As, for instance, this one: "It was not the children‘s physical condition, however, that caused most concern. . . . The saddest byâ€"product ¢f the Spanish civil war is their overâ€" wrought mental condition, brought about by the terror of the air raids. The war has left many of them abâ€" normally nervous, perhaps for the rest of their lives. They have spent hour after hour huddled in "refugios" with their frightened mothers, while rebel airplanes droned overhead, dropping bombs. . . . Scores have seen brothers, sisters or little friends killed or maimed near their homes." Can any sensitive person read that without feeling that the bombing of an inhabited townâ€"by anyone, in any landâ€"is one of the most shocking crimes of all the ages?â€"Guelph Merâ€" n in Convinced, the cottager listened to he driller‘s claim that he could drill i well in the lake and get a column of well water whose level would be hicher than that of the lake itself. \!! of which is easy to understand, if vou can understand it â€"Stratford Deaconâ€"Herald. t] ChiC ...l00s Netherlands Scotland ...

One day the king was riding in Copenhagen. His horse, upâ€" set by the traffic, threw him. Chrisâ€" tian Thomsen, a poor composer, was among those who rushed to help him. Although in pain, the king mounted his horse again and rode off. That inâ€" spired Christian Thomsen. He comâ€" posed a march, su‘mitted it. As soon as King Christian heard it played he exclaimed: "That is the very thing!" He sent for Thomsen and dccorated him. And a poor composor has beâ€" come famous.

There is a story of a housemaid, just promoted to the upper regions of Buckingham Palace, being taken aback on hearing whistling in the corâ€" ridor leading to Queen Mary‘s bedâ€" room.

Well, that question mark has been answered by an explanation we came across recently. It is pointed out that the local barber used to be the local surgeon, where patients were bled and bandaged. The pole was the symbol of the splint to which a brokâ€" en arm was bound, the white strips represented the bandages, the blue the veins that had to be opened and the red the blood.â€"Kitchener Record. The Lure of the Road Spring is here and summer is apâ€" proaching. The man of the house is looking over the old car and figvring whether it will do for another year. Some of them will keep on figuring so long that the season may be over before any decision is reached, then the car will again be housed for the winter and its owner will conclude that he has saved a lot of mopey just because he has not taken into conâ€" sideration the cost of upkeep on the old family automobile. As all who come in contact with her know, the Queen Mother has a keen sense of humor and a gift of genuine laughter. The Dean of Johannesburg is gloomy. He looks askance at weddâ€" ings to which the bride comes reâ€" splendent and the bridesmaids and pages appear in bright array, calling such ceremonies "extravagant and tawdry." What then would he have? Not, surely, the drabness of a register office? Solemn vyows will not be heard less reverently if those at the altar are joyously attired for life‘s most joyous day. With marriage goes jubâ€" ilation and feasting; why not wear happiness in the dress as well as in the heart? For a woman, especially, this is the day to which memory turns back, and her wish is that the recolâ€" lection should be gay and pleasing. We want no pensiveness at weddings, and it would be as incongruous to muffle the bells as the brgdo in homeâ€" spun.â€" The Brooks experimental farm, which has played such an important role in the development of fruits on the prairies, will carry forward efâ€" forts to cultivate that type of walnut in Alberta. The efforts will be watchâ€" ed with interest, for their success would provide western farmers with a useful and decorative crop. And it would provide a welcome addition to Alberta‘s products. Though no Royal lady ever bore herselft with greater dignity when ocâ€" casion requires, Queen Mary, to whom the Empire‘s affectionate greetings have gone on her 70th anniversary, has no liking for rigid etiquette in private life. Wainuts From Meach Lake Interesting news to this district and to all of the Canadian West is the inâ€" formation that the Provincial Govâ€" ernment‘s _ horticultural _ experiment farm at Brooks has received some small black walnut trees from the plantation of H. H. Blanchet at Meach Lake, Quebec. But what we want to say is that the lure of the rcad is urging the long drive for the week end and the evenâ€" ings. It‘s a good idea to give a little thought to the new conditions this year. To apply a little time and thought to the safeguarding of the car and those it contains. To make it a year free from accident.â€"Peterâ€" boro Examiner. PRESS THE EMPIRE Wedding Attire CANADA THE EMPIRE Declare Canada Better Adjustment of People In The World Needed Says Judge McFadden at Chatham. CHATHANM. â€" "If the arable land of Canada was fully and efficiently farmed, and its products progerly disâ€" tributed no one in the world need go hungry" Jvdge Uriah McFadden told thirty applicants for naturalization at the opening of the country General Sessions of the Peace here and in pointing the resources of Canada, the land of their adoption. "I believe the time has arrived for a better distribution of people in the world to relieve the density of popuâ€" lation in some countries, he said. It is said there are more psople in the world today than at any time before in history, notwithstanding wars, faâ€" mines, floods and disease. It is said there has been an increase of 500,000,â€" 000 people in the last thirty years, or an increase of 50,000 per day. There is room here in Canada for many milâ€" lions. This land could stand a popuâ€" lation of between 40 and 50 million people. Statesmen are giving this matâ€" ter more consideration. There is an The Kentucky Derby has been won three times by Earl Sande and Isaac Murphy. In a few years they will probably be holding it at the Y.M.C.A., with a cup for the first prize, just to make it more exclusive. “ Nowadays everyâ€" * § | one seems to be out â€"for records, new and entirely different. Dave Yack, the boxer, has oneâ€"â€"He manâ€" aged to be the only boxer in many a day to win the "daily double." This year they are cutting down the C.N.E. swim some more. _ The race is to be outside the seaâ€"wall, the men going 10 miles, and the women three, with $6,000 for the total prize money for both. Larry Gains, the colored Canadian boxer, made between 1932 and 1934 nearly $50,000 in fights in England. They say his biggest purse was around $13,000. He made this when he defeated Carnera. Gains, who has beaten most of the heavyweights overseas, worked his passage to England on a cattle boat 14 years ago. As this is written, pleasureâ€"mad New York is looking forward eagerly to the Schmelingâ€"Braddock fight.

Could Care for Fifty Million Sporting Comment These "Gloucester Gauntlet" fighting planes of the Royal Force, with a cruising speed of 250 miles an hour, are the fastest machines in the service apart from those on the secret list. On May 2t9h they showed their powers to the public during a display given in connection w th the Empire Air Day, when Royal Air Force aerodromes throughout the country were thrown open to the Public. Our picture shows a formation of the "Gauntlets" in flight over Epsom, near Kenley.

Britain Takes On Air Of Preparedness agitation in the British Isles for more settlement here. "I have no patience with the cry ‘Canada for Canadians‘ said the judge. "It‘s resources are of no use until utilized," he said. Judge McFadden pointed out that in eastern Canada average farms range from 50 to 150 acres while in Western Canada they range from 160 to 640 acres in extent. In many Europâ€" ean countries individual farmers have only one or two acres at their disâ€" posal and these are cropped inâ€" tensively. To become Canadians the judge said, applicants must be faithful and bear true allegiance to the British Crown and British institutions and must respect and obey the law. "There is no room here for Comâ€" munism" he said "My experience has been that New Canadians are as law abiding as the British born. And why not? Here we have one of the most democratic country in the world and we will soon reach the peak of pracâ€" tical social service legislation." Judge McFadden pointed out that as each new Canadian received the oath of allegiance, he would receive too a card of greeting from the I. O. D. E. This card should be framed and placed upon the wall of the home where it can be seen at all times, he said. It urges the privilege of freeâ€" dom in all things and the basis of Christianity upon which the law is founded.

An honorary life member of the institute, the Viceroy told its memâ€" bers it was "most necessary" for them to preserve a balance between what is useful and what is beautiful in their projects. Man‘s constructive powers must be kept in harmony with nature. "Even in Canada," Lord Tweedsâ€" muir said, "where you are dealing with nature in its wildest form, the engineer should also be something of the artist." At the same time, he emâ€" phasized his belief the introduction of human interest through manâ€"made scenery "does not spoil, but rather dignifies, any landscape." | News In Review | FREDERICTON. â€" Encouraged by development of ne wmarkets in South development of new markets in South ern United States markets, New Brunswick‘s growers are giving greatâ€" er attention to seed potato culture. South Africa also has been suggested as a potential market. Seed potato acreage in the Provâ€" ince this year is expected to double that of 1936, with table stock showâ€" ing a smaller percentage of increase. Last year 3,3000 acres were sown for seed. The 1937 acreage is expected to be more than 6,000. More growers are entering the seed business in the St. John Valley Counties of York, Carleton and Victoria, while expanâ€" gion also is anticipated in Restigouche County. Osculation Leads to Court MIMICO. â€" A kiss caused Donald Patterson of Toronto to zigâ€"zag in and out of traffic on Long Branch Avenue Potato Men Find Markets Urges Beauty in Building Soventy three day of the most terâ€" rible siege in modern history ended this week as the insurgent columns of General Devila began the task of "mopping up" the ancient Basque capital of Bilbao. Fighting from house to house, the defenders still hang on grimly while refugees have moved down in thousands as they atâ€" tempted to flee the city under the murderous fire of the Italian "Black Arrow" column. An indication that the sicg> was actually over and that hope of starving off the advancing mercenaries was over, was the deparâ€" ture of the British consul from the city. He was rescued by British sailâ€" ors from awaiting ship just outside the death swept harbor,. Latest reâ€" ports say that General Franco is transferring his hordes in thovrsands to the Madrid front where another terrific push is forecast by the orders of the Loyalist commander who has requested all civilians to leave the city. Financial Courage After ten months of comparative stale mate, the Fascists scem to be geting somewhere in their attempts to subdue the will of the Spanish people. Just prior to the fall of Bilâ€" bao, new hope was injected into their councils by the announcement of a new loan obtained abroad for $1,500, 000. The announcement was made by a former tobacco smuggler, illiterate Juan March, chief civilian backer of the revolution. No one seems to know where it is to come from but there are many Close guesses. Germany and Italy are in the poâ€" sition of having to throw good money after bad. So far, the campaign has not been much of a success but furâ€" ther expenditure may turn the day. The fall of Bilbao seems to bear out this statement. Beauty in Distress And in Germany, all is not well. Chancellor â€" Hitler‘s â€" close â€" personal friend and the Director German State Motion Pictures, Leni Riefenstahl has been accused of having "nonâ€"Aryan" grandparents. In most countries, such a fault would not be of any particuâ€" lar importance but in Germany where the Nazis are engaged in stamping out their Jewish intellectval class, the accusation is the next thing to ruin. The charge was made by Propaâ€" ganda Minister Goebbels at a social gathering. It has since been denied as "pure invention". The interesting part for conjecture is just what Chancellor Hitler thinks about it all and just what action he would take if he charge proved to be true. It is well known that all of the women he may have known, which is not many, the beauâ€" tiful actress is the favourite. last Sunday, according to evidence in Mimico Court recently, when Patterâ€" son appeared to answer a reckless driving charge.

Faced by a financial crisis occasionâ€" ed by a steady drain of gold because of unequal trade balances, Premier Leon Blum has just won a vote of confidence. Votes of confidence are a feature of the French governmental system and supportors of governâ€" ments more often than not tu‘n against their former colleagues on the slightest pretext. Such was the case when â€" Premicr Blum‘s Communist deputies ganged up against him only to be met with surprising opposition from other section of the Chamber, The Government is now empowered with extraordinary financial powers to support the franc by regulation of the discount rate and a crisis which might have been of world importance in view of the delicate state of afâ€" fairs has been averted, at least for the time. College Holiday And in the hurry and bustle of inâ€" ternational headaches, we almost forâ€" got to mention something which hapâ€" pened right here in Toronto. It will not shake the depths of the nation but Strange how echoes of distant thunâ€" der come close to home. Two weeks ago, financial circles were met with the announcement by Canadian paper producers that prices for fine papers and boards were going up from §$7 to $10 per ton. Among the reasons given by manufacturers for this rise (amounting to 8% over last year) was the scarcity of sulphite, Sulâ€" phite is the bleaching agent in the making of chemical wood pulp. Sulâ€" phite is also a prime ingredient of explosives. Apparently, the manufacâ€" ture of explosives is of more imporâ€" tance in this unsettled world of toâ€" day than the manufacture of fine paâ€" per. it does stand out by contrast with with the other happenings of the week. Of all things it was a party. Imagine if you can, the courtyard of an ancient castle with a party in proâ€" gress. On a terrace at one end, strings being plucked with old English airs. There may have been wars, struggles in the financial world, economic upâ€" sets, but Hart House on the night of the Graduation Ball might have been something out of another century. For those who leave the college halls for the last time, it was to all purâ€" poses another war, set apart from the one they have, by this time, entered. The going for college graduates is not always smooth, yet the prospect of more jobs this means, we hope, betâ€" ter things for them. Generally speaking, cities and towns recorded notable increases. The Town of New Waterford, N.S., which has made an outstanding recâ€" ord in HLP. loans, reported 174, amounting to $60,630, as on May 15. Toronto, with 1,018 loans, amountâ€" ing to $365,556.31 still headed the list on May 15, both in number and amount, although Montreal was not far behind. Montreal loans numberâ€" ed 692, but amounted to $361,426.03. Vancouver reported 544 loans, totalâ€" ling $174,497.26, followed by Winniâ€" peg, with 389 loans, for $154,175.72.

The scheme was placed in operation last fall. According to figures issued by Acting Finance Minister J.
