FOR COMMERCIAL GIRLS The third birthday tea party of the Commercial Girls' Club of Winnipeg marked another anniversary of one of the most remarkable and inspiring public service enterprises which have been launched in this elty, Three years ago with the greatest possible efficiency and dis- cretion the club was formed, and for- mulated its constitution and by-laws, the object of which was to take care of the girls employed in commercial pursuits who might fall on hard times through the depression--which three years ago was looming over the whole community as an immediate menace, Under highly capable and conscien- tious management, given voluntarily by the successive executive boards of the club, composed of commercial girls themselves, the club has now an excellent record of most valuable work. Its members have given it loyal support, and initiative and orig- finality have characterized the man. agement.--Winnipeg Free Press, THE MODERN GIRL, The old-fashioned woman who used to boast about the number of glasses of jelly she could get out of a gallon "of -fruit has a daughter who brags about the number of miles she gets out of a gallon of gas.--Tweed News. TEACHING PEOPLE TO LIVE. How .o teach people to live so that th v may enjoy health and avoid sick- ne s is a problem that has not been solved, Whether it can be done by educaiion is a question, Most people prefer to live their own lives according 'o their own ideas and are inclined to look with contempt on matters of diet, sleep, fresh air, the avoidance of excesses of every kind and restrictions that would interfere in any way with {heir personal liberty. Nevertheless jt is perfectly true to say that thousands of people have benefited greatly by the information that has been disseminated, with the result that they have been almost to- tally free from sickness of any seri. ous kind for many years.--Brantford Expositor, OUR LUMBER EXPORTS = The lumber export situation is not without its difficulties; the solution appears to be in the appoin'ment of one representative for Canada, char- ged with the duty of promoting im- partially Canadian forest products, re- gardless of the place of origin, By this plan Canada will not divide | her propagandist force; on {he con- trary, it will give solidarity and uni- formity to every effort to extend the market. There are, of course, ardent advocates of separate Eastern Can- ada represen ation, who believe that only by such a method can the East obtefn an adequate presentation of the qualities and uses of wooils, a larger umber of orders, and new markets. : Yoo It Is suggested, however, "that om balance, a Dominion-wide- representa. tive i3 the most logical plan, and that La a >& >-¢ re ed for sectional representation, --Can. ada Lumberman, BACK TO THE LAND Anything that can be done to add to the convenience, comfort, enjoy- ment and profit of the farmer should not be overlooked, because, as we have sald, it is desirable to get more people back to the land, thus easing the pressure on towns and cities that employment problem cam upon us ang that are fairly overflowing with work. less people today--Border Cities Star. NO DAMAGES FOR NEGLIGENCE, In an action tried before a Middle. sex jury the otber day, in which dam. ages for injuries were asked, a ver dict was given that will have a very widespread effect on all cases of com. pensation for injuries suffered. Suit was entered against the Melbourne Agricultural Society by a father on behalf of his son, ten years old, who was injured on the racetrack at the fair. In spite of warnings given to keep off the track through a loud- speaker he persisted in getting into the zone of danger, with the result that he was knocked down by a race- horse, receiving injuries to his knee. The jury deliberated on the case and found that the boy had suffer ed on account of his own carelessness and hence was not entitled to dam. ages ...o. The significance of the verdict is that it throws the responsibility on people themselves for exercising rea- sonable caution. If they are careless and negligent they cannot expect to collect damages from others on the ground that the latter are responsible for thelr safety. It is possible that if this principle were pressed more en- ergetically there would be fewer acci- dents.--Brantford Expositor, A "DATE" BUREAU, Women students at the Universily of Toronto are reported to be bitter- ly complaining that, despite their charms, théy are experiencing great difficulty in "finding: a man." So now they propose to establish a date bur- eau on the campus, where boys and girls can leave their names when they desire a partner to attend a show, dance or some other form of social amusement, Such a move would leave the im. pression that the co-eds have come are a little backward about getting acquainied.. We suggest that the stu- dents of the 1934 crop are just as bold and gallant as in days gone by, but they are handicapped by an em- barrassing shortage of funds, Perhaps there would be no necessity for this clearing house if the daring co-eds would simply advertise the fact that they are prepared to pay their own way. Some one has said that the co-eds are not as sophisticated as they were in more prosperous years, and to'some degree have lost their popularity. Maybe there {s nothing to it.--Border Cities Star, f LIFE GROWS DIFFICULT | | Things grow complicated and peo- ple are always thinking of more regulations.

THE EMPIRE ROYAL CHRISTMAS CARDS The greeting cards which the King and Queen have chosen.tp send to personal friends at Christmas are now in process of being engraved, Their Majesties always choose subjects for that they may be ready fn good time for dispatch to overseas, : The King has selected a reproduc- tion of a fing painting, Bernard Gribbe's "Windsor Castle from the River," and this looks remarkably well on its engraved background.

The fundamental difficulty in secur- ing air safety at present is the speed at which an airplane has to travel to keep in the alr at all, No other form l'ot transport would care to be com- pelled to bafter through mist, fog, or darkness at a minimum speed of any- thing from sixty miles an hour up- wards, When hg i8 uncertain of his posi- tlon or suspects dangers on the route the pilot ought to be able to slow down, if necessary to as low a speed as twenty miles an hour, No commer- cial airplane in the world today can do anything of the kind. But in the interests of safety and of public con- fidence in air transport such an end must be worked for, It is far more desirable than any increase in flying speeds; until avia- tion has fledged its wings a little turther our present maximum of round about two hundred miles an hour {8 quite high enough.--Manches.- ter Guardian, 3 .

Declared Useful Guard Against Séfious Infection Boston--An upperlip health risk that may justify the "eyebrow" mustache as a real protector was ex- plained to the American College of Surgeons here recently, Any infection of the upper lip, such as might arise from even a trivial razor scratch or whatever risk there may be in kissing, is much more potentially dangerous : than similar infection on the lower lip. The facial mechanisms involved in this situation and the not infrequent- ly fatal results were explained to a symposium on infections by Frederick A. Coller, M.IN, of Ann Arbor, Mich. A person with anything larger than an ordinary pimple on the upper lip, he said, really ought to be in bed in u- hospital because of what might happen... : Broadly speaking this "upper lip" area includes not only the site of mustaches but much of the face and nose. Infections in these areas If they get beyond mild stages are apt to spread until they 'reach the facial veins. ! These veins pass down close to each .| sider of the nose and then flare out across the cheeks somewhat above the mustache lip areas. Ordinarily the blood in them flows downward. But upper=lip 'infections+'may block these veins, forcing the blood in the upward. ' : It then flows 'up toward the eye, passes the region of the inner angle of the eye and empties into the "cavernous sinus" located on the floor of the skull, or J Once there' the 'infection can- kill quickly. © It may produce clots 'that may carry infection through the blood stream all over the body or result in meningitis, or 'both. Dr. Coller warned. that.in-trenting an upper lip infection a pimple there should never be squeezed, - Once the , infection becomes serious, he said, talking should be prohibited in order to rest the lip. X-ravs should be used. The germs most likely to cause the : serious infections are streptococci and staphylococci. © Surgeons - discussing the Coller report said the practice of plucking superfluous hair from the nose offers some risk of upper lip infections.

And where shall we find a more befitting. and congenial arcana for the gathering of the harvest of a quiet eye?
