All those harassed husbands and distracted fathers who have for their sins tsideal with the erratic whims and fancies of the discontented wives and daughter? of today should note, mem oriae and inwardly reflect on the thy doctor's original phrase. Unfortunately, however, husbands and fathers may note and memorise, but so seldom Inwardly reflect. Their Idea of applying their Infallible te Che -nervous females will probably be to rush out, order a brand ne of brooms and brushes from the s bid the patient set to, and watch the wonderful results. This Is not the way, gentlemen, reap the reward of the prescription gratuitlously given by the eminent specialist No one will deny that scrubbing is good for the soul, the perverse feminine soul does not always find goodness In Itself suffici ently attractive.

R. S.. director of the natural history department of the British seum. Recent Investigations carried out In the whaling area* ha* revealed this alarming condition, he says. The whaling Industry haa survived since the time of Alfred the Great, despite the fact that there has never been a year known when scores of boats did not leave the ports o: Eng land. France. Spain and Scandinavia to bunt the sea animals, Sir Sydney declared In a recent address, In which he urged legislation against further, hunting of whales. Greenland Variety Disappears. The Greenland variety of the whale Is already thought to be extinct, and the hunting of the last few year been confined almost entirely t< southern seas. The profits derived from the killing of these cetaceans are enormous, and they Increase yearly as the retail price of the oil and bone Increases. A fair sized whale has a ton of whale bone in its mouth, which alone worth $10,000. It also produces at $100 a ton. In the season of 1916-16 the oil production from Antartlc whal ing stations was 654,000 barrels, or about 94.000 tons. During the war this oil was recog- nixed a* of vital Importance In the man ufacture of nitro-glycerlne. It is non used in making soap. The principal whales caught today are a species of rorquals, or fin whales; the blue whale and the sperm whale. The latter, the hunting which Is principally confined to Amer- , not only give sperm oil, but often contain ambergis, which la sold at $20 an ounce and used In the per fumery trade The oil used for lubri cating the wheels of watches comes from the dolphin and Is the finest oil known.

And then it Is he calls to mind his good times long ago should, I think, be given a full half of the time. “The movies are highly profitable and, if the latter half of each week were regularly devoted to them, they ought to bring in enough money to offset possible losses on plays acted by a permanent company in the first half of each week. This company would thus have the equivalent of ten days, not six, In which to prepare each new production—no small ad vantage to their art* IROQUOIS INDIANS Will"” REMAIN IN CANADA Toronto, Dec. 9.—(By Mail)-— The Iroquois Indians have made peace with the Dominion government Threats of migration to the reserva tions of the nation in the United States, because the Dominion would not recognize the red men as an independent nation, have been for gotten.

Dec. 21.— Something in the nature of a gentle- i agreement between motion picture exhibitors and those interest ed in the spoken drama is suggested solution of the community theatre problem by Samuel A. Eliot, Jr., assistant professor of English at Smith College. Mr. Eliot is the au thor of several one-act plays and was active in the community theatre venture of the Northampton Play- rs, which attracted wide attention few years ago. Expressing in a recent letter to the Dally Hampshire Gazette a hope tor revival of a community repertory company in Northampton, Mr. Eliot advanced the idea that in a city of this size—Northampton haa a population of 22,000—the fmusemont time of the municipal auditorium might profitably be divided equally tween the play and the movies. “It seems certain," ha said, “that the Academy of Mafic is too Urge or Northampton too small to support more than one play out of ten through as many repetitions as the Northampton Players used to give, Three or four performances hit followers had maintained that their grievances were properly matt ers for an international court of law, their independence having been recognized by a British sovereign. Leaders of the Loyalists, the winn ing faction at Chaweken, were chief ly from the Christian tribes of the Mohawks and Delawares. They were well satisfied with the outcome at the pow-wow, but now propose to go even further. Their tribes have virtually no representation on the hereditary council, members of which are elected for life by the women of the tribes. The Loyalists, it is nounced, will work for an elective council, "to conform with the demo cratic trend of the times and to do away with a romnant of feudalism.” Inst.
