GOVERNMENT OVER FRANCE T0 CONTINUE Premier’s Proposal for Na- tional Union Cabinet Is Rejected PARIS, Feb. 24.—French cal parties have rejected the posal of Premier Chautemps t his regime be replaced by a Nation- al Union Government. The Premicr has resolved to ¢ on his pres- politi- pro- ent Radical Sof Governiment The Premier, in making his pro- posal, said he was convinced France's economic, social and diplo- matic troubles had reached a point where they should be handled by a Cabinet representing all political parties.

They cannot get along with civ- ilized bath tubs. They cannot get along together, for Oscar mean to Minnie. Maybe it is spring ir "the air. Minnie and Oscar are Lwo trout, about eight inches long who have been living in a running water aguarium in the Alex Holden household sink. Liltle Sandy Hold- 2n brought them in last summer from a Douglas Island stream and Alex and Lorraine Holden nursed the finny couple to strength and contentment They couldn’t be sure about the sex, but Oscar was bigger so he was made man of the family. Minnie appeared dccile and sweet. She was mamma. With painstaking care, Lorraine Holden watched both her charge: grow. She taught them to rise to the surface and take food from Tingers, and she picked them up frem the floor and scraped them cut from under the refrigerator when they leaped over the edge of the sink. It seems sad that the parting has come. Oscar, a young Dolly Varden, has displayed the cannibal proclivities of his specy and is bit- ing mountain trout Minnie more than often. Minnie, not very well, today is paddling in the vast reaches of the bathtub. Oscar is glowering in the little sink aquarium when he isn't flopping on the floor So Minnie and Oscar, because they cannot get along, will go back to their native haunts — neither Lorraine nor Alex have the heart to eat them, even if Sandy would permit it. Strike up the funeral band again. Play the saddest chords. Minnie and Oscar are heading for the last roundup in the civilized world of sinks and bathtubs. e MRS. HUGH WADE ENTERTAINS FOR MRS. W.

During the stay, unveil the Australian national war memorial at Villers-Bretonneux. Plans for the trip were arrang- ed carefully before the announce- ment was made and speculation arose immediately whether the king and queen might be embarrassed because of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor who just have moved into a villa outside the French capital. If the Windsors remain there, the royal visit will bring the broth- ers within easy access of each other for the first time since Ed- ward's abdication in 1936 and the accession of King George. Well informed quarters said it was highly probable that arrange- ments had been made in advance for the Windsors to be absent from France while that nation was pay- ing homage to the British rulers. King George and Queen Eliza- beth have ignored the Windsors— at least publicly—since the wedding last June and it was considered improbable that they would meet while the king and queen wese surrounded with the pomp of a state visit. ————————— CANINE APARTMENT HOUSE the king will TP 'MANY ARE PRESENT AT TRINITY GUILD PUBLIC CARD PARTY Despite last night's heavy rain- fall, a large crowd assembled for the public card party of the Trinity Guild which was marked by bridge, pinochle and one table of whist.
