They wondered what plane it was and the answer for once is forthcoming plane dropped a message. The piane was the Royal Windsor in the New York-Spokane air derby and ; when it passed here was going strong everything in good condition. In these days of ocean hops and plane races the air is becoming cluttered and the sight of an airplane no long- er has the kick it used to have.

M IRROR 5 NOTES The writer of these "Notes" and are unanimous in| 'The Mirror editor trying to boost Stratford. What is | the use of hammering if you are making nothing out of it? A black- Smith doesn't tap an anvil for the sake of making a noise, btu to fash- ion something out of iron. Iron be- comes soft when heated but gets hard by cooling. This simile could be ap- plied to some people who are habitual knockers. They never knock until heated. If they ewould allow them- selves to become cool their judgment would be stronger, like iron that is no longer hot. There is more room in Stratford for manufacturing plants, if we could only get them. If they cannot be secured in Canada they might be found in the United States if the Board of Trade would reach out in that direction. But the trouble appears to be a lot of manutatcurers are afraid of competi- that the tion in wages, forgetting higher the wages the more demand for manufactured goods. The law of compensation always works for hu- manitarians.

AS civilization advanced and tribes amal- gamated and became nations, the dif- ferent colors, no doubt, were blended into one flag; each flag representing early The two chief flags which interest us tuday are the Union Jack and Stars and Stripes.
