the progress which the Boy Scout Movement has made during its twenty-| three years of existence, fromthe time when Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the Chief Scout, took a small group of boys to camp in England and there coneeived the idea of an International Boys' Movement. There are to-day over two million Scouts covert ractically every coun- try in the wo. all of them under the promise, on tWIe honor, to be a That the training which the Scout Movement gives to the boy is of the highest possible value is evidenced by the following statement made by the Hon. William John Cooper, the U.S. National Commissioner of Education, who states: "Scouting is making effective meth- ods of education which the educational system has long been feeling for but has not succeeded in putting into ef- fect. "The Boy b&couts are leading the way. The schools. are following as rapidly as their cun.bersome machine- ry and their timid conservatism and permit. We ia the schools are slowly adopting the technique and the pro- gramme of Scouting . so wisely con- ceived and so. effectively carried out" Dr. Cooper unalyzes the success of the programme by pointing out that: "Scouting education is a system of giving rather than ;-tting." "Scouting provides a selection of activity fitted to the individual." "Scouting provides a unique plan of vocational exploration calculated to prevent square logs in round holes." "Scouting is a a unique scheme for associating boys with men of char- acter." "Scouting emphasizii the boy rath- or than the curriculum." "Scouting tends to develop creative ability." "Scouting presents its code of ideals mot as a lesson but as a thing to be done. It teaches halpfulness through the daily Good Turn." Do you not think, therefore, that Scouting is just what your boy needs? Lone Scouts throughout Ontario will be very sorry to hea. of the very sad and sudden death f one of their brothers, Lone Scout Ivan Day of Fenelon Falls. Ivan was looking for- ward to taking part in a concert, which the Fenelon Falls Lonies had arranged, and was busy selling tickets for this, when on Monday, October 26, he suddenly collapse' whilst riding a wheel. The funeral took place on October 28th and was.attended by Scoutmas- ter Don. Hutchison of the 2nd Troop, Lone Scout Commissioner John Fur- minger and Assistant Provincial Com- missioner F. C. Irwin, who represent- ed the Lonies of O.t rio and the Boy Scouts Association. Ivan's brother Lonies at Fenelon Falls acted as pall- bearers. Ne would like to express our sympathy to hir parents and family and also to his bro' r Scouts in that town. We hear that the Lone Scouts at Markham are to hold a special meeting on November 10th to institute the new Troop which they are forming there. We wish them "Good Luck and Good Scouting." On November 14th (Saturday) the much looked-for Rally of the 1st On- tario Lone Scout Troop will take place at London, under the direction of Mr. Jack Lawton, tlie popular Scoutmas- ter. There will be heaps of fun. It is with very great regret that the Lone Scout Department have to announce that Mr, Vie, Sheppard, of the 3rd Troop, had been forced to relin- quish the charge of that troop through pressure of business. Mr. Sheppard has done wonderful work with the Third, and his Lonies will miss him, but we know that they will "Smile and Whistle" and rally around the new Scoutmaster who we hope to In troduce to them very shortly, The Lone Scouts at Fenlon Falls are progressing rapidly, and are now look: ing for a Scoutmaster, to form a regu- lar Troop in that town. There is also wonderful scope for a Wolf Cub Pack. On the 28th October they held a con- cert at which the principal entertainer was Chiet Diyakah, a full-blooded In- dian, who entertained both in his In- dian Dress and in the clothes of the "Pale. Face." The Scouts thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as did the large audience which attended, and we are glad to say that the evening was a great success, both financially and 'Tonies, don't forget about your 'Xmag Good Turn, connectsd with the Lone Scout Toy Shops.

Lone Scouting is primarily intended for boys between 12 and 18 years of age who live in smal' towns, villages and on the rural routes. It's lots of fun to be a Lonie.--""Lone E." SI «ER Man of Future Will Live Closer to Soil? Washington.--A prophecy that the building of large cities will cease and that future generations will be brought by the progress of science to live closer to the soil was made to- day by engineers participating in the meeting here of the administrative board of the American Engineering Council. Americans will quit creating New Yorks and Bostons, Chicagos and De- troits, and, aided by cheaper power, will turn their attent'on to establish- ing smaller communities, it was pre- dicted. This chance, it was asserted, has been made possible by advances in science and engineering and when brought about will minimize the force of depressions. The council voted to study the prch- lem of integrating industry and agri- culture in connection with its program to relieve unempioyment, which is be- ing carried out by committees of en- bineers in every: state.

PASI EES Further Rise Noted In Footwear Output Ottawa.--The upward trend in the production of Canadian footwear was continued in September, according to a bulletin issued by the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics, and the manufacture of 1,672,437 pairs was an increase of 45,431 pairs over August, and of 56,578 pairs over September a year ago. The monthly average this year was 1,526, 138 pairs, or a total for the nine months of 13,725,242 pairs, as com- pared with a monthly average of 1,482, 889 pairs, or a total for the corresponl- ing period a year ago of 13,346,000 pairs The imports of leather footwear into Canad in September, 1931, record a total of 104,314 pairs, as compared with 86,916 palrs in August, and 288, 998 pairs in September, 1930. The total value of the imports in September, 1931, was $208,638, to which total the imports from the United Kingdom con- tributed §81,111, or 39 per cent, and for mthe United States $119,393, or 57 per cent, The quantity of Canadian - made leather footwear exported in Septem- ber, 1931, was 1,829 pairs. SESCAIIARY SIA Convict to Take Art Course Montreal.--For the first time in the A scene that will cause many Quebec. - Here we see a typical scene down in the Vermillion River district, a bold hunter a pang of jealousy, Ghosts of No Man's Land By Grantland Rice No one can hear the sound of feet When dead men rise and march again; No one can hear the measured beat Of ghosts that move by hill and glen To find some broken, shattered trench They left to make one final stand, Before each knew the sudden wrench Death sent in flame through No Man's Land. No one can hear when dreamless dust Stirs from its clay, to take old form, Before lifé knew the closing thrust And passed before the blood-red storm-- Youth, born for morning and the sun, Where dreams and hopes move hand in hand, : Youth brighter than the poppies spun Above their sleep in No Man's Land. No one can hear--but from their sleep I know they meet again to-day To find lost mates, up from the deep ~And gripping covérlet of clay; To dream lost dreams that passed too soon, Of life and love by starlight fanned, Blue eyes, red roses and the moon They never knew in No Man's Land. | Can ghosts see ghosts that might have been Of children calling in the light? Can unborn shadows still be seen By eyes that hold the inner sight? Shadows that dance upon the air And call in vain, forever banned; Of song and laughter and of prayer-- These, too, are ghosts of No Man's Land. Through misery of rain and mud, Of tangled wire, they played game; They wrote their records in the blood the That gave the poppies brighter flame; And where their thinning dust is spread They wait again the next command; One cup then to the deathless dead That meet to-day in No Man's Land. PREC RL AR Yale For First Time Gives Loomis Prize to Women South Hadley, Mass.--Miss. Kather- ine Haring, of New Haven, Conn., & graduate of the class of '29 at Mount Holyoke College, has recently become the recipient of the Loomis Fellowship of $1,500 in chemistry at Yale.

The set of ten volumes, containing the complete Latin works of St. Augustine, were brought to light by Dr. John O, Reidl, instructor of phil- osophy in the College or Liberal Arts. Dr. Reidl, while YPmmaigng about on the upper floor of the university lib- »ary, examined the volumes and found an inde: which surpasses the famous Benedictine index. The Benedictine index of the Migne Patrologia Latina series, in 221 volumes, is renowned for its exactness. The newly discovered books are un- bound but are in good condition. The title page of each volume bears this hand-written inscription in Latin, "Father Lenar} Coquaei Aurelius, Grand Duchess, Christina of Lotharingia, 1606." The books must have passed through French ownership, for a fleur-de-lys is imprinted below the Latin inscription. Another inscription in Volume I is "Now it is mine, Raymond Calyti, who legitimately bought it in November of the year 1815." The books contain the works of Aurelius Augustine, theologian and rhilosopher. Quastions affecting reli- gious dogmas written after his con- version as a priest and bishop consti- tute onc volume, St. Augustine's best work is his "Confessions," written in the , ear 400. His "Essays on Music" and "Soliloquies" are among the more interesting discourses. ° No one remembers how the vol imes reached the bokshelves at Marquette. -- Americans Leave U.S. To Settle in Dominion Ottawa. --The flow has reversed in regard to immigration between Can- ada an dthe United States. Citizens of the United States are now coming to Canada. In the past three months, July, Aug- ust and September, no fewer than 4,181 Americans came to Canada to settle, and this number included 1,243 of English descent, 473 of Irish parent- age, and 490 of Scottish descent. In the same period of time a total of 2,965 emigrated to Canada from the British Isles and European countries. Those from the British Isles number- ed 212 Irish, 1,112 Erglish, 443 Scot- tish and 46 Welsh, Immigration regulations, which are being rigorously carried out, require that " all of these new citizens must have enough money to tide them over a year. Chicago Teachers' Celebrate ~~ * | light, the adorned and noble theatre i acetylene and salt a~d water was an- American Chemical Soclety here recently. Three du Pont Company explained the tricks paper, They sald the ayuitishls material but a supplement, which may be em- uses, Also the artificial substance is expected to find u in some lnes where real rubber is not suitable. For example, the new material is gasoline: resistant. Acetylene Is treated to obtain chloro- prene, and that in tur nis converted in- to a plastic mass by a chemical pro- cess called poly.nerization. The paper sald the development is the result of work of a score of chemists over a period of years. Certain important differences from natural rubber are claimed. One is more- resistance to swelling action of gasoline, kerosene and other solvents. It is also more resistant to oxygen, ozone and some other chemical com- pounds which attack pure rubber. It vulcanizes { with application of heat alone. The new material is a milk-white latex, Natural rubber also is a white latex, but the artificial fluid was de- clared to differ radically through its increased penetrating power. Thus, said tho paper, it can impregnate some porous articles which resist real rub- ber. X-rays showed the synthetic product has an internal structure, that is an alignment of molecules, of patterns similar to those of natural rubber. This similarity, the paper added, has not been attained so well in synthetic rubbers previously produced. The World War produced one of the first large scale spnthetic rubber ex- periments in Germany. Artificial rub- ber was made successfully, but at a prohibitive cost. -------------- Quebec to Pay $500,000 For Housing of Colonists Montreal, -- Between $500,000 and $700,000 is to be spent by the provin- cial government of Quebec in the con- struction of houses for colonists who are being placed on the land. In the Lake St. John district, where most of the people are to be located, the de- mand for lumber has been s0 great that stocks are depleted. "'The back to the land' movement, instituted in aid of the unemployed, and the consequent erection of colon- ist homes in the various districts, par- ticularly in Lake St. John, has given an impetus to the lumber industry, as most of these houses are built almost entirely of lumber or of lumber with log foundations. 'When {it is under- stood that in most cares at least 20,000 feet of lumber goes into the construc- tion of each home, it becomes appar- ent that the lumber industry is receiv- ing much needed stimulation," it was stated recently by G. C. Piche, chief forgster of the province. -------- The Patriotic Unemployed London Daily Express (Ind. Cons,): There is one feature of this election so creditable to the people chiefly con- cerned and so fine a proof of the Bri- tish temper that we want our readers to do it full justice. That is the be- haviour of the unemployed. These un- happy men and women, eating the bit- ter bread of enforced idleness and thrust into the centre of political con- troversy, have splendidly refrained from any but the most isolated acts against the canons of good citizenship. The Socialists may slobber over them; the Communists may incite to viol- ence, These victims of the trade slump and of a sulcidal fiscal policy have not ceased to be British because they are down on their luck. The demonstra- tion they have given of how deeply implanted is the sense of law and or- der does more than command the ad- miration of all of us. It is a fresh spur to the national conscience and in- telligence to devise the means of re lieving their misfortunes in the only way they care about---namely, by find- ing work for them. : Life Tiniest insects build up ml a Bounced ko the Fubar Orvinton oy t the ver at in a scent not a substitute for natural rubber, | ployed in some of the thousands of|ing th the EE athition of bring- American producers and re- finers into a sales agreement with the Government of India." "To accomplish this purpose," the report continues, "the United States producers in order to conform with their national laws, could be organized only from the viewpoint of export sales." The committee adds that other large producers and the heavier holders of silver should join in the general agree- ment, A second important recommendation made by the committee is that govern- ment resort to silver as backing for thelr currency, thus obviating the an- ticipated gold shortage, The third recommendation is that the governments {nterested in support- ing the silver market restore their sub- sidiary i to the fi re- quired before the war, before the cur- rencies were debased, thus increasing world confidence in the value of the metal, A fourth proposal, and one that holds forth a promise to chemists and sales executives, is that the producers continually experiment and investi gate proposed new uses for the metal, DUE BEANRN a Mary and Doug. in N.Y. _Mr. and Mrs, Douglas Fairbanks arrived In New York recently and judging by their expression they are looking forward to a pleas- ant visit.

Pure milk is generally regarded as an indispensable part of every normal diet. It is not a perfect food, because of its deficiency in iron and compara tively low content of one or two of the vitamins, but it is the most nearly pes fect food we have.. On account. of the presence of vitamins A and G, it # one of the important so-called proteo: tive foods. A vital interest in milk as well as in man and machinery induced Thomas A. Rdison to press a button last No- vember to start the world's first roto lactor, or rotary combine milking sys- tem. The aged inventor frequently stated that he lived chiefly on milk health to his regular consumption of this well balanced food. For eight years he had been experimenting with milk, and for the last three years he took little else. "I came in with milk and I guess I'l go out with it," he said. "It's the i balanced ration -- balanced by Great Chemist." From the dawn of history, many other famous persons have been nour ished on the most nearly perfect food. When Romulus laid out the city of Rome, legend has it that he traced a furrow around the Palatine Hill with a plow drawn by two milk-white cat- tle. Then he poured out a libation of milk to the gods, particularly to Jupl ter, who had himself been raised om goat milk, Five hundred years before Christ, Gautama Buddha subsisted chiefly om milk and dairy products and thus maintained the vigorous health that was appropriate to one of the prophets of old. In one of the suttas of Budda it is written: "The cows are our friends, they give food, 'they -give strength, they likrwije give a good complexion and happiness." : All the ancient herlers were advo cates of milk, Greek physicians, such as Hippocrates, the father of medicine, Pliny, and others recommended milk in the treatment of tuberculosis. When Marco Polo visited the court of Kablai Khan in the thirteenth c.1 tury he was amazed to find a stable full of white mares, whose milk was used to supply the Khan and his im- mediate family. ~.'s famous explorer mentioned a dried milk made by the Mongols for us when traveling, which is the first historical allusion to & product that has been widely used ia recent years. Many of the famous centenarians of history have subsisted largely on dairy products, Zaro Agha, the venerable 'Turk who visited the United States fn 1930 at the reputed age of 156, is a heavy drinker of 'milk. One of the most notable authentic centenarians was Dr. Stephen Smith, who died in 1922 in his one hundredth year. He wag the physician instrumental in es- tablishing the first board of health Im New York City. For the first seventy years of his life, Dr. Smith is sald to have eaten almost nothing but milk and bread. In later life he had & broader diet, but he still depended largely on milk. Louis XI. of France, 'and one of his descendants, Frances L, were habitual users of milk. In more modern times drafts of milk have aided many statesmen to perform their public duties properly, Mussolini is said to consume at least fiye glasses of milk a day. Ruth Hanna MeCor mick concentrates 'largely on dairy products in her own health program of plenty of sleep and proper food. Milk is part of the official ration of the United States Army and Navy, which uses chiefly the:canned form. In 1928- and 1929 the: U.S. Navy used: nearly' ten million. pounds of canned or pow dered milk. A recent item in the New York Times stated that the. Czeche- slovakian army has substituted milk for the black coffee that was formerly part of the ration. Fighting men of another sort are also habitual drinkers of milk, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and owed his vigor and splendid
