Government could, not afford'' to take one thousand young people from the rural com- munities, that is five hundred of each sex, then it could cut down the num- ber of young men and take an equal number of young women. The Gov- ernment however, has decided to take half the number of women, Weshall have to be content with that. After all, if women get half- the privileges men enjoy : it will be some advancement. The Far- mer's Advocate suggests that the young women should be taken to the C.N,E., as they 'could gather more from it than from the . Royal, . as they are essentially interested• in homemaking. Time is past for giving the masculine members of the family all the advantages. You May Wear Your Old Dress The styles, said by press reports to have been exhibited at the Winter exhibitions in Paris, are no noticen- able departure from present styles in this country. • If women follow these fashions tine winter there is no reason to ex- pect that the quantity of goods to be used in the manufacture of women's dresses will varyy, noticeably because of the change in the length of dres- ses. • According to the press reports. sports hems remain unchanged morn- ing frocks are 12 inches from the floor, those for afternoon 8 inches and evening dresses are about ankle Iength. These styles are along the lines of the dictates of stylists during tho spring exhibition and are not far re- moved from the present preference of Canadian women. • Substantial Salad Following is a• salad that is sub- stantial enough for a main course and easily prepared.

Bennett Government to implemen M'. Bennett's pledge to deal with th unemployment problem, While the date of convening the session cannot be fixed until it is known whether the return of hninis- ters will be opposed in by-elections,, it is the intention to bring the mem- bers together at the earliest possible. date in :September. The Speech'from the' Throne is expected to deal only with the business of the session, which is' unemployment, and it is the decision of the 'Government that the' entire 'session need not exceed two weeks 1n length. :Another suggestion was- that a regular session be Balled and the House adjourned until 'after the New Year as soon as emergency legisla- tion was passed. This has, it is understood been rejected in, favor' of the two -Week sitting for .which mem- bers will draw only the' statutory allowance of $25 per day. The legislation ' to be presented will include provision for cooperation with the Provinces and municipali- ties to forward public works which might otherwise be postponed for .a year or two. A considerably ex- panded program of Federal, public works is also indicated. These courses are aimed at the temporary relief of unemployment. The broader policy advocated by Mr. Bennett in his campaign strives to reach basic conditions through agri- cultural and industrial encourage- ment. This hinges upon tariff ad- justments of a. controversial charac- ter and specific action will depend largely the course of events at the Pconomio ennference in London. Hence tariff •adjustments, beyond nrobable :susrensinn of countervail- ing duties. will not be taken 1113 by the emergency session of the House.

In fact Mr. BIM' has indicated his readiness to facilitate matters cer- met where t,is nerty might find it - golf in conflic=t with the adniinistrn- Hon on vital principles of govern- ment. and Foreign o0 sistant secretary of the Treasury, who, by virtue of his office , super- s , vises the border patrols operated' by f, e e Canada is Vitally Concerned in Em- pire Economic Conference The most important economic con- ference in the history of the British Empire is scheduled to take place in London during October and No- veinber. The exact date of its commence- ment will be announced as soon as Premiers Bennett can indicate with some certainty the time of conclhding the special session 'of the Canadian House. An important, if not complete re- vision of the attitude of the United Kingdon to' ards tariff is embodied in the proposals to be laid before the conference and the success or failure in securing acceptance of these pro-` posais lies, by common consent, main- ly in the ability of Canada's new prime minister to sell his idea to the people of the Mother country. Success, or failure, in the endeavor is of the first importance to Canada and to other sections of the Empire, as well as to 'Britain. Success means that through the working out of a system of mutually beneficial pro+ ferences the British market for wheat and dairy and food :products will be retained for Empire products, while overseas dominions 'till give to Bri- tish manufacturers their markets for such goods as must be imported. A century -old ilversion in Britain to 'protective tariffs particularly on foodstuffs—is the barrier which Mr. Bennett must bleak down to achieve his objective. There are indications that economic conditions are working in his interest; that the •feeling is vowing that cheap food is dear if there is no money to buy it. Canada's offer is the promise to. open the Canadian market to British industry— in non-competitive fields —on a basis which will stimulate in- dustrial prosperity there, in return for preferential treatment by Britain for Canada's grain and other agri- cultural products. The effort to sell the idea to the Britisher will be followed with the keenest interests by the farming pop- ulation of the Dominion. Unless it succeeds the Canadian farmer will, within a very few years, be subjected to ouch more pressing competition from the 28 -cent -per: -day labor of Soviet Russia, where scientific farm- ing 'methods 'are only now, making their influence felt in production and where an area greater than that a- vaijablo in Canada awaits the plow. information reaching Canada in- dicates that Mr. Bennett's task is not as hopeless as it, aright have been even a year ago. ' Free trade in Bri- tain has always boasted kindred ad- vocates in labor,' and, strangely enough, in the great financial inter- ests. President Tom *ore of the Canadian' Trades and Labor Congeras recently returned from Europe to an- nounce that in Britain he found a- inong labor a decided trend in favor of protection: Almost simultaneous- ly a conference of the foremost Bri- tish bankers went oh record as to the futility of Britain sticking to free trade while ,the rest of the world piled up tariff barriers. Those influences nhayr provide an opening for the thin end of the Bee - nett Wedge. In 'any event the con- ference is. fraught with the greatest significance to agricultural' Canada. 25,000,000 Cross Border .

"In proportion to population more Canadian cars enter the United States than American cars enter • Canada," .he continued. "This is partly accounted for by the fact that many Canadians, work in the factor- ies on the American side and cross over and back every day.

OUR BODIES The human body, ie made up of milliorie" of cells. These ulcus are so small that we require a micro- scope in order to see them, and so they are 'called microscopic. Each cell is complete in itself. It is composed of protoplasm and is pro-. video with an outer wall. The cells reproduce themselves by the simple process of division. There are different kinds of cells. One type is the muscle cell and when we have a number of muscle cells. we have muscular tissue. Each or- gan of the body is made up• of sev- eral tissues, andeachexists for some special purpose. The heart, for • example, is an 'organ which serves to pump the blood. The body' is frequently compared to an engine. An engine requires fuel, and so does the body. The -body receives fuel in the form of food, water and air. An engine provides energy, and so does the body. Body energy is seen when we use our mus- cles,. and we are constantly using this energy to keep our hearts pump- ing and to provide the heat neces- sary to keep our bodies warm. An engine wears out and so does the body. The rate of wear and the point at which it occurs depend largely upon the care that is given. The, body differs .cfrom. an engine in some important paints, ,The most important difference is that the se" BO& 1 body is built up of living cells and that it is not just a fine piece of mechanism, as much as it has a 1 mental quility.. which allows ,it to 1 feel and to think and to direct its activities. Because the body is composed of living cells, it is enabled to grow, and new cells can replace worn ones up to a certain point. Unlike the engine, because the body is living, it cannot be shut down for repairs, nor can new parts be installed as can be done in an engine. There rare persons who live as if they thought they could secure a new body any day for the asking. They throw all kinds of needless burdens on their bodies, they over- work and 'overload them without giving them time for recuperation'. This leads inevitably to an early wearing out of the tissues. Those who understand how their bodies are built and how then' oper- ate, pay attention to the reasonable demands made by the body to en- able it to remain in good running order and not wear out quickly, The ability of the body to stand up, for a time, under abuse is no reason for permitting it to do se, because abuse of this type always brings its train of harnful effects.
