Friendâ€" So much better that I now feel «afe in starting out with only three handkerchiefs instead of the dozen I usually take while it is going strong. It is just about this time of the year the child figures how he is go- ing to keep out of college, while dad figures how to keep him there. s Patâ€" When are you going to pay me that $10 for pasturing your cow? I've been keeping her now for ten weeks. Mikeâ€" Why, Pat, she ain't worth ten dollars. Pat â€" Well, suppose I keep her for what you owe me then? Mikeâ€" No. indeed, Pat, but I'll tell you what I'll do. You just keep her two more weeks and then you cau have her. Ontario Forestry Branch Acts Quickly Against Sawfly Catterpillar Sault Ste. Marie., Ont. â€" Im- mediate action by the Ontario For- estry Uranch has saved millions of young pine trees on the 5,784-acre Government plantation north of Thessalon from the ravages of the sawfly catterpillar, it was learned last week. Discovery of the sawfly at Thes- salon marked the first time it had been found in Northern Ontario. Forestry branch officials sprayed the trees, saving most of them from destruction. While investigating the sawfly at- tack, G. H. R. Phillips, chief forest- I er, and Rod Goodall, forester, found : the white pine weevil attacking I Scotch pine. j They were told by the entomo- ! logical branch at Ottawa this find iwas the first recorded attack of the white pino weevil on Scotch pine.

Prehistoric Chinese Women Wore Furs And Used Rouge Jewel â€" I asked Cleveland if the grapefruit was very juicy. Helen â€" And did he tell you. Jewelâ€" No, but I read the answer in his eyes.

Washintrton â€" Prehistoric Chinese women apparently wore fur coats and painted their faces thousands of years before modern women thought of the .-ame ideas, the Smithsonian Institution indicated recently In a report of its stone age excavations in northern China. The archeolo8i.«ts dug deep into the remains of a pre-historic village in Slian^i Province, where they found lumps of cinnabar â€" prehis- toric rouge â€" and indications that the population wore furs of 1500 B.C. style. The "villaga" sprawled over an area 500 miles long and 200 miles wide, C. W. Bishop, associate cur- ator of the freer gallery of art of the Smithsonian Institute, said. The inhabitants lived in bee-hive shaped houses, whose v.-alls were plastered, and whose only entrance was from the top. "Our prehistric Chinese were not Nomads wanderiniz about with their flocks." Bishop said. "They were planters depending for food on what they grew." If you tell the wife you would marry again, she is peeved â€" if you tell her you wouldn't on a bet, she is also peeved.

Addn*t •> CANADA'S FOREIGN TRADE GAINS The fact that Canada's foreign commerce has held up remarkably well, In comparison with that of other countries, during the four de- pression years from li)30 to 1934. Is revealed in an analysis just complet- ed by the s-atistlcal bureau of the League of Nations. World exports oh the gold dollar basii in the last four year.s, the ana- lysis sihows, have declinej 57.1 per- cent while those of Canada are down by only 49.9 percent. Thus, the Do- minion has resisted the decline more successfully than has the world as a whole; Japan alone, of the larger nations, has a bCvter record. Ttie ctMnparison; are interesting. The decline of Can.idian e.xport3 by 49.9 percent, contrasts with a decline of 66.9 percent, of the exports of the United States; with 57.2 percent, of those of the United Kingdom; with 65. S percent, of Germany; with 5S.4 percent, of France; and with 5S.1 percent, of Italy. Japans decline was approximately 47 percent., the only major exporting nation with a better record than our own. In the analysis reveals al'o that in poin: of volume of trade, Canada con- tributed 3.71 percent, of the total world exports in 1929. while last year she boosted her share to 3.99 per- cent. T'liat l5 interesting information â€" and encouraging. It is proof that Can. ada's fnreipn trade *i^s suffered less 'ban that of any other nation except Japan. It is interesting to note, too, that the Dominion now occupies sec- ond place as a source of supply for Great Britatin In contrast to fifth place ten years ago. Similarly. It has moved up from eighth place to fourth place in the ranks of Britain's cut- omers in the same period. â€" Stratford Beacon-Herald.

Warm Water Route Discovered In Arctic Moscow. â€" The Soviet ice breaker Sadko reported by wireless last week it had discovered a warm water passage through .\rctic ice which might be a section of an open ehan-: nel through wliich steamers could navigate to the Far East from Europe by way of the polar regions. George Ushakov, head of the e.\- pedition exploring AVctic areas, said '. the passage was 650 feet wide, cut- ting tiirough previously unexplored territory between Franz Josef Land and Nickolas the Second Land. He reported the water lane was flanked by fields of impassible ice. Ushakov, who also announced the discovery of a new island, said he believed the water was a part of the Gulf Stream. The passage was reported extending due north from the position of the Sadko, given as 81% decree northern latitude, ap- proximately 700 miles from ths North Pole. : Boy Problems Grow Up (An edi.orial from the Hotarlan Magazine). To most men, a boy is one of the most interesting things on earth. Xo two are alike. To one, Uhe description "a noise with dirt on it " may apply. Another will be shy and serious with oddly conflicting idea; struggling lor expression in action. Wise adults un- ders:and this, for they know that the growing period of a youngster Is above all a time for adjustments to a constantly expanding social and physical environment. But boys grow up, and so do their problems. Youngsters have had an e;peeially difficult time in making their adjustments in the past Uve years, for the condiJons about them with which they would come to terms have themselves been siliil'ting. Un- certainty in the world has hyper- complicated the task of ''getting set" faced by youth in the Inte teens and twenties. Every nation has its "youth prob- lem." Superficially, It may vary from country to country, but the same eco- nomic and social factors that baffle a young man in Nori^h America today underly tilie situation of the unad- justed youth in England, or France, or Australia, or elsewhere. Mrs. Wilson sat looking at the sea. She was alone becai:.se she was on a rest cure, 'but oh, how soothing it was, the friendly sea, to which sixe could talk and not have to listen to an answer. She marshalled the facts that had tumbled out of the blue in the past week. They were these. She was tired and ill; the doctor said she would have to have a change; there was little money. All the surplus they had was to be spent on Burk's M..\. course so he could teach. It •had been hard getting Burk through college, and now it seemed he needed more "letters'* to get him a school. But when Jerry, her husband, heard what the doctor had to say, he went oft and bought her a ticke; and gave her enough to pay her board at the little resort for a month. Burk had been pretty silent. He had not said anything, but she could not forget his blank look when be heard the news. UNEXPECTED TIDINGS In her hand now, flu.tered a night letter. She had read it over fifty times, but still she clung to at as one would hold a snake that would strike if released. Burk was married. He had brought his young wife home and that was ail there was to it. She was IS, did no: know a thing about house- work, and they had no money. Jerry wculd be frantic. She could picture the place with her away and Jerry making scenes. Her heart fluttered and she held her side. It was all her fault, if she had taken a •â- tand and refused to leave it would not have happened. What did Burk mean? He hadn't said anything abouc a girl; she hadn't known he was In love. He nev- er told her anything about his affairs, but she put that down to his being sensitive and s6y. although his father had another name for it. She tried to think back over the years. She had shielded him and shekered him. h.iil gone shabby time and again to set him the best of â- lothes. had taken few summer trip; so ho could go to camps; and then, as he got older, increased her at- tentions to keep .1 grip on his affec- tion that she felt was slipping. Cruel lifJe economif'S to keep him In poc- ket money: silence to his father over some of his boyish escapades. Extra desserts, perpetual laundering, light left on, bed turned down just so. MARRIAGE FOR SPITE And without a word to her, her boy had done this. He knew it would bring her home, too, at once. The telegram almos: seemed to say: ''Well, you shelved me this time, so I'll show you." No, she shrank from the thought; it wasn't true â€" Burk couldn't be like that. In her heart she knew it was the truth. The boy had lost sight of every tJiing but himself. Gratitude '/ She had supposed all children par- tially grateful for what their parents did. But the scales had fallen. Pa- rents meant nothing to children now- adays. Only a source of supply. And it had been ber fault. They would be expecting her now by next train. Suddenly she sat up and threw the telegram through the rail. She walk- ed down to the office and sent this message, "Congratulate Burk, but tell him he is stronger than I am. Will not come home. Kent the house furnished if you can and join me here. Burk can support Mary it he takes that job at Meyers." When Tiurk got the word he exclaimed "She couldn't take it, eh? My own mother. Come on, M.ary. we'll get out and stay out if we starve. 1 thought she was my friend. Well, this ends it. Shell never see me again." Ottawa. â€" The Bank of Canada' has now been functioning for six months. It commenced activities March 11. i In the period elapsed, a total of $87,000,000 of the old Dominion notes have been withdravn from circulation and replaced by the smaller Bank of Canada notes. When the central bank opened there was $98,000,000 of Dominion notes outstanding. Now there is about $11,000,000. The total of both Bank of Canada and Dominion notes out- standing August 28 was $80,000,000.' On January 1 next the chartered banks of Canada will be required to reduce circulation of their own notes five percent-, the first of the cuts under the new Bank Act which over a period of years will see char- tered bank notes in circulation gra- dually reduced to a minimum. Al- ready the chartered banks are tak- ing stsps to be ready for this five percent, contraction. There's No Tobacco like Ogden's "That's why "roll-your-ownets*' everywhere are getting back to Ogden 's Fine Cut â€" the one tobacco that assures cigarette satisfaction, Anci Ogden 's costs so little that it doesn't pay to deny yourself the best tobacco.

For Homes Costing $10,000 Or More. Ottawa. â€" Under the new Domin- ion Housing .\ct there will not be any limitation on the size and cost: of any house a person availing him- 1 self of the terms of the act wishes] to build. There already have been' inquiries from persons wishing to borrow to build homes costing $10,- ! 000 and more. I In this regard it is pointed out that the purpose of the act is to as- 1 sist in the building of more homes ^ and while the hope is that it will mean a large increase in the type, of homes suitable for the greater mass of the people, there is the conclusion that the building of higher-class homes will also con- tribute to more employment and greater use of Canadian building materials. j Interpretations of the act are' be-! ing made as points arise. For in-: stance, it has been ruled that whie the act permits borrowing of 80 per cent- of the cost of a home, it is not ncessary to borrow that much if a prospectve builder has an equity' higher than 20 percent. Further, it has definitely been laid down that no second-hand or shoddy materials shall be used in homes constructed with money borrowed under the act.

He has just retired as leader j of his tribe and at present is enjoy- 1 ing a little holiday in the city. | One indication of a sharp 'Winter, in the offing, he said, was that ducks are very lean this season and musk-' rats are also scarce in the north. I Issue No. 38 â€" '35 Fake British Employment Agencies To Be Closed: Fake employment agencies are to be put out of business in Britain. The Ministry of Labor is consid-| ering establishing a special Labor i Exchange in London which will de-l vote its whole attention to finding; domestic employment. I This bureau will serve the double purpose of finding employment fori girls from the distressed areas, and ; checkin.v: the activities of agencies j which exploit girl.i There is a certain type of agency; in London which brings girls from, the North-East and from South! â- ^'ales on tiie promise of finding them domestic employment. | -•Vfter extracting a fee from the girls these agencies send them to^ situations which the girls cannot' tolerate. I The proposed domestic exchange' charging no fees to either mistress' or maid, will carefully investigate the bona-fide of all employers. | Ontario Woman Records Her Impressions Of Visit j No need to go to Alaska to be cool or to Egypt to see the pyramids, according to Mre. E. B. Flint, of London, Ont., who witli her husband, attended the Kotary International Convention in .Mexico City. It's never too hot and never too cool down there and the Aztec pyramids are almost as interesting as tlie famous ones on the banks of the storied Nile. Mexico, situated 7,500 feet above sea level, has an even temperature, never above 78 and never below 60, the visitors were told. It has re- tained many quaint customs and as yet has no lar.ae stores and few tourists, owing to the lack of good motor roads. In a city of more than 1.000,000 inhabitants there are only two ma- chine laundries, Mrs. Flint Laid, for the women still adhere to the primi- tive method of washing their ^:lothes in the streams with a flat rock to rub on. The fruit and flower mar- kets were a sight. The pyramids built by the -Aztecs several hundred years ago, were of great intei'est, Mrs. Flint said, and not the least amazing feature was a primitive but effective shower in- stalled in a niche in the wall. The delegates had a Mexican dinner in a restaurant made in a cave below the pyramids. The Floating Gardens, where land is so valuable that no houses are built on it, was also another place of interest. It is possible to raise seven crops of corn a year on this land, and if a man sells a strip he merely digs another canal instead of building a fence to define the boun- dary. New Light Aids Dentists Rays Of The Mercury-\apor Arc A Help In Diagnos- ing Defects ' The blue-green rays of the mer. cury-vapor arc, under which the skin appears dead and the veins look like dark rivers, has its dental uses. Gums turn purple â€" almost black; teetti fluoresce and stand out brJliantly whi;e. All this makes diagnosis eas- ier. According to information supplied by A. B. McKenna. Westinghouse engineer, we distinguish red only when red rays are present in th» illuminating rays. Reduce the num. ber of colors in light and the appear- ance of an object changes. It turns black, gray or the color of the rays that shine upon it. Hence the con- trasts are siiarpcued. Apply this to the mercury.vapor arc. It Is predom;iiantly blue, green, yellow. Flood the mouth with light of these hues only and the gums, ton- gue anil tissues, having no red light to reflect, turn dark purple. On tixe o:her hand, diseased or affected tis- sues do not change in aspect simil- arly. Hence there is a sharp contrast between siniiid and unsound portions of gum. The course of the blood ves- sels is more easily traced. Abscesses and inflamed areas are accentuated. With the teeth it is the same. Tar- tar and film deposi.s do not fluoresce^ but healthy enamel does. Enamel de- fects betray themselves by differences in density. Ragged fillings and super- ficial decay reveal themselves at once.
