Well, marriage wasn't a joke. The rector knew that.

One of the first such cases to be treated was through the radio at Cape Hope's Advance, on the south shore of Hudson Straits, A trapper had been wounded by one of his traps. He lived in a lonely cabin 50 miles from the radio station. It was his nearest point of contact, Wounded though he was, he harnessed his dogs and set out in the biting cold and wind of sub-zero weather for the radio' station where he might obtain ald. He feared that blood poisoning might set in. When he reached the radio station after hours of painracked travel he was in a bad fix. He was too far gone for the unaided treatment of the operators there, and they imme diately called Ottawa, Here a constant watch Is kept for just such emergency calls, Within a few minutes a doctor had been sum- moned and made acquainted with the case, While the thermometer stood at 30 below zero at that isolated sta- tion on the Hudson Straits, an opera. tion was performed by a doctor who was nearly two thousand miles dis- tant! Both Waves Uced. Short and long wave phone and telegraph radio transmitters are housed at several points in Ottawa for contact with the north, There is one station operated by the Depart- ment of Marine which keeps in touch with the entire Arctic. Another operated by the Department of Na- tional Defence, has its stations strun, throughout the Western Arctic, It ia a usual thing to hear at these Ottawa stations the voice of code signals of men seated thousands of miles distant in the cold Arctic. The signals come rolling in with reports and requests for medical advice. In the not so distant Northland, but still isolated sections of northern Ontario, there also are radlo stations operated by the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. Even these have their requests for medical ald. One of the strangest was that for a big Indian brave who had gone In- sane through the attacks of black files, He was brought to one of the fur posts in the northern part of Ontario, and there the agent advised medical attention. The nearest doctor being hundreds of miles distant, the small short wave radio transmitter went into action with the result that a plane came to take the Indian to civilization the next day. i ae, AMBITION "Fvery man is said to have his peculiar ambition.

Spain Still Without City Of Million, Census Shows Madrid --Spain has just completed another census, which reveals that Great pains were taken to count every one in Barcelona, the largest city 6f Spain, in the hepe that the census would show 1,000,000 residents, But the tabulations developed that Barcelona had failed by 22,869. Even though the Catalan capital is not in the million class, it has had a remarkable growth. The census of 1920 gave its population as 710.335, and calculations made by the muni cipal government in 1928 gave it 840. 931 inhabitants, x As In most Continental European cities, there is a big surplus of women over men. The difference is 87,138 which means there are approximately 9 per cent. more women than men, Many years ago Barcelona and Ma- drid were rivals in the question of population, but recently BarceioL\ bas forged ahead. In 1920 Madrid was still ahead, with 750,896, but in 1928 it already was behind Bawelona, Ma- drid then having 809,400 inhabitants, aimed Huron Indians Still Ply Arts The life and customs of the North American Indian still survive at Indian Lorette, a quaint little village about three miles from the Chateau Fron- tenac, in Quebec.
