LESSON
LESSON VI
THE WORKS AND THE WORD
OF GOD—Psalm 19
Golden Text — "Let the words of
my mouth and the meditation of
my heart be acceptable In thy
sight, 0 Jehovah, my rock, and
my redeemer." Ps. 19:14.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time — Probably written early
in David's life, possibly 1050 B.C.
Place — This psalm cannot be
identified with any particular loca-
tion.
This psalm consists of two (113 -
tinct parts, in which are contra:it-
ed God's revelation of himself in.
nature, and his revelation of him-
self in hie word. It speaks first of
hie glory as seen in the heavens,
and then of his glory as manifested
in his law.
WITNESS OF CREATED
UNIVERSE
Of the witness of the heavens
five things are said: 1. Ile witness
is specific — the heavens do not
tell of God's will, gnaw, mercy, or
love; they declare instead his wis•
dom, power, glory and goodness.
2, The witness is also incessant --
iu the heavens, the firmament, the
days, the nights. 3. The witness is
inaudible — the testimony breathed
out and poured forth is inarticulate.
4. The witness is universal — it is
through all the earth, and to the
end of the world. 5. The witness is
glorious — the sun ie represented
as a bridegroom, full of joy; and
as a runner full of strength,
Psalm 19:
1. The heavens declare the glory
of God;
And the firmament &bewoth
his handiwork,
2. Day unto day uttoreth &pee*,
And night unto night showeth
knowledge.
3. There is no speech nor lang-
uage;
Their voice is not heard.
4. Their line is gone out through
all the earth,
And their words k the end of
the world.
In them has he set a taber-
nacle for the suu,
5. Which is as a bridegroom com-
ing out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man
to run his course.
6. His going forth is from the
end of the heavens. And his olrcuit
unto the ends of it; And there is
nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The psalmist knew nothing about
solar spectra or stellar distances,
but he heard a voice from out of
the else waste heavens which had
sounded to him as if it named God.
GOD'S WORD WITNESSED
The sinner now turns from God's
revelation of himself is nature to
his revelation of himself in his
written word. What the sun is in
the world of nature, that the law
is in the spiritual world: the one
quickens and cherishes the animal
Life — nothing being hid from Ile
Treat; the other quickens and ober-
ishes the lite of the soul.
7. The law of Jehovah is perfect,
restoring the soul:
Tho testimony of Jehovah is
sure, making wise the simple,
8, The precepts of Jehovah are
right, rejoicing the heart.
The commandment of Jehovah
is pure, enliglcteniug the eyes,
9. The fear of Jehovali. is clean,
enduring forever:
Tho ordinances of Jehovah are
true, and righteous altogether.
Some notes of the preceding three
verses: "Law" tells of the divine
instruction relative to character
and conduct. "Testimony" tells of
the divine witness to what God is,
and should be. "Statute" tells of di-
vine directions designed to secure
obedience, or check disobedience.
"Commandment" tells of the divine
decrees, authoritative and imper-
ious. "Fear" tells of the settled
habit of the soul which is informed
by the Law. "Judgments" toll of
the judicial decleione and sentences
of Jehovah, •
10. More to be desired are they
than gold, yea, than much tine gold.
Bible truth is enriching to the soul
in the highest degree, Sweeter aleo
than honey and the droppings of
the honeycomb. The allusion is to
honey that drops from the comb,
Which is therefore the purest. And
moreover by them is thy servant
warned, Through God's word man's
duty is made plain and the conse-
quences plain, In keeping them
there is great reward,
A PRAYER
Through the first eleven verses of
this chapter, God has been speak•
lug to the psalmist; it is perfectly
natural, then, that after God has
thus graciously spoken to men, man
should in return address God. The
$oriptures are God's word to us:
prayer is our word to God. The
psalmist's heart here goes out in
petition and thanksgiving to God.
12. Who r.'►n discern his errors? And
clear thou me from hidden faults.
The psalmist frequently acknowled•
gee his known sins to God, and is
cleansed of them by God's grace;
but here he asks that he might also
be cleansed and cleared from the
sins of which he Is not conscious.
1:3. Keep back thy servant also
from presumptuous cies;
Paper Company Donates Plane
When a new Cub "65" training plane, the fastest of its type yet
produced in Canada, was donated by the Ontario Paper Co., of Thorold,
to the St Catharines Flying club, it boosted the ability of that club to
train student pilots for 'the Royal Canadian Air Force. The plane was
accepted by M. A. Seymour, K,C',, president of the Canadian Flying
Clubs' association, and holder of the McKee trophy for the most dis-
tinguished contribution to Canadian aviation in 1939, and Lloyd Snell,
president of the St. Catharines club, LEFT and RIGHT above. The
plane was presented by A. A. Schmon, president and manager of the
company, CENTRE ABOVE. The presentation was watched by
young air force student pilots.

Dresses and hats aro red, white
and blue — men sport their vet-
erans' buttons proudly in their
lapels, and concert orchestras In-
sert patriotic tunes in their pro-
grams — which invariably close
with the National Anthem that is
played around the world.
We've been noticing the
growth of this feeling, and it
set us to thinking just what it
meant. It is quite apparent that
it isn't just a case of waving the
flag, it went deeper -- deeper in-
to the character of all Canadians.
Day by day, week by week, with-
out our really realizing it, into
the every -day life of Canada has
crept a spontaneous expression of
how sincere Canadians feel in
this struggle for christianity and
freedom.
It's a sound consciousness in
times like these.

Saving Ontario's
Natural
Resources
By G. C. TONER
(No, 2)
About 150 years ago the first
settlement of this country began.
Before that time the primeval
forests were undisturbed, except
by the wandering tribes of native
Indians. Even to a modern observ-
er the land would have seemed
inexhaustibly rich in its natural
resources, We know from early
books and documents that game,
furbearers, birds and fish swarm-
ed in countless numbers. Yet, six
generations only have looted and
spoilt a heritage that should have
been continually self -replenish-
ing. ..
Uncontrolled Exploitation
Let us look at the record!
Sturgeon were native to all the
Great Lakes and to many of the
inland waters. In the early days
of the fisheries they were re-
garded as a nuisance, the fisher-
men had no market for them.
Later, by 1870, they became sale-
able and in 1885, Lake Erie pro-
duced 4,500,000 pounds of stur-
geon ,for the markets. Here, as
elsewhere, over -exploitation took
place so that between the years
1930 and 1934 the average pro-
duction for this lake was 15,000
pounds. There was a decrease in
the catch of 99.2% in 45 years.
Sturgeon aro commercially ex-
tinct and it will take many years
to restore the fishery if it can
be done at all,
Salmon Spawned in Lake Ont.
Along the north shore of Lake
Ontario are a number of small,
rapid rivers. Ninety years ago .the
Atlantic salmon, at certain times
of the year, ran into these creeks
and spawned on the gravel bars.
Farmers and townspeople caught
them by the wagon load while
they were on the spawning
grounds. Farms were paid for and
men got rich from the salmon of

As the machinery for national registration was thrown into high

loaded into waiting express cars to be taken first to British Columbia
and to all provinces in order thereafter. Two huskies are shown here

SUN STROKE VICTIMS
During very hot weather, most of
es try to keep out of the sun be•
cause we wish to avoid sunstroke,
but we should try to remember also
that heat exhaustion or heat pros-
tration may occur in the home,
where we are shielded from the
rays of the sun. Sun stroke and heat
exhaustion are two different ail -
Fonts and require somewhat dif-
ferent treatment.
In sunstroke you may feel tired
d dizzy before the regular aymp-
e occur, These aro headache, a
foaling of oppression, sometimes a
lightness in the chest, great thirst,
restlessness, frequent desire to pass
thine, hot skin, a "alcky" feeling,
flushed face and high temperature,
finally unconsciousness.
Treatment in sunstroke is to lay
the patient in a cool, shady place,
off the ground If possible or on tho
ground on newspapers or clothing
St no bench or table is available,
Cold cloths aro then applied to the
back of neck, face, and chest, cloth-
ing removed, body sprinkled with
water. The head should be kept up
high and patient fanned with a tow-
ed or pleco of clothing. When the
patient is able to swallow, some
cool water containing a pinch of
salt should be given.

The possibility of an increase of
at least 20 per cent. in the prices
of fertilizer in Canada was seen
recently by G. E. Peart, plant pro-

ment of Agriculture.
POTASH CAME FROM EUROPE
Addressing a Dominion -provincial

expected price rise might start this
month and was caused by the war.
About one half of the potash used

Europe prior to the war and now
Canada is almost totally dependent
on the United States for this mat-
erial. The discount on Canadian ex-
change together with the 10 per

to boost prices, he said,

man came into the office looking
rather dejected.
"I hardly know how to tell
you," replied the young man un-
steadily. "I—I—have proposed at
last — and have been turned
down."
"Oh, that will turn out all
• right," replied the employer
cheerfully. "A woman's 'no' often
means 'yes'."
"Perhaps it does," was the sor-
rowful reply, "but this woman.
didn't say no; she just laughed."

The tenant of the new
house was complaining to his
landlord about its condition.
"It's disgraceful!" he
stormed. "Why, there's grass
coming up through the flcnr
boards in the drawing room!"
"Oh, we'll fix that," said
the landlord. "I'll send a man

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER
New hope for hay fever victims
was held out last week by an
Emory (Atlanta, Ga.) University
physician's report that potassium
gluconate tablets had given re-
lief to seven of every ten patients
in tests at the school hospital.
Experiments conducted with
more than 100 patients over an
18 -month period indicated potas-
sium gluconate is a "good form
of relief" although it is "unfor-
tunately not a cure."
The tablets served to correct "a
deficiency of potassium" which
had been noted in the tissues of
allergic persons.
Check Soil Drift
By Strip Farming
it's Being Done In Many Dif-
ferent Parts of the Prairie
Provinces
Considerable progress in the
drive against soil drifting was -re-
ported last week to the national
advisory committee on agricultur-
al services by its section on soil
drifting.
The report said strip farming,
which checks the loss of top -soil,
had been reported in ninny parts
of the Prairie Provinces.
MOSTLY 1N SOUTHERN ALTA.
In 1935 only a Very small
area in the Monarch district of
Southern Alberta was following
this practice but by 19.10 it is
estimated that approximately 80
to 90 per cent of the fanners in
Southern Alberta are following
thi.; practice While perhaps 60 per
cent of the farmers in South
Western Sa'hn1chc',van have ad-
opted it.
All Highway Jobs
In Ontario Cease
Construction Work Stops For
The Duration
All highway construction all
throughout the province of Ontario
has ceased, carrying out Premier
Hepburn's direction that all govern-
ment spending during the war must
he cut to a minimum. No more con-
tracts for highway construction are
to be let for the war's duration, the
Minister of Highways, Hon, T. B.
McQuesten, said last week due to
the policy of cutting all government
spending to a minimum,
Contracts were terminated July
31, including work on the Queen
Elizabeth Way between Burlington
and Niagara Falls, Between 1,400
and 1,500 men had been employed
en this work, while near North Bay
and Sudbury a further 700 employ-
ed on smaller contracts have also
ceased work,
FIX HIGHWAY NO, 3 TURN
"It's the worst highway corner in
Western Ontario," declared Mr, Mc-
Questen in answering the protest
of a group of Delhi citizens, against
cost and necessity of widening a
turn south of Delhi on Highway No,
3. While those protesting the work
contended the cost is $190,000, Mr.
McQuesten explained the actual
cost le $10,000.
Mr, McQuesten said the work
would be proceeded with and the
corner widened to remove a dang-
erous right angle, It is a danger to
traffic, he explained, and has caus-
ed may accidents. Mr. McQuesten
felt that the protest came from res-
idents who did not want their pro-
perties purchased by the depart-
ment of highway€ for use in widen-
ing,

THE WAR -WEE K --Commentary on Current Events
. Determination One of Britain's
Greatest Weapon s: Canada's
Training Plan
GREAT BRITAIN: The German
offensive against Britain became
somewhat stronger last week and
bombing in streets and congested
areas resulted in many casualties
in the south of England. Reports
say that the Nazi have cleared
zones across the channel along the
coast of France as military opera-
tions extend some hundred miles
inland. This zone of activity ex-
tends from Dunkirk to Brest,
opposite Plymouth, and the south-
east corner of England, In spite
of heavy bombing raids Britains
are prepared to deal with the
enemy and anti-aircraft batteries
and the R.A.F. have been in con-
stant combat with effectiveness,
downing satisfactory percentages
In every encounter.
NAZI UNEASY
Britain's blunt rejection of Hit-
ler's "peace" advances were fol-
lowed by the preparation of an
"eight -point peace program" by
Hitler and would indicate that
Nazidom is more anxious to end
hostilities than it cares to admit.
The best offer Hitler can make
therefore, is a return to the pre -
September status quo, perhaps
with some concessions to the
Czechs. This, though a far cry
from the eight points which would
leave his boundaries as they are
at present, would assure Herr Hit-
ler of continuing as Fuehrer. It
is not rash to assume that he is
ready, if not eager, to strike a
bargain with Britain somewhere
between those extremes.
However, the determination of
Britains to rid Europe of the
Nazi power will not tolerate such
ideas.

THE BALKANS—The German
warning to King Carol of Ru-
mania leads us to wonder whether
he is or is not King. He has been
playing both ends against the
middle for so long that there is
Little igft for him to attempt fur-
ther. He must settle differences
wih Hungary and I3ulgaria before
September 15th, so say the Axis
Powers. Failure to meet this dead-
line, authoritative quarters say,
may result in intervention by
these powers to impose their own
settlement,
Reports of the German warn-
ing were circulated as Juliu
Maniu, leader of Rumania's pow-
erful peasant party, arrived at
Bucharest from his hone in Tran-
sylvania to oppose any conces-
sions to Hungary or Bulgaria.
Sources close to the government
had indicated that Rumania might
try a compromise solution of
Hungary's claims to 'Transylvan-
ia by offering to cede the three
border cities of Satu-Mare, Or-
adea and Arad and arranging an
exchange of populations in other
districts. Maniu pointed out that
Rumania's chief strength in op-
posing Hungarian and Bulgarian
demands lay in Germany's desire
to maintain peace in the 13alkan,,
*
THE MEDITERRANEAN—The
hard -handed briskness with which
Hitler and Jiu olini are extend-
ing their ci"nhin:,tion down the
Balkan peninsula increases the
threat to Britain's ;creat interests
in the Near East and make- it
more than ever imperative that
she should maintain her eontr,,l
of the Mediterranean which Ita'y
is challenrinr. Bombs over Ene-
land tend to obscure the fact that
the Battle of Britain reaches far
beyond the British shore. Gihrr;l-
tar (gateway to ;he Atlantic),
Malta and the Suez Canal are
vital to the existence of the Bri-
tish Empire.
The British are guarding the
Suez canal as zealously as they i
are their own home shores. in-
deed, if it weren't for the nec-
essity of maintaining such stroma
naval and air forces in Egypt,
Gibraltar and Malta, the home de-
fenses would be much mightier
than they are now.

CANADIAN DRAFT FOR
HOME DEFENSE: The details of
Canada's Home Defense Policy
were outlined in the House of
Commons on Monday, July 29th
by the Hon. J. L. Ralston. One of
the most important of our war ef-
forts is rapidly taking shape and
the present plan is to train 3(10,000
men for home defense yearly at
the rate of about 30,000 a month
Mr. Ralston explained, These men
will be trained in thirty or more
training centres across Canada,
each of which will handle about
1,000 men each month. The 300,-
000 figure for a year set by Mr.
Ralston is apparently predicted
on doubt whether training can
be carried on during the two mid-
winter months. "It is unlikely that
married men will be called dur-
ing the first year," he stated.
There are to be no exemptions
from service. Physically fit men,
regardless of their occupation, are
to report when their classes are
called. The first class is to report
about October 1st,
RECRUITING FOR 0 V E R -
SEAS SUSPENDED: Mr, Ralston
indicated that during the period
when Canada was mobolizing a
new army for defense, recruit-
ing for overseas service would be
stopped. "It must be remember-
ed," he said, "that there is at the
present moment no shortage of
manpower in England; the real
demand is for equipment."
POLICY TO CAUSE THE
MINIMUM DISLOCATION TO
INDUSTRY: There are difficult-
ies in withdrawing so many men
from the normal life of the com-
munity even for the comparative-
ly short period of thirty day's
training, but difficulties cannot
be allowed to obscure the goal
to be reached. The plan has been
worked out so that it can be
speeded up or slowed down as
events require.
NO DISTINCTION TO BE
MADE BETWEEN NEW RE-
CRUITS AND REST OF MIL-
ITIA: It is important that from
the outset of this training plan
these men drafted be regarded as
members of the Canadian army.
As recruits they will pass direct-
ly into the militia regiments, No
distinctions shall be made except
than the men called under this
plan will not be available for
duty outside of Canada unless
they volunteer for such service.
As part of a mighty Canadian
army which will be available to
defend the county, they will share
its traditions and be the cus-
todians of its honor.

THE AMERICAS TO PREVENT
AXIS POWERS FROM CON-
TROL IN COLONIES
Students of history will now
have another date to memorize
in the future. The plan Jo pro-
tect territory in the Western
Hemisphere now belonging to
European powers, was embodied
in a draft resolution last week,
called "The Act of H1vana" and
provides that The American Re-
publics may establish "regions of
provisional administration" in any --
areas now held by non -American
nations which are in danger of be-
coming the subject -matter of ex-
change of territories or sov-
ereignity. Thus the 21 American
Republics have prepared to back
up the Monroe Doctrine with
whatever force is necessary to
prevent American territory ruled
by European powers falling into
the hands of Germany or her
friends.
Its implications mean that for
the first time in history the arm-
ed forces of the United States can
be used to protect any part of the
hemisphere without incurring any
liability or charges of imperial-
ism, since the United States Gov-
ernment would be acting on be-
half of all other republics. Since
the United States is the only Re-
public in this hemisphere with a
navy strong enough to prevent an
invasion or to prevent any power
from taking over the French and
Dutch possessions, the resolution
was considered to nominate the
United States as the hemisphere's
defender,
* • •
THE FAR EAST
CHINA: Foreign quarters close
to the Chungkin government as-
serted a few days ago that China
had rejected unconditionally re-
cent Japanese overtures to halt
hostilities and conclude an all -
embracing settlement between the
two nations — largely at the ex-
pense of third powers' interest in
Eastern Asia, These informants
said the Japanese proposals in-
cluded the following:
1. Outright cession by China lo
Japan of five provinces, Hopei,
Charhar, Shantung, Shansi and
Suiyuan,
2, Recognition of Wang Ching -
Wei, Japanese sponsored puppet,
as president of a Chinese repub-
lio made up of the remaining

French Indo-China and Thailand
(Siam), in which China and Ja-
pan would share economic op-
portunities.
3. The status of Manchukuo
would be left in abeyance in-
definitely.
• • •
JAPAN: In the meantime some
dozen British subjects were ar-
rested in Tokio by Japanese police
and are being held in connection
with Japanese military secrets.
The reply to Sir. Robert Craigie's
protest said the arrests were "the
first step" against a British es-
pionage network covering the en-
tire country. Authoritative sourc-
es said they understood that
Craigie in protesting against the
arrests had touched "on the fact"
that a strong German Nazi party
organization exists in Japan,
"well instructed" in propaganda
and political activities.
Indignation is being expressed
in London and demands are being
made for the re -opening of the
Burma Road whereby China re-
ceived many of her materials for
carrying on her war against Ja-

U.S. Grafting Expert Gets A
Single Vine to Bear Double
A single fruit tree, and a scrawny
one at that, becomes a veritable or-
chard when Thomas Glover, of
Stonington, Conn., a gardener for
30 years, gets his hands on it.
HE PERFORMS MIRACLES
Glover, who has conducted many
experiments in grafting and bud-
ding, has for example, taken one
tree and caused it to produce 20
different kinds of apples, as well as
a quantity of Bartlett pairs.
Back in 3926 ho began notching
stocks of various other trees on the
trunk of a Baldwin apple. Today
the tree produces Baldwins, Green-
ings, Gravensteins, McIntosh, Gol-
den Sweetings, Denison Reddings,
Gillyflowers, Kings, Russets and no
less than eleven other popenlar
kinds,
THEY'RE OF SAME FAMILY
The basic principle of grafting,
Glover explains, is to keep the dif-
ferent fruits of a family together.
A pear might do satisfactorily on an
apple tree for a few years, while
a peach or a plum is not likely to
do well. 1n other 'words, fruits of
seed are of one family and should
be kept together, while those with
stones are of another family and
should not bo crossed with a seed
species.
Potatoes and tomatoes are of the
same family and Glover has gond
nature one better by having a

Big Educational Achievement
In Western Arca South of
Regina
In a derelict ghost town of the
west, once a historic centre of a
wealthy wheat -.growing area until
drought and the depression wreck-
ed havoc, there has sprung up a
college which is the envy of the
educationalists from coast to coast.
The town is Wilcox, 28 miles
south of Regina in Saskatchewan,
and the school is Notre Dame Col-
lege with a Catholic padre as its
clean, but with a non-sectarion out-
look.
IN DEPRESSiON DISTRICT
The dean, short, twinkling -eyed
Father Athol Murray, recently told
tho story of the founding of the
college to Montreal Star reporters,
While in Regina he formed the
Argonaut Boys' Club and after the
Archbishop's death, decided to
found the college.
It took shape in 1930. Buildings
worth thousands of dollars were
picked up for a mere song, and
two former bank buildings were re-
quisitioned.

British Prefer
Canada's Cheese
They're Crazy About Our
Cheddar — Increased Pro-

For Here
The beleaguered United King-

officials say,
Cheese it is explained, is in its
way just as valuable for fighting
as guns, A man can survive on
cheese for a long time. The Un-
ited Kingdom wants it in quan-
tity because of its high nutritive
value, because it is comparatively
easy to ship and will keep and be-
cause the British like Canadian
cheddar cheese.
Production is believed to be
stepping up a little in Canada,
but it is still far below what it
was 35 years ago. In 1940 Can-
ada shipped 234,000,000 pounds
of cheese to the United Kingdon,
In contrast to this figure the
whole production of the Dominion
in 1939 was not more than 122,-
772,000 pounds,
Early in the year the dairy
products board made a deal with
the British food ministry to ship
1,500 long tons in May and 3,000
long tons in June, but upon re-
presentations from the ministry,
moved June shipments toward the

*
Last week: The crisis of the
sacrifice is met when Bob rises
to the occasion and tells the
strange people the Sun God wants
only happiness on this earth,
CHAPTER XXI
The celebration continued until
well past noon, and Bob was
forced to do some tactful hinting
in order to get more food for him-
self and 'Lissa,
"Evidently white gods aren't
supposed to cat much," Bob grum-
bled, good-naturedly. "I'd give a
lot to sit down to one of Honey
Bee'.; meals right now,"
"Me too!" 'Lissa agreed, "Say,
I wonder what's happening back
in camp, Bob? Don't you imagine
Uncle Hades is likely to start
after us?"
"Your guess is as good as mine.
It all depends on what the cook
tells. Unfortunately, we ordered
her not to tell anything, you
know, We've got to get out of
here as soon as possible."
Bob need not have worried
about their escape, for the brown
people themselves had been plan-
ning. When the huge bonfire had
died down and the merrymaking
subitled the chieftain approached
Bob, with great deference, The
two men talked, with signs and
a few words which Bob had pick-
ed up, for more than an hour.
A ring of villagers stood around
to watch, at respectful distance.
"1 think we understand each
other, at last," Bob eventually
said to 'Lissa, "The chief here is
begging a boon for his people, He
petitions us never to reveal the
!nation of their village to their
enemies."
'Lissa started questionably at
Bob.
"Who are their enemies? Now,
I mean?"
"Nobody. But they don't un-
derstand that, Their word-of-
mouth history tells of raiding
cut-throats, who drove their an-
cestors out of the cliff castle,
you know. They fled here to hide.
They've been hiding for a long
time, and they;don't know any-
thing else."
"Oh—that's right. And 1 don't
much blame then!, Bob,"
"Nor I. They begged us not to
destroy them ourselves, too, I
promised, provided we would
have an escort back up the cave
trail."
• * «
NO OTHER WAY OU'i'
'Lissa wasn't sure she wanted
ever to see the inside of any cave
again. But Bob told her there
might be no other way out of the
box canyon, even with dangerous
climbing The brown chief said
so, and his people surely ought
l� know. Rock walls can be de-
fiant of man.
"However, I'll bet Hades Jones
and Holliman and 1 could figure
a way to get out," Bob was star-
ing speculatively at the cliffs.
"Take some lengths of rope, spik-
ed shoes, •n short miner's pisk,
and—"
"Bob, aren't you assuming too
much, though? These people have
no rope. Or shoes, Or metal tools
of any kind,"
"That's right, sweetheart, But
1 was just supposing. Anyhow 1
want to go back through the cave.
We'll have a guide back to my
lost shoulder pack. And I mark-
ed our own way down to there,
you remember."
'Lissa shuddered, in memory.
But she nodded agreement.
"Will you come back here
soon?" she asked, looking up at
his eyes.
He hesitated a long while be-
fore answering. "What do you
think? Would you?" He kissed
her full on the lips. "I'm going
to be busy for a while, getting
married, and making love, and—"
She blushed at that, smiled at
hitn, "Most gentlemen make love
to girls first, then get nlntried
sir!"
by
OREN ARNOLD
"Not me! I'm going to make
love right along, true enough,
but believe pre Miss Lane you're
going to marry your business
partner as quickly as we can get
license and a preacher."
"Fraid I'd run away?" she
teased.
"THIS IS UTOPIA"
"Maybe. Wouldn't blame you
a lot. I'll! taking 110 chances."
"But honey." She snuggled to
him then. "You will want to see
this place again, and you know
it, This would fascinate any ar-
chaeologist."
". 'Lissa girl, thisexperience
has been bigger than any archae-
ology, or any other science. Why
Ibis is—this is a utopia! It's not
real, yet it is. It's almost unbeliev-
able, The living dead. The exist-
ing past. I know it's a heaven
for an archaeologist, in one way.
But you've done something to me
here, Don't forget also that we're
demigods in this village, super-
natural. Just imagine it—the only
white people they've ever seen or
heard of. These folk still live
back in the fourteenth century,
in effect."
"I know, Bob. I have thought
about it all day. It would be
cruel, inhuman, to disturb then!,"
"I'll say! Imagine the news-
papers. And the newsreel camera-
men, And the tourists, and hot
dog stands and filling stations
popping up on the new road out
here—gosh!"
"LET'S NEVER TELL"
The enormity of the affair im-
pressed then! both, So called while
civilization can be very heartless,
for all its greatness, The Lost
Kingdom would be overrun with
white sten in a week's time, In a
year its people would be disin-
tegrated, scattered, confused,
saddened, their contentment and
perhaps their very existence
doomed.
"Mary Melissa," Bob was very
gentle and very serious, "let's
never tell. Let's keep it our love
secret—yours and aline, We
found our own happiness here.
Why destroy theirs? Let's—let's
allow one aboriginal American
race to stay unmolested by whites,
and so work out its own destiny!"
Against his chest she sobbed a
little, reached up and patted his
now stubble -covered cheek. "Rob-
ert Barry," she murmured, "I
would have loved you in any ev-
ent, but right now I think you
are the greatest elan who ever
lived!"
Bob managed to obtain a bit
of dried meat for their food, but
they had to spend another night
in the canyon village. They slept
again in the chieftain's house.
Many presents were brought to
then!—mostly useless, valueless,
but evidently highly -prized cere-
monial sticks, fetishes, feather
ornaments, and other things with
religious significance to the
brown folk. Bob showed gratitude
as best he could, and returned
them. It was toward midnight
before they could get to lie down,
They slept at once, soundly, hap-
pily.
NO SOUVENIRS
The chief• himself selected a
guide for them next day, a young
brown lad who appeared signally
honored. Probably he had a re-
ward coming to him, Bob sug-
gested to 'Lissa, and this was it.
He hadn't far to lead then,
really. Bob wanted to explore the
cave, but he resisted all tempta-
tion to take back any evidence
of the cave or the hidden valley.
When the guide. found their pack,
and Bob located his own chalk
trail markers, he turned and ad-
dressed the brown boy,
The lad never understood, but
he was obviously impressed with
Bob's speech, Bob then opened
the blades of his pocket knife, in-
dicated its possible use, and gave
it to the boy, Short of life itself,
he couldn't have offered anybody
a gift more wonderful. The boy's
happiness was almost divine.
When the lad had disappeared
back down the subterranean trail
and his torchlight was no longer
visible, Bbo held his own light
and—taking 'Lissa's hand—led
the way slowly upward, atone
with her again.

"FOOD FOR HEALTH"
Last week I spoke of the merit
of the publication, Food For
Health, published by the Can-
adian Medical Association. Con-
tinuing with the advice written
therein I believe it is timely to
mention this week, the "Shop-
ping Hints" and "Cooking Hints,"
two topics which are of present
day value to every thrifty house-
wife who is interested in the
health and economy of her fam-
ily.
Those of you who are filing
the writings of this column will
have from last summer, my ar-
ticle "Hints on vegetable cook-
ing." Some is a repetition, but I
wish to give the information ex-
actly as printed in the' book
"Food For Health".
, SHOPPING HINTS
1, Use foods "in season" when
the price is lowest.
2. When fresh vegetables are
high i►1 price, buy canned vege-
tables, particularly tomatoes vs
they retain their total food valve
in canning.
3. Cheese may replace some of
the milk or pleat in ones diet.
An ounce of Canadian cheese
may be used in place of a glass
of milk,
4. In buying the cheaper -cuts
of meat, select those with little
bone or waste.
5, Foods in bulk usually are
cheaper than those in pad:ages,
ti. When possible buy foods in
large quantities to get price re-
ductions.
7. Familiarize yourself '. ith Cha
meaning of "government grades"
for food.
COOKING HINTS
1. Use little water for cooking,
except for strongly flavored vege-
tables.
2. Sate cooking water from
vegetables, or liquid from canned
vegetables and use as stock in
soups.
3. Cook vegetables with skins
on, if possible. Otherwise scrape
or pare thinly.
4. Don't overcook vegetables.
Such vegetables as green cabbage
and spinach need only 8 to 10
minutes cooking. Bed cabbage,
potatoes, and root vegetables need
20 to 40 minutes.

Tests
This struggle, not the first, is not
the last.
Hitler and Attila are only tests,
If we are sound our constitu-
tion rests
Unshaken. Only those whose time
is past,
Like dead oaks waiting for the
autumn's blast,
Ever obey a conqueror's be-
hests,
All down the seas the strong
waves' whitening crests
Seek the small crevice -rotten in
the mast.
We are not destined for disaster
yet.
With all his engines Hitler waits
its vain
To bring the long, dark ages
back again,
Which only come to peoples who
forget.
Just causes, such as those to
which we turn
And such as German.' may never
learn.

All children are medically exam•

Housekeeping
Is A Business
It Needn't Be Hard If You Go
About It Properly
Hero are some hints for the in•
experienced housewife. First of all,
don't have anything in your house
that is neither useful nor pleasing
to your artistic sense. Don't buy
more furniture at the beginning
than you really need, The more you
have the more work to be done.
You can always add later. Another
thing, don't choose furniture that
is only raised about half an inch
from the ground — this will mean
you'll have to shift it every time
you clean, or grovel on your hands
and knees.
ON TURNING OUT A ROOM
Now for the job of turning out
a roam. Sounds simple — but how
many new housewives know just
how to set about it. First brush
thoroughly all small upholstered
chairs and put them and other eas-
ily carried things out of the room,
Then thoroughly brush all the lar-
ger upholstered furniture and cover
with trust sheets. After that sweep
the floor, If you have a large car-
pet which cannot be taken up eas-
ily, sweep the carpet first. Then
leave the room for a while to allow
the dust to settle. Return and dust
every article in the room, clean the
window ledges, top of the door and
skirtings, also picture rails. Take
down the pictures, dust and re.
place, Polish floor surrounds.
Use furniture polish twice a year
after washing off the old polish
with vinegar and •water. Floors, of
course, need polishing More often—
a lot depends upon the kind of floor
and the amount of traffic over It.
Finally replace small furniture.
Salvage Old Wool

Women's Institute Passes
Along Thrifty Idea to Others
There's another bit of economy
that can be added to the salvaging
nearly every one is doing these
days.
Mather than discard old socks.

wear, in fact anything that has a
particle of wool in it, save the gar-
ment for slaking blankets.

ILIA
Designed For
Home Harmony
Curtains and Draperies Both
Should Relate to Room's Col-
our Scheme
Windows should not only be de•
conative and attractive by them-
selves, but should also harmonize
with the entire room.
Curtains and draperies serve a
variety of purposes; they may also
temper the light, soften the glass
and woodwork, bring color and soft-
ness to the room and windows, and
frame interesting views, give a feel-
ing of privacy, and shut out unat-
tractive views.
Colored curtains and draperies
should relate to the color of the
wall; patterned curtains and drat).
Dries should contain something of
the wall color. A pattern that hats
from four to six colors may be re•
peated elsewhere in the room and
it may establish a color scheme.
For a room without much pat-
tern on the wall paper, or in books
and hanging pictures, patterned
curtains or draperies give friendli-
ness and interest,
TWO ROOMS MATCHING
Plain -colored curtains er draper-
ies may match the color of plain
walls, may harmonize with them
or may repeat some important col-
our in a figured wall and at the
same time harmonize with the rug
and other furnishings.
Two rooms may be in harmony,
if the curtains are the same gen-
eral color in both rooms, even
though patterned in one Croom and
plain in the other.
British Women
Doing Without
Give Up Luxuries As Result
of New War Budget — "Just
Make Do" Slogan As Regards
Clothes and Cosmetics
British women must "snake Flo."
Cosmetics, silk stockings, house-
hold goods, kettles, clothes — alt
the things women in pre-war days
thought essential — have been all
ruthlessly cut for the duration of
the war in Britain. And no hoarding
either. Each must do her fair share
of going without.
PRODUCE FEW NON.
ESSENTIALs
The object of the new order is to
slake more goods available for the
building up of export trade, to ro•
lease worker's and new materials
for more important war work.
Thousands of men and women
are engaged on the production ot
nonessentials and they will bo all
switched over as rapidly as pos•
sible to war work.
In consequence the humble art-
icles of household ware that have
been treated roughly when plenty
more were available will be respect-
ed now that they cannot be replao•
ed. Women will have to economize
on their cosmetics, and coats and
dresses will have to be "made over"
and do for another season,
