Both Prinoa Leopold and bis wife, AetrM, expreesed their high regard-, and earnestly In- rlt«d the flier to coino again to Bel- gium whon he could stay longer. Burgomaster of Brussels The heroic Burgomaster of BrusseVs, Adolpho Max. whoee name acquired world fame during the war, greeted Captain Lindbergh In the famous City Hall, while 12.000 people massed in front of the bnildlng acclaimed blm. As he clasped the Burgomavtei'a hand the latter slipped a IHtle leather case Into the hand of the aviator. It contained a gold medal Inscribed In English : "To Captain Charles Lindberghâ€" The City of nruesels. May 29, 1927." The revcri-d side bore a herole winged flgiire. A piano etnirlc up, and out of the crowd steppe;! (lie baritone Boullle* of the famous Uniagals Opera Troupe of the Theatre de In Monnale. He sang "The Star-Spa ncled Banneir," and LlndberRh stood at attention. Qraceful Ever The song ended, he shook hands wannly, ond o.skod the singer If he would oblige with "La Bpabanconne." M. BoiiUlez obliged, sun>asslng him self, and the he.avy oak rafters of the old hall fairly rang with the stirring refrain: "The King, the Law, end Liberty." Then with his arm linked In that of the Burgornaflter, he went to the bal- cony, where all the leather-lounged burghers let him know Just what they thought of him. Shortly after he took off for Croydonâ€" London air port. Wild Enthusiasm Tho crowd which greeter the airman at the Croydon Aerodome was one of the largesit, wildest, most enthualastlc gathering* of men. women, boys and girls, and ersa Infants, ever assembled in that country to weloom« a private citizen of any nation. A crowd satlmated by the police at ntore than 100,000, breakinc down the barrlera, •warmed over the tiald just b*lor* til* avhttor oame to earth, and tlnoaH robbed htm of a landlnjc place.

This waa a task of the utmost dif- 8calt7 flor a time, and the utmoat con- fntloa vrsralled. But Anally enough â- paca waa oleareA, and the Spirit of St liOala OTtUed to the ground. Tha nmnaat the machine came to a stand- atlii It was surrounded as quick as a biA by wldly excited crowds that ran pett«aoU orer the fle4d and stampeded the quarters roped oft for tha offlcUl recsrptlon oommltte, thereby smashing •U th* earsfully arranged p>Iana for Blniggle ono of the windows of the car was broken. Eventually Lindbergh through tha megaphone said he had a request from Ambassador Houghton to make and the crowd listened. He said: "The Ambassador wants ma to ask you to please dear a way for his oar â€" ^he ask- ed me, and I am telling you â€" so we can get out." This request waa followed by an- other compelling smile, and the crowd sk)wly divided so the car could get through. « The Menace of Drugc. One of the greatest dangers that Western civilization facee â€" because so Insidious and silent â€" Is the traffic In narcotic drugs. It la a peril of parti- cular concern to the United States, since the use of drugs in this country Is known to t>e on the Increase and to have a direot relation to crimes of violence. The League of Nations has conduct- ed a sys'tem'atlc campaign against the evil. Progreee has not been as great as American foee of the narcotic trade bsHieve It could be, hut the endeavor has not been abandoned and advances have been made â€" euch as the llmltap tion of exports of opium from India, Now the League has published a re- port of seizures of UHcit shipments of drugs during the flrst eeven months of 1926, which gives some measure of the threat. Summtarized, It runs: ilaw opium, 65 tons; heroin, 8,620 ounces; marphlne, 10,196 ounces; cocaine, 626 ounces. Since drugs are sold and used in very sniaH doses, these amounta, it Is neceeaary to understand, are enough for an Immense Illegal business. The German police are reported to have dis- covered the existence of a band of In- ternational smugglers, carrying on traf- fic In many coumtries and "to an almost unbeHevable extent." â€" (Editorial from Tho Outlook.)

I Reference Made to Part Played by U.S. in Developing Country. The Herald-Tribune has devoted a recent leading editorial to a tribute to Canada on the approaching 60th anni- versary of Confedfratlon. "To the awo-IU3plrlng accompani- ment of 10,000 beacon firea, stretching in an unbroken line from Cape Breton to the Island of Vanoouv&r, the Do- minion of Canada will on July 1 cele- brate the 60th anniversary of Its birth. Those (Ires will illuminate 60 years of a unique history. In January, Presl dent Coolidge received in tho able and admirable figure of Mr. Vincent Mas- sey, Canada's flrst minister to tho Uni- ted State«. It was the conflrraatlon of the "Dominion status'â€"- an Innovation In world politics for which the British Empire end tho world at Large aro In debted to the success of tho expert' meat Initiated by the British North America Act of 1867. "CitlBena of the United States will be gkid to be romlnded that the month ot JuVy contains another Important na- tional birthday besides our own. Al- though British (Canada dates from the oeesilon of the territory In 1763 and representative government from one Constitution Act of 1791, It was not un- til July 1, 1867, that the Domlnton ot Canada came Into formal existence under, that tltlo and with a federal form of Rovemmont iiesembling, but not copying, our owu.

In the meantime, however, the Dominion has solved many lifDculties of national ex- IfliteiKie. accomi>lishcd tho enormous tnek of opening up its empty western reaches, achieved a racial harmony brated issue which so eoHvena Arac_i- and even dealt with the same cefe- oaii politics in a fHshiou for which many' Amerioaus entertain an oston- lahed admiration. Remarkable Growth "Canada's remarkable growth to na- tional stature is a process In which the United States can claim nn Important, If frequently somewhat Indirect, role. The unbroken peace which fans' reigned without beneflt ot forUflcations since 1813 between the two nations is one ot the startling exceptions to all In- ternational rules. But the differences which have arisen within that period ore more Impoptaut than the har- monl.e«. "In the famous ser!t>3 o' arbitrations with International commissions and Ir- ritated communication which have pas- sed between the two commuttLlea, the United States experienced Important lessons in tho arbitral method, while we provided Canada with the record upon which her claim to hor present nutonom.v in largely tt'itrded. Mr. Mas- sey can find prodecc9S<')n !a the Cana- dian members of the v.irlous tribunals which acted under thi- British Foreign Ofllce or precedc-nts !n the work of such bodies as the Canadian member- ship of tl'.e InteriMitlonat Joint Com- miaaU>n. "The dlri.'.greenwnta WLve frequently sharp and the feellus-s strong. But without a neighbor at once strong en ough to call forth Canadian exertions and ra^ons'ble enough to avoid war, the Dominion statue in Its present form might not have been attained. By this time the laeu-es have all faded and tha goodwill Is broken by nothing mure tlian the minor vexatious ot American 'culture' or the negligible difhcultles of Caniullan rum-ruuntng. Citizens of tho United States will re- joice in the Buccees ot the Dominion of Canatla.

With music all the meadows ring, In bush and; bower the shigsw throng, Llghthearted as the birds that sins. The ptoug'hman's day begkns with song. The furrows turn In faultless lines, Before the brawny-steadied plough; The sun climbs up tlie sky and shines With warmth Increasing, untU now. For one brief hour of sweet repose, He pauses at his highest-creet; The ploughman quits; even natura knows The pulseless noontide hour of res^ Then once again the ridges rise.

MOTOR ntAFFIC USSENS DRINK British Automobile Trade i» Now Making Remarkable Progress. Londonâ€" Tha codal •icnlflcsnos ot the motor car has been ths subject ot countless editorials, but aometimes tha news 'Columns give even more Interest- ing sidaUghU on this Interesting prob- lem, la England, where the motor car is now making swift progress after long lagging behind, the growth of motor trafllc Is a difflcult matter for the authorities to cope with, bacauia of the narrow, twisting roads, and tha creat difficulty In providing adequata parking itnd turning spaces in oU set- tled communities. The old coachlnc Inna of England suffered a great decline with the com- tng of thd rallwaya. and were forced to subsist on a much reduced kxal custom. The poptUarlty ot tha bicyota saved many of tham, and tha motor car seemed wea ealcntated to reatora then to their oLe-tlma prospartty, bat tha motoring class demands teclUtlas which ars said by obserrer* to maks tha old-style innkeaper retrtlVa. A writer In the Manchester Guardian re- cently commented Interestingly oa two phases of changed country condltloiu, ~ malmy due to the inorea ao d uaa o< oari. In the following words: '"Thera bsva probably been mora picnics thli Easter than In any Eaatar for many years. The continued streak of fine weather gava confidence, and the big Increase In the population with motor cars meant new opportunities. Along the south country roads at suit- able pleasant places were conntlasa small parties picnicking. It is notion able that people are becoming much more considerate than they used to ba^ both In the clearing away of the debris of their feasts and in the parking of their cars out of tha roadway. "The new roodhouses that have sprung up to cater for the new motor car public are Increasing quickly, and the hotels and Inns on the great roads that used to have a monopoly in vil- lages and smald towns are now finding that they have to make efforts to hold their business. A great many motor- ists who are not teetotalers now never touch alcohol until they have finished their driving, and the licensed house has to appeal to this class entirely by food and comfort. This Is not relished by the old type ot innkeeper." National Jealousies. Quebec Action Cathollque (Ind.): They are trying at present at Geneva to assure "econcnnc peace and the scctrrlty of poii.les." There Is only one way of making sure of both, and it Is not a new way, although they faardly appear to concern themselves with It at Geneva, an.l this is to work, as Chrlsttanity did In Its flower, to des- troy the egoism of nations at the sam« time aa that ot Individuals. Are there n-ot many who are generous enough when It Is a question of Individuals, but who develop a feit>cloiu» egoism I when It Is a question of nattonaltlee? I And do there not exist In our days I people who exploit not only Individuals but also uatioue? Whatever our faults, then) are thousands ot people In all ranks of society who are honestly trying to give of Uioir best for the good ot those around them.â€" nishc<p of Lichfield. - It was the morning after the night before, an<l a young cderk, having met too many friends, rang up hla chief at home about eight o'clock, explained ererythlug, and apologised for hla in- ability to get to the oflloo that day.
