During the same period last year the figures were--births 47,- 430, deaths 32,481, marriages 20,- 871. Labor Minister Named Speaker of the Ontario Legisla- ture since 1934, Hon. Norman C. Hipel, of Preston, Ont., will enter the cabinet of Premier M. F. Hep- burn as minister of labor. The portfolio has been administered by the minister of lands and forests since death of the former labor minister, Hon, M. M. MeDBride. Urges Nation To Take Over Food Control Virtual nationalization of the food industry of Great Britain, and the creation of boards to en- sure low prices in the interest of public health, are advocated in a sensational document which has been drawn up by a body of emin- ent scientists and public adminis- trators who have been studying the grave effects of malnutrition in the country. Famous Scient'sts The memorandum, isstied by the Committee Against Malnutrition, points out that the majority of people of Great Britain at present cannot afford to buy certain es- sential foodstuffs. Among the famous scientists contributing to this memorandum, are Dr. Julian Huxley, secretary of the Zoological Society; W. E. Le Gros Clark, Oxford professor of anatomy; A. St. G. Huggert, professor of physiology at London University; Sir F. Gowland Hop- kins, professor of bio-chemistry at Cambridge University, and V. H, Mottram, dietetic expert of Lon- don University. Food boards, the scientists say, should be established under the control of a responsible cabinet minister to control prices in such a way as to ensure supplies which are not at present ensured by the operation of the law of supply and demand. To Ensure Good Quality The boards would also market ( these supplies through public con- - cerns, thus ensuring and good quality. It is argued that a steadily ris- ing demand for foodstuffs would encourage the producers to be much more enterprising. It is also advocated that the Government make itself respons- ible for free dinners for all school children. low prices Boys' Canoe Trip 300 Miles Long Rochester Lads Navigated Ot- tawa River Rapids Alone The call of the wild still ringing in their ears, two Rochester boys arrived home last week after a §00- mile canoe trip through Canadian lakes and rivers. - - ' The lads, Bernard and Justin Brown, 17 and 15, arrived at the port of Rochester, 46 days after leaving the city.

'Will you please advise me if lime would take the place of fer- tilizer (second place) when prepar- ing the spring soil for seeding, and also on the corn soil, and would it benefit the hay and pastures? 1 do not feel that I can afford to buy commercial fertilizer, and 1 have heard lime is a good substitute, and much cheaper. I have been told my land needs lime." -- W. C. M. of Lincolmn Co. A. Regarding the use of lime 1 would say definitely that lime will not take the place of (fertilizers, any more than a horse will take the place of a dairy cow. Lime is used to sweeten the soil; fertiliz- ers carry plant constituents such as Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid, and Potash, none of which are carried by lime. If your soil needs lime to correct ' its acidity, lime is what you must add because fertilizer will not cor- rect soil acidity. What you had better do is to send a sample of your soil to the Department of Chemistry, and let us test it and advise you what treatment the soil requires. In sending the sample, | would sug- gest that you send about a cupful in a small cotton bag. 2. Q. "Last Fall | sowed some Fall Wheat along with fertilizer. The Wheat was treated and stood too long, and it did not come up, Will the fertilizer be of any value to any other grain that [I will sow this Spring on the same land? Or would it be advisable to sow the Spring Wheat on the same land? Is there more than one kind of Spring Wheat, and if so, which kind is the best. I. J. of Halton Co. 4 A. There is no reason why Spring Wheat, or any other Spring grain sown on your I'all Wheat field should not benefit from the fertili- zer that was applied to your Fall Wheat where the Wheat did not come up. I would suggest:that in sowing the spring grain you fol- low the same direction as when the Fall Wheat was sown, It is general- ly found that fertilizer drilled in with grain gives better results than the same fertilizer broadcast. This is because it is concentrated near the roots of the young growing crop. Hence, iw you drill along the same drill rows as followed when Fall Wheat was sown, in all prob- ability you will strike the same drill rows in a great many instanc- es, whereas, if you cross the rown, the benefit will occur simply on 'the four corners where the drill TOWS Cross. Officer Blinded Watching Eclipse Sightless for Days, South Afri- can's Vision New Restored CAPE TOWN.--Suddenly going blind while on his beat, a city po- liceman named Barnard was found by another officer groping his way along trying to find police head- quarters. Removed to hospital, the sug- gestion was made the case was one of "eclipse blindness" caused by watching the eclipse of the sun the day before without sufficient protection for the eyes. Blindness thus caused has often resulted in permanent loss of sight. Fortunately, after four days' treatment, Barnard found that he could see, though imperfectly. Blindness returned at intervals of a few hours, accompanied by vio- lent pains in the head; but after a day or two Barnard found his sight completely. restored and there are hopes now that he has been permanently cured.

As ard Coleman Gasoline Lantern, Model No. 242-B, was placed in a wind-tunnel--a device designed to create winds of any desired velocity for use in the test- ing of airplane parts and construc- tion, The lantern then 'was sub- jected to a gale of 106 miles per' hour. Mr. Tom Salter, the aircraft engineer in charge of the test, gave the Coleman Lamp and Stove Co. an affidavit stating that the Cole- man Lantern would give depend- able 'lighting service under this terrific wind velocity. The 'extreme power of a hundred- mile-an-hour -wind can be better ap- preciated "when {it is remembered that a genuine hurricane, as offi- cially defined by the Weather Bu- reau, ig a wind "exceeding 75 miles per hour." Newspaper readers will recall the many hurricanes which have bat- tered the state of Florida. In 1935 a hurricane which struck Florida Hterally demolished almost every structure within its thirty-mile path. More recently, on Sept. 1 of this year, newspaper reports de- scribed a violent typhoon which battered Tokyo, Japan. According to reports, the typhoon "left in its wake vast destruction across East- ern Japan," Hundreds of people were injured and many were kill- ed, Railroad and communication services were paralyzed. And the wind, said by the weather bureau to _be the worst in 30 years, was blowing 75 miles per hour--or 30 miles per hour less than the wind resisted by this gasoline lantern. Coleman engineers explain that the Coleman Lantern's ability to withstand high winds is due to the manner in which the heat resisting 'glass globe is designed to deflect moving air away from the lighted mantels. Openings which admit air for combustion are sized and placed in such a manner as to prevent di- rect blasts of air from striking the point of illumination. This same globe protects the Coleman Lantern "from insects and from rain, making it the greatest outdoor light. In Manufacturing Washing Glass {Market Recbvery Is Felt--Pro- duction Is Well Over $200,- 000,000 Yearly, Survey In- dicates; Plants Are In Opera- tion Again Following Slump Of Several Years Manufacturing is making a steady comeback in the Prairie Provincey after drastic declines during the depression years and gross production value now is well over $200,000,000 a year, govern- ment figures disclose. Definite' Upward Trend The Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics survey of manufacturing in- dustries of the Prairie Provinces, Spectacular Gold Strike ~ Made Near Yellowknife North West Territory Is Found To 'Be Rich in Gold Ore-- Mining District Spotted From Plane -- Others Are Staking Claims What may turn out to be one of ithe most spectacular gold strikes in Canadian history, made July 22 'on a lake 30 miles east of Yellow- iknife, has been made public by Fred W. Thompson, veteran pros- ipector of Haileybury, Winston Norman, writing in the 'Globe and Mail, says: I visited the find by airplane several days ago 'and got the story from Thompsdn, under pledge of secrecy. I saw 'gold in seams and ; nuggets on quartz veins in the' hitherto de- spised "hot" sediments. Future Is Assured Thompson, who came to the Yel lowknife rush with his brother, Robert, last April, made the find in 'company with Roy Lundmark of 'Wabigoon, Ontario. They were put {down at Discovery Pdint in a little red and green Waco seaplane flown by Norbert Miller of Toronto. Colin S. Johnston, Toronto engin. 1 : { Lf) i 'A'HAPPY REMINDER! ) While in town get your copy of this week's Toronto Star Weekly. Issue No, 38--'38 coarse gold." eer, expressed this opinion during ~ a visit to the scene: "The future of, the Yellowknife area is assured. This. is a great day for Northwest Territories and all> Canada. It is the most significant turn that the whole Yellowknife rush has taken, It means that there is a fertile field for prospecting in all the me- tasediment belts which werd hith- erto shunned." : Gleam of Free Gold Thompson 'made his original dis- covery from an airplane while fly- ing over a desolate and weirdly folded area of rock. "I first saw veing from the air about six weeks ago," he told me, "and had been trying to get over here ever since. Miller brought Lundmark and me 'and put us down on this lake, We made a etraverse, and two hours after we landed we found free gold a quarter mile from the lake, in one of three parallel veins each about five feet wide, : A-Discovery A Day "We started staking right away, In the course of staking we ran on. to a number of other veins which panned. Since that time we have: been averaging a discovery a day, ether | high-grade gold or rock which pans." \ Most important of all the veins uncovered by the Ontario prospec. tor is: "Treasure Island." On this little patch of rock and muskeg, surroinded by waters of the name- less lake, I saw a quartz vein ex- 'posed for 60 feet with 35 foot width. I saw free gold gleaming under two feet of water where lake slime had been scrubbed away, and handfuls of uncrushed muck which leaves a heavy tall in the pan, mixed with PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO while based on 1936 figures, the latest available, show a definite improvenient trend. Gross production value was $331,601,000 in 1929 and slipped to a low of $164,889,000 in 1933. In 1936 it climbed to $219,482,- 000 and the next 'year pushed ahead to $247,707,000. Salaries and wages were knocked down during the depression from $54,- 915,000 in 14929 to a low of $383,- 109,000 in 1933. Recovery was obvious in 1936 when they totaled $42,832,000. While no definite conclusions could be arrived at concerning the present state of manufacturing in the West because the 1987 and 1938 figures are not available, it was assumed that manufacturing was continuing to forge ahead. "Meat Packing Leads Slaughtering and meat packing was listed as the leading manu- facturing industry with gross pro- duction value in 1936 of $52,- 519,000. Flour milling was next with value of $36,715,000 and butter and cheese third with value of $23,219,000. Other industries with values were: Petroleum pro- ducts, $15,626,000; railway roll- ing stock, $13,901,000; printing and publishing, $8,852,000; bread and other bakery products, $7,- 891,000; breweries, $6,900,000, Green, Brown, Blue For Men This Autumn And Winter You Will See Fresh Tones in. All of Them; Shirts " To Blend What will be the fashionable colors for men's suits this autumn and winter? And what will be the correct accessories to accompany them? The British Color Council has answered these questions. Blue, brown and green are sug- gested for suits, Two new blues are introduced, 'a dark shade re- flecting the blue-green of the sea; college blue, a darker but warmer tint, Blue-green is indicated _for the lining of both. . Brown also has two fresh col- ofs: a warm, deep 'shade named Barbadoes; a darker tone @escrib- ed" as Indies brown, A lining matching the former, suits both cloths. The council further spon- sors regent green, a deep shade with lining in accord. Selecting the Right Tie Which are the most attractive shirts to go with these suits? For the blue group, apart from white, there are three shades of blue and a gray that matches the sea gull's feathers. To accompany brown _kits, we have cream, ivory, parch- ment, and pine-frost, the last a light green. Green outfits require shirts in.gradations of that color, medium gray with a touch of green, silver-grey. Men are keen on ties and the council gives guidance to becom- ing selections, For blue suits, chocolate; Oxford blue, peony red and purple, navy find favor. Cham- pagne, cream, maroon and peat brown represent suitable ties for brown kit. While silver grey, bot- tle green, Cambridge blue and gold pass the test with green clothes. This should. help those who give ties as presents. i Sally Victor has brought out a "drum major's" high cuffed hat in beaver lined with contrasting velvet and with a' mounting pheas- ant feather. _ NEURITIS | warm a: het helen i acd's, Then rob the in » ~ Pain eases off 1 DEG [ a Terre What Science * |s Doing * TWO NEW SATELLITES The Carnegie Institution of Washington has announced that two new satellites of the "planet its Mt.
