Princess Elizabeth received -the honorary degree of doctor of laws from the University of Edinburgh. "Ours is a tremendous responsibil- ityu" she said in her speech of acknowledgement. “We have been horn in times when great institu- tions have crumbled. age-old tra- ditions have been called in question and science has produced horrors to keep pace \vith its marvels. if we hope to see our children grow up in tolerable conditions. and if peace and prosperity are to drive out the spectres of war and want, we must rely vcry largely on the ser- vices of those who have had the advantages of an education such as yours."

Princess Margaret visited Scot- land Yard- in the line of duty. The princess, who will he 19 in August. toured the famous police headquaJ- ers as part of her “education pro- gram."

Queen Mary and her daughter. ‘the Princess Royal, were mistaken for new probation officers by par- vngs ‘n an East London juvenile court. The parents didn't know the Queen and Princess were on a sur- prise visit to the court. The Queen watched through a lorgnette. She looked distressed as a 12-year-old girl was accused of forcing another girl. four. to sit on a cooling hot- fplatc. The case was withdrawn he- rause all the younger child would say was: "Lets go home. mummy." The royal visitors laughed with the rest at a nine-ycar-old boy who the previous week had asked to he sent 1o an approved school. "Please. sir." the boy said. "l have changed fmy mind and don‘t want to go this sveek."

Threaded one after another. much as grand-daughter collects her col- ored heads or buttons on a string. so this week of days has been add- ed one by one to those which havv gone before, and now make up past months and years. Quite as varied too are the shadings, made up now with the bright glowing colors of the happier hours and again with the more sombre shades. which rc- fiect-only lifc‘s concerns.

So they conic to us at Aldcrlea. to James and me, and the others of the family. the sunny days and those when momentary alarms or sadncssjor a time obscures the erstwhile brightness. but which when safely past returns us once more to our usual contented and busy round. "Keep your face turn- ed always towards the sunshine, so that the shadows will fall behind you!" is the cheerful message on n card, now yellowed with age. which belonged on a wall in this old house years before m_v coming. It. is, we tell ourselves. only a card, and yet allowed still to remain in place so that all who chance to look upon it may read and absorb well the kindly counsel there.

How Can I

Q. How can I easily clean a fry- ing pan that has been used for onions or fish?

A. Soak it during the meal with a. strong solution of ammonia and water. This will take away the odor, and the pan will wash readily.

Q. How can I prevent spatter- ing when frying eggs?

A. Add a gencrous pinch of flour to the grease and stir. just before putting iii the eggs to fry; this will prevent the usual spatter- lng of grease.

Q. How can l clean windows without. using water? A. Instead of using vr-ater on

windows. try using a cloth dipped in ammonia. and whiting. and then polish with a chamois.

SOME ELDERLY mun AND worms NEED uxrna VITAMINS

It is agreed ,that the dismvery of vitamins was a great advance from the standpoint of nutrition, and lack of vitamins exiplains some of the symptcms of which many erm- plain. By adding vitamins to the

daily food intake. the symptoms disappear. However. our nutrition experts

explain that. there would be little need for extra vitamins if we at»: enough of ,ihe usual everyday foods. never failing to use some of the protective foods — dairy pro- duce and green vegetables daily. This appiics. of course, to normal. healthy individuals. What about men and wcmen as they grow cider. Should they eat extra vitamins daily? In so far as getting the proper amounts and kinds of foods. in- cluding the vitamins. it has been found that. the diet of the great majority includes all necessary focd stuffs, including vitamins. .Yet many cctirplain of weakness and of becoming easily tired. Why? . In "Geriatrics“ (treatment of the aged). l)rs. Henry A. Rafsky and Bernard Nevmian. New Yozk City. review their experience with a number of elderly men‘ and women who were eating enough of the various foods. which containcd ens-ugh oi‘ all the vitamins yet. showed symptoms cf a vita-rninosis —lack of vitamins. , In searching for an explanation as to why these elderly men and WCtfIXBTl, eating adequate diets yvrith the necessary amounts of vitamins, had symptoms due to lack of vita- mins. it was found that some noi- nial aged persons show evidence of liver disiurbancrs. when we think of all the jobs the liver has to do in the body. it is not. hard to understand why the liver may al- low some vitamins to be lost. to the blood or why the liver does not. enable the body to make full use of the vitamins contained in the food eaten. The fact remains that the diet. of elderly persons should in- clude extra vitamins daily.

Vitamin B 0r B complex should be one of the extra vitamins given daily,

The Stars Say--

By Genevieve Kembls msoo-Q-oo-Qoo-Qq

For Sunday, ltlarch l3 SUNDAYS horoscope holds au- gury of a false move .ba.d judgment, inertia or other interference disas- trously blocking the whee-ls of prog- iess. already “roll-established on most promising foundations. Either iaok of energy. nervous tension or other static or crystailizing situ- ation could undermine cherished plans. A biundering mind, or ob- scure reasoning, could be the det- rimental influence to upset 0r per- manently thwart desired hopes and wishes. Postpone vital decisions. until the way seems clearer.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it. is. may be- called upon to make important decisions. in which vital issues are at stake. There may be obstacles to be astutely handled. and yet. the mentality may be slow, nerves taut or the physical conditions not. quite up to the desired mark for clevvr manipulation. There may be a stup- born development to arrest easy going of plans well on the way. It might be advisable to take a period of rest. relaxation or diversion, so that time may assist in unravelling difficulties. Meantime sutnmon health aind marshal all assets and rosourccs tangible as well as men- tal or spiritual.

A child born on this day, may be handicapped by a. _ feeble or static state of mind and energies. Atten- tion to a physical lack may foster sound and workable mental equip- ment. and initiative. ‘

For Monday, March ll MONDAYS astrological forecast indicates that while the ambitions. aspirations and plans seems to en- courage an expansive and far- reaching development - oi’ aoorpt! and magniture, yet it. may be dif! ficult. to sidestep blocks. impedi- ments. _wrong tactics and lifnited resources. There maysbe either de- finite opposition all along the linB. or there may be pressures and ten- sions difficult to whip into cou- struciiire channels. Higher ups may be laggard on coming across with need of olpitll or influence. Per- sonal relations may explode in some untforseen manner. But in all crises. refrain from forced issues or "fly - ofl - the - handle" procedures. Safeguard all resources, possessions and cbntacta.
