THE WORLD AT LARGE of the CANADA THE EMPIRE "PRESS CANADA .Unconquered In olden times a rainy spell would 'hardly prevent a farmer from sow- inz his fields, flinging the seeds abroad by hand. In this highly mechanized age, however, conditions have to be just so or the machines will not work, We haven't yet con- quered nature.--~Edmonton Journal. What Conscience Does A pleasing bit of news from God- erich announces that a local nona- genarian in receipt of an 'old-age pension is trying to make some re- turn for it by destroying weeds in vacant lots and fence corners. This pensioner may be old, but his con- science remains active. Further in- terest will be aroused by his com- ment: "The weed inspectors are sup- posed to look after this; but- the trouble is. they don't." ----- Toronto Globe.

British Columbia Apples British Columbia apples made the largest single eontribution, $5,201, 400 to the gross value of the Can- adian 19356 fruit crop. Nova" Scotia, with a somewhat larger production bit a lower value per barrel, was a good second, - $4,266,000, while Ont- ario's apple crop, $1,999,220, was the only other item that passed the mil- lion-dollar mark. However, Quebec apples yielded the highest returns to growers with an average of $4 per barrel.--Country Life in B.C, Plowing by Radio No longer need the plowman honieward plod his weary way, if a radio controlled tractor plow, which an American company has produced proves commercially feasible. This ultra-modern plow is ped with equip- an ultra-short wave re- ceiver. Instead of riding a jolting tractor seat across his land, the farmer of tomorrow may sit quietly inside a watch tower and before him will be a simple switch-board. By merely turning the knobs he can guide the course of the machine so long as it is under his observation. If he. finds sitting in the watch tower somewhat tedious, he can dream of the day when each farm will have its television equipment and the plowman will be able to do his plowing while lying in bed. -- Moncton Transcript.

What is a Drug Store? With the modern drug store handl- ing most every line of merchandise and in some cases catering to certain services this question has been up for argument from time to time. It is on the way to solution, how- ever. In Detroit Circu t Judge Theo- Core J. Ritchie has been asked to make a ruling in a suit brought by the Graham-Paige Co., owners of a building in Woodward avenue in that city against Frank . Upright, * pro- prietor of a drug business in the building, who recently installed a lunch counter in his store. The Graham-Paige Co., acted after William Kactopodes, owner of a restaurant in the same building, had sued for $25,000, charging that the motor company had violated the pro- visions of his lease which gave him exclusive restaurant privileges; in the building. Kastopodes asserts that the 'druggist costs him $25 worth of business daily by selling sandwiches and other food. Journal. Seasickness ~ A Vancouver man on his way to Europe was _experiencing - seasickness for the first time. Calling his wife to his bedside, he said in a weak voice: "Jennie, my will is in the trust company's car. Everything is left to you, dear. My various stocks you will find in my safe deposit box." Then. he said fervently: "And Jen- nie, bury me on the cther side. I can't stand this trip again, alive or dead."--Edn.onton Tournal. " Police Awards It is an unfortunate fact that no | form of deddration for acts of brav- ery on the part of peace officers appears. to be in existence in Can- ada. While the average policeman will look on deeds of courage per- formed in the face of extreme danger as being in the customary routine of duty, it would, nevertheless, be a soJice of gratification to his relatives --and iacidentally, to the organiz- t tion of which he is' a member -- if some signal token" of appreciation such as a medal were to be granted for acts of individual bravery. This especially applies in cases where a policeman lays down his life in the execution of his duty as hapjened in the recer! case of Constuble John Lewis of the Sarnia police force, when engaged-in the apprehension of a notorious eriminal during a liquor store hold-up. Many deeds of supteme courage ure performed by peace officers throughout the lengtt and breadth of the Dominion, and the bestowal of a token of appreciation of this nature for gallent service performed would appropriately signify the ap- preciation of the sta e and of the public wliose interests they serve. -- R.C.M. Quarterly. ° Daylight Saving Already, this year, several places which had decided to go on "fast" time have reversed their intentions, whil: others which had "sworn off", have changed their minds and de- cided to go on, after all. --St. Thomas Timess Thus, with cities and towns, here, there and everywhere, running on schedules adopted for a wide variety of reasons, good or bad, the general situation is confusing in the extreme. Surely it is time the Government of Ontario took this question into serious consideration, - weighed the arguments and passed legislation de-' signed to dispose, once and for all, of the existing inconvenient and in- efficient Alice in Wonderland mixup. |. --Brantford Expositor. "THE EMPIRE Hay Fever The simple announcement. that a naw cure for hay fever has been dis- covered is not in: itself likely to-raisg unduly 'the hopes of those who suffer from the disease. There have beén too many cures. , . , Yet if the disillusioned can bring themselves to read further, there is something pro-' mising in the latest discovery. . . . The treatment consists of a coating of ironized zinc to th. inside of the nostrils (where the irritation starts), and after three or four applications the majority of patients are render- ed free from attack for 4 year. If the treatment is repeated three years running "there is usuali:* no recur- rence of the trouble." -- Manchester Guardian, Stability in Freedom Probably there is no nation in the world where greater diversity of opionion is expressed than in the Bri- tish Empire, and certainly there is no part of the world in which there is greater stability of government. This seeming paradox is no paradox at all when it is understood that the British. people long ago learnt the value of freedom as an element in, and indeed as the very essen.e "of, stability. in government. A recogni- tion of thes. facts is important in a world where the disregard of them has caused so much unrest, uncer- tainty, and ~blcodshed. "the world during the last few days has had its ears assailed with proud boasts of conquest and with arrogant claims of power which have had no counter- part in the history of the British people. Government is so much a matter of course that is =a danger of those who have enjoyed it in its highest firm faili:rg to safe- guard it or, at any rate, treating it ligktly.--Melbourne Argus. More Jewelry Being Worn Lapel Watches Are Smart; Many Colors in New Bracelets A bit of glitter with one's daytime clothes is important, or at least de- sirable. More jewelry is being worn as well as more flowers. Lapel watches are one of the most important of the jewelry fashions of the moment. The materials of these watches are crystal, shell and leather. The lapel watch is especially nice for warm weather, and is ex- pected to supplant the wrist watch during the summer. Fobs and fob watches are popular for the suits, and the monogram type fobs are used for gifts. Color gold is the rule in these fobs. Bracelets; are of many styles and colors. Color with metal touches is smart and often a matchin; clip, ring or pin is worn, making "the jewelry ensemble. -- Favorite -colors in bracelets right now are strawberry, aqua, purple tones; blues in a wide range, includ- ing navy, and a large number of greens. White is not so often chosen at the moment, but is expected to register importantly later In the summer, especially with touches of bright color. ' The well-dressed woman is buying metal belts, they say about ~ town, and leather belts studded with metal. Ornamental clips 'are also liked, especially the novelties representing fruit, vegetables and flowers, beetles or monograms. Color is combined with metal in these whimsies, Jewel- ed and brilliant 'studded effects are worn for evening. The moving picture, "Follow the Fleet," started a vogue for nautical jewelry which promises to continue during the st mmer, especially on the beachcg, One leather goods specialist is thowing leather "jewelry" articles in the. nautical theme. Regatta flags in color and monogram ornamental pins are shown as possibilities for sports wear. Necklaces that stress delicate, rather than heavy, designs in colors, combined ~with--~gold metal, also are shown in his collection. } The pearl. necklace still is worn by. chic women, even with clothes worn for sports, as at a steeplechase, Often they are complemented by a lapel flower matched by floral hat trimmming.

These things we learn- ed from a July magazine, observes tiie Peterborough Examiner, . There was one picture of a sweet youny lady nestling up fairly close to a young man who had a remark- ably well-groomed head of hair. Every hair the young man owned seemed to be in its right place. He looked as well groomed as a seal, and the word- ing along with the picture was 'Only a well-groomed head can inspire ad- oration such as this." Whether a lit tle soft butter would prcduce the same effect' we do not -know, but there it is. .The young man has to have that well-groomed effect or he will not "be adored. The man whose hair has started to leave the thatch Is out right at the start. He'll just have to get along as best he can without 'any adoration. : ~Then in apother place we found where a young man went out to spend 'the evening. It was admitted he was a nice young man and the young lady thought quite a lot of him. But when he jacked one leg up over the other in sitting down it was seen that his socks were wrinkled. He was not wearing garters and -his socks sagged badly. That started the young lady to thinking and she figured out hat if he was careless in his habits of dress he'd probably be careless| No doubt he about other - things. would dunk his toast in the coffee and like as not he Ayould drink soup or convey it to his. mouth with a swooping motion. So she became ra- ther cocl; there was no ardor in her; not a bit. The young man with the dehgling socks went home wondering what he had said or done and he felt as though life were blasted. If he'd only stopped to hitch up his socks a couple of times all might have been well. Life seems to be getting rather complex. A man can't get any ad- oration spilled on him unless he has hair well groomed, and another young fellow sees his best girl drifting away | from his wharf because his socks sagged when he crossed his legs. The only way out we can -sece is for a young than to keep his hat on so his hair won't show ond stand up when he.goes to spend the evening 80 the sag in his socks will not be apparent. Uilless of course he goes in for a spell of grooming or decides to wear garters.
