Thornycroft & Co., Ltd.. and it was announced in Fleet Or jders on June 28. 1929, that the Ca nadian Government had chosen the names of Saguenay and Skee- na for these vessels. The destroyers are due for delivery in the spring of 1931, and will embody special features to make them suitable for special duty in Canadian waters. They will have a tonnage, of 1,320, a speed 6f 35 knots, and a length of 310 feet. "Commodjore Walter Hose, OJ3.E., R.C.N., Chief of the Naval Staff of Canada, visited England in connection with the placing of this (contract, and at a luncheon at which he was entertained by the British Empire League, he reviewed the progress of the Canadian Navy. The ordering of two destroyers he referred to as marking a new development in what was perhaps the smallest navy in the Empire. The Canadian Naval Service had passed through many vicissitudes and difficulties since its conception in 1908, when the Canadian Parliament by an unanimous vote resolved that Canada should take a greater share in the defence of her maritime interests by the creation of a Canadian Navy. As a re sult, Canada in 1911 purchased two old cruisers from the British Navy, the Nlobe and Rainbow. Two stools or schools of policy arose, and be tween them the Canadian Navy fell to the ground, but happily there was continued the Naval College, which passed Its students into the Royal Navy. When the war came. the whole effort of Canada was put Into her military contingents; nevertheless, the Nlobe and Rainbow were brought out again, and tor two and a half years did valuable service In the patrol work carried on by the Royal Navy. "In 1920, It was decided to make a fresh start to form a Canadian Navy, and ships were placed in commission; but In 1921 there was another chanije due to the reconstruction of national policy, which imposed drastic economy, the estimates, being reduced from two and a half million to one and a half million dollars. In conformity with the policy stated by the Canadian P;ime Minister at the Imperial Conference In 1920, the personnel of the present Canadian Navy had been transformed from 450 officers and men, borrowed or specially engaged from Qreat Britain, and 50 Canadians; to 40 borrowed ranks and ratings and 670 Canadians The Royal Canadian Navy Volun teer Reserve had been organized and was up to its full authorised strength of 1,000, officers and men. There was also a Royal Canadian Reserve of 200 officers and men Commodore Hose concluded his survey by remarking that the na val training centres at Esquimau and Halifax were sufficiently equipped to train the personnel of the permanent and reserve forces." Union freighter Chilliwack, Capt. John Mulr, arrived in port at 2:30 this jnornlng from the south with cargo for discharge locally.

Nowadays, people take Aspirin for many little aches and pains, and a often as they encounter any pain. Why not! It Is a proven antidote for pain. It works! And Aspirin tablets are absolutely harmless. You have the medical profession's word for that; they do not depress the heart. So, don't let a cold "run its course."
