Keaton plays the redoubtable El- mer Stuyvesant, and blunders through the war to come out a hero inspite of himself. Sally Eilers is charming as the heroine, his sweet- heart, in the entertainment unit. Cliff Edwards and his trusty uku- lele come in for plenty of comedy too, and.

Edward Brophy plays the tough sergeant and extracts much comedy from the role, and Pitzy Katz, Victor Potel and others are in the fun brigade. Frank Mayo is convincing as the . captain and Arnold Korff as the Ger- man valet who turns German soldier. Edward Sedgwick directed the pic- ture and appears in the picture too as the cainp cook in a brief sequence, showing that a comed director can also be a comedian. 'He incidentally wrote 'and composed "Mister Mili- tary Man," the stirring march song which the soldiers sing in the produc- tion. The riotous entertainment at the front with Keaton's antics as a vol- unteer member of the show, and thé screamingly funny adventures of Buster and Sally in "No Man's Land" are a few of. the. hilagi i lights. 5 r Not only 'is "Forward March" the most elaborate Keaton picture to date, but it is ome of the swiftest and most hilarious pieces of enter- tainment §n many moons.

"Already the Socialists, Liberals and Conservatives alike seem to be trying to make party capital out of the conference, and to discredit this man or that cause, rather 'than face the reality that the émpire is at the: eromsyonds," says Lord Mel- chett. : A noted politician thinks that weryone should 'be taught "how to cak.

Miss Norris said that this was the state of affairs at some -of the schools, poverty which would horrify other teachers if they could see it. They realized that money and teach- ers were 'scarce, continued Miss Nor- ris, but they believed that they should have help from the govern- ment just as aid was given for the construction of roads. Teaching, Miss Norris said, occu- pies the key position of modern civilization, Laborers 'performing monotonous tasks must have food for their minds and if they learned the value of books in their school days they would have* a splendid means of relaxation and recreation. Miss Norris went on to urge the need of pupil teachers being given more instruction in actual teaching. In some cases, she said, they taught only cighl lessons under actual of- ficial observation, During 1929 there were more than 65,000,000 bunches of bananas im- 1S. INMIGRATION | RULES TIGHTENED Entrants Must Have Ample Resources to Last Until They Get Job Montreal --Immigration into the United States is being tightened to the extent that visas, necessary for legal entry into the country, are be- ing granted only to those able to prove to consuls that they have re- sources ample in the light of depress- ed economic conditions obtaining. General regulations remain as they have always been, with regard to the quotas and to the exemption of Canadian-born from those quotas, but official policy at this time is to give greater force to the regulations contained in a very flexible clause requiring that nobody shall be ap- proved for entry for pérmanent resi- dence who is likely to become a pub- lic charge. Lessened chances of se- curing werk speedily have their re flection in the closer investigation which. is now being made by con- sular officers, as much in the inter- est of the intending emigrams as of the country itself. The policy is being applied to Can. adians and to Mexicans as well as to people from across the water. Mexi- can immigratioh has been reduced 75 per cent, it is said, through stricte: application of the resources clause. It is esfimated that penny sales amounted to more than 19 per cent. of the candy sales in the United States last year.

The 19-yedr-old youth, a strong Conservative politically, is an as- pirant to a seat in Parliament in 1932 when hé becomes of age. The son of the former Chancel- lor scored the leaders of the pres- ent British Government as the "weakest invertebrates in the coun- try," He expressed his belief in large navies and declared that "even our paval power has to be de- cided upon by other countries. Un- rest in India, he said, is caused by the lack of a firm hand in suppress- ing anarchy and treason, while Britain today is "throwing away" her interests in every part of the world. "The reason for all these trou- bles and misfortunes," said Mr. Churchill, "is that our country to- day is controlleed by the silliest and slopplest of sentimentalists who ever in all history sats on the Treasury Bench. The Government of Britain and her Empire has for some pecuiar reason been entrust- ed to the weakest invertebrates in the country.
