By his feat Scott beat thé record of Wing Commander Chagles Kingsford- Smith, who made the westward flight from Australia to England, by nearly 48 hours, Previously he had clipped 20 hours from Kings- ford-Smith's eastward record, making the flight from England to Australia in nine days, 3 hours and 20 minutes. er Misses Official Welcome Reducing Record 48 Hours Scott had not been expected home until Saturday and he miss- ed an elaborate official welcome which had been planned for him at the Brooklands airdrome. How ever, after leaving Brindisi, Italy, at dawn, he decided to travel the entire 1,350 miles in one day. Consequently he landed to the greetings of the airfield atten- dants only, the same mon Who bade him goodbye on his depar- ture for Australia two months ago.

The idea of the chain stores has been to increase sales hy pass- ing on to consumers the'fullest benefits of price recessions, and to maintain or increase profits through an increase in sales rath- er than by a high ratio of profits to sales. The records of Loblaw Groce. terias. agd Dominion Stores Ltd., the shares of which companies are listed on The Toronto Stock Echange, indicated that the man- agements have succeeded in their objective. The profits of Loblaw Groceterias Co. for the year just closed showed an increase, while those of Dominion Stores for the first five months of 1931 also have shown an increase. The "wholesale wnrice index of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics shows a decline for the past year of 16.7 per cent. According to figures furnished by a leading On- tario grocery chain system, the decline in their prices for eight leading commodities in the past year has been 30 per.cent., as fol- lows: New cheese, 1. Old cheese, b.... Cream'y butter, Ib Fresh eggs Back bacofi, Ib, Side bacon, Ib... Potatoes, peck.... 36e 37¢ 57¢c o 41c 41c 21c 15¢ The policy of these grocery *bain systems is that when prices we reduced substantially people buy more goods. As the decline In'sales value of Loblaw Groceter- ia} Company in the past year has been less than 8 per cent., it is evident that thjs theory has been borne out, as the number of stores added to the chain during the year have been slight. Girls Not Jealous Of Oceanic Dancer i -------- New York, June 9--(B yThe WOMEN'S PAGE-- C@nadian Press)--Flo Ziegfeld hae found a girl other girls aren't jealous of. She is Rori and she cémes from Baro Baro in the So- ciety Islands of the South Pacific. SHe dances in a grass skirt and séme sort of garment that looks People don't wear shirtwaists if they dance in grass skirts in the land that Rori father was French and she went to a convent. That's where she learned to wear European clo- thes, and it probably explaing the shirtwaist. 'Ror! was "discovered" by the producers of a South Sea filmn which purported to use only na- tive talent. She was Subsequeui- ly persuaded to leave her sunay home and come to New York to dance in Mr. Ziegfeld's show. Men like her, of course, and curiously, so do girls, Xven the girls who will dance with her in the Follies, and who _mighi very easily be jealous. They wel- comed her at rehearsal, gather- ing around to examine her grass skirt and her brighi-colored shell beads. One of them gave her a cigarette and another lighted it for her, Rori can't say much in return, because she speaks only French and her native tongue. but her grin is warm and friendly, and speech doesn't seem necessary with her. It is her first trip away from home and she thinks Noasth America is great, she says. She likes everything--the men, the pretty girls, her hotel, radics, movies, her pay, Mr. Ziegfeld. She is glad to find people her. like her dancing but she does not have what most people wocld call ambition. If New York should decide not to like her, it weuld be all right. Shea would just go back home and kcep on swimming and dancing on the beach with the friends who are waiting for her. No, she would- n't think of making the United States her home. A nic2 place, ot course, but she is used to the sup and the sand. Rori likes to wear her grass rancing skirt but she admils that it is only a costume. In neat French, learned at tha con. vent, she says: "At ' me and on the street 1 wear 'hat any girl wear-- rs and skir:s suits aun «ings, "My family lives in a big frame house near the seashore.

Rori is 18 years old. uumar- ried, and she hopes to stay sin- gle for some time. She was fhown Broadway's lights 'rom an aeroplane. She. left Roasevell Field in an Air Service plane ac- cempanied by her dancing part- ner, whose name is Miri Rai. After circling the midtown sec- tion, Rori said: "I'm too hreaik- less to say how wonderful it was. T am so thrilled that jt will teke a day or so to tell what i. wa- like." Tells Results of Operatic Venture in Canadian City New York, June 9--(By The Canadian Press)--Deems Taylor writing in his column "Words and Music', in the New York American, unearthed a story of a Canadian musical venture. Here it ia: This is a sad story of art ver- sus protective tariff. Canada, as you probably know, has no permanent opera company. What few opera preformances the Can- adian hears are given by travel- ing companies--the San 'Carlo end the like--who come across the border from this country.

They are free to come and go as they please, since they take out what- ever they brought in (they take out a good deal of Canadian money, but there's no tax on that). Recently a group of publig spirited Canadians decided that Canada ought to do something operatic on her own account. Accordingly. they organized the Canadian Grand Opera Company, which made its bow with a pe-- formance of Gounod's Romeo et Juliette in Montreal on the even- ing of May seventh. The principials were Queena Mario and Edward Johnson, of tier, also of the Metropolitan ¢dn- the Metropolitan; Wilfred Pele- ducted. Otherwise, the company --principals, chorus, and orches- tra-- was almost entirely nativa. Out of the 150 persons connected with the performance, 140 were resident Canadians. Inasmuch as the scenic stu- dios and costume ateliers of Montreal are not exactly equiped to furnish a Romeo et Juilette prcduction at short notice, the company rented the scenery and costumes from the Metropolitan Whereupon, as they crossed the border, the following things hap- pened: They were compelled to pay a tax of forty-two per cent upon the. rental of the produc: tion: they were compelled to pay royalties upon three perform- ances of the ' opera, although they were giving only one; and they were ordered to use nrches- tra parts imported from France, for which they had to vay a ren- tal of a hundred and fifty dol- lars. In other words, a that was employing talent almost exclus 17, that was trying to do some ng for Cenada, asthetically, and that was even leaving most of lg mo- ney in Canada. was taxed to the bene. If it had been an Ameri- can company, its scenery and cos- tumes and orchestra parts would have been strictly its own bhusi- ness, and it would have paid no royalty at all. company Canadian NEW BRUNSWICK Leading Newspaper Man Considers Own Father | Greatest Man He Knew | Halifax, N.S., June 8.--Approx- imately forty years ago an ambi- tious young son of New Bruns- wick by the name of A. B. Mac- Donald, set out from his home town of The Narrows, Queen's County, N.B., in an effort to see the world and to satisfy his taste for romance and adventure. To- day this same man, although slightly aged in appearance and stature, retains still the rugged determination of his youth, which at this late date in life, has 'won | for him the Pulitzer prize of $1,- 000, the highest award in the field of American journalism, for te best example of a reporter's work in 1930 which accomplish- ed some public good, command- ing public attention and respect. The career of this professional newspaperman has been most in- terestings, and during his forty years of service on one of the leading Kansas City dailies, he has found time to interview al- most every variety and type of citizen, including cardinals, pres- idential candidates, bandits, out- Jaws, murderers, explorers, and preachers. Yet with all the hon- or that goes with meeting the | outstanding men in the different walks of life, "A.B." as he is fa- miliarly called by his hundreds cf friends, still congiders his own father as one of the greatest men who has lived during the past century, and he pays him the fol- lewing tribute: "The greatest man | ever knew was a preacher in a little Canadian village. He preached in three villages, riding on circuit, helping people. He did that for sixty vears and died possessing black broadcloth suit and #$1 A great man and a great life The present holder of the Pul- itzer award started his reporter's work back in 1890 on the staff of the old Kansas City Times. and from this date to the present, his name has been a byword in news- paper circles of the great middle west city, His career as a re- porter has been full of unusual achievement, and his special type of story has been the solving of murders and other mystery prob- lems. It was Mr. MacDonald's work of solving the mystery of A. D. Payne's "perfect crime" that won him the Pulitzer prize. This was apparently an unsolvable mystery and the detectives worked in vain *o find a solution. Finally "A.B." was called into the case and his immense newspaper experience, plus keenly developed powers of ohservation and ability to get people to talk, resulted in a sneedy solution of the mystery. The confession by the murderer and his suicide were the culmina- tion of an amazing series of events. This grand old man is still as keen and as eager to run down a story today as he was in his youth and although he has been. offered executive offices in the newspa- per, he has willingly declined pre- ferring to remain at his life's work in the role of a perfect re- porter. . Besides his routine duties he has found time to be a friend*and cempanion to Billy Sunday, and in 1916 he covered the daily meetings of the famous evangel- ist for the Ki s City Star, He is an ardent frohibitionist and a few years ago he wrote a series of articles for the Ladies' Home Journal reviewing wet and dry cenditions in the United States and Canada. | sons who Despite his free lance experi- Discovery of Cure For Stomach Ulcers Annouced By Doctor Chicago, Ill, June 9.--After more than five years of study, ex- periments, and treatment, an op- timistic. attitude has been taken by the musical school of North- western University toward a dis. covery for' the relief if not the complete cure of stomach ulcers. The medium employed is neutral gastric mucin, employed by Dr. Samuel J. Fogelson. Dr. Fogelson's progress with the treatment is attracting much at- tention in the medical world, Dr. Irving 8S. Cutter, dean ' of the school, informed alumni at a din- ner last Friday night. "While it is entirely too early to make definite annonncement," Dr. Cutter said of the gastic mu- cin process, "it seems probable that gastic mucin will play a con. siderable part hereafter in the management of ulcer conditions." Complete relief from subjective symptoms pergistent absence from pain has been afforded tg patients with typical ulcer histories, with- in three days after they had taken the mucin three times daily with their meals. Thirty grains in tah- let form was also administered hourly throughout the day. | The gastic mucin is obtained from the gastric muceous mem brane of swine, and is given in ice cream or other frozen foods, or in malted milk or fruit juices, ESSAY ON THE COW MUSES CANADA'S SOLEWN MP. Marquette Member Reads Work of American Col- lege Student Ottawa, June 8.--The House of Commons has its light moments, and one of these occurred recent- ly when estimates of the Agricul- ture Department were under con- sideration. Col. H. A, Mullins, Conservative member for Mar- yuette and an experienced cattle man, read to the House a brief essay which he =aid had been written by a Minnesota College student. Jt was as follows: "The cow is a female quadru- ped with an alto voice and a countenance in which there is no She collaborates with the in the production of a called milk, guile pump liquid ilar objects, and at last is skin- ned by thpse she has benefited, as mortals' commonly are. The young cow is called a calf and is used in the manufacture of cliicken salad, breaded veal and others uses of which no further kuowledge is necessary. The cow's tail is mounted aft and has a universal joint. It is used to disturb marauding flies and the tassel on the end has unique educational value, Per- come in contact with the tassel have vocabularies of peculiar and impressive force. The cow has two stomachs. The one on the ground floor is used as a warehouse and has no other function. When this one is filled, the cow retires to a quiet spot where her bad manners will occasion no comment. The raw material thus conveyed for the second time to the interior of her | face is pulverized and delivered to the auxiliary stomach, where it is converted into cow. The cow has no upper plate. All of her teeth are parked in the lower part of her face. This arrangement was perfected by an efficiency expert to keep her from gumming things up. Asa result she bites up and gums down." SAYS GOLDEN AGE OF MALE I PAST Speaker Claims Man Now Engaged in Struggle for Supremacy (By The Canadian Press) Calgary, Alta., June 5.--"Today woman has assumed an individu- alism, and is positively out to conquer the world," N. Emus Reid told the night of the Round Tahie in a recent address. Tt would al- most seem that the 19th century was the 'golden age of the male" and that from now on he would he engaged in a bitter struggle for supremacy in the world, the speaker stated. "The progress of the race in the future will be in proportion as we rebel against emotional en- slavement, Man gwill find in his discontent and rebellion the im- petus to carry on," Mr. Reid con- tinued. "Frustrated man has re-direct- ed his eftoris !» everv ~ge to es- cape social tyranny and it has been this rebellion or the male against domestic enslavement that has resujted in the art, poetry and inventions that characterize he civilized world today. "The male of the human spec- ies shrinks from allowing himself to sink.into social life, and this because he feels the spirit of in- dividualism and an urge to free himself from subjection to the op- posite sex," Mr. Reid believed. The home of the past had been | founded on the needs of the agri- cultural period, in which the child had become an asset at the age of ten or twelve years. Today a' different attitude had become general on the institution known as the home. People were marry- ing for companionship rather than for any other reason, Mr. Reid declared. In conclusion, the speaker de- clared that a man's life was spent in trying to find a compromise be- tween becoming a social unit, and expansing as an individual. In the lower strata of life, there is no male species and, therefore, man himself might consider him- ence in the magaizne field at which he was singularly success- ful, MacDonald always returned with joy to his reportorial desk. This is the work he loves. He writes in a clear, forceful style, disdaining "fine writing," . and presents true facts, regardless of whether or not they meet with the unanimous approval of the reading public, provides the | | filler for hash, sausages and sim- self a biological freak," Mr. Reid declared. Considerable discussion follow- ed Mr. Reid's address and opin- ions pro and con were aired at the meeting of the club.
