IT‘S WHAT‘S iN ‘*EM! Our experience is that the public does not care very much who writes the editorials, ‘The people who read newspaper comment upon the issues of the day judge of what is written, not of the writer. They are just as likely to disagree with as to approve what is written, Every editor knows that. It is not who the writer 18, but what he says, that counts.â€"Hamâ€" ilton Spectator.

At this time of year the starâ€" ling is not a clan bird but an indiâ€" vidual, A pair goes away and nests, And a starling, male or female, will sit in a tree and with no particular cong of its own will imitate most of our native birds, the robins, the sparrow, even the song sparrow and the catbird.

When seen alone or in pairs most people mistake them for blackbirds, and do not go to the trouble of perceiving that they are not purple grackles, being too small. They are similar in size to robins, but shorter, less stout of body, have smailer heads and longer bills and whiter, Failures, it is said, havo almost disappeared from the records.

On the one hand the standard for acceptance had become higher â€" it was higher than would be required by any insurance company for a firstâ€"class life, On the other hand the number of rejects had gone down 60 per cent, in 1931 to 45 per cent. in the precent year. But it should be remembered that, thanks to unâ€" employment pay, there are fewer men of the class near destitutloni which at one time supplied so many . recruits to the army; and also that & koldier‘s life is more attractive in itselft and a better avenue of apâ€" proach than it used to be to subseâ€" quent employment.

THE EMPIRE A Pointed Problem We learn, for instance, that the railways form Britain‘s largest priâ€" vate undertaking, the capital investâ€" ed in them amounting to the huge sum of £1,092 million. They are also the world‘s largest dock owners and the world‘s largest hotel owners. Britain‘s railways also have the world‘s highest authentic rail speeds by steamâ€"102.8 m.p.h. by the Plyâ€" mouth Ocean Mail Express, on 9th May, 1904, and 100 m.p.h.

But the motto of all parties was "Sufficient unto the day" â€".To tide over one crisis the seeds were sown of another, much more serious one. And flow the crop is about to be reaped. But if the outâ€" look for the grower is gloomy, the outlook for the taxpayer is even less attractive. So far he has merely been requested to pay more than twice the price at which wheat could be imported. According to every precedent he will soon have to find export subsidies as well. _ Having created the sarplus, the Government will be obliged to find ways and means of disposing of it, and its natural course is to do what it has done before and what other governâ€" ments are doing, It is typical of the topsyâ€"turvy state of affairs in the world that Australia, one of the great wheatâ€"exporting countries â€" of the world, is distributing £4,000,000 among its growers this year in the form of a bounty of 3d. a bushel, a payment of 38. an acre and a half a million as special compensation fot those who have sustained crop losses.â€"Cape Argus.
