 I talked recently to s4 officers and soldiers in a Saskatchewan infantry regiment which took part in the raid on Spitzenbergen, when large coal supplies and mines were destroyed. I got the impression that they wanted action like this every day. Of course what they really want is to invade the continent, but they admit that there are not enough troops in England to permit such an operation at this time.
 Canada's continued non con- scription is a sort spot with the soldiers here. They say that the good jobs they gave up to enlist in the battle to save England are being filled by men who have let their desire for big salaries take

 When the war ceases, too, there may be a repetition of the last wars infamous Australian Bride Ship" episode. This boatload of English war brides sailed to Australia after the last war to join the soldiers they had married in England. The ship was met at the Australian docks by several thousand women who created such scene that the gov- ernment was reluctantly forced to order the boat to set sail on the long, lonely journey back to England without discharging its cargo of brides,

Middletown, Oct. 2l-When a small group of specialists -a all pioneers in aviation medicine - gathered ia their shack in France some g years ago and heard young, mild-man. nered scientist of their group ex- pound his ideas for standard test to determine the fitness of aviators to fly, 1t is probable that few had any Idea that they were approving plan which would still be in use almost a quarter of a century later. Nor could any of them know that the test was to play big part in moving picture of aviation now being shown.
 Edward c. Schneider, Sc. D., pro- lessor of biology at Wesleyan unl- versity in Middletown, Conn.,, since 1919, was the young scientist. The test he originated in France during World War I became "the Schneid- CT test" and Is in use today by the U. s. Army and Navy in per- iodic check-ups to determine the fitness of pilots to continue their flying careers.
 During November 1917, General Gorgas of the U. s. Army named 6 group of specialists to consider ail physiological and medical problems pertaining to the welfare of young pilots. By that time the English had found that many of their best flyers had become incapacitated after term of flying over the lines, and were endeavoring to find some method of first determining apti- t.de for this type of work and then determining approaching stalencss while there remained time to do something about 1t.
 Prof. Schneider, who had done high altitude work on Pike's Peak while on the faculty of Colorado college, and Prof. Yandell Hender- son of Yale university were mem- bers of the group.
 Under the direction of Dr. Hen- derson, low pressure steel cham Der was built at Hazelhurst Field, L. l., and the studios in aviation medicine were concentrated there until 1t was felt that some of the group were needed in France.
 The Royal Air Force was at the time using five tests, all breathing tests, to determine the factors SO vitally needed at a time when the supply of pilots was woefully in adequate.
 Il The work of the American phy- siologists and psychologists revealed that adaptive changes do occur !n the body of the aviator as he as- cends, all for the purpose of pro- I viding an adequate supply of oxy- gem to the nervous system, heart, muscles and other parts.
 As Dr. Schneider explains alti- tude effects:
 '"The adaptive breathing response begins In some aviators as low as 4000 feet and in the majority at approximately 5000 feet. The quan- tity of air inhaled becomes larg- CT each minute, and the depth of each breath becomes greater with ascent. The man who gradually in- creases the quantity of air inhaled as the ascent is being made, will endure to @ higher altitude than he who fails to make the breathing adaptation. ,
 "The second adaptive reaction to system and causes 6 more rapid syste mand causes q more rapid flow of blood. This is accomplished chiefly by an acceleration in the rate Of heart beat and c slighi change in the diameter or sine oi the blood vessels.
 "There Is third adaptive change which is not 80 certain to occul and is a slower process. The o1y'

 have already taken place attest to the liking English girls have for the average Canadian. Among this particular regiment the marriage rate is only about 10 per cent, so it is still largely a bachelor regl- ment. But in some units, the fig- ure has scared well above 25 per cent. The girls think it's fine being married to 8 Canadian. But when the war ends, there are going to be social repercussionS which will probably upset two continents.
 Many a girl believes that she Is married to the son of some Cam adian wheat king. They visualize themselves sailing towards the New World after the war, living happily forever after on a 1,0OO-. acre ranch. Others married solely for love. A few married for the half-pay and living allowance they get as the wives of Canadian soldiers. This Is a considerable sum by English standards - about $60 8 month.
 When, at last, they arrive in Canada, some of the girls will be in for a hard time. Some will find that the "vast wheat ranch" doesn't materialize. Instead will come the routine of settling down to the rug ged life of a small Canadian town. Maybe that town will be Q mining

gist records changes in attention and motor coordination until the subject reaches the point of complete inefficiency or until the clinician finds that the condition of the cir- culation makes prolongation of the test undesirable. A few subjects ex- haust the oxygen to 6 percent or little lower; many reach percent, while poor subjects may become mentally inefficient or faint at con- siderably higher percentages.
 After the war, Prof. Schnieder acted as director of research at the School of Aviation Medicine at Nit chel Field until 1926. But the fit- ness test he originated has continued in use throughout the years.

 London, October 2l--(By Cable) No outfit in England today has made as many conquests as have Canada's bachelor regiments. Their conquestS have not been the battle field kind. They're the romantic kind.
 Not that the Canadians haven't shown their stuff in a military way, too. They have. During recent invasion defense mal1euvers, one of the crack bachelor regiments, from Canada hung up a record of "get- ting there fustest with the mostest" that will stand for some time to come.
 But even more impressive than that was the reception this unit re- ceived on their return to their vil- lage billet center. Women and girls thronged the streets, and as the long lines Of trucks and guns rumbled into the sleepy hamlet, the ovation lacked only girls strewing flowers in the streets to make 1t complete.
 The Canadians in England are popular with the women, and if they ever receive orders to invade the continent as a spearhead of @ B. E. F., they will leave long, long trail of broken hearts.
 Recently, rumor swept through one village where this regiment was billeted to the effect that it was being transferred to another part of Britain. For two days the commanding officer hardly dared to walk down the main street of the village. Telephone calls, let ters, threats and tears made his position virtually unbearable until an official notice was posted deny ing the rumor.
 It all underlies the fact that Canadians have brought spice to the villages and towns of Britain in more ways than one. Driving high-powered trucks at fifty miles which were designed for twenty an hour through country lanes mile pace, they have succeeded in killing quantities of chickens and conditioning stray dogs to run at the first sound of an approaching Canadian convoy. Even the old folks are learning to jump.
 PLAY WITH INTENSITY
 UNKNOWN IN ENGLAND
 Pay day is also something t o reckon with. For long hours on pay night pubs and dance halls resound as these North Americans celebrate with an intensity unknown in England. Intensity Is typical of ev- erything they do. On maneuvers they fight hard. On the parade ground they drill hard. But their energy is so immense that 1t occasionally overflows and then they may take pub apart thereby gaining e reputation for being rough and tough.
 For those who are consistently rough, they've got "Toner Down. CT" building, so-called because the men confined to 1t are always in full view of the sergeant major, whether they're eating, working or sleeping.
 The men are usually just too high-spirtted for routine discip- line, and so the regiment is put through @ course of work that would break weddings. But when they finish this course, the men are always model soldiers, for the discipline is designed to mold men, not break them.
 The number who have been as- signed to the guardroom in recent months Is negligible. Any officers will tell you that what IS needed
