LIVES IN THE PAST Cracow, the heart of Poland, is one of those places rarely found to- day that actually gives the visitor the.illusion of living in another per- iod of history.

It is a 'Romance language, an offshoot •of Provencal, Philologically Catalan differs. from Spanish in that it lacks the characteristic diphthongs. One of its distinctive features is its ten- clency 'to suppress many of the eon. sonants and unaccented vowel end- ing so 'common in Sphnish- CANOE IS POPULAR Many Woods Used in Manufacture of Distinctly Canadian Craft The canoe, which the first white settlers in Canada found the Indians used as the principal medium of transport on the waterways of the country, continues to maintain its popularity.

The totaloutput of canoes and small pleasure boats last year wasvalued at over 52,000,000, The woods used in making canoes) and other pleasure craft in Canada includes cedar and spruce from Brit ish Columbia and Ontario; basswood. butternut,oak, birch and maple from local sources; and imported mahog- any, the total amount of wood 'so consumed . being the equivalent of 17,000,000 feet board measure.

Grou Captain Rees, who is thee, son of Carnarvon solicitor, fought with t Air Force 0 early days s of the war: While on bombing duty in France on July 1, 1916, he sighted what he thought to be a British bombing par- ty. He went to escort them, but, on getting nearer, discovered that they were a party of enemy machines about ten in all. Ile was immediate-1 attacked by one of the machines: and, after a short encounter, it.dis, appeared behind the enemy,lines, damaged. Five others'then attacked him at long range, then attacked him at long range, vut these he dispersed on costing to close quarters, after ser, Musty damaging two of the machines. Seeing two others going westwards he gave chase to them, but on Com, ing nearer he was wounded in the thigh, causing him to lose temporary control of his' machine.

E. F. Burton, head of the physics department of the University of Toronto, in the dis- covery of a colloidal arsenic VI•epara- tion for the treatment of cancer. • Dr. Hendrick has recently been made a member of the American Medical Editors' and Anthers' As- sociation, inrecognition of his con- tributions to medical literature on' cancer. Dr. Hendrick deprecated the vita- min D movement in that artificial vitamin D . might work harm when the natural vitamin would not. Sunlight beating against a , wo- man's skin, saturated with synthetic face creams and oils, sets up a chem- ical irritation suspected as a cause of cancer, according to Dr. Ewing. internationally known cancer author- ity.

EXTRACT MAKES DWARF GROW Glandular Treatment Is Tried Out on Youth, Aged 17 San Francisco, — 17 -year-old dwarf has been transformed into a youth who shows definite signs of approaching maturity and normal height, scientists claimed recently.

Daily injections were given the boy aver a. period of 20`months, Dr. ,Lisser said. His height increased about 3 3-4 inches, and he is "near- ing maturity." Ole now is four feet, 10 incites tall, and has gained in weight. The extract used in the case is si- milar to that developed by Dr. Her- bert Evans of the University of Cal- ifornia, discoverer .of the. growth i Hormone. It is . obtained from the anterior .portion of the pituitary gland. Dr. Lisser has treated 12 similar eases, all showing varying degrees of success.

STREETS or POMPEII One of the unique charms of Pom- peii is the view it gives of the civil and domestic life of the Romans' Here you may see the temples, courts, theaters, baths and fountains but also the humbler evidences of• human life, such as the homes, stores and streets, the latter even possess• Mg ruts in the stone, made by gen- erations of passing chariots. You may visit the stone mills and the jar store, the bakery and the soap shop The treasures of.

MAKING IMAGES OF BUDDHA In line with the process used by the Japanese to induce pearls to grow within the shells of oysters by the insertion of small bits of a foreign substance that eventually become pearel coated, is the method employ- ed in creating the sacred clam shella that Chinese Buddhists believe to have a miraculous origin. These cur- ious shells have small fat images of Buddha appearing as raised designs on their inner surfaces. The image have the same pearly lusterof the shell linings and are really a part of the linings, showing no break or joint. In malting one of these cur— es los a clean shell is -pried open for the insertion' of a thin metal invrge. It is then closed and theclam returned to the water where it is left until e- nough new shell has been formed to • cover the image with a varnish of pearl thick enough to hide the metal, at the same time fastening it to the shell.
