Just setting sane as winds freshen., Weather squally. Expect reach So- ciety Islands October 20.—Melville," This is the latest message reoeived here from Commander Byrd's ship City of New York, which cast off its lines from the repair pier here at 10.45 a.m.'Sunday, 23rd, and steamed seaward on its long voyage to Dune- din, New Zealand, Captain Melville's message was sent by radio at 2 p.m,, When the barkentine was off Bona Is- land, where it had been forced to turn back Monday on account of the engine trouble which was, remedies by the re- pairs here. The City of New York was lost sight of at 4 p.m., winging along under full sail, with the weather still squally. R. G. Lewis, a news photographer, "piekedup" the ship from a seaplane at 3 o'clock and flew over it for an hour. When the crew next hears the hum of airplane motors, it will prob- ably be against the silence of the Ant- erotic. No ship visiting the Panama Canal has made so many friends as the City of New York and hundreds were at the pier to wish its crew godspeed. The craft's whistle was busy returning sal- utes as it left the harbor. One of the first things done aboard after leaving the pier was to search from stem to stern for stowaways, as Captain Melville did not care to carry any more. The family of Lyle Womac bade him farewell at sailing time. His father, the manager of the Womac Whiskey Co., presented a barrel of Old Panama whisky, which was taken in charge by Dr. Colman, who announced that it would be used only for medi- cinal purposes. Captain Melville expressed appre- ciation of the work done by the em- loyes of the mechanical division here in speeding the departure of his ship. "They dropped everything that could wait and did our work," he said. "I appreciate it and know Commander Byrd will when he learns the details." The City of New York will now make all possible haste in order to complete the voyage to her bas'; be- fore the ice sets in. "Further delay would be dangerous to the plans of the expedition," Cap- tain Mellville said. 'As the formation of the Polar ice pack occurs in Janu- ary and if the City of New York is not in position at the time the freeze takes place, the entire expedition may be delayed a full year." Knowledge of the things the bar- kentine would face in the next two years seemed to create an air of grim- ness aboard as it sailed, but Captain Melville and the crew were happy to be on the way after three days lost in making repairs. Newspaper corres- pondents were taken off at the outer anchorage and the ship headed sea- ward. Captain Melville gave orders to dip the flag and Conran drew down the Stars and Stripes in farewell to the Port of Balboa, the last territory under the American flag until the return from the great adventure. A few min- utes later the flag came down again, passing the cruiser Galveston of the Special Service Squadron, which had just blown a salute to which the tiny whitle of the City of New York piped a reply, The course of the City of New York will cross the equator near the Gala- pagos Islands. Taking advantage of. the trade winds, the ship will be push- ed to the Society Islands, where more coal will be taken on before proceed- ing to Dunedin, to await there the ar- rival of Commander Byrd for the dash to the Antarctic barrier. Calls Britain Puritan i Despite "Jazz" Veneer Paris.Lucian homier, editor of "Fi- garo," recently returned from a trans - Channel visit convinced that England was unchangeably Victorian, despite an epidemic of jass, cocktails and un - puritan distractions. "Nowhere in the world," he write, do the old customs of Europe survive as in England and honest Scotland. "Great Britain still has her lessons to give, but who heeds them? She struggles, but, on the whole, she is Jstlil In the Victorian era. .A. kind of heavy, dverp9wering spirit of the past pervades the atmosphere, the imagine tion and breath of the IOW World are missing.

It is hardly too much to say that it is about the best general purpose apple, "Who can name an early apple with fewer faults of fruit than a McIntosh ready to eat in August?

Dry Law Not Good for China, Says General Chiang, Abstainer " Shanghai,—General Chiang Kaishek, the boyish looking general who led the southern forces from Canton to Shang- hai and on to Peking, is a conserva- tive revolutionist. Ile also has views on prohibition of alcoholic drinks, In an interview with The Associated Press lie disclosed an unexpected familiarity with the ideas, customs and manners of the West, which have been forcing their way into Chinese life. He admits their value and power, but clings unwaver- ingly to the customs and arts of his own country' and in some instances resents the intrusion of Western ideas, A teetotaler and a non-smoker, Gen- eral Chiang is repelled by the Ameri- can institution of prohibition. Indul- gence or abstinence in regard to alcq- hot.or tobacco is a question for each man to decide for himself, General Chiang believes. Personally he has decided for abstinence. But, he added, "I cannot be enthusiastic about your Americau prohibition, because it does at appear to me that the state can regulate every phase of the private life of an individual, "We are a nation of individualists, and do not easily give up our personal inclinations." He also indicated a feel- ing that such interference is beneath the dignity of government. "There is so much for us to do that is elemental in the reconstruction of the country that we cannot afford time for what one must regard as 'secondary ques- tions," Protects Aged In a report from Vancouver giving the total payments in old -age pensions in British Columbia from Oct. 1, 1927, to March 1, 1928, as $262,904, of which the Dominion Government contributed half, it is noted that the idea of pro- tecting aged ciizens of the Dominion is gaining ground fast since the enact- ment of the Dominion pension law. Saskatchewan began paying old -age pensions last May, and the Commis- sioner of the Yukon Territory has been authorized' to do the same. Mani- toba has passed the necessary legis- lation for old -age payments and they are expected to begin in October. The number of pensioners in British Col- umbia is 2,712 and the average month- ly payment to individuals $17.43. :z o Two Salad Dressing Hints The vinegar saved from a bottle of sweet pickles makes a very de- lightful addition to French dressing, out constipation and indigestion, colds used in the same proportion and in and simple fevers and making teeth - place of ordinary vinegar.

The White Star Line Loudon office officially announced on Sept. 8 that the new liner recently laid down for the company by Harland and Wolff, at their Queen's Island Yard, Belfast, is to have a tonnage of 60,000, and will hence be the largest vessel in the world. Since the fltstannouncement was made last April the plans have been considerably enlarged so as to sur- pass the dimensions of the new Cun- ard liner now building at Clydebank whose tonnage is estimated at 58,000. The largest ships afloat to -day are all Atlantic liners. They are the Ma- jestic (White Sttu'), 56,621 tons; the Leviathan (U.S. Shipping Board), 54,- 282 tons, and the Berengaria (Cunard) 52,226. The new White Star liner, with an estimated speed of 30 knots, is expected easily to win the Atlantic record which is now held by the Orn- erier Mauretania, which was built twenty-two years ago. BABY'S OWN TABLETS ALWAYS IN THE HOME Once a mother has used Baby's Own Tablets for her little ones she always keeps a supply on hand, for the Rrst trial convinces ,her there is nothing to equal them in keeping children well.

An Act of Faith Manchester Guardian ((Lib,): The Pact does not automatically turn the world into a Garden of Eden. It does not even take as automatically out of Bedlam, but it gives statesmanship a new start; it gives mankind a new hope. It is lilce the League of Nations. Anybody can point out the weaknesses of the League; describe its failures, analyze its vices; but the League has put man's hope for peace and his nobler ambitions on a new basis is blind to the history of human institu- tions, The Pact is not a mere act of policy: it is an act of faith. Nobody, j therefore, calf hleasttre its effect on the invagination of the world. I venture to estimate that the knowledge that has come from ex- periments showing that this world has already existed for awbillion years and flat matt las in all probability another billion years ahead of him, is likely to have, in the long run, a much greater influence on human con- duct than the invention of either the wireless important airplane or P thought they may be. •-Dr. Robert Andrews Milliken.

WEAK AND NERVOUS .A Condition Always Due to Thin, Watery Blood. Thin blood and weak nerves gener- ally are found together. Red blooded people seldom complain of nervous- ness. The reason is that the blood feeds the nerves and keeps them toned up to do the work nature Intend- ed. When the blood is thin and weak it fails in this important function and nervous troubles follow. The follow- ing case will interest those who need a tonic for the blood and nerves. Mrs, D. Veno, Union Spuare, N.S., says:— "With a feeling of gratitude I write to tell you what Dr. Williams' Pink Pi118 did for me. I had become badly run down, and reached the stage when I could not do my housework. I was not only weak, but my nerves seemed completely shattered. The least noise would startle me and I was subject to nervous headaches. Worse still, I could not sleep at night. Perhaps I would get an hour or two sleep, and then lie awake for the rest of the night. I had reached a stage when I actually feared I would lose my mind. Up to the time I decided to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, nothing I had takes seemed to do me any good. I got a few boxes of these and soon there was no doubt they were the medicine to help me. As I continued the use of the pills I gradually grew stronger, ate better and could sleep at night, and now I am as well and strong as a woman could wish to be, I ]lope some other weak, nervous person will be benefitted by my experience." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 50c a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont. 111111N11111tIIIIm SHOCKING Scarecrow: Well of all the nerve.

RUMORS OF STOCK DIVIDEND POR IMPERIAL OIL. /tumors of a stock dividend have accompanied the recent upswing in Imperial Oil stock. For a consider- ablep eriod steady accumulation of the stock had been in progress around the 70 mark without causing any special change in quotations, This was re- ported to have been for the account of interests who are confident the com- pany will follow its usual policy of making a distribution in the forin of stock, rather than raying a larger cash dividend. No stock dividends or a ights have been given sine 1925, and it is fig- ured that the steadily larger profits which have been earned in the interim makes it likely that a divisit,n of the resulting increased surplus in one form or other is an early possibility. This belief has quickened the de- mand for the stock recently, and re- duction in the available supply in the market has resulted in the advance in price assuming a more rapid pace than has usually been the case in Imperial 011.

These enquiries are now being made for 1,500 50 -ton box cars and 30 tank cars. These 1,500 cars, when pur- chased, will replace a certain number of older box cars, scrapped annually. For the passenger service, enquiries have been issued for 25 first-class coaches, two combination baggage - smoking cars, and fifteen sleepers. These latter are of the twelve -section one drawing -room type. These orders will be placed during tui( autumn months.
