The most that Canadians can do for those who have risked their lives in the trenches is not too much. The Dominion Government knows this, and is leaving nothing undone in providing for the future welfare of the men who come back. A scheme which will be Dominion wide is now being worked out for the benefit of returned soldiers, to provide for those who are disabled, to put new avocations within reach of such men as are unable to follow their former callings, and to provide em- ployment for all. ‘. Months ago the establishment of a. number of convalescent homes was arranged for by the government. These homes are now in operation in all the military districts. They afford facilities for the complete restoration of men who have been wounded at the front and discharged from the var- ious military hospitals. In these homes there is ample accommodation for all the men requiring the rest and care of a convalescent home. Scope of Commission These homes were placed some time ago under the direction of a Com- mission, of which the Hon. Senator Lougheed is president. Senator Lougheed was for a time acting Min- ister of Militia. and the executive abil- ity displayed by him in that office is dv'gddiaiit'ee of- the manner in which the funds for the care of wounded sol- diers will be administered. The scope of the Lougheed commis- sion was enlarged recently by Order in Council. It was made to include the question of employment. It now has authority “to deal with the ques- tion of employment for members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force on their return to Canada, to co-operate with the provincial governments and others for the purpose of providing employment as may be deemed neces- saryf‘ The authority granted under this new order in council is being acted upon energetically. A conference with represuitatives of the several provincial governments was held re- cently, when the whole question was considered in all its bearings and a concrete scheme proposed. One in Each Province With the adoption of this scheme there will be esta lished a commission in each province to deal with condi- tions in that prov‘mce. acting in co- operation with the central commis- sion established by the Dominion, the Lougheed resumission. These local commission; would look after the pro- viding of suitable employment and the inauguration of a system of voca'.ional feducation. On each of these com- Emissions there would be a member of ithe provincial government, a manu- tt‘acturer, a commercial man, a labor {man and an expert agriculturalist. LOUGHEED COMMISSION â€"â€"vv_ In order to place these commissions } in the close-.1 possible touch with the * conditions chich they are designed to I meet, local committees would be es-} tablished in the various centres of} population, and these committees would provide for the registration of men requiring employment, would keep in touch with the employers of labor and ascertain what opportuni- ties for employment existed, and would look after the publicity work necessary to the operation of the scheme. The Canadian Manufactur- ers’ Association would be asked to pro- ,vide as many positions as possible for soldiers back from the front. I Return to the Land . Another branch of the scheme looks gto the settlement of returned soldiers :on the land, not only men who before genlistins were accustomed to farm- !lng, but men also who have developed ; a. fondness for outdoor life and, per- 'haps, whose physical condition calls Egan Mawgzztesna null arise. DISTANCE A FLY HAS BEEN } KNOWN TO FLY. I The distance which a fly can journey and the direction in which his flight is likely to lie are questions important enough to have been recently discussed be- fore the Cambridge Philosophical SOCiPt." by Dr. E Hindle. The re- lations of this pestiferous little in- sect to the public health are so impartant. indeed. that the doctOr has :devoted profound study to its habits. He recently secured some 25,000 of the insects and, after dusting them with colored . chalk powder for the purpose of identification, set them free. In the meanwhile, he had arranged . for many sta- tions at varying distances, where the flies might be trapped. A good many of those which; he had marked were so captured. The flies were released under iord'inary weather conditions and 'without any efforts toward infill- encing their flight, the purpose being, of course, to ascertain their AS THEY COME HOME Two Special masses tfie probability being that a system of community farming. with expert instructors at work in each commun- ity, would produce the best results. It is suggested also that the pro- vinces might encourage systems of credit which would enable men to go on the land, who otherwise would be without the capital necessary. An- other suggestion is that the commu- tation of pensions, through insurance companies. might be a desirable means of providing required capital. _-._1- v- '-v vâ€"_..__ In the scheme which is being work- ed out, provision is made for all those men who come back from the front and whose former employment is not available to them, in other words, whose positions have not been kept for them. .v. 'â€"'â€"- The man who returns fit, at the close of the war, will be given em- ployment if possible at his old voca- tion. The man who needs convales- cent treatment will have that treat- ment provided before employment is found for him. The man who has been so injured as to incapacitate v..- 'v-â€"â€"_ found for him. The man who has been so injured as to incapacitate him for his old work, will be taught a new trade for which he is still phy- sically fit. The man who is perman- ently disabled and incapacitated for all work, will be cared for by the state. To Supplement Pensions It is proposed that the pensions pro- vided by the Dominionshall be sup- plemented out of the Disablement Fund administered by the Lougheed Commission, and opportunity provided {or the necessary instruction in new trades. The provinces are to be ask- ed to organize professional or volun- teer teachers to train the soldiers for work in callings to which owing to their physical condition they must turn. and to which they have been unaccustomed. Men who have been partially disabled would require and would be given eitpert training. H brie of the suggestions is that tech- nical schools and colleges be used hv the provinces in the training of sol- diers for new callings, and that in centres where these facilities are lacking, classes be established and the necessary equipment provided in some of the public buildings in such centres. It is proposed also that the provincial governments provide tui- tion in agriculture, the cost of which would be paid out of the Disablement Fund, the local administration of this fund being placed in the hands of the provincial commissions. ~‘A-_1â€"An A, v.

For those otherwise disabled it is intended to establish soldiers’ homes where they will be made as comfortable as possible. a .1. 1___._.. :‘ A These are the chief 'features in a comprehensive scheme which is now being worked out under the direction of Senator Lougheed, in consultation '~..ith the provincial authorities. Much 1:;-s been done already. More will be eryttomplished as time goes on. and the system proposed will be given suf- f‘:.:ient elaSLicity to allow its adapta- t‘.on to all conditions arising. MEUTARY HDSF'ETALS’ Creation of Provincial Committees Approved The government is dealing efficient- !y. vigorously and rapidly with the question 01' looking after and provid- ing work for disabled and invalided soldiers who are returning from the front. The government has for a long time been giving serious study to this problem, as it has been realized that Canada must well provide_for her her- oes who have made sacrifices for the Empire. Canada’s pensions are the largest of any country in the worId, but it has been realized that is not suflicient. Means must be found to provide employment for disabled and invalided men and men who are un- able to resume their old vocations must be given an opportunity to learn new means of livelihood. The Mili- tary Hospitals' Commission of which Senator Lougheed is chairman, was asked to go into the whole question andJleYise a solution. A great deal normal habits. The experiment showed that these insects; in mi- grating fly against the wind, or at least, obliquely thereto, The longest flight accomplished was: 700 metres, about 2,296 feet. The course of this fly was over open country, and comparatively free from trees. The greatest dist- ance traversed by any in a city was approximately 1,400 feet. The figures seem to indicate iconc‘ that the fly may travel about half us t a mile in ordinary circumstances, §up01 although when conditions are grain unusual, as in a high wind or call: when impelled by hunger, its but flight is known to be much longer. way WHAT MAKES CLOUDS IS STILL ' A MYSTERY.

It was decided to call a conference with the provin- cial governments in order that there might be co-operation and coordina- tion in the work. Conference Held This conference called by Sir Robert Borden was held last week when a general plan was submitted which em- bodied the creation of provincial com- mittees or commissions which would act in cooperation with the Military Hospitals’ Commission; the appoint- ment of civic or local committees un- der the jurisdiction of the provincial committees and the holding in the tcapitals of the provinces of center- ences with mayors and others inter- ested in the subject of the provision of employment for returned soldiers. Arrangements were outlined which would link up the soldiers the minute they set foot on Canadian soil with the organization in the locality from which they came.

CHILDREN TO SING NATIONAL ANTHEM Commencing soon after the is- suance of the regulation, every morning at nine o’clock, from ev- ery class room of every school in Onta1io, the strains of the “h \a- tional Anthem” will rise, sung by childish voices. \ LILLAMLUAL v v vvvvv The regulation is to be issued by the Department of Education Within a few days, and will take effect at an early date.

G. Howard Ferguson, acting Minister of Education, by way of explanation. “There is not too much of that sort of thling in our schools, and we thought this might help,” how did the moisture get there? It is held that particles of moisâ€" ture are evaporated from the earth’s surface by the heat of the sun. Indeed. the passage of the moisture from the earth to the {upper air is quite invisible. It: was formerly supposed that this moisture was condensed by the cold of the upper air into rain droplets which formed the clouds. r'cicntists held that the tiny a..- .us that the moisture collected lupon dust particles to form into §rain drops. Now they are practi- cally agreed it is something else, but they don’t know what. Any- way, when these drops get large enough they accumulate into vapor, forming clouds. When the drOplets get too large and heavy to float in the air, thev fall to the earth in the form of rain. and this is about all we actually know about clouds. .â€" One never falls but on the side towards which one leans.-â€"French Proverb.
