"My brother, the Duke of York, in opening the first meeting of the Parlia ment of the Commonwealth of Aus- i,?.;ia at Canberra, said: ‘It is, per haps, peculiarly fitting that we should celebrate the birth of this new Capital city just after the close of an Imperial Conference which represents the be ginning cf another chapter in our Em pire story.’ "It is at least as fitting that the notable landmark in the growth of the Empire fixed by that Conference should also coincide with Canada’s celebration of her Diamond Jubilee.

They aro tho secret acr- yico agents, whoso business it lu to secure his safety, writes F. A Mac kenzio in the London Dally News. Everyone sees tho open proteitmn. tho police ear that drives in fiou*- el tho royal guest, the attendant high police officials and the like. But be hind this is an organization that goes much deeper. The real guard in the systematic watch that is kept on every possibly dangerous organization in this coun try. This is not a new thing. Thirty years ago, when the International© hjLd Its club and secret groups cen tred behind Tottenham Court-road, somo of tho most violent members of these, groups received police pay, not always from Britain. To-day the system is more far- reaching. Our secret service has its agents or informers in practically every violently revolutionary group In this country. People likely to make trouble are known, just as each class of thief is known to the C.I.D. Their records are docketed, and their faces are familiar to the men behind the scenes. Before any state visit to this coun try our secret ’service gets in touch with the secret service of the other country and learns what dangerous elements, if any, might get here, who the men are behnd them, where they are and what their appearance is.; Suspicious nationals find the ports closed to them. . On the day of procession through London, any suspected man who comes anywhere near the Royal visit or is kept under close watch. If he starts to make trouble he is quietly, swiftly and effectively put on one side, and the men who do it are not particularly careful about the meth od employed. Quite recently on the occasion of a big royal ceremony ,a violent Com munist who had been waiting quietly among the spectators started to shout as the royal carriage drew near. "This is what we want,” ho cried, putting his hand into his. innei* breast pocket to pull out a red flag. Before he had Die flag half out, three men standing near turned on him. “You’ll get what you want,” said one, and three firsts simultan eously struck his jaw. The man took ho more interest, in‘the proceedings. Now, of coufS’e," these three men may have been loyal citizens, suddenly moved by the same impulse, but it whs a curous coincidence that they happened to be just where they were.. •wcnwwro ^LL CLEANING SOFTENS WATER Eyerywoman's Wald-of-olhwork friad Real Badl Spells*- When tho heart begins to beat irregu- i larly or intermittently, palpitates and throbs, skips beats, beats fast for a time and then so slow as to.seem almost to stop, and tho least little excitement pe^ms to affect it, it causes groat anxiety i and alarm.
