1t would not be possible to describe this Empire Exhibition, The whole Exhibition is beautifully and artistic cally laid out. Bellahouston Park lends itself admirably to this kind of thing. The exhibits are par excellence. They reveal originality, good taste, attraction and balance. It no wonder therefore that they are crowded and people entering have to queue up. There were complaints soon after the Exhibition opened that the catering arrangements were inadequate, That might have been, the case of the opening day but it is certainly not so today Naturally some of the places are more crowded than others, but there are ample facilities for feeding the hungry masses going to see the sights at our wonderful and marvellous Exhibition.
The Celebrity Concerts are not the attraction the authorities thought they would be. That is easily explained when it is realized that folks are not as a rule anxious to attend e celebrity concert when they have so much to see as this Exhibition presents, Celebrity Concerts can be indulged in at all times of the year. They are not peculiar to Exhibitions and the somewhat heavy charges for admission have unquestionably adversely affected the attendances, It would be invidious to single out any of the wonderful exhibits for special mention. They are all entitled to distinction and as far as one has been able to ascertain when in the Exhibition Grounds they are all being equally patronised. All over Scotland arrangements are being made to bring school children and each day large numbers of them are to be seen there, trailing round the grounds and through the Exhibits.
What they appear to like most of all though is the attractive Amusement Park. This is an endless source of amusement to old and young.
It must not be thought though that while to a large extent people live and move and have their being cen-fred around the Empire Exhibition that they take little or no interest in anything else. We do. The unique, massive, beautiful vessel the Queen Elizabeth is more and more coming into being and these days numbers of pleasure-seekers go for trips, "down the water" to see her taking shape to the extent she has. The vessel has had its first coat of paint. She looks most impressive on the stocks, with her huge hulk showing. One is left wondering how it is going to be possible to launch such a colossal mass. People wondered the same thing about the Queen "Mary but it was successfully done and it will be the same with this unique ship. What a proud day it will be for Clydebank when the Queen launches her and what a prender day still when she sets out on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic.
Scheme to Bring Rel To Jewish Refugees It was a new Eddie Cantor who arrived in London—not the one you know on the screen, according to the "Daily Sketch,"
He was a man ready to sacrifice wealth for an ideal.
His brown eyes were serious and his face was almost grim.
"I have come here to push forward with all my power my scheme for the relief of European Jewish refugees" he explained earnestly.
"I am ready to sacrifice my fortune if I can bring relief to these unfortunate people, "Already I have raised £30,000 to help refugees from Germany, Austria and Poland to Palestine, It is my earnest hope that during the sixteen days I am in England I shall be able to raise another £20,000.
"That would mean that 300 refugee children could be rescued.
He smoothed back his greying hair as he explained his campaign—it would take him to Birmingham, Leeds, anchesier and other cities.
Suddenly he changed and—well, here is the Eddie Cantor you know, Those eyes rolled dolefully, those eyebrows started working full at speed.
Pee was raining when I left here three years ago," he said. "I see it hasn't stopped yet.
"ott's true I'm staying only 16 days. Yes, I know we've brought 28 trunks, And 28 of these are my wife's.
"She lets me have a corner of one of em for my shaving tackle, though.
Eddie brought down the house at the Palladium—as a member of the audience. 3 'A spotlight was switched on to his box, and in a little speech he said how glad he was to hear the laughter and'the humour in the theatre.
"Say, folks," he said, "while you retain that sense of humour nobody in all this world can ever lick you."
There have been one or two serious bus accidents of late in the city.
When it is realized how enormous is the amount of trafic on the streets today the marvel is that there are not more of these unfortunate occurrences. Roads were never made for the amount of traffic on them and while speed limits are adhered to, Accidents do occur from time to time with fatal results.
