T, Eyston, of England, feels that at almost 360 miles an hour he virtually has reached the ceiling of land speed. His chief rival, John Cobb; also of London, holds however that there is no limit to the rate of motion man can attain on the ground. Eyston last month was officially timed at 347.16 miles an hour as he rocketed his Thunderbolt auto- mobile through the measured mile on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. “I’ve figured it out scientifical- ly,” said Eyston, “and I don’t think a land speed of much more than 360 miles an hour is possi- ble. “Racing tires to hold up at greater speeds can’t be built. At 360 the outside of the tire is trav- elling at the speed of sound, about 700 miles an hour. If they were- n’t completely shielded, the wind alone would rip them wide open. “Wouldn’t Live to Tell it” “After you pass 300, the graph of danger rises almost vertically, and the graph of car and engine performance drops, rapidly. Man won’t go much faster than 360 on land and live to tell about it.” In the picture, Captain Eyston (Centre) is shown as he climbed from his racing monster after making the 347-miile record. Hews Parade By Elizabeth Eedy SICK MAN NO MOREâ€"No long- er can Turkey be called “the sick man of Europe.” Under the prod- ding of Dictator Kemal Ataturk, the patient has taken up his bed and begun to walk. Turkey is now a modern, efficiently-run state, with a string of defensive alliances and non-aggression - pacts extending from mid-Asia to mid-Europe. It has suddenly become a key nation whose recovery from “sickness" is a matter of vital interest to all the other nations of Europe. Tn pre-war days, Turkey was tied with Imperial Germanyâ€"today, things are the other way about,. If anything, Turkey is on the side of the democracies, becoming increas- ingly cordial with Great Britain and France (Britain recently lent Turkey money for rearmament). She hag a friendly alliance with So- viet Russia, strategically important. But here’s the main point for the present: aà a potential leader of the states of the Balkan Entente (Yugoslavia, Greece, Ruina nia and Turkey) and Bulgaria, Turkey can swing that corner of Europe into line against the Rome-Berlin axis, can block German expansion down the Danube towards the near-East. For the League can never expect to act as a powerful force in the world again, till all the nations get behind it and push whole-heartedly, for peace. MOTIVE UNKNOWNâ€"A Ger- man pilot taken prisoner last week by the Loyalist army in Spain re- veals that Germany has been plan- ning to withdraw all her airmen and air technicians from Spain be- fore the first of October. This story, if true, raises a dozen questions. Does Hitler beliève that Franco’s cause is doomed? Is it a case of rats leaving a sinking ship? Or is Hitler leaving Musso- lini to carry on, double-strength, in Spain? Perhaps the airmen are to be used elsewhere,, on some more important front? FUTILE EXPEDITIONâ€"Sailing last .week to Europe went six Cana- dians, delegates to the League of Nations September session in Ge- neva. Led by Right Hon. Ernest Lapointe, they set their faces to- wards thé East and the inferno of European politics, with little hope in their hearts. END OF HARVESTâ€"The farm- ers of Ontario, breathing a collec- tive sigh of relief at the satisfac- tory size of the crops, have garner- ed in all their grainâ€"what the grasshoppers, the army worms, rust and hail storms didn’t get. Barns are pleasingly plump with the. harvest, and now for thresh- ing! Here’s where the womenfolk on Ontario’s farms don’t get a break. From dawn to dark it’s nothing but cooking, serving meals, washing up for a gang of hungry (oh boy!) workers. Some farm housewives have to bake as many as a dozen pies a day during the busy season. And all of them have to be like “mother used to make,” or else. Won’t they be glad to see sum- mer end, and the “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness" (Keats) begin ! The women of Rhodesia want cremation introduced there. Would Build Up Big Food Reserve Vast Storage Plan for Great Britain Is Submitted by Pro- fessor Keynes â€" Scheme of Warehouses Full of Canad- ian Foodstuffs The plan submitted by Professor John Maynard Keynes to the Brit- ish Association for the Advance- ment of Science calling for stor- ing in the United' Kingdom vast quantities of Canadian wheat and other surplus empire foodstuffs and raw materials was generally approved last week in the press, though there were a few dissent- ing notes. Professor Keynes’ paper esti- mated the United Kingdom could store £500,000,000 worth of goods at an annual cost of £20,000,000. He mentioned, specifically Cana- dian wheat, British West Indies sugar, Indian Jute, Australian wool, West African vegetable oils and various metals. “Better Than Gold Mine” Professor Keynes, food storage . adviser to the 1 government, said such reserves in war “would be better than a gold mine.” The News Chronicle, Liberal, considered the plan had undoubt- LIFE’S LIKE THAT MRS.

VOICE OF THE PRESS CANADA the auspices of the Lions Club and that is a great, achievement. It is something that never will be for- gotten and, in the future may make the difference between life and death for themselves and oth- ers.

SOLEMN THOUGHT The motor-car has almost done away with the horse, but not with the ass.â€"Montreal Star. A DESERTED VILLAGE? Toronto is trying to solve its traffic problems. One way of course would be to bar from the streets all cars not fully paid for. â€"Peterborough Examiner. CRUMB OF COMFORT Another new mental hospital is being constructed at St. Thomas, the fourteenth in Ontario. No one need fear that he cannot be ac- commodated. There will be room for all of usâ€"Hamilton Spectator. Mark Sears, object of an all- night search by police officers fol- lowing the Shooting of his broth- er, Thomas, at the latter’s farm near Bexley, Ont., surrendered to police after spending the night hidden in the dense woods sur- rounding his farm. He allegedly shot, his brother through the hip as the outcome of a dispute over land and then fled. THEORY AND PRACTICE If there ever was anything that appeared to promote our sense of humor more than a baldheaded barber recommending to his pat- rons a tonic in his shop as a sure restorer of hair, It was a speaker to ; rural audiences who had left the old homestead and is now en- joying a salary of $5,000 to $6,000 a year, advising boys to be sure not to leave the old farm.â€"Ches- ley Enterprise, LEARN TO SWIM Around two hundred boys and girls have learned to swim under THE SMALL TOWN Roger Babson, statistician and publicist, hit the headlines recent- ly by advising university gradu- ates not to get married hastily but to get a job in a small town and to put their savings into a small farm. The Financial Post commenting agrees that the small town has always been a good place to live, “Today, any disadvantages it may have had as to distance and isolation have disappeared. Traditional qualities of friendli- ness, freedom and fresh air have been enhanced by most of the amenities of ‘city’ life.”..... Those of us living in small towns, and sometimes, looking long- ingiÿ'toward the glitter of the IrA. city should realize that after all the big city romance of living is where your friends are neighbors and your neighbors all friends. Only the small towns give that. -â€"Swift Current (Sask.) Sun. The EMPIRE SAD BUT TRUE The present generation is cin- ema-minded and radio-minded. He would be a rash man, however, who would say it would'be imma- terial to national interests if these forces were so potent as to colour a.,d influence the public mind to the detriment of logical thinking. We rather fear that an adorable film star in a questionable cause would carry a public election at the expense of an ordinary and less attractive mortal, irrespective of the spotlessness of the latter’s banner. Such would represent the dethronement of reason.â€"Belfast Telegraph. THE WONDERLAND OF OZ vijaf- :# VUncle:HqnprvShd.Aunt Bin start- oil Calone to xplcne the grounds.

They were very happy, indeed, as they looked at the gorgeous flow- ers and shrubs, feeling that their new home was more beautiful than any tongue could describe. Sud- denly, as they turned a corner and walked through a gap in a high hedge, they came face to face with an enormous lion which crouched upon the lawn and seemed surpfis- echhy-thelr appearance. They stop- ped short. " Uiicle Henry trembled with horror and Aunt Em was too terrified to scream. The next moment the poor wo- man clasped her husband around the neck cryingâ€"“Bave me, Henry, save me!” '‘Can’t even save my- self, Em," he returned in a husky voice. “The animal looks as though it could eat bath of us and lick his chops for more. If 1 only had a gun." “Haven’t you, Henry? Haven’t you?" she asked, anxious- ly. “Nary a gun, 15m. 1 knew our luck wouldn’t last.” “I won’t die! I won’t be eaten by a lion!" wailed Aunt Em, glaring at the huge beast. Then a thought struck her and she whispered: “Henry some sav- age beasts can be conquered by the human eye. I’ll eye that lion and save our lives." “Try it, Em,” he returned, also in a whisper. “Look at him as you do at me sometimes.” Aunt Em turned, upon the lion a wild dilated, eye. She glared at the immense' beast steadily and the lion, who has been blinking at them quietly, began , to appear uneasy and disturbed. “Ts anything the matter, ma’âm?" he asked in a mild , voice,.
