What Science is ^ Doing ^ ECHOES TO BE CAPTURED It is possible to capture an ' echo. They are made and stored in an ingenious device which has been developed in the laboratories of the Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tem. The instrument is used to give a natural sound to voices or music transmitted from radio stu- dios where it is necessary to dead- en the walls so that they kill all reverberation. FUTURE THOUGHTS IN FRONT Two Washington, D.C., physi- cians describe experiments tend- ing to substantiate a theory that the front section of the human brain controls future thoughts while the rear poil/ion governs those of the past. "With an intact brain an indi- vidual is able to foresee to see be- fore, to forecast the results of certain activities that he is to ini- tiate in the future." Whiter White Paint T.B. AND VITAMIN A A connection between tubercu- losis and a deficiency in vitamin A in the body has been observed. It was discovered that of nearly 200 tuberculosis patients 53 per cent, showed a deficiency of this vitamin and in this group there was a relationship between the se- verity of the disease and the de- gree of deficiency.

The secret of the new whiter paint is in the use of the most modern of paint pigments â€" tita- nium dioxide â€" someiimcs called the whitest known pigment. This pigment is known to have several limes the hiding power of any of the older white pigments and in addition, when properly incorpor- ated in a linseed oil vehicle, it provides a much more durable and much better appearing paint. Druggist's House (2 a.m.). Ir- ate Druggi.st: "Groat heavens, man! A penny worth of bicar- bonate of soda at this unearthly hour, when a glass of hot water would have done as well."

"Come along, dear," laid the hostett, "I want you to feel at home." "1 don't want to feel at home." said little Reginald, "I want to feel at a party." "Pawson," said Aunt Caroline ferociously- "I'd like to kill dat low-down husband o' mine." "Why, Caroline, what's he done?" "Done? Why he's gone and left de chicken house door open, and all de chickens has escaped." "Oh, well, that's nothing. Chic- kena, you know, come home to roojt." "Come home?" gpo aned Aunt Caroline.

A. â€" Thii can to avoided to a great extent if the position of the furniture is changed occasionally, and also if about twice a year, the rug is turned eater-cornered. Q. â€" How can t wash lettuce thoroughly? A. â€" All the sand and dirt will be washed otf letuce if it is placed in a colander, the loaves separat- es!, and cold water run through Ihcni.

A. â€" Worn gloves will be very useful if they are used when par- ing vcgotablcp, or working over any vegetables that are likely to stain the fingers and hands. Canada's Racial Variety Praised Dominion Is No "Meltuig-Pot" â€" Standardized Type Of Human Being Deplored. Standardized citizens are not de- sirable for Canada, according to John Murray Gibbon, general pub- licity agent of the C.P.R., speaking at Montreal last week on the con- tributions that Canada's varying immigrant strains have made to Iho Dominion's whole In culture. He pointed out that in the Unit- ed States It Is the endeavor to blend all races into a single amal- gamation called "American." The Canadian Ideal is to let Immigrants retain much of their Individual cul- ture and habits. "Some of us may hope to see the day when it would be hard to dls- tlnguislj a Krench-Canadlan of Trols Rivieres from an Anglo-Can- adian of Toronto," said Mr. Gib- bon. "Wo would then, so to speak, swap Mr. Hepburn with Mr. Du- plesslsâ€" but tlicre are others of us who like lo SOB the French-Cana- dl:uis retain the best of their own traditions and culture. Mr. Gibbon described many of the handicraft-folk song festivals foi» European racial groups which have been organlied lu Western (Canada by the Canadian raciflo Itailway and the Canadian Handi- crafts Guild. IMPROVED PASTURES HIGHER FOOD VALUE Clinmtic conditioiu In many parta of this country may not pwrmit of paature improvement in the same remarkable degree aa on tome Scottish farms, yet the work «f Canadian research experts and the experience of hundreds of practical farmers prove that much of Canadian pasture land can be made vastly more productive than it is, says G. N. Snyder, soils che- mist. Not only do improved pas- tures yield more grass per acre, but the herbage is notably richer in protein, minerals, vitamins and carotene, a fact definitely proven by the researches of Professor N. J. Thomas, Ontaiio Agricultural College, and other authorities. Build Up Soil Fertihty The first requisite in pasture improvement is the building up of soil fertility. Liming may be ne- cessalry for very acid" soils, but in general the major mineral plant foods â€" pho.sphate and pota.sh â€" are of first importance. If the pro- cess is one of renovating an old pasture without breaking it up, the first application of fertilizer must be heavy enough â€" 400 to 600 pounds of 0-16-G or 2-16-6 per acre â€" to produce a vigorous growth of wild white clover and other pasture legumes. Wild •white clover, a true perennial with creeping stems that root at the nodes, provides exceptionally nu- tritious and palatable herbage. It adds nitrogen to the soil and pro- duces a dense sward that is very effective in moisture control through preventing run-off from hea^'y summer rains and evapora- tion during periods of extreme heat. When establishing new pas- tures it is advisable to consult a forage crop expert regarding the most suitable pasture mixtures for the particular soil and regional oonditions. Pale blue light proves a fatal lure to the grape leaf hoppers, a serious pest in vineyards, as re- ported by J. K. Ellsworth of the University of California. Females of the species responded most readily to the light. Counts of large sample catches showed 88 per cent, female insects. Manitoba hens lay more than 10 million dozens of eggs in a year. Beautify Your Farm Property SHRUBS FOR THE FARM HOME By John P. CLARK, Ont. Dept of Agriculture, Toronto., The foundation line of every home needs â- peclal treatmutt, as a aoftenlng of levere architectural lines must be secured, making the rigid and often unsightly founda- tion more attractive. No better medium is offered than a planting ot flowering shrubs to frame the home, melting It into the site and tying the building to the ground. Always confine shrub masses to the outer edges or boundaries, avoiding the spotting of single shrubs throughout the lawn. They should be so arranged that open vistas appear from windows and verandah. Varieties should be planted In groups, and In small grounds nothing more elaborate than a planting ot a lew ot each, which will content themselves within the space, shade, moisture and soil conditions, one has to of- fer, need be attempted. Specimens And Kinds For Various Excellent specimens may be se- cured In the Magnolia, Weeping Mulberry, Flowering Almond, Rose of Sharroa and Lilac. Varieties having a number ot features may be chosen, the aim being color, foliage, berries and flowers at different seasons to pro- long the blooming period. This list would include Forsythia, Spiraea, Weigella, Hydrangea and the Hib- iscus. Suitable shrubs for shady places, not directly under trees, are Dog- wood, Coral Berry, Snowberry, El- der, Phlladelphus, Hydrangea, Ar- borescens, Lonlcera and Spirea, providing the position Is not in dense shade. The ornamental effect of good flowering shrubs will prove a valu- able addition to the grounds when used as a hedge. These may in- clude Chinese Elm, Lilac, Mock Orange, Bridal Wreath, Caragana and Honeysuckle. The Alpine Cur- rant makes a satisfactory hedge even la dense sh'ade. The root.? should never be per- mitted to dry out, either before or after planting. Damaged roots should be removed, and the bal- ance spread out naturally In the soil. Give firm planting. Where there are a number of shoots or branches they should be headed THAT REMINDS ME~ OGDEN'S IS COOL SMOKING You'll get a lot of extra pleasure ln"rolllna your i own" with Oooen'8 I)ecau8e it Is a really cooler, better cigarette tobacco.

A top dressing of well-rotted cow manure, lightly cultivated into the soil, will prove beneficial. Avoid crowding and give space for development. Keep shrubs a short distance from walls to escape drip from the root and the reflected heat from the bricks. Spring planting is advised.
