Population Falls Canada's population, unless some unknown impetus intervenes, will probably show a falling off in the next census. There is a great decrease decrease in migration from outside and the natural increase is lower than usual. Statistics at Ottawa show a trend towards decrease in population. Births registered in 67 cities and towns of Canada having 10,000 population population and over during the first three months of the current year number 19,334, deaths 15,067 and marriages 6,458 as against 20,169 births, 13,613 deaths and 6,146 marriages, marriages, during the corresponding period period last year. Meantime more have left Canada than have come in for some years past. Continued evident of the practical practical value of the Boy Scout training training has recently brought the gift of Headquarters Building to Scouts in three Ontario towns. A new clubhouse for the Scouts of Parry Sound'was recently recently opened by His Worship Mayor Jackson and members of the town council, the building in Agricultura Park having been given the Scouts by the Council. At Sarnia Mrs. W. J. Hanna presented a frame building at Elgin Street for use as a Headquarters Headquarters for the Local Boy Scouts Association. Association. to be known as Coronation Hall. At Tillsonburg the Bell Telephone Company were the donors of a building building on the condition that the Scouts removed it to a site given by Miss Cora Anderson. The structure was frame, with a brick veneer. The thrifty Scouts negotiated a sale of the bricks, and at once began stripping them off.

Four Cylinder Wins For the fourth year Ira succession, a car powered by a four cylinder engine won the American racing classic at Indianapolis, at the rate of 113.588 miles per hour for the 500 miles. The second winning car In this race was similarly powered: the third ear had an eight cylinder engine. The real importance of. these wins is the stamina stamina and durability over the competing six and eight cylinder cars. These qualities can be readily seen when the Wiilys 37 engine is studied against other engines of similar capacity Lake Freighters Being Built The distinctive type of 600-foot bulk freighter was Introduced in 1906 for the purpose that it was necessary to ship an enormous volume of freight as cheaply as possible . . .

Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard College, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Addressing the members of Barnard's Barnard's 1937 graduating class Dean Gildersleeve mentioned social training, training, vocational guidance and even the development of poise and man- ners as relatively new functions of the college. Such a procedure, she said, made modern education for women women an expensive process. „ "I '! as , peaking to the parents particular^ " Dean Gildersleeve said, and therefore I thought it might F ™ terest to Point out to them that colleges have taken over duties of parents- to a very considerable ex- tent during recent years in response parfly to a popular demand.

KENNEDY & MENTON # College St., * A Calgary commercial radio station tabulated its fan mail, found that in 3,000, letters forty per cent, of the customers expressed the opinion that cowboy singing, was the ultimate in wireless entertainment; thirty per cent, wanted "swing" and jazz music, fewer than one per cent, wanted classical classical music and the remainder sought musical comedy, notes the Ottawa Journal. Such a poll means nothing, we are sure, as a guide to the public taste or the public preferences in radio fare. What happens, apparently, is that those who are devoted to the lighter expressions of the broadcaster's arts --the lamentations of stage cowboys, the jazz orchestras and such--hasten to take pen in hand. For the most part they will be the younger listeners, listeners, and the more enthusiastic over their likes. But it must be true that in, the background are hosts of people to whom cowboy songs and the average jazz are merely dismal noises, who want something better of their radio, but are not sufficiently interested to write letters about the question. But the letters of listeners are, after after all, the only guide given a commercial commercial station in its programs, and it is not difficult to understand why the more vociferous patrons get more than their share of the output. If those who prefer chamber music and symphony orchestras make a deep secret of it,, they may have to put up with programs they consider abominable abominable but which are founded on the only available expression of public preference. Fortunately the program-directors of-the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation! Corporation! are in a different position. They can balance their broadcasts, and are able to give adequate attention to the fiiore literate class of their listeners. That is one of the great virtues of the British and Canadian system.

The purified insulin is dissolved and * sterilized in a gold-plated filter which prevents a metallic contamination. The potency of the insulin solution is measured by the reactions of rabbits rabbits and mice inoculated with it. Still more tests follow and the in- j: sulin is passed upon by a committee where the tests are duplicated. Bulk insulin is diluted to the desired strength and the solution is again filtered and assayed. It is then filled into hard glass vials, tested for sterility sterility once more and is finally ready for distribution. Classified Advertising - AGENTS wanted W®, f.
