Yention methods which d by Alberta would be of a school of crimin- tion with Alberta Uni- ssioner W. C. Bryan al police has suggested Scieno Proves Immortality Nobel Prize Winner Scouts Theory of Evolution Chicago.—Evideliee pointing to im- mortality, now before natural Science, once, is found convincing by Prof, Arthur H. Compton,.acknowledg,K1 to be cite of the world's most distin- guished physioitst, .in the current University of Chicago Magazine. Professor Compton discards the view that man is merely a biological organism reacting mechanically to his environment. "It seems rather," Iso writes, "that our thinking is parti- ally divorced from our 'brain." The old doctrine of evolution and the survival of the fittest, he notes, Is being severely questioned, Pro- fessor Cpmpton himself apparently regards It as untenable, Instead of an evolution guided only by blind ehance, he takes a totally different view. He regards evolution as in- telligent minds.On this basis lie terms the thoughts of man "perhaps the most hispertant things in the world," If, therefore, intelligence and char- acter are of extraordinary "invariance in the scheme of evolution, man's an- nihilation, he concludes, would he "in- finite waste." Professor Compton Is one of the three American whiners of the Nobel Prize for physics. It was awarded for his discovery of the "Compton ef- fect," proving that light consists of corpuscles, like a shower of tiny 'pro- jectiles. He followed up this achieve- ment by giving the world this year the first definite outlines of the struc- ture of the atom. Material Theory Inadequate The theory that 'thought Is a func- tion of the brain, in the sense that every idea and every decision is a consequence of some action oecut- ring in the brain, is discarded by the physicist as inadequate. This theory reduces a man's behavior to that of an automaton, but Professor Comp - toe observes that a certain freedom of choice may be considered as an experimental fact with which the- ories must be reconcilid. If there is freedom, he points out, then there must be at least some thinking quite independently of any corresponding cerebral process. "Mi ,examination of the evidence scenic," he says "to show that 'the correspondence between brain ac- tivity and consciousness is not very close. The detailed proof of Profes- sor Bergson that, -there is infinitely imorean a human consciousness than in the corresponding brain,' rind that 'the mind overflows the brain on all sides, and cerebral activity corres- ponds only to a small part of mental activity,' (Mind -Energy pp. 41 and 57) seems convincing. "That consciousness must die with the body is thus logically required viewpoint- that a definite thought is the result of an equally definite physical change in the brain. The seeming fact of free will makes this viewpoint appear to me highly im- probable. It seems rather that our thinking is partially divorced from. our brain, a conclusion which sug- gests, though cif Course does npt prove, the possibility of conscious- ness after death."

Old silk dresses, ready for the rag- bag, provide excellent materials for cutting or tearing Into the necessary strips, which should be about an inch wide for average weight fabrics. By using taste in the arrangement of the strips, pleasing color schemes, somewhat resembling hand-woven linens, may be worked out. Plain colored silks are likely to make pret- tier runners. The net may be used in its original color, or may be tinted or dyed. Its color decides, more, or less, the general tone of the color of the runner. "I'd like to know it George has any bad habits."

Britain Makes 40 -Knots Easily With No Pressure on Engines • London—What, is believed to be the fastest warship in the world, has just completed her trials for the Bri- tiah Nelda reaching a speed of forty knote at times without pressing her machinery hi any way. This le the new destroyer flotilla leader, Codrington, 1,520 tons, corn - Meted last june at the Swan & •Hunter Shipyard in Glasgow, To the Adnairality officials her speed came as a revelation for she obtained an average of 18 knots dur- ing a four-hour test, and reached a speed two knots higher at times. In conformity to the Admiralty's regale. lions, her engines never were let out to, full power, though If they had been there. is no doubt in the minds of British naval men that the Cod- rington would have smashed existing ,records easily. The most remarkable feature of the Codringtou'i achievement, In the opinion of the Admiralty, is that .she reached the forty 'knots without eta ceeding the 'designed horsepower of 89,000, although she had been de- signed to reach a speed of only thirty-five knots. Nothing in the other 'navies has been produced. to outdistance this British whippet; which with a full load could streak acroee the Atlantic in three and half days if top speed could be main- tained.

Centenarian Dies At Home In Ontario Smith Falls, Ont.—Robert Smith, 100 years old, died here on Dec. 15th. Two weeks ago the most serious ill- ness of the few which came to him in his long life, forced him to cease do- ing light chores about his home. The centenarian had always been proud of his record of seldom missing a day's work. To hard work ho =trite uted his longevity. He died shortly after expressing regret that he was unable to be "up and about". • Famous Gate Hangs In Buffalo Alley Buffalo, N.Y.—One of the mas- sive gates from historic Newgate Prison in England hangs almost un- noticed hi a Buffalo alley awaiting transfer by its owner to the building f the Buffalo Historical Society in Delaware Park.

H. Ottawa—Canadian trade declined during the month of November by $71,003,828 in comparison with the corresponding month last year, ac- cording to figures published in the current issue of the National Revenue Review., In November, 1929, trade for the month was valued at $221,979,- 663; last months this had dropped to $150,975,885. • Export from Canada deolined in value from' $111,063,871 (exclusive of $2,177,684 foreign re-exports) to $73,- 060,871 (exclusive of $1,551,162 foreign re-exports). At the same time imports into this country dropped from $108,- 733,697 to $76,363,802. Illustrating the effect of the low- ered price of wheat, the figures show that while $23,550931 was received for the export of 22,444,000 bushels of wheat in November last year. only $21,670.030 was received for the ex- port of 31,217,294 in November just parsed. Bird -Care Abroad In Czechoslovakia, that long, thin piece of country running across a part of Central Europe, the school boys and girls in every town and village throughout the Republic are taught how to build the prettiest and neaten food boxes for the birds. After they are made the children are shown the best spots in which to place them, after which it is 'their duty to keep these special food boxes well supplied. This is no task because these boys and girls are particularly devoted to all birds and animals and it is their great pleasure to watch and care for them. ;—:—_ Russian Inventor Designs New Electric Train Moscow.—Russia may give the world a new electric retiree' train which operates on ball ,bearings in- stead of wheels.

By Margaret Vale • A woman dreamed, and In her vision saw • A- distinct star so great and glorious, She prayed with all her soul that she might find And live within the beauty of its light. Long, long she sought, unheeding hardship, pain. She found at last a simple room, Of beauty barren and of comfort bare, But with a little cradle by the hearth, Stifling a sigh, with care and patient toil She made the humble room into a home, And rocked to sleep ttlie child within the crib. Then soft she rose and stole outside the door, And gazed by through the cold with searching eyes, Seeking still that star her spirit yearned. A sound mune from within. She hastened back And gently bent above the restless Who waking wonder -gazed into her eyes, For there it saw—a shining star, and smiled, And then the woman, slowly smiling —hack, Saw suddenly within the child's glad eyes, Clear mirrored from her own—the vita Ioned star, Egmont Portraits -.

'The cow's tail is mounted aft and has a universal joint. It ie used to disturb marauding flies and the tassel on the end has unique educational value. Persons who come in contact with the tassel have vocabularies of peculiar and impressive force. "The cow has two stomachs. The one on the ground floor is used as a warehouse and has no other function, When this one is filled, the cow re- tires to a quiet spot where her bad manners will occasion no comment. The raw material thus conveyed for the second time to the interior of her face is pulverized and delivered to the auxiliary stomadh, where it is converted into cow. "The cow has no upper plate. All of her teeth elre parked in the lower Part of her face. This arrangement was perfected by an efficiency expert to keep her from gumming things. upa As a result she bites up and gum's down."

E3.417*• Health of Eskimos .Being Safeguarded New Medical Post Established at Chesterfield For Dept. of the Interior Dr. L. D.

Bruce,, who melt remain, at this point fas the next two years. The immense Yalu:, of the medical posts maintained in the North by the Department of the Interior is illus- trated by the number of cases at- tended by Dr. Livingstone during his four mouths at ChesterVeld. Dr. Liv- ingstone left Ottawa for the Hudson: Bay Point early in the year add trairelled by rail to Churchill, making the latter part of his journey from ' the Pas to the terminus of the Hud- son Bay railway in twenty -eaves hours.

In ahaut twenty-five families were • visited, representing about Ind no, lives. This is about one-third, of the estimated Eskimo population of the coast,. the majority of the natives - having not returned from their id laud camps, At Cheeterfreld the ma tive population numbers about 150, while the number ef white men sel- dom exceeds twelve or fifteen. These latter include Government officials such as the wire.ess operators, the Royal Mounted Police detachment, and the medical officer; those is charge of the trading posts; this nate M:mattes; and transient, mining men.

A severe eas densie of influenza. which broke out shortly after the airiva, of the first ship, spread along the Hudson hay coast from as far south as Churchill to as far north as Southampton island. Fortunatele the outbreak reached its peak at Chesterfield dur- ing the fine weather in July and that period of warm, dry days was an int - portant factor in the low death rate It has the Russian spirit that is everywhere fashionables gather.

Use for Old Paper Do not discard the soft paper the' comes into the house, such as wrap ping tissue paper that is not good enough to use again for that purpose, waxed paper from breodstuffs, the tissue fruit wrappings and so on. Keel them in a basket and you will find they serve many purposes in the kit' ellen that will reduce labor. Use those for removing grease from the sink, after sprinkling sink liberally with a cleansing powder. The grease will not be washed down the drain pipe and the paper can be burned or thrown away. Use it for greasy pans and saucepans and save stating a dish cloth. Soft paper is better than a cloth for cleaning windows and there will be no rags to wash. "Hey, Pop.
