health convention in vancouver took a report compiled from statements of medical health officers in 43 canadian cities show ing that the average milk consump tion is less than one cup and a half per person per day as babies toddlers and growing children should consume at least one quart of milk per day and more than a pint is usually used in coffee or te- for one individual the average is much below health requirements it was stated the lower income groups are not using milk as they should one of the officials of the department said in cities in particular the average milk consumption is low and there are still districts where milk is re garded as a luxury and education is necessary miss pepper will take charge of a milk utilization exhibit at the pub lic health convention then visit

is omitted street gas may be eliminated five ways of dealing with it have been proposed new york most insidious of all gases is carbon monovide which is exhausted by every auto and which is the principal ingredient of street gas it is colorless and odorless and so poisonous that in the holland tunnel and elaborate ventilating system holds it down to about four parts in ten thousand of air such is the men ace that both here and abroad chem ists for years have been trying to make street gas harmless before it reaches the kitchen stove nothing can be done about the exhaust of automobiles five methods have been proposed first method wash out the car bon monoxide with a solution of cop per salts under high pressure it turns out that the tanks corrode and that too much solution must be used something like 3000 cubic meters for 100000 cubic meters of gas second method make the carbon monoxide combine with some organic substance at a temperature of 120 de grees c and high pressure there is no market for the product sodium formate third method liq icfying and then separating the carbon monoxide high pressures and low temperatures are essential these are obtained only at high cost liquefying the gas also condenses other valuable consti tuents that have a high heat value to restore these to the kitchen gas would be an expensive procedure moreover street gas has a pro nounced odor this is removed hence lsaks would not be easily detected by mere smelling fourth method transform the car bon monoxide into an innocuous yet inflammable combination by treating street gas with steam the procedure is uneconomical because 100 times more steam is required than is theoretically demanded if the amount of steam is cut down to only ten times that demanded by theory a gas is obtained which still contains about 3 per cent carbon monoxide fifth method convert street gas into methane or marsh gas with hy drogen methane is harmless yet it burns a certain success has been achieved in germany by combining the fourth and fifth methods street gas is treated with enough steam to reduce the carbon monoxide content to 4 per cent thereupon the treated gas is combined with hydrogen to form methane dresses facsimiles of famous people mine is the most fascinating work says puppets dressmaker boston attractive edith dust man who looks as if she ought to be in the movies or

comet by chance his success like that of other professional and ama- teui comet catchers is due to per sistence to disregard of summers heat and winters cold and to hard methodical work most of the comets whose dis covery is a matter of chance arc big ones usually they have ap proached the earth from the direc tion of the sun and have been hid den by the solar glare until they were astronomically speaking al most upon us then they might ap pear in the morning or evening sky to thousands of watchers at the same time a comet close to the sun might flaro suddenly into view during a total eclipse a few comets have total eclipse a few comets have been bright enough to be plainly- visible in the daytime the comets for which mr peltier and his fellow enthusiasts all over been found in one year very few of them ever become visible to the nak ed eye as the peltier comet is ex pected to do around august 1 the discoverer has the satisfaction of having his comet named for him but his joy over finding something new in the heavens transcends all thought of praise or reward most comet hunters are amateurs for the reason that professional as tronomers are as a rule busy with work which they consider more im portant the amateur uses a tele scope of low power and rather wide field with this he slowly sweeps a section of the sky then raises or lowers the instrument slightly and repeats the process he may spend hours at this task if ho spies a fuzzy patch ol light he stops and cx- cmines it closely it may be a nebu la ho consults a sky chart to find out if there is no nebula there his pulse beat begins to quicken but he docs rot jump at conclu sions he knows that if the object is a comet it must be moving among the stars so ho watches it for an hour or more mr peltier is

23 years as pre sident of the wellesley college miss ellen fitz pendleton has seen and approved a wide expansion in the careers open to women graduates but she remains unconcerned over the feminist plea that women should compete with men in every field of endeavor she still believes that the career of homemaking which some 00 per cent of wellesley graduates enter is of considerable importance miss pendleton has built 14 gothic buildings on the beautiful lakeside campus has increased the faculty sal aries added 50 to the teaching staff while keeping the student body con stant at 1500 and brought welles ley through the depression with no cuts in staff or salaries her views therefore have the weight of one who is- successful both as an educa tor and as an administrator the field of work for women is broadening every year she said to an interviewer alumnae fill such interesting positions as for example landscape architects chemical techni cians moving picture scenario writ ers personnel workers investment counsellors and publishers one has built up a large practice as a tree and plant doctor and another ruth nichols has spent her time breaking records as an aviatrix nevertheless i do not believe that women should compete with me in all occupations as some feminists have advocated if there is work she fits into well and good but she should not attempt ev ery jqb practically all our graduates who entered upon a career used to be come teachers and whereas we once had more students who wanted to teach than there were places avail able now we have more calls for teachers than we can fill because of the shift to new kinds of work teaching has again become a field of opportunity for college women there are more good positions avail able here than in most lines posi tions leading to executive work as head mistresses principals deans ad visers some girls do not relish the idea of being a teacher because chey think the teachers job as dry as dust on the contrary it is vitally interest ing and 7carly becoming more so as the heads of schools and advisers of students go into social work more and more in connection with their school administrative positions to day they study the backgrounds and surroundings of their students so thoroughly that they need to use their training in psychology and soc iology fully as much as that in edu cation the training of scholars and the preparation for professional careers is important but far more important is the training of our college women to be citizens in their home commun- ties whether they are raising a family or teaching or are in busi ness or the professions or are ladies of leisure they should stand for the best in the community life and take part in promoting the welfare of their own home towns and the world at large much of the best work is quietly and unasumingly done some of the most telling strokes for better ment have been struck by women who were unadvertisod and whose names

legislation in six provinces in the last 15 years one of the most perplexing and tra gic questions in all social work in canada according to the recent re port of miss charlotte vvhitton exe cutive director of the canadian wel fare council vital statistics show the number of children born out of wedlock is steadily increasing and the rate in canada though the third lowest in the world ha risen the inererse be ing consistent in all provinces miss vhitton includes among ciii causes influenc ing the problem inadequate wages poor living conditions for girls of low income whether boarding or at home widespread idlenes and unem ployment and quite frankly what might be described as a speeding up of the pace of living and a conse quent profound change in traditional standards and attitudes to funda mental moral values relate i to this problem sin says is the question of whethoi though organized and commercializ ed vice has been brought undei greater control promiscuous prosti tution is not seriously increasing it would be expected that tin lower marriage rate due in part to the insecurity of employment and the de age of marriage arising from the same cause would explain the higher rate miss wliitton says referring to the number of illegiti mate children but the actual rata is now increasing beyond what can be explained by improved statistics there are of course the prcdis posing individual factors of deficient mental endowment moral sense and others which will aiways exercise tho most direct influence in problems of this nature but these are aggravated and other groups affected by contri buting social causes as well she pointed out this fact brings its challenge as do the unsatisfactory laws still pro- vailing in three provinces and the indifferent provisions for administra tion in others miss whitton sayi the question of adequate guardian ship for those children whose moth ers retain their custody and of aid in maintenance for mothers who can partially support their children calls urgently for more examination and thought than it is receiving dont be elbow conscious this slimmer the parish of mcopham kent is the longest village in the country it is

elbows are con cerned you wont find anything much more satisfactory than your old favorite fresh lemon juice simply keep half of a lemon on tho bathroom shelf then whenever you wash your hands twirl it around on your elbows rinsing and drying them carefully afterward to keep arms soft and smooth from wrists to shoulders begin with three or four tissue cream treatments then use your hand lotion several times a day if bumpy roughness sort of goose flesh is persistent massage briskly with a rough towel after each bath if you have a fib rous wnsh cloth use it during your bath then too salt rubs often will sti mulate circulation in the arms and clear up roughness and underskin bumps simply wash your arms rinse then without drying at all cover with handfuls of plain table salt and rub gently rinse again and apply cream or softening lotion as for shoulders your longhandled bath brush is your best ally scrub meticulously if this doesnt make them pearly white mix lemon juice with equal parts of water and use as a bleach wear and tear inquisitive old lady how did you happen to lose your forefinger guide at cango caves well you see i have been a guide around the caves for 20 years and i
