Seven : Million People; "They Do Things Pretty Much Like Canadians, But They Think Canada is a Cold Place ii 'R. A. KENNEDY Rditor of the, Stratford Beacon= erald. « Scheveningen, Holland, June 30-- It would have been much 'easier 'to this ri "The Hague," 'that is where we are, But that long name, which sounds in the na- ive tongue something like a person gareting with a bit of salt and soda or a sore throat, is where we find ourselves for the week-end. It is the most famous of Holland's watering places, although Having its start as 'a fishing village. Last evening on the *way out here we noticed many women wearing an odd white head- ar, something like a white hand- ferhict puffed out at the back of the head, These women, they tell me, are fishermen's wives. Why do they wear that distinctive headdress? Merely because it is custom, and has always been done that way. "We crossed from Belgium into Holland in late afternoon yesterday at, Roosendal. That meant another presentation of passports, another change of money, another change in the garb of officers around the station, another change in language. Something familiar about the rural scenery here, though. Looking from the car window one might readily imagine he were in any good dairy district in Ontario. Great herds of Holsteins, only there are many times the number of cattle that would be seen in similar space in Ontario. Yes, they do wear wooden shoes here, and they wear them in other countries. The men working around the parks in Brussels wore them, and . in 'several places in Holland 1 have noticed them. For the most part people seem to be dressed just about the same as they are in Canada. But 'what a number of bicycles one sees in Holland. Every road in the country, all the little towns and here at the beach they go up and down in countless numbers, all on wheels. ' Bulb Crop a Failure Strange, wasn't it, thae the first windmill I saw in Holland after crossing the border was of the type we use in Ontario, a steel contrap- tion. But there are many of the other variety that we see in pictures, with their great spread of wing. They are not confined to Holland, for 1 have seen them in three or four - other countries. At places where we stopped near homes, I eould notice that gooseberries were well filled out and ready to pick, and currants are ripe, so I gather that sedsonis here are some weeks in ad- vance of our own. The bulb grow- i prssof Holland suffered severely last wiiter from the severe weather, and im some cases they tell me they have .smofhing' to export for" the 'present. '4% he { Hague' has no industries of "igy 'kind: It'fs essentially a residen- tial city for men who can afford to me there from Rotterdam; and msterdam, or who have retired from business. Hence there are streets here that for home beauties and comforts are hard to surpass. Last evening one of the guests at this hotel informed me that "right out from here is England, just 150 miles' away." That was at 10 o'clock at night and it was light enough then to sit out in the alcove and read. It also becomes quite light at this time' of year at 3 in the morn- 'ing. Right out in front is the North Sea, and it seems to. be in a fairly placid mood this morning. As far as one can see there are those little hut-like beach chairs, and thousands of little portable houses which can be rented, and in which tea and af- ternoon things to cat can be secured. This is a wonderful beach, but the water is rebukingly cold, and none are bathing today. The weather last night was %o degrees, which they as- sure me is very cold for this season. Once again I was informed that such weather would suit the Cana- dians very well, as we are used to so much ice and snow at home. The mext: time I shall carry with me a hammer with a large whacker at . | countries and across the ocean. Leunard Krench, 68, who ran away from the poorhouse, after his first night there to the Toronto jail, where he asked to be commit. ted because he considers it a pleas- bogie - the end of the handle. With that it might be ' possible to try and nail that foolish idea of the cold of. Can- ada. 'It seems to be thoroughly es- tablished that we are regular ice- hounds, and it seems impossible to correct the impression. Perhaps the people here have seen too many pictures of mountains and ice and heard too many stories of Indians and wild S. ' This Great Peace Palace The Hague, June 30--A sensa- tion that one is facing a real ana+ chronism cannot be driven from the mind when walking through the Peace Palace at the Hague. Here it was that tangible and visible form was given to international arbitra- tion; here are windows telling = the story of the final triumph of peace; every room seems to have this idea standing forth in stained glass or suggested in architecture. Gifts from the nations of the world are all there, significant of the good intentions that helped fashion this magnificent structure. But like the liner Celtic which went down in sight of 'a lighthouse, so the world went off to war after paying its tri- bute to peace at the Hague. A wonderful place, though, it must not be considered' that the efforts here have been wasted. In one large room furnished by Japan are some remarkable tapestries, and it is stated that it occupied 1,000 women three years at work in the creation of these pieces. In one room I saw a bust of Andrew Car- negie who donated generously to make the building possible. His name was carefully 'inscribed thereon. Only a little farther on is a bust of King Edward, but with no name. I asked the reason from a Dutch jour- nalist, and his reply was "King Ed- ward is too well. known to need words." The Hague is proud of its art gallery, and well it might be. Here is to be found a collection of paint- ings from the greatest Dutch mas- ters. Although I was assured that there were paintings at Amsterdam that were considered better than the collection here, those at the Hague are priceless in value. Not long since there was a great international exhibition in London, and from the Hague gallery several were taken. They were considered of so great value that the ship carrying them to England was escorted by torpedo boats. Here one sees work by Jan Steen, Jac van Ruisdal, Ulft, Velde, Keijser, Wouwermans, Rem- brant, Vermeer, Potter; Maes, d'Hondecoeter and many others, all of whom have left monuments to their genius. Amsterdam is the capital of Hol- fand in name only, and the Hague is really the political centre. Here fives the queen; here are stationed the "foreign attaches and the state officers, and all business is carried on here. The Family Goes a-Cycling The Hague is beautiful. Great wide avenues, arched by trees, beautiful homes, reflecting the Dutch school of architecture, all combine to form a panorama of exquisite beauty. I think I.made mention be- fore of the number of bicycles seen in Holland. It is a country of some 7,500,000 people, and there are well over 4,000,000 bicycles. Father and mother ride out for Sunday at the beach, behind come. the children, and for the very small Hollander a little basket is placed on the rear of fa- ther's wheel. Nor. does -youth lose time riding wheels in the evening. looks as though a young rhan could go courting just as well on a wheel as otherwise. - They ride along in pairs, with the man's arm holding to that of his friend, or better still, with his firm hand resting lovingly on that of the object of his affec- tion. Shortly after arriving in Holland there was a rap on the door, and a young man entered asking that I sign a card, filling for the police. began to wonder if 'the more urgent of my creditors at home had found out my asylum ad had pursued me through my e assured me, though, that it was cus- tomary, and that every person en- tering Holland must report to the police at once. A novel contrivance was seen at the hotel here. When entering the door I reached to push the doors open, but they opened before I could touch them and closed the same way. As soon as one steps on the mat the door swings open, and after crossing another similar place on the other side the doors close. and THIRD CHILD DIES ON HOSPITAL TABLE Coroner Orders Probe Into time in five days, a child died under an anaesthetic in a Toronto hospital last night. The latest victim is 12-year-old John Buck, Westmoreland avenue. He died on the operating table at the Hospital for Sick Children, sup- posedly: while undergoing. an opera- tion for the removal of tonsils.) Inquests have already been order- ed into the details of Harold Green-. law, Henning avenue, who died in Grace hospital on' Thursday, and Douglas Fenn, Glebeholme 'road, who ied in Corohado hospital on Satur- ay. Attaches on duty at the Hospital for Sick Children last night flatly re- fused information on the death of the Buck child and police denied knowledge of the case.

Sunshine is good for the soul! The faith of Edward Kahrs, tan- ned and bare-legged evangelist from Tilsonburg, is that since ones soul inhabits one's body it could reasonably be expected to respond to a cheerful environment. His method of providing this al- most causes a trafic jam wherever he appears, particularly downtuwn recently, for Mr. Kahrs has for the past four weeks been clad in short trousers, with bare legs, neck and arms, and sockless sandals. This, together with cold water, sun baths, hard work and moderate eating, is a powerful aid to salva- tion, declares Kahrs, who is 51, but does not look it. A lot of people are rather mixed up about their souls," he explain- ed. "They look on them as some- thing separate, and have forgotten that the soul is the life of the body. So I go wherever I'm led, and try to teach them to care for their bod- VISCOUNT LASCELLES Son-in-law of King George, in a recent speech, strongly upheld the British Legion as a peace or- ganization, jes if they value their souls." Mr. Kahrs says he was convert- ed while in prison many years ago and declares that "every useful thing I've learned, I've learned since my conversion." i "Long walks and sun baths made my health better and made my soul stronger," he said. 'I've won lots of victories since I started taking sun baths." "People need teaching more than preaching nowadays," asserts Kahrs, who does not believe in hell fire. 'I used to condemn them, though. I used to stand on street corners and condemn just about everything, but I've found some- thing' more useful to do than to preach about hell-fire." This evangelist of ('health and Joy" does not frown upon short skirts. In his opinion that is ex- actly where the modern women's clothes give them an advantage over men. "It strengthens them against the elements and makes them tough," he opines. "I believe you could say a lot about prudishness when you talk about clothes," he said. ®'After uu, it has been proved, hasn't it, that among the savage races people live more strictly moral lives than a lot of civilized people." flict Will See End of Bolshevism Paris, July 22.--The hope of the Romanoffs that some day one of their dynasty may again sit on the throne of all the Russians was re- vived among the royal exiles in Paris with the reports of a threat- ened war between the Soviet Union and the Chinese Republic. In an interview, Grand Duke Al- exander, uncle of the pretender to the Russian throne, Grand Duke Cyril, stated that a war between the Soviets and China would be the end of Bolshevism, The Grand Duke added that in the event of such a war the Rus. sian emigres would rally to the banner of the oppenents of Bolshe- vism. "General mobilization would give us Russians arms with which to fight against the Soviets," the Grand Duke said. "Of course, in case of victory a Monarchy would not come immediately afterwara, We probably would establish an in- ternal benevolent dictatorship. But in any case, a victory would mean the end of Bolshevism and the end of. the present regime of terror. "There is a strong anti-Bolshe- vik feeling in Siberia. This is com- prehensible, because Siberia is so far away from Moscow. There is also 3 strong anti-Jewish feeling there, because the present leaders are mostly Jews.

Mortimer Smokler, dentist, Mrs. Dolly Bleum- lein of Scarsdale, will receive $1,000, following a decision today by Su- preme Court Justice Frank I. Young, who denied Smokler's motion to have a verdict of $16,000 set aside, Mrs, Bleumlein will receive $16,000 and her husband, Louis, will get $3,000 for loss of her services. This verdict was rendered by a jury last March. Mrs, Bluemlein contended that she went to Dr. Smokler to have a tooth extracted and that he first pulled the wrong one, Then she claimed, he con- been extracted. In her bill of com- plaint, she alleged that Dr. Smokler "cracked her jaw bone" and that the pain resulting from the wholesale ex- traction nearly drove her to suicide. Justice Young also denied Dr. Smokler's motion for a new trial, tinued to draw teeth until 17 had | S Do you pick the you want and need, simply take what is handed to you?
