Weil- and:, s•an of Mr. and Mrs. H. Weiland, Egpaondviile, has made an internation- al name for himself in the years since he played on Seaforth teams. He only, recently returned to Boston af- ter spending his holidays with, his parents here. The "Traveller" says: "Ralph `Conley' Weiland of Brigh- ton has won a promotion in the Bos- ton Bruins' hockey family. An out- standing center with the Bruins for eight of the past 11 years, Weiland now carries the title of assistant man - ager, according to a -joint announce- ment by President Weston Adarns'and, General Manager Art Rasa. "Whether Weiland will continue 'as Bruins' captain, as well as Ross'' first lieutenant, will depend on a decision of the National Hockey League's board of governors on a club's player: limit during the 1938-39 campaign. This decision is expected to be reach- ed at an important meeting of the governors at Toronto Saturday. "Ross announced that Weiland will' continue with the club in a playing capacity, but just how much be will do probably will depend on whether the league (holds to its present 14 players, plus goal -tender, limit, or in- creases it to 15, as proposed by some clubs Under the 15 -player plan, Wei- land, probably would retain his cap- taincy." In the same issue, Arthur Siegel comments editorially on the appoint- ment as follows: "A BANK WHERE SMALL ACCOUNTS ARE WELCOME" nal 1f "You, too, will enjoy doing your banking here."

"And -in the center was Weiland, dwarfed by the- two six-footers with whom he teamed. He was short and he was slight of build. But be was agile and wily and he slathered across the ice like a spider, that long hockey stick deftly taking the puck into posi- tion or, on defense, slipping it away from a bewildered opponent. "Gainor and Clapper and Weiland! The Dynamiters. The high -scoring line which made hockey history. Then Gainor dropped out of the picture. ,Clapper stayed with the Bruins, year after year, as did Weiland. But Oooney was not the crashing kind. With his physique, those tactics were eta, of place, for finesse rather than force was his forte. So the crowds turned on Weiland. He was traded because the gallery gods, and those in the more expensive seats, deniand- ed more than just skill. "For that matter, Weiland was not too upset. He liked Boston and his wife liked Boston. Yet he was too cynical about a professional sports career to think too muoh about senti- ment. Possibly he was too engross- ed with.

First Earnings of the Telephone On February 12, 1877, in the Lyceum Hall of Salem, the Essex Ibsrtitute and its guests gathered for an historic occasion. Alexander Graham Bell, in a Prince Albert coat and his best plat- form manner, was rea'd'y to deliver a lecture on telephony, to be followed by a demonstration from his instru- ment, planted on , the platform under the flaring gas light. Salem ladies in plumed bonnets and wide ruffled skirts, keeping their (bands warm in little barrel muffs, sat beside 'digni- fied gentlemen with smoothly combed square beards and stove -pipe hats which they held politely in their laps. It was distinctly an occasion. Bell • began in his fine, resonant voice. First be described the tele- phone and the principles on which it worked. Then, talking into the trans- mitter of the, apparatus, which, was connected With his rooms in Boston where a body of scientific men and reporters were taking notes of the prnoce&lings, he said, "Mr. Watson, will you speak t r the audience?" The ladies started_ 'ilhe gentlemen sat up. it was a little like magic. They were riot let long in suspense. "Ladies and Gentlemen," came a blur- red' yet comprehensible voice from the machine, "it gives me great pleasure to be able to address you this even- ing although "I am in Boston, and you are in Salem!" The whole shouse burst into applause. True; the words were made out distinctly only by the people in the front rows, but how marvelous to hear the distant voice at all! The demonstration continued, " this time with members . of the audience participating. The news came frons Bostonthat the engineers tlf the llos- ton offal Maslne°Tailtroad were Oil strike.

' Japanese Silk Factory Shows Combination of East and West A recent visit to t \ i „ h� phmiya silk - reeling factory In the outskirts of Tokyo has afforded -an- excellent ob- ject lesson in the successful combina- tion of ,Eastern with Western (meth- ods that has ,given Japanrmlutth a pram - inept pllace iu industry and, export trade. The up -Ito -date machinery, the working efficiency, especially the Speed of the .girls employed in the factory, suggest the• West. In one room, for instance, a 'girl ,twists daily by hand 1,800 'skeins Of silk, each skein containing more than 25,000 yards of the almost invisibly fine thread. One is equally impressed by the keen eyesight and debt 'fingers of the girls. In a cocoon, which is about the size of a pigeon's egg, there are from 1,000 to 1,400 yards of silk, in almost incredibly fine filaments. These fila- ments. are nearly invisible to the ord- inary eye. But the girls in the fac- tory have acquired so much skill that they can unerringly thread the fiia- m'ent through equally tiny holes in the needles of the machines. Along with the ,mechanical equip- ment and labor skill that one •associ- ates with the ipdustrializedcountries. of -the West this Japanese factory ex- hibits certain fe'atu.res of, Oriental so- cial life°that keep down the wage bill and avoid strikes and labor troubles. 'Phe girls,°between the, ages of 17 and 23, who make up most of the labor force of the factory, are 'recruited from peasant districts: They are physically strong and docile, accus- tomed to hard work and obedience, Paternalistic Relations 'Phe human relations, v-'-ich prevail in the factory, are not of the business- like oh.aracter which one would find in an American or British factory, with a tradition of trade -unionism and collective bargaining. Neither are they those• of heartless and deliberi ate exploitation. They are rather of a paternalistic, semi -feudal character, into which 'these country girls seem to fit naturally. The manager who -rlhowed us about spoke to the girls in a friendly way, calling each. by her - first name. The girls invariably' greet- ed him with a typically Japanese cere- monial bow. The girls work hard for a money wage that seems extreately low, by American standards, averaging about 85 sen about 24 cents) a day. This wage is not paid weekly or even monthly, but only at the end of the year. This has the advantage, froin the emrplo3er's standpoint, of saving interest on the money; from that of the girl, or her family, of graving. the wage. The paternalistic side of the enter- prise finds expression in giving the girl workers free board and lodging. Whatever clothing; or other articles they need can be bought on credit in the factory co-operative Tise food consists mainly of lice, along with pickled vegetables, bits of fish and meat of the cheaper grades. But it is nourishing and plentiful and prob- ably better than what the girls were accustomed to eat in their own homes. The- girl's serve themselves in the factory dining room and wash their own dishes. When I visited tee fac- tory I found the dining room extreme- ly clean, with a stone floor and long wooden tables,' but rather bare and very cold, for in the ustial Japanese fashion it is untreated through the year. The girls' dormitories • are of the same pattern, clean but bare. in each room there are 12 girls, so that each bas space for .her futon, or mat- tress (the girls sleep 'en the floor, in the usual ' Japanese fashion) and some elbowrodm besides. Tthe chief decor- ations are a scroll, hanging in tyre place 'of honor, with some kind of moral inscription, and a vase with a few flowers. The bedding during the day is kept in a closet, as are the straw baskets in which the girls keep their belongings, which Mmost invar- iably include (one concession to mo- dernity) a powder puff and a lipstick. Lights are turned off at nine in the evening. One Film a Month On the girls' two rest days a month an instructor comes to teach them flower arrangement. They also take lessons in cooking. About once a month a film is shown. Duri•n1g work- ing hours an amplifier plays lively and jolly music. Amotber effort to - brighten up working conditions Is the piercing of bird cages and bowls filled with goldfish in the factory rooms. The girls as a rule remain at the factory about Jitter years. During this time they sate about 800 yen, which is quite a satisfactory dowry in the eral Cogswell. Clearly, the answer came from the machine: at that time, half --past five, they were tied up. Then Bell introduced the Rev. E. C. Bolles who said, "I shake hands with you cordially in imagination twenty miles away." The people in Boston returned his greeting. The Rev. E. S. Atwood then asked from Salem, "Does it rain?" "It does not in Boston," Watson an- swered. Lyceum Hall thrilled with excite- ment, especially when Watson closed the program by singing "Hold the, Fort," which, with the popular hut doleful •"Gypsy's Warning," compris- ed nearly the- whole of his musical' re- pertory.

"This," iraid Dr. Newman, "is a highly ,desirable form of empire co-operation." In thele bat- tle for improved varieties of grains there is a spirit of co'madeabip in a great fight among the agricultural workers of the world. There is an affinity between stations. Canada wants to know what Russia is doing and Russia wants to know what we are doing, because we face thbe same problems. Manitoba is 'interested in fruit experiments in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and, Wisconsin. Ontario is even interested in Kansas because Kanaa.s is producing fall wheat, but of a different type. One station can always be assured of assistance from the others. There is no Sudeten prob- lem in the work for improvement in varieties of grain. Orate other problem was mentioned by Dr. Newman.

PlowingMatchNext Every farmer has an eye for a nine plow team and a good piece of plow- ing. He will have all this to his heart's content at the great Interna- tional Plowing Match to be held at Mtnesing, near Barrie, October 11; 12, 13 and 14- Here he will gee the cham- pion plowmen of Canada: with their sleek and steady plow tcanie. He will see the greatest collection' of up -to - awn farm machinery ever housed un- der canvas --almost a mile of "tent- ed city." Be will see demonstrations that -will prove invaluable to him in his every day life on the farm. These are just a few Of the reasons why ev- e Sy Ontario farmer should make a special effort to attend the one and only International Plowing Matoh, the greatest event of its kinds not only in the British Empire, but the entire v oral. Every farmer should bring his wife and family too. There will be educat-votral and practical•, exhibits that every farm woman will appreci- ate. A popular feature of former plow- ing matches will be maintained in the plowing by oxen, a link with the thistoric past of Onttario. At 11 a.m. and 2.30 p.m., each -day, experienced drivers will demonstrate how plowing was done in earlier years with oxen hitched by yokes. • Farm drainage talks and demon- strations by machinery and, -hand will be given each day at 10 axe and 2.15 p,m by representatives of the Agri- cultural engineering Department, O. A. C., Guelph. Cultural implements of various sizes and -modern design will be demonstrated every day by manu- facturing companies on land near the parking area. PIow setting will be discussed by experts who Show ,bow different types of plows should be prepared for, work, There will be also demonstrations to show the power required to haul dif- ferent implements at various depths by the Field Husbandry Division, C. E. F., Ottawa. Another interesting feature each day will be an address by Dr. C. D. McGilvray, Principal of the Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, on "An- atomy and Care of Horses' Legs and Feet." Horseshoeing competitions will be a new and popular feature. Demon- strations will be held et 2 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and young farmers may learn hoe/ to do "cold shoeing," welding and„ other simple iron working p'raotises'. Competitive competitions for blacksmiths. will be held on Thursday and Friday. An eye -filling spectacle that will bring joy to every farmer's heart will be the multiple bitch, with three to five horses working in one team and driv- villages to which they return. S'orm.elsow the whole atmosphere of this factory, which is typical, ofa wide range of Japanese industry," in- cluding especially textile mills and silk filatures, seemed to eat at nought many of the probletns' that arise in a country like America, 'where there is no family system in the Oriental sense and where it is taken for grant- ed,- dila t the worker or enupl:oyee is doing his job for the beset pay he can get.
