wit A ai ms EJ Ri x 'the deer * Inhabited Over 150 Centuries Man Was Here Archaeological 'le Discoveries Show--Stone Imple- ments Found Test excavations and geological studies in Clear Lake" Park, Cali fornia, have "fully justified" expec- tations of important eviddnce re. garding early human occupancy of the New World, Curator M. R. Har- rington of the Southwest Museum reports. It was determined, Dr, Harring- ton said, that a pre-historic camp- ing ground excavated was an alluv- fal deposit from a nearby canyon, This. deposit apparently was laid down before the end of the Ice Age and the subsequent flooding rains, or some 15,000 years ago, various geologic evidence indicated. Before End of Ice Age Archaeologic evidence pointed also to the same conclusion. This disclosed a succession of stone implements ranging from the char- acteristic spear heads of Folsom Man, near the surface, down through a broad layer of implement forms much like those found on what was the Pleistocene or Glacial Age shore line of Lake Mojave on the Mojave Desert, near Baker, Cal- fornia, by a Southwest Museum ex- pedition in 1936. The Clear Lake camping ground, however, has not told its full story, Dr. Harrington said, Thousands of implements, whole and broken re- covered by the expedition, must be carefully studied .and compared at the museum, "Mounties" To Use Dogs As Sleuths _ Police dogs will be placed in Royal Canadian Mounted Pol- ice service at strategic points throughout Canada in the near future, Commissioner S. T. Wood of Ottawa, head of the R.C.M.P,, said in an interview at Saskatoon this week. Commissioner Wood, in Sas- katoon-in the course of his an- nual inspection of Western Canada 'detachments, said dogs are being trained at experimen- tal schools in Ottawa and- Cal- gary, They will be used to track suspects where conditions are favorable. Estimate Grain At $312,945,000 Winnipeg Free Press Séts Value Of Western Crops Western Canada's grain crop for 1939 has a total value of $312,945, 000, nearly $70,000,000 higher than last year, and $20,000,0000 higher than 1936, says the Winnipeg Free Press. Appraisal of the cash value of the principal grain _ crops,' wheat, oats, barley, rye and flax, is based on the recent Free Press crop re- port which estimates wheat produe- tion for the three Prairie Provinces at 324,744,000 bushels, oats 247,183, 000 bushels, barley 87,617,000 bush- els, rye 10,908,000 bushels and flax 1,629,000 bushels. Value of Manito- ba's crop is given as $56,495,000 as compared with the Dominion Bur- eau of 'Statistics valuation figures of 82,070,000 last year and $44,910, 000 in 1936. ) Increase Over Previous Years Saskatchewan's crop value figure is $116,285,000, more than double the 1937 Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics' valuation for that year of $49,890,000. In 1936 Saskatchewan's crop was worth $136,967,000. Alberta's crop this year is worth over $312,945,000, a substantial in- crease over 1937 and 1936 when Do- minion Bureau of Statistics valua- 'tions were $243,149,000 and $272,- 654,000 respectively. YouMustn't Feed ; The King's Deer Deer in the British Royal Parks have been put on diet -- Nature's food and no nonsense. The First Commissioner of Works has made a regulation forbidding visitors to 'give them chocolates, sandwiches, and their picnic left- 'overs. . : p , They must not feed, pet, or touch in Richmond, Bushy, Hampton Court, and Greenwich Parks, 5 According to the superintendent of Richmond Park, who has 400 deer in his care, people give them unn'tural foods, and every year Boveral deer die as a result. "When the stags are growing 'thelr antlérs in early summer,' he added; "they are dovile and themselves be fed and petted." Thé Office of Works points out thatthere are ahundant supplies of their natural foods In the parks. let - - AGENTS WANTED fo | MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ATTENTION!

Between four and five hundred fuel dealers, from Toronto and many outside points, gathered in the Crystal Ball Room of the King Edward Hotel on Monday, Sept. 19, for the 'blue coal' sales convention. Entitled "Here's How," the pre- sentation used stage playlets, talk- ing pictures, lantern slides and a reproduction of a radio broadcast to drive home the message, not on- ly of how 'blue coal' advertising helps the dealers, but also many ways by which the dealers can im- prove the type of service they offer the public. Included in. the casts which appeared in the different. playlets were Mildred Harris Chap- lin, ex-wife of the famous comedian Eugenia Rawls, Alexander _ Cross, Mary Perry, Joseph Eggenton, Frank Roberts, and several more prominent stage and screen figures, "The Shadow" Speaking on behalt of Harry A. Smith, president of the company, Mr. Scott of the 'blue coal' New York office pointed out that, largely due to aggressive and constructive advertising, sales of 'blue coal' had increased from a total of 4,745,000 tons in 1933 to 5,570,000 tons last year, A big feature of the program was a reproduction of one of "The Sha- dow" radio programs;-which are en- Joyed by millions of listeners each week, and which will soon be back on the Canadian air-waves again. The presentation, which travels like a theatrical company, and car- ries its own stage settings and pro- perties, is being shown in fourteen United States and Canadian cities, and was given on Sept. 20, in Lon- don, Ontario. ) London's Central Library now has 21,000,000 books. What Science * |s Doing * WORLD'S GREATEST WIND. MILL The waters of the ocean are the world's greatest windmill, the fifth International Congress for Ap- plied Mechanics was informed last week at Cambridge, Mass. The windmill study was report- ed by Dr. H. U. Sverdrup, of the University of Bergen, Norway, and University of California. It is probably, he said, that the en- ergy transmitted to the ocean by the wind is much greater than that from heat, "If this is true," he added, "the ocean represents a machine which is principally kept running at an average constant speed by the frictional drag exerted on the surface®of the sea by the fast. running atmosphere." NEW LIGHT ON NATURE A new method of working back- wards in an effort to discover how sunlight 4s captured and convert- ed into food and fuel for man has been found, an Ohio chemist said last week. Speaking before the closing ses- sion of the American Chemical Society meeting at Milwaukee, Mis., Dr. Paul Rothemund, of An- tioch College, described the pro- cess of photosynthesis, in which chlorophyll, the green coloring matter in plants, absorbs sunlight, as one of the principal mysteries of the universe. A new approach to unlocking its secrets has been found, however, in the discovery that the process will work in reverse and that chlorophyll will give off light as well as absorb it.

Bell with the co-gperation of the various departments of the Ontario ~~ Agricultural College, Guelph.) Q. -- "I have about 5 acres of very light, sandy land on which it is hard to grow anything. It is badly in need of manure, but there is'no available supply. There used to be a lumber mill on the property, and there is a pile of sawdust which has been accumu- lating for about fifty years, but there has not been any added for about fifteen years, and it is pret- ty well rotted more or less. Could this be used as a source of humus, and would it be helped by the addition of agricultural lime to the sawdust? The land is alsé in need of lime." -- W. G., Brace- bridge. . A, -- Under the circumstances, I' think it would be well for your land to be plowed and top dressed with a moderate application of the rotted sawdust that you describe. After this is done, I would sug- gest that you apply at least one- half ton of grotnd limestone to the acre, and work both into the soil by discing or.harrowing. Let the land stand for about a week, and then sow it to oats or barley, seeded to a good mixture of clover and grass, or alfalfa. At the time you are sowing the grain and the grass seed, apply about 200 lbs. per acre of 2-12-10 fertilizer, if you can get same, This should give the crop a good start and make reasonable yield. It will also insure a catch of grass or legumes, After one cutting of grass next ------------ ---- Issue No. 40--'38 % year, I would suggest that you plow under the second crop when it has made good growth. This will add to the humus of your soil and build it up. Do not let the field stand bare as Fall plowed land in Fall of 1939, rather drill in or sow broad- cast about a bushel and a half of rye per acre sufficiently early in the fall so that it will have made good top before Winter comes. This will prevent washing of the soil, and will be further addition to the humus. A few years' treat- ment of this sort, adding the rot- ted sawdust in moderately large amounts and plowing in grain crops should build up your soil, especially if it is supplemented with suitable fertilizer over: three or four years. Canadian National Railways Revenues The gross revenues of the all- inclusive Canadian National Rail- ways System for the week ending Sept, 14, 1938, were ....$4,193,777 as compared with ........ 4,149,716 for the corresponding period of 1987, an FE -$ increase of 44,061 Speed Psychology Towa motorists are teaching the state Motor Department some les- sons in practical psychology. When the speed limit at Akeny, Ia., was 26 miles an hour, Acting Commis. sioner Horace Tate said, many mo- torists drove through without slowing down. Some went as fast as 60 miles an hour, But when the Akeny City Council raised the speed limit to 45 miles an hour, most motorists didn't go more than 40 miles an hour, / dicated by experiments made by Professor Hans H. Ussing, of the University of Copenhagen, who used heavy water mixed with the food of rats as a tracer to mark the tissues in which changes have taken place, the extent of the changes being indicated by the amount of heavy water found in the tissues at the close of the ex- periment. Dr. Ussing found after three days that 10 per cent. of the tis- sue of the liver had been newly formed from materials containing the heavy water, and 2.5 per cent. of the protein in the muscle tis- sue, If all of the tissues in the body were made *over at the rate the change took place in the muscle tissue, a rat's body would be com- pletely remade in about 120 days, or about a half-dozen times in the course of an average long life. There is a general belief that the human body renews itself once every seven year; but there are no reliable data on the subject. Eventually experiments similar to the foregoing will give us data on how rapidly the processes are in our own bodies. Afghan Aged 120 Cuts New Teeth Surpul, an Afghanistan village, has either the national record for longevity or else for exaggera- tion, It claims Afghanistan's oldest inhabitant, aged 120, and further tha: he has just cut new teeth.

One told of a race where the first horse won, through putting its tongue out of its mouth; the second man affirmed that a certain boat race was won through a new coat of paint. Oh! (said the third man) ['ve been in Aberdeen and saw a closer race than that! A man can forgive a hurt to his person or bank roll, but woe to the friend wko hurts his vanity. A man who gives in when he is wrong is wise and a man who gives in when he is right is mar- ried. Although we have no access to statistics, our general observation is that insanity is increasing. Completion of New Highway Expected by 1941 or 1942 The possibility of the trans-Can- ada highway' being completed by 1941 was foreseen by W. GQ. Robert- son, Toronto, general manager of the Ontario Motor League, in an ad- dress hefore the Essex County Club at Amherstburg last week. Robert: son recently returned from a North. ern Ontario tour with Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Provincfal Minister of Highways, Mr. Robertson said he was great- ly impressed by road work being pushed toward completion in North- ern Ontario. The roads being built are not leading into "a wilderness," he satd. Special Road Surface Used He noted that the Government had found practical a new low-cost hard surface road, which was be- ing installed in certain parts of the north at a cost of $2,000 and $3,000 a mile. One of the great difficul- ties in the past, muskeg and bog land, was now being crossed by highway after swampy quick-sand had been blasted, he added. Wild Carrot Seen As Real Menace Department of Agriculture Is- sues Warning That It Is Spreading in Ontario--How To Eradicate the Weed Wild carrot is spreading at an alarming rate in Ontario and is con- sidered one of the most objection- able weeds in the Province, says J. D. McLeod of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept. of Ag- riculture, Toronto. It is a blennial and requires two years to produce seed. Flowers may be seen from July to September in white clusters which are flat topped when open, When nearing maturity these flow- er clusters curl up and if plants are not destroyed they will break off during fall and winter scatter- Ing millions of seeds over frozen ground and snow. Thus, it will be seen that clean areas miles distant may be infested if plants are per- mitted to mature seed, The im- portance of destroying all plants immediately after they come in flower cannot be emphasized too strongly. Mr. McLeod states. Crop Rotation Helps This weed does not give any difil- culty in fields where thorough cul- tivation and a short rotation of crops is practised. Howgver in meadows, which are down two' years or more, in clover and tim- othy fields which are being kept for seed and in pasture fields, fence lines, waste places and roadsides it i8 rapidly becoming one of our worst weeds in that it smothers out pasture and hay crops, robs the soil of plant food and moisture and lowers the market value of seed crops. A short rotation--clovers, buck- wheat, lhoed crops and early sum- mer cultivation, followed by fall wheat or rye are excellent methods of controlling this pest. Pulling, spudding or cutting for two years In succession will not give new plants an opportunity to mature seed and will lessen the amount of Wild Carrot considerably. Chemical weed killers are the only practical solution for the con- trol of this weed on roadsides, fence lines and all areas where it is Im- possible to cultivate. U. S. Drivers Rank Behind Canadians QUEBEC.--United States' mo- "torists are quicker on the brakes, but Canadian motorists are better drivers, judging from the result of an international safe-driving con- test staged here this month during an insurance company's conven- tion. Three convention delegates from the United States, chosen at random for a braking test, showed half second reactions in applying the brakes and 58.6 per cent. aver- age in steering. The Canadian team averaged 68 per cent. in steering and five-eighths second in braking. "Funny Bone" When we strike the 'funny bone" of our elbow against some- thing and get a distinct shock, it is not the bone that gives it but the large nerve which comes down the arm past the elbow. As there is little flesh around the el- bow, this nerve is more often struck than others--and it is any- thing but "funny".
