Ont. --The bonds ich are holding 'apart the Ortenzi family are being severed as Italian officials here forward documents which will allow Mrs. Josephine Ortenzi, separ< "ated from her husband, Bernardo, with ope caughter, Mary, and a son Renato, in Buffalo. Mrs. Ortenzi has with her twin seven-year old sons, Dello and Daria, and has been in Ca- nada since early in 1931. > "After having lived in Buffalo for some time, she crossed the border to visit relatives in Welland. She was never allowed to return. Recently after a long fight, United States gov- ernment officials allowed her to file application for a visit at Black Rock. Then difficulty arose regarding her marriage certificate. A certified copy has been received from Italy, A medical examination is now be- ing arranged. ~The case has aroused considerable sympathy locally and a considerable sum of money has been subscribed to heip the woman, Tech: * nical -points have now extended her temporary visit more than three years. . . To Woman Librarian A notable compliment to a woman librarian was recently paid by Angus Fletcher, director of the British Lib- rary of Information at New York, speaking before the Canadian Club of Toronto, . Mr. Fletcher sald: "When I think Separated including men's sweaters and lad Could Not Knit For Neuritis If neuritis bothers you, deal with it as this woman dealt with hers:-- "For years I was unable to knit," she writes, "owing to neuritis in my hands. ast year I started taking Kruschen, and now I can keep u with anyone, Already this year have knitted about 12 pieces in 20 es fancy pull-overs, as well as several babies' articles. Naturally, I feel quite proud, and I owe it all to Krus- chen. ¥ have not felt in better health for years and will keep on taking Kruschen as long as I live."'-- (Mrs,) A. S. ; Neuritis is caused by deposits of needle-pointed, flint-hard uric acid crystals, which pierce the nerves and cause those stabbing pains. Kruschen Salts break up these deposits of tor- turing crystals and convert them into a harmless solution, which is prompt- ly removed through the natural chan- nel -- the kidneys. Sick Persons Need Tempting Foods Small, Dainty Portions More Appetizing to Invalids When there is a chronic invalid in the home, or a person convalescing from a serious illness, recipes for the preparation of light but nourishing food are a great help. The doctor in attendance usually orders the foods| to be served , but it is up to the home maker to see that she has the recipes for the designated dishes. Serve smal, dainty portions of food and a limited variety at any one meal of Toronto I associate with it ii mY. a; apundance of food, often nausea: mind two Impressions: first, splendid work done by Miss Lillian Smith in your Children's Library, and second, the beauty and quiet of Hart House. ....Hart House will be enjoyed most exclusively by the people of Canada. The unique list of children's books, edited by Miss Smith, is a treasure you share -with the whole English-speaking world, I should like to see it in the hands of every school teacher and librarian in the Empire." Mr. Fletcher's general message had to do with his own tagk of keeping American inquirers accurately in. formed regarding British affairs. Linotype ° To Go? : Prospect of Doing Away with Linotype Seen in Device In 1921 there was a printers' strike 'in New York with the result that The Scientific American and The- Literary Digest were published 'in typewritten form. That is, articl- es were written on the typewriter, the typewriting was photo-engraved and the printing was done from the photo-engraving. With some difficulty and the exercise of considerable akill on the part of Jhcob Backes, who knew as mich about typesetting and proofreading as any man could know, it became possible to adjust the lines - 0 that they were all of full-column width. When the strike was over the two papers and a few dozen of lesser importance that had followed their exampie returned to the linotype machine, : "Joseph Spiel Vogel of Newark, N.J., returns to the possibility = of using the typewriter+and photo-en- graving in this fashion and thus do- ing away with type. To overcome the difficulty of aligning the lines so that they. will all be of exactly the same width he relies upon a paper of his own invention. It is a finely cor- rugated paper with horizontal slits to separate the lines. TYPE AS USUAL The paper is cemented to a backing sheet. You typewrite in the usual| way, paying no attention to the length of the lines: Then with the fingers or with a pair of tweezers you lift up a short line, pull it out to the proper length (easy because: of the corrugations. in the paper and the slits) and then press it-back in its correct 'place on 'the cement of the backing sheet. Strange as it may seem, the eye detects no distortion of letters, When the stretching is 'ex- cssive the letters are pulled out with interesting effects. Thus Vogel makes it possible not only to align typewrit- ing but to produce several type effects on the one machine.

The sleep of lower animals and Sahay is directed by a primordial centre which works on a cycle unrelated to day or night. The infant gradually substi- tutes the activity of the cortex ("bark" of the brain) for the-original cycle, learning to 'sleep and to be awake in longer periods, Bodily ' temperature is highest in the afternoon and lowest sometime in the early morning. By inverting sleep habits, turning night into day and day into night the temperature range can also be inverted. Muscle tension is necessary for wakefulness. Merely by lying down the body temperature may be lower- ed by one or one and one-half de- grees Fahrenheit. - In the first half of the night the temperature falls, and in the second half of the sleep period it rises. Movements in sleep increase in num- bot during the latter part of the per- iod. -- Dr, Kleitman-made-records-of the body temperatures and movements on twelve graduate students who moved an average of from three to five min. utes during an eight-l:our sleep in a total of 20Q nights. Temperature and number of movements vary with the seasons, both decreasing in the late Autumn apd Winter. Heavy doses of alcohol before go- ing to sleep produced aamarked fall in temperature during the first sleep. , There was a total lack of movement for. the first hour or so. Later the temperature rose above normal, as did the number of move- ments, The caffein in three or four cups of coffee produced in the sleep- er a higher temperature in the first period of sleep than did alcohol and occasioned considerably more rest- lessness. Accuracy and speed in doing work rise with the subject's temperature, up to a tolerable point. There is no uniformity between. various individ- uals as to when they hit" their peak of temperature and efficiency. Some of the subjects tested showed great- er perfection® in their tasks at 11 J o'clock at night. after a long day, 'than "they did when they got up the next morning. : 'Holidays of 1934 Following are the holidays for the year 1934 New Year's Day, Good Friday, March 30; Easter Monday, April 2; Victoria Day, Thursday, May 24; King's Birthday, June 3, Sunday, June 4; Dominion Day, July 1, Sun. day, July 2; Civic Holiday, Monday, August 6; Labor Day, Monday, Sep- tember 3; Thanksgiving Day, Mon. day, Octobér 8 (probable date); Re- membrance-- Day, November 11, Sun. day, November 12; Christmas Day, Tuésday, December 25, ?

It is pos- sible to make frozen desserts with the ordinary utensils to be found in any Canadian kitchen, and with this fact in view numerous recipes are given for ice creams ices such as wa- ter and milk sherbets, puddings and sauces, together with full directions of procedure.

Conflict Between Home and School There is a certain hiatus between home and school that sets the child's mind against this latter, It comes about this way, In his home there is obedience, but it is unqualified obedience. At home his temperament is under stood and he receives toleration ac- cording to circumstances. Little for- ays into mischief are understood and forgiven. Lapses from responsibility are not taken too seriously as a rule and "absolute" obedience is not expected. In school he must fit to a system, somewhat military in its way. This must be so, in spite of all attempts to perfect the "experimental" or "progressive" public school plan. CONFORMING TO SYSTEM The hundreds of pupils.to be hand- led in a building will always have to conform to some "set" system. Chan- ges are being made and none too soon to revamp the rigid exactness of the old system, but we doubt if it will ever reach the point where each child may be dealt with as an abso- lute individual. Nor should it be necessary. We believe that mass grouping and cer tdin demands made on the child have their good points. The majority of normal children not only accept the situation, but do pretty well under it. School can never be a party. It is intended to put stern stuff in chil- dren, and.too much individualism is bad for the best of us. However, there is something wrong when the attitude of children toward school is unfriendly. They accept it, but it is with a sort of endurance that makes the best of a bad job. It coud be different, and it will be, when the rapidly changing system gets to a point where the desire to learn is intrenched in the child's heart through his aroused interest. This will affect grading and placing. 3 Jud also affect the subjects stud- ded.

And we must discard also the idea that our Jimmy or our Mary will cne day be allowed to study only the things he likes. School is not an indul- gence. ' Now we are just where we started The home on one side, the school on the other, and the child in the middle, a shuttle that fails daily to weave them together. He woes home and is, we'll say, vver-indulged, He feels that his parents have no real concep: tion of his seven hours a day away from them- or the trouble he faces. It creates a "pull" away frem the school, and there are "pulls" cnough without that. . ENCOURAGING FRIENDSHIP .. There should be a contact point. Parent-Teachers meetings don't (lo it, although they are useful. of corse. The trouble is that the child himself is seldom present to get the feeling of friendship between instructor and parent. In elementary schools there. should be a plan that does not inter- fere with the teachers's work -- as daily visits do ---- such as an open day once a month. No program should ke:p the children under a strain at the time as is too often the case, ~ When the parent projects persone ality and interest into the school building by aszociation of id~as and a feeling that his school world is discovered, the child will overcome his feeling of segiceation, He will feel that he fits. He moves his "family feeling" to school because they have '"'contacted" it. There might be another way, but it would have to be somewhat after this plan. It would he a wonderful help to the "prejudiced" child in par- ticular. Fashion Hints Two casts of each pastel :hadc are shown in silk or rayon sports mer chandise.
