Trees are in the new: these days and plans should be made now to plant some this spring to take the place of those cut down in the last few years. We are fortunate on this Island to have a forest nursery where we can ob- tain many good varities at small cost. Hundreds of Pines have been planted on this farm and it is surprising the growth that they make in a few years.

The World Forestry Committee believe that the minimum of Iliety in tree cover is ten per

cent of the habitable land area”

-bysavingihe forests and bymain- taining the tree cover the sudden decline to which civilizations are prone will be avoided. When the forests go. the fish and game go, the waters go. herds and flodks go. fertility departs. Then the age-old phantoms appear, steadily one after another flood drought, fire. famine. pestil- once.

The tree. with the help of all plant life. controls the food supply and life of a man and of the animal kingdom.

Henry van Dyke writes of trees 'I will sing of the bounty of the Ibis trees.

They are tho green tents of the Almighty.

He "hath set them for and for shelter.

He that planteth a tree is a ser- vant of God. .He provideth a kindness for many generations, and faces that he has not seen

Problem Wife

lrresponsible. Selfish Ways Have Killed Husband's Love

DEAR MISS DIX: Being a man. I have tried to solve my own problem, but it is a bit beyond me. I have struggled with it for ten years. and if some some solution isn't found, I will eventually leave my wife.

I was raised in an affectionate. orderly home. I have a quiet tem- perament, nm not much of a talker. but am not moody. I have tried to be a good husband and father; my children love me very much. A few years ago I stopped loving, admiring or respecting my wife. To make up for this I have given her everything that money could buy.

She has two maids, charge accounts in the stores and can come and go as she pleases. From the moment the children-a boy and a girl-camc. she has gone into a rage when they crossed her will. She says she hates responsibility. She is always out at parties or engag- ing in various civic activities; when she gets home she is tired and takes it out on the Cliiidrcn. The only people who rate a civil word from her are the two maids and the gardener. She delights in telling off-color storics whenever we have friends in.

I have spoken to the doctor about her and he says she has never had the intelligence to grow up. and is still the smart little girl who wants the centre of the floor. She hates my family. I am not in love with any other woman, but sometimes I wish I were: it would be a way out. My brother-in-law says my wife was difficult as It child, fund has always been an ogotisl. Her chief topic of convcrsntion is her own likes and dislikes. What can I do, at least until the children grow up?

ANSWER: I wish I could offer the encouragement that your wife will chnmze and become the kind of helpmate you deserve. Unfortun- ately. tliere is little hope of redemption in a woman who has been al- lowed to go her own uncontrolled, selfish, egotistical way for so long. l-Ior parents should have curbed her long ago; having failed in their Job. yougshould have been more firm with her from the beginning of your marriage.

TWO SOLUTIONS

At the present crisis. I can offer two solutions. A psychiatrist. might be helpful if your wife could be induced to see one. If all earthly Continued on page 7

"I always loved pretty dance dresses," she explained. "Of course. I didn't buy these all at once. Dena and I danced together for 20 years." Mrs. Deno and her husband, who danced professionally under the name of Rosita and Deno. won fame in both Canada and the Un- lied states since they started in 1932. They retired three years ago and now operate two studios in Montreal. They plan to open two

cgraphers. their two studios keep mom too busy to do much dancing themselves.

IT is a most auspicious time for formulating new plans and pro- positions, with a view to speeding up unusual or experimental pro- jecta of a productive and far- reaching program for advance- ment in the new year, Bold adven- tures and desires may be enter- tained, laying firm foundations for new hope: and wishes. with per- haps radical departures from old or outworn techniques or routines. Bold strokes, fortified by serious study and sustained effort, could culminate in surprising success and happiness.

For Tomorrow

Those whose birthday it is may welcome a thrilling. vital year, with many high adventures into untried fields In quest of fame and fortune. The new and novel Ire bound to gain success and per- haps hoped-for reputation, espec- ially should there be angles of the speculative or experimental. A favorable time for change, not only in environs but in mental at- titudes, the latter built upon firm foundation: and with enduring ob- jectives in sight. Keep alert to some strange, perhaps intriguing undercurrants. A pleasant and pro- gressive year is in prospect.

TEE ELECTBOENCEPHALOG- RAPH tVHlCH RECORDS BRAIN MOVEMENTS

Ono of the moat forward stop: in medicine is the encouragement given our research workers. Imi- years, these patient investigators have not been able to give their whole thought and time to research work because they had to make I living -- teaching. demonstrating. practicing medicine. Today, thanks to research foundations, some of these research workers are able to give their whole thought and time in research work and thousand: are helped thereby.

For many years. our opilevptles were treated by brqmidea which lessened the number and severity of attacks but left the patient de- pressed in spirit, All over the world research workers were studying epilepsy Ind learned that some "spells" were not true epilepsy but that barbiturate drugs would con- trol true epilepsy if liquids and starch foods were reduced in amount.

Perhaps the crowning result of the study of epilepsy was the dis- covery of electroencephalography The electroencephnlograpli has taken its place with the electro- cardiogi-aph, an it records the movements of the brain just as the electrocardiograph records tho movements and rhythm of this heart.

The electmencephalograph trac- ings enable the physician to dial!- nose epilepsy and this was consid- ered its only value in medicine but. just as Drs. Banting and Best's discovery of insulin was val- ued for its control of diabetes, and insulin was later found to have many other uses. so the discovery of the electroenicephalogruph open-
