Flyston, of England, feels that at almost SCO miles an hour he virtually has reached the ceiling of land speed. His chief rival, John Cobb; also of London, holds however that there is no limit to the rate of motion man can attain on the ground. Fy.ston last month was officially timed at 347.16 miles an hour as he rocketed his Thunderbolt auto- mobile through the measured mile on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. "I've figured it out scientifical- ly," said Eyston, "and I don't think a land speed of much more than 360 miles an hour is possi- ble. "Racing tires to hold up at greater speeds can't be built. \t 360 the outside of tht tire is trav- elling at the speed of sound, about 700 miles an hour. If they were- n't completely shielded, the wind alone would rip them wide open. "Wouldn't Live to Tell It' "After you pass 300, the graph of danger rises almost vertically, and the graph of car and engine performance drops rapidly. Man won't go much faster th.in 360 on land and live to tell about it." In the picture, Captain Eyston (Centre) is shown as he climbed from his racing monster after making the 317-mile record. SICK MAN NO MOREâ€" No long- er cm Turkey be called "the sick man of Eui-ope." Under the prod- ding of Dictator ICemal Ataturk, tht piitient has taken up his bed and iicguu to walk. Turkey is now a modern, efficiently-run state, with a string of defensive alliances and ^non-aggression pacts e.xtending from mid-Asia to mid-Europe. It has suddenly become a key nation who.^e recovery from ''sickness" la a matter of vital interest to all the other nations of Europe. In pre-war days, Turkey was tied vith Imperial Germany â€" today, things are the other way about. It anything, Turkey is on the side of the dtmocracios, becoming increas- ingly cordial with Great Britain and France (Britain recently lent Turkey money for rearmament). She has a friendly alliance with So- viet Kussia, strategically important. Hut here's the main point for the present: as a potential leader of the .states of the Balkan Entente (Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania and Turkey) and Bulgaria, Turkey can swing that corner of Europe into line against the Rome-Berlin axis, can block German expansion down the Danube towards the near-East. FUTILE EXPEDITIONâ€" Sailing last week to Europe went six Cana- dians, delegates to the League of Nations September session in Ge- neva. Led by Right Hon. Ernest Lapointe, they set their faces to- wards the East and the inferno of European politics, with little hope Id their hearts. For the League can never expect to act as a powerful force in the world again, illl all the nations get behind U and push whole-heartedly, for peace. MOTIVE UNKNOWN A Ger- man iillot taken prisoni'r la.U wuek by the Loyalist army In Spain re- veals tliat Germany has been plan- ning to withdraw all her airmen and air technicians from Spain be- fore the first of October. This story, if true, raises a dozen questions. Does Hitler believe that Franco's cause is doomed? Is It a case of rats leaving a sinking ship? Or Is Hitler leaving Musso- lini to carry on, double-strength. In Spain? Perhaps the airmen are to be used elsewhere, on some more important front? END OF HARVESTâ€" The farm- ers of Ontario, breathing a collec- tive sigh of relief at the satisfac- tory size of the crops, have garner- ed In all their grain â€" what the grasshoppers, the army worms, rust and hall storms didn't get. Barns are pleasingly plump with the harvest, and now for thresh- ing! Here's where the womenfolk on Ontario's farms don't get a break. Prom dawn to dark it's nothing but cooking, serving meals, washing up for a gang of hungry (oh boy!) workers. Some farm housewives have to bake as many as a dozen pies a day during the busy season. And all of them have to be like ''mother used to make," or else. Won't they be glad to see sum- mer end, and the ''season of mists and mellow fniitfulness" (Koata) begin! THE WEEK'S QUESTIONâ€" How many young people in Canada, of employable ago, have never had work? Answer â€" 70,000 of them, hetween the ages of IG and 29. Western Cattle Markets Bright CALGAltY. â€" I'roipccts for marketing western cattle in East- ern Canada and the United States this fall rarely looked brighter, .lack Hyers, manager of the West- ern Stock Growers' Association, stated on his return from an ex- tensive tour of Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States. "Feed prospects in Ontario and the Maritimes are excellent," said Mr. Uyers, "and there is already a big demand for western cattle. The outlook is very good and east- ern buyers arc already on their way west." Must Not Hide A Mental Case Doctor Decries Trend In Some Families To Feel Ashamed Of IV<er.ta:iy III Person In The Home Beat se the average family is re- luctant to reveal the presence of mental diseases among its mem- bers, Michigan's problems and its expenses in haudling these cases in state hospitals as well as in pris- ons has increased, according to Dr. I. N. La Victoire, psychiatrist at the Michigan Reformatory. A mistaken feeling of shame has developed through the ages about mental disorders. Dr. Victoire said. Most families seelt to shelter rela- tives who develop mental diseases instead of seeking prompt aid for them at public and private institu- tions. The result, he said, is that such persons become worse in the same manner that persons physic- ally ill who are not given treat- ment become worsq. Makes Cure More Difficult This, Dr. La Victoire believes, leads to more cases of violent dis- orders and insanity and prevents the recovery of many who might bo cured. It also increases the state's cost for treatment of the in- dividuals when they have to be publicly institutionalized. Maladjustment produces many mental disorders and many cases can be cured it reached in the ear- ly stages. Dr. La Victoire said. He urged that the aid of experts be sought in treating mental cases in the same way that strictly physical illnesses are recognized and the aid of a doctor sought. One Plant Bears 41 Big Tomatoes R. B. Goodwin, of Waterford, Ont., is assured he had in his gar- den the paramount tomato crop in the district. His are of the standard variety, and on one plant alone were counted 41 large, smooth tomatoes. The entire crop yields of this average and presents a picture of rarity. The British Medical Association has just voted recognition to chi- ropodists. VOICE OF THE PRESS CANADA SOLEMN THOUGHT The motor-car has almost done away with the horse, but not with the ass. â€" Montreal Star. A DESERTED VILLAGE? Toronto is trying to solve its traffic problems. One way of course would be to bar from the streets all cars not fully paid for. â€" Peterborough ' Examiner. CRUMB OF COMFORT Another new mental hospital is being constructed at St. Thomas, the fourteenth in Ontario. No one need fear that he cannot be ac- commodated. There will be room for all of us â€" Hamilton Spectator. THEORY AND PRACTICE If there ever was anything that appeared to promote our sense of humor more than a baldheaded barber recommending to his pat- rons a tonic in his shop as a sure restorer of hair, it was a speaker to rural audiences who had left the old homestead and is now en- joying a salary of $5,000 to $0,000 a year, advising boys to be sure not to leave the old farm. â€" Ches- ley Enterprise. LEARN TO SWIM Around two hundred boys and girls have learned to swim under the auspices of the Lions Club and that is a great achievement. It is something that never will be for- gotten and, in the future may make the difference between life and death for themselves and oth- ers. Everyone ought to be able to swim and children should be encouraged to become proficient in the art. â€" Niagara Falls Review. THE SMALL TOWN Roger Babson, statistician and publicist, hit the headlines recent- ly by advising university gradu- ates not to get married hastily but to get a job in a small town and to put their savings into a small farm. The Financial Post commenting agrees that the small town has always been h good place to live. "Today, any disadvantages it may have had as to distance and isolation have disappeared. LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher "You've never teen it before? Maybe it's • gueit star?" Womu Ravage Ontario Tomato Cropt Tomato worms, four inches or more long and as thick as a man's index finger, are playing havoc with the tomato crops of farmers ia certain areas of Ontario. The worms, one of which is shown ABOVE, do not attack the tomato itself, but strip the plant of young flower* and leaves. Traditional qualities of friendli- ness, freedom and fresh air have been enhanced by most of the amenities of 'city' life." Those of us living in small towns and sometimes looking long- ingly toward the glitter of the big city should realize that after all the big city romance of living is where your friends are neighbors and your neighbors all friends. Only the small towns give that. â€" Swift Current (Sask.) Sun. The EMPIRE SAD BUT TRUE The present generation is cin- ema-minded and radio-minded. He would be a rash man, however, who would say it would be imma- terial to national interests if these forces were so potent as to colour and influence the public mind to the detriment of logical thinking. We rather fear that an adorable film star in a questionable cause would carry a public election at the expense of an ordinary and less attractive mortal, irx-espective of the spotlessness of the latter's banner. Such would represent the dethronement of reason. â€" Belfast Telegraph. Would Build Up Big Food Reserve Vast Storage Plan for Great Britain Is Submitted by Pro- fessor Keynes â€" Scheme of Warehouses Full of Canad- ian Foodstuffs The plan submitted by Professor John Maynard Keynes to the Brit- ish Association for the .-Vdvance- ment of Science calling for stor- ing in the United Kingdom vast quantities of Canadian wheat and other surplus empire foodstuffs and raw materials was generally approved last week in the press, though there were a few dissent- ing notes. Profe.ij.sor Keynes' paper esti- THE WONDERLAND OF OZ I'ncie Ilejiry and Aiml Km .start- ed out alone to explore the grounds. They couldn't get lost because the palace grounds wore enclosed by a high way of green marble set with emeralds. It was a rare treat to these simplo (oiks, who had liv- ed In the country all their lives â- nd known little enjoyment of any sort, to wear beautiful clothes and tlva In a palace and be treated with regpeet and consideration by every- 0B«. They were very happy, indeed, as they looked at the gorgeous flow- era and shrubs, feeling that their new liome was more beautiful than any tongue could describe. Sud- denly, as they turned a corner and walked through a gap In a high hedge, they came face to face with an enormous lion which crouched upon the lawn and seemed surpris- ed by their appearance. They stop- ped short. Unci* Henry trembled with horror and Aunt Em was too terrlfled to scream. The next moment the iwor wo- man clasped her husband around the neck crying â€" "Save me, Henry, save me!" "Can't even save my- self, Em," he returned In a husky voice. "The animal looks >a» though It could oat both of us and lick his chops for more. If I only had a gun." "Haven't you. Henry? Haven't yon?" she asked, anxious- ly. ''Nary a gun. Km. I knew our luck wouldn't last." 'I won't die! I won't be eaten by n lion!" wailed Auat Em. glaring st the huge beast. Then a thought struck her and .she whispered: "Henry some sav- age beasts can be conquered by the human eye. I'll eye that lion and save our lives." "Try It. Rm." ha returned, also In a whisper. 'Look at him as you do at me sonietinvea." Aunt Rm ti:rned upon the lion a wild dilated eye. She glared at the immense beast steadily and the lion, who has been blinking at them quietly, began to appp.ir uneasy and disturbed. "Is anything the matter, ma'am?" he asked lu a mild voice. mated the Unite_d Kingdom could store £500,000,000 worth of goods at an annual cost of £20,000,000. He mentioned specifically Cana- dian wheat, British West Indies sugar, Indian" Jute, Australian wool. West African vegetable oils and various metals. "Better Than Gold Mine" Professor Keynes, food storage adviser to the government, said such reserves in war "would ba better than a gold mine." The News Chronicle, Liberal, considered the plan had undoubt- ed advantages but expressed the opinion it was by no means cer- tain it would prevent ups and downs of prices. "The (Keynes) paper should stimulate the government to deal with this question on a much largp- er scale than it has done up to the present," the News Chronicle added.
