Under the late Dr. J. W.

Despite the fact that there has been financial stringency. due to the nature 0f the times, the Canadian association shows for thc past year the largest gain per cent. of any national organization. The membership in 1931 was 58,568. In the past year it came to 62,250, a gain cf seven per cent. England, which has the largest and strong- est of all Scout organizations, showed a gain from 376,684 in 1931 i0 392,768 in 1932, or a little over five percent., but, in proportion to population, England has a much larger body of Boy Scouts than Canada. or any other country; which suggests that in this Domin- ion plenty of scope ls left for in- ‘crease of the Scouts.

Mr. Bennett was in Washington as the representative of all thc people cf Canada, as the Prime Minister of this country and not as leader cf thc Conservative party. There is an important (llzlllftlOn which will not be overlooked. There is a time and a plucc for party feeling, but partisanship must not be permitted to embarrass the head of the nation when he confers, in all the authority of his high plnce, with the heads of other great powers. Canadians will not doubt that the Prime Minister represent- ed them worthlly in these trans- actions, No man in Canada is more zealous for thc good of Cunndu, or better acquainted with ils, m.“ ‘ m and its needs.

IMPORTANCE OF SAVING FIRST SET OF TEETH

one of the mistakes parents and teachers have been making is in thinking that nothing need be done about children's teeth until what is called the sixth year molar tooth arrives, and then the child should "go to the dentist."

Dr. Irene G. Woodcock, promin- cni New York Ciiy dentist, reminds the medical and dental profession ihat waiting until the child arrives at ihls age before caring for the teeth is a big mistake.

In the first or milk set of teeth, \\'llll their pulps (nerves and blood- vessels) so near the surface, decay soon mcaus infection in the pulps, with all the ailments which so eas- ily follow. A ‘

Whut are the ailments which fol- low tooth decay even in youngsters?

The New York Society for the Prevention of Heart Disease _ has placed the responsibility for heart rlistnsc about. equally between con- iugiolls diseases (scarlet fever, meas- les, diphtheria, and other diseases of childhood) and what l8 081181! "focal" infection, that is infection iacgiimiiig in one place-teeth, ton- sils, gull bladder, intestine-and curried by thc blood to other parts iuciudiiig cf course the heart.

What does this mciui?

It means that if one half of all hcurt (iiscusc comes from bad teeth, tonsils, g-ullbladdcr and intestine with most cf the one half from the iccth and tonsils, then parents should take their children to the cicuiist at as early an age as two years instead of ivaiting until the child is six or more.

Just as there is an organization for the prevention of tuberculosis in children with institutions where childrcu from the homes in which tuberculosis exists or has existed. may be cared for, so should there be a campaign of. prevention of hcnrt disease in young Children. which aims at preserving the first or mill: sot of Lceth. This can be done by means of diet, careful cleansing of the teeth, artificial sunlight and other means.

"Dr. Woodcock points cut that if this first set of teeth is properly cared for, many of the ills that come with the second or permanent sci; of teeth would be abolished.

Further, if thc first set is preserv- cd ihcrc will be room for the sec- 011d sct when they come which moans much not only to the child's health but’ to its appearance also.

Mac Crimm0n’s Salute

(Mr. A. Sutherland-Graeme in a miter Lo the Editor of the London Times)

Mr. Gardner refers to the “tradilioif that the famous piob- aircnchd "Gila till mi tuillc" was composed by Donald Ban Mac- Crlmmon in 1754, when the Mac- Lcocis embarked from Skye. Some years ago thc late Mr. J. W. Brodie limes, cf Milton Brodie, gave me the history of thc tune which was composed by MncCrimmon on this

occasion.

This story was told to him by an old skyc lady, Marsaly MacDonald, who, in her turn, had it from her grcnhaunt, Sheila. Macleod, who was hfcicCrimmons. sweetheart. The piobaircachd composed by lvlfac- Crimmorr (in secret) was a. welcome to ihc Royal Race, and was in- u-ndwi to be first played to hull Charles Stuart King. Certainly it was not a lament.

‘with reference to Mr. Gardn- er's statement that the Macleods embarked to join the Royalists, I had always thought-and this story bears me out-that Maclcod must- crcd his clan u. join the Hanover- imis, an action which his clans- mcn bitterly resented. In a spirit of dividcd allegiance they followed him, and it was this spirit which caused MaeCrimmon to pray for death and to play the lament "Cha till, cha fill, Macleod may return, but MucCrimmon shall never," as he embarked. The fact that the Macleods were led into the ambush prepared by Simon Fraser, the blacksmith of Moy and a Rcyalist, and were there routed, surely dis- proves thc fact that they were cn thc Royalist side.

The first to fall was MacCrim-mon,

of the Government, for so long a time a purely Fanncr Administra- tion, but more recently a coalition with the Liberals. The utter neglect of the Manitoba Savings Bank and of the Manitoba University affairs should prove to the people of the province that they are leaning on n broken reed. It should, therefore, cause no surprise that Mr. Bennett is demanding that the deficit should be kept well under a million dol- lars before any further financial help is granted-Begins. Star.

eluded at Philadelphia at the week- end, furnishes experts in antique lore with a good deal of interesting data regarding the Natufians, a prehistoric race of- men who, some 20,000 years aw. or even at a much earlier dais, inhabited Palestine. Three dozen Nstufisn skeletons were unearthed not long ago at Shuklbah, near Jerusalem. and further finds were made in the caves of Mount Camel of famous memory. Along with charred bones, some eight thousand flint tools of various sorts were also unearthed, this material being pronounced as belonging to what scientists term the “Mousterian" period, which is dated some six thousand years 3.0., and of course puts hack the time index far beyond ancient Ur of the Chaldees and long before the l-Ioly Land was known either as Palestine or as the habitation of the Canaanites. Some of the anest- ing features of this latest discov- ery, as set forth by Sir Arthur Keith, are that the ancient folk whose remnants have been now brought to light had some "facial characteristics" like the so-called Stohe Age men of Malta and cf the still more remote Aurignacian men of Southern Europe.

Additional interest is lent to this Palestinian "find" by the account given of mother archaeological discovery recently made in an en- tirely different quarfer. If. were best to put the testimony in Sir Arthur Keith's own words: “Two years ago Miss Gertrude Cation-Thompson sent me burned bones from under the foundations of Zimbabwe, Southern Rhodesia. These repres- ented the skulls of two women which had, been burned long after the flesh had disappeared from them." The special point to be noticed is that a suggestion is of- fered concerning some connection between the habits of the primitive folk in South Africa and those "Natufians" who "may still have been living when the first city- states of Sumcrla arose." Aucl in like manner the hint is advanced that the funeral rife or “ordeal by fire," or whatsoever the ritual may be called, prevalent amongst Chal- deans of the third dynasty also prevailed amongst the primitives whose relics have been dug up from the caves of Carmel and other spots in Palestine.

It is an amazing romance. Its real merits only experts can decide. It is the business of the historian to make, if he can, a vivid and con- nective narrative of things which have happened in the development 0f human society within times when some record was kept of human happenings. But the archaeologist finds great gaps becauseit is certain that much of the material he must collect antedates any written or scratched record, and that thc major part of the experience cf a race now vanished passed before any recording art began. Neville D‘Esterre, in his essay, "Israel in EEYPV’ says: “Hebrews and Cana- anites were alike immigrants, tol- erated by the Empire to which that country belonged. The empire in question was that of the Khatti, or Hittitcs, a lost race quite un- related to the Semitic peoples." More than thirty years ago Prof. 3°11" Cflmllbell. of Montreal, pen- ned two volumes about "Hittite In- scriptions," ln which he states that it is impossible to overestimate the importance of this ancient people without a. record of whose exploits ancient history can hardly be said t0 exist- He goes on to recount how Hittite influence penetrated to the uttermost parts of thc earth. The “Mousterian" type to which Sir Arthur Keiths refers may g0 fur. the!‘ 5M4! and. is he states, “may have been the ancestors of the Arabs, or Semites, of Biblical times." But yet more startling is the Rho- desian "find" already mentimwd, For those who have dipped into the writings or Gertrude Page will r6- member what a graphic account is given therein of thc Zimbabive ruins which have puzzled all explorers, and, furthermore, Dan Crawford, the eminent missionary, who also made careful study of these remark- shot through the lungs and the story relates how, as he lay dying, he summoned his remaining strength to play the first bars of his "secret plobaircachd." The theme was remembered by one Rory Maclean, of Milli, who had been sent out from Invcrness w warn Lady Macintosh at Moy of the M’ ’ "' approach. He even- tually found his way back to Skye, and by describing thc rout and whistling the tune he had heard convinced Sheila that her lovcr had died even as hc had wished.
