A TRIP TO CALIFORNIA CON'4NUEO ,)FEOM PAGE ONE • Wh/ilei here wetook a side trip across`the line into Mexico. The town of Tia Juana needs no introduction to followers of the races, but the newer race track of Agua Caliente, a few miles farther on, May not be so well known. IVIillions have been .spent in equipping this resort from the palatial hotel to the quarters for the horses. .At the race track is a magnificently furnished clubhouse and casino, the new world Monte Carlo. Everything was wide open, and if we !brought away nothing but a few post cards, it was not for lack of opportunity. While we brought nothing away, neither did we leave anything for which we may thank our Scotch aversion to risking our "bawbees." While Los Angeles is a city of many delights which, to do them justice, would require more than a paragraph, is much like every other city with its parks and boulevards and theatres. There are, however, one or two things worthy of more than passing mention and one of these is Forest Lawn !Memorial Park, which occu- pies 390 ares. There is not a single tombstone to he seen, but instead there are set throughout the grounds and buildings nearly 200 beautiful works of art. There is a magnificent mansoleum built of marble at a cost of five millions, in which a crypt can be purchased for as low as, $450, but Gillette, of razor fame, purchased one for which he paid $50,000. There are two churches on the grounds, one of which, "The Wee Kirk o' the Heather." being an eat reproduc- tion of the little kirk in Dumfrieshire where Annie Laurie worshipped. The other, "The Little Church of the Flowers," was inspired by the church et Stoke Pages, England, where Gra?! wrote his Elegy. It is the aim, of the administration to avoid as much as possible all appearance of gloom, ea both churches contain blooming, plants, ferns and singing birds and they are quite as often the scenes of weddings and baptisms as of funeral services. The last week of our stay was spent in leisurely motoring from Los An- geles to San Francisco. California is a state of amazing contrasts and it is this great variety of scenery which is its peculiar charm. One can be riding along a fertile valley through orchards of blooming trees and in an hour's ride be up among the snow- capped mountains, or on a desert, where the only growth is cactus and the curious Joshua trees. In cross- ing the MoJaya desert, our attention was drawn to a beautiful purple glass bottle lying on the sand 'and it was explained that any glass left exposed on the desert: turns this color. In Ontario the, ihottle turns the people purple. The most wonderful spot We visit•; ed was Yosemite National Park, and! a I ni unable to describe its I quote J uir, the noted! .natUealigt, who ! temple 'Made •Mtli ancis; • are with 'Yosemite . . .! ul) 'in stern immovable majesty!!

The Yosemite Falls, for instance, drop 1,430 feet in one sheer fall, a height equal to nine Nitigaras, then drops, another 320 feet or two Niagaras more, and at times the fall of the water makes the earth tremble for hall a mile. Reluctantly we turned away from such wonders, casting many a backward glance. We struck the coast highway again at Monterey, the first capjtol of Cali- fornia. It is now the millionaires' playground, but among the many wonderful home's that which most in- terested us was the unpretentious old house where Robert Louis Stevenson lived and wrote. Following the coast northward we passed through many fine towns, stop- ping at Palo -Alto to see Stanford University and President Hoover's home, which is on the campus, The University is worthy of more than a passing glance, particularly the mem- orial chapel, which is elaborately dec- orated both inside and out with Yfosiac and paintings. At last we reached San Francisco and found two or three days all too short to see the sights of this beautiful city of hills, hut we carried away vivid pictures of its fine harbor and sunset through the golden gate, of its unique Golden Gate Park, and its fascinating China- town, and its fish docks, where you see everything that swims and where every stall has its pot of boiling water to cook your crab when you pick one out. Berekley and Oakland across the bay, are reached by ferry and the former's claim to renown is that it is the home of the University of California. Both places are popu- lar residential districts. Our trip home was made via Salt Lake City and Denver, at both of which places we made short stops. The chief attractions at Salt Lake are the Mormon Temple and the Taber- nacle, .both so well known that they need no comment. A sight-seeing tour around the city included a !visit to the Utah State Capitol, an espec- ially beautiful building. Our guide also pointed out Brigham Young's home and country estate, and his hurial plot, and he amused the party by pointing to a home, the owner of eh:ch, he said, had buried more wives than Brigham Young, adding that ha was an undertaker. Standing in the Temple Square is a tall shaft sur- raounted by a sea gull, erected to commemorate the miraculous delivery of the Marmon pioneers when a plague of crickets threatened destruc- tion of their crop in 1848. Flocks oi sea gulls appeared and preyed upon the destroyers until the pests van- ished. We were pleased and surprised when in response to a note from me, Mr. William McDoviell. an old echool- mate of mine, boarded the train and visited with us for some 75 miles. He has been living in Colorado most of his life, and his interest:4 are chiefly there. We relived many school day experiences and one incident we recalled was the escapade of Edward Hinchley and two or three other boys, when on the way to scheol through the woods they encountered that little animal, who is so strong but on the offensive and defensive. Edward led the attack and naturally suffered. the worst. Their arrival at school was nuickly sensed by the other scholars, and the classes soon became disrupt - 'i because the atmosphere now was the very antithesis of spring flowers. The boes were sent home for the time being, but it proved Edward's graduation as he never returned. A short stopover in Denver gave as tirneilor a drive around that wide - o wake elty. The country around Denver veryhibeautiful, but all its attractions were not strong enough a make us tarry, so evening found us homeward hound. Two days later we arrived safely in Toronto, feeling more than ever convinced that Can - da is the !best all-round country in he world. Toronto.

PROFIT IN TOP DRESSING PASTURE FIELDS It is becoming more and more ap- parent that the judicious use of fert- ilizers as top dressing on pasture lands is likely to be quite profitable. Basing their suggestions' on the re- sults of co-operative pasture fertiliz- ing tests conducted last year, and up. on results obtained in other parts of America and in Europe, the Depart- ment of Chemistry at the Ontario Agricultural College recommends the • top dressing of pastures with 300 to 500 pounds per acre of 3-10-5 or ' 4-8-6 fertilizer, or with 300 pounds 0-12-8 or 0-16-6 followed by a second • top dressing, about ten 'days later, of .200 pounds soluble nitrogen salts. ! Pastures on sandy or gravelly loam soils benefit materially from fertiliz- ers fairly high in potash. This is especially true where much alfalfa is I found in the pasture. High potash ' fertilizers always increase the per cent. of clover in the pasture, while, phosphoric acid invigorates the root Chooseytnjp STEE Et BRIGGS?

The fertilizer should be broadcast evenly on the pasture field soon after growth has started in the spring. and preferably after the dew has dried off the grass and clover. In many instances, good results have been ob- tained by harrowing the pasture, where possible, after fertilizing it. The best results will be realized where the pasture is well drained and where the soil is sweet. NURSE GAINS 7 lbs.

When you buy branded beef bear - ,ng the red or blue brand of govern- ment inspection you know what you get. Much effective work has been done by the Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture in respect to popularizing branded beef but the serious fact is that there is an acute shortage of beef animals which will measure up to the strict standards of the official grades. Most if the larger retail stores, however, new stock one or both grades. There are orily two grades in branded .beef: "Choice" and "Good." The "choice" beef is in all cases designated by a red band. This grade is necessarily limited in volume and represents the product of particularly high class well finished cattle. The "good" beef is identified by a blue brand and is the grade in greatest supply. It includes only beef which can safely be recom- mended as of good eating quality. Six months in operation finds the new brands gaining rapidly in popular fav- our particularly because of the as- surance of quality which the govern- ment stamp provides.

Get a trial package, either powder or tablets, from your druggist, use as directed, and indigestion and stomach troubles will go like magic. GANDHI WELL MATCHED IN VICEROY OF INDIA It is said that the people of India believe that whatever great men Bri- tain has produced in the past or may produce in the future, she never has and never will produce a Gandhi. But they agree that perhaps the nearest thing to a Gandhi that is likely to emerge from those foggy isles in the northern seas happens now to be in India and to be, with Gandhi, the other great protagonist in that great crisis which the country is approach- ing. Though Lord Irwin was practi- cally an unknown man when he was appointed Viceroy. his identity having been further disguised by the unex- peeted name that he assumed with his title, it 'seems now that no better ap- pointment could have been made. For a certain period in Indian history a Curzon may have been the predestin- ed man. At other times a Reading could understand the immediate prob- lems better than any other who might have been named; but for the present it seems that Irwin is perfectly cast in his great role. He is a man who perhaps does not understand the In- dian people any better than other viceroys. But the Indian people un- derstand him. Particularly Gandhi understands him. If these two men, acting as plenipotentiaries, could not reach an agreement, then we might well believe that an agreement is hn- possible without bloodshed. In the and, however, the agreement is like- lytobe one that the two might ap- prove.To understand Lord Irwin it is ne- zessary to know something about his father, the redoubtable Lord Halifax, leader of the Anglo -Catholic party in the Anglican church, the friend and confidant of ;Cardinal Mercier, the venerable English peer who would probably journey on foot a thousand miles for the honor of kissing the Pope's ring. Lord Halifax, we pre- sume, would derive greater joy in the prospect of the Church of Eng- land uniting formally with the Church of Rome than in the knowledge that his son had saved India for the Brit- ish Empire. One can guess at the spiritual atmosphere in which Lord Irwin was brought up and though many boys thus reared would have turned out Baptists, Lord Irwin, or rather Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, as he was christened; was not that kind of boy. He recognized his father as his spiritual mentor, and as a young man proved his devotion by writing the life of John Keble, the tractarian, and hymn writer. Tho things unseen are as important to Lord Irwin as the things seen. He -re- cognizes the supremacy of the spir- itual over the material. He is strong- ly touched with asceticiem. Probably there 'was never a governor-general of India who could understand Gandhi RS well, and never one with whom Gandhi would have so much in com- mon. How young Wood escaped becom- ing a curate or even a priest we do not know. But he followed the nor- mal route of young Englishmen of wealth and position and went to Eton end later to Christ Church. Oxford. He then returned to the duties of looking after the Halifax estates while his father busied himself pas- sionately in his crusade to extirpate the lurking protestantism in the Church of England. When he mar- ried the daughter of Lord Onslow, he could boast, if boasting were not for- eign to his nature, that he was relat- ed by blood or marriage to half the peers in England. He was a Conserv- ative and as a matter of course en- tered Parliament. He remained a modest back bencher, a tall, good humored, Quiet yedng man whom peo- ple liked instinctively and who in a short time was known not by a great many people, but by the most of the people whom it was important to know. Stanley Baldwin picked him oat and made him under-secretary for the colonies at a time viten. the col- onies were disappearing almost over night and becoming self-governing dominions. His duties' were not on- erous. He was also president of the Board of Agricfilture and the Board Of Education, and when one says that his performances in these. posts were adequate he says all that it is requir- ed to say and at the same time SUg- gesta, that the roles were unimport- ant.

Here's the secret. They are made by an utterly different process from all other ready -to -eat cereals. Grains of wheat and rice are sealed in bronze guns. The guns are revolved in fiery ovens. jn this terrific heat the natural grain moisture in each tiny food cell expands into steam. When the guns are fired, 125 million explosions occur in each grain. Every tiny food cell is com- pletely broken up. (Just as it would be from long hours of cooking.) Hence every particle of food s completely digestible. This is why Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are rated as virtually as nourishing as hot cooked cereals. When these grains come forth in showers from he guns, they've been puffed to 8 times normal ize. They're crisp, fragile, crunchy ... deliciously ood to eat. They taste like sweet new nutmeats. Like fresh buttered popcorn. You'll say you never • efore dreamed that wheat and rice could be so meltingly good to eat. • Don't neglect to give your family this more deli- ous • . more richly nourishing cereal.

PUFFED WHEAT AND PUFFED RICE 5751 to this time could well be imagined and when it was announced that he was to be the next Viceroy of India there was surprise amounting in same quarters to 'stupefaction. He had cer- tainly not mounted the conventional steps to this eminence, the mot im- portant appointment in the gift of the Crown, and just at a time when it was inore important than ever be- fore. Had the choice been by public vote there are probably thousands of men in England who would have been preferred. A vote in the House of Commons would probably have found Mr. Wood, as a candidate, trailing the field. But, as remarked, the people who are important, the people who are trained to note ability and character no matter how modest they may be in asserting themselves, happened to know young Mr. Wood. They knew him so well that when the vacancy occurred he was regarded as the in- evitable choice. So, as it would never do to send a commoner to meet the princes of India, and since Lord Hali- fax was hale and gave no sign that his own title might presently become vacant his son who created Lord Ir- win and sailed for India. He had not been there long when an attempt was made on his life. He made no fuss about it, but proceeded at once to summon to audience the significant Lo*rLife ,.,Grea Ler Economy„ due to moderate engine speed men in Indian affairs. Upon these he made the kind of impression that those who had appointed him had ex- pected. Eiverybody was treated with the utmost respect. All were met as equals and the Governor-General showed the greatest anxiety to listen to all points of view. He also public- ly called the attention of the British Government to the fact that certain promises had been made to India and that the time had come when they should be fulfilled. It is not the Brit- ish point of view but the Indian point of view that he has discussed in the newspapers. Lord Irwin is perhaps the greatest legacy that the Labor Government has fallen heir to. HOURS of steady high-speed driv- ing are no hardship for the Pontiac Big Six. For its big 60 -horsepower engine develops maximum power and road speed at extremely moderate engine speed. The result is, of course, less wear on moving parts at all times . . longer life for the engine . . and less ex- pense per mile of driving. And this is only one reason why the Pontiac Big Six is so unusually long-lived and economical. New -type rubber mountings, which insulate the engine from the frame, cushion it also against road shocks. The crankshaft has a harmonic balancer to counteract torsional vibration. Crank- case ventilation prevents water vapour from diluting the engine oil. And, as an added factor of economy, the strongly - built wood -and -steel bodies by Fisher, preserve their beauty for years, and thus • result in larger trade-in values.
