Cleaning Fluids â€" Handle With Care Not long ago a New Jersey wo- man affcmpted to clean a pair of gloves with an inflamniable clean- ing fluid near a lighted coal Stove. Two minutes later slie was dead. So were a iieiglibor's two little girU who were visiting her. Iler three small sons, pulled from the flaming â- wreckage of the home, died of burns in an ambulance on the way to a hospital. In another instance a maid who decided to clean several articles of clothing with naptha forgot to open the doors and windows of the room in which she was working. She was found on the floor shortly afterward in a semi-conscious con- dition and bleeding from a lacera- tion of the scalp. Evidently she had fallen and injured herself when overcome by the fumes of the cleaning fluid. Fortunately, she recovered, although the head injury disabled her for three weeks. These cases are not isolated in- cidents. Similar ones happen re- peatedly. They illustrate the dan- ger of using solvents carelessly round the home. Protection against these organic solvents â€" the chem- ists' name for many cleaning fluids â€" demands a knowledge of their hazards. These hazards arc of four kinds. Some solvents are highly inflam- mable, and all give off harmful vapors. All can be injurioui to the skin, and all are poisonoab a" idken internally. Five types of organic solvents are used in the home for cleaning clothes, rugs, uphol.stcry and leather; for thinning and removing paints; and for dozens of other purposes. The most common of these solvents are: 1. Gasoline, naptha and benzine. 2. Turpentine. 3. Benzol (sometimes called ben- Ecne; not to be confused with »enzinc). 4. .Methyl and ethyl alcohol. 5. Carbon tetrachloride. Care must be taken, also, to avoid breathing the vapors of or- ganic solvents, because all the com- mon ones arc anesthetics, and some may cause more or less serious injury to internal organs if large amounts of the vapor are inhaled for a considerable period of time. The most serious solvent hazard is that of indammability. Accord- ing to the National Fire Protection Association, about 200 persons are killed annually and a thousand in- jured in 23,000 fires caused by in- flammable cleaning fluids used in American homes. As far as itiflammability is con- cerned, carbon tetrachloride is 100 per cent safe, since it will not burn and its vapors will not explode. In fact, the liquid is an efficient and widely-used fire extinguishing agent, Success A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife tan spend, and a successful woman is one who can land such a man. Horse Sense Two Comics â€" and a Prize Beauty â€" Betty Jean Ferguson of Halifax is better known to hun- dreds of thousands as "Miss Canada". While visiting the Canadian National Exhibition one of her special thrills was a "buggy ride" with the famous comedy team Ole Olsen and Chick Johnson. That's Olsen holding the reins, while Chick tries to persuade Betty Jean that there's al)solutely no danger of anything extraordinary happening. since it vaporizes on contact with heat and smothers a fire. Ethyl and methyl alcohol are in- flammable solvents, somewhat more so than turpentine but much less inflammable than gasoline, benzine and benzol. Highly Inflammable Gasoline and its related products are so highly inflammable that many states have regulations gainst storing them in the home. They give off highly inflammable vapors which can flow in invisible streams as far as 200 feet from their source. Where the inflammable solvents are concerned the danger of fire is greater inside the home than out- side, since indoors there are more sources of ignition for solvent vapors, such as stoves, furnaces, electrical appliances, and the like. Also there are more combustible materials to spread a fire. Accord- ingly, inflammable solvents should be used out of door wherever pos- sible. Care must be exercised to avoid generating static electrical sparks when pouring the solvents from one metal container iiUo another or when rubbing cleaning fluid on fabrics, leather or other articles to be cleaned. By placing the pan or basin in which the fluid is to be used on the ground out of doors, static electricily may be conducted harmlessly off into the earth. Those who tend to minimize the danger of such static electrical sparks might bear in mind that even the tiny sparks generated by rubbing a cat's fur have been known to ignite explosive solvent vapors. All the highly inflammable sol- vents should be stored outdoors, in approved safety containers, and only in small (|uantitics. '^^ I â€"^ hearty chicken dinner that Pepper. Flour. â-  Bacon Fat.

Cool to lukewarm. Spread 2}4 cups nut meals â€" English walnut* or pecans â€" or a mixture of bothâ€" on a cookie sheet and toast In a 460 degree F. oven until brown. (This will take watching. Shake the cookie sheet often and turn nuts over with a pancake turner so they will brown evenly.) When tliev are cool, set aside a dozen or io perfect halves to decorate the top of the mold and cut or break the rest into fairly large pieces and stir them into the pudding. Now line the tides of the mold with lady fingers In a pattern that suits its shape. If you're using an oblong or squart moid, put lady fingers on tne bottom as well as on the sidts. Spread • tnin •oating of softened butter on the outsidt of the lady fingers and they r'ill stick to the mold wherever you place them.

With the Movie and Radio Foll(s By Grace Sharp In commenting on the return of "The Pause that Refreshes" pro- gram to the air, after its summer layoff, The New York Times showers some nice â€" and well-mer- ited â€" compliments in the diri.c-.-ran of Percy Faith, Canadian orchestra, leader. This is to say he was ori- ginally a Canadian, although it be- gins to look as if the bigger oppor- tunities south of the border have taken a firm hold on him. * * * "Under the knowing hand of Percy Faith, the programming for the broadcast draws its subbstance largely from the enduring popular favorites and selections currently enjoying public approval," the re- view says, .in part. "Mr. Faith treats each to the same skilful orchestra- tion which brings out the richness in a song witliout tamepring with its melody." * * * Then the reviewer goes on to make some remarks which will strike a receptive note in the hearts of thousands who fairly detest the ovcrlcngtliy commercial "plugs" which mar so many of the pro- grams we hear. "Not the least of the program's, virtues are its conimtTcials, which are exemplary for modesty in length and tone ... In addition to being fine entertainment (The Pause That Refreshes) is a lesson in good public relations and an asset to broadcas-ting." * * * In the British-made film entitled "Cockpit" Harcourt Williams plays the part of a priest whose hands have been completely maimed and fingers broken by torture in con- centration camps in which he had been confined.

This was then covered with a coating of collo- dion â€" which drew up the 'actor's hands to such an extent that he was unable to use a knife and fork while it was on, and had to be fed. • * • Just in case you ever get into an argument as to wh.T was the first motion pciture ever produced in Canada â€" or even if you J&n't â€" here are the facts. It was "Hiawatha" filmed at Desbarats, Ontario, back in 1903 by Charles Urban, an American from Chicago, who later did a lot of cinema pioneering in Great Brit- ain. The acting â€" or most of it any- way â€" was done by Ojibway In- dians, and the picture consisted of some twenty scenes, and ran 825 feet in length. . * • * They must have established some sort of a record when they made "Four I'.ices West" in which Joel McCrea and Frances Dee are featured. Although it is a typical Western, with bank robbers, sheriffs, posses and all "the fixin's" and al- though there are guns all over the place, not a single shot is fired. Near- .est anybody comes to getting knocked off is when McCrea gets bit by a rattlesnake; but in spite of this the picture doesn't lack for ac- tion. ♦ ♦ ♦ A small Nova Scotia fishing vill- age is the setting for "Johnny Be- linda" starring Lew Ayres and Jane Wynian â€" but whether it is the real thing or a reasonable Holly- wood facsimile I haven't heard. It's said to be a very sincere and touch- ing film, with Ayres playing the part of a young doctor who be- friends a girl who is a deaf nmte, and who is- being badly abuse! by a brute of a father. Jane Wyman's performance is being hailed as one of the finest ever screened â€" and some of the critics are already pre- dicting an Academy Award for her on the sticngth of it.

Barclay Warren Barnabas, A Good Man Acts 4:36-37; 9:26-27; 11:22-86; 13:1-3. Golden Text:â€" He was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith.â€" Acts 11:24. A man who has been preaching for forty-five years said, "If I were starting out again as a young man I should preach more of comfort and encouragement." Joses, a Le- vite from Cyprus, so excelled in this type of ministry that the apost- les surnamed him Barnabas, which means "the son of consolation." Barnabas played an important part in assisting Saul into the full- time ministry. Saul came to Jerusa- lem to join the disciples there but he was shunned, as they thought it might be a trick to get on the in- side and secure their death. But Barnabas befriended him. He told the apostles of Saul's conversion, he was then accepted as one of them. After the martyrdom of Stephen the disciples were scattered but they bore witness of Jesus. At Antioch many believed and Barna- bas was sent to that city. Then he went to Tarsus and sought Saul, and together they ministered there MR 7 Alex S. A READER has sent in an excel- lent example of Miss Ellen Terry's handwriting, asking me to make a a brief analysis of it. Miss Terry was England's most loved act- ress and thrilled many audiences with her superb perormances until 1928. The writing is very clear and there is little difficulty in reading each letter. All t' e loop letters are open as in "e" and "1" and these are indicative of frankness, truthfulness and honesty, with a desire for fair play and justice for all. The capital letters are moderately high, show- ing an independent nature, and are not too tall, which would be an in- dication of haughtiness. The capital letter "E," the down- stroke of the '.'y," and the strong understrokcs arc the outstanding in- dications of Miss Terry's faith in her ideals and sincere desire to at- tain success. You will never find heavy understrokcs in the writing cf a weakling or a person who com- plains about difficulties. Ellen Ter- ry's success was partly due to her ability to increase her determina- tion to succeed when all seemed hopeless. It is a good example of courage, graciousness and love of service. for a year. It was soon apparent that Saul, now called Paul, waa the greater of the two men. They disagreed at the outset of the sec- ond missionary journey with respect to taking Mark. They parted. Bar* nabas taking Mark and Paul taking Silas. Each pair did good work. Paul was the more eminent but Barnabas helped him to get started. Christian workers should always b* on the alert to find and encourage others to work for God.
