“BIRD-MAN MEETS TIMELY END
VINCENNES, France—Clem Sohn, known as the “American Bird Man,” was killed Sunday when his parachute failed to open. Sohn jumped from a plane at 6,000 feet before a crowd of 30,000 gathered for air races. He completed a series of evolutions in the sky with the aid of “wings” strap- ped to his arms. At 1300 feet he was descending gracefully from the plane above and he attempted to open a | parachute, It failed and he plunged to | the ground. Spectators nearby rushed | the injured man to the hospital a | he died en route.

GRASSHOPPER MATERIAL ARRIVES IN CARBON
In anticipation of the annua] infes- tation of grasshoppers in the district the Municipal District of Carbon has received a supply of bran and saw dust and is is being stored in the municipal building opposite the Chro- nicle office at the present time, As soon as the grasshopper eggs start to hatch the bait mixing station will commence and will be located in this same building.
According to departmental officials Carbon will again be in one of the most heavily infested areas in the province, and these officials urge that farmers keep. a sharp look-out for the young hoppers and poison them as soon as possible, This is the only known remedy to combat the pest and unless every farmer looks after his own fields there will be a recurrence of the hopper plague again next sea- son.

WEDNESDAY HALF HOLIDAYS TO COMMENCE MAY 5
It has been the custom in past years for the merchants of Carbon to close their places of business at one o’clock each Wednesday afternoon during the months of May, June, July
crees that the order must be carried out, Therefore commencing next Wed- nesday, May 5th, the stores in Carbon must close their doors at 1:00 p.m.
Farmers and townspeople usually forget this early hour of closing for the first few weeks and incidentally leave some of their purchases for this time. No doubt there will be many who will again let the matter of early closing slip their memory and so we take this opportunity of warn- ing them to keep the larder well- stocked about mid-week.
All Carbon elevators will observe the half-holiday.
WHEAT SEEDING SHOULD BE COMPLETED SAT’DAY
With ideal weather following the rain last week the land soon dried sufficiently to allow seeding to resume by the end of the week. This week the farmers are practically all busy drilling in the seed and given favor- able weather about 90 per cent of the wheat should be in the ground in the district by Saturday night.
Some farmers have commenced to seed their coarse grains, and others report that they have finished their entire seeding operations.
An attempt is being made by pro- minent Social Crediters to have an additional allowance made for the Carbon district to provide more seed grain to farmers who are short, and we understand that E.P, Foster, M.L. A. is giving the matter considerable attention at the present time.

Dried Young Grass A Con- centrated Feed
Every farmer knows that pastures of early spring possess exceptional nutritive properties, and some are aware that these virtues ure due to the high protein, mineral and vitamin content of the herbage at that tage. Out of this knowledge has grown an appreciation of the principles of pas- ture improvement and grazing man- agement, Pastures, fertilized judi- ciously and grazed fairly closely may be made to retain in a large measure the desirable nutritive quaiities that characterize the herbage of spring.
Success has at last rewarded the efforts of investigators in who have been occupied for years with the problem of drying grass economically by artificial means and

TO THE LOCAL CITIZENS
Last Saturday the Scouts were un- animously in favour of sponsoring a Community Fund to provide for the purchase of 21 Coronation rockets for the Coronation Day Celebrations. They started the fund with a donation of $1.00.
Since they asked me to do the joy- ful work of collecting for the fund, I trotted around and was agreeably surprised at the welcome and whole hearted support I received at each visit. The result to the moment of writing is a total of $15.50.
Being pressed for time, I was un- able to call on many others that I intended to, and 1 would not like to feel that I have hurt anyone’s feel- ings by not having called. Seeding keeps one busy, yet if I can manage it, I will try to find time to repair the omission.

Some years ago, a Canadian, engag- ed in conducting fertilizer demonstra- tions on sugar beets in Michigan, cal- led on a farmer, in the Saginaw dist- rict and offered him two bags of fer- tilizer to try out, The offer was re- fused flatly; the farmer had used commercial fertilizer faith in them. Wishing to be rid of the two bags in the back of the car the Canadian was granted permission grudgingly to leave them in the shed until he should call for them later. | That was in the spring. In the fall he called again and inquired of the farm- er’s son concerning the fertilizer, “Oh said the youth, “one day when dad was away I put it on about an acre of beet land, and I want you to see the crop.” In the field they found Dad contemplating the fertilized area, He was a changed man since spring, admitting frankly that the fertilizer had increased the yield by at least 50 per cent and commending his son’s enterprise in making the experiment.

WEEKLY COMMENT ON THE WORLD OF WHEAT BY H. G. L. STRANGE,
The fondest hopes of thousands of Western farming families were ruth- lessly destroyed in 1916 by the germ killer—black stem rust.
“We must help these suffering peo ple,” exclaimed Dr. Buller, head of the Botany Department, University of Manitoba, He jumped on a train and proceeded to the rust infected State of Minnesota to find out what the scientists there were doing to combat the enemy.
Dr, Buller’s recommendations for Canada’s action were submitted to Ot tawa, Dr, Grisdale, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, and Dr. Gussow, Do- minion Botanist, were jointly respons- ible for the quick allocation of $5,000 for rust investigational work.
Research Laboratories were established at Indian Head and Bran- don; then later at the University of Saskatchewan; all under the direction of Professor Fraser.
The same destruction of Western crops by rust, however, occurred again in 1923.
“Much more must be done by the Government to save these crops and homes,” urged the Dominion Minister of Agriculture, Mr, Motherwell, Back- ed up by Dr, Tory, of the Research Council, Mr. Motherwell in 1924 ob- tained from Parliament $50,000.
With this fund, in 1925, the present Rust Research Laboratory at Winni- peg was built, directed by Dr. Bailey until 1928; by the scientist, Dr,

Breaking Their Backs
More than startling are the figures of expenditures being made for war and defence by the nations of the world recently revealed in tabulated form as an annex to an American cartoon captioned “Just Pocket Money”.
The trony of the heading is immediately realized when the figures are scanned and analyzed for they show a progressively increasing expenditure by the combined nations of the world from 1933 onward when the total martial bill is $3,992,000,000 as compared with $10,730,700,000 for last
year and an estimate of least $12,000,000,000 for the current year
Roughly the contributions to the war god by about two billions of dollars every year. The governments of the countries involved are stepping it up every year by about that amount and have been doing so since 1933,
taxpayers of the world are being asked to increase their
Now such tigures as ten or twelve billions of dollars may not convey
very much to the comprehension of the average man on the street in the eity or the farmer in the country, but a little reflection on the effect of this enormous drain on the resources of the countries involved, present and future, must surely lead to wonderment at the ability of the people to stand
such an enormous drain and speculation as to the length of time that must lapse before financial ruin and chaos will overtake the spenders.
A little reflection on the subject must also lead to the conviction that something to avert the threatened catastrophe, whether juvenated League of Nations or by some other agency, and
must be done

that
i S likely to be done except through the leadership of the demo-
cratic group of nations The present day situation has been brought about by the aggressiveness of some of the nations who are determined to win back what they lost in the war of 1914-18, by fear on the part of other nations who are afraid of
what may happen to them as a result of the aggressiveness on the part of
their neighbors d by the dictates of prudence and the force of necessity n the part of the remaining nations who see that unless they are armed, purely as a defensive measure, they may become an easy prey in the event of the outbreak of a major conflict despite all desires to remain neutral; and pursue the paths of peace
It is this latter group of nations the countries which still remain con-
verts to the democratic form of government—represented most powerfully by Great Britain and the United States, which must lead the way in the h for some method to halt this headlong rush towards bankruptcy.
There are some writers who have advanced the theory that the coun-
espousing the cause of democracy should stand aside and let the pro-
Sear’
igonists of fascism and communism fight it out among themselves and destroy one another if they want to do it, but this position is untenable in practice for several reasons
In the first place it is generally agreed by most authorities that demo-
eratic neutrality would be almost impossible in the event of a major con- flagration between member-nations of the other groups. It is asserted that,

New X-Ray Machine
Great Step In Advance In Making Pictures Of Human Anatomy A new X-ray machine, which “sees around” bones and takes accurate cross-sections of any tissue of the body at any depth, was demonstrated for the first time to members of the American College of Physicians. The machine ‘makes possible what has hitherto been impossible,"’ Dr. Sherwood Moore of the Edward Mal- linckrodt Institute of of 3arnes hosp'tal said, since pictures can be made of a layer of tissue to

an accuracy of one centimetre, or about one-third of an inch. X-ray pictures now made are a
mass shadow of all the organs of the body or of an entire arm or leg, with many parts partially or wholly ob- scured,
To demonstrate the delicate focus the machine, called “lamina- graph,” Dr. Moore showed the first picture ever made of the breast bone of a person. Formerly it was impos- sible to obtain such a picture because the spine obscured the rays. The device will take accurate photograph of the marrow through the solid part of or of the spine without interference from the internal organs.
It is theoretically al- though no such attempts have been made yet because the machine is so new, to photograph any section of the brain, to look at the inside of the liver, stomach, gall bladder or other organ and to locate accurately and determine the condition of tumors, cancers and other growths.
Jean Kieffer, 37-year-old superin- tendent of the mechanical labora- tories of the Connecticut state tuber- hospital at Norwich, invented the apparatus.

The Human Factor May Be Greatest Handicap In Con- | nection With Air Route
The “human factor” might be the greatest handicap in speedy pletion of the trans-Canada air route J. A. Wilson, Dominion controller of civil aviation, told the Toronto board of trade.
Canadian pilots had been deprived of the opportunity for night flying since abandonment of the earlier trans-Canada service made up of in- ter-city “hops”, Mr, Wilson said While believed * undoubtedly can catch up, the training and edu- cating of pilots flying blind at night on radio beams was “a personal fac- tor and infinitely difficult to

surmount” than technical and physi- |
cal problems.
One of the greatest handicaps in the establishment of the route in Wilson's opinion was, he said, “our
overgrown railway system.” Earliet attempts were abandoned, he said, to develop faster transportation, so the pioneer flyers turned to the north where developed a fine air service

Louis, where young Wadlow has been
examined frequently, termed him an ideal subject for study of the gi« nh hormone secreted by the pituitary which in his case apparently got out of control

ished entirely or given ample pro- tection. That appears to be as far as Canada can go at the present time in view of the enormous ex- pense entailed in the construction of overhead bridges and subways, The lesson is that the travelling public
must give heed and protect itself in the meantime,

He put the holy oil on her, and her’
mind was comforted.
“Sit over by the window,” Mistress O'Shea said to me. ‘Your mother doesn’t want you to be looking at her, Paddy. She doesn’t want you to
remember the look of her face in the
sickness.”
The dip stuck in bottle guttered and spent itself during the watches of that terrible night. The agonies of the destroying disease were distressing.
As the sky began to brighten with the dawn, the stiffening collapse of the disease overcame my mother's body. Mistress O'Shea crossed her- self as she covered the rigid face.
I hoisted the window to let soul get out.
Two rough-looking men with a one-horse cart came in the forenoon to take my mother’s body away. They were gathering bodies of the Catholic poor for burial in a potter's field at the east side of the city. They had started off with a load of empty board coffins, and Mr, O’Ho- gan’s place was the final call on that trip. They placed an empty coffin on the street. They came upstairs with a heavy bag made of ducking.

I knew my mother was not yet dead because only one eye was closed. But they shoved her stiff body into their bag and tied the mouth of it with a stout cord. One of the men shouldered the burden and bore it to the street. The lid of the coffin was hammered on. It was hoisted up into its place on the
cart. The cart trundled off up York Street. And I followed after.
As we rounded the corner of Rich- mond Street, Dick Crispin was open- ing the bar-room door of his yellow tavern. Mr. Crispin had been in ser- with Sir John Colborne, the governor; and his public house was much frequented by official gentry from below stairs. The carter hol- lered to him for a drink. Coachman

But they were brave
men, doing a necessary and danger-|
ous duty. Drinking heavily was the only precaution they knew.
It was a curious funeral procession that wended its way along Richmond Street, up Church, and east on Queen Street an old cart full of corpses, two drunken carters, a dirty, ragged little urchin, with tear-stained face
and a bob-tail collie that did not un-|
derstand. The road cleared in front of us; and people closed doors and ducked up alleys as we passed along.
Anyway there was one mourner present, which is more than
of true sorrow is always self pity. I was not so much sorry for my poor mother, I felt helpless and utterly lonely; and I was sorry for myself because they were taking her away from me.
I followed along after the cart, blubbering and poking my grimy | knuckles into my eyes. Rover knew)

clothed, barefoot nor shod.
| “Paddy, what have you been do-

“Sure, Mrs, Trueman,” said I, “my mother died from me, and T'd place at all to go.”
“You poor child!” she exclaimed, “just bide where you are.”

When night set in, I slipped down the alley to the east of the Tavern’ Tyrone. Rover whined a welcome from the stable door, It is a quality of a dog's friendship that he knows all your secret faults, yet remains loving and kind to be sure; and he will never despitefully use you. I was sick and tired as a child is after hysteria of any kind; and I was actu- ally weak, because I had fasted the livelong day, which is sore against the grain of a little boy's belly. I laid me down in the sweet, crisp hay; and Rover snuggled over beside me. In my utter loneliness, the dog's sympathy and loving-kindness refreshed me; and my body felt warmer. Sobbing, I fell asleep.

me. <A pail of unslacked lime in chunks the size of hens’ eggs was sprinkled on the stable floor.
I was given my breakfast in the back kitchen. There were no lumps {in the porridge the Trueman girls made, nor was it a sloppy gruel of a lazy housekeeper. Fresh oaten meal was boiled for many hours, cooking slowly in a vessel suspended in the water of a black pot that hung on its hook over the open fireplace. There was a richness to that por- ridge and the body of it was such that it would jelly as the heat left it.
A big bowl of it was given me;
and over the top Violet Trueman poured maple syrup as thick as molasses. I could feel my bowels
stirring and stretching up within me and yearning for it. I gave it two or three turns with my spoon to let the sweetness sink into the heart of the delicious mass. Then I smothered it with cows’ milk, warm from _ the milking pail. It was a food to sweet- en the soul; and it stuck close to the sides of my belly.

KNOW THYSELF

(By Rey,
Over the entrance to a famous an-
cient university were carved the words | Thyself.” Making grateful | acknowledgement to Prof, Overstreet | we shall in a brief way put forward }
“Know
| a few ideas about knowing ourselves. |
Psychology is the science of human | behaviour. It is so new that many refuse to acknowledge it as a science There is probably more nonsense writ- ten about psychology than on any oth- er topic.
First there is the question of being mature or really grown up. How many mature? Do you regress to the} infantile by pushing off the disagree- able, giving in to tantrums or loud- mouthed fussing or other forms of self-indulgence known as chip-on-the- shoulder disagreeableness? If so you are not grown up.
Self control involves adjustment in | actual ways to the natural and also | to the human environment. Can you live with folk without childishly de- manding your own way? Certain de- finite symptoms are recongnizable in the infantile retreat from mature self- control, Consider these phenomena as | examples: that the eraze for fun after | the war was actually a retreat from | which
are
|
real problems we we re!
| too tired or afraid to face; that the | bully in an infantile type even when
he is found in adult life; that cussing | when things go wrong is another in- | dication of children jn trousers, Littl> | children want their own way regard- | less until they learn to respect other folks as having rights,
Have you not known folk who take flight from
problems into hon- Sympathy jis much} than strugrle and |
real disease ? easier to endure discipline.
The only truly mature person is the one who has attained within him- self the and courage to face situations squarely and to cal] them by their right names.

Tommy came out of a room in which his father was tacking down a carpet. He was crying lustily.
“Why, Tommy, what’s the matter?” asked his mother.
“P-p-p-papa hit his finger with the hammer,” sobbed Tommy.
“Well, you needn’t cry at a thing like that,” comforted his mother. “Why didn’t you laugh?”
“T did,” sobbed Tommy.

to see you
IF EVERYBODY with something to interest you should come and ring your bell, what a nuisance it would be- Think of the swarming, jostling crowd, the stamping of feet on your porch and carpets!
Every week we know of many callers who come to see you, They never jangle the bell—they don’t take up your whole day trying to get your attention. Instead, they do it in a way that is most considerate of your privacy and your convenience, They adver- tise in your newspaper!
In this way you have only to listen to those you know at a glance have something that interests you. They make it short, too, so you can gather quickly just what you want to know. You can receive and hear them all without noise or confusion in a very few minutes.
In fairness to yourself look over all the adver- tisements. The smallest and the largest—you never can be sure which one will tell something you really want to know.
