Having been lifted up, he has drawn toward him all who have looked upon him long enough. Peter‘s sermon at Pentecost had more converts, probably, than Jesus had during his whole ministry.

Le Devoir, Montreal (Ind.).â€"One thing is certain, and the British authâ€" orities have loyally made this clear to us: at Ottawa nothing is going to be given for nothing. We are not going to sit in at a meeting of lovâ€" ers, but at a real conference of busiâ€" ness men. This is natural and proper, and it will be much better for everybody, for the cordiality of our future relations, that this is clearly understood by us before we start. ‘ Yet, great standardization would alâ€" so be needed to carry through the spare parts system. And there comes in the problem of the new models of hats, dresses, and so forthâ€"to say nothing of the little matters of matchâ€" ing colors and of making the armholes fit. So, altogether it is likely to be quite a little while before spare coats are sold in slot machines. If the back of father‘s coat grew shiny, just look in his replacement book. If Mother‘s sleeves split, teleâ€" phone for & new set. The scheme sounds simple and economical. Howâ€" ever, it obviously would require a reâ€" building of clothes. Suits and shirts and socks would have to be made on the detachable, looseâ€"leaf system. But why not? it is asked. If Johnny puts a hole in the trousers of his new Sunday suit, mother need not bother. She would merely look in her files. There she would find the number of the perforated part and, stepping to the telephone, would ask the store to send ou. "No. X715492K." A few stitches the next day, and Johuny‘s best suit would be a little better than it was. The Christian Science Monitor.â€"The "spare parts" idea has wonderful posâ€" sibilities, it has been urged, if applied to clothes. You do not throw your new motorcar away or give it to the "old iron" man because a doodad in the machinory gets loose. You buy a new grimcrack to take the place of the old. Similarly, one might do with the family‘s clothes. | _ Good times for undertakers are proâ€" ;mised by the League of Wations as soon as the present abnormal condiâ€" _tion of world population caused by betâ€" ter sanitation has been rebalanced by everybody getting older. In past cenâ€" turies, a recent study of the League‘s Health Section points out, the majority _ of people born into the world died _ young, thus establishing such a balâ€" ance of births and deaths that the average age.of the population in most countries was in the twenties or even younger. Old people were relatively rare. Recently this has been altered by improved sanitation and medical science so that a much larger fraction of the world‘s population now iives to be middleâ€"aged or old. The change is shown in world statistiecs by marked falls in average death rates and rapid increases of total poulation, the latter being slowed up in some degree by considerable decreases of the birth rates. ‘The chief change in the strucâ€" ture of poulation is a relatively great increase of older peopte. The present low death rates, the League points out, must be temporary. _ Within a few years present middleâ€"aged people who have been kept alive by medical science will get so old that they must die, for modern science has not inâ€" creased in the least the maximuml length of life which man can expect. Accordingly the present low death| rates all over the world soon must give , place to greatly increased ones as these older people begin to die. World] population then must adjust itself to a | new equilibrium based on longer aver-l; age lives but with birth rates and death rates again approximately equal. !1 The Imperial Conference 1*18. ; .

Should further investigations prove the value o° this new preservation, it will prove a boon to grape growers throughout Hungary, who are now compelled to sell their produce at the very low prices obtaining during the vintage, or suffer heavy losses later.

His statement was received rather skeptiâ€" cally by the general public, but he apâ€" pears to have justified his contention. Experts who in January examined the result of his experiment were presentâ€" ed with clusters of grapes which had been picked during October, 1931, and had lost none of their juice or flavor, after three months‘ preservation. M. Bernhardt, the grape grower, claims‘ that preservation by his method costs 20 fillerâ€"4 centsâ€"per kilo of grapes. [ Wormâ€""Two things io romomâ€" ber for the wife."
