At the close of the directors' meeting, ward, Mr, Firestone greeted him with the following words: "Well, Mr. Be- Saw, you've been made President of the Canadian Company."

Her national resources are only beginning to be developed and her export trade is expanding rapidly. Our Canadian organization is complete from coast to coast, and we enter the year 1930 with a most modern factory, a loyal | staff of workers, a sales force trainer in today's merchandising methods, and notwithstanding Firestone's rapid growth in Canada during the past six years, we look for even greater developments in the future," rn cl cere Outside the Family Du ban Natal Mercury: A compar- ison of the speeches made in the Can- adian Budget debate early in the pres- lent year, and those coming from the Union Government benches at Cape town during the discussions on the German.

It took him back a long way to the time when such strings hung with flitches. of bacon from smoke- blackened rafters. As he walked on farther and farther from the store he regretted that he had not tried to buy the string of onions. "Yet this is foolish," he sald to him- self as neared lower Broadway. "That is a wholesale store and I couldn't use a dozen strings. Besides, I have nowhere to hang such a string, for my walls are of plaster and will hard- ly hold a nail. Better to go on buying a few loose onlons in little paper bags, Yet there Is something fm- memorial about a string of onions, like a bed of mint or a cat sunning itself by a kitchen door." Some days later, on Fdurteenth Street, he saw outside an Italian re- tall rtore many such strings looped over a barrel. He went in, made his purchase and walked contentedly away with it. Back at the apartment, he made a survey, then drove a nail into thé side of the battered bookcase and hung up the string of onlons, It hangs there, a symbol of something rude, earthy and hearty, something that has almost gone out ot the world, and when the eye of the apartment dweller catches it he forgets the din of riveting and the surly grumbling of rock boring ma- chines across the way. ere reer Minard's Lin'ment for Coughs.

The Strange Case of Vintrix Pol barton, by Ian Marshall (T. Nelson and Sons $2.00) Vintrix Polbarton, a healthy young woman, who should have lived for years, died suddenly; yet though there was no trace of poisoning, all the medical evidence agreed that this was the cause of her death, Not only the murder but the inquest held an element of mystery, and puzzled police as well as public, Why was she killed, what polson was the deadly instrument, and how was it administered? Who was the mur- derer? Such fs the setting of this soundly constructed story, the solu tion that is excitingly unfolded is sat- istying and complete, with a definite thread of romance throughout the book that ends up very charmingly, The Waiting Room, by G. Grange (J. M, Dent, Toronto, $1.60). A dra. matic ghost story which aims at inter preting imaginatively the war of 1914- 1918, The waiting room is a state of being after death, i Which a few typical combatants discuss the war while ft is still on. The burlal of German dead in a French Village ce- metary causes trouble among the ghosts, a medieval bishop arises from Amiens Cathedral to save it from des. truction, a cockney ghost sets out to understand the war that has been fatal to him, and the spiritual issues are sujously involved with a ghostly love affair and a war amongst the ghosts themselves. The story taken seriously gives some shrewd and in- teresting views on the war and that generation, taken in a lighter mood it will be found stimulating and amus- ing with its ironic humor, er r-- WEAK SPOTS We must have a weak spot or two in a character hefore we can love ft much, People who do not laugh or cry, or take more of anything that is good for them, or use anything but dictionary words, are admirable sub- jects fof biographers.
