The most energetic man in the world has been walking for 10 years. He started in 1927 to walk round the world. Now he has completed 80,000 milesâ€"more than three times the earth‘s circumference. C. A. B. Halvorson, of Lynn, Mass., announced that the new type of road surface was developed during an atâ€" tempt by the research experts to deâ€" sign a surface that would allow drivâ€" ers to see farther without glare. Crux of the problem, he said, was to get hold of a design that would do its job as well in wet weather as in dry. Pitted At Intervals The desizgn he finally settled on makes his miniature test road look like one of those pans you put in the oven for hoi biscuits. Little "cups" pit the road at iutervals of an inck in diameter. Mixed with this indented surface is a substance, such as quartzâ€" ite, which gives a high reflectivity. "I went crazy because 1 was offerâ€" ed spaghetti instead of steak for my supper." A man offered this explanaâ€" tion recently to Chicago police after shooting his 17â€"yearâ€"old _ daughter and wounding his 21â€"yearâ€"old son. He missed his wife. The problem, therefore, these enâ€" gineers agreed,. was one of getting enough light of the right kind in the right place on the highway. The Only Safe Speed L. A. S. Wood, lighting engineer, said that "10 to 15 miles an hour is the only speed safe with present lightâ€" ing equipment." They pointed to mounting automoâ€" bile fatalities after dark, restrictions on headlights, and experience "provâ€" ing" the impracticability of enforcing speeds within the limits set by headâ€" light visibility. A new type of road surface that will "Increase visibility very greatly" was reported at the 17th annual Massâ€" achusetts Safety Conference at Bosâ€" ton last week. Need for some such surface was emâ€" phasized by a group of engincers disâ€" cussing "highway lighting in relation to night accidents." For a time Ministers were dispoesed to deny that there was any increase in the cost of living, but when they could no longer persist in that attiâ€" tude they proceceded to make the case that the increase in the cost of living was a sign of greater prosperity. The housekeeper in town and country has to pay higher prices for all her reâ€" quirements. ‘The citizens, as taxpayâ€" ers, are, for the same reason, calied tpon to provide the funds needed by the Exchequer to defray the additionâ€" al cost of living bonus.

Chance of an Italian boy of five dying is 39 per cent. greater than that for a Canadian, of a Japanese boy 169 per cent., and an East Indian 637 per cent. As a person grows older the expecâ€" tation of life steadily decreases. When a Canadian youth reaches his majority he has in prospect 48 years to live on the average. When he gets to 40 he may anticipate living 32 years more. When he retired at about 65, he may expect to have a comfortable 13 years of retirement and die at 78. If he reaches 80 he should live six years more and even when he arrives at the century mark his expectation of life is two years, "It seems that today, in Canada particularly, there are far more peoâ€" ple attaining the allotted span than ever before in history but there are not appreciably more centenarians than there were 100 years ago," the bureau said. "The decreasing mortalâ€" ity at younger ages is a token of the vastly smaller amount of illness among young people today." More Years In Prospect DBased on the 1931 census, which was the first to compare deaths with livâ€" ing population in order that probâ€" abilities of dying could be reckoned, the survey showed that the Canadian boy of five can look forward to 62.30 years of life. An English boy has only 60.00 years, and the American boy 59,38 years. Investigations into longevity tend to reinforce the Biblicat dictum that the span of life is three score and 10, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics anâ€" nounced this month as official life tabâ€" les for the general population of Canâ€" ada were issued for the first time.

Animal And Plant Tissces Both Can Live On, Celebrzied Botanist Announces Living tissues have the nower to survive long beyond the !i?s of the growing organism. This was demonâ€" strated in the case of animatl tissues by Dr. Alexis Carrel, who kept tis sues from an embryo chicken heart alive longer than the greatest life span ‘of a chicken. "The cuiture is still alive at the Rockefelios Instiâ€" tute after more than a quarter of a century, Blossoms Alive For Months Dr. Carl L. LaRue, of the departâ€" ment of botany, Universits <f Michiâ€" gan, has demonstrated that it is posâ€" sible to keep plant tissues alive 865 times as long as they would survive in the plant. He took portions of the blossoms of plarts which have but a shoit span of existence under natural conditions and placed them in a nutrient eulture medium, simiâ€" lar to that in which germs and other microâ€"organisms are cultivated. Trafalgar Square Sees Another Demonstration Appealing for a 100 per cent. voui by Austrians in favor of union with Germany in the April 10 plebiscite, VIENNA.â€"‘"The political heart of Europe no longer beats in Paris, but in Berlin,"‘ Propaganda Minister Goebâ€" bels of Germany declared this week in an Anschluss plebiscite campaign speech. "In ten years‘ time, it will be unâ€" derstood what that signifies," he said. Eventually it was the intention to restrict private siations to "purely local functions." OTTAWA. â€" It was the ultimate policy of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to take control of all highâ€" power broadcasting in Canada, L. W. Brockington, chairman of the Board of Governors, told the Parliamentary Committee on Radio. Some permits had been granted for private stations with power up to a maximum of 1,000 watts, but no inâ€" creases would be permitted above that maximum, to private stations, Mr. Brockington said. To Control Highâ€"Power Stations ‘"‘When large movements of populaâ€" tion take place there is a tendency for the more healthy and energetic eleâ€" ments to move while the less healthy stay at home. Hence 4t is that Westâ€" ern Canada has the lightest mortality as the three provinces have received much of their population very recent 1y." Healthy and Vigorous Elements "In addition to our healthy climate, advanced facilities in medicine and public health and our standard of livâ€" ing, all of which undoubtedly conâ€" tribute to our remarkably superior longevity, there is the factor of selecâ€" tion through immigration," the report continued. Commenting on the activity in the north, Mr., Drummond said "there‘s no question it will be a big year." Scenes Mine managers in Yellowknife, Gorâ€" don Lake and Goldfields, whom he visâ€" ited during his tour, asked him to issue a public warning to workâ€"seekâ€" ers not to consider going into these areas yet as it will only add to the dificulties and work will not start unâ€" til the summer, Mr. Drummond said. ; News In Review Airplanes Ering Men in * Airplanes are bringing men in daily who are seeking work and the work hasn‘t started yet," he said.

The signals to which he reâ€" ferred, he said, were that exports had fallen off drastically, that unemployâ€" ment was "growing by leaps and bounds, 25,000 in one month," that business men were refusing to invest money because they lacked confidence. Warns of Depression OTTAWA.â€"Right Hon. R. B. Benâ€" nett sounded a warning in the House of Commons this week that Canada was on the verge of a depression simâ€" ilar to that of 1930. Goebbels said that grave decisions taken by Chancelior Hitler â€" leaving the League of Nations, remilitarizing the Rhineland and absorbing Austria â€"were all full of risks, HOLDING IT UPâ€"It was admitied by Prime Minister Mackenzie King in the House last week that the reaâ€" son the presert session has not dealt with the proposed amendments to the British North America Act (empowâ€" ering the Federal Government to enâ€" act unemployment insurance legislaâ€" tion) is that three of the nine Proâ€" Professor Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard, dean of American historiâ€" ans, however, is of the belief that Germany is actually planning to anâ€" nex Poland. Case of dog eat dog, we opine. Observers say that the move is acâ€" complishing little in the way of betâ€" tering the desperate economic conâ€" ditions of the Reich. Austria, too, is deficient in foodstu®s and raw maâ€" teria‘s, has to import between 700,â€" .000 and $00,000 tons of grain a year to feed her people. Sole resources present there in any sort of abundâ€" ance are iron ore and timber, which Hitler and his financial advisers plan immediately to exploit. By selling the iron ore and timber outside the country, they will be able to hoard more foreign capital and stave off economic collapse for the present. The seizure of Austria is then only a stopâ€"gap, a temporary measure, to be followed by moves mucW more drastic, infinite‘y more brutal. Inâ€" side pressure drives Germany outside herself, forcing the country on and on to further and ‘still further agâ€" gression. There is no foundation for the hope that Hitler will stop where he is. INSIDZ PRESSUREâ€"By taking over Austria, Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler‘s chief gain has been the increase of his own prestige with the German people zt a time when their faith in him badly. needed boistering. His Austrian coup has served for the moâ€" ment to distract German minds from the army purge, mounting unemâ€" ployment, shortage of food essenâ€" tials, loss of personal freedom. Commentary on the (ghlights cof the Woeek‘s News . Haupus H% â€"â€"Qâ€"+â€" y When ice skaters skim along over a smooth stretch they are not actuâ€" ally siiding on ice but on water. The ice melts under the skates, due to the friction, and the skates move along on a thin film of water. Increased pressure, as all physicists know, also melts ice, and the weight of the perâ€" son on skates provides pressure which combines with the friction to change the ice to water. The route indicated for this bird is altogether unique, as no other species is known to breed abundantly in North America and to traverse the Atlantic Ocean to or from the Old World. These globeâ€"trotting birds travel many thousands of miles and touch on four continents in the course of a year, The powers of endurance displayed by large numbers of North American birds on their lengthy migratory jourâ€" neys is amazing, but there is one speâ€" cles that outâ€"rivals them all. This is the Arctic tern, aptly referred to as "the champion globe trotter and longâ€" distance flyer of the bird world." Circumpolar Range The species is well named, as its range is cireumpolar and it nests over the Arctic land as far north as suitâ€" able conditions can be found,. When the young are wellâ€"grown the Canaâ€" dian and Greenland terns disappear from their breeding grounds and a few months later may be found even as far away as Africa. In fact the longâ€" est flight on record for an individual bird was achieved by an Arctic tern that in three months flew from the coast of Labrador to the Niger River in Southeast Africa. Traverses Atlantic The journey of the terms is beâ€" lieved to féllow a route touching upon the west coasts of Spain and Africa, and on the return trip northwards inâ€" dividuals are known to fly along the cast coast of South America. Now that the northern bird migraâ€" tion is getting under way, the vast distances which these travellers cover in flying to and from their nesting grounds is a topic of current interest.

It looks as though Exâ€"Chanâ€" cellor, Dr. Kurt von Schuschnigg of Austria is going to be one of them, CHINESE.HIT BACK â€" Counter SCAPEGOATâ€"In primitive times, high priests of religion were wont to place all the blame for plasues, deâ€" feats in war, sins of the pceople, on some innocent animal, for instance a goat, which they put to death with great ceremony. When the goat had been killed, the cause of the evil was supposed to have been removed and expiation made. HMence the origin of "scapegoat."
