Spectato What Science is x Doing x ECHOES TO BE CAPTURED It is possible to capture an echo. They are made and stored in an ingenious device -which has been developed in the laboratories of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem. The instrument is used to give a natural sound to voices or music transmitted from radio stu- dios where it is necessary to dead- en the walls so that they kill all reverberation. FUTURE THOUGHTS IN FRONT Two Washington, D.C., physi- cians describe experiments tend- ing to substantiate a theory that the front section of the human brain controls future thoughts while the rear portion governs those of the past.

LEWIS 521 Fifth Ave.,, New York Whiter White Paint A new white paint, formulated to shed dirt and grime and said to show a very marked improvement in retention of whiteness even un- der adverse exposure conditions, has just been introduced to the Canadian market. The secret of the new whiter paint is in the use of the most modern of paint pigments--tita- nium dioxide -- sometimes called the whitest known pigment. This pigment is known to have several times the hiding power of any of the older white pigments and in addition, when properly incorpor- ated in a linseed oil vehicle, it provides a much more durable and much better appearing paint. HaveYou Heard ¥ @ Druggist's House (2 a.m.). Ir- ate Druggist: "Great heavens, man! A penny worth of bicar- bonate of soda at this unearthly hour, when a glass of hoi water would have done as well." Customer: "Ah. weel, I think ye for the advice, an' I'll no be need'n' the soda noo. Good mornin'." : Fittings im the house of Hollywood film actress are made of gold. All the cur- tains are hung on her former wedding rings. Soldier (in hospital)--*"Doctor, are you sure this is pneumonia? Sometimes doctors prescribe for one thing and patients die of something else." Medical Officer (with dignity): "Look here, my man; when I pre- scribe for pneumonia, you die of pneumonia." "Come along, dear," said the hostess, "lI want you to feel at home," I don't want to feel at home." said little Reginald, "I want to feel at a party." "Pawson," said Aunt Caroline ferociously "I'd like to kill dat low-down husband o' mine." "Why, Caroline, what's he done 7". "Done? Why he's gone and left de chicken house door open, and all de chickens has escaped." "Oh, well, that's nothing. Chic- kens, you know, come home to roost." "Come home?" gro aned Aunt Caroline. "Come home? Paw- son, dem chickens'll go home." ~ How Can 1? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q.--How can I make a living room or a dining room rug wear more evenly, instead of having worn spots in certain places? A.--This can be avoided to & great extent if the position of the furniture is changed occasionally, and also if about twice a year, the rug is turned cater-cornered. Q.--How carn £ wash lettuce thoroughly? A.--All the sand and dirt will be washed off letuce if it is placed in a colander, the leaves separat- ed, and cold water run through them. Drain, then set the colander with the lettuce on ice antil ready to use. Q.--How can I clean gold or sil- ver lace? A.--Sew the lace to a strip of clean linen and boil in a solution of 1 cupful of salt to 1 gallon of water. Dry without removing from the linen, and then sponge with a piece of white velvet dipped in alcohol. Q.--How can I make use of old stain the fingers and hands. Canada's Racial Variety Praised Dominion Is No "Melting-Pot" -- Standardized Type Of Human Being Deplored. Standardized citizens are not de- sirable for Canada, according to John Murray Gibbon, general pub- licity agent of the C.P.R., speaking at Montreal last week on the con- tributions that Canada's varying immigrant strains have made to the Dominion's whole in culture. He pointed out that in the Unit- ed States it is the endeavor to blend all races into a single amal- gamation called "American." The Canadian ideal is to let immigrants retain much of their individual cul- ture and habits. "Some of us may hope to see the day when it would be hard to dis- tinguish. a French-Canadian of Trois Rivieres from an Anglo-Can- adian of Toronto," said Mr. Gib- bon. "We would then, so to speak, swap Mr. Hepburn with Mr, Du- plessis--but there are others of us who like to see the French-Cana- dians retain the best of their own traditions and culture. Mr. Gibbon described many of the handicraft-folk song festivals for European racial groups which have been organized in Western Canada by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Handi; crafts Guild.

Farm Forum | IMPROVED PASTURES HIGHER FOOD VALUE Climatic conditions in many parts of this country may not permit of pasture improvement in the same remarkable degree as on some Scottish farms, yet the work of Canadian research experts and the experience of hundreds of practical farmers prove that much of Canadian pasture land can be T made vastly more productive than it is, says G. N. Snyder, soils che- mist. Not only do improved pas- tures yield more grass per acre, but the herbage is notably richer in protein, minerals, vitamins and carotene, a fact definitely proven by the researches of Professor N. J. Thomas, Ontario Agricultural College, and other authorities. Build Up Soil Fertility The first requisite in pasture improvement is the building up of soil fertility. Liming may be ne- cessary for very acid soils, but in general the major mineral plant foods--phosphate and potash--are of first importance. If the pro- .cess is one of renovating an old pasture without breaking it up, the first application of fertilizer must be heavy enough--400 to 600 pounds of 0-16-6 or 2-16-6 per acre--to produce a vigorous growth of wild white clover and other pasture legumes. Wild white clover, a true perennial with creeping stems that root at the nodes, provides exceptionally nu- tritious and palatable herbage. It adds nitrogen to the soil and pro- duces a dense sward that is very effective in moisture control through preventing run-off from heavy summer rains and evapora- tion during periods of extreme heat. When establishing new pas- tures it is advisable to consult a forage crop expert regarding they most suitable pasture mixtures for the particular soil and regional egonditions. Pale blue light proves a fatal lure to the grape leaf hoppers, a gerious pest in vineyards, as re- ported by J. K. Ellsworth of the University of California. Females of the species responded most readily to the light. Counts of large sample catches showed 88 per cent. female insects. Manitoba hens lay more than 10 million dozens of eggs in a year. Beautify Your Farm Property SHRUBS FOR THE FARM HOME By John F. CLARK, Ont. Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. The foundation line of every home needs special treatment, as a softening of severe architectural lines must be secured, making the rigid and often unsightly founda- tion more attractive. No better medium is offered than a planting of flowering shrubs to frame the home, melting it into the site and tying the building to the ground. Always confine shrub masses to the * outer edges or boundaries, avoiding the spotting of single shrubs throughout the lawn. They should be so arranged that open vistas appear from windows and verandah, Varieties should be planted in groups, and" in small grounds nothing more elaborate than a planting of a few of each, which = will content themselves within the space, shade, moisture and soil conditions; one-has to of- fer, need be attempted. Specimens And Kinds For Various "Excellent specimens may be se- cured in the Magnolia, Weeping Mulberry, Flowering Almond, Rose of Sharron and Lilac. Varieties having a number of features may be chosen, the aim being color, foliage, berries and flowers at different seasons to pro- long the blooming period. This list would include Forsythia, Spiraea, Weigelia, Hydrangea and the Hib- iseus, Suitable shrubs for shady places, pot directly under trees, are Dog- wood, Coral Berry, Snowberry, El- der, Philadelphus, Hydrangea, Ar- borescens, -Lonicera and Spirea, providing the position is not in dense shade. The ornamental effect of good flowering shrubs will prove a valu- able addition to the grounds when used as a hedge. These may in- clude Chinese Elm, Lilac, Mock range, Bridal Wreath, Caragana and Honeysuckle. The Alpine Cur- rant makes a satisfactory hedge even in dense shade. The roots should never be per- mitted to dry out, either before or after planting. Damaged roots should be removed, and the bal- ance spread out naturally in the soil. Give firm planting. Where there are a number of shoots or branches they should be headed THAT REMINDS ME-- OGDEN'S IS COOL SMOKING You'll get a lot of extra pleasure in"rolling your own" with Ogden's because it is a really cooler, better cigarette tobacco. Of course you'll roll them with the best papers--"Chantecler" or SIRE back slightly, until the roots have an opportunity to take hold and provide the top with necessary moisture and nourishment. A top dressing of well-rotted cow manure, lightly cultivated into the soil, will prove beneficial. Avoid crowding and give space for development, Keep shrubs a short distance from walls to escape drip from the roof and the reflected heat from. the bricks. Spring planting is advised. #i\ SORE AN "oo = kid gloves? -- EE -- A.--Worn gloves will be very : ; ! useful if they are used when par- AGENTS WANTED ing vegetables, or working Jy BEST PROPOSITION ON MARKET s _-- es' an ents' Furnishings. . gny vegetables that are likely ~ Write for'full particulars.
