SCULTOR'S CAR ESTABISHES UNIQUE RECORD ~ Ninety-two thousand miles at an average speed of 45 miles an hour over roads mostly unpaved is the| service which a 1927 La Salle has given to Gutzon Borglum, interna- sculptor. Mr. Borglum, who is now at work on the United States memorial in the Black Hills of 'South Dakata, re- ports that his car is still operating most satisfactorily. Most of his mileage was made over gravelled Western roads, with heavy grades, and wet, frozen and lumpy. He de- clares his average speed is 45 miles an hour in this district. CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM ARE MOSTLY AUTO MEN Hockey hasn't very much to do with news of the automobile world, but in connection with the recent Dominion amateur finals played off between Winnipeg and Hamilton Tigers for the Allan Cup and the right to represent Canada at next year's Olympic Games, it is inter- esting to recall that most of the men, employed at the Jolley Motor Car Company; Chevrolet dealer at Hamilton. The Tiger team was ori. ginally the Jolley Motor Car team, organized in 1926 for recreation of Jolley employees. They were first entered in the Spalding intermedi- ate league and in the following two years hung up something of a world's record for successive vic- tories. They won 36 games without suffering a single defeat. In 1024 they won the intermediate title and defeated the runners-up of the sen- for series in.an exhibition tilt. The following year they were entered in the senior city league of Hamilton, and not only won that title but cap- tured, as well, the inter-city cham- pionship, which brought them in competition with senior teams from Toronto and Brantford. Again in 1928 they were city champions. The following years Jolley Motor Car Company gave the team over to the City of Hamilton where they play- ed as senior O.H.A. representatives, Lart year'the Tigers went through Malvern Calls To Drama-Lovers s Malvern's beacon blazed forth the news of the Armada over the entire West Country, so from the little English town, nestling among the Worcester- shire hills hard against the elsh border, Word foes forth $o- ay of the keeping alive of the spark of the English drama, faith- fully from Year to year, means of the town's Annual Fes Sa tival® Under the direction of Sir Barry Jackson, this event has become a nat onal institution, even as its com banion festival at George Bernard Shaw RL Nae Shakespeare's immortal Stratford- upon-Avon. This year's program includes known and unknown english productions 'dating from 1618 to 1981 and is dedicated to George Bernard Shaw, to whom Sir Barry is looking to produce a new play, as the mcipal item of the bill, as he did "The Apple Cart", at the original Malvern Festival. The festival runs from August 8 to 22, inclusive, consist- ing of three repeated weeks of plays and a series of lectures by well-known authorities. Malvern is only 128 miles from London, but Gloucester and Worcester, both cities of considerable size and offer- ing first-class hotels, are within easy reach. The townitself is also making special arrangements for the comfort of visitors during fes- tival time.

Could the present ddn- renerato generation beat that? "A million bottles of mineral wate were drunk. There were 28,000 sausage rolls and 73,208 Victoria biscuits eaten. Can anyone tell me what a Victoria biscuit is now? 1 have never seen one." Some of the old people had with them relies of the Great Exhibition, Miss Bertha Haines, of Hampstead, had a liftle silver box which was bought there, and a parasol which her mother took to the exhibition. It was made of white silk, and had mink roses made of white silk, and pink roses on a deep fringe. Many people had memories of things they saw, Mrs, Trench of Guildford, and Commander F. Hay Chapman, of London, think mest often of an "'alarm-clock bed" which tipped up and threw the occupant out at the appointed hour. POST OFFICE REJECTS WOMAN ENGINEER (C Press Di h) London, April 8,--A member of the Women's Engineering Society recently sent in an application to sit for an examination for positions in Post Office engineering. She had the necessary qualifications. She was a "British subject hy birth, be- tween the ages of 17 and 23, of re- spectable parents, and not at the time in financial stress." Her ap- plication was accepted, but about six weeks later she received a npte pointing out that the examination was open only to male candidates-- a fact not mentioned in the regula- tiong--and "regretting that her failure to satisfy was not observed sooner." A ACTOR ATTACKED (Canadi Press Dy h) London, April 8.-- As Ernie Lot- inga was leaving the Garriek Thea- | tre one night recently he was vio- lently attacked by a woman with au umbrella, "I was going down the alley-way to my car, when a tall woman rushed at me, punched me in the eve and smashed my bowler hat in which her umbrella, shouting 'I'll teach you to make fun of mo- thers-in-law," Apparently she ob- jected to my stage part in which 1 try to trip up a mother-in-law with a banana skin," Of course this! THE BEST DRUM OF ALL Regardless of how good the rest We always want the very best. --Yellow Wing the Flicker. All the scolding that Chatterer the Red Squirrel could do had no effect on Yellow Wing the Flicker. Early every morning he sent his long roll- ng rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat ringing through the Green Forest as he drummed on a dead limb of the tree in which Chatterer lived. He didn't pay any attention to Chattercr, Be- tween the long rolls of his drumming he would call, a loud, clear note, sev- eral times repeated. It could not be called a song, yet with the rat-a-tat- tat-tat-tat of his drumming, gave ex- pression to the song in his heart, the joy of spring. One morning after his drumming was over he flew up to the Old Or- chard, hoping he might find Mrs. Yellow Wing there, for she had not returned from the Sunny South with him and: he was impatient for her arrival." 'She wasn't there and he flew to a tree growing close by the back porch of Farmer Brown's house. lie looked down on the roof of that porch and suddenly it struck him that that roof didn't look like the root of the house. To begin with it was red, "That is queer looking wood," hought Yellow Wing "Yes, sir, hat is queer looking wood, Funny I never have noticed it before. wonder if it is like other wood." He flew down on the roof and found that his claws didn't hold on it, and that was queer, However, that roof was nearly flat, so it didn't mat- ter, He struck it with his bill and the sound made him jump. Yes, sir, the sound made him jump. He struck again, harder than before, and his eyes sparkled. The best drum he ever had had in the Green Forest didn't compare with this, Ile beat a long roll -- rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. What a drum! It was wonderful. At least it was wonderful to Yellow Wing. He tried it again, "Never was there such a drum!" cried + Yellow Wing, and tried to dance for joy. fave you guessed wiat Yellow Wing had discovered? It was a new tin roof that had been painted red, Yellow Wing hadn't happened that way since it had been laid, No small boy with a new little red drum ever was more delighted than was Yellow Wing. He tried drumming in differ- ent places. The result was always 'the same, There had been joy in his heart before, but now * couldn't contain himself, So it came about that very early the next morning when there was just light enough for him to see to get there, Yellow Wing was on that tin roof, At once be began beating his long roll, rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat, rat- a-tat-tat-tat-tat. Such a noise! In the stillness of that carly hour it carried for a long distance. "I guess that if she is anywhere about Mrs, Yellow Wing will hear that," said Yellow Wing, talking to himself, "I wonder what she'll «ov. She'll wonder where I am and whit kind of a drum I have; My, my, my, just listen to it!" and then he beat a double roll, rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat- tat-tat-tat, Now, Farmer Brown's Doy's bed- room had a window opening on that porch roof and that window was op- en, for he believes in fresh ajr. With the first rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat he open- ed his cves with a start, "Gracious mel" he exclaimed. "What is going on here? What a racket!" There was a long pause, He clos- ed his eyes sleepily, Tt wasn't quite time to get up, although he is an catly riser. He was just beginning By Thornten W. Bur zess to dose off when again came that rat-i-tat-tat-tat-tat I'liere was no sleening with a noise like that. No, sir, there was no morc sleeping for him that morning. "That is Yellow Wing the Fligker, but where under the sun is he to ale such a noise as that?" mutter- ed Farmer Brown's Bey. He got out of bed and went to the window. Just as he got there Yellow Wing beat another long roll. Cautiously Farm- er Brown's Boy peeped out. There was Yellow Wing with his head to one side listening--a picture of con- tent and self-satisfaction. Then he heat out another long roll. Farmer Brown's Boy chuckled "You are better than the best alarm clock I ever heard," said he, talking under his breath. "No one can sleep with such a racket going on, I ought to scare you away, but you are hav- ing such. a good time I can't do it. I hope you are not going to get me up at this. hour every morning."

LADY DIANA DUFF- COOPER SUCCEEDS IN ELECTION WORK Attractive " English Lady Won Many Votes For Her Husband London. -- A reporter following in the wake of Lady Diana Duff Cooper Is lost in admiration of her electioneering methods, which were 80 successful in the recent by-elec- tion in St. George's, Westminster, won by her husband, Capt. A. Duff Cooper. She arranged, in May- fair, special meetings for the staff of servants in big houses. While in Pimlico! "I'm the wife of Duff Cooper," says Lady Diana when she knocks at the house doors-- possibly a sly dig at those who call the official Tory candidate, 'Lady Diana's hus- band.' She is a great asset to him anyhow. She is pitting her un- doubted feminine charm against the spell-binding oratory of Lord Bea- verbrook and the stupendous sil- ence of Lord Rothermere. 1 saw her canvassing--a trim figure in a brown tweed coat and a tight-fitting hat. Her first call was at a sewing meeting of mothers which Lady Worthington Evans, wife of the late Conservative member conducts She perched herself on the edge of the table and for the first time in her life made a speech. Some pho- tographers came in and the mothers asked if they and their babies could be photographed. "Shall 1 bring mine, too?" re- marked Lady Diano. She ran to the street and brought back her 18-months boy, John Julius, who had been waiting with her mother, the Duchess of Rutland, and her nurse in the car. Before long he was toddling round in hi white fur coat and hat prattlipg to tho other babies. Lady Diana went on to tackle the women in surrounding houses. It was cold work standing out of doors, and os the light was fading Lady Diana espled a fire through the door of some dining rooms. "I don't want to be pestered..." be gan the proprietor, who noticed the bills she was carrying. 'You don't story : "Mrs. Yellow broke in Lady Diana. 'And I'd like a bun, one of the three-corner- ed ones." Munching a bun she talk- ed to the proprietor about the elec- tion in general, and it was not until the large bun was completely eaten and Lady Diana was leaving. that he discovered her identity. An editorial in The News-Chroni. cle, referring to Lady Duff Cooper's activities, says: 'In the dim days before they had the vote women were always potential election-win- ners, whether they were mothers, wives, nieces or sisters of the hero of ther moment. Now they are probably mere valuable than ever as vote-snatchers. They are better informed politically, they are more concerned with serious political is- sues, and they carry themselves in public with greater confidence and poise. If they happen also to be beautiful and clever, so much the worse for the other side." WANTED LARGER HELPING (Canadian Press Despatch) London, April 8.--Sir Thomas Lewis is a noted heart specialist, At a dinner party the most decisive thing said by Sir Thomas was when the ice pudding was served. He said he would like a larger helping. And he proceeded to tell the guests that in the hospitals.of Canada ice cream was an important item of dietary. SETS NEW FASHION (Canadian Press Vespatch) London, April 8.--Lord Broug- ham and Vaux, the 21-year-old Peer, who is marrying Miss Valerie French this month, has set a new fashion in present-giving. He has presented Miss Buntfhg Stephenson with a diamond brooch as a token of gratitnde to her for having in- troduced him to his future wife, WOULD SPEAK ONLY AFRIKAANS, WANT ENGLISH BARRED Movement Against Biling- . ualism Is Growing in A fi * (Canadian Press Despatch) Cape Town, South Africa, April 8.--Discussing a growing move- ment among the Dutch in South Africa against the English langu- age and in favor of Afrikaans The Cape Argus editorially sops in part: versities the existing facilities for the teaching of Afrikaans on mod- ern lines are not what they should be, considering all the fuss that is made about the importance of bilin- gualism. It wocld be well if the enthusiasts would turn their atten- tion to this aspect of the matter in- stead of indulging in tactics which are distasteful to a very larze sec- tion of the Dutch as well as to the English in South Africa. "The average sensible Afrikander realizes the imoprtance to his chil- dren of a knowledge of English, and is painfully alive to the fact that if they are taught English bad. ly in the schools and 'speak nothing but Afrikaans outside 'they will grow up unbilingual, to their own grave disadvantage."

"1t will be a great pity it the cul- tural movement in favor of Afri- kaans, fwhich in itself deserves a | great amount of sympathy, should | simply degenerate into a sordid] fight against the English language. Recent developments are distinctly disquieting, if not without a saving spice of humor. For some time past special correspondents of lead- ing Nationalist newspapers have been paying surprise visits to coun- try places in opder apparently to discover who dares to speak, write or read English. One enterprising gentleman conducted an investiga- tion at the Union Buildings, Pretor- fa, afterwards naming and putting in the pillory certain officials who had been found guilty of the un- forgivable crime of using English in their daily conversation, they being by birth Afrikaans. "Unquestionably 'enthusiasm of the wrong kind is getting the better of good sense in this delicate affair of language rights. As a clinching proof of this there is the ludicrous sequel to the recent complaint of R. B.

It has since turned out that the papers were translated by np less distin- guished an authority than Dr. ,C. Louis Leipoldt, who, besides editing a medical paper, is one of the fore- most Afrikaans authors of the day. After this public servants who claim to be bilingual need not be discouraged if, like.poor Dr. Lei- poldt, they are solemnly assured that their Afrikaans is not really up to the mark. "There is another point worth touching upon. As we have point- ed out on previous occasions, it seems to be no part of this aggres- sive language movement to make the path of the English-speaking South African who desires to be- come bilingual any easier, and this has given rise to the suspicion that bilingualism is valued as a weapon that can be used to defeat claims based on superior efficiency.
