An Anchor on the Heart In the $5th race of their series, on the Thames River, Cambridge made a new record by taking its tenth straight victory over Oxford, its ancient rival, which had not recorded a win since 1923. This classic battle of the Bluesâ€"the oldest of all British intervarsity clashâ€" esâ€"has been described as an anchor in the heart of the British people, and the wide appeal which this 20â€"minute event makes has always been conâ€" gidered remarkable. The historic race draws hundreds of thousands of onlookers to the scene of the contest every year, demonstratâ€" ing not only the Briton‘s interest in clean, manly sport, but his inherent love for boats and the water.â€"Sudbury Star. Britain has improved her position to A gratifying degree since the fall of 1931 when higher taxes and drastic reductions in expenditures had to be rdopted by the National government to set John Bull‘s house in order to maintain credit abroad. Now there is a much rosier picture. According to statements made by Neville Chamberâ€" lain, chancellor of the exchequer, John Bull‘s credit is so fully restored that the government is almost embarrassed by the amount of foreign money brought to London by people who feel it to be a safer place than whence it came. Another bright spot is that Great Britain, after having slipped back to the position of third exporting country, has regained the first posiâ€" tion.â€"Kitchener Daily Record.

Airâ€"Mindedness One of the amazing things about air travelâ€"still really only in its infancy â€"â€"is not that there are the occasional crashes with fatal results, but that they have not been very much more frequent. Aerial travel on this conâ€" tinent, particularly in the United States, is taken just as much for granted as it is in Europe, which for several years has maintained an exâ€" tensive network of lines. Airmen and @ircraft manufacturers have indeed established a fine reputation. Bad acâ€" cidents are few and far between.â€"Vicâ€" toria Times.

The proof can be helped by the display of a real sense of values intelligible to other counâ€" tries. It is not helped by the unequal interest taken by nonâ€"official members of the Central Legislature in their own as distinct from the alien Governâ€" ment‘s proposals, and still less by other conspicuous displays of the moâ€" ment.â€"Calcutta Statesman. The Silver Lining ("Have you ever thought that alâ€" though every type of luxury and laborâ€" saving device is available in our homes, our houses lack the comfort of those of Victorian days?"â€"Sir Mark Webster Jenkinson.) There is someâ€" thing to be said for a draughty palace against a warm hutch, something to be said for the comradeship of large families, something to be said for very square mealsâ€"sirloins and ginger pudâ€" dingsâ€"for grand pianos, for fourâ€"postâ€" ers, for thick carpets, and for plenty of headâ€"room and elbowâ€"room. And there is much to be said for the spirit which went with them, the feeling of security and comfortable future. Our age is one of flats and small houses, of most of the comfortable dlscom-‘ forts described by Sir Mark Jenkinâ€" son, and we live in a most Georgian discomfort of mind. But when the last thunder has rumbled, the last shower finished, and we come into a cool, clear world again, we will build houses for ourselves of a comfort and convenience of which Sir Mark‘s Vicâ€" torians never dreamt. â€" Leeds Yorkâ€" shire Post. "Healthy domesticity," said Sir George Newman, addressing the Naâ€" tional Union of Townswomen‘s Guilds, "is one of the essentials of a healthy nation." This is a truism, but to utter it calls for courage. The word is unâ€" popular. It smacks too much of an ago and conditions from which the modern woman is glad to have esâ€" caped. A reputation for "domesticity" is not an object of ambition in high schools, secondary schools, or elementâ€" ary schools. It rouses a spirit of anâ€" tagonism in the emancipated and sets them bridling. Sir George Newman, therefore, was greatly daring when he pleaded for "making homes instead of shutting them down and living in resâ€" taurants."â€"London Daily Telegraph, THE UNITED STATES The Standard of Life Supposing that Mr. Average Citizen drives an average car, his costs are just over 6%4 cents a mile. And beâ€" cause he owns his own car and to get the most out of his investment must use it considerably, he succeeds in traâ€" velling upwards of 7,000 miles every year. Railway travel for the generaâ€" tion just preceding the "motor age" cost three cents a mile, and was a luxury for the average individual to be indulged only at long intervals. How striking is the contrast that even in these confused, perplexed, soâ€"called depression times, millions of our peoâ€" ple travel an average of 7,000 miles annually at a cost of more than six cents a mile.â€"Detroit News. No matter how fair employers wish to be; there are always some who will take advantage of times such as these to lower unnecessarily the standards of labor, thereby subjecting them to unâ€"| fair competition.

A New Deal For the Workers Home Making Britain Offers Lead In Air Disarmament * * \ Air Estimates Show Reducâ€" tion of £340,000 â€" To Limit Size of Military Aircraft London.â€"The Marquess of Londonâ€" derry, Secretary for Air, in a memoâ€" randum accompanying the Air Estiâ€" mates, emphasises the wholeâ€"hearted desire of the Government Yo promote Disarmament, and to bring about a reduction in the world‘s air forces on an equitable basis. Lord Londonderry states that the practical and immediate proposals put forward for a general reduction in the size of the leading air forces to the British level, and thereaftor, for an alFround further reduction by onethird, and for a limitation in the size of military aircraft would, if acâ€" cepted, produce substantial economies in~expenditures on air armaments, and, more important _ still, would avert the danger of their competitive development. An actual reduction of nearly £340,000 is shown in the Air Estiâ€" mates. "The modest Home Defence proâ€" gram," the Secretary for Air adds, "is held in suspense for another year, a decision which is a further earnest of the wholehearted desire of his Majesty‘s Government to promoté Disarmament and to bring about a reduction in the world‘s air forces on an equitable basis. "In the meantime the Royal Air Force remains at a figure of strength substantially less than that of other great nations, despite the rapidly growing importance of air power to When Kate Smith turned up at the studio in New York for the first time since her operation for blood poisoning, Jack Dempsey assisted at the wheel chair, ++ Lewis Walck, machinist‘s mate, who perished with 70 others , when the world‘s largest airship crashed into the sea off the New Jersey shore.

Two Heavyweights on the Air the British Empire, with its farâ€"flung responsibilities." It appears that Lord Londonderry is hoping that a call for parity in air armaments will be made in the intervals between the production of new proposals for the abolition of military aircraft and the internaâ€" tional control of civil aviation. At the present moment there is a very real risk that the weak posiâ€" tion of the British air force relative to the air forces of other countries shall be forgotten in the anxiety to produce a method . of further> disâ€" armament.

It will be recalled that at the Imperial Conâ€" ference last summer Canada led the way in demand that an efective preéâ€" ference should be given to Canadian lumber as well as against the admisâ€" sion of the Soviet product. What was finally adopted was not a ban British Ban on Russia Will Aid Canadian Lumber Recovery 380 Public Schools on Brltlsl{ imp(;rts from Russia, alâ€" though certain rights to impose it were â€" taken. Immediately _ afterâ€" Atlanta, Ga.â€"With no funds to carry on, 380 public schools throughâ€" out the State have been locked up, Mr. M. D. Collins, state school supâ€" erintendent, has announced. He added that there are probably 100 more schools that have closed be fore the end of their terms, on which no official report has yet been reâ€" ceived. "It appears thrt common school education is doomed," Mr. Collins asserted, "not only in Georgia, but everywhere, unless adequate revenue to maintain the schools is provided. As I seo it, common school educaâ€" tion is primarily the State‘s function, but the fact is that the schools now are supported largely by revenue raised in the local subdivisions." Added to the deficiency fo reve nue for schools is the uncertainty as to what the income will be, Mr. Colâ€" lins asserted, and said that the State was $3,122,317 behind in unpaid school appropriations, some of which has been past due since 1928. Georgla spent a little more than $7,000,000 on its department of education in 1932, and $780,000 of this was approâ€" priated during former years. Wheat Price in France Hits Its Lowest Level Paris.â€"Wheat prices in France touched the lowest level im years on April 6, being quoted at 92 francs a quintal, or slightly under $1 a bushel. The price represented a drop of 20 cents in the last month. In an effort temporarily to apâ€" pease irate farmers, the Government presented a demand to the Chamber of Deputies for a special fund of 20,â€" 000,000 francs (about $800,000) to be distributed as bonuses and to encourâ€" ago the use of inferior wheat as catâ€" tleâ€"feed. r+% Denmark- Title Confirmed to Eastern Green!

The Dominion Government consequâ€" ently has every reason to hope that Canadian lumber will immediately replace the huge quantities bought from the Soviet.

Stanley, pioâ€" neer explorer, worked his way through darkest Africa in a year, a cavalcade of British Army officers, in automoâ€" biles, explored 6,000 miles of unâ€" known desert land in Northern Afâ€" rica, making the trip in two months. The exploring party, known as the Bagnold Expedition, headed by Major R. A. Bagnold, and Dr. K. S. Sanford of Oxford University, was sent on an archeological trip to find traces of ancient man. Four cars were used in the start from here. Equipped wth special tires and apparatus, the cars encountered the hardest types of driving. The route led through the Oweinat and Enned! hills, Queinal, Tekro, Nahroum, Selâ€" ima, Wadi Halfa, Dakhal, Bahia and the Fayoum Oases. Climatic conditions were unfavorâ€" ale for the automobiles, as great extremes in temperature were encounâ€" tered throughout the trip. In the Sudan it was as hot as a blast furnace, and in the Sabara bitâ€" terly cold winds were encountered, In addition to those territorial climate changes, there were the marked difâ€" ferences in temperature in day and night. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO It was often necessary to pull the cars by ropes through the soft sand. Going through the sand was by no means easy, and the engines of the cars were taxed to their utmost in the long, hard grind across the desâ€" ert land. Major Bagnold invented a cpechlf compass for the trip. The device was something similar to a small sun dial, | and was attacheft to the instrument‘ board of each car. It proved very| helpful in ascertaining positions. I The motor cars used were of Amâ€" erican manufacture.
