AUSTRALIANS URGED TO "USE MORE WOOL ; Sidney, Australia, May 23-"My dear, I'm not wearing a stitch of wool are you?" "No!" came the laughing rejoiner; "only on my scolp!", This dialogue was typical of the semi-guilty feeling with which most women en- tered the auditorium at a meeting held to discuss ways and means of helping the "Use More Wool" cam- paign. There were four, however, who sat secure in the feeling that they were more than doing their bites they were the four Salvation Army, women who came clad in neck-to- ankle serge uniforms and thick black woollen stockings, Another member of the audignce--~Mrs. F, J. Davy, manzser of the Australian women's hockey team--felt a pardonable thrill of pride when the various speakers were making a patriotic appeal, She had been busy equipping her 16 girls who leave for England soon, with honey-colored tun s, bottle-green blazers, pull overs i» match, and a supply of stockings, all made in Aus- tralia, As well, she is encouraging them to inclyde in their trunks as many Australian made garments as possible, The Hudson Bay Mining Com- pany has contracted for 200 to 238 tons of concentrates a day from the Sherritt-Gordon mine, PSR RRR, PERMANENT CONCRETE s i ny 7 IGHWA The Safest Roads of all to Drive on.

When the first Acadian Re- corder was picked off the type bed of Anthany Holland's hand press on the morning of Januesy 16, one hun. red and seventeen years ago, among its "Gleanings from the late English Papers" was an account of the court martial and sentence of death pass- ed on a seaman for stabbing a sup- erior ; when the final Recorder drop- ped from power cylinders on the aft. ernoon of May 10# this year, the ar- rest of two men charged with murd- er in Picton county was among its news items, The first Recorder's featured local story recounted the facts that "on Wednesday night a quantity of gunpowder and combus- tibles with a lighted match were pro- videntiglly discovered in a cellar be longing to Messrs. Scaife & Bain; the last issue told of the despatching of troops to fight forest fires in Queen's county, where rus ors of in- cendiarism were being inveutigated by a R CM, P. Commissioner. That early issue reported the death of a public man-"latg commissary of Prince Edward Island, and formerly a very useful member of the Legls- lature of this provinge;" the last copy of the pioneer journal reported a res« olution passed at the Diocesan Synod, expressing regret at the passing of "a faithful member, by which Hal. fax lost one of its outstanding and most highly respected citizens,' Different Backgrounds But if matters of import resulting from the vagaries of human nature and the suddenness of Acts of God bore much the same complexion and news value at th beginning and end of a century, the difference between the backgrounds against whinch they were cacted at opposite ends of the hundred. year span were notably em. phasized. The first Recorder advertised pas- sages to St. John's, Newfoundland, aboard the schooner "Brothers Ad- venture", "freight to be reccived on board about the niddle of next week :" the invention of a shell that would "explode twenty balls of com bustibile matter at the immense dis- tance of three miles" was chronicled with wonder; the paper itself was delivered to provincial subscribers by horse-drawn stage or pony express. The recorder of May 10 published advertisements of fast liners making regular calls at St. John's and trans. Atlantic ports; "readers for current motion pictures and a notice of ex- propriatio nof land for the Halifax Airport stood in adjoining columns; and the journal's final issue went to out-of-town readers over a met- work of railways, between the ships, the Reeorder's in. formation being tirat the Constitution exceeded the Gueriere by third in tonnage, thirty twenty-four pounder guns, and was manned by double the number of men carried by the Briton, Early on a Sunday morning in June of that year Halifax and Anth. ony Holland "had the satisfaction of seeing the tables furned, as young Provo Wallis sailed into the colon- ial capital aboard His Majesty's frie gate Shannon, with the United States ship Chesapeake as a prize of war, Although the first Recorder teport- ed scathingly the looting of a mer. chant ship Dy an' American Letter of Marque, and dealt vigorously with a nation that had "enlisted under the banner of the second Attilla, and de- clired 'war against kindred and friends," there is evidence in its first issue o fthe seaborne traffic that was carried on between the New Eng: land states and Nova Scotia despite the war, for the arrival of the Cartel Brig "Sir Jolm Sherbrooke," Floyd, Captain, from oBston, via Portsmouth New Hampshire, is reported in Hali- fax with Boston papers, which how- ever, "contained nothing of import. ance." Liquor Not News One other change is evident in any comparison of the times, There was no news in drinking in 1813, No Temperance Societies. were in exis. tence in Halifax then, Reminiscen. ces of the period show that a bottle of rum was the permanent appurtens ance of practically gvery table, Rum was advertised in the first Recorder at seven shillings (175) a gallon, Cognac sold for twelve and six, No special sess'yns were called to handle the week-end line-up, for drunken- ness in itself was not a misdemean- our, The last Recorder noted the fact that a citizen of Halifax, arrested for having liquor in his possession, was remanded over the week-end, being too drunk to stand trial, Five Years and Lash For Dope Peddler Hamilton, May 23. Five years In Kingston penitentiary, with 20 lash- os, was the spntence meted out by Judge Carpenter yesterday in crim- inal court to Mike Zuzl of 255 Bar- ton Street west, convicted of selling morphine, Recently the eriminal code was amended to provide for the lash in such cases and as far asin known Zuzi's is the first conviction « In which it has applied, BLUE AGAIN LEADS AUTO COLORINGS Brilliance of Chromium Plate Shown Best by * Dark Finish Possibly because dark colors provide a much more effective fol! for the brilliance of chromium plate, dark colors are enjoying n vogue they have not known In yoars ag car finishes, Blue Is a- gain dominant with black a close second, relatively, and brown, af- ter gaining a brief leadership, is now in third position, Green 1s next in sequence followed by mar- oth and grey in the order indicat- ed, Blue has been very definnery reinstated as the most important automobile color family. Repos from the automotive industry n- dicate sustained consumer demand for this color group, with particul- ar emphasis on the darker, richer shades, DPlues with a minimum trace of 'secondary reddish or greenish hues are popular in met- ropolitan areas. Andalusite has once again out- distanced all other blue tones in importance and appears to be a fixture dn the blue group for an extended period, Classic blue, a leader during the past two mon- thes, has been relegated to second place fn the blue color family, Blues that are Indicative of the current trend are: Washington blue, a conservative, deep shade of reddish hue; - Normandy blue, extra deep, a bright, clear tone of a reddish hue; Town Car blue, deep, an extremely cold medium tone of high luminosity: Portland, a dark, rich shade; dnd State Blue, a deep, dignified hue, The steady demand for black indicated for the period from July 1 to Jan, 1, inclusive, represents a consistently progressive aceept- ance for the conservative subdued tone of thig finish. The import- ance of the brown color family continues to wane in spite of the fact that Thorne brown is consist- ently fourth in importance from the standpoint of volume used In the automobile Industry, The Shell Oll Company is plap- wing an £4000,000 ofl refinery at Vancouver. rom uh SEMEN BRITISH TRANSPORT REVOLUTIONIZED AT $37,600,000 COST Loundon.~A revolution in the methods of transport in Britain has. been silently taking place dur- ing the past few months, The rail road: groups have completed vase schémes for road transport snd to secure an interest In the network of road services throughout the country, Nearly $37,600,000 has been ox- vended and out of 36,000 large passenger-carrying vehicles, near- ly 14,000 are directly co-ordinated with the railroads, which now have a part interest in carrying 661,000,000 road passengers every year, This co-ordination means that every village in Britain will be connected with railroad services and that railroad stations, instead of being entirely devoted to rafl trafic, will be centres of general transport, This is the rallways' scheme to meet road competition, which has been severe in the last few years, rt ---------- FEMINISTS HAIL COURT DECISION -- Paris ~French femininists were gleeful recently as a result of a court decision, Princess Jacques de Broglie was musical and wanted to give plano concerts, Her husband re fused to permit her to appear in public.
