This' was the second broadcast of. composite sound pictures, and list- eners Who 'heard it agree that it was equal to, i'f 'not 'better than, the first in the series, For Amateur Photographers With the recent introduction .of pop- ular -priced miniature and motion picture equipment for 'hone use, it is Telt' that radio listeners would like some expert information on the sub- ject. With this in mind, the CBC has engaged Mr. Hazen Sise of Montreal, perhaps rhe most noted photographer in Canada, to present a seres of six programmes 'commencing Friday, Au- gust 151, 4145 to '5 p.m. EDST. The opening 'broadcast will deal with "Your Camera," and the following .su'b'jects: Short 'recapitulation,. filters, films, halation, latitude, "grain," good exposures, good prints, common faults, and a step by step description of taking a picture. Subsequent 'broad- easts will 'describe such subjects as "Photography es an Art," "Photo Murals and the Cinema," "Makng a Photo -Mural" and "Photographing the Spanish 'War," In short, it will be a most interesting and informative ser- ies, and there will not, .Of course, be anything of a commercial nature attached to the series, Mr, Sise being a Montreal architect 'by profession, .A Travelling Adventurer On Tuesday , August 9, 'Itle,115 to 311:310 p.m. •EDSIT, the CBC will in- augurate a new series of travel 'broad- casts over its national network, en- titled "Travel !Adventures," The speaker en this occasion will be Mr. Edward Long, Travel Editor of the Illustrated London !News, who is a 'world 'traveller and who is now on a visit .to the United States and Can- ada. He will be speaking on some of his exciting .adventures. Indian Chief Thrilled 'Chief Clear Sky, '.head of all the Iroquois Tribes, has seen the marvel ,of radio broadcasting. A few Thurs- days ago, Chief Clear Sky was in Montreal, strolling across Dominion Square, He was selling strings of wild ,rice beads, in aid .of the less for- tunate of his once powerful tribe, now numbering less than 21540010. It was "Street Scene" time in Montreal, and Jerry Wilmot, CBC announcer, with only 'five minutes to go, was scanning the 'horizon for an unusual "su'b'ject" to interview. There came the Chief of the Iroquois, dressed in his full regalia, and as "Street Scene" endeavours to ,present a crass-seotion of ideas of the Canadian man on the street, it was (quite natural for the re porter to try to induce the Redskin to say a few words. Lt was a human interest story Inc revealed, dramatic and ,eloquent. Letters of keen apprec- iation of the, 'broadcast have since been pouring in to the CBC studios in Montreal, many of them -contain- ing alonat'ion•s to the Iroquois Fund, Thus, 'Street Scene," which is heard daily except Saturday and Sunday over the CBC's national network, is not only most interesting but ex- tremely worth while, too. Toronto Promenade Concert Charlotte Symons, lyric soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Association, who was born in Chicago and brought op in a family of musicians, will be the guest soloist when the 115th 'broadcast in .the series of 24 Pro- menade Symphony concerts is heard over CBC's national network, Thurs- day, August lie, 9 to 1110 p.m. EDST.

Police in. the 'district are reported to have claimed that the woman, who faces a charge of murder, "is not demented," and continued the search for a motive. Little incidents in the lives of Mr. and (sirs. William Magee were inves- tigated. 'Neigh'bors of the couple, it was said, claimed things had not been running joist as smoothly as possible lately, but Magee himself said that his married life had ,been "all right." In a reported signed statement giv- en police, the mother, who will ap- pear in Goderich police court this Thursday, :charged with the murder of her only child, is said to have told why she allegedly 'committed the sash act. While police are silent on this point, neighbors say she lived in fear of losing her child. 1It was at eleven o'clock last Thins, day morning that the formal charge of murder was preferred and the young woman, escorted by police and looking somewhat fatigued, appeared at Goderich. The charge of murder was laid by Crown Attorney D, E. Holmes, following consultation with Provincial Constable P. E. McCoy, who is in oharge of the investigation. This is the first murder charge pre- ferred in Huron county since 1:913 when Edward "Punk" Jardine was convicted and sentenced to hang. The events on Thursday last cent- red around Goderich 'and Wingham. J. V'. Bus'hlield of Wingham has been engaged as ,defence counsel, al- though Mrs. Magee was not repre- sented when she first appeared to face the charge last week. Mrs. ivlagee is said to have given police a complete detailed story of the act which allegedly ,prompted her to hold her young child under water in a trough in the barnyard. The wo- man •was in the tank herself. Later she walked to the field where her ,hus- band was working and is alleged to have shown the child to hint and to have said,"I've drowned our baby." She was wet herself and her hair was wet when she went to her husband, some 1:50 'rods away from the tank, it was claimed. "I can't understand it. I can't un- derstand it" These were the words of 43 year old William Magee, well known Morris township 'farmer, con- cerning'the tragedy which had claim- ed the life of his only child, Mildred Ruth Magee, aged ten months. Mrs. Magee, formerly Rebecca Baird, •was taken away on Wednesday evening, soon after an investigation was made. The tragedy has people in that section rather bewildered and at a loss to 'understand what prompted the young mother to supposedly take the life .of her child in a water trough on the farm property. "I was work- ing in the field shortly after four o'clock Wednesday afternoon. I saw the wife corning toward me and she carried the '.baby. I cannot describe the feeling that came over me. I tried to bring the baby around but it was no use," Mr. Magee said. Counter We Are Selling Quality Books Books are Well Made, Carbon is Clean and Copies Readily.

The watering trough, •five feet long, two .and a half feet deep and the saint. width is located just west of the farm house and on the edge of the 'barn- yard. It is made ,of :galvanized iron and beside it is a pump. Across the top is a steel rod, used as a support. The distance .from the water trough to where Mr, .Vlagce was working in a field was estimated at approxiirtately 1.150 rods. When efforts at the house failed to bring hack the life of the tiny infant, the family physician -at Winghann was called, and schen he learned of the nature of the death he immediately notified Coroner Dr. R. C. Redmond of Wingham. An inquest was ordered. It is understood an autopsy showed death by drowning. The jury is composed .of W. H. French, foreman, Jack .Mason, Har- old Buchanan, Tom Bennett, Clare Adams, Jim Isard, Fred Carter, Jim Curr, Roy Manuel, all. of Wtngham. Constable Allen of Wingham was no- tified of the case but he immediately turned it over to the provincial police at Goderich. P.C. P. :E. McCoy and County Constables Ferguson and Westlake of Goderich are investi- gating, ENGLISH BORSTAL SYSTEM URGED FOR CANADA Separate institutions, based on the theories of the English Borstal sys- tem, should be established to 'permit special treatment being given to of- fenders between 16 and 01. This is not the least of the major recommendations recently submitted to Parliament 'by the Royal Conunis- sien appointed under Justice 'Joseph Archambault to investigate Canada's penal system. The Commission urged there should also be a classification center and three grades in each unit, each to be separately located; that two units should be established at once,' one in the Province of Ontario and one in the Province of Quebec, with 'further development of the scheme in the Prairie Provinces, the Maritime Prov- inces and, in a modified manner, hav- ing regard to the population, in Bri- tish Columbia, The Borstal system has long'ibeen advocated by many social workers, in- cluding Miss Agnes Macphail, Farmer Member of Parliament, and was re- ferred to by the Government in the Speech from the Throne in a19'3'5 as be- ing "under consideration," It is a sys- tem• whereby the young offender- once it has been decided that all other measures of deterrence and reforma- tion have failed and that he trust he imprisoned—is 'sent to a separate in- stitution provided for his training, core rection, and reformation, where, "if such treatment is to be effective," a minimum term of three years is re- quired, followed by proper aftercare and assistance, In recommending immediate adop- tion of the system the Commission points out that it has never 'been ap- plied to youthful offenders in Canadi- an penitentiaries and that imperfect attempt to segregate them had only the effect of debarring them from pen- itentiary workshops. The fact is, say fhe Commissioners, any satisfactory adaptation of the Borstal system is impossible in institutions where the penitentiary atmosphere must ever be present, nullifying the attitude neces- sary for successful treatment, The English Borstal system was launched in .11905 with the passing of the "Prevention of Crime Act" which made it possible for the courts to send vottths between 1116 and .21 to a DOr- stal institution for training instead of to an ordinary prison. When youths are !brought to court they are divided roughly into three classes: those who ran he dealt with by probation or oth- er naninstitntional treatment; those who are believed to be beyond reach of the Borstal system, and the bal- ance, mostly recidivist offenders, who are selected for Borstal treatment. Never is a first offender sent to a Borstal institution if it can be avoid- ed, The Commission. in the course of personal investigation, was deeply inn - pressed by the individual and thought- ful attention given by Wren of educa- tion and sound character in every one of the seven Borstal institutions for boys and one for girls. To facilitate such attention the youths are divided among four or five houses in each in- stitution, each house containing from 510 to 710 youths in, charge of a house- master and assistant. 'The Borstal system, indeed, as- serts the Commission, "depends for its success upon the riven it attracts to its services. -Heinencontacts mean more than elaborate 'buildings, and the ,personal influence of members of the staff must be directed to establish- ing a stablish-ing`a standard and providing an in- spiration for each youth." Borstal or largely similar institu- tions in Scotland, Belgium, Holland, France, and the United States, also were visited by members of the Com- mission and the 'best features noted in each, The importance of aftercare was recognized by all. In 'England this is provider) by the Borstal Association, founded by Sir' Evelyn Ruggles -Brise "In the belief that the 'best results could be obtained in the field of after- care by a voluntary association work- ing in close 'co-operation with the de- partment responsible for Borstal in- stitutions." Through this Association and innumerable conttnittees of volun- tary workers all attempt is made to find a friend for each youth, who will take a kindly interest in him and ad- vise hien with regard to his activities, "The Borstal institutions might successfully reform the young offend- ers who are sent to them.. for training, but, without the complement of effec- tive aftercare, such as provided by the Borstal Associaton, no permanent re- formative results could be obtained," said the Commission, In conclusion, it recommends that the essential fea- tures of the Borstal system be applied to young offenders in Canada, with variations of methods to adapt the treatment to Canadian conditions, WOMEN DEMAND MORE (Continued front Page 2) pursue their seasonal work into for- eign countries—to the :Netherlands and to Latvia. Taking into consideration the vast numbers of women involved, the wo- men at the convention at 'Edinburgli considered that there is comparatively little legislation to protect the work- ers—except that in regard to ordinary contract, pension and compensation rights, where these exist, Latvia possesses a special Chamber, or Kammern, which regulates ques- tions of work on the land. Italy seems to :be making the most deter- mined efforts to arrest the trend from country to town by means .of insur- ances, better housing, and greater cultural facilities, But, all in all, the women gathered at 'Edinburgh, considered that a great revival of interest and of practical assistance is due to the agricultural worker, and they carried a resolution inviting all affiliated councils to ask their respective governments to ex- tend .to both Wren and women who are agricukural workers the .protective legislation from which industrial workers benefit. TESTED RECIPES Picnics should be happy events 'for everyone, and in no way should the enjoyment be marred by elaborate preparations. The campfirep picnic is voted as among the most popular, probably }because it is a real 'c'hange front regular meals, and takes little time and effort in home preparation. No matter what type of picnic, the hamper 'should include a variety of foods that will combine to provide a complete, 'balanced meal., and in fig- uring the amounts required, allowance should be made for 'the hearty appe- tites always in evidence on such occa- sions. The following menus may suggest some new ideas for picnic baskets: Camppfire Menu 1 Toasted Bacon and Tomato Sand- wiches Fruit Salad, Berries or Melon (us- ing the luscious Canadian fruits as they conte in season) Buttered Scones Lemon 'Cheese Tarts Cocoa for All or Coffee or Tea for Adults—Cocoa for Children Campfire Menu 2 Cheese Filled Rolls—Toasted (Split rolls and spread one side gen- erously with grated cheese mixed with butter. Pitt together and toast over coals of campfire,), Fresh Vegetables such as Radishes. Lettuce, 'Green Onions, (Fresh from garden, market or store,). Fruit Shortcake. (Split .rich tea biscuits. Cover 'bot- tom halves with sweetened, crushed berries, or sliced fruit.
