Ice Packs For Horses WINNIPEG.â€" Manitoba farmers this week were instructed' to place ice- packs on horses' heads and put ani- ' mals in a dark place whenever they nhow signs of drowsiness, first symp- toms of encephalomyelitis, the strange horse sickness which has killed hun- dreds of animals In the province. Lack of serum and little hope of securing auantities from the United States Northwest, where the disease is also prevalent, has prompted Hon. D. L. Campbell, Manitoba Minister of Agriculture, to prepare a circular out- lining household remedies to save horses from the worst epidemic ot equine sickness the province has ever known. Bavaria, uncle ot the bride, were among the dozens of Royal guests. Two Killed In Ontario Storm Sweeping across Southern Ontario •nis v.'eek-€nd, an electrical storm ot cyclonic proportions left death and destruction in its wake and caused property damage that totalled well in- to the thousands of dollars. Two men, William Breen. North Ox- ford farmer, and George Rennie, stee- plejack working at Sarnia, were both almost Instantly killed during the short time the storm raged. Brecn was electrocuted by a broken Hydro wire while Rennie. a Toronto man. was struck by lightning while w^orking on a 200-foot high smokestack. Wind and lightning were about equally responsible for the damage Tett in the wide path of the .storm. At Carleton Place, near Ottawa, the gale (ore the roof from a hotel and tossed it into the street. In the same district many cars were damaged by falling trees. Ton casualties were reported from strrci centres, including four golfers â- ft'ho v.-cre stunned while playina; near A^-n-VviPiv Rsr-ugees Land In Earthquake ?.;.\X1LA, P.[. â€" A series ot three t^iolont ([uakes. following each other in rapid succession, shook Manila this weok-eu'!.

JiiUUS.VLEM. â€" Iraq was without a C.ibiiKt this week and its army was repurtod seethin.^ with divided loyal- ties due to the crisis caused by the assassination of Sekir Sidki Pasha, chief ot the general staff. Pronii.M- Ilikmet Suleiman's Cabinet resigned last v.oek and former Prem- ier Jr.nuil Madfai was commissioned to form a new Government. Mautai declared in an interview at Baghdad, the capital, that the Inter- nal situation was quiet deijpite rumors to the contrary. It was reliably understood that the now Premier planned to revert to the Government policy prior to the coup d'etat which placed Suleiman In pow- er last October, turning out all those who came into efSce after the coup with the exception of army and other defence unit heads.

Prince Pierre pretends to the non- existent throne ot Brazil. Jlichael, Cardinal Faulhaber, Arch- bishop of Munich, performed the cere- mony. Hardly any commoners were on hand and the press, conforming to Nazi policy In matters dealing with royalty, scarcely mentioned the cere- mony. Former King Altonso ot Spain and termer Crown Prince Rupprecht ot â-  . r«« â-  - Hit by Cholera Epidenoic HONG KONG.â€" The British colony was gripped by a cholera epidemic this week-end. The disease haa spread through the island. Scores ot new cases have been reported dally with 80 per cent, of them ending In death. Because of the Sino-Japanese war raging at Shanghai, authorities were unable to obtain fresh supplies of anti-cholera vaccine there. China National Airways Corporation planes transported 600 pounds of the serum to Hong Kong before the out- break of the Shanghai fighting a week ago. Special appeals were made to other Par Eastern ports to rush more vac- cine by air. Japs Spurn British Plans TOKIO. â€" Japan this week-end in- formed Great Britain it could not en- trust Us Shanghai Interests to toreign protection, as proposed by the British Government In Its plan to restore peace in Shanghai. Japan demanded instead, convoca- tion of the powers which helped con- clude the 1932 truce terminating the Sino-Japanese hostilities in Shanghai of that year. This assembly of na- tions, according to the Japanese pro- posal, would persuade China to abide by its obligations under the 1932 truce and withdraw its troops from Shang- hai. The Japanese stand was communi- cated here to the British charge d'affaires, J. L. Dodds, by Foreign Vice-Minister Kensuke Horinuchi.

Sicily. â€" Premier Mussolini told the Italian army high command gathered here this week that the Sicilian manoeuvres proved that no Mediterranean or other foreign power could disembark troops in Sic- ily, large island at the toe ot the Italian "boot." Mussolini said the war games demonstrated that so-called "static warfare" was out ot the ques- tion for an army trying to Invade Italy. He said Italy had developed her own doctrine ot "war of move- ment." Farming Course , SASKATOON.â€" A two-year farmers' course has been announced by the University of Saskatchewan aimed to produce successful farmers and rural leaders. Prof. J. W. G. MacEwan said pupils must be over 15 years of age, have public school education and one season's experience on a farm. Puts Ban on Noise MONTREAL.â€" Montreal City Coun- cil, at a noisy protracted meeting, this week adopted an anti-noise by-law to become effective after ratification by the Legislative Assembly at Quebec. Aid. Dave Rochon, nevertheless, thinks some noise will continue. His suggestion peddlers and fruit mer- chants be forbidden to shout in public places was not accepted. Loses Only Industrial Plant CHATHAM.â€" Chatham's only indus- trial plant, the Maramichi Foundry and Machine Works, was destroyed by fire this week with loss estimated at J.50.000. The plant, employing about 25 men, was owned by F, M. Tweedie, M.L..A. for Northumberland. Lady Tweedsmuir's Air Trip INTATA LAKK. B.C. â€" Lady Tweedsmuir made her first airplane flight aboard a Royal Canadian Air Force seaplane on the return from a fishing trip on which neither she nor the Governor-General caught any fish. She boarded the plane piloted by Squadron-Leader Earl McLeod for a 10-mile flight back to camp from Nat- alkuz Lake at the eastern end of In- tata River. Lady Tweedsmuir said later she did not like flying but Squadron-Leader McLeod declared Her E.xcellency would have become accustomed to it had the flight been longer. The air was bumpy in spots. Lady Tweeds- muir was affected also by the ''feel- ing ot being in suspension." While Their Excellencies had no luck with the fish, Alastalr Buchanan, their son, Mrs. George Tape, lady-in- waiting, and the two aides, Lieut. Q. Rivers-Smith and Capt. Patrick Camp- bell Preston pullPd in six good-sized trout.

The four 'Western Prov- inces signed agreements some time ago. As announced here this week-end by Labor Minister Rogers, the scheme calls tor an expenditure of $500,000, split fifty-fifty between the Dominion and the Province. Work will be pro- vided tor 5,000 young men and women between the ages of IS and 30. The program calls for six projects â€" forest conservation work, technical training in mining, agricultural train- ing, industrial apprenticeship, schools for training household workers, and technical training in urban centres. The Province will select the youths tor training, but the agreement stipu- lated they must be unemployed and there must be no discrimination in relation to social origin, religious views or political affiliations. Pro- vision was made tor vocational guid- ance by qualified officers before en- tering on a course of training and subsequent employment would be In accordance with the individual's ap- titude. Health Instruction Living allowances may be paid in cases where the youths attend courses away from their homes. When poss- ible, instruction will be given in phy- sical education and health. Provision will be made on placements in em- ployment on completion of the train- ing. Special machinery will be set up tor this purpose. The agreement, which remains In force until March 31, 1938, calls for fifty-fifty expenditure by the two Gov- ernments, with Ontario paying admin- istration costs. Among the projects which have been approved after examination by the National Employment Commission are: 1. Forest conservation work to pro- vide a practical course in forestry on the Provincial forest reserves for ap- proximately 350 young men. with class instruction in related subjects. 2. Technical training in mining to be given in tho Technical Schools of Northern Ontario to a selected group ot fifty designed to fit them for posi- tions in the mining industry. Instruc- tion will be given in mine surveying, drafting, assaying, mineralogy and other subjects for a period of about six months. Plan Farm Placement 3. Rural training, providing practi- cal courses in subjects related to agri- culture for young men. These courses will be established in various parts of the Province under the direction of the Provincial Department of .Vgri- culture. There will also be courses for rural young women in homecraft, household economics and other suit- able subjects. Through the Provincial Agricultural Representatives provision is being made to give .")00 young men training in farm work by placing litem with carefully selected farmers throughout the Province who agree to furnish adequate training and instruc- tion In farming. This Is not only a farm placement plan but is designed to train young men to follow agricul- tural pursuits. 4. Industrial apprenticeship and learncrship, to help train young men or women in skilled or semi-skilled employment by paying the cost ot their instruction either in special classes in technical schools or in per- iods of instruction in the shop or fac- tory. This cost may include (1) the actual cost ot the tuition given: (2) travelling expenses for those who have to attend classes away from their home; (3) payment to the young people ot an allowance in lieu of wages while attending classes or un- dergoing instruction on tlie job or in the shop or factory. In the case ot learners at least 60 per cent, ot the combined wage and instruction allow- ance must be paid by the employer. This project will be promoted by a staff ot specially appointed and quali- fied officers to canvass employers o£ the Province, and is under the direc- tion of the Provincial Department ot Labor. Will Assist Women 5. Women's specialized training, schools for training household work- ers win be established in some of the larger cities of the Province with a qualified staff in charge and unde't the supervision of an honorary com- mittee of women representing local organizations. The schools may be operated on a residential basis, and will provide a three months' course with a placement and follow-up ser- vice. Provision Is also made for train- ing in other forms of specialized ser- vices suitable tor women. 6. Urban technical occupational training. To provide courses of prac- tical training in the technical schools and elsewhere to help young people fit themselves for employment opportun- ities in the area. Some of these courses will be used in connection with the apprenticeship and learner- ship project.

All groups of youth will be taken into consideration and absorption made Into as many branches of industry as possible. Ontario hopes to receive $240,000 ot the total allotment, and an agreement will probably be drawn up to that effect and submitted to both govern- ments for ratification. Much prepara- tory work is already going on in On- tario. Government employment offi- ces are being asked to keep a list ot all unemployed young people and maintain close touch with the situa- tion in each locality. Will Stay Out of Politict It is inevitable that reports will never cease to be current during the rest ot his natural life that the Duke of Windsor Is about to return to Eng- land and enter politics. Already rum- ors are circulating that the ex-Klng is going back to England inside of the next six months to become Prime Minister. Londoners say that It is only in the United States that such ideas are given credence. In England, they declare, there is no apparent body of opinion that would lift a finger to fac- ilitate a political career for the for- mer king, and it is more probable that public opinion would strongly resist, on impersonal grounds, any attempt of a member of the Royal family to enlarge his influence with the public. An authoritativee London source says there Is not a scrap of evidence to indicate that any substantial num- ber ot Englishmen regret their de- cision ot December. They would make it again and in like circumstances with equal emphasis. Vanish In Arctic A four-motored Russian plane pil- oted by the famed Sigismund Levan- evsky and bound to the United States from Moscow, is long overdue at the Fairbanks, Alaska, landing field. It was the third Russian flight over the North Pole in the past two months. A Russian plane flew from Moscow and landed at Vancouver, Wash., June 20, and another flew from Mos- cow to San Jacinto, Cal., on July 14 after a fi. 700-mile trip. Both flights were non-stop. While the search goes on for the missing flyers, theories accounting for the disappearance of the plane piloted by Levanevsky hold that he may have run out ot gasoline and come down in the tundra, or that he may have crashed in a 100-milo-an-hour gale. Only the Arctic wastes know the sec- ret of what happened to the plane. Meanwhile the Soviet Government Is going ahead with plans for further ex- perimental flights ove' the Pole. Clash With Aberhart The Dimiiuiou-Alberta impasse over the banking laws enacted at the re- cent special session at Edmonton was dramatically terminated this week when Premier Mackenzie King an- nounced that the three objectionable statutes had been disallowed. In a wire to Premier Aberhart, the head of the Dominion Government says In part : "If It is felt that changes should be made in the banking or currency laws ot the Dominion It is open to any citi- zens of the Dominion residing in Al- berta, or in any other province, to seek to have those changes made by the only body which has the due auth- ority. The issue in the present In- :-tance is that a direct attempt is be- ing made to infringe upon a field ot jurisdiction universally recognized as falling to the Dominion, and to butt- ress this action by denying any ques- tioning of the constitutionality of this section in the courts." It is thirteen years since the power ot disallowance has been exercised by the Dominion. The Federal Govern- ment claims that by passing the three pieces of legislation (licensing bank- ers, introducing measures to control banking, closing the courts to actions testing Alberta statutes), the Province ot Alberta has over-stepped its pow- ers. The fight is on. Sino-Japanese War A conflagration that appeared to have died down somewhat last week has flared up again with the Japanese attack on Shanghai, and the Chino- Jap disagreement has been brought within the category of a major con- flict, a deadly war ot the first class. The greatest aerial bombing.s the Orient has ever known, are going on. Sections of Shanghai have been des- troyed by incendiary flames, ships be- longing to both belligerents sunk, and innocept bystanders done to death. Hundreds ot soldiers on both sides have been killed. The war in China is looked on with great disfavor by the Japanese at home who are already overburdened with taxes, yet a mob- ilization ot all resources of that coun- try has been proclaimed, and Japanese troops by the thousands continue to pour into Chinese war zones. The Chinese meantime are stemming the Jap advance and using blockades to keep enemy ships from penetrating in- land. Reprisals on whites are feared and the foreign population of Shang- hai are right in believing themselves to be iu grave danRi^r. It is expected that in order to spare the city. Groat Britain may propose that she, the United States and Franco assume re- sponsibility for safeguarding Chinese and Japanese interests there. pie is the No. 1 pie with the nation. Peach pie is second he enumerated, tucking the crust into a pie pan. The fruit pies rank high in the United Slates, but recently the cream pie has laken on popularity by leaps and bounds and in tho near future, he thinks, moat pics will bo extremely popular. Strause. whose home is In Holly- wood gave a pie-baking demonstration last night before the International Stewards' and Caterers' .Association Convention. Philadelphia, said Strauso. is the na- tion's leading community ot pie-eaters. â- 'Your rate per customer is the highest in the country." He said he had been studying the Philadelphia pie situation for years and be is thinking of naming his next pie for the home of scrapple and pep- per pot soup. Peter G. Economou, of Buffalo, N.Y., told the delegates it's colour that whets your appetite. ''The average di- ner-out will choose the dish with the fancy colours every time."

Canadians Are Beef-Minded Parley Is Told Rcast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding Is Dominion's Favorite Dish, Says Torontonian PHILADELPH.IA. â€" Delegates to the luternaiional Stewards' and Cat- erers' As.-Doiuiion convention diligent- ly compared notes this week and unan- imously agreed that, generally sl)oak- ing. all people like to eat. But wh.-u it comes to the choice of good food Mn<l care ot the customers, a sectional diversion ot opinicui apeared. Up in Canada now. people toy with a salad, but they really want some- thing substantial, said C. W. Hitch- cock of Toronto. There is nothing a Canadian customer likes better than a good roast beef and Yorkshire pud- ding. Take a rhihulclphian now. You can- not give him meat with a lot ot ribs in it. or tish with a lot of bones. That, according to F. L. D. Scely. German- town delegate, is because Philadelphia diner-outers are "lazy. " J. C. Ross, who hails from Los An- geles, says that if a Californlan can't have his salad he gets morose and re- fuses to eat his spinach and drink his milk. Will Wire Governor Evs^y Cow Casatilty DELANO. Flaâ€" Governor Fred Cone will be notified by telegraph every time a cow is involve! in a Volusia County higivvvay accident. Tho Deland Junior Chamber of Commerce joined in unsuccessful ef- forts to pass laws at the recent lc2;is- lative session to bar cattle from Flor- ida's roads. Just to keep the matter before the governor, the chamber's board of di- rectors voted to wire him the bad news every time a cow is bumped on the county's roads.
