Strange Communities Britain shelters a number of strange communities. one of which is the Cotswold Bruderhof, consisting of people from Liechtenstein, Hol- land, Sweden, Switzerland and Cze- "choslovakia. They are an industrious people, for they took over a barren plot of land and transformed it Into a thriving village, Their marriage ceremony is one of the queerest in Britain, consisting merely of a de- claration of love before the entire. community! In a forty-four-acre field near the woods at Laxton is another queer lit- tle community consisting only of four families who have rejected modern civilization and are trying to build up a new kind of social life that they hope will spread throughout the coun- try. Suffolk, too, harboured a queer group of men, woman-haters all. Some were rejected suitors; the wives of others had left them and a few were just born misogynists.

However, he does not face a toothless future, because 6 years ago he cut 2 new teeth. d Poisonous Gases Dry Vegetables Discoverer Finds They Make Vegetable Pores Relax and Give Up Their Moisture A discovery that poison gases will dry 'vegetables quicker than heat "alone, and speed up industrial use of many farm proddets, was announced last 'week in Sc¢tence by the United' States Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, Little Heat Needed . Present commercial drying - uses high temperatures. But heat, says E, ¥., Hopkins, of Laurel, Miss, discov- erer of the poison gas process, causes decomposition and loss. In poison gas atmosphere, however, vegetable pores relax, They become 80 "limp" that they lose even at low temperatures as much as 60 per cent, of 'thelr water and syrups. when whirled fn a centrifuge, Little heat is needed to evaporate most of the remaining moisture, The gases tried for this purpose in- "clude chloroform, carbon :tetrachlor- ide, which is used in fire extinguish- ers, toluene, fat solvents and sulphur dioxide. The poisons did not "linger" afterward in the vegetable juices or flesh, " Keep Indefinitely These experiments have been ap- plied thus far only to the industrial and chemical uses of farm prdducts. They may be used on food, but this Mr. Hopkins says has not been inves- 'tigated, The poison-extracted juices and pulps, Mr. Hopkins says, will keep in- definitely for future use or for manu. facture, The --drled--plant can.-be stored "without material loss from freezing, respiration, moulding or en- zyme action." The mechanical oper- ations of drying with poison gas, he adds, are cheaper. "The possibilities have been shown fn extracting starch and alcohol from sweet. potatoes.

Increase in Population Demanded for Japan TOKYO.--Baron Ryoitsu Asada, in interrogating the Welfare Minister in the House of Peers last week about the population problem, said: "We must increase Japan's popu- lation. . We must triple the popula- tion. It is a deplorable fact that young women of today are practic- ing birth control in the interest of beauty." - i 2 "This birth control philosophy is a tragic mistake. Japan must have more babies," Mr. Asada continued. dry » ' or AST op aS BOY SCOUTS 4 Ry ey Na y i SEE ¥ EE AACE Ais, oes : ¥ A four years' scholarship at Ot- tawa University given by the Knights of Columbus was won by Rover Scout Vincent Berlinguette, a mem- ber of the 29th Ottawa (St. Domi- nique) Rover Scout Crew, ~ Along Canada's "EAST MALARTIC (Quebec). Underground work on the first le- vel has definitely proven a length of 800 feet of ore, with recent grade averaging $10 according to engineering advice. Diamond dril- ling indicated an average 'ore grade of between $7 and $8 across an average width of 25 to 30 feet in a zone length of ap- proximately 900 feet. It is gener- ally conceded that East Malartic is a large mine in the making. Of- ficial announcement has been made of preparations for a 500- ton mill, BARBER LARDER °(Ontario- Larder Lake) are expected to be into their ore on the first level by early April. On this property an exceptional ore picture has been indicated by diamond drilling. An Mining Highway ore zone has been close drilled in- dicating average widths of better than 30 feet grading $7 to $8 over a length of approximately 800 feet. ' yi LACOMA (Quebec-Seneterre area) is aggressively unfolding an ore picture by diamond drilling from the first and second levels. Exceptional resulfs are being ob- tained. A definite length of good ore for 140 feet has been close drilled in a zone indicated on sur- face to be 1400 feet in length. CHEMINIS - (Ontario - Larder Lake). After earlier work indicat- ing a 600-foot length of commer- cial ore, a further diamond drilling contract has been made with the object of enlarging the ore zone. The property is adjacent to the west of Barber Larder and adjoins Fernland on the East. A Dresden, Germany, musician re- cently invented a music writing type- writer, HAVE vou Stomach Upsets?

TC With the approval of His Excel- lency the Governor General, Lord Tweedsmuir, Prince Edward Island's new permanent Boy Scout camp site will be known as "Camp Buchan." The site was the gift of Lieut.-Gov- ernor-George D, DeBlois. With 13 King's Scouts, the bth Welland Scout Troop claims the dis- tinction of numbering the highest On- tario total of these senior Scouts for 1937, as shown in the census figures. The 1st Weston Troop comes next with 110, and the 1st and 3rd Fort William troops next jointly with 8 each in'a membership of 24. These troops are followed by the 6th St. Catharines, with 8 King's Scouts in a roll of 29, the 10th Toronto (Wych- wood), with 8 out of 54; 56th To- ronto with 7 out of 23, 1st Niagara- on-the-Lake with 7 out of 30, the 26th Toronto with 7 out of 40 and 10th Brantford with 7 out of 42. Boy Scouts of Longsight, Man- chester, England, helped prevent a panic during a loeal church service when fumes from a boiler filtered through the floor and caused several porsons to collapse. The Scouts pre- sent in the congregation promptly opened the doors, then rendered first aid to a number of persons who had been overcome, . Prevention of a fire panic at a largely attended free Christmas week entertainment for children at the Oak Theatre, Brandon, Man., was credit- . ed by Manager D. B. Roberts to four 'Rover Scouts whom he had invited to assist in ushetfrg the children. When smoke entered the auditorium and the alarm of 'fire was given, the Ro- vers at once acted to quiet the ehil- dren, kept them from crowding the aisles, opened. the emergency exits, and marshalled them safely out. A final search through the smoke-filled theatre made sure that no children "were overlooked, 'The theatre was cleared in' a remarkably short time," stated Manager Roberts, "and what might easily have become a serious panic was completely avoided." The Rover Scouts were Arthur Wilcox, Donald Thompson, Ted Speers and George Milliken, Australian Wool Sales Lowest In Six Years Australian wool sales for the first six months of the 1937-38 selling sea- son, covering the last half of 1937, dropped to the lowest level for any like period in more than six years, the New York Wool Top Exchange Service reported. Transactions, as reported to the service by the Australian National Council of Wool Selling Brokers, to- taled about 366,238,000 pounds, ac- tual weight. This compared with 436,265,000 pounds in corresponding period of the previous year and a six- year average of 424,603,000 pounds.

One woman was greatly insulted the other evening when her husband's guest, a former baseball umpire, dusted off his plate when he sat down to the table. A man, whom we shall call Mr. Allen, painted a cabinet Tuesday morning. "It's four houir enamel," he told his wife, "you can use the cabinet tomorrow." The paint was not dry the next morning, but Mr. Allen thought that the damp weather had slowed the dry- ing a bit. When he arrived home from work that evening he was dis- mayed to find that the cabinet was still unfit to use. The next evening found him 'fuming." "I'll tell that hardware man a thing -- " but he stopped before the sentence was fin- ished. A fly had flown against the cabinet--and stuck there. Mr. Al- len put his finger on the cabinet door. A puzzled expression crossed his face. He ran to the shelf, took down the can he had used when he painted. the cabinet, and turned the label to the light. It was table syrup. Bath- Tub' s Lesson One of tho difficulties against which mining engineers who bore for oil have to fight is the seeping into their wells of water through the pores of underground sand. Now a Texas company has invented a process which will prevent this, The inventor received his brain. wave when he emerged from his bath and noticed the formation of scum round the bath by the reaction of the soap to the salts in the water. Now they pump ordinary soap solu- tion into oil wells, and this reacts with magnesium and calcium salts to form a tough curd which binds the pores of underground sands and makes the well water-tight, The pro- Sass does not interfere with the ofl ow, An Australian put his savings of $000 in notes in the stove one night for safe keeping. Next day he for- gat about the money and . lit the stove. All but part of one note was burnt, r # oR J Nr . FA -
