From the shores of our Motherland comes an appeal for help which no true Canadian can fail to heed. While we live in comfort, death drops on that embattled island. The need for Red Cross assistance is urgent. Our sons and brothers are over there. On land, at sea, in the air, they face death daily. We must be prepared to help them when they are sick or wounded. Red Cross help is needed on behalf of soldier and civilian alike. Hospitals and hospital equipment, surgical supplies and dressings, ambulances and X -Ray equipment will be needed. Overnight the need may become so urgent that lives may be sacrificed if help cannot be sent at once. Never before has there been so great a need for Red Cross assistance. This challenge to humanity must be answered. Give to the Red Cross. Give to the utmost NOW !

LANCASHIRE'S COLOSSAL ORDER Java Buys 22,000,000 Yards of Gem - brio Cloth An oder for 22,000,000 yards of cambrics has come to Lancashire from Java as the result of the polit- ical changes in Holland and the Dutch East Indies. The total value of the order is £600,000 and it represents one of the largest single transactions ever put through by Lancashire firms. It will be carried out by 40 firms of manufacturers and a large num- ber of spinners of medium American yarns. The size of the oder exceeds the whole requirements of the United Kingdom for 1935, yet it represents only .075 of Lancashire's "all out" capacity for cotton goods production which could indeed dispose of it in two -days or three. The order will be handled by 14,- 500 4,500 workers without interfering in the slightest with Government orders for the fighting forces. All interests concerned in the exe- cution of the order -manufacturers, spinners, bleachers and merchants— will be registered as the First Export Syndicate under the Cotton Board set up by the Board of Trade. Negotiations are already in prog- ress for further Java trade with Lancashire, the chief lines being bleached and printed cloths and fancies. The 22,000,000 yards of cambric are being manufactured for shipment to Java between September and De- cember. Little Dora, aged seven,, is extreme- ly precocious for her years. She is also inordinately fond of her mat- ernal grandfather, who resides with her parents. "Mummy," she said, when a fash- ionable wedding was being discussed, "when I've grown up I shall marry grand -dad." Her mother told her that such a union would be illegal and finished up by saying: "Well, in any case, I couldn't allow you to marry mY father." "Why not, mum?" queried the pre- cocious one. "You married mine, didn't you?" Visitor—"Is this village lighted by electricity?" Native—"Only when there's a thun- derstorm." Diner—"Are you the waitress who took my order?" Waitress—"Yes, sir."
