THE WEEK'S QUESTION: - What other leaders of a Canadian political party, besides Dr. R. J. Manion (Conservative), were Ro- man Catholics? Answer: Sir Wil- fred Laurier (Liberal), Sir John Thompson (Conservative). Heisinetois, Finland, will be iid, scene of the 1940 Olympiad, in- stead. The Japanese public is bitterly disappointed, observers say, as they feel that Japan has not only lost face abroad, but even wry much more within Japan. When the Olympiad was awarded to Tokyo in 1936, there was the greatest rejoicing through the na- tion, because it was considered a foreign admission of Japan's nth- letie equality with other nations. CHANGE OF LOCATION: - Yielding to the pressure of the war humus who are behind the Govcuntnent's every move, Japan has sadly relinquished her invita- tion for the 1940 Olympic Games to be held in the Land of the Ris- ing Sun.

Whether or not the same serum will work in the case of human beings is n problem for further research. Dr. Frederick Banting, eminent scientist who discovered insulin, is adding further to our knowledge of how to treat victims of near- drowning.

In the case of foods, Dr. McKee illustrated with a box of crackers which he had kept on the shelf of his oihee for five months, with the compound at the bottom of the box. The moisture was maintained at the level of 45 per cent. saturated atmosphere and the crackers. when removed, tasted fresh and crisp. He said that the formulas would make possible the preserva- tion of motion picture films with- out their gelatinous surfaces dry- ing and cracking, by keeping them sufficiently damp in tin boxes. Compound of Two Salts He found that two salts, ordin- ary borax and Glauber salt, would absorb moisture in exactly the correct amounts. Dr. Ralph H. McKee, of the chemical engineering department of Columbia University, made pub- lie last week patented formulas of salt compounds to regulate auto- matically the moisture in a box of tobacco, preventing spoilage and retaining indefinitely the flavor of the leaf. Dr. McKee said that the formu- las made possible the preservation of motion picture tilms and also of foods. Method of Regulating Moisture In Bax Is Discovered Keeps Tobacco Mixture Moist The chief engineer explained. He did more. He presented the worried one with a toothbrush. Now everything is 0.K. Carborundum dust trom the knife grinding wheels had settled in the man's gold fillings. When he went to bed and switched off his reading-lamp, attached to the top of the bed, the bed-frame be- came an aerial. As his jaw re- laxed when he fell asleep the ear- borundum in his gold teeth acted as a crystal detector and inter- cepted programmes from the near- by station. When the music wak- cned him, he switched on his bed lamp, partially short-cii'cuiting the bed frame aerial and cutting off the programme. He could switch himself on and off! I go to sleep I hear radio music. It's getting me down. I ean't sleep." His Teeth Partly Responsible The chief engineer was a pa- tient man and curious. And his visitor didn't look crazy. So he started asking questions. He learned that the worried one was employed grinding paper knives, that he lived near WOR’s trans- mitter, that he read in bed, and that he had gold fillings in his teeth. And a great light dawned. The facts, apparently so unrelat- ed, fitted together perfectly. "Honest, it's just as I tell you," said the visitsr miserably. “I don't have a radio, my neighbors don't have a radio, yet every night when Every Night He Tried To Go To Sleep He Heard hhasie- "Are you crazy or am P." the chief radio engineer of Station WOR, New York, asked his wor- ried-looking visitor. His Head Was A Radio Set “Madame Curie," by Eve Curie. 'l‘nnlllted by Vincent Sheena. 898 pp. Toronto: Doubleday, Dor- an and Company, 215 Victoria ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO Eve Curie’s biography of her mother is fascinating as a record of treientifie research. Though written by one who lived from habyhood in the atmosphere of a laboratory, it makes clear and vivid and concrete to non-techni- cal readers the story of the dis- covery of radium and the devel.. opment of that knowledge which Mme. Curie carried on so bril- liantly until the end of her life. lta real import, however, is the story of the woman whose life was all but synonymous with that history. "MADAME CURSE" By Eve Curie Mme. Curie's daughter prefaces to her biography a brief passage on the almost mythical life of her mother. The little Polish girl had to surmount poverty and preju- dice. She did so by dint of almost incredible effort and with no ran- cor, She rearranged her life to admit a great love and a comrade- ship which would seem almost unique in its breadth and depth of understanding. Then, devastated by the sudden death of her be- loved husband, she closed that door to life, and took up alone the work they had started and carried forward together. She was honored by kings and queens, scientists and common people. She rejected wealth and tried in vain to turn aside fame. She out- witted blindness, and more than once she seemed to outwit death itself to carry on her work until, nearing the end of her sixties. The glowing element, radium, the glowing element. radium, which she herself had discovered was a factor in her own end. Love and Work Blended In another age the tempera- ment of Marie Curie would have made her a saint. "Research is constantly untold ing new uses tor wood and new methods ot curtailing waste." Mr. MoElhanney said. “Sawdust is now being used for domestic fuel on the Pacitle coast. in Europe many au. tomobiles, trucks and buses are op. erated on producer gas from char. coal.

Attorney-General G. D. Conant said the scheme was again work- ing out satisfactorily this year. No complaints have been received by the department. On the con- trary, any move to abolish the plan would be a direct move against the tourist business. in Mr. Conant's view. When they do the wrong thing on the highway-and are caught at it-the provincial tratrie officer becomes both prosecutor and Judge. He determines the fine and collects it on the spot.

GET DOWN TO EARTH The public is so used by now to the dire warnings about "mill- ions and billions" in Canada, for example, that they lose significance --the national debt is almost an abstraction to the majority Nor have some of the revelations r, ode of outrageous extravagance caused more than a temporar: political stir. Governments naturally like to maintain this condition. They like to use the "millions and bill- ions" in loose talk about what they are going to do to balance THE IDEAL PARLIAMENT lurilament should be an a<sem- l-ly of patriotic representatives ulxose supreme ideal is the wel- fare of the. country, and not par- tisan advantage. Useless debate and strife undoubtedly serve to keep many men out of Parliament who would be willing to give their time and ability to the service of the country. but who cannot pos- sibly tolerate months of idle talk and partisan reeriminations. The pity of it is that too frequently the outstanding leaders of the party set the example, whereas they should endeavor to raise de- bate to a higher level.-nranttord Expositor. Mrs. Black should not be " lowed to resign her seat in the Yukon, not even to make way for the new leader. She utters more good common sense than most of the other members of Parliament.

But what progress have we made spiritually? It may be true that we need to give our souls a chance to catch up with our bodies. Perhaps we should pause and get a new sense of values. r7 "rriCmodern tempo is too fast, and we should cultivate the art of being able to relay" -- -- So ndvises Dr. A. C. Routley. General Secretary of the Canadian Medical Association. And it is . thought worthy of consideration. WE TRAVEL TOO FAST It is being said increasingly often of late that we have permit- ted the wonders of science to out- strip the impulses of our hearts.
