Little Journeys In Science

CORN PRODUCTS
(By Gordon H. Guest, M.A.)

Corn, which grows abundantly on}
this continent and in the West Indies,
is perhaps one of the most widely
used grains. Apart from being a
common food in the form of meal or!
cereals, the kernel! when opened, is|
found to have three parts: the out-
side, or husk, the small oily germ,
and the mass of white material which
is mostly starch.

One bushel of corn gives approxi-
mately one pound of oil which is re-
fined and sold as a vegetable fat for
cooking. The less refined grades are
utilized for soap making or for the
Production of glycerine and nitro-
glycerine.

Starch from the corn is made into
corn starch, for cooking, and into
laundry starch. .

Angther important use of this
grain is in making corn syrup which
is a widely used product. Corn syrup
is made by converting the starch in
the corn into a sugar, known as glu-
cose, through treating it with acid in
large pressure tanks under fifty
pounds of steam. This treatment
changes the starch into the thick
sweet substance which we know a8
corn syrup.

From corn also is extracted a type
of. gum, which is used in place of
rubber to some extent. “Red rub-
ber” erasers and sponges may be
made from this substance. It is also
used in the manufacture of rubber
soles for shoes.

Outer husks of the corn and some
residue of the oil products are made
into cattle food, adding still another
to the many products of this com-
mon grain.

Silencing The Bore |
“The world’s a small place,” said
the bore. “For instance at Easter in
Paris I met a man who lives in the
next road to me. Later I met him
in Venice, then in Rome, again in|
Alexandria; and finally I crossed the
channel with him. What do you
think of that?” |
“Why didn’t you pay him what you
owed him in the first place?” asked |
the little man in the corner.

What Does Your
Handwriting Tell?

By LAWRENCE HIBBERT
(Grapho-A’

Handwriting analysis, to be ac-
curate and helpful to the writer,
must be based on lengthy research
and a painstaking regard for basic
values.

I am repeatedly asked if there is|
anything magical about ‘character |
reading from handwriting. So I am
taking this opportunity of again
stressing that when I make an
analysis of a specimen of hand writ-|
ing, I am not literally taking a rab-
bit out of your best hat, in the}
approved conjuring manner! |

It may seem to the lay-person that, |
for a Grapho-Analyst to give what)
turns out to be an accurate analysis
from handwriting, is to perform a
regular magician’s trick—a sort of
Houdini cum Maskelyne cum Thurs- |

ton device. |
Nothing could be further from
the truth. It is simply a scientific

evaluation of the indications revealed |
to the practiced grapho-analystic eye |
by the handwriting specimen. When
you go to @ doctor, and he tells you
that you have a certain organic ail-
ment, you do not imbue him mentally|
as a magician. You know that his

| medical education, his training, his/

research and his practice, have all
coalesced into an ability to diagnose |
ailments. He himself will rot regaid
himself as infallible; he may, quite

Possibly, call in extra-medical advice
from his confrerés.

And even if, as on occasion doc-
tors do, he makes a mistake, you do
not stigmatise medical men as
quacks. . Because doctors have
not yet found a cure for cancer,
you do not hesitate to go to a me-
dical man when you are suffering
pain, or feel that you have some
physical derangement.

Grapho-Analysis, like medicine and
surgery, is still searching for hidden
truths about its own science. !t is
making tremendous and rupid strides.
But do not damn it because, soie-
time in the past, you have been dis-
satisfied with one particular mem-
ber’s analysis.

I have been asked of what prac-

their handwriting analysed. As well
might one ask what use is it to a
salesman to learn how to become a
better salesman; or a business man}
to know more about his business; or
@ nurse to gain a better understand-
ing of, and more tolerant sympathy |
with her patients. |

For, as all these are sensible sug-
gestions, so is it just as essential for|
you to Know Yourself. Grapho-
Analysis shows you not only your)
general characteristics, but hidden
tendencies that may burst into char-|
acteristics at any time.

It shows you where are your
faults, and thereby gives you a}
chance to correct them. And it al-
ways puts a person on the path to
greater personal understanding, and
enables one to get more from others. |

Here are a few brief extracts from |
analyses made for readers:

E. C.—There is a frank, generous |
and sympathetic nature revealed.)
One who longs for affection, but is

sensitive to praise or blame; tvo|
sensitive, perhaps. You have 4|
strong desire for intellectual com-|

panionship, and have a love of the!
beautiful in nature or art. |

T. A—yYour writing shows that}
you have an enquiring turn of mnind: |
you wish to get at the bottom of |
things, but you are inclined to be a
little forgetful about those things in|
which you are not interested and to}

slight them. Don't let this grow.

A. W.—You have a material na-
ture, and are likely to consider your
own interest at all times, before re-|
sponding to appeals from others. You)
are not inherently generous. Do no!
let this tendency develop into “tight:
ness” or “meanness”. |

Do you want 4 personal analysis}
of your own handwriting, showing
your faults and virtues? It will|
probably amaze you with its revela-|
tions of your character, and may,
open the door of opportunity to you.

Colonization Finance Corporation

Inspection Trip To The West By
Officials Of The Organization
Mr. Louis L. Lang, of Galt, On-
rio, president of the Colonization
Finance Corporation, stated on arrival
at Winnipeg, “This is the second in-
spection trip made by myself, but is
the first trip which is being under-
taken jointly with executive officers
of member companies associated in
the work of the Colonization Finance
Corporation. My colleagues on this
inspection tour are, Mr. J. F. Weston,
vice-president of the Colonization
Finance Corporation and managing
director of the Imperial Life Assur-
ance Company; A. N. Mitchell, gen-
eral manager of the Canada Life As-
surance Company, and W. H. Somer-
ville, general manager of the Mutual
Life Assurance Company. We are

| interested in the farm management

program of our corporation because
we realize what improvement to agri-
culture means to Eastern Canada as
well as to the business interests in
the West. This year marks the fifth
year of the operation of our corpora-

tion. Beginning in 1930 with 25,000
acres under the supervision of two
farm managers, we have at present a
field staff of fifteen farm managers
and assistant farm managers cover-
ing all of Manitoba and Eastern Sas-
katchewan. The zone farm managers’
headquarters are at Winnipeg, Car-
man, Portage la Prairie, Brandon,
Killarney, Deloraine, Virden, Birtle
and Dauphin in Manitoba; and Ox-
bow, Moosomin, Weyburn, Indian
Head, Yorkton, and Canora in Sas-
katchewan. These men have under
their supervision 1,763 farms, total-
ling 602,382 acres. About 70% of
these farms are occupied and oper-
ated by their farmer owners;—the in-
terests of our member companies
being represented by mortgage or an
agreement of sale. Only 30% of the
farms are operated by tenants. One
of the objects of our work is to assist
farmers to retain the farms they are
at present operating by co-operating
with them in any improvements
which are possible, and also to make
it possible for a substantial number

of tenants to purchase the farms
which they are at present farming
under lease. The farm management
service supplied by the Colonization
Finance Corporation covers at pres-
ent all of the arable land in Manitoba
from the International boundary
north to township 38, and the East-
ern part of Saskatchewan as far as
Regina. On July 1st we established
a farm management zone in the Swan
River area, the only district we had
not covered until this year.

The object of this inspection trip
for my associates and myself is to
inspect the work which is being car-
ried on, to note how it is being re-
garded by the individual farmers and
the communities and districts in
which we operate, and to give us the
necessary information with which we
can formulate a policy for the future
of this work, which I believe to be
worth while. As rapidly as condi-
tions warrant, and as qualified men
can be obtained and trained for farm
managers, we hope to open new
zones. The necessary attention to de-
tail and the cost of this work are
naturally limiting factors.

While Mr. Somerville and I have
met most of the farm managers last
year, I am particularly pleased with
the conference arranged at Clear
Lake in the Riding Mountain Nation-
al Park which will give Mr, A. N.
Mitchell, and our Vice-president Mr.
J. F. Weston, an opportunity of meet-
ing and sizing up our men in’ the
field.

There was one change made in our
Personnel during the year, Mr. O. S.
Longman, zone manager at Indian
Head, was appointed Field Crops
Commissioner for the province of Al-
berta and he was succeeded by Mr.
W. C. McKillican, former Dean of
the Manitoba Agricultural College
Whose zone we shall visit. Our trip.
last year took us through Southern
Manitoba, particularly that portion
affected by the drouth, and Southern|
and South Eastern Saskatchewan.
This year we have planned to visit
the eastern portion of the Red River
Valley; we shall visit the Portage
plains and the Minnedosa and Neep-
ewa districts, and we expect to visit
the Swan River Valley. We shall be
accompanied by Mr. W. R. McCon-
nell of Regina, by a number of our
loan managers in the West, and
officials of our corporation. In Sas-
katchewan we expect to visit farms
in the Canora, Yorkton, and Indian
Head zones. We shall bring our
Colonization Finance Corporation in-
spection trip to a close at Regina,
after which some of our party are re-
turning East while others are pro-
ceeding westward on business of their
respective individual companies,”
