Placements this year are expected to be reduced con- siderably because of the generally brighter Western gicture. The Federal Labor Department has negotiated agreements with Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia to renew for this season the plan first started in the 1936-37 fall and winter. The Federal and Provincial treas- uries split the cost 50-50. Eligible for placement under the agreements are '"necessitous individuals without means of sup- port who otherwise would be in receipt of relief." In practice the great majority placed have been single men though many single women have also found homes for the winter months. A Meteor Sounded Like Eggs Frying OTTAWA. _-- A meteor, throwing off a stream of sparks and followed by a tail of flame is reported to have fallen southwest of Ottawa last week. Efforts to locate it have been unsuccessful. Residents said "they saw a ball of flame and sparks shoot across the clear night sky. They said the meteor made a hissing . sound like eggs frying. Leave Eyes For Use Of Living People Are Asked to Will Their Eyes To Science When ee They Die . ' Persons are urged to will their eyes to science in order to restore the eyesight of other individuals. Dr. Ramon Castroviejo of New York City, author of the proposal, gaid- the eye surgeons frequently . can bring back the sight of persons who have suffered injuries to the cornea, or front covering of the eye Pieces of Cornea Needed In many cases, however, the tiny pieces of corneal tissue necessary for grating a new window into the eye are not available for replace- ment, These tissues can be obtained from the eyes of stillborn infants or from corpses if the operation is done soon after death, Dr. Cas- troviejo said. The latter source is the more reliable, he added. 1t is possible to preserve the eyes in usable condition for several days, he explained. Thus it would be possible to keep a supply on hand in the hospital refrigerator and to co-ordinate the number of opera- tions with that supply. Ears of Corn A Foot Long A new '"'sweepstake'" variety: of corn, the ears of .which measure more than a foot long' and have a circumference of eight or nine inches, has been developed at Blenheim, Ont. The corn has been developed from a variety imported three years ago from the United States and has now become The variety is a very large type of dent corn, especially adapt- ed for silo-filling purposes, said Blenheim's' reeve, Ernest M. Warwick, in an interview about the new corn. Upswing In U.S. May Benefit Us President of Canadian Advertis= ers Is Hopeful That Better Times in the States Will Be Reflected Here. President B. W. Keightley, Mont- real, told the 24th,annunal meeting of the Association of Canadian Ad- vertisers that an approaching busi- ness upswing in the United States "would be reflected in an advance in Canadian trade and commerce, "Many indications point to gen- erally fmproved conditions .in our country. I think it fair to assume that 1939 can be a better year for most businesses than 1938. "I think e have pagsed what has been re. erred to .as the Roosevelt reges: sion, that certain strong forces are at work in that country, which will make for a measure of recovery, that by reflection we shall benefit by those Influences in Canada, and that many indications point to gen- erally .improved conditfons in our own country." - Before a crowd of several thousand the new International Blue- water Bridge between Port Huron opened by Governor Frank Murph epburn, of Ontarjo, Governor States" switch, Mich. y of Michigan, and Pr | urphy is pictured throwing the "United ile Premier Hepburn, RIGHT, looks on. and Sarnia, Ont., wes officially Premier Mitchell "Rock Of Ages" And The Bible The words of the well-known hymn "Rock of Ages" can be coupled with quotations or para- phrases from the Bible in a very interesting way. Of course, the song is not made up of literal quotations from the Scriptures, but the lines refer to passages which are strikingly similar: Rock of ages, cleft for me--Psalm 62: 0-8 Let me hide myself In-thee -- Exodus 33: 22 From thy riven side which flowed --John 19: 34 Be of sin the double cure -- 1g Kings 2: 9-10 Cleanse from its guilt and power -- Isaiah 1: 18 Not the labor of my hands--Psalm 69: 6 Can fulfill, the laws demands -- Matthew 5: 17-18 . Could my zeal no respite know-- Psalm 69: 6 Could my tears forever flow -- Psalm 6: 6 All my sin 'could not atone--Heb- rews 10: 5-6 n Thou must save, and thou alone --Hebrews 10: 8-10 Nothing in my hand I bring -- Isaiah 4: 1 Simply to thy cross I cling--Gala- tians 6: 14 Naked, come to thee for dress-- Romans 13: 14 Helpless, look to thee for grace . --Philippians 4: 13 Foul, I to the fountain fly--Psalm 51: 7 Wash me, Savior, or I die--John 13% 8 While I draw this fleeting breath --Psalm 103: 15-16 When my eyelids close in death -- Ecclesiastes 12: 3-7 When I soar to worlds unknown --John 14: 2-3 See thee on thy judgment throne --Matthew 25: 31 Rock of ages, cleft for me -- I Corinthians 10: 4 Let me hide myself in thee -- Psalm 17: 3. Two Mexicans quarreled and decided to fight a duel. To do this without attracting too much atten- tion, they took a train into the country. The first Mexican asked for a return ticket, but his op- ponent only took a single. "Ha-ha," laughed the first, "You expect not to come back, my friend? I always get a return." "I never do," replied the other calmly. "I always take my adver- gary's_ return half." You will notice,' said the tech nical master as he placed his fin- ger on a piece of mechanism and seized the handle, "that this ma- chine is turned by a crank." - And he marveled greatly at the laugh that ran round the class. There is a difference here: Hubby--"Don't bring me any more -bills, déar, I can't face them." ' Wife--'You needn't, darling. I only want you to foot them," They had come to the most im- portant and spectacular scene in the film, and the director was ex- claiming what was to happen. ow understand," he said to the hero, "in this scene 'the lion will pursue for 500 feet" The hero looked at the lion, then at the director. "Five hundred feet," he echoed, dismally. 'Yes, that and no more. You understand." Our hero nodded. "I do, hut does the lion?" Inauguration Of Air Express This Month Trans-Canada Air- lines 'Began a Service Be- tween Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg Inauguration of air express ser- vice between Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg was made Oct. 17th, by the Trans-Canada Airlines. The service extends the air ex- press routes now in operation be- tween Winnipeg and Vancouver to establish daily "two-way complete express service by air between Montreal and Vancouver. The initial schedule calls for departure from St. Hubert Air- port at 7 am. (E.S.T.), arriving 8:08 a.m., arriving at Toronto 9:56 a.m., departing 10:11 a.m, and arriving at Winnipeg 5.08 pm.

At the Eritish Dairy Farmers' As- sociation Dairy Show held in Lon- don September 26 to September 29, first award .went to Canada Packers Limited, Toronto. The :contest, which is open to all bacon curers in the British Empire (exclusive of the Irish Free State) fs for the best bacon produced and cured in the British Empire. Each showing consists of four Wiltshire Sides, which are scored on the: following basis: . Style and Workmanship 15, Suit- ability of Sides 20, Firmness of Fat 10, Firmness. of Rind 6, Colour 20, Flavour 30. It is interesting to note that the winner this year scored 96 out of the possible 100 points, and the first five exhibits all scored 92 points or better. This compares with a high score of 87 points for 'the winner of the first prize last year, indicating the progress that is being made in Canada in the im- provement of export bacon. It is also interesting to note that since the contest on Wiltshires was first begun in 1923, the prize has ~been awarded to a Canadian firm every year. In the 16 years that the .contest has run, first prize has been won by Canada Packers four- teen times. Footprints 84 jnches long have been 'found jn a Colorado mine.

Canadian Art Show Has Taken London by Storm Paintings and Sculpture by Can- adals Artists Receive Highest Praise In Old Country Exhi- bition Canada's "Century of Art" ex- hibition which, in October, began its two-months run at historic Tate Gallery, has taken London by storm. Following the opening ceremon- fes which were attended by Lon- don's elite, including representa- tives of the entire diplomatic corps, crowds thronged the Thames-side gallery to view the highly-praised Canadian paintings and sculpture. "Extraordinarily Intereoting." "England has vaguely known for some years that Canada has a mind of her own in matters artis- tic," says the Manchester Guardian, which describes the exhibition as "vigorous and extraordinarily in- teresting." "Whatever may be happening in other corners of the empire, Can- ada alone can claim to have found: ed an independent school of paint- ing," the Manchester Guardian adds. Impression Of Freshness The Yorkshire Post declares it is ' not surprising that the exhibition as a whole should give an impres- sion of freshness and open air. With a continent at their doors, the paper says, artists have obeyed Constable's advice to seek commu- nion with Nature, without turning to impressionism. Friendly Spiders Spiders, with very few ex- ceptions, are friends of our. They help to rid the garden of insect pests. They do not attack us, and may be tamed to take food from our fingers. They are among the most highly-developed artists in their line of endeavor. They have suspension bridges, trap doors, several grades of exquisite silk. They are balloonists of note and are famous as divers. One-Pound Apple SARNIA, -- A-tisket, a-tas- ket, here's an apple too big for that little yellow basket about which everybody is singing, J. D.

Many Problems Facing Britain L Before Parliament Reconvenes Five Questions Will Have To Be Studied Government heads in Great Brit- ain before Parliament reconvenes November 1, are studying what to do about the following problems which confront them. 1. Germapy's demand that Great Britain and others return colonies taken from the Reich at the end of the Great War, 2. Italian intervention in Spain, which is holding up fulfillment of the Anglo-Italian agreement; 3. Economic re-alignment of the Danubian states, being drawn into Germany's trade orbit at the ex- pense of Great Britain, France and Italy; 4. Economic and Political adjust- ment of Czechoslovakia, which would be lost to her former friends if Germany realizes Nazi hopes of a customs union with the dismem- bered republic; 5. Intensification of Britain's re- armament, described during the crisis as inadeguate to cope with modern war. One unanswered question was whether Great Britain would resist Germany's desire for colonial ex- pansion. Declaring he thas given up Arc- tic .adventure, John Rymill, South Australian explorer, sailed for England to marry Miss Eleanor Francis.

MOONLIGHT, RADIO PRODUCED A new use for radio, to light the sky fifty miles overhead as brightly as the full moon does, is proposed in Nature, British official science journal, 'The new light would be an artificial aurora. A single radio station could cover a patch of sky sixty miles in diam- eter with this light. It would il- luminate country roads as well as ordinary lighting systems would, and could be used anywhere. CANCER OVER 60 An "alarming" increase in can- cer deaths among persons over 60 shows that their period of life is the "dreaded cancer age" for Americans. Deaths in the-over-60 class almost doubled from 1910 to 1930. HEAT TREATMENT OF STEEL A revolutionary heat-treating process in steel making was de- veloped at the Kearny (N.J.) lab- oratories, By its use ordinary carbon steels can be given prop- erties otherwise obtainable only 'in the more complex alloy steels. A picce of steel can be made hard enough to scratch glass and yet remain so ductile that it can be bent into a coil of small diam- cter, SNAKE VENOM EYE TREAT- MENT The venom of snakes (rattle- snakes, watermoccasins, cobras) most deadly to man may soon prove onc of the most effective treatments to save eyesight, a South American physician de- claves. Such conditions as inflammaticn of the tiny arteries of the eye, blood clots in the eye veins, and spasms of the blood vessels have been treated with the venom. Royal Winter Fair 'Is Still Growing A brilliant unbroken record of seventeen years in the two-fold field of Canadian agriculture and international horsemanship will be still further advanced when the Rayal Winter Fair opens at To- ronto on November 15 with a pro- gramme of wider scope, more vivacity, larger prizes and greater variety than have marked its cumulative successes of the past.

Discover Oil Near Watford STRATHROY. --- A new oil well has been struck in the new oil field which has been develop- ing in the Watford district in recent months. This well, which was struck on the farm of Samuel Birch, two miles east of Watford and on the land near the railway south of the highway, showed first indica- tions at the 360 foot mark, and within a short time there was approximately 300 feet of oil standing in the well. This well has every indication of being a really good producer, as it is usual, in order to obtain the best flow of oil in this section of the country that drilling must extend to 4560 feet, -- | Classified Advertising | ------CC-- AGENTS WANTED GARDEN STOCK WORLD'S LARGEST PUBLISHING campany can use full or part-time agents to solicit orders for Pictor- inl Review, (ood Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan, which are just a few.
