The Michigan Kid
by Rex Beach .
Rose Morris was at once the rich-
est and the prettiest girl in Dover,
Michigan. She drove a sleek, fat lit-
tle pony hitched to a marvelous wick-
er dogcart, the envy of every child in
town, and to Jimmy Rowan she rep-
resented all that was both desirable
and unattainable.
By the time he was fifteen he was
hopelessly in love with her and he
carved hearts and arrows on all the
trees in his yard and initialed them
with interlocking R's and J's. He
wrote her passionate misspelled love
notes and in words of fire he told her
of his undying devotion. He never
sent the notes, of course, and his
declarations were only whispered to
the empty air, for he still remained
"the Rowan kid"; his people were
desperately poor and he was cursed
with a sensitive pride.
Jim was surprised one day to hear
that Mr. 1-Iiram Morris had "gone out
of business" and was leaving for the
West. What that meant the boy did
not know, but he understood that the
Morris fortune was not what it had
been. Rose and her mother remained
in Dover. They lived on much as
usual and they referred vaguely to
those large interests which kept Mr.
Morris away from home. But the pony
and dogcart were gone and so were
the high-stepping bays. It was while
Jim was working his way through col-
lege that they quietly moved away.
The Morris house sold for barely
enough to pay the mortgage.

make himself rich for her sake. In
time this became a fixed idea with
him and he quit college and went to
work, savagely, It took him quite a
while, however, to realize that riches
are not come by in a hurry and that
he was getting nowhere.
He had lost track of the. Morrises
completely—there was no use of keep-
ing in touch with them—but he still
had his day -dreams, he still thought
of himself as Rose's prince who soon-
er or later would search her out and
seat her upon a throne. Depression
seized him occasionally when he saw
how hopeless was the task he had set
for himself.
At such times he grew desperate
and he told himself that no price was
too great to pay for success; he long-
ed for some opportunity of becoming
suddenly rich and vowed that he
would sell his soul for such a chance.
The chance came finally, or it seem-
ed to come, with the news of the Klon-
dike discovery. Jim joined the first
rush to the Yukon and he arrived in
Dawson City with the firm determin-
ation to make a fortune somehow,
anyhow. Here again however, he
learned that money was not to be
had for the asking.
New Code of Morals
Placer mining was a hazardous un-
dertaking, with the odds a thousand
to one against success. Education
counted for little in a country where
men were judged on a pick -and -shovel
basis and paid for the actual work
they did. Jim saw that here was not
the place in which to earn a fortune;
here was nothing but speculation,
chance, a gamble either with men or
with nature.
In order to beat the game one had
to risk all, then double his winnings
and risk them again and again. To
gamble herp was not a sin. It _was 4,116
daily practice of everybody. Men
gambled with death when they hit the
trail; they gambled again when they
staked their labor and their time

LESSON X.
SERVING WITH WHAT WE HAVE
Mark 6:1.13,
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—Winter, A.D. 29,
Place.—The events .of the first
half of our lesson occurred in the
City of Nazareth, where Jesus lived
until -he 'began his public , ministry.
The twelve disciples were sent out
into Galilee probably from the city
of Capernaun,
1, And ho went out from thence.
That is, he went out from Caperna-
um, where so much of his work was
carried on. And he cometh into his
own country; and his disciples fol-
low him. The Lord was regarded
by the Galileans as a Nazarene; his
birth ate Bethlehem was forgotten,
and the village where his family liv-
ed (v.3t) and where he' had passed
las youth (Luke 4:16) might well be
called his 'country.
2, And when the sabbath was
come, he began to teach in the syna-
gogue. And many hearing him were
astonished. It is to their credit that
they were listening, which is more
than every one does who goes to
church. Saying, Whence hath this
man these things? and, What is the
wisdom that is given unto this man,
and what mean such mighty works
wrought\ by his hands? "A change
had come over Jesus, for which they
could not account; the workman had
become the rabbi and the worker of
miracles. Of his wisdom they had
evidence in his discourse; But whence
and what was it?
The Village Carpenter '
3. Is not this the carpenter? The
village carpenter in our Lord's time
held the position of the modern •vil-
Iage blacksmith. Here is one of the
few places where the veil is remov-
ed from his early ' life. He was
brought up to the trade of a village
carpenter. He worked with Joseph
in building and repairing boats for
the lake, in making furniture for the
synagogue, and, according to an ear-
ly testimony, in shaping plows and
yokes for oxen,
The son of Mary, and brother of
James, and Joses, and Judas, 'and Si -
Mon? and are not his sisters here
with us? And they were offended in
him. The last people to recognize a
'prophet are always his kindred and
his countrymen. "Far -away (birds
have fine feathers." Men resent it
as a kind of slight on themselves that
the other, who was one of them but
yesterday, should be so far above
them to -clay.
The a dens of Nazareth 110 segs
Jesus gift up, and to thein He would
be "the carpenter's son" still. It is
easy to blame thein; but it is better to
learn the warning in their words,
end to take care that we aro not
blind to some true messenger of God
just because we have been blessed
with close companionship with him.
9.. And Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without honor, save in
his own country, and among his own
kin, and in his own house, "How
true it is that home and one's home
;7
t —. ".rethe hardest places in which
to witness! The Nazarenes did not
see how a carpenter could be a pro-
phet."" But why not? It is not one's
surroundings which determine his
character, but one's self.
No Mighty Work
5, And he could there do no mighty
work, save that he laid his hands up-
on a few sick folk, and healed them.
Jesus required faith for the perform-
ance of his miracles, and that was
wanting here; nay, there was a posi-
tive disbelief, no mere doubt. Here
the genuine unbelief of the nation
reached its climax.
6. And he marvelled because of
their unbelief. And he went round
about the villages teaching. That
which amazed our Lord was the ut-
ter unreasonableness of these peo-
ple. The one thing that was keep-
ing them from receiving Christ as a
prophet come from God was that they
had decided in their own minds that
the man who once was a carpenter
in the midst of them, could not,
somehow, be also a great teacher,
and a worker of miracles.
7. And he calleth unto 4im the
twelve, and began to send them forth
by two and two. Though Jesus has
been rejected at Nazareth, and only
a few there were saved by his minis-
try, yet he is not' at all discouraged;
ho sends out his disciples on similar
work, knowing there is no other hope
for men but his gospel. The twelve
apostles ha d It e e n previously
brought together as a band of dis-
ciples. More and more they were
devoting all of their time to service
tinder the Master's" direction. In
these mission journeys of the newly
chosen apostles we see how well it
suited the objects in view,"that they
should go in pairs. A man by him-
self has many dangers. The pres-
ence of his colleague would recall
him to his true position and remind
him that he was not about his own
work but his Master's. And he gave
them authority over the unclean
A—C
Ili
spirits. To manifest a great power
great enough to cast out demons
would be one of the greatest evid-
ences of the uniqueness of their min-
istry and the pre-eminence of the
Lord in whose name they were speak-
ing.
8. And he charged them that they
should take nothing for their jour-
ney, save a staff only; no brehd, no
wallet, no money in their purse.
9, But to go shod with sandals;
and, said he, put not on two coats.
• All these directions are not meant
to inflict hardship on 'the disciples,
but to relieve them of ail worry re-
garding their bodily needs.
How To Be A Guest
10. And he said unto them, Where-
soever ye enter into a house, there
abide till ye depart thence. The
house was not to be chosen at hap-
hazard, but by a careful selection.
Having made their choice, they were
to be content with the fare it offered,
and not to change their lodging un-
necessarily. Jesus took for granted
that there would always be found at
every place at least one gdod man
with a warm heart, who would wel-
come the messengers of the Kingdom
to his house and table, for the pure
love of God and of the truth,
11. And whatsoever place shall not
receive you, and they hear you not,
as ye go forth thence, shake off the
dust that is under your feet for a
testimony unto them. The act en-
joined is a symbolic one meaning that
they did not even let the dust of the
places where these people lived ad-
here to them, i.e., that they renounc-
ed all intercourse with them.
12. And they went out, and preach-
ed that men should repent. This is
the message that had come from the
lips of John the Baptist (Mark 1:4),
and had been proclaimed by Christ
himself (Mark 1:15), Repentance
is not only recognizing one'g sins and
being t? my sorry for them, but actu-
ally turning from them.
13. And they cast out many de-
mons, and anointed with oil many
that were sick, and healed them.
The application of oil was for psy-
chologica) purposes, an aid in induc-
ing faith -in the patients. The sick
persons to whom the oil was sup-
plied by the apostles, though others
had applied oil to them repeatedly,
were made to perceive that now the
heralds of Jesus were taking them
in hand, these men who, like their
Master, -had healed so many,

When Dogs Do Bark
A dog's bark may be worse than
his bite—but it can also he a big fac-
tor in the success of a. radio program.
For instance: In the Sunday evening
broadcast- of "Heroic Dogs," heard
over CBL at 7:30 p.m., the barking ,
of a dog figures largely on every broad-
cast. A couple of weeks ago after
the program was off the air, the phone
rang. A voice said "We have a little
bot on in our ]tone as to whether it
was a real dog on your program to-
night." As a reply the man in the
studio lkrought the "bark" to the
phone where the "dog" obliged by
barking—and we imagine that the
man at the outer end of the line is
still puzzled as to ]tow the bet should
bo settled. For his information the
bark was faked by Stan Francis—who
not so long ago fooled yours truly
with a lion's roar when the script
called for a trip through a zoo.

stances must be in an available form
'for plant use. There are many kinds
of fertilizers on the market today, all
ot which are dependable, if used ac-
cording to kind and plant food con-
tent on the one hand, and soil and
crop requirements on the other, Every
buyer of fertilizers should study these
factors carefully because the proper
application of then means so much in
obtaining best results.
Tho recommendations of the Provin-
cial Fertilizer Councils are a safe
guide its this respect and may be ob.
tained from tho Department of Agri-
culture for the provinces.
CANADIAN EGGS TO BRITAIN
Fresh, Canadian, winter -produced
eggs will seen bo making their debut
on the breakfast tables of the people
in Great Ilritain. Tho first shipment of
such eggs left Montreal on January
5. and totalled fifty corrugated paper
boxes, each box containing 15 one -doz-
en individual cartons, the eggs being
Grade A large. Never before have the
eggs been exported from Canada in
one -dozen cartons. On January 11 a
carload of fresh eggs packed in stan-
dard 30 -dozen cases left Montreal aucl
was loaded in the S.S. Beaverbrae at
St John N.B., on January 12 for Eng-
land. This shipment was collected
from 15 farmers cooperative egg and
poultry associations in Quebec and in
Eastern Ontario; also from some
wholesalers. It is expected similar
shipments will follow from other dif•
ferent points In Ontario.
W. A. Brown, Chief, Poultry Ser.
vices, Dominion Department of Agri-
culture, who was associated with the
shipments states that the British mar-
ket will not get any fresher eggs
from any European country than the
eggs in the two recent shipments.
There is, he says, an opportunity in
the British market for Canadian win-
ter produced eggs, and, if such ship-
ments can be made profitably, the
Canadian producer will benefit.
SOIL -TESTING IS IMPORTANT
Agricultural leaders of Canada have
become increasingly worried in recent
years over soil depletion and while the
conditions in Ontario are not nearly
as grave as in some parts of the Can-
adian West, it is common knowledge
that many Ontario farms have been
mined until there is but little fertility
remaining. The Ontario Department of
Agriculture is fully alive to the dan-
ger with the result that the Depart-
ment, through the O.A.C., is undertak-
ing an enlarged program of research
and demonstration work for 1938 in
soil fertility.
In discussing the situation, Dr. G. I.
Christie, President of the O.A.C,, of
Guelph, points out that many Ontario
soils have been farmed more than 100
years. Some have been wisely handled
and have become increasingly produc-
tive. But on the other hand, many
have been thoroughly mined; soils
have become poor, hard to work, and
give low yielding crops.
"On other farms, while good prac-
tice has been followed, fertility has
become unbalanced," says Dr. Chris-
tie. "One or more elements have been
reduced in available quantities. It may
be phosphate, potash, or nitrogen. In
many eases it has boon found to be
boron, manganese or magnesium. It is
through recognition of these problems
that O.A.C. has undertaken an exten-
sive research program."
Pasture studies carried out by Ot-
tawa and O.A.C. Chemistry Dept. have
brought in Western and Eastern Ont-
ario. Following up these surveys, the
fields are fertilized and cattle and
sheep are used to check the results.
These animals are being fed balanced
rations this winter with special atten-
tion to mineral needs. These expert -
tants are under way at Ailsa Craig,
llolyrocd and other points.
As part of this work in the field, a
special experiment is being' carried
out in Oxford County with a group of
35 farmers. The Agricultural Repres-
entative, Il.7g. Gren;c, fit co-operation
with the Ontario Livestock Branch
and O.A.C. has supplied minerals for
the cattle and has made an accurate
test of all milk produced and supplied
to cheese factories. Rest:lts indicate
larger returns of milk, and the condi-
tion of the animals has been improv-
ed generally.

Richgreen Gold Mines
To Start Drilling Soon
It was decided at a directors' meet-
ing of the Richgreen Gold Mines held
in Stratford on Friday night to com-
mence diamond drilling at the mine
within the next six weeks or two
months, according to a statement is-
sued by C. N. Greenwood, president
of the company.
The Richgreen' Gold Mines derived
its name from those of two of the
directors who are well-known in
Stratford and vicinity. They are
Charles E. Richardson of St. Marys,
and C, N, Greenwood, the first part
of each of the above names being ta-
ken to make up that of the mining
company.
Other directors of the company
are: J. H. R. Elliott, Blyth; Dr, W.
E, Geiger, Waterloo; J, T. Maguire,
Clifford; H. Passmore, St, Marys;
C. H. Smith, Listowel; John Craig,
secy.-treas., Toronto, and W. E, Stan-
ley, general manager, Toronto.
Work on the property has been
carried on for the past twelve
months, Mr. Stanley said yesterday.'
The mine is located a mile and a
quarter from the town of Beardmore
in • the Little Long Lac area. Mr.
Stanley said that up to .the present
time they have done about 1,800 feet
of trenching. There are six perman-
ent buildings on the property, with
accommodation to house between 35
and 40 men.
The company was founded a year
,ago last February, The area in which
the mine is located was virgin ter-
ritory four years ago and today there
are 10 producing mines in the dis-
trict. The population of the town
of Beardmore has increased ten -fold
.in the past two years. Several deep
test pits have been put down in the
mine with very good assay values,
the general manager assures, One
!vein has been traced for over 1100
feet and is as wide as five feet five
inches with assays of over $20 a ton.
l It is the intention of the Board to
carry on operations on a bigger scale
than last year, he said.
The capitalization of the company
. is 3,000,000 shares, with 1,175,000
' shares issued, 800,000 shares of this
amount being pooled.

DRIVE SAFELY!
Last year the holiday traffic on our streets and highways ran up a terrible
toll of seven killed and 215 injured in 145 accidents! We must not have a
repetition this year.
One thoughtless move on your part may bring tragedy into your own
or somebody else's home. Before you take the wheel, therefore, resolve
to use the utmost care on the highway, and to observe every traffic rule:
—Drive at a safe speed at all times.
•
—Keep to the right hand sideof the road.
--Never pass another vehicle on a hill or curve, or 'any point where
the view is obstructed.
—Do not park on the highway.
--Signal the car behind, you in plenty of time before you turn,
—Observe all road signs and signals.
—See that your car is in safe driving condition.
In the name of humanity drive safely on this, the first holiday of summer.
Help make the highways safe for yourself and others,
If you drink, don't drive
The hand of the law is dealing
""-lieverely with "drunken drivers:
The maximum penalty for driving
while drunk is three months' im-
prisonment. If you . have taken
even one drink, don't drive.

A Comment
On the More Important Events
of the Week.
By ELIZABETH EEDY
IT IS WRITTEN: He means what
be says, does Herr Adolf Hitler, The
Tuehrer told the world several years
ago, when he wrote "Mein Kampf"
(My Struggle), the story of his life
and his ambitions for Germany, just
What he planned to do with Europe
once he got going, His February coup
In Austria, to all intents and purposes
annexing that state, needn't have
Startled us—it was all written in the
ok, And it we want to know what
Ritter's next move will be, the book
tells us that too.
His tremendous February 20th
speech in Berlin, outlining the Nazi
foreign policy, checks with everything
that he has previously said.
Hitler is nicely on his way. Noth-
ing can now stop his proposed drive
against Czechoslovakia, the Balkans
and the Ukraine, except strong press -
Um exerted from outside by the dem•
"ooratio countries acting in concert.
A gloomy outlook indeed, because
the last thing in the world that can
be said of the democracies is that
they are united in purpose.
- THE SHOW GOES ON: During the
anco-Prussian war the people of
arcs continued to flock to the thea -
ares of that great metropolis for
amusement, The entertainment bust -
fleas boomed as mon and women did
their utmost to forget, in their leis-
ure hours, the battle front and the
horrors of conflict.
All down through history it has
been the same. The show has gone
On though the enemy be hammering
at the gates.
Today in Madrid, theatres are pack-
ed every night. Citizens of Spain's
Capital, living where death may come
down from the clouds at any moment,
itnd solace in the movies.
RESEARCH BODY: Dr. Frederick
panting, discoverer of the insulin
treatment of diabetes and chief of the
Eanting Instit Its at Toronto, has been
named to head a ' committee which
will undertake the job of correlating
all medical research in Canada and of
making it available to those con -
earned. The committee, acting under
e auspices of the National Research
Council of Canada, will see to it that
"cures" for cancer and other dread
diseases undergo thorough investiga-
tion.
LENTEN SPIRIT: Doing without
cigarettes for Lent? Candy? Gum?
The Windsor Daily Star went the
rounds of the clergymen, both Cath-
olic and Protestant in that city, found
all to be agreed that denying oneself
pleasures during Lent means only a
partial observance of the Lenten
spirit.
Toronto ministers expressed very
similar views. Said one: "There is a
definite place for the Lenten season
tin which wo should seek a deeper con-
secration of m lives." Again: "Self-
denial is worthless unless practised
as a disciplinary measure "
INDIA WARNS: As well as a dom-
estic _crisis at home, Great Britain is
:facing trouble in the Mediterranean,
Egypt, Palestine, the Far East. And
now a civil disobedience campaign
' breatens in Indian.
Subhas Chandra Bose, radical Na-
tionalist, opened the 51st session of
the Indian Congress Party last week,
' took over from Gandhi the fight for
Indian independence. "Our goal," de-
clared Mr. Bose, "is an 'independent
India arra, in my view, the goal can
be attain 'd 'only through a federal re-
public wherein the provinces and
,3tates will be willing partners."
Attaching the Indian federation he
continued: "We have to fight the fed-
eration •by all legitimate, peaceful
means,' but in the last report, we may
have 4o turn to mass civil disobed-
ience"

THE "CLIVEDEN" SCT: Did you
know that in the past couple of years,
.or even months, there has grown up
in England a set of pro -German aris-
tocrats who exert a tremendous in-
fluence on British policies? Headed
by Lady Nancy Astor, the clique,
which includes important government
officials, has been meeting for week-
end conferences at the gorgeous As-
tor estate, "Cliveden," on the banks
of the river Thames above Windsor,
Plans are formulated at these week-
end parties, so far-reaching in their
consequences that the set has come
to be known as "Britain's Second
Foreign Office," The London "Times,"
owned by the Asters, and several oth-
er powerful newspapers in Great
Britain, are mouthplecea of the "Clive -
den" sot,
Lord Halifax, who immediately on
Capt. Anthony Eden's resignation
from the Foreign Secretaryship was
mentioned as his successor, is one of
the set's leading lights. He admires
Hitler, wants friendship with Ger-
many, and favors extending financial
credits to the Reich.
I News In Brief I
Call For British Election
LONDON.—British labor united this
week and threw the full force of its
most powerful bodies behind a de-
mand for an immediate general elec-
tion on the issue of British collabora-
tion with Italy and Germany.
While Premier Neville Chamberlain
was assuring the House of Commons
that Britain was re -opening negotia-
tions with Fascist Italy purely in the
interests of general European pence
and not under force of threats or coer-
cion, the heads of the throe most pow-
erful bodies met at Transport House
in London and issued a manifesto.
The manifesto reaffirmed uncom-
promising opposition to any agreement
with Germany and Italy on the basis
indicated by Mr. Chamberlain, and
challenged the Government to submit
the issues to an immediate general
election.
Louis Remains Champion
NEW YORK (Madison Square Gar-
dens) — Heavyweight Champion Joe
Louis, fighting with the ferocity of a
maddened lion, knocked out wild -
swinging Nathan Mann in the third
round of their scheduled 15 -round title
fight before more than 19,000 thunder-
ing fans.
It was the first time in the cham-
pion's career that he ever cut loose
with such a murderous barrage of
blasting. The amazing fury of his fists
battered into virtual unconsciousness
the bull -shouldered, dark-haired Ital-
ian who had dared to match punches
with him.
Japanese Menace In B.C.
OTTAWA.—Canadian fishermen can-
not ply the waters of the mouth of
the Fraser River without risking their
lives at the hands of hostile Japan-
ese, Thomas Reid (Liberal, New West-
minster) charged in th,? House of
Commons this week.
In a new and .sensational expose of
the Japanese problem in British . Col-
umbia, the West Coast Liberal charg-
ed that Canadians had been assaulted
by Japanese, that their motor boats
had been wrecked, and their fishing
nets cut.
Chinese Begin Air Raids
TOK[O. — Chinese airplanes last
week -end bombed Taihoku, capital of
Japanese Formosa, and caused "sev-
eral" casualties, a Domei News Agen-
cy dispatch said,
Formosan army headquarters, in a
communique which was indefinite as
regards total casualties, said that sev-
eral women and children were killed.

Government Fish Expert Address-
es Anglers' Association
Experiments of dropping fish 100
to 1,000 feet from an airplane to re-
stock likes in the Laurentian moun•
talus, havo been made by Gustave
Prevost, director of fish culture in
the Laurentides area, Quebec.
He told 600 members of the Ang-
lers' Association of Quebec all about
it last week at a mooting in Montreal.
From Height of 400 Feet
Mr. Prevost said experiments were
first carried out on Lake Oulmet when
fine cotton nets wore submerged on
a wooden frame 100 feet long, and the
fingerlings were dropped from a hydro-
plane travelling at a speed of 140 feet
a second, from a height of 400 feet,
Skilful piloting enabled "direct hits"
to be scored after ono or two attempts
and the fish were then taken from the
nets by observers, and 95 per cont, of
them were alive and uninjured. ,Sub-
sequently, 4 -inch fish from the Pro-
vincial Government fish culture sta-
tion at Morrison, in St. Waustin par-
ish, were taken to Lac Ouimet and
flown to a virgin lake, a fin. of each
fish having been cut to iddlfy it.
Tho following year many of .t fish
werecaught and were 9 to 10 le
long, Further experiments sh6wed
that fish up to three pounds in weight
could be dropped from a height of
1,000 feet and remain uninjured.

To Control Germans Abroad
BERLIN.—Adolf Hitler is pressing
attend with a world-wide propaganda
campaign to build "little homelands"
among the 25,000,000 Germans or per-
sons of Gorman descent living in
North America, South America, Af-
rica and Asia, He seeks to bind them
to Germany by cultural and economic
ties.
The Fuehrer's eyes may bo on Aus-
tria and Czechoslovakia for the mo-
ment, but Nazi officialdom never for
a moment forgets the "long view" and
never abates its efforts to create sym-
pathy on other continents . for the
Swastika, •
A special department in the Foreign
Office began this work and now, with
Hitler's announcement of a "protoc-
torato" over Germans living in other
European nations, the campaign has
been intensiffcd.
It seeks to control the lives and
thoughts of Germans abroad.
Mussolini's Demands
LONDON.—It was generally under-
stood last week that neutralization of
Gibraltar and a share in the control
of the Suez Canal would be among
Premier Mussolini's depuands when
the projected British -Italian negotia-
tions for an understanding get under
way. The Italian dictator was said to
be seeking some concrete guarantee
along these lines, that his fleet would
never be bottled in the Mediterranean.
Naval parity with Britain in the in-
land sea was also said to hold a lead-
ing place on Il Duce's list of condi-
tions for lasting amity.
Japanese Army Shake-up
SHANGHAI. — Japan's widely ex-
tended expeditionary forces, stalled
on nearly all fronts by hard -fighting
Chinese, were prodded forward this
week after a drastic shake-up of high
commanding officers,
In the air as well as on the ground
the Japanese encountered desperate
resistance which threatened to pro-
long their costly invasion of China in-
definitely.
General Shunroku Mata took com-
mand of forces in the Shanghai -Nan-
king area, replacing General Iwane
Matsui. General Hata was inspector
of military education in Japan.
Hal — "A friend of nine named his
child Carol because she was born on
Christmas."
Jim—" 'She?' 1 thought a carol was
a hymn."
t 10,000 Fingerlings at a Time
!With the improved methods now
obtained 10,000 to 15,000 fingerlings
could be transported in one trip of
the plane and in one day 100,000 flab
could be transferred to different lakes,
and dropped in—a task tliat would.'"
take about a monthby truck and
would cost much more.
There are 10,000 lakes within a rad-'
ius of 200 miles of the fish culture
station at St. Faustin, Quebec, and
last autumn 300 of them had been
stocked with ' 460,000 speckled trout
fingerlings 3 to 6 inches long,

Prison System Needs Reform
Sir Samuel Hoare, Britain's IIome

which he hopes and expects will rovo-

Its main objectives aro said to be: To
help to keep the young out of prison;
to protect the persistent offender from
himself; to develop reformative influ-
ences in prison life. It will be inter-
esting, not only in Britain but in Can-
ada as well, to see just what Sir Sam-
uel has in mind and to watch the pro-
gress of his Bill. For the penal system
of Canada, all will agree, is sorely in

A Flood Control Policy
The ,problem of flood control is not

been doing their best to turn the face
of the land into something of the na-
ture of a concrete pavement. They
have been cutting away the forests—
what was left of them—and draining
swamps; the solo object seems to have
been to get rid of the water. And now,
at long last—they have had warning
forty years ago—they aro slowly
awakening to realization that some-
thing must be done.
Engineering work will be needed,
as forestation is a long-distance poi -
icy and exceptional weather condi-
tions are liable .to cause floods at any
time; but the ultimate solution of the
problem lies in holding the water in
the land—which can be done only by
providing the cover given by forest
and swamp,

ernment will soon "see the light" and
embark on un aggressive policy of ro-
forestration.—Owen Sound Sun -Times"
THE WONDERLAND OF OZ
THE EMPIRE
We're "Irrational And Supine"
All the peaceful forces of the world
have acted as if they were utterly im-
potent to stop one nation, not a very
strong one at that, Our own case is
typical. We instruct the British mili-
tary commander at Tientsin, with 700
mon behind him, to reject the Jap•
anese demand to enter the British
Concession there, Wo accept the cer-
tain risk that it "means war" if Japan
tries. Wo make it plain that we will
defend Hong Kong, a position wo do
not refuse to adopt although that
equally may "mean war". Yet wo will
not co-operate .with a number of oth-
er powerful countries in imposing
economic sanctions against Japan,
though we know Japan would havo to
call the war off if they were Imposed"
Wo will not exchange guarantees of
mutual military assistance with other
nations, though the -risk of Japan de-
ciding to attack half the world is
manifestly less than the risk that she
will attack it single nation, Other na-
tions are equally irrational and sup-
ine,—London Daily Herald.
Goose Down Makes
Air Flow Visible
Goose down is helping make air-
plane engines safer and more efficient"
Scientists of the U. S. National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics aro
using the goose down to make visible
the flow of air and other gases inside
tho cylinder of a fast -running airplane
engine. High-speed motion picture ca-
meras record those currents of gases
in split thousandths of a second.
Ono camera, believed to bo the fast-
est ever made, takes 40,000 photo-
graphs a second. The other, which
makes ten pictures at once at the rate
of 2,000 sets a second, exposes each
for only one -millionth of a second,
Look Through Engine Windows
Slower speeds — 2,500 "frames" a
second — are used to photograph the
gas distribution as shown by the down
of the goose. The higher speeds aro
used to photograph the lightning -fast
explosions of gas inside the cylinder
as they drive the engine. All the pic-
tures aro made through special steel -
hard glass windows fitted into tiro
sides and tops of the cylinders,
When developed and studied by re-
search engineers, these motion pic-
tures show changes which can be also
made in the fuel and in cylinder de-
sign.
Dr, George W. Lewis, director of re-
search for the committee, said: "The
result of this research will, wo believe
make trans -Pacific and trans-Atlantic
flying much more practical because it
will bring about greater range for air-
craft on the same gasoline."

the organization asked that a closed
season be placed on rabbits and hares
in the southern part of Ontario.
Only Game Animals Here
"They are the only game animal
we of Southern Ontario have," said
Emerson Robertson, Secretary -
Treasurer, "and some people are
making a business of hunting them,
because they.,are not protected in any

Pink instead of white is the sugges-

Dark green is a high style novelty
color for new ski-wear—seen at the
second annual show and ski meet at
Madison Square Garden. It is featured
in cotton ski jackets and in dark green
dresses for snow, wear. Navy still re-
mains the popular color in ski clothes
and there is considerable interest in
contrasting pastel tops.
Light bright colors are forecast for
girls' spring coats, replacing the con-
ventional navy and other dark colors,
Reason: The increasing fashion for
sports toppers fn fleece cloths. Colors,
to bo featured are tan, strawberry,
cadet blue, topaz gold, some pastels,
but mostly in piniding or dark
grounds.
A rosy rust shade, an intense,
slightly grayed aquamarine and a
bright yellow are conspicuous in
sports clothes for spring,
New shades for spring millinery
are selected from old Chinese art.
Two lovely ones aro "Yan blue," which

Treatment Eases .
Pains Of Cancer
Doctor Claims That Intraspinal
Injections of Alcohol Aid
Its Victims
A new treatment which has proved
successful in easing pain in such
diseases as cancer, angina pectoris
and chronic arthritis, by intraspinal
injections of alcohol, was ,described
to the Washington Medical Associa-
tion by its inventor, Dr. Elias L.
Stern of Sydenham Hospital, New
York.
Vitamin B-1 Added
Fundamentally, the effectiveness
of the treatment, Dr. Stern explain-
ed, is due to the connection of the
spinal fluid with the sympathetic ner-
vous system, In experiments on cats,
the disintegration of sensory nerves
when so treated was clearly shown.
It is this effect, he said, that makes
the alcohol injections a deadener of
pain.
After 12 years of research, Dr.
Stern announced that his technique
of intraspinal injections of alcohol
and Vitamin B-1, had been invariably
suj'r5,lsfut in his last 60 cases. Earlier
att;" pts, while partially successful,
had ',ten hindered by complications,
,nich the size of the dose has
ved to be the determining factor.
Primarily a remedy for beri-beri,
Vitamin B-1 has proved one of the
most potent rejuvenators yet discov-
ered, Dr. Stern said, and curative in
many other deficiency diseases. Its
use in one case of infantile paralysis
proved 25 per cent, effective in re-
storing mobility, Stern said, and sug-
gested that it was probably effective
in, halting the disease before the on-
set of pulmonary paralysis.

of it goes for the bright paint on the
radiators.
That is to say, according to an en-;
gineering study announced at Cornell
University, Ithaca, N.Y,, bright paint
on radiators cuts down the heat by a
big percentage.
Bright paint, like aluminum or gold,
acts like a mirror. It reflects heat, the
reflection is back into the radiator.
This applies to all the "radiant" heat
given off, which is about 40 to 60 per
cent, of all the warmth from the rad-
iator.
25 Per Cent. Loss
The radiant heat is the wave -motion
sort, which travels likelight, and at
the speed of light, Bright paint, the
Cornell study shows, cuts down the
radiant heat by 26 per cent. Twenty-
flve per cent. of 40 to 50 per cent.
(the total radiant heat) is a fat piece
of the coal bill.
Blank or dark and modest paints let
the radiant heat out. Heating engin-
eers have known for some years that
bright radiator paints were doubtful.
Today's report shows the exact loss.
The study was made by Dr. Kennedy
F. Rubert, instructor in experimental
engineering.

Ten Commandments to'
Govern Business
1. Handle the hardest jobs first
each day, Easy ones are pleasures.
2, Do not be afraid of critics—criti-
cise yourself ,often,
3. Be glad and rejoice in the other
fellow's success—study his methods,
4. Do not be misled by dislikes.
Acid ruins the finest fabrics, How-
ever, both dislikes and acids may be
used to advantage.
5. Be enthusiastic—it's contagious,
6. Do not have the notion that suc-

there was a long period of experi-

far back as 1714 Queen Anne granted
a patent to Henry Mill (it is only by
coincidence that typewriters are
sometimes called "mills" nowadays)
for a contrivance which was described
as follows; "An artificial machine or

scribing of letters singly or progress-,

whereby all writing whatever may be

The one-year old Canadian boy has
the expectation of reaching the ago
of 65 and the Canadian girl 66. The
boy has gained five years and the
girl four above their expectation at
birth.
It is after the age of 21 that the
expectation of life steadily decreases.
When a Canadian boy reaches his ma-
jority he has in prospect 48 years to
to live, "or to the age of 69. That is
by the law of averages. When he gets
to 40 he may anticipate 32 years
more, or until he is 72. When he re-
tires, say at 65, he may expect to
have a comfortable thirteen years
of retirement and pass on at 78. If
he reaches 80, he should live for six
years more. When he arrives at the
century mark his expectation of life
is two years.
Of course, the expectation of life,
as long as one is not on his death-
bed, never goes down quite to zero,
but for statistical purposes it is as-
--a +1,04 yarn iq nno hundred and

gations tends to reinforce the Biblical
dictum that the length of life is three
score years and ten. At the younger
ages and up to the age of 60 the im-
provement in Canada was very mark-
ed in the ten years of which we have
record, but above 70 there was a de-
terioration in vitality though it was
very slight. It seems that today, in
Canada in particular, there are far
more people attaining the allotted
span than ever before in history, but
there are not appreciably more cen-
tenarians than there were a hundred
years ago.
On the other hand the decreasing
mortality at younger ages is a token
of the vastly smaller amount of ill-
ness among young people today. Life
is improving at the ages of health
and vigour—at older ages Nature
seems to continue her procedure of
making way for new life despite all
man's efforts.

There are great number of organ-
izations and individuals who believe
they are fully entitled to "sponge
like the Dickens on the press", but
unlike Mr. Avery never come to the
realization that "the press is entitled
to consideration just like any other
merchant".
As a general rule the press, and
more especially newspapers serving
the smaller communities, is always
ready and willing to freely and whole
heartedly support any movement for
the public good, On the other hand
there is, generally~ speaking, a hard
and fast rule against free publicity
n connection with purely commercial
or money -making schemes which is
sometimes forgotten by the general
public.
Newspapers cannot be expected to
give away their merchandise except'
as a donation to some worthy cause,
and it is most refreshing to hear Mr.
