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', Is getting under: way;, the NeSs 'D"e-' 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. elf-government. Needless to say, the plan isn't very popular with world Jewry nor with the extremist Arab ele- ment in the Near East, Five Meals Daily Would Be Better Survey of Rest Periods For Workers Shows That More Frequent Meals Result hs Less Fatigue A. recent survey of rest periods for workers conducted by the in- dustrial Accident Prevention As- sociation indicated that if the av- erage person had five meals a day Instead of three he would be less tired at the er of the day and would have accomplished a better day's work, The report said that It was assumed au individual would eat no more food in five meals than he would In three meals.

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. Chiefly Descriptive Although they are supposed not. to know, master or mistress can- not at times avoid overhearing if the houseboy, ever the essence of politeness and deference when in the august presence, calls cheer Ily .to,the kitchen that "Old Red- fae'e"ar "Y The Large -eared One',' has, returned and wants tea in: a hurry- They may console them- 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.

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- man. FOR MEN OF GOOD WILL We do not pretend to be an eco, nomist, but we have a foolish idea that no one country can solve the woes of today. It is a world con- dition. 'Cntil the world settles down to peace, cuts down the road armament race, and nations trade again with one another and forget ultra -nationalism, there cannot be a solution of all our difficulties. This does not mean that we should not try to place our own house in order ;as. : far 'as., possible.

Hair -Raising Books Favored Weil -Known Literary Critic Says 'Trash' O.K. For Chil- dren if Exciting 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." NEW IDEAS ADVERTISEMENTS are your guide to modern Liv- ing.

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 quickly with the mash while hot so as to avoid large lumps.

Safe Driving Harder Today Perfect Driver Since 1923 Says Danger on the Road Grows Even With improvements In 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. 4h/2 BEE HIVE LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher "Wait until he shows some progress before spending any honey on strings!!"
