Ottawa.—The half -way mark in
Canada's fiscal year was reached on
September 30 last, and figures cover-
ing the ordinary revenue and expen-
diture of the Dominion during the past
six months were issued today by the
Department of Finance.
These show a reduction in the total
ordinary revenue of Canada during
the past six mouths, as compared with
the corresponding period in the pre-
vious fiscal year, of $37,098,574. Ordi-
nary expenditure, on the other hand,
shows an increase of $7,639,043. The
net debt of Canada on September 30
last was $2,146,728,568, or $3,612,522
less than on September 30,• 1929.
The statement issued today repre-
sents only the receipts and expendi-
tures which actually passed through
the books of the Finance Department
up to the last day of September.
The major part of the decrease in
Canada's ordinary revenue, according
to the statement, results from a fall-
ing -off in customs revenue collected
during the past six months, as com-
pared. with the corresponding period
last year. Customs duties collected
during the past six months totalled
$7,3,585,050 as against $97,751,892 in
the same period in 1929. This is a
decrease of $24,166,842.
The total amount derived from ex-
cise taxes (sales and stamp taxes)
during the past six months was $17,-
397,923. This was a reduction of $10, -
May Use Helium in R-100
Helium may be substituted for
hydrogen and heavy oil fuel for gaso-

R-100 is now in her shed to receive
a new fabric covering and she will re-
main there until early next year.
England is keenly interested in Re-
presentative Britten's proposal to al-
low helium to be exported. Airship
authorities here are counting on a
drastic fall in the price of helium in
coming years and else on new sup-
plies reported to have been found in
Alberta. They believe it will be pas-
sible to inflate the R-100 with helium
for $175,000, and with the expenses
of maintaining the R-101 wiped out
they feel that the government will be
willing to purchase the non-inflam-
tinable gas so necessary for the R-100.

Glycerine Helps
If rain water is not available for
washing woollens, flannels and delic-
ate lingerie, add a little glycerine to
the water. This not only renders the
water delightfully soft, but helps to
eradicate dirt. A teaspoonful to each
gallon of water will be sufficient.
When it is inconvenient to use the
usual remedies for removing stains
from materials, a little glycerine may
often be used with advantage. Apply
to the affected parts with a pad of
soft cloth, allow to remain on the
material for •a few minutes, then
wash in the usual way.
If a little glycerine is added to fruit
while boiling, considerably less sugar
will be required. It also helps to
prevefft the formation of scum. A
tablespoonful of glycerine to every
three pounds of fruit• is the right pro-
portion.

Flagstaff, Ariz. —Fifteen persons

fatally, and 25 others received minor
hurts, on Oct. 12th, in a«miscalculated

Dinosaur Canyon, '70 miles northwest

Of the 25 receiving minor injuries,
15 required medical attention at the
scene. Physicians went to the loca-
tion from Flagstaff, the nearest settle-
ment of any size. ,
The mishap occurred during the

municipal doctor must give free medi-
cal service to indigents, and if neces-
sary perform the duties of health of-
ficer. In the demand of twenty-five
taxpayers, the council Hurst submit
a by-law to the electors empowering
the council to engage a physician for
full-time services at a salary not ex-
ceeding $5,000 a year.
Already, under• this co-operative
health measure, there are ° thirteen
rural municipalities paying medical
grants of from $900 t. $1,500 anually.
Nineteen other municipalities have
engaged municipal doctors at salaries
varying from $3,500 to $5,000 muper
ch
year. The system is giving
satisfaction, for it guarantees to the
physician a reasonable income and
gives the settlers needed medical
service.
Province Solves
Medical Problem
Saskatchewan Grants to Doc-
tors Provide Care for
Sparsely Settled Areas
Regina, Sask.—The problem oj.
medical service for'sparsely settled
areas is being solved in Saskatche-
wan by a system which provides for
municipal doctors. Distinct progress
has been made under a law which is
slightly more than a year old. •
Of Saskatchewan's 866,700 people,
scattered' over 251,700 square miles,
14.4 per cent. live in the eight cities,
7.7 per cent. in the eighty towns, 8.4
in the 377 villages, 65.3 in the 301
organized rural municipalities and 2.9
per cent. in unorganized territory, the
remaining 1.3 per cent. being Indians
on their reservations. Thus there
is an _extensive area needing medical
service, but which makes little appeal
to the young doctor seeking to earn
an immediate livelihood and to estab-
lish himself professionally.

to every municipality the right to

Meanwhile the British flying boats
are passing one triumphant test after
another and may prove to be ample
consolation for the sorrow of the 8-

This competition from some higher

is found mostly in a later age.
