sliced very thin by sixbits no matter how thin you slice it its still boloney why these corporations and individuals keep on bringing suit against the ontario government is more than we can fathom unless the lawyers are doing it for exercise- for the way mr hepburns govt acts reminds us very much of a boy who used to live in the village of our nativity by the way we have just heard that the citizens of that village have put up a tablet on the house in which we were born it reads main street anyway this boy was a lot bigger and huskier than the rest of us kds and bossed us around no little and when playing base ball or what we fondly thought was baseball he dearly loved to bat and hated to field so the way he ensured a permanent turn at bat was like this- whenever he was struck out or caught out or put out in any other wise he would promptly stop the game and change the rules making said change retroactive and if any of the rest of us would protest he would threaten us with a swell bust in the snoot if we remember he got away with these tactics for some consid erable time in fact till a new kid moved to town who turned out to be even tougher than he was after the fight which ensued our battingloving friend played the game strictly according to the old rules and took his turn in the field just like the rest of us after almost a hundred years they have changed the rules of the famous diamond sculls so that artizans as they phrase it are now allowed to mingle with and compete against gentlemen formerly only those who had never soiled their hands with vulgar toil were allowed to take part in this sculling classic which reminds us of the time when lou scholes went over to henley to compete in this event which he was good enough to win but when he got there the question arose as t6 his status whether as the son of a hotelproprietor we suppose they salu ovah theah pubkeeper he was fit to match oars against the oxford and cam bridge graduates who regularly won this event somebody told old john l scholes lous paternal parent about this trouble saying that the english authorities were in doubt as to whether lou was a workman or not said john l they can set their minds at ease because im willing to take my oath he never did a stroke of work in all his life just what one good and colorful performer can do to boost any sport and especially the sport of wrestling is shown dy the way business has perked up since the appearance of this new masked marvel or whatever they call him that masked stuff is very ancient in factit was tried and test ed around here till the public no longer took any interest but this present mysterious stranger seems to have what it takes in other words he can put on a show even without the aid of his disguise with the result that once more the folks are flocking to the shows wrestling modernly in toronto started with such performers as zbyszkos real wrestlers if ever there were any renato gardini and several others whose names for the moment escape us but it wasnt till ivan iiickailoff brought here that master show man the unforgottable and unforgotten stasiak that the crowds started to bulge out the sides of the auditoriums gus sonneberg kept up theg ood work and while probably neither he or stasiak from a standpoint of real skill belonged in the first ranks they had the color that makes the cash register jingle and when gus the goat lost his title and stasiak died wrestling hereabouts started to slip it is true that danno omahoney drew big crowds for a while but it got so that even some of his compatriots began to notice that dannos opponents werent playing for keeps against him the funny thing about it is that danno is a far better wrestler now than he was when he was flailing all and sundry with his irish whip but thats the way it goes anyway we are glad to see wrestling on the upgrade because we have had plenty of fun at wrestling bouts although we must con fess that we got far more pleasure sitting in the dressing room talk ing to the performers than we ever did at the ringside watching them squirm and listening to them grunt smiles and chuckles employer you havent told me

its away off by itself separated from the traditions of centuries which might have held it back and in the second place it has no federal organ ization such as there is in canada or tho united states to put a check on the authority of the central govern ments nor has it had the same hectic industrial development that this coon- tinent has had thus new zealand has the lowest death rate in the world

claimed the snow was so deep that he had to snowshoe through the city to school canada divorce laws too easy in canada divorce law is too easy not because of a multiplcity of grounds but because of evasion of the law since the establishment of divorce courts the number of divor ces has increased amazingly and one who follows divorce court pro ceedings closely cannot but notice the number of suits which go undefend ed the proceedings are purely forma and no matter how strongly collusion may be suspected hardly ever is an effort made to prove it exists and quite often the ink on the final decree is hardly dry before the divorced persons are married again if a time limit were set within which divorced persons might not marry it might cut dow the number of divorces it would do no harm either to make the marriage laws stricter a little publicity publication of names and addresses of applicants for mar riage licenses would cut off a lot of hasty illconsidered marriages which arc practically doomed from the start to end in the divorce court pre vention by making marriage not so easy would be better than cure by the divorce court the owen sound suntimes told no secrets when

bureau of the boy birth rates whatever causes underlie the figures much of this fall in birth rates can be easily accounted for the prevalence of unemployment and the general insecurity of life in re cent years has not only delayed mar riages but has reduced the size of families this may be a temporary phenomenon destined to disappear as economic conditions improve in some countries the rapid decline in birth rates is causing alarm but in canada it is assumed that the sag is temporary and that there will be an increase as the effects of economic recovery make themselves felt there has been a longterm down ward trend in birth rates for the past thirty or forty years but this has been more than offset by a de cline in death rates since 1930 however there is a further sag below the trend

of the canadian chemical association he blamed some cases of rickets goitre anaemia joint ills and steril ity from malnutrition to inclusion in diets of foodstuffs from mineral- lacking soils he said experiments showed that until soils are judiciously fertilized to build up mineral content especial ly phosphates produce grown on them will bo deficient in minerals and con sequentlynot for best

farming practice extent of variations in mineral content under various soil conditions sometimes reaches as much as 450 per cent he said quoting analyses of carrot which indicated iron content was 90

newspaper artists put in their apprentice years the chalkpate was a sheet of steel covered on orie side to the depth of an eighth of aa inch with a composition of gue whiting and other substances a staff artist at tending an event would sketch it and back at his office would sketch it again on a thin transparent piece of paper this would be laid on tho chalked side of the plate and trac ed to leave a grooved picture in the chalk then with a sharp tool the chalk would be etched away to the steel along the indicated lines the aproned artist blowing after cnci stroke to remove the excavated material finally type metal would be pour ed over the plate often the cliaik on which an artist was working would have developed a crrst and it would have to be scraped and many plates were scraped
