Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of
Loeb Lomond Attractiv,


They may change the music of
the folk song, but the "bonnie, bon
ME banks of Loeb Lomond" rank
as one of the greatest attractions of
all Scotland, asserts correspond
ent in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Long before "jitterbugs" discov-
cred the song, Loeb Lomond held a
high place in the hearts of all who
knew it's lovely shores, rich in STIR
ring history and curious legends.
cts fame and beauty has been
recorded in poetry, song and legend
for many generations and the en-
tire countryside about it still wears
the mantle of Sir Walter SCOTS
enchantment.
Loeb Lomond and the Trossachs
are the legendary land of Rob Roy
and the scene of the Lady of the
Lake" On one of the islands of the
lake Robert the Bruce grew the
yews for the arrows needed by his
archers.
Travellers to this region meet Rob
Roy as soon as they leave the vii
lage of Aberfoyle, for the road
winding up the hillside affords them
a view of a solitary crag, known as
his writing desk.
At Loeb Arklet he carried off
his bride, Helen Macgregor, and in
Glen Arklet lies the site of a fort
built to brighten him away-a fort
which frightened the bold outlaw so
little that he attacked it twice, and
finally dismantled it.

TO REMOVE PARTICLE FROM
EYE WITHOUT ANY INJURY
Serious infections often result
from bungling attempts to re-
move foreign particles from the
eye and these few suggestions
are offered by the Minnesota
State Medical association.
First: When something strikes
the eye, try not to close the lids.
The particle may be embedded in
the eyeball with the forceful clos
ing of the lids. Keep the lids
apart. Natures sudden rush OF
tears may flush it out.
Second: If method number one
doesn't work, hold the head
erect, look downward and grasp
the upper lid in its central por-
ton. Now pull the upper lid
aver the lower one, roll the eye
balls upward and release the up
per lid. The edge of the lower lid
or its lashes may brush off the
particle if it is under the upper.
Try it two or three times if nee
essary.
Never use knife, pocket hand
kerchief or toothpick. 1t is the
easiest way to get a grave infec-
ton. Application Of plain boric
acid ointment or plain petroleum.
not carbolated-to the eyeball
is recommended until expert
help is available. A spoonful of
castor oil or olive oil, sterilized,
may be used instead.

An efficient cleaning preparation
for unglazed stone door stills is made
from one gallon of good soft soap,
one pint clear ammonia solution
and two pounds of finely powdered
pumice stone. The stone should first
be thoroughly cleaned of SCOT and
dust, the mixture applied and al
lowed to stand for a half hour or
more. Then scrub well into the
surface of the stone with stiff
brush or broom. Rinse off thor
oughly with clear water. If one APP
plication is not sufficient, repeat the
process second time.

How to Kill Trees

The usual procedure in killing or
getting rid of tree is to cut it
down close to the ground and from
then on prevent growths developing
from the stump or suckering from
the roots. Decay may be fastened
by boring holes in the stumps, fill
ing these with salt and water. Keep
doing this for a few months.

Don't blame a dog for q. fly crop. They:

Babson on Stockholders

"The average small stockholder is sucker" declares Roger Babson, the vet eran business analyst. "He puts his money into the securities of company about which he knows little or nothing. The information he receives is vague, in- complete and meaningless. He has prac- tically no voice in the company's affairs. Decisions are concentrated in the hands of an inside group of officials, bankers and lawyers. Small stockholders need a union which would take it's place beside the managements luncheon club and Labor Local Mo- 102 These stockholders should make their influence felt"
 AS for the trouble the railroads have got into, he says: Banker and lawyer management has run many roads into the ash heap Stupid handling of labor problems has raised havoc with the car riers. Few of these directors would handle their own money as they have handled their stockholders funds We growl about graft in public places, but do the net results thereof exceed the huge salaries which have been paid in private places?"
 This sort of talk is regarded by many as subversive. Yet it may be construc- tive Anyway, Mr. Babson will be hear ing from his clients about it, and the com ments he gets should be of general interest.
