GO TO THE BARN WITH A
LANTERN
If you would learn to love the night
Cross it by a lantern's light,
Go out to feed the living things
,Man has taken .beneath his wings,
The lantern turns you to a god,
And your shadow as you plod
Outreachesearth and disappears
Into tlie'.graveyard •of the •years,
• Where ,the stars. ai - the brighter .spread
For the shadow of your head;
Your legs are so gigantic grown
They cover all the earth alone..
And they move along so fast
You can feel your heart grow vast.
You reach the barn and find a place,
Another universe in space,
Where you can play the deity,
Pitch down June and sun and see
Beauty, standing on four feet
And wearing velvet, bow and eat.
These are not eyes that beam on
you,
But piety and globes of dew,
Fealty, a holy fire.
Patient, primordial desire.
The. 'breathings from these nostrils
spread t
Into halos round your head,
Here in the light, without a mind,
The cows believe and find you kind,
Here in the light of a hand -made
sun
Is worship to makea god of one.
—Robert R. Tristram Coffin, in the
Yale Review.
(But be sure—be very sure that
the lantern is a safe one and care-
fully placed.)
"If you would know what a woman
doesn't mean, listen to what she
says."
Tne above is clipped from an ex-
change and is supposed to be a joke.
I wonder how many more years it
will take for men to realize that
women are very much like men;, that
some of them use words to- cover up
what they mean, just as some men
do, that others are altogether too
outspoken, as some men are, and
others, the great majority, are de-
cently discreet in the use of words,
just as the great majority of men
are? My experience has been that
men talk just as foolishly -=land as
wisely—as. women, and that neither
sex has a monopoly of "gab." It
used to be a great joke amongst any,
the way women talk 'in meetings.
But my experience in reporting
meetings, some of men, some of wo-
men and some mixed, is that the
honours are about even.
Living Conditions Important
Prominent insurance companies
have been conducting• investigations
to determine the most important fac-
tor determining longevity and they
report that living conditions are
more important than heredity.
From the point of view of long-
evity environmental influences are
stillmore powerful than heredity,
the report reads, and the gain in ex-
pectation of life from good heredity
isnotlarge as as that obtained' by
the improvement in social and health
eonditions'hi recent years and much
less than • that still attainable by
such means.
These conclusions are drawn •from
a study of thousands of lives and the
very fact that these findings are the
result of work done by insurance
awn/mules adds tremendous weight
to their reliability. Accuracy of
statistical calculations is essential to
the success of the insurance busi-
ness.
Some Recipes -.
Have you ever tried a grilled;
tomato and hani sandwich? If not you
might try this for the light evening
]ileal or as a substantial snack for
young folk after the rink: •
;Take a slice of boiled ham 1-4 inch
thick and about three inches square.
Spread with French mustard. On top
of this place a thin slice of Canadian
cheese and a slice or tomato. Grill
under broiler until cheese is melted
and tomato browned.
At this time of year, too, when the
days are short and the air is crisp in
the sunny afternoons, a cup of tea
and a sandwich makes a pleasant•
break in the afternoon. For evening
parties too, coffee and sandwiches
are aways an easy and tempting re-
freshment to serve. New fillings for
sandwiches are always attractive to
the hostess and the following tested
recipe will be found appetizing: .
[Cut 'thin slices of bread and but-
ter and spread with the following:
Mix well `1 tablespoon of flour, 1
egg, 1-2 teaspoon of mustard, 1-2
teaspoon salt, 1-4 teaspoon pepper,
1 teaspoon of sugar. Add to 1 cup of
boiling milk with 1 tablespoon of
butter and boil for three minutes.
Take off the stove and beat in 1-2
cup of vinegar slowly. Then add 2
chopped pimentos, 1 cup cheese, 2
hard boiled eggs and 2 chopped ol-
ives. The mixture is ready for use
when cool, will keep In cool weather
and -will make a large number of
sandwiches. If a smaller quantity
is needed, halve the recipe.

In the Grey Room of the Archives
is . a small bust of Charles James
.Fox, a figure connected with the his-
tory of England from 1749-1806,
Charles Janles Fox was the third
son of Henry Fox and was the grand-
son of Charles 11.
"nn the bust of the distinguished
man at the Archives will •be seen
some of the early characnteristics
which were noted of• him when he
began pubilo life. ' }Ie was stout and
his face is rotund. It is the model
of a handsome man but as was said
his "swarthy countenances; j a 'sat-
urnine' aspect but his smile was al-
ways pleasant'k
The life of Fox is interesting to
Canadians chiefly because he oppos-
ed the Quebec government bill, ob-
jecting to the providing for, the dur-
. ation of the Canadian parliaments,
the reserves for the clergy and the
institution of an hereditary nobility
' to sit in the council. The reference
he made to French politics in the
course of debates in the House on
this subject made a breach between
him and Burke, the noted Irishman
of the government of that time,
Biographies have been written a-

Burwash Airplane has Great Record
Ottawa, Ont.i•18th. The salvaged
airplane in which Major L. T. Bur -
wash, noted Canadian Arctic explorer
flew to King William Island and the
magnetic pole a few weeks ago has
perhaps the most interesting history
of any plane used in the Canadian
Aretic.
In 1928 "Punch" Dickens one of the
best known north country pilots,
flew the now famous G—.Cask Fokker
monoplane over the Chesterfield In-
let country on the west coast of Rud -
son 113ay. Thiswas the first flight
over 'this territory and . was the
means of "Punch" getting the Mn- '
Kee trophy, awarded annually to an
outstanding Canadian Pilot. In 1929
the same plane was flown by W, L.
Brintnell, of the Western Canada
Airways,. limited, .to the 16acKenzie-
region. It was in this plane that 0.
S. Finnie, of the North West Ter-
ritories branch flew from Aklavik to
Dawson City.
Later in the year the Cask plane
formed one of the McAlpine flight
wlhich wa1,t nd t on the shores sof
Queen Maud gulf for some weeks.
When McAlpine party was tnesetred
and the planewas left at Dease
Point and eleven months later Pilot
Buchanan and Pilot Gilbert of the
Western Canada Airways, Limited,'
flew from Coppermine to Dease
Point and Buchanan flew the plane
out.
Pilot Buchanan was on his way to
McMurray with the plane when' the
one used by Gilbert, in which Major
Burwash was to snake his flight,
blew a cylinder. Wireless conimuni-
cation from Coppermine to McMur-
ray brought news of the accident to
Gilbert's plane and IBuchanan was
sent back to Coppermine. Here Gil-
bert took charge and flew the plane
over 280 miles to make one of the
most Hazardous flights ever attemp-
ted in Canada's northland. The plane,
after its eleven months' exposure.
had not even received a complete
overhaul before it was dispatched on
the lengthy trip.
•
' The Cask, as the fokker plane is
called by the Arctic airmen, is now
at McMurray being overhauled prior
to being sent back to work' in the
northland.

THE TOWEL
Most people realize that because
our hands conn into contact with so
many objects, they become soiled and
4ontaminated with bacteria or germs..
Many of the germs which our hands
pick up are harmless, but sonic of
them belong to the disease producing
group.
If the disease germs present on
our hands are to cause trouble, they
must gain entrance into the body,
Food or drink may be contaminated
by the hands, and so the germs are
taken into the mouth along with
food or drink. Hands may be carried
to the face, and the, soiled fingers
touch the lips or nose. In this way,
diseass,e germs are transferred to the
inter* of thenbody.
It is for these reasons we teach
that the hands tshould be kept away
from the face and that they ehquld'
always be thoroughly washed before'
food is touched. ' There is no doubt
that clean hands afford one of the
most practical safeguards against
disease which we possess.
When the hands ai'e thoroughly
washed, we get rid of the gross dirt
and a large percentage' of the germs
Iying on the skin. The hands are not
sterilized by washing. By that we
mean that all germs on the skin are
not destroyed as they are when, for
example, we boil objects in water.
Practically, this means that when
the hands are wiped on the towel,
some living germs are Ieft on the
towel,. If the towel is frequently us-
ed, or if it is kept in use for some
days, the number of living germs on
the towel increases.
•I) the same towel is used by more
than one person, then each user not
only leaves solve of the germs of his
handson the towel, but also, as he
uses the towel, he picks up on his
hand some of the germs which other
users ofthe towel have left on it,
It has been proved that this is
what actually happens. Oar reason
-for-bringing it to the attention of
our 'readers is that it -has a practical
meaning for each one in his daily
life. •
It is obvious that the common tow-
-el, whether in the home or elsewhere,
roan be responsible for the sperad of
disease germs. This means that we
should have our own towel and never
use one belonging to another person.
Above all, we should shun the public
towel just' as we avoid the common
drinking cup.
Ideally, a towel should be used but
once. In any case, newels should be
'frequently changed because they do
become heavily laden with bacteria.
True, most of these bacteria are re-
latively harmless, but we never know
when they may be some disease pro-
ducers among thein.
