FUNERAL ORATION IN TWO LANGUAGES

Preliminary arrangements tor the establishment in Alexandria and dis- trict of a committee to promote the National Employment Commission’s Home Improvement Plan were made Monday afternoon, when Walter B. Bowker, district representative of the Ontario Advisory Committee of the Home Improvement Plan, ext>lained the plan to a representative group of local businessmen and eitizens. A com- mittee was formed for the Alexandria district which comprises the townships of Lochiel and Kenyon as well as Alexandria. A separate committee will be formed to promote the plan in Lancaster and Charlottenburgh town- ships.

The committee for the Alexandria district will be composed of .Gilbert Se- guin, Reeve of Lochiel, Archie Mc- Kinnon, Reeve of Kenyon, Mayor J. A Laurin, Reeve E. A. MacGlllivray, Rev. Ewen J. Macdonald, Rev. D. M. Macleod, G. W. Shepherd, Col. A. G. F. •Macdonald, A. Chenier, R. H. Cowan, Donald .A. Macdonald, K.C.; J. P. Mul- lett, W. W. Dean, Dr. H. L. Cheney, A. Danis, A.V. Langton, A. Dale, I. Bois- venue, A. Kelly, A. Duggan and R. Rouleau. The committee met on Wed- nesday evening to arrange for a pub- lic meeting in Alexander Hall on Wed- nesday,, April 28th ,when the Home Improvement Plan will be enlarged upon for the benefit of the general public.

Under the Home Improvement Plan, home owners, whether living on farms -or in communities, can borrow money from the banks at a very low interest rate and without endorsement or se- curity for the purpose of repairing, modernizing or otherwise improving their property. The loans are made for from one to five years, and are repay- able on an instalment basis.

While the primary purpose of the Home Jmprovement Plan is to act as

■a “pump-prime” for the building trades in Canada and so provide em- ployment for Canadian workmen, it also offers extraordinary opportunities for contractors and other business men connected with the building trades who wish to take advantage of its possibilities.

There are many home owners and farmers in this district who, for econ- omic reasons, have allowed their pro- perties to fall into a state of disre- pair. There are also citizens with in- comes but without adequate savings whose homes, while not in quite the same state of disrepair, need to be im- proved and modernized to make them more comfortable and livable.

Through the Home Improvement Plan .the Dominion Government has made it possible for these home own-

■ers to carry out needed repairs and improvements notwithstanding the fact that they might not have the available funds required. This has been made possible through the co-

^ operation of the banks in providing the home owner desirous of improving his property with the necessary funds at a very low rate of interest.

The money is borrowed on a straight character loan. No endorsement or other security is needed. The only stipulations are that the borrower must own the property, and he must have a good credit standing in his community. Mortgages on the property dp not prevent the obtaining of the loans, providing the mortgage is in good standing.

The interest rate is 3 1-4 per cent discount, and no extra or additional charges are permitted. This rate works out at 6.32 simple interest, or, $3.25 per $100 per year. Thus on a $100 loan for one year, the borrower would pay about $3.36. The loans are repaid on the instalment basis; in the case of borrowers with steady incomes, month- ly. and, with farmers,, the payments are made seasonaily.

The maximum amount that may be borrowed on a single family house is $2,000; and on multiple family dwel- lings, such as duplexes and apartments, the maximum is $1,000 on the build- ing and $1,000 extra for each family unit. Thus, on a duplex, the maximum amount would be $3,000.

Loans under $1,000 may be paid back in three years, and loans over $1,000, can run for five years.

Built to serve an increasing number of parishioners in the eastern out- skirts of Cornwall, St. Felix de Valois Chm-ch will open for the first Mass on Sunday. Rev. J. A. Goulet, parish priest, and Rev. Canon J. E. Secours, of Ottawa, will conduct the services.

The new parish will embrace 305 families ,and will serve all the dis- trict from Guy street east to Gray’s Creek. The northern boundary of the parish is North Branch road, dnd the southern limit the St. Lawrence River. The church has accommodation for about 700 persons.

It is not expected that the interior of the church will be entirely finished by Sunday, but the altar fittings and seats will be installed. Some. panélling on the wall behind the altar will be completed next week. The bricking of the exterior of the church has not yet been started. All the seats tor the new church and for St. Francis de Sales, Church, completed some time ago, were made by Alfred Belsuiger, general contractor for St. Felix de Valois Chimch. Minor alterations to the altar of the church have delayed workmen for some time, but this wàs expected to be finished before Sunday.

The interior of the church is finish- ed in cream and brown shades, witn very attractive lighting fixtufes. There will be two wide rows of pews down the centre, with small rows along each side. Lining the side walls of the church are plaques depicting the Ways of the Cross, donated by par- ishioners.

Sunday morning. Low Mass, will be celebrated at eight o’clock, daylight saving time, by Rev. J. E. Secours, and High Mass at 10 o’clock will be cele- brated by Father Goulet. Canon Se- coims will deliver the sermon at both services. In the afternoon at three o’clock, the Devotion of the Way of the Ciross will be conducted, by Father Goulet and (janon Secours. Music will be provided by a new parish choir.

At a later date. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Felix Couturier, Bishop of the Diocese of Alexandria, will bless the new church.

Delegation To Toronto Given Good Deception

The committee from Alexandria Town Council which went to Toronto over the week end to interview offi- cials concerning public works and re- lief questions, was received most en- couragingly and hopes are high that something constructive will result from the trip. R. M. Smith, Deputy Minister of Highways, who was interviewed concerning the possible building of a cement road on Main St. here, was most receptive toward the idea and if the question of resurfacing the other five-foot stretch on the curb can be ironed out, there is a distinct possi- bility of the cement being laid this summer. In the matter of relief grants a heart-

ening reception was also given the delegation and increased ' grants should be forthcoming this year.

The delegation consisted of Mayor J. A. Laurin, Reeve E. A. MacGilllvray and Town Clerk, j. j. Morris. They were driven to Toronto by Mr. Clar- ence Ostrom—not the first time his car has been at the disposal of Tor- onto bound delegations.

Dance in Alexander Hall Successful Event

A large number attepded the Euchre, Bridge and Dance held under the aus- pices of Alexander Hall Committee, on Monday evening. Competition was keen at both euchre and bridge while the music of Burton Reward’s band was much enjoyed by the many dancers. The Hall was especially decorated for the occasion and streamers, bal- loons, etc. made a colorful, happy at- mosphere that added much to the en- joyment of the evening.

Prize winners at cards were: Euchre —Ladies—Mrs. J. McDonald, Miss Isa- bel! Macdonell; Gentlemen — John Routhler, Robt. McDonald; Bridge, Miss E. Landry and Mr. John Chish- olm, R R. I, Alexandria.

The marriage took place in St. George’s church, Ottawa, on Monday afternoon at half past one o’clock, of Miss Katherine Bartram, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Bartram, to Lt.- Col. W. John Fi'anklin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Franklin of Alexan- dria.

Rev. Dr. H. H. Bedford Jones, the Rector, officiated and the Wedding music was played by Mrs. V. A. Kemp, the church organist, and at the sign- ing of the register Miss Evelyn Miller sang Because, in sweet voice.

For this occasion the church was adorned with palms and ferns inters- persed with spring blooms.

Given in marriage by her father, the bride was unattended. She wore a most becoming ^ gown of turquois blue crepe, her hat of straw being in cor- onation red shade and she wore red accessories.

Immediately following on the cere- mony Colonel Franklin and his bride left on a motor trip to New York and the Southern States and on their re- turn will take up residence at 217 MacLaren street, Ottawa.

Lumber lllll ill Dawkesbury Darns, Loss ol {T2S,DDD

HAWKESBURY, Ont., April 22. — One of the largest fires in the recent history of this lumber- ing town left one of the Haw- kesbury Lumber Company’s mUls a complete mass of charred ruins here this morning. The fire, the cause of which is unknown, was first noticed between 4.30 a.m. and 5 a.m. by Night Watchman Charles Timbers, but such was the headway the blaze had gained and whipped up by a high Wind that ' within two- hours the en- tire building with all its contents were completely destroyed.

Operated One Season

A fire in 1928 on the same site as this morning’s conflagration made it necessary for the Hawkesbury Lum- ber Company to re-build and equip a new mill. This had only been oper- ated during the season of 1929 and since that time has been idle. A third major disaster in recent years with the lumber company was in 1929 when the yards were completely swept. In what was estimated as a million dollar fire between seven and eight million feet of lumber was totally destroyed.

Loss up to $125,000. The Hawkesbury fire department

rushed to the scene this morning to fight the fire in a blinding snowstorm and a high east wind, which made it impossible to extinguish the blaze be- fore it had razed the entire building to the ground .Fire Chief Pierre Ber- trand estimated the damage some- where 'between $100,000 and $125,000- and particulars about insurance car- ried could not be learned this morn- ing. The company’s head office is in Ottawa.

The Gatineau, Electric Light ana Power Co. also suffered considerable loss when several of their poles and lines running near the building were brought down by the fire. 0

C. of M. To Entertain Varied entertainment calculated to

appeal to all, makes up the programme for Monday evening’s concert being staged in Alexander Hall, under aus- pices of the Children of Mary of St. Finnan's Parish. A well-coached one-act play, a girl’s revue and songs, etc. by the talented young Bobby O’Reilly, Montreal, make up a pro- gramme which should draw a capa- city house.

Realty Transaction Mr. J. A. Lalonde, merchant, became

the owner of the Maurice Cardinal, house. Main street south, as the result of a real estate deal on Friday last. Mr, Elzear Bertrand from whom the house was bought, in turn took pos- session of Mr. Lalonde’s 72 acre farm, on lot 4 in the 3rd Kenyon.

Rev. Donald Morrison Macleod, B.A., popular Minister of the Alexandria United Church, was honored by the United Church Theological College, in Montreal, at the closing Convocation held last night in Emmanuel Church, when the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him. The honor- ary title was also conferred upon Rev. Robert George Katsunoff, p.A., A. T. C.M., minister in charge of the Church of All Nations, Montreal, while several Bachelor of Divinity degrees and diplo- mas were awarded

Rev. Mr. Macleod became pastor of the Alexandria United Church in Nov- ember 1924, coming here from Moose Creek, and since that time has won the friendship of all lrresi>ective of race or creed. A wide circle throughout the Presbytery will learn with pleasure of the conferring of this honor on one of its most popular members.

Oshawa Strike Settled Radio newscasts last night brought

word that the Oshawa strike of Gen- eral Motors employees had been set- tled. No details were given. 0

Marriage BOUGIE — GAUCHE

St. Joseph’s Church, Lancaster, was the scene of a happy event on Monday morning, when Miss Cecile Gauche, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eusebe Gauche, Lancaster township, became the bride of Donat Bougie, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bougie, Cornwall East, but formerly of Martinto'wn, Rev. R. Rouleau celebrating the nup- tial Mass in the presence of many re- latives and friends.

The bride 'who was given in mar- riage by her father wore a powder blue three piece swagger suit and carried a bouquet of Talisman roses and maiden hair fern. They were un- attended.

Following 'the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Bougie, relatives and friends mo- tored to Cornwall where a buffet luncheon was served at the home of the groom’s parents. They left later by motor on a honeymoon trip to Tor- onto and Niagara Palls.

The many lovely gifts received tes- tified to the high regard in which the young people are held.

Radio and Newspaper Advertising (Oshawa Times)

A remarkable statement was made by Roger W. Babson, famous com- mercial statistician. He broadcasted an advertisement by radio at a cost of $3,000 and received 16 inquiries and two orders as a result. A couple of days later he printed his advertisement in five newspapers in different cities at a cost Of $3,000 and received 4,000 re- plies. The radio advertisement cost him $166.66 for each reply, whereas the newspaper advertisement was only 75 cents a reply. Roger Babson is one of the most alert business men on the North American continent and his opinion on this matter will undoubt- edly have tremendous weight. An ad- vertisement that is read in the news- paper, set up in an attractive manner and frequently well illustrated, gets the attention of the reader, and leaves a lasting impression.

At their home. Main street north, Maxville, on Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Boisvenue quietly celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Boisvenue both enjoy good health. Mr. Boisvenue attends to the gardening and daily chores, while his wife, in a manner enviable to younger people, cares for the work incidental to good housekeeping.

Formerly residents of St. Isidore de Prescott, Mrs. Boisvenue, who is now 80 years of age, was formerly Emma Lalonde, and married Mr. Boisvenue, who is now 87, at Fournier, on April 20, 1874. They have resided in Max- ville lor almost 60 years, and they re- late many interesting tales of pioneer life in the district.

The only detracting feature of the otherwise happy gathering was a hint of sadness caused by the death recent- ly of Mrs. Pat Lalonde, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Boisvenue. 'With the ex- ception of two sons, Elie and Louis, who were killed in action during the Great Wax, this was the first break m a family of 13 children. Other mem- bers of the family are, Mrs. Ferdinand Deschamps, Mrs. Levis Lalonde, Mrs. Jos. M. Cardinal, Mrs. L. Dorie, John. Frank and Peter Boisvenue, all resid- ing in Maxville or vicinity; Isaac Bois- venue, Alexandria; Mrs. Jos. Belanger, Hull, Que., and Mrs. William Belan- ger, Montreal. 0

In St. Columba’s Cathedral, Pembroke, where he was ordained half a century ago, Rt. Rev. Thomas Patrick Ryan, Bishop of Pembroke, was paid a final im- pressive tribute on Tuesday morning by the clergy and laity of near and far. Most dioceses throughout the Dominion were officially represented at the funeral, sever- al archbishops and bishops were present and those unavoidably absent were offici- cially represented.

A confrere of Bishop Ryan when he

studied theology at the Montreal Grand Seminary, Archbishop Guillaume Forbes, of Ottawa, officiated at solemn pontifical mass of requiem. A striking tribute to Bishop Ryan’s exceptional qualities of mind and heart was paid by Rt. Rev. Felix Couturier, Bishop of Alexandria, who delivered the funeral oration in English and French.

In his funeral oration. Bishop Coutu- rier said: "Pause here a while at the side of the dead body of Patrick Thomas that was Bishop of Pembroke, and with the help of the Fourth Psalm, Tn peace in the self same I will sleep and take my rest for thou, O Lord, hast established me in hope,’ lift up the corner of the veil that you may catch a glimpse of the secret that gave strength during his 70 and more years of life and the 25 years of episco- pate.

“The roots of this Bishop’s life,” he de-

clared, “were deeply set in faith and un- shaken loyalty and confidence in God. So that when he looked over his glasses it was as though he came from within a high wall in which he lived in company with God to look at the strange and foolish ways of men.

“So strong was his faith and confidence in God that he seemed to live as an athlete, his lips constantly parted to take more breath on his way to Him who gave gladness to his heart, and so at the hour of midnight when his course was run and the Master at last came to give him eter- nal life, as a tired worker in the vineyard he laid down the burden and breathed those last words of the Psalm he loved

,j>,estv._,..,. . “And so this morning have you gather-

ed round to pray for him and with rever- ence and honor see his body reverently laid in its last resting place. His memory shall live long in your midst, but let your prayers hasten on the complete fulfillment of his hope that through the sleep and rest of death he may soon reach the com- plete and everlasting morning of the eternal day in God’s most holy presence.

“You have a debt of justice to pay to him who dedicated every moment of his life to your sanctification, and to the peace of your soul.

“Let your prayers now give him peace_ You, his priests, have shared his priest- hood during his life, now in gratitude share your sacrifices with him in death.

“We, the bishops, his brothers, are here that we may also remember that as he has gone, so in the same way we shall go. We are here to join our prayers to yours, to see his body along its last journey, and give it the honor it belongs to the temple of the most holy, anointed with the con_ secration of the fullness of the priesthood of Christ.

“Receive our prayers, O Lord, on be- half of the soul of thy servant, Patrick 'Thomas, that if it is still soiled by any earthly stains they may be wiped out by Thy merciful forgiveness.

“Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.”

Among the clergy were the following of Alexandria diocese : Msgr. D. R. Mac- donald, Glen Nevis ; Revs. J. M. Foley and R. J. MacDonald, Cornwall ; C. F. Gauthier, Apple Hill ; A. L. Cameron, Moose Creek, and W. J. Smith, D.C.L., Alexandria,

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS ' w V w w

A ms TO BOOST FARM EXPORTS BY $100,000,000

Service to Put Buyers and Sellers in Touch is Planned.

An inerea.se of $100,000,000 or moi'e annually in the sales of Canadian agricultural products in the markets of the world, but particularly in the markets of Britain and t,he United States, is the ob- jective of Hon. James G. Gardiner, ,Federal Min- ister of Agriculture.

Following his personal survey of marketing opportunities in the United Kingdom last summer, Mr. Gardiner has secured an appr.opriation of $400,- 000 for the purpose of launching a more aggressive and intelligent^- directed sales and advertising policy to induce Britain’s millions to buy Cana- dian products. Detailed Plans.

Reorganization and consolidation of the mar- keting services of the Dominion Department of Agi’iculture will now go forward with the follow- ing objects; ,

1. Expansion of tbe information service with respect to markets, supplies, movement, sale and merchandizing;

2. Exploration of markets and their require- ments, and, in so far as may be practicable, the direction of product movement; '

3. Investigation of marketing methods, prac- tices and facilities, their improvement and develop- ment of greater, economy and effciency in them ;

4. Investigation of transportation, costs and facilities and appropriate action;

5. Assistance in making known the qualities and merits of Canadian agricultui’al products ;

6. Placing of prospective purchasers in touch

plicant’s income and obligatioms, the nature of the proposed improvement, the amount of the loan for which application is being made.

As soon as the Bank mana.ger is satisfied that you are a proper, person to whom the money may be lent, he advises you to that effect and the money is lent to you upon a promissory note, without the necessity of finding supitable endorsers as is usually the case when trying to borrow money.

] ' The rates and the terms upon which the money is lent are extremely simple and as cheap as it has

[been possible to make them. j Credit up to $2,000 is gra,nted to all property owners. A discount rate of 3 1-4 per cent for a one- year loan, and is repayable in 12 monthly instal- ments. This credit, however, can be extended to three years, at a proportionate rate of interest.

On a one-year loan of $100.00, for example, the net proceeds to the borrower would be .$96.75, making a discount eha.rge of $3.25. This loan to be paid back in 12'monthly instalments of $8.34 each.

; For a two-year loan of $100.00, the net pro- ceeds to the borrower would be $93.93, making a

I discount charge of $3.07. This loan to' be paid back in 24 monthly instalments of $4.17 each,

i For a three-year loan of $100.00, the net pro- ceeds to the borrower would be .$91.27. This loan to be paid back in 36 monthly instalments of $2.78 each-

I The borrower’s first step should be to con- sult a building contractor, or if he intends to do the work hiuiself, to form an accurate estim-

|ate of the cost of the proposed improvements. Having obtained an estimate of the cost of the

I improvements, he is then in a, position to decide how much money he need borrow.

I In many cases it may not be necessary to go to the bank, as the contractor can be authorized to

with sources of supply and those who have products for sale with market outlets for such products ;

7. Further development of standards for agricultural products, and, in co-operation with the Provinces, education in respect to established standards. Co-ordination of Services.

This widened service will be provided by a co-ordii^ation, of various ex,istîiqg ser-vices to be centralized into one unit of administration to be known as Marketing Services of the Dominion Department of Agriculture.

The organization will include a director, who will be responsible to the Deputy Minister, assistant directors in charge of important features of the work including dairying, fruit and vegetables, live stock and live-stock products, poultry and poultry products economies, transportation, information, and consumer service.

So that production may be properly related to marketing it is planned to set up a parallel,unit to be known as production service. The Dominion Expérimental Farms Branch will be maintained as an investigation and illustration unit and the present organization will be continued with certain adju.st- ments, while the more strictly science services will be placed under the direction of a director trained in science. To Explore Markets. ' -

The most important activity to be undertaken as the result of this extensive reorganization will be that of more energetic efforts to promote the sales of Canada’s farm products overseas. Ex- perts in tbe various lines of production will be sent to explore personally the marketing possibilities and to maintain ,a continuous contact with the marketing operations.

A similar campaign will be employed in connec- tion with exports to the United States, especially live stock.

A more lucrative return for Canadian cattle, it is believed, can be realized with a closer study of American rharket conditions throughout the year, only in such a way can the best use be made of the widened market provided by the Canadian-United States trade pact.

HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN

You can borrow up to two thoiisand dollars ,on a simple promissory note ,the only conditions being that the money must be used to improve your farm or home. You do not give a mortgage on your farm, no endorsers are needed on your note, you pay only a discount rate of' 3 1-4 per cent, And you have up to three yeai's in which to repay the loan in monthly instalments.

That is the Home Improvement Plan in its sim- plest terms.

The primary conditions are that the borrowers must own property of some sort, and that he must be a person with a good credit standing, because the loan is made on the basis of character and in- come, not on collateral security.

Any person, man or woman, is held to be an owner of property if he actually holds title to it, whether the house or farm or other buildings are mortgaged or not; by good credit standing is meant a person, who has the reputation of paying his bills promptly and who is attentive to his busi- ness. V

Thé money must be used for improvement of existing property. T.he farmer can use it to mod- ernize his barns, paint his buildings, erect wind- mills, pumps, improve sewerage facilities, in fact do anything that wUl improve his property, and so add to its value.

The method of obtaining the loan has been made as simple as possible.

The prospective borrower goes to the local branch of his Bank and states how much he wants and for what purpose.

The manager then gives him a form to fill in. On this form are asked various necessary questions, such as the nature of the property owned, the ap-

borrow the money for the owner of the property, and in such cases the contractor will make all the arrangements for the loan.

Even if the proposed impi'ovements should cost the whole of the two thousand dollar limit, and even if the borrower has not any cash that he can use for this purpose, these conditions need not deter him from making an application for the loan. So long as the Bank manager feels that the applicant is a person of integrity who will repay the loan in the stipulated time, he will authorize the adancement of the credit.

The lending institutions are anxious to do their part to help you to improve your property. Red tape has been eliminated and the whole proceed- ing has been made as simple as possible. The far- mer can go to the bank or other financial insti- tution with every assurance that, he will receive a sympathetic and helpful hearing.

The requirements are very fair and reasonable and any person who can satisfy them will be able to secure a loan to improve his property and in- crease its value without subjecting himself to fin- ancial strain.

The money is not lent by the government, but by the Banks, and application must be made to the Bank or other financial institution. On its part, however, the government has agreed to guarantee the Bank against loss up to fifteen per cent of the total obligations. 0 ' : i-i

SEASONABLE HINTS

(From the 0. A. ,C.|), j. Make Best Use of Old Equipment.

Until the expected increase in the farmer’s iur come has become a reality much old machinery will have to be used. It will be well to remember that in order to take advantage of any possible im- provement that may come in farm business the best possible use should be made of the equipment wo have.

'Steps taken at once to see that machinery are “all set and ready to go*' will, likely be more pro- fitable than has been the case of late years. Field breakdowns and delays while waiting for replace- ment parts will be even more expensive than usual as they may subject increasingly valuable crops to weather hazards. Also, more direct savings from early overhauls are probable as there are not the extra charges for telegrams and express for early repair orders that may be required with rush ship- niénts. 'Wjhere overhauling by hired mechanics is need, more time and attention may be expected now than later on when emergency calls for service are frequent.

Selecting New Farm Machines A new machine should be purchased only after

due consideration of its usefulness to the purchaser. A little thinking before buying will save time, worry and'expense later. O 7

DAIRIES ARE REGULATED BY CONTROL ACT

By order of the Milk Control Board of the Pro- vince of Ontario producers of milk supplying dair- ies in Co,bourg are now under the regulations of the Milk Control Act, it is learned. Satisfactory prices have been set to pay the producers of milk; while the prices have also been set at which milk and cream may be sold to stores, hotels, restaurants, hospitals and other consumers.

All dairies and distributors have been requested to secure licenses from the Milk Control Board to operate. This covers not only dairies in Cobourg, but also those located at the farms of the produ- cers : ^

The regulations, it is pointed out, cover equip- ment, plant, handling of milk, as well as the prices to be paid for milk and the price for which it may be sold. Penalties have been set, and licenses may be cancelled for not complying with the regulations of the act.—Cobourg Sentinel Review. j

Toronto, April 19.—Ai'thur W. Roe- buck, who resigned as Attorney-Gen- eral on Premier Mitchell Hepburn’s request in connection with Oshawa General Motors strike policy, today quit his post as member of the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission. I

In a letter to Mr. Hepburn today Mr Roebuck says:

“After several days of careful thought, I have reached the conclusion that it is not possible for me to con- tinue at this time as a member of the

Hydro Eelectrio Power Commission. I am indeed loth to sever my connection with my fellow Commissioner's for whom I entertain the highest regard.

“It would appear to me, however, that a Çqmmissionership adds little to any influence which I might have in matters that are essential. I am of the opinion that in the interest of the system I would be less effective on the Board than I may be off it.

“And there is another consideration, while I have heartily suppoi-ted the Government’s social and other legis- lation and am proud of its administra- tive record ,the fact remains that I have recently been compelled to dis- agree with reference to the method of handling the pending industrial dis- pute, and for me at this moment to continue in an important office under your Government would leave me open to serious misunderstanding.

I, of course, realize that you are handling the strike situation in ac- cordance with your views which as it happens differ from mine, but under the circumstances I am convinced that my proper course is to resign.

“It is with deep regret that I thus sever our only remaining official con- nection, -with the exception of our common membership in the Liberal Party, and I confess to a feeling of sadness at the circumstances which make such action on my part neces- sary.”

Island of Madeira Chief of Group of Same Name

Madeira Is the chief of the Madeira Islands and belongs to Portugal. It was visited by the Portuguese In 1419, and colonized by them about 1420. It was occupied by the British In 1801, and from 1807 to 1814,

Q'he Island Is situated in the Atlantic ocean, west of Africa. Its area Is 814 square miles, and 1rs poptdation in 1080 was 210,220. The surface is mountainous and picturesque.

The chief products are wine and sii gar. Lemons and oranges are grown there, as well as bananas, apples, man goes, grenadlllas, loquars or .lapaftese quinces, tangerines, gooseberries, cher ries, apricots, pineapples, nectarines, plums, ^mwpaws, figs, grapes, melons pears and peaches.

The inhabitants arre of Portuguese descent, and Knglish and F'reiich are understood and sp<*ken in greater or less degree by a large proportion «>f them. The island is mded as a health resort.

Ears of Elephants Serve as Aid in Cooling Body

“One of Che must Interesting forms of all temperature-control devices Is the elephant’s ear,” says an authority in the New York Herald Tribune. “That great flapping area of tissue on either side of the elephant’s head is as- sociated with the elephant’s organ of hearing and he probably uses it to ad* vantage In intensifying sounds, but its* most important function is to coo] the animal’s blood.

“The elephant possesses great bulk of body and its surface area a pound of weight is very small compared ^.o- that of smaller animals. Therefore. I't has very limited facilities for cooling Itself through radiation of heat from (he body surfaces. Its ears, however, have a very large surface for their- weight ^riie ears are constructed with, a very generous supply of blood ves- sels- if the animal becomes too warm it activates its ears by fanning them vigorously. This brings the blood- coursing through the ear blood vessels- very close to the surface where It gives off its excess heat.'

“Birds, compared with the elephant, have,an enormous body area a pound' of weight Their normal temperature- is much higher and they have great need of their feathered coatings for- heat Insulation to protect their bodies against the outside lower temperatûres. The normal temperature of birds* bodies would be a dangerous fever heat for men. The humming bird is among the warmest of creatures. Its normal temperature is about 115 degrees*

Bird Goes by Two Narne*- One of the commonest and most at-

tractive of the ornamental finches which comes to us from Africa goes by two names, “rll)bon finch,” and “cut- throat finch,” sa.vs Helen C. Ix)omis, in the Detroit News. Though the first mentione<i name may be much more pleasing to the ear, it cannot be .de- nied that the iimre fearful sounding • me is the most appropriate. For the out.sranding marking of the male Is a broad band of crlmsot» extending from the ear coverts over tbe back of the- cheeks aiivl across the throat.

Otherwise the cliief colorings of the- upper plumage of this bird are a dull golden brown and gray, relieved anj' accentuated by having many of the- feathers barred with black or white. The feathers round the eye and the front of the cheeks are also white. The breast Is fawn colored, mottled with white and barred with black. Beak and legs aré flesh colored, and Iris, brown.

The hen is much less distinguished appearing than the male, chiefly be- cause she lacks the white cheek feath- ers and the tell-tale band of crimsoa> beneath her chin.

Cold-Water Cure Medical men the world over are re-

turning to the cold-water cure as the- quickest and most permanent means of relief for a number of ailments. The first man to use cold water scientifical- ly was Vincent Preissnitz, who was born a humble peasant in the Silesiai)| mountains. He watched wild animals cure themselves with cold water and applied the treatment Co human be- ings with wonderful success. Intense- ly persecuted by the orthodox medical profession, he persisted in ciiriDg by cold water where they had failed-— broken bones, aches, and skin com- plaints—and ultimately his fame came, to the ears of tbe emperor, wbo made; him a doctor. Preissnitz founded thel first hydro; placing his belief to na-j ture rather than in drugs.—Tit-Bite; Magazine. i

RADIO LIGHTENS HOUSEWORK COMPLETE DAYTIME OUTFIT adorn the heads of many of Uiein. Tlie

Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, hSt do we put our knowledge to good use? And do we turn on soft, sweet music when we need soothing influence?

Arthur Cremlu, director of the New York Schools of Music, has been conducting experiments and says that he can prove that music helps concentra- tion.

Most of us are in a position to argue the point to a finish with him. How good are you at listening to the radio while you read or talk? Mr. Cremin says that students should have -the sweet music of Brahms or Mozart playing in the same room with them when they are doing their homework. He claims that the correct type of music helps a per- son to concentrate bettet on the subject at.hand. But not all music can attain the desired effect, he warns. Only t,he softer and more, melodious of the classics have proved satisfactory with the subjects he has studied; syncopated jazz and symphonic ar- rangements definitely will not. Mr. Cremin also found that music acted as an exhilarator when a person was bored.

Most women .have discovered that housework loses much of its monotony when done to music. The radio helps many a woman get through the breakfast dishes and routine morning jobs.

Many of the tasks are purely'’routine and call for little mental effort. S.he can dust or sweep while listening to romantic love songs. I do not pre- tend to know anything at all about the arrange- ment of a radio programme, but I gather that those who arrange them are pretty good psycholo- gists.

You may have noticed fliat tenors are in de- mand for morning programmes, and that slapstick humor gets little* time.. Morning programmes are a happy blend of practical household hints and sen- timental songs.

I think it is quite possible that the great lov- ers of the air make things a bit tough for the hard- working husband who finds that he is not a Tommy Tucker and that he has to do more than sing for his family’s supper. Between the dulcet tones of the radio tenor and the melting glances and romantic conduct of the moving picture hero, the struggling husband has some uphill competition.

Not any worse, though, than the wife who is long on all the domestic virtues but short on glamor.

Bqt be that as it may, music does soothe and is helpful in clearing an atmosphere charged with restlessness or worse. But there are times when it never will missed. As Mr. Cremm says, it de- jjeiids on the music. It must fit in with the oeca- iion or mood o'r else be insidius enough to change .the mood of listeners to fit that of the composer.

A woman I know who lias ha.d, if anyone ever had, an abundant life and who is now in her early fifties, confided in me that the only thing that made her feel her years was dance music. “It re- vives so m^y memories and saddens me far more than the saddest song possibly could,” she says. And I think I know what she means.

Every worth-while waltz is composed around .a, sad refrain. It may have its gay nioments as all Vienna waltzes have, but there is a sadness and wistfulness about all beautiful waltzes.

Possibly all vyomen react the same to dance music. I have had older women, who were chaper- oning. for instance, confide in me that the hardest thing they did was to sit complacently by wa,tch- ing the younger crowd dance.

Silly, you say? Maybe, but youth dies hard in some women. For them it is better to keep

awaj" from scenes, or sounds that have that depres- sing done-with-it-all rea.ction.

I feel quite sure that before the days of a radio in every home many were music-starved. While I think the advantages of a mixture of concentration and music are open to debate, I agree that house- work to swing time of to the uplifting influences of

vgrand opei;a is better to be endured.—M.M.M. 0

LEATHER BAG IS WINNER OF ALL FASHION HONORS

New York,—It’s the handbag with handle that walks off with all the honors this season. They are of medium size and most compact. Schiaparelli in- troduced the knapsack handbatv to be worn slung

■over one’s shoulder. Leather bags are- smarter than fabric ones just

now. This is so’because handbags and shoes have an alliance, but later on there will be more and more fabric purses—you’ll see. Most bags are la- belled plainly with one’s initials. Many are equip- ped to carry not bnly the usual assortment of vani- ty musts but the inevitable collection of odds and ■ends and smoking equipment as well.

Grosgrain, a pre-war elegance, is again being worn, and with a suit of this material, what is better than a matching purse or one in petit point?

Just a word about shoes. They really deserve much more than a word. Remember in shopping for them that they are “styled” for every occasion. Just perish the thought that a couple of pairs of shoes will get you anj^vhere this season. Each cos- tume calls for its own partcular type and color. Mbst of them ar^, euj hÿ;h over the instep and mân,y go in for square toes and heels.

Naturally 'h-itlh shorter evening dresses on the way back,, there is more, and more interest in fan- ciful evening footwear. Whether Schiaparelli’s bal- lerina silhouette will be worn by other, than debs and their kind is still a question, but even if it isn’t decorative it makes for great interest in decora- tive footwear.

'■ The ballerina silhouette, being circular, is quite different from the dirndl which achieves full- ness by another method.

For daytime hours, a suit, a redingote consist- ing of a wool coat and i>rint frock, an extra dress that can be worn under the coat, a,nd two sets of accessories comprise an almost complete wardrobe that’s ultra-smart. Any woman who gets such a wardrobe now will not have clothes problems until midsummer, when a cotton dress or a. washable silk or two are in order. o

OUR BOTTLES AND OUR CANS

(By Molly Martin) The battle between the tin can and the glass

container has been raging for years. Almost every one has more or less taken sides so why should I remain in t,hc cold while the tin cans ra,ttle and the glass chimes merrily?

Personally I like the gjass container. Some- how I prefer to purchase my foods in containers that allow me to view the food inside. I know what I’m getting and what its condition is.

For my home preserving, I always buy glass jars because I .have complete faith in the ability of glass to protect all the delicate flavor and quality of my homemade dainties. After I have taken such pains to make my preserves come up to the quality on which I pride myself—using only the best ma- terials and the' most careful l.v developed recipes— I’m not going to take a chance' on everything being spoiled by putting t.hem up in containers made of in- ferior materials.

It’s only natural, then, that when I buy manu- factured food products I buy them in containers which personal experience has taught me are the best. I like to know what I’m buying—espeeiallv when it comes to food ; so I favor the glass contain- er and cast my vote for it.

Home is not home, it seems to me, without a well-stocked pantry, and I keep my cupboard shel- ves groaning under a variety of branded foods in bright glass jar and bottles, ra,nged side-by-side with such home-made dainties as these :

Dried Apricot Jam Pour cups (2 lbs.) prepared fruit, 7 cups (3

lbs) sugar, 1 bottle fruit pectin. To prepare fruit, add 3 1-2 cups water to 1-2

pound apricots. Cover, let stand 4 hours or over- night. Then simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Drain, grind or chop fine, and mix with juice.

Measure sugar into large kettle, add prepared fruit, filling up last cup with water if necessary. Mix well, bring- to full rolling boil over hottest fire Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil haj-d 1 minute , Then remove kettle from fire and stir in fruit pectin. Skim; pour, quickly. Paraffin and cover. Makes about 11 glasses (6 fluid ounces each).

Carrot and Orange Marmalade Six carrots, 3 oranges, 1 lemon, sugar. Dice the carrots and cook them until they are

tender, in as little' water as possible. Cut the or- anges in small pieces and add the juice and grated rind of the lemon. Measure the carrot and fruit, and add two-thirds as much sugar. Simmer the mixture until it is clear. Turn it into jelly glasses, and when it is cold, cover it with hot paraffin. 0 TESTED RECIPES

Rhubarb in the Menu Canadian forced rhubarb is now available on

the market and may be used in various ways in the household. Apart from rhubarb stewed or baked, rhubarb gives the distinctive touch to tapioca pud- dings, tarts, sherbets, gelatine, and shortcakes. The juice makes a delicious cooling drink. Also the juice combined with sugar and the stiffly beaten white of an egg makes an enticing creamy sauce, and some people declare that one of the finest combina- tions evertasted is rhubarb and strawberries cook- ed together. Rhubarb Sauce.

The easiest way to prepare rhubarb is in sauce. One method consists of first making a thick syrup of sugar, cutting the rhubarb into pieces about half- an-inch long, dropping the pieces into the syrup, and cooking until tender. This takes only a few minutes. Another method is mixing two parts of the fruit to one part of sugar and cooking them until the liquid oozes out. and forms a s.vrup. Baked Rhubarb.

Baked rhubarb may be made when the oven is cooking some ofher food. Butter a covered bak- ing dish, spread a layer of rhubarb over the bottom, sprinkle a layer of sugar, then add another layer of rhubarb, and so on until the dish is filled. Sprinkle sugar over the top, then add small pieces of butter and the grated rind of a lemon. Cover the dish and bake slowl,v until the fruit is tender. liong, slow baking gives rh'ubarb a rich red colour., Apple and Rhubarb Jelly.

Cut Canadian-grovm apples into quarters. To every pound of apples add one cup of i-hubarb juice. Simmer until the apples are soft. Strain through a jelly bag without pressure. To each pint of juice add one pound of sugar. Boil slowly, re- moving all scum until the juice will jell. Pour into tumblers and seal with paraffin. o

Poodle an International Dog; Ancestors English

The l^oodle is the dandy ot tiie dog world, but although many people rec- ognize his decorative qualities, few realize that he can hunt or retrieve t(» the gun as skilfully as many of the "sporting” breeds. His intelligence is of so high an order and his memory and reasoning so remarkable that he is capable of acquiring Instruction to al- most any degree. In spire of his ele gam appearance, writes Maj. Mitford Brice in Answers Magazine, the Botulle is a stiird.v, strong outdoor dog with well-developed sporting instincts.

Although he probably traces his origin to the Old Knglish Water-Dog. llie Poodle owes his development to continental breedens, particularly those of Prance and Germany; thou.gh the e.K[)ression French Poodle or Bussian Poodle refers to nothing more tliao temporary residence.

He Is an iriiernatianal dog, starting life svith Kngiish ancestors and acquir- ing slight clmnges of type In the dif- ferent countries that, from time to rime, have adopted him.

His light and free actions are cimr- a<“teristic. as is his upstanding hear- ing. A dandy he may be; droll-looking be can be; but a sportsinau he is.

“Potter’» Field** According to St. Matthew 27. the

story of the origin of the term “potter’s tiekf* Is as foirPws: ^AT‘‘thé time tof the betrayal of Christ by .ludas Iscari- ot. after his repentance he went to the chief priests and elders and Implored tliem to take back the thirty pieces of silver which he had accepted from them a.s payment for his betrayal of his Master. This they refused to do. and in despair, .ludas cast the money d(*wn in the temple, and went away and hanged himself. The chief priests took tlie money, and since it was md lawful to put it In tlie treasury, because it represented the price of blood, they liougbt a patter’s field to use as a bury- ing ground f(>r strangers in .lerusulem. The burial grounds for paupers of to- day bear the same name.

Must Lay Many Eggs Marine animals must lay eggs by the

thousand, even millions. If Its species is not to be exterminated. A cod lays about 5.000,000 eggs, a sturgeon about 7.O(K),000 and a turbot usually more than 14.000,0(»0 but out of tiiis great production only a small proportion of the hatched young ever reach matur- ity. A lobster carries her eggs about glued to the body in clusters and these clusters may contain anywhere from 8.0(K) to 75.0(H) eggs of which it is es- timated that one out, of 5,000 will ma- ture. A single female oyster may spawn as many as 60,(M)0,000 in one .seas<»n but if her luck holds good she raises one oyster to maturity out of each 10.000,000 eggs.—Pathfinder Mag- azine.

Habits* of Chipmunks

The bureau of biological survey says that In chipmunks, as in most other small rodents, the male becomes trou- blesome and belligerent In the breed- ing season and while the young are being nursed. The female, therefore, is obliged to seclude herself and the young, drive away Che male, and take full charge of the offspring until they are weaned. At this time they are able to care for themselves, and both male and female may then be seen in company with half-grown young.

The Biack Carpet Beetle The black carpet beetle Is small,

oval, black, as its name indicates, and about three-sixteenths of an inch in length. This insect thrives best in se- cluded environments where they are seldom disturbed, and are commonly founds in floor cracks, under carpets, behind baseboards, in neglected trunks, cupboards, etc.

Rivers Are Property of States in Which Located

Rivers are the pmiierty of the states (31 which they are located. Tlie limit- ed Jurisdiction of tlie federal govern- ment over tiavigahle streams is mere- ly incidental to its constitutional pow- er to regulate and improve navigation for Interstate and foreign commerce. ' states a writer in die Indianapoii.s News. When a river forms tile boun- dary between two states tlie title of each state is presumed to extend to tlie middle of the mnln chaniiei. [iro- vided there is no legal arrangement to the eontrar.v. Sometimes two states agree. Cor police purposes, to exercise concurrent jurisdiction over a river which forms the huundary between them.

Tlie Ohio. Chattahoochee and I’n- tomac rivers are notable exceptions of tile general rule. Kentucky and West Virginia have absolute Jurisdiction over tlie entire Ohio river along their sliores as far as the low-water mark on tlie Oiiio, Indiana and Illinois banks. If a person commits a crime on that river near the Illinois, Indiana or Ohio shore he is amenable to the laws of Ken- tucky or West Virginia, and the game and Ashing laws of the latter states are enforced to the northern bank of the stream. Thus it Is possible for a person to violate a Kentucky law by fishing on the Ohio side of the river. This boundary line has been judicially recognized many times by the Supreme court of the Dnited States and the Su- preme courts of the states involved.

The Northwest territory, from which Illinois, Indiana and Ohio were carved, was ceded to the federal government In 1784 by the Commonwealth of Vir- ginia. The resolution of cession re- tained title and jurisdiction over the Ohio river to the low-water mark on the northern bank, and these rights were transmitted to Kentuek.v and West Virginia when they were later formed from Virginian territory.

Harmony in Music Found in 1300, Authority Says

The most noted Greek musicians were Pythagoras, I.asos, Olympos and Tyrtaeus. who flourished about .500 B. C. The Romans were no better oil, musically, according to a writer in the Montreal Herald. They were a martial race and left no records of any musical culture. About A. D. 330, Pope Sylves- ter founded a singing school at Rome, and two or three centuries later. I’ope Gregory the Great reorganized church music. Introducing fonr new scales, which he called “plagai modes.” (I’la- gal: having its final, or keynote, in tlie middle of its compass). Still there was no harmony, and there was none until about A. D. 1300, when .4dam Hale and Marchettus established the correct principles of concord and dis-

■ cord. Once these principles were known, a rapid advance in music-was made, all over Europe.

In 1658 Henry Purcell, an English- man, astounded the world with his musical compositions. He was organ- ist of Westminster abbey. When he was nineteen, he composed his first opera, which was followed by seven other operas, and twelve sonatas tor the violin, some of which are still heard, as well as his melodious songs.

Classics in Art We often speak of the classics In art,

poetry, literature and music, as If they all belouged to the same period of time. This, however, is not the case, asserts Henry Graves. Mus. B.. L. R. A. M„ In the Montreal Herald. The class- ics of Greece and Rome are a thou- sand years older than the classics of music. The earliest music (of a kind) was In all probability Egyptian, and we cannot form a correct Idea of what It was. like. VVe can only get some no- tion of It from the only scales that were then known. Harmony, as we understand the term, was unknown. T’lieir conception of harmony was an accompaniment to voices of notes played an octave higher or lower, or a fifth or fourth below or above.

ingratitude to the Horae Man’s Ingratitude to the horse, his

age-old servant and companion. Is recorded in a number of cases In which’ whalers, explorers and other expedi- tionary parties have deserted their animals on barren islands. In 1924 a wlialing ship, stopping at a small, uninhabited island off New Zealand, found a friendly, old horse: that had spent ten lonely years there by him- self. having been left behind by his “friends” when tliey sailed for home just before the war.—(krllier’s Weekly.

The sympathy of their numerous friends is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Forbes MacKinnon, of 32-4th Lochiel, in their recent sad bereavement, the death of their only son, aged 3 years, a bright and intelligent child for his age. On Sunday he was well and play- ing out with liis two elder sisters and at 9 p.m. Monday, notwithstanding all that medical skill could do with two doctors and two nm’- ses in attendance, he succumbed to the grim destroyer. To mourn his ear- ly demise he leaves his grief stricken parents, two sisters, Mary and Jean and his grandmother who wlU sorely miss him. The funeral took place at 2 o’clock, Wednesday to Kirk Hill.

Mr. John A. McKinnon of this section received the sad Intelligence last week of the death of his cousin, Mr. Daniel McKinnon, aged 79 years, which took place at Marengo, Wis., on the morning of the 5th inst. The fun- eral service was held on the 7th inst from the Wartman Funeral Home, with the Rev. C. L. Koons, Presbyter- ian pastor, officiating. Deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Dun- can McKinnon of the 5th Kenyon, and ■was weU and favorably known. Mr McKinnon left Glengarry fifty seven years ago for Ashland, Wis., where he followed the lumbering business. In 1883, he married Miss Charlotte Lang, who died four years ago. Two son;; also predeceased him.

‘‘Counter-Shading” Noted in Bird, Animal Kingdom

It may have puzzled you. if you hav« ever thought about it. tliat so many animals are colored darker above than below, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The tiger and the leopard are shaded so that their backs are darker than ibeir liellies. Most birds, too, are darker above than below.

One suspects that Nature has her reasons, as she always has. but it

s only recently that scientists dis- covered the principle of coloration she used—a principle which is called ‘‘coun- ter-shading.”

In the fields and forests, light comes from above, and If you were drawing an object and wanted to make it look round and stand out from its back- ground you would naturally shade the color from bright above to dark be- low, where the shadows are.

It is their “counter-shading” which makes so many birds difficult to see. Nor is it an accident that the leopard has spots and the tiger has stripes, though both hunt in daylight and take little or no trouble to bide.

Rut tiie leopard crouches In the tree tops where his spots look like the splotchy dark leave.s against the bright- er sky—and handsome and brilliant as he is, it takes a sliarp eye to see lum lip in tV.e branches. Ills camnu- dage is perfect.

The tiger, on the other linnd. hunts on the ground—in iuisliy rbickeis and high grassp.s—and his stripes look liardly different from rhe.se. .A sudden l’iistling of the brush aud the tiger «'merges, ready to pounce—where there seemed only the Quiet sunshine and shadow’- of reeds and grasses before. Vo wonder this tawny cat who has Hie talent of making liimself invis- ible strikes terror into man and beast.

Talking Birds, Animals, Are Few and Far Apart

Birds nave widely denmiLStrnted pow- of conversnfion. Airumg other ani-

IIIHIS cases of tnikiri^' are extremely fare. There are three recorded cases of (loL"s talking, but in these cases an elastic definition of “talking” Is re- ’{Hired, observes a writer in the New York Herald Tribune.

Dr. W. Keid Blair, director of the \>w York Zoolojrical park, points out Miat the conversational abilities of ■loy:s Is much more apfiarent to their owners than to strangers. Dogs have a larynx and vocal cords and while they have possibilities for development this, development has taken place to only a limited extent.

1'he best conversationalist in the animal kingdom Is the Indian Myna, a small bird resembling the black bird or starling, states Doctor Blair. It surpasses the parrot or the crow. Talking by birds is an ac<|uired art «lue to their contact with human so- ciety. and is a development of their {tower to mimic soiinds. There is no evidence, states I>octor Blair, that birds which have acquired the art of talking In the human sense use this ability to talk when they are com- munieating among their own kind.

Wiien animals are communicating with their own kind it Is possible that they are using some method which was available to man in an earlier stage «>f development, but which he has lost .sint’e he developed the power of speech, Doctor Blair believes. As to tiie nature of the method used there is not much Information available.

Sulphur Once Condensed From Fumes of Volcanoes

Men have been familiar with sulphur .«since before the beginning of written history, notes Thomas M. Beck. In the Dhhajgo Tribune. Ancient scientists were peculiarly fascinated by lb The fa«*t that it usually was found near vol (‘Unoes. and that it was about the only known mineral substance that was in rlamniable. led them to regard It as a sort of s«did form «»f tire, possessed wiih a cosmic itn{jortance almost equal to that of the gods. This feeling that there Is something sniiernatural about sulphur has continued to the present day

The ancients were-correct when they attributed magical properties to the sul>stance. It has been said without exaggeration that sulphur plays some part, either directly or Indirectly, in the preparation of 90 per cent of all the things we use.

Where do we get our sulphur? Un- til about thirty years ago almost all of it came from the neighhorh«>od of vol- canoes. where, during past ages it had been condensed from fumes Issuing fr«un the earth's Interior. There was not much demand for the stuff In an- cient times except as a curiosity The first industrial demand for it came about the year 15(H). when gunpowder, of which sulphur is an ingredient, be- gan to come into general use.

Twenty-One Gun Salute .^s far as our country is concerned,

we simply copied the 1Î1 gun salute from the British; it has become the universal salute of (inwers of the first rank. The origin of it is not certain. The old salute of one war vessel to a neither was of seven guns. Possibly the old mystical significance of the number seven set it at this figure. Shore batteries, with better supplies of p«)wder. came to t)e allowed to fire three guns to a slop's one. After po- tassium nitrate came Into general use In the manufacture of powder (It does not deteriorate like the old sodium ni- trate) the number of guns for the na- val international salute was raised to equal the number of guns given by land forces—that is 21.

Charing Cross Gone Up to the time of Charles 11, Char-

ing Cross stood among the fields in London. The name is derived from the Saxon word charrynge, meaning a mrnlng. In 1291 Edward I erected at cellaring the last of 13 crosses which marked the route of the funeral pro «ression of his wife, Eleanor, from Crantham, Lincolnshire, to West- minster. The cross was taken down ib 1647. A modern memorial cross may be seen inside the Charing Cross station yard. It will be remembered that Eleanor journeyed with Edward I to the Holy Land and sucked the pol son from a wound dealt her husband by a Moor.

Discarded Gat Cant Popular The discarded gasoline can Is one

of Che most widely used objects throughout Asia and Africa. It Is em{)l(jyed chiefly for carrying or stor- ing water, milk, clothes and money. However, writes Katherine Gardner. Rapid City. S. D.. in Collier’s Weekly, there are whole towns made out of these flattened tins and some people turn them into musical instruments and bird cages, hi Tibet those with sacred animals .stamped on their sides are even used in the temples for the burning of incense.

The Spiritual The spiritual Is a unique form of

«•ellgions folksong evolved by the south- r*rn plantation negro. It Is rendered wiiliout Instrument of any sort, the ierverit hand-clapping, tapping and pat- dug of the feet., mid the rhythmic movement of the body known as ■slmutin’.” In this way is the true • plrUual distinguished from that us- mily given by trained singers, from vlihrh. it is held, most of the real qual- îjt-s are lacking.

When Men Wore Short Breeches Gentlemen of Queen Elizabeth’s time

wore doublets, breeches and long stock- ings. Sometimes, but not always, the breeches reached down to the knees. There was a custom of stnfllng the breeches with cotton-wool rags, flax and other substance in order to make them wide. The coats of men of fash- ion were of silk, velvet and taffeta. They were of re<l. blue, green and al- most every other color. Some coats hung to the knees, or even to the ground.

Quinine Well Known Drug Of the many drugs that have come

to be recognized as almost positive specifics in certain diseases quinine seems to be one of the best known. The name given i).v the aborigines to the tree on which grew this remarkable bark was “quina-quina.” IntheQuichua tongue—tlie language of the Incas— when the name of a plant was dupli- cated It indicated that it had some curative jiropertles.—Wa.shington Post.

Payne’s Burial Place John Howard Payne, author of

“Home, Sweet Home,” lies in Oak Hill cemetery, Washington, D. C. He died in 1852 w'hile consul at Tunis and was buried there. Thirty years later his body was brought back, interred, and a monument was erected to his mem- ory.

Page 6 The Glengarry News, Alexandria, Ont., April 23, 1937

Hon. Chas. A. Dunning, minister of finance, Saturday made the follow- ing statement regarding a new series of Canadian coin designs:

In January. 1936, immediately after the death of the late King George V, prelimidry steps were taken to obtain a series of designs for the reverses of the new issue of Canadian coins bear- ing the effig,y of King Edward VIII, and, to this end, a large number of drawings submitted by Canadian ar- tists, were examined by a committee appoint'd for the purpose. None of these fc 'ing considered quite satisfac- tory, further sets of drawings were ob- tained from three British artists em- inent r. this specialized branch of de- sign.

NUMBER OF IDEAS The .ernment had thus at their

dispr'r.; .i large number of ideas work- ed put by the best artists available both ; and in Great Britain, and they ; . :;.''y decided that the reverse design •' the dollar should remain as first is ■ d in 1935, that Emanuel Hahn, t .G.A., of Toronto, be commis- sioned to prepare models for the 25- cents and 10-cents pieces, and George Kruger Gray, the British artist, those for the 50-cents, 5-cents and 1-cent pieces. Meantime, an obverse design bearing the effigy of King Edward VIII modelled by T. H. Paget, and in- tended for general use on all Imper- ial coinage, was approved for use in Canada, and the work of the Royal Mint, London, in preparing the master dies and punches and proceeded so satisfactorily that there was every reason to hope that some at least of the new Canadian series would be ready for issue early in this year, when the King’s abdication necessita- ted the cancellation of the almost complete obverse dies.

It was then decided to carry on with the King Geqrge V obverses, dating the coins T936’until an obverse bearing the effigy of the new Sovereign, King George VI, could be prepared, and the design of this obverse, also modelled by Mr. Paget, has since been approv- ed ,and the master dies and punches are expected to reach Ottawa in time to enable the Royal Mint to have the new coins ready for delivery soon af-

■ ter the date fixed for the coronation Depends on Royal Mint.

The Ottawa Mint is not equipped for the production of master dies and punches from the artist’s model and depends for this on the Royal Mint,

URGES CONSTITUENTS TO KEEP IMMUNE FROM EITHER COM- MUNISM OR FASCISM—CHAM- BERLAIN LIKELY TO SUCCEED

Prime Minister Baldwin, Sturdy cornerstone of British Conservatism, warned his people earnestly away from Communism or Fascism recently in a speech in which he announced his Iniminent retirement, but set no date for it. He has been Prime Minister

,three times.

Addressing his constituents, he warned agatast ‘mass consciousness” and “the virus of either. Communism or Fascism.” Then the 69-year-old leader declareq of himself:

“It is far better to go when the peo- ple may still think of you , as perhaps not incompetent than to stay until

..perhaps they know before you do that you are becoming incompetent.”

Conservatives of the Bewdley divi- sion, whom he addrsesed, appointed a comihittee to select a candidate fol his House of Commons seat and adopted a resolution expressing ap- preciation of his services.

> Political observers generally agreed . .Neville Chamberlain, a year and a half younger than Baldwin, would be his successor in the Prime Minister- ship.

Baldwin’s withdrawal has long been taken for granted, and some ob- servers have predicted he will go to the House of Lords. It is gènëralls believed he will resign soon after the Imperial Conference which has been called immediately following King George’s Coronation May 12.

The , Prime ■ Minister minced no words in warning against Britain's adoption of

“Ideas aiieh to the ideas which we hold in this country.

“’They are the ideas of Communism and differing forms of Fascism,” he said'; “idëas that can do nothing to help OUI*‘country in solving our own constitutional problems. ■ “«ir don’t thtok this country is in danger of having a mass consoious- n«Sg.vfeut doii’t' Iet us, in our happy-

Events at the close of 1938 made it necessary to compress into a few months what would ordinarily be a year’s work in the preparation of dies for the various coinages of the Empire, and so great was the pressure that it was found necessary to enlist the co-oper- atlon of the Paris Mint, and the Dom- inion government gratefully acknow- ledges the invaluable assistance of an institution so famous for its artistic diework in making possible the coin- age of the new series so near to the date of the coronation. It is hoped that coins, the result of team work of Canadian and British artists, and of the Canadian. British and French Mints, will meet with the approval of the people of Canada.

As indicated above, the design for the obverse Impression on coins of all denominations will be the effigy of His Majesty King George the Sixt.h with the inscription “Georgius VI D: G: Rex et Ind: Imp:.”

Chosen Designs. For the reverse impressions of the

various silver, nickel and bronze coins, the designs wlU be as follows:

One Dollar—A canoe manned by an Indian and a Voyageur, an islet in the background; above, the word “Can- ada” with the Northern Lights; below% the word ‘dollar” and the date of the year, with a graining upon the edge.

Fifty Cents—Between supporters the ensigns armorial of Canada in a shield surmounted by the Royal Crown. “50 cents” above and “Canada” below, with the date of the year and a graining upon the edge.

Twenty-five Cents—A caribou head, “25 cents” between the antlers, and surrounded by the word “Canada” and the date of the year, with a graining upon the edge.

Ten Cents—A fishing schooner un- der sail, “Canada” above and “10 cents” below, with the date of the year, and a graining upon the edge.

Five Cents—A beaver; above “5 cents” between two maple leaves, and below “Canada” and the date of the year, with a plain edge.

One Cent.—A two-leaved twig of maple, “1 cent” above, and “Canada" below, with the date of the year, and a plqin edge.

go-lucky way, think that such a thing cannot come to Great Britain—there is nothing more important than to keep ourselves immune from the virus of either Communism or Fascism.”

Citing the vast speed-up in trans- portation since he was first elected to the House of Commons as an example of the changing times, Baldwin said:

“Today you may drive with- safety on roads at 60 miles an hour. But if this country ever tries to travel in a

^constitutional change at 60 miles an hour the constitution will be wrecked,

‘ and it will be wrecked as it always has I been in these rapid changes—in dis- aster and in bloodshed.”

I Concerning his forthcoming resigna- tion, the Prime Minister said:

' “I am quite clear in my own mind that while I believe my judgment to be as good—if it has been good—as it has ever been. I am conscious that

I the vitality is to a certain extent sap- ped and that one needs more rest and one gets more th-ed.

‘But if that be the case in days like ithis, what right has one to go on with ■ the risk that one may get much more tired and really impair the work of the Govermnent of which one is the head?”

j “When I retire,” Baldwin once said, “You will never hear of me again. I

jwant to go back to Worcester, read bCoïS, live a decent life and keep pigs.”

The Ottawa Bgotliglii BY WILFRID EGGLESTON

OTTAWA, April 20.—There was

something almost uncanny about the

way the session finished exactly on

the day the government had planned. Even before he went to Washington. Mr. Mackenzie King had intimated to the Opposition leader that he would like a couple of weeks free before the boats sailed for the Coronation. He got it. As a general rule it is said that Prime Ministers decide when sessions open, and Opposition leaders say when they will end. The thanks goes large- ly, therefore, to Mr. Bennett, who dis- played all session through a remark- able spirit of co-operation. The cynics said that he did not wish to expose the weakness of his pai'ty in voting and de- bating strength. There was, however, something more than that. Mr. Ben- nett developed a mellowness and a high statesmanship which is usually more in evidence when a leader is about to retire, than earlier in the game when he is bending every ef- fort to out-manoeuvre the enemy.

The general impression is that Mr. Bennett indeed, regarded this session as his last; and that, following the coronation, he will summon party leaders together and signify his desire to retire. Nothing final or definite has been said on the point. Those who might be called upon to assume his mantle are preparing to put their best toot forward when the time comes. There are half a dozen men in the running, it would seem. Usually the indications point rather .strongly to one man. Dr. R., J. Manion would be the obvious choice if the Orange Lodge was not such an important factor in the Ontario strength of the party. The same reason, and some others, point against Hon. Maurice Duplessis.

NO OUTSTANDING NEWCOMER No outstanding Conservative back-

bencher has developed in the present parliament. Allan Walsh of Montreal, Howai’d Green of Vancouver, E. E. Perley of Qu’Appelle, and Denton Mas- sey of Toronto are the more impres- sive of the ‘troops’. Hon. Earl Law- son is the most serious contender iB the front benches. Hon. Earl Rowe cannot be counted out as a possibility, nor can Hon. Gordon Harrington. Erick Willis has been mentioned, but oi\e fancies he will have to win his spurs in Manitoba first.

A house-leader, of course, can be chosen without difficulty; and some time might elapse before the party call- d a national convention for the selection

of a new chief. Sir George Perley has always taken Mr. Bennett’s place in the House. Hon. C. H, Cahan could fill the post with great dignity and com- petence.

It is too much to expect that the Cabinet will be able to deal with many domestic affairs before the delegation sails. The Imperial Conference which follows the Coronation will inevitably

I deal with matters of profound con- |Cern. Empire defences will certainly be up for long and anxious discussion.

I Canada has been assured that before any final commitments are made, par-

lliament must approve. But the broad I lines of policy will be mapped out. My own guess,,as intimated before, is that

jwe must be prepared, if world condi- |tiohs continue ominous, for a proposal next session to spend still larger sums

j cn naval and coast defences.

I NEW FARM EXPORT PLANS j Now that the ministers are relieved from the onerous duties of the session,

jthey will be getting on with some re- i tarded matters in their own depart- iments. The Minister of Agriculture is working out a new organization, in which great stress is to be placed on the export and domestic marketing of fai-m produce. He has a substantial

I vote of money with which to enlarge I this or that branch, open up new of- fices, engage experts to be stationed here or elsewhere.

The Youth Employment Committee of the National Employment Commls-

iSion is working out plans for the ex- ,penditure of a million dollars on the training and employment of youth men and women, between 16 and 25

A poll of competent opinion would almost certainly show that the biggest single problem confronting Canada at the moment (aside from unemploy- ment, which is deeply Involved in it) is the need of a re-writing of the con- stitution in terms of 1937 conditions. Unfortunately it is necesasry to wait for the report of a royal commission, and that will not even be named, it Is now said, until midsummer.

Few Banks in Colonial — Times; One Known in 1680

A few banks were in operation in ('olonial times, but no conunerciai banks as we know flieni of this da.v. asserts an authorit.v in the Clevclam; Plain Dealer. One of llie earliest is said to have been esialilislied in Sontn Carolina in 1680 for the convenience or a group of planters. Not much is known of this bank and it did not long ■ survive, hut Wiiliain Paterson, wlio aftenvard promoted tlte Bank of England, is said to have investigated It. In 1680 a pnmher of citizens of Boston united to estalilish a bank of issue, in disregard of the British laws.

But largely because there was not a staltle inonetar.v sytstem there was little banking done in this country [trior to the adoption of tlie Constitu- tion in 1787. On July 17, 1780, an in- stitution called tile Pennsylvania Itank opened in Philadelphia, supported Ity aliout a hundred sntiscribers and in- tended chiefly to assist in procuring suiiplies for Washington’s troops. 'I'liis hank, formed at the instance of 'rhoin as Paine, continued only about a year and a half, after which the sitecial need for it had lapsed.

The first modern commercial bank in tills country w'as the Bank of Nortii America. In which Bobert Morris was a leading figure, and w-hich was organ- ized November 1, 1781. and opened Its doors on January 7, 1782. In 1864 it entered the national banking systetn In view of Its history and traditions, it alone among national banks was not reutiired to include the word “Nation- al” In its name.

Philadelphia First Had Naval Academy in 1831

In 18111 congress passed an act cre- atin.g a navat hospital fund. At the same time, says a writer in the Phlla- delpliia inquirer, Paul Hamilton, sec- relary of the navy, advocated tliat hos- pitals for seamen and file widows of seamen killed in aetioh be established. He believed tliat midshipmen shiiuld be sent to ttiese h(*spitals, which were hospitals in tiie ancient English sense of the word, for a period of instruction in navigation and general learning. This was tlie beginning, not only of tlie naval asylum, but the naval school, or academy. In 1826 a plot svas pur- chased at Gray's Ferry road at the cor- ner of Bainbridge street for this pur- pose. and the main structure was for- mally occupied in 1831 as the Dnited States naval asylum. Between 1838 and 1842 when Commodore James Bid- dle was commandant of the asylum tlie naval school was established there. In 1845 the naval school, now called acad erny, was removed to Annapolis, Md.

Singing Sands

Recently a patch ..of sand has been discovered In the tSiiled States which emits a melodious wliistllng noise wiien anyone walks on it. lë the en- tire country there are some seventy similar areas, but most of them make singing noises. America Is not the only country where the eartli has a voice. Travelers in the deserts of North Africa have been misled by. a hideous, mocking laugh. In Chile, mere are sands that rumble, and a mountain that moans and groans, which the natives say is haunted. Nevada has a mountain that emits a di.stinet bell-like note, and certain por- tions of the Hawaian beaches make tmrkiug sounds. Many plausible ex planations have been put forward liy scientists tor tliese plienoinena, but tliere is nothing that covers tlie riddle satisfactorily, especially as echoes are practically non-existent on sandy stretclies.—Tit-Bits Magazine.

Oldest Farm In U. S.

What is believed by census enumer- ators to be the oldest in the United States is a seven-acre farm near Ysleta. Texas, which has lieen operated con- tinuously since 154(1. The farm was established in that year by the Fran- ciscans, who came to the New world witli Coronado, and in 1550 the tract was granted to the cliiirch by the king of Spain. It Is still owned and oper- ated by the Franciscan Fathers.

Singing Fish

There are several varieties of fish which can produce sounds. One of the most interesting is the little Me.xican canary fish, w'hich can make so much noise that it can be tieard through the lialf-lnch thick glass of an aquarium tank at a distance of ten yards. In their native Mexican streams these fish migrate in large schools, and the noise produced liy them all wailing in unison carries long distances.

The round towers found iu Ireland are tall, narrow and circular, tapering g:radually from the base to the sum- mit.

About 118 towers of this description are to be seen In Ire land, notably at Ardmore In Waterford, ('londalkln in Dublin, and Devenlsh In Fermanagh. Scotland possesses three similar towers.

In various parts of the world there are large groups of men. excluding ilmse in prisons and monasteries, who apparently are content to live without women, writes Joel T. Quisenberry.

“Advertising S Selling” A note of warning’ to businessmen who

would pull profits from prosperity is sounded by Roger W. Babson, economist and statistician.

“To my way of thinking/’ he says, “adver- tising and selling are going to play a tremen- dous part in the coming boom. ï our sales de- partment should be drilled into a ‘prosperity psychology.’ The minute the low point of a de- pression is reached, and the turn towards better times comes, I become bullish on advertising. This bullishness developes into a white heat as business reaches the normal line. It is in the normal zone that all the constructive forces of your organization should work and work harmony.”

Building Up a Good Town

An exchange offers the following advice on how to build up a town: Talk about it. Write about it. Speak well of it. Help to improve it. Beautify the streets. Patronize its merchauts. Advertise in its newspaper. Elect good men to all offices. Speak well of its enterprising public-spirited citizens. If yon don’t think of any good word to say, don’t say anything bad about it. Eemember, every dollar you invest in a permanent improvement is that much

on interest. Be courteous to strangers that come amongst us, so that they go away with

good impressions. Alvvays cheer up the men who go in for improvements. Your portion of the

cost will only be what is just. Don’t kick about any necessary public improvement because it is at your own

door or for fear that your taxes may be raised fifteen cents. Above all never spend a dollar out of town that you can use for the same pur-

pose in town. Buy your goods, employ labor, pay your taxes at home.

Mr. Babson further urges that businessmen consider these important factors : Credits should be kept in order at all times. As pros- perity proceeds there will be increasing short- ages of skilled workers and executives ; so in- vestment in your personnel now ' should pay handsome dividends. Doing business in the prosperous days ahead ^ithopt sound account- ing and finance methods would be like fighting a fire with gasoline. If you must borrow, at least be free from debt one day of each year. Practical research in your business may mean the difference between profits and just break- ing even.

“Strange as this may sound, less than 10% of the businessmen of the United States actually pulled profits from the great 1929 boom ! Re- member this ; warns Mr. Babson, “whereas de- pression hits everybody, prosperity is always selective. Profit tickets are not passed out to all that enter thp/^ig Tent of good times. In a period of business expansion you must work just as hard to assure profits as in a' period of depression you must work hard to avert losses.

^‘Only four times during my 35 years of studying business conditions has the Babson-chart, on which 1 have spent over a million dollars in research, crossed the ^normal line^ on its way upward. The first of these was in 1902-12, the second in 1915, and the third was 14 years ago, in 1922. |The fourth has just occurred.

‘At the start of this impending boom,” he says in conclusion, “you ail have a new set of books to open. This is the time when, everybody starts from scratch but some—only scratch. The way to eliminate com- petition is not to meet it but to keep ahead of it.”

Synopsis of Preceding Instalments: Heather Aston, now 34, has reared

three brothers and three sisters, th youngest of whom, Bobbie, cost their mother her life. Heather started her sacrifices when Bobbie was a year old, telling Bruce Logan, who was leaving England for South Africa, she could not marry him and desert her “Child- ren” and Caesar, as they affectionate- ly call their pompous but inefficient father Baul, married to a wealthy woman, doesn’t see his family. Betty recently married the well-to-do Ste- phen Miller. Vilette, with a theatrical company in South Africa (Ponsonby Is her stage name), writes that she’s coming home and has met THE MAN who is coiAmg on the same ship. ■When Heather meets him she meets Bruce Logan. For a time she avoids intimate talk but getting her alone he Àisks why she has changed. Although Emitting to herself she loves Bruce, fee asks if he doesn’t know 'Vilette loves him. Bruce asks her to marry and return with him to South Africa; fee says the family can’t spare her.

But her own confident assertion scared her, as once again she visualized a future in which there might be no Heather any more.

Bruce looked at her. “Perhaps she doesn’t want him now,” he said, and then he took his arm away from her and stood up, walking over to the window.

Effie dried her eyes and stuffed her damp handkerchief into a pocket. “Are you angry with me?” she asked timidly.

“Angry?” Bruce laughed and came back, touching her shoulder in a gen tie caress. “You’re a dear Uttle girl,’ he said. “And I should like to help you—perhaps I can.” Effie flushed eagerly,, “If. you’d, cmly tell Vilette not to be such a PIG!;’ she said ingenuously. “Vilette would listen to you but she won’t to any one else. I don’t know why it is, but we ah seem to be afraid of her,” she add- ed quaintly.

Bruce frowned but he made no re- ply, and Effie went on, “I thought when people fell in love witli other people it meant for always! It does in books and things, but I suppose it’s just make-believe. Do you think it is? she appealed,

“Not always.” Effie sighed deeply; she was feeling

very perplexed and imhappy, as if she were standing on the threshold of a strange room which was filled with all kinds of unfamiliar things and as if someone had told her to sort them out and to give each one a name. If this was a process called “growing up’ she was not at all sure that she wel- comed it.

She started at the sound of Hea- ther’s voice in the hall. “That’s Hea- ther,” she whispered, “I don’t want

a nursing home, where he will be pro- perly looked after. Don’t cry, Effie,” he added, with the first note of impa-

No longer hers.! She let the roses fall and struggled free of him, and: Bruce said hoarsely, “And now will you tell me again that 1 must marry Vilette?”

Heather covered her face with shak- ing hands; she was terrified—afraid of herself, of him, of the depths of her own emotion.

She thought of the family, and at once they seemed to come crowding around her with clamoring lips and hands. . . .“Don’t go, Heather—don’t leave us—what shall we do -without you? Don’t go. Heather.”

John, Vilette, Bobbie, Effie, Caesar —even old Priddy seemed to join them and to beseech of her, just as years ago their childish, anxious eyes had pleaded when she told them that their mother had gone away and per- haps would never come back again— “But YOU won’t go, will you, Hetty?”

Funny, she had almost forgotten that the children’s name for her in those jdays had been Hetty—funtiler still that they too seemed to have for- gotten. ,

And then she felt Bruce’s hands on her wrists—heard his voice, shaken and infinitely tender: “Oh, my dear! It isn’t too late, Heather.” And then he broke off sharply, releasing her as a sudden frightened scream from the garden broke the silence. “Heather! , ■ ■ Heather! Come

all gone,” she said, “I can’t stand any more, I can’t. . . . Please leave me alone. . . . oh, PLEASE!” And she bowed her head to her folded arms and sobbed.

Bruce stood up, his lace suddenly white. The silence of the summer evening was unbroken save for hel- piteous sobbing. Perhaps Bruce real- ized then as never before what Hea- ther’s life must have been. The eternal struggle with an uni-uly family —the lack of money — the constant self- sacrificing—the effort to keep her courage in the face of one difficulty after another. And then in retrospec- tion he seemed to see her as she hao been years ago—seventeen years— when they said good-bye. Younger than Vilette was now—just a girl eager for happiness who had loved him dearly, and he blamed himself a thousand times for the silence he had allowed to fall between them. Seventeen years! His life at least had known change and interest and suc- cess, but hers! ....

He looked down at Heather’s bent head and a wave of passionate re- morse and pity swept through his heart. -Why had he allowed it to be? He longed to take her in his arms, to comfort her, and yet something in her helplessness and utter breakdown pre- vented him and warned him that this was not the moment; but as he heard the sounds of an an-iyal in the hall he bent hurriedly and touched her hair with his lips.

Heather looked up sharply, her eyes a mute appeal as Vilette’s gay voice broke the silence. “Where’s every one? Are you all dead?”

Bruce went out to meet her, clos- ing the door behind him. Vilette looked very gay and pretty, and Paddy Jep- sure I can manage,” she said again,

for it seemed the last straw that sheteon was standing behind her. Them might be forced to accept help from this man of aU people. She knew so

why every one need behave as if he IS dead,” and with a toss of her head she departed upstairs.

Why had Bruce come down without letting her know? And how far was Heather responsible for the visit? She threw her hat aside and looked at her flushed face in the mirror. Perhaps Bruce had thought her callous! She wished she had shown more concern about Caesar. No doubt Heather had been careful to do the correct thing and had worked upon his sympathy by tears.

If only something would happen so that she could get away! “I won’t stay,” she told herself. “I’ll get away somehow. I’ll go abroad again,” and yet In her heart she knew that as iong as Bruce was in England she could never leave it.

NOSE BLEEDS Stop those repeated nose bleeds be-

fore you lose your job. Business today depends a great deal if you are to keep your head above the tide and you cannot do this when your health is being undermined by frequent hae- morrhages from the nose. Often the cause and remedy are so simple too. A small blood vessel towards the front of the nose bursts its wall and bleeds for awhile. Soon it stops, but be- fore it is completely healed it breaks through at the same place again, and this may occur a number of times. Your doctor can cure these nose bleeds by sealing off the offending blood ves- sel with some form of cauterization. It takes but a short time and is usu- ally painless.’

■When you are faced -with the alarming picture of blood pouring from the nose what are you to do? Well, first of all do not plug the nose with anything, as this merely causes further injury to the broken wall of the bleeding vessel. Tight pressure with the finger on . the outside of the nostril which is bleed- ing wUl usually control the haemorr- hage in about five minutes.

All nose bleeds of course are not due to bleeding vessels at the front of the nose. Common causes in children are adenoids and foreign bodies, such as beads and buttons. These usually cannot be discovered except by your doctor, who also can remove the cause and so stop the bleeding.

Some adults suffer from high blood pressure which indirectly may be the source of the repeated nose bleeds. Here the blood from the nose is a v/arning that other trouble is present and the sign should not be neglected. In older people growths in the nose cause Irregular bleeding and the sooner the tumour is discovered and treatment begun, the greater the chance of cure.

So it is very impoi-tant that all per- sons suffering from repeated nose

NOW “RIGHT AS RAIN ” AFTER TAKING KRUSCHEN

Read this letter from an athlete, telling how he obtained relief from rheumatic pains:—

“My knees were so stiff with a kind of rheumatoid trouble that I could only rise from a chair with pain and difficulty. This had been growing worse and worse for about two years. It was all the more galUng because ia my young days I had played for two counties at football and held my col- lege record for the 100 and 220 yards. Naturally I tried all sorts of embrocation, but with absolutely no perceptible effect. Then I decided to try Kruschan Salts, and to cut a long story short, I am now as right as rain.”—W.S.T.

The pains and stiffness of rheuma- tism are frequently due to deposits of uric acid in the muscles and joints. Kruschen helps to stimulate the ex- cretory organs to healthy, regular ac- tivity, and so enables them to elimin- ate this excess acid from the system.

Mathews twisted his hat and looked at the floor.

How To Avert War Can we, as individuals, do anything

to avert war? Admiral Richard E. Byrd believes

that we can, and in a recent article enumerates several steps that can be taken by all individuals desiring to maintain peaceful relations between: nations.

‘The first step,” urges the famous arctic explorer, who on his last trip to the South Pole resolved to devote most of the remainder of his life to efforts for peace, ‘is to Inform oursel- ves and our children as to what is in- volved in the choices to be made.

“Take just one of the questions of peace: disarmament. How much does the average man in the street know about it? The point is that dis- armament is not as simple as it sounds. We need to inform ourselves about it, as we need to inform ourselves about all the problems of peace. To promote peace, we must know what peace means,

“A second step, perhaps, is to study war and violence as institutions, and to reach conclusions about them. Is violence effective? Is war an efficient method of settling disputes? Disre- garding ethical considerations, blood- shed, ruined lives, biological consequ- ences ,and the like, does war do the immediate job of settling interna- tional disputes? ^

“We think in sober moments that

iwe must avoid war at all costs; yet when the hour comes, in our excite- ment the greater imperative seems to be to save our country against what ap parently threatens it. Perhaps we can fortify ourselves against this by calm

I logic before the war clouds arise. Per- haps we can convince ourselves, and then others, that war does not settle problems and difficulties.

“A third step, individuals can take, perhaps,” continues Admiral Byrd, “is to inform themselves as to what is really necessary for peace. Can na- tions live side by side in amity? We know, ,of course, that they can. The classic instance is Canada and the United States, two countries having the longest common frontier of any nations—without one mile of that frontier fortified—and not in a century and a quarter has there been war, or the serious threat of war. The coun- tries of the Scandinavian peninsula, also, have not knoum war for more than a century.

“The final thing ,of course, after having informed ourselves, is to take positive action toward the realization of our beliefs. Of the ‘way’, I am not so sure—nor am I sure that any one way is the only way. I would not want to close my mind to any proposal hon- estly and competently made with the purpose of furthering peace. "When

I peace comes, it will no doubt come through the meeting and agreement of many minds which among them- selves possess diverse views on most subjects — and even on methods of attaining this objective.”
