A startling statement was made last week in Toronto by the China correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, H. J. Timperley: "The British Empire is slowly cutting its own throat, and Canada seems to have a good firm grip on the knife." Mr. Timperley who has been 16 years in the Orient explains that one of Japan's main objectives at the present is to undermine the British and U,S. positions in China. "Carefully worked out figures show that during 1937 Japan got 81 per cent. of her essential war supplies from the United States, the British Empire and the Dutch East Indies. Canada's share has been notably important. The Dominion has con- tributed nickel, aluminum, lead, zinc, scrap iron and wood pulp (used in making high explosives). Thus the British Empire has been indirectly helping to undermine its own position." SLOW DRIVERS—It isn't a free country any more. You have to drive fast on Ontario's highways whether you like it or not. At a meeting of the Ontario Motor League and the Ontario Safety League last week, slow drivers were scored as the greatest menace on our public roads, worse than drunks, worse than speed maniacs. And there are going to be more convictions for this type of driving henceforth, the Premier of our Province announces. Here we should like to interpose a suggestion. Why not have all our trunk highways built on the conveyor style (like the moving sidewalks at the Paris Exposition in 1908) ? Every car would then have to move at the same speed; you could watch the scenery with- out giving any attention to the driving, much; and think of the saving on tires, gasoline, oil! WAR IN 1941—Detailed maps and charts circulated thrdughout the world by Nazi propagandists reveal that Germany and Italy already have planned how they will divide up Europe. The first group of maps shows Germany in the spring of 1938 after the absorption of Aus- tria; the autumn of 1938, showing the "taking over" of Czechoslova- kia, and Hungary, intended to be No. 1 victim of Nazi expansion for 1939. Second set of maps shows Poland coming in during the latter part of next year, and during 1940, Yugoslavia, Rumania and Bulgaria. The year of the big war seeming- ly will be 1931. In that year, ac- cording to the third group of maps, Germany is to make a real drive to both east and west, absorbing Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Swit- zerland and Northern France. At the same time the Nazi armies will thrust down through Poland and Rumania, taking all of European Russia south of Moscow to the Cas- pian Sea, including the great south Russian oilfields. A final large map shows Europe of 1948 under the dominance of the Rome -Berlin axis. Italy is to get Spain, southeastern France, Pales- tine, Albania, Greece and the entire north African coast. And Hitler and Mussolini mean their joint dream to come true. THE WEEK'S QUESTION—Did October make a record for warm weather in Ontario this year? Ans- wer: Although the mean tempera- ture for the month was 10 degrees above normal, 1900 has 1938 beat. The average temperature for Oc- tober of that year was 55.7 or 13.2 degrees above normal. 'stakes Many Parents Make Common Errors in Deaing With Children Are Picked Out By Child Specialists Common mistakes of parents in dealing with their children were shown to 500 child specialists in convention at New York last week, devoted to discovering facts of the child psychology, they found that when little Robert slaps his sister, throws toys at his mother and has temper fits, it usually is the fault • oaf his parents. Often, parents will neglect an older child to concen- trate attention on the younger child. Need Personal Attention Parents too often, try to mold their children's lives into a special pattern with serious results, be- cause often the child may have no aptitude for the chosen profession. Children need personal attention. Nothing cvl ever substitute for that, The depression, instead of be- ing a calamity to children in the wealthy homes, turned out to be a godsend. Maids were discharged. Mother took over the nursery, She leo tenger had engagements every evening,'She, had more time for her children, ' Ontario's Youngest Pride and Groom One of the youngest marriages to be registered in Ontario is the marriage of Donald Hewitt, 17 -year-old mattress maker and Dolly Hum- phrey, 14, who were wed in Bothwell recently. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Humphrey, parents of the bride, consented to the marriage. Technique Of Duck C rvrng Here Are Five Pointers To Sharpen It Up — Serve On Large Platter and Be Sure Knife Is Like a Razor Can your husband carve one? That's a very personal question, yet it must be answered. If there is any doubt, leave this article on his dres- ser and let masculine pride take its course. (1) The carving knife must be razor sharp. To make doubly sure, give it a last minute sharpening at table just before carving. (2) Use a large platter for the roast duck. There must be room on it for the pieces as they are cut. Serve the gravy in a separate bowl. (3) Press fork firmly into breast of duck, holding it there with the left hand. Place knife between the body and upper thigh joint, and cut down sharply to sever the tendons and make a clean break. If you do serve a piece of leg neat to each person, cut each of the drumsticks in two diagonal slices. (The neck and short wings have been cut off before roasting. because there is no meat on them.) (4) With the duck still on its back, cut down through the centre of the breast bone. Cut each half of the breast in three portions. And carve diagonally not straight down. Do not remove the breast meat from the bone. Cut right through the breast bone, leaving the bone itself with the serving of meat. However, if you prefer to serve the breast without the bone, carve it in thick slices. OntariI Holstein Shatters Records Troy Cow Produces 25,600 Pounds Milk In Year —World's Champion Regasborne Alice Alcartra, three- year-old Holstein -Friesian heifer on the farm of Richard Sager, Troy, Ontario, had a brim-ful pail of rich milk last week to complete a 356 - day record of performances test on twice -a -day milking. Alice shattered six Canadian and United States records. With total production. of about 25,600 pounds of milk in one year and butterfat test of 3,6 per cent., the champion eclipsed the high mark for her own breed, held by a cow in the herd of Elliott Brothers, Woodstock. The farm is 15 miles west of Hamilton. 1 WONDERLAN VOICE OF THE PRESS POSER FOR A PREACHER Wonder how a missionary ex- plains to a heathen what a gas mask is? --Brandon Sun. —0— MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE We much* prefer to have men saying plainly they are dropping out of politics in order to make a living than having them enter public life for that purpose. — Peterborough Examiner. —0— WHOM TO BLAME?

Paris Introduces Longer 1lVaistline New Silhouette Is Seen In Mid- season Collections PARIS, -- Evening gowns with full skirts mounted at hipline on long princess corsages aro differ- ently interpreted by Molyneux, Alix and others and they hint definite- ly at longer waistlines for evening while day -time clothes in many col- lections seem slightly longer waist- ed. Even Schiaparelli, so long an ad- vocate of high waists, shows a very smart dinner dress with fold of fabric around the hip tops, while blouses to couple with suits finish over the skirt giving longer effect, a style she introduced last season in dinner clothes. Chanel in her midseason collec- tion develops further the silhou- by contrast to the nipped -in waist she sponsored in August so that by contrast to the nippel-in waist measure ,hips spring into rounded outline just below it. The waist- line is placed low, giving a long, slim diaphragm both for day and evening. NAMES ON MAIL BOXES On different occasions in this column in past years we have urged farmers on rural routes to have their names plainly painted on their nail boxes. A farmer subscriber in this office recently urged us to advocate again that this be done. They say that ad- vertising pays and this is one way the farmer can advertise. Our friend pointed out that in the Brodhagen district every fanner has his name plainly printed on the box. He also stated that if roofing pitch is used instead of paint it will last much longer and is easy to use. Why not have the Listowel district follow the good example of the Brodhagen farm- ers?—Listowel Bainter.' ALTON TRADE-IN DEPT. 1222 Bloor St. W., Toronto Must have space.

S. Control Group Urges Freedom of Research Di'. C. C. Little, of New York, ge- neral director of the American As- sociation for the Control of Cancer, praised the use made of the King George V Jubilee Cancer Fund and the attitude of the Canadian people in combating the disease in an ad- dress last week before the Ottawa branch of the Health League of Ca- nada. Experimentation on Animals Dr. Little eaid be was greatly en- couraged by facilities he had seen in Toronto and Ottawa for fighting the disease. He urged that researchers be al- lowed to continue experiments on animals, "We must have complete freedom of research. Somewhere there is an unbalance of the body, a discrepancy between growth and repair and the new biology, chemis- try and physics are men's weapons on preventing this." HEARTBURN KEPT HIM AWAKE Afraid to Eat Square Meal What a worry he must have been to his wife! No food agreed with him. Acid indigestion made him positively wretched. In this letter, his wife tells how he got welcome relief "My husband developed a wretched form of gastric acidity," she writes. "Meals were a misery to him. He often could not sleep for heartburn. Business kept hien from home a great deal, but when he did get a spell at hone, I gave him Kruschen Salts. I was amazed at the results. That weary look left his face, and his indigestion grad- ually disappeared. It is a treat to hear hint say, 'I'm hungry.' It seems too good to be true.' — (Mrs.) K.M.E. The numerous salts in Kruschen help to promote a natural flow of the digestive and other vital juices of the body. Soon after you start on Kruschen, you will find that you are able to enjoy your food without distressing after-effects. And as you persevere with the "little daily dose," you will see that Kruschen brings glorious re- lief. Commercial salt production in Canada during the first seven months of 1938 totalled 139,376 tons compared with 134,902 tons in the corresponding period of 1937.
