Some people are born great, we are told, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them. Mr. john U. Winant, is entit- ded to the last two distinctions. He has achieved the honour of becoming Ambassador to the Court of bt. James, and the very day that was publicly announced, his 2o year old daughter Constance, eloped with a 22 year old Peruvian, Carlos Val- ardo. Connie went to Lima, Peru, in connection with a hospitilization plan of the Peruvian Social Security Board, and ivithout saying “by your leave” to her Dad ran away and got tnarricd at Chinela.

Pierre Corneille, French dramatist, died this date I684. He was the father of the French drama-one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of French tragic writers, and a pioneer of French comedy. His genius was essentially romantic. ln breaking with the stilled style of earlier writ- ,ers of tragedy, Corncille led the way towards the ilater romantic drama. His great work brought him little itionciary return, and in his later years he was superseded in public favour by Racine. His ntasterpiece is Le Cid, and his greatest com- edy Le Menteur, equal to many of Molicrcs. His ﬁnest lyrical work is contained in the tragedy- ballet Psyche, written in conjunction with hlolicre and Quinatilt.

Why Governments Spend Money For Advertising

(‘I'm Ottawa Journal) ‘Toronto Saturday Night. a wekly odical, thinks the “big daily newspapers of Ontario," are les concerned with liberty than they to be and should be, are too slow to wrath over invasion of the people's rights. One reason for this ll: says. Ls “the quite ruthless use of the power of Government patron- age" in the form of aidvertllng. Saturda Night, declares this edi- rlal “ as had the distinction of ‘being excluded frmn the Ontario

Government's advertising lists for several years; and while we have managed to get, along without that species of patronage. being a na- |ttonal periodical, we have no doubt lthat. our experience has not been lwtthout. its psychological effect on some of the more struggling dailies."
