John A. Patten, iM.C, M.A., its Literary Superinten- The Popular Report of this worldwide Society, under the caption "Bread," maintains the high level of all past issues. Mr. Patten bases his report on the general principle, "Whether he knows it or not, man is hungry, and that hunger can only be satisfied by heavenly food." With this truth^as guiding principle this little book essays to tell the story of how the Bible Society supplies to needy men and women of many races and languages "the Bread of Life." The headings of the chapters give an indication of the attractive way in which the whole subject is treated: "Bead for the British People;" "Dis tributors of the Bread;" "Bread for the Multitude;" "The Same Bread The Story of Translation;" and "The Price of Bread." The bare outline of these headings is filled out with apposite literary quotations. Including a characteristic line from Rupert Brooke, "The Strong Crust of Friendly Bread." This moving account of the work of the British and Foreign Bible Society throughout the world is written with Four Hundred Years of the Open Bible in English, and all that it has meant and can mean to that race, as its geat background. The romance of the Society's progress since 1804 is never lost sight of, and like a golden thread through the report runs the fundamental idea that the Bible Society's one aim is to place in the hands of men "the Bread of Life." Due acknowledgement is made of the assistance given to the Society by the nations of the British Commonwealth, and Canada and its contribution is given honourable mention. The story of the work is its appeal, and the gifted author very clearly indicates the vivid need of increased resources if the Society is to maintain and extend its worldwide mission. In this Four Hundredth Year of the Open Bible in English, the Society, though still faced with a deficit, seems confident that its appeal will find a response from all vitally interested in the Christian Missionary Enterprise, and in giving to rhe peoples of the world the one Book that can truthfully be described as "the Bread of Life." 72-Year-Old Wounds Get Treated at 100 Victoria, Oct. 16th, 1938.--George Grexton celebrated his one hundredth birthday in a hospital bed to-day, undergoing treatment for bullet wounds suffered seventy-two years ago during the Fenian raids into eastern Canada. A pipe smoker since he was eight. Grexton can find no explanation forx. his longevity. His father lived to 112, his mother to 98. "I never had any illnes sto speak of," said the veteran, who hopes to be released from hospital shortly after further treatment for his old wounds. "I took typhoid once, but that didn't last long. "I never was much of a one for beer though I've taken a little now and "again. A lot of people think I must have been a great beer drinker because of my nose, but. that's because it got frozen often." Grexton, a native of Cartwright Township, Durham County. Ontario, and a "thorough-born Canadian," still enjoys pipe-smoking, which he started at the advice of a doctor. The physician presented young George with half a dozen clay pipes in a final effort to cure him of an obscure form1 of poisoning, which Grexton says began when he swallowed a lizard's egg while drinking from a Vox Nostrae Scholae Bernard Murphy is glad to be back at School, after several weeks' quarantine. A recent issue of "Ken" contains an interesting article entitled "Goodbye, Good Earth," in which is outlined the possibility of growing plants without soil. Professor Fosdick. Professor of Dentistry at North Western University, Chicago, is quoted as saying that he started his tomatoes indoors in chemically treated water and w*en they got too big, he planted the tomato vines outside in his bback-yard. "The soil is bankrupt, but I had to have the room. So I planted therm in this poor soil and fed them with the same chemicals that I had put into the water. The soil is nothing but support for my vines. It is the chemicals that make them grow." In New York, Nathaniel G. Harold cashed in this year--a full month ahead of his soil-loving neighbours-- on a bumper crop of tomatoes grown on 1500 plants in an area of only 60 square feet. It is obvious that there will be a great saving in space. Roots in soil must have a wide reach so that they can get enough food without at the same time robbing their neighbours of the limited supply. Water-grown plants have limitless supply of food and spacing depends only on the light available. Tomatoes have not only been grown in this soilless manner, but also potatoes, cabbage, beans cusumbers, tobacco and flowers, especially bulbs. But the problem of saving space in order to grow bigger crops is not one that concerns the people of this country. Our problem, is a more serious one, that of finding a demand for the abundant food that can be grown in the old-fashioned manner. Countries however with large populations and limited areas. Germany, England. Denmark, are experimenting with soilless fodder. It offers another opportunity for belligerent countries to preserve their se-rf-sufficiency and avoid the necessity and the cost of long transportation. in war-time. With a more intensive farming such as soilless farming suggests. England can devote more space to grazing cattle and thus reduce her huge imports of beef fattened on the broad Argentine prairies.

STRONG Blind Girl Given Sight Disappointed in Faces A girl blind from birth, whose case is reported in Medical Journal was made to see for the first time by an operation. Her bewildered joy in the new found world of light was" tempered by a tragic disappointment over the human faces she saw about her. She had. thought all persons were "beautiful and happy looking faces." This is surely a tribute to the kindness with which she was treated and the care which sheltered her. But is it really a curious mistake? Isn't it one which we all make? At first a child believes that ail persons ire beautiful and happy looking. Then, alas! as we grow older we learn like the blind girl, that even the most beautiful face may not be happy looking, that lines of care and hurt and sorrow come with experience. Evil, too, finds its way into a face and cannot be washed or rouged away. And who, even at peace with himself. looking on the folorn world of to-day with all its cruelties and injustice, could remain haappy looking for long? Yet, after all. the poor girl in her blindness may have been instinctively right. Faces were meant to be beautiful and happy looking. Nature intended them to be and gave us the means to make them so. Perhaps some day they will be.--New York Timfes. Ladies Are Air-Minded In Matter of Clothes According to Trans-Canada Air Lines, this is what the well dressed woman can carry with her on a flying trip without exceeding the excess iy tha baggage regulations: "Suitcase 21% ins. by 16% ins. by 9 ins.; two street dresses, 12 handkerchiefs, jacket, one "pair dinner sandals, evening gown and bag; four pair gloves, six pair hose, lingerie, lightweight dressing gown, one pair mules, nightgown, jewelry case, sewing kit, rubberized toilet kit with cosmetics in lightweight containers." All this, according to T.C.A. offic-, ials, who claim to be versed in such ! fr«m applying thej matters, weighs three pounds less than the 35 pounds of baggage allowed each passenger without charge. Furthermore, they state that a woman can exist for six weeks with such an outfit. Men they complain, are forever carrying too much luggage and are always a problem to air line baggage masters. Response of Crops to Manure That different crops respond in varying measures to the application of manure is a well recognized fact. A knowledge of how they respond is necessary if the most profitable returns are to be obtained from the manure and from the crops in the rotation as a whole. Wihere intertilled crops are grown, they will perhaps show the most profitable response, but where rotations consist of grain and hay the answer to the question is not so obvious. Wlith rotations on heavy clay soils such as are found in Northern Ontario, the results of an experiment at the Dominion Experimental Station at Kapuskasing. Ontario, are very instructive. . Two similar four-year rotations have been running along side each other for thirteen years. Both consist of oats, barley and two years of mixed hay. One has not received any manure or other fertilizer, while the other has been given an application of eight tons of manure to the barley and another eight tons on the aftermath of the first year's hay for the second year of hay. From information gathered on these rotations during thirteen years, it is possible to compare the effect of manure on barley and hay, and the residual effect on oats and hay. A study of the data shows that barley increased 65 per cent and hay 126 per cent in response to direct applications of mlanure, while oats increased 60 per cent and hay 101 per cent from residual effect, that is residual fertility the years following applications. Those comparisons show very clear-hay crops responded in greater degree to manure than did the grain crops, and indicate that the most profitable place for the manure will be on the hay crop. Another experiment that has been running for a shorter time seems to indicate that commercial fertilizers will give as good results on grain as TO THE POINT In an Atlanta school a prize was offered for a story of the fewest words. A colored boy won it: A mule in the backyard lazy and slick, A boy with a pin on the end of a Slips i stick Did You Know That spiders, with very few exceptions, are friends of ours? They help to rid the garden of insect pests. They do not attack us, and may be tamed to take food from our fingers. They are among the most highly devloped artists in their line of endeavour. They have suspension bridges,, trap doors, several grades of exquisite silk. They are baloonists of note and are famous as divers.
