carry two small boats over the shore ledge when the cutter could not reach shore two more small boats were sent by truck over the peace bridge from buffalo to aid the coaitguardsmen greatest concern

new powder has been invented by a detectiveinspector of police here which allows of direct copies of fingerprints being taken on sensitized paper without the use of a camera hitherto when a copy has been wanted of a fingerprint say on a rough wall it has been necessary to smear it with a powder in order to make it stand out to photograph it with the new powder it is only necessary to smear it on the finger print and a print can then be taken direct onto a specially sensitied paper record experiments with this method have been in process for some time and are stated to have met with com plete sucess ottawa- the bennett ministry in troduced the second of the present sessions reform measures to parlia ment last week and thereby gave the canadian fanner his first experience of the governments plans to better conditions it was an amendment to the exist ing canadian farm loan act which the ministry sponsored it extended the legislation to the farmers of on tario saskatchewan and prince ed ward island to whom it has net hitherto applied and increased from 15000000 to 90000000 the federal funds available under the act for loans to agriculture the federal bill which mr rhodes presented was of broad character taking the existing canadian farm loan act as its basis it extends it to the provinces of ontario saskatche wan and prince edward island the governments of which had not passed the legislation previously necessary to take advantage ot it in addition it sweeps away the provincial boards j through which the act has been ad ministered hitherto and appoints in their place a single federal board of four members headed by hon dr j 1 maclean present farm loan com- niissioiier and former premier of british columbia finally it raises the maximum of tie loans which may be granted under the act from the original figure of 15000000 of particular interest in the dis cussion which attended the debate on the measure was the prospect which the federal finance minister held out of a substantial reduction in the interest rate charged by the govern ment on farm loans at present down to 5 per cent there was the pos sibility air rhodes foresaw of an ultimate cut to live or even perhaps to 4a per cent determination of rate the rate mr rhodes explained is always determined by the cost of money to the farm loan board and uiis will continue to be the basis at first the rate was 5 per cent then it was reduced to four per cent since that time there has been another gen eral lowering in interest rates and while i cannot anticipate the- action of the government regarding this matter it looks as if the rate would bo lowered to si per cent the spread between the cost of money to tho board and to the borrower is another question but it has been the opinion of the commissioner dr i maclean that to keep the financial position of the board en a fair basis there should be asked two per cent to meet the costs of administration and to provide for a fund to take care of inevitable losses through unpaid loans that rate might however be reduced to iy per cent but it can never go below one per cent which is regarded as a minimum cost of ad ministration other features of the legislation which mr rhodes introduced was its abolition of the requirement of the past for borrowers and provincial governments to subscribe to the capital stock of the farm loan board to the extent of five per cent of the value of the loan negotiated lefthandedness sign of obstinacy calm and deliberate de niand justice for everybody london eng lefthanded people are calm and deliberate they demand justice for themselves and others and generally show a sort of de liberate obstinacy in the opinion of dr miilais culpin lecturer on psychoneuroses to the london hos pital medical college who address ed the association of teachers of speech and drama on the relation between stammering and lefthand edness if a child was pushed he said from lefthandedness to righthand edness the mechanical working of the brain was interfered with and a stutter was the result that was one view another was that the shifting produced mcnal conflicts and inter fered with the temper character and attitude of the child which ex pressed itself in a stammer which of those two views was right he did not know- dr e j boome director of speech therapy to the london county council education authority said he was convinced from his ex perience that stammering was de finitely curable it might take a long time but that was generally due to the lack of conviction of cure of the stammerer on the other hand if the practitioner had not sufficient faith in his own method he would never cure anybody helped equip first british hospital ship during boer war xew york mrs a a blow who at the turn of the
