Broadcasts to Frozen North to Continue Through Winter Westinghouse Stations Will Convey Messages and Programs by Radio to Mounted Police and Missionaries . The Par North broadcasts to the outposta of civilization along tho Arc- tic Circle in tho Hudson Bay distuict of Canada, which have been trans- mitted regularly by stations of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing Company during the last three years, will be resumed during the coming Fall and Winter, according to an announcement by Lloyd C. Thomas, commercial manager for the Westing- house Company, The advance schedule of transmis- sions, which has been dispatched northward on the Canadian mail and supply boats to be in the hands of all outlying posts before the Initial broad- casts, follows: KDKA, East Pitts-, burgh.

"Three supply ships bound for the arctic regions," said Mr. Thomas, "the Bayrupert and the Nascoptc of the Hudson Bay Company, and the Boe- thic of the Canadian Arctic Expedi- tion, which departed early in July, aro carrying the advance schedule and the yearly mail delivery to the isolated regions of the North. "The special broadcasts were in- augurated more than four years ago by KDKA to transmit an emergency message. The regularity with which these signals were heard throughout the Canadian Northwest, Labrador, Greenland and tho Hudson Bay dis- trict, resulted In the adoption of a re- gular schedule of transmissions from all tho Westinghouse stations. At tho outset there wero four stations, in- cluding KFKX, at Hastings, Neb., which was lately discontinued." The programs to tho Far North con- sist principally of personal messages gathered from all over the United States, Canada, England, Scotland and Ireland. Thoy are addressed to mem- bers of tho Iloyal Canadian Mounted l^ollce, who patrol the Northwest Ter- ritories and Yukon district of C!anada; to traders and trappers of tho two great fur companies â€" tho Hudson Bay Company and Rovillon Freres, and to missions of the Oblal.: Fpthers among the Eskimos. The furthest-north In- habited post In the world, a Btatlon of the Royal Mounted I'olice at Dacho Toninsula, Ellesmoroland, within 10 ',| degrees of tho North Polo, Is one of the regular llstonlng points for the Westinghouse broadcasts.

It is a type of selftahness which presents a very deflnlte hazard and Is one that every motorist abouVd make an especial effort to avoid. With millions of motorists on the Saturday road this summer. It is obvious that converting the highway into a tem- porary repair shop in case any minor trouble develop* in the car is a haz- ardous practice. The greater volume of traffic, with the fact that Ontario has raised ths speed limit for auto- mobiles, makes this danger even greater than in the past. Many motorists, however, apparent- ly are obllvtous of this danger. When a tire goes flat. Instead of pulling off the road they are content to stop on the highway and make the change. In the case of a carburetor adjustment or other minor repair to the engine this is dangerous enough, but when a tire is to be changed it is doubly hazardous because the operation requires consid- erable moving around and the use of several extra devices such aa a Jack and lug wrench. Even If the car Itself Is over on the edge of the road. If the punctured tire is on the left aide it means that the motorist will be working out In the lino of travel. With traffic bearing down upon him from both directions, naturally his position Is dangerous to himself and to other motorists. Many accidents caused by this practice have been reported and these re-ports ere responsible for the terse warning Issued by the A. A. A. and with which the O.M.L. concurrs roads: â€" "Prive the car entirely off the road before attempting to make any re- pairs to it." --♦- Raspberry Syrupâ€" Boll raspberries and strain.

Canaila's Sixty Years of Con- federation "In population Canada oonLinuea at the number aud to increase at about the rate in the United States of a hundred years earlier," wrltee Pro- fessor George M. Wrong of the Univer- sity of Toronto, in August Ourient His- tory. "Sixty-years ago Canada had about 3,500.000 people; it has now about 10,000,000. The rate of growtj:! has been slow, but in recent years the aoceleratlon has geen more rairfd. Fifty-live per cent, of the, present population is of British origin, 28 of French, and the remaining 17 per cent. i« chiefly from Continental Eur- ope. Tbes>e has been no Intmigntion frotn Fraooe, but that ttom Great BriUhi is Mkely to increase more rapMly owlog to restriotioax oa Con- tinental immigration. Although for a long time Canada was length without breadth, settlement is now taking place 800 mfVes north of the frontier of the United States. This is due partly to sctentiflc experiment* in Canada making poeslble a type of wheatâ€" the Marquisâ€" which wHl ripen In the Far North during tho short Summer; partly to the amazing de- velopment of mineral wealth which is creating populous centres not far from Hudson Bay. In spite of the growth of the agrlcuHural West, half tha population of Canada now Uvea in cities and towns, whereas fifty vears ago the proportion was only 18 per ©ent Montreal and Toronto have in- creaeod six-fold and the next twenty yeaxa may find iKrth of them Teaching the million mark, while boU'ii Winnipeg end Vancouver, v'llagea sixty yeara ago, now have some two hundred thousand people. "Canada's foreign t>i<ade, which sixty years ago amounted 4o 1120,000,000, now reaches ths annual cotoseal total of )I,S0O,O00,00O, not an entli>e1(r wholesome sign, for it Indloatee a weak home market, due to the amall growth of population. A rathe* ominous export is ttia vast quantity of paper end pulp from the exhausting asset oif the forest. Pood, on the other hand, reproduced annually, is a safe export, Th'^ enormous euppUes of food grown in Canada are Indicat- ed by the capacity of a single Cana- dian flour mill to i>roduce 14,000 bar- rels of flour a day." « _ Summer Drinks I think our husbands and families and the help, too, enjoy in the iheat of the summer a change from tea, coffee or milk. There are a few oold drinks that are especially good and thirst qtienching which I use often when the weather is hot. Orangeade â€" Pare a thin rind from four oranges and put Into a pitcher, Add an ounce of sugar to the peelings and pour over them a quart of bon- ing water. Let stand until cold. Then add the Julco ot the^oranges and thp juice of one lemon; then it"]. TheffS portions may be doubled If desired, Tsmperancs Tea â€" One cupful of strong tea, half a cupful of ginger tea, one cupful of sugar, one cupful of orange juice naif a pnpful of lemon juloe ana ^e copftil of coU water. iiix and <Uf^ Camping Styles Are Elaborate) What the Hardy CUizea^ Should Take With Him When He Goes Into Woods for a Holiday â€" His New De- vices Gone are ths days when gvttlnV ready for .camping meant digging out' one's oldest clothes and blanket*, bor<' rowing the most battered of the ktf/- clien ntonsils and inveeting in a piece of mosquito nettiiig Such simple pre- parations are thought inadequate to- day. Since caiaping evolved from the sport of hardy spirits into m fashion for all, camp irtyle» have come to the fore. They speak in such a' tone of authority that only the hardl- est heed them not, and these, too, are likely to come evntually to' conveni»' encee of the standardized type. Camp fashion shows are features of Summer sales evnts, and he who; attends them learns once for all that camping is no longer a strictly rustle affair. Take the Item of clothlnc! alone. What the well-dressed man) or woman needs for camp, in the opinion of dictators of such stylee, might cause tbe old flannel shirt to blush with shame. There must be shirts and knickers and bleuses for morning, afternoon and night, with kerchiefs and hose and sweaters to match, slickers and jsickets and coatSa boots and shoes and gloves. Campers, It is said, take thase dictates sarioujly, "The camping class on the whole has changed a great deal in the last few years," one salesman explained. "Many persons who used to spend their vacations at Summer resorts now go to camp instead. The same interest they used to devote In get- ting together a lot of fancy clothes for the resorts they nsw put on camp- ing equipment. It makes a great deal of difference to them how they look. Besides, they're not really roughing it. They're as comfortable In camp as they would be in a hotel, and they have the same urge to dress up, though fafhion calls for a dlSerent sort of dress." "Roughing It" Is Ended Houghing it, in any real sense, la en experience modern ingenuity is do- ing its best to rule out, even among those who pitch thelr'tent in a differ- ent plac3 each night. Where is tha camper now who splits his o'.vn wool and' blows his own fire? Net many of his kind are left. The camper us'ually tas a stove with oven and steamer and hinged wire grate, which folds up into a suitcase. His fuel ha borrows from the automobile gasoline tank. Electric lights- are plugged Into outlets in the car. Even a hot bath may be had comfortably In the heart of a virgin forest, since the portable folding bathtub of rubber-coated duck appeared, IVie market Is flooded with port- able ice t>ozes and ioeless refriger- atorsh kept cool by water eraporatinc through a covering of duck, and ther- mal food containers come in all sizes. There is the portable fireless cooker, too, with Its promise of hot hinches served up without delay, the lunch having been started on the stove dur- ing breakfast and finished in the cook- er while the party was taking its ride. For the camper of to-day the solitude of the wilderness is banished by the portable radio set and the silence is dispelled by the voice of ths portable phonograph. Tents Like Bungalows Tents, guaranteed mosqulto-proof, are made like little bungalows, with windows and doors and maybe a front porcib'. Or .if one prefers a cabin on-e may have it In an automobile bed}' that claims to provide all the comforts without the ungainly lines of the "house car," and to offer ths appoint- ments of a s-mall apartment without the earmarks of housekeeping on the road. At stops the driver's cab be- comes a kitchen, with stove. Ice box and sink; and when the meal has been prepared a table in the stateroom is dropped from a partition panel. The divan in the stateroom becomes a full* slae bed at night, the bedclothes com- ing from an attic In the roof, and a third passenger is accommodated on a couch in the front compartment. Everything Folds Automobile camping has brought In folding gear. The steel frame ol canvas wash basins and water buck- ets have Joints that enable them, flat- tened out, to bo carried under tha cushion of the automobile seat. There are folding baskets, folding lanterns with mica sides, folding hatches and knives, ond a spade that comes in two. There is a folding toas'er that mashes flat and a frying pan with a handle that tucks under its bottom, a folding cupboard with wlra cr.bles and metal shelves and a fork with a telescoping handle. There are folding tables and chairs; and beds fold, of course, to the size of a small golf bag, whetiber it ha an ordinary camp cot. an adjust- able frame made to fit over the seat j rms of ny touring car or mer^y a I mattress inflated with air, The last word li) folding convent- , enoes is spoken by the campers' I kltchenettp, with "» place for everjr- : thing and everything kept In its {iilace," It is a cabinet of steel with & table ioMinc; out from th» frcnt and {compartments for Ice and all kitchea supplies. Inside Us dishpan fits a nest of dishes and cooking utensils, ' and the whole fits snugly on iko run* ningboord »t Uio car.
