An expedition is now forcing its way into. the wilds of Brazil, paying special attention to the Matto Oroseo region, in eeareh of •Col. Fawcett, and two companions who went thith- er two years ago on an exploration tour, The colonel knew that be would be faced by terrible dangers — hostile natives, fever, man-eating snakes, poisonous plants and Insects, and nn - trodden jungle --but he had travel- led extensively on the fringe of the Matta Grosso region, and he felt that - the time had come for those millions of square miles of mystery to yield up their secrets, When two years had elapsed, a search party set out. It had hardly entered the region before it was at- tacked by natives and had to return minus its stores, and without dis- covering any clue to the fate of the intrepid explorers. Other explorers besides Ool. Fawcett have found that being an explorer to -day is every bit as thrilling as it was in tho time of Drake and the old pioneers. Michael Terry, the young Austra- lian explorer, came within an ace of perishing from thirst during the last lap of his daring journey across Northern Australia by motor -car only five years ago. With one companion, he found himself stranded in the "Never Never" country with no petrol. They abandoned the car and proceeded on foot for three days. L Their water was found to be unfit to drink and the heat nearly killed them. Terry's companion left him in a state of col- lapse, and pushed on alone in a last desperate attempt to secure aid. The explorer was very nearly "all in" when a search -party found him two days later. Roald Amundsen is another ex- plorer who has more than once miss- ed death by inches. His narrowest escape was when during his famous voyage through the Northwest Pas- sage above the northern 'shores of Canada, his tiny ship, loaded with stores for a voyage of three years, grounded on some submerged rocks in a storm. Stores were thrown overboard to lighten ship in the hope that the vessel would float off, but without success. Finally, no further stores could be spared, yet Amundsen rea- lised that if the boat continued to. pound up and down on the rocks she would go to pieces. He decided to try a desperate ex- pedient. He had all sail set; if the boat would not float off the rocks, it must be blown off. There follow- ed ten minutes of terror while the seven men on board held on for their lives. ` Bump followed bump, each worse than the last, as the vessel was blown from rock to rock to- wards the deep water. At last, after what seemed an age, they were afloat again and the danger was past. It says much for Amundsen's wonderful gift for or- ganization that, after thus throwing overboard part of his stores, at the end of the voyage, two years later, he bad enough flour left to offer a supply to an American whaler. Thirst bathe greatest, terror of the explorer. In Central Asia is the Gobi Desert, a vast sunbaked, water- less region, devoid of trees, plants, or any living thing. , Only one man has ever penetrated it. That was Se'ren Hedin, the Swed- ish explorer, who made a "dash"' from one end of the desert to the other. He accomplished the feat f after losing all his camels and bag- p ri WING i,AM ADVANCE -TIMES. Mainly For Women (By Dorothy Dix) SHOULD WE PUNISH THl✓ CHILDREN? Thursdays September 6th, 1928 (By Dr. Louis E. Bisch) E.tninez t Psychologist) All human beings have a tendency to go to extremes and after swinging the pedulum too far in'one direction to follow this up by swinging it too far in the opposite direction. Not so many years ago, when our grand- parents were young, punishment of children was not only considered vit- ally necessary, but in addition, the punishment meted out was usually ex- tremely severe and sometimes bord- ered on' cruelty. Nowadays an op- posite view is held by the extremists: of the no -punishment school. They hold' indeed, that children should nev- er be punished: Beautiful as they are, all • children are" like wild untamed animals, No child can understand why he should not be allowed perfect freedom—to come and go and do and `say as he pleases. From his" own' viewpoint the laws of the nursery are all wrong. And the child would be right were it not for the fact that. he cannot al- ways remain a child. As he develops into adulthood, the world outside gradually puts a more restrictive curb upon his instinctive desires. Every man and woman must learn to hold himself in check for the corn- .i mon good. We are allowed only to express ourselves freely so long as we do not step on the toes of the other fellow. It is on this principle that all laws manners and customs have been built up. That's'why chil- dren must be taught self-restraint and respect for the feelings and rights of others. If not, they grow up to find themselves out of tune with their neighbors. s Consequently they become discon- tented and unhappy. They cannot un- derstand why they are different from other people. It's kindness therefore to restrict them early in life. • Give them all the leaway you can, provided their self-expression does not run counter to established rules, If it does, if there is a decided anti -social tendency manifest, a child should be punished. Of course, we must not punish. arbitrarily or because children are mischievous or irritating: We must respect childhood. We must be kind, sympathetic and understanding. And whatever we do, never, never, should a• child be punished when we are angry. Corporal punishment is a thing of the past. Even the switch and the time-honored spanking, except as oc- casionally used on a vigorous put re- ractory boy, is out of date. Frequent hysical punishment may develop a ervous disorder or an entirely warp- ed view of life, If you have to pun- ish a child, find out what he likes and deprive him of that, , If it has to be you might even drop out his, dinner now and again. No child can resist that. gage, and nearly his own life as well. During last year over Iwo hundred expeditions Set out to explore our unknown world. Yet so well does nature guard her secrets that it will be many years before we can say that we know all there is to be known about the earth on which we live. Miss Pirates There are few -professions and oc- cupations that women of the West have not invaded. They have even tackled the steeplejack's job and tried marine engineering. It has, however, been left to the women of the East to lead the way as pioneers of piracy on the high ceases: Women have, indeed, played an important part in some of the re- cent piratical attacks on the West river, near Canton. One woman is Said.to have appeared on deck with the rest of the gang, a revolver in each hand and wearing a mask made from a handkerchief. She held up the purser in his office and threaten- ed to shoot the rest of the crew un- less he handed over the keys. She was a Chinese woman, smart- ly dressed and wearing black patent leather shoes, white silk stockings, a serge skirt, and a fox fur. When a band of river brigands were captured recently it was found that two of them were women. For- ty-one of the gang were sentenced to death, but the women were spared. Making Safes Safer. A new safe that has an almost human power Of giving warning should any attempt be made to rob it has been invented. Should bur- glars attempt to break it open by the usual ntethode of using heat, the Ma- terial of which the ;safe is built gives off a series of loud reports, The new material is in the terra' of plates, one inch thick, applied in- Side the state. tip to the present, no method has been found of melting, breaking, or destroying the material; Make Womua'S Voice, Harsh. Smoking, according to one expert, is tending to make women's t'ot .b harsh and guttural, enlarging the Local chords arid creating a gen.erset'; catarrhal condition. Sleep. Toss of sleep gives the miitIi iflightly4bla'her .power at the expeese ofd hsavior drain on the Phyaie el eo*ditio, If strictly carried out it never fails. But be sure that when you threaten you do it; ''and that when you do it you don't get tender-hearted and slip kiln a glass of milk and a sandwich later on. Don't be an extremist about the punishment of children! Take the middle :course—the sane, and sen- sible course that is beneficial to the children. Don't make punishment convenience for yourself. And re- member it's the kind of punishment that does count. THE SCHOOL WARDROBE Before school -actually begins is the time to look over the school ward- robe and remodel and replenish when necessary. Probably the best way to do this is to start first with the und- er -clothing. The lightweight things will be worn for the first month or so anyway. The various pieces will surely need new buttons, ribbons or snaps, and a few stitches here and there, for it seems that vacation time is unusually hard on the most care- fully tended clothes. It is a good plan to sort the things and arrange them in piles according to the type of mending needed. If any ne%v things are to be purchased start a list to which you can add as necessary. Stockings, dresses and shoes can be handled in the same way as undergarments. The shoes too, ought to be examined and repaired and a hat or two provided for cool days to Come. By thus systemizing. this task it is amazing how simple the work becomes, AN EXERCISE POR BOW-LEGS (By Josephine Huddleston) Bowed legs are an extremely deli- in cath topic of conversation and yet ,t t STORES EXTRA ATTRACTIONS ALKER LIMITED 'Thursday, September 6th, Friday, September 7th.

IT" Wingham's Departmental S - THE FAVORITE SHOPPING CENTRE hope you'll bear with me while I of- fer some suggestions for this trouble. After all the mission of this particu- lar writer is to find solutions for the things that impair the physical beauty of women and pass on this info,t. motion so that every woman can reach as high a mark of physical perfection and beauty as possible. Certainly the working out of this mission leads us into the correction of physical defor- mities as well as into the correct shade of powder and rouge. Every woman and girl who suffers from bowed legs has undergone hours of misery over this trouble There was a time when this trouble could be cleverly concealed beneath long skirts but that'day'seems to be forever. Several cases of bowed legs should be treated' by reliable physicians • and their treatment usually calls for the wearing of braces which will 'help to straighten the . curved bones.. How- ever, it takes a mighty courageous girl to wear' this btace for the nec- essary time to effect a noticeable im- provement. Up until the age of thirty bowed legs can be greatly improved by a simple exercise and standing position that I'm going to outline for you. The exercise comes from the army and navy training schools where this is found every day (Hien, rather than women, are subject in the majority, to bowed legs, you know). Stand erect with the torso drawn to its full height, the head up and. the arms hanging relaxed at the sides. The heels should be about an inch a- part and the toes should point out- ward at an angle. . Now, WITHOUT MOVING THE PEET AT ALL, tense the muscles of the legs and thighs and slowly push the knees as close together as you can. Yost won't inakie much progress at first but keep at it= -tensing the useles pushing the knees as close ogether as you can, relaxing and r'e- �wi peating twenty times. Then rest for and remember that if you t o nothing a few minutes and repeat again. Do at all the condition will show no' im- this twice daily, more often if you p,rovernent at any time. can find thetime and energy. When standing take the position It isn't a quick remedy—it may `outl, tscles ke a year straighten those bowed press theined aboveknees asense, close the mutogetheranasd legs ,a quarter to of an inch— but a you can, If you'll remember to al - quarter of an: inch makes a lot of ways do this the, bowed condition difference! And, though the time is will not be nearly as noticeable as if long the exercise isn't difficult to do you standonormally; rm Getting Myself Talked About ViHE Delco.Light people use a lot of space' n the big magazines to tell how Delco.
