"They are the finest rearedin the history of the nation. They are an inch taller and four pounds heavier than their parents at the correspond- ing age, Their posture and carriage, too, are better, There is no cempari, on between the modern boy and girl and their counterpart of twenty years ago." Medical and educational authorities are enthusiastic about the now genera- tion, and there is every Sign that the. .1929 baby will surpass the 250,000 stalwart yonngsteis now Ealing the field, .Reports from infant death °entree,, the National Baby Week tiouncil, eclu- eational and child welfare Officials form one long -panegyric of the 1929 baby, Phey are super -babies," said an in- fant welfare centre 'official, "sturdy, bright and intelligent to a .degree which would stagger their forefathers. The modern baby is more advanced at three months than the prewar baby at twelve months, Before the war the average baby ted and slept, until he was two years: old:" "Wily is It?" said a nurse at an in- fant hospital, "Simply because .we leave the modern baby alone and do not coddle It, (Jive it Tight, airy •clothes, proper food, plenty of sun, and then leave It alone," Besides schoolrooms nurseries, kin- dergartens are better planned nowa- :days. As a matter of fact, the only adterse criticism against the modern baby is that modern children are more "nervy.,. Fat babies have gone out of fashion. The baby experts look upon the fat baby as a coddled and overfed child, and bright eyes and agility count more than avoirdupois In the 1929 Babyland. "Every statistic and report submit- ted during the last few years prove that the talk. about 'race degeneration is so much humbug," was how a schoolmaster summed up the case.

They recently have sl own conclusively that cigarettes and cigars thrown from airplanesmay cause serious forest fires, "To prewar() some dependable information, experiments with a forest patrol plane were conducted at the Spokane airport," says the report., "Lighted cigars and plain `.ipped cig- arettes of brands commonly in use were dropped from altitudes of ap- proximately 500 and 1,000 feet above the ground. At the time of the tests the temperature was about 75 degrees Fahrenheit, relative humidity 34 per cent, and wind movement about seven miles an hour. Of six cigarettes re- covered four were still burning when picked up. "All five cigars recovered were still burning. t did not appear that in- creasing the height of fall from 500 to 1,000 feet was an important factor."

The members of the ' expedition were enthusiastic over the 'success- ful progress of their task of explor- ing and taming Russia's section of the frozen north, Leaders of the expedition are con- sidering a project of using Soviet icebreakers as tourist ships for vis- itors from Russia and the rest of the world, who might desire a trip to Franz Josef Land and the other Rus_ Sian possessions in the north. At the present time the expedition is explorilfg Hooker Island, One of the groups has explored the spacious deep valley in the northern part of the island, through which flows a stormy mountain river, Another group crossed Hooker Island from south to north, reaching Cape Albert Markham and the glacier Helena It has been discovered that the Smirson Channel and the damoilo- vich Channel are free from ice and open for navigation, The Allen Young Gulf is covered With broken ice, From the top of Cape Albert Mark- ham arkham the members of- the expedition observed the rapid movement of Ica In the Brush canal and saw the rocky cape of the Algir Island, where the hut of- Baldwin's Aerican expe- dition, which wintered there in 1901, is half covered with snow, :4 The Evacuation of Egypt London Morning Post (Cons,): The British regime has come' to be toler- ated as a buffer State between the French in Syria and the Italians in 'tripoli.

We are no longer anxiously watching America, We are watching France, who has been busy converting her foreign balanes, dollars and sterling, into gold, .it is alleged that the movement is the result of the shifting of private balances, but in - gullies go to show that official bal. antes, the balances of the Drench Treasury, are also being moved to Paris. Whatever the cause of the movement, it is occasioning serious ehmbarrassment to ibis country, This country has made great sacrifices for the gold standard. It is doubted whether the industrialists and bust. nese men would have agreed to return to gold at the prewar parity, had they been able to foresee its consequences to industry.

There are very few deaths from this disease among grown-aps; it talfes its greatest toll from among young children, in Ontario to -day there is no excuse for any "child starting school without proteetionl against diphtheria, for the reason that science has perfected a preventive which is supplied free of charge to physiolaos for the use of all children within the province, Toxoid is the name of this preventive; is given in three doses three weeks apart injected into the skin of the forearm. Mothers and Lathers would be will- ing to risk their lives to save a baby even if it meant pulling him from the railway track in face of an approach- ing train or dashing in front of a rac- ing motor car. Yet the danger of diphtheria is an ever-present one for the unprotected child from one to ten Years of age. Toxoid is a proven protection against this danger or childhood; it is insurance for the child and the parent—and is supplied free by the Department of Health of Ontario, UPON THE MOUNT No soul can be healthy without the bill -country, its sacred heights whence come new mornings, and release from small limitations, and sense of space and outlook.

If tha'd a' been hawf a man, thy name 'nd a been t' first o' them three." The candidate was confident of "get- ting in," He had personally canvass- ed from door to door the whole con- stituency, and the premises assured him that the seas was his. When the poll was declared, he found himself at the bottom of the poll. The usual after result speeches from candidates were called for, and the only sentence he said was, "I am glad that I mm. not to represent such a lot of d --d liars as you."
