Rescue and relief work by Scout
leaders and Boy Scouts following
the recent landslide catastrophe
on the island of St. Lucia, B.W.I.,
was officially acknowledged by His
Excellency the Governor. Wrote
the Governor, who is also Chief
Scout for the Windward Islands:
"It is with considerable satisfac-
tion that I learnt of, and saw for
myself, the excellent work per-
formed by the Boy Scouts of St.
Lucia following the disaster," In
addition to numbers of rescues
made at serious risk, and recov-
ery of the dead, the Scouts col-
lected clothing and bedding, and
gave valuable service at the hos-
pitals and refugee camps.

A troop of Boy Scouts has been
organized among the Basque
(Spanish) boys at the Laleham
Refugee Centre, Margate, Eng-
land, and registered at Imperial
Scout Headquarters as the 86th
Margate (Laleham Basque) Troop.
"These refugee children were so
undisciplined that I was certain
Margate would not put up with
them much longer," it was ex-
plained by Rover Leader Angell.
"But Scouting has brought them
together in the most marvellous
way imaginable, and everyone is
astounded at the result. The
Centre, which only a few weeks
ago was a flying mass of undiscip-
line, is now run on the lines of
the English school prefect sys-
tem, and everyone is better for
it." The Troop is running so suc-
cessfully that every one of the
Spanish boys has passed his Eng-
lish Tenderfoot tests, including
the Scout Law. It is said that
the whole atmosphere of the Cen-
tre, at which there are 80 child-
ren, has been transformed by the
introduction of Scouting ideals
and ideas.

1. When a young man becomes
interested in a girl he has recently
met, should he wait for an invita-
tion from her to call?
2. Is ten cents a sufficient tip
for one person, when checking
one's wraps?
3. Should the women be served
first at the dining table where
men and women are seated alter-
nately?
4. When a bride has no family,
near relatives, nor guardian, who
should pay her part of the wed-
ding expenses?
5. Is it ever permissible to
bring a gust when invited to an
affair?
6. How should unfrosted cake
be eaten?
Answers
1. No. "Faint heart never won
fair lady." The period of wait-
ing might be indefinite. He should
ask permission to call. 2. Yes. Of
course some will give more, but
ten cents is sufficient. 3. No; the
guests should be served in regu-
lar sequence whether man or wo-
man. 4. In this case the bride
should meet these expenses her-
self. 5. Only when the permis-
sion of the hostess has been ask-
ed in advance. G. It should be
broken and eaten with the fingers,
the same as bread.
What Science
* Is Doing
WEIGHT REDUCER
A pituitary extract produced in
McGiIl University research labora-
tories has been shown to be suc-
cessful in practical tests as a
weight reducer. The extract does
its work by speeding up metabol-
speeding up metabolism and thus
ism and thus burns up fat depos-
ited in excess in body tissues.
WHEAT ELECTRICALLY -
SHOCKED
The yield of wheat can be in-
creased by electrical treatment of
the seed, according to Professor
Benedetto Riccioni, The profes-
sor's experiments at his laboratory
at Terni, Italy, are stated to have
been verified by the Italian Min-
istry of Agriculture and the Con-
federation of Italian Farmers. He
claims that the method is simple
and inexpensive, applying ohm,
the electrical unit, to increase the
energy contained in the seed it-
self.
FEVER BOX
Medicine has a new' trick, heat-
ing the human body to make the
medicine permeate better. The
University of Pittsburgh, after a
year's study of artificially -induc-
ed fever has developed a new kind
of "fever box" to heat up human
bodies.

"This form of treatment," the
inventor states, "produces greater
absorption of the drugs and more
rapid results than the former con-
ventional methods, thus shorten-
ing the course of the disease and
preventing later complications."
ELECTRONS DO RHUMBA
By causing electrons to do the
rhumba, three young California
scientists have produced a new
type of radio which may give avia-
tion a formidable "life saver," and
perhaps revolutionize the whole
field of ultra -short wave transmis-
sion.
Radio engineers have pronounc-
ed it the most important advance
in that science since Dr. Lee de
rorest produced the vacuum tube
in 1906.
It generates extremely short
waves both powerful and easily
controlled—an impossibility with
the usual ultra -short wave equip-
ment.

Q. How can I mend broken
china?
A. Stir plaster of Paris into
the beaten white of an egg, to the
consistency of paste. .Apply this
to the broken edges and allow to
harden thoroughly.
Q. How can I remedy soup that
is too salty?
A. Add two or three pinches of
brown sugar to the soup. This
will remove the salty taste, but
will not sweeten the soup.
Q. How can I avoid getting
rough hands on washday?
A. Add a few drops of vinegar
to the rinsing water on washday,
and it will help prevent the hands
from becoming rough.
Q. How can I make a good but-
ton receptacle?
A. .A. large-mouthet. bottle is a
great improvement over the cus-
tomary button box. By turning
the bottle around, the desired but-
ton can often be found at a glance
. without emptying the entire con-
tents.
- Q. How can I remove water
stains from furniture?
A. Use a tablespoon of powder-
ed pumice, mixed with enough lin-
seed oil to make a thin paste.
Rub on the spots until they dis-
appear. Then wipe off with a
cloth dampened in polish.
Q. How can I prevent the hot
fat in a frying pan from spat-
tering?
A. Sprinkle a little flour, or salt,
in the pan before using the fat
for frying.

TIRED FEET
The name of Commissioner John
McMillan, chief of staff of the In-
ternational Salvation Army, has
been mentioned several times late-
ly as the possible successor to
General Evangeline Booth as gen-
eral of the Salvation Army.
Commissioner McMillan is well
known throughout Canada. He
started his career in the Salvation
Army in Toronto some 50 years
ago. He was on the Canadian
Territorial headquarters staff for
some time and 1896 went to Aus-
tralia as private secretary to the
commissioner.
Known To Canadians
During the Great War he was
in Canada again as chief secre-
tary. Later he was transferred to
the United States where he was in
charge of the Chicago territory.
.Another transfer took him to New
York, the biggest Salvation Army
area on this continent.
Then he was made a commis-
sioner for the Canadian territory,
which includes Bermuda, Alaska,
and Newfoundland.

Sheepskin Rugs
Sheepskin rugs can be washed
at home. Soak for an hour or two
in a large vessel of warm water,
with a small quantity of washing
fluid, ammonia, etc. Press the rug
into the water and stir about.
When most of the dirt is extracted
put into another warns -water bath
with more ammonia, and press
with a vacuum washer or a dory
stick. --
Rinse the the rug in three or four
clear warm waters, and pass
through the wringer with a very
loose tension.. Then shake vigor-
ously before hanging up to dry in
a good breeze. Shake continu-
ally during the drying process. The
lining must be washed separately.

Fungus Ca ses
Lumber Losses
Seasoning Yards Must Be Kept
Clear Of Old Decayed Wood
And Other Sources Of Infec-
tion.
When an unslightly blue stain in
sawn Iumber causes losses of thous-
ands of dollars to Canadian lumber-
men through lost sales, the forest
products laboratories of the Domin-
ion Minas and Resources Depart-
ment tracked the nuisance down
to a minute fungus.
Wind-borne spores, investigators
found, germinated in the summer
months on the moist surface of the
freshly -sawn lumber in the season-
ing yards. The thready growths all
worked deep into the lumber as it
dried and produce the dark, tell-tale
stain.
Spores Borne On Wind
The remedy proved fairly simple.
The scientists found that seasoning
yards must be kept clear of old", de-
cayed wood, mill sweepings, woods
and other sources of infection by
the spores. As an additional precau-
tion, dousing fresh sawn wood' in
an inexpensive chemical solution
has been recommended to prevent
growth of the fungi until the }rood
has been thoroughly dried out.
