New Dairy Rules New regulations covering the milk, cream and cheese industries in On- tario have been issued by Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, 'Minister of Ag- ricultpre, under the Dairy Products Actt, 1930, Many, of the old' regula- tions stand and are co-ordinated with the new ones enacted by the de- partment. 'Under "Composite Testing of leilk," a new clause reads: "At all plants ex- cept where a Government official does the testing, the canepoeite slemples ,of milk shall be tested within five days tater the last samptle for the, testing period is taken, and kept for ten days following She day on which the com- posite samples are tested." A change in rules of sampling and testing of cream says that each 'pat- ron's cream shall be sampled and tested tor butter fat within thwiety-six hours after delivery at the plant Ait imporbaut change in premiums for different grades of cream reads: "When a premium of more then two cents is paid, the cream for which such a premium is paid s'ha'll test not more than two-'tent'hs per cent. acid," tPreViously three cents was bh.e lid premium in this. clause. Many rules covering ' the border areas between Provinces are enacted and much arranged:' through reciproc- ity between the Gov'ernmen'ts.

PAGE SEVEN Feathered Stowaway A pigeon that found itself "in the soup" was taken care of by a butcher; but will never end up in a pie, made the front: page a few days ago when the Canadian Pacific liner -"Empress of Britain" arrived at Quebec from Southampton with a homing pigeon on the list as a stowaway. The pigeon, eyeing the camera with a queralous expression, is seen above in the hands of J. Gibson, Chief Butcher of the Empress liner in whose keeping all travelling pets are placed Battered by storms after fighting heavy head winds for a number of hours the pigeon which had been released some 250 miles.west of • Land's•End in fog from the steam trawler "Ocean Lux", fluttered to rest on the tennis deckof the Empress of Britain. It carried a message showing time and place, of release and date of its last feeding. On the return of the big liner to England next week the feathered stowaway, after its two way crossing of. the Atlantic will be thrown into the air to find its.wayhome, with a message from Capt. Latta tied to its leg, in authentication of the strange story it will have to, tell. tests will form a basis from wlhiich recommendations will be made, itt bulletin form, that will aid bite fartii-erl in selecting a unit suited to his needs.' The investigations so far carried out indicate that an efficient cooler should reduce the temperature of an eight gallon can of milk from 95 degrees to 50 or less, in an hour. The cost cif this operation is estimated at tic() cents which is about half of the nor- mal cost of doing the same work with ice. The operation of these tests may be seen in the Physics Building at the College during. Farms 'and Home Week, June 19th to 23'rd, together with a demiottstrafion of how to con- struct a well insul'a'ted milk codling tanik, adaptalble for either ice or me'c'h- anical refrigeration.

From this stage of the pro- ceedings the Englishmen mentioned in the indictment received, only oc casional attention at the trial, in, eluding an explanation ' by 'Rainzin that he did not know ,the surname of Sir Philip "because English lords are s'h'ays called by their first .name, pre- fixed by the title, Sir" All the ac- cused were found.

The 'British were "'found" to have played a secondary part in the plot, the French being '`stigmatiz'ed" as the leading spirit in a gigantic con- spiracy to overthrow the Soviet 'Gov. ernmreitt by econom'i'c and military forces and to organize the p'arti''tion of the mese important parts of`Rus- sia 'am•ong the existing Sitates'pf :Eur- ope, 'Five of, the adcase'd were sent- enced to death, but as they had re- pented' and death,. given evidence to assist the Soviet 'Gov- ernment to thwartthe plot, their penalties were subsequently commut- ed to 10 years. Three were condemn- ed to 40 years, which was su'bse quently reduced to eight years' im- p ris'onmeet. The Shakhtinskytrial of 19128 had lasted six weeks and had ended with 11 sentences of death, of which five were carried oiit. During the pro- .ceed'ings the three Germans had been segregated .from the 50'Russians in consequence of strong representations 'by the Gsbsottn Government and their case was heard separately, chiefly in private.

The prisoners ' were , he said, un- questionably socially dangero nes , Therefore the task for the Court. could not be difficult, and there could be only ,one verdict— 'death. It may also be added that the whole Court,. including the so-called defending counsel, is ranged on the side of the prosecution. Their duties are not to prove or disprove the c'h'arges in the official indictment, as the. guilt of the prisoners has been decided and of- ficially proclaimed in advance. , The proceedings are staged merely to "demonstrate" the guilt. (Far citizens of the Soviet Union. this aspect and this 'purpose of a ,Sovi- et trial are regarded as a natter of course, For internal purposes the 'S'ov'iet authorities themselves do not pretend itis otherwise, but describe it officially as a "demonstrative triad." At the S'h'akhtinsky trial two of the counsel far the defence (NM.11. Denn- ike and 1M•uravieff) broke the 'har- mony of this arrangement by attempt- ing to plead that the prisoners whom. they were to defend were innocent. Rryeleinsiy, the presiding Judge (who is the 'State Prosecutor in the case against the ;British engineers), order- ed the immediate arrest and trial of these two Red lawyers for "collusion" ltd disloyalty to the Soviet regime and they left the tGo:urt in the custody Of agents of the O1G.IP:U. EMPIRE STATE TOWER BRINGS BIG REVENUE IT'he Empire 'State Building tower has completed its second year of oper- ation with a total atten•d'ance for the. twelvemonth df something over 425,- 000. 155;{100. This is almost exactly half of .the attendance figure for the previous ear, reports Y , eP is the New Yorker. ,which goes on to explain: In those days, of .course, • the tower was more of a nov- elty. Also, there were more tisitirs in 'tawn.'Whoever counts visitors has. dis- covered a decrease of. sixty per cent. in the past year. Li late February the management cut the price to 55 cents 'after 6 pen., but the reduction didn't increase business, and after a week or so it was pat back to $1.10, which, they say; will be permanent.
