THR GAZETTS. OLDS, ALBERTA, . WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD For tab first time seven judges took their Seat$"on the bench of the Su- preme Court of Canada. The Su- preme Court was enlarged ‘last ses- sion to its present complenient. Congratulations upon the recent opening of the Commonwealth parlia- ment at Canberra have been trans- mitted: by President Coolidge in’ a message to the governor-general. of Australia. Liquor seized by the from rum runners outside the 12- mile limit can be introduced as evl- dence in the trials-of the rum run- ners, the U.S. Supreme Court decid- ed. Motormen: and conductors of | the Winnipeg Electric: Railway have ‘se tled the question of wages by accept- ing the company’s offer of one cent an hour increase each year with a three- year contract. By the present tentative plans the Prince of Wales and Premier Baldwin will sail from England July. 23, arriv- ing in Quebee July 29, The Prince and the Premier will spend August. 2, 3 and 4 in Ottawa as guests of Their Excellencies, the and Lady Willingdon and of the-Gov~ ernment of Canada. n One of the finest collections of In- dian material in Canada consisting of bone; horn, stone and slate objects which was recently purchased by Me- Gill University has just arrived at the David Ross McCord National Museum. This ‘collection was .dug from. the ground many years ago in the district surrounding Brantford, Ont. George Hoadiey, minister ture, applies to -Alberia | cro] pects. . He'says that in 36 y perience in the province he has, nev- er known the land in general to be in such good condition, and the re- ports that are coming in give every reason to. expect a.big season. Sir Frederick Stupart, director of- the Dominion meteorological bureau in commenting on the predictions of Herbert Browne, of Washington, D.C., to the effect that 1927 will be a sunimerless year, sald he does “not regard such a prospect as probable, | and that even if the year should prove.to be summerless it would. be impossible to foretell the fact this far in advance. * Observing Diamond Jubilee © Large Attendance Expected at Ser- - vice in Westminster Abbey Preparations. are now well vanced for the great Westminster Abbey; July 1, which will form the - chief ‘commemoration in London of Canada’s Diamond Jubilee. The Dean of Westminster, Very Rev. Dr. Foxley Norris, has drawn up an order of service which follows «as nearly as possible that | which was used when the jubilee of Confedera- tion was commemorated in the Abbey in 1517. - : Owing to the King and’ Queen hav- ing a ‘number of engagements to fill in Scotland so. close to the date, it is feared it will be impossible, for Their“ Majestics to attend .the ser- vice. The Duke’ of: Connaught. al- ready has intimated lids intention to be present. Practically the whole of the British cabinet and a large nmum- ber of representatives of embassies and legations have asked that seats be reserved for them. ad- Not to Be Trusted Breat Britain has tried in many ways.to honor the fiction that. Mos- cow’s diplomatic intentions are hon- est and that its word can be depend- ed upon, She has always found to her cost that confidence of this overgen- erous natire was sadly. misplaced. The. SovietS. are incurable. They do not let the right hand know what the feft hand is doing. They make prom- ises to one’s-face and break them be- hind his back.

Imagination is the king of his life, the priest-of his faith. What he wants—this he dreams abcut. What he-has in dreams, this he as- tpires toward in his daily life. Dreams {influence reality and reality. gives out {the material from which dreams are | built. |: “Ef it is. hard,” points. out Mrs, | Winterburn, “for even the most ‘logi- | cal and truthful person to accurately | distinguish between the ideas obtain- Led out of practical living and those jintangible fancies coming in dreams, ‘how much more impossible is it for ‘a.child, who is most of his time, | waking and ‘sleeping, under the sure of what is true and what is false? Before we bring any child to account for these little tales or fancy he seriously relates to us as facis, we should inyestigate the sources of his belief.” Mrs. Winterburn stresses the fact that among children drcams are often tyrants. “The miseries of a ehild who is forced to repeat in dreams,” she writes. “in an exaggérated shape, the disagreeable experiences of a. hard \day, are things seldom taken account of -by the grown people who have al- most forgotten their’ childhood. The old-time practice among our Puritan | ancestors of having a child rehearse ‘his bad deeds before going to sleep, ‘and often getting the punishnient for them at the bedtime hour, was a de- | plorable misuse ‘of authority. We 'should on the contrary, guard our | child from trouble at night.” | “In almost everybody there is a i tendency toward some special type of | dream,” observes the article | “Psychology,”. “originating in a sup- pressed desire of sume sort. It is not | only our privilege. but our. duty to | study our child and find out precise- \ly the stuff he is.made of through in- vestigation of his dream jife. Dream life is ‘more than half the existence |of children, end the wise parent may’ exercise deep and permanent. influ- | ence over their brains -by suggestions | toward right.” Will Always Bring Results Success Assured. if Anything Worth z ‘While is Advertised Some .time ago the people . of Colorado Springs got the idea -that theré were great atiractions in that place for tourists: Following up this bright idea they made spasmodic efforts for several seasons to attract visitors, but without much success. So they decided to appropriate $14,- ‘000 for. advertising. This. helped, and the next year they increased -the ‘sum to $60,060." They advertised chiefly in newspapers, all over the country. ; Over 88,000 autos yisited Colorado | Springs last year, carrying some 350,- (000. people. More than 90,000 more people came by train. These visitors spent about $13.000,000°in-. fhe Col- orado Springs neighborhood. Not a ; bad reiurn for a $60,000 investment} | Where there is no publicity the en: terprise perishes. If there is some- | thing really worth while advertising ‘of the right sort will make a great success of it.

In a thousand years there have been only 12 total eclipses of the sun in England. They occurred in 878, 885, 1023, 1138, 1140, 1185, 1330, 1424, 1483, 1598, 1652, 1715 and 1724. Be- tween these dates legends of dreadful occurrences connected with the eclipses had plenty of time to grow up. : Astronomers of today are worried by the difficulties in the way of ac- curate prediction .of the central line and the time of the eclipse. Four thousand years ago it would. have worried them even more. Two Chin- ese astrondmers Ho and Hi, who fail- ed to give notice of the eclipse of Oc- | | Offence by being drunk at the time, | Jost their heads, Since their time it has always been accounted unlucky | by astronomers to be drunk during an eclipse. : In: the Solomon Islands eclipses of the sun! are credited to the machina- {tions of ‘sorcerers, while in some parts of New Guinea they are regard- ed as portents of 4 good season or -sucess in battle. - : i An eclipse in the Philippine islands last year caused a-great excitement among the mountain tribes, who buckled on their armour .and. sound- ed hundreds of gongs in the belief 'that crocodiles were rising from the ocean and eating the sui. Shipping Salmon Eggs The Largest Consignment Ever. Made in’ Canada : The largest single consignment, of }salmon egés ever shipped in Canada | was that made by officers of the Fish ‘Culture Service of the Department of Marine and Fisheries to. the upper waters of the Fraser River in British Columbia. Fifteen . million sockeye ,eggs. in the “eyed” stage, were trans- \ferred in specially constructed crates from the Dominion Government’s fish hatchery at Pemberton on the Fraser River below Hell’s Gate. Canyon to the following spawning grounds in the upper Fraser: Stuart Lake, Francois Lake and: the Quesnel Lakes.

Barnyard .Fow!l “Turken” is. the name of a. -new | xariety of poultry which made its ‘first public appearance at the Edmon- | ton poultry show. It is’ not the. re- |sult of a cross between the hen. and | turkey, as many. have - mistakenly | supposed from the name (an impossi- | ble cross), but “asa matter of fact |the Turken is a cross ‘between a domestic hen and a bird of the pheas- ant species bred in Russia, and whose | flesh is ‘supposed to have the turkey jflavor. This Russian’ bird has a bare red neck like a-turkey, and the pro- geny of’ the cross has the same char- acteristic; and this may account for the ‘suggestion that. a turkey and a hen have been successfully mated. By | careful breeding, on scientific Hnes, the strain has now been fixed and, the |. birds breed true to the new type. The male Turken has a comb. and crows like a cock, but talks like a turkéy and walks like a pheasant. This will probably be news, even. to most poultrymen, but it’ is also a matter of intcrest to the general public, and one to which our Minis- ter of Agriculiure might well direct the attention of all poultrymen. If the claims made for turkens, that “while the flesh is:similar to that of a turkey, it has more flavor and is more tender, also the legs and breast are much larger than those of an or- dinary chicken, that up to iwenty weeks old they are the quickest grow- ing chicks of any known breed of ta- ble fowl, and that the pullets. usually begin to lay in five-months;” can be substantiated, the sooner poultrymen “catch on” the better. — : If, in addition, as,is claimed, the chicks are extremely hardy, ‘easily raised, anature early, and are good layers, don’t require any different care or food or more of it than barn- yard fowls, and are much more pro- fitable, alk the farmers and~ their wives will be glad. to know where and how they can get a start in this new line of poultry. Official Live Stock Annual Study of the past is especially val- uable as a key to the future. “"There- in lies the particular interest, as well \ag in the record, of stich a publication |as the seventh annual live stock mar- \ket and meat trade Review, covering }the year 1926, issued by the “Live ' Stock Branch of the Dominion Depart- ‘ment of Agriculture. It is indeed a ‘vast mine of statistical information |relating to the dealings in live stock ‘of the entire country. Quantities and | prices of all classes are given month ’by month and for the last five years ! year by year. The story of both our | domestic and export trade is told and reviewed in the fullest ‘detail.

Sent to British Museum Discovered over a century ago at Harkstow Hall, near. Barton-on- Humber, the-Roman pavement, which is regarded as the finest, as it is also the largest, example of its kind, is to be given to’ the British Museum. Agreement. has been reached re- cently between Mr. Hele’ of Carlisle, the owner of the hall, and the museum officials, and has yet to be approved by the trustees. “It will.be a very elaborate. pro- cess,” said the authorily, “and is much too costly to be undertaken by any. of the local bodies. Expert workmen will’ go _to Barton-on- Humber to do the removal, which will have to-be performed with extreme care.” ‘ “Once the pavement has orrived at the museum it will require several years to reconstruct entirely, al- though certain portions .will doubt- less be completed at earlier inter- vals.” : The. pavement, which measures 45 was unearthed by laborers. making a kitchen garden in 1796 at a depth of three feet. For more than: 20 years, with a view to its preservation, it has lain under a covering of a foot of soil. Its age is computed to be. over 1,500 years, and it is supposed to have been the floor of either a gen- eral’s tent or of the pavilion of a high Roman military officer. ' Consisting of thousands of small pieces half an incb-square, the pave- ment is colored tesselated work. New Use For Helium May be Substituted for Nitrogen In 2 Air of Diving Bells When. helium was first discovered it was considered a sort of scientific toy, and was obtainable only in ex- tremely. small quantities. Then it was produced in quantity ‘sufficient. to take the place of hydrogen: in_ air- ships.. .Experiments are now in pro- gress to substitute it for nitrogen in the air of diving bells, for the nitro- gen under high pressure enters the tissues of the bodies of the divers, and when it escapes during .the ascent causes severe lacerations. The dis- covery has an economic . value for with thelium it will be possible for divers to descend to the bottom of the Bay of Vigo and secure millions of gold from sunken Spanish gal- leons. . Newspaper Advertising Best Reaches More People and Makes Best Impression Newspaper advertising is, of all the advertising mediums, the adver- tising that reaches most people most of the time, and makes the best: im- pression. On every -hand on this continent there are great enterprises and manufacturers that would not be known today but for their well- |planned and steady advertising cam- paigns in newspapers and periodi- cals. If the article or the product has quality, the newspaper adver tisement, will sell it to a steadily ircreasing number of people. That kind of an. advertisement certainly works wonders. . Auglo-American Relations Friendship That Is Real Cannot be Broken . In the world as yet, after seven years of the League of Nations, there is nowhere to be seen too much love on the part of any nation at. all for any other. But as between America and Britain there is in fact: an ele- ment such as does not enter into the relations of any other two countries. Between many millions on this side, and niany millions on the other, friendship is not, only real but. affec- tionate and unbreakable. They will ‘\ stick to it, and they will leaven the lump. Sacrifice ‘Reindeer Word comes from northern Siberia that the natives of Aretic villages, thinking that the angry gods havo decided there shall be no summer, are killing scores of preciqus reindeer as It is unusually cold there, the warmest lately being 35 degrees below zero. Flin Flon Mine The $750,000 concentration piant at the Flin Flon mine in Northern Mani- toba has begun operations and 20,- 000,000 tons of cre have already been blocked out, according to the “Winni- peg Board of Trade, which is actively supporting the construction of a rail- way into this area.

The women of Saskatchewan are winning their spurs in the egg. and poultry field. At the first. annual meeting of the Saskatchewan Egg and Poultry Pool, the directors of which, all but one, are wives of farmers, the report of the year’s business showed a turnover of $537,- 117..
