Routley, Director of the Ontario Di- vision of-the'Canadian Red Cross So- ciety, recently when addressing the Women's Canadian Club,in London. ''She is the Link between the scientific proteases of pnblie health measures: and the -public that has to use hem."' He then told of the public health nurs- ing courses which are now established in six Canadian Universities through the efforts of the Canadian Red Cross; of the institution of travefliug tuber- celors clinics; of'elle nation=wide in stri,tion-in Horne Nursing Claws through which in the past four years. over 11,000 women have received this valuable 'training and -he expressed the opinion that in a. few years' time this studywould be:added,to theordi- n; ey school curriculum for girls. In speaking of the Outpost; Hospitals, so many of which are now being oper- ated by the Red Cross throughout the frontier portions of. the Dominion, Dr. Routley paid tribute to the mag- , noficent services of the nurses In these institutions and referred to the need for health education of 'school' chil- dren through the Junior Red Cross or other agency because "the produc- tion of a health conscience is every child in Canada would go a long way toward wiping out the worst of our Preventable diseases." Dr, Routley, a few days later, when Balled into conference with the Medi- cal Survey Committee of the Women's Institutes of Ontario at the Parlia- ment Buildings in Toronto, said that in his opinion an adequate nursing service was the beat solution ,of the health and welfare problems which are presented not only in New On- tario but in many older parts of the country and he told how the Outpost Hospitals of Canada in the last three and a half years had reached 4,000 women in shucks and cared for over 6,000 patients. Ilis suggestion regarding the moat effective means of providing the nec- essary care of the health of the peo- ple in remote rural sections was that wherever possible there should be a small health centre such as the Out- post Hospitals, with a nurse in charge and at least one helper. It might be opened in any available building and might only contain two bods as did many of the frontier outposts already in existence, but it could do a great work, for besides her work of healing in the hospital, the nurse in charge could give expert pre=natal, natal and post -natal advice to mothers, could extend to parents the information so many of them so badly need regard- ing food and diet; and could help in other ways to ward off preventable Illnesses. "The nursing service should never he confined to hospitals," said Dr. Itoatley. in conclusion. "It ought to permeate the whole community and if it be at all possible such smal},emer- gency hospitals or health centres ought to exist in every settlement so that the necessary health education might be within reach of all our people."

One of the tragedies of spring is the frequency with which promise is nipped in the bud. `A few days of sunshine come together, and we cast our "clouts" and delude ourselves into thinking that summer has arrived. Then the east wind returns, our hopes are nipped in the bud; and 'we are lucky if we do not spend a few days under the sheets and under the doctor. The funny thing is that Nature makes the same mistake. Birds are often deluded by false signs of sum- mer. •In the orchard the apple trees deck themselves in blossom as for a bridal; then comes a frost, and the promise of fruit is nipped in the bud and the orchard grass is strewn thick with pink petals. And what Nature does in the gar- den and orchard we too often do to our children. We nip then in the bud, The frost of our sternness and lack of understanding and kindly sympathy, blights their childish en- thusiasms and kills their premature hopes and aspirations. Children are often made very mis- erable in this way, and often perman- ent harm is done. Tho nature that was blossoming so sweetly is sup- pressed and brought to nothing. 1 am convinced we have much room, for improvement in this reaped, not only in regard' to little children, but to our big boys and girls, and even to our young men and women. Dis- trust and criticism are frosty things. They are the east winds of life; very destructive. There is evidence that every age has been hard on its rising genera- tion. It is time this age tried a dif- ferent course. Occasionally we get at propitious hpring, when hardly any- thing is nipped in the bud, and it pro- duces a bumper year for crops. Why, then, bo scornful and biting with youth, losing no opportunity of raiI- ing at them, belittling them, calling them names? It is a bad habit, with perhaps a little of jealousy and envy in it. In any case, it is time it stopped. Older people have had their springtime, and have forgotten the great exhilara- tions that stirred their blood, fired their imagination, and raised' their hopes and expectations. Consequently they lecture the youngsters, take the nfsternly to tar*, and tell them taradiddles about- what they did, and didn't, when they were their age; how they reverenced their parents and obeyed their slightest wish; how they respected their super- iors; how' they worked like galley. slaves and seldom took a holiday; how they rose with the lark and came home early! It's very funny. I would not like to assert that the yoangsters, take.thenl sternly to task, think they are. They're iioti But for heaven's sake let thenthink so, for a boy may often become what he thinks he can become. Do not nip their young shoots of bombast and brag in the bud. They do no hasrn, and may bear good, sound fruit: They need more encouragement: not suppression, and"sitting on," No fiower ever bloomed the better for being nipped in the bud. It wilted, and died; proved a failure and dis- appointment, Buds flourish best in the sunshine and warmth. Do Not Burn Marshes in Spring. Considerable damage is done to. wild life by the burning of marshes in spring, according to a warning issued by the Commissioner of Can- adian National Parks, When marshes are burned in spring the cover filet might shelter the nests of waterfowl and form a protection for young birds is destroyed. Trappers report that muskrats are often found singed when the marshes in which they live have been burned. The natural cover afforded by marsh growth in spring. is valuable to wild life, and this can- not 4be destroyed without causing serious consequences, Much grief will come this year to those farmers who do riot; take time to test their seed corn. The opera had began to fill the" Jonquelle did not He ,remained idling eigaret in<his flnge air, a' well-bred; The whole house was not a vacant., seat. It was the :last, performance' in Paris of Mme. lZfrtenzoff'e Salome. A few belated: persons passed M. Jonquelle and entered life doors to the boxes. .Some ' of . these persons addressed him; all regarded hhn. He was a well-known figure in Faris. Elis friendship was.worth something, and whether one knew him, „or cared to know him, fill were curious about the man, • The' Vast music assembled and 'ex- tended itself. The foYer became empty„end still M. Jonquelle did not go in.. Perhaps it was because' Mme. Zirtenzog hads not gone on. She was a famous beau- ty;. her Salome had the abandon which stimulated • even the. jaded nerves of France, It had been on at the Opera for•, fifty days, and Paris was still keen to see it, The woman was a Russian exotic, one of those' alluring creatures that always 'assemble a fabulous 'legend. There. was a wild passion: In her Sa- lome, and her conquests were the gos- sip of Paris. The opera had. continued for per- haps thirty minutes. Mme. Zirten zoff had come on;; her voice, like a silver bell, reached M. Jonquelle clear- ly where he sauntered in the foyer. Presently the door to a box opened and one of the pages of the theatre appeared with an immense bouquet of orchids. The flowers were worth a thousand francs. They could have been grown -in Paris only with ex- treme care and under every perfec- tion of light and temperature. It was a mass of flowers that would have drawn the attention of anybody, ex- quisite orchids of the genus Oncidium Kramerli, called the Mottled Butter - It seemed to have drawn the at- teution of M,, Jonquelle. lie stopped the page as he ,passed him. "Carton,” he raid, handing him a piece of gold, "find me a box of.cig- arets before you go an with those flowers. Quickly—run; I will hold them until you return." The boy knew the great chief of the Service de la Surete. He gave M. Jonquelle the bouquet of orchids and disappeared down the stairway. He was gone hardly a moment; when he. returned, M. Jon- quelle had not moved from his posi- tion by a pillar of" the foyer. He handed back the orchids to the page and received the box of. cigarets. He paused a moment, fingered the box but did not open it; instead, he walked a few steps down the foyer and entered the box from which the page 'had come out with the orchids. One looking on would have wonder- ed why the Prefect of Police required a pack of cigarettes, at the• cost of a iten..franc gold -piece --especially as, having turned it in his hand, ho had put it carelessly into his pocket and entered a box. It would appear that ho waited for these cigarettes before entering the box. But to what end? One could not smoke in a box at the Opera, at its most expensive point in. the ultra- fashionable audience of Paris. (Al- though the great opera house was packed with people -nota vacant seat visible to the eye—there was but one person in the box which M. Jonquelle had entered. He was a person that anyone would pause ahnost anywhere to observe. He was young; he was exquisitely dressed -a dress in which there was some of the over-extravaganee of de- tail, that suggestion of elegance, which the Parisian cannot avoid. He was a young man and extremely handsome, a blond French type with a dainty mustache and regular Ital- ian features, and thick, soft, yellow hair presenting the gloss of the seal's coat. In his physical aspect, for per- fection of detail, the man had no equal on the Paris boulevards, iy ala apsirtinent le whaicla- neckiace pf ;kl finis'+rpbr phased fat,hundrhousnd fpatY aaseanbied" from ed , thet.::erpawua• jewelsof,,;Rtzstla-.4W.Fuld .'have • dis appealed without aelew"'to the thiel J?s it, happened, he was brought to justice, he confessed'. and :was ewer tented foil u,n incredible perio! by the V1Lt� . 1,(��V�. i'$OI�I PO$Tr count liar for me "=and again the been no thief, sentenced , " Your !n; opened.

Then the Marquis added with a laugh: "You cannot be expected to tell that; you protect us, monsieur, by your -mystery. If the Lacca could say, 'To -morrow M.

He turned' a little in his seat, "Monsieur," he said, "how did it happen that when we had fixed this robbery' upon Jean Lequex, a member of the Leda, heladmitted it before the court and asked for an immediate sentence? • But he would admit no- thing else; he would' not say what he had done with the necklace or where it was. "That was a strange position for a man to take, monsieur, He' could hope nothing from the judge. Why confess? It did not lighten his sen- nce• andafter all,our evidence to against him was circumstantial. Why did he not say what he had done with the' necklace? The judge would have reduced the sentence. Why conceal it, monsieur, and go for this long per- iod of servitude? Did he hope to escape?" M. Jonquelle spoke with decisioli. "He did not." • "Then,.. •monsieur,"' continued the Millets, "why did he refuse to say whe •e the necklace was? Of what service would be the necklace to him after twenty years?" Again M. Jonquelle replied direct- ly and with decision. "Of no use, monsieur; the man did not expect it to be of any use to hint," "Then, monsieur," continued the Marquis, "why in the name of heaven did he not say where this necklace was, and thereby reduce his sen- tence?" M. Jo7iquelle seemed to reflect. "You have asked for nay opinion," he said. "I think I can do better than give an opinion. I think I can tell you precisely the reason why Jean Lequex, when he confessed this crime before the court, refused to say what had become of the necklace." (To be continued.) The Marquis laughed.

On thefirst day of the. trial' the King's Counsel outlined his case and called four wit- nesses. On the second he called three witnesses and wound up his argu- ment. That same after:ioon the de- fence put the accused °on the stand, ending its case before the court ad- journed at tea time. The judge finish- ed charging the jury by the following noon, and on the afternoon of this third' day the prisoner was acquitted. In the New Jersey trial a prosecu- tor who paid as much attention to the newspapers as to the Court took six- teen days to present his case, after which the defence took eleven more days. More than a hundred witnesses were called, and when their testimony was given there followed five days of finishing touches before the accused were acquitted. It took the Amer- icaa court, in a commonwealth cele- brated among our states for its speedy administration of justice, more than ten times as long as it took the British couPt to do exactly the same thing, Perhaps if our courts did their work with the dispatch com- mon in England we would have less occasion to talk about' the crime wave. The fact that we have more cases than England has makes the argu- ment for speedy justice just that much• stronger. Sooner or later Europe must be- come one nation, and anyone who travels in it will always be in a com- mon. fatherland, After the fall of my system it seems to me- that the only way in which an equilibrium can be achieved in Europe is through a league of nations: -Napoleon Bona- parft', ere ry Gti lEfr South' America—the Wonder' Continent.
