Anniversary Is Erected With
Gifts From U. S.

OTTAWA, Ontario. February GA
marble group commemorating the six
tieth year Of Canada's federation, and
made possible by the contributions of
Canadians living in the United States,
vas unveiled by the governor general,
Lord Bessborough. in the Hall of Fame
in the Parliament Building today.
The memorial was to have been pre-
sented in 1927. when the Dominion
celebrated its 6Oth birthday anniversa-
ry, but various circumstances caused
delay.
w. w. Colpitts, former president of
the Canadian Club in New York, de-
livered the presentation address, and
Premier Bennett made the speech of
acceptance
There are more than million
people of Canadian birth living in the
United States, scattered throughout the
length and the breadth of the land. "
Mr.. Colpitts said Nothing could
speak more eloquently of the unity of
purpose, the similarity of ideals and
the friendly feeling that exists between
the two peoples than the fact that so
many Canadians have found domicile
and happiness and contentment in the
Republic across the border They eX-
erclse a power for great good in the
maintenance OF cordial relations be-
tween the peoples of the two countries. "
The major portion of the money to
pay for the memorial was contributed
by Canadians living in and around New
York.

Woolley bowed benignlv as these vir-

the party came to an end.
One is violating no state secret in
disclosing that DR.. Woolley proved an
agreeable surprise to all the delegation

cultured president of Mount Holyoke
is exactly what Secretary Stimson de-

DR.. Woolley did not head for Geneva

IL, s. ENDS EFFORTS
TO STOP FIGHTING
Japan Warned Troops Must
Leave Settlement at
Own Risk.
Continued From First Page J

Japanese troops is not to protect the
Japanese nationals, but to drive the
Chinese out of their own territory.
While nobody attempts to conceal its
anxiety over the possible dangers the
foreign population in the International
Settlement may incur in certain admin
iStration quarters there is a hopeful
feeling that the landing of the japanese
troops may put an end to the difficult
situation in Shanghai
1t is believed in well informed quar-
terS that the landing of the Japanese
may induce the Chinese to accept the
japanese terms for a truce and may
decide their commander to withdraw to
neutral zone some 80 miles from
Shanghai. There are at present sutfi-
cient foreign troops in Shanghai to as
Sume the control of such neutral zone,
q duty which the meager forces of the
foreign troops could not have under
taken last week when the japanese first
suggested such compromise.
Prevarous Situation Possible.
On the other hand, it is also possible
that the Chinese, encouraged by their
successful resistance in Shanghai. where
they have WithStood a terrific lombard
ment for the last nine days, may refuse
the truce which is being suggested to
them. In that case the situation in
Shanghai may become extremely pre-
cariouS.
So far the Chinese have behaved per-
fectly. In spite of the proVocatlon OF
the japanese, who have been firing at
them from the American sector for siX
days, the Chinese have refrained from
firing against the International Settle
ment in order to avoid any complica-
tions with the foreign powers.
Nobody can say however what they
might do when they see large Japa-
neSe force being landed under the pre-
text Of defending the foreigners in
Shanghai, foreigners whose life and
property has never once been threat
ened by the Chinese since the outbreak
of hostilities in that port.
Leave Colony at Own Risk.
In any case. according to official re-
ports from Shanghai, the japanese con-
sui general and the commander in chief
have been notified by settlement au-
thoritieS that while there can be no
legal objection to their landing forces
it must be well understood these forces
can be tolerated in Shanghai only as
the other troops: that is to say; they
must remain within the zone of the
settlement for the exclusive purpose OF
defending their nationals against a
Chinese attack.
Should the japanese decide to move
outside the International Settlement
they must do so on their own risk and
responsibility because they will not be
permitted to re-enter the city with
their arms in case they are defeated
by the Chinese.
1t is stated this has been made quite
plain to the japanese leaders, who have
been informed that in case Of a re-
verse the japanese troops will have to
be diSarmod before re-entering the

A friend who had been out Kensing-

folk insist on a name instantly, any
hesitation being taken for incompetence.
After looking at the lovely blue petals
for a moment, suddenly saw the name
of the plant in my minds eye in my old
botany manual-the first copy I ever
owned (now dog-eared ruin, but still
dear to me)-there on the top of left
hand page "Polemonium reptans." Or
in plain English, Greek Valerian, some
times (and more wisely, think called
Jacobs Ladder According to the
Smithsoniap's fine book on the District
flowers, this beautiful little plant is
rare here, growing only in a few spots
on the slopes of the Potomac gorges, in
Rock Greek Park, at Woodside and
Kensington.
Jacobs Ladder is so called from the
ladderlike effect of the leaflets on the
compound leaf. The simile is far
fetched, but why it should be called
Greek Valerian is beyond me, since it
Is neither Greek nor valerian. How
ever, the name is pretty, If you prefer
to use it. but not SO pretty as the
flower, which looks rather like half
creeping sky-blue phlox.
Indeed. phlox belongs to the Pole
monium family. I have written already
Of the beautiful Phlox subulata, which
bloomed last February and in March,
too. 1t Is too early for the beautiful
blue Divaricata phlox. which is wild
along the Potomac banks and treasured
In many Washington gardens, but it

its best in America and takes the place

which is so common in Europe. l like
the phlox family better, since it doesn't
run to burs like the borages And love-
hest Of the family is our Jacobs Ladder.
Up In the Maryland hills there is one
other species of Jacobs Ladder, called
Van Brunt's Polemonium, which is even
rarer than our local species. I once
searched the Connecticut hills in vain
for 1t for three days, in the country
around Danbury, where it is said to
grow, but all I got was a blister on each

again, this time around Harpers Ferry,

The Duck.
A IL domesticated ducks trace
~ their ancestry back to the good
"A old days when they swan the
4 4 waters gay and free. That was
centuries before Christ. Wild
ducks, when introduced into the farm
ponds, have become so domestlcateo
that only a few of them return 10
former haunts.
Today the duck industry has become
a very profitable one. Children on
farms often have their own flock of
ducks. 1t has proved to be lesson OF
great value to them. They have hao
responsibility, understood the necessity
for regular hours in feeding and caring
for their flocks, realized that cleanliness
was essential and enjoyed the feeling
of ownership Early, one learns tnat
the little "quack. quack," must be ten
derly cared for, If it is to return falr
amount of money for labor. II one IS
fortunate enough to belong to the All
Club. competition adds zest to the
undertaking.
Ducks have very hearty appetites.
They eat almost anything set before
them. They are not easily attacked
by disease and when one becomes SICK
he does not linger. Baby ducks are
not sun worshipers and shade must be
provided for them. Fresh water is
needed in abundance, and as their giz-
yards were given them for special
purpose, they must be supplied with
sand and oyster shell for exercise.
Early in his experience, the owner
will realize that his ducks are shy and
easily frightened. They do not make
pets as easily as chickens, but they soon
learn to know their masters voice.
When one becomes frightened he COM
municates his distress to the whole
flock Fear causes them to lose flesh
rapidly.
The Rouen duck is the favorite. In
olden days, it was known as the Roam
also Rhone, and these are the Oldest
varieties, no doubt. The Rouen district
was on the banks of the Seine, and
there these ducks were familiar in 1870
When the ducklings are young, it is
difficult to tell which is which. Soon
the males are known by their shrin
voices. and the females. contrary to
expectations, have very coarse. mascu-
line voices. When they all "toot"
together they sound alike.
A mother duck will hatch out her
ducklings and then lead them into all
sorts of danger. 1t is for this reason
