The pigs running to this self-feeder, therefore, effects of the drough are shrinking, have a chance to eat what barley or other grain j-esultiiig in smaller numbers of hogs they care for, and balance the grain part of the ra- arriving at our central markets during next tion with this “trio mixture.” This has in it those spring and fall. Pork is the first meat that the very efficient proteins, minerals and vitamins, that^j^koring man will indulge in, if and when indus-

trial conditions -right themselves, as we trust they will before many moons.

Feed in Wisconsin is relatively cheap and abun

a pig must have in order to do well in the winter when he is not on pasture.

The additon of other minerals, than salt, or iodized salt, have not been proved necessary in our.jj^jjj;^ ^bus enabling me to grow and fatten hogs at extensive experimental work here _ at Madison, ]„w cost- IwoulcI choose the grains that furnish where we depended on the tankage-linseed ineal-'al- degestible nutrients at lowest cost, and barley and falfa meal mixture in the winter, or where the pigs or brood sows -were fed some tankage on pasture in the summer. Tankage ,of course, is essentially dried and ground up lean meat with a certain amount of bone material in it which, therefore, sup- plies generous amounts of lime and phosphorus^ and other desirable minerals.

But, you may ask, why feed tankage when we have skimmilk or buttermilk? Certainly with those dairy by-products, no tankage need be fed, for any one who. is in position to feed skimmilk or even whey need not worry very much about the right kind of protein in the winter rations of pigs.

In any event, however, some leafy alfalfa or clover hay should be fed to all hogs whether grow- ing or fattening for the market, or whether they are brood sows. If this hay is of a fine-stemmed, leafy ,pea green variety, pigs will usually eat en- ough of it out of a suitable slatted rack to satisfy their vitamin requirement. But it is always a safe practice, and usually a desirable tiee, to chop up rather such legume hay

rye are right in the front rank in this list of feeds. I would make sure of having some skimmilk or

tankage or equivalent feed such as fishmeal if ' I could get it çheaply enough. I would pay parti- cular attention to having some leafy hay, prefera- bly, alfalfa hay, in the ration of all pigs and brood sows, and to see to it that they got salt and clean water as they want it. Iodine dr iodized salt would be 'of similar concern to me, but -with otherwise good rations of the kind that I have men- tioned, no other minerals would be necessary. o ^

QUALITY COUNTS IN FARM PRODUCTS

The importance which quality holds in success- ful farming is aptly presented by G- A. Langelier, D.Sc., Superintendent of the Experimental Station at Cap Rouge, Que., as follows :—

“A time was when practically any kind of prae-1 vegetables could be sold on such markets as Que-

finely, or grind, bee, Levis, Three Rivers, but it is not so now. Faei- and mix it into the ra-|iity of rail transportation has brought vegetables

tion of the fall pigs by way of the “trio mixture,”| from such far distant points as Florida and even which may be self-fed. Or if the entire ration of j Calif ornia to our doors, letting alone competition pigs is to be mixed together, it is well to feed about. from Ontario. Advantages of climate and possi- 5 per cent of ground alfalfa or clover hay in such bly of soil have more than counterbalanced freight a ration. Long experience has taught us that by doing so we can avoid stunted growth ,rickets, and other vitamin and mineral deficiency diseases. Com- puting the actual benefit from feeding alfalfa hay in a number of experiments, we found that we could; have afforded to pay as much as $80 a ton for it. In other words, if we had paid as much as $80 a ton for this leafy hay, we would have just come out even financially, as compared with not feeding it at all-

Even with skimmilk or buttermilk, therefore, which feeds are themselves low in vitamins, it is necessary to feed good, leafy legume hay, either out of a rack or mixed in the grain part of the ration. How much skimmilk to feed? Usually from 3 to 4 ‘tj^rts or, therefore, about a gallon of skimmilk Vly per pig, balances a grain ration satisfactorily. ° t«e “trio mixture” is to be hand-fed a pig dur- ng liLst of the growing and fattening period should

receive t^pm one-half to three-fourths pound per ^ay alongsi^ith the grain.

Self-feeWng pigs according to the cafeteria system,. where.the pigs choose the different feeds for themselves, i-Jig proved very efficient and econ- omical. Pigs do ax, excellent job of balancing their own. ration. You kmvv, a pig is the most food-wisè animal on the farm, sje won’t hurt hmself like a horse or cow or lamb v’i.en turned loose on a pile of gi'ain. A pig and a inuiv have something in eom- mon. Neither gets hurt verj- easily from overfeed- ing. But a pig has the edge even on a mule. A pig eats the different proportidtig of starchy ma- terial, protein, and minerals in am,nnts that are very scientifically proportioned and, that at the same time are economical. He simpljn .follows his appetite, and appetite is really a remarkably safe guide, at least its in the case of the pig.

But Ihave talked about market pigs itiostly so far. We have the really important part ofYhe hog family on the farm to consider, the brood sow.

As to feeding them, the same feeds that are fed to weanling pigs or shotes would do for them but not in such amounts as to fatten the sows un- duly. The proportions of the feeds should also be- different. This applies especially to the amount of alfalfa hay, for sows can eat considerable quan- tities of sluch leafy hay when fed to them in a rack. Where we chop the hay or grind it, we usu

and express charges. The good are generally of good quality, well graded and packed so that the wholesale dealers eagerly buy them; the retailers also ask for them, as they can be had regularly with great uniformity. How can the local grower meet such competition? By producing something that is worth selling, which means quality and ap- pearance. This is w'hy in making selections of vege- tables the Cap Rouge Station has not only looked to yield, but also to quality and appearance. Sam- ples were sent each year to leading retailers in Quebec city and valuable information was thus gained as to what was really worth while produc- ing on account of being easy to sell profitably.”— Issued by Information Service, Publications Branch, Dept, of Agriculture, Otta-w-a Ont.

INCREASING PRODUCTION

The use of males of good parentage for mating purposes with hens of proven production ability is an attractive way of increasing egg production. What may be accomplished in this direction is shown by the report of the experimental work done by the Departmental of Agricul- ture at its Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere Station, where records have been kept for several years. In 1923 fifteen birds entered in the study laid 1,854 eggs, an average production of 123.6 each. As the result of careful selection their mating with strong males egg production increased in 1929 to 3,878 eggs per pen of fifteen birds, an average of 258.5, representing an increase of over one hundred per cent in egg production in the .six years.—Issued by Information Service Publica- tions Branch, Dept of Agriculture, Ottawa, Ont.

HUGH SUBWAY GARAGE.

Detroit CXmsidering Proposal for Underground Parkiug Station.

A huge municipaîly-owned garage, to be built under tlie surface of one of the most congested streets in tiie city, is the pi'oposal now under con- sideration by the Detroit City Coun- cil as a means of relieving some of the parking problems of the down- town area. According to speciüca- tions, the great underground parking dungeon could accommodate 12,000 to 18,000 cars daily.

The place selected for the first unit of the proposed parking plan Is Cad- illac Square. It could be buiH there at a cost of |1,500,000, it is estimat- ed. This garage would not come into competition with public garages, as it would be Intended for only short time parking.

The unit would be from four to six storeys deep, and would be sunk di- rectly under the street level, and con- nected by pedestrian tunnels and stairways to the adjacent sidewalks.

The actual parking of a car in one of the underground parking lots would be simplicity itself. Coming from the stfeet along a specially con- structed driveway, the car would pro- ceed down a ramp to the reception floor, sixteen feet below the surface of the street.

At the reception floor, which is large enough to hold 40 cars, the mo- torist steps out of his automobile and is handed a ticket. The car is placed on a caterpillar type conveyer which carries it to the indicated floor auto- matically. At this point it is placed on a*tray carried by an electrically- operated transfer truck running on rails down the centre aisle of the parking floor.

When the transfer truck has re- ceived the car, it proceeds to one of the parking spaces and discharges the tray and car laterally.

IN VENEZUELAN JUNGLES.

Complete Lack of Ordinary Diversion —Black Flies Numerous.

The soft quiet of Venezuelan jun- gles for Mrs. Herbert Spencer Dickey, who has just returned from six months of exploring with her hus- band around the headwaters of the Orinoco river is not very far this side of Paradise. There is no hurry. The swift dawn and sunset alone mark the passage of time.

But in the jungle there Is a com- plete lack of ordinary diversion, civi- lized amusement. The terrific heat— so hot that river banks exposed to the sun burn through the soles of boots—makes all extraneous activity impossible. And the insects, among other things, interfere with dinner.

Mrs. Dickey says: “Usually by the time your spoon has reached your mouth, fifteen Suzzing, black flies had nose-dived into the* stew, or soup, or whatever it might be. Us- ually, too, our hands and faces were so edvered v/ith bites they looked as if they had been recently chafed with sandpaper.”

The party succeeded in going fifty miles nearer to the source of the riv- er than any other expedition. Some time was alsorispent among the Gua- haribo Indians. Dr. Dickey believes they are among the most backward and primitive of all races. They live in the stone age, without gods or clans, and with only stone and wood implements.

UEPUSKD TO LEAVE.

Contractors WÜ1 Build All Round Stubborn Tenant.

Maurice Despiant, of Paris, is a home-loving soul—a fact which he is proving ah an extraordinary way. He has, in fact, refused to vacate his sixth - flooi apartment although th€ building in which he is located has been torn down all round it.

Entrenched, behind an unbreakable lease, Lespiant, who also has ah axti- ficial flower store on the ground floor, refused a generous idemnity to evac- uate his quarters when plans were drawn up for the new structure to replace the old.

And since there was no way to conipe^ him by law to get out, the purchasers of the building have been forced to go ahead with the construc- tion. of the new building without dis- turbing Lespiant’s home. This has been accomplished by placing stilts under his apartment and building a narrow tower entrance to it. Here Lespiant remains peacefully aloof and aloft.

Conceding defeat in their efforts to oust Lespiant, the builders of the new structure now say they will build around Lespiant’s room and complete it finally when his lease has expired.

SELF-WINDING WATCHES.

Such Watches Have Often Been Made —Many Still In Use.

Napoleon Bonaparte always carried a watch that wound itself, and so sa-ved him the trouble of using a key. Such watches 'have often been made since his day, some by well-known makers, and many are still in use.

We may well ask how any watch can wind itself, for such a thing seems to savor of perpetual motion, but the matter is really vpry simple. The self-winding watch ig built on the principle of the pedometer. A weighted lever is kept in its normal position by a curved spring, so weak that the ordinary motion of the body, as in walking, causes the lever to fall. The spring then returns it, and so an oscillating motion is kept up, which, by means of ratchet wheels, winds the spring a little at a time. sufl3cient to keep the watch going when the wearer is still. Every step helps to wind the watch.

In these days self-winding watches are not much in demand.

KEEK AiaOlS SAFE B\TflRY PRECAUTION TAKEN AT

ENGLISH AIRDROME.

Croydon Has Wonderful Map That Finds Airplanes That HAve Lost Their Way—Xlie Watcher on the Balcony.

High above the surrounding build- ings, and overlooking the airdrome, stands the Croydon cc ntrol tower. It is to the air-liner what the lighthouse is to the ship at sea, says a writer in Answers. Prom it messages are sent giving weather reports, and, in emer- gency, the actual bearings of an air- plane lost in fog. To it come regular reports from the air-liners as they approach the Channel and airdrome.

As the huge engines of the waiting air-liner are tuned up for the last time by mechar^ics, the pilot gives his name, particulars of the machine, and destination, to a ground officer. Meanwhile the control officer is watching from his vantag:e point. If the airdrome is clear of all traffic, a red disc is hung over the side of the balcony.

This signal means that the air- liner can be taxied out on to the air- drome. With a roar the giant silver plane jolts slowly over the turf, turns into the wind, and stops. The pilot is waiting for the “Right Away” sig- nal from the control tower. He looks back and sees a bright light focused at him. That is the final signal from the tower preceding every flight from Croydo.i Airdrome.

Without it no airdrome is allowed to leave; but in exceptional cases, when the wind is favorable, both sig- nals—the disc and searchlight—are given together, and the take-off Is made from the wide, paved surface adjoining the sheds.

Once in the air, it Is the duty of the pilot to inform the control officer of his destination, and when he reaches the Channel to give the route he is taking for the crossing.

All these particulars are entered in a log, and messages that come on the wireless are kept until the sender re- turns to Croydon.

At the top of the tower, next to the control officer’s room, are two wireless operators, whose duty it is to pick up and send messages lo the pilots on their journeys. As the mes- sages come in, they are \t*riuen out on forms resembling telegrams, the number of the machine and its des- tination at the top, and the remarks beneath. These forms are pushed through a hatch to the control offi- cer and entered in the log.

In the centre of the room is a gi- gantic map of all the countries over which the air-liners travel. At the side are a number of pins to which are attached flags of different colors. Blue for British machines, red for Dutch, white for Pieiich, and so on. When the machine has left Croydon a flag i*epresenting it is stuck in the map at the place from which the last message was sent.

Thus, at a glance, it is possible to see where every air-liner leaving or approaching Croydon is at any par- ticular moment. Once across the Channel it is really the duty of the control tower at Paris to mark its map; but Croydon still retains an in- terest in the machine, and not until the landing message is received is the flag removed from the map.

Without this check on machines it would be impossible to tell the posi- tions of machines, and in the event of a crash help might be delayed.

Close by is a similar map covered with glass, in which are punctured three holes—one at Croydon, anoth- er at Lympne, and one at a station in Norfolk. Through each hole is a piece of thread attached to a weight.

When, in the winter, an alr-Uner loses its way in the fog and cannot see the gi'ound to find its bearings, it sends a wirei^ message to Croydon explaining thé difficulty. Immediately Croydon informs the other two sta- tions and asks the pilot of the air- liner to nin his wireless aynamo at full speed.

A weird screech of intense power results, and the three stations tune this in, noting at the same time the marks on the dial of the tunlng-in maphine. These numbers are sent to Croydon, where the threads with their weights are pulled out and stretched to corresponding numbers on the margin of the map.

Whatever the position of the ma- chine, the three threads cross and form a triangle, and the position of the machine is within the three sides of the thread. All this Is done under two minutes, so an .exact bearing can be given to the pilot.

There is no other map similar to this in the world, and it is due to it that the safety of air travel to and from Britain is maintained. Occa- sionally a wireless amateur may hear the tuning-in note, but it will be by accident, because a wave - length of 900 metres is reserved for airplane wireless.

Patrolling the balcony of the con- trol tower night and day is a watch- er who reports machines approaching or waiting to leave to the control of- ficer. As the air-liners come in tliey must circle the airdrome once and then land. A machine flying round to laikd takes precedence, of one wait- ing to take off; thus there is no con- fusion, and the possibility of colli- sions or accidents in trying to avoid them is eliminated.

In Memory of Bliss Oannan. On the sv/eep of a hillside over-

looking the Saint John river valley a shaft of New Brunswick granite was unveiled recently to the memory of Bliss Carman. Here Carman lived as a boy; the spirit of the river and the valley is infused in the poetry through which he expressed his per- ception of life, and to the family plot on which the ofcrine was unveiled to- day his ashes were returned after death.

The memorial follows closely Car- man’s own ideas of a monument. It stands eight feet high, cut in gothic manner, with a kneeling-bench and open book joined to the base.

GENERALLY speaking, a business man is averse to having his stationery changed from the accepted form. For ten, twenty, or more years it has conformed to a rigid standard, and usually, he feels it should he kept so.

But consider this: K the business itself was con- ducted on a basis of 1910 merchandising policies would the customers of 1930 patronize that business?

Business stationery and printed forms are an integral ppxt of every going concern. "When a cus- tomer or business associate reads a message or in- voice from an indifferently printed or constructed piece of stationery the impression is not good.

Of Interest to Women MAKING THE MOST OF HOME RESOURCES

THE best definition I have ever heard for “home” is the one given by a western woman who has been honored for her ability to make a good home. Her definition is this, “Home is a well org’anized unit for the comfort, the relaxation, the healthful and true living of a family.” Add to her definition this, “Home is a training school for men and women” and you have everything any home needs to be.”

The quality of home depends not upon elegant furniture or modern plumbing—though these are all well and good in their places—but upon the standards on which the'home life is built and the ideals toward which it is aiming.

Some of the great moments that make life beautiful are found in good music. We believe the rudiments of music should be taught to every child and that he should be able to play some instru- ment. We all enjoy listening to good music by trained musicians, but we get even more pleasure out of the simple things we play and sing ourselves. A home orchestra may easily start with someone who can play the piano, and with a mouthharp and drum will be the beginning of some lovely evenings at home. A supernntendent of schools in Minnea- polis said, “Mother at the piano and sister and bro- ther with a violin and saxaphone is one of the sur- est protections. I know against a wasted life.”

Qheckers, dominoes, jig-saw puzzles, riddles, guessing games, charades, singing games, amateur dramatics are all to be enjoyed by any family. A large family we know comes together for dinner on Thanksgiving. The day is never complete _ without some games, charades, and a Virginia reel in which all the family take part. Down the long livingroora are ranged two lines of partners—grandmothers, parents, the girls home from college ,the high school folks, little boy’s and girls— everybody from four-year-old .Jean up to 85-year-old grandma—and they swing and bow and promenade to the music made by Unele Fred’s mouth-harp and Aunt Helen at the piano-

Home should furnish opportunity for social development. It is the place where the budding' talent is discovered and encouraged to grow into^ a wonderful gift, or at least into one that is a source of gratification to its owner. Little hands that make mud pies or draw pictures or carve, or sew, or cook or take things apart to see how they run, or make music, and little minds that express them- selves in rhyme and song all have a right to expect encouragement in their own homes.

The Millets, the Tennysons, the Kreislers, the Melbas do not spring full-talented from maturity. Back in childhood there was a little boy who could draw, one who could write lovely words one whose fingers itched to hold a violin, and a little girl who sang little songs. There was also,in each ease, some wise person who recognized these abilities, and without whose encouragement the world might never have enjoyed these marvelous gifts.

Honesty, courtesy, unselfishness, good sports- manship, gratitude ,optimism are all going to be perfectly natural to the child who observes them in Use in his own home and who is himself the reci- pient of them. If in his home there is ease of ad- justment to changing conditions and the ability to meet cheerfully the things a family must do, he is not going to throw fits over the sacrifices and self- denial for which maturity may ask him. If he has spread before him the pattern of high standards of conduct and fine ideals for the future, and learns that a useful life is expected to grow up out of it, he will want to use the pattern.

Ibsen says, “So to conduct one’s life as tc real- ize oneself, this seems to nie to be the highest attain- ment possible to a human being.”

So to conduct our homes as to help our chil- dren to realize the best out of themselves, this is also the highest attainment possible to a home. — Extracts from an address given by Mrs. Helen Her- bage before American Country Life Conference. o

NEW WAY OF PREPARING AN OLD FOOD

SEX IN BUYING

Toronto men demand Canadian products ; Tor- onto women buy what suits them. These are con- clusions arrived at by The Toronto Mail and Em- pire following an enquiry among salesmen? sales- women ,heads of departments ,merchandising mana- gers and proprietors of neighborhood stores. Those intedviewed made such statements as these: '

Many men ask to be shown only Canadian goods.

Five times as many men as women ask for Canadian shoes.

Men like a Canadian label on their clothes. It is only the occasional woman who asks where

things are made. Women buy the stock for the cupboard and

table, but seldom do they insist upon Canadian grown and manufactured goods.

Not once in a blue moon do women ask for Canadian stockings.

Thus it would seem to be indicated that adver- tising’s job, namely, making women advertisement- conscious and brand selective, has by no means been fully done in Canada, and the Minister of Trade and Commerce needs to extend the present effort to the other 50% of the population found in the town and countryside. Furthermore, advertisements need a greater appeal to women. o

GUESTS SURPRISES

The other night I had a guest for supper and what do you suppose was the piece de resistance for that supper meal? Nothing more or less than corn meal mu.sh and eggs. That doesn’t seem like anything to write about, but—“Why, how are you making your mush?” inquired my friend.

“Didn’t you ever make mush this way?” I an- swered her question in true Yankee fashion.

“No, I never did,” she replied. This is how I was making it. For four people

Itook two cupfuls of corn meal (yellow, of course. 1 I put this into my mixing bowl and added one tea- spoonful of salt- I poured boiling water over this and stirred it until it was of the consistency of mush which has been cookeed for frying. It should be a bit stiff. ,

I put some fryings into the frying pan and let it get piping hot. and then put the mush into the pan a tablespoonful at a time. I used the pancake turner to pat the mush into flat cakes. This should be dipped, into tbe pan and have grease on the bot- tim and then the mush will not stick to it.

I fried the mu.sh about 15 minutes. At first I fried it over the hot part of the stove and then when it started to brown I pushed it toward the back of the stove and let it fry slowly. It need not be covered.

With fried eggs this makes a very good supper dish on a cod night. We do not use corn meal in the hot months. It is very heating and is not so very good for us then. But it is fine in wintertime.

A very satisfactory dessert to complete this meal is fruit and cake or cookies. In winter we have canned fruit and almost any kind is satisfactory. The fruit counteracts the effects of the corn meal whicb is a heavy food.

“Well, said my friend.” I can see where Fred will get enough corn meal mush from now on. He is so fond of it. but there are only two of us so it seems lots of bother to first boil the mush and then fry it.This way it is no trouble at all and the finished product tastes better, besides.’ ’

“Just another instance of never being too old to learn,” .she ended.—Grace Baertsch.

By Betty Barclay Why not try new foods occasionally? You will

be surprised at the flavors you will discover and at the delight you will give your guests. Arehichokes are quite common upon California tables but the following dainties will be real surprise dishes to many in the east.

Steamed Artichokes Wash artichokes thoroughly and cut off the

stems. Place them compactly in a pot and sprinkle with onios, parsley, and ham, (which has been chop- ped very fine.) Steam slowly until tender, about forty minutes, without removing the lid. Serve with dravm butter. Hollandaise sauce, or what- ever sauce may be desired.

AHichoke and Onion Salad Boil the artichokes until tended. When cold cut

them into halves. Discard the cone of immature leaves and the”fuzzy base on which it rests, just above the tender heart. Sprinkle the centers with finely chopped raw onion and finely chopped par- sley. Pour over them a French dressing.

Cinnamon Apples One'junket tablet, 6 medium sized apples, l^cup

sugar, 1-2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 pint milk, 3 table spoons red cinnamon candies, 1 tablespoon lemon juice.

Peel and core apples and place in baking pan. Make a syrup by boiling the sugar (except 3 ta- blespoons which is used for the junket), water and cinnamon candies together for Sminutes ; add le- mon juice. Pour syrup over apples and bake until tender .basting several times- Place apples in in- dividual dishes, filling the center of each apple with syrup. iWhen cooled, and the syrup has jel- lied, prepare junket according to directions on package and fill dishes. Let stand in a warm room until firm. Then chill.

THE EAGLE Unlike the Vnltnre It Relnses to Eat

Any But Fresh Meat—Have 'Hilnl Eyelid,

“There is an o^d'-saying that the eagle can look straight at the sun, yet suffer no discomfort,” says Seton Gordon, F.Z.S., in the Pageant of Nature, “and on the wildest days amongst the high hills, when the gale whistles through the corries, when on the anas of the storm snow is whirled in Minding flakes, the eagje is abroad. Seeming to revel in his battle with the elesneats he shoots in the teeth of the Mtssard, when the mere nuH'tal, fighting his way ste^ by step, most needs keep his eyes averted from the blinding snow. . . One day when photo- graphing a tall>grown ea^et in its eyrie, I made an interesting discov- ery. Every new and then the eaglet drew across its eye a curious semi- opaque film, and more by good lack than anyth^g else, I was fortunate enough to obtain a photograph show- ; ing this film, or third eyelid, as It is called.”

The scientific name for it Is tbe “nictitating membrane.” Through it the eagle can look unblinklngly at the sun. The Golden Eagle is one of several varieties. It is found in Scotland and Ireland, bat is extinct in England. It is also found in Eu- rope, Asia, Africa and America. It derives its name from the golden red feathers covering its head and neck. Not long ago there were Golden Eagles in Mnskoka, but the maniacs whose special mania is the extermin- ation of rare birds and animals, killed the last one soiue years ago.

The eagle loves to build high, the high rocky ledges of mountains be- ing a favorite spot. Here it lays its eggs and rears its young, and watches for prey. Its favorite food is small animals, fish, birds, etc. They are not averse to grabbing a lamb, and even small children have been attacked, but only when other game is very scarce. Such cases are ex- tremely rare. The hunting eagle Is usually assisted by its mate. They paij- for life, but one •will take an- other mate if the other dies. To- gether they set up their home and raise their eagles, and are very fond of their young, the poet expressing this in the line;

“As films the mother eaglets eye when her bruised eagles breathes.”

The film referred to Is no doubt the third eyelid described, and which is used more frequently uadfM- emo- tion.

In killing its prey, the eagle uses its long sharp talons rather than its beak. It drives them- deep Into the body of its victim, striking the vitals. Unlike the vulture it refuses to eat any but fresh meat. It is fond of fish, and catches them, but it i^ows great skill in getting them away from the other ftabing birds. Eagles in captivity will kill and eat eats. One that was caught young in Scotland, and tamed, would slaughter every cat she could find. Once a sickly chick- en was given her, but she refused to kill it. Instead, she took it under her wing and adopted it, protecting it fiercely from anyejne who attempt- ed to take it away.

There are several kinds of eagle, each varying a little in appearance and habits. The Imperial, Martial, Sea, Bold, Bald or Whiteheaîded, Har- py, and Brazilian varieties all flour- ish. They are all carnivorous, flesh- eating, nearly all occupy high points of tree or rock. All have the hooked beak and strong wings and talons, and they all have a dignity of bear- ing that has made them emblems of valor, freedom, etc. No higher praise could be given a warrior of the ancient empires than to liken him to this famous bird.

CANDIED ORANGE PEEL

Put peel from eight oranges in cold -:vater ; heat to boiling point and cook gently ,nntil very tender. Drain ; put in cold water ,and, when cold, remove membrane and soft portion. Boil one cup sugar and one-half cup water until syrup spins a thread; put in peel, and cook gently, until sprup is evapor- ated and peel looks clear. Drain on wire cake cooler, and leave in open air until thoroughly dry. Store, and use as required in cakes and puddings.

Candied lemon peel may be prepared in the same way.

Indignant old lady : “Didn’t you tell me that you had got as many as twelve eggs in one'day from those six hens that you sold me?” Poultry farmer: “ Idid, ma’am”. Old lady: “Then why is it that I’m never able to get more than 2 eggs from them, and sometimes not so many in one day?” Poultry far- mer; “That I can’t tell you ma’am .unless it’s be- cause you look for eggs too often. If you look for them only once a week yon may get as many eggs in one day as I did ” ' ^0

Nearly All the Letters Picture the Month In Speech.

When a man first began to -write, the forms he made were In imitation of the shape of the mouth in speak- ing. This theory has been advanced by Sir Richard Paget, an authority on speech.

When the various alphabets of the world are examined. Sir Richard ex- plalnedj the symbols for M almost in- variably represent two closed lips which is the position of the month in pronouncing that letter. B ^se shows the two closed lips in profile. In the English alphabet nearly all the let- ters thus picture the mouth in speech. The letter A, formerly writ- ten on its Bide, represents an open mouth, the letter O, the rounJed mouth necessary for pronouncing that letter.

The upright letter I with the dot oVer it represents the raised tongue not quite touching the palate. In the letters L and T the contact of the tongue with the palate Is actual- ly made. Though these letters sound so different, they are made by the tongue in very much the same posi- tion. And the symbol L is almost the same as a T inverted.

WILL ABOLISH GEAR SHIFTS.

Inventor Says Mechanism Has Proven Practical In Severs Tests. !

A new device, applicable to the driving mechanism of all automo- biles, which will, it is claimed, en- tirely eliminate gear shifting, has been granted a patent. The inventor is a engineer in Cincinnati, O., and he asserts that the mechanism has undergone tests and proven practical.

According to the inventor, a car equipped with the device will start in low gear and automatically shift to high. While on a steep hill, sandy or muddy road, ' it will automatically shift to low sufflcieutly to drive the car. It is only necessary to throw in the clutch to set the car in motion and the driver needs pay no atten- tion whatsoever to the gears.

The device is to receive attention at the testing laboratories of one of the large automobile manufacturers, it is said, and claims made for it put to rigorous test.

The Bigger and Finer 1931 Chevrolet

W

New models of the Che-vrolet, now on display throughout Canada, show many improvements and refinements. Above is the beautiful sport sedan, with radiator grille and cowl lamps and six ■wire wheels. The circle in the center gives an idea of the extensively changed front end design of the entire 1931 line. The arched tie-bar of chrome

nickel and the horn mounted beneath the left head- lamp are characteristic. Wheelbase of the 1931 Chevrolet is longer and all the interiors are roomier. This is shown in the lower picture, which reveals the space in the driving compartment, and also indicates the clear vision provided. Prices of 1931 Chevrolet are lower even than those for 1939.

ASK YOURSELF

is IT?

When you ask for a certain line of goods, a line which

you have seen advertised in newspapers—and you are told

“Here is something just as good and cheaper,” it is time

to do some thinking. If there is more profit in selling

goods not advertised, and yon are buying at a saving,

there must be something wrong somewhere—and usually

that is loss of quality—something left out that is THERE

in tne advertised commodity you originally asked for.

It is well to remember that a maufacturer invests his

good dollars in advertising space because he knows his

product is right. The fact that he advertises in news-

papers so that “he who runs may read” is evidence that he

knows his claims are right, and that he is ready to stand

behind his merchandise and the stores that sell it.

Ask for and get nationally advertised goods.

Mr. McDonald who was a son of the late Mr and Mrs Thomas McDonald, was born at Glen Norman, where he resid- ed until a few years ago when he re- moved to Detroit, Mich. The Mc- Donald homestead, 26-8th Lancaster, was originally issued to his predeces-: sors by the Crown.

He married Annie McDonell, daugh- ter of the late A. C. McDonell of Glen Nevis who predeceased him some years ago. He is survived by three daugh- ters, all resident in Detroit and one sister.

Mr. Macdonald, after receiving his primary education, attended the Je- suit College in Montreal and on gradu- ating entered the eiiiploy of the Bank of Montreal, at Ottawa, where he ser- ved for several years before being moved to Toronto. '

"While the late Hon. D. A. Macdon- ald was Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, Mr. Bruce Macdondld filled, very acceptably, the position of assis- tant secretary for a period. He also held several positions in the Provin- cial Government under six Premiers before he retired some years ago.

The funeral was held from the home of his nephew^ Prank A. Harrison, 130 Forest Hill Road, to Holy Eos ary Church, Saturday morning.

Interment was made in Beechwood Cemetery. Many friends and relatives were in attendance and the floral offerings were numerous.

Our citize,ns generally will learn of her passing with keen regret as during her residence in Alexandria, while Mr. Martin was manager of the old Bank

riof Ottawa, this estimable lady had en- deared herself to many. Sh]h took an active interest in -the church organiza- tions of the Presbyterian Church now the United Church, for some three years being president of the Women’s Missionary Society.

Besides her husband she is survived by three sons, George, RJobert and Arthur, all of Ottawa, to whom we ex- tend warm sympathy.

Township of Lancaster hominalion Meeting

More than 100 ratepayers attended the Nomination meeting held on Mon- day 29th inst. at No-rth Lancaster, to nominate candidates for the ensuing year and hear the old Council give aa account of their stewardship for the past year. The following nominations were received by the Clerk and Re- turning Officer.

For Reeve—John D. McDonald. Roderick J. McDonald and James A. Sangster, M.P.P.

i’or Deputy Reeve—Roderick A. McLeod, Alex. D. McPherson and Don- ald A. McKinnon.

For. Councillors—William J. Major, Alex. D. McPherson, Arthur Secours. Napoleon Trottier, Allan A. McDon- ald, D(onald J. M’cLennan, John F. McRae, and Donald A. McKinnon.

Following the close of nominations, the Clerk, Mr. Arch’d. J. Macdonald, was selected as Chairman of the Rate- payers meeting and at the request of the Council and consent of these gen- tlemen, he gave u brief analysis of the financial operations for thé year. This indicated that ‘the Tax Roll for the year amounted to $71500.28 o^ which $56,312.66 represented Fixed Charges for Schools, Debentures and County Rates leaving a balance of $15,247.62 available for ordinary Township pur- poses, Attention was also directed to the fact that of each dollar of taxes levied, 49.2 cents went to pay for township, County and Provincial roa<^s. 35.3 cents for schools, 10 cents for general County purposes and 5.50 cents for general Township purposes.

Mr. John D. McDonald, Reeve, de- voted some time to a consideration of County matters and reminded his hear- ers that the levy for Provincial roads would have been higher, had not the Counties, for the first time, borrowed by way of debentures the sum of $50,000.00 for a term of 10 years tu pay a portion of the Provincial levy for (the present year.

Mr. McLeod, Deputy Reeve, review- ed the operations of the Council for the past year as well as the work of the County Cou.neil. He expressed some dissatisfaction with the road con.struetion in the 8th. Concession and appealed to the ratepayers to take more interest in the local operations and thereby permit the Council to cheek -and remedy in due course an-} undertaking that might not be carried out to the satisfaction of all concern- ed.

Messrs. McPherson, Secours aufi, Trottior, members of 1930 Oouneil covered much of the same ground as the Reeve and Deputy. Messrs. Se- cours and Trottier speaking briefly in French as well as English.

Mr. John F. McRae favored the an. dience with ,a well delivered talk on taxes and ■ taxation. Mr. Rod. J. McDonald also contributed some valuable thoughts for the consideration of the ratepayers, and suggested that a sufficient interest

; be taken by them to register their “kicks’ at tlie Council meetings and at Nomination meetings, rather than at the Cheese Factory.

Mr. McKinnon did no't feel that b'O was in a position to criticise the fin- ancial operati|ons of the outgoing Council as he had had no time to study and analyse t'he annual statement.

Mr. James A. Sangster, M.P.P. stat- ed that he had used his best endeavors to convince the Provincial Government that they shpuld assume the total cost of Provincial Highways and that he was prepared to continue to advocate ,this:^s well as any other matter that WPîiîd-;hiye a tendency to relieve tke butdeB-qf jta^ation. bn -the farmers. • The- meeting clokad . with, .the 'sing- ing of the National.

AUTO OF TO-MORROW BIUnSH MANUFACTURER CRITI-

CIZKS DESIGN.

Present Day Car Will Appear as Ob- solete as Do the Vehicles of 1909 to the Motorist of To-day—Gear- set Changes.

The automobile of 1940 will be as radically different In design that. In comimrison, the presort day car ■will appear as obsolete as do the vehicles of 1900 to the motorist of to-day. This was the prophecy made by Sir Herbert Austin, noted English auto- mobile manufacturer, in a recent ad- dress before the British Institute of Automobile Engineers in London.

The work of the automobile de- signer would seem to no long^ re- quire any inventive genius, the fam- ous car maker asserted, because the car industry has arrived at the place where finality is in sight, due to the fact that standardization has too firm a grip upon the car makers for them to break away and bring forth any radical ^ange except in the appear- ance of ears. But if one manufacturer evolves a machine which, although strikingly different, is met with a measure of public approval, it will herald in the type of car of to- morrow.

The exigencies of manufacture, particularly since the great war, have controlled progress of design more than any other single factor. Sir Her- bert claimed, although the great im- provement in highways has also con- tributed to retarding the progress. This last factor has held back study in individual wheel suspension, a niôst important factor in the pro- gress of automobile design.

The following excerpts from Sir Herbert’s speech present his opinion on the trends of the automobile in- dustry within the next few years and the ones which will point the way to .the car of to-morrow:

“The principal defect on all pas- senger cars is the position of the rear seat over, and often behind, the rear axle, where the occupants are sub- jected to considerable discomfort that would be avoided if the seats were ’more in the centre of the car, be- tween the axles. Fashion, in the de- mand for an enormously long hood, altogether out of proportion to the rest of the ear, keeps pushing the [rear seat further behind the rear axle.

“Front-wheel drive admits of a lower chassis and overall height of body, which might become a very important matter if much lower bod- ies were to be the fashion.

“The same facilities are, however, obtained by placing the engine at the back and this gets rid of a certain amount of difficulties caused by taking the drive through the steering knuckles. It also retains the advan- tage of taking the drive through the rear wheels, which must always have a better tractive adhesion than the front wheels, especially when ascend- ing a hill or getting away from rest.

“Attempts to popularize automatic changing of gears have not had much success up to the present and it is difficult to believe that the extra com- plication involved can be justified ex- cept in a minority of buyers. A well- designed, well-made, simple type of hand-lever change speed will, I am confident, survive for the majority. While I would hate to discourage In- vestigations into infinitely variole gear-boxes, 1 have no knowledge of any design which has any hopes of success.

“More or less silent seconds or thirds are receiving a lot of atten- tion, but there is a point worthy of notice in this type of box—a careless driver may cause considerable dam- age to his engine when running on the silent third without realizing the excessive speed of the engine.

“Suspension is the part of the road vehicles which has made least pro- gress.

“I have for years been convinced that all road vehicles, passenger and freight, are unnecessarily heavy. Apart from the first cost of surplus material which has to be paid for, there is, on the score of economical running, much to be gained by re- ducing weight.

“It is time we recognized that there is no logical reason why we should bave two frames, one for the chassis and one for the body, which never operate happily or effectively together.

**There has been little real pro- gress in chassis design of late years in the direction of weight reduction.

“In the last year or two there has been an insistent demand to lower the total height of the car, and this demand has been acceded to by low- ering the roof until it is a positive discomfort to sit in some cars and a real danger when going over a bumpy road.

“The front-wheel brake has made a big difference to the safety of the making use of the front-wheel ad- hesion to stop the car. It has added weight where it is, unfortunately, a serious disadvantage, causing to a large extent the ‘tramping’ and ‘shimmying’ of the wheels with low- pressure tires.

The reduction of wind resistance by streamlining U receiving more attention and progress in this direc- tion is being demanded on the score of more economical running, as well as Increased speed; but it would be unwise, and it is unnecessary, ip a practical sense, to go beyond the point where it would interfere with the comfort of the occupants, such as ejccessively sloped windshields, difficult entry or exit and cramped vision,

Sons of the Soil! No election campaign is without

its funny side. Amongst the candi- dates put forward by the Farmers’ Party in the recent Norwegian elec- tions were a newspaper editor, a cur- ate, two barristers, and a midwife.

Live by “Alimony.” Something like 2,000,000 Amer-

ican women are being supported by alimony,, which is paid by the hus- bands they have divorced, the total annual amount probably exceeding $760,000.000.

BRAZIL’S MODRÉNliTŸ RIO DK JANEIRO A VISION OF

AAIAEING BEAUTY.

Rio Has Been Samptuonsly Laid Ont With Costly Edifices, Parks and Gardens—Peopled by a Very Mix- ed Race—Very Clean.

Imagine yourself on deck, ap- proaching the entrance to Rio harbor, with everyone on the lookout for the first glimpse of the wonder city. Rugged mountain ranges gradually appear iu the distance, with sharp peaks forming a jagged ridge, writes Major Newman in the Blue Peter. As minutes pass, the scene becomes more and more weird, and strange-iooking hills and rocks loom into view. Some- how it seems impossible that a land Qo wild and rugged should enfold a great modem city.

A faint film of mist hangs over the distant hills. Nearer and nearer comes the ship to the rock coast. There is a thrill of expectation as she alters her course, seeming to make straight for disaster.

Suddenly in the great rocks ap- pears an opening, and the ship swings round the northeast corner of the bay. The scene is transformed. The rocky foreground, with its dark col- oring, slowly slips aside and reveals a vision of amazing beauty.

To the left stands the great rock, the “Sugar Loaf,” with its rope rail- way sinng in mid-air. Behind is the crooked peak of the COrcovado and other mountains, their slopes cover- ed with bright green vegetation, standing up against the deep blue sky.

Below them lies the city of Rio it- self, with its many hills, gaily-colored building.s, giant palm trees and spa- cious avenues. In the foreground is the harbor with countless islands and bays and, dotted along the water's edge, bright-looking suburbs basking Lii the morning sun.

Once ashore and through the cus- toms, we get into a motor and whirr, along the Avenida Rio Branco, a straight avenue of imposing buildings and fascinating shops which leads from thé quay right through the heart of the city to the great circular bay of Botofogo on the other ^ide. People of every nationality throng the pavements, which have strange patterns of fantastic mosaics.

Some say it is difficult to walk straight on the pavements of Rio, so much do these patterns zig-zag and curve in their grotesque designs. Not a horse is to be seen in the streets. All 'the wagons and carts are drawn by mules. Luxurious motors move backwards and forwards- at an alarm- ing pace, while the taxi-drivers on the ranks blow their horns in chorus with hideous discordance. The noise is terrific, and petrol vapor blends with stranger smells.

The shopà are a blaze of color, and costly jewellery figures prominently in the windows. Luxury strikes the eye at every turn. The main streets are equal to the finest thoroughfares in Europe. , Our hotel proves to be very up-to-date, and is run on Euro- pean lines. A band in the hall is playing Brazilian dance music as we are carried up in the lift to the din- ing room on the top floor. The view of the harbor is magnificent, ana the sun streams through the great French windows.

Outside of a roof garden, which in the evening !is a popular resort for a smoke and the after-dinner cup of Brazilian coffee. By night, Rio Is a blaze of light; the avenues are lit up and the public buildings are all out- lined in electric lights; the harbor is a mass of twinkling lights, and the city looks like a vast exhibition. The glare can be seen far oiit at sea. Life is Incessant. Restaurants, cafes and plaqes of amusement never seem to close their doors.

Most of the British residents live on the other side of the harbor, at the town of Nichteroy or its adjoin- ing suburbs, and go to business every day in the paddle ferry plying bet- tween Nichteroy and Rio. Although Rio is the federal capital of Brazil. Nichteroy is the capital of the State of Rio de Janeiro.

The Brazilians are a very mixed race,, and it is almost impossible to describe the Characteristics of a type- cai Brazilian. In Brazil, whites, ne- groes and half-castes all enjoy the same privileges, and are all equal citizens of the republic. The nucleus of the population, however, is Portu- guese, and Portuguese is the lan- guage of the country.

Rio is essentially composed of peo- ple who want to get rich quickly, apd a veiy fair percentage succeed in their object. It is a common thing for Portuguese from Lisbon to mi- grate to Rio and to return after about ten years rich enough to re- tire from, business. Many of the taxi- drivers are Portuguese, and by own- ing their own cars, these men make quite a lot of money in a compara- tively short time.

Gambling is a favorite pastime amongst the Brazilians, who will sit up night after night in the Jockey or Derby Clubs playing chemin de fer or baccarat. Thev are 'also passion- ately devoted to dancing, as are near- ly all South American peoples. But what is most astonishing is the de- light which these people take in foot- ball, even in the hottest weather, and nearly every village in the state has its local football club. Sea-bathing is also much indulged in, and the bath- ing-places of Rio have every contriv- ance for aquatic sports.

Rowing is very popular, and there are any number of rowing clubs and numerous regattas. But it must not be imagined that there is always ^alm weather in the harbor. I have ?een -it so rough that the great At- lantic breakers were lashing right over the Avenida Beira-Mar. the mag- 'lificent bay-side drive, with its doii- ole motor ; track and intervening awns and gardens.

In recent years a great trans- ormation has taken place in Rio, and \n ambitious program of municipal ‘uprovements has nearly been com- •teted. Not,so many years ago the nty was a badly-built network of dir- •:y, narrow streets, but the Brazilian 'rovernment has spared no efforts in trying to clean It up.

To Mr.jerguson By C. B. Pyper in Winnipeg Tribune

If I were on familiar terms with Hon. G. Howard Fergitson, premier of Ontario. I should write him a letter. It would run like this:

Dear Howard—‘CongratulationSj old scout, and how the devil are you? It's a long time since I heard from you and I suppose yo'u'll be thinking it's a long time since you heard from me. The fact is" I've been very busy and all through others lately, what with one thing and another, and I suppose you’ve been the same. Anyhow, I just had to write and let you know how glad I was to hear of your new job.

I knew you would get it. I knew you were the man for it. As soon as I heard that job was going I said it should be given to you. Yooi' ask Ben- nett; he’ll tell you. ‘^R.B.„ I said, ‘‘that's a big job over in London and you'll need a big man for it. Ho-w- ard's your man. He can handle it. If you can only persuade him to give up tlie premiership of Ontario ,he '11 fill the bill Don’t make any mistake about it; Howard's your choice"

Bennett agreed at once. “You're right," he said, “Howard’s the man. I think he '11 take it all right Lon- don's the place for him He wants scope. That’s what Howard needs, a bit of scope I’ll ask him at once'\

That's why I’m so glad to hear you’ve taken it, because I was the first to mention your name ’ to Ben- nett. I wanted to see you in it, and I w^ant to see you make good in it. You remember I was always sure from th? first that you’d make good. ■

That's why I’m writing now, to tell you I want you to make good and that I’m sure you can do it.. If anyone can do it you can. You ask R.B.; I told him. I've been reading your speeches in tire papers and I see you've got the hang of it. You know all right that this is a pretty big job You can. see it's the job for you.

I just want to give you one little bit of advice, because I'm anxious to see you make a big success. Be careful You know what I mean. Be carefu:. | Be very careful. j

Yo'U remember that Englishman you liad helping you on the farm, if you had a farm you remémber the "Way hej used to get your goat by telling you I how to run the place. You, that had been running the place and had learn- ed how to run it from your ancestors away back, and telling you how to run it. Gosh, I *had to laugh, but it made you sore at the time.

Well ,that's what I mean. You see, don't you? I see you’re going to tell them over there where they've made mistakes with the dole and cutting up estates and socialism and all that, and I don’t say you’re not right, but I ask you to be careful. You see, you never know; those birds may be touchy. They may get sore.

« « « You don’t want ,that, you know. Not

to begin with. It wouldn't help yoi: any. Some of those birds might say something that wouldn’t sound well You know how these things happen; some people can never take advice.

It's not Thomas I'm thinking of so much, because ho one minds muc> what Jimmie says. He'll say thing huipbug and shake hands after it as cordial as you like. You can always get away with him

But there's Lloyd George. He's different. He's diplomatic. He won't come out and say anything so blunt as Thomas. He'll put is in a nice way. But once he gets after you in a nice way^ he ’ll make you look foolish. Watch that guy. He may not know much about politics, but 'he certainly does know how to make p;ÇO pie look foolish. And you don’t want to be made look foolish, Howard no.; right away.

V And watch MacDonald. That man’s

three years. At the end of three years you may ask me, if you lik-?. what you should say^ but by then you’ll know, and you’ll not need ad vice.

That's all, Howard, and I wish you all t'he luck in the world. You deserve it.But for any sake be careful. Be very careful. Listen, Howard, you can be as dumb as an oyster over there for a couple of years and then you’ll be too talkative. Mind you, i wish you welt, and I’m down on my knees praying that you’ll be careful.

Yours as ever r Quick Relief''^* for Women ^

women need not endure periodic ' pains and headaches. They can spare themselves this suffering by taking ZUTCX) TABLETS. Mrs. Allen WrighL of Fulford, who was refieved in 30 minutes ol severe pain and headache, wrote saying: "Every woman in the land should know about ZUTOO TABLETS and what they will do.” Just try the tablets and know for yourself how quickly

^they stop the pain. '

Up to December 15 more grain had been delivered to ships at West Saint John than during the emire month of December, 1929, and this traffic bids fair to exce^ that of last season for Mediterranean and other European ports, according to information gathered at Canadian Pacific Railway headquarters. In ad'dition to grain at seaboard, 1,- 600,000 bushels were in transit at mid-December, with further orders coming in daily.

Holders already of two Dominion championships, the first aid team of the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Toronto freight offices added fur- ther laurels to their crown Uv tak- ing, in face ot stiff opposition, the silver challenge shield of thé com- pany’s eastern lines chanapionship, and a week later Journey to Win- nipeg where they captured a third Dominion trophy by defeating Weston Shops, winners of the west- ern lines championship, by 35 points. Winning team was: W. T. Warren, (captain), A. T. Curie, H. H. Braid, C. W. Sellen, W. J. Turk and C. W. Macey (spare).

By the throwing of a switch in the Saskatoon power house oif the Saskatchewan Govermnent Power Commission a new era for many towns in central Saskatchewan was recently introduced. This act marked the energizing of the new high tension power line to Shell- brook and the lighting up of tliat town and of a number of interven- ing towns by electricity suiH>li^ from the central electric station in Saskatoon. About 400 miles of power lines will be functioning shortly and a hundred towns will be effectively lighted and supplied with power.

More than half a million Christ- mas trees have been shipped from the Province of New Brunswick to points in the United States. The supply of Christmas trees from New Brunswick for United States comes entirely from privately-own- ed lands, as the exportation of such trees cut on government-owned lands is forbidden.

During the past two years forty Danish families, comprising 1-65 persems, have bought farms in Nova Scotia. Twenty-five of these fami- lies made their purchase this year. 'Hhese farms are situated along the Gulf S]|iore from Pugwash to Anti- gonish, in Hants County from Wal- ton to Cheverle, and throughout the Annapolis Valley as far west as Bridgetown.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Giles Chittenham sets out to malse

Julie Farrow love Mm, intending to throw her over in revenge for the sui cide of his brother,Bodney, whom Julie had cast off. He>ÿsucceeds, but finds that he.has fallen desparately in love with her himself. Then he disecovers that it was not this Julie Farrow, but her eousin of the same name, who had driven his brother to death. But Giles is married to an American girl named Sadie Barrow, with whom he has not lived fQr a long time. Sadie unexpect- edly turns up in London, at a party at Giles* mother*s house, but both keep- silent about their marriage,

Julie, disillusioned, enters into the wild night life of London to try to drown her anguish. Lawrence Schofield wants to marrÿ her, Lombard, who had first introduced her to Chitten- ham, demands money from Giles with the threat that if he is not paid he will tell Schofield that Chittenham and Julie spent the night together on the St. Bernard Pass. Later Julie con fosses to Chittenham that she loves him.

At a spiritualist seance at Giles* mo*

ther*s house Sadie Barrow^ his wife, suddenly goes blind. She calls to him and he responds, revealing the fact •that .-she is his wife. Julie, who has sent Schofield away because oi^ her love for Chittenham, goes home in des* jifjlan CTI^VT^— £oll9,W8-.her, but.,sh7) sends him away and decides she will accept Schofield. She, goes to Scho field’s hotel. He is out, but she leaves a note for him.

Schofield *s reply is to return Julie’s note unopened. Later he calls on Chittenham and tells him that Lom- bard has told him of the night that Giles and.Jnlie spent together at Sc. Bernard. He believes the worst of Julie. Giles 'throws Schofield out. So that is what .the world believes about the girl hé loves!

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORF

It was long after midnight now and there were many motor-ears and taxi- cabs speeding along the streets, carry- ing people homewards from dances and theatres.

Giles wondered what Julie was doing. Lying awake perhaps, hating and des- pising Mm—the thought was like a knife being turned in his heart. And be was tied hand and foot by the claims of a helpless woman who would perhaps walk in darkness foif the rest of her life. . .

Tired out as he was, Chittenham never closed his eyes all nighty but towards early morning, just as the grey daylight was showing between the curtains he fell into a restless doze, to be awakened almost immediately, it seemed, by the insistent ringing of the telephone at his elbow.

**H*uUo—yes! hullo who is itî” “Is that you Mr Chittenham? Bim

Lennox speaking—” ^*Yes—oh, yes. Miss Lennox.” Giles was fully awake now, and yet

the power o fthought seemed to have deserted him.

Something had happened to Julie— something terrible—something tragi e and unalterable which would never permit him to see her again.

Something— “Hullo! hullo—” Bim*8 voice at'th.>

’phone again; “Julie’s gone—” Bim’s voice was

verÿ clear and quiet, and yet its un- derlying agitation was unmistakable.

“I came back to town early thU morning. I hadn’t heard from her for some days, and I was worried^ I came up on the early train, and I was in the flat by half-past nine, but she had gone. There was a note left for me—a note to be posted—she does no. say where she is going—she just says she is not coming back any,more.”

For the first time her steady voice shook, and broke with a ring of an- guish.

“Oh. Mr. Chittenham, what does ii mean? What can have happened to her?”

“I’ll come round at once.” It seemed to Chittenham that he had

never taken so long to dress—his hands shook 30 that he bungled everything— each moment seemed an eternity, and yet in less than three-quarters of an hour he was round at the flat. Bim still wore her jiat and coat, and her calm face and steady eyes looked strained and afraid.

She attempted no greeting—she just handed him the letter which Julie and left.

“Dear Bim, “I am going away. I’m so sick of

my life. I have tried—you know I have—and I’ve failed all round. So I’m just going away, and not coming back any more. Don’t worry about jne—I’ll find happiness somehow.

“JULIE”

Giles read the letter, and laid it. down on the table.. His face was grey, and though he tried, to speak, he could |id no words.

Bim was watching him steadily with those clear, understanding eyes tha’ seemed to see so much.

“Why has she gone, Mr, Chitten- ham?” she asked at last, painfully.

For a moment he could not. answer, then he broke out passionately:

“It’s my fault—all my fault. ^^..Oh, my God! What a brute I’ve been to her—”

Bim’s reddened lips smiled waver ingly. Suddenly she began to sob. “Oh, poor little Julie! Poor little Julie! You men are all the. same.-Why can’t you leave us alone if you only njean to bring us unhappiness?”

Chittenham made no reply. He was thinking of that at the top of the St. Bernard and of the radiant happiness in Julie’s face when she first came to Ms arms. Then he had been offered a joy too great gver to. be recaptured, and, fool-like, he had let the moments pass without tasting their full reali- zation. And now, perhaps, he would never see her again—perhaps already she had escaped from him into dark- ness and silence which he could nei- ther penetrate nor break.

After his interview with Chitten- ham, Schofield reeled out into the street from Mrs. Ardron’s house like a drunken man. For the moment he was mad with passionate rage and the bit- terness of disillusionment.

He had made an idol of Julie, and cruel hands had dragged it down from the pedestal whereon he had set it, and broken, it. He was in no fit' state to listen to rea-

son or to be sanely just. As is so often the way with single-hearted people, the first poisoned arrow had taken deadly aim.

The depths of his love was also the measurement of his despair and jeal- ousy'—he believed the worst of Julie' —he implicity believed the twisted story told to him by Lombard of that night she had spent with Giles Chit- tenham on the St. Bernard.

For weeks he had known that her reckless gaiety was but a blind to co- ver a great unhappiness, and now he felt like a man who for long ha*? groped in a dark room and has had a blind suddenly jerked up in h’S face to admit a dazzling light.

Bitter words which Julie had inad- vertently let drop, little incidents which he himself had subconsciously observed, seemed suddenly to fit like pieces of a puzzle into one complete whole.

At the end pf the road he turned blindly to cross over—he had no set idea in his mind—he did not care where he went or what became of him. It was only when a warning sho’u-t and the sharp grinding of brakes pene- trated his misery that he realised how nearly he had been run over. A wing of the big car that had almost killed him, struck his shoulder and sent him down.on ,his knees in the greasy road.

When he dragged himself up again the driver was beside him, anxious, angry and apologetic.

“My God, that was a near shave! What the hell do you mean by wan- dering about Picaddilly like that—I hope you’re not hurt—No? Sure you’re not? Well, come along with me and

have a drink. I’ve got a flat not five minutes away. ’ ’

And before he could answer or re- sist, Schofield found himself in a cosy bachelor-looking room off St. James’ Street with a servant taking his coat away to be bru-shed, and his host mix- ing a stiff whisky and soda.

He was dazed and sore, and yet in a way the shock had brought him back to his senses.

He realized that he had made a fool of himself, and the realisation was not pleasant. He gulped down the whisky and soda, and made no objection when his glass was refilled.

The driver of the car stood watching him with kindly, sympathetic eyes. He was a big bulky man with a red, bit- ten face that looked as if it had been exposed to all weathers, and he had a deep, jovial voice.

“Glad you’re not hurt,” he said after a moment. “It was a near shave, eh? By Jove, gave me a nasty turn, I can tell you. I’ve driven thousands of miles in my time on mo- tor-bites and in all sorts of Tin Liz- zies, but this is the first time I’ve knoekéd any one do-syn. Rotten sen- sation, I assure you! However, as long as you’re not hurt—haive some more whisky.”

He went on talking as he fetched the decanter.

“You a motorist? No! Never drive yo'u-rself^Well, I won’t let any one drive me—makes me as nervous as a woman. Though talking about wo men, I met one once with some pluck— Drove a ear up the St. Bernard in a blizzard. Know the road up the St. Bernard?”

“No,” There was a curiously sharp note in Schofield’s voice.

It almost seemed as if Fate was laughing at him again. Why should this man mention the St, Bernard of all places?

With an effort he pulled himself to- gether.

“No. I’ve never been to Switzer- land.”

*^No! I know every inch of it. Had a tour on a motor-bike there last sum- mer. She was some bike, too! I had a special engine fitted to her.”

He would have launeed out into a glowing description of the machine, but Schofield cut him short. '

“Who was the woman who drove a car up there? I knew one once—”

He broke off with a sharp memory of the reckless way in which Julie had boasted to him of her achievement

^ ‘ I did it all right—only I couldn’t get down—the snow was too bad—and the wind!”

He remembered how she had shiver- ed—“I never heard wind howl like it did that night—it was as if the souls of all the damned were up there V^reaming for mercy.”

That was so like her—she had been fond of talking extravagantly.

And it must have been the very night she had spent with Chittenham.

The other man went on cheerily: “I never knew her name, but she

was a little slip of a thing—fair, 1 always like fair women—eh? I remem- ber noticing her because she was the only woman in the hotel—a rotten hotel, too—she had a man with her— a decent sort of a chap. I remember he gave me a tip about a new engin'o lie— ,

Again Schofield cut in impatiently: “You don’t remember his name?

It’s strange, but two people I know did that trip, and—”

The other man laughed. “Yes, oddly enough, I ran across

him only a day or two ago—Chitten- ham, his name was—what did you say?”

“Only that it’s a coincidence, but T know Chittenham. Surprising bow small the world is.”

“You know him? Really. I like the fellow. He and I sat up together all that night jjtalking motors. It was too darned cold to sleep. He knew a lot about engines—he told me we. .

“You mean that night at Bt. Ber- nard?”

“Yes. You see, we—’ Schofield got up suddenly, Ms face

white, his eyes imploring. ^‘Will you swear that this is the

truth?” he asked thickly. The other man stared. “The truth? Why, what on earth

“Is it true that you and he sat up all that night? Oh, I know I must seem out of my mind to you; but an- swer me. If you know what this means to me—”

But before the answer came he knew what it would be; knew just how base and unfounded were Lombard’s lies; knew how cruelly he had mis- j-udged Julie—^knew also that with his own hands he had wilfully brought his last hope of happiness to the ground and broken it.

« ♦ « Bim- Lennox and Chittenham sought

everywhere for Julie, without success They enquired o-f every one whom she had ever known, and searched eve^'y spot in London she had ever visited.

Chittenahm was torn between his anxiety for Julie and his distress for Sadie.

He had told Bim the whole story. “I only wish to God I had told you

before,” he said, when he read th.e kindly sympathy and understanding in her eyes.

“When we find Julie—” He broke off as Bim turned away. “You don’t believe we shall ever find her,” h'? accused her angrily. “You’re afraid to admit it, but you believe she is dead.”

Bim made no answer, and he went on passionately ,driven by his own dread and pain. '

^‘People don’t take their lives so easily. Julie was never a coward. She’ll come back. ...”

But his own hope was not very real. He was haunted by the dread that some day he would read just such another headline in the papers as that which had announced her cousin’s tra- gic death. He spent his time between the nursing home where Sadie was and Bim’s flat.

Doris Gardener’s heart gave a queer little throb of pain whenever she thought of Giles Chittenham, an! there were times when she hoped pas- sionately that Sadie would die and set him free. But Sadie showed no signs of obliging. She had changed wonder- fully since the first shock, and had grown quiet and obedient. She did everything she was told with pathetic eagerness, and she was always gentle and grateful to Giles.

MINERAL SALTS A properly-balanced diet will provide

the required proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, water and minerals. In order to make sure of having such a balanced diet ,it is necessary that we use a wide variety of foods

The most common errqj^in sMecting a diet is in not using a sufficient quan- tity or variety of vegetables and fruits. Green leafy vegetables and fresh, fruits should be used daily. They are rich in vitamins which are required for the regulation of the body processes, and they also supply, in large measure, the minerals which the body requires.

The minerals enter into the com position of all the tissues, forming about six per cent of body weight.They are necessary for the proper nutrition of all the tissues and for the building of strong bones and teeth.

Calcium is the mineral used, most ex tensively by the body; it is the chief constituent of bones and teeth. It is present in abundance in cabbage, let- tuce, water-cress, Brussels sprouts and onions.

Sodium is abundant in apples, straw- berries and spinach. A good supply of iron is found in spinach ,lettuce aiid strawberries.

Minerals are present in varying amounts in a wide variety of foods, but ,as we have shown, an adequate supply, of minerals is secured by those who include fruits and vegetables in their diet each day.

The minerals present in fruits and vegetables are in what is called the organic form, which is the form best suited for their ingestion into the body for its use. The best way to ob- tain the minerals we need is through the proper selection of foods, not by the.use of drugs

It is not to be denied that, many persons apparently thrive on diets to which they give no attention In many of such cases, however, a wide variety of food is used ,and so a balanced diet is secured The point is however, that most individuals would -enjoy a greater measure of health if they were to give some thought to what they eat.

It is not suggested that we be- come food faddists, but simply that it is worth while to use milk, green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits daily. Such a diet will not cure all the ilh

The Death of Cock Robin The Victoria Daily Colonist recently

made some pertinent comment regard- ing voters who neglect to perform their civic duties on election day. It is worth reading ,and is herewith repro- duced:

Who killed an opportunity? “I,” admitted the busy man said I hadn’t time to attend to civic duties. I did not vote.”

“I,” regretted the thoughtless wo- man. “I let a rainy election day keep me from the polls. I did not vote.”

“I,” bewailed the lazy citizen. “I declare^ I wasn’t interested in poli- tics and I never used my ballot I did not vote. ”

“I,” cried the pessimist. “I excused myself from my duties as a citizen by saying that all candidates are bad and it wasn’t any use to vote. I did not vote.”

“I,” confessed the delinquent vo- ter. “I was a 'rocking-chair patriot.* and quieted my conscience by telling it that the election would go all right without my help. I did not vote.”

It is a common expression that in a democratic country the voters get the sort of government for which they ask. The man who neglects to vote

\ contributes to the results more effec- tively than he realizes. Too often he is the man who kills Cock R-obin, which in this ease is good government.

WONDER BRIDGES IS rr A SIXTH SENSE?’

Bridge to Be Built Over Zamberf River, Nyasaland—Length Over

All Will Bo 11,650 Feet.

An addition is about ,to be made to the world’s wonder bridges. A contract has just been signed for the construction of a bridge, across the Zambezi river, in the Nyasaland Pro- tectorate, and some twenty-five miles of railway to connect existing lines.

The scheme is going to be of vital importance in the development of Nyasaland, but its main interest will lie in the fact that the new bridge is going to be one of the longest in the world. Its total length will he a few inches over 11,650 feet.

There is one longer railway bridge in the world—the Hell Gate, New York, but 10,818 feet of its to- tal of 13,553 are over land, while during the rainy season the new Zambezi Bridge will span over 11,000 feet of waterway. At other times the width of the river at this point is 5,000 feet.

At present, the nearest rival to the Hell Gate Bridge is the Tay Bridge, in Scotland, which is 10,527 feet. The Zambezi Bridge will thus push it Into third place in the matter of length.

The Tay Bridge is somewhat de- ceptive. A good many visitors to Scotland—and perhaps a number of Scots as well—would probably say that the Forth Bridge was bigger. Really, the latter, though it may look more imposing than the Tay Bridge, is o-ver 2,000 feet shorter. Its length is 8,300 feet. Still, it comes well up in the list of wonder bridges—Eîng- land has nothing like it to show. Nei- ther, for that matter, has any other European country.

India, however, can beat it, though its two biggest bridges don’t come up to Tay Bridge standard. They are the Upper Sone Bridge, on the East In- dian Railway, which is 10.052 feet, and the Godavari, on the Madras ana Southern Mahratta Railway, which is 9.096 feet.

While not remarkable for total length, the new Sydney Bridge has a unique place among the world’s won- der bridges. Its great arch is one of the most marvellous engineering feats on record. Its span of 1,650 feet makes it the largest arch in the world, beating the famous Hell Gate Bridge arch by over 600 feet.

Then, the south of Florida, you have a railway that goes to sea, pass- ing from one coral island to another, until it reaches Key West, fifty miles from the coast.

The largest highway bridge îs an- other American achievement. This is the great road bridge, four and a half miles long, across the James river.

It. is expected that the building of the Zambesi Bridge will take about three years, but in j<^s of this kind it is sometimes impossible to stick to schedule. Thé Quebec Cantilever Bridge, for instance, was not finished until-1927. The first bridg'fe built on the site collapsed in 1907, while still under construction. The second at- terupt was also unfortunate, as the suspended span fell while it was be- ing erected. Fortunately, the main cantilevers were undamag^, but it took time to get a new suspended span into position.

The Zambezi is not an easy river. The current runs very fiercely on the north side, and is continually eating into the bank, with the result that sheds and rail-tracks have to be mov- ed back every now and again.

However, a site has been found where conditions are favorable for the bridge, and the plans allow for all contingencies. Thus, the bridge will be fifty-fc^r feet above the aver- age water levR and half that height above the higirest flood level record- ed. The thirty-three main spans will be over 262 feet each, and every one of them will weigh about 300 tons. The material used will be steel.

HORSE RACING.

Wa« Practiced Fourteen Centuries Before CSirist.

Horse racing in the style of 1930 and with the same methods of train- ing as those of to-day was practiced among the ancient Hittites fourteen centuries before Christ. This was re- vealed by thé French academy of ♦In- scriptions and fine arts recently by Prof. Bedrich Hronzy of the Univers- ity of Prague, who submitted stone tablets dug up in Asia Minor near Hoghazkeui containng instructions dictated by Kikkulis, head grboni in the stables of the king of Matannl.

The training methods outlined in these tablets are almost identical with those employed to-day. One treatment prescribed for sick horses is a mixture of salt and malt dissolv- ed in water which is still used as a physic by English trainers.

According to the tablets, track rac- ing was already an ancient sport in Biblical times. The distance for trot- ting and running events correspond closely with the present track regu- lations. The tablets also indicate that the fans bet heavily on the races and tips from trainers were eagerly sought.

Prince Beoouies Book Agent. A German prince, Leopold zu

Loewenstein - Wertheim, descended from a line which in mediaeval times gave an emperor to the Holy Roman Empire, is sitting in a London office earning his living as a pub- lisher's agent.

The Loewenstein-Wertheim estates in Germany are extremely rich, but Prince Leopold has suffered with other younger members of his family by the change in the German laws of property which followed the revolu- tion. His most famous ancestor was Rupert III., Elector and Count Pal- atine of the Rhine, who was chosen German emperor, and reigned in the latter part of the fourteenth century.

Wild Animals Seem to Know When “Live” Rail Is In Action.

There is no doubt that animals quickly learn to accommodate them- selves to the strange and novel things civilization brings in its wake.

This is true even of the live rail on electrified railway lines, says a writ- er In Answers. It is almost as if there was some sixth sense which warned them of lurking danger. Ani- mals have always seemed sensitive to an electrical condition of the atmo- sphere, and able to sense the ap- proach of thunder long before it is heard. Dogs and cattle are particu- larly aware of this.

An important engineer of the Southern Railway has been making some unofficial experiments, spread- ing over five years of observation, with regard to animals and the live rail. He says that rats and pigeons know when the current ot a live rail! is on or off. When it is off rats will walk over and along the rail quite casually; but as soon as the current is switched on they never fail to jumj? right over It.

With regard to pigeons, he sayuti “I threw seed or bread on and beside the rail with the current on, and tbs birds left It untouched. With the cur- rent off they would pick up tb< crumbs from the rail itself.”

It has long been a marvel to many that the extension of live rails ints country districts has not caused the deaths of many thousands of wild animals. There have been casualties^ but very, very few.

How do animals know? It cannot be by means of any of the five sense» which animals share with human be- ings, so we are driven back to the theory of the sixth sense, a sense, un- fortunately, denied to man! It may, be something similar to the weil- known homing instinct of cats. |

THE OCELET.

Wild Cat of South America Is Beau- tifully Marked.

The oc^ot is a wild cat of the South American forests. This ani- mal is native of the tropics of A:;ier- ica. In size it is about four feet ; ng, including the tail, and about «eigh- teen inches high. It is beauU.ully marked in fawn and black stripe.. Knd spots. It is hunted for its fur.

In its quick, light movements, the Ocelot is much like a leopard, culy it is much smaller. Although v :\ea captured it is savage and Irriuible; it can be tamod, and soon leani;:: to know its friends. One writer tells of having won the friendship of a cage of ocelots by catching bluebottles* (large flies) and throwing them into the cage. He also fed them grass, and soon they began to look for his visits, purring like big cats, and put- ting their heads down to be rubbed. They found out that he wished them no harm, but wanted to be friends. '

In the forest ^the ocelot gets his living after the manner of others of the cat tribe. He catches small ani- mals and birds, and has even been known to gobble up small monkeys. He is very light, agile, and graceful, hiding in the long grass and on branches of trees, and springing on the prey like lightning.

A LARGE SPEEDWAY.

Trenton, N.J., Is Site for Proposed World’s Biggest Oval.

The largest automobile race track in the world. This is the title that sponsors of a new speedway to be built in Trenton, N.J., hope for their $3,000,000 project for which the plans are nearing completion. The huge racing bowl, according to pres- ent specifications, will be larger than both the famous track at Brooklands,. Bhigland, and the Indianapolis speed- way.

The track will be built on a tract of land on the outskirts of Trenton., More than 700 acres will be covefyd by the oval and buildings of the. speedway.

The grandstand will seat 106,000 persons, and will be constructed of reinforcéd concrete.

The three-mile tract will be of. concrete with a sp^ial surface to as- sure a fast surface In any weather.j A novel feature of its constructipnj will be that the oval will be so buJltl that subways will give accessi to thet inner circle, so that much of the de-i lays in races usually caused by the] necessity of having the track clear soj ears can cross to the inner oval tb prepare for .the next race will be done away with.

OONSCffUPTION FOR WCHdEN.

Women M.P.’s Are Bringi^ In Leg- islation to Conscript Women.

Compulsory military service for : women will be established in Poland if the women M.P.’s of that country have their way. They are bringing in. legislation to introduce conscription! for women.

The scheme provides for the form-, ation of a special women’s army, in| which girts will be required to serr«j_ when they attain the age of eigh-i teen. The service period is to bei eighteen months. In the event of war, the women who have passed through this force will form a special] military reserve.

Various duties connected with so- cial work and public health are to be entrusted to this women’s army, and it will probably be organized and, trained rather on the lines of oor own war-time Women’s Army Auxil- iary Corps, says an Old Country cor- respondent. But women have alno. taken part in actual fighting as com- batant troops.

Highland Sociely Big Drive For Memhership

Recently we announced the names and the districts allotted to the lady contestants in the drive f-or new mem- bers inaugurated by the Highland So- ciety of Glengarry and as the lady can- vassers have already begun work and purpose making a general canvass it is hoped that their visits will be an- ticipated and that they will in every instance receive attention. The more so when it is taken into consideration the objects and aims of this national Society. •

Handsome cash prizes, 1st $75.00, 2nd, $50.00, 3rd $25.00 .and a fourth prize to be decided upon, will be the means of creating a friendly rivalry among the contestants and will before the drive closes spread to- the residents in the sections they represent.

Membership fee, one =j'ear or more may be taken at $1.00 per year for men and 25c per year for ladies.

We again reproduce the names ‘ of the ladies: Miss Violet Kelly, Alexan dria, Miss Helen Macdonell, St. Ra- phaels West for Charlottenburgh; Miss Mary M. Macdonell, R. E. 1, Alexandria-Lochiel and Miss Margaret Stewart, R.R. 1, Dunvegan-Ken-yon.

The Slone Store ^ Damageil by Fire What might have proved a disas-

trous conflagration occurred about one 0 ’cloche. Christmas mioxning, when church-goers were wending their way home discovered dense smoke issuing from the rear of the stone store, own- ed and operated by Mr. D E. Markson. The alarm was given and a goo-d res- ponse was made by the fire brigade who under Chief Seger, soon had four streams in play and after some three hours strenuous work, during which the fire was confined -to the building in which it originated, was brought unider subjection. As considerable stock was damaged by smoke and wa- ter, Mr. Markson’s loss undoubtedly is a heavy one and -he has the sympathy of his fellow citizens. We under- stand the loss has been adjusted by Insurance Companies which permits Mr. Markson to proceed immediately with the sale of his merchandise. 0

age estimated at $450,000 was caused on Saturday when fire completely raz-^ ed one o-f Ottawa’s finest edifices, Sf. JosA^pli’s Roman Catholic Chiireh.

The combined efforts of every avail- able piece of fire-fighting apparatus in Ottawa and Hull were unable to save the church, but succeeded in lo calizing the blaze. Near-by church buildings and private homes were de- luged with water and were saved from burning.

Professor P. S. Campbell Passes in DFID Fear

X (Toronto Gloibe) In the death on Saturday, in his

eighty-fourth year, of Peter Sinclair Campbell, at his residence on Rosehill Avenue there passed a sturdy Scots- man and a Tv’ell-known Baptist educa- tionist. He was formerly Professor of Classics at McMaster University, and was superannuated three years ago. Preceding his acceptance of the pro- fessorship in McMaster in 1890, he was Principal of Hamilton Collegiate and School of Pedagogy.

Born ill Dominionville, Glengarry, Professor Campbell received his educa tion at Woodstock College and the University of Toronto, graduating in 1878 a gold medalist in classics. His close personal " touch with the many' students who passed through his classes endeared him fto a host of young peo- ple. With evangelical tendencies, he was instrumental in establishing many missions w’hich , eventually developed into strong Baptist Churches. Ho was recogniz&d as a forceful preacher as w’ell as possessing outstanding abil- ity. Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Leigh Ross of Minneapolis, and one grandson, Ronald . Glenn Campbell of New York, and two brothers, Alex, of Dulu'th and Duncan of Glengarry.

$10,766,000 ONTARIO COLLECTED IN GASOLINE TAX

TORONTO, Ontj Dec. 29.—Tax on gasoline brought the Province of On- tario $10,756,000 for the year ending Oct. 31, last, the Ontario Department of Highways’ figures show

This is the largest figure so far collected by the Ontario Government since the gasoline tax came into force, and .exceeds the 1929 figure by $2,259,- 000.

There are approximately '540,000 motor vehicles in the province. In the present, fiscal year the- depart- ment expects a revenue of at least $11,- 000,000 from gasoline tax. The rate of tax was increased from three to five cents a gallon in March, 1929.

ONTARIO CONGRATULATED

Montreal Star:No young public man ever had a better chance than Mr. Hep-; burn has secured. He takes hold at the bottom of a ^^bear” market. The only room for movement is upward. If ho convinces ifhe electorate of Ontario that he is a leader of sanity, vision and courage, he can hardly fail to make progress. Any Government is alj the better for searching eriticism- and the new Government of Mr. Henry ought to welcome the arrival of at leasit a hope that henceforth the Oppo- sition in the Legislature will give it in greater measure the stimulus oi competition. Ontario, indeed, is to be congratulated on securing two such promising altornatiTe Prime Ministers as Henry and Hepburn.

suspended following the opening, so thait Sir William Mulock, Chief Justice of Ontario, and Bill Genne, Philadel- phia, fraternal delegate from the Unit- ed States, could be given the privilege of the floor.
