It is hardly believable that people who are allowed through kindness to fnspect these files for different pur- poses would stoop to mutilating items that are no place else to be found in the history of Canada. Items have been scissored out of these columns by unscrupulous cusses, who were too lazy to copy what they wanted, al- though :they were getting it for no- thing.

True the city gets its taxes up to the time it becomes possessed of the property, but after that nearly all of the property is even worse than an inactive asset because it is generally vacant land or undes- irable residential property.

Alluring Daytime Frock 1832 -8 The yoke of this frock is un- usual and a distinctive departure from the obvious round or squared -off affair, because it ex- tends out over the shoulders and forms flaring little caps --- caps which conceal two inverted pleats and which are transformed into lovely loose raglan sleeves. The blouse gathers at the yoke and waist in front and back rendering fulness and a soft drapey appear- ance. The twin panels in the skirt give you height, and the skirt an added swirl, Two huge gathered pockets in unison with the blouse are interesting features and very practical. Make a self - fabric belt trimmed with a dia- mond shaped buckle and two har- monizing buttons, and notice how smart and up to the minute your frock will be.

Mille, the Memorandum states, is the only food which in itself nearly fulfills all the conditions of complete food. Tile properties of milk, 1(` is stated, also makes for .easy digestion. As the result of much experimental evidence, the. Memorandum ' states, "it has been shown. that Bows' �xiilk is the most valuable food known fol• the promotion of growth and health for children." Children should have from one to two pints a day, expectant mothers and nursing mothers about two pints, and other adults about one -hale putt.

It was not an original idea of his; lie mere= ly changed the colour from the' Gari-` baldi red to black, the former 'hue having acquired special significances. since Garibaldi's days. But he ter:: thinly .re -introduced the idea to the modern world, where it has proved the most infectious of diseases.

Though they are urged to dye them red If ne- cessity, "obedience" is the first word- in their breviary The Young Wafdists are to obey orders from their chiefs, which is more than the students would do when the political leaders tried to make them go back to work. In a cer- tain sense, it is out of this disobed- ience that the "Blue Shirts have grown. So long as they stick to their first principles, they 'nay be useful to their country. Obedience and dis. cipline are two things that are badly needed among Egypt's youth. They are hard lessons to learn, and it will be Interesting to see what the "Blue Shirts" make of them. -- The Sphinx, Cairo. The Origins of Kingship The ancient British love of a lead- ership which bad a spark of the div- ine in it, a hint of the absolute, ow- ing its creation to no man or group of men, was too deeply rooted to be eradicated. A king there must be, not clothed with "the right divine of the kings to govern wrong," yet endowed with a majesty not derived from elec- tion by the governed. British genius has evolved such a monarchy. Histor- ians of the future, seeing events in proper perspective, will probably find that it attained its supreme develop- ment in George V. — The Australas- ian. , Norays Birth Rate Dece Hollywood Is Blamed for That by Registrar of 'Oslo OSLO, NORWAY — Norway's capi- tal, has an "alarming deficit" of 70,- 000 children, according to the city re- gistrar, and he places the blame very squarely on the film companies of Hollywood. "In lowering the birth rate," he said "people do not really save money. They merely use their wages on un- patriotic things instead of supportiug national work. "Tho population of Oslo spends $1,- 000,000 a year for moving pictures, which means that the film compan- ies from Hollywood get that to which Norwegian farmers and food produc- ers have a moral claim," As a result of the lowering birth rate, Oslo today has 39,0110 children under 15, whereas the normal number should be 109,000.

Cliyie Urge 0 re ie English Doctors Ask Mind Treatment for First Offenders LONDON, ENG., — Crime hospitals for first offender's instead of prisons are embraced in a scheme of several Harley street spcialists and psycholo- gists. Lord Dawson of Penn, the King's_ physician and Lord Herder are among the supporters. An appeal has been issued for .$100- 000, the amount required for a clinic on the outskirts of London. The plan, formulated by the Institute for the Scientific Treatment of Deliquency— at present limited in scope — provides for mind treatment. The Ilome Office has been interest- ed in the scheme and an official, com- menting on a similar experiment at Wormwood Scrubs during the past two years. said "the authorities are satisfied the results so far justify the continuance of the experiment, which may lead to revolutionary changes fu the state's attitude in crime." Miss Evelyn Mackenzie, secretary of the institute said a "crime hospi- tal'' would be one of the greatest pos- sible value. "Many crimes are comit- fed through wickedness or weakness, but many too are due t0 disease, men- tal or physical," she stated. "In 1934 magistrates sent 35 cases to the in- stitute for treatment. Last year the number treated increased to 75." The staff of the institute is com- posed of 40 voluntary physicians and 'ay workers. yway Ifosiesses ust Meet Pretty Silif • Reqais!tes One Air -Line Has 2,000 Ap- plications for Stewardess Jobs NEW YORK — Requirements are strict, yet thousands of young women are seeking the comparatively few hostess jobs available on passenger shipsof the U.S. air lines. Six rears ago the first major U.S. transport line announced it was add- ing women to its regular crews. Since then the beauty, charm and bravery of the hostesses who cruise the skies have become traditional — and appli- cations from young women have now crammed the files of tlie major com- panies. One line has 2000 applications but insists there is a shortage of Wm - lined women. Generally stated, the air -minded young women must fill these require- ments if she would don the pert uni- form of the stewardess. She must be a graduate registered nurse. Her height must not be more than five feet, four, nor may she weigh 'more than 120 pounds. She must not be more than 20 years old. She must have an engaging person: t' ality, be solicitous of the comfort o others and capable of performing a variety of tasks, from explaining the fundamentals of aerial navigation to helping change a diaper, One of the air lines operates a school to polish its stewardesses, the classes going into such things as pas- senger pyschology, how to make air travellers comfortable, serving lunch- es and answering -questions about the geography of the routes flown. The stewardess must be a register- ed nurse explains an air line repres- entative "because the institutionally trained girl has an understanding of discipline and a knowledge of how to deal with the public that is required in the job of stewardess." The stewardess may not .be "beau- tiful but dumb." She must have sense enough to car- ry her end of almost any conversa- tion. She must have poise in. the pre- sence of the great and near great, for many in these classifications travel by air — politicians and movie stars, opera singers and captains of indus- try. The ranks of these aerial Jacque - lines -of -all -trades are constantly be- ing depleted by the quick bank -and - turn which lands women in front of altars. Says an air line official: "A majority of the stewardesses who have given up their work to be come housewives have married pilots while several ethers have married pas. stingers." N2 Plans to Rit Produce Control 13111 for Export and Hoare Sales Is Given First Reading ,. ii Ll,LI NGTON New Zealand — The primary products bill, which gives the New Zealand government full eontrol of all produce for both export and domestic markets, passed the first reading in the .1 -louse of As sembly last week. The bill also creates a new ministry .of marketing and a primary products marketing department. It is intended to protect the producers of primary products from the effect of fiuctua- tions'of the market prices by enabling the government to acquire 'ownership of, or control sale and distribution of 'Stich ' products as are intended #or internal consumption, But at the beginning' of the new scheme will deal with only dairy products and pork, bacon and calves. Butter and cheese will be dealt with first, Export prices for next season will be fixed on` the basis of .prices over the Dist eight to 10 years, A. dairy industry account will be opetted with the Reserve Bank with the power to overdraw, The • bill provides power for the transfer to the new minister of any, powers vested in nkat, fruit and other export boards, and adds all. freight contracts for extort must be made .by, .or approved, by the min - islet of • School Nasse Valuable Asset to Com, Illunity; . Finds Many Hindrances TORONTO — Miss Sally Lucas Jean, health education consultant of the Department of Indian Affairs, Washington, told a meeting of the Ontario Educational Association that the trained public health nurse was doe of the most valuable assets a coinrhunity could have, but that she was not' always allowed to use her professional ability to the degree her training warranted. Tier place, said Miss Jean, was not in the classroom instructing children in `health, but rather in the homes and in the community, serving to cre- ate confidence in scientific health pro- cedures, explaining, persuading and organizing, so that the school physi-i clan's advice might be put into effect.' The.. addition' of school luncheons for the pupils who are not able to get home was. another measure urged by Miss Jean. When pupils were able to bring their own lunches, hot dish- es of some kind, such as cocoa or'. soup, should be provided to supple. ment the cold food. Mass meetings of the parents in the schools, clubs and churches were important to the promotion of healthy children, Miss Jean believ-, ed. It was only by instilling in the minds of the parents the importance of health rules that the children could be trained along correct lines. W. P. Oakes, principal of the Cert. tral School of Commerce, Hamilton, told the meeting that students in his school were showing great interest. and enthlusiasm in the regular visits `f thenurse, which indicated that Of s c a new attitude Jwas developing toward health services on the part of the boys and girls of today.
