Birds branched off from reptiles omewhere about a hundred million years ago, and were remodelled for flight, so that their forelimb was irre- vocably converted Into a wing. They clung obstinately to one important character of their reptilian ancestry the shelled egg, and thus debarred themselves from ever being born Into [SAVED IMPORTED DRESS ; ''After a little wearing, a lovely green Toile an imported dress lost color o completely that It was not wear- able.

Finder of Missing Men Mr. and Mrs. Harry Woodruff had been two days away from home on their automobile tour when Mr. Woodruff's mother passed away very suddenly. The road from Sarnia to Quebec has many turnings and where and how Mr. Wood- ruff's younger brother was to locate the tourists quickly was the question. Twenty-one long distance telephone calls to fourteen points on their supposed route were necessary before Mr. and Mrs. Woodruff were found. The time lost and the distance away meant that they arrived home in barely time for the funeral. Had they thought to inform the home folks each day by long distance of their itinerary, much of the time and worry of locating them would have been saved. Nowadays there is no point so remote that telephone service will not reach the missing party. All that is needed, and that at little expense, is to regularly keep in touch"by long distance telephone. Plant Life is Forever Thirsty By Dr. D. T. MacDougal, In the Scientific Monthly (August, 1931). The fundamental thirst of living j matter has laid the foundation of wars between peoples, and has been the cause of racial migrations affecting civilization in the profoundest manner. The water problems of a city of over a million people in one American state have recently led to the expropriation and assignment of the water on one of the largest rivers, and a controversial discussion by the people of seven states occupying an area of half a mil- lion square miles. It is highly prob- able that among the earliest agree- ments between family or tribal groups were those as to the shared use of limited supplies of water. Plant life, especially, is forever thirsty, and when active, continually takes in and loses water. The growing substance in MACDONALDS Firte CUL* Qanadcti tyvne&t Qupatietbe.
