Parade By Elizabeth Eedy CUTTING OUR OWN THROATâ€" A startliiiK statement was made last «cek in Toronto by the China correspouUent of the Manchester Guardian, H. J. Timperley: "The British Kniplru is slowly cutting ita own throat, and Canada seems to have a good Arm grip on the knife." Mr. Timperley who has been 15 years in the Orient explains that one of Japan's main objectives at the present Is to undermine the British and U.S. positions in China. â- 'Carefuliy worked out flgurcs show that during 1937 Japan got 81 per cent, of her essential war supplies from the United States, the British Empire and the Dutch East Indies. Canada's share has been notably important. The Dominion has con- tributed nickel, aluminum, lead, tine, scrap iron and wood pulp (used In making high explosives). Thus tho Ililtish Empire has been Indirectly helping to undermine Its own position." SLOW DRIVERSâ€" It isn't a free country any more. You have to drive fast on Ontario's highways whether you like it or not. At a meeting of the Ontario Motor League and the Ontario Safely League last week, slow drivers were scored as the greate.st menace on our public roads, worse than drunks, worse than speed maniacs. And there are going to be more convictions for this type of driving henceforth, the Premier of our Province announces. Here we should like to intci-pose • suggestion. Why not have all our trunk hi^rliway.s built on the conveyor style (like the moving sidewalks at the Paris Exposition In 1908)? Every car would then have to move at the same speed; you could watch the scenery with- out giving any attention to the driving, much; and think of the â- aving on tires, gasoline, oiH WAR IN 1941â€" Detailed maps and charts circulated throughout the world by Nazi propagandists reveal that Germany and Italy already have planned how they will divide up Europe. The first group of map.s shows Germany in the spring of 1933 after the absorption of Aus- tria; the autumn of 193S, showing the "taking over" of Czechoslova- kia, and Hungary, intended to be No. 1 victim of Nazi expansion for 1939. Second set of maps shows Poland coming in during the latter part of ne.\t year, and during 1940, Yugoslavia, Uuinania and Bulgaria. The year of the big war seeming- ly will bo 1931. In that year, ac- cording to the tliird group o( maps, Germany is to make a real drive to both east and west, absorbing Denmark, Holland, Uelgiuni, Swit- zerland and Northern Eranco. At the same time the Nazi armies will thrust down through Poland and Rumania, taking all of European Kussia south of Moscow to the Cas- pian Sea, including the gieiit south Russian oillields. A final large map shows Europe of 1948 under the dominance of the llome-Berlln axis. Italy is to get Spain, southeastern France, Pales- tine, Albania, Greece and the entire north African coast. AniV Hitler and Mussolini mean their Joint dream to come true. THE WEEK'S QUESTION Did October niakc> a record for warm weather in Ontario this year?

Technique Of Duck Carving Here Are Five Pointers To Sharpen It Up â€" Serve On Large Platter and Be Sure Knife Is Like a Razor Can your husband carve one? That's a very personal question, yet It must be answered. If there is any doubt, leave this article on his dres- ser and let masculine pride lake its course. (1) Tho carving knife must be razor sharp. To make doubly sure, give it a last minute sharpening at table just before carving. (2) Use a large platter for the roast duck. There must be room on It for the pieces as they are cut. Servo the gravy in a separate bowl. (3) Press fork firmly into breast of duck, holding it there with tlic left hand. Place knife between the body and upper thigh joint, and cut down sharply to sever the tendons and make a clean break. If you do serve a piece of leg meat to each person, cut each of the drumsticks In two diagonal slices. (Tlic neck and short wings have been cut off before roasting, because there Is no meat on them.) (4) With the duck still on ii.s hack, cut down through the centre of the breast bone. Cut each lialf of the breast in three portions. And carve diagonally not straight down. Do not remove the breast moat from the bone. Cut right through the breast bone, leaving the bone itself with the serving of meat. However, if you prefer to servo the breast without the bone, carve It in thick slices. Ontario Holstein Shatters Records Troy Cow Produces 25,600 Pounds Milk In Year â€" World's Champion llegasborne Alice Alcartra. Ihiee- year-old Holstein-Eriesian heifer on the farm of Richard Sager, Ti'oy. Ontario, had a biim-ful pail of rich milk last week to complete a 356- (lay record of performances test on twi('e-a-day milking. Alice shattered six Canadian and United States records. With total production of about 25,000 pounds of milk in one year and hutterfat lest of 3.6 per cent., the champion eclipsed the liigli mark for her own breed, held by a cow In the herd of Elliott Urolhers, Woodstock. The farm is 15 miles west of llamilton. VOICE OF THE PRESS POSER FOR A PREACHER Wonder how a missionary ex- plains to a heathen what a gas mask is'.'â€" Brandon Sun.

After that it is not usually profitable to keep her. So the harder she works, the sooner she gets it in tho neck. â€" Family Herald and Weekly Star. â€" oâ€" LIGHT-HEADED ARE WORSE Based on tests among 1,238 motorists, half of them with light eyes and half dark, two American investigators have found that the light-eyed motorists have poorer vision at night and are more sen- sitive to glare than drivers with dark eyes. Our view is that light- headed drivers are a greater source of danger than light-eyed. â€" St. Thomas Times-Journal. -^0 â€" CANADA'S MARKETS The 10 leading markets for Can- adian commodities in September were: United States, $G0, 525,000; United Kingdom, $28,912,000; Cernuiny, $2,(il(i,000; Australia, .$2,'1(;5,000; Netherlands, $1,278,- 000; Belgium, $1,227,000; New Zealand, $l,li)3,000; British South Africa, $1,082,000; Japan, $ilG4,- 000; and France, $841,000.â€" Rre- gina Leader-Post.

Paris Introduces Longer Waistline New Silhouette Is Seen In Mid- season Collections PAULS, â€" Evening gowns with full skirts mounted at hipline on long princess corsages are differ- ently interpreted by Molyneux, Alix and others and they hint definite- ly at longer waistlines for evening while day-time clothes In many col- lections seem slightly longer walst- ed. Even Schlaparelll, so long an ad- vocate of high waists, shows a very smart dinner dress with fold of fabric around the hip tops, while blouses to couple with suits finish ' over the skirt giving longer effect, a style she introduced last season in dinner clothes. Chanel In her midseason collec- tion develops further the sUhou- by contrast to the nipped-ln waist she sponsored in August so that by contrast to the nippelin waist measure hips spring into rounded outline just below It. The waist- line is placed low, giving a. long, slim diaphragm both for day and evening. NAMES ON MAIL BOXES On different occasions in this column in past years we have urged farmers on rural routes to have their names plainly painted on their mail boxes. A farmer subscriber in this office recently urged us to advocate again that this be done. They say that ad- vertising pays and this is one way the farmer can advertise. Our friend pointed out that in the Brodhagen district every farmer has his name plainly printed on the box. He also stated that if roofing pitch is used instead of paint it will last much longer and is easy to use. Why not have the Listowel district follow the good example of the Brodhagen fann- ers? â€" Listowel Banner. ALTON TRADE-IN DEPT. 1222 Bloor St. W.. Toronto Must li.'ivo .'^pacc.

HEARTBURN KEPT HIM AWAKE Afraid to Eat Square Meal What a worry he must have been to his wife ! Ko food agreed with him. Acid indigestion made him positively wretched. In this letter, his^ wife tells how he got welcome relief: â€" "My husband developed a wretched form of gastric acidity," she writes. "Meals were a misery to him. He often could not sleep for heartburn. Business kept him from home a great deal, but when he did get a spell at home, I gave him Kruschen Salts. I was amazed at the results. That weary look left his face, and his indigestion grad- ually disappeared. It is a treat to hear him say, 'I'm hungry.' It seems too good to be true." â€" (Mr.«.) \K.M.E. The numerous salts in Kruschen help to promote a natural flow of the digestive and other vital juices of the body. Soon after you start on Kruschen, you will find that you are able to enjoy your food without distressing after-effects. And as you persevere with the "little daily dose," you will see that Kruschen brings glorious re- lief. Commercial salt production in Canada during the first seven months of 1938 totalled 139,376 tons compared with 13-1,002 tons in the corresponding period of 1937.
