Zurich Herald, 1939-06-15, Page 7im NEWS PARADE ...I FORECAST: There's that.election again. We're talking about it a • tittle prematurely perhaps, but now that the King and Queen are on their way back. to England, the prospect of an autumn trap to the polls is No. 1 topic of conversa- Con in Canadian politics. We believe in getting our guess ii early, too . . . on what the House of Commons is going to 'J,00k like after the battle. It's our opinion that the Government will have lost a number of seats to the Conservatives (in 'Ontario chief- ly); that the Left -Wing group of C.C.F., Socred, Farmer -Labor, etc., will be there in. larger numbers— the West may never again vote enthusiastically for Liberals or Conservatives—to hold a very ef- 3'ective balance of power between the, two old-line parties. We can see both Liberals and Conserva- tives toadying to the Left -Wingers in order to gain their voting sup- port in the House. Or are we crazy? TOTS TODAY: The French ,Gen- eralStaff have been heard in re- cent weeks to brag that the Army oaf the Republic is now at its great- est efficiency since Napoleon, could :lick the Germany Army with one hand tied behind its back. Major George Fielding Eliot, American military expert, agrees. ,Says he: "It is the French army, mot the German which .is pre-em- Inent in Europe today. This re- mains a towering fact. But," he warns, "with every year that pass- ers, the conditions are likely to al- ter ,in favor of Germany, as her military machine improves, enlar- ges, gains experience and train- ing." POST -CONFESSIONAL: When Colonel T. E. Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" was published; the world thought that in it, the • great British leader of the Arabs (during the Great War) had made his last confessions. Now new light is being thrown on the mys- tery -hero's actions after the War with the publication of a chapter previously omitted from the book. This chapter.: reveals;that the Col -- oriel knew all along that the Arabs would be double cress,.e.r; ,,by velii &in. The Coloiie lka 'consistently refused money and decorations ' from the British Government, re- putedly as a protest against Brit- ain's welching on territorial pro- - anises made to buy up the Arabs l'or the Allies. THE WEEK'S QUESTION: Why yes Hitler mad when the story was recently circulated that three new typewriters had been deliver- ed to his Berlin office? Answer: The Fuehrer's eyesight is giving him. such a deal of trouble his secretaries have to type his apeeches on machines that have extra -large sized letters. Hitler refuses to appear in public with glasses and can't read ordinary printed matter without them.

But it may be a consola- tion to some to know that, at last, a powerful and effective lotion has been invented which will forever protect the fisherman from his an- nual trials and tribulations. The new lotion, which repels the mosquitoes, black flies and other -4insects; and.at the same time has a pleat odour; is, the latest 'dis= covery of. a :group, of scientists that dare working in collaboration with .;••• industrial company:. The Work on the part of the research special- ists was not any too pleasant ac- cording to reports. They spent a great may , trs yii g manyuvtar e- fested swamps, ties of existing insect repellents and many new formulas. They fin- ally discovered that, in every case, it wasn't the smell which kept the mosquitoes and black flies from biting. They finally invented a new formula and when they used it on their arms and face, it kept the in- sects away. To this formula, a pleasant per- fume was added. Further tests then proved the new lotion to be abso- lutely harmless for even the most tender skin. So it seems that this summer Canadians enjoying their favourite sport on rivers, lakes and • streams can successfully fight off biting insects without having to use a lotion with a strong unpleas- ant odour and without fear of even harming the most sensitive skin. And THAT is good news! HERE'S MORE DOPE One of our druggist friends, a contest dabbler in chemicals and anxious to help fellow anglers, has also claimed the following to be the "real stuff": Oil of citronella — 1 ounce Camphorated oil — 1-3 oz. Oil of tar 1-3 ounce Oil pennyroyal — one dra. Castor oil — four ozs. This will make a package easy to carry, Can be obtained at any drug- store, stays on longer and is easier to wash off.

Especially In Times of Crisis— Don't Fall Below Standard of Mother's Hospitality, Bride Broder Asks Bride Broder (Miss Mary White), Toronto woman journalist, speak- ing at Picton last month, asserted that it was in times of peace that it was. essential that people. live graciously. By gracious living, the popular columnist exblained, she meant "living simply,, unhurriedly, • calm, hospitable and without os- tentatious display." "That we have fallen far below the standard •of hospitality of Four mothers and grandmothers," was -thee 'opinion of Bride .:Broder: She attributed 'the so-called depravity among the "younger generation to mothers who did not have the time to make a proper home for their children. Deplores Hurried Atmosphere "Waste is the opposite to•graci- ous living, as opposite as the poles. There cannot be gracious living in a hurried atmosphere," she said, and quoted Earl Baldwin of Bewd- ley who, while in Toronto, charg- ed that"acceleration today is tak- en as the manifestation ' of civil- ization." Bride Broder frankly add- ed that hurry was a manifestation of empty-headedness, and showed a disordered mind and nature. Gracious living included the ele- ments of living one's daily life as if visitors were always present. When visitors did arrive there was no need of rush and confusion. Gracious living is simple living and not trying "to live up to the Jones - es."

Don't Plead Too Hard For Work IN DOLLARS AND CENTS Safety campaigns are usually thought of in terms of the human lives and human suffering involved. That is natural enough, and right enough, for they are the first con- sideration. But there is another side to it, and one not usually so easily grasped. That is the tre- mendous economic loss involved. More than 100,000 people are killed, and 375,000 crippled for life every year, and the annual economic loss is not less than three billion dollars, according to D. D. Fennell, president of the National Safety Council of the United States,—Regina Leader -Post. Vitamins may decide the out- come of the next war, according to Dr. Harold J. Jeghers, assistant professor at Boston University school of medicine. And he believes that the democ- racies hold the advantage in this respect. Dr. Jegherssaid that night - blindness, caused by Vitamin A. de- ficiency, prevented thousands of German. soldiers from fighting in the trenches at night during the World War. Among many other conditions possible from vitamin deficiencies are skin diseases, exopthal- fections, rickets, scurvy, pellagra, beri-beri, excessive bleeding, oste- omalacia, nervous disorders and war edema. :t GOUGE -IT THEM A SILVER BUTTER DISH roR -THEIR WEDDING RRESEls117 WHAT SI -CALL 1 PUT ON THE CARO ? ; Nr} Professor Giving Advice To Graduating Students Urges Them Not To Be Too Do- cile in.

You'll Be Beaten Down "With this in mind, I caution you., don't plead for work and don't take rudeness from any one.

An increase of nine per cent for the fiscal year ended last March was noted in the report. Last year 17,128 immigrants arrived in the Dominion compared with 15,643 for the year previous. British immi- grants totalled 3,375, United States 5,663 and from other countries, 6,- 7726, it said. Refugees Now Coming In The figures will be considerably higher for the coming year it was understood, due to an influx of German refugees from Czecho- Slovakia. The first of these arriv- ed recently and it is expected when the migration is complete nearly 1,500 families will have been set- tled an farms in Canada.

A.—Saturate a small piece of wadding with glue; wrap as much as possible, around the nail and re- insert into the hole, pressing in firmly. Remove the excess glue with a wet cloth.

A House Should Look Like Horne Architect Says Tiiat its The Prime Requisite In House "Building—Have It "Close to Ground" William C. Ludlow, veteran arebi- teat and chairman of the commit- tee on public information of the American Institute of Architects,. explained what, in his opinion, con. stituted a good-looking house. He said: "First of all, a home must look like a home, and I mean, of course, it must look like a home to the average man. If it is a rectangular box, with a flat roof and plain wall surfaces, it reminds the average man of a factory, a building where economy is the first consideration, a place where the occupants stay as short a time as pos able, and whistle gladly leave when brows. Must Be A Good Neighbor "Second in importance perhaps to good value, a house mast be ap- propriate in appearance to its en- vironment; it must be a good neigh- bor to the other houses of its com- munity, and look suitable to the climate. A modernistic or Mediter- ranean house is just as much out of the place on Cape Cod as a Cape Cod or Colonial house is in Miami or Los Angeles. "A third requirement for the good-looking house is that it shall fit its site; a tall house • za a knoll is just as bad. as a squatty house in a hollow. For homelike feeling, most houses should be as 'close to the ground' as possible." Escaping from the zoo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a leopard ate a lamb, a cat and a few chickens before being shot.
