His suc- cess is a story of triumph over ex- ceptional difficulties. His right hand was shattered at Ypres, where he was an artillery'of- ficer, and it was feared his ambition as an organist was entirely frus- trated. However, after several cper- ations in hospital he "came back," and passed his examination without any concession. He had studied law for a while, but music was his natural bent. His suc- cess is a triumph of will power as well as musicianship, the examination for the Associateship of the Royal most a fantastic objective at first, and now Reginald Silby Lewis holds the diploma of the world's leading school of the organ. --e ie Film Acting in France Raised to High Plane Acting for the films is raised official ly to the level of performing at the Comedie Francaise or singing at the Opera and -the Opera Comique.

Scientists tells 'there Is no such hereditary diseases--that weaknesses and tendencies may be inherited; hut not the diseases them- Children born of parents afllicted with tuberculosis are almost sure to be flat-chested, and parents suffering , from some digestive disease" or ail- ment are likely to pass on to their off-spring the weakness or tendency to the same condition. No one will argue that a flat chest cannot be corrected by remedial exer: afr, will admit that a tendency towards poor. digestion can be remedied by proper mastication and a sound diet, aided by regular exercises of the ab: dominal regions. The only cure for bad mastication is sound teeth, either real or arti ficial, and the regular habit of mas- ticating one's food completely, With regard to exercising the ab- dominal organs everyone should do that whether they are in apparent good health or not, because regular exercise of all the muscles of the body is essential to the best of health, The value of the daily dozen or some form of recreational sport daily is no myth, because one has only to try it to feel its excellent effects. As to diet this is a subject which should engage the earnest study of all, because it is only by studying and knowing the value of different types of food and their relation to one an- other that one is able to eat from day to day in accordance with the best| dietetic principles, Everyone knows that pork and apple sauce are a neces- sary dietetic combination, but.we fear that many people are of the same opinfon regarding sausages, pancakes and maple syrup for breakfast. Our advice is get hold of home diet- etic books. and study them and we guarantee that a few hours' study will reveal many very startling discoveries to the uninitiated. It seems to us that it is important--indeed it is a duty-- for any woman who has the dietetic care of a household under her wing to understand clearly what the true principles of a balanced diet are. A balanced diet builds health, while an incompatible diet breaks it down. . The ugual practice in an incompat- ible diet is an overdose of the pro- teins--bread, cream, - butter, cheese, potatoes and pastry--and an underdose of fruits and vegetables, One may eat practically all of the latter one may wish, fruits more particularly, with safety, but too many of the pro- teins are dangerous, and, by the way, the usual cause of overweight, «- ® BON SANTE. °. --- ---- Culling Laying Flock - Is Very 'Desirable (Experimental Farms Note) With the general low price of poul- try products now prevalling, it behoov- es the poultryman to keep his cost of production as low as possible. Pres- ent economic conditions call for the elimination of the undesirable and un- profitable hens from the farm flocks thereby increasing the quantity and improving the quality of eggs produced and decreasing the cost of production by a saving of feed, housing and man- agement wasted on the non-producing or low-pwmducing hens. It is important to be able-to dis- tinguish between the Jaying and the non-laying birds. 1f a bird is laying the comb will be red and full, the vent dilated and moist, the pelvic bones thin, pliable and wide apart and the abdomen large, soft and pliable, while if not laying the comb will be pale or whittish-colored, the vent con- tracted and dry; the pelvic bones rigid and close together and the abdomen firm or hard. In a yellow-skinned bird the beak, vent and shank of a heavy layer are pale yellow or white in color, whereas the beak, vent and. shank of a poor layer or of a layer that fis taking a long rest are usually bright yellow in color. The health and type of the layers are algo important points to be taken into consideration in culling, Only those birds that are healthy and vig- orous and that have a wide back of good length, combined with a deep body should be retained in the flock. One other important feature that should be kept in mind in culling 1s to note the time of the molt. As a rule birds that' molt before the first of September are poor layers, while those that molt later in the year are good layers. The latter part of Aug- ust is, then, an excellent perlod for culling laying flock and at that time all hens that have quit laying should be culled. ad Lg "Just what Is your hurba bition. in Ife?'

Accident Frequency Shown by Statistics Increase Sic in 1931 Re- port of Dominion Bureau Toronto.--There is not yet in Can- ada a comprehensive system of report- ing and compiling motor vehicle acei- dents, although the provinces are one by one requiring motorists to report all accidents and possibly in the near future the laws in all the provinces will be more or less the same in this respect. The vital "statistics collect- ed by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tice however are complete for fatal accidents, . The deaths are recorded in the place in which they occur. Thus an accident may happen in one province and the victim may dle in another province; the number of such cases would be small, but for cities un- doubtedly mlany of the fatalities are due to accidents on rural highways and the victims are brought into the cities and recorded from there. Con- sequently city statistics should . be construed to include the surrounding country, During 1931, despite the lighter mo- tor travel as revealed by the gaso- line consumption, the number of per- sons killed in motor vehicle accidents increased to 1,314 as compared ith 1,290 in 1930. The increases were not in the summer months when travel is heaviest, but in the winter months, January showing an increase from 30 to 54, and February an in- crease from 31 to 52. March, Oclo- ber, November and December also showed increases, The largest number of deaths from motor vehicle accidents was reported from Montreal (143), which was an ircrease over 1930 of 7, or 6 per cent, but was less than the high record made in 1929 with 151 deaths. To- ronto had a new high record of 110 which was more than twice the num- ber of persons killed five years pre- vious and was an increase of 64 per cent, over the number reported for 1930. Winnipeg, Hamilton, Ottawa, Quebec, Verdun, St. John and Saska- toon all had better records than in 1930. For the provinces the greatest im- provement was made by New Bruns- wick, where only 46 deaths occurred as against 72 in the previous -year. On a gasoline consumption basis, which is only approximate because some of the taxed gasoline is not used by motor vehicles, the best record was made by Saskatchewan, followed by Prince Edward Island. There must be a fundamental reason for the low record made by Saskatche- wan year after year. Probably the straight, wide roads and no very large cities are the chief factors, although the enforcement of trafic regala- tions by police and the punishment of infraction by magistrates "are im- portant factors in all provinces, EE a me The Polite Man The politest man. in Boston has been discovered. He was hurrying along a street the other night, when another man, also in violent haste, rushed out of an alley-way, and the two collided with great force. The second man jooked mad, when the polite man, tak- ing oft his hat, sald: "My dear sir, I don't know which of us Is to blame for the violent encounter, but I am in too great a hurry to investigate, If I ran into you, I beg your pardon; if you ran into me, don't mention it."
