Of u staff" He indicated tho
young man beside him. "A new
member but bearing an old name. A
chip of the old block-@the old Twyn-
ing block" He smiled, stroking his
whale-like front rather as though
this ~pleasantry had proceeded from
Its depths and he was congratulating
1t. The young. man smiled. Twyning,
edging forward from the background,
also smiled. All the smiles were
rather nervous. Sabre's immediate
thought had been that it was an odd
thing to have taken on young Twyn-
ing without mentioning 1t even cas-
ually to him. 1t was significant of
his estrangement in the office.
Mr.. Fortune ceased to stroke the
Whale-like front. I'm point of fact,
Sabre, this very natural and pleasing
desire of Twyntng to have his son in

gratiiied to support, is his first

He paused before young Twyning.
Well. young man. now you've made
your bow before our literary adviser
I think we decided to. call him Harold,
Ell, Twyning? Avoid confusion, don't
you agree, Sabre?"
If that's his NAME" Sabre said.

cANAD1AN-AMER1cAN WEEK.

The kiwanis organization, with its more than
even hundred clubs in the United States and Can
5da, is making its contribution this week to the
ause OF world peace and progress in providing for
ne exchange of speakers by clubs on the respective
ldes OF the line, and by holding exercises devoted
specially to the ~ommemoration of the century and
.1ore OF peace between the two countries and to the
ult1vatlon OF a spirit which will maintain that
tatus perpetual1y and which will lead to still closer
nd more friendly relations between the two coun-
.ies.
Some speaker in the senate the other dav said
hat the United States and Great Britain had re-
famed at peace during the past century not because
any treaty agreements, but because of the mag
}ihcent common sense of the two peoples. I'm
soubtedly that is true. If there had been a strong
opposition to fight, all the treaties that could have
cen written could not have prevented it. But the
pmmon sense which desired peace expressed itself,
,rnong other ways, i'll the signing of treaties-onc
teaty in particular-which tended to eliminate DOS
- bic causes Of annoyance and irritation which
light easily have been m~agnifed into causes OF
-yar. Common sense has expressed itself still
Nirther in the scrupulous observance of the letter
nd the spirit of those treaties.
For more than a century two great and grow
hg nations have lived in peace and amity, side by
tde, with the three thousand-mile line separating
hem ungr1arded by a fort, a ship, a soldier or a gun.
hat unguarded frontier has contributed to the most
ordial relations, not only between this country and
sanada, but between this country and all of the
lreat empire of which Canada is a part, and it has
III llayedsno small part in creating the conditions
Khich insured the triumph of democracy through
fut the world.
81 ut is fitting that such an event should be recop-
iizcd and celebrated. The splendid relations which

ANOTHER FAMILY HEARD FROM.

The Hcrald's comment on the statement of Mr..
Jewell that all income Of $2,636 is the minimum on
brought a response from a reader who is qualified
to speak, although he is not writing for publication.
The writer is the father of thirteen living children,
and he agrees with The Herald that Mr.. JEWELS
estimate is absurd. Without going too much into
the substance Of the letter it may be stated that this
man., a farmer, has maintained his family in comfort,
and has accumulated a competence. For sixteen
years during which he kept exact account of all re-
ccipts and disbursements, his average income was
only 1928: In arriving at this figure he credited the
farm with all vegetables produced, but not with
rent of living quarters or milk used by the family.
These items would bring the figures up to 81 900 or
81, 100.
There have been almost any number of suc,
Experiences. In comparing the methods of different
families it is often said that one family throws into
tho garbage can more than the entire living of an
other, and that statement is almost literally correct.
Ability to live we'll is less a matter of income than
of character. /.
