Cow Adopts Tactics of C.I.0. TUGASKE, Sask.--The most un- usual sitdowner in Canada is a cow, W. J. Moore, farmer in this district, 90 miles from Regina, said the other day.

The "Countess" was shipped by stern- wheeler from Fargo, North Dakota, as tracks from the east had not yet been laid into Winnipeg. WINNIPEG, - Memories ot days when railroading was young and the duties of an engineer ranged from the trimming of Wicks ot coal oil head- lights to patching blown boilers with bran mash, were revived here when 200 retired employeetd, met as guests at the Annual Canadian Pacifié As- sociation dinner. A staff of gardeners has put the ehabyau's golf course in tip-top shape and Edward is expected to play with Herman L. Rogers, Mrs. Simpson‘s champion at Monts and her host at Cannes on the French Riviera. Veteran "BN" Edwards, old-time engineer, fondly recalled the celebra- tion that marked the arrival of the French Secret Police have made arrangements for the Duke of Wind- sor to travel inconspicuously acroas France trom his retreat at St. Wolf- gank, Austria. He will board the Orient Empress in Austria, but, some- where between the French frontier and Paris, he will detrain and proceed to Monts by automobile. It was éxpected that he would avoid Paris, travelling to th Tour- aine region by way ot Orleans. Mash Used To Mend Boilers Retired Male Employees Rear. inisce on Duties Of Old Engineers The Chateau de Cande hustled with activity tonight when Mrs. Simpson's host, Charles Bedaux, returned trom Paris to join in preparations tor Ed. ward’s arrival. The Mayor refused to discuss the wedding "speech" which he will ds liver after Edward and Mrs. Simpson have given their answers to the ten- minute French civil ceremony. But he is known throughout Northern France tor his eloquent and lengthy marriage sermons. MONTS, France. - The peasant Mayor ot Montes, Jean Mercier, who always lectures newlyweds 0n the importance of big families, Sunday said he had been asked to ottieiate at the wedding of the Duke of Wind- eor aond Mrs. Wallis Simpson. Edward, who is expected here Tuesday afternoon to Join Mrs. Simp. son at the Chateau de Cande, will have the "last word" in the wedding arrangements, but Mayor Mercier already has been approached regard. ing the ceremony. “I have been planning to retire trom politics for some time, so this will be the climax of my career," said the Mayor. Peasant Mayor _ Will Officiate Looks Forward To Windsor- Simpson Ceremony a When a thunderstorm bursts the things to avoid are sitting on radia- tors or on the edge ot a bed, he said, the point being that the human body “This may sound tacetious," he said, "but it was the conclusion that was reached by a conference of elec- trical engineers." Now that automo- bile bodies were made ot steel they too afforded safety, though, he warn- ed, it would be unwise to get out to change a tire. The popular notion that rubber-soled shoes acted as a safeguard was unfounded tor "it the lightning has enough power what does a quarter of an inch of rubber amount to," Mr. McEachron pointed out. MONTREAL, - The furnace is the place to go to be sate from lightning, according to K. B. McEachron, re- search engineer, addressing the El. ectrical Club here. Completely sur- rounded by metal, a human would be safe trom a stroke ot lightning and, as a rule, the only spot in the home where he, or she, could be so encased would be inside the furnace, he ex- plained. In choosing a focal point of inter- est in the garden - which may be a piece ot statuary or some other such structural unit - a single tree, arch. ing its boughs over it, will suffice as a complement ot green that will lend warmth to the static ornament. And so a simple, pleasing composition is evolved, There is hardly another single unit ot living interest that will do as much tor a layout as a single tree that is well placed. It must be of suitable variety. size and forms, for it gives and fixes a “scale” tor the entire planting. It frames views.'it casts a shadow. varying with the movement of the sun; and lastly, its silhouette against the sky adds a quality ot en- chantment. Furnace ls Safe From Lighting The unit next in importance may well be the plane, or floor; and for this a tine green carpet of grass sure- ly gives much comfort to the eye and a tine blending colour for adjacent unitle‘hc "gracraisu the tree are in themselves not a garden. They are to be surrounded with an enclosure, either a wall of structural material or a hedge of living green. Privaéy is thurprovided. Within this canctum the designer paints a picture or se- veral pictures, according to his fancy. DAWSON.
