autumn day and the scenery beauti-
ful. The club rooms were wonder-
ful and the afternoon tea served by.
the hostess, Mrs. Gordon Fraser, tb
whom a hearty vote of thanks was
given.
The main feature of the tea hour
was the delightful readings given by
Mrs. W. E. Groves. Starting with
a toast to the children, God bless
them, and leading her listeners thru
the wonderful Kingdom of Childhood
with poems of her own composition..
Box seats were reserved for the
ladies at the Pantages Theatre where
a most enjoyable evening was spent.
;Wednesday, October 24th, the mor-
ning session opened with prayer and
the minutes of the previous day's
meeting were read and adopted.
Dr. Galbraith, supt. of Western
Hospital, Toronto, was the first speak-
er of the day and stressed the neces-
sity of working for the betterment,
of hospitals of the future through
close co-operation of Women's Auxi-
liaries. Dr. Langrill then introduced
Dr. Malcolm T. IVIcEacherin, a form-
er Canadian who had earned an en-
viable reputation as an outstanding
Hospital authority. He is director of
the American College of Surgeons
with headquarters at Chicago, and was
formerly Supt. of Vancouver General
Hospital. He is now endeavoring to
standardize hosptals in U. S. and Can-
ada. He spoke in glowing terms o'f
the work done by Women's Auxiliar-
ies and was delighted to find the wo-
men of this province so well organ-
ized.
He said the modern hospital was a
part of the social and economic life
of our Canadian cities, and, one per-
son out of ten require hospital care
each year. He spoke of the wonderful
work of human salvage: Rehabilitat-
ing cripples, more than healng the
acutely ill is the future work of hos-
pitals. Churches, schools and hospi-
tals play an equally important part in
good citizenship and are an index of
civilization. Hospital advancement
adds to life and happiness, and
through hospital treatment an aver-
age of fifteen years is added to hum-
an life. In the last twelve years by
successful operations the death rate
had dropped from 18% to 3%.
He spoke of the necessity of hospi-
tals functioning in a proper manner.
By the right care of patients, to re-
ceive hospitably, give• immediate at-
tention, and careful accurate diagnos-
is to relieve them of as much suffer-
ing and discharge them as permanently
cured as quickly as possible. He ad-
vocated the follow-up care of patients
and to find out how they were stand-
ing up under the stress of work,
Be emphasized the necessity of re-
search work, the 'training of nurses,
s,
internes and doctors, the discovery
f
medicine and study of the same, "A
leg' and an arm" be said, "has often
been saved through study and re -

A vote of .. thanks was tendered Dr.
McEael}erii ; for this really wonderful
address.
An' invitation came from the Chat-
ham delegates that the convention of
1929 be held in that city. It was mov-
ed by Mrs. McLaughlin of Oshawa,
and seconded by Mrs. Ott of Water-
loo, that the invitation of the Chat-
ham ladies be accepted with thanks.
Miss Colter of Brantford, was ask-
ed to explain how such a large ne ni--
bership (250p) was gained. She said
they had a membership campaign and
charged a fee of 25 cents, they formed
Junior Aids, interesting High School
girls. They sent treats to the nurses
at Xmas. They had representatives
on the hospital board. They raised
money from Rummage sales. The
Junior Aids acted as clerks in stores,
a percentage of money taken in go-
ing to auxiliary. Dramatic Societies,
Fall Fair tag day, and had a treasury
fund for future necessities. They had
a hope chest, superfluities sale, teas
in the homes also fruit and vegetable
showers.

the only self supporting Hospital

organizations a cook book of tested
recipes was compiled selling for fifty
cents. A birthday shower and tea was
celebrated on the birthday of the hos-
pital. They asked the surrounding far -
niers to donatea box. of apples, and

IN MEMORIAM
Sharpin—In loving memory of a dear
wife and mother, Mrs, Robert Sher -
pin, who passed away, 'Nov. 17th,
1927,
She is; gone but not forgotten
Andas dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking,
Thoughts of her are always near.
Days of sadness will come o'er us,
Friends may think the wound is
healed,
But they little know the sorrow
That lies within the heart concealed
Sadly missed by her loving hus-
band and family,
IN MEMORIAM
Adair—In loving memory of Gertrude
Adair, who passed away five years
ago to -day, November 13, 1928.
"As we loved her; so we miss her,
In our memory she is dear;
Loved, remembered, longed for al-
ways,
Bringing many a silent tear".
WORLD KNOWN CHILDREN
America's ca's Most Expensive Ilaby ae
a Bay 'Whose Wealth is
Great4o Tban Gold..
A chubby baby girl races over the
springtime grass. ef.New York's Cen-
tral Parl, tappearance she is not
1 n p
much different from millions of little
ones whose cheeks are two bright
roses and whose knees are scarred
from tumbles.
But Gloria Vanderbilt holds a place
apart from the rest. She is America's
most expensive babY.
Gloria, the three-year-old daughter
of " the late !-eggie Vanderbilt, and
granddaughter: of the late Cornelius.
Vanderbilt, pioneer fortune -builder,
holds a half interest in a trust fund
of $6,250,000. By the time she is a
debutante, it is estimated that her
fortune will have - increased to
$12,500,000,
It costs $5,000 a month to rear this
baby, who, though her meals be serv-
ed on gold, must take such simple
fare as orange juice, boiled eggs, and
porridge. How is the money spent?'
Detective charges are as regular an
item as boots and shoes in this baby's
budget, Repeated threats to kidnap
her have been made, and she is.
guarded closely at all times. Culture
accounts for further heavy expendi-
ture, for Gloria has an important
place to fill in the social . world.
In the rearing of the average child,
much is left to Providence, to the in-
stinct of mother -love, and chance;
but in the upbringing of a child of
the ultra -rich little is left to Provi-
dence, still less to the mother's pro••
teetiv^ in^tinct, and nothing at all to
chance.
The little son of Edward B. Mc-
Lean, the classic example of over -
guarded childhood, was protected by
every known human means from
every known peril. In spite of this
the boy was run over by a small car
and killed.
A million -dollar baby has the pro-
verbial privacy of a goldfish, and
Mary Ellen Berlin is one who has be-
come world -known through family
differences. Her grandfather, Clar-
ence Ma,kay, refused to be reconciled
to his daughter after her marriage
with the song-witer, Irving Berlin
The coming of the little blue-eyed
girl failed to bring peace.
Then there is Mildred, daughter
of Harold Lloyd, the cinema star. Her
grandfather banded down no well-
known name, nor any dynasty of mil-
lions, but the young father, a nimble,
quiet young man, supplied a golden
house from laughter. The new Lloyd
home will cost $2,500,000 when com-
pleted.
Four-year-old Joseph Boyer nearly
figured as one of America's young
dollar princes. The will of his sup-
posed grandfather, after whom he
was named, hadcreated for him a
trust. fund of $6,000,000. By a
strange twist of fate, it was discover-
ed,that the presumed young heir was,
in reality, a little waif taken when a
few hours old and passed as her own
baby by Mrs. Myron Boyer. The hon-
est plea made by the mother was that
she deceived herhusband to save her
home.
But if the lite boy did not come
into a kingdom of gold, he found a
kingdom of love, for although he has
been deprived of the fortune planned
for him, he holds the devotion of his
adoptive mother.
IN MEMORIAM
Sharpin-In loving memory of our
dear mother, Mary A. Sharpin, who
passed away, Nov. 17, 1927.
Sad and sudden was the call.
Of one so dearly loved by all,
The blow was hard, the shock severe
We little thoughther death so near.
Forget her, no we never will,
For in God's care she liveth still.
She bid no one a last farewell,
She had no chance, not one,
Her spirit flew before we knew
That she from us hadoflown.
The pearly gates were open
And a gentle voice said "Come",
And with the words unspoken
She calmly entered Home.
Sadly missed by Bertha and Frank.
Lunch was served at the Scottish
Rite Cathedral Club. Solos being sung
at this time by Mr. Vernon Carey,
which judging by the applause, was
much . enjoyed by those present.
The speaker of the afternoon was
Dr. F. W. Routley of Toronto„Hon-
.
Hon-
orary Secretary -Treasurer of Ontario
•
Hospital Association. He spoke on
the advantages of larger membership
in 'Hospital Association of Hospital
Aids. He mentioned the great ad-
vantages of present day hospitals ov-
er those of the past. In olden days
we were taken to hospitals so we.
would not be compelled to die on pu-
blic streets. He spoke of the wonder-
ful cures achieved, of children grow-
ing up strong and free from disease
of the great work done for humanity
through doctors, nurses and philan-
thropic citizens who have made scien-
tific equipment possible, and said the
height of hospital development 'had
not yet' been reached. He advocated
cheaper care of ordinary patients in
hospitals; and said the cost of care of
all sick people should be borne in
part by the community at large. Hos-
pital problems are best solved by
men and women in touch with those
problems, and all should get together
to educate the public. He expressed
a' desire' to see every lady a member
of Hospital Association.
Miss Binns of Toronto, spoke on
visiting housekeepers centre under the
supervision of the Canadian Red. Cross
They 'take the' mother's place when
she is iecapaciated, prepare the, meals,
care for the children, keep the house
clean;; arrange for laundry, do the mar-
keting and gine simple bedside atten-
tion. •
. It .was. ,then .:moved .and seconded
that we join the Ontario Hospital As-
sociation `as an organization, with
Miss Colter of Brantford, as a repre-
sentative of this section.
The treasurer's report was read and

the fact, that through Women's Aux-
iliaries contact was formed between
the hospital and the community. One
hundred women meant one hundred
points of contact between both. He
quoted his own success as being due
to Women's Auxiliaries, when as Supt.
of Victoria General Hospital, B, C.,
the work he was able to accomplish
was clue to the financial aid he re-
ceived, making it possible to purchase
necessities required. He stressed the
need df co-operation, Auxiliaries

of the Calgary Stampede. who re-
turned to Canada recently from
participating in Tex Rickard's radio
in Madison Square Garden, New

Grain storage facilities of the

now exceed 10,000,000 bushels, will
be largely increased next season, it
is believed, in view of the fact that.
storage bins are already nearly full
and the westward flow of grain
may have to be reduced in conse-
quence. Itis being reported cur-
rently that the Alberta Wheat Pool,
the Midland -Pacific Terminals and
other groups will add storage capa-
city to existing terminal houses.

Champion Autograph Hunter.
It is believed that the world's
champion autograph hunter IS Jos-
eph F. Mikulee, of Croatian origin,
now a naturalized American citizen.
For the past twenty-seven years he
has travelled the globe collecting the
signatures of the world's great men.
He has the autographs of United
States Presidents, kings, prime minis-
ters, ambassador, legislators, indus-
trial magnates, authors, caitors, ex-
plorers, inventors, religious leaders—
in short, almost everyone of distinc-
tion.
Having filled several albums, Mr.
Mikulee now travels around with
a
huge volume weighing half a hun-
dredweight, and requiring a . special
truck to move it about. The son of
a poor Croatian woodchpper, Mr.
Mikulee has been on tramp since his
boyhood, and the first fifteen years
of his autograph collecting were
spent on foot. In addition to his
native tongue he speaks English, Ger-
man, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and
a little Japanese.
Heis preparing material for a
book describing his adventures, and
in the meantime supports himself by
lectures.
Nutrition Fixes Stature.
The average height of human be-
ings is 5 feet 5 inches. The tallest
group are the Australians, 6 feet 1
inch, and the shortest the African
Negrillos, 4 feet 3 inches, and the
Eskimos.
According to Dr. R. Bennett Bean,
a professor of anatomy, who has ana-
lyzed the measurements of 1,022
groups of people of five continents,
nutrition fixes the stature of races.
people living near the sea get ..too
much iodine and tend to short sta-
ture; inland people get lime, which
makes for long bones. •
The lack of nourishment in the
Equatorial and Arctic zones keeps
those people short. People who live
in the fertile temperate zones have
more and better food, and therefore
grout taller.

LONDON WAR MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL .
Sir Robert Jones, the famous Eng-
lish Orthopedic surgeon declared re-
cently that in ten years the number
of men and women still suffering
from deformities incurred during
childhood will be reduced by ninety
per cent. The reason for this sur-
prising change is the fine work being
done in hospitals for crippled child-
ren. Diseases which were formerly
believed incurable are' now easily
remedied through the efficient treat-
ment carried on in. these Institutions.
The only hospital for sick and
crippled children of its kind in West-
ern Ontario is the War Memorial
Children's Hospital at London, Ont-
ario. This Institution has only been
in operation for five years, yet it has
acquired a reputation which is second
to none in Canada,
In the Spring of 1923 the first pat-
ients were admitted to its sunny
wards, and during the first three
years 528 patients from Windsor,
Sarnia, Chatham, Woodstock,and all
parts of Western Ontario, were car-
ed for, with a total of 27,398 patient
days. During the past two years 709
al,
patients were treated with tot pa-
tient
a -tient days of 32,795. These figures
speak eloquently of the increasing de-
mandupon the hospital from allparts
of this district,
Few people fully appreciate, the
importance 'of the War Memorial
Children's Hospital work. To under-
stand its value ix> Western Ontario
communities one must see the child-
ren at the time of the admission am
then see them again ,when they, have
Plant Is Living. Gas Works.
A plant that is a living gas works
has" been discovered by Dr. W. A.
Hamor, assistant director of the Mel-
ton Institute of Industrial Research.
It generates gas which can be light-
ed with a match.. This plant, the dit-
tany, grows in southern Europe and
Central Asia. Its generating plant,
says Popular Science Monthly, con-
sists of glands containing volatile oil.
In warm weather, the Oil evaporates,
making the air about the plant in-
flammable.
