Males Are | All Alike Whether Birds or Humans They Strut. A comparison of the courtship of various species of birds discloses the fact that though the technique dif- fers somewhat, the end result is the same: The male does his best to im- press the female with his beauty and importance. There's a reason for the strutting, however. The males, almost without exception, have feathers of gaudy colours, while the females are usually of drab hue. Ruffed grouse, for example, breed late in winter or early in spring. The male usually places himself on an old tree trunk and proceeds to make a noise resembling that of an old-fash- ioned engine being started in the dis- tance. This sound is called "drum- ming" and was thought to have been produced by the wings beating on the pictures, however, show that the bird makes the sound by fanning the air. The Canada spruce grouse and the ring-necked pheasant are definitely strutters. The grouse struts about with his red eye partly distended, the breast feathers fluffed, the wings low- ered, and the tail spread and raised. He, too, resorts to drumming, but the sound is more subdued than that made by the ruffed grouse and it is (Continued on page 8) gal YOUR HYDRO SHOP 25 - 40 and 60 watt 5for $1.00 Telephone 460 for a carton of 6 SLENDERIZER Pattern 8774--Unless you're willing to look considerably slimmer than the scales say that you are, you'd better not send for this design (No. 8774) be- cause it has a positively marvelous ability to melt the pounds from your appearance. The bodice is just slightly tucked and gathered, to ensure comfortable fit over the bust, and yet not add a single bit of bulkiness or fullness. The skirt has a lengthening front from width, and the waistline is made particularly small and smooth by side belts, fastened in the back, that draw it in to exactly the slimness you want, Casual in effect, yet sufficiently soft so that you can wear it for in- formal afternoons, this is an excep- tionally useful type.

Mr. H. was a prominent member of the Masons. At the breakfast table the other morning he was relating to his wife an incident that occurred at the lodge the previous night. The president offered a silk hat to the brother who could stand up and truthfully say that during his married life he had never kissed any woman but his own wife. "And, would you believe it, Mary? --not a one stood up." "Walter," said his wife, 'why didn't you stand up?" ; "Well," he replied, "I was going to, New Strong Man LOS ANGELES, Cal. ... ugh on phone books is Wallace Key Gough, aged 34 months, who does things like tearing this telephone book to keep in shape as successor to his father's former trade of pro~ fessional strong man. SPORTS (Continued from Page 1) with three goals each. Bruce Burdett got two for the homesters. * * * % Last Saturday night's game in Lon- don, between the Kist Canadians and the R.C.A.F. Airmen was an unusual contest. It was more than thirty minutes late in starting, because of fog in the London rink, and water on the ice. When the game finally got under way, the boys of both teams were hampered by the water and slush. * * of Ken Robertson, brother of Earl Robertson of the New York Ameri- cans, who played goal for the Airmen, turned in a fine exhibition of goal- minding. Not a shot got past him all evening. Although he made some sensational saves, it still is true that the Kist Canadians missed a number of fine opportunities, because of poor shooting. } ee Same Nick Libett of the locals was the only casualty. He received a cut over the eye, which required two stitches. The injury was inflicted by the puck, which had been golfed by a St. Thomas player. The incident was quite accidental, and the game was clean throughout. . * * In the Industrial Hockey League, the highlight of Jast week's program was the initial victory of the season for the Whyte Packers. When the boys from the packing plant really got going, they ran up a total of eight goals against Avalons. Imperial Rat- tan maintained its unbeaten pace. The loss of several players who are members of the H. L. I. did not weak- en the Rattan team greatly, due to the fact that Manager Bob Dellow was able to get several members of the O. H. A. junior team as replace- ments. Ladies---Have You Tried Ever - Kleen The All-Purpose High-Fest Bleach Price, 10c, 3 for 25c B.
