Climate Gives Canadians Pep Hollywood Photographer is Impressed by Canadian -born Stars ' Stanley Cortez, a director of photography in Hollywood, said in a newspaper interview at Toron- to recently that the Canadian clim- ate may have something to (Io with the success of Canadian screen stars. After sniffing the cold, clear air on leaving his train Mr. Cor- tez said the atmosphere in Can- ada accounted for the fact that, such stars as Norma Shearer, Deanna Durbin, Gloria Jean and Mary Pickford were not temper - mental and. that "they seem to have so much more pep." The director was accompanied by his wife, the former Mildred Rehn of Vancouver, whom he met when she was in pictures in Hol- lywood.

Prompt control of the disease by means of diet and insulin may be imposed if the condition is dis- covered early, it was stated. Fat people especially are subject to diabetes, acocrding to recogniz- ed experts, and usually between the ages of 40 and 60 years. More women than men are affected by the disease, Early symptoms of diabetes were said to be excessive hunger and thirst with loss of Weight. Accom- panying these usually are irritabil- ity rritability and tiredness. Older sufferers often are trouble' with boils and carbuncles.

Old Theory About Shifty - Eyed Creeks Has Now to Be Revised in Light of Latest Experiments In the next poker game, try being suspicious of the player with the steady -looking eyes. He is likely to be the fellow who is bluffing, Or., in the more serious game of life, look for that kind of eye in the person you suspect of deceit- fulness and lying. This goes contrary to the come ]non belief that a deceitful person has shifty eyes. The belief may be true for professional crooks, but some new eye tests by Dr. Freder- ick Ii, 13errien, Colgate University psychologist, show that about 75 per cent of ordinary persons steady their eyes when trying to deceive. Forty persons have taken the tests, Half of them committed a "laboratory crime." The other half were innocent. The crime consist- ed either of killing a rat in the laboratory or sneaking out to cora- mit fictitious burglary. Both guilty and innocent' were questioned as suspects in one or the other of misdeeds. They were quizzed while in front of an oph- thalmograph, an instrument which makes a photographic record of eye 'movement. • Electric railways in Canada carried a total of 632,533,152 passengers in 1939 compared with 629,778,738 in the preced- ing year. • 1IAV tXDU HEARD?
