Field For Says Germany Has 10,000 Bomb Planes London, Eng.--Lord Rothermere, branding the British Government's plan to expand the Royal Air Force by 1,000 planes as 'childish and use- less for defense," told the House of Lords recently. "l say with full re- sponsibility that Germany at the pre- sent moment has 10,000 bombing planes." The Reich's hombers, the paper publisher said, are "of long range and high speed, capable of carrying a ton of high explosives." Ilis statement created a sensation in the Uupper House, even though Lord Rothermere"s Daily Mail has been pounding away at Britain's lack of air defenses and has claimed. re- peatedly that Germany has; a secret air force running into five figures.

THE EMPIRE BRITISH UNEMPLOYMENT To enable the unemployment fig- ures to be viewed in their true per- spective it is important to consider the duration of the periods of idle- ness suffered by individuals. It is frequently overlooked that there is not an unchanging body of over 2,- 000,000 persons who are. constantly out of work; in fact, in the majority of cases the period of unemployment is comparatively short, According to the latest Ministry of Labor Returns the number of persons on the reg- ister who were applying for benefit or unemployment allowance totalled 1,933,623, and of this figure about 56 per cent. had been out of work for less than three months, 69 per cent. for less than six months, and 20 per cent. for 12 months or more.--Indus. trial Britain, LONDON.PARIS RECORD First of two Comet monoplanes or- dered by the French Government, the machine which finished fourth fn the English-Australia speed race has broken all records for the Iondon- Paris run, Piloted by Mr. Hugh Buckingham, one of the de Haviland test pilots, and carrying one passenger, the air. plane taxied to a standstill outside the customs building at Le Bourget airport, Paris, 69 minutes after re- ceiving the signal to take off from Croydon. In spite of a beam wind which never fell below 25 miles an hour, and bumpy weather conditions that obliged the pilot to throttle down for considerable periods, the average speed over the 210 miles of the jour- ney was, therefore, 213.6 m.p.h. Time clocked in the afr from aero- drome to "aerodrome, disregarding time spent in take-off and landing ev- oolutions, was 54 minutes, giving an average speed made good over the ground of 233.3 m.p.h.--- British Afr- craft Society. THE HEALTH OF THE NAVY sicKkies The increase announced in naval must have caused a reace Women Tidmonton -- Marvelous opportun- ilies are open to women today, in the opinion of Mrs. C. H. Douglas, wife of Major Douglas, exponent of social credit, who is spending a few weeks in Edmonton with her "hus- band. She is believed the only wo- man direclor of a shipbuilding yard in Great Britain and a person of wide interests and experiences. She is leenly interested in Canadian women and their various fields of endeavor. Mrs. Douglas is vice-president of the Women's Ingineering Society of Great Britain which has a member- ship drawn from the British Isles, Canada, Australia and the United States, and of which Mrs. Amy Johnson Mollison,| famous aviatrix, is the president. Although she is not an engineer, her work as director of a yacht yard in Southampton water entitles her to membership and makes her a valuable asset to the adminis- trative side of the society's work. Many of the younger women of the society are doing intensely in- teresting pioneer work in the fields ot electrical engineering and metal- lurgy, securing the highest available degrees 'and distinguishing them- selves as inventors, said Mrs. Doug- las. They support themselves in the most interesting lines of endeavor. One owns and operates a garage; another, Miss Kennedy, past presi- dent of the organization, is general manager of a large tool making firm, having made the post for herself and working up from the bottom through sheer ability. Miss Holmes, another officer, is interested in rail- way engineering and has invented a device mow in general use on British railways. She is employed in the British patent office. Another member is manager of a large nail factory and many are fliers one mak- ing a splendid business of taking aerial photographs. Particular interest in the Old Land at the moment is focused on avla- tion due to Mrs. Mollison's presi- dency and this is veity interesting, Lut Mrs, Douglas feels that the future of women in engineering lies in electrical development. "Women," she said, "are particularly adapted to bring electrical power into the home and women can speak to wo- men about these things particularly well," Tt takes several hundreds of or- anges to make a_gallon of orange oil, which is of two kinds, bitter and sweet, made from different species!of fruit, Due to the development of the citrus fruit export business in Jam- aica, British West Indies, the pro- duction of oran{e oil in that island lias been steadily declining.

Old Story Recalled Another Duke of Richmond has died at historic Goodwood, the eighth to bear that title and the. victim of a war disability which paralyzed his legs and left him a cripple for the re- mainder of his life. Canada knew for a brief period the fourth Duke, who, after service as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, succeed- ed General Sherbrooke in the Gov- ernment of Canada in 1819 ,Death cut short his career in August of the fol- lowing year when he died at the set- tlement near the river Ottawa which continues to bear his name of the bite of a tame fox, not suspected to be in a rabid state, with which he had been playing at Sorel. The Duke was setting forth on a tour of inspection of what was then Upper Canada and thought nothing of the bites received from the fox un- til he reached Perth where he began to complain. "On the way from Perth towards the Ottawa River," said a letter written by a member of his staff, "some of the attendants obser- ved his irritability and extreme aver. sion to water on crossing the small- ost streamlets in the woods, and they could scarcely get him along. "On his approaching a small hut on the Ottawa River, rather than go into a house close to the river, he turned short and ran into a barn, At another house he ran from them into the woods, as if to shun the sight of water. His disorder was now rapid- ly Increasing. But on arrival within six miles this side of the new-named place, Richmond, after suffering most excruciating torment, he died, at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, the 28th of August." Thus perished in miserable state the fourth Duke of Richmond and a monument erected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board near the village which continues to bear his name records the fact.--Brockville Recorder.- Duchess Of Kent Wears Homburg Hat NEW MILLINERY SHADES BUT DOES NOT COVER EYES Women's hats for 1935 will not cover their eyes, but enable them to have a clear vision. Fronts are much longer, acting as sunshades," and give unhampered view, writes a Lon. don stylist. They are extremely chic, especially the Hamburg type, made of felt. Speaking at a private "Press' view women's fashions for 1923, held the Dorchester recently, Lord of at 21 Derby, president of the British Tex- tiles Exhibition, said he was not an expert on fashion and knew his place. Therefore he would not make any comument on the dresses. SEEING THE RACING! "But there is one thing. I am glad to say," he added, "and that is that the 1935 ladies' hats for Ascot will enable them to see the racing, in- stead of having them over thelr eyes, as they generally are."

TEACHERS WILL LEARN ENGLIS Toronto.--Arrangements have been completed whereby 100 French-Can- adian teachers will come to the Uni. versity of Toronto during the sum- mar to "live-in an atmosphere of English and to speak English en. 'tirely throughout the ges:ion, it was announced recently, For the past nine years groups of teachers from Ontario who were inl terested in speaking French, have been going to Quebec to live at the Sillery Academy where they have been entirely in French-Canadian sur. roundings and have been required to" speak I'rench only and to study phon. etics, French-Canadian literature, history and art. Now for the fir't time a reciprocal arrangement has been made through the co-operation of the University of Toronto and the Ontario Department of Education. A deputatipn from Que- bec recently visited Professor F. C. A. Jeanneret at the university here and details were worked out, The project was urged by Hon. Athanase David, provincial secretary of Que- bee, who is in charge of education in} that province; Hon. Cyril Delage, su. perintendent of public instruction and C. J. Miller, f{nspector-general of schools there. As a result, 50 men and 50 women --all lay teachers in the public and diigh schools--wlill arrive in Toronto on June 156 and on the following day be welcomed by President H. J. Cody, the minister of education, and the deputy minister of education, The women will live in Whitney Hall, the men in the men's residences. All de- partments of the university have 8ig- nified their desire to co-operate to make the month profitable. ° Lists Cost Already $1,691,046 Ottawa,--The total cost of the Do- Voters' F., Lord Derby said the Fair had worked itself up to be one of tne finest and biggest in the world.

Midnight Shopping The ~ Latest Thing In Paris the features of the Paris Season is the possibility of midnight shopping on the Champs Elysees, writes a correspondent. Some time back the society known as One of the Amis des Champs Elysees ap- proached the leading shopkeepers along the famous thoroughfare with a view to making this bold experi- ment, the aim of which, of course, is to stimulate trade and to further the. "Brighter Paris" movement. Most of them have responded favourably and as a beginning the plan is to keep open until midnight on one day of the week only--Friday. I passed up the Champs Elysees recently about 10.80, and judging by the look of things the experiment bids fair to give good results. Quite a third of the shops between the Rond Point and the Arc de Triomphe were open and seemed as busy as if it were five o'clock in the afternoon. Crowds of people were examining dress materials and choosing hats; a carpet dealer was offering prizes for every purchaser over G50 francs, while the pastry cooks and sweels shop scemed to be doing good busi- ness. the - -and--*I-must-get there" -appearance- One 'of the most popular types I saw yesterday was the Homburg.

And she has yet to see her eighteenth birth day. Rozelle "in nothing but a coat of golden paint, appeared as the "Gold- en Girl" in the Irving Place Burles- que Theatre, New York, last winter.

After a Broad- way debut and record run in the Pa. radise Cafe, she was chosen to go to London to appear in Clifford Whit. ney's Dorchester Hotel floor show.

Murshall, Saskatoon, Sask, May Result In Life's Research Lengthening Span Washington--New evidence that man's normal span of life may be increased by medical science was of- fered recently to the American Psychiatric Association. Studies of Alzhelmer's disease, one form of premature. old age, were de- clared by Doctors D. Rothschild of Foxborough, Mass., and J. Kasanin of Howard, R. I, to indicate old age may be a disease that medicine can retard. . Only about 100 cases of this par- ticular kind of premature which strikes between 40 and 60 years of age, have been reported. However, it is not uncommon, they added, sintz at the Foxborough, Mass., State Hospital approximately four per cent. of all cases in which autopsies were performed were found to have been suffering from the dis- ease. : In a few of the cases described, the two physicians said toxic influences --poisons in the system--seemed to be significant. Two of these showed toxic conditions could be associated with changes in body tissues similar to the changes noted in both senile dementia and Alzheimer's disease. "Such observations naturally raise the question," they said, "whether Alzheimer's dJsease and senile de- mentia may be based on as yet un- hrecognized toxic fiwtors. As a mat- ter of fact it is known that sene- scence in certain of the lower organ- ism can he greatly influenced by dietary changes, and by hunter and by endocrine factors."
