BEECHAM'S LAXATIVE LIVER BILE PILLS Sole Canadian Distributors RIGO AGENCIES TORONTO and MONTREAL 60 Colonies May Be Hitler's "Surprise Reported He May Tell Germany Next Sunday of Return By WADE WERNER Associated Press Foreign Staff BERLIN'- Jittery Europe is facing its third consecutive "Hitler week-end." The Fuehrer, weighing events of a feverish fortnight, maintained secrecy today on the message he will have for the world in his speech to the Reichstag next Sunday. Official silence likewise surrounded results of Hitler's talk Saturday with Kurt von nigg, "Austria's chancellor at Berchtesgaden, Bavaria.
There were reports in diplomatic circles his big surprise for the German people Sunday will be return of part of Germany's pre-war colonies. It was said Great Britain and Germany were negotiating on an important colonial concession for the Reich, but the report could not be substantiated in any way. One of the conditions to any such deal, it was said, would be a clarification of Germany's relations with Austria, "assuring, against any sudden aggression in that sector. DUCE FAVORABLE Premier Mussolini of Italy, said to have urged the Schuschnigg Hitler meeting, was de. scribed as favorable to a settlement by- -which Hitler would get colonies and Italy would get British recognition of the conquest of Ethiopia.
There were indications that Hitler and Mussolini were working together to reach a lasting solution of the Austrian question, stumbling block in otherwise pleasant German-Italian friend. ship. ler's meeting with Von SchuschThe weekend surprise of Hit nigg, coming after the previous week surprise of the army and cabinet shake-up, stirred the German public. But today's morning papers carried just one line of fresh information about the Austrian Chancellor--that he had returned safely to Vienna. An Associated Press dispatch from London Sunday said it was felt Hitler wanted to be able to say, when the talks with Britain start: have settled the Austrian question with Von Schuschnigg; let's get on to other things." Removal of German ambitions to control Austria was known to be a prime consideration of Britain and France in any general settlement.
Hitler's sweeping reorganization of the German government, February 4, was understood erally to have aroused concern at the last British cabinet meeting. This, it was reported, the form of a movement for immediate settlement of all outstanding questions with Hitler and Mussolini. Mr. Eden was understood to have stood firm for a common front with France, eventually of; fering Germany colonial outlets and Italy credits- -it the two dic. tatorships would put up political collateral as a guarantee of good behavior.

These are known as friendship cards.
The others are sweetheart cards. According to the legend of Val entine's Day a Roman emperor who was waging war with the whole world, to further his aims, issued an edict forbidding all marriages and engagements. He wanted men to fight, not to love. However, a priest named Valentine, who despised this law, married the young couples in his church. The emperor upon hear ing of this cast Valentine into a dark dungeon, where he later died The truth about Valentine's Day, however, is that, it is the festival of a Christian Martyr named Valentine, who lived in the reign of Claudius (Gothicus).
There is no proof to show he married anyone against the will of the emperor. Its association with love dates back to a pagan festival which fell on the same day.

REPORTS OF BRITISH CABINET SPLIT DENIED (Continued from Page 1) MYTH REPORTED The Daily Herald said: "A myth is being built up that there is a new conflict between a stubborn and headstrong foreign secretary has not the confidence and support of the cabinet and may at any moment be repudiated by the Prime Minister, the obvious result in the hands are weakened. It seems clear enough there is a manoeuvre afoot either to sabotage the whole negotiation or to extract from it results more acceptable to diehard Fascism." The Sunday Express, independent, and News Liberal, featured reports of a split, but the Sunday Times, independent, denied "on the highest authority" that any such situation existed.
The heading over the front page story said: "Eden Must Not Go!" The newspaper asserted the Berlin and Rome governments were scheming to manoeuvre the young Foreign Secretary out of the cabinet. EDEN'S STATEMENT Mr. Eden himself speaking at Birmingham Saturday, said that although it might "disappoint some newspapers," he and the Prime Minister had worked in "close contact." 0. 0.

MANY FRIENDS McIntyre's friendships ran through all classes and types of people Broadway's great, the big city's ordinary people, each alike claimed his attention. He lived much alone in recent years, doing his work in his richly-furnished apartment, aided in great measure by his wife, the former Maybelle Hope Small of Gallipolis, Ohio. Next Friday, which would have been McIntyre's birthday, also would have been his 30th wedding anniversary. The first man to write a syndicated New York column, forerunner of the many present Broadway gossip writers, McIntyre began his newspaper career on the Gallipolis Journal in 1902. "The "big town" lure finally brought him to New York as associate editor of Hampton's Magazine in 1912.
In a few months he had started the brisk-phrased jottings on the Gotham scene under the byline O. O. McIntyre which brought him fame and fortune as one of the highest paid newspaper writers in the world. The sledding was hard at first. McIntyre began the column as a press agent "blurb" for a New York hotel in return for his room and board.
'Aid China Week" Urged By Angell International Conference in London Advocates Boycott of Japan LONDON (CP)- -Sir Norman Angell, Nobel Peace Prize winner, today urged an "Aid China Week" to marshal world-wide opinion against Japan's campaign in China. At an "international conference" aimed to strengthen a boycott of Japanese goods, Sir Norman suggested poster parades, picketing and newspaper pledge schemes to enlist boycott supporters. A. A. MacLeod of Toronto, president of the Canadian League for Peace and Democracy, said objections to a boycott-that it would starve Japanese and impose a burden on the poorest classes in the boycotting countries- would be outweighed by what was achieved.
Government action would follow if a boycott was sufficiently widespread, he declared in presenting the report of the propaganda commission. VISCOUNT CECIL SPEAKS A second Nobel Peace Prize winner, Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, declared "our purpose is to stop the war in China and insist on the withdrawal of all Japanese forces. "If we don't succeed, we desire citizens of all countries here to clear themselves of complicity in the Japanese crime." The technical section of the conference recommended appointment of permanent commissions in all countries to consider means of effecting the boycott. It pointed out that the United States and the Netherlands supply 80 per cent of Japanese oil supplies. BIG SINGAPORE DRYDOCK OPENED; CROWDS LOOK ON (Continued from Page 1) incides with the ceremony and whose nation is so closely akin to our own in its aspirations and ideals." "We of the Empire have stood by one another in bad times and good," he said.
"We mean to support one another in the future as we have in the past." The naval base stands on the north side of Singapore Island, dominating the Straits of Johore. Beside Sir Shenton Thomas aboard the yacht Sea Belle II was the Sultan of Johore, who contributed £500,000 ($2,510,000) in 1935 to help completion of the base. "The British Empire," Sir Shenton said, "is one of the most potent influences for civilization that history has ever known. It needs one thing that it should be strong." A crowd of 11,000 had gathered for the ceremonies. Squadrons of Royal Air Force planes flew in formation over the harbor which glittered with rows of gaily beflagged ships.
PLAQUE UNVEILED Before naming the dock Sir Shenton unveiled a plaque commemorating the occasion. Beside him were the repersentatives of Australia, New Zealand, India, Ceylon, Hongkong, Sarawak, Borneo, the United States, France and the Netherlands, as well as high officers of the British navy, the army, and the Royal Air Force. Also present were the 4,500 native workmen who were employed on the base, construction of which was begun in 1923, abandoned by the Labor government in 1924, and resumed in 1925. PROVIDING FOR FUTURE The drydock is world's largest naval dock and is second only in size to that built at Southhampton for the liner Queen Mary. It can accommodate the largest warships afloat and, according to the official program, is "designed to provide for the growth in size of his Majesty's ships for many years to come." There is also a large floating dock which was towed out from England years ago.
GREAT GUNS IN PLACE Defences include hidden batteries of heavy guns, ranging up to 18 inches in calibre, machinegun redoubts, anti-aircraft batteries, airdromes and flying boat stations. At Changi, eastern end of the island facing Borneo and the Pacific, longrange batteries defend the approach to Singapore and the Johore Straits. The 18-inch guns are said to be the largest and most powerful in the world with a range of 40 to 50 miles, firing shells weighing 3,000 pounds. To the east of the naval base is a military air field with a capacity of several hundred planes. Many school children still write on slates; for the leading slate pencil country, Thuringia, turned out 189,000,000 slate pencils in six months of 1937.

Tatarescu Is Expected to Return as Premier BUCHAREST -The Roumanian government was reported today on the verge of another swift reorganization providing for a crown council to outline broad national policies.
Dr. Miron Cristea, Patriarch of the Roumanian Orthodox Church and key man of the new government which evolved from last week's shake up, will preside over this powerful crown council, according to unverified reports. (Reports the cabinet had already resigned were denied officially.) Ex-Premier Georges Tatarescu was favored to replace Cristea as Premier, in charge of administration details. (It was the cabinet of Tatarescu, Liberal, which gave way a short time ago when Goga became Premier.) As no change from the present course of Dr. Cristea was foreseen, spreading reports of the impending reorganization caused no nervousness.
Meanwhile, Octavian Goga, whose government was dissolved anti-Semitic former Premier last week by King Carol to make way for the Cristea regime, departed with his wife for Switzerland for treatment of heart and circulatory ailments. Goga suffered a heart attack Saturday. It was learned a commission is planning a new constitution to replace the one suspended by King Carol.
