They Must Be Bachelors An American firm of doll manu- facturers HlHged a display in store windows showing one of their dolls immersed in water, perfectly firm and fresh looking, and another doll, made by another firm also immersed In water but soggy and misshapen and the eolor washed out. The firm was ordered by an ad- vertising board to stop these displays on the ground that doll.s were not subjected to immersion in water and tho advertising was, therefore, mis- leading. Surely the board consi.sls of bache- lors, else they might have known that one of the joys of having a doll is to bath her every day, no mere cat's wash or a wipe with a dtmp towel, but a real soaking ab- lution.â€" Stratford Beacon-Herald.

Macadam, George Brunton,i James Mill, author of "Analysis of; the Mind," and John Grieve, the 'â-  Dunfermline poet, are among those; whose achievements will be honored.! Of particular interest to all coun- tries where road-building has reach- 1 cd high development is the career of John Macadam, wh'jse early experi- 1 iiients led to modern sy.steni of ruaca- , damizing. While Macadam died a century ago, the methods he evolved ; are still considired sound. Watt was another Scot who built for posterity.' He not only developed the steam' engine hut his name is perpetuated in the word "watt"â€" the unit of electrical power.

OTTAWA. - I'arliamentary II. brarians are findinjj that the weight- iest tomes are now in demand, not I only by economists, (jovernment hureau.s, and learned members, but I al.so by women for use as reference , for club debates and speeches. j Recently an elderly woman asked to see a treatise on "Fconomic Rela- tions Within the British Kmpire." Another woman arsked for several lengthy volumes on Russ'an culture ] and conditions. The libr.'iry, recognized as contain- ' ing on(. of the most complete sections on the continent on economic and financial affairs, is restricted to use of Senators and members of the House of Commons, but is open as a reference library to those in search of information on abstruse problems. The librarians have commented tliey found women becoming more keen on matters of public import and said the number of reading clubs and study clubs has increased in such a way that women I'caders are re- questing <he most learned books. Thoug'i in(|uiries by mail are not alway.s welcomed, occasionally a de- bating society in another part of the country is hard-pressed for informa- tion and turns to his library. A letter was received from n wo- man in the United States who wished to know tl;e data relating the tran i- tion of t''e House of Guelpli into the House of Windsor. "They don't seem to have as much time for knitting jis they usen to," one librarian remarkeii .sadly, as he took leather-bound volumes down from a high .shelf.

It is remaikable how many people express surprise thai television is so ^ slow in maturing. This frame of i mind, whore scientific miracles are' concerned, is typical of the age. Peo- 1 pie are so used to everything hajipen- ing with a lUsh in lluse day â-  that I they have no patience In wait on painstaking pioneer research. j The television experts are fairly certain, however, that we shall see â-  a practical boom in television next! year, and I am told that manufac- ] turers are already making Iheii plans accordingly. Wu cannot have, private television .in operation, how-' ever until next summer nt earliest, by which time tho Sfnithern broad casts on [irivate set-- from the Alex- ; nndra Palace. j Before next Christmas, on the . other hand, we shall probably have television pictures br .adcast to West , Knd cinema screens.

('ortelyou, of Haworth, N.J., has driven automobiles of vari- ous forms and sizes I'or liS year.s, dur- ing which time ho ha; never been charged with cxcedii.g a speed limit, never bumped into anybody or any- thing; in short his driving record is perfect. On receiving his 10.'?'! license plates the motor vehicle commission- er of New Jersey sent him a letter of ciimnicnih tion. Mr. Cortclyou beg. ,i his motor'ng in it:il> with a three-wheeled affair in IROS. It had one cylinder of two horse-i ower, and was air-cooled. Und.>r good roj.d conditions i^ cou'd do 12 miles an hour and could run for l.T minutes before requiring re- pairs. When he began motoring in the States in 1001 he hai' a car which had two forward speeds, but if he wanted to reverse he put one foot on the ground and pressed backwards. There were then no garages and no service st.itions. It took him a week to put the car in shape for his Sunday drive of five miles. "I lonkoil at the car before starting." he said, "studied it, crawl- ed inder it, get in nnd trusted to God for the rest." This pionee'r admits Ih t he had his troubles with the police, but not exactly in connection with his driv- ing. He ma.le the startling innova- tion of equijiping his cars witTi doors, and so irritated the police fhat they forbade him to t.ake pass- engers with him. They explained that the doors prevented one from getting out f.isi enough in an emerg- ency, ie also had trouble when he instnllee electric lights, an' he had to lake a police captain for a trial spin to demonstrate just why he did not have to get out nt liusk and light the lamps. Th • only ear that really troubled him, however, was one built In a shipyan. It had a marine engine and Wi.» equipped with a rudder in- stead of a stee'ing wheel. Being a landlubber. Mr. Cnrtelyoi: will tell you that his chief dimcull. was that when he worked the rudder the car usually went the other way from what he intended. Mr. Cfirtelyou has only om sug- gestion to make and it seems a per- fectly sensible .me. That is that driver., with clean records should have a sticker or plniiiie afilxed to their cars and that holders of such awaids should get lo.ver insurance rates.

'â- ')nvicts fii'.d themselves in peniten- •aries due to a weakness of inhibition :. rising from inapnropriaete early â- raining, their greatest defect being â-  ick of self control," reports General Ormond. "The majority of these youths have been guilty of crimes of acquisitiveness, theft, burglary, housebreaking and embezzlement. "\ relatively large number have ecu implicated in imes in which 1 thai weapors played a part. .Ap- rroNimately 75 per cent, of these youths had convictions recordeil against them prior to being sentenc- ed to a penitentiary. Over 50 per cent, have served terms in industrial schools, reformatories or jails. Twenty-five per cent, have committed niTences of ?i heinous a character that the public sense of decency de- manded they be sentenced to a peni- tenliai-j- to ensure their control for a long period." The St. Vincent de Paul Peniten- tiary has 77 convicts under 21; Kingston, 37; Dorchester, o(i; Man- itoba, 20; B.C., 14; Saskatchewan. 21; Collin's Bay, 7. The east corriior of the south wing of Kingston Penitentiary is be- ing remo:b'licd for the accommod- ation of Class D convicts and the east cell block then made available for the young convicts. The building has 114 cells, the largest in any Ca- nadian penitentiary; the cells on three floors, with 19 cells to a range and a wide corridor in front of the cells. This enables classification of the young convicts into groups, each group having its own corridor for training purposes. The seven young convicts in Col- lin's Bay are near the expiration of their sentences so the new system is not being applied to them. Th,; youngsters confine<l under the. Borstal system in Kngland, General Ormond reports, are 00 per cent.' British stock, and foreign-born lads are not confined in Borst:ils. j "The consensus of Borstal ofikcrs who have a knowledge of the con- j dition in Canada was to the effect' that 'the Canadian youth is more! precocious and more sophisticated than the lad of the same years in I Kngl.-ind,'" sa\s the report. i The routine tinder the new system in Canada has been set as follows: !

SO, supper; (i, silence lieriod for study and meditation; 7,' issembly for solkvtivc study and rec- reation; 0, retire to cells, rooms or dormitories; 0.30, retiring bell. During the first six to nine months in the institution all young convicts will bo called upon to perform ardu- ous labor under skilled instructors. I From ti to months selected young] convicts will be placed in shops or | at skilled labor.

One of the most e-^citing of thes* bits of news is the fact hat Mrs, Frankli.T D. Hoc-evelt caa find her way around her own kitchen. Some of flie girls who attond Mri. Roosevelt's press conferences giv« their sworn word that she showed them through the new White Roust kitchen and demonstrated an aston- ishing familiarity with all gadgets, fixtures, and employees. There are no end of cupboards and closets in the new presidential kit- chens and the Fir.?t Lady of the United States could tell just what each was u-ed for, without peeking in to see. Xor did she mind showing whole shelves of canned vegetables to a group of young women who had automatically supposed all such stuff in tlie White Hou!=e would be bought fresh. Incidentally, Mrs. Roosevelt spoke to all the servants and all ttie ser- vants .sjioke to Mrs. Roosevelt in a way which showed very plainly that thoy had met one another before. .Another thing on which your cor- respoii'lent has certain information, was the Gridiron Widows party' at the White House, given for news- paperwomen. Tl-.ey all had a good time when Mrs. .lay Hayden impersonated Mrs. Roosevelt, voice and all. When a lady acting as stooge asked her, "What does Your JIajesty think of tho latest fashions for women'.'" Mrs. Hayden grabbed a microphone and said: "Wl.etlier the beret should be worn on formal occasions is a mat- ter of taste.
