Parnell Tyler, president of Lever Brothers Limited and a number of associated companies, has reported a record-breaking year ending the 31st December, 1080, surpassing in volume all pre~ vious years by . rood margin and showing a very satisfactory profit, It is interesting at this time of world wide business depression to hear of tho success of this Com- pany whose products, entering In« to every Canadian home, have been purchased by the public at the low est prices in the past fifteon years. This should serve as a tonic to those of us who are inclined to think that business is bad every- where in Canada, ignoring or be- ing uninformed as to the excellent progress of many of our largest enterprises. ' \ by WHY THE BULBS DIDN'T CROW Manchester, Feb, 24 - [fie Mane chester Guardian recently offered two prizes for the best explanations, of not more than 100 words of why the bulbs failed to grow. The response showed that they had been eaten by dogs, torn by cats, planted upside down, put in stoves, drowned in wa- ter, split by frost and consumed as onions. The first prize went to the explanation given by a mother of a small boy, presumably it was a hu- man tragedy: "Well, it was like his granny took a country cottage and gave me six- pence to buy six bulbs to make a gar< den and 1 was ashamed to ask the man which end went down so I laid them out in a row and the boy next door came in a very nice boy ard he said, don't you know, and I said no and he said go in, I'll plant them an you look for them on first Aprif' and 1 did and they never came up in my, garden but they did in his," OAKLAND OPENS SECOND LINE Detroit, Feb, 24.-~Increased pro- duction 'schedules have required the Oakland Motor Car Co, to place a tecond assembly line in operation] last week, according to George T.

Dr. MacMurchy asked. "Under the leadership of the League of Nations and by the power of public opinion that is the only way. We must re- member that wherever there is slay ery, the chief sufferers are little chil- ' terrible to describe. We should re- fuse to buy slave-grown produce, fol- lowing the recent lead ot three Brit- ish cocoa firms and certain Swiss co- coa firms who refused to purchase for. their factories cocoa beans grown in certain African territories where slave labor is used. "No power but the League of Na- tions can reach across the world to prevent slavery. We should work for the establishment of a permanent bureau on slavery by the league to make inquiry into the observation of the anti-slavery convention, now signed by 28 of the 55 nations which are members of the league, and to establish a convention outlawing slay- ety and making it punishable as pir- acy." br.
