Isemslisk THE WEEK IN OTTAWA The 'fine days of summer lend them- selves admirably to the Canadian el- ection campaign, which, though not yet is full swing, is under way. Pol- itical ,picnics are being held every- where. The list of party nominations is filling up. There will be many three or four -cornered contests, as is natural when four :parties are in the .field. In ,parts of the country, how- ever, the Socialist and the new Re- .•eonstruction parties will leave it to the older and major parties. In the Liberal campaign there is frequent reference to the mission of Liberalism; much recalling that when thatparty was in office there was usually peace and prosperity. Peo- ple are asked to return it to power to 'bring back' condition's' as they were. Few thinking people imagine that recovery can be accomplished so quickly,. regardless of what party is running the works, but the • fact that the Liberal predominance in the past usually synchronized with good times is impressive. • Liberals Sweeping Provinces The• current, as has been, noted be- fore, seems to be running the Liber- als' way. The Prince Edward Island ,provincial general election showed that anew. Liberals captued every seat in the Legi4ture, caged shade -a 'veery dein job of it, wiping mut not only the Coabgervative gov- ernment, but all its adherents seek- ing election. There is now a Legis- lature and government, but no effrc- nal opposition. Throughout Oanada provincial Con- servative administrations, one by one, have folded up and departed. This happened suceessively in Nova Scotia, BritishiOolumbia, Ontario, Saskatch- ewan, New Brunswick and now in Prince Edward Island. The Liberals are in the saddle in'•'every province but one and there--Alberta,--the Farmer government is likely to be dislodged next month. An this is taken to indicate a ris- ing tide of Liberalism which may soon engulf the government at Ot- tawa. Just possibly, it may not rise so high. A. few have the notion that the Liberal monopoly of government in the provinces may produce a cer- tain reaction at Ottawa. Again, it may be an arguhnent for completing the task by ousting the federal govs ernment as well. May Aid Constitutional Reform From this provincial monopoly the Liberals May draw a strong card a- part from the psychological effect on the people. Amendment of the Can- adian •constitution is insistently de- rmanded. It is 68 years old and doesn't fit. Many reforms -are bar- red by its conflict of federal and pro- vincial, jurisdictions. Attempts here- tofore to change the law have been abortive. The provinces would not agree. Usually this happened when one party was in office here and an- other in office provincially. If the Liberal party comes to power, with its friends in office everywhere, agree- ment ,may be reached much more easily.' 'Beyond a doubt, that argu- ment will be exploited fully by the Liberal party and the others cannot match it. . U. S. Trade Pact Discussed Noran Ambmous, distinguished car- eer than in the United States diplo- matic service, has taken over the American Legation here. He brings words' that "within two months" a trade pact between Ottawa and Wlasikington will be concluded. This. is news. Negotiations were began last winter but preparation of data has been the total of activity so far. The idea is prevalent that the Unit- ed States authorities, aware of the current trend of things in Canada, are not too keen to conclude an ar- rangement with a government in peril of defeat. l:f an agreement is possible, it will be hailed with satisfaction in all parts of •the country. It might be of considerable political 'benefit to Pre- mier Bennett and his party. Again, it might not be, because the Liberal would be able to say that reciprocal trade.. as something they always fav- ored and something chat the Conserv- atives always opposed and that,, if the latter have now recanted a ad gone in for it, the Liberals would be disposed to do considerably better. Trade Trouble Acute Trade trouble between 'Japan and Canada has 'become acute. For the .surtax imposed by Japan, the gov- ernment 'here 'promptly retaliated with one 'of the same kind. As these almost prohibitive imposts do not ap- ply to goods in transit and since Tokio is prepared to negotiate fur- ther, the bitter end may be avoided. If it is not, then 'gaanada's sixteen millions of export trade to Japan and the latter's four million of exports to Canada may be pretty well shot. As explained before, the difficulty a- rose from Canada valuing the Jap- anese currency at par for customs duty purposes, whereas it has de- preciated to half that .value. More- over, a iduriming duty is applied. A Toronto importer . paid $500 for a couple of bales of • Japanese silk. When the duty was paid or asked for, the ;cost of the consignment was 81,- 600. It had to be sent back. That is what Japan and the 'Can- ad,ian importers, as well as the ex- porters, are kicking about and with reason. A duty, it is urged, can be highlyy protective without needing to be prohibitive. This fiseal policy of abnormal protection is seriously af- fecting Canadian trade because Can- ada cannot sell if buying is barred by the tariff. 'Much of this argument is heard in the election campaign. Moreover, it is likely to be effective. The only cry that protection is need- ed to guarantee workers their jobs loses its force when, after five years of it, the jobs in so many places have almost entirely disappeared. Taxpayers' Strike Threatened The economic situation is improv- ing only to the extent bf about 2 per Dent. More than a million persons are on relief. The improvement, such as it is, occurs in Ontario, where the Hepburn government is commended for its policy of "work or no relief." This applies to able-bodied men_ The •strikers or trekkers or hunger march,. ers as they are variously known, have alienated public sympathy by declin- ing to work when so many harves- tere are needed. The taxpayers show signs of going on strike, with relief costs the great source of, the inor- dinate increase in their tax bills. The Dominion government, whose head promised five years ago to "cure unemployment," is being vic- iously assailed, not so much because of this exaggerated undertaking as for the fact that the problem has never been approached constructive- ly in the last five years. The pal- liatiee of relief is the sum total of activities. The situation has never been attacked at its "social or econ- omic base, except creation of a syss tem of social insurance which will become effective in October. TUCKERSMITH :Mrs.' L.

The history of Jenny Lind's tri- umphs is the story of one of the world's great furors, its spread was so wide and its legendary develop- ment so exalted that even to -day we who have no impression of her voice know the name of Jenny Lind. Born in Stockholm in 1820, by the time she was '19 she was idolized by the Swedish public both as a singer and an actress, and was famous throughout every country in Europe as The Swedish Nightingale. And when she went abroad this'pale, thin, plain girl, with broad Scandinavian features, who looked at first glance "like a very shy country school girl" was accepted by kings, 'queens and critics wherever she sang. Her career became a series of unbroken triumphs through every country she visited, and praise of her personality and of her voice were equal. -a combination whicli no other singer had achieved, and which none has since surpassed. Yet as late as 1850 Jenny Lind was. unfamiliar, even as a name, to most of the people in the United States. Strangely enough, • it was P. T. Barn- um, the famous showman, who, abandoning for the moment his Am- erican Museurn, his "wooly horse," his "stuffed' mermaid" -and similar at- tractions, first conceived the idea of bringing Jenny Lind to the United States to sing; and despite the fact that music in general was far from flourishing in the country, Barnum exploited her as successfully as his' circus. Barnum was prepared to lose $50,- 000 in bringing to this country "the greatest musical wonder in the world" for, irked by the fact that his name had so long been associated with ,humbug, he felt it would be worth that much to him as an en- hancement to his reputation. And although he was to pay Jenny Lind the staggering sum of $1,000 each for 150 concerts and all travelling ex- penses for her company—Barnum so skillfully built up her reputation in 'America that the tour was a great, financial as well as an artistic suc- cess. Perhaps the one thing which turn- ed Barnum's speculation into a cer- tain success was the extent of Jenny Lind's charities, which Barnum men- tioned casually but pointedly in ev- ery publicity notice. Intensely ..re- ligious—she gave up singing in opera as 1849 because she felt that the opera was immoral, and she would never sing in Paris at all because she was horrified by the frivolity asd restless love of excitement of the French—something in Jenny Lind's character made charity necessary for her. She accepted Barnum as her manager because he was the only would enable her to endow a hospital the profits, and because his contrast American impresario who did not ask her to share in the losses as well as for poor children in Stockholm. ,Barnum hired a newspaperman whd -had heard Jenny Lind sing to write •one ors two newtspaper Columns a (Wee'k about hen Elk .'-ung is her in - genktity and eammor held out.

Barn- um offered f200 for ax► .ode of greet- iug'te• America to be sing by Jenny Lind on her arrival. At the same time enterprising pulb'ishets were bringing out 'brochures on her life. Her portraits were in every shop win- dow. Jenny Lind 'M'usical *nthlies and Jenny Lind Annuals were an- nounced for sale six months before her arrival. A few days before she landed in New York the Morning 'Courier and Enquirer told its readers that "she possesses a greater com- bination of greater excellence than all who have gone before her." These and other advance ecstasies, eoncern- ing Jenny Lind's voice worked up newspaper readers to a high pitch of anticipatory delight. Incidentally, the Jenny Lind fever is interesting in artistic annals, be- cause critics and connoisseurs • joined in the frenzy. tier voice must indeed have been one of the best Europe ever heard, for Chopin, Schumann, Richard Wagner and other promin- ent musicians 'y hyo acclaimed it ex- travagantly mild not have stamped- ed by the popular enthusiasm. She had a 'brilliant and powerful soprano, dramatic, flexible and rich. Said Mendelssohn, "She is as great an artist_ as ever lived." o� Thus heralded in- advance BarnWn's "Jenny Lind Boat,"..:the Atlantic,. ar- rived in New York harbor September 1, 1850. It was greeted by a pende- inonium of whistles and foghorns, while more than 30,000 persons shout- ed their welcome from the docks. West Street was thronged for a doz- en blocks, windows and roofs were crowded, and spars and rigging of nearby vessels were covered with the reckless. A large bower of green plants adorned the dock, and trium- phal • arches bore t,"'.scription: "Welcome Jenny'Lind!" Barnum had arranged for the building of these but quietly, so that the- impression was that of an official greeting. On the doV;•k Barnum had lined up some of his Museum employees, and as Jenny Lind approached her car- riage, they threw bouquets into it, making the ,public and newspapers be- lieve it a spontaneous tribute. When the party finally arrived at the Irving House it was • necessary for the po- lice to clear a passage before Jenny Lind could proceed to her room. Cheering crowds continued outside the hotel all day. At half -past 12 that night, the N. Y. Musical Fund Society began an instrumental sere- nade, escorted by 300 firemen in reci shirts, bearing lightedtorches. Broad- way was completely 'blocked and the spluttering torches revealed figures on the roofs, and hanging to lamp posts and awning frames. At a quar- ter past one when the music was finished, and Jenny Lind tried to go to bed, the crowd was still not ready to leave. Not only the commen people be- sieged Jenny Lind. The Mayor call- ed upon her at her rooms, and she was visited all day and part of the night by people of varying degrees of distinction. Millin* tailors and furniture dealerh sent her articlles which they had named for her; wa- ter carafes with her face and name were sold. Songs and poems were dedicated to her,`' dances named after her, and she conquered the kingdom of man when a cigar was called the Jenny Lind. Determined to exploit this extra- ordinary popularity to the fullest, Barnum decided to sell the tickets for the first concert at auction. Four thousand came out on a rainy day to this auction, and bidding from the start was lively. The first ticket was finally sold for $225 to Genin, the hatter, whose establishment adjoin- ed Barnum's American 'Museum. This was the best stroke of business Gen - in ever did, for more than two mil- lion readers, knew the next morning that he was a hatter. A few days later in Boston, wheer tickets to the first concert were again auctioned, the first one sold for $625. When Jenny Lind was told of this she said: "What a fool!" The New York newspapers of Wed- nesday, September 11 1850, reflect the feverish excitement that was in the air. The Herald wrote: "Jenny Lind' is the most popular woman in 'he world at this moment—perhaps the most popular that ever was in it"; in the excitement of the moment apparently forgetting the Virgin Mary. r a ;m..+,' v ,ti11 'ttitti • 0011111. oxrectzy; zat ore Successful men's tailors feel the need of present, - ins a new theme of pat- terns to fit in with the trend of modern style.

Henry Clay and Dan- iel Webster asked for appointments, and it soon became a matter of state importance for the most prominent senators and representatives to visit her at the hotel. ' But despite the tremendous ova- tions she received in many other cit- ies, and the immense popularity of her concerts, Jenny Lind became dis- satisfied with Barnum as a manager. His theatrical methods, the high pres- sure publicity and ballyhoo, and the unceasing crowds of the curious who followed her everywhere, were dis- tasteful to her; While Barnum realiz- ed that if he were to give a classical singer a circus appeal—which he had to do in order to pay Jenny Lind the sums which •her contract called for— such methods were necessary. This dissension came to a head in Philadelphia when Jenny Lind dis- covered that •Barnum had hired the Niational) Theater, which had. been used for a circus only a short time before. The dressing room smelled like a stable, and assuring him indig- nantly that she was not a horse, Jen- ny Lind shortly afterward terminat- ed their contract after giving ninety- three concerts. . lfter her break with • Barnum, her success in this country was only moderate, but the original Jenny Lind tour, besides the financial profit to the two principals, had an effect of great importance upon the history of music in the United States. America had .hitherto been disre- •g,arded by European stars, but the success of Jenny Lind, which was, so much greater financially and emo- tionally than any of her European rriumphs, opened the eyes of other foreign celebrities to possibilities in an American tour; it also awakened American impresarios to the oppor- tunities in this country. New music halls were built in New York, Phila- delphia, and other cities. Barnum's ability as a publicity enl trepreneur caused thousands to re- alize for the first time what pleasure they had been missing in their ignor- ance of music, and created for the first time a large-scale demand for it. Though his intentions were by no rneans philanthropic, music in the United States was advanced many years in its progress by Barnum's unique exploitation of Jenny Lind. Seven thousasd persons attended the first concert and it took a dou- ble row of 'policemen to regulate the stream of carriages. About 200 boats were anchored as near as pos- sible to the hall. which was on the shore, and more than a thousand peo- ple caught e,caping strains of music from this vantage point. Inside, the hall was a mass of gas light. A• large bask of flowers, spelling out the words, "Welcome Sweet Warbler," was suspended in front of the stage. There was a breathless moment of silent anticipation. The doors at the hack of the stage opened. Jenny Lind in a white, virginal dress,'came grace- fully down between the music stands. That placid face, with its oval sim- plicity-, stared out with frightened, earnest, blue eyes at this immense gathering, which rose to its feet in tumult, cheering. She curtsied deep ly in appreciation. But it was im- possible to stop the riot of enthus- iasm. The screaming; the shouting, the waving and wild cheering fright- ened her into an approach of panic. On' the first notes of Bellini's Casta Diva she trembled and wavered until those 'who listened feared that she would. break down co% pletely. But she soon regained' her self-possession. After the program Barnum an- nounced that "although Mademoiselle Lind had begged him not to mention her deeds of beneficence," she would devote her share of the proceeds of the first concert, ,$10,000, to charity. Barnum admits in his autobiography that without his persistent publiciz- ing of her benevolenee he could not have caught the popular imagination and could not have made •her am- bitious Annerican tour a success. In Washington Jenny Lind became a national character.

Over 600 have been sent away on holidays to date; but this year the need is greater than ever. In two little attic rooms live a little girl of 2, and a boy of 4. Their mother is in the hospital. Their father is desperate because they are being forced to move and, with the two little ones .on his hands, he is unable to go out and look for other quarters. They are too small to go away on a train alone. If only somebody within motoring distance could come and get them! What a relief it would be to the father and mother to have them out of town for two weeks. On a blind street --a hot, narrow' little street—there are two olittle boys, five and six years old. There was a chance for one in their family to go away, so they let their little sister go. Now they are eagerly a- waiting her homecoming, so that they may hear the stories about the trees, the flonvers and the good times she had. A mother brought her two little girls into the Neighborhood Workers Association office to get their rail- way tickets. Their littlebrother, just five years old. wept bitterly because there was no ticket for him; no place for him to go. To dry his tears, the Neighborhood Workers Association gave him a little blue card on which they had written, "Come back next week." He stopped crying and smil- ed through his tears. He's depending so much on that little card. Who will offer him a home for two weeks? Two disappointments in a row are hard to bear. Here's a little lad who missed his train the first time and another boy who went in his place. The next time there was a chance for Sim to go, the Doctor noticed he had a cough and wouldn't pass him. 'Now he's better—'but unless somebody will write and ask him to visit them, it looks^as though he's missed out. There's only august' left in which to take care of these kiddies.

There are several of these chemical snubstances known ash reeppro- dulctive hormones, each originating from a particular gland and eacli. having a definite function in the pro- cess of egg formation. Of these there are two main hormones', the female hormone and the pituitary hormone originating from the ovary and the pituitary gland respectively. The former causes the oviduct to grow and enlarge' until it reaches the stager where it can produce albumen, while the latter is manufactured and thrown into the blood stream by the pituitary gland and causes the ovary to grow and develop yolks and td pour female hormones into the blood stream. The pituitary gland. is the instiga- tor of the reproductive •processes Upon removal of this gland the re- productive organs of both male and female birds ,shrink to an extremely small size; the males look like true capons and the females like •poulerdes.

It has always been 'recognized that extremely complex processes are in- volved in the :manufacture of eggs, by the laying hen. The ovary and the oviduct constitute the reproduction tract. The yol•.ks are formed in the ovary and pass through the oviduct in which the various layers of albu- men, the shell membranes and the shell are built around the yolk. Food materia] is carried by the blood stream to these organs and built in- to the egg. Different parts of the oviduct ntanufac'ture different com- ponents of the egg, such as thick white, thin white, shell memlbranes and shell. The general characteris- tics of an egg,, such as colour, size and shape are determined by°the kind of material that composes the nuc- leus of the cells of the individual het. This material is inherited by the hen from her parents. These facts have been known. for some time, but the interesting thing THE McKILLOP MUTUAII FIRE 'INSURANCE CO'YY HEAD OFFICE--SEAFORTH, ONT.
