WASHINGTON TO AMEND U.S. CONSTITUTION Quicker Changes in Adminis- tration After National Elec- tions • Have Taken Place. A despatch from Washington says:—Plans to amend the constitu- tion in order to bring about quicker changes in Administration after the ••oters' have spoken and to eliminate ;ane duck" control of legislation and t the executive branch of the Gov-; -nment, were seriously undertaken. i:, the House on Thursday. The White resolution introduced by; Representative White, proposing such; nn amendment to the constitution, was; favorably acted upon by the commit -1 tie en the election of President and Vice-president. The resolution. provides that the. President and Vice-president shall begin their terms at noon, January 24, while the terms of. Senators and' representatives -shall begin on Janu- ary 4. The resolution contains another provision .concerning the selection of a President in the event neither a President nor a Vice-president shall have been chosen by House. or Senate, respectively, whenever the election shall have gone to the Congress. This latter provision applies to a situation which it is considered night possibly arise under the present political cir- cumstance relative to the election of the next President and Vice-president. Under the constitution the House elects the President, while the Senate elects the Vice-president under the proposed amendment. In the event the House does not elect within the time given, the Vice-president is to serve as President "until the House shall have elected," and if the Vice- president ico-president has not been chosen the Congress shall specify who shall serve with the President until the election occurs. MOVING PICTURES OF MT. EVEREST SUMMIT Elaborate Preparations Made to Take Views of the Hima- layan Expedition. A despatch from London says:— Elaborate preparations have been made to take cinematograph pictures of the third expedition to climb Mount Everest, which is soon leaving this country. Captain J. B. L. Noel, F.R. G.S., who was responsible for the film of the second expedition, shown last year, is again in charge of this side. of the undertaking. He and his party are taking four- teen cameras of all kinds and sizes, and he hopes this year to be able to photograph every phase of the expedi- tion, and, if success crowns the efforts of its members, to take the first pic- tures of the summit itself. A number of pictures are to be taken by a process of color cdne- mategraphy invented by Freise Green. This is said to be not only comparatively simple, but commercial- ly feasible, as the cost is only slightly in excess of that of the norinai pra- te/el; DISCOVER NEW METHOD OF PREPARING INSULIN British Pathologists Claim a Cheaper and Quicker Method of. Adminis- tration. - A despatch from London says:— Very great interest has been aroused by an announcement of a new method preparing insulin without the use of alcohol, The discoverer of this meth- od is Dr. E. C. Dodds, chemical path- ologist to Middlesex, Hospital, and in the current number of the Lancet he and F. Dickens, assistant in the bio- chemistry department of the hospital,' make a preliminary communication ofi the subject. Whilst the old method required} costly alcohol and the process took eight days, it is claimed that Dr. Dodds' method requires only water and two days for the process. Insulin prepared by the new meth- od, so far has been used on four cases of diabetes, and found quite satis- factory. The authors acknowledge their in- debtedness to the Medical Research Council, and especially to Doctors Dale and Dudley. The discovery is placed freely' at the service of .man- kind. Canadiana to be Shown at British Empire Exhibition A despatch from Toronto says:— Dr. George H. Locke, Chief Lib- rarian in Toronto, has been asked to select the Canadian literature exhibit to be shown at the British Empire Exbibition this coming summer in London, England. Dr. Docke has started in on his task and hopes to have the exhibits chosen and well en their way to the Old Land in a fort- night. Dr. Locke has been asked to do this by the Canadian Authors' Association and expects to collect altogether about 500' works in Canadian literature, ex- clusive of books and writings in French.

Crowds Attend Health Exhibit. That both men and women are eager for health instruction has been proven by a unique free health exhibition which has been running in Toronto for the past month, It has been attended by over 15,000 people; Prepared by the Social Hygiene Council with the co-operation of the Federal, Provincial and City Depart ments- of Health, the exhibit was thrown open first for women, 5,000 of whom attended in the first fortnight.' Then it was opened for lien, who have been crowding its daily sessions att the rate of 5,000 a week. The Exhibit consists of wax models, posters, lantern slides, literature and moving pictures accompanied by � ad- dresses explanatory of their nature ori of present social conditions which ares in need of remedy through an exten-1 sion of knowledge. The exhibition' was opened by Mayor Hiltz, who with Dr. J. W. S. McCullough of the Pro- vincial Dept. of Health and Dr. C. J. O. Hastings, Medical FIealth Officer of Toronto, laid emphasis on the es -I sentially national aspects of the whole social hygiene movement and paid tri- bute to Dr. Gordon Bates its founder in Canada. Dr. Hastings referred to the lamentable and costly penalties of an ill-conceived, ill-advised mock mod- esty, which in the past had borne such bitter fruit, and advised knowledge as the great preventive of social dis- eases. Other speakers at the Exhibit in- cluded foremost hygienists, medical men and women, social workers, clergymen, magistrates, educational- ists, and physical directors, all of Dr. Gordon Bates General Secretary of the Canadian Social Hygiene Council, a nation-wide organization interested in forwarding the cause of public health. Dr. Bates was the founder of the Social Hygiene movement in Canada, and has been one of the prime factors in the pre paratioe of the unique Health Exhibit which has been running a month in Toronto and attracting large aud- iences. whom delivered notable addresses on a wide range. of subjects, but each bearing directly on what snakes for or against community health and so- cial hygiene. Those who attended the Exhibit were drawn from all classes. During the fortnight's showing far worsen, rich ladies in their furs rubbed elbows with rather poorly clad factory oper- atives, and the average home -making mother of'a laftrily was as conspicu- ous as the litany professional dr•busi- nesm women to be seen in every audi- mrsaelsamessammermpa I SAY .

Though the Exhibit was free, men and women grateful for the informa- tion gained,.' donated enough to pay all expenses, and it was shown clearly that a Social Hygiene demonstration of this character would be useful as a permanent agency in all large centres F population. o p p The Exhibit will be shown in other parts of Ontario after it closes in To- ronto.

A despatch from London says:— Lloyd George, Lady Astor and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Snowden, marched • hand-in-hand under the blue banner of temperance on Friday when the House' of Com- mons defeated'a private bill propos- ing local option for Wales. The. Un- ionist, Liberal and Labor members united to give the measure its quietus, defeating a closure motion the,aim of which was to prevent its .being talked out. This is the eighteenth time the bill has received its first reading -in Par- liament and perished, and its defeat seems to push prohibition far into the background of British politics. In actual fact, however, drinking is on the decrease. SUPPLY DEPOTS R BRITISH AIRMEN Established Along the Alaska Coast and in Japan to Facili- tate World Flight. A despatch from Ottawa says:— Gasoline, oil and supply depots will be established along the coast of Alaska among the -Aleutian Islands) and in Japan for the benefit of the.

The Natural Resoarces Intel- ligence Serviee',of the Depart-' nlent of•.•the Interim at Ottawa says:— During ays:—During the year 1923 Can- ada's fire loss amounted to over $34,619,000,' This covers losses of created ,resources only— buildings, merehandise, fulni- tire, etc. There' are no figures available of the• lose through • forest fires, but itis known that the amount was tremendous. What this loss of $84,619,000 means '•to Canada can only be • realized by comparison. Capital- ized, at 5 per cent., it represents the earnings of $680,000,000, or $174,000,000 more than the total amount of all Canadian bonds Sold'' in 1,928; It'also represents 1 5 per cent. of Canada's total export trade for 1923. This fire loss is value gone forever. It cannot be fecovered. Only new ;construction and new manufactures can take its 'place. And the material for this re- placement must be purchased. in the open market in competition with requirements for new con- struction, the increased demand affecting the cost of the latter. And who pays for this' fire loss? There is no supply of capi- tal available to provido for it. It must' be paid by the public in general, and in its distribution it constitutes a charge upon everything we buy. As insurance premiums it is included in the cost of all'manufactures and produce, collected.and distribut- edby the insurance companies who also at,the same time col- lect sufficient to cover the cost. of management. During the year 1922 insurance companies registered with the Dominion Superintendent of insurance col- lected in premiums $51,036,208 and paid losses amounting to undoubtedly $35,174,988. Whiledy a certain amount of fire loss is unavoidable, such enormous am- ounts show a degree of careless nese that is inexcusable. 1, The World of the Blind and • Canada's Effort. Before the outbreak of the Great War, woc'k :00 behalf of the adult blind of Canada was non-existent in the national aspect of the case. A few scattered organizations were located 4n. certain• centres,. but the scope of their: activities acrd appeal was purely local. The result was that general lack of knowledge regarding people without. sight prevailed among the, great body. of sighted citizenry. The war came' and changed all this. Our blinded men soon began to come home to. us. The admiration of heroic service to the country, and syinpathy for the loss of the greatest physical blessing' known to man aroused. an interest in their welfare which with intention of these Fellowships is to $5; do, medium, 33.50 to • $4,00; strengthen Canadian national ties by canners and cutters, $1.25 to $2,00; linking the East to the West and, in butcher bulls, choice, $4.25 to $5,25; the opinion of the authorities of the • do, com., $2 to $3; feeding steers, provincial university of Ontario, this good, $5.50 to $6.60` do, fair, $4 to purpose is being well served.
