MRS. SNOWDEN IS PATRON OF OPERA New Viscountess Has Keen Interest in Covent Garden Opera (By Thomas T. Champion, Canadia Press Staff Writer) ' London.~Lady Icornshaw ~ Mrs, Philip Snowden until recently--has become Vice-Chairman of the Co- vent Garden Opera Syndicate, Her interest in music is of very long standing. She is ambitious for the ation of all the opera gra. nizations in the country, and holds that there is no room in England for two big companies, Opera, says Lady Snowden, has always been smething of a social stunt -- cer~ tainly s far as London is concerned. A central controlling could are Tange for er companies to go to the less densely populated parts of England, One international sea son could be held in Lon each year when at least one first-class ritish work could be produced. At a work in Englan , an © scheme went well this number could be reduced considerably, Lady Snowden is assured of the towards her enterprises of Tho« mas Beecham, As one of the direc- tors of the British - Broadeastin Corporation she is also assured of its sympathetic co-operation, ad Snowden hopes to sce the B.B.C. becoming the nucleus of a Ministry, of Fine Arts, According to Sir Landon Ron- ald, jazz oy dying.

"That per- jod was short lived," he said, "and after some of the punching I have t feel much in- Accompanied by Lord Stanmore, the Earl of Macclesfield, Admiral Dawson and Harry Preston, the Prince enjoyed some stirring con- iven' at the Public Hall, Can- Kown, by the West Ham Box- Club, in aid of St. Bartholo- s Hospital, and St. Mary's Hospital, Plaistow, He laughe heartily at a comic: bout in which Lord Knebworth, boxing with A. Foster, of the West Ham A.C, imi- tated Charlie Chaplin's ring tactics, | Both contestants gave an exhibition of what might be called "all-in boxing, rolling on the floor and at- tempting to push each other out of the ring. ; The since, as President of St Bartholomew's Hospital, thanked the boxers and the audience for helping the hospitals, He said he knew. only too well how very bad times were and it was, therefore, all the more praise-worthy that people were still helping the hospitals, "It is always a great pleasure to me to come down to this part of London to see some of your boxing tournaments," the Prince added, "1 always know I am going to see good fighting and straight and clean fighting. The competitors have little time and little opportunity for keeping themselpes fit for training; therefore congratulations are all the more due to them." The Prince, who was welcomed by a great crowd outside the hall, wore a red and white spotted silk scarf lightly tied round his neck as a precaution after the chill from which he suf- fered a few days previous, MANY COHENS BUT ONLY ON KELLY ATTEND WEL | Recent bse Reveals Many Interesting Facts About Students ning Montreal, Que.~If the Cohens do not consert with the Kellys on Me- Gill University campus, it is for the simple reason that there are 11 Co- hens and only one Kelly, a matter which will undoubtedly be rectified at the opening of the term next Car, y This fact and many others may be gathered from the pages of the uni- versity's most popular publication, the students' directory just issued under the auspices of the Students Council, being complete with names, city addresses, home addresses and telephone numbers, The Smiths and Smyths easily outnumber any other single group of names in the 70-page volume, there being a total of 26 of this popular variety, overwhelming the Joneses by almost three to one, there being only nine of the latter, The Joneses have given place on the campus to the Johnsons, John- stons and Johnstones of whom there are a total of 18, closely rivalled by 15 Clarks and Clarkes, 12 Hamil. tons, 11 Wilsons and 11 Macleans and McLeans, . Many of the student body will eat their Christmas pudding far from Home this year judging from the home addresses Fen; students from many parts of the world make up the 3,000 enrollment at the uni. versity, ; All nine provinces of the Domin- jon are represented and, as well, Newfoundland, Other parts of the British Empire send large _contin- ents, these coming from England, cotland, Wales, Ulster, Irish Free State, South Africa, British West Indies and Bermuda, ' To make the student body truly international in character the uni- versity also recruits students from ractically all the states of the United States, from glacier-strewn Alaska, Switzerland, France, Ger- many, Holland, Argentina, Guate- mala, Mexico, the minican Re- public and far-off China, NEW GOLD RUSH TO ISLAND LAKE Winnipeg, Dec, 14, = Isolated fsland Lake, with its score or more of yucky fales, is the object of gold-hunters, who sireaked Into the Manitoba Northland yesterday aboard aire planes, It amounted to a rush toward the lake situated at the Ontario. Manitoba border, 150 miles east of Norway House, when five pianes took ofl from here and an- other from Pay, carrying r pros! rs, who had intended waiting until spring before two Torcnto mine internsts took steps to start north at once.

Dramatic changes in world transport and communies- tions sre foreshadowed in the building, on the banks of the Ri- ver Medway at Rochester, Kent, of a slipway where flying boats larger than any yet to take the air may be erected and launched. Alded by the extensive devel- opment of metal construction methods, which have removed limitations inevitably prevailing when wood was the material on which the aircraft builder chiefly depended, flying boat designers have planned during the last few years craft worthy indeed to be styled "flying ships", and there is no indication that the process of growth is yet ended, Two air boats 4 | pow under construction in Brit- ish factories will each weigh when fully loaded no less than 20-35 tons, and considerably larger ves. sels, up to 90-100 tons, are con- templated, Flying machines of this order of size cannot be prected Inside the largest sheds. Their overall height from keel to the top of the superstructure is too great, Already the company responsible for the new slipway has bad 4im- eulty in building big three-en- gined boats with a gross weight of 18 tons inside the biggest shed at the Rochester works. In future the hull of new flying ships will be constructed within the hangar and the work of erec- tion, including attachment of the superstructure of wings, power plant installation ang so forth, done on the slipway, from which the hig machine will nitimately he launched, Thus one branch of neronautical engineering fis fast coming to resemble marine eon- struction, and flying-boat *'yerds" promise soon to rank with the shipyards. From the airereft slip- ways will mbve a succession of big craft, able to cruise thousands of miles non-stop and to carry a heavy load swiftly and safely along the world's zea routes. In the perfeetion of these big mar- ine afreraft lies perhaps the great. est promise for the future of long distance airways, More efficient and faster than the airship, they should be able to operate regular services all over the world before many more years have elapsed, That the version of the "fying ship" is to be pursued to nctual- ity is clear from present purpose. ful development in this country. The next step, following the suc- cessful trials of the two 35-tons hoats, 1s already planned, A 60- tons boat designed for commercial operation of a transatlantic sery- ice, with a maximum range at a cruising speed of more than two miles a minute of no less than 2, 500 sea miles, is receiving official consideration, This air leviathan, | probably built largely of stain. less steel, will be planned to car ry passengers and a big load of luggage and malls in extreme comfort, with sleeping aceommo- dation resembling the passenger decks of an water-borne ship, Such a craft will be able to cross the Atlantic Ocean in less then 24 hours. And it by no means represents the limit of size; at least one British flying boat des signer has made preliminary cal- culations for the construction of # flying boat weighing mbore than 90 tons, ADVISES CANADA TRADE IN SOUTH AMERICAN FIELD Commissioner Sees Open- ing in Panama, Venez- uela and Columbia Montreal, Que ~~While the repub lics .of Vie 1d Colombia have felt the world-wide economic depression very keenly, both coun; tries have been singularly free from political disturbances and should, consequently, recover more rapidly than some of the other South Ame- rican republics, according to J. A. Strong, Canadian Trade Commis- sioner for Panama, Venezuela and Colombia, Interviewed when in Montreal recently to confer with local manufacturers over Canadian exports to those three countries, Mr, Strong expressed the opinion that Canada would do well to turn its eyes towards South America, view- ing nations on that continent as po- zuela mr { | tential markets of increasing value The trio of republies over which Mr, Strong's trade jurisdiction ex- tends grant no trade preferences to any nation, thus offering the Domin- jon of Canada sound oportunities of competing with Dutch, British and American manufacturing interests on an equal basis, Mr. Strong has been in Canada since August last, meeting manu- facturers throughout the country in an effort to encourage the Canadian exporting to the three South Ame- rican republics of such commodities as wheat, flour, milk, canned sal- mon, codfish, potatoes, confection. ery, paper products and newsprint, rubber products, leather, agricultu- ral machinery and tools, building and construction materials, alumin- um products copper wire, paints, cement, ete, SCOTTISH WOMAN CROWNED IN INDIA New Sultansh of Johore Was Magnificently At. tired for Ceremony London.~--In the magnificent Pal- ace at Johore Bharu the Sultanah of Johore, formerly Mrs, Helen Wilson, a Scottish widow, was crowned. The coronation was marked by impressive ceremonial attended by pageantry of colors and royal splendor, The Sultanah was attired in a shell-pink gown of Ve- negjan lace, cut to one of the latest European designs, Her corsage was ablaze with diamonds. Round her neck was a wide collar of flawless jewels, Her earrings reached al- most to her shoulders, "Does your Royal Highness ac- cept the crown of Queen of Johore, bearing the ancient device 'Unto God gaigned'} Do you ee to adopt Malay customs, and the reli. on of the State?"

Mr, Oliver sald he had not been approached or consulted and th his policies have not been changFa in any way, LEFT-HANDEDNESS SHOWS NO INCREASE . Montreal, Que --~Left-handedness Is not on the increase and never can be declared Dr, W, D. Tait professor of Psychology at McGill University, recently, "You cannot change nature," asserted Dr, Tait "and because many people who were originally left-handed and were taught to be right-handed, are now coming back to the use of the left hand, or because it is no longer found advisable to teach left-hand ed persons to be right-handed, ijt does not follow that left-handed ie from birth is on the increase." The t! cory that left-handed peo- ple who are" taught to be right- handed frequently become stutter ers is now definitely established," declared the McGill psychologist For this reason educators no long. er teach left-handed children to be otherwise." ; Asked as to the reason for left or right-handedness, Dr, Tait said that the accepted theory is that it is due to a pre-natal. condition, "If the child lies on the left side of the CHRISTMAS DINNERS ON THE HOOF Pert of the 76 head of ze beef cattle, stated to ve been the finest ever exhibited at the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, recently, and purchased by the Royal York Hotel for the Christ. mas and New Year's festivities, They include the first prize car- load of Hereford steers raised by the Mel: Ranching Company, Ltd, of Lethbridge; the svemd prize carload of Aberdeen A: Fae Klas', corn 3 ay's central farm at Coaldale, Alta.; the fourth carload of shorthorn steers from the Olds School of Agriculture, Alberta; snd the fifth prize car- , exhib by Colonel Robert London, Ont,, and a of ten lambs, McEwen, of prize carload mother," he said, "it has its left arg and hand very slightly cramped while there is freedom to develop the right arm and hand and vice versa OUTPUT OF CARS SHOWS INCREASE Dealers Are Are Receiving Sample Cars in Larger Volume New York, Dec, 14,--The grad ual resumption oi operation h automobjle manufacturers, (or the purpose of providing their dealer organizations with sam- ple cars by the end of the year, fs beginning to incrense the total of car output, and further ad vances are in prospect during the 1 veral weeke, says u cur rent survey by the Standard Stat ities Company of New York, "That relatively substantial gains will be registered during the period prior to the January auto mobile sh'aows 1s Indicated by the fact that only a few important an- nouncements of 1532 models have been made to date, "It Is not a foregone conclu. sion, however, that an uninter- rupted upward trend of motor L uf production will be witnessed from now until next spring. Rather, it is possible that, following the na- tional exhibits, at least a short period of relatively stable produc- tion, or even a moderates decline, will be recorded, uring this inter~ val, assembling schedules, we un- derstand, will be determined gole- ly by the actual consumer demand which develops." THIS YEAR BABIES MAY BE SMALLER Montreal --DBabies of the 1929. 1931 depression period, in cases where hard times have resulted in emi-starvation and lack of the ne- cessary food and care, are likely to he smaller in stature than children born in prosperous year, according to Dr, H, B, Cushing, head of the children's department of the Royal Victoria Hospital and professor of children's discases at Recit Uni- versity, On the other hand, states Dr. Cushing, in cases where depres- ion has not been severe enough to prevent proper nourishment for baby and mother it has necessitated closer budgetting, the result being that simpler, more wholesome foods are purchased for the child who is more likely to grow up healthier and stronger.
