Pop Clark and the Detroit manager were in conference all morning. Two more of the Detroit men had signified their unwillingness, to play against the Blues. The manager was frantic, It was finally at Pop's suggestion that a wire was sent to the Czar of Base- ball back in New York. The curious mobs in the hotel had become a problem and the police were called in to help. The Detroit players roamed about the hotel restlessly, looking very glum. One of the men pulled a tele- gram from his pocket and showed it to the others. It read: "Don't go on playing.

(To be Continued) New Theory: About Air Disasters A new and mighty Interesting theory as to the cause of many air plane accidents was advanced before the American Medical Association at Atlantic City the other day by Dr, Al van L. Barach, of New York. He af firms that a "what the. hell?" attitude which air-plane pilots find it impos sible to overcome at high altitudes is caused by a deficiency of oxygen elther in flying for a brief period at a great height or for a- considerable time at a medium altitude. This af. tects both heart and brain, and ren ders the pilot unable to read his in: struments to keep his- sense of bal ance, or to co-ordinate his muscles in the perfect timing so essential in fly: ing, and makes him feel that nothing | is, very important. To counteract this danger, Dr. Bar. ach would have all airline companies provide thelr pilots with a reserve oxygen supply both for the sake of the flying public and the health of the aviators themselves, If Dr. Bar ach's theory is correct -- and it ought to be susceptible of easy proof and ought to be tested at once--then the remedy is in the hands of the companies and there should be no de- lay on their part in availing them: selves of it. The increasingly large number of airplane catastrophies dur thing is radically wrong somewhere. The result of Dr. Barach's report will be awaited with keen interest by all who have the safety of the flying pub- lic at heart. Home, Not Structures, * " Held Need of The People LONDON.--The five basic prin. ciples of life that lead to health and happiness have been laid down by Lord Horder, the King's doctor. They are: 1.

But figures of the Workmen's Com- pensation Board tend to indicate that either married life is more hazardous, or that "affer marriage the man fis filled with a sense of hopelessness and doesn't care it he does get hit by a steam shovel, falls' down a manhole of takes off a few fingers in a buzz. Baw. Latest figures indicate that just as soon as you have said "I do," your chances of getting injured while at work are doubled, and the chance you will be killed is three and a half times as great. There were 24.018 ac- cidents, and 14,494 of them involved married men. Of the remainder, 9, 050 were single men, 412 widowed, 62 "not specified". But married men are even more vulnerable where fatal accidents are concerned. One hundred and fifty- two married men lost their lives in industrial .mishaps, but casualties among bachelors totalled only 44 out of the total 203 deaths. Widows ap- parently bear a charmed life, com- paratively speaking, for their deaths totalled only four. You also learn reading the report that more people get hurt as a result of falls on the level than from eleva. tions, but that your chances of dying as a result of a fall are greater if the fall is from an elevation, rather than on the level. There were 367 falls from heights, 11 being fatal. But while there were 6,014 falls on the level, only six were fatal. ; Saskatchewan's Hard Luck Drought has struck again at the people of Saskatchewan. For halt a decade now the farmers of the Prov- ince have seen the dryness eat the fertility from their fields. In the last three years the crop failure in the southern sections has been complete. But this Snoring the people, with their indomitable optimism, looked forward hopefully to a season that would put them on their feet. With the wheat carry-over of the Dominion reduced to almost nothing and crop prospects good, they hoped that the years of bitter hardships were over. Then came the hot rainless weather of recent weeks that once again scorched the wheat flelds and turned the soil into dust. Now, according to the latest reports, 1937 is going to be worse than any of the- previous lean years. The loss of commercial crop in Southern Saskatchewan is sald to be complete, and the drought area has spread out far to the north. In a territory of over 100,000 square miles it is probable that the farmers will not be able to harvest a crop worth carting to the railroad. Sections of aMnitoba and Alberta are affected, but the great burden of disaster will again fall on Saskatche- wan. With the finances of the Prov- ince already shattered by successive blows, the Dominion Government will probably have to assist in the relief work. ™he misfortune of the farmers on the scorched prairies is a blow to all Canada and will be felt by the whole Dominion. The spirit shown by the Saskatchewan people through the famine years has drawn the ad- miration of the rest of the country. And they will have the full sympathy from all the provinces in their latest and severest trail, More Practice Is Urged for Nurses ~ While Training Personality Important, New York Speaker States-- Toronto Gir] Is Elected First Vice-President LONDON--A plea that undergradu- ate nurses be given opportunities to practise while training was urged by Miss Mary S. Mathewson, of McGill University, at the nurses' congress. A nurse had a right to expect an opportunity to practise under sympa- thetic supervision during her under- graduate perlod, Miss Mathewson said, rather than as a frightened and fnefficient private nurse after 'gradu- ating. "If a hospital does not afford such opportunities, some other way must be found or nursing will be unable to meet its obligations," she said. Miss May Kennedy, of New York, told the congress the chief complaint against nurses today is not that they do not recognize symptoms, but that they cannot get along with people. Present-day nurses may be able to take temperatures; feel pulses and test respiration efficiently, she sald, but they cannot adapt themselves to changing situations; they may be able to give treatments properly, but their personalities are unacceptable to their patients, .

The Summer is not the time to spend long hours cooking heavy meals and yet variety, flavour and nourishment are still in demand :.8 far as meals go. There rte plenty of times, too, when we wish we had a new kind of sandwich to take to the picnic or some delightful snack to serve on the porch of a hot summer evening.

A hot waffle shortcake is the perfect thing to serve when there are just a few present. It's a grand des. sert any time of the year but will prove especially welcome now. Waffles cups sifted cake flour tablespoons baking powder egg yolks, well beaten cup milk tablespoons melted butter egg whites, stiffly beaten. Sift flour once, measure, add bak- ing powdcr and salt and sift again. Combine egg yolks, milk and butter. Add to flour, beating until smooth. Fold in egg whites. Bake in a hot waffle iron. When done, brush with melted butter and spread jam over half of waffle and fold over. . Cut in half and dust each portion with powdered sugar, and serve hot. Will make four 4-section waffles. French toast with jam {is a very nice change from the usual French toast with syrup or sugar and cinna- mon. It is a particularly welcome change at breakfast and Is also a good lunch or supper dish. It's really just bread, milk eggs'and jam and so is fine for the children who love it. And now for. something new in sandwiches. A book could be written about sandwiches alone--a different kind could be served every day for a decade. They lend themselves to so many variations! Breau should be cut thin for sand wiches, edges should be neat, and the filling and butter spread evenly to 'edge of the bread. Day-old bread of close, firm texture is the best to use.

Dame Alicia Still, matron of St. Thomas' Hospital, presiding, warned against over-emphasis of the educa- tional phase of nursing. "We are in danger of making a study of nursing instead of becoming "informed and skilled through prac- ties," she said. "We need both gelence and art, but it must be ap- plied science and practical art." Isobel Stewart, formerly of the Winnipeg General Hospital, read the report of the education committee which recommended the study of a curriculum drafted by the Canadian Nurses' Association as "being worthy of the interest and study of the world nursing organizations."

Preventing Crooked Teeth In Children ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.--Dr. Da- vid McLean, of Los Angeles, promul- gated before the American Dental Association th's week seven rules for preventing crooked teeth in chil dren: 1--Don't allow. a. baby to lie on its face. The soft, growing bones will grow crooked and the teeth will be misplaced. oo. 2--Don't permit children to lea their faces or chins on their hands or fists. The head weighs 10 to 1b pounds and its we'ght will warp growing jaws. 3--Don't give a baby a pacifier. All sucking habits cause crooked teeth. 4--Discourage mouth breathing. The flow of air gradually destroys the teeth. 5--Have defective "baby" teeth filled because premature extraction is a common cause of crooked teeth, 6--After the fourth birthday have the dentist look out for signs of crooked teeth, T--Give the child plenty of milk, butter, cheese and green leaf veget- ables to harden bones.

Essentials That Make A Success In Dairy Farming Treatment Given Dairy Cow Fundamental Principle In The Industry In planning a ration for the dairy cow, contrary to what many dairy- men think, the most important part of the ration Is the roughage. W¢ spear of roughage as cheap feed as compared with grain. In one sense it "#3 cheap feed. On the other hand, it it has to be purchased it is relatively mote expensive than grain. To grow the right kind of roughage for their cows, should be the endeavor of every dairyman. Corn stalks and timothy hay is not what the dairy cow ought to have. She needs a better uality of roughage. - The cow is a machine that manu- factures a peculiar product. The com. position ofo milk varies but little each day. It is not difficult to find the kind of feeds that she can use to best advantage. Because she does a dif ferent work from other farm ani mals, she must have different feeds that will furnish her the raw mas terials from which she can manus facture milk. She is so constituted that she can use large amounts of roughages. In selecting thesd rough: ages care must be used to provide those that furnish milk-making prop- erties, such as clover and alfalfa hay and silage during the winter and drought seasons and good pastures during the balance of the year, These supplemented with at least two or three grains properly balanced, will keep her working efllciently. A cow makes her milk out of dit- ferent kinds of feed in rather differ: ent proportions. If the ration {s not properly balanced her ability to take the excesc kinds of feed and make them over into the kinds which she lacks is ver: limited. Her milk flow Is limited thereby in two ways, lack of some necessary kinds of materials and the necessity for using some of the energy that should be used in making .allk to get out of her system _ the feeds which she cannot use. Enough Water In addition there must be enough water to supply the needs of the cow's system, and to bring all feeds into a complete solution before it can be used to convey the waste and poisonous materials from her body through the skin, kidneys, digestive organs and lungs, and to regulate body temperature. Milk-is 87 per cent. water. It is not surprising therefore, that even ordin- ary producers need from 12 to 15 gallons of water per day, and heavy producers will drink even more. A cow's' production is limited by the 'water she drinks, and if she must drink from dirty ponds or go a long distance in summer, or drink Ice wat. er in winter, or get all she needs for the day a* one time, the amount she drinks will be inadequate to supply her bodily needs, and to run her milk factory at full capacity. She will sup- ply her bodily nceds first and uso what Is left for milk. Plenty of clean, pure water available at all times fis essential to economic milk produc: tion Keep Cow Comfortable The comfortable cow produces. The good producer {8 a very highly organized animal and is easily affect. ed by surrounding influences. A cold rain, a fright, a sudden change in teed or a change in milkers will often influence the milk flow. Spring days when the sun is not too hot, when grass is luxuriant, when there are no flies, are days of maximum and most economic milk production. The far mer should provide protection from "| sun, a cool dark place, protected from flies. He should have a shelter from storms and cold rains and wind. He should see that the feed is palatable and the water of the right tempera- ture. Knows HIis Business The dairy farmer who studies his business knows: First, production necessary per cow to insure a nice profit. Second, the kind of feed which he must raise himself to get the great: est production. Third, the combipa- tion of feeds necessary to keep his cows working at their greatest efll- ciency. Fourth, that an abundant supply of pure clean water available at all times is absolutely essential for success. Fifth, that the comfortable cow Is tho one that uses her feed for the maximum production. In the most successful dairy com- munities there are farmers who are very successful, while there are those who are barely making a living. These varyin, degrees of success or failure cannot be explained by difference in soils or market conditions, but must depend on the efficiency with which the man in question handles the plant, Brief Comment Why you should eat bread--be- cause no method of drinking the stuff has yet been discovered.--Lon- don Sunday Pictorial.
