This proposed union of the United States and Canada is turned down by Canada with the announcement that it prefers to remain under the British flag Of course, it might be nice to have United States that would include the do- ninion, but we're doing pretty well now with what we have, so why try to bite off any more than we can't possibly handle.

Selected Poem
THE DANCING LESSON

Eleanor Baldwin in the Christian Science Monito Into the ballroom poured the sun; The floor was smoth as amber water; And I-I was the favored one; was the dancing teachers daughter. Oh, there was something proud and sweet About my mothers archng feet, As if 8 doe stepped down to drink Of silver at a rivers brink!
 We gathered shyy in row; Spellbound we followed where she led, With slide and slide with pointing toe Enchanted by her chestnut head Her skirt was like the lifted wing Of the red cardinal from the south, While youth and gaiety and spring Trembled to laughter at her mouth. The other mothers. stiff with care Sighed at a sash which tra:led undone Fastened & lock of childish hair My mother was the dancing one

Townsend Probe

Townsend leaders are delighted at the Congressional Committees drive to finish its investigation next month. This would leave un- touched a vast quantity of ma- terial which the committees pri- vate investigators have only be- gun to uncover .. More sensa- tional than the testimony of Dr. Townsend will be the revelations of past enterprises of Edward J. Margott, successor to "co-founder" Clements as political boss of the Townsend movement Anti lynching legislation is about to make the headlines again. A House bill is being considered in demo- cratic caucus, which may bring 1t to the floor. Latest New Deal suggestion for a way to avoid 6u- preme Court vetoes is to effect regulation through use of the treaty power. Just as congress got control of migratory birds through @ treaty with Canada and Mexico, 1t could stretch Q point and control coal production through Q treaty with another coal producing country.

 The managers are planning @ monster political rally as the con- cluding feature of the convention, with the nominee as the big at traction. Landon is very chilly, however, to the idea of putting in 8 personal appearance.

Diplomatic circles secretly are seething over the Colombian pro- posal for an American League of Nations. The plan has been care- fully worked out by President Lo- peg, calls for definition of an ag- gressor nation, sanctions against an aggressor, annual assemblies in different American capitals, co- operation with Geneva. Under this plan the Monroe Doctrine would end because Article 21 of the Geneva Covenant, which makes Q special reservation regarding the Monroe Doctrine, would be abolished Because of a mix up at Rural Resettlement head quarters in Washington, checks for payment of contractors on the Hightstown, N.

Henry .. He0nel0 or HarUOruS who received Q silver medal for his collection of general issues of revenue stamps.
 A quick survey at the close of the Third International Phila. . telic Exhibition, held at the Grand Central Palace, New York, N. r., from May 9th to 17th, inclusive, showed that all records for Q stamp show had been broken.
 It was estimated that nearly 100000 collectors had entered the show during its duration, and the receipts at the box of- flee were many times that of any previous show.
 Each morning, thousands of children from the New York public schools came to the ex- hibition, in charge of teachers, as the board of education per- mitted them to do this, due to the educational and recreational advantages of stamp collecting. Large delegations came from all surrounding cities, and without exception they all expressed themselves as tremendously ir1l- pressed.
 The extent of the show can best be realized by the fact that one would have to walk six miles i'm order to sec all of the frames. The frames contained about 0O,OOO sheets of stamps, with between two and . half million and three million stamps m0unt- cd upon them. Two of the most popular exhibits at the show were the press Of the Bureau of Engraving Q Printing, and the transfer press and engraver of the American Bank Note company.
 During the entire period of the show, the 1H windows of the branch post office, which was set up in the building, had long lines of buyers before them. We'll over one million of tho small souvenir panes were sold, as we'll aS an additional million of other commemorative stamps. The total receipts were apprOxi- mately $25O,OOO, which more than triples the record of $76,0OO set at the show i'm Rockefeller Center. So great was the sale of the general COTnmem0ratives that it is almost certain that some of them will very soon be withdrawn from sale at the Phil- atelic Agency
 Dealers in practically all cases reported themselves as extreme Iy we'll satisfied with the volume of business that was done. The only dealers who apparently did not do Q large business were those that handled only cheap sets. This was we'll exempllhed by one dealer who had on dis play sets valued at loo to $1.0O and found that they were mov- ing slowly. He then changed his display to stamps selling at sSO and up and disposed of prac- ticalIy sll that he had in short order.
 It is very doubtful if Q show on such . large scale will ever akain be attempted, but plans are already under way for other shows devoted to specialized groups.
