He compared hie writings with those of other English poets and prose writers. Many characters described in the works of Dickens were dis- cussed briefly, and Dr. Tamblyn spoke of the sharp observation* and keen wit displayed in the writings of Dick­ ens and of the haughty attitude be appeared to display over his^T^c.-ioMr The speaker in the ^urse of his remarks,-referred to t^e .fact,that Christmas appeared to be on the wane in England in the time of Dick­ ens and it was through his writings and efforts that it was revived. As the result of hi* Christmas stories Dickens came to be referred to by the children in many instances os Saint Dickens. Reference was also made by Dr. Tamblyn to n visit Diekens made to Canada In May, 1842, at which time he visited in Montreal and Toronto.

Instinct­ ively arid at once the American people knew they must resist. 'Like the people of Britain, they have been more ready than most ot their leaders to follow : through. ’They welcomed a gigantic arms program and conscription. They made plain their desire to aid Britain. Lately they have become impatient with the slowness of the common defense effort. Their pur­ pose now, finds an effective instrument in President Roosevelt’s plin for quick transfers of war materials to the British?- This newspaper has frequently compared aggression to a fire and pointed to the necessity for some form of collective.action, soijte fire department. Mr. Roose­ velt uses the same figure, but recognizing that there/ is today no world fir* department, says that if your neighbor’s hpuse is lAiming you lend him your gar­den hose. You don"/ try to sell it to him or haggle about a trade, but/do expect it or a new hose to be returned when the fire is out. Thus he would lend— or sell under m^Arage—AmericaipgTrhs, ships, planesand materia'4,"* Britain with an agreement to get them or theX equivalents back after the war.

Compared with the alternatives, this plan may prove more simple and speedy than any. Today, the United States having made its decision to resist totalitarianism, the essential is decisive action to makes resistance effective.—The Christian Science Monitor.

London Shelters Can Have Unpoisoned Water A pump filter has been specially designed by a London firm for puri­ fying tainted water in the event of the Nazis using poison gas in future air raids. It is a simple instrument, not much heavier than a garden syringe, yet the cylinder of activated char­ coal through which the contaminated water is pumped assures an ade­ quate and safe supply of clean water to people in air raid shelters. Portable pump filters of similar design are being regularly sent over­ seas. They are equally valuable in . securing to scientific and prospecting missions a pure supply of water from streams or standing pools. Mrs. C, H.

War Industry | The women of Britain are going without new sik stockings this winter to supply the increasing demand from overseasyfor British furnishing fabrics. Despite the temporary1 loss of important markets , including Scandanavia, the makers of these fabrics are sending abroad ,to-day more than they did before the war. ‘ Exiles from the invaded countries are now making their special Con­ tributions to a craft dating far back into the centuries, which, for* gener­ ations, has furnished the Royal Houses of Britain and other coun­ tries. Belgium and Holland were Re­ nowned for their folk weavers. Italy for her quilted tapestries and dam­ asks. France for her exclusive "Per­ iod” designs. Craftsmen from these countries are now, with a new var-: iety in design and fresh colour treat­ ment, definitely influencing an in­ dustry which tradition may have left somewhat conservative. Although at least two-thirds of the workers are women, essential crafts­ men are reserved where necessary to carry out the new designs, and all of them keep weaving unless raiders are actually overhead. This new ban on the sale of real silk stockings, the limitation of other textiles for the home market, and strict controls over cotton, wool and silk yield to the industry a steady supply of the material necessary for export There has also been estab­ lished a special Export Group which sees to it that nothing is allowed to hinder orders, from this supply of the raw material to the delivery of the goods. £1,000,000 A MILE World’s First Underground Railway Celebrates Its Jubilee The world’s first tube railway cele­ brated its Jubilee in December. It is fifty years since Edward the Seventh, then Prince of Wales, inaugurated tUa pioneer line running south from . the City of London under the Thames. Its original three miies of track is now two hundred, construct^ ed at an average cost of £1,000,000 a mile. To-day it is operated by Lon­ don Trasnport, serving a population of almost 10,000,000 souls^.One line, twenty-five miles long, is believed to tn, the longest tunnel in the world. Underground railways everywhere, in Paris, New York, Berlin- .and Buenos Aires, owe their existence to the maker of London's first Under­ ground. James Henry Greathead bored through the blue London clay with a shield. As his shield was pushed forward, so the section bored was lined with cast-iron segments. In his first tunnel Greathead took on a job from which even Brunel, one of the most famous civil engineer!! of the yktorian era, had shrunk. The completion of the world's first tube railway was the reward of his per­ severance.From the original* Greathead Shield developed the rotary excavator shield forced forward by hydraulic rams as its spinning cutters throw bock the ’dirt*. To-day two great British en­ gineering firms make for export these rotary excavators evolved from Greathead's invention. SHEPHERD’S. CROOKS and WALKINtr'STICKS OM Englivk Craft At Work in War Tima AVOID DIRTY HANDS On a street-car the other day, a poor woman, ill dressed, thin of body and with a bright spot on her cheek, coughed incessantly as she struggled to reach the door of exit. She was alive to the da nger of her cough to others for she held a gloved hand in front of her mouth. But as she passed along, she grasped the strap, the rail and the margin of the door with this hand. Dear knows what she left, for others to pick up. The car rapidly filled up. The crowd, some with gloved and others with bare hands, clung to straps, stanchions and. door-jambs. One beautiful, flaxenhaired child of- 5 or o years, carried on her mother’s arm reached out and grasped with her uncovered little, hand the very spot lately pressed by the poor woman. Almost immediately the child put’ her fingers in her mouth. Her mother slapped the child who began to cry. To soothe'her hurt the mother gave her a stick of candy. This, held in the hand that had grasped the strap she passed to her mouth. What a chance for infection! < , Such incidents are of a daily, al- most .hourly‘occurrence everywhere o'ne feoes. ’ That nearly everyone-is not infected by di-iaao is due to a divine providence which looks after the innocent The vast majority of people, most of whom know better, pay too little attention to the cleanliness of the bands. They got to the table with­ out washing; to bed in the same con­ dition and wonder when they awake In the morning why it ia that they have a cold, a sore throat or aching limbs, the manifest result of hand- borne infection due to personal carelessness. 'In children especially there is a natural affinity between mouth, nose and fingers.. Every new toy placed in the child’s ^dlnds, invariably gpes to the mouth. Grown-ups uncon­ sciously finger mouth, nose, lips and ears without being sure that the finger* are clean. Children should be taught to keep the hands clean and to keep them away from the mouth and nose. /aebrought throat and < ' tiling is essential in the ca rheumatic fever. For,the sake of hfs future health, the patient muk* stay in bed under the doctor’s cart until long after all fever and pain have disappeared.

Many small children suffer from "growing pains” and many pay dearly for it in after life. - Growing pains are frequently due to unrecognized rheumatic fever. Many.- youngsters, whose parents neglect these signa, gfbw up to suffer or die from resultant but unsuspecU ed, heart affections.
