W.S. McCullough, M.D., D.P.H.) Everywhere in Canada, interest is growing in the subject of Nutrition, special efforts being made in some cenâ€" tres to improve facilities for women in learning how to choose and use foods to best advantage. While it is becoming generally realized that health depends to a large extent upon proper nutrition, littie information has been given as to the relationship between nutrition and hearing. Recently, however, tests were made in Great Britain that give rather concluâ€" sive results, large sample groups of chilâ€" dren living under different social conâ€" ditions being examined. In one series about 1,000 children were chosen from good environments in private schools, day schools and boarding schools; in another series about 6,000 children were in public elementary schools or in eccleâ€" siastical orphanages, the latter being as other fads come and go. But the decorators use only the very fine Oriertals, preferring a plain domestic rug of intersesting colour to a cheap The Oriental rug is the question mark in the style picture. Its basizc appeal means that it continues to sell, round or cval shapes which gives them added lure. Most of these are Chinsss made and generally are more popular now then traditional Chinese patterns, though the fine old Chinese designs in rugs are still favoured.

The scales went up to 57 pounds ind stopped. A newsboy standing by noticed the situation. "Good heavens!" he cried. ‘She‘s hollow!" tle effect on the incidence of the disease. The children with the higest incidence of defective hearing had diets deficient in many factors, but an increase in the food taken by two groups of these children for a year did not reduce the incidence of defective hearing. The tests show that probably the most important work on the preâ€" vention of deafiness will be done by those who are striving to improve the social conditions and, in particular, the nutrition. The two series of children did, howâ€" ever, differ greatly in the food they obâ€" tained. Middleâ€"ear disease is about four times as common, on the average, under poor social conditions; in the poorest places, whether urban or institutional, it may be nearly ten times as common as in a good environment, nearly a quarter of the child population being affected. Climate, housing and the mixing of the children seem to have litâ€" chosen because they represented instiâ€" tutions hard pressed for funds. Ears were examined with an auriâ€" scope to detect wax and a pure tone audiometer for hearing. As even the children in the poor groups were well housed, being in orphanages chiefly, difference in housâ€" ing between the two groups was of no significantvce. The main thing to be concerned about now is that there are rugs aplenty in the stores at present.

Jimson thanked him immensely, and after a drink said he must be going. "As it‘s raining in torrents," said Jimâ€" son, "I wonder if you would be so kind as to lend me your umbrella?" ‘The old4 man looked at the umbrella stand. "LOook hnrere, Jimson," he said, "I wouldn‘t trust anyone on earth with that umbrella. Tt cost me ten dollars." Jimson had asked for the hand of the "best little girl in the world," and had been successful. There is no bashfulnes in their apâ€" proach to the Legion men for they have long since learned that among old scldiers and the new there exists a cocmradeship and espritâ€"deâ€"corps that inspires sympathetic understanding. "Jimsun", said her father, "I have given you the greatest possession I have ever hadâ€"it will be a great blow to me to lose her. I shall miss her greatly." The Legion officials , all of whom are veterans of 1914â€"1918 and who from experience, therefore, are better equipâ€" ped than anyone else to help new soldiers on matters arising from active service, are solving for their younger comrades personal and home difficulâ€" ties of all kinds, as well as advising on pensions procedure, hospitalization and dependents‘ allowances.

The personal service Lureaux being operated throughout Canada by the Canadian Legion War Services where there are concentrations of troops, and row in England since the lst Division arrived, are being extensively used and hundreds of men under arms are reâ€" ceiving adviczs and guidance on proâ€" blems of all kinds. Throughout the long and often storâ€" my voyage the Canadian Legion War Services‘ Officers staged boxing and wrestling contests in the afternoon and movies and singâ€"songs at night. Beâ€" tween "reveille," and "lights out," it as a gay round of entertainment, suffiâ€" cient, at least, to put a little realism inâ€" to the lines "Oh, it‘s a lovely war." Captain Mert Plunkett, originator and director of the famous "Dumbells," and now supervisor of Soldier Concert Parties overseas for the Canadian Leâ€" gion War Services, gave the lads a real treat when he introduced a new marchâ€" ing ditty written by James 8. Thomson. The troops roared with delight at its catchy tune and words, the first verse and chorus of which goes: "My old dad he was a soldier ‘A little bit over 20 years ago, His duty was to fight From morn into the night And I am going over there To keep his medals bright." "Oh! Chere Marie,â€"just wait for me, Just wait for me on leave in Gay Members of the vanguard of the Canadian Legion War Services‘ overâ€" seas organizaion, who accompanied the second contingent of the C.ASF. to England, gave the fighting men on beard ship a preview of one of the many services to be rendered by the organization in the United Kingdom and France. Along military lines, the list includes such expressions as "Unterseeboot," for Uâ€"boat, "dasugzsug," for airplane, and "kontakt," for contact. In many cases the German expressions are nearly identical to the English. For example, "der general," "der feldmarschall," and "die gasmaske." Others are superb tcngueâ€"twisters, such as "Maschinengeâ€" wehrschutze," which means machine gun, and "artillerieunterstutzung," for artillery support. One thing they are just now finding out, however, is that Herr Hitler hasn‘t a monopoly on the title "der fuhrer." The same expression also applies to an airplane pilot. And "der kompagnieâ€" fuhrer," to mix things up a little, means company commander! Canadian fighting men no doubt can "click their heels" a good dGdeal faster than they‘li ever be able to say it in German, for in that language it is "haken zusamensthlagen." "Attention" is a little easier, being "achtung."

Part of the course in German inâ€" cludes a list of questions for interrogaâ€" ting prisorers. If a Canadian wants to know a Nazi‘s name he would say, "Wie heissen sie?" And if he wanted to get the prisoner‘s views of the war he would ask, "Was denken sie von den krieg?" which means "What do you think of the war?" It is not improbable that "Mochten sie eine zigarette haben?" which means "Would you like a cigarâ€" ette?" will be asked frequently if that mainstay of life is as scarce in Germany as reported. MembEers of Canada‘s armed forces who have enrolled for instruction in the various subjects being taught by the education brarch of the Canadian Leâ€" gion War Services, are finding the study of conversational and military German miuch more interesting than they had anticipated. At Calgary, for example, a sort of "post graduate"" course has been inâ€" stituted by Dr. Francis Owen, professor of modern languages in the University of Alberta, and with the help of a spscially compiled textâ€"book they are acquiring more than a sketchy knowlâ€" cage of the subject.

Quite Arother Matter Cost of establishing and operating residential clubs in London, where Canadian soldiers on leave may obtain overnight accommodation and meals at a reasonable cost will be underwritten by the Canadian Red Cross. This deciâ€" sion was reached by the national execuâ€" tive at Toronto on Monday. Chief Hedge believes there is possibility of finding some traces gold in the upholstery or floor of car seized here Saturday. Wellâ€"Known Diver Coffey is one of the best known divers in Ontario, having been employed many times by provincial and {federal governâ€" ments as well as private interests. One of his major jobs in recent years was in connection with the rebuilding of old Fort Henry at Kingston. Clarmont has been Coffey‘s tender for number of years, Mr. Coffey said, and is well known on the Toronto waterfront. The diving suit and equipment are alleged to have been found in the trunk compartment at the rear of the Provincial Constable Louis Needham noticed a car ,parked on Main St. directly in front of the entrance to the provincial police office. The license number identified it as the one sought by police. Lavallee, Desmarais, Coffey and Clarmont submitted to arrest without a struggle. When arrested, Desmarais is reportâ€" ed to have had nsarly $1,000 cash in his possession. Harry Charres of Rouyn was arrest ed at Noranda on Sunday. The four men arrested at North Bay Saturday are Joseph A. Lavallee, Queâ€" bec city; A. C. Desmarais, Val d‘Or hotelkeeper; Dennis I. Coffey, Toronâ€" to diver and his "tender", Andrew Clarmont, also of Toronto. Police said two Toronto men, speâ€" cilalists in underâ€"water diving, woere arrested here Saturday with a diving suit and complete diving equipment. It is claimed the men, working for a trio of ringleaders, dived from 8 p.m. Thursâ€" day until 2.30 a.m. Friday attempting to lift the gold. Police claim evidence of highâ€"grade ore found on the surface of the lake indicate they met with some success. Police said no large amount of ore has been recovered. Joseph Hedge, chief of that mysteriâ€" cus and highly trained group of men known merely by the anonymous title of mines‘ investigators, is quoted Monâ€" day as saying "All the gold will be in our hands by tonight." The charge laid against the accused men has been used on only one previâ€" ous occasion here. It allows the inâ€" vestigators plenty of latitude for their investigations. One official estimated that the "treasure" might be worth $135,000. It is claimed the highgrade ore was placed in three butter boxes before it was lowered to the bottom of the lake in 20 feet of water. The diver and his assistant were reâ€" manded by Magistrate Armand Boiley urtil Jan. 15, whilse the others will be tried Jan. 16. Joseph Hedge, chief of the mine inâ€" vestigators, said police had been aware of the treasure in the lake sincs Noâ€" vember, 1938. Reason for caching the gold in the lake was that police were nct on the trail of the highâ€"graders and the safest thing was to dump it there, it was stated. It is believed that gold, stolen from a mine of the Val a‘Or district, amountâ€" ing to anywhere from $50,000 to $100,â€" COD was buried keneath the water. Acknowledgment was received from the Turkish Red Crescent organization, branch of the Red Cross, for $5,000 from the Canadian Society for earthâ€" quake relief. Search Continues for Gold Cached in Lake Osisko Mines investizators sought for clues which might lead them to the stolen ore, said to be valued at between $25,000 and $50,000. Cached a year ago in Lake Osisko after its removal from a minâ€" ing proberty in the Val d‘Or district, it is alleged highâ€"graders engaged a Toâ€" ronto diver to recover it. When the Polish legion now in rance goes into action on the western front next March an ambulanse unit provided by the Canadian Red Cross will accompany the men. The execuâ€" tive voted $15,000 to outfit the unit. Rouyn, Que., Jan. 10â€"Search for an elusive forturs in raw gold, which some psople say is at the bottom of Lake Osisk>s and other; toliavye h2s been cached at some lonely spot in the snowy north country, went on with undiminâ€" ished vigor this week, while four men were granted bail on charges of atâ€" temptirg to commit an indictable ofâ€" fense. A shipment of warm clothing for women and children among Finland‘s 400,000 civilian refugees was authorized. Three tons of clothing and surgical dressing also will be shipped to Lithuâ€" ania for Polish relief. Four Men Arrested on Highâ€" grade Charge Remanded to January 15th. The quartet arraigned here on Monâ€" day in this Quebec mining town are reported to have confessed failure in their attempts to recover the gold. They are D. L. Coffey, Toronto diver, and his assistant, Andrew Clarmont, Toronto; Joseph Lavallee, Quebec City, ard A. C. Demarais, who gave no adâ€" dress. Coffey posted his diving equipâ€" ment as his bail bond and Clarmont was allowed freedom on the sams terms. Lavallee and Demarais were freed when they turned over their motâ€" or car to the court as security.

The British even were permitting exâ€" port of airplanes to Finland. Full extent of aid from abroad was regarded in Helsingfors as a military secret, but it was known that already considerable foreign aid had reached the Finns. To Face Trial on Charge of Dangerous Driving The US. note expressed the opinion that the league‘s staff on technical studies, by achieving coâ€"ordinated acâ€" tion, could avoid useless duplication of efforts by the various governments which have agreed to aid Finland. Most of the nations canvassed, inâ€" cluding Great Britain, France, South American countries and South Africa, agreed to lend "all possible assistance" to Finland. One exception was Peru, which said she was not now in a posiâ€" tion to render effective aid. A despatch from Geneva says that the United States notified the League of Nations of its readiness to assist Finland. _â€"The notification came in the form of a reply from the department of state to an inquiry from the League of Naâ€" tions. The inquiry was sent to memâ€" ber as well as nonâ€"member nations in accordance with an assembly resolution which called for assistance to Finland at the tims Russia‘s explusion was voted. charged with "attempting to have gold known to have been stolen." Several days ago a tent was discoverâ€" ed on the ice close to the location of the hidden gold. To the casual obâ€" server it appeared somseone had estabâ€" lished a fishing "shack" on the ice. "Work on the ice went on uninterâ€" rupted," said Chief He«ige. "Thursday night and Friday morning, a guard at Noranda mine, about half a mile away, ncticed activity at the tent. "Dynamite was used to blow a hole in the ice. A wooden platform had been built for the air pumps and from which to ‘tend‘ the diving operations. The ladder was lowered into the water and one man went down after the sunkâ€" en gold." some months ago the investigators watched with considerable interest when two men established a camp on a rocky point of the lake aimost in front of where the gold was cached.
