Route the King and Queen Will Take Through Toronto f<INC ANO Quf^eN WALK hUOM PAtltr Bt^oor, ro HAur •nouses â€" - FoUowiii},' it'ltase of viuious plans and couiiterplan.-; fur the royal visit to Toioiilo i ii f'lay ;;2, llio linal route for their majvsties' trip through the city is announced ns shown on the map. Complete details of every mo- ment of the royal visit to Toronto have also been released, even to the speed of the entourage through city â- treets, which will vary between seven and 15 miles an hour. Have You Heard Tigers had been ravaging a vil- lage and the terror-stricken natives •ant for Ihe nearest white man to assist them. This man was a crack shot and had never been known to miss. His method was to tie a goat to the foot of a trpe at dusk, clirab the tree, and when the tigers came for the goat, fire at the flash of their eyes. In the morning they would be found dead, shot straight between the eyes. He followed his usual procedure the first tiight, but although he fir- ed several shots, when day dawn- ed the goat had gone and there were no dead tigers. This happened on two succeed- ing nights. Perturbed, ho took a huge torch with him on the fourth night and instead of firing at the (lashing eyes, switched on his big torch, and saw, to his amazement, ilx tigers advancing in pairs each with one eyes shut! "Qood card players have in- •crutable features," says a wri- ter. There Is always trouble If It is noticed that they are wearing their hearts up their â-  leeves. "I suppose you carry a memen- to of some sort in that locket?" •aid one woman to another. "Yes, a lock of my husband's hair." "But your husband is alive." "Sure; but his hair is gone." "Would you like anything elce with your dinner, ilr?" "Yes, that little blonde sit- ting In the corner over there." Tfirce slightly deaf men were motoring from the north to Lon- don In an old noisy car, and bear- ing was difficult. Aa they were nearing London, one asked: "Is this Wembiy?" "No," replied the second, "this la Thursday." "So am I," put in the third. "So let's stop and have one." What Science % IS Doins ^ TREE RINGS IDEA UPSET It is now found that telling the age of a tree by the number of its rings i.s like trying to tell a wo- man's age iiy her look.s. The discovery up.sets one of man's oldest beliefs that trees put on one ring each year. They arc visible when the trunk of a tree i.s sawed in two. Trees were discovered in Texas that put on five a year. Hardly •ny were found that failed to add at leatt two anually. TO SOBER UP DRUNKS To sober up tjuickly when dead drunk, take an intravenous injec- tion of insulin and of glucose. Dis- covery that these two "shot.s" will quickly reduce the alcohol in the blood was reported by Walter Goldfarb, Karl M. Bowman and Samnel Parker, of Bcllevue and (RINGS INSTANT lASI r<'r^^^sJ.%* Kings County Hospitals, New York City. They tried it on drunks brought to the hospital. The shot,s convert the alcohol into water and carbon dioxide. WOULD BANISH ALL PAIN Medical research workers have discovered a new anaesthetic which they believe will abolish pain all over the body. The theory is that when body cells are injured they release a powerful substance known as his- famine. ThLs substance, it is thought, activates the endings of the nerve's which carry pain .sen- sations to and from the brain. The new anaesthetic called thynioxye- thyldietlylamine, neutralizes the histamine and so no pain me.ssages are sent to the brain. How Can I? BY ANNE ASH" EY '••••»>»fi Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. 'When a young man has been introduced to a girl, and likes her very much, is it all right for hint to ask permission to call on her? 2. Isn't it a friendly gesture to hold a person's hand, or place a hand on his arm, while talking with him? 3. 'What would be a good toast for a host to offer to a guest? 4. Should a business letter al- ways be signed personally by some member of the firm, or is a type- written signature sufficient? 5. Is it correct to refer to dra- peries as "drapes"? 6. 'When a man takes a woman in to dinner, should be ofTer her his right arm or his left? Answer! 1. Yes, after he has been in her company for a reasonable time, but not within the first twenty or thirty minutes. 2. It may be a friendly gesture, but it is very an- noying to some people and should be avoided. 3. "To our guest, and our only request is that he be our guest often." 4. Every letter should be signed with pen and ink. 6. No; say "draperies." One might aa well refer to curtains as "curts." G. He should ofTer his right arm. Q. â€" How can I make a good soap substitute for washing rib- bons, and also delicate woollen goods ? A. â€" Some people claim that two or three potatoes grated into a pan of water will give even better re- sults than soap for this' purpose. Q.â€" How can I prevent eggs from breaking or sticking to the pan when poaching? A. â€" Put a few drops of vinegar into the water. Another method is to grease the pan before putting the water into it. Q. â€" What is a good tonic for plants? A. â€" The water in which beef has been washed is an excellent tonic treatment for plants, especi- ally for roses and geraniums. Q. â€" How can 1 restore the nap of velvet? A. â€" Hold the wrong side of the velvet over a boiling kettle, or rub it across the bottom of a hot flat iron which has been turned up- side down. Q. â€" How can I soften hard wa- ter? A. â€" There are several agents that may be used for softening hard water. Among them are lemon juice, borax, or an oatmeal bag. Q. â€" How can I increase my weight 7 A.^ â€" It is said that a wineglass of cream taken after each meal will increase the weight. SCOUTING The Boy Scouts of Canada are all ready to play their important part during the visit of Their Ma- jesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the various stop- ping places of the royal tour they will assist in lining the streets, and in traffic control. In the lar- ger centres they will maintain mobile fir.st aid units, and will op- erate lost children bureaus and rest rooms. On incoming high- ways they will co-ojjerate in the sta£Rng of information booths for the benefit of motorists. STReamuneoA moDCRm CHfimpion Fireatone triumphs again!

As a unique international de- monstration of Scout neighborli- ne.ss, during the day, May 20, Ca- nadian and American Scouts will meet at various points along the boundary line, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, for a goodwill cere- mony, and the planting of "King's Birthday Trees." Notable gath- erings are expected on the historic Niagara border, and at Windsor and Detroit. *' WORTH COMING OVBR FOR.'" Dixie it » srtnd smoke «ny. way you take it.

As a result of the outstanding success of the recent Toronto Scout Cyclorama â€" a fair of booths representing over 100 educational features of the Scout training â€" held in the Canadian National E.x- hibition Coliseum and adjoining arena, C.N.E. offlcials discussed the posibility of the Scout show being made a feature of the great fall fair. The Cyclorama was attend- ed by crowds reminding of big days of the "Ex."' DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO One of t.he features of the Scout Cyclorama was a long stieet of hobby work by Wolf Cubs and Scouts, displaying literally thous- ands of items, from art work to airplanes of evei'y known model, and appetizing examples of the culinary elTorts of young camp cooks. GARDENING CULTIVATION Aside from the planning and planting, no early job compares with cultivation. Authorities do not ask one to keep the hoe going all Summer, far from it. But they do request that the garden be dug once thoroughly first thing in the Spring, then cultivated once or twice afterwards. With proper tools the work need be no more than healthy exercise. For the purpose, there is nothing better than a little three or five fingered cultivator or a Dutch hoe. Either of these implements will make short work of a vegetable or flow- er garden. Cultivation serves a double purpose, it keeps down weeds and it conserves moisture. STONE WALKS Particularly in the smaller gar- den where visitors and children soon wear grass thin along the edges of flower beds or between the house and the swing or arbor, regular paths are of vei"y practi- cal value. With a little care they will add beauty to the rest of the garden, too. Most pleasing mate- rial of all for this purpose is llag- stones. These are broad,- flat, thin slabs of any soft stone, usual- ly found in abundance around cer- tair) river beds. They are sunk flush with the ground so that the lawnmower will run over them, and at least an inch and a half of grass left be- tween edges. S-jmetimes a little sand is placed under the stone for drainage. Other walk materials are sand, cinder or brick. ^Eskimos Thrive Without Worry Because they don't worry about rent, war scares and "age phycho- logy, Eskimos rarely suffer heart disease, blood presure <ji cancer," Dr. Victor E. Levine, professor of biological chemistry and nutrition of Creiphton University Medical School, Omaha, N'eb., said in an interview last week. Dr. Levir.K dci/ared Eskimos don't keep track of their ages and never celebrate birthdays^'Thal's why they are young till they die." WHEN TRANSPLANTING Experts point out that the se- cret of successful transplanting is plenty of water, when the job is done and for a week or so after- wards. Of next importance will be shade and stimulant. Moving a plant is something like an opera- tion for a human being, and the larger the specimen the more ne- cessary the attention. With shrub- bery and trees often main roots are cut and the shock is severe.
