PPerhapq one of the reasons Chris- tian bfissions in,the East make slow progress is because, what the Eas- terner gets to know of the Wester- ner's way off livfing, even with his 'superior' religion, does not '.commend itself to him and he prefers to stick to his own. Last, week the corner stone of the. new women's residence of .University College, Toronto, was laid by Rev. Canon Cody. The building was made possible by a legacy left by E. C:; Whitney, a brother of the late Prem- ier Sir James Whitney. A fund had been started twenty-five years ago 'to provide for such a building but only $37,000 had'been collected and the project looked several years off still, when this legacy was left. It is forty-six years since women won the nght to attend lectures, and for over half that time women have been endeavoring to provide suitable ac- commodation for the students' of this college. • Women are gradually winning their way to the rights and privileges which should be theirs as human be - A writer in a London newspaper,ings.

ECZEMA GOES`"" IN SEVEN DAYS OR MONEY .BACK Thousands of people who suffer from itching skin, eczema ' and un- sightly eruptions will be glad to know that. Moone's F.nierald Oil, a clean, powerful, penetrating antisep- tic oil, will !banish, their trouble in seven days or less. For years they have been using_ ointments and salves, and while they' helped to relieve the itching, soreness and pain they often choked the pores and did not allow the poisonous nat- ter to escape. Moone's Emerald Oil (full strength) overcomes this objection, for this oil penetrates down through the pores and leaves them free to discharge all poisonous secretions. It is highly concentrated, and only a few drops are required 'at an appli- cation. Yotl can get it at W, S. R.

Each package marked Chinaware contains a piece of fine English ware, old ivory tint, new irregular borders. Five provinces have already nego- tiated their agreements with the Do- minon as to the amount of Federal aid which will be` given and the terms upon which it is to be granted. In addition the Dominion has undertak- en to guarantee interest charges on branch line construction work by the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Na- tional Railways, While four Provinces are still -to coiliplete their agreements it is es- timated here that the $20,000,000 voted by parliament last month as an emergency relief measure will re- sult in gross expenditures of ap- proximately $65,000,000 upon under- takings that would otherwise have been delayed one, two or three years. In the type of works being encour- aged the percentage paid out in primary wages will represent about $50,000,000 and this through re -cir- culation is expected to exercise an important influence in reducing ac- tual hardship. Insofar as the provinces and muni- cipalities are concerned works pro- grams are being pushed ahead at .least a year, while' the guarantee to the railways means an immediate start on a program projected for three years hence and involving an outlay of approximately $20,000,000. The staff of the Department of Labor has been extended to take charge of Canada's largest relief ef- fort,for the $20,000,000 voted for e purpose in September is twenty times as great as any previous outlay for the purpose.

A pond 801-2 feet deep, covering 84 aeres feeds the eight locks. The span of the lift bridge at Peter Street, Thorold, is 80 feet, and lock 8 with a length of 1,- 380 feet is the longest in.the world. The greatest width of the entrance to Port Weller, at the Ontario end, is 800 feet. Over 8,000,000 cubic yards of rock have been excavated, and more than 28,000,000 pounds of rein- forcing steel used. It is interesting to note that the first Welland canal was 8 feet deep, and was practically completed in 1828 over 100 years ago, and the first vessels having been locked through early in the following year. The New Welland ship canal `built by the Canadian Government at a cost of $120,000,000 is practically completed.

Headed by Premier Bennett, who is a season- ed traveller, the delegation has taken up its headquarters at Canada house. l\tr. Bennett has come armed with a wealth of decumentary proof of his contention that mutually beneficial trade is possible on an enormous scale. Some regret has been expres- sed over the fact that the important meetings of the eonference will be held in camera and that a great deal. of the information and views pre- sented will never escape the confer- ence hall.

The Junior Red Cross is an organ- ization of 11,000,000 children in 41 countries of the world, It is affil- iated with the Senior Red Cross and all administration costs are borne by the Senior Red Cross so that all money raised by the Juniors can be used to help needy children. The aim, of the Junior Red Cross is four fold, viz: Health, Service, Citizenship and World Friendship and its motto is "I Serve." By writing the Junior Red Cross headquarters at Toronto the teacher can get the "Teacher's Guide" con- taining all information. At the or- gmlization meeting officers are chos- en and the duties of each explained, A name is also chosen and a motto agreed upon. All this information is returned to headquarters then cer- tificates, pennants, posters, rule cards and buttons are sent to the group. A fee of fifty cents may be paid but it is not compulsory. Each group receives(:copies of the Junior Red Cross magazine which may be sold to raise money for the "Crippled Children's Fund." Meetings should be held weekly or bi••weekly and should be conduct- ed by the pupil members in a busi- ness like manner under the teacher's supervision. Renew Shipments Canadian Cattle To British Market Ottawa, October 6; (Special to The News -Record) — Froin Lethbridge, Alberta, a shipment of 100 steers was consigned tp the British Isles re- cently. This would lead ono to be- lieve the optimistic reports of the im- provement in trade ofall kinds with the mother country. ,For the past years the British cattle market has been dull so fer as Canadian cattle were concerned' and the recent ship- ment from Lethbridge is the first from Alberta for a considerable per- iod. Montreal also reports several consignments of live prime steers have leen shipped from there its the past few weeks to Britain. The time thus spent is not wasted but serves to train for citizenship The work ®may be co -related with many subjects on the curriculum. Mr. Beacon introduced the,stibjeet of Uniform Promotion Examinations and invited discussion as to whether to continue or discontinue ; them. About half of the inspectors in the Province use them while the other half do not. Without their use pro- motions would be made from grade - to grade on the record of the year's work. The teachers entered into lively discussion on the question which when threshed out was voted on with the result that the majority fa- vored their retention. ,Miss Esther Iiume, of the Goder- ich staff, took a lesson in Arith- metic with a Junior Third Class on Bills and Accounts. Her method of development was as a game of keep- ing store. First, the necessity of re- ceiving and .of giving a bill was de- veloped.

Daddy is on the road but he doesn't want to become a stranger to his son. And so, every Monday and Thursday evening, he pays a visit by telephone. It doesn't cost much because he waits until eight -thirty when the lowest night rates begin. It amounts to about the price of a movie for a call and in return he gets something beyond money — the voices of his wife and his little boy — a touch of hone — moments of affection for them all to remember and look forward to. Many people away from home are using the telephone these days to have regular visits with their families. Out-of-town calls are so simple to make and they are quick and inexpensive. They are the next best thing to being really home.
