Epidemic of Bureaus
Battles Australia

Boards and committees with war
time duties are appointed almost
weekly in Australia and have be-
come a puzzle to the whole country.
1t is impossible to obtain an up-to-
minute list Of these bureaus,
and no official document exists set
ting out their designations and re-
spective functions.
The Prime Minister'S department
in Canberra issued a revised list,
but although an addendum was is
sued subsequently it is now far be-
hind the times. The Federal House
of Commons is planning an inquiry
into the wartime boards, and their
cost. 1t is generally understood that
there is much overlapping and
duplication.

Village Birth Rate

turned into a city overnight, when
thousands of Scots folk settled there
to found a steel industry, Is famous
again. Now it is the birth rate.
So many babies have been born in
the last six months that there are
Ito baby buggies, no cots, no clothes
Tor the new generation. Soon there
will not be enough school room for
them.
When Corby stepped up its popu-
lation from 1000 to 10000, the new
corners were young married couples.
Most of their children have been
born since 1896. Visitors say 1t is
almost uncanny to see so many
children of the same age, size and
height.

How Did 1t Start?

Question: What is meant by a
"gentleman's agreement?
Answer-It is an agreement in
which both parties are bound by word
of honor only. The United States
entered into a gentleman's agree
ment with Japan (of all nationsD
in the early 1900s regarding entry
into the United States of Japanese
nationals, but it was voided by the
immigration Act of 1924, which ex-
cluded Japanese altogether. Nippon
has never forgiven America for this
loss of face. and, it is said, has been
plotting revenge ever since, the busy
little bees.

the weather. Early spring plant
ings should take place about I to
6 weeks before the frost-tree date.
And this planting will include such
vegetables as cabbage, lettuce, on
ions, peas, potatoes, spinach and
turnips. Around 2 weeks later,
beets, carrots, chard, lettuce, mus
tard, p~arsnips and radishes should
be planted. Some varieties Of
beans, beets, sweet corn, squashs,
and tomatoes may follow after an
other 2 week period. However, if
it suits the gardeners convenience,
many Of those vegetables may be
planted as late as 8 weeks before
the fall freeze date.
The Victory gardeners work has
only begun when the seeds are
sown and plants are set. Weeds
must be kept under control by
thorough shallow cultivation or
hoeing. Vegetable crops should
not be cultivated deeply because of
danger to the roots that grow near

K. M. Ut is an old man in
love with me and wants to marry
me. Should 1 marry him or wait
on this other boy?
Ans: Why waste the best years
of your life on this old man when
you know in your hear that you
do not love him. His love for you
is based on " false notions and
physical attraction. There is no
happiness for either of you in such
love. The other boy wouldn't
have you because he knows that
you and he do not have the sam
code of morals. You're alright to
