J. B. Priestley’: “Eden mo," which is concerned with the for- tunes of a doctor's family in pi-iqg- ley's native Yorkshire, has been submitted to a. wholesome tighten. ing-up since its initial production. It by no mes-us earned ungtmted praise {r0111 the critics at the first but tho seneral public has taken to it readily.

Quite a substantial measure ‘of support is given P. G. Wcdehouseu “Who's Who" at the Duke 0i York's, although the play has not been classed as an outstanding spepi. men of this writer's achievements in irresponsible humor. For one thing the basic idea in it-of two children belns exchanrea at birth— is rather threadbare. It was cer- tainly not new cven when W. s. Gllbefii employed it in "Pinafore."

The highest of the highbrow critics might heartily admit that O. B. Cochran has surpassed him- self in his revue "Streamline" by A P. Herbert and Ronald Jeans, which is bringing enomous busin- ess to the Palace. Cochran breaks, his own outstanding record in es- tablishing a swift continuity of ex- hilarating speed. spectators are carried breathlessiy through a maze! oi 10-minute impressions, in which the Russian Ballet. th American Cabaret, the Gilbert and Sullivan‘ OINBTBS, and half a score other in- stitutions oi social life are un-' biushinnly carlcatured. |

TORONTO, Oct. 25—Chan'_'e in administration oi the old age pen- sion act, "which will unquestiom’ ably be in the interest of efficiency and fair treatment of applicants and pensicncrs, and will permit oi a saving of at least 830.000 a year to the province and s70 l00 to $80.- 000 s. year to the mu licipalities," was announced today i r Hon.

FIJI ISLANDS HAVE WET AND DRY SIDES

The ,_ ‘ ems which present them- selves to exporters are wail illustra- ted in the case of exports to the Fiji Islands, a colony in the Southern Pacific Ocean comprising about 250 islands of varying siae and having a total area of 7.083 square miles. The largest is about 4.068 square miles. The colony lies some 5,200 miles from Vancouver and 1.140 miles from New Zealand. The climate is tropical with very little change between cum- mer and winter temperatures, the maximum being D2 and the mini- mum 85 degrees, and the seasons are the reverse of those in Canada. In addition there is a marked differ- ence between the east and west sides of the larger islands due to the pre- vailing trade winds. The windward side, which is the wet acne, has a greater rainfall and there is conse- quently a more luxurious vegetation than on the leeward side. In ex- porting products exporters must have all these conditions in mind. Boods of a perishable nature, either from heat or moisture, requiring to be so packed as to prevent deter- ioration trom these cases. For in- stance the usual method of packing oatmeal is in bags but Fiji mer- chants prefer it in sealed tins, not- withstanding that this doubles the cost of the same commodity in bags. states the Industrial Dolllftmlht of the Canadian National Railways.

THE TEMPERANCE ARMY MARCHES FORWARD

‘Po give our readers a velw of one section of our "far-flung battle 1ine,, we repaint the following interesting article from "The Korea Mission Field," which fine - publication reaches us through the kindness of Rev. E.A. Knechtel, BA" B.D., o. United Church missionary stationed at Sungjin, Korea).

The National Branch of the W.C.T.U, in Korea ls making pro- gress. Mrs. Helen Chol, the presi- dent, reported at the meeting 0f our Foreign Branch on Sept. 21, i931, that there were delegates from 22 local unions at the National Con- ference in Seoul, and that there was one representative, Miss Marie Kim, at the World's W.C.'I‘.U. Convention in Toronto, Canada, in June, 1931. Twelve new local unions were form- ed through the efforts of the travel- ling secretary, Miss Hyo Duk Lee, five of them being in Manchurla, where she went late in August. Since then Miss Lee has visited Whang Hal Hovince, Anak, and vicinity, and established 15 more local unions. The local unions total a good ninety now with the mem- bership over the 2.000 mark.

A temperance paper was issued for the first time early in 1931, and the whole output or 10,000 copies was sold. A second number has just been issued and it is hoped that each missionary will do his utmost to encourage the sale and reading of it in his treritory. Bible classes, Institutes. Young People's Organi- zatlons, Sunday Schools. Women's Societies, and Church Groups may thus uphold the hands of the W.C. T.U.. in Korea till temperance edu- cation has covered the land and the battle is won.

Another first step taken this year was an essay Contest among the middle school students, announced in the temperance paper and also

have the upright maghogany_m brought to the personal attention

of mission schools in Seoul. The response as very meagre, only six essays, none of which was deemed wortluy of first prize. but second and third prizes wcnt to Pyengynng and Taiku students. It as a start at least. Now there ls to be a, second contest. subject. rules, date, prizes, all announced in the new temper- ance paper.

GAILANDER, Ont., Oct. WG-Like hothouse plant-s the famous Dionne quintuplets have flourished in an atmosphere of careful attention, but Dr. A. R Defoe, their physi- cian, believes a. return to the xough-and-ready existence into which they were born would pro- duce a dangerous set-back in their condition.

‘The kindly, middle-aged north country doctor who has struggled with his five tiny charges until they have reached the age of 21 weeks and two days, said today that while the babies had reached the normal life expectancy of a single new-bom child, elation over the fact was subject tc qualifica- tion. They had that expectancy, hc declared, only as long as they re- maincd in the environment of the hospital built especially for them and received the care to which they had become accustomed.

"They have become so accustom- ed to luxury," he said. "they would not be able to do without it now ‘they must remain under the con- ditions in which they have been living. with the best food obtain- able for them and skillful nursing."

The children, now bv-nnzed, spent most of their time in the air sleen- ing, but howl prodlgously if the weather is wet and they cannot be taken out.
