Passing Marks in School Depends On Pleasing Teacher So a Research Director Ex- plains Why More Boys Than Girls Fail in Ejcaminations Cleveland. â€" More boys than girls, report the statisticians of the Cleve- land Board of Education, invariably "flunk" school courses, but not be- cause boys aren't as bright. Here's the reason William L. Con- nor, research director, grivee: "Boys pester the teacher more, and she consciously or unconsciously takes it out on them in marking." The latest survey of the board of education's bureau of child account- ing bears out similar results obtained three years ago in showing that boys do not excel girls in a single subject, so far as the percentage who keep from "flunking" is concerned. "Boys are as bright as girls," Con- nor maintains. "In fact, boys gener- ally rate higher on tests than do girls. It just goes to show that pass- ing marks in school depend upon pleasing teacher. "The schools are set up in such a way that a premium is placed on con- formity, and girls conform better than boys."

The occasion was the lunch at the opening of the new hostel at Por- tree, presented by the Earl of Elgin. Every item on the menu, except cof- fee, came from the island of Skye. Snipe cream and a special seaweed mould were the two delicacies Skye lived up to its title of the Misty Isle. But the mist that gath- ered on the mountains did not damp the enthusiasm of the large crowds that awaited the arrival of the royal pair at the hostel. The Duke of York, declaring the hostel open, said: "I have heard that its romance and beauty have earned for this island such titles as the Isle of Mist and Shadows, and the Isle of Glowing Morn. "And now I should like to add an- other â€" the Isle of Kind and Loyal Hearts."

Asked to serve as a judge in a tr.by contest, the magistrate replied as follows: * f.very baby is the pret- tiest baby in the world to it> mother, and it would require more than the ^ wisdom of a Solomon to select the prettiest child and at the same time please the mothers of the other ba- bies.

Here is something all wives of fat men will be glad to know. It is the experience of a woman whose husband recently weighed 230 lbs. She writes: "I really feel I must write and tell you that, after taking Kruschen Salts for nearly 3 months, my husband has got his weight down from 230 lbs. to 200 lbs. This has been achieved by nothing else but Kruschen. I am too heavy also, and 1 started taking Kruschen only three weeks ago. Al- ready I have got down from 153 lbs. to 144 lbs. We are delighted." â€" (Mrs.) C. Kruschen combats the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to perform their functions properly â€" to throw off each day those waste pro- ducts and poisons which, it allowed to accumulate, will be converted by the body's chemistry into fatty tissue.

Under the new law the family head will be compelled to inscribe his home at the national property office. listing his family and home effects. His misbehaviour or ivresponsibilitv, even if it leads to conviction before the law, will not permit any family property to be embargoed nor the home to be broken up to satisfy an award for damages.

A CAiVADIAN IN OPORTO, FOR TUGAL. Portugal. â€" "Europe's Garden by the Sea laid out," to quote a quaint translation from the works of one of Portugal's best romantic poets â€" is a country that is too little known in C.°.nada. Since the days of the Penin- sular War, it has had a treaty with Great Britain and, under the terms of this treaty, Portugal sent 10,000 troops to the Great War. A country â- >' ith a most interesting and- impor- tant history; beautiful in its unique landscapes and in the varied hues of the sea that borders its coasts, it is unspoiled by tourist traffic. In the summer of 1931, I directed the first party that ever left Canada or the United States, to visit Portu- gal. We enteret! the country at the frontier over the Minho River, sep- arating Tuy on the Spanish side from the fortified town of Valenca on the Portuguese side. From here we mo- tored through a primitive country where long homed, cream colored oxen were used to haul all kinds of com- modities â€" stone, wine, cork, produce, etc. Frequently the wheels of the cars were solid sections of trees and the patience of the animals â€" to say I nothing of the bare-footed driver â€" and the cumbersome pace, at which the vehicle moved, was in direct contract to the speed with which we, in Can- ada, are accustomed. We spent the night at Santa Luzia, a promontory above the town of Vian- na do Castello, overlooking the Atlan- tic and a considerable i>ortion of Spain and Portugal â€" a view that many prominent artists have hailed as one of the finest in the world. In the 1/ oming we returned to a lower level by a tortuous, corkscrew-like road and boarded a very comfortable train to Oporto. Oporto, the centre of the port-wine industry and the second city in Por- tugal, is situated ne.ar the mouth of the Douro River, The country here is hilly and Oporto is built on sloping ground, having two headlands, on one of which is located some of the prin- cipal buildings â€" the Bishop's Palace, Cathetlral, etc.â€" while the other head- land is clothed with vineyards. In this latter connection it would be in- teresting to know that Portugal pro- MADK IH CANAO* PKillips' Milk of Magnesia Coins made of an alloy of chromium and nickel, which is non-corrosive, may be tried by at least two foreign Powers.

The wine is brought to Oporto â€" the name means "the Port" â€" from the many vdneyards that line the river and it is either conveyed by ox carts or by the equally picturesque littb wine boats â€" each having a single mast and a multicolored square sail â€" the wine being contained in three or four casks amidships. Oporto has c.lso a big trade in fish and is the distributing centre for that commodity to many parts of Europe. On the day. I am about to mention, I was strolling down the river, wendine my way through a market where fis'n women, ox carts, poultry sellers and their customers â€" all of whom were viewing my progress with much g^ood natured curiosity. The harbour, at this point, was full of shipping and I was busy taking pictures of all the different activities. I had just snap- ped one picture, showing the boats, with the huge, steel-arched bridge in the background and some women washing clothes, at the river-bank, in the foreground, when I glanced at a three-masted schooner and was sur- prised and thrilled to read the words "LUNENBURG, NOVA SCOTIA." painted on her stern. I can assure my readers that it didn't take rae long to accertain the ways and means to board that ship and, when I had ac- complished my desire, I found that the crew were do less surprised and pleased to see me than I had been to see their vessel. All were Newfound- landers â€" young husky fellows; the skipper being under 30 years old â€" and they had been in the port for nine- teen days, with a cargo of winter fish, under the hatches. They had crossed the Atlantic, under their own sail, and were a bunch of homesick 'tx)ys. an.\ious to dispose of their cargo and return to their homes. Portuguese sailors, in turn, are often to be seen on the Grand Banks, off Newfound- land â€" it is an international exchange of maritime activities that is not realized by many in this country. I had meant to mention other inci- dent.s, occurring during our visit to Oporto, but these must wait for an- other time. Next week, in view of the tremendous interest in every- thing pertaining to Germany, I shall relate something of my impressiotvs of "Hitlerism," as gathered from visits to Germany in July and .\ugust of this year.

Wife Has Right To Keep a Diary Hungarian Court Denies Plea of Husband Who Broke Pledge Not to Read it Hungary's highest court has luieu that a wife has the right to keep a diary and that her thoughts and feelings as e.xpressed in it do not con- stitute grounds for divorce. Two years ago a man of wealth married a I'J-year-old girl of a fam- ily which was ihen prosperous. A iter the couple returned from a honey- moon trip of three months abroad th<.' wife announced that she had kept u diary since meeting her husband. "These are my most secret thoughts," she said. "I have no gir; friend in whom to confide, and be- sides I w ish to keep the diary becausv.- I have literary ambitions. But you must give me your word or honor never to read it." The husband complied. Some time later, leafing through a notebook left on a table, he saw an entry which ar-.^used his suspicion. His wife com- ing home at that moment, he could not read further. Haunted by jeal- ousy, he sent the wife to a watering- place and read the diary. The day before the wedding the girl had -set down her belief that for most women marriage is a renuncia- tion. She wrote that her husband was wealthy and held a good position in society, but that she knew he was not the man for her. Later entries reveaieii that she came to hate him. "We have not one thought or feeling in common,'' she wrote. One notation said that the arrival of children would be "fright- ful,"' as she was sure she would hate the child as she did her husband. Upon her return the husband re- vcjiletl that he had seen the diary an<i said he would insist upon a divorce. The wife refused, saying she had always fulfilled her duties as a wife, that he had given his word of honor not to read the diary and that it did not constitute grounds for a divorce. In the first court the wife's view prevailed. An appeal by the husband resulted in a reversal of the verdict and he was granted a divorce, based on the wife's objection to bearing children. The wife then appealed to the highe.st court and the divorce plea was withdrawn. SINGERS, S16.00, J19.0O, ELECTKIG Singer, $20.00. Fine condition.
