[VOICE THE WORLD AT LARGE of the =------= CANADA, | THE EMPIRE PRESS CANADA AUTUMN BEAUTIES * "The most beautiful sight in Am- erica," writes Arthur Brisbane from New Jersey, "is the changing colors of autumn foliage on the North At- lantic seaboard." We enter a demur- rer. Those who know the scarlet and orange of Eeastern Ontario maples, the red plumes of the sumacs on many a nearby hillside, the rich cop- per of the beeches in our parks and woodlands, the burnished yellow of countless trees that gild this district into a cloth of gold, will hold that the most beautiful sight in America is the changing of colors of autumn fo- liage in these parts.----Ottawa Citizen, _-"A*NATIONAL SHAME" A movement is afoot to persuade the Government to provide more ade- quate quarters for the National Gal- lery in Ottawa. The Herald is heart- ily in accord with this movement, Although it' does not seem to be widely recognized, the collection of pictures on show in the present Nat- ional Gallery building is excellent and highly representative of the Eu- ropean and North Ameriean schools, ancient and modern. There is, also, 2 striking array 'of - Canadian paint- ings, an array which removes any doubts concerning.the existence of a truly characteristic Canadian school. But there are, also, statuary, pic- tures and other works of art stow- ed away in vaults, becausa there is no rcom for their display. That these should be to deteriorate in darkness is a tional shame.--Hamilton Herald, THE BRITIST RACE What a race thnsa Brit'shers are! Samue!

Actually she was doing a great deal more than teaching things which were set forth in the text books. Possibly the boys in school may have thought at the time the teacher was a "sour old maid," but they know now she was not, Mature judgment has stamped her as a great force and a helpful influence in their lives and as such they will continue to re- member -her.--Peterboro Examiner. THE EMPIRE A LINK WITH THE PAST Among the many distinguished forbears of the Duchess of Glouces- ter is one whose name should be known wherever Scottish songs are sung. Yet, how many of the count: less numbers who are familiar with "Annie Laurie" remember that the writer of the song as we know it now was Lady John Scott, a great-grand- wife. 4 This song-writer, who lived until the first year of this century, was Miss Alicia Spottiswoode of Spottis- woode, in Berwickshire, and her mar- riage to the only surviving brother of the fifth Duke of Buccleugh took place in 1836. She was a patriotic Scotswoman, and once declared, 'I would rather live in a pigsty in Scot- land than a palace in England." She made a wonderful collection of old' Scottish songs for hef brother-in-law, the Duke of Buccleuch, -- Glasgow Herald, SCOTLAND YARD TEACHES Scotland Yard is teaching the world how to go about its police work.

Don't--ever--wear all white. Miss Taylor believes that a de- signer's greatest hope in creating original ideas in modern costume lies in the development of new fabrics. She uses cellophane velvets, cello- phane laces, metallic satins, ribbed satins and rhinestone cloth--all new departures in. screen fabrics. She does not, however, feel that these materials should be adopted indis- criminately by the average woman, "I know what temptation it is to try a-new and rich iaterial," she says, "with designers offering each year a dazzling line-up of unusual woolens and silks, But the woman who is overweight must watch her fabrics as closely -as her diet. Three yards of rhinestone cloth on the wrong figure can wreck a girl's smartness reputation overnight.

"intelligent, resourceful and sustained encouragement," their greatest friends, Dr, William Keith of the Hospital for Sick Children, told the fifth annual convention of the Canadian, 'Association of Occu- pational Therapy here recently. In co-operation with Miss Jean Hamp; son of the Wellesley School - for Crippled. Children, he showed mo- tion pictures describing results achieved at the school by occupa- tional therapy. "One. has only to see the retro- gression that too often takes: place when the 'school is closed in the Summer months to realize the dan- ger of oveér-indulgence by parents," he remarked\ 3 Occupational therapy is playing an invaluable part not only in the remedial field but in adjusting chil- dren to society he sala. = As examples of success achieved by . children in overcoming handi- caps, Miss Hampson showed work of pupils that had taken first prizes in competition with the work of nor- mal children. . One article was a dress, trimmed elaborately 'with binding, made by a little girl, para- lyzed below the waist, who operat- ed a lreadle of her sewing machine by her crutch. Another was a home spun scarfimade by a boy on a loom which was used to straighten out his flexed wrists and to limber his shoulders. > Another. little girl, 10 years old, whose right arm is paralyzea, em- broidered a towel that took first prize in a section of the C.N..E. for 16 years and older. ; "We have a little girl who wears a brace on a leg, but®who can swim a mile and a half," said Miss Hamp- so. "The other day one of our boys went to thé dentist. The dentist asked him how he' broke his tooth off, and the lad said, 'playing foot- | ball.' I can imagine the surprise of the dentist for this boy walks with two braces and a pair of crutches. "The theme of our work is to lead normal lives and our children play the same games as other children, even though the umpire may sit in a wheel chair, and it takes two boys, one holding the basketball and an- other to hit it, to get it over the fing."

Over - Subscribed ! Whites the Peterborough Examiner "A remarkable expression of con- fidence in' their country by Cana-| dians,"- That is what Hon. Charles Dunning, Minister: of Finance, said when he announced the Dominion loan of $75,000,000 had been over- subscribed. He secured money at low interest, 2-16 per cent. on short term and 3.08 for long-term money. Mr. Dunning is not the first Min- ister of Finance to make use of that phrase about the people show- ing confidence in the country by pur- chasing its bonds. It has been said many times before. : Probably it does show confidence, but it also shows a desire for sec- urity., People know they are elimin- ating risk when they buy govern- ment bonds; they are taking a low interest rate but they are safeguard- ing their capital. That desire for safety is probably a greater factor in the situation than any desire on the part of the people to show confi dence in their country. It would be better for the country| if we had arrived at the stage where people would once again take their surplus monéy and put it out to do a day's work. That is actually the sort of confidence we need right now. It is nice of course for A government to get cheap money, but there should not be confusion between what is called confidence in the country and the desire on the parb ofthe people to do nothing more than make a per- fectly safe investment of surplus funds."

Police Answers Questions. (Edmonton Journal) : Of. intelligence tests there 'are many in these modern days, and their vogue extends to nearly all fields of service, A case in point is an examination héld a short time ago in Los Angeles for patrol police- men. The California city is reputed to have a particularly fine police force, with a system of training and, inspection that is more than usually exacting, and the recent tests were presumably a part of this highly ef- ficient system. The papers turned in by the patrolemen, who were seeking to qualify for higher positions, con. tained some howlers as good in their way, as any of 'the schoolboy variety. For instance, the following, which' were vouched -for--by the : secretary of the police commission: Question: What would you do case of a race riot?
