MISS DIX-You say in a recent article that the way to break off an undesirable match is by the use of diplomacy. will you explain llovr? AN ANXIOUS On the theory that an ounce of experience is worth a ton of theory. I will cite some cases that I have ‘known in which parents have prevented their children from making matches that they knew would inevitably end in misery and divorce. Fur- thermore, they alienated their youngsters from the objects of their temporary infatuation so deftly and painlessly that they never knew that mother and father had had a hand in it and attributed their es- cape to their own good sense and judgment. As Exhibit A I present for your consideration the case of Mrs. B. Mrs. BJs daughter was madly in love with a fascinating youth addicted to drink, and . . , . the foolish girl felt that it would be romantic and v unnclcrful to reform him by marrying him. Mrs. B. pointed out in vain to her daughter the dangers and difficulties of a woman trying to make I1 K991i’ cure of herself. Also that the prescription seldom worked. And when this failed she sent her daughter. to visit in a home in which the hus- band came home soused about five nights a week. l What argument had failed to accomplish. the object lesson did ' Seen at close range, the role of the drunkard’s wife was not appealing. and it didn't take the girl long to decide that she" wouldn't care to sit up night M. ter night waiting for the drag of a stumbling footstep and that there was nothing romantic about helping a maudlin, intoxicated man who was blsflrv-eved. and dirty. and repulsive to get to bed. where he could sleep off his stupor. The next exhibit is Mrs. C. who tried pretty much the same tactics upon her daughter, who was enamored of one of these temperamental geni- uses wllo spend their tlrnc trying to find themselves, instead of’ hunting a job. and who cannot bring themselves to do any such sordid ‘thing as real work. So Mrs. C. sent her daughter to visit in a home where the wife 1nd in- vited his soul. 1 , Sally C., not being an utter fool even if she was in love. was ‘warned in time to save herself from becoming a. meal ticket to a male parasite. The next exhibit is Mrs. D. whose daughter Maud was stumbling ‘into allove affair with a chap who was all right morally, but who had a. hate- ful, cantankerous disposition, and who was n. good deal of a tlghtwad. One of the steadies, you know, who never spend a nickel on a. girl if they can help it: who spend their evenings camped on a girl's chair listening in on the radio; who think it so much nicer to eat her mother's good din- ners than to take her out to a restaurant. and. who make the kind of hus. bands who snoop in the ice box. and ask their wives what they did with . the quarter they gave them week before last. So Mrs. D. got busy. and‘ every time she sat down for a little chat with the ..youth with a Yale lock on his pocketbook she would casually and art- lessly mention something about how much money it took to support a girl in these days, and how fond Maud was of fine clothes, and how many dresses and hats she had, and how much silk stockings and crepe de chine lingerie cost. The effect was magical. The close-listed one had no idea of letting himself in for an extravagant wife. He simply faded out of the picture, and Maud doesn't know to this day why he so suddenly cooled_ Off. Then there was Mrs. E. whose son fell in love with a pretty little Dumb Dora who rolled her eyes at him and asked him fool questions,‘ and who didn't have two ideas in her head to rub together. The boy was clever highly educated, fond of reading, and the mother knew that they would be utterly uncongenial, and have nothing in common after their first She didn't waste any . Instead, she invited the" girl to spend a month with them at their sum- mer place, and she left her son to entertain her. She gave the boy undil- ~ ' uted doses 0f;_l_.h6 girl's society, and in a. week he was so bored that he cut short his vacation and fled from her as he would from s pest. - Oh, there are lotsbf ways DOROTHY DIX.

I am only l5, but I am so miser- able that I have been on the verge of committing suicide many times, yet I have nothing to be miserable about. Nothing interests me. Nothing seems worth while. And I see no use in going on living. Carl you sug- gest any remedy for my trouble. TIRED 01v 1.11am ANSWER: Sure, Nothing easier. All that ails you is just being 15. and all that you nerd to do is just to let nature take its course, and in a year or two you will outgrow the morbldness that is nearly always a feature of adolescence. Besides. l5 is about the most uncertain age there is for a girl. It is a time of life when she doesn't fit in anywhere, when she is neither child nor woman. but an antagonistic blend of the two that keeps her own soul in a state of turmoil and confusion. and that makes her a. terror to her family. . It is a time when it is hard for her to amuse herself because she is too old to play dolls and not old enough to have dates, and when neither Sc. unless her XO-yaar-olders, she is apt to be lonesome and bored, as you are. Yet the way to happiness and to make life worth while when you are 15. or 55, or any other age is the same. It consists in thinking as little , about yourself as possible and as much about other people as you can. You can always find misery if you hunt for it. You can always bor- There is no man or woman so fortunately situated that he or she can't make himself or herself utterly wrecthed by dwelling on the disillusions and disappointments of life, and on the con- trary there are none of us who cannot find something to make whoopee abut if we would only count our blessings. The real secret of happiness is to be found in unselfishness. ‘If you , will get busy trying in be s. little ray of sunshine in your home and doing things for your mother and father and sisters and brothers. you will find l meallng to life, and rlo longer be miserable.

By listeing closely it is often discovered that there is a squeak or noise, usually due to lack of lubrica- tion. When the fan bearing is hard- running it will cause the belt to slip and soon wear out. If the fan belt pulleys are out of alignment, even slightly, or the belt tension is too tight. the belt will not last but l short time. When the belt adjustment has reached its linlit, either cut a short section out of the belt to shorten it, or replaw it with a new one. On the other hand, if there is too much ten- sion on the belt, the pulleys _wlll be drawn out of line with each other and the bearings quickly injured. I1 the tension is tco loose. the driving pulley will tum with out moving the belt. or the belt will turn without moving the fan. Usually these two actions alternate, first one condition existing and then the other. When the fan does not function properly it always means trouble of some kind. To test the tension of the belt, place a hand on the blades and if the blades turn with the weight 0f the hand, it is an indication that the ten- sion is just about right. Should the blades of the fan be- come bent, one cannot reasonably expect the cooling to be efficient, and an abnormal rising in operating temperature will result. It is necess- ary w bend the blades back into their normal shape. ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION Many authorities corlsiderthat one of the best anti-freeze solutions for the radiator is a combination of al- cohol. glycerine and water. While some persons claim that glycerine has an injurious effect on the rubber hose connections, the amount that is us- ed in connection with the alcohol is so small that it could hardly do any harm. Thdproportion suggested in all but- the most severe climates, a solu- tion that will not freeze until a tem- perature of five degrees below zero is reached, are seventy pel- cent wat- er fifteen percent alcohol and fifteen per cent glycerine. CARBON When cleaning carbon from the engine, do not think that the job is perfected merely because the head has been lifted and all of the carbon has been scraped off the engine parts that are exposed. Usually there is quite an accumulation of carbon formed on the underside of the pis- tons, which flakes off and works its way jnto the oil in the pump. Also. there is always carbon baked into the ring slots behind thepiston rinB-‘i. which is very necessary to clean out ifone desires a perfect job. BRAKE ROD CONNECTIONS It is very important that oil sllould be applied occasionally to the brake rod connections; and particularly at the points where a tube works with- in another tube. If this is‘ not done the tubes will eventually corrode and become locked.

DOMINION LAND SURVEYORS The origin of the art and practice of land surveying is lost in the mists of antiquity but that it was one of the early professions there can be no reasonable doubt. As population increased on the earth the very ex- istence of the tribe or of_ the family depended upon the pmprletnrship of the land over which the men hunted or latel- eked out a. pastoral living. The pastrol life more especially led to a division of the available land among the families and individuals. Probably the medicine man or vil- lage sorcer was the one who knew best the limits of the area over which the tribe held sway and he may be the progenitor of the present day highly qualified land surveyor. When the Dominion of Canada acquired from the Hudson's Bay Company that great area then known as Rupert's Land the survey and administration of it were early entrusted ‘w the Department of the Interior. By the Dominion Lands Act, provisions was made for a. beard of Examiners whichlwas to examine into the qualifcations and experience of canldates and to issue commissions as Dominion Land Sur- veyors. The Surveyor General of the Dominion‘ Lands Department the Interior was to act as chairman of this board. In the act it was provided that any duly qualified land surveyor in the then existing province's of Canada who registered was entitled to "a commission as a Domiinion Land Surveyor and many secured commissions in this manner. Since the date of the act, 1872. how- ever, many others have qualified be- fore the board of examiners. All surveyors of- or affecting Dom- inion lands may be made only by those thus qualified. In each provln-l ce however, there are lands over and legal surveys affecting these lands may be made only by a duly qualified surveyor for that partic- ular province. As the technical qualifications are very simlliar in the provinces and the Dominion, it is quite often the‘ case that a Dom- lnion land surveyor has also qualif- ied to make surveys in one or more of the provinces and many of them have established provincial practic- es. The list of Dominion Land sur- veyors, past and present carries the names‘ o? alany, distinguished Can- adians; Dr. E. Deville, Dr. W. F. King, Dr. O. J. Klotz, were three outstanding men in the civil service of Canada. Others still living hold Canadian Pacific and Canadian National railways, and as university professors. while those in business for themselves are scattered all over the country, not only in thp profes- sion of their early ouyt but as law- yers, bankers, investment brokers. and executive and administrative managers. To be a. successful surveym‘ ill 0 new country requires resourceful- ness in a high degree and indomit- able pluck, qualities which stand their possessors in 800d SW1d 11 they take up other vocations- How Old is a New-Laid Egg?

N. 5., and NM.‘ ‘Fifi w‘ - __ Notes ofo/ Naturalist Specially contributed to the Guardipn W. P. Pycraft, F. Z. A., in an article in the Illustrated London News. breaches a subject which will cer- tainly interest the readers of thislcol- umn. On turning out his mail this ' writer found a box containing s. pig's "trotter," and a letter from the lcar of Welton-by-Liilcoln, who said at in his lectures on Natural History at the village institute he was now and again set a "poser" by some member of his audience. This time it was the butcher-boy who wanted to know the why and wherefore of the flye small pits found on the inner side cf the fore-footpf a pig. Mr. Pycraft adds: "That really was a. ha d question, and the Vicar has accordin ly passed it on to me-for which I thank him, for it furnished me with a most interesting ' theme. I like that butcher-boy, and so probably does the Vicar; for it is evi- dent that he taken a keen interest in natural history-largely, I suspect, be- cause it is presented to him in such an alluring form; and only some lec- tures are able to achieve this." Now, I have often mentioned Gil- bert Whife in these notes, as the Father of Naturalists, and hope, one day, to give an account of his life and works; in 1768, while commencing his famous series of letters to Thomas Pen- nant. he was much intrigued as to the use of the two orifices just below, and in line with, the eyes of the fallow deer..l-Ie concluded that they were supplementary nostrils, which the an- imal made use of while. drinking, or when pursued, by their affording freer respiration. Sir William Jardine, in a footnote to this letter, gets nearer the truth when he calls them "glandular cavities which have a. reference to the season of rotting." Later observers have found similar structures in all deer, in antelopes, and even in the common sheep; and in all cases a "perfumed ointment" is seen to exude at certain seasons. In the African gnu this secretion is so copious as to drip to the ground. Those horny ex- crescences (variously called chest- nuts, mallenders, or sallenders) on the legs of horses, were once thought to be the atropled remains of extra dig- its or toes, but seeing that the "knee" of the horse is anatomically its wrist. this theory is untenable. Naturalists are now agreed that these are the vestiges of scent-glands which opened on the, surface of the skin, instead of into a cavity. Tile donkey bythe way, has "chestnuts" on the fore-legs only. ‘The gnu and the antelopés are fur- ther furnished with scent-glands in the hoofs. In the former these take the form of pockets just above the horny part of the fore-feet, while in the antelopes they are small pits within the top of the cleft of the hoofs. In the wild pig the five little pits before mentioned, give forth an aromatic exudation which, as the an- imal tramples the herbage, leaves a ‘trail whereby the sexes and each oth- er, in the pairing season: whereas in the domesticated pig they have ceased to be useful, yet (like other vestigial organs-the appendix for example) they still persist though in a modified form. All these structures, then, are designed to aid in that survival of the fittest which has under The Supreme Guidance, built up the many and val‘- fed forms that delight our eye and in- form our intelligence. "The Weasel is a beautiful and agile little animal of the same family (l.e. as the mink) frequently seen about furmsteads where it comes in search of mice. Its color is brown in summer and white in winter." (Bain). Our weasel appears to be a sub species of Mustela artlca, and is known in its winter coat of white as the Ermine. metimes spelt (and in both cases pronounced) Ermin. It feeds princi- pally on rodents such as rats, mice, muskrats, and‘ rabbits, which it pur- sues with uncommon pertlnaclty and boldness; hence it is sometimes called the Stoat, and old word signifying bold. If it confined its destuctlve ef- forts to these vermin, we could not grumble; but unfortunately it is as fond of poultry and game, and where numerous will often cause great loss. It takes readily to water and will even climb trees in purslut of its prey; and does not appear to be greatly afraid of man himself. For all its flerceness, it is s. very playful animal, and has often been observed to indulge in an- tics which could have no object but its own amusemen‘. "The fur changes to white in winter, not by a casting of the old coat but by a change of color in the existing fur" (Bell: "British Qubdrupeds"). In the reign of Ed- ward III. the use of this fur was re- stricted to royalty, and even now it is largely used in the making of state robes, the rank of the wearer being, in many cases, indicated by the presence ~ or absence, or disposition of the black spots (the tails). Ermine fur is a val- uable article of commerce in Norway. Sweden, Russia, and Siberia. I have shot these animals in Ensland, but their fur was worthless, since, owing to the milder climate, they never lose their summer coat of light brdwn, In Scotland they have the same season- al change as here. A few days ago (Dec; 1928) a. Rac- coon was captured in a trap sat near our brook, but died as it was taken from the trap. It was a very large specimen and the carcass had a heavy cost of fat. This animal is not noticed by the older naturalists. conclude it is one of the introduced so that I fur-bearers which, like the skunk. is tending to become naturalised.

THE STARR Y HEA VENS By VIATOR Shortly after sundown at the pres- ent time the firmament presents a brilliant and well defined of the wint- er constellations, Canis major (with its giant sun, Sirius) Orion, and Taurus, stretch across the Southern sky, and in addition, the planets Mars, Jupiter, and Venus, are visible, and unusually bright, ranging in a sort of line before the fixed stars. The planets are readily "picked up" both from their brightness and because they do not twinkle but bum with a steady light. The twinkling of the flX- ed stars is due to their lrnmenseuist- ance which causes the light-rays to reach us in a. weakened condition, and therefore easily affected by cur- rents of air. Mars is to the Eastward of the line. and ls distinguished by a slight red- dish tinge. To the layman the chief interest in "the red planet Mars" lies in the possibility of its being inhabit- ed..There are markings on its surface which seem to be artificial. It has ice polar caps, as the earth has; but‘ clouds are rarely observed, so that al- though it has water. it has not much. The absence of water will allow the heat of the sun to be eflective, in spite of the greater distance to Mars. and it may be that the equatorial regions are fitted for the support of vegetable life, Mars is much smaller than ‘the earth, its diameter being 4200 miles. The physical conditions then are so much different, that‘ beings like ourselves could not exist: but. we- cannot dogmatically conclude that no sentient beings are there. Mars has a. year of 887 days. Venus lies to the west of thellne, just above the sunset, a point‘ of daz- zling white light. Astronomers find it difficult to discern any markings on its brilliant surface, and some think that this brightness is due to a thick layer of cloud reflecting the sunlight. The average temperature of Venus is considered to be 140 degrees. After many attempts to determine its revo- lution round the sun, it has been fix- ed at 225 days, the planet keeping the same ‘face to the sun, just as the moon does to the earth. Midway between Mars and Venus shines the great planet Jupiter: its diameter more than ten times that of the earth. Even a small telescope will show that it is accompanied by a small family cf moons, nine in all. Jupiter is attracting a good deal of attention just now, since he is excep- tionally near to both the earth and the sun-about forty million miles nearer. During the past two years very disturbed conditions have pre- vailcd in the layer of clouds which everywhere hide his surface, and this happens to coincide with the maxi- mum periocl. of solar disturbances known as sunspots. and with intense and extreme weather ‘conditions on the earth. Jupiter's year is 4332 days. and perhaps there is some relation between that period and the recur- rence of sunspots?
