PARADEII.
HIATC-tET CEREMONY; The Roy-
al Visit has accomplished some-
thing concrete in Canadian pol-
itics, if we are to jnclge by
the evidence of a thousand
eyes at Woodbine Park, the day
that the King and Queen were in
Toronto Basking in the sun-
light of the royal smiles, two less.,
er hearts were seen to warm to
each other ,... Prime Minister Mac-
kenzie King and Premier- MiteheIl
Hepburn, celebrated Liberals, cele-
brated enemies, in full view of the
public buried their political hatch-
et, so it seemed. Beaming, each.
endeavored to outdo tiie other in
?oiliness, deference. They almost
stole the show,
Remembering all the nasty words
ea recently said about the Federal
Liberal leader by our provincial
legislative head, we marvel. Are
the two really getting togelther
once more in the normal way? Or
was the display of affection a one -
day wonder? We'll have to watch
the papers to find out.
CRISIS IN AUGUST: G. Ward
price, representative of London,
England's, Daily Mail on the royal
tour of Canada, and himself a for-
eign correspondent of note makes
predictions concerning the inter-
national situation which are as
good as the neat man's guess. Pro-
phesies Mr, Price: "I see no war
in Europe this summer no war
over Danzig at any time I look
for another crisis about the first
Of August. At that time I expect
the axis powers to make threaten-
ing demands against Hungary and
Rumania."
Personally, we think Mr. Price is
correct. Hitler will either take
Danzig unopposed, within the next
couple of weeks (before France,
England and Russia have signed
their tri -power pact), or he'll have
to shelve his ambitions in that dir-
ection, till the harvest is in the
barns, at any rate, Then the Frue-
her will have another try at pulling
one more plum out of the inter-
national pie.
THAT ELECTION; Nobody's an-
nounced there's going to be one
this year, but everybody's netting
ready for an early federal election.
The two old-line parties, Liberals
and Conservatives, are pretty well
prepared. The C C. is':—maple',

mocracy movement is being launch-
ed. bsr Mr. ;>;Ierridge, backed up by
the Socreds and the Communists.
They're all banking on the expec-
tation that if the Royal Visit is a
howling success, tbe federal Gov-
ernment will wish to cash in on its
present popularity and go to the
polls before autumn rolls round.
THE WEEK'S QUESTION: How
is great Britain now proposing to
settle the Palestine problem? Ans-
wer: The British plan calls for:
1, a permanently .Arab -dominated
state with a frozen Arab majority
of two to one; 2, restriction or
Jewish immigration for the, next
five years to 75,000, bringing the
total Jewish population to anprox-
;mately 525,000 (Arab population,
990,000); 3, restrictions on the sale
of land to .Tews; 4, an independent
Palestine with guarantees for the
Jewish minority, following a ten-
year period of increasing self-gov-
ernment.

isn't very popular with world Jewry
nor with the extremist Arab ele-

Chinese Narnes
For Foreigners
Their Nicknames For Us Are
Sometimes Flattering — But
More Often They're Not
What's in a name? A good deal
---11 your business and home hap-
pen to be in China, for there your
peculiarities and servants will
surely find you out. Nearly all for-
eigners in China have a "weihao,"
or nickname, but these are given
from no ill -feeling.

not at times avoid overhearing if

selves by reflecting on the Chin-
ese proverb. "A horse witbout
nightfeed will never grow fat; a
man without a nickname will never
get rich."
Slistress is not forgotten when
the nicknames are chosen. If she
keeps a keen eye on household ac-
counts and tries to prevent
"squeeze," she will undoubtedly be
dubbed some such thing as "Count -
eggs," "Save -tea," or "Scrimp -
coal," unless her personal appear-
ance calls for such an appellation
as "Fat-Iegs," "Squint -eye."
Niagara Fruit
Crop Thriving
Bumper Yield Is Seen by Agri-
culture Minister Dewan and
Assistants On Inspection
Hon, P. M. Dewan, Ontario min-
ister of agriculture, said "it looks
like a bumper crop of fruit in tbe
Niagara district this year," follow-
ing a trip through the area.
Every Prospect aright
Mr. Dewan was accompanied on
his tour by P. W. I3odgetts, dir-
ector of the Agriculture Depart-
ment fruit branch, acid E. F. Palm-
er, director of the horticultural ex-
periment station, Vineland. Follow-
ing a tour of the experiment sta-
tion where 10,000. trees were iit
full bloom, the party motored to
Niagara -on -the -Lal:. and visited
the orchards of several growers.
"No fruits have missed fire this
year," said Mr. Palmer. "Every
kind of fruit tyre was loaded with
blossom. Prospects for an excellent
crop of cherries, pears, peaches,
plums and apples are exceedingly
bright.'

Says Dirigible
Best Defence
Bomb Designer Suggests Their
Use To Guard Coasts
The man who invented one of the
most deadly of modern war weap-
ons—the aerial bomb—believes dir-
igibles would serve America best
in defence of its shores.
John W. Curren, of Washington,
who also designed the tracer bul-
let and other military weapons,
said last week that dirigibles
would be 'of inestimable value" in
defence operations,
"Eyes" Of Defending Forces
from "They would be the eyes
and intelligence of our defending
forces," he said.
Curell pointed to the "enormous
Cost" of building battleships, and
said:
"Those who still advocate the
construction of battleships cannot
give a convincing argument as to
what service they will be in de-
fence operations"

MILKING THE FARMER
Writing an essay on "Cows", a
student rises to the heights of wit
when he says: "The most import-
ant part of a cow is the receptacle
in which the milk is stored. This
is called the udder. By a clever
arrangement it is divided into four
eompartments each with a separ-
ate tap. By this means the milk
is divided at the source so that
one part goes to the landlord, one
to the mortgage company, one to
'the government, and one to the
farther." -- Bown anville States-

FOR MEN OF GOOD WILL
We do not pretend to be an eco,

dition. 'Cntil the world settles

armament race, and nations trade
again with one another and forget
ultra -nationalism, there cannot be
a solution of all our difficulties.

not try to place our own house in

same time be prepared to co-oper-

Weil -Known Literary Critic
Says 'Trash' O.K. For Chil-

William Lyon Phelps thinks
"trashy" reading—it it's hair-rais-
ing—doesn't harm children.
"Let them read a lot of trash if
it is exciting," the Yale scholar and
critic said last week, "And by tact
and sympathy they can be led to
read better books.
"Don't try to stuff books down
their throats."
Discussing adult reading, Phelps
condemned ''sentimental garbage,"
but praised detective fiction.
"The morons read slush," he
said, "but I don't know a single
intelligent person who isn't fond.
of murder stories."

Feeding Governs
Fowl's Progress
Within Four or Five Weeks of
Killing Time Start the Fat-
tening Process
In preparing poultr; to weigh,
when dressed, 31/z to 4% lbs., the
birds should have normal treat-
ment up to within four or five
weeks to killing time, that is to
say, a well balanced starter ration
fololwed by scratch grain and a
suitable growing ration.. At the per-
iod referred to, the cockerels which
are intended for market should be
placed on a limited range so as to
restrict their activity, shade and
marketing weight is reached they
proper roosting accommodation be-
ing provided. From this time until
should be soft fed using skim milk
or buttermilk as a mixer. Such a
feeding, three times a day, should
permit of satisfactory growth with
a greater proportion of fat being
laid down than under ordinary rear-
ing . treatment. Since white flesh-
ing will be desired the limited
range should not have green
growth on it and feeds which pro-
duce yellow fat such as yellow
corn should not be fed or if fed
should be given only in small quan-
tities. Since eorn is the most sat-
isfactory grain for fattening pur-
poses, it should make up a por-
tion of the fattening mask, ground
white rather than. yellow corn
being used. Buckwheat and wheat
are the next most satisfactory
grains with oats and barley being
somewhat inferior and of similar
efficiency, A combination of any
of the above grains on the basis
of their comparative value and of
availability and cost should form
the basis for a satisfactory ration.
During the last two weeks of fat-
tening, five per cent of melted mut-
ton or beef fat, should be added
to the mivtnre, •Thisis ,accomplish- ••
ed by melting the fat and mixing

Cars' Mechanisms
It is harder to drive safely to-
day—even with all the mechanical
improvements and hard -surfaced
roads—than it was five or 10 years
ago, believes H. B. Hawkins, of
Cleveland, 0., who has driven bus-
ses more than 1,000,000 miles in
16 years without an accident.
"There are too many 'smart alec'
drivers on the roads today," he
said, "They give the more exper,
fenced drivers the jitters."
"I'm proud of my no -accident
record," said Hawkins, who has
"rolled" a bus through every state
in the Union and in Canada and
Mexico since first getting behind
the wheel of a common carrier in
1921.
