Advance Of Science We Shull Still Run Cars When The Charles to whose an in- rn ble debt, made a talk the other day that struck 8 one of the most truly optimis tic utterances in a long time. His theme was that all the ad- vances of scientists and industrial- ists to date, great as they hi been scientific re: dustry owes are barely a step toward what can be accomplished. He was answering though he didn t say so the peo- ple who moan that everything has been invented, that our natural re-/ solirees are running out and that we face a future of. drab stagnatidn without fine new opportunities o even work enough to keep ever body busy. He told of a conversa- tion with engineering friends who wondered what could be done when sources of gasoline, are ex- ing asked them. The reply was Petroleum , Well, what is petroleum?

JUDGE OF GRAIN OCCUPIED PROMINENT PLACE IN ROYAL FAIR The display of grain and feed at the Royal Winter Fair always attracts keen competition. The main picture above shows John . Blakeman, Winnipeg District Supervisor, Dominion Plant Products Division, and W. D. Hay, Pe Gerealist and Asst. Superintendent, Dominion Experimental Station, Lethbridge, judging competitive samples of And there, said the scientist, you' seed.

I haven't the slightest idea what we are going to do when the supply of oil runs out, but we are go- ing to do something long before it runs out. If we scientists and industrialists could get out of our minds the idea that we know very much about any: thing, and -realize that the whol thing is ahead of us, then, I think, we would have a shortage of labor in a brief time. New York World- Telegram. Supreme Court Building Palatial New Structure To Be Erected On Parliament Hill At Ottawa After more than six decades in a dilapidated former carpenter shop, the Supreme Court of Canada in a/ year and a half will be moved to a palatial new 2,550,000 building be- ing constructed west of Parliament Hill on a cliff overlooking the Ottawa river. For 62 years the highest court in the land has been housed in a cramped, rodent-infested structure at the foot of the Hill, Million-dol- lar government buildings have sprung up around it. By the spring of 1940 the Supreme Court will have a home comparable to any court on the continent. Ex- cavation already has started. In the five-storey building devoted exclusively to the higher courts, there will be suites for the seven Supreme Court judges and the two/lery. All exhibits were for sale. justices of the Exchequer Court, There will be a lunchroom, a lounge, a conference room and a private re- ception chamber -for the chief jus- tice. The new building will harmonize with the grey-stone, semi-gothic architecture of the Justice and Con- federation blocks nearby, An 80-foot. wide terrace will surround it and un- der the terrace will be a parking space for 165 automobiles. The build- ing itself will be 239 feet long and 209 feet wide. For 50 years nothing was done about setting the court up in a build- ing fitting to its dignity and prestige. Then agitation started in parliament. A report by the Dominion health de- partment in 1936 condemned the old structure as. injurious to health, a fire hazard, permeated with musty odors and rat holes. Speeded Up Extinction As the race of great auks dwin- dled down to a few hundred birds, museums over the world realized that it was only matter of time until the bird became extinct, and) they offered enormous prices for specimens. This only speeded up the work of extinction. Harry Town, English business executive, is known as Great Bri- tain's flying commercial traveller. Kai-shek asserts that when peace is Flower Of Japan s Youth Heavy Toll Is Being Taken In Drive To Conquer China Visitors returning from the war zones in China assert that the China incident may cost Japan more than she can bear both in the way of money, materials and also and much more important in man power, It is evident, say these visitors, that Japan is using up the flower of its youth in the drive to conquer China, and that to-day it is seldom one sees in Japan any males betwe:n the ages of 18 and 25 they are all in military service, unless incapacitated. The Chinese leaders, on the contrary, are said to be using only the coolies as cannon fodder; the flower of China s trained youth is still in reserve and is being used to train the coolie hordes in the art of modern defense. Chiang finally attained (and he insists it will be on China's terms) China will still be strong in young man power while Japan will be a nation of cripples and old men. Without agreeing with Chiang Kai-shek in this opinion, it is easy to see that war's ravages must take deadly toll on the youth of Japan, as it is this class of soldier on whom has centered the intense technical training of the past few years, The Argonaut. Some of London s famous doctors are artists and 99 of their works were shown at the Rembrandt Gal- The King s Bithday 1) Yo Be Observed In Canada This Year On May 20th Celebration of the king s birthday will be observed next May 20 while His Majesty and Queen Elizabeth are in Ottawa, it was announced by Prime Minister Mackenzie King after a cabinet council, Actual date of the king s birth- day is Dec. 14 but since his accession to the throne it has been observed on June 9. Canadians will celebrate His Ma- jesty s birthday May 20 only for next year. The change was made with the king s approval. Statutes of Canada empower the) governor-general-in-council to fix, by: proclamation, the date on which His: Majesty's birthday will be celebrated, and the necessary, proclamation will be issued shortly. The king and queen will teach Can- ada May 15 for their Canadian tour of approximately three weeks. They will Iand at Quebec and presumably, will come almost direct to Ottawa, A Clever Wood-Carver Thomas Jacobsen of Tacoma, Washington, is a cement finisher by trade, but he'd rather do wood carv- ing.

It is hard for us in our position to really know the people of Canada, Her Excellency said, but in the let- ters I receive from the prairie peo- ple I learn many family histories and I feel that I do know my book peo- ple. It is interesting being a vicarious librarian, One learns to look critic- ally at books and judge them accord- ing to individual tastes. What ap- peals to you may not appeal to an- other and it is a serious task when you have so many people depending on you. Since the inception of the scheme three years ago, thousands of homes haye been supplied with books and magazines through the direct efforts of Lady Tweedsmuir. She is concen- trating now on the Peace River dis- trict. Weight has no influence on the velocity of falling bodies.

A few years ago a French work- man was cycling along a narrow road, when, without warning, a swan rushed at him, throwing him from his bicycle. With two vicious pecks the savage bird put out his right eye and broke his nose. In England a 10-year-old girl was found drowned in a shallow pond near her home recently. There was no trace of an accidental slip. More over, the water was only waist dee; A solitary swan lived on the pond. ft was blamed for the death. Grace- ful though the birds are, they are treacherous and tenacious to a de- gree. Many dogs owe untimely death to them. There was an old male swan a few years ago, known as Hercules, tl lived on the pond at Hampst Heath, England. Four persons liv- ing in the neighborhood lost their dogs mysteriously, and it was not until several witnesses saw Hercules dispatch a fifth victim that the fate of the animals became apparent. The method of Hercules was that as soon as it saw a dog it came out of the water and advanced to do bat- tle. After stumning its victim it picked it up by the neck and carried it off to the pond to hold it under water. Of course, most swans are not as vicious as this and would swim away from rather than toward a human being. Hunting Gold inOrean Inventor Of Underseas Dredge Going* To Alaskan Waters With gold deposits, known to exist under the sea in Stevens Passage, 18 miles from Juneau, Alaska, John C. Williams, engineer of Oakland, Calif, is completing an undersea dredge that will make exploration of undersea gold ore possible. Williams invention for undersea gold mining consists of a 10-ton steel dredge with two buckets and an attachment that converts the ocean currents into power. He says that at 1,000 feet the ocean can provide 350 horsepower. The dredge now being built can operate at a depth of 3,000 fect, al- though the depth at which the gold deposits of Stevens Passage lie is only 1,600 feet. He is building, how- ever, on a scale large enough for him to work in other waters where gold deposits may lie. The only outside power necessary for the dredge, according to Wil- iams, is merely the electric winch which lowers it into the water and hauls it to the surface again. He estimates the dredge can make nine hauls an hour, : As soon as an adequate number of the dredges are completed, Wil- liams plans a mining expedition to Alaskan waters. He will take a 9,000-ton freighter carrying ten of the dredges, A mushroom growing near a den of snakes was considered poisonous in early days.
