Wells' dream of a world governed by scientists came within the vision of Washington the other day, notes the Hamilton Spectator. The National Resources committee fecommended to the president that it take over part of thé work of the ex- ecutive. It proposed a system where: by technical experts would shape na- "tional policy on all such problems as ~ drought relief, water resources, land utilization and transportation control. We see nothing undemocratic in this proposal, for while experts would determine policies, the executive -- that 1d congrery" -- would decide whe- ther todd policids were acceptable. It would defer to the knowledge and experience of men who have made a study of the situation, but would de- termine whether their arguments. In most forms of government there: is a dlvisioh between the executive and the administration. In Hamilton, for instance, the City Council, which is the executive body, forms the pol- fey of thé city corporation and the City Hall staff administérs it. The "administration has no vote in the de- termination of policy, but it can and often does influence it. Rarely does the Board of Control embark upon new plang without first consulting its experts. But that the experts should decide the general policies of a government as proposed at Washington is novel. It is as though the Board of Control were to call in the city engineer and . say to him: "Tell us what, in your op- inion should be done to improve ser- Vices administered by you, and in what order these improvements should come, We will then decide how speedily such improvements should be implemented, by 'the diver- sion to~them of civic funds, and keep 'a general check on the work as ft progresses. . At present improvements are de- cided in a more or less haphazard manner. They are determined in fact by politics. The citizeng in one local: ity awake to the fact that they need better roads, and an agitation is com- menced which leads to the touncil taking action. But something which is of more importance to the general welfare may be neglected simply. be- cause none exerts himself sufficient- "ly to create a demand for it. The cart is often placed before the horse. 'The proposals of the Natural Re- sources committee may lie in a pig- eon hole in Washington for many years, but the demand. for their real- 18 need for planning of this nature and progress 'cannot for ever neglect a need so great. But congréssmen who set politics before national service are certal nto oppose suggestions of this sort. 2 : The King's Appeal For World Peace "Humanity cries out for peace and an assurance of peace, and you -will find in peace opportunities: of duty and service as noble as any that by- gone battlefields can show." These words were uttered by King Edward VIII in presenting the colors to the Grenadiers, the Coldstreams and the Scots Guards, at Buckingham Palace. Prior to the presentation, His Majesty's life had been endangered by the hurling of a revolver by a man who, it is said, had tried to shoot but found himself frustrated by spectators and police," writes the Ottawa Journ- nal. - pe "Humanity cries out for peace," That message rings around the world -- a world a-clang with the forging of armamentg and terrorized by strident voices threatening and "prophesying | war." The voice of the King was lifted above the tumult and the preliminary blast of trumpets and it has reached the ears of the blatant and bloodthirs- ty war-mongers -- 'Humanity cries out for peace!" It was the appeal of a young mondrch who holds the aceptre of the widest and the might- fest Empire this world has evér known. But that power is not flauntéd éd as an instrument of aggression; it 1s regarded by the King and. the British peoples as the urbiter and thé | sentinel of pedce, . \ "With all my heart I hope and in. 'deed I pray that. never again will our | age and generation be called on to face such stern and terrib days." What effect will this appeal of the King have on the power-hungry war lords of Germany, Italy and Japan,}]. How will the common people of those countries receive it? Will nothing sat- ~ fafy the ambitions of thosé dictators | other than the spectacle of devasta- tion and slaughter? Have their peo- ple the remotest desire to welter in . {Neir 'own blodd or writhe 'and choke in an atmosphere of deadly gas?" "Humanity cries out{ for peace!" The King .speaks not only for. the British people but for humanity which embraces fhe men, women and chid- ren of all nations - whose ome dé- sire is to live ont thelr little Jives in peace. hd 'J. B, Tyrrell and dther officials of Northern Canada: Mining Corp. plan to visit the Argosy' Gold Mines property for the pouring of the first gold brick about the middle of Au- gust. The mill started operating a few weeks ago and id handling 75 tons of ore dally with average grade of about $24, Ore reserves are of- ficially ' estimated to be' 71,287 tons with a groes value of $1,370,000. RR .-., Officials of MeLellan Long Lac Gold -Minés report that the first dia- mond drill hole on' the: south group of eight claims in the Little Long Lac .area has reached a depth of about 600 feet with. minevalized sec- tions encountered. Assay results will be available at an early date. The recently disclosed. new show- ing on the Coin Lake Gold Mines property. in the Red Lake area has been opened 'up .for a length of about 200 feet, according to W. P. Mackle, in charge of work. The showing is standing up well with last assay: returning a value of .98 ozs. gold per ton across two feet. A cross-fracture zone has been pick- ed up and work has been concen- trated on this showing where it is being followed to the intersection of the dike. A program of diamond drilling was scheduled to commence this week, with three holes to be put down to cut the dike at three different: horizons. : Que-On Mines, a participating holding conipany recently incorpor- ated, announce the appointment of 8. B. Goldberg, E.M., as field 'en- gineer on the Dorval Siscoe, Nu- maque . and Snowshoe (formerly Varsan) properties. Drilling is con- tinuing on the Numaque ground with two drills reported cutting mineralization. The two diamond drills ordered for Dorval Siscoe are expected to be on thé ground some time this week, while the drilling outfits for Traverse Longlac Mines and Portage Longlac Mines are ex- pected to _.arrive on the properties later this week. ' Cuniptau Mines Ltd. has optioned the Alexo property consisting of ap- proximately 500 acres in the Tema- gami area on the branch of the T. & N.O. at the Alexo siding, accord- ing-to-B.-W. Watkins, president. It is a High grade open eut propery which, according to government re- ports shipped 50,000 tons of 4% per cent nickel to the Mond Nickel Co. during the war. The -developed reserves in the open cut are esti- mated at some 25,000 tons of simi- lar grade. Officials point out that the acquisition of this property fol- lows the program adopted to pro- vide - adequate ore reserves for fu- ture larger development. Wendigo Gold Mines' second gold brick for July covering production for the second- ten days of the month had a value of $5,767, ac- cording to official word. This com- pares with output for the: first ten days of the month of $5,744, or a total of $11,611 for the period. Average tonnage for the period was 48 tons daily, while recovery has shown improvement of late. Mill- heads averaged .873 ozs. of $18.05 per ton. The continuation of Bidgood's 515 vein as been definitely established on the 426-foot level at Moffat-Hall Mining Co., according to M. A, Pot- ter, ME, in charge of operations. better 'than six feet and" over a length of 25 feet returned $7.40 per-ton.in gold. Between 4,000 and 5,000 tons of ore grading $12 per ton have already been. blocked out at the Moffatt-Hall property. The amount of drifting done on the new workings-on all levels including the 550, is approximately 950 feet. On the 150-foot level, No. 108 crosscut across one foot of the east wall as- sayed $28 and cross one foot of the west wall assayed $10.50 per ton. On the 425-foot level in the 402 west drift one assay returned $15.26 in gold per ton across a width of 8.6 feet. All new equipment has been installed and is working smoothly. A crew of 46 men are employed at present. With the danger of fire over, drill- ing operations have been resumed at the Kaw Crow, Winoga and Gateway properties in the Plckle Crow-Central Patricia area. While the fires which occurred durig the recent hot, dry spell did not reach any of these pro- perties, it was considered advisable to halt operations. As a result, drill- ing equipment was buried, .crews made preparations to fight fires should the wind change and threaten the mining properties. _ British Motor Statistics Last year's total of motoring of- fences in England and Wales for the first time exceeded 500,000. The increase was over 85,009, from 438,060 in 1934 to 518,240 in 1935. The number of persons involved last year was 449,653 compared with 366,- 446 in-1934. - } 3 | The return. for 1935 is the first since the imposition of the speed limit in built-up areas. Of the 121,767 speed limit offences, 80,010 related to built up areas, and 85,635 to goods velicles. "Speeding" fines totalled over £138,000. : Against "failing to stop at traffic signals," 81,427 offences were record- ed, at pedestrian crossings 7,603, and "failing to stop at police signals," 4,124, Fs The 402 crosscut across a width of while . - Two Million Live Alone In Britain Surrey Richest County -- Scotsmen Have Biggest Families Thére are 2,000,000 people Great Britain who live alone. Nearly half the women workers in the country.are employed in two ji- dustries. One man out of every fifty is either in of independent means or unemploy- able. J "In 1934 the total population Great Britain was 23 2-3 million females and 21% males -- 1,084 wo- men to every 1,000 men. It is estimated that in 1041 the population will be 44,840,000; that by 1951 it. will have fallen to 42,- 670,000; and that by 1961 it will only be 39,358,000. } i The Census regards a fumily as any group of person, including ser- vants and lodgers, who live in a private household. Ninety-five out of every hundred people live a family life, Large families--parents, children, and servants--are most numerous in Scotland, There 16.9 per cent. of all families consist of ei nt or more per- .ons. Women on the average live longer than men, More boys are born than girls. Up to the age of 15 there are only 980 girls to every 1,000 boys. After the age of 65 there are 1,316 women to every 1,000 men. There are 90,000 persons with in- comes exceeding $10,000 a year. The number earnin~ less than $750 a year is 15,900,000, Two million seven hundred thou- sand earn between $1,250 and $2,500 a year, and 540,000 people have in- comes of between $2,500 anc $5,000. Only one family in 20 in Britain has a weekly income exceeding $50. Surrey has a larger proportion of well-to-do" families than any other county, Every year $5,900,000 is spent on food. The maintenance of the sorbs $3,120,000 annually. Savings, including new houses and furniture, are estimated at $2,250,- 000,000 every year. ' The expenditure on tobacco in 1934 was $600,000,000, and on drink $1,- 160,000,000. The British. nation spends $425,- 000,000 annually on &port and enter- tainment; $326,000,000 on reading; $1665,000,000 on religion; and $1,595,- 000,000 on clothes.

X-Ray and Painting A Rembrandt Injured, Chem- ists Say It Was Over- Exposed For more than two fyears the dir- ectors of the State Museum of Ber- lin have refused permission to make X-ray pictures of any painting in their possession. And the reason? A Rembrandt belonging to the art galleries of Kassel had been X-rayed on behalf of the Fogg Art Museum of Harvard with disastrous results. A sort of cancer had ruined the pigment -Half a dozen experts rush to the defence of the X-rays--indispens- able in determining whether an old, perhaps more valuable, work lies beneath the surface that gladdens the eye. Among them are Viktor Bauer, Helmuh Rinnebach, Dr. Rd- J uard. Petertil, -Dr.-S.-Gotzky, Pro- and Dr. "F. whom have Gunther all of fessar Paul Muller-Skjold, measured X-ray dosages and. noted the effect. There. is no denying that if the dose is too strong a painting may be damaged irreparably. But there is nothing to fear if the in- tensity of irradiation is than that required to penetrate the layers of pigment. Paint chemists have long known that short-wave radiation profound- ly changes chemical pigments. But the exposure must be long and the radiation strong. Muller-Skjold, who .is on the staff of the physico-chemi- cal laboraory of the Federated State Schools in Berlin, found that X-rays injure a painting when they are from 10,000 to 100,000 times as strong as they need be for normal penetration of all layers. Gunther and Gotzky (physico-chemienl lin- stitute of the University of Berlin) found that paintings can be X-1ayed repeatedly without harm provided the dose is not greater than that actually required to obtain good shadowproofs of all layers of pig- ments. EY Summer Pruning As results show, trees can be pruned as well in Summer as in Winter or Spring. There is no seri- ous after effect of Summer pruning where pruning . is needed badly. Weak and crowded wood can really be more easily discovered in the Summer time with branches in full leaf. It is easy at this time of year to locate the branches that add nothing but brush to the tree. A little more care will be needed to keep from stripping the bark back around cuts, but this is easily ac- complished. ) WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go \ jivep bould pour out two, pounds of Baia ie into ls , IL this bile Janot wing frosty, your fi n'tdigest, potaons £5 1nio toa ects wd yee Zonk tape n Y, ar, sk and ¢ the word looks punks Were 46 no--more | | deroxon Shutting.
