The British Government last year intimated to our Defence Department that they could utilize llie services with the Imperial Army 0f 2000 infantry officers. When this was announced 673 responded, and are now in service at the war front. But due to their change of postal direction, many of them are failing to receive the parcels which friends are sending thcm from Canada. .\lr. H. H.

It is unlikely that we shall hear him again." He has studied Hitler's voice and mind since the Fuehrer came to power, and told an audience of undergraduates at Christ Church, Oxford, that Hitler is “a. mad man with parauoical-ctim-hysterical tendencies. and suf- fering from acute megalomauia, who is pre- pared to sacrifice millions of Germans to satisfy his insane ambitious."

The importance of genetics, heredity; and advanced business methods iii poultry breeding were emphasized by Professor G. T. Klein of Iklassachusctts State College, Amherst, Mass, at a luncheon of the Quebec Record of l‘cr- formauce Breeders’ Association, Jloutrezil. Ru- ferriug to methods used by his institution, hc urged poultry iueu to adopt a record of per- formance program in order t0 improve thc quality of their stock. “Breeding results zlrc obtained by keeping only the good families and that means selective mating," he said. He claimed the male bird is the predominant factor in successful poultry breeding and suggested that one rooster be provided for every l0 or 12 hcus. .-\t blfassachtisetts State College hens averaged 230 to 240 eggs it year.

How many of our readers realize that the new orlIer-iu-couiicil debated in Parlizimeiit is an all-out conscription measure?
