SHOOTING STARS.
BY pH1LANDER JoHNsoss.

The Time of Times.
The lazy day comes drifting near.
The Summer breeze sings low.
But just the same we like to hear
That factory whistle blow.
We list to the Hawaiian lay
That sounds beneath the moon,
And yet the song of workaday
Sounds out the fairest tune.
1t is the song of hope and home
And of affections warm,
That tells of faith that does not roam
And safety in the storm.
So mid the rhythms light and fast
That cheerily draw near,
The factory whistle will at last
Afford the greatest cheer.

The doll can walk and talk and open

sent the doll Immediately to the little
suffering Zulema. She was asleep, but
not long after she opened her wonder

name of an unknown, most reticept

Celtic Congress
In London This Summer.
Irish Independent, Dublin.-The Gel
tic Congress is to be in London this
Summer 1t has been held in every cen
ter of the Celtic race except Cornwall
and the Isle of Man would prefer not
to have the congress until 1881. because
this year there is to be a great fore
gathering of Manxmen from all over the
world, on which the island wishes ia
concentrate
This coming Celtic Congress will be
a grand opportunity to tell the world
the real story of the Celts and theil
great contribution to the fabric of Brit
ish literature. to the equally massive
fabric of British craftsmanship, and ia
the building up of that great federation
Of lpeoples very unhappily) described
as "The British Empire"
One use for the congress will be to
decide upon the pronunciation of tbs
word Celtic" Most delegates to the
congress will cali it Kettle" but somC
call 1t settle" After all, one of the
objects of the congress is to advance
literature. and, possibly, when it is ovei
we shall know how to pronounce
Celtic
we have always called it "Keltic"
and intend to do so. "Keltic" is quite
right. 1t is only Anglicized people who
have gone astray.

The relatively small floating
supply of this stock has ac-
counted for its volatile movements
in the past, but with the utility
group apparently coming back
into It's old time popularity,
further sharp advances in this
issue are not unlikely. An i'm
portant feature of its. financial
makeup is that unlike the ma
jority of public utility corpora
tions, the capital stock makes up
the largest part Of its capitaliza-
ton. Net income for 1929 rep

is now playing at Loew'S Palace.
In this all-talking Paramount
production, Cooper is cast as q
private in the famous Canadian
fighting regiment, the BLACK
Watch" and as such wears the
black and green kits of HThe
Ladies From He'll"
Unaccustomed to having eight
and one-half yards of wooden
material dangling from his
waist, Cooper found 1t q diff
cult matter at first to sit down
with any measure of grace and
poise. He discovered also that
every time he sat he ruined the
neatly pressed creases in the
kiltie.
Billy Brighton, who fought
through the war in the Cana.
dian BLACK Watch" and who
plays a bit part in support of
Cooper in the picture, came to
the aid Of the young star. He
taught the actor the trick of
smoothing down the kilt with
his hand as he seated himself,
and In an hours time Cooper
could ease himself into o chair
with all the aplomb Of q vet
eran Highlander.
