In an up -country bungalow in West Africa District Commissioner Westcott receives a package of strings for his 'cello—be opens the package and a few minutes later collapses—dead. The theft of the curare is confessed by an Oxford student, Branlcsome, who hands tt over to a Dr. Ilawkes, who .believes In 'deadening pain of animals used for vivisection. Lettice Manton, her mother. grand• mother and I-lethen Garton, of the Foreign Office, are all keenly Interested in the solving of the crime. A small page boy preceded him across the thickly carpeted corridor outside the dressing -rooms and knock- ed at a numbered door, on which was pinned a visiting card with the opera singer's name on. On the floor outside the door of the room stood. twe huge waste paper baskets piled high with untidy litter of old envel- opes, torn up letters, cardboard boxes and bundles of flowers of all kinds, from the siinielest wild coun- try blooms to the choicest specimens from the big florists of the West End. Paola Bianchi hee only been in England a few days, yet it was clear that her admirers bad wasted no time in loading her with the tri- ' butes big and little, which a star of her prominence is for ever receiving from adorers known and unknown. It must be rather pleasant, he thought, if a nuisance at times. But Harvey Cranworth felt sure that she must have a secretary who would • have the job of answering the letters and acknowledging the presents which needed answering and ack- nowledgment, and who would see to the disposal of the rubbish. Whilst he was in the midst el these and other reflections, the door open- ed, and a small foreign woman, dark- haired and with a smart white apron over her plain black dress, addressed him in English with a very pro- nounced foreign accent.

Toronto Signor Bianchi say she have just a few minutes to speak with you before she dress for ze second act" And the shy—and for one blush- ing—journalist tripped stumblingly into the comfortable dressing -room. "All right, Maria. You can go. Wait near by so that when I call you can come back and dress me." The words were spoken in Italian, but Cranworth could guess the mean- ing. He'd been something of a Latin scholar in his younger days, and a pretty good colloquial knowledge of Fre .ch helped him out for the rest. He was a little dazzled at first as the dresser closed the door behind hint by the bright light reflected off the mirror on the dressing -table. "Good evening, Signora Bianchi. So good of you to let ane see you. But our Editor—our readers are very anxious to know something about you --from your own lips—aboir your- self—and about what you think of our country—and so on." Cranworth had feared that perhaps at close quarters the grease paint and and the make-up would have spoiled the impression which he had formed as Paola Bianchi stood and sang so divinely on the huge stage of the theatre, But his fears had no foundation. After the first shy greetings he felt quite at his ease as he sat talking to the great singer as she rested in a low comfort- able basket chair before the exertions of the next act. He was rather sur- prised to find that she had very little trace of a foreign accent as she spoke to him in excellent English. She was obviously somewhat older than she had .appeared on the stage but this by no means detracted from her beauty. "You are surprised because I speak English so well? Yes?" The journal- ist nodded, and was about to speak; but Paola went on. "Yon see—I am not known in Eng- land—yet—not ngland et—not much. I only come now because I am the Italiain singer who knows best the part of Gianetta in the 'Necklet of the Virgin.' And I am. one of the few who has sung it at all with Signor Parelli Conduct- ing.' She sighed—a genuine tribute, without any affection, for the dead man. "But you may have something to tell your paper which the other`s do not know . I was born in Hoxton -1 won't tell you how many years ago." She smiled, and stifled the young man's obvious intention to pay 'her a compliment: She went on to tell the young man that her father, an Ital- ian hairdresser; had fallen in love with one of his English assistants— her another—and how, when she was about nine years of age, the family had gone to Italy to take up a small. inheritance which had been left to her father. In Italy she had remain- ed ever since, being brought up in Italian fashion, Paola Bianchi had to cut her story short. In five minutes she must change for the long second act of the opera in which she had much to do. She was always glad when it was over. Fortunately (she smiled) she died at the end of it,. and was able to go to bed early when this particular opera had still a final act to play. "But I really think," said she smiling, "that I ought to stay back with Maria, and help cleat up things a bit." (To Be Continued,) Silenced For nearly an hour the talkative man had bored his fellow -passengers in the railway carriage with accounts or his dog Caesar. "Sir," said an old man who 'had been vainly trying to -snatch forty winks, "suppose you took Caesar into a shop and bought him a muzzle, and then asked the assistant to put it on for you and be refused, what would you do?" "Why," said the talkative one, "put it on myself!"

Mother said yes, that was right, "But," she added, "I guess some angels would rather go without clothes. Boy angels maybe." "They live in heaven." "Yes, dear." "Why don't they like it, here?"

And when you wake up you are in heaven." If the boy had been older, she would have tried to be more definite, but he is such a little fellow,.. "Will I be dead sometime?, I .want to see heaven." "Oh, sometime, but Grandpa's. never been dead or seen heaven. People stay here a long time,- usu- ally before they go away." "Harry went. Where do wings grow, mother?" "I think you had better getryour sled now, dear. You need some sun- shine before lunch. Oli, wings grow on shoulders." She asked me what to do. "The boy so often brings up the subject of angels and death," she said. "Possibly because he lost a little friend. He isn't old enough to reason it out so I never know what to say. About. death, I mean." Answer His Questions "Who does know ?" I reminded her. "You and. I were told it as you have told your son. Today we may have altered the conception of what .form the spirit takes after winging' away, according to our faith and reason; but even the greatest skeptics can not deny the beauty of the idea of white -winged angels. Anyway, I think it better for you to answer the child's questions. So many mothers avoid it altogether. "Why don't you start Samuel to Sunday School? Religious instruc- tion is a part of my creed about child rearing. Whatever the religion of his parents and grandparents be- fore him, it is best for the child to have instruction in that, 1 think. He learns, at least, to revere the things he should. As for death, 1 would not go too deeply into explanations now."

To walk well there is only one rule --walk on one lino and not on two, All this talk about the ball of the foot and shoulder carriage is unneces- sary, for you could not possibly walk on two lines and this causes them to wabble from side to side. By walking on one line a woman will appear more graceful, and if there is any soft drapery about her costume she will seem almost to float into a room, I know a woman qu:t'- short ancl heavy, who, by walking on one line, gives such an impression of per- fect control of her body that she looks pounds Iighter while walking than at any other time. This techni- que gives to a man dignity and dir- ectness of movement.—Margery Wil- son, Charm. Like the world area in wheat and bailey, the world acreage snider oats has steadily declined since 1929. In the British Empire, however, the trend has been in the opposite direc- tion, the area under oats now stand- ing higher than at any time during the period 1928-35. This is chiefly due, states the Imperial Economic Com- mittee's report on Grain Crops; to the continuous increase in Canada since 1931. Of the 18,890,000 acres sown to ats in the British Empire in 1934, Canada had 13,730,000 acres. The area sown in foreign countries was 117,270,000 acres, making a world total of 136,- 160,000 acres, and showing a decline in the world area sown to oats of 10,060,000 acres, compared with 1928. The progressive acreage in Canada is Shown by the .following figures:— 12;840,000 acres in 1931; 13,150,000 aches in 1932;' 13,530,000 acres in 1933; 13,730,000 acres in 1934; 14,- 096,200 acres in 1035, and 14,150,000 (provisional estimate) in 1936. World production in oats has fallen below the level of 1923-30. The Unit- ed States, as first among the world produc@itis of oats, has been replaeed by, Russia, In Empire trade Canada retains her place as principal produc- er and exporter of oats. Indeed, in Empire trade, the Canadian exports of oats and the United Kingdom im- ports are the principal features of that trade. 'Normally, the United Kingdom is the largest world import- er of oats, but she lost that place in 1934 to Switzerland and Italy for the time being.. As already stated, Can- ada continues to be the chief Empire supply of oats, almost the only sup- ply, .,it might be said,'because the Irish Free State, once an important factor, now sends only very small quantities. 9 Issue No. 28 -- '26 One Thing Spared Us Observes the Calgary Herald— An Ontario contemporary voice a strong complaint against what is calls the "plagues of June."

'Fleas' There Is Doubt That They Lived 3,00 Years in Frozen Siberia Early in the year news came from Russia that Professor P. H. Kara- petov of the Skovorodina Research Institute for the Study of Perpetu- ally Frozen Regions had discovered in the permanently frozen soil of Northern Siberia insects which, though inanimate for 1,000 to 3,000 years, came to life when thawed out, Biologists were skeptical. And justly so. Information which has been re- ceived from Russia by Dr. D. N. Borodin of New York, and which he passes on to this cornentator makes it plain that there is still room for doubt. It turns out that the correspon- dents were misled by the term "water fleas." Actualy Profesor Kar- apetov unearthed spores ' of fungi, mos algae and egs of the Daphnia species, which last are minute crus- taceans like crabs and are not in- sects at all. The professor dug down about 13 feet and chopped out lumps of frozen earth which he put into sterilized jars with sterilized water. After nature had taken her course at normal temperatures the algae started to grow. Other plants follow- ed. Finally the egs of Daphnia hatch- ed out several hundred infinitesmal crustaceans. These reproduced. Fin- ally ten generations were flourishing for the benefit of the biologists. The streamlined bathtub has ar- rived. It is announced that will be exhibited for the first time at the na- tional plumbing convention in°Buffala next week. The makers explain that the new style in bathtubs is "designed to harmonize with modern types of construction and architecture," We take it that the reference is to new styles in building and not to any revolutionary changes in the construction and architecture of the human chassis, which must fit into the new tubs, It is a ^omparatively simple task to alter the general shape and design of bathtubs, but quite an- other matter to mold the anatomy of some of us to proportions which fit neatly into a streamlined tub. Pos- sibly the manufacturers should adopt as an advertising slogan "Shapely tubs for shapely people," thereby avoiding any complaints from pur- chasers about misfits. Incidentally, the makers should be heir commercial complimented on t candor in announcing this latest con- tribution to the refinements of civil- ization, which is proclaimed as "a stimulus to the bathtub business." That is delightfully frank, as every- thing connected with bathtubs usually is. Mgt it is just a little disappoint- ing. We had hoped that the real pur- pose behind the streamlining of bath tubs was to promote greater speed in bathing, thus helping to relieve traffic jams in front of bathroom doors both in homes and boarding houses. However, high-speed bathing has its dangers unless the new tubs are equipped with efficient non-skid de- vices and hydraulic brakes. It is ob- vious that the combination of a piece of soap and a streamline bathtub is likely to produce a degree of accelera- tion hazardous in the extreme to bathers who are in the habit of step- ping on it. Apart from such risks, the new tubs have muck to commend. thein and regular users doubtless will be kept in such good shape that they will step out of the tub each morning ready to meet all -comers. Three thousand years old! It is too much to believe. Who can be sure that in all those centuries the soil was like a rock, frozen so solid that noth- ing could seep in from above? And what about deposits? And cracks? The believers point to the mam- moth discovered years ago in Nor- thern Siberia. It, too, was frozen solid. In its stomach were still the leaves and grass that constituted its last meal—all so well preserved that they could be botanically identified. It is said that even the ]neat could be eaten. But the doubters still shake heads. Frozen mammoths are not live Daphnia.
