Here's one to deal with the man who tells fish stories: He had long outstayed his welcome, At last the host said. Host -- "Tell me, how long was the fish you caught the other day?" Guest -- (holding his hands wide apart) -- "Oh, so long!" Host -- "Well, so long, if you recal- ly must be going." Passenger -- "Oh, Captain, what would happen if this ship hit an ice- berg?" Captain. -- "Madam, the iceberg would go on. }§s way just as if nothing had happened." Passenger -- "Oh, thank you, Cap- tain! 1 feel so relleved!" 1 He -- "Honey, would you love me just as much if I told you that 1 was broke?" She -- "You aren't, are you?" He = "No." She -- "Of course | would, darling." READ IT OR NOT! The average depth of the ocean be- low sea level is 12,640 feet. A young woman organist wanted to make a good impression on the visiting clergyman. The organ was occasionally gave up the job, or else failed to work vigorously enough, very much to the chagrin of the fair organ- ist. On this very special occasion she wrote a note intended for the sexton's eyes, only, in which she sald: "Ob- lige me this morning by blowing away till I give you the signal to stop. Miss Allen." Imagine her discomfort to see the sexton take it up the alsle and hand iti to the visiting clergyman for whom he thought it was intended!

Or--nmilder, but bad enough -- jumped under the probe of a den- tist as he "excavated" a tooth before putting in a filling? Consider, then, the case of "Boy," Munich Zoo elephant, who weighed more than five tons and was claimed to be.the biggest elephant in Eu- rope. In a fit of temper he charged a tree and broke off his tusks. The nerves were exposed, and his suffer- ings drove him frantic. They had to shoot him. Dr. Heck, director of the Zoo, did the job with a rifle. But he wasn't taking any chances. In casc the first shot failed and trouble followed, a machine-gun was in readiness, "Boy" was 26 ft. long from trunk to tail, stood 10 ft. 6 ins, high at the shoulders, and had a .girth mecasure- 'ment of 17% ft.

In Chicago it is possible to rent a dog by the day, week, or month. Many people do, in fact, reports Murs. Michael Von Motzek who, with her husband, runs the odd doy livery. It started when commercial photo- graphers began to use dos models for their pictures. The Von Motzeks decided to supply the demand. To their usual notice about their kennels in the classified telephone directory they added the line "dog models rented," and noted that Mr. Von Motzek had trained 50 airedales- for Orphan Annie of the radio. That was enough. Requests began to arrive. The business developed along un- suspected lines. A woman, lonely dur- fng her husband's absence from the city, hired a dog for company. An- other family engaged a watchdog to keep an eye on their baby. Small Ones Most Popular Another business man rented a Ger- man shepherd dog for a party. He wanted to show his friends liow well he could handle animals, he said. He returned it the next day. "What breeds are In the greatest "demand?" Mrs. Von Motzed was ashe. "It all depends upon the junpose for which a person wants a dog," she sald. "Russian "wvolfhounds are popu- lar for fashion shows, dobermans for the out-of-doors, and Great Danes are popular, too. Generally speaking, yco- ple that have small apartments want little dogs, while those with big how os prefer large ones." Misse! Ev T.5C3 ny [Xs ies!

This means, according to the experts, that all the lawns or repair work must be made well before the first of June. At tais time there is usually plenty of moist. ure and nights are cool. Success lies in the selection of the highest type of seed. There are all kinds of quali- ties offered, but the best blends for permanent results prove least expen- sive. In Canada there are laws govern: ing grass seed but these have been de- signed only to protect the fnexperienc- ed from getting a lot of weed sceds instead of grass. With new lawns, the spade work should be done as early as possible. The main thing is to get the ground level, After digging or plowing, the ground should be allowed to seitle for a few days at least, and then levelled again, If there is time, it is advisable to repeat this process geveral thnes, The top soil should then be raked fine and on a windless day the grass sown at a liberal rate, once across and then once lengthwise, This double sowing fnsures an even distribution. In cov- ering, the gardener is advised to rake one way only and then firm tho soil with a heavy roller or pounder. The tirst cutting of the grass [8s made when about three inches high and it should be done with a very sharp mower, Frequent golling when the ground is soft, regular mowings, and an annual application of good lawn fertilizer Is advisable, PERENNIALS Even with a very small garden, there is a big advantage in having a tow perennial flowers, With these there is something to build the rest of the garden around and there is less likely to be long blank periods when there is no bloom available. About a dozen different kinds will make a fair foundation. Here is a fair selection: Delphinium Hardy Chrysanthemum Phlox Iris Hollyhocks Oriental Poppies Lilltes Dianthus Trollius Peonfes Yucca Columbine SEED CATALOGUES . Seed catalogues put out by the Jarge firms contain much more than a mere mention of the many flowers and vegetables available in Canada. They specify important points such 3 time of planting, resistance or lack of re- sigtance to frost, height, color, season of blooming, whether scented, and alxo ting purposes. All of these points should be taken into consideration in planning a real garden, as only with such knowledge can a comprehensive and practical scheme be worked out. the suitability of the flower for cut.

In vegetables there have been even more improvements, Sclen- tists have carried out this work in two directions; first by the introduction of vegetables unfamiliar to most Cana- dians, and secondly and probably nore important by vast {improvement of those varieties that have been grown in this country for years. Improved "Varieties Of the vegetables new to most Can- adians there are several worth a trial fn any garden. One is cos lettuce, a new cone shaped headed sort 'hat stays fresh and sweet long after the - tLe leaf sorts have shriveled up. Then there are Biussels sprouts, broad beans, broccoli, sugar peas, Chinese cabbage, chives, endive, egg plant, leek and Swiss chard. Full descrip- tions will be found in any Can-dian seed catalogue, In regular vagetables there has been improvement all down the line, with the object of getting more flavor, succulence and longer season. Corn' is a typical example. At one time It was only possible to get one variety of bantam, Cobs are short and the sea- son limited. Now there are offered three or four different Bantam types,' some extra late. Cobs have' been lengthened, kernels made bigger. One can enjoy the finest Bantam corn for over a month instead of but a week or two as in the old days. Canaries Detect In Coal Mines--Safety First Class - Urged By Engineer Two canaries kept by Bill Cunliffe, safety first engineer of Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company's mines on the north side of Sydney harbor, play an important part in the protection of life underground. The two birds are taken into the collieries by the Captain of the Drae- cermen crew, and if there is gas pres- ent in the sections of the mine visit ed, they become unconscious. , Cunliffe has been safety first en- . . . . ~ hd . gincer in Princess and Ilorence mines? steady decrease in the number of" fatal and minor accidents in the two collieries over this period stands a3 a carried on. Should Learn First Principles luilt almost from nothing are two well-equipped first. aid stations, an equipped motor ambulance. has interested more than 200 employ- ees where the principles of safety first are taught. About 100 miners from Florence attend a similar class, "School children today are taught I'rench, Latin, algebra, geometry, physics and other matters,'"" says Cunliffe. "Yet they are not given an opportunity to learn the first prin- ciples of safety-first work--a work ery person in Nova Scotia will have to face sometime in the near future." Grass Sown In Form Of Sheet Is New Invertion For Lawns This Spring Grass lawns can now be sown in the form of sheets of-paper, like pa- pering a wall, as a result of an in- vention of Mr. V. Hartley, a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society, i says a story from London, Eng. in the Christian Science Monitor. The seed is supplied in 13 different mix- tures suitable for the various soils in which it is intended to sow, and is incorporated in sheets of soft white paper, which ecasily decom- poses. Held up to the light, the seeds can be seen in rows about three-eighths of an inch apart. Measure Three Feet By Two The ground to be sown is levelled and the surface covered with fine \ soil; the seed sheets measuring three fect by two feet are spread over it and kept moist, and under warm 'conditions. the seed. will germinate in from seven to ten days. Among the advantages claimed for this method of making a lawn are every seedling has sufficient space to develop its root and top growth; the depth of 'sowing is 'under control; maximum germination is ensured; and curved edges, round flower! beds from the seed sheets with. scissors, for the average trial.
