Ay 4 No Crime Cases For 17 Assizes Prince Edward Island, King's County Heass the Presiding Give esses. on Topics of General Interest, Crime is so rare in King's Coun- ty that the presiding justice at Su- preme Court assizes has little else to do but give a general address, Justice A. E. Arsenault has been holding assizes in the county seat of Georgetown for 17 years and has not yet tried a criminal case. "It is a most remarkable record for the county and one which fs probably not equalled in all Can. ada, I highly compliment the peo- "ple of the county on this record," he says. Talks To Jury Judge Arsenault told the jury it had become customary to give an "address on topics of interest. He talked on the importance of the ~ tourist industry to the people of rural districts, He urged that farmers maintain the good appearance of their prop- erties. "The special beauty of the province is the contrast of the green foliage of the grass and grain against the red background of the soil, and nicely kept buildings add to this beauty." */ He Warned Hitler With 483 ships of the home fleet ordered to proceed to the North Sea, battle station of thé British navy, when the German Nazi par- ty nleets at Nuremberg during the week of Sept. 5, Sir John Simon, ABOVE, chancellor of the ex- chequer, declared that Premier Chamberlain's previous warnings to Germany in regard to Czecho- slovakia, still hold good, and at the same time warned that Britain might have to fight in the event of war on the continent. In an indirect way he pleaded with Ger- many not to use pressure in the Sudeten minority problem. Bronze Age Now Dated 2,800, B.C. "Europe's "bronze age" was pushed back 1,000 years to 2800 B.C. by Praféssor W. G. Childe, of Edinburgh University, who drew a picture of civilization as it existed then in Europe and the Near East, based on recent arch- aeological discoveries. Excavations in Greece, the Dan- ube regions and elsewhere have convinced him the continental bronze age should be dated "near- er 2800 B.C. than 1800," Prof. Childe told the British Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, meeting in- Cambridge, England. Seven Zones of Activity "At the beginning df the cen- tral European bronze age towards the middle of the third millenium, "B.C., the following zones could be distinguished," he said: "1--The metropolitan civiliza- tions of Egypt and Babylonia. "2--Relatively provincial civil izations in Crete, Syria and Hit- tite Asia Minor, but all fully lit- erate and truly urban. "38--Bronze age towns in West- ern Anatolia and peninsular Greece whose walls may enclose from four to eleven acres and de- fend not only smiths but also specialized potters and many other craftsmen. Most are illiterate, but literate urban civilization .is al- ready dawning at Mycenae. Farming and Metallurgy "4--In Macedonia and the Bal- kans and on the middle Danube table villages exist: Their size can be estimated from the cemeteries comprising a maximum number. of 180 graves. Besides farming the only specialized industry is metal- lurgy, and commercial organiza- tion is too rudimentary to make metal generally available for tools. "6--Czechoslovakia and South ~Germany a similar economy reigns but the settlements are less per- manent and the maximum number of graves so far reported from a cemetery is 100. "6---In North Germany, Dén- mark 'and South Sweden are bands of herdsmen and small ham- lets of self-sufficing peasants, still equipped with only storfe weapons, "7--In thé extreme north the ' sole source of livelihood is food ] gathering." ; . The world's high speed king, Captain George E. T. Eyston, of England, feels that at almost 360 miles an hour ke 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 Thunderbol: auto- mobile through the measured mile on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. "I've figured it out scientifical- ly," said Lyston, "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-mile record. News Parade By Elizabeth Eedy SICK YAN NO MORE--No long- er can Turkey be called "the sick Iman of Europe." Under the prod- ding of Dictator Kemal Ataturk, tho patient has taken up his bed, and begun to walk. Turkey is now a modern, officiently-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. In pre-war days, Turkey was tied with Imperial Germany--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 has a friendiy alliance with So- viet Russia, strategically important. But here's the main point for the present: as a potential leader of the states of the Balkan Entente (Yugoslavia, Greece, Rumania 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. FUTILE EXPEDITION--Salling 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 the East and the inferno of European politics, with little hope in their hearts. ' For the League can never expect to act as a powerful force in the ° world again, till all the nations get behind {t and push whole-heartedly. for peace. MOTIVE UNKNOWN--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 believe 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? END OF UHHARVEST--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 graln--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 {t'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 WEEK'S QUESTION--How many young people in Canada, of employable age, have never had work? ' Answer--70,000 of them, between the ages of 16 and 29. Western Cattle Markets Bright CALGARY. -- Preapects for marketing western cattle in East- ern Canada and the United States this fall rarely looked brighter, Jack Byers, manager of the West- ern Stock ~ Growers' Association, stated on his return from an ex- tensive tour of Iastern Canada and the Eastern United States. "Feed prospects in Ontario and the Maritimes are excellent," said Mr. Byers, "and there is already a big demand for western cattle. The outlook is very good and jeast- ern buyers arc already on their way west." ---- lt oe * Must Not Hide A Mental Case Doctor Decries Trend In Some Families To Feel Ashamed Of Mentally Ill Person In The Home Because the average family is re- luctant to reveal the presence of mental diseases among its mem. bers, Michigan's problems and its expenses in handling these cases in state hospitals as well as in pris- ons has increased, according to Dr. I. N. La Victoire, psychiatrist at the Michigan Reformatory. A mistaken feeling of shame has developed through the ages about mental disorders, Dr, Victoire said. Most fanrilies seek to shelter rela- tives who develop mental diseases instead of seeking prompt aid for them at public and private institu- tions. The result, he said, is that such persons become worse in the same manner that persons physic- ally {ll who are not given treat- ment become worse. Makes Cure More Difficult This, Dr, La Victoire believes, leads to more cases of violent dis- orders and {insanity and prevents the recovery of many who might be cured. It also increases the state's cost for treatment of the in- dividuals when they have to be publicly institutionalized. Maladjustment produces many mental disorders and many cases can be cured if reached in the ear ly stages, Dr, La Victoire said. He urged that the aid of experts be sought in treating mental cases in the same way that strictly physical illnesses are recognized and the aid of a doctor sought. One Plant Bears 41 Big Tomatoes R. B. Goodwin, of Waterford, Ont., is assured he had in his gar- den the paramount tomato crop in the. district. His are of the standard variety, and on one plant alone were counted 41 large, smooth tomatoes. The entire crop yields of this average and presents a picture of rarity. The British Medical Association has just voted recognition to chi- ropodists.

THEQRY 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.--Ches- ley Enterprise.

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.

EH EEE Worms Ravage Ontario Tomato Crops Tomato worms, four inches or more long and as thick as a man's index finger, are playing havoc with the tomato crops of farses in certain areas of Ontario. The worms, one of which is shown ABOVE, do not attack the tomato itself, but strip the plant of young flowers and leaves. 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- ingly toward the glitter of the big 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. --Swift Current (Sask.) Sun. The EMPIRE SAD BUT TRUE The present generation is cin- ema-minded and radio-minded. He would Le a rash man, however, who would say it would be imma- terial to national interests if these forces were so potent as to colour acd 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 nwrtal, irrespective of the spotlessness of the latter's banner. Such would represent the dethronement of reason.--Belfast Telegraph. Would Build Up Big Food Reserve Vast Storage Plan for Great Britain Is Submitted by Pro- fessor Keynes -- 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.

"Better Than Gold Mine" Profe:gr Keynes, food storage adviser to the government, said such reserves in war "would be better than a gold mine." The News Chronicle, Liberal, considered the plan had undoubt- ed advantages but expressed the opinion it was by no means cer- tain it would prevent ups and downs of prices. "The (Keynes) paper should stimulate the government to deal with this question on a much larg- er scale than it has done up to the present," the News Chronicle added. Comes Out of Hiding 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 rolice after spending the night hidden in the dense woods sur- rounding his farm.

During the hearing of a case in- volving a will in Dublin, Ireland, Lieutenant Colonel Wlidmir Mans- field, a "documentary investigat- or," declared the penmanship of the maker showed he had heart trouble at-the time. He further testified that several 'diseases could be diagnosed through hand- writing. '
