Senator Couzens, of Michigan,
a candidate for denomination in
the Republican primary this
month, has given the Republican
voters of his state notice that he
will support President Roosevelt
for reelection. His action empha-
sizes the shifting party affilia-
tons OF many prominent persons
this year. Quite a few Democrats
have come out openly for Cover
nor Landon but none holds the
public position or probable poll
teal influence OF Senator Cou-
zens. He is man of great
wealth, largely acquired through
a fortunate investment in the
Ford Motor Company.

During the depression, home
building dropped from the S40,-

1888. Factory and commercial
building dropped to seventeen

public building, despite the Gov

to forty-three per cent of its 1929

that high level Of private build

ter, no one knows, but they have
been far South; and now, driven
by mysterious instinct, they are
returning to their breeding grounds
in the North. And with them
travels the Alaskan patrol Of the
United States Coast Guard, to
safeguard them from marauders.
The Government stepped in
just in time to save the seal from
extinction. Only 100000 were left
in 1911, out Of many millions in
1870. Piracy. battles and inter-
national disputes marked the
rivalry of the American, British,
Russian and Canadian fur hunt
ers, while the cruel and wanton
defamation Of the herds went on.
But Uncle Sam, in 1911, stopped
all this. He took the seal under
his protection and has seen to it
since that he goes unmolested up
and down the Pacific. And the
result has been that his number
has increased almost tenfold.

CONSTANT PERILS
The herds of seals have already
gone to feast upon millions of
cod on the Grand Banks. It is
also the breeding season on the ice
floeS off the Labrador coast, and,
too, the killing season for the
seaIers. The young are the rich
prizes, because of the thick layer
of pure white fat which Is found
under their hides.
The North Atlantic seal has no
fur value. He Is hunted for the
leather tannery and not to adorn
shop window or a lady's back.
Sometimes the seal hunters who
take to the ice floes do not get to
their ships. In the crew of the
Greenland, 48 men were frozen
to death in blizzard in 1898.

In the heart of the town is Leo

skirts Of the town is Marie-Hen-

Westende, some eight miles from
OStend, is just about the most eX-
elusive Of all the resorts along the
Belgian coast. Quite aloof from
the crowds, it caters to wealthy
families, the majority of which
return each year, either to the
splendid hotel or to their own
luxurious villas.
La Panne is the seaShore resort
nearest to the French frontier and
is a new development with hotels,
villas and pensions all shiny and
new. Ia Panne is surrounded by
the most beautiful dunes along the
whole coast Roaming along the
dunes is delight.
BEAUTIFUL DUNES
The eye roves from the snowy
whiteness Of the soft dunes to the
great, billowy expanses where
trees have taken root and woods
offer shade from the summer sun.
Most of the resorts that we have
mentioned are connected by fine
stone promenade, Is yards wide,
along which are built the best
hotels and most attractive villas.
The long stretch between OS-
tend and Westende is always
charming and gay with interna-
tional visitors sauntering in and
out OF de luxe hotels and equally
smart shops and cafes. It is an
interesting slice of European life,
and one that is well worth
knowing.

Cause for Thanks

Washington has genuine cause for thanksgiving that
more persons were not killed injured in the panic
which followed the striking of the circus tents by the
storm Monday afternoon.
Wild panic seized most of the thousands who were
gathered in the big tent when the poles began to swing
loose and holes began to appear in the canvas top
1T WAS ADMITTEDLY, A TERRIFYING MOMENT,
BUT THE TERROR AND THE DANGER WERE FUR
THEIR INCREASED BY THE ATTEMPTS OF THE
GREAT MASS TO GET OUT OF THE ONE OR TWO
EXITS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
This same destruction of sefcontro and lack of
seem be found wherever large crowd gathered and
is subjected to danger.
It is thing uncomfortable and when it is evil
dent nothing can stop it.
The policemen and firemen duty at the circus and
many of the shows attendants performed valiant service
in trying to calm the spectators.
Probably it is because of their efforts that only one
child was killed and comparatively few injured.
District officials have started investigation into the
incident
Probably some helpful suggestions will come from the
investigation to those who in the future want
to enjoy similar presentations
The thought readily occurs that additional exits
should be provided in different parts of the big tent
LikeUise the thought occurs that the stakes to
lUich the tent poles tied should be pierced by
heaUy bolts lUhich lUOuLd prevent the ropes from
lifting off the stakes lUten Wind lifts the top Of
the tent.
No discussion of the affair would be complete without
a word of praise and commentator to those who live
in the vicinity of the circus grounds.

THEMSELVES RECEIVED INTO THEIR HOMES

Under this clause the first Con-

NORTH SEA

NOH1d SEA
Tourists who once get to know
the Belgian coast are tempted
to visit it again and again.
The charm Of the North Sea
with it's many color schemes, its
picturesque fishing craft, its
pretty dunes, its golden sands
and lovely shore towns make
this coast especially nice for
family groups.
The temperature along the
Belgian coast is always mild,
even in winter, but it is the sum
mer that constitutes the big
season. Then the beaches at
Ostend, La Panne, Westende and
Blankenberghe are black with
happy holiday crowds.
BEST KNOWN
Ostend, the summer residence
of the royal family of Belgium,
is the best known of all the
Belgian coast resorts and one of
the most renowned in all Europe.
Usually it plays host to over
10000 visitors during the
season, which is from May to
October. And no wonder, for
Ostend is a town Of gaiety, OF
joy and laughter.
It boasts a really marvellous
beach, three miles of golden sands
unmarried by even a pebble. AT
night the brilliantly-lighted kurSaal
with it's gaming rooms, its mag.
nificent concert hall and its res
taurants and cafes is the mecca
for every visitor.
The thermal establishment for
Ostend is a spa as we'll as a sea,
shore resort, having de luxe hotels
and fine shops.

their way from the balmy waters
of the tropics to their rendezvous
in Boring Sea.
Along the 3,000-mile highway Of
the sea, the Coast Guard is their
close protector.
SELECTED MALES
Once on the rocks of Pribi1off,
the giant bull seals will set up
their homes and jealousy guard
their harems. The pups will be
born, fed and reared, and in the
fall the herds will head back for
the South.
All but $4,000 of them, selected
from the three-year-old males and
the young bachelor class. Uncle
Sam marks these $4,000 out and
hires 800 Aleut tribesmen to kill
them and turn them into million
dollars worth of furS.
But all the hardship and adven-
ture and desperate chances of seal
hunting are as nothing compared
to the marvellous epic of the seal
himself, the story of how his in
stinct carries him up and down
the world in his seasons, from
Pole to Pole, but returning al
ways to the same nurseries, as
certain as the stars in their
courses, one of the enthralling
mysteries of the life the Creator
gave this world.
