THE ROYAL VISIT

One lesson to be learned by those communi- ties that have yet to be honored by the presence of Their Majestics, says the Financial Post, is that citizens should be allowed to come as near to the King and Queen as possible, consistent with safety. To rope off large areas which per- mit the general public to see the King and Queen only from a great distance is unwise and unnecessary. The breaking of the police lines at Kingston, for example, could have been avoided if the local committee had not been overzealous in their efforts to provide ample space for the official welcome. Similarly the welcome in front of Quebec's Legislative Build- ings would have been more enthusiastic if the crowds had not been kept at so great a distance.

Every effort, the Post suggests, should be made by local committees to inject color into the Royal procession. So far the best results have been achieved when the Royal couple have been attended bv cavalry escorts. More care, too, will be needed to ensure that loud-speaker lystems really perform the functions for which they are intended.

PAYING THEIR RENT

Not the least interesting of the ceremonies fn which King George will take part on his journey across Canada was that in which the "Gentlemen Adventurers of England," common- ly known as the Hudson's Bay Company, “paid their rent.” They paid it in two ivide-spreading elk heads and two lustrous black beaver skins.

This is a ceremony, a paying of rent, which goes back into the centuries. It had its origin in the fact that famcs, Duke of York, had been given £300 stock in the Company, of which he was the second Governor. On this abdication this passed to William of Orange, and on Sep- tember 26, i690, Sir Edward Dcring, deputy ‘governor, with four members of the committee and other Adventurers, went to Kensington

Palace bearing the accrued dividends of the King in golden guineas. Sir Edward, the records tell, knelt before

His Majesty and prcscntcd him with a purse of gold, whereupon “the deputy governor and all the rest had the honor to kiss His Majesty's hand."

The ceremony of paying rent to King George, which took place in Winnipeg by Fort Garrv Gate, was a curious ritual. A fanfare of trum- pets proclaimed the arrival of the King, where- upon a “l-Iigh Stmvard" and a “High Bailiff" successively called: “Patrick Ashley Cooper." Patrick Ashley Cooper (the Governor of the Company) having stepped forward, the “High Steward" asked: “Are you ready and willing to render your Suit and Service as in duty bound i" Patrick Ashley Cooper then answered: “Ready, indeed, and we hereby tender to His Most Gracious Majesty the two Elk Heads and two Black Beaver Skins with the humble ex- pression of our loyalty, love and affection, now jlld so long as we shall live." The presentation being then made (Patrick Ashley Cooper being on one knee) and accepted by the King, the “High Bailiff” said: “Let every Man depart and keep his Day upon a new warning and so God Save the King." To a hnfare of trumpets the King departed.

THE ELECTION RETURNS

It is evident from the provincial election returns that nothwithstziniling the snap verdict obtain- ed by mcans of doles and patronage promises, plus road conditions which made Conservative organization iii rural districts impossible in the short time available, the vote, as between the two parties. was pretty evenly divided. It rep- resented for the most part a falling off in Lih~ eral votes and an increase in Conservative votes.

The most striking turnover was in Charlotte- town. where in I935 the majority for the Lib- eral candidates, Messrs. Trainor and Prowse was 266 and 744 respectively. These were con- verted into Conservative majorities of 418 for Dr. MacMillan and 9ft for Mr. Stewart, the latter polling the largest majority vote of any candidate in the contest.-

In Fourth Queens the majorities of the Lib- eral candidates, Messrs. Jones and MacKinnon, were reduced from 28f and 408 in i935, to 35 and 2q5_

In First Kings Mr. Acorn's increased major- ity (from i5 in i935 to 76 in i939) is account- ‘m for by the fact that he ran this time on the franchise instead of property vote, .thus cap- italizing on the propaganda sent out through the Fishermen's sLoan Board. Even so, he fell 2r: votes short of the Liberal majority 0n the dratichise ballot four years ago.

In Second Kings Mr. Cox, who boasted that he would increase his majority this year drop- 'ped from 606 in ‘i935 to 32a.

To seal the new pact with U. S. S. R. it is reported Marshal Klemcnti Voroshiloff, Russian War Commissar, has been invited to attend Great Britain's next army manoevures. The

invitation for the head of the red army was among s. number reported scnt to European army ehiefs—presumably those of Britain's Allies such as Poland, Rumania,

Greece and Turkey. n iv One of Britain's historical political forces, the Independent Labor Party which gave Viscount Snowden and Ramsay MacDonald their starts in public life, faces virtual extinction. A power in the land since I893 when it was formed by two Scottish miners, Keir Hardie and Robert Smiley, the I.L.P. seems to be breaking up. Al- ready one quarter of its parliamentary force, G. Buchanan, has deserted to thr- official Labor

McGovern, are flirting with the idea. That would leave only James bfaxton, one of the most picturesque and best liked members of the

House of Commons, as sole representative of the party. n u m a Earthworms have been found to play a

villain's role in the transmission of swine in- fluenza, a troublesome and money-losing dis- ease of pigs. Their conviction as disease car- riers is based on experiments conducted at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research by Dr_ Richard E. Shope. Dr. Shape presents a summary of his results in Science. The cycle of swine influenza is a more complicated affair than the mosquito-man combination in such dis- eases as malaria and yellow fever. It involves the pig, the earthworm, a parasitic lungworm that lives part of the time in the pig and the rest of its life in the earthworm, a filterable virus (the ultimate cause of the disease) that the lungworm always carries, and a bacterium known as hemonphylus influenzae suis that pro- vokes the virus to produce the disease symp- toms. ‘ I I Effect of the phases of the moon on seed that seeds sown just prior to the full moon fare germination and plant growth is the subject of discussion in England. It is asserted by some the wane. A reader of The London Observer contributes this from a condensed ephemeris for the years 1850 to i016 by Herbert T. Waite, a civil engineer: "While holding the position of District Engineer on an important railway in Brazil, administered by an English company, the present writer made his first acquaintance with astrological thought through the company's con- tract with the suppliers of wood sleepers for the railway. The engineers, having proved by ex- perience that their native inspectors were right in their statement that lunar conditions, affect- ing the rise and fall of the sap in the trees, were largely responsible for the splitting, warping, and short ‘life’ of sleepers, the contracts in- cluded lunar stipplations, based on astrological law, resulting in great saving to the company, in addition to enhancing the security of the per- manent way." n- iu io- e The gold medal given annually by the Amer- ican Medical Association for a scientific exhibit of individual investigation, judged “on the basis of originally and excellence of presentation,” has been presented at St. Louis to Doctors George W. Thorn, R. Palmer Howard, Kendall‘ Emerson _lr., and Warfield M. Firor of Johns Hopkins University and Hospital, Baltimore, for their exhibit illustrating studies on the adminis- tration of the synthetic substance known as des-oxy-cortico-steronc, used in Addison's dis- ease as an effective substitute for the hormone from the cortex of the adrenal gland. Dr. Thorn and his associates have devised a method whereby the synthetic conical hormone of the adrenals, one of the gland substances essential to life, can be implanted in the form of a con- centrated pellet which supplies the body's needs for a period of ninemonths. The pellet is im- planted ln the shoulder, and is used by the body at a very slow rate of absorption. acting in this respect as e "hormone'bank” that supplies to the body its daily needs of the vital hormone. and thus doingaway witlrths necessity for daily
