While the processes em- ployed in printing and reproducing written lau^'i.ig'-b h;n o In-di continual- ly Improved, the reproduction of music, either y typography or by hand, has remained a it has been for years. Attempts to construct a machine to write music have met with Insur- mountable difficulties, especially in ef feeling the Q e 'iiry combination of the notes and musical signs, on the one hand, and tne lines of tbe staff on the other. It has been thought to solve the problem by using sheets ot "music- paper" or by writing the lines of tbe ttaff at the outset, by a special ma chine, but this process was difficult and necessitated too great watchful aess. Machines based on this prln flple were therefore quickly aban- doned. A music wilting machine invented by Gustave Hundhtatter, an engineer ( Krankfort-on the-Maln, works on an entirely different principle. Outwardly it exactly resembles an ordinary type writer, except that the common key board Is replaced by one of special de r-gn, and that the carriage, Instead of advancing every time a key Is touched tays quiet until the assemblage of otes and signs Is complete. The dif- ficulty of adjusting the signs with re- ference to the staff Is avoided by an organic connection of each note with tbe corresponding part of the staff, The latter I formed automatically by the junction of notes and signs on tbe blank paper, at such impression. The notes are written an easily, as quickly, and as exactly as one would play them on the keyboard of a piano.

The competitors are finding, how- ever, that the term, like cocktail" and "five o'clock tea," is borrowed from the Knellsh which h;ts become rather firm- ly embedded in the French language. Many seekers after an alternative de- clare there is no hope of banishing "week-end," so they propose phonetic substitutes. One of the most promis- ing is "auiquendo," which has the merit of being fairly accurate French representation of the normal pro- nunciation. More enterprising word-coiners seek a purely Kreucli equivalent and urge their fellow-countrymen to adopt "1'hfbda," or "trevelabeur," or "la re- larhe.'

Something fr-' houses are temporarily dark. 40th Anniversary of Salada Tea Company Forty years ago this month in au unpretentious little building on Front Street, in Toronto, the Salada Tea Company packed its first pound of tea. Founded in 1892 by tbe late Honourable Peter Larkln, the busi- ness progressed very rapidly and by 1895 a branch had been opened In Montreal. Two years latet the United States market was invaded and an office opened In Buffalo. To-day, three of the largest and finest ware- houses in the world, devoted exclu- sively to the packing of tea, stand as a memorial to the founder located In Toronto. Montreal, and IP Boston (tbe scene of the memorable tea party which precipitated the Revolutionary I terrible has happen id!" Without a backward look, Dirk came running atul took the steps to her side in a single bound. "What's wrong? You look scared to death, honey," he ask<*d worriedly. The terror in her eyes stabbed him with concern. His arm went about her pro- tectingly. They drew away, out sf Cornelia's hearing aid lowered their voices somewhat. Mary poured out her story in an excited jumble, almost crying with the joy of relief. "Do you think it's anything to Jo with Eddie?" she askel anxiously. "Listen," said Dirk, "who is this Eddie you're talking about? You don't mean the kid brother?" Mary said yes, of course. "But what has he to do with it?" "I don't know nothing, I suppose. But he may have been in the house he was in trouble Dirk laughed and patted her shoul- War). The Canadian market was then con- dr.

He pressed her hand comfortingly and they started for the house. Dirk called sharply, "Coming, Co'i forth, all detrimental to the quality of ten. In England, which was, and still is, the greatest tea-drinking country in the world, Ceylon and Indian teas of fiuo quality had practically dis- placed China teas, and it occurred to l.;u Km that Canadians also would pre- fer "hese finer teas.

And tlnent. He sought a name for his product and decided on "SALADA," which was the name of an old Indian tea garden. All that was left now was to tell the public about it. He wisely decided that the quickest and cheapest way ' do thla was by means of the news- paper. The result was BO gratifying that in- continued to use the news- papers as his chief advertising vehicle from that day. He trove always to give the public thn finest quality tea he could at the price and then advertise It for all he was worth. Ills achievement Is the largest selling i>ai-k-ee> tea In North America. On the Shelf It is still i iixintiiary in rural ilixiiirts in Scotland for the minister to preach a series of sermons around one Scrip- ture text. The parable of the Ten Vlr- Klns had been selected by u minister for a series of ten sermons, in which he look on Virglu at a time. Many of the church folks were tired of the subject at the end of a week or two, but It was left to the beadle to tell the )i,nii' ti j the I ruth. Asked by the pruacher an he was dis- robing him In Die vestry oue evening liow he was enjoying "my analysis of the characters ot the Virgins," the beadle replied, brusquely: "The halo congregation^ fair scunnert wi' them. sir.

' Cornelia, still -landing where he had left her, moved forward convul- sively at his command. They had reached the loggia when Teddy Doulton lumbered toward thtni out <rf the darkness:, cursing earnestly, and seized upon them as an audience for his griefs. "Damned idiot!" he exclaiir.ed fer- vently, rubbing his drooping shoulder. not n word to excuse it not a word!" They did not listen. "Have you seen Mr. Jupiter?" Mary paused to ask. "Have I seen him? N'o. Ask me if I've seen Jack IH'mpM-y. Vt's! Who was the fool, anyhow ? Whmldaya a.sk Mich people for?" "Who?" They could not wait for his answer.

"You know what "Keep still about Eddie," Dirk sain to Mary in . low voice as they entered the house, "till we see what's what. N< use mixing him up in it unless we have to. He might have a bad time." The ballroom was deserted now, ex- cept for the musicians, who were pack- ing up their instruments. The sub- dued babble from the dining room in- dicated that supper was-still going on. In other parts of the house, how- ever, activity was intense. Two men in uniform pounded up the staircase in the wake of the butler, creaking with leather and breathing as if they had run. Police, in the sacred pre- cincts of the Jupiter mansion! One or them turned and called to a third who remained behind, "Don't let any- body leave the house!" Dirk squeezed Mary's hand reassur- ingly- "They'll tlnd whoever did it. Those boys work fa.t. Dmi't worry. It will be all right." Mary had cause to be grateful for the steadiness that came to her magic- ally at Dirk's touch, for there were bad momenU ahead of her in which lie, needed, all the composure she could muster. It was all at once R topsy-turvy world. The Jupiter mansion no longer belonged to its owner, in effect, but to Inspector Kane, and the men who cam* with him from county police hcii'lijnai t-i j. The cjream of South- ampton s younger set found themselves herded into the ballroom for question- ing along with a frightened huddle of servants. It was houra before the j questioning, tht running op and down- stairs, the choking breath of flish powder, the hurrying to and ceased. The murderer, it seemed, liad Cicar away. Search of the grounds had failed to show any evidence i' his coming or going; both the manner of his entrance and of his exit were unaccounted for. This much they gleaned from what they could over- hear. Whoever the intruder was, he had done a clean-cut job of it. As the checking of evidence went on, it began to appear that no one except Mary had direct evidence of any sort. And that was pitiably little and of no practical use. "I can't," Mary was forced to a.l- mit, in reply to Inspector Kane's earnest urging to recall the man's voice she had heard '. \ the murdered woman's room. "It wasn't a voice ex- actly it was just a growl, a ah, I can't explain it. It wast just a ?ouno anyone might have made in his throat if he were angry. You'd say if you heard it that he was mad enough to kill." "It didn't remind you of any voioe you'd ever heard before?" "Why, no!" She was ob.iously startled. The inspector frowned thoughtfully. "What I am getting at," he was kind enough to explain to them both, ii. a lowered tone, "is the possibility of an inside job. Thi butler do you trust him?" "Absolutely!" It vas a relief to be on safe gr^ur.d. The inspector sighed. "Well, I do, too. I think he's on the level when he says he kept everybody out that hadn't been invited. He ha-1 ft real argument with one man, he says nearly threw him out. But Lord, there are a dozen loop-holes. Nobody checked on the cars that came and went, and there were plenty cf windows open. Those doors uver there," he indicated the rench doors opening onto the loggia, "were open when I came in. What do we know about those black horn-tooters? Not a thing." He shook his head. If he meant to throw Mary off guard by this confidential moment, ha succeeded, for she changed color when lie asked abruptly: "What were you doing upstairs, Miss Harkness? When you heard the sounds you speak of, and the shots?" "Why, I " Panic seized her. "You had been dancing a momen: before, hadn't you? Why did you leave the ballroom and go upstairs?' 1 "I went up to see how Mrs. Jupi- ter was," Mary faltered. "Someone told me she was tired and had gone to her room to rest." "You were alone, up there?" "Why. yes." What did he meat-, Mary wondered fearfully What did i he know? But his question had a different meaning, she soon saw from its effect on Dirk. He turned first red, th-?n white, and jumped to his feet. He j drew a deep breath. "She certainly was alone," he said ' angrily. "All right, all right," the officer re- [ turned pacifically. "We've got to' think of everything, you know.' 1 "I see no reason nor excuse," Dir'v said stiffly, "for your thinking of such thing. The detective was not riled. Mar.v i was hiding something, he thought. "Listen, buddy," he told the glower- ' ng Dirk firmly, "stranger things hap- pen everp day. I'm just trying to find ! out what's what.

"But it's going to take tinr\ waiting for them to turn up." He- looked like a man in the la,U hroes of depression, Detective Byrne came and rcporUxl hat every car had been .searched be- fore leaving the grounds. InspectoV Kane prepared to move ft*. "Well, no offence, young lady." i When the rush for wraps and home- vurd bound motors had cleared the i com, all that remained were thu [ jroup of officers, Ma:-y and Dirk, the wusekeeper, Mrs. Warren, and, busily peeding the parting guests, Spence. Once Inspector Kane asked in a ow voice, "Where's the old man? "Up here?" pointing to the ceiling. Byrne dded. "Let hinj stay." Tho servants, those who remaim"!, were released and Kent off to bed.

They realize from past experience that the consum- ing public seem to prefer fresh lamb rather than lamb from cold storage, and as an illustration we find that according to Government Statistics there was in storage c>n April 1st, 1932, some five million twenty two thousand pounds as against three million one hundred and fifty thousand pounds on April 1st, 1931, showing that conditions and requirements are changing. During the last few years the quality of himbs have shown a decided improvement, ami by doing so you huvt done much to stimulate greater consumption, hence demand for greater volume. This has been accomplished by better breeding, better feeding and castration of buck lambs. Light thin lambs do not produce good quality lamb meat. Heavy lambs are also undesirable for the market, but good fat lambs yielding a dressed carcass of thirty-five to forty-five pounds are desirable and will command top prices, or in other words well finished lambs weighing 70 to 90 pounds live weight at the market are desirable. Lambs weighing over 90 pounds at the market are likely to be discounted in price. With all these facts before us we feel disposed to recommend you to ship out your lambs as they get fat and hold unfinished lambs on the farm until fat, but the chief feature is to keep sending them out as they get ready, believing as we do that prices will be better during the early season of marketing rather than fall months when receipts are likely to be heavy. We are anxious that farmers may receive the best possible returns for their lambs, and are asking our ship- pers to co-operate with you by maintaining a regular ship- ping service and assure our readers that we have a full staff of experienced salesmen, and in a position to handle all classes of live stock whether by rail or by truck.
