Wolf Is Wrong, Science Professor Declares s -“;‘{ in IThe one ray of hope that the tide might,be turned against Hitâ€" ler in Scandinavia was the aggres» sive new policy of the British War Cabinet. Here was action at last, meeting action. The \brilliance of the Royal Navy in the battle of the Skagerrak, when oneâ€"third of the German fleet was reported sunk; the capture of Narvik; the laying of British mines in the Balâ€" tic which could mean the cuttingâ€" off of Germany‘s supply lines to the army in Norway gave ample reason for belief that Hitler‘s latâ€" est venture mright yet end in frusâ€" tration. i on o ce t oo e ecnet Centi railhead of Narvik was in British hands, and Allied forces were landing at a number of coastal points in northern Norway, but Denmark was gone; southern Norâ€" way was fast falling under the swastika, with the invading Gerâ€" The b&ttle for control of the North Segâ€"and of Europe entered its second week with the fate of Scandinavia still hanging in the N V Dioaint s L A Spreading Conflict The extension of the area of combat to Scandinavia did not necessarily mean that the war would henceforth be confined io the north. On the other hand, last weel;: the conflict gave new eviâ€" dence of spreading east, west, and south, to bring more neutral naâ€" tions within its scope . . . The warning speech of a high Italian authority, coupled with Italian naval manoeuvres off the Dodeâ€" canese islands in the Mediterranâ€" ean, presaged tha; Italy might soon be in the war . .. Allied fleet movements were reported in the vicirity of Salonika, considered a likely spot from which Britain and France might jump off into any Balkan war . . .

Speckled Trout Season Extended Opening of the Ontario speckâ€" led trout season has been advancâ€" ed from May 1 to April 27, Hon.

Ontario Iron Being Assayed Iron ore deposits which are be> lieved to be among the richest in the world are being investigated by members of the. Physics Deâ€" partment of the University of Toâ€" ~NEWS PARADE The Navy In Action Members of Physics Departâ€" ment U. of T. Are Up At Steep Rock Lake Iinvestigat ing Rich Deposits BY VIC BAKER NTARIO UTDOORS important port and The mines, discovered first last winter at Steep Rock Lake in Northern Ontario, were estimated to contain about 100,000,000 tons of the best ore, containing very little phosphorous and sulphur. OF THE BEST ORE Some time ago hematite was found on the south shore of the lake, but the‘ deposit was detachâ€" ed. Then last winter, under the leadership of Dr. A. A. Brant, the scientific party used special inâ€" struments which enable the inâ€" vestigator to determine the magâ€" netic properties of rocks, their elâ€" ectrical resistance and their pull of gravity. Operations are carried on during the winter because the ice on the lake makes a steady base for the instruments. â€" . Neutral countr%es which throw their lot.in~with Germany will forfeit their overseas possessions. Whethâ€" er the forfeiture will be permanent or only for the duration of the war will have to be decided at the conâ€" elusion of the conflict. The British have already occupied the Faroe Islands, Danish possession north of, Scotland and Icaland has announced its secession from Danish rule. Greenland, another Danish possession, will probably be administered under the.direction of the Canadian government.â€" Fishing boats are seen here resources. The exact geological structure of the bottem of the lake, to a depth of about 2,000 feet was deâ€" termined. Dr. Brant indicated where test drills should be made through the ice and hematite was drawn to the surface. Feed The Lawn No garden is complete without a lawn and the richer, greener and softer that lawn is, the better the whole picture. The average person forgets that grass is an ordinary garden plant requiring food and care just as much as flowers or vegetables. Seed selection is also just as imâ€" portant. Good ‘lawns are producâ€" ed from top quality, packaged lawn grass mixtures, which conâ€" tain proper proportions of the finer permanent grasses. Seed should be sown liberally and the ground fertilized. Rolling in the Spring and watering regularly are also advisable. Gardening .... Sometimes tree roots work up towards the surface simply beâ€" cause there is water there and none beneath. Heavy watering of lawns once a week rather than light daily sprinkles will prevent this danger and will also be best for the lawn itself. This treatment will keep grass a rich, dark greep and growing fast enough to wrowd out the weeds. Patches of the latter in old lawns are usually a sure sign that soil is wearing out and needs fertilizing. In hot weather grass should not be cut as short as ofâ€" ten as in the Spring and Fall. > Speedy Vegetables Are Tender Tender vegetables are quickly grown. A check by dry weather or anything cise invariably causes woodiness. To eliminate such danâ€" ger, experienced market gardenâ€" ers push their plants along with frequent arplications of commerâ€" cial fertilizer. This must be apâ€" plied carefully so. as to be close to but not actually touching stems or roots. Cultivation Is Vital Aside from the planning and pianting no early gardening job compares in importance with culâ€" .stion. Authorities do not ask the: harbor of Seoresbysund, Greenland.

Either of these â€"implements will make short work of a vegetable or flower â€"garden. â€" Cultivation serves a double purpose, it keeps down weeds and it conserves moisture. Busy Season Lakes Expect ° Hundreds of Great Lakes cargo vessels, trim and ready for one of the busiost seasons in their hisâ€" tory, aro once more riding. at their moorings in a score of lake and riâ€" ver ports, free of the ice which has locked them in position during the winter. Following official opening. date for navigation April 15th, they are moving out of their respective docks to take on their heavy loads of wheat and ore, automobiles, coal, package freight, lumber and the various products of factories turnâ€" ing out war materials. OLD VESSELS MADE TRIM Every possible step has been taâ€" ken to insure the maximum numâ€" ber of ships being available and owners have spent large sums and a good part of the winter months reconditioning vessels that have not moved for years. Movies Teach R.A.F. Skyhawks British fliers are learning fightâ€" ing tactics from action films taken during dog fights in the air against enemy aircraft. One such film, taken from the atâ€" tacking British machine, shows the interception and shooting down of a German raider, The device consists of a motionâ€" picture camera lined up with the fighter pilot‘s eight guns. It operâ€" ates automatically when the trigger button sets the eight guns in action. When the pilot takes his finger off the trigger, the guns cease firing â€" and the camera stops taking pictâ€" ures. It operates with every burst of fire. > The show only lasts about a minâ€" ute. But it shows the pilot errors he would otherwiso never realize and sometimes reveals mistakes which enabled an enemy to get away.
