Interesting Talk and PicturesOn Problems of TobaccoGrowing, at St. James’ Anglican Church Men’s Club
Meeting.
At a largely attended meeting of
the Men’s Club of St. James’ Angli
can Church held in the parish hall
last Wednesday evening. Donald
Mackenzie, .Chemist for National
Fertilizers Limited of Ingersoll, gave
a very educational talk on problems
in the growing of tobacco. The talk
was illustrated with motion pictures,
a number of which were in natural
Jt^ar.
' Che pictures were taken in the to
bacco district of Oxford, Norfolk
and Elgin Counties and were most
interesting to the large gathering.
Mr. Mackenzie touched upon the
growing of crops and the use that is
being made with fertilizers to re
plenish the soil with necessary plant
foods that are sapped out of the
ground by the different crops. He
emphasized the fact that pasture
crops are just as hard on the soil as
grain crops, and that live-stock and
poultry require minerals that only
occur in crops produced on properly
balanced soils.
The club president, Fred H. Adams
waa in charge of the meeting and the
thanks of the gathering were ex
pressed to the speaker by Fred G.
Rich. The lantern was ably operated
by R. A. Stone. A number of visit
ors from Woodstock were in attend
ance at the meeting.
Jack Firth presided at the piano
for community singing and during
the evening it was announced that
the December meeting would take
the form of a concert and social
evening, followed byv dancing. It

ments were served at the close of the

We cannot forget the slaughtering of 60,000 of our
young Canadians in the Great War nor the maiming
of an additional 173,000. It does not make us hate
other nations for they, too, lost heavily in man
power, but it does force us to realise that men can oe
made to hate each other. But when the cosmopolitan
nature of Canada’s war dead is considered, we know
that different races, creeds, and tongues can live as
brothers.
Canada is a land of many racial origins. The Census
Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics gives
23 racial origins in Canada. The largest group u
British, then French, German, Scandinavian and Uk
rainian follow in order. When the war broke out,
these various races rallied to the flag of their adopted
land.
There were 156,000 English-born, 47,000 Scots,
36,000 Americans, 19,000 Irish, 5,000 Welsh and
3,000 Newfoundlanders. The enlistment in Canada
of 1,200 Australians, 1,100 from British India, and
3,000 others from British South Africa, New Zeal
and, British Guiana, Tasmania, Fiji, Hong Kong, Isle
of Man, Malta, the Falkland Islands and Aden, was
rather remarkable. Among the recruits were men
from most of the islands of the West Indies and others
from seventy-<five outlying spots in British Africa,
along with 350 natives of South American countries,
■who claimed British ancestry.
In addition to the Empire-born and the American-
born, there, we re 23,000 natives of continental Eur
ope in the Canadian Army. There were over 7,000
Russian-born and close to 6,000 Scandinavians, 2,000
from Austria-Hungary, 2,000 from Italy, 1,500 na
tives of France, 1,300 Belgians, 400 Roumanians,
400 Greeks and 260 Servians. Most remarkable of all
was the line-up of 245 natives of Germany. Eight of
the German-born and eight of the Austrian-born were
officers. Every country in Europe was represented
in the Canadian army*. There were over one hundred
Turks.
TherdOwere 700 Asiatics, 280 being natives of
Japan and over one hundred natives of China. There
were some from Arabia, Bhutan, Cochin-China, Siam,
Siberia, Manchuria, India, Ceylon, Afghanistan,
Persia and Straits Settlements. There were thirty-
two Africans.
Such was the cosmopolitan nature of the Canadian
-. Army during the Great War. To-morrow, Nov. 11th,
is Armistice Day and it recalls these things to us.
Youth Hostels
There are thousands and thousands of people in
this Dominion who have hiked, but it has been mainly
in the outlook for work. Somehow or other this is not
a country of walkers or hikers for pleasure. We
build highways for cars but leave the pedestrian out
of account, and a walk along a country road is robbed
of much of its pleasure in dodging automobiles.
Despite the handicaps, however, hikers and cyclists
appear to be increasing in numbers—so much so that
the movement for youth hostels is on the way. New
impetus is being given to hiking in Canada by a
movement known as the Youth Hostels Association,
already registered in a number of countries. The
aim of youth hostels is everywhere the same—-to en
able young people to enjoy hiking and cycling in the
beautiful outdoors of Europe and North America;
to enable youth to find wholesome companionship
along the road, travelling inexpensively, and acquiring
a knowledge of their neighbor’s land and customs as
well as their own. One of the codes of the hikers is
that they pledge themselves to leave the countryside
unmarred as a result of thei^travel in it.
The yeuth hostels idea began in Europe in 1911,
as the practical dream of a German schoolmaster.
Since its inceptioq^'outh in millions upon the open
roads of Europe have 'advanced youth hostelling
from a national to,an international influence. In
1930 hostels were'''opened in England; in 1933 one
opened in Canada, and in 1934 the movement spread
to the United States. Today there are thousands of
hostels in forty different countries with several mil
lions of members. As youth hostels concern them
selves not at all with the religious or political beliefs,
or social positions of members, the movement more
and more is lessening racial distinctions.
So far Canada has but a dozen or more hostels and ,
a scant hundred members. The first youth hostel in
Canada was opened in the foothills of Alberta and
a total of twelve now forms a chain from the E. 1’.
Ranch to the town of Banff in Banff National Park.
Ii» 1937 Canada was the twentieth country to be ad
mitted to the International Youth Hostels Associa
tion, and extensive organization work is now being
carried on to extend the movement from the Mari
times to British Columbia. .
as any of earlier days have been developed and pulto human use.J'hose who know about such matters tell us thatthere are literally thousands of new inventions, already patented, in the hands of industry ready to bedeveloped and marketed as soon as the owners ofcapital feel safe in embarking upon new ventures.Thousands of technically-trained men and womenare working in great industrial laboratories on stillmore inventions to make life easier and richer foreverybody.It is foolish to oppose the march of inventionmerely because someone makes a lot of money out of
R. The man or institution who finds a way to sim
plify living, to make it more comfortable or beauti
ful is entitled to the greatest reward that society is
able to give him.
November's Birthstone
The mellow, yellow light of an autumn afternoon
and the golden brown of the danqing leaves are held
imprisoned in the topaz, November’s birthstone. A
legend told by Pliny suggests that the name topaz
came from the name "topazein,” meaning “to seek’’,
because the first locality in which it was found was
an island, Topazas in the Red Sea, which was often
surrounded by fog and difficult for sailors to find.
Contrary to the general idea, topaz is usually color
less or very pale in shade. Yellow hues of different
degrees, from pale to a bright sherry tint, are com
mon as are pale blue and pale green stones. The
brownish-yellow stones from Brazil are altered to a
lovely rose-pink by heating. The red, green, rose,
pink, and violet topaz are very rare when found m
their natural color.The Braganza, a stone of 1,680 carats, was once
listed as the largest of the famous diamonds of the
world but the fact now accepted is that it is not a dia
mond at all but a topaz. A colorless stone can be
cut and polished in such a way as to make it look
like a diamond, especially at night. These colorless
gems are- known sometimes as "Slaves Diamonds. ’
The topaz has a rare velvety body appearance
which fascinates its admirers, and its widerange of pale colors offers a charming selection of
birthstones to those bom in November. When highly
polished, it has a slippery feeling and when rubbed
has the ability—like amber—to pick up pieces of
paper. These qualities assist in determining the gen
uineness of the gem.
Brazil is the principal source of topaz while yellow
and colorless stones are found in Ceylon. Fine blue
stones come from Russia and California. Some of
the less important sources are Scotland, Ireland,
Africa, Australia, Japan and Mexico.
Our imports of precious stones increased over
312,000 last year, according to the External Trade
Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
Insurance For Peace
There is no guaranty of permanent peace so long
as great nations continue to threaten the security
of others.
Though the Munich conference between England,
France, Italy and Germany seemed to assure that no
general European war will break out in the near
future, the attitude of the dictatorial governments
toward the democracies is such that no free nation can
regard itself as forever free from aggression.
For*that reason, in the present unsettled state of
the world, the wise course for a country to pursue
is to build up its defenses, especially the Navy and
the air forces, while there is still time to do so.
There is no doubt whatever, in the minds of stu
dents of worid affairs, that the dictator-ridden nations
both envy and hate other countries. That is evident
from the frequent official statements in the govern
ment-controlled press of Germany, of Russia and of
Japan. Once let those nations get rid of their dem
ocratic neighbors, it is more than likely they would
try to win a foothold on this continent.
Now more than ever the old maxim "In time of
peace prepare for war" is something to take seriously.

Our World of Inventions
The history of North America has been the history
of inventions. Canada and • the United States were
launched just-as the steam engine had been invented.
That was the beginning of the Age of Power and of
what economists refer to as the Industrial Revolution.
In an enormous new country, the small population
along, the Atlantic Coast had to find means to con
quer the wilderness and develop the vast wealth of
the land. No new nation ever grew so rapidly from
pyv.erty' to riches, and it was the inventiveness and
practical ingenirjgpt* of the -people which enabled the
«pion<Ters to do the job.
The cotton gin, 'the steamboat, the railroad, the
'telegraph, the telephone, the electric light, the auto
mobile, the airplane and the radio are only a few of
the inventions pf which their application to human
needs has made these countries great. Hardly a year
has passed without witnessing the introduction of someradically newjinvention of which the ultimate effect
was to makef living easier and to provide more jobs
for everybody.
To imagine a world without typewriters, sewing
machines, mpvies, harvesters, typesetting machines
and a hundred other things’ which we now regard as
commonplaces of everyday life would be difficult
indeed.
The process of invention is still going on. Within
half a dozen yean new inventions as revolutionary

Telia The Story —
by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D.
FOREIGN BODIES
I doubt if there has ever lived a* doctor, who at„
some time or other in his professional career, was
not called upon to remove a foreign body from the
interior of a human being.
It is most common to have children of all ages re
sort to the practice of inserting peas, beans, tacks,
nails, pieces of stone, and dirt into their nostrils and
ears or else swallowing them.
Among girls, hundreds, when they wore their hqjr
long, bit off the ends and swallowed them, in time to
have the bits of hair form into a ball shaped mass in
the stomach, which often required a surgical oper
ation to remove.
General Robert G. Dyrenforth carried a bullet ho
received in a Civil War engagement in his body for.
more than thirty years. He was wounded in- 'the
chest, and I removed the bullet from the calf of hisleg.
An elderly murderer, recently executed at Sing
Sing, for years had been swallowing pins and needles.
X-ray pictures showed a great many of these dress
makers' accessories scattered about various portions
of his anatomy and the strange thing was that none
of them had in the least inconvenienced him during
the twenty-five years he had been following this -
practice. Such caSes are relatively common in medi
cal history and seldom do they prove -fatal.
About six months ago, a man walked into one of tho
large New York hospitals and stated that while he
was sleeping in a bed, at the head of which hung a
pin cushion, he was aroused by a sharp pain in the
anterior portion of the left side of his chest, and told
the interne he believed a needle had stuck in his body.
The pain increased materially in intensity and was
aggravated by deep breathing. His heart sounds were
obscured by a coarse, grating murmur.
A diagnosis of needle in the heart was made and
the X-ray pictures taken confirmed this. An oper
ation exposing the heart was performed and a needle
two'inches long was removed from that organ, the
eye portion of the needle being visible to the operat
ing surgeon. The needle had passed through the tip
of the upper lobe of the lef lung and into the heart.
The man survived the operation and seemed to be
on the road to recovery, when he suddenly died. An
autopsy showed that the neeclle had punctured the
left ventricle of the heart.
BICYCLES motorised1 saw a report recently that morebicycles are being sold and ridden inthis country than ever before. Itinterested me because I have seenthe bicycle develop from the old“high wheel”, but particularly be
cause I have seen the two most im
portant modern means of transpor
tation come out of bicycle shops.
The other day the man who built
tiie first successful automobile died
in Philadelphia. His name was
Charles E. Duryea. As a boy 1 spent
a high-school vacation working in a
bicycle repair shop, under a bright
young mechanic named Charlie Dur
yea. He had the fool idea that he
could rig a gas-engine to a tricyle
and so cut out the hard work of
cycling. He tinkered around the shop
after hours and finally made a
machine that ran.
Out in Dayton, Ohio, two brothers
named Wright had a bicycle repair
shop. They dreamed of a flying
machine, and the airplane came out
of their repair shop. Another young
chap whom I knew, named Glen
Curtiss, had a bicycle shop in Ham
mondsport, N. Y. He built the first
motorcycle. Then he hooked a motor
cycle engine to a balloon and made
the first dirigible. Then he, too, got
the airplane bug and made the first
public flight in a plane of his own
contriving.
STAMPS .... profits
If there is an old house anywhere
in America in which the attic has
not been thoroughly rummaged for
valuable old postage-stamps, I can’t
imagine where it is.
/''Every little while I hear from one
of my stamp-collector friends of the
discovery of a valuable stamp. Not
long ago one of them showed me a
Hawaiian “Missionary" stamp, one
of only three or four known to col
lectors for which he had been off
ered 35,000. He had got it from the
granddaughter of a missionary, who
found it among a package *of old
letters which had been stored in a
farmhouse attic for 75 years.
' There are two or three million
people in America to whom stamp
collecting Is a fascinating and profit
able hobby. One of my friends, a
country Methodist preacher, makes
more every year trading in stamps
than his congregation pays him in
salary:
Not long ago I read of the sale
of a particular set of stamps for
$30,000. It made me feel a bit sick
for- I once owned that identical set
and sold them, nearly fifty years
ago, for a few dollars!
RUSSIA ... autocracy
All the news I read from Russia,
and all the reports my friends bring
back from that country, confirm me
in the belief that it -will he hundreds
of years, if ever, before Russia be
comes a democracy.
It is quite clear that the Russian
government today is in the hands of
a small group who are as arbitrary,
as dictatorial and as absolute in
their control over the lives and lib
erties of the Russian people as even
the most tyrannical of the Czars ever
was.
That is why I am puzzled by the
friendliness for Russia and Russian
ideas professed by many Americans
who are sincerely devoted’ to the
rights of the common man and be
lieve in personal liberty. To a large
number of intelligent young people,
Russia is a symbol of democracy. To
me it is a symbol of all that is worst
in autocracy.
Democracy is not something im
posed from without. It is a system
of self-government growing from the
fierce desire of a people to manage
their own lives and get along with
the least possible regulation by
streams to spawn. As a boy I usedto see them in the upper Potomac,above the first rapids. Indians usedto say that sturgeons could Jump upNiagara Falls. That was their wayof accounting for their presence inthe upper Great Lakes.Scientists,, believe, however, thatthe lake sturgeons are descendedfrom fish trapped by the great volcanic upheaval that formed the falls.Some age-old instinct, howeverbring sturgeons from the sea every
5 ear up the St. Lawrence to the foot
of Niagara, where I used to see In
dians spearing them in the rapids
below the falls,
NAZIS .... outsmarted
In fear-ridden Germany opponents
of Hitler are faced with the almost
unsunnountable task of disseminat
ing information opposing Hitler’s
plans. Ordinary literature and
speeches such as we have in this land
of liberty would result in the execu
tion or imprisonment of all those
concerned. But freedom will out. An
ingenious enemy of Hitler inscribed
anti-Nazi thoughts on a handful of
coins and dropped one of the coins
in each of the most strategic points
in Berlin. Passersby immediately
pick up the money—But upon see
ing the sentiments on the coin, they
drop it like the proverbial hot
potato.

The ways of fish are still very
much of mystery to man. Nobody
knows how the salmon find their
way back from the sea to the same
streams where they were hatched.
When the Bonneville Dam across
the Columbia River was projected a
great protest weht *up from the sal
mon canning ‘industry. The dam
would keep the salmon from coming
back to their old spawning beds,
where they were caught by the can-
ners.
Nothing of the kind happened. A
fish "stairway" was built alongside
the dam, and more than half a mil
lion salmon climbed its 1,200 feet in
the first season. It is easier for
the fish to take the short leaps of*
the stairway than the 20-foot jumps
they used to have to make in climb-
bing the rapids. In tho spawning
season watching the snlmon climb

"WHEN THE WOODS SING”
One wonders sometimes, why some
books at the library have such a
large circulation, while others do not
Does the long list of dates at the
back of the book indicate that it has
had a great many readers; or that it
lias been taken out and returned
unread? Doubtless an attractive title
makes a book appear more interest
ing, and gains readers for it. But
also a book need not be overlooked
just because the title appears unim
portant.
The title of Trygve Gulbranssen’s
book, “Beyond Sing the Woods,"
gives little indication of all the fine
literature within. In it are some
of the finest descriptions of nature
that we have ever read; the mode of
life on a large Norwegian farm is
finely depicted, and it must be of
special interest to many s Canadians
in whose veins flows Scandinavian
blood. The characters are what
might be expected in a country
where men have constantly to match
their strength with that of the ele
ments as well as of the beasts of
the forest. They are people who
live close to nature in its simplicity
and its fierceness. But by that we
would not convey the impression
that the Norwegians are fierce people,
nor too simple to make a contribu
tion to life. In Dag, the author has
drawn a character that is sure to
impress—the owner of large tracts
of land, the employer of many work
ers and the possessor of great wealth.
Dag is also master of himself and he
rises to great heights by overcoming
a human desire for power, and ex
tending leniency to one who might
have received revenge from anyone
possessed of a smaller nature than
Dag’s.
This book and “The Wind from the
Mountain”, by the same author, we
heartily recommend.
DANISH ARCHIVES
An interesting pamphlet has tome
to us from Denmark, sent by the
curator of the Emigrant Archives.
The object of the Archives is to col
lect and tabulate information about
Danish emigrants in all parts of the
world. ,
Danish people have played an im-
- portant part in opening up new ter
ritories, for they possess qualities
that are valuable under all condi
tions, but especially so for pioneer
ing. They have become prosperous
citizens in many countries owing t<*
the fact that their mental develop
ment has not been one-sided.
It is now the desire of their moth
erland to record the accomplish
ments of her sons and daughtersabroad, and the Emigrant Archives
exists for that purpose.
Any information that might be
found in books, pictures historical
works covering social, religious, lit
erary, artistic, economic and indus
trial activities of Danish people or
their descendants, will be gratefully-

MANHATTAN
MERRY-GO-ROUND
— By Albert Zugsmith —
<■ - -- --------
There are tricks to every trade.
And even thd lowly beggar with out
stretched hand and plaintive plea
has a few tricks up his sleeve.
New York, perhaps more than any
other city, has its quota of rich
beggars. There’s the gentleman who
is driven in his limousine by his
chauffer to work every afternodki at
five and called for at midnight. He
is minus a leg, but owns three’ big
apartment houses in the heart of
Manhattan. Begging is supposed to
have made him a fortune of close to
a quarter of a million.
In the new crop of beggars is the
nice-looking young chap with care
fully-brushed hair and neat but well-
mended clothes who will stop you on
Broadway, just below Times Square,
with a tale something like this, "Par
don me sir, but I’m not a bum. I’ve
just had a run of hard luck that
might happen to anyone. I’ve got a
chance of a job in Philadelphia and
I’m shy 32c to get there. I don’t
want a penny more but that 32c
will mean a new life to me. If you’ll
give me your address I’ll mail it back
to you out of my first week’s wages."
All this has been delivered in a
well-modulated voice and with an act
that is bent on convincing you that
but for the grace of God you might
be in this unfortunate’s shoes. The
"unfortunate" is believed to average
r half dollar from two out of every
four people who will listen to his
tale. One out of every ten who lis
ten will give him 32c or less.
More give him a half dollar be
cause they want to see the lad eat
also or because they are too bashful
to ask for or get change.
People are pretty swell after all.
But the petty grafter working this
minor racket isn’t so swell.
He makes on the average of $40
to $50 a week, has a little car and a
girl friend whom he takes places at
night
Then there’s the blind beggar who
is evidently a keen student of the
workings of people’s minds. He is
perpetually standing on street cor
ners, waiting for some kind soul to
take him across. Three times out of
every ten that he is taken across the
street, the person with the good
heart also makes a donation to the
biind beggar’s daughter and her col
lege education. The beggar is oper
ating on the.system that every other
person in New York is lonely and
feels that the world is against him.
When si person of that sort takes himacross / the street they feel that
they’rp a pretty good person after
all, kind to beggars, and dogs and aU
that sort of thing. A feeling of
good fellowship pervades them,
hence the tip.
Beggars are employing showman
ship in their business these days.
The two blind boys tooting sax and
picking banjo on Broadway have
their counterpart in cities , and vil
lages from coast-to-coast. For the
wise beggar has found out that to
get ahead of his competitor around
the corner he must use Big Business
methods in his occupation.
But don’t get me wrong, pardner,
every beggar in Manhattan isn’t
wealthy or a petty racketeer. Many
are in dire need and some are pretty
fine people. Like “Legless Mike"
who never fails to drop a dime in
the cup of the blind beggar woman
on Eighth avenqe.
Show people, especially, are ex
ceedingly generous to those who beg.
It is said of William Fox that he
never visited Atlantic City without
giving the legless beggar near the
Ritz a $50..note. I wonder how he
would feel if he found out that that
particular mendicant owned a mort
gage on a house not far from there?
Those in need, I believe, receive
more from show folks in ratio to
their earnings than any other pro
fession. Many on the stage will not
pass any upturned hat without drop
ping a coin.

A call for leadership in the Fed
eral Government of Canada which
he declared was sadly lacking at the
present time was made at Woodstock
Friday night last by Hon. Mitchell
F. Hepburn, Premier of-Ontario, ad
dressing a rally of the Oxford Coun
ty 20th Century Clubs, in the Wood
stock Armories.
Between 700 and 800 persons,
representing all parts *of Oxford, at
tended the rally, which was also ad
dressed briefly by Hon. P. M. De
wan, Woodstock, Ontario minister of
agriculture; A. S. Rennjp, Tillson-
burg, M. P. for Oxford, and Dr. A.
S. Duncan, .M.L.A. for London. Wil
frid L. Bishop, of Norwich, acted as
chairman, while Premier Hepburn
was officially welcomed to Woodstock
by Mayor R. G. Cldwes,
“I am very optimistic with regard
to Ontario,” said the premier in a
lapid fire resume of the accomplish
ments of his Government during the
past three years, “but I am most pess
imistic for the condition in which we
find the affairs of the Dominion.”
Turning to the Ottawa Field, Pre
mier Hepburn said that there were
three things which required imme
diate attention of the Dominion
Government, these being the railway
problem, the interest problem and
the defence problem.
Of the first, he said merely that a
condition existed which had to be
remedied if Canada were to prosper,
and that no leadership had been
given in the matter.
The interest question he said, was
one that had been developing
throughout the country in recent
years, until today municipalities and
the Federal Government were Iqaded
down with a burden they would never
be able to wipe out Pointing out that
practically every country that had
participated in the Great War had
made some move to adjust invterest rates with the sole exception
cf Canada, he cited the experience of
Australia.
Many from Ingersoll were in at
tendance at the rally and remained
for the dance which was held follow
ing the speaker’s address.

Complete Record* ofIngersoll-Port BurwellRailway IntactThousands of letters and important documenta which were the property of the late John H. Teall, ofTillsonburg, have been carefullyclassified and filed this summer atthe University of Western Ontarioand are kept in the Lawson Memorial Library for reference purposes.The papers, which fill 21 large filing volumes, and 4 other letter
books, were presented to the Univer
sity of Western Ontario this sum
mer by Miss Grace Teall, the daugh
ter of the man who built the Tillson-
burg, Lake Erie and Pacific Rail
way.
Professor Fred Landon, Librarian
at the University, considers the
papers very important, and pointed
out that the collection dates back to
documents signed in 1840. All the in
tricate and difficult stages of getting
a railroad built and in running or
der are here explained, through 40
years of negotiations on the part of
Mr. Teall, who was one of Ontario’s
railroad pioneers. He built the rail
way from Port Burwell to Tiilson-
burg, and later extended the line to
Ingersoll before it was taken over
by the Canadian Pacific. Before the
sale was made, Mr. Teall had plan
ned to build coke ovens at Port
Burwell, importing the coal from his
own mine in the United States. At
one time he even considered running
the line as far north as Collingwood.
John Teall worked day and night
to complete the railroad, and his
own story of the exhausting task is
complete in the records which the
University of Western Ontario now
has in its possession.

AUTO STOLEN ANDGAS STATION ROBBEDCar of F. Heath Stone, Ingersoll, Believed To Have BeenUsed By Pair That RobbedThamesford Service StationSaturday Night.Excitement was at a high pitchhere on Saturday! night. Shortlyafter ten o’clock, F. Heath Stonereported to the police that his Lin-
coln-Zeephyr car had been stolen
from in front of the residence of T.
R. Jones, King street west, while Mr.
Stone had stopped into the house for
a few minutes and had left the motor
of his car running. Search was im
mediately started for the stolen car
and the police of surrounding centres
.were notified to be on the watch for
the automobile. At 11.40 a call came
to the local police office from Joshua
Bobier, Thamesford Service Station
operator, stating that two men had
entered his service station, on the
westerly limits of the village and
asked for a package of cigarettes. As
Mr. Bobier turned to get the cigar
ettes he heard the bell of his cash
register ring. Upon looking up he
saw’ one of the men scoopcng money
from the till drawer witfe one hand
and covering Mr. Bobier with a gun
clutched in the other. The second
man kept a watch on the door.
Mr. Bobier was told to stay
where he was if he knew what was
good for him as the gunman kept
him covered. The other robber
made his exit and in few moments
the gunman departed from the ser
vice station, entered a car waiting in
front and with the second man as
driver, sped westward.
Mr. R. A. Stoe, who was returning
from a rugby game at Sarnia, when
a few miles west of Thamesford, not
iced a car turn around on the highway and drive east at high rate of
speed. He recognized the vehicle as
that of Mr. F. H. Stone, and upon
letuming^o Ingersoll and hearing
that the car had been stolen, told of
his observation to the police.
Constables John Holmes and Ben.
F. Timms, with Chief Alex. Callander
of the Ingersoll Police Force; Pro
vincial Traffic Officer, Al. Lawrence,
Ingersoll; County Constable John
Clark, Woodstock and,Provincial Offi
cers Eric MacMillen and Lyle Ptol-
mey of London, were all engaged in
the search for the stolen car and
robbers. While proceeding north on
Thames street, just outside of tho
town limits, Officer Lawrence and
Constable Holmes observed a car
approaching them at a high rate of
speed. They got out of their car
and .ordered the approaching car to
stop. The automobile proved to be
the stolen one, and the driver at
tempted to squeeze Officer Lawrence
between the two cars as he passed.
Shots were fired at the fleeting ve
hicle but it evaded the officers, who
immediately came up town to notify
the other police. Returning north of
the river a few moments later along
Victoria street, a parked car was ob
served on John street in front of the
^Sacred Heart Convent, The car
proved to be the stolen one. The’
motor was running and the radio was
going at full blast, the front lights
were on and both doors were found
open, indicating that the robbers had
parked the car and made a hasty exit
after passing the police on Thames
street north. A search was continued
throughout the town and district un
til after 5 o’clock Monday morning,
but no trace of the robbers could be
found.
On Monday morning, E. S. Byer-
man, G. P. R. agent at Thamesford,
reported that entry had been made
to the station sometime.after closing
on Saturday. A hole was cut through
the door and the1 lock released to
gain entry. All that was secured
there was 15 copers, 2 excise stamps
and a mechanical pencil bearing Mr.
Byerman’s name. The police be-
lieve/tyis robbery was the work of
the same pair that held up the Bo
bier Service Station.
The amount taken at the service
station is reported to be in the
neibhborhood of $7.00 as Mr. Bobier
had’, just previously emptied the till
of the day’s takings.

Blueberry Culture
Aa far as is known there are no
commercial plantings- of cultivated
blueberries in Canada, but consider
able interest is being shown in three
experimental plantings at the Dom
inion Experimental Station, Kent-
ville, Nova Scotia. There is also a
small planting of cultivated varieties
at the Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa. Results at Kentville would
indicate that the blueberry will thrive
under Canadian conditions of culti
vation. Most of the varieties are
hardy, comparatively free from dis
ease or pests, and properly handled
may be depended on to give a good
yield of large fruits. The soil for
blueberries is important. The plant
apparently requires a good moisture
supply but not a water-logged soil.
Information as to soil types, prepar
ation for planting, cultivation, fertil
izing, pruning and varieties is con
tained in a publication which may
be obtained free on request from the
Publicity and Extension Division,

ture, Ottawa.

SYNOPSIS: Amo* Ethridsre la foundmurdered In a country lane with acrude cruas of twirw on hl« breaat anda acented sheet of note paper In hispocket. He was the richest man in theatate with power and Influence enoughto mfikfi hlnwlf a candidate for Governor. With bin death came hints ofan unsavory private life, of wrongedwomen and betrayed husbands andfathers who had reason to wish himdead. There wa» also a powerful secret political organisation opposed tohim. . . Mary Holmes, called ’thegoose woman" by newspaper reporters,lives nearest the scene of the crimeon a small chicken farnf . . . GeraldHolmes, her talented young artist sonhas been befriended by the murderedEthridge.
The mystery of the murder, bi
the way. still remained unsolvedThe clues left by the slayer of AmosEthridge were so slender that noprogress had been made in piecingthem together, and, naturally, theor
ies of various sorts began to beadvanced. Several of the Chicago
papers declared that the cross oftwigs on the dead man’s breastproved it to be a Klan outrage, and
this explanation was generally accepted, for Westland was a strong
hold of the secret order and Ethridge was a bitter enemy of the organization. What is more, an im
pressive demonstration had recentlyoccurred here. There had been a
parade and a midnight conclave atwhich scores of new members hadbeen initiated. Special trains hadbeen run from distant points, hundreds'* of automobiles had assem
bled, thousands of robed men hadgathered in the light of a tremendous fiery cross erected on a hilljust outside the city limits.
Out of this occurrence had sprung
a bitter political quarrel, for AmosEthridge had boldly proclaimed
through the press that the Governorwas an avowed member and thatthe conclave had been planned with
his knowledge and consent. Ethridge had gone further; he had
djrged that the entire machineryof law enforcement had been betrayed, delivered over to the Invisible Empire. He had promised to
adduce irrefutable evidence, proofpositive, when the time came. His
accusations had met with a tremendous popular response and, as a matter of fact, it was largely as a re
sult of this outspoken support thathe announced his intention to run
for Governor al the coming election,pledging himself, if successful, towage relentless war upon the
hooded order and to restore thegovernment io the people.
Threats ^gainst life had followed.He had received warnings forecast
ing much the same end as had actually overtaken him. His murderupon the very eve of the campaignconvinced most people that thecharges voiced by the Chicago
newspapers were indeed sound.
But those charges were not so
readily’ accepted by the citizens ofWestland. Amos Ethridge hadbeen a great man locally and during
his lifetime his power had been suchthat few, of his neighbors dared
speak a word against him, but, nowthat he was dead, tongues began to
wag. From various quarters therearose a hissing of scandal. Peoplevoiced openly what they had never
ventured to more than whisper—viz., that Ethridge’s private life had
not been above reproach, that therewere chapters in it which would notbear the light of day, and that the
authorities would have to lookfurther than the secret order in
order to find his slayer. What'aboutthat "Thur'-d^d note that had beenfound in hfWpockct? There was
more than one husband or lover,yes. even more than one father, in
Westland who smarted under asense of outrage and who had reason to thank God the millionairewas dead. Let the police discoverwhat woman’s fingers had penned
that note, then perhaps the mystery could be solved. It was evenwhispered that out of the solving
there might result a scandal morepainful to the community than its
present sense of loss, and that underthe circumstances it might be thepart of wisdom to let sleeping dogslie. Such came to be the generalfeeling in Westland.
As the days crept by and no arrests were made, certain citizens be
gan to nod and to speak guardedlyof ‘‘influence." The out-of-towncorrespondents heard these whis
pers and promptly wired them in.As a result a special prosecutor was
appointed by the state and he cameon to take charge of 'the investigation.
On Thursday evening, a weekafter the crime, Gerald Holmesdrove his new car out the road towards his mother’s farm. It wasearly, nevertheless it was quite dark.
As he crossed the bridge at theItalian settlement he’noticed that
his right headlight suddenly wentout, just as it had gone out a weekpreviously at this precise point. To-
night he did what he had done othat other occasion; he stopped, go
out, and went around to the Ironof the car to investigate. Geralidid not pretend to much knowledg
of automobiles, but this coincidenceit seemed to him, proved precise 1what he had told the dealer; to witthere \sas a loose electric conncction somewhere and a certain sor
of jar destroyed the contact, dislocated something or other. Tindealer had promised to have it fixec
but—well, this was a sample of hi>work. Fine way to turn out abrand-new car, even a cheap oneGerald shook the lamp gentlybut it appeared to be rigidly at
tached to its support and the bulbdid not relight. He was afraid to
shake it too hard, for fear of pullingit off—this was no rugged, handmade, foreign car. Then he fingeredaimlessly at the wire beneath thelamp, but that, too, was disappoint
ingly secure. He reasoned that thewire must run in under the hoou
of the machine and somewhere attach itself to a battery or a dynamoor a generator or something, so he
stepped back, lifted the bonnet, andpeered inside. He could make out
very little indeed, even with theaid of a match, and recognized
nothing that could by any possibility be considered a dynamo or anelectric lighting plant. The vitalorgans of an automobile, it seemedto him, were unnecessarily compli
cated; he would have consideredmany of them utterly useless except
for the fact that here and there“things” were revolving. He quicklydiscovered several wires, any one oiwhich might be the cause of histrouble, so, striking a second, then
a third match, he gingerly testedthem. He had not gone far when
lie uttered a grunt and jerked hishand away, incidentally bumpinghis elbow against something sharp
and hard. Automobiles are full ofpainful corners. He dropped the
match and swore, whereupon heheard subdued laughter and throughthe gloom discovered a couple offigures near by."Do you fellows know anything
about automobiles?” he inquired.There came an answer in Italian,
so he confessed, ruefully: “Well,neither do I. I can drive ’em, butI can’t fix 'em.”
He closed the bonnet, passed backthrough the glare of his good head
light, and, stepping into the car,drove on. It was a relief to notethat the car ran as well with onelight as with two. Some car! Thislittle buggy might have her faults,
but lie loved her, just the same. Itwas the first automobile he had ever
possessed and his pride of ownership was inordinate, for it represented a terrible extravagance. Itwas a lovely shade oi blije, too, theparticular shade he adored, and he
would have immensely enjoyedshowing it to his mother. That,
however, was impossible. He couldnever make her understand. Invol
untarily, he fetched a deep sigh andshook his head.
Instead of proceeding on past the
poultry farm and parking his. machine in the grove near the entrance
to the Ethridge lane, as he had donea week previously, he turned inthrough a break in the fence beforereaching the farm, and killed hismotor under a wide-spreading tree.
It was barely possible that the police might be watching the scene ofthe tragedy, and in any event it was
not a nice place to be on a darknight. Gerald hated dark colors,
dark nights, dark deeds, and thethought of what had occurred aweek ago tonight in that lane, half
a mile ahead, gave him a sick feeling. He felt jumpy as he set out
across the open pasture land towards the lights of his mother’scottage, and more than once he cast
apprehensive glances back of himor stopped to listen.
Soon the familiar outlines of
chicken houses and runs appeared,then a dog barked. It was Jack,
the old Airdale. The dog recognizedGerald’s voice and greeted him with
extravagant affection when theyoung man dropped down inside thefence. Mrs. Holmes had heard the
disturbance; she opened the kitchendoor and ‘peered out, inquiringguardedly:
"Is that ydu, Jerry?”‘‘Hello, mother!” Gerald entered
and closed the door behind him,then stooped to kiss the woman’supturned lips. When his face was.within a hand’s breadth of hers hechecked the movement and cried,
reproachfully. “Oh, mother!"Mrs. Holmes answered petulantly:
"Very well! Don’t kiss me if youdon't want to. But for Heaven’s sakedon’t^sutrt in with a temperance lec
ture !’’ There was a moment ofsilence, then: "You don’t understand
what it is to live all alone, in a placelike this. You're never lonesome.You have people to talk to. You
see things and hear things—''. "AH right, .mother. I won’t lec
‘Is that you, Jerry?” she asked.
ture. But you know how I feelbout-drinking.*’ The young man
lent his head and pressed his lipso the woman’s cheek.
"When did you get back fromChicago?”
"Today. This afternoon.”
"Have a good trip?”
"Yes. They liked my drawings
ind gave me some more work. I.rot a new story to illustrate, too.
But—I was all broken up over themurder, of course! I left here thenext morning, you remember? I
didn’t hear of it until that afternoon—then just the bare account. Gee!
It was a shock. I felt as if I oughtto get on the train and come rightback. I wanted to be here for the
funeral, too, but—I couldn’t get mymoney in time and 1 didn't dare try
to borrow from that editor.”Mrs. Holmes smiled faintly, almost sneeringly. “The funeral wentoff all right without you.”“You don’t understand how I felt
towards Mr. Ethridge. You neverliked him. after what he did for me,but I did, for he gave me my start;
made it possible for me to have acareer. Not many rich men would
interest themselves in a ragged, obscure young—”“In the son of a 'goose woman!’ ”Mrs. Holmes broke in. “Of courseyou read the papers and saw whatthey called me?’’Gerald flushed. "Yes. Yes, Iread—everything.*’
“The rotters! Well, you’re notragged now, are you?” Mrs. Holmes
stared at her son, and in her gaze,oddly enough, there were both pride
and resentment. As an artist shehated Gerald, as a man she—well,
he was her son, blood of her blood.What she beheld was a handsomeyouth—a boy of sufficient good
looks and charm of manner to warm -any mother’s heart. Gerald’s face
was frank and sunny; it was unusually expressive, too, but curtained with that veil of conscious
repression common to supersensitivepeople; it was the eager, dreamyface of an artist, a writer, a musician. The boy’s faults and his weak-qcsscs, Mary Holmes well knew,
were the faults and the weaknessesof most dreamers.
She had never dared to analyzevery closely her feelings for thischild of hers—it is doubtful if she
would have succeeded very well hadshe tried—for ever since she had
nursed him-at her breast he hadroused within her emotions that violently clashed. There were times
when he filled her with a greatsatisfaction, a sublime contentment,thi-ti again times when she hatedhim fiercely—yes, hated him! Therewere occasions when she lavished
upon him a sort of savage affection—these occasions were rare, by theway—and again occasions when shetreated him with a cruelty that waspositively feline. Nearly always,
however, her feelings were mixedand he excited that distressing war
fare within her bosom. He was atonce her comfort and her torture,her blessing* and her bane. '
“Gee! It gave me a fright torealize that I hadn’t been gone fromhere for half an hour—an hour atmost—when it happened,” Geraldwent on. “Why, I might have been
involved in it!""Yoh? Nonsense! Whoever killed.Ethridge drove up iu an automobile
and left it standing in that pinegrove across from the lane.. I saw
the tracks the next morning.’*Young Holmes started: he eyed hismother apprehensively. "By the
way, you must have met Mr. Ethridge on your way back to town?’’“N-no!"
“You ifiuH have met him. Youcouldn’t have had time to walk tc
the end of the street-car line before ♦he came along. It didn’t seem to
me you’d been gone ten minuteswhen I heard his car pass and thenthe shots. Of course, it was longerthan that—"
"Have you talked to the police?”
"Certainly! They questioned me .the morning of the murder andthey’ve been here a couple of time*since.”
“Did you—tell them about those
—those automobile tracks? I suppose of course they noticed them?"Mrs. Holmes nodded. "Sure!
You couldn’t miss them—they wereas plain as the nose on your face.”
"Have they formed any suspicions?”

A most successful banquet washeld by the Big Eight Society in thel.O.O.F. hall Wednesday evenng,November 2nd. The attendance numbered about fifty, including members
and guests. Following a very fine
supper, catered to by members of
Princess Louise Circle Companions of
the Forest, the president of the so
ciety, J. Ferris David, took charge of
> the evening’s program which was
, featured by an address from Major
1 Gordon J. Ingram of London, vice-
’ chairman of the Board of Directors
‘ Queen Alexandra Sanitarium, Byron,
, and chairman of the Christmas Seal
Committee of the London Health
i Association, the organization oper
ating the Sanitarium.
His Worship, Mayor Alex. H.
Edmonds, a guest at the banquet,
spoke briefly, on behalf of the town
council and extended to the out-of-
town visitors a hearty welcome to
Ingersoll. The president of the Ing
ersoll Kiwanis Club, Elmer J. Chis
holm, brought greetings to the Big
Eight, from his organization.
Postmaster S. A. Gibson, president
of the Big Eight Society when it was
first organized, and who headed the
affairs of the society for over twelve
years, reviewed the activities of tho
Big Eight since its formation in 1917
to send baskets to the men from this
district who were serving overseas.
Mr. Gibson also introduced the guest
speaker, Major Ingram, fo the gath
ering, explaining that the Major was
actively interested in several organ
izations having the welfare of the
people of Western Ontario at heart
These included, in addition to Queen
Alexandra Sanitarium, the Board of
Governors of the University of Wes
tern Ontario, the Western Fair Board
and the London Chamber of Com
mence.
Major Ingram in opening his ad
dress, explained that the Queen
Alexandra Sanitarium at Byron was
conceived by the late Sir Adam Beck
in 1909. It was a Western Ontario
Institution, taking in all the coun
ties of Western Ontario and had
made rapid developments from its
first inception. The speaker said the
death rate from tuberculosis in Can
ada had decreased from 180 deaths
per 100,000 in 1901 to 130 per 100,-
000 in 1936 during the 35 year per
iod, while during the same time in
the city of London, the decrease had
teen from 61.3 persons to 39.3. The
work of the Sanitorium was attrib
uted as the reason for this decrease,
and Major Ingram held that the in
stitution filled a very important place
in the community. When it was first'
epened on April Sth, 1910 there was
accommodation for 43 while at the
present time the capacity is 600 beds.
In giving a synopsis of the de
velopment of the Sanitorium, Major
Ingram mentioned that it was locat
ed on the bluffs outside the village
of Byron and the property consisted
of 163 acres. There had_only been
two presidents of the institution, Sir
Adam Beck from 1910 to his death
in 1925 and Col. Ibbotson Leonard,
from that time to the present, and
Mr. H. E. Gates is the only surviving
member of the original board of dir
ectors formed 29 years ago.
A description of the various build
ings and the-names of those contrib
uting to their construction were men
tioned. Theispeaker pointed out that
a very successful farm was operated
on the grounds. The stack on the
farm at the present time included
128 head of cattle, 167 pigs, and
over 300 hens. Large quantities of
good fresh food were required each
day including pnre milk and 200
dozen of eggs.
Considerable emphasis was placed
on the work being done by the Sani
torium to try and prevent tubercul
osis. Chest clinics are conducted reg
ularly throughout the district, one
being held each month at-'Aexandra
Hospital here. Tne'Sanitorium sends
a doctor and nurses to Ingersoll as
well as several other towns and cit
ies each month to examine cases and
’ make a careful study and report
During the time the clinics have been
in operation, over 44,000 persons
have been examined Mr. Ingram
said.
In concluding his talk, the speaker
mentioned that" the clinics were
; made possible from the returns from
the sale of Christmas seals through; Western Ontario, each year. The
history of the Christmas seal from
the idea conceived by a Postmaster
in Denmark in 1903, was traced
briefly up to the present time. In
Canada alone, it was pointed out,
over $1,000,000 had been raised
from the sale of seals since the idea
was first started by the Muskoka
Free Hospital for Consumptives.
■ Major Ingram said seals would be
sent to Ingersoll this year, as form
erly, and those buying them should
do so with the feeling that they
were making a contribution towards
Mr. W. Gardner and Mr. and Mrs.Vatter of Sandusky, Mich., who havebeen visitors with the former’s niece,Miss I. Dorland, and other relatives
in this vicinity, have returned home.
The Public Library Board held ameeting on Tuesday evening, whenreports on recent improvements .wereheard and other business transacted.

1939 Cars fteady for Auto Shows;Have New Beauty, Many Features
— Be prepared tobe very unhappy with your oldauto—the new cars are all ready
to make their 1939 bow at theannual auto shows. And whatwonders they are this year—styledto win the hearts of your women
folk, and boasting new featureswhich will urge you to reach foryour checkbook.The motor makers deliberately
set out to make you unhappy withyour old “bus.” Singlehanded theynave turned the country back toward prosperity several times bycreating products which were sodesirable the public just wouldn’tdo without them. They've done thesame thing with the 1939 models.
There is a new style motif,
created of pleasant flowing lines,
as the top picture shows. The new
cars are so perfectly styled thatthey look like they are movingeven when parked. Narrower radi
ator grille, "catwalk cooling,"
lights in the fenders, wider seats,
more leg room, automatic tuningradios, gear shifters on the steering posts and engines with hurricane power are some of the new
things.
Probably the most important
1939 development is the “WeatherEye” conditioned air system forwinter driving. It brings June tothe automobile in January, and
(Pictures courtesy Nash Motors)
all winter long, and does it auto
matically. You can drive as coolas you want, or hot enough towear a bathing suit when it’s zerooutside, as the pretty model aboveis doing.This new system breathes in as
much as 800 cubic feet of fresh,outside air a minute, and conditions it. Drafts -are eliminated,there is no dirt or dust, and to
bacco smoke is whisked out of thecar as If by magic. You set the
dial, as the bathing beauty aboveis doing, and the system does allthese things automatically.Auto makers are looking for agood year, and we think you’llagree that they deserve one.

(Experimental Farm News)
In common practice on the aver
age Canadian farm, late September
or the month of October is the time
the new crop of pullets is housed in
preparation for their first year’s pro
duction, states B. F. Tinney, assist
ant to Superintendent, Dominion
Experimental Station, Charlottetown.
Before the birds are taken off
range, however, it is necessary, in
the interest of the comfort and gen
eral health of the birds, as well as
the convenience of the operator, to
give the poultry premises a thor
ough and systematic overhauling.
A start should be made with the
elimination of all older stock that is
not to be carried over the winter.
If the farmer depends on the pur
chase of day-old chicks for flock re
newal, this may possibly mean the
disposal of all stock in the plant. If
breeders are to be retained, they
should be separated from the laying
stock if sufficient space is available.
Having removed surplus stock, at
tention should be centered on the
premises. If portable panel fencing
in used, the hurdles may be removed
and stored for the winter. Runways
nmy be limed and ploughed. If
convenient, remove all loose fittings
such as nests, roosts, drop boards,
from the house and expose them to
die bright sun for several days. They
should first, of course, be cleaned of
all dust and litter. Scrape and sweep
floors, and sweep walls and ceilings.
After cleaning is completed, apply a
good lime wash to every part of the
interior of the house. Disinfectants
may be added to the wash, if con
sidered advisable. .
Incidentally, a spray pump is the
most satisfactory method of'white
washing as it is then possible to
drive the material into all cracks or
seams. Apply a thorough coat of
white wash to the fittings, nests,
roosts, etc., before they are returned
to place.
Stop any drafts, such as open
seams, knot holes, etc., and replace
broken window glass and any torn
cotton in the ventilating sashes.
Put in a'good stapply of fresh,
clean litter, and your house is ready
for the birds whenever they are,
brought in from range.
Word was received here of the
death in Detroit, Michigan, on Wed
nesday morning, November 9th, of a
former Ingersoll resident, in th? per
son of John Devlin. For many years,
previous to leaving Ingersoll, de
ceasca operated a blacksmith shop on
Thames street, where Borland’s Ser
vice Station is now located.
The body is to be brought here on
the C. N. R. train Friday and will
rest at the Preston T. Walker Funer
al Home, King street west, until Sat
urday morning. The funeral service
will be held in the Church of the
Sacred Heart, Saturday morning at
8.30 o'clock, with interment in the
R. C. Cemetery.
When scrubbing the back, scour
across from side to side and then
diagonally downward from shoulder
to waistline from left to right and
from right to left. Thia combines
cleansing with beneficial massage
and exercise for the muscles of the
shoulders and upper back.
Fortunately for feminine beauty,
we cannot always believe our eyes.
It is a well-known fact that eyes play
tricks on their owners. Straight lines
arranged in certain patterns appear
curved. Lines of exactly the same
length appear longer or shorter ac
cording to the direction of intersect
ing lines.
Thanks to all this, short dumpy
women and tall, skinny ones can give
themselves better seeming propor
tions by wearing clothes with the
proper lines to trick the eye, and by
finding the coilfures and make-up
tricks that help Along the illusion
they wish to create.
We aren’t all built alike
the dieting and exercise
world, cannot change certain physical
proportions.
Some are, born with short necks
and others with necks that arc much
too long for real beauty, but luckily
for those of us who are not lovely
enough to be artist’s models, any
rieck that carries the head well, that
it firm and strong can give a proud,
youthful effect. It can even seem
pretty if you know the right tricks.
If your neck is a trifle short but
otherwise firm and nicely shaped,
learn to stretch it as tall as possible.
Walk, stand and sit as though unseen
hands were holding your head pudd
ly and pulling your neck gently from
your shoulde/s.
See if your profile will permit you
to wear one of the high coiffures.
Properly trimmed, waved and train
ed, a high coiffure can round out
uninteresting contours at the back of
the head and fullness or flatness in
certain spots can do a lot to balance
a nose that is not perfect in propor
tions. And the unswept hair will
make your neck appear much longer.
If you wear your hair down, choose
a short bob, worn fluffy and brushed
up from your neck. Increase the fair
line of your throat further by wear
ing V or rather low-cut U or diagonal
necklines. A long necklace with a
pendant reaching to the bust/will
flatter Jou. A collar that flares out
from your neck and slopes to a point
in front will also slenderize.
Upturned hat brims are better for
you than hats that come down over
your'eyes or cover your ears. Your
make-up ahoi^d also help to focus
the eye high arid-away from your
full throat, so put rouge high on
your cheekbones and circle it slightly
upward toward your temples. Length
en your lashes with mascara and use
an oil or light-toned shadow on your
eyelids.
