IN THE FUTURE SOMME dr THE POSSIBILITIES WHICH LIE AHEAD, Complete Conquest of the Air Will Effect Every Department of Human Activity. It will not be until the war is over and its lessons in aerial travel are applied in other than military fields, that the general public will appreciate the progress made. An expert is con- vinced, for example, that the weather reports within the next few years will not only cover atmospheric conditions on the surface but will include reports on air currents, temperature, &c,, up to an altitude of several miles. "Not long ago, before the war," be says, "even the most profound scien- - tide believed that with increase of elevation the temperature of the air decreased more or less uniformly from whatever it was at the surface of the earth to absolute zero at an elevation of thirty, to forty kilometers. Now we know that this is not true, that at an elevation of only ten to twelve kilo media the temperature becomes sub- stantially constant with respect to in- crease of altitude." Aircraft of the Future. This expert regards it as by no means unlikely that medical science will .find given altitudes beneficial for certain ailments and that the cures of the future may be based on study of the atmospheric conditions of various strata of the air ocean on or in which we shall soar and cruise about. The military leaders are now making special types of inachines for special altitudes. They have the battleplane and the light fighter and the heavy fighter and the so-called armored cruiser of the air to suit specific needs of the military situation. Why, then, should we not ,.have aerial yachts, aerial passenger craft, aerial hospital ships, aerial weather boats, aerial mail carriers? It will also be possible to write let- ters to persons on board .transatlantic liners after they have left port and have them delivered , by 'plane, and conversely we shall hear from our friends aboard steamers before they are in sight of land.

WESTERN CROP MUST BE SAVED Insistent Call for Men From Prairie Wheat Fields. The crop in Western Canada is ra- pidly approaching the harvest stage. In some places, indeed, cutting has commenced already. But the insist- ent call for harvest help will be gen- eral throughout Manitoba, Saskatche- wan and Alberta within the next few days. , Save the crop! is the urgent appeal from the leaders in all the Allied countries. In Canada, the young men of adventurous tenclencies in the towns and villages of Ontario, who have been unable to go to the trenches, will be contributing a very real service to the cause by helping grain growers of the Prairie Pro- vinces gather the wheat upon which so much of the success of war opera- tions depends. The rates to the west are low, and the wages, because of the high level of the price of wheat, are certain to be good, if not high. Moreover, there is always, the possileility that 'the har- vester, "doing his bit," may -locate a farm in the west and settle perman- ently there. To many young men and those more mature, in 'every, small town, in On- tario, including our own, this appears s-ang nt-opportixnity to serve the country in a praetfcal way. A pleas- molt. owned airplanes will deliver ;dip a *r •lomatic .pouches to statesmen at sea- aht= long distance train journey, and or perchance take off some foreign .i.;Ambassador who for particular rea- eseons is in a hurry to getto his home country. There will be plenty of work for the hundred thousand ox more trained fliers who return from duty in -the war zone. Although it is not generally realiz- ed, the casualties among the aviators at the front are comparatively light. Medical officers have a far longer cas- ' nalty list, and engineers or sappers have the heaviest list of all. RHEIMS, V.C. This Writer Suggests That Towns of War Fame Receive Decoration. Most people know that the French Government has conferred the Cross of the Legion of Honor on the heroic town of Liege, the town which saved Europe and the freedom of the world, and it suggests that certain towns de-, 1703. serve the V.C. from our own.

Sir Douglas Haig, upon whorls the King recently conferred the- Most Noble and Most Ancient Order 'of the Thistle, is the only recipient of .this high honor in rank lower than a bar- on. This ancient order of chivalry— the Scots' equivalent of the Garter— comprises the Sovereign, some other members of the royal family, and but sixteen knights. The Order is sup- posed to have been founded by King Achaius in 787 A.D. It was revived by James II. in 1687, and re-establish- ed by Queen Anne December 81st, as much. Take Rheims, fox instance. What a long and heroic` martyrdom it has en- ,dured—•its glorious cathedral, the Westminster Abbey of France, sys- • ntematically bombarded by the Huns ' and Vandals of 'the twentieth century, • Let•, ns home that the French nation will let it stand in all ,its noble ruin, an everlasting monument of the bar- barity of the German foe, the long egony of France, and the justice of their allied cause; and let our gracious Ring hang upon its sacred walls a colossal Victoria Cross "For Valor." Then think of Verdun. This is not the first time that little town has borne the brunt of battle, but its bap- tism of fire has never approached the scorching intensity of.. the present war. The name and fame of Verdun Is eternal. It is a name to rank with the highest and most heroic in French history. Then let our King follow the excellent example of the French Government, and bestow upon it the V.C, And, lastly, Ypres ---the Wipers of our brave, dead lads. What a record is there of heroism and that nil des - pet andnrn spirit which made and keeps this Empire of Britain.

Hun Newspapers Boast Love of Great English Dramatist. german newspapers announce with considerable pride that, despite all the b'tterness of the. war; the plays of Shakespeare receive first place in the theatres of. Germany. Despite the fact that England has barred Weg- ner's music and France has torn Ger- man paintings from the walls of the Louvre and Italy has desecrated the Goethe Memorial, Germany looks upon art as sacred and in' its cities are heard the works of Gounod, Bizet, 11/Io- liere, Puccini and Verdi; also George Bernard Shaw and Leo Tolstoi. Of 294 performances given in the Frankfort theatre, 1916-1917, fifty- five were devoted to the works of Shakespeare, only thirteen to Schiller and twelve to Goethe. In Frankfort, Shakespeare is revered even more than Goethe, and throughout Germany during this war Shakespeare's plays are produced in larger numbers even than in England. The German newspapers explain that in art no nationality is taken into account. Shakespeare is regarded in Germany not as an Englishman, but as one of the world's greatest poets and dramatists. Germans look upon Shakespeare almost as their own flesh and blood, they declare. .a From Greece to Belgium. King Alexander, the King of Greece,,has sent the following re- markabe telegram to the King of the Belgians: "On the occasion of Belgian Independence Day, I beg your Majesty to accept the hearty wishes of my peo- ple and myself for the triumph of the cause of justice and right, for which Greece is proud to fight at the side of her Allies, assuring your noble and heroic people the fullest reparation for the unjust sufferings they continue to bear with .-courage and patience, which rightly merit for them the sym- pathy and admiration of the civilized world."

It was the theory of Darwin that nature, made cherries beautiful to the eye for a definite purpose. Red, he said, was the most prominent and at- tractive color. Cherries turned to that hue in order to attract birds. Birds,. noting the brilliant globules, tasted them, found them to their lik- ing, told other birds and consumed the chop, swallowing seeds and MI. In this way the cherry stones were carried far and wide over the coun- try and dropped where they might grow into other cherry trees. CONVALESCENT, I'm home again in England!

Behind the lines they are boxing, wrestling, playing ball, competing with, each other in all sorts of ath- letic exercises, squad against squad, company against company, regiment against regiment, brigade against bri- gade and division against division. It has been found that these games, in which the competitive spirit is arous- ed among the soldiers and in which their physical/energies are taxed to the uttermost, are of great influence in keeping the men sane and balanced behind the lines. The games are started as soon us the soldiers come back from the firing line, when nerves are most in need of steadying and it is necessary to direct the minds of the soldiers into new channels as quickly as possible.
