It was necessary however , to hold 2,500 pieces of which no record of address could be found. These may later find their way to their destination if addressees make application or information can other­ wise bq obtained.

The brain waves, heart throbs and breathing pat­ terns of each recruit are being studied by the Clinical investigation unit of the Canadian National Defence Department- ( The research work of this unit in this new branch of medical science has aroused the admiration of mil­ itary doctors and scientists ell over the world. Canada requires thousands of physically fit young men to man the fighting and bombing aircraft of the air force when they have completed their intensive training under the British Commonwealth Air Train­ ing Plan. This research ensures that the selection system for this mass production will be as sound as is humanly possible. The Medical Selection Boards eliminate men who have certain physical conditions which from past ex­ perience are known to be a handicap to an airman. But these physical conditions are not apparent in the ordinary medical examination and so the Clinical Investigation Unit has created equipment in its lab­ oratory which precisely simulates conditions at any altitude desired and at any degree of speed. Special attention is paid to see if recruits have any heart damage which might be resultant from mild or perhaps unnoticed rheumatic fever in childhood. The young man with this condition might never be­ come aware of it if he leads a normal life on the ground. But once he encounters abnormal conditions in the air the results might well be fatal. The Inves­ tigation Unit seeks out these cases not only to save a human life but in the knowledge that a failure of that life under certain conditions might well mean the loss of a £50,000 bomber, the loss of the £10,000 or so that was necessary to train a full bomber crew and the loss of the four or five highly trained mem­ bers of the crew. The first class athlete with a poten­ tial cai^iac condition might well succumb to the lack of oxygen he would encounter at 12,000 feet. Ordinary clinical means .will not always discover ■ these relatively mild weaknesses of the heart but >the Investigation Unit employs the electrocardiogram which produces a graphic record of the electrical ac­ tivities of the heart Work is being done in a similar manner to find those, airmen who-may not be able to accustom them­ selves to the drastic changes of position which their air duties impose. Some men become air sick every time they take to the air, others only under bad con­ ditions. Certain of these are so sensitive and exper-' > *ience such nausea and feebleness that their efficiency is dangerously impaired despite the fact that their courage would have them carry on. ‘ The Investigation Unit is using equipment, whic^ cfosely simulates changes in position and .thus, enables authorities to weed out those who would otherwise ultimately prove unsuitable. In this way a great amount of time and money that would be spent in training these men for air duties is saved and the men are directed into different classes of work. 10,000,000 Messages From Britain Britain has “delivered the goods” 10,000,060 times in the past year. Soon after the war, British exporters decided that the excellence of British products coupled with the fact that orders from abroad were fulfilled to time be brought home to overseas customers. A number of methods of doing this were adopted. Here' is one of them. A Stencilling Committee was appointed to co-op­ erate with the various Export Group* In the past year, the Union Jack surmounting the slogan “Britain delivers the goods,” has been stencilled on 10,000,000 packing cases containing goods for overseas buyers. The cases have ranged in size from those contain­ ing motor-cars—on these cases the lettering is a foot or more high—to small cases of high-quality goods. More and more British exporters are now using these stencils and soon every dockside throughout the free world, every warehouse, every road and railway in the farthest comers of the earth will carry Brit­ ain’s message.

In any.language it spells nourish­ ment. Included in all diets, whether the purpose • be to reduce, build up or merely to maintain a normal healthful standard, milk is the only substance which nature has created solely for food, and is practically indispen-able. From a glance at statistics, the latest’ available being those for 1938, we see that Canadians < consume on the average of ,82 pinta of milk per day John E.

Well, physically it is a whitish yellowish fluid secreted t>y the mammary glands of female mammals for the nouri'hnwnt of their young. Chemically, it ta a liquid composed basically of water, protein, fat and other heat and energy producing materials Milk varies in degree* of concentration, depending upon the type of mammaL However, all milk contains minerals, vitamin* and sugars and 'these e—entia] contents form th* foundation of modern dietaette*.

To-day flax grown in Norfolk is a valuable contribution to the needs of the fine linen and damask makers in Northern Ireland, two of whose for­ mer sources of suand Holland, are nj The greater part of asks woven in Ulstl export to the Uni whom this trade is worth many mil­ lions a year: in 1939 the States im­ ported 22,000,000 dollars worth, mostly from the 'United Kingdom. More interesting, at 'the moment, is the supply of Ulster linen to the troops of Greece. Linen to make the “fustanella” or kilt of the Greek regiments of Evzones has been ex­ ported from Ulster to Greece for some years. It is still regarded as an essential part of their equipment: -the red skull cap and tassel, the sleeveless jacket, and, chiefly the kilt or flounced skirt of Ulster linen worn over the tights of lambskin wool and finishing with the shoes of rope soles and turned-up toes with black pom­ poms. It was when he paid a two day visit to Sandringham some weeks ago that the King discussed the whole problem of next year’s flax crops with his agent, Mr. Fellowes, who had special leave from his military duties with the Scots Guards for the occasion. Then the King, who had made a careful study of reports sent him by the Ministry of Agri­ culture, the Government of Northern Ireland, and the Linen Trade Asso­ ciation, told Mr. Fellowes that he considered it of the first importance to increase the flax output of this country, and, to give other Norfolk land owners and farmers a lead, he had decided to set aside a much • larger proportion of his land for the purpose this year. - Ulster linen makers, delighted at the King’s interest in their industry, recently caused approaches to be made to present the King and- Queen with some especially fine sheets and bed linen, woven from their own flax. But the King and Queen who already have two super­ fine handkerchiefs of Ulster linen made from Sandringham flax, a sou­ venir of their Coronation visit, de­ clined the gift. The King has decided that all such courtesy gifts, especially of vital export materials must bv postponed until after the war. Sum, H Nagle of Ingersoll, was elected Count/" ' Master and Rev. R. J.

The site of this great new block is only half a-mile from St Paul’s Cathedra), and at present bouses part of an organization with an in­ ternational repute for the refining and preparation of precious metals. Long associated with the history of platinum refining, this organization produced, in 1876, an International Standard Metre in an alloy of ten per cent. Jridio-Platinum. It was made to the' order of the Paris Commission Internationale du Metre, and dupli- -_cat«a were subsequently ordered by many governments including those of Argentine and Brazil. Among its other activities are the manufacture of rolled gold and liquid gold, both of which were de­ veloped during the last war when German supplies ceased to be avail­ able.

CHINA’S NEW WATERWORKS Beyond the Burma Road, in the Szcheuan ,Province, British hydraulic engineers are now going full speed ahead on two of China’s vast new electrical undertakings. Throughout the bombing of the Road, Great Britain was sending continuous supplies of machinery into China whose water supply is one of the most abundant in the world. Germany is no longer able to compete with Britain in supplying machinery for harnessing this water power, not a only because German ships cannot get across the seas butalso because the Germans kave no nickel, cobalt or chromium to spare, and these metals are essential to machinery which comes into contact • with water. The Gorman* carried through Eire’s gigantic Shannon scheme, but it is significant that Eire’s new scheme, the harnessing om the swift­ moving waters of the Liffey, has '^ been given to British engineers. In war time Britain is sending hy­ draulic machinery not only over to Eirt> and out to China but to Canada, New Zealand, Tanganyika, Mauritius and Turkey.

Only then can you know the true facts. We are keenly interested in young people’s vj^ion. Why not bring your child to us and know for certain that poor eyesight is not handicapping him. young children during that inquisi­ tive ’taste everything* period which comes between one and five years,” says Dr. J.

At least one child a week is taken to the ^Hospital for Sick Children suffering from poison, Dr. Ebbs states,-while every year many child deaths from the same cause are re­ ported. Carelessness on the part of adults contributes at least equally with infant curiosity to this condi­ tion, he intimates. Medicines head the list of poisons swallowed by young children, says Dr. Ebbs. Sometimes they are ad­ ministered in mistake by an adult; at other times they are left m places accessible to the child, who helps himself.

In other cases, children have found bottles of lini­ ment, formaldehyde,, iodine and oth­ er liquids, which they have tasted 'with tragic results. The doctor urges that, to avoid such accidents, all homes be provided with a locked medicine cabinet, or at least one which is out of the reach of children, and that every bottle or package in it be labelled plainly with its name and uses. Other suggestions given are: Keep dangerous medicines separate from harmless everyday pre­ parations. Keep »uch huu-^huld pre­ parations as metal polish, cleaning fluid, lye and so on, on high shelves oht of reach. Keep ash trays, cigarettes, tobacco and matches inaccessiblejto children. As to what shouhP*be done if a child shows symptoms of poisoning, Dr. Ebbe recommends: 1. Call a doctor immediately. 2. .3. to drink. The sooner the child can be-induced to vomit, the less chance is there of his absorbing the poison, Dr. Ebbs explains. A special caution to mothers is to avoid reaching for medicine bottles In the dark. The wrong bottle is often u.sed in such cases. Make the child vomit.

Warm blooded animals are those whose body temperature is main­ tained at the same level regardless of outside temperatures, name for them would be temperature animals." Cold bjopded animals are those whose temperatures vary with the environment. They ore able to aus- stain life by adapting themselves to the low temperature through a vari­ ation of body temperature to corres­ pond with the outside temperature. In cold weather they will be sluggish and in some cases appear to be dead. Among human beings, differences in the ability to withrtsnd the cold are determined partly'hy the amount of fat immediately under, the skin. Because they are better equipped in thia respect, women withstand cold better than men, In general, fat persons feel the cold less thaff lean persons. The rate of body chemistry, which is governed by the thyroid gland, ia another factor in ••risibility to cold. Persons *with deficient or in­ adequate secretion from the thyroid, although they may be fat, are liable to feel the cold severely, while per- •ona with over active thyroid may be thin, but not highly susceptible to cold. One sometime* wonders why thinly clad wotndn are able to stated cold so well L’ae has something to do with this faculty. They are like Indiana: “all face." The same circumstance appear* in bare-legged children; they are used to the condition. But the condition may * be carried too far. If chill* result, tbs indication ia to add to the clothing.

"I hud to hack' my way through almost impenetrable jungle,” he said, "chopping, slashing at thick undergrowth and trees. Many a man wtflild have collapsed under the strain, but I won through.” “Oh. George,” mid she. "How splendid. What an expert you’ll be at weeding the garden, darling!” The premium paid by the Domin­ ion Department of Agriculture on cheese scoring 93 or more points has been very effective in raising the standard of quality in cheese throughout the Dominion and result­ ed in a much larger proportion of the 1940 cheese being equal to 93 or 94 score than in any year since grad­ ing began in 1923. - The total high scoring cheese—977,801, boxes*—is equal to 62.91 per cent of the total cheese graded and is an increase of 13.86 per cent in.this type of cheese as compared with 1939. This remark­ able improvement in the quality of cheese is due to various factors, one being the assistance provided under the Cheese and Cheese Factory Im­ provement Act for better ripening room facilities, along with the pay­ ment of the premium on a quality basis. As pointed out'by Joseph Burgess, Chief, Dairy Products,' Grading and Inspection. Services, Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture an an ad­ dress to the annual convention of the Dairymen’s Association bf West­ ern Ontario held recqptly at Wood- stock, it is realized of course, that other factors were also essential to secure these results, but there could not be any doubt that the financial assistance provided by the Dominion Department or^Agriculture has been of the greatest importance. High scoring cheese cannot be produced from inferior milk and the milk pro­ ducers must have co-operated in rais­ ing the standard of quality by furn­ ishing a class of milk which could be made into high-scoring cheese. On the other hand, the cheesemakers, along with the assistance received from the Instructors, must have de­ veloped greater efficiency in their manufacturing methods- because, while only a small percentage of the factories had better facilities for ripening or curing cheese during the early part of last season, there must have been great improvement in the general character when such a large proportion of the total make was equal to 93 or higher score. This is particularly . gratifying in view of the fafeKihat about two years ago there were ndhqf rou*- complaints about the texture of Canadian cheese. It was stated that the texture was too dry, mealy or harsh, and that ‘It took too long for the cheese to mature, and even then the texlure of many of the cheese was not satis­ factory. That condition or defect has been completely elminsted within the past year and a half and the Dairy Products Division at Ottawa appreciate* the good work on the part of the cheesemakers and in­ structors in overcoming this defect in less than two years.

In fact they will not be altogether good taste, fo^-they will indicate business contact with Japan, the double-deal­ ing, treacherous quantity in the Pacific. Japan, the chief producer of pure silk fibre, is decidedly in the bad graces of a large part of the world, and of all the Anglo-Saxon world. If there ils one thing an Anglo-Saxon detests it, is treachery. He can ad­ mire an opponent, who by , sheer astuteness, gets ahead of him, con­ sidering .-him a good sport. But du­ plicity is'on the black-list. Therefore the thought of good Canadian dollars going to Japan, fills one with a sense of .loathing. With this^ thought in mind, and also that of the pride our women-, folk take in neat footwear and hos­ iery, officials^ at Ottawa have sought to find a substitute for Japanese . silk. Several have been found—some satisfactory in one respect and not In others. For instance, rayon which is used for many garments, is not entirely satisfactory for hosiery. It lacks elasticity and becomes wrink­ led, giving slim-ankled sisters a dowdy appearance—something to be avoided, even in war-time. As If 'preparing for just such a contingency as has now arisen, and probably farsightedness did see a time approaching when it would be desirable to become independent of Japan’s silk, du Pont laboratories were busy on research. A substitute has been found, having coal tar as a base. This new synthetic fibre bears the name of nylon, which to a lay person sounds nondescript, but which probably indicate* to a scientist a long series of experiments, patiently pursued and put to-gether. In nylon hosiery there is good fit as well as durability, for it is said to wear three time* as long as silk. :| Its promoters, in fixing the price, I Butler—“Your car is at the door, have displayed a clearer understand- sir." ing of human nature, for although Guest—“I know.
