FRENCH ELECTION CONFIDENCE VOTE Poincare and His Financial Restoration Outstanding Issue Paris; May 7.--Probably never in Ve iw 7 the Third Republic have the French people given a more preponderant and unqualified vote of approval to a chief executive than 'they gave to Raymond Poincare. The French elections were nothing-- neither a repudiation of the Commun- iss nor a swing to Centre and Right «as much as they were a tremen- dous vote of confidence in the Pre- mier, who in twenty months has brought France from the edge of bankruptcy to a solid ground of fin- ancial security. It was Poincare and his financial restoration first of all that the French people voted for, Except for the Com- munists and the Socialists, party in- terests were secondary. And on the strength of this astonishingly power- ful referendum France is now as- sured of something like political sta- bility until final financial stability is secured some months hence with a 'return of French currengy to the gold standard, Almost anything, it is true, may happen after stabilization has been achieved, but it is unthinkable that more han 400 deputies who were elected on an out and out Poincare plank will dare to shift their allegi- ance until after this step is taken which the comomn people of France are demanding should be supported, Big Majority By actual count the amazing total of 460 deputies of a total of 612 in the new Chamber went to the polls pledging their support of Poincare's financial program, Of these it is estimated at least 400 will back stabi- lization when it comes, while approx- imately 370 deputies--a much larger number than in the last Chamber-- will support the Poincare Govern ment in the first week of the new Chamber, or possibly for some months to come, This, in brief, is the great victory scored by Poincare which more than recompenses for his bitter defeat at the hands of the Car- tel des Gauches four years ago, The man then despised and thrown out is the indisputable master of France's destiny by such a supreme mandate as is seldom if ever obtained direct from the French people. In itself this is a wonderfully providential thing, both for France and for the One Thin Woman Gained 15 Pounds In5 Weeks Men and women, weak, thin and miserable, are urged to put on weight and get back their health and strength with McCoy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets, One woman gained 15 pounds In five weeks and that's going faut enough for anyone, McCoy takes all the risk--Read their ironclad guarantee, If after taking 4 sixty cent hoxes of Mc- Coy's Cod Liver Extract Tablets or 2 one dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and feel completely satisfied with the mark- ed improvement in health--your druggist is authorized to refund the purchase price, Ask Jury & Lovell Ltd.

Bu it would be a grave error to pose that Pgin- care's a ay yy today means that he will be equally im- pregnable tomorrow, The very fact that the Left Center parties and the Right Republicans are now the two strongest groups -in the place of the who formerly held the. balance of power, means that there; will be in the future new groups grasping for power and new animosities to be dealt with, It is almost universally admitted in France that Poincare will have complete control up until stabili- zation, and after that--? Once France is safe will - the Republican Left, with its 161 votes, and the Marin Republicans and the Demo- crats, with about 130 more, be con- tent with a National Union govern- ment? Or will they manoeuver 12 effect a change to a. new Right Center Government? These are ques- tions which are bound to face Poin- care one day, and it is not unlikely that eventually they will be answered by France again being thrown into political uncertainty with party am- bitions and jealousies predominating. Marin Opponent In the old Chamber, Herriot was a Cabinet member who had been treat- ed most solicitiously by Poincare. Herriot represented 141 Radical So- cialists, and when they forsook the Government it meant the Govern- ment would fall. In the new Cham- ber Louis Marin, leader of the Re- publican Right, will be the potential troublemaker, With his 150 or more compact block of votes, Marin will be in a position to demand much, and he can be of a very demanding na- ture. Some French political experts are then asking themselves whether it isn't possible the elections catapulted Poincare out'of the frying pan and into the fire. Before he had to wor- ry about the Left: now he will have to worry about the Right, and one may not be any easier tol do than the other, These same experts be- lieve Poincare secretly hoped for even greater strength in the Left Center group, Had this block gained considerably more, it would have served as a buffer between the two extremes, As it is, Poincare will still need all his gifts as a moderator if his ministery is to last for many months yet. : Today the premier question in France naturally is: When will Poin- care stabilize? That is very much of a question. Some say he will have to stabilize soon on account of public opinion, But there is consid. able reason to believe that Poincare realizes it 1.ay be much more saga. cious ta continue postponing the fate- ful dap as long as possible, Club Over Heads The longer the return of the gold standard is delayed the firmer will the Premier's hand on the Chamber be. He succeeded for months in postpon- ing stabilization with the old Cham- ber, which gave him a much smaller mapority. hy shouldn't he con- tinue doing this as long as the de- puties' temper will stand it, and so have a club to hold over the Cham- ber's head whenever it shows signs of wanting to kick over the traces, For one thing, the Chamber doesn't convene until June 1, and with a terrific shake-up of its former per- sonnel it will necessitate several weeks' manoeuverings until the status of party alignments are definitely set- tled, This should occupy close to the first of July, and then the nominal date for closure for the summer va- cation will be approaching--July 13. It may therefore very conceivably eventuate that Poincare will send de- puties home for the holiday to delay stabilization possibly until some time in October, just before they return for the fall session. This might be much safer and assure a stable Goy- ernment for a much longer period than if the Premier stabilizes this Tuesday Special 450 yards Striped Fugi Silk of the finest qual ity, 30" wide, regular $1.25 yard.

For three days the Indian is "King of Banff".

Every form of race and sport known to the Indians was held, in Rddis on to many suggested by the white spectators, together the visit of the Indians was a marvellous su frets, and it ultimately led to the establishment in 1907 of an annual Indian Day, which in time grew into the continent-wide advertised Indian Days. The Indians look forward to these days with the grecfest enthusiasm and early on in the year start counting "enly so many dave now till we go to Banff". The Indian villajze of a hundred tepees is, as said before, Jpeg al at the foot of Cascade Mountain for this festival, and is semi-circular in form, each band of the tribe having a section to themselves, Rations are served directly the Indian village is in shape. The Government donates three buffalo annually to the Indians, and the first one of these is then shot by a game guardian and quickly eut up by the redskin butehers, So skilled and speedy are the few Indian butchers employed, that within thirty, minutes after the hot is fired, there is not a vestige left of what was once a lordly animal weighing approximately one ton, "Stoney for then spring. In any case, it is certain that Poncare will be solidly backed in the Chamber until he does, if all the political rules function true to form, stabilize.

FARMER BUILDS HIS OWN PLANE AND MAKES IT G0 John Prazak, of Ohio, is the Proud Creator of Flying "Machine ' Maybe Lindy does nced a new plane with *"cat-eyes" and a lot of fancy doo-dads on the dashboard to keep him company while he takes Sunday afternoon spins to Florida or Japan or Cuba, but John Prazak, of Hennessey, Ohio, is satisfied with "just a plane." ; The only instrument he has is an ignition switch, and he doesn't have to twist his tongue to tell the name of his engine. Because it's a Ford. He built the plane himself, in a shop on his farm near Hennessey. It cost him $800, and he took lessons of him- self in piloting. Prazak bas lived on his farm for more than 30 years, and he has never taken any special mechanical training. Yet he made all of the parts of his machine, which he remodeled, trans- forming it into an cight-cylinder. It consumes little fuel, and can stay in the ar one and a half hours on three gallons of gasoline, which is the ca- pacity of his fuel tank. Even the propeller was hewed by Prazak. On a home made turning lathe he manufactured all of the necessary parts and after two years succeeded in his attempts to fly. His plane weighs but 500 pounds and is only 21 feet lang. It has a wing spread of 28 feet and can de- velop 40 horsepower. Maximum speed is 70 miles an hour. Prazak said he does mot know exactly how fast or how high the plane has travelled as the only instrument he has on the plane is the starting switch. He can land on a vacant lot because the land- ing speed can be reduced to less than 20 miles an hour. Prazak has flown more than 1,000 miles with but one slight mishap when he was forced to land because of a hot bearing. He learned to fly his machine by first raising it ouly several feet off the ground and then allowing it to come to earth again. Gradually he learned how to control the plane bet- ter and he then increased the height of his hops. He often takes his mie and chil- dren or some of the neighbors along on trips across the sky.

There was no such thing as an average child," said F, Mander, B.Sc, President of the National cently at Oxford. Ii in this country we tried to get an "average course" we should have to strike an average standard. There was nothing democratic in sacrificing the aspiratipiis of the ablest child to those whose capabilities were more mediocre, True democracy would do its utmost for every child. We must do nothing that would tend to stand in the way of that intellectual stream which should lead to the highest de- velopment of the best brains in the country, The failure of our present system was that we had attempted to make higher education apply to all chil- dren equally. It was the tendency to- day to treat very child in a high school from the day of his entry as if he were proceeding on to the uni- versity, That was one of the great drawbacks of the system. Only one out of every twenty-five children in a high school went on to the univer- sity; two out of three reached the school leaving examination, and one of three passed it. Other Courses Head teachers or high schools in working for the provision of alterna- tive courses were on the right lines, because a 'large number of children in our high schools could not digest the diet which was offered them, and if* they were unable to take it there was practically nothing else to offer them. Consequently there was a tre- mendous wastage of effort on the part of' the teachers. They must adapt the courses to the children who were to take them, It was not necessary for the uni- versities to have their hands on every type of educational activity in the country. They must face the facts of human nature, and develop the®abili- ties and capabilitics of individual chil- dren, Far too many parents were anxious to do the "correct" thing for their children rather than to do the right thing for them, They sent their children to the high school because cf the place the high school had always held in public estimation. Yet it was obvious that some of the children at present in high schools would recgive more benefit in a different type cof school.
