WORLD HAPPENINGS
BRIEFLY TOLD

Domitien T. Robichaud, Ottawa,
has been appointed superintendent of
the Dominion government's bureau
of translation. His salary will range
from $4,800 to $5,400.

British producers are rapidly oust-
ing American goods from the Cana-
dian market, said Howard G. Fergu-
son, Canadian high commissioner to
Great Britain.

“Tourists will be worth $30,000,000
to $50,000,000 more to Canada this
year than last, as a result of efforts
to increase this traffic,” according to
D. Leo Dolan, director of the newly-
formed federal tourist bureau. .

One of the wealthiest men in
Poland, Count Jacob Potocki, died re-
cently, leaving his entire fortune,
amounting ot about $20,000,000, to a
medical institution for the treatment
of cancer and tuberculosis to be
founded in his name.

Aside from becoming a prominent
grain port, Churchill boasted an-
other distinction—it has become the
jumping-off place for supplies to the
northern missions. This season more
than 100 tons of mission supplies
were shipped out of Churchill.

Giving impetus to fattening of
market cattle in central and northern
Alberta, a portion fund of $75,000 for
the three prairie provinces to assist
farmers in buying stock has been
made available by the Dominion
Agricultural Credit Company, Ltd.

All lands owned by the University
of Manitoba are exempt from taxa-
tion in Winnipeg, Chief Justice D. A.
Macdonald ruled, granting an appli-
cation of the university for an in-
junction restraining the city from

Militaristic Nation
Premier Mussolini To Take Charge
Of Military Training In Italy

Premier Benito Mussolini gave
proof of tHe seriousness of his inten-
tion to make Italy a militaristic na-
tion by taking charge of activities to
that end, and creating a new govern-
ment department to supervise the
work.

The new department will be known
as the inspectorate of “pre apA post”
military training, and will be charged
with the responsibility of making
soldiers of all male Italians between
the ages of eight and 33.

The inspectorate will serve as a
co-ordinating link between the army,
navy and air ministries, all headed
by Il Duce personally, and the min-
istry of education and Fascist mili-
tary bodies.

Support Your Newspaper

In order to be of the greatest
value to its community a newspaper

legitimate support from subscribers,
advertisers and the users of printed
matter a sufficient amount to be able
to put out a paper worth while. The
better support your home paper has,
the more able it is to serve the com-
munity.

terest has been aroused in these |
articles, written by a well-known

handwriting expert. Have you had |

your handwriting analysed? See the |
announcement at the foot of the
article). |

|
A young lady from a small town |

} in Saskatchewan sends me a letter, |
| and encloses a specimen of the hand-/

| writing of her sweetheart.
| her letter follow:

Part of}
“In sending you
| my own handwriting, and also that
of my sweetheart, I would like you to
advise me. I am very sorely per-
| plexed. I love my sweetheart very
dearly, and I have always thought he
reciprocated my affection. But I am
beginning to wonder if he really does,
| and whether he is the right type of
| man for me. I love him very much,
dut would rather finish things with
him now, than to have a lot of
| trouble and unhappiness later on. . . .
We are engaged to be married, but
he k®eps putting off making a date
for the wedding. And I have been
told that he goes out with other girls.
He admits this, but begs me to for-
give him, and assures me that when
we are married, he will have nothing
more to do with other girls. At the
same time, he puts me off by telling
me that his business is much too in-
| secure for us to contemplate mar-
| riage now. Please advise me, and
| tell me the truth, whether it is good
or bad.”

I am sorry for my correspondent,
but am inclined to believe that she
is sensible enough to realize, as she
says in her letter, that it is better to
effect a cure now, than make a great
deal more trouble and unhappiness
for herself later on.

Her own handwriting shows a
warm, ardent nature that simply
must have the affection of others.
She is honest and trustworthy, and
has a good deal of natural pride. Her
writing shows that she would like to
own a home of her own, and that
family life would be her metier.

On the other hand, the writing of
her friend is not so good. It shows
unreliability and a predilection for
deceit. He is of a cooler type than
my correspondent, not naturally
affectionate in the kindly sense. He
is of a rather “physical” type.

My advice to the young lady is
that the young man is not the one
best suited for her. If she marries
him, ‘te will deceive her just as he is
deceiving her now, because it is his
nature to do so.

And there is a streak of dishonesty
in him. This, coupled with the very
definite indications of deceit, tells me
that she will only be unhappy if she
continues to go with him.

And, speaking of the practical, she
is not getting any younger. She is
losing her opportunities of making
the acquaintance of a man who may
become fond of her, and make her a
good husband.

Acquires Televison Device |

United States Buys American Rights
From Austrian Inventor
Gustav Boehm, Austrian inventor,
who claims to have perfected a cheap
television set, has sold the American
rights to his patent.
The patent, it is claimed, can be
adjusted to the ordinary radio receiy-
ing set.
The new apparatus is a short wave
receiving set capable of clear tele-
vision within a radius of 50 miles
and receiving pictures 444 by six feet
in size.
Herr Boehm, who has been work-
ing in Vienna for ten years on his in-
vention, left for New York to super-
vise the manufacture of his television
set. Details of its construction are
kept secret until the apparatus has
been placed on the market.

that place when it was raided?”
Locksmith: “I was making a bolt

Petrol From Salt Water

French Inventor Declares Production
Costs Cent Per Gallon

A mechanic at Rouen, M. Albert
Saheurs, claims to have discovered a
process by which he can convert salt
water into petrol at a cost of three
centimes a litre (about one cent a
gallon), says the San Francisco
Chronicle. The process is apparent-
ly simple: The salt water is pumped
through a filter into an electric oven
in which it comes into contact with
a chemical product of which Mr.
Saheurs alone knows the composition.

The water emerges in the form, ap-
parently, of petrol. M. Saheurs has
produced it in substantial quantities
and experts have so far failed to in-
validate his claim. He says that his
discovery is based on the observation
that natural deposits of petroleum
are always accompanied by deposits
of salt water. He is willing to sell
the secret for $125,000,000.

The entrance to his experimental
plant is guarded by two Gatling
guns, and he has personally driven
off intruders who tried to dismantle
one of his ovens at night.

Ve you've put off taking pictures of
_the Inside of your home because
of a vague notion that such pictures
are difficult, banish that notion and
get out your camera. Here are a
few pointers that may help you in
your first shots,

In the first place, you will need
to make time exposures. And for
successful time exposures the cam-
era must be absolutely steady, Use
a tripod, if you have one, or mount
the camera on some substantial
support such as a table. Too, the
camera must be level; otherwise
corners and doors and windows will
not be properly straight up and
down.

It {s a good idea to place your
camera so that you get only a little
of the ceiling in the view-finder.
There's more of interest nearer the
floor.

The secret of success in Sndoor
pictures lies {n controlling the light
reaching the various parts of the
room to be pictured. To begin with,
never point your camera directly at
the window or door through which
the greatest amount of light {s com-
ing. Keep the light behind or to the
side ofthe camera. If, as sometimes
happens, a sunny window Is in a par-
ticular part of the house you want to
take, you can eliminate sun-glare by
a very simple trick. Pull the shade of
that particular window clear down
and keep it down for an exposure
long enough to give you the other
features and details, Then, close the
shutter and run the shade up to its

give you striking and memorable pictures. All you need Is a watchful eye
and a handy camera.

INSIDE THE HOUSE .

“ordinary” of stairs can be made to

normal position. Now, go back to
the camera and, without changing
the film or the camera's position,
open the shutter again for a half
second longer

It's-a good idea to use a very
small Jens stop in taking indoor pic-
tures, because you want detail in
everything Focus on a point about
half-way between the camera and
the far side of the room; then,
when the lens {s stopped down you
will find that practically everything
is In sharp focus.

Avoid including large pleces of
furniture in the foreground, lest
they take up more space In the pic-
ture than they deserve.

Watch out for distracting reflec-
tions in mirrors or glass covered
pictures. By putting a small wad
of paper under one corner of a pic-
ture, thereby changing the angle
of the glass, You can usually get rid
of a reflection.

Exposure time will vary, of
course, with the brilliance of the
daylight and the degree to which
the walls reflect ght. On a bright
day, pictures In a predominantly
light colored room can be taken with
an exposure of five or ten seconds.
On dul! days, in dark rooms having
only one window, you will need as
much as five minutes, with the lens
at £16

If you've never tried Interlors,
you'll find them plenty of fun and
the results will surprise you with
their excellence.

Carry Out Strange Bequest

Tomb In England Opened Every Year
Since 1794

Following an annual practice of
140 years, a family tomb has again
been reopened in the Surrey town of
Sutton. Exactly 141 years ago Mrs.
Mary Gibson, whose parents were
buried in a vault, made certain be-
quests to the rector and church-
wardens of Sutton parish church on
condition that the Gibson family
vault should be opened and inspected
each year in August.

This year the assistant priest, Dr.
T. W. Crafor, entered the vault, in-
spected the four coffins, and offered
up a short prayer. Then the vault
which was made in 1777, was sealed
up for another year. In Mrs. Gib-
son’s will there is an instruction that
when the last member of the family
is buried in the tomb the keys shall
be thrown into the River Jordan.

At the time of Mrs. Gibson’s death
body-snatchers were active, and it is
generally thought that the reason for
the yearly inspection is to make sure
that the vault has not been tampered
with. A legend which has long ‘been
associated with the tomb states that
it is opened each year in order that
a toad which had made its home
Pthere might be fed, but there is no
evidence to be found in support of
this.

Makes “Record Flight”

Scientific Observer Times Eagle Fly-
ing 120 Miles An Hour

A drama of the air, in which a

golden eagle, pursued by falcons, was

timed by a scientific observer to fly

at an average speed of 120 miles an

just been revealed.

Dr, F. Fraser Darling, making ob-
servations on the flight of birds in
the western highlands of Scotland,
kept the golden eagle under observa-
tion through a stalking telescope.

With a stop watch, he timed its
flights between different points, and
obtained observed speeds that have
never before been reported.

Throughout the “record flight,” the
eagle appeared to be flying at full
pressure to get rid of thé pursuing
falcons,

When the eagle was timed at 120
miles an hour, it was actually mak-
ing a steep climb, and, as near as
the observer could estimate, gained
1,000 feet in altitude in three and a
half miles.

This would mean that had it been
exerting the same energy in a level
flight it would have been travelling
at between 140 and 150 miles an
hour.

Land Was Valuable

Poor Potato Ground In Australia
Yields Paying Gold
Originally a potato patch, a piece
of land in Ballarat, Australia, has

Three years ago two brothers
worked it as part of their farm from
daylight to dawn for small return,
One morning, after heavy rain, one
of them found that part of the crop
had been washed off the hillside, ex-
posing a gold-bearing reef. Since
then the reef has yielded nearly $50,-
000 worth of gold.
