Announeing this project, Willlam Hodson, Commissioner of Wellare, who sponsored it, sald: "It has long been felt by the rank and file of social workers, by their executives and boards of directors, that there is ur- gent need of a far better understand- Ing among the public generally of what social work is, what it is not, for whom it Is intended, and for whom fit Is not intended, or how the public can co-operate with social agencies aside from contributions of funds, and of numerous other problems affecting the health and welfare agencies" of the city. "Phis need has become acute in re- cent: years because social work In some form has become the immediate need 'of more than 1,000,000 persons -who have never imagined {in other years théy would need the services, and consequently are bewildered by them." -- . . -g . Irrigation Scheme : Advocated in West Regina. --Construction of the South Saskatchewan River water project un. der a Federal works program, primar. ily as an irrigation scheme to re-estab- ligh agriculture in the drought section between Riverliurst 'and Moose Jaw was advocated by-A. Ellison Fawkes, former Moose Jaw city commissioner in-an:address here. Mr, Fawkes sald in that area where many: farms had been abandoned be- cause of drought, 10,000 families could be settled each on an irrigated 80-acre to prodiice forage crops and vegetables and raise'poultry and hogs. He estimated that the cost of the gcheme at $15,000,000, which would in. clude provision of water supply for Regina and Moose Jaw.' The farmers, \ he said, could pay rental of $3 per acre each year and tlie project would pay for. itself. _--) Xa ame Editor in Trouble They tell lots of tales on the editors but this is a new ore: The editor of a Kansas paper went to attend a " party given by one of his neighbors when just a few weeks ago the home had been blessed with a new baby. The hostess met him at the door and after the usual saluiation, he asked after . the baby's health. The lady was deaf, had a bad cold, and thinking he was asking about herself, answered that al: though she usually had one every win- ter, this. was the worst one she had ever had; it kept her awake at night ® great deal, anc at first confined her to her bed, The noticing-that the . "editor was acting very strangely she edema ' said she could tell by his looks that he, was going to have one just like her| and asked him to come in out of the draught and sit down.-- (Walkerton - Telescope).

The British government, after hav- ing believed for years that any at- tempt to salvage the precious cargo of the motor-ship Glenartney, torpeoed during the war by a German subma. rine, was hopeless, have granted the concession tg the Sorima Genoa, which recovered the gold .of the Egypt. The Glenartney was sunk off Cape Bon, not far from the Tunis coast, in 1918, while en route from Singapore to London with a cargo of rare metals, including 6,000 tons of tungsten and The Week in Science Metals of the Future--Latest Notes on Cosmic Rays" As he looks back upon the breath- less advance of scientific research in the last fifteen years Professor Colin G. Fink of Columbia University won- ders, in The. Engireering and Mining Journal, what 'th future will" bring forth. So many dire prophecies of the past have failed of fulfillment--like Sir Williane Crookes's forbodeing, at the turn of the century, of a nitrogen famine which would make it impos- sitle to grow enough wheat to feed the western nations--that, to Professor Fink, "the realization of the existence of a problem almost invariably is equivalent to a prophecy of its solu- tion." Wheceupor. he pictures a few immediate possibilities in the chemical Utopia. :Aluniinum--will 1t always be reduc- ed from bauxite, the few deposits of which are closely held? H thinks not. Norwegian electro chemists have al- ready shown that from iron ore and clay an aluminum-containing slag can be produced, and from this aluminum. But s hy not turn comnion clay (lum- mina) into aluminum? The possibil- ity looms on the horizon. There will be a tremendous boom in the use of aluminunt- when" that happens. The metal may be cheaper than steel. Bauxite properties may sell for a song. Professor Fink expects that our descendants will "listen with a smile tv an account of how thousands: of worms were carefully nurtured on mulberry leaves. in specially construct- ed houses, how these worms were 'in- duced to spin cocoons and how these cocoon. were uriwrapped, the thread forming the basis of our' entire silk industry." Rayon and similar fibres indicate what' we 'may look for. Fac- tories are already taking the place of Tomas, INDEPENDENT OF FARMS, It is equally funny to behold our- selves: raising billions of bushels of wheat and milking millions of cows to feed: ourselves. To 'Professor Fink "the actual energy) finally turned into blood and' bone; is. ridiculously. small when compared with the vast amount of energy-expended in producing these 'staple food products," He believes that before long civilization will be in: Ofer: Mepefident of the farm, the dung heap, and the cow 'for grain and milk, To him it is significan. that ethyl or grain balcohol has become » by-product of the petroleum industry, and that acetic geid, 'once 'obtained solely from na- ture's wood, now .comes from coal and limestone, which two raw materials are electrically changed into calcium carbide, and the carbide into acety- lere, acetaldehyde, acetic acid and acetone. Because he had no electric furnace, the old-time' chemist could not bring about 'such reactions. All 'that he could do'was to break down complexés. 'His successor of today builds them up. Instead of trying to/produce pure tantalum metal, for example he cre- ates tantalum compounds with new uses, One result is tantalum carbide, indispensable mow in the cutting in- dustry, 'With titanium it is the same. Not the pure metal but its compounds are now sought, Titanium pigments threaten the old -supremacy of lead paints, Even 'i metal like copper, at pres- ent indispensable in electrical appar- atug, may have to yield its place.

Two vessels have been sent to Cape Bon, They are lying oft' the Tunis coast, and have succeeded in locating the Glenartney. The vessels are the Ipomea and the Italla, The former is about 100 feet long and the, latter, about eighty, The bottom of the sea is - muddy where the sunken vessel lies, With the diving machinery they have aboard, the divers of the Ipomea can £0 down more than 300 meters, which is considerably more than the depth at which (he Glenartney lies. Svdium: is' a Letter conductor, Pro- fessor Fink cannot help wondering whether it will not become the metal of the, electrical engineer. So with zinc; cadmium, which used to be sumething of a curiosity, is now taking its place, and cadmium is a nere by-product. But what of such one-time rarities: as indium, german. ium and gallium? They are seeking markets, A beginning has already been with with indium-plated ware. But, as in the case of tantalum and titanium, Professor Fink is inclined to think that the largest promise is held nut by compounds of gallium, in-| - dium and germanium, CHEMICAL AGE BEGINNING. "Who knows," he asks, "whether or not a compound of one or the other of these three metals will make a dye for cottons and silks that will not bleach out in the sun?" Chemists seem to have taken it for granted that dyes must be coal-tar derivatives. To Pro- fessor Fink the fast, washproof dyes are more likely to be obtained from minerals. The best blue today is arti- fecial lapis lazuli, but no one has a scientific explanation of its beauty and ils fastness. The age of chemical synthesis is only beginning, he concludes, "We rust get away from the belief that the compounds of the earth's crust are the only ones possible. With the facilities at our disposal we can, at very high témperatures, or under the'influence of very powerful electric discharges, or through the action of powerful chem- ical and physical means, bring about reactions which even nature has not troduced in the j ast." _ BURSTS OF COSMIC RAYS. Hoffman, a distinguished German physicist, discoverer that the cosmic rays do not pour in upon us steadily as light does from the sun. Some- times there are what he calls Stosse, or bursts, Others have observed these rocket-like bursts and wondered what they are and how they are caused. At gea-level they occur two or three kigh as Pike's Peak, three or four times as frequently. It is difficult to account for the bursts for the simple reason that it is impossible to see the cosmic rays as we see the light of day. It is only by their effects in and on instruments and matter that the cosmic rays are detected at all. Here Professor R. A. Millikan thinks we have a clue to the origin of the bursts. In other words, they are conditioned by the instru- ments, and nct produced by the rays in the absence of instruments. This theory he: develops in The Physical Review in an article written in collab- oration with Dr. Carl D. Anderson, discoverer of the: positron, and Dr, H. Victor Neher. In another article by Victor Neher, the statistical aspects ot Lursts are studied, with the strong presumption that we are dealing with instrumental varagies rather than something puzzling in the cosmic rays themselves. COME FROM THE BATTERY," One o: the instruments used in the study of the cosmic rays is the ele¢tro- scope. It usually consists of <two quartz fibers in a vessel, Ordinarily the fibers are held apart by.equal and electrical discharges. . The current to do this is supplied by a small battery, W!en the cosmic rays play upon such an instrument there is nc keeping the fibers apart. The rays have strong clectiical or ionizing ef- fects, It is then that physicists detect the rays, - ther influences may also cause the fibers to close--the emana- tions of radium from {he earth's rocks, for example, All these disturb-|. ing factors. must be excluded. And excluded they ara by lead shields and by controlling all known conditions. Professor Millikan and his ¢ollabor- ators are of the opinion that the bursts come not from the cosmic rays, but from 'the battery which furnishes the electricity that keeps the quartz fibers of the electroscope apart, Milli- 'kan suggests that a cosmic-ray shower hits one side of the electroscope and produces a large aumber of jons, or| wrecked atoms, Hence the bursts are "instrumental accidents" which have.

Junior--"Teacher kept me in after school because I couldn't spell them." We must either keep step with the changing times, or be cast aside.

Misconduct Cured By Lauding Good Deeds Children Appreciate Security Therefore Stress Good Points Chicago.--"f you make a fuss over 'good behavior in a child," Dr. H, W. Newell of Baltimore told the American Orthopsychiatric Association, 'much of his misbehavior will vanish." "The most important factor in a child's emotional life" Dr. Newell sald, Undermine it and he begins unconsciously to seek to restore. It by device to win the mother's attention. Much misbehavior is due to this yearning for attention which he gets when he 'cuts up,' even though It is a scolding. "For instance, if a hoy pulled his sister's hair eight times yesterday and three times to-day, most mothers would scold him for to-day's offences. But if, instead, she complimented him on the fact. that he had erred five times less to-day, the child would learn that behaving Is just as sure a way to earn attention as misbehav- ing."
