Teeth Sewn Into Your Gum» Free dental service in Britain bac caused the biggest boom ever in tlM manufacture of artificial teeth. Cy- prus is sending nine million teeth a year and a Blacltpool factory it turning them out at the rats of forty million per year, with production still climbing. Before the war thirty million false teeth were used in Britain every year, ten million being home-pro- duced and the rest imported. Chief material used for their man- ufacture is acrophylic plastic. , Sets are "authenticated" by touchmg them up with colours and markings found on your own natural teeth. But the tnne may come when your new teeth will be "sewn" into your gums. This has already been done with cats. "Tooth buds" have been taken from the gums of one- week-old kittens and transplanted into full-grown cats. It is claimed that the buds developed into normal teeth. In early times it >va3 believed implicitly that the pain of toothache was caused by tlje efforts of a small worm persistently boring through the tooth, and to this day in parts of the Hebrides toothache still goes by the name of the worm. In China, too, travellers have re- ported seeing a patient writhing in agony whilst- Ihe village "dentist," having inserted a long, sliarp-point- ed instrument into tlie hollow of the tooth, calmly taps away with a little wooden mallet to impale the mischief-making creature. Toothpicks have been used from Roman times. In the seventeenth century it was considered fashion- able for a gentleman to carry a case of toothpicks round with him. On the Continent they are still used by the million. « In France several factories do notliing else but manufacture them from wood or quills. They are ex- por:ed to all parts of the world. One firm boasts tliat tliey turn out 172 different models, flavoured with essences such as mint, rose, cloves and violet. ^AD ^^^, AtHf^.'^ hronicles %inoerEarm ^ Gv<zrvdolir\e P. Cle^rke Some like big houses, some smalk Generally speaking I like plenty of â- pace. But the last couple of days I've been thinking there is some- ibing to be said in favour of a one- room apartment You see, I've lost â- â- y glasses and I haven't any idea la which of our eleven rooms they may be hidden. So I go tramping frofll one room to another, upstairs and down, turning over this thing, looking into that! trying to remem- ber exactly where I was the last time I used them â€" but so far to no avaiL By the time I have foun^ my (lasses â€" if and when I do â€" I •hall probably have used up the price of the glasses in shoe-leather. If we lived in one room it would at least limit my lost and found area, although those who know from ex- perience tell me it is amazing the things that can disappear even in one room. Added to my too-maiiy-rooms problem there is Honey I Could she by any chance hay-e taken my glasses outside? If so how far from the house do you stop looking on a hundred acres? Last winter, if you remember, 1 lost my glasses one time and found them in the coalbin. By the teeth marks on the ear-lugs I. didn't need to be a Sherlock Holmes to know how they got there. Fortunately I have another pair of glasses but they are bifocals â€" and I doti't like them â€" at least not for reading or typing. However, even without reading ? [lasses I can distinguish good work rem bad. .*\nd that leads up to a yery real "beef." A few months ago 1 bought a â- mockâ€" you know, the kind of thing women wear around the house. It was a very pretty smock, spun rayon, nice lines, and apparently well made. It cost $4.98. But alas, with a few washings the smock started coming to pieces because the scams were neither pinked, bound nor overcast and so frayed right down to the stitching. To save the garment I had to practically remake it. Since I had had similar experi- ances before I thought to myself â€" â- "Well, I suppose that is what comes of buying ready-made thingsâ€" prob- ably all garments are the same ex- cept in the top-price bracket." But one day last week Daughter brought me home a smock . . . and what a difTerencel On this smock â- early every seam was pinkedâ€" or U it couldn't be pinked it was faced with bias binding. It was made of a good quality print, cost $2.9S and â€" I hate to admit it â€" was bought in Buffalo. Naturally the question I want to raise is this: If ready-to- wear garments can be made proper- ly in the U.S.A., why not in Can- ada? .\re things just thrown to- gether in this country because we just accept them and ask for nothing better? If that is so then here is one person who' would like to do a lot of asking. The question is where? Is there a manufacturer's association that would give an ear to such complaints or is there any other way in which we women could agitate to have better quality work on the garments that are offered for sale? I also have another worry â€" but it isn't e.xactly a "beef." Daughter also brought home a little white blouse for her three-year-old god- son in Toronto. The blouse cost a dollarâ€" and Daughter said it was cheap at the price. But I was horri- fied ... a dollarâ€" for that Httle bit of a thing! It bothered me so much that I promptly sat down, took a pattern ofi the ready-made blouse, and made two more from old broad- cloth shirts I had around. I was appalled to think of what young mothers who can't sew must spend on children's clothes. But thank goodness some oT them know how to use a needle and thread. I had a letter from one reader-mother and what she does in the way of sewing and knitting, for her own family, and for sale, is amazing. Seems to me it would be worthwhile for any young wife and mother to learn enough about sewing to that she could at least make clothes for her pre-school-age children. .\nd speaking of letters ... I often wish my correspondents would add a pen-name to their own so that letters could sometimes be answer- ed in this column. My fan mail is often so good and so interesting I sotiietimes feel I would hke to share it. But of course, unless a letter is sent to me with that understanding, I respect the writer's confidence and do not refer to it in any way tliat will bring recognition to the sender So friends, how about it? Do yor think you would care to add a pen nniiie next time you write? Smelling Colors Can you smeU different colours? Two scientists say that cockroaches can â€" and perhaps human being, too. They believe that colours affect the sense of smell through a sudden 'loss of heat in the smell organ. At an experiment scientists used a board with alternative squares of lampblack â€" which has no odour â€" and unpainted aluminum. Cock- roaches in a cage were placed over the board and the lights turned out. When the test was over all the cockroaches were found to be di- rectly over the black squares.

The Oppenheimer brothers were interviewing applicants for the job of private secretary. One .^mazo- ii"!an creature had excellent ref- erences, but the brotliers did not enthuse after she waddled out. "I don't think she'll do." said one. "There's too much of her in the first place." His brother added, "That goes for the second place, too!" By Request Bernard Shaw was eating his usual meatless dinner with a learned conirere when the restaurant's or- chestra struck up a particularly noisy piece. When, after rhe briefest of intermissions, it launched into an even noisier one, Shaw summoned the headwaiter. "Does this orchestra, play anything on request?" he ask- ed. "Oh, yes, sir," said the head- waiter. "Excellent," snapped Shaw. "Kindly tell them to play dominoes."

Tomailoeg are plentiful â€" in our district at least, and I hope in yours â€" and as far ae my immedi- ite family is concerned, recipes about "fancy" ways to serve them •re just a waste of time. That is to say tiiey eat them before meals, after meals, and with meals, just as they come from tlie vineâ€" raw, raw, raw. (I do try and make them wash the tomatoes first.) However, there are others â€" like myself â€" who sometimes like our tomatoes dressed up a bit. And it's to them I'm passing on this recipe for a very hearty, and tasty, lun- cheon or supper dish. BROILED TOMATOES ON CORN CUSTARD 3 cups com, (canned or fresh cooked) 3 tablespoons °fat 3 tablespoons flour XYi cups milk IVa, teaspoons salt % teaspoon pepper 1^ tablespoons chopped pepper (green or red) 4 eggs, slightly beaten Method: Combine all the above, then turn into greased individual molds, pl.iced in a pan of hot water. Bake until set, (about 30 minutes at J25 degrees). Then top your corn custards with tomato slices made as follows: Dip 6 tomato slices in one egg, slightly beaten; then into 1 cup cracker crumb.s. T!icn broil the slices in a pan with 3 or 4 tablespoons butter or shortening. A friend of mine adds a "finishing touch" by garnishing with diced, crisp bacon â€" but they're grand eating even without that. * * * Names are funny things; and when a friend out in the far west sent me this next recipe, I couldn't help wondering why it was so titled. But after I'd tried it, I understood. The "Oh's" and "Ah's" represent the appreciative sighs you're liable to hear, after folks taste the first piece â€" and pass back their plates for a second. It's: MOTHER'S OH'S AND AH'g CHOCOLATE CAKE 3 egg yolks 1 cup sour cream 15'2 cups sugar 2 ounces chocolate 5^4 cup hot water 1 teaspoon vanilla 13'4 cups fiour 54 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon soda Method: Beat egg yolks and so\ir cream together.
