The boys, who belong to respectable families, were armed with revolvers, knives and knuckledusters, and used two underground "hideâ€"outs." They had been responsible for 26 robberâ€" ies. Gangsters start young in Paris and Moravia (province of Czechoslovaâ€" kia). In Paris a "desperado" who was arrested for stealing wine gave his age as nine, and confessed that he was No. 11 in a group of gangsters ranging from eight to 15 years of age. When caught he fought his captor with a piece of wood. "Few people know it," quoth the exâ€" pert, "but the Arctic tern is the unâ€" sung bird of spring. He goes from the Antarctic to the Arcticâ€"11,000 miles in two months." The robin, Davis added, doesn‘t range like that. He winters no farther south than Florida and comes north no faster than a tourist with a tailer. "The yellow palm warbler is the real first bird of spring in many parts of the country, He travels, tooâ€"from Central America. "The redâ€"breasted robin," he said, "has been travelling under false colâ€" ors. Slang is not exactly in my line, but as a figure of folkloreâ€"the robin deserves the bird.

Davis, secretary of the American Wildlife Institute took a verbal pot shot at the robin as the harbinger of spring. Claims Robin Sails Under False Colors Naturalist Says Yellow Palm Warbler Deserves Title of Spring‘s Harbinger According to the probable procedure the submission of the commission‘s findings would be followed by a Doâ€" minionâ€"Provincial conferernce to deâ€" tirmine the effect to be given the recommendations. That, in turn, would depend upon the measure of agreeâ€" ment. Hearings to come will be in New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec, and, finally, in June, at Ottawa. By that time it will be July and midâ€"summer, as a rule, involves some respite for such bodies. The inquiry‘s experts, however, will go ahead and, some time in the fall, the report should be ready. OTTAWA.â€"A report 1y the Rowell Commission on Federal and Provincial relations is not expected before next fall. The record will be monumental, the largest of any commission, not excluding the Duff inquiry into the railway proble=. In addition to the formal submissions, and what arises out of them, a corps of experts is anâ€" alyzing all these statements and makâ€" ing reports of a financial or constituâ€" tional nature. Real "T ough Babies" Findings Likely To Be Most Volâ€" uminous On Record Rowell Inquiry Will Report In Autumn The speaker told of the successful results of many promotion schemes. He related how one company offered valuable prizes to their salesman for every order of $10 or more, and 2i« though it lost money when the salesâ€" man earned a prize, it more than made up for it in the increase of sales of $6 and so forth made by the clerks in their efforts to attain the $10 ones. TAILORED SUITS FOR SALE Mr. Kumler explained in detail the various sales promotion schemes that have been used by some of the larger companies in the U.S. for the disposal of their commodities. He strongly adâ€" vocated the uses of sales contests and premium saving plans as business boosters. _A recent survey revealed that a large percentage of the industrial leaders started out with only those three assets," said Mr. Kumler. *The chief difference among men is what they do with an idea once they get it," he added. Imagination. ‘tact and nerve were advocated by John M. Kumler, of Chiâ€" cago, as the main requisites for a successful business as well as a sales career. He spoke last week to the Windsor Ad. and Sales Club. Chicazo act And Nerve â€"â€" Aid In Business azo Expert Declares Imaginâ€" ion Is Al:o Needed For Promotion Schemes Tender vegetables are those which have been grown quickly. Especially with such things as radish, carrots and beets, is slow growth disastrous~ as the roots become woody and filled with objectionable fibres. But this rule also applies to those things used for salads. On this account experts adâ€" vise pushing growth with frequent Ccultivation, which in © addition to checking weeds also conserves molstâ€" ure.

The same treatment and plantâ€" ing materials will be used with hangâ€" ing pots. There must be holes in the bottom of the box to provide drainage, and also a layer of gravel, cinders, broken crockery or similar material for the same purpose. Along the front, trail ing Nasturtiums, German Ivy, Lobelâ€" ia, Alyssum and similar plants are put in, with Petuanias, Ageratums, Begonâ€" las, Ferns, Geraniums and any other plants Nespecially recommended for this purpose farther back. Shelter A brown or greenâ€"stained window box overflowing with gaily blooming flowers is easily produced. This sort of gardening is highly intensive and so a very rich soil should be used, and in addition a fairly frequent applicaâ€" tion of chemical fertilizer during the season. The box must be of fair depth, at least seven inches of soil being avâ€" ailable. Beifig exposed on all sides to drying winds, a thorough soaking once a day is advised.

The amount of electricity is very small but can be measured without difficulty by a very sensitive galvanometer. The thermocouple is mounted in the telescope where the eyeâ€"piece is ordinarily located, where the light and heat gathered by the larg object glass of the telescope is concentrated. The heat collected is transformed into electricity by a thermocouple which consists of two wires, one of antimony and the other of bismuth. They are .0004 of an inch in diameter and .15 of an inch long. The wires are in contact with each other and A thermometer so sensitive that it will measure the heat of a candle sixty miles away has been used in testing the motion of a double star at the Harvard Observatory at Oak Ridge, Mass. The thermometer conâ€" sists of a blackened disk of copper, 1â€"2000 of an inch in diameter, which acts as the heat collector. So Sensitive It Can Measure the Heat of a Candle Sixty Tiny Thermometer Tests Star Motion The attractive action of plasmosin is reversible, however, and when it lets go the cells affected degenerate like a toy balloon bursting. Further studies on it will aid in understanding the breakdown of parts of the body in various diseases and may also help in prolonging life if methods can be found in maintaining the bindiag enâ€" ergy of the substance, members of the association said. When studied under the microâ€" scope, he said, the new material looks like a mass of fibres somewhat similar to the connective tissues which tie the various organs of the body togethâ€" er. It is apparently one of the fundaâ€" mental substances: of living (things, I‘v,. Bensley said, since it organizes the. protoplasm . of living cells.. They are composed of the protoplasm, a nuclets, and a covering, or cell wall. Dr. R. R. Bensley of the University of Chicago, former president of the association, opened its 50th annual meeting with the announcement that he had identified this new binding maâ€" terial, which he called "plasmosin," within the cells. It is the stuff which makes each cell an individual unit. Fundamental Substance This substance, he added, is not like the mortar which holds bricks together in building a house, but is more like the attraction which holds the particles of each individual brick together. Discovery of the "glue of life" which keeps the human body working by holding each one of its billions of cells together was reported last week at Pittsburgh before the opening £>sâ€" sion of the meeting of the American Association of Anatomists.

And where the supply of water is not as convenient as it might be, it is a good plan, in laying out the garden, to also plant those things most in need of exâ€" tra moisture, such as radish, lettuce and celery, closest to the pump. Ferâ€" tilizer is another way of hurrying the growth and therefore assuring vegeâ€" tables of the highest quality. CUTTING GARDENS When an abundance of flowers for bouquets is wanted, experienced garâ€" deners often grow these in a special place. Usually a portion of the vegeâ€" table patch or a row at the back may be reserved for this purpose. Some well designed beds of mixed annuals are spoiled if too many flowers are picked and then again there are cerâ€" tain things like sweet peas, for inâ€" stance, that have little attractive folâ€" lage but beautiful blooms. Roadway and structures maintenâ€" ance costs of American Class 1 railâ€" ways in 1935 amounted to $39%,â€" 967,260. The magnitude of the task is demâ€" onstrated by the fact that the London county council‘s plan to form an emerâ€" gency fire brigade organization alone will require about 30,000 men and women volunteers. The booklet points out that the head of the house should consider himself "the captain of the ship," and should prepare to protect his family in an emergency just like a seaâ€"going captain instructs both crew and passâ€" engers where to go and what to do, not when danger threatens, but beâ€" forehand. The seagoing captain, it points out, considers it a matter of ©rdinary routine and everyday preâ€" caution that everything is in readiness for a shipwreck which he hopes will never happen, and the householder should adopt the same attitude. Million. Volunteers Meanwhile, the home office is proâ€" ceeding as rapidly as possible with its vast airâ€"raid precautions scheme and with the gigantic task of recruitâ€" ing 1,000,000 men and women vyolunâ€" teers required to carry it out. Choose a Refuge Room The booklet explains in detail to citizens how to darken the house at night, choose a refugeâ€"room, what to keep in it, how to keep out gas and prevent fire, what to do when airâ€"raid warning is given, how to protect their bodies from mustard gas, what to do if they are out of doors during warâ€" time, and how to treat victims of air raids. "If the emergency comes," Sir Samâ€" vel Hoare, the home secretary, deâ€" clares in a personal foreward, "the country will look for her safety not only in her sailors and soldiers and airmen, but also to the organized courage and foresight of every houseâ€" hold." The home oflice has sent out 500,â€" 000 booklets advising them to "be prepared for war" and what to do if enemy air raiders should suddenly appear over the country.

FIRTH C 200 BAY ST., TORONTO Dr. Riddell said that the credit for the reduction in the number of siliâ€" cotics was due largely to industrial engineers, not to the medical profesâ€" sion. He ventured the opinion that there would be virtually no silicosis within 10 years among miners and very little among granite cutters. Dr, A. R. Riddell, of Toronto, cliniâ€" cian of the division of industrial hyâ€" giene of the Ontario Department of Health, told members of the Wayne County Medical Society last week at Detroit. Silicosis in most O6eupations probâ€" ably will be climinated as a meance to health within the next few years, Silicosts Can take 3,000 people and make a crowd of 75,000, Mother â€" "Sue, do you want to be an old maid?"

Then, too, I knew a man who raised Shorthorn cattle, but never seemed to get anyâ€" where. Finally he sold the herd and switched to Guernseys and made a real sutcess. A farmer must get the type of cattle that fits into the soil program," On one‘klnd of soil a certain breed of cattle may flourish, while another breed will not bring profits to the farmer, Superintendent Steckley told the club in giving actual experiences, Must Fit Program "‘Agriculture, as we have it, has three main structures as the basis: Soil, crop and livestock, and if we are going to have successful agriculture we must pay attention to these three important aspects, The further we go into the development of livestock, the more we have to come down to the relationship between type of soil and kind of livesteck kept on the farm. That there is a definite relation beâ€" tween soil and the success of raising livestock was the contention of J. C. Steckley, superintendent of the Westâ€" ern Ontario Experimental Station at Ridgetown, in speaking before the Blenheim (Ont.) Rotary Club. Soil Type Linked To Stock Success Modern armies devote considerable attention to the training of dogs and carrier pigeons for messenger service, and in laboratories monkeys have been conscripted for testing out the effects of poison gases. Wasps Capture a Trench And strangest of all, wasps once captured a German trench for tke British forces. A soldier dug out the wasps‘ nest one night and the followâ€" ing day heaved it across No Man‘s Land into We enemy‘s lines. The Gerâ€" mans beat a hasty retreat and the trench was taken. Stranger still, experiments were made in training seals to give warning of the approach of submarines by their demeanour, their hearing being much more acute than that of manâ€" kind. Lesserâ€"known animal "combatants" included camels and, in India, trained elephantsâ€"while even mice were not exempt. They were kept in submarâ€" ines, where their restlessness gave the first warning of the scarcity or pollution of the air. Animals, as well as men, have to "do their bit" in modern warfare. Millions of horses and mules and scores of thousands of asses were killed in the Great War. Mice and Seals, Dogs and Pigeons Are All Called Into Miliâ€" Trained Animals War Combatants No matter how well you prime a pump, they say, the next time you want water you‘ve got to prime it all over again, Some experts argue that the pumpâ€"priming motaphor has got mixed up during the discussion on how to end the recession. Lots of people think water primes a pump simply because it gets the pump wet. There‘s more to it than that. The pourt¢dâ€"in watep displaces the air and lets the \'ll\'e‘i to work. tian Science Monitor. To prime a pumpâ€"assuming you have a pumpâ€"you have to have: 1.â€"A strong arm. 2.â€"Some water. 8.â€"A little patience. Pumpâ€"priming experts say priming is not an art. You just pour in water and frantically work the handle up and down to accompaniment of loud sloshing. Pumpâ€"priming, you learn at the agâ€" ricultural engineering division, is as old a practice as pumps, but officials admit the average cityâ€"born Ameriâ€" can never heard of it, soâ€"â€" *"*Many farms," said John W. Rockey, U, 8. Agriculture Departâ€" ment engineer, "have automatic pumps and highly modernized equipâ€" ment. Selfâ€"primers are even appearâ€" ing for the oldâ€"fashioned pumps."
