Scouts Were Match For G. B. S. Addressing Boy Scouts after an an- nual Scout marathon not far from his home in Hertfordshire, George Ber- nard Shaw offered the typical Shaviau advice that for future contests the boys not sleep out under the skies nor carry food, but take possessor of homes whose owners were absent, and beg their meals. Returning to his own home, Mr. Shaw found on his doorstep a troop of Scouts requesting food, and entering, found several Rover Scou.s making themselves comfortable' for the night. No one enjoyed the joke better than G. B. S. How Many Scouts In the British Isles?

Scout Guests at C.N.E. Nearly 200 Scouts from outside points, including the U.S., were guests this year at the Scout Camp maintain- ed at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion by Toronto Scouts. Apparently Dead, Revived By Scout The revival of a boy who had been declared dead from drowning was credited to Scout training by New York papers of Sept. 6th last. When brought ashore at a bathing beach, Eagle Scout Robert Spieth immediate- ly began artificial respiration. Doc- tors came, and declared the victim dead, but Scout Spieth persisted in his efforts, and breathing was finally restored. If you are not a Scout ,and live on a farm or in some place where you can- not join a Scout Troop, why not be- come a Lone Scout?

Scouts at the Empire Conference A number of selected ,scouts repre- senting various parts of the Dominion acted as supernumerary messengers and guides in connection with the Im- perial Economic Conference at Otta- wa in July. The boys, all of First Class rank, were housed at Dominion Scout Headquarters. Otherwise they met alt their own expenses. The op- portunity of service end of seeing the great Empire figures of the day was their reward. Cause Is Found Of 1abies' Disease Researches. Reveal that Germs ,;.

G. FitzGerald, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, in an ai•praisal of the discovery. "It simply remains to educate the general pub - a research on the dreaded "summer complaint" at the Hospital for Sick Children and announced at the Uni- versity of Toronto last week. Known also as "acute intestinal intoxication," and characterized by vomiting and diarrhoea, the cause of the complaint has hitherto been unknown, and hence its treatment has 1-eer difficult. It is now shown that dysentery bacteria cause the illness, and that the microbes are spread by house flies. The research indicates the means for preventing spread of the disease when an outbreak occurs. It shows why ct.ses are more common in poorer sur- roundings than in families in good circumstances. FATAL CASES NOW RARE. Importance of the findings is indi- cated by the fact that as many as - seventy-five infants have died in the Hospital for Sick Children in a single 3 -ear as a result of the intestinal up- set. Now, however, the disease ia ex- plained and fatal treses are a rarity. Those responsible for this latest medical advance are Dr. Alan Brown, associate professo• of medicine in charge of pediatrics at the University of Toronto; Dr. F. F. Tisdall, associ- ate in pediatrics; Dr. T. G. IL Drake of the Children's Hospital staff; Mrs. M. M. Johnston, hospital bacteriol- ogist. That the disease is caused by bac- teria is stated "conclusively proved" ;The kinds of microbes responsible are ;simliar to those causing mild intes- tinal upsets in adults as a result of the eating of food carrying the infec- tion, or by the drinking of water con- taining germs which may not cause fatal disease, but give rise to unpleas- ant symptoms. The research has been so success. ful that it is regarded as entirely out of the laboratory stage. "This is of Goodbye Sonny! Off to Port Said! Here we see a member of the King's Dragoon.

Ottawa.—Since 1922 a total area of 402,500 square m-..: has been covered with aerial photography, comprising 125,000 square :piles 1•y vertical photo- graphs and 277,500 square miles by oblique photographs. The work is carried out by the Canadian xovern- ment Topographical Survey with the co-operation of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Vertical photographs are used for mapping on fairly large scales or where the country is rough or mountainous, while oblique photo- graphs are specially adapted for the exploratory mapping of those exten- sive areas of forest and lake cf fairly uniform elevation which constitute such a large proportion of Northern Canada. Regina, Sask.—It is estimated by the Dept: of egatural Resources that over 83,000 persons visited the Sas- katchewan Provincial Parks during the present season.

Lethbridge, Alta.—Officials of the Canadian Sugar Factories at Ray- mond have estimated about 36,000,000 pounds of sugar will be produced from this year's beet crop, with several hun- dred tons of molasses. Base price being paid by the Raymond ractory under contract with the growers will be $5.00 a ton, but bonuses on the 1932 yield are• also anticipated which will increase the value of the crop and give the growers an average of $1,000 each. Sowing to the flesh (v. 8) refers to such gross sins as drunkenness, sexual impurity, which leave their disastrous consequences. It refers also to all those "sowings" whose harvest, good in itself frequently, end with this life..

Roman history refers to riots among the Jews which resulted in some expul- sions by Claudius. The Christians were often reported as disturbers of the peace (Acts 17: 6) and enemies of Caesar. Paul argues that the very existence of government indicates that it is or- dainec. of God.

The man who obeys does not fear the police. Judges, magistrates, policemen are his friends and defenders. They are "not a terror to good works," v. 3. What if they are?

Remember them; they and you will grow together unto the fulness of the stature of Christ. Spain Forms Land Board Madrid.—Now that Spain !has defi- nitely begun to divide the land and thus reorganize the basic industry of the country, the government wants to sure that the problems are solved a' ably and quickly as possible in order to forestall a breakdown of na- t:onal economy.
