Chance For Riches Years ago the Ontario Government made a standing offer of $25,0000 for the discovery of radium minerals in paying quantities, and all that Algoma prospectors have to do to win the prize is to find the vein of coracite which was noted in the 1863 report on the Geology of Canada, page 504.

Milk, * the Memorandum states, is the only food which in itselt nearly fulfills all the conditions of .complete food. The properties of milk, it is stated, also makes for easy digestion. As the result of much experimental evidence, the Memorandum states, "it has been shown that cows' milk is the most valuable food known for the promotion of growth and health for children." Children should have from one to two pints a day, expectant mothers and nursing mothers about two pints, and other adults about one-half pint.

It was not an original idea of his; he mere- ly changed the colour from the Gari- baldi red to plack, the former hue since Garibaldi's days, But he cer tainly re-introduced the idea to the modern world, where it has proved the most infectious of diseases. Ger- many has come out in brown, Ireland In blue, Sir Oswald Mosley. (lacking originality) in black, Egypt in green and now in blue. The general notion behind the "Blue Shirts," here, at its inception at least, is somewhat- more pacific than the other shades. Though they are urged to dye. them red if ne- cessity, "obedience" is the first word in their breviary The Young Watdists are to obey orders from their chiefs, do when the political leaders tried to make them go back to work, In a cer- tain sense, it is out of this disobed- fence that the "Blue Shirts" have grown. So long as they stick to their first princinles, they may be useful to their country. Obedience and dis- cipline are two things that are badly needed among Egypt's youth. They are hard, lessons to learn, and it will be interesting to see what phe "Blue Shirts" make of them. -- The Sphinx, Cairo. ) The Origins of Kingship The ancient British love of- a 'lead- ership which had a spark of the div- ine in It, a hint of the absolute, ow- ing its creation to no man or group' of men, was too deeply rooted to be eradicated.

An appeal has been issued for §100- 000, the amount required for a clinic on the outskirts of London. The pian, formulated by the Institute for the Scientific Treatment of Deliquency-- at present limited in scope -- provides for mind treatment. The Home Office has been interest- ed in the scheme and an official, com- menting on a similar experiment at Wormwood Scrubs during the past two years, said "the authorities are satisfied the results so far justily the continuance of the experiment, which may lead to revolutionary changes in the state's attitude to crime." Miss Evelyn Mackenzie, secretary of the institute said a "crime hospi: tal" would be one of the greatest pos. sible value. "Many crimes are comit- ted through wickedness or weakness, but many too are due to disease, men- tal or physical," she stated.

"In lowering the birth rate," he satd "people do not really save money. They merely use their wages on un- patriotic things instead of supporting national work. i } "The population of Oslo spends $1, 000,000 a year for moving pictures, which means that the film compan- les from Hollywood get that to which Norwegian farmers and food produc- ers have a moral claim." As a result of the lowering birth rate, Oslo today has 39,000 children under 15, whereas the normal number should be 109,000.

Skyway Hostesses Must Meet Preity if Requisites One Air-Line Has 2,000 Ap- plications for Stewardess Jobs NEW YORK -- Requirements are strict, yet thousands of young women are secking the comparatively few hostess jobs available on passenger ships of the U.S. air lines, : 'Six* years ago the first major U.S. transport line announced it was add- ing women to its regular crews. Since then the beauty, charm -and bravery of the hostesses who cruise the skies have become traditlonal -- and appli cations from young women have now crammed the files of the major com. panies, One line has 2000 applications but insists there Is a shortage of qua- lified women. : Generally stated, the air-minded young women must fill these require- ments if she would don the pert uni- form of the stewardess, She must be a graduate registered nurse. : Her height must not be more than: five feet, four, nor may she weigh more than 120 pounds, She must not he more than 20 years old, ' She must have an engaging person- ality, be solicitous of the comfort of others and eapable of perfarming a variety of tasks, from explaining the fundamentals of aerial navigation to helping change a diaper. One of the air lines operates a schaol to polish jts stewardesses, the classes going into such things as pas- travellers comfortable, serving lunch- es and answering questions about the geography of the routes flown. ' The stewardess must be a register- ed nurse explains an air line repres entative "because the institutionally trained girl has an understanding of discipline and a knowledge of how to deal with the public that is required in the job of stewardess." The stewardess may not be "beau tiful but dumb." She must have sense enough to car- ry her end of almost any conversa- tion. She must have poise in the pre sence of the great and near great, for many in these classilications travel by air_--- politicians and movie stars, opera singers and captains of indus- try.

Plans to Rule Produce 'Control Bill for 'Export and Home Sales Is Given "First Reading WELLINGTQN, New Zealand -- The primary préticts bill, which gives the New Zealand - government full control of all produce for both export and domestic markets, passed the first reading in thé House of As- sembly last week. The bill also creates a new ministry of marketing and a primary products marketing department. It is intended to protect the producers of primary products from the effect of fluctua- tions of the market prices by enabling the governmentsto acquire ownership of, or control sale and distribution of such products as are intended for internal consumption. But at the beginning of the new scheme will deal with only dairy products and pork, bacon and calves. Butter and cheese will be dealt with first. Export prices for next season will be fixed on the basis of prices over the last eight to 10 years, A dairy industry account will be opened with the Reserve Bank with the power to overdraw, The bill provides power for the transfer to the new minister nf any powers vested in meat, fruit and other export boards, and adds all freight contracts for export must be made by, or approved by the min- ister, \ senger pyschology, how to make air | who have given up their work to the Home Field of School Nurse Valuable Asset to Com- "munity, Finds Many Hindrances - PR - 1" "TORONTO -- Miss Sally Lucas Jean, health education conswdtant of the Department of Indian Affairs, Washington, told a weeting of the Ontario Educational Association that the trained public health nurse was one. of the most valuable assets a community could have, but that she was not always allowed to use her professional ability to the degree her training warranted. Her place, said Miss Jean, was not in the classroom instructing children in health, but rather in.the homes and in the community, Serving to cre- ate confidence in scientific health pro- cedures, explaining, persuading and organizing, so that the school physi- clan's advice might be put into effect. The addition of school luncheons for the pupils who are not able to get home was another measure urged by Miss Jean. When pupils were able to bring their own lunches, hot dish- es of some kind, such as cocoa or soun, should be provided to supple- ment the cold food. Mass meetings of the parents In the schools, clubs and churches were important to the promotion of healthy children, Miss Jean beliey- ed. It was only by instilling in the minds of the parents the importance of health rules that the children could be trained along correct lines. W. P.

H, J. Snider tells, through Miss Ida Guy of Oshawa, a dramatic adventuré-sot her childhood: On June 12, 1875, Capt. Allen was bringing the "Pioneer" up with a load. of coal for Cobourg, from Qs- wego to Fairhaven. They were well out in the like, off Presqu'isle, and coming along with a fine breeze. Mrs, Paquet, the cook. put dinner on the table and rang the bell, Capt, Allen, whose watch it had been on deck, started down the companion steps to take, his place at the head of the cabin table, his hungry crew follow ing. As he did so the pioneer heeled a little more under a puff. "Don't come to the table till you've been to the pumps, captain," called Mrs, Pa- quet, "that puff brought water up on the coiner of the cabin floor." "Come out-of that yourself, wo- man, and bring the little girl with vou," shouted the captain. ! The little girl was 12-year-old Ida Guy of Oshawa, sister of W. EK, J. Guy of Toronto, who was making the -trip- as Capt. Allen's guest, He had the sounding rod down the pump-well before they reached the deck. There was seven feet of wa- ter in her; she was only seven {cet deep in the hold amidships. "Bring her to the wind," called Capt. Alien to the map at the wheel, Clear the vawlhoat and lower away. Into hes everybody." The Pioneer, loggy and saving very slowly with her zreat toad of water. lay down wearily on her side as the yawlhoat tackies creaked.

Allen jumped off the rail the Pioneer vanished, taking their din- ner with her, The vessel must have opened up unexpectedly and titled almost to the latches, since the previous sovndingg of the pumps.
