Much Ado About Many Things Many of us will remember 1932 as the year we got a lame back bowing to the inevitable. Most men aren‘t alaves to their own consciences so much as they are to their wives‘ whims. When enemies bury the hatâ€" thet they generally keep a blueâ€"print pf the spot. A real executive is one who can handle people who know more than he does. A lot of our trouâ€" bles, which look like mountains in the distance, are only small hills when we reach them.

She was told of Kruschen Salts and decided to try them. After taking one bottle she found great reâ€" lief, and after two bottles was able to walk without the aid of sticks,. She has never been without Kruschen since, and takes a small dose two or three times a week. She is still able to travel and go about, although she was $9 last February. Indeed, at 86 she travelled the double journey beâ€" tween Vancouver and London, Engâ€" land. She has recommended Krusâ€" chen to many people who have also found benefit from it."â€"K. B. L. What a lesson there for the younger folk! Why should anyone suffer from unfitness, rheumatism, constipation, backacheâ€"after reading this woman‘s letter? What Kruschen can do for a woman of advanced age, it can surely do for you. Not so very long before she made a trip from Vancouver to London, Engâ€" land, this woman of 86 was almost helpless with rheumatism. Her daughâ€" ter tells how she was able to make such a journey:â€" Birmingham (England) has an averâ€" age of one shop to every fortyâ€"eight inhabitants; in some areas there are said to be more shops than customers.

Today there are gardens near the river, open to all, and beautifully kept up, where food can be had If wanted, and where one can bask in the sun on comfortable chairs. But those gardens are where the river came before it was embanked.â€" Dorothy Hood, in "Looking Back on London," We have moved a long way since the Strand was a street of noble men‘g palaces with gar\dens to the river, and was open to the north. That way has an enticing sound, but the description of the highway in 1315, when the Savoy was new, as being almost impassable from rats and holes, with brambles and bushes that got in the pedestrian‘s way, sounds depressing, York watergate, and that sal little builtin bit of Essex House gate, are the only remâ€" nants of the palaces except a aories of names which catch the eye as we sail down the Strand on a ‘bus like & proeossl‘on of the imagination Charing Cross, Durham House, York, Cecil for Salisbury (will the name remain, one wonders?) Savoy, Norâ€" folk, Arundel, Surrey and Essex. The Chapel Royal, Savoy, dates from the Hospital, and as it was burnt out in Queen Victoria‘s day, has not much old about it, except the walls. lowa Students at Last Permitted to Dance Victoria Square, close to the staâ€" tion, known throughout the world, is so quiet and retiring that comâ€" paratively few people have ever heard of it. _ Just out of the office world of Victoria Street, two minâ€" utes away from the excitement of Parliament, and five from a busy County Council, the dim cloisters of the Abbey, surrounding the emerald green of their immemorial garth, are the embodiment of peace. At Notting Hill Gate, too, you can flee hurrying humanity and convergâ€" ing ‘buses and plunge under an arch between two shops, and hey presto, you are in little old Kensington, with a row of tiny houses with gardens and a cobbleâ€"stoned court. _ . In Knightsbridge, turn your back on the thunder of the Kensington Road, go into the tiny courtyard of Park Row, drink in the peace, and say farewell to the little old houses with the pretty porches and over doors, for their time is short. London, indeed, is full of little oases tucked away hero and there, which, by force of contrast, seem more peaceful than the most retired rural spot could ever do. _ Take that haven| of rest, for instance, the Dutch garden in Kensington Garâ€" dens, with the pleached alleys and the quiet pool with the waterâ€"lilies, Just off the Broad Walk, which alâ€" ways geethes with people hurring across the Park as they dodge the Juvenile bicycles. How calm is the little courtyard of old brick houses in Staple Inm, aithough it is just behind those still older facades in Holborn which sturdily face the mechanical bustle of another age than theirs, * TRIP TO ENGLAND AT 86 _ London‘s Green MINING and INDUSTRIAL STOCKS shall be glad to furnish Information and Suggestions on Request Members: Standard Stock and Mining -E;(;hange McKINNON BUILDING * . _ TORONTO G.

Canadian Beaver Thriving Under Protection of the Law The committee proposes ~that the Royal Dramatic Theatre and later perâ€" haps the Royal Opera in Stockholm should organize provincial tours with specially engaged artists reinforced by leading actors and actresses from the Stockholm stages and that societies of playâ€"goers should be organized in the provincial towns to safeguard the econâ€" omic part of the activity.

Men who voluntarily strike within their own trade, however, will not be permitted to accept temporary employâ€" ment on an unemployment relief proâ€" ject. All unemployment relief is to be adâ€" ministered by the national unemployâ€" ment commission, formed in 1921 durâ€" ing Sweden‘s postâ€"war industrial deâ€" pressicn, in accordance with these new principles, Wages to be paid will for the most part be that of unskilled labor as deâ€" termined in the open market, and will therefore differ according to the secâ€" tion of Sweden where the projects are carried out. Skilled labor will be paid according to regular scale. Trade Unions Win Point Trade unions haveo won an importâ€" ant point in enunciation of the new policy, namely, an understanding that a union man who accepts unemployment relief cannot be forced to serve as a strikebreaker in his own trade in some other community. Under the old plan, where a man bad merely to demonstrate his willâ€" ingness to work, it is pointed out, the "made work" project has proved, in most cases, too costly. Machine is Minimized in This new principle is to be develop ed in several ways. On highway conâ€" struction, for example, workmen may be divided into small groups and paid according to the number of cubic yards of dirt removed, Machine Work Minimized Machine work will be eliminated as far as possible so as to give full play to the new program.

Danes to Survey Copenhagen. â€" A Danish expediâ€" tion to continue making maps and surveying the southeast coast of Greenland with other geological glaâ€" cierogical work has just sailed under the leadership of Dr. Knud Rasmus sen. The expedition consists of 70 men, including Greenlanders, who are tendâ€" ing eight large motorboats. Through the investigations of last year made by Capt. Einar Mikkelsen, six anâ€" cient Eskimo dwellings were found among ruins between Angmagssalik and Scoresby Sound. Manning, S.C.â€"Necessity, some one has said, is the mother of invention, and, according to a local garage man, the author of the aphorism knew what he was talking about. Three young women, one of them limping, left Charleston the other day in an automobile. When they reachâ€" 'ed Manning, the automobile, rather than one of the women, was limping. It happened this way: On a lonely part of the road their automobile stopâ€" ped running. It appeared that the gas line had broken. The three young woâ€" men were in a dilemma. Finally, the one who was limping suggested that a corn plaster might fix the line. It worked, and they made their way to a Manning garage where more permanâ€" ent repairs were effected. "This will enable a ypilot, if his plane is provided with the instruâ€" ments to bring in the visual signals, to receive weather reports, or other necessary information, by voice and, at the same time, to be guided on his course by means of the visual inâ€" dications that are registered on the plane‘s instrument board. _ As it is necessary to shut down the aural signals while a voice broadcast is being made, a pilot prepared to reâ€" ceive only the aural signals is withâ€" out directional guidance while voice is being received."

Previously the working miners were balloted on the question of whether they were prepared to share their employment. ‘The percentage of workâ€" ers who responded favorably was 41, and the matter was then allowed to drop. That decision has now been rescindâ€" ed, and the managments are considerâ€" ing adopting the workâ€"sharing scheme, which is expected to result in eight months work every year for all miners in the area, and in none of them losing eligibility for insurance relief through lengthy unemployment.

New Westminster, B.C.â€"The shingle industry on the Fraser River is boomâ€" ing with virtually all the big plants working double shifts and employing approximately 1,000 men in this disâ€" trict. Some plants have orders sufiâ€" cient to keep them busy through July and August. Prices have advanced sharply. Shingle production in the Jower Fraser Valley this year is expected to reach 1,200,000,000 pieces of a value of $2,000,000 against 770,000,000 pieces in 1932. * Welsh Miners Offer Increased shingle production more activity in the woods.

Fifteen years ago he won the Nobel Prize for chemistry. 300 Scientists Attend Congrss At Victoria More than 300 scientists from 31 countries attended the fifth meeting of the Pacific Science Congress which opened on June 1 at Victoria, British Columbia. It is the first time the Conâ€" gress has met on the North American side of the Pacific Ocean. The meetâ€" ings were held at Victoria and Vanâ€" couver, continuing until June 14. The topics discussed included life in and significance of Pacific fiords, meteoroâ€" logical conditions affecting navigation on the Pacific, developments in the application of science to industry in countries of the Pacific region, methâ€" ods of controlling the principal disâ€" eases of animals, coâ€"ordination of reâ€" cent work in plant and animal geneâ€" tics, ethnological and archaeological factors in Pacific cultures, propagation of salmon, silviculture, radio transâ€" mission, copper, lead and zinc reâ€" sources, volcanoes, and â€" earthâ€"crust movements. One of the most interesting features of the Congress was the address of Lord Rutherford, Director of the Cayâ€" endish Physics Laboratory of Camâ€" bridge University, England, a former Professor of Physics at McGill Uniâ€" versity, Montreal. Lord Rutherford, who, by the way, was born in New Zealand, delivered his address by raâ€" dio to Vancouver, where the Congress was in session.
