Hence the prediction of a cold or a warm wave that will sweep over New York or Chicago. But why is there a cold wave at all? Why is one day hot and dry and another cool and rainy? When the Norwegian school of meteorologists, headed by Professor Bjerknes, asked these questions they answered with the polar-front theory. A. conflict rages between cold polar air and warm tropical air, they found. Between the two is a "front," a line' of demarcation. Sometimes it is the tropical front that advances, and sometimes the polar front. Usually a number of polar fronts travel southward and a number of tropical fronts move northward. One tries to override the other. A modern weather map would show all the fronts. The object of the Norwegian school of meterorologists, to which .most European weather prophets now belong, is to determine the origin, polar or equatorial, of the air masses into which the map can be divided and to estimate.the com- ing weather from their probable behavior at the lines of separation. Sir Napier Shaw, England's great meteorologist, remarks that "the barometer loses its position as _a soloist and its place is taken by tropical and polar air, and by their duet the weather of the temperate latitudes of Europe is brought into relation with the general rhythm of the world's weather." i STUDIES BY SPILHAUS Young Athelstan F. Spilhaus, who came all the way from Ronden- bosch, South Africa, to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, has made it easier to cor- relate temperatures and humidities of huge masses of moving air and thus considerably simplified weath- er prediction according to the Nor- wegian method. His contribution takes the form of a little instru- ~ ment which he calls an "air mass indicator." of metal which register the temper- ature, and a bit of hair which is af- fected by both temperature and moisture. From the reading the meteorologists must deduce what the weather will be . The instru- ment is not in itself a prophet. The meteorologist has various technical names for air masses. He talks of "polar maritime," "tropical continental," "polar continental" and "tropical maritime" fronts. Translated into. the language of the street, these impressive . technical names become "damp," = "dry," "keen," "muggy, ' "frosty" and the like. As we see, the tongue of the people expresses itself in terms of comfort. Spilhaus's - indicator does the same, but more scientifi- cally. It shows the particular type of air mass prevailing in terms of temperature and humidity and therefore of comfort, and thus in- dicates the conditions on which sound prediction can" be -based. VALUE TO AVIATORS It is probable that this new strument will be carried by every long-distance aviator. Ice is the thing that he dreads most. At pres- ent he has no way of foretelling danger. He sees his wings coated "with sleet and knows that he must seek a warm stratum of air at once if he is not to risk his life, The air mass indicator gives him warn- ing by telling him that the tem- perature is falling and the humid- jty increasing--sure signs of an ap- proaching danger zone, If he isa a good meteorologist as well as a good pilot he will know which way to turn in order to escape disaster. Engineers who specialize in air- conditioning will also find Spil- haus's instrument useful. Comfort at low temperature requires high humidity. Thus evaporation from the body and hence chilliness is avoided. Similarly, high tempera- tures should be accompanied by dryness. The engineer reads off what the temperature and humidity are and thus knows. at once what condition must be changed. To be sure he can arrive at the same con- clusion with an ordinary and a wet- 'bulb thermometer, but it is some- thing to have a single device which can be carried readily from room to room and which can be read like a watch dial. _in- WILL KEEP PLANT BUSY FOUR MONTHS * Montreal--An order for 10,000,- 000 feet of lumber for immediate delivery has been placed with the Donnaconna Pulp and Paper Com- pany by the Italian Goverment, it was learned from officials of the 'company here recently. The timber is to be used in general Italian home industry. The order is large enough to keep the Donnaconna plant in full operation for four months, officials said. It consists of two bits|- ACHES CEASED Wife Put Kruschen in His Coffee He could not understand why the headaches he had been subject to suddenly ceased, His wife told him, and he at once sat down and wrote the following letter: -- , "I am 62 years of age, and ever since 1 was a boy of ten years, 1 was subject to very bad headaches, Bul two years ago the headaches stopped --for what reason I did not know, I was surprised when one day my wile told me I had been using Kruschen Salts in my coffee for over two years. I am still using them, as I know of nothing finer for the system."--J, T. Headaches can nearly always be traced to a disordered stomach, and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these poisons--prevent them forming again--and you'll never have to wor- ry any more, And that is just how Kruschen Salts brings swift and las- ting relief from headaches. Krusohen Salts ald Nature to cleanse your body completely of all clogging waste matter, Canada England's Best Wool Customer Canada in 1934 bought more manufactures of wool from Great Britain than was bought by any other country in the world, accord- ing to the forty-fifth Annual re- view of the Textile, Mercury and Argus, Bradford, just to hand. They say: 'Canada was again the largest purchaser with £2,989,201. Canada's takings in 1933 were £2,- 503,193 ®o that there has been an increase in trade with this market of almost half-a-million pounds. The bulk of the increase in busi- ness with Canada was due to the striking rise in shipments of wool- len tissues (cloth)", Canada in 1934 purchased 12.78% of the total exports of woollen and worsted cloth from Great Britain and 40% of the total exports to Empire markets, according to the Spring number of The Bradford Chamber of Commerce Journal. ~ WHAT TO DO ABOUT "Acid Indigestion" A WAY THAT RELIEVES THE CAUSE IN A FEW MINUTES May people who think they have "weak stomachs" or "indigestion," doctors say, suffer in realify from nothing more serious than acid stom- ach. And this: common ailment can usually be relieved now, in minutes. All you do is take familiar Phillips Milk of Magnesia after meals. This acts to almost immediately neufralize the stomach acidity that brings on your trouble. You feel like a new person! Cari I Try this just once. Take either the familiar liquid "PHILLIPS' ", or the new Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tablets, But watch out that you get the Genuine PHILLIPS Milk of Magnesia. Made in Canada, ALSO IN TABLET FORM: Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tab- ets are now on sale at all drug Each "tiny stores everywhere, tablet is the equivalent of . a teaspoonful of Genuine Phillips" Milk ; of Magnesia, LE wr PHILLIPS" This publication gives the following table: Percentage of Total Exports of woollen and worsted tissues tak- en by Empire Countries, : 1934 Calada "i vvvvarinnervenneres 178 South Africa siievevivenyenns 8.90 India cv iiiiieaprnnrnnnennsees 4.53 Australia ...iiiieiiiinennees 1.64 New Zealand ....co000vivnnee 3.98 Total ...vviivievanennsess 31.83 The same English publication al- so gives "A comparison of Tariffs on Wool Piece Goods" exported to various countries, Twenty - nine countries are listed with having higher rates than Canada, four with rates than Canada, four with rates over 200%, three with rates over 150% and two with rates over 100%, and others--United States 956 per cent, Germany 94 per cent, Italy, 77% per cent, Argentine 60 per cent., and Australia 63% per cent; Canada is listed at 40 per cent. This possibly. explains why Canada is the bust eustomer wn the world for British cloth. THE WEEK IN OTTAWA J. Ear] Lawson, K.C,, M.P, Domin- fon Organizer for the Conservative. Party has announced the appoint. ment of Mr. Lou Golden, Toronto Barrister, as General Secretary of the Conservative Dominion zation with headquarters at Ottawa.' The appointment takes effect fm- mediately, . Mr, Golden is a graduate of the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall Law School, He is well known as a former Toronto newspaperman, and as Registrar of the Conservative School operated at Pickering Col- lege, Newmarket, Ontario, during the summer of 1933. He edited *Ca- padian Problems" a collected vol- ume of papers read at the Newmar- ket School, and widely especially among the younger ario Conservatives, Ont- Tion, Dr, R. J. Manion (Fort Wil- liam) Minister of Railways and Ca- nals, speaking in the House last Wednesday, made it quite clear that there would he no amalgamation of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railway systems under the Conservative government, Passage of the Eight Hour Day. and Economic Council Bills, coupled with a heated debate on the bud- get, were among the chief factors contributing to the business of the House during the week. Announce- ment was also made from the floor of the House by Acting Prime Min- ister Sir George Perley of the ap- pointment of John Buchan, author and ex-member of the British House of Commons as Canada's next gov- ernor general to succeed the Earl of Bessborough whose term expires in September of this year. Minister of Labour Wesley Gor- don (Temiskaming South) moving third reading of the Eight Hour Day Bill, placed himself in line for a mild attack from Labour and Lib- eral bneches. The old question of jurisdiction was projected into pro- ceedings by Hon. Ernest Lapointe, while A. A. Heaps, Labour member, expressed dissatisfaction with the measure and contended there should be a six hour day. Promptly the minister informed the Labour mem- ber that labour itself desired an eight hour day, whereupon Mr. Heaps sat down, Mr. Lapointe re- sumed the argument and recalled that a forty hour week had failed of ratification at the last interna- tional Labour Conference. He sug- gested a passage of the measure be delayed to see what next would happen. To that suggestion the Min- ister of Labour reminded Mr. La- pinte that Mr. Mackenzie King had been to Washington in the capacity of adviser when the eight hour day recommendation was adopted.

Following announcement from the Dominfon Headquarters that the Scouts of Canada will celebrate the King's Silver Jubllee, on the even- ing of May 6th, by. lighting a chain of beacons from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Scout troops and district or- ganizations are discussing and re- porting plang for this display of loy- alty. Wherever possible the lighting of the beacons will be preceded by 'a royal salute of 21 rockets, In the Old Country a simllar chain ot bea- cong will extend from John o' Groats to Land's End, when it was propoged to implement it, the question of jurisdiction was raised by the Opposition. Debate on the budget brought Col. J. L. Ralston (York West) lead- ing the affront as the Liberal fin- ancial critic. His criticism can be summarized as to mean that the bud- get proposals are entirely inade- quate for the condition of the coun- try. The Minister of Railways hur- ried to the defence of the govern- ment's proposals, informed Col. Ralston that the budget is definitely one to suit the pocket of the toiler, stating it has gone further than the government has yet gone in this country in redistribution of wealth and in placing taxes where they should be placed. Frank Shaver (Cons., Stormont) came to the defence of the govern- ment's tariff policy by telling the House that the textile industry had prospered behind the tariff walls to the general betterment of the coun- try. There is a possibility that the Old 'Age Pensions Act will be applied to blind persons between the ages of 40 and 70 years, following a rccom- mendation to the House on Monday of this week by the Industrial and In- ternational Relations = Committee.

The highway, says the return, is a series of roads which in the main link up provincial routes. In Ontaro are two uncompleted sections. One is from Schreiber easterly to White River, a distance of approximately 25 miles. This is all new work and is estimated to cost. $35,000 a mile. I'rom White River easterly to North Bay siternative routes have been suggested, On one, from Schrej- ber to North Bay the province esti- mates a total cost of $10,000,000. Surveys on the other have not yet been completed, and the approximate mileage and cost have not been as- certained. In British Columbia a gap exists between the junction of the Canoe and Columbia Rivers and Goldstream for 30 miles, and from the Canoe River southward 16 miles. The aver- age cost per mile of this portion is estimated at $24,000 by contract, while the cost of bridging the Ca- noe River is given as $45,000. Short sections of the road have been built from Revelstoke to Gold- stream, a distance of 60 miles, It is estimated that approximately $18,000 a mile would be required to complete it over the whole length, Feed Plants For Early Growth Early Spring Nourishment © Provides Incentive For Quick Development In the early spring the grass and other perennial plants awaken hun- gry from their long winter nap, What a voracious appetite they possess! Unfortunately they are seldom sat- isficd as but few soils contain suffl- cient of the different elements 'of plant food to satisfy all the needs of the plant. We seldom fail to feed our dogs, birds and other pets, but too often overlook the fact that plants must be fed, Proper feeding of plants {s one of the most {mportant phases of gard- ening, We can exercise but lttle con- trol over the sunshine and moisture required for plants, but we can fur- nish the right nourishment. There is noting that you -can do in garden- ing from which you get a louder "thank you" from your plants, than that o! giving them a complete, bal- anced plantfood, This hearty response js expressed by a thick green carpet- of grass: flowers that bloom in profusion; de- licious early vegetables; in fact, healthy, vigorous plants of all kinds. If you have never given your hung-| ry plants a real meal, do it this year and get a new thrill in gardening. Prepared complete plants foods are obtainable everywhere that ave easy and convenient to use. Many gard- en lovers have found In plantfood the | Key to full success in gardening. Business Records For 1935 Beat Those Of 1934 The Dominion Bureau of Statistics slates that the marked gain in pro- ductive operations was the chief feature of the Canadian economic situation in February. As the high points of 1934 were exceeded the level of I'cbruary after seasonal ad- justments, was more satisfactory than in any month since March, 1931, Following the marked gain in Jan- uary, the further betterment in the month under review, contributes to an excellent showing for the elapsed portion of the present year. The gain in productive enterprise .is the niost tangible cvidence of the continuance of the recovery. The index of the physical volume of business based on 45 "factors adjusted for seasonal tendencies was 100.6 in February against 97.6 in the preceding month. --Toronto Mail & Empire. NO PEP?
