Fire by friction is given consider- able attention by our Scout friends across the border. The present fLS, record is held by Scout Dudley Smith gf Independence, Missouri, who got bis fire in 9 1-5 seconds. So far no serious attempts have 1 been made by Canadian Scouts to establish a Canadian record. The best so far reported, and properly at- t tested, was made by Patrol Leader Cyril Heard of the 1st Whitby Troop. In competition at the recent. Whitby Scoutcraft exhibition he secured his flame'iu 48 seconds. If your troop has not taken up fric- tion tiro be sure to put it into your programme for this winter. First,' of course, master it yourself. An article on the subject will be found in the First Class Scout's Book. For friction ire competitions or official speed tests the following rules have been laid down: Apparatus made by Scout from natural Canadian ma- terials. Tinder natural material, with the foilewed barred: wood powder from previous attempts, chemicals, shavings (other than made by compe- titor with Itis own knife immediately prior to test), pencil, sltarpenings, paper, cloth, cotton, stringor rope, "Warming -up" is not allowed, but using a notch which has been pre- viously used Is permissable. Time to be taken from the moment the Scout makes the first draw of the bow and ends when flame bursts from tinder. The bow and drill may be in position before the word "Go!" The time should be judged by a stop watch and attested by three valuable witnesses. Who'll be first to beat Cyril Heard's forty-three seconds?

The span of life is increasing—we ive longer than we used to do, accord- ing to figures given by the New York Medical Journal covering the past wenty years. In 1900 the average expectancy of human life was 49.2 years; in 1910 it was 51.5; and in 1920 it was 54.3, a gain of over -five years in twenty. Calcuation will show. ,lontinueo the statistician, that if this rate is main tined unaltered, tered an average'expect- ancya lF1 ancy of seventy years will be attained in 1982, or within two generations 001 at present estimated."

Middle age recalls that in its youth a man had his walking stick and a . woman her cap, and both had their footstool at fifty. Seventy years was treated with veneration, as one who had reached the Beulah Land and lived,. listening only for a call from across Cloth From Trees. In tropical Africa grows a tree the bark of which serves the natives a variety of purposes. It is used for making bark cloth, although the intro- duction of cotton cloth will eventually destroy the industry. In the making of the cloth the tree is stripped to a height of about ten feet. This bark stripping can be done at twelvemonth intervals, the third or • fourth bark making the finest cloth, The inner bark is used for the cloth, and strips from four to eight feet in length are beaten with a mallet to the thickness of heavy brown paper.

The Diary of a British Journalist One of the funniest stories told by Sir Henry Lucy in "The Diary of a Journalist," is that concerning Mr.: Lloyd George and his chauffeur. It was night, and Mr. Lloyd George was returning home through the country. The chauffeur was ordered to light the lamps. As the process took some time, Mr, Lloyd George got out of the car and went round to the back to see if all was right with the rear lamp. 'At the sarue moment the chauffeur, conclud- ing that his passenger was inside, started off at full speed and the car disappeared in the distance. Mistaken for a Lunatic. Mr. Lloyd George set off to walk home, and presently, reaching the of the vase, It =was afterwards she county lunatic asylum, he sought the learned that what her husband had aid of the authorities for a lift. telegraphed was, "No; price too high."

Forestry authorities contend that there is no likelihoodf that the Canadian people will ever be able to do without wood. Wood enters into 'everything.
