NEWS PARADE ... HATCHET CEREMONY: Tlio Roy- al Visit has accomplished some- iliiiig concrete in Canadian pol- Ulca, If we are to Judge by ibe evidence ot a ibousand eyes at Woodbine Park, the day tbat the King and Queeu were in Toronto Basking In the sun- llsbt of the royal smiles, two less- er hearts were seen to warm to each other ... Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King and Premier Mitchell Hepbiirn, celebrated Liberals, cele- brated enemies, in full view of the public burled their political hatch- et, so it seemed. Beaming, each endeavored to outdo the other in politness, deference. They almost stole the show. Remembering all the nasty words 80 recently said about the Federal Liberal leader by our provincial Jegislative head, we marvel. Are the two really getting loge.ilier once more in the normal way? Or was the display of affection a one- day wonder? Well have to watch Ibe papers to find out. CRISIS IN AUGUST: G. Ward price, representative of London, England's, Daily Mall on the royal tour ot Canada, and himself a for- eign correspondent of note makes predictions concerning the inter- national situation which are as good as the next man's guess. Pro- phesies Mr. Price: "I tee no war in Europe this summer no war over Oanzig at any time 1 look for another crisis about the first of August. At that time I e.xpect the axis powers to make threaten- ing demands against Hungary and Xtumania." Personally, we think Mr. Price is correct. Hitler will either take Danzig unopposed, within the next conpla of weeks i before France, England and Russia have signed their trl-power pact), or he'll have to ahelre his ambitions in that dir- ection, till the harvest is in the barns, at any rate. Then the Frue- her will have another try at pulling one more plum out of the inter- national pie. THAT ELECTION: Nobody's an- nounced there's going to be one this year, buT everybody's getting reniiy for an early federal election. The two old-line parlies. Liberals and Conservatives, are pretty well prepared. The C. C. F. campaign js getting under way, the Now De- xDocracy movement is being latiuch- ed by Mr. Herridge, backed up by the Socreds and the Communists. They're all banking on tbe expec- tation that if tlie Royal Visit is a bowling success, the federal Gov- ernment will wisii to cash in on its present popularity and go to the polls before autumn rolls round. Their Majesties Meet Indian Subjects THE WEEK'S QUESTION: How is great Britain now proposing to nettle the Palestine problem? Ans- wer: The British plan calls for: 1, a permanently Arab-dominated state with a frozen Arab majority of two to one; 2, restricti,5n of Jewish immigration for the next live years to 75,000, bringing the total Jewish population to approx- imately 525,000 (Arab population, 890,000); 3, restrictions on the sale of land to Jews; 4, an independent Palestine with guarantees for the Jewish minority, following a ten- year period of increasing self-gov- ernment. Needless to say, the plan Isn't very popular with world Jewry nor Willi the extremist Arab ele- ment to the Near East. Five Meals Daily Would Be Better Sunrey of Rest Periods For Workers Shows That More Frequent Meals Result In Less Fatigue A recent survey of rest periods for workers conducted by the In- dustrial Acciil.at Prevention As- sociation indicated that if the av- erage person had five meals a day instead ot three he would be less tired at the er ' ot the day and would have accomplished a better day's work. The report said that it was assumed an individual would eat no more food in five meals than he would in three meals. Failing the opportunity to sit down to five meals a day, the re- port recommended a five to 15 minute break in the day's work, preferably in the afternoon rather than In the morning, with an op- iwrttulty to take some light re- freshmeiit. Statistics were ^eoorde(^ showing that most accidents in one large Canadian company occurred be- twecK 10 o'clock in the morning Ud 9<>OD; BJd between 2.39 and 6 (' cTo« in IDC afiernoon. The re- port concluded that both employer and employee benefit from the rest periods.

Chinese Names For Foreigners Their Nicknames For Us Are Sometimes Flattering â€" But More Often They're Not What's in a name? A good deal â€" It your business and home hap- pen to be in China, for there your peculiarities and servants will surely find you out. Nearly all for- eigners in China have a "weihao." or nickname, but tiiese are given from no ill-feeling. Chiefly Descriptive Althoi;gh they are supposed not to know, master or mistress can- not at times avoid overhearing if the houseboy. ever the essence of politeness and deference when In the august presence, calls cheer- fully to the kitchen that "Old Red- face" or "The Large-eared One" has returned and wants tea in a hurry. They may console them- selves by reflecting on the Chin- ese proverb. "A horse without nightfeed will never grow fat; a man without a niciiname will never get rich." Mistress is not forgotten when the nicknames are chosen. If she keeps a keen eye on household ac- counts and tries to prevent "squeeze," she will undoubtedly be dubbed some such thing as "Count- eggs." 'Save-tea,'' or "Scrimp- cofll," unless her personal appear- ance calls for such an appellation as "Fat-legs," "Squint-eye." Niagara Fruit Crop Thriving Bumper Yield Is Seen by Agri- culture Minister Dewan and Assistants On Inspection Hon. P. M.

"No fruits have missed fire this year,'' said Mr. Palmer. "Every kind of fruit tree was loaded with blossom. Prospects far an excellent crop of cherries, pears, peaches, plums and apples are exceedingly bright." o NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER Says Dirigible Best Defence Bomb Designer Suggests Their Use To Guard Coasts The mau who invented. one of the most deadly of modern war weap- ons â€" the aerial bomb â€" believes dir- igibles would servo America best in defence of its shores. John W. Currell, ot Washington. who also designed the tracer bul- let and other military weapons, said last week that dirigibles would be 'of inestimable value" in defence operations. "Eyes" Of Defending Forces from "They would be the eyes and intelligence of our defending forces," he said. Curell pointed to the "enormous cost" of building battleships, and said : "Those who still advocate the construction of battleships cannot give a convincing argument as to what service they will be in de- fence operations."

MILKING THE FARMER Writing an essay on "Cows", a student rises to the heights of wit when he says: "The most import- ant part of a cow is the receptacle in which the milk is stored. This is called the udder. By a clever arrangement it is divided into four compartjncnts each with a' separ- ate tap. By this means the milk is divided at the source so that one part goes to the landlord, one to the mortgage company, one to the government, and one to the farmer." â€" Bowmnnville States- roan. FOR MEN OF GOOD WILL We do not pretend to be an eco- nomist, but we have a foolish idea that no one country can solve the woes of today. It is a world con- dition. Until the world settles down to peace, cuts down the mad armament race, and nations trade again with one another and forget ultra-nationalism, there cannot be a solution of all our difficulties. This does not mean that we should not try to place our own house in order as far as possible. We should. But we should at the same time be prepared to co-oper- ate to the uttermost with other de- mocratic nations in restoring world sanity. â€" London Free Press.

"Let them read a lot of trash it it is exciting," the Yale scholar and critic said last week. "And by .tact and sympathy they can be led to read better books. "Don't try to stuff books down their throats." Discussing adult reading, Phelps condemned "sentimental garbage," but praised detective fiction.

Feeding Governs FowFs Progress Within Four or Five Weeks of Killing Time Start the Fat- tening Process In preparing poultry to weigh, when dressed, 3^4 to 4'/^ lbs., the birds should have normal treat- ment up to within four or five weeks to kUling time, that is to say, a well balanced starter ration fololwed by scratch grain and a suitable growing ration. At the per- iod referred to, the cockerels which are Intended for market should be placed on a limited range so as to restrict their activity, shade and marketing weight is reached they proper roosting accommodation be- ing provided. From this time until should be soft fed using skim milk or buttermilk as a miser. Such a feeding, three times a day, should permit of satisfactory growth »-ith a greater proportion ot fat being laid down than under ordinary rear- ing treatment. Since white flesh- ing will be desired the limited range should not have green growth on it and feeds which pro- duce yellow fat such as yellow corn should not be fed or if fed should be given only in small Quan- tities. Since corn is the moat sat- isfactory grain for fattening pur- poses, it should make up a por- tion of the fattening mash, ground white rather than yellow corn being used. Buckwheat and wheat are the next most satisfactory grains with oats and barley being somewhat Inferior and ot similar efficiency. A combination of any ot the above grains on the basis of their comparative value and ot availability and cost should form the basis for a satisfactory ration. During the last two weeks ot fat- tening, five per cent of melted mut- ton or beef fat should be added to the mi.vture. This is accomplish- ed by melting the fat and mixing quickly with the mash while hot so as to avoid large lumps. Safe Driving Harder Today Perfect Driver Since 1923 Says Danger on the Road Grows Even With Improvements In Cars' Mechanisms It is harder to drive safely to- dayâ€"even with all the mechanical impi-ovcments and hard-surfaced roads â€" than it was five or 10 years ago, believes H. B. Hawkins, of Cleveland, O., who has driven bus- ses more than 1,000,000 miles in 16 years without an accident. "There are too many 'smart alec' drivers on the roads today," he said, "They give the more exper* ienced drivers the jitters." "I'm proud of my no-accident record,' said Hawkins, who has "rolled" a bus through every state in the Union and in Canada and Mexico since first getting behind the wheel ot a common carrier in 1921.
