It is said to attack per- sons driving closed cars whohave gained the habit of leaving the window on their side open so that they may signal with 'their hands for turns and sudden stops. Operators of left -drive automobiles' are said to have been affected on the left side of the neck while drivers of right -drive vehicles are troubled on the right side.' It is believed that when the body, warmed by riding in the closed car, is suddenly attacked in a small location by drafts of cold. air the disease gains foothold in the place affected by the draft, Persons who drive open cars are not subject to contract the disease, it is reported. Transcontinental Broadcast Marked Seven Years For World Pioneer in Radio on Railway On New Year's night, the Canadian National Railway system, first railway in the world to equip its trains with radio and to buil up a chain of broad- casting stations, celebrated •the seventh anniversary of its service to thousands of unseen listeners. The event was marked by a concert, broad- cast from Montreal through sixteen Canadian National and associated sta- tions from one end of Canada to the other. Sir Henry W. Thornton, Chairman and President of the ,Railway, deliver- ed a short address, and W. D. Robb, Vice -President, wbo has jurisdiction over the radio activities of the system. as well as over other departments, spoke briefly in French. The orchestra was conducted by J. J. Gagnier, well-known Ment•eal must - clan, and the soloists were Joan 101wes, the celebrated English soprano, and Henri Pontbriand, tenor, wbo has a high reputation in both Europe and the United States. Sir Henry Thornton, seated in front of the microphone, is shown above on the. left. Joan Elwes is on the upper Tight, and the other two photographs are, left to right, Henri Pontbriand and 3, J.

"Food Plentiful But Coarse" Says English Tourist in Russia Soviet Now Welcomes Tourists From Other Countries But Visitors Are Closely Watched and Guarded Now that the Soviet authorities are about their ordinary business is in allowing, and indeed encouraging, the l visits of tourists from other countries, t is interesting to 'compare the dif- ferent accounts of their experiences published by. these hardy pioneers. It must he clearly understood that it is practically impossible for any tourist to see behind the scenes of Russian life. Watched and guarded by official "guides' and surrounded by spies from the moment they leave the boat at Leningrad until the end of the official- ly conducted tour, it is not surprising that the general impression is that the U.S.S.R, have no intention of showing their sores in public and that they carefully conceal the grimmest aspect of communist life behind a veil of seeming normality. Capt. Owen Tweedy, writing in the Fortnightly Review an account of his travels under the auspices of the Soviet Republic, rightly sums up the official aspect when he says: Russia is quite as suspicious of out- siders, as outsiders are of Russia; in- deed to 1111 up an application for a nor- mal visa to enter the country is tan- tamount to telling the story of one's life. But Russian policy to -day is to encourage tourists: and a tourist visa is comparatively easy. "Only," says the Soviet, "no visa unless you take our tourist excursions.' I was one among four hundred 'other inquisitives on a Baltic cruise, who accepted the Soviet terms. All of'us got in, save three unfortunate parsons, who were described on their passports as "Min- isters of Religion: "Ministers" are highly political in Russia, and religion is taboo, Three other clerics were wiser in their generation. "Clerks" work in offices: what "Holy Orders" convey to a Russian, goodness only knows. Anyhow, the three "Clerks in Holy. Orders" sailed in. Afton endless delay over passport regulations and the changing of money in Russian roubles, all tourists are divided into small ;parties condud by Dnglish speaking and efficient guides (nearly all women) who can be expected to introduce with the tact of a good hostess, a sufficient anionnt of propaganda to make the trip worth while -from the. Soviet point of view. All inconvenient incidents are explain. ed away or carefully ignored. An amusing example of this is given by the writer in the Spectator: As our car stopped, the driver of a passing lorry shook his fist at us and shouted uncomplimentary words at our chauffeur. The latter sprang out out of the car, ran to the lorry and took its number.' We learnt subse- quently that the authorities specially desire to make a good impression upoil foreign visitors, and that the offend- er would be dealt with appropriately. As one of the . guides hurriedly re- marked, "such incidents gave tourists a had and wrong impression of Rus- sia," The food provided for tourists is. plentiful but coarse, and if the soup is greasy and uninviting to the epicur- ean, be may on the other band con- sole hmeelf with a generous 'helping of caviare. The hotel accommodation is also adequate, and cleanliness is in-, elsted upon, Indeed: the freshly wash- ed white blouses of the men going She: "I don't think I should lot you kissmebefore we're: engaged," He: "But, dear, that le the quick- est way of bringing about an en- gagement,' Mother (teaching nursery rhyme to little daughter): "Ding dong, dell, pussy's in the well Now, what comes next?" Up-to-date five 'year old: "Pussy wants a coroner,' pleasing contrast to the filthy rags of the Tsarist peasant. As a further en- couragement to civilizedbehavior, the following notice is posted in one of the big Co-operative restaurants:- / estaurants)1 Behave Yourself At Table 1.—Wash your hands before eating, 2. -Do not put your hat on the table. 3.—Do not help yourself to salt with Your fingers, 4.—Do not share the same plate with another person. 5.—Do not scatter crumbs and cigar- ette ends on the table, 6.—Do not spit or quarrel at meals. Despite the efforts of the authori- ties to bring a semblance of prosperity to their cities and the genuine We given to the upkeep of their museums and state institutions, the whole as- pect of Lenningrad and Moscow is one of neglect and decay. As Capt. Tweedy says: Leningrad itself was like Soiesons or Armentieres in 1918. The streets were weed -grown and pitted: the cob- bles had lost all symmetry: they had not been touched for years. And the houses were utterly in keeping. There was no plaster on the walls, no paint on the woodwork, and the windows were cracked and dirty. Tho only shops were Government shops: out- side utside' then were long dreary queues. "Ichabod' was written black over this tenement town. Of these queues much has been writ- ten in the past, and indeed Russians must spend more than a quarter of their working day lining up at the various Co-operative stores, first for their food, tickets and then for the usually inadequate supply' of provi- sions. As an example of this, a writer in the Star says: 1 walked down a typical cobbled street this morning. Nearly all the shops, except a few dirty tailors' places, were "Co-operatives,' and had the usual long .queue outside of wo- men with baskets. "You're not in the right order. You've pushed your way in," shouted a red-faced woman to a thin woman. "You liar, I've been here "since six o'clock this morning," was the reply. Posted up in the window was a no- tice, No Milk •To -day." A little fur- ther on, in a Co-operative Butcher's shop I saw the Words scribbled in an untidy handwriting, "Meat to -day only in small portions for people with man- ual workers' tickets and for children." No wonder that theforgers of man- ual workers' tickets are doing a roar- ing trade! 1 pushed my way through shopping crowds to the small square in the open air market where the private traders, who are frowned upon' by the Bolshe- viks, sell their wares. There was an old pair of trousers going for SOs. "Buy some meat. Two roubles (4s.) a pound!" shouted a butcher to me, brushing away he files from the dirty scraps of bone and flesh littered' upon his wooden trestle." A peasant woman sat ,on the ground with a. little attache case of the kind one buys .in Woolworth's. A small crowd had gathered round her. Peep - hag over the people,�1 saw that the °entente were two or three dirty por- ticos of butter. "How much?' shout- ed somebody.

Thus, he was stationed at North Bast, Carle- ton Place, Sudbury, Revelstoke, Schreiber, White River, and Chapleau.. From 1911 to 1916 he was at Moose Jaw, and in January, 1916, was moved to Toronto as car service agent, com- ing to Montreal in 1918 as inspector of transportation, from which appoint- ment he is promoted to his present position.

Durst believes it possible to produce strains of lettuce that will have great- er adaptability to seasons; opening the way for growing of lettuce in warmer climates. There are more than 100 cultivated varieties of lettuce, but Durst says that the French variety of Cos lettuce is the only cultivated one which gives evidence of having quantitative factors dominant to those of the wild. titularly as in Georgian days .Lea- den was much smaller than it is now, not only in population, but in extent.
