He may be very interest.- Sir Edward Beatty has resigned .1- r)-eMent of the Canadian Pac- ific Railway and is succeeded by D. C. Coleman, vice-president of the company. Sir Edward remains chairman of the board. The change in presidency is effective immed- iately. The official announcement said: "At a meeting of the board of directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company held May 1. Sir Edward Beatty, chairman and president, tendered his resigna- tion because of the state of his health. Taken III In March "Sir Edward was stricken with illness in March, 1941, brought about largely by over-exertion and too close application to his multi- farious duties and activities. There has been a marked im- provement in recent months, and that improvement. happily, Is being maintained: but his doctors have advised him that early and complete recovery can be reach- ed only if he divests himself of some of his burdens and responsi- bilities. The directors received his docUiou with deep regret, but agreed that be should not be ex- pected to prejudice his chance of recovery. At their request he will continue to act as chairman of the company, and thus be available for counsel al all times. "The- directors placed on record their appreciation of the out- standing work Sir Edward per- formed as president during the past 24 years. He brought to the service of the company and its shareholders a rare combination of Photo Public Information Vlaus for a salvage campaign to retrieve tens of thousands of tons of scrap metal from Canadian farms ate presented to Hon.

Maxwell, company official*, look on. gifts and qualities, which enabled him to inspire the whole organ- ization with his own zeal and hi* own devotion to the interests of tha property. He was responsible for many Improvements In facil- ities and service; for the rebuild* ing of the company's mercantile fleet on a scale which made It a source of pride to all Canad- ians; and he enhanced and en- larged the position of the com- pany in the confidence and re- gard of the people it serves throughout the world. His admin- istration will be memorable in the history of the company. "Mr. D'Alton C. Coleman was elected president of the company. Mr. Coleman joined the company in 1S99, and after serving it in various parts of the country a* an officer, was elected a director and vice-president in 1934. He is the fifth to hold the office of president since the formation of the company in 1S91, and like his immediate predecessor was born and educated in Canada." Took Post In 1918 Sir Edward graduated to the presidency of the company from the law department in 19 IS when he was a week under 41. During his tenure in off'ce the railway expanded to become known as the world's greatest privately-o w n e d transportation system. Under him Canadian Pac- ific developed railway, shipping, telegraph and hotel services with expenditures of many millions of dollars. \Vlieti Lord Shaughnessy retired from the presidency he offered the post to Sir Edward, who at first refused. Shuuglmessy is re- ported to have exclaimed: "My God, lleatty. do you want to be a mere lawyer all your life?" Sir Edward was an exponent of a unification program for the Can- adian Pacific and Canadian Na- tional Railways. He wanted the unification to be under private op- eration. The Government decided for co-operation but with each company maintaining its own management. Sir Edward was lioru at Thorold, Ont., in 1S77, sou of Henry Beatty, Irish founder of the Beatty Steam- ship Lines operating on the Great Lakes. He was educated at Toronto. He went to Harbord Collegiate Insti- tute. Upper Canada College, Tor- onto University and rinally Os- goode Hall. Later McGilf Uni- versity and Queen's honored him with chancellorship^.

"Have a cigarette," asked the girl, opening her cue. "What! Smoke in public!" ex- claimed the woman, shocked to depths. "Why I'd sooner kiss the first man who came down the street." "So would I," retorted the girl. "But have a cigarette while you are waiting." A young fellow had just been introduced to a very deaf old man. "I beg your pardon," said the old man. "I didn't quit* catch your name." "Rutt . . . Rutt," bellowed the young man . . R-U-T-T.' "Eh, no," answered th old man. "1 take a drop oc- casionally." There was an earthquake in a South American town which badly scared the inhabitants. An English family who lived there sent their little ion to stay with an uncle in another district for safety** sake. Two days later th parents received the following telegram: "Am returning your boy. Send the earthquake." "I wish you'd stop talking about golf." "Golf! I haven't said a word about golf." "You said something about a hole in one. I heard you!" "I was talking about my only pair of clean locks." A reporter was interviewing the oldest inhabitant of the vil- lage, who had completed his cen- tury. "Have you ever been mar- ried?" asked the reporter. "Harried:" exclaimed the old man. "Married! I should think I have. Four wives I've had. What's more, one of them was a good un '." "It says here in the paper that in Egypt women carry baskets of fruit and flowert on their heads." "That's nothing so remark- able. Women do that over here and call them hats."

As the oxygen in the bag la used up. the exhaled carbon dioxide gas ac- cumulates, so that in a few min- utes there is enough, to produce a curative eifect. If the patleut begins 10 hiccuf again, the treatments should b* repeated. In one case in which this method was used, the patient. a girl of 22, who began to Ir.ccup while convalescing from inflenza. was relieved six minutes after she had been hiccuptng continuously for 44 hours. After seven hours. the spasms again began; the bag treatment was again effective, this time permanently. What Science Is Doing TO CURE "HICCUPS" The case of a man who olccuped himself to death was reported re- cently. The hiccups lasted 28 days and nights; he could neither sleep nor eat. and finally died of exhaustion. The average case of hiccups lasts only from a few minutes to a few hours, but it can be a tantalizing complaint, resist- ing many kinds of treatment. Hiccups ire apparently due to a spasm of the diaphragm, th broad, thin muscle that separatee the abdominal cavity from the chest cavity, says Science Digest. Scaring the patient Is about the most useless of the many "reme- dies." Other supposed cures in- clude drinking water slowly, hold- ing one's breath, counting num- bers, pressing the upper lip, elec- tric shoes to the skin, and so forth. The following is a reliable meth- od of treatment that has been used successfully in several cases. It ia based on the 1'act that carbon di- oxide gas thd gas that is used in soda water and that we exhale from the lungs can stimulate the res;iiri:tory nerve centre. The only apparatus needed is an ordinary paper bag.. The bag is General MacArthur' Flight From Bataan "The inside story of way Gen- eral MacArthur was pulled out of the Philippines can now be told," commeuts Newsweek.

However, it wa feasible to run the Japanese block- ade only from the Netherlands In- dies. \\".i.-n Japanese successes late in February made it apparent that the United Nations could not hold Java much longer, it was decided to order MacArthur to Australia.''
