Gum Too Emy
It is far too easy in this country,
in the United, States, for a man
get guns. Nobody has any right
possess a, revolver at hll unless«
is a police officer, qt is engaged
some pursuit which requires that
he have one raider permit, with . the*
police fully aware that he has it. <
Guns are no part of the. equipment

Another Suggestion
The Free Press has suggested
several occasions tha? May 24th
made Memorial Day. There is
fixed day in Canada for Memorial
Day as 4n-4he - United States.. It.. . is.
a moveable feast. Canada should
have a general Memorial Day, when
“not on)y the soldiers Who died for
Canada, but our great statesmen
___and the builders of Canada could be
rem^ihered. As fax* as this-part of
Canada is concerned it is an ideal
time,. The country is at.its best; the
Spring flowers are (n all their glory.
Then there- would he some excuse,
Some sound reason for continuing, in
Canada a holiday which in the rest
of the Empire has long since been
forgotten.—London Free Press.

Dr. Dafoe’s Poets
■Dr. A. R.» Dafoe, fTiero” of the
Dionne quintuplets, has a grievence;
It. is seemingly the^first complaint of
any seriousness th.at he has voiced
since he came into fame,
■< - It has not to do with the quin
tuplets, with the quintuplets* pa#-
epts, or: with -the Ontario Govern
ment?^‘suzerainty over the quintu-'
plets. It has to do with poets — of
a sort. Dr.-Dafoe has.been telling
- the Ontario Public Health Officers’
Association, in an address before it,
Of. "sickly, sentimental poems” he
;«Ihas been receiving since the birth of
the Dionne kiddies* verse inspired,
as he says, by the advent of the
quintuplets and the, medical attention
they. Wave received. Said Dr. Dafoe:
;“It’s awful stuff. It . comes from all
over the country, and why people
pick On me I don’t know.”
First thing we know Dr. Dafoe may
be taking to the. Callander bush and
staying there. Both he and the quin
tuplets have had a hard enough
struggle without this insidious foe
from without. It may be questioned
if poetry is poetry wWerrritthreatens
to drive £he-object of its. outpouring
to despair.—Regina Leader-Post.

THE EMPIRE
The King’s Teapots
Tea is King Edward’s favorite
beverage. As Prince of Wales he
often surprised local officials during
industrial tours- by refusing Cham
pagne, whiskey and beer which had
been obtained specially for him, ask
ing for'a cupof tea.
The King- drinks tea many times
a day. As a young man he often burnt
his fingers on the all-metal teapots
at Buckingham Palace. He remem
bered this when discussing household
arrangements at Buckingham Palace
with Queen Mary. Result: Fifty
heavy Queen Anne teapots of valu
able Sheffield plate were packed off
to Marlborough House, where the
Queen is- to live. They are being re-,
placed by teapbts with wooden
handles. —— British Cavalcade.
The Wealthy Babies
The Dionne quintuplets now have
$500,000. the newspaper reporters
tell us. That. means their earnings
have been at tile rateJof $50,000. p|br
annum apiece, which )is a good) in
come and ought to qualify the quints
' ’ to rank, in the minds of University
of Torbhto ecohomicsts . and others
who protest against large' incomes, as
public malefactors and exploiters.
The Dominion income tax on $50,-
000 a year is $11,7000. If the quints
have bedn paying their taxes regu
larly, Ottawa, should have received
about $115,000 from them1 already.
The new Ontario schedule should
increase the annual payment by
$3,200. ) ' .
Hon. David Croll’says that by the
end of 1938 the quints will be worth
... about $880,000. But he defls not say
whether this. 4s after or/hefore in
come tax.’
This whole question of quintuplets’
income tax bothers us. Some day
some member of Parliament is going
to ask- questions in the House.,, That
will embarrass the, young ladies.

Earlier Holidays
From Easter. Jt Is an easy step to
anticipations of the summer vacation.”
The railway companies and other
travel agencies, backed by the sea
side authorities and big employers of
labour, are again making 'very sen
sible efforts | to induce people to take
their-holidays earlier. This movement,
Which is of Such obvious benefit, has
made considerable headway in. re-,
cent years. Btit in spite of it August
remains the supreme holiday month.
The arrangement of school terms
compels many thousands of people to
go away in August, but on its merits
the month has no more, and in some
respects rather less,, to commend it
than others.—-London Daily Mail. •

his
fame
TORONTO—High-grade pupils
would be assured if chess were taught
in schools, in the opinion of S. A,
LeRiche, vice-president of the Queen
City. Chess -Club and leader in the
chess-for-children movement begun
in Toronto. » .. ‘
"The mental improvement would
bring results,” said Mr. LeRiche,
"The whole thing is mathematical
training built around combinations
on 64 squares on the chess board.”
The youthful stimulus the ancient
game will receive came through plans
laid by Bernard Freedman, treasurer
of the Canadian Chess Federation.
Through his efforts came the an
nouncement that for the first time
boys’ championships will feature this
year’s Dominion, chess tournament. It
will be held at the Canadian National
Exhibition in Toronto, Aug. 29th to
Sept. 5th.
Mr. Freedman, considered Can
ada’s patron of chess, pioneered with
four other players last November in
founding .the Queen Gity Chess Club.
Special aim was to encourage chil
dren.' , Saturday afternoons ‘through
out the winter 15 or 20 boys engaged
in enthusiastic matches and tourna
ments.
On a recent tour of the west Mr.
Freedman discovered a boy expert of
great promise. He is A. Yhnofsky, an
ll-year«qld Winnipeg youngster des
cribed by Mr. Freedman as "almost
a second Reshevsky.”
Yanofsky may possibly attend the
Dominion championships and give ex
hibitions of simultaneous matched.
His visit would, prove an incentive
to young Toronto exponents, who
play ,a good game but lack unusual
individual talent.
Mr. LeRiche said the- youngsters
are sticklers for. etiquette.^ Old play
ers, thinking a move unsound, some
times take it back. "But not these
boys, a move4s a move with them.”
"These kids are keen,’’ he said.
"We want to get them playing. It
hot ohly keeps them off the streets
but assures the growth of chess in
Toronto.”
Efforts are under way to have
chess included on public school ) cur
ricula. Royal Canadian Military Col
lege at Kingston is believed the only
Canadian school haying organized
chess. Military colleges in the United
States. demand chess, and it is part:
of the training at a Milwaukee
school.

$00,000, as against 140,000 last year,
and net "gate receipts” aggregated
$37,500. -
i This was the third successive, year
in Which Empire Day had been cele
brated, and the program arranged by
the various squadrons included many
ingenious novelties.
.Royal Air Force officers and men
entered into the, spirit of the thing
and devised flying and "static” exhi
bitions which were widely appreciated.
Dive-bombing, mock aerial combats,
Aerobatics, individually and in forma
tion, squadron drill air "raids,” army
Co-operation work, radio telephony,
parachuting, air firing and flying .in
struction were included.
.Anti-aircraft guns, searchlights and
sound locators figured among the
static' exhibits and members <3f the
public were not only able to examine
all these things at close range but to
try for themselves such instruments
as the latest forms of sound locator,
and to watch parachutes being folded
and gas drill performed.
At some stations the gas chamber
was shown and visitors watched air
craftsmen wearing gas masks’ enter
the chamber when it was full of tear

Hotel suite here. z
The resume said:
As to his -personal position,: Mr

"It should be evident by this time
that I gm not a candidate. I have
stated many times that I have no in
terest but to get these critical issues
before the country.
“ ‘I have rigidly prevented my
friends from setting, up any organ
ization, and from presenting, my
name in any primary: or to any state
convention and not a single delegate,
from California or any other state,
is pledged.to. me.’” . *
" Mr. Hoover added:
"That should' end such discussion.
And get one thing ^-straight—I am’
rtot opposing any of the candidates.
My concern is with principles.” .
In'another paragraph, he said for-”

cultural plank for the convention.”
After discussing his. own position,
Mr. Hoover went on to say:
t, "The convention will be -Composed
of a most unusual an^ able personnel.
"The seriousness of the convention
is evidenced by the fact that the large
majority of the delegates are being
sent'Ey the people of .the states with
out other instructions than to find
the right thing to do for the country
-in-the greatest crisis we b^vetociet
