Rivalry Imnroves
Farmers' Produce
Says Ontario iiinister of Agri-
culture—Animals and Pro-
duce Should Be Compared
With Those From Other Dis-
tricts
The only way to improve the qua-
lity of agricultural produce is to
"bring them in Contrast with the
articles grown in various districts,"
I -ion. P. 111. Dewar, minister of agri-
culture for Ontario, said in opening
the Belleville fair.
"The farmer, by comparing his
animals and produce with others,
will attempt to improve his breed
and grow better produce next
year," Mr, Dowan told the fair di-
rectors at the official banquet,
"There is a sincere effort on the
part of all fairs being held this
year to raise the standards above
last year, 'i'Ite Ontario government
is aiding all those fairs that aro
making a sincere effort to raise up
their standards. Exhibitions should
mane an attempt to succeed finan-
cially without the aid of racketeer
midways. The provincial police aro
now working to clear up all the
racketeers in these midways.
"Education of the farmers, es•
pecially young men and women, is
the only way by which agriculture
will improve, The young people
must be educated to combat the
large firms and organizations that
are buying up all the produce of
the farm at low prices. If this con-
tinues the farmer will not be able
to make a dccent living."
Have Expensive Tastes
Strange grasshopper stories are
being told in Saskatchewan these
days. This was a worn, but per-
fect $1 bill, when Buster Truker
happened to drop it from his pock-
et while stooking wheat on his
farm near Craik. He discovered
the loss four hours later, hunted
until he found the spot he drop-
ped it. The bill was covered with
grasshoppers when Buster picked
it up. They had eaten big pieces
out as can he seen. A 'hopper is
seen in the palm of one hand.
Sharp Increase In
Freight on Lakes
Bigger Western Crops To Boost
Activity of Shippers
SAItNIA.—A sharp increase in
the number of lake vessels in oper-
ation was reported in Marine cir-
cles here, with the added expecta-
tion that fall movement of vessels
will at least be on a par with last
year. A number of extra freighters
are being placed In the grain -carry-
ing trade in view of the bigger
Western crops which are being
moved to the Head of the Lakes.
Tree Line Navigation Company
officials said several of their ships
will shift from the package freight
to the grain business. Three freight-
ers which have been tied up here
for some weeks expect to get mov
ing orders.
A great improvement in steel
and iron ore shipping has also been
noticed in the last few weeks. This
increase is mainly due to the pick-
up in the automobile trade, it is
stated.
Work Of Artist
Even Fools Rats
Royal Steadman, who for 23
years has made models and pic-
tures for the United States De-
partment of Agriculture files and
bulletins, said last week that one
of his paintings was so lifelike it
fooled even the rats. "I finished
a painting of an apple, cut in half
and showing seeds exposed,"
Steadman said. "I put it on a
window sill to dry. The next
morning I found it on the floor
with tracks of rats over it and the
painted seeds eaten off."
Noel Coward is trying to pro-
vide better movie shows aboard
ship for the British Navy.
Both part of the Canadian National Exhibition spectacle, the milling
crowd of pleasure -seekers along the fair's midway at Exhibition City of
Toronto, and the prize Hereford bull, present a striking contrast. His
Highness (at the right) got quite a bit of attention from agriculturally -
minded visitors himself; at the moment he seems to be surveying the
crowds, amusing themselves in other ways, rather grimly.
Discover Mound
Near Wingham
Find Interests Historians—May
Be Work of Prehistoric
' Mound Builders
What is expected to be an im-
portant find, from the standpoint of
historical Interest, in west Wawa -
nosh Township, Iluton County,
near Wingham, will in all likeli-
hood be brought to the attention of
proper authorities for an Investiga-
tion. The find is a large mound of
earth believed to be the work of
the Mound Builders,
Located near the site of an old
Indian camp, near the famous Mud
Lake, the mound, although in a
swamp, is made of clay. This also
strengthens the belief that the clay
has been carried for some distance
to build the mound. It is almost
seventy yards around the mound,
which rises in the centre to a
height of fourteen or fifteen feet.
On top of the mound there are two
stumps of trees, which by their ap-
pearance have been cut for at least
500 years. In size they. are larger
than any known in the country.
Farmers in the neighborhood of-
ten speak of finding Indian relics
in plowing, and older residents do
state that in the days of the early
settlement the farm on which the
mound is located and now owned
by Albert E. Johnson, was the loca-
tion of an Indian camp.
Ship Leaves Men
On Arctic Ice
CHURCILILL, Man., The motor
ship Therese reported last week
she was just south of the Arctic
Circle in Foxe Chanel.
The ice that had held the ship
captive for several days had open-
ed up somewhat and presence of
open water around the Therese was
allowing its crew to get some rest
after many anxious watches.
Overcast skies and intermittent
showers kept Father Paul Schulte,
the flying priest, from making any
further aprveys of ice conditions
from the air.*He had been attempt-
ing to find a clear path through the
ice for the Therese.
Experienced In Arctic Life
Patrick Baird and Reynald Bray,
Arctic explorers travelling on the
Therese, were landed on an island
oft Cape Wilson as the ship drifted
past the point. When the Therese
is able to break through for a
scheduled stop at Igloolik, N. W. T.,
it was thought probable the men
would be picked up again there.
No concern was felt for then( in
the event the Therese was unable
to reach Igloolik. It was explained
the men were experienced in the
Arctic lite and "well able to look
after themselves."
Farmers of Bruce
Form "Junk Pool"
Organized, They Get Profitable
Return for Selves Instead_
OfPeddlers
Something new by way of a
"wrinkle" was disclosed in Wing -
ham, as five Bruce county farmers
received word of their "junk pool."
The purpose of the co-operative or-
ganization was to make as much
money as possible from the scrap
iron and junk which accumulates
around a farm. For the past few
months they have been gathering
up the crap iron and other metal
waste on their farms.
Shipped Scrap to the City
When they had a truckload, they
shipped it to T r'onto on a hired
truck, Batteries, scrap iron, parts
of an old.steam engine, implements
and even feathers were all bundled
up and shipped: Returns saw each
of them getting over $10 after the
trucking costs were paid.
Reluctant to allow names to be
used, in such a way as to be named
as organizer's of "junk pools," they
did say, "we are sick and tired of
junk dealers coming along and of-
fering 25 and 50 cents for a whole
pile of crap iron. We used to take
it and be glad to get the stuff off
the farm. Now we are determined
that if they can make money, at it,
so can we."
Classroom Fodder
Supply Decreasing
Educator Declares That Liberal
Arts Colleges Everywhere
Are Facing a Crisis
Liberal -arts colleges everywhere
are facing a crisis, Dr. George B.
Cutten, president of Colgate Uni-
versity, Hamilton, N.Y., said at a
convocation held in connection with
Acadia University's centennial ce-
lebration, Wolfville, N.S.
Causes of the crisis wore an in-
adequate supply of "classroom fod-
der," due In part to a sharply de -
dining birth rate, the growingpop-
ularity of junior colleges and a fall-
ing off of personal contributions

King, a few months ago it became
a gulf, now it is a chasm, — St.

GOOD BATTING AVERAGE
-Police record in the town of
Leamington for the past month
shows 25 prosecutions and 25 con-

leagues they do not bat that way.

Now the thing has been started,

THE AGRICULTURAL REPRE-
SENTATIVE
Premier Hepburn has been pay-
ing public tribute to the assistance
he, as a farmer, has received from
the district agricultural represen-
tative stationed at St. Thomas.
These officials do render a fine
type of service to agriculture and

does not always receive the recog-,
nition which is its due,—Brock-

PATHS ON HIGHWAYS
A great deal of highway build-
ing has been and is being done,
but not much provision has been
made for pedestrians or cyclists.
In other countries, when highways
are built, so also are footpaths for
the pedestrians and in some lands,
lane) also are made for the use of
cyclists. Probably if that were
done here, it would reduce high-
way accidents and restore the

not,—Niagara Falls Review.
YOUNG PEOPLE OUT OF WORK
An Ottawa despatch announces
that 240,000 young men in the
cities and towns of Canada still
are searching for something to do.
Of these 70,000 between the ages
of 16 and 29 have never had
jobs, and it is claimed that one-
third of them are on relief. It is
specified that this estimates does
not include rural youth, who "have
been unable to strike out for
themselves, and have been com-
pelled to stay on the home farm."
But isn't that one of the chief
aims of providing work; getting
young people on the land, even
if there be little remuneration?
Better have farm boys familiar
with the work helping in agricul-
ture than sending to the farmers
help that knows nothing of what
has to be done. These days it is a
fortunate youth who has a home
farm on which to work and be as-
sured of a reasonably good living.

FARMING'S NO CHILD'S PLAY
It would come as a shock to
unthinking city dwellers to know
what a variety of knowledge a
successful farmer must include in
his equipment before he can so
much as begin to farm. He must
be a chemist, a carpenter, a wea-
ther prophet, a farrier, a water
diviner, a blacksmith, a doctor, a
wheelwright, a bookkeeper, a vet -

Says Horses Will
Never be Replaced
Leamington 'Harnessmaker Un-
disturbed by Advent
Of Motors
The automobile, symbol of pro-
gress, will never displace the horse
entirely, Herbert Freeland, 75 -year-
old harnessmaker of Leamington,
Ont., maintains,
Since he was nine years old, Mr.
Freeland has made harness or
farmed. For well over halt a cen-
tury the Leamington matt has seen
horses engaged in farm and other
work. He has watched the increas-
ing use of automobiles and tract-
ors. Still he believes confidently

that there will always. be harness
shops. Moreover, he holds, "The
harness business is a better bust -
'toss today than it was 50 years ago
by 25 per cent."
Increase In Past 3 Years
"'I remember the panic after the
Civil War in the United States. For
years after there were harnessmak-
ers in every town making a har-
ness, for which we'd get $75 today.
Their, we got about $32," he said.
As proof of his contention that
horses are holding their own
against the inroads of automobiles,
atd are oven coming back Into
their former popularity the Leam-
ington harnessmakor cited figures.
In the Leamington district, he
said, 1,500 horses had been bought
during the past three years, These
were purchased in addition to the
animals already engaged by farm-
ers.
few years ago everybody had
a tractor. Today it's cheaper for
horses; at least that's what they
tell me," he added,
Nearly 250,000 "velomoteur's,"
or baby cars, have been sold in
Gertnany in the last five years.

1. Q. 'Will you please advise me
if lime would take the place of ter•.
tilizer (second place) when prepar-
ing the spring soil for seeding, and
also on the corn soil, and would it
benefit the -hay and pastures? f do
not Leel that 1 can afford to buy
commercial fertilizer, and I have
heard lime 1s a good substitute, and
much cheaper, I have been told my
land needs lime." — W. C, M. of
bincolmn Co.
A. Regarding the use of lime 1
would say definitely that lime will
not take the place of fertilizers,
any more than a horse will ,take
the place of a dairy cow. Lime 1s
used to sweeten the soli; fertiliz-
ers carry plant constituents such
as Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid, and
Potash, none of which are carried
by • lime.
If your soil needs line to correct
its acidity, lime to what you must
add because fertilizer will not cor-
rect soil acidity.
What you had better do is to
send a sample of your soil to the
Department of Chemistry, and let
us test it and advise you what
treatment the soli requires. In
sending the sample, I would sug•
gest that you send about a cupful
in a small cotton bag.
2. Q. "Last Fall 1 sowed some
Fall Wheat along with fertilizer.
The Wheat was treated and stood
too long, and it did not come up.
Will the fertilizer be of any value
to any other grain that I will sow
this Spring on the same land? Or
would 1t be advisable to sow the
Spring Wheat on the same land?
Is there more than ono kind of
• Spring Wheat, and if so, which
kind is the best, H. J. of Halton
Co.
A, There is no reason why Spring
Wheat, or any other Spring grain
sown on your Fall Wheat field'
should not benefit from the fertili•
zer that was applied to your Fall
Wheat where the Wheat did not
come up. 1 would suggest that in
sowing the spring grain you fol•
low the same direction as when the
FaJI Wheat 'was sown. It is general-
ly found that fertilizer drilled in
with grain gives hatter results than
the same fertilizer broadcast. This
is because it is concentrated. near
the roots of the young growing
crop. Hence, tw you ch'Ill along the
same drill rows as followed when
Fall Wheat was sown, in all prob•
ability you will strike the same
drill rows in a great many instanc-
es, whereas, if you cross the rown,
the benefit will occur simply on
the four corners where the drill
rows Ci'OSs.

CAPE TOWN,—Suddenly going
blind while on his beat, a city po-
liceman named Barnard was found
by another officer groping his way
along trying to find police head-
quarters.
Removed to hospital, the sug-
gestion was made the case was
one of "eclipse blindness" caused
by watching the eclipse of the sun
the day before without sufficient
protection for the eyes. Blindness
thus caused has often resulted in
permanent loss of sight.
Fortunately, niter four days'
treatment, Barnard found that he
could see, though imperfectly.
Blindness returned at intervals of
a few hour's, accompanied by vio-
lent pains in the head; but after
a day or two Barnard found his
sight completely restored and
there are hopes now that he has
been permanently cured.

'Coleman Lantern
Defies Hurricane
Hurricane winds exceeding 100
miles per hoar cannot extinguish
the light of a Coleman Pressure
Mantle Lantern, according to tests
conducted recently by engineers of
the Cessna Aircraft Company of
Wichita, Kansas.
A standard Coleman Gasoline
Lantern, Model No, 242.11, was
placed in a wind-tunnel—a device
designed to create winds of any
desired velocity for use in the test-
ing of airplane parts and construc-
tion, . The lantern then was sub-
jected to a gale of 105 miles per
hour. Mr, Tom Salter, the aircraft
engineer in charge of the test, gave
the Coleman Lamp and Stove Co,
an affidavit stating that the Cole-
man Lantern would give depend-
able lighting service under this
terrific wind velocity.
The extreme power of a hundred-
milep-hour wind can be better ap-
preciated when it is remembered
that a genuine hurricane, as offi-
cially defined by the Weather Bu-
reau, is a wind "exceeding 75 miles
per hour."
Newspaper readers will recall the
,many hurricanes which have bat-
tered the state of Florida. In 1936
a hurricane which struck Florida
literally demolished almost every
structure within its thirty -mile
path. More recently, on Sept. 1
of this year, newspaper reports de-
scribed a violent typhoon which
battered Tokyo, Japan, According
to reports, the typhoon ''left in its
wake vast destruction across East-
ern Japan." Hundreds of people
were injured and many were kill-
ed. Railroad and communication
services were paralyzed. And the
wind, said by the weather bureau
to be the worst in 30 years, was
blowing 75 miles per hour—or 80
miles per hour less than the wind
resisted by this,gasoline lantern.
Coleman engineers explain that
the Coleman Lantern's ability to
withstand high winds is due to the
manner in which the beat resisting
glass globe 1s designed to deflect
moving air away from the lighted
mantels. Openings which admit air
for combustion are sized and placed
in such a manner as to prevent di-
rect blasts of air from striking the
point of illumination. This same
globe protects the Coleman Lantern
from insects and from rain, making
it the greatest outdoor light.

What may turn out to be one of

1n Canadian history, made July 22

Fred W, Thompson, veteran pros•
pector of Iiaileybury,
Winston Norman, writing in the

and got the story from Thompson,

gold in seams and nuggets on
quartz veins in the hitherto de.
splsed "hot" sediments.
Future Is Assured
Thompson, who cane to the Yel-

eer, expressed this opinion during
a visit to the scene: "The future of
the Yellowknife area is assured.
This is a great day for Northwest
Territories and all Canada, It Is
the most significant turn that the
whole Yellowknife rush has taken,
it means that there is a fertile
field for prospecting•in all the me•
tasediment belts which were hith-
erto shunned."
Gleam of Free Gold
Thompson made his original dis-
covery from an airplane while fly-
ing
ying over a desolate and weirdly
folded area of rock, "I first saw
veins from the nir about six weeks
ago," he told me, "and had been
trying to get over here ever since.
Miller brought Lundmark and me
and put us down on this lake. We
made a traverse, and two hours
after we landed we found free gold
a quarter ntile from the lake, in
one of three parallel veins each
about five feet wide.
A Discovery A Day
"We started staking tight away.
In the course of staking we ran on-
to .a number of other veins which
panned. Since that time we have
been averaging a discovery a day,
either high-grade gold or rock
which pans."
Most important of all the veins
uncovered by the Ontario prospec-
tor 1e: "Treasure Island." On this
little patch of rock and muskeg,
surrounded by waters of the name-
less lake, I saw a quartz vein ex.
posed for 60 teet with 35 foot width.
I'saw free gold gleaming under two
feet of water where lake slime had
been scrubbed away, and handfuls
of uncrushed muck which leaves a
heavy tail in the pan, mixed with
coarse gold."
while based on 1936 figures, the
latest available, show a definite
improvement trend.
Gross production value was
$331,601,000 in 1929 and slipped
to a low of $164,889,000 in 1933.
In 1935 it climbed to $219,493,-
000 and the next year pushed
ahead to $247,707,000. Salaries
and wages were knocked down
during the depression from $54,-
915,000 in 1929 to a low of $33,-
109,000 in 1933. Recovery was
obvious in 1936 when they totaled
$42,832,000.
While no definite conclusions
could be arrived at concerning the
present state of manufacturing in
the West because the 1937 and
1938 figures are not available, it
was assumed that manufacturing
was continuing to forge ahead.
Meat Packing Leads
Slaughtering and meat packing
was listed as the leading manu-
facturing industry with gross pro-
duction value in 1936 of $52,-
519,000, Flour milling was next
with value of $36,715,000 and
butter and cheese third with value
of $23,219,000, Other industries
with values were: Petroleum pro-
ducts, $15,526,000; railway roll-

Green, Brown,
Blue For Men
This Autumn And Winter You
Will See Fresh Tones in
All of Them; Shirts
To Blend
What will be the fashionable
colors for men's suits this autumn
and winter? And what will be the
correct accessories to accompany
them? The British Color Council
has answered these questions.
Blue, brown and green are sug-
gested for suits. Two new blues
are introduced, a dark shade re-
flecting the blue-green of the sea;
college blue, a darker but warmer
tint. Blue-green is indicated for
the lining of both,
Brown also has two fresh col-
ors: a warm, deep shade named
Barbadoes; a darker tone describ-
ed as Indies brown. A lining
matching the former, suits both
cloths, The council further spon-
sors regent green, a deep shade
with lining in accord.
Selecting the Right Tie
Which are the most attractive
shirts to go with these suits? For
the blue group, apart from white,
there are three shades of blue and
a gray that matches the sea gull's
feathers. To accompany brown
kits, we have cream, ivory, parch-
ment, and pine -frost, the last a
light green. Green outfits require
shirts in gradations of that color,
medium gray with a touch of
green, silver-grey, •
Men are keen on ties and the
council gives guidance to becom-
ing selections. For blue suits,
chocolate, Oxford blue, peony red
and purple, navy find favor. Cham-
pagne, cream, maroon and peat
brown represent suitable ties for
brown kit. While silver grey, bot-
tle green, Cambridge blue and
gold pass the test with green
clothes. This should help those
who give ties as presents,

What Science
* Is Doing
TWO NEW SATELLITES
The Carnegie Institution of
Washington has announced that
two new satellites of the planet
Jupiter have been discovered by
its Mt. Wilson Observatory in Cal-
ifornia,
Jupiter, largest of the planets,
was the first heavenly body to be
studied with a telescope, Galileo,
with the first crude instrument, a
wooden tube fitted with lenses and
only about two feet long, discover-
ed four satellites of the planet in
1810, Subsequently five others
were found. The satellites announc-
ed today have been designed as
"Numbers 10 and 11."
"MIDGET SUN" PERFECTED
Perfection of "midget sun" in the
form of a tiny mercury lamp that
produces from a thread of metallic
vapor no larger than a toothpick
light twelve times as brilliant as
the ordinary 1,000 -watt incandes-
cent filament lamp and gives three
times the amount of light for the
same current consumed, was an-
nounced simultaneously by the
General Electric Company and
the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company, The mer-
cury vapor attains a brilliance of
about one-fifth of that of the sun's
surface.
The new lamp is expected to re•
volutionize lighting practice in a
number of fields.
SOUND AFFECTS VISION
Sound improves the visibility of
some colors and interferes with the
seeing of other's. Results of an in-
vestigation on a single color were
reported by P. A. Yakolev, of the
Helmholtz Institute, of Ophthalmol-
ogy in Moscow, in 1935, A report of
a more extensive series of experi-
ments is communicated by him in
"The Journal of the Optical Society
of America."
There are important implications
In these experiments, not only phy-
siolbglcal, but psychological as
well. Interdependent relationships
between taste and smell are well
known, These Russian experiments
indicate that there are similar re-
lationships between hearing and
seeing. According to thein a picture
seen in silence will have its color
values changed when viewed to the
accompaniment of sufficient noise.

..GROWING PULLETS ON RANGE..
The most satisfactory place to rear
pullets is on range land, preferably
at some distance from the main pout-
try plant. Grass or clover sod makes
excellent range for chickens, but if
these are not available, an effort
should be made to provide green feed
by sowing annual crops such as oats.
Chickens reared under good range
conditions are usually more vigorous
and more profitable layers than those
roared under crowded conditions
whcra the yards are bare most of the
summer.
At the Dominion Experimental Sta.
tion, Fredericton, N. B., chicks are
placed in portable brooder houses di-
rect from the incubator. The chicks
are given a yard as soon as weather
permits in the apring, after the hous-
es have been moved to ground which
was seeded with clover the previous
year. When the chicks are about ten
weeka of a;e, the pullets are given a
large grass or clover range and remain
there until they show signs of coming
into reduction, when they are placed
in laying houses.
Range shelters provide ideal accom•
modation for pullets or cockerels dur-
ing the summers. A shelter measur-
ing 8x10 feet with an eighteen inch
post, contrructed of 2x3 inch material
and fitted with seven roosts will hold
about 100 pullets. The sides and ends
of the shelter should be covered with
.one inch mesh chicken wire to give
protection from animals at night.
Range shelters, feed hoppers, drinking
troughs, etc., should be moved se
verat
times during the summer to prevent
excessive contamination around them.
It is also a wise precaution against
the spread of disease to set the feed
hoppers and drinking troughs on wire
screen raised a few inches off the
ground.

Botanical Notes For October

The supreme beauty of the country

quately described but it can be seen

GODERICH, Sept. 11—Bright and
Cheery on her 98th birthday, Mrs, Jane
X:ynn, this town's oldest citizen, per-
sonally received scores of visitors at
her home this afternoon. Many mes-
Sages of congratulations came too, one
from Prime Minister King, which she
prizes very much.
"Yes, I'd go up in an airplane if they
brought ono to my door," said Mrs.
Lynn, adding she had expressed a de-
sire to go up while visiting in Detroit,
"but my children talked me out of it."
Mrs. Lynn was born in Caledonia, in
Brant County, daughter of John and 1
Jane McGuire Irwin.
One year before bier marriage she
came to the Township of Morris at the
ago of 18. The land was solid 'bush
from Morris to Goderich. She mar-
ried Patrick Lynn and went to live on
his farm in Morris. "I lived In a
shanty in the wilderness,.but in four
years my husband bought a fine
house for me to which priests and
.ibishops came. I liked to set a good
table and to keep things 'just so'.
I raised sixteen children, eight sons,
five daughters and three step -children,
and I am proud of it. My only regret
was leaving the tarm in Morris to
come to 'Goderich. I have lived here
for 58 years.

so great as it otherwise would have

White grubs in some localities in

atilt that little further damage is likely

CHAPTER XXIII
Joan was dead, but things did not
end there, I -Ie must rouse Dick
Charlton, who was obviously the
person to handle this, A knock on
his door brought Dick out, his book
still in his hand.
"Cone quick, Charlton, said
Macduff, "Joan Foster is dead. She
jumped into the pool. It was drain-
ed, for landing tomorrow."
For once in his life, words tumbl-
ed from Macduff's lips without de-
liberation. His eyes were bloodshot
behind the impersonal glare of his
spectacles, Dick went white and
caught at his arts. Without a word
he followed Macduff across the cor•
rider and passed from brilliant
light into the darkness of the pool.
Briefly he hung over the edge, then
covered his face with his hand,
Macduff stretched out an arts and
gripped hila round the shoulders.
"It's all right, old ratan," he said,
realizing that the girl had meant
something in Charlton's life. "It
would have been hell for her, had
she lived."
"She came to my room tonight. I
shut the door in her face." The
words were squeezed through the
closed teeth of Dick. He pulled him-
self together. He was the chief of-
ficer. "I must report at once to Cap -
thin Baring," he said, automatical-
ly.
Once more Dick looked at Joan,
whose pale boody was moving very
softly with the rise and fall of the
boat. Her rhinestones shone like a
cats' eyes through the green gloom,

' by Ishbel Ross
A dark trickle spread over the tiles,
Macduff went down to Ills cabin,
which was as austere as when he
had sailed. He had spurned the
spears of Borneo, the leopard skins
of Darjeeling, the mandarin robes
of China, and was landing empty
handed. He turned on the lights, to •
shake off the feeling that he had
been staring for hours into a dark-
ened cave. The sea rolled smoothly
under/the porthole, but the night
was black and moonless. With an
effort he forced the dead girl out
of his thoughts. In a few hours now
he would be back in Gramercy Park
and Angela would be on her way to
England as he was reaching home.
Would her heart stand the strain
of her meeting with Wynant? And
would the cad consider her health
in his anxiety to shake her off, now
that he had met a seventeen -year-
old whom he wanted to marry?
Strange, strange, strange, thought
Macduff for the hundredth time,
that a woman like Angela should
love a man like Wynant! And Jen-
ny wild about Rumford, and wild
enough to have squeezed herself
out through the porthole for love
of Itim. Macduff got up and examin-
ed the brass ring. How in hell had
she managed to do it? That was
something he never would be able
to understand. IIe'd see how far
he could push himself through, and
what the water was like from a
porthole at night. Catching the rim,
he pulled himself up by his arms,
His head went out, and he saw the
water below, smooth as black
marble, but he could get no farther.
His shoulders balked him at once.
"Thin as she was," he thought, "I
still don't see how she did it, ik►e
Must hate had nerve, and also the
strength of desperation."
With a sharp recoil he thotight of
Joan again, and wondered if her
body were still being rocked on the
'tilelpf'He began to undress, hanging
his tie on the rack, folding his
trousers carefully, putting his coat
on a hanger. Every move took tithe.
At last he donned his striped pyja-
mas and pulled down the covers of
his brass bed. Climbing between
the sheets, he lay on his side, think-
ing and smoking. Tomorrow they
would land. Damned nuisance, cus-
toms and all that bother! Angela
wouldn't be there, but on her way
to England. How strangely Joan's
beads had flashe' in the green
light! The only thing about her
that had seemed alive. Macduff
reached out for his bottle, and then
poured himself a wee doch•an-dor•
rack, He downed it straight and put
out the lights, but his pipe still
glowed in the dark. Angela was an
exceptional woman. She made hint
feel at times that life was superb,
and that he could write much bet-
ter if she were always near him.
Without any talk, she inspired a
ratan to effort. The glow of his pipe
grew feebler. At last he banged it
out on the washstand, sighed and
settled himself for sleep. 1I., could
hear a grinding below that crunch-
ing sound of the anchor chain he
had heard so often lately, and al-
ways for new ports, new scenes,
new faces. The engines were in re-
verse; the boat was swinging right
around. They must be at ()mirth -
tine! That meant home. They
would Ile there for the rest of the
night. Macduff rolled over to the
wall. The throbbing ceased at last,
and stillness descended on the ship
broken by the laughter and cries of
the last night revellers. Their
voices, drowned before by the
pounding sound of the boat in nut -
tion, were strangcrly strident now.
The flying steps of excited girls
could be heard along the corridors,
Everything seemed extraordinarily
clear, now that the ship had anch-
ored. Macduff felt as if he had just
emerged from the Cave of the
Winds. At last he fell asleep.
Angela's name was on his lips
when he wakened five hours later,
looking as hard as a rock, sober
and fresh. His first thought was,
''I'11 soon be saying goodbye." Then
he remembered Joan, with a catch
of his breath. Ghastly! IIe was sor-
ry for Charlton. When his steward
came with his coffee, he cursed him
because it was cold. Dressing him-
self with care, he selected a dark
green tie that Angela had helped
him to buy in Manila. He walked
along the corridor and out on deck,
to find that they were moving slow•
ley`pthemelO./i lig We of the
early morning. }e shore and the
w
water seemed deadly dull after the
sharp contrasts of the tropics. And
there was nothing to the neutral
landscape to excite the eye, until
the skyscrapers came Into view.
The passengers did not look like
themselves this morning, for they
were all togged out in their city
clothes. The celebrants of the night
before were slowly coming to life,
feeling sick and depressed. Couples -
who would -soon be parted hung to-
gether at the rail, watching the en•
croacliing shore line with dismay.
One youth was fumblingly trying to
say good-bye to a girl whom he note,
adored, Soon he would be meeting
his bride of a year, and their baby,
born a month ago, His hand was
plucking nervously at his compane
ion's coat. Their glances were tel-
ling their story, but nobody cared,
Angela was there — cool, composed
in a black tailored costume and a.
small black hat, with a fur around
her shoulders. Her face was drain-
ed of colour. As usual, she had
dreamed through the night of Jen-.
ny's face and her thin, pale hands
clutching at that water. It dawned
on Macduff that none of them kne}i
about Joan, not even Angela. He
moved over towards her, .

Pleasant Voice
Radiates Charm
How You Say It Is Most Impor-
tant—Reading Aloud Good
Practice
It's a mistake for any girl to
work hard to improve her figure,
hair, skin and her taste in clothes
but ignore completely the fact that
she has an improperly placed, un-
pleasant voice, Because, no mat-
ter how attractive she is, unless
her voice has a fairly soothing ef•
fect on others, they just aren't go•
ing to listen to her—not for long,
anyway.
Unless the cells In the lower
part of the lungs are made to do
their work, the voice will lack
quality of tone.
Proper Breathing Necessary
Therefore, one good way to begin
a voice -improvement campaign is
to do a breathing exercise regular-
ly until you breathe correctly all of
the time without thinking about it.
Simply press your palms against
your sides just above your waist.
line. Now take a breath so deep
that hands are forced wider apart.
In other words try to expand your
chest at the sides instead of in
front. Exhale vigorously, pressing
hands into your body as the air
leases your lungs.
Do practice speaking slowly and
enunciating correctly. -
Just read aloud for 15 minutes
every day. Go to your roost, close
the door, then read. Listen to
yourself and try to decide whether
you have a habit of raising your
voice at the end of every sentence
or just what you do that probably
annoys others.

Canada's First
Woman Pilot
Mrs. Daphne Shelfoon of Ham-
ilton, Ontario, Passes Ati
Tests of Civil Aviation
Mr's. Daphne Shelfoon, member
of the Hamilton Aero Club, is be-
lieved to be the first woman in
Canada to qualify for a public
transport airplane pilot's certifi-
cate. It was announced she had
passed successfully all tests of the
department of civil aviation and
that she shortly would receive her
certificate.
Possession of the certificate
will entitle MI's. $helfoon to pilot
passenger planes, but she said she
does, not expect to take over the
controls of an ,air liner, Her, hus-
band is one of 73 Canadians hold-
ing a transport pilot's license and
the couple is believed to be the
first in Canada to receive such a
certificate.
Native of New Brunswick, Mrs.
Shelfoon went, to Hamilton a few
months ago. To - qualify for the
license she had to fly "blind"
over a cross-country course, with
only instruments to guide her,
Last July 1 Mrs. Shelfoon escaped
death when a plane in which she
was riding was struck in mid-air
by a plane piloted by Homer
Chapple, killed in the accident.

a Chocolate :Cake Is Tops
By KATHARINE BAKER
Of all the things that chocolate
glorifies with its rich, luscious
flavour, chocolate cake is the one
that reigns supreme. And an ideal
chocolate cake cannot be made by
simply adding chocolate to your
favourite cake recipe. Chocolate
contains a considerable amount of
starch as well as cocoa butter and
it cannot be added successfully to
a plain cake recipe without chang-
ing the amounts of some of the
other ingredients. Cocoa should
never be substituted in any recipe
which calls for chocolate because
chocolate. is so much richer in
cocoa butter than cocoa, it makes
a richer, more tender cake and
one which remains moist longer.
For the best results, the ingred-
ients specified In each recipe
should be used.

LESSON XII
JONATHAN, COURAGEOUS ETA
Jonathan, Courageous Friendship,
1 Samuel 14; 1-46; 18;1.4; 19:1-7;
20:1-42; 23:15.18; 2 Samuel 1;17.27
• Printed Text, 1 Samuel 20:4-17
Golden Text — "A friend Ioveth at
all times" — Proverbs 17:17.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time — The major part of Jona-
than's life_ falls in the latter part
of his father's life,' which can be
said to be somewhere between the
years,1100 B,C, and 1056 B.C.
Place — Michinash is a deep ra-
vine running from the highlands
of Benjamin- down to Jericho; Gib-
eali is, probably, 'a conspicuous hill
six miles n theast of Jerusalem
now known as Jelin.
The Jonathan of our lesson is the
eldest son of Saul, Israel's first
king, and is, therefore, a member
of the tribe of Benjamin, I -le was
regarded in his father's lifetime
• as heir to the throne, • Like Saul,
he was a man of great strength
and activity.
"Of all: the stories in the Old
Testament, there is none -which
appeals so quickly to one's sympa-
thles as that of ,Jonathan.
Moro than twenty years have
elapsed since the victory over the
Philisitines recorded in chapter 14,
during which time Saul proves him
self to be unfit for.such a high posi-
tion as king over Israel, David is
anointed to bo Saul's successor,
and Goliath, the Philistine giant, is
slain by David, who is brought into
the presence of Saul as Israel's
great deliverer. At this hour Jona-
than's and David's friendship be-
gins.
It is very interesting to note that
in no place 10 the sacred record is
David said to have loved Jonathan.
Tho love is always on Jonathan's
side for David. While every one
would grant that David certainly
did love Jonathan, yet the record
would seem to indicate that the
more unselfish, the deeper, the
more spontaneous love was ou the
part of Jonathan.
4, Then said Jonathan unto Da-
vid, Whatsoever thy soul desireth,
I will even do it for thee. 5. And
David said unto Jonathan, Behold,
to -morrow is the new moon, and 1
should not fail to sit with the king
at meat; but let me go, that 1 may
Bide myself in the field unto the
third day at even, 6. If thy father
miss me at all, then say, David did
earestly, ask leave of me that he
might run to Both-lehem his city;
for it is the yearly sacrifice there
for all the family. 7, If he say thus,
. It is well; thy servant shall have
peace; but it he is wroth, then
know that evil is determined by
]nim. 8. Therefore deal kindly with
thy servant; for thou hast brought
thy servant into a covenant of Jo-
hovah with thee; but if there be in
me inquity,' slay me thyself; for
why ahouldest thou bring me to
thy father? 9. And Jonathan said,
Far be it from thee; for it I should
at all know that evil were deter-
mined by my father to come upon
thee, tlien would not I tell thee?
David's plan was to go down to
Bethlehem to offer a yearly sacri-
fice and thus to have a reasonable
excuse from being absent from the
feast, If, as a consequence of his
absence, Saul should speak quiet-
ly and approvingly of him, he then
would. know that ho could safely
return to the king's court. But Da-
vid would never know exactly how
Saul expressed himself in his ab -
Hence concerning him, unless Jona-
than would devise some means of
communicating this inofrmation to
him, and the following verses un-
fold for us the scheme that Jona-
than had for so communicating this
information,

10. Then said David to Jonathan,
Who shall tell inc if perchance thy
father .answer thee roughly? 11.
And Jonathan said unto David,
Conte, and let' us go out into the
field. And they went out moth of
then into the field, 12, And Jona-
than said unto David, Jeohovah, the
God of Israel, be witness; when 1
have sounded my father about this
time to -morrow, or the third day,
behold, it there be good toward
David, shall 1 not then send ubto
thee, and disclose it unto thee? 13.

a TCA airplane had flown from Seattle to Vancou ver, and the group shows S, J. Hungerford, president
of the line, Lucille Garner first TCA stewardess and Walter Fowler, pilot.
Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and
more also, should it please my fath-
er to do thee evil, if I disclose it
not unto thee, and send thee away,
that thou mayest go in peace: and
Jehovah be with thee, as he hath
been with my father. 1.1, And thou
shalt not only while yet I live show
me the loving -kindness of Jehovah,
that I die not; 15, but also thou
shalt not cut off thy kindness from
my house for ever; no, not when
Jehovah hath cut oft the enemies
of 'David every one from the face
of the earth. 16, So Jonathan made
a covenant with the house of Da-
vid, saying, And Jehovah will re-
quire it at the hand of David's en-
emies, 17. And Jonathan caused
David to swear again, for the love
that he had to him; for he loved
him as he loved his own soul.
Jonathan now divulges `his plan
to David. David is to remain away
for three, days, and thea he is to
come back and hide near "the
stone Ezel," the exact location of
which we do not konw. Jonathan
will shoot three arrows, and say to
a lad whom lie send after them,
"Go, find the arrows." It he tells
the boy that "the arrows are on
this side of thee," then David is to
know that lie can return to Saul's
court in c-fety, but, if he should

Stars At 'blue coal' Cavalcade
say to the boy, "Behold, the arrows
are beyond thee," then David is to
know that he must flee.
"The farewell of these two is one
of the most exquisite pictures in
all of the Old Testament."
Wo come now to the last meeting
of these two friends. The circum-
stances surrounding this- meeting
are compactly given in 1 Sam, 23:
14, 15. How,like a perfect friend
Jonathan was when, knowing that
David must be in 'a mood of deep
repression, he came to him and
strengthened his hand in God. And
Jonathan knew that he was to be
supplanted; yet he clasped hands
with the same loyal, tender love as
in the first days, and they parted.
with , their arms around each
other's necks and their souls knit
together. There is nothing in the
records of humanity which comes
nearer to the pure, unchanging love•
of Jesus than this.

Men Are Stricter
On Wearing Veils
Dr. Wilfrid D. Hambly, curator
of African ethnology at Field
Museum of Natural History, says
that among the Tuareg people of
the Sahara and Timbuktu, the
women, trhditionally veiled, aro
becoming lax about wearing theirs,
but the men wear veils and aro
very strict about never revealing
their full faces in public.
These people aro Mohammed-
