jft THUMB LGordor\['<.7:'\ Wf^ The Compost Heap Books have been writttn on com- post heaps and it is a worthy suh- jccf. The good gardener throws nothing away that will rot or dc- ccmpnse and that means almost -anything. He piles thcin on his compost heap. Green weeds, leaves and other trash should all be tossed in, covered with a layer of soil and it obtninnble some manure. If watered occasionally and perhaps treated with some of the special humus-making chemicals this ma- Hrial will break down rapidly and make the finest sort of garden soil. Most experts regard the compost pile as an essential part of their gardens. Where the pile is large it can be s. rccned with sonit quick- growing .iiincals or some perman- ent shrubbery. If each new addi- tion of rt fuse is covered acII with a fresh layer of soil there should le no oiloiir and no attraotion for flies. * * • Something Will Grow No matter how unlavor.iblc the location there is some flower, vege- table or shrub that will tlirive in it. Some flowers, vegetables and certain varieties of grass actually prefer shade, some want acid soil rather than sweet, some like heavy clay better than loam or sand. The thing in vdanning is to consider these special likes and dislikes, then to select those plants that suit one's special location. Most vegetables, however, are pretty keen on a generous amount of .sun, but they have distinct likes and dislikes in the matter of soil. For deep-rooted carrots, potatoes, etc., it is important that the soils be fairly loose at least a loot down. Certain types prefer sandy soil to clay. But no matter ^hat the soil is to start with by a little planning and care one can change it fairly easily. » » • Can't Do Without Cultivation Killing weeds is only one of several reasons for cultivating flowers and vegetables. Even if it were possible to have chemical weed killers which would destroy all but the flowers and vegetables We would still need to cultivate. 'I'his stirring of the soil wit!i a rake, lioe, or wliatever is used, is essen- tial to let in air, to absorb moisture and to distribute plant food. In dry parts of the country it also keeps the soil from drying out. A good practice is to cultivate gardens or hoc crops regularly, after every good shower. Wait, of course, .i few hours or so until the soil is just <lry enough to work. * * * Plenty of Time Too early sowing is definitely not fecommended. It is all very well to tow a few short rows of vegetables a week or two before the regular time just on the chance that there will be no late frosts, but the main sowings should wait until tihe time recommended by the seed catalogue or the local experts. For plants that are tender nothing is gained In planting in cold soil and before the weather has definitely turned warm. Of course, where extra pro- lection is provided one can get llarted earlier but otherwise it is better to wait. Kven if tender plants do survive 1 late frost they are quite lilcely 10 be so retarded that later and Mrmal plantings will overtake Ihem. In the vegetable garden, of (ourse, one should never sow all Htd at once. The experts urge •preading sowings over several weeks so that the harvest will like- wise be spread out. In most parts of Canada one can go on planting beans, beets, carrots, lettuce and luch things every ten days or so from the time of earliest possible planting right up to July.

The nur.se is fireman Bob Arwine, who answered the fire alarm with Rhett. hv A SixbitCrttic We wrote, not so lo-ig ago, some fairly uncoiiii)liincntary remarks regarding the torrent of books about baseball, baseball teams and baseball players which, for the past couple of years, have been gushing from publishers' presses faster than the Red River ever flooded, and with almost as depressing an effect. Now, after perusing â€" or at least glancing through â€" what seems like a long cord more of these volumes, we would say that the lads are rapidly writing them- selves clean out of material; and if we have to read just once more about what Dizzy Dean said to Frankie Frisch during the World .Series, or about how Old Pete Alexander threw his hangover at the N. Y. Yankees and beat them with it, we are going to toss the book out the window and holler "Copper." ♦ + * (Here we. would like to state again, however, that Ed. Barrow's reminiscenses, still running serially, by no means belong in the above category. But then Big Ed was an exceptional baseball man â€" one whose influence on the growth and development of the game was probably greater than that of any other individual.) ♦ ♦ ♦ Anyway, fairly well fed up with baseball as reading material, it was a refreshing change to run across a book about a quite different sort of sport â€" the sport of Lawn Ten- nis. And when you consider what a gruelling, punishing, nerve-rack- ing affair modern tennis has be>- come, it seems strange to recall that, not too many years ago, it was considered a lady-like sort of pastime, and men who indulged in it were liable to be called, by crude hangers-on around Dolans Tavern or Cassidy's Pool Parlor, ".Sissies" or worse. ♦ . • The book we refer to is called "Romance of Wimbledon" by John Oiliff, profusely illustrated with portraits and scenes from earliest times down to the present day. We are sure anybody who likes to either play or watch tennis will get a real bang out of this book; al- though some of them will undoubt- edly be surprised to learn that Gleeful Gorilla â€" "Amo," an 8-inoiitli-oid gorilla flown from \fric.n, looks forward to the good life in some zoo. Animal Icalor Henry Trefflich, holding Amo, calls the animal "ugly and vicious enough io grow up to be a second Garganlua." Wimbledon â€" the greatest tennis centre in the world â€" was actually started as a place for the playing of Croquet. 13 ut facts are facts â€" and it was Croquet that really kept V/imhlcdon going for the first thirty jcars of its existence. It was back in 1870 that two brothers named Jones formed a Croquet Club and, after searching for a ground that wouldn't put too great a strain on their limited bank-roll, acquired four acres at Wimbledon at a rental of fifty pounds a year. And their All Eng- land Croquet Club held its first championships there in June, 1870. * * * .Some five years later Henry Jones, who was always proposing startling innovations, suggested de- voting a small piece of the grounds to lawn tennis. This was at first re- garded as "just another of Henry's little jokes"; but Hank was appar- ently a persistent sort of bloke, and he had his way, the rather frighten- ing sum of twenty-five pounds being spent on the necessary equip- ment. The tennis folks rallied around, and the first Wimbledon championship was held in 1877. * â- Â» * But, according to Mr. Oiliff, Croquet kept the club together till after the turn of the century â€" in fact until 1904 when Lawn Tennis showed a profit of thirteen hundred pounds, while Croquet was in the red for six pounds. But for all that the suggestion that Croquet be re- moved from the official name of the club was twice rcornfuUy re- jected. »r t â- â- * It was around this time that the two famous Dpherty brothers â€" "R.F." and "H.L." as they were known â€" began to put Lawn Tennis on a really solid footing so far as the general public was concerned. And from the Doherty's stems the long line of tennis stars right down to Gorgeous Gussie whose lace panties last year caused almost as much stir at Wimbledon as Suz- anne Lenglen's actions did in 1926 when she kept Queen Mary waiting â€" and lived to regret doing so. ^ -t * Suzanne', in case you don't *re- mcmber, was the French girl who won the Ladies Singles five times in a row, and whose opinion of herself was almost as great as her ability. In those days they didn't "seed the draw" as they do now, and Suzanne â€" finding that all the leading ladies were in her section of the draw â€" threw something bke a conniption fit. Dealing with this incident th<; author quotes the official referee's tactful â€" extrtiiiely tactful â€" version. "Storms were caused by Mile. Ltnglcn,:" he wrote. "Her unques- tionable superiority of the past few yur* to any other woman player had apparently led her to think that Wimbledon ought to be run to suit her convenience without regard to any other interest whatever. Pos- sibly too much attention had been paid to her wishes in previous years. But in 1926 she presumed too far on her positioi) in the tennis world." Boiled down .to mofc everyday language this means' that Suzy said they had to play it 'her way â€" or else. Queen Mary, there to see the great Frenchwoman play, was kept waiting for half an hour with noth- ing to watch. Possibly Her Majesty didn't like this treatment. Certainly the Wimbledon folks didn't. Any- way, Suzanne scratched â€" and never played at Wimbledon again. Sounds like a tempest in a teapot at this distance; but it stirred up plenty of talk and excitement then. * • * The author says â€" and who are we to dispute his word? â€" that the most extraordinary Wimbledon match of all occurred in 1921 be- tween Randolph Lycctt, of Austra- lia, and Zenzo Shimidzu of Japan. It was played on one of the hottest days in memory, an^ by the third sft the Aussie had to be revived every time they changed ends. And we fear that his revival methods wouldn't ippeal very greatly to some of our temperance advocates â€" for what Lycett used, as a stimu- lant, was plain gin. â- â™¦ ♦ * In the fin:.' set, which ran to twenty games, it was plainly to be seen that the .'Vustralian was on his last legs, the combination of heat and gin having taken its effect. Lycctt knew that it was impossible to carry on without further stimu- lant, so he did the most audacious thing the Centre Court at Wimble- don has ever seen. He ordered a Lottie of champagne to be placed for him on the umpire's chair â€" • and as the battle went on, he drank the lot. ♦ » • However, virtue was its own reward; and as the Jap eventually won, perhaps we'll be forgiven â€" in spite of the gin and champagne â€" for calling attention to "Romance of Wimbledon" by John Oiliff. As one reviewer puts it "this is a book that contains the statistics which lawn tennis enthusiasts will wish to consult, but is also packed with drama and, in some cases, tragedy." MAD AT OWN VOICES Do lions recognize their own voices? Edgar M. Quecney, an American naturalist, thinks not. When he was filming big game in the Lake Amboseli area of Kenyu recently, he pitched his camp one night beside a small river. The party was awakened next morning by a pride of five lions roaring a few yards away on the opposite bank, Queeney switche.l on sound-recording apparatus and made a film of the din. Ihen, be- cause the animals would not go away, he played the record back through a powerful loudspeaker. Were the lions frightened? Not a bit. The sound of their own voices drove them to fury and they made frantic efforts to cross the river. Queeney strtick camp very hurriedly. . 'Chance Takers' Don't Belonsr on Submarines A man who likes to take chances has no place in a submarine â€" even though he may prove to be a good commando or paratrooper. And though a man who fears being alone may be unhappy in many jobs he can be a competent mem- ber of a submarine's crew. Lone- liness is no problem in the crowd- ed quarters of a sub. These conclusions result fiom re- search conducted by Ernest A, Haggard, on the special psycho- logical stresses suffered by sailor.s in submarines. Best fitted for submarine service, according to the findings so far, are men who are seemingly independ- ent but who actually enjoy team work. Good submariners can chan- nel aggression into the performance of their duties, instead of releasing it against themselves or th.'ir ship- mates. Their thoughts tend to be specific and concrete, rather than abstract and general. Such men are realists and not philosophers.

Nervous energies cannot be released in activity. "That is perhaps why submariners, after a depth- charging episode usually ilelight in a surface battle and then feel 'sat- isfied' about things," says Haggard. To obtain his facts, Haggard interviewed a large number of submarine sailors who hail several s'.iccessful war patrols to their cred- it and who still liked undersea ser- vice. He found that when the men were told the purpose and risk of particular operations, there was a reduction in psychological break- downs and friction. Unnecessary withholding of information about a situation on the part of officers has a bad psychological eifect and interferes with morale and effi- ciency. Members of a submarine crew have definite ideas about officers. Above all, they respect only officers who know their business ,ind keep a craft in good condition. They want both strictness in maintaining efficiency and fair dealing. TAILORING. Dressmaking, Designine taught in your home. Send for Free Booklet. Lqw cost. ZBPHRIE'S SCHOOL OF APPUIED ARTS.
