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."

Some interesting results of poultr
experiments were reported by th
poultry committee of the C.anadia
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 inl
poultry nutrition, F. B. Smith, of the
O. 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
poultryman has a variety of farm
grown grains, including those named
and some milk, he can get good pro•
duction from the flock, and the egg
will be hatchable.

ing, a few good words,
Dr. H. D. Branion, also of the . 0
A. C. staff, discussed the cereal
from the viewpoint of growth, an
introduced the argument that expel'-
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 b'e
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
the Poultry Committee, interjected
that there is a distinct swing to meat
in the programme of many poultry-
men today. For 'a number of years
many poultrymen thought only of
eggs,ut ne�w(they -are deriving "al-

fowl as from eggs, and birds for
market are coming back more pre
minently into the farm poultry pic-
ture.
S. Bird reported on refrigeration
studies conducted by the Department
of Agriculture at Ottawa, in con-
junction with the National Research
Council. This study is important
from the viewpoint of export to the
Old Country. Mr. Bird expressed
the opinion that three to four weeks
is all birds will stand in chilling
storage and come .out in good form.

Dr. Simard made a study of all
appendixes removed at Notre Dame
Hospital, Montreal, between 1927 and
1931. In an earlier study it had been
found there is frequently an abnormal
cell distribution, sometimes to sub
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.

per cent. showed nerve changes, lead-

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-

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 described as less
satisfactory.
Canada and Mexico. showed gains
for the month, but Central America
business conditions were not as good,
according to the report. Argentina,

cent in April helped Australia, and
rayon and steel production reached
new records in Japan, although cot-
ton and rayon textile production was
curtailed in May,.
World prices of raw materials
gained in April, with exception of
coffee, which declined and rubber,
which was about unchanged. Europ-
ean wholesale prices continued to
advance during May.

GEORGE AND THE DRAGON
"I 'aven't 'ad a bite far four days,"
said the tramp to the landlady of
the George and Dragon. "Could yer
spare me one?"
"Not a bit of it -now off with you,"
said the landlady.
"Thank yer," said the tramp, and7
slouched away. A few minutes later Q are two
he returned;
"Well, what is it now?" asked the
landlady.
"Could I 've a few words
George?" queried the tramp.
"The answer to the first part of
the question is that the peso -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
1Y2 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 might be
derived from the realization of high-
er thermal efficiencies, or from re-
duced machinery costs, the compar-
able cost of briquetted peat in On-

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.

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 peso -gram
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
uebec and Ontario .
"Thereelements 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-

peat bogs of Quebec and Ontario,
thereby achieving the double purpose
of increasing local occupational op-
portunities as well as the wealth of
