Klrkwood I. __________________________________ If the human brain continues ta grow ini size, men may came ta have the bulbous-damed, small- faced, short-jawed head that car- 6 toonists already draw for the mar of the far future. Thus declares Dr. Weidenreich, of Peiping Union Medical College, China. This an- thropologist says that human evo- lution since the beginning has been in the direction of producing a "brain man," and that further progress is likely to continue in the same direction. "Our senses," he says, "of seeing, hearing, tast- ing and smelling have suffered in intensity, while we substituted these deficiencies with a higher faculty of combination which took place in other sections of the brain. With the aid of tools and instruments invented by the brain power we have over-compensated ail that we may have lost of the direct sharpness in sense." If any of us have funny faces, perhaps the reason is that we have a superior brain! The educated man in this cen- tury is one who has acquired six specific skills - these: (1) abil- Business Directory Legal M.. G. V. GOULD, B.A., LL.B.

Sa says W. H. Cowley, president of Hamilton Callege. "College students," he goes an ta say, "are no longer children, but not quite adults. They are struggling ta grow up, ta learn ta live equally with their fellows. At heart they are prafoundly seriaus. They seek fervently for a formula for their lives. They stand on the threshold of manhood and womanhood with raised thumbs, like hitch-hikers, awaiting the driver who will car- ry them along the road af life ta a more abundant, mare fruitful life." Aida Reubens, London, Eng- 'and, makes her living - quite a writes the text which goes on greeting cards - for Christmas, birthdays, and other anniversary or sentimental occasions. Miss Reubens has made an average of $3700 per year for the past fif- teen years writing sentimental verses. Miss Reubens saught a positian in a statianery store - behind the greeting card counter - in order ta get understanding of the greet- ing card market. She faund (1) that nine out of ten buyers were of the working-class type; (2) that nearly ah aof them bought, verse, and the same kind of verse; (3) that verses cantaining the words 'worry,' 'dreary,' 'trouble,' 'sadness,' etc., remained unsoid. She learned that in England alone there were sold every year be- tween four and five millian Christmas cards. Sa she cancen- trated on the warking-class mar- ket, and her work began ta sel- nat because her poetry was good, but because it spoke a message of sincere sentiment, such as wauld be sent by a warking girl ta her sweetheart or special chum. Seventy-two percent of the earth's area bas remained unin- vestigated - s0 says a famous volcanQlagist: he means that the ocean-covered area of aur planet remains unstudied. "The earth is mostly unexplared," says Dr. Thomas N. Jagger, of the United States National Park Service at Hawaii. "Not a rock has been collected from 72%<1 of its area. Is radium there? Is the floor of the ocean valcanic or granite - old or young? Is not lava oozing forth? Is there coal or petroleum in the ocean bed? Are there pre- ciaus fertilizers, metal ores, me- tallic lavas, or strange bacteria?" "There is 100 times as much volcanic action under the sea as above ht," declares Dr. Jagger. Portland and Seattle, principal cities of the Pacific Narthwest, are growing smaller rather than larger - which fact troubles them. Many families who afometime liv- ed ini them have moved and are maving ta the neighboring coun- tryside. For the first time in 60 years, the 1940 census of these cities has failed ta record an in- crease in the local population. Impraved highways, faster auto- mobiles and an increased inter- est in gardens and truck-farming have attracted city-dwellers ta the surraunding valleys and huIs. A Seattle newspaper attributes the lecline in the city's population ta the fact that Seattle people are Iemanding and getting 'leben- sraum'. The last decade, the pa- per says, has seen thousands af families moving from crowded neîghborhoods ta more agreeable urroundings. A trend towards decentraliza- ion is evident in the Pacific Northwest. Instead of construct- ~ ig factories at Portland, large idustrial concerns have selected tes in much smaller communi- es. c MThep broadcast appeal of the MtrapoJitan Opera for a million , dollar fund ta enable it ta give its broadcast Sunday programmes - an SOS appeal - was responded ta by over 152,000 persans, locat- ed in the United States, Canada, and the countries of South Am- erica.

The book "Florian" is by the author of that beloved book, "Bambi." One af four Lippizanis imported from Austria, Florian bears the crown and crest of the Emperor Francis Josef, for he was bred in the Royal Stud Farm and tramned at Vienna's famed Spanish Riding School. Florian, Curley says, is the finest horse he ever saw. If you are laoking for an un- usual and an adventurous vaca- tion this summer, then you would prabably find it by going ta Lima, Peru, and taking a motor tour from Lima across the Andes and down ta the very edge of the torrid Amazonian jungle. The journey wauld be 190 miles long - accomplished in four days. Fram a level af 16,000 feet abave the sea, you would pass into tropical heat. You wauld go thraugh awe- some gorges, through picturesque Indian towns; you would see lîsmas and perhaps alpacas; you would travel alang snaw-and-ice- bordered roads: you would travel on the highest paved road in the world; you would descend from freezing altitudes ta levels where calla les graw in wild profus- ion; you wouid travel past caffee and sugar plantations; yau would see archids grawing wild in jun- gle trees; you wauld sleep in beds covered with muslin ta keep out mosquitaes. SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS Wrltten speelally for The Statesman by welI known Durham boy, Fred R. Foley, 123 Lake St., St. Catharines, Ont. THE NINETY AND NINE Number 4 "The Ninety and Nine" is ane of the sangs we love, and has had a great influence in evangelistic meetings. It has always been as- sociated with the name of Ira D. Sankey, singing campanion of Dwight L. Maody. The paem was written by an obscure writer, Elizabeth Clephane, but net pub- lished till after her death. The one who was out on the hills far away was her wayward brother. He came ta Canada, lived and died in Fergus, Ontaria, and bumied there. Hundmeds of visitors and tourists through Fergus en- quire where they can find the grave and headstone of George Clephane, and they are directed ta the churchyard of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church as the rest- ing place of "the last sheep." The date on the headstane is May 2, 1851. Mr. Sankey was ioaking for something that would tauch the hearts of the shepherds af Scot- land while he and Mm. Maady were conducting evangelistic cam- paigns in Great Britain. He chan- ced upon this littie poem in the corner of a paper, and clipped it. One night after telling a sermon by Mr. Moady on "The Great Shepherd," Mm. Sankey taok out the little paem and put it befome hlm an his littie portable melo- dian. Without a note, without a tune, he began ta sing as the spirit led him. "There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold; But one was out on the his away, Far off from the gates of gald, Away an the maunitains wlld and bare, Piway from the tender Shepherd's care. Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine, Are they nat enaugh for Thee?' 3ut the Shepherd made answer, 'This of mine Has wandered away fmom Me: Aind aithough the road be rough and steep, Igo ta the desert ta find My sheep.' But none of the ransomed ever knew Haw deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that the Lard passed through, Ere He found His sheep that was lest. Dut in the desert He heard its cry, ick and helpless and ready ta die. 'Lord, whence are thase blood- draps all the way, That mark out the mountain's track?' 'They were shed for one who had gane astray, Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.' 'Lard, whence are Thy hands 50 ent and tamn?' 'They are pierced to-night by many a thorn.' And ail thmough the mountains, thunder-riven, And Up fromn the racky steep, There rose a cry ta the gate of heaven, 'Rejaice I have found My sheep!' And the angels echoed around the throne, 'Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His awn.' Amen. E. C. Clephane, 1830-1869. The first verse was finished; he next thaught "cauld ho mepeat it,"I but the sang went on ta the cli- max, and almost every eye was maist when he concluded with, "The Angeis echaed amound the throne, Rejoice the Lord bmings back His own." The sang spmang into popularity immediately and was used with great effect in al their meetings and has been a universal favoumite ever since. If you turn, ta number 98 in "The Hymnary" yau wil find an- other vemy beautiful hymn by Elizabeth Clephane, "Beneath the cross of Jesus, I fain would take my stand."
