EMPIRE CENTRE: Political pro-
phet Wythe Williams, of Green-
wich, Conn., in telephone conver-
sation with the Toronto Globo and
Mail last week expressed the
belief that a,move is actually under
way to make Canada the centro of
the British Empire, economically
and politically speaking, "For safe-
ty's sake," he said, "It's figured to
be the safest place in the Empire."
Business and finance already are
being transferred from the Domin-
ion to Canada.
May be a Good Thing (as the
book "1066 and All That" puts it),
but sometimes we don't feel any
too "safe" over here ourselves.
What with spies to the south of us,
blizzards in the Wost, Fascists in
our midst, and only the Atlantic be-
tween us and Hitler,
KILLING HIM OFF: It won't
do any good. For prominent phy-
chiatrists to declare him insane, for
gypsy women to prophesy him dead
by Christmas, for ordinary people
like you and hie to wish some-
body'd bump him off, isn't going
to-do away with I-Iitler. He's very
much of an actuality, large as lite
and twice as brutal. No amount of
wishing is going to get rid of itim.
If Hitler were murdered tomor-
row, someone else would be shoved
up imrnediately to take his place.
Remember that Thyssen and Krupp
the German big -money men are
backing the Nazi gang for a win.
If German goods could be consist-
ently boycotted, if the City of Lon-
don would stop lending money to
Berlin, if the democracies would
present a solid front against him,
Hitler (and what he stands for)
would be defeated. Only then .. , .
MONDAY HOLIDAYS: On first
thoughts the proposal to have all
single • day holidays (except the
Christmas and religious festivals)
shifted to Mondays would seem to
be a swell idea. Long week -ends
away from work. Weeks of work
uninterrupted by holidays In the
middle,
It would suit city people fine, But
farmers won't thank you any for
the suggestion — they can't leave
off working for days on end. Minis-
ters of tho church don't like the
plan either, since they believe it
would take people away from re-
ligious services.
TOUCH AND GO: Will It bo Po-
land next, or Roumania, or Hung-
ary? A couple of weeks ago, King
Carol thinking it was his country's
turn to be swallowed up by Hitler,
rushed to London for aid, Now the
Manchester Guardian comes out
and says editorially that Poland
will likely bo Hitler's next victim.
Says the Guardian: "The Germans
are now seriously planning to treat
Poland as they treated Czechoslo-
vakia, By promoting the independ-
ence of the Polish Ukranians, Ger-
many could bring about the dis-
memberment of Poland just as the
annexation of the Sudetenland
meant the dismemberment of
Czechoslovakia. Again, the dismem-
berment of Poland would be only
the prelude to dismemberment and
colonization of Soviet Russia."
THE WEEK'S QUESTION: How
much of the world's press is under
strict control? More than 70 per
cent. of the press in other count-
ries knows no "freedom" in the
sense that we understand it.
Old Well Again
Used By Village
A relic of Vienna's pioneer
days, an old well in the street
in front of the Vienna (Ont.)
Hotel, is being put into use
again. Years ago the well was
filled in with dirt and its exact
location forgotten.
Workmen have now located
the well and dug out the debris
with which it had been filled.
They found the old bricks that
encased the well still in a good
state of preservation. In the
early days pioneer settlers
drove their teams of horses or
oxen along the old plank road
past the tavern and its pump,
today streamlined automobiles
speed past on the tarvia-coated
highway.
Size of Forehead
Means Very Little
Dr, Alfred W. Adson, professor
at the Mayo Foundation Graduate
School of the University of Minne-
sota, told an audience of doctors
last week in Philadelphia a large
forehead indicates "physical disor-
ders" in many cases.
Ho said "the size of the forehead
has nothing to do with the ability
of the brain," and added:
"Sometimes if it reaches consid-
erable height, it may be an indica-
tion for study by the neuro -sur-
geon."
Flowers For Her Majesty
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is pictured as she smilingly accept-
ed a bouquet of flowers from a young admirer as she arrived at Sad-
ler's Wells theatre, London, for a presentation of "Drama, Music and
Mime," by the London Young Women's Christian Association,

It is time that the governments

real effort to solve the problem

WOMEN COUNCILLORS
The fact that women are elect-
ed to seats in several municipal
councils throughout Ontario, and
are justifying the confidence elec-
tors placed in them by the splen-
did way they are administering
public affairs, suggests the thought
that Amherstburg might very well
nominate a couple of women for
office this year. Ladies have been
serving in other official positions
here, such as the cemetery board
and library board, with much ac-
ceptance, for some time. It has
to be admitted that women quickly
get a grasp of public administra-
tion ar.d by very intuition know
the right course to take. One
thing is certain. They would know
where every cent went, and for
what purpose, — Amherstburg

Practically all farmers in West-

Cost Survey of 800 Represent-

Being Conducted
Investigation by a trained field
force into costs of milk production
in Ontario has shown that in some
communities not only do farmers
make no profit, but they lose 50
cents on each 100 pounds of milk,
a group of leading Oxford dairymen
were told by H. R. Hare of the ec-
onomics division of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture. Mr.

of which it is hoped to determine

tion of milk iii Ontario,

Preliminary results of the survey
as reported by Mr. Hare when he
spoke to the Oxford County Better
Bull Club in the Department of Ag-
riculture offices tit Woodstock,
show an average of 57 farms that
in Western Ontario milk produc-
tion costs ruin from $1,05 to $5,57
per 100 pounds, while receipts av-
erage $1,20 per 100, The 57 farms

Reforestation
Trees Planted on 1,500 -Acre
Tract Recently Well Estab-

Bruce County, through its con-
servation and reforestation com-
mittee, has acquired 1,500 acres
of land in the Annabel area and
already some 250 acres have been
planted with young trees under
the supervision of the Ontario
forestry branch. The approximate
price of this land was $1.63 per
acre. `
On May 6 last, the first trees
were planted in the county re-
forestation plan at a special cere-
mony held when county officials
and council members, as well as
many county residents, were pres-
ent for the event. The trees then
planted appear to be well estab-
lished, according to information
given the County Council by tha
reforestation committee at its
November session in Walkerton.

From earliest times, Canadians
have generally understood that the
beaver was a model of industry,

highly of him that they have made

country.

V - "No Squawkinr
"You'll listen!" "A lousy joint."
' Whitey is badly beaten in the gym fight by Fred.
Humiliated, he goes around with a chip on his
shoulder, putting all his hopes on the election, To
anyone who refuses to listen to his pompous ora-
tions, he offers insults. But election day arrives and
he finds, to his surprise and horror that he has polled
just one vote—Pee-wee's. Furious, he packs his bag
and makes for the road.
"1 didn't mean it, Say something, Pee•wee."
Suddenly, Whitey hears someone calling to him.
It is Pee -wee, following him down the road. The
little fellow begs hits not to go but Whitey tells
him to scram, Blinded by tears, Pee -wee moves
away and fails to sec an approaching car. There
is a horrible squeal of brakes and then all at once,
there is Pee-wee's unconscious figure in the road.
Sobbing, Whitey picks him up.
"Peewee, lad, 1,ll keep the candy on tap."
A few moments later Father Flanagan cones
running down the hill with some of the boys. They
all gather around Whitey, feeling that the accident
is his fault. He hangs around for a while, trying to
get into Pee-wee's hospital room but no one except
Father Flanagan is allowed there. Now Whitey feels
that there is no place in Boys Town for hint. He
starts off down the road.
"Listen kid. Remember. No squawkin'."
Whitey is walking about aimlessly in the night.
Suddenly, he hears a noise, A bank is being held up:
The bandits dart out of the building and to Whitey'a
amazement, one of them is his older brother Joe. Ho
calls out and suddenly one of the other gangsters
fires, Whitey falls to the ground writhing, a bullet in
his leg. Don't tniss reading the powerful concluding
episode,

SYNOPSIS; Slim Loyale is par-
oled from prison after serving 18
months for a crimp de did not corm
mit. He returns to his Circle L
ranch to find his father dead and
sinister forces at work, trying to
make him violate his parole so he
can again be railroaded to prison.
The Brockwells and their gang
are plotting to gain possession of
Circle L ranch and the property of
Mona Hall, a neighbor and life-long
friend of Slim Loyale.
Slim discovers that Sheriff Star -
buck has Joined the plot against
him. With the help of Dakota Blue
and his cowboys, Slim Loyale de-
fies the land -grabbers to do their
worst.
CHAPTER XI
"Don't take any fool chances,
Roy," said Slim over his shoulder
as he reined away. "Should they
get yuh, I'm cotnin' after 'em with
hot lead, parole or no parole."
But Roy was not listening. He
was climbing into Slim's saddle and
urging the gray away into the dark-
ness. Good old Roy! What a Pith•
ful, fire-eating fighting machine the
jolly Irishman was.
Viewing the affair calmly, Slim
knew that there was little chance
of Roy getting the worst of the
deal. He could be as wary and as
cunning as an Indian when the oc-
casion required. Tonight, forewarn-
ed of what to expect, the odds were
greatly in favour of Roy coming
through with flying colors,
So Slim rode -home, taking the
roundabout route Roy had suggest-
ed, and arrived at the Circle L
ranch buildings without seeing a
single soul. As he drew up at the
corrals and dismounted, a dark fig-
ure sauntered over from the bunk-
house. It was Dakota Blue again.
"Roy," Dakota called out terse-
ly. "Where's Slim? Why — what

the hell! Is that yuh Slim? How
come yo're ridin' Roy's bronc?"
Slim told hint of meeting Roy and
the subsequent changing of mounts
and hats. Dakota grunted with ap-
proval. ''Roy's usin' his haid all the
time," he added.
"But l'm gettln' to the narrow
edge, Dakota," said Slim wearily.
"This ain't life; this is hell, pure
and unsweetened, It's almost as bad
as bein' in prison, On the dodge all
the time, afraid to call my soul my
own; hidin' behind yuh fellers -- it
makes ale feel like a damned worm.
For all I know, Roy may be takin'
a bullet right now that wes meant
for me."
"It's A Tough Fight"
Dakota's speculative gaze held a
queer light in it. "1 reckon I savvy
just how yuh feel, Slim. Shore, it's
a fight an' tough one. It takes a
lot more nerve to handle this kind
of a ruckus than it does to hit the

talk it out through smoke. That -

Slim. But it we're Minn' to see yuh
through, yuh oughta be willin' to

Slim put his hand on Dakota's
arm. "I savvy, ole timer. I promise
yuh I won't go muffin' around any
more. It's my fight an' I gotta slake
it. One thing, I got some of the poi-

complaint to Jigger Starbuck about

only my fists. But man, what a sat-
isfaction it was to feel that pole-
cat's jaw under my knuckles!"
Dakota stared gravely into the
darkness. "If young Brockwell vas
half a man, I'd say he'd be ashamed
to go to Starbuck with that yarn.
But he's low enough to do anythin'
to gain his ends, Slims. Trouble's
liable to come to that."
"Don't think so," demurred Slim.
"Abe Fornachon told Leo if he
went to Starbuck about it he'd just
swear he did the fist•slingin' him-
self."
Dakota chuckled with relief. "By
gosh, Abe's plumb white. Looks as
it Starbuck is gonna have a very

Slim hurtled the bronco into the
corrals, then rolled and lit a cigar-

side the gate. ''No use me goin' to

nounced, "I couldn't sleep anyhow."

Status of Women
Has Improved in
Half A Century
League of Nations' Report
Shows There Has Been Con-
siderable Advance Made —
Votes Won, Education More
Widespread
A world-wide survey of the sta-
tus of women now underway by a
committee established at The 1938
League of Nations Assembly at
Geneva, is another step forward
in the international crusade be-
gun 50 years ago by the Interna-
tional Council of Women to ele-
vate women's position in the
home, community and profes-
sional field.
Votes for women have been
won, maternal mortality has been
reduced, pre -natal care improved
and investigations into migration,
education and traffic of women
have brought forth valuable con-
tributions.
Position 50 Years Ago
From the report of the honor-
ary recording secretary of the
council at the international meet-
ing in Glasgow in July, comes an
insight into the status of women
60 years ago. It discloses—
People then did not think it un-
usual for a wife to be beaten.
If a married woman went into
business every dollar she earned
belonged to her husband.
A widow could not legally claim
even as much as a dollar for her
life-long service within the home.
The child belonged entirely to
the father.
Prejudice hindered the medical
woman's career,

"What kind of a trial do you

men?"
"I want a little one," replied
the woman.
"All right, I take that to,

CHRISTMAS GOODIES
When you feel inclined to groan
at the thought of the Christmas
presents you have to buy and won-
der where will the money come
frons—forget about it. For a very
little money, some time and some
materials, you can give lovely
gifts to all those people you want
to slake happy. There are so many
people who would enjoy home-
made candies at Christmas time,
men and women who live away
from home and don't get home-
made treats very often — boys
and girls at boarding schools who
may be going home but who would
like to take something back to
treat their friends and those un-
fortunate people who will have to
be in hospital during the happy
season. A daintily packaged box
of hone -made candies is not just
a gift—it carries something of
your personality and is doubly
appreciated by the recipient be-
cause of the personal effort that
has been put into it.
Here are recipes for a nice as-
sortment.

Superfluous hair creates a per-
plexing. problem for many women,
and it is not surprising that many
of my letters deal with this prob-
lem,
Hot weather tends to bring out
downy growths on women not
normally subject to the blemish,
Cold weather sometimes destroys
these "seasonal" growths, but not
always,
Here is a bleaching treatment
that helps in cases where thele is
a slight growth on the face: mix
three tablespoonfuls of hydrogen
peroxide • with six drops of. am-
monia. If the skin is very tender,
add another tablespoonful of per-
oxide to weaken the bleach, In
applying this solution, use a clean
piece of absorbent cotton, and al-
low the liquid to dry on the face,
I am often asked if face creams
or soaps cause hair to grow, I can
say quite definitely that lotions,
creams and soaps do NOT cause
unwanted hair.
Electrolysis is sometimes effec-
tive as a cure. In many instances,
though, it leaves scars that dis-
figure the face. Electrolysis is
quite expensive, and necessarily a
slow process.
Tho wax treatment, used in
France for some time, seems to me
tho most effective treatment, as it
offers a reasonable assurance of
eee
complete eradication, and is not
dangerous.

When Girls Grow
Taller Than Boys
"Adolescent Spurt" Starts for
Girl When She's 9; For Boy
When He's 12
One fact that very few parents
realize Is that boys and girls grow
differently" Dr. Josephine Kenyon,.
of New York, last week told the
Fifth Institute on the Exceptional
Child. "Until they aro 8 years -
old, the growth Is the same, but the
adolescent spurt starts for the girl
when she is 9 and for the boy when
he is 12,
Eventually Grows Taller
"So while the boy is still slow-
ing• down, the girl is shooting up-
ward so rapidly that bofore long
site outstrips him and for three.
years the girls are actually taller
than boys of the same age."
Dr, Kenyon said that a boy's ado -
lucent spurt," is well uudorway
by the time that lie is 14, while a
great many girls have reached the
fall height when 16, Boys continuo
to grow until they aro 21, when the
average youth Is slightly moro than
four and a half inches taller than
the average girl.

LESSON XI
THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS
Exodus 20:17; Luke 12:13-21;
I Timothy 6:0.10
GOLDEN TEXT: "Thou Shall Not
covet." Exodus 20.17
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time -- Tho Ten Commandments
were given in 1498 13,C, The words
from Luko were spoken during
November or December, A,D„ 29;
the Firut Epistle of Paul to Timo-
thy was written A.D. 65,
Place -- The Ten ' Command-
ments worn given from Mount Sin -
ah Tho words taken from Luko
were spoken in Peraea on the east-
ern side of the Jordan River. It is
not known exactly where Timothy
was when he received this letter,
17, Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbour's house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his
man -servant, nor his maid -servant,
nor his Ox, nor his ass, nor any-
thing that is thy neighbor's, This
commandment is also repeated,
with slight variations, in Dent, 5:
211 There is one great distinction
between tho laws of other peoples
and the Hebrew code as found in
the Decalogue, namely, that among
no other people do we find a law
against covetousness. The com-
mandment "Thou shalt not covet"
"passes beyond the domain of civil
magistracy into that intellectual
real of motive, desire and thought,
where God alone is Lord and also
Judge.
The actual word "covet" in its
essential meaning is "to set the
heart on," very literally, "to pout
after," The sin, therefore, suggest-
ed by the word is very evidently
that of desire to possess something
which belongs to another.
The Root of All Sin
Covetousness includes in its own
scope all social life. Out of disobed-
ience to this command 'will spring
sins that break every law written
upon tho second table of the law.
Tho whole realms of human inter-
relation is disorganized and broken
up by the dishonoring of the tenth
commandment,
Luke 12:13.21. 1;1. And one nut
of the multitude said unto him,
Teacher, bid my brother divide the
inheritance with mc, This man's
personal affair was the supreme
thing for hint, not the teaching of
Jesus.
• 14; But he said unto him, Man,
who made me a judge or a divider
over you? Tho Lord never set him-
self as a rival to the magistrates of
the land.
What A Man Is
15. And he said unto them, Take
heed, and keep yourselves from all
covetousness, For a man's life con-
sisteth not in the abundance of the
things which ho possesseth, What
our Lord was continually emphas-
izing was the life of a man; not
what he possessed, but what he
was. IIe came that we might have
life, and that we might have it
moro abundantly. H,e declared that
life never consists of the things
which one has, but of the things
which ,ono possesses in one' own
heart,
16. And he spoke a parable unto
them, saying, Tho ground of a cer-
.tain rich man brought forth Monti -
fully: 17, and lie reasoned within
'himself, saying, What shall I do,
because I have not where to be-
stow my fruits? 18, And he said,
:This will I do: I will pull down my
barns, and build greater; and there
will I bestow all my grain and my
goods, Our Lord is about to illus-
trate the evil consequences of the
sin of covetousness by one of his
most remarkable parables (a par-
able found only in the Gospel of
Luke). •
19,,And I will say to my soul,
Soul, thou hast much goods laid up
for many,- years'; take thine ease,
eat, Think, be merry: Cf, 1 Cor, 15;
32.- The conversation is entirely
with himself. Ho does not think of
others who may be in need. Ile
says nothing about increasing his
gifts to God, if lie was giving any-
thing to God.
20. But God said unto him. Thou
foolish one, This night is thy soul
required of thee, And the things
which thou has prepared, whose
shall they .bo?

1. Tim, 6:6-S, 6, But godliness
with contentment is great gain:
Paul tells us that true gain hm„life
is found in godliness itself, toge-
ther with contentment, The word
rendered "contentment" signifies
that elevation of soul above exter-
nal earthly conditions which conies
from a consciousness of God's pre-
sence and love,
Contentment
7. For we brought nothing into
the world, for neither can we car-
ry anything out. Seo Job 1:21; Ps.
49:17.
8. But having food and covering
we shall therewith be content. Pro-
bably the word here translated "co-
vering" refers also to the shelter
of the home in which we live.
1. Tim, 6:9, 10. 9, But they that
aro minded to be rich. Fall luto a
tenmptation and a snare. And many
foolish and hurtful lusts. The de-
sires in question aro hurtful be-
cause they hinder true happiness.
Such as drown men in destruction
and perdition, 'Those who set their
hearts on being rich become in-
volved in the meshes of wordliness
and sin; their movements are so
fettered by cares and inordinate
desires, and by artificial wants,
that they are no longer free men.
10. hbr the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil; which
some reaching after have been led
astray from `the faith, and have
pierced themselves through with
many sorrows. For gold meu have
betrayed their country, their
friends, their God, their immortal
souls.
The Tenth Commandment Is also
God's demand that man shall put
the refits of the government of his
life into the hands Of Gpd.

The young gentleman in sporty

name is Stanley
Hoffman, w a s

Penner after win-
ning a vocal con-

a newspaper in
his home town,

Czechs Purchase
Ontario Farms
Recent purchases of three farm
properties and negotiations now
under way for others indicate
there will be a settlement of Cze-
choslovakian$ in Wentworth coun-
ty. It is understood the purchas-
ers of the farm lands were for-
mer residents of Czechoslovak
Sudetenland who left their home
country just before the recent
crisis.
Their search brought them to
the Hamilton district and sales of
the William Ridge farm at Mount
Hope, the Lloyd VanSickle farm
at Glanford Station and the Reu-
ben Srcn pruperty, also at Glen -
ford Station, have been reported.
The purchasers of these proper-
ties, all largo farms, are Czecho-
slovaks. It is said to be their in-
tention to engage in mixed farm-
ing.

People of Canhdian West Have
Lighte:t Mortality in Domin-
ion --- Are Much Healthier
Than Maritimers
Consider for a moment the
probability of a Canadian aged
25 dying within five years, says
Canada's Weekly. The probabil-
ity is greatest in the Maritime
Provinces and least in the Prairie
Provinces, being twice as high in
the former as in the. latter. The
expectation of life at the age of
five is over 64 years in the Prairie
Provinces and under 61 in Que-
bec, to take the two extremes,
Less Healthy Stay Home
Why should the Prairie Prov-
inces show better than Quebec
and the Maritimes? The answer
is simple, When large movements
of population take place, there is
a tendency for the more healthy
and energetic elements to move,
while the less healthy people stay
at home, To move to a strange
land requires, even at this day,
something of the pioneering spirit,
Hence it is that the Western
Provinces of Canada have the
lightest mortality. These prov-
inces have received much of their
population very recently,
Canadians Live Longer
Incidentally, the Canadian boy
of five can look forward to two
full years more of life than the
British boy of five, The Canadian
at 42 has 32 years in front of
him as against less than 30 of his
British cousin, Even at 75 there
is a difference in favor of the
Canadian of a little more than a
year.

the League of Nations Monthly
Bulletin of Statistics estimated,
The figures were 18,000,000 over

The bulletin revealed that more

and Japan and its possessions
100,000,000.
The population of Soviet Rus-
