"Aim at playing the game of life right, and it Is surprising how good luck and bad. successes and disappointments will all fall into their proper place." Dr. Chataway explained some details of her work. Her problem is an Industrial orje dealing with the best methods of turning soy beans into oil, meal, flour, casein and a number of other products. These methods are in process of rapid development since it is only within the past few years that soy bean cultivation has leaped to a position of importance in North America.

Even now the expansion of this industry In Canada is being retarded by the lack of sufficient seed of suitable Canadian varieties. Seed is being developed at several agricultural experimental stations. In this breathing space the National Research Council plans that at least one of its staff shall become conversant with problems of the industry in the hope that by being ready to supply timely advice it may save many costly mistakes. nor General and The Lady British Israel lecture by Rev.

Wednesday Young women embarking on scientific careers "will find every step difficult," says Dr. Helen Chataway, chemist at the National Research Laboratories here. "This is nobody's fault. It is natural and inevitable. The first requisite of success is to keep from feeling resentful on this score." Dr.

Chataway says that although few women hold scientific positions it is seldom realized how small would be their number if it were not for the practice of employing women in routine, scientific jobs, prized by nobody except as a means of earning a living. Dr. Chataway feels that on the rare occasions when a woman is appointed to a responsible scientific position, her appointment is almost always attended by grave misgiving. This, she says, Is not the result of prejudice alone. The hard facts of life are against a woman making a success of such a position.

Women have plenty of ability, plenty of natural aptitude for any kind of work, but ability alone does not carry either a man or a woman very far. Even less reliable is youthful enthusiasm which often evaporates. What Is essential is a fundamental feeling of well-being, of having found one's niche in life, and this is something which cannot be found through a Job alone. tended their patronage to the Delphic Study Club's fifteenth evening, Feb. nth.
