omce for nine years he kept none of these pledges. Compare the rec- ord of the Bennett administration, which has managed the country during the five most difilcult years of the world depression. rn spite of the obstacles raised by unprecedent- edly adverse world conditions, this Conservative Government has def- initely placed on the statute books the following bills; (1) Providing for an eight-hour day and a 48- hour week. (2) Providing for one day of.rest in seven. (3) Limiting hours of work on Government con- tracts to 44-hour week and ensur- ing _(air wages.

(14) Encouraging home- building through a. $10,000,000 treas- ury grant. ; The two records, as the Mail and Empire points out, stand side by side. One is a record of unfulfilled promises, the other is a record of action. The fact is that the Con-

Klng's opening gun-fire is-“the same old laissez-fair`e; the same old gaseous, high-'solmding explosive rhetoric; the same old nothlngness."

_R.t. I-Ion. W. '-L. Macken_z__ie King is proceeding on ` the assumption that the're is no need for him to do or promise anything for elec- tion purposes, as Old Man Depres- sion is his best and most effective canvasser. We shall see.

A Sydney contemporary moral-

izes that the “defeat of the Mac- Millan govemment in Prince Ed- ward Island was expected, but it is to be regretted that no supporter of ine snmmutmtion was fretted. A strong and competent opposition is as much to be desired in any par- liamentary body as a capable _gov- ernment itself." -

The greatest. .number..oL. .whole- sale and retail~huyers since 1M9` is reported at fall merchandise shows by manufacturers_ this month. Heavy orders for women's wear and household articles have been placed and the purchasing done covers electrical refrigerators and smaller appliances, and chinawere, kitchen utensils, glassware and decorative pottery.

‘ Manufacturers whose products call for distinctive colours are in- terested in the prediction by the National Retail Dry Goods Associa- tion that brighter shades will be popular this fall. According to the report, 25 per cent. of the women will select green,,e§f per cent. will choose shades ra`nging"fron‘i brown to amber, and the balance will fav- our shades of rust. black, purple, wi.ne and blue ln the order named.

"Premier-elect Lea of Prince Ed-

ward Island, in discussing lack of an omcial opposition 'in the new provincial Parliament, remarked," _says the Montreal Gazette, "that opposition might develop in the ranks of the Government itself. There are many precedents to this effect, in Canada and elsewhere. Generally it does not talre long for- disaatisfactiorr to develop ,when there is no common enemy to take issue with."

The moon is even more thoroughly obscured by heavy clouds than it is by the earth's shadow. The best we shall be able to do is to give the exact moment cf total eclipse." Then there began a tick-tock, and it was explained that this was a chronometer in the back-ground. "Twelve seconds to totality,” said the professor. "Just five seconds now." said ihe poo- fcssor. “The moon is now totally eclipsed.” said the professor. "Good evening, ali."

Fielding had a clean sweep of this province and the same was repeat- ed in the year 1921. This was the year of the so-called “Solid lil." What good such an overwhelming sweep ever did this province might be a. question fzr discussion, for ev- idently the electors themselves were not satisfied with their ¢XD¢r- ience between 1921 and 1926 and not only turned out the provincial Liberal govemment leaving only three supporters of that govern- ment out of 44 members. but it worked a similar turnover in the federal elections of that -year as well.

The experience would seem to be

that such electoral upsets rarely, if ever. justify the feeling behind them md that the legislature or parliament with a strong and alert opposition has one of the best safe- guards for soundness in legislation. Certainly there will be but little in-

the most fertile country in the world is not the Nile that comes from Equatorial Africa. but the tri- butaries that come down from the Abyssinian highlands, and especial- ly the Blue Nile and the Atbara.

The wealth and the great place

of Ikypt in the w0rld’s history are, in fact. the gift of the waters from Abysainil. Not only is the fertilis- ing equality of the Nile doodwai/ers due to the deposits that the Blue Nile and the Atbsra bring down. but without these tributaries the Nile most years would hardly flood at all. The supply of water that reaches Egypt from the White Nile is fairly steady at some 14.000 cubic feet per second. On the other hand, the Blue Nile and the Atbara in iiood bring down as much as 500.- 000 cubic feet per second. Moreover, the Blue Nile rises in Abyssinia in Lake 'I‘sana._and there have been many projects for dammilis iii” waters in its devious course before it 'reaches the Sudan.
