During the World War, the French government hastily quit Paris when it seemed that the German advance on the Marne placed the cabinet in danger. The ministers installed them- selves, temporarily, in Bordeaux, to return to the French capital when the menace passed. This would be the same procedure of the British government if London were subjected to continual aerial, attack, which could happen only if the mighty air force now being built proved-incapabie of beating off) the air enemy over the English channel or the southern or eastern counties, a temporary move might be arranged to Manchester or Liverpool. If an enemy army followed up the possible success of an overwhelmingly powerful air attack, the nation s bul- lion, the very sinews of war, would be shipped from London, mostly prob- ably to Canada. Only if the enemy succeeded in ad- vancing well into England, it is said in Whitehall circles, would a flight by the government to the Canadian capital need to be envisaged. Ottawa in any event would be only a shadow capital of the empire, be- cause the government naturally would return eventually to England, once the peace treaty was concluded.

Was Once Famous Athlete Yom Longboat, Former Indian Mara- thon Runner, Now Street Cleaner Thos. G. Longboat, Lab. The Toronto directory, a reporter noted, so lists Thomas Longboat, 30 years ago one of the most famous athletes in the world. At 51, he is a general laborer with the Toronto street clean- ing department. In 1906 Tom Long- oat left the Six Nation Reserve near Brantford and sprang into promi- nence as marathon runner. Among his achievements was winning the Boston marathon in 1907. He repre-' flooding. England, like the rest of the world, was a land of household indus tries; women in cottages spinning yarn and weaving cloth, men making hats or shoes ni tiny shops.- What) use would a steam engine be to them? Watt's invention came into existence just before the industrial revolution; just at the time when factories were displacing the cottage industries. Steam and coal became the basis of England s industrial supremacy and worldwide trade, -The New Republic. Fall Grazing The general practice among farm- ers of pasturing hay meadows in autumn is to use the second growth for livestock without giving any con- sideration whatever to the effect this grazing may have on the crop of hay produced the following year. The facts show, according to experimen- tal stations, that different crops re- This is far surpassed by a carrion crow which graced a chateau at Blois on the Loire for nearly a century. Parrots as a class are probably outlived by the birds of prey, thus) shaking the theory that vegetarians tend to live longer than flesh-eaters. Many Griffin vultures have been recorded to have reached the half- century or more. One kept at Vienna in 1706 died in 1824. * Cage birds, so often subject for sentimental commiseration, are often long-lived. Major Flower s list gives green- finches of 19 years old, several spar- rows of over 20 years, and a red- crested cardinal of 30. As the author says, the house can- ary must be considered on a different footing, firstly because they are SO easily replaced that the identification of a particular individual in many cases after a lapse of time is a mat- ter of doubt. Inquiries, however, show that 15 years is a good average age for a canary, though a cock bird owned by Sir Gordon Nairne lived for 22 years, singing lustily to the last. The large flightless birds ostriches, cassowaries, penguins, etc., live to a considerable age.

This emphasis on air power is par- ticularly welcome in Canada. We have already organized, under the leadership of some of our best bust- ness men, to produce bombers in this country for the defence of the em- pire. We may also get schools in aviation one of these days; all on the basis that the British supply the money, the instructors, the know how and we supply the air. The Canadian government will exercise its constitutional right to share in the control of these schools and in tak- ing the bows and there is no doubt that many a spirited young Canadian will volunteer for training.

Remaking A Name a Great Polish Actress Did Not Object To Changing Hers When Mme. Helena Modjeska first arrived in the United States her name was not the beautiful one which people soon learned to love, but was Modrzejewska ; in fact, that name ever remained her professional one in the theatres of her native Poland and in Europe, where she attained some of her greatest triumphs and honors long before she dreamed of conquer- ing a new world. It was John McCullough, the noted American tragedian, with whom she first acted in San Francisco, who de- cided upon her new name. When confronted with Modrzejewska, he said to her: Who on earth could read that, madame? I fear you will be compell d to change your name. She suggested Moggeska, which McCullough smilingly said would re- mind the public of Madagascar. The was then alternated to j. Now, the tragedian said, it Is quite easy to read, and it is beautiful to the ear, And thus the name Modjeska was made, and lived to twinkle over half the world.

Japanese in British Columbia no longer can be considered a menace or eyen a serious problem, two inyesti- gators declare in The Japanese Can- adians, an exhaustive study of Japa- 3 nese in Canada just published by the University of Toronto press. The investigators reach the concit- sion that even if 150 immigrants con- tinue to arrive annually as they do under the present agreement with Japan, they will not add materially to the population growth of the Japa- nese in British Columbia, especially as compared with the probable growth Aris of all other groups in the province. by The writers are Charles H.
