Confections in Demand All Throughout the Year There have been several requests this week for different. types of con- fectlons.

After the balls are cool, they should be wrapped in waxed paper and may be tied with ribbon for party use. The spiced nuts, for which the re- cipe has been requested, are usually prepared with almonds, and may be served at luncheon or dinner. The last request, which was for a recipe for rock candy. was a puzzler foor me. The only recipe which I have comes from a cook book which was published in 1847.

France Enthusiastic About Visit of British Royalty The account, in an English maga- zine, of the preparations that are be- ing made by the hospitable French Government for the entertainment of King George and Queen Elizabeth on their state visit to France in June makes very interesting reading. Hav- ing at first decided to spend seventy .‘;housand pounds on the visit. the government increased this amount to one hundred and twenty thousand ponds, and they made the increase with enthusiasm, as the French do everything that is worth while. “For- eign Minister Joseph Paul Boncur stoutly declared, amid cheers, “The government and parliament, of France are eager to receive the Sovereigns of Great Britain with all the splendor and dignity that is their due. Our greeting will be impressive and cor- dial.” PF4 We ardently advocate anything and everything that adds to the joy of bathing and Spring. And how the two can be separated, we can’t see. With flowers dominating the spring scheme, it is natural for floral-scented salts to make their appearance. But,| we call it. a stroke of genius when they appear in the form of potted plants. Charming little white pottery contain- ers with scented bath salts in which gay spring flowers bloom are finding their way to many a smart bathroom shelf. The bath salts in each contain- er reflect the scent of the flowersâ€" there’s a. colorful geranium plant, for instance, containing pink, geranium- scented bath salts; a hyacinth plant with blue, lilac-scented bath salts; an array of field flowers topping yellow bath salts with a bouquet odor. You can also have pink and blue crocuses with green, cologne-scented salts; or one with lavender and white crocuses in lavender colored salts.

Inc.) Calls Clothes Moth Home Enemy N0. 1 Methods for Exterminating This Household Pest. Of the 10,000 odd insect pasts said to infeSt the North American continent, the common clothes mcth is perhaps best known and most reviled. Yet the moth is .excapt as an accessory after the fact. rather an innocent creature. It has no predatory instincts, lives but a little while. and eats nothing because it is physically incapable of doing: so. «By C. J. Warringwn in 0.11.. (3an The female of the species is only more ci:a:lly than the male because of its habit of laying eggs every day of its one or two weeks of life. In the mo: .3 case the evil that it does lives after it. indeed. First comes the egg, than the worm, or larva, and then the pupa. or Chrysalis, and -finally the moth again; a life cycle of four stages, only one of which is harmful to clothing. It is at the larva stage cf life that the moth species devours those things of animal origin on which it finds itself. Thus it eats wool, silk, feathers and hair, grows by what it feeds on and emerges into the Chrysa- lis stage. at last taking wing after it has cast off its case, which is usually leit behind in exchange for the morsel of cloth that fed the larva. (The own- lifiétiii‘é courtesy of Jeurelle. Inc T IMZMIN S, ONTARIO er of the underwear usually considers the exchange a poor one.) There are several ways of battling the moth species other than clapping one’s hands at it. As a matter of ram. this is useless. since Mother Moth has probably done a little egg laying al- ready and is on the way to new fields. These ways are all chemical: You can either repel her. asphyxiate her. or pm her or her progeny into a lethal chamber. The modem moth repellent differs much from the Victorian moth ball which was composed of coal tar naph- thalene or varying purity. and was cnly very little less anathema to most humans than to Mother Mcth. Nowa- days an aromatic organic chemical, which is easily volatilized and readily aired from the goods, and which, in ~ufficient concentration. actually us- phyxlates the pest, is sold by Cana- dian Industries Limited to manufac- curers of moth repellents. It is. how- ever, quite harmless to Humans. While it is anathema to moths. it. must always get there first. In other words, for the purpose of protecting goods from moth damage, the moth always comes before the egg and the repellent must come even before the moth. Therefore, it is wise not to de- lay too long in putting away winter clothes (until spring is in the air. when the miller’s daughter takes to wing); and when doing so to see that the container in which clothes should be stored is hermetically sealed against the escape of the fumes ol‘ moth n;- pellent. Also, it is worth while put- ting enough in to ensure that. if there is 'a moth stowaway, it will suffocate in short order and nct remain alive to do its nefariOUs work under cover. For things sluch as furniture, drapes, rugs, etc., the moth can best be thwart- ed by treatment of the material with a chemical which does not suit the dietary fads of the larva. Whenever infestation with moth eggs is suspected ordinary repellents are of little value. and the safest treatment is fumigatilon with a highly lethal gas. This can only be carried out by properly equip- ped fumigators or drycleanersâ€"and most up-to-date drycleaning estab- lishments now offer a combined clean- ing, fumigation and storage service. Word from Toronto is to the effect that the Attorney-Generals depart- ment will appeal the decision of the Ontairo Court of Appeal to free John Comba who had been tried and con- victed in the case of the murder of a little girl at Renfrew. In dissenting from the judgment of the other mem- bers of the Court of Appeal, Chief Justice Latchford pointed out that the appeal in the first place only asked for a. new trial and that all the judges were agreed that communication with the outside by the jury during the trial made it necessary under the law to have a new trial. The jury had used the telephone, despite warnings, and. however innocently this may have been carried on, the separation of the jury during the trial was contrary to law which required that; the jury be not separated during the trial and that communication be carired on with the outside world only through the sheriff.

Province to Pay Larger‘ Share of Educatiun (Tosts Dr. L. J. Simpson. minister of educa- tion. told the Ontario Educational As- vociation, meeting in Toronto, that he is heartily in accord with this view. and one may assume he spoke officially. He announced also. “reasonable assur- ance“ that this year the provincial de- partment will hand out to high school boards and boards of education ap- proximately $1.200,000' more than they received from provincial sources in The further the Ontario Department of Education moves along this line. the louder will be the applause from the municipalities. Modern educational costs have mounted so steadily that the time has come when many of the areas are no longer in a position to meet the bills. Inasmuch, too. as education is regulated by the provincial authorities, made to conform to standards estab- blished by Queen‘s Park. it seems to be reasonable that the province should bear a larger share of the load. 193'! Northern Ontario centres, which are not as favourably situated with regard to taxation sources, as are the manu- facturing towns and cities in Southern, Ontario, will gladly welcome the min- ister's announcement that the govern- ment is to hand out a little more assist- ance in meeting education costs. Pro- perty owners and business men in many mining communities are hard pressed in meting all tax levies; and any help in lightening the burden of education will be acceptable.
