The llmnls arc Full of Them

More than half a million Christ- mas trees hnvc bccnshippcd this year from thc Province ol‘ New Brunswick to points in the United States, says a writer in "Natural Resources."

For the past, few months gangs of men have bccn busy in the woods cut- ting the young trees. From the woods the trees are hauled to railway sta- tions, wlicrc the butts. are sown off before bring shipped.

The supply of Christmas trees from New Brunswick for the United States comes entirely from privately-owned lands, as the exportation of such

A Canadian Government official who spent several years in that coun- try writes that he is very much inter- ested in India. and still keeps infclrly close touch with what is going on there. “It is interesting," he says, t0 . r ‘ te on what would happen if the British withdrew or gave India complete responsible government. I would give the Afghans and Pathans and Wazlris about one year to over- run the northern part of the country, although Bengal and Bombay would, no doubt, be their final objective." This agrees with the view of thought- ful Canadians who have not had the practical experience of our correspon- dent in Indian affairs.

M. Theodore Steege, France's latest Premier, had the unusual distinction of meeting both defeat and victory on his first appearance before the Chamber of Deputies. When he pre- sented his programme of good will and non-controversy it was with some doubts concerning its accept- ance. That his fears were justified was shown by the fact that on the division of the House he was found to be a minority, with the PTOSpCPt of the resignation of the government and another search for a successor who would attempt the task of carry- ing on. They have their own meth- ods of dealing with a situation like {hilt in the Chamber Of Deputigg and another voice was taken. This time a. larger number of Deputies votcd—-and the new govcrnmentwns found to have a majority of seven. That is sufficient for the present and Premier Steeg remains in office. How long he ivill remain cannot be predicted, but yesterday's votes give some indication of the difficulties of his position and hardly justify a. prediction of long life for the pres- ent. administration.

Guatemala has gone France one better. by having three govern- ments within a week, but the changes lll the former country were effected by more violent means. The govern- ment which was established follow- ing the first revolution has in turn been upset and is succeeded by an administration friendly to the elect- ed president who is seriously ill and thc latest president has pledged him- self to hold office only until the pat- icnt has recovered.

THE HEIGHT AND WEIGHT OF YOUR. CHILD

Some day it may be possible to tell any particular child—b0y» or girl— exactly how tall he or she should be. and the proper weight for the age.

Despite all our-knowledge and de- spite all the work that has been done on child nutrition. it is not possible to say that any child is ex- actly the right height and weight for its age.

‘Of course many valuable tables have been arranged, and every doc- tor, including myself, ls guided to some extent by them, but every day we meet cases where the youngster does not conform to the height and weight of his or her age and yet common sense and tests show that the youngster is normal in every way. strong and healthy. _

At other times we come across youngsters who appear to be of nor- mal height and weight for the age whereas a little more weight would be beneﬁcial. __

‘What is wrong with our system of measurements?

Simply, as mentioned before, that. bodies cannot be classed all alike. and of same height and weight at any given ago.

What will likely be arranged sometime in the future will be meas- urements of the bones as to their thickness and length, and length of the trunk as compared ivith thc length of the legs; the width of thc chest as compared with the depth; the girth of chest as compared with girth of nbdomcii; the width of shoulders and hips, thc shape and size of the bones that form the spinal columrcand other points that will help the physician and nurse ln their endeavor to estimate whnt should be the height and weight of anyparticular child.

Roughly for adults we speak of thc greyhound and bulldog type of phy- sique; one slender and sincwy, and strong. and the other short and strong with wide shoulders and chest and a long body as compared to length ofdegs.

But in youngsters, bl. fore reaching the age of ﬁfteen, it is rather diffi- cult to classify them in this manner.

However the big thing, the one important thiugto remember. is that boys and girls should be continually growing in height and increasing in

A Jape For The V. C.’s

(Manitoba Free Pfﬂb)

If the Victoria Cross winners of the Empire can be peruunded, they are to be paraded at next year's Toronto Canadian National Inhibi- tion. The announcement my: that they are to be combed out of all the Empire, but it may have stepped be- yond the bounds have meant only those within Cana- da. It might be expecting too much of the Exhibition to ask that it bring V.C.s from everywhere within the Empire. It is going pretty far when it invites the V.C.s within Canada. There will be some who will feel that it has gone too far to invite even one of them. But that's a. regret that may spring from our mean disposition.

It would be a. pity to deprive the V. Cs of a chance of being made a show of. If they can stand for it, Toronto will do its share. Those of them who are unduly modest will be illuminated till, as the despatdh pointedly promises, they will be turn- ed into the highlight of the Exhibi- tion. They arc to be the feature per- foruiancc. Could anywhere but To- ronto think up such a charming idea? Think of the good taste in it; think of the felicity it; will afford tiin V0.5 themselves. Did not; the Prince of Wales himself privately entertain them at dinner in the halls of West- minster? The Toronto Exhibition will go him one better. Hospitality can- not do more, or, in the opinion of Toronto. be meant better to gratify the hearts of the gallant V.Cs It is so appropriate to their fastidious must be blushing at such attentions them. Perhaps they will be unable to restrain their feelings at the sugges- tion of being turned into a spectacle to delight thc rest of US.

Why Babies Laugh

iLltcrary Digest)

Ten things made one baby laugh. Listed in order of their appearance as the boy grew older, they were dc- scibed to a recent meeting of the British Valentine, of the Unversity of Bir- mingham, says Dr. E. E. Free, in his Weeks Science (New York):

“This baby's first laugh appeared ut. thc age of thirty-nine days, and was caused by delight at thc ap- proach of food.

“The second was at the age of ten weeks, and was in imitation of thc laughter of mother or father. At this same age it was noticed that tickling caused lauglitcr. At twelve ivceks, laughter was caused by sight of a bright attractive object.
