womans chatter by mair m morgan toronto girl weds dram list spring i have tried to refrain from burbling about the signs of spring however most everyone is in the same mood and per haps will appreciate and sympathize with another sufferer even if one ignores the weather the steadily increasing heat of the suns rays or the pitterpatter of rain making the atmosphere warm and moist the crowds pouring forth from the office buildings here in toronto positively shriek of the joyous season brilliant dabs of hats colorful scarves quick steps chatter smiles grins quick sharp laughter echoes from feminine two somes and loud guffaws from masculine foursomes spring is again conducting the orchestra of human emotions an amusing true story this titbit is going the rounds of london and

is a shame and this province is to be congratulated oi taking this step i inking simplified the australian bsnjks are next on the list of congratula tions we understand the special womens departments in the head ofiices of trading banks are increasing in popularity wo mens banking departments are quite common in the united states but only a few banks in australia have adopted the practice so far it is easy for a person not acquainted wtih bank ing customs to feel overawed when facing an army of tellers ledgerkeepers and clerks the womens departments eliminate any embarrassment by handling the whole transaction at one counter if she wants to send money out of australia she need only say the word and the clerk prepares the necessary forms if she intends to travel the clerk guides her steps through the intricacies of letter of credit to the travel department where she may book her passage in short all the little technicalities that are apt to worry the uninitiated are removed from her shoulders and while they are being attended to on her behalf she can retire to the lounge and enjoy the latest magazines and newspapers if this hasnt been tried in canada we might profit thereby it

her summers night i expect ed be pleased again vith people of charming behavior however i was disappointed i suspect that the plot of this latest book has long been in her mind it has been said that comparisons are always odious and in the case of unfinished symphony it is doubly true the tale revolves around one helena brought up by a disillusioned father on a sunny isle in the mediterranean on the death of her father she is suddenly transplanted into the 1933 atmosphere of london to my mind helenas lack of con ventions is pitiable and the persons surrounding her who have learned to bow to lifes demands of 1933 incite my keenest admira tion the study is worthwhile reading if only to see and appreci ate ones own behavior theoafdei ff- gordon lindsay jsmitkw mr and mrs jo milward after

writing in the havvard graduates magazine we get some idea of the serious situation when dean miner says that competent authorities assure us that caries toothdecay is today practi cally universal among the school child ren of the united states and that pyorrhea affects the majority of the adults past mddle life he goes on to sketch this grave picture of the situation dr wynne new york commission er of health estimates that to give the dental treatment required by the children in the public schools of now york- alono would cost 11000000 a year to deal with the problem for the whole country by the usual method of instrumentation mouth by mouth and tooth by tooth would be literally im possible there is no enough money to do it and if there uere there are not enough dentists the situation is like that presented in the past by other mass population diseases such as malaria typhoid hookworm yellow fever and the like curative treatment becomes impractic able by reason of the sheer extent of the ailment and prevention must be sought to that point the dental prob lem has come dentistry must now resort to pre vention and prevention means first re search to find the causes the crisis affords the dental school a great op portunity for service and leadership for this it must equip itself with laboratories and skilled specialists in research so that it may lead in finding the causes of the dental maladies and in making effective conquest of these plagues simple bathing garb free beauty clinic opened in vienna general hospital vienna a free clinic for beauty operations

beacon of the world measuring 700 meters or 2310 feet the task of determining whether such a structure can be built has been intrusteu to m eugene freyssinet the well known french engineer he has passed many days and weeks in enlcu- latii g and planning ltd has finally come to the conclusion that the pro ject is in no way impracticable in his mind the tower should be tilt of concrete and of a simple shape i eferably polygonal or almost circular its base would occupy a con siderable surface and the tower wouid ljtome thinner with height on a wide platform established at the top visitors could enjoy high altitude sun rays and forget all about the weather conditions in the earth a sy tern of winding tracks sloping at an eightdegre angle would enable automcbiles to reach a first platform with a vast garage at a height of some 1600 feet special cars thn would transport tourists to the higher plat form according to m freyssinet the cost o tho building would not exceed 2000000 less than was spni on the eiffel tower in fact the beacon could be made much higher 1000 meters or 3300 feet but this would ncce sitote a much greater expendi ture he said naturally the beacon of the world could not be erected in paris cut a suburb like the mont valtrien is believed by freyssinet to be quite appropriate for his bold plan in the small garden vegetables should be limited to those things which give the most returns for the space occupied thoso which lose their freshness quickly after picking and those which are wanted in small quanj tities often and usually at the last minute in the first class beans car rots swiss chard celery staked to- motoes cucumbers beets and rhubarb are suggested these can all be grown close together will produce big crops and require very little attention under the heading of freshness there will be peas and corn true they both occupy a lot of room and more than average space will be needed but neither of them taste the same as when picked within a couple of hours of when served for handy things of course lettuce either head or leaf and onions both of the green variety from dutch sets and the other bulbous kind have places of their own it grown in the back garden they will al ways be there when wanted to these two other salad materials like cress and endives might be added in haud- ling vegetables under theso or any conditions it is essential that several plantings at tenday intervals are made so that there will be a continu ous and fresh supply coming on lawns seeding down is the cheapest meth od of establishing a lawn and as one has some control over the quality of grass and the freedom from weeds it is also the most satisfactory one should spend a week or two in level ling the piece of ground dig thor oughly and rake as

nursing babies aged from one to seven months were tested the device employed consisted es sentially of wooden boxes or frames to which six baskets were hung by lengths of cord steeped in paraffin and insulated at intervals by nonconduct ing substances the bottoms of tho baskets were not many feet above the floor of tha room which was of cement covered with linoleum layers of earth were joined up with the bars of the heating apparatus of the hospital and in close contact with the wooden frames were a bar ometer a thermometer and a psych- rometer these made possible testa of the progressof the experiment to avoid errors due to inequalitiea of diet and general external condi tions the experiments were alter nated three of the babes were first in sulated for eight days later on every thing being otherwise equal they were placed in contact with tho ground for eight days during the same interval the other babes were first left on the ground and then insulated comparisons between the states ot each babe were duly made contact of the babes with tho ground was effected by means of a pliable gilded lace around the foot this lace or cord in turn was connect ed with the layer of earth the insulated babes had a ring ot the same lace free and loose around the ankle the electrical capacity of tha babes in relation to the earth was de termined measurements were taken from time to time of the differences of po tential between the babes and the earth through the establishment of con tact by means of a subchlorid of mer cury battery during the experiment the dissipa tion of electrical energy throughout the atmosphere was considerable for the period august 319 1932 was par ticularly stormy the final results ot the experiment showed that the babes yielded growth curves in weight much
