THE HON. P. C. LARKIN .By the death of the Hon. P. C. Lar- kin a. couple of weeks ,ago, the Do- minion of Canada lost a patriotic and. successful citizen, and a valuable pub- lic servant. By "a—zealous devotion to one line of work, theorgaizati n and devel- opment of the packet tea business, he established the largest and best known: business pi its kind on this side of the . Atlantic, if not in the world, and amassed great wealth. One of the means most extensively and persistently usedwas newspaper advertising. Wherever ' newspapers. are known, his trade -mark Salada is familiar throughout Canada and in parts of the United States. It is ac - P ceptrice.ed as a standard of quality and His economic and wide outlook qualified him to act as Canada's rep- resentative in the capital of the Em- pire, and his work there is recogniz- ed, as very valuable. He was thor- oughly cognizant of the needs of this country, and was thus able to act ef- fectively in its interests. One .of his accomplished efforts was the removal of the embargo on Canadian rattle. He was philanthropic in a large way. In conjunction with Sir Joseph Flavelle he did much to place Tor- onto General Hospital in Toronto at the head of institutions of that kind in .the Dominion. Hi: was a Liberal in politics. He was a close friend of Sir Wilfred Laurier, his host when Sir Wilfred visited Toronto, and he has been on intimate terms with the present Prime Minister. His advice and aid in times of difficulty were freely given and much appreciated. In London he performed his duties as High Commissioner with conspic- uous zeal. He was hospitableto a degree. The weekly newspaper peo- ple who visited Europe in 1924 re- member with, pleasure the great ban- quet given in their honor at the Ho- tel Cecil, and the reception tendered them at his London residence by Mrs. Larkin, Miss Larkin and himself. These functions were conspicuous features of a memorable trip. They afforded the editors an opportunity of seeing and meeting not only him- self, but many other distinguished men. His life affords tis an out.tanding example of how men of wealth, abil- ity and public spirit may. help great - l} in promoting the interests of their country outside of .Parliaments or Governments.

A. dog barked one night along the Austrian frontier. The sentry stopped and listened. A slight stirring in the brush and the rookie, loath to .fire at what plight be a false alaim, eon" tinued' his lonely ,vigil. A young pre- feasor crawled away through th darkness of the Bohemian night and emerged a few months later into the political limelight of the Versailles Peace Conference. Edouard Benes, perennial Foreigt Minister of the Czechoslovakian Re- public, has followed the spotlight carer since. Now and then it shifts momentarily: to other figures upon the European post-war stage, but not for long does it remain away. The little tin god that newspapermen -cre- ated' when they were inclined to be kind to the protege of President Thomas Masaryk somehow manages to retain his lustre now that foreign correspondents no longer consider him interesting, When he was climb- ing the ladder to political fame he found the writers and journalists worthy of Cultivation and even be- friending; now that his position has become secure the friendships of by- gone days he is prone to forget. Per- haps it is because the pens that sang his praises have found it equally easy to expose his defects. Benes, ;at 45, is the dean of Euro- pean foreign ministers. With the ex- ception of an interim when he was both Foreign Minister and Premier at Prague, he has held that office un- interruptedly since 1918. Cabinets come and cabinets go—in Czechoslo- vakia—but Benes and Masaryk go on forever. Physically Edouard Benes is small, Beside Lord Cushen n de Count. A - ponyi and others with whom he sits in Disarmament Conferences and the assembly he appears almost a midget. His actions might be characterized as sparrow-like, . He is no master of language nor is he brilliant at ora- tory.However, he has a personality, professor -like though it may be, and has the faculty of linking himself with- events that greatly surpass him in importance. While M. Politis of Greece and M. Rolin of Belgium drafted the famous Geneva Protocol it .was Benes' name that the docu- ment bore. That Benes has ability goes with- outsar in. . y g He has presided over ,the security committee of the' league al- most since the beginning. In the council :chamber during the y,ears that Czechoslovakia was a member --he served with distinction.. He made few friends, but fewer political ene- mies and ingratiated himself to many same time the Czecoslovakian- Min- ister has done a lot put the league upon the map, even though he put himself and his country before the public by the same manoeuvre. Be- hind the scenes he has managed to pull a few strings—the Hungarians up to the present time having failed to bring the troublesome.. minority dispute between Budapest and Prague to Geneva. Likewise the pleadings of the Russian minorities in the Carpathians have never gotten beyond the confines of eidsed.com- mittee doors. Small as he is physis °ally Benes has always been able to block any opening through which controversies embarrassing to Prague might emerge.' Therein lies one of the keys to his success. Undoubtedly Edouard Benes will be able to hang on until 1932. He has hitched his wagon to Briand's "United States of Europe!' scheme. and is backing Laborite Britain's dis- armament crusade — but with both his fingers crossed. He has gone far, says an article in the Toronto Star Weekly, but has yet still farther to go before he can be said to have entered the ranks of the really great—or even near -great. • A CAPABLE SURGEON. E1laainian Cobbler Performed 600 Major Operations. Although he bore the nickname of "The Slasher" sick people in the Ukraine used to hurry to Comrade Dr.. Nelski, ehief surgeonof a group of Soviet hospitals at Kiev. He had 600 major operations to his credit and his nickname was well deserved by the ruthless vigor with which he wielded the knife. But whatever Dr. Nelski did, her always sewed up. his gaping inci- sions with admirable neatness as neatly as a cobbler stitching uppers to a sole. Dr. Nelski's career as a surgeon is now ended. He has been sentenced- to six years' imprisonment, for he confessed his real name was Ivan Kolesnikov, and his true profession shoemaking. Eight years ago he stole the diploma and paraphernalia of. a certain assassinated Dr. Nelski and decided to 'palm himself off as a surgeon. Hospital officials testified that he was a man of practical effi- ciency and stoutly -praised "The Slasher." They are, however, also being tried to see whether they have taken bribes from the cobbler. Adopt Western Sunday. While the Ratssian Government has been trying to abotish Sunday, the Turkish Government has just adopt - 1 ed the Western custom of observing I the first day of the week (in pleae rids .a day the Moslem F y7 a s of rest. It was found so awkward to have two ,such days. Public (Aiiees in Turkey closed on Friday; banks and. most places of business closed on Sunday. So it was sensibly decreed that ` the example or the rest of Eu- rope should be followed, even though it was Christian. Whether the mass of the population will alter then' habit of keeping Friday as we keep Sunday remains to be seen. It is tre'tty certain Russians will not atllly give their Sunday up. Con n sn Name.

By virtue of the art they practice, magicians are the most fascinating people in the world, Because they accomplish the seemingly impossible, ordinary men and women are tempted to regard them as agents of the supernatural, That, et c•nrse, is an illusion as pronounced as their ;nagic. To appreciate their limita- tions, their frailties, and their weak- nesses, as in other humans, one must read the new book by Will Goldston; "Sensational Tales of Mystery Men:" Of the ill-fated Lafayette the author says: This man was unsociable to the point of rudeness: He drilled his as- sistants like soldiers, and d expanded that they should salute him in the street. , He bought a diamond collar for his dog. He paid all accounts by cheque, no matter if the debt was only a penny. His dog Beauty was his greateat weakness. It was this animal whose portrait was on all the magician's cheques and theatrical contracts. A special bathroom was built for the dog at Lafayette's house in Torrington square, and at night time the animal was served with a regular table d'hote meal from soup to sweets. The truth about this eccentric man's death in the Empire Theatre fire, Edinburgh, in May, 1911, is giv- en. It was popularly supposed that he escaped,' but returned to- save his white horse. What happened was that Lafayette rushed to the "pass door" to escape, forgetting that he always stipulated it should be locked during his show to prevent detection of his illusions. A remarkable theory is advanced by Mr. Goldston concern- ing the death of Chung Ling Soo, who'of the as w shot on the stage. Wood Green Empire in March, 1918. "A.ccidental death" 'was the verdict at the inquest. Mr. Goldston, who knew Chung Ling Soo, turns down any question of murder. His theory is that it was suicide "the most ingenious and gold -blooded suicide that was ever planned." -The trick "Catching the Bullet" was worked with two • live and marked bullets and two harmless ones. Soo should have had thelive 'bullets in his possession before the other were fired at him from a rifle bya member of theaudience. The e e. live ones were fired, and itwas found that the sealed barrel had been opened. Soo had handled it a few minutes before. A glass of water, it seems, saved Harry Houdini, the most picturesque and the most sensational escapologist the world has known from ruin and discredit. Houdini was chhllenged to escape from a pair of handcuffs made by ` a Birmingham blacksmith. He accepted, readily. His love of public- ity conquered any misgivings about. statements that the manacles ` could be opened only with a special key. The magician .walked confidently before an audience of 2,000 at the London Hippodrome. The manacles were placed on :his wrists. Minutes passed, and Houdini was still .a pris- oner, Half an hour passed, arid he was still manacled. An hour passed, and Houdini asked his wife for a glass t fr water. Ten more minutes, and the handcuffs were flung on the stage.He was free. How did he escape. Mr. Goldston tells the story as it was related by a reliable friend. After an hour's struggling, said my informant, the magician realized that he would never escape. So 1,.. asked his wife for a glass of water, and gave her to understand she would have to produce the key at all costs. It was rumored that Bes- sie Houdini placed the key in the Cass of water and -took it to Houdini on the stage. When Houdini came in to see me two days later I put the question to him point blank. "Since you know so much, Will, you had better find out the rest," was all he said. Afterwards Houclini told. Mr. Goldston he would sooner face death a dozen times than live through the ordeal again. The much-discussed -secret of the Zancigs, the famous thought -reading act which startled the whole of Eu- rope and America, is revealed in the book. Mr. Goldston wrote a few com- mon Hebrew words on slips of paper and handed them to Julius Zancig, asking his. wife to spell them out. Zancig glanced at them once, and handed them back. "We cannot do it," he confessed. "The pair worked oil a complicated and intricate code," explains Mr. Goldston. "There was never any question of thought trans ference in the act. By framing his questions in a eer ain manner, Julius was ,able to convey to his wife exactly what sort of object or design had' been handed to him." Mr. Goldston recalls bow he made a special cage, with a fine -mesh hair net inside, which enabled Carl Hertz to perform the vanishing canary trick before the Select Committee of the House of Commons without In- juring the canary. He adds, how- ever, "The American actually did kill or injure a large number of birds hi his illusion.". Training Dancing Girls.
