PICK HUSBAND FOR PRINCESS For 2.) rears, prior to Mrs. Situp sans arrival, 'Europeans' and Americ- ans picked possible brides for :Edward, 'Prince of Wales.

He is a double. cousin, and not a very distant one of the king. His father, the duke of Connaught, is the son of a'brother-of 'Edward VII. Alastair is thus the, great-grandson of Queen Victoria (while Princess Elizabeth is ,the great=great-granddaughter). His mo- fiher is a niece of George -V. He wiil inherit .from his mother the title of Fife at the sante time the title of his father, Duke of Connaught. He was born three days after the declaration of war and therefore is now around 24 years old, After -atudying at Eton, he now is sub -lieutenant in the Royal Scot Guards. He is bland and ath- letic and 'has a purely Scottish first name, Third, there is William John Rob ert, marquis of Hartington. He will iraherit one of the finest names and one of the most beautiful fortunes of the 'kingdom. His father is the duke of 'Devonshire (Cavendish) who fought bravely at Gallipoli and the 'played an important role at the Ver- sailles peace conference. His mother es Lady Cecil, daughter- of the mar- quis of Salisbury. The young marquis of .Hartington is •1'+3 years old: he has studied at Eton. He has a brother who is three years younger than he and who therefore is nearly the age of Princess Elizabeth. But Princess Elizabeth may also marry a foreign prince belonging to a royal or princely family of the Pro- testant world: Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands. The choice of a German prince seems to be excluded for a long time. There is no masculine heir in Hol- land, in the Orange -Nassau family.. And :he princes who are of the right age far Princess Elizabeth are not very numerous in the three Scandin- avian courts. There is, for instance, Prince Carl Johan of Sweden, duke of Dalecarlia. He is a close relative of many reign- ing families. He is the youngest of the four children of the throne heir of Sweden, and is partly British 'be- cause he is the son of Princess Mar- guerite of Great Britain. He is 31 years old His eldest brother. Gustaf Adolph, is the feture throne heir of Sweden. His only sister, Ingrid, has married the throne heir of Denmark. People greatly praise Carl 'Johan's sense of duty and .his ease. and simple character. He tikes horses, motor cars, and , . , archaeology. English is his second mother tongue. As to French, he knows it thoroughly; for he is at present in Paris. His closest rival might be Prince Gorm of Denmark. This young man of 119 bears the name of the first Dan- ish sovereign, Gorm :he Ancient. He is the nephew of King Christian K. His father is Prince Harold; his mother, Melena, is princes of Schles- wig-Holstein. He has three married sisters. a brother .oar years younger than he, Prince O1uf.

Tweedsmuir, Governor-General of Canada, to the International Plow- ing Match at \rinsing, near Barrie, Ont., on Thursday, "October 13th,, was announced today by J. A. Carroll, manager of this annual agricultural event, the greatest plowing match not only in bhe British Empire, but in the entire world, Last year the attendance was over 1110,000 at the four day event and this record, it is expected, will be shatter- ed this year. The dates are October Illlth'to Nth inclusive. There is no doubt," said Mr. Car- rot, "that the invitation of the Ontar- io Plowmen's Association was accept- ed 'by His Excellency because of his genuine interest M all phases of agri- culture and particularly good plow- ing and fine horses." Scotland, the :birthplace of Lord Tweedsmuir, is rich in .plowing lore, and her sons, well -skilled in the art, have transplanted a desire for good cultivation in every part of the Bri- tish !Empire, particularly Canada, where for over 1100 years plowing matches have been held. 'While there may be 70 or more modern and powerful tractors in op- eration on a busy day, double that number, about 040 competitor, will use strong reliable and well-groomed horses, the cream of the plowing teams in Canada. "A Horse Show is a special feature of the Match," said Mr, Carroll, As His Excellency has expressed a desire to spend about three hours at Minesing, his .hosts, the officers of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. are planning an interesting itinerary, which will permit an inspection of the nearby Forestry plantation, some of the good farms in the area, the tented city, with its numerous exhibits of farm implements and home conveni- ences, practical field demonstrations and other interesting features. "\\'e believe," said Mr. Carroll, "that His Excellency will watch the plow- ing contests with a knowing and keen interest, and should he decide to put his hand to the plow, there is no doubt a furrow straight, balanced and well packed, will follow him across the field." WOMEN DEMAND MORE VOICE IN WORLD Women are demanding a wider share in the political life of the na-' tions. Questions as to just where they stand at present and just where they mast Land in the future were raised during the conference of the Interna- tional Council of Women which is in session at Edinburgh, Scotland.

Germain Dulac, first woman film producer of France. The screen, according to Mme. IDulac, offers a storehouse of educational value. Ili the committee which for the past few days has been discussing the in- fluenee of public thinking of the cine- ma, a word was spoken for the -talkies." The women praised the collabora- tion neve being undertaken by pro- ducers of commercial pictures and educators to purpose of investigating the educational possibilities of the film in the teaching of social values and of 'Beneficial relationships. The motion picture rightly used, they said, constitutes one of the most valuable media for promoting international and litter -racial tolerance, and they urged that the Council should prompt its member Councils to do their utmost both in encouraging the production of good relationship pictures and in see- ing that •such :pictures are adequately advertised, Tise Cobncils of France and Bel- gium together proposed a resolution asking that the League of Nations Convention for the international cir- culation of educational films should be ratified and put into practice. They suggested that the Cinema Committee of the affiliated Councils might favor the formation of clubs with a high and disinterested object and a 'thorough understanding of the cinema.
