, 9. TI^AVtL lfirf\C55liD^5 . P-N* A 4^ > Edinburghâ€" "Auld Reekie" Edinburgh Is oue of the three most beautiful cities in the world â€" at least, thi8 is the claim that has been made tor the Scottish capital. Beauty la re- lative and superlative statements are based on various things, mainly taste, experience and, to a certain extent, the special circumstances which par- ticularly influence a judgment. There is no room for doubt, however, that Edinburgh is one of the world's most Deautifu'l cities. Primness Street, with Its magnificent sunken gardens on one side and the fortress Castle dominating the whole elty, is a glorious sight which Nature and man, in combination, have rarely provided. Edinburgh, as the capital of Scotland, is intimately associated with the history of a country made fa- mous by the imaginative writing.? of Scottish poets and romancers. The ridge, which slopes down from the Castle, curries the high tenements, at one lime, one of the wonders of the world in city architecture â€" the former homes of the nobility, now teeming Witli the families of the poor. In spite tl this and because of Edinburgh".? iradual evolution, there is no sense of Incongruity in the mingling of the an- tlent and the modern. The original of Edinburgh was ioubtless military. Its early history is ihrouded in tradition, even the name being a source of dispute, some hold- tag the belief that King Ebranke â€" of the twenty sons and thirty daughters â€"founded the city 1000 years before Ihe Christian Era. Simon of Durham's Wtribution of the name "Edwins- burch" to Edwin of Northumberland kas even been rejected by Celtic icholars as an error of the 8th century ehronicler. The Princess Street Gardens were laid out on the site of the Nor' Loch, the body of water at the foot ofCastle Rock. One of the most unique fea- tures of the Gardens Is the arrange- ment of a main railway line, running through them, so as not to destroy the harmony and attractiveness of the Mpect. Sunk out of sight and dis- guised by trees, this important connec- tion has not the slightest disturbing effect; the only indication of its exist- ince is an occasional glimpse of white Iteam arising Rock. This, indeed, but adds another element of variety to the alluring ijiectacle. Three incidents, differing entirely lo character, stand out in relief when I think of Edinburgh. The first of these dates back to the days of the war. On one of my "leaves" I decided to JO to Scotland and enjoyed my first flsit to Edinburgh by patronizing the excellent transportation system and riding around the city on the upper deck of a tram. At oue of the stops a number of elderly men got on the car. Each of them, though dressed in civil- ian clothes, carried a rifle and had a Ted band around the upper part of the coat sleeve. I realized that these were part of a "home guard" but paid little attention to them until one came beside me and began to talk. He liad noticed the "Canada" on my shoulder-straps and wished to be courteous. In the cour.se of conversa- tion, he remarked, "I have a brother- in-law living in Canada; I wonder â- whether you might know him.' I did not e.thibit any trace of amusement at the question but asked him where ills relative lived, and his name. To my surprise he said, "He is Professor Mavor and he is connected with the 'university of Toronto." Of course I 'knew of Professor Mavt r and told him 'bo. Immediately I was invited to go to his home for tea. 1 declined at 'firstâ€" not very forcibly, I am afraid â€" but let myself be persuaded to accept Ills hospitality, which was open to me throughout my stay in Edinburgh.

Toronto, EMinburgb on the noon train to sail for home and mentioned that they were going to await the time of de- parture in the huteL The Scottish War Memorial had just been opened a few weeks, before; I had been through it the previous- day and asked Dr. Moore whether he had seen it. H answered "No, and I do not think I shall go; I have seen war memorials in manycuun- tries and they are all the same.' "But," I said, "you have never seen one like this; I never have and. If this does not tug at your heart-strings, nothing win." He said that they would go. Months afterwards I met. him on a Toronto street car; he put his hand on my knee and, with a voice surcharged with emotion, said: "Young man, I shall never be able'to than!: you suf- ficiently for persuading me to go through the Scottish War Memorial â€" I have never seen anything like it â€" the whole sentiment of the Scottish race Is embodied in that chapel.' Somo day, if the editor permits me, X may tell you more about Edinburgh and its War Memorial. Because of the Christmas season, 1 will tell you, next week, about Prague, Czechoslo- vakia, where "Good King Wenceslas" of the Christmas carol lived lOUO years ago. Mr. Cursiterâ€" for that was the gentle- man's name â€" showed me much kind- ness, took me to the Arts and Letters Club, accompanied me to Glasgow, where I went with him to the Univer- sity and saw there a wonderful collec- tion of arrow-heads and other flint in- struments, collected by him during his thirty years residence at Kirkwall, in the Orkneys. This collection may still be seen under the name of the Cursiter collection. On the journey over he insisted â€" with real Scotch thrift â€" on riding in a third-class com- partment, but, with equal insistance, he held that I, as an officer, could not ride otherwise than first-class. To please him I acceded, going to Glas- gow, but on our return journey I had my way and rode third-class in his company. Another experience took place right on Princess Street. This was some years later. 1 had gone for a stroll one evening when, passing a couple standing by the curb, I was surprised to see the girl suddenly knock the man's hat off and belabour him with __ _ hands and feet. He, with rare pa- atThe°"foororCastie '''®°<=<^' walked away and, after watch- ing developments, I continued in the direction I had started. I stopped in front of a store window, displaying plaid goods, when I became aware of someone at my sjde and saw "my lady of the street fight.' I moved to an- other window; she followed and said, "You maun be Scotch.' I made no ans- wer and she repeated the remark, add- ing, "if yon werena. you wouldna be interest' d in tartans." "All right, my girl," 1 i 'I'm Scotch and I'm in- terestt.. . tartans: please run along.'' To which she replied, "Am I no good lookin".' I wad be no bad lookin' if I hadna lost my teeth,' 'and opening her mouth she showed where three or four teeth had apparently been knockd out. I said. 'Are you not the girl who was having a fight with a man up the street " "Fight with a man," quoth she, "I dinua fash ony ficht; I hae a loss 0' memory betimes." Then she asked for money, and when 1 protested that she had been drinking and had money for that, she replied naively, "But 1 didna pay for it." I had to buy her off, finally, with a sixpence. The last incident occurred in the North British Station Hotel one morn- ing in 1927. I was standing in the ro- tunda when 1 felt a baud on my shoulder and, turning about, I saw- Rev. Dr. T. Albert Moore, who is now the Moderator of the United Church of Canada. He said, "Have you had breakfast?" and, on my reply that 1 was just about to have some, he kind- ly invited me to sit at the table with his wife and him He was leaving ARMSUSELESSONAWETUAY Rheumatism Made Work a Torture BUT KRUSCHEN PUT HIM RIGHT Hero is a remarkable instance ol thu banner in which damp weather cau tflect the joints of one who is subject to rheumatism.

Rescue Mected Of Alberta Party Nearly Two Months of Isola- tion For Crew and Pas- sengers of River Steeimer Ednuinton. â€" Close to two months of isolation for members of the crew anci passengers of the river boat Mabel were ended recently while plans were taking shape to bring long-awaited succor to Gunnar Aspar, si«k trapper at Reed's trading post. Captain Lew Morton and three mem- bers of the crew of the Mabel were flown out from its isolated location, 400 miles north of here on the Atha- bf.ska river, to Fort McMurray by Pilot McMillan of Mackenzie Air Ser- vices, Ltd. With their arrival at the air base, end of steel in Alberta's northland and jumping oif spot for Northern sky trails, word reached here of what happened to the Mabel. Hastening southward from Fort Smith, on the -\lberta-Northwest Ter- ritories borderland, with miners and supplies from the Great Bear Lake mining lleld.s in the lemote hinterland, the Mabel lecame entrapped in the ice in an October early winter sally. When Captain Morton fouffd it would be impossible for the craft to break through the heavy ice iioes and reach its intended destination. Fort McMur- ray, 300 miles north of here, he order- ed tile boat taken from the water be- fore it could freeze in. Aided by more than two dozen men who were aboard, Capt. Morton had the vessel dragged ashore on skids. It was undamaged by its battle with the ice floes. By small groups of twus and three, the passengers and crew had trekked from their unaccustomed "residence" on the Athabaska, most of them to Po- lar Point, about 100 miles away. .V protracted in-between .â- reason â€" a long mild spell succeeding the early cold snap which had prevented the comple- tion of the Mabel's" scheduled trip â€" prevented their rescue by airplane. A few lemained aboard the strand- ed boat. They lacked neither food nor supplies and suffered no hardship. Only one man remains with the Ma- bel today. He was left to stand guard until the remainder of her large ireight cargo can be flown out to Fort McMurray. Traffic Officers to Wear Tail~Lights Sacramento, Calif. â€" Sacramento police officers directing trafllc past congested intersections at night are to wear red tail-lights so they won't get bumped. This is Superiulendent of Traffic Fritz Kaminsky's latest idea on how to retluce the mortality rate among corner tratiic directors. "Motorists complain that they can't see the traffic officers from behind aud we can't afford to put in overhead lights," Kaminsky ."said. "Therefore, we shall hang three-inch red reflectors on the back of the officer's belt." Told in Brief Today more than 14,000,000 people are dependent upon charity in the United Stales. Free meals to the number of 62,300,- 000 were served to 400,000 children In British schools last year. There are now 147 open-air schools in Gt. Britain; when the movement started in ItllO. there were seven. The British Museum contains tbe largest library in the w/rld; It has some 5,000,000 books under oue roof. Light civil aeroplanes produced in the United Kingdom are definitely frr ahead of those of any other European nation. So perfect has the system of weath- c- watching become in Gt. Britain that every day 7,000 facts about the weath- er are at the disposal of forecasters.

Girls were first called "flapper-" early in the eigiiteenth century, froto a fancied likness in them to young ducks which make a lot of noise with their wings. Roads in the United Kingdom are getting crowded. In the course of a recent "census." '.t Automobile As- sociation counted an average of nearly 70,000 more vehicles per day than in 1932. While still at school, the young peo- ple ot Carmel, a small town in New York State, !t?arn the rudiments of any trade or profession, so that they may discover if they are really fitted for it. In the last three years, more than 101,750 pi.rson3 have been settled ' Canadian farms or given farm employ- ment under the auspices of the Gov- ernment nd the two great railways. Gt.

Recent Events From Overseas Likes Honest Vulgarity. London. â€" "I like honest vulgarity," said Mr. George Rubey at a literary luncheon held in a West i£nd restaur- ant recently. To an audienc e of 500 he tried to make a serious speech on "Vulgarity." But the audience â€" and his own eye- browii â€" compelled him to be a shade "Robeyesque" at moments. "I am a believer ia honest vulgar- ity," he said. "So was William Shake- speare. Give me a joke that is a Joke. None of your sly suggestions for me. "Honest vulgarity ia the finest anti- dote for present-day hypocriffy^, for there's nothing finer than to laugh like a man with your head thrown back. "Now I've got that off my chest, I'll give you an instance of what I mean by honest vulgarity." And he didâ€" but that is a Robey story. "Most Slummy City. There are 30.000 cellar dwellings in Loudon â€" dark, damp, and heeCo-iufest- ed basements inhabited by 100,000 women and children. This statement is made by E. Friend, chairman of the London Trades Coun- cil. "London Is the most slummy city in the world, having 250,000 living under slum conditions," he says. First Catch an Octopus. London.â€" .V U-year-old schoolboy made his first attempt at angling in Folkestone Harbour recently. He had a bite and tried to wind in his catch. He tugged and tugged. Other anglers helped him, and slowly the catch came nearer. It was an octopu.s with tentacles 4 ft. , 6 ins. across! It wound its tentacles round the iron stanchions. A man slashed at it with a knife, but it thrust out Its tentacles menacingly. It was killed after being stabbed several times. Classified Advertising j VATsvra AN t)^^!!:!!

Better Forecasts Advised By Science Board Cambridge, Mass. â€" A change in weather forecasting, by using new- scientific Icnowledge of the upper air to makv predictions more acurate,! was recommended by the Science Ad- visory Board recently appointed by President Roosevelt. I "Mass-air analysis," is the princi- pal recommendation. It would reach] nearly to the stratosphere with 20 j to 25 "upper air" stations. High fly- 1 iiig pilot balloons and military fliers I would gather daily data on the co!d upper reaches. j New daily upper air weather maps| would be issued, similar to the pres- ent twice-daily ground charts. They would cover the upper humidities, temperatures and pressures, as well as flying conditions. This mass-air analysis, the committee states, "un- questionably make short range fore- casts much more reliable." Upper air analysis has revealed for example why storms sometimes ."nd unexpectedly and others hand on for days after they should be over. These storms are fed by vast lakes of air, cold on one side, warm on the other The lakes nmy be as big as a prov- ince and miles deep, ur considerably smaller. When they arc smaller the storm fuel may run out prematurely and the tempest subside. "Cold fronts" are another condition needing upper air ajjalysis. They may be half a continent wide, twice the height of the Himalayas and al- most as sharply defined as a moun- tain precipice. £700 Conscience Money. One of the largest sums of con- science money recorded In recent years is acknowledged in the personal column of a London daily by Neville Chamberlain. Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. "The Chauctlior >i ni,,- K.\chequer acknowledges the receipt of £700 from J. A. J. on account of income tax." the item reads. "J. A. J.." however, has not set up a record. In August, 1930, a mau who adopted "City" as bis "nom-de-con- scicnce" sent £2S0, while during the war i;5,000 was received by the Treas- ury ;i- ronscietice money.

During h week 'J,2u2,050 vehicles ;-assed the < bservers. The average was rjearly 700,000 more a day than in 1032. and the total shows an in- crease of nearly 1.0<.>0,000, compared v/ith the census in 1928.

Lieutenant William R'chardson, from the same barracks, said that he and Lieutenant Cusack were standing on the springs at the back of a two- seater car which was being driven by a ship's officer to Tilbury Docks. There were three other officers in the dickey-seat and another officer beside the driver. .As they rounded a bend Lieutenant Cusack fell from iho car and became unconscious.
