John Trevass spoke qu'iekly, "He is' swimming well, and ,there is another boat around the bend. I11 get it end row out to them. They are .absolutely arae, you see!" And he ran fleet foot for that other boat. But it wasn't there! There was nothing but to tear back to Mary, and then, if Terrill Showed any signs of difficulty to swim out to him.

There wa& that other woman in Dick's life, and John Trevass waiting to marry her—with Dick ready to let her dvdorce him! Dick came at last, in the dusk of the evening!

Dicky was in bed, fate asleep, as he had been, on that night 'ten months ago—and this time it was Dick who was standing in the door way of a cosy sitting -room, "The toy?" he asked. That was bits' first question. "He is all right," Mary told him. "He has 'been talking about You." Dick came further in, but did not sit down. It was an interview he wanted to get ever and done with, "We understand each other now, dont we " he said. Mary nodded; she was finding it difficult to speak. "I think so," she said.

Increasing In Canada During, Past Nine Months Production of mirk in Canptkt has been .moving steadily upwalil for. the past ndne years, and, in 1937, the onatput of nearly 17 billion tpounde was, an increase of about 200 million ,. pounds, over that of 1936. Milk is used in a variety of ways wi'tb only about 40 per cent being used, in the Hudd form, Bettermraking takes the greatest amount of milk and' close to 50 par cent of the total output is skimmed and churned into butter; it take" about 8 per cent of the milk produced to make cheese and ap- pnoxinnately 1,2 per cent of the milk is immune/et' into con'cen'trated mills products. Th a percentage going into lee creamy manufacturers is relatively sneak, There was a eig- naflcant gain in the value of all dairy pnoduots in 1031 when, due to increased produciblon and bdgher Apices; the value was the greatest recorded, since 1930.

Any parent will treasure an album of expressive snaps such as this one. HAVIS you ever thought of taking a series of "candid" or "off - guard" pictures of the baby in his lighter or more active moments, and saving them in a special album entitled "We Knew Him When"? Any parent who owns a camera can build up a splendid collection of pictures ouch as this, and, !f your baby is like most babies, the same pest/ or expression will never pop up twice. A amall baby is probably the world's ideal subject fpr "offguard" pictures, because he is altogether lacking in camera consciousness. Once he learns haat you won't let him chew the corners off the in- teresting bleep gadget, or pull the shiny piece of glass cut of the frotrt, he dismisses the matter and pro- ceeds to more important things. Thereafter, you can shoot away to your heart's content. You don't need a high -spend mini- ature camera to take "candid" plc - tures ' of this sort. A speedy lens is helpful, because then you can use higher shutter speeds and catch the youngster when he is trying his skill at somersaults or endeavoring to smash his rattle to pieces and see what makes It work. But a box cam- era will do the work pretty well if you are careful to watch for momen- tary pauses in the action. Even the most industrious baby comes to a brief halt now and then. During the winter months, most of your "off -guard" baby pictures will he taken indoors, and many of them at night. Amateur photo bulbs aup- ply enough light for the night map - shots, and your flim dealer will have booklets or leaflets showing how to arrange them, With lights arranged properly, the night snaps ars almost as simple as those outdoors in sun. shine, In shooting the off -guard baby Pic- tures, watch for expressive gestures and fleeting expressions, and train yourself to catch them instantly. Snap tears as well as smiles, for they will help you remember your baby as he is now. And, whenever you put a picture in your special al- bum, write under It the day and year when it was taken. That will help make the book a day-by-day biography which grows in value as the years roll by, 179 John van Guilder J'uat as to eompeten't awin/liner may When unexpected wave Melia' Mini• lle rite, 1)101415, so a uor, Melly eoolaleettdelt /Motorist may •";fr'eoze on the wheel" during ,those •preeiotls ripl4U,se enele,'lvhen, a skid can, beeome'ait1rex•' as 'tragedy, or mverely'; -a c4lii m'foiUn'g 1110'16014 le e day's,*drive.
