The local Union is meeting on Saturday, March 14, in Lacombe Town Hall at 2 pm. All soldier settlers and Empire settlers in the district, whether members of the Union or not, are urgently impressed with the importance of being pres- ent.

Flax Will Prove A Profitable Crop On Park Belt Farm While farmers practically all over iit prairie provinces are still con- centrating on wheat, despite their inability to secure a reasonable price for -it, there is one class of crop for which the demand is much greater than the supply, and for which a constant market is assured, as its products are required in the manufacture of textiles, live stock feeds, tonics, medicaments, paint and many other products. This crop is flax. Early maturing varieties of flax have been successfully grown for a mumber Of years at the Dominion Experimental Station, Lacombe. The ‘only apparent reasons for its not being grown to any extent in Central Alberta are that suitable varieties were not formerly available and that while flax is an old acquaintance of a few farmers it is absolutely new to the majority. . On the whole, northern-grown flax is of higher quality than that grown farther south. The introduc- tion of new early-maturing varieties gives farmers of Central Alberta an opportunity to replace low priced wheat with high priced flax—at a profit. 4 . At Lacombe, flax will yield from 15. to.20 bushels per acre. When tion with the current price‘ of flax —and the fact that the market would indicate that another million bush- els annually are required in Canada alone—it would seem quite safe to suggest that for the next few years, at least, flax should prove one of the most. profitable of farni crops. ; With any new crop, it is wise to start in a small way in order to learn how to handle it before un- dertaking its production on any large scale. This is particularly true of flax. , The Dominion Experimental Sta- tion, Lacombe, hasn’t any flax seed for distribution; however, depend- able seed may be secured from any established seed house. A further article, dealing with the merits of the different varieties and describing the best cultural meth- ods of flax, will appear in an early edition of the Western Globe. OO TESTING PIGS Pigs for test under the Advanced Registry for Swine were received at the Dominion Experimental Station at Charlottetown, P.E.I., from 20 breeders. Of the pigs tested, 73 per cent graded select and 54 per cent of the dams qualified for Advanced Registry. FORAGE CROP Encouraging results have been ob- tained from the forage crop breed- ing work at the Dominion Experi- mental Farm at Brandon, Man, There are 229 varieties and strains on test in the forage crop nursery.

Fruit Canning Important Industry Of Australia Fruit canning is now one of Aus- tralia’s important industries, canner- ies being located in each of the states, according to the mister of one of the Canadian National Steam- ships freighters in the Canada-Aus- tralia-New Zealand service. The principal fruits canned are apricots, pears, peaches and pineapples. The main production is centered in the irrigation areas of Victoria and New South Wales. The fruit canning in- dustry of Australia has had a re- markable rise. Twenty-five yéars ago the production of canned fruits was. almost non-existent. For the year to the end of June, 1934, the value of canned fruit exports from Australia amounted to, roughly, $4,770,505. Oi TO ENCOURAGE WHEAT CONSUMPTION For the purpose of increasing the per capita consumption of wheat products in the United States by im- proving the quality of flour and bread sold to domestic consumers, The Northwestern Miller suggests that low-grade flour should be taxed in .order that the sale of higher grades or patent flour should be encouraged. This scheme would force low-grade flours into export channels, it is contended, and the scheme would increase the amount of wheat required for flour making from 450,000,000 to 550,000,000 bush- els annually. By this method, to- gether with the 42c duty on imports, United States prices could be main- tained at a_ figure substantially above world price levels. 9 R.O.P.

WINDROSS EDMONTON, Alta. — This week the big event of the legislature took place Monday, when Hon. Charles Cockroft, provincial treasurer, pre- sented his budget to the House in a speech which had many notable features. The budget is remarkable in that for the first time for some years the provincial treasurer has budgeted for a surplus, stated in the estimates as $84,222, after trans- ferring from capital account to in- come account expenditures for direct relief, estimated at $1,497,666, and the provision of $713,453 for the sinking fund. Mr. Cockroft explained that it was considered the income account was the proper place for the above items and’ not capital account. An interesting and important fea- ture of the budget is its provision for the care by the government of free treatment for all tuberculous patients in the province in the inter- ests of the health of the citizens, and for expenditure of $100,000 to provide additional accommodation for these patients in the already established hospitals. . Municipalities will also be inter- ested in the plan to carry 25 per cent of the 50 per cent of relief costs now borne by the cities, thus reducing their burden from 50 to 25 per cent. New taxation is provided for in an increase in the income tax to bring it into line with other prov- inces. This is estimated to yield an increase in revenue. The estimated revenue from this tax is $1,200,000 as compared with $650,000 last year. A sales tax will be levied on the ultimate purchasers of commodities from which the gross revenue is estimated at $2,000,000. A social ser- vice tax is to replace the supplemen- tary revenues tax, with an added estimated revenue of $323,000, or a total of $1,223,000. An increased subsidy payment from the Dominion of $243,900 is based on the increase of the popu- lation to over 800,000 expected to be shown in the quinquennial census to be taken this year; and an estimated increase in revenue of $300,000 from the Liquor Board taking over the distribution of beer, and also from (Continued on Page Five) Grain and Livestock Hogs (Bacon) $7.15 Cattle market continues slow, with litthe demand.

Return Of Glacial Age Sees Possibility If Mean Annual ‘ Temperature Should Drop Probably somewhat influenced in his outlook by the fact the mercury had dropped in Saskatoon to low depths, Dr. J. B. Mawdsley, of the University of Saskatchewan, and re- cently elected fellow of the Geogra- phical Society of America, in an ad- dress before the Saskatoon Archae- ological Society, stated that if the mean annual temperature of North America fell nine degrees the glacial ages which covered this continent with ice thousands of feet thick would return. An increase in pre- cipitation could have the same effect, Dr. Mawdsley declared. Dr. Mawdsley said the coming of man to North America probably happened about 20,000 years ago when a land bridge connected Asia and Alaska.

Ad- mitting that we are living in an age when things unknown comparatively few years ago are now Almost con- sidered necessities, still we must ask whether the advance has been tworth what it is costing. When we think of at least 1,000 a year brought down mentally by the stress and strain of present-day life, we are forced to conclude that we are paying too dearly for our advantages. Contrast conditions of, say, 50 years ago with those of the present. The telephone was a novelty—more of a plaything than the indispensable article it is considered both in office and home—we had no motor cars, no aeroplanes, no radio, no electric lights, no oil-burning furnaces. If anyone wanted to go places he used a horse or took the train—and there were no stream-lined, 70-mile-an- hour trains. Thirty was a good aver- age speed. | Now everything is labor-saving and speed. No longer is anyone con- tent to wait while a correspondent in Vancouver or London, England, an- swers a letter—he is called on the telephone. By air. San Francisco is no farther away from Owen Sound now than Montreal was by train a few years ago. It’s all speed—speed —and more speed. The whole trouble is that our nerv- ous systems have not kept pace with the advancement of science. We are not built to travel at the rate we must, if we are to keep up with the times. And we must for competition has increased, the tempo of business and social life has been speeded up; and, between the strain of trying to force a 10-mile-an-hour body to travel 60 or 70 and worry over in- ability to do the impossible, it is no wonder that mindg give way. Is the game worth the candle? Manifestly not; but—There is al- ways that “but”. What to do about it? Nobody knows. It is all very well to tell people to take it easy; but how many will? Still, it is something that de- serves serious thought. The whole fate of the country depends on de- vising some way to make people go a little slower and thereby stop the increase of mental disease at. the rate of 2,000 a year in Ontario alone. —Owen Sound Sun-Times. Public Liked New Pens ——a, Idea Tried By British Post Office Did Not Work Pen pilfering is to be stopped in Great Britain’s post offices. In an effort to end the jokes so long as- sociated with post office pens, Great Britain’s General Post Office recent- ly issued experimentally, to selected branches throughout the country, 10,000 de luxe pens of a new model, gracefully shaped, colored a vivid red and emblazoned with the initials, “G.P.0.” How well the public took to the pens was indicated by the revelation in the G.P.O. report, that at first their average “life,” before they were stolen, was four weeks at London, three weeks at Glasgow and a fortnight at Edinburgh. At New- castle-on-Tyne the pens lasted some- what longer, because there they were chained, but one thief took both chain and pen.

She was a Clumber Spaniel, who had been for years the inseparable com- panion of King George on his walks along the Norfolk lanes. When he went out on shooting parties, she went, too, and her royal master be- came so proud of her that he boast- ed to his friends that she was “a dog that never blundered.” When His late Majesty's body was remov- ed from Sandringham, Susan fell ill. Veterinarians could do nothing for her. And so she followed her mae- ter.

The rigid task of inspection, under the joint supervision of company and shipyard experts, is expected to oc- cupy severdl weeks, although ~ pre- liminary sutveys Nave already been carried out. The four 385-ton pro- pellers have’ already been temporar- ily disconnected from their 227 foot long shaftings, and furnaces and boilers lighted, but every particle of the ship’s machinery will undergo minute and severe tests in the yards before the actual speed trials, which will take place Keyond the Heads of Arran, in the Firth of Clyde. Prior to proceeding on her speed trials the “Queen Mary” will leave Clydebank about March 24 next and Proceed to Southampton where she will enter the new Southampton dry- dock to be prepared for the trials some weeks later. The speed trials of the “Queen Mary” will be conducted with the utmost secrecy. Nét a single soul of the 560 carried aboard, except Sir Edgar Britten, the commander, will know just when the tests have actu- ally begun or ended. During the speed trials messages will be exchanged between the com- mander and the engine room in code instead of by telephone, giving de- tails of the vessel’s speed and be- havior. These messages will be re- corded in cipher on perforated tape, similar to quotations on a_ stock ticker. ‘ For fear that the superliner may swamp yachts and houses on shore during these special manoeuvres, the speed trials of the “Queen Mary” will be carried out beyond the Heads of Arran in the Firth of the Clyde instead of over the usual measured mile at Skelmorlie, off the Ayrshire coast, or in Wemyss Bay. The “Queen Mary” will speed over her trial course 25 times, anchoring at night off the Tail of the Bank. Later, on leaving the Clyde, three further tests will be carried out. Stern tests to ascertain the ship’s speed while going hard astern will be made off Land’s End when sailing to Southampton. Manoeuvring trials will then be carried out to find the area. required and the time the liner will take to turn completely around. Later there will be consumption trials in the Atlantie¢ to discover the oil fuel. consumption per 24-hour period. t The Utmost In Efficiency Firm In Moravia Has Great Idea To Save Time Heads of a concern in Zlin, Mor- avia, and their secretaries are to have their “office” in an elevator.

There the doors will be opened, and the elevator will remain until all the required business has been transacted. Then the staff will resume their “travels.” The amount of time saved by taking the fully- equipped office to where it is wanted, instead of having to take everything to each office, is estimated to be great.

Roper Kilgo, the boss of the Raw- hide and nearby ranges, who seemed to approve the plan, but was really Opposed to it, had forced Soak Tor- ney, a derelict mining engineer, whom Kilgo knew would be éalled upon to give his expert opinion in favor of the scheme, to reverse his earlier endorse- ment, and declare that irrigation in Boone county so far as Fleming's plan: was concerned was only a new- fangled way to waste money. - The meeting terminates, but Buzz Hamilton and his sister, Helen, Link and Kilgo stay behind and Helen asks Fleming questions about his irriga- tion plan. This angers Buzz, who accuses Fleming of trying to influ- ence his sister and, as he asserts, ruin his “spread”. Buzz shoots at Flem- ing in, an uncontrollable fit of anger, but Buster Townsend, Link's foreman, is shot in the stomach, and Fleming is uninjured. Buzz is arrested and sentenced to three years’ imprison- ment. ‘Helen and Fleming form a partner- ship to provide irrigation for their own properties. __ Fleming goes home and studies the plans drawn by Torney to learn whether they could be adapted to a smaller scheme suitable for his and Helen's land, and is satisfied it could be done. Feeling cold, he lights the fire and there is an explosion that wrecks the house, burns it and the Plans and renders Link unconscious. He is rescued from the blaze by an employee. (Now Go On With The Story) CHAPTER VII.—Continued They turned to see a short man in a fur-collared overcoat pausing in the doorway. At recognition that she was a girl he quickly doffed his derby hat. The man was apple-fated with a long pointed nose and a sharp chin. He bowed gravely and came forward. “You're Mr. Fleming, I guess? My name’s G. I. V. Berrens. Travel- ling representative of the Western Improvement Company of Denver. I—er, heard about a project. Mr. Fleming is interested in, and decided to come out to speak to him. I must have been on the way when this—er, regrettable incident oc- curred.” He stood beside the re- cumbent rancher. “Mighty sorry, mighty sorry,” he stated in a low, peculiarly husky voice. “Mighty sorry indeed.” Link could not recall having seen the man before. Berrens drew up a stool and offered it to Helen. Then tossing his derby on the stand where the oil lamp was, he thrust back the long overcoat, apparently joining his fat little hands behind him. Rocking back and forth, heel-and-toe, he smiled again and shook his head. “Er—I am not selling anything but ideas, possibly—one might say ideas, Mr. Fleming. So don't worry about that. Fact is, in your—ah, unfortunate condition of the moment you may, perchance be particularly amenable to my proposition.” . Link's glance showed plain long- ing for the fellow to be gone. It had no visible effect on Mr. Berrens, however. Nodding and smiling from one to the other of them, and back again, he continued what sounded like a prepared speech. “You are, I believe, irrigation?” “I reckon so.” “Right! At the Trailend Hotel in Rawhide I chanced to fall into con- versation with one or two towns- people. Mr. Otto Pieper, president of the bank, for one. Ah—I gather that you‘and this young lady have discussed some irrigation project in common — together — which, one might say, is not thought highly of by other ranchers?” “That's true, Mr. Berrens.” The fussy little man exhibited a row of gold teeth. “Sir, the company I represent, the Western Improve- ment Company, is a powerful, well- financed concern. We are, as &@ mat- ter of fact, interested in securing a small, interesting place where we can experiment. I am not trying to sell you anything, sir, except pos- sibly an idea.” “Don't think I can afford even an interested in idea now, Mr. Berrens. My ranch house—” “Exactly!” Mr. Berrens beamed. His gold teeth gleamed. “This car- bonizing of your ranch house is, I as$ume, a severe blow to a man of your apparent financial standing. Nothing saved, eh? Mr. Fleming, you are a sick man, sir. Tchk! That vou ak such a thing! should happen in this! day and age! “A gentleman named Soak Torney was slain, I am told. Also, one at the same time tried to kill you. This—er, fire seems to be of incendiary origin, do you think? At so0me- | least, some misereant seems to have placed dynamite in your stove “What I am getting at,’ he end- ed with dramatic suddenness and appropriate gestures, “is this: my company will purchase your ranch, sir. We don’t want it for the cat- tle. We want it because Silver Creek provides an interesting op- portunity to try irrigation and to study the results.” “But we intend—” Helen began. “With men trying to kill you at every turn?

Link scowled as he looked from Ber- rens to the girl, then into space. Dis- couragement welled in him at real- ization that all\Boone County want- ed to see the irrigation scheme fail —actually hoped it would fail. Some- one wanted it to the extent of at- tempting to kill him. The loss of the plans, the destruction of his ranch house—all this was warning enough. Could a man succeed in the face ef such odds? Thought of surrender was not a pleasing. one. Link Fleming could not recall when he had surrendered before. Nevertheless there was a differ- ence. between being. courageous and foolhardy. He could sell out and go elsewhere, easily enough. He gazed thoughtfully at Helen Hamilton, seated nearby, her grace- ful profile turned his way. Perhaps he would do her a service to scotch this scheme here and now. To per- sist, plainly, meant trouble. His pulse speeded and new warmth went through him. He wanted to avoid making trouble for her, trouble of any kind. . . “How much for the Mr. Berrens?” became that it might be worth while you have. I’ve been informed as to your land, however. I'll say five thousand for the land and the build- ings, and your beef at the market price. That’s just a rough idea, but we can work it out on a satisfactory basis, I’m sure.” “How about seventeen acres of land that’ll when it’s watered?” “Ha! As it isn’t watered now, it isn’t worth much. Fifty cents an acre, Mr. Fleming, and that’s a very Star Loop, hundred grow alfalfa generous offer. Very generous, in- deed!”’ He thought a moment. With his steers and equipment the price would run argund ten thousand dollars. It was less than the place was worth, but that amount in cash meant set- tling all this.

Helen would be _ spared heightening the friction between her- self and Buzz, in prison—between herself and Kilgo, who must have some grounds for expecting to win the girl... Suddenly his mind was made up “Mr. Berrens, I'll take—" “Wait!” The girl rose swiftly. Her eyes were bright and her face pale. “You shan’t do it!” she ex- claimed indignantly “Why, Link, what makes you talk so?” “But we cant get in any work now till Spring.

Poppy Day was more than a money-making affair. “We regard it as asacred thing.” The legion undertook to be responsible for celebration of Armistice Day “which brings the whole country into one great family.” “Unemployment has laid its heavy hands upon the ex-serviceman to a far greater degree than ever before,” Gen.

B. Keightley, speaking in Tor- onto before the annual meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce on “How Advertising Can Develop Employment,” said only, “creative advertising’’ could have any stimu- lating effect to increase the ratio of employment. As an example of the bearing of advertising on the prosperity of a country as a whole, he said, those countries most given to the advertis- ing of products and services are the countries in which standards of liv- ing are the highest and in which there is steady progress in the use of modern devices. An advertising campaign in the automotive industry was cited by Mr. Keightley ‘as one of the recent campaigns which increased employ- ment. He said in spite of large in- vestment losses, fewer people at work, and lowered earnings a very large number of the people do pos- sess means of gratifying their de- sires, but fearsand lack of confidence have caused them to reduce their normal spending. “People must first be made _ to want things,” he said.

He estimates that the number of meteors equal in brightness to a first magnitude star is 800,000 a day for the world, and that the less bril- liant ones observable with the naked eye is 24,000,000 a day. The smal- ler ones, seen only with telescopes, total millions of millions a day. Al- though the amount of material brought to the earth in this way is large it would, nevertheless, amount to a layer only one inch deep over the whole surface of the earth if accumulated during the whole age of the earth, according to Dr. Wylie’s estimates. — St. Thomas Times- | Journal. | ennai anda ie ooni Praised For Rescue U.S. Government’ Expresses Grati- | tude For Efforts Of Britain In Finding Elisworth Expedition commander-in-chief’ of the Canadian | , HAVENT BEEN SLEEP - ING WELL POR MONTHS? ay OF HIS iy!

Chemically Treated With Compound Wood Will Not Burn Coinciding with the statement of nited States builders and insurance men that the United States fire losses for 1935 amounted to 10,000 human lives and cost §$245,000,090, comes a report from the Nations] Board of Fire Underwriters contain- ing an assurance that there is such a thing as fire-retardant wood. The wood tested by the Board was red oak and maple which had “been thoroughly and uniformly im- pregnated in pressure tanks contain- ing ammonium salts,°a fireproofing compound which,, it is not perhaps generally known, has actually been procurable in Canada for at least two years. The treated wood is al- most the same in appearance as ordinary wood but is a little heavier because of the salt content. It is easily tooled and takes varnish well. The investigators of the Board tested the -treated wood under con- ditions that sent untreated walls and floors roaring up in flames while the treated wood did not burn at all but after a long period of exposure to the fierce heat was deeply charred. Not once, however, did the treated wood flame or aid the spread of combustion. The National Board of Fire Underwriters’ final verdict wags that the wood was non*inflammable.

Luke 18:27. : Unless the Lord had been my help my soul had almost dwelt in silence. Psalm 94:17. When obstacles and trials seem Like prison walls to be, IL do the little I can do And leav; the rest to Thee. There are seasons when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act. Composure is often the highest result of power. Think you it demands no power to calm the stormy elements of passion to throw off the load ,of dejection, to suppress every repining thought when the dearest hopes are withered, and to turn the wounded spirit from dangerous. thoughts and wasting grief to the quiet discharge of ordi- nary duties. Is there no power put forth when a man, stripped of his property and of the fruits of a life’s labors, quells discontent and gloomy forebodings, and serenely and | patiently returns to the tasks which Providence assigns? The mind never} puts forth greater power over itself than when it yields its interests to God. Fulfilled Last Request of Ashes Engineer Scattered Track In B.C.

Mr. Howson said: “We have been here three weeks now and done.” nothing has been f KES Eeepere ene During the interval Major C. H. Douglas has continued to hold a central place in the speculative in- terest of the public. When he heard ef the statement: made in the House that he had been paid a sum exceed- ing $6400 by the Alberta government for his services in 1934-35, he promptly denied he had .received any such sum, and later examina- tion of the province's accounts showed he was t to the extent of $300 and a ii more. Then the Londén founder of Social Credit astonished the public, and evidently surprised ndbelly more than Premier Aberhart, by stating in an interview in London to a Cana- dian journalikt that he was not en- gaged by the Alberta government “to prepare a plan of Social Credit for Alberta,” He insisted that m6 such contract is mentioned in the agreement or correspondence between himself and the provincial government, Comment on this situation Would be useless. as there is no way of checking up on the major’s statement and there has been so much misrépresentation in connection with the © situation be- tween the London exponent of Social Credit and Premier Aberhart in the press that it will be wiser to hold comment until more is known. Certainly Premier Aberhart ex- pects Major Douglas to help in pro- viding a plan of Social Credit for the province and he has been await- ing his arrival here for the purpose of consulting him on the Social Credit legislation. Premier Aber- hart says he cannot understand Major Douglas’ statement. But it should be clear that “reconstruction adviser” might include in its mean- ing Social Credit adviser, whatever the Major or the newspapers say about it.

What treatment it will receive is of interest, but it may be affirmed that in the long run, whatever the oppo- sition, it will be given third reading and passed into law The recall measure will also be made law following its regular course through the legislature. The education bill is said not to be as ready for presentation as the other two important bills. It is being given minor changes to meet suggestions by Social Credit members and _ to meet some objections voiced by its opponents as much as is consistent with its purpose. The main prin- ciple will ve unchanged, it is learned. Premier Aberhart has met with a difficulty in connection with his Sunday night broadcast of the addresses at the Edmonton Bib! Conference. Complaints received by radio fans at the substitution of the conference broadcast for some regu- lar Sunday night musical programs and the Canadian Press news bul- letins’ delay have caused the Radio Commission to notify the Prethier that his broadt¢ast cannot be given over CICA at that hour after March 8. There is a feeling in-the mind of the Premier and other members of the government that politics enter into the ban to some extent, but whether this is or isnot so is hard to say. In any case the Bible Con- ference will have to be broadcast over another station if it is to be Page Five heard between 8:00 and 9:30 o'clock Sunday evenings. What arrange- ments are to be made the Premier will himself announce over the air.

What is wrong with the Canadian Railio Commission and its programs? There is abundant evidence that the governing body of radio broadcast- ing in this country is not filling the bill to the taste of Western Canadian radio fans. Discontent is heard on all hands when the subject is under dis- cussion among users of radio in the three. prairie provinces and press comentators, even those inclined to be more merciful to the authorities, are constantly poking the commission. Disstisfdaction is not ‘so rife in Eastern Canada, because, it is said, the residents of that half of the Dominion, who do not like C.R.C. commis- sion programs coming over the air at the moment, can, with an easy twist of the wrist, turn to something more to their taste and bring in a wide selection from the best Eastern stations on the other side of the interna- tional boundary without interference from loca) stations. In Western Canada radio fans are largely precluded from this consola- tion, due to the fact that the distribution of wave lengths in the west is such. as to inevitably shut out reception from the more popular accessible Stations on the American ‘side of the line and particularly at those hours when radio is in most constant use, except for those few who are able to afford the- most up-to-date models. Unfortunately. due to stringency resulting from a combined agricul- tural. depression and world wide economic disaster of the past few years the great majority of citizens of the prairie provinces have been, and still are, forced to take their wireless entertainment frorfi more or less anti- quated receiving sets. Money is still too scarce to enable them to purchase the most modern sets, equipped with the latest refinements and they are Unable, for the-present at least, to tune in to stations on the other side of the line in close wave length to the local stations. This is undoubtedly one of the causes of the prevailing dissatisfaction and is one which should be recognized and, if possible, rectified by the com- mission. . Another oft-heard complaint is that in the choice of its chain pro- grams the Commission devotes too much time to highly classical music and too little to the type of entertainment which the greater majority of West- @rn Canadians would sooner hear. In other words, it is stated that the Programs are not well balanced. This great majority would prefer to hear @ little more of the “jolly rollicking barn dance” type of music and more entertainment of a humorous variety than the Commission appears able or willing to provide, but at the same time they want this entertainment furn- ished by what may be termed “top notchers” and not by mediocre amateurs. It is true, perhaps, that the Commission has dimly perceived its short- comings in this respect and has made some effort more recently to cater to popular gemand but in doing so has relied to a considerable extent on local talent of not very high rating, possibly due to a desire to placate local jealousies. In this connection it might be suggested that the commission might very well make more use of local commercial stations as an elim- ination school and select only those best qualified té appear on their chain programs with some provision for adequdte remuneration. It is generally conceded, too, that one of the factors responsible for the commission's seeming inability to cater to western requirements is the fact that too much of the revenue derived from radio license feea finds its way into the Dominion government’s treasury and too little of it is allotted to the commission for its work. If the commission were allowed a greater proportion of this income it is possible that they might be able to find or develop sufficient talent to eliminate some of the criticisms to which it is . Then, too, the commission has been subjected to criticism from time to time for lack of initiative. A case in point is its decision not to make a Blattnerphone recording of the funeral services of the late King George. for reproduction at an hour when the great majority of Western radio listeners could icipate. _ It is admitted that the problem is one which bristles with difficulties and that the commission has no easy task to perform if it should attempt to satisfy everybody, but one instinctively feels that it has not succeeded @s yet in going as far in this direction as it might. There is some talk just now of a new commission being set up con- sisting of only one paid member, the chairman, and an unsalaried advisory board. Whether such a change would result in a greater measure of satis- faction would depend largely on the personnel. The membership, if such a board is created, should certainly include one or more who are conversant with the western situation and it is essential that at least one or more of the members know something about showmanship as well as the technical side of radio. ~Trams-Atlantic Air Mail Regular Service Between Britain And Canada To Come Soon Regular trans-Atlantic air mail services by April:or May of next year is considered likely by United States postal officials.

Was Once Fertile Plain Explorer Proves Neolithic Fished In Sahara Desert Fishing in the Sahara was once & favourite pastime of man. This dis- covery was made by Henri Lhote, a Frenchman, who unearthed the first skeletons of neolithic man found in Man Africa. These men lived 10,000 years ago, he said, when swift streams, now dried up, once ran through a fertile Sahara plain. The young explorer, who passed two years digging in prehistoric dump- heaps in the southeastern part of the desert, analysed the bone structure of the old-time fisher, who belonged to the Negro race. Vertebrae of fresh water fish as well as harpoon heads made from bone, showed a dried-up river bed was nearby. This surmise was later proved correct. The Real Issue Nation Be Permitted To Break Treaties The real issue between Italy and the League of Nations is not whether Abyssinia is uncivilized and blame- worthy, or whether Italy has real grievances or not. The real issue, the real question, is can Italy or any nation be permitted to break its treaties and agreements and disre- gard all its obligations—can every nation be allowed whenever it has, or thinks it has, a grievance against another to be the sole judge in its a case and enforce its claims by vading another country and killing its people—its men ,women and chil- dren—by machine guns, explosive bombs from aeroplane—and even by poisoned gas? Can Any Ship Without Rivets River Barge Of Russian Shipping Line Electrically Welded An oil-tanker river barge that has been added to the Lower Volga Ship- ping Line is said to be a unique ex- ample of shipbuilding. No rivets whatsoever were used in its con- struction, the sections of the hull being welded electrically. The com- bined length of all the welded joints totalled 40 miles. The vessel has a length of 450 feet, a beam of 62 feet, a middle height of 11 feet, and a carrying capacity of 6,000 tons. By employing the welding method, a considerable économy in metal was effected. The weight of the hull is 411 tons, 75 tons less than that of a rivetted barge of the same tonnage. hopeless cripples, have appeared in the number of sufferers in the city up to oI “Invsible Virus Scientist Explains How This Elusive Cause Of Common Colds The long elusive cause of the com- mon cold has been kept bottled up successfully for 20 months in a test tube at Columbia University: Dr. Raymond Dochez, professor of medicine at Columbi& University school of medicine, announced that this long period of artificial cultiva- tion, completely away from the hu- man body, makes it certain that the cause is an invisible virus. In the Columbia tube there are no bacteria or other forms of infection visible. But in all the 20 months its liquid contents. have retained the power to give a human being, or a chimpanzee, a violent cold. In all that time the invisible cause has lived and reproduced itself on chick- en embryo for food. This work of Dr. Dochez is in line with other medical. experiments pointing to the same common cold cause, and to a double “complex” as the mechanism of human colds. In this double complex the in- visible virus is the basic cause. Its function is to weaken the respiratory organs. Thus weakened, the organs are attacked by common, visible bac- teria, which bring the complications familiar to cold sufferers. “Until very recently,” Pr. Dochez said, speaking at an alumni day meeting, “the true causes of com- mon cold and influenza were un- known. For many years it was be- lieved that the ordinary bacteria found so frequently in the mouth were the cause. “Doubt has recently been cast upon this belief and recent studies seem to prove that colds are caused by what.is known as a filterable virus, an infinitely small body which passes through the pores of the fin- est porcelain filters and is some- where in the borderland between living and non-living matter.” Praise For King Edward: Is. Fully Equipped For Task Says Carol Of Rumania A brighter outlook! for the peace of Europe as a result of the acces- sion to the British throne of King Edward VIII., was forecast by Carol II., King of Rumania, in an inter- view at Paris. Carol was unstinted in his praise of the youthful King Emperor—his distant cousin. He drew an enthysi- astic portrait of the late King George V. and then, describing the new ruler of the British Empire, said: “King Edward has_ formed _re- markapble powers of judgment and strength of character as result of his numerous voyages throughout the world and the British Empire. He has mixed with all kinds of peo- ple and has learned how to deal with all kinds of situations. “He is fully equipped for his task as the head of a great empire. His experience, I am _ confident, will prove unusually valuable in his re- lations with all men and all coun- sor, Ontario, research chemist, reports the success; ful construction of test stretches of “salt highways” at more than 12 Ontario points. Over 200 miles of these roads have been built to date in the United States. In his interview, Mr. Rowat em- phasized the fact that the develop- ment was still in the experimental stage. The aim is to produce a hard, durable and dustless road surface, using cheap materials readily avail- able locally in most sections of the} Dominion. Highway engineers refer to it as a “salt-stabilized road” and the material because of ite ‘appear- ance and wearing qualities is some- times known as soil concrete. The ingredients of a salt highway are gravel or crushed stone, clay and common salt, the last named in com- paratively small quantities..He men- tioned a test stretch in Ontario where 15 tons of salt per mile was sufficient for a successful road sur- face three inches thick and 20 feet wide. The important factors in a salt- stabilized road, Mr. Rowat indicated, were the coarse aggregates, (gravel or crushed stone) and the securing of proper proportions of the three ingredients. These proportions would be governed to a large degree by the quality and size of the gravel and would not only vary from district to district but might easily change in different sections of any one road being treated. Generally speaking, specifications could be drawn up to provide for the use of coarse aggre- gates and clay available locally in a given locality.- The proportions of the mixture and the method of ap- plication were established by careful laboratory tests of the materials in advance-and during construction. In Ontario, there are now test stretches of salt highways on 2 number of heavily-travelled routes including provincial roads near Tor- onto and the highway route to Mus- koka Lakes resorts. Credit for the, original discovery is given, in large measure, to a Canadian engineer, A. ‘R. Chambers of New Glasgow, N.S. Seeking a solution to the dust nui- sance, he remembered that the ceramic industry used salt with clay | to improve its drying qualities, ap- | plied the same principle to a section of Nova Scotia road and produced the first stretch, on this continent at least, stabilized with salt.

He said hunting preserves had been set aside especially for Indians, and ex- plained how the Indian problem of fishing and hunting had _ been handled by the various provinces.

The ‘Council Has As Objective Universal Pasteurization Of Milk One of the most outstanding pieces of promotion work ever attempted by a single individual in the develop- ment of national welfafe in this country, has just been completed by Sir James Woods, president of the Gordon, MacKay, Company of Tor- onto, Sir Jarfies“has - written 7,500 personal letters to professional and business associates urging their sup- port to the newly formed Health Leagie of Canada in its efforts to cafry forward a general campaign for health in Canada, The Health League, which is to assume some of the Dominion-wide activities of the Social. Hygiene Council, will have as one of its “most important objectives, the uni versal pasteurization of milk”, Sir James stated in that letter. In ad- dition to the letter which emphasized his own personal feelings and con- victions on the health problem, Sir James forwarded to each person, 4& copy of an address by Dr. Gordon Bates, general director of the Health League of Canada, given before the Ontario: Milk Distributors’ Associa- tion. Urging. that each pay special attention to the facts contained in that address Sir James concluded: “Unfortunately, a very large pro- tion of our milk supply in Canada is still unpasteurized, with the result that the best of our foods—milk— carries with it disease and death.” As an illustration of the difficultiés faced by local health authorities and the apathy, or very often prejudice, of community leaders in matters of community importance, Dr, Gordon Bates, nationally known public health authority and general director of the Health League of Canada, re- lates the following story. For ob- vious reasons the names must be omitted — though Ontario, is the actual location. ; “This village is beautifully situat- ed and is a mecca for thousands of summer visitors. The milk for this popular resort is supplied by seven dairies of which one only supplies pasteurized milk. As a result it is patronized by a great majority of the visiting city folk—all of whom presumably believe in pasteurized milk. : “But alas a bacteriological check- up reveals the fact that of all of the milk in town the so-called pas- teurized milk makes the worst show- fing with a count which frequently runs up over a million. “The Medical Officer of Health, a} part-time official paid’ a pittance for duties so onerous he cannot possibly perform them, has not visited the pasteurizing plant for years. The milk inspector, a somewhat elderly gentleman, retired from another call- ing with no training whatever, can do little to remedy the situation. The newspaper editor who might do something to help mould public opinion happens to be the patient of}: the doctor. He says the doctor is a fine fellow but he’s not so good on prevention. “Urged to print a series of articles on pasteurjzation the editor refuses and the fact comes out that Mr. Editor does not believe in pasteuriza- tion. He thinks that much of the scare of microbes and bacteria is fanciful. “Not far from the domicile of this intelligent editor is a boys’ camp supported by the generous-hearted activities of an energetic Service Club which I shall name. One of the major activities of the service club is the support of a Cripple Children’s Committee which supplies splints same club supplies raw milk to the boys in their boys’ camp. One of the great causes of crippling in children is, of course, bovine tuberculdsis carried by raw milk. Comment is unnecessary.” Did you know: One epidemic of typhoid fever in the city of Mont- real résulted in 5,000 cases, 500 deaths and is estimated to have cost the province of Quebec $20,000,000— and that epidemic was traced to milk. : Did you know: One epidemic of septic sore throat in Chicago, IIl., accounted for 10,000 cases and was traced to one single raw milk sup- ply coming to that city. Did you know: That ordinary raw milk is responsible for from 25 per cent. to 40 per cent. of all diarrhoeal diseases of children during the hot summer months. Did you know: That milk-borne typhoid and paratyphoid fever, scar- let fever and septic sore throat had resulted in 48 epidemics of those diseases in Canada ‘u 23 years, causing illness among 7,812 people and taking 681 lives. Did you realize: That one quart (40 fluid ounces) of milk is equal in food value to one pound of steak 22 cents, 11 eggs averaging a cost 33 cents, 3 pounds of fresh codfish a cost of 40 cents, 2% pounds chicken at an average cost of cents, 1 pound of loin pork at 22 cents or $1.00 worth of oysters? And that comparison does not in- clude the essential vitamins A, B, C, D and E which milk contains. “Dear, my doughnuts always seem to be so heavy.” “Why not try making them with} bigger holes?” y Reindeer For The Eskimo Will Supply Plenty Of Food For Natives Of The Far North More than 8,000 reindeer, ditiven by Seattle's Andy Bahr across coun try from Alaska to the ranges near the mouth of the Mackenzie river in western Canadian Arctic, produced 881 young in the first fawning of its new home. Last, fall Canadian government, which owns the herd, ordered 215 steers killed and fed to Eskimo chil- drén living at the Shingle Point Anglican school and the Aklavik Roman Catholic school. Native, pa- tients of two hospitals got some as well. All liked the meat. Rt. Rev. A. L. Fleming, Anglican bishop of the Arctic, said they commented en- thusiastically on its taste. Critics of the reindeer scheme have contended it would be difficult if not impossible to make the no- madic, hunting Eskimo change his ways and become ae travelling farmer, but the government held otherwise. Officials are pleased over the rein- deer meat experience at Shingle Point and@Aklavik. The regular, sup- ply of wild life food for the Eskimo will not last forever and they be- lieve teaching the Eskimo to be a herder is to a large extent a mat- ter of capturing his interest. Apprentice - herders, young men and boys, are being trained to look after the large herd. Eventually, it is hoped, these young men will be able to take charge of small groups of animals, move them to other parts of the Arctic and establish them as nuclei of other Herds that will guar- antee a source of food in the future for the Eskimo. When Crows Lost Count Five Marksmen Were Too Many For Clever Birds Crows can count in Germany. An old hunting box was converted into a shooting range near Berlin, and a dead hare was laid out on the field nearby as a bait to passing crows. The marksmen retired to the shoot- ing box, and waited. But the crows were not to be caught. They waited, | too. It was not until the marksmen went home that the crows descended from their hiding places in the trees and ate up the bait. Next time, two men with guns went into the shoot- ing box together. One went out and laid the bait, and then ostentatiously went away. But again the crows were not to be caught. They had seen two ----- go into the box. They waited until the second one went away as well. Then they ate the bait. The same thing happened when three men went into the box and two went away. The crows always wait- ed for the third man to leave as well. It was not until five men went together to the shooting box and four went away that the crows came down to the bait and gave the re- maining marksman a target. The birds had at last lost count. Parachute Jumper Had Thrill Caught On ’Plane And Had To Be Cut Loose Attempting his first parachute jump from a plane which was flying over the Ukraine, G. Rykalov got a thrill. According to a Moscow re- port the parachute became entangled in the tail of the machine flying sev- eral thousand feet above the earth. The pilot mounted higher to free the dangling Rykalov, but this failed. THe mechanic then climbed to the edge of the fuselage and tossed a knife and hammer to Rykalov so that he might cut the silken fabrics, but wind carried the implements out of Rykalov’s reach. The mechanic then attached a piece of sharp metal to a stick, and sawed the parachute from the plane. After 25 minutes of anxiety Rykalov was released. He opened his reserve parachute and floated to earth none the worse for his experience. Canadian Apple Production Up Apple production in Canada dur- ing 1935 showed an increase over 1934, due largely to the recovery of many trees which were slightly affected with winter injury in 19383- 34. The commercial production of apples in Canada for the year is estimated at 4,141,000 barrels com- pared with 3,891,000 in 1934 and the five-year average, 1930-34, of 4,063,- 000 barrgis.

P. Morgan’s definition of the leisure class as families “who can afford a maid,” . “Hmm, ke@ping a maid hasn't anything to do with leisure—not: in this modern age,” id Mrs. Fribley discussing a report of the -banker’s leisure class theory given at the Senate Munitions Committee investi- gation, Men who fake that attitude —and most men do—date themselves as thinking of modern housekeeping (household engineering, she called it) in terms of the hoopskirt age. That's what Mr. Morgan is doing. “Does ‘the woman active in busi- ness or social sérvice or as a lawyer, doctor or artist, who employs a housekeeper n@cessarily belong in the leisure class? Obviously no more so than the man office head who em- ploys a stenographer. The fact a man has to employ a_ stenographer and a housewife a maid generally in- dicates in this modern age only that they are busy folks.’’ Nor, she con- tended, is the employment of a maid or a stenographer necessarily related to wealth. It is a division of work, just as the international banker passes detail on to other people while he devotes his rticular ability to finance. The same principle, said Mrs. Fribley, a staunch advocate of the idea that “housework is a profes- sion,” applies to running a house- hold in the most efficient modern way. The woman artist is wasting energy trying to bake a pie when she isn’t gifted. in that line—‘“and not all women are born cooks as men tfink.” It would be better for art—to say nothing of the family’s digestion—if the woman turned the, pie-baking job over to another who could make crust that isn’t leathery, while she painted, Mrs. Fribley said. Great Drinkers Of Tea South African Business Men Follow The English System A travelling salesman finds South Africans very hospitable and great drinkers of tea. “It is quite possible for a man to represent goods and yet never touch alcohol. But I defy anyone to do business there without drinking tea,” he says. . “I have had as many as three in- vitations to tea between 10 and 11 in the morning of a single day.

This report was taken to mean Germany would lay the keels this year of five 10,000-ton cruisers, the number allowed under the accord, which permits the Reich to build to within .35-per cent. of the «British cruiser tonnage.

You snap Uncle Henry digging in the garden and standing by the car, im- maculately garbed to go somewhere. You take a picture of “Sis’ in her bathing suit at the seashore and again in her costume for winter Sports. You see the same face, but different togs, different activities. These are contrasts which you achieve almost unwittingly with your human subjects, but did it ever occur to you to try for such con- trasts with your scenic views? There is no end of opportunities which nature offers for pictorial studies in contrast. By returning to old scenes at different times and photographing them in the different robes in which they are clothed hy the climatic changes of the seasdéns you will obtain fome remarkably different pictures and at length have in your snapshot album a record of entrancing interest. Often such pic- torial contrasts are progressive gems of Mother Nature’s moods. And in taking pictures at different seasons and under different conditions we enlarge our repertoire of camera tricks—-or rather it would be best to say, widen our field of camera knowl- edge, for really good pictures are rarely the result of tricks.

These troubles, when severe, may cause a marked shrivelling of the wheat kernels. Of greater import- ance, however, is the tendency for the maturity of crops suffering from certain types of rootrot to be de layed, predisposing them to further injury from rust, frost, or both. Moreover, it has been shown by work conducted at the Dominion Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Sas- ‘ratoon, that the use of poor may result in severe rootrot infec- tions. , Seed samples containing a_ large proportion of badly shrunken ker- nels, but which are otherwise clean and sound, can be greatly improved by the use of the fanning mill. | this way the larger stronger grains are separated out and, if they pos- sess & high germination, they should be quite suitable for seed.

And the encouraging feature is that many of those responsib'e for noise are themselves trying to equip their motor cars, horses, warons, steam cr electric drills, factory whistles and locomotives, radios, with silencing devices. The London Ctly Council permits the costs of silencers on road drills to be added to the cost of breaking up the road.

Folk Songs London Woman Who Collected Songs From Many Lands The death in London recently of | Mrs. Julia Chatterton, recalls to mind a work in which she was in- defatigable, that of collecting folk music in many lands. For years she roamed abroad, and with the utmost difficulty, as well as quite frequently with the gravest danger, she wrote down the naive warmly-human songs of the simple people of such coun- tries as Morocco, Jugoslavia, Egypt, Greece, Albania, Spain and most of the more accessible European states. In her labors she was aided by the International Folk Song and Folk Lore Society, which she _ herself founded. Her ambition, cut short by an un- the world. Towards this end, she had gathered something over a thousand songs. One hopes that an- other person, equally indefatigable in this difficult and not-well-enough- recognized enterprise, will carry on from where Mrs. Chatterton left off. Such a finished volume would have especial interest for Canada, whose racial backgrounds find their origin | in almost every country in the Old World.

The Canadian Mint Thirty Million Dollars In Canadian Coins Have Been Turned Out It may surprise many to learn that more than $30,000,000 in Canadian coins have been turned out and plac- ed in circulation by the Canadian Mint. The commonest coin is the one- cent piece, of which more than 299,- 000,000 have been struck. There are more than 90,000,000 five-cent pieces, 86,000,000 ten-cent pieces, 44,000,000 quarters and 5,000,000 half-dollars scattered throughout the world. In April last year, be it noted, 428,120 Canadian silver dollars were minted, of which 417,760 were issued, but not many of those are in circu- lation, most of them being kept as souvenirs. Another uncommon Cana- dian coin is the silver twenty-cent piece. While this bit of Canadian currency is seldom seen, there are more than 46,000 of them in circula- tion. These statistics about the coins of Canadian currency in circulation are interesting; but what many needy Canadian families are worrying about at present is how to earn | them.—- Victoria Times . Competition In Chemicals In Germany Worries British Industry Increased production of German chemicals has resulted in keen world competition, Sir Harry McGowan, president of Imperial Chemical In- dustries, told the royal commission on the arms business in London. Sir Harry said it would be difficult to inform the commission regarding his transactions with other nations because of possible ob- the governments in- volved. He explained further that publication of imperial chemical transactions would provide informa- tion for competition who had been usually active since Germany entered the chemical field. The government's ban on exports of chlorine affected his company con- siderably, Sir Harry said. He denied, however, that Imperial Chemical was manufacturing poison gas at present.
