WHEN TWENTY WAS FAST. Among the gleanings from its tilc.t of a quarter-century ago In the Keii- fiew Mercury is an item telling ot tho lining of an Ottawa motorist oharged with travelling through thu town at a rate of twenty miles an hour. In his own defimce the mo- torist asserted that his cui.toniary siH'od was fifteen miles in tho coun- try and ten miles on town and City streets. One wond(M-s if the speeds of fifty or flfty-fivo miles mentioned in cases of excessive speeding in our courts today will seem bo amus- ingly low to the readers of twc^nty. five years ago columns in the news, papers of 19C0. â€" Kingston Whig- Standard. SPEED COMES LAST. A group of automobile manufac- turers has asked a million niotorist.s to list t.'.ie qualities they moat desire in a motor car. The replies are rather surprising, rirst and foremost these million motorists emphatically say they want dependability. In overwhelming m;ijority the motorist likes to feel that his old car will keep on running, month in and month out. wibh a mlni- numi of balking, breakdown and re- pairs. The second riMHiiieiiient is econo- my, which is closely allied to de- pendability. Third comes safety, which also is very largely a nialtor of mechanical dependability insofar as it is a quality of the in.achine itself. .N'cxt in order motorists voted for comfort, appearance, ease of con- trol, low first cost, smoothness, pick-up, and last of all, speed. â€" Winnipeg Tribune. EDUCATE THE ADULT. An adult educational plan such as Ihat fostered by the I'rovincial C.ov- ernment and a group of education- ists in Manitoba has an immediate value and one that is prospective. It encourages men and women to lake an interest in other things than possessions; and it gives th(Mn greater sympathy with education for youth.

Two voices are crying in the Em- pire. One is crying earnestly for a maintenance of peace. Tho oilier is crying tho demand for the prepara- tlun of defence. The two voices aro creating a discord.

But German Models Smiling Again Before Prime Mnlster Bennett Ictt for the seaside I'^st week to rest up before getting into the election cam- paign ho announced a number ot long-awaited appointments, with the exception, however, of cabinet ap- pointments. These he is expected to announce upon his return. Ten Senate vacancies were filled by Mr. Bennett, and included in the list was Mrs. Iva CampDell Fallis ot Peterborough, Ontario, wife of a far- mer. Her appointment makes the second woman to sit In tlio Bed Chamber. Mrs. Fallis has worked un. tiringly for the Bennett Government, and tiie iionor bestowed upon her Is regarded to be well merited.

The scheme also aims to stabilize the price of milk entering into the manufacture of cheese at a somewhat higher level than can be realized from t<he proceeds of the site of cheese. A fund has been provided by Parliament out of which it is in. tended that payments on the basis ot the quantity of cheese manufactured will he made. Farmers who desire such payments must apply to the Dairy and Cold Storage Commission- er, Department ot Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Payments received by factorioj from t?.\e dairy prcducts equalization fund must be apportioned among milk suppliers In the same manner as proceeds from the sale of cheese.

Distant Star Hottest Place ai Cambridge, Mass. â€" .\n unnamed, far off star, who.se surface tempera- ture is ISO.OOO degrees Fahrenheit, the highest heat ever measured any- where, was described to the con- ference on spectroscopy recently at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- iiidogy. The sun's surface is barely 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest temperatures, previously reported, all on stars, were 35,000 to 40,000 degrees Fahrenheit. A blue ribbon â€" the distant star's ultra-violet lightâ€" revealed the in- ferno. This star is a peculiar object. It is a sun surrounded by a nebula, which in the telescope looks like a haloâ€" a star surrounded by some- thing like the ring around the moon. It was this vjng or nebula which made it possible to read the tempera- ture with new instruments and new nielhods. These were described by Dr. I. S. Bowen, of the California Institute of Technology. The temper- ature rending, he said, was made by Zanstra, u Dutch astronomer. The new method calculates the heat in a fashion analogous to study- ing a fire hidden under a tent, but hot enough so that some of its light might be dimly seen through thin spots in the enveloping fabric. The star tent is the nebula around it. This nebula is believed to be a cloud of gas. Only the invisible rays from this gas cloud are used to calculate tem- peratures. Tli'jy arj ultra-violet and the new instrument which make this clear detection possible is an alum- inum coated mirror, a device per- fected at Cornell University. Aluminum catches ultra-violet rays better than anything previously us- ed. Some of the ultra-violet rays caught in the alumir.liiu mirror are exceptionally strong. These rays are quite accurately calculated by the aid of the star tent. It is the cal- culation of their energy wliich re- veals the enormous heat of the ttat's surface. They Don't Have To Do Year's Compulsory Farm Labor Berlin â€" Mannequins in the Third Reich are smiling again â€" they can stick to displays of fur coats and beautiful gowns and avoid blister:n^ hands and feet out on a farm doing one-year compulsory labor scrvic:. The fate of the beauties and cutie& who parade winter fashions in sum- mer and vice ver'^a, and sell frocks with smiles and streamlined figures, looked pretty black for a time when the Nazis commanded that every girl between 18 and 2.5 should get a taste of hard work by being "assigned" to a farm to learn anl work. But this calamity, as the itia.ine- ([uins looked at it, has been happily avoided for their part because the powers that be have recognized that beauty and a streamlined curve are, after all, a rare comoodity, and one that cannot be provided from the rank and file of womanhood of Ger- many. Fashion shops left no stone unturned to convince authorities that a husky and heavy-footed maiden may have the best "haus-fi'au" quali- ties in the world, but that brawny arms and milk-maid hips do not a mannequin make. So, without putting it down on paper beyond recogniz- ing the manncqudn profession as amongst those where an individual is specially qualified, the authorities have left Dame Fashion keep its mannequins. As a matter of fact, the manne- quins in Germany always have held a sort of privileged position, for girls with the bowing acquaintance with beauty are not too numerous. Con- sequently, a mannequin in Germany can snap her fingers at the boss, and if she doesn't like the atmosphere or conditions in her shop she knows that other jobs are waiting. Like all other "laborers" in Ger- many, the mannequin is organized and the same protective labor laws apply to her as to the oflice sec- retary. For yt'ars the same girls will bo seen doing their stuff in the same fashion shops, and buyers making the rounds usually insist on having gowns and furs displayed by "Fraulein Schmidt, who worked here when I was here some years ago." A customer coming from foreign shores, where he is perhaps accus- tomed to giving the manneiiuins the "oiicc-over" and subsequently picking one for a date that evening, is cer- tain to find himself sadly disappoint- ed, however. He gets a cold stare in return for tho glad eye, and thumbs down on his date. If the untutored customer should insist in getting in tho mannetiuin's way, it is not un- common in German fashion shops to request him to take his trade else- where. For mannequins in the land of pretzels and beer, to say the least, are independent. Perspiring Writer Corrects Poem on Canada's Snows (From the Toronto Star) In that well-known English pub- licatiiiii The Bystander there is a poem with the title "John Buchan" which repeats an old old libel upon Canada, a similar slander to that voiced centuries ago by a dis- tinguished Frenchman who describ- •d H as "a few arpcnts of ice." This time it is a poet who throw* the snowballs; not the first poet to do so, either, for Rudyard Kipling pinned the nickname "Our Lady of the .Snows" on the Dominion. In a sense the Dominion is all that the nickname implies â€" in Winter. But, when a poet suggests that Winter I conditions prevail the year round, Canadians make strong dissenting: ' noises. j That, unfortunately, is what B. W. ' seems to intimate in his Bystander verses. Explaining, with respect to: Lord Tweedsmuir, that "politics have meant to him much more than Just a passing whim," the bard goes on to say: "And that is why John Buchan goes To Canada's eternal snows, For now our author holds a great .^nd honored cfiice in the State." The trouble with the word "eternal" is that it is apt to be misunderstood. The poet may have meant that Canada's climate will always be a snowy one â€" in Winter. .Ail right. So it is, and Canadians should not be afraid to say so. We are altogether too apt to have an inferiority complex with regard to our glorious and stimulating Winter temperatures. But to many readers the poet's "eternal will convey the idea that it is always snowy here. If he really thinks so, it would bo fine to have him in Toronto now, to watch his collar wilt and face break out into beads of perspiration. It would be delightful to see him go and drink a lot of â€" a lot of what- ever he does drink â€" only to find him- self hotter and more perspiring than before. Then he could listen to the weather man explaining over the radio that it really isn't the heat, but just the humidity. And some health sharp would tell him that tho way to keep cool is to avoid work and worry and food. All the time he would be getting hotter and hotter and repenting more and more thor- oughly that he had ever fashioned a line about "Canada's eternal snows." He would, no doubt, feel impelled to rewrite his poem. "And that is why John Buchan eats 'Mid Canada's infernal heats. Where Winter's Winter sure enough, But Summer a quite diff'rent stuff." Different indeed! B. W. would want to kick himself, but wouldn't have enough energy left to do it.

EDWARDS KING OF SWAT George (Babe) Herman Ruth, tbat phenomenal home-ruu hitter was the most majestic figure iu modernday major league ba-eball.

The Babe was a pitcher at the be- ginning of his career. But his hitting prowess came quickly to tilie fore. The popular slugger, who for 1931 and, 193-' had a contract tor $100,OIMI is never too busy to autograph 1 score card for the dirty-faced kids all of whom are Ruth's pals. In 1927 he slammed 60 drives oui of the parks in the American Leaguo an all-time mark. Throe times dur. ing his career he hit 3 home run* in one game, 2 being In World Serle^ contests in 1926 and 1928. j The Babe led the American leagaJ in home-runs tor 12 seasons. Foul times he hit over 50 homers. He hi] 40 homers 11 times. He has received more bases on balls and struck ouj more times than any player listei in the records. | Due to tihe tremondous crowds ibl Yankees drew from 1920 to the 1931 the Yankee Stadium was popularU Cttilcd.
