In thie re- gard, says a "Natural Resburces detin," western Canada has been par-, ticularly fortuaate because the Dora - Milan Lamle eystera of survey has been laid down with the greatest care and furnishes absolute security of title. Geodetin ancl topographical surveys are not unconnected but are comple- mentary one to the other. The Geo- detic survey by triangulation and astronomical observations fixes accur- ately the location ofpoints on the earth's surface,' and the other sur- veys tie in their work to these accur- ately determined points. .A.nother function of the Geodetic Survey of Canada, Department of the Interior, is the taking of precige levels throughout Canada from At- • lantic to Pacific. It can readily be seen that in the development of the country by the construction of dams and power houses, bridges, railways, canals, irrigation ditches and public buildings a 'Knowledge of the eleva- tion above sea level is a necessity. The Geodetic Survey publishes the elevation of points, that have been marked and named, correct to one- tenth of an inch in the ease of geo- graphical positions and to one -eight- ieth of an inch in the case of bench marks: This precise levelling demands the utmost care of the engineer and of every member of the survey party and at times calls for great physical effort and tenaoity of purpose. As a rule precise level lines are run over railway tracks or travelled highways. If it becomes necessary to run a line through a forest the trees and brush have to be cut down so as to give an uninterrupted line of sight between stations for the entire distance. Again, the intended line to be sur- veyed may lead over ice -capped mountains or through swamps or muskegs, with their myriads of vora- cious mosquitoes of a savage type tua- known in inhabited regions; or the line may cross rivers and broken country. Whatever the characteristics *of the locale may be or whatever difficulties in progress lie ahead these make no difference; the line has to be pushed through, with the result that often the same ground has to be measured over and over again until the exact figures have been arrived at. All surveys, whether geodetic or topographical, when in the field find In fog and smoke two of the worst enemies. The smell of a forest firs wafted to a survey party enmeshed In the bush gives rise to the fea- that in addition to whatever harm the fire may cause by destroying timber, it will also result, if the smoke blows their way, in interfering with their work and possibly causing them to be trapped within a circle of fires. I3EA'UTIFUL MADEIRA. Still Deserves Its Poetic Title of "The Enchanted Isle." Madeira has been aptly termed "The Enchanted Isle," and still de- serves its poetic title in spite of a re- cent land slide which occasioned con- siderable loss of life and propeller - Madeira is a land of sun and Rowers and blue skies which has becorae highly popular as a holiday resort with -those of means and leisure. What struck me most about it, writes a correspondent, was the ex- traordinary survival of customs at least five or six centuries old along- side modern methods and improve- ments. Up and down the narrow, twisting streets of cobble, patient pairs of bullocks still groan as they strain at sleds laden with passengers or merchandise, and driven by 112031 or boys in picturesque native cos- tume, while the most modern motor- car, and motor buses, carrying na- tives between Funchal and the vil- lages of the hinterland, whiz past them at a quite incredible pace. IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Two Motor Vehicles for Every Pit- ' teen of Population. Official records show that South Australia has approximately two mo- tor Vehicles; for every fifteen of the population. This proportion is great- er than In any other state of. the ' coramonwealth. Statistics for New. South Wales I put the number of motors there at 1 229,21g, or on vehicle for every 10.6 1 inhabitants. That state has the great- est number, but the eorresponding figure for ,Soutli Australia, with a populatigeraef 575,000, is 7.4, Whieh is much aetaleer than the percentage for Victoeatt jag year.

Thousands Express Gratitude On 'November 27, .1929, a letter dated Noverither 23, was received at the Sargon offices advising that in one week one drug firm thine had received orders for Sargon to be shipped to Cavite, 'Philippine Islands; Coca Solo, Canal Zone; Belebrook, Ireland, and Paris, France. Only recently a well-known resi- dent of Denver, Colorado, who had been restored to health by Sariom sent a full treatment to London, Eng- land, to his sister, who is the wife of an executive of one of the greatest retail drug firms in the British Em- pire. During the .past month there ap- peared in the Toronto papers the statement of a well-known World War veteran whose health had been greatly impaired while in the serv- ice, who stated among other things, that he owed ,his restoration to health to two bottles of Sargon sent him by a friend in Minneapolis. Letters Received from the Northwest From Minnesota and Wisconsin and throughout the Nbrthwest, many letters of this kind have been receiv- ed advising that users of Sargon are sending it to relatives hack in their old countries of Sweden and Norway. Many such letters and endorse- ments have been received from men of prominence, business and profes- sional men, mayors, state and county officials, and even ministers of the Gospel who have deemed it their duty to come forward and tell what Sar- gon has done for them. Only a short time ago, for instance, the president of one of the South's largest corporations walked into a Memphis drug store and purchased his. sixth bottle of Sargon. He had taken three bottles himself and stat- ed that he had received such wonder- ful benefit from it, he was getting the other for relatives and friends. Four Men in One Firm Are TakingeIt Another well-known business man who had also been greatly benefited by Sargon, recommended it to his husiness, associates and employees, so that four different MOT' in one :firm are taking Sargon as the resnit of wily one b'oetle originally sold. These are only a few of :thousands of .soch cas;es whicli have arisen since Sargon was pla,c,cd on She market in 1923.

Vir- 1 had chosen Frank :Keenan and Charlotte Walker for the leading roles, because I felt that they were most certain tc ecore in the charac- ters of *ar-tirae sontaere folk, The next neoessity was two .cliildren—just the riglat children—for the; roles of Bob and Betty. Here was a problem, Lor it was indicated that the children mustmatch edequately the charac- ters of the father and mother, and must have unusually fine voices. Child after child appeared and was rejected, until one day the late Wil- liam. Dean, then my assistant, eame to me with a 'note from Blanche Bates, asking Inc to see a little protege of hers. "She's a sweet, self-poesessed little thing," he told me, '`and has had some stage experience, though noth Ing of especial note." I told Mr. Bean to have the child memorize some lines, and instruct her to come to Inc on the stage after the next evening's perfermanee of "The Rose of the Rancho." Further to test whetber she bad poise under adverse conditions, I told him to ush- er her directly on to the stage with- out bringing her to meet me first. I was waiting in the dark auditor- ium the next evening. The sole il- lumination of the stage was the pilot light—a single incandescent which is kept burning continuously eguen the rem.aining lights are off. Soon there was a etir in the wings, and I saw Mr. Dean motion the child forward. Her intelligent eyes searched the darkness until she made out my fig- ure M an aisle seat, well forevarcl. She smiled, thoroughly unperturbed, - inclined her head in greeting, and said: 'I have memorized some lines from Patsy, Poor, a character in 'Human Life,' if you wish to hear them," Though I was charmed by the child's appearance, I carefully kept any note of encouragement out of my voice, merely. saying, "Proceed, please. I will be glad to hear them." Then, without further preliminar- ies and with the utmost self-confi- denee, the child began voicing the lines. And as she spoke, I marvelled at the clearness of her diction. There was no slurring of consonants, no nervous uncture of words. I watched her hands in the glare of the pilot -light, but there was not the slightest evidence of nervousness, The expressive fingers moved in time with her gesticulations. Her eyes gleamed with interest. I was sincere when I said, "That's very good," at the end. I knew then I had found my 'Betty 'Warren,' and I told her to come to the studio next day. "But erh.at a name for the stage!" I exclaimed when She appeared and announced simply, "I am Gladys Smith." "Yes, it is pretty terrible, isn't it?" she said, laughing niter she had set- tled herself in one of my largest chairs. "But daddy's name was 'Smith' and. mother cliose the 'Gladys' part of it." "One of my relatives married a man named 'Pickford'," she suggest- ed tentatively. " 'Mary Pickford!' "' I ejaculated. "It was made to order for you. That is it; the perfect name for you!" With the close of "The Warrens ot Virginia," Mary ca,me to me and said: "Unless you advise against L., I think I will try motion pictures for a while.

Sprinkle the top lightly with geated cheese and place in the oven until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. This shoula be eq- ually good with chicken 'instead of turkey. Lima Beans , Lima Beans were served with this and were more delicious than any' lima beans that we, had ever tasted. The flavour was elusive and we could not fathom it, so we aske.d the wait- er if he knew. He was just as. ignor- ant as we were, but at our su.ggestion he asked the cook, who very oblig- ing -1y told how they :were cooked The beans were soaked over night with carrots. onions, and ham skins. They were cooked until soft which takes. almost an hour, with the vegeta.bles and ham skins,,and then drained But- ter and salt and pepper were added to the beans which were served:with- out the other vegetables. 1 tried this out at home, and used 1 carrot and 1 small onion. To ,get ,the ham skin I bought a thick slice of smoked ham which I• cooked in milk. If ham was not available, a slice of bacon should make a good substitute. Southern Ham Spread a slice . of ham sparingly with mustard and sprinkle with brown sugar. Put in a baking dish and cover with milk I3ake about 30 niinntes • in a moderate oven, 350. Gravy may be made if desired, by thickening the milk remaining- in the pan with flour. Serve with baked po- tatoes, and a leafy vegetable such as cabbage or spinach, fresh -or canned. Home Made Candy There is an art about making can- dy and it is no .harder to make good smooth candy than it is to make the poor sugary kind. After. having bought a box of candy at a candy sale, and finding so many varieties hard and sugary, 1 thought possibly' a few hints as to candy making might prove useful. Teach the children to make candy as the home made kind is sure to be pure. Then it provides them with an occupation on stormy days, and inci- dentally teaches them a little about cooking. There is tib reason why boys ehould not make as good cancler las girls. Maple Cream 2 cups brown sugar etatibPleislipilok'on butter I to3li)ooti ranulla Nuts if desired One of the difficult things about making candy is to keep it from burn- ing.
