The vase -- worked in dark blue onyx glass with carvings of mythological - scenes in opaque white glass--was smashed in 1845 by-a person men- "tally deranged. Restorers who pieced ft together at the time had to use cement which matched neither the white nor the blue. glass. Therefore, the British Museum, which now has the vase that takes #s name from the Portland family, who used to own it, had the restora- tion work done all over again. This time new type adhesives were used and blue chips thought to have been "left out by the first restorer were incorporated into the work. The Sunday Times said that only a very close view will now show the. cracks in the lower section of the. vase, where the white carvings girdle its wider. part. Nearer the top, where the 10-inch-high vase tapers into a narrow neck, they have almost disappeared.

A PERT Only Wow Rubber Tester : Believed to be the only svoman in the rubber indus assigned to a vital rubber-testing job, Mrs. Edythe Shively, of . Akron, has been working for years as &.€ the themo-coupling of tires and other 'products while through the curing procesi\¢s and asthey are built by the actu 1 tire builder. . Bd : . Testing Vital Spots - She has to. test vital spots 'Jn tires, for instance, to determine th : wearability and the degree of cure. ® From her findings at the main plant, curing processes for, products made at all other Goodyear plants in the country are developed. She works on tires of all 'sizes from the small ones to the 'big oversized giant earth-mover tires. She also runs tests for fuel tanks, hose, hydraulic © press pads, ' belting, filing, floor mats, tubes, and a quantity of other rubber goods. Standing at her table in the plant she builds a maze of tiny wires ipto the prodact being tested, while it Js still under construction. Then with a specially built measuring de- vice which records electro-motive forces set up in a tire, she obtains valuable data for figuring the pro- per curing time and procedure, "What has happened to that watch - business that Smith was interested in?"

He pointed down ' 'the field to where a row of open vulged a couple. of tractors, a one- __way cultivator, a combine and other kindred farm :machines. : The salesman was dumbfounde Taking off his 'bat to scratch his head, he exdldimed incredulously: "Well, what .are. you using this bull for?" handles and said: "I jest want to impress. upon this critter that there's other rthings in life be- sides romance!"

Probably they "would have been finished except for being hindered first by rain "and then a breakdown with the tractor. I shall be 'glad when they are through--all these ru-h jobs sort -of keep everyone on edgé. Lost time during seeding--even half a day--can make a lot of dif- ference to the growth and harves- ting of a crop. Yesterday 1 went to Toronto-- enough to see a friend in hospital and back again. It was my first trip this year. As usual I wondered how any one could live in the city. But I also came to the conclusion that it would be awful to live in the country and work i the city--if it meant driving in everyday as so many do.

Yes, there 1s plenty of on- portunity to see thrills and spiils on a one-hour drive along our high- ways. } And yet, just the day beiore, we had been-out looking at a car with the idea oi making a purchase. As it happened the man wiio wanted to sell the car was away but came home while we were waiting. He came along the road driving at seventy or seventy five mph. -- with the "rad" boiling like a tea- kettle. Needless to. sav we didn't want that car! But I guess we shall have to get one oi some kind-- a 1040 is about as much as our budget budget will stand--but not off the used ear lot if we can help it. Any offers? Our little hali-ton pick-up is the hand'est thing to have around on the farm, but it is a Jong way from being a pleasure car. [ast week 1 ¢ven had to take it out once in the back! That is becanse Bob uses the pick-up as a_ portable re- fuelling station for. his tractor. Part- ner gets annoyed ii he sees me go out with the tree" loaded--bhut it doesn't worry me at all--just so long as I don't have anything oily in the cab with me. At that I would draw the line, Otherwise 1 don't mind--1 never have heen over-burdened- with false pride. _ On our way home from Toronto we came through one of those new housing surveys wher a friend of ours is waiting for his new home to be completed. I suppose mo:t of the houses that we saw were around nine or ten thousand dollars and « as we looked them over [ wond red how many of them would still be standing by the time they were paid for! Of course, they gvill have all the latest, builtsin st®am-lined conveniences which is what attracts people today--and one couldn't ask for anything nicer--if they are built to last. 1 wonder ... For my part I would sooner have an older house in a more settled area and fix it up to suit myself. But it is a good thing we are not all alike or there would be little expansion or pro- gress in this world. Speaking of houses reminds me ofthe modern way of moving which I heard about only recently. Neigh- bours of ours are moving down to Montreal. I imagined them having an awful time packing and crating, ready for the job. To my surprise I learnt that the movers do it: all and unless they do the packing themselves they will not accept responsibility for loss' or breakage in transit. It seemed so strange to go ito a house, knowing the people "were moving out and see everything still in: place, except the curtains! ELECTRIC RAZOR.

"Build- A-Plan," model home kit, enables Te NBA SUHOUL or twice with a barrel of fuel oil - S2 LLESYON a fig By Rev. R. Baiclay Warren WATCHING AND PRAYING IN GETHSEMANE ® Mark 14:32-42 . Goldea Text:--Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38. "Gethsemane" will always be re- membered as the place of great agony of Jesus. Here bore upon Him the full realization of His mission. It was not the prospect of death that brought the bloody swe. t to His brow, but the bearing of ti. sins"of men. In this hour when He craved and needed human sympathy most, his disciples fell asleep. He asked them to watch and pray, but three times He re- turned to find them sleeping. Said He, "The spirit "truly is ready, but the flesh is weak." | Jesus knew the truth of that sta.ement in His own experience. At fir t He prayed, "O, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt." Here was a human shrinking from the bitter cup. 'I'he second time He prayed, "0, My Father, if this. cup may pot pass away from Me, except | drink it, Thy will be done." Here is exemplified the triumph of the i spirit over the flesh. At no time was there rebellion to God's will, but the flesh was weak. Later, angels minisiered unto Him, "When Jesus faced this great crisis, He prayed ecarnestly. He gained strength for- the trying hours of the morrow. Nf we would have poise and calm in life's strug- gles, we mult learn to pray until we have found strength in God. We cannot think of Gethsemane -without feeling a deep gratitude to Jesus Christ Who suffered so for us. He alone is our Saviour. "It was alone the Saviour prayed In dark Gethsemane. Alone He drained the bitter. cup And suffered there for me. Chorus: Alone, alone, le bore it all alone; He gave Himself to save His own, He suffered, bled, and died alone, alone" Bl I ES Quickly take the oh out of was ngs, insec STINGS & bites, pos Bl SCRATCHES with Dr. Chase's Ointment.
