There is the alarm clock that wakens the whole family without disturbing the maid. Now, all that needs is to reverse the scheme. And there are the city newspapers that inter- -polat opinions` into their news columns. But for these most people have a -waste- basket. And there is the weather. In winter Johnnie n-ds it too cold to go to school but not too cold to go coasting; in summer it s too hot to go to school but not too 'hot for the swimmin` hole. As y there s no invention to outwit the boy. There's the question of woman's drew. too. But, thank invention, -men don't `have _ to wear skirts, though an invention to save ; them from paying for them might help. Still, that is business, not an invention. And the wedding march invention! All it. needs is to be played in camel-walk" time- and the [bride has merely. to assume her _dance`st1-ide to save the trouble of reheam-~ ml. Girls have been heard to say they don't- see how they can live without a certain- man. Perhaps an improvement on that in- vention would be nd out. to marry the fellow ancii V N0 BIRDS, N0 FORESTS Insects are among the worst enemies of the human race. They destroy millions of `dollars worth of farm crops annually in Canada and their destruction of timber in the forests is also very heavy. The officers of the Dominion Department of Agricul- .ture and of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior are constantly working to reduce the damage from this curse. So far as the general public is con- ` cerned, and this applies particularly to boys landgirls, the best help they can give is `to protect the birds.` In some cases in England owners have saved their planted forests by putting up bird-houses and in- ducing certain kinds of birds to come to their plantations.` In Canada in-the past insects have been kept in control by birds. If the birds are destroyed or driven. away. the insects multiply` exceedingly and the farms and the forests suer. Cats are in- veterate bird-killers and cat owners both: in the city and in the country should be on the alert to prevent such destruction- ! and ladies` to an oyster supper, which was iserved from 7 to 9 p.m. After a sumptu- 'ous repast, the remainder of the evening lwas spent in dancing, cards. singing `and |games; also speeches on the Success and lbenets of the L.O.L.
