Lone Scouts throughout the prov
ince will be gratified to hear that, on
the nomination of. the Chief Scout foi
Canada. (His. Excellency the Earl of
Bessborough), a very well-known and
outstanding man has been elected to
the Presidency of the Canadian Gen-
eral Council of the Boy Scouts Asso-
ciation. This is no other than E. W.
I3eatty, Esq., K.C., LL.D., etc., the
President of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, who for many years has taken a
great interest in Scouting activities in
this country. The fact that such out-
atanding men as this are pleased to
associate themselves with our move -
Ment, is a further proof of public re-
cognition of the value of Scout train-
ing, and we have every reason to be
proud of the fact that we are members
cre the Great Brotherhood of Scouts.
Recently a very interesting Lone
Scout meeting was held at Markham,
when Scoutmaster Don Hutchison of
the 2nd Troop, together with Mr.
Edgar Jones, Provincial Field Secre-
tary, visited the "Lollies" in that town.
The local hotel proprietor kindly
plated a room at the disposal of the
Scouts, and the evening was occupied
with the playing of games and instruc-
tion, and Mr. Jones had his lantern
with him and entertained the boys
with pictures of Scouting activities.
In the course of the evening a Patrol
was formed and officially recognized,
which is to be known as the Peewit
Patrol, and Scout Muir North was
elected Patrol Leader. It was. tenta-
tively arranged to organize a joint
meeting, some time in the near future,
of the Markham, Stouffville and
Unionville Lonies. We congratulate
the Peewit Patrol and wish theni all
good luck.
Last week we told you about the
Artificial Respiration Campaign, which
is being carried on by the Scouts all
over Ontario during this mouth, and
we told you how to go about obtaining
instruction on this subject. Recently
"The Globe" published an editoral
about this matter, commending the
Boy Scouts Association on. their organ-
ization of this campaign, and for the
benefit of those Lone Scouts who are
unable to obtain the ineormation else-
where, We outline below the standard
method of applying Schafer's Method
of artificial respiration,
1. Lay the patient on his belly, one
arm extended directly overhead, the
other arm bent at elbow and with the
face tuned outward and resting on
band and forearm, so that tffis lidgc
and xlaout11. are tree for breathing.
2. Kneel straddling the patient's
thighs with your knees placed at such
a distance from the hip bales as will
allow you to assume the first position,
;which is as follows:
Knees on ftoor opposite the hips of
patient. Body slightly bent forward,
palms of hands on the small of back
with fingers Testing on the ribs, the
little finger just touching the lowest
rib, with the thumb and fingers in a
natural position, and the tips of the
fingers just out of sight. Arms rigid.
3. With arms held straight, swing
forward slowly so that the weight of
your body is gradually brought to bear
upon the patient. The shoulder should
be directly over the heel of the hand
at the end of the forward swing. Do
not bend your elbows. Thi e operation
should take about two seconds.
4, Now immediately swing back-
ward so as to completely remove the
pressure.
5. After two seconds swing forward
again, Thus repeat deliberately twelve
to fifteen times a minute the double
movement of compression and release,
a complete respiration in four or five
seconds.
6. Continue artificial respiration
without interruption until natural
breathing is restored, if necessary,
four hours or longer, or until a physi-
cian declares the patient is dead.
7. As soon as this artificial respira-
tion has been started and while it is
being continued, an assistant should
loosen any tight clothing about the
patient's neck, chest or waist, Keep
the patient warm. Do not give any
liquids whenever by mouth until the
patient is fully conscious.
8. To avoid strain on the heart when
the patient revives, he should be kept
lying down and not allowed to stand
or sit up. If the doctor has not ar-
rived by the time the patient has re-
vived, he should be given some stimu-
lant, such as one teaspoonful of aro-
matic spirits of ammonia itt. a small
glass of water or a hot drink of coffee
or tea, etc. The patient should be
kept warm.
9. Resuscitation should be carried
on at the nearest possible point to
where the patient received his injuries.
He should not he moved from this
poiut until be is breathing normally of
his own volition, and then moved only
in a lying position. Should It be neces-
sary, due to extreme weather condi-
tion, etc., to move the patient before
he is breathing normally, resuscitation
should be carried on during the time
that he is being moved.
10. A brief return of natural respir-
ation is not a certain indication for
stopping the resucitation. Not infre-
quently the patient after a temporary
recovery of respiration, stops breath-
ing again. The patient must be
watched and, if natural breathing
stops, •artificial respiration should be
resumed at once.
11. In carrying out resuscitation, it
may be necessary to change the oper-
ator. This change must be made with-
out losing the rhythm of respiration.
Dy this procedure no confusion results
at the time of change of operator and
a regular rhythm is kept up.
Important Points
The most important . points in con-
nection with artificial respiration are:
1. Start artificial respiration as
quickly as possible after the accident.
2. Know Prone Pressure Method
perfectly.
3. Keep the patient warm.
4. Carry out artificial respiration
until the patient breathes or there are
definite signs of death.
(Success has been achieved after 8
hours of effort.)
5. Transport the patient to home or
'hospital in a lying -down position and
put him to bed.
If the above method is carried out
by trained persons after au accident,
there is no doubt that many persons
will be alive to enjoy next Christmas
that but for the action of artificial
respiration would have passed on.

Ontario : erry Crop
Northern Ontario has other sources
of revenue than its farm lauds and
rich mineral deposits. One of these
is the crop of blueberries, which grow
bountifully in that part of the coun-
try. This year about 140,000 bushels
were shipped from northern Ontario
to Toronto and other centers. Dur-
ing the height of the season as many
as 1,100 baskets were shipped daily
from North Bay by express. While
principally famous for mining, nor-
thern Ontario is also a very produc-
tive mixed farming area, and has
great resources in forests and water
power.—"Canada Week by Week."

German Production of Paper
Shows Heavy Decline in 1930
German production of paper in
1930 was adversely affected general-
ly—newsprint production perhaps less
than other lines, although the latter
attained only 539,500 metric tons in
1930 as against 556,000 tons in 1929.
This a 3 per cent, lorr, compared
with a decrease estimated at between
15 and 20 per cent. in sales of refined
paper.
The aggregate paper produetion in
1930 was 7 per cent. less than 111 1929,
while board output shows a loss of 6
per cent., according to figures com-
piled by the Central Paper and Pulp
Industry in Berlin. Paper produc-
tion totaled 1,961,394 tons, as against
2,112,500 in 1929, while the board
output amounted to 401,437 tons, a
loss of 25,513 tons.—I.T.S. Commerce

young Swimmers
Are Given Warning
Lifeguards are now preparing for
their summer work at the various
watering places and with the swim-
ming season in the offing, parents are
warned to see that their children are
first acquainted with thedepth of the
water in which they intend to bathe
or stvim.
Children, these lifeguards point out,
often seek the first swimming place
available when the weather becomes
warm and plunge into the water with-,
out knowing its depth or currents,
"Be sure the children know the
water first," these lifeguards warn,
"Don't let your children take chances
and now that wanner weather Is 00
its way and the swimming season
not far distant, parents should do all
possible In seeing that the toll of
I1 e duo to drownings is kept at a
minimum,"

Oxygen in Ozeans Studied
There is less fres oxygen. in the.
water of the Pacific Ocean than in
that of the Atlantic, and there is more
in the water of great deeps of both
oceans than in that from moderate
depths, says "Popular Mechanics
Magazine." These discoveries were
made by Dr. Erik G. Moberg, oceau-
ographer, after a chemical study of
thousands of samples. Since all plant
and animal life in the ocean is dpen-
dent on oxygen, the results announced
are of fundamental as well as theoreti-
calsimportance.

Sleepless Canadian Muffles
Whistles of Paris Trains
Paris.—Colonel, Beckles Willson,
Canadian. author and resident of
'Paris, has succeeded in muffling rail-
road whistles within Paris.
Colonel Willson, who wrote a• book
onAmerican Ambassadors to France,
lives:elose to a railroad station in one
of Paris's most exclusive quarters.
He was awakened at all hours of the
night by the shrill shriek of engines.
. Colonel Willson wrote a firm but po-
lite letter to railroad officials and
government authorities requesting the
muffling of the whistles. He received
many polite answers asking how could
they control the whistles, the only
language known to engine drivers and
railroad employees.
But .Colonel Willson was obdurate.
He argued that the trains whistled tr.‘o
much and too loudly, insisting that the
niunber• and volume of the toots could
be reduced to a minimum. Being of a
scientific turn of mind he even demon-
strated new types of whistles which
would serve the•same purpose but not
awaken persons sleeping a short dis-
tance from the train tracks.
The fficials experimented with the
whiles and found them satisfactory.
j,11.Ullnistry of Public Works has
issu'O orders that within two months
all trains must be equipped with the
.
muffled whistles.

Emeralds are among the Queen's

these green, and usually regarded un-
lucky stones, have a romantic his-
tory. They were worn by the
Queen's grandmother, the Duchess of
Cambridge, in a lottery. Afterwards
they were bequeathed to the Duchess
of Teck, and then later were left by
her to Prince Francis 61 Teck.
Since they have come into the
Queen's possession she has added
many other pieces, with the result
-that her collection of emeralds is
now one of the finest in the world.
Her favorite piece in the set is an
exquisitely carved emerald pendant.
The Queen is also fond of pearls,
and on unofficial occasions may of-
ten be seen wearing a double row
of these gems with single pearl ear-
rings. This partiality to pearls was
also held by Queen Alexandra and
Queen Victoria.

and Great Britain. Is there no voice
to be raised in defence of these people
who were invited and urged to come
to this country, and who came with
the hope and expectation of making
homes for themselves?

Montreal—With the world facing a
crisis more dangerous thp. the Great
War, co-operation between Great Bd.
taro and the other nations in the
British Empirewould solve the Ent-
pire's difficulties and be a potent force
for peace, Sir Arthur Duckbarm presi-
dent-elect of the Federation of British
Industries and a member of the British
Trade. Mission now In Canada undee
the presidency of Sir James Lithgow,
declared recently, in addressing the,
Montreal Canadian Club.
The cry, he said, should not be
Canada first, Australia first or Great
Britain first, but Empire first.
A. change of heart had been expert-
euced by British' industry, Sir Arthur
said, He predicted industry was ex -
'Awing the possibilities in Canada.
Nations must buy if they want to sett,
and Canada, if she wanted to sell her
wheat, must buy in proportion to what
she sells.
Canada, Sir Arthur added, would be
a nation of little importance without
the Empire; and her only hope, as it
was the only hope of Great Britain
and the other Britieh nations, lay
within the Empire.
Born a Liberal and a free trader.
Sir Arthur had changed. "World con-
ditionhave changed our minds," he
commented. "I was a free trader so
long as imports to our country meant
more work for our people. To -day
that is not so, and it ise time some
change should be made if the Old
Country is to recover from, the de
pression of the last 10 years,"
Referring to the aims of the Trade
Mission, Sir Arthur said, in part: "Wo
know it is no good to come here and
try to compete with home industries,
but -we feel that there is much Canada
buys that might be bought in the,
home country, and that by co-opera-
tion we in Great Britain could comple-
ment and implement our manufactures
so that the turn of trade may go east
instead of south. That is the line that
has been taken and it is possible to
go along it."

most stupendously magi.Eficent experi-

world has ever seen," said Henry B.
Sell, New York advertising man, upon
his return here recently from Moscow,
where he spent a week.
"What is more, I doubt whether
any one can honestly say which it is,"
he continued, explaining that his opin-
ion could go either way from the pres-
ent point, He said it was the "first
time any people ever seriously tried to
spend 90 per cent. of their energies
in building for future generations and
only 10 per cent. on themselves," and
that only time would tell whether
Russia would live up to her plans or
whether they would devolve into a
Napoleonic means of aggrandizement,
The temptation must be great far
the men in the 1remlir4 he believes.
He said he thought the -tempo of the
five-year plan was showing plats of
flagging and that the people were be-
ginning to fail to respond to the ex-
hortations to do bigger and better
things.
