LONESCOUTS No doubt most Lone Scouts and Lono Patrols are now looking forward with considerable anticipation to the Kail and Winter Scout Activities, after having enjoyed a Rood summer out- of-doors. \Vo are clad to say that quite a few Louies took advantage of the Camp Invitations sent In by the various Ite- gular Troops throughout the Province, and those that did BO all report that they wero well looked after and that \hey had a good time and thoroughly enjoyed their holiday. It Is hoped that next .summer cir- cumstances will permit tbe Lone Scout Depsrtment to hold another ex- clusively Lone Scout Camp as In pre- vious years. Exhibition Visitors Scout Headquarters this year had a booth at the Canadian National Ex- hibition In the Ontario Government Hullding, and this was a source of great attraction, and a magnet to all boys of Scout age, during the two weeks of the Exhibition. \Ve are glad that so many Lone Scouts and cx-Lono Scouts took the opportunity to visit this booth, and to make the acquaintance of the officials on duty there.

Ice Yields Relics of Gold Supply Rescue Expedition Grows in France Objects Left by Nobile Rescue With U.S. Holdings Repre- Phlladelphla. Here Is a clear. Illum- inating picture of cancer. This men- tal picture hag been painted by Dr. Elli McDonald, director of the Can- cer Research Laboratories of the Graduate School of Medicine, Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, who made his report at the America Pharmaceutical Association meeting. Cancer, as he sees it, Is a problem to be solved In the laboratory by the physical chemist, with the assistance of the biologist, who studies all living organisms, and the cytologist, who specializes in cell organisms. In the background of the doctor's picture he shows that In order to un- derstand cancer it is necessary to make of it a mechanical model, just as the physicist, to understand tbe atom and its operation, has made mod- els with moving orbits. The model for the cancer mechan- ism is the living cell, with four dis- tinct component parts the nucleus, the protoplasm, the semi-permeable cell membrane and the environment (blood and tissue juices). By meana ef Its environment the cell gats rid of its wastes. Olycogen, or animal sugar. U almost the sole source of cell ener- gy. In normal cells half the absorbed glycogen is oxidized and half turned to lactic acid. In cancerous cells for every thirteen glycogen molecule* twelve split up Into lactic acid and only one is oxidized. | Other details enumerated In Dr. Mc- Donald's cancer picture are that can- cer blood la more alkaline than normal blood, and the more alkaline the blood the quicker the disease acts. Cancer patients have more sugar In their blood and the more sugar the shorter life. Cancer cells have relatively morf potassium and less calcium than nor- mal cells, and the greater such differ- ence the more virulent the disease. Following the picture, Dr. McDon- ald's criteria for treating cancer coma about perfectly logically the condl- tlon must be produced which will do I five things normalize the break-up of I body sugar, normalize the blood's alka- line state, reduce high blood sugar, la- crease the cell's calcium and reduce the cell's potassium.

According to recent statis- tics Canada's transpacific trade Is steadily gaining, and whereas 10 years ago the United States trade with i 'I'M i and Japan was 50 times that of Canada, It Is now only 20 times. In that period Canada's trade has In- creased sixfold with Japan and four- fold with China. The outstanding feature of Cana- dian trado with China anil Japan has been an oxceedingly rapid Increase In exports. Due to world conditions these imports wero not so great In 1930 and 1931. but In 1929 they were $24,200,000 to China as against $6.700,000 In 1920 and $12,000.000 to Japan as against $6,- 500,000.

Woolless Lambs Reported By Soviet Now comes the story of a lamb with- out wool, born in the village of Pok- rowskoe, near Moscow, and housed in the Zootechnical Institute In that Soviet capital. The animal Is des- cribed by E. T. Popova-Wassina of that institution. The mother of the ram had the nor- mal coat of wool aad was a black, short-tailed ewe with a fleece turned gray and with write marks on the top of her head aud on the tip of her tall. The father was a normal animal ot a short-tailed Northern breed, and was also black. The other lamb, which was born simultaneously with the woolless one a sister was normal, black, with marks on the top ot Its head. The ram is completely naked except for a small amount ot hair on the rear surface ot the hind legs, and some hair on the tip of the tall. Its skin Is deep black, shiny and folded. The hairs on the tip of the tail are white, as In the case ot the mother. It has well-develop . horns and Is growing quite normally. The farmer who owned the ram has been breeding his flock of sheep since 1910. and the flock has grown and multiplied by a system of intense In- breeding. From the beginning, the farmer bred the animals from four ewes purchased from a neighbor. Ac- cording to lii.s statement he has not bought any ouer sheep during a period of twenty years.

I don't want to be sick!" The "sweet young thins" who bends over a baby to salute It In the usual way must get rather a nasty shock when she se.es these words inscribed on Its bib. That is the idea. The bibs are Is- sued by the health department of New- ark, Now Jersey, to every baby in the city as part ot an antt-kissing cam- paign. And Newark's public health officer recently arrived in this country to spread the news that kissing is dangerous. Most married men will agree with him but for rather different reasons.

One frequently hears the remark: "Why should there be a glut of wheat when millions could do with HT" The point Is that tbe labour of the Chinese coolie is valued on a very different basis from that of tho Cana- dlam, American, or Argentina agricul- tural labourer. When you come down to bedrock, the coolie has to barter bis own labour for that ot the wheat- producer. As the coolie earn only a fraction of what the wheat-producer earns, he cannot pay the costs of pro- Airport to be Erected Shortly in Scotland A large civic airdrome Is about to bo built at Falkirk, writes a corres- pondent ot the Christian Science Monitor.
