Like in "Grand Ho- tel" these passengers offer a study in human actions and reactions which unconsciously bare their souls. . . . These characters are aboard the ship: Macduff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spend- ing the savings of 20 years; An- gela, faithful wife of Lovat, gig- olo; Dick Charlton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jen- ny, run -away wife, and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . and his soul. No, go on with the story. "Why are you happy, Jenny?" His gaze was on her suddenly, cool and searching. He caught her hand, turned it over and kissed the cupped palm. Jenny did not answer. • Peter brought out his cigarette case, a flat gold one, with his in- itials engraved in the corner. Jenny had always admired it, and she felt sure that there was a story connected with it, for he seemed to prize it more than any other thing he possessed. He took out a cigarette, flipped the case over to her, and remarked: "Put it in your bag, Jenny." "Why?" "Merely because I want you to. It's something I'm extraordinarily fond of. Don't forget that." "You must expect to have your pockets picked in Bangkok." "Perhaps I do." He smiled and she dropped it into her bag. Leaving the train at Bangkok, they drove past trim white houses and through immaculate streets. They boarded a launch and railed up the Menam to the king's ',glace, slowly approaching e rats that clustet Around i The scene seemed to Jenny to have sprung full blown from the pages of Hans Anderson. They walked past the devas, giant grotesques intended to frighten away the devils. Helpless Without You "I think when we choose our home in England, I should like a deva to guard my door," said jenny) laughing at the spiked -Monsters. They wandered through the courtyards of the compound, Jen- ny's face alight with interest. Peter was silent. She had rarely seen hint look so handsome. "it's nearly twelve o'clock," he remarked, twisting his elbow to look at his wrist watch. "As if' time mattered in the least! I feel that this is a spot where hours have no meaning." They went into the temple that held the Emerald Buddha. It was like going into a dark cave filled with green water. For several minutes they could see nothing but a filtered jade mist, for the sun was still in their eyes. Jenny leaned on her parasol and tested. I sweeten my morning cereal with BEE HIVESyrup because it IVE is better for me. Issue No. 30—'38 by Ishbel Ross "Jenny darling!" said Peter, urgently. "Yes?" She swung around in re- sponse to something in his voice. He touched her hand rind whis- pered: "It's nothing. it doesn't natter, but you're very helpless, aren't you, dear?" She noticed that he looked a little strained, and that his hands were shaking. "Without you, I should be, Peter." CHAPTER XV Peter squeezed her arm, then wandered off to look at the carv- ing in the temple. Jenny stood in contemplation before the Em- erald Buddha. She stared at him until she was half -hypnotized. An- gela came walking up to her. "I think, in a way, that this is one of the best of the Buddhas," she remarked. "It goes so well with the bright gimcrackery of Bangkok," said Jenny. "Isn't it an amusing place?" "I've always thought *it the most exotic place on earth. Have you,• seen the white elephants?" "My husband and I have just been looking at them." "Oh, is he about?" "He was, a minute ago." Jenny looked round, but there was no sign of Peter. "He's al- ways wandering off," she explain- ed, "He's a horn traveler, but he forgets that he has me on his hands at times." Disappearance. They were walking tht•ough the courtyard now, Jenny turning her head from side to side. "I'nt looking for Peter," she said. "I'nt would be so easy to lose a husband among the wets of Bangkok." "Rather! All those winding stairways and giant devas. He's probably hidden behind a deva 1" "Should we leave the courtyard and look somewhere else? But he may come hack, expecting to find me here." "You stay where you are and 1 shall stroll outside. He may have gone towards the gate." Jenyn stood in the middle of the courtyard, leaning' on her parasol. Everyone else was trooping out. They were •all on their way to the Phya Thai Palace for lunch- eon. Peter could not fail to see her, standing there so conspicu- ously in the center of the count-. yard. It must be fully half an hour since he had looked at his watch ani} said it was twelve o'- clock. Had something happened to Peter? But how ridiculous to think that a competent person like Peter should come to harm. "I shall go through these build- ings, and you take the others, An- gela, will you please?" said Jenny, indicating the two to the left. "I'nt getting frightfully nervous." "Don't, my dear, There's no- thing to worry about at all. Your husband knows his way about. I think you should stay in the courtyard until he comes and finds you." Jenny ignored her warning and hurried across the cobbles on feet that were now winged with alarm. It was most disquieting. She 'raced from building to building. When she rejoined Angela she was pant- ing, and her eyes were wide with fright. Fresh Certainty "Jenny, my dear," said Angela, "the thing for you to do is to come back to the hotel with me. Noth- ing is to be gained by staying here," Jenny was at last persuaded to leave the palace. She was droop- ing now. A thought flashed like a thunderbolt through Jenny's mind. The words sprang to her lips before she could check them: "Have you seen Mrs. Langford about?" "No," said Angela. "I'nt sure she didn't come with us today. Johnny was looking for her from end to end of the train, and is now in a huff because he couldn't find her." (To be Continued) Letters from Canada bearing postmarks reading "Observe Sun- day" are said to be worrying those running football betting pools in Britain because they fear the idea might spread there, with all mail marked "Don't Gamble". England has just learned that nearly half the motor drivers in- volved in fatal road accidents are under 30 years of age. Empty Glass Jars Have Dozen Uses Can Be Made Into Bird Houses; Plants Transported In Them So many foodstuffs conte in glass jars now that one has plenty of them for every possible need, Here are a few uses: Partly cut a small hole out of :the till lid of a large Jar and bend the cut part down to form a shelf. Place the lid securely on the jar and fas• ten the jar on the limb of a tree near the house. Wrens will use it for a home, The shelf is convenient for alighting and the glass permits one to study how the wrens, moth- er, and babies, conduct their home life, Containers For Seeds It embroidery is a pastime, glass jars are most adaptable to use for keeping the floss from becoming tangled. Too, it permits one to see just what colors are on hand. One woman carries a few jars with her in the car, and' when she 'volts to transport a few•plants she can place theta It tate jar, punch.. holes in the lid and take diens with' nut injury to the car, I'ler husband did not object to her taking small transplants in the car but slid not have any patience with the little piles of dirt which had sifted from her newspaper carrier, Where one collects from the gar- den large quantities of. seeds in the fall, jars make splendid storage con- tainers, as the seeds cannot spill, what kinds and how many can be seen at a glance..'

Rich Children More Nervous Behaviour Problems Discovered More Likely to Affect Those From Well -To -Do Homes. Nervous disorders and behav- ior problems are more likely to affect children from well-to-do hones than those brought up in poverty, according to experiments carried out in London, England, The experiments were conduct- ed by Dr, Lindsay Neustatter, a clinical research assistant in the Department of Psychological Medicine at Guy's Hospital, I -Ie sought to discover whether . pov- erty and bad social conditions had any effect in producing nervous disorders, Selected Groups For this task, the results of which are described in the medical journal, The Lancet, Dr, Neustat- ter selected three groups of 60 families. Nine' per cent. of the children in the poorest group were restless or irritable . in their first year of life. In the well-to-do group 30 per cent were' restless or irritable. Well-to-do children showed much more worry, instability of mood, timidity, aggressiveness and ob- stinacy than children from the poor families, Nearly three times as many provided behavior pro- lems, Tho poorer children showed shyness, fear of noise and punish- ment. Well-to-do children showed more fear of the dark and of animals, nearly pne in five of the rich chil-. dren showed abnormal fears without rational foundation, None of the poor children studied was thus affected. Twenty per cent. of the • poor children were classified as ner- vous, 24 per cent, partially ner- vous, and 56 per cent. displayed no nervous symptoms, Of the well-to-do children, 38 per cent, were nervous, 26 per cent. par-, tially nervous and 36 per cent, not nervous 'rt all, Knitted Linen Garments Cool Fine -Twisted Linen Thread Knits Up Very Light—Paris Is Using A Great Deal Of It.

GIDEON: FOLLOWING GOD'S I'LAN—Judges 6: 1-8: 35 Printed Text: Judg, 7: 9.7, 15-23 • Golden Text "Have not I commanded thee? 1 73o strong and of good courage. Josh, 1: 9, THE LESSON 1N i,TS SETTING Time—The principal events of this lesson occurred about 1250- 1249 B.C. Place—The town of Ophrah was located in Manasseh, west of the Jordan River, south of the Plain of Jezreel.; the valley of Jezreel is identical with the Plain of Megiddo, that large fertile area in the centre of Palestine running from the foot of Mount Cannel to the foot of Mount, Ta- bor; Succoth, in the territory of Gad, was located a little north of the brook Jabbok, One would have thought that, with the glorious deliverance of the. Israelites from the bondage "of Jnbin and the defeat of the host under Sisera, the Israelites would have whole-heartedly and zeal- ously turned to Jehovah in thanks- giving anti in obedience to his laws, forsaking the sins which had brought about the oppression, from which they were so wonder- fully delivered. But no; it Is the story of the human heart over and over again; man is so prone to forget God, and to go his own stubborn way, to be allured by the customs of the nations round about. Retribution was not far away. The Midianites came down upon Israel, and wrought a great- er havoc and enforced a sterner bondage than that generation had experienced. Nothing else brings men to God so .gdickly as trouble; ancl, when the oppression of the Midianites became unbearable, the • guilty children of Israel turned to Jeho- vah, beseeching him to deliver them. Just at this time the angel of Jehovah came to the village of Ophrah, in Manasseh, west of the Jordan, for the express purpose of announcing to a young man by the name of Gideon that God had called him to deliver his peo- ple, Two things the angel told him. First, that Jehovah was with him; and, secondly, that Jehovah had C=ommissioned him to save Israel from the hands or Midian. The Midianites, and the Amele- kites, and the children of the east were gathered together in the val- ley of Jezreel. At the same time the Spirit of the Lord carte upon Gideon, who sent mesesngers throughout Manasseh to Asher and Zebulon and Nephtali, calling them together for the great battle which lie knew was inevitable at this hour of crisis. "4. And Jehovah said unto (Od- eon, The people are yet too many; bring then down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, 'This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever 1 say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5. So he brought down the people unto the water; and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that tappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog tappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon .is knees to drink. G. And ttie number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred mere: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 7. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the thee hundred that lapped will I `ave you, and deliver the Midian- it(s into thy hand; and let all the people go every pian unto his place. The ten thousand men who svere left after the elimination of the cowards were still too many to defeat 135,000 Midianites, Ac- cordingly the very singular and memorable device which is here recorded was adopted,' The Hien were led down to the water, and till those who lay down to drink, put':ng their mouths to the wat- ts, were rejected, while all those %.she merely stopped and scooped up water in their hands were se;ected. These latter were the true soldiers; men who could not make a leisurely business of drink- ing while the enemy was in sight, hot who cold, at the most, snatch a mouthful of water as they pass- ed the stream. The simple device showed a real difference of tem - /se &meat in the Hien, and set them off into two well -Befitted classes. Tremendous Vic!ory 15. And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he re- turned into the camp of Ist•ae', and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath de - livered into your hand the host of Vidian. 10. And he divided the three hundred nren into three companies, end he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and. empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers. 17. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise; and behold, when 1 come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 18, When 1 blow the trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and for Gideon, 19, So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. 20. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon. 21. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put then to flight. 22. And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Je- hovah set every man's sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and all the host fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zere- rah, as far as 'she border of Abel- neholah, by Tabbath. 23. And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Man- asseh, and pursued after Midian. Gideon is now well persuaded that the fear of disaster is not for Israel, He returns to the camp, and forthwith prepares to strike. One bold device, he be- lieves, rapidly executed, will set in operation the suspicions and fears of the different desert tribes, and they will melt away in defeat. 1t was not long after midnight when the three companies reach- ed their stations. The orders were carried out precisely as given, and the consequence was that the host ran, and cried, and fled. To and fro among the tents, seeing, now on this side, now on that, the menacing flames, turning from the battle -cry here to be met in an opposite quarter by the wild dissonance of . the horns the sur- prised army Wes thrown into utter confusion. Escape was the com- mon impulse, and the flight of the disorganized host took a southeasterly direction by the road that led to the Jordan val- ley, and across it to the Iiauran and the desert. It was a complete rout.

Corey Ford and Alistair McCain, the famous American writers, may find it necessary to travel the length and breadth of Canada to catch "the biggest fish of the year," but Peter O'Day, who does magazine and radio work and who also is a disciple of the late Issac Walton, apparently doesn't believe in the adage that far -away fields really are green. O'Day recently landed a six and a half pound bass from one of the lakes in the Rideau district. The unhappy thing about it was that the fish was caught three days before the season op• erred.

MOST POPULAR CLASSICS We have all heard of the con- tests for choosing the most popu- lar dance orchestras and jazz com- posers—but here is something dif- ferent—a contest for choosing the most popular of the classic com- posers. This unique contest was run by station WQXR, New York City, and met with great approval. A total of 3,286 votes were sent in and the results were: Beethov- en, Tschaikowsky and Wagner, as the three favorite composers, in the order named. The most re- quested selection was the beauti- ful Fifth Symphony by Beethoven which received 23.9 per cent. of the votes. This selection with oth- ers will be played over WQXR in the all -request programs during July.

Argentina Fly Fights Hoppers E::periments Made In Belleville Laboratory May Aid Western Farmers to Combat Pests. Argentine, now being experiment- ed with in the Dominion Entom- ological Department's laboratory at Belleville. Against the grasshopper prob- lem have been pitted many of the resources of a department whose personnel has jumped from two employees 23 years ago to 350 today. Tons and tons of poison were shipped to the West last year to combat the grasshoppers; but something more effective is needed and the little hopper -hater from South America may provide the right means of fighting the peat. Poison Sometimes Works Estimates have placed this year's infestation of hoppers in the West at 62,000,000 acres, slightly less than last year's, but a surer prophecy can be made next week when the plague begins to lay barren whole fields of grain. As many as 30,000 eggs have been found in a square foot and they have been known to go as high as _98 per cent. The bee -fly experiment is still somewhat uncertain for no one knows yet to what extent the fly may bo acclimatized, and years must pass before the number produced could be effective. Grasshopper poison is believed to have saved $80,000,000 in crops in the West last year. The work is difficult to carry on, though, for the areas where the tiny eggs lie must be found and the poison must be laid at just the right time to catch the larvae emerging from the eggs.

Old London's Zoo, Whipsnad'e, and Manchester's Belle Vue Zoo- logical Gardens can trace their lineage back to Egypt of the Pto- lemys, to the days of Roman grandeur, and the glorious era of Greece. In his book, "Animals for Show and Pleasure in Ancient Rome," just published, Mr. Geo. Jennings traces the zoo's history, and tells many interesting animal stories, The Egyptians kept live ani- mals on show from intelligent curiosity; the Romans too often for the additional pleasure of see- ing them fight together, or against human beings in the arena. Some Greeks kept ferret& or polecats as household pets, as we keep cats today; fish -ponds were to be found in every garden of the well-to-do. Trained Elephants Ant eating pangolins, burro' ing for their natural food among the sands of Eastern Turkestan, were credited with the ability to find gold. In 46 B.C., the Roman Government possessed a herd of elephants trained to carry lighted torches in processions. One noble Roman kept a pond full of savage murenas, into which he would throw slaves that had merited his displea 4ure. Like the bloodthirsty pirayas of the Ama- zon, these savage fish instantly attacked and devoured any hap- less being struggling in their waters, Geographer Will Study Eskimos Frenchman To Visit Far North To Make Study of All Phases Of Their Life.

The Vicomte, who has finished seven y....rs of ethnological study in the tropics announced that he would fly north soon with Bishop Gabriel Br•eynat, Roman Catholic flying prelate, and establish head- quarters at Coppermine, N.W.T., 1,100 miles northeast of Edmonton. He said he did not expect to dis- cover anything now about the Eski- mo, but planned a more extensive study of the private Eskimo's social life than had been done before. He will take several thousand photo. graphs. Figures just published indicate there will be no blind children in England in 10 years.

The result is, that itoth GleniIg and F2remont Townships are ging to ap- ipeal to the Department of Game and Fisheries for trappers to catch the beavers that are working such havoc. The beavers have been in the town ships for the past two or three years. At one place on the town road they persisted in plugging up a tile until a span bridge was constructed and this in turn has been plugged up. There is )'lllpallly for the beavers, but the far- mers want them to stay in their place.

BRUCE FARMS INVAD- ED BY ARMY WORMS Many farmers in this southern sec- tion of Bruce County have reported over the week -end the invasion of their crops by the army worm. Doz- ens have reported already to Agricul- tural Representative George II. Patt- erson seeking advice on how to tattle this enemy to avoid heavy losses. In some cases thegreater Part of a ten -acre field has teen stripped, especially cats, although alt spring crops are said to be damaged to some extent. Some of the farmers are us- ing a spraying solution, which Is said to be effective, Tho story is report- ed by one farmer that ivattemptng to prevent the pests from getting into a section field after almost stripping the first a number of furrows_ were plowed around the field and so thick were thoworms that plowing was al- most impossible due to the greasy formation caused by the worms ad- hering to the plow.

HURON FIELDS ATTACKED THE BUSY FARMER Al UST BE T. B. TESTED The judgment of the majority of county councils in Ontario in support- ing the Live Stock Branch of the Ont- ario Department of Agriculture it its efforts to have every county in Ont• aria ,:Acle a T. 11. restricted area for cattle has proven sound in view of the recent action taken by the 1'nited States Department of Agriculture gov• erring cattle being shipped to that country. These regulations in substance state all Canadian cattle being exported to the 1'. S. A. other than those for im- mediate slap2titer, must have a quali- fied verterinari,ln's certificate s'how'ing they have been tested within 30 days of date of shipment and found free of bovine tuberculosis. This, however, does not aply to caste exported directly from an accredited area. it means that a veterinarian's certificate is not re- quired for cattle in the Ontario cotln• ties already tested and the owners will 0.e able to export freely. The reason given by American offi- cia.!s for their new law is that prat• Beatty all foiled States cattle arc tested and they w'is'h to maintain this status and keep T.B. out of their herds. This new ruling will probably re- quire the testing of at least 1^cl,O(JU Canadisn cattle annually sent to the U.S. for feeding h1ll1I mes. THE TOBACCO CROP \\'eather conditions during 1 h e month were very favourable for the establishment and early growth of the tobacco crop except for some wind da- mage on the lighter and poorly pro. •tested floc -cared field in the Norfolk area. Apl•roxinlately 5,01;0 acres of flue -cared tobacco were "own out by high w•ieft9 in tie Norfolk district and about 1 additional acres were da- maged to snipe extent. These blown - opt ess were practically all replant- ed I 1 the reset 1silacco started rath- er slowly due to dry roil at the time tis a result some of the fields in the Norfolk district appear rather patchy. The tobacco crop, as a whole, got a very good start and growth In the ma- jority of fields has been particularly rapid. A large proportion of the crop will be harvest early this year. Some flue -cured tobacco has nearly reached the topping stage and priming will commence about the middle o: July. While planted acreage of all types is somewhat lower than the nlloted acreage, the total acreage will she con- siderably greater than in 1937. No accurate figures are yet available on the actual acreage planted, but it is estimated at approximately 71,000 ac- res as compared with some 58,000 ac- res In 1937. ':anlage from insert sI and diseases in the crop is practically normal to .late. \\'Nile cut worm damage was below average this year, the Injury caused by wire -worms was slightly more than usual. Root -rot diseases have occured in .many fields but the loss to date is slightly less than in 1937. CURRENT CROP REPORT Crop conditions in Ontario at the fiat of July were average to above average, according to reports received from repesentatives it ail parts of the province Fall wheat has ripened rap- idly and harvesting has commenced in 111ai1y districts, with prospects fav - mold le for an above normal yield. In Kent and I.'tmbton counties, an aver- age yield of 28 to 3:9 ;ushels per acre is indicated. Last year the yield for Ontario was 21.5 bushels. Parley and early varieties of oats are now in and are reported as average to above average in condition, with the eNccpt.iol3 of several counties- i n_proved about three and, a half days earlier than Banner and yielded near- ly 85 per cent as much moat. In a brief comparison Laurel matured prac- tically with Banner, yielding 53 bush- els per acre as against 51 from Lib- erty. Both varieties of !lidless are prone to smut infestation and are easily Injured by formaldehyde, but careful treatment with copper carbonate or Mercuric dusts ensures a clean crop, llulless oats cross readily with or- dinary oats. It is important to take Pins to ensure purity and then it may the necessary to go hack from time to time for reselected foundation stock. Illness oats are rather tough to thresh and summer storage in bulk is sometimes a problem. heeding trials at 13eaverlodge years ago indicated that when llulless oats constituted a large percentage of the grain ration for pigs anti poultry there was a pronounced tendency to over- fatness, but this does Ilot apply to a few weeks use for the weanlings. The hulless oats may be creep•fed whole on a clean board floor or in a flat trough. Chief of French Catholic Scouts At English Training Course One of the meni',ers of an early summe:i training course for Scout- masters at Gilwell Park, England, this year was General J. Lafont, 61, Chief of the French Catholic Boy Scouts As- sociation, Like the youngest of the Sc`outers on the course, General La - font took his turn in preparing meals and washing dishes, slept under can- vas, took part in the Scouting games and hiked through Epping Forest. but is chiefly confined to poorly - sprayed or unsprayed orchards as yet Otherwise, insects and fungus pests have been well controlled by good spray practice. Prospects for fruit crops in Ontario at "resent are estimated as follows: Apples, slightly below average to av- erage; sweet cherries, almost average; sour cherries below average; Bartlett pears, below average: Keiffer pears, average; peaches, average; plums, be- low average; grapes, average, HULLESS OATS FOR WEANLING PIGS Young pigs have high efficiency for the conversion of nourishing food into weight increase tut low efficien- cy for the utilization of fibre. Except for this latter fact, ordinary oats would be a suitable gain, but the hulls dilute the food too much, and, unless very finely ground or else coarse enough to be:rejected during mastica tion, they irritate and clog the diges ttve tract. It is often advised to screen oat chop for weanling pigs but this is a laborious task frequently neg- lected. Unless mechanical means can be found to dehull ordinary oath, the simpler way is to grow a variety that threshes free of the hull. Years ago the late Sir (then Dr.) Chas. E. Saun- ders bred two such varieties. Liter- ty and Laurel, for the expres,; p111' pose of feeding, young pigs and chic kens and for making oatmeal por- ridge.

"I-Iighway accident tolls will bo sharply reduced when pedestrians learn to think of themselves as a dis- tinct group in the highway traffic st- ream," Hon, T. B. McQuesten, Ontario minister of highways, stated in an ap- peal issued todayasking for cooper- ation from all users of the streets and highways in the press campaign of ad- vertising now being carried on throughout the province, aimed at cutting down the toll of fatalities and injuries. "Pedestrians have remained strong- ly individualistic through all the years of rapid growth in vehicular traffic," he explained, "while motor- ists are increasingly conscious of them- selves as a class, Motorists have trained themselves, and aro being trained, to keep their minds on the job of driving, while they have a wheel in their hands. Too many ped- estrians have their minds anywhere except on the job of walking on the streets and highways in a manner that Will prevent an accident involving themselves and possibly other travel- lers on the highways.

The postman uses the cross waikc, is care- ful and accurate in his judgment of traffic movements and speeds, and he never tries to compete with pas- sing traffic. Pedestrians, as a group, figure largely in the total number of acct• dents, analysts of the Department of Highways' accident statistics reveals. The second most frequent type of accident involves pedestrians and re- sulted In Injuries to 3,617 pedestrians last year. "Not all tine blame for these acci- dents can be placed on the motorists' shoulders", Mr. McQuetett said, "be- cause more than 70 percent of pede- rtrian accidents occurred under nor - anal conditions—the view was not ob- structed—tinere was no confusion of Ira ffie." The causes of (lists° "pedestrian" accidents point their own lesson and cure, the minister concluded. In the order of their frequency these major accident causes immediately suggest the cl''e: 1.

TILIIE SIOlIlES OFCHEMISTRYIN EVERYDAY LIFE BY DR.H..LITTLER, "Rubber" Made from Limestone, Coal and Salt ONE of the most important materials supplied to us by nature is rubber, sometimes called "Black Gold" because of its com- mercial value. First brought to the attention of the civilized world by Columbus, who found the natives of Haiti playing w'th a rubber hall, this material is now used for lit- erally thousands of purposes and is the basis of an industry which docs a billion -dollar business an- nually. While hundreds of different trees, weeds and vines contain rubber, none equals in quality and quantity that obtained from the milky juice of the Hcvca tree, native to the equatorial jungles of Brazil. In spite of the fact t1.at the Hevca tree is now cultivated in various tropical countries other than Brazil, the market price of rubber sometimes reaches such a level as to disturb the rubber in- dustry — and the public as well. In addition, several important in- dustrial nations do not own any land suitable for the production of rubber. As a result of this situation, chemists throughout the world during the past fifty years have spent many millions of dollars try- ing to stake synthetic rubber, Al- .ihougl► chemists have not yet suc- eteded in the commercial manu- facture of a product identical with that obtained from the Hcvca tree, they have done better. Using four of nature's own raw materials, limestone, coal, salt and water, chemists arc now making a product known as neoprene which looks like rubber, acts like rubber, and can be used in the manufacture of practically all articles for which hi')ber is now used. The chemical story, briefly told, is as follows: Coal and limestone heated together in an electric fur- nace give calcium carbide, which, on tl c addition of water, gives acetylene gas. This part of the Fi story is familiar to some of the old- sters who used "carbide" head- lights on their bicycles and auto- mobiles some years ago. Acetylene plus a material known to the dem- ist as a catalyst gives another as known as monovinylacctylene. The latter, plus hydrochloric acid (made from salt), gives a liquid (t'boto, Canadian Industries Idmtted) Washing Man-made Neoprene called chloroprene, and the union or intermarriage of chloroprene molecules gives the new rubber- like neoprene. Although tough and clastic like rubber, neoprene is chemically dif- ferent, and bccau,e of this differ- ence it floes not fear rubber's age- old enemies—gasoline, oils, chemi- cals, oxygen, sunlight and heat. This man-made product is accord- ingly not a rubber substitute, but is used for a variety of purposes for which) rubber is not well suited, including the manufacture of gas- oline and fuel oil hose, printing rollers, electrical cables, and acid - resistant gloves. And although neo- prene costs more per pound than rubber, certain articles trade from neoprene are actually cheaper than corresponding rubber articles, because of their longer life tinder severe service conditions. Neo- prene also offers the assurance of an excellent substitute in the event of tite supply of natural rub- ber being curtailed or cut off en- tirely.

They are grateful, then, for the work that is being done by the Dominion Government to produce a grain that will stand up against a lack of moisture. The first Canadian experiments in search of such a wheat are being carried on at Swift Current, Saskatchewan. The scientists at work on the job haven't progressed very far yet, but they believe they are on the right track. Should they suc- ceed in finding a drought -resist- ant wheat, they will receive as much recognition as came to Sir Charles Saunders for discovering Marquis wheat. This famous grain overcame the menace of early frosts, but could not withstand the onslaughts of rust and drought. Now, rust -resistant wileat has sup- erseded Marquis on the prairies. Thus only one of the three ma- jor crop enemies remains to be overcome. Once this objective is achieved, the Canadian West should be unconquerable, * • * ESCAPING THE HEAT: Down here in Ontario we have plenty of reason. to complain of the heat these summer days.

Education of Indian women in household arts, with a view to promoting a higher standard of living among the tribes, has been undertaken by the Saskatchewan Department of Indian Affairs with the co-operation of women's clubs, states a recent despatch from Winnipeg. "The Indian woman has more influence over her husband than the white woman has over hers," claimed Dr. Thomas Robertson, Inspector of Indian Agencies in Saskatchewan, "In the past not enough attention has been paid them. Money has been spent on men for farming equipment and improvements, but the depart- ment now aims at a higher stand- ard of living through women's education. Eager to Learn "Requests of Indian women that meetings sponsored by the department be devoted to work shows the interest they are tak- ing in their work," Dr, Robertson said. "Indian women, young and old, are eager to learn." At the meetings they are be- ing instructed in sewing, knitting, Banning, cooking and other household arts.

Dozens of people have been killed and hundreds wounded. In the midst of this reign of terror British troops are attempt- ing to restore some kind of order. Soldiers are stationed in every village in the zone of violence, but bombings, stabbings keep on happening. For hundreds of years the Arabs and the Jews have been hostile to one another. They each want the Holy Land to them- selves for religious as well as economic reasons, The partition- ing of Palestine among . Jews, Arabs and British as recommended last summer by a British Com- mission has therefore not been found popular. In fact the pres- entation of the report was a sig- nal for the outbreak of new vio- lence. It is difficult to see where it is all going to end. • • • THE WEEK'S QUESTION: Who is frequently said to ,be the most unpopular diplomat in Eur- ope? Answer: Colonel Josef Beck, Poland's Foreign Minister, campaign without assistance from Canadians because of the Targe number of ducks hatched in this country. Ducks Unlimited "We believe we can multiply ducks to an almost unlimited extent and with your co•operatlon we are going to put forth our best efforts," Russenholt said. He cited the ex• perlence of the state of Maine which, through 40 years of game conservation, now has an annual revenue of $25,000,000 from fish and game. Gas Meters In Taxis The Japanese are getting anxi- ous about their war against China. They've just decided to ration their petrol supply. In fu- ture, motorists may purchase only one gallon of petrol a day—taxi- drivers may have seven, Taxi fares doubled when this rationing was announced. And as a result of these new "gas" restrictions, all taxi-cags will be fitted with meters, to pre- vent overcharging. Argentina's exports gained nearly 40 per cent. in value last year, Radium Mit Be Coaxed From Ore OTTAWA, — The method by which Canada's sub -Arctic deposits of life-saving radium aro ''coaxed" out of the pitch -blonde ore mined on the shore of Great Bear Lake near Lite Arctic Circle have been revealed for t"e first time. Marcel Podia'', chief chemist, of the Eldorado Gold Mines, Limited, and E. J. \Valli, mine engineer, des. cribed to the American Association for the Advancement of Science at its stormier meeting the methods used in mining, transporting and refining radium. It's Roasted First Radium might be called a "coy" element, the Eldorado company ape- clallsta declared, since it is very difficult to e tract from the other valuable minerals which occur In combination with it. In early refin- ing operations, silver was consid- ered a rluisance in efforts to pull VOICE THE WORLD AT LARGI3 the radium out of the pitchblende ore. Today, however, these and other difficulties have been largely over- come by new chentical methods em- ployed in a recently completed re• finery at Port 1-Iope, Ont„ and both r. the radium and silver can be ex- ._. 4.004.r�....4.:40.j J�..�rr�.r..y 04.4 ":•04+.44440:44404444044444414+0,114 trotted without waste. border, His rise from obscurity was swift. IIcnlein went from town to town in his capacity, of gym - nasties teacher, organizing unions of German-speaking athletes -- (Turnvereins) in opposition to the Czech -speaking "sokols." From 1925 on Henlein incorporated a great many of Hitler's ideas in the new organizations and mould- ed his men into veritable "storm troopers," In October of 1933 Henlein formed the Sudeten Deutsche Par - tel when the Czech Gov, dissolved the German Nazi and Nationalist parties. Two years later, his party met with tremendous success in the elections, formed the second largest bloc in the Czech parlia- ment, The Man Unmasked At that ,time, Henlein still pre- tended to support democracy but the mask began slipping. He made innumerable visits to Berlin, con- sulting with General Goering and other Nazi officials, In October, 1937, he openly asked for auton- omy for the German minority in Czechoslovakia. Secure in the knowledge that he i:t backed by Hitler, the once unknown gymnastics teacher has gone on from threat to threat. The 'two demands he now makes are: autonomy for the German minority in Czechoslovakia; a change in the foreign. policy of Czechoslovakia which would in- clude abandonment of its alliances with France and Soviet Russia. No Martyr, He In June, 1938, Henlein was charged with treason, but the ac- cusation was almost immediately withdrawn since the Czech govern- ment has no desire to make a martyr of him. The picture at the head of the column shows Henlein, medium- sized, short-sighted, athletic, leav- ing his hotel in London, England in May when he called on certain British diplomats seeking their sympathy and support.

Rural Viewpoint Wanted Modern transport, press and filar are creating in England what Earl Baldwin describes as a "standardlz• ed suburban mechanized mind." We already have too much of that here. Itural people accept all too placidly the urban viewpoint, and whole. some rural independence is becom• Ing inarticulate.—Farmer's Advo- cate, World-wide Soil Erosion Great Britain is making an inves- tigation of soil erosion in all parts of the world and w111;issue a guile• lin being prepared byf tine Imperial Bureau of Soil Science, and of Herb- age Ierbage Plants.

Bring It Into The Open Ontario and Quebec are the rich- est of the provinces. They have many natural advantages. As the West sees the rituation, they are also the chief beneficiaries of the national fiscal policy. Their pros- perity, as it looks to the rest of Canada, perfectly exemplifies the scriptural saying that "to him that hath shall be given." It was, to be expected that; of all the provinces, they would be tho least interested in a study of the federal system which might lead to changes, They are naturally for the 'status quo, The Prairie and Maritime Provin- ces are just as naturally reformist and, therefore, eager to present ar- guments and statistical statements tending to show a need for change. It has been suggested that the in- quiry has produced or encouraged sectional feeling In Canada. That is clearly not so. The cleavage ex- isted before the Rowell Commission was thought of. And the national interest Is obviously better served by an open debate on this differ- ence of opinion than by efforts to hush It up by singing "0 Canada!" —Winnipeg Free Press. The EMPIRE On Retiring Today If a roan enjoys his work, and he is physically and mentally equal to doing it efficiently, there are very good reasons why he should go on working. And these reasons are re-. Inforced in the case of men who are so single-minded that their work is also their hobby. But for the most part, and particularly today when the means of recreation and amuse- ment are so readily available in so many different forms, the average man, one imagines, would be happy to retire at GO if he were able to continue living in modest comfort. The old conception of the dignity of labor has been weakened by the in- troduction into offices and factories of machines that can do as much work lin a day as a man can do in three. Work has become in many ways less satisfying to the individ- ual than it used to be. Craftsman- ship has decayed, and one cannot expect a workman to take so much pride and pleasure in operating a machine that manufactures a sin- gle unit as his grandfather did in making the whole job himself by hand.—Glasgow Herald. KONRAD HENLEIN North America has its Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy; Europe at the present moment is being treated to a similar exhibi- tion of ventriloquism by two no less prominent figures than Adolf Hitler and Konrad Henlein. Hitler speaks but the words appear to coma from the mouth of Henlein, who as leader of the Sudeten Ger- man party in Czechoslovakia, is calling for union with Germany. Henlein is only 40 years old. Nevertheless he fought in the Aus- trian army (like Hitler•)' during the Great War, was wounded on the Trentino front, captured by the Italians and sent to a little island in the Mediterranean where he mastered the Czech language, -became an adept at gymnastics. After the peace treaties, lie 'found his native town was now part of the newly -created Czechoslovakia, and he himself, born of German stock, was one of the minority. Organized Athletic Unions Ilenlein worked as a bank clerk for a while, became dissatisfied and took up the teaching of gym- nastics at Asch, near the German Remarkable Dog Good Policeman Mongrel Stops Other Canines Chasing Autos Few dogs have the intelligence of Major, a mongrel owned by Bob- by HcConnell of Lanigan, Sask,, 76 miles east of Saskatoon. Adept at the usual begging, roll - Ing and shaking paw tricks, Major has also learned to prevent other dogs front running after automo- biles. Early iu his life Major was rep- rimanded .by Master Bobby for chasing cars and he learned his lesson- well. Now he acts as cou- stable to the other dogs by should- ering them from the road when au- tos pass, Warns of Fire On one occasion the dog spotted a fire.

In some cases discontent at their lot — poverty, hardship, the dole— has driven people to open protest against conditions.

"Yes, but they are gnomes," remarked Guph, knocking the ashes out of his pipe on the icing's chest, "Gnomes are Immortals, but they are not very strong on magic. ‘Viten you lost your magic belt, most of your magic power was taken. .Against Ozina you and your gnomes tv ,itl�l have no show at alt." The Ring's eyrs flashed angrily. "Then away you go to the slicing machine!" he cried. "Not yet," said the general, filling his pipe from the King's tobacco pouch. "What will you do?" asked the Monarch. "I propose to obtain the power we need," answered ()uph. "'!'here are many evil creatures wlio have sufficient power to con- quer and destroy the Land of Oz.

Huntsman, of "the Uni- versity of Toronto, says in the current issue of "Science" that fish out of water do not die of suffocation but of over-exertion. Chemical examination of the muscles of the fish in their normal • .; state and when exhausted after a struggle show that the fish after a struggle have used' all the glyco- gen, a sugarlike fuel substance, in their bodies and have changed it ' to lactic acid, which is like chemi- cal ashes • in the metabolic pro- cesses. • • . The lactic acid reduces the oxy- gen carrying capacity of the blood. This results, Dr. Huntsman said, in the asphyxiation of the cells of the nervous system, producing ir- reversible changes from which the fish cannot recover. Speech Formation Until recently there were two schools of thought concerning the problem of speech production; one held that the sounds cane from the vocal cords and are modified by the resonances of the cavities in the throat, nose and mouth; the other held that the • vocal curds supplied the puffs of air which were converted into speech sounds by the cavities. A step to- ward solving this problem has been taken at the. Bell Telephone'labor- atories, New York, where Dr, J. C. Steinberg and D. W. Farns- worth have photographed the vocal cords, t'sing a motion picture camera, taking 4,000 pictures a second, The pictures showed that although the vocal -cord 'tone' is dependent to some extent on the particular sound spoken, the prin- cipal characteristics of the sound are determined by the resonant action of the cavities of the throat and mouth. Teat For Cancer A diagnostic test for cancer, which uses Congo red dye as an indicator for the presence of a malignant tumor, is announced by two English scientists, Dr. C. Wetzier-Ligeti and Dr, B. P. Wiesner, in a preliminary com- munication to the editor of "Na- ture," An extract of the blood which has been freed of all pro- tein matter is injected into the person suspected of having a mal- ignant tumor and is later tested with the Congo red dye. Succes- sive tests tell whether the blood is being regenerated. A failure to regenerate blood is a common condition when malignant tumor are present. New Source of Insulin? Discovery of a new possible source of insulin, which would eliminate the discomfort of in- jections by the hypodermic needle, was announced at Montreal last Week with the publication of the current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal. • • An extract, made by boiling tho fresh or dried bark from the roots of the Devil's Club, a shrub that grows wild, ou , the British Columbia coast,,has given remark- able results in reducing the sugar ins the blood of a 'group of test rabbits. • Discove?.'y ,of the substance by the research workers, D1. R. G. Large, and Dr. H. N. Brocklesby, was made by chance. "Our atten- tion," the article in the Journal points out, "was brought to this material through the examination by one of us of a surgical patient who, on hospitalization, developed marked symptoms of, diabetes. "This 'person, it was learned, had kept in apparent good health for several years by oral doses of sin infusion of this root bark, and ,is in fact still leading a normal life with' the aid of this infusion," "Such a preparation has long been used by Pacific Coast In- (lians, though for what specific purpose is not clear." Decrease Tuberculosis Deaths A four hundred per cent, decrease in the number of deaths from tuberculosis among young children has been brought about recently by the use of tuberculosis vaccine, the American Association for the Advancement of Science WAS told at Ottawa early this month, This development of immunity to the "white plague" among children, the most susceptible group, has been achieved by the use of the bacillus ctllmette-guer- in vaccine, originally developed at ...Gardening. dotes... STARTING A ROCK GARDEN Before starting to build a rock garden, study the site to decide on a size and shape that will blend in- to the garden design. Place the stones 80 that two-thirds of each :one is beneath the soil surface to simulate conditions to which most of our rock garden plants are ac• custonled, Arrange the stones in a natural position—which precludes standing them on their ends. Let the sur- face incline toward the back so that the rain !water will drain into the soil and not run over' the forward end. Potted piants of perennials now in active growth ivay be ob• alined as planting material. CUTTING THE LAWN Cutting the lawn '-ort• often up. sets the balance between top growth lav' root system, In addi- tion, It exposes the crowns of the plants to the direct rays of the summer sun, Young tender blades are seriously affected. Much of the soil surface also is fully exposed to the sun, and welter evaporates from these 111'0118 at an alat'illing rate, The roller of the plower should be set as low as it will go so as to raise the cutting blades one and a half to two inches over the crowns. The first and second cuttings with the high blades perhaps leave a somewhat disappointing sight since the effect will be .quite different from the accustomed results. This condition urges many gardeners to. fall back upon shaving the lawn in the conventional style. But those who have the courage to go on will find the appearance of their lawn greatly improved by the third cut• thig, and when the fourth is cote• pleted they likely will be complete• ly converted. CANADA LILY The Canadian lily (Lilium cann- dense) also is known as meadow lily and wild yellow lily. It is more common than any outer other of our native lilies, ranging from New Brunswick and Ontario southward to Missouri, Georgia and Alabama. While it (toes well in the garden, Provided favorable growing condi- tions are present, plants found in the wilds usually are superior in stature and number of (lowers to the stem When in bloom they stand anywhere from two to five feet its height, carrying from one to ten flowers at the top of (he slen- der but strong flower spike. The inidvidua1 blooms are two or three inches in length, and when fully open are almost twice as wide. The bulbs may be planted in ei- ther autumn or spring. They resent lithe In the soli, sad should be' cov- ered about two inches deep. In their native haunts they take kind- ly to semi•shaded positions. They also appear in open mountainous meadows, where they never suffer from want of moisture. The bloom- ing season falls in Juste and July.

Baudouin of the University of Montreal declared, Touch Sense Studied The study of single layers of molecules, which at first appeared to be of purely academic interest, is likely to become of great im- portance • in . explaining obscure phenomena that have been puzzl- ing scientists for a long time. One of the problems is nerve conduc- tion. It has long been a mystery how, if we touch something, the knowledge of that contact is re- layed to the brain over the nerve fibres. Dr, Irving Langmuir, of the General Electric Research Labora- tories, New York, in an article in the current issue of "Science" describes the overturning of these layers and concludes that this phenomenon "may help explain the mechanismof the propagation of nerve impulses," ViE rod•--"".

Sick Man (letting out a roar) -- "Nothing doing! I won't stand for it! I won't stand for it! Ab- solutely not!"

Swiss Abolish Death Penalty Swiss Voters in a national ple- biscite last week adopted a new Federal penal code, aimed at unify - II the canton .1 codes, of which the country formerly had 25. The new code abolishes the death penalty and aims generally not to retaliate against but to improve the criminal. A judge's first considera- tion will not be the actual crime but the motive. Insane Cared For The code provides means to protect the continuity against ha- bitual Criminals such as drunkards, incorrigible wr,... ;doers and cases of incurable insanity by confining the victims in sanitariums or pt is- ons for in•'eflnite periods.
