Today the same shares have a market value of less than $2,750,000 without returning a cent of income."--St. Thomas Tim- es-Journal. "WOLI*™" HITLER Now we know what is wrong with Hitler. It all comes from the fact that someone gave him the name "Adolph," which, according to. Dr. Karl Plumeyer, a learned Berlin professor, is "an ancient and valor- ous name derived from the Edel- wold or Noble Wolf, a victory-and- fortune-promising animal." There ain't any sich animile. The wolf's re- putation for nobility is non-existent. And his reputation for ferocious- ness, so far _as the human race is concerned, is fake. Perhaps that is the fact wii Herr Hitler, too. Per- haps he is busy howling at the world in the hope that, just as many uninformed folk are afraid of the wolf's howl, the world will be afraid of his howl. On the other hand, per- haps he really is ferocious and is just taking the name Noble Wolf as a disguise.--Sault Star. ?

WOMEN IN PULPITS Opinion differ throughout Canada as to whether women should occupy church pulpits. Not long ago Mani- toba ministers voiced their approval; the Middlesex Presbytery of the United Church of Canada, meeting in London, voted against the ordin- aticn of , women. The decision was very close though, the standing vote being 40 to 38. The narrow margin points to a growing sympathy for women preachers, Many churchmen contend that the fair sex is better fitted for the role of missionary or deaconcss. Others say certain women would make excellent pulpit orators. With- out taking sides, one may say there isn't any doubt but that some would preach first class sermons.--Border Cities Stat. \ --_-- | DEFECTIVE CARS « The Law Amendments Committee of the Legislature, hearing the views of the public on traffic control a few days ago, were told by the chairman of the Safety Week Committee of the Board of Trade that 1,346 cars went through safety lane last year, and only 280 were found to be not defective in some way. And he made the much more significant statement that only the better class of car went through the lane at all. The others, the cars that really nceded it, never Inspector Street of the Winnipeg police department also told the consideration and for whom the challenge of the in- committee of the results of a short period of inspection of motor cars. Out of a total of 862 cars, 692 had brakes that were not working prop- mirrors or none at all, In the same period, more than 1,000 cars with only one headlight working were stopped on the city streets, -- Win- SHARP - SHPD Hats off to the St. Marys man who had the ingenious idea, Monday morning, of attaching a pair of horseshoes to the soles of his boots. Every other expedient had falied to help him walk the icy-icy streets without slipping, but the horseshoes did it. What a boom to the black- smiths if we would but follow his pioneering example! ---- St. Marys Journal-Argus. SEVEN SVAD YEARS 'Down in South Carolina a woman recently underwent an operation the full story of which moves one almost to tears. It illustrates how thorough in some souls runs the sound old principle of self-relinnce, which in this case involved untold penalties. This woman consulted a physician who told her that an operation was the only thing which would restore her health. She left his office and possibly with her going she passed from his memory. All that was years ago, but seven vears after she again appeared in his office, reminded him of his ad- vice, produced a shoe box filled wita pennies and told him she was ready naw Yor the oauog ution. With great pain she had gofie- back to work, to washing, and scrubbing, and mendy ing, and vear after year had set a- side the hardly earned pennies, the "little she could save out: of her poverty, until she had amassed the required amount, $75, and when this was gathered had returned to sub- nit herself to the necessary operat- ion. Needless to say she was at once hurried* to the hospital, her: shoe- box was safely tucked away in the safe to be returned to her when she again emerges from hospital. But what a sad seven years it must have been and how unnecessary! -- Halifax Chronicle. GOPHERS A PEST Huge amounts are spent each year in the purchase of gopher poison. On the other hand, some of the most valuable animals which Nature has provided to maintain these and other rodents within bounds are be- ing harried to the point of extinct- fon in some cases. With the natural enemies of the gophers thus remov- ed, poison. makes little headway In stemming the plague, besides being an ever present menace to other forms of wild life and the cause of many tragedies to human beings. Coyotes, weasels, hawks and bad- gers are invaluable as gopher hunters. It is true that the presence of coyotes around a barnyard may mean the occasional disappearance of sheep or calf in stress of hunger. But with proper supervision and the protection which a good dog affords, these animals can be kept where they belong to make their main diet on gophers and field mice.--Calgary Herald.

Thus, it ap- pears, the researches of the bureau in knitting, "degumming," dyeing, finishing, ageing, laundering, redye- ing, refinishing, etcetera, are helpful on the great subject of runs in stock- ings. But the New York Sun thinks that when a woman discovers a run in her' stocking she doesn't think of what the bureau-is doing. What we feel like saying about all this is that, God bless our souls, how the times do change! The New York Sun could never have had an editorial bit about runs in stockings when it was young. Come to that, we couldn't have had an editorial bit about runs in stockings when we were young. Runs in stockings was a subject that simply didn't arise in those days. The Province wouldn't have known. Who would have known? Stockings were out of sight then. Stockings were supposed to be out of mind then. We don't even know if they had' runs in stockings then. But if they did have runs in stock- ings then, we'd bet they were out of sight anyhow--Vancouver Prov- ince. ONE FATALITY One of the most satisfying fea- tures of the police report is the sub- stantial decline in motor accidents. The number reported last year was only 93, with one fatality, as com- pared with 268 and two fatalities in 1933. It would be a fine thing if Kingston could improve still further on last year's figures. -- Kingston Whig-Standard. - ' A THE EMPIRE PRINCE AS A SCOT The Prince of Walés has many ac- that of Scots He acts them.to the ' very sat, The costume.

CEYLON'S BLACK OUTLOOK Seldom has sunshine, the tradit- ional harbinger of happiness, so completely meant the reverse = of: good fortune as has been the recent and present experience in Ceylon. In his statement last week in the State Council Sir Baron Jayatilaka declar- ed that if there was no break in the weather during the next few days a state of famine avould be bound to supervene. That prophecy of woe seems to be in process of fulfilment. The weather reports continue to re- cord the absence of rain in precisely those parts where rain is most need- ed to abate the malaria epdiemic and to prevent crop failure. The rain- fall to date since the beginning of the year, comparing most unfavour- ably with the average for the cor- responding period during two decad- es, is disastrously deficient. The far- effect of this second drought, of last year, it is impos- sible to forecast. The crops on which the bulk of the population depend for their livelihood, badly affected as they have been already, will be.in danger of complete ruin.
