Some wellâ€"broughtâ€"up children durâ€" ing the Great War confused Germs and Gormans; having been inspired with a wholesome horror of both, they imagined them as one fearful race of bogeys. P. G. Wodehouse, in one of his books, tells of a small boy, who, after being kept sealed up all his life in an aseptic nursery and shielded from all contact with the dirty external world, met his father one day, and asked in horror, "Are you a gorm?"

This _ reduction would bring the 1935 area in potatoes back to the 1933 level, The main reâ€" ductions are in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edâ€" ward Island, Quebec and Ontario. Canadian exports to the Irish Free State in 1934 showed an increase in 1933. In view of the recent legislaâ€" tion of the Free State restricting the imports of flour and encouraging the home production of flour from Irish wheat, it is antipicated that there will be a substantial demand in the future for Canadian hard wheat for blending, Canada supplies New Zealand with some of the scoups used both for measuring the usual halfâ€"globe porâ€" tions of ite cream and for rectanguâ€" lar portions to be inse=ted between wafers. Canada is one of the few countries which is in a position to increase her exports to Great Britain, owing in part to the quota of imports allotted to her, and the import quota and reâ€" strictions applying to foreign counâ€" tries. The only way to deal with these people â€"â€" and the bibliophile, after bitter experience, gets to know them by instinct â€" is to tell them gently, but firmly, that you are going to reâ€"read the bookâ€"which is true, else there would be no sense in keepâ€" mng itâ€"and refer them to the admirâ€" able facilities of the public library. They may be disappointed and even suspect you, for they cannot imagine any one wishing to reâ€"read a book. It is not easy to deal with the wouldâ€"be book borrower. If you put him off, he returns like a boomerang. Try to interest him in something you do not greatly value and he sees through your subterfuge in a moment, He seems to have been brought up on these patent medicine ld;ex:tl;; ments which warn us to accept no substitutes. The lender eventually comes to the conclusion that his enthusiasm for a favorite author has cast a moâ€" mentary spell upon the borrower, And the possession of the book, alas, has broken it! So after several polite atâ€" tempts to induce the borrower to reâ€" turn the volume read or unread, preâ€" ferably read, the lender resigns himâ€" self to fate, He gives up all thought of possessing his own copy, or goes out and buys another. Only the secâ€" ond never, somehow has the charm of the first. What bookâ€"lover has not given a favorite volume to an acquaintance, never to see it again! In his eagerâ€" ness to share a treasure, the unsoâ€" phisticated bibliophile parts with it readily, He meets the acquaintance again and asks him how he likes it "O.K.!" is the reply. "I am just half way through the first chapter." That, indeed, is a as far as borrower and lender ever get. The book is always to be, but never is, read. The borâ€" rower is always so tusy. _ (From the Hamilton Spectator) } The other day the encyclopaedic Ripley astonished his readers with an account of a borrowed book returned after 50 years.

Bookâ€"lovers who read the Ripley item would be glad to get back books, even after 50 years.

Windsor.â€"When the Essex Counâ€" ty Holstein Breeders‘ Association held a field day at Walker Farm, Walkerville, Byron Jenvey, of Ingerâ€" soll, Holstein fieldman for Ontario, announced that there was a decided increase in the number of Holsteins registered this year, and also that more Holsteins had been exported this year than for some time past. 10 Canada exported to all parts of the world during the month of March, 1935, farm machinery and implemâ€" ents to the value of $412,199, Includâ€" ed in the exports were 1,859 dozen spades, shovels and parts; 8,933 disc harrows and parts; 3,434 dise harâ€" rows; 656 cultivators; 529 harvesters and binders; 216 mowing machines, and 81 hay rakes, The value of these exports for the 12 months ended March, 1935, amounted to $3,567,258.

A.‘s New President Sees Canada Going Ahead In the Caucasus entirely different experiments are being conducted, The coal is groundâ€"an expensive proâ€" ceeding. To raise the temperature the air pumped into the seam is enâ€" riched with oxygen, Sometimes the oxygen is omitted and the pressure increased. Four distinct zones can be delineâ€" ated in the underground retort, The first is a furnace, The products of combustion are carbon dioxide, carâ€" bon monoxide and hydrogenâ€"a sort of producer gas which has a temperâ€" ature of about 1,000 degrees F. In the second zone coke is formed at a temperature of about 1,200 to 1,800 degree F. The gas generated is largeâ€" ly methane of bigh calorific value. From the third zone comes a gas poor in hydrogen. In the last zone the coal is simply dried, At last gas came offâ€"real coal gas. It was poor, Only 600 to 1,500 calâ€" ories to the cubic meter, The next month its heating value rose to 2,â€" 000 to 2,400 calories to the cubic meâ€" ter. Grindler piped it to the furnace of a boiler and raised steam with enâ€" couraging results. As the steam conâ€" tinued to burn, gas with a heat value of about 5,000 calories to the cubic meter came out of the mineâ€"good enough to burn in the kitchen, But will the quality be maintained? No one knows as yet. qQUALITY OF THE GAS. For a month Grindler saw only smoke coming out, But he let the coal burn. Eventually the temperaâ€" ture rose so high that neighboring strata were heated. Just what be wanted, The tunneled vein and the surrounding rock and clay were now a gigantic underground retort, EXPERIMENTS IN KUSNETZ In Kusnetz, gas coal of high qualâ€" ity is found at a depth of 90 to 100 feet, Grindler sank two shafts sixty feet apart to a seam seventeen feet thick, Then through the coal he dug a rectangular tunnel six and a half feet high and five feet wide to conâ€" nect the two shafts. It was not a straight tunnel, but shaped like half a pentagon. Compressors forced air down one shaft and fans sucked out te producis of combustion from the other, _ So far as this commentator can gather from the available literature, the first efforts completely satisfied the "I told you so" skeptics. Smoke came out of the mine, but even when it was cleaned, the product bore no re:emblance to coal gas. Then an engineer named Grindler appeared. For two years he has been at work in the Kusnetz area. To him must Eo the credit of having made the first promising experiments. Undeterred by what they regard as technical bugaboos and unhampered by the vested interest of gas compâ€" anies (most Russian cities know noth. ing of coal gas as a domestic or inâ€" dustrial fuel), the Soviet engineers are boldly pioneering in a field in which there has been more talk than action. Experiments have been conâ€" aucted since 1926 both in the Kusnetz region in Central Russia and in the Vauscasus. Fully sixty years ago the Russian chem‘st Mendelyey predicted the coming of the day when gas would be generated at or in the coal mine and piped hundreds of miles to cities, Scores of imaginative technicians reâ€" peated the proposal.

These entomologists have not only evolved practical methods of control and extermination, but also numerous effective repellents for use under all sorts of conditions.
