Wilt Oiissrved Frequently In li.S.
Verticllllum wilt is being ob- served quite frequently in Nova Scotla and the growers are ad- vised to go over their plantings, rogueing out disease specimens, states the Weekly Potato Bulle- tin. Both the plants and the tub- ers should be eliminated.
Lats blight appeared in scatter- ed localities early in July but the dry, warm weather prevented the development of an epidemic. How- ever, the showers and high humi- dities that have characterized the weather during recent days make
it imperative to adhere to the spray schedule. Colorado potato bettle larvae,
flea beetles, aphids and tarnished plant bugs are becoming very numerous and are causing serious damage in unsprayed fields. Reg- ular applications of DDT partl- cularly 2592: emulsion will keep them under control. In Nova Scotia tarnished plant bugs are very abundant and a double strength DDT is recommended for this area.

In the Tower of London. on the upper shelf of one of the cases is a row of heims and helmets that are forgeriea. Bought for a na- tional collectlon about 1853 they were considered valuable examples of ancient armour. so you see, the museums are not entirely free from the presence of forgeries.
some swords have a fascinating and amazing history. In the Royal United Service Museum there are many that are worth seeing by reason of their historical associa- tions. I shall mention but one here which bears the following in- scription: "Sword of Admiral Villeneuve, commander - in - chief of the combined fleets of France and Spain. surrendered to Lord Collingwood at the battle off Cape Trafalgar, Oct. 21. 1805. It was offered to Cgpt. Atcherley, of the Marines. Atc erley refused to accept it, and took Villeneuve and his boat that he might surrender to Capt. Pellew. Admiral Vill- eneuve. having been taken prison- er, was sent to England, where he was detained until May 3, I806."
Medals were known to the an- cients. The Greeks for instance, have left us many interesting specimens which have found their way to museums. but strange to soy none of them were given as recompense for military bravery. The ordinary soldier of those ear- ly days had no status, and receiv- ed no rewards, while the leaders were presented with bracelets, neck chains, crowns of laurel for the services they rendered.
Queen Elizabeth first thought of giving medals to British fight- ing men, and it was the crews of the ships which sailed out to meet the Armada that received them.
. . . .
The first medals given to the army were struck by Charles I. l'I'he first of these went to Sir l,Robcrt Welsh. an officer in the Royalist Cavalry for conspicuous bravery on the field of battle. It .is interesting to note that these lcarly medals were worn suspend- led around the neck, or fixed brooch-like in the hat. , The first British medal given to every member of the fighting forces was the Dunbar medal. This decoration was struck in 1650 in two sizes, a. small gold piece for officers and a large copper one for the ranks. But each bore the same design. namely, Crom- ncll's profile and the inscription ,”Word, at Dunbar. The Lord of ll-losts, Septem V. 8. I650." The traverse side showed parliament in full assembly.
From that day to this many medals have been struck most of which have been awarded to men for personal service or conspicu- ous bravery while in action.
The most coveted of all such awards is the Victoria Cross, in- stituted by Royal Warrant of Jan. 29, 1856 during the Crimean War. It was formerly made of old can- non captured in the campaign against the Russians. The rib- bon is crlinson for the army and blue for the navy. The V.C. carries with it an annuity of 10 ,pounds (for privates). If the 'medal is sold during the life-time of the recipient the pension can be withdrawn and if the ,ossessor is convicted in a civil or military court for any major crime. the same punishment may be enforced thereafter.
”It is ordained that any one having received the cross and shall again perform an act of bravery which, if he had not received such cross, would have a bar attached to the ribbon by which the cross is hung, and for every additional act of bravery an additional bar may be added.”
The brave deeds which have been rewarded by grants of the V.C. make thrilling reading, but in a column of this kind I can- not recount any of them. How- ever, I can "refer interested read- crs to Mr. D. Hastings Irwin's book "War Medals and Decora- tions."

It seems hard to believe that shoe buckles once made the gen- ltleman of fashion. They were much worn during the last half lot the 17th and the whole of th i8th century. and enormous sum were spent on them. For instance, the Count of St. Germain spent a ” able fortune on buckles. This bit of vanity went out of fashion when under the Republic of France finances were at a low ebb. one country town sent as its contribution all the silver and gold shoe buckles it could come by. The embers of the National Assembly followed suit. '
other buckles of the 18th un- tury which are of interest are the waist buckles, which follow- ed the general fashion of the shoe buckles fairly closely, except that they differed in shape as well as, in size.
Buckles are to be found made of nearly every metal. The earliest are steel or brass. It is when we come to the lath century that we find variety and beauty of de- sign. The richest of all, were made of silver, set with diamonds.

Given in marriage by her fa- ther, the bride was wearing a gown ol feather while taffeta
fashioned with a fitted basque. The square neckline was offset by heavy guipure lace, while the full skirt featured unpreued pleats and ended in a sweeping train. Her fingertip veil of tulle illus- ion was caught to a taffeta wedge cap, and she carried a crescent bouquet of Sweetheart roses.
Her attendant, Miss Vera Lyon: of Barrie, was wearing a dress of pink net over iaffeia with a sweetheart neckline, and matching pink net headdress. Her flowers were pink roses and blue Esther Reid mums.
Donald Griffith of Toronto was groomsman and Howard Patter- son and Donald Sellwood acted as ushers.
A reception was held at Crowe's Inn. The bride's mother received in navy summer crepe with lace. with a matching navy hat and n ' red rose corsnge. She was assist- ed by the groom's cousin, Mrs Gordon Boty of Burlington, in pale blue sheer with matching accessories and wearing a red rose corsage.
For a boat cruise to Fort Wil- liam the bride chose a t,eal bluc suit with champagne and tan ac- rt-ssories. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Barbour will "he making their home in Toronto. Out-of- town guests were from Prince

War postage stamps date back to the middle of the 16th cen- tury, and we read where Johann Van Taxis received permission to carry letters from civilians in Ger- many to members of the German expeditionary force than fighting in Italy. The postage marks which this person applied to the letters entrusted to his care can- stitute tb first war postage stamps of which we have any record.
Of British war stamps, probably the earliest are those which came to England on the letters written by the soldiers who fought in the Crimea.

wonderful person. VVe all got along beautifully. He has been mar- ried for two years to a girl we scarcely know. We seldom sen hcr anti, though we are all anxious to know her, any attempt we make to visit is frustrated. My brother asks us to visit them, but we must telephone before we go--and. since they have no phone, it's rather difficult to comply with his request. We have asked them to visit us, but they are always busy. All the rest of the family are on exlrcmc- ly friendly terms, and I'd like to include my brother and sister-in-lnw in our circlc, too, but am so constantly rebuffed in my nllcmpis to be friendly that I'm getting discouraged. MRS. A. D.
ANSWER: Your letter stamps you as suc.h a kind, friendly per- son that I know your sister-in-law is the loscr in refusing your over- iurcs. Either she is too sclf-conscious to welcome visiting (which I doubt). or a chronic anilsncialite who would not be an asset in any family circle. well give up and direct your own kindllncss into more responsive channels.
DEAR MISS DIX: I have a boy friend overscas who writes mc rnrnly. I like him very much and as a result do not cnjoy the com- pany of other boys. This boy has been gone a year, during which I have received three letters. DIXIE T
ANSWER: You are pinning altogether too much hope on what is to the boy merely a pleasant friendship. If he cared for you at all, he surely would have written more frequently ihnn he has. Your avoidance of other boys is very foolish, and the sooner you got into
circulation, the better.
