,C., = The great Nickel mines in On- tario were once -valued -at only $12,- 000 and were sold for that sum, ac- ing to Lieut.-Col. Lennox Ir- ving, of Renfrew, Ont, who is now living in Victoria. i Back in the eighties' a lawyer well- known: in the Ottawa valley, the late John H. Metcalf, acquired what he * thought to be a wonderful nickel prospect in Sudbury, recalls Col, Ir- ving. His younger partner in the law firm, however, was not very enthus- iastic about his. brother's speculative sapabilities. py pA Ritchie, of New York, heard about the Metcalf mine at Sudbury and. hastened: to get. in touch with J. H. Metcalf, who finally sold the rospect to him for $12,000, having wis persuaded by his brother that . it was not worth keeping for a higher figure. Now that science has_devel- the uses of nickel the mine has been valued at a billion dollars. ° Some years later, according to Col, Irving, a Boston lady was traveling over the transcontinental railway was at luncheon in the dining car. when she asked a neighbour: "Would you kindly tell me when we are approach ing Sudbury?" I was told "I could see from the car window a hill which a lawyer sold for $12,000 and which is now worth $400,000,000, but I never believed the story." 5 "The lady was greatly surprised when her neighbor replied: "It's per- fectly true, for I am the son of that lawyer." Determine Extent Copper Deposi In New Disirict Brockville, Mar, 26.--A party of prospectors will set out by aero- plane next month for the Copper Mine district (made famous in connection with Samuel Herne's explorations of the 18th century) to determine the extent of copper deposits. This fact was mentioned "in the course of an address by the Venerable A. L. Fleming, Arch- deacon of the Arctic, here. Should these deposits prove sufficiently extensive, Archdeacon Fleming said the promoters of the project had in mind the harnessing of wat- er powers on the river for the pur- pose of developing the deposits and establishing an accompanying smelter. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1929 or ~AGE NINE Paris, March 26.--Owen D. Young, chairman of the Reparations Experts' Commission, announced yesterday that the wotk of the committee on the preparatory features of the re- paration settlement. had advanced sufficiently to permit the committee to get down to the question of fig- ures. The announcenient was made after a half hour plenary session during which thé committee had heard Lord Revelstoke submit the final text of his report on the trustee bank and commercialization of the debt, Mr. Young's remark was generally interpreted as meaning that the com- mittee could not begin to discuss the figures for annuities in open plenary session as it is well understood that the question has been freely men- tioned privately between delegates and even in the sub-committees. OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN IN THE MINISTRY URGED London, March 26. -- Equal oppor- tunity for service in the ministry o f religion). This is one of the latest planks in the program of the Nu- tional Union of Societies for Equal Citizeriship. For the first time the annual conference has no resolution before it regarding 'votes. for wo- men on the same terms as men", 101 in place of this old slogan there 1s now : an. aspiration . "to ' encourage self-education, independent thinking, and effective action among women voters on all questions concerning their citizenship." Miss Eleanor Rathbone, speaking of the equal opportunities to be se- cured for women mentioned the equal opportunity for service in the minis- try of religion. "It is the one great learned profession from which 'wo- men --with a few exceptions -- are still excluded. Whatever our religious views may be we must realise that here is a great department of 'thought, leadership, and guidance, from which women is excluded purely on account of her sex." A resolution was carried expressing grave concern at the serious 'limita- tions placed on the medical education of women by their = exclusion from nearly all the medical schools in London. it says "When the nervous strain of stage work over- "takes me, find much plea- Sure and relaxation in a 'Buckingham cigarette 'because it is mild and ? ©.is not injurious to the : vocal cords."

Ci. -- Th of the halibut, one ' of -British Columbia's most important food fish, is 'determined in much the same manner as the age of trees-- by the rings.' But instead of cut- ting the entire fish to ascertain the number of rings in a cross-section of its body it is' necessary merely to test a stone found in the ears of the halibut, according to J. P. Babcock, chairman 'of the Interna- tional Fisheries Commission and a well-known authority. on the habits of the halibut. : Mr. 'Babcock siys that ' during the past few years the commission has collected many 'specimens of (halibut larvae much smaller and younger than any previously' known and that it has been possible 'through thege discoveries to study the life history of the halibut more thoroughly than ever before. '""How long the young fish swim upright, and when and what chan- ges before the halibut acquires the habit of lying on one side," with its head twisted sideways, both eyes on, the upper side, "is-unknown," '| says Mr. Babcock, "It ig ome of the most fascinating problems on which the comniission is engaged. It 18 one of the most engaging prob- lems in marine biology. "In recent years there has been no branch of fishery science as 'rich in results as that of the study of age and rate'of growth, In the case of salmon we may determine the life by checking up on tue length of time spent in fresh wat- er, the 'time in the sea and the river in which it is hatched. But this is the way we determine the life of the halibut. The halibut has an 'inner 'ear but no external ear. In the ear a stone is develop- ed which grows in size from year to 'year by deposits from the out- side. The winter growth is more transparent than the summer growth, making a stone which is marked like the rings of the tree. The. bones are called otoliths, or ear bones and these are used to determine age. "The scales of the halibut also show growth rings, but they are so. constructed as to make it more tedious to determine than the study of ear bones. Halibut mature in their eleventh year and we have records. of 'halfbut+living until 40 years of age. The growth of the halibut is slow, but they ultimately grow to great size. Females some- times reach 400 pounds. Males do not attain morethan 100 pounds in weight eyen at the age of thirty- five yedrs." SAYS EMBARGO ON CANADIAN GATTLE WILL HURT STATES Henry Wise Wood Discusses the Hoover Tariff Proposals Vancouver, B.C., March 26.--If the United States keep our cattle out it will hurt that country and it will hurt Canada, said Heury Wise Wood, chairman of the Can~ ada Wheat Pool, discussing the proposed ' Hooyer tariff during a i visit here. "Chicago 18 the natural market for our cattle," said Mr. Wood. "They will not stand the freight tv other markets. It would pay the United States better to import our cattle and feed them than to sell their corn and buy Argentine beef. And that's what they will be fore- ed to do. Then you will find the United States competing with Great Britain as purchasers of beef from the Argentine, You'll find them buying chilled beef and exporting corn," i Mr. Wood. thought that if the '| United States shut Canadian wheat out of the United States market it might do Canada a great 'deal of good. A "*. = No'Fear of Russia "With the united and intelligent support of the farmers nothing can destroy the pool system," he said. "I don't believe that Russia will upset things in the world wheat .|market. - No one has any 'idea of what i8 going on in Russia unless he is there himself. We hear re- ports of the Soviet trying to con- trol: wheat, but there is no contir- mation. « "It's up to the farmers to be. * {come 'efficient in marketing," Mr. Wood continued. 'There is little {wrong with the money system----Iit- tle wrong with the banking system --if the farmers develop intelligent and effective marketing of their products. If the farmers do that, they will find there is plenty of 'money to go round, and the whole nation: will: 'enjoy permanent pros- perity."

The rest of the skeleton of the ancient beast may be lodged some- where in the surrounding clay, Professor Blackwelder believes, where doubtless it was trapped and drowned thousands' of years ago when the water of the Bay was higher than now and when the clay where the bones were, found was on the bottom of some shallow, muddy lagoon. No .remains of ancient man were found with the mastodon bones, but Professor Blackwelder recalls that several years ago a human skull was found at about this same depth and in similar clay and sand deposits on what is now the cam- pus of Stanford University, not far away. The suggestion that the Menlo Park mastodon and the an- cient human being at Stanford liv- ed at about the same time is de- scribed by Professor Blackwelder as 'not to be lightly dismissed." In Europe drawings of the extinct mammoth were made in caves by men who lived side by side with those beasts. No such contempor- ary pictures of mastodons have been found in North America, al- though scientistsareal ways hoping that some will be. FLOATING LOGGING CAMP 15 PLANNED Innovation Seen In Lumber Industry of British Columbia Comox, B. C. -- A floating logging camp, probably the largest of its kind in the world, will soon be in operation on Comox Lake. Not only will the bunkhouse, cookhouse and other camp units be built on rafts but the actual logging equip- ment weighing hundreds of tons will also be on the water. The Comox Logging Company, which is making this innovation in timber cutting, is one of the largest operations in British Columbia and has taken out logs over a wide area on the East coast of Vancouver Is land. Finding itself still'in possession of an extensive belt of timber along the shores of Comox Lake and with no means of handling the trees écon- omically from shore, it hit upon the unique plan of logging from the wa- ter. A huge raft 150 feet wide and 200 feet long will be constructed of 'giant logs, some of them four or five feet in diameter, There will be three tiers of these logs, and the average depth of the raft will be twelve feet. Al- together, one million feet of timber will be used in construction of the raft. Several miles of cable will be used to lash the big logs together. The logging machinery will be instal- fed on this raft and with steel tackle the logs, after being cut down on shore, will be hauled from the land into the watér and there placed in booms to be towed down to the head of the lake where they will be pick- ed up and placed on flat cars bound or the sawmills. 3 : In addition to the big raft on which the logging will be done, five floats 60 feet by 150 feet will be built and these will accommodate the bunk- house and other camp houses. More than 200:men will be employed in the camp: We need more good, old-fashion- ed temperange revivals, But the trouble is we have no Horrible ex- amples in these days with which to illustrate the dangers of liquor.-- William Allen White.

ON CHEESE B / KIT Largest Makers of Pasteurized Cheese in the world. Cheese Why be so particular about 'getting KRAFT? KRAFT has set and maintains its own rigid standards 'of quality .... because KRAFT is made only from No: 1 Cana- dian Cheddar Cheese, matured, blended and pasteurized for your safety .... because KRAFT" has full cream: content, If you purchase an imitation, it may be made from skimmed milk . ...and not from full cream milk like KRAFT. Skim milk lacks the food value of KRAFT full cream cheese.... lacks, too, the rich nutty flavour and healthful goodness that have made KRAFT the h throughout the world. Besides the five-pound loaf, KRAFT Cheese is sold in one- - half pound and one-pound packages and in the Dollar Box in most sections. Other Cheese foods we manufacture are VELVEETA; NUKRAFT; KAY. Our name is on all of these packages. It is well worth looking for. KRAFT Cheese is good Cheese because it is honest cheese. 3 DOES your grocer cut it from a loaf printed with the KRAFT Cheese trademark, or has the loaf some other name on it? If KRAFT isn't on the foil or box, it is not the genuine KRAFT Cheese you asked for. KRAFT'S astounding popularity has brought a flood of substitutes onto the market....sub- stitutes which imitate KRAFT in size, in shape and in tinfoil wrapping. ...but that's all! So again we say.... THE ONLY WAY TO BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF GETTING GENUINE KRAFT CHEESE IS NOT ONLY TO ASK FOR IT BY NAME, BUT TO SEE THE NAME "KRAFT" RIGHT ON THE TINFOIL WRAPP- ING....FOR NO ONE ELSE CAN USE THE: KRAFT BUT THE ORIGINAL MAKE i t KTR qd ; ' ig Micha SR TO LSE TY his PN use § 1 igh standard of cheese ESE
