Ww | Lead to Prosperity {T. B. Macauley Would Banish Existin --Cited United States As Stri The immediate need for linking the Empire by stronger ties of trade form- ed the subject of T. B. Macauley's ad- dress to the Empire Club in Toronto recently, He compared the prosperity ~of. the United States without internal tariffs and conserving its own markets with the state of affairs in the British Empire, divided by over 30 tariff walls. Mrs Macaulay said: - "I propose to say a few words on Empire trade co-operation. Unless this great question can be satisfac- torily solved the countries composing the Empire can never attain the maxi- mum prosperity possible to' them, and I shall at present speak only from the dollar standpoint. "Let us contrast our position with that of the United States. U.S. Conserves Own Markets "The United States conserves the markets of that country for its own people, whilo as a contrast, we of the Empire are divided into over 30 sec- tions each with a tariff against not merely the rest of the world, but against the other parts of the Empire. The people of the United States think nationally, while we, unfortunately, as a rule think only sectionally. "It is easy and natural, of course, for the people of the United States to think as a unit because their land is, continuony from the Atlantic to the Pacific, It is separation by the sea that encourages sectional thinking. Distances create difficulties," he said. Britain to Develop Her Flying Boats New Flying Boats to Have' Pullman Accommodation for Forty R-160 TO GO TO TROPICS London--Out of the airship disas- ter which darkened England two con-' clusions are already becoming clear. The first Is that until America's two new dirigibles prove their capa- bilities the Air Ministry intend to concentrate increasingly on "flying ships," bigger but of the same gen- eral type as the flying boats now oper- ating on the Mediterraneau-section of the England-India air route. The second conclusion is that Bri- tain will continue to use her last big airship, the R-100, but will fly her cautiously and run no, risk of an- other R-101 tragedy. } May Use Helium In R-100 Helium may be substituted for hydrogen and heavy oil fuel for gaso- line in R-100 engines. In any event R-100 is now in. her shed to receive a new fabric covering and she will re- main 'there until early next year. England is keenly interested in Re- presentative Britten's proposal to al- low helium to be exported. Airship authorities here are counting 'on a drastic fall in the price of helium in coming years and also on new &up- plies reported to have been found in Alberta, They believe it will be pas- sible to inflate the R-100 with helium for $175,000, and with the expenses of maintaining the R-101 wiped out they feel that the government will be willing to purchase the non-inflam- mable gas so necessary for the R-100. Ship to Go to the Tropics It has been decided to take the ship to the tropics. She may, as has al- ready been said, have heavy ofl fuel substituted for gasoline, It is pos- sible also that R-100's passenger quarters will bg made safer and pleas- anter without impairing the ship's aero-dynamic efficiency. Already there is talk of slinging a gondola beneath the envelope similar to that on: the Graf Zeppelin, where pas- sengers may have windows open and an exit in the event of disaster. In R-100, as in the tragic R-101, the pas- gengers' quarters were inside the en- velope, offering no possibility of es- cape. Whatever 1s done with the R- 100, however, will be carefully tenta- tive. Meanwhile the British flying boats mare passing one triumphant test after another and may prove to be ample wonsolation for the sorrow of the R- 201. Although not as big as the {Dornier DO-X, England's "flying ships" are belleved to be safer on the take-off and seaworthy in almost any ptorm. vide Pullman accommodation for rty passengers. On these and not bn airships the attention of the Brit- Ish aviation world will be focused in the coming years. - The type now building will| 0g Internal Tariff Walls ng Example "But they create advantages "also. They create diversity in products, The United States has given us a fine example of trade co-operation with the tropics. Thefe is absolutely no tariff in either direction between the United States and Porto Rico, but in Porto Rico a tariff similar to that of the United States is levied on imports from any other part of the world. "We must advance step by step. We form of Imperial preference and I re- joice at them. The time has, however, now come when we can take a further step in Imperial preference," he said. British Market Valuable - "Looking at the advantages to Can- ada do we realize , 'what the British market could mean, not merely to gur manufacturevs, our miners and our lumbar men, but also to our food pro- ducers? Britain spends $5,000 for im- ported foodstuffs every minute of the What would a substantial preference in such a market mean to us? "Above all, however, our aim should be not the transfer of any of our Cana- dian manufacturing to Britain or of any of British manufacturing to Can- ada, but, by co-operatfon, to transfer to Britain, Canada and other parts of the Empire, the production of the vast quantities of articles of all kinds, in- | cluding foods, which are at present im- | ported into the Empire from other countries." 'Eggs of Dinosaur Now Found in U.S. Located in Montana--Mam- mal Which May Account for Disappearance. Princeton, N.J.--The first discovery In America of eggs of the dinosaur, prehistoric animals ranging from the size of tabby cats to 80-foot lengths, was announced recently at Princeton University, The eggs were found last Summer near Red Lodge, Southern Montana, along with discovery of another fos- js which suggests an answer to one of the great riddles of evolution, why dinosaurs became extinct after pop- ulating possibly the whole earth and geemingly dominating it. The other discovery indicates that they collided with higher form of intelligence. a Anaouncement of finding the eggs was made by Dr. Glenn L. Jepsen, director of the Scott Fund Expedition of Princeton University, who unearth- ed them. This is the second authenticated find of dinosaur eggs. The first were found in Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History. The Mongolian eggs, nearly a foot long, at first were pronounced 10 million years old, an estimate which was raised to 96 mil lion years last winter after scientists had checked the radio activity of the minerals which turned them to stone. Describing the Montana work, Dr. Jepsen said: "A number of broken remains of eggs were found, in fragments not more than an inch in diameter. Their age {3 estimated at millions of years. "The fragments resemble thiose found in Mongolia in several particu- lars, both occurring in closely similar geologic formations. The American ones were found in the upper lance formation which was deposited in up- per cretaceous times." The suggestion of the Dinosaurs' fate came from finding near the eggs a small tooth of an apparently com- temporary animal, a mammal possibly of the Possum family. The early mammals, though small, had better brains than the Dinosaurs, which were reptiles despite their legs, various horns, armor plate, claws and teeth. The little mammals had the intelll- gence presumably to eat Dinosaur eggs, a prolific source of food. This competition from some higher form, of intelligence has been a fav- orits theory to account for extinc- tion of Dinosaurs, but mammals have been largely left, out of the picture because evidence of thelr beginnings is found mostly in a later age. 3 mmm Special Containdbs It is wise to place canned food In a special container, rarther than leave it in the opened can, before putting it in the refrigerator. ree Aen Diminutive arm tables with- medium sizéd lamps will increase the comfort of your living room if used with your largest arm chalrs.

Canadian Revenue Drops $37,098,574 Ordinary Expenditure Rises $7,639,043 in Same Half-Year Period Ottawa.--The half-way mark in Canada's fiscal year was reached on Ceptember 30 last, and figures cover- ing the ordinary revenue and expen- diture of the Dominion during ths past six months were issued today by the Department of Finance. These show a reduction in the total ordinary revenue of Canada during the past six months, as compared with the corresponding period in the pre- vious fiscal year, of $37,098,674. Ordi- nary expenditure, on the other hand, shows an increase of $7,639,043. The net debt of Canada on September 20 last was $2,146,728,568, or $3,612,522 less than on September 30, 1929, The statement issued today 'repre- sents only the Tec:ipts and expendi- tures which actually passed through the books of the Finance Department up to the last day of September. The major part of the decrease in Canada's ordinary revenue, according to the statement, results from a fall- ing-off in customs revenue collected during the past six months, as com- pared with the corresponding period last year: Customs duties collected during the past six months totalled $73,585,050 as against $97,751,802 in the same period in 1029. This is a decrease of $24,166,842. The total amount derived from ex- cise taxes (sales and stamp taxes) during the past six months was $17,- 897,923. This was a reduction of $10,- Ex ,528 from the 1020 six- cmontly Total, which was $27,945,416. Income tax collections were higher during the past six months than in the same period of 41929. They amounted to $65,478,299 in the six months just concluded as against $62,036,700 in the 1929 period, iam sian Glycerine Helps Montreal.--Red and yellow are col- ors that the human eye can dotect at great distances.

A teaspoonful to each gallon of water will be sufficient. When it is inconvenient to use the usual remedies for removing stains from materials, a little glycerine may often be used with advantage. Apply to the affected parts with a pad of soft cloth, allow to remain om the material for a few minutes, then wash in the usual way. If a little glycerine is added to fruit while boiling, considerably less sugar will be required. It also helps to prevent the formation of scum.

Distinct pyogress has been made under a law which 1s] slightly more than a year old. Of Saskatchewan's 866,700 people, scattered over 251,700 square miles, 14.4 per cent, liva in the eight cities, 7.7 per in the eighty towns, 8.4 in the villages, 65.3 In the 301 organized rural municipalities and 2.9 per cent, in unorganized territory, the! remaining 1.3 per cent. being Indians | on their reservations. Thus there! is an extensive area needing medical service, but which makes little appeal to the young doctor seeking to earn an immediate livelihood and to estab; lish himself professionally. i The new Rural Municipal act gives to every municipality tha right to make a grant up to $1500 annually to a legally qualified medical practi tioner who is a resident or 13 easily "accessible on call, or it may guars tee his income to 'that 'figure. The municipal doctor must give {res medi- cal service to indigents, and HM neces: sary perform the duties of health ot-! | | | | ficer. In the demand of twenty-five taxpayers, the council must submit a by-law to the electors empowering| the council to engage a physician for| full-time services at a salary not ceeding $5,000 a year. Atready, under this co-ope rative health measure, there are thirteen, rural municipalities paying medical grants.of from $900 t. $1,500 anually. Nineteen other municipalities have ex engaged municipal doctors at salaries varying from $3,600 to $5,000 per; year. The system 1s giving much] satisfaction, for it guarantees to the! physician a reasonable income and gives the "settlers needed medical service. | Artificial bnngs Save Girl's Life Paralyzed Breathing Musc Ys Restored té Normal Condition Again Chicago.--Three" we of bei buried in a clanking steel coffin, which | automatically forcel wir in and out of | her paralyzed Tongs, ended on Oct. 12th for Miss Frances McGann, 2 year-old student nurse.

'The comet has swung as close to the earth as it will ever come and is now disappearing, having missed this globe by the com- paratively small celestial space of five million miles. French scientists insist that the earth had a narrower escape than most laymen ever imagined. Had the little comet come on at the speed and angle it did when it was discov- ered by the German astronomers, Schwassmann and Wachmann, on May 1, 1930, it would have put a dent in the globe and perhaps knocked the earth out of its smooth-running cir | cuit, If It Hit Us Scientists, are lost in weird conjec- tures af wliat might have happened had the collision actially occurred, Some argue that the earth would ..ave broken into bits at the impact, others believe that like a Derby hat, the earth would have been dented but no- | thing more serious would occur.

Ground Crow Foil Fog of Victim Novel Method of Burning Gasoline Creates Hole in Dense Fog hundreds or thousands A successful small-scale experiment fn the artificial dissipation of fog is described {nthe Bulletin of the Ameri: can Meteorological Society on the authority of R. C. Soney. Here is the story as quoted in Charles Fitz- hugh nan's Science Service fea- ture Why the Weather? (Washing: ton) "A pilot taking off from Cleveland for New York was Informed that while the alr was clear both at Belle- fonte, Pennsylvania, and Hadley Field, New York, the visibility was decreasing, and clouds showed a ten- dency to close in. "The pilot, however, decided to risk, , thinking that he could land at fonte in case Hadley Field were foggy. Reaching Bellefonte, the pilot found the field foggy and the anding impracticable. Hadley Feld + was still clear * When half-way from Bellefont to Hadley there came the report by radio that fog had closed in on Had- ley, which put the flyer in a bad pre- dicament: "Without sufficient gas to retin to Cleveland, and with no landing pra- cticable at Bellefont, -the pilot con- The ground tion at Hadley, of which Mr. Soney was then a member, could soon hear the airplane circling overhead, and now and then throttling down and almost making a landing, but zooming up again just before it could have touched the ground. "The fog was too dense. "Realizing that the pilot would soon be out of gas and would have to land somewhere, the ground organi- zation undertook to burn 'a hole through the fog by pouring and igniting two fifty-gallon hogsheads ot gasoline in the centre of the field. The pilot, who was apprised by radio of the plan, circled around the firs, watching for a hole, As the fire dled down a hole appeared, throigh which the pilot dived to a safe land ing on the field." Presumably, Mr. Talman adds, the fog, in this particular instance "at least, was shallow, and the air was very probably calm.
