Fd . Fr IRE . Now It's Scotland ' The Scottish Chambers of Com- niéree' rédently combined to produce an "Empire Magazine" for the pur of telling the Empire about ottish products. Scottish people with so many ties of relationship in Dominions" and colonies are deeply "interésted in Empiré trade. ey are most anxious to promote it. "In paying tribute to this combined effort of the Scottish Chambers of Commerce, the Hon, G."H. Ferguson, High Commisioner. 'for Canada inf. Britain says: © . "The ambiguity of the Scot is at all events a truism. His influence finds a vindication in the history of the world in general and particularly' . in the more momentous epochs of Imperial development, "I note therefore, with profound patisfaction the decision of the Scot- tish Chambers of Commerce not merely to proclaim the part which the Highlanders, Lowlanders and Is- landers are playing and have played in international affairs, but also to strengthen by every means in their power the practical ties of trade and industry which have been the pract- ical expression of' Scottish zeal' and Scottish "genius. _ "Such a move may hardly be in tradition of Scottish modesty, but _ thos are times when modesty in it- * gelf, is far from being a virtue. This period in Imperial affairs is em- phatically one ....The new drive for trade between Scotland and the Em- pire with all colors flying and every pipe and fife in full commission is " thus a contribution not only to Scot- Jand's weal but to that of the Empire as a whole." Scotland's commerce is of recent growth, Not much more than a cen- tury ago men were her chief ex- ports. Scotland's commercial rela- tionship with the rest of the world has been accomplished with the aid of banking--an art she had brought to Europe in the 12th century. . "The prudent manipulation of fin- ance demands a high standard. of judgment. Scottish bankers -nurtur- ed on porridge and the Shorter ~ Catechism (with the multiplication table printed on its back) were well endowed with these qualities. Thus it is not surprising that they have been successful. Air Route i BB; London -- The Timor Sea, which Hor centuries has been the home and breeding ground for sharks is to be cleared, This {s because the Timor Sea, fol- lowing the recent flights to Australia 18 to become the great international airway to the south, Sharks -are so numerous in this great stretch of water which lies be- ' tween. Timor--an island owned by Portugal and Holland--and the almost "uninhabited north Australian coast that a small ship was crushed by them a few months ago. 2 _ No one has intérferéd with them, and they have multiplied enormously. Forty-seven Timorese ruling rajahs aré lending their ships and men for the great hunt, which it is hoped will reduce the numbers of these sea monstérs as to minimize the peril to airmen and their passengers, or drive them to aréas still inused by man, It is expected that Dutch and Port- uguese naval airmen using bombs and special guns, will take part in the hunt. ; Wild beasts have to be ousted from their strongholds, Forty, years ago tigers roamed from the Ghats into "the outskrts of Bombay, now the se- cond city of the Empire. Civilization scared them away, ~ The Maharajah of Gwalior still shoots tigers before breakfast, but he now has to drive in his British lim- ousine for 20 miles before he finds 'any. ; Ships taking part in the shark hunt will take the dead sharks ashore, for shark fins are a delicacy, shark oll is valuable and shagreen, the hard skin of the'shark is used for polishing of wood. -- nn a nt Curious World 5% months' old pullet at Walt- han, Herts, hag laid a 6% oz. egg, probably a record weight and size for any fowl, ; The corner-stone of a house at Lostwithiel, Cornwall, displays this notice: "Walter Kendall founded _ this house and hath a lease for 3,000 years which had beginning Sept. 29, 1662."

'Scholarship Not _ Always Awarded To Best Students Many a Canadian medical student cherishes the high ambition one day! to be able to take post-graduate work at the University of Vienna. This! term, at the University of Alberta, sees the uncommon anomaly of a Vienna student continuing his studies at a Canadian university. Emmerich Munz met in Vienna and: married Melmi Silbermann, home is at Barons, Alta, and who was studying medicine in the Austri- an capital. He decided to take his fourth year in Edmonton, going on to Paris or Edinburgh or perhaps back to Vienna next year. : "When one: 'ravels;' he e-plained to a student reporter, "one's philos- ophy is broader, but thé person who always must live in the one country must have the philosophy of his newspaperman." : ms Munz told of many differences in university life on the continent. There the student, rather than the professor, is the important part of a university. If the. professor is no good, no students attend his classes. about one-third of the - student body in Vienna are women. Scholarships are not necessarily. awarded to the best students but to many deserving poor. Fewer Families on Relief It is satisfactory to know that there were 1,069 fewer families on relief in Winnipeg on November 10 than at the same time last year. . . The number of families on relief has declined continuously since last Winter until the present time, On June 2 there were 7,146 families re- celving relief; on" September 1 there were 5,995, and on November 10 there were 5,979, or 16 fewer fami- lies than two months ago.~~Winnipeg Free Press. ans ee Sia assisted by Walter Johnston in the'|- whose: You Curtis: "I would like to some old-fashioned loving."

Simple to arrange and easy to keep in place, it gives the girl with bobbed hair a chance to wear a long-haired coiffure if and when she desires, A thick braid is the only absolutely necessary requirement. If you sav- ed your long hair when you had it bobbed the first time, have a braid made out of it, If not, you may buy one that matches the color and tex- ture of your own locks, Brush the hair back smoothly from the forehead and arrange rows and rows of tiny curls across the back and around the ears. Then put the braid up over the crown of your head so that the ends of it reach just in front of each ear, disappearing under the curls. Pin the braid firm- ly to the curls and to the smooth hair on top of your head as well. For formal occasions fasten small jewel- led stars in the braid. is even more simple. Part your hair down the middle of the back of the head, driving it into two equal parts. Braid each section and then, crossing the braids at the back, bring them up over the top of the head and pin them in place.
