EARL BALDWIN OF BEWDLEY: The former Prime Minister of Eng- land, Barl Baldwin of fiewdley, ar- rived In New York 'ast week to at- tend the World Congress on Edu- cation toT Democracy at Teachers' College, Columbia University. At a special convocation Lord Baldwin received an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from Columbia. On his arrival he was asked many questions by members of the press. The seventy-lwo-year-old â- talesman stressed the importance of education tor democracy, saying "no democracy can survive unless the masses of the people have it in their minds that democracy is worth living for as well as worth flying for." Lord Baldwin would not com- ment on immediate prospects of war, except to observe that the gueetion of war or peace rests in the hands of one man . . . Hitler . . . whom he described as "a man with a great brain . . . and quite abnormal." BRAIN'S SUPPORT TO ITALY "MORAL": Recent news leads us to believe that reports that Spain Is already in the axis camp are doubtful. The elaborate celebration attending Italian Foreign Minister Count Clano's recent visit to Spain was more an indication of Franco's gratitude for Italian help during the civil war than an indication of his willingness to sign an ironclad military agreement. Since Ciano's return Italian diplomats have con- fided to Intimates that about the beet now hoped (or is "moral sup- port" In case of war, and a work- able trade agreement which would insure Italy raw materials. THE BRITISH WAY: Lord Maug- ham, British Lord Chancellor, and Lady Maugham arrived in Canada last week, Lord Maugham to attend the annual convention of the Can- adian Bar Association at Quebec. In an Interview he gave a trite pic- ture of "the British way." He said, "The European situation is nothing to get frantic about. Of course, in England each day seems to bring a new crisis. However â- ve've learned not to become excited. We just keep preparing." "As a matter of fact he added, "trade is exception- ally bright considering all things. It Is true that commercial industry has given many of its best workers and mechanics to (he cause of pre- paredness, but business is well able to carry on without noticeable ef- fect." "GANDHI'S EXPERIMENT": Last February, on the insistence of Ma- hatma Gandhi's powerful puiitanic- al Congress party a liquor law was passed by the Bombay Legislature. Gandhi regards drink along with Industrialism ... as one of India's chief problems. This month the (ormal introduc- tion of prohibition resulted in hun- dreds of extra police squads patrol- ling the streets of Bombay, enforc- ing order and law (especially the new law). Along with the enforce mcDt of prohibition a great propa- ganda campaign to popularize it got under way Special st.imps showing a snake twlne<l around a liquor bottle and drlppin.^ poison were Issued. Anti-drink labels were put on 14,000,000 match boxes. Bi-Products From Milk The Extensive Utility of Milk Many things are being made from milk quite apart from the us- ual dairy products. In Canada there «re several factories for making casein from milk and from casein other firms make buttons, imitation ivory, furniture glue, binder for paints, sizings and many other commodities. One factory buys whole milk, shims it and makes butter from the creams. The skim milk is used In casein; the lactose, or milk sugar, is used as a supplement in baby foods; the albumen is separated out and being rich in protein and Vitamin C, is used as an animal concentrate. In fact all that is left when this firm is done with milk is water. o NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER BAITCASTER VS. GOLFER Maybe it's the heat, but this seems to be the time of the year for all screwball bets and screwy contests. The latest of these cur- rent cut-ups, which should be of interest to anglers and golfers, consisting of a contest in which Dave Reddick, Ontario all-round casting champion, pitted his artis- try with the rod and reel against the prowess of Stanley Smith, golfer. The occasion for the unique ex- periment was the Montreal Elec- trotypers and Engravers annual golf field day at the St. Johns, Quebec, golf course. The plans called for a contest between Red- dick and the winner of the low gross in the tourney in a five-hole match under the rules and condi- tions Outlined below. .^t first it looked like a very in- teresting contest. Stanley Smith, who won the low g^ross honours, is a pretty fair golfer V7hile Reddick has cast over 280 feet in competi- tion and, vhen there is no wind prevailing, usually can average 240 feet per cast. Unfortunately, rain which swept the Montreal di.strict forced a halt to the odd match after only two holes had been played, each man winning one. Reddick used a baitcasting outfit and a % ounce plug. His casts on the fairways .were measured to the point where the plug stopped moving and on the greens where the plug struck the green. It was decided that if he hit within one foot of the cup it would be consid- ered in. A broken line- cost the caster an extra stroke while regu- lar golf rules governed Mr. Smith's activities with the one exception that he too could consider the ball "in" if it rolled within one foot of the hole. Reddick's caddy car- ried etwo extra rods which he used for accuracy casts when within striking distance of the green. The golfer conceded the first hole to the baitcaster when his ball bounced into the rough on his third stroke. Reddick hit the pin On his fourth cast, although the wind had greaetly affected his ac- curacy. The hole was 152 yards, par three. The second hole, 349 yards par four, went to the golfer when Red- dick broke his line and penalized a stroke, reaching the cup in sev- en. Smith cupped his ball in five. Before the contestants could finish the third hole in the five-hole match rain drove them to the shelter of the clubhouse and the argument still rages "Who would have won?" Woman should put in an eight- hour day d*- her job, whether it be just looking beautiful for her hus- band, a well known New York dress designer believes. "If she has to cook, keep house and bring up children, she should take pride in doing it. If she is wealthy and her business is only to be beauti- ful and make a delightful hostess, she should apply equally stern standards to that job," she said. BE^^ WIDE INTERESTS Once when Thomas A. Edison was visiting Luther Burbank, the naturalist asked him to sign his guest book. In addition to a col- umn for the names of the guests there was a column for home ad- dresses, another for occupations, and finally a column headed "in- terested in." In this last column Edison with quickness and firm- ness wrote: "Everything." â€" Chris- tian Science Monitor. CRIPPLING BLOW TO JAPAN When the United States surpris- ed the world by announcing the scrapping of the trade treaty with Japan, it took a step that can end in crippling the Japanese in China. As the United States has been shipping to Japan the large per- centage of war materials needed for the campaign in China, the stoppage of these shipments will put a crimp in the Japanese ac- tivities. Shipments won't cease at once, because six months are supposed to elapse before abrogation of the treaty. But Japan has been serv- ed notice that the Americans, as well as the British, are getting tired of being insulted. â€" Windsor Stmr. NEWS OF THE GNUS. The superintendent of a zpoo rang up the editor of a local pa- per. "We hav2 some news about the gnus," he said. "Do you mean it's new news?" tlie editor asked. "Yes. New news nbout the new Gnus." "But," protested te editor slight- ly embarassed, "all new is new." "Oh, we have some old gnus here," came th3 answer. "But I want to give you some new g^nu news about the new gnus that the old gnus have just got." "Will you please write it?" sug- gested the puzzled editor, "and send it in?" The superintendent complied and this is what he submitted: "I was trying to give you some gnu news about our two old grnus that have some baby gnus. Both the old gnus and the new gnus are do- ing very well. â€" Brantford Exposi- tor. NEAR OBSOLETE More and more, the word "o-bey" is being deleted from the feminine half of the marriage vows.

''Gold Age'' Relics Found In Sweden Three gold circlets believed to date from A.D. 500 have been found in the western part of Central Swe- den. This Is the first importani archaeological find In this district. The period to which the circlets are attributed is known to Swedish archaeologists as the Gold Age be- cause of the number of gold objects of similar date that have been also found, but this discovery is remark- able because of the amount of gold the circlets contain. Their fine workmanship also adds to their val- ue. To Be Added To State Collection The ornaments were turned up from under a stone slab by the owner of a farm who may now claim the gold value of his find when it is handed over to the State collections.
