WINDSOR. England, April 22.-All
dressed up with thousands of miles
to go, King George and Queen Eliza
beth are sure to have the roast beef
and Yorkshire pudding of old Eng
land on their trip next month to
the United States and Canada.
While experts began the job of
packing the Queens extensive ward
robe at Buckingham Palace in Lon
don, Rene Roussin. the court chef,
started teaching the cooks of the
battle cruiser Repulse how to pre-
pare the simple dishes the King
and Queen like.
Roussin gave the naval cooks and
stewards a workout in Windsor
Castle on sample menus. The King
likes an early breakfast-at 7:30-
and a three-course luncheon. He
prefers plain food such as hot joints
with cabbage and potatoes.
The most difficult task for the
packers was the boxing of the deli
cate crinoline style gowns ordered
by the Queen for the tour, which
will begin with the sailing of the
Repulse from Portsmouth May 6.
These are among her majesty's
favorites. They are tulles and satins,
mostly white. Some are richly en-
broidered in gold and others in sill
yer. All skirts for evening just
touch the ground.

sent to the choir school in Vienna
the fullness of his working dav
there was balanced by the emptiness
OF his stomach. Yet he scraped to-
gether enough to buy two second
hand books on harmony, since no.
BODY undertook to teach him any.
Haydns 80 years with the Ester
hays, his choicest patrons, were
ideal. He passed his summers on
their country estate. winters in
Vienna, with festivals galore for
which he composed and conducted
one program after another. Six
f1ne symphonies, six of his string
quartets and an oratorio date from
these serene years.
The list of the Loaf compositions
of Haydn includes 1O4 symphonies,
l6 overtures, 76 quartets. 68 trios,
54 sonatas. 81 concertos and a large
number of divertimentos, casa :
tlons and other instrumental pieces:
"a operas and dramatic pieces, 3
oratorios. more than 80 songs and
so canons and arrangements of
Scottish and Welsh national mel
odies.
In the development of instru-
mental polyphony Haydn's work was
almost as important as that of Mo-
zart. and as the first great master
of the quartet and the symphony

Construction of new air fields and
expansion of existing ones is high
on the list of defense activity. So

madam Associated Aircraft, Ltd. for
the purpose. A $1OOOO,OOO "educa-
tional order" from the United King
dom calls for 30 ships by next year.
And the purpose of educational"
orders is merely to get production
tuned up for a much bigger output.
But Canada's entrance into war,
or her economic support of England
IN one, is not the only possibility.
Circumstances are conceivable un-
der which Canada. rejecting United
States opinion, might hold England
back from war: or, failing that,
conclude that this was England's
war and none of Canada's concern.
In that event, an outstanding Ca
madam student of international
