Worm-HOleS Wanted.

An American exporter sent an un-
usually poor consignment of oak
abroad to his oversee connection,
which was found to be wormy, but
no market could be found for this
parcel. This consignment would
have caused a great loss to the ex-
porter were it not for the fact that
the consigner happened to visit an
antique furniture factory. The
manufacturer was at that time busily
engaged in making antique grand
fathers clocks, and found the oak in
question to answer his purpose very
nicely, because it eliminated the
work of boring holes ''by hand" The
parcel was disposed of at a premium
and a profitable connection was
misunderstanding American.

Science

DR.. L. E. Houghjey of Concordia.
Kas., recently announced that inter
esting experiments were being made
by Prof. Blair-Bell Of the University
Of Liverpool, Eng, that might result
in a cancer cure. The agent reported
as a possible cure, colloidal lead This
is metallic lead In which the particles
Of lead are so small and SO peculiarly
arranged with reference to one an
other that they form 1e1ly-lil1e sub
stance.
There has been no later information
indicating further success with these
experiments. Therefore, there is still
no announced cure for cancer. Scien-
lists and doctors agree, however, that
one will be found. Cancer, if discov.
cred soon enough, is now durable with
X-rays, radium and surgery. The
reason it is so deadly Is that It is
seldom discovered in time.
Large sums are now being donated
by philanthropists for experiments
along this line, thereby removing the
chief handicap that generally con-
fronts scientific research.

The Idealist
BY FERTON BRALEY

In factory and. grimy shop,
Where shafting whirls and hammers
drop;
He hears-not strident dissonance-
But rhythm of the true romance.
The thunder of the rolling mill,
The shrek of shears and plane and
drill
Make mighty music to his ears,
A march. song of humanity
That throbs with strange deep
harmony,
That lifts the soul and makes the
blood
A tingling and torrential food.
He knows that in this noise and
murk
Of dull machinery at work,
There is a purpose and a plan
Which shall make fair the world for
man.
Out of the clamor and the CRIME
He knows there shall arise in time
Ships to go forth on high emprise
And towers soaring to the skies.
The Realist can only sense
The tumult and the toll immense,
But the Tdeahst has seen --------.--.
The dream that springs from the
machine.
