How to overcome that handi- cap, and relieve rheumatic aches and pains, is the subject of the following . tter:-- : "I have been taking Kruschen Salts for three months, When I started, I had rheumatism in both knees. They were very swollen. I cuvuld not. rise from a chair without assistance, 1 could not kneel, and to go upstairs was- agony. Now I can run upstairs and kneel us much as I like. Since I have taken Kruschen, I can work like a horse."--(Mrs,) H.S. - Two of the ingredients of Kruschen Salts are effective solvents of uric acid. Other ingredients of these Salts have a stimulating effect. upon the internal organs, and assist them to expel the ligsolved uric acid from the system. A R.C.M.P. Detachment Feature At C.N.E. The all-star detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which was a brilliant feature of the recent Coronation parade in London, and which thrilled New York at the Madison Square Garden Horse Show, is being specially "prepped" for the Canadian National Exhibition: Permission has been granted by the Federal Government for the at- tendance of this extraordinarily fine unit of thirty-two and their careful- ~ ly selected horses throughout the en- tire period of the Exhibition, where they will be one of the new attrac- tions at the grandstand show. This detachment of "Scarlet Riders of\ the Plains," with all they represent of romance and tradit'on, unquestioh- ably is the finest turnout of the fa- mous '"mounties" ever presented for public approval. The-horses alone would be an at- * traction anywhere. Only 220 horses are now used by "The Mounted," the expansion of the service and its duties having result- ed in the acquisition of four hun- dred and seventy-five motcr cars and over one hundred marine vessels and powerboats. Airplanes, too, now have entered into the patrol service on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards but the unit to be seen at the Ex- " hibition with their magnificent highly trained horses, will represent the world-famous force which was or- ganized -in 18783, to establish and majntain_law and order on the plains of the then Northwest Territories, Newspaper Man Of Old School (Maclean's Magazine.) Harry N. Moore is dead in Phil- adelphia. Few of the younger gener- ation knew him, or perhaps ever héard of him, yet he was of that colorful school of newspaper corres- pondents who, in days past, made journalism a caveer of adventure. A son of the Rev. T.-Albert Moore, noted Canadian divine, Harry Moore was a product of, the Toronto Tele- gram, went overseas in 1914 as a war correspondent' of the Montreal Star, later joined the Princess Pats, won a commission on the field. Then 'began a cur.ous phase of his career. The o!d Dublin Freeman's Journa!, declinng from its once great fame, wanted somebody to in- ject new life in it, and its then pro- prietor, a Major Fitzgerald, meeting Mocre in France, took him to Dublin to become the Freeman's managing editor. . Tha Freeman's Journal, a Nation. alist's journal, was steer:ng a desper- ately difficult course between Sinn Fein and the Black and Tans. Night after night, Moore sat at his desk with a revolver beside him. The Freeman refused to lower its colors for either side; the penalty was seized forms of the paper, stoned windows, smashed presses. Moore lived in a Dublin suburb, Night after night he drove home through the -streets without the police protection that was offered him; lived for months on end with threats against his life. Eventually the Freeman died, after which Moore acted as' correspondent for the British' United Press, lived in Paris, eventually found his way to the United States. He was engaged in newspaper work in Philadelphia® but mostly in obscurity and in de- clining health. He was still a young man--but some of his years had been long. Plans World's Widest Street Five blocks of buildings in the heart of Buenos Aires are to be de- molished in preparation for the con- struction of a new north-south ave- nue, which will be 450 feet wide from pavement to pavement.

SLICED VERY THIN By Sixbits "No Matter How Thin You Slice It -- It's Still Boloney" Sn eo 2 Lae oo For the first time in almost ten years a man who looks like a real fighter is wearing the heavyweight crown; for while attempts w il un- doubtedly be made to belittle takes. going out on the bough and like Wally took" David. oe Louis, he seems to have what it And when, if and as he meets Maxie Schmeling, we don't mind predicting that Joe will take the German Looking over the champs since Gene Tunney decided that he would rather have a million bucks and his senses than keep on until his eggs got addled, it must be admitted that they are a fairly scurvy Ww. cre! . First of all they elected Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling and said that whichever of the two could win would be declared the boss of the heavies. And the aroma of that fight still lingers on like the perfume of a fish and chip emporium on a torrid July day. -. - That, in case you disremember, was the fight where the referee awarded the duke to the German on a foul four minutes after he had been'knocked flat on h's sit-down. Then, six months later, the same New York Athletic Commission --or Percentage--which had "elected" Maxie to the utle dethroned him because he refused to fight a return bout with Sharkey--and half a year later nominated the latter as champion. = In 1932 this precious pair met again, and this time Mr. Sharkey won a dec'sion in fifteen rounds. * A year after than came the "fight" between Primo Carnera and Sharkey at the Long Island Bowl, when the huge Italian was probably the most astonished man present--which is saying a lot--when he knocked Sharkey out with the breeze of a right uppercut by as far as we personally are distant from being solvent. Three years ago this month--Maxie Baer--billed as Jack Demp- sey the second, probably because he had the same number of yn and ears as the old Mauler, met big Primo, for the title. The big boy from Mussoliniville was up and down 'like a penny stock--being knocked down, or falling down twelve times in eleven rounds, a fractured ankle very likely being * of little help to him. * That made Mr. Baer--Heaven help us--holder of the crown for- merly worn by Corbett, Fitzsimmons, Jeffries, Johnson, Dempsey -and Tunney--a belly laugh if ever there was one. {= * In June, 1935, for no good reason, Jimmy Braddock was tossed in against Baer--and most folks though it was similar to tossing a juicy Christian to a starving Neronian lion. Braddock was supposed to be all washed up--but he wasn't nearly as thoroughly washed. up Baer was burned out. And at the end of fifteen rounda Mr. Brad- dock discovered himself--much to his own amazement no doubt--the champion. ' * _ Two years he held the title--about as unproductive. a two years as a champion ever spent--for his management didn't even seem .to have sense enough to gather a few pickings in the way of vaudeville, moving picture, and exhibition ring engagements. It 1s said that the $31,000 which Braddock earned for beating Baer has long gone the way of all dough, and that he had bitten into Promoter Mike Jacobs very heavily before Tuesday's fight--a bite which will, naturally, have to be plastered out-of the takings of the Comiskey Park brawl. ~ LJ LJ So now Joe Louis--*"no black man will ever again be allowed to hold the title"'--is the boss of the heavyweights--and from present in- dications should hold that title just as long as he cares to keep in reasonably decent "shape; '; = As we said before, attempts will be made to belittle Louis and his abilities and achievements--just as was done in the case of Jack 3 Johnson, in the opinion of many, including the present commentator, the greatest heavyweight who eve » r drew on a glove. But Joe is a real fighter--make no mistage about that--and the way he softened Braddock down, taking no chances on a stray shot, and then lashing out so suddenly when the precise moment came, 'was a real masterpiece. NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS -.- By Peter Randal Spanish Incident Buried in the week's news, a very small item announces that 104 Am- ericans, volunteers in the Spanish Loyalist armies, are believed drown- ed from the steamship Ciudad de Barcelona. The ship is thought to have been torpedoed in the open Mediterranean, between Barcelona and Valencia, by a foreign sub- marine. Back in 1915 a similar incident oc- curred_when the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine. Americans lost their lives and a nation, which had been wavering in balances weighted for 'the Germans, was brought into action against them. Today, the same violation of the laws of the high seas bring nothing but a mention. Perhaps it is an indication that wars' have not always been en- tered from a sense of outraged honor but after a cold consideration of the chances for success. Right now. no one wants a war, but the feeling per- sists that it is not because of honor but rather a desire to live and wait-- until the guns are ready. Popular Trend Spanish political fashions-- what- ever their doubtful popularity. at home are beginning to go abroad. For a year and fifteen days, a mild. mannered little man tried to steer France through shoals both foreign and domestic.

In any event, the little man was turned down by the French Senate when he asked for sweeping powers to level the franc and to se- cure fresh revenues by control of foreign trade and taxation. Now, they have a Popular Front in France, a mixture of Socialists, Communists, and Radical Socialists led by Camille Chautemps. As usual, Chautemps is optimistic about the future of his government, but itt remains to be seen whether he can beat a record. of one year and fifteen days--. Twice premier before this present summons, Chautemps' last government, in 1934, lasted two months. Share The Land Germany has a new' "share the land" plan. The government has an- nounced the redistribution of thou- sands of 'acres including much prop- erty formerly belonging to the Church. Small holdings will be laid out--holdings grouped: into state controlled collectives for use of equip- ment and disposal of produce. About the. only difference existing between the German plan of socialization and the Soviet plan of state ownership will be the nominal ownership of the land by the peasants. Since this ownership will depend entirely upon the use to which they put the land in 'the opinion of the government, it will readily be seen that the differ- ence i8 more in name than in fact. Soviet Achievement Great things are being achieved by the Soviets and not only in the realm of economic and poliical science. Last week, three Russian airmen left Moscow for San Francisco by way of the North Pole. After sixty-four hours in the air, they landed just 580 miles short of their goal. The flight was daring but more than that, it was spectacular in the amount of preparation and careful research be- hind it. For ycars, Sovict airmen and scient'sts have been studying weather and flying conditions in the Arctie. Bases have been extended until quite recently one was establish- ed at-the Pole itself. This last weather observation post, located on float'ng ice at the world's peak was of invaluable aid in the final plotting of the successful flight. The Rus- s'ans are justly proud of the work of the'r scientists and airmen. Their achievement marks a new departure in aviation, l 3 Days to Europe ! While the Russians are engaged in the development of a regular air route across the roof of the world, plans are going forward rapidly for the testing of regular trans-Atlantic flight. Simultaneously on July bth, planes will leave Ireland and the shores of Newfofindland for experi- mental flights which, it is hoped will resu't in the establishment.of regu- lar air schedules across the last great ocean. Sky Congquor -- And Safety At such a time, it is interesting to know something of the equipment that is making long distance flight over land or water such an ordinary part of our lives. There is, for ex- just brought into service for trans- continental flight. The new plane will shuttle from New York to Los An- geles in slightly over fifteen hours, carry twenty-five, passengers and cruise at 218 miles per hour. Com- fort, awake or asleep, will be com- parable to the best on, the ground. Then, there are the new "Ensign" liners, fourteen of which are under construction for Imperial Airways. These twenty-ton, four-motored giants will see service on the European air, lanes, to Egypt and farther afield to Calcutta. Luxury and comfort will be the last word while the safety re- serve will be greater than that em- bodied in any ship ever built. The world is surely shrinking--sometimes we think it is shrinking too fast for comfortable living with the neigh- bors. Sky Adventuress Despite the advance of science, there are still adventurous souls on the skyways of the world. At this moment, somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, a woman is flying to keep a speaking engagement in Los Angeles on July 28th, There may be storms or a hundred and one things to pre- vent her arrival, but Amelia Earhart has calmly planned what she will do when she reaches the American con- tinent. Miss Earhart is expected to keep a radio engagement on Monday night. Lux Radio Hour, at ninel Amos n' Andy And, speaking of radio. . . children who have been born during the past eight years will probably remember to the end of their days, the antics of Amos 'n' Andy." The famous pair have just announced the end of their long association with the Pepsodent Company to take place New Year's Day. Right now, they are looking for a new sponsor. Land of "Never, Never" In England, the creator of "Peter Pan" has just tgken the last journey into the land "never, never." Sir James Barrie is dead but, wherever Christmas is observed and there are children, his memory will be kept in a little place apart from all the other artists of his day. "Peter Pan" ranks along with "Cyrano" and "Hansel and Gretel" of the children's Christ- mas musical world. It is interesting to know that children, whenever they go to see their favorites, Peter and Wendy, will be helping others of their kind. Some years ago, Barric gave the rights to Peter Pan to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children, in London, England. Women on the Tee We have no intention of prying into the feminine consciousness to ascertain, if possible, why women think they can play golf. There are not so many illusions left, anyway, and if women are able to persuade themselves they can play a game which has tried and licked to a fraz- zle the souls of many able-bodied men, it ill becomes an academic ob- server to take them by the hand and gently but firmly explain the folly of their conceit. We intend to leave this question of women's golf to a higher, yes, the highest tribunal. We shall leave it to that court of last resort, from which there is no ap- peal.

Goiters Grow On Prosperity Experts Finding -- Savs They - Osten Lead to Heart Failure DETROIT, -- More pcople develop toxic goiters in times of prosperity and Increased activity than In times of economic depression, Dr. Nelson M. Percy, president of the American Assoclation for the Study of QGoiter, said In his opening address at the an- nual convention of the association. Dr. Percy based his contention on a study of 5,000 cases of toxic goiter op- erated upon between 1926 and 10306. In the depression following the World War, there was a sharp decline in the number of toxic-goiter-cases. and ag- ain in the late depression there wus a decrease. In 1924-29 prosperity per- ipd, Dr. Percy stated, there was an unprecedented rise In the total num- ber of goiters. - ) There is a definite relationship be- tween toxic goiters and heart diszase said Dr. Percy, adding that goiter 3 often: the cause of heart failure, 'Research Upsets Goitre Theories N&W YORK.--Dircovery of a sie: cific fungus, apparently the causa of goitre, which, medical circles wu.id, might prove as important to sci2in-e 2s that of the tuberculosis balls, was reported to the United States chapter of the International Colege of Suregons, Describing hjs experiments with the fungus, which he located, Dr. Andre Crotti, thyroid authority of Columbus, O., presented data to show it is responsible for at least one of the two major types of goitre. The fungus is transmitted, he said, by drinking water and vegetables in voce ticular lcealities. There are two types of goitre, which is caused by the malfunction- ing of the thyroid gland in the neck. One, endemic goitre, is found in lo- calities where the water supply does not contain suflicient iodine, the che- wical needed by the thyroid. Dr, Crotti, however, disputed the theory of iodine deficiency as a "true pri- mary cause of goitre." Pulp Mills Raise Wages About 5,650 Workers in Four Quebec Plants Are Affected MONTREAL--Wage increases for 5,650 workers of four large Quebec Province pulp and paper manufactur- ing conderns were - announced last week by Labor Minister Tremblay. The Minister said the raises, effec- tive July 2, would result in additional disbursements of more than $1,150,- 000 annually to employees of Con- solidated Paper Corporation, Price Brothers ,& Company, Anglo-Cana- dian Pulp and Paper Mills, and Lake St. John Power and Paper Company. Consolidated's share alone would be about £600,000 a year, the Minis- ter said, for its 2,400 employees in three mills. Their present minimum wage of 37 cents an hour would be boosted progressively to 45 tents by next Jan, 14. ' "Why should 1 diet?
