A Day Is Born The International Date Line, which, like the Equator, I* an im- sginsu'y line, runs between two islands known as Big Diomedos and Little Diomedes, sitoatM al- most halfway between tiie nmim- lands of Asia and Al«tka. It is here, between the Old World.aB4 -^; the New, that each new day ia bom, and when it la Ne:fr Year's Day on Big Diomedes, it is still a full twenty-four hours behind on Little Diomedes. The selec- tion of this partifi]}^ spot to de- cide the 'begwaing of each day was decided' ]>y an international committee bi scientists, who took every other possible site into consideration. 'We've now come to Mr. Brown, the Uuc speaker on our program," said the weary toast- nwster. Brown arose slowly as those about the banquet tiU>lo made a weak but polite attempt at ap- plauding. "I'm bored from listening so much," he bagaa, "and I'm too tired to give my speech. Any roan who would like to know what I would have said if I'd been first on the list can read the speech; it'j here, all type- written. Thanks." Brown sat down amid deafen- ing applause. ^ â€" â€" Mother: WItat ar,< you do- inK in the pantry. Tommy? Tommy: 'Fighting tempta- tion, mother.

Palace of Soviets Canada Sets Out Millions of Trees Ash, Mapte and Carragana Are Being Planted on Prair- ies to Help Pight Off Drought Dr. E. S. Archibald, Director of the Kxperimentai Farms Ser- vice, Ottawa, announces that be- tween 7.000,000 and 8.000,000 trees will be distributed in Can- ada this year as part of the pro- gram of giving the prairie areas trees to fight off drought. In 20 years nearly 200,000,000 trees have gone out from forest nursei-y stations to fight soil ero- sion and give shelter to homes on the plains.

Whot Science Is Doing SUN'S "FLOWERS OF FIRE" "Flowers of fire on the face of the sun" are being studied by Dr. E. S. Richardson at the Mt. Wil- son Observatory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The phenomena appearing around the edge of a sun spot like the petals of a flower or the tendrils of a plant, are long filaments and in- dicate an extensive field of force. They are undoubtedly streams of gas. NEW METHOD DRIES WOOD The same diathenuic method by which heat is produced in the human body by high-frequency electrical currents in the "arti- ficial fever" machines is now be- ing tised to dry wood. The wood is placed between two large metal plates carrying the high-frequen- cy current which act a« a local broadcasting station that sends out energy later transformed into heat. This means will dry in four hours a four-inch thick piece of cypress ihat would require four years by the ordinary air- drying method. MAY INCREASE LIFE SPAN A chemical â€" sodium thiocy- aaate â€" which might conceivably increase man's life span to 185 years was described last week by Dr. William Marias Masiloff, pro- fessor of biochemisti-y at Brook- lyn Polytechnic Institute. "On the basis of what we have done with rabbits," he says, "wo have come to the conclusion that if we can do the same thing for man, he can live a healthy and normal life until the age of 185." MAGNETIC "KNEE" OVER OCEAN Discovery of a magnetic "knae" between North America and Europe, accounts for poor radio transmission. "Knee," is a technical term for a magnetic barrier.

GROWN IN SUWWY, SOUTMIBH ONTARIO Resourceful Crime One of the most ingenious and also meanest crooks discovered during 1940, says "Canadian In- surance", vras one in Syracuse, N.Y., who was fond of giving dinner parties. During the part- ies he left his wife to entertain the guests then went out and looted their homes. In Portland, Ore., a "Mr. Wa- douski" telephoned a welder, as- serting tliat some one had been tampering with his safe and had jamjced the mechanism. The wel- der came over, opened the safe and received five dollars for his work. "Mr. Wadouaki" then emptied the safe and departed with $1,000.

HEALTH TOPICS Hospital Care Plan Develops Considerable interest in plana reported under way for a Plan for Hospital Care throughout On- tario, was erpresaed last week by officials of the Health League of Canada at its headquarters in Toronto. Ic was understood that the Plsii would be under the aus- pices of tlie Ontario Hospital As- sociation. It was pointed out that a sim- ilar plan is now entering its third successful year at Winnipeg, where mora than 10 per cent of tlie inhabiranto were enrolled as subscribors, and that all reports point to its having a decided and beneficial influence on the health of the community. "Any scheaie". said a physician attached to the Le.ogua "which wili raaiie it possible for the low- wage earner to avail himself of adequate hospital treatment, not RHEUMATIC SUFFERERS Accept This Generous Offer!

Community Effort for Sclf-Help .According to details prepared by a co-.nmittee of the Ontario Hospital .Association, the Ontario plan wouid follow those approved by the .American Hospita" Asso- ciation and now operating in many centres of the United States. It would be a non-profit, com- munity effort baaed upon co-op- erative, self-help. Financial prosperity of the Plan would mean, not dividends to stock- holders, but increased benefits te subscribers. The Plan calls for the enrol- ment of employed workers fai groups at the lowest possible monthly rate of siii>scription compatible with actuj'iial sound- ness. By arrangement with the employer this weekly or monthly fee could be deducted from wages. In return, the worker would be entitled to complete hoepitalisa- tioa for himself or any member of his family in case of need, and would have the assurance that the hospital bill wotild be paid by the Plsn without financial worry or burden to himself. 100,000 FARMERS GM tutar oaint at iow«>r cost l)k« nsariy IMCBM otter famtrt an dotntf witn Usrs Klat MiMntt ^«M.
