I've heard of lot of new-styled
Easter bonnets, but none with mag
netic power Marianne and Marion
walked down the street in the rain
and every little now and then the
spokes of their umbrella lifted their
bonnets off their heads and then
put them on again. Marion said
it was to give their heads a rest
from the tight squeeze.
In mixed chorus, Richly couldn't
figure out why he wasn't singing
the same notes as the piano and
after much confusion, Mr.. Kemper
told him that Kate was off again.
Perhaps Harry Bouton isn't as
'girl-shy" as he acts. In the hall
the other morning, he ran in face
to face with Virginia Petrusha and
then turned around to see what he

Josie came into English class the

Bernice has been telling that her
pen is the best anyone could ever

Gordon Injuries
Usually Caused
By Lack of Core

Beware the garden variety of &C.
cidents, counsels the National Con.
servation Bureau, accident, proven.
ton division of the Association o,
Casualty and Surety Executives.
Gardening is the great hobby o,
millions, and the fairest season O,
them all for plant and flower lovers
is at hand" say the Bureaus safety
doctors. Let the joy of the flori.
culturist this year be unrestrained
let him glow with the health thai
springs from hearty out-of-doors ex.
ercise, and let us do what we may
to protect him against unnecessary
injury"
Most garden accidents, say the
accident prevention specialists, are
easily traceable to carelessness
There are the cases, multiplied
thousands of times each year, of the
man who stepped on the upturned
prongs of rake carelessly left ly-
inc in the grass; of the youngster
venturesome as youngsters ever
will be, who nearly severed his
sisters finger with pair of hedge
clippers thoughtlessly dropped in the
backyard, and of the woman for
getting her limited strength, who
painfully pulled tendon while try
ing to shift rock in the rock
garden.
Specialists Offer Hints
The Bureaus specialists offer the
following hints to gardeners of all
varieties who are awaiting the chirp
of the first robin to tell them that
the garden season is on.
Remember that most insecticides
are poisonous, many of them to hui
mans and especially to children.
They are safe when directions for
their use are followed Read the
directions, carry them out, and keep
all insecticides where children can
not reach them.
Wear gloves. Most garden inn
plements have sharp edges or points,
and can inflict painful and. disabling
wounds
Take it easy at first. OVer-en-
thusiasm may result in a Strain,
which in turn might end your gar-
dening days for this season, if not
longer.
Keep a weather eye open for
rusted nails and particles of glass in
the freshly turned ground you are
about to put your hand IN.
Examine That Ladder!
If you have a ladder, examine
it carefully before using it. Be-
fore climbing to paint that trellis
or guide the rambler rose over the
side of the house, replace all half
broken, rotted or otherwise weak
ened ladder rungs. If you are 60
ing up quite high, 1t is good idea
to have someone hold the ladder
while you maneuver at the top
All good gardeners inspect their
tools before starting the spring
drive. Rusty, bent or broken hoes,
rakes, troWels, spades, forks and
like tools, have definite elements of
danger
Now that tools will be used fire.
quently, this is a good time for
finding a safe place for eack-a
place where it will not fall upon
some child or trip an unsuspecting
guest-and for cultivating the wise
habit of always returning the tool to
that place.
Keep a first-aid kit handy in case
Of cuts, bruises, or other injuries.
Many a minor skin abrasion result
ing from thorns or brambles has led
70 disabling infection because anti
septic was not used in time.

been kept secret but they are be-
lieved generally to extend through

and along the German border as
well as the French frontier.

day and today along the Italian
coast, observing moments Of ships,
and over railroad centers and lines.
He flew for two hours, first over

The Italians turned their prcpa-
ganda against the Allied contraband
control in a new, violent anti British
campaign enlivened by street Incl
denst among Italians.
With a difference in Italian opin-
ion over the German invasion of
Holland and Belgium widely re-
ported, the new outburst Of paper
hostility was considered in some
quarters as a new attempt to aid
the German army.
The belief was expressed generally
that Italy, not yet ready to enter
the war, was trying to discomfort
the British and French and divert
Allied attention while the Germans
we're pushing ahead.
If such yer the case, it would
be the second similar attempt, OBJ
servers said. They asserted the first
anti-British campaign, in the midst
Of the war in Norway, succeeded in
Turing units of the British home
fleet into the Mediterranean, away
from their base, just before the Ger
mans launched their new invasion.
