CROWS HATCH CHICKS We have heard of hens halchmg ducklings and wondering what it is •bout, and of cats mothering ^ fox- es and young coojw but J. F. Gocrt- zen, a visitor In the city from Stet- tler, Alta., rather startled us the o- ther day when he said he had had better luck in getting crows to do the hatching of his chickens than he got from the old Biddies themselves. He and some of his neighbors con- ceived the idea of making the much despised crow do something useful for a living. So they found some crows' nests put three or four hens eggs in each and in due course ap- peared the baby chicks. It was necessary to remove the chicks from the nests early, how- ever as their instinct did not teach them to take food the way tin- moth- er crows brought it to the nests. However, Mr. Goertzen said this presented no difficulty, and he says he is quite satisfied with his crow incubators. â€" Lethbridge Herald. ENGLAND'S "SAMSON" Johnny Mann is the boy "Sam.^on" Wokingham. Ho is aged fourteen years, and can lift 130 pounds with his teeth, hold two ponies pulling in opposite directions or lift a pony from the ground. Johnny, a tall and bright-faced lad is anxious to become a professional strong man. He has al- ready received an offer of L20 per week to perform in a circus," his fa- father, Mr. Ernest Mann, said, "but the education authorities require him to stay in school until the end of the term at Easter, and he has not been able to accept the offer." Johnny Mann has been lifting weights since h© was five years old. He and his four younger brothers have been trained since early child- hood by their father who won the Yoikshire wrestling championship in 1918. All the children have won prizes in baby competitions. Their mother, a tall, strongly-built woman has al.so achieved some reputation as a weight lifter. â€" Border Cities Star.

TO HAVE WE LEARNED HOW PLAY? John Bull certainly knows how to revel in Ijis playtime. When the great and historic der- by was run, the English press devot- ed pages to all angles of the race. Ucrbys long past were re-examin- ed. The scene at Epsom on the Sun- day before the race was described by special writers. The horses were writ- ten up" as though they possessed personality. Jockeys were described. This was not because the people of Great Britain are so deeply con- cerned with horse-racing or with the result of the Derby. It was because the Derby was a national play festival, a symbol of the Englishman's appreciation of the value of playtime he takes off from business with an uir of almost indifference. That is what makes him sanely balanced and his country an abode of lovel-headedness. â€" Vancouver Hun SHE'LL BE ALL SCOTTISH The new (Junarder now buihling on the Clyde; will not have a mere bathing pool like other big liners, but a real bathing beach.

She will also compete in the British Empire and World games. Between times she will probably knit a few sweaters. ROCKING THE BOAT Once more when one roads of drownings by capsizing of canoes, by the going to pieces of rotten boats, by the "rocking the boat" idiocy or getting caught in a squall with his s-heet made fast and all that sort of thing, one is reminded of the remark of an old sea captain who, when ask- ed if a boat was safe, replied : "No boat is safe, madam, unless it is in charge of a safe man." â€" North Has- tings Ueview. SCOTS BUY OUR BACON In spite of a .striking dec! case in the total imports of bacon into Scotland in the first quarter of the year, shipments from Canada reveal a large increase over the corres- ponding period of 1933.

BRITAIN AND THE JEWS Foreign visitors to this country are often surprised by the high place taken in national life by the Jews, and by the respect universally accor- ded to the Jewish race. For cent- uries this has been typical of the English. The age-old European prac- tice of the "pogrom" has never been a national pastime, nor a relief for over straine<l nerves. In time? of crisis Englishmen have never sought for an easy scapegoat and turned to Jew-baiting. The result has hi.en that the Jews in England are loyal, wor- thy, and Uappy citizen.^...

BRITISH SHIPPING Before the War most foreign countries were content to allow their trade to travel in British ships. Dur- ing and since the War almost every nation ha.s aspired to build a mer- cantile marine of its own, and in that proces.s used methods which amount to unfair com|)etition. It would take a volume to contain the different means by which various countries encourage their shipping and dis- courage ours â€" a.s for example, dir- ect assistance in shipbuilding, indir- ect a.ssistance by abatement of cus- toms, special railway rates, and so forth; restrictions on the coasting trade, especially severe round the United State.s; vexatious consular and other dues; all manner of pref- erences and penalties on passengers, and Ciovernmont contracts. Those things amount to a sort of univcr.sal war ngain.st British shipping. â€" Lon- don Morning Post.

London â€" Great Britain's new bat- tle ships to be laid down in 1937 will be radically different from all fight- ing ships now afloat, according to Hector C. Bywater, writing in The Daily Telegraph. They will have guns of a new type, firing nearly twice as fast as the 15- inch guns now in service, and they will be armored and otherwise pro- tected on an entirely novel plan. It is said they will be capable of defy- ing any form of air attack. Except for unimportant areas, the upper and shelter deck? of the whole structure will be virtually bomb- proof, it is asserted . The positive anti-aircraft defense is to include at least eight, and probably twelve, quick-firing guns, besides numerous multiple machine guns of heavy cali- bre. More than a dozen tentative de- signs have been drawn up embody- ing new features. The ships are to range from 22,000 to 35,000 tons, the size to be determined by the naval treaty of 1935. While the Ad- miralty desires to standardize the future battleship at 22,000 tons, Brit- ain is prepared to follow if the other |)owers want 35,000-ton ships. As Italy is about to lay down two 35,- OOO-tonners and France has two 26,- .'iOO-ton ves.sels already in hand, it is likely that the new British battle- ships will be about the size of the Uodney, 33,900 tons. BLEEDING SAINT JOHN, N.B.â€" The Daily Telegraph of June 21, 1877, was confined to a single sheet and con- tained only one story â€" a story, how- ever, that made every front page on the continent Reproduced here on the 57th anniversary of St. John's great fire, the four-column issue gives details of the conflagration that wiped out most of the city. Damage of $27,000,000 and the loss of a dozen lives occurr?d when 1,612 dwellings and 615 business es- tablishments were burned to the ground. Five newspaper buildings, including the Telegraph were des- troyed, and the special single sheet edition issued the following day was made up in one of the few printing shops untouched by flames. "The personal losses of some of our compo.^itors have been so great, and the claims of their families so pressing, that they were not able to give us the benefit of their services for this issue, and hence we are un- able to describe to our readers, in any proper manner, the disasters of yesterday or to address our readers in fitting words in jcgard to them," said the Telegraph. "It was heart-rending to witness sick, infirm and aged persons being dragged through the streets in search of a place of safety, which it was very difficult to find," said the pa- per at one point. "Women and child- ren wept freely, and even full grown men could not restrain their emo- tions. Streams of blood, the results of injuries, marked the face.^ of several men, and others had receiv- ed bruises and wore maimed in vari- ous ways. Many men and women might be utterly exhausted with fat- igue and the heat which became in- sufferable, dragging bedding and pieces of furniture and other articles through the streets a vain task in many ca.^-s, a^ the new places of refuge sought out often proved as unsafe as those that were deserted Ihe paper described a rush to the Hank of New Brunswick, where the valuables had been taken.

Here ore the rules Dr. Pabst lays down for vacationists. 'Don't go out in the sun after eat- ing a generous breakfast of buck- wheat cakes or drinking highballs. Science has proved that such sub- stances as quinine, alcohol, buckwheat iron and iodine, when taken inter- nally, render an individual extreme- ly sensitive to the rays of the sun. "Beware of scanty attire. Jf one- half or more of the body surface is sunburned with the formation of blis- ters, serious illness and even death may result. Even a mild sunburn that causes only redness is extreme- ly dangerous if it aflfects the entire skin surface. "Don't sprinkle perfume or toilet water on the skin before exposure to sunlight This may produce a severe inflammation of the skin called der- matitis." Dr. Pabst added that going bare- headed in the sun did not increase the growth of hair but usually caused the hair to become brittle and break off. PLEASANT PEOPLE. Pleasant people make a full day cheerful; they have somewhat of the same effect in a room as an open tire or a bouquet of bowers; they make us feel for the time as if everybody was pleasant because they are. We cannot always explain why thev are so pleasant. They may not be "beau- tifulâ€" t-hey are often plain; they are not always robust peopleâ€" they are sometimes invalids; they are uot al- wa.vs the wittiest; but they possess a magic superior to all these which dwarfs the wit and cleverness of oth- ers, and makes these of small value beside their own attractiveness. FOR TIRED FEET The following is used by nurses In some hospitals. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to a pint of common bran and put in a basin wet with suf- ficient warm water to form a t*in paste. Immerse the feet in this for 10 min- utes and a great relief will be felt. REMOVING BOILER RUST To remove rust from a boiler, heat the water to boiling, put out the fire and drain while the water is still dis- turbed by the heating and before the rust particles have had a chance to settle. The ordinary drain valve is too small to be effective: the return pipe s.hould be uncapped or discon nected. The rush of water which re suits should clean the boiler thor. oughly.
