The Dog Show We are glad to be able to report that this "show" was most successful and a full list of the prize winners is published a1 the April number of "On Lone Scout Trails' which has been mailed to all Lonies. The prize winner in the 1st Class was Bruce Isaac of Lucan, Ont., for the best essay describing his dog, In Olass Two the winner of the first Prize was Ronald Sage, of Ingersoll, for the best written and composed es- say. We publish herewith the winning es- says and offer our congratulations to all the p:izewinners: Bruce Isaacs I have decided to enter my dog in your dog show because I think he is the most wonderful dog in the world i and I wouldn't trade him for all the X pedigreed dogs in the world. ? % ~ The breed of my little dog is a fox- 'tergier and he is about one foot six inches in height. He is all white from tail to head and he is three years old. He is a good worker and can pull me around in the sleigh and he can also hunt cattle and he is not a bad watch-dog for a little pup. My little dog cannot perform any tricks, but I love him just the same. I like my dog because he and I are the « very best of pals and he will do any- thing for me. My dog is the father of six lovely pups, My brother, who is twenty- three, has one of his little daughters, Ronald Sage's Essay "Skippy" Skippy is a collie, Although he lays no claim to being a th ed, it is ry on efficiently. Whatever the organt- zation, whether it be a business, cluby church, army, or anything else where a number of people congregate, if law] and order is to be maintained, some- one must be the leader and undertake the responsibility, and unless the others are prepared to accept his in- structions the organization proved un- successful, . The very foundation of our home is the fact that children 'honor their father and mother," and if they, were allowed to do as they please trom) the day of their birth, our nation would soon sink into oblivion. Further, it is a well known and uni- versally recognized fact that no per- son can successfully act as a leader and: give orders unless they them- selves have first learned to obey. How else can they understand the position of those under them? Therefore to be a successful Scout it is necessary to learn obedience, that as time passes and the opportuni- ties arise, you can become a success- ful leader of your fellow Scouts, and take your place in later life as a lead- er amongst your fellow men. There is room in the ranks of the Lone Scouts of Ontario for many more boys of Scout age. If you are unable to join an ordinary Scout Troop, and are between the ages of 12-18 inclusive, why not be a Lone Scout?

They were rushed from Cape Town by air, in the hope that they would arrive in a fertile condition, thus solving the problem of bringing peuguins safely to London, one of the zoo's biggest difficulties. So far there have been no little strangers in the penguin house. 3 Canada Built 12,600 Dwellings During 1931 Detailed reports from more than fifty Canadian cities show that 10, 750 permits for dwellings (including easily seen that he is a very fine speci- men of his race. To say the least, Skippy is hand- some. He has a very fine coat of long silky hair and this on his tail is like a waving plume. In color he is a \ beautiful brown with a large white patch on his chest, He is magnificent. 1y bulit, having a long, intelligent look- ing mose, thick, sturdy legs; a very aristocratic tail and a deep, finely curved chest. Skippy is not very big, being just about a year old, but he gives promise of being a wonderful dog, doing credit to his clan, the Col- lie. Last fall we sold our cattle, but before that Skippy showed that he had the makings of a fine cattle dog and be was only a pup then. He is a born "heeler," which means that he goes af- ter the cows' heels, that is the sign of a good cattle dog. He loves to hunt rats and mice. Our granary and barn are full of these pests and Skippy is always ready for a hunt and has caught rats seven or eight inches in length. Skippy has been hardly old enough to be taught tricks, but he will "speak" for his dinner, fetch a stick, climb into a chair and sit up and so on. He also loves the water and in summer he hag a great time in the creek. Why do I love him? Why does any boy love his dog? Because he is a friend, a faithful companion who loves and will follow anywhere, who asks nqthing but your love. Such is Skippy. This Week's Scout Law--No. 7--"A Scout obeys orders of his parents, patrol leader, or Scoutmaster, without question. This is a very important law, as without its aid it would be impossble for the Boy Scouts Association to car- and apartments and, in many cases, repairs and alterations), esti- mated to cost $47,000,000, were is- sued in 1931; this compares with 12,600 residential .permits in 1930 whose total value was $53,000,000. The average {estimated cost of a dwelling in 1931 was $4,334, as com. pared with $4,200 in 1930, The in- crease in value can probably be at- tributed to a larger proportion of apartment houses in the total for residential building.

But Pre- fect of Police Jean Chiappe, who superintended the test is not con- vinced that the system is impractical. He thinks that it will work better when the public has been accustom- ed to it. The experiment was tried in the most congested district of Paris, be- tween the Portes Saint Martin and Saint Denis, and where the Boule vard Sebastopol crosses the Grands Boulevards. Electric signals mere installed so that when traffic was stopped on the Grands Boulevards, that from the Porte Saint Denis and Porte Saint Martin entered simulta- neously. A few seconds later the cross trafic from the Boulevard Sebastopol was also admitted "auto- | matically. Then automatically all transverse streets were closed by the signals and traffic over four blocks on the Grands Boulevards was kept moving for three minutes. For a short time it seemed as thoezh the system was working prop- erly without the interference of the trafic police, but soon confusion de- veloped and in twenty minutes cir- culation was completely stopped, with cars unable to move in any direction, It took the police half an hour to restore arder under the old billy club system of direction. 2 2 completed by Frederick William Academy.

JACOB'S REVERENCE, vs. 16, 17. « INTRODUCTION --Jacob had commit- ted two major offences against his brother, Esau. For a mere trifle he had secured his birthright (Exodus 26: 27-834); and he had stolen from Isaac the blessing that properly be- longed to Esau, 27: 1-40. By taking these mean and crafty advantages of his brother, he had aroused Esau's hatred, 27: 41. Esau vowed that re- venge would be him upon Isaac's death. Thus Jacob's position was ser- iously jeopardized in the home. Once again, as in all the stories of the pa- triarchs, strife was avoided by isola- tion and separation. Jacob must leave home, There was a further reason for his leaving home, in that the time lad now come for him to marry, and his mother was anxious for him to take a wife from among her own rela- tives in Haran, who were Arameans living in Mesopotamia, 27: 43-46, Up te now his record had been bad. He had proved himself selfish, crafty and devoid -of fraternal sympathy. God, however, has his own way of dealing with a wrong-doer, and of fashioning him for future service and greatness. I.

Here Dr. Lynn Harold Hough offers a valuable suggestion. He poirts out that Freud, the psycho- analyst, claims that dreams are the occasions upon which our suppreised desires leap up from the subconscious niind and play the part denied 'them in real life, Freud thinks, however, that it is invariably our evil desires that emerge in dreams. Dr. Hough suggests that it may very possibly be that our good desires also come to the surface in our dreams. It is interest- ing to interpret Jacob's dream in this way. Bad though he was, pet there was a core of goodness in him to which God could appeal. For God cannot grant a revelation of himself as a leading contribution to modern political thought.

And they are sure to be infested if they rum with other infested horses. Most of the horses that we see killed for fox meat colt being particularly susceptible to worm infestation, during the firft few months of its life, shofild be given some protection against these pests, which may become serious enough to cause death of the colt. The start should be made with the brood mare and the other horses; treat these or have them treated with a suitable worm expeller. This done the source of infection will be cut off and the pas- tures will be relatively safe for the colts when they arrive, Infection takes place through wormy horses scattering the worm eggs over the pas- ture field in the faeces, so if the mare is free of worms the owner will have grow well and be free from attacks of verminous colic. Verminous colic is serious and may cause the death of the colt. Better prevent worm infes- tation, so that the colts will not ex- perience this trouble. The colt that is free of worms and bot grubs is more likely to-thrive and grow well than the neglected colt that depends on no mangement at all.

A. Vening Meinesz, profess- or of geodesy at the University of Utrecht, Holland. : . He plans to experiment with his multiple pendulum apparatus during { his return voyage to Holland. This instrument has been used by Dr. | Meinesz for several months aboard the Navy submarine S-48. It permitted scientists for the first time in histogy to take comprehensive observations en the magnitude and direction of gravity pull in the earth's crust. Dr. Meinesz worked out of Guanta- namo Bay, Cuba, with Professor Rich- {ard M. Field, of the geological depart: ment of Princeton University, Studied Undersea Changes Their West Indies experiments were i made with the assistance of several Naval officers. Aboard the submarine they took many findings from gravity stations, obtaining a new perception & the movement of the undersea crusts in that area, which, previously had never been observed. Of more importance, perhaps, the research experts arrived at a definite | understanding of conditions respons- ible for the famous Bartlett deep and the movement of the earth's crust in that location. Dr. Meinesz insisted that 'he could not divulge these findings, as they will be contained in 'a report which will be submitted to the Na- tional Academy of Science at Wash- {ington in the near future. Dr. Meinesz has traveled more than 65,000 miles in submarines, conducting | experiments with his machine. There {are but two copies of the multiple pen- !dulum gravity apparatus in existence.
