Simple Rites Follow Pageantry As Late Monarch is Buried

Queen’s Tribute Rests on Coffin.

King Georgle V., most po'wrerful and most modest of present day monarchs, ended Ms last journey at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, on Tuesday and was laid to rest among his predecessors following scenes of splendid mourning and deep grief of his people such as had never before been equalled in the history of the world.

He rests now in the vaults of St. George’s Chapel, a King whose ideal of “fidelity, brotherhood and peacewas exemplified in pri- vate life and whose passing was grieved by his people far in excess of any mourning in the past that England or the Empire has known.

Amid a popular outpouring such as London has never witnessed, King George was borne from Westminster Hall, through streets lined p^ith surging masses'of his sorrowing subjects, to Paddington whence the funeral train took the body to Windsor. . IMPRESSIVE 3VHLE-LONO CORTEGE

The funeral cortege was among the most impressive in the hist- ory of old London. At the head marched a general staff officer, fol- owed by detachments of the Royal Horse Guards and band of the Third Regiment of Riflemen and the cavalry of the Royal Household. îTaxt came detachments of the colonial forces, taifks, infantry regi* lients, foot guards, dragoons and hussars, preceding representatives )f tbe naval and military forces of 31 nations. The almoners of the Ling, military and naval officers, field generals, members of the Air Council, colonels of regiments which bore the King’s name, generals )f the Imperial General Staff, Admirals of the Fleet and Admiralty ind aides-de-camp of the late Monarch followed. «k5>hen came massed bands of the army, the air force and the navy îoUowod by an artillery band and a group of 100 bagpipers represent- ng the Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders and other Scottish regi- q'ents. Britain’s ranking peer, the Dube of Norfolk, who organized he-funeral cortege, marched at the head qf the dignitaries of the îoÿal House, the valets of the chamber walking just before the fun- irai convoy itself. Two parallel lines of Royal equerries surrounded the jun carriage which bore the King’s body and which was drawn by .50 sailors.

•Wtith bare head, his features marked by grief Edward vm waïk- id behind the gun carriage, followed by the Dukes of Kent, York and Jloneester. Next in line were the Earls of Athlone and Harewool vith King Haakon and the Crown Prince of Norway, President Albert jebrun of Prance, King Christian of Denmark, King Lreopold of the Belgians, Ring Boris of Bulgavia and King Carol of Rumania formed , line behind the Royal mourners and then eame the Crown Prince of J^den, Prince Regent Paul nf Y^ugo slavia, the Prince of Piedmont if Italy, the Crown Prince of Egypt and the Crown Prince \oî Greece, dore lines of minor royalties and princelings, among them Grand Duke Dmitri of Russia, followed in brilliant uniforms as varied as hey were picturesque. ™ The royalties were immediately in front of a glass coach in vhieh, deeply veiled, sat the Queen, the Princess Royal, the Duchess of fork and Queen Maud of Norway.

There followed high diplomats, statesmen, Field Marshals and AdmiraU of foreign lands, Indian Princesses, African Potentates in lative dress and representatives of the British Dominions and Col- mies. The procession was brought up by a seemingly endless line of British high officers, Generals, Admirals and Commanders, then more troops and marines and finally by sailors from the King's yacht, the ‘Victoria and Albert.’’ « WIRELESS SIGNAL STARTS PROCESSION

A mile away from Westminster Hall, in front of St. James’ Pal- ice, the head of the procession received a wireless signal after the Etoyal coffin was placed on the gun carriage and the cortege started on its way through streets draped in purple and black. Guards lined the •oute with arms reversed and heads ‘bowed as the gun carriage ap- peared surmounted by the priceless Royal Crown and .regalia and the ^uepn Mother’s wreath.

Six bands in rotation played the funeral march following which a contingent of lOO pipers filled the air with their mournful wail as :hey piped the King’s favorite lament “Flowers of the forest”, the iirge of every Highland Chieftain. The only other sounds to break the awesome silence were the deep toned notes of Big Ben’s tolling ind the roar of the Hyde Park cannon.

Three times the main procession was forced to halt to permit am- bulances to remove persons who had fainted and by the time it arrived at the station, where tho body was pla-ced on the Royal train, it was 2b minutes behind schedule.

SIMPLE SERVICE AT CHAPEL -The old Sebastapol bell, which tolls only at the funerals of reign-

ing monarchs, broke its long silence as the/body was taken through the narrow streets and along the winding castle road at Windsor.

One hundred thousand pe^rsons were massed along the mile and a half route to Si. George’s chapel into which the body was piped by a dozen

bo^suns’ mates. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York, with clergy and choir,

received the procession at the entrance of the Chapel and preceded the coffin and bearers inside. With the congregation standing, the procession moved toward the altar until the catafalque was reached and tho coffin placed upon it. The King and Queen Mother took their places at the head with Royal relatives behind them while the rest of the Royalties and dignitaries were grouped near the entrance.

Tile service was both short and simple. The choir sang “The Lord is my Shepherd”, the Bishop of Winchester, as prelate of the Garter, read from Revelations the lesson “There shall be no more death”, again the choir sang, this time the King’s favorite hymn “Abide with Me”, then Archbishop of York said final prayers and the Archbishop of CaAterbury began the seutenees of the committal.

The coffin sank slowly through the floor to the vault s,s the Archbishop sprinkled ashes. King Edward, taking a silver bowl scat, tered a handful bf earth from Sandringham. The Garter King of i^rins recited the styles and titles of the dead. King and proclaimed those of the living King following wliich the Archbishop of Canter- bury pronounced the benediction.

The Queen Mother took King Edward’s anu and they turned away as representatives of foreign powers advanced one by one and bowed to the square of purple carpet with which the tomb had been covered. The congregation streamed out. George V. had been laid to rest and of his passing there remained only the fragrance of some 2,000 floral pieces ban'ked high against the ancient wall of the Chapel of British Kings,’*. '

Play was completed this week for the Challenge Cup when Donald A. Macdonald’s rink of Dr. M. Thomson, F. Forsyth and Dr. M. Markson out- classed the foursome of C. Ostrom, E. A. Macdonald, Dr. D. J. Dolan and Dr. H. L. Cheney in the final roupd by a 19—7 score. The winners lead from the third end and well deserved their victory which will probably have to be repeated many times before the end of the season as they are open to challenge from any ranking four play- ers in the club once a week.

Many close and interesting games featured the Challenge Cup play and there was very little to choose be- tween the nine teams which took part. The results of the matches were as follows:

Memorial Service

On Friday, January 24th, a widely

known and universally esteemed citi-

zen of Alexandria, in the person of

Mr. Théophile Secours, passed to his

eternal reward after a long illness

borne with true Christian fortitude.

Up to the time of his death he had

been residing with his daughter Mrs. Raoul Trottier, on Main Street.

The late Mr. Seconrs was horn at St. Louis de Gonzague, Que., on the 23rd February 1853 and was a son of the late Louis Secours and his wife the late Felixe Leduc. In his early youth he moved to St. Isidore de Pres, eott and while there made the ac- quaintance of Miss Leocadie Bonne- ville whom he subsequently married in the year 1878.

Some seveii years later with Ms wife and young family he settled in tho township of Kenyon where he car- ried on successfully his chosen calling, Agriculture, until the^year 1911 when he retired from the farm and came to reside in Alexandria. Throughout this period he gave to his family the ad- vantage of a good education and the benefit of careful training to ensure their success in life. In this he had the whole-hearted co-operation of his wife who predeceased him five years ago.

Wïhile in Alexandria he Ivon the high regard of his fellow citizens and

A Great Help

COBNWIALL, Ont., Jan. 29.—(Spe-

cial)—Urging immediate action on

the part of counties council, a special

committee returned a favorable re-

port to that body today in connec-

tion with the proposed ereetibn of a

100-bed tuberculosis sanatorium to

serve Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry

counties. The report was referred to

the finance committee for discussion,

and it is expected a definite decision

will be reached before adjournment

the January (session on Saturday- The committee appointed last Octo-

ber, recommends the building of a $200,000 institution on a site east of Cornwall, along tho lines of a sana- torium opened last May at Fort Wil- liam. It was pointed out in the report that the project could be financed by a $100,00.0 counties debenture issue, the balance of the cost to be met by Government grants and private con- tributions^

Operating Costs Low It wag the opinion of the commit-

tee that the sanatorium would operate at 95 percent, capacity, with a re- venue of $1.50 per patient per day from the municipalities and 67^ cents per day from the province, thus assuring an operating profit sufficient to retire maturing bonds from year to year. The annual gross revenue was estimated at $75,416.

The report referred to the fact that tho tubercular death rate in Eastern Ontario is much higher than that in other portions of the province. It was stated that 55 residents of the United Counties now patients in sanatoriums and that a like number are recommended for treatment, but have been unable to obtain it. The com-, mittee pointed out that the average cost of curing a person afflicted with

grouped behind tho coffin in S^.

George’s chapel broadcast the funeral

services, through facilities of the

Bfritish BroadcasE|ing Corporation, to every comer of tho world while the first stages of the funeral cortege in London and the parade from Windsor Station to the Chapel were also ade- quately covered.

For many in Canada the day began at 4.30 a.m. when the broadcasting started and it was dearly heard' by lis- teners-in both here and in the United States where every station was car- rying the broadcast.

'Solemn memorial services, the boom- ing-of guns and the tolling of bells in every city and town of the Empire and in principal cities the world over^ signified the universal grief on this occasion. Throughout the Empire a two-minute silence was observed, that in the Dominion coming at 1.30 p.m. in the various time zones. Guns boom- ed a solemn farewell salute of 70 notes—one for each year of the late Sovereign's life.

Sons Slood Guard Beside laie Monarch's Calaialque

Marking the first time iu history that an English King and his younger bro- thers ever took part in the watch at the lying-in-state. King Edward VIII and his thr^e brother's appeared at Westminster Hall shortly after mid- night, early Tuesday morning and kept their last vigU until 12.30 a.ra. Edwa'rd and Ms brothers assumed their jxlaees unobtrusively, relieving four watching officers with the cus- tomary ceremonial salute, then with gloved hands folded over sword hilts they bowed their heads.

King Edward, wearing the full dress uniform of Colonel of the Welsh Guards, and the Duke of Gloucester, in a Hussar’s uniform, stood at the corners at the head of the Royal cof- fin,' while the Duke of York, in a full dress Air Force uniform, and the Duke of Kent, iu a uniform of the Navy, took their places at the foot. By spe- cial command of King Edward, the public was permitted to • continue its pilgrimage past the bier, but few of the 8,000 persons who filed by at this time recognized the Royal sentries

lulermuBiale League Gels Under Way in Bnuble Header On Wednjesday night, Chisholm

Park was in the limelight when two games of real fast hockey were play- ed. It was a double-header, being the first two encounters of the Alexandria Hockey League, and resulted in the Chisholm Parkers winning from the Boy Scouts by a score of 4—3 and the Alexandria High School defeating the Young People’s Society 3—1.

The brand of hockey witnessed by the spectators, who unfortunately were very few in number, due to the extremely cold weatlier, was such that would make any senior team feel proud-

The play was fast and wide open with good combination and team play a prominent factor. As marked evi- dence of the sh'arp-shooting whicfli featured both games, is the fact that the average number of stops by the net guradians was no less than twenty eight. Each team had on its roster fast skaters, good shots and clever stiek-handlc^rs but, the outstanding players in Wednesday night’s games were the goal-tcnds who time after time saved sure goals and were always on theix toes.

One of the neatest pieces of scor ing in the evening’s play was execut- ed when the mascot of the' league little Rene (Boxer) Lecompte picked up a loose puck about twenty feet out from the Parker’s nets and sizzled a shot that bulged the twine and ser- ved as tally number one for the Scouts.

Scorers for their respective teams were Scouts, Rene Lecompte, Doua Thauvette, Donat Thauvette; High School, W.' Butler, Wv Brunet, F. Char- lebois; Y.P.S.j J. A. McDonald; Chisholm Parkers, L- Gauthier, (2) Geo. Brunet, N. Gauthier.

Not only the citizens of Alexandria, irrespective of race or creed but a large^ circle of friends within a wide radius of our town were plunged into grief when it was learned, on Tues- day of this week, that Mrs. Euclide Rouleau, for many years one of the leaders in every sphere of charitable, educational and religious activity in this district had been struck by the hand of death. Numerous families had undOj. hcr leadership been provided with comforts which otherwise they could not have known^ while in imr- ish activities her unflagging energy and wise guidance brought results which cannot be over-estimated. -

The late Mrs. Rouleau was bom at Papineauville, Que., in the year 1878 and was a daughter of the late Pascal Beaudry and his wife Angele Gauthier. After completing her pre- liminary education in the schools of her native parish, she preparéd her- self for a career as a teacher and dur- ing the short term in which she fol- lowed her chosen profession display- ed the thoroughness and ability which won her many successes in after life. At the age of nineteen she married |3u-

clide Rouleau then of Bourget, Ont., where they remained until 1916, A£- . ter a short residence in Hawkesbury the family moved to Alexandria And took over the management of the Ot- tawa House which became one of the J

most popular hostelries in this east- ern district.

The mother’s love of education re- sulted in each of the children receiv- ing a thorough training an all the ad- vantages which devoted parents could give them and hers was the satisfac- tion of seeing them take full advan- tage of the opportpnities afforded Up to the time of her death Mrs. Rouleau was President of the Alex- andria Branch of the Federation of , French Canadian Women and lOne of the leading members of the Laid- ies of Ste. Anne. Besides her mani- fold activities and onerous domestic ^ duties Mrs. Rouleau also found time to act as a member of the local reiref, committee : invaluable. -

She is^ survived by her devoted hus- band, by five sons, Rev. Raoul Rou- leau, P.P., Lancaster, Ont., Dr. B. J. » Rouleau, D.D.S., and Ubald Rouleati ^ of Cornwall; Rev.

Cheese production in Canada has beeii declining stop-over ' for a number of years, but this tendency appears to

A con- .sidêrable quantity of , cheese is imported into Can- ada, chiefly of types not manufactured in this coun try. Canadian cheddar cheese is well regarded in Great Britain, and commands a premium over cheese of the same type from other countries on tha.t market. 0

MIXED FEED TRADE MAKING INCREASE

Ready, niixed feeds for live stock and poultry to the extent of 198,055 tons, wHh a value at the manufacturing point of .$7,725,177, were purchased by Ca,nadian feeders in 1934, according to a sur- vey conducted by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics, in co-operation with the Peed Division of the Seed Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture. The only other similar survey coyered 1930, when 175,987 tons, valued at $7,714,739, were purchased.

Poultry feeds led all others in volume by a large margin and accounted for about 70 per cent, of the total. Cattle feeds, principally for dairy cattle, came next, with 27,130 tons, followed by swine feeds, with 16,252 tons, and horse feeds, ■with 4,228 tons. iSales of only 14 tons of sheep feeds were reported.

These figures include but a part of the farmers’ outla.y for feeds. They cover only mSSed feeds and do not indicate the extent to which single mater- ials, such as bran, shorts, linseed oil meal, gluten feed, tankage, fish meal, etc., are purchased to supplement and balance farm-grown feeds. A complete seiwey would not show a much great- er total volume of purchases, but undoubtedly also a proportionately greater amount of feeds for live stock as compared with poultry feeds, since, in general, live-stock feeders depend more extensive- ly on supplemental materials a.nd less on complete mixed feeds.

COWS ARE FEWER BUT MORE MILK

tion in the Province of Saskatehe%van is much more satisfactory than it has been for several years,” says the “Outlook.” A similar condition is report- ed from Alberta, although iu each of these two Provinces there are still small areas in which sup- plies are inadequate. A heavy crop of hay was also harvested in British . Columbia. Feed supplies in Western Canada have been enlarged for this year by the high percentage of low grade rusted wheat which was harvested.

The yield of grains as a whole was very satisfac- tory, hut the quality from the standpoint of

,,rade” was low. Ontario corn growers har- vested an excellent crop of grain and the produc- tion of fodder corn was slightly higher than in 1934. The abundance of feed available has led to a marked increase in the numlber of cattle on feed for the winter of 1935-36.

Full details of the feed situation and other facts of interest to farmers are presented in the “Agrienltural Situation and Outlook” prepared by the Dominion Departments of Agriculture and of Trade and Commerce. This publication is avail- able, free to farmers and others interested, from the Publicity and Extension Branch, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. 0

QUARANTINE STATIONS AND ./^IMAL ENTRY PORTS

According to the regulations .]ust issued relat- ing to aniamals’ quarantine and the health of ani- mals, the following Canadian Customs ports are declare,^ to be Animals’ Quarantine Stations, and all animals imported into Canada subject to our- antine must be entered through these stations; Nova Scotia—Halifax and Yarmiouth ; Prince Ed- ward Island—Charlottetown ; New Brunswick — Saint John and MeAdam Junction; Quebec—Que- bec City (importations by sea), Sherbrooke and St. John’s Ontario—^Por Erie, Windsor, Sarnia, Sault Ste.

cheesemakers ; in fa.ct, for almost all farmers, well as consumers of dairy products.

In June, 1935, the nuffliber of milk cows on farms in Canada was less than at the same date in 1934. The exxweted result ■wiould be a reduction in the total amount of milk produced. Actually, an increase has taken place, due to the material im- provement in available feed supplies in most parts of Canada, in addition to a higher proportion of the cows actually being milked.

It is in such a.manner that the Dominion De- partments of Agriculture and Trade and Commerce have gone about diagnosing the prospects for dairy products in 1936, in their publication, “Agricul- tural Situation and Outlook.”

Producers of milk and milk products in Can- ada may look forward to returns in 1936 at least as high,-;as in 1935, Summarizing the- situation, the Outlook states: “Examination of the factors which ■will affect the production of dairy products indi-

Firefly’s Illumination Puzzles the Scientists

Once it was tlioiiglu that phos- ihonis was lhe cause of the Uiniinos-

■ty of ihM firefly and its hirva, the :low-\vonn. and the phenomenon was •ailed phosphorescence.

Hut the substance of the luminous :ones of these -curious beetles has many times been exhaustively an- alyzed for phosphorus, without an in- dication of its being found, and the real nature of the firefly's glow re- mains a secret.

The key to the solution seems to lie in the fact that certain fats, oils and other substances exhibit luininosily when permitted to combine with oxy- gen in an alknMne solution. Just what takes place here Is not known, but it is a form of combustion. In laboratory experiments the contact .also proiluces a measureable amount of heat, while in the firefly ami in lu- minous fishes and plants it does not appear to do so.

The light-producing organs of the firefly are unquestionably arranged to bring about this union of oxygen and a fatly secretion. The seat of the light is intensely luminous areas in the abdomen or thorax or hoth^ Fiach is a specialized portion of the fat body, a plate situated directly beneath the skin, and supplied with nerves and fine tubes connecting with the trachea or windpipe.

The cells of these fatty places se- crete, under the control of the nerv- ous system, a substance which is burned during the appearance of light. This combustion takes jdace by means of the oxygen eoifveyed to the cells by the fine tracheal branches.

Porcupine Does Not Hurl Quills at Its Enemies

That a ponmplne throws its quills is a common error, made by Ivongfel- low in his poem “Hiawatha” when he said : “From a hollow tree the htnlge- hog. With his sleepy eye looked at him, Shot^ his shining quills like ar- rows.” The quills are loosely insert- ed in the skin and may he detacheil by a violent shaking of the body or by contact with other objects. When at- tacked the porxnipine thra.shes about actively with _its tail, often causing quills to- be detached and embedded in t-he flesh of the attacker. John Hur- roughs says : -‘‘Touch .his tail and like a trap it springs up and strikes your hand full of quills. The tail is the active weapon of defense: with this the animal strikes. It is the outpost that delivers its fire before tlie citadel is reached. It is doubtless this fact that has given rise to the popular no- tion that the porcupine can shoot its quills, which, of course, it cannot do.**

Running Not- Always Pure That running water purifies itself

is one of our oldest sanitary axioms-'- and yet the suggestion it <-arries is entirely wrong, say.s .“How to I.ive.*’ Standing, water purifies itself to a much greaterVdegree and in a shorter time. Pollution con.sists almost en- tirely of solid material in particles of various sizes. In quiet water these particles settle out, carrying most of the germs with them. Running streams keep theins<dves constantly stirred up and any pollution they receive is car- ried for a lotag time. It is not wi.se, therefore, to trust water that comes from a pretty spring or waterfall. 'Fhe only safe priiK'iple is not to drink from country supplies at all, or, If this can- not be avoided, to do so only after th^ water has been boiled.

Prehistoric Burial Place

A prehistoric cemetery, which is be- lieved to be four or five thousand years old, has been discovered at Asnieres, on the outskirts of Pari.s. Workmen, digging the foundations for a new building, found in a bed of sand enormous blocks of stone and human hopes. Many completely fossilized bones have been dug out and deposited at the Mairie. One interesting point about the discovery is that it shows the care with which our prehistoric ancestors buried their dead. One block of sandstone, weighing nearly two tons, indicates that men must have pushed It, probably oh rollers, for many iiiiles In order to make a worthy monument.

Bees and Noise fsome beekeeepers believe that any

loud noise such as shouting, ringing bells, beating pans, etc,, will make hee.s settle. The United States De- j)Hrtn>ent of Agriculture has de4 lare<l : “No one knows yet whether bees can hear or not. at least no one has ever discovered their hearing apparatus. A person is wasting his time when he hammers on a dishp«*ui to bring down a swarm of bees.” While it is a very old l>e|ief or superstition that bees can be made to settle by this means, it is at least questionable as to whether the bees hear any of the noi.se.

I'he street is full of acthui. (Jam* hlers crowd around wheels of fortune. Orange-colored monkeys dance to the strains of a guitar. l>lainas laden with rice, or colTee, step haughtily over the cobbles. Indian vendors bake maize in wdde corn busk.s on the street. And Ohylos sit on the side- walk and spin bright-hue<i yarn. Tlie Indians, topped with stiff hats and wrapped in blue or red ponchos have regular “character*’ faces bulging with cocoa leaves, which they all cliew. 'Hie (Tiolos swirl along in a dozen garishly colored, billowing skirts—looking for all the world like beach umbrellas.

Olive One of the Oldest Fruits Known to World

There is one fruit with an ancient past. If ever there was one—^the oflve. It has been cultivated for 4,000 years and mofe. ,

The olive has always been a token of peace and purity. It Is said that way bax'k in the beginnings, when one country wanted to show off its good manners, it w*ould present another (.•omitry with a load of olive branche.^, to be planted and grown into olive frees.

Pickle olives, similar to onr green olives of today, have been found in the ruins of Pompeii.

Olives are a product of sunny lands —Spain. Italy. Greece, northern Af- rica and CallfomW.

Virtually all our green olives come from the sunny slopes of S)>ain. No one knows just w’hen or how the proc- ess of curing olives wa.s discovered— except that It ■«qis thmi.sands of years ago. Every packer in Spain still has his own jealously-guarded secret meth- od of preserving olives. These fa- miliar green olives, packed in glass, are carried by every grocer in the land.

Discovered Maple Syrup The manufacture of maple syn/p

and maple sugar is purely an Ameri- can industry. The first of the .New England settlers exjdoring the Indian trails In the springtime saw the na- tives gashing trees with the toma- hawks and sap flowing into hollow logs and bark containers. Soon maple sugar became the .sugar of the early settlers, even as far south as Virginia and Kentucky. At first the white men followed the Indians* method of pro- ducing maple syrup and sugar. But it was not long before they learned that the Indians’ deep gashes in the trees often injured them. Tapping methods were improved, but the evap- orating process has changed little, ex- cept that more modern equipment is often used.

‘^Overhead Expenses^

Speaking in general terms, fay over- head is meant those items of general expulse of a manufacturing plant (for instance) which are additional to the cost of the labor and material actual- ly entering into the production of the plant. For example, under/overhead it is usual to group salaries of offi- cials and clerical and other employees not directly concerned in imodudng, office expenses, all indirect labor, trav- eling expensed of .salesmen, interest. Insurance, legal expenses, care of plant. Def^reciation also frequently is Included under such head. .

Worm-Catching Plants

I’ersons who may have thought that ferocious plants which capture and devour animals exist only in storie.s and the minds of tlieb- author.s will be Interested in a report by an official of the bureau of plant industry. These plants and their victims, he says, are so small as to be seen only through microscopes. They form a jungle from which they extend their feelers or limbs to capture the small worm-like animals as they iiass along. The plant then releases a chemical strong enough to quickly dispose of the unlucky pri.s- >ner.

Polarized Light

Polarized light is a comlition of the rays of light, imduding those of the infra-red and ultra-violet parts of the sî>ectrum. resulting in their exhibiting different properties in different direc- tions. Ordinary light is due to vibra- tions transverse to the direction of the ray, but varying so rapidly as to show no particular direction of their own. When these vibrations are given a definite direction, light is said to he polarized.

All of us will agree that man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. For life •would not be 'sueh a continual grind; so many hearts would not -be heavy with grief; so many feet would not be travel-weary if men were only kinder to one another. It is a tired hand that will not respond to the touch of friendship and the. clouds are heavy that will not melt before the smile

■of sympathy. The human heart craves sympathy and its den-

ial is responsible for many a heartbreak. We too often forget that “a heart nigh broken sighs for affection and not for gold” that a word that is kindly spoken, even a little word, is better than wealth untold.

If we do not cultivate the gift of sympathy we not only make it harder for others, but we make it harder for ourselves. We miss half the joy of life, for the world belongs in its fulness only to the

V symtpathetic. Who will say that Scrooge was not happier after he had the husk of selfishness?

“Never morning wore to evening but some heart did break” for sympathy denied.

It is only the strong nature that can dispense •with sympathy, and strong natures are as rare as sharing mountain peaks. For most of us, who are ;feshioned with ordinary clay, sympathy is as ne- cessary as the breath of life. It is the talisman that can change the face of the world. All our hills are plains when we are in step with a friend.

If there be one place more than another where vCWe should find symtpathy, it is the horad.' It mat- "ters little whether it be a: cottage or a palace, if it

is rich in sympathy it wll always be as an oasis to which we turn for r^st and refreshment ; it will be « sanctuary into which the cares of the work-a-day world da.re not intrude. It is the lack of this gol- den bond of sympathy that makes of so many homes a hell. If the hudband, when he returns from his daily toil, finds no syrdipathy in the home circle, he will seek it elsewhere. If the wife cannot win a smile from her husband, she will eat out her heart in silent anguish.

OIL TREATMENT IS NEEDED IN WINTER

(By Jac(iueline Hunt, in Montreal Gazette) Whether you go in for winter sports or limit

your outdoor exercise to brisk walks or shopping tours, you must guard against the damaging effects the wind and snow may have on your skin. This is one case where there is no doubt, that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.

The cold and wind dry the natural oils from the skin. This m(ay cause chapping and irritation, and the skin is apt to wrinkle more easily. Make-up. doesn’t adhere properly on the too-dry skin, with the result that noses become red and shiny and lip-y stick cakes miost unattractively, unless the skin is pampered with extra oil.

The weather is not the oidy enemy of your skin. Hot stuffy rooms devoid of moisture also teUd to dry it -out, so you should make a, softening,

, oil-replenishing treatment a part of each days beau- ty ritual. If you will be faithful about these treat- ments, it will not be difficult to look and feel your best.

For cleansing use cold erea,m or oil. Muscle oils i or special facial oils, followed by a richer, heavier cream, are best for softening. The vanishng cream's and powder lotions that were so nice dur- ing the summer are too drying now, a,nd in place of them you must use only foundations, unless

- your skin naturally tends to be very oily. Every night before retirizig literally bathe the

skin with cream or oil. Allow it to remain until it is liquified, and then rèmove with cleansing tissues. Next, fill the wash basin with warm water and add *1 i'éw drops Of tincture of benzoin, then drop in your cake of soap and work up a good lather.

, Use this for cleansing; it is gentler and more sooth- ! ing than ordinary^ soap and water.

INOAV apply a gOod oil or a soft, rich cream made from melting together equal parts of toilet lanoline, cocoa butter, and olive oil. Apply liberally over fa.ce, throat, chest, and shoulders, and mas- sage, using light upward Pats and strokes. This stimulates the circulation and warms the skin, causing it absorb the oil more readily.

Dip thewash cloth in eomforta-My warm water and hold this over the fa.ce and neck. The moisture and the additonal warmth relax the pores and soften the surface of the skin so more oil Is absorbed Re-

i peat two or three times until your skin glows and feels soft and smooth to the touch. Then rinse with cold water and dry thoroughly.-

Always use a paste rouge during the cold wea- ther, even though you prefer a powder or liquid rouge at other times. If the. paste rouge doesn’t blend as easily as you wish, try mixing it with a little cream.' 0

HOW CELERY CAN BE USED

For crispness and freshness, quite apart from its distinctive flavour, celery is delightful to eat, either alone or combined with other foods lacking in such qualities. Many a meal is greatly improv- ed by serving celery hearts or curls a,nd many a salad or sandwich seems to require a generous amount of chopped celery to \make it perfect. To serve celery as a relish, remove outer stalks and slice the heart into several sections. Slit stalks to permit them to curl. Allow to stand in cold water, to which a little lem(on juice or salt is added, un- til ready tp serve.

Celery is delicious, too, used in soups and other cooked dishes, and adds flavour to various meat and fish dressings and sauces. It is rich in vitamins, a good blood tonic, good for the teeth and beneficial for the whole system. Scalloped Eggs and Celery.

Four tablespoons butter, 4 tablespoons flour, 2 Cups milk, .1 cup grated cheese, 4 hayd cooked eggs, 2 cups cooked celery, salt and pepper, butter- ed cruinbs.

Make a- sauce of butter, flour* and milk. Add grated cheese and seasoning. Place alternate lay- ers, celery and cheese sauce in -buttered baking dish. Cover with buttered crumbs and brown in a hot oven (400 Degrees F.). Oysters, Mushrooms and Celery.

One pint oysters, 1-2 pound mushrooms, 1 1-2 cups raw diced celery, 4 tablespoons butter, 4 ta- blespoons flour, 1-4 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon Salt, 2 cups liquid, L teaspoon Worcestershire sauce.

Drain oysters, cut in half. Saute mushrooms in -butter for 3 minutes. Prepare eeleiy. Make a sauce of the other ingredients and add oysters, mushrooms and celery. Turn into a buttered cas- serole and cover with buttered crumbs. Brown at 375 degrees F. for 15 minutes, or pile into patty shells or potato nests. Serves 6. Celery Soup

Three cups celery, 1 pint boiling 'water, 2 1-2 cups milk, 1 slice onion, 3 tablespoons butter, 3 ta- blespoons flour, salt and pepper.

Cut celery in one-half inch pieces. Cook in boiling water until soft and rub throug|i a sieve. Scald milk 'with the onion. Remove onion. Melt butter, -blend in flour and gradually add 'milk. Season with salt and pepper. Add celery pulp. Serve with croutons. If desired, part of diced celery may be kept apart and added with the cel- ery pulp. Celery-Apple Salad.

There are several different ways of combining celery and apples. (1) Mix equal amounts of cel- ery and Canadian-grown apples cut into cubes. Add a little salt. Mixi with mayonnaise or boiled dressing and serve on lettuce leaves garnished with celeiy tips. (2) Combine one cup diced celery with one cup of diced tart Canadian-grown apples and 1-2 cup of green peppers with boiled or may- onnaise dressing. Garnish and serve in the usual way. ' ‘

DESSERT TIPS

Have a good vanilla ice cream for dessert and serve each ball of it in a glass of grapejuice, other fruit juice or ginger ale. Another dessert idea is to make waffles by your favorite recipe and add ing a little grated orange rin^j for flavor. Serve the waffles either hot or cold with the following delicious orange sauc®. 0——

ORANGE SAUCE

Mix together 3 tablespoons of cake flour, 1-2 cup. sugar and a dash of salt. Add 3-4 cup of boiling water an,^ cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Pour a little over a. slightly beaten egg yolk and -beat vigorously, then return to the rest of the mixture and cook for a minute. Add 1 tablespoon butter, 1-2 (nip orange jnce, 2 table- spoons lemon juice, 3-4 teaspoon grated orange rind and 1-4 teaspoon grate;] lemon rind. Serve hot Or cold. Garnish the waffles with sections of orange. 9 0

MARSHMALLOW DESSERT ,

When the children come home for lunch before you have had time to prepare the dessert you had planned, or when guests drop in unexpectedly for a cup, of tea, prepare this delicately flavored tidbit. Take graham crackers and arrange in a pan or baking rack. Place a marshmallow on top of each cracker and toast- until the maT-slnnallow is puffv and delicately browned. 0 ^

A SANDWICH TRICK

When you serve a sandwich lunch to the chil- dren, you can make it more interesting if you try tills trick. Use anima,! shaped cookie cutters and cut the centres from slices of white and whole wheat brea.d. Syiread a plain slice of bread with the sandwich filling top with the -cut slice and fit the whole wheat figure into the opening of the white bread and vice versa. -

Picnic Older Than Name; Term Kno'wn Back in 1802

Picnics are a form of diversion In «•liioh rich and poor may share alike and have been Indulged In, though not always under the same name, for many centuries, writes a correspondent In the New Tork Times.

Down to mid-Vlctorlan times the word picnic was hyphenated. Austin Dobson lauds the charms of a girl who was acknowledged “Queen at a pic- nic.” The term Is said to date from about the year 1802. Then, as now, it was the custom for guests to supply the food and drink. A list of require- ments would be drawn up and passed around, each person picking out the Item which he was willing to furnish. This Item was then “nicked off” the list. Hence the term “plek-aud nlck," which was gradually shortened into picnic.

The Institution designated, however, is mneh older than the name. An ac count is extant of a picnic whltdi took place In the early part of the Seven teenth centnry, upon the birthday of Charlea, prince of Wales, afterward Charles I of England. In a letter to the earl of Arundel, dated November 22, 1618, Malnwarlng says: “The prince his birthday has been solemn- ized here by the few marquises and lords which found themselves here; and (to supply the want of lords) knights and squires were admitted to a consultation, where!!» It was resolved that such a number should meet at Qamiges, and bring every man hls dish of meat” Picnic it was.

Red-Green Color-Blind Refuse to Be Convinced

One man out of 20 Is decidedly color blind. As for women, less than one in a hundred Is ainicTed with defective - olor vision. Investigators And, states I writer in the Washington Post

Physiologists, psycliologllsts and phys- 'Cists, who have been seeking a solu- •iiin for the pi'oblem of color blindness, are constantly amazed by two curious 'hings about color-blind persons. First, ■olor-blind persons don't generally know they are color blind. Second. rhe.v resolutely refuse to be convinced tliat there Is anything wrong with i hetr color vision.

Tell a red-green blind person that this color Is red and that is green, and he will laugh at you, thinking you're trying to play a practical Joke on him. Not being able to distinguish between red and green, he Is likely to stroll down the street wearing a red suit, thinking all the time he is dressed In sober gray. Just like the famous Eng- lish scientist Dalton did many years ago’, to the shock of his Quaker friends:

Morse** Telegraph In 1832, Samuel F. B. Morse, an

American artist, conceived the idea which later he develtqied into the elec- tric telegraph and hls telegraphic al- phabet or code. Morse completed his first instruments in 1885 and during the succeeding eight years gave a niim- ber of public demon!d:rations. After several fruitless efforts, he obtained. In 1843, a gOTerhment appropriation to btUld .an expérimental telegraph line. Over this line, from Washington to Baltimore, üie first telegraph, mes- sage was transmitted on May 24, 1844. It was: “What hath God wrought?” With the sending of this message be- gan a new era In human history, for it marked the first snccessChl trans- mission of written word by electricity —a branch of communication which during the past 90 years has played an- important part In the. social and eco- nomic develdpmeni of America and of the world as a whole.

Baron von Steuben Frederick William Augustus Henry

Ferdinand, Baron von Steiibeq, was a Prussian officer on the staff of Fred- erick the Great, who came to -Anjerl- ca late In 1T77 and offered hls services to the Continental congress as a vol- unteer officer. General Washington at once appreciated the worth of such a trained soldier and made him inspec- tor general at Valley Forge. In spite of the hardships under which the army lived tliat winter Von Steuben changed them from a mob Into well drilled troops. As a reward congress gave him the rank of major general and in- spector general of the entire army. Upon retirement he was given a grant of land at what is now Steubenville, N. Y„ where he lived until his death in 1794.

The Aran People There are three Islands of Aran—

Inlshmore, Inlsheer and Inishmaan, comprising that group of lalands off the Irish coast.

The Aran people wear homespun clothing and pampooties, a sort of moc- casin fashioned from cowhide, and are Immensely interested when a traveler arrives attired In Bond street's newest products. The- white washed cottages and peat fires that are linked so in- timately with Irish history are there, and so are the fairly-tales. It Is a bleak land, with poor soil) but fish are plentiful. The land Is peaceful and unaffected by the bustle that has be- come a part of modern life.

Metal* in Small Coin*

The 5-cent piece was first minted in 1866 to replace the. 3-cent piece. Our .fi-cent piece contains ,75 per cent of copper and 25 per cent of nickel : that la. 57,87 grains of copper and 19.29 grains of nickel ; the 1-cent (liece contains 95 per cent of copjwr, 2.5 per cent of tin and 2.5 per cent of zinc ; that Is, 45.6 grains of copper and 1.4 grains each of tin and sine.

Dog Team Travel Is No Picnic for Passengers

Dog team travel is a slremious mat- !er fia- driver and passenger. Each iiog is hitclied to file sled. usuali.v by a .separate trace, and possibilities of disaster arc numerous. Trails are nar- row. often winding between rocks or throngli deep woods, 'l'iïe dogs weave in and out co'nstantly. and every few inile.s Icy traces must be untangled witii bare iiands. The driver must walk up every hill, and at the top be I'eady to fall on the sled before the frantic plunge down the opposite side. There are no springs in a ‘ komatik" and bruises accumulate rapidly. Not the least hardship for driver and pas- senger is the aroma of dead seal meat, which Is carried for dog food.

The dogs are guided entirely by the voice of the driver. Whenever tl»e leader is in doubt he looks around for a directing gesture. In adefttion to the cries of “Hodh Hodi” (right) and "Keepoff, Keepoff” (left), the I.ahra- fior driver incessantly “talks” to his dogs, to beep up their spirits and speed. This conversation ranges from I>romises of supper, and shouts of “look at the birds,'* to wordless gib- berish which leaves a driver hoarse by tile end of a day's Journey.

Antarctic Discovered by American Explorers

Commander Charles Wilkes in com- mand of the American exploring: expe- dition in Antarctic waters first sighted land January 19, 1840. Captain D’Ur- ville in command of a French expe- dition sighted a high mass thought to have been land covered with snow on the same day. .Actual land was not seen by the Krench until January 22, says I^athtinder Maga?:Ine.

Other explorers give full cre<lit to Wilkes especially In view of the fact that D’Urville did not drop a day from his calendar when ‘ crossing the one hundred and eightieth meridian to make tlie time correspond with the eastern hemisphere, making, the actual date of his seeing anything January ’20. The United States has claim to Ihe continent, as international law recognl55es discovery as the prime test of ownership. If any question to the validity of the claim should arise it would probably be settled by interna- tional arbitration. No trace of man or land animals has ever been discov- ered.

Alchemist* Ai<le<I Science Alchemy, the forerunner of the mod-

ern science of chemistry, was respon- sible for many of the basic facts known to ^liemists of the present. The alchemists labored, however, in a for- lorn cause, for tliey sought to turn baser metals into gold and silver, but despite their best methods, they never succeeded. J'hey employed a red preparatloTi known as philosophers’ stone which, they believed, would, if melted together with the baser metals, produce gold, while a white prepara- tion was supposed to produce silver. This same magical substance was also given wide medical powers by the superstitious and was a sort of cure-all forerunner of some of the modern cure-alls. Tlie work of the alchemists mystified the. populace and they were often suspected of possessing the pow- ers of a wizard. Most of the ruling houses of the early centurievS had al- chemists attacheil to the royal house- hold.

Canada’s Official Anthem According to the department of the

secretary of state, at Ottawa, the only anthem which has official sanction in rana.da is “God Save the King.” Tt Is always plaj'éd and sung as the offi- cial national anthem. However, “The Maple I.eaf Forever” Is often called Canada's national anthem. It iS known by almost every school child and Is widely sung throughout the dominion.

; Another song which is widely sung and probably the most distinctive pa- triotic song among Canadians of Frencli extraction is “O Canada.” But neither ‘-J’he .Maple T.eaf Forever” nor “O Canada,” according to the depart- ment of the secretary, of state of Canada, has official recognition.

Twenty-one Gun Salute

As far as our country Is concerneii, we simply copied the twenty-one-gun •saliito from the British: it has become the universal salute of powers of the first rank. The origin of it is not cer- tain. J’he old salute of one war vessel to anotlier waS of seven guns. Possl- , b.ly the old mystical significance of.the iiuiTiher seven set If at this figure. Shore batteries, with better supplies of powder, came to be allowed to fire three guns to, a ship’s one. After potassium nitrate came into general use in the manufacture of iiowder the number of guns for the naval interna- tional salute WHS raised to eijual the number of guns .given by land forces— that is, twenty-one.

Arctic and Antarctic Climate Climatic conditions have changed

in the .\rctic and Antarctic. It is believed that tr<*pical conditions exist- ed as far north as Greenland betwee;n the glacial epochs. No explanation has he^m offered to which tiie major- ity of scionrists subscribe.

DID YOU EVER

STOP TO

THINK? BY EDSON R. WAITE,

Shawnee, Oklahoma.

No towü can be greater than its citizens.

Some politicians seem to think they know it all, but do they ?

The most expensive thing a section can support is poor roads.

Some towns sleep and dream—dream of the days gone by when they were busy places. They never dream of the future, of the awakening ambition to again be bigger and busier towns.

A Chamber of Commerce is an organiza- tion of the people in the community who de- sire to forward its welfare and who believe that they can accomplish more through co- operative elfort.

‘•If some great power could raise the ghosts of the merchants of long ago and take them on a tour through our modern stores and newspaper plants, how astonished they would be,” so says James E. Barrett, manag- ing director of the Oklahoma Biltmore Hotel.

Home-town boosting is infections ; it spreads fast. It often keeps a community out of a rut. Boosting gathers momentum as it goes along. It gives pleasure, satisfac- tion and experience. It broadens the vision, destroys selfishness and makes everyone see the brighter, happier side of community work.

: The death of Airs. McLean on De- cember 30, although not entirely un- expected, came as a shock to friends and neighbors. She had long lived at 503 East Second Street and her home was open at all times to friends and neighbors, by whom she was greatly beloved. Since her last illness' of a month’s duration, during which she had been confined to bed, she had re- ceived the ministrations of residents of the neighborhood, all of whom were deeply grieved to learn of her pass- ing.

I am personally most grateful to you for your kind expression of sympathy, I have indeed to grieve the loss of one whose personal kindness towards me I shall never forget.”

The change, apparently cannot be made iji bill itself, which follows the Federal act, but an amendment

London Bridge Situated at Head of Navigation

I.x>ndon bridge is the first or f.Trth- est down of the bridges across the Thames at Ivotidon. It is situated at the head of navigation, about a half mile above tiie Tower of Loudon.

But the present London bridge Is not the one celebrated in the nursery song, nor in the proverb ro the effect^ that “TiOndon bridge was made for wise men tb [)ass over and fools to pass under.” Tlmi famous old bridge, which sl<K)d for more than GUO years, v>:is finally demolished more tliuu a '•enrury ago.

The site has probably been the lo- cation of a bridge from very early rimes in Ixondon’s history, notes a writ- er in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. But the earliest bridge in this location is not mentioned until the Eleventh cen- riiry. It was a wooden structure, which was destroyed by a storm and high ride November 16, 1091.

The first stone bridge, the famous bridge spoken of above, was built be- tween 11T6 and 1209 on a wooden foun- dation. It consisted of 20 arches. The roadway was 926 feet long, 60 feet above the water and 40 feet wide. Houses were built upon the bridge, and In the course of time it became a con- tinuous street with three openings on each side of the river.

The buildings on the bridge were repeatedly devastated by fire, most notably in the great fire of 1066. The eleventh span from the Southwark end formed a drawbridge flanked by a tow- er built in 1426, and on top of which were stuck the heads of persons exe- cuted for treason. All the superstruc- tures were removed In 1757. In 1832 the old bridge Itself was torn down, the new London bridge having been opened the year before.

Llamas Stubborn Beasts, as Queer as They Look

Llamas are as odd as they look. They are temperamental and, some people Insist, even stupid. They are faithful and yet stubborn when used as beasts of burden. And they are among the oldest beasts of burden on this continent, notes a writer in the St. lyouis Globe-Democrat.

When the Spanish conquered Peru they found llamas In great numbers being used as domestic animals by the Incas. Even today they are very com monly used to carry loads of over a hundred pounds in the Cordilleras, where they seem not to mind the cold and where they nibble their meager living from the scam mountain herb- age.

Perhaps it is his own good judg- ment which urges a llama to balk at climbing a glacier path and to refuse a rough and difficult trail. But the llama is sure-footed and strong andhis masters suspect that he could safel.v take as difficult a trail as any other creature, for he is at home on moun tain sides. Dntil 1850 llamas were the only animals employed by men as means of transportation in this South American mountainous -region.

Every part of the animal has some value. The females are kept for their milk. The meat is similar to mutton and Is a common food. The skin is made into leather and the coarse hair is used by the Peruvian Indians for weaving into fabrics.

Our Handwriting

The Insane cannot write coherently, the nervous cannot make smooth lines: the untutored cannot execute exact or well-formed characters. The.se are a few of the ^multitudinous conditions and environments of each and every individual who writes and they are in- delibly expressed by him In his hand- writing. according to Milton Carlson, handwriting expert. Therefore the writing, whatever it be. or however crudely or beautifully formeo. Is the reflection and identification of that per son—as clearly defined as the likenes.s of himseilf in a mirror. But hand- writing lasts “forever;” other things vanish.

Njiture Printing A scholar fingering old books on the

table of a second-hand b«.H»k shop fre- quently comes on a volume of poetry or a Victorian novel with a flower or leaf pressed among the pages. Some- times the form of the dried plant has been transferred in a brown stain to one page, says tlie New York Sun. To a botanist such a stain would be likely to recall certain voium.es of "nature printing” issued in the Eighteenth cen Inry. in which accurate \ records of leaves and whole plants were made by a kind of transfer process no longer generally practiced.

Gasoline Hazards Farley Gonaludes

Ottawa City By-Law On Inflammable Liquids to Be Studied

Ottawa, Jan. 25.—^The Hatinoal Conference o^ Regulation of Gasoline Hazards yesterday heard Ottawa and Winnipeg cited as two municipalities which possesses excellent by-laws re- gulating storage and sale by retail vendors of inflammable liquid.

The Ottawa by-law appeared to of- fer the maximum protection to life and property stated F. W. Cass, who submitted a preliminary report of the committee appointed to establish re- quirements foj. refail distribution and use of inflammable liquids, giving spe- cial details to safeguarding of hum- ans.

The committte suggested the Otta- wa by-law be studied with a view to making it, Pr. on© possessing its best points, a standard by-law for munici- palities throughout Canada.

•Statistics, according to the com- mittee, tended to. prove that one 'of the greatest causes o-f explosions and fires in private dwelling was house- holders, cleaning clothes and other ma- terials with gasoline.

^‘We are of the opinion that sale of this product to individual househol- ders, in small quantities, should be regulated some manner,” its re- port stated. Supervision and inspbe- tion of small clothes cleaning estab- lishments by civic authorities was re- commended.

Progress was made by the national committee and it was hoped that as a result ofthe meeting uniform regula- tions would shortly be in force ifor con- trol of the gasoline hazard. Standards were adopted with respect to flash points of dangerous liquids the question of transportation by road trucks from large storage tanks to service stations was dealf with.

Representatives of each province as well as the industries interested attended the meeting, which was pre- sided over by J. Grove Smith, Domin- ion Fire Commissioner, who called the conference. He announced that another meeting would be held on March 16.

Before the meeting ended the chaD- man made ^ touching reference to the loss suffeerd by the Empir© in the death of King George V.

Bounties for Making Canvas

As originally inlrM<im-efi into Kuu land, i'n the latter parr of the Sixieent!' century, canvas was cloth made or hempen threads. Time has changed the composition, alihougij the cloth re mains the same. Canvas or duck was made in America during the early Colonial period. Because a demand was created for It in shipbuilding, fishing and other Industries, efforts were made to promote its manufacture and bounties were given throughout the Colonial period. In May, 1726, in re.siponse to a petition of John Powell, a Boston merchant, who undertook to establish the manufacture of canvas If given proper encouragement, the Massachusetts asscmbl.v granted « bounty of 20 shillings for every bolt of canvas of specified dimensions and quality made in that colony.

A TOWNES BEST BOOSTER

A writer in. ,a current magazine ob- serves “if the newspaper is just a lit- tle 'better than its town, the latter is the gainer thereby.’’

Towns and their newspapers usually lag Or lead together. Progressive jour- nalism is the unfailing tonie of the lethargic community.

There is no bettoj* eommunity asset than a home new\spaper equal to the needs of the community. While a poor newspaper is better than none to the individual reader, that does not hold true for the town.

What can a good newspapoi. do for its community? It can serve as the town’s messenger to the outside world. It must take the leadership in all com- munity projects if they are to be siie- ecssful. It is the infallible line of communication between local govern- ment and citi23en. It is to tlie newspa per that all organizations turn for as- sistance in public welfare movements and without that assistance they face failure.

The newspaper reaps the reward of its initiative by sharing in the gen- eral improvement of business and community affairs it has been instru- mental in bringing about. The good newspaper deems it a pleasure to serve its community and its readers and is fully aware that it is only through giving a full measure of service that it can progress and prosper.

The Ottawa Spotlight

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

By Wilfrid Eggleston. y

Ottowa^ January^ 28,—Whatever il- lusions the Liberals may have had that their political victory would mean the early arrival of prosperity—such illusi|^D^, did not exist in the higher command—they must have been fair!}* well destroyed by now. It is obvious- ly going to be a long hard pull under any government. There is reason for satisfaction that conditions mend as well as they do; and that the direc- tion is right, even if progress is slow. But the throe or four super probleu^s which, rightly or wrongly, governments are called upon to solve, do not get much easier as time goes on. ITnem- ployment continues to bo the crux' of the whole affair: any government which cati provide a State of affairs in which every one finds employment win go down into history; any gov- ernment which fails to mend matters will simply go down. The Liberals were ciareful not to say that they would cure uniempidyraent or perish in the attempt, but they did say that their policies would encourage trade and work ,ahd when the day of trial comes, it will be the extent to which Libéral policies provided employment which will decide theij* fate.

FINAISTCIAL. OUTLOOK

Financial problems are still grave. The budget does not balance: and it takes a brave man to predict that it will balance even a year from now. Of course a good deal depends on book-keeping. A budget which will balance even when the deficits of the Canadian National, and all the char- ges of unemployment, capital and current, are piled on it, is a remark- able budget. When there is a surplus after all expenditures, the position of- thp country will be very strong, on this score. It is something to balance a budget so that department expendi- tures are all covered, and all bond in- terest .met—and we ha^e been ing that now for two years.

RAILWAY PROBLEM The'; railway problem does not get

simpler very fast. Indeed, the Cana dianv^Nationai did no better in 1935 than it did in l'^4. Gross earnings rose, but expenditures rose just as

sluggish mbvoment of grain wa^,’*b*f course, an adverse factor; and if, as it'seenib, theré'will-be heavier volume of wheat moving in' 1936, and a better level ‘ of oj^her merchandise, the Canadian National in 1936 may do very* much better than it did in 1935. When it, comes to pay its own way, if ever^ 'a load of ,$50,000,000 or

more annually will have been lifted from the federal taxpayer's shoulder —say $25 a year taxation for the average householder,

j WHEAT PROSPECTS I TÎie wheat problem is another col- ossal matter which is tantalizingly slow in improving. We h,ave been ex- pecting it to get better for six years. Now the immediate prospect is a good

' deal brighter. 'Canada dominates the ’world export picture for the next six m(in,’th8. We may sell as much as six Or seven million bushels a week till the end of the crop year. If we do,

* our stocks will again be normal, and we start on even keel again. But the long view is not particularly bright. European imports have in recent years been cut in half. A combination of heavy harvests in any two or three of

'the following countries: Canada Unit- ed States, Argentine and Australia,

* would again precipitate a serious world situation. At tho moment the main exporting countries are produc- ing, with an average yield, nearly double the importing capacity of tho European and other pations. It is es- pecially tough in outlook, for western Canada, large areas of which are suit- ed for wheat and precious little eise The best hope is that intense national- ism in 'Europe will abate and * our wheat—the best and cheapest for its quality in. the world—will come into its own again.

THE COMING YEARS On thé whole, the picture one gets

of the next two or three years is one of -careful reconstruction, paying off our debts re-establishing ourselves in world markets, improving our credit, with no extravagant expenditures, no flodk of; new government jobs, slow

j and steady improvement in employ- ment and trade. Not spectacular, not popular. FinaiK^l .iradicai^s will de-; nounec it vigorously, and call for a new way of looking at things. But we have an orthodox government in the saddle, and nobody can say that they represented themselves as anything very different last October. Other countries are trying to get out of the depression by novel and untried me- thods: Canada is evidently, following Britain and Australia.

The tariff experts at the capital arc working overtime. There are ap- plications an^ inquiries running into the tlioiisands to deal with. Some want high tariffs taken off, others want them to stay on. The budget will show to what extent these applications have succeeded.

Locksmiths' Art Shown in Rouen Museum Exhibit

An unusual museuin Is situated In this ancient capital of Normand.v. writt's a Rouen. France, United Press ••orrespondent. It is a museum con- taining specimens of the art of the imn worker and locksmith through the •ige.s. ■

The collection was started with the tc(luislrion of a few curious keys by

■I native of Rouen, .lean Louis Le •Aoeq. and then became a life passion with him and with his son, Henri, who ontlmied the work after his father’s

death.

The museum Includes primitive' sur- gical instruments. Strong boxes with corpplicated locks, ancient Iron work signs and numerous religious relics. One of the latter la an elaborate creche, or manger, surmounted by a crown which hung on a chain from the roof of a church. On It are the words :

“This was given by Charles Le Jeune and Marie Briault, his wife, both of this said parish,, and for whom a Te Oeum shall be chanted every Sunday as long as the creche shall last, 1743.*’

Three large cases at the museum contain only English keys of all va- rieties, including one which bears the royal monogram and the words “Horse Guard's."

Much of the collection in the mu seum dates back to the early days when every worker belonged to a trade guild, and before he could become a master of his craft he iiad to produce n masterpiece. Because of this... many of the exhibits are of particular inter- est from the standpoint of art and In- genuity.

English Mayor’s Cottage Is Relic of Mighty Past

If cottages could talk, wbat tales the I-K)rd Mayor’s cottage, at P»arton Mills, England, would have, to tell, notes a wTiter in the Washington Post

There would be stories of Viking raids in Anglo Saxon days, of the In rasion of Wlllinra the Conqueror, the signing of the Magna Charta and the '*omp and pageantry of Medieval Eng 'and. Us history Is British history.

The date of the cottage is not Known. But certain it is that the Vikings figured In its construction rhe lower beams are fashioned of chestnut, which was used In the Tenth, entury before oak became popiriar

The upper beams came from Vi king ships, wrecked in the wash of fhe sea nearby. The shape of the gon lola-Itke vessels can still be seen in the larger beams.

U antedates arrival of the Normans in 1066. Tt got its name from Sir Hen ry de Barton, who lived at Barton Mills »nd was Lord Mayor of London In the f’ifreentb century.

There are eight rooms in the an ■ •ient cottage. Tn the hall may be seen he trunk of a small tree. The anon

This bold assertion may arouse 'hose who believe rhe canary or night ingale to be supreme amongst bird musicians. But. whereas these birds pour forth their hereditary songs with -mt blemish, the blackbird, tiie profes -•«or affirms, creates music of Its own. improvising ‘‘strophes’’ on the spot, A tireless Inventor of new harmouy. the bird also has the true, artist’s iiatred of repetiiion. When inspired. It sings from 300 to 5(K) different melo- ■lies in a single day.—Tit-Bits Maga- zine.

Aztec Images Like Egyptian When Cortez and liis band of Span

ish compierors came to Mexico early in the Sixteenth century they met with stout resistance from the Aztecs, hîgi» ly civilized Indians. As the Spaniards despoiled the Aztec temples, pressing the natives into slavery, they discov- ered many carvings of Image.s and friezes. Indicating the existence of a well-organized religion. From a study Ilf the Idols and the decorations on rhe walls of the temples archeologists have noted Babylonian similarities. 1’he .\ztec religion was one of many gods, being in that respect like the pagan belief of ancient Greece and itome.

The Column of July

The Column of .Inly Is a fluted col innn of bronze on the place de la Bas- lille in Paris, dedicated on .July ‘28. ISIO. to the “French citizen.'* who fought for the defen.se of tlie ptibllc liberties on the memorable days of rhe 27th. 2Sth and ‘2inh of July. 1S3P." The column re.sls on a round base of white marble.

Many Foreign Inventors

Win Patents in the U. S. A survey by the Inventors founda-

tion reveals that many, of the impor- tant Inventions that have originated in the United States were made by those of foreign birth whose talent was given full scope and encourage- ment by the United Sr.«ates patent sys- tem. established In 1S36. Amcrlcab patent laws, according to the founda- tion.' have made tite United States the tnecca for inventions from all parts of the world, and have been one of rhe most Influential factors In econom- ic development.

Between 1790 and 1836 when the present patent system was established, 10.000 patents were granted. A large proportion of the most revolutionary patents have been the work of foreign- ers. who found their Inspiration in America,

John Ericsson, from Sweden, Invent- ed the “Monitor"; Alexander Graham Bell, coming from Scotland, Invented the telephone; Nicola Tesla, from Austria-Hungary, perfected the ind'uc- tioD motor; Michael J. Puplfl, a poor immigrant from Serbia, invented the loading coll that made It possible to telephone across the continent, and Charles P. Stelumetz, known as the electrical wizard, came from Germany.

Estimate Water Supply by “Weighing” Snowfall

Mountain snow packs of the West are “weighed" each winter to forecast ihelr springtime runoff for irrigation, water conservation and power proj- ects.

Deveioped as a result of a classical professor’s love^ for winter outings in he Sierra Nevadas. snow surveying

has grown to such an exact science that the flow of rivers and streams in the spring can be calculated to within 10 per cent or better.

In Itself, the surveying Is compara- tively simple, but dangerous work. Samples of snow are taken along •‘snow courses" selected as typical of rhe show fall. The shrveyors must follow difflcnlt raoiiutaln routes at high ‘•levatlon under arduous winter con- liitions. The only shelter available is tirovided by cabin* built along the route.

Foundations for the science of snow surveying were laid' by Dr. J. K. «■'hurch, of the University of Nevada, when he was profr'ssor of tlie classics many years ago. His interest In moun tain climbing In winter led hliri to speculation about the snow and eVeh- 'ually to thé development of a method i>f moasurltig it.

Pure Rubber Pure rubber is a sticky, plastic ma-

terial that is tiselesi for most of the’ purposes for which It is needed. It is a compound of carbon and hydrogen and; has the property of being chem- ically, unsaturaled—that is, capable of combining with a number of chemical reagents. To make ft elastic and heat- stable It Is combined wMtb sulphur. Ir is only within recent years that suc- cessful attempts have been made to combine It with-other things. The gas chlorine, for example, combines wltl) It quite readily to give a resinous ma- terial that is useful as a base for varnishes. With Ijydrochloric add a product is formed that can be molded into elastic, transparent sheets. The latest deyelopmeut in this line. is. that of oxygenated rubber. The combina- tion of rubber and' oxygen is a soft, plastic mass that can be readily mold ed but which on lieating sets Into a tough, hard solid.

This creature Is known only from .a single hone—a lower jaw. The only other claimant for the honor is the Eoanthropus, or dawn man, of England, whose remains are such a mixture of huraao and chimpanzeelike characters that anthropologists never have agreed as to whether they could possibly have existed in the same an- imal.

Lack of Purpose One of the greatest causes of discon-

tent and unhappiness in the world to- day, is the lack of purpose of the in- dividual life. It Is not possible that ail should have glorious ideals and really follow them. It is not possible that all men should be great, but each can have a purpose to which he can devote the time he can give. A pur- pose that can incori>orate a little use fulness to others and one which will open up wider channels for investiga- tion.

Wild Iceland Horses The United States is not the only

Silk Worms Leave Clear Trade-Mark on Threads

Silk worms leave marks of their in diviclualîty on the threads of silk they spin. This was discovered as n resul of an inquiry into difficulties wliicl; silk weavers encountered in producina a material of a uniform color. Differ onces in shade appeared in pieces o' goods that were proved^ not to be the fault of the dying process. The cause h.As been a mystery. Research work was started In the laboratories of the United States Testing company at Ho- boken ^and as a result it was found that the fault Is due to the persona! idiosyncrasies of the silk worm, as- serts a writer in the New York Herald Tribune.

Some of the silk worms eject a thread that Is broad and flat and oth ers a tliread that is tpore nearly cir cular. Tlie round threads vary in di- ameter. If a variety of the threads are put Into the same dying vat they come out different shades. The broad flat threads take a darker shade than the circular threads and among the round threads, the ones of larger di- ameter become darker than the ones of small diameter.

A study of fibers from three dilfer- ent breeds of silk worms each raised In six sections In Japan from the northernmost to the southernmost lat- itudes, including spring and autumn crop, was made. It was found that the shape of the thread varied with the breed and within the same breed It varied with th latitude. The thrends produced in the spring were larger.

Cape Breton Isle Dates Back to the 1500 Period

The Island of Cape Breton In Nova Scotia was so named by Basque or Breton fishermen after a cape of the same name In their own country. On maps dating back as far as lo27, says a Sydney. Nova Scotia, writer, it was identified as C de Breton, and later, on other maps, as Terro de Breton and Cap au Bretons.

Cape Breton island is the oldest French name in American geography. Basque fishermen settled its shores first, but now. although there is a French settlement on the west coast, where the old tongue Is still spoken, the island is predominately a High- land Scotch district, thousands of Scotchmen having come there from the old country during the last two cen- turies.

In ancient times It was also known for a time as "Baccalos." Basque for codfish. The MIc Mac Indians knew it as “Conamaagik," meaning "Home of the True Men,’’ in the days when they rnied the island.

Intelligent, Smart There Is a world of difference be-

tween being smart and being intelli- gent. Not all Intelligent persons are smart; that is, clever, capable, adept. Intelligent denotes merely the posses- sion of an ability to exercise mentalfty. a readiness of comprehension, a ca- pacity for thought. Smart denotes a dashing ability, by no means Implied by Intelligent, and now carries a sug- gestion of unscmpnlousness. similar to that of sharp, which makes its use a doubtful compliment. A smart per- son may be intelligent, and an intel- ligent person may be smart. Posses- -slon of both qualities may lead to an extreme of shrewd unscrupulousness or to an extremely high mental capacity. —fJterary Digest.

Lee’> Invasion of Pennsylvania The Dictionary of American ’ Biog-

raphy states that General I^ee’s inva- sion of Pennsylvania, which resulted In the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1, 2, and 3. 186.3. was undertaken for three reasons: (1) to supply his army; (2) to strengthen peace sentiment in the North by showing the futility of the effort to force the South into submis- sion; (8) in hopes that he could com- pel Lincoln to detach troops from the far South and thereby relieve the pres- sure on Vicksburg, This hard-fought battle is often regarded by historians as the turning point of the Civil war.

Completing the Suez Canal Men dreamed of severing the con-

necting. isthmus between Africa and Asia long centuries ago, but until the middle Nineteenth century the project remained a dream. Then, in 18.54. a Frenchman, DeLesseps, obtained a con- cession from the Khedive of Egypt, and began the actual digging, financing the work by public sale of stock. In 1809, haVing encountered numerous ob- stacles and spent more than twice the estimated sum, the engineers com- pleted the Suez canal.

Old War Pictures

Probably the largest collection of war pictures In the world Is owned by the United States government This library, tn the custody of the War de- partment, was started in 186 Iby Mat- thew B. Brady, who obtained President Lincoln’s permission to follow the armies and take pictures. The collec- tion contains 7,200 pictures made by Brad.v. for which he received the then munificent sum of $25,000. ,

Ship Funnels The old—and mysterious—presence

for a ship with three or even four fun- ii(*!s still lingers in the mind's of many travelers. Probably it dates from the time when a ship big enough'to have inore than one smokestack was a nov- elty. and each additional funnel was held to indicate increased size, speed and safety. With this in mind, per- haps, designers have frequently given liners dummy funnels.

Final INSTALMENT When Fisk eaucelïed their second

reservation Gloria wont to bed. There seemed to be nothing seriously wrong with her . and in fact there was nothing to matter except a broken heart.‘Eacohorseg are like that —^they will nijj until their hearts break, until there is not another gal- lop in them; and Gloria was from thoroughbred stock. The* desert had beaten her.

A few days later Fisk wired to the port for the best doctor available, aiid the latter came up on a special loeomo- motive. AVTiat the doctor said drove out of the husband’s mind all ^thoughts of oil, of fwhing jobs, of Homestake Number One. A nurse was secured as quickly as possible and meantime the physician stayed on.

Fisk did not return to the well; ho hung about the Iiousc, a dumb figure of suspense. Gloria no longer knew him and that was terrifying. He was like a frightened child, deserted and alone. Every whisper that issued from her lips was like a knife-thrust. He did not sleep; his eyes grew blood- shot from the tears that came when over he left the sick room.

and agony consumed him. H's mind . was galloping, running away, and he ^ talked incessantly, but with a thick tongue and without finishing his sen- tences. Yes. He had killed her. He had staked Her. out 0^ the blistering des- ert as the Apaches staked out their prisoners, leaving the sun to wreak its torture.

’ ■\Vliat was tliat the doctor had said? If Homestake had come in she would have lived? Oh there were dpvils in this valley. They were in the air, in the daggor points that armed the cacti and the bloodbuslios. Yes, and other demons were on the rock beneath the hills. Those latter were the worst, for they collected in the bottom of oil wells juid cut cables; they deflected fishing tools; they filled threads ani sockets with mu<| and grit. Malignant devils. The Homestako ■wtas full of them.

I An instant determination took slow hold of Fisk. He went out and crank- ed U'p his flivver, mumbling to the nurse that it was necessary for him to go out and look after thè job. Com- pany affairs ,hc told her, wildly, had to proceed, even if girl wives died and their husbands went crazy with

Then in the open doorway appeared the figure of a man,

The doctor and the nurse watched him covertly and more than once they found him muttering words as sense- less as those that fell\from the sick" wife’s ;lips.' He wildly cursed him- self and the desert.

Nature finally exacted toll for the way he had cheated her^ and although ho ached intolerably for sleep, he ar- rived at ax^condition where he could

' not cjljose hi-rf eyes; when h!e lay down his brain began to race and black fancies dr,oye him sighing out of his bed.

One morning when the brazen sun Tose over the hills and began again to pour its hatred into the valley, the doctor told, him as gently as possible that the end was near and that he must prepare himself. It was merely a question of time now. a aue.sticn of hours, when the tired heart would cease to function. Gloria was in no pain; furthéy stimulants were useless, they would merely serve to hasten that inevitable moment when thp

, weight of licj. lungs would prove too heavy for her feeble breadth to lift.

Donald groaned. If only she would revive enough to nM!ognize him, to give him one word^ one look. He would know then that she forgave him. But foj. her to slip a-way without even a smile, a kiss—God, nol ,

^^It isn’t,a case where any sort of medicine caj^ do much good,” the doc- tor explained. ”l’ve had other cases like it. Nothing organically wrong, but—you understand! It’s the coun- try^ I guess. The heat or the monotony or—^hope deferred maybe. We have a lot of it down here. If your well had come in, I’m sure she’d have rallied.”

The husband sat most of that day in a trance waiting for his hideous dream to end. Sometimes ho bowed his head in his hands, but the other watchers could not toll whether it was tears or sweat that ran down betwee.'i his fingers. They fameied it must bo the latter, however, for his grief was too abysmal for tears.

Late in the afternoon Fisk heard the little brown Goya children play- ing in the road. They were laughing! He groaned alound. Children I Gloria and he had wanted children, but there agaiji the desert had thwarted them. This was no country for w’hite women. A man might as well lock his wife in a furnace and expect her to bear children.

So Gloria was dying. And he had killed her. He rose and creaked about the house, wringing his hands.. His mental numbness was wearing off now

grief. Companies were like that—rsoul- less and unfeeling—just like devils— great joke on ;eompany managers, was- n’t it? They put in their lives, they sWtated their^- souls .white, and’ got —this. Damn all companies!

The car shot away and went rocking, pitching dowu the road.

McKay and his men were asleep when their employer arrived; he did not awaken them. The desert moon was bright enough to read by, so he flung himself out of the ca^. and pick- ed his way to the shanty where the nitroglycerine was stored. The ex plosive was just as he had left it three weeks before; he carried it out into the light and poured it into the long tin contaiaier designed for lowering into the welL He worked swiftly and with nO more caution than if he were handling so much hibxicating oil. The torpedoes, when filled, he carried in upon the derrick floor; then he ran a thin manila line through a block, and the end of this he made fast to the first cÉ^artridge

So! Those little devils would drop his tools, would they? They’d wreck the well, bankrupt the company, and make him lose his boat, eh? Murder- ers that’s what they were. They had murdered Gloria. By HiavenI two could i>!ay at that game!

He let the long, shiny torpedo slip quietly into the casing mouth so as not to give them warning of what he had i^ mind.

AleKay and his crew were awaken-, ed by a peculiar sensation; it was as if their beds had been lifted a few inches by the upward thrust of a thickly padded piston and then drop ped.

^‘Hey! Who kbfked my bunk ” in- quired the driller as he sat up.

A startled voice answered him ^‘Tha.t’g funny! Me too. Did you fcl- 1-ows hear anything?”

One man had, another had not. Soinobody .suggested »sii earthquake— anything was likely to happen in this accursed country. They were ar guiug .stupidly in the dark wheu Mc- Kay spoke with all trace of sleepiness gone from his voice:

^‘Hark! . . . My God, listen!’* An instant then ho was out upon

the floor and the others had followed him. They stood strained, alert. At first the hush of the desert was aa complete as that of a tomb; then from somewhere came a long, sighing ex. halation, not unlike breath issuing from the lungs of a wounded giant. It was an eery, penetrating sound, close

yet far away; it came from nowhere, from everywhere, and- it raised the hair upon the necks of the listeners. Together they tumbled out of the shanty.

There was nothing in sight except the Homestake derrick, a gaunt skele- ton silvered by the moon; neverthe- less that sigh grow, second by second, and as it continued it changed into a whistling moan, indescribably blood-curdling. The men realized fin- ally that it came from the well. And yet that was. impossible! The soil be- neath their feet was trembling now'; from the casing mouth issued a vi- brating rumble^ a rasping, gasping, gurgling rdar.

Then before theip staring eyes an amazing thing took place. Homestake Number One vomited into the night a geyser of black mud and water and broken stone. The burden came with a great retching, as if coughed out from the very vitals of the earth, but oddly enough, instead of diminishing, the jet mounted higher, moment by moment, alone with the pitch of the sound that came with it. It sprayed up, up climbing the eighty foot derrick section by section, until the crown block was hidden. It stood there fin- ally, a tremendous fountain belching its rage up towards the empty sky. There was the rush of many waters; the desert was drown beneath a de- luge; there came a raw penetrating odoj. oif gas and pertoleum.

Homestake Number One had como in.

The valley had flung off its suffo- cating sbroud of heat; for a few hours at last tliere was respite. the liv- ing room of the Fisk home the doctor and the nurse were talking quietly, so.berly; occasionally thty stopped and listened, foj out of the night came a monotonous note like the hoarse blast of a siren many miles away. Fin- ally through this irritating monotone came another sound^ Hie approaching rattle of a rickety automobile. The road was illuminated by the glare of headlights^ then in the open door way there appeared the figure of a man i^ dripping, oU-soaked garments which the dust of the road had ren- dered indescribly foul. His hair was matted, his face was smeared, his shoes were sodden, and when he step- pe they oozed a sticky liquid the col- or of tar. He had, it seemed, been plunged into a lake of oil, then rolled ill dirt, for he reeked with the smell of crudç petroleum.

It was Donald Fisk. He stood rocking upon the threshold; the whit^ of his eyes glared idly as he fixed his gaze upon , the bedroom door; he tried to voice a question, but the dust was thick in his throat and he failed.

The doctor approached him, laid a hand upon his greasy sleeve, and spoke in a lo.w tone: ‘'She is—asleep!”

Fisk fluUg off the gn*asp, lifted his arms <m high and uttered a cry of despair. “Gloria! Gloria—” He clenched his grimy fists and shook them, he began to curse in a hoarse, horrible, cloaking., voice.

“Hush!” The doctor seized him again, struggled with. him. “Man! You don’t understand. She’s asleep! She’s better!”

Fisk comprehended nothing at first except the sharp admonition for sil- ence; that was all his brain could compass.

“The change came an hour ago. She has a chance. Heaven only kn-ows what happened—”

There was 'a breathless pause while Donald Fi^k slowly groped his way Up out of uttcr blacjkness. In the sil- ence could be heard that same faint monotone. It sounded ‘like the dis- tress signal of some distant liner^ the whistle rope of which had been tied down-

“It was a miracle, Mr. Fisk!” the nurse piously asserted. “Strength came to her out of nowhere. She be- gan to breathe more easily, her heart grew stronger—” . “It was the well! She was waiting —waiting. It came in an hour ago* Don’t you hear it?”

“Quiet! Not so loud.’* But the husband was deaf to cau-

tion. “Her soul was waiting, hover- ing—She wouldn’t have me as long as there was hope—” A convulsion racked the oil-soaked figure, “Home stake came in like a lion, like a thou- sand lions, roaring belching—” His voie© brokc^ he choked. “It’s the big- gest well in the country! Twenty thou- sand barrels a day Or more. My head’s splitting from the noise. It drowned me—deafened me! When I saw it was oil I—I cursed God! ” The speaker turned lurched blindly to the wall* and, resting -hig head iu his hands, be- gan to sob like a little boy. “I stood there with my face to the ^y and

cursed God!” Toward^ morning Gloria stirred,

opened her eyes, listened, then smil- ed contentedly at her husband. He had to bow his head dose to catch her whispered words: “Our boat! I was so tired! I thought I couldn’t wait any longer. Then—I heard it coming in—our ship!”

“Yes; dear” He pressed his hun- gry lips to her cheek. “You waited, and our ship came in.”

Toronto, .January 29th, For the first time in the history of Ontario,

Sesesuon Of the Provincial Legisla- ture was postponed on th© . eve of opening because of the death of the Ruler of the Baitish Ilmpirc As token of their sorrow and in ac- cordance with the period of mourning, the Ontario » Oalwuet postponed the special Session of the House called to deal with the Provincial ‘ Income Tax.

The death of the kindly Monarch has changed the plans of the govern- ment in several resj>ects. Tlicrc will be no special session as planned and th© Opening-of the Legislature on Tuesday, February 11th, will be strip- ped of its social asi>ccts. Tho legisla- tors will i>lunge immediately into their work after tho reading of the Speech from th© Throne and the voic- ing of sorrow at the passing of the late King.

Acting Premier H. (’. Nixon was to have led the government in the spe- cial session in tho absence of Premier Hepburn. 33tit with tlie change in j planSj I^rcmicr Hepburn himself will t be present when the Hou-sc opens. This intimation was conveyed to his 'CoJlojjigues, i.the other day. Th© Pre-[ mier is suffering from a heavy cold i but he is understood to have told Mr. j

Nixon that, notwithstanding his ill- health, he wôuld bo in his seat wheu th© second session of the 19th Le- gislature gets under way. This news was received with enthusiasm by the rank and file of the Liberal member ship, as well as by the cabinet 'minis tors themselves. '

Just how long the Premier will re- main at the" helm is inost uncertain, in view of his state of health and his declaration some mouths ago that this session would bo liis last. Health per- mitting, he will stay on but it would seem as though this v©ry question o*f his well-being will not be settled sat- isfactory. until he relinquishes the responsibilities o,f office.

“We are hoping for the best,” one member o^' the cabinet said. “We need him at Queen’s Park and I think the Province needs him even more.” Allegiance to the new King was sworn

by the cabinet and the members of the Legislature will lake new oaths when the House convenes. Legal documents have been changed to bear the name of King Edward the Eighth and over the Speaker’s ehaij. in the Chamber, the familiar . ‘ ‘ G.R. ’ ’ . has been removed and “E. R.’’ put in its place. Govern- ment stationery will be black-border ed for some months to come.

The King is dead and his royal son rules and the Legislature of the Pro- vince -of Ontario, together with Houses of Parliament and legislature through- out the vast Empire, swear allegiance to the mighty throne. 0—

Poterboro Examiner It finally gets under the skin to

hear said “The radio seems to get its news faster than th© n<‘\v8papers”.

Let us try and make this point clear. The radio companies are not news gathering ogeucies. They get their news from th© newspapers or from associations of newspaper.s like th© Canadian Press or Associated Press,

Radio stations do not maintain a staff of reporters or news editors to gather their material and theu put it in shape for use. New’s is first gather- ed by the staffs of newspapers all over the country; it is then forward- ed to the central statious for distribn tion by wire service to other newspa-

The new® gathering service.s main- tained by the newspaper supply the news which comes over the radio. 0

Afghan Hound Extremely Speedy; Ancient Breed

Far back in the history of Afghan i.stan the Datives of that country de veloped an exceedingly efficient lumt- ing dog. This was before Christ and the exact date Is lost In antiquity But the breeii has persisted througli the ages and comes down to cs known as the Afghan hound, says a writer in the Detroit News.

It is rarely seen In thise country yet there are a few owmers and breeders, most confined to eastern United States.

T!»e dogs are shaggy-coated, fine muscled animals weighing about sixty pot?nds. They are extremely speedy and quick when running. Their cour age can be Judged when It Is known that they were^ considered the best breed of dogs to run and attack jack als and leopards. They stand about twenty-seven inches high at the fore shoulders, and are not uerlike a collie in appearance but with a more lithe body.

Afghan hounds are shy and are no; given to making friends quickly htu once they become attached to theii master they become the personilicatiori of faitlifiilness anl loyalty.

Properties of Dyes The layman usually thinks of dyes

as sulAStances that have color. This concept is not quire correct, says 'rinimas M. Beck in the Chicago Trlb une. It is essential that a dye havc two other properties; It must attach itself to the fabidc to which It is ap piled, and It must sUy there to a rea sonable degree in spite of washing and exposui-e to weather. It just happens that heretofore the only property thar we desired to attach to fabrics was that of color.

There Is a certain coal tar dye long known to the textile Industry as mar this yellow. Tt had been observed that moths steered clear of woolen goods dyed with tills particul.ar dye. Unfor- tunately, no other worth-while dyes could be Tound which possessed this propert.v.

Leading Canadian tobacco manu- facturers have abandoned the pre* miuin schemes which have for some years been a feature of the business. The new policy is already effective.

Representations from tobacco job- bers and retailers have been the pri- mary cause e:f the change officials state. A large share of profit will now* go direct to these traders, it is said, while in addition the retail trade gen- erally will benefit from sales hithertO' diverted through the premium plans.

Although premiums are ' now dis- continued cards still in circulaiton will bo honored until June 30. Somi of th© premium stores will be closed before that date, as leases expire, and exchanging ^of premiums for cards slackens off, but the busier store» will rcnvaiii open until the end of June.

Canada's New Mnnarcli Our Dominion of Canada has many

claims to the Empire’s new King Ed- ward VIII and the tics which bind us with our ruler are particularly strong.

It will be remembered that during the Great Wap our present King wh.> was then Prince of Wales saw active service .with the Canadian Corps in France and naturally became the idol of the Canadian troops. Some years later he purchased a ranch in West- ern Canada to which he has come as frequently as his onerous duties would permit and in a recent state- ment he has made it plain that he sees no reason why even as King he should not be able. to spend a few weeks each year on his ranch in Al- berta.

For these and many othcp reasons Canadians rejoice upon the occasion of the accession to the 'throne of King Edward VHI. Oup new King has similarly travelled from time to time throughout the length and breadth of the Btiitish Empire and has endeared himself to his people in every’ corner of the globe. It is evi- dent that through the close associa- tions he has formed in this way King Edward VIII has greatly strengthen- ed the* position of the British Mon- archy and has helped to no small ex- tent in binding the lEtaipire closer to- gether.

Queen Mother Voices Ihanks Expresses Gratitude to People of

Empire For Their Sympathy.

LONDON, Jan. 29.—Q^een Mary tonight issued from Buckingham Pal- ace a message of gratitude to the people of the United Kingdom and all the Empire for their sympathy in connection with the death of King George.

The message was as follows: “X must send to you, the people

of this nation and the Empire, a message of my deepest grati- tude for all the sympathy with which at thig time of sorrow you have surrounded me.

is indeed a gratitude so deep that I cannot find words to express it. But the simplest words are the best. I can only say with all my heart that 1 thank you.

^.‘In my own great sorrow, I have been held up not only by the strength of your spmpatby but also by the knowledge that you shared my grief, for I have been deeply moved by signs so full and touching that the pass- ing of my dear husband brought a real sense of personal sorrow to all his subjects.

*^In the midst of my grief, I rejoice to think that after his reign of 25 years, he lived to know he received the reward in overflowing measure of the loy- alty' and love of his people.

Although he will be no long- er at my side—and no( words can tell how I shall miss him— I trust that with God’s help I may still be able to continue some part at least of the service which for 42 years of married life we tried together to give to this great land and Empire.

‘^During the coming years, with all the changes which they must bring, you will, I know, let me have a place in your thoughts and prayers.

commend to you my dear son as he enters upon his reign in confident hope that yon will give to him the same devotion and loyalty which, you gave so abundantly to his father.

^‘God bless yon, my dear people, for all the wonderful love and sympathy with which yon have sustained me.’’ 0

ciation in Kingston.

KONGSUON, Ont-, Jan. 29.— AU, cheese offered for sale should pass through a recognized cheese board, the Ontario Cheese Patrons ’ Associa- tion resolved at their annual meeting here today.

The selling o“f all cheese on any other board must be under control of the local board who shall designate all selling agencies, it ig urged. The re- solution also suggested all cheese buy- ers should be bonded to the extent of coverage of their average purchases between payments to sellers.

Quality Big Question.

FraUk Hearns, of ./London, chief dairy instructor for eastern Ontario, warned delegates the work of. the dis- tributor was not ended when his milk for cheese making was turned over to the factory.

A CANADIAN EDITOR TELLS OF MEETING WITH THE NEW KING

By D. B, MacRae, Editor of the Regina Leader-Post.

Last January in London the writer had the privilege of meeting the Prince of Wales, now Sovereign of the British world. At London delegates to the Em- pire Press conference in South Africa were entertained at dinner by the Wor- shipful Company of Stationers, one of the ancient English guilds that now includes the wealthy publishers of London news- papers. Chief speakers at the dinner held in the guild’s ancient hall, were Edward, Prince of Wales, and Rt. Hon J. H. Thomas, secretary for the Domin- ions. Mr. Thomas—greeted from the audience with cries of “Good work, Jim- my,”—was highly informal, cheerfully entertaining, with sallies at his newspaper friends and at the chairman of the even, ing, Major John Astor, proprietor of The Times.

The Prince of Wales spoke from manuscript, which was pretty well out of sight. We were told afterward that h® prepares most of his own speeches. Hij Royal Highness was sure and easy- different from impressions we had gather. ( d of him as a nervous young man who was afraid of crowds. The Prince had sly remarks to make about his friend, Mr • Thomas, which were received with gales of laughter.

He talked about the importance Of newspapers but remarked that as the newspapers were already thoroughly aware of that fact there would be no sense in dwelling upon it. He talked about his own Empire interests and men- tioned his ranch in Alberta. Was it a “ranch” or a “rawnch ? ” There was a difference, he said. If the place kept you it was a ranch ; if you kept it the thing was a “rawnch.”

The dinner over, the guests were given

an opportunity to meet His Highness. He shook hands with all but for the visit- ors from abroad he had a special word, inquiring where they came from and how matters were progressing in their own communities. He knew something about the drouth in Southern Saskatchewan.

Later the editor of the Leader-Post had a lO-minute talk with His Royal High- ness at which the heir to the Throne talked freely of his Alberta ' ‘stake.” He could, he said, regard himself as a typical farmer—the place wasn’t making a penny We told him the story of the Englishman who had bought a fruit farm in the moun- tains of Brifish Columbia and who report- ed in town that he was having a rather hard time ot it—he had fallen off his ranch twice in one day.

His Royal Highness inquired for a number of Canadians—to whom he re- ferred most informally—recalling plea- sant associations of his ^Canadian visits. He wore evening dress with decorations.

It was nearly midnight when the func- tion came to an end. The Prince’s car arrived and the taxis pulled to One side and a group otTolk stood around while H.R.H. jumped in and the car whirled off into the Loiidon night. i

A day or two later one of the Cana- dians reported that he had caught a glimpse of the Prince of Wales sitting in an ordinary taxi that swung around a London dorner.

Persons who saw the Prince of Wales 1Ü years ago were struck with his boyish- ness. Much of that is gone. He still smiles pleasantly and jokes readily but he has a poise and a seriousness that sug- gests the toll and responsibility of the years. A good guess would be that he has a mind of his own.
