■A

'With the courts rapidly drying .U(i*and all indications pointing to an early resumption of_ play, members of the Alexasdria Ten- nis Club met last Thursday ai

,-ternoon, at the office of Percy Bergeron, to elect officers for the season and discuss and settle various questions relative to the opening. The President A. Van E,ery was in the chair and gaye an outline of last year’s activi- ties following which the secre- t.îy-treasurer, P. Bergeron gave a resume of the financial side of 1934 play which showed the club owing for two year’s rent of the grounds. It is expected that this debt will be greatly reduced or entirely wiped off this year.

Following the adoption of this leport, officers for the 1935 season were named as follows:—

Hon. Presidents—Mayor J. A Laurin, Col. A. G. P. Macdonald ; Hon. "Yice Presidents—Dr. H. L. Cheney, Dr. D. J. Dolan; Presi- dent, A Van Every; 1st Vice, Biuce Macdonald; 2nd Vice Lueille Lalonde; 3rd Vice Phyllis Cheney; Sec..-Treas., T*. C. Ber- geron.

Match and Ground Committee— E. A. Macdonald (chairman), R. Gareau, J. Jamieson, Misses C. Tourangeau and E. Cheney.

Entertainment Committee — îhises M. Rutherford (chairman), E. McRae, G. Goulet, Mrs. A. Van Every. Mrs. I. Hope and Mr. Jean I.abrosse.

The question of fees occasioned a great deal of discussion with many divergent opinions being offered and finally the rates were set at the following sums :

Senior Member $5.00; Junior Member $2.50 (only allowed on the courts before 5 o’clock week days) ; Family ticket $12.00 for 8 lamily membership'^not exceed- ing four. Any additional family member $2.50.

The matter of a ca.retaker was discussed together with needed repairs to the grounds and it was Qeeided that a committee consist- ing of the secretary and Messrs. E. A. Macdonald and R. Rouleau vvculd take care of these problems for the club. -

The date of Thursday, May 23id was fixed upon for an Ar-> moury dance and preparations are already under way for making it a big success.

Play will begin officially on Saturday, May 4th, which will mean a longer period of tennis for the season. Indications peint to a greatly increased mem- bciship and a very successful tennis year. 0

The liner “Berengaria” leaving New York on Friday of this week, will probably carry as a passenger Premier, R. B. Bennett who is travelling to England in Older to attend the Jubilee celebrations. The Prime Minister will arrive in the Old Country tw’o weeks before commencement of the celebrations and it is thought that he will use the time as a holiday in which to further recuperate from his recent illness.

Besideiice of Dr. 0. J. Dolan Damageil By Fire Saturday

y Caused by a defective chimney,

a stubborn fire, which ga.ve th? local brigade a stiff thirty m'n- ute fight, broke out in the attic of Dr. D. J. Dolan’s house, Ken- yon St., on Saturday afternoon last. Luckily the blaze was discovered before it had made much beqdway and the firefighters were soon on the scene. The chem- ical hose was brought into play but found inadequate and water had to be used in quenching the flames, with much subsequent damage to the lower storey of the house. The upper storey suffered considerable damage while the roof had to be punctured to permit fighting of the fire. Tnt: greater part of the loss is covered by insurance.

Many Mourn Oeatli of Siielilon Joseph McDonell

(Contributed) , From time to time we find the

ranks of our dear j'oung men thinned out by the inevitable hand of Death. We miss their kindly smiles and cheery voices as they take their stand at work or play. How loyal they are to the causes.

One of the number, a popular member of tiie younger generation, was Sheldon McDonell, whose sudden death ocurred on AVednesday, Ma,reh 27th, 1935 at Temagami, Ont. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. An- gus J. R. McDonell, of Greenfield, Ont., and was born. Sept. 5th, 1913. He attended the local school and when he decided to choose a career he heeded the ‘ ‘ Call of the North” and went to the mining area May 11th, 1934. He had been at Kirkland Lake for some time and was on his Way to join his brother, John W., at Geraldton, Ont., when the fatality occurred.

Deceased who was on passenger train No. 46 of the T. & N.O. Railway, alighted at Temagami for lunch but 'this stop for re ■ freshments was cut out when the schedule was accelerated recently. In attemptiiig to hoard the train again, as it was getting under way, in the darkness the uii fortunate young man mistook an opening between the coaches for an open door and was thrown violently to the platform, meeting instant death. The train was brought to a stop within a few yards, and two fellow-passenger.* of the deceased identified the body. His sister, a teacher in the North, and his brother were com- municated with and came to North Bay to take charge of the remains. The news was also sent to his parents and family at Greenfield, his sister and brothers in Detroit, all of whom, were present at the funeral.

After the first great shock, their grief w-as assuaged when 'they learned' the - deceased was fortified by the Holy Sacraments which he approached that very day, and which was a, noble example of preparedness. The remains were brought to Greenfield on Saturday morning and con- veyed to his parents’ residence frem whence the funeral took place on Monday, April 1st at 9 a.m. to St. Catherines Church and cemetery. The remains were met at the door by Rev. Ronald J. Macdonald, and Requiem High Mass was celebrated by Rev. D A. Campbell, cousins of the deceased. Clergy present in the Sane tu,ary were:—Revs. R.A. Macdon- ald, J. J. Macdonell, E. J. Mac- donald, C. F. Gauthier, R. J. Mac- donald and the pastor Rev. C. A. Bishop. His six brothers acted as pallbearers. Rev. Ronald J. Macdonald, officiated at the grave. He is survived by his par- entsf three sisters, Jennie of De- li oit, Marcella at home, Cecilia cl Nellie Lake, Ont., and six brothers, Dan G., Harold ,and How- ard of Detroit, -John W., Gerald- ton, Ont., Duncan A. and Glen don at home. ' The many friends who visited the home and attended the funeral, the numerous spiritual offerings and letters of sympathy received, bore testimony of the

Palm Sunday Observance Palm Sunday, ushering in Holy

AA'eek, the last w'eek of Lent, was celebrated with its usual colorful ceremony in St. Finnan’s Cathe dral, here, on Sunday, when His Excellency Bishop Couturier officiated at the 10 o’clock Mass. Following the age old tradition which commemorates Christ’s triumphant entrance into Jeru- salem, palms were blessed and taken away by the parishioners to be treasured as a protection in the home.

Assisting His Excellency, who briefly explained the ceremony to the congregation, were the pastor, Rev. E. J. Macdonald, as

Faster Fhouglits For Christian Souls

(Contributed) AVhat thoughts of the future

enter into our minds as we once more draw near to the glad Eas- ter Day. What of death and the icxed ones who are gorie before ? Are we living life of faith and hope confidently looking forward to glorious existence beyond the grave ; or are we practically pa- gans, shrinking, appalled at the fbought of death, and filled with doubts as to the reality of the future.

Thp complexion of our religion: thought depends upon the view wo take of death. This life is but the foreground of that which is to come ,and death is the narrow bridge upon which we pass from one state of existence to another; or, rather it is our initiation into the hidden mysteries of the fu- tuie. The initiatory ceremony is

ttended with some pain, it is tiUe, but, in ancient times when a king wished to raise a brave man to knighthood, he struck him lightly with a sword and then pronounced him noble. And so death is but the soft sword- touch by which the Eternal King elevates His faithful servants to the knight-errantry of heaven.

In the scale of being, death must ever be regarded as a pro motion. First dea,th, then life — life eternal. Why is it that we always welcome sleep so glady, yet with all our Christian faith, repel with terror hei twin sister? There is in the German; a beautiful fa- ble which .represents the Ange’ of Slumber wandering over the earth in company with the Angel of Death. As the evening draws near they approach a village and encamp upon one of its hills listen ing, as it would be said in England to the curfew as it “tolls the knell of parting day.” At last the sounds cease, profound silence reigns round abonti>'and the dark mantle of night covers the earth Now the Angel of Sleep rises from her bed of moss, and step- ping forward to the brink of the height scatters the unseen seeds of slumber. The evening wind wafts them out over the homes of weary men. Sweet sleep set- tles down upon the whole village and overcomes all from the old man who nods in his chair to the infant rest- ing in the ‘cradle. The sick forget their pain ; the afflicted their sorrow, the poor their needs. All eyes are efosed. After her task is done the Angel of Slumber turns to her sister and says; “When the morning sun appears all these people will praise me as their benefactor and friend. How de- lightful it is to go about doing good so silently and all unseen! What a beautiful calling we have!” Thus spoke the Angel of Sleep ; but the Angel of Death gazed upon her in silent sorrow and a tear such as the undying shed stood in here eye. “Alas!” said she, “I cannot rejoice like you in the gratitude of men. The earth calls me its enemy and the destroyer of its peace”. “O my sister!” replied the Angel of Slumber, ‘ ‘ at the great awakening of the Resurrection Morn the souls of the blessed will recognize you as their friend and benefactor. Are we not sisters and the messengers of a common Father?” They ceased to speak but the eyes of the Death Angel glistened with tears'as they both fled into the darkness of the night.

How our hearts smite us when we think of our base ingratitude towards the loving friend of man —the Angel of Death ! How shame fully we have all treated her !

Farmers Should Be Given Chance

The farmers of Canada and the United States have had enough bureaucracy, with all its intend ant evils and interference, F. E. M. Robinson, M.A., former president of the National Dairy Coun- cil of Canada, and chairman of, the advisory board of agriculture, McGill University, declared addressing the Canadian Club of Montreal in the Windsor Hotel recently.

Whiîe sounding a pessimistic note So far as success of government efforts to cure ills attending the agreiultural industry are concerned, Mr. Robinson felt th'.t in a few years the position of the industry would be vastly' improv- ed. “The farmers represent three- quarters of the population of the world, and they will continue producing a reasonable but not ex- cessive supply of’._foodstuffs, and this policy' cannot be stopped by the lack of wisdom of politicians” he declared. Better Prices.

The agricultural industry will not need saving if the farmer can achieve better prices between the things he buys and sells, he continued, but “if the house is not put in order unspeakable incon- veniences will ensue.” The farmer will still exist, but there are levels below which the industry cannot fall qnd retain any of its former economic health. “The chief beneficiary between industry and agriculture will be the urban dweller,” he said. “While prices stabilization for the farmer can be delayed bys- unwise government action it cannot be delayed very much longer.’’

SPRING TREATMENT OF LAWNS

Lawns generally require spring treatment and results on lawii plots maintained by tlie'Diviôn oi Forage Plants, Dominion Experimental Farms, prove conclusively that the necessary spring treat- ments should be given early. The first thing that 33iay be necessary is rolling, "which should he done as soon as the frost is out of the ground and before^ the surface has-thoroughly dried out. This rolling^ will put down any frost-heave and do niiieh to love, up the whole surf,ace. As soon as the surface is dry, | the lawn should be given a thorough raking. The raking should he thorough enough to remove all| dead material, particularly annual grasses from the. previous year ,and loosen up the ground surface of the lawn. If possible, and it is generally necessary, a light top dressing of good soil should he put on and raked in. An ordinary lawn after rolling should require from 5 to 10 cubic feet of earth per- 1000 square feet of lawn surface and the quantitv put on should be sufficient to level up the ground surface but not to bury the grass. - i

If a good stand of grass is already present no- ■seeding may, he necessary but, if after raking, the grass looks thin, and bare places are"evident, re-seeding shouldbe done. For ordinary good hard wearing turf production a. seeding of Kentucky Blue, Col- onial Bent and White Dutch clover is recommended. The mixture is made up of four parts Blue grass, one part bent by weight and for every three pounds of the mixture one-quarter ounce White Dutch clover is added. This mixture for a new seeding should be.sonm at three pounds per'1000 squaie feet. -For thickening up an established lawn less may be used. In determining the necessity for re- seQding|,it should be realized that the thicker and stronger the stand of grass,the less trouble will be experienced with weeds, and the earlier in the spring this thick dense turf can be established the greater the chance the grass has to smother out any new weed growth.

.Grass, like every otjier living thing must have food and when .starting growth in the spring the presence, of necessary food is essential. There are on the market a num.ber of alrûdv mixed plantfoods which can be, used at small cost and great advantage as soon as growth starts. All lawn require fer- tilizing, and particularly lawn. areàs where trees are present. In many eases where it may be thought that shade from trees is preventing the growth of grass, the trouble is not shade but starvation. Where grass must exist in competition with trees, regular applications of fertilizer wdll make it possible to grow the grass successfully.

All lawns require some special work and the earlÎCT it ,can be done the better- will be the result throughout the whole season.-—R. I. HAMILTON, Central Expériniental Farm, Ottawa.

importance to the producers of honey both in the Northern States and Canada. To be of greatest value to .Canadian producers the first year, package bees should arrive as soon as possible after April 15, and two weeks earlier at the Pacific Coast. Arrange- ments should be made with express or customs of- ficials for immediate delivery upon arrival. ' When received the packages should be put into a cool shady place, and as much sugar syrup as the bees will take sprinkled on the screening of the packages.

The hives in which the bees are to be housed should he in readiness by having in them at least five drawn combs or frames of foundation. The drawn combs are preferable and one or more of these should be well filled with honey and pollen. If foundation is used the bees will have to be fed liberally until sufficient nectar is available in the fields. During late afternoon or early evening before it gets dark, take the packages to the apiary and re- lease the bees into their hives. Push the five frames in the hive over to pne side, remove the feeder can from the package and then take out the small cage containing the queen. Uncover the candy hole in the top bars of the ^frames in the hive. Now shake a few bees from the package on to the top of the frames near the queen and then place the package, containing the bees, upside down in the hive along side the frames, first making sure to place a small pebble or piece of wood under one end of the package so that the bees may escape from package to combs freely. Cover the hive and reduce the hive entrance to 1-inch in length, Two or three days later the empty package is to be removed and the hive filled with comb or foundation. The qufeen cage is examined to see if the queen has been released. If not, push a nail through the candy, taking care not to injure the queen, and replace the cage-.

This method is not the only way the bees may be released, but is' the one commonly used at Ot- tawa. Another simple way is to fill the hive entirely with frames, put ah empty super on it and after removing and placing the queen cage as out- lined lay the package on its side in the super. No matter what method is used, it is of the utmost importance not to disturb the colony for at least seven days after installing the bees, otherwise the loss of queens through supersedure may be extremely heavy.

jFor the' purpose of studying the problem of weeds in Canada an Associate Committee on Weed Control, the personnel of which are members of the Dominion Department ®f Agriculture, the National Research Council, the Provincial Departments of Agriculture and Agricultural Colleges, has been set up. , ' .

Weeds on farms throughout Canada are causing an annual loss to farmers that represents a staggering monetary total. It is estimated that the loss caused by weeds fd grain crops alone aggregates well over $100,000,000 |a year and the unpleasant truth is that the problem is each year becoming more serious.

The Committee intends to study the problem of weeds throughout the^DOminion and to make a report with' recommendations on control and eradi- cation.

Asparagus is one of the most prized early spring vegetables and deserves a place in every garden. It is easily grown and being perennial a single planting given good càre will last for ten or twelve years.

Plants may either be bought or grown from seed. One-year-old roots are the best to set out in the permanent bed. Seed should be sown in drills one and one-half inches deep'with’drillsy^t least fif teen inches apart. The seed is slow to germinate and in ground where »weeds are likely to be trou blesome it is often advisable to plant a few seeds of some quick germinating kind such as radish so that rows wdll be clearly defined which facilitates weeding.The plants should be thinned to six inches apart in order to allow' maximum root development the first season.

The following spring the permanent bed should be prepared. Asparagus rows are best planted four feet apart. Each row should be trenche(J ' eight to twelve inches deep depending on the soil type, the lighter the soil, the greater should be the depth. When the bed is prepared the young plants should be dug and all weak and small-roots discarded.

In the row, plants should be spaced eighteen to twenty-four inches apart and covered to a depth of two inches. The better soil should be placed closest to the roots and where the bottom of the trench is in the less fertile subsoil well rotted barnyard manure or rich earth should first be spread along tho row. During the season as growth develops the trenches should graduatally be filled up.

Asparagus demands a fertile soil and heavy annual applications of well-rotted manure should be dug in early each spring.

No crop should be harvested the first year after planting and comparatively little the second year. During the third year harvesting should bë limited to five or six weeks, thereafter from eight to ten weeks.

PERENNIAL CLIMBERS In recent years there has been a good deal of

interest in rock gardens which is a very natural development when it is realized that artistic results can be secured. Where the ground slopes sharply this sort of treatment. is particularly effective. Large irregular boulders are sunk well into the ground and the little alpine plants are grown in deep earth pockets between.

Most of these plants originated in the rocky slopes of the old lands and in our mountainous sections. In rock gardens they change an ugly or washed-out bank into a most attractive miniature garden with a profusion of bloom. About 40 different types of all colors and sizes are available from the dianthus, forget-me-nots, ■violas, primu- las which grow up to 8 inches in height, though the medium sized alyssums arahis, campanulas lin- arisa, to the taller erigeron, eerastium, candytuft, geum and pyrethrum and others.

p. CORN BREEDING ON THE

EXPERIMENTAL FARMS Some interesting work with corn being con-

ducted on the Dominion Experimental Farms Con- cerns varietal hybrids. This Work has as its object the securing of both earlier and higher yielding material through the utilization of increased vi- gour which is obtained through the crossing of certain varieties. So far crosses have bèèn made chiefly between early flint and late dent varieties, and the hybrid- material obtained has in some eases shown .much promise. Undoubtedly a great deal more will be heard of varietal crosses in future years.

lat Do Ihe People Want?| Much has bepn said about the

depression and the prevailing hard times. Have conditions im- proved? The different governments have made proposals claim- ing that if adopted good times will return What,; after all, do the Canadian people expect or desire of “Recovery” or the “New Deal”? What are we-thinking about primarily? What are we demanding of our political and economic leaders? Of course w'e want a return of prosperitv. We w-ant work for the unemploy- ed. We want security for the worker, for the aged and infirm. We can safely say that every Canadian wants some reasonable assurance that a catastrophe, such as w-e have experienced the past four years, shall not occur again. These are good things, and we have a right to work for them, to demand that our leaders shall seek a solution for our economical problems. But is this all we want? Have w'e truly learned anything by the depression? Do we covet heauty rather than luxury? Do we seek a higher, better in formed intelligence? Are our ideals any higher and purer than heretofore? Has adversity chas- tened our manhood and woman- hood, .strengthened our moral will?

A w'ell-known Canadian politician—we w’ill not divulge his name—who for the past five years has been in protest against economic exploitation of the masses, and has at times leaned rather strongly toward the red, or at lea,st the “deep pink” pro- paganda of socialism, remarked 'the other day that he, was becoming convinced that the well being of society is at bottom a thing of the spirit that programmes and policies are less important than the character of men and women This opinion show-s this politician to be a sane and thoughtful man Apparently he has learned his lesson. Unquestionably, the solution of human problems depends in the last a.nalysis on whether we are bigger, steadier, wiser and deeper-hearted than before—at least that is our opinion.

SOME GLADIOLI VARIETIES FOR THE HOME GARDEN

The gladiolus, although rapidly increasing in j)opularity in Eastern Canada, is not grown nearly so extensively as it should be. One of the chief reasons for this is the lack of knowledge ofxpros- pective purchasers as to satisfactory varieties. Marked improvements have been made in the gladiolus in recent years through the medium of breeding, vsdth the result that numerous outstanding varieties have been introduced. At the time of introduction, many of these varieties sell at vei'y high prices. In most eases, however, the price rapidly declines and within a very few years, is within the reach of the average grower.

At the present time, it is possible to obtain a collection of twenty-five to thirty good varieties, at a price approximating six or seven cents per medium-sized corm. For the average home garden, medium- sized corms, will give just as good result as large-sized corms, and at the same time will effect a eonsiderablè saving in expenditure.

The following list arranged in alphabetical order contains a number of really good varieties, that have given satisfaction at the Dominion Experi- mental Station, Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Aida, Albatims, Aflame, Apricot Glow, Ave Maria, Bagdad, Betty Nuthall, Berty Snow, Com- mander Koehl, Chas. Dickens, Dignity, Director, Emile Aubrun, Field Marshall, Goldfinch, Goldeti Dream, Morocco, Marmora, Maid of Orleans, Mrs. T. E. Langford, Mother Machree, Mrs. P. W. Sis- son, Nellie, Orange Queen, Pirate, Primate, Paul Pfitzer, Picardy, Pimpernel, Pfitzer’s Triumph, Spray of Gold, Salbach’s Pink and Sultan (Crow).

For the most part, the cost of these varieties is very reasonable, and they have the added advantage of covering a very wide colour range. o

WHAT’S IN THE CAN

Have you ever opened a can of peas and found to your disappointment that they were hard and perhaps not the size you like best? Yes, this has happened often, but quite unnecessarily.

All fruits and vegetables sold in tin cans in Canada are graded and the grade designation is plainly marked on the label. FANCY QUALITlf, CHOICE QUALITY and STANDARD QUALITY are found in retail stores. The lowest grade —SE- COND QUALITY—is rarely seen. These grades of quality are enforced by Dominion Government inspections and if products are bought by quality satisfaction is assured.

“FANCY QUALITY” is as nearly perfect as possible, select for appearance and care in pre- paration. It may be used when uniformity of size and colour are considered important. Use it as it comes from the can, or for special salads.

“CHOICE QUALITY” is not so perfect , in appearance but quite as good in flavour and is packed from tender products. It may be used to advantage where flavour and tenderness are important, but appearance is not so essential.

“STANDARD QUALITY” lacks uniformity, but is quite as good in food value. It may be used where eeonoiqy is essential. Fruit of this grade JS excellent for puddings, gelatine dishes or frozen desserts. Vegetables may be used in escalloped dishes, some salads and for soups.

Commercially canned foods have left 'the emergency shelf and taken their place in evei"y day meals. If bought by grade and if different grades of each product are kept on hand, the menus may be varied and economical.

The size of can is important; It is always economy to buy the largest sized can which may be conveniently used. The following table showing common sizes may prove helpful:—

Can Size Approx. Measure No. 1 special 3-4 cup 8 oz. 1 cup No. 1 1 1-4 cups No. 2 1-2 flat 1 2-3 cups No. 2 2 1-2 cups No. 2 squat 2 1-4 cups. The average family will use Nos. 2, 2 1-2 or 2

squat. No. 1 special,- No. 1 and 8 oz. may be useful in very small families, or for luxury foods. No. 2 squat is the same diameter as No. 2, but not so tall arid the two may .be easily confused.

SUGGESTED- LAMB MENUS FOR EASTER

In France, down through the centuries, lamb has been the national meat ; likewise, in the Bri- tish Isles, lamb and mutton have ahvays been popular with the English, Spotch and Irish peoples. At, Easter time particularly, choice fresh lamb will have a speéial appeal to all Canadians.

Lamb and the Easter Season have been asso- ciated from time immemorial. Long before the Israel ites became a nation, and.ages before the Christian era, spring lamb figured largely in the feasts to the honour of the various goddesses of spring. Early in +he history of the world, lamb also figured in religious ceremonies, tho Israelites, during captivity in Egypt, keepirig up their old practice as a pastoral people of sacrificing the firstlings of théir flocks in the spring.

Among the Anglo-Saxons, Norsemen and other Teutonic races, the feast of Eostre or Ostara, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, was celebrated in April, which was named Eosturmonath, or Eas- teri month, when young lambs -were principal items at all the feasts. With the coming of Christianity, and the celebration of the Christian Easter, the traditional use of lamb-still persisted, and so on to the present day.

Canadian agriculture has specialized, in the raising and fattening ol: lambs ' for the Easter market. Baby lambs for the Easter trade, commonly known as “hot house” lambs, are born before the New Year. The ewes producing these milk-fed lambs are fed on

I high protein feeds, so that the lambs grow and fat- ten on the ewe’s milk, obtaining a live weight of j50 to 70 pounds and dress out with a 30 to 40 pound carcass. Such lambs are a great delicacy, be-

I ing the finest and tenderest of meat, and possessing a delicate lamb flavour which is unexcelled. This

I class of lamb usually commands a high price. How- j ever, connoisseurs of lamb do not heistate to pay I for this quality of product, which is recognized .the world over as the best. I People of more moderate means may purchase, at a very reasonable price, prairie-grown, fresh-killed, feedlot lambs, which are generally recognized as one of Canada’s most outstanding meats, possessing tenderness, juiciness and flavout.

I These fre.sh-killed feedlot lambs are now available I on all markets throughout Canada. Lamb roasts or I lamb chops from these carcasses, when served with vegetables, will provide a most enjoyable and healthful Easter dinner.

For Canadians who wish to purchase still more moderately priced lamb, there is available the product of baby grass-fattened ,lambs placed in storage last fall. This lamb is excellently flavoured and tender, and the price is so moderate as to meet the purse of all.

Style 'in eating is just as important as style in dress." Be sure to order lamb for family use the week previous to, and the, week "after Easter.

How To Choose Modish Priols

It would seem that the background of a silk print is as im portant as the background of a debutante in the social whirl Just any old thing won’t do. A plain flat crepe, no matter how interesting its print, cannot hold a candle to the newer novelties.

The backgrounds of the> prints have decided interest in themselves. Matelasses, crepeons, dob- by crepes, rough crepes, heavily ridged diagonal crepes and peh bled crepes all form the foundation for the be.st of the family of prints this spring and summer. Until you see these materials you cannot imagine how new an.I how fine-looking they are. The very backgrounds are rich and tandsome. The prints that are. being done are highly artistic land effective.

Keep in the dark about your 'backgrounds if you want to be chic. Of course there are tho number of lighter backgrounds which look tempting, but a view qf the fine clothes already made shows a preponderance of dark grounds, and if you want the clothes you make to look like them, then stay in the dark. And this is true not only of daytime piints but extends itself to' important evening prints which are seen on satin, crepe and taffeta.

Now that we haye covered the first two important tendencies, the background weave, and its color, consider the third! The print 't seif! To look new it should be fairlj’- ividely spaced. The reason is logical enough. With - interest in the background, a close allover print might give the fabric .a heavy rococco look. But the widely spaced print does credit to the weave and shows it up proudly. Another point in its favor is that these prints are perfect for shir- ling, gathering and pleating, all of which are extremely important for spring. Massed effects would look bulky and heavy when fulled, while the spaced de- sign works up in this manner in a most pleasing way and is actually slimming to the figure.

Perennial Pels Amony Plaids Those perennial pets, the

cheeks and plaids, are back and better than ever this year. Like the sailor mode in millinery, they pep up every spring^^-but with always a novel bent to keep them fresh and new. If you have been wearing the usual dark, bright plaids, try one of the new silk plaids with pastel background and the plaid in contrasting pas tels of the same, value with a lim'» ii) a darker tone of the background color for accent. For var-; iety in cheeks we recommend trying light crossbar patterns on bright-dark backgrounds.

Little girls are going to find the giddy plaid gingham just the thing to brighten their last days cf school, and, although the Tahi- tian prints are still prominent in the spring picture, their complete freshness was taken from them by the winter valcationists. There are some merrily striped cottons for your clothes, and don't miss the cottons that have been especially made for sport ( oats and jackets, including the one that' has orange, bright green, yellow and natural in the home- spun effect.

sharks' Teeth and Nose Prove Valuable to Them

Sharks iif-ver lack for razor-sharp eoth. Kunetional teeth stand erect on

"he eOffe of the jaws in a single row. Vs these teeth become worn and lost, «ays a .writei- in the New York Times, ihe membrane from the inner surface noves over the edge of the jaw, carrying with it fully developed teeth of a new secondary row.- At any given time there are behind the functional teeth a series of reserve rows from five to seven In number, lying recum- bent oae below the other on the inner surface of the ja-w, all in reserve, being covered by a broad band of membrane that extends up over them from the bases of the jaws.

These are the terrible weapons which have ability to slice into the shagreen-protected hides of other sharks, when they bite out hunks just as you would bite a piece out of an apple.

But more important to the shark than even this is his ability to smell. Two prominent nostrils In the anterior extremity of the head and covered with skin flaps permit him to scent bis food In an uncanny fashion from un- believable distances.

Eskimos know that when seal blood Is allowed to ooze from a chill bladder placed In an ice hole the sharks, no matter how distant, will scent It on the sea currents and come hurrying in a horrible rush. Woe to the juicy sea animal that cannot escape or hide from the shark once it Is scented, for the shark tracks down its prey like a buzzard, and with more decisive results. s

Apple Trees From France First Planted in Canada

Sleur De Monts cleared land at Port Royal in 1605 and in 1663 Pierre Martin brought young apple trees from France and planted them at Belle Isle, near Port Royal, says the Montreal Herald. They grew and other Acadian farmers became interested and propagated apples. Having come from the wlne-pro- duclng part of France, Pierre Martin and his neighbors, no doubt, made choice cider from their apples. The winter evenings would be made cheery by a drink that would sparkle like the champagnes of Normandy.

Scarcely sixty years after Martin had planted his first orchard there were 1.500 apple trees in the vicinity of Port Royal. Beaubassin had 40 acres of land planted to/ orchards and all thriving well. When the New England colonists^entered the country in 1700. they were amazed to find many small orchards, bearing well. They realized that this would be an asset to their farms and before long, many o< them had established orchards.

The first apples to be gro'wn In North America were the Gravenstefns. the finest apple of Normandy, prized for Us juiciness and flavor.

The first apple trees in Quebec were planted in 1663, thirty years after those in Port Royal. The Fameuse was the variety and is still popular.

Postage Stamp Plates Stamp collectors consider the word

typography as a general term embrac- ing alt printing done from type and designs In relief without regard for the method used In duplicating the stamp subjects which make up the printing plate, says, the Chicago Trib- une. The individual designs may be type-set, stereotyped. electrot.yped, or even stamped out in a coining ijress and are usually soldered to each other or to a mounting block in order that none of the parts may loosen in tlie printing. Typography Is cheap when compared to intaglio engraving, and is used by many countries tor stamp printing, counterfeiting being mini- mized by the use of special papers and inks. Carelessness in assembling plates has produced some of the greatest errors in stamps either by allow- ing one stamp subject,''or “cliche” as tliey are called, to be Inverted, or by inserting a cliclie of another value in a plate.

Land for the White House Tile principal owners of the land

on which the city of Washington is built were Daniel Carroll, Samuel Davidson, Notley Young and David' Burnes. The land on which the White House, stands belonged to David Burnes, an aged Scotchman, who very reluctantly gave up his 000 acres for the federal city when negotiations were in progress for buying up land for the National Capital. Daniel Car- roll owned a large tract of land along the eastern branch of the Potomac river, wliich includes the site of the Capitol.

The Black Watch

The origin of tlie Black Watch dates from 1729. They wore the dress of tlieir country, a tartan of dark color, wliich gained for tliem tl>e Gaelic ap- pellation of li'reicudan Du, which trans- lated is Black Watch, in contradistinc- tion to the regular troops, who wore scarlet coats and were called Red sol- diers. They engaged mostly in police work until 1740, when they wore i;egu- larly organized into the Forty-second, Regiment of the Ijine. Their war history began at the Battle of Fontenoy.

-4- NARROW ESCAPE

Donat Rolland, of Fournjier, ■tas either born under a lucky star or packs a plentiful supply of rabbits’ feet. This was evident on Saturday evening when ne drove his Ford coupe into the bTisiness end of the Canadian Na- tional express engine and escaped with nothing worse than a quickening of-his nervous system. The car did not fare off as well, however. It suffered a bent dooi, broken wdieel, dtsarranged mud guard, a disorganized radiator and a shattering of glass which combined spells general debility.

The accident happened ai the Main Street crossing. When he was approaching the crossing from the north, he saw the Ottawa express pass west. Evidently thinking all was quiet on the western front he proceeded, unaware that the

A'iontreal express was pulling out fioin the station. Just as he passed the first rail, the engine

■ Struck his car about the right Side door, and tossed it just

, across the sidewalk and up against the railing on the right- of-w'a.y. Naturally it was a verj much frightened man who alighted.

1 A remarkable feature was tha+ I none of the train crew, not eve tile engineer or fireman knew

.that anything unusual had hap Ipened, The train proceeded as if it was an -every day occurrence. Donat hopes, however, that it will not become a. habit.

ciety, when the newly appointed District Secretary, Rev. Jas. Adams, B.A. was the speaker.

The president, Rev. A. J. Flet- cher, pastor of the church, was assisted in the opening exercises by Rev. Dr. I’. A. Macleod, of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. J. H. Hamilton, 'of the United Church.

Follow'ing the reading and adoption of the report of the sc- Cl etary treasurer. Rev.. Mr. Ham- ilton, the president-elect took the chair. He thanked the members for the honor done him and assured the District Secretary that as in the past, the Maxvilie Branch would this year lend loyg.1 cooperation to the Bible Society which has done such splendid w'ork during the 131.years of its existence.

The officers elect are as fol low's: President, Rev. J. H. Haiii iiton, B.A. VAce President, Rev. Dr. P. A. Macleod, M.A. ; Secre- tary-Treasurer, T. W. Munro ; Directors, P. P. Christie, Dan C. MeInto.sh, How'ard A. McEwen ; John M. MacRae, Wm. Morrow, P. A. Munroe, N. L. Stewart, Fred Campbell, D. P. McDiarmid, G. H. McDougall. '

After acknowledging the kind ly and encouraging words spoken b-jr the chairman. Rev. Mr. Adams delivered a highly inter csting address entitled “Unto the. ends of the earth.” This was a concise bird’s eye view of the w'ork being accomplished in the far-flung areas of the earth—from the equator to the Arctic—by the Bible Society.

His address was enriched by the screening of a series of beautiful colored slides.

Two addresses were given the first on Easter, the day of gladness, closing with the words, “There is sorrow and depression in many of our homes to- day and there is world unrest and fear—Let our prayer be that the joy of Easter may enter every heart and home and fear vanish before the entrance of faith and love. The rock foundation of our Christian,religion is “Christ risen from the dead” and “because He lives we shall live also.”

He is not only to be believed but lived. Our individual responsibility for passing on to others the blessings which have come through th Love of God and the Life of Jesus, so we may enter into a new fel- h wship of joy of hope and of power that we , may be , worthy followers of Our Risen Lord.

AT 62-IA BED WITH BHEUMATISM

AT 65—WORKING AGAIN Why worry about i-heumatism?

This old fellow had it almost as bad as it could be. But he just found the right remedy, stuck to it, and now he’s working again— at 65 years of age.

Letfliim tell you all about it=— “For %wo years and a half,” he writes, “I have suffered from rheumatism. For eighteen months I could not turn ov5r in bed, ncr help myself in any way. My legs and feet were swollen, and 1 ciuld not sleep or get any rest un til I started taking Kruscheii Salts. After taking one bottle, I went about on two canes. I kept on taking it, as I found the pains were leaving me. I have takeix six bottles, and now I have started work again. I am 65 years of age, and everybody that know’ me says I am a wonder to get on, after what I was.”—J.B. Do you realise what causes rheu-

matismt Nothing but sharp- edged urie acid crystals which form as the result ' of sluggish eliminating organs. Krusehen Salts can always be counted upon tO''!clear those ' painful crystals from the system.

CARE OF THE INFANT We believe that every mother

desires to do what is best for her child. All of us hope that every baby will receive proper care, so that he may grow up into a healthy adult.

A great responsibility, rests upon every mother. A great responsibility and, at the same time, a gêat privilege. For upon the mothers of this ocuntry today de pends the health of the citizens ofthe next generation.

The infant is absolutely de- pendent upon his niother. Beyond his ability to express pain and hunger bÿ. ijieans nf crying, he is a very helpless ‘creature. It is this extreme helplessness that in many ways is so appealing to the mother, while at the same time it makes great demands upon her.

It is a fact that a great deal of the sickness which occurs amongst infants is due to the fact that mothers , instead of breast-feeding their babies put them on artifi oial feeding that can compare cial feeding there is no artifi- with natural food. The child who is deprived of the natural food loses something, that canijot be replaced, and has not an equal chance to gf-ow up strong and well as opmpared with his naturally-fed brother.. ■ ■

Why ar;e ba,bies artificially fed? There, are ,a few who are so unfortunate as fo lose their mothers ,and also, jn a few cases, the mother’s illness, as for example when she has tuberculosis, makes it impossible for her to nurse her child. But in the vast majority of oases it is because the mother does not know that she is doing the. wrong thing when she weans her baby. Indeed she thinks, for some reason she cannot nurse hei child. As a matter of fact there are very few women who cannot ûrse ;their babies, but in many cases they need-some instruction as ,to how to do it or they will f ai' in their attempt.

We therefore urge upon all mothers, in fairness to themselves and do their -children, never to wean their babies because they are finding difficulty in nursing, or because they think the child is not doing well, or because some well-meaning friend or neighbour j tells of :-some wonderful artificial food. To do so is a serious mis- take. Seek adxice from your family doctor; he will tell you what you need to know so that you can nurse your baby and so give him the best chance to grow up iaito a healthy adult. Never wân the baby unless advisee! to do so by yo.ur, family physiefan. , '

Squirrels Credited With Planting Hardwood Trees

Gra.v squirrels will not live in any old kind of a woods. Squirrels are plentiful only where tliere is plenty of squirrel food. They like the shelter and protection of evergreen trees, especially when other trees are bare, but the.v cannot live in an evergreen forest long unless there are hardwoods near by to supply them with food. As soon as the acorns apd nuts are ready, squirrels begin to store them up for winter. Contrary to what most of us think, says a writer in the New York Herald Tribune, squirrels do not select a hollow tree and fill it with nuts, each carefully weighed in one paw to make certain that it is not false. They hide individual nuts here and there.^ and all over, usually on the surface of the ground tucked under leaves and grass but often in the bark and crotclies of the trees.

The hiding of nuts and acorns explains a curious fact that often puz- zlbs farmers—when a stand of evergreens is cut off it 'usually grows up to hardwoods, hickory or oak. Squir- rels living In the evergreens have hidden away tliousands of nuts and acorns for their winter food. When tlie snow is deep the ground will be covered with a maze of criss-cross tunnels marking where tliese busy little ani- mais have searched out their hidden winter supplies from cold storage. They do not find all the nuts and acorns—no squirrel memory is capable of that—and when the evergreen trees are cut drivvn during the winter they are forced to move out suddenly and abandon wliat is left of their remain- ing provisions—which sprout and grow up the next summer into young hardwood trees. ’ '

Bit qf Islam Thrives in Heart of Western China

-Among the many strange peoples who populate nortliwest China, one lit- tlerknovvii tribe is that of the Salars. write?, a correspondent in the London 'I’inies. Far removed from their orig- inal home in Samarkand, in Central .\sl.i. 'tlio.v have lived 600 years in a section of Kansu, near tlie city of Sunliwa. on the south bank of the yellow river, west of Lanchow. Tiiis area tliey have appropriated so thoroughly that It has virtually become their own. Tliey are Moslems, and it is only within recent years, tlirougli the compulsory educational regulations of the Chine.se government, enforced through Moslem ofhcials. that they have Had any knowledge of the Chinese language. Previous to this, through the hundreds of years of tlieir residence in China, they have used the Turkish tongue of their ances- tors. This is an ancient form of modern Turkish which can be readily un- derstood by the present-day visitor from a Turkisli-speaklng country of the West. •

Throughout these centuries of residence in China they have retained not only their linguistic but also their ra- cial characteristics. Their women still wear the' big turban and the wide, heavily braided trousers which were' in vogue wlien they left their home in .Samarkand more than six centuries ago.

Birth of “Oh, Promise Me'* A prima donna’s temperament is said

to have been chiefly responsible for the wide popularity of “Oh, Promise Me,” says the Washington Post. “Uol)- In Hood,” the operetta, with music by Reginald de Koven, and libretto by Harry B. Smith, had its world premiere in Chicago in 1890. After the premiere, .Tessie Bartlett Davis, wlio played the .role of Alan-a-Dale, absolutely declined to appear in the second performance beoa'tse she said part of the musical score was unsuitable. She could not be induced under any circumstances to sing her role, and De Koven and Smith were at their wits’ end to find something that would appease her. Suddenly De Koven remembered a tune that iie had written some years earlier, and which had never been sung pulilicl.v. It was “Oh, Promise Me,” witli words by Clement Scott. De Koven played the melody on the piano for Miss Davis. She was deliglited, and promised to resume her role if slie were allowed to sing tlie new song. De Koven still saw visions of utter failure, but when he listened to the rendition of “Oli, Promise Me, ’ and he'ard tile tremendous applause that followed, lié realized that tiie bal- lad had settled the fate of “Itoliin Hood” and that a world-famous song had been hern.

If All fere Lihe Him He was a prominent, citizen of tbe

eommunity .He controlled quite a bit of property, and had financial power in the community, but be did not take his home-paper. He either could not spare the small sum per year to pay for the paper ,or he was too big a man to fool with taking a paper like that. At any rate he did not take the home-paper. If everj'one in the community had been like him there could have been no home- paper.

His wife gave a swell receptfon. The local paper gave a good ao- count of the affair. He would hav’e thought it awful if it had not been in the home-paper. Bui if ^’erybody had been like him there could have been no homo- paper.

His daughter got married. It tooj was a swell affair, and the local paper gave a proper account of it. He felt that a man of his importance was deserving of such notice by the home-paper. But if every body had been like him there could have been no home- paper.

He got seriously sick, and the home-paper told all about it. His friends looked to the paper to know how lie was getting along, and when his condition got worse, they all knew about it through the paper. But if everybody had been like him there could have been no home-paper.

He died and was given an ap- propriate funeral. Care was taker, to see that the home-paper got full information regarding the important events of his life, so as to give him the final “write-up” that a man of his sta.nding desei- yed. But if everybody had been like him, tliere could have been no home-paper.

The family requested several copies of that Lssue of the pajier, and sent in a card of thanks. But they acted as if seriously aggrieved when asked to pay for the card of thanks and the extra papers. Thought all this ought to be free too. And the minister who had charge of the funeral ,a former resident of the place but now living elsewhere, wanted the paper to send him a copy containing an account of the funeral— free of course.

Sometimes, the newspaper won ders how “prominent” a man can be when year after year he , lyill fail to have his name on the list of the homepa.per,' hut expects that the home-paper, .shall show him the same oon.sideration as it does a pa.troii.

You must Tell Them to Sell Them

Unless you keep telling them by Advertising what you have to offer them, the fellow who has been in business only fifty weeks, and who advertises intelligenUy, will prove to you the truth of it.

The Glengsrry News.

A Bependeliii! Man is a Man Who Advertises NINE times out of ten you ivill find

that the man who advertises is the man who most ■willingly returns your money if you are not satisfied.

Ne has ioo much at stake to risk los- ing your trade or your confidence. You can depend on him.

He is not in business for today or tomorrow only — but for next year and ten years from next year. He knows the value of good-will.

You get better merchandise at a

fairer price than he could ever hope to sell it if he did not have the larger volume of business that comes from legitimate adyertiîHë and gooijs that bear out the prohjise of the printed word.

Don’t miss the advertisements. This very day they call your attention to values that tomorrow you will be sorry you overlooked.

DON’T MISS THE ADVERTISEMENTS

Advertisements Are a Guide to Vajue . ,.H -l.. ! ■'I'-

Experts can roughly estimate the value of a product by looMng at it. More accur- ately, by handling and examining it. Its appearance, its texture, the “feel” and the balance of it all mean something to their trained eyes and fingers.

But no one person can be an expert on steel, brass, wood, leather. Foodstuffs, fabrics, and all of the materials that make up a list of personal purchases. And even experts are fooled, sometimes, by concealed flaws and imperfections.

There is a surer index of value than the senses of sight and touch—^knowledge of the maker’s name and for what it stands.

Here is the most certain method, except that of actual use, for judging the value of any manufactured gonds. Here is the only guarantee against careless, workmanship, or the use of shoddy materials. .

This is one important reason why it pays to read advertisements and to buy advertised goods. The product that is advertised is worthy of your confidence.

You Can’t Stay Where You Are YOU turn through a kodak album and

smile at old-style clothes. Skirts cluttering the ankles . . . hats perched high up on hair . . . wasp, waists . . . awkward sleeves—odd how your taste h^s changed!

Yet day by day your taste changes in

all you wear and do. You don’t like the , same books, enjoy the same movies, choose

the same underwear, prefer the same soap you did a short while ago. You are so used to the better, you wonder why you liked the old., Advertisements nâke you know the better as soon as it’s proved to be bet-

ter. They tell of good things accepted as good taste in the best homes. The hosiery, glass-curtains, lighting fixtures other mo- derns use; why their use is preferred. Ad- vertisements influence so many around you, sooner or later you’ll feel the change. Even if you never read an advertisement, you’ll use in time some of the conveniences which advertisements urge you to use to- day. Advertisements form a tide of taste

that sweeps you forward; you can’t stand still. Since you’ll enjoy what they advertise

anyway, why not begin enjoying it now?

The gay Tife at Monte Carlo palls bn Betty. She remonstrates with Peter and they decide to return to England. Betty is going to have a baby. Peter informs his mother, ..but Grant Craddock is unsympathetic. In devious ways Peter’s mother works for a recon- coliation. Grant Craddock sells house and retires to the country.

Returning to London, Peter realizes that Jiis-,money has dwin- dled. SIR CARDWELL HANSON' employs him as test pilot, and speaks of another stunt flight. Peter buys a pretentious house rejoicing that he has achieved all his father has in life and more.

He prepares to test a new engine. Peter never knowdng fear except a little when first he took Betty up, dreams at nights of crashing. He proves that he has not lost his flying nerve.

It is not unnoticed at the works that Peter drinks too much. He is worried a little over housekeep mg expenses which are too big foi a test pilot’s income. His prize money is rapidly going.

Incessant entertaining makes Peter’s financial position critical, causing Betty, in her condition much anxiety. Peter in an effort to improve his position hops over to the Continent unknown to Betty, ad loses at the gaming ta- bles. After a cocktail party, Bet- ty collapses. Declarih^ always that he would never appeal to h is father, hé phones his mother.

A sori* arrives. Peter’s mother while staying

w'ith them suggests tha,t Peter should apologise to his father and make it up. He will not. When Pe- ter hears at the works that another is chosen to do the stunt flight, he protests. The manager tells him that others have to win their spurs and also gives him a hint to “go easy on the bottle.’’ CHAPTER XIV. — (Continued) MRS. CRADDOCK REPORTS Peter resolved to rid fhe Zutro

Company of its brightest test- pilot as soon as he could find another job. All he needed to do was to go to any aeronautical firm and say that Peter Craddock was willing to volunteer his services. This Zutro show was getting worn-out, anyhow. And it might be a good idea to see Sir Cardwell himself. Peter remembered all the magnificent things that had been said about him les>- than a year ago; he was still young enough to be - credulous.

There was, he decided, no need to tell Betty anything ; she was- n’t yet properly recovered; and fret wouldn’t do her any good. So it might be better to stick on at these works for a while. Any how, there was The Towers, and any other firm’s works were miles and miles away. He resolved again to go ea.sy with the li-

quor.

Mrs. Craddock had to enter into explanations when she got home again. The ordered comfort and sleekness of her own place contrasted happily with the slack- ness at The Towers ;and Grant- was wholeheartedly glad to see her.

“Well!’’ he a,sked. “Oh, I don’t know, dear, Pe-

ter’s gone a bit seedy-looking ; and that foolish house of his is awful ! Obviously the girl is no housekeeper.-He’s got her brother and sister living there, too. Very ordinary children, very ordinary. Badly trained, I mean.’’

“Did he—did he seem in any way repentant for his folly?” asked (îrant Craddock. She tried to gloss it over, but her truthful self betrayed her. She said that he was excited by fatherhood, not eager to discuss realities.

“In a word, he maintains his stubborn attitude?”

Well, Gwen admitted, it seemed rather that way; but there really hadn’t been a chance to go into details. Grant laughed scornfully.

“I.knew he’d come a cropper. I knew it. At his age—to .think he could know his own mind ! What’s that girl like?”

Betty, Mrs. Craddock declared, was not as bad as she’d expected. “In time, when she realises responsibility, she may shape all right,” she thought. “I’ve defin- itely come to the conclusion, though, that ,I’m a back-number, Grant. These modern youngsters are so startlingly frank; fney leave nothing to the imagination, somehow.’,’ , ,

“She’s having a bad influence on him of course?”

“I’d hardly say that ; they ’re both a pair of childrèn; and their helplessness made me want to cry sometimes. They’re so confident and so—oh, so ignorant. Ihey don’t think—they fancy that problems can be skated over with a joke.”

Grant grunted solemnly. “They’ll learn their lesson on?

of these days,” he darkly sup- posed. “Give them time!”

“Maybe they don’t need lessons,” she offered in tardy defence. “Maybe their ideas of life are so different from ours that anything we thought worth while is frotS to them.”

“Well, if he doesn’t want to admit himself a fool it is his owm affair,” said the father. And as an afterthought: “What’s tha.t child like?” Mrs. Craddock was able to say, quite truthfully, that their grandson was a darling. “Like Peter,” she added trium- phantly, as a sop to her husband's iil-humour.

CHAPTER XV. SACKED!

Back from retreat, Betty was to Peter a revelation. There was ,1 new, confident note in thoir re- lations now—now that Betty had discovered that Peter had, for- saking father and mother, made up his young mind to cleave sole- ’y to her.

Peter applied for a spot of leave ,and insisted on bearing his wife and son off on holiday not at all the holiday they had made of their honeymoon, of course ; but a lazy time by the sea. He felt very sober and responsible during these days.

Sealforth-on-Sea w’as a midway resort ; it had its select side and its popular side. Midway between the two extremes was a flying-field, w’here an enterpris- ing concern had established two joy-rides of ten minutes at a few shillings a flip.

Since Betty was content to sn with the child, Peter got into th,o ha,bit of chumming up with the I'ilots, who, veterans of the war though they were—yet treated him with the respect due to a spectacular world-flier. On an occasion when one pilot went sick, Peter volunteered in his stead, and performed hair-rais-

ing stunts that acted as a mar- vellously good advertisement for the company. One of the principals happened to be in attend- ance at the time, and he asked Peter if he felt likè considering an' engagement-for the season.

“Sorry; I’ve got my own job with the Zutro people,” Peter replied not without pride ; because these gipsy pilots had envied him in his stability. “I don't mind bearing a hand now and then, though, when you’ve got a rush on.”

"What with one thing and a.r.- other, he found, he was able to earn a substantial sum towards the expenses of this holiday. Once it got around that you could fly with Peter Craddock, custom was not wanting.

lihe other flying men found their pleasures in the popular end of the resort ; and they invited Peter to share their frolics. They had wives and families to a man; they were moderately sober, although apt to break out into ma-I-' cap riots. Their wives were quite décent. They rather made a pet of Betty and Michael,.who could safely be left with the trained nurse, who had agreed to accompany them to Sealforth—a,t a price. So- there was dancing at democratic, places where you paid eigi^teenpenee a night ,and got a second-to-none band and a floor that made you want to dance and dance ; and the parties pro- longed themselves in the rooms of this one or that, until all hours.

It was, indeed, a pity to leave the place; but it had to be done eventually; and Peter was rather surprised to find ho,w much that holiday had cost when it, wa.s reckoned up.

‘‘■We’ll have to; go easy for a wkile, I’m afraid,” Peter said, on tlie first nignt at home, faced with an accumulation of accounts

Of couree. I’ll touch ’em at the works for an increase; and,novv you and the boy are safe. I’ll make a point of seeing Sir Card- well, and arranging another big stunt—maybe that double hop.”

He reported at the works next day, fully intending to do cxacG iy that, but Mr. Maegregor told him that in view of certain econ- omies, his services were to be dispensed with, and he would be good enough to accept a fort- night’s notice.

“Oh, but hang it all!” demur- red Peter, feeling a vague and terrifying emptiness aa’ouud his diaphragm. “Why, curse it, I made the Zutro.”

, Mr. Maegregor was not so sure of that. His chief mechanic, anxi- ous to retain favour in a world that was increasingly pi'eca.rious, had told tales about Peter’s carelessness ; of his habit of drinking a couple of quick ones before taking off. Anyhow, the Zutro no longer needed advertisement. Other test-pilcfts were ' being] laid-off, moreover; Peter wa:mT unique in that respect.

He went away, sobered by the shock of threatened unemplov- ment. In the pilot’s mess, he found other men in a similar state, discussing what had sudden l.y become an ominous future. One or two opehly declared that the Zutro people were finding it difficult to make both ends meet, as were other construction firms. Like everything else, flying was beginning to slump.

“A darned good thing for you, Craddock, that you pouened all that goodly prize money last year; you’ll be able to ride this storm through, which is more than some of us can hope for.” Peter thought of how that prize- money had evaporated, and controlled an apprehensive shiver.

He sat down and wrote an entirely ungrammatical note to Sir Cardwell Hanson drawing his au- gust attention to the fact that the Zutro firm hq,d promrsed^to see that he was cared for, on 'account of the work already done He was, he said, quite willing to undertake apy new flight they

might care to contemplate. Now, surely, wms the time to give the Zutro. Vulture a boost ; put it on the commercial map. If Sir Cardwell would allow him an in- terview he would onlp be too happy to explain what he meant. He received a tardy reply some days later from Sir Cardwell’s secretary, to say that the matter would be brought to the grea.t man’s notice on his return from abroad.

Meantime, he went home when freedom was permitted, taking Ihe car along in a spiteful wmy that resulted in a, minor crash at a cross-roads ; no one hurt ; but a woman-driven ear wrecked some what. A considerable amount of value was knocked off the Bent ley, too. A cruising policeman seemed rather gratified to find Peter in trouble; mentioning that he had had his eyes on him for quite a bit. Peter’s perturbation grew as he took the aw'kwardly steering car home; and Betty, greeting him joyously, with some w’onderment of young Michael’s noticed his manner.

■^‘■What is it?” she demanded. ‘‘Have a cocktail before you say anything if it’s bad news,” _ “I’ve got the sack,” fretted Peter. They went into con niittce forthwith. To Betty the thouglit of - unemployment- was ia horror. She’d walked that grim road, herself.

■‘Don’t let jmuy people know,” she gamely implored, snugged o.n Peter’s knee, cocktails handy. ‘‘You know what you’ve said, you can hoe this row yourself, I 'll help. We can turn these servants out, and I’m game to run the show, mj'self.”

“We may, have,to do more than sack the servants,” sand Peter woefully, “Oh, well, it mayn’t be so bad; I’ve writien to old Hanson to remind him what he owes me—^us. I’ll follow that up for all I’m worth. If we:only hadn’t all these darned bills to face—.”

They were both seared, both brave with youth’s refusal to accept disaster.

‘ ‘ ’Course I won’t go and make a moan, to the governor,” Peter firmly said. “That would give him the laugh on us, if yoii like ! Ï irst sign of trouble, turn to him : he’d be no end bucked. Right into his hand! We’ll see it through by ourselves.”

“If it comes to a showdown, I can always get taken on again at the Hot Spot,” offered Betty,, W'ith a grimace of distaste, though.

“No, by gosh—not that; -vye’ve a long way to go before I need live on my wife’s earnings,’.’ Pe- ter grunted. “Let’s hope I don’t lose my nerve again, and then there’ll be no need to worry. But we’ll see—” What he'was think- iig was that the admiring world would never permit Peter Crad- dock to suffer any lack. Why, he was a sort of national monument. He had not yet come to realise that even .national monuments can grow neglected and forgotten.

Their serious discuss,ions usually ended the same way: cocktails, a rag; a sobering to visit the Uursery and rhapsodise over Michael ; or some casual round game with the kiddies. It was impossible to keep grave and por- tentous, with all young life and hope a bubble in their blood.

During following days Peter wrote to various aeronautical firms offering himself in an advisory capacity, mentioning his lecord and his willingness to undertake any flight, no matter how sensational. Some of the firms replied, saying they would keep the suggestion handy, in case of developments arising. Others ignored his letters. He wrote to newspapers, too, offering to write about flying, since he remembered the comfortable sums granted to him presviously— just for the use of his name signed to articles written by trained scribes. His letters were so ungrammatical that they caused edi- torial eyebrows to lift.

“Craddock?” said one editor. “Craddock? I seem to know the name, somehow— did he do something?”

That bubble reputation was evanescent.

Sir Cardwell Hanson i>egretted that his firm contemplated no further spectacular wo^k ; but would bear Peter’s application in mind for future reference. Peter W'ent and saw the magnate.

Don’t you think you owe me a square deal, sir?” he demanded. “I did a lot to put the Zutro on the map.”

“Splendid; so you did, Crad- dock. And we paid you handsome- ly for it, I seem to remember.’

“Oh, well, yes, sir, I’m not denying that ; but—what I mean

—I'd got the notion that I was sort of—sort of a member of th-3 firm, in a way.”

“My dear fellow, we are turning away dozens of men who never had a chance to win a prize of the size you won; men who have nothing saved ; who will have to go on the dole ;and we’re powerless to help ourselves. We can’t afford to maintain ornamental members.’’ Ornamental! That was a good one. Petei stopped trying after that.

The worst of it was : trades- people who’d been forgotten, so reluctant were they to present their- accountjs when Peter was succes.sful, now had surprising reincarnations. It was as if a ma- lignant whisper had gone the rounds that the Craddocks were up against it, as if a conspiracy were afoot to add to their anxie- ties..

Solicitors’ letters flow'ed in. Pe- ter burnt them, because they an- noyed him ; he did not know enough to take them seriously.

“I know what I’ll do.” Peter said, on the day he returned from his final day at the Works. “I’ll go and be a joy-ride pilot at Seal- forth. Barn a spot of cash for an occasional beano, eh? Who slid we'd make a botch of it? Not I, for one!”

“And the sea-air will do Baby any amount of good, too,” Betty agreed—and go slow, eh? I know you’re horribly worried. An appalling bounder of a man came to-day wanting umpteen ppiinds i said you’d send a cheque, but ill a hurry—a rate or something, he tried to pretend he’d been told not to leave without the cash.”

Peter felt .suddenly sick. There'd been a letter only that morning fiom the bank to remind him that his account was still severely overdrawn, and that the manager would be glad to see it placed in credit at once. All that cash gone —incredible ! No further cheques, the notice intimated, could be met-'until the matter was adjust- ed.

“Look here,” he said, conceal- ing that sick desperation, “how if we sell this warehouse, lock, stock and barrel ; yes, furniture and everything—it's miles too 'oig, anyway?”

Betty opened her eyes, alive to the desparate tone of his young voice. “Peter, jiist how do we stand?’'

she wanted to know. “Busted, just about—no use

shirking it now. Cleaned out. I didn’t want to worry you, but there’s hardly a shot in the lock- er.”

“Can’t you — raise money on the house and things?”

He reluctantly explained the working of that infernal mortgage. Betty admitted that it was a mess, and was aghast to see Pe- ter suddenly crumple up in a chair and sob. His nerves were raw and be hadn’t helped them by carry’n g an unsupported load so long.

“I could ask the pater to lend a hand,” he half-whimpered. “It would mean eating humble-pie, of course, but sooner than have you and the others starving. I’ll do that.”

“If you go to your father now, you’ll blame me for it later on; and everything’ll be phutt between us,” she stated, more con- vincingly than the slang would lead one to suppose.

“It would be off my own bat,” he countered, surprised at her tone. ’ “No, it wouldn’t.” A firm headriiake accompanied the con- tradiction. “But for me—us— you’d scratch along for yourself, wouldn’t you? So it would only be me that’d cause you to eat hum ble-pie; and you’d never forget li. It wouldn’t seem much at first, but first doesn’t last for ever. Let’s face - this together, shall we?” She snuggled her soft hand into his palm as if already prepared to accompany him to face the execution-squad. “You told him you’d win, Pete—and if you weaken you’ll give him the laugh.”

It didn’t sound heroic, but in Bettj'’s way it was. Mistakenly so, perhaps, but she had a blind instinct that she was fighting to retain her boy, who was Michael's father and her ovyn wonderful property.

“Oh, right-o ! I don’t see ju.st how, though. Things are simply too grim. “Let’s dig right down and see how we stand then not pretending anything fine’s going to happen.” They dug down and after a while both their faces were white and their eyes shorv- ed fright.

“I’ll hike off to Sealforth right-off and see if they’ll take

ATEAFOREVEKnUTE

mo on,” offered Peter. “Souij of these pilots picked up a tfnner a week, and the holiday seasen isn’r over yet.”

“Ye-es; it might be as well.” A tenner a week and hundreds and hundreds of pounds of debts lo clear up !

“How about a spot before I start? And you’ll come, too? ”

Betty bit her lip. “Suppose we start by washing out spots from now 6n?”, she recommended “We’ve spent a small fortune on “spots” since ye started together.”

“Oh, well; but there’s a half- cottle broken into; and a cocktail isn’t either here or there.”

•‘There’s what’s left of -what I won at Monte, of course,” Betty svid over the rim of her glass. “That’ll go into the heap, naturally. I’m glad it’s there—I feel I’m not such a passenger when I’m able to pull an oari” “Fraid there’s nothing of that.

You put it into my account, do you remember? It just sort of— kind of—got mixed.” Betty felt as if a lot of security had depart- ed from her at that admission; she had , comforted herself with the thought of that sheet-anchor to wind’ard, her Monte Carlo loot.

“Of course—I might ha-yp known,” she said. “You gave me money just when I asked for it.” Not even an edge of acidity to her tene! she was rising to her emer gency with a rare fineness of spirit.

“Sorry—very slack of me,” apologised Peter. He had a feeling that he wished his father could see Betty now.

“Whatever we do, we’ve got to stand on our own feet. Let’s go and see vvhat’s offering at Sealforth, then.”

They went. Peter -w'as told that if he liked to -ivork on a commission basis—a percentage on tak- ings, he could start as soon as he liked. A condition was th«t his appointment .should be pu'nlicised, since the holiday-making, world had not yet forgotten that ho was the renowned world-flier.

“You can sky-write it if yon like,” said Peter, amazingly relieved.

They went back in a more hopeful frame of mind. They resolved to' sell the car, using the proceeds to liquidate certain em- barrassments.

“'We can try to let this place furnished,” recommended Betty; but when, next day, they used the ear for a. final rally, they discovered the house-agents were pessimistic. iPeopfle weren't wantin;|

big, unhandy houses nowadays; they wanted something small, easily-run. There simply wasn’t any money about.

“How about selling the whole infernal bag o’ tricks?” asked Pe ter. The agent scented useful com mis.sions. It could, he thought, be offered at auction. Not that property cf that type was fetching anything like its proper value ; and if he remembered rightly, Peter had got it ridiculou.sly cheap.

“Sell the lot!” said Peter recklessly. Furniture and all!”

The ear had to be sold at a col- ossal loss because of the need for immediate cash ; there wouldn’t be anything left even to buy a second-hand two-seater, they thought. People felt idiotic without a car ; but Bétty thought that if they got accommodation near

The Ottawa Spotlight

A Weekly Review of National Affairs Specially Written for The Glengarry News

By Wilfrid Eggleston.

Ottawa, April 16—A three-fold J ation of certain quantity dis- progi'am for creating employ-j counts, the cessation of a number ment is being launched by the;of unfair practices in the m'arket- Bennett governihent; and it is'ing of cattle, are among the.ma- quite likely that as a result normal seasonal gains will be in creased this year. Indeed, it is quite possible that by election time there will be more people on the payrolls than we have had for dhree or four years. If so, it will be a matter for jubilation by all creeds and parties. Nothing would bring joy to the hearts of Cana- dians these days quite so much as to hear, day after day, of their fellowmen getting back to -work at decent wages.

The plans appear to call the following :

1. A $50,000,000 national hous- ing scheme, which will he aided by the federal government to the extent of $10,000,000, the re- maining money coming from in

the'jor recommendations. A clear distinction should be

diawn, of course, between the steps which the royal commission advises, and the legislation which is actually to be brought down. The Bennett government is not obligated to accept all of the sug- gestions. Indeed, it is not obligated to accept any, though of course it is a foregone conclusion that a good deal of the report will be incorporated into legislation. During the Easter recess mem

f(-r|bers of the government will de cide what to do about the mass- buying report. Five or six bills, perhaps more, will be required to express in legislative form the reforms which the government will seek to achieve. Whether a

surance, loan and mortgage com- series of federal boards, plus some panics, and from investments by private individuals.

2. A guarantee of $15,000,000 to the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways, good for two years, so that these railway' systems can purchase badly-needed railway cars and other railway equipment.

3. A new public works program, involving further work on the Trans-Oanada highway, a million dollars for grade crossing elimination, money for harbors, wharves, breakwaters etc. and for ^such public buildings as post offices.

Part of this program will he launched immediately; part wil; have to wait until the House re- sumes sitting on May 20th.

The long Easter recess was only agreed on after a spirited two- day fight by members of the Lib- eral opposition, who objected to delay in the passing of important legislation. They wanted to keep Easter recess down to a week, and then speed on the business of the House so as to eonelude the session as soon as possible. They again demanded a general election at an earl.y date, urging once more that the present government had lost the confidence and support of the people, as evidenced by the bye-elections last fall however, the government secured its five-and-a-half weeks’ Easter adjournment by a vote of 90 to 49. The Liberals couid have made more trouble by refusing to vote supply for the month of May, but, having made ,their ges ■ ture of protest ,they co-operated with the Minister of Finance in the latter regard.

“Leaks” from Mass Buying Report

Quite a rumpus was kicked up in the House about the ma,ss-buying report. F'ragments of it have been ‘leaking’ out to the press from time to time ,the culmina tion being the publication by a Toronto paper of 5,000 words of a summary a day before the report was even presented to the Minister of Trade and Commerce, and long before- members of the House of Commons had seen it. Mackenzie King complained that the privileges of parliament had been Violated ; and while the Min- ister of Justice pointed out thai the royal commission was not a parliamentary body at all, he agreed that the action taken by some unknown person or persons m letting the press have the information ‘before the membe>-s .if the house was a grave impropriety.

The summary which was- pub- lished did not contain any sensational matter, because so many guesses and predictions, based on more than a hint of what was coming, liad already been made Some of the major rpeommenda- tions have,already been indicated in thpse lettei-s. A national trade and industiq- commission, a fish- ery board, a livestock board, a standards branch of the first named commission, a branch of the labor department to study so qia] problems, greater stringency in company regulations, a 44 hour basic week, with flexible clauses for special industries, the elimin-

legislation concerning standards, hours of labor, trawler fishing, etc. will do more than skim the surface of the appalling state o affairs revealed day after day by the Stevens committee and the Kennedy commission, is doubtful Part of the federal legislation is sure to run foul of the constitu- tion, and even if it didn’t, it is certain that the supervision of a few civil servants will be inadequate to eradicate across Canada the unethical, unfair and unjust procedure which had been going on for a good many months before the mass-bluying inquiry started, and which is undoubtedly still going on to-day.

drought areas of the west was boosted through the House of Commons without a minimum of delay or obstruction. It empowers the cabinet to take such steps as it deems necssary to provide ‘for the rehabilitation of drought and soil drifting areas’ in the three prairie provinces. A maximum of $750,000 for the present year, and a million a year for the subsequent four yeais, is voted in th; bill. The plans of the Minister of Agriculture have already . been set forth briefly, and little wa.< added to them in the debate last week. Hon. Robert Weir did sav, however ,that five townships, each containing 23,040 acres, were to le set a.side .three in Saskaiche- wan, one in Alberta and one in Manitoba, as illustration and de- monstration areas, in what could be done to cope with conditions such as soil drifting. A good deal of attention will be paid to the development of grass seeds, grains and clovers, suitable for toe drought area. It is recognized that perhaps the greatest problem of all, so far as drifting is concerned, is to find some highly > csistent grass with which the soil liable to blow can be seeded down. That will stop the immediate damage lo adjoining lands, and iv'hen the grass has hetin glowing some years, it can be plowed down, thus pi-oviding a soil with fibre which -will not easily drift, upon which a crop of grain can again be grown. A certain amount of tree planting is to be attempted, and some. dams built to catch the spring run-off of water and hold it for 'stock and domestic purposes.

Michael Luchkovich, the only Ukrainian member of the House of Commons, incensed at what he deemed an unwarranted reflec- tion on the standards and morals of the Slav people in a Montreal court, brought in a private bill which would make it an offence lo reflect upon persons or groups

The Joy of Giving Those words are not written

down in any mood of sarcasm. There is such a thing as the , joy of giving. Some of us have no-t ex perienced it as often as we ought to have done. Perhaps some of us have never had any real taste of it at all. If that is true it is quite too bad, for w-e have missed source of very real satisfaction and, pleasure. '■

Much of the joy of ' giving grows out of the fact that we have an appreciation of and an enthusiasm for the things to which we are called upon to give. Perhaps you can remember even yet the thrill that you had when you sent the first bouquet of flowers to the girl of your choice many years ago. Though it may have taken about all that you had you felt, repaid many times over, for wasn’t she the finest and the best and worthy of -«II the flowers that ■ there were in the world. Wouldn’t you have been a miser- ly soul indeed if you had begrud- ged what they cost you?

If we find giving to ttie Church or to other good causes a hardship, it is probable that ei ther one of two things is the matter with us ,if not the both of them. Either we haven't much use for the causes to which wo are asked to give and have no real enthusiasm for them, or there is something like a stingy soul within our body.

Probably not many of us would admit to 'being , stingy, so if we find giving to the- Church a bothersome proposition that stiis up within us anything but plea- sant feelings, perhaps we ought to ask some questions as to how large a place it really holds in our sympathies and what use we have for it right down in our hearts.

If on examination we discover that we haven’t so much enthusiasm for the Church and its en- terprises to which we are asked 10 contribute, what is there then for us to do? Perhaps it will not do very much good just to tell

W. A, Beynon ,the Conservati-ve member for Moose Jaw, introduced a bill which would so amend the Elections Act as to provide Minister of Finance E. N for the alternative vote in the |i^hQ(jes announced yesterday in the forthconung ge_neral elections House of Commons tha,t the Go Saskatchewan only, the remain- der of Canada voting as usual. In view of the severe trimming which the Conservative party was handed in the provincial elections last year, the Liberals look upon the divide as an at tempt to improve on government hopes in that province. In the past Liberals have generally endorsed proportional representation or any other method which would ensure that the electors be fairly lepresented in the House of Com- mons, but they regard Mr. Bey- iion’s bill as a rather obvious political move, and may oppose it. Or the bill may be talked out, al tliough it is reported that in such an event the government might decide to sponsor it and put ^ it through. i

It is reported on what is apparently good authority that Col. J. L. Ralston, whose senior law part- ner, 'Hon. Walter G. Mitchell, died the other day in Montreal, nia}' have to choose very soon be tween the path of law and the path of 'politics, with the strong probability that he will decide upon the latter. At the bar he has a bright future before him; in politics he may have an even brighter one, so it will not be easy for him to make a choice. He has been mentioned as a possible lea- der of the Liberal party some day, if he stays in polities. 0

Ontario School Retorms Uryed The Ontario elementary edu-

cation survey committee in its report recommends :

Much time is spent on relative ly unimportant matter and text books should be changed with a view to the child studying alone, thereby lessening the burden on teachers.

School apd public libral-ies should be linked in one education al organization so that pupils will carry on their education after they le'hve school.

Radio should be pressed into service to provide isolated teachers with educational and entertaining programs that will keep them in touch with the outside world. , , ,

Motion pictures can be used to teacher history, nature study and geography. Schools should bo equipped' with lanterns and day- light screens and teachers should be taught to use the equipment.

Experimental schools should he êstablished to discover the poa.- sibilities of child development, both rural and urban.

In any text book revision, history books should deal with the lives of others than politicians apd war heroes.

Stress must be laid on regular meetings of school boards. A larger unit of administration would help rural schools. Boards should have more help'in selecting teachers.

Rev. and Mrs. James Hagen, of St. Columba Church, spent a portion of last week in Western On tario visiting friends.

The many friends of Mrs. Wm. Dewar who is in her 84th year, are sorry to learn of her continued illness.

Continuing his drive for lower interest rates, George Coote, U. F.A. Maeleod. .succeeded in getting through the banking and commerce committee an amendment to the interest act which would make it illegal for ai y mortgage holder to collect more than six per cent interest- on any such legal instrument. It would affect existing mortgages but not new ones. Observers are doubtful wil ether the amendment will pass the Senate, or, if it does, whether it will stand up in the courts, ihough it is generally conceded that the object is a most laudable one. Another success of George Coote’s was in getting the intei- cst rate on loans made bv insur-
