During summer the business woman housekeeper makes good use of salad platters for the quick meal. She may precede these with a hot soup if she likes. In selecting the combinations for the salad platter which is to serve as a whole course, one hearty leader should be chosen first. Cold meat or fish dressed with mayonnaise, may be the central note. Instead of this, eggs, boiled and stuffed, avocados halved and stuffed with a hearty salad may be used. The central note may, instead, be sardines or anchovies, smoked salâ€" mon or cold ham, cottage or cream cheese. Nothing is more attractive for a salad platter than a ring of aspic, tomato or cheese jelly which, however, must be planned and prepared ahead. A few moments the night before or in the morning will suffice for its mixing. The refrigerator will do the best. Indiviâ€" dual molds or stuffed eggs, surrounded with jelly, are both delicious to the taste and attractive to the eye. Special Potato Salad 4 cups cold boiled potatoes, diced. 1 cup pesans, broken in small pieces 1 chopped onion A potato, a macaroni or a rice salad with which French dressing is used will add a satisfying note. The addiâ€" tion of minced onion, green pepper or pimiento to any of these will provide flavour and also add to the appeéarâ€" ance. Sliced cucumbers with sour cream dressing add a note of crispness to a salad plate, as do lettuce, romaine and other greens, which will, of course, be used.

She was let off with a fine of $20 and costs, which her husbhand was ready to pay. He was $2.50 short of the full amount necessary (the total being $42.50. while he had only $40.00). The police chief, however, had accepted the $40.00, knowing no doubt that Mr. Tymâ€" chuk would bring him the other $2.50 all right. At this stage, however, Mrs. Tymchuk asserted herself. Then Tymâ€" chuk had a brief conference with his lawyer, the latter asking for the return ¢f the money as his wife preferred goâ€" ing to jail rather than paying out $42.50. The money was handed back and Mrs. Tymchuk is now all set to spend the next two months in jail.

Barney‘s mouth opens wider and wider. It‘s Old Man River as Paul Robinson never sang it. IT‘ll never forget it. And, mind you, Barney does all this singing despite the fact that he had his tonâ€" sils out just a few days ago." "Come on, Barney," I plead, "Old Man River.‘" Mrs. Draper says it‘s no good. The General has taught Barney how to sing, and he won‘t do it for any one else. I try again and again. Suddenly, Barney lets out deepâ€" throated rumble. Mrs. Draper and I look at each other wideâ€"eyved. "That", says Mrs. Draper, in great amazement, "is the start of Old Man River." Bazney refuses to sing Old Man River.

The suiâ€" cide left a note declaring, among other things, he was homeless, alone in the world, that no one cared for him. After his body was placed in the morgue awaiting burial, three women turned up to claim it. Social reforms were long overdue, asâ€" serted Mr. Smith. Time must be taken, however, to map out a course "before some of our moreâ€"important reformers endanger our aggregate security on the shoals of illâ€"conceived legislation." ; "It does not prove the institution inâ€" vulnerable against manâ€"made laws, however. There are only 100 cents in every dollars. Life insurance companies are not magicians," Mr. Smith declared. Although still unthinkable in Great Britain and the United States, debt reduzction acts such as that of Alberta were "unhappily all too familiar to Canadians," he said. Contracts were atill the basis of economic order and must be altered only by mutual agreeâ€" ment, he urged. "The companies have demonstrated the inherent soundness of life insurance saving, through gocd times and bad, through war and pestilence, and more recently, through waves of subversive legislation in parts of Canada involving repudiation of contractual obligations, both public and private, such as no man could ever have envisioned in a British democracy. Life insurance can surâ€" vive any crisis brought about by operaâ€" tion of natural, social and economic law, he assured. entire sum expended on direst relief, Attacking debtâ€"reducing legislation which gave protection of law to debtors with ample resources but unwilling to pay, quite regardless of their ability to do so, Mr. Smith feared that legislative encouragement to debtors cannot hbe pushed past a certain point without enâ€" dangering the position of the insurance ccompanies, which were, after all, only middlemen for the millions of small poalicyholders. He offered governments the service and experienct of private life insurance companies in mapping contributory plans for insurance against dependant cld age. While Canada still had a railway problem and budgets remained unbalanced, governments here "could not stand the enitire strain of the social reforms required," he asserted. Sucâ€" cess of social insurance programmes in England had been due to this type o1 oâ€"cperation, the president reminded. Mr. Smith criticized some municipal pension schemes as being open to seriâ€" cus cbhjection from an actuarial standâ€" point. Civic pension schemes were in the realm of private insurancte, he conâ€" tended. Illustrating the stabilizing effect of insurance, Mr. Smith pointed out that more than a billion dollars was paid to Canadian policyholders in the six years cf the depressionâ€"more than twice the entire sum expended on direst relief, Attacking debtâ€"reducing legislation which gave protection of law to debtors with ample resources but unwilling to nav. auite regardless of their ability to Governments should encsourage, not discourage thrift, he stated. In Great Britain, thrift was engsouraged by exâ€" empting from income taxation sums paid out in life insurance premiums up to oneâ€"sixth of their income, said Mr. Smith. He urged elimination of inâ€" come tax on the principal of policies paid by instalments and objected to taxing the contribution of employee or employer to company pension funds. In Canada, legislation had been passed which would never have been effected "if the public realized the true position of insurance in this country‘s social and ecsnomic life," Mr. Smith contended. The president saw encouragement in recent action byâ€"Quebec and Ontario. Ontario‘s amendment to the Successiva Duty Tax Act to exempt small annuiâ€" ties and income settlements was a farâ€" sighted policy, said Mr. Smith. It was encouraging, he said, to know that Quebec had seen the desirability of effecting reform in provincial and municipal taxation, a lead he hoped would be followed by other provinces. Pointing out that provincial taxation of life insurance premiums increased the cost to Canadian policyholders by $4,500,000 annually, Victor R. mith, Toronto, president of the Canadian Life Insurancte Officers‘ Association, last week termed the provincial tax "unjust, iniquitous, and a tax on thrift" in his presidential address before the annual conventicn at the Royal York hotel, Toâ€" ronteo. Mr. Smith warned that insurance companies may be forced to introduce separate premium scales for each proâ€" vince unless uniformity is reached in provincial taxation, which now ranges from one.to 3.3 per cent. He strangly urged governments to enâ€" courage thrift as a means of reducing future relief rolls. With this in mind, he suggested that insurance companies would likely consider bringing before the Quebec and federal commissions on taxation their problems, arising out of what he said was discriminatory taxaâ€" tion of insurance policyholders. ‘‘Some of those which will no doubt be stressed might be mentloned at this time; the iniquity of the provincial taxes on life insurance premiums, if sutch a subject is within szope of the commission‘s inquiry; also double and triple taxation arising out of the overâ€" lapping of provincial succesion duty staâ€" tutes," he said. "Representations calcutated to urge economy in governments in Canada, either by consolidating some of the serâ€" vices of the dominion and the provinces or by reducing the number of services, or both, is another problem to which close study will be given." Distribution of legislative jurisdiction over insurance, as between dominion and the provinces, was wellâ€"balanced and should not be disturbed, he advised.
