Dr. Dollfnas, the Austrian Chan- cellor, paid another visit to Rome last week-end, with the obvious aim of strengthening his hand in his struggle with the Nazis. In that he had s c- " nlble success. He got Italy's promise to implement her guarantee of a loan to Austria; he signed s Concordat with the Vati- an; and he was able to announce (what is not news, but is repeated as a warning to Germany.) that "an independent Austria had a warm friend in Signor Mussolini." Am in- dependent Austria-may be better than an Austria absorbed into Hit- ler's Germany, but, in the form to which it was doomed by the trreaty of St. Germain, it will remain a discontented and a dangerous unit in Europe.

U. S. DEFICIT L4 BILLION

When United States Secretary of

the Treasury Woodln closed his

books for the fiscal year i933 on June-GO, he did so with the second largest peacetime government de- ficit in the history of his country.

Preliminary figures show that the Government "ran into the red" to the extent of one and thine-quarter billion dollars in the year ending lost month, even with expenditures of more than a billion dollars by the Reconstruction Finance Cor- pcration.

1n the previous fiscal year ended June 30, 1032, when Government ex- penditures reached their peace time Pfiak, the Federal Government op- staid at s deficit of 02386162000. In the war time year ended June 30, 1919, the Government was faced with 8 record high deficit oi‘ $13,- l70,637,000.

With expenditures for the 1N4 fiscal year starting July 1 slashed by nearly a billion dollars, Government statisticians feel that the era. of liirsze deficits is passed. Expenses and receipts for the coming fiscal Y!" are expected to balance at lffiimd 81250000000.

The Government's income for the year ended this June 30 will Up- FIOXIITIMA 01000000900, while 0g- penditurea, exclusive of more than s billion dollars spent by the m- construction Finance Corporation, aggregated approximately 83,750,-

good will. For ten years Sir Robert Borden fought an uphill fight as leader of the Conservative Opposi- tion st Ottawa. and for ten years he controlled and directed the affairs of the Dominion, including four of the most critical and anxious years which the country has ever known. He took charge of the fortunes of the Conservative party when they were at their lowest ebb, when the star of Laurier was in the ascendant and biasing with its greatest bril- liance: and by his perseverance, his scrupulous integrity arid his out- standing ability as a parliamentar- ian, he accompished what seemed at one time the impossible task of party rehabilitation.

‘Phat confidence was never for- felted, never impaired, and the old maxim that the crisis produces the man was never more strikingly ex- emplified in courageous and construc-

can acquire the capacity both for self-government and to think for himself: and, secondly, that human progress will spring from giving free play to individual initiative, imagination and character, not from enforced obedience to constituted authority. Freedom leads inevitably to democracy as the system which enshrines the principle of individual responsibility and is the best guar- antee that law and govemment will, in the long run, rest upon the consent of the governed.

The Wsshlnkton administration now appears to be concentrating upon domestic policies of recuper- ation rather than upon co-opera- tion with other nations. ‘This is why it is holding hack on war debts, tarifls, stabilization of ex- changes and other problems much to the fore at the London Economic Conference. It aims st promoting the return of prosperity in the Unit- ed Ststes by means of inflation, centralized control of industries, Hdiustments in the agricultural in- dustry and a vast program of pub- iic works to provide employment. A crest immv Americans doubt the feasibility cf what they term the Government's "grendoise" experi-

tive national leadership than dur- ing the critical years of the World War under the Borden Govern-

ment. There has been, indeed, no finer figure in this country's public life and Sir Robert's reputation and practice sre not only Empire-wide, but world-wide. l-ls is hale, strong and hearty at seventy-nine, and though free of all political respm- sibilities he is not idle in retirement, nor has his keen concern in the welfare of his country ever abated.

Bylum W. BcfenJLD. l, HAY FEVER SEASON SQON AT HAND

' ‘mere have been many forms of treatment for hey fever, and it would seem that as years pass suf- ferers flnd out how to get through the hay fever season without too much distress.

As you know many take the in- jectiontreatment starting in June and finishing about the third week in August. This helps s number of cases, sometimes taking two to three years of treatment before get- ting results.

Othcr cases have tried the injec- tion fiIQBfviIi€DtS>WilhOUt success and are looking about for any kind of treatment that will give help, as they are unable to go to any of the sections of the country where there is no hay fever.

Some have used the "filtration" rooms with great success, remaining in these rooms about 12 hours of the 24.

The drugs used during the hay

fever season are adrenalin injected under the skin, or the adrophin (Chinese drug) taken by mouth. ‘These give temporary help and en- able tlie patient to "put in" the day.

Some European research physic- ians have been cauterizing the muc- cous or lining membrane of the nose and the particular substance in the mucous membrane that unites with the ragweed or other substance causing hay fever is destroyed. As the mucous lining of the nose is thus removed for the time being, there is no disturbance from the hay fever until the mucous lining is replaced.

Various methods of cauterizing the mucous membrane of the nose are now in use.

One method is the use of a cot- ton swab with 20 per cent cocain to deadedthe painnnd then the whole lining cf the nose that can be reached is painted with an aqueous 50 per cent solution of trichloraoe- tic acid.

Another method is the use of pure phenol applied by means of a cotton swab-saturated and no more— wound around a bent probe, which reaches practically the entire lining of the nose. This doesn't interfere with the sense of smell.

This treatment has been success- ful in some cases of asthma and in preventing colds occurring too often. ‘The thought then is that hay fev- er may be fought in ihcse various ways when the injection treatment, starting 6 to B weeks before the be- ginning of the hay fever season, fails to cure.

Tree Superstition

(Edinburgh Scotsman)

At this period of the year we eXDcct to be visited occasionally by thunderstorms. The months June, and more especially July, known of old as the "month of‘ thunderstorms and thistledown," are often marred by such visitatiohs. Many folks fear the lightning, and when caught out oi‘ doors in a. storm hesitate about seeking shel- ter under trees.

It is only natural that many au- perstitions and beliefs connected with trees and lightning should have been accepted by old-time country people. By some it was be- lieved that the elements respected the oak; others aver that it “draws the stroke." We find these conflict- ing beliefs set down in rhyme. ‘Those folk who fear the oak when thunderstorms are raging never shelter under it, l membering the old verse, which couples the ash with the oak as a dangerous tree:-

"Bewsre of the oak,

It draws the stroke; Beware of the ash.

It courts the flash;

creep under the thorn,

It will save you from harm."

Others say that you may safely seek shelter under an elder tree, for the lightning never strikes it, sTnoe the Saviour! cross was made of it. The thom tree is also said to be immune from the lightning flash, and it is better to shelter beneath e thixt hawthorn hedge during a. storm than under any other tree,

Many other superstitions regard- ing trees have reference to weather lore. For instance, it is thought that if the cal: bursts into leaf before the ash, we shall have only a BMW"? summer, but if the reverse we shell experience s rainy season:

"If the oakis before the ssh, Thm you may expect s splash: But if the ash is ‘fore the oak, Then you must beware a soak."

Wet summers are Iupposed to b, assocsted with an unusual and ex- ceptional quantity of peed; on whitethorn and dogrose. If the ha]; bears many acorns, it fcreiella a long and cold whiter. Scottish peg- sants associate an abundance of rowan berries with much rain and light grain cropsz- '

"Mm! rains. mony rowshs; Mony rowsns, mony ye-wng,»

"Yewns" means the light grain
