Green tea with a flavour and a delicacy beyond compare "SALADA GREEK TEA Milwaukee in the Old Days Make Linens Fetching With Dainty Edgings, Says Laura Wheeler Old Resident of Milwaukee, in Milwaukee Journal. â€" Our Milwaukee home in the sixties was in the old First ward near the city limits (then Brady street) and our neighbors were English, Irish and German working people. Our house was the oldest and largest in that section, for father, when he selected that site be- fore the Civil War, figured the town must grow toward the north. He was right, but the moneyed class re- .mainsd south of Juneau avenue. The glories of Prospect avenue were to come later. Partly on account of the aze of our abode and partly because mother kept help we found ourselves big frogs in a very humble puddle. Housework in those days was sheer drudgery. The only labor saver I can recall was the kitchen pump which often sent us children cower- ing deeper into our feather beds on winter mornings as it shrieked and groaned while being thawed out with boiling water. I The entire house was heated by wood-burning stoves e.xcept the par- lor which boasted a fireplace. This I room, used only on state occasions, 'had brussels carpets, rosewood furni- ture upholstered in black horsehair. Mather's hired girls were culled from among the daughters of the Yoreign farmers near town. They were untrained but good natured and strong. Strength was a major con- â- ideration, for much of the work con- sisted of dragging wood, water or •shes upstairs and down. Mother labored valiantly with each new recruit, enlarging her vocabu- lary, instilliwE a few amenities, teaching her to cook and, above all, bake good bread (a real art with a wood-burning stove). When the pu- pil became fairly competent she usually showed her appreciation by finding a better paying job in the more affluent Seventhward. But even in her rawest days she llrorked very hard. Up early to kin- lie fires on winter mornings to make Jhe house comfortable for the family, through an endless day of hard tasks until, with the last supper dishes trashed, she was free to slip her [hoes from her aching feet and rest lerself sewing carpet rags. No won- ler at a later date, when the fac- tories opened their doors to women, they flocked to them by the hundred. Her one contract with others oc- curred when she went for a pail of drinking water to the public pump a block away. There she met the neighbors and lingered to "swap yarns." Mother used to scold her for wasting time, but I fancy mother was secretly entertained by the lurid gossip retailed on her return Satur- day nights she went "on a ball." Where it was held or with whom she danced we never knew, but we did know she returned towards morning fagged, happy and with the sole of her stout shoe worn thin. One of those trips proved disas- THERE IS IN EVERY PACKAGE ' :ttW' Buckirioham FINE ^C UT The Graphochart Shows how to read cluraciei from handwriting, at a glance. lOc PREPAID Graphologist Room 421 73 Adelaide St., W. Toronto trous to Tilly, our latest. Mother and father had guests for dinner one Saturday night, rather important guests, rating the use of mother's prized Limoges. It was a little late when the company settled down for a long evening at whist. Tilly's friends had arrived and were eager to start. Fearing to be left behind, she stacked the dirty dishes in the oven, gave a kitchen a "lick and a promise," and went to the dance. Next morning half asleep and for- getting all about the china, she lit a good fire in the stove before going to mass. On her return she was restored to her family. f "les An III Wind if Like to treat your cupboard and closet sdelves a new wayT Trim them with these dainty crocheted edgings, and see them take on new importance!

Toronto. Write plainly PATTERN NUMBER, your NAME and ADDRESS. Writes The Sydney Herald. â€" A broken piston rod is bringing the motorship, Jeff Davis, back to Syd- ney for repairs. The mishap came as a bitter dis- appointment to a passenger, who is hurrying with her baby son to Ameri- cas to the only clinic in the world where an operation can be performed which may save his life. On the other hand, the mishap was welcomed by a newly-married de- portee on the Jeff Davis, who will now be able to see his wife in Sydney again. The child to save whose life his mother is making a dramatic dash half way round the world, is Kel- vin Rodgers, 3, of Boort, Victoria, who swallowed a three-inch packing nail, which lodged in his lung, about 20 months ago. Australian special- ists were unable to remove it, and the American Pioneer line granted the child and his mother a free pas- sage to New York to enaole an opera- tion to be performed in the only clinic in the world which possesses the equipment for such a delicate operation and surgeons trained in \\» use. On the same ship is an American galley-boy into whose brief stay in Australia was crammed a whirlwind marriage, a brief honeymoon, arrest, and deportation. Upon the return of the ship to Sydney he will probably be taken in charge by the police un- til the vessel is ready to put to sea again, but his wife will be able t' see him on visiting days Propose Vessels To Serve Canada Building of Two Fast Passen- ger Ships Discussed in London LONDON. â€" Building of two new passenger vessels capable of competing with the fast, well-equip- ped ships of the Matson Line, to maintain a monthly service between the west coast of Canada and Aus- tralia and New Zealand was the sub stance of a scheme discussed in the House of Lords today. Lord Halifax said the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand was prepared to submit such a scheme in an effort to rationalize the trans- Pacific service. The plan would in- volve the abandonment of the Union Steamship Company's service as a means of placing the Canadian Aus- tralasian Line on a sound financial footing. Lord Lloyd urged the granting of subsidies to the two steamship com- panies which, he said, are suflfering loss of traffic to American subsidized shjppinir. Tootle Him f* Stir in Turner Valley Writes the Calgary Albertan. â€" It was like old times in Calgary when the Turner Valley Royalites well can- in on a recent afternoon. It was better than old times; for never in a history of the Valley oii opera- tions had there been so sensational a development. The largest crude oil well in the British Empire is something not to be taken lightly. So as the news spread, sightseers turned their cars Valleyward and into the nostrils of the little village, quietly resting these last few years, was breathed the breath cf n new life. The Valley has re-awakei.ed, an important day in the history of our Alberta. The event which re-awoke it is the fulfilment of hopes of men who broke the soil with something of the spirit that opened up the West, built the Canadian Pacific and did ether acts that m.ide our land what it is For the new well, and the new activity to which its coming must give birth are monuments to convic- tion in the presence of unbelief, per- sistence desp'te the criticism of well- meaning, hut doubting advisers. The following is a Japanese rule for motorists, translated inco English by a native official: "At the rise of the hand of a policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass him or otherwise disrespect him. When a passenger of the foot hoves in sight tootle the horn trumpet to him, melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passages, tootle him with vigor, and express by word of mouth the warning, 'Hi, hi!' Do not explode the exhaust box at the wan- dering horse; go soothingly by. Give big space to the sportive dog that makes sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement of the dog with your wheel-spokes. Go soothingly on the grease-mud, as there lurks the skid demon; press the brake of the foot as you roll round the corners and save the collapse and tie-up."â€" Our Empire. Fish Destroys Mosquito Notes the Australian Press Bureau. â€"A little fish, called gambusia affairs, is helping to free Papua, which is governed by Australia, from the n alaria mosquito. According to the government medical officer's re- port, the fish were introduced into Papua from New Guinea, in 1933, and wherever they had been placed, they had eliminated the mosquito larvae. Some were placed in a lagoon, and a big flood carried them to neighbor- ing lagoons. In five months all the lagoons were swarming with the fish and the mosquito had been entirely eliminated. One lagoon, of six acres, which teemed with the larvae had been cleared in three months, and the fish had been bred to countless millions. les Still Money Writes the St. Catherines Stand- ard. â€" A popular note is struck by the editor of The Ottawa Journal, who confess he will be glad to get his hancis on any of the new bilingual money to be issued by the Bank of Canada They are calling it mongrel coin in some places, but that certain- ly won't hurt its genera! acceptance.

Second Shock Restores Life In EHectrocuted Animals N'EW YORKâ€" Experinents with the electrocution of sheep and their subsequent revival by counter-shock, begun nine years ago by the Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc., and the Physiology Department of Columbia University, vill be completed shortly, according to Dr. H. B. Williams, of the College of Physicians and Surge- ons. Many of the electrocuted sheep are stiil alive and well, he said. The scientific results of the ex- periments are being prepared for presentation to the .American Insti- tute of Electrical Engineers. The original goal, be explained, hd been to determine the effect on human beings of low-voltage shocks. But the sheep, chosen because their hearts conform in size and weight to those of men, recorded on the ela- borate electro-cardiograph set up for the experiments two facts hitherto unknown: That only during one-fifth of the cycle of a heartbeat will short shocks of low voltage produce d«ath; and that in a majority of these cases a subsequent shock of high intensity and short duration, if it is applied less than two minutes after the heart has stopped beating, will restore the electrocuted animal to life with ne permanent damage.
