Whipping Canada's I Winter Dangerous Lakes and Streams Time for Babies Twenty-flve years ago the drift of American anglers to the Dominion was incidental and ot small numerical •ccount. Plenty of good fishing then available in Ibe Rt-public. combined ^ with meagre knowledge of Canadian reaources, public laws and methods of transport, rendered a "trip to Can- ada" an exceptional undertaking. Can- adian National Railways records of recent years present a contrast not only in the happy invasion of tens of thousands wihere hundreds came before, but In the wide familiarity with Canadian geo^iapby and the â- porting resources 'cat each section la peculiarly fitted tj furnish. This, of course, is the .'.onsequence of more diffused education on the subject of angling, and a new appreciation of the tact that Canada with its unoccupied •paces. Its 'imltless weair* of forest and stream, richly endowed and as richly maintained, puts claims upon the fishing aspirant, which the older regions of the soufb rannot hope to rival. In an effort to induce sportsmen to Tlslt Canadian fishing localities the Canadian National Railways lave published and given wide distribution, particularly in the United States, to a booklet describing th? better fishing locations. Motion picture films, de- picting fishing in different parts of Canada are also firculated widely, tending to create Interest in Canada's angling possibilities Whether it be satiuon or trout, bass or maskinonge.

The tourist bureau of the Can- adian National Railways in Montreal itands ready at all limes to assist the angler to get prop<?rly located and to place him with a competent and re- liable guide or at a comfortable fish- fng lodge.

Back in 1921, gastro-intestinal diseases, which mothers called "sum- mer complaint," accounted for 15 deaths per 1,000 live births. Most of thfse were caused by bad milk, bad water and flies contaminating food. By 1930 the gastro-intestinal death rate slumped to eight per 1,000. This trend is continuing. ; The respiratory diseases â€" the win- ter grist of coughs, colds and pneu- i monia â€" remained practically un- changed, 10 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1921; 11 deaths per 1,000 ' in 1930.

It took three weeks tc reach Vir- ginia, however, and that was fairly good going, with their transportation facilities. They travelled by covered wagon, and team of horses. It was real adventure. Mr. and Mrs. Watson recently cel- ebrated their diamond wedding anni- versary and their stories of the trip were a revelation to some of the "youngsters" present. The happy yotmg couple of 1875 â€" now enjoying life on the shores of Georgian Bay â€" pitched their tent when they felt like it and cooked their meals as they â- went along. They were mostly "dirt" Toads in those days but no automo- biles to give them the dust. Even the bicycles were scarceâ€" just the old- fashioned high-wheeled kind, if any. The Canadian couple spenT; some time in Virginia and returned as they •went â€" without a mishap. Mr. Watson was bom in the town- ehip of Portland, near Kingston, Ont,, in 1847. Now in his 88th year he is taking more interest ir: life than he *ver did. 'Yes, I go up town every day," he »«marked, "occasionally meet up with old friends from the country and talk oy«r old times." There's still plenty of Idck in life after a man passes his 80th birthday, he says- Mrs. Watson was born near Mea- ford, in May 1861. She too has good boalth and continues her daily house •work. They were married Feb. 18, 1873 ;n the Meaford Methodist Church. About 1876 they took up farming In the township and later Mr. Wat- •on engaged as a thresher for twen- *j years. They now are retired. They have one daughter, Mrs. Joseph Ab- •rcrombie.

D. auanBaul JAPAN MAKING GREATER USE OF TYPEWRITER In Japan there has been a radical change in the handling of corres- pondence by government offices and larger business houses. Previously letters were written by band but a typewriter has been produced with Japanese characters and it is now being adopted in government offices and the more substantial business houses. The machine is more cum- bersome than that used in Canada due to the greater numiber of char- acters required by the Japanese language. This increased use of the typewriter in Japan has brought about a great demand for carbon paper. The higher grades of carbon paper are supplied by Great Britain and Canada, while the cheaper grad- es come from Austria, the United States and Germany.

The Mean Tblng The honeymoon is over when be suggests that a permanent wave should be permanent â€" Atlanta Con- stitution an old woman â€" ydu can't do that!" somebody said to pint-sized Josie, known to the cir- cus profession as one of the great bareback riders of all time, up and showed them. She went back to the circus after fifteen years of what she contemptuously calls "soft liv- ing" and did difficult back somer- saults in the middle ring at Madison Square Garden, setting a comeback record that has yet to be equalled. Moreover, she's still settng records â€" and she looks younger than ever, though .she must be seventy ii she's a day. When she had proved her point, and the desire to give her little adopted daughter a settled home had caused her to leave the ring, this time for good, she started giving riding lessons. From that, she went on to open a dancing class which has in turn developed into the most famous posture school in the country, patronized chiefly by rich debutantes and society worrien who know they must carry themselves well to look well. The diminutive Mrs, Robinson's latest pioneer adventure is in a School of Fashion where she teaches correct posture to students who later will become fashion artists, stylists, buyers, style consultants and advis- ers. Wearing Clothes Well "They need to know about correct posture not only for themselves, but also for guidance in drawing fashion figures and in supervising the train- ing of models whose movements must be rhythmical and effective," explained Ethel Traphagen, head of the school and originator of the idea. "Yes," agreed Mrs. Robinson, de- monstrating her point by aiming an accurate and extremely graceful kick at the light fixture, "the thing that ruins many expensive and beautiful costumes worn by women today is the way the women carry them- selves. They may have their hair just right. Their faces may be done in the latest modes as far as mas- sage and make-up go, but the clothes become mere rags unless they are worn well. And it takes good pos- ture to carry tSem off." Comfortingly Mrs. Robinson says that it doesn't matter much whether you are thin or fat, provided you know how to stand and walk and sit "See this," she admonished, .slip- ping off her rather tiny pumps and walking around the room on her heels. "Women begin t« age first in the ankles and being to show it around the abdomen. Never was there a time when they needed pos- ture more, for the modem fashions, especially for the beach, are most revealing. "Never Be Tired." "What I really teach, though, is how never to be tired. Anybody who studies with me learns how to wind up the body in the morning and keep it that way all day. 1 don't know the meaning of the word tired my- self, and never did except for those 15 years when I 'w^nt society.' Then I was tired all right â€" tired mainly of waiting around for maids to do this and that for me." This time when she "married rich and lived on Long Island" she nearly "lost her body", Mrs. Robinson de- clares. That is, she did none of the exercises that had kept her supple all her life, and when she began to train again she could barely lift her leg as high as her waist. Now she can lift it as high as her head and higher, can bend and stretch any part of her body. Her flesh is as firm and supple as that of a 16-year- old girl. Her figure is perfect and •he weighs between 98 and a 100 pounds, never more. That's just right for her "five feet and a sug- gestion," which according to her is her height "Ob, yes, I have plenty of years but I won't tell you how many," she parrred merrly, rocking agilely on her heels. "You're as young as you act, anyway, and so how can you say I'm really old?" Certainly it is difficult to say about one whose blue gray eyes are so clear, whose face is so unlined and whose smile and mental outlook are so youthful. "What matters in life is to stick to a thing and do a good job of it, whatever it is," she said firmly. "I came of a circtis family. My father's people were mountebanks and we may have lacked some kinds of training but we certainly were taught that character and integrity counted above all else. Money? Bah, that was nothing." Among the exercises that Mrs. Robinson gives to her talented stu- dents are a spine balancing stunt, a stretching regimen and the heel and toe walking. For these last two you must get way up on heel or toe. It's hard but .she can do it and so, she says, can anybody who will practice. Doubling Yourself in Half For the spine balancing, sit on the floor and draw your knees up close to the body; then slowly stretch the legs upward with the toes pointing skyward. You'll find yourself tilting and finally falling backward, but by concentration you can double yourself in half, find balance and exentually complete this strenuous exercise successfully. "I find," says Mrs. Robinson, "that the simplest of all beneficial stretching can be done with the aid of a pole. Stand flat against it, feet firmly on the floor, with the heels, calves and shoulders touch- ing the pole. The arms reaching overhead to the top of the pole pull the entire body to a full length â€" flattening the stomach, raising the chest and actually stretching the spine so that round shoulders soon disappear. And it's so easy when done correctly." • « « If you're middle-aged, don't do any of these energetic "stunts" un- til you have consulted your doctor, and in any case, don't go at them too strenuously. Hearts are some- times rather weak after years of what Mrs. Robinson calls "soft liv- ing."

"Get out â€" " shrieks the lady. "Go home," she stamps. "He has al- ready broken down two 'snaps." He licks hands all around, then shoots over to the nexr yard where there are pigeons to chase. "I can't keep a thing for the chil- dren, the dogs and the pigeons," she worries. "Oh, here comeg that baby now. His mother ought to know bet- ter. He pulls things." The baby, however does not ar- rive. He is rescued by his mother in time. The lady speaks of the weather. It has been too dry and then too wet.

They would help their masters to make this, in every re- spect, a red-letter year in Toronto's history. The masters, as usual, would donate handsome prizes. Hence the Dog Show. Many noble animals of long lineage entered the lists. This was no time for holding aloof from the commoner herd. Breed and poise were evident in the numerous cages. Serene mas- tiffs, conscious of their class, gazed dreamily at the spectators Excitable terriers wiiose ethnological roots ran back to many lands across the sea yelped for attention. All aristocrats listed In the canine blue book were on hand. Representatives of the larg- er breeds sniffed contemptuously at the little fellows that any human might put In his pocket.
