Like that other notable British Captain of industry, Sir Thomas Lipton, business called 'him this way frequently. Like Sir Thomas he was courteous to newspaper inter-' viewers and was of the cheery, opti- mistic disposition that prompted him to 'general good will and the free ex- pression of opinion. He will be par- ticularly missed in England where he was one of the most popular of the great business men. He never had a strike in his works because he was a firm believer in sharing with his em- ployes the profits of their joint en- deavor. He regarded his great wealth as a public trust, to use a hackneyed expression. 'H�e had risen from the humblest circumstances to a position of great wealth and responsibility and he never lost his sympathies for those who were engaged in the up- ward climb, nor those who had given up hope of mounting higher. He was one of the shrewdest of business men and we may suspect that about his philanthropies there was more than a touch of masterfulness, even ruth- lessness, The story about him cutting down a portrait of himself by August John in order that it might fit .into a- particular niche was probably char acteristic. William Hesketh Lever was a clerk and errand boy in his father's grocery shop in Bolton, England, in 1867. That he was an industrious and noticing boy may be taken for granted, and he came early to the conclusion that while money was to be made out of the grocery business more money was to be made out of manufacturing some specialty. He decided on soap. In 1874 he prepar- ed and began to market a brand call- ed "Lever's Pure Honey Soap" which was probably the first intimation giv- en the newspaper reading public that good soap could be compounded out of pure honey. It is to be noted that Leverhulme was always apt in the names he chose for his products. In the course of time he made "Sunlight," "Lifebuoy" and "Lux" household words. Into their manufacture he put the purest of ingredients, and behind their sale he organized a tre- mendous body of advertising. Per- haps no other English manufacturer surpassed him in the vast appropria- tions for making his goods well known. He effected economies in manufacture, and these with the quality of his product and the great sums spent in making them well known are responsible for his suc- cess. His early adventures with the honey soap encouraged him Unto venturing deeper into the business and in 1886 he and his brother, D'Arcy Lever, formed the firm of Lever Brothers at Warrington. Later on they founded and developed the town of Port Sunlight, near Liver- pool, which is one of the show places of England. In point of harmonious architectural design and living con- veniences it is said that Oda little town is unrivalled. The houses are picturesquely Elizabethan in design. They are fitted with all modern conveniences and are rented at twen- ty-four shillings . a month to Lever- hulme employes. There are parks and playgrounds, trees are planted where - ever trees will grow. There are grade 6 007 a,d d rads; 1cOk r+en4T. +alter ( tinct .een- tole 55:.� i` t, of tUe Soap bua- k # a ctf Ceat' :Britain; and which in 'the past fi'7e years ' have made $95,- 00a,000 in profits. They, control soap factories in many countries. They operate a whaling fleet. They control the palm oil industry of West Africa. It is not to be wondered at, that the main creator of all this wealth. found his chief pleasure in. bueiaess. Re used to. say that be was never ill and 1 therefore e was always liappy, He re arty exercised, of late years on a mehainical horse of the breed recent- ly discovered in the stable of Presi- dent Coolidge. Every morning he a- rose at four -thirty, and every even- ing he. retired at ten. He loved danc- ing and company, but his entertain- ments always closed at ten o'clock. When he could find time he loved to walk, but games had no appeal for him, especially competitive games for he said that he could find enough competition in business. Art was his great hobby. He had a vast collection at his lovely home on Hampstead Heath, and every article in it he bought because of its ap- peal to him. He'did not employ ex- perts to fit him out, but chose for himself. He said not long ago that he still treasured the first picture he ever bought when he was a grocer, living in a house at £40 a year, bought, as he said, "simply for the pleasure of living with it." Many of these possessions he passed, on to Port Sunlight so that they Might bring joy and comfort to his em- ployes. Lord Leverhulme was an ab- stainer, but had a notable cellar from which his guests would re- fresh themselves while he imbided a lemon squash, devoid of alcoholic content. Lord Leverhulme was a Lib- eral in politics and sat in the House of Commons for four years, but pol- itics did not greatly interest him. In 1911, he was made a baronet and in 1917, in recognition of his work in the war, a peer. The title he chose was a combination of his own name and that of his wife, who was a miss Elizabeth Hulme, who shared his early struggles. SCOTLAND . Bursting of dam at Skelmorlie re- servation near Greenock caused much Havoc and loss of life..Four persons are known to have been drowned and several houses were swept away when the dam burst. First reports receiv- ed from the scene o�,the disaster were that there were many fatalities. Butcher was fined £3 in the Elgin Sheriff Court for killing a bullock, found later to be suffering from an- thrax: The . Procurator -'Fisch said the case had been brought tip in the public interest as a warning of the great risks attendant upon an oper- ation on an animal which contracted some unknown disease. The butcher had allowed the blood to run all over the place and even into the byres, and every drop of it coming into contact man an or beast was capable of dealing death. Exodus of Scotch from their native land was recently commented upon in the British House of Commons, The speaker, Captain Walter Elliott, said that emigration and death had so ex- ceeded immigration and birth that at the end of 1924 there were 20,000 few- er people in Scotland than at the be - ,ginning. The death rate, he said, had risen from 12.9 in 19$'3 to 14.4 in 1924 yet there were 181,000 unemployed, and 70,000 able-bodied persqns and their dependants were on th6 parish.

A total of 2,597 flying hours were under- taken by the airmen, 899 patrols were requisitioned, 866 were completed on schedule time, and no accidents were reported, which shovis. a machine ef- ficiency of 96.32 per cent. "I wish from my heart I could per- suade every person who is run down in health to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial." Thus writes Mrs. Louie Mitchell, Oak Point, Man., who fur- ther says: "About a year ago I was a weak woman, suffering from a run down system. and impoverished blood. Any little exertion would cause my legs to tremble and my heart to throb violently. I could not sweep a room or walk fifty feet without being ex- hausted. Then I began taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills and after taking only six boxes I am as well and strong as ever. I can walk and run without stopping every few seconds gasping for breath as previously. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills will be my stand-by in the future if ever my blood needs building up again, and I shall always find pleasure in recommending them to anyone needing a tonic. There are many troubles due to weak, watery blood which can easily be overcome by a fair use of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. The sole mission of this medicine is to enrich and purify the blood and when that is done all the varied symptoms of anaemia dis- appear, and good health returns.

MONA COTR,cfila.S.A.02� ENGLAND AND WALES LITTLE BIBLE RECALLS .MUTINY OF BOUNTY There has recently been added to the treasures of the New York Pub - lice Library a little Bible that has a romantic history. It is known as the "Pitcairn Bible" because it was taken ashore on this island when the mut- ineers of the Bounty landed there. It must have been by accident that this little volume accompanied these lawless men, but in course of time when their fierce passions had burnt themselves out and when a civiliza- tion began to develop the Bible was turned to by the last of the original survivors, John Adams, and from studying it he evolved a system of law and ethics which has governed the colony for more than a hundred years. The story of the mutiny of the Bounty is one of the great dramas of the sea, and one that never will lose its romance. It was in 1787 that the Bounty sailed from Spithead, having been fitted out by a group of London merchants co- operating with the British Govern- ment to bring South Sea breadfruit trees for transplanting in England and the West Indies. After almost a year's voyage, under command of Lieutenant William Bligh, the ves- sel reached Tahiti. The crew of forty-six men, including one garden- er, were turned loose on the island for ten months, and were completely enthralled by the beauty of the place and the charm of the native women. It was unwillingly that the men left when the Bounty had got her cargo stowed away. but it is prob- able that there would have- been no thought of mutiny had it not been for the tyrannical character of Lieutenant Bligh. He was a man who bulldozed the crew and quarrel- led with his officers, Fletcher Chris- tian was the master's mate and he came in for mor than his share of abuse. Three day,z out from Tahiti. Bligh broke into a violent tirade about a trifling matter and threat- ened general and disproportionate punishment. The men, led by Chris- tian, rebelled and seized the ship. They outfitted the largest boat and into it they put Pligh and eighteen of the men who remained loyal to him. It has often been pointed out that in similar circumstances other mutineers have murdered their of- ficers, acting on the principle that dead men tell no ales. There was a dispute among those on the Bounty as to what course they should pur- sue. Some wanted' to go back to lovely Tahiti, hot.h others said that it would be in Tahiti that the British Government would begin its search for them when Bligh was picked up and told his story. They com- promised in returning for a brief visit to the island of delights. Sixteen of them landed with their share of the ship's provisions and arms with the intention of remaining there for the restof their lives. Of these two died later at the hands of the natives, while the fourteen others were overtaken by the vengeance of British law. The nine more cautious mutineers who remained with the Bounty provided themselves with ten native women, a native girl of fifteen and ten native men to act as their servants. Then they sailed away to discover some out-of-the-way island where they might be safe from dis- covery. Eventually they found one two and a quarter miles long by a mile and a half wide. It was fertile, had a plentiful water supply and was uninhabited. The men took every- thing moveable off the Bounty— plants, animals, food, arms and furn- nos is A WEEK OUR TiLL M D O•INI S '► STORES RICIIMELL+ WHITE BEANS lbs c I IN E 1WI-Il°Y`E • SARDINES at 13 BOTTLE i.

They took also, perhaps by inadvertence, the little Bible. Then they burned the vessel as a final pre- caution. and turned to the strange tasks that awaited them. Fletcher Christian was recognized as their leader and he drew up the rough a- greements by which the island was divided into equal strips, one for each white man and his native wife and servant. But lawlessness was in them. They could not settle to real work. They preferred to drink while the natives toiled. When their original supply of rum gave out, Seaman McCoy, who had been a distiller in England, found that he could make a fiery beverage out of roots. Thus with an unlimited supply assured them the sailors drank with even greater abandon. This led to brawling and promiscuity with the women. The wife of one of them fell over a cliff and was drowned, and her husband, Williams, then demanded that he should have the wife of another, Crisp brown waffles, the American form of pancake, are now obtainable in London, says an English paper. The difference is in the use of maple syrup in place of sugar and lemon. Giant skate was captured alive af- ter an exciting fight by four Brighton fishermen, and has been placed in the largesttank of the Brighton Aquar- ium, which is the largest tank in the world. The fish, which was captured in a -trawl, is 6 ft. 6 in. long, 5 ft. wide, and weighs 250 lbs. Ancient windmill at Leavenheath in Exeter, which has performed its du- ties continuously for 300 years, has been demolished. The mill measured 80 feet to the top to the sails from the ground, and had a 62 feet spread of sails. The original oak beams were found practically as good as new, and behind the sails, inside the top of the mill, was a striking piece of woodwork in the form of a toothed wheel 9 feet in diameter. Birthrate decrease in England and Wales is causing comment. ¶the number of babies born in the quarter ending April 11th this year and dur- ing approximately similar periods in the previous three years was: 1922, 106,682; 1923, 100,930; 1924, 95,142; 1925, 91,934. Thus this year, 14,748 fewer babies were born than in the corresponding period of '1922. ' A medical statistician states that the falling birthrate is almost world-wide. Two predatory kestrels have made their home in an inaccessible corner of the tower of St. Miehael's Church, Cornhill andattract attention in the evening by their curious screaming. The kestrel is a small hawk with a bluish beak, black claws, and dull brown coloration. It has a long tail, which led to a fight. The native men beeame tired of the abuse of the white men and plotted to kill them all. They stole their firearms and murdered five Englishman, including Fletcher Christian. But McCoy, Quintall and Adams escaped into the bush, and Young was - concealed by the women. The women stood by the whites, who now rallied and turned upon the native men, whom they killed one by one. A short time later McCoy, maddened by his liquor, committed suicide, leaving Quintall, Adams and Young. Quintall had the misfortune to lose his wife, and de- manded another. Adams and Young, fearing for their own lives, knocked out his brains with a hatchet. The orgy of drink and murder had now run its course, and when Young, a sufferer from asthma, died in 1800, John Adams, the sole survivor and the only pure-blooded white on the island, felt a sense of his. responsi- bility, and turning to the Bible, though he could read with difficulty, studied it diligently and sought to establish a code of laws for the .bait - caste and black population. A col- ony of friendly, peace -loving and . kindly people grew up under his care. Twenty years had passed when the first ship ' was sighted from the island. She was, the American trad- ing ship Topaz, which put in at Pit- cairn Island for water. Great was the astonishment of her commander to find the place inhabited and to be hailed in the English language. It. was only after the Topaz reached home that the whole story of the Bounty's crew was given to the world. Other "vessels called after that, and no effort was made to take Adams back . to England to answer for his share of the crime. Perhaps it was thought that he had expiated it. He died in 1829, Ieaving behind him a mourning but self-respecting colony which had grown to nearly one hundred, and which in 1839 add- ed another tiny speck of red to the map of the British Empire. ati I/ ti p�+ UII UI 114:1111.01r Ivi Now You a t•� re 't %0l Co Co 61)0 you remember last year, Dad, when you bought my * C.C.M. and, afterwards, said you were sorry you didn't buy a cheaper one, like Billy Breen's?"

My C.C.M. cost a little more than Billy's, but you should be proud of your judgment in buying it, Dad." "You mean your judgment, don't you, Jack? You kept telling me how much better a C.C.M. was.
