The herbalists of old had other uses tor it too. for they made a. concoction of it to treat bruises and sprains. .

In the sixteenth century it was customary for mourners at a fun- oral to carry sprays of Rosemary. and for wedding guests to wear it Crowns and garlands were made nf- rooseinary for weddings. and sometimes it was gilded for this purpose. or dipped in scented water.

THY PEOPLE. MY PEOPLE by Elisabeth Hoeinberg; J. M. Dent; 53.50. '

This unusual book should be read by everyone who is interested in what is going on in Germany today. The author is a Oanadian girl. graduate of Toronto Univers- ity, who married a cultured cler- man writer after she had done con- siderable travelling in France and Germany. She went with him to Germany in 1938 and there the war overtook them ..and her hus- band was called up to the Luft- waffe. He did office work through- out the war and bitterly i need the entire Nazi regime. At the close of hostilities he was captured and kept a prisoner for a considerable period.

The book is the story of what happened to Elisabeth after she went to Germany. She did not like the ruling clique from the start and she, as well as her husband, kept journals in which they re- corded all happenings having any effect on their lives. The author has used extracts from the journ- als and letters which she and her husband wrote during the period 1940 to 1946 when he was ieleased. Here is a frank account of what it was like to be a civilian in Ger- many during World War 2. She had her two children as ompany and solace during her husband's absence, and was never quite sure of the friendliness of hen: neigh- bors. she endured the l ”

Strange But True-'1

By I-. an Miwnrtiiu: '

Jacob Astor came to U. B. A. from Germany at the age of 20. and settled in New York. sixteen. years later he could writo his cheque for 510.0(1) and this was but a mere fraction of his wealth when he died. . . . stated briefly. this is Wesley's rule for living: "Make all the money you can; save all you can; give all you can." . . ..W'hen Napoleon was told that the Alps blocked the advance of his soldiers, he said, 'Then there shall be no Alps," and built a. road across the simplon.

. . A college graduate often possesses a poor education. while many. a. self-made man is better fitted for the duties od life. Take, for example, George Washington. He was one of the best educated

men of Revolutionary times. though many wn-e better schol- ars than he. . And Abra-

ham Idnooln could boast of a bet- ter education at 'thlrty than three-fourths of our collegians when they are graduated.

Slr Waltor Scott and Schiller loved storms. often they would climb trees to watch the artillery of heaven. . . . Stephen Gir- ard, the celebrated millionaire of

Philadelphia, had the touch of Midas for every enterprise that he undertook added irapidly to his wealth. Abraham Lin-

coln was a farmer, tool maker. teamster. trader, merchant, school teacher. lawyer, member of the legislature. commander of a com- pany in the "Black Hawk War." a congressman, and. finally became President of the U. S. A. all within thirty years from the time he quitied pioneering for a wider field. . . The celebrated Dre. Chalmers and Barrow were dull,

which became frightful, the short- age of food and the domination of the Nazis. The whole has been put together with remarkable skill and makes a book the reader will not easily forget.

After the fighting was over and her village captured. the author became an interpreter for the

and her experiences in that capac- ity gave her new ideas of the Al- lied policy. which imposed condit- ions that were rather severe. while the behavior of the troops of oc- cupation left much to be desired. Because she was British she was shocked by the way the victors tried to enforce democracy by mil- ltary strength, just as Hitler had tried to enforce his ideas. she ex- presses her sympathy. however, for the many men and officers who tried to make tolerable a system they knew themselves to be intol- erabie.

It is a most revealing story and makes one really; more fully the brutal futility of war, the wrong

throughthe devilish conduct of a few. one thing the book shows- thnt people are much the same the

can happen to any country and very often they happen when we think them impossible. A handful of evil lien in power can cause suffering beyond calculation. This has been shown us-many times in this century and it will be a trsfic thing indeed if we can find no remedy for such cases.
