Ottawa, while Premier Macken- zie King and his colleaugues are overseas. Canadian and German repre- sentatives are trying to get to- gether on a trade treaty. Ger- many wants nickel, asbestos, wheat and other raw materials; she wants to sell finished manu- factured goods, of iron and steel largely, to Canada. There are several obstacles. Canada feels that she can sell all her nickel, asbestos, wheat, at the moment, without much effort. The market in Canada for external manufac- tured articles is not unlimited, and there is the renewal of the British argreement to think over. Also the United States treaty, and the psoition of the Canadian manufacturer. Another problem lies. in the uncertainty of the currency situ- ation. The franc and the lira have been devaluated; the Ger- man mark has not. It is worth 25 cents in Germany, but it costs nearly 40 cents outside to buy. In other, words, if you want to buy a German doll worth a mark you have to pay 40 cents for it. Also you have to pay current du- ties on 40 cents. That makes it easier to buy from countr:es with appreciated currencies; though we have plenty making it difficult to buy from those with deprecia- ted currencies. The Germans would like us to make special provision. But the situation is so uncertain that by the time that was done, the mark might have followed the frane and the lira, and come down too.. No doubt Euler will be able to make some compromise which will as- sist German commerce with Can- ada. German Trade Up Canadian trade with Germany for the first six months of 1936 is up 18% in imports and over 50% in exports as compared with the first half of 1935. Most of the gain in Canadian sales to Ger- many consists of metals and ores (principally nickel), raw wool, sausage casings and lumber. A slight increase has been reported nearly become self-sufficient in wheat of recent years that our market there is not what it was once. Dr. G. H. Barton, deputy minis- ter of agriculture, and Dr. J. H. Grisdale, former minister, are both in Britain. While there they will check up some aspects of the information obtained by Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Argi- culture, regarding the British market for Canadian products. You remember that $300,000 was voted to assist in the marketing of Canadian agrictulral products abroad, and on the basis of the reports brought back by Messrs. Barton and Grisdale, a new mar- keting organization will be set up. It will have two principal obiects, one, to study more close- ly the needs of Britain and other customers and, two, to maintain a closer check on the quality of Canadian farm products going abroad. i isa ' Plans to Employ Youth Meantime the National Em- ployment Commission is busy. The chairman of the Youth Em- ployment Committee has submit- ted detailed plans to the head of the Commission for the employ- ment of several thousand young Canadians at once in forestry, mining, agriculture and aviation. These will go, if approved, to the Minister of Labor and thence to the cabinet for sanction of the necessary expenditure. Then the department of labor will create an administrative body to get the program under way. They will have to make good time if they are going to get anywhere before the dead of winter. . The Women's Employment Committee is to, grapple with the problem of finding work for the unemployed women. A gcod deal of preliminary surveying has been done already by Mrs. Mary McCallum Sutherland, the lady member of the commission. She had been from coast to coast since her appointment studying ways girls and women out of work. Many suggestions have come for- ward for the absorption of men into employment, state or pri- vate, but very, very few for the women. The most promising project at the moment is the opening of a number of schools for the training of domestic ser- vants. There is a much larger and means of assisting] ~ demand for first class domestics A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES 'N CANADA PRE-NATAL CARE The importance of pre-natal care has been recognized for ages but it was not till 1900 that it was organized on a wide and scientific basis by Dr. Ballantyne of Edinburgh, who received from a friend, a legacy of £1000 for this great purpose. The little pre-natal ward which he established in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary had a garden and D;. Ballantyne's plans were most kind, enlightened and successful. We have learned since then that every expectant mother should have pre-natal care to keep her well, to prepare her for a sate and comfortable pregnancy and a suc- cessful delivery. The way to get this necessary care is for the ex- pectant mother to go to see her doctor as soon as she knows that she is to be a mothe,r and be guided by his advice. Of course the family physician is the one to whom the Mother goes and if she and her husband have not chosen a family physi- cian then they should choose one without delay. Do not think, be- cause the birth will not take place for a few months, that there is plenty of time. for it is important to have the That is not true,) complex and wonderful and im- portant beyond words.

But how does she know what to do, unless she has |the best of medical advice and care ?--and the doctor is the only one who can give her, that. | People should be very careful in choosing a doctor. It is 'most important. Choose a doctor whom |people trust and respect, who has had some experience, who is de- voted to his work and of whom other doctors speak well. Young |doctors nowadays are generally ivery good, well-trained and care- ful. It is well to arrange with | the doctor for care during all the months before the birth and until the mother is recovered and able |to be up again. The doctor will probably arrange with the mother to come to see him every month for the first seven months and then twice a month or oftener for the rest of the time. He will tell the mother when to bring a speci- men of the water she passes and iwill give her all the necessary ad- vice and directions and help, and ,make the necessary examinations at the right time. It is usually 'the best plan to arrange for a reasonable fee to cover medical 'care during the whole time, in- cluding the time of birth and for a short time afterwards. But if, for any reason, the pros- pective father is not in a position in many parts of Canada than the| current supply. There is, how- ever, a glut of teachers, nurses, stenographers and other profes- sional or semi - professional groups. It is difficult to know just how serious is the problem of the unemployed woman, be- cause few of them are being counted in the national registra- tion. They live mostly at home and are not officially on relief. A new electric lighter for desk or table use is so designed that pipes can be lighted with it right down to bowl bottom.

No, an hold your camera level. NE of the satisfactions of ama- teur photography is that Lady Luck will so often play you the kindest of tricks. Much oftener than shooting an arrow aimlessly and hit- ting the mark, you may shoot a pic- ture without precaution or thinking of focus, exposure time or diaphragm opening, and, nevertheless, when the negative is developed, find that you have obtained in all respects a good photograph. Dumb luck it is, really, but a tribute also to the capability of modern photographic equipment. Modern cameras and films allow so much latitude for careless and inex- pert use that, while they are not robots in their performance, they do cover up a lot of picturetaking sins. Fortunate as that may be, it is certain that the amateur who de- pends on luck entirely will get many poor pictures and waste a lot of film. There are some sins which he can- not commit with impunity. Here they are: 1. Tipping the camera with the re- sult that in the picture buildings appear to be toppling, and rivers run uphill or downhill. 2. Allowing the camera to move as the shutter is snapped, or jerking the shutter release under the im- pression that it can thus be made to move faster. Result: blurred picture. 3. Dirty or misty lens. Result: 4, Letting the finger tip slip over the edge of the lens. Result: silhou- ette of finger tip. 5. Giving a time exposure with- out resting the camera on some firm support. Result: blurred pic- ture. (A shaky fence is not good for a time exposure, neither is the hood of an automobile when the en- gine is running.) 6. Trying to take a snapshot after a time or bulb exposure without re- adjusting the shutter. Result: a much jumbled up image or perhaps no picture at all. 7. Forgetting to turn key that moves the film. Result: jumble of two pictures on one negative. 8. In focusing, wrongly estimat- ing the distance between camera and subject. Result: fuzziness. 9. With fixed focus cameras, tak- ing pictures of subjects nearer than 8 or 10 feet without a portrait at- tachment. Result: blurred, out-of- focus image. 10. Using a large stop for distant views. Result: loss of distant detail. 11. Attempting broadside shots of movement too rapid for the shutter. Result: blur. (Moving objects can be "stopped" by an ordinary camera if the picture is taken from an angle and not too close.) Yes, even in photography, brother, your sins will find you out. picture hazy, indistinct. 101 JOHN VAN GUILDER.
