One hundred thousand copies have been printed in French and will be distributed in all parts of the world as an advertising feat to call to attention what is regarded here as a leading contribution to modern political thought. Detailed reports from more than fifty Canadian cities show that 10, 750 permits for dwellings (including houses and apartments and, in many cases, repairs and alterations), estiâ€" mated to cost $47,000,000, were isâ€" sued in 1931; this compares with 12,600 residential permits in 1930 whose total value was $53,000,000. The average estimated cost of a dwelling in 1931 was $4,334, as comâ€" pared with $4,200 in 1930. The inâ€" crease in value can probably be atâ€" tributed to a larger proportion of apartment houses in the total for residential building.

The jourâ€" ney from his home in Beersheba to Bethel must have occupied at least two or three days. Arriving at Bethcl ut sundown, when all good Hebrews retired, he decided to halt for the night, and sought out a great boulder for his headâ€"piece. Nightfall, soliâ€" tuade, and a troubled conscience,â€"â€" what a sctting for the dream thut followed! Here Dr. Lynn Haro!ld Hough offers a valuable suggestion. He poirts out that Freud, the psychoâ€" analyst, claims that dreams are the occasions upon which our suppressed desires leap up from the subconscious mind and play the part denied them in real life. Freud thinks, however, that it is invariably our evil desires that emerge in dreams. Dr. Hough suggests that it may very possibly be that our good desires also come to the surface in our dreams. It is interestâ€" ing to interpret Jacob‘s dream in this way. Bad though he was, pet there was a core of goodness in him to which God could appeal. For God cannot grant a revelation of himsel{ unless there is a soul capable of apâ€" preciating it. The medium of revelaâ€" INTRODUCTIONâ€"Jacob had commitâ€" ted two major offences against his brother, Esau. For a mere trifle he had secured his birthright (Exodus 25: 27â€"34); and he had stolen from Isaac the blessing that properly beâ€" longed to Esau, 27: 1â€"40. By taking these mean and crafty advantages of his brother, he had aroused Esau‘s hatred, 27: 41. Esau vowed that reâ€" venge would be him upon Isaac‘s death. Thus Jacob‘s position was serâ€" jously jeopardized in the home. Once again, as in all the stories of the paâ€" triarchs, strife was avoided by isolaâ€" tion and separation. Jacob must leave home. There was a further reason for his leaving home, in that the time lad now come for him to marry, and his mother was anxious for him to take a wife from among her own relaâ€" tives in Haran, who were Arameans living in Moesopotamia, 27: 43â€"46. Up te now his record had been bad. He had proved himself selfish, crafty and devoid of fraternal sympathy. God, however, has his own way of dealing with a wrongâ€"door, and of fashioning him for future service and greatness. I. THE REVEALING DREAM, vs. 10â€"12. 1. THE REVEALING DREAM, vs,. 10â€"12, II.

King George has approved this latest portrait of himself, just completed by Frederick William Elwell, associate of the Royal Academy. _ It will hang in Holyrood castle, Edinburgh. Latest Portrait of the King To repose calmly on the thought which is deepest in our bosoms, and be unmoved if the world will not accept it.â€"F, W. Robertson. A feeling of profound reverence swept over Jacob on awakening. This fear of the Lord is not only the beâ€" ginning of wisdom, but it is the root of all genuine religion. It rises up naturally in men when they are conâ€" fronted with God in all his majestic holinessâ€"all that separates him from this creaturely world. In Jacob‘s day, however, it was thought that God‘s holiness was communicated to the place where he appeared. A peculiar sanctity attaches to a place where men have encountered God. So Jacob said, "How dreadful is this place:" Bethel he recognized as a Godâ€"haunted place, a veritable house of God as its name suggests. Here a door opens into heaven, which is not far away. It is little wonder that later Bethel developed into a famous sanctuary. In the incident of the birthright, Jacob had shown a keen eye for the future, but with all the weight of his sinful past, could he hope for a bright future? This aptitude in Jacob for taking account of the future, God ..ow quickened and turned to his own great purposes. There are two phases to God‘s promise of the future. The one has to do with Jacob‘s personal forâ€" tunes. Lonely sinner though he was, yet he was assured that God‘s watchâ€" ful care would be over him in all his wanderings, and that he would be brought back in safety to his own land. The other feature of the promâ€" ise has to do with Jacob‘s offspring. It is to be very numerous, and is comâ€" pared with the dust, which was a curâ€" rent proverb for great numbers. An old Rabbinic commentary on Genesis quaintly suggests that the reason for this recurring promise of a numerous progeny is that each Israelite bears ideally the image of God. | III.

The angels were regarded simply 2s agents of God, who received and frlâ€" filled important commissions â€" from him. ' II. DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT, vs. 13â€"15.

To sit still and contemplateâ€"to reâ€" member the faces of women without desire to hbe pleased by the deeds of great men without envy, to be everyâ€" thing .and everywhere in sympathy, and yet content to remain where and what you are, is not this to know both wisdom and virtue, and to dwell with happiness. The car owner with enough interâ€" est to keep the front wheel bearings tightened _ should _ remember _ that weakness in the steering spindles often is confused with bearing looseâ€" ness. After the wheel has been jackâ€" ed up and before shaking it from side to side it is a good idea to stick a screwdriver in the top of the spinâ€" dle bushing to compensate for posâ€" sible play at that point. Londonâ€"A new mosque is to be built in the northwest district of London. The architect is Sir Brumâ€" well Thomas, well known as the deâ€" signer of the Dunkirk War Memorial, Belfast City Hall, and other public works. One of the richest Indian princes has already subscribed £60,â€" 000 toward the cost. While broadcasting and aviation are doing their bit, British film proâ€" ducers are experiencing â€" difficulties in capturing even a small share of the empire market. Steady progress is being made in empire air routes. A weekly mail and passenger air service has been in operation between Britain and India for four years. An 1l1â€"day mail air service between Croydon and Capeâ€" town was inaugurated recently. Programs from Daventry will practically continuous thoughout hours.

Meanwhile experimental programs and broadcast from the Chelms{ford short wave station, the most importâ€" ant features of which are British news bulletins. The last imperial conference deâ€" cided that steps should be taken to encourage British empire broadcasts. As a result the British Broadcasting Corporation is Auilding a special short wave _ station at Daventry which will be in operation by 1933. For a short tim»a it seemed as thoegh the system was working propâ€" erly without the interference of the traffic police, but soon confusion deâ€" veloped and in twenty minutes cirâ€" culation was _ completely _ stopped, with cars unable to move in any direction. It took the police half an hour to restore order under the old billy club system of direction. The experiment was tried in the most congested district of Paris, beâ€" tween the Portes Saint Martin and Saint Denis, and where the Bouleâ€" vard Sebastopol crosses the Grands Boulevards. _ Electric signals mere installed so that when traffic was stopped on the Grands Boulevards, that from the Porte Saint Denis and Porte Saint Martin entered simultaâ€" neously. A few seconds later the cross traffic from the Boulevard Sebastopol was also admitted autoâ€" matically. Then automatically all transverse streets were closed by the signals and traffic over four blocks on the Grands Boulevards was kept moving for three minutes. Other experiments will be tried and if they attain the results Mr. Chiappe desires, the entire Grand Boulevard system from the Church of the Madeleine to the Place de la Bastille will be placed under synâ€" chronized traffic regulation.

Perhaps the most important thing is this, that at last there are no more arguments about whether a tariff is a good thing or a bad. We are at last going to put these econâ€" omic theories to the test of experiâ€" ence, and we shall know, instead of arguing about, the results by the time four years hence or more this government renders up its mandate to the people. Those are industries that will be valuable to us because they will not only provide work to meet the deâ€" mands of our own customers at home but they will broaden our equipment for competitive orders coming from abroad, and increasing, I hope, our exports and trade. We brought weaving. a typically British industry today, from _ the Fleminfis. It was the French Hugue nots who taught us how to make silk; and so it is today that we find the toymaker from Nuremberg, the clockmakers from the Black Counâ€" try; the perfumery and toilet accesâ€" sories made in Paris are coming over to be made in this country, and also the finest kinds of ladies‘ stockings from Saxony. Many young colts do not do well, if they are worm infested. And they are sure to be infested if they run with other infested horses. Most of the horses that we see killed for fox meat are worm infested to some degree. The colt being particularly susceptible to worm infestation, during the first few months of its life, should be given some protection against these pests, which may become serious enough to cause death of the colt. The start should be made with the brood mare and the other horses; treat these or have them treated with a suitable worm expeller. This done the source of infection will be cut off and the pasâ€" tures will be relatively sâ€"fe for the colts when they arrive. Infection takes place through wormy horses scattering the worm eggs over the pasâ€" ture field in the faeces, so if the mare is free of worms the owner will have little to worry about, and the colt will grow well and be free from attacks of verminous colic. Verminous colic is serious and may cause the death of the colt. Better prevent worm infesâ€" tation, so that the colts will not exâ€" perience this trouble. The colt that is free of worms and bot grubs is more likely to thrive and grow well than the neglected colt that depends on no management at all. Change the pasâ€" ture ground frequently during the sumâ€" mer, keep them away from wormy horses, and have them treated with a carbon disulphide capsule when they come into winter quarters. ..
