He whose gaze is habitually\ndowncast will catch no glimpse of it, while to the\nconfident, expectant believers in possibilities, its\nbrilliancy will illume the waste places of disappointment and reveal the hidden pathway, following which, he may enter the magic realm of great\nand glorious achievement.\nin his superstitions and dependence upon\nfetishes to cure those ills. We know a man\nwho still carries a buck-eye in his pocket to keep\naway rheumatism. Some folks take calomel at\nintervals, while others look upin it as a rank\npoison. One dear lady reads the Bible to stop\na toothache, while another hastens to the dentist\nfor relief. One man lives upon vegetables to\nkeep strong, while another feasts on rare roast\nbeef to give him strength. Some folks get pum-\nmeled about by an osteopath, while others rub\nhorse liniment on their tired muscles. The poor\nold ancestral amoeba started a lot of trouble when\nhe dragged himself out of the ooze and began to\ndevelop organs. But we would rather take our\nchances with the conscientious doctors of today\nthan the hideous old medicine man of three\nhundred years ago. At least they do try to\nmake their ministration painless.\nOUT OF THE OOZE\n\"When our first ancestral amoeba dragged him\nself out of the primordial ooze he packed his\nparasites with him.\" Which, translated into\nsimple language, means, \"We began to be sick\nwhen we began to live.\" If you doubt this, try j\nto eat a tainted oyster and you will have a prac-!\ntical demonstration of the truth of this assertion. | supported by some members of your family who\nAll of which is brought about by a speech is willing to work.\nWHITHER BOUND? In this day of the automobile, golf courses, and\nsix nights a week bridge parties, it does seem |\nthat a little old-fashioned hard work might be of |\nwonderful benefit. It is not uncommon to see\nthirty thousand people watching a baseball game\njon a midweek afternoon. Call on twelve bus-\n! iness men any day in the week and see how many\nof them you will find in their office if the weather\nis nice and the golf course near at hand.\nWe know that \"all work and no play makes\nJack a dull boy,\" but what about all play and\nno work? Work really is wonderful fun. It\nis the most interesting game you play. The\nman who enjoys his work soon works himself\nup to a higher position. The man who would\nrather play more and work less will work less\nand will eventually pay the terrible price that a\nfailure must pay.\nYour ultimate success and independence\nlargely depends on the way you look at work.\nIf you consider work as something to be shunned\nas much as possicbe you will land in one of two\npositions: an inmate of the poorhouse or a pauper\nCumberland\n24th of May\nHoliday Specials\nNew arrivals in Ladies' Spun\nSilk, Rayon and Broadcloth\nDresses in the newest styles\nfrom $3.50 to $9.75\nSpecial values in Ladies' House\nDresses, sizes 36 to d\u00C2\u00BB-f H'J?\n52, at $1.25 and .... tpl.l D\nLadies' and Misses' White Middies and Navy Serge Bloomers.\nMisses' and Children's Whilte\nVoile and Muslin Dresses, lace\nand ribbon trimmed, suitable\nfor Holiday wear, sizes 8 to 14\nyears.\nMisses' and Children's Socks,\nLadies' Venus Pure Silk and\nChiffon Silk Hose in all shades.\nNewest Novelties in Ladies' Silk\nand Crepe Ties and Scarfs.\nNewest Styles in Ladies' Blonde\nKid Slippers in all sizes.\nMisses' and Children's Crepe\nSole Sandals, Oxfords and Shoes.\nSpecial values in Ladies', Misses\nand Children's Summer Under-\nSpun Silk in all Shades.\nMEN'S DEPARTMENT\nPUT\n\our Vacation Money\nInto a\nReal Trip\nEducational\nTo\nGREAT BRITAIN\nHOLLAND\nBELGIUM\nSWITZERLAND\nFRANCE I\nTHIS\nSUMMER\n$425.00\nLeave Montreal Friday, July St.\non Ss.

Others have attempted to\nrelate measures of length to time by\nthe determination of the length of a\npendulum vibrating seconds thus establishing a measurement of length\nfundamentally related to the time ot\nrevolution of the earth.\nBut the fact remains that the\nA surveyor's steel band tape 100'. standard of measure In Canada Ib a\nfeet in length can be measured with bronze bar similar to the Imperial\nan error not exceeding one one- standard yard but two were lost In\nthousandth of an Inch.

It is therefore\nnecessary in these days of very high\nland values that his fundamental unit\nof length be known with a high degree of accuracy and the testing of\ntapes is therefore one of the important functions of the laboratory.\n$1.50\n$1.00\nreport of the Physical Testing Laboratory of the Topographical Survey,\nDepartment of the Interior, at Ottawa.\nHow Ib this done and what is the\npurpose of such accurate measure\nments, the layman may ask.

Good by.\"\nWe climbed back in Kennedy's car\nand started to return to Rockledge.\nWe had not gone far when both\nKennedy and Easton reverted to the\nfirst sight they had of Ken coming\nalong the CHIT Road to the Radio\naback, with every evidence of a battle.\n\"Well, now, young Dempsey,\" began Easton. turning suddenly to Ken.\n\"Tell us what it was all about. Fighting ls a bad business. Vou didn't\nhave to do It.\"\n\"Not when Hank had them turn\nthe hose on me from the deck of the\n'Scooter.'\"\n\"What were you doing out there?\"\nKen launched eagerly into a description of Hank's spying at Eagles'\nNest, the trailing of Hank and his\nreason for a visit out at the submarine chaser.\nKennedy smiled. \"And It was because of the hose incident?\"\n\"Y-yes.\"\nKennedy had detected the hesitation. \"Is that all?\"\n\"Well, not all.\"\n\"What was the real reason. Ken?\"\nCraig lowered his voice solemnly. He\nknew that this was the way to get\nthe boy to come through with the\nwhole story.\nKen hesitated', fussed about a bit,\nbut his uncle's eyes never left his\nface and finally, rather than submit\nto being grilled any longer and made\nuncomfortable, he decided to tell tlie\nwhole thing.\n\"Well. Uncle Craig, you see it was\nabout\u00E2\u0080\u0094about Vira.\"\n\"Just Vira? Only Vira?\"\n\"Yes\u00E2\u0080\u0094Vira and Kuth.

Ruth, Rae.\nGlenn Buckley, Jack Curtis and Professor Vario at the races*\u00C2\u00BBat Belmore\nlast week\u00E2\u0080\u0094and that they lost a lot\nof money!\"\n\"What!\" Easton Evans was now\nreally worried. Could it be that Ruth\nhad fallen into gambling at horae\nraces?\n\"I don't believe it.\"\nKennedy, however, worried as he\nwas by lite accusation, was not disposed to let It pass with a mere denial. It was food for thought to him.\n\"Where there is smoke there may\nnot bc a lire\u00E2\u0080\u0094at least not in that\nplace precisely. But yet where docs\nthe smoke come from? It's up to us\nto trace this thing out.\"\n\"I thing we'd better go back to the\nGerard house.\" suggested Evans.\n\"Don't you. Mr. Kennedy? Maybe\nsome of them will be there. We'll\nface them.\"\nAs the car sped along we got thc\ngist of it from Ken. Hank, without\nmincing words, had sarcastically suggested that the robbery of last night\nhad b\u00C2\u00BBen staged to order by Kuth,\nVira, Glenn and the rest, to reimburse their race-track losses, furthermore It was not the lirst time\nHank had made such remarks.\nMeanwhile us we were speeding toward the Gerard hou:je throe of those\naccused by Hank of sowing wild oats\nwere in an earnest conversation on\na part of the ground away from the\nnewspaper reporters. Vira, Glenn\nBuckley and Ruth. Ruth was in her\ncar and Vira and Glenn were in another.\n\"We've had no luck. Ruth,\" said\nVira. \"We've tried to borrow the\nmoney to meet those I. O. U s everywhere. We can't get a cent. You\nsimply must do it for ull of us.\"\n\"Well, then, if I must do It for you,\n1 suppose I must,\" agreed Ru'.h. \"I\ntoid you not to go in for it\u00E2\u0080\u0094but you\nwould go.

Isn't it wrong to\ngamble ou the races?\"\nVira refused to talk. But Glenn\nwas trying desperately to be funny.\n\"It is\u00E2\u0080\u0094if you lose!\"\nKennedy controlled his temper.\n\"Especially if you haven't got lt,\"\nadded Vira. \"There\u00E2\u0080\u0094now. that's all\n'.I'm going to say.
