Nature's Own Salt-treated Speedway While Canadian enfdneera and research scientists have been working out methods of creating good highway surfaces by treatment with common salt, the world's most famous race-iirivers have turn- ed to natural salt-treated speedways for their world record attempts. Photo shows: A stock car speed test on the new speedway of the preat salt desert in Utah where Sir Malcolm Campbell in his famous Bluebird set a new world's record and bettered 300 miles per hour.

RESEARCH RESOURCES Viewi "Would you like some vicw.s of the hotel " asked the proprietor of the departing guest. "No thanks," replied the guest, "I (have plenty of my own." Dr. J. M. Swaine, Director of Re- search, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, in a recent ad- dress on co-ordination of research, gave a brief outline of Canada's re- search resources. Canada, he said, had great resources in her institut- ions in able and well-trained re- searchers, but that there was great need for more of them. The Domin- ion Department of Agriculture, with headquarters at Ottawa, had a staff of experts, together with 60 'abor- atories, large and small, which were devoted chiefly to agricultural re- search. They were attached to dif- ferent Branches of the Department and were distributed throughout all the provinces. There were 34 experi- mental farms in the various provinc- es in which research projects wert conducted, and there were more than 200 illustration stations available for testing and demonstrating the results of research. Through this system of field lab- oratories and farms, with oflRcers directing contact with the major field problems throughout the Dom- inion, the Department of Agriculture had a set-up for field research which was probably unexcelled, and it had good facilities also for certain types of laboratory research. In addition, there were several hundred officers engaged in the administration of Dominion .'Vgricultural Acts and in extension and service work along many lines, so that excellent liaison was provided between research on the one hand and the industry on the other. The National Research Council, said Dr. Swaine, had well equipped laboratories in a splendid, modern building, situated at Ottawa, with a small but highly-trained staff devot- ed in the main to fundamental agri- cultural research. In addition to the Division of Biology and Agriculture, the Division of Physics and Engine- ering and the Division of Chemistry conduct researches on special agri- cultural problems involving those sciences. The agricultural colleges in the different provinces had many mem- bers of the staff and graduate stud- ents engaged in research, and they were making very important con- tributions in this field. They had, in addition, the most important func- tion of discovering and training the future research workers. The Prov- incial Departments of Agriculture were conducting many research pro- jects, in great part in connection with the agricultural colleges. Like the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, they had highly efficient ex- tension services which formed an in- valuable liaison between the research and the industry. Then there were the university laboratories, outside the agricultural colleges, with in- dividual research workers engaged on | problems affecting agriculture. Fur- ther, there was the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists which was a powerful factor in the ad- vancement and co-ordination of agricultural research through its committees, the many contacts it had facilitated, and through its public- ations and moral support. Various professional societies had in the same way contributed in their re- spective fields.

Misses Leunette and Vlolette Swed- burg, teacher and high school stu- dent respectively, covered the 1,200 miles and only walked two miles. They even took a ride in a lumber wagon. Four days after leaving Radville, In the southern part ot the province near Weyburn, they found themselves 60 miles from home at Denzil, on the Alberta border. They travelled by Regina, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon. A Saskatche- wan university professor was one gentleman who gave thetn a lift In his car. A motoring theatre man- ager helped them complete a 110- mlle jaunt from Wilkie to Saskatoon and even gave them a couple ot pass- es for a Saskatoon theatre.

Lappin CUTTING THE HOUSSl.KEePING ALLO\*ANCE New Divorce Rule By British Courts London. â€" British husbands have been warned that the law will con- sider they have committed a much greater matrimonial offence if they desert their wives and "leave them in a state conducive to adultery" than if they had committed "one Iso- lated and casual act of adultery." This Important new divorce law ruling, which means In effect that husbands who desert their wives and later petition for divorce will stand much less chance of getting a decree than hitherto, was handed down by Justice Sir Herbert du Parcq. The main result of the ruling will be that a husband seeking a divorce will now have to ask the court to ex- orcise its discretion In his favor if he had deserted his wife before the lat. ter committed adultery and thus laid herself open to divorce proceedings. To Preserve Lenin's Body For 100 Years Moscow. â€" Prof. Boris llyich Zbar-' sky said recently that the body ofj Nikolai Lenin, father of Commun-; ism, may be preserved for the next ; 100 years. i He is on- of the inventors of the secret process of embalming by which Lenin's remains were treated | 11 years ago. The professor said i that he and his colleague, Prof. Via- j dimir Petrovich, were satisfied be- , yond all e.xpectations. | At the time the body originally I was treated, said Professor Zbar-j sky, he and Petrovich had feared it j could not be preserved more than ; two years, but that today it still is , in "perfect condition." I Thou.sands of persons have view- ed the body in its marble tomb in | Red Square. The inventor said the ; secret of its preservation might be made public in 10 or 15 years, For Three Cents Writes the Halifax Herald: As , .someone has said, the public pays five cents for an orange or a packet 'â-  of chewing-gum, and three cents for a newspaper. ! And an intelligent public has no difficulty in striking the balance ot j relative values. i Time was when the newspaper j was a "luxury" enjoyed by few. To- I day the newspaper is a necessity â€" available to all. And it is a striking j commentary on progress when we ' remember that the dally paper is \ in the hands of the majority In this j land on the day ot publication. | Those who edit and publish news- paper under.itand, perhaps better than most, just what immense value actually is bound up in one single I edition â€" the work that goes Into it, | the bewildering ramifications of the i news-gathering systems that supply { it and make it possible, the vast j network ot communication touahing every portion ot the globe and flash- ing reports of events and develop- rnents to the hands of those who get them Into type and "on the street." The dally cost ot this is enormous, almost Incalcuable. .\nd the per- son who buys the paper gets It a. I for the price of a postage-stamp. . A lawyer friend of mine onCe told me In conversation that it wa;^ his considered opinion, after many years of practice, and during which he had handled nomn thousands of 'domestic' cases, that ninety per cent, of do- mestic troubles, many of them lead- ing to the Divorce Court, were inspir- ed by some monetary problem. 1 have, come to believe that he was pretty near right. My own post-bag reveals the truth of his statement, for I am frequently being a=ked for advice on some domestic problem, and almost invariably there is money connected with it somewhere. Here Is an extract from one such letter. The writer is a married wo- man â€" I fancy a devoted and faithful wife and mother â€" she writes: â- 'I have been fifteen years married. Until now, the only complaint that 1 could ever make against my husband was that he never seemed very will- ing to take me into his confidence in matters financial. He would never discuss his business affairs with me. Sometimes It hurt me. but I tried hard not to let him see It. â€" A relative ot mine died some time ago and I in- herited some money. Now that 1 have money, my husband has cut my housekeeping allowance which never was more than was needed to keep the home going respectably. He Is showing a meanness that Is very an- noying, yet I do not want, for the sake of our two children, to stir up strife In the home. Can you advise me how to act tor the best?" Of course, there Is more to this letter than I have quoted. But I have quoted enough to show the prob- lem. I have profound sympathy for this good woman. But I am just wondering what motive prompts the I husband''3 behaviour. Some men, you ! know, do not talk business or money matters with their wives for this good reason that they do not want to worry their wives. They may be wrong. Indeed. I think In most cases they are. I have known such men land themselves in trouble, and in many cases that have come to my at- tention. If they had confided In their wives and trw ted to their intuitive wisdom they might have been saveu from floundering on the rocks. Other men don't talk business with their wives because they feel that women don't know anything about business. They are certainly wrong. There are many women who have tar better business ability than some men who pride themselves in being "bi>4ne8s men." But what both husbands and wives should remember is, that marriage is a partnership. A worthwhile wife Is always anxious to share, not only her husbands joys and successes, but alfo his cares and burdens. The husband who denies his wife that privilege may be doing her, not only an injustice, but a very serious In- jury. In this particular case it is no use speculating why this husband is so reticent about talking business with hi5 wife. The real question isâ€" why, because his wife happens to come into a little money on ber own, has he taken to cutting her houskeeping allowance. A woman is entitled to have a little money of her own. Be- sides, since she works for her hus- band In the home, she has also a right to her share of what he earns, so the hu-band ought to allow his wife a houskeeping allowance gen- erous enough to give her a small margin for herself. The chances are, that even that margin will be used for the home. I don't wonder that my correspond- ent is beginning to feel aggrieved, but I do feel that she will never be able to do a thing about it until she has had a perfectly frank and open conversation with her husband. She does not seem to have had this. Perhaps her husband is quite uncon- scious ot doing anything wrong. He may be carrying some burden that she knows nothing about. He may even be anxiou.s to talk things over with her, but lindiug It hard. Let my friend make the approach to her hu.sband, and let her do it in a kind, but firm and frank way. and it that does not clear the air 1 will be glad to hear from her again. She may have something more to tell me that will give me a clue as to the real trouble. a * • NOTE: The writer of this column is a trained psychologist and an au- thor of several works.

But Miss Gertrude Shanks' hobby pays dividends. In fact. It paid her way through college, for her hobby is cocker spaniels, and for the last Ave years she has devoted her spare time to raising the silken-haired, long-eared Uttle chaps and selling them, at her home in University Heights, O., suburb of Cleveland. Last June Miss Shanks was gradu- ated from Western Reserve law school, fourth in her class. She was elected to the Order of Coif, honor- ary law fraternity and to Phi Beta Kappa. She will attend the Universl- sity ot Minnesota when the autumn term begins continuing her study ot political science begun at Reserve. She won a scholarship for this ad- vanced study, which not only paid her tuition for a year, but also gave her $B00. She has been selected also as an alternate for a $1,300 scholarship to Yale University law school. UNDECIDED ABOUT FUTURE Gertrude is undecided about the fu- ture, whether she will make law or political science her lite work. She Is working this summer in a law oftice, and likes it. She would like to be a regular lawyer, she states, pleading her own cases in court. I was first introduced to Lady Fawn, mother of six roly poly little fellow?.

She also flushed a woodccok near here recently. The name cocker spaniel comes from the fact that they are Kuglish hunting dogs, and their favorite game is the woodcock. They do not point like the usual hunting dog, but flush their game. They make for the woodcock's nest and flush the bird straight up, so that the hunter can bag it.
