[" guve DOURALE & 200 Publishers Peace at Last \u2018 T was an epoch in history when Mr.Herriot shook hands with Chancellor Marx at No.1§ Downing Street.It was the glory of Ramsay MacDonald's reign, however brief it may prove, for him to of- ficate as high priest at such a reconcliia- tion When Mr, Herriot was cheered as a conquering hero by a welcoming crowd on arriving at the Paris station, when his acts in England were immediately and unanimously approved by his own cabinet and then, not without much insensate booing from the Communists, ratified by a Jerge majority of the French parliament, one could not help fearing that such enthusf- astic approval must balk the adoption of the agreement by Germany.The Ger- mass, however, while naturally in less amiable mood, see too, clearly the hope- fessness involved in any breakdown of this agreement 30 laboriously come to, the best and last that could be hoped for to venturs om repudiating it.\u201d It is too common a notion between nations that what is good for one must be an injury to others, when precisely the opposite is the rule.Indeed France's exuberance and unanimity are in every way good signs for Germany.They commit France to the agreement.They prove how much France had longed for and needed a settlement.In fact the exaitation was not really over the terms of the treaty, but in the fact that it undertook to end a long and horrible chapter ia France's history.Germany would subconsciously gather from her own feelings of relief, mastering all other considerations, that such was the real cause-af the rejoicing in France.An- uther thing in which both governments asd doth can sympathize with each other fu the wild efforts of the com- wandsts of both dguntries, Iugibd by tv] Third Internatigne), to, prevent any set- Vemeut at all \u2018and thus bring civilisation crashing to the ground, crushing as whole generation under its ruins.In both cases this revolt is against a more or less socialist government.This should help to bring the mutually repellant nations into æcoord.It seems probable that this peril on the one hand so stormily exhibited, causing in Germany the adjournment o} the most important session the Reichstag had known, and on the other hand the kicking of the Nationalists, or as they would be called in England, the Die-hards, would make it very difficult for the German nation not to fall In with the agree ment as offered them \u2014 an agreement which would seem to them far more rea- scnable, if they had not been so persist ently fed on the only food their long cosseted national conceit could digest, a false view of the whole war.It is not likely even if these Die-hards could call the Hohenzollerns back as the English did the Stuarts, that, unless as then for a short orgy, the nation would ever again submit to the despotism of a great general staff.Things That Matter .T is the eye of à acer that discerns that the things that are seen are temporal, that it is the things that are un- sten that are stable, Mr.Herrlot, amid the plaudits he was recelving for his visible achievement in an agreement that assumed \u2018to be the end of strife, explained to the reporters that what had really been accomplished was the renewal of goodwill between the Allies and the \u201cmoral\u201d participation of the United States.The informality might be ignored as long as the spiritual fact was there.It Is he who ses things thet are invisible that can best forecast the future.If the forecasts of such prophets are sometimes premas- ture, they are none the less real.The promise of all the prophets of a day of mutual goodwill and mutual assistance are ever in process of fulfillment.We \"may accept then Mr.Herriot's assurance that we have now entered on a new path and that business will soon discover that there ls stability im Hurope.Mr.Logan, view of his own ambiguous mission.He ssys \u201cthe first International conference since the war has just been terminated.\u201d He forgets the preponderating part Woodrow Wilson took at Versailles, and how they slew him for it.It was met Wii.son's fault that this is the first permitted isternational conference.But Mr.Logan is specially thinking of the presence of the German Chancellor and of his evi dently honest anxiety to reach agreement.That was for the time being a greater event than even the return of the United States to her unquestionably great place among the nations.The Lure of War ND now that we seem to be in the highway of peace, all good angels whisper that it is ours to make it perpetual.A trumpet blast has Indeed gone forth through the churches denouncing war, as though war was itself an entity that could be exorcised and put to death, apart from the evil passions of which it is the expression.Up to a point that is true.War itself has a lure about it.The heroes of all history have won their glory by fighting.The records of the past are largely made up of war.Every boy is nursed in war.His heroes, David, who siew the giant and later took hideous vengeance on his foes, the three at Thermo- pyle, Horatius who held the bridge against twine thirty thousand, the patriot Tell, the Bruce of Bannockburn.\u201cWhat English heart was not on fire\u201d with Henry at Agin- court?Who in Italy stands beside Garibaldi?Nelson of Trafalgar, Wellington ot Waterloo, Washington, first in war, those uy the names that live with.the people.we be Christiens, still such Gaiahada as Havelock and Gordon blaze most \u2018brilliantly on our scroll of heroes.It is these and for the most part these \u2018(nly that appeal to man in his formative years.As physical prowess is neces sarily the primary requisite and first of virtues in primitive man; s0, as all men Jars through the stages that the race has pissed through, it is possibly natural to boyhood to glut itself with tales of soldier heroism.Those bave taken on a large contract who propose to eradicate this from the upbringing of another gen-] eration.To say this is to say that the Christendom of today has barely reached the foot of the stairs of the glorious palace of peace and goodwill whose doors are today thrown wide open, and that it will require a heavenly warfare .scale it; even the Christian life is presented te our warlike imaginations as a warfare for whose Leroisms we are bidden to exchange those of physical strife which we share with the brute creation.May this < palgn agaînat war result in the convers'cn of our educational aystem ts one that oxalts spiritual nobility and the achieve- L ents of sacrifice! The Mind of The Bgy \u201c RIVATE PEAT, a Canadian soldier, who went through the war, gavgat a Chautauqua coursa in Montreal the result of his mature sutdy of war as ft is.Since getting his discharge he had visited thirty-three nations to learn their mind about war.His conclusion was that war for the present 1s impossible as the nations know Its horror and rottenness, but that, under present influences, they would be again ripe for war in twenty years.It would not be a matter of economics but of psychology; that is, bent.The boys were all learning that their own country was heroic and in the right, therefore, others were In the wrong.Defeats were rever had in memory.In the thirty capitals ot the world I have visited in the past few years, the people all said the same thing, \u2018We want world peace\u2019.But [ believe I know why we cannot have it, .lt is because the chfMdrien of the nations do not want it: they never have wanted it at fhat age.Men are made between the ages of 6 \u2018he American \u201cObserver,\u201d takes the same and 18.The attitude of tbe average boy -of the ways.towards war and peace might be summed up in the words of à young American boy I recently talked to.\u201cOch! Who can got a kick out of peace!\u201d \u201d These boys are all alike; fine boys like our own.-Why should they be brought up to hate and kill each other?War to them is glory.So they bave been taught, not that it is tears, filth, wooden crosses, deterforation.The truth about war has vever been taught to any generation.\u2018What Is needed is a new \u2018»sychology.That ic the new phrase for a new heart.We need a total reversal of our way of looking -at things.There is nothing new about the idea of learning war no more.That has come down to us like a golden thread through two thousand years of strife.The challenge has come to this generation to put in practice the anxious study of the ¢ ways of peace.We wish the church Godspeed in its crusade against the idea of war especially in the school books.That is a negative quest.The positive thing to do is to take as large a view of man- Kind as is taken by the Father of all and teach men to love one another.Canada For Canadians E echo the slogan with which Mr.Meighen, special pleader for privilege, launches his campaign in that behalf.The difference between us is, who are the Canadians whom Canada is for?Are they the manufacturers who finance Mr.Meighen's party, including an increasing proportion of Americans who carry their profits southward?Canada for the manufacturers! They are few compared with the mass of our people, but in Mr.Mei- &heu's eyes they are of much account.Yes, Canada for the manufacturers.Take the very rails from the farm fences to keep the factory fires ablaze.Secure the protected ones in their profits, though every Loy and girl leaves the old farm and \u201cgoes ic the States.\u201d To replace these, spend on immigration schemes heaps of money, raulsed on necessary imports, to maintain the population ot the most richly endowed country on the globe.It is a good motto, Mr.Meighen, but somewhat misapplied.Get back, says Mr.Meighen, to the National policy of Sir John Macdonald.Is be not old enough to remember the weary years of \u201cexodus\u201d that Canada spent under that policy until the opening up of the jrairies saved her through their stored up wealth?Ot course, and of ne cessity, Mr.Melghen has to add to his platfarm protection for the farmers.Farmers are not above taking advantage ot their fellow-countrymen when they see « chance.The farmers of the American west were inveigled into a combination to saut out Canadian products.They showed what farmers can do politically when they try.But, unless on comparatively petty truck, the Fordney duties have only disappointed them.Our farmers, if they set their mind upon it, can deprive Cana- (ians of some earlier fruits and vegetables than Canada can profitably produce, but in doing so through protection they would vindicate the tariffs which work so heavily against them.The Parting of The Ways NOTHER true utterance of Mr.Meighen is that Canada is at the parting Again, the difference between us Is, which is the way that leads to destruction?Experience has condemned the one we have been trying.Wa have only to pursue it till there is no home market for either manufacturers or farmers.Through the grasping of privilege, the cost of living in this Eden of ours wouid soar till it drove our own sons and daughters out and turned the entire stream of overflow life of other lands elsawhere.It is sald that \u201cDog don't eat dog\u201d but in that day manufacturers would have to live on manufacturers, and we suspect they would tind it tough fare.Without a home market according to their own testimony they could not live.They could not maintain an export without am .lmport traffic.* CENTS, 0240 A YRAR MONTREAL WITNESS CANADIAN HOMESTEAD pm The Feople's Papay ° VOL.LXXIX.NO.35.MONTREAL, AUGUST 27, 1924, Of course the manufacturers do not wast Canadas to themselves.They want it full of ignorant, gullible and obliging people whom, through the wiles of their advocates they may exploit, through whose sweat they may become rich.But, even though the press is pretty well in harness, peuple are thinking today as they never did before.Even protected labo: has gone Lo that land where the freest of trade exists between forty-eight great states extending from one extreme of.climate te another and containing sll the necessaries of life and most luxuries, and among a hundred and fifteen million people.Sure ly in view of the quality of its people that Is the largest and most e tive free trade area anywhere.it is b of that, and in spite of her tariff walls, that the United States had prospered.With a view to stopping her ebbing lifeblood and to ensure infusion of new blood from without- Canada has decided to reverse the national policy.In future it is to be prosperity for the classes throtgh the prosperity of the masses.No privilege for any, but an equal chance for sll, so as to ensure the eurvival of the fi'teat.Surely even Mr.Meighen's clients must squirm a little when he goes the length of charging Mr.King with the s\u2018rangulation of agricul ture by forsaking \u201cthe natural principles of higher tariff,\u201d particularly as regards protection to the poor factories.And he turther accuses Mr.King of \u201cbartering Canada\u2019s manhood\u201d for the sake of holding on to power.Was it the \u201cartful aodger\u201d who, after picking the dear old gentleman's pocket led the hue and cry with \u201cStop thief!\u201d Looking at bis address from an absolutely disinterested point of view, every argument he offered, every name he hurled at his enemy, was in the nature of a boomerang sv throwa 2x to injure the thrower.The new order is for lower cost of living, attracting multitudes to Canada, and warranting cheaper labor, and therefore healthy.not invalid, {actories which can compete both here and abroad with outsiders, and Jarger home markets for our vegetable, fruit and milk producers, and more friendly relation with the world's markets for our meaté and grains.Canada is growing buoyunt in her new outlook, at the par'ing o: the ays.She has probably pretty well learned which to avoid.Flummery about Mr.King's bartering principles for come tinuance in power is meant for°the simple, I: this country it is the people who rule, and It is of the very essence of our constitution that ruling statesmen must beud to the will of the majority.There is, moreover, every reason to believe that Mr.King is moving in the direction that his own Judgment approves.Unemployment NEMPLOYMENT is, of course, to be the slogan of protection\u2019s fight for its failing privileges.It there is none it will have to be made.At all events it can be made in the papers.It can be daily portrayed in brilliant cartoons.Of course there is unemployment.There always is after a war, many, many shattered lives, some broken in body, some in health, some in spirit.It was terribly eo for a generation after Waterloo and the war waste then was inconsiderable compared with that of our generation.Canada has, however, only felt the brush of the tail of that cyclone, which the United States may be said to have hardly felt at ait, We must look for unemployment, too, when the best young blood is leaving the farms for the city, displacing the inefficient.For those who can work the land there is infinite room In Canada, it we did not make it so costly to start farming and then bleed them white with protection.We must look, too, for, some of the helpless of other countries to seep into ours, no matter how determinedly inhospitable we are to such.It is admit.led, too, that there always will be tempor ary hardship whem the cripple's crutches # taken from him, even though that may be for his good.- Still here is what our High Commissioner says, returning from the most eminent position for comparing facts.He is speaking of Canada as it is today; ruined as it is said to be by the withdrawal of duties: \u201cCanada,\u201d says Mr.Larkin, \u201cis less dependent than any other country in the world.No people i: the world are more prosperous.\u201d we Our High Commissioners N the late Lord Strathcona Canada had a= outstanding figure as High Commis sioner, and ose who entertained samptu- ously Canadians overseas and took an active part in y matters of great jm- portance to the Dominion.1a the Hon.P.C.Larkin she has a representative of equally outs'anding pressnce coupled with great organising power, and everyday seal omsness for the service of his country.Only men who do nothing make no mis- takes\u2014except the ome huge mistake of do img nothing.Mr.Larkin is rolling up a record of achievement as High Commis sioner and Privy Councillor, of which both he and his country may be proud.The tact as well as the skill which he has hreught to bgar on the reorganization of the Camadian offices in London, and the vastly increased sphere of service aad dignity with which he has invested the High- Commissionership, calle for the gratitude of his country.The Hritish Empire itself depends in no small degree on the men through whom it touches its component In the Honorable Mr.Larkin, with his broad sympathies, his fairmind- edness, his unquestioned integrity and loyalty, his gracious presemce, his very un usual business ability and ripe experiemce, Canada and the Empire have reason to congratulate themselves.Naval Advice N Admiral whose task is to interest the dominions in the Navy has, after the admonition given in the Canadian par Mament, a delieate task.According to one of our more independent members, he may Bot express any opinion as to when Ca sada ought to do.What is he to say when reporters buzz aroend him with Questions on that very subject?Suggest for a momen: that Canada ought to contribute to tbe British navy! The courtesies he has been receiving would turn to brimatone.Yet was that not in ante-war times Sir Robert Borden's view?A commonsense view from the standpoint of naval economy and effectivemess.But when two British statesmen came to Ca rada to study this question, the advice they left was that Canada should take steps to defend her.own ports with her OWA navy.That advice was probably political ra\u2018her then strategic.They ha¢ come Dot as maval experts to say how Canada\u2019s effort would is the abstract be most effective, but what advice it would be safe to give ber.The result was the Lurchase\u2019of a couple of cruisers of a ser Ticeable type to lle at both extremities of our continental country, in which to train young Cañnadians for what should follow.It wos upon this \u201ctin-pot navy\u201d that Sir Mobert's followers in the English-speaking provinces poured oblogquy on account of its inadequacy, and his followers in Quebec poured denunciation because it was a navy atail Thelr cry was \u201cpoint de marine!\u201d Do navy! They preached up and down the simple couniryside that Laurier was going to tear their sons from their firesides to cast away their lives in unknown seas.Between these two assaults, our naval defence was comdemned, and Sir Robert succeeding to power had in consistency to neglect the \u201ciin-pot\u201d navy, thus securing to his Bourassa followers \u201cpoint de marine\u201d for half a generation.Meantime it occurred to Sir Robert to declare Canada to be a self-contained nation, so that, though now more tham ever she finds herself without a naval policy, it is more difficult than ever 10 give her any hints, however gentle, as to her share in ! the burdens of the partnership.Neverthe less, speaking entirely as a priv.» per- som and wi\u2018fout in any way representing anybody, we are allowed to know that tn an admiral's private opinion it would be a great thing for Canada and a great thing tor tbe Empire, indeed for the world, see ing thut the solidarity of the empire is of such importance to the whole world, it Canada would take steps to protect her own see routes, which, in case of war, would be in the utmost peril, and which, since the naval reductions agreed to at Washington, the British navy is no longer adequate to defend.Canada's Navy ITHOUT entering on the question bow much of a naval armament the \u2018Washington treaty allows to the Commonwealth as a whole, no one can question the obviousness of the advice thus timidly ond respecifully ventured.It is mo ques ton wheiker war is good or bad War is sitogether bad.The question is what te MONTREAL WITNESS AND CAMAU AN do when it comes upon us.Be long as, whenever We have à difference with another power, we claim the support of Brit ain, we are bound in common self-respect te contribute to the power that backs us.Possibly the more insurance premiums we have to pay in the shape of naval de fence the greater will be our interest in xaking wars to cease unto the ends of the earth im all measures of mutual disar mament and in all approaches toward international good will.Wg 2ee amall difference whether we contribute toward the Royal Navy, with the understanding that our harbors and our commerce will be defended, or whether we maintain some per manent defence of our ows shores and maintain the same in condition for the most intimate cooperation with the Royal Navy, of which, being Ais Majesty's ships, it would be a part.Our own Minister of Defence, Mr.Macdonald, is not so tongue-tied as the English admiral, and bas given the reporters the Government's views.Their ambition Is \u2018a Canadian navy for Canada\u201d following the example of Australia.But that ambition, he says, must wait on Canadian public opinion.We have waited.Does the minister note any advance in public opinion?It is cae of those matters in which a nation necessarily looks to government for a lead and will pot stir without that.That lead he is now giving.He says the government is going to do its best to create à sont meat in favor of such a navy.The government indeed hopes that this visit of, the British squadron will create such à sen- tment as will enable it ip the future to spend money upon a Canadian navy, though, in view of the existing railway situation it cannot do so at present.In other words we, a self-sufficient nation, ate to hang on for some time longer to te apron string of the overtazed mother, who, as is the way with mothers, will not repine.The government's pre ference for a Canadian navy is for the same reason that has at all times resulted im similar advice, namely that it would be easier to get the Canadian people to vote n ney for a navy of their own.BE canal system of Mars has or had, become as much of a fixed legend as the man in the moon.Peter Quince to the contrary, we never much belfev- ed that the mAs in the moon was a nan at al.True, he was there.\u201d Rverybody could see him; and Le had always been known as the man in the moon.They say seeing is believing, but even that did not convince us.In like manner we have not yet been convinced that the canals are canals at all.True, the \u201cobservators,\u201d as one American despatch calls them, call them canals, as they call certain spots on the moon seas.though they know for certain that there jare no seas there.These canals are a tale of woe.They show how the planet is drying up and the wretched inhabi:ants, highly cultured and far in advance of us in engineering and other arts, have had to dig Irrigation canals from tbe polar snows to keep some rempant of vegetation about them.Is that the story?We must own to not having heeded it much.It is conceded, however, that imagination is a willing and most serviceable handmaid to science, and is always ready to supply it with romance.Of course, we know that there ie snow ia Mgrs.Camille Flammarion says that has been known for two hundred years.The newspapers als are always receptive of any sort of moonshine from the Leavens, 50 long as it affords scope for ignorance in the recounting of it.So we have been hear- « ing of strange dots and dashes of sound ob- \u2018served diversely at many observatories where some such indications were ardently sought, such sounds, of course, as mortals never heard before; at least except some years ago when the Marconi people recorded something they could not account for.How could it be otherwise?There is something lacking in the make up of any of us who has not had all the symptoms when his attention was drawn to the de- tatis of some ailment.I we listened in for the esrth creaking on its axts some of us would hear it.Long Distance Calls + HERE have long been plans fof communications to be read in Mars by telescope.It was to be some elementary fact in mathematics

facts ef mathematics are everywhere the same.They were going to display some such proposition in blazing characters on the expanse of tbe Bahara to de rend by the vu- blimated lenses of those advanced mechani- cians who might be a thousand or a million years ahead of our scientific attainments.It would have to be done Iu lines of tire, fer though, when the, planets are is conjune- tion we see Mars in mid-day giare which somewhat mars the definition of his revoir ing landscapes, Mars sees us in black mid night, we being between him and the sun, à circumstance which must de à sore distress to those superna! philosophers.Indeed, the world must de am aggravation to them.Being immensely larger than their own planet it must be, uext to the sum and perhaps any tiny moons they may have, meh the largest and most interesting object ia their heavens.Yet at the best they can only see the sarth as a creseent OT à hait- moon.But the telescope is now ancient; the new tey is the radio.There are also the telepathists whose comtact of spirit with spirit peeds mot the material medium of the ether por the thought vehicle of speech.These had better firet try cosmu- nication with Timbucto whose denisens are more of a plece with us than the Martians.We turn with respect to the less flighty scientists, who, while they are not contemptuous of these vagaries, humbly admitting that there is no limit to discovery in these wonderful days, have too complete a realisation of the meaning of thirty-five milkons of miles outside of our atasospher- ic medium to waste so valuable an opportunity upon them.One says animal life is impossible there as the planet is burnt out.That was presumably before the ice age, for the most striking fact of to-day is areas of snow.Another says life is certainly possible and, therefore, must be there.Assuming that it is, wa should stiil be confronted with the fact that intelligent lite has not existed on our own planet for a thousandth part of its history.Mars may be before or Lehind us a millon Martian years.The practical scientists are eager in the extreme to complete the mapping of Mars in as many phases as possible, so as to divine, if they may, what the more or less permanent markings they are already acquainted with may mean.The weather on this occasion has not beea propitious.But, from heights above the clouds count- legs photographe have been taken to be developed and studied under lees hurried and anxious conditions.Owing to the planet's revolution, it of course offers a moving pic- tare, differing in that from the moon which always turns the same ride toward us, though mot toward the sun.By such patience and diligence along Enown lines much will be learned.- Punishment .-\u2014 And Probation.A CONVENTION of sieutha protests against the rapéd development of the indeterminate sentence and the probation treatment of criminals as neutralizing their work, Our own General Hughes, a veteran authority on our penitentiary system, in his report as Superintendent of Penitentiaries, also deplores, not that sys tem, but the misapplication of jt.It is most demoralizing to all discipline when first offence.mea whose conduct has been exemplary have te serve out their term im Jail.while they see habitual criminals eon- victed of penitentiary offences, released.The only explasstien the general gives of this, one might say, criminal perversion of justice, js political pull, and that is what he boldly allegea.It is not only a wrong done to the community, a reversal of any moral effect in the system of justiop, making it a system of injustige, but ia fitted to bring discredit upon one of the finest advances the community has yet made in penoiogy, the first \"aim and purpose of wbich, once the public takes charge of a man, should be to make him a good mas.Nowhere is it more important that moral principle should rule absolutely (han where.transgressors against society are pat to achool to learn honesty and social duty.where is Injustice more out of place than in the scales of justice.Nowhere could political interest do more humilint ing work than tn serving the friends of crime by pulling their chestuuts out of the fire.Confidence is diminishing in retribution as a preventive of crime, More and more, people are realising tha de [limquents should be made better men be fore they are allowed loose.Hence the Indeterminate sentence ie coming along with the probation system, mere and more iste vogue.\u201cThere shoulé be,\u201d says Gen- oral Magbes, \u201ca parole efficer empleyed

reason for his downfall.\u201d One might think it would be essary to send to heaven for à persen for such a benign service, proof on the one hand against bamboosiement, to which one imvested with so

commented oh ia article by Mr.William Shepherd, ta a United States magazine called \u201cGood Housekeeping\u201d in which he placed the blame of low ethical ideals prevalemt among childres in his country on the lack of religious training and especially on the absence of the Bible fro the public schools.Pursuing the sul in a subse- yLent article he shows that it is not quite correct to say that \u201creligion\u201d ts est t:ught One boy surprised his father by telling him that \u201cthe religion of Osiris\u201d was \u201cthe greatest religion the world ever knew\" that \u201cjt saved the Hgyptiams from barbarism and that saved the world\u201d.Aske ed by his father \u201cwhat about our religiom in America?!\u201d he answered \u201cOh, we haven't Fed anything about that im schon.\u201d A parallel instance was that of à Gir!

it does mot explain it.To the bay or girl in school it explains it all.The boy or girl studying biology has far more need of a knowledge of the BOA than the boy or girl of balf a century ago, frhose studies were simple and fuhda: mental.Fill oùr schools with child experts in biology, soology, geology, and all the other sciences, able to recite an- client history like nursery rhymes and to discuss all the philosophies that wise men have ever devised\u2014and what will you bave in those school rooms in the way of upetanding, honest, trustworthy, moral, athical citizens?\" Mr.SLepherd tells ot a series of tests in honesty and truthful ness to which a large number of children in different s\u2019atos were subjected.High up in results came groups of boy scouts, pext came groups of boys from high class homes, in a highly efficlent private school; and far down on the list came children in the public schools.Mr.Shepherd asks: \u201cIs a belief in God, such as the boy scouts have, and the girl scouts, and such as is taught in moat private schools in America, too rare a privilege for American public school children?\u201d Mr.Shepherd wants \u201cGod taught along with geography and algebra\u201d; be wants \u201chis children taught religion by some ons, whether the teacher is Protestant, Catholic or Jew;\" and he believes that religion can be taught | by a trained teacher so that the mind of the child will react under its call as simply and instantaneously as-it reacts to the call of the pa\u2018riotic impulse.Dont Wait\u201d to be Conscripted NDER the leadership of the Rev.Dr, Albert Moore, with the Rev.John Balley, M.A.as secretary, the Prohibition forces of Ontario are organizing for the struggle with old-time Ontario determination to win a third, comclusive and final victory over the \u201cwets.\u201d Thu plebiscite has been forced at a very awkward time of the year, a time when farmers are straining with their harvests and when organisations, disbanded for the summer months, will find it hard to muster their forces for the fight.But we mistake the temper of the Ontario people if that does not serve to provoke them into the greater determination to ban liquor and all its bag of tricks from the province for all time.With such leadership, s0 disintor- estediy devoted to the welfare of the prov- iace, no \u201cdry\u201d should wait to be conscrint- od or assemsed.Valunteering of services should be the order of the diy.wd Ontario reader of the Witness into the fight wbo wants à province of good homes, a province as free as possible from the temptations that are always associated with liquor, a province prosper- \u201cous because it docs not waste its money.time and energies on drink, à province \u201cwhose government is not the tool of one \u201cot the mos\u2019 selfish and unscrupulous powers of the day.Let every reader, young as well as old, seek-some channel through which he can enlist his means or his services\u2018 in the fight.If the leaders have to spend their strength pulling you and your money into line, the battle is as good as won hy the all too willing wets.Remember you are responsible for your own apathy or inertia.If you are trom bled with either of those diseases catch the enthusiasm of some one else and burn them out-of your system.Then experience the joy of throwing your whole - Wetght on the side of righteousness.Pac- ivism aad neutrality are unbecoming to Christians when the liquor interests seek, through the degradation of the rising generation, the perpetuation of their sordid gains.Billions Saved by Prohibition G.FREDERICK, in the American Review, says: \u201cPortions of the two biliion dollars which were once spent on Alcokolie Hquors make up for a fair share of the five billion dollars which the country now spends annually on automobiles, accessories and supplies.The au\u2018omcbile took a big rise almost simultancously wih the advent of prohibition, and it is ted by sociologists that saloon loafl Crinking as an outlet for masculine in\u2018er- Outs have been melamorphosed into automobile riding.\u201d What a change for the * United States! Millions\u2019 of families formerly joyless and practically fatherless because their men spent \u2018heir spare time and more than their apara money in \u2018a saloons, are today rejoiving in the advan- teges of a car.And today fathers and mothers and children share thelr jcys to- Kether in their rices tno the country.And this is only part of the advantages of pro- - bition to the United States and its \u2018workers.According to the U.8.Federal Cen: sue Reports: a capi\u2018sl investment of and Let et MONTREAL WIYNESO AND CANADIAN One wags earner in tbe manufacture ot! lquor as compared with less than $2009.00 in other industries.Then, too, the money paid to labor employed in distilleries and breweries, and the actual number of men employed by such is a very small fraction of the sale price of their product; while money received by the brewer and distiller came very largely from the laboring element.Proof of this is seen In the remarkable increase in the savings bank balances in the United States since the Volstead liw removed so largely the chance, let alone the temptation, of wasting money and time and capacities in the saloons.And in many of the large cities of the United States Labor banks have teen organized since Prohibition came into force and have grown to great strength.It Is only the diehards of the old order and appetite among labor who are decrying Prohibition on \u201ceconomic\u201d grounds.Jobn Mitchell, a former president of the United Mine workers of America, is re borted to have said: \u201cTear down a saloon and In its place build a factory.\u201d More Drinking Facilities For Quebec T HE smaller hotél men of the province of Quebec are again urging liberty to sell \u201cliquid refreshment\u201d on the score that automobile tourists who pitch their tents In the many camping grounds often arrive too Inte to get supplies from the Government dispensary.At present only such hotels as have thirty rooms or more are allowed to sell liquor with meals.But that's the way Government Control works.The law is advocated during a plebiscite 48 an effective restrictive measure but under the pressure ofthe trade and \u201cwets\u201d the government becomes the authority where it does not become the agency for sn ever greater distribution and sale.Unless the Catholic clergy; teartul of the de- pradation among their flocks and of the draining of good money from their parishes, oppose this extension of facilities for the sale of liquor we fear the local hotel men will gain their demand.Local hotelmen have opportunities of helping or Lindering at elections, and without doubt most of the smgil hotel men of the province have backed the present -Govern- ment.But the priests are still more powerful, and we are mistaken if most of them throughout the more soild French districts will not oppose the hotels in their further demand.Through the Influence of the priests from Quebec city td\" the sea, some three hundred miles, the parishes were all dry before Government Control was introduced.And many of the par- tshes are still, under Local Option, keeping the enemy out as best they can.But it 1s harder to enforce Local Option fn a yrovince under Government Control than it is to enforce Provincial Prohibition in the face of federal laws permitting: the manufacture and transport of liquor within the province.We must fight for every strategic point until the Prohibition forces, gaining strength, can make one great national drive from coast to coast and \u201ccap the ciiMax\u201d for Prohibition in North America.Dopé in Montres) HE o\u2018her day the morality squad found seventy-five pounds of opium hidden in an alleged disorderly house Jn Montreal.It was am unusuaily larga amount of the drug fof one house\u2014suffi- cient to drug-a vast number of people.All the men and girls found in the house were arrested and Jet out on ball with the exception of the \u201cproprietor\u201d who was refused bail pending the trial.This happened, not in Toronto, not in Boston, but in Montreal, in the \u201cGovernment Control\u201d province of Quebec, where wine and beer and lard liquors can be had with the smile of the government, and where, according to the \u201cweols\u201d, thers is never any temptation to resort to drugs.But except for the large quantl\u2019y taken It is bot sn unusual case.Montreal has been often de- vlared to be the headquarters of the drug ring, and, judging by the quantities that are found and the pediars who are caught, we can readily believe it true.Relentiess Campaigning Against Offenders T is reported that the illicit sale of liquor is being put down in Winnipeg by a \"relentless campaign against offend- crs,\u201d that, as a result, \u201cdrunkenness bas decreased.\u201d and that hotel proprietors are complalaing that they are being put cut of business\u2014presumably the business of making many drunk.Where there's a wil! thers seems to be a way of limiting ver §4000,00 had beem required to employ HOMESTEAD, AUQUST 27, 1828.the ravages of either smalipox or drunk- ennees, though either evil is more easily \u201calamped out,\u201d however hard that may be, than to effect \u201ccontrol\u201d under a measure of liberty.But what a terrible infraction of personal liberty such relentless campaigns {nvoive.Ot course circumstances do alter cases; under Government Control the government's right to subject men to the Influence of Intoxicants must be respected and safeguarded.But what 1nterest has the Government of Ontarlo in enforcing a law which it did not make and apparontly does not like?The interest is all the other wax, The most effective way of defea'ing Prohibition 1s to permit offenders agajnst it sufficient latitude to - bring it into disrepute; and this would ap pear to be Premier Ferguson's program, in spite of the few much vaufited ralds against the bootleggers.Staged demonstrations against the lawbreakers is no ndequate fuifilment of the Premier's pre election pledges that he would enforce the law.He certainly has not used all his powers in waging a relentless cam- pain against the offenders.And In the fuce of obvious neglect nothing he or his Heutenant, the Hon.Mr.Nickel, can ay will vindicate him before the public-spirit- ed citizenry of Ontario regarding the charges advanced in the public interest by the Hon.Mr.Raney.Though these men happen to be on either side of the po- iitical fence, their battle is in no sense a purty matter.The late Sir William Whit- rey, Conservative, devoted much attention to the enforcement of the law of his day, and his successor, the Hon, Willlam Hearst, Conservative, gave Ontario effective war-time prohibition.These were men of moral courage, and they worn the gratitude of all right thinking people for euch services.Prohibition is no more a \u201cparty\u201d matter than is Christianity, the very essence of which is the moral, the spiritual well-being of mankind.| A Hot Year C ANON SCOTT, of Quebec, has made through the press the grand proposal that all Christians unite with the Church of Rome in making next year a boly year.We do not hesitate to call it a noble proposal both in its substantive purpose and in its fellowship character.We can imaging proposals which would make it necessary to begin by passing judgment on the Roman church, and say- | tng whether tte practices had any divine warrant, or are open to condemnation.All we are asked to do is to take a time, which happens to be exceedingly appropriate, in which to intensify the spiritual life of individuals of the churches and of the community.Our idea of the duty of Christian uhity is that it should be carried as tar as it can be carried without committing oneself or one\u2019s church to any error.We are not asked to decide whether the Roman Church is a Christian church or not.We only know that by such concerted consecration we should be doing so in fellowship with many devoted Christians who are seeking approach to God iin the best ways they know.The more we realize and.act upon that, the nearer we shall bring true believers into that spiritual fel lowship \u201cin the heavenly places\u201d that spir.itual reglm where ail are one, indeed if we imagine that any of our fellow-believers are in spiritusl bondage, nothing will ge further to set such spirits free than to realize that there is spiritual fellowship beyond the bounds which they have set \u2018o theirs.Indeed, why even stop in such an Invitation with the Christian Church?A Jew who is devoutly sesking God would gladly feel himself upheld in his heavenward as- pi-ations by a similar atmosphere around him.He has learned by now that the hour cometh, and now is, when, neither at Jerusalem nor at any other shrine shall men worship the Father, but the true worshippers must worship the Father in spirit and in truth.He believes that the Father seeketh such to worship him.Spirit ual sympa\u2018hy with a whole nation would give him light oa that other tenet of his ovlief that salvation is from the Jews.Is It .Practical?O far we have been following à good man's vision.Canon Scott says it means that \u201cabout forty per cent of our population will make a real effort .to turn whole-heartedly to Uod.\u201d But does it mean that?Adding the Protestant denominations, it would maeam, he says, \u201cthat about ninety per cent of the total population would engage in a gigantic and enthusiastic endeavor to purify our lite, individual and domes'ic, and that the cross of Christ would be.set up In a + 0 THREE mighty crusade against sin and inditfes ence.Is not that,\u201d be asks, \u201csomething worth striving for?\u201d It surely is.There is, indeed, hardly any comfort or activity of Hfe that should not be gladly sacrificed for that.Blessed is he whose falti rises to such a vision.Without discussing our own Canadian population, Paris may be im dicated as a Roman Catholic city, and London as a Protestant one.Probably in nel- ther would more than a quarter of the population give any heed at all to such a proceeding.It would be different fn Rome, as one hope in the appointment fis that that city would be crowded with pil- grime.\u201d Roman Catholic populations would au least have the occasion forced upon their attention, for as Mr.Scott says, \u201cthe cross would be lifted up\u201d visibly in the crusade, and there would mo doubt be many arresting pSrformances, which would have more or less spiritual import accerd- ing to the condition of the intelligence and souis of the beholders.For the most part, more.As Protestants could not emu- lite these, the question would arise in what way would they keep holy year.One writes to the paper the ready Protestant answer: \u201cby effectual fervent prayer at home and in church,\u201d adding that the time is not next year, but now; we havé mo right to postpone such seeking God with\u201d our whole heart.Still it will b6 answer ed that solemn assemblies, holy convoea- tions, appointed solemnities did survive in Christianity from Judaism, that men are most potently impressed in masses, and have community sentiments and consciences, that religion has a mission to the masses, who must be impressed In some way, also that the individual, however devout, is greatly aided by a general state of devotion in the atmosphere; so that the last word is not said whem men are exhorted to personal and household com- secration.As to the latter a good deal is said in ecclesiastical reports on the state of religion, fabout the need of restoring \u201cthe family altar\" which has been largely tirown down.Who can doubt that that would be much easier of accomplishment if it became a general movement?* The New Era OR the purpose of Church action this proposal, instead of postponing it in any way, comes too late, as all the churches have already held their chwroh gatherings for this -year\u2014that is, supposing the Roman Catholic appointment for next year to stand.Have we not seem .somewhere that it had been put off for a year?In which case it wouid be still open for Protestantism to join in if the idea should take shape in its mind.It would be a remarkably hopeful sign should it do so, and would imply a wonderful development of charity since Canon Scott was born.He says \u201cit is possible there may be some who would fight shy of such a movement because its instigator had been the Pope.But I hardly think they would be many, and I certainly think they are not worthy of much consideration.\u201d There will be very many readers who will wonder whether the prophe'\u2019s eycs are open to the world that is about him, of whether it is that they themselves are )Iv- ing fn a new world of which they were not aware\u2014a world from which aaimosi- fies inherited from the past have really pussed away.We should ourselves have* zupposed that the \u201cshy\u201d ones were still a substantial proportion of the ninety per cent.Unfortunately, animosity has at all times been a large element in what people *hought was Christianity, though it doeh uot belong there.Im any case it cannot be denied that there is a wonderful appropriateness in the proposzl, seeing that the world certainly entering on a new era in which sll things are greatly changed, snd that, for better or orse according sn men shail consecrate it or ignore the heavenly vision.Seeing also that a great new era has definitely dawned on the majority of Canadian Protestantism, which wiil be for good or for Il! according a it is inspired; for evil if it brings pride of bigness, of wealth, of organisa tion; for good if it brings a humiliated resolve to make good the failures of the pest.There is everything in a right and consecrated start.There will of neceasity- be a jubilant inauguration of the new era of the church.Everything shouid b: made of that occasion to make the change a %eeply spiritusl one.It often happens that rome fear looms Just ahomd of us in our daily life.some dtfficulty that looks insufmountable, and thon, when we really come to the axpect- ad place of meeting, It has been removed; i it is no

that if pri- seners were able to listen in on radio broadcasting they would not only derive Innocent entertainment from It, but would secape becomi embittered against go- cid'y, and would leave prison with better Frospects of being useful and law-abiding citizens.On the face of it the ples seemed well founded.There was something touching in the idea of No.89667M listening tod story or a discourse on law and order.One could easily imagine the lonely Prisoner being cheered at getting the bail «cores or a programme of music.To deny hin these simple pleasures seemed unduly severe.Yet this attitude fs hound to be Dudified by a story which comes from the Pennsylvania penitentiary.Ome of the Prisoners had a radio set in his cell, and 2 man was catled in from outside to fix it.He happened to be a telegraphor, and when the set was fa working order again Be heard it tick off a message fn Morse te the effect that at a certain time a rub ber ball filled with nercotdes would be à over the prison wall.\u2018There is no valid objection to prisoners\u2019 Teceiving the programs that are regulariy cast, but evidently the possession of a radio set permits secret communica ton with persons outside.In this case it wag sid to the introduction of drugs prison;

Communists to Silence \u2014 Herriot in French Chamber Sees Dawn of New Era.With Chancellor Marx and Finance Minister Luther, his fellow members of the German delegation to the london conference, Dr.Stresemann, the German Foreign Minister, on Saturday faced a Reichstag seething with hosulity, and by sheer aggressiveness and brilliant oratory contributed tremendously toward the German Government's chances of obtaining that Relchstag's support of the London pact.With nearly every Reichstag member present and the galleries crowded with vis- tors, inclading diplomats and scores of journalists, Drs.Marx, Luther and Strese- mann made thair eqgeriy-awaited report on what they had done at London.- Communist Interruptions Chancellor Marz spoke first amid the usual loud interruptions from the Communists and derisive outbursts from the Voelk- ische members at the other extreme of the hall, Dr.Marx prefaced iris recital of the London negotibations by a frank admission that the German delegates could not boast of having achieved a signal success as the nature of the task that awaited them in London was not of the sort that would insure unusual accomplishments.He praised Premier MacDonald's impartial conduct of the deliberations and the spirit of equality with which the German delegates were uniformly treated.The Dawes report was as unpleasant for the Germans as the Versallles Treaty, he admitted, but it would be a step forward as compared with the existing state of affairs, as for the first time since the war the Germans had met on an equal footing with the other powers, and many of their counter- proposals had been accepted.Dr.Max warned the Reichstag that industry and agriculture would suffer more an ever from lack of capital and credit it the pact were rejected, and it wis probable that the German currency could not resist fresh depreciation.In conclusion, the Chancellor said: \u201cThe Reichstag is confronted with a terrible responsibility.Its decision will mean a blessing or a curse to Germany.The whole world looks téward us.The populations of the occupied regions have manifested their will.The hopes awakened must not be betrayed.\u201d Minister of Finance Luther, who addressed the Reichstag after the Chancellor had finished his statement, asserted that the consequences would be grave if the Reichstag rejected the london pact.He pointed to the continually-increasing number of un- emmloyed.and said that in the Ruhr alone 80.00 miners were idie.\u201cDr.T.uther decliared that if the nact were rejecied, the Reichsbank\u2019s credit policy would have to be restricted.agriculturists would be unable to obtain credits.foreign loans would be withdrawn and the time would come when the Relch federal states and communes would be unable to fuifil their obligations.The entire econgmic situation forced the Governmeni to accept the vact.A Plery Speech When Dr.Stresemann, in à flery speech, \u2018fairly dominated the Reichstag and brought roars of applause from the Government's supporters.When interrupted he turned sharply oh Lis interrupters, putting Herr Graefe, Herr Quaathe, and others, quickly to silence.Dr.Stresemann indignantly denied that any secret agreements between the French and German delegates bad bound the hands of the latter in London.\u201cWe are acting in these negotiations with entire freedom,\u201d he anid.He particularly emphasized the victory won by the Germans in the matter of the discussion of the Ruhr evacuation, pointing out with special satisfaction that M.Her- riot originally had flatly refused to take up the Ruhr question in London, yet that eventually this question had become the pivot of the entire london conference.M.Herriot\u2019s good faith in the matter, continued Dr.Stresemann, had been amply proved by the prompt evacuation by the French of Offen- burg and Appenwoeier and the agreement to evacuate other occupied points, notably Dortmund.Dr.Stresemann went on to say that the outcome of the conference proved that Poincarelsm had ceased to reign in nee, though the extremists of the Left in Germany had constantly insisted that it was there to stay.» The Londons agreement did not mess that France would remain in the Ruhr one year, but that it would be evacuated step by step within the period of one year.Hence it was incumbent on the German Government to see that the evacuation progressed steadily.Like Chancellor Marx, Dr.Stresemana declared that one of the principal things to be learned from the London conference was that a new spirit now reigned, which was entirely different from the arbitrary epirit which had hitherto bean prevailing.HERRIOT OBTAINS VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Declares France Must Do What Is Right 85 Hours of Speech-making * Chamber of Deputies has given its approval to the London conference methods for putting the Dawes\u2019 plan into execution and has voted confidence in Premier Her- riot's Government, 336 to 204, some 26 more votes tkan its normal! majority.The debate degan Thursday aftgrnoon and ended at 4.30 Sunday morning.Thirty-five hours of the time was spent in speech-making.After the Communists had succeeded in disturbing the first day's debate by noisy rowdyism, the discussion maintained a high level, devoid of unseemingly incidents which so frequently mar the Chamber's proceedings.\u2018The impassioned tone of M.Herriot in his speech was in marked contrast to the mat- ter-of-fact statement which he made in the opening Premier Herriot defended the Dawes\u2019 plan and the London agreement in à two- hour reply to his critics.He took as bis theme, \u201cFrance must do what is right.\u201d M.Herriot, frankly admitting that \u201cwe bring you the first fruits of hope,\u201d and not \u201ccomplete peace,\u201d told the Chamber that any of the deputies would have done as he did under the circumstances.Marshal Foch became an issue for a moment when Deputy Schmidt averred that the Marshal had said publicly: \u201cThe policy of isolation is detestable.\u201d The deputy added that Marshal Fooh had always favored M.Herriot\u2019s views.But the Premier quickly interrupted with: \u201cFoch is too glorious a soldier to be dragged into this.The Government will bear the responsibility.\u201d Chief of Foch\u2019s staff, and Ganeral Nollet, Minister of War, gave the military views.General Desticker said that Marshal Foch had been consuited and had \u201cdeclared formally that the military occupation of the Ruhr should not concern France's security, and the Marshal considered the conditions of the Versailles Treaty amply sufficient.\u201d M.Reibel, former Minister of Liberated Regions, defined the Dawes\u2019 plan as \u201cthe offspring of the Ruhr operations,\u201d and refused to vote approval of the London conference proceedings because, as he expressed jt: \u201cAll are convinced that the Dawes\u2019 plan is the best which France has yet oh- tained, but 1 consider that the London coa- ference has weakened France's position, and diminished the guarantees which our country held from the occupation of the Ruhr, both as regards reparations and security itself.\u201d she (roa is shown heavily outlined.Commenting on Premier Herriot's address in the Chember of Deputies which preceded a vote of approval of the Gorèrn- ment'a action at the London conference, Figaro expresses dread of the dangers France runs through trusting in the good nature of the Premier, which it connlders so liable to be exploited by others.U.8.FLIERS REACH WEST GREENLAND The United States army aviators reel off another lap on theïr round-the-wo flight on Saturday and are now at Ivigtut, Greeniand.Skirting the coast, they covered the 136 miles from ° Frederjksdal, where they found a haven after their hazardous joumey from Iceland, in a little more than two hours, In a meesage announcing arrival of the two planes at Ivigtut, Lieut.Smith, in command, said motors would be changed and both

the United States flfers from Ice land, failed to arrtve with them at Fred- eriksdal.From the cruiser Milwaukee, in waters nearby, came the word, however, that the search for.Locatelli was continuing and that the Danish aviators were co-operating to the utmost.\u2014\u2014 Locatelli Rescued The U.S.cruiser Richmond rescued Lieut.Locatelll, miseing Italian airman, at 11.36 o'clock on Sunday night.He was picked up 125 miles east of Capt Farewell.The Italian filer and his companions were uninjured although worn out by fatigue.Motor trouble had forced Locatelli to come down on the water during the flight on Thursday from Reykjavik.Iceland.He was unable to bring jie plane into the alr again and drifted for 100 miles.Locatelli requested that his airplane be destroyed and his wish was complied with, ST.ANTOINE BY-ELECTION On Monday night the electors of St.Antoine had nn opportunity of acclaiming the Right Hon.W.L.Mackensie King, Prime Minister of Canada, when he spoke at Chaboillez Square in favor of W.J.Hushion, Liberal standard-bearer in the by-election of next Tuesday.A hearty reception was prepared for the Premier on this, his frst official visit to Mont-eal since December 6 last, when the city gave him a great welcome on his return from the Imperial Conference in London.Right Hom.Arthur Meighen, leader of the opposition, will be the chief speaker at a meeting

T.Crosby of Virginia, whe was Assistant Secretary of the Timasury in the Wilson Administration and who attending the Institute of Politics at Wil liamstown, Mass.proposed a means for keeping the election out of the House of Representatives in case there is a deadlock in the Electoral College.He suggest ed that the electors be permitted by general understanding to cast thei- votes for the candidate receiving the largest num ber of popular votes.\u201cIt would be necessary to provide the members of the Electoral Collège with assurance that such a course would be ap proved by the public at large,\u201d Mr.Crosby scié.\u201cThis means it would be essential for the National Chai-men for Davis, Cool- fige and La Follette to announce publicly that in case there is nognormal majority in the Electoral College the electors of thelr retpective parties will not only be permitted, but advised, to give their electoral voles to the candidate haviug the largest number of popular votes.\u201d

and towns, and on its Mountains, Lakes and Streams.1 travelled the other day from New York to Montreal, where I live, in the pleasant company of some Americans coming to the Province of Quebec for a brief \u201cY like the altitude,\u201d said one.The air the Laurentians,\u201d said another, \u201cis wonderful\u201d \u201cWhat I specially like,\u201d sald the third, \u201cis the charm of the old French civilisation.\u201d What they said was true, bat it seemed to leave out something.They had with them a litle Gpide Book to the Province of Quebec.But that, 00, seemed to leave out something.So I bmve compiled à new one, as follows: \u2018The Province of Quebec; licensed to sell beer and wine, has an area of 706,000 square miles.Its magnificent extent reaches from the border of New York State to the shore of the Frozen Seas.The most northerly license is that at Oopchoopchick tm Labrador.But it is nat necessary to travel so far as that.The great glory of the province is the broad stream of the river Bt.Lawrence.On its noble bosom ply magnificent passen- gor steamers the bars oa which usually open at seven o'clock.Here on our right hand as we come up from the sea the magnificent stream of the Saguenay pours ita foaming waters through the gateway of frowniag as it joins the St.Lawrence.Clinging to the very crest of the rock, like am eagle upon Rs nest, is a tiny hotel licensed to sell wine, beer and other Hquors.What the Eye Commands Ascending the river further, we pass the famous falls of tbe Montmorency, from which the sods water is made.Pouring over the clit in a cascade over 200 feet high.the water ja churned into soda at the foot.Nothing is needed bat to mix with this sods a small quantity, \u2014 or a large,\u2014of the Sqotch whiskey, freely imported for private orders under the laws of the province.The result is a delicious beverage, sparkling and refreshing, which may be placed beside us on a little table on the deck, while we smoke our Havana cigar, with one foot upon a camp stool.Our attention is next turned\u2014though mot completely.\u2014to the historic and ple- turesque Isi»nd of Orleans.Here are the quaint villages, the little spires, and the stone houses of the old French civilization, unchanged since its frst foundation wnder Louis XIV.Through our field glass + we can see the thrifty French Canadian farmer busily engaged in distiHing whiskey blame, or white whiskey made from wheat.Ta front of we ndw rises the impressive outHae of the Quebec Bridge.Hs huge span crossing the river from summit to summit, and here before

great ocean steamers of the Canadian Pacific Railway.They de not draw as much water as (he steamers of the White Star and the Cunard lines that enter New York harbor.But they do mot need ta.They have advantages of their own.Pariinment snd Percontuige 1f our time aliaws we drop in & moment te visit the spleadid dailéding where the Parliament of the Province of Quebec le in session.Here the Lieutenant-Governor sits enthroned, the direct representative of the King.Around him are the ministers of the Crown leaning over ids chair.There is a etrange charm in listening to courteous debate which is going on, all of it, we note with unreasonable surprise, conducted in Prench.The distinguished premier of the province is speaking.We bend our ear to listen, understanding as best we can.We gather that the prime minister is speaking, gravely and earnestly.on the question of the percentage of alcohol in the beverages ok the province.Certain members of the opposition have urged that it be raised from 160 to 150.Mr.Taschereau docé not see his Way to do this.But he assures the house that if any one Will show him how to do it, he will do it.\u2019 The ancient city of Quebec has ber own proud way of dealing with the modern liq- wor problem.She gives no licenses bat sells liquor only through the medieal profession, and then only to those who need it.As we descend the slope from the legislature we pass the gay Httie street of the doctors, with its laughing crowd of sick people around each door.The law is very strict, it appears.No prescriptions must be filled out far more than a bazrelfui at & time.The enforcement of this law is aided by a vigorous publie dpinion im its favor.We ate back again upon our comfortable steamer.We are again ascending the river on our way to the metropolis of Montreal.The bar, which was closed during our absence on shore, is now open again It is a strict rele of the Steamship Company that when nebody wants a drink (be bar is closed.\u2018Tte scenery has changed now.On either side of the river, we pasa from time to time the quaint little villages of French Canada, each with its tall church spires and its neat hotel, licemsed to sell beer and wine.From time to time larger towns rise upon the bank.Here is Three Rivers with its vast piles of lamber, its tall smoke stacks and its eighteen licenses.The Perils of the Wikis In the country to the morth, we can see the dim outline of the Laurentian Mountains, \u2014 a vast territory of lake and mountain, forest and stream, an ideal hamting ground, the paradise of the sportsman.Some of qur passengers have visited the Laurentians and as we sit back about the deck in a circle they exchange stories of their adventures.One tells us how he was once moose hunting beyond the forks ot the Batikan and lost his flask.Another tells a tale of how he and two companions got separated from their party over the divide in the wilderness near Lake Mis tassisi and for four days had only two bottles of whiskey among three of them.Stories such as these, though todd lightly and casually, give one a very real idea of the peculiar bardshipe and dangers of the hunter's life in the Laurentians.But our steambost journey is at an end.Our boat is steaming iuto the river bmr- bor of Montreal crowded with shipping.Before us lies the great metropolis framed sgainst the background of its Royal morn- tain.Our landing fills us with wonder and delight.On every side are objects of | interest.Here in the foreground of the picture is the great brewery of the Moisons; we can see the thin steam rising from its covered top in a dainty cloud In the clear air.There is something exquisite in the sight that recalls the canvas of & Turner er a Correggio or the skyline of Milwaukee as she used to be.ECONOMIC BASIS OF PROHIBITION Why do we Temperance Fanatics say Met the money spent on Drink is Waste?Why do we distinguish between our fur- nitere bill, our bread bill, our mea: bil} and our clothes lll and ewe drink bill?A courgarison between eur furniture bill and our drink bill may perhaps make the distinction more clear.Let us compare the making asd selling of a kitchen table with the making and sailing of (say! a barrel of beer.What js à kitchen table?It is the re- suit of labor applied to à tree.That tree, Arowing perhaps ir Canada, is oat down, sawn wy, floated down to the ses, tran- shipped and worked upon by e Cabine: \u201cSaker, aad ultimately emerges as \u2018he wel:- knows article of furniture.In its manufacture men earn wages and employers make profits; but not merely do the individual worker and the employer at every stage derive bemefit from the various process.but the whole community benefits, because, at every stage the original raw material is being increased in value by the labor expended upon it; and in the re- uit the whole community is eariched by the difference in value between a compare- tively useless tree and the useful article of our daily acquaintance.The waole process of manufacture is the Transforming of the Less Useful into the Mere Useful : On the other hand, beer and apirits are the result of labor applied to most valuable toodstufts,~barley, rice, maize, suger, glucose, otc.In their manufacture wages are earned; and it is generally understeod that profits are made by brewers and éis- tillers! But there the resemblance ceases.There is no corresponding gain to the community; for, at every stage in manufacture, the food value of the raw material is being diminished until la the final processes it is entirely eliminated in spirits and almost entirely in beer, while there is substituted for it large quantities of a deadly narcotic poison, alcohol.The whole process of manufacture is the Transforming of the Mest Useful ute the Useless or Dangerows.The contrast is continued when we com- sider the retall sale of the furniture dealer, on the one hand, and the pablican = tke other.The housewife goes shopping: and having selected the table bargains with the shopkeeper.Having agreed the price, what 5e the position?She wants the table more than she wants her money; the furniture dealer wants tle money more than he wants the table; and provided the transaction goes through and the table is when received all that she anticipated, there is a mutual exchange of benefit; she gets what she wants: he gets what he wants.But tbe gain does not end there, for the whole community ie enriched in this sale by the difference between the value of the table anased in the shop and used in the home.if we take (say) bread, we sos this gain more clearly, the difference between the bread getting mouldy or unused in the baker's shop, and the bread used in the home, making the father fit to work and resist disease, the mother strong to darn stockings and mend clothes, asd the children healthy and able to learn their lessons.The process of retail sale is, therefore but a continuation of the process of manufacture, pamely Making the More Useful still More Useful, becanse More Accessible.Tke publican\u2019s case is the converse.The drinker wants his besr more than his moa- ey; the peblican wants the money more than the heer.But this mutua) exchange is not accompenied by a natiomal bemefit for, trom that point of view, it wouid b- better that the beer stopped in the publican\u2019s cellar than that it went into the body of the man.Ttre pablican is a public menace, bécaute he makes the dangerous more dangerous because more accessible.It would be cheaper in the puwilic Interest 10 pay the wages of every man and woman engaged in making and selling drink and send them for an annmal twelve months\u2019 holiday, than te pay them their wages and Jet them work.The liquor trafic is a parasitic trade: preys upon the public and makes no re- um There is ne room for such à trade, in a civilived community \u2014Alliance News.PME CNURCNES AND THE O, 7.À.The An lican

and incorporate the farm with its mative winsomeness and also &s monotony and hard work.The Foundation of Life We apoke of the foundation of our life as work with the hands everywhere.We bave thought how vital à factor the farm bas been and still is, in that foundation.We bave discounted work on the farm, indeed, work with the hands everywhere.We have put farm work in a different social category from that of other labor; we have sald, in effect, anyone will do for the farm, the bright boys and girls must come to the city.Amd in the city have we not done the same thing?can whose hands are hardened by manus] Iebor is put into a different eocisl grouping from the man whoee hands are soft and white.Have we Dot said, sometimes with s touch of scorn, of all our laboring work, that \u201cthe foreigners can do hat,\u201d and we have added insult to injury by calling them \u201cdagos\u201d and \u201cscrubs.\u201d Lat us strike a new note, there is no need to be ashamed of honest toll.It is not the color of the worker's hands, but the tone of his 1ie, the color of his soul, that really matters.Let us remember that Jesus Him- sel was a carpenter.His bands were hardened by the use of tools, but they were unto you.\u201d te ve eleve ss de EE ofr gentle, tender bands, bringing comfort\u2014 FF FF Hof Hof of oh i We to be true sahe\u2014 Amen, 8 L Ge pe fes ce fs of of oo 5 je so fs

Hour What is the necessity ot tbe hour?What word of hope and inspiration can we speak?We need to inspire and help one another with a new sense of the place and dignity of labor in relation to the ideal tite of the race.One of the great features of modern industry, and certainly a very popular ene, is the perfecting of means for the lessening ot toil and for shortocing the hours of laber, and this good work must continue to such an extent that the heakh of all the toilers shail be safeguarded, and increasing time for mental, social and spiritual development be afforded to every member of the race, irrespective of class or clan or sex.But, on the other band, it is welt for us to be reminded that our corperats life is founded on the basis of mutual labor and toll for te common good.Work.honest work, of hand or of brain, work with a noble purpose, is the bed rock of civilization and progress.True culture 1s not divorced from toil, nay, rather the highest culture of life Is found ia achieviag something better than you found, tor ia the process of achievement, your ows perecns.- Prayer O God, Chon hast given unto us eternal : life and oll things needful for the Life that now : rest in hy love and adore Thee for Tidy grace so marvellousiy manifested unto us our Lord, and would mabe : portion our light and our joy.: tailing forth to others the excellencies of Ome : to save.\u201c1 and faithful wilnesses, 3 For Mis Name's : healing life to men and women in thelr need.: For the steadying of life in these uncer- iain days and for the investing of the tasks at every day with lofty purpose, let we teach our young people the dignity of homest toll.\u201cWork for some good, be K ever so lowly, Lator, all iabor ie noble and holy.\u201d The Bond of Pellowship Another urgent need in the life of to-day Is \u201cThe fostering of a closer bond of feliow- ship in all tbe work of the world.\u201d We need the spirit and the practice of our text Every mab encouraging his neighbor.Iam not unmindful of the change in toaditions of labor since the day our text was fires spoken, but the very fact that the inepira- tion and pride of hand dabor has gives place to the monotony of machine work with {ts specialized details, serves but te emphasize the need of sympathy and comradeship.There is little or uo inspiration ia the materis! task to-day, for mo ome ity is developed and purified, Not ia seclusion from humes needs, net Niall alike mast seek the abolitfon of the epirit of distrust and hostility, and the substitu tion of the spirit of goodwill, of mutual trust and sympathy.Here ls where the Christion Church bas a great part to take.She must etand for the emential unity of all life, and for the 66 sentisd unity of the human race.Her concern is for the whole Hfe of mag, all round development of lite, life more abundant, Her mindsters must be not only men of God, with hearts wide open to His grace, but they must also be men of affairs, knowing the life of thelr fellows, conversant with conditions in which their fellows live and 1abor.clude in every theological student's course à study fa the principles of economics, s0 It might be a wise provision to in« that when they speak to men, they will | know whereof they testify.The message of tbe Church to men is Brotherhood, but brotherhood must mean more than a pious sentiment, even more than the sluging of that stirring hymn, \u201cWhen wilt Thou save the people.\u201d It muet mean engaging in the work of saving them, In better housing conditions, for slums are a shame In ttis young country; in better ccnditions of labor, for there should be no sweat shops in this rich land; in free'st, fallest possibitities of education, for there should be no illiterates in this fair land: in purified social conditions, for there should be no liquor shops, no vice deme in this sweet country.The Hope of the Hour But that leads us inevitably to state this third and deepest need of our day.The modern world needs Jesus Christ.He is the hope of the present hour, For only His Spirit can foster and sustaln brotherhood in acon in the lives of men.In the strain of modern competition man gives way to the spirit of tte jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the weakest are flung to the wall.And the very wreckage of this system of competition orles ont for the Christian Spirit and the Master's interpretation of Kte in service.- Only the Spirit of Jesus can create and maintain the goodwill among employers and employees make it operative in al departments of life.The late President Harding in almost his last speech, said, \u201cI tell you, my countrymen, the world needs more of the Christ.If we could bring into the relationship of life the brotherhood that was taught by Hm, we would have a restored world, we would have a new bope for humanity throughout the globe.\u201d Let the Church face hes task with courage and \u2018with hope.The world needs her mintstry more to-day than ever before in her history.We need better homes, wider streets, better factories, shorter hours of Isbor, more playgrounds, but in the end of the day the supreme thing is better life, nobler characters, for the life of the toiler is tho biggest thing.We must work for the transformed life of the people it we would have a transformed world.Jesus struck at the root of all reformation when He said, \u201cYe must be born again.\u201d For new men will create a new earth.Jesus the Saviour of men is the Hope of the World to-day.\u201cDUST TO DUST\" \u201cLass than the dust!\u201d says Man, in

MONTREAL WITNES® AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, AUGUST 27, 1884 A Surprised Beggar THOUGHTS FOR THINKERS FOR SUNDAY, SEPT-R God often sees it to be necessary to keep His children praying a long time before answe:ing their prayers.One reason for doiug «0 id, undoubtedly.that God wants to have constant intercourre with His chlidren because He loves them so much, and He wants to strengthen their faith by compelling them to exercise faith, Another reason why God.does not grant our petitions at once is that other persons are concerped in some way and it is better for them that we should wait.We are too apt to forget that God has undertaken à very complicated task\u2014the task of making \u201call things work together for good to those who love Him.\u201d (See Rom.8:28), and in order to accomplish that task He needs to plan far ahead and dovetail things together so that a number of different purpos- © can be accomplished at the e time.He says \u201cBefore they cali I will answer.\u201d (Isa.65:24.) God knows beforehand what pmyers, will be offered and what answers should be given and He prepares the answers, but they are often long on the way, like the ange! who came to answer Danisl's prayer.(See Dan.10:2-14.) After Jesus bad spent two days in Bychar and had won many of the Samaritans He passed on into Galilee, and the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen the miracles which He had worked at Jerusalem during the feast.When He was at Cana a nobleman came from Capernaum and begged Him to go there and cure his son who was dying.He was an importunate beggar.He did not want to listen to any teaching for fear his son might die while Jesus was talking.This shows the limit of his understanding of the power of Jesus He believed Jesus could heal his son, but did not suppose that Jesus could know all about hig son's condition and could heal him without going to Cape nanm.Jesus wanted to show that Hig mir acles were not worked by mesmerism, or magnetism, or mind cure, or by any means other than the exercise of His tovereign will.He also wanted to \u2018 give the man, and others through him, a lesson on faith, so He simply told the man to go back and he would find the boy well, \u2018 We can well imagine that the man wag struck dumb with surprise to learn that the awful disease which \u2018was robbing him of his ton and had caused him such intense anxiety was s0 trivial a matter in the thought of Jesus that He did not think It necessary to waste any words on it, but only arsured him that all was well.Yet there was something fn the expression of the Saviour's face and something in the tones of His voice that inspired confidence, and the man, who a minute before had been afraid that Jesus would lose the chanée to beal his ron by talking instead of acting, believed at once when Jesus said the boy was cured already, and went away rejoicing.Bat as he journeyed toward home he could not help thinking: he asked himself, no doubt, how this man could cure his son without seeing him, and how He could know that the boy was cured?Such power and such knowledge must bave seemed to him more and mor® incredible the more he thought about it.Is not that just what sny of us wouid have thought if we had been in his place with as little knowledge as he had about Jesus?If the man\u2019s own mind was not active enough to suggest fuch doubts the Devil would certainly try to shake bis faith.We can Imagine the man hurrying home to see with his own eyes the proof of the prophet's worde, and then as the doubts assailed him with more and more force we can imagine him halting and hesitating: should be not go back and beg the propbet to come and make sure that the cure Wag effected?Yet, how could he do that?It would be equivalent to say- îng that he could not trust the prom- 180 that he had received.But as he stands anxfously considering what he should do, he sees men coming up the road.and coon he sees that they are bis own servants.They are bringing news, of course, but is ft good or bad news?He runs to meet themp.They see the anxious expres oon on his face and call out to him, Thy son liveth,\" repeating the exact words that Jesus had used (Ho huios sou dze.) His anxiety was gone, but now as- other question presented itself: had Jesus any connection with the cure, or bad the boy recoversd naturally?\u201cAt what time did the change come?\u201d Bo asks, \u201cYesterday at the seventh hour Be fever left him.\u201d Then the man was sure that Jesus had answer Nur 40 ed his prayer and he and alt his family believed in Jesus.This story is a lerson on the sub- Ject of prayer.In the frat place, this man knew what he wanted, and be wanted it with his whole heart.In the second place, he believed that Jesus could do what he asked - Him to do.He was importunate in prayer: \u201cSir, come down before my child dies.\u201d He accepted without hesitation the arsurance of Jesus that his prayer was granted.And when he learned frim his servante that his son was well be be lleved that Jesus had cured him.Our prayers are very apt to fall short on one or the other of these _polnts\u2014perbaps on all (f them.We ask for faith, but perhaps what we really want fe to obtain favors without having to exercise faith.We would like well enough 0 be able to move mountains, but we me not willing to trust God in the dark, when everything seems to be going wrong.(Mat.17:20; Gen.42:36.) We ask for love, but are we really very anxious to love those who annoy ut, or deceive us, or slight us?We ask God to make use of us in His service, but are we really anx- fous to serve ih any way that we can?Are we watching for opportunities to serve?Are we willing to serve in humble ways, and when we shall get .no credit for the service?We ask God \u2018to transform us into Hig image, do we reaily believe that He can do it?Are we even willing to be such as Jesus was?Do we pray like that ruler with the determination to get an answer?When Jesus told the ruler bia son was cured he beileved Bt once.Jesus hag said to us, \u201cAsk, and ye shall re- celve:\u201d have we ever prayed with full confidence that God is listening and will cetainly answer our cry in the way that He sees best?Have we ever realised that God's honor is at stake; that He must keep his promise to answer believing prayers?Sometimes we may cry out in agony for what God cannot give us without doing harm either to us or to others, and it it our duty always to pray Im the spirit in which Jesus prayed in the garden\u2014\u201cNevestheless, not as I will, but ag Thou wilt.\u201d Jesus bad to drink the cup which He so greatly feared.even to the bitter dregs, yet His prayer was answered: an angel was sent to strengthen Him; God could not have taken from Him that bitter cup without defeating the very object for which He had sent His Son to earth.And sometimes God sees that we need to learn resignation and to have our faith tested more than we need the boon for which we plead: He withholds the good gift because it would have satisfied 13 anJ prevented us from scekipg the mach more ime portant gift which He desires to bestow.Paui's \u201cthorn in the flesh\u201d was not removed.He had to bose It all his life, hut his praver for its ramo~- al was answered by the bestowal of a blessing which far more than cum- pensated him for the annoyance which he had to endure.See 2 Cor.12:7-10; Phil.3:8-11.) Confident faith is always honored by God.Believing prayer always wins à blessing if the petitioner is so much in earneet that, like Jacob, he is able to say, \u201cI will not let Thee go except Thou bless me.\u201d (Gen.33:26.) Confident faith holds on and per sista in prayer for the blessing sought.The faith which gets dis couraged and thinks God is not true to His promise is not real faitb, but only an opinion which may be held very confidently for a time, but gives way befors seemingly unanswerable evidence that it was not well founded.Jesus taught that we must persevere in prayer (Luke 18: 1-8) \u201cShall not God avenge His own elect who cry day and night unto Him?\" And when the blessing we have prayed for comes to us in some quiet natural way, do we assume that our prayer was not the canse of its coming, for it would have come in just the same way if we had not prayed?That is one of Satan's most successful deceptions.Many Christians have ttle It any expectation of receiving answers to their prayery because they do not believe thet any of thelr past prayers have beea granted.They know that many things for which they had prayed came to pass, but they a ways believed the Devil's lie that the prayers had nothing to do with the result.No one who discounts God's faithfulness in that way can hope to acquire a confident faith.\u201cLet wot that man think that ba shall receive anything of the Lord.\u201d (Jambds 1:68.) - + God is very gracious, and sometimes grants praye-s that were not offerad is faith, but He does not promise to grant such prayers.\u201cYesterday at the sevénth hour, the fever left him.\u201d The seventh bour was 1 pm.In a straight line Cans was probably not more thau 30 miles trom Capernaum, but country roads do not always run straight from one city to another and the distance trav- oled may have been twenty-five miles, or more.The nobleman had covered that distance going to Jesus, and might not be able to go the whole way home the game day.He seeme to have stopped somewhere for the night, because it was on the next day that he met his servants.\u2018Nobleman\u2019 (king's office-basilikos) This man was probably a representa tive of Herod Antipas, the tetrarch, who was sometimes called king.It fas been suggested that he may have been Chusa, Herod's\u2019 steward, whose «wife Joanna was one of the women wha followed Jesus and \u201cministered wtp Him of their substance\u201d (Luke 8:3) It fs of course only a surmise, but it Is plausible enough.It is quite supposable that the mothér nf the boy who was healed when at death\u2019s door would want to show her gratitude to Jesus.Golden Text: ! am the way, the truth, and the life.John 14:6.SCRIPTURE READINGS Monday, Sep.1\u2014Jobn 4:4654; Taesday\u2014$ Kings 20:1-7; Wednesday \u2014Phil.2:256-30; Thursday\u2014Luke 6:- 17-26; Friday\u2014isa.38:16-22; Baturday \u2014Mat.9:18-31; Sunday\u2014Psalm 130:- 14 - FALL PROGRAN OF EVANGELISN One ot the most significant results of a three-day conference of the Federai Coun- cii's Commission on Evangelism held at Northfield, Massachusetts, was the decision to enter unitedly next fall upon a program of increasing Church attendance.The plan has two main objectives: first, to re-inter- est the absentee Church member who does not take Church atténdance nerlousiy as à duty; and, second, to secure the attendance of thoee not now members of the Church.The first Sunday tn October is suggested as a day for the simultaneous munching of this program throughout the country.Tris day was chosen because some of the denominations had already selected it for their own special emphasis.The conference also gave special attention to plans for developing a fall evangelistic program by the pastors and laymen of the Churches.During re.ant years, the period in the spring just preceding Easter has come to be generally accepted as a time for concerted emphasis on evaug- eHsm.K was feit that à aimilar plan neuded to be doveloped for the fall.This would be the climax of the proposed campaign on Church attendance.The findings of the conference, as unan- mously adopted, are as follows: (1.) Churches and pastors shouid know their fields.To this end we urge that wherever possible there be a survey of the field this autumn sufficiently thorough to result in a Mat of the names of al in the community who ougbt to be reached by the Church.Where there is more than one Church in the community the survey can be made co-operatively, each Church receiving the names of {hose who express a preference for it or are its normal re- gpousibility.It a survey is not undertaken, there should be at least afi assembling of as many namos as possibie of people in the community who are not members of any Church, placing these names on & prospect Mat.Such names car be secured from the various members of the Church, the Sunday School, public school lists, ete.{2.) There should be in every Church this autumn a special period of \u201cfriendly visitation\u201d in the homes of the community, carri>d on by a group appointed for that purpose, designed to enlist fresh interest among those who are already Church members, and to invite to the Churoh those who are not.(3) We commend the growing practices of holding a Church \u201cRally Duy\u201d in the fall, on which day special attention is given to securing the attendance of all in the community, and seeking to Interest them in the life and work of the Church.There is special advantage in a cancerted observance of this dhy.In view of the fact that the first Spnday In October is already observed as.\u2018Rady Day\u201d among many Churches and Bible Schools, we suggest the observance of this date aa widely as practical, with Sunday, September 21, or any time in the intervening two weeks used as a visitation pertod.(4.) Every (burch should have a definite plan for extending to every unchurched person in the community a personal invitation to become a member of the Church.This plan should not be a plan of the minister alone.His part is to inspire men and women to desire to do the work of personal evangelism and to organise his members in a systematic way for a definite Carsonal evangelistic program.We com- amer mend tha plan of setting aside & special period in which those outride the Church will be visited by laymen and urged Lo become Christians, \u2018There should be at least a brief period of training for those who are to carry on thig program of personal evangelism in the local \u2018Church, Such services by laymen will result not only in securing \u2018permanent accessions to the Church, but also in enriching the religious experience of all who participate.\u2019 (5.) We believe that there sbould be à definite attempt on the part of all Churches to secure an autmn ingathering, planning just as specifically for this aa for the ingathering in the pre-Baster season Federal Council Bulletin.\u2018 CARRY ON It you make a meas of things, Carry on.Birds must learn to ose thelr wings, on.Just at feet they cannot fy, Later on they have to try\u2014 It they do not, they will die, Carry on.Are you np against it bad?Carry on.What's the use of looking sadt Carry on.- Sweep away all doubt and gloom, Use on them your newest broom, At the top there's heaps of room!

\u2018 - BOREDOM \u201cBoredom,\u201d as Dean Inge writes in his exquisite little volume, Personal Religion and the Life of Devotion, \u201cis a certain sign that we are allowing our best faoul- ties to rust in Idleness.When p are bored, they generally Jook about fof a new pleasure, or take 8 holiday.There is uo greater mistake: what they want is some hard piece of work\u2014some produce tive drudgery.Doctors are fond of sending their fashionable patients to take a restcure.In nine cases out of tea, a work-cure would do them far more good.\u201d We heard of a physiclan recently who enclosed a prescription in an envelope and esked bis patient to read it when she rcached home, and to act upon it.She read there a simple recommendation to seek out poor children and bring some joy into their lives.gHe had correctly disgnosed her complaint: part of her na tare was starved.one of the strongest instincts in her had found no vent.How much of what we take to be disease of the nerves is due to the suppression of the religious sentiment?God gave us talents 10 use; if we bury them in the earth, or only use them in part how can wa expect to live healthily?.\u2014_\u2014 THE WRONG PULL \u201cI wish I was like old Prince!\u201d was the exclamation of a young fellow who kad, as he phrased it, \u201cprecipitated a mix-up\u201d by his hasty refort to a tactless but well- meant speech.\u201cOld Prince.\u201d he went on, \u201chas got more sense than I have.Cousin Annie drove him to the town yesterday.She can't drive a little bit, and she nearly got into a mix-up because she pulled on the wrong rein, trying to back Prince out of the way of a carriage.1 was going by and saw the whoie thing.Before I could get to her, if old Prince hadn't stopped short, and torned his head to look at her, as much as to say, \"That was the wrong pull; I'll wait here until you give me the right one!\u2019 Yes, sir, he just saved a smask-up by waiting there till he got the right pull!\u201d Tactiess, inconsiderate, unkind words are our \u201cwrong pulls\u2019 The only notice we need take of them fis to suggest, like old Prince, that we are expecting the right pull, the pleasant and kindly word, and to make no moves that are ill-judged and harmful in results at the mere jerk of the wrong rein.The right pull will come In time if we help it along.\u2014Christian World.Librarians throughout the world have discovered some vandals who have a curl ous though highbrow sort of hobby.It is in collecting title pages of books.Particularly books printed in the early years of the printing art are attacked and tbosé bearing title pages made from fine steed plates are often tilched, ; NOTE GIVEN BY INFANT Enquirer asks: Can à promissory not man who is onder age\u2019 be dress.HUMANITARIAN ACTIVITIES OF THE LEAGUE B.G.B., Subscriber.\u2014Knowiag the interest you tate om the prohibition question, I am writing to ask if you could supply me with any help far a paper which !

114 mil lion of which is in Europe.Wheat Production 1924 , Out of a total of 45 countries (except Russia) the 18 countries 30 far reposted by the International lastitete of Agriculture furnish about 65 per eent of the total world\u2019s production.The 1924 crops] of these 16 countries are estimated to have produced 1,995.829.000 bushels compared with 2,265.692,000 for 1923, a de- «rcase of 269,863.000, of which 84,861,000 fa Europe.Estimates made from the latest reported conditions and average Yields for the remaining 29 countries give a total of 1,097,480,000 bushels, compared with 1,202,813,000, the official figures of the previous year, or a decrease of 106,- £33,000, of which 61,910,000 in Europe.There is, therefore, an indicated world's shortage of about 375 million bushels, of which the official figures for North America account for 164 million.This ts in sharp contrast with last year, when the world's total \u201cexceeded that of 1923 by about 261 million.DRAINAGE HINTS (Daily Telegraph, London) LA is probably impossible to install an ideal system of drainage within n farmyard which has not been specially design- od for the purpose; and\u2014at the date when most existing buildings were erected\u2014it was common to lay rather less stress upon hygienic and economic conditions than is the custom nowadays.There are, however, several poinis which must not only be regarded as almost essential, but wbich also lend themselves fairly well to adaptive purposes.Gutters within buildings should be open throughout their entire length.rounded in cross-section, and the latter will be better If in circumference it slightly falls short of a semi-circle.A rounded section makes for ease in flushing out, while the edges next to the animale require to be bevelled In order to |.minimise risk of injury.The \u201cfall\u201d of an interior gutter need not be great, though, needless to say.It should never be dispensed with.At the \u201cbMnd\u201d end à convenient tap, to which a hosepipe may be attached, will greatly facilitate flushing.Channels serving sick boxes, it these latter have to be housed under the same roof, should discharge independently to the exterior, for the joining of such gutters to the mala open chan- hel involves risk of infection.Outside the building, a trapped gully will serve for the collection of all interfor drainage.This latter is led by covered impervious pipes to a liquid manure tank or covered yard.Where {lie difterence in level between covered yard and buildings will not permit of an adequate \u201cfall,\u201d the Installation of a tank ie inevitable.This may usually be placed at a convenient level, and should ination.From the storage tank connection is made to the several interior points ot utilization.Stile water should not be allowed to accumulate within the building.ROUGH HANDLING OF LIVE STOCK The breeding and feeding of bacon hogs involves a great deal of skill and bard work, and among breeds and types of swine, the bacon hog represents by far the most successtul effort yet made to meet market requirements both at home and abroad.\u2018The hog is not a hardy animal and probably in injured more easily than either cst'le or sheep.Despite this fact, he is satisfactory equipment and unwise hand- dling on the part of those through whose lands the live stock passes om its way from farm to the killing fioor.Every scar and bruise means a loss in carcass value, and this loss means a leveling of market price to partly offset the lowering of the quality of the affected meat.During a recent four-month period, 34, 000 hogs were carefully examined, s0 as to ascertain the extent of bruising and scarring.Over 5,000 or 15 per cent showed effects of rough usage.In some ceses the hog carcasses wers depreciated in value by as much as $5, and the aver-|' age loss amounted to $2.50 per hog.Since over 2,500,000 hogs are slaughtered at packing plants each year, the above facts- indicate that in every twelve months, 375,000 hogs are damaged to the extent of a monetary loss of over $300,000.The damage rated on the basis of the per head value of hogs sold in 1933, is equal to the selling price of 58,000.Leas damage means better prices, fewer bruises\u2014a higher quality.product.Horns are Weapons of Offence and their possession by cattle is res ible for fighting and general distui in feed lot and on pasiure.Cattle th horns at tack and so injure one another that when marketed they dress out to great disadvantage.On that account, dehorn- ed cattle sell at better rates than horned cattle, and command more money when bought for feeding.Horus are a commo= source of restlessness in cattle and as such are responsible for a lack of weli-doing on pasture; in this way, they become a positive drawback to fattening.Almost any day, one may find from ten ia one hundred or more scarred and bruised beef carcasses hanging in slaughterhouse cooling-rooms, and eligible only for si-cond-class trade.Carcasses disfigured because of the cutting out of bruised portions and other carcasses more or less scarred represent a deteriorition in qual- fiy, responsible for a monetary loss of over $1,500,000 annually.This loss, add- cd to the loss previously jncurred on pas ture, is a striking indictment against horns.«If you will bud your calves and dehorn your older cattle, this millstone on the industry will be removed thereby.Cooperative Effort Required Producers\u2019 live stock organizations, live mercies of Judge Choquette.farm in Alberta.often the subject of much more abuse than are other classes of meat animals.Unfortunately as regards hogs, the effects of rough handling are very pronounc ed.and the losses resulting much more severe than in other stock.Every year thousands of hogs arrive on the market in a more or lass badly bruised condition, due to causes largely wvoidable.In this way, the producer's six months of effort to meet market needs with a high class product is more or less effectively defeated in the space of a few hours.Quality determines the relative selling price of live stock.A bruised carcass sells at a discount, and the producer ul timately bears part of the financial loss nvolved as a result of a depreciation of value In the dressed animal, dus to damage in the live animal.Bruising is rarely the result of intentional abuse, but rather of the use of un- \"SECOND ATTEMPT TO GET INTO CANADA PROVES SUCCESSFUL John Cassidy of Glasgow and his family, who have arrived in Canada with \u2018he third Hebridean party of settlers, destined for Alberta.Cassidy's second attempt to get into Canada was more successful than his first.in September last year ou the Cassandra, and was handed off the sbip to the tender The kind-hearted Judge was so impressed with Cas- sidy\u2019s sincerity that, although he deported Him under the law, he promised to faciiitate his speedy return to Canada.Father MacDonell in the meantime brought hins with his Scottish and Irish settlers, and the Land Settlement Branch is placing him on He came as a stowaway stock commission men, stock yards companies, drovers: packing house men, railways and others, are working together in sn effort to reduce the heavy losses from truises.\"These bodies have.pledged themselves to instruct their employees as to the careful handling of stock, and also to check up their live stock equipment so as to remove iu so far as possible, known causes\u2019 of brulses incurred by live stock, passing through their hands.Cooperation is earnestly requested in this work.The farmer will be doing his part, If he will help to provide the following conditions and services: \u2014 Proper chutes for loading hogs from pen to wagon.{In this way no sticks or whips would be necessary.)

IN CATTLE The stifle joint in an animal is the one at the flank and corresponds te the human knee in that it is formed of the bones called femur of thigh bone above, tibia, or leg bone, below, and patella, or knee cap, in front.It is such à large complicated joint that an injury or sprain of the part is a most serious matter, while disease of the joint usually proves imcur- of the joint often is followed by infection which proves fatal.In cattle there are also unusually™large condyles or projections of the bones forming the joint and one of these may be broken off if the animal receives a kick from a horse or strikes the part hard against a door post or other obstacle When that occurs gangrene of the surropnding tissues and skin is liable to occur and the Injury then proves fatal.When an adult shows a chronic and mysterious lameness of the stifle joint, with mo known cause and only a slight amount of swelling or sensitiveness when handled, apply the tuberculin test at once as tuber- calosis of the joint is a possibility \u201cand not infrequently met with.The disease is incurable and necessitates destruction of tho affected animal.When & wrench or sprain has affected the

water.This is explain- td by the fact that the bird's body is over helt water and every egg laid is over two- thirds water.Furthermore water |s à vaiu- ele agent in facilitating ané bringing about proper digestion and assimilation of the foed in the bird's body.It regulates their body temperature and take It all in all, & is the ome most essential part of thelr diet.It is the ome part which they cannot get along without.Then again, here is something to consider.Watering the flock is a most expensive operation in caring for the birds, as i is ordinarily handled.Ome hundred birds will drink in a day from 16 to 25 quarts of water, depending upon season and amount of production.They will obviously drink much more water during the tong days of summer and especially lots of water will be comsumed during hot weather.5t is a known fact that birds drink very materially increased amounts of water when laying heavily as against their only J laying a limited number of eggs.We have then In the water supply of the layers.a most important part of their diet and the ane which involves the greatest amount of labor of any operation in caring for them.The watering problem becomes then one .of keeping a mAXimum amount ot clean, pure water before the birds all of the time, and in doing this in a way which will reduce the amount of labor required to à minimum.This problem is present with every poultry flock, whether it be 16 or a dosea birds in your backyard or a few fmadred on the farm, or à few thousand on a commercial pouitry farm.Of course, the more birds, the greater the problem, bé- tasse the more water must be got to thém.Water Vessois There are many kinds and types of water devices all the way from the opea pan, located om an elevated platform, to which the water is brought from a source a con- alderable distance away in pails, through varying types of semi-automatic and automatic devices up to the most complicated, yet the most efficient water fountains in the nature of a comtinuoms supply, automatically controlled and automatically bested, to prevent (reesing.Lot us stop for a misute and \u2018wes just what each of these types offers and some of the special features which stould be considered in their erection.The waler vessels, no matter of what _kind, should be clevated abeve the floor about two f+et om slatted platiorms: The slatted platform allows the droppings te fall through to the floor, where they are quickly mixed with the litter and dried out.Slats two imches wide, placed two inches apart, make ideal platforms for the water fountains.Where the Open pans are used, they should be protected with a hoed or some device to keep the birds from walking and standing in the water.When they can do this they add much Sith to the water making it insanitary and anclean for them to drink.Also getting {heir feet wet and molstening the litter wastes much water and makes it necessary te refill the fountains more frequestiy.For the smal! flock poukryman wbo has à few birde for bis family use the open pen aystem is the cheapest and most eff- tient, for in all probability one pail of water each day will be sufficient for the Virds, and it is not a great amount of la- Bor to provide this.Remember, however, to elevate the water pan om a slatted platform with a projecting hood to keep the birds out of the water.- A second common type of drinking vessel is the open pail set in an elevated rack Or platform, the surface ot which should be siatted same na for Lhe shallow pan, except that the pail sets down into the piat- form about half its depth.This method fe quite commonly employed where water Res to be carried to the birds.Am extra pait is usually provided and when à full gall of fresh water Is brought in it is wet in the support, the empty pail washed owt, disinfected and filled with water for the next pan.The objaction to these deep pall watering methods is the fact that the water iy not used in a quarter or bottom half of the pall.It is so deep down that the birds cannot reach it to drink it readily, ao # ja necessary te trameport more water than they actually consume.The shallow pon mathod is probably the mast efficient.MONTREAL WITNELS AMD GAN ADIAN HOMESTEAD, AUGUST 77, WM.Mont Efficient Methods Now we come to the last and best types on the market.Many of them have been develapeé by commercial poultrymen for their own use; otbers have been developed by students and research people on- gaged in the study of poultry husbasdry and are made by certain manufacturing concerns.One of the most efficient of these types is the chicken drinker laventsd by Prof.Roy K Jonca of the Connecticut Agricultural College.These devices are so arranged that the flow of water in continuous into the foumeain, except when the water reaches the desired level the float automatically closes the intake valve, thus maintaining a constant level of drinking water in the vessel.Whatever type of automatic drinking device is used, i should be aimple in type and constructien in order that it may easily be cleaned.heavily, they drink a comsiderabie amount of water.The problem at this time of the year is the danger of water freezing.so it Is always necessary, whem a heavy winter production Is desired.to provide tome means of heating the water im the fountains; not hot, but at some point where it will not

Looking over the list of my acquaintances, who have made siriking successes ia the poultry business, it seems to me that poultry keeping attracts men of ratb- er high mental calibre.This may be a strong statement bat somehow the business seems to appeal particularly to clergymen, doctors, retired business men, teachers and others.Possibly this is because of the fact that but little capital is required to make a start.Getting down to facts, there is no branch ot farming which requires more attention to detail thaa poultry keeping.You can aot aegiect the bens for even one day with- oùt serions results.Why, then.db so many take s0 much _pride in their flocks?[ expect the poultry shows and the large increase in the pure-bred flocks has been largely responsible.Then, also, it is pretty generally understood that poultry is about the surest crop om the farm.Trus, there are occasional sethacks, as .a everything else, but in the main, poultry re- tarns a steady income.Properly handled, there is probably less risk with pouitry than with any other live stock.The poultry business requires serious study.There are problems continually cem- ing up which require solution.Of course many of these have been solved for us by the colleges and experiment stations, but occasionally something comes up and there ls no precedent to tell us how to cope with the situation.We should, then, have a good foundatiem of poultry information to fall back upos.1 would advise anyone who coatemplates taking up the pouitry basiness to start in a small way and learn as he builds up his foek.There have been a number of faii- ures among my acquaintances simply because the start was made with 1.000 or more baby chicks.They thought it was a get-rich-quick scheme and tLey did mot wish to delay the millionaire stage.They started big and ended \u2014 just when they sheuld have been learning the fundamen- tale.1 have read the advice of pouitry experts in which it was recommended that the prospective poultry maa hire out oa a large place and work for a year beforw starting for himself.This is good advice it a fellow wishes to start big.but if ane is content to start small, and learn as he grows, there Is no reason why there need be any delay.One of the surest ways to baild up a ron-down farm is in poultry keeping.When you have learned tke business if a large flock is kept, you ean inerease the fertility of your acres rapidly.T kmow a case where à young man rented a farm with a proviso Im the lease that a certain number of cows or live stock should be kept.The renter kept his agreement for two years.He also started in the hen business and was keeping 1008 birds at the end of two years.Then he went to the farm owner and showed him that by increasing his poultry Sock to 2,080 er more.the resuiting benefit to the farm would equal that obtained from the live stock.The owner accepted the subatitute and the agreement has been carried on fer several years to the satisfaction of bath partles.\u2014 Mrs.E.B.N., in Indiana Farmer\u2019s Gaide.Worms la Turheys It is sometinves necessary to treat turkeys for little while worms, a modersie number of which do Mile

poultryman at seme time or other has designed a special type of house to meet his ows particular needs.In too many jastances we sen flocks that are giving excellent returns in peor houses but in such cases, it is the man behind the feed pail that is responsidie, in spite of the poor equipment.A poultry , should be planned to fit tbe Bock the feck culled each year to preperiy fill the building, When one tries to pat several times as many hems tm the house as it should hold, poor results can be expected.Since mest (arm flocks are carried fn 100 hen multiples, à 20x38 building should be the feandation unit.A 20-foot depth is about the maximum that ome cam use in a gable roof house without having a front elevation that is out of proportion.Is the same way a Minimum depth of 16 feet is as mArrow as a house shouid be planmré.Since} à front ventilator is need.the birds must be roosted back far enough to avoid the influence of the intake.A square building is the cheapest type to construct as it requires the smsiest amount of total wall construction.While à 30x20 unit requires S@ feet of wall com struction, a 19x#0, which bas the same fleor space, requires 100 feet.The 440 square feet will accommodaté about 100 of the heavier fowls permitting four square feat per bird, or 126 of the smaller breeds.such as legborns, that requires 3x3 1-2 square feet.As the sise of the Sock decreases

the poultry house to the heme and the graa- ary.A good flock is a good poultry house can be placed im sight as part of the (arm buildings while à poor, mongrel flock in a makeshift building is gemerally stuck as far away as the other buildings Will pert The house shouid face the south om a spot that has good natural drainage and is not overshadowed by other buildings.Abundant suniight is required in the interior and it canmot be so arranged, dur ing tbe winter, if some larger structure throws a shadow over it at all dlmes except for an hour at noon.All parts of the floor must be elevated 8 to 19 inches above the ground level.this means that drainage must be comsid- ered.A well drained spot will permit the flock to rasge earlier in the spring than a bog that never dries out.-Whea an east and west slope must be used, the floor at the lowest point must be placed a foot above the ground level and the other end brought we as high as wecessary to have the floor level, Never defeat the entire purpose of building by running any part below ground level and do not build into a bank for warmth.\u2014ficad\u2019s Dairyman PONT BPEPEND ON WRITRW ASN A grent many

Toronto, Professor C.R.Fay, of Toronto University, said:\u2014 Agricukere as a business differs in important respects from manufacturing industry.The unit of production is small, the farmer provides the bulk of the labor bimsel!, and the remuneration is for various reasons abnormally low.The farmer is the foot soldier of economic life.Among remedies for agricultural dis- Sreou'the most important is co-operative or- ganizition, especially for commodity marketing.Co-operation reacts healthily on farming technique, and, the farmer's fin- «nos.Is there in addition & law of Diminishing Returns in Agriculture which dis- tingwishes it from other occupations?Déminishing returns per factor of production is a scientific faet.It applies to the several elements in production.Scientific a full use of the soil, though how full the use wiil be depends on the price obtainable for the product.But this does not prove Diminishing Returns in the productivity of Agriculture as a whole in relation to the world demand for food.Diminishing returns is often used as syn- onamous with intensive farming.This is legitimate and leads to misconception.Food production or improved land per head ie & fallacious

than soil exhaustion because less easy to re Place is the waste of fixed stocks of na tural resources, such as timber and oil.As these approach exhaustion higher prices must be faced.Diminishing returns as a general law of political economy was enunciated by Edward West in 1916.It was a hasty gen- eraMsation from war conditions.Free trade and the opening-up of the new world permitted Great Britain to be fed nore cheaply in 1914 than in 1800.As retained in economic treatises, diminishing returns is a truism.The extensibility of supplies of the staple foods\u2014wheat, pig meat, and milk

Formerly it was woven from camel's hair, but the price of that product went to such high levels as to prohibit its use.After a series of tests, a method was devised for weaving human hair in specially constructed machines.The search for a sufficient swp- ply to keep the factory going ended ia China, where buyers found a veritable army of coolles ready to sacrifice their long queues for American money.Bound in huge bales, the hair arrives at the factory ready for weaving, having already been inspected and sterilised on the way over from the Orient.Combed and carded, it is twisted into threads and fed into the looms, where It is woven into rolls ef cloth half an inch thick, the bolt weighing 400 pounds.Cruel ela % ed a LR NST iy TONTEEN wonrnaar Rurnnss AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, AUGUIY 17, WM.For Poung People | THE HABITS OF CUCKOOS For hundreds of years the cuckoo has been ons of the birds considered most interesting and mentioned most often in European literature.This is partly be cause of its unusual note expressed, as the rhetoricians have it, onomatopoetically in its name, which is a direct expression of the sound of its song, but also because of {ts singular habits, The European cuckoo is, in fact, morally depraved, if we may consider animals to have any sort of a conscience.Instead of building its own mest and incubating its own young, as is the highly proper habit of birds in general, Ît lays its exgs in the nest of a neighbor of different species.When the young cuckoo hatches beneath the brooding wings of its foster mother, it proceeds to kick out its smaller and weaker foster brothers and sisters of the original breod or else the uuhatched eggs.The foqlqr parents, strange to say, instead of resenting this unwarranted intrusion fin their domestic affairs, appear to reconcile themselves to e situation willy-nilly, and proceed to the greedy stranger which has mur dered their own offspring, and this with devoted care.We are happy to say that this monstrous habit is peculiar to the European cuckoos, as a general rule.The American cuckoos, both of the black-billed and yellow-billed species, usually bulid à nest of sorts rude ly constructed of sticks and look after their own young, though oocasionally they are known to follow the sneaking: habits of their Old World cousins by laying am egg in the nest of à smaller bird.All of the cuckoos, whether of the Old \u2018Worf or of the New World, are migratory fa their habits, except those which nest in the tropics.In England and Europe generally the cuckoo is regarded as the harbinger of spring and to this fact much of its fame is due.The writer well remembers hearing with pleasure the note of the cuckoo in the charming country in the vicinity of Richmond upon the Thames, in England.and being startled by Its very precise resemblance to the staccato accents of à Swiss cuckoo clock.The American cuckoos have a rather different mote: a long, rolling sound end- fag in coo, coo.coo, or cow, cow, cow.All of the cuckoos have one virtue, sg far as mankind is concerned, in that they devour certain spiny and hairy caterpillars which are repugnant to other birds.We learn that one hundred and twenty- eight autopsies upon this bird have disclosed that eighty-eight per cent.of its food consists of injurious insects, including the coleoptera as well as night-flying moths, dragon flies, and.above all.ite favorite food.those woolly caterpillars which are rather too much for most other birds to stomach.It is a foe In particular of that dangerous enemy of the oak tree, the proceesionsry caterpillar, of which the late J.H.Fabre has written so entertainingly.\u2014American Review of Reviews.Faith With Works | \u201cDo you.believe in athletics?\u201d a con tributor to \u201cPunch\u201d asked a well-kmown London busihess man who was found practising with the dumb-belis at the back of his warehouse the other day, \u201cCertainly I do,\u201d he promptly replied.Think it is good for your healthy\u2019 \u201cI know it ie Why, a couple of years ago ! took twenty-four lessons im boxing and worked up a big muscle.I was going home one night, whe a man jumped out at me from the aliey.In a minute he was nowhere.\u201d \u201cHit him hard.eh?\u201d \u201cNo; I didn't hit him at all.\u201d \u201cTrip him up and fall on him?\u201d \u201cNo.\u201d \u201cDidn°t kick him?\u201cNo.\u201d \u201cWell.what did you do?\u201d \u201cOutran him!

That's where you should have begun; that's worth much more than your melon\u2014I make you Chevalier of the Empire, with a pension of twelve hundred francs.Are you content?\u201d \u201cBut sire, I prefer the cross.\u201d \u201cYou have both, since 1 make you Chevalier.\u201d \u201cI would rather have the cross.\u201d The honeat grenadier would not depart, and it was with great diffieuity he was made to understand that the title of Chevalier of the Empire carried with it that of the Legion of Honor.He was satisfied on this point only when the omneror had fastened the decoration on his breast, and he was infinitely more pleased by that than by the pension of twelve hundred francs.\u201c WHEN LITTY CAME It any ome had told the Holdens that Grandma Holden was unhappy, they would have been much distressed and not a little indignant, Did they not do every- thimg for her\u2014give her the best room in the house, lovely clothes and beautiful presents?Were they not careful not to let her overdo, or go out when it was damp or windy?Mr.Holden, no matter how tired he was.or how worried over business matters, always greeted her with a cheery, \u201cWell, mother, how are you!\u201d And Nrs Holden and Rosamond always kissed her night and morning, Of course they did not talk to her much, because\u2014well, for instance, she had never heard of Pater or Symonds, and so she would not be interested in the Liter ary Society; and she thought it was dread- fui for women to have anything to do with \u201cmen's business,\u201d and so it was no use to talk to her about the Civic Club; and of course she could not talk football with Tom or Art League with Rosamond.So the busy whirl of life went on round her, and she sat apart with her thoughts and her past\u2014unti] Kitty came.Kitty was Kitty Manning, the daughter of an old friend of Mrs.Holden, and she came for a long visit.She was such a sweet, happy.interested little thing that every one felt her charm in two minutes, end even grandma bezan to taik.Some thing Kitty said reminded her of her old garden.and of the way the tiger-lilies crowded under her window: she had told of the tiger-lilies and the snowberry bush when Mrs.Holden interrupted gently: \u201cI'm afraid Kitty won't be interested in your garden, mother.\u201d Grandma stopped at once, and the gay talk of the young people awept over her silence.But that night, when she was sitting in her room In the dark, there came, a tap at the door.May I come In?\" Kitty asked.\u201cSurely, dear,\u201d grandmother answered, bewildered.\u201cBecause,\u201d Kitty said, \u201cI want to hear more about the garden, and the old lane, and oh, so many things!

do things that are like anticipations of human activities.The wasp makes paper out of wood pulp; the waterspider weaves an aquatic cradle and fills lt like a diving-bell with dry air; the little gossamer spiders, carried through the air on their silken threads, are in a sense balloonlists; the trapdoor spider is a hinge-maker; one of the agricultural ants makes biscuits and dries them in the sun; the shrike hangs its meat on the thorns of the hedge; the young ant-lion makes a pitfall in the sand for unwary insects; the weaver-birde interlace long leaves of grass in fashioning their pendant nest.And s0 we might continue\u2014but our tmmediate inquiry is on another line.In many cases animals anticipate man, not in what they do, but in having structures which are like human tools; but there are not more thas a few human în- ventions which can be shown to bave been suggested by Natural History.Perhaps there would have beem more 1f the study ot animal lite had come to its own at an earlier \u2018date.We firmly believe, writes Professor Thomson, in \u201cJoha o' London,\u201d that there is fame and fortune awaiting the man of inventive genius who will condescend to study animal achievements.Why should the fire-fiy beat us in solving the problem of the most economicai file mination?\u2014_\u2014 FREAK SHADOWS IN CRUDE OlL In the great oflregions of California, pools crude petroleum are quite commonly deen.Here the ofi is allowed to remain until it is stored away in barrels.One of the curiosities of the district is the freak shadows which these ponds of crude oil produce.If, when the sun fs shining brightly, a person shadow falls across the surface of the petroleum, a very remarkable thing happens.Should the individual change bis place, strange to say, the first shadow stands so that his|- remains on the ofl, while the person casts a second shadow from his new position.The longer the individual has been stand ing by the oil pond, the longer will the original shadow remain.The explanation of this mystery is sim ple: Under the influence of the hot sun, gan is freely produced in the crude oll, This rises to the surface\u2019 in the form of millions of bubbles far too misate to de noticed by the human eye.When a sha dow is cast over the surface of the pet: roleum the temperature is reduced, and this has the effect of checking the production of.bubbles.The result is that the shaded area is exposed to the sun.Now, when the persom moves the temperature of the ofl which bas been shielded from the sun does not at once get back its former warmth.It takes a little time to heat, and, until this actually happens, the shadow effect persists, giving the curjous appearance which has been described.\u2014 \u2014=8t.Nicholas.Two French

above all others, it-was writing a composition.And to make a bad matter worse, all compositions written by the pupils of Mayville school were laid before the school committee and the best ones were chosen to be read oh Visitors\u2019 day, and a prise was awarded the one that visitors and pupils voted to be the most interesting.- Every time the prise was awarded Howard had to swallow hard to conquer the lump that would persist in swelling up in his throat amd choking him.Wistfully he listened as the names of those who had won special mention were read, but his name was never among them.\u201cAnd it ian\u2019t because I haven't tried,\u201d he told May Reilly his playmate.\u201cI've tried just as hard as I could and wrote whole sheets full of words and the committee just toss

teacher we would get expelled, or something dreadful would happen.\u201d \u201cI don't care it I do get expelled\u201d grumbled Howard.But hig glance fell before May's astonished blue eyes.He knew very well that he did care in spite of his pretended carelessness, and he felt suddenly ashamed, as May continued to stars at him.It seemed to him that she was asking him a question as plainly as if she had spoken it aloud.His cheeks grew suddenly hot and red.\u201cT s'pose you think I'm a coward.\u201d he told her.\u2018Well, I don't think you're very brave, it you don't keep tgying to win the prize,\u201d said May plainly.\u201cIt's trying that counts.\u2019 Howard dug one toe into the dirt, \u201cI'm sorry I said T wouldn't try any more,\u201d he confessed honestly.\u201cI will Put I

was so much in earnest that he could not for- xet what she had said.\u2018Fhe next day was Saturday, and Howari took a lunch and set out for Deering's Woods while the dew wih yet on the grass, In hin

blossoms of the witch hasel.- \u201cI wonder how many people know that the witch hassel blooms ia October instead of in the summer,\u201d he thought.He stopped and examined the queer seed pods, from

Howard counted the various kinds of seeds he saw them eat.He was astonished at the number.He was so happy taking notes that he almost forgot his rea! reason for his note book.But that night he sat down and wrote the first composition he had ever enjoyed writing \u201cI don\u2019t suppose it will win the prise,\u201d he thought a little soberly.\u201cBut anyway I've had a good time writing

a well-known electric company sent out photographs of a set that had been built by an amateur.It was stated that \u201ca close examination of the set shows that no expense or effort was spared in providing every possible adjustment for better operation.The receiver consisted of eleven UV 199 Radiatrons arranged as follows: first de\u2019 tector, oscillator, six stages of intérme- diate frequency amplification, second detector and two stages of audio frequency amplification.The set was built for operation on an outdoor antenna, and has the necessary coil system and variable condenser for tuning the antenna.There is a loose coupler feeding the first detector tube, the coupling being variable; then there is, of course, the condenser for tan- ing the oseillator and two more condensers for tuning the intermediate frequency amplification.\u201d .Such an elaborate piece of electrical mechanism with fis maze of wires and its rows of knobs and peep places like the portholes of a steamship, would discourage Any amateur who is not an accomplished engineer from attempting to build a radio set.But radio Is possible to anyone of ordinary intelligence, and a schoolboy with bis single peanut tube, his home-wound coll, his 33-condenser, his P.M.G.L.(pencil mark grid leak, also home made), his stretoh of insulated wire and his headphones, can often bring in results almost as wonderfui as those obtained with many expensive tubes and other parts of a juzur- fous super-set.It is better to build one\u2019s own than buy a set ready made, for it not only saves money, but jt imparts inetruc- tion and gives thé experience necessary to manipulate a set and know what to do when it refuses to bring in XYZ and continue the program.Bufiding a set at home is half the pleasure of radio.\u2018 < WAVES OF INTEREST Clean the set regularly and free the baseboard of small nuts, pieces of wire or other material that gets into corners amd may cause trouble, Pipe cleaners are cheap and very useful for passing between tle plates of a condenser to remove dust.Keep all connections short as possible, especially the grid and plate connectlons, and see that these do not run parallel or near to one another.It may be artistic to make right-angled turns in the wiring, but it oftem happens that it lengthens unnecessarily a connection that should run direct.Where wires cross they should do so at right angles, and be separated an ifich or so at least to prevent accidental contact.: It is weil to insulate battery wires and exposed leads with good cambric spaghetti {avoid the cheap variety), but most of the wiring of the set may with advantage be left uncovered.\u2018Use buss wire\u2014square or round\u2014for ali connections\u2014except where flexible wire is needed\u2014using tinned copper lugs at binding posts.This is better than soldering the wide directly to the part, unless it can be done neatly and cleanly without leaving flux on the joint.Especial care should be taken not to ap- Ply a het soldering iron too near a fixed mica condenser.Be careful not to \u201cspring\u201d the plates of condensers, either variable or fixed, when tightening nuts and screws.The pane] should be moisture-proof.If it absorbs moisture, dust and dirt will collect and provide a path for ieakage of high- frequency current between terminals.Two dry cells connected in parallel will prove more economical than one, but care must be taken not to connect them In series if only 1 1-3 volts is needed for the lament, otherwise the tube may be burned out.Parallel connection of cells means that the positives are joined together, and the negatives are joined together, then one positive and one negative form the poles of the combination, In series connection the positive of one eell fe joined to the negative of the other cell, increasing the voltage.Thus, two cells in series glve double voltage, three cells treble, otc.When using a storage battery, it is well to remember that ammonia guickly neu- trallxes acid if the Iatter is accidentally Spilled on the flbor.en you vary your coupling it will re- Quire a change in your condenser values.Dry cells Gannot be recharged.Instead of a coupler -with a tapped primary, it is a good experiment in simple regenerative sets to try a periodic coupling\u2014 say 1 to 30 turns of wire for primary, and about 60 turns for secondary, wound on the same 3 Inch tube, and separated by 1-4 inch space.This reduces loss NOISE IN THE RECEIVER Scratching noises in a radio receiver seem to be the nolses that are prevalent in most sets that are noisy.These noises may be due to one or more of several causes.Those fans having sets that are scratchy will do well to read over the following list and then look over their sets for the points mentioned.The first place to look for trouble is the aerial and ground.It there is any corrosion in any of the joints they should be taken apart and cleaned.Then resoldered.Any joint that is not soldered is liable to cause scratchy noises in the phones.The next place to look for trouble in this line is on the tube prongs.If there is any corrosion here it should be filled off and the prong preferably given a coating of solder.- Use rosin as a flux In this case.The binding posts on the sockets, rheostats and other parts of the set, if loose, will cause scratchy noises.All nuts should be tightesied with a pair of pliers to eliminate any chance of overlooking one nut.Loose soldered connections in any of the leads in the set will cause scratchy noises and also cHcks that are easily traced by touching the wires when the phones are in the circuit and the tubes lit.Any friction bearings on variable con- dencers, variometers or vario couplers will cause any amount of scratchy noises.It would be better to put pigtail connections on all the equipment that now have this type of bearing and forego the necessity of cleaning the shatts and rods every time the set becomes noisy.Scratchy noises are often due to loose phone connections.This is easily traced by shaking the ph cord while the phones are connected to the set with the tubes tarned on \u2014Proridence Journal.WHAT A POTENTIOMETER DOES A potentiometer is a very useful device in any radio receiving set.The place where it is most oftem employed is in radio frequency amplifiers, where it is used to prevent oscillations by controlling the grid voltage of the radio frequency amplifier tubes.When nsed for this purpose the two outside terminals of the potentiometer are connected to the two A battery terminals and the slider is connected to the grid return of the radio frequency amplifier tubes.Another use for a potentiometer is to vary the plate voltage fcr soft detector tubes.This may be accomplished by connecting negative B battery wire to the slider on the potentiometer and then connecting the resistance coil of the potentiometer across the A battery.With the poteatio- meter coonected in this manner it is possible to vary the B battery potential six volts\u2014ie., when a six voit A battery is used to heat the filaments.A third use for a potentiometer in a receiving set is to increase the resistance of the aerial and in that way reduce the radiation from regenerative \u2018receivers, When the potentiometer is used for this purpose it is connected as a rheostat rather than a potentiometer, for the alider of the poten- tlometer is connected to the aerial, and nne side of the resistance is connected to the aerial binding post on the receiver.The resistance of the average putentio- meter is between 100 and 500 ohms and for receiving sets a potentiometer of about 400 ohms resistance is usually required.HOUSEHOLD THINGS IN RADIO Radio can be an expensive hohby unless you use your ingenuity and the materiy at hand in making simple parts for the set There are many things about the house that you can turn to good use, and that will serve just as well as the specinily made article.The appearance may not be quite so pleasing, but, if results are the object of your experiments you need not worry about the looks.First, consider battery connectors.They «coat from five to twenty-five cents aplece, even in the cut-price stores: but for tem ou cap buy a box of common wire ar clips that ih do al] that the commercial battery clip is supposed to ic.In winding couplers, the two coils should Small be mound Ju.dhe ame diractipe.es The long, narrow kind is the beet: When you have soldered que, apd of.8 clip to a battery wire you can slip the free end over a \u201cB''-battery tab, catch !t under\\the binding post of a dry cell or even slip it into a spring connector by using the free end of the wire.Two clips soldered to a very short piece of wire make a first-rate connector for assembling flashlight cells in making up your own \u201cB\u201d batteries.To make a connector for several headsets sandpaper the paint from a section of quarterinch spiral door spring.Fasten two short pieces parallel on an insulated base.Connect one end of each to a corresponding headset post on the receiver.Force a tip of each hegdset cord into each spring.! What can you do with safety pins?For one thing you can make à simple switch either for the \u201cA\u201d or for the \u201cB\u201d battery.; Cut the shank of a large safety pin id two, bend the cut ends out at right angles and L.sten them to a plece of board with staples in such a position that the pin rests with the pin part uppermost.That leaves the cut sections on the board sepe- rate.Connect a wire to each.When the pin 18 in its socket the circuit is completed; when it is released and points up,\u2019 the circuit is broken.It you have no loud speaker but have a three-tube set, you can broadcast the music throughout the house with a common yellow mixing bowl.China is better than metal.Simply place the bowl on a hardwood table and put three or four headsets in it with the diaphragme towards the bowl.Tip the bowl slightly,, and, if there is any volume at all to the: signals, they will be tho house.Insulators for the antenna can be made at home and will serve just as well as any tc be bought In the shops.For each insulator cut off à two-foot length of garden hose.Tie the holding rope to the middle of the hose, double the hose in a U the openings in the hose.The rubber covering of the hose makes a perfect insulator, and, since the openings of «ha hose point downward from the mast, no rain water can get into them.! You can make an adjustable grid lzak by cutting out the gilt circle in the centre of a phonograph record.Scrape an opening in the circle and pivot i switch arm Jr.the centre hole of the record.Then place a binding post at each end of the lt band and connect them in the usual way with the grid circuit.The switch arm will enable you to obtain any degree of leak by moving it about the circle.\u2014 \u2018The Youth's Companion.COLLEGE OF THE AIR A regular eight months radio college course will be broadcast this fall and winter from radio station KSAC, the Kansas State Agricultural College, Manhattan, Kansas.Courses and a description of the forty subjects are listed in a special 18- page catalogue which is ready for free distribution.The \u201cColleze of the Air\u201d program will be radiocast on a wave length of 341 meters from the 500 Watt Western Electric station now under construction on the \u2018college campus.School will begin promptly at seven p.m.each week night.starting this fall.The extension radio curriculum consists of four general courses: Monday and Tuesday, agriculture; Wednesday, engineering; Thugpday, tome economics; Friday, general science.There is no charge for the work.Radio fans are asked to apply for enrolment In one or all of the forty courges on the extension radio curriculum.A written examination at the completion of the college air program wlll entitle students to a certificate of graduation from the first regular radio extension school ever conducted.This year's course is an outgrowth of a ten week\u2019s program broadcast by the college last fall through station KFKB.Some 1,500 students enrolled [n the short course heard the length ot! and tie the antenna together just below | NINETEEN last year, and thousands of others \u201clistese od in.\u201d Enrollments were received from every state in the Union as well as from Canada and Mexico.The students highly commended the radio course and encouraged the expansion this year.~ \u2014 REQUIESCAT The following letter from a lady in Indianapolis was received by the Radio Âge: Deer Sir, \u2014 Thought | Would write you and tel! you about à very sad event which befell us yesterday.To wit: A great calamity has.fallen upon our home, our transformer mourns, and cannot be comforted.It was only yesterday our tube smiled up to us with sweet and confiding reassurance.But long before dawn it passed into that great beyond from which no tube ever returns.We shed a tear for our vanished playmate, and showered curses upon the terrible \u201cB\u201d battery, whose powerful current no self-respecting filament can long withstand.A strange calm is visited upon our radio, The strains of beautiful music which once poured softly forth from its inmost recesses have died away completely.Even the variometer has become strangely grim and silent.Our grief is more than we can endure; we are breaking under the strajn.It was vengeance.horrible vengeance, but the \u201cB\u201d battery has been paid in full, No longer can it hold a grudge against us for dropping it downstairs.We pray lt shall have no mercy, and may it have to atone to the fullest extent for its destruct.ble sin before it can find peace and happl- ness.Well, it was tough luck and a tube only costs five dollars.so be careful! I have found out that \u201cB\u201d battery doesn't work worth a cent in the filament.RALPH, OIL BLECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES Progress in the electrification of the rafl- ways of the country has not been so rapid and widespread that the steam locomotive would seein to be doomed to immediate ex- | tinction.This.at least.has been Abe opia- \u2018ion even of those engineers who look to lelectrification as the ultimate solution of the motor problem in transportation.A radical change in locomotive design, however, and even the development of methods which will materially alter the !judgments of the experts concerning the economy and efficiency of great central power stations, are forecast in some recent experiments with \u201coil electric loeo- motives\u201d carried on by the New York Central Rallroad in co-operation with the General Electric and the Ingersoll-Rand Com~ panies.These engines, which are a modification for use on the rail of the principle already successfully applied in marine propelling machinery, have shown resuits so remarkable that they foreshadow a revolution In electrical and railway engineering.A sixty- ton locomotive of this type, burning crude oil costing 5 1-2 cents a gallon, has, under practical tests on the New York Central, shown a flexibility of control and freedom trom smoke and noise and at a cost of one- seventh that of a steam locomotive that has amazed all who have watched Its oy- eration.It it be found that the fuel economy re suiting from the use of this type of loce- motive is better, as it is sald to_be, \u201cthan that of the largest power station yet built,\u201d A locomotive that could \u201cmake the rum from New York to San Francisco without a stop,\u201d which is said to be possible with the oil electric type, would not only upset all present plans looking to electrification as at present understood, but relegate the steam locomotive to an extremely narrow field of usefulness.The further development of this railroad traction method will be watched with Intense interest in the railway and financial world.\u2014N.Y.Even ing Post.ter.3 \"SALYING THE SUNKEN GERNAN FLEFT AT SCAPA PLOW The photograph shows a destroyer

his absence orf knew of his reture until he bad been back for several days; and cer.talnly none knew of the little age-battered oak chest which he brought in bis luggage and which under cover of night he placed fm a cleft in the rocks in the side of Blain\u2019s Bluff, taking care to wedge the sntramce to the cleft with a rock over whose fade the moss of many years bad grown.A tew days after his return he went on a trout flehing sxpedition along the little brook which raa through the Hays and Howes\u2019 (arms, and accosted Karle Howes who was working alone on the intervale.\u201cWell, Earle,\u201d he said, \u201care you and Bert stiH ready to take a chance on digging for money\u201d The lads eyes sparkled with excitement and the dure of adventure.\u201cWe're ready to try as soon as Wwe cau gol the time, Mr.Weyman,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd you'rs willing to let we help you?\u201cOf course,\u201d replied Earle, \u201cwe were afraid you would forget about it.\u201d \u201cNo, I'm always ready for a new adventure, though I suppose digging among the rocks along the shore will be more exhausting than exciting.We'll do the work at night, of course, so no one will know.There's & good moon now, and if you boys can get away this evening We might make a start\u201d ; \u201cOh, we\"H manage it all right, trust me for that,\u201d said Earle.* 80, that evening the three equipped with picks, shovels and a crowbar procesded to Blain's Biuff, a rather desolate spot om the shore.\u201cGuess we'd better start by this doal- der,\u201d said Mr.Weyman, \u201cthis would hg 8 likely place for buried treasure.\u201d So the three started digging on the three sides of the rock which jutted out from the bluff.After an hour's hard work and the loss of much sweat, they had excavated a hole several feet deep around the base of the rock, and had found only à few stones.Mr.Weyman wiped the sweat from bis forehead and the doys stowed signs of weariness.À \u201c1 don't believe it's any use to go further here,\u201d sald Mr.Weyman, \u201cwe'll fill this hole np 80 no one will notice it, and & you can come We'll try a new place to-morrow night.\u201d Both boys agreed to return the mext night, though, Bert ruefully remarked that he didn't believe it was any use, .\u201cThere's no harm iu trylag,\u201d said Me.Weyman, \u201cI haven't much faith is it myself, bat it makes a diversion for me, and I'll give you boys a day's pay for each night we work.\u201d Both boys\u2019 faces brightened at this.They needed money and here was à chance to earn some even if they failed in their treasure dunt.\u2018The next night they met again.\u201cNow,\u201d sald Mr.Weyman, \u201cI think a likely piace to hide treasure would be in the side of this bluff among the rocks.There are shelves here where treasure might lay undisturbed for ages.I imagine if we pry out some of the loose rocks Ty will and carities running back several feet.\u201d They tell to work.using crowbars ant

they worked their way to the place where Mr.Weyman had hid the chest.Mr.Weyman purposely passed this, but Marie, noticing the cracks around the rock, placed his far ia, found he could move it, and asked Bert to help him pry it out.\u201cHave you a loose rock there?asked Mr.Weyman.\u201cThere is one just ahsad.\u201d \u201cYes, there is an opening here,\u201d said Earle, and giving a wrench with
