Instead of his de- parture being the end of his activ- ities for his disciples, it will be the be- ginning of a wider and a greater working. His followers will do t- er things because, after his death, his Spirit will p men more it ly. V's6 has it happened.

The change is shown in world statistics by marked falls in average death rates and rapid Increases of total poulation, the latter being slowed up in some degree by considerable decreases of the birth rates. The chief change in the struc. tare of poulation is a relatively great increase of older people. The present low death rates, the League points out, must be temporary. Within a few years present middle-aged people who have been kept alive by medical sclence will get so old that they must dle, for modern science has not in- creased in the least the maximum length of life which man can expect, Accordingly the present low death rates all over the world soon must give place to greatly increased ones as these older people begin to die. World population then must adjust itself to a new equilibrium based on longer aver- age lives but with birth rates and death rates again approximately equal. ---- ---- Loose-Leaf Attire? The Christian Science Monitor.--The "spare parts" idea has wonderful pos- sibilities, it has been urged, if applied to clothes. You do not throw your new motorcar away or give it to the "old iron" man because a doodad in the machin.ry gets loose. You buy a new grimcrack to take the place of the old. Similarly, one might do with the family's clothes.: If Johnny puts a hole in the trousers ! of his new Sunday suit, mother need not bother. She would merely look in her files, There she would find the number of the perforated part and, stepping to the telephome, would ask the store to send ou: "No. XT15492K." A few stitches the next day, and Johnny's best suit would be a little better than it was, If the back of father's coat grew shiny, just look in his replacement book. If Mother's sleeves split, tele- phone for a new set, The scheme ds simple and ical. How- ever, it obviously would require a re- building of clothes, Suits and shirts and socks would have to be made on the detachable, loose-leaf system. But why not? it is asked. Yet, great standardization would al- 80 be needed to carry through the spare parts system. And there comes in the problem of the new models of hats, dresses, and so forth--to say nothing of the little matters of match- ing colors and of making the armholes fit. So, altogether it is likely to be! quite a little while before spare coats are sold in slot machines. pm The Imperial Conference Le Devoir, Montreal (Ind.).--One 'thing is certain, and the British auth- orities have loyally made this clear to us: at Ottawa nothing is going to We are not going to sit in at a meeting of lov- ers, but at a real conference of busi- ness men.

M. Bernhardt, the grape grower, claims that preservation by his method costs 20 filler--4 cents--per kilo of grapes. Should further investigations prove the value of this new preservation, it will prove a boon to grape growers who are now compelled to sell their produce at the throughout Hungary, very low prices obtaining during th vintage, or suffer heavy losses later. It will also mean that the Hungarian consumer, instead of paying 4 pengoe per kilo for imported Spanish grapes during the winter and spring, will now be able to buy home-grown grapes for about 50 filler--10 cents--a kilo, La All in a moment, years ago, The boy I was became a man.

The Coast Guard and police forces are in charge of the campaign for pro- tection of the industry on which more than 90 per cent, of the northern folk are dependent. Since 1911 it as been illegal to kill fish by dynamite, but the practice al- ways has been carried on. The extra- ordinary increase of the last few months, due to the money shortage, however, has caused the government alarm. For every kilogram of fish which are caught after dynamiting 16,- © 000 are destroyed, it is estimated. The gocerpment also is out to end the smuggling of dynamite, which has flourished on the demands of the fish bandits. Almost daily there are thefts of the explosive. I The outlaw fishermen do not always escape the danger of their trade, even it they elude the police, for almost dally there are accidents in handling the. dynamite on a choppy sea. reps t Scientists Prepare to View - Eclipse August 31st Montreal. --According to a recent an- nouncement made by Dean A. 8. Hve, director of McGill Physics Building, two expeditions of British scientists, one of which will set up its apparatus on the roof of the Physics Building at jean University, are coming to Can- ada to make observations during the total solar eclipse on August 31 next. McGill scientists will co-operate with the members of both these expeditions as well as carry out independent re- | search work, mainly in the realm of radio and astronomical observations. Anticipation of the coming opportunity for observation of a total solar eclipse has been heightened by the fact that Montrealers will not have such an op- portunity again for more than 200 | years, All meteorological observations in connection with the total eclipse and with the polar year, which consits of national expeditions in the Arctic re- glons, are in the hands of John Pat- terson of the meteorological office at Toronto. ----e This Winter Day by day the snow is making a dispirited attempt to establish itself on this section of Mother Earth; and the hockey player's reflection will be that whover invented artificial ice did a good day's work.--Toronto Globe.

For a few moments I remained warm and comfortable where I was, listening to the frost as it started the nails in the clapboards of the house, with the noise of pistol shots. : The twentieth century boy, living in a steam-heated house, has 'ittle idea of what a cold winter was in a house warmed by stoves, "It is quite a different matter to sleep in a room in midwinter with the windows open, and step into a warm bathroom in the morning, from dressing in the frigid atmosphere and traversing the halls that have the sullen chill of an ice- house, and hover over a stove slowly recovering from a long night's slecp. In those days a boy's misery began with his waking. In a circle around the stove, according io the number of boys in a family, stood the boys' boots of tough sole and stiff leg, reaching nearly to the knee; some copper-toed, and all having a square red label on the upper face, marked with the name and address of the maker, In the ab- sence of rubbers, as worn today, the boots have been "greased" the night Ontario Leads Provinces In Population Increase Ottawa.--Final figures of the popu- lation of Canada by provinces as shown by the 1931 gensus have now been made public by the Dominion Statlst!-' clan, The Dominion population is 10,374, 196, compared with 8,788,483 in 1921, an increase of 1,685,713, or 18.04 per cent, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scitia and the Northwest Territories de- creased in population, and the other provinces increased.

Close escapes from death are used | mon among newsreel camera men and fatal accidents are not infrequent, ac- cording to an article in the February issue of the Elks Magazipe, entitled "Shooting the News." The aécount king | tells of some of the amusing and hair raising stunts of the film news-gath- erews, in their world-wide quest for thrills to entertain a public which de- niands the exciting and the bizarre. The article recounts the story of Cameraman Charles Traube, who set his camera a few feet oft the course of Lee Bible's racing car as it plunged down the speed course at 200 miles an hour and, swerving, hit Traube and hurled his shattered body 400 feet away. Another cameraman named Gelskop was miraculously saved when, grinding his camera in the path of the speed driver, Lockhart, on Daytona Beach, the bullet-like car hit a sand hummock and somersaulted directly over Geiskop's head, tossing the driver to his death. In both cases the cam- eras escaped intact, and movie pat- rons twenty-four hours later were wit- nessing the thrilling records of the fatal races, unaware in the case of Traube that the camera man had paid for his daring with his life. : One of the most difficult tasks of a newsreel camera man, according to the article, is to "steal" pictures of & h fonship pri ht, after exclu sive picture rights have been sold to one newsreel company. Scores of guards are posted throughout the audé ence and every precaution is taken to prevent picturetaking. At one of the Dempsey fights two cameramen imper sonated peanut vendors, moving freely through the audience and about the ring with baskets of peanuts on thelr arms. Concealed beneath the peanuts were whirring automatic miniature cameras, focused through small holes in the sides of the baskets, At another fight a camera man rented a water tank that overlooked the arena, drain. ed of water, bored holes through it and "shot' 'the whole fight, unmolest- ed. s--e------ German Engineer Would Use Winds As Power Source Berlin--Harnessing the air for gen- erating electric power is advocated by Hermann Honnef, an engineer, whose perfected designs for that purpose are engrossing the attention of scientists and technicians and may revolutionize the German electric industry. Honnef claims to have solved the technical difficulties in a way to efficiently con- vert the force of the wind into electric power and to overcomre.the drawback of the inconstancy of air currents which hitherto has been a handicap to the utilization of this source. His plan is to tap the winds at altl- tudes of 1,000 to 1,400 feet by means of great steel towers equipped with gigantic windwheels several hundred feet in diameter. Such an aeroelectrie unit, requiring about 6,000 tons of steel for its construction, would gener ate 20,000 kilowatts a day and so econ omically that a rate of less than a quarter of a cent per kilowatt hour cam be figured out, the inventor asserts. In expounding his project at the Physics Institute of the Charlottems burg Polytechnic, before physicists, electrical engineers and technical re- presentatives of the Reich Govern- ment, Herr Honnef emphasized that water power suitable for developing electricity was confined to certain lo- calities and that hydro electric plants were costly, whereas the winds were everywhere available and therefore the logical primary source for electrie power. Forty to fifty of his power towers could be built annually in Ger many, he sald, and the low rate at which power produced by them could be furnished to consumers would lead to hitherto unthought of use of eleo- tricity. He urged the immediate con- struction of a wind tower, perferably in Berlin, to gerve the twofold purpose of Initiating the new process and af fording means for further observation and experiment, A representative of the Relch Transport Ministry suggest. ed beginning with a smaller tower te be built for testing purposes. shat amano Gold in the Danube Budapest, -- The possibilities of dredging the Danube for gold have come before the public once more in a practical form, A Hungarian expert has exhaustively examined both the river bed and the land near the bank for miles, and maintains that in every cubic meter of soll there is at least one-half gram of pure gold. If, there fore, the river bed were dredged, it is estimated that more than $4,000,000 worth of gold could be obtained, and this would yield 50 per cent. profit, Hungary itself cannot supply the 1. 000,000 pengoe necessary to begin this investigation work, under presen economic conditions, but an English and two American financial groups are stated to be interested. The Budapest Municipality has pre sented painted white walking sticks te all the blind of the city, so that they may be more easily distinguished by the public, who can help them to cross roads, enter the desired street carm and so forth Za Are iA pane a ie LS ER aa aT a
