Wool Salvaged There will be little. loss to those sheeprnenmen who shipped their wool to the Canadian Co -Operative \\'ool Growers Ltd., as a result of the fire which destroyed completeiyr the Wes- ton warehouse a short time ago. Very little of the 3,400,000 pounds ref wool in storage at the time, was burned, though all the wool was ser- iouslydamaged bscorching ,corchi;ng and smoke, and further damage was caus- ed by water poured into the building to quench the blaze. To check heat- ing, which immediately followed soak- ing, the wool was removed to a near- by field and spread out loosely in the sun to dry and this quick action resulted in a salvage of well over 8 million pounds of wet and damaged wool. The sale of this, added to the insurance carried, officials' state, will balance ..a reasonable market value of the wool at the time of the fire.

T. Britten, in charge of the swimmers who hung up several new marks at the meeting. He thought the Games would' be of in ealcuiable value to the Empire as a whole, since they brought all parts of it together at one time and one place. The maiden voyage of the new' Canadian Pacific flagship of the Pacific, the Empress :of Japan, from Yokohama to Victoria, was completed ibe eight days, six hours and 23 minutes, beating the 1m- iamss of Canada record for the run, established in 1918,.by four hours and thirty minutes. E. W. Beatty, chairman and president of the rail- way company, wired congratuIa- tions to Captain. E. Aikman, general supetiintendent of the Company's Pacific steamship fleet. Records also fell on the Atlantic when the company's liner Duchess of York travelled between Greenock, Scot- land, and Quebec City in 5 days, 17 hours and 20 minutes, even better- ing the time hung-up by the Duch- ess of Richmond on her previous - trip from Belfast to Quebec, which is a hundred miles shorter.. Speaging at a banquet given by the Saint Sot,a, Board of Trade to inaugurate the service of the new Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Helene, an the Saint John -Digby route, E. W. Beatty, cbairman and president of the railway, said he thought Canada would respond more quickly than other copntries,. even wealthier than herself, to mea- sures takenby-responsiblegovern- ments and large industrial organi- zations to alleviate unemployment, He added that :in his opinion the Maritime Provinces were particu- larly favorably placed in this res - pest. Dressed in white and blue kirtles and the traditional Normandy calls, fifty Louisiana girls, descendants of the Acadians expelled from Nova Scotia 175 years ago, assisted in the celebrations at Grand Pre 're- G ently, at which many Acadians living in the united States and Canada attended. The United States, France, Great Britain and Canada were represented at the celebrations which were held on the site of the old village and around the Memorial Chureh made ever famous by Longfellow's poem • Bvrangeline.

WORLD, SHAKING UANDS Foreign School Children Taught to Be Friends, Eleven German school girls recent- ly e jo ed thehospialt#y of English school children at Tyldesley under a scheme organized by the German Peace Soeiet3", And an return thirteen children from Tyldesley ]lave been entertained by German children in I•iatnbury and in the neighboring town of Bergedorf. The German Peace Society has been arranging such pzcltanges" with children of other nations for several years past, particularly in Denmark. But the desire to come to England is ver?strong, and the num- ber of boys and girls wanting to snake the visit is very great. English is taught in the elementary schools y of Hambur t c.men and the mei h- B g, g borhood from the ager of ten upwards. The ground was prepared in Octo- ber last by Herr Sari S ruwe, of the Peace Society, who visited London and conferred with the Board of Edu- cation. He was able to arrange for six .' exebanges:e • Thirty-nine boys from Hamburg and Bergedorf spent month with g Ptame boys ofh Southend-on-Sea i h teS nd S Hg School and entertained them in turn. Fifteen girls from Bremen '`exchang- ed" exchan-ed" with Southend girls. A whole form from a Hamburg and Bergedorf spent a month with boys of the Southend-on-Sea High School and entertained them in turn. Fifteen girls from. Bremen "exchang- ed" with Southend girls. A whole form from a Hamburg g children have exchanged with twenty from a mixed school at Harringay, and twenty-five Hamburg children with twenty-five of Birmingha.n. Sen- ior students from Bradford have re- eentiy exchanged with German schol- ais at Giessen and Bonn. "In Tyldesley," said Herr Strume to an Old Country correspondent, "the whole community appears to have backed the experiment. It was incredible how the very poor people of that district have welcomed us. A committee (on which many sit who are not personally' concerned) ar- ranged outings for us almost every' day; "We visited Liverpool and New Brighton, and we were invited by the Society of Friends to Manchester.. We also went to Chester, where the girls were much impressed by the cathe- dral, thebiggeat theyhad �building ever been in. The girls went down a mine—almost a unique experience for a woman in Tyldesley, for we understand that only twelve wanien in the ,place have ever gone down the pit. We also visited a cotton mill. "The system should be extended further as a means of getting all na- tions nearer to each other. There is need of the personal touch. Even in the occupied -countries there was no enmity between the occupying troops and the population. "I am told that the great pride of the British soldiers at Cologne is that the Rhineland cheered them as they left. In the present :state of the world's, affairs it is necessary for all nations to get into personal touch with each other and to feel that frontiers are only artificial barriers between them:" The cost of such exchanges to each child is limited to the fare between England and Germany, together with the expense of entertaining his or her "opposite number in this country. THE TELTI G TOWER. mon Reports Pisa Is Only Fourteen Feet Out of True. How long will the Leaning Tower of Pisa eontinue to deserve its name? This question has been asked ever since a commissioie, appointed by Signor Mussolini to go into the ques- tion of the tower's safety, reported the other day. According to their measurements, the top of the tower is fourteen feet out of the true verti- cal line» Now, whea measurements were first: taken, 100 years .ago or ko, by two British experts, the "tilt" of the tower was 15 ee feet. In 1910 fur- ther measurements were taken, and it was ,announced that the tower was 16?§ feet of the straight. Assuming the measurements to be correct, the Leaning Tower now leen 21 feet less than it did twenty year ago. It is straightening up_ However, the Italian Government is alive to the importance to preserv- ing :the tilt of the tower. The sub- soil on which the tower stands is to be treated with Injections which, it is expeeted, will make the building "stay put." Why the tower originally departed from the straight is a mystery: It is fairly certain" that nothing of the sort was ,intended by the architects, but .:the tower took a long time to build —176 years—and something probably went wrong during this period Stone Age_ Graves. The excavations that have been go - ©n in different parts of East Prussia for a year or mere have mot's brought to light 23 graves dating from the Stone Age, some 5,000 years ago. The remains lie in richly ornamented stone coffins, and many stone axes have been found ,at depths indicating the probability that many either graves from the same period will stili be found. At Wosnitzen, near Sensburg, a burial place dated front the days of the Roman Caesars has been discov- ered. The bodies were cremated and the aches burled in covered urns.

L41.Lle feneing, One of the first attemp,s at induc- ing a leopard to act was a scene in winch a leopard was supposed to come upon tveranda f he o a house and, prowling along it, startle a sleep- ing dog, writes Wyant Davis Hub- bard in Tit -Bits. That sounds very simple, We mad the veranda and the front of a house. We surrounded this wi_h a twelve foot fence of heavy stock wire. In front of the veranda tie ran this fenc- ing out in triangular shape. The base was the long veranda. The peak was the point from which the cameras were -o photograph the action, if any. The sides were outside the view of the lenses, so all that one saw on looking through the :camera was a house and :veranda, upon which were a table and a few chairs. At one corner we: made a hole in the 'wire and backed against it a crate containing a leopard. He was not a very large or old one and we had had him for some weeks. We thought he would slink up and down the veranda, under and behind •the furniture, in an endeavor to get out of sight and be as far away from the cameras as possible. How lit:.le we knew or understood leopards! In our enthusiasm for real- ism -.we had placed a large dog on the veranda. He was a big fellow and supposedly brave and savage. Our hope was that the leopard would sneak along the veranda and wake the dog, which would turn on it and drive it ' off, In other words, a pic- ture of the faithful faintly dog driv- ing away the villainous leopard while its master slept. We would tint the film later to make it look like a night scene when projected. Everything was ready. I held my rifle ready, prepared for any emerg- ency. At a nod from the cameramen 1. signalledto natives to draw up the. door ` of the crate. Cameras clicked` as film began to run. Very slowly, down is one corner,the leopard's nose and then its head came into view. It snarled and looked about. A moment later it shot out of the crate and charged straight across the open at me. The wire stopped it, al- though there was a sickening buig- ing and creaking. Foiled, the leopard dashed back and into the crate. Three times this performance was repeated. The fourth time it came out the leopard seemed to have decided that charging the wire was a useless pas- time. Slinking, it stole along the ere- randa close to the wall- This was: just tite action we wanted. ;We all held our breaths as the leopard pass- ed behind the table and approached the dog, 'which was sail tying there, None of us knew just what to expect, out from I.:: way the leopard had been acting a is ^t seemed the tamest thing that twain happen. The dog raised its head. Looking over its shoulder, it saw the leopard coming from under the table. The dog gave a startled yelp and, leap- ing up, 'fled for the safety of us hu- mans. The leopard just watched It go and then kept on: its way and smelled all about the closed door. It. turned and started` back. Then the window caught its attention. Slowly the leopard rose on Ls hind legs and, standing up, pawed at the wire -cover- ing and scratched at the ledge. This was more than we had ever dre`:.med of getting. So far we had a picture of a leopard charging, a leo- pard stalking along a veranda, scar- ing .a dog, sniffing at a door. and finally standing up and scratching at a window. What next'? what I feast expected. It dropped down .from the window and started forward. Suddenly it saw the natives on toll of its crate. Ina 4 _.cantly 3 flattened and, Se. a d, Crouching; charged —wand rushed right into its crate. The natives slammed the, door down, and we not only had our pic- ture but the leopard was safe and'1 available for more work. By cutting out the dog and the charging parts of the picture we could put together » a very nice short scene of •a leopard on:a veranda. This was one of the easiest and most satisfactory experiences we had with wfld animals as actors, But if anyone thinks that it is easy to stated and be charged by an angry leopard, even with Swire between he is wrong lndustrions Sparrows. ,1 1�. 11 0 0 F LL S 'ar"bulcsdayi, September 25th, 1930 c 0 GLOVES.

It is one of the communicable diseases and by this ire mean it is caused by a germ call- ed the tubercule bacillus which is passed from the sick to the well. There are two sources. of the dis- ease—persons suffering from the tu- berculosis and tuberculous animals, More than one case of tuberculosis fregeuntly occurs in a family but this does not mean that the disease is hereditary. It usually indicates that the disease has been passed from one memberof the family to another. When a case of tuberculosis is found in a child, a careful inquiry will nearly always reveal another, case in the hone or amongst -relatives or friends with whom the child has been in freqeuent contact. Tuberculosis occurs in the lower animals, and cows are very frequently found to be affected with the disease. Tubercule Bacilli may gain eetrance to the milk as it leaves the cow's ud- der or by way of dirt off the cow during milking. Children are suscep- tible to the germs which causes the tuberculosis in the cove.s l' Tu. is known as the bovine type and differs , soncewliat from the human type. Children must: be protected from infection from. these two, sources if, tuberculosis is to be prevetted in freely are protected from any danger ofcontracting tuberculosis from the milk, The danger from human beings can be overcome providing that those who have the disease knowit and take the necessary care to prevent the Spreading of infection. The germ of 'tuberculosis leaves the body in the sputum of the sick person, and it is the dissemination of this germ laden sputum that is responsible for the spread of tuber- culosis from one human being to an- other. Coughing,sneezing and spitting in a careless manner are responsible for the spread of the germs of tubercu- losis, because in these actions a spray of droplets is scattered, and so the seed of disease, is spread. The ease who spends some time in sanitorium learns there how to live and how to contrpj the cough, or if it necessary for him to cottglc, how to collect and destroy the sputum so as not to en- danger others.: All adults should protect children by the observance of common decen- cy in refraining from spitting.
