€" mulate words. This physical powerlessness extended to his feet. His limbs were usless, so it seemed. But he could use now ‘and then, very slightly, his left leg and foot. Several friends, including specialists, tried to get his parâ€" ents to put him in a home for mental defectives. They refused. And how splendidly has their faith been rewarded. In 1950, the National Association for Cerebral Palsy took Christy under its wing. And by skilled treatment, much of ‘it new, he learned how to sit, stand, walk a little and finally to speak.
