♦ â- 4 Austerity Says No Trousseau For The Princess In Britain, where austerity is the mle, one must have ration coupons to buy clothing. Each Hriton last March received thirty-two cloth- ing coupons â€" all that will be issued until this October. The ration docj not permit wild buying sprees. For •xample, twenty-six coupons arc re- quired for a iDan's suit; eleven for â-  woman's woolen dress. Such pre- war luxuries as wedding trousseaus are usually out of the question. Many bridcs-to-bc do not even buy them or rent them. Last week Buchinghara Palace announced that, because of "pre- •ent-day conditions' Princess El- izabethâ€"who is to many Lieut. Philip Mountbatten on Nov. 20 â€" will "not be having a trousseau." The announcement, however, made it plain that Princess Elizabeth would not have to borrow or rent hti wedding gown. It disclosed that Norman Hartncll, one of Jiritain's leading designers, was W'orking on a royal wedding gown â€" for which, presumably, the Princess will be able to dig up the ntccssary cou- pons. Court circles last week said that, in place of a new trousseau, the Princess would make do with the wardrobe she accuniulaitd for the royal visit to South Africa early this year (at that time a special award of clothing coupons had been madi to the luyal family). British Housing Patternâ€" A major step to tlic solution of Brit- ain's sc\crc liousiiig sliortagc is this new group of 711 prefabric- ated homes near Yarmouth, England. The project is the largest of its kiiid in the British Isles. Budget-Saving Upholstering Job Have yoir a much-worn chair that needs repairing on the seat and arms like ours did? Our barrel chair was covered in a striped fabric. Rather than pay for the reupholstcring of the entire chair, when only the scat was badly worn, it occurcd to as to remove the material, which was the same stripe and was in good condition, from the outer back of the clinir. l^rom this piece we sal- vaged jutt enough material to make a new cover for the scat and arms. Although tne fabric from the back was faded a somewhat different «hadc, it quickly blended in with the rest through use and by shampoo- ing the entire chair. A plain, neutral piece of material, which was found on a remnant table, was then placed around thS back of the chair. The whole pro- ject cost but a fraction of what one would pay to reupholsler or even slipcover the entire chair. Whetlicr the fabric is flowered or •triped, the same pleasing effect can be achieved by combining it with a plain, neutral back and sides. Upholstering can be fun? Why not try it yourself? t* Remains" to be Seen After (arly service at Suttoii, Eng., Parish Church' one day recently, a little procession came out of the main porch and made its way to a 200-year-old tomb in the churchyard. The heavy iron door was unlocked and a brief inspection was made of •even cofl'ms inside. Then the tomb wa> locked again. The ceremony was the annual opening of the tomb of James Gibson, a wealthy 17th-century City Merchant, and his family. Body matchers were busy when he died, «nd a daughter, Mary, left a large Mim for the tomb's upkeep and an- nnal inspection, which has been made for 160 years. Healthy Old-Age Over the past several years man's life-span has been Icngtliencd, most- ly by cutting down the diseases of youth and middlcagc. As a result, more persons are reaching old age, and now society is confronted will) the problem of combatting the dis- eases in this '.»rgc and increasing age group. New York University's College fo Medicine and tlic Cold- water Memorial Hci.'pital Welfare Island working with several co- operating agencies ,are about to embark on an old-age disease re- search project that inay provide the answers, suggests The New York Times. The techniijue of the survey will be to use hospital patients for re- search over long periods of time- in some cases from ten to fifteen years â€" so tliat the study ot cid-agc diseases v/ill be continuous and thorough. The new approach Will be in contrast to previous "piece- meal" studies conducted orer the short periods that patients have been available in hospitals. The plan distinctly is not an ef- fort to lengthen the life-span of old people, but rather an Htfcniiit to give them a healthy old age, so their last years may be spent in "reasonable comfort and happi- ness." If the agencies making this study can help man overcome his fear of old age by reducing its at- tendant ills, they will have per- formed a distinct service to tlie hu- man comnninity. Lightning Almost everyone has heard the admonition, "Don't stand under a tree during a thunderstorm." Life insurance statistics recently compiled show how important that advice is. They reveal that about onethird of all persons kill- ed by lightning were struck while under a tree. The warning, it would seem, is a good one and one to be rigidly observed.

There's a warming, stimulating, uplifting quality about cheerfulness, just as- there is a sense of coldness and depression in gloom, says The Brandon Sun. There's nothing as infectious as laughter, and it's one type of contagion which the doctors welcome. The happy soul in office, in classroom or in the home, is the fountain-head of a tonic better than any which comes in bottles. Cause of Death Insurance companies often come across unique evasions on the forms applicants fill out. One man, in the space asking the cause of parental death, wrote, "Father was taking part in a public func- tion and the platform gave way, ending his life." Subsequent in- vestigation disclosed that his fa- ther had been hanged for cattle rustling. â€" Reader's Digest Many species of lizards arc able to detach their tails when pursued, in order to distract the foe. Tea History Packed With Romance F.Ntr since tea was first used as a drink it has been the centre of big events, the V.iicouver Sun remarks, and its history is packed with romance. It was not until the latter half of the 17th centurj that tea bctjan to obtain a footing in Engkmd. Pcpys records, under the date of September 2,S, 16il. "1 sent for a cup of tea (a Chma drink) of which 1 had never drunk before." Three years later the Fast India Com])any brongb' a package of two pounds, two ounces of tea as a present ..for ..King ..Charles the Second. By 1842 the home consumption of tea in the United Kingdom had reached 37 million p(nmds, while a century later it stood at the stagger- ing total of .S26 million pounds, valued at £31,000,000. Until 114 years ago, the tea trade was mono- polized by the East India Company. There were so many scandals over prices that in 1833 a Bill was passed to allow any individual to import tea. In 1852, the avcra.cc cost to the consumers of 54 million pounds of tea in Britain was just about $1 per pound, of which the original produc- er" in China got less than 20 cents. Thousands of people used to wait on British docks for the arrival of tea ships. This was the "golden age of the clipper ships." Gold, tin, rubber and oil booms fade into insignifi- cance when compared wth tea as a speculative commodity on the Lon- don market. And, of course, it was British im- position of an impopular import duty on this commodity which did much to crystallize discontent in the American colonics, brought the first organized resistance in the "Boston Tea Party" of 1773 and provided a rallying issue for the colonics. Of all non-alcoholic beverages in the world tea is by far the most popular. Coffee is second, and cocoa third. Salads To Suit In making a salad the main course in a meal, it should be built around a protein food, such as meat, fish, cheese or eggs. The experts say, too, that eye-appeal is important. To make a salad colorful as well as nutritious, they suggest that it be garnished with crisp radish roses, celery curls, carrot straws or parsley.

VEGETABLE COMPOUND Women Use Mouths Emergency Pockets Struck by the damage women do to their teeth by stuffing bobby pins into their mouths, a Colorado dentist has invented a tooth guard. This marks a scientific advance, perhaps. but at the same time it smacks of defeatism. The dentist has no cure for tho habit. He merely is trying to make it less destructive, says Thi' Windsor Star. No doubt he knew there is no cure. Women have been using their mouths as emergency pockets for so long that this has become a reflex action. The internal confusion of the handbag, and their usually pock- etlcss apparel, have driven them to it. Now it has become instinctive. Glance around at the women wait- ing at a bus stop, and many of thegi.^ especially the ones loaded down with parcels, will be seen holding a coin, ticket, or perhaps a transfer between pursed lips. Mind you, we're not condemning the practice. We doubt if the transit companies could operate without it; Same Thing Doris: "Mother! What did you do when a boy first kissed you?" Mother: "Never mind."

ManChBcksWiMRideof Runaway Car on Steep Hill WENS bow AWARD ARMAND TURMEL OF SHERBROOKE, P. Q. risks life fo prevent disaster Xt was Sunday afternoon. Armand Turmel and his wife were sitting on a balcony facing Fabre street in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Suddenly, Armand gripped his wife's arm. "Look! Who's the fool driving that car?" Picking up speed down the steep ^rade, an automobile was swerv- ing from curb to curb! NO DRIVER I Then, as the car approached the Turmels, tbey saw that there was no one in it! Ignoring his wife's warning cries, Armand leaped from the balcony and sprinted out to the runaway automobile. When he finally reached it, the car had gathered considerable speed. Ahead there were children playing; on a lawn, and cyclists oblivious to the danger were coasting down the hill. Beyond, there was a dangerous drop onto the railroad uacks! DIVES FOR BRAKES Armand wrenched open the door and threw himself across the front seat ... in the nick of time he applied the brakes and brought the car to a slop. This man's quick and coura- geous action undoubtedly averted what might have been a terrible accident.
