They are not shouldering thelr responsibilities as citizens as people d'd a quarter of a century ago, and, think more of a good time than of anything elsg, in the opinion of Rev, Frank Calrns, M.A., of Broughty Ferry, Aberdeen, Scotland, who is in Toronto to preach for four Sundays at Deer Park Uni- ted Church: Discussing the possibility of war in Europe, Mr. Cairns declared that no nation is at the moment in a posi- tion to go to war. He added, how- ever, that there would undoubtedly have been war if Britain had con- tinued her disarmament program. "Mussolini is an awful madman, but I don't think even he is in a position for a world conflict and he is existing pretty much, by pure bluff," he declared. In his opinion Mussolinl has not the brains that Hitler possesses. Mr. Cairns, a member of the com- "mittee of the Church of Scotland, has been 25 years in his present charge at Eastchurch. Prior to en- tering the ministry, he was for ten years travelling representative of a hardware firm. He wa born in Ab- erdeen, and attended Glasgow Uni- versity. He served in the war with the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, and was at Galliopli. "Formal religion in the church is not honored in Scotland today," he said, referring to ritual in the church --"put," he added, "Christianity is stronger than it ever. was, and it would not be but for the church." In his opinion it was the church and the fact that. Britain's leading statesmen are all Christian men that _has prevented war thus far, "Our public men are all just ooz- ing with Christianity and the Christ- "jan spirit, he said." Referring to modern trends he pointed to the great strides made by ; science for the comfort of mankind. \Drunkenness has not disappeared, but it is "not a -tithe" of what it was. - Seeks a Wife For His Son An elderly Romford man is anxious for his son to marry and has there- .. fore inserted an advertisement in a Chelmsford newspaper. This is the father's conception of an ideal wife for his son, as reflected in tMe ad- vertisement: - Advertiser (bachelor, thirty-two, well-known cricketer) tall, well-built, fair, blue eyes, considered nice-look- ing, responsible position, bright pros- pects, possessing means, desires con- fidence and friendhip of a God fear- ing (not necessarily church-going), refined, domesticated, business-like, loveable and loving - English girl (twenty - two -- twenty - six); with some means, Not too pretty, but nice face and natural fair hair; View early betrothal and marriage; must be fond of cricket; Latest photograph appreciated and honorably returned; No widows, no Roman Catholics, . T-- powdered and painted dancing dolls or ogents, please. ; The young man is Stan Hooper, a well-known local cricketer, who works for a Romford furniture firm and lives with his father in a flat in Brentwood Road, Romford. The father acts &s housekeeper, makes the beds, cooks. ; The father said: "1 inserted the ad- vert:senient for love of my son. At thirty-two he needs a woman's com- panionship. ~The kind of a girl that is described in the advertisement is the kind my son ought to have. . I did not te!l him anything about it until it had appeared." -- London Sunday Express. Sees Danger In Kissing Georgia State Bacteriologist Warns Chronic Pyorrhea May Result DETROIT. -- Kissing may be quite the thing to some persons but the time-honored custom js just an un- sanitary health menace to Dr. Marvin M. Harris, 30-year-old former resident of Detroit and now bacteriologist for the State of Georgia Health Depart- ment, Dr. Harris, here visiting her parents, warns of the danger of los- ing teeth through too-frequent oscula- tion. The attractive girl and the amor- ous male who "feel the love bug nib- bling," should beware of promiscuous kissing or they may fall victims to fusopirochetal angina, according to Dr. Harris. The forbidding terms js the medical name for a mouth disease which begins in the gums and spreads to the tonsils, ' : "It is most frequently transmitted by kissing and brings on chronic py- orrhea," Dr. Harris explained. The teeth become lcosened and eventually fall out." Have You A Cold? Strange that we do not know yet what causes a cold, but wise men tell us much about it. ~ Sneezes and coughs by persons af- flicted with colds shoot the germs through an eight-foot space. October gets the credit or blame for being the peak month for colds with more persons catching the infec- tion than at any other time. A Harvard doctor says that af- fected persons spread the disease only the first three days they have the cold, although the sickness may hang on for a longer period. And they say that worry and a run-down condition is one reason why colds are caught, and fear is also an- other reason. During the World War is is said many soldiers caught cold from fear, and not always from ex- posure, Cathartics are of little value in the curing of a cold, even if the sick person is inclined to be constipated.

GUM-DIPPED TIRES "MOST MILES Lol 0 LO 0 J 0 J BY BY £ Re A Busy Apple Tree Works 35 Hours Weekly in Glass Case at Ton Speed--All For Science Ss ITHACA, N.Y.,--An apple tree which grows in a glass house out in an orchard at Cornell University out- does the ants in industry. It" works a 85-hour week--a five-hour dey for seven days--at.top speed, while sci- entists seek the solution to many problems of fruit growers. Photosynthesis Its work is photosynthesis, the manufacture by leaves, from air, sap and sunshine, of the starch which makes its apples. 'Study of the tree's life in the glass house shows that the tree's health depends on the amount of starch or sugar the leaves can synthesize from day to day, A. J. Harding and N. F. Childers, of the Cornell experiment station, repqrt. This manufacture governs root growth, start of flower buds for the following year, size and quality of apples and resistance of the tree to winter cold. Several cloudy days in a row, just: when the tree is forming its buds, profoundly affects their quality and so the fruit crops of the succeeding year. The proportion of bright days at the r'ght season, the scien- tists' report stated, governed the tree's resistance to pests like aphids and blight. Ultra Violet Lacking Virtually all the conditions exist- ing outdoors are present in the seal- ed glass house except that there is almost no ultra violet, the sun rays which cause sunburn. As a result the McIntosh apples, normally red, never turn to that color. Air, moisture, and temperature are -the same as outside. co The glass house is sealed. Air drawn in through a pipe is blown through the tree in a breeze by fans. "Then it is drawn out and analyzed. This exhaust air has less carbon di- oxide than the incoming. . During the five top speed working hours the tree extracts an great deal of carbon dioxide. Ths gas is one basis of photosynthesis and of mak- ing all plant food. Hardest Hours The five hardest working hours were between 9.30 am. and 2.30 p. m., in which time the leaves absorb- ed nearly 50 per cent, of all the car- bon dioxide they took for the whole day. In September, October and No- vember they took a little more than 50 per cent. in these five hours. The rest of the day the leaves loafed. They were never entirely idle while there was light. They nev- ed stopped until they were dead. Even after they had béen frozen stiff, if the temperature rose a little above freezing, the leaves began to take in carbon dioxide.

A Weak Argument The engineer engaged in a rail- way enterprise in South America was seeking local support for a road and attempted to give the matter point. He asked a native: "How long does it take to carry your goods to market on mule-back?" "Three days," was the reply. "There's the point," said the en- gineer. "With our road in operation you vould take your goods to market and- be hack home in one day." "Very good," answered the native "hut what would we do with the other two days?"

Under Cover An old lady, being shown over a submarine for the first time, was in- terested in the gun on the deck. "Does it get very wet when you go down?" she asked. . "Oh, no mum," said her guide.

The Hint Young Harry Brown and Lizzie Jenkins had been to the week-end market, where Harry had bought a young pig and an empty tub, Walk- ing home together, at night, along a lonely country lane, with the pig un- der one arm and the tub under the other, Harry was surprised to notice that Lizzie had suddenly quickened her pace and was almost running. batsmen received a ball full in the.

A policeman strolled up and re- marked: "Well, you got a nice skid there, eh?" "Pardon me," said Brown, haught- ily, "but this lady is my wife." Fly In the Ointment A farmer who was always com- plaining was showing the result of fine growing weather and superior skill in cultivation when his visitor said to him: "Well, you ought to be satisfied with such crops as these. There is certainly nothing Ihcking. You have nothing to kick about this year." % The old farmer stood in a meditat- ing mood for a minute, then replied: "Well, you know, son, such crops as these are pesky hard on the soil."

Average Hospital Cost $3.33 Per Day This is $1.33 More Than the Average Received Hospital fees paid by 255,366 pa- tients for their 8,866,619 hospital days' care at one hundred and seven. teen Public Hospitals in Ontario last year averaged less than two-thirds of what it actually cost the hospital to give this care. Outside of deprec'ation--on--build- ing, plant and equipment or reserves for bad and doubtful accounts, the hospitals spent $11,176,1568.56 in caring for these patients, or an aver- age of $3.33 per patient. - Against this cost of $3.38, the in- come received from patients amount- ed to $6,697,368.49, or approximate- ly $2 per patient per day. In other words, the patients as a whole received 1.33 worth of hospital service per day gratuitously. How was this $1.33 made up? Mu- nicipalities contributed $2,825,676.23 or 84 cents per patient per day; the Ontario Goyernment granted $1,271,- 6556.78, or 38 cents per patient per day, and the balance was received from donations, bequests, grants and other non-operating sources. In view of thése statist'cs, which are compiled from the official records of the Department 'of Health for On- tario, the cry for lower hospital rates which is heard from time to time becomes rather remarkable. Not only does the income from present hospital rates fall far short of meet- ing operating costs, but it does not contribute one cent towards capital cost or upkeep of plant or equipment. Even in .the more expensive wards, the wealthier patients, under to- day's rates, are barely paying for the cost of the service they are receiv- ing, Buildings and equipment costing millions of dollars; everything sci- ence through arduous years of en- deavors has developed; doctors, nur- ges and diétitiahs 'who have | spent years in training, 'the best foods and medicines obtainable; every mbtern contrivance for comfort' and cure-- all of these are placed at the disposal of sick and suffering patients during those - periods: when life itself is at stake--for fees averaging $2 a day.

The experienced hog feeder, how= - ever, has found that it pays himgto cxerc'se rigid - selection in the "stra'n" of hogs that he feeds. Wide# variation in feeding efficiency and the fact that efficiency is lar a hereditary character, has led to the adoption of a feeding and quality test for breeding stock which is known as "Advanced Registry" Be-g 'ginners and those who are adding breeding stock would be well advis- ed to make their selection from strains which have qualified under There is a fair volume ofg tested stock now available which may be located through agricultural officials. bs Due to the fact that swine are fed largely on cereal grain, and are un- able to make extensive use of pase tures, they more. frequently suffer from nutritional deficiencies than any other types of live stock. Since cereals are all low in calcium and some are low in phosphorus--the two bone-building minerals -- a mineral supplement to, the ration has come to be regarded as necessary, if rap growth is to be attained, and if no," other source of minerals is supplied. Furthérmore none of the cereal grains contain protein of the quality that carries all the aminoacids necessary to build animal tissue. A protein supplement, 'preferably of of animal origin, should be included 'in the daily feeding of growing hogs £ Probably these two deficiencies. o the ordinary feed grains, because they are not generally provided for with supplemental feeds, are more frequently the cause of slow gains, lack of thrift and low disease resist- ance than any other factors. They should be given consideration in making up swine rations. °° . Men Better Chess Players' Says Woman Champion ;* Preferg Them As Opponents NEW YORK.--Mrs. "Adele Rivero belongs to a men's chess club, but, she says "my main interest is chess, not men." She won the United States WOo- men's national chess championship ., this spring. The tournam.nt mark- ed the first recognition by the Nation. al Chess Federation of women's proe wess in the ancient game. ~~ Mrs. Rivero is 29, blond, blue- eyed and pretty. She works as a stenographer by day, but after wqrk makes for the club. About 240 men belong and only 10 women. She pre- 'fers to play chess with men. "I played a serious game with men the other night," she explains, 'and I was terrible because I had been playing with women." She thinks most women are temperamentally un- suited for the. game. "They have a better time in sports," she says. Mrs. Rivero is such a 'quiet-spoken person that she was -asked whether chess had a calming effect... Her re- ply: "It takes me at least a day to get over one serious game." A game may last from 15 minutes to nine hours. The, average is four hours. "Rapid transit" --- games are different--players have to move ev- ery 10 seconds and the game is over in a quarter of 'an hour. These are played for amusement. Mrs. Rivero thinks that with study and. serious tournament play--as.dis- tinct from two-player games--more women might develop into first-ranlg chess players. College chess teams should include women, she asserts. Although she is-in the "A" group with men, there is one man' she can't beat - at chess--her husbafid. He taught her the game. 3 Canned Wasps de Science has taught us that there :s nothing we can't can; or bottle, as the case may be. The latest contents are live wasps!
