They like to trace their ancestry back and discover whence they came in the hope of discovering some progenitor who distinguished himself â€" and they usually find one.

TORONTO. â€" Market excitement, which has carried Canadian July wheat to within fraction of $1.50 a bushel and has left Chicago July wheat just over $1.25, is the brightâ€" er side to the disastrous crop situaâ€" tion in the Canadian West. Farmers in the West who have any wheat to sell are now assured a good price, but, judging by latest reports from the wheat belt, the Canadian crop this year is now certain to touch an allâ€"time low in the h‘story of the West.

Th‘s, the bureau said, is 11,619,000 bushâ€" els below the first estimate by the Argentino Government. Abandoned acreage is now estimated at 3,982,â€" 000 acres, against 4,112,000 acres in the first estimate. There are 19,â€" 963,000 bushels of wheat still availâ€" able for export. The bureau said Argentina is not at present a factor in international trading. Big Plan to Conserve Saskatcheâ€" The teachers expressed the hope that those municipalities which have made no move in this direction will do so next year. In Windsor for example, teachers had a 20 per cent. cut, oneâ€"half of that will be restored when school opens in the fall. A move has been made for equalization of salaries in the Windsor district with the result that outside municipalities will bring their salary schedule up to that of Windsor City. In many of the smaller schools teachers will, as a result, receive a flat $100 or $200 more next year than last year, and in the cases of the larger schools, the percentage of salary cut will be returned by half or completely in most cases. Six months ago the Federation set an objective to secure restoration of these cuts. The 200 members atâ€" tending the meeting indicated" they were greatly encouraged by the acâ€" tion of the School Boards in the matâ€" ter. Salary Cuts Restored TORONTO.â€"School Boards genâ€" erally throughout the Province have completely or partially restored the salary cuts imposed on teachers durâ€" ing the past few years, reports at the summer meeting of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers‘ Federaâ€" tion in the Physics Building of the University of Toronto, revealed. Five hundred adwisory bureaux for working women have been set up by the German Labor Front throughâ€" out the country. One of the principal concerns of the women‘s sections is transferring women from heavy jobs into lighter work, by exchanging them with men. As far as possible this is done withâ€" out diminution of wages.

Mrs. Estes said her abilâ€" ity to resume work shortly after childbirth was due to health rules. "We eat only raw foods, such as fruits, vegetables and nuts," she said. ‘"We do not serve fish or fowl or meats of animals with bloodstreams. NEWPORT, Wales.â€"The King and Queen paid a twoâ€"day state visit to Wales last week. This town was in gala attire to grect their majesties, who were met by the Lord Lieutenâ€" ant of Monmouthshire, Sir Henry Matherâ€"Jackson. Then the King inâ€" spected a guard of honor from the Monmouth Regiment while guns of the 83rd Welsh Field Brigade thunâ€" dered a salute. Brilliant sunshine marked the start of the tour.

Under construction in the Boeing works is a new giant capable of lifting forty tons with motors deâ€" veloping 6,000 horsepower. It will be a three decker with accommodation for seventy three day passengers or forty sleepers. Fuel will be carried in the wings and sponsons while a cat walk through the leading edge will allow engineers free access to the motors while in flight. Based on the cost of Pacific flights at the preâ€" sent time, fares to Europe will probâ€" ably be around $450 to $500. King ard Queen Pay State Visit To Welsh Subjects Over the stormy Atlantic, two groat flying boats have just completed the first round trip in what may become, in time, a regular passenger route to Europe, Under twentyfour hours is the aim and as soon as the route has been tested under all weather condiâ€" tions, it is reasonable to expect that the object will be attained. Two points are of particular interest in the Atâ€" lantic flights, first, there is the ease wih which the ships performed their tasks and the margin of safety indiâ€" cated by the fact that the American Clipper, one of the planes inauguratâ€" ing the service, had sufficient fuel left on completion of the trip for an additional two thousand miles. Tragedy and triumph marked anâ€" other week in the history of aviation. Tragedy as the American Navy carâ€" ried on a hopeless search in the viâ€" cinity of Howland Island, in mid Paâ€" cific, for some trace of the missing Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan. Miss Earhart has been distinguished for her daring flights ever since her successful crossing of the Atlantic and her disappearance on the present venture has been the more tragic from the fact that it was her last great adventure.

Last week, a Royal Comâ€" mission recommended the partition of Palestine into three territories as a solution to a problem reaching back over twenty years. The Arabs were to get the largest portion, then a sec tion for the Jows and in between, a British mandated territory tontainâ€" ing Jerusalem and other holy places. to form a buffer state separating the two fractions. Neither Arabs nor Jews are satisfied and new outbreaks of violence are expected. The quarrel goes back to tangled war promises at a time when Britain was hard pressâ€" ed for support in the East. The Arabs who participated in the famous rebellion directed by T. E. Lawrence, were promised independence and a unified Arab state, At the same time, to win Jewish support, the British promised to create a homeland for their race in Palestine. Since that time, the Jewish poprlation has inâ€" creased from 65,000 to 400,000 in spite of the continuous opposition of the Arabs, Outbreaks have been frequent and the present plan is advanced as a means of separating the races enâ€" tirely now that it seems impossible for them to live together in any form of peace. + * L B And while Russia carried on her conquest of th» air, the outer world hears occasional echoes of internal strife as Stalin continues his bood purge of the army.
