After the est razors' were made' of bronze and some examples are in the British museum. "The Roman razors were of iron, as were the razors recov- ered from the ruins of Pompeii. The writer has demonstrated the possibility of sharpening ' bronze, pure iron and even copper to the. point where shaving is possible, which strengthens the claims of his- torians. The ancients must have been stoical he-men, as experience with these materials shows they would never shave comfortably. With the introduction of steel that could be hardened by heat. treat- ment (Damascus steel, for example) it was possible in ancient Greece to produce razors of quality about equal to those of today. Natural stones were available for grinding an edge and for honing it; textile materials and tanned leather had been in existence for centuries, so' that an edge sharp enough for shav- ing could have been produced by methods much like those in present use. Oliver ,the eighteen year old son of Mr. Robert Mcllveen, of Watford, formerly of Clinton, died on Sunday after a couple of days illnese., Oliver was a bright boy and had been pur- suing his studies with the view of ens tering the teaching profession. On Friday he finished writing at •ihe sec- ond. class examinations and had good hope of passing. The numerous friends in these parts will sympathize with the parents in their loss. Doctors Report Success. i In `Cleansing' Blood: A new blood treatment to stop, asthma and boils was reported to the Pan-American Homeopathic Medical congress. Dr. Raymond E. Seidel of Phila- delphia declared in a report that it is possible to treat such diseases by drawing blood from a patient sub- mitting it to ultra -violet light irradi- ation for as little as ten seconds and putting it back into the veins In a continuous process. Studies at the Hahnemann hospital in Philadelphia indicate the light treatment causes toxins and viruses in the blood to become harmless, Dr. Seidel asserted, and kills or stops the growth of bacteria, thus stopping such diseases as asthma, boils and similar skin ailments. The treatment of blood 'flowing through an artificial vein is similar to the irradiation of the air in an operating room with ultra -violet light to kill disease germs. With this method even a few stray germs on a surgeon's gloves or his instruments are destroyed within a few seconds to assure a completely sterile op- erating field and avoid post-opera- tive infections. The blood irradiation method has resulted in a great reduction of skin damage, Dr. Seidel declared. The blood thus is able to carry more oxygen to body cells to promote healing. Circulation also is improved by expansion of small blood vessels, Mr. and. Mrs John .. Johnstone of, installation, Noble Grand J. A.

I., has made its "ham" radio operators full-fledged but unpaid members of the police department in setting up an emer- gency communications system for air raid work. The amateur operators have been sworn into the Providence police mo- bile radio patrol, making them eligi- ble to operate the police radio equip- ment as well as their own during an air raid, should telephone com- munications be bombed out or other- wise damaged. The city "emergency" network is composed of eight short wave , sta- tions each of which will have a "walkie-talkie" transmitter and re- ceiver set that can be packed on the back of a station staff member. Such a staff member on air raid patrol could report from any damage scene to the district station, which would relay the message to the report cen- ter for counter -action by the various protective services.

D Stevenson,St E M. CikrSNAPSNOT GUILD THE ILLUSION OF DEPTH The illusion of depth is very important to a landscape picture. You can achieve this effect in your pictures by observing a few simple rules. 1110 YOU -want to get a feeling of AJ great depth in your pictures? Do you want, when picturing land- scapes, to give the impression of vast distance? It's not at all hard to, do if you use a little common sense in choosing an appropriate camera position, watch the fore- ground, and work with the light instead of against it. Take this week's illustration, for instance. As landscapes go, it's not bad. In fact it conveys the illusion of depth to an unusual degree .. . but not by chance. The photogra- pher, I dare say, planned it so. In the first place, you'll note that instead, of taking a picture when the lake was devoid of life he waited until a canoe passed through the. foreground. Or perhaps, he "planted" it there. Regardless, the appearance of the canoe in the foreground im- mediately accomplished two things: It added human interest to thepic- ture, and gave us a basis of com- parison for the other objects in the scene. Not content with that, however, the photographer very carefully chose a point of view behind some low hanging trees so that a few branches hung down from above, and thus added another plane to the scene. In other words, he gave us something familiar and very near to look at, and also something distant to see. Fortunately, too, there are three tones or•planes in the distant shore, and mountain beyond, which further emphasize the illusion of depth. And there, in a nutshell, is the secret of getting a feeling of depth in your pictures. Make sure that some familiar object—such as a tree, a barn, a house, a horse, a canoe, etc.—is included in the foreground of your picture, along with "human interest" when possible. Here's one further tip which isn't illustrated by the picture, but which is important just the same. Watch for sidelightiug.Objects and scenes which are pictured when the sun is shining upon them from the side appear to have a Treater feeling of roundness and depth than those pic- tured with flat illumination. 374 John van Guilder awslemerrmefsora A LETTER FROM ENGLAND How she works in the garden as even- ! ing comes on.

McLeod. Strike First Blow "The role of U. S. marines In this war is similar to that of the tip of an armor -piercing shell," according to Maj. Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, re- tired marine corps officer. Speaking before a group of mili- tary engineers, Maj. Gen. Breckin- ridge said that the job assigned ma- rines is to strike the initial impact and bore in. He' added that the re- sults of their efforts, without the weight of the rest of the "armed services, would be no more effective than the tip of a shell fired alone. Lauding the inspiring "Al*ays Faithful" spirit of every member of the marine corps, Maj. Gen. Bieck- inridge declared that "their spirit will live forever." $5; may bring down' a German plane for it will buy one round of 40 m•m. anti-aircraft shells.

Non -Metal Signs Shortage of metals is causing; cities which need new traffic signs to search for other materials for "stop"- and "slow" signals, reports to the American Public Works asso- ciation show. Richmond, Va., is now using wood for its traffic signs, spray -painting there with a preservative before let- tering. Police department workshops in Baltimore are making no -parking signs of a composition material, and salvaging all metal signs that can be repaired. The composition ma- terial is twice as expensive as sheet metal, and also may limited is) supply, Baltimore officials saki. Holidays ataff in the Canadian Rockies Tjappy, carefree expeditions into JUL the Canadian Rockies, com- fortably far from the --routine of civilization, are among the many health -giving amusements avail- able to visitors • at the Banff - Springs Hotel, at Banff, Alberta, this season. These expeditions. can be made on horseback with the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies, or on foot with the Trail Hikers. Both organizations are based in the Banff -Sprig gs H nes where riding,- hiking, go, and swimming are but a few of the vigorous activities which con- tribute to the success of a moun- tsin holiday. Physical fitness must be among the first personal rules of every citizen of the Allied countries in these days, when the stress and strain of war makes exceptional demands on everyone. Holidays this year are being.planned with increased fitness inview, and this is particularly true of Canadians, and visitors from the United States, who are including Banff in their holiday itinerary. The Canadian Pacific Railway, in keeping with this spirit, has ar- ranged extremely low American Plan rates ona weekly or month- ly basis, and these cover a reap magnificent holiday and provide• a complete escape from' the spectre of gas, oil, and rubber. There is no joy, greater than riding ; a sure-footed mountain: pony along far-flung scenic trails, or in hiking above the clouds along what is literally thesky line. The.Banff-Springs Hotel golf course is internationally famous. and justly so and is a ,continual challenge to experts and ama- teurs alike, There is much to do at Banff and a splendid holiday- in olidayin the doing.
