Farming and Metallurgy "4â€"In Macedonia and the Balâ€" kans and on the middle Dasaube table villages exist: Their size can be estimated from the cemeteries comprising a maximum number of 180 graves. Besides farming the only specialized industry is metalâ€" lurgy, and commercia!l organizaâ€" tion is teo rudimentary to make metal generally available for tools.

Seven Zonmes of Activity "At the beginning of the cenâ€" tral European bronze age towards the middle of the third millenium, er 2800 B.C. than 1800," Prof. Childe told the British Associaâ€" tion for the Advancement of Science, meeting in Cambridge, England. Europe‘s "bronze age" was pushed back 1,000 years to 2800 B.C. by Professor W. G. Childe, of â€" Edinburgh University, who drew a picture of civilization as it existed then in Europe and the Near East, based on recent archâ€" acological discoveries. Excavations in Greece, the Danâ€" ube regions and elsewhere have convineed him the continental bronze age should be dated "nearâ€" Bronze Age Now Dated 2,800, B.C. With 43 ships of the home fleet ordered to proceed to the North Sea, battle station of the British navy, when the German Nazi parâ€" ty meets at Nuremberg during the week of Sept. 5, Sir John Simon, ABOVE, chancellor of the exâ€" chequer, declared that Premier Chamberlain‘s previous warnings to Germany in regard to Czechoâ€" slovakia, still hold good, and at the same time warned that Britain misht have to fight in the event of war on the continent. In an indirect way he pleaded with Gerâ€" many not to use pressure in the Sudeten minority problem. No Crime Cases For 17 Assizes Prince Edward Island, King‘s County Hears the Presiding Judge Give Addresses on Topics of General Interest, Talks To Jury Judge Arsenault told the jury it had become customary to give an address on topics of interest. Hs talked on the importance of the tourist industry to the people of rural districts. He urged that farmers maintain the good appearance of their propâ€" erties. ‘"The special beauty of the province is the contrast of the green foliage of the grass and grain against the red background of the soil, and nicely kept buildings add to this beauty." Crime is so rare in King‘s Counâ€" ty that the presiding justice at Suâ€" proeme Court assizes has little else to do but give a general address. Justice A. E. Arsenault hag been holding assizes in the county seat of Georgetown for 17 years and has not yet tried a criminal case. "It is a most remarkable record for the county and one which is probably not equalled in all Carâ€" ada.

Under the prodâ€" ding of Dictator Kemal Ataturk, the patient has taken up his bed and begun to walk. Turkey is now a modern, cfficientlyâ€"run state, with a string of dofensive alliances and nonmagsression â€" pacts â€" extending from midâ€"Asia to midâ€"Europe. It has suddenly become a key nation whose recovery from "sickness" is a matter of vital interest to all the other nations of Europe. In proâ€"war days, Turkey was tied with _ Imperial _ Germanyâ€"today, things are the other way about. If anything, Turkey is on the side of the democracies, becoming increasâ€" ingly cordial with Great Britain and France (Britain recently lent Turkey money for rearimament). She has a friendiy aliiance with Soâ€" viet Russia, stratesgically important. But here‘s the main point for the presert: as a potential leader of the states of the Balkan Entente (Yugoslavia, CGroece, Rumania and Turkey) and Bulgaria, Turkey can swing that corner of Rurope into line against the Romeâ€"Berlin axis, can block German expansion down the Dazxube towards the nearâ€"East. think: The world‘s high speed king, Captain George E. T. Eyston, of England, feels that at almost 560 miles an hour ke virtually has reached the ceiling of land speed. His chief rival, John Cobb; also of London, holds however that there is no limit to the rate of motion man can attain on the ground. Eyston last month was officially timed at 247.16 miles an hour as he rocketed his Thunderbol: autoâ€" mobile through the measured mile on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah.

CALGARY,. â€" Prcapects for marketing western cattle in Eastâ€" ern Canada and the United States this fall rarely looked brighter, Jack Byers, manager of the Westâ€" ern Stock Growers‘ Association, stated on his return from an exâ€" tensive tour of Eastern Canada and the Eastern United States.

Western Cattle Markets Bright Here‘s where the womenfolk on Ontario‘s farms don‘t get a break. From dawn to dark it‘s nothing but cooking, serving meals, washing up for a gang of hungry (ch boy!) workers. _ Some farm housewives have to bake as many as a dozen pies a day during the busy season.

Is it a case of rats leaving a sinking ship? Or is Hitler leaving Mussoâ€" lini to carry on, doubleâ€"strength, in Spain? Perhaps the airmen are to be used elsewhere, on some more important front? "Racing tires to hold up at greater speeds can‘t be built. At 360 the outside of the tire is trayâ€" elling at the speed of sound, about 700 miles an hour.

In the picture, Captain Ey:ston (Centrey) is shown as he climbed from his racing monsier after making the 347â€"mile record. They were very happy, indeed, as they looked at the gorgeous flowâ€" ers and shrubs, feeling that their new home was more beautiful than any tongue could describe.

THE WONDERLAND OF OZ Must Not Hide A Mental Case Doctor Decries Trend In Some Families To Feel Ashamed Of Mentally 1 Person In R. B. Goodwin, of Waterford, Ont., is assured he had in his garâ€" den the paramount tomato crop in the district. His are of the standard variety, and on one plant alone were counted 41 large, smooth tomatoes. The entire crop yields of this average and presents a picture of rarity. Bcause the average family is reâ€" luctant to reveal the presence of mental diseases among its memâ€" bers, Michigan‘s problems and its expenses in handling these cases in state hospitals as well as in pris ons has increased, according to Dr. I. N. La Victoire, psychiatrist at the Michigan Reformatory. The British Medical Association has just voted recognition to chiâ€" ropodists. A mistaken feeling of shame has developed through the ages about mental disorders, Dr. Victoire said. Most families seek to shelter relaâ€" tives who develop mental discases instead of seeking prompt aid for them at public and private instituâ€" tions. The result, he said, is that such persons become worse in the same manner that persons physicâ€" ally ill who are not given treatâ€" ment become worse. Makes Cure More Difficult This, Dr. La Victoire believes, leads to more cases of violent disâ€" orders and insanity and prevents the recovery of many who might be cured. It also increases the state‘s cost for treatment of the in dividuals when they have to be publicly institutionalized. H One Plant Bears 41 Big Tomatoes The Home "You‘ve never seen it before? . . . .

THE SMALL TOWN LEARN TO SWIM Roger Babson, statistician and publicist, hit the headlines recentâ€" ly by advising university graduâ€" ates not to get married hastily but to get a job in a small town and to put their savings into a small farm. The Financial Post commenting agrees that the small town has always been a good place to live. "Today, any disadvantages it may have had as to distance and isolation have disappeared. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO CANADA By Fred Neher Then a thought struck her and she whispered: "Henry some sayâ€" age beasts can be conquered by the human eye. I‘ll eye that lion and save our lives." "Try it, Em," he returned, also in a whisper. "Look at him as you do at me sometimes." Aunt Em turned upon the lion a wild dilated eye. She glared at the immense beast steadily and the lion, who has been‘bitnking"&t them quietly, began to appear @neasy and disturbed.

He would be a rash man, however, who would say it would be immaâ€" terial to national interests if these forees were so potent as to colour aid influence the public mind to the detriment of logical thinking. We rather fear that an adorable film star in a questionable cause would carry a public election at the expense of an ordinary and less attractive nwrtal, irrespective of the spotlessness of the latter‘s banner. Such would represent the dethronement of reason.â€"Belfast Telegraph. Traditional qualities of friendliâ€" ness, freedom and fresh air have been enhanced by most of the amenities of ‘city‘ life." Those of us living in small towns and sometimes looking longâ€" ingly toward the glitter of the big city should realize that after all the big city romance of living is where your friends are neighbors and your neighbors all friends.
