Commenting on the weather men‘s tendency to be wrong, the professor said that some foreâ€" casts may be in error because of faulty judgment. but generally the predictions are applied to too large an area to be accurate.

Elind Faith all events," Professor Einstein continued, "the firmer becomes his conviction that there is no room left by the side of this orâ€" dered regularity for causes of a different nature. For him, neiâ€" ther the rule of human nor the rule of Divine will exist as an independent cause of natural events." rengicsity does not lie through the fear of life and the fear of death and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowâ€" ledge." Developing this theme in a paper read to the Conference of Science, Religion and Philosophy meeting recently in New York, the noted scientist urged abanâ€" donment of the "concept of a personal God." AS MANKIND ADVANCES "In their struggle for the ethiâ€" cal good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal Godâ€" that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vast power in the hands of priests," he declared. _Ine more a man is imbued with the orde_red‘ regularity of Warmerâ€"at least five degrees Forecasts In the Papers Aren‘t Always Clear To Lay Reader ligion Lies in Knowledge In the Opinion of Albert Einâ€" Raids Leave Ruined Homes else to the pubâ€" What happons to these men of occupied countries depends entireâ€" ly upon cases. If they have friends in Switzerland, they might be perâ€" mitted temporary liberty. If they have friends abroad they might be lucky enough to get visas and From Germany, however, come many more escaped prisoners, for Germany had more prisoners. Ausâ€" trians, Czechs, Poles, French, Belâ€" gians, Netherlanders, Danes, Norâ€" wegians and British trickle into Switzerland by night and day, usâ€" ing a hundred disguises, a thousâ€" and tricks to travel hundreds, even thousandsâ€" of miles to liberty. BRITONS ARE RETURNED Of all those who escape, only the fate of the British is clear once they arrive in Switzerland. Return to his country once he reaches this neutral soil is easy for the Briton. It‘s not so easy for the restâ€"for theirs are conquered, occupied countries. German aviators who fell in France burned their planes and hiked to Switzerland, taking days for the trip. German infantrymen have reached Switzerland, too. Thousands, tens of thousands, try it. Some succeed. More fail. Success in many cases has meant only new capture and new escape attempts. Failure has frequently meant death. Since war began Switzerland has been the goal of many an escaped war prisoner or concentration camp captive. MANY WAR PRISONERS Under international law escaped war prisoners cannot be turned back by a neutral state. No such laws protect concentration camp prisoners. Escape! It‘s a magic word to millions in Europe. â€" Fugitives Flee To Switzerland as the ice leaves the shores; elseâ€" where the breeding run may not take place till late May. In the actual spawning act the female, attended by several males, scatâ€" ters the eggs in very shallow water and leaves them unattendâ€" ed. This method of spzwning is of considerable consequence in the conservaton of the fish as I will show later. HOW MUCH THEY EAT Maskincnge have a voracious appetite, feeding almost entirely on other fishes. The larger they grow the more food they need and a big oldâ€"timer will need many fish each year to keep alive. Maskinonge of 25 to 30 pounds in weight are said to te about 15 to 18 years of age. If you are interested in numbers try figuring out how many fish a muskie will have eaten during its lifetime if it weighs 35 pound when caught. The answer will probably show that several tons of other fishes have been needed to produce the one maskinonge. Maskinonge spawn over the weed beds in the spring. In some regions spawning occurs as soon head of the muskie is larger than the head of a pike of comparable size; the muskie has the lower part of its gill covers and cheeks entirely unscaled while the pike has scales all over iis cheeks. Exâ€" amination of the cheek scales is the method used by the bioloâ€" gists who wish to distinguish beâ€" tween the two fish. LARGEST IN ONTARIO The range of the maskinonge in Ontario includes the shoreâ€" lines of most of the Great Lakes, the Trent Valley canal and its connecting lakes, Lake Simcoc, Lake Stoco and the Moira river, the Ottawa river and its larger tributaries, the upper St. Lawâ€" rence, the French river and many of the lakes of the Rainy river district. It is not abundant anyâ€" where but some are taken each year from most of these lakes and and rivers. Personally, I have found the best angling for musâ€" kies along the St. Lawrence from Prescott to Lake St. Francis. Our largest freshwater game fish is the maskinonge, or as it is called nearly everywhere, the muskie. These fish grow very large; in recent years a few have been taken in‘ our lakes that weighed nearly 60 pounds but there are early. records of 80 pound monsters from Ontario. Muskies belong to the pike famâ€" ily and look very much like the common northern pike. There are, however, important differâ€" ences between the two fish.

Food, ammunition, planes, kept coming in vast quantities from the United States (40 per cent of U. S.â€"manufactured planes were going to Britain). Between Britain A aciaying factor in the new Axâ€" is program was seen to bo close political connection of events in Africa and the Middle East with events in the Balkans. Italy obâ€" viously needed bases in Greece beâ€" fore jumping into Africa with both feet, but an explosion in the Balâ€" kans might bring Turkey into the war and upset Mussolini‘s calcuâ€" lations. Demobilization of Syria was also seen necessary to the Axis plans. To Last Through Winter? Both Berlin and London admitâ€" ted that the air war over England might be expected to go on all winâ€" ter. His Majesty King George VI addressing the British people reâ€" assured them once this was made known. "Aiter our present trials," he declared, "will assuredly come victory." The Government immedâ€" iately set about ordering construcâ€" tion of 1,000,000 bunks in London‘s air raid shelters and announced the commandeering of shelters in inâ€" dustrial establishments for the use of the public â€" the people of Lonâ€" don could not continue indefiniteâ€" ly sleeping on subway station platâ€" forms. Air War Of Attrition United States military experts were of the opinion last week that a major attempt at invasion of Engâ€" land this fall had been shelved by the Axis in favor of a big drive in the eastern Mediterranean and in Africa. They declared that the Batâ€" tle of Britain for the present had become the Siege of Britain â€" an aerial war of attrition against the British people while more spectacâ€" ular military operations against British strongholds took place e‘seâ€" where. Britain has "enjoyed the last pause" in the war, and the Axis offensive will be carried out now against the entire British Empire, the Essener National Zeitung said last week in summarizing the Ribâ€" bentropâ€"Ciano talks in Rome. The ccnversations in Berlin immediateâ€" ly following doubtless dealt with Spain and its entry irto the war; the Italian assault on Ezypt; a German push down through the Balkans towards Britain‘s vital oil wells in the Middle East, Strong warnings were issued to Egypt and Greece to renounce their ties with Britain. Transported silently and efficiently by destroyers of the Royal Canadian navy, Canadian troops have taken up positions in historic Newfoundland. Some destroyers were not able to get close to shore and the troops and their equipment had to be landed from small boats.

Collaboration In East And Japan? Reported U. S. colâ€" latoration with Britain in the deâ€" fense of their Far East possessions was followed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull‘s warning to Japan that the status quo in Indoâ€"China was being upset. He declared: "The position of the United States in disapproval and deprecation of such procedures (the invasion of French Indoâ€"China) has repeatedly been stated," but gave no indicaâ€" tion of the Government‘s plans, aside from the loan Of $25,000,000 to the Chinese Government.

Their ally in the old Balkan Entente, Yugoâ€" slavia, was authoritatively reportâ€" ed to have "reaffirmed loyalty to the Romeâ€"Berlin Axis." Territorial concessions to Hungary and Bulâ€" garia were believed being planned by Yugoslavy "appeasers." RUSSIA: Heavy Russian military concentrations and manoeuvres in the region of Odessa, with Soviet Black Sea naval forces also gatherâ€" ing on a preparedness basis, were reported from Budapest. These deâ€" velopments were believed promptâ€" ed by Russia‘s uneasiness over the Iron Guard Government in Ruâ€" mania whose territory has been guaranteed by Germany, and by Moscow‘s fears that the Axis powâ€" ers were planning to carry the war more directly in the Near East. TURKEY: "If the Italians try to take over Syria, the Turks will be there one hour before they arrive," an authoritative spokesman said in Istanbul upon the‘return of the Turkish ambassador to Rome. JAPAN: New York Times‘ corâ€" respondent Hallett Abend declared that Adolf Hitler appeared to be on the verge of successfully foreâ€" ing Japan into an unwilling fullâ€" fledge alliance with the Reich.

The whippoorwill is masterfully camouflaged, accordizg to Dr. Winâ€" sor M. Tyler in a Smithsonian Inâ€" stitution bulletin, and it is not "one person in a hundred" who has ever seen one. It is a bird of the "dusk and the dark," migrating between Florida and the Northern climates and travelling entirely by night, he said. Cobalt Scouts have presented the Red Cross with a cheque for $20.00 raised by the sale of waste paper.
