Delirium Tremens Treated With Insulin in London London The 1/omlon Society for. the Study of Inebriety recently heard' from Dr. W. K. Wills, tta medical superintendent, of a new use for In- nii!i:i. the substance developed tori diabetes treatments by Dr. K. G. 1 Banting of Toronto, and his collabora- tors. Insulin, said Dr. Wills, was highly, valuable In the treatment of deliri- um tremens and was used in the same way as In thp case of diabetes. The medical superintendent found, "D.T.'s" declining owing largely to the high cost ot spirits and the con- sequent power consumption by the public. Insulin has not been used in treat- ing delirium tremens in Canada, To- ronto doctors stated. It was diffi- cult to Imagine any scientific basis for such treatment, they said. As a means of restoring appetite and getting the patient to resume eat- ing, It might bo of ome use, tiiey declared. Belgium Now Joins Bushmen Rush The "Great Powers" Johnson Plane In Less Than 1 2 Years Bel- gium Has Made a Com- plete Comeback Belgium Is celebrating her one hun- dred years of independence by exhlbl- ( tlons of Industry, art and science.' What King Albert at the Antwerp Exposition described as "the deter-, mined and Intelligent labor of the' Belgian people" has wrought a re- covery from war, which Is manifested in the rebuilding of towns, improved highways, better standard of living. The fiscal system had to be recast. There were crises In Belgian finance in 1919. 1920 and 1926. But such' were the energy and tenacity of the, people that all obstructions were ceared away. A visitor to Belgium | to-day is Impressed by the scale of "the great national festivities which,' In leas than twelve years, the Bel- gians havo been able to organize." Thirty nations are represented at the Antwerp Colonial and Maritime Exposition, mainly industrial and com-| merclal.

British Airwoman Describes Strange Adventure of Famous Flight Brisbane, Queensland Australians do not ceease to marvel at the memor- able feat of Miss Amy Johnson, the young English airwoman, iu forging her way alone from Croydon, Eng., to Australia. Details of the heroic flight still form the leading topic of conversation. Among the thrilling adventres en- countered by Miss Johnson is one that has received less attention than it deserves. It was at Timor, a large volcanic island of the Malayan archipelago, where she decided to make a night landing. No sooner had she comj to earth, as she told the people of Brisbane, than she saw a company of black men come running out from little huts near by, brandishing knives, swords and spears. As soon as they came up to the plane and oberved It* only occupant, they stopped undecided. At last she heard them say one word Pastor. Their attitude suddenly changed. She guessed it was a mission. "One of them," she said, "took my hand and led me jver miles ot coun- try to thn church. The Pastor was there. You may imagine tny relief to see him." Miss Johnson atrilmtes her success mainly to her reliance on divine pro-' tection. "I began with the prayers ot my| people," said Miss Johnson, "and each, days as I hopped off, I asked a bless- ing on my trip. "When I was crossing the Java Sea,' I was In the midst of rainstorms and could find no opening. I could not' see which way to go. I was flying close to the water and did not know at what moment I might strike It. When I felt It impossible to go In any direction. I uttered a prayer. I was flying round and round, when a break In the clouds occurred, and I saw a double rainbow around mo. It was a happy manifestation." Youth Conquers And Age Serves?

Joseph John- ston, a sky-riding commercial travel- ler, who is home when he drops down from the clouds at Hattiesburg, has travelled more than 00,000 miles by air on business for a Cincinnati house and is completely "sold" on the idea. Like a majority of travelling sales- men, "Sky-mar." Johnston pays his own expenses j.nd with the price of airplanes being reduced he declares it a paying proposition to travel by air. A much larger territory can be cov- ered, he says and the more territory a salesman covers the more clients he meets and the more "John Han- cocks" he gets signed on the dotted line on his order blanks. Mr. Johnston travels the entire South, excepting Virginia, and finds the airplane peculiarly adapted to his field. He says: "In the South, where one can't rush customers and where they will keep you past train time to entertain you, the airplane pays."

Panama Hats Made Russia Criticizes Of Pine Leaves j American Methods Weaving is Done Entirely Under Water and Often Takes Six Month's Time Contrary to a popular belief '"Pan- ama" hi.ts are not made in Panama, says "The Pathfinder." Genuine Pan- ama hats are made of the young, un- expandcd leaves of the stemless screw pine- sometimes called the jipijepa, a plant common in the tropics. After special treatmen' to remove the soft part of the jipijapa leaf the fibre is soaked to make it pliable. The weav- ing of genuine Panamas is done en- tirely under water, sometimes requir- ing six months to complete a hat. Fine quality Panamas cost any- where from $100 up. But when you wish to bi.y a Panama today yc.u don't have to pay thut much for it. This U because there are so many imitations now. In fact, there are so ninny imi- tations, and such good ones, that it is truly har<i to distinguish a real Pan- ama from an imitation Cenuine Panama hats come from the hands of native weavers in South and Central America, chiefly Ecuador- Peru and Colombia. They nre calle.i Panamas because when they were lir.;t exported some 300 years ago they passed over the 'sthmus of Panama.

Yakovleff. addressing the Communist Party Congress paint- ed an optimistic picture of the suc- cesses and future prospects of collec- tive farming. He declared that col- lective farms which now occupy 90,- 000.000 acres will provide half the sur- plus grain of the country this year. He asserted that the mere co-opera- tion of the former petty holdings yielded an increase of labor produc- tivity of 33 per cent, apart from ad- vantages which come from the In- creased use of tractorj. He stated that 70.000 tractors now functioning In Russia are used, more than the same number would be In America be- cause tin y are communallv. not In- dividual':.' owned. Mr. Yakovleff gave a gloomy de- scription of the st-ite of .igricul tire In America, .saying: "Amorici Is liv- ing through a seve.M_ crisis not only in Industry but also in aKrciilture.

Due to Geographical Position J Airways Are of Special Importance Canada's geographical position will make hc-r one of the most Important units in Empire and world transporta-| tion. This fortunate position is a result of the curvature of the world's! surface. Long air routes, as long! sea routes .are laid out along "Great; j Circles." "Great Circle" Is the navi-j I gator's name for the shortest distance, between two points on the earth's j surface. An examination of a world globe j will show that the shortest route from: (a) Western Europe to Japan, China and the Far East is across' Canada. (b) United States to Northern and Western Europe is over the Eastern 1 part of Canada. (c> United States to Asia and the . Far East is over the Western part of j Canada. On account of Canada's fortunate | geographical position and splendid | flying climate, our airways are of' very special importance and can be , made one of our greatest national assets. Pennies Regulate Famous Old Clock Do you know how Big Ben keeps time? Apparently, this famous clock, like the ones In our own homes, may sometimes vary a little from the cor- rect time, but Is is never more than about a second out a truly remark- able record for a tower clock which is going all the time. The Astronomer Royal revealed the other day how this fine record U maintained. There Is a tray about half-way down the pendulum, and it the clock U losing slightly a half- penny or penny Is placed on this tray. Tho effect is that the pendulum vi- brates a little more quickly, and so the clock Is brought gradually back to the correct time. On the o'her hand. If nig Ben Is gaining, a halfpenny or penny is re-, moved from the tray, and In this way, the pendulum Is slightly slowed] down. Answers.

""* * ~ **"* .. - ' v.- The luncheon tendere-1 Sir Thomas Lipton by the Master Mariners' Com- pany in Fishmonger Hall, London, be fore he sailed his new challenger, Shamrock V, to Gosport to be out- fitted for her trip across the Atlantic, was a unique event In British sport- ing annals. The Prince of Wales is president of the Master Mariners, and his tribute to Sir Thomas will be endorsed by sportsmen the world over. "It is his pluck we 'most ad- mire," said tha Prince, and the great audience cheered him to the echo. He had previously said that, "in the presence of the American Ambassa- dor," he believed it would be as pop- ular a victory in the United States as In England if, at the age of eighty years, Sir Thomas should bring back to England the cup won by America when he was one year old. Ambas- sador Dawes, not to be outdone In sporting generosity immediately arose, asked permission to make a speech, and. gracefully endorsed what the Prince had said. A chorus of ap- proval has come from the American press. It is the spirit of persistence, the "never-say-die" spirit, the dogged cour- age that knows no such word as "de- feat." that sport-loving people every- where admire so much in Sir Thomas. Whether he 'vins the famous cup or not on his fifth attempt, he will have done something of Infinitely greater importance. he will have made one more move towards strengthening the mutual faith of Britain and America In a sport-praised by those best quali- fied to Judge on both sides of the Atlantic, and that has been main- tained unstained because It has never been commercialized.

Five minutes later the stationmas- ter again visited the oil-shed to see how his new assistant was getting on, mid was surprised to find the new hand emptying little drops ot oil out of a can ou the floor. "Good raclous, man," he cried, "what ever are you doing?" Murphy shook his head sheepishly. "I'm looking for the red oil for the danger signals." he replied. Answers. HEROISM "Heroism," said a great preacher, "is nothing but a spark kindled i:i the household, carried outside, and blown into flame. A thing that a mother does every day of her life nobody celebrates, but. let her do it before an admiring crowd, and she is h?ro!c." The virtue Is in the spark. If it be necessary to do a noble deed before the world so that its publicity blows It into flame, ail honor to the spark that Is living ready for the public deed. But, If It be necessary 10 do the noble deed In the secret corner of the home, all honor to the spark that is living ready for the private dool in which the world sees no heroism.
