a . ' ery - New Wallpaper Reforms Room It is quite an adventure these days to select wall paper for the home, there are so many clear-col- ored papers, so many dashing flor- al designs, and guch rich fabric ef- fects in the new patterns, that it really takes a little courage to even adopt some of them, A fotd] change can be made in a room by new paper, -even though -exaetly the same furniture, draper- ~fes, and other turnishings are main--- tained. The old neutral walls pro-'. duced by "oat-meal" paper, and by other - nondeseript 'and. colorless types, have apparently gone by the Lh poaras with the old taupe carpet, * replaced by more cheerful covering. * "Think of a room which has plain paper resembling the color of oat- -meal, for instance, and furnished in Swedish modern, suggests M, R. Z, in the Christian Science Monitor, Then paper the walls in mulberry or a dubonnet, or a deep green, and the entire interior of the room Is at once given character and- individ. uality.

THE TRUMP CARD: Some people, ourselves among them, have been wondering, why, in the face of so very little done, so very little to offer, the federal government should choose to call an election this fall.

The process is apparently destined to divide the world into the following regions: 1. British-French; 2, A German Mittel Europe, including Italy as a vassal, with 'small satellite natlons- con- trolled from Vienna or Berlin in foreign relations and commerce, with all pursuing an anti-Semetic policy; 3. The Soviet Union, reach- _ ing across the nomadlands to West- ern China; 4, Japan and coastal China; 5. The United States, with Canada within its zone of defence. ~" "Such an alignment," he - says, "would leave Africa, Latin Amer- fea, Western Asla and .Ind!a open to new imperialism." JAPAN IN CHINA: The Chinese war entered its third year early this month and it has been expres sed that the Japanese Army has made itself largely self sufficient on CLinese soil _ The general feeling was that Ja- pan-had overburdened herself with acquisition of Chinese 'properties such as mines and factories "and that her adventure in China has been an' expensive one, but those feelings have faded somewhat In "observing the last-two-years-of the. steadily progressive penetration. The plans Japan acquired are now being inexpensively run by forced labor and the financial drain has not had the effect first expect. ed by competent observers in China, The war Is generally estim- ated to have cost between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 lives, couating sold- fers and civiltans killed directly In bombings, and civilians who dled as result of tloods and disease indir- ectly caused by war. : THE WEEK'S QUESTION: Is the Dominion's export trade. showing © an Increase or a decrease for this statement of Canada's export trade for the first six months of the new current year shows an increase of 71,000,000, The value of Canada's exports to the end of June this year was $462,000,000. 7 How to Produce Clean Farm Milk Exclude Contamination From All Sides -- Attention Should Be Paid To Stable, Animals, * Utensils ; Fit In the illustrated farmers' bul- -+iggued by the Dominion Department ot Agriculture, the author, Dr. A.

'We Out-cheered British Crowds Man='to man, Canadian crowds can outcheer Rritish crowds when ft comes to- welcoming the King and Queen, . er Of course due allowance must be made for differences between British - and Canadian character and temperament. Judging from the showing, however, when the King and Queen arrived back in England, R. K. Carnegie, Canadian Press staff writer, found that Lon- don crowds have volume which de- velops into a great roar in which no individual voices are disting- uishable. : Same Depth of Affection There was one continu®s roar that day from Waterloo Station to Buckingham Palace, But for wide, open-mouthed cheering, particularly suc™ as is furnished by those lusty-lunged people out on the Prairies, the Can- adians can show the way to any d.ondon crowd of similar size, As for depths of affection and loyalty, that deeper emotiop that lies behind the. cheers, there's no difference between that of England or Canada. ; BEE HIVE Offers A FO!
