People Married Younger
During The Depression
Ontario's vital statistics for the
year 1933, which have recently been
issued in printed form, disclosed a
curious change in the most -frequent -
marriage age, says the Toronto Star.
"In 1929 at the height of prosperity,
there were more brides of 21 than
of any other age. In 1935, in the pit
of the depression, there were more
of 19 than of any other age.
"And then as to grooms. In 1929
the group aged 24 was largest; In
1933, the .group aged 23. Are people
really marrying earlier? There were,
of course, fewer total marriages in
1933 than in 1929. While 21 was the
favored age for brides in 1929, it
had a close rival in 19 by 1932, and
19 -year-old brides led the list in
1933. Among the grooms, 24 was the
favored aged in 1929 and 1932, but
gave place to 23 in 1933."

diagnosed as ''rlbronic," Dr. Louis
C. Simard, of Montreal, reported to
the section on general surgery of the
Canadian and American medical as-
sociations recently.
Dr. Simard made a study of all
appendixes removed at Notre Dame
Hospital, Montreal, between 1927 and
1931. In an earlier study it bad been
found there is frequently an abnormal
cell distribution, sometimes to such
a degree that small tumors are form-
ed. These' are generally considered
scar tissues when studied under the
microscope, but the cells can be de-
monstrated by a special laboratory
technic.
Dr. Simard divided his collection of
appendixes into "acute," "chronic"
and those that had been removed
in the course of some other operation.
In the gruop labelled "chronic," the
abnormal condition of the nerves was
demonstrated in 51 per cent. Even
in the "acute" group, nine per cent.
showed them, In the other group, 30
per cent. showed nerve changes, lead-
ing the physicians to suggest that
these were the cause of symtoms

Many Interesting Results Re
ported By The
O.A.C.
Some interesting results of poultry
experiments were reported by the
poultry committee of the Canadian
Society of Animal Production, which
held a meeting at the 0. A. C. ;:,on
June 12. The discussion centred .: ` a-
round cereal grains and their use in
,poultry nutrition. J: 13, Smith, of the
0. A. C. staff, 'showed from ex-
perimental work how a mixture ,of
farm grains,—oats, barley, wheat
and buckwheat -along with milk,
were good for both hatchability and
production. Liver meal proved to be
a good substitute for milk from the
viewpoint of, .hatchability, but if a
poultryman as a 'variety •of farm-
grown grains, including those named,
and some milk, he can get good pro-
duction from the -flock, and the eggs
will be hatchable.
Dr. H. D. Brapion, alsq ' of the 0.
A. C. staff, discussed the cereals
from the viewpoint of growth, and
introduced the argument that experi-
menters and research workers really
do not know what constitutes quality
in bone. Poultrymen sometimes have
considerable difficulty with slipped -
tendons which cripple the chickens,
yet the bone in that case may be.
just as large and contain all , the
minerals found in the bone of the
healthiest bird. Dr. Branion pro-
phesied that it would be eventually
learned that not mineral . elements
and their combinations but some
other and now unrecognized sub-
stance would really constitute quality
in bone of poultry, horses and other
classes of live stock.
At Macdonald College cereal grains
have been tested from the viewpoint
of fattening and finishing birds for
market. Professor W. A. Maw said
that corn distributes fat through and
between the tissues of the fattening
birds, whereas fat • produced from
wheat is largely laid down on the
outside of the carcass beneath the.
skin. Corn -fed birds are very pala-
table when eaten, whereas birds
finished on wheat are inclined to be
dry and unpalatable. Barley -fed birds,
particularly when cold, have a de-
licious chicken flavour.
This research work conducted at
Macdonald College has a direct bear-
ing on the grading, of market fowl,
and Dr. F. N. Barcellus, Chairman of Jack Dempsey says:—"Don't Iead

men today. For a number of yams
many poultrymen thought only of

NEW YORK—World industrial pro-

the first quarter average, according
to the monthly statement on foreign
economic conditions issued by the
National Industrial Conference Board.
All major countries with the ex-
ception of France, Belgium, Switzer-
land and the Netherlands showed in-
dustrial output well over a year ago,
according to the survey.
Unemployment decreased from
March by 5.7 per cent in Great Bri-
tain, 7.0 per cent in Germany, 6.6
per cent in France and 1.3 per cent
in the United States, the report said.
British industrial output gained over
March, and there was some improve-
ment in the Netherlands.. Conditions
in France, Germany,. • Italy and
Switzerland were ' describef1j jas less

Canada and Merica showedgains

according to the report. Argentina,

ment, Wool prices rising 14.4 per
cent in April helped Australia, and

new records in Japan, although cot-

SAVING POSSIBLE
Quebec and Ontario Have
Assurance From
Expert
Ottawa—Effective use of the peat
bogs of Ontario and Quebec to pro-
vide cheaper fuel and furnish em-
ployment is proposed in a report
prepared by H. G. Acres, hydraulic
engineer and peat expert, of Niagara
Falls, Ont. Mr. Acres has investigat-
ed processes of briquetting peat in
Denmark, Scotland and Ireland. He
deals extensively with the peco-grana
process.
Mr. Acres concludes his report as
follows:
"Can the peat bogs of Central
Canada, or any of them, be made to
produce in volume a hard, transport-
able fuel, sufficiently high in effec-
tive heat value, in proportion to its
bulk, to enable it to compete success-
fully in the domestic fuel markets of
Quebec and Ontario?
"There are two elements to the
answer, one having to do with the
physical qualities of briquetted peat
as a fuel and the other having to do
with its status as, a saleable com-
modity.
Plenty of Minntd's well
rubbed in soon sets you
right. Bathe the sore part
with warm water before you
Stitt.
You'6i soon 16mbea up Y
"The answer to the first pert of
the question is that the pato-gram
process will produce in volume a
hard transportable fuel; that its heat
value in proportion to its bulk is
such that it can be readily and con-
veniently used as a general purpose
household fuel; and that by reason
of its special qualities, briquetted
peat has a pound for pound party
with Canel coal as a fire -place fuel.
"The answer to the second part
of the question is that on the basis
of the assumed heat value ration of
1% to one it would be necessary to
sell 3,000 pounds of briquetted peat
in order to deliver the same amount
of effective heat that the customer
would obtain from 2,000 pounds of
average anthracite coal.
Applying this ratio to the Herin
estimated production cost of $4.57 per
short ton, thereby foregoing any
prospective benefit which night be
derived from the realization of high-
er thermal. efficiencies, or from re-
"auced machinery costs, the connpar-
able cost of briquetted peat in On-
tario or Quebec becomes $G.85. In
other words, on the basis of 5(3,000
tons of briquetted peat per annual
the production cost f.o.b. factory of
the equaivalent of 2,000 pounds of
anthracite coal would be $6.35.
"Taking the delivered price range
of prepared sizes of anthracite coal
throughout Ontario and Quebec at
$13 to $16.50 per short ton, this
would mean a spread of $6.15 to $9.65.
per short ton between production
cost and delivered price.
"These latter figures would appear
to indicate that briquetted peat fuel
is a saleable commodity.
"Such being the case, the final
conclusion is that there exists in the
peco-gram process an opportunity to
make effective use of the heat re-
sources now lying dormant in the
peat bogs of Quebec and Ontario,
thereby achieving the double purpose
of increasing local occupational op-
portunities as well as the wealth of
the community at large."
