What Conscience Does A pleasing bit of news from God- erich announces that a local nona- genarian in receipt of an old -age pension is trying to make some re- turn for it by destroying weeds in vacant lots and fence corners. This pensioner may be old, but his con- science remains active. Further in- terest will be arouses by his com- ment: "The weed inspectors are sup- posed to look after this, but the trouble is they don't." — Toronto Globe. Food Chains in Canada There were 86 different food chain companies in Canada in 1935, oper- ating 2.809 stores with 8105,624,100 sales. In 1934 the same number of chains operated 2,395 stores with $104,912,800 sales.

Plowing by Radio No longer need the plowman homeward plod his weary way, if a radio controlled tractor plow, which an American company has produced proves commercially feasible. This ultra -modern plow is equip- ped with an ultra -short wave re- ceiver. Instead of riding a jolting tractor seat across his land, the farmer of tomorrow may sit quietly inside a watch tower and before him will be a simple switch -board. By merely turning the knobs he can guide the course of the machine so long as it is under his observation. If he fin& sitting in the watch tower somewhat tedious, he can dream of the day when each farm will have its television equipment and the plowman will be able to do his plowing while lying in bed.

Stability in Freedom Probably there is no nation.ain the world where greater diversity of opionion is expressed than in" the Bri- tish Empire, and certainly there is no part of the world in which there is greater stability of governnieht, This seeming paradox is no paradox at all when`it is understood that the British people long ago learnt the value of freedom as an element in, and indeed 'as the very essence of, stability in government. A recogni- tion of these facts is important, in a world where the disregard of them has caused so much unrest, uncer- tainty, and bloodshed. The world during the last few days has had its ears assailed with proud boasts of conquest and with arrogant .claims of power which have had no counter- part in the history of the British people. Government is so much a matter of course that there is a danger of those who have enjoyed it in its highest forn i failing to safe- guard it or, at any rate, treating it lightly.—Melbourne Argus.- 1641-5 rgus.

Life Complex These a y s The ordinal' .roan has small chance; the fellow who sheds a little dandruff on the shoulder of his blue suit might as well quit, and the man who does not keep his socks well hitched up--- well, p—well., he's out. These things we learn- ed from a July magazine, observes the Peterborough Examiner. There was one picture of a sweet young lady nestling up fairly close ted young man ivho had a remark- ably- well-groomed head of hair. Every hairs the young man owned seemed to be in its right place. He looked as well groomed as a seal, and the word- ing alongOvith the picture was ' Only a. well-grpomed head can inspire ad- oration such as this." Whether' a lit- tle' soft'"'butter would produce the same effect we do not know, but there, 'it is: The young man has to have that well-groomed effect or he will not be adored. The man, whose hair has started. to leave the thatch is out right at the start. He'll just `slave to get along as best he can without any adoration. Then iu another place we found where a young man went out to spend the evening. It was admitted he was a nice young man and the young lady thought quite a lot of him. But when he jacked one leg up over the other in. sitting down it was seen that lois . socks were wrinkled. He was not wearing garters and his Socks sagged badly. That started the young lady to thinking and she figured out that if he was careless in his habits of dress he'd probably be careless _about other things. No doubt he would.. dunk his toast in the coffee and like. as not he would drink soup or convey it to his mouth with a sweeping motion. So she became ra- ther cocl; there was no ardor in her; not a bit, , The young man with the dangling socks went home wondering what he had said or done and he felt as though life were blasted. If he'd only stopped to hitch up his socks a couple of times all might have heeu well. Lifeseems to be getting rather complex. A .man can't get any ad- oration spilled on him unless he has hair well groomed, and another ,young fellow sees his hest girl drifting away from his wharf because his socks sagged when he crossed his legs. The only way out we can see is for a young w�won't shoo id p i sos hat on stand up ha when he goes to spend the evening so the sag in his socks will not be apparent. Unless of course he goes in for a spell of grooming or decides to wear garters. A bit of glitter with ones daytime clothes is important, or at least de-. sirablen More jewelry is being worn as well as more flower:,. Lapel watches are one of the most important of the jewelry fashions of. the moment. The materials of these watches are cry s t a ], shell and leather. The lapel watch is especially nice for warm weather, and is .ex- pected to supplant the wrist watch during the summer. Fobs and fob watches are popular for the suits, and the monogram type fobs are used for gifts. Color and natural gold is the rule in these fobs. Bracelets are of many styles and colors. Color with metal touches is smart arid often a matchin ; clip, ring or pin is. worn, making the jewelry ensemble. Favorite colors in bracelets right now are strawberry, aqua, purple tones, blues in a wide range, includ- ing navy, and a large number of greens. White is not so often chosen' at the moment, but is expected to register importantly later in the summer, especially with touches of bright color. The well-dressed woman is buying metal belts, they say about town, and leather belts studded with metal. Ornamental clips are also liked; especially the novelties representing fruit, vegetables and flowers, beetles or monograms. Color is combined Police Awards it is an unfortunate fact that no form of decoration for acts of brav- ery on the part of peace officers apo ears to be in existence in Can- ada.

Many deeds of supreme courage are performed by peace officers throughout the lengtl• and breadth of the Dominion, and the bestowal of a token of ;appreciation of this nature for gallant service performed would appropriately signify the ap- preciation of the sta'e and of the public whose interests they serve. -- E.C.M.

Film Is Aid In de in Canada Term Is Defined Relaiiing Beauiy "Do's and Dont's" Portray- ed in British Movies LONDON. — Any woman who fees pangs about the passing nature of beauty is just the sort of Berson a group of middle-aged suburban women are out to help, These wo- men gathered recently in a London film studio. They were filmed at their usual everyday occupations — sewing, making beds, washing, cooking, cleaning and gardening. "We shall show as one film, a day in the life of a young married couple to prove that what the most people consider 'a natural and nor- mal is often anything but natural and normal," Bruce Wolfe, .general manager of the film company said. Then the same couple will carry out their sante tasks without stress. The secret is a return to the bal- ance and rieiim of natural man:, which has been lost in most modern occupations.

A bank clerk will show how the man who pores for eight hours over a ledger every day may be as fresh at the end of it as he was at the beginning. The films are being made in as- sociation with Major Gem, organi- zer of physical education for the London County Council, and Miss Colson, secretary of the Central Council of Recreational Training. Goods Must Satisfy Ten Per Cent of Market to Qualify Carrying out a policy announced at the last session of Parliament and arising partly out of the trade settlement with Japan an Order -in - Council has been passed defining goods "made or produced in Canada" for customs purposes. The order declares that no goods may be classed as made or produced in Canada unless total Canadian pro- duction is sufficient to satisfy at least 10 per cent. of the normal Canadian demand. In many items of the customs tariff a rate of duty is provided for particular goods of a kind made or produced . in Canada which does not apply if the goods are of a kind not made or produced here. The National Revenue Department has to decide whether goods are made or not for the purpose of applying the duties and the Order in -Council is a direction to the department. By an amendment to the customs tariff passed at the .recent session the Government was authorized to fix the percentage of production in Canada required to make the produc- ed ire -Canada tariff rates operative. 43 Relief in Toronto Lower for Period TORONTO—Toronto's gross ex- penditure on relief for the first six months of this year totalled $5,002,- 945 as compared with $-5,612,973 and $4,589,269 for the same period in 1935 and 1934 respectively, Wel- fare Commissioner A.

Turning to field and track gos- sip for a few moments, we want you who are not familiar with this line of sport to know that Glenn Cunningham is one of the most versatile milers in the world. Cunningham broke 4 world re- cords in 1934. Jesse Owens of Ohio State shattered 3 world re- cords and tied for a fourth at one track meet. This was in Michigan, May 25, 1935. At Los Angeles, where the 1932 Olympic games were held the track and field events attracted the largest crowd of any of the events — 427,171 persons at- tended. Years ago the greatest honor in all Greece was to win at the ancient Olympiads, and they say that when a winner returned to his home town or city a breach was made in the city wall for his chariot to enter, considering the city gate not too good enough for the victor to enter. Interesting too about the track and field slants is the fact that the foot race was the only contest during the first 13 Olympiads. So much for the Olympics this week — we'll be back soon — so long.
