McArthur, professor of genetics at the University of Toronto recently made this observation: "That marriage produces the most desirable results if the parties possess five similar racial factors. "It is better to go back four or live generations in the f; history to find if there are defects of any type on both sides,' McArthur stated. "Eye, color, height, head shape, face shape and blood group have nothing to do with desirable marriages fertility and compatability are concerned." He advocated Advisory Eugenics Bureaus where persons could submit their family histories to obtain advice on whether their marriage would be successful. HOODS FOR EVENING Little Red Riding Hood's cape came out of the fairy tale woods last week to grace the shoulders of the mannequins of the world's evening style stage in Paris. Mainbocher displayed for 1935 debutantes hiplengfh, double-decker evening capes of tulle net, finished with a hood like Red Riding Hood wore, tied with a ribbon under the chin, to accompany frocks of net. The most admired was one of white net with embroidered pink dots, tied with a pink satin ribbon. Numerous frocks for daytime wear were designed as harem skirts, which,- though not trousered, were shirred and Moused at the hemline. VITAMIN FACIAL These cold, winter days create havoc with our complexions, therefore I was delighted with the results of the following facial. Try it yourself. "It is an easy matter for any woman to make up an egg-facial at home, as and when required, says a writer in New Health. It would also be easy to add a little cod-liver oil to this egg facial, for, in spite of the smell of the oil which is rather disagreeable, this oil is a rich source of vitamin D. Thus could the skin be subjected to the rejuvenating action of a freshly made preparation of lecithin and vitamin D. One egg is broken and the white whisked up with the yolk. The skin is well washed with soap and warm water, and, after being well dried in the usual way, a little lanoline cream rendered thin by mixing with a little almond oil, is gently massaged into the skin. After half an hour, the surplus grease is wiped off. Then the skin is ready to receive the egg facial already made. This may be applied on lint or massaged into the face and left to dry. This egg, when dry, will feel Tike a face pack, and should be re-moved by means of hot water,.after it has been on for an hour. Dry the face in the usual manner, fub over it a flat piece of ice wrapped in a tine handkerchief, and filially dry. -for the muscles of the face.'*] Of course, in the above facial, we tity of vitamin D, but by the action 0 ful to one egg--the v notice need be tak&fc; . all washed oft at trrrt Kven today, in the Qri class of people are foupd gath about places of worship.'

"But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none." It is perfectly evident that having all things common had not enriched Peter and John. "But what 1 have, that give I thee.

"At that which had happened unto him." Finally, as a consequence of this miracle, a great multitude of Jews, as would be exected, crowded together to learn more of what had been rumored about, in Solomo'n's Porch, which "derived its name from Solomon, and was (possibly) the only remnant of his temple. It was situated on the eastern side of the temple, and so was sometimes called the Eastern Cloister, and from its position it was a favorite resort.

The council are fitly called the builders, for on them-depended the whole religious and civil government of the people. St. Peter, with his mind now enlightened to apply the Scriptures, uses the words of the Psf.lmist (118: 22) as spoken prophetically of Christ. Christ had already (Matt. 21: 42) applied these words to himself and to the way in which he was being rejected of the Jews, in the close of Here is a Canadian playe the English goal post in a g; Switzerland.

Gabb, who every December 31 posts to the Times letter which duly appears on the first day of the New Year. Mr. Gabb's interest is with mortality statistics -- or, rather, longevity figures. For twenty years he has contributed an annual review of- the deaths of nonagenarians and centenarians recorded in the Times. For example, in his latest survey, which I have just been reading, he reveals that in 1934 the deaths of "460 persons 90 years old and ders) and 33 women. Of the latter, 207 were married." This total number is slightly below that of 1933, when the number of such deaths so recorded was 475, but considerably higher than the yearly average for the twenty-year period, which is 365. The deaths of eleven centenarians were duly recorded on- the Times' front page in 19C-1; only one of The death of the Turk, Zara Agha, was undoubtedly the high spot in the records of any man interested as deeply as Mr. Gabb must be in longevity figures. He says as much. He recalls that in 1930 he wrote: "Maybe if I live long enough Zara Agha, he being really dead, may come into some future review." . . . And now he is able to write: "The Turk is now as dead as a door nail, as "The1 Christmas Carol' has it, and I am, | the Saints be praised, still alive, ;ace to his ashes."
