- Bir Arthur Yapp tells the story of a "practical emigration experiment while Mr. Philip Snowden deals with the wider International aspect of the problem. "On behalf of the young miners and sons of miners in the distressed coal-| crowded © field areas, the Y.M.C.A, recently 'éame to an agreement with the United Church of Canada enabling it to send out a hundred of these boys to farm work under caretully-selected farmers in that country. Where nec- essary, these boys were provided with complete kit, and with a little money to have in their pockets on landing. Y.M.C.A. welfare officers accompanied them on board the ships, and as far as the training hostel of the United Church of Canada at Norval, On- tario," writes Sir Arthur K. Yapp, National Secretary, Y.M:C:A, In the #"@mpire Review." "Hach boy receives a beginning wage of 10s. in addition to his board and lodging, an dis encouraged to gave so that he may In time buy his own farm. If, by the time he reaches the age of twenty-one, he has man- aged to save at least £100 and has been able to convince the authorities .of his capability for running a farm, he is eligible for a Government loan of £500 to enable him to acquire a farm. This loan may be paid back in small amounts over a period of twenty years. Every one of these boys has the opportunity--an oppor- tunity--an opportunity he cannot al- ways secure in the old country--of building up a happy and successful career, We hope to send out at least another six hundred boys under the same scheme within the. next few months, "The spirit of adventure is by no means dead in the young Britisher of 1929, and I am convinced that many thousands of our young felows have a great future in one or other of the Dominions. There is far more room at the top of the ladder in Canada or Australia than there is in England. Even round the bottom there is more room, In both these countries, there are vast unoccupied spaces and enor- mous. undeveloped resources, Both are lands of great hope for the young British emigrant--always provided he 1s of the right sort," "The world is not over-populated. The Malthusian doctrine that the pop- ulation of the world is Increasing mors rapidly than human capacity to feed and clothe the race is discredited by actual facts," writes the Right ¥on, Philip Snowden in the "Windsor Magazine." "The world could never be over- populated unless the resources of na- ture when fully exploited by scientific knowledge and human labour were inadequate to provide all the people with a reasonable standard of life, "Since the beginning of the indus- trial revolution the power to produce wealth has advanced more rapidly than the increase of the world popu- lation. That is likely to continue, and so long as it does there can be no problem of world over-population in the aggregate. | "But there is a problem of geoprahi- cal tion of population. In a relative sense, some countries are over-populated and others are sparsely populated." The under-poula- tion' of countries which have 'great natural resources, which are lying un- develoed for the lack of populati "Stick to Ham and Eggs" is an Insurance Company's Slogan What sort of breakfast do you eat? There is a discussion going on just now as to what 1s the best breakfast. French workmen, who breakfast on coffee and rolls, and then have two hours off for lunch, are being asked to eat a heartier breakfast and cut down the lunch interval. At the same time, quite a number of people in this country are advocat- ing a light breakfast, or no breakfast at all. "Start the day empty" isn't a very inspiring slogan. And a South Af- rican life insurance company seems to think it isn't wise, either. "Stick to the good old English breakfast, "it advises its clients among the Rand miners in a recent booklet on health, "Coffes-and-roll business may be all right for some, but the man with a hard day's work ahead of him is a lot better off for a ballast of ham and eggs inside his belt-line." Porridge Problems All very well, but recently a num: ber of people have been looking for a substitute for bacon, owing to {ts high price. Sausages make quite a good one--and another Interesting variation is fried bananas instead of eggs. But bananas want bacon as a table companion. The biggest breakfasts of all are eaten by Americans, in whose morn- ing meal ham and eggs is only one dish among many. But the Americans overdo it, and a good few of them suffer severely from indigestion. In one respect, however, the Amerl- can breakfast is better than the aver- age British one. Raw fruit usually figures on the bill of fare. Porridge f§8 another breakfast item which 'many people swear by. But porridge is really a meal in itself, and to follow it up with ham and eggs may produce a certain amount of dis- comfort. On the other hand, the man who makes porridge alone do duty as a morning meal is apt to feel very hungry by eleven o'clock, -- i en London To Radiocast Nightingale's Song London--The radiocasting of the nightingale's song is to be resumed next week in a necessarily secret spot on the upper reaches of the Thames. Radlo engineers of the British Broad- casting Corporation will stand by every evening except on May 26 and on polling day, May 30, from May to June 1, inclusive, and transmit the song of birds to three British stations, 2L0, XX and 5GB.

Dahlla Culture The best time tp plant dablias in most of Eastern Canada is from the last week in May until the middle of June. The most suitable soil is sandy, well drained, deeply tilled and generously fertilized loam. If the soil is heavy clay, loosen up by dig- ging in well rotted humols, or even a little coal ashes.

Gem-Cutting Trade May Be Influenced By New Machine Sapphires Are Cut in London by Boys After Only 24 Hours' Instruction London~--A new gem-cutting mas chine, the invention of two Austral fans, B, A, Lobree and M.
