Although there is only a single bloodstream, one twin sleeps while the other is awake. The twin girls are being studied in the clinic of Professor Speransky who reported to the Gorki Institute of Experimental Medicine. Air Injection Relieves Pain Injection of air into muscles to relieve chronic pain was demonstrated in the scientific exhibits of the American Medical Association convention at San Francisco. The air goes in through a hypodermic needle and lubricates the spaces along which one bunch of muscles slides over another. The Chinese originated this air grease thousands of years ago, but the modern discoveries demonstrated have resulted in finding virtually a new field in human anatomy and new explanations of causes of Dangers of air injection by unskilled persons, however, are very Mustard Gas and Bronchitis Mustard gas, which causes one of the most horrible deaths in modern warfare, was pictured as a foremost aid to medical science in the cure of respiratory diseases. The paradoxical disclosure was made at Philadelphia before the International Hahnemannian Association by Dr. K. A. McLaren of Toronto. The idea of the remedy was born of the homeopathic philosophy of "curing like with like". In its free state the gas causes septic bronchopneumonia. But an infinitesmal dose--one part of gas diluted in 1,000,000 parts of water--has relieved ailments of the respiratory tract in 10 experimental cases, Dr. McLaren said. . He said the dilution was effective against bronchial pneumonia, bronchitis, loss of voice and labored breathing. Atomic Nitrogen In Upper Air A discovery that atomic nitro-get is one of the constituents of the upper atmosphere and identified with light in the night sky was disclosed at Los Angeles last week. 1 Building, To- S INTERESTED tario^ Weekly Ne ...Gardening Notes... WHEN YOU'RE ON HOLIDAY You needn't find a "wilderness" awaiting you when you come home again after the holidays. It's just a case of putting in a little quiet preparation during the week before you go. The weeds which, given the chance, grow at ' an incredible rate as soon as your back is turned won't get that chance if you hoe every bare inch of every flower bed. The lawn won't look like a hay-field if the mower is run over it the very last thing, the edges at the same time being trimmed extra close. And the border--cut off every shabby leaf, every spent bloom, every bloom that is nearly spent, every seed pod, and it will wel->me with a blaze of Clip Ther CIos Be particularly ruthless with carnations, roses and sweet peas. With these take off every bloom or nearly-opened bud that shows. That means some lovely parting-gift bouquets for neighbors. A viola and pansy tip. Take your big scissors and clip to plants .close as a shorn lamb. Horrible they'll look but a fortnight will see them as gay as can be. Water the House Plants Can you get a friend to pop in and water the house plants. No? Well, here's the alternative; stand them in the scullery sink, put some large bowls of water among them, lead strands of thick worsted from the bowls into the soil in the pots. The plants then siphon up their supplies through the worsted. Another plan is to stand the plants in washing baths and pack soaking-wet sawdust all around the pots. The latter scheme is good with greenhouse plants as well. FRAGRANT GERANIUMS Those who have never grown the fragrant-leaved geraniums have missed one of the real pleasures of gardening. Although often bearing a fragrance similar to other plants--lemon, apple, mint, nutmeg--they have a charm all their own. Our grandmothers grew many of them, and, although they were neglected for a time, we are again learning to appreciate them. The flowers of these geraniums, which are really pelargoniums, are not as large and showy as those of the common geranium. The flowers of most of them are white or pale pink, often veined a deeper pink. Viewed closely, 'they are quite pretty. But it is for their foliage that these geraniums are grown. The leaves of the different species vary greatly in form, size and texture, but all have a spicy fragrance when rubbed. ITCH ...STOPPED IN A MINUTE .. .

Clear, greaseless and stainless-- a it--or Money bade Dr. Joseph M. Kaplan, associate professor of physics at the University of California, and distinguished for his discoveries in connection with the Aurora Borea-lis, found proof of existence of atomic nitrogen in a study of ultra violet light bands. In his laboratory he produced a new spectrum line in the ultra violet region at exactly the theoretically predicted for length This line the spectra had been observed of the night sky, Auror and of comets. Thus atomic nitrogen was added to the known components of the upper atmosphere which are atomic oxygen, ozone, cyanogen and sodium. Mechanical Heart "Breathes" The mechanical heart which Col. Charles A .Lindbergh built to keep organs alive outside the body has "learned" how to breathe, Dr. Richard Bing, of the Department of Surgery of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, reports. The breathing of the Lindbergh heart as Dr. Bing describes it is a simplified version of the human breathing system. Bodies take in oxygen through the lungs. In the lining of the lungs the oxygen is taken up into the blood, where it is combined with other substances to form hemoglobin, meoycyanin and other pigments which color the blood stream. The blood vessels carry these substances through the body until they reach the tissues, where the oxygen is taken out and used. In the mechanical heart, the lung function of the body's breathing is eliminated, the heart being fed oxygen which had already been dissolved. You cannot name an outstanding, permanent success today that is not the direct result of the 'mule nature in man to pull a big load over a long, long trail.

Eight Foreign Countries To Show At Fair Eight foreign countries desire to show their wares at the Canadian National Exhibition this year and six of them, Finland, Italy, Czecho-Slovakia, Germany, Poland and The Netherlands have engaged space, which is a new record for foreign representation. Dr. Guerra, Portugal's consul in Canada, expects the approval of his government within the next few days. Cal J. Printz of this city, consul for Norway, also applied on behalf of his country but lack of space and other considerations will prevent the Norsemen showing. The International Pavilion is crowded almost to capacity. European countries have become fully awake to the inviting reciprocal market offered by Canada. Individual Companies Show The Italian exhibit is not under the official sponsorship of the Mussolini Government but rather under the auspices of Count Guido Colonna di Paliano, royal vice-consul of Italy in Toronto. Consul-General Jan Pawlica of Poland, has notified General Manager Elwood A. Hughes of the Exhibition that not less than 75 Polish firms will have displays in the International Pavilion. The Netherlands will be represented by thirty companies. The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY INVISIBLE WEAPONS By John Rohde Here's an English mystery with plenty of speed and more than the usual amount of suspense. It keeps you reading right up to the last page to find out just how Dr. Priestley, the scientific sleuth, unravels the baffling how's and why's. Inspector Jimmy Waghorn and Superintendent Hanslet always take Dr. ^Priestley their hardest problems, and he never fails to solve them with a series of brilliant thought waves. He's a liberal education in how to deduct. In fact, if Dr. Priestley isn't a genuine great thinker, we don't know where you'd find one. Here Dr. Priestley occupies himself with the singular end of Rob-ern Fransham, found dead in the cloakroom while visiting Dr. Cyril Thornborough, of Adderminster. It's a blunt instrument case, and for a time^things look black for Dr. Thornborough, whose wife (niece of the deceased) is sole legatee under the will. Or could the killer be Alfie Prince, a local pest afflicted with claustrophobia? Dr. Priestley hits his stride when a second murder occurs, lending new interest to the proceedings and stimulating the detective's higher mental centres to a really prodigious degree. The man is uncanny. The Man's Uncanny Following are just a few of the questions posed by Mr. Rhode: Who bought Alfie Prince's old overcoat near Weaver's Bridge? Is Alfie hypnotized, too? . What about the plasticine joint in the brick wall? Where is the missile, and what was it? Where was Francis Willingdon at a quarter past one? Did Dr. Thornborough write the note inviting Uncle Bob to lunch, or is it a forgery? Did Coates, the chauffeur, see anybody in the carriageway just before the first killer, or didn't he?

Planned Fitness In Other Countries No. 3 (By W. D. E. Donaldson, B. S. A., B. Paed., O.D., Parkwood Collegiate, Toronto.) How much influence any one country has had on the rest of the world in the matter of the physical training of youth is difficult to ascertain but no one can deny that among the leaders stand Germany, Czechoslovagia and Denmark, Each of these countries has raised the standard of physical health to a point unsurpassed in the history of modern times and each has an organization peculiar to itself. Czechoslovakia Czechoslovakia has no central control but several voluntary organizations. The largest and most truly national is the Sokol Gymnastic Association which celebrates the tenth "Slet" in 1938. At present the adult membership is eight-hundred thousand, comprising thirteen hundred units which own their own gymnasiums and athletic fields. To maintain the high standard of physical, fitness which has been the ideal since the foundation of the "Sokol" in 1862, every member under the age of twenty-four years must participate in the weekly gymnastic program. Sexennial Slet The national festival or Slet, held every six years in the capital city, Praha, formerly Prague, is probably the most colorful, inspiring, and soul-stirring exhibition that anyone could see. At the last Slet in 1932, the boys from six to fourteen years of age were represented by a picked group of fifteen thousand. The girls of the same ages performed in equally large numbers. The adolescent youth, fourteen to eighteen years, marched in, seventeen thousand boys and seventeen thousand girls. The adult Sokols filled the huge stadium with twenty thousand men and a similar group of women. These numbers indicate the scope of the Sokol Association. The name, Sokol, which means the emblem of the Association, a device derived from a falcon feather, is itself inspiring. Sokol Slogans The ideals of the Sokol are represented by their slogans which when translated from the Czechoslovakian language lose much of their "color" but do show why the Sokol is the strongest voluntary and most democratic Gymnastic Association in the world. Some of these slogans are: 1. A sound mind in a sound 2. No persona! reward or glorification. 3. Surmount your obstacles if you can, break them down if you must, but never give in. Denmark--Niels Bukh While there is no national festival, the attention of the world has been effectively focussed on Denmark through the personality of Niels Bukh. His tour around the world in 1930, the numerous exhibitions in many countries since, the outstanding acclaim received at the Olympic Games in 1936, and his tour through Poland in 1937 have made his name and the name of Denmark synonymous with physical fitness and perfection of form. No country has had a greater influence on current practice in Canada than has Denmark. The Maritimes, Ontario, and British Columbia are all using Danish methods for girls, boys, and adults. The Future To assess the precise value of the programs in Germany, Czechoslovakia and Denmark on the health and physical fitness of the respective nations was not found possible by the British committee on physical education but there was no doubt as to their general value. In these three' "countries physical fitness on a national scale has been both the ideal and the practice for over half a century. Great Britain has had a national scheme operating for less How long is Ontario, how long is Canada going to allow, nay to force our youth to grope in the acamedic fog of books and examinations in our schools? When . will national fitness replace the growing professionalism of athletics for adults? The physical fitness of the youth and adult across the Atlantic is a challenge to every democratic Canadian, first to emulate, then to equal and finally perhaps to return some of the inspiration which is so freely offered to us. irtSTIFFNESSl 9 34 You'll soon limber up ! jB Issue No. 28--'38
