WINTER VISITORS PLAY
SNOW GOLF IN QUEBEC
Devotees Use Bow, Arrows and
Snow Shoes at Resorts-Curl-

QUEBEC, December 29.-'Ice horse
shoes" and snow golf will share the
spotlight at Quebec resorts this Win
ter.
The horseshoe" sport. officially
known as curling, is actually a COM
bination of horse shoes and shuttle
board, played on ice. Contestants,
instead of throwing shoes, slide heavy
weights along the ice, aiming for the
center of circle instead Of a peg.
Less organized. but with an equally
enthusiastic following, is snow" or
Indian golf, developed in Quebec City
in recent years. 1t is played on a
regulation golf course deeply covered
with snow. Contestants wear snow
shoes. For sticks they use a bow, an
arrow is the ball and holes" are
archery targets placed on the green's.
Scores are kept as in golf and usually
parallel closely those made in the
regular Summertime game.

SCENES REWARD

(This is the fifteenth OF a
series OF articles on trauel in Pan
American countries
Among the beautiful nations of
South America, Colombia is one that
offers many varied attractions to the
tourist who travels in search of new
and strange sights and places Of rest
and quiet.
Colombia, with coastline along
both the Atlantic and the Pacific,
offers an enchanting panorama of
mountains and tropics, diversity of
climates and historic cities. The sim
plicity of the customs and the hos
pitality of its people have charmed
travellers from near and far.
BY air, land or water the visitor has
easy access not only to its beautiful
capital, but also to other alluring
places within its borders. In passing,
it is worth while to note that Colom-
bia is very proud of the fact of hav-
ing been one of the first nations of
the world that established a CONNER
Cial air service which has been op-
Grating successfully for many years
and which today makes regular trips
to some of the neighboring republics.
In planning a trip to Colombia one
has to discard any idea that the entire
trip is to be made along path Of
roses and that all ports and towns
have the same comforts and modern
improvements found, say. in New York,
Paris or London. There are other
cities within the republic where every
comfort can be enjoyed and where the
tourist can spend pleasant days that
leave lovely and lasting memories.
Happy Hours Reward.
The trip to Colombia should be
pleasure journey, one in which the
traveller may forget the few setbacks
that may come his way, being sure
that all Of them will be fully COM
pensated by the many happy hours
spent during this marvellous trip.

THE William H. Nichols medal one of the coveted
Il awards in the world of chemistry has Just been
given to DR.. Henry G. Sherman of Columbia unver-
Sty. international authority upon the subject Of
vitamins
The medal, which is awarded annually by the
New Yark section Of the American Chemical Society
goes to DR.. Sherman for achievement in vitamin
research particularly in its quantitative aspects"
DR.. Sherman, the committee which awarded the
medal says, has shown that chemistry, through
nutrition, may raise the level of positive health and
increase the average length of life"
DR.. Sherman and his collaborators developed
quantitatlve methods Of measuring the activity Of
vitamins A, B, C and G. This proved great help
and isolating these various vitamins.
OTHER studies carried on by DR.. Sherman and
~ his colleagues include new methods of measure
ing Vitamin values. the behavior of Vtamin A
under different conditions of temperature and
acldity the behavior Of Vitamin under changing
conditions the differentiation between Vitamins
and q, the storage of Vitamins A ard @ in the
body, and the relation Of Vitamin to nutritionaI
welfare throughout the life cycle
He has also carried on Investigations to find out
what amounts or proportions of the vitamins yield
nutritiona status which meets our present concept
Of the normal may be improved by quantitative adj
justmens Of the vtamns and other chemical factors
OF an already adequate food supply.
DR.. Sherman was born in Ash Grove, Va. on
Oct. Is, 1875. He graduated from the University
OF Maryland with the degree Of bachelor Of science.
he took his M. A ana Phi. D. degrees at Columbia
university and he has been a member Of the faculty

But I think that advice would be even more per-

7 HOPE that few persons actually believe that the
Il court can speak just and that after that
the rest Of us must forever hold our peace. If the
tribunal were stubborn that it could hardly
have survived. And in all justice to the court it
must be admitted that it never has taken any such
stiff-necked attitude. At most the court has said
you can't do it now" or, you can't do it in pre-
cisely that way"
The Minnesota mortgage although Of
the most important decisions ever handed down by
that august body. by no means represents the only
occasion upon which the court has asserted that cir

ity. 1t is little gloomy to face the fact that even
in this instance four of the nine members said, in

think that some of the diSsenters failed to real
lie the gravity of the situation. If the mortgage law
had been thrown back it would have ruined
adjustment measures many states. 1t is my guess
that it would have brought literal revolt in all
farming areas.
I think that the situation illustrates one of the
great weaknesses of the supreme court at present
constituted. 1t never should be a group which sits
isolated in vacuum and declares: This is the law
and it must be maintained though the heavens
crumble." Gentlemen who take that attitude are
likely to find themselves sitting with Marius in the
ruins Of what was pretty good civilization when
he had it.

TOR many years the idea has prevailed that the

state OF your general health In fact, hundreds of
years ago. physicians talked about the constitution
OF man and classified the various types of human
beings according TO their body build and other char
acteristicS
Now. however. it is known that it isn't your body
a whole that breaks down, but that some single
organ or tissue becomes the of a severe in
lection and result of this, the body is attacked
Appendicitis is. perhaps, the most conspicuous
example. You may be perfectly healthy, but the
sudden infection OF the appendix may end fatally
unless surgeon attends you at the earliest possible
moment
Your body is not like the old one-horse shay that
went TO pieces all at once, but rather it resembles
an automobile in which some parts break down much
earlier than others

with their sight by the age of so: others begin to
