RECIPROCITY AMONG TOURISTS The holiday exodus on the great. American national day, July 4th, in terms of motoring tourists entering Canada this year, created a record, and moreover exceeded the returns in 1929, hitherto a peak year. 'This is most gratifying news to those Canadians who think of Canada's prosperity in terms of mounting tourist figures. Three days previous to this great American holiday trek to Canada, the Dominion herself cel- ebrated a national day. It would be interesting to know the figures ot Canadian motorists crossing the in- ternational horder on July 1st, but the comparison would have to be worked out on a percentage basis of total population.--Ottawa Citizen.

Among the gleanings from its files of a quarter-century ago in the Ren- frew Mercury is an item telling of the fining of an Ottawa motorist oharged with travelling through the town at a rate of twenty miles an hour. In his own defence the mo- torist asserted that his cwstomary speed was fifteen miles in the coun- try and ten miles on town and city streets. One wonders if the speeds of fifty or fifty-five miles mentioned in cases of excessive speeding in our courts today will seem 80 amus- ingly low to the readers of twenty- five years ago columns in the news. papers of 1960.--Kingston ~~ Whig- Standard. : SPEED COMES_LAST. A group of automobile manufac- turers has asked a million motorists to list the qualities they most desire in a motor car, The replies are rather surprising. First and foremost {hese million motorists emphatically say they want dependability. In overwhelming majority the motorist likes to: feel that his old car will keep on running, month in and ménth out, with a mini- mum of balking, breakdown and re- | pairs. The second requirement is econo- my, which is closely allied" to de- pendability. Third comes safety, which also is very largely a matter of mechanical dependability insofar as it is a quality of the machine itself. Next in order motor'st; voted for comfort, appearance, ease Of con- trol, low first cost, smoothness, pick-up, and last of all, speed. Winnipeg Tribune, EDUCATE THE ADULT.

A dizposition in Great Britain and some of the Dominions to discount the achievement of Ottawa -in fost. ering Empiie trade should be correc- ted by more recent trade trends, Pro- bably the mistake has been to look for results too quickly. It takes time to alter the direction of commerce. Last year the Britlsh returns showed an unmistakable and sub:tantial in- crease in the proportion of Empire trade. More than 75 per cent. of £22,100,000 of growths in British ex- ports was accounted for by sales within the Empire, Moreover, the Emplre's share of "total British ex- ports was raised 'from 44.4 per cent. to 46.9 per cent. Lancashire's re- cent plaint that the Empire was a liability rather tha». an asset, taking more than it - gives, cannot find much support in these figures. -- Weekly Times, Auckland.

These he is expected to announce upon his return. Ten Senate vacancies were filled by Mr. Bennett, and included in the list was Mrs. Iva Campoell Fallis or Peterborough, Ontario, wife of a far- mer. Her appointment makes the second woman to sit in the Red Chamber, Mrs. Fallis has worked un- tiringly for the Bennett Government, and the honor bestowed upon her is regarded to be well merited, Four men were appointed to the judiciary, three to the Unemployment and So- cial Insurance Commission and one wag named commissioner of patents. Few, if' any, of the appointments came a3 a surprise. Col. the Hon. G. S.

The scheme also aims to gtabilize the price of milk entering into the manufacture of cheese at '| a somewhat higher level than can be realized from the proceeds of the sale of cheese. A fund has been provided by Parliament out of which it is in. tended that payments on the basis ot the quantity of cheese manufactured will be made, Farmers who desire such payments must apply to the Dairy and Cold Storage Commission- er, Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Payments received by factories from the dalry products equalization fund must be apportioned among milk suppliers in the same manner as proceeds from the sale of cheese.

Distant Star - Hottest Place} Cambridge, Mass.--An unnamed, far off star, whose surface tempera- ture is 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest heat ever measured any- where, was described to the con- ference on spectroscopy recently at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology. ; The sun's surface ig barely 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest temperatures, previously reported, all on stars, were 35,000 -to 40,000 degrees Fahrenheit. : A blue ribbon--the distant star's ultra-violet light--rée¥ealed the "ns ferno. This star is a peculiar object. It is a sun surrounded by a nebula, which in the telescope looks like a. halo--a star surrounded 'by some- thing like the ring around the moon. It was this ring or nebula which made it possible to read the tempera- ture with new instruments and new. methods. These' were described by Dr. I. 8. Bowen, of the California Institute of Technology. The temper- ature reading, he said, was made by Zanstra, a Dutch astronomer. The new method calculates the heat in a fashion analogous to study- ing a. fire hidden under a tent, but hot enough so that some of its light might be dimly seen through . thin gpots in the enveloping fabric. The star tent is the nebula around it. This nebula is believed to be a cloud of gas. ' "Only the invisible rays from this gas cloud are used to calculate tem- peratures. They are ultra-violet and the new instrument which make this clear detection possible is an alum- inum coated mirror, a device per- fected at Cornell University. : Aluminum catches ultra-violet rays better than anything previously us- od, Soma of the ultra-violet rays caught in the alumintim mirror are exceptionally strong, These rays are quite accurately calculated by the aid of the star tent. It is the cal- culation of their energy which re- German Models Smiling Again They Don't Have To Do Year's Compulsory Farm Labor Berlin--Mannequins in the Third Reich are' smiling again--they can stick to displays of fur coats and beautiful gowns and avoid blistering hands and feet out on a farm doing one-year compulsory labor _service. The fate of the beauties 'and cuties who parade winter fashions in sum- mer and vice versa, and sell frocks with smiles and streamlined figures, looked pretty black for a time when the Nazis commanded that every girl between 18 and 25 should get a taste of hard work by being "assigned" to a farm to learn and work. But this calamity, as the manne- quins looked at it, has been happily avoided for their part because the powers that be have recognized that beauty and a streamlined curve are. after all, a rare comrsodity, and one that cannot be provided from the rank and file of womanhood of .Ger- many. Fashion shops left no stone may have the best "haus-frau" quali- ties in the. world, but that brawny arms and milk-maid hips do not a mannequin make. So, without putting it down on paper beyond recogniz- ing the mannequin: profession as, amongst those where an is specially qualified, the authorities have left Dame Fashion keep its mannequins. As a matter of fact, the manne- quins in Germany always have 'held a sort of privileged 'position, for girls with the bowihg acquaintance . with beauty are not too numerous. Con- sequently, a mannequin in Germany can snap her fingers at the boss, and it she doesn't like the atmosphere or conditions in her shop she knows that other jobs are waiting. ] Like all other "laborers" in Ger- many, the 'mannequin is organized and the same protective labor laws apply to her as to the office sec- 'retary. For ykars the same girls will be seen doing their stuff in the same fashion shops, and buyers having gowns and furs displayed by "Fraulein Schmidt, who worked here when I was here some years ago." A customer coming from foreign shores, where he is perhaps accus- tomed to giving the mannequins the "once-over" and subsequently picking one for a date that evening, is cer- tain to find himself sadly disappoint- ed, however. He gets a cold stare in return for the glad eye, and thumbs down on his date. If the untutored customer should insist in getting: in the mannequin's way, it is not un- common in German fashion shops to request him to take his trade else- where. For mannequins in the land of pretzels and beer, to say the least, are independent. Perspiring Writer Corrects Poem on Canada's Snows (From the Toronto Star) In that well-known English pub- lication The Bystander there is a poem with the title "John Buchan" which repeats an old old libel upon Canada, a similar slander to that voiced centuries ago by a dis- veals the enormous heat of the star's surface. > . tinguished Frenchman who describ- {ever he does drink--only to find him- '| "And" that is why John Buchan eats unturned to convince authorities that : a husky and heavy-footed maiden | individual | making the rounds usually insist on | | This time it-is a poet who throws | the snowballs; not the first poet to do so, either, for Rudyard Kipling pinned the nickname "Our Lady of the Snows" on the Dominion. In a sense the Dominion is all that the nickname implies--in Winter, But when a poet suggests that Winter conditions prevail the year round, Canadians make strong dissenting noises, 5 . That, unfortunately, is what B. W, seems to intimate in his Bystander verses. Explaining, with respect to Lord Tweedsmuir, that "politics have meant to him much more than just a passing whim," the bard goes on to say: "And that is why John Buchan goes To Canada's eternal snows, For now our author holds a great And honored office in the State," The trouble with the 'word "eternal" is that it is apt to be misunderstood. The poet may have meant. that Canada's climate will always be a snowy one--in Winter, All right. So it is, and Canadians should not be afraid to say so. We are altogether too apt to have an inferiority complex with regard to our glorious and stimulating Winter temporatures. But to. many readers the poet's "eternal will convey 'the idea that it is always snowy here. If he really thinks so, it would be fine to have him in Toronto now, to watch his collar wilt and face break out into beads of perspiration. It would be delightful to see him go and drink a lot of--a lot of what- self hotter and more perspiring than before. Then he could listen to the weather man explaining over the radio. that it really isn't the heat, but just the' humidity. And some health sharp would tell him that the way to keep cool is to avoid work and worry and food. All the time he would be getting hotter and hotter and repenting more and more thor- oughly that he had ever fashioned a line about "Canada's eternal snows." He would; no doubt, feel impelled to rewrite his poem. 'Mid Canada's infernal heats, Where Winter's Winter sure enough, But Summer a quite diff'rent stuff." ... Different indeed! B, W. would want to kick himself, but wouldn't have enough energy left to do it.

RUN KING OF SWAT George (Babe) Herman Ruth, that phenomenal home-run hitter was the' most majestic figure in modernday major league baseball, Ruth was born in Baltimore In| 1894, and started out on his careef by joining the Baltimore Club in 1913: at $100 a month, being sold the same year to the Boston Red Sox for $2,900, "The Babe was a pitcher at the be- ginning of his career, But his hitting prowess came quickly to the fore. The popular slugger, who for 1931 and 1932 had a contract for $160,000 is never too busy to autograph a score card for the dirty-faced kids, all of whom are Ruth's pals. ; In 1927 he slammed 60 drives out of the parks in the American League, an all-time mark, Three times dur. ing his career he hit 83 home runs in one game, 2 being in World Series contests fn 1926 and 1928. The Babe led the American league in home-runs for 12 seasons. Four times he hit over 60 homers. He hit 40 homers 11 times. He has received more bases on balls and struck out more times than any player listed in-the records. Bowls Of Water Help Keep Atmosphere Fresh The recent heat wave caught most of us unawares, with the result that rooms seemed unbearably stuffy, And yet it is quite easy to make the house feel and look cooler. _ Strip the rooms of everything that looks hot. Heavy door curtains and table covers may be packed away. Upholstered suites in 'heavy dark 'materials should all wear summer jackets of oatmeal linen, . cretonne, shadow cloth, or crash. Always arrange that you have a direct current of air through the house, An electric fan works won- ders, Keep rooms reasonably dark. 'FEW FLOWERS Go easy on flowers, especially the "heady" variety; they sap the air and make the room seem stuffy and 'over-perfumed. Keep to the fresh, lightly scented flowers, such as a few pansy faces fioating in a wide green bowl. . : Bowls of water placed in advanta- gegous positions will help to cool the atmosphere. Have one or two on the window sill: those wery modern square tanks of green glass are ideal and with a few gaily colored glass fish and bubbles they are de- corative as well, gy Mixed Grill Good . Company Dish Serve With - Sauteed Mush- rooms and Broiled Tomato Slices. A juicy loin. lamb chop, a little brown pork sausage, grilled mush- rooms, tomato slices and lamb kid- ney--how does that combination strike you when you're hungry? It makes a splendid main course for a company meal. CUT CHOPS THICK Of course the most important part of the mixed grill is the lamb chop. Have the chops cut quite thick, not less than an inch. Trim out the fat, fit kidney in this space and wrap the flank around kidney. Run a. small skewer or toothpick through to keep chop in shape. Be sure to trim off all but a narrow rim of fat around the edge of the chops. .Pre-heat the broiler for at least ten minutes. Rub wires with the fat trimmed from. chops. Season chops with salt and pepper and place in broiler. Sear one side, then turn and. sear the other. Then cook until done on one side, Turn and cook on other. . The meat, is ready to turn when the side away from the heat has a puffy appearance and tiny puffs of steam escape from it. Be careful in turning not to pierce the fleshy part of the chop with the fork as juices will escape. It will take about' twenty minutes, more or less, depending on how you like them done, for the chops to cook. ; Grill the bacon in the oven with the door open while the chops. are broiling. Put it on a rack in a drip- ping pan. ] COOK SAUSAGES IN WATER Put the sausages in a heavy iron frying pan and add boiling water barely to cover. Prick each sausage several times with a fork. Cover and cook over a hot fire until the water cooks away. Reduce heat and brown first on one side, then on the other. Use the caps of mushrooms - and saute them carefully in butter. Wash tomatoes and cut in slices one-half inch thick. Dip in melted butter and broil first- on one side and then on the other.
