Newspaper Advertising Advertising, especially in news- papers, is important, Mr. F.C, Ad- sett, of Toronto told the joint con- vention of the Association of Mun- icipal Utilities and the Ontario Mun: icipal Electric Association. An as- sistant engineer in the employ of the Ontario Hydro - Electric Power Commission Mr. Adsett said further: "Local newspapers invariably pro- vide a profitable medium for telling consumers and prospective custom- ers about the advantages of electri- cal services." Likewise,. a daily paper furnishes readers with information concern- ing many lines of business. It is an exceptionally good shopping guide. The highest percentage of advertis- "ing today is through the means of the newspaper. That proves busi- ness executives fully appreciate that this form of advertising pays rich dividends.-- Windsor Star. * Her Privilege New York heiress, who once planned to become a nurse, a night club singer and then a radio artist, has broken off her engagement with the son of a brigadier-general in order to marry a broker.

Holiday For Farmers A new departure in the interests of farm help has been introduced this year by a prominent South On- tario farmer who this week gave all his farm help a week's holiday with pay. Only two men are left on the farm to do the routine duties. This move has been much appreci- ated by the farm hands concerned, and it is expected that they will return to their duties next week much refreshed from the few days holiday. _...The farm owner concerned be: lieves that every farmer could ad- opt this practice if a policy of bal- anced farming were carried out. This means. that crops should be so sown that there is a week's [ul] at the hottest part of the summer, and during this week there is no- thing for the farm "and to do but take a holiday. With the farmers working according to schedule there would be no inconvenience involved in following this practice and the N short holiday afforded the workers would result in improved - work on their return.--Oshawa Times. Fair Sex Reaching Out For nearly a century and a half the wife of every U.S. President has been asked to present one of her full dress gowns to the Smith. sonian Institute at Washington.

They are reaching out longitudinally as well as in every other direction.--isrant- ford Expositor. Russian Gold Mining for gold started in Russia more than a century before the Rand made men rich, but Russia's ouput was often exceeded by Can. ada's until the year 1934. Then a tremendous change took place. So- viet output soared. It passed Can- ada's, and, despite the general in- crease of gold production every- where, due to a demand which made poorer ores valuable, is now close behind South Africa's. -- Hamilton Spectator. - Picture Censorship' Ontario does not want to become the Boston of Canada.

Its main idea is to solve the problem with which the police are now confronted of how to stop. a runaway ,car without adopting the risky expedient of crashifg into it at breakneck speed. Equipped with Sir Malcolm's patent, 'the police pur- suers, on getting within six feet of their prey, can make the steel arm of the law shoot out and grip the bumper or some other part of the vehicle they are chasing, thus en- abling them to .briag it to a stop without a collision, Maybe the alert car bandits, however, might get the idea of countering the police claw by a sudden pull-up that would in- volve a smash to the police car. But whether or not the expert tests prove its utility for practical police work, 1 can see the latest version of the old Roman grapple having a brisk success on the films. --London Letter, in Ottawa Jour- nal, Indian Population Figures recently released at Ot- tawa indicate change in the trend of Canada's Indian population, which was at one time distinctly on the down grade.

THE EMPIRE Razors And Eggs The variety in the loads now car- ried on long-distance air lines is in- dicated by lists which have been compiled recently of freight pass- ing to and fro along "the Quantas Empire Airways sections of the England-Australia route between Brisbane and Singapore. One item was a diving-suit sent urgently to Darwin for use in pearl fishing. Yet another was an act of Parliament which was being forwarded to Eng- land for royal signature. Another was a consignment' containing a number of models of theatrical scen- ery. an A summary of some other items vields the following list: Radium, electric razors, gas mantles, 'micro- scope parts, medicines, natural his- tory specimens shark skins and film. One interesting item, recently, was a setting of eggs which went right through from London to Syd- ney, being consigned to a poultry fancier in that city. , --Imperial Airways Bulletin. .

Square, is showing a collection which em- braces all the types of suits and include both plain and fur-trimmed topcoats. ' ' Among the daytime suits, and distinct from the classic tailleurs, there is an interesting silhouette achieved by a jutted forward collar, |- a short jacket flat at front with a full back peplum and flat fronted rear. This movement is shown typi- cally in a dark red woollen suit with beaver fronts, collar and pointed yoke at back, which incidentally illus- trates another feature of the collect- ion--that -of building up the suit or coat with flat fur as an integral part of the design. Constructional interest is another interesting point. There is a brown hairy surfaced woollen suit trimmed with brown Persian lamb which. re- peats its jacket cuts in the skirt and seams the latter in tunic effect, which shows this feature of workmanship particularly well. : The majority of winter coats are full-length ones, fitted in the bodice with moderate flare, frequently to- ward thé back, in the skirt section. Yokes, sleeve-tops, deep cuffs and convertible collars make use of Indian ant Persian lamb and beaver. Sonie of these are combined with soft, tailored dresses in a ' lighterweight version of the woollen coating. : For country wear there are tweed jacket suits and silk or wool skirts with big rough contrasting tweed topcoats. Dark brown over natural is a typical color scheme and here again full-length coats predominate although an occasional seven-eighth one with. slight back flare is used, The featured colors in the daytime models are - soft heather greens and black. Yellow is liked for shirts and accessories. 'For town wear the woollens are monotones with surface interest in the way of. ribs, clubs and hairs, while colorful mix- ture tweeds are liked for the country group. .

Milk Income Rises in U. §. for. a considerable the announcement $28,000,000 Higher Than First Six Months of Last Year NEW YORK--Cash income from milk brought American dairy farmers a total of $633,000,000 in the first six months of 1936, the best return in five years, the milk industry found- ation announced recently. i The figures were around $28,000,- 000 ahead "of the total income from 'milk in the same the report stated. "Milk still remains the farmer's best source of income," the found- ation report stated, "despite the grad- ual betterment in all farm prices. The 1936 improvement has been material- ly aided by the rising tide of con- sumer buying power in cities, where efficient milk distribution has created wider markets." - The foundation stated that while the drought in many dairy states has curtailed production, the higher prices mow being paid for supplies will tend to prevent any decrease in dairy farm income compared with 1935 during the remainder ofthe year.

Lightest Wood a. Balsa. is' the lightest wood in ithe world. 'This remarkable tree is a 'native of 'Central America and ithe 'West Indies. The wood is about half the weight: of cork, one-third the weight of white pine, and one-sev- enth the weight of hickory. In spite of its lightness balsa is elastic. and fairly strong. It is used for floats, rafts, as lifeboat fenders and for insulating purposes. Its ex- traordinary lightness is due to the thin-walled barrel-shaped cells, filled with air and almost devoid of wood fibre, of which balsa is..composed. Before it can be of practical use, 'balsa has to be treated with a wood preservative, the chief ingredient of which is paraffin, : Balsa grows rapidly, trees attain- ing a height of 50 ft., with 12 inch diameter in four or five years. They bear enormous leaves, sometimes 21g feet long.

Overheating of The Anitnals on Farm Danger Signals Not to Be Neglected on Hot Days The vital processes of an animal - body are of such a nature that they can only be carried on in a normal manner when 'a certain degree of tem- perature is heing"malntained. The source. of body heat'{s the food that, _ as well" as the tissues themselves, slowly combines with the oxygen of the air. The-regulation of the temper- ature is largely brought about by the heat given off by the skin, the lungs and that carried away with heat given' oft by the skin, the body wastes. The skin is the most important ot all 'heat regulators in many animals, and: to a large extent it 'does this by the formation of sweat. When this moisture -evaporates it abstracts the heat from the surface. If the air is - hot and moist, the evaporation of the sweat fs retarded bythe body. This is. not 'particularly. serious as tong-as the: animal is at rest, but when the muscles" are at 'work, more heat is produced and when a hot, humid: at- -moaphere prevents its prompt remo- val, trouble fs likely to.be the:resuit. That is what happens when horses become overworked in the field, and when hogs are being handled or ship- ped 'during hot, humid weather. For. that reason, horses should be worked cautiously during the hottest weath- er, be given plenty of water to induce sweat and: plenty of resting periods in order to dispose of some of the sur- Plus body heat. on, .
