It Came True For several wicks liie King of Dnn- mark had been trying to find a Silver Jublli'e march. One day tlie king was riding in Copcnliagen. His horse. up- Bet by the traffic, threw him.

Rivers Under the Earth A cottager m ar (lodeilLli, on Lake Huron, received word the otiier <iay that a wi.dl-driller hnd got water on his property. ''How do you kiimv that the water you lound Isn't lake water that ha.i Beeped through llio soil'?" ii)f|iiire(l the skeptical owner. 'Well, to begin Willi." f.iplaiiKd I bo driller, ''the land here Is about eighty feet aliovc- the level of the lake water, and I had to drill down nearly twice that distiince before 1 got water. Hiit If that doijiin't satisfy you, (.'ou-sider that tile water in tho well has risen to williin Hi.\ly feet ot the surfnco, iilthoiigh. an I have said, the lake level Is <'lglity feet below us. In other â- words, tho level of tho water in tho â- well is about twenty feet above tho level ot the lake. So I must havo struck a different source, a subter- raneaii river undnr pressure sufficient to push the water high up In your well." Convinced, tho cottager listened to the driller's claim that lie could drill ft well In the lake and gel a column of well water whoso level would bo higher than that of the like Itself.

NEWS PARADE Commentary on the HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS - By Peter Kaiidal Harlow Estate May Not Exceed $1C0,G00 Seventy three day ot the most ter- riblo siege in modern history ended this week as the insurgent columns of General Devila began the task ot "moppini up" the ancient Basque capital ot Bilbao. Fighting from house to house, the defenders still hang on grimly while refugees have moved down in thousands as they at- tempted to flee the city under the murderous iiro of tho Italian "Black Arrow'' column. An indication that the sieg- was actually over and that hope of starving oft the advancing mercenaries v.-aa over, was the depar- ture of the British consul from the city. He was rescued by British sail- ors from awaiting ship just outside the death swept harbor. Latest re- Iiorls say that General Franco is transferring his hordes in thousands to the Madrid front where another terrific pmh is forecast by the orders ot tho Loyalist commander who has requested all civilians to leave the city. FiRsncial Courage After ten mouths ot comparative stale mate, the Fascists seem to be geling somewhere in their attempts to subdue the will of the Spanish people. Just prior to the fall of Bil- bao, new hope was injected Into their councils by the announcement of a new loan obtained abroad for $1,500.- 000. The announcement was made by a former totacco smuggler, illiterate Juan March, chief civilian backer of the revolution. No one seems to know where it is to come from but there are many clcso guesses. Germany and Italy are in the po- sition ot having to throw good money after bad. So far. tho campaign has not been much of a success but fur- ther expenditure may turn the day. Tho fall of Bilbao seems to bear out this statement. • Beauty in Distress And in Germany, all is not v.-ell. Chancellor Hitler's close personal friend and the Director German State Motion Pictures, Lent Riefenstahl has been accused of having "non-Aryan" grandparents. In most countries, such a fault VN'ould not be ot any particu- lar importance but in Germany where the Nazis are enga.ged in stamping out their Jewish Intellectual class, the accusation Is the next thing to ruin. The charge was made by Propa- ' ganda Minister Goebbels at a social gathering. It has since been denied asl "pure invention". The interesting part ' for conjecture is just what Chancellor ' Hitler thinks about it all and juat what action he would take if he charge * proved to be true. It is well known ' that all of the women he may have known, which is not many, the beau- ' tiful actress la the favourite. » Disaster Echoes Strange how echoes of distant thun- -• der come close to home. Two weeks ago, financial circles were met with ' the announcement by Canadian paper producers that prices for fine papers and boards ivcre going up from $7 ^ to $10 per ton. Among the reasons given by manui'actorers for thiij rise (amounting to 8ci over last year) » was the scarcity of sulphite. Sul- , philQ Is the bleaching agout in the making of chemical wood pulp. Sul- ' phite is also a prime ingredient ot . e.xplosives. Apparently, the uianufac- ture of explosives is of more impor- ' lance in this unsettled world of to- ^ day than the manufacture of fine pa- per. * Crisis Averted ' And in France, a mild little man u has won an amazing victory and prov- ed thj strength of his government. * Faced by a firancial crisis occasion- • ed by a steady drain of gold because of unequal trade balancej. Premier '• Leon Blum has just won a vote of . confidence. Votes ot confidence are a feature ot tho French gov(.'rnmental * system and supporters of govern- • ments more cften than not turn, against their former colleagues on the slightost pretext. Such was the case* when Premier Blum's Co~.i.iunist' deputies ganged up against him only, to be met with surprising opposition from other section of the Chamber. ; The Government is now empowered • with extraordinary financial powers to » support the franc by rer-ulation of the discouut rale and a crisis v/hich * might have been of world importance * in view ot the delicate state ot at- . fairs has been averted, at least tor the time. HOLLYWOOD. - Jean Harlow's estate may not exceed $100,000, it was reliably reported. Unfortunate investments and heavy taxes on her salary during the past several years were given as the reasons why Miss Harlow died worth far less than the million dollars credited to her. The will :s understood to name Mrs. Jean Kello, Miss Harlow's mother, as principal beneficiary. Despite her tremendous drawing power. Miss Harlow's salary was said to have been $5,000 a week only for the past two years- Had it not been for her relatively moderate scale of living she would have left practically no estate, the same source reported. Insurance polic'ics comprise about half of the estate, it was under- stood.
