Lone Scouts throughout the prov- ince will be gratified to hear that, on the nomination of the Chiet Scout for Canada (His Excellency the Earl of Bessborough), a very well-known and outstanding man has been elected to the Presidency of the Canadian Gen- eral Council of the Boy Scouts Asso- clation, This is no other than B. W. Beatty, Esq, K.C, LL.D, etc, the President of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way, who for many years has taken a great interest in Scouting activities in this country. The fact that such out- standing men as this are pleased to associate themselves with our move- ment is a further proof of public re- cognition of the value of Scout train- ing, and we have every reason to be proud of the fact that we are members of the Great Brotherhood of Scouts. Recently a very interesting Lone Scout meeting was held at Markham, when Scoutmaster Don Hutchison of the 2nd Troop, together with Mr. Edgar Jones, Provincial Field Secre- tary, visited the "Lonies" in that town. The local hotel proprietor kindly placed a room at the disposal of the Beouts, and the evening was occupied with the playing of games and instruc- tion, and Mr. Jones had his lantern with him and entertained the boys with pictures of Scouting activities, not bend your elbows. This operation should take about two seconds. 4. Now immediately swing back- ward so as to completely remove the pressure. 5. After two seconds swing forward again. Thus repeat deliberately twelve to fifteen times a minute the double movement of compression and release, a complete respiration in four or five seconds. ; 6. Continue artificial respiration without interruption until natural breathing is restored, if necessary, four hours or longer, or-until a physi- clan declares the patient is dead. 7. As soon as this artificial respira tion has been started and while it is being continued, an assistant should loosen any tight clothing about the patient's neck, chest or waist. Keep the patient warm. Do not give any liquids whatever by mouth until the patient is fully conscious. | 8. To avoid strain on the heart when | the patient revives, he should be kept lying down and not allowed to stand or sit up.

It was tenta-| He should not be moved from this | point until he is breathing normally of his own volition, and then moved only in a lying positjon. Should it be neces- gary, due to extreme weather condi- tion, ete, to move the patient before he ig breathing normally, resuscitation should be carried on during the time that he is being moved. 10. A brief return of natural respir- ation is not a certain indication for stopping the resucitation. Not infre- quently the patient after a temporary recovery of respiration, stops breath- ing again. ~The patient must be watched and, if natural breathing stops, artificial respiration should be resumed at once, 11. In carrying out resuscitation, it may be necessary to change the oper- ator, This change must be made with- out losing the rhythm of respiration. Dy this procedure no confusion results at the time of change of operator and a regular rhythm is kept up. Important Points The most important points in con- nection with artificial respiration are: 1.

Scouts' As- Scouts of America at 21st annual European Lines Stress Faster, Quieter Travel London.--Higher speed, new long- distance routes and greater silence and comfort in flights are combining to make the summer timetables of the airways of Europe something like "magic carpet" documents. Transportation experts of twenty European air lines are putting finish- ing touches on timetables of super- speed holiday and business travel. The main lines of Europe, through increasingly cordial co-operation, now dovetail at all important airway junc- tions, Transferring from one line to another this summer will be done without delay or inconvenience. Thirty-seven passenger machines employed by Imperial Airways will permit the saving of a quarter of an hour between London and Paris. Trins to Malo, Sweden and Prague, Berlin and Zurich are now one-day affairs. A fast service will be opened this sum- mer from London to Le Touquet and Switzerland, with connections to the Mediterranean.

Oxygen in Oceans Studied There is less free oxygen in the water of the Pacific Ocean than in that of the Atlantic, and there is more fn the water of great deeps of both oceans than in that from moderate depths, says "Popular Mechanics Magazine," These discoveries were made by Dr. Erik G, Moberg, ocean- ographer, after a chemical study of thousands of samples. Since all plant and animal life in the ocean is depen- dent on oxygen, the results announced are of fundamental as well as theoreti- cal importance. o-- Species of Fly Thrives on Oil Despite the fact that oil is usually fatal to most insects, one strange species of fly spends its fancy at the bottom of ofl pools, says "Popular Mechanics Magazine." It answers to the imposing name of "Psilopa pe- trolii," and is found in parts of the California oil field. Its larvel life 1s spent in shallow pools of waste oil, left after refinery processes have re- moved the more volatile materials. It comes to the surface to breathe, pro- truding a tube to obtain air, then sub- merges again, feeding on the remains of other insects in the oil. ee see A Constituent of Concrete "Don't let your children take chances road blocks, cement mortars, and for many Portland cement is used as one of the constituents of concrete for the construction of foundations, dams, surfaces, buildings, and building other purposes, It is one of the most important of our structural materials. , Materials suitable for the manufac- of Portland cement occur in all provinces of Canada. ture but one of the | Sleepless Canadian Muffles i Whistles of Paris Trains Paris.--Colonel Beckles Willson, Canadian author and resident of | Paris, has succeeded in muffling rail- "road whistles within Paris. Colonel Willson, who wrote a book on American Ambassadors to France, lives close to a railroad station in one of Paris's most exclusive quarters. He was awakened at all hours of the night by the shrill shriek of engines. Colonel Willson wrote a firm but po- lite letter to railroad officials and government authorities requesting * muffling of the whistles. He received many polite answers asking How could they control the whistles, the only language known to engine drivers and railroad employees. But Colonel Willson was obdurate. He argued that the trains whistled teo much and too loudly, insisting that the number and volume of the toots could be reduced to a minimum. Being of a scientific turn of mind he even demon- strated new types of whistles which would serve the same purpose but not awaken persons sleeping a short dis- tance from the train tracks. The « fficials experimented with the whistles and found them satisfactory. The Ministry of Public Works has issued orders that within two months all trains must be equipped with the muffled whistles. nits A Spring Sonnet For Devon The Lady April flings her purple cloak About the patient shoulders of the down, And with soft fingers spreads her flower gown As carpet for the elm trees and the oak A while ago the cuckoo's echo broke The slumber of the orchards; and the brown Frore rags of stingy winter's make were thrown To rot, when Spring's so splendid sun- shine woke-- But I am far away, I.do not see The Lenten lilies dancing by the ' Dart That tumbles laughing past; nor where they shine, Those hills and streams, those valleys of the free Gorse-flaming moor; but in' my ex- alted heart They sing, and sing, and sing that they are mine. --A.

She is particularly interested in thelr history. In addition to the crown jewels, she has a collection of her own which has taken many years to gather. She passes much of her time in searching antique shops, especially for jade and amber, and she has late- ly acquired some fine strings of these gems. These have been placed together on black satin beds in a cabinet in her boudoir, Her collection is usually kept in a ohippendale cabinet in the blue drawing room at Buckingham Palace, and it is a speclal favor to be asked to view them. The most admired pieces are those of the rare "creamy" jade, several of which have been presents. There are also some beautiful sets of amber jewelry. The Queen has some other rare treasures among her personal pres- ents, including a magnificent dia- mond bracelet and drop pendant, a gift from the King. The wearing of jewels is an art, and few women can display gems as well as Queen Mary. Her stately bearing adds to the dazzling splendor of her regalia when she is attending state affairs, Her jewels always seem particularly appropropriate to her dress. They are always care- fully chosen and never does she ap- pear twice successively with the same jewel scheme, Pmeralds are among the Queen's favorite stones. The royal set of these green, and usually regarded un- lucky stones, have a romantic his- tory. They were worn by the Queen's grandmother, the Duchess of Cambridge, in a lottery. Afterwards they were bequeathed to the Duchess of .Teck, and then later were left by her to Prince Francis of Teck, Since they have come into the Queen's possession she has added many "other pleces, with the result that her collection of emeralds is now one of the finest in the world. Her favorite piece In the set is an exquisitely carved emerald pendant. The Queen is also fond of pearls, and on unofficial occasions may of~ ten be seen wearing a double row of these gems with single pearl ear- rings. ~ This partiality to pearls was also held by Queen Alexandra and Queen Victoria. -- re A Champion Needed Manitoba Free Press (Lib): The question of the deportation of British citizens from Canada--ruthless, incon- siderate, brutal ejection of our own flesh and blood for the crime of eco- nomic failure--is again before the at- tention of the public both of Canada -- 2 Sir Arthur Duckham, British Trade Envoy, Stresses Need of Co-oper- ation ; Montreal--With the world facing a crisis more dangerous than the Great War, co-operation between Great Bri- tain and the other nations in the British Empire would solve the Em- pire's difficulties and be a potent force for peace, Sir Arthur Duckham, presi- dent-elect of the Federation of British Industries and a member of the British.

The cry, he said, should not be Canada first, Australia first or Great Britain first, but Empire first, A change of heart had been experi- enced by British industry, Sir Arthur sald. He predicted Industry was ex- ploring the possibilities in Canada.

Born a Liberal and a free trader. Sir Arthur had changed. "World con- ditions have changed our minds," he commented. "I was a free trader so long as imports to our country meant more work for our people. To-day that is not so, and it is time some change should be made if the Old Country is to recover from the de- pression of the last 10 years." Referring to the aims of the Trade Mission, Sir Arthur said, in part: "We know it is no good to come here and try to compete with home industries, but we feel that there is much Canada buys that might be bought in the home country, and that by co-opera- tion we in Great Britain could comple- ment and implement our manufactures 80 that the turn of trade may go east instead of south.

Col. James Stewart, who has obtained permission for the expedl- tion from Nanking, has been assur- ed of the co-operation of the Sinki- ang Provincial Government, and has been to England to obtain permis- sion of the British Government to fly from Rawalpindi over the Kara- koram Range to Yarkand. This will mean crossing at a height of 13,400 feet. On his return to India by plane eighteen months later, the Himalayas will be crossed at a height of 18,500 feet, and new passed will be photographed from the alr. The motor trucks, leaving from the China coast, will first prepare @& landing base at Yarkand, and them proceed to Urumchi to prepare an- other field, The aerial surveys will cover about 60,000 square miles of the 400,000 square miles which com- prises the Province of Sinkiang, formerly known as Chinese Turke- stan. ' The flight from Rawadpindl, it is expected, will be made in four and 8 half hours. The trip by camel cara van now takes forty-two days. The motor trucks should reach Yarkand in five weeks. The caravan trip from there to Peking consumes from three to five months. This trip is believed to have a great significance politically and eco- nomically, and to be a British step assisting China to combat the steady Russian absorption of the trade of Sinkiang. By virtually encircling Sinkiang with the Turk-Sib Raliway, Russia has brought Urumchi yastly closer to Moscow than it ever was to Peiping, and the incessant civil wars and banditry in China between Pel- ping and this "far northwest" has | served to cripple trade to the point that the old caravan routes are de- serted and now almost obliterated. If to Sinkiang can be given a quick and relatively short trade outlet through India, Russia' economle domination of the huge province can be checked, and if the expedition proves the feasibility of a motor road from Tientsin into the heart of Sinkiang, China may again renew the bonds with the now almost lost dependency. -- i APp---- -- Britain Revives Sponge Industry London--The efforts which the Government is making to re-estab- lish on «a scientific basis the once flourishing sponge industry of Brit- ish Honduras (states the annual re- port) are proving successful.
