Every Swedish home--from castles down to the humblest cottage, is, on midsummer's evening, lavishly de- corated with field flowers and fresh v [Price on extras, 3 1-4c; 111,850; 124,215; last last Tbranches of birch, oak, and beach.

Formerly, a midsummer-bride was chosen, and on this day was dressed in finest array and, in military order the youths went with her through some street to the dance place, which this time of the year was a thresh- ing shed, decorated beautifully with | flowers and green branches. Of folk lore of this day she writes: When the last tune of the music dies, and the last waltz is danced, some of the girls--they who have not yet made their silent c¢hoice among the boys, stroll away by themselves, just as their grandmothers and the grand- mother's grandmother have done be- fore them, to pick "in nine men's fields," or at a crossroad, nine differ- ent blossoms--and in perfect silence. The latter rule is most important, be- cause the flowers lose their magic if you talk, but hard it is to obey, when you are young and your mind so full--a night like this. Then these flowers go beneath the pillows. In some provinces yet prevails another old custom. Alone, the girl goes out to a ryefield, chooses three heads which grow side by side, cut- ting them so they are the same length. Then she ties a green thread round one head, a red on another, and on the third a black one. The following morning she goes back to the ryefield to find out what has happened to the marked | heads of grain, because it means a lot to her, as you will hear. If the green has grown taller than the other, it means much love for her and marriage before the year is gone; if the red one, joy, and if the black one, sorrow. Midsummer day, an old belief says is most unlucky "for picking" even as little as a green straw, because sickness follows such a bold action and another says on the same day | (the only one during the year) the peony is poisonous to smell, It has been ten years since prohi- bition was adopted by Uncle Sam. And you've scen the way adopted children are treated. --Sav- annah News, some ER ------ JURY & LOVELL'S OPTICAL PARLORS J. W. Worrall, Oph. D.

SOCIAL WORK AS A PROFESSION Not Eough Trained Workers in Social Work to Meet Requirements; Salaries Being Raised Toronto, Ont., July 23.--(By the Canadian Press)--Social work as a profession is dealt with in a bulle- tin issued by the University of To- ronto. It has been impossible here: tofore to meet the demand; thirty requests were received for trained workers last year and the supply was not adequate. The standard of salaries is fast being raised, as the necessity for such action is being independent agencies. The operations of the social work- er are often experimental and diffi- cult, but always interesting. The worker of to-day analyzes conditions, suggests new treatments after diag- nosing the causes of failure and diffi- culty. Thus she needs all the knowl- edge she can acquire of social action and reaction, fact and causation, tested methods of treatment and or- ganization. This requires mature minds and well-educated women and men. The course now available has been espe- cially adapted to the requirements of graduates. The bulletin goes on to say that "Part of the curriculum will consist of basic courses in social philosophy and ethics, social econo- development and history. Part will be specialized and practical with op- tions in a number of fields; part will be devoted to social research and en- quiry into actual conditions. All the work will be under the supervision of the special staff of the department which guide the students indivi- dually." pid Oshawa, Corbett Motor Sales, Bowmanville, Ont. Roy W.
