MUSICAL CHRISTMAS B.â€"P. is pictured as a most enterâ€" taining bost, still full of the play spirit of boyhood. _ "At dinner one night."‘ related the visitor, "he gave us his ideas of a Caledonia marketâ€"â€" a jumble of people, shacks, booths and noise, and wound up with a liveâ€" ly portrayal of a coster selling "barâ€" malade." When at home at Pax Hil, Hampâ€" shire, Lord _ Badenâ€"Powell, World Chief Scout, begins his day at 6 a.m. with a walk, accompanied by his three dogs. _ One of these is a big black "Labrador," old and blind. At every stile, relates Mr. J. F. Stewart of Toronto, a summer gues: of the Chief Scout, Badenâ€"Powell helps the old dog over, and guides him through the gate. When they turn back for home, the old dog presses his nose against his master, and is given his cane. Proudly carrying this, the dog goes ahead, and arriving in front of the house, walks slowly in a circle until the Chief Scout comes, and with a pat. takes the cane from hiw. The old British trawler, "Espero," which was used in the filming of Victor Hugo‘s "Toilers of the Sca," is now the fioating home of Sea Scouts of the Island of Gaernsey. The old vessel, which had been abandoned by the moving picture people on the conclusion of their work, had sunk in St. Peter Port Harbor. It was purchased at auction by Rev. G. A. Taitt, and handed over to the Boy Scouts. The Scouts are refitting the old craft, under the guidance of a ship‘s carpenter.

"That‘s not mice," replied the householder. "That‘s the people next door eating celery." They were entertaining friends their new house. Suddenly one the guests sat up and listened. "Surely you are not troubled by mice already?" she said. APPETITE gone ? Sailorâ€" We just dropped our anâ€" chor, lady. Ladyâ€"I thought you would. It‘s been dangling outside for some time. A friend of ours believes it is perâ€" fectly alright for the government to spend a million dollars before breakâ€" fast, but thinks it is a terrible squanâ€" der of money for the city board to spend $3,000 over a period of years for gravelling the streets. "Oh, no, auntie," replied the boy. "What would I do in schoolâ€"I can‘t even read or write?" Fiveâ€"yearâ€"old Billy was talking to his Aunt Mary. She said, "Well," Billy, I suppose you‘ll start to school next year." "Well," she replied, after a moment or two‘s thought, "I think it was the French peasants singing the mayonâ€" naise." Now follows a better way to pare for the morrow: All of us are alwiys going to do better tomorrow, and we would, too, if only we started today. A dear old lady returned from her first visit to France. "What impresâ€" sed you most?" she was asked.

He always sleeps in a corner room which has no walls on two sides; he rises regularly at 6 o‘clock, and goes for a walk with his dogs. On his reâ€" turn he goes through his small mountain of morning mail, and has it ready for his secretary before breakfast. The Chief Scout was described as remarkably active, and "at 81, as fine A story told by B.â€"P. with great zest described a military reception when he was a young officer in India. As a prank, he and another youngster carefully disguised themselves and went as "newspaper correspondents," one allegedly for a French news paper. the other for "a London daily." Chuckling as though the afâ€" fair had happened but yesterday, B.â€" P. recounted the chats he had with various people present, including one elderly lady who was pleased to reâ€" call having met him in London the previous seasonâ€"when B.â€"P. was in India. There is, just now, quite an arguâ€" ment on among those who study the brain and nerves, about worry. Surâ€" prising as it may seem,. there are high authorities upon the subject who say avcertain amount of worry is a good thing. This depends upon what is understood by worry. If it is a mere nervous anxiety, it is bad. If it is more or less calm effort to figure out one‘s troubles and seek to find a remedy, it is, of course, a good thing. "Wall, stranger, we don‘t take weighing machines when we go fishâ€" ing, and I‘m an honest man and would not like to say how much the last trout I caught would weigh,. But when I pulled that fish out of the water, the lake went down a foot." An Englishman visiting an Ameriâ€" can lake asked a native if the place was good for fishing. "Sure, stranger." "What kind of fish?" "Oh, all kinds, stranger." "What did the largest fish you ever caught weigh?" In everyone‘s life there‘s more prose than poetry. Automobiles, radios, dance music and other distractions had lured the young men away from the sea. He added the time was not far distant when Lunenburg‘s famous fleet would put out to sea manned by alien erews. Alrcady ttere was a fairâ€"sized sprinkâ€" ling of sailors from Newfoundland and other countrics manning the Bankers. The future of the fishing industry in Nova Scotia was threatened by a shortage of young men willing to dare the hardships and dangers of Bank fishing, the Bluenose skipper said in an interview. He did not know if this shortage was caused by prosâ€" pect of pcor returns from fishing or whether it was "just the effects of our pleasvreâ€"seeking age." Eluerose sailormen, descendants ot those iron men who sailed wooden ships 50 years ago, are a thing of the Last, in the opinion of Captain Angus Walters, of Halifax, skipper of the Luvnenburg banker Bluenose. ‘"The pleasureâ€"loving generation of today are a bunch of softies," comâ€" mented the man who took command of the Bluenose when launckhed in 1921, and has helped her keep her title of Queen of the North Atlantic Fishing Fleet ever since.

She revived at the sight of her lost husband. "Oh, Squibbs!" she cried, and they embraced as hundreds cheered the return of the man "who went down there." Diamends Found On Lake Bottom His wife screamed and fainted. Porters rushed up. Meanwhile Mr. Thomas plunged at express sneed down a 90â€"foot long steel letter chute to the post office in the tube sistion under the street. Turned Up In Post Office Ten seconds late, breathlecs and aghast, his bowler hat bouncing beâ€" fore him, he shot on to the revolving band, Charlie Chaplin fashion. Dumbâ€" founded postal workers stopped the machinery and picked up the whiteâ€" haired man, who had suffered nothing worse than a slight cus on one hand and a bad shaking up. The South African Government last week despatched a special force Mr. Thomas stepped off the Newâ€" market race train at Liverpool St. station, London, England, and walkâ€" ed across the platform towards a cab.

The production of creamery butter in Canada from January ist to Septemâ€" ber 30th, 1937, amounted to 199,280,â€" 968 Ib. a decrease of 1â€"3 per cent, comâ€" pared with the corresponding months of 1936. Herbert Thompsen, 17 years old, of Camden, N.J., on his way to Hollyâ€" wood for a movie job, dropped off to sleep in a park at San Antonio, Texas.‘ He awoke with a â€" start, body. He had gone to sleep in the park‘s reptile gardens. ‘ Agriculture supplies many of the materials used in making soap. In 1936 in Canada 102 firms reported that soaps, washing compounds, and cleaning materials were their chief products. Forty seven of the firms were in Ontario; 34 in Quebec; 9 in British Columbia; 5 in Manitoba; 5 in Alberta; 1 in New Brunswick and 1 in Saskatchewan, The output of the industry in 1936 totalled $16,313,502, an increase of $111,454 compared with 1935. There is nothing like mass produc» tion of the necessary pumping and piping apparatus, But Kostyakov now hopes for the best. In his opinion the directors of the Third Fiveâ€"Year Plan should not be staggered by the prosâ€" pect of sprinkling 600,0400 hectares of sugar beet (a hectare is 2471 acres), 300,000 hectares of grain, 250,000 hecâ€" tares of miscellaneous experimental crops, 250,000 hectares of orchard and truck and farm land and 200,000 heeâ€" tares of cotton. Twenty thousand of these sprinklers would do the trick, with 70,000 tons of metal going into piping and 100,000 into rainâ€"making equipment proper, A. Kostyakov of the Academy of Sciences describes the system in Izâ€" vestia. According to him, a pump driâ€" ven by the engine of a tractor draws water from a river, irrigation canal or well and forces it through a sprinkâ€" ler system at a pressure of seven to twenty pounds to the square inch. The amount of "rain" thus produced, is reâ€" gulated according to the crop, the slope and the soil, Pump and pipes are moved from field to field. To Cover Millions of Acres What commends itself to the Soviet agricultural engineers about the methâ€" od is the ease of control. Just the exâ€" act amount of water is sprinkled and no more. Kostyakov says that from 12 to 20 per cent less water is requirâ€" ed than with ordinary irrigation. And the crops! In the VolgaGerman Reâ€" public, artificial "rain" increased the production of wheat by 238 per cent, On the Stalin collective farm in the Voronezh district sugar beet crops jumped 432 per cent. It is an old idea to apply the priae ciple of watering the lawn with % sprinkler to acres of farm land where there is a river, a lake or a well at hand and where it hasn‘t raincd for weeks, So the Allâ€"Union Hydrotechniâ€" cal rnd Melioration Bureau of Soviet Russia is experimenting with big portâ€" able sprinklers. Gigantic Sprinkler Scheme Envisaged Liners which will cross the Atlantie at 40 knotsâ€"almost 10 knots faster than the Queen Maryâ€"are foreshadâ€" owed by secret experiments now being conducted on Tyneside, England, Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richâ€" ardson, Ltd., builders of the Maurcâ€" tania, which held the Blue Biband for many years, are testing a model of a streamlined hull of revolutionary derign. It has proved too fast for the Todâ€" dington tank of the National Researen Laboratory, and to enable it to be tested at full speed, a special tauk bas had to be ordered. T. Morrison, a director of Swan Hunters, said: "A great deal of inâ€" vestigation remaings to be done before we can say with conviction that the new hull will give the rosults for which we hope." If the tests are successfcl, Swan, Hlunter and Wigham Richardson, 1A44¢., will place on the «tocks an oscan> going yacht embodying the mnew prinâ€" ciples. Engineers bolieve that the noxt step will be to build a 40â€"knot Atlantie liner and destroyers doing up to al» most 60 knots. Threeâ€"Day Crossing A liner with that speed would cross the Atlantic in approximately three days compared with the 3 days 23 hours 57 seconds with which the Queen Mary won the record in Augâ€" ust, 1936.
