It may do so, howâ€" ever, when moisturs on the glass tube is drie«w by the wind. First of all, Professor Kelly said, thera should be free circulation of alr on all sides. The instrument shculd not be placed against the wall or too close to the window pane. The best thermometers are the maximum and minimum thermomâ€" eterg similar to those used in the weather bureau stations. Prof. Alobert J. Kelly, of the Mc Gill University observatory, last week gave the Montreal Star a few hints as to how a thermometer should be properly placed for acâ€" curate readings. Outdoor therâ€" mometers are notoriously variable as is amply demonstrated on any particularly cold day in winter or hot day in summer. Proper Placing Of Thermometer In lighter vein: That same week the people of England were told by the Daily Express, London, to "think about Hitler at least once a day." "Refresh your memory," the editorial warned. ‘"You musta‘t forâ€" get what the nation is fighting for." the other neutral countries agree to let thomselves be used as a springboard, Elliston argued, the Allies would be able to tackle Gerâ€" mans and Russians both. CcoUuP IN CANADA While Europo last week appearâ€" ed to be deliberating on where to carry the war next, events of hisâ€" tory + shattering importance were taking place over bere, The dissolâ€" ution of the 18th Parliament of the Dominion 4&iter but four hours of session caused the people of Canâ€" ada to wonder what our parliamenâ€" tary democracy was coming to. Alâ€" though it was generally conceded that the Prime Minister had done a very clever thing in so frustrating his Opposition, many were the quesâ€" tions asked: Why an election at this time? . . . nobody needed one, except perhaps the MacKenzie King government, Did it no longer mean anything in the life of Canâ€" ada, what was said and done in the House of Commons? a An enlightening despatch by H. B. Elliston, Christian Science Monâ€" itor correspondent, carried this view a step further. Declaring that tho stalemate on tho Western Front was not likely to be broken for some time, it advanced the op inion that the whole Allied war plav was shifting north to Scandinâ€" avia, and south to the Near East. Intervention in Finland, Mr. Ellisâ€" ton said, would take away the inâ€" itiative from Hitlor who right now is thought to bo planning a bold ofâ€" fersivy in a region of his own chossing â€" the Balkans or the Low Countries. The correspondent quoted from the current number of the London Nows Letter; "The French have reasoned it out that the northern theatre is in reality ono of _ Germany‘s _ vuinerable flanks." Should Scandinavia and is thought to bo 1 fepsivqy in a re chossing â€" the Low Countries. 1 quoted from the of the Londou Ni As tho fifth month of the war came to a close, it was difficult to find one military expert on this continent who would venture to predict a "spring offensive" on the Western Front. An Associated Pross story reported that U.S. milâ€" itary tacticians, analyzing overy scrap of information from Europe, sald they "couldn‘t see" how efther the Allies or Germany could launch an offensive, regardless of weather conditions, with reasonable chances of breaking through the Maginot or Siectgried lines.

Size and appearance give the only clue. s age of .this animal can be told by the number of points on its antâ€" lers â€" one for each year of life, This is quite untrue because it is impossible to determine the age of an adult or subâ€"adult in this manâ€" ner, age and antler growth bear ing mo relation. For example, a fiveâ€"yearâ€"old moose may carry seâ€" ven or eight points on each blade of its antlers, or, on the other hand, it may carry only four. Further: more, the number of points on each antler are not always equal, which would confuse the computation if it had any value. And to add the total of a pair of antlers would ofâ€" ten suggest an age heyoud the perâ€" iod of normal existence, With reâ€" forence to young male moose, the case is more or less reversed, for a riging twoâ€"yearâ€"old usualiy car ries a pair of spikes, and a rising threeâ€"yearâ€"old, two crotches with some palmation. The rule, however, is not gemerally or strictly applic able as sometimes crotches appear as the first growth and a large area of palmation, with points, as the second growth. AN AGEâ€"OLD QUESTION Judging by the inquiries reaching thig corner from time to there there are many outdoorsmen who are anxious to learn how to tell the age of a moose â€"â€" that misâ€"shaâ€" pen reminder of prehistoric times which is fairly aburdant in Ont ario. A thermometer should face north and if it is in a sereen box, the door should be on the north sido so that the sun does not get at the instrument when the door is openâ€" Tho proper way to obviate this â€"â€" although most housebolders will not want to go to the trouble â€" is to use a thermometer screen. This is a box with downward vents at a 45 degreo angle on all four sides, both inside and out, which not only break the wind and keep out snow, slect or the direct rays of the sun, but at the same time allow free cirâ€" culation of the air.
