ADVANTAGE OF TREATY. Mr. King began by reading from the treaty which, he said, had two great advantages over the League of Nations, in that it included the United State* and several others, nations not belonging to tho League, and that it agreed to renounce war not only for sity of thoroughly insulating walls and roofs to pit vent heat from escap- ing. JIuch Inventive talent has been devoted in tho past decade to the pro- duction of nia»frials for this purpose, many of wood fibres, ov straw and other vegetable fibres, some of var- ious rock products. The Canadian Government forest products labora- tories have devoted a good deal of re- tho period of three months after the ^^^^'''^'^ "'r^ ^"/^^ utilization ^f var- <.-ounclI failed to come to an unanimous l*^"* ^T*: ^^f^"^^ ^o'' **»! nianufac- ^ â€" .n 1 i. materials, wall- Much interesting agreemeht as provided for in the Leagtio, but for all time and practi- cally under all conditions. On the other hand, the League had prepared the way for such a treaty and now was vitally necessary for the complet- in got arrangements looking to the "freedom ot the seas," complete dis- armanient, and other matters still un- settled. CAN'AUA BACKS LEAGUE. "It Ecftms superfluous to ask why Canada should sign this treaty," con- tinued Mr. King. Canada has always been, unitedly behind the League in the cause of peace, and its signing only piaced its seal of approval on a Ktate of affairs that had been in ex- Istencjj for over 100 years, as exem- plified by the Rush-Biigot Treaty be- twe»?n Canada and the United States, a treaty that had "never lapsed and I exptKt never will lapse," and had re-| .suited ill an unfortified forder from] voast to coast. Now that the nations! had renounced war as an instrument ! of national policy, he would suggest that thoy settle future disputes through such instruments as the In- ternational Joint Commission, which had settled 21 out of 2-3 problems en- tailing the satisfactory relations be- tween Canada and its southern neigh ture of insulating boards and the like, material as to the hittst stu<lies of the government laboratories along these lines will le available at the Fec'eral governmer.l's exhibit in the Building Show. At one time the Do- minion Council of Research devoted a special period of Desearch to the in- vosiigatirn of heating and insul'il-ion problems and th- results of their stu- dier. are reflected in the work tho la- boratories have done later.

The Municipal Airdromes in British Isles London.â€" Sir Alan Cobham, now is which was an example to the entire world. He conclude<l by declaring that "We should make this treaty our basis for all our foreign policy." OPPOSITION LEADER APPROVES Mr. Bennett began by asking the Prime Minister if there were no reser- vations in the treaty, to which the latter replied in the negative, "so far &i Great Britain and the Dominion are concerned." While it was need- less to say that Canada welcomed t>very step toward lasting peace, con- tined the leader of the opposition, the laere signing of an agreement saying that we abhor and outlaw war was not sufficient. Tho will to peace was necessary to enforce it, and this must be manifested by the lessening of all the armaments and munitions of war, "so that when such appeals are made to the emotions there will be no res- ponse, no cannons, no navy, no troops. ing the extension of aeronautical pro- gress in this country. Sir Alan's pre- liminary object is tho establishment of a thousnn<l municipally owned air- dromes in Great Britain and Ireland. In order to get his project on a prac- tical basis, Sir Alan plans a five months' flight in the Briti&h Isles to interest aerial trade and commerce. Preliminary ground surveys are be- ginning immediately, and the tour for live months for the promotion of avia- tion starts in April. This, according to Sir Alan, will be tlie greatest and most important venture from the viewpoint of civil aviation ever under- taken for the promotion ol! British trade. FREE JOY RIDES. Sir Alan after he hops off in April. plans to visit every municipality and invite its mayor to fly off witli him, personally to impresj him with tlie thought that the treaty should be rati fied, but with two-understandingsâ€" that there should be no reservations, even in the matter of "self-defence," and that Canada should reduce its armajnents immediately. • * â-  Byrd Planes Fly Over Polar Land Just Discovered usual plan is to arrange clumps of annuals to mask perennials that have done their duty, such as African mari- golds or zinnias, to hide delphiniums, the annual flowers coming along after the perennials have been cut down foUowins their first bloom. A fe«' early blooming annuals planted in amongst the tulips will cover t.p the dying foliage of tho latter. These annuals, too, will give color after the first burst of bloom of the perennials i is past and before the later sorts, I such as pilox. have come on. In the new perennial bed, too. annuals will hold the fort the first year while their longer lived fellows are getting es- tablished. Try Somethlnfl New Do not be content with the same flowers aud vegetables year after year. Certain locations and soil will suit certain types of plants, but there is no reason why some of the newer sorts should not lit iu as well as t'jose already proven. In the flower line, besides such well known sorts as Zinnias, marigolds, petunias, aud Plant Sweet Peas Early Sweet I'eus must be planted just a.s soun as one can turn over the ground So thai they may get their iha.ximuui growth before the hot weather sets iu. These will come along safely no matter what sort of weather follows plaatlng. Dig a trench about a toot deep aud place a layer of rich soil or rotted leaves and manure in the bot- tom, covering with about sis Inches of line loam. Plant the sweet peas about three inches deep in this, aud place t!n'm an inch apiirt. Rains will I gradually fill in the trench, aud the I plants will develop a very deep root growtii wl. ich will protect them against summer droughts. To hurry growth apply nitrate ( f soda about an ounce dissolved in a gallon of water. about â-  very two weeks during May and June. These plants must get in their full growth before July, and (iu this account need pushing. Get the very best seed possible and try some of the special shades. When the peas are well up and out of danger from cut worms aud other pests, thin to four inches apart, aud supply brush- work, strings or poultry netting at least a yard high for the vines to climb on. Watch the Lawn The open weather in December and Jauuary was very hard on all lawns, and it will not be surprising if many spots will have to bo re-seeded. To correct this condition, one should go over the lawii hi early Spriug just as soon as the frost Is gone out of the soil with a heavy roller or pound- er. Thicken up bare spots with a heavy coat of new seed, and roll it in. A little nitrate of soda, which is a quickly available plant food, parti- cularly during the cold weather in the Spring, should be sprinkled over the lawu, preferably just before a rain. If no showers foIIow^ it is ad- visable to watar uhis fertilizer iu with a hose to prevent possible burn- ing of the plants. To keep birds from eating the new seed, cover with brush work or uftting, wherever possible.

Tho Foreign Jlinlster will in- form the Chancellor, by request, of the Cabinet decision. It is bellevfd that the actual deci- sion will be made at Moscow, because Angora may hesitatu to permit .Mr. Trotzky to leave Turkey against the wishes of the Soviet authorities, while Germany certainly will think twice before admitting him if in- formed by Moscow that such a step would endanger friendly Germaii- Uussian relations. The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, closely related U) the German Peo- ple's Party, warns Germany against "false sentimeutality." It also warns against the belief that his arrival might imdermiue the German Com- munist Tarty. Those wishing his ad- mittance for this purpose will play with Are. the paper declares. .Air.
