Tourists are taking to=the high- way, the rails and the deck chair again. © The road map season came in with June, and unless all signs fail, the provinces are in for their biggest job of hospitality in years. Inquiries at tourist offices in the .various provinces are up an hverage of about 25 per cent, over this date last year. Indications are that legal "liquor in the United States w.lI have little effect on the friendly invasion of Americans, The lure of the high- way is stronger than the highball. Nova Scotia was first to report an increase in requests for information, Says A. J. Campbell, director of the department at Halifax: "Outlook for the 1934 tourist trade has improved during the past few weeks: indivi- dual inquiries are pouring in on this bureau." a Increased advertising is given as the reason for a rise in prospective visitors to Ontario. At least «s many inquiries from the United States as in other years are coming in to the office of C. C. Hele, director of tourists for the province.

Une day he feels an urge to visit the countryside around hls eld home and mecetors up there one Spring day. He comes upun an old Tudor House and decldes he'd like to buy it. Suddenly he hears a cry--he sprints across a fleld and rescues Daphne den, who was menaced by a tramp. Michael stays a week at the village negotiates for the Tudor House and learns the owner's object to selling It as Michael Is In "trade." "Well -- and why not?" he asked stubbornly. "One drifts easily into that sort of thing in the country." Reaching his lawyers, however, he discovered there was a hitch in the negotiations. The Hammill-Hardys had been at the Manor since the days of the Tudors, Apparently the first one to live there was a ward of the Crown, who actually had bogs brought up with Henry VIII, d with whom he remained a favourite. "Don't sce that's much to his cre- dit," quoted Borde. "Well, what's wrong?" . The. lean-faced solicitor hesitated. "He seems to have some objection Mr. Borde, because you are in trade," he said. There was silence, On the wall op- posite hung a couple of Speed maps, Michael Borde gazed at these stead- ily, and clenched' his hands. old maps, eh? Funny thing for a law- yer to collect. Then his eyes went to the table, where a sketch map of Warwickshire lay. It showed the location of Werberge Lucy and sur- rounding land, marked pink. In one corner was the sign of a bear with a ragged staff, in the other the armorial bearings of the house of Warwick. It was the heraldic de- vice reminded Michael Borde of the honor which had been offered him. He frowned. 'Trade be blowed!" he cried. Gosh in these days......" he paused and laughed. "Mean to say he won't lease or sell to me because I've made my money out of motor cars?" . : "The solicitor put the tips of his fin- gers together. "You must remember the Hamiil- Hardys have held that land since the reign of King John indeed, they boast it came into their possession at the CANNING COMPOUND For canning fruits, vegetables and meat safely and economically, Free Sample sent on request.

"Mean that he'll sell only to a man with a pedigree like his own. Why I...." he stopped short laughed and flung back his head. 'What rot. Poor as a church mouse too." "Precisely," said the other. "Bat there it is. If you could see him per- sonally, Mr. Borde, you might be able to persuade him to look at things d:i- ferently. He's an extraordinary man. Not like the rest of the family, 1 be lieve. Do you care to try?" "Right you are," rejoined Bord " suppose he's there?" . "Oh, yes. By the way, you and he might have something in commen, I remember you telling me about org- an music. You'll find him a crank ov- er Bach and the organ." Michael Borde's eyes lit up. "Indeed," he said, but that was all. On the way back to Warwickshire, he remembered that great orgaa in the Minstrel's Gallery and his eyes softened. "What a background. The right sort of place for a wife and children too, ran his thoughts. The face of Daphne Eden haunted him all through that drive, and so persistent was this that after his meal Michael Borde decided to walk round to the farm, and talk with Mrs. Gregory and lay before her his pro- position. . He was going to buy the old Manor House. That was settled. The Hamiil- Hardys would be forced to sell sonn- er or later, that much he knew now. He was going to marry settle down and found a family with a right back ground and in all his life no woman ever had made any appeal to him un- til now. What was the use of hesitating? A man knew what he wanted. "Gosh! I'm falling in love," was his summing-up. But he smiled, It was a pleasurable sensation, He told Mrs. Gregory thal evening. "Think she'll have me?" he asked, Her dark eyes twinkled, "Well you can only ask her," she said. * hear you are motoring to Stra- tford-on-Avon to-morrow. A fire chance for you. Don't be too hesitant" she added. "Sweep her off her feel. Girls like Daphne Eden would rain- er have the sort of man who can treat Almost every day someone asks me the question: "How fast is it safe to drive on the highway?" I used to re- fer such. questioners to. the toad signs, but I soon learned' that there are times when 20 miles an hour is too fast. At other times: the full speed limit is safe, It depends on the weather, traffic conditions, road con- ditions, and the general make-up of the driver, and the condilion of his car. I ~Just between the two of us, ex- Petjence tells me that, directly and ndirectly, slow drivers cause more trouble than speedsters, They dwad- dle along at the head of a procession, at a speed of 16 miles or go an hour. A PAGE FROM by P.C.2 Some of those behind them natural. ly become impatient and do all sorts of foolish things in trying to pas, Of course, that means trouble,. ts of times I have asked slow ones to step on it. Most of them resented the suggestion. They don't realize that a man driving at 20 in heavy traffic is as much a violator of the rules ag the chap who goes 60, Safe speed, then, is a malter of driving judgment. The wise driver seems to know subconsciously how fast to drive under various conditions, And, after all, every driving law and rule is based on common sense. and good judgment. J : Well, I'll be seeing you, oR re 'em rough. Take my advice young man and don't let there be too much bended knee business." I'VE ONLY ENOWN HER A WEBK Michael Borde smiled. He liked be- ing addressed as 'young man," by this gray-haired woman, Instinctively he straightened himself. After all he was only forty-one. ' "There's one thing makes me hes. itate," 'he said. "I've known her only a week, Now stop, as she wus about to speak. "That don'tweighwithme for I always know what 1 want when I see it.

"Mrs. Gregory looekd him squarely in the eyes, "I wish you luck," she said. "Thanks, he rejoined. Somehow I think 1 am going to be lucky, Mra, Gregory," He was, . 'To his surprise Michael Borde dis: covered that although for ten yeais Daphne Eden had lived comparative- ly near to the land of Shakespears, she knew little indeed of the town, so with the cocksure eagerness of a schoolboy whose superior knowledge overrides everything, he sarted to show her around, beginning with the house of Shakespeare, y In the upper room bending over the glass cases with the folios and relics his hand came in contact with that of hers. Here was the ring of Shakespeare his initials entwined on the setting. Through Michael Borde's mind, there darted a strange thought, ln years to come he could say to:his sons, 'I proposed to your mother in Shakespeare's house, His hands closed over hers. "Daphne," he said, "there's someth- ing I want to ask you, my dear--" She looked up, just then a crowi of visitors poured in, laughing ani chattering as they climbed the staiss the sing-song. voice of the guide saws ing the air. "Oh, damn," he muttered. That was check number one, but he saw Daphne was blushing, and touk it as a hopeful sign. "Let's get outside," he said. "Can't hear yourself speak with all these Yanks. There's a garden there, you'll like that, where all the flowers that Shakespeare mentions in his plays tare planted." : ; So beside one of those plots with neatly labelled herbs and green row- ing things, Michael Borde did his wooing.' 'I've always laughed at the idca of love at firstisight, Daphne," he said. "It's always seemed to me tosh the novelists hand out, but I know row that it is true. I fell in love. with you a week ago, and I've waited a weck to make sure. Now I can't wait any longer, Will you marry me, Daphne? I--" there for the first time he hes- itated, "I think _.I. could make you happy, my dear." Daphne Eden put her hands in his, "I am sure you can," she said sim- ply. So was Michael Borde's courtship accomplished. He smiled contentedly. "That's O.K. then," he said. "We will move on. I'm going to see about Werburge Lucy to-morrow..-:,.yes, my dear," as he saw the startled as- tonishment in her eyes, "that is real- ly why I'm down here, you know. It was luck meeting you, but for all that I must have met you sooner or later for I set my heart on the house dir- ectly I saw it again...." The clattering crowd of Yankee tourists poured out of the low door- way breaking into ecstatic shrieks of admiration oer the much-labelled gar- den, Michael Borde thrust his arm through hers. 'Let's get away, Daphne," he said. I'd forgotten these highbrows swarm everywhere nowadays. Still," and he smiled "I'm glad we've settled our lit- tle bit of business here--among the flowers."

She has lived within ten miles of the Arctic Circle and she has accum- panied her husband, a sergeant in the Royal Canadian Police, on many perilous adventures, including man- hunts, Mrs, Mary Tidd--that is her name --has been spending a holiday with her relatives in England, Her husband, a Norfolk man and formerly a school teadher, has Leen stationed in the Yukon Territory for nearly twenty years. Over. the, last hundred miles or so of her journey to rejoin him Mrs, Tidd will go on a dog-drawn toboggan. But this will be no novelty for her. She has on many occasions set cnt with her husband on a 300-mile oboggan "trip," pitched camp on the frozen snow, cooked a meal and set- tled for the night with the weather fifty below zero, and with baars, caribou and other dangerous animals of the Northland prowling acbut, Through the Blizzard Mrs, Tidd has lived in parts where no white woman has lived before. The native first looked upon her in wonderment. "My husband never knows when he will be called out, where he will have to go, or on what errand," sha said. i "I accompany him on all calls that are any distance away, even if it means chasing a dangerous criminal or a mad trapper. The 'old-timers' (the trappers) through years of lone- liness in the wilds often become un- balanced . "I travel on a_toboggan drawn: by three dogs, and my husband in an- other drawn by four dogs. We carry dur tent, our bed, a stove, food and utensils strapped to the toboggan. I have travelled many hundreds of miles in this way, often. through blinding blizzards." His Big "Capture" The meeting of Mrs. Tidd ani her husband is a romance, Sergeant Tidd was at Dawson City when suddenly "out of the blue" came a young and pretty woman. She was travelling to Fort Yukon, Alaska, to take up a post as nurse at a mission, "The tall policeman in his smart uni- form attracted her eye. She had al- ready attracted. his. She stayed one night in Dawson and they danced to- gether, and then she passed on to her work with the natives and Eskimos. A year later he followed her and made the "capture" of his life, They married, and he took her to his log cabin, which for nearly three-parts of the year was snow covered, Mrs. Tidd made a difference to that shack. She draped it with pretty curtains, But her great achievement was securing a piano. And thers, in the snow waste, hundreds of m.les from anywhere, she would play. to her husband. . 2 Two or three years ago they were able to fix up a radio and hear what was going on in the outside world. Coral Reef Is Found in Lake Deposit Near Chicago Indi- All Once Was Salt Water Chicago--Discovery of a large coral reef in Lake Michigan, only two miles of Progress, is interpreted by scientists as definite proof that the entire lake at one time was a vast salt water basin and that a tropical clmiate ruled the region, The reef was found by geo- logical students, The coral was located 'n water six to eight feet deep and the exposed sector was several feet long. Professor James M, Glasgod, head of a department of geology, said that "coral is undoubtedly proof that this was tropics at ona time, and this en- re region. was probably a vast sea 'of salt water, : "These. coral specimens may easily , be 400,000 years old, covered by sand or other deposits, and perhaps only | recently exposed by the washing of the water" Fok « Doctor Criticizes Vegetarianism Says Animal 'Proteins are Essential for Building Up New Tissues -- Fats Good Heat Yielders and Nerve F oods June is a logical month for partiss for "the younger members of the family and 'many mothers will be called upon to help entertain and feed groups varying in size from a few "best friends" to the entire class. Nor it the problem any less simple because of the age of the guests, since young people are as exacting as their elders that everything be cor- rect, from decorations and favors to food itself, This required careful ani thorough planning. For the party which is to be fol- lowed by dancing or cards, the din- ner should be at least semi-formal, with cocktails (tomato juice fruit or fish), soup, a main course of meat. potato, one other vegetable at leas. a light salad and a dessert. If the party is large, small tables for four or six are nice, and. the dinner may be more readily served in this fash- ion. Flowers and candles in class colors form an attractive centerpiece. The class color idea may be further carried out by using nut cups which harmonize. A survey of any favor counter: Will yield 'many interesting suggestions for these occasions. A very popular meat wilh most young people is fowl. If it'is to be served creamed or a la king, it is more economical to buy small tur. keys than large chickens, as there is more meat on them per unit. Fancy jellied "salads are always acceptable for a summertime menu, and ice cream with its accompany'ng sauce of crushed fruit, or caramel or choco- late, is an almost universal faverite, THE INFORMAL PARTY An outdoor picnic in the woodr ct at the beach is always popular. To hold one of these successfully, games or entertainment, as well as lunch, should be planned and arranged for. For younger children, races, ball games, even a croquet set, adds much to the enjoyment. For those of high school age, a portable phonograph is almost indispensible, The food for these informal af- fairs is best packed' in individua: boxes or bas®ets, each to contain the same assortment. Beverages, such as lemonade, fruit punch or coffee, may bé carried in thermos jugs, in which they will keep hot or cold for hours. An outdoor party, served on the home lawn, in a very simple way ot entertaining, In this- case, a plate lunch, served. on card tables, is per. haps,; the easiest method of serving Paper plates and cups, paper cloths and napkins, ard even paper knives, forks and spoons are available, and complete a. really "partifiad" table, A meal like this served just before dusk, with Japanese lanterns for il- lumination, as the darkness comes on, has a special fascination for young folks, Perhaps the radio. or gramophone may be carried to the porch, then dancing, will certainly. be in ordar, and no further plans will be neces sary for the entertainment of your guests, A large bowl of punch, how- ever, is always an asset to a thirsty evening of dancing, FOR BOYS--YOUNG AND OLD The idea of a stag affair seems to bud in the masculine breast at a very early age. So if you are planning something of this sort, let it be strictly Stag. : A buffet supper is the best.servic: for this type of party. Plenty of coid cuts, attractively arranged and garn- ished, cheese of many varieties, erack- ers to accompany them, a well season- ed bowl of potato salad, hard cooked eggs (these are nicer devilled), plenty of buttered bread or rolls, and a plentiful supply of coffee ov chocolate, or a cold beverage, Individual tarls are a favorite dessert for this type of party. The dining room for a 'hiffet ser- vice with all necessary plates, cups, and silverware on it. Dishes of 3alted nuts and candies my be set either on the table or the buffet, The main thing it that there be no "feminine interference, when the tins 'comes for the host to serve his meg culine friends. Everything must "e arranged and left in full view, and the tactful mother and sisters dis/ appear. FOR THE YOUNGER BOYS The younger boys like their mas- culine parties also. With mother's help before hand, it is quite surpris- ing and also very satisfying to see just what can be done. ] Mother will plan a menu and see that all supplies are available, then leave details and the carrying out of these to her small son and his guests, And certainly from their point of view the party will be a glorious suc- cess, Keep the menu very simple, scrambled eggs, bacon, spaghetti, with cheese and tomato sauce, cold meat sandwiches-- these are but a few. suggestions. Following are a few simple menus that require a minimum of prepara: tion: MENU 1 Baked Spaghetti or Macaroni Devilled ham and lettuce sandwiches Banana gelatin dessert made \ ahead of time Cookies or iced cupcakes Milk or Cocoa MENU 2 Baked Beans and Bacon Brown bread and lettuce sandwiches Strawberry shortcake (biscuit made ahead of time) ' Milk, MENU 8 .
