"Because 1 believe in you, Mr, Firestone, and my judgment leads me also to believe that there will be real opportunities for growth and development in the tire industry." Harvey S. Firestone was just really getting his own foothold then — he was making the first steps which would later make him one of the world's most famous men in com- merce and industry, BeSaw got the job. For 20 years he has been au indefatigable worker. Appointed President This week 11ir. BeSaw attended the annual stockholders' meeting of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. At the close of me directors' meeting, which .was held immediately after- ward, Mr. Firestone greeted him with the following words: "Well, Mr. Be - Saw, you've been made President of the Canadian Company.' The story 01 Earl W. BeSaw is the story of a boy with only a high school education and whose parents were in very modest circumstances and, therefore, not in a position to give him a college education, but Earl studied nights 'and holidays while selling tires in the great undeveloped Western States.

These mothers have found by actual experience that there is no other medicine for little ones to equal them. Once a mother has used them for her children she will use nothing else. Concerning them Mrs. Charles Hutt, Tancock Island, N.S., writes: "I have ten 'children, the baby being just six months old. I have used Baby's Own Tablets for them for the past 20 years and can truthfnlly.say that I know of no better medicine for little ones, I always keep a box of the Tablets in the house and would ad- vise all other other mothers to do so."

Today Firestone is rec- ognized as one of the leaders in the tire industry in Canada. ' In expressing his keen appreciation of his appointment as President of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company of Canada, Limited, Mr, BeSaw stated: "Canada's future is unquestioned, Her national resources are only beginning to be developed and her export trade Is expanding rapidly. Our Canadian organization Is complete from coast to coast, and we enter the year 1930 with a most modern factory, a loyal staff of workers, a sales force trainer in today's merchandising methods, and notwithstanding Firestone's rapid growth in Canada during the past six years, we look for even greater developments in the future." Outside the Family Du:ban Natal Mercury; A compar- ison of the speeches made in the Can- adian Budget debate early in the pres- ent year, and those coming from the Union Government benches at Cape- town during the discussions on the German Trade Treaty, the Flag Bill and on sundry other occasions show how enormous ie the gulf which the present reigning clique insists upon creating between South Afrioa and the remainder of the Colntuonwealth, It would be impossible to believe, did we not know it for a fact, that these speeches were all made in the Parlia- ments of Dominions having a common: allegiance. In Canada we find all par- ties committed to the policy of Im- perial Preference and to its extension wherever possible, and one of the chief cares of the Ministry during the de- bate to which we have referred was to show it was 'not lukewarm on the subject, for the temper of the House was such that the Prime Minister found it necesssty Id assure It that increases in the Preference granted by the Budget it was discussing were re- stricted only because it was desirable at the moment that they should do Lit- tle as possible by way of "change' of tariff. And this is the policy adopted in her own considered interest, not by a straggling colony which has to rely on subsidies from the British Treas- ury in order to make ends meet, but by the senior Dominion of the Com- monwealth, which hold's half a contin- ent in fee which inoludes within its territory the most productive granary of the world, and whose exports of wheat and flour alone exceed the total exports of the Union, including all our output of forty millions of gold and diamonds annually.

It took him back a long way to the time when such strings hung with flitches of bacon from smoke - blackened rafters. As he walked on farther and farther from the store he regretted that he had not tried to buy the string of onions. "Yet this is foolish," he said to him- self as neared lower Broadway. "That is a wholesale store and I couldn't use a dozen strings. Besides, I have nowhere to hang such a string, for my walls are of plaster and will hard- ly hold a nail. Better to go on buying a few Ioose onions in little paper bags. Yet there is something im- memorial about a string of onions, like a bed of mint or a cat sunning itself by a kitchen door." Some days later, on Fourteenth Street, he saw outside an Italian re- tail store many such strings looped over a barrel, He went lu, made his purchase and walked contentedly away with it, Back at the apartment, he made a survey, then drove. a nail into the side of the battered bookcase and hung up tate string of onions. It hangs there, a symbol Of something rude, earthy and hearty, something that has almost gone out of the world, and when the eye of the apartment' dweller catches It he forgets the din of riveting and the surly grumbling of rock boring ma- chines across the way Minard's Lln?nientfor Coughs.

The waiting room is a state of being after death, in which a few typical combatants discuss the war while it is still on. The burial Of German dead in a French Village ce- metery causes trouble among the ghosts, a medieval bishop arises from Aniiens Cathedral to save it from des„ truction, a cockney ghost sets out to understand the war that has been fatal to him, and the spiritual issues are curiously involved with a ghostly love affair and a war amongst the ghosts themselves. The story taken seriously gives some shrewd and in- teresting views on the war and that generation; taken in a lighter mood it will be found stimulating and amus- ing With its ironic humor.
