It is therefore with great pleasure that we record the fact that two brothers, Lone Scouts Robert and Al- bert Passmore, of Hensali, have sue- eessfully passed the requirements for the Icing's Scout Badge, and we know that all the Lone.Scouts of Ontario will heartily congratulate them. The Oog Show We are glad to be able to report that this "show" was most suocessful and .a full list of the prize winners is published etz the April number of. "Ori Lone Scout Trails,' which has been Mailed to all Lorries. The prize winner in the. 1st Class was Bruce Isaac of Lucan, Out., for the best essay describing his dog. - In CIass.Two the winner of the first Prize was Ronald Sage, of Ingersoll, e4or the best written and composed es- say. We publish herewith the winning es- says and offer our •congratulations to ll the pt'.tewinners: Bruce Isaacs • I have decided to enter zny dog- in your dog show because I tbink he is Rahe most wonderful dog in the world 4nd I wouldu't trade him for all the pedigreed dogs in the world. The breed of my little (leg is a fox- eerrier and he is about one foot six inches in height. He Is all white from tail to head and he is three years old• He is a good Worker and can pull nee around in the sleigh, and he can also huut cattle and rte is not a bad watch -dog for a little pup. My little dog cannot perform any tricks, but I love him just the same. I pike my dog because he and I are the very best of pals and he will do any- thing for me. . My dog is the father of six lovely pups. My brother, who is twenty- three. has enc of his little daughters. Ronald Sage's Essay "S.ki ppy" Skippy is a collie. Although he lays no claim to being a thoroughbred, it is easily seen that he is a very fine speci- iuen of his race. To east: the least, Steppe.' 'is' hand- some. He has a very fine coat of long silky hair and this on his tail is like a. waving plume. en,color he is a beautiful brown with a large white patch on his chest. He is magnificent- ly built, having a long, intelligent look- ing nose, thick. sturdy legs; a very aristocratic tail and a deep, finely burved chest. Sizippy is not • very big, being just about a year old, but he gives promise of being a wonderful 3iog, doing credit to his clan, the Col- lie. Last fall we sold our cattle, but e hefore that Sitil>Ity showed that he had the makings of a flue cattle dog and he was ouly a pup then. He is a born "heeler," which means that he goes af- eer the cows' heels, that is the sign of agood cattle dog, He loves to hunt rats and mice. Our granary and baro are full of these pests and Skippy is Always ready for a hunt and has ;;aught rats seven or eight inches iu eength. Skippy has beeu hardly old enough to be taught tricks, but he will "speak" for his dinner, fetch a stick, climb into et chair and sit up and so on, He also loves the water and in summer he has a great e, timethe i n t ze creel:. Why do I love Mut? Why does any boy love his dog? Because he is a irieud, a faithful companion who loves and will follow anywhere,' who asks aothiag but your love. Such is Skippy. tehis Week's Scout Law—No. 7—"A Scout obeys orders of his parents, patrol leader, or Scoutmaster, Without question. This is :._ very important law, as without its aid it wotecl be impossble or the Boy Scouts Association to car- ry on efficiently. Whatever the organi- zation, whether it be a business, club, church, army, or anything else where a number of people congregate, if law and artier le to be maintained, some- one must be the leader and undertake the responsibility, and unless the others are prepared to accept his in- structions the organization proved un- successful, The very foundation 'of our home life is the fact that children "honor their father and mother," and if they were allowed to do as they please from the day of their birth, our nation would soon sink into oblivion. Further, it is a well known and uni- versally recognized fact that no per- son can successfully act as a leader and give orders unless they them- selves have first learned to obey. How else can they understand the position of those uuder them? Therefore ,to le a successful Scout it is necessary to learn obeillenice,• so that as time passes and the oppertanii- ties arise, you can become. a success- ful leader of your fellow Scouts, and take Your place in later life as a lead er amongst your fellow men. There is room in the ranks of the Lone Scouts of Ontario for many more boys of Scout age. If you are linable' to join an ordinary Scout Troop, and are between the ages of 12-18 inclusive, why not be a Lone Scout?

London Zoo Trying • Incubator on Penguin Eggs London.—Penguin's eggs, laid in the Guano Islands, are being incu- bated ucubated at the London Zoo, 8,000 nniies from the mother bird. They were rushed from Cape Town by air, in the hope that they would arrive in a fertile condition, thus solving the problem of bringing penguins safely to London, one of the zoo's biggest difficulties. So far there have been no little strangers ie. the penguin house. • Canada Built 12,600 Dwellings During 1931 Detailed reports from more than fifty Canadian cities show that 10,- 750 permits for dwellings (including houses and apartments and, iu many cases, repairs and alterations), esti- mated,. to cost $47,000,.000, ,Fere is- sued in 1931; this -compares with 12,600 residential permits in 11930 whose total value was $53;000,000. The average estimated cost of a dwelling in 1931 was $4,334, as com- pared with $4,200 in 1930. The iu- cY•ease in value can probably be at- tributed to a larger proportion of apartment houses in the total tor residential building.

JACOB'S REVERENCE, vs. 16, 17. INTRooucrxoN-Jacob had ,commit- ted two major offences against his brother, Esau. For a mere trifle he had secured his birthright (Exodus 25: 27-34) ; and he* had stolen from Isaac the blessing that properly be- longed to Esau, 27: 1-40. By taking these mean and crafty advantages of his brother, he had aroused Esau's hatred, 27: 41. Esau vowed that re- verge would be . him upon Isaac's death. Thus Jacob's position was ser- iously .,aeopeedized in the home. Once again,. as•m etli the stories of the pe triarchs, strife was avoided by isola- tion and separation. Jacob must leave home. There was a further reason for his leaving hotne, in that the time lad now come for him to marry, and his mother was anxious for hint to take a wife from among her own rela- tives in Haran, who were Aranteans living in Mesopotamia, 27: 43-46. Up to now his record had been bad, He had proved himself selfish, crafty and devoid of fraternal sympathy. God, however, has his own way of dealing with a wrong -doer, and of fashioning hint for future service and greatness. L THE REVEALING DREAM, vs, 10-12. 4 Atone and on foot Jacob set out on his journey, a fugitive front his bro- ther's hatred and revenge. The jour- ney front his home in Beersheba to Bethel must have occupied at least two or three days. Arriving at Bethel at sundown, when all good Hebrews retired, he decided to halt for the night, and sought out a great boulder for his head -piece. Nightfall, soli- tade, and a troubled conscience, -- what a setting 7.er the dream tluti followed! Here Dr. Lynn Harold Hough offers a valuable suggestion. He points 'out that Freud, the psycho- aualyst, • claims that dreams are the occasions upon which our suppressed desires leap u > ^ from the s ubconset o .xs l .t mind and play the part denied them itt real life, Freud thinks, however, that it is invariably our evil desire that emerge in dreams. Dr. Hougb suggests that it may very possibly be that our good desires also come to the surface in our dreams. .it is interest- ing to interpret Jacob's dream la this way. :Bad though he was, pet there » as a core of goodness in hint - to which God could appeal. For God cannot grant a revelation of hinnselk unless there is a soul capable of ap- preciating it. The medium of r'eveia- tion here was a dream. The men of Israel thought that very frequently God used dreams to communicate his secrets. Jacob's was one of the most beautiful and majestic dreams over conceived, It was all the more im- pressive in that it unfolded at fist in complete silence. With its foot rest- ing on the earth, a ladder—suggested, it may be, by the rocky ledges of the Bethel mountain -side, or bythe rain- bow—stretched up to heaven. Heaven, therefore, could not be very far away. The ladder was astir with a great traffic. Up and down it moved the angels of God, for they were not as yet thought of as having wings. Hea- ven, according to Hebrew thought, is net an empty and depopulated place, bat filled with living and ministering spirits. The Hebrew mind projected personality out into the unseen world. American Traffic System Fails to Please Paris Faris -First experiments conduct- ed in Paris with New `York's system of synchronized trafi%e regulation re - salted in a complete traffic jann in exactly- twenty minutes, But Fre- toot of Police Jean Chlappe, who superiutended the test Is not peon viiaoed that the system is impractical. He thinks that it will work better When the public has been accustom- ed to it, - The experiment was tried in the most congested district of Paris, bee tween the Portes Saint lelartixt and Saint Denis, and where the Boule- yard Sebastopol crosses the Grands Boulevards. Electric signals mere installed eo that when traffic was stopped on the Grands Boulevards, that from the Porte Saint Denis and Porte Saiut Martin entered simulta- neously. A few seconds later bele cross traffic from the, Boulevard Sebastopol was also admitted auto- matically. Then automatically all transverse streets were closed by the signals and traffic over four blocks on the Grands Boulevards was kept moving for three minutes. For a short time it seemed as thot+gh the system was working prop- erlywithout the interference of the traffic police, but soon confusion de- veloped and in twenty minutes ein- oulation, was completely ' stopped, with ears unable to move in any direction, It .took the police half an hour to restore order under the old billy club system of direction. Other experiments will be tried and if they attain the results Mr. Ohiappe desires, the entire Grand Boulevard system from the Church of the Madeleine to the Place de la Bastille will be placed under syn- chronized .trafne regulation. Twentieth Century Inventions Drawing Empire Together London—Radio broadcasting, avia- tion and movies, are being utilized to weld the British empire more closely together, economically, golftically and sentimentally.

This aptitude in Jacob for taking account of the future, God .,ow quickened and turned to his own great purposes. There are two phases to God's promise of the future. The one has to do with Jacob's personal for- tunes. Lonely sinner though he was, yet he was assured that God's watch- ful care would be over him in all his i in capturing even a small share of wandering's, and that he would be tete empire market. brought back in safety to his own land.

Ant they aro sure to be infested if they run with other infested horses. Most of the horses that we see killed for fox zneat are •worm infested to some degree. The colt 'being particularly susceptible to worm infestation, during the first few mouths of its life, should be given some protection against these pests, which may become serious enough to cause death of the colt. The start should be made with the brood mare and the other horses; treat these or have them treated with a suitable worm expeller. This done the source of infection will be cut off and the pas- tures will be relatively safe for the colts when they arrive. Iu£ection takes place through wormy horses scatteriug the worm eggs over the pati tune field in the faeces, so if the mare is free of worms the owner will have little to worry about, and the colt wilt grovr well and be free from attacks of verruinous colic. Verminous colic is, serious and may cause the death. of the oolt. Better prevent worm infer -i talion, so that the colts will not ex perience this trouble. The colt th&t laic free of worms and bet grubs is mare likely to thrive and grow well than the neglected colt that depends on no management at all. Change the pas. ture ground frequently during the aura - mar, keep them away from wormy horses, and have them treated with a carbon disulphide capsule when they come into winter quarters.

Trade and the Empire By Stanley Baldwin One of the interesting results al. ready of our departure front the free trade policy has been a certain influx of foreign manufacturing buss ness. That tendency has been rath- er exaggerated in the press, but ft is a real movement, and 1 would re- mind you that we in England have owed a good deal in the past to some of those 'lmportantions of new manu- factures. We brought weaving. a typically British industry today, from the Fleminfs. it was the French Hugue nuts who taught us how to make silk; and so it is today that we find the toy maker from Nuremberg, the clockmakers from the Black Coma try; the perfumery and toilet access sories made in Paris are conning over to be made in this country. and also the 'nest kinds of ladies' stockings from Saxony. Those are Industries that will be valuable to us because they will not only provide work to meet the de- mands of our own customers at home but they will broaden our equipment for competitive ardent coming from abroad, and increasing. I hope, our exports and trade. Perhaps the most important thing is this, that at last there are net,, more arguments about whether a.' tariff is a good thing or a bad. We are at last going to put these econ• omic theories to the test of expert. ecce, and we shall know, instead of arguing about, tate results by the time four years hence or more this; government renders up its mandate to the people.
