Only 37 more hours of sunshine are needed 'to pass the total of 1,765 hours in 1899, which is the highest figure ever recorded. The normal quota for the remaining weeks of the year is 68 hours, so an -all-time record is virtually certain to be established. SNE aN } !

"THE PARENTS PERSONAL SERVICE" "A Unique Service Rendered by the Hospital for Sick Children Toronto ; Thres Jeata ago, the Hospital for Bick Children, Toronto--the ploneer hospital in Canada for children only --tentatively started a service to be known a8 "The . Parents® ' Personal 'Service." ; ; ] This means that the Hospital set aside a graduate nurse, with her stenographer, for the exclusive use of the parents, in: order that they might "have a direct and intimate source of information re their chil- dren, not only as to the ailment for which they were admitted. but the little individual conditions. It 1s comforting. to talk with, or write te, someone who has time to see and chat with their little one, and who can tell them how he looks, and answer such questions as: Is he able to be up, or sit"up in bed? Does he miss us and fret? Does hs play with the other children? and so on, dozens of anxious inquiries, and meaning much to the home folk.

H:. Brittain of Macdonald College, and C. C. Eidt, Do- minion' Experimental Station, Kent. ville, N.8., says: "As' already indi. cated, many workers have stated that a co-relation exists between weight and seed content in the apple. The fact that one-sided apples show some of the carpels empty on the corre. sponding side is a matter of general observation. Samples picked at 'ran- dom offer little evidence of this con- nection, since many factors influence size and weight of fruit, and a disturb- ing factor is introduced in the utili zation of fruits resulting from mixed pollination. On the other hand, trees with a very low set, due to an unfruit. ful cross, produce few apples, and those that do set- may grow abnor: mally large, owing to favourable unu- tritional conditions. For that the samples selected should be producgd under uniform and normal conditions, "In 1931 two varieties, Gravenstein, a3 representative of a triploid varlety with very low seed content and North. ern Spy, representative of a diploid variety with an exceptionally high seed content were selected. - A tented treo: of each variety which has been provided with hive of bees and an ef- tective pollinizer, Wagener in the case of Gravenstein, Ben Davis in the case of Spy was used. All the apples on each tree were taken, 500 in the case of Gravenstein and 1,696 in the case of Spy, By thus providing optimum conditions for pollination we naturally reduced the production -of abnormal apples likely to result from imperfect 'fertilization, which undoubtedly af- fected the results, but gave a value tor the effect of seed content." The data thus obtained showed that there is no definite corelation between the weight and the number of seeds per apple in the Gravenstein, King, Wagener and Baldwin varieties under the conditions tested. In. the Spy va- riety & correlation just statistically significant was obtained, but even this cannot be considered at all marked. tmp Juvenile Jobless In Great Britain rs ------ Problem Is Met Through Co- .operation in Birmingham Birmingham, Eng.--Measures tak- en in advance to give employment to boys and girls leaving schoo. have enabled Birmingham to deal effective- ly with its juvenile jobless problem.

'Never have I seen a birthday celebration like it. The last king of the Netherlands-- William 1II.--died in 1890, when Wil helmina was only 10 years o. age. By a law, passed in 1884, she succeeded to the throne under the regency of her mother--the present Queen-Mother Emma, William IIL had been married before, but his three sons had prede- ceased him and, until the birth of his daughter, the succession was in grave doubt. When Queen Wilhelmina at- tained her majority, in her eighteenth year, the regency of her mother end- ed. In 1901 she married Henry, Duke of Mcklenburg-Schwerin, who assumed the title'of Prince Consort. Princess Juliana, the helress to the throne,.was born in 1909. Just a little more history, The rul- 'ing family of Holland belongs to the House of Orange, which provided one 'of our kings, in the person of Willlam III, who married his cousin Mary, daughter of James lI, and later de- posed his father-in-law. The House of Orange takes its name from a small principality, now included in the French Department of Vauchese. The rulers of this principality date their history back to the days of Charle- magne-Willlam (surnamed 'the Cor- net"), who lived in the 8th century, HWeing said to be the first of the line. Philibert (1500-15630) was a great war- rior and statesman and stood high in the favor of Charles V., the emperor who ruled over the greater part of Eur- ope. For his 'services this Philibert was given the territory known as the Netherland, which at that time in- cluded what is now Belgium as well. - The dynasty has not .come down in a direct 1iné, but the people of Holland are very much devoted to thelr demo- cratic rulers, who live in the simplest fashion and have the welfare of their people at heart, . Early in the morning of the 31st of August the streets are allve with peo- ple celelbrating their national hali- day, Folk come in from the country and from the fishing villages dressed in their characteristic Jocal costumes, for the costume of each part of Hol- land is distinctive and quite different.

The people all wear orange ribbons or orange buttons and the streets are full of folk in fantastic costumes; some with thelr faces colored, blue being the chief color used, although red, yellow and black were also much in evidence, This 1s one day in the year when beg- gars <tevery Gescription are allowed to solicit and itinerant musicians met one at every few steps. I do not re- member ever seeing so many accor- dions or concertinas as I saw on that day; little children, surrounded by an admiring crowd, would be sitting un- der the store windows, young couples seemed to appeal.to the sentiment of the crowd as they, more than others, attracted money from th: sympathetic listeners to their music. All along the curb booths were set up--there seemed to he a permit necessary for these as I overheard somt disputes in which the police were called to get- tle, These hooths sold nolse-making contrivances, candies, orange decora- tions, etc., and seemcd to he doing a thriving trade. One articular noise- maker that most of the children car- ried was a long stick with a crossbar on the top. Attached to this were pleces of tin which rattled as they struck the stick on the sidewalk and, to make more noise, they would beat the contrivancé with a smaller stick, sometimes this would be done rhyth- mically to accompany some musical instrument, ' All day the streets were enlivened with fife-and-drum and brass- bands which marched up and down accom. panied by the usual admiring follow- ers, It was a noisy but a gay sight and I do not know where such a cele- bration would be seen elsewhere. One thing seemed to be taboo, that was the wearing of women'§ clothes by men-- at least clothing of which the skirts were very short, I saw an amusing quartette of men, two of which had such a costume as I have described, coming down the principal street of Amsterdam. They were creating much attention and laughter, but this, appar- ently, did not plepse a portly police officer, who<came puffing after them and escorted them to the nearest po- lice station, ; We left for the Hague after lunch and on the way saw many processions, some of them being school' children led by the tiniest tots and their teachers.

At The Hague the same type of celebration we saw in Amsterdam was in progress; one of the parks had orange balloons strung under the arched trees, and in front of the Royal Palace a military band was The cos- tumes here were possibly more theat- | rical in type but everybody seemed to. enjoy themselves in an unaffected way. In contrast to our joyous occa- slons, everything was quiet long be' fore midnight; the streets were de- serted and the gay throngs had gone to_their homes, possibly to continue | the observance of the holiday indoors, Next week's article will take you to Auld Reekie, as Edinburgh is affection- ately called.
