Honty stopped what he was do- ing. Then came those soft couinil notes again. Mrs. Hooty was say- ing nothing. She made no reply- liooty stopped cooing and once more began to bow, and go through all sorts of queer and funny antics. At the same time he was jabbering to her.

"He must be sick. thought Peter. ”If he isnit. what ails him? I never saw anything so silly. I wonder what Mrs. Hooty thinks of him?"

As yet, Peter hadn't really gues- sed what it all really meant. Hooty was sick. but not from anything he had eaten. He was what is called love-sick. He was trying to show Mrs Hooty how much he loved her. He had a funny way of showing it. But love

Strange But True

By P. ll. MacArthur

Kiiui.-king on wood. is the most common of 80.000 superstitions, ac- cording to Dr. Judd Marmar. Uni- versity of California.

A good case of camouflage was done at Banff. Alberta, when mo- tion picture technicians. sprayed white paint on a mountain to make it look like a glacier!

A single lemon co 32.50 in Warsaw. Poland. E cost 330.00 a dozen and a small package at instant coffee costs the housewife 831.00. -

Here are a few hard facts about b

man's life span: Primitive man lived on an average of only 18 years. in that period known an Early Roman. it had climbed to 22 years. By 1850, 37 years. Today it IS about 68 and still going up.

But man's life span does not keep moving up in every part of thepcarth. Take, for example. the ancient Egyptians who lived 29 years compared with the modern Egypttanis 28.6.

Scientists claim man could and should live to be 120.

Now back to statistics: Married

men live longer than bachelors, college men longer than non-col- lcge men, professionals and farm- ers outlive skilled workers and skilled workers outlive unskilled. - The outstanding Oidster of mod- ern times was Denmark's Christian .Jakobsen who died in 1772. En- slaved by Algerians at 68. he made his eccape 15 years later and join- ed the Danish navy. He married when he was Ill. He retired at the age of 140 and died six years later.

24 iiiiiiiitls of cleansing com- pounds per year are used by the average Canadian home for each member of the family.

A seeing-eye dog is serving a year's sentence in New Orleans be- cause his blind master got a like senteiire for writing a bad che- que.

The more enthusiasm you can :- rouse in yourself the more pro-

is like that. A lot of people often look foolish. silly. But in the eyes of the loved one. they do not look that way at all. Hooty was really showing off.

Perhaps it was no wonder that Peter didn't understand what was going on. You see it was still winter. and it didnt seem possible that any other feathered folk could be thinking of setting up house-keeping yet. Peter should have known that Hooty and Mrs. Hooty every year are the first to begin nesting. If he did know it he had forgotten it After a long time. Hooty and Mrs Hooty flew away. Peter drew a long breath. "I guess I'd better get back to the dear Old Briar-patch." thought

yet kind to your waist cause never rich or filling!
