These are the favorite foods of the natives of Lib eria, among whom she has spent the last three years, according to Mrs, Edmond Hancox, a Toronto mission- ary who has returned home on leave. For three years and four months, Mrs, Hancox has been with her hus- band at a mission station 15 miles' inland from Grand Bassa, Liberia, where she has been teaching gchool. The natives there are a peaceful lot, farmers mostly, but they still cling to a number of peculiar and disturb- ing tribal eustoms. : "Whenever a native dies," said ts. Hancox, "the body is surround- £d by chief mourners and 'lesser' mourners. who wail over the departed throughout the night, and as long as the body remains above ground, to the monotonous, nerve-cracking thud of the drums." At first, Mrs, Hancox found the drums almost unbearable, going on sometimes for days on end, but she soon got used to them.

"Caterpillars Block Train Two Hours Fort William,--The regular train from Winnipeg to Fort William was held up recently for over two hours near Kawene' station by swarming millions of caterpillars, whicl: cover- ed the rails and prevented the wheels of the train from gripping the track. The plague of caterpillars has attack- ed the poplar trées, and the-inseets are stripping the trees of ail= the spring foliage. USE DARK POWDER ON SKIN THAT IS TANNED Once you get a coat of tan -- no matter how slight--the make-up whtch flattered your white skin dur- ing the winter months won't do at all. -No, you simply can't wear pale rachel powder over skin that is dark- er than the powder itself, Nor will delicate pink rouge and lipstick do a thing for you. Look to the cosmetics that are made especially for summer skins if you would 'be beautiful all through the hot months, First of all, .consider your powder. Tt should be quite dark--In fact, at least two shades darker than your skin. An excellent idea is to get a small box of very dark suntan pow- der and then mix a little of it with or- dinary face powder until the desired shade is obtained, Then, as you be- come browner and browner, keep on adding more of the dark powder to your regular supply. ; Don't forget to change your rouge.

Editors Have Snap Every once in a while some cheer- ful individual remarks to us: "Well, now that the paper is out I suppose that you can take it easy for three or four days." Yes, how delightful it'is that a country editor has nothing to do be: tween press days. Business runs along automatically, When paper bills come due money. drops off the trees with which to pay them, Subscribers vie with each other to see who can' pay the farthest in advance, Advertisers just beg for additional space and the way news hunts up the editor is also pleasant to contemplate, oo There is something strange about the-way news items act, When the paper is out, the editor simply goes to his desk and leans back in his easy chair, looking wisa and waiting for a next week's press day. The day be- fore press day the people line up be- fore the office door, and then file in past the desk and tell him all the news of the week. He writes it up in 16 or 20 minutes, takes it back and hangs it on the hook. The composi tor takes the copy and shakes it over the type case, says a few mystic words, and the type flies into place, and after a few passtv by the foreman the forms are ready for the press a- gain. And the editor goes down and deposits some more money in the bank. It is the greatest snap In the cata- logue.-- (Baltimore Enterprise.) McClelland Barclay Gives Designers Some Advice ~~ NEW YORK--Although American women are among the best dressed in the world, they could look still more nearly "the way they want to look" {if dress designers knew some- thing about anatomy, in the opinion of McClelland Barclay, the illustrator. "Clothes could be designed not only to improve the appearance of women but to improve their definite defects" Barclay said. } "For one thing, they are all design- ed on beautiful figures that would look well wearing a sack, whereas they ought to be designed for flgures that are not beautiful." "The caterpillar figure is out," he added, "the debutante - slouch, the poiret slump--they're pretty much passe, - «Girls now are interested in hav- Ing fine healthy bodies, strength, en- durance, and pep.

A Service to ~The Community The Canadian National Express is very definitely identified with the progress of the communities served by the Canadian National Railways. Selling of farm produce and purchase of manufactured goods alike is made easy through the services of this Com- pany. The farmer or rural dweller is no farther away from the big city store than he is from the Canadian National Express office, nor {3 he an further removed from his city-dwell- ing customers to whom he may desire to consign shipments of butter, eggs, Russian Women Ready to Run Soviet Industry Machine Tool Factories Oper: ate Night and Day Nurseries Attached When, it ever, millions of Russian workmen receive the call to arms, Soviet industry will be run: by wo- men, many of them mothers, who are now being trained in highly skilled factory work. ' The process may be seen In Kalin. in tool cutting plant in the suburbs of Moscow. This is one of the now specialized factories which are becor- ing an important part of Soviet indus- try. In the factory, and others like it, tremendous efforts are being made to achieve economic self-sufficiency by making the machines and tools neces. sary for the.manufacture of other machines. Hitherto, most of the ma- chine tools in use in the Soviet Union have been imported, The Kalinin (factory opened two years ago and now turns out 24,000,- 000 drills of the hardest steel each year. These drills are used in motor plants, shipyards, and machine factories. The building, American In style, 18 well-lighted and -ventilated. Of the 4,600 employees, about halt are broad-faced peasant women, most of whom, until a few years ago, had never seen anything more complicated than a plough. Now they handle difficult and expensive ma- chinery with the same: skill as men, Women Are Mothers A great number of the women are mothers, They. live in large apart ment houses about a stone's throw from the factory, and nearby is a great nursery where more than 100 children are cared for by trained nurses during the day. The children have their own ccinmunity with din- ing rooms, playrooms and workrooms. Nor do the Soviet authorities forget to imbue the children with Commun- ist doctrine, Nearly every room of the nursery contains a picture of Lenin and slogans of the usual type. As everywhere in the Soviet Union the Kalinin factory is operating at what might be termed "war-tempo." There are three shifts a day, of gaven hours each. The average sal- ary is about 225 roubles a month, though some of "tho --most highly skilled workers get a8 much as 700 roubles. Rouble"s Purchasing Power It is impossible to translate roubles into sterling and glve an accurate idea of the real value of wages, Nom- nally 225- roubles is £22,10.0 but ac- tually it does not represent anything like that in purchasing value. The high-grade steel used in the fac- tory which is equipped largely wi German machinery, is produced in the Soviet Union, but Russia still imports gieel froin Sweden and other coun- tries, These imports, according to officials, are only tempcrary and will ceuse if, and when, the Soviet Union reaches its ultimate goal--economic gelf-sufficlency. Wall: a Mile Before You Buy New Shoes The rigat home treatments and shoes that actually fit are two factors which insure summer foot comfort, When you set out to buy new sports, street or evening shoes for the hot months, go to a salesman who will measure your feet instead of getting your size from the shoes which you're already wearing. : When buying street shoes; it's a good idea to walk a mile before you go.in to try them on. Your feet swell a trifle after a long walk In hot weather and if you Luy shoes while they're in that concition, the new shoes will always be comfortable no matter how long you have them on or how far you walk in them. Sports shoes usually come in wider widths than street mocels, In that case, you can get them a half size shorter than you generally wear, How- ever, remember that most women need all shoes a half size 'ar;er dur- ing the summer months. In other words, don't buy shoes until your feet have been accurately measured, stockings should be exactly the right size. If they're too long, they'll wrinkle around ths: tces, causing blis- ters. If too short, the; 're ant to crowd. tho toes, making them ache. And, as a final word, never wear stockings a gecond day without washing. A fresh pair each and every day is the rule.

CIGARETTE TOBACCO Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada, Limited Rail Speed Record Not so very long ago many stud- ents of transportation were seriously asking whether the airplane would ever be able to excel tho train very far in the matter of speed, writes the Baltimore Sun. That was in the days when commercial airplanes capable of a sustained speed of 150 miles an hour appeared to have reached the maximum limits of the air speed bracket, and when new trains then being developed in Eurepe were at- taining 100 miles an hour or more. Nowadays, when the record for an ordinary mail plane between Los An- geles and Newark is eleven hours and thirty-one minutes, it seems probable that the airplane will hold a very de- cided supremacy in the matter of speed. On the recent wirmail flight on which the Los Angeles-Newark re- cord was made, the pilot, Jack Fry, average 227 miles an hour for 1,609 miles, with only one stop for refuel ing. His speed was nearly three times that of the Burlington Railroad's "Zephyr", which on Saturday aver- aged 77.5 miles an hour fcr the 1,015 mile distance between Denver and Chicago. oe But while the airplane has dem- onstrated Its superiority, tue fact that a train has been able to do what the Burlington's new stream-iined "Zeph- yr" did puts the railroads rather more effectively into the competition in the gpeed business, The Burlington's train has to its credit a feat the like of which has never been recorded be- fore in rail history. Aud for that great mass of groundlings who prefer to have their speed somewhat closer to the earth than ig possible in an airplane, the possibilities of travel in such a fast train as this will seem very attractive indeed. Moreover, while in the matter of speed records, the train is usually checked against the airplane, in the matter of patronage it must be com- pared with the bus and the private automobile, And the bus and the pri vate automobile are still very far re- moved from the stage of their devel opment where they can go from Den- ver to Chicago between sunrise and sunset. 'When, as and if trains get to doing as a regular matter of busi- ness what the Burlington train did for exhibition purposes, the railroads will bo in position to recover enme of their lost passenger traffic, which is of course, what 'hey are aflor.

This advance in surgery was ex: plained «i the scientific exhibition of the American Medical Association by Claire L. Straith, M.D., of Detroit. The automobile influence has been coming with a rush, Dr. Straith says, since the recent great increases in auto speeds. The accidents in cars have thrown occupants against wind- shields, smashing faces, often dis- figuring or removing noses, In these accidents it has been the case of the woman who pays and the man who profits, Dr. Straith says eight times as many girls and women as men go to the plastic surgeon for smashed faces due to auto crashes. But the crop of damaged faces has led to the new surgery for rebuild- ing male noses. On the neck, below the ear, and between the scalp hairline and the beard hairline on the face, there is a strip of skin which matches the nose perfectly. This strip is lifted like the handle of a suitease--that is, its up- per and lower ends remain fastened, one under the car, the other low down on the neck. The surgical name for this strip is a pedicle. Underneath the pedicle the neck skin is drawn together, and meanwhile for three weeks the pedi cle grows arched in the air, wetting accustomed to an independent life. Then one end of this skin handle is cut and bent up to the missing nose. The scar which already was formed on the nose is turned under to form a stift lining, shaped like the Upon this is laid the neck skin. The exhibits show noses repaired by this method until in photographs it is not possible to detect the difference from a normal nose. nose. Not Habit Forming DITYDRO--MORPHINE-D, A NEW PRODUCT OF SCIENCE _ CLEVELAND-- Dihydro-desoxymor- phine-D, a new product of science, is being given to human beings as a first step in a search for a non-habit- forming type of morphine, The human experiment was ment joned, without details, in a report made to the American Medical Asso- ciation by Dr. C. W. Edmunds and Dr. Nathan B. Eddy of the University of Michigan. It is under direction, the report said, of the federal public health service, Tho report told of the chemical changes which proauced this new substance and- of its effects on ani- mals. The modified morphine is one of 190 of these compounds made at the University of Virginia for investiga: tion of medicinal effects, The work has been carried on un- der direction of the National Re- search Council, Today's report point: ed out that while such ordinary mor- phine effects as pain-killing, depres- sant qualities, respiration changes, digestive results and emetic action may be found on animals, only human beings can be used to show whether the new drugsg are habit-forming. The animal tests show whether modified morphines aro non-poison- ous, and whether they have suflicient new properties to justify further in- vestigation. One of them, the dihydrodesoxy- morphine-D, became so Interesting that the report said "this compound is being subjected to clinical trial at this time." " On the Michigan animals this sub- gtanco showed 10 times the pain-kill- HOW TO KEEP COOL Take an effervescing glass of pleasant tasting Andrews Liver Salt when you begin to feel the heat.
