Lost "Faze' In Nenking It is a curious thought that, though for years many people in the United States have considered Japan as a potential cpnemy, while most persons in the British Empire have considered Japan as cn active friend, when the crisis arrives, the Americans go, and the Dritish stay. As a result of this fact British prestige will be greater in the Orient (among Chinese and Japanese alike) than that of the Unit. ed States. --Hamilton Spectator, Life Gees On The pt blic view of the daily news is always out of perspective.

They do not appear to be dis- couraged after eight seasons of drought that have afflicted areas in the Prairie Provinces comprising about 12,000,000 acres. In a recent speech before the Canadian Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Regina, the Hon. J. G: Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agriculture, said: "There is no better next-year country in the world "than Western Canada." In that brief sentence the Minister of Agriculture epitomized the opinion of Western Canada. One wonders sometimes "whether there-is something in the big open spaces of the Prairie Provinces that develops this spirit. tionable if the citizens of Eastern Canada would stand up as well under repeated disccuragements as thelr Western compatriots have. -- DBrant- -ford Expositor.

These cater for three classes of men--those who have never learned a trade are given a modicum of skill ensuring in almost all cases their permanent engagement; those who find their skill unsought are fitted tor other trades where labour is in de- mand; those who have lost manual dexterity, or general physical condi- tion, or the habit of work, owing to prolonged idleness, are given the op- portunity to tone up eyes, muscles and hands. The first two classes go to the training centres for six months and the third to instructional courses for three months, Such a scheme might well be adopted here. On the one hand there are the tens of thousands of unemployed; on the other many op- portunities tor qualified men. Well or- ganized training centres could do much to bring labour supply and de- mand together. Auckland (N.Z.) News. British Subjects The constitutional report of the Im- perial Conference, published recently, finally scotches the rumors and fears that the common status of the citizens of the British Empire could and would be altered and the title of "British subject" changed. Not even in fact did South African delegates propose a modification of the status. As for defining nationality within each Do- minfon, quite another point, the sug- gestion that legislation was necessary everywhere has found no support, and the matter is left for future consulta. tion. Let us hope the whole thing will be dropped. Meanwhile, the main fact is that all South Africans remain British subjects, not in the sense of subjects to Britain but as subjects to the King.--Capetown Argus. Story of Hot Dog's Rise to Popularity Frankfurter Came to North Amer- ica In First Half of 19th Century The hot dog--the frankfurter -- the to call it--came to Am~-ica in the first half of the 19th century. When it arrived it .was a delicacy. Some- thing to be enjoyed at breakfast, or tasty, so toothsome and so delicious that it grew rapidly in popularity. Giving It a Name American sausage makers-soon be- gan to produce it here. No one knows who first conceived the idea of making a sandwich of a frankfurter by slip- ping the whole sausage, hot, .into a roll, but it was introduced in that form to the public when Harry Stev- ens, caterer at the New York Polo Grounds, began selling steamed frank- furters in hot rolls, back in 1898. ~~ At about the same time, -the well known cartoonist, ' Tad" Dorgan gave the name "hot dog," and these occur- rences started something. They lifted the frankfurter out of a class of or- dinary merchandise into the realm of big business. New Luxury Liner To Be Built in U.S.A.

"Flying Physician" Lost ~Fears are mounting that Dr. Clyde de Fenton, the northern Australian "Flying Physician," won't be found alive.

Royal Australian Air Force planes are conducting a wide- spread search over the territory, the most arid and desolate of northern Australia, Famed Church, Harbor and High- way of Upper Canada Scene of Links Battle. By MR, HECTOR CHARLESWORTH ITard by the site of this year's battle | for the Seagram Gold Cup, emblem of the Canadian Open golf title, stands the churchyard and rectory of St, John's, York Mills, one of the oldest Anglican Churches in Canada. In the churchyard are graves which date back to the first decade of the 19th Century. Some jdea of the antiquity of the edifice, which stands on a hill over- looking a large stretch of country, may be gleaned from the fact that the largest Anglican church in Toronto today, St, Paul's, Bloor Street, was or- iginally established as a mission of St. John's, which lies about five miles north of it as the crow flies, What is now the City of Toronto did not ex- tend-more-than a mile back from the Bay, and at the time mentioned, only farm lands with a few crossroad set- tlements lay between the parent chyych and its offspring. Part of Oldest Highway The ground where St. Andrew's course is situated is historic for an- cther reason. The old road on which it faces, now merely a by-way, was once part of the oldest highway .north of Toronto, laid out under orders of Covernor Simcoe. The original Yonge Street, planned to connect Lake On- tario with Lake Simcoe, and the hin- terland to the north, detoured along the hills to avoid the deeper valleys, and this by-way is one of the original detours. Another fact of unique interest Is that the old church once overlooked what was an inland harbor. The Don River, which used to cross Yonge St. at this point, was so deep as to be navigable from Toronto Bay to this point. Flat-bottomed boats carried car- goes for the north which were trans- ferred fo wagons and Siodsey at York Mills. fain ot 2 2 > -> : [laches from the Press Ho ag Wed Eighth Time CROWN POINT: Int.--When Mrs. Virginia Overshiner Cogswell, former Georgia beauty queen, divorced her seventh husband in Chicago last -Aug-.|. ust, she said: "Never again," but this week she annexed her. eighth husband.

President Roosevelt's Speech Believed to be the most important speech he had ever delivered on world affairs, President Roosevelt's address at Chicago last week has created a great deal of comment in countries' other than his own. He spoke in ac- tuality to the world, appealing for the "concerted effort! of peace-loving nations "to uphold laws and principles on which along peace can rest secure." He raised his voice against an "epi- demic of world lawlessness," against the trouble-making powers, declaring that epidemics always call for quaran- | tine, The President's suggestion for a quarantine against international law- lessness is looked upon as the strong- est and most concise offer of United States co-operation given to European nations seeking to curb the aggression of Italy, Germany, Japan. Precs-Gag Bill Stop "The bills Tens the Alborta Legls- lature on taxation of banks, the Credit Act and the. bill "to ensure the publi: cation of accurate news and informa- tion" were reserved by the Lieutenant- Governor to await the pleasure of the Governor-General of Canada, when they came before the House this week. The Lieutenant-Governor gave his assent to eight other bills which bore no. relation to the one disallowed by the Federal Government in August. Premier Aberhart's proposal to con. trol the press of Alberta has thus gone b the board. Japan Indicted A conterany of the nine powers who signed the League of Nations treaty guaranteeing the territorial in- tegrity of China (China, Japan, Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal) is proposed for this week to deal with the Japanese invasion.
