if' : t •^ I • Social Hygiene Council Meets Leading Health Association Reports Excellent Year's Work Th« drastic measure o( separating the nexes after they have reached tlie agi) of ten years In public and high «cboolri, and perhaps even later tu the iDSlUutions of higher learning and the unlvarultiM, waa recommended by th« stjnding commlttae on venereal llseane at the annual meeting of the Canadian ilygieuo Council, In Mont- reul, recently. The object behind this proposal is the control of gonorrhea, which. It waa stated, has increased Biggar, Toront very much within the past few years among adosceuts and adults under twenty years of age. Objection was taken to thi.s. however, on the grounds that coeducation, as the great educa- tor, Frobejj pointed out, had many line things to offer the youth of the country. The recommendation was, accordingly, forwarded without adop where a large decrease In lofant mor- tality was noted. Officers Elected Ofllcer.s for the coming year were appointed as fi)II(rws: President, Hon. Mr. Justice Rid- rtell, Toronto; vice-presidents, Hon. Dr. Korbes Godfrey. Toronto: Mrs. A. M.

Another question on which the meeting Rplit was the matter of the prevention of venereal disease. Pro- phylaxis would prove more effective than spiritual guidance in ridding the country of this disease, Dr. C. P. Pen- wick, of Toronto, stated. "We talk about Immunizing people against ty- phoid HuJ scarlet fever, and as long as we are content to leave venereal dlsea.ie to the spiritual administra- tors wo are not doing our full duty." Dr. A. H. Desioges, director of the di- vision of venereal disease for the Province of Quebec, differed strongly from I)r.

Work on Dock Started In antlclpatiou of the arrival of the 'Mayflower" withiu a month, erection of aa aircraft dock 140 feet long and 72 feet wide has been started at Round Hill Airport. The foundations have been complete<l. The 'Mayflower' 'la expected to start her flight from Akron, O., early next mouth.

Will Te«t Beacons The fog re.soarch work, which liegan several months ago, includes studies of the penetrating characteristic o< lights ot various colors through artl- tlclal fog. This work, through the use of the 'Mayflower." will be ex- tended to include radio beacon aids to navigation. The general research programme will be in charge of Prof. Edward L.

The motor used "$4.()S worth of furnace oil" as compared with $21 to $26 worth ot gasoline, which would have been used by the conventional type of motor, it was said. The Diesel motor presents many ob-! vious advantages for ahcratt use. ac-' cording to its sponsors, but has not been used hitherto because of its weight. The Packard motor weighs less than Uiree pounds per horse-; power. Efllcient aircraft gasoUne motors WL-igh approximately l.t pounds per horsepower. The weight ot the fuel renulrod tor a Diesel mo- tor, however, is said to be consider-" ably below that ot the conventional a great mistake if we permit our- selves to fall into that frame of mind now.

The desijtners also point out that it has been possible to fly the new motor without exhaust stacks or manifolds, thus eliminating difllcult design problems. It Is of; radial typo and offers less head resis- tance than the average radial gaso- line engine the engineers claim. Each ot the Diesel's nine cylinders works independently, aud the engin- eers say it is probable four would produce enough power to keep an airplane afloat at low altitudes, mini- mizing the possibilities ot complete engine failure. Since the carburetlon system does not depend upon gravity,' the motor will operate successfully In any position, they add. Ignition is furnished by compres- sictt of ths air charge. Hence there are no hijih tension electric currents to become short circuited nnd stop the motion. This also eliminates radio interference, Packard ofllcials .say. so that fliers may be guided more safely when Tunning "blind" through fog and thick weather. This feature is regarded .as ot great importance as aircraft are expected to rely more and more upon radio beacons for direc- tion.
