No.-wonder, then, that Sir Robert him- self, writing to a Canadian Scout master who had apparently got off tite track in this and one or two other matters, said as follows: "I am delighted to hear of the suc- : ul progress of your Troop and of the efficiency and keenness of your A : ' "Give them my warmest good wishes and tell them that I shall be very in- terested from tims to time to hear of 'thelr progress in camping and back: ( ip, though I am afraid I take no interest in bands, nor do I see "bbw it is possible for twenty boys to biave earned thelr First-Class Badge In less than two years' service at least.

On the whole, I think women are more frightened of*their own company + BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat Crescent, Toronto. A direct plain message to the pub- lic often. carries weight when more elaborate methods o Joblicity fail. Simple statements tersely told, strike the imagination. "Hygiene can prevent more crimes than any law," is one of these. Why is this message effective. Be- cause it stimulates thought, and when once the public begin to think serious- ly about any subject, that subject be- comes a topic of interest, the news: papers get hold of it and many avenues of publicity result in conse- quence. Many a man or woman on reading the remark, "Hygiene will prevent more crimes than any law," will be tempted to ask what the word hygiene means, A good opening for education results, for "hygiene" is very compre- hensive and includes both sonal every- thing that promotes this well-being. In some way and by some manner we have git to get health messages across to the average, ordinary man or woman. The, reason for this is lain, There are so: many. people his kind. There are a few highbrows und a few house-breakers and auto- mobile thieves, once in a while a des- perado who will not even: stop at murder, but the great. juajerity of Jeople we come in contact with fro ay to day are just plain ordinary people wi an average amount of common sense. Many of these go.d people "come from Missouri," that is, they have got to be shown. Some cir- cumstances or experiences in their lives have pérua ression that little of d can be one-by hygiene or all that it repre- sents. » If you can prove to them that they are wrong--not by preaching soon become facts, they will your | friends and supporters in the good health crusade. given them the im- long-winded sermons, but by a few ters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadina I was talking to a Toronto alderman Ia few days ago and he thought people | were just as: healthy before any o 'these up-to-date methods of public | health propaganda were introduced. ! It seems strange that an alderman {should say this with the record of | the Toronto Health Department so, obvious to everyone. hy, the in- fant mortality rate alone has been cut in half in Toronto during the past ten | years. Typhoid fever has been prac- i tically abolished, communicable dis- eases have been very much reduced in numbers, and the milk supply is practically all pasteurized. The gen- .eral surroundings have from a health "standpoint been very much improved and yet one of the aldermen does not think that much has been done. He i does not know what is going on in health work. Education along health {lines is what he needs, and as soon as the becomes acquainted with the work and aims of the health department he jwill be a far more useful servant of {the people. = How can hygiene prevent more 'crimes than any law? Because it 'raises the standard of citizenship, It {removes as far as possible those in- (fluences and circumstances that lead 'to a low state of moral conscience; it makes people more nearly normal and hence not so likely to commit crimes "against society. | Nearly every criminal examined {has had little. or no training from a hygienic standpoint. Their upbring- 'ing has been at fault, They have not had the advantages of discipline in the 'home; they have grown up like weeds and developed bad habits and a bad | outlook on life. Hygiene tends to remove all influ- ences that will prevent a man or wo- iman from leading a normal, healthy life. It is one of the finest words in the alphabet. Engine Driven by Sun's Rays. The sun's rays are used to generate power in a miniature engine which was the subject of a recent demon- stration fn the' United States. A parabolic copper mirror focused the rays on a test tube of water, the heat causing steam, which in turn operated the tiny engine at a high rate of speed. Mr. Bernard Grossman, the inventor, said that his invention could be used 14 to provide light, heat, and power, or to operate motor trucks, "Coal," he added, "will before very long be considered something which 'merely cutters up the cellar "Every community will have its > | heat-canning plant, where the sun rays rwill be caught and concentrated. The millions of units of energy from the sun which we now waste, while we i continue to drain the earth of its oil and coal, will be put to use.' ie ait MONEY ORDERS.

"What a funny little girl you are," an aunt of mine once said to a little niece who seemed to show.a decided prefer ence for her own company. And that is the trend of opinion invariably. You are deemed morbid if you like to be alone. Yet how much more morbid you are if you do not like to be alone sometimes; if you are really bored with yourself; frightened of your own company. If your are constantly with people and do not like to be alone on occa- sions, then it is interesting and profit- able to inquire into the reason. What do you think about when you are alone? Yourself? Other people? Ab- stract things? Cultivate your own company if you have not already done so; for those who truly love solitude however friend- less and unbeloved they may be, will never know the ache of loneliness.

The business was started during the Great War, wlien a little Italian girl, Baby Scavini, begged her mother to buy her a doll such as the other little an artist, was away soldering, and the mother had no money to buy a doll. She would have made any sacrifice to doll of the conventional toy-shop type was out of the question. So, Love put on {ts thinking cap and solved the problem, The young mother was an art stu- dent, and had ideas. She picked up bits of felt, and out of them made a new sort of doll. Then she painted its face and dressed it gafly in fancy clothes. Her little daughter was delighted, and | when she went out in tte park to play, | her playmates who had expensive, fashionably dressed dolls, admired hers so mugh that they begged their mothers to buy them one just like it. | The result was that ordens for dolls poured in so fast on Mrs. Scavini, she very scon had more than she could fill. | At the close of the war when her | painter husband returned to their home in Turin he, with other artists, | began to help her, painting the dolls and designing new figures. The business grew and grew until, as the New York Times told the story, "the dolls began to appear in the win- dows of Italy's leading stores and in| Paris on the Rue de la Paix. Then they spread to South America and to New York's Fifth Avenue, where they stare out of the window with the same nonchalance as In Italy and France, where the Lenci doll, as they are called, is often seen reclining on a sdfa or in a corner of a lady's motor car beside her high-bred dog. To-day there are more than 100 dif- ferent figures, the faces all painted by well-known artists and all varying in expression, but all the dolls are un- breakable entirely made of felt, with fluffy hair and unusual clothes. The Lenci doll is now seriously considered Italy's important contribution to the are of toymaking. Love never fails. It always finds a way to help us over rough roads.
