Ric -IX MILES NORTH Hear Modern Music At C. N. Exhibition it : be i ;ting t at the Canadian National Exhibition to compare the ultra modern rhythmic arrangements of popular and folk dance music as exemplified by the leading dance orchestras, with the music of the band of the Royal Artillery from England with their more conventional interpretations of musical themes. There will be an unique opportunity to do this as three of the outstanding U. S. dance aggregations will be present at the new open air Dance Pavilion this year -- Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians and the Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman VENOM MAY BE CURE The poisonous venoms of bees, lizards, salamanders and the deadly rattlesnake and cobra were declared to offer new hope to sufferers from palsy, paralysis, spinal-cord injuries and other painful nerve disturbances. The use of insect and reptile poisons to treat the pain which results from cancer and other malignant diseases is not new. Dr. M. B. Greene, of New York, declared in a report to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, but the method of using them to "block off" individual sets of ner HILLS OF OCEAN WATER Hills of water exist in the Paci-." fic Ocean, according to Howard W. Blakeslee, the Associated Press science editor, quoting Dr. R. H. Fleming of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California. The greatest hill centres around" the Hawaiian Islands. The water there is a little more than three; feet higher than at the Aleutian Islands, 2,000 miles south. Dr. Leonard G. Rowntree, director of the Philadelphia Institute for Medical Research, investigating the affects of the thymus gland, has found that the mother passes on to her child the factor that controls the rate of growth, and that the father's contribution is nil. Earlier experiments by Dr. Rowntree demonstrated that effects of gland treatment can be passed on from one generation to* the next. In these experiments he treated both parents. Continuing' theexperiment with the same line of animals, he omitted the glandular treatments to the father and found that treatments given to the mother alone produce the same effects as were observed when both parents were treated. This discovery is important in the study of heredity. It has been generally believed that all the physical characteristics possessed by an individual are the joint contribution of both parents and of their line of ancestors, and that these characteristics are in the chromosomes, tin tures in the nucleus of the germ cell. MIRACLE OF METAMORPHOSIS A winged chrysalis, a new insect, half chrysalis and half butterfly, has come from the biological test tubes of Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. With head and wings of a butterfly but the body of a chrysalis, this strange creature arises from discovery of what causes the summer miracle of metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies. The discovery was made by Dietrich Bodenstein, research assistant in the school of biology. The cause is a chemical in the chrysalis' head. The chemical acts like a hormone, the ductless gland secretions which "make a man what he is." Bodenstein says the metamorphosis chemical may be hormone, It travels through the chrysalis' ...Gardening Notes... WORK NEVER FINISHED The gardener's work never is finished. No sooner has a plant developed than every effort must be made to maintain it at the peak for as long as the natural limitations of the species permit. At that time more than ever, skill, the practical application of knowing how, is the determining factor in success. Fortunately there are many locations where the gorgeous flower-laden spikes will develop to perfection even with little care. The object then is to insure continued success. This calls for close attention to the needs of the plants, since insect and plant diseases ever are lurking to destroy them. The food balance of the soil also is likely to be disturbed. FEEDING IN SUMMER The feeding of garden plants during summer usually is referred to as top dressing because the plant £ood or fertilizer cannot be forked deeply into the soil now without causing considerable harm to many roots. Never apply any fertilizer or plant food while the soil is dry. Always give good watering and, after the surface moisture has drained away, apply the food or fertilizer to the soil around the plants. Keep it away from all parts of the plants, including the base of the stem, since many kinds, particularly the highly concentrated fertilizers, exert a caustic action on plant tissues. Hoe the material lightly into the soil surface and give prolonged watering to dissolve the food and carry it down to the roots. READY FOR FLOWER SHOWS Now is the time to apply light feeding to plants of all kinds that are being grown for the fall flower shows. Regardless of the type of plant-food, it will be found a good practice to spread it over several feedings rather than one heavy application. Needless to say, the ideal time to feed any agrden is just before a rain, or, if artificial irrigation is present, to water the food in immediately after applying. If you must use elements high in nitrogen, go easy, for hot weather and nitrogen often will upet your best calculations. Well balanced foods are safer at this season and will return the greatest dividends. Only experienced gardeners succeed in applying single elements to their plants and they often find the vagaries of nature upsetting their plans. skin. Discovery of this mechanism opens new angles of investigation into the biological secrets of all animals. HELIUM HELPS ASTHMA Successful use of helium in relieving a large proportion of chronic asthma cases treated with the gas was described last week by the United States Public Health Service. An approximate four-to-one mixture of helium and oxygen gases, administered in a specially devised hood tent, the statement said, has given patients very favorable relief. Although not proposed as a cure for asthma, helium is now prescribed where an effective ventilation of the lungs, as least effort to the patient, is necessary to end severe asthma which no longer responds to "adrenalin treatment." It has even been found useful in terminating certain cases of severe asthma.

The Train of Life I used to sit, when I was small, ipejn the grass beside a wall , Vhere tangled vines and roses grew, To see the nine-fifteen go through.

It thrilled me with a keen delight To see the last coach fade from sight; What pleasant scenes my fancy Of lands the nine-fifteen went through.

Millions of Pounds Imported Yearly from Texas; But Remarkable New Chlorine Process, Just Perfected, Means That Canada Will Have Profitable Sulphur Industry of Her Own. To the average person, the mention of sulphur usually conjures up the memory of that particularly obnoxious tonic which, in youth, marked the advent of Spring. But, to the chemical engineer, sulphur represents one of the most useful and interesting raw materials offered to man by Mother Nature. In fact, it is practically impossible to look about city, town or village without seeing some useful commodity in the manufacture of which sulphur has played an important The textile processing industry, it is authoritatively estimated, used 22,400 tons of sulphur during 1937. And, if you're wearing rayon, you are wearing something that sulphur-helped to make. Last year, the rayon industry used 76,000 tons of sulphur in addition to many thousand tons of carbon bisulphide and sulphur chloride. In Car Manufacture Sulphur also contributes to your motoring comfort and safety. About 35 pounds of sulphur, in one form or another, are required in the manufacture of a car. The rubber-in the tires usually is compounded with 2% by weight of sulphur. Hard rubber moulded products contain about 40% by weight of sulphur. Agriculture owes much to sulphur, for immense amounts of sul- :ture of chemical fertilizers, -ast year, over 457,000,000 pounds sulphur were impor:ed fvox Tex-a very large percentage of which nt to our own pulp and paper tnts, because, next to pnlp wood elf, sulphur is probably the most iential r .'ndus Thos« represent : '.'.•00,000 :;f dol- Essential Raw Materia. What a market to have for ourselves! And we are going to have it in the near future. Nature hasn't given us sulphur to be dug or forced out by super heated watef, as in Texas; but the ingenuity of our chemists has produced a new process for breaking pyrite into its two main constituents, sulphur and iron, quickly, easily and cheaply. This process is considered by experts to be the greatest metallurgical achievement for Canada since Consolidated Smelters invented the new process for separating zinc-srlver-Iead ores. On the face of things, Canada seems certain of her own sulphur industry in the near future, an industry singularly favored in that it is assured of a 24-hour-a-day demand for its product, before the first sulphur plant has ever been built. ^Scratching // RELIEVE Itching Insect Bites lpt«'° fo't iV5' s(u!"'°"° •■< i: lites. aUV ', '" "{( " niicfclv j t ; lit antil GUM-DIPPING is a patented Firestone process not used in any other tire. With it every hundred pounds of cord fabric absorbs eight pounds of rubber and, as a result, every fibre, every cord and every ply in a Firestone tire is coated and insulated with pure rubber to counteract internal heat and friction--the greatest enemy of tire life. Due to this extra process, Firestone Gum-Dipped Cords have 58% longer flexing life. Yet you do not pay one cent more for this extra value.
