Turning on a simpering, whining tone in order to get your own way is giving your natural, nonâ€"whining voice a bad break. Allowing your jaw and throat to become so tense that your voice tones become nasal is another great mistake. Follow The Ear To Speak Well ‘Merchants in Kingston and also neighboring Barriefield say that since the fort has been turned into an internment camp they have had more inquiries about it than ever before.

FAR EAST: A Munich of the east took place last week when Great Britain agreed to close the Burma Road to munitions and war materâ€" Egypt, and British Somaliland. Seâ€" vere fighting took place at a numâ€" ber of outposts. Above and below the Suez, at the same time, British bombers attacked Italian army, navy and air bases, from Mediterâ€" ranean Libya to the tip of the Red MEDITERRANEAN: _ Threefold Italian attacks against British posâ€" sessions in the Middle East were keeping up their pressure last week, according to dispaiches from Cairo â€" against Kenya, against During the week, while German air raiders continued extensive atâ€" tacks on coastal defenses of Engâ€" land, daring R.A.F. bombing squadâ€" rons acted more vigorously than ever in flights over Germany. They wrought great havoc upon airports, barge concentrations, oil depots, munitions factories and jumpingâ€" off places for enemy air forces and invading troops. END OF REPUBLIC FRANCE: The end of the demoâ€" cratic Third French Republic â€" which rose from the ashes of the Empire of Napoleon III and fell under the Nazi conquest â€" was reached last week when the French Parliament approved a bill giving the Government of Marshal Petain full powers a new Constitution. And France became a totalitarian state, its motto no longer "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," but "Work, family, fatherland". "A LONG WAR" A Russian writer, estimating Briâ€" tain‘s chances in the coming strugâ€" gle with Germany, said last week: "If Britain is really determined to fight to a victorious end, then, reâ€" lying upon her geographical posiâ€" tion, the tremendous power of her naval forces and exceptionally powâ€" erful financial and economic reâ€" sources of the British metropolis, Dominions and colonies, she may maintain a long, stubborn resistâ€" ance . . . The landing of armed forces on the British Isles repreâ€" sents, even for, the powerful Gerâ€" man army, an exceptionally difficult operation. This perhaps is still the only real means by which Britain might be forced to capitulate, unâ€" less the struggle ends in some comâ€" promise. That is why the war may continue for a long time and assume completely new forms." Prime Minister Churchill in his Sunday address declared that the British would rather see London laid in ruins than Hitler victorious. Germans who enter Britain will get short shrift, the Premier said, and should the invader come, there will be no lying down to him as in other countries. BRITAIN: Stormy receptions in the British House met these anâ€" nouncements: that Great Britain had formally acceded to Japan‘s request to close the Burma road lifeline of the central Chinese govâ€" ernment; that a bill dispensing with trial by jury and the right of appeal in wartime Britain was beâ€" ing pushed by the Home Secreâ€" tary; that the government scheme to evacuate children to the Western hemisphere had been postponed. THE PUSH SOUTH A cabled dispatch from Helen Kirkpatrick, Chicago News‘ corresâ€" pondent in London, reported indiâ€" cations last week were that Gerâ€" man forces might go southward either before or simultancously with their expected attack on Great Britain; their objectives being Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar and the Azores, (Military experts regard Gibraltar and the Azores among the primary German objectives, as both of these can control and domâ€" inate some of the world‘s most imâ€" portant trade routes). 1 A T o o,l0 h.

THE CHOICE FOR BRITAIN Reports circulating in Rome had it that first Italy and Germany would serve an uiltimatum upon Great Britain offering her the choice between surrender and desâ€" truction. An article in Virginio Gayâ€" da‘s newspaper, obviously referring to Prime Minister Churchill‘s own speech of July 14th, said that "Briâ€" tain will have to settle to her last account, choosing between submisâ€" sion to the renovating, restorative forces of Europe, or extremely grim and violent war in which inexorâ€" able destruction, a fateful, precipiâ€" tous step toward final overthrow, will be measured not by years or weeks, of which Churchill spoke, but by days or hours." 2 230 °_ 100.

SYRIA‘S THE KEY NEAR EAST: Events moved toâ€" ward a showdown in the Near East. Beneath an outward calm, forces were brewing last week in Syria, which may change the entire face of that part of the world. In a disâ€" patch from Cairo, New York Times‘ correspondent Joseph Levy wrote: "It is gonerally agreed that Syria today is the key to the situation in the Near East, Whatever happens in Syria, whether political or miliâ€" tary, will affect all other Arab lands. Now that France has collapâ€" sed, Arab nationalist aims, politiâ€" cal ambitions, and the longâ€"dreamâ€" edâ€"of federation of the Arab States have sprung to sudden rebirth. It is with the help of Britain, that the Arabs now expect to attain their aims. They want to see quick Briâ€" tish action, action which would give the Syrians immediate moral and material support in their effort to become independent." NO. 1 GUESSING GAME UNITED STATES: One of the biggest guessing games in all hisâ€" tory was in progress last week at the Democratic national convention in Chicago, while the delegates (and the candidates) waited, feeling more and more frustrated, for Preâ€" sident Roosevelt to come out with his intentions. For engineered susâ€" pense, there had perhaps never been anything like it. 3. Dissatisfaction with the Yonal regime since its inception, on the ground of its "excessive" liberalâ€" ism. 2.

Its failure to satisfy expansionâ€" Ists who have been demanding that Japan take full advantage of the "‘golden" situation created by the fall of France and Holland, both of whom have rich colonies in the Far East, Collapse of the Yonai regime was ascribed to three major reasons: If, as a result of the cutting off of the Burma lifeline, the Chinese government is forced to conclude a peace with Japan, it will mean that in short order Japan will find her hands free to seizo French Indoâ€" China and the Dutch East Indies. At home in the Land of the Risâ€" ing Sun, theâ€"Cabinet of Premier Yonai resigned en bloc, apparently to make way for a new regime all ready to fulfil.Japanese army deâ€" mands for a "firm hand" policy in the Orient. fals needed by China in her war against Japanese agression; and to prohibit the transport of arms into China from the British crown colâ€" ony ofâ€"Hong Kong.

JOB INSURANCE Canadians earning less than $2,â€" 000 a year (4,660,000 people in the Dominion are affected) will particiâ€" pate in the contributory unemployâ€" mont insurance scheme which came before the House of Commons last week. By 1941 it is expected the program will cover 2,100,000 wageâ€" earners in all types of industries and other work. Employees â€" diâ€" vided into seven classes â€" will conâ€" tribute from 12 to 36 cents a week; the employers‘ contribution ranges from 21 cents to 27 cents, accordâ€" ing to the wage group. The governâ€" ment adds a grant of oneâ€"fifth of the total contributions of employers and employees, and pays the cost of administration. Benefits for single persons range from $4.08 to $10.20 a week; those for wageâ€"earners with dependants from $4.80 to $14.40 a week. To qualify for the benefits, a worker must have paid 30 weekly contributions or 180 days. Payment of benefits begins nine days after unemployment.
