2 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT.. THURSDAY, NOV; 15, 1928 Canada Grows in I Esteem of Europe Major G. W: Stephens Home After Four Months Abroad RETURN TO MONTREAL Former Head of Saar Commission Reports Financial Stability Major George Washington Stephens, who resigned his position of President oi 'he Government of the Saar a year ago, returned to Montreal recently after a four-months' trip to Europe. He has come back impressed with the rapid return to more normal economic conditions and financial stability that Europe is making, and the desire on the part of the various nations for a peaceful settlement of the problems that still remain in abeyance. "Canada Is still the greatest country In the world to me--it is a land of freedom and progress, and I am happy to be back again," Mr. Stephens said "In Europe the position of Canada is becoming more and more important and this can be readily understood when you look at the figures and see how her trade is developing. The country, too,, is capturing the Imagination of people who wish leave old traditions behind and to start a new life in a land that gives them, opportunities under conditions of freedom that they have perhaps never experienced before. And, this is all going to react to the benefit of Canada. Signing of Pact "Perhaps the greatest single event of the year in Europe was the signing of the pact to outlaw war, but other steps are being taken to strengthen and make powerful the desire for peace. A new organization Is the International Acadamey of Diplomacy, which has been established as a world forum for the study and discussion of international problems. Sixty-six countries have joined this new association and its membership includes two former presidents of France; 12 former prime ministers; 30 foreign ministers; 14 ministers of state; 23 ambassadors; 28 plenipotentiary ministers; five members of the International Court of Justice, and ten former presidents of the League of Nations. "This list includes a few of the countries who have joined togethei in an effort to promote the peace of the world and from it you will that nations both large nad small have shown their interest by joining group of men in forming a world forum where international problems can be discussed in perfect freedom and in an atmosphere of goodwill. "It is significant that this movement is world-wide and the desire to bring all nations together through the medium of prominent citizens from each country has been responded to almost with unanimity. In this way experts in international questions will contribute their experience and devote their work to the study of solutions of the world's greatest problems. The composition of the academy, which will meet four times a year in Paris, inspires the hope that its work will provide a useful contribution toward solving the great problem of international co-operation. "It has long been agreed that the distinguishing feature between diplomacy and politics is the art of negotiation, but this are alone seems no longer able to solve the many problems that arise between nations. Great principles and their elaboration require a collective and exhaustive study. The fact that war has been outlawed will probably not rid the world immediately of its scourge, but It is an encouraging note in the dawning of a new civilization with world-peace as the cornerstone, that this forum ahs been established wherein by reflection and analysis tentative solutions may be discovered for the re moval of international difficulties. It Is a matter of some pride that, Canada has associated herself with this effort, to promote peace "As regards the Saar, the position to-day is that things are running smoothly and well and 1 am quite happy about the state of affairs there. "In the Rhine area there are still 80,000 French, 12,000 British and 6,000 Belgian troops and they will remain,; I suppose, until the major that still confront Europe justed. Internal Conditions "iSKl'Jial COnflU^S? hi Germany are pernaps not ail that might'be desired , as the country is disturbed through. ( the raising of railway rates and the agitation that has sprung up for an | all-round increase in the rate of I wages. On the other hand, externally ! Germany is on a distinctly better foot- j ing as regards her relations with j other countries, especially from the; economic standpoint. She is now i rated as the third largest ship-own |:g i power in the world, so this shows' the progress she has made. Zeppelins are wonderful, and I saw j the Graf Zeppelin at Lake Constance \ before her trans-atlantic flight. Any spectator at her trials cannot fail to j have been impressed with the idea1 that the soul of a new means of trans- j portation is being created. The 'Graf is Germany's 127th Zeppelin, so, in judging the progress the country has] made in the development of air transport, this fi-.ot must not be forgotten, espec'jl.'y when Germany is being compared r.ith Britain. She has great experience behind her and she has specialized to such an extent that an actual voyage across the Atlantic and back with passengers has been accomplished. But, I cannot see any possibility of even a chance that airships will compete commercially with steamships for many years to eome:' Use Right Fuel and Anti-Freeze Then Owner-Driver Will Have Little Trouble During Winter NEED NOT BE LATE Excuse "Couldn't Start My Engine" Will No Longer Go There's no doubt about it, all the hopeless, futile struggling to start car on a winter morning is tri And the tragedy, from the point of view of the automotive engineer that so much of the struggle is necessary, It is, he says, the prodi of the car owner's failure to prepare his car for cold weather, Just how many of those unforgettable instances of "couldn't start the car" that are whispered into the boss's ear when one reports late to work could be wiped off the records by changed attitude on the motorist part no one can say. But, everyon can say with certainty that many could thus be deleted. The essential reform with respect to putting the car into condition for winter has but one beginning point; namely, the realization that cold weather makes a great deal of difference to the motor car. This would seem too emphatically obvious to deserve mention--yet service and repair establishments do a good business thawing out and repairing radiators and cylinder blocks because motorists realize too late the need for an antifreeze. Every year it's the same Following an orderly procedure, the motorist will find that the task of preparing the car for winter or having someone else prepare it is neither expensive nor a difficult one. Anti-Freze It begins with having an anti-freeze solution put into the cooling system-and that, too, before the mercury drops so low that the contents will freeze. There are numerous antifreeze solutions. The favored ones are denatured alcohol and glycerine, although chemically both are alcohols. The glyecerine products are sold ui deder a wide variety of trade names. In their unread counsel in the instruction book they give to the buyer, most manufacturers suggest either one of these solutions as an anti-freeze. In some cases, the higher viscosity of the glycerine solution puts a burden on the water pump of the car and that militates against its u The cases are rare, however, and, far as is known, do nat apply to a of the later cars. Glycerine and a.tohol each has virtues and defects. The former, cc ing more initially, is not subject to evaporation losses. The latter is--but then, to its advantage, it costs Many are willing to pay the higher original price for glycerine to avoid the necessity of having to go i filling station to have the adequacy of the protective solution tested at regular intervals. Many others are not. It is a matter of choice, but an understanding of both solutions should facilitate the individual's selection. And the Right Fuel Then, there is the fuel system. If it is not functioning perfectly from gas tank filler-pipe to -nanifold parts, the motorist might as well get. set now for a hard winter. The fuel system is a chain of lines, valves', floats and the like. They are fine, precise, hard-working units, but a little dirt here and there, or a maladjustment somewhere along the line will quickly and dangerously diminish their effectiveness. The motorist probably need look back no further than last winter to realize the truth of this statement. In looking, however, he is advised also to learn. The lesson, of course a have the fuel system cleaned and adjusted so that it may function freely and in the proportion needed when the mercury is nestling against zero or thereabouts.

While they had only a few miles to travel to Giggleswick, Yorkshire, last year to witness the total eclipse, this year they must go to Malaya. The track of the 1929 eclipse cuts across the northernmost part of Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, the southernmost part of French Indio-China and the Philippine Islands, and ends in the Pacific Ocean. Col. Waley Cohen, a member of the expedition, has inspected the site& for two camps. They are situated at Alor-star, the capital of Kedah, and Patani, in southern Siam. Already the grounds of the observatory here are crowded with equipment and wooden huts and shelters to protect the scientists from wind, rain and sun. In one corner, swathed in tarpauline, is the telescope which Dr. J. Jackson, one of the leaders of the expedition, has ordered specially for his own use. It is 21 feet in focal length with arrSperture of 7 inches. The advance party of the expedition ■will sail for Malaya on February 16.
