COMMISSION SUG-
GESTS CENTRAL BANK
Immediate establishment of a cen-
tral bank for Canada d with a capital
of $5,000,000 to be secured by public
subscription, is recommended in the
long-awaited report of the :Macmillan
commission on banking.
The bank, which would take over
the sole right of issuing notes and
have full charge of Canada's gold re-
serves, is urged in a majority
report from which Sir`., Thomas White
and Beaudry Leman submit dissent-
ing opitzions. The recommendation
constitutes the main feature of a cpm—
prehensive 100 -page analysis of the
situation in which Canada's banking
system conies in' for • a good deal of
praise and a small measure of mild
criticise}.
The powers of the Central, Bank
recommended by the Commission are
as follows
1. Regulate the external level of the.
Canadian dollar.
2. Take over from . commercial
banks the sole right to issue notes.
3. To •co-operative with central
banks of other British dominions on
monetary policies to support imper-
ial trade,'
4. To handle bank accounts and fin-
ancing of the Dominion Government,
and possibly of the provincial .govern -

SUCKERS ALL
(Alliance. Times)
There's one born every minute
About six weeks ago a man called
and invited us to subscribe to a cer
tain Canadian magazine for which, as
it happened our subscription has just
expired. '• We succumbed to his plead-
ing, and haven't heard of him or the
magazine to this dray. It serves us
right, and our chief reason for men-
tioning it here is that it may- act as
one more warning to a sympathetic
but gullible 'public to refrain from
dealing with unknown peddlers re-
gardless of the standing of the firm
they claim to represent or the qual•
ity of their wares.
A stranger recently travelled thru
the country selling, among' other
cooking utensils, waterless cookers
priced at around $15 -in one dist; ict
alone he sold close to $2,000 worth.
Last Saturday, we walked into a hard-
ware store and, noticing a waterless
cooker on the shelf, •examined the
price. tag. Believe . it or not, it read
$5,76. The storekeeper informed; tis
there had been very little demand for
them and yet a total stranger can
travel around the country and sell
hundreds of them at three times their.
value. High-pressure salesmanship'
has been developed into a: fine art,
but there is something wrong when
people will pay $2,000 for about $750
worth of waterless cookers,• or when
a man pays for a magazine he never
gets. As one sucker to another, we
got what we deserved.

WHEN THE PAPER DOESN'T
COME
My father says the paper ,he reads
ain't put up right.
He finds a lot of fault, he does, pur-
usin' it all night.
He says there ain't a single thing in
it worth while to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind of
stuff the people need.
He tosses is aside and says it's strict-
ly on the bum—
But yoti ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He reads about the weddin's and he
snorts like all get out;
He reads the social doin's with a
most derisive shout.
He says they make the paper for the
women folk • alone,
He'll read about the parties and he'll
fume and fret and groan.
He says of information it doesn't have
a crumb--
But
rumb—But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.

A Chevrolet Anniversary
Observance by Chevrolet of its
22nd anniversary brings out some in-
teresting figures. The Chevrolet Mo-
tor Company, Michigan, started pro-
duction on a modest scale in Novem-
ber, 1911, its output for the remaind-
er of the year, not exceeding 5 or 6
cars. In the full year of 1912, pro-
duction totalled 2,999 cars -a mark-
ed contrast to production in 1933,
which has already crossed the 600,000
mark.
In the course of a lecture held in
the New York Police School an eld
erly man came into the room, said a
few words to the lecturer; and then
left. The Iecturer turned to his 'pup
ifs—lui,rl,y policemen, toughened by
frequent encounters with gunmen --
and commanded: "Take your note..

cription of that titan, Special marks
will be given for a correct account
of which hand' he held his stick in."
Of the 42 pupils 17 gave the left hand

Authorship of Poetic
Genn Lang Kept Secret
What a big niche in literature can
beu'
sec zed by a little poem Is preyed
by the tafstory of that exquisite bal-
lad, "Auld Robin Gray," written by
Lady Anne I3ar'n;trd in'1771. The eth-
er if dozen Q,l+en Ur $p pieces ees by Lady
Anne are entirely negligible. For more
than fifty years the authorship of
"Amid Robin° Gray" was a Complete
mystery. It was in 1823 that she re-
vealed her secret to Sir Walter ,Scott.
When Lady Anne Lindsay (as she
was before her marriage)—set ;about
writing a new Scottish ballad to the
tune of ,an old one that. had "naughty
words," she probueeil a song she never.
could have guessed would be celebrat-
ed for generations. In the letter to
Scott In 1823' (given In "The Private
Letter Look of Sir 'Walter Scott,"
edited by. Wilfred Partington) in
which Lady Anne confesses to the au-
thorship of "Auld Robin Gray," she
says:
"1 was pleased In secret with the
approbation it :net with, but such
was my dread of being suspected of
writing anything, that I carefully kept
my own secret"
It was considered daring, if not in-
delicate, for a .lady to aspire to an-
thorship in those days, --Kansas` City

Positively the Latest -
in "Simplified English"
What is described as "a scientific
and practical method of simplifying
English spelling" has been worked out
by' a Swedish professor, who calls his
system "Anglic." . It is designed espe-
cially for the use of foreign students.
The professor apparently has the idea
that "Anglic" may become a sort of
universal language, because, be ex-
plains, in the "nue speling" he has
devised, that 'he wants to "pie" our
"langgwig the hiest kompliment pos
sibl by endevering to meek it noen,
uead, luvd, and apreeshiaeted au] over
the world." Such a language—which
all may read -has been worked out
between the British railways and a
number of foreign lines. It consists of
a series of picture labels, affixed to
goods"carried by rail, which are going
from one country to another. The.
labels show the nature of the goods
and, consequently, bow they have to
be, treated. • For instance, one design
shows a fish, a Hower, and a bunch of
grapes. This means perishable traffic
which would deteriorate if not de-
livered quickly.
Eyes for the Blind
In ever-increasing numbers Ger-
man shepherd dogs, better known ` in
this country as police dogs, are be-
ing employed as guides for the blind.
The dogs used are generally females,
for they are less easily distracted than
males. They require only three or
four months of training to lead: a
blind man safely through crowded,
streets and dangerous construction
work. The commands, "right," "left,"
and "forward" are known and obeyed.
by the dogs but also they are trained
to disobey if carrying out the order
Involves danger. The intelligence of
these dogs is beyond belief unless
one sees 'them In action.
Unbreakable Glass
Glass used for the "hull panes"—
not portholes now—of a new liner is
of a special. kind that has withstood
a pressure of twenty tons. In one
test of this glass, a piece of It weigh-
ing fifty-six pounds was dropped
eighteen feet on to a steel plate. It
came through this ordeal without
showirir even a'erack. But glass now-
adays can 'be • .ven lerfully resistant.
in certain tests of a •Planet -.goer glass
recently, a .303 bullet was fh'ed at , t
it a range of five .yards., The giass
plate under test was about an inch
and n half thick and was made up of
three layers. The bullet starred the
first layer, but made no impression
on the second.
Find Elephants at. Bath
On a world cruise you may be dis-
appointed at not seeing elephants in
Ceylon, unless you plan to make your
trip with knowledge of where they
may be found, ' Ceylon has been the
great home of elephants from earliest
history, yet many wlio visit Colombo
or Kandy never see one, though they
search the streets of those cities for
days.So, when in Kandy, get a rick-
sha and go down to the Isatagastota
river, about three miles away, h>i`the
afternoon, and you will findtheriver

RESTORATION FUND
DRIVE TO CONTINUE
Second Year of Campaign $tarts with
Renewed Effort to Reach. Objective.
Toronto — With approximately
$800,000 subscribed out of'a total ob-
jective of $1,076,250 the Church of
England in Canada is starting the se-
cond year of its three-year campaign
to replace the missing trust funds
of the ecclesiastical province of Rup-
ert's Land, to strengthen the Pension
Fund of the church and to provide a
sustentation fund for other diocese,
in need of financial assistance.
Rev. Canon C. W. Vernon, acting
director of the Campaign in the ab-
sence of Canon S. Gould, in appeal-
ing to church people throughout the
Dominion for renewed effort stress-
es the vital necessity of pressing for-
ward the work in order that the to-
tal objective ntay be secured "so that
the $100,000 to strengthen the finan-
cial position of the Pension • Board and
the $200,000 to be applied to the re-
lief of diocesan financial problems
and needs maybe assured:"
Reports that the Restoration. Fund
had been over -subscribed; were inac-
curate, Canon Vernon stated in des-
cribing what g til at had been accomplished.
Subscriptions to *the amount of about
$300,000 were still required if the
church was to go "over the top." In
campaigns of• this nature there was
the inevitable shrinkage through sub-
scribers finding it impossible to im-
plement pledges made in good faith
and it was likely that an even greater
sum would be needed.
Canada's Tobacco Record
The facts that tobacco exports from
' la exceeded imports last year for
the first 1,..e. on record and that pro-
duction of leaf tt..?ceo (54,094,000
lbs.) was also the large;.* nn record,
owe some of their significance' te,,wthe
practical results of 'the work and fos-
tering care of the Tobacco Division
of the Dominion Department Of Ag-
riculture. For many years e xperl-
merits and, tests Stave been conducted.
at" the Central Experimental Faint,
ly itt Harrow; Ont., and L'Assomp-
tion, P.Q., the valuable information
thus gained proving of inestimable
worth in building tip the tobacco in-
dustry of the Dominion. At the prc-
sent time many studies are being pur-
sued with reference to the further in-
crease of yield, the effects of varrous
cultural treatments on leaf maturity,
physiological changes accompanying
curing, burn tests, fertilizer 'trials,
steam sterilization of tobacco plant
beds, etc. In each of the five plain
Ottawa, and at other centres, notab-
types of tobacco grown in Canada,
there are many varieties shown. Pre-
liminary studies have shown that stri-
king
resemblances and differences ex-
ist between many varieties of the
commercially grown varieties of flue,
Burley and dark types, and on this
basis the varieties of these types were
grouped by the Division into sub-
types' to the benefit of growers and
the market generally.
