It is planned to develop and maintain four compfctc stretcher teams for any emergency â- trvice. • • * Polish Boy Scouts of Montreal celebrated the anniversary of the fonnding of their Group in an en- thusiastic and largely attended gathering at Polish White Eagle Association Hall. The young Po- Hsh Canadians re-dcdicated them- â- elves to the principles of the or- ganization as Canadian Scouts. • • • Rescue and relief work by Scout leaders and Boy Scouts following the recent landslide catastrophe en the island of St. Lucia, B.W.I. , â- was officially acknowledged by His Excellency the Governor. Wrote the Governor, who is also Chief Scout for the Windward Islands: "It is with considerable satisfac- tion that I learnt of, and saw for myself, the excellent work per- formed by the Boy Scouts of St. Lucia following the disaster." In addition to numbers of rescues made at serious risk, and recov- ery of the dead, the Scouts col- lected clothint; and bedding, and gave valuable service at the hos- pitals and refugee camps. • • • A troop of Boy Scouts has been organized among the Basque (Spanish) boys at the Laleham llefugee Centre, Margate, Eng- land, and registered at Imperial Scout Headciuarters as the 86th Margate (Laleham Basque) Troop. "These refugee children were so undisciplined that I was certain Margate would not put up with them much longer," it was ex- plained by Rover Leader Angell. "But Scouting has brought them together in the most marvellous way imaginable, and everyone is astounded at the result. The Centre, which only a few weeks ago was a flying mass of undiscip- line, is now run on the lines of the English school prefect sys- tem, and everyone is better for it." The Troop is running so suc- cessfully that every one of the Spanish boys has passed his Eng- lish Tenderfoot tests, including the Scout Law. It is said that the whole atmosphere of the Cen- tre, at which there are 80 child- ren, has been transformed by the introduction of Scouting ideals and idea.s. ^%%%%%%*m*y Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1.

The extract does its work Ijy speeding up metabol- apeeding up metabolism and thus fam and thus burns up fat depos- ited in excess in body tissues. WHEAT ELECTRICALLY. SHOCKED The yield of wheat can be in- creased by electrical treatment of the seed, according to Professor Benedetto Hiccioni. The profes- •or's experiments at his laboratory at Tcrni, Italy, are stated to have been verified by the Italian Min- istry of Agriculture and the Con- federation of Italian Farmers. He claims that the method is simple and inexpensive, applying ohm, the electrical unit, to increase the energy contained in the seed it- â- eir.

ELECTRONS DO RHUMBA By causing electrons to do the rhumba, three young California scientists have produced a new type of radio which may give avia- tion a formidable "life saver," and perhaps revolutionize the whole field of ultra-short wave transmis- .sion. Uadio engineers have pronounc- ed it the most important advance in that science since Dr. Lee de Forest produced the vacuum tube in 190G. It generates extremely .short .waves both powerful and easily controlled â€" an impossibility with the usual ultra-short wave equip- ment. How Can I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I mend broken china? A. Stir plaster of Paris into the beaten white of an egg, to the consistency of paste. Apply this to the broken edges an;i allow to harden thoroughly. Q. How can I remedy soup that is too Efllty? A.

Evangeline Booth The name of Commissioner John McMillan, chief of staff of the In- ternational Salvation Army, has been mentioned several times late- ly as the possible successor to General Evangeline Booth as gen- eral of the Salvation Army. Commissioner McMillan is well known throughout Canada. He started his career in the Salvation Army in Toronto some 50 years ago. He was on the Canadian Territorial headquarters staff for some time and 189G went to Aus- tralia as private secretary to the commissioner. Known To Canadians During the Great War he was in Canada again as chief secre- tary. Later he was transferred to the United States where he was in charge of the Chicago territory. Another transfer took him to New York, the biggest Salvation .A.rmy area on this continent. Then he was made a commis- sioner for the Canadian territory, which includes Bermuda, Alaska, and Newfoundland. Sheepskin Rugs Sheepskin rugs can be washed at home. Soak for an hour or two in a large vessel of warm water, with a small quantity of washing fluid, ammonia, etc. Press the rug into the water and stir about. When most of the dirt is extracted put into another warm-water bath with more ammonia, and press with a vacuum washer or a dolly stick. llinse the rug in three or four clear warm waters, and pass through the wringer with a very loose tension. Then shake vigor- ously before hanging up to dry in a good breeze. Shake continu- ally during the drying process. The lining must be washed separately. Teacher turned away from the blackboard, where she had been writing. "Read out that sentence, Willie," â- be said. " ' He was bent on seeing his old school,' " read Willie. "Now children," continued teach- er, "I want you all to paraphrase that sentence." Chewing his pen, Willie regarded the blackboard." Then his face lit up. Busily he wrote: "The sight of the old school doubled him up." Clothes In the tropics are be- ing made of bananas. They should be easy to slip on. New Minister â€" "And what did you think of my sermon on Sunday, Mrs. Jones?" Mrs. Jones: "Beautiful sir, and so instructive. We didn't know what sin was until you came l-i^e." Some sort of a prize goes to the man who convinced his wife that a woman looks stout in a fur coat. O'Reilly and Murphy were look- ing in a cake-shop window. What's that bowl of water there for?" asked O'Reilly. â- 'Thai's for the flics to wash their feet In before they walk on the buns," replied Murphy. "Hens always strike me as anxious-looking creatures," a writer says. No wonder, when they can hardly ever find their things where they lay them. ''Are your neighbours honest?" the old negro was asked. "Yasir, dey is." â- 'But you keep tliat loaded shot- gun near your hen coop." "Yas, dat's to keep 'em honest," was deposited in Winchester Cath- edral; though by other authorities It is connected with doom in the sense of judgment.

C/'uintee£eJv^ CIGARETTE PAPERS NONE FINER MADE Fungus Causes Lumber Losses Seasoning Yards Must Be Kept Clear Of Old Decayed Wood And Other Sources Of Infec- tion. When an unsiightly blue stain in sawn lumber causes losses ot thous- ands of dollars to Canadian lumber- men through lost sales, the forest products laboratories of the Domin- ion Minas and Resources Depart- ment tracked the nuisance down to a minute fungus. Wind-borne spores, investigators found, germinated in the summer months on the moist surface of the freshly-sawn lumber in the season- ing yards. The thready growths all worked deep into the lumber as It dried and produce the dark, tell-tale stain. Spores Borne On Wind The remedy proved fairly simple. The scientists found that seasoning yards must be kept clear of old, de- cayed wood, mill sweepings, weed* and other sources ot infection by the spores. As an additional precau- tion, dousing fresh sawn wood in an inexpensive chemical solution has been recommended to prevent growth of the fungi until the wood has been thoroughly dried out. ^Itchlni TORTURE tn A Minute For miick relief fr«m Uie Itctiiug of eczema, biotch-au Iilmples, athleta'a fool, scales, rashes and oUier ekia eniptioos, apply Dr. tienntf pure, cooling, antisep- tic, liquid D.
