Breaks Seaplane Record PERNAMBUCO, Brazil. -- France's giant flying boat Lieutenant de Vais- seau Paris broke the world's record for straight-line distance by a sea- plane when it landed at Maceio on the Brazil coast, 300 miles north of Bahia, this week. The great ship took off from Port Lyautey, Morocco, and flew a dis- tance of 5,780 kilometres (3,691.5 miles) in slightly over 34 hours, at an average speed of "103 miles an hour. International Zore Threatened SHANGHAI -- Every man able to bear arms in the International Settle- ment was placed on cmergency call this week-end as Shanghai's bloody war, raging up to the banks of Soo- chow Creek, threatened to spill over into the foreign zone. Five thousand British troops and American marines manned barricades stretching the length of the creek, which forms the northwest boundary of the foreign zone. They were under orders to resist to the limit any at- tacking force. Threat to the Settlement, where there are thousands of British, Amer- fcans and other foreigners, despite the mass evacuations early in the war, was the most serious since hostilities broke out here on Aug. 14. ~ Thousands of Chinese soldiers, with escape nearly cut off by advancing Japanese lines in Chapel, across the creek from the foreign zone, were be. ing pressed back against the Ameri- can defense sector.

The Dionne quintuplets may soon be living under the same roof as their parents and attending school and otherwise mixing with other chil- dren, Dr. A. R. Dafoe, informed more than 200 scientists and their friends in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, on Saturday night. His prediction of the complete change in early store for the world. famous "quints", was made at a ban- quet at which he was the guest of honor. A few hours previously, Dr. Dafoe had reported at a conference Dionne girls under his care had over- come the handicap of premature birth and were .normal children. Any Time Now Just when their removal from their present "glassed-in" life is to take place, the doctor would not say, but the intimation was there that the new plans were being studied care- fully and might be put into effect at any time. Science's two-day meeting to study the quintuplets moved into Callander on Sunday for a visit with the famous babies. Study 'at First Hand They went to Callander in a spec- ial train, spending ten and one-half hours travelling, to have two hours at the Dafoe Nursery. They left To- ronto early Sunday morning. Saturday's day-long conference on the quintuplets was the first to be held since the birth of the famous babies. Eight scientists of the Uni- versity of Toronto, to whom had been trusted the long study of the child- ren, reported on their development in respect to routine training, early so- cial development, mental growth, lan- guage development, self-discipline, biological development, and physical welfare. Suggestions were made at the ban- quet by both Dr, Dafoe and Dr. Dun- can McArthur, Deputy Minister of Education, that model schools might follow the training that had been giv- en the quintuplets. Dr. Dafoe said that he hoped shortly to be able to let the children mix with other children and that perhaps they might be able to attend a school near Callander with other children. "Like the Royal Family" ¢I think it is far better to train the children almost like thé Royal family," said Dr. Dafoe. "No mat- ter what those children do from now until the day they die, they will al- ways be the focus of attention, and. they might as well get accustomed to it." They would, however, be giv- en normal training, in school and in other respects. ' To the afternoon conference, Dr. Dafoe and his brother, Dr. William A. Dafoe, reported: "The quints have at last overcome the handicap of pre- mature birth-and are physically nor- mal. Their average weight is slight- ly above the average weight for chil- dren of their age. Their height is still a little under normal. Their chest measurements are above nor- mal." - ) Yvonne Is Brightest Regarding mental growth, Drs. W. E. Blatz and D,"A. Millichamp report- ed: "The Gesell, Kuhlman and Merrill- Palmer tests were applied to the quintuplets. Yvonne ranks highest in achievement, Marie lowest; Cecile and Annette alternate for second and Emilie switches from last to fourth. Tests will continue.

"By ELIZABETH EEDY &% Finance Wizard Resigns Although Nasi officials dendied that any decision regarding Dr. Hjalmar German Minister of Economies, had been reached, Dr. Schaeht considers him- sélf discharged from office. The Min- ister, whose astounding feats of fin- ancial juggling the past few years have kept Germany's economic affairs on a workable basis, has long been at variance with certain of the Nazi leaders. Trouble first came to a head: with the institution of the four-year plan- sponsored by General Goering, Asked about the Government's denial that he was leaving office, Dr. Schacht said: "The official announcement of my resigna- tion will be made yesterday, today or tomorrow." The Minister desires al- so to withdraw from the presidency of the Reichsbank, the Government agency for the control of German banking, What will Germany do without him? Ontario Trains Tourist Caterers One of the newer vocations open- ing up for the young people of On- tario, especially now that the tourist trade is becoming a major industry, is the tourist-catering profession. Starting later this month or early in December, a course in wayside booth selling, advertising proper cabin ac- commodation and the care of over- night tourists will be made available to. all young people interested, by the Women's Institutes Department of Ontario in connection with the National Employment Commission. Such a training will be of special use to young people in districts well trav- celled by tourists which are yet poor farming country. "By All Honorable Means" Again the voice from the south heard above the din of European squabbling and preparing for war: "We, as a nation, are at peace with all the world and for that 'we are _gesture, thankful.. We have no plans for conquest. To keep the peace is a fundamental policy of the United States. War will be avoided by all honorable means." Also in his Nav Day Letter, President Roosevelt warned that the United" States will maintain a sea strength sufficient to "ensure a righteous peace." Relief List Reduced Latest figures issued by Ottawa show that unemployment and relief have decreased during the past year "in"the Dominion of Canada. In Sep- tember, 1937, there were 78,479 few- er people on relief than in Septem- ber, 1936. Responsible:for the drop "fire better times, provincial and mu- nicipal work ptojects, activities of the National Employment Commission, the land settlement plan under which unemployed are assisted in becoming established on farms. Belgian Cabinet Crisis . Premier Paul Van Zeeland resigned last week from the leadership of the Belgian Government in order to fight the charges of Rexist (Fascist) oppo- nents that he was mixed up in a "national bank scandal." His cabinet resigned with him as a confidence The resulting crisis in Bel- glum forced the postponement of the nine-power conference which was to have met in Brussels Saturday to find an "amicable" solution to the Sino- Jap embroglio. New Irrigation Projects At a cost of more than $100,000, two new projects for irrigating areas |, in the Canadian west have been an-, nounced to be carried out under the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act, The work will be done in the Brooks! Al>y berta, irrigation district; and in the Cypress Hills area of Southern Sas- katchewan. The Government scheme involves taking over the land at about $10 an. acre and reselling it at the same figure. Land will be used for placing farmers from poor lands. or three years will be most significant. in view of the questions which "are unanswered by the data collected to date." Louse Inhabits Mouldy Volumes Likes Damp Tomes in Sharp Con- trast to the Book Worm The book louse, a tiny, almost trans- parent insect, has won a place on the list of things city apartment' dwellers worry about. The little fellow -- no relation of the book worm -- already has rated an investigation of the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture and seems about to become the object of a drive by the nation's organized pest fighters. Reaches Nuisance Status Dr. E. A! Back, of the bureau of En- tomology said the louse has reached full-fledged nuisance status and cited reports of apartment house occupants breaking leases to get away from the pests. The pest generally is seen on or in books which have become damp or mouldy. Technically, the insect is a psocid and no louse at all, "They don't bite; they don't carry disease," he declared, It is-now a traffic menace in Istan- bul to stop a person fn the street and ask for a match. : Another example of quaint British nomenclature is brou speedy little boats designed for service at seaplane bases of boats' and they will What Do the "Doodle Boats" Do? * ght forward in the curious name given these Imperial Airways. be used to police aircraft alighting areas and also to tow their moorings.

Their very walls - whisper of the colorful past. Known to Dickens and Scott One of these interesting places is the Rokeby Castle in Yorkshire, the home of the Morritt family since the early part of the seventeenth cen- tury. More than 1,100 acres com- prising the eastern portion of this es- tate is to be 'auctioned. Another estate of note which has come into the market is Broughton Place, near Maidstone, in Kent, where Queen Elizabeth once stayed on a visit to that county in the six- teenth century. The man who own- ed the place at that time was Thom- as Wotton, Sheriff of Kent, who en- larged and beautified the house te make it suitable for his distinguished guest. He is said to have "prayed to be excused" from knighthood and other honors which she offered him. Near the house stands an old yew tree, en- closed by a high ragstone wall Tradition has it that the Queen planted this tree. Held for 400 Years The Wotton family held this es- "tate for more than 400 years, and then it passed by marriage to the "great" Earl of Chesterfield. Later it became a part of the Kent estates of the Cornwallis family. Just asin' Canada and United States the large estates are difficult ) to sell because of the limited number of persons who can afford them, so in Britain many fine places "go beg- ging." Many need modernization, taxes on them are high and upkeep is costly. An example of this is found in the recent sale of Rousdon Mansion in East Devon, known as "one of the beauty spots of England." The buyer paid about $150,000, which was only a fraction of what the late Sir Henry. Peek paid to erect it. War's Horrors Will Increase Ramsay MacDonald Warns Ai. ciation For Advancement Of Science Former Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, addressing the British Association for the Advancement of Science, discussed the effects of mod- ern science on warfare. He said €hina and Spain had shown the great advance attributable to science fn' the destructive forces of so-called civilization. These would be repeated with increased horror wher- ever war broke out. Cannot Avoid Worst "If we cannot avoid war, we cannot avoid the. worst that can happen in warfare," he sald, in delivering the first Radford Mather lecture to the 'association. "But let us not be misled by thinking scientists as such can stop war." : 3 The action of the farmer in growing wheat and food for war, he continued, was akin to the engineer turning out improved flying engines, But it was false judgment and cawardly for one to blame them if peace was not secured. - Wants Practical Democracy "The plea I make is for practical democracy, but if democracy is to tri- umph in the attack now being made, ft must have method, and I believe the records of the scientific worker and the way he sots about his work will steady and clarify the popular mind not only to complain eloquently, but to conclude wisely," the former Prime Minister declared. A return to bows and arrows, he added, would not remove the gricy- ances of natiors, for which they will fight, or supply the enlightened diplo- macy which can keep peace without injury to a nation's sense of injustice. Murder Witnessed Through Telescons A murder seen through a telese cope has led to the death sentence i e- ing passed on Alvis Antal, who robbed and killed a Czech laborer named Milik near Dr.tislawa, Czechoslov- akia.
