2 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, CULBUKNE, UINT., IHUK3IJAY, MARCH 1, 1934 Woman's Chatter... By Maix M. Morgan A Toronto daily covered a Men's Fashion Show and the heading of the story ran "It's Women's Turn to Laugh--Men Have Own Fashion Show." Personally I consider that a foolish and stupid heading. Why shouldn't men have a fashion show? They need it. At this time of the year, when business routine is dull (like the weather) there is something in the nature of a tonic to view new styles for the forthcoming season. In the days of old, brave and gallant men attired themselves in velvets, silks, laces and plumes and gaily rode forth to battle and strife. Me-thinks the modern male a drab creature. But--shhh--there's a gleam of hope--at the show soft shades of tan and a coat and vest of mild tomato shade made it's debut amidst murmurs of approval. Is this a whisper--an omen that men are returning to the bright plumes of yesteryear ? 'Twould be elegant, sires'! HOLLYWOOD AN ACCIDENT Perhaps you know of the event that placed Hollywood on the map and not Flagstaff, Arizona? In 1913 the newly formed Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company rented a tiny barn in the middle of a lemon grove. The new company sent Mr. Cecil Be de Mille out west to make "The Squaw Man" which was their first big film. It was agreed that the picture should be made at Flagstaff, Arizona, and at this stop De Mille and Dustin Farnum, leading man, left the train. But they got out on the wrong side and found themselves looking over a wide expanse of prairie. No township, no hotel, not even a house. They decided that Flagstaff would not do and returned to the train which carried them to the little barn in Hollywood. So much for that. GOOD FOR YOU While it is hard to believe that this freezing weather We've had so much of this winter is good for your health, statistics prove that contagious diseases lose their grip and all the little germs turn up their toes. Can't blame them of course, my toes have felt a tendency to do likewise. So take this cold comfort if you need it. In the meantime, oh for spring and the twittering birds--what--what! ?! WATCH YOUR DIET In conversation with a leading Toronto druggist the other day we were encouraged to hear that the drug business had been adversely affect*^ by. the growing idea of a balanced dset for health. Our informant was not complaining, On the contrary he is a sincere advocate of common sense and deplores the vast wastage of money on drugs and patent niedieines and their disastrous effects on the human system when taken indiscriminately or as habit. Like all health enthusiasts, be believes that the requisites for good health are fresh air, moderate daily exercise, a carefully balanced diet and right thinking. When the drug business, which is as old as civilization itself, is feeling the effects of a widespread dietetic movement it is time for the public generally to take heed. Since good health brings success, happiness and general well-being to those who have acquired it, it is a subject which cannot be fiddled with. One is either eating correctly or he is not, and an incorrect diet will eventually break down the strongest constitution. The subject is too large to be adequately dealt with in a newspaper article or series of articles. But, there are numerous books on the subject which may be obtained a. any book store or the public library. Once taken up it is an absorbing study and will well repay all the time spent upon it. Smashing Makes Perfect Apparatus wortjh hundreds of pounds is smashed every week in the research laboratories of the General Electric Company at North Wembley. Yet no one could call this money wasted, for out of the welter of destruction scientists obtain the secrets of the electrical or mechanical invention for which they are working. Behind one laboratory is a $25,000 P%it used for testing the 60 ft, steel pyiqcs conducted to* the Katioatf) Grid Scheme: No mercy is shown a test pylon. It is stretched upon a rack and pulled at varying strengths to represent the stress caused by a hurricane, the weight of wires laden with ice, and the sudden unexpected tension due to a wire breaking. Finally, the wretched pylon is pulled to pieces. But the point is that every reaction is scientifically record-;o that experts know exactly what service this particular type of pylon will give and how to remedy its weaknesses Hundreds of electric lamps aud wireless valves are sacrificed in the cause of prfetion. One result such smashing is that the research laboratories have recently produced entirely new form of street light ing and an all-metal wireless valve. There are other specially-built plants which break insulators and cables by subjecting them to electric pressures in the neighborhood of half million volts. This gives invaluable data for ensuring their indestructibility even when caught by lightning. The wizards or. modern ice destroy in order to create. Making Gasoline From Cheap Coal Germany Hopeful of Producing 60 % of Requirements This Year New York.--No example of how applied science can help a nation attain economic nationalism illustrates the point better than an Associated Press dispatch that Germany expects by the end of 1934 to produce 60 per cent, of its gasoline needs from cheap coals of the Ruhr Basin. Gasoline is commonly obtained by the proper distillation from crude petroleum. If the oil does not readily yield gasoline chemists use a "cracking" process to bring it to the desired stage. Both these methods are available on a commercial scale. There is another way of making gasoline by utilizing carbon available in coal and adding the necessary amount of hydrogen to build up gasoline molecules. Heretofore gasoline obtained from coal las been a laboratory, rather than a commercial, process. Germany's achievement, if its hopes of making a 1,000,000 tons of gasoline annually are attained, lies in the successful development of production methods on a commercial scale. Quoting Dr. Carl Busch of the L G. Farben Chemical Trust that developed the method after twenty-two years of research, The Associated Press reports "Either lignite or hard coal is mixed with, oil and the resulting mass, while liquid, is worked up with finely-ground catalyzers into a g.islike .compound under extreme pressure and heat. "The second step is transfoi mafeion of the mixture into gasoline through the agency of a fixed catalyzer. . "It must be remembered that petroleum and the materials obtained from it are composed, for the most part? of carbon and hydrogen. Coal consists of the same elements, differing in that it has a greater amount of oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur and a lesser amount of hydrogen. Our problem has been to take the oxygen, nitrogen and sulphui from the coal, add hydrogen, and then divide the molecules into smaller units. 'To do this coal was heated under high nitrogen pressure and at the moment that the molecules were split, hydrogen was introduced into the car bonic compounds. "It was only by employing a cata lyzer that the I. G. Farben industry succeeded in quickening the storing of the hydrogen and in directing the reaction in such a way that it was pos-ible to obtain all the desired products from coal. The results ha1 uccessful that the speed of ints r.g hydrogen has been stepped^ Lesson IX. -- mony Concerning I 11:2-6, 16-16, 25-30. are heavy I you r t.--Matt. 11:28. Testl-imself.--Matt. Golden Text, ye that labor nd I wi Mrs. Billy Sunday Really Enjoys Her "Suitcase" Life . New i'ork.--After spending most of 15 years on the road, Mrs. Billy Sunday, wife of the evangelist, said recently she "would die if I had to stay home and just rest." "Ma" Sunday, as she is ki: enjoys it. "I wouldn't know how to live other way," said the tall, animated woman whose hair at 65 is hardly gray. "Even when I'm at home I keep my things in a suitcase. I'm like a magician we met one time who said he never could find anything in a bureau drawer. "It would be rather dull just staying home and keeping house and cooking, r can cook, but I don't like to." Billy Sunday disapproves of careers for married women, bis wife said, but "Ma" Sunday has managed to have one along with his. She exhorts gatherings of women while her husband is holding men's rneetiugs, and she also presides at prayer meetings. With all th:-, she has reared four children, more or less in a suitcase too, for she said she had never spent more than six or eight years of her married life at home. Two of the Sundaj children are dead, and the others, Billy jr., and Paul, are married and live in Los Angeles. Kemal to Draft Women For National Defense Ankara.--Mustapha Kemal, P mt of Turkey, is reported as sa that obligatory defence service women will be part of his rei program. Kemal told a group of deputies that within two years Turkish women will appear in Parliament. Close on the heels of that privilege, he added, will come the obligation for women to prepare themselves, equally with men, for defence of the nation. Tree Seed Dispersal -Many species of trees have their seeds or fruits dispersed by the agency of wind. In some trees, such as poplars, the seed is provided with a tuft of hair, while in elms and others there is a wing-like extension which serves the same purpose. Fleshy fruits are of uncommon occurrence, but are found in sour gum and in black cherry. Hooked fruits are unknown among Statue To Memory of Bernadette of Lourdes The Pyreneau peasant girl Bernadette Soubirous, recently canonized at Rome, is to have a statue erected ip her memory at Lourdes, according to announcement by Msgr. Gerlier, hop of Lourdes. A contest for French sculptor now being held, and the winning-model will be chosen shortly after ary 28, 1934. 1858, Lourdes was a small ees city with scarcely more than local fame. That year, however, a little peasant girl received the visitation of the Virgin Mary and the town has acquired worldwide renown. During 1933 there were 2,000,000 pilgrims in Lourdes, 25,000 of whom were sick persons and 240,000 foreigners. Six thousand of these visitors were British; 2,000 Irish.

Some people have longer wicks to burn that others."--Lady Cynthia Smith. TIME--Midsummer and (chap. 12) autumn of A.D. 28, the second y, Christ's ministry. PLACE--Galilee. PARALLEL PASSAGE -- John sends to Jesus, Luke 7: 18-35. "Now when John heard in the pri son the works of the Christ." John the Baptist, Christ's great herald. "He sent by his disciples." The journey from Moab to Galilee was long, but John's followers were devoted to his wishes, and doubtless also desired to see for themselves the wonderful teacher. "Am. said unto him, Art thou he that cometh?" The Messiah foretold by David, Isaiah, and all the prophets the great hope of the nation for wh jin all their history had been seeking to prepare them. "Or look we for another?" That seems a strange query to coma from the forerunner of the Messiah, the man who had so readily recognized Jesus as the Christ, so clearly proclaimea him to be the Lamb of God. "And Jesus answered and said unto them." There is no upbraiding of John, but only the most tender understanding in his reply. "Go and tell John the things which ye hear and ." Christ is always ready with evi-ice and proof. 'The blind receive their sight." Jesus came as the Light of the world, came to be a light to them that sit darkness and in the shadow of death. "And. the lame walk, the lep-cleansed." A miracle involving the restoration of parts of the body that were rotting away or had tirely fallen off. "And the deaf hear." A miracle even more comfort-hg, perhaps, than the restoration of sight to the blind. "And the dead are raised up." The Gospels contain only detailed accounts of this which to us the greatest wonder of all, though to Christ it was no more than waking a person from sleep. "And the poor have good tidings (the gospel) preached to them." This comes last as the climax of the list. "And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me." Who is repelled by nothing in me, as Moffatt translates it. "But whereunto shall I liken this generation?" by this generation (Luke 7: 29, 30) Christ meant not the common people, who heard him gladly, but the scribes and Pharisees, unto children sitting in places." The open squares of the towns, not too crowded for children's -■.'• hifc-all unto their fellows." "And say, We piped unto you;' and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn." The children played, first, at a wedding; and then, at a funeral. Jesus marked the same sort of fickle, imitative tendencies in their treatment of himself and John the Baptist. They were captious and careless. "For John came neither eating nor drinking. John lived on locusts and wild honey, wilderness fare. He would not think of attending a feast. "And they say, He hath a demon." The religion of'the Baptist had been too hard for the Jews because of its stern morality. "The Son of man came eating ana drinking." He was no weird prophet coming forth' from the wilderness in hermit's garb, but a homely _ man, affable, approachable, sociable m his nanner of life, kindly with his kind. And they say, Behold, a gluttonous nan and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!" The religious leaders of the Jews were no better pleased with Christ's joyousness than with John's sternness. "And wisdom justified by her works." Wisdom „,.jws that she is wisdom by results. The success of Christianity has proved Jesus right and his critics wrong, as he knew it would. 'At that season." In Luke 10: 21, 22 the following words are uttered to the Seventy when they returned fr successful evangelistic tour answered and said." He answered hei the question which doubtless arose i the hearts of his listeners: "If Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom would thus ' responded to the gospel, why v not given to them?" Our Lord's reply is a burst of thanksgiving that God in his infinite mercy and wisdom had granted it to the obedient, simple disciples who stood before him. "I thank the, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth." Note Christ's humility even as he is about to declare his unique relationship to the Father. "That thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding." Christ is thinking of his work in the world, and the way in which it has been received. "And didst reveal them unto babes." Some of the apostles--John especially --were possessed of penetrating intellects; yet all of them were as babes in their simple faith and trust, and so could receive Christ's revelations. "Yea, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in thy sight." Without debate, it was enough for Christ that this was his Father's will; he was sure, then, that it was for the best for all. "All things have been delivered unto me of my Father." The great Lord of heaven and earth gave all things into fne hands of Jesus Christ so that he might save mankind from the peril and destruction which threatened it. 'And no one kneweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son." The Son is the revealer of the Father. "And he to whomsoever the Son willeth to r< He knew the Father by ir ley must be given the know instruction, unto me, all ye that labor heavv laden, and I v "" ." There is no sayir. , among those of Christ himself, that ider appeal; for the appeal Easy-to-Use Pattern? By HELEN WILLIAMS. Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur-] nished With Every Pattern "Take my yoke upon you, and learn me." The service of Christ here characterized in other wi there is always inspiration ■taphor. When Jesus said "Take yoke upon you," he spoke of the yoke he himself wore as man. That voke of a perfect surrender to the will of God. "For I am meek ,d lowlv in heart." Humility i: i world was a vice. It was a thing abhorred and accursed, utterly unworthy of the gentleman, but Christendom has given it the primacy of virtue. "And ye shall find rest unto your souls." "For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." No life is easy that is not under some firm control. All wanton, passionate, undirected or misdirected lives are miserable, tasteless, burdensome. Australian Butter Plans What is known in Australia as the Paterson Stabilization plan has been applied in marketing Australian but ter since January 1, 1926. It had three objectives. (1) to counteract the extra costs of production due to the ac cepted fiscal policy of Australia; (2) to aidfcsn the <i*»e«-M surplus.butter ; (3) to stabilize butter prices in Australia. The scheme is a voluntary one and is administered by a Federal Stabilization Committee which is composed of representatives of both co-operative dairy marketing interests and private manufaturers. However, plans are under way whereby State and Commonwealth legislation is proposed to authorize the setting up of a new butter market ing plan which supplant the Paterson scheme which has not proven to be adequate under present conditions.

In the valley of the Don, at the foot of the great Thorncliffe jump, Toronto, ten thousand people assembled to view the Ontario Ski Championship Saturday afternoon. Carl Reitz, r. former prominent German athlete, who saw the meet, claims it was.the finest exhibition of the speedy art he ever saw in thitecountry. ' He goes further to say that the meet compared favorably with soma of the best in Europe, and although the entries, unlike most on this continent, follow European methods .and are doing them justice. McGill University retained the Intercollegiate Hockey Championship, although they were held to a tie score by the Toronto Varsity at at latter's ice palace last Saturday night. Montreal tied the Toronto students in a four to four fiot, but the latter want down on the round On Friday night, during an intermission at the Senior O.H.A. game, King Clancy issued a statement that at the time caused quite a laugh among those present in the press room of the Maple Leaf Gar-dens. He said that although the Leafs were minus the services oi Conacher, Primeau and Sands they would take thi Canadiens and wipe out the former defeats. What at the time seemed to iw an idle boast came into being last Saturday night when the Leafs did take the Canadiens and wiped out their three defeats at the hands of the bad lads. According tc a Canadian Press cable, the Saskatoon Quakers won the World's Amateur Hockey Championship in Milan, Italy, when they defeated the U.S. team 2-1 in tha final of the tournament. In the semi-final, the German team was eliminated by a scoi-e of 3-9 by the U.S., while the Canadians took Switzerland in a stiff 2-1 conflict. About this time every year the question of who will take the Memorial Cup pops up among the sport fans. In other words, who irket, las Canadian junior champions. Fred Strangways, a noted Canadian sports authority, tries to throw some light on the subject, or at least give nis opinion of WHO WILL SUCCEED NEWMARKET. This is the title of his article in the March issue of the Dominion Sports Illustrated. Bill tildi.i went into the lead over Ellsworth Vines in their seventeenth meeting of their professional to ir. Tilden went into the lead with the score now standing nine to eight. Jack Shill, now with the To, rontos, may, if his teamriiptes are eliminated in the O.H.A., have a chance to turn to the paying game with the Maple Leafs when they e.iter the playoffs.
