Among other details that created worry, too, was the question of whe- ther the president-elect should be welcomed sitting or standing. It settled itself.

Washington—he walked from his lodgings to the capitol to take the 'presidential oath. And the Jetkerson executive "man- sion" had a leaky roof, while the occupants climbed a lathier to reach the second floor. A rough rail fence, "unlit for a decent barnyard," en- closed the presidential residence. But Washington was a mere frontier outpost in those days. It was when Andrew Jackson as- sumed office in 1829 that a really hil- arious pantomime was staged. From west of the mountains he came, and the boys of the backwoods came with him. Washington streets were parad- ed by men in coonskin caps Incl buckskin jackets. They were hardy, boisterous souls of the pioneer strain. One writer has a picturesque touch in describing them: "Dien who .spat fic- curately, swore eloquently, and sating loudly the praises o1 Oltt Hickory." The citizens or W'ashhtgton were shocked. An outgoing presideut- John Quincy Adams—frowned, feroc- ciously, and declined to partake in either festivities or ceremonies. There was but one uniformed regi. 1110111 in the capital, but not a man in it would march as escort to Jack- son on itis way to inauguration. Let Jackson's own roughnecks take care Of him, they growled, They did take care of hint, and of themselves too. When the ceremony at the capitol was over, Jackson's ad- mirers, ten thousand strong; rushed to the white house demanding re- freshments. They crashed through the Rower beds and shrubs of the lawns. Through windows when the doors were too crowded they swarm- ed into the mansion. Into satin - covered chairs they flopped and put their muddy boots on polished tables. Jackson himself escaped from the too -enthusiastic mob through a Win- dow. It was only when tubs of punch were placed on the lawns that. the hilarious crowd was lured out of doors. After the hurricance teras spent, the task of cleaning and re- storing the white house commenced.Damage amounting to several thous- and dollars had been clone to rugs, glassware, furniture and draperies.

They set out to discover how to' improve the food value of white flour and bread and their investigations showed that the best way was to in- crease the amount of vitamin 8.1. in dour. - This vitamin is essential to good health, particularly during times of strain when there is a call on physi- cal and mental effort, British millers can now produce n loaf. fortified with more vitamin B.1., which is no different in taste and ap- pearance from the popular white loaf of to -day. Tests carried out by them in Britain's flour stills and 111 batter- ies show that the bread has the full amount of vitamin B,1., when deliv- ered to the Public.

And I believe I know the truth about the Air Force. I studied air warfare as carefully as a civilian can do so for 20 years, I have seen it in Spain, in Finland, and in other places. I have many friends 0111005 the officers of the Royal Air Force and I see then] often. I have checked up with the air ministry as carefully as 1 eau on their results, and I am certain that they are not overstating their suc- cesses. Indeed I believe the ilgtl es they have given 118 understate the. truth. Do yott remember what those lig- m'es are? In seven days last weep, our Roues brought down 570 Nazi airc'raf't In Britain and around its coasts. Of this total 377 were bomb- ers, and with the aircraft Goering lost 141111 of the pilots and expert view•, fn shooting theta down the R. A. F. lost 111 fighter aircraft, but 66 pilots escaped by parachute and regained their bases, Our loss in air- men over Britain 30115 thus just 55. 111 machines we lost one to 57 lost by Goering, in men we lost 1 to 18. But to these losses we must add he further loss of our raids against he enemy. During these same 7 ays, we lost in bombing operations n Germany, in German-occupied tend - d tory, in Italy, and in France, a total of 31 machines, That involved the loss of 130 of pilots and our trained bomber crew. Thus if we add up the total cost of our operations both in defence and attack it comes to 141 - aircraft against the Nazi 570, with the loss of 186 personnel against the Nazi 1411o, Otte to four in machines. 1 to 73:2 in area, These are the figures as the air ministry presents then to the press. And one one side they are cone plate, correct and final. Our losses are of course,. all icnown and they rrt• given in full, They are given '(1 for various reasons. But not least be- cause to )hide or understate them Would demoralize our pilots and their courage as nothing else could do. Faked official optimism is a most foolish forst of Dutch courage, end with a fighting force it brings swift retribution in its tracks. But it is not so certain that our air ministry gives the Nazi losses quite so fully. Indeed, it is not pos- sible to know for certain what they are. With modern aircraft the aerial dogfights are so swift and sudden that the turmoil of scores of simul- taneous combat is so great that Dot even the most experienced pilots can always be certain when his enemy has been destroyed. No victory is counted unless the pilot is quite cer- tain, and unless the evidence has been checked and counter -checked. Thus it is absolutely certain that there are -many Germans who are not counted but who never reach home. And our air command shakes no 111- lowanoe for then] of any -kind. Of course in all estimates of fighting it is right to leave a liberal margin for mistakes. That margin has been left, if only on one side of the ledger, It is a margin far wide' than truth. I ant fortified in this conviction by three stories told me by air offlcee who were themselves concerned and who have been my personal friends for many years. The first is of a Spitfire squadron which Whet something over 30- Ger- man bombers on our eastern coast.

In the air quality is fan more importimt than in any other kind of war. 51ne en Years ago an experienced author said (11x1 to oin a 11)21 urauehine could shoot (1pil001'l(t L1oh oppottettts ill t+U l Models witih no risk or .1at.g;'l' himself. 1 believe 011r air three is sup• erior to the Germans Ill Ole duality of its manpower. of its training sunt its morale.

And I believe I know the truth about the Air Force. I studied air warfare as carefully as a civilian can do so for 20 years, I have seen it in Spain, in Finland, and in other places. I have many friends 0111005 the officers of the Royal Air Force and I see then] often. I have checked up with the air ministry as carefully as 1 eau on their results, and I am certain that they are not overstating their suc- cesses. Indeed I believe the ilgtl es they have given 118 understate the. truth. Do yott remember what those lig- m'es are? In seven days last weep, our Roues brought down 570 Nazi airc'raf't In Britain and around its coasts. Of this total 377 were bomb- ers, and with the aircraft Goering lost 141111 of the pilots and expert view•, fn shooting theta down the R. A. F. lost 111 fighter aircraft, but 66 pilots escaped by parachute and regained their bases, Our loss in air- men over Britain 30115 thus just 55. 111 machines we lost one to 57 lost by Goering, in men we lost 1 to 18. But to these losses we must add he further loss of our raids against he enemy. During these same 7 ays, we lost in bombing operations n Germany, in German-occupied tend - d tory, in Italy, and in France, a total of 31 machines, That involved the loss of 130 of pilots and our trained bomber crew. Thus if we add up the total cost of our operations both in defence and attack it comes to 141 - aircraft against the Nazi 570, with the loss of 186 personnel against the Nazi 1411o, Otte to four in machines. 1 to 73:2 in area, These are the figures as the air ministry presents then to the press. And one one side they are cone plate, correct and final. Our losses are of course,. all icnown and they rrt• given in full, They are given '(1 for various reasons. But not least be- cause to )hide or understate them Would demoralize our pilots and their courage as nothing else could do. Faked official optimism is a most foolish forst of Dutch courage, end with a fighting force it brings swift retribution in its tracks. But it is not so certain that our air ministry gives the Nazi losses quite so fully. Indeed, it is not pos- sible to know for certain what they are. With modern aircraft the aerial dogfights are so swift and sudden that the turmoil of scores of simul- taneous combat is so great that Dot even the most experienced pilots can always be certain when his enemy has been destroyed. No victory is counted unless the pilot is quite cer- tain, and unless the evidence has been checked and counter -checked. Thus it is absolutely certain that there are -many Germans who are not counted but who never reach home. And our air command shakes no 111- lowanoe for then] of any -kind. Of course in all estimates of fighting it is right to leave a liberal margin for mistakes. That margin has been left, if only on one side of the ledger, It is a margin far wide' than truth. I ant fortified in this conviction by three stories told me by air offlcee who were themselves concerned and who have been my personal friends for many years. The first is of a Spitfire squadron which Whet something over 30- Ger- man bombers on our eastern coast.

The make of cheese was re- ported representing an increase of 9.9%. The cumulative output of fac- tory cheese in Ontario for the drat seven months 02 1940 now totals 51,- 187,466 pounds as against 45,039,220 pounds in the first seven months of 1939. The output of 4080111ery-butter In July amounted to 4,4% greater than in July 1939, The cumulative. output of butter is slightly greater than last 8811508, Theprice of c'eamery butter at Toronto averaged 22 rents per pound as compared with 31.9 cents in July 1939. The wholesale price if butter has remained relativ,•ly steady ,lur- ing the last three months in the neighborhood of 22 cents a pounce. Cheese prices for July were practic- ally the same as in the preceding month, but moderately higher than a year ago. Exports of daily products in June were considerably smaller than a .
