THE LAND OF LINGER LOO
A lullabye for the cradle roll boys and girls of Carbon.
(By Swan Tichborne)
Close your eyes, Ma’s darling baby, And see the fairy train
That takes you to the land of dreams And brings you back again.
It takes you to a land of rest, Where skies are ever blue,
And you see the baby’s sunshine
In the Land of “Linger Loo.”
There you'll see the fairest fairies All decked in glistening stars,
Their hair is golden tresses
And they ride in golden cars;
Their lips are moist with sweetness, Like lillies dipt in dew,
And their eyes are always sparkling In the Land of “Linger Loo.”
There the grass is burnished silver And the trees are burnished gold; There the flowers are ever blooming, For they’re never, never old;
There you see the rosiest roses,
And blue bells of bluest blue,
And each petal on the daisy
Means a kiss in “Linger Loo.”
So close your eyes my darling
And see the fairy train
That takes you to the land of rest.
And brings you back again;
For there’s an eye that’s ever watch- ing,
And a hand to guide you through
The beauty spots of slumberland,
The land of “Linger Loo.”

A NEW STORY ABOUT KING EDWAR) VIII
(Maywood Syndicate)
How the present King of England called on Fannie Bruce when he visit- ed the United States as Crown Prince, is told for the first time by the come- dienne herself in her memoirs in the March Cosmopolitan.
“One afternoon,” she said, “I had just returned from an auction house. T had never felt so untidy and grimy in my life, and I looked it. The door- bell rang and I went to the door my- self,
“There stood Johnny Wanamaker, Jr. ,an vld friend) his brother-in-law and a slight, blond young man with nothing particular about him to dis- tinguish him from any clubman of the day. Johnny introduced him by some commonplace English name.
“I made my excuses and went into the bedroom to groom myself. There I saw the nurse, Her eyes were like saucers—she looked frightened. ‘What is it? What’s wrong? I asked.
“That is the Prince of Wales in there!”
“You're crazy,” I said.
“No, no—go look downstairs; there are five bodyguards! Hobby’ — that was the English elevator boy—‘re- cognized him from his pictures.”
“T returned to the dining room, and sure enough, there was the much pub- licized face of Edward Albert, Prince of Wales,
“T was careful to show no signs of recognition, but when I ushered him into the living room and he admired the petit-looking upholstered chair he was about to sit down in—which I had bought at the auction—I laughed and said: ‘Yes, take that chair; and when I come to sell it, I’ll get twice as much because you sat in it.”

I am a nickel, I am not on speaking terms with the candyman, I am too small to get in the movies. I am not large enough to buy a neck- tie, I am of small consideration in the purchase of gasoline. T am not fit to be a tip—But believe me, When I go to church, I am SOME- BODY.

Speech From Throne in Legislature WHITEHORSE, Y.T—Fire of un-
The debate on the Speech from the Throne was continued in the legisla- ture on Monday, when our Govern- ment member, E.P. Foster took the floor. In part, Mr. Foster said:
“In continuing the address to the Speech from the Throne I am _ not going to follow exactly the precedent set forth by my colleagues who pre- ceded me. In most cases they have proceeded to chastise the leader of the opposition, and I believe that a bad boy can be made worse by con- tinually nagging at him. Therefore, I intend to refrain, as far as possible, from attacking the leader of the op- position, and may say that in this house the leader of the Conservative party seems to have overlooked, pos- sibly due to the more or less mannerly way in which he carried out his cam- paign, and partly due to the fact that it is not considered British justice, to attack one who is not properly pro- tected in numbers.
“Many of the members of the op- position have repeatedly asked why our Hon. Premier has not started the moulding of this province into a So- cial Credit plan long before this; but it would have been just as dangerous to build the frame-work of a new economic structure without first lay- ing a firm foundation, as it was for the Romans to leave their defenceless slaves to the gentle mercies of the invading Greeks and Gauls. And I be- lieve that our Hon. Premier has shown the most alert judgement in first laying a foundation of rock upon which to build.
tirely built since August 22, 1935, but was started some three years ago when our Hon. Premier first started educating the people of this province. He, too, like the Romans, knew that he must have the great mass of peo- ple at his back, and in the early stages he deliberately set out to educate the people as to what was theirs by heri- tage and had deliberately been taken from them by the financier who had a strangle hold on the credit of the people,
“We frequently hear of large classes of pupils in some of our schools, but this is the first time in history that any man, single handed, taught seven hundred and thirty thousand people from the primary grades to gradua- tion in three years and one half. And we know they have graduated, because on August 22, of last year they ex- pressed themselves is no uncertain terms as to the knowledge of the sub- ject, and I believe, without fear of contradiction, that the people in this province are ready to stand behind our Hon. Premier until the last.

Making And Unmaking Deserts
—
The area known to-day as the prairie provinces of Western Canada appeared on the maps a few ceades back under the designation “Great American Desert”.
That was a misnomer, Known only to a handful of people who wanted
to maintain the area as a preserve for fur-bearing animals. The truth was that the great bulk of this large territory was not only not a desert but was covered with a luxuriant turf and a substantial portion of it was the habitat of trees and shrubs
Like most truths this verity came to light and thousands of people ked in, converted millions of acres into farmsteads and proved that the i was good and capable of producin and livestock in abundance
After taking possession of this newly-discovered heritage the settlers proceeded to develop it. The sod was turned over, at first a few acres at the time but later, with modern equipment more accessible, they plowed it up by the square mile and grew grain in huge fields. Trees were cut down and every shrub torn out by the roots. Mile long furrows without an im- pediment was the objective. Prairie sod, except for small reserves for pas- ture disappeared. Trees and shrubs vanished,
Then came the summer-fallow method of cultivation to give the land rest from cropping and permit it to store up a reservoir of moisture for a succeeding crop. In this process the land was worked up into a fine tilth-turned into dust, the finer the better, it was thought.
By the time this system had become well established, the humus and root fibre of the original prairie sod was well worked out and the soil be- came finer texture each succeeding year. Then came the drought, several years of it for some sections, and during this period the high prairie winds whipped the fine dusty soil into the air, drove it hither and yon, piling it up against fences and buildings and covering highways and what pasturage remained,
fi
g g
quality grains, grasses, vegetables
a
In some districts the fine soil was swept off down to hardpan and that is the plight of these districts to-day. If these reckless methods are con- | tinued, the denuded area will increase in size and unless an extensive pro-| gram of rehabilitation is followed the time may come when the “Great | American Desert” will be a reality instead of the misnomer it once was.
There is abundance of evidence that man can and does make deserts, as witness W. L. Lowdermilk, associate chief of the Soil Conservation Ser- vice, United States department of agriculture, who declared in a recent magazine article that the of civilization “may be interpreted in terms of soil erosion, so direct is the relation between the productive con- dition of soils and the prosperity of the people.”
history
Mr. Lowdermilk refers to archaeological discoveries demonstrating that the Sahara and Asian deserts, arid parts of Palestine, Mesopotamia and the Gobi and North China deserts were once teeming with human life and out- lines the process which eventually converts fertile lands into areas of arid- ity and sterility.
Many students have attributed desiccation and the consequent drying up of streams to the removal of forests, , That is only part of the story. The great enemy of the human race is soil erosion which has been associ- | ated with the habitations of man since before the dawn of history. The} removal of vegetation, whether grass, brush or forest, exposes soils to the! dash of rain or the blast of wind, against which they have been protected for thousands of years.
Topsoils blow away or wash away or both. Unprotected sloping lands} are usually bared to hard and tight subsoils which drain off the water as | from a tiled roof. The perennial streams, deprived of their reservoirs of | supply, dry up except in rainy seasons, when they become torrential floods and sweep boulders and debris down the slope to deposit them on other- wise fertile lands. Then starving wild or domestic herds clean the devas- | tated areas of all palatable vegetation, only to reduce the effectiveness of | beneficial rains and accentuate aridity.
Truly, a dismal outlook, but fortunately residents of the western proy- inces and their governments are becoming aware of the danger and, for the first time serious efforts are being made to stem this waste and pre-| vent ultimate disaster Reference to the work and program of the Fed- eral conservation c« this connection Provided erosion and

Great French Flying Boat
| Thirty-Ton Craft May Be Used For
Ocean Service
Residents of the British West In-
| dies are hoping for a sight of the
giant new French flying boat, Lieu- tenant
de Vaisseau Paris, when it visits France's colonies, The 75-passenger ship, built for
experiments in trans-Atlantic mail and passenger flying, will pass over the Leeward and Windward Islands in its trip, celebrating the 300th year of French rule in Guiana and the Indies. It will call at French Guiana, Martinique, Guadaloupe and French-speaking Haiti.
Taking part in the anniversary trip also will be five other aero- planes, with the Emil Bertin, France's largest cruiser-minelayer, and the Surcouf, world’s biggest submarine. They will be on hand for the inauguration of naval bases at
| Martinique and Guadaloupe.
Chief interest centres in the great flying boat. Powered with six mot-
ors, the huge craft has a wing spread of 160 feet and is 103 feet long. It has a cruising speed of 145
miles an hour. Its luxurious interior includes a large lounge, eight double first-class cabins, second-class ac- commodations, a kitchen, bathrooms and even a bar. Most of these fit- tings have been taken out for the present trip, but they are being ship- ped across the sea to be reinstalled at Martinique.
The 30-ton craft, manned by eight officers and several mechanics, has been designed for cross-ocean flying by way of the southern route. If ex- periments prove successful, France hopes to make her the first unlt in a service between that country and the United States.

Conservationists Meet
Says Sanctuary Idea Originated In
Saskatchewan A plea that conservationists use their voting strength in political
elections was made to the North American Wild Life conference at Washington by Jay N. “Ding” Dar- ling, former chief of the biological survey.
More than 1,500 games authorities heard Darling's address at the conference's opening session after greetings were read from Presi- dent Roosevelt, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King of Canada and the presi-
and fish
Mr. King’s message, read by L, B. Harkin, Canada’s commissioner of national parks, said:
“The treaty between the United States and Canada for the protection of migratory birds indicates the in- ter-relation of interests between our countries in that phase of wild life conservation,
“Following the policy established by the treaty, Canada is pleased to join with the United States of America and the republic of Mexico in the present effort to advance the cause of conservation of North American wild life to the end that the full economic and asthetic possi- bilities of this great and distinctive resource may not only be enjoyed by the present generation but be hand- ed down unimpaired for the future citizens of this continent.”
J. B. Harkins and Hoyes Lloyd represented the Canadian govern-| ment and Senor Juan Zinser spoke for Mexico.

Kipling Kaew His Bible
Was Familiar With Subject Matter Of Every Chapter
Two of the greatest hymns in the church hymn book of the protestant churches are ‘Lest We Forget,’ and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” They are the common property of all the churches. Kipling wrote one, Wesley the other. Kipling knew the subject matter of every chapter in the Bible. These great Englishmen can be broad in their tolerance of many errors, yet they never get far from the Bible. In reading Kim and many of the tales about the soldiers in India, it would be hard to think of their author as a Bible student. He must have carried a Bible with him in all his wanderings through India. What a lot of young men through- out the country and the United States would think it useless en- cumbrance. But the young men of England who have been well taught, who can see their country as the defence against the inflow of bar-

Observations Confirm Theory That Universe
Is the Universe infinite? If not, how big is it? Is it expanding, or does it size remain constant?
Three leading men of science, Sir Arthur Eddington, Sir James Jeans, and Dr. Edwin Hubble, of the Mount Wilson Observatory, U.S.A., have all made statements on these questions.
Sir Arthur Eddington has just confirmed by theory the astronomi- cal observations that the universe is doubling its size every 1,300,000,000 years.
It h&s frequently been asserted, both according to theory and prac- tice, that the universe is expanding; but Sir Arthur Eddington’s calcula- tions for the rate of growth from theory alone were at first about twice as big as those calculated astronomically from the fact that objects in the heavens appear to be rushing farther and farther away from us.
Further calculations have now made the figures very nearly agree!
Sir James Jeans thinks the size of the universe will known some day.
Speaking at the Royal Institution in London he said: “Assuming space to be finite and therefore spherical, with a telescope ten times more powerful than the world’s most powerful at present, the additional area of space brought within our vision would not be ten times the present visual area. The number of fresh nebulae would accordingly de- crease in proportion.
“From this we hope ultimately to calculate the size of the universe.”
And this is what Dr. Edwin Hub- ble had to say in a lecture at Yale University about the world’s present largest telescope.
“Our great 100-inch telescope can see as far as 500 million light years away,” he said, “and the whole space revealed is covered with ne- bulae to the number of about 100 million, which appear like swarms of stars travelling like a colony of bees in flight.”
As far as can be seen, he went on, there is not a trace of a void in the universe in any direction.
“The telescope detects nothing whatever to forecast how much far- ther man must see to find any frontier of creation, or even to find anything startlingly different.”
May Be Good Market
China Offers Prospects For Canadian Pearl Barley
There would seem to be a larger market opening up for Canadian pearl barley in the Hongkong mar- ket, due to the scarcity of suitable sized barley from Germany, the prin- cipal supplying country along with Holland. Canada and the United States have about an equal share of the barley market, with Canada supplying a shade larger quantity,
according to the Agricultural De-|
partment of the Canadian National
Railways. German barley is favor- ed for its cheapness, color and roundness of kernel, although im-
porters are inclined to the opinion)
that the North American article is superior in uniformity, grading and absence of dust. The principal ob- jection to barley from North America, apart from price, is dis- coloration of the kernels and tend- ency towards an oval shape.

Belongs To Bean Family
Contrary To General Idea Peanut Is A Vegetable
It happens that the peanut in reality is not a nut at all, but a vege- table. It belongs to the bean family and sometimes is called the burrow- ing bean. This name arises from a peculiar trait of the plant: After it has grown to a height of between one and two feet and put forth blos- soms the flower withers and the stalk on which it grows elongates and bends down, forcing the young pods underground. There they ma- ture and then are dug and dried.
Doubtless this unusual habit of the peanut accounts for some of the peculiar names by which it is known, and it may be that these names have something to do with the unfortunate fact that the pea- nut has never held as high a place in the public esteem as it really de- Serves, Admittedly, it may be diffi-

Seed Shortage
Alberta Is In Need Of Seed Oats, Barley And Wheat
Preliminary surveys indicated the Alberta government probably will be called upon to supply more than 1,- 000,000 bushes of seed oats, 300,000 bushels of barley and a large quan- tity of wheat for spring seeding. O. S. Longman, field crops commis- sioner of the Alberta department of agriculture, told several hundred Calgary and district farmers in an address at Calgary.
Considerable seed that was not of a grade desired by officials, undoubt- edly would have to be sown, Mr. Longman said, but widespread and early frosts had created a difficult position in the province. The barley situation provided a problem and supplies would have to be obtained from outside Alberta, the commis- sioner added.
The seed situation was the worst in his 20 years’ experience, accord- ing to G. M. Stewart, inspector for} the Dominion seed branch.

Dr. Stekel claims that there has been a great increase in jealousy cases since the world crisis. The reason, he says, is that an un- employed person has more time to devote to his own ego, and there- fore discovers many things which he had not _ noticed before. Social problems help the growth of path- ological jealousy. Dr. Stekel, who) intends to open a clinic for people suffering from jealousy, thinks that patients will find great relief if they can discuss their case with a doctor. If the jealousy is unfounded, the patient must be convinced by care- ful persuasion that his fears are ab- solutely without any foundation.

Winter brings many picture opportunities.
Old Man Winter may not be pop- ular with everybody but, as an in- exhaustible inventor of opportuni- ties for taking beautiful pictures, he
{is certainly a good friend of ama-
teur photographers. Remember that with his tools of snow and wind, he is a landscape artist, painter, etcher, and sculptor of the first order. Re- member also that his handiwork is fleeting, so do not fail to have your camera ever ready to take pictures before the opportunities are gone.
Each snowfall creates new sub- jects for picture taking, for you will find that each time the snow mantle is put on differently, chang- ing the landscape to obliterate some features on one occasion, bringing them into relief on another, giving a peculiar charm to objects that do not attract attention in other sea- Suns, and often displaying weird or fantastic snow formations, never to be exactly repeated.
These magic changes of scenery make winter a snapshooter’s para- dise. Long shadows on the white snow add beauty and interest to many a scene. Such a simple thing as a picket fence casting its serried outline over a curving snowdrift that it has helped to build may make a photograph of “Winter” that any salon would be proud to ex- hibit. The lone pine tree, sitting in a graceful bowl of snow the wind has moulded around its base, fantastic cornices on the hill tops, the drifted roads, the weather-blackened old mill etched against a white hillside
te
Ne ee a
e SNAPSHOT GUIL
OUR GOOD FRIEND WINTER
—these suggest but a few of the picture taking opportunities which winter offers for the camera owner.
Then, too, there are the human interest pictures of winter sports— action shots of skiing, sliding, skat- ing, and ice boat racing—not to for- get Sally, Pal and the snow hut they so laboriously hollowed out of the great drift in the yard. Chances like these prove a source of joy to those clever enough to shoot at the right moment and with the right ex- posure and focus.
With regard to exposures in win- ter, many think that because snow is white, they should not be so long as in summer, but remember on the other hand that light is not so strong in winter. The old rule—expose for the shadows and let the highlights take care of themselves — works fully as well for snow pictures un- der most conditions. When, however, you wish to take a picture to em- phasize shadows, as in the case of the picket fence, a sky filter placec upside down on the lens (that Is, yellow part at the bottom) so that the light from the snow will be sub- dued in passing through should re- produce them even better with no loss of detail in other parts of the picture.
So put on the galoshes and the muffler after the next snowfall, and wade out with your camera. With a little thought to composition, you will come back with a “picture no artist can paint’ and more than one.

On Interest To Dairymen
Milk Commissioners Met In real To Discuss Mutual Problems
Mont-
A meeting recently held in Mont- real may have far-reaching conse- quences for Canadian dairy farmers. The provincial milk commissioners or other officials from five provinces! held a three-day conference and dis-} cussed the mutual problems which are affecting the dairy industry. In| addition three Western provinces al-| though not represented had submit-| ted written statements.
Welcomed ot Queebe by Dr. J. A.} Grenier, deptuy minister of agricul-| ture, the meeting was presided over by D. L. Mellish, member of the Municipal and Public Utility Board, of Manitoba. After reading the) statements of the Saskatchewan) Milk Control Board, and the Alberta, Utility Commissioners, Mr. Mellish| then reviewed the situation in Mani- toba.
Due to chaotic conditions in the! whole milk trade of greater Winni- peg in 1931 the Municipal and Pub- lic Utilities Board had been em- powered to stabilize the industry. | Prices to the producer had dropped | as low as 93 cents per cwt., and there was a danger of a scarcity of safe) milk. The Utility Board then fixed! the price the farmer was to get for) his milk and what the consumer could buy it at. This automatically fixed the spread allowed to distribu- tors, of which there are nine in} Winnipeg.
So far the scheme has worked out satisfactorily and seven of the nine | distributors are doing well. Last year 74,000,000 pounds of milk came into the city from 900 producers within a fifty mile radius, and 55,-| 500,000 pounds of this was sold as fluid milk. The price was fixed last July at $1.55 per cwt. for the ensu-| ing four months, and $1.81 (for 3.5) per cent. milk) for the rest of the year, and Mr. Mellish indicated that they hoped shortly to establish a uni- form price throughout the whole year.

Historic Richness Of P. E. L. Parliament Building Makes It Prized Across Dominion
Prince Edward Island's parliament building cost $75,000 to build in 1847. Repairs on it effected last year will .cost the province a like amount, It is probably the least costly of all Canada's provincial buildings, but its value in historic richness makes it prized across the Dominion Romantic stories behind its graystone walls are the warp and woof of national structure
The other day, Colonel Harvest, Gloucester mansions, Lon- don, sent the trustees of the confed- eration chamber, situated in the west wing, a portrait of his grandfather, Sir Charles Douglas Smith, who was

Sidney
governor of the island province from 1813 to 1825.
The portrait, now hanging in its rightful place, completes the array
of governors and administrators from the time His Excellency Walter Pat- terson ruled in 1770. Twenty-eight governors and two administrators ave been in office since that time.
Governor Patterson's grand-daugh-
ter, Margaret Gordon, who was born in Charlottetown, was Thomas Car- lyle's first love and to-day is con- sidered a quasi saint in Prince Ed-
ward Island.
They met in Kirkaldy, Scotland, when Carlyle, now occupying a high pedestal among world intellectuais, was then an obscure school teacher. Their romance was blighted by Mar- garet Gordon's adopted aunt, but through their lives the flame of love, burning so feverishly as is evident by their letters, became the inspira- tion for Carlyle’s “Sartor Resartus.”
Froude, the historian, has definite- Iy identified Charlottetown's Mar- garet Gordon as the character Blumine, “the Rose Goddess . .
of . the
heaven's messengers .. . fair and golden as the dawn she rose upon my soul .. .” woven into Sartor Resartus.
Margaret Gordon as Lady Banner- man, 50 years later, returned to Charlottetown as the wife of the
governor of Prince Edward Island, reigning as the first lady of the land. And still standing, not far from gov- ernment house, is the little building where Margaret Patterson, the mother of “Blumine”, first saw the light of day. Details of this roman- tic story may be pieced together from bits of information hiding the provinces archives.
Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister, wrote his occu- pation as “cabinet maker’ when he signed his name in the visitor's book in the confederation chamber. It causes tourists to smile to-day.

The “bi-way” sidewalk, a substi- |
tute for subways, which will carry

stitute of Electrical Engineers at New York.
The biway is a double sidewalk, one beside the other, one which
starts and stops, while {ts companion never stops, but loads from its in- termittent companion. Norman W Storer, of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company of East Pittsburg, said biways would less to construct and instal than sub- ways and use less power.

It’s Tell ne tly Just an “‘Idea.”” Not “Old Age.’’ And According to Scientists, May be Somethin No More Alarming Than Touch Of Acid Stomach
At about 40, many, people think they're “growing old.” They’re tired a lot. Have headaches. Stomach up- sets. Dizziness. Nausea.
Well, scientists say the cause, ina great many cases, is merely an acid condition of the stomach. The thing to do is simply to neutralize the excess stomach acidity.
When you have one of these acid stomach upsets, all you do is take Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia after meals and before going to bed.

JES
Explanations And Comments
The Doubt of John the Baptist, Luke 7:18-20. Some of John the Baptist’s disciples had remained loyal to him, and they visited him in his gloomy dungeon in the Castle of Macherus. They brought John tid- ings of what Jesus was doing, es- pecially of the deeds of mercy which they either saw Jesus perform or about which they heard. John, the desert dweller, the man of out-door life, must have been in his dungeon like a caged lion. Filled with gloomy thoughts about the sudden ending of his own career, hopeless of ever re- gaining his freedom, John was as- sailed by black thoughts. Jesus was not proving the kind of Messiah he had expected. John had looked for severity and Jesus had shown gen- tleness; for ruthlessness there had been mercifulness. Probably, too, John's loyal disciples expressed their! doubts about the new Prophet whose ways were so different from their master’s,
Jesus disappointed John because he was So little like John himself. John was the stern prophet of righteousness who preached about the axe being laid to the root of the) tree and talked in stern tones about judgment to come. Small wonder that Jesus, with his ministry of sym- pathy and helpfulness and his em-) phasis upon love and service, left) John wondering.
John sent two of his disciples to) Jesus with the question, “Art thou} he that cometh, or look we for, another?”
Jesus’ Message to John, Luke 7: 21-23. Jesus did not then answer the bb feet directly, but keeping John’s isciples with him he let them watch him for a time. Then he bade them go back and report to John the things they had seen and heard, the marvel- ous cures and the marvelous words. In the wilderness Jesus refused to perform a miracle for his own sake, but throughout his ministry he heal- ed the sick, restored sight to the blind, gave strength to palsied limbs, | and cleansed lepers. He would not} tempt the Lord his God hy doing a| mere work of wonder either for his
own comfort or to gratify the curi- ous crowds, but great needs always) drew forth his boundless sympathy. | The power he ascribed to God: ‘‘The| Father that dwelleth in me he doeth the works.” By these deeds and by| his preaching to the poor, by good deeds and good news, he was authen-| ticated.
Royal graves are believed to abound on Iona Island, where, it is said, 48 Scottish, four Irish, and eight Danish and Norwegian kings lie buried.

Project In Ethiopia
An Italian engineering commission is in Assab, Eritrea, to complete plans for creation of a ‘new sea.”
This sea will admit ships directly to the eastern Aussa region of Ethiopia where Francis M. Rickett and other promoters say there is oil.
The engineers Indian Ocean flow into Danakil’s sunken “Death Valley,” which in some places lies 500 feet below sea level.
Thus they would bring Eritrean ports 100 miles nearer the interior from this southern port of Eritrea, for transportation of the thousands

The engineers, surveying between Massaua and Assab, plan to dig one
canal to the north and one to the south, to maintain the level of the ‘new sea.”
They estimate two years and 1,-

the job, hoping the Indian Ocean's flow will widen the small, man-made canals sufficiently to admit ships to the interior waters.

Leader Of Party Confident Peak Will Be Reached
Bound for the “last great adven- ture on earth,” the first members of the 1936 Mt. Everest expedition left London, en route to Darjeeling, In- dia, for a new assault on the world's highest mountain.
Three men and one woman depart- ed first, and the nine other members of the party followed. The woman, Mrs. Noel Humphreys, accompanied her husband, Dr. Humphreys, only as far as Darjeeling.
Hugh Ruttledge, veteran leader of the 1933 expedition, again will lead the drive up the perilous snowbound heights toward the 29,000-foot pin- nacle which has defied four previous attempts and has taken nine lives.
“IT believe we'll make it this time,”
he said quietly, standing in the crowded boat train station, ‘With any reasonable weather, I'm con-
fident of success.”
In the 1933 attempt, Ruttledge's party fought its way to within 1,000 feet of the top only to be driven back by monsoon which broke nearly a month ahead of schedule.

SELECTION OF | A Balanced Budget
THE NEW SPEAKER MEETS CRITICISM
Ottawa.-Conservative Leader Ben- nett made Canadian political history when he shattered the traditional peaceful formality of the opening of parliament by criticizing the selec- tion of Pierre Casgrain as speaker of the House of Commons. |
The pomp and ceremony, subdued | this year because of the death of King George, was eclipsed by the) scene in the House of Commons. The | Conservative leader accused the new speaker of attempting to dismiss more than 120 employees of the | house summarily and without cause. | He said Casgrain's conduct could not | be condoned and would serve as a) warning to opposition members of | his political partiality and unfairness. |
The former Liberal whip was elected speaker without a recorded vote, after the Conservative leader gave notice he would seek investiga- tion of the dismissal episode, includ- ing the part played by Arthur Beau- chesne, clerk of the house,
Lord Tweedsmuir officiated for the first time as governor-general, mak- | ing the speech from the throne which forecast important bills to be pre- sented this session.
At 3 o’clock the formal ceremonies were held. The governor-general ar- | rived with a guard of honor and was | saluted by an artillery blast. In keep- ing with the national mourning over the death of King George, the scene | in the red-walled senate chamber was | drab in contrast to other years.
It marked the return to power of | the Liberal leader and his followers who had been in opposition nearly six years, There are so many Lib-!| eral members in the new house they overflow into seats normally occu- pied by the opposition, crowding Con- servatives, members of the Social Credit group and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation into a relatively small corner.
Premier Mackenzie King sponsor- ed the motion to elect Speaker Cas- grain after recounting his long asso- ciation with the house and stressing his qualifications for the position.
It was not usual for speakers to be opposed upon their nomination, Mr. Bennett said. As a rule they were elected unanimously but there were | precedents for their opposition. It had been said a former chief whip made a good speaker because he was) familiar with the house. In a gen- eral way he agreed with that state- ment but there were arguments to the contrary.
“IT regret,’ Mr. Bennett said, “to have to say I am opposed to the elec- tion of Mr. Casgrain as speaker.” It had been known for some time Mr. Casgrain was to be speaker, Mr. Ben- nett said. With that knowledge going out unofficially he had no fault to find.
On January 28, after the press an- nounced Mr. Casgrain would be speaker, Mr. Bennett said, the ser- geant-at-arms sent letters to more) than 120 employees of the house tell- ing them their services would not be! needed after the end of January. |
“Those instructions,’ said Mr.) Bennett, “came from Mr. Casgrain.| He had the same right to give those instructions as the youngest and} humblest member of this house.” |
It was expressly provided by the} written law of parliament, said Mr. | Bennett, that no employee of the| house could be relieved of his office unless a complaint was made against him and he was given an opportun- ity to state his defence.
It was a painful time for him to} call attention to this situation said Mr. Bennett. But he asked if a man who was capable of such an arrogant | disregard of the privileges of the house could have confidence of men on the opposition side. }
In the pressure of party politics | governments often had to do things| they did not like. He was proud, how- | ever, of the prompt action taken by, Mr. King to halt the dismissals,
Mr, Bennett said he wished to be | fair to the prime minister and to the government. Mr, King deserved the! gratitude of all members. |
The clerk of the house was report- | ed as having made statements which | demanded an inquiry. The whole mat- | ter would have to be investigated by | a committee of privilege.
If Mr. Casgrain were elected, said Mr. Bennett, he would be in a pecu- liar position when he had to put to the house a motion to refer his own conduct to a committee,
“Can we condone the action of Mr. Casgrain?” asked Mr. Bennett, “I cannot although I am asked to do it. I cannot condone a clear violation of the law.”

Speaker Tells Of Factors In Britain’s Economic Recovery Toronto.._A_ balanced budget, a “trading tariff,’ and “a housing pro- gram that builds houses,’ were nam- ed by Henry J. Allen, former gov- ernor of Kansas, as chief factors in Great Britain's recovery from
nomic depression. Speaking to the Canadian Chain-|
eco-
ed the Britain he found four years | ago with the country from which he has just returned after another visit. “Four years ago we were feeling sorry about Britain—to-day it is a far different story, a story of pros- perity based on common sense.”
Mr. Allen went to England in the first place “to write about the dole.” The first-class unemployment law which from 1911 to 1920 had “built up a great fund of $700,000,000" had been so decimated by “post-war strikes and Socialist victories” that its deficit stood at $675,000,000. One- third of the country’s manpower were on the dole.
When he went back last year the Kansan found prosperity. What hap- pened in the meantime, he said, was that after the nationalist victory in decision to balance the made. “The English-
only way to do that was to take in as much or more than was paid out, So taxes were raised a shilling in the

It will be necessary for the six judges to study 500,000 words of legal argument before rendering

Alfalfa Crop Kept Fresh
Test With Dry Ice And Air-Tight) Silo Was Success
An experiment successfully con-| cluded in Clark county, Ohio, its directors insist, foretells the doom of present methods of hay-making and of the large barns now deemed | essential to a prosperous farm.
With dry ice as a preservative, an) alfalfa crop was kept fresh and green for four months in an air-tight | silo on the Lynn-Guernsey dairy | farm, northeast of Springfield, and| now is being fed to a dairy herd | while all other herds are living on hay and artificial feeds.
The alfalfa, according to A. G.! Bookwalter, owner of the farm, was| preserved at less expense than it would have taken to store it as hay.
Furthermore, it lost only 5 per/ cent. of its nutritive value, whereas; alfalfa stored as hay loses 74 per | cent. of its food value.
Prof. Oscar Erf, of the Depart- ment of Agriculture at the Ohio State University, directed the ex-| periment.
When the silo opened, Erf conducted hurried tests and = an- nounced that the alfalfa had retain-| ed almost all of its richness.
A vast increase in the quality and quantity of milk in winter monthe will result from the new method of preserving feed, Erf believes.
Twenty-four tons of alfalfa were stored in the specially constructed silo last September, together with dry ice, which cost about $24.
As it evaporates, dry ice forms) carbon dioxide, which in turn forces the lighter oxygen to the top of the silo, away from the alfalfa. |
Thus the gasses protect the al- falfa from the oxygen, which pro- duces fermentation.

Making Success Of Work
Russian Girl Proves Women Can Be Electrical Engineers
When Esther Rabkin received a degree in electrical engineering at University of Alberta convocation services last May, the sceptics ask- ed, “who would employ a feminine electrical engineer ?"’
“Wait and ree,’ said Esther.
To-day she is working in the Gen- eral Electric Company's Toronto plant in research on electric light bulbs. Policy of the organization is to provide university graduates with extensive training before allowing them to attempt practical applica- tion of their knowledge and_ the) former co-ed is now being trained by expert scientists.
She came to Canada from Russia. She intends to return there some day. Perhaps changing conditions in the Soviet have influenced her original determination to return there immediately upon graduation, says Dr. H. J. Macleod, head of the} University of Alberta electrical en-| gineering department.
“Esther is the only girl to have ever. received an electrical engincer's degree at the university,” states the professor. “She was an excellent student.”
“More important, she had courage and the strength of her convictions. | Her success in obtaining employ- ment should not influence other pros- pective co-eds in choosing an elec- | trical engineering degree because her qualities and abilities are of the variety possessed by few who enter) the university,’’ declares Dr. Leod.

No Change Anticipated
Royal Ranch In Alberta May Retain Name Of “E.P.”
No change is anticipated in either the name or proprietorship of the, “E.P.” ranch near High River, Alta., | following the accession of its royal owner to the empire's throne.
The ranch, purchased in 1919 by the present King when he was Prince of Wales, is purely personal property and as such is not included in those perquisities which more or, less automatically become part of the estate of the heir presumptive to the throne.
Since its acquisition, the royal in- terest in the property has been con-| stantly maintained.
Named “E.P.” for “Edward, Prince”, it is thought unlikely this designation will be changed to “E.R.” or “E.R.I.” now that he has, become “Edwardius Rex et Imper-| ator.” |
Western ranchers point out a reg- istered brand known all over the continent is a great asset and one which could not be altered without considerable monetary loss. |
Professor W. L. Carlyle, manager of the ranch, has no information on the question. Nor could he make any comment on reports that the new King might visit his ranch as soon as the cares of state permit.
Prof. Carlyle, Mrs. Carlyle and employees of the ranch attended memorial services in High River on January 28. |
The Law Of Justice
French Writer Unable To Conceive Civilization Without England
Paris despatch in London Morn- ing Post of Jan, 2: “The defeat or| even retreat of Britain would be a disaster without precedent and with- out name.” |
This conclusion on the possible! outcome of what he describes as the British-Italian antagonism that has emerged from the Abyssinian war is made by M. Gabriel Hanotaux, of the French academy, in an article in the “Echo de Paris.”
The antagonism, says M. Hano-) taux, is based fundamentally on the}
question of the domination of the| Mediterranean, “It is a question of | civilization itself,’ he declares. |
“Think for a moment. Can you con-
ceive of civilization without Eng-| land? | “Who is it that has spread
throughout the whole world the law of justice, the authority of right, the! credit of the spoken word, the secur- | ity of exchanges? Who is it but the English gentleman?”
The rivalry over the domination! of the Mediterranean, declares M. | Hanotaux, dates back to before 1913, | before fascism, when Italian ambil-! tions had already begun to be limit- less.

Protect Resources
Saskatchewan Plans To Protect Natural Resources Of Province In protection and development of
the natural resources of Saskatche-
wan there is opportunity to bring about a better balance in the eco- nomic life of the province, said Hon.
W. F. Kerr, minister of natural re-
sources, addressing the annual meet-
ing of the Moose Jaw Wild Animal
Park Society, held at the Grant
Hall hotel recently.
While agriculture will undoubted- ly remain the great primary indus- try, he continued, the varied and wealthy natural resources of the
| province are assets which can well
be used to balance the economic life of years to come. These resources must be fully protected both by gov- ernment and people, he urged. The government, he explained, is restrict- ed in expenditure of money on pro- tection and developments at present because of the necessity for using funds from all sources of provincial revenue for relief and care of pov- erty stricken residents of the prov- ince.
Nevertheless, he said, every effort was being made to protect resources, particularly forests and wild animal life. To protect the forests and ani- mals of the north the department has been forced to refuse hundreds
| of requests from new immigrants to
the northland, many of them from drouth-stricken southern Saskatche- wan, that they be allowed leeway in fish and game bag limits and in use
| of timber.
To protect small animal life the department intends re-establishing the bounty on timber wolves. The wolf menace has increased greatly he explained, and at present there is now legislation allowing the depart- ment to place a bounty on the wolf. Such legislation will probably be in- troduced at the coming session of the legislature, he intimated.
Power Is Exaggerated
Public Opinion Not Greatly In- fiuenced By Means Of Radio
Radio is new, and in this business of politics and parties it enjoys a prestige that, in this country especi- ally, attaches to novelty. Actually there is good reason for thinking that people have been greatly exag- gerating the potency of this new engine of public opinion. It is too easily taken for granted that any speaker who goes on the air has a vast number of his countrymen hanging on his words, If they do listen to him it is too easily taken for granted that the radio orator holds the fortunes of his country in the palm of his hands.
It is not so simple as all that. In the first place there seems to be no very convincing way of measuring the size of a radio audience. Peo- ple largely guess about the ‘“mil- lions” of radio listeners who rally to this or that orator. It is still harder to make sure the spell which the orator casts over his audience. There are telegrams and postcards, to be sure, but they do not say how long the spell under which they have been written will endure.-New York Times.

FLEMING’S FOLLY
— BY — LAWRENCE A. KEATING
} | | |
SYNOPSIS
The story opens with Link Flem-| ing addressing a meeting of Boone County cattlemen,
tion company.
Roper Kilgo, the boss of the Raw- hide and nearby ranges, who seemed to approve the plan, but was really opposed to it, had forced Soak Tor- ney, a derelict mining engineer, whom Kilgo knew would be called upon to give his expert opinion in favor of the
scheme, to reverse his earlier endorse- |
ment, and declare that irrigation in Boone county so far as Hamilton's lan was concerned, was only a new- angled way to waste money.
The meeting terminates, but Buzz Hamilton and his sister, Helen, Link and Kilgo stay behind and Helen asks Fleming questions about his irriga- tion plan. This angers Buzz, who accuses Fleming of trying to influ- ence his sister and, as he asserts, ruin his “spread”, Buzz shoots at Flem- ing in an uncontrollable fit of anger, but Buster Townsend, Link's foreman, is shot in the stomach, and Fleming is uninjured. Buzz is arrested. The doctor attends Townsend and dresses his wound. Kilgo Roper suggests taking Helen to her home, but she re- fuses and Fleming escorts her home instead. This incident causes Roper to declare open hostility to Fleming.
Helen and Fleming form a partner- ship to provide irrigation for their own properties, Link goes home, and is surprised to find Klgo there ahead of him. Kilgo tries to induce Link to drop his scheme, and when Flem- ing rehiaes, gives a signal by taking off his hat, and Link is shot at from outside the house.
Link kicks Kilgo out of the house. Buzz Hamilton is sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for shooting Bud Townsend.
On his way home after the trial of Buzz was over, Link meets Soak Tor- ney, who starts telling Fleming why he withdrew his approval of the water scheme. Just as he was about to tell the name of the man who had forced him to do so, Torney is shot and killed by a rifle bullet. Link hunts around to find the killer, but finds nothing. He comes across Jack- pot Mell watering his horse, and
Fewer, Shorter Colds for Those Trying Vicks Plan
Worth of Plan for Better Home-Control of Colds
Shown in Tests Among 14,703 People
FURTHER PROVED IN HOME USE
Convincing results—in fewer, milder and shorter colds for those following this home guide—have been obtained from clinical tests of Vicks Plan for Better Control of Colds. These tests included 14,703 people, and the Plan has been further proved in everyday home use throughout the country.
Vicks Plan is the practical result of
30 years’ specialized study of colds by Vicks Chemists and Medical Consult- ants. It is based on just three simple steps: 1, To Help Build Resistance to Colds Live normally—avoid excesses. Eat simple food and keep elimination reg- ular. Drink plenty of water. Take some exercise daily--outdoors prefer- ably. Get plenty of rest and sleep.
2. To Help Prevent Many Colds snifle or sneeze, use Vicks Va-tro-nol— At the first warning nasal irritation, just afew drops up each nostril, Va- tro-nol is especially designed for the nose and upper throat—-where most colds start. Used in time, Va-tro-nol helps to prevent many colds—and to throw off head colds in the early stages.
3. To Help End a Cold Sooner If a cold has developed, or strikes without warning, rub throat and chest at bedtime with Vicks VapoRub. VapoRub acts two ways at once: (1) By stimulation through the skin, like &@ poultice or plaster; (2) By inhala- tion of its penetrating medicated vapors, direct to inflamed air-pas-| wages. Through the night, this com- bined vapor-poultice action loosens phlegm, soothes irritation, helps break congestion,

CHAPTER VI.—Continued
“You bet!” Bush warned earnest- ly. “From now till I see water backed up in that dam—if you build one and if it really works—I wouldn't trust a soul if I was in your boots, Link. But say,” he add- | ed, as both men swerved their horses | to depart, “if things get real tough, we both got smoke-irons that usually work when we pull the trigger. We think yo're all wrong and foolhardy | too—-but remember that anyhow. So | long, Link!” He watched them out of sight in ‘the darkness. Then shrugging his shoulders, he rode for the ranch house. Mention of the dam had re- minded him of the plans drawn by | Soak Torney for the country-wide irrigation. them to learn whether they could be modified to suit his altered purpose.
When he entered the ranch house it was to find the place cold and lonely. Link set to work to build a fire in the squat, long-unused iron stove. He fumbled for a match but found none. Turning to the small kitchen, he spied the roll of blue- prints, and at once his attention swerved. He spread them out on the slab table, holding them down with | his hands while he began to study them. | Torney had planned a large dam to | be built where Link's property ad- | joined that of Benson, the small ‘renter from Kilgo. In a wedge shape the Hamilton Triple H came in just at this point. Would it be possible for Link and Helen to construct a smaller dam upstream that would suffice for their two spreads?
Poring over the prints, he became convinced that such a change could be made. That chap, Tom McLen- don, if he could be lured to Rawhide, could revise these drawings. And if they could complete a cut-off for Silver Creek before heavy snows came, it might be possible also to be in the foundations before win- | |

| The Star Loop owner roused from | his immersion in thought of the | scheme to realize that he had not yet | started a fire in the stove. Going |} again to the kitchen, he returned | with several matches in his hand, He approached the open’ stove and struck one on his boot, then tossed it inside.
| The thin pine shavings took eager
| light. Link closed the door and | turned back to the plans. | That was the last he knew. For
with the suddenness of a _ thunder- | clap in the reverberating hills, the ; entire ranch house seemed to burst into flame. There was a terrific roar. The very walls seemed to swell out- ward, and with force and concussion that hurled him against the far wall; the iron stove burst into bits as an explosion rocked the room.
CHAPTER VII.
The red glow of the burning ranch house was visible several miles over the prairie. Like a shaft of crimson the fire rose higher and higher, crackling in malicious glee as it devoured tinder-dry clap-board- ing. Horses trotted whinnying their alarm to the far end of the corral, to huddle there with ears laid back, their tawny bodies reddened against the bars.
The shock had awakened Sime Haltby, by chance the only Star Loop hand in the bunkhouse, Sime, so it developed later, should not have been asleep at this time, but out with the remuda.

stop aghast. His watery grey eyes went round. His cavernous jaw slackened, and for once Haltby for- got to tug at his ear. Veteran of many a cowland accident, he reason- ed instantly that someone must be inside the ranch house, hence the ex- plosion.
Already the fire groped hungrily toward the roof. Sime dashed to the rain barrel, found a thin skimming of ice on it, and broke it with a hard fist. He splashed the chill water over his clothing in a swift effort to soak himself. Then without hesita- tion he rushed to the front door of the house, and shading his eyes from

scious, Link sprawled in the track of the fire that gnawed into dry floor- ing. Haltby sprang to his side. Kneeling, he pulled the rancher’s arm around his neck. Then he grasped Fleming’s knees and started outside with his burden.
Once he stumbled and almost dropped his employer. Somehow he kept on through licking tongues of fire that made the clothes of both men smoke as though any instant they would burst alive with flame. The sharp night wind struck them like a blow, its smart and sting painful to their scorched faces.
Link moaned. “Hang on!” Sime mumbled, coughing from the heavy smoke.
As he reached the corral and sank exhausted beside the’ juniper rails, hoofbeats sounded nearer. A man swept around the curve of the en- closure, and another. Waco Byrne hit the ground and came running.

Haltby was in another spell of coughing. He shook his head. At once Byrne dropped on his knees. “Ell,” he flung at Tasker, his com- panion, “get Sime in the bunkhouse. Pour some liquor in him. There's bear grease for his burns in a can on the shelf; it’s the best thing there is.” He squinted at Fleming, then placed his ear close to his lips. “Breathin’, all right. What the tarnation hooligans made the hull shebang go like that?”
Tasker was draping his fellow- waddie over his shoulder like a bag of flour. “Think the other buildin’s’ll catch?”
“We can't do anything about it now. The wind is changin’, though. Let’s tend these hombres; there ll be folks arrivin’ soon. Always gather fast to celebrate bad luck.”

When Helen returned her steps were slow with discouragement, her shoulders drooping. Hesitance was in her brown eyes as, filled with pain, they met those of the Star Loop owner. No words passed be- tween them for a moment; then Link sighed and lay back.
“Gone,” he muttered dully.
She strove to swallow the lump in her throat. “Roper and I_ heard about Soak Torney being shot. course I knew you hadn't done it, and I tried to stop the talk in town. Now the plans are burned. il

“Soak down the other roofs, boys! Get the tools out o’ that shed in case she goes!”
By now the house was almost en- tirely destroyed, and while Byrne watched a wall toppled in. His face took on a hard look. When he turn- ed back Haltby was on his feet, swearing and demanding his gun.
‘I’m gonna kill somebody for this!” he yelled, “I’m gonna kill the first lowdown-—”

Mechanical Ears
New Method Of Piloting A Plane By Sound Alone
Mechanical ears for piloting a plane by sound alone, an entirely new principle in aviation, were de- scribed to the Institute of Aero- nautical Sciences. Luis De Florez, of the De Florez Engineering Com-
pany, of New York, who has spent three years developing them and flown many hours blindfolded, gave a “ground demonstration” with the instruments.
‘It is possible,” Florez said, ‘that a blind man, with his more accur-
ately timed hearing, might become a better pllot than one who can see.”
All “blind” flying heretofore has been done with the eyes, watching instrument boards. But with ‘“me-
chanical ears’ the pilot flies wholly by listening to a pair of ear phones He can use them in fog, clouds, darkness, on any kind of plane
The phones are connected with a
quicker than the eye could do the same thing. For the electric current is amplified, so that a slight devia- tion shrieks its warning.
In the phone circuit there is a small gyroscope, set to indicate the slightest turn of the ship to left or right. If the plane turns, this gyro cuts off one ear phone.
The pilot then knows he is start ing to turn toward the side on which he still hears the hum. Here, the sound warning can be than the eye.
