THE KING’S ESCAPE The British Empire, in fact the whole world,, was shocked when word was flashed from London that an al­ leged attempt had been made on the life of our King. Uneasy lies ihe head that wears a crown, not on account •of the vast majority of his subjects >but because of a few fanatics. As the King headed a parade by the famous Guard regiments a man levelled a pistol at the King but the timely intervention of a “women in grey” and a special constable who placed himself in line with our Mon­ arch, prevented what might nave been a. very sad occurrence. The world rejoices that King Ed­ ward was unharmed and his cool ac­ tion under such circumstances, once again proved that he is worthy of be­ ing the leader of the British Empire, On his return to the Palace he salut­ ed the Queen Mother, -went about his business and later enjoyed a. game of golf. The King said once “I am that same man" and once again he has stood the test and his loving subjects will love him the more after this in­ cident. Our King mingles with his people, many feel, too freely and openly, but this is characteristic of him. A King among his subjects he will always be, but we sincerely hope such foolish attempts against him. X: X* IT WAS 100 YEARS From LaPrairie to St. Johns, Que­ bec, one hundred years ago, a puffing •screeching, wood-burning engine made a trip on the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway, which is now a ■part of the Canadian National Sys­ tem. This was on July 21st, 1836, ■and it was the first locomotive in ’Canada. It is a long time, this hund­ red years and the changes have been many. From this short line has i grown a system which has 44,000; miles of track. To-day, the modern : stream-lined locomtive No. 6400, of I which we had a picture in our paper last week, Is 90 feet in length and is so powerful that 20 steel coaches are but an ordinary haul at a speed un­ heard of a century ago or in fact, a very few years ago. The development of transportation during the years has played an im­ portant part in the progress of our country. Modern transportation with !!■ that no more will be made * AGO by of to- their all — wonder. If what would it would be trucks, busses, aeroplanes, is ever forging ahead but none of these form a part of the history of opr country such as did our railways, Lines of steel ever pushing forward into fresh territories or branching out to serve growing municipalities, We salute the railways, the pioneer enterprise that played such an im­ portant part in the development of this great country of Canada. Xc Xs * * ON VIMY RIDGE As we write this article more than 5000 of Canada’s pilgrims are on the ocean steaming toward Vimy Ridge. On board are veterans, their wives, mothers and fathers of those who lost their lives over there. Next Sunday, July 26th, that beautiful memorial to the Canadians, will be unveiled King Edward and the Premier France will also be there. Comrades — men who fought gether — what a visit they will have together — but — there is a sadness about it all. The crosses, row upon row, marked the graves of those who lie in Flanders Fields. Brave youths they were — they gave for what? It makes one they could speak to-day, they say — We are sure — We gave our lives for Pea:e May .you ,our comrades, live long enjoy it. The carefree atmosphere of the old soldier will be ever present but be­ hind all that will be the memory of those days when Bill or Tom or Har­ ry fell, never to rise -again. The beautiful memorial will stand on Vimy, ever a reminder of the sup­ reme sacrifice of those Canadians who gave their all during the Great War also for those who fought bravely for peace many of whom are back once more, not as soldiers, but as Pilgrims. * X< * * Politics often make strange bed­ mates.

But the homemaker is wrong who has a guilty conscience when she serves cake. She will be doing a favor to all who eat her product if she uses a little originality in choosing the cake to serve, for there are many that are tossed together quickly and are light and digestible, as well as inex­ pensive. Best of all, they are delic­ iously new in flavor, and have enough sophistication that even the ulta- modern hostess can serve cake to her guests without feeling that she has gone back to -- the Nineties for her dessert ideas. It is hard to choose from the many new and tempting cake recipes. The two given here fit two separate oc­ casions. The cocoanut krispie cake is simplicity itself, and ideal to make in the twinkling of-an eye for the family dinner when they want some­ thing special. Its frosting, if such it can be called, is made deliciously crisp and chewy by a new use of wheat krispies or corn flakes. But the recipe that “takes the cake” is that for frosted gingerbread bars. They look delectable and taste even more so. The gingerbread bars are ideal for afternoon tea or bridge parties, as well as being a wholesome dessert for a child's party.

But the years and miles sit lightly on Captain H. F. Hallifax, of the oil tanker Cyclo Warrior, ply­ ing between Montreal and Toronto, as a unit of the water distribution system for fuel for Canada’s automo­ biles, homes and agricultural machin­ ery, whose boundaries are the Mari­ time ports in winter and Chicago in? the summer, to say nothing of rail I and road deliveries. The Cyclo Warrior's gross tonnage is 4,000 and her dead-weight tonnage just under 4,000 tons, which means that she carries practically her own weight when fully loaded in all her ten tanks. This, however, is not prac­ ticable in the canal system of the up­ per St. Lawrence river, where only 1,800 tons of cargo can be carried. Yet she arrives in Toronto well lad­ en, the difficulty being remedied by taking on more gasoline and oil at the marine depot, at Prescott, Ont., which is kept supplied from Mont­ real by smaller ships, throughout the navigation season. The return jour­ ney from Toronto to Montreal is made in ballast. Nor must it be imagined that this voyage through inland waters is with­ out interest, for 85 out of the 300 miles between Canada’s two greatest cities is taken up by canals, and “can- aling” is no joking matter, as anyone who has seen the Cyclo-Warrior deft­ ly fitted into a lock, will readily real­ ize, The winching of a ship into the exact position, with a bare few inches es to spare, is something which has to be seen to be appreciated. And when the ship herself, trim in het gleaming ted and white paint, im­ maculate as a yacht and handled as proudly by her 22 officers and men, has been thus briefly deal th with, there remains het interesting' cargo. For oil, in its various commercial forms, is as temperamental as an op­ era troupe, from the sweet and prec­ ious soprano of “casinghead” to the business-like bass of “heavy fuel oil”. Between these range common gaso­ line, kerosene and distillate. Each in­ dividual product has its own foibles and, like the manager of the opera troupe, the captain of a tanker must know about these things. But with years of oil experience be­ hind him, Captain Hallifax takes the day’s work in his stride. Discipline is strict, but the Cyclo-Warrior’s repu­ tation as “a happy ship” is attested by the fact that there have only been two changes in her personnel in four years. Everything moves "navy fa­ shion", quietly and efficiently, with every man trained to a hair in his al­ lotted role and when the skipper speaks of his crew he does so as a proud father might of the members of his family. Even “Snoopie,” the mate’s dog, aptly named for her propensity for investigating everything on the ship, including visitors, seems to have caught the spirit of the thing and she bears herself, as ship’s mascot, as though the whole business, after all, were centred on herself. Such is the story of the big tanker, which fills up at the McColl-Fron­ tenac refinery wharf in Montreal East and is taken by the harbor pilot to the foot of the Lachine Canal on the first leg of her journey to Toronto. Some idea of the extent of the can­ al system may be gathered bj'’ a brief survey of the route. From Montreal to Lachine runs the Lachine Canal, after which the ship proceeds for 14 miles up Lake St. Louis, to enter the Soulanges Canal, at Cascades. She leaves this waterway at Coteau Land­ ing, for 26 miles of Lake St. Francis, really a widening of the St. Lawrence River, which she follows up to Corn­ wall, Ont., where she enters the Corn­ wall Canal, which is not left until Dicksons’ Landing. Thereafter she follows the river by means of a ser­ ies of short canals; the Williamsburg Canal, and the Iroquois Canal, to re­ join the St. Lawrence proper, at Car­ dinal, Ont., following it until Kings­ ton, Ont., where Lake Ontario is rea­ ched, the home-stretch, aS it were, of the journey to Toronto. « GEMS FROM LIFE’S SCRAP-BOOK enemies “Nave you fifty friends? it is not enough.
