George the Fifth, it is added, was an ideal monarch to carry on the duties imposed by post-war develop­ ments. His steadiness, loyalty, cour­ age and common sense inspired a deep universal respect for the throne and made him the focus- point of Im­ perial .unity. ■ The same United Slates writer, declares that the international situ­ ation is. deeply influenced by the personality of the reigning monarch. Europe looks to Britain first of all for stabiiityj in leadership. The in­ terplay of' political. influences leaves GOOD RETURNS Tourist advertising pays, Mr. J.

Trickey, the genial managei* of Stratford’s new- esT industry, . Soya Mills Limited, presented us with a loaf of brown bread. * “This,” said he, “is the first loaf of bread containing soya bean nieial ever baked in Stratford, as far as I know’.” The loaf was good to look - at, and as we hadn’t eaten, for sev­ eral hours we cut off a fevli morsels and thoroughly enjoyed eating them. Mr. Trickey explained that the loaf contained white; .flour, some. The soya bean meal adds materially to the protein value of the bread and helps the loaf to retain fits freshness. We took the loaf home , and estab­ lished rations of two slices per day. The last of.the loaf was eaten on the fourth day and it was then, in­ deed, remarkably fresh, having been kept in an .ordinary tiir bread- box. The citizens of Stratford will hope that increasing success will attend the labors of thoe who direct the. operations pf this youngest unit of the city’s indusrial life., \ \ FINGER PRINTS The value of fingerprinting tvas exemplified recently when the body ‘of an unknown" man was found in a railway box car at Ottawa, it ap­ pears that the j man • had entered a heated freight . car. .with, the object of securing free transportation to Ottawa, not.i’?alizing’that the fumes generated by the heating plant were dangerous. ” • ■ A post-mortem examination was, made and it was established that r.o violence had been used, but that death was'due to Carbon. mono.'P.de-! poisoning.
