CROWS HATCH CHICKS We have heard of hens hatching ducklings and wondering what it is about, and of cats mothering . fox- es and young coons but J. F. Goert- zen, a visitor in the city from Stet- tler, Alta., rather startled us the o- ther day when he said he had had botter luck in getting crows to do the hatching of his chickens than he "got from the old Biddies themselves. He and some of his neighbors con- ceived the idea of making the much despised crow do something useful for a living. So they found some crows' nests put three or four hens eggs in cach and in due course ap- peared the baby chicks. It was necessary to remove the chicks from the nests early, how- ever as their instinct did not teach them to take food the way tic moth- er crows brought it to the nests. However, Mr. Goertzen said this presented no difficulty, and he says he is quite satisfied with ms crow incubators. -- Lethbridge Herald. ENGLAND'S "SAMSON" Johnny Munn is tne boy "Samson" Wokingham.

This was not because the people of Great Britain are so deeply con- cerned with horse-racing or with the result of the Derby. It was because the Derby was a national play festival, a symbol of the Englishman's appreciation of the value of playtime he takes off from business with an air of almost indifference.

It is not the only instance of the Romeo and Juliet motif in his- tory. It is well known that the Wellington and Napoleon families were united in marriage through the union 'of the Marquess of Well- esley with the sister of Elizabth Patterson (Jerome Bonaparte's first wife).

WAR IS PREVENTIBLE They are distilling death in the laboratories of all "civilized" coun- tries, and our own country is not behindhand. Today we are told that no expert can now produce a gas mask which is proof against certain kinds of attack. One group of chem- ists invents a new means of dealing death. An antidote is found; then, out of the devil's broth of research comes a new compound which ren- ders the defensive device futile. But such a disaster as modern war need not occur. It is not written in the stars. It can be prevented. It will be prevented if Governments seek peace with one-half the persis tence, the einergy, the skill they now devote to preparing for war. If the Governments will not move, the peoples they rule must compel them. --London Daily Herald. CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM Melt chocolate in double boiler.

Britain Will Build New Type Warship London--Great Britain's new bat- tle ships to be laid down in 1937 will be radically different from all fight- ing ships now afloat, according to Hector C. Bywater, writing in The Daily Telegraph. They will have guns of a new type, firing nearly twice as fast as the 15- inch guns now in service, and they will be armored and otherwise pro- tected on an entirely novel plan. It is said they will be capable of defy- ing any form of air attack. Except for unimportant areas, the upper and shelter. decks of the whole structure will be virtually bomb- proof, it is asserted . The positive anti-aircraft defense is to include at least eight, and probably twelve, quick-firing guns, besides numerous { multiple machine guns. of heavy cali- bre. . More than a dozen tentative de- signs have been drawn up embody- ing new features. The ships are to range from 22,000 to 35,000 tons, the size to be determined by .the naval treaty of 1935. While the Ad- miralty desires to standardize the future battleship at 22,000 tons, Brit- ain is prepared to follow if the other powers want 35,000-ton ships. As Italy is about to lay down two 35,- 000-tonners and France has two 26,- 500-ton vessels already' in hand, it is likely that the new British battle- ships will be about the size of the Rodney, 33,900 tons.

Reproduced here on the 57th anniversary of St. John's great fire, the four-column issue gives details of the conflagration that wiped out most of the city.

Avoid Sunburn After Drinking Alcohol Skin Specialist Warns Against Scanty Bathing Attire Don't get your sun-tan after con- suming buckwheat cakes or alcohol advises, Dr. Charles F. Pabst, the chief dermatologist of a Brooklyn ho- spital, warning against the perils of the sun's rays. Here are the rules Dr. Pabst lays down for vacationists. 'Don't go out in the sun after eat- ing a generous breakfast of buck- wheat cakes or drinking highballs. Science has- proved that such 'sub- stances as quinine, alcohol, buckwheat iron and iodine, when taken 'inter- nally, render an individual extreme: ly sensitive to the rays of the sun, "Beware of scanty attire. If one- half or more of the body surface is sunburned with the formation of blis- ters, serious illness and even death may 'result. Even a mild sunburn that causes only redness is extreme- iy dangerous if it affects the entire skin surface. "Don't sprinkle perfume or toilet water on the skin befsre exposure to sunlight. This may produce a severe inflammation of the skin called der- matitis." Dr. Pabst added that going bare- headed in the sun did not increase the growth of hair but usually caused the hair to become brittle and break off.

Thirty-three. periodicals, including "Ballyhoo" and "Broadway and Hollywood Movies," published in New York, have also come prohibition orders. Some of the books forbidden in under the free State are: Shaw's "Black Girl in Search of God," Wells' "Bulpington of Blup" and "Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind," Sinclair Lewis' "Ann Vickers," Joseph Hergesheimer's "The Party Press," Henr Barbusse's 'Inferno' and Sir Wm Arbuthnot Lane's "New Health for Everyman." A Drawback Under the terms of the Censorship Act, books and periodicals may be banned from the Free State for "in- cecent or obscene tendencies" or for advocating birth control which the act defines as "the artificial or un- natural prevention ¢f conception."

'Censorship is mostly confined to the lower priced books because a price more ' than $1.60 is regarded as pretty sufficient to keep the book out of general cir culation, Apart from Bernard Shaw George Moore, Irish authors Liam O'Flaherty, Sean O'Faolain, Con O'Leary and Austin Clarke have suffered by the censorship.
