Rose Bingham Fiske is shown as she arrived in New York from Engcland. She is the widow of William Meade Lindsley Fiske, iII, American bobsled ace who died of wounds sustained in an nerial fight agaiast German raidâ€" ers while he was flying as a memâ€" ber of the British Royal Air Force. Fiske had shot down sevâ€" eral German planes in the Battle of Britain. In an unprecedented westure, the British government is to honor the memory of the young American hero by installâ€" ing a plaque in Westminster Abâ€" bey, where fhe national heroes of England are buried. Scientific evidence that babies born in October and November have better bones on the average than those born in other months was announced last week at Pennyslvania State College. 2 It is not magic in the fall weaâ€" ther, but diet and sunshine which account for the better bones. The expectant mothers‘ diet is more varied in summer than any other season. â€" Sunshine in summer The study was made by division of home nutrition. . er maturity. From November onâ€" ward, the newborn bones are proâ€" gressively worse in these two r°â€" spects, until June or July. The practical importance of the Penn State discovery is in the possibility that better diet will bring infants of all months up to the bone standard of October and November.

In this Province our northern lakes make ap ideai home for these fish where they find suitable conditions and plenty of food. So, year after year, the angler returns taking countless thousands of these fish from Muskoka, Haliburton and other regions. â€" In fact, I would say that black bass are the mainstay of considerable of the revenue we receive from tourists. ‘Needed A Duck Rather Than Boy Ihne small mouth bass requires clear, cool streams or lakes, not too deep and preferably with shoals that almost reach the surâ€" face. Gravel bars or rocky inlets, protected against wind and wave action, are necessary for spawnâ€" ing. The bass requires plenty of food. There must be plenty of minnows and crawfish, the creaâ€" tures that look like miniature lobâ€" sters. A lack in one or other of these requirements means a low yield of bass. The spawning habits of the small mouth are quite different to most other game fishes. Trout or pike can be stripped, the eggs removed by the hatchery men, fertilized and the young fish raisâ€" ed in tanks until they reach a size suitable for planting. But this cannot be done with bass for they must be allowed to pair and the male must remain with the eggs and young bass for a conâ€" siderable period. When the waters warm in the spring the male bass clears a proâ€" tected spot over gravel or smalil rocks. He then finds a female, drives her onto the nest where she liberates a number of eggs which he fertilizes. This is reâ€" peated until several thousand eggs are under his care. After spawnâ€" ing the male stations himself over the nest, slowly fanning a streaim of water across the eggs. He renains on guard until the young are ready to take their first food. This may take several weeks and during this time the male will strike at anything that comes near his home. Rent Control Canadaâ€"Wide A Dominionâ€"wide program . of rent control and appointment of an administrator with absolute powers have been announced by Hector B. McKinnon, chairman of the Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Board. Mr. McKinnon‘s board recently was given power to control rents after complaints had been receivâ€" ed that they were being unduly raised at certain points where the war has brought an influx of new residents to fill various new jobs. "A scheme of rent control is beâ€" ing worked out applicable to all parts of Canada," Mr. McKinnon explained last week. The law rightly says that we must not fish for bass before July ist for if we do we will watch the males that are guarding the nests. If these are taken hungry enemies will soon eat up the eggs or young. So, the best conservation we can practise is not to go near the bass waters early in the season and to see that othérs do likewise. The board chairman said time had to be taken for planning rent supervision because it had been found "that the problem of rent control is shot through with fine legal points posing a great equaâ€" tion between tenant and landlord." Point-s“ Yrom which complaints have been received include Ottawa, Kingston, Halifax and Vancouver.

Hitler‘s aerial blitzkrieg doesn‘t seem to have had much effect on the morale of this group. Last week‘s events in the Far East furnished new evidence that the United States and Great Britâ€" ain had begun to act in concert to check the plans of Germany, Italy and Japan for world domâ€" ination. Step by step they could be seen working together in a series of moves that apostlesâ€"ofâ€" appeasement a few months ago would have shuddered to contemâ€" plate. U.S. Risks War Things happened fast. At time of going to press, the United States had clamped an embargo on iron and steel scrap to Japan; Great Britain had declared the Burma Road reâ€"opened; American consuls were urging their nationâ€" als in all parts of the Japanese Empire to leave for home; Lonâ€" don was reported to be considerâ€" ing the evacuation of British subjects from "cortain Far Eastâ€" ern areas"; the Japanese navy had landed forces on Liu Kung, Britishâ€"leased island off Shanâ€" tung peninsula, China; the Doâ€" minion of Canada had>placed a ban on export of copper to Jaâ€" pan; the Japs had declared they would close the Burma Road by bombing; diplomatic talks were being renewed between the U.S. thing, nevertheless. Commenting on the situation, U.S. Rearâ€"Adâ€" miral Harry E. Yarneli, retired, declared: "The United States Navy now is equal to anything and Soviet Russia; Japanese auâ€" thorities were pressing French Indoâ€"China with further deâ€" mands . .. A Showdown, Now That the United States would enter the world war via the Paâ€" cific was seen as an everâ€"increasâ€" ing possibility. Washington, of course, hoped to break the power of Japan by measures "short of war", but was risking the real in the Pacific, and the British can be depended upon to take care of the Atlantic ... We may be better prepared for a showâ€" down with Japan now while she is bogged down in China, than we will be six years from now .. when the twoâ€"ocean navy is comâ€" pleted." Next American moves forecast were, progressively: an embargo on shipments of oil to Japan, arâ€" ranged with the coâ€"operation of the Netherlands Indies and Mexiâ€" co; closing of U.S. markets to Japan â€" refusal to buy raw silk, etc.; blockadeâ€"of Japan im the Pacific.

'l'hey're U & yed byjtbe Blitzkrieg â€" U.S., Britain, Coâ€"Operate In Far Eastern Situation Britain in an historic speech beâ€" fore the House of Commons declared that Britain was strikâ€" ing back more powerfully than ever against the Axis war maâ€" chine. Nevertheless he warned that the danger of invasion was everâ€"present â€" Germany had massed 80 crack divisions in northern France, with enough ships to "throw half a million onto the salt water (around Britâ€" ain) â€" or into it!" Although the German _ Air Force kept pounding the larger cities of Britain last week (8,500 had been killed and 13,000 wounded since the "skyrie¢" beâ€" gan), no one believed that the Naâ€" zis would long confine their acâ€" tivities ~solely to the Battle of Britain. â€" Everybedy was waiting to see where Hitler would strike next, following his chinâ€"fest with Mussolini at the Brenner Pass. The warâ€"scene was expected to shift at any moment to the Mediâ€" terranean Basin, beginning, perâ€" haps with a German drive through the Balkans to meet the Italians in Egypt. Germany Gets Rumania The groundwork for this type of push was being prepared last week. German troops were taking over the Rumanian oilfields while Britâ€" ish officials and nationals got ready to leave the country; Hungarian and Bulgarian troops were being schooled in blitzkrieg technique, reâ€" ports said; six divisions of Italian troops were massed on the borders of Greece. A blockade of Grsece was rapidly being put into effect by the Nazis, to prevent the Briâ€" tish navy from using Greek bases for refuelling purpooses. Out of the question, apparently, for the time being was a push by Germany through the Bosporus or the Dardanelles, across Turkey to the Near East. The Turks were natâ€" urally opposing such a move and were backed up in their attitude by Soviet Russia, with whom Nazi dipâ€" lomats continued to bargain furâ€" fously. Everybody After Russia "Time," October 7, said: "Russia, long the most hated nation in the world, became by virtue of the Japâ€"Axis treaty the most soughtâ€" after power in the world." Last week her favor was being courted not only by Germany and Japan, the U. S., but also by Britain who gave evidence of wishing to resume trade parileys. A despatch from Lonâ€" don to the New York Times told the story that Britain had offered to incregse its trado with Russia in the hope of enlisting Joseph Stalâ€" in‘s support in the new campaign to increase the flow of arms to maimmcagee China. (Britain, it said, was eager to keep Japan entangled in the Far East by supplying more war apparatus to Chiang Kaiâ€"shek, bat was unwilling to. release supplies needed for the war in the West). Canada‘s Army In Canada, 30,000 young drafteos began 30 days‘ military training. The Defense Department made aâ€" ruling that all land forces would be called the Canadian Army and that the term "*‘nonâ€"permanent . active militia" to describe. conscripts would be discarded (the change must be confirmed by Parliament). Almost at the same moment, Colâ€" onel ‘Ralston announced that a ,change would be made in the disâ€" position of mendrawn into the army. Did this mean the idea of the "home defense force" was being abandoned in favor of sendâ€" ing more troops overseas? What, No Parliament? Parliament, scheduled to mest November 5, will adjourn immedâ€" iately until a date early in Janâ€" uary. No business will be. transâ€" acted <at this assembly and only sufficient members to constitute a quorum are required to be preâ€" sent.

In Ontario, Premier Hepburn named Robert Laurier, nephew of the late Sir Wilfred Laurier, as Minister of Mines; and promised that no new personal income or corâ€" poration taxes, or increases in tax rates would be levied for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 1941. Ancient Cures Now Outâ€"moded Seized Horsesâ€" â€"â€"â€"Taught German Jacques Cartier, on hisvoyage of exploration up the St. Lawrence River, found his crew seriously afâ€" flicted by scurvy. The ship‘s capâ€" tain got into conversation with a native of the country who said he had just recovered from the same pestilence, The captain asked him what remedy he used and he told him of a tree, the leaves and sap of which would bring about the cure. ~German soldiers and farmâ€" ers are busy teaching e Gerâ€" man language â€" to â€"horses reâ€" quisitioned _ from .

Some of the leaves of this tree were brought, boiled in the form of a tea and given to the men who promptly recovered. The tree was called the ameda tree, and was probably either sassafras or spruce. James Lind, who introduced the practice of making all men on long voyages take lime juice or lemon juice daily to prevent scurvy, studâ€" ied the account of Cartier‘s voyage carefully when he was making his preliminary primitive communities in the United States as a spring tonic. The Berlin Zeitung has urgâ€" ed drivers to use "utmost cauâ€" tion" in handling horses which don‘t ‘understand German, ard the Nazi Society for Prevention f Cruelty to Animals is advisâ€" ing drivers to spare the rod and apply patience. i Other remedies of long ago have mercifully fallen into disuse. What our ancestors used to endure at the hands of their medical men makes us shudder today. An old time Engâ€" lish remedy was Usnea, which was the moss taken from the skull of a man who has died a violent death. It was easy to obtain in the olden days because the bodies of criminâ€" als who were hanged were left susâ€" pended in a public square or at the crossroads as a warning to others. Sympathy was a remedy much esteemed. The "powder of symâ€" pathy," which was nothing more than copper sulphate, was used for healing wounds.
