I told the King about Von Einem and that out of mercy I had said it was the custom here when the King left the smoking-room to kick off one's pumps. The King laughed." The foregoing incident closely re- sembles one told of King Edward himself, connection with the visit to England in 1892 of the Shah of Persia. The Shah was wholly unused to European ways, and there was more than one embarrassing moment during his visit in consequence. At a dinner given in his: honor, over which the Prince of Wales presided, finger bowls were placed before the guests. To everybody's amazement the Shah promptly seized his and drank off the contents. The Prince as prompt- ly signalled to the remainder of the guests and with His Royal Highness they gravely drank off the contents of their own finger bowls. SAYS IMAGINATION BRINGS OUT FINER QUALITIES OF LIFE Charles W, Bell, M.P., Well known Playwright De- clares It Adds Color Montreal, Que, March 11.=<The value of imagination in adding color to life and bringing into play the finer qualities of men and women was emphasized by Charles W. Bell, M.P,, for West Hamilton, and author * of several plays, in a speech at the charter day luncheon of the Mon- treal West Women's Club. Mr. Bell, the title of whose address was an- nounced to be "Our Lost Imagina- tions," maintained that in the matter of-fact, money getting age, people have lost the imaginative attitude of mind that was once a component part of life, As an indication of this materialistic tend, the lecturer point- cd to the modern newspaper, rve- marking that musical, literary or dra- matic events were not accorded place on the first page, as they were in Horace Greeley's time, Mr. Bell glanced at different per- iods in the world's history in their relation to the imaginative aspects of life. The parables found in the four Gospels were an appeal to the im- | agination, and the early Christians sought to continue the same method of teaching by presenting their les- sons in dramatic and pictorial form, In the "spacious days of Eliza- beth," when English ships brought back tangible evidence of countries beyond the seas, and thrilling stories were tokl of adventure under Drake and Hawkins and Frobisher, men re- sponded with their imagination, and the times were ripe for the gen- iuses that were to appear. In the Victorian era, imagination began to give place to regard for eS erence Counts/ WHEN most of the farmers of today were learning to plough, sow and reap, The Canadian Bank of Commerce had already established a reputation for giving farmers' business special attention.

Mr, Béll regretted that, however imagination. might be touched in school life and college, there was little opportunity for this faculty to have place in business or professional life today, Out of the atmosphere in which a people lived, things came naturally and irresistibly, A dearth of novelists, or artists, or play- wrights could not be charged to the absence of talent so much as to the want of an atmosphere in which talent emerges and develops. The lecturer held that one of the biggest legacies this generation can leave be- hind is to have awakened in the children an imaginative interest in higher things "and maybe they will not then have to worry so much about things that are not so good." "It lies with ourselves and more especially with women, what is to be the future of young people. We can- not leave everything to the teacher or to the journalist; we cannot un- load our responsibilities on the preacher, We can still cultivate in the young who are coming up an in- terest that has been all too much neglected in recent years" the speak- er said, BITTER DEBATE ON RAILWAY LEASE INNEW HAMPSHIRE Bill To Allow .

So bitter was the debate at times that the utmost confusion reigned.

REVOLUTION IN SOVIET RUSSIA LATEST RUMOR Recent Resignation of News. paper Editor From Com- munist Society Cause of Unrest Berlin, March 11.--Adyices received by the Socialist newspaper "Vor- weart" from Moscow Socialists state that there are increasing rumors of a pending revolution in Soviet Rus- sia. / These advices stated that the re- cent resignation of M, Bucharin from his editorship of the Communist newspaper Pravda and from the presidency of the Communist Inter- national was because he had been caught in the act of preparing a coup d'etat against the Staling group. He was stated to have written a letter to Leo Kamaneff in which he tried to draw the latter into the anti- Stalin camp. Vorwearts says that when Buch- arin 'was si ed before the Com- munist cefitral confrol commission he broke down and wept hysterically, TRADE IN CANADA "IS SWEDEN'S Af Commercial Attache To Do- | : minion Sees Great Possi. bilities for Negotiations Stockholm, Sweden, March 11.-- Sweden's interest in Canada is stead- ily on the increase and has recently been manifested in scveral ways. "Sweden's business with Canada ought to be intensified," B. A. Ren- borg, the Swedish Commercial At- tache to Canada, told a press repre= sentative of the Gothenburg paper Ny Tid, "because that country is swiftly developing all her natural re- sources as well as her industry. Agri= culture out there is steadily improv ing and yields annually crops worth several hundreds of millions of dollars. Then come the vast forests and. the immense supply of minerals, of which it is difficult to form an adequate opinion, as most of them are only white spots on the map." "When big enterprises start, money is needed," Mr, Renborg continued, "and capital is also forthcoming, mostly from the U.S.A, and Great Britain, which shows the firm confi- dence in the future of Canada. The import of Canadian goods to Sweden is very important, but suffers from old habits, inasmuch as the Canadian firms have maintained the traditional intermediaries in Great Britain and Denmark when dealing with Sweden; | only the wheat pool, which has ren- dered such great service to the Can- adian farmers, has its own agent in Sweden." \ When asked about the Swedish ex- port to Canada Mr. Renborg added that Swedish products, such as ball- bearings, clectrical implements, pulp- making machinery, Diesel motors, tools and agricultural implements, and such like, have their sure market | in Canada, which appreciates the high quality of Swedish' manufacture, but he thought that this export might be increased, especially with regard to mining, where the Swedes have ex- perience for centuries -- Sweden's ancient copper mine of Falun, for in- stance, is run by the same company since 1288, "But if Swedish export industries want to compete with others in the Canadian market, they must be prenared to support our' Swedish representation over there," Mr. Renborg concluded, after having emphasized tlie kinship between the . Canadian and Swedish nations, both used to a hard climate, | : Many Swedes returning from long- |= er or shorter trips to Canada are full of praise for the industrious work | and spirit of enterprise which char- acterize Canada of today. Senator Ivar Wennerstrom, who recently toured the Dominion, has published an interesting book on his experi- ences among the Canadians and has successfully defeated an opponent in a Stockholm daily who accused him of having painted Canada in too IF rosy colours. Mrs, Ruth Gustafsson, a denuty of the Stockholm City Cor- poration, has given a series of lec- | tures in Stockholm as well as in the provinces about the wonderful land north of the American frontier and certainly stimulated the desire in the Swedes to visit Canada, where so many of them have already gone, in- spired by the Viking snirit which is the heritage of the Swedish race and without which Sweden of to-day, with only 6 millions of inhabitants, would not have reached its promin- ent international position of the present day. An interesting conference has now been called together by Mr. Lubeck, the Swedish minister of social affairs, where the important question of find- ing an outlet abroad for Swedish emigrants will be discussed.
