Perhaps the car in some cases Is safer for the community," said Edward Fuller; of the Save the Children Fund, at' the. National Conference on Maternity and Child Welfare here recently, "At least," he added, "you get a book of instructions with a new car, and you have to pass a ministry of transport test before you can get a driving license. "No book of instructions is fssued "with a new 'baby, and no test or II <cense is required before undertaking the responsibility of parenthood. | wil lnot discuss the advantages of the tests for parenthood, but there is much to be said for the 'book' of in. structions.' ; Delivering the presidential address Georfirey Shakespeare parliamentary secretary of the ministry of health, sald motherhood was safer in this country than in any oth®r, with the possible exception of Holland, 'The rate of maternal mortality in England and Wales for 1935 was 4.10 per 1,000 live births, the lowest figure record- ed since 1926. "There had been a steady develop- ment. in welfare work, and all expec- tant mothers, he said, should regard it as normal to take advantage of the medical facilities for examination and advice provided for by the .public au. thorities. ; . HE Mr. Shakespeare said 1935 had witnessed establishment of a new low record in the rate of deaths of Infants under the age of one, the figure for England and Wales being 657 deaths per 1,000 live births as against 130 in the year 1911, . : Speaking of the care of the newly- born child, Dr, A, Leyland Robinson, professor of obstetrics and gynaeco- . logy at Liverpool University, sald: "It is a startling thought that the first month is the most dangerous period of life,.and that the first half- hour of our existence is probably. the most critical part of this crucial per- fod." § - ' H. Cross, Central Union of Fathers' Councils said: "It is for the father to "realize that the care and management of the family is a joint affair that can- not be relegated to the mother alone without unpleasant consequences all around." Keep Rolling Along What a curicus thing is human behavior! (Government appointments to the directorates of the new set- ups of the National Railways and Radio are not to be made for some time, observes the Ottawa Journal. Perhaps not until the Fall. Yet only "a few months ago- Parliament was - seething with excitement about the :proposed - changes," The Government said that changes were vital, in- escapable, Indeed, it (the - Govern- ment) would be recreant to its trust if it didn't make thém. Our railways and radio--they just had to be saved. Well, they haven't been "saved." "Not yet. More than five weeks have gone since Parliament provided for their saving, but Judge Fullerton is still running 'the Canadian National and Mr, Charlesworth is still running radio, and we haven't noticed that either institution has been ruined, or that anybody continues to be excit- . ed about them. They just keep rolling along. With most things in life, it is pre- cisely that way. We fret and fuss over things we think we must do, say that if we don't do them some- thing terrible will happen, and then, the thing or things done (or left un- donk) we' discover that little happens. ,Men have 'a passion for change. And a propensity for exaggeration. We magnify mole-hills into moun- ~tains, make storms. that would fit neatly into teacups, get to believe be wrong, We imagine ourselves import- ant, fee! that if we don't do certain things, or pass certain laws, or change something or somebody, the earth will cease revolving. It is just imagination. Most of us are but tiny drops in an ocean of infinity. Earrings Appear On * The Paris Golf Course Earrings are worn by smart Pari siennes even with golf costumes. For sports "junky" jewelry is allow- ed, although for itown and formal wear even cheap jewelry must imitate precious or semi-precious styles, For . golf, colored compositions like gala- lith. are used to imake small white daisies - with colored centres, also squares; made of bicolor bandings, bat balls encircled in another color, and similar designs are worn, invari. bly matching in tint with scart or umper, : a] Capable ot Lena M. Phillips Believes Woman Would Make Ex- cellent President of U.S. A leading American feminist be- lieves that at least 12 American wo- men are as competent in administra- tive ability, training and background to be President of the United States as the majority of men who have held the office. While American political parties comb the field for Presidential timber, Lena Madesin- Phillips, named seven women. who, she thought, could fill the job. Among the seven mentioned are Mrs, Franklin Roosevelt, Ruth Bryan Owen, Frances Perkins, a former member of Congress (Ruth Simms), Judge Florence Allen, Josephine Rodie, mining executive and Assist- ant Secretary of the Treasury; and Lillian Gilbreth, university instruct, anu consulting engineer. = Most of the women have béen v-arried and five have children. In fact, Dr. Gilbreth is the mother of 12... . Miss Phillips believes the day is sure to come when a woman will be installed in the White House. These women, she says, have suf- ficient understanding of "fundamental social and economic problems" for the job and "women in general have a more. detached approach to poli- | tical] problems than men, and there- fore fewer axes to giind." Miss Phillips. has no patience with the widespread discussion of the economic, result of "women's taking men's jobs." "The truth is," she says, "that men have taken ours. In the old days womer made the clothes and the -candles for lights, and originated the process of canning vegetables and fruits. "Then came the machine age and men began to take up our jobs -- to make clothes, cook, build gas and electric plants and -erect canning factories. In a comparatively .short time they took most of our jobs and them complained when we went into factories to try to get them back. "A woman has a right to earn her living on the same terms as a man. "When she loses her job what hap- peng? She begins to make her own dresses, hats, bread and .canned goods --all the things that. she previously bought in store--and that is no help to a country's industries."

In Day or Wight Toronto -- -- President Roosevelt| y Rigor and Bathurst Sunburn Ts More Than Skin Deep Kidneys 'Often Suffer from Effects of a Bad. "Burn A severe sunburn is not a minor, or skin-deep affair, warns Mary M. O'Donnell, in the New York Sun. One of the frequent sequences is nephri- tis (Bright's disease). If an attack of sunburn laid you low even one day, the chandes that your kidneys suf- fered, with aching, burning and com- plete exhaustion, are about even, The sad part of this is that the nephritis may go on undetected until a subsequent illness even years later reveals a chronic nephritis, The ori- gin of this will be a mystery to you if yournever knew that sunburn could start up a nephritis, which is an in- flammation of the kidneys. A good rule to follow after a sic- kening sunburn is 'to consult a physi- cian, Have a specimen of urine ex- amined. If the result of the analysis is nogative, well and good, the neph- ritis was transient and no damage has been done. But if it is still present (the urine will show albumen, pus cells and possible casts) you will need treatment. Burned skin, even mildly, over half: or three-quarters of the body obtained in one exposure invariably causes a toxemia, which makes one tired, thirsty, languid and stuporous, if not acutely ill, The skin is one of the trio of elim- inators which nature relies upon. If the skin is burned the pores are closed, they cease to function and ex- cess work is put upon the kidneys. To help them-rest is imperative, and li- quids should be increased. That "dragged-through-a-knot-hole feeling" should be recognized. It is a .ature's warning that she is being taxed and needs assistance. If time can be spared one hour twice a day will help 'considerably. Expend the minimum of energy in taking a bath and the maximum of time to get the best result. ol The amount of solid food should be cut in half for all heat sufferers and the amount of liquids should be in- creased y half. As much as two or if properly spaced. Two or three pieces of candy*eaten during the fore- noon and afternoon will quickly sup- ply enough energy for the average person and will compensat for the absence of meat, eggs and starchy foods. This hot weather advice applies to those who suffer from excessive pers- piration 'as well. The excretion of li- quid (sweat) in an immodertte am- ount dries up the tissues and a toxic condition comparable to the after ef- fect of one who indulges not wisely byt too well. In brief, to lessen sunburn se- quences one heeds more rest, two baths a day taken slowly, less solids by one-half, more liquids by one-half and four to six pieces of candy a day. This applies to children as well as adults.

More Cigarettes Smoked in Canada OTTAWA, -- The consumption of cigarettes In Canada {is steadily in. creasing, but not to the extent indic ated by a recent despatch. The In- advertant dropping of figures: made the consumption five years ago ap pear to be four hiindred million, and whereas it should have been four bil fon, four hundred millions. In the last fiscal year consumption rose to five billion three hundred and ten million -- an {ncrease of 910 millions, which is quite a few cigarettes. Issue No. 32 -- '36 16 three quarts a day can be assimilated | According to the: Associated Press reports, rallroad economists afe és: timating that the majority of, Amer- ican tarmers will be richer as a result of the drought which has brought the hardship and ruin to the many during the last few weeks, wrote the "Christ. fan Science Monitor. The theory is that unless dry wea: ther had destroyed part of the crop there would have been a market glut which would have driven prices to low levels. Total cash returns would have been smaller than on a medium-sized crop with good prices, This theory has been experienced as fact by a great many farmers on several oc- casions In the past, [t explains the support many of them have given ra- ther reluctantly to governmental measures to curtail prgduction. Their. natural inclination is to pro- duce as much as possible. But increas. ingly farmers are counting their re turns in money, and when 1,000 bush- els are worth more than 1600 the ag- ricultural producer imitates the in- dustrial producer -- he plays the mon- opoly game, He tries to restrict sup- ply In order to improve prices. Recently In the United States he has had help from Washington. He says manufacturing has long had sim- ilar help through tariffs which res- trict imports in order to keep the prices up. And he argues that if crop curtailment {a beneficial to farmers, then crop curtailffient by weather is beneficial for farmers, then crop cur- tailment by agreement -- with no far- mer ruined and all sharing in improv- ed prices -- {is even better, If the drought is a boon, so is a plowing: under program. We may not like the theory or the practice. 'We may make distinctions between farm and factory produc- tion. Yet we must recognize that fatmers will not raise much if the conununity pays them more for little, What then of the community? Cer- tainly the drought {s no boon to it. It will have less to eat und pay more for it. How can that situation be changed? How can the growing practice oft monopolism be checked? A begins ning might be made if production were viewed from the consumers' standpoint, rather than from that of the producer of a given commodity. And if it is recognized that national wealth 1s measured ultimately in goods, not dollars. The community then.r 'ght move to prevent plowing under either by factory or farm. Cer- tainly it would not by government action promote curtailmen: of wealth for the benefit of certain groups. It would not produce the same effect as a drought, which, however much it may help even a majority of farm. ers, makes the whole nation poorer. Wheat Yield Is ~ Low In Britain Crop Expected to Be Less Satisfactory Than in 1935 LONDON, Eng.,--According to the Daily Mail, the British wheat crop is likely to be less satisfactory this year than in 1935. The Ministry of Agricylture con- tends it is too early yet to/speak defi- nitely of an alleged world shortage of wheat, It says that the real de- termining factors are the Argentine and Australian crops. If these prove average, no shortage is likely in the United Kingdom. The Daily Mail also quotes the min- istry as saying "it seems at present that Canada, the source of our main supply, likely will have a good Crop with conditions thére mainly favor- able." } Nevertheless, Canadian Minister of Agriculture Gardiner {s reported by the Daily Express as saying: "The latest information is not cheerful. Drought has reduced the crop nearly 60 per cent." "I am grateful for the unusual blessings which have come to me in my life." i --John D.
