In Manitoba, the develop- ment of a gust of menace dominates the crop situation.

“Drought continues tc take a toll from crops in parts of south-west- ern, west-central and north-western Saskatchewan, but apart from thsee areas conditions continue favorable.-

“The Maritime Provinces: Condi- tions are favorable for growingl crops in Prince Edward Island.‘ Moisture is sufficient for present needs. Haying is under way and‘, the crop is better than last year. Cereals are growing well and corn. potatoes and roots are promising. The crop situation in Nova Scotia is generally favorable with satisfac- tory growing weather during the

past two weeks. An average hay ‘

crop is being gathered. Grains are making good program and pastures have improved. Further rairls will be needed shortly. New Brunswick crops are progressing with sufficient moisture for the present. haying is under way. Cereals are showing a

good growth."

Dinah Turban Latest Parisian Hat Success

NEW YORK. July 17—Tho newest looking hat in Paris. according to first-hand information, is one worn by Mrs. Reginald Fellowes. It is a Dinah turban like that associated with a negro mummy, but it is in black mat jersey with knotted ends at front, and is from Schiaparelli. Small hats continue to lead in Paris despite the warm weather, including Suzyis "Amazon" shape, which is trimmed with ostrich, and Rebouxb flower toque. There are also num- erous berets worn.

Italian Renaissance colors are important in most fabric showings. including light and dark reds in- fluenced by yellow or violet and also bluish or grcyish greens and soft madonrm blues.

One of the plcasantest headnotes for in-betrvcen-sorlson as evidenced 5y advance imports which reflect autumn tendencies is the "half hat."

This silhouette is sponsored by several creators. but launched by miboux in her flower visor model. It is a. cuff-turban with a bonnet suggestion. which is cut squarely off acrom the top of the head, leaving the entire back cf the head exposed. Frequently them is a semi~stitched narrow bandeau to hold it securely. The half hat is a silhouette which has already been developed in felt, fabrics and flat furs by n. New York milliner. with so much talk of os- trich in the air, for more formal oc- casicns, the place where the back of the hat should be could be filled in by curled or uncurled ostrich feath- en

While fabric hats are being worn. then is lees inclination than form- erly to choose a hat made cf the fabric of the costume wom. Hats themselves are often of two ormore colors Brits. even tailored ones, have contrasting bands. and this idea. is apt to follow through in hats of diverse kinds. There is how- OVBI‘.

Bird Believed Extinct 300 Years Discovered

HAMILTON. Bermuda, July 17- Dr. William Beebe announced today the discovery of the mend speci- men found in 300 years of the Pter- odrama, Clihow bird. This species was found in millions by the first settlers of this colony but was sup- posed to have become extinct about 1630. It is peculiar to Bermuda.

The specimen. found dead at the foot cf Si. David's lighthouse, was given by the keeper to Dr. Beebe, who sent the specimen to the Am- erlcan Museum for identification. The authorities informed him the measurements and characteristics tallied with those of a. specimen discavcred in 1006 by Louis I... Mowbray. Bermuda scientist.

William Strachey in 1610 des- cribed the Cahow as "a silly bird,” so tame that it would alight on the shoulders of early settlers. The Cahow disappeared after thous- ands had been slaughtered for 100d dfirlng periods of famine. _

Academy 300 Years Old

The French Academy was found- ed in ‘I685 broaramu Richelieu, when. ‘Cluef Minister of State" of Louis XIILconsequently its lament- ary falls within the current year; it may 0r may not be then observed, however.

The Academicians are just now divided into two factions; thgse who desire the festivities to await, the completion of the eighth edition of the "Dictlonnalre de I'Academie" which may or may not be fllimpletgd in time; and those who desire to celebrate the anniversary irrespect- ively of the fl-Dpearance of the mm- ous vocabulary.

This year is also the fifth anni. versnry of the launching of the Academy's "Grammar," the “best. seller" of its day. but of that noth- i113 has been said. and the Immort- als do not indulge in conversation about it.

PPFWEVQT- B11 may be well, for the lexlcographcrs at work on the eighth edition are said to have promised that the initial copy will be in COll- ditlon to present to the President of the Rrpublic before the close of slimmer. Meanwhile, they are rc- pcrtcd to be toiling "in shirtslccrcs and by thr- grnce of God." as Balzac once said he did. Still. observes the London Observer's correspondent: “It will be a close thing, for they are at present discussing the words beginning with the letters UR, and the final part. when once complet- ed, will have to be printed. The first part appeared in 1929. The previous edition of the dictionary had been finished in i877. after which the ‘immortals’ took a short rest.

The tcrcenicnary celebrations themselves will find the Academy considerably short of its full stren- gth 0T forty; for two seals are vac- ant. and there are as many as five members who. although elected. have nobfet been ocicially received, and are therefore not entitled to be present at a meeting."
