The conference broke up and Mr. MacDonald. hurried off for an aud- ience with the King before leaving for Paris, on his way to Lausanne for the opening of the conference on international debts. Shortly afterward a twenty -word, ecrnmunique was read aloud in the office of Right Hon. J. H. Thomas, Dominions Secretary. It said: "There was a prolonged discussion on the points at issue, but it was not found possible to reach an agree- ment." Rum Runners Give Battle Windsor—United States Customs Border Patrol Inspectors were in- volved in at least one pistol battle with rum -runners on the Detroit river, according to Heinrich A. Pick- ert, Collector of Customs in Detroit, and posibly a second. Stanley Busby, Detroit, who was taken to the Metropolitan Hospital in Walkerville early today with a bullet wound in his head, is believed to have been shot by members of the Customs Patrol in a battle near Belle Isle, but no report of this shooting has been made to Pickert. The other shooting was near the foot of Randolph Street, Detroit, when Customs Inspectors sought to stop a heavily laden lugger and were fired on by the rum -runners. Mayor Walker Termed "Unfit" New York—Mayor James J. Wal- ker was termed "unfit" to continue in office by Samuel Seabury, who despatched tonight to Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt an analysis of testimony by the Mayor, for such action as the Governor "may deem just and proper." Seabury said he had "no request or petition to make in refernce to this matter," but he made it clear that he was satisfied the evidence would warrant remav- al of the Mayor. Brokers Given Tickets of Leave Ottawa—Official confirmation was made of the report that W. T. A. Shutt and James Hepplestone, mem- bers of the former brokerage firm of W. A. Mosey & Company, have been released from Portsmouth Penitentiary. The two brokers had served more than half their terms of incarceration. An application for clemency was made and granted. The official practice is not to make any statement on the release of men who are released from custody fol- lowing the serving of time in cus- tody. ,Sound Prayer Call A definite call to prayer was sounded by the delegates attending the fifty-eighth annual meeting of the Toronto Association of Baptist Churches, assembled in Century Church. This call was the result of a resolution which pointed out the seriousness of prevailing economic conditions, which are challenging the sincerity and efficiency of the Church, and putting to a test the faith and faithfulness of lite Christ- ian people everywhere, and in view of the crime wave which is sweeping the face of the earth. Alleged Red Sues for $80,000 Damages Winnipeg—Damages of $30,000 are claimed by Orton Wade, alias Herman Anderson, against W. K.

Favors may be. made from suckers, Have a sucker for each child, and sketch 'a face on the paper (luckily, children are not severe art critics), then thrust the stick in a rosy apple and place one at each child's place. An old-fashioned bouquet may be made from the very small suckers. You ran get them all the same color or you may have varied colors and put the sticks through the centre of a paper doily and arrange as a bou- quet, All yellow ones would make a pretty Easter bouquet. The chief thing to remember about favors is that all should be. alike. It is fatal to the success of your party to have a variety, as there are sure to be envy and heart-burn- ings. They may be as simple or as elaborate as you like but do have them identical. The only variety that may be permitted is to have one kind for the boys and another for the girls. Even that has proven dan- gerous. Children adore a little decoration. One of the simplest ways of decor- ating your table is to use animal crackers. They are inexpensive and the youngsters get a thrill out of eating the decorations. To make thele stand up, use a dab of icing on a plain home-made cookie, or a vanilla wafer, a graham biscuit or some simple biscuit of that type. You may have an animal in front of each place and by using an icing tube you can write each child's name on a cracker and they may be used as place cards. If you wish tit y may parade across the table, nue by one, or they may come ark- fashion—the animals came two by two. I have even seen them on the cake. They need only to be stuck in the icing. Any way you like to use them, you may be sure the child- ren will like them. Have you tried putting the birth- day candles for the cake in gum- drops? They are easy to arrange, and the colored candies add to the decorative qualities. Refreshments for the children's parties should be simple, as I have said before. To most children, the refreshments 'are the party', so they must be interesting. A little work and ingenuity with simple foods will give the children plenty of thrills. Sandwiches are always popular. You cannot tell me a child who does not like sandwiches. Most youngsters like egg sandwiches and they cer- tainly are safe. Children adore color and sandwiches made from cottage cheese or from a white cheese and colored are always liked. Colors may be purchased in either paste or liquid form and are quite safe to use. But remember that a little col- oring goes a long way, so be spar- ing in its use. A Children's Party Holiday time brings parties in its wake, and the child who is lucky en- ough to have a birthday' come in the holidays is sure to want a party. Children's parties should be simple and they need not be expensive to be successful. Mothers will thank you from the bottom of their hearts if your will keep your refreshments simple. So many mothers complain that their children are always upset after a party. I do ,not think ours were ever actually sick after a party, but I do know that they have been cross and hard to get on with, the following day. One little boy 'that we knew was sick after every party, so finally his mother used to bribe him to stay home. Too rich food, and too much excitement. Children's food should be simple but attractive. Children love to get something at a party to have it to take home to show. Candy is always appreciated and if it can he taken home intact so much the better as then it may eaten under mother's supervision. Baskets filled with small candies are easy to make and always liked. Most children enjoy things that are doll - lose Fat —and Feel Better for it How would you like to lose 13 pounds of fat in a month and at the sante time increase your energy and improve your health ? Get on the scales to -day and see how much you weigh—then get a bottle of Krusehen Salts (lasts 4 weeks). Take one half teaspoonful every morning in a glass of hot water—reduce the food supply—increase daily activities and when you have finished the first bottle weigh yourself again. Now you can laugh at the people who spend money galore to lose a few pounds of fat—now you will know the pleasant way to lose unsightly fat, and you'll also know that the 6 vitalising salts of lrnschen (salts that your blood, nerves and glands must have to fuitetion properly) ---have presented you with glorious health, After that you'll want to walk around and say to your friends—" One pc. bottle of iruschen Salts is worth ten dollars ass any fat .person's money." well rotted manure mixed with the soil 'before planting. The plants can be put in either in spring or fall and if they are on their own roots they will spread by suckers and make fine clumps in a few years. They need very little care, except weeding, and are not susceptible to disease or in- sect pests. The varieties mentioned here are hardy at the Central Ex= perimental Farm, -Ottawa, without, protection. Rarrison's Yellow is the well- known yellow rose so often seen in old gardens. Seedlings of this orig- inated at the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, have proved equally hardy. Orinda is one of the best and has cream coloured flowers. Scotch roses have dainty flowers and make very attractive bushes. One that blooms all sumtner is Stanwell's Per- petual. Two varieties originated at the Experimental Farm which be- long to this class have been named Huron and Iroquois. Betty Bland, which has reddish bark and pink flowers and very few thorns, is a seedling originated by Mr. Skinner, Morden, Manitoba. Rugosa hybrids are very useful roses for Canadian conditions. The species rubra and alba are beautiful in flower and in fruit. Many of the hybrids do not set seed, but have finer flowers than in the species. Agnes and Grace, two varieties or- iginated by the late Dr, Wm. Saund- ers, have amber -coloured flowers.. F. J. Grootendorst is a perpetual bloom- er. It winter -kills a little at Ottawa but blooms on new growth. It is red and there is a pink form also. Hansa and Roseraie de l'Hay are red. Blanc Double de Coubert and Souvenir de Philemon Cochet are white and have a long blooming sea- son. Rubrosa variety Carmenetta is a large growing shrub with reddish foliage and clusters of pink flowers. This was originated at the Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, and is very hardy. Two species that should be grown where space permits are R. rubrifol- ia with red leaves and clusters of small red, blossoms. R. spinosossima. altaica has a large single cream flow- er. Magistrate (sternly to motorist defendant) : "Your own common sense should have told you it was your duty to stop after an accident!"

"I'm not very fond of prunes," he said. "Have I no choice?" "Yes," replied the lady of the house. "You can take them or leave them." * * * * "There goes Mrs. Blank. What brings her to Florida, I wonder?" "She wants to get rid of her rheumatism." "But why did she bring her three; daughters?" "Oh, she wants to get rid of them too." * * * * The headmaster entered the class- room and beckoned to little Tommy Brown. "I was very surprised," he com- menced, "to see a boy like you throw a stone at a little bird this morning. That was a thing I could never do.' A look of innocence came over the boy's face. "Oh, it's very simple, sir," he re- plied. "It only needs a bit of prac- tice." If you wish to serve something else other than sandwiches, Golden - Rod eggs have proved a success. These are made by adding the chop- ped egg-whites to a cream sauce and pouring this over toast. Then sprin- kle the crushed egg -yolks over the. top. Looks attractive, tastes good, and is a simple food. What more could you ask? If the children are very small it may be wise to cut the toast in inch squares to simplify eating. The dessert is the high -light of the child's meal. Ice-cream is a treat always. Have you ever used those little candies sometimes called 'hun- dreds and thousands' for decorating? They are effective on either desserts or cakes. If you are using then; on ice cream add them at the last min- ute or the colors will run. Choco- late hocolate shot is another easily added de- coration. Jellies may be made decorative by moulding in flat pans and cutting in inch cubes, Jellies of two different colors are attractive used in this way. A rainbow jelly may be made by using three different colors of jelly powedr. Mould them in layers and let one layer harden before add- ing the next. This may be made in a loaf pan and served in slices by way of variety. If lemonade is the beverage, color it with some cherry juice from your canned cherries and put a cherry in the bottom of each glass. If cocoa is the beverage, make it without sweetening and put a marshmallow in the bottom of each cup. The co- coa will melt it and it acts as a sweetener and makes a fluffy drink, These things are easily done but add to the allure of common foods, r "Br* a we'll HARDY ROSES IN BLOOM IN JUNE (Experimental Farms Note) Most of the hardy roses that flower its June only bloom once, and therefore they should not be planted in a formal rose garden.
