It has very frequently been suggestâ€" @d, and the idea has been boosted periodically from .time to time, that Lono Scouts should make a special decorative sign of their own design, bearing the words, "A Lone Scout Lives Here," and erect same in a conspicuous place outside their homes. During the past summer a check up was made throughout Ontario, and it was found that very few Lonies in this province had troubled to fall in with this idea. ® The making and erecting of a Lone Bcout sign not only gives a boy craft training, but it also serves as an anâ€" nouncement to the general public, to Dominion, Provincial and County offiâ€" clals, the Red Cross officers, Humane Bociety officials and to district nurses that here is a Scout who can be called upon in case of emergency.

The following survey was taken :: the United States of America by one of the staif of "The Farmer‘s Wife" magazine, and ro doubt the same conâ€" ditions prevail throughout the Doâ€" minion of Canada. Scouts are expected to train themâ€" selves to "be prepared" to meet emerâ€" gencies, in the case of accident, illâ€" ness, flood, fire, and storm, and in the fighting of diseases and pests, to both human beings and to plants. A Scout should have a gocd workâ€" Ing knowledge of First Aid, and it is his duty to learn all he can of this subject as quic‘ly as possible. These facts serve to show him how Important a matter it is to have the Lone Scouts mobilized in readiness to meet emergencies. "The average distance from rural homes to the nearest doctor is seven miles. Montreal Information (Ind.). â€"While we hear complaints on all sides of the reduced volume of business, there are cortain firms and certain industries who aro enjoyling prosperity. . Why is this so? In most cases it is the regsult of the intensified publicity which they have employed. Many enterprises believed it had become necessary to decrease expenses, as & consequence of the depression, Conâ€" trary to all business principles, they commenced to reduce their appropriâ€" ations for advertising, tl;ough this item should have been the last to be reduced, These firms may have econoâ€" mized a fow dollars on this score, but on the other hand they have lost much more through the reduction in thoir turnoved Mrs. Helen Wills Moody smiles her adieu when she sailed from San Francisco for the Orlent, where she will play her favorite Tennis Queen Sails for It Pays to Advertise CA AWITH THE ~=~4\ Gf3 NESCOU] â€"While _The average time required by docâ€" tors to reach rural homes in America is over 30 minutes in summer and over 58 minutes in winter.

"Average amount paid by rural popâ€" ulation during 1929 for services of a doctor was $29.35. "Average total amount paid by rural people during the last year, due to sickness alone, was $104.94." The above figures will show clearâ€" ly the need for an organization such as the Lone Scouts, trained to meet emergencies. Therefore, Lonies, see to it that you do your duty. That you train yourâ€" selves to be ready for any call that may be made upon you, and have your sign outside your home to let every one know where you may be found, and incidently to inform any other Lonie what may pass your way that his Brother Scout is at hand.

Carrier of New York, President of the American Soâ€" ciety of Heating and Ventilating Engineers, told members of the Onâ€" tarlo Chapter of the society recently that adoption of a cooliing and huâ€" midification system in tropical cities will eventually make the tropics habitâ€" able for the white race. He declared also that within the next five years theatres, office buildings, factories, homes and trains in the United States will have adopted airâ€"conditionâ€" ing as essential to comfort. Mr. Carrier foresaw a quickening of business for the railways "when a man can travel on the hottest summer day from Toronto to Texas without wilting a collar." Ho foresaw also bigger boxâ€"oflice returns for airâ€"conditioned theatres, higher efficiency of factory workers, more comfort in â€" American office buildings and homes. "But one of the greatest benefits of airâ€"conditioning for cooling and huâ€" midification will be that of making the Tropics habitable for the white race," he declared, Already airâ€"coolâ€" ing systems have been established in India, Brazil, Cuba and Northern Arâ€" gentina, he said, and recently the King of Siam had ordered alrâ€"conditioning of his palace and national theatre, because ho considered, Mr. Carrier said further, that "it changes living conditions completely." "If the white man in the Tropics can go from his home to his office or club, the buildings in which he spends the greater part of his day being conâ€" ditioned to proper effective temperaâ€" ture, the intermediate exposure will not bother him," he said.

How Many of them Can Sew? Quebec Action Catholique (Ind.) : An Ontario Women‘s Association has asked the Government to find work for unemployed women,.

Mr. Catchpool added that so far reciprocal arrangements as to the use of hostels had been completed between Britain, Norway, Austria and Denâ€" mark. Negotiations with Holland and Germany were nearing completion.

IMAGINATION There is 2 distinction between the fancy and the imagination; the forâ€" mer gives us airy shapes, the latter gives us likennesses; fancy is conâ€" cerned with trivial objects, imaginaâ€" tion with grand, spiritual, eternal things. In long settled countries, where multitudes are reared in coal pits or confined to ditches, or fac tories, or rarely pass beyond the walls of their native city, or, it they do, it is to visit some thickly popuâ€" lated graveyard or some . forsaken castle, the fancy may be vigorous; but in the forest of the new world there is out little chance for hobgobâ€" ints and. apparitions. _ Man | walke abroad freely amid the works of God â€"works in all the wild magnificence of nature. _ He is in the midst of broad plains, majestic Etreams; on every hand he meets with some ob ject fitted to furnish him with ele vated ideas, and to arouse into healthful and vigorous _ action the best powers of his mind; withal, he is not so hampered but that he can allow his mind free scope in depictâ€" ing his own _ creations.
