GOD GRANT ME — God grant that life shall bring to me a harvest rich in golden deeds, And grant that somehow I may serve in helping those in direct needs. God grant that with a cheerful smile I may allay another's fears, . .And give me kindly hands to wipe away my weeping sister's tears: I would not serve a multitude nor touch the millions on the way, But grant to me that happiness of helping those I meet each. day.

Banker—"Hhi L6oks -a little differ- ent to me, but I'll take a chance. Any news?" Wife—"Yes, Ruth Higgins called up. They want us • to go over there for dinner on Thursday." Banker—"Rm. How do you know It was Ruth Higgins?" Wife—"Why, she said so, of course.. And besides, 1 recognised her voice." Banker—"Oh, she said so, and you recognized her voice? Now isn.t that dandy? And you expect me to take a chance of getting gypped• out of my dinner on flimsy identification like that. Before we accept, I want to see her myself, and get a written identi- fication over her signature." Read It Or Not:—Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, England, married a sec- ond time at the age of 120 years. The old man was, at least, observ- ant: Rural Father --"Wily do you spend so much time on the crease of your pants?" College Son --"It is very important, Dad, not to wear baggy trousers." Rural Father—"Important, is it? Did you ever see a statue of a famous man who didn't wear baggy trousers?"

Although the elbow was properly set, she developed neuritis and could not straighten her arm. She was ordered to take I£ruschen—with the happy result de- scribed in this letter:— "I had an accident four months ago, and ray elbow was seriously dis- Iocated, Fortunately, it • was set right there and then, but afterwards, I could not straighten the arm to its full extent. It was X-rayed, and the surgeon told me I was inclined to be rheumatic. I was ordered to take Eruschen Salts—one teaspoonful in a glass of hot water on wafting, Now I am getting alomg famously. The pain in my elbow is better, and, daily, I am able to extend the arxil more easily."—(Mrs,) P. Rheumatic conditions are often the result of an excess of uric acid in the body. Two of the ingredients of, Kruschen Salts have the power of dissolving uric acid crystals. Other ingredients assist Nature to expel these dissolved crystals through the natural channels.

Hungerford, Chairman and President of the C.N.R., Corn- pares Revenues For This and Preceding Years. The year 1937 has witnessed a fair- Iy steady improvement in this conn- t;y's affairs•, and consequently in the' position of the Canadian National Railways, as will be seen from the following comparison of system rev- enues for this and preceding years: 1933—Gross revenues, $148,500,000; net revenue from railway operation, $5,700,000, 1936—Gross revenues, $186,600,.000; : increase over 1933, $38,100,000, 2d%; net revenue from railway operation, $15,100,000. 1937 (Est.)' -Gross revenues, $199,- 000,000; 'increase over 1933, $50,500,- 000, 34%;• net revenue from 'railway operation, $18,150,000. How much better the picture might have looked, had it not been for the unprecedented drought in Saskatche- wan, may be judged from the Clop fig- ures, Canada's wheat crop for 1937 is estimated at 182 million bushels as against 229 for 1930 and 567 for 1928. Saskatchewan's wheat crop Is esti- mated at 32 million bushels for 1937, as against 117 for 1936 and 321 for 1928. Rise In Lumber Carloading3 Turning to the forest products in- duairies, it is encouraging to note the sharp rise in Canadian carloadings of lumber, pulpwood, pulp, paper and other items which, during 1937, ex- ceeded by 20 per cent. or more the totals for the previous year. A similar 20 per cent. increase has taken place in Canada's tourist business, and a 15 per cent. increase in passenger traffic on the Canadian National Railways. Travel by rail has been rendered more attractive by the air-conditioning of additional trains, and by an average - reduction of 10 per cent. in regular passenger rates made in 1936. It is believed. that these measures, together; with the continued offerlag of frequent low fare excursions, have contributed materially to the popularity of railway passenger service. Transportation Problem Canada, in company with many oth- er countries, is faced with a trans- portation problem arising ^fromu the rapid development of commercial transport which makes use of the pub - Ile highways. Certain other countries have, by more thorough regulation of highway transport, conte closer to a solution than has this country. It can- not be denied that the failure of com- mercial motor vehicles• to pay a fair share of the enormous Cast of public highways constitutes a hidden subsidy to this form of transportation, at the expense of the private motorist as well as the taxpaying publ•lc.

Dr, W. W. Watts, British geologist, last week offered scientific evidence which he . believes shows : that 'South Africa, South Anierica and Australia were at one time parts of a groat continent close to the South Pole, His findings, revealed in the annual report of the gmitllaonian Institution, Washington, D,C,, gave credence to the old concept of a hypothetical con- tinent�„o5 Gondwanaland around the South Pole, 20,000 Years Argo Chief evidence of the Southern con- tinent was scratches of glacial drift over rocks in these parts of the South- ern, hemisphere, as well as glacial de- posits of gravel. Ile said that some geologists. believe that the glaciated lands formed part of a single land mass more than 20,- 000 years ago. This mass floated like a raft across the South Pole regions. Continental Drift Theory Dr. Watts explained that this theory fitted in with the hypothesis of con- tinental drift advanced by the Ger- man scientist, Alfred Wegener, Under this theory, the present regions of South Africa, Southern South Amer- ica, Madagascar, Australia, New Zea- land, Tasmania and Antarctica broke apart and floated away from each other over the earth's crust like ice- bergs in the ocean. Fragments of the supposed contin- ent can be fitted together• in fairly good fashion considering the dates of severance, Dr. Watts said. Canadian Seed 'hurt tge Seen Red Clover and Alfalfa Supplies Appear to be Running .Low, Supplies of seed for spring sowing on Canadian farms are none too plen- tiful, according to information reach- ing the Department of Agriculture, In most parts of the country there is sufficient seed grain to meet re- quirements providing it is not sold and shipped out between now and seeding, There is, however, a defin- ite shortage of alfalfa and red clov- er seed and supplies of other clover and grass seeds are none too plen- tiful. Til the drought areas of Saskatche- wan and Alberta, 6,000,000 bushels of wheat,' 4,300,000' bushels of oats, arid 1,100,000 bushels of barley will be re- quired for seed. Fair crops were harvested in areas of Alberta, Sas- katchewan and Manitoba, and the best of this surplus, if obtained with- out delay, would' be sufficient to meet the seed shortage. Decrease In Crops Supplies of clover, alfalfa and some of the. games seeds are variable in different provinces. Drought in central and Western Ontario caused great damage to red clover. The 1937 crop reached only 1,100,000 pounds, as against 4,500,000 pounds in 1935 and 2,500,000 pounds in 1936. The requirement fox' seeding in 1938 is about 4,000,000 pounds, with 1,500,- 000 pounds of Canadian seed to meet it. Signs For X1.,300,000 .Airport 'On Dotted Line' Mayor F. H.

Trained Minnows Answer Food Call Rise to Surface at a Certain Note --Professor Claims Fish Make Sounds Anglers tell us that certain fish are very sensitive to outside noises, and therefore they keep as quiet as pose- ible on the banks, Others doubt this, saying. that noises have no effect on fish. professor K, von Frisch, of Munich University, tells us that Some of the more highly developed species can hear as well as, if not better than, human beings. Biologists have always been sceptical about fishes hearing sounds, but there are many other matters in which they are in opposi- tion to practical field observers. Can They Hear? In deciding the question "Do, fishes hear 7" It is as well to take the word of those who have tried practical ex- periments, Professor von Frisch test- ed a number of minnows, training therm to come to the surface to take food4'when a certain whistle was blown. He tells us that his best min- nows could pick up the• whistle from a distance of two hundred yards. These minnows, kept in a large tank, were trained to take food only on a certain note; if they rose to the surface on the wrong note, they re- ceived a tap 011 the head with a twig, They soot learned the difference be- tween the food note and that denoting danger. Two Methods of Hearing The professor tells us his experi- ments shoaiiyed that fish have two meth- ods of hearing, 011e through the ears, R1VND ITS YOUR NERVES h ie, u151111y; when your nervone balance le upset• that you feel low in health and spirits: Restore that balance by feeding your starved nerves.

Pike, perch and eels are only able to hear by the latter method, and for this rea- son cannot pick up high notes, al- though there seems to be no limit to their range of low notes, I doubt if many of us have heard a fish make a sound, but Professor von Frisch has found in his experiments with minnows that they utter small "peeping" poises not easy for the hu- man ear to catch. The total area estimated as sown to the principal field crops in Can- ada for 1937 is 56,678,900 acres. The output of central electric sta- tions in Canada during October am- ounted to 2,365,062,000 kilowatt hours compared with 2,280,508,000 in October a year ago. More than 42,000 Hailes of railway mileage are in active use in Canada, a mile for every 245 persons of the population. Electric current generated in Aus- tria is being "exported" to Germany. England has started the laying of bicycle tracks paralleling highways. LITEN... 411A14ilt tANADA»i93 09 y'. IL, 'S INSPIRINGMPERIAPROGRTO8ACC(M Every Friday Night on a National Coast -To -Coast Network For Traffic Study Test T be Highway Highway Nearly WO Miles Long Part of Plan to Discover Haz- ards; Survey Carried Out Un- der All Conditions. A "test-tube" highway, nearly 100 miles long, is expected to develop a basis for reducing accidents in Penn- sylvania. Typical as to communities, open country, paving types and dimensions, the test road will apply only to reme- dies wbich have proved effective. Fur- thermore, remedies and traffic devices will be restricted to those which can be put to state-wide use. In an interview, Mr, Canning, the Engineering Director, expressed high hope for the experiment's success. "So far as we know," he said, "this is the most extensive highway safety test ever undertaken. On a much smaller scale, certain test observations have been made in the past, but we can find no record of an experiment sucb. as the one now under way in Pennsyl- vania." All Sorts of Driving Conditions The highway chosen has a relative- ly high accident record. It goes through several types of communities and ,traverses varying landscape, so that all sorts of driving conditions are included. It also contains widths of pavement common to Pennsylvania, and is paved with different types of surface used on the State's highways. "Complete accident records for the past 12 months will be obtained in a survey," said Mr. Canning, "and wherever it is found that highway conditions have been a contributing cause, the Department of Highways will be asked to eliminate hazards. Major improvements will not be at- tempted, but such minor improve- ments as super -elevation of curves, lengthening of sight distances, re- moval of roadside structures and wid- ening at hazardous points will be car- ried out as preventive measurc,.s.." To Last a Year The experiment will last a year, and the accident record for that period will be checked against the record for the preceding year. The result is ex. pected to prove the effectiveness of improvements in eliminating highway casualties, and from the experience gained officials expect to develop a safety formula for State-wide applica- tion. Engineering, education and enforce- ment are the principal weapons to be used against accidents. Publicity will inform users of the "test-tube" road of the nature of the experiment, so that complete co-operation may be had.
