Recently, in his capacity as chief of the Air Force, His Majesty flew in his own airplane to inspect several aerdromes. The Duke of York, his brother and heir presumptive, was a passenger. It was the Sovereign's fourth fiight since his accession to the Throne. King Edward always has shown a desire to understand how his subjects live, to know the life of the soldier, the airman, the sailor, the man on the street. It is because of this prac- tical side of his life that he is be- loved and respected everywhere that regard by the peoples of foreign lands.--Windsor Star. Wheat Sales Despite the almost prohibitive duty of 42¢ a bushel, about 45,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat have en- tered the United States since August 1, 1935, and the movement continues at the rate of a million bushels a week. Because of drought conditions in the. American grain fields, thé ex- ports may increase in volume from now on, Canadian wheat evidently has no market problem now.--Mont- real Gazette. PR A Mother's Tribute Tho mother of the Governor General short time ago and the Review of that place states that the people people "took her to their hearts." . They quote her as saying of her son: "He's a guid son is John. Never in from home has he forgotten to write to me. Since he came to Canada 1 have had three letters each week." Such a tribute will not lessen the respect and admiration of the Cana- dian people for their Governor Gen- eral. On the other hand it will greatly enhance his reputation in Canada. While it dsiplays the ,strong charac- ter of this Son of the Manse, who has risen to such a high position of trust and confidence, it also demon- strates the strength of character of the mother who has been able to rear such a son.--Chatham News. - Mothers - Great men never forget their mo- thers.

Forest Fire Losses The timber of an area the equiva- lent of three townships wag destroyed by fire th#s month in Algoma. It was part of the "last remaining stand of white pine. And it takes from 100 to 126 years for white pine to grow to merchantable size. While it stands growing, however, it has an immense value. There was enough timber de- stroyed by the demon fire to build another city 'like Sault Ste. Marie, according to the Sault Star estimate. Lightning is said to have been the main cause of a loss approximating $2,600,000. That being so, there is only one provision which can be made in addition to the strict enforcement of fire prevention laws and practices. There must be a blild-up of a fire fighting organization as efficient for its work as the brigades which are kept on full time in the cities and towns,--St. Catharines Standard.

THE EMPIRE Immigration for Defence Mr. Savage, the New Zealand Prime Minister, has recently declared that population is the first line of defence, and a similar view appears to be gaining currency in Australia, It is significant and reassuring that the two Dominions should have be- gun to realize this aspect of their security, Hitherto they have been generally content to look at the mat- ter from the purely economic angle. Their attitude has been the intel ligible one that it was no use expand- ing their populations without com- mensurate prospects of employment, and it must be admitted that such prospects have not existed during the past five years. But the recognition that population is a necessity of de- fence reverses the problem, for it in- dicates that the means must be found of adjusting. employment to popula- tion and not "vice-versa." Unhappily this particular line of defence is not so easily reinforced as armies, air forces or even navies; you cannot ar- bitrarily raise it to the requisite strength by any two-year, five-year or ten-year programme, The birth rates of Australia and New Zealand are, and seem likely to remain, far too low. to justify them in relying on their natural increase; if the defi- ciency is to be made up, immigration is their sole resource.~Hong Kong land in Old Scotland to this day. ; ET , Press "brand" for his exclusive use, iat i ls France Welcomes Canadians Back After 20 Years.

May Develop The River dy stems Harnessing of Columbia Is Proposed on Pacific Coast OTTAWA, -- The entire Columbia River System on the Pacific Coast may be harnessed for the creation of industrial power in the next few years. ; ' Publication of the report of the in- ternational Joint Commission on the water power and drainage cases In the Kootenay valley, in the neighbor hood of the international boundary, has drawn attention to certain curi- ous geographical features of the Kootenay River and the Coiumbia RI ver system of which it forms a part. These rivers, although they ulti- mately empty into the Pacific Ocean travel for the most part up and down long narrow valleys running north and south. The Kooteniy rises in the Roc kies only a few miles from the source of the Columbia. The former flows to the south into Idaho, then turns and flows north into Kootenay Lake in British Columbia, emptying into the Columbia some distance south of the city of Nelson. Meanwhile the Colum: bia has travelled north from its own source in the Rockies around the northern end of the Selkirk mount: ains, and south to the international boundary, Into the State of Washing: ton, and finally to the Pacific. The Pend d'Arellle, another tribu- tary of the Columbia, comes up to the boundary from Idaho, and dis: charges into the main stream after a course of a few miles in Cangda. Far ther west the Okanagan, rising in British Columbia flows south across the boundary to the Columbia, And on these various streams, particular ly on the British Columbia side, are long narrow but very deep lakes, fil ling gorges between the various dit- ferent mountain chains; Kootenay Lake, the Arrow Lakes, Okanagan Lake, Solcan Lake. All these rivers and lakes form one complete water system, and very definitely an inter- national water system, : Tattoed Chickens CHATHAM, -- Something in the na- ture of a break for the harassed chic ken farmer has been provided by the Ontario Government, in the introduc- tion of registered 'brands' or tattoo marks for poultry, a) Tattooed on Win The innovation is designed to pro- vide a ready means of definite iden: tification; and to act as a curb on the chicken thieving.

TCRONTO--In launching the "Try Courtesy" campaign of new.pt.per ad- vertising to draw the attention of Ontario motorists to the necessity for showing each othar more con- sideration, Hon. T, B.

Edmonton's brides do not make the can-opener their main stand-by, it has been proved at the" summer fair. The cooking section in the women's building this year has a larger exhibit than ever before and, say officials, theré is a surprising nubmer: of contributors from among the young married housewives. "Young women may have turned to cooking as a result of the depression," merely adhering to the letter of legal rights and obligations did not con- stitute a sufficient contribution by the individual -motoristi-- er "A blind insistence upon all the privileges of the law-is only too often the cause of the accident, as when one driver .insists upon asserting his righ -of-way in a doubtful situation," Mr. McQusten warned. . "Improper use of the highways does not mean only wild, drunken gi reck- less driving," he went on. "It means also the negligent, indifferent, thoughtless and discourteous actions of the normally law-abiding majority. "This latter category present a problem of another sort. Inattention, lack of courtesy, or other . faulty habits may be quite as dangerous under certain - circumstances as the foolhardy tricks of the most irrespon- sible ifdividual. Records show that "more than 8( per cent. .{ tne drivers involved in accidents have never be- fore been involved, so it is evident that these su-called ninor lapses are really of enormous importance. _ Driving Habits "The improvement in driving habits of such individuals canno$ be brought about by legislation or by law enforce- ment, because these violations are more frequently against the rules of courtesy and common sense than against traffic regulations, "So it is clear that safety on the road: demands of both motorists and pedestrians the same degree 01 court- esy and consideration for others as do business and social contracts.

Upside Down The fact that a fly can walk upside down on the ceiling has always been a thing of wonder to children and to grown-ups alike. But before it can walk, how does it land on the ceiling? For it certainly does not fly upside down. The secret is that the fly has two extraordinary forelegs, These are as long as the entire body,-and-each "leg has nine joints, enabling the leg to be extended at will in any direc- tion. A fly's leg is not merely double, "but nine:jointed. Before landing on the ceiling the fly cruises slowly just below, and thrusts -up its forelegs above the body so that its pads gel a foothold; the whole body of the fly then swivels round on: its multi-jointa and ends up facing the ceiling.
