Then a wild search for some small article is avoided when we arrive at our des- tination, Grape juice is good for an invalid. Put two tablespoonfuls grape juice in a wine glass with a little shaved ice, add the white of one egg which has been beaten to a stiff froth. If the juice is too tart add a little sugar, Save the liquor in which aspara- 8us was cooked and to two cups add one cup of milk, four tea- spoonfuls of flour, stirred smooth in cold water, one teaspoonful of butter, and a seasoning of sait and pepper, Just before serving stir in a cup of sweet cream and the cooked asparagus tips cut in small pieces, Where woodwork has to be painted, white paint is usually het- ter than brown, Brown darkens the rooms. Many people are afraid of white paint on account of the work it entails, but if a broken white or cream shade is used and given a good enamel finish it re- sists the dirt quite well. When it is dirty it is very easily cleaned with any of the patent cleaners, A pen which seems ahsolytely useless will continue to give ex- cellent service if you hold it over a flame (the gas will do )about a quarter of a second, then dip it into water.

THE OLD WOMAN OF THE ROADS Oh, to have a little house, and all, (| The heaped up sods upon the fire, '| The pile of turf against the wall. To have a clock with weights and chains, And pendulum swinging up and A dresser, filled with shining Delf resser, ed wi shinin, elit, Speckled and white and oe and brown. I could be busy all the day, Clearing and sweeping hearth and oor, And fixing on its shelf again My blue and white and speckled store, I could be quiet there at might, Close by the fire and by myself Sure of a bed and loath to leave The ticking clock and shining Delft. Oh, T am weary of mist and dark, And roads where there's never house or bush, And tired I am of bog and road, And the crying wind and the lone- some hush. And I am praying to God on high, And L am praying Him night and ay, For a little house, a house of me own; Out of the wind's and rain's way. ~--Padraic Colum.

EE FORMER EMPLOYEE LIPTON FIRM TAKES ACTION FOR PENSION (By Canadian Press) London, July 13.--The relations which existed between Sir Thomas Lipton and his old employee were considered in. an action before Just- ice McCardie, when Michael Storrie claimed a declaration that the firm of Lipton Limited were under a bind- ing obligation to pay him a pension of $25 weekly. Counsel said Mr. Stor- rie was 66 years of age, and had been employed by Liptons for 41 years, starting as a bacon curer, when Sir Thomas Lipton was the owner of the business, and finishing as manager of the bacon factory at $3150 a year. Sir Thomas had prom- ised him a pension when he left, and in January, 1926, when he received a month's notice to leave the em- ployment in consequence of chang then being made, a small pension was granted to him, but on the in- tervention of Sir Thomas, this was stabilized at $25 a week. C. P. Tomlin, managing director of Lipton Ltd, since August 1924, said that when Sir Thomas Lipton retired it was necessary to effect economies and reduce the staff, some of whom were receiving more than they were worth. The pensions were reviewed, and several claims had been settled. His Lordship: "The thought Sir Thomas had gone too far in promising pensions?" Counsel: "Yes, in this case. The defendants were legally advised that they were not bound to pay." His lordship said the question of pensions was a serious one, and in this case touched the name of Sir Thomas for wisdom and generosity, Apparently the company, after being reconstructed, 'found they were weighed down with a burden. After the adjournment it was ans nounced that the matter had been settled by the plaintiff accepting an offer of $10 a week for life and the parties paying their own costs, directors Threatened Removal of Old Pine Trees Scored By Club (By Canadian Press) Teronto, Ont, July 14--A recent open letter of the Ontario Society of Artists calls attention through its president, F.

Hon. James A. Robb, i at present on board the liner Minne- dosa bound for the Old Country an his prepared statement in which ans nouncement was made that consent had been given for the bank merger was issued in Ottawa when the Minister of Finance was on the high seas, Decision of the Minister and his colleagues to sanction the merger ob- viously was made early last week but when Mr. Robb was asked on the eve of his departure if any bank mergers were pending he naturally could not make an announcement for publication. The time for the release of such an announcement to the public had been set for Friday after- noon, after the close of the mar- kets, Improved Facilities Cabinet colleagues of Mr. Robb-- there are only one or two of them left in the Capital--are not disposed to discuss the Government's reasons for permitting the merger nor are the permanent officials of the De- partment of Finance inclined to make any comment or advance any argu- ment or explanation, in the absence of their chief. The only known rea- son for the merger therefore, is that the Government was impressed with the argument that improved facilities would be available to the customers of the Standard Bank if that institution were absorbed by the Canadian Bank of Commerce which has a chain of branches throughout the Dominion and better foreign connections than the Standard. Mr. Robb's attitude with respect to bank mergers is indicated by a re- cent utterance in Parliament where- in he dealt with the allegations of Progressive and Labor members re- garding the tendency of three or four large banks to gobble up smaller in- stitutions, Asking the question why is it that request comes to the Gov- ernment from time to time for the merging of banks. Mr, Robb ans- wered that big customers themselves throughout the country desire to do business with a large bank. Situation of Small Banks Mr. Robb instanced the wheat pool and commented that, "Such a concern cannot do business with small banks; it requires an institu- tion that can take care of its com- mitments. I will he frank with the House and say," he proceeded, "that representations are made to us from time to time that because of mergers and the desire of these mergers to avail themselves of banks that will properly take care of their busincss, the smaller banks are having hard sledding. These small banks say 'some of our customers who used to do husiness with us are now looking for larger and stronger banks'. Various members of Parliament criticized the present banking system of Canada and some deplored the concentration of headquarters of the great banks in Toronto and Montreal while the fact that four banks con- trol 75 per cent. of the entire de- posits of the Canadian people was also mentioned, In reply to these criticisms the banks claimed that the present system was in the interests of Canada and that districts remote from headquarters are under no dis. advantage. One prominent banker emphatically stated that no legitimate loan .properly secured had been re- fused from one end of Canada to the other since he had been a bank- er. Approval of Parliament T. L. Church, M.P,, for Toronto Northwest, introduced a bill provid- ing that agreements for mergers of banks should have the approval and sanction of Parliament instead of the sanction and approval merely of the Minister of Finance and the Govern- ment. It was not passed. In re- sponse to an inquiry, The Globe was informed this evening that no fur- ther statement concerning the Gov- ernment's reasons for sanctioning the merger would be forthcoming, "All we have to do is give our sanction," it was stated. "The rea- sons for the amalgamation have been accurately set forth in joint state- ments made by Arthur E. White, President of the Standard Bank and S. H. Logan of the Bank of Commerce. The merger will prove beneficial to all concerned." ADVENTURE I've never flown the ocean nor ven- tured mear the pole, I've never risked my life with death to reach a far-flung goal, But still not wholly flat and stale "my life has been I'd say I have adventured now and then and sometimes won the day.

THOMPSON'S We Deliver] And many a man unknown to fame will testify with me, He hazards much of time and care who moves a maple tree. Adventure does not wholly lie be- yond the paths of man, "ome seek it with a2 monoplane, some with a watering can, Tome find a thrill in braving death and others weeks will toil To grow one single perfect bloom in common yellow soil.
