The "living skeleton" whose muscles have all wasted hardly resembles a human being at all. ■-. ■■ As machines, muscles are quite "remarkable contraptions. They-obey, with some exceptions, the laws of the stretching of,an elastic body, tuch as a wire or a rubber hand. All the pulleys, fulcrums and jack- screws ever invented by man were modeled on the action of muscles on bones,, As to efficiency, any machine is measured on the basis of the ratio of the energy put out in mechanical form, divided by the total energy expended in the process. In the muscle, the energy which cannot appear as muscular wdrk is degraded to heat and can be measured as such. The equation is: Efficiency equals Work divided by work and heat. On this basis our muscles are about 30 per cent efficient. Few machines made by man show such efficiency. A steam engine is about 10 per cent efficient It loses 20 per cent more of the energy in its fuel than the muscle. OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE8 Fortunately, muscles are subject to few diseases. In a few rare cases, the muscles atrophy—this is the familiar living skeleton—but most muscular troubles are occupational diseases, confined to baseball and football players. I mean sprains, tears, "Charley horse", etc. For most people a great deal ol the feeling of well being of the body depends on keeping the muscles fit by exercise. I have expressed myself on the subject of exercise many times with the result (not uncommon with my expressions) that I have been misunderstood. People say to me as I am taking my constitutional or playing golf. "Whyl I thought you didn't believe in exercise." All I said was that I did not subscribe to all the hooey of the "big muscle boys", that big, muscles mean good health, or that exercise Frozen to Death NANTON, Alta., Dec. 26 (CP). - William H.

Daily Massage and Bathe the Feel Is Our Hollywood scout sends u> a bit of news about the stars. First, we hear from Miss Ann Sheridan, who tells us that no job Is harder on the teet than acting. Ann says she had to walk 8 miles during the rehearsal and shooting of a single scene in one of her recent movies, and we agree with her when she says she is qualified to. offer notes ahout the care of leetf Here they are: 1. Pat the favorite bath powder on the feet after the morning shower. 2. If possible, during the day take off shoes and stockings, exercise and relax feet. 3. In the evening, bathe them with epsom salts solution and massage them with oil. 4. Never neglect the weekly pedicure. ' 5. Proper filing of nails and care of cuticle makes feet more attractive and prevents minor foot ills. This seems, to be good advice and we will assume that the lovely Ann knows the importance of selecting comfortable shoes. And while we are on the subject of foot care, there are few screen beauties who ever have much foot trouble. First, they must be in the best of health tb keep up the arduous work and fheywould not think of neglecting any detail of grooming, especially one so important as feet While we have never.advocated the reflecting shine lor a skin finish, there are a tew girls who seem to favor it, so you, may be interested to know that Miss Resells Towne is,said to like such highlights and uses higher color shoes tor her makeup and then the nearest trace of vaseline over the cheeks and forehead..

'•*' - More than a year ago my wife died and left me with a Uttle boy seven years old and I have tried te be lather and mother to him Since. A lew months ago I met a young woman who seemed to be the sort ol wile I. wanted and we have seen a! good deal ol each other. I was rather well settled in my owh mind about our marriage when shf dropped several remarks that have.thaken me considerably. She said Bhe wished I didn't have a son. And another time she spoke ol how much nicer it Would be il we two were alone. I .want to be fair to her but I also Want to be just to my boy. I realize he would be absolutely at a step- . mother's mercy. Can you shed any light on my difficulty? L.P. Answer, Friend, I'd say the liancee would bear close watching In her dealings with your little hoy. See how she treats him* ho* he- responds" to her treatment. It won't be difficult for you to lind out how far her jealousy will take her. Yes, that's what it Is. She's jealous ot his place In your lite, jealous of the dead wife of whom he's a constant reminder, and it's not likely that she could be very merciful toward him in her present frame of mind, . Once I heard a friend say that an acquaintance of hers had no time for her own Uttle daughter. "What maker you think tnatr "Just watch her," she said, "when the chUd comes up to her, the palm of her harld is always turned out, pushing the Uttle one away from her, instead of palm turned In puU- ing the little one toward her." Since then'I have watched this and it's true. So simple a thing as a woman's gestures reveal her attitude toward er children.and other people's children too. However, in defence of your fiancee let me tell you that ninety- nine women out of a hundred would feel as she expressed herself though some who felt that way would have too much gumption to admit it. You see every'woman likes to believe that she's the only love in her husband's life and the average man being acquainted with this feminine loible caters to It and does'all he can to convince her that she's the only woman he has loved or ever will love. She knows It's too good to be true but she lets herself be tooled because she wants to be fooled. Can't you see that your liancee IS fearful that you are trying to find a good mother and home-maker for your little boy, primarily, and that your love for her is a secondary matter? Maybe her suspicions are well founded. If so, you'd better stop short and scout around until you lind a girl who has strong maternal instincts, one who wiU love your son on his own account as well as because he's your son.

She chuckled at Tier husband. The Chronicle art department had developed acute enthusiasm when the photographer put a 14- inch print of Sara Sue belore them.

I "SKATER THOUGH THE ICE!" Christmas Day's cold dip, that turned the rain and Slash of Christmas Eve to ice, and that will thicken and extend any existing ice and coat anew any quiet open waters, means of course another rush of skaters to the appealing sheets of ice, end the exposure in, some instances at least, to danger. •-.,"'' '.'.'a . This is a good time, therefore, to call attention to the latest exposure of the old fallacy that a person who has been under the water for a couple of minutes must be regarded as drowned. On November 80 a four-year-old child of St. George, a point near Brantford, Ont., fell through the surface of a frozen pond, and was under the ice a quarter of an hour, yet was alive when brought out. Countless persons have been allowed to die because of that old belief. Who is to say that a person is drowned? Who is to judge whether the apparently drowned person's lungs have been filled with water and that asphyxiation has taken place? For one thing, a stunned person may be under the water for a long period of time and take no water to amount to anything into the lungs, because respiration was suspended. Here is the Brantford item: "Four-year-old Graham Malcolm of nearby St. George Is expected to recover after falling through the frozen sur- face of a pond today snd spending about 15 minutes under the lee. He was unconscious when he was found by Earl Board, Bill Dilworth and Alfred Kitchen. "The child is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Malcolm. Mrs. Earl Baird, who lived nearby, saw the accident and called her husband and Dilworth. After a few minutes search, Alfred Kitchen appeared and made a second hole in the ice, through which the lad was dragged." Resuscitation efforts on the apparently drowned ihould not be relaxed for hours at least. He who is truly a good man is more than half way to being a Christian, by whatever name he is called.—South. FLU TOOK 25,000,000 LIVES Twenty years ago the Kootenay was not only celebrating the victorious conclusion of the war and looking forward to the early return of the Canadian troops, but was wrestling with the terrible flu scourge that, fhroughout the world, was taking lives. In Nelson and district, as elsewhere, authorities and I public were organized to meet this scourge, volunteers went I into homes to nurse, or into the hills to bring in the stricken, and among the ultimate victims were many of those who had been unsparing of themselves in this labor, including in Nelson's case, Mayor M. R. McQuarrie. People apparently Well were stricken, and were dead in a few days; patients | died on the way to town. A1 scourge that afflicts a whole country, or the whole world, is called a pandemic, because of its all-inclusive character. In past times, the bubonic plague, small pox, and cholera have won that dread characterization. The scourge I of influenza that afflicted practically all mankind for a year or more in and following the closing year of the Great I War was a pandemic, and probably the most extensive one | In history, geographically considered, The disease appeared in Spain in May; the date and point of its original appearance in the United States have never been determined, but the malady wss reported in Boston in August. Of. three waves, only one reaches the | United States, and yet that country had 850,000 deaths among civilians and 17,000 in the army. Accepting the period from May 1918, to March, 1919, as that of pandemic, the number of victims has been set at I 25,000,000, This total is fixed by adding to the deaths in 'countries having standardized mortality records, the figures I computed from estimates of 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 deaths in British and native India and extension of the rate thus ! established to China and other portions of the Far East for which official figures sre not attainable. No land escaped this visitation; Iceland suffered with Samoa, South Africa with New Zealand. No refuge was so well guarded, no hiding place so obscure as to provide protection against its ravages. It took its toll without discrimination from all the races of man. poking Backward.. ♦ TEN YEAR8 AGO J1.

Sit—A welcome letter appeared In the Daily Newi tome time ago, signed "An Oxford Grouper." The great work the Oxford Group is doing dl Over the world claims our Wonder and reverence. They do not concern themselves with national'problems, laws, or social legislation, but recognize the first Importance of individual lives, for whom governments exist and upon whom governments depend, and realize that It everyone lived and practiced true Christianity our national problems would disappear. But after all, in a democratic country our public institutions, laws and government measures are the responsibility of the Individuals ol which the nation Is made up and should express their Ideas ol what Is right and Just It must surely, therefore, be part ol the duty of the individual to see that this is so. . Without presuming to criticize or even wishing the Oxford Group to direct part ot their efforts Irom their special sphere, in which they have obtained such wonderful results, it would seem there is room Ior others to strive to shape public offering to conform to a better way of life. "Each to his task." And all honor to the Oxford Group in their chosen field, But it would not be consistent if everyone adopted their high principles in private and,personal affairs and no one worked to extend those principles to national matters. Systems and lawi do not change themselves. They must be changed by people, Ior it is the people who made them and are responsible lor them. , Ii is certain the vast majority ol individuals who make up the Canadian nation do not approve the law that sent 130 "tin canners" to Oakalla. As the Vancouver Daily Province puts it: "Hungry men asked for bread and they were given stone walls." And ss Harold Winch fold the house at Victoria, these men had broken a social law, but In putting them In jdl the government had broken a law of Nature which said a man must eat to live.. * These men had whatever slight satisfaction they may have found ln drawing attention to their plight: and a feeling they had many sympathizers; but many a lone man has been arrested on the charge of begging in our smaller towns, or has been put In jail and there given by force, work, which wai all he needed to keep him out of jalL And all the notice this attracts consists of a abort newi item in a local paper. , Some government men have advised such men to Join our defense, corps and light Ior the country that does not want them and tor tiie people who put them in JalL Perhaps some ol those who are tit and able'might even be willing to do that. But what right have we to expect. such men to measure up to the standard required ln patriot- lam, loydty and heroism? Is this state ot affairs expressing the will of the people? As Butterfleld has put if;'"The only way the Democrades can be saved is to make them democrades.'' While such things continue, what Is the use ot calling for unity in Canada? Might as well tell our children to love their home, and yet deny them a place In it As the last Prince of Wales said: "Alter all, who are the unemployed? Just our fellow countrymen and women, the same as ourselves, only' far less fortunate." It is not true that the world owes every one a living. But it is our duty, through our representatives, to see that no one is debarred from making his own living. II we fall to do that, what right have we to call Canada a Democracy or to call. ourselves Christians? Trail, B. C. , , . Dec. 6,1938. R. B. W. SERIAL STORY . . . ROMANCE INC.

They lost no DICK BURGESS Trail Blazer's reserve goaHe, made an Impression on fans In hit Initial appearance at Trail Monday afternoon. He was formerly with Saskatoon Quakers. opportunity to pound Seaby. and their repeated rushes behind a sieve-like Nelson defence made a large evening for the goalie. Maple Leafs showed they had been working on attack plays, but the timing wasnt all It might have been and attackers frequently weren't where they should have been to pick up passes. But it was in the checking and defence departments that the visitors slipped most, and until the .final gong it appeared Blazers could do just about what they wanted. Burgess, making hit bow In the Trail net, put up a steady game and robbed Nelson repeatedly. Both teami played under the handicap of lots of regulars through Illness and Injury. Trail laoked Len Wade and Nelton was without' Len Bicknell, both defencemen.

Up to that time Blazers had complete command ->nd when they scored two more less than three minutes after the faceoff in the third It looked like a complete rout. Leafs started to go then, however, and rammed home three good ones as their passlBg clicked. The close checking f the final period, plus the speed of the game, brought tempers to the ragged edge and conflict threatened repeatedly. Tripping, using the knee and boarding were common. At one ■ stage NelSon. was reduced to three men and Trail to four, Shooting up the ice to-relieve pressure, used first tb break up power plays, was a weapon that .Trail continued to use even when at full strength as Nelson sent four and five men up to hunt for goals..

Then the heavy fall of snow rotted the ice beneath a few days later, and the rain and thaw that followed melted the ice altogether. • With clearing skies. Christmas Day, the mercury dipped 'to very low levels that night, with the result that a wider expanse of ice than ever formed along the Nelson waterfront. Monday many of the city's ambitious youngsters as well as many adults took quick advantage of this and had a full day's skating in natural ice. Snow again began to fall yester daly afternoon, but up to evening was not heavy enough to hinder skating. Social... ROBSON ROBSON, B.C-Mr. and Mrs. F. E.

Orders lor lour Super Jllectras were placed with the Lockheed Aircraft corppration. »t the same time,' and In December six more were ordered. Contracts for construction ot a hangar and offite building at Winnipeg and for a hangar at lethbridge were awarded in November. By that time, pilot training was in full swing. Chosen for •ability, .experience and character from a large field of applicants, the men were put through a rigorous course ln six stages, and very few failed to measure up to the standards demanded of .them. This is a tribute, t think, to our Canadian airmen. At the end of the year, 1987, there were 16 pilots, three, in the Vancouver-Seattle service, two assisting with instructions, four in- advanced training, and seven ln training. The maintenance and repair «taff,. divided between Winnipeg, rtegina, Lethbridge, Vancouver anc Seattle, consisted of 22 men, and there were 14 in the communications and dispatch department The total number of employees' at the end of 1937 was 71. Last December, a daily (except Sunday) training schedule was flown between Winnipeg and Lethbridge. In January ot this year, advanced pilots began flying from Vancouver across the . Rockies to Lethbridge. The department of transport, hi*, stalled a 24-hour meteorological service at Winnipeg, Hegina, Lethbridge and Vancouver, and a 16- hour service at Intermediate points, in February. We were enabled to undertake some night flying, and in March We began carrying malls between Winnipeg and Vancouver. While the movement was on regular schedule, it was by daylight and in good weather only, and the postal matter was picked at random from the ordinary malls. In March we flew 38.464 miles on the ronte between Winnipeg and Vancouver. The following month the flying mileage was increased to 82,176. Occasional night flights were made between Winnipeg and Regina. TEN SUPER ELECTRAS The first two of the Super Elec- tras or "Fourteens" were received ln May and by September we were in possession of the complete complement of 10. Preliminary surveys had been made of the route across northern Ontario in Ferbruary and by ls^e summer we were making daily familiarisation flights over this section. The Trans-Canada hangar at Winnipeg was occupied in August and the Lethbridge Building completed. September, 1938, was an important month in the history of Canadian transportation. Taking advantage of the coming.of the T.C.A., the Canadian National Express began sending shipments by air between Winnipeg, Regina and Vancouver, on Uie ■ 16th. This service was extended to the branch between Lethbridge and Edmonton in October, and, on.the 17th of that month, east to Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Arrangements were made for traffic by rail ta and from points not on the air line, for combined air and rail shipment: Regular over-night air mail schedules went into effect between Winnipeg and Vancouver on October 1, The experimental mail service between Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg was begun on December 1. ■A year ago the total staff consisted of 71 officers and employees. Today,' the number Is 330, including 37 pilots (18 captains and 19 first officers); 3 stewardesses; 178 men are employed in the engineering and maintenance department; -65 in communications and. dispatch; and officers, members of the traffic department, the stores and the clerical staffs account for 47. Including the branch from Van' couver to Seattle (122 miles) and that from Lethbridge to Calgary and Edmonton (288 miles), the total distance covered by the Trans- Canada Air Lines is 3528 miles. Up to the end of December, we shall .have flown nearly two million miles, THROUGH PASSENGERS 800N The inauguration of . complete Keeping step with a custom as old as the hospital itself, patients and nurses pt Kootenay Lake General hospital observed Christmas on Sunday, as much. like other folks as their abilities or 'disabilities would allow them. They .had carol singing, Santa's visit, turkey dinner, Christmas trees, and as many of theh other joys as possible that can come to one bedridden and confined within four walls, 4 ' CA'ROLS ARE SUNG 1 ' festivities started Christmas eve when Miss Eileen Mackenzie's St. Paul's Girl's Choir sang Kir the patients. Some 25 girls, led by Miss Mackenzie, rendered, carols and general Christmas songs and hymns. Christmas morning,' as early as 6:19, the nurses, led by Miss Ert id Etter, of St. Saviour's chair, sang carols and hymns, and then at 10:00 a.m. came one ofthe biggest events of the day,' especially' {or the children. Santa Claus, with a bin .bag of gifts of all sorts, arrived and went from ward tp ward, giving a gift to every patient. Ana none the less important was the turkey dinner.at 11:00*o'clock. Led. by, H. M. Wnlmster, hospital board president, four board direct ors took up their "tools" and carved the big birds. J. R. McLennan, Jack Smith, P. C. Richards and Mr. Whimster did the carving. The nurses had their dinner at 12:00 o'clock. The Salvation Army, carrying on their cheer-bringing work, entertained with carols and hymns outside the hospital in the morning. SOROMPTOMIST* » ' DECORATE TREE Featured by a large tree supplied and decorated by the Soropiomist club In the children's ward, the hospital took on a Christmas air with Ita' decorations. Large, decorated trees were in the men's and women's wards, and smaller trees were in each private or semi-private ward. Evergreens, colored papers and tinsels lent a cheery air to the wards and halls. Mr. whimster, as president ot the board, went from patient to -patient,, wishing them as merry a Christmas as possible'under the circumstances. ■. •' ■;■ ■■■_ Nurses received their gifts Christmas eve, when' they; held open holise at the Nurses' Home. A large number of I visitors attended, and Santa Claus, played by Dr. W. K. Blair, handed Jt present to. every, on*. '; •'■'••-.: ., ;'■ passenger, mail and express service between Montreal and Vancouver, •will .take place early in the- coming year. Later,' as the ground facilities are, prepared, the Mpntreal-Monc- ton' section will be included. In the period under review, work has been proceeding on many fronts. The department of transport has been busy perfecting the airway, installing radio ranges, extending the weather service. Improving the flying fields.' Municipalities have been developing their airports. The Work Is still going'on and there is much to be done on the ground before complete passenger and mail service across Canada can be put into effect. It is-with profound regret that I record the >cciderit which occurred near Regida in November when a plane was destroyed and two pilots killed. Official inquiry was made into the circumstances by. a board appointed by the minister of transport and the findings have been made public. While it does not diminish the seriousness of the happening, I think it might be home in mind that it was the first major accident in nearly two million miles of flying, during a period of intensive training and of experimental work- over a new airway with new equipment The T.C.A. planes are equipped with the latest instruments and other devices for the elimination of hazard, the pilots are well chosen and scrupulously trained in the handling of the equipment and before the take-off every flight Is scientifically planned. I need hardly say that the first word ih the policy of the Trans- Canada Air Lines is safety. Our Lockheed Super Electees are fast enough to give transcontinental service as rapid, as that of any other air line. But before speed and regularity, of schedules comes the comfort of passengers and before that, their safety. All our efforts are bent toward this end. Notwithstanding the encouraging eagerness of the Canadian people to see their new transportation system in full operation as quickly as possible, we could not feel -justified in beginning until we were ready, until every cog in the machine was perfectly adjusted. $25 Tadanac Fire on Christmas Day TRAIL, B.
