Peter remarked, always appreciative of the manifestations of physical per: fection. Jenny saw that Clare and Patty were both in the mice. It would be interesting to watch the two of them together, for they were even- ly matched, in spite of the diference in their ages. Clare was a gifted swimmer, and her speed and form were equal to the best that girls half her agg could do. No woman on the boat could compete with her except Pat- ty. Joan Foster was good, but she slept all day and took most of her swims late at night. £4 Swimming Contest' Clare was in tangerine, a brilli- ant flash in the clear water of Le -tank. It suited her dusky i Patty was in a striking greens it. The whistle blew and the con- testants were off, with orange and green in the lead. Clare tore through the water like a goldfish, using the long Australian crawl Patty made better time with the American crawl, Johnny was perched in a corner close to Angela. His face was set in anxious furrows, for he felt that the race had somthing to do with him. Patty won the first heat, Clare the second; they seemed to be mar- vellously paired. Angela sat silent, thinking of Johnny and wondering whom he wanted to win, _ Clare was leading now, put Patty was creeping up. Every stroke brought her nearer to the fleet or ange figure. Patty was breathing easily and turning in the water with each long stroke. Johnny's heart was pounding. Clare was losing. Did he want her to lose? He did not know. Patty wag magnificent. He liked the --clean sw op of her strokes. He re- remembered his college days, and his heart went out to Patty. He - knew that she would root for him, but Clare bewitched him. But this was Patty's race. She must win! Johnny's throat was soapy, as it used to be when he tackled at football. Shadow Disappears Patty won, and, as she touched the end of the swimming-pool, he bit his lips on a shout of jubila- tion. Angela felt his suppressed ex- © citement and was suddenly sure of something that had puzzled her heart for years. N But it was Clare he went over to speak to, Clare h2 helped out of the water. "Good stuff, Patty!" whis- pered Johnny .s she passed him on her way to the dressing-room. "You and I'll have a race pretty soon." Patty laughed in her throat, toss- ed her cap and strode on. She felt robust and 'happy, as if a dark shadow that had been creeping up on her for wecks had taken to fits heels. Clare was also in gay spirits, a step from Peter's side. She had not cared whether she won or lost; She had not cared whether she won or lost; stress did nothing but give one crow's feet, wa that's over," "Patty'd like the wind. her form in the water." "You weie quite worth watching, too." Peter's voice was warm, and his glance passed over her like a searching flame, | "Why didn't you compete, Mrs. Rumford?" «Oh, I'ni a drone," laughed Jenny. "She's a lorelei who 16oks for rocks to sit on in the sun while she combs her hair," said Peter. | Unexpected Sight Was Jenny dreaming, or did she catch a look of understanding, the sudden raising of a curtain, be- tween those two? Her heart miss- ed a beat. No, that was absurd. Day-dreams! Clare and Peter had scarcely spoken to each other since they'd come on the boat, except for their chat fn the lounge at Bombay. They all moved out to the deck to dry themselves. "Jgn't the sea strange today?" Jenny murmured, after a long sil. ence. "This is the first time since we left the Mediterranean that I've geen the water crumpled, or foam breaking on the waves." ' No one was paying any attention to what she sald. "This is no place to dry," said Clare, shivering with cold. "It's too late. The sun's gone down." Jenny was lost in her thoughts, watching the sunset lasted. The others had already gone; she had not noticed them leaving her.

"Contrary to popular opinion falling hair isn't a sign of bald- said. "A normally healthy scalp sheds continuously and regrows new hair to replace those lost so that anyont escaping baldness for the average life span must grow about fifteen crops. Depends On Gomplexion "While blonde scalps always contain far more hairs than biun- ettes or red-heads, the average healthy scalp contains about 110,- 000. While the hair 'turnover'-- the time for a new crop--is about the same for everyone, the actual number of hairs you will lose and regrow daily depends on your complexion. "Blondes' scalps normally con- tain about 140,000 to 150,000 hairs and lose about 95 daily. Be- cause blondes' scalps have so many hairs and their scalp structure is so delicate they are perhaps 25 per cent. more prone to baldness than brunettes. What Prevents Growth "Brunettes' scalps contain ap- proximately 100,000 hairs and the fall average about 66 daily. Red- heads, who have far fewer, coars- er hairs--about £9,000--have an average replacement rate of 33 daily. ) "Ths ratio of daily hair loss is natural and results in baldness only when something prevents new hair from growing. Mzals Injected By Hypodermic Sciertist Finds Way to Inject Proteins Into Blood Stream: System Expected to Keep Ill Folk from Dying of Starva- ticn. A full meal by hypodermic needle--an improvement on the old idea of a meal in a pill--be- comes reality under a discovery announced to the American Medi- cal Association, meeting last week in San Francisco. . The discovery enables a doctor to inject proteins, the "ham, eggs and milk" of menus, directly into the blood. Heretofore the needle has been confined to injecting sugars, water and salts. The needle meals will save the lives of persons whose stomachs refuse food. This happens not in- frequently after surgical opera- tions. While the patients do not directly starve to death, their partial starvation weakens them so that other complications kill, them. The protein injection leaves only fats and vitamins out to com- plete the "ideal diet" by needle. Some of the vitamins already are in pure form whicl: can be inject- ed, and fats can be dispensed with for some time in the starvation cases.

HALIFAX.--To make the "part- nership" in promotion of public health between the Dominion and the Provinces "more effective, . some Provinces at least require financial assistance from the Do- minion in order to maintain and extend certain services for which they are now obligated," Dr. P. S. Campbell of Halifax = told the Canadian Health Association in his presidential address here. "The. promotion of the public health is now recignized as an es- sential function of Government and is gradually being accorded similar recognition to commerce, finance, defence and other impor- tant activities," Nova Scotia's chief health officer said. "This is as it should be, since any nation can- not prosper unless the health of its people is not only preserved but is developed to the greatest extent possible within human en- deavor. : 1 Teach How td Keep Well - "As to whether public health 'per se' is a Federal or Provincial oblighktion need not be debated here.! . . Without a doubt some of the health problems of Canada are common to all the provinces while others are of local con- cern. , . "We are pleased to note of re- cent years a tendency on the part of the Federal agency to assume more of the burden. ..." The most important work in any Health Department was "of a broad educational character so that all health officials are to a large extent concerned with the business of teaching the people to keep well" ; Dr. Campbell noted develop- ments in the public health field.

Foods and rent show an increase while fuel and light costs remained stationary. The cost per week of a group of foodstuffs which would be used by the average family is shown at $8.69 in April, compared with the same figure for March and $8.54 for April, 1037. Rent is shown at 185.96 compared with $5.94 in March and $5.77 in April, 1937. Average In 69 Cities It is pointed out that the family budget used in compiling these statistics for purposes of compari- son is not intended to be a mini- mum budget and is not based on quantities which wbuld be used by an average family. It is just a group of foodstuffs priced each month in 69 Canadian cities to show price. trends. Employment in the furniture in- dustry showed a slight decrease for April, at an. index figure of 82.56 compared with 84.1 in March. In April of last year it was 88.8, the highest figure shown in the chart which goes back to 1934. A survey of retail prices in principal cities reveals that Strat- ford enjoyed lower prices'in April than the average for the province in almost all staple foods. The price of round steak, sirloin steak, rib roast, shoulder roast and stew- ing beef was lovew than in Wood- stock or London, but beef sold slightly cheaper in Kitchener.
