Attar exists in rose petlals in the minute proportion of about .03%. The recipe for preparing a pound of attar of roses might thereâ€" fore be stated as follows: "Take two tons (four thousand pounds) of rase petals. Boil thoroughâ€" ly. Condense the steam back to water. Skim off the oil which rises to the surâ€" face, and behold the finished productâ€" about 19 ounces of attar of roses. Fostnote: Save and sell the remaining water.

Attar of roses is what chemists call an essential or volatile oilâ€"it readily becomes an essence, flies away, evaâ€" porates, giving off its fragrance into the atmosphere in the characteristic manner of perfumes. The very thought cf a product‘s beinz worth from three to five hundred dollars a pound, and apt : to disappear by evaporation, is enough to cause a Bulgarian nervous breakdow Hence the tripleâ€"sealed, ult.ra-airtight. copper container, in which attar of roses is stored and shipâ€" pod, is appropriately pictured together with the rose on this interesting postâ€" age stamp. The Rock of Gibraltar To many Americans the great rock, pictured on the latest issue of postage stamps from Gibraltar, is little more than the symbol of strength and staâ€" bility popularized in the advertising of a large insurance company. To the ancient Greeks, this rock, and the twin promontory on the opposite sice of the strait, had a superstitious meaning. They were called the Pillars or Gates of Hercules. Bsyond was brought to be an unknown and terrifyâ€" ing world of darkness. Accordinz to a Roman legend, these gates were once closed, to keep sea monsters from invading the Mediterâ€" ranean, but Hercules came and tore them apart. Our phrase "to go west," meaning to die, probably originated in the early Greek belief that the land of the dead somewhere west of the Pillars of Hercules. And when Columbus sail>d past Gibraltar on his first voyage, the popular legend tells that his ignorant sailors were frightened and mutinous, expecting soon that their ship would sail over the very rim of the world. But to British citizens of today, and to that Hercules among nations, the British Empire, the Rock of Gibraltar is a possession of immense strategic value. This lofty promontory comâ€" mands the 14â€"mile wide strait which forms entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. Its great batteries of deadly canâ€" non stand as a perpetual safeguard for the British sea route to India and the Far Eastâ€"a route so important that Britons call it their "life line of emâ€" pire." For 1200 years memorable battles have been waged, many ships have been sunk, and lives lost, to win or hold these few miles of stone. In 1462 the Spaniards took Gibraltar from the Moors. In 1704, with customary imâ€" perial foresight, as if they foresaw how important ths rock would becoms to their safety in later years, the English seized the great rock. From 1779 to 1783 French and Spanish ships laid siege for four years to a garrison of 6,000 men. Reduced at times to eating grass and roots, the starving soldiers withstood the siege, and saved Gibâ€" 1t L W® T @krtiow rug® n Althouth Gibraltar is only 2 square miles in area, and most of it is occupied by the fortified rock, there is also a dcep and secure harbor, and on the level land nearby a town of 20,000 inâ€" habitants, which serves as a coaling station for British ships. In form of governmont, this small but mighty British possession is a Crown Colony, ruled by a governor who is also comâ€" manderâ€"inâ€"chief of the military garriâ€" The new serics of postege stamps gives the finest s ..ss of, views of Gibraltar ye by stamp collectors. On the 2d denomination the rock is pictu.ed from the North Side, where a uw sandy isthmus comnccts Gibraltar with the mainland of Spain. For more than 200 years British sentries have paced the road along this isthmus which is everywhere undermined with high explosives and could be instantly blown to ‘bits in case of an attack by land. miltar for Britain. Since then the great rock, which is 2% miles long, % mile wide, and !4 mile high, has bsen tunneled, fortified, elaborated and provisioned, luntil it is now â€" considered impregnable â€" the strongest fortress the world has ever known! "countries free and equal in every reâ€" spect but united by common allegiancse to the Crown." And united, also it might be said, by the open sea lanes which permit unobstructed trade and intercommunication, and are kept open, in Mediterancan waters at least, by the formidable fortress of Gibraltar. The 3d stamp presents an imposing view of the great rock from the south side. The inscription reads *"Point Europa,." the name given to the southâ€" ernmost tip of the peninsula. On the 14 value we seoe the usual view of Gibraltar, apparently made from the harbour. which has been previously usâ€" ed on its poastage stamps. The lowest denomination of the series the %d, portrays a finely engraved head of Kinz George VI. This reminds us again of the extraordinary political crganization of the British Empire and the intangible bond which holds it toâ€" gether. For the great dominions beâ€" vond the seas define themselves as Sketch of Hitler by Winston Churchill (By Percy Ghent) In 1935, Winston Chiurchill concludâ€" ed an article about Herr Hitler thus: "Meanwhile, he makes speeches to the nations which are sometimes characterâ€" izsd by candor and modernation.

That was three years before the Nuremberg spsech, marked by a cerâ€" tain candor, but completely shorn of both moderation and reassurance. Whe were those "so tragically wrong about Germany in the past?" Churchill has them listed with some precision, Ramsay MacDonaldâ€"and his colleagues "uttering highâ€"sounding platitudes upâ€" on the blessings of peace" were among n th Hitler Has Charms So was that Brifish Government at so late a date as 1932, exerting presâ€" sure upon France to reduce her armed strongth. So were the kindâ€"hearted eecnomists of America and Britain who loaned Germany billions of dollars to revive her life and industry and were rewarcded with German irritation at Allied ‘"interference" in her affairs. And while Britain disarmed, the United Sta‘tes losked placidly on, and France alons protested; every human and maâ€" terial resource of Germany was conâ€" centrated on preparation for war unâ€" der the leadership of Adolf Hitler.

Despite the antagonism of enemies within and without his borders, he has led the onceâ€"prcone Empire back to a place of might and arrogiénce which outâ€"Kaisers the Kaiser. That was one of the two things he promised to do at the outset of his career. Removal of the curse of unemployment from the Fatherland was the other. And it was the manuâ€" facture of armaments on a gigantic scale that accomplished both resolves at once. A third great purpose, the purge and persecution of the Jews, was thr throw of a boomerrang that will inevitably return and smite him. A Nut, Perhaps, But No Fool Admittedly, though, the hope was a feeble one. That artistic temperament of the Fuhrer‘s, likened by someone to a midsummer night, had all the proneâ€" ness of a midsummer night to the suddeon fury of an electrical storm. He has risen to power on the stormy passâ€" ions of hatred, vengeance, and the lust for military might; risen with brutal relentlessness. . Would he hesitate to maintain his eminence by the same stern means, Churchill asked three years ago. And the defiance at Nuremâ€" berg answers. Using the cold lizsht of medical science to peer beneath the glamour and the glory that shines about the story of Napoleon, many psychilatrists have found a pronounced case of G.P.IL. And that is a convenient abbreviation for a grievous form of mental pathâ€" ology. Herr Hitler seems to manifest many of the same symptoms, no matâ€" ter how unthinkable it may appear in that the fate of civilization rests in the hands of a madman. Be that as it may, Hitler‘s life and work must be mnckoned among the outstanding phenâ€" omena of history. Jews May Strike Back It is eighteen years since the Ausâ€" trian corporalâ€"a former hcuseâ€"painter At the same time, as Churchill points out, the foundation upon which Hitler has built so daringly, was well and truly laid by the almostâ€"forgotten Bruning and others.

Under the pretence of guiding indusâ€" try, a formidable General Staff, forbidâ€" den by treaty, was organized for war. Equipped to the last detail for the proâ€" duction of munitions at a minute‘s warning, German factories bided their time and turned out toys and trinkets. And all this, says Winston, bitterly, was just as well known to the intelligence staffs of Britain and France as it was to Hitler. But ‘"intelligence" in other quarters seems to have slumbered. With the triumph of Hitler one bold stroke followed another. All hypocrisy and subterfuge was cast aside. Indeed, it required but a signal from the Nazi chieftain, and every factory in .Gerâ€" many was working at fever heat to proâ€" duce armaments on the most amazâ€" ing scale in history.

The story of journalism‘s growtn in the mining centres of Northern Ontario and Queobec is truly an epic and parâ€" allels the sensational development of the mining industry itself.

They have given voice to the claims of the north country in a highly effective manner and they continue to urge greaterâ€" consideration for the mining districts which have made such a notâ€" able contribution to the country‘s welâ€" fare during the depresseion period.

On one occasion when Lyiton was running for a seat in the House his wife took, as we say in America, the stump against him.
