Toronto Does Better
At the end of May there were 80,-
016 individuals on the Toronto relief`
xo11s, as compared with 101,643 on
the sante date last year—a reduction
of twenty per cent. In the first five
months of this year, as compared with
the first five of 1935, the gross cost
of relief in that city dropped by
$514,558.
At the end of May there were 19,-
988 individuals on the Ottawa relief
rolls, a decrease of a little more than
one per cent from 20,218, which was
the total on May 31-a year ago. The
number of families was actually
higher, having risen from 4,580 to
4,604 in that time.—Ottawa Journal.
Starlings Saved Crop
Every now and again the Star's
wandering reporter, Dan McDonald,
runs across something that appears
to upset the usual ornithological data.
Now, from. Harry Collins, of Echo
Bay, he gets a testimony in favor of
the starling, bounties for the killing
of which are offered in many sec-
tions. Mr. Collins says the starlings
last year ate the cutworms and saved
his crop. Next, please.
Recipe For Long Life
Perhaps the only reliable recipe for
long life is a discriminate choice of
parentage and ancestry. We once
heard Sir Oliver Lodge say that a
human being at birth is endowed with
a definite amount of vitality, which,
barring accidents, will maintain Iife
for a certain period of years, and no
more. One thing is certain, and that
is that human beings are never in-
tended to live on indefinitely, other-
wise the planet would become over-
crowded and the rising generation
would never get a chance. "Here we
have no abiding city." •— Stratford

Bicycles In Traffic
A boy on a bicycle and another
playing "tag" on the streets were
killed in Toronto. We have noticed
that some boys on bicycles ride as
though they were playing "tag" with
the motor traffic. There should be
some rule of the road for bicycles.

Doesn't Just Seem Longer
All in all, it seemed clear that
mariage is distinctly beneficial to the
health of the individual. The married
person's life is better regulated with
regard to sleeping hours, mails and
recreation.
Most husbands have a strong sense
of responsibility to their families
which makes them avoid conditions
likely to impair their capacity as
wage-earners; they, therefore, shun
known sources of infection and haz-
ardous adventures.
Moreover, married couples have a
solicitous regard for each other's
health which often insures timely
medical attention to condition which,
in single individuals, are likely to be
ignored until the damage is beyond
repair. — Brockville Recorder and
