Week\u2019s Outlook Net Plain Sailing LABOR govesnmant no sooner #5 asta oud to better the intolerable ponditions of labor but it has to face fhe sudden addition of half a million workers to the ranks of the unemployed by the way of a strike, redue- ing the available resources of the commiry by the total amount of their dafly product.No sooner does a pacifist government set out on heroic lines to promote: eonditions of mutual confidence betwsen nations such as thunder tones a conspiracy of the country\u2019s former allies to force further atrings in which Egypt was being pliot- od into seif-government than it has suddenly to forward troops from alt years, chiefly in the name of the Prince of Peace, repressed only by the {ron hand of the Turk.Yet a government in sympathy with the pacific purpose of the mandate is faced with efforts on the part of New York Jews ko stir up the United States government against it; a wilful worriment, having, like the abstention of that nation from the world\u2019s great peace endeavor, its real purpose in local politics.It has to be admitted that while ideals of socialism are indeed ideal, socialists will everywhere find that, in so far as they have to do with men and nations, they are up against an unregensrate world whieh has to .be cured from within by apiritual forces and that laws and government action can only follow after.8till It i also true that one of the chief ways of implanting higher truth in the souls of peoples is the struggle for such altruistic institutions and administration as the people can rise to.\u2018That is the task which the great leaders of the present government have set themselves and which they are learning can only be reached through great tribulation.A War of - Races and Religions is natural that a great alarm should prevail among Jews the world over, especially those whose religion naturally centres in Zionism, and those who have friends in Palestine, when that happens which they cannot but feel to be the natural, if not inevitable result of their intru- lon into à land ¥hich another people have, for a thousand years, regarded VoL LXXXIV.Ne.¥7.MONTREAL, SEPTEMBER 4, 1929.a8 their own mother country.Besides the ill-informed scare-headings of the dally press, which the public mind has learned to enjoy as movie thrills rather than as meaning all they shout, a somewhat frantic appeal seems to have been received by Jews everywhere, telling how thelr brethren were being butchered by British arms that made their blood boll against the one power which, accepting extreme hazards, had undertaken io protect them in their anomalous venture.Necessarily, as well as cordially, Britain was trying to carry out her mandate to the best of her ability, a task for which none is better fitted; yet one in which she has more at risk than any other power.It was natural for the ignorant Jews of New York, feeding daily on an anti-British press in English and on an anti-gov- ernment press in Yiddish, to -turn out in thousands to denounce and add to the distress of a greatly overwrought British ministry, one, by the way, probably as much in sympathy with the Zionist movement as any in Christendom, present or past.Yet such as had most sympathy, human or religious, with the Zionist effort to give once more to Jewry à place among the nations, could net escape, however much they might wish to, the necessary conclusion that that nationalist movement must modify the loyalty of its votaries to the nations of thelr dispersion.One might, for instance, gather from the \u201cdemand\u201d forwarded to the British government by certain war veterans in Toronto, that these, on the one hand, looked on Britain's costly support of the Zionist movement as one of natural obligation, not of grace, and that, on the other hand, their own enlistment in the war had been of grace as citisens of Palestine, not of obligation as Canadians and British subjects as we have sild, it was natural that they should be impulsive under the circumstances and that some should wake loud demonstrations of willingaess, as in the days of Joshua, to go with the strong hand and make of the people of the land hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the chosen people.Was not this the land that God had given to their fathers for an everlasting inheritance?Such was not the form of their appeal to the protecting power.That only took the secular form of.claiming that the land was historically theirs.Though that history is glorified by an effulgence which has blased through the world and through the ages as none other oan, chiefly in view of à culmination which they repudiate, these title deeds must look to Heaven, rather than to law, for their vindication, and in these days can only look for it there on a basis not only of Justice, but of fraternal benevolence.That is the basis on which the Zionist leaders have undertaken their enterprise.It is the only one contemplated by the Rritish protectorate.There has, indeed, beer a treaty of goodwlil publicly entered into by the leaders of both peoples.Would that it had been possible among the rank and file on either hand.Plainly the administrative authorities did not aus- .pect such inflammatory conditions.Possibly nobody did.The High Cem- missioner was in England.Administration was going on by the routine of peace time.There may have been conspiracy.The conditions were such as to make it highly probable.The London Times gives forth the considered :udgment that it is impossible not Mth Year.to assume a general plan, and joins other papers in demanding a strict enquiry; which goes without saying, as 3000 4s that can bd brought about.But s momentary flare at Jerusalem would hardly, by any human planning, have spread (n a twinkling over the whole landscape, like wildfire over a valley exhaling sulphur, had the conditions not been highly inflammable, What was more to be looked for than that a people, whose manners and methods survive from the simples\u2019 antiquity, should resent what would appear to them the Satanic enginery of modern and infidel methods imposed upon the people of the land not without some patronizing assumption of superiority, by foreign Invaders.The spark fell into what happened to be the holy place of both faiths.It was at the foundation of the mosque of Omar, noblest of Moslem shrines, with some very special-legends of its own, and it was within the section of the city assigned to the Arabs.It was also the most sacred shrine of the Jewish world\u2014the only relic of thelr old temple, the \u201cWalling Wall\u201d to which they resort from year to year to lament the glory departed.No piace could touch their hearts more keenly.They had obtained official sanction to hold some sort of demonstration there.By a strange mistake of judgment dt would appear that probably under the rule of absolute neutrality, the young Arabs obtained a similar sanction.\u2018That alleged \u201cmischance we shall some day hear more about.We cannot heed the wild stories spread among the Jews by their devotees, of those spread throughout Egyptand Indiaby the Moslem press.There are stories of bomb-throwing, of vitriol poured over worshippers, and so forth.People with leas Oriental imagination told such frantic tales during the great war.Both sides complained of desecration.The sacredest of shrines proved to be the devil's own tinder-box.The torch that kindled suppreased animosity flared all over the land.Six hundred soldiers, suddenly summoned by air and rall from Cairo, soon restored quiet in Jerusalem, though not safety; moat people still kept indoors unless escorted, and sniping was only occasional.Enough of blood had, however, been shed to make excuse for processions and counter processions the world over, as the Communists still have over two convicted murderers who were executed in New England two years ago.That clash at the Wailing Wall set the heather on fire, not only all over Palestine, but ali over Syria and Transfordania, and plunged the British peace-loving government, the most peace-minded in the world, into who knows how large a war.- The Policeman's Let.HE way of the peacemaker js an unpleasant one.All too often he succeeds only in winning the enmity of those he would protect.Such seems to be the luck of Britain in Palestine.Both Arab and unthinking Jewish opinion blame the British for the present outbreak with its unfortunate consequences.The Arabs will undoubt-/ edly hate the British as long as the latter back the Zionist experiment under the Balfour note\u2014they resent tbe presence of British troops in Palestine under the League of Nations mandate.On the other hand, Jewish opinion the world over is that adequate protection would have prevented the killings.Trying to hold the balance Between two sensitive races FIVE CENTS A COPY.and two Intense religions Le à thankless job, but one which no other people can do s0 well as the British.But before Jewish opinion places any blame on Britain they should consider whether they themselves have quite lived up to their bargain.The bargain was not a one-sided affair, with Britain making all the promises.Mutual obll- gations were assumed.The British, under the Balfour declaration, promised to \u201cuse their best endeavor te facilitate the achievement\u201d of making Palestine \u201ca national home for the Jewish people,\u201d and they undertook to oversee the government of Palestine and to protect the inhabitants But the obligation of moving the migrants rested upon the Jews themselves.None but visionaries could have expected much more than the development which has occurred.\u201cWhy,\u201d asked she Jewish ambassador Morgen- thau in his memoirs, \u201cshould he exchange the comforts and opportuni ties of America for the barren existence of Palestine?\u201d American and British Jews, asking themselves the same question, could find no satisfactory answer.Palestine as a national Jewish home is a pleasant dream, it appeais to the imagination, but unfortunately for the success of the dream, materiallem Is winning out ovér romance.Zionism is rapidly losing its hold upon the imagination of practical British and American Jewry, and without their support, both moral and financial, it is today a practical failgre.Dissension among the mem- berahip of the American Zionist organization has practically crippled the effectiveness of that body.The result is that the British, in thelr maridate over Palestine, have not received the support they had a right to expect, and their task has been that much harder.Perhaps the realisation of Mr.H.C.Luke, who was at the unfortunate juncture the acting high commissioner, in the absence of Sir John Chancellor in England meking the acquaintance of the new government there.Mr.Luke may have been unequal to an unexpected emergency.It may possibly be the duty of the government to condemn his failure, when left to- fulfil routine duty he had to face a conflagration.Xf so, such a \u201cdemand\u201d will make it less easy to do 20.Mr.Luke's fault, according to one Jewish paper, is that he has long been suspected of Arab sympathies.Of course, it he had been most painfully neutral he would have been suspected by both asides.The \"Arab press is xs free in its fault-find- ing as is the Jewish.When the Jewish preas turns its guns against Sir Herbert Samuel, himself a Jew, for having been from the beginning of the ogcu- pation too anxious to placate the Arabs, we cannot but see how such writers assume that the people of the the great crusade\u2014if that word may be pardoned for fault of a better\u2014 and those are ill advised who make woreasonable demands upon it.The Snowden Vietery.LLOYD GEORGE, at the moment, at his nadis as a statesman, though sspiring again te the nenith, is certainly = very great journalist, compelling the ear of the world to everything he writes, even if by copyright none may repeat his articles.He takes his readers with him by saying what they think, but have net sald cr thought so clearly.Nothing can be more refreshing than to follow him as he exalts to thetr due seats oh Olympus those Labor statesmen whom but now he railed at at election time as \u201cthe socialists.\u201d Mr.Snowden\u2019s achievement at The Hague could have no more befitting heralding than it has from his party's recent political detractor.He tells how Mr.Snowden\u2019s blunt truth-telling, astonishing all Europe, smashed those traditions of diplomatic fencing whose chief object asemed to be to get nowhere.By risking the unity of Burope, this\u2019 \u201cterrible minister\u201d, as the French call him, this little cripple of the tight lips, has grandly contributed to the peace of.the world by demonstrating how you can convert an international conference into a reality without imperiling international relstions.That had to be done if these gatherings were to become pretentious shams.You can pass any transcendental proposal of world amity with touching unanimity so long as you do not look for action under it, such as scrapping the implements of war.Without such result the fine sentiments expressed are all flap- doodle, This plucky little man af the rasping voice s0 stuck to his guns that henceforth the nations know that when he says a thing it bi so, and he means it.Mr.Snowden\u2019s strength was the strength of truth.It has been followed in France and Italy bv slander \u201cthat foulest whelp of sin.\u201d But the more his position is rubbed the brighter it gets.Were it, as alleged, mere narrow-minded stubbornness to which the nations bad, for pence's sake to give in, how came it that Mr.Snow- den has had, from first to last, an sabwolutely unanimous Empire behind him.° MOST exasperating of all the slander is the underlying implication of all the foreign comment that Britain was holding out against universal accord for a paltry monetary stake.Sach was Britain's appralml after ten years in which she had never for a moment questioned the claims made upen her financial commitments, as all the others had done, though she could have offered muelr the strongest plea; after a decade in which she had voluntarily wiped out her own claims against her Allies, except in 20 far as the same were exacted of ber, in which she had always shown herself ready for sny plan for the general wiping out of debts.Not the faintest note of criticism has been beard in England at the reduction of Germany\u2019s liabilities under the Young plan, nor would there have besn any demur had it geme twice as far.Brit- ais knows better than the powers that have not been meeting their war debts how hard.indeed, impossible, it will * à well-spoken delivery of that witheut a useleas word.It was court- in the days when the King\u2019s potential signet needed knightly guardianship, in him it means foster-{ather one who has risen to a position than\u2019 which earth offers none more bonor- able.Mr.Thomas\u2014that is the plain English of him\u2014had to speak as a member of the Labor government That it was a Labor government it delighted him to accentuate.Being a member of a ministry he had to speak wih that reserve thai becomes one whose word commits the whole.He glorified the British Constitution in which Britain leads the world in democracy.That was proved by the fact that he himself had left the footplate to be welcomed with the freest courtesy into the cbuncils of the nation.Because our constitution is the broadest and best in the world it was all men's duty to defend it, and, as it does not cease to grow, to \u201chand it down still better.\u201cThis old British Commonwealth is in anfe hands,\u201d said Mr.Thomas.\u201cNor is there any tendency to revolution.Labor believes in construction, not in destruction.\u201d Of all things the Labor government wants to eliminate war.To that end it would eradicate the war mind.It would not have the nations even think war, as in terms of competitive armaments.Though Britain\u2019s old predominance in diplomacy was largely due to her capacity for compromise, we must not allow that trait to be taken advantage of.There was a tendency in some quarters to forget that Britain gave a million of her flesh and blood, that she spent forty thousand million dollars, and had been meeting all her consequent obligations, not even waiting for these to come due.Mr.Thomas was able then and there to announce at first hand Mr.Bnowden's triumph at thie Hague, with the assured withdrawel of the occupying troops from the Rhineland, and, what pleased him best, an undertaking on the part of Italy $0 buy three miHion tens of coal from England.He knew what that meant for stranded miners.MR.THOMAS said he knew Canads too well, having often been here before, to Wuste two minutes of the time of his audience in telling how greatly his government valued the relations which held the empire to- prefercnce as it now exists.He liad no such intention.On the other hand, it was certain that no British govern- ve à higher return for what Canada to æil.The Prince of Wales had asked Canadians, among others, for a gift for the distressed miners.Mr.Thomas could testify to the value of the generous responses that had come to that appeal.But its effect could only be momentary.What would cheer the miners most would be to be able te return to their work and earn what they need.The same rule would Xpply to whatever eom- ! the streets in idleness ang to eat the bread of idleness.The natural effect of it was to lose one's taste for work and to sink into confirmed pau- _ perism.There was no artificial method of supplying work to the workless Britain has spent a million pounds on that and 250 million on direct unemployment insurance.Nope lay in the restoration of industry and commerce, it was in that direction that he would ask Canadians to help where they con do so without damage to themselves, and with manifest advantage to Canadian exports.A Large Migration.Mr.Thomas spoke In Montreal, he announced that, as representing the home government, he had laid an important proposal before the government of Canada, which he was not free to declare till it came before Parliament.He could only say that # had no element of placing British workmen where they are not wanted, or in competition with Canadlan labor.From London comes dy wireless what may or may not throw light on the nature of the plans.It tells of a big scheme on the eve of settlement between the British government and that of British Columbia.As outiined in press dispatches, the scheme proposes the establishment of an Empire Development Corporation, to purchase twenty million acres in British Columbia to be settied by 20,006 British familles, whose heads would be provided with work by an ambitious plan of de- véelopment of British Columblas unbounded natural resources by an exploiting company that would raise the necessary funds The margin between the earnings during the first seven years and the interest charges for that period, would, it is stated, be met by the two governments.After that it is hoped, the plan will be self-supporting and eventually produce à handsome return, To these who think of British Columbia as à sea of mountains intersected by productive, but gorgelime valleys the assignment of a thousand acres per family may not seem too much, provided that the new population, and not the exploiters of the intervening company, were the benefieilaries presumably.It may be remembered that some time ago, General McRae, representing a = Cé lumbia constituency in Domin- jon House eropounded such a scheme, but withoul seeuring the approval of the Dominion Government.change of government in the pro- Chamber brought into power the General's political aliles, under Premier Tolmie, Wh was sufficiently

Defence show that whereas, in 1925, there were but five small aviation firms struggling to make ends meet in Canada, last year there were fifty-eight companies, which carried 74,000 passengers and nearly two and a half million pounds of freight as against the 4897 passengers, and six hundred thousand pounds recorded for 1828.To harassed chiefs of the forestry patrols, sirplanes have proved an auxiliary of aimest incaleulnble value in detecting ' fires, particularly during the present summer with the unusual demands made upon the patrol services by the protracted drought in the West.To the prospector and developer of mining claims, the airplane has truly become the magic carpet, converting weeks of weary mushing with snowshoes or dog teams, into a flight of hours.So ready have been our frontiersmen to profit by the new mode of travel that companies organised as a purely speculative venture, without assistance or subsidy from Dominion or Provineial governments, are today ranking as established buei- 4 nesses, realising excellent returns on Wj the original investment.Scientific research and censeless improvement are steadily overcoming tbe dificui- ties inoidental to fiying in

auxillary to winter flying.The airplane ts annihilating distance, and nowhere is it more likely to play a prominent part than in Canada, with its vast stretches from East to West and South to North.Afraid ef the Dark.A CONSERVATIVE newspaper which seems to have small falth in fresh.alr, after generously rejoicing over the way in which British Labor is sloughing off bolshevism and taking steps to exclude candidates of that stripe from its political fellowship, goes on to say that vigilance is still necessary.It learns from some writer that bol- shevisnr has gained by tbe change of rule in England.What Moscow wanted was a socialist government that would establish trade relations with Russia, and thus open the way to sowing underground and in the dark the seeds of revolution throughout the Empire, We might suggest that there \u2018are two results that will naturally follow the opening of a door into a foul cellar.On the one hand the mephitis will issue and pervade the atmosphere for yards around, on the other, the fresh air of heaven will rush in and dispel the.foul gases.The lasue of poisoned air may be the more notfce- able result to sensitive noses outside, but the effect of all out-o\u2019-doors on the cellar will be much greater than the cellar will have on all out-o\u2019-doors.\u2018The one hope for Russia\u2014and she may be nearer it than seems\u2014is to let into her heavy sodden mass the lite of commerce, material and spiritual with the stirring outer world.She has been long fellow; and has of late been pretty well shaken up.She has been going through a process of education, carefully guarded, with a view to making her people into supersti- .tious automatons\u2019 at the bidding of the Moscow clique.But ft is impos- aible to let in the light of knowledge without letting out the bondage of superstition, whether that superstition take the form, as of old, of belief in witchcraft and icons and shrines, or the new belief In the Satanic quality of Capital.The world outside Russia is not sufficiently better than the Soviet-ridden world within, to be very healing in its qualities.But assimlla-_ tion with it cannot but prove emancipating.Possibly beneficial also to the other peoples, for Russia has certainiy produced her great artists in many - fields, But even supposing the Russian conditions to be entirely dark and our own to be entirely light; even ao, when darkness meets light it is generally the light that conquers.It is à simple contradiction of faith, hope and love to Fzld that there are persons or races 20

consumer\u2014in Chicago, Mas re- celved a rude shock by the revelations at the inquiry into des of the Amalgamated Bull * Council, and Ks affiliated Plumbers\u2019 Guid operating in Windsor.The directing heads of this organisation have been two Torvato lawyers both drawing fat salaries, with liberal expense allowances, and both, of course, adept at using every legal quirk and technie- ality to cloak or protect the machinations of the ring.The evidenee before the commission disclosed not only a price-fixing rg, which boycotted - WITNESS ANY CANADEAN and intimidated contracters tendering & lower price than that fixed by the mugwumps of the racket, and the use of every dirty device to compel outside employers to come under the fold of the association, but it showed also instances of actual sabotage by men suborned to ruin recalcitrant contractors.Weak-kneed wholesalers permitted themselves to be browbeaten Into refusing to accept business from reliable customers whose sole offence was fallure to join a combine, which the commissioner, Mr.Waldron, K.Cc.haz declared to be illegal.What ws have learned during recent weeks of the Amalgamated Buliders' Council is just what people in Chicago and Philadelphia and other cities simliarly afflicted learned a few years back about similar organisations in their dst.: None Become oe Suddenly Base (CEoaa0 did not descend in a ' night to its t unhappy.regime of racketeering and corruption, with its attendant slugging, bombing, kidnapping add blackmailing, its gang wars between rival vice lords and its buying and selling methods of grafting Pouitteians and police captains.The descent was alow at first, and the initial stages were marked by just such characteristics as were described by many witneases at the probe of Windsor eon- ditions organisations founded for ostensibly legitimate designs, control of marketing, price agreements and prevention of cut-throat competition, degenerating into tyrannical juntas, ready to break every law of God and man to fill the coffers of nefarious æchemers at the head of affairs.So far from feeling Canada immune from the affection, we feel constrained to point out that we have here all the raw material necessary for a flourishing racket; we have not a few shyster lawyers, ready to build up practice and fortune in active alliance with the underworld, we have the ba bond \u201cexperts\u201d we have not a few politictans ready to help a \u201cgood fellow\u201d out of à mess, if he will return the favor at elections, and we have, although we would faln believe them few, men in places of authority and trust, who are willing to wink at violation of the law.This thing has to be destroyed, or Canada will pay dearly for any present neglect.It ig satis- Iactory to note, that the attention of the Attorney-General has heen called to the evidence - before Mr.Waldren, and that thie able and con- - æsientious commissioner has recommended cancellation of the charter of the organisation.Perils of : Propinquity .HERE is a lot of saving grace about Windsor and the congeries of border cities of which it is the hub, if we may judge from a respectable press.It is not ils fault that it has to bear the sins of the great republic whose proxtmity, and our more impotent laws, have made it the harbor of vices which the United States has legally aloughed off.That region has, - no doubt, prospered through manu- fasturing enterprise that has spilled over, more particularly into Ford City.But it is vastly more the sufferer from being the focus of racetrack gambling, nos only for Canada, whieh fosters it by law, but for the United States which bans it; and from being the plague spot of rumrunning, backed by Canadian administration.For the this, however, the same region cannot disclaim responsibility so long as Walkerville, one of its sister cities, has is being largely in a distillery.We - wish, on the other hand, that, by thus explaining the misfortunes of an interesting spot, we could absolve our other cities.But we know too much to do 80.Windsor abuts upon a big city where racketeering is not unknown, and looks toward an area which has considerable

always sald that Canada was inflicting greater hurt on herself than on her neighbor by her vafriendly connivance in the breach of the.Prohibition laws of the United States.Is it possible that the racketeering gangrene of Windsor 1s merely another atage of the disease we have so asxiduously cultivated?The Bill Nobedy Loves.Tas Democratic farm bioe in the United States Congress is reported to be threatening to hold up all - discussion on the tariff bill, recently allowed out after being thoroughly manhandled by the Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee, À meeting has been called in Washington at which all Democratic members of Congress are to be present to consider ways and means of protecting .the American consumer from being robbed for the henefit of the manufsc- turer.The purpose of the special ses- alon of Congress was to enact farm relief measures, and an attempt is to be made to-delete all the non-agri- cultural schedules from the bill, They have been long asleep, but at last the Democratic farm members appear to be awakening to a sense of their duty: to the pedple back home.And if they are in earnest, and can win a few of the more public spirited Republican progressives to their standard, and the probabilities are that they can, the road the new bill will have to travel will be a hard one.The trouble In the past has been that about the only difference between the Republican and the Democratic politician has been the label.The one was almost as much a tool of the capitalist barons as the other.Thus the Democrats were careful never to bring their heavy arcillery to bear on their political enemies if there was any danger of a stray shell wrecking some of the buccaneering enterprises of \u201cBig Business\u201d.point beyond which the trading Democrat politician cannot go.That point has evidently been reached.The purpose of the bill was to bring the \u2018farmer rellef\u2014bul so many hands were thrust into the tariff grab-bag that the relief was all taken away, and the farmer findg himself rooked from: every quarter.True, tariff Schedules were boosted on every single farm product except on garlic, which was favored with a reduction of one- half cent a pound (is this another example of class legislation?), but the solons at Washington did not stop there.They were feeling in fine fettle and would not be halted, Before the brakes could be put on, the duties on Almost everything else had been boosted too.The belligerency of the farm bloc 1s aroused, and a great fight on the floor of the Senate is in prospect.But there is a\u2019 work has been expressed.And there is always the possibility that the President will not look on the work of the two Houses with satisfaction and may refuse to accept it.Effect on Canada.© FAR as Canada is concerned, the bill as it now stands is a better \" bill than when it left the House of Representatives, but not 30 good a bill a8 when it started out on its career.While there are sixteen schedules on the bill, Canada is only interested in two\u2014the agricultural provisions and the wood and wood products provisions.While the Senate finance committee raised some, of the agricultural rates higher than the House placed them, tiey lowered some others, and even went so far as to place shingles and cedar lumber, on which the House had clapped s duty of twenty-five percent, back on the free list, but whether they will remain there is yet to be seen; the House may not concur with the Senate.The principal ftems on the tariff schedule affecting Canada are cattle, beef, veal, hogs, fresh pork, milk, cream, cheese, fish, poultry, wheat and clover seed.The tariff on live cattle and on wheat will probably have little effect on Canada, because the United States producers cannot supply the demand, some must be imported, but the position of fresh milk and cream, and cheese Is different, and if those go through, there will have to be some re-arrangement on the part of the farmers in this country.One of the reasons Canada has been importing butter from New Zea~ land the past few years ie that soch large quantities of milk and cream have been going to the States.The demand from the large American cities las been growing faster than production in Canada could keep up with it, the result being that though the dairy population of the country antl the money invested In dairy enterprises have been steadily increasing, the supply failed to keep up with the demand.Since the farmer received more by shipping his raw milk to the States than he could by selling it to domestic creameries to be made Into butter for home consumption, butter production In Canada decreased and we were forced to Import.Had Mr, Bennett had his way, and a duty béen placed on New Zealand butter, it is doubtful # there would have been any betterment in the dairy industry, simply a re-arrangement.That re- arrangément will come about now without any tariff action on our

I had plenty of good wheaten bread to eat all the week, and the half of a herring for a relish (less will do if you can't afford half, for it is a splendid fish) and good coffee to drink: and I know how much\u2014or rather how little\u2014roast mutton you can get for twopence for your Sundays dinner.Don't suppose I went there from choice: I went of strong necessity (and this was promotion too): and I went with strong shrink- ing\u2014with a sense of suffering great humiliation, regarding my being there as à thing to be carefully kept secret from all my old friends In à word, I considered it only less degrading than sponging upon my friends, or borrowing what I saw no chance of ever being able to pay.Success came and in 1857 he added \u201cGas coal merchant and manufacturer of locomotive coke\u2019 to his sign.He entered upon all the tasks he undertook with great energy and ability.By means of his genius, he invented a new system of loading ships, which was patented and yielded a large amount of revenue to him, helping considerably in attaining an effluent position.It was as a coal merchant that he came first Into touch with seafaring nfen, and his soul was filled with indignation on account of the terrible dangers to which the sailors were exposed, by being sent to sea in overladen vessels, many of which were rotten and un- seaworthy.In July 1888 he contested Derby, but polled only 691.but was returned in December 1888 poling 4,759 votes and held the seat untü 1880, when he retired in favor of Sir William Harcourt, His main obejct in of Trade promised to push forward the Merchant Shipping Bill, but the government eventually anpounced that they could not proceed with the mea~ ure.Then came a memorable incident.On Friday July 23, 1875 a scene almost unparalleled in the annals of the British Parliament fie its extraordinary character, resuited from an intimation of the withdrawal of the Merchant Shipping Bfll.Mr.Plimsoll after making an excited complaint respecting the conduct of the Government and appealng to the Prime Minister (Mr.Disraeli) not to consign hundreds of brave men to death in that manner, denounced certain honorable members as \u2018villains\u2019 and announced his intention of asking a question as to whether certain ships which had been lost, and involved heavy 1s of life, to Mr.Edward Bates, MP.In reply to the Speaker.Mr.Plimsoll emphatically declined to withdraw the unparlia- mentary expression, and was itim- ately requested to retire.Mr.Disraelt moved that the hon.member be reprimanded, the Marquis of Hartingtom suggested that the painful subject should be adjourned in order to give Mr.Plimsoll an oppcrtunity of setting himself right with the House.Mr.AM.Sullivan and Mr, Henry Fawcett earnestly supported this view.The proposal found favor in the House, and in the end it was agreed to re- avest to hon.member day! The Government re-considered the matter, and within a fortnight the Bill was passed.low every ship which leave the British shores bears what is known as \u2018Plimsoll's Mark\u2019 upon its side.The

conan se NEWS OF THE WEEK wewwem There is atill unrest in Palestine, ae- cording to both press and official reports, but danger of a serious exten- alon of the rioting between Arabs and Jews appeared to be over.The efte:- tive measures taken by High Commissioner Sir John Chancellor, and his severe yroclamation to the people of Palestine, appeared to have had good results.Comparative normality prevailed in Jerusalem \u2018and Palestine generally, but there was still some apprehension of movements of Arabs beyond ibe frontiers.A communique of the Cu'onial Office Monday said, \u201cThe country north of Safed Ls inclined {o Je restless, but In other districts the situation was reported to be generally quiet.\u201cYesterday demonstration flights were carried out in strength by air- eraît over the north and northeastern areas of Palestine, where armed bands of Arabs were stil} reported as crossing from Syria.\u201cThe following are the total casu- ailes to Saturday: Killed or died from wounds, Mos- Jems, 83; Christians, 4; Jews, 100; wounded in hospltals\u2014Moslems, 122; Christians, 10; Jews, 183.\u201d An interesting light on the possibility Gf a general Arabian movement came today from a visitor to London, His Excellency Sheikh Wahbe, Privy Councillor to King Ibn Saud, of the Hedjaz.He told reporters the policy of his king had always been to restrain extravagant movements of Bedouin tribes, and to purfue a policy of peace and of respect for all of the three religions of Palestine, which.should live in amity and respect the Sanctity of Holy Places.Any suggestion, therefore, that there would be any anti-Jewish or other movement.promoted by Ibn Baud was said by him to be entirely out of the question.The king regards as a friend of Great Britain, has great faith in British Justice, and is convinced that the mandatory power will make searching inquiry into the present condition of Palestine and deal justice between the two religions.Arabs in Nablus, central Palestine eity, were said here on Thursday to have declared their independence from Great Britaln and to have rals- ed the Turkish flag.te Airplanes report that parties of Arabs that have been filtering into Palestine from across the Jordan are DOW scurrying back en masse jettisoning their loot and making for the open desert wastes with all speed.Similar operations are being conducted from Haifa, Jaffa ané Tel Aviv, where warships are based.An incident wherein a number of excited Jewish youths are alleged to have attacked and killed a lttle Arab boy in an unfrequented street in Jerusalem has inflamed tempers Ain, and it is believed that many troops now will have to be recalled from outlying districts to deal with the aitration which has arisen as a result of it.In' Thursday's demonstration, the Cross was carried along with the banner of the Prophet, with alternate cries of \u201cCross and Banner\u201d was \u201cLong live Moslem and Christian union.\u201d On the other hand, Arab demonstrators are ahouting \u201cLong lve the unity of Arab countries under the kingship of Ibn Saud, King of the Hedjas\u201d.In addition to Arab demonstrations in Damascus and Beirut, Moslems in Aleppo, Tripoll, Homs and Hama, in French Syria, are manifesting sympathy with their Palestine co-religionists and seising troubles to exalt the spirit of unity among Arab peoples.Further research work has reduced the cost of insulin ¥y more 10 per cent the Ontario Heakh \u2018Department annpounced, Insulin fs wed in the trestment of diabetic case ! by any

Rights to\u2019 Kull Percentage of Reparations.Rt.Hon.Philip Snowden, returning victorious from The Hague reparations conference on Sunday, was greeted by a crowd of more than 2,000 persons, who chaired him from the train to his walting automobile, Kleven women, who English newspapers said were Communists, paraded on the outskirts of the throng, distributing leaflets entitled \u201cDown with Snowden, the war monger!\u201d But neither the police nog the crowd were impressed to the point of interference by their dem- orsiration.Lord Thomson, Secretary for Air, greeted the delegates on behalf of the Cabinet.Before leaving The Hague, Mr.Snowden was informed by a telegram from Mr.Ramsay MacDonald, now on his way to Geneva, that he would be acting Prime Minister in the Prime Minister's absence.Britain's stand for her full share of the reparations money from Germany was granted by the other delegates The Young Plan which sets the total amount Germany is to pay, was approved.The final preliminaries to the formal ending the The Hague reparations conference were concluded Friday, with a gold pen somewhat less formidable than that with which the Kellogg pact was signed in Paris.The names of the delegates were append- od to the agreements reached on evacuation on the Rhineland snd on dia- tribution of the Young plan annuities.The Young plan itself was formally app! session Saturday, which marked the end of the work so often endangered since the conference began on August 8.The signature of the documents concerning the accord on financial questions furnished the final inei- dent Rt.Hon.Philip Snowden, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, was again the principal actor, finding what he sald were discrepancies in the texts of certain documents.Por a time the British Chancellor determinedly refused to affix his signature, and threatened to keep the conference going until Monday.Among the documents which thus went into the records of the con ence were letters exchanged with German Government by the powers occupying the Rhineland.They dealt with evacuation of the Rhineland, which must begin for the second sone during the month of September and be completed within three months.For the third sone.at the Mainz bridgehead, which under the Treaty of Versailles was to have been eva- custed ni 1938, the departure of the foreign troops must begin immediately after ratification of the Young plan, and is to be finished ba fore the end of June, 1830.Final ratification of the Young plan fe te business of the Parliaments of Ke nations represented at The by the delegates in a plenary\u201d Hague.Since the French Parliament does not meet until the end of October or the beginning of November, ratification! will be delayed at least that long.Adjoined to these documents was & note setting forth the agreement of all the interested powers to the jurisdiction of arbitration commissions, set up under the Locarno treaty over questions concerned with armaments on the left bank of the Rhine after evacuation, Canada's support of Britain's position at The in regard to the Young plan of modifying Germany's war debt payments means Canada\u2019s acceptance, generally, of the provi- slons of that plan as adopted at The The percentage of the fund paid to the British Government for the Empire by Germany which Canada will receive is 4.35 percent but it has been unofficiaily computed that under the various changes in the methods of payment there will be a reduction of $200,000 or over in the annual sum to be received by Canada.This, however, is not regarded as a serious matter, inasmuch as when the present Government this spring decided to pay Canadlan reparation claims in full, there was in the Treasury at Ottawa more than twice as much money received through the Daves payments as was required td pay the awarded claims in full.Much interest centres about the strong recommendation In the Young for the immediate return of an property taken daring the war.Up until a few months ago, the federal Government was in no mood to discuss this question as to whether or not German property should be returned.Indian Floods Tens of thousands of peopl are homeless as a result of floods in Egypt.India and Yugoslavia.Millions of acres were under water.The property damage was incalculable.It was estimated Saturday that $30,000,000 worth of cotton In upper Egypt was in danger of being destroyed by the ristag waters of the Nile.Some of the banks already have begun to overflow, doing great damage to the summer maise crop.The Government has voted a fund of $1,000,- 000 to help in the afflicted area.The Indus River floods, which have beon spreading rapidly in the last week, reported Sunday to have destroyed Bankar on the Northwestern

Treasury's campaign against rumrunning from Canada in the Detroit ares is shown in Customs\u2019 Bureau figures made public Friday to decrease the Canadian liquor exports fiom towns across the border by more than 50 per cent.The liquor imports from Canadian towns opposite Detroit for June and \"July totalled 171,719 cases as compared with 439,101 in the same month of last year, or a drop from 1.096752 to 429,296 gallons.The Treasury's campaign to ontop the smuggling of liquor across the burder at and near Detroit was inaugurated in April but the increased forces sent there did not get into action until May.At once, however, there was a decrease from 125,350 cases exported in May of last year to 68,991 cases in May of this year.In June, the decrease was from 147,209 cases last year to 48,836 caves this year; while in July the liquor exports from points opposite the Detroit area to the United States dropped from 166,533 cases last year to 53,892 cases this year.° \u2018The decrease in liquor exportation from the Canadian cities was noticeable as soon as the border patrol began to gather at Detroit.In April of this year the exportation total was 71430 cases while the May figures showed that 6,006 gallons less of liquor was cleared for this country.Clearance figures which were furnished by the Canadian Government, also showed that the total Canadian clearances since last March amounted to 793,761 gallons.The figures include whiskey, wine, beer, brandies, and all alcobol'c beverages which come under the ban of the Prohibl- tion law.Favor St.Lawrence Plan Resolution at

some light on the subject.Various evidently legendary accounts of ite origin are given.Whatever may have been the origin of the term, we find it firmly entrenched in literature from the early ycoes of the nineteenth century.Thus Captain aarryat published, m 1839, \u201cA Divey in America\u201d One chapter deals th \u201cEducation,\u201d where he is somewhat caustic on the lack of parental control, and eays: \u201cAt fifteen or sixteen, if aot at college, the his father's quents the bar, calls for gin cocktails, Thackeray and others use it for a In sporting circles it was epplied to a = he from the \u201cNew York Tri- dune\" (1862), \u201cA bowie knife and a foaming cocktail\u201d them.Then, in April, 1929, M.Gullain gave à great denunciation of cocktails before the Fremch Academy of Medi- eine, und his conclusions were unanimously approved.The whole paper has greater force, tn that M.Gullain is not epparently what we call a total sbetainer.This French condemnation, following so closely upon Professor Dixon's paper in the \u201cBritish Jourmal of Inebrity,\u201d and Beverley Nicholly' remarkable anticle in the \u201cDaily Mail\u201d May 30th, brings home to us tire grave menace to health and well betng which these drinks provide.Let us consider their composition, their mode of action and some of the more serious results of such action.Composition \u2014The meseure used in making cocktails is the giB, or oog- gin, equai to 0.142 Iitres, that is 4 gille equal -568 litre, or 1 pint.Here is the composition of a cocktail, very popu- ler in a certain London club, 1-4 gill ef dry gin (0.036 litre), contains at 30 dog.uproof 05 fluid oz.of atwolute alcohol, 1-8 gill of French vermouth (0.018 1stre), 1-8 gill Italian vermouth (6.018 litre), one \u201cdash\u201d of grenadine, oLe \u201cdash\u201d of orange bitters Another very popular cocktail contains 1-4 gill rye whisky, 1-4 giil Itailan vermouth, one \u201cdash\u201d of absinthe, one or two 5 mode of actien\u2014The main and conséquent effect is of course due to the ethylic alcohol It i rapidly absorbed from the empty stomach and becomes diffused all over the body, producing fs now well- known narootic action upon the brain, leading to & weakening of inhibition and eelf-control, with liberation of lower level activity which is so characteristic of alcohol.In the course of machine, and prevent the engine from \u201cracing\u201d This last-formed function is the first to be weakened or abolished, and, with tts removal, the lowet activities of the mind and brain are released, and s0 the great instinctive impuises and destres are liberated and find ready expression.It is this primary action of alcohol in weakening inhibition and liberation of instinctive and unreflective impulses to action which has led people Ë tiye desires and impulses to action, the atmosphere of gaiety and pleasure in which the drink is teiven, the element possibly of adventure, all tend to create a mental mosaic, a sort of wormwood (absinthe) have a somewhat specific action on the motor mechanisms of the brain.Spasmodic and convulsive actions are common, and in defivite absinthe polsoning, eplleptiform-like seisures are frequent.Thus, with the weakening of inhibition, the partial removal of self- control, plus excitation of moicr mechanisms, speech becomes freer, easier, possibly superdicially even snore teilitant, until the fuller actica of the alootw! upon judgment and discretion may tell a different tale.We mav, indeed, claim that the young cocktail habitue is \u201cdeluded by « seeming excellence,\u201d for the moment the passing sensuous pleasure is so definite that the possibilities of remoter penalties are overloocined.That these latter are very real has been pointed out by Dixnn and others, sid more recently in a very striking paper by Dr.Gullain before the French Academy ot Medicine (\u201cBulletin of the Academy,\u201d April 30th, 1929).He relates how the cocktail habit, imported from America, was formerly confined to certain sections of French society, racing, literary dramatic e habit are younger men and women of the well-to-do classes and the \u201csmart set\u201d It is this fact the

Americans visiting Toronto are urged to take a trip to this oasis via the bus desirable for American tourists?Has this Quebec city more \u2018fertile\u2019 attractions than Toronto can boast of, or indeed than are to be met with in any city of the Province of Ontario?Is not this entire Province known abroad as an oasis, and has it not a fertility\u2019 that people paid almost forty nine million dollars last year to maintain?Sir Henry Drayton, or even the Prime Minister, will surely dispute this imputed claim of Montreal.They have earnestly striven to create an oasis in Ontario, and should not lightly aliow thelr laurels to be filched from them\u201d \u201cGive me a sober population, not wasting their earnings in strong drink, and I shall know where to obtain the revenue.\u2019\u2014 W.BR Gladstone.A high idea! ls à spiritual blue paint for one's life.Catholic Prohibitionists is always a pleasure to record instances of Roman Catholic utterances or actions in favor of prohibition or temperance.The Cathalio Citizen reports that an immense crowd recently gathered in the cathedral of Armaugh, Ireland, for the renewal of pledges by the members of the Armaugh total abstinence society in the presence of the archbishop and undet the inspiration of a strong temperance sermon by a Jesuit priest.Catholics who are convinced of the evils of liquor but \u2018have acruples\u2019 against prohibition as à means of handling the matter will be showing their good faith if they devote more energy to such positive measures and less to denunciations of prohibition.Mr, P.BH.Callahan, prominent Catholic layman and advocate of prohibition, is circulating a total abstinence pledge to be algned by American youth.He Is also kiving as wide publicity as possible to the falsification of statistics\u2014or the creation of false impressions by the fallaclous use of true statistica\u2014by the wet press.For example: The number of arrests for drunkenness in the city of Oakland Calif, increased from 1,896 in 1919 (a wet year) to 3,588 In 1928 (a dry year) socording to a publication of the Moderation league.But 1019 was not _ a wet year.We had wartime national prohibition through half of that year, and rigid enforcement.Why not compare the number of arrests in 1018, the true \u201cyear before national prohibition,\u201d with the number for 10287 These figures show à decrease from 7,438 to 3,408.And besides, it is the consensus of opinion that it requires & less extreme degree of intoxication fo get a man arrested now than ten years ago.More people drive cars, and a driver is arrested when e is oven a little bit drunk.\u2014Christ- fan Century.z Alcohol and Gasoline the tank is full of gasoline and the driver is saturated with matically follow.Bo long as the consumers of alcohol are allowed to drive with impunity while} under the tr- fluence of liquor, tlie rest of the motoring public is menaced.So-called accidents occur repeatedly snd no punishment follows, largely because it is necessary to 6 actual intoxication before the ders can be effectively punished.This alcohol continues to play the pa-t dé the highwayman, taking toll of unoffending people who have occasion to use the public roads.The time is coming when it sbegld be a criminal offence to be under thé influence of liquor while driving a motor along the highway.It should hot be \u2018necessaxy to prove the driver to be intoxicated.Opinions differ as\u2019 to when a man Is drunk.Habitual drinkers will, in self defence, maine tain that they can consume quanti ties of alcohol without losing full control of their senses.Some of them find themselves on juries, whose duty it 1s to try automobile accident cases, % > : MIND BODY Floating a Dirigible Helium, the Gas That Brings

The third stage is the best of all, but, unfortunately, it is only safe to embark upon it if you are a littie bit of an artist.Suppose you wish to make a seat for a Queen Anne chair; first go to the Museum and study the furniture there.If you see a pattern that takes your fancy you can easily Bet permission to make a sketch; this will enable you to get your coloring exact.Then paint your canvas.It ls easzntial that the edge is bound with tape, otherwise it 1s amazing how quickly it will ravel away.After that it must be stretched on a frame.These \u2018only cost a few shillings, and can be adjusted to any sise, and will last Indefinitely, 80 they are well worth the trifling extra expense and trouble.The Norwegian Lutherun Descuness Hopital Sesocl of Nursing offers « 2% year course te High Scheel graduates.Excellent instruction and practical experience.Apply to Principal, fi Pourth Ave.& 46th 81, New oi rt When answering the advertisements please mention the Montreal Witness.Another very important thing is\u2014be sure you get your measurements quite accurate.80 often the success of a piece of work depends on these small details.One last word: Never leave anything that is not absolutely to your liking.Nothing is quite so hateful as to have to unpick one\u2019s own work; but it is worth while doing it again and again; often it only depends on a few stitches whether the result is a fallure or a work of art.HIGHER WAIST-LINE We do take a long time to assimilate the dictates of Paris.The longer akirt and higher waist-line has been hanging fire so much that some women have missed that well-dressed look by belng too late!

already the meeting at the barn would be gathering.Probably they would even now be discussing his singular absence from the usual haunts.Gellatly had an odd enjoyment in the situation, the development of which surprised no one more than himself.There was a grin on his face as he took the back way to the barn, which upon a piece of waste land about down the road.He Êvéi end, and was veritably a place of gloom.The usual leading lights were there, haranguing the men, and breathing out threats of vengeance.Gellatly remained in the farthest at the door.Nobody.paid any particular heed to him there, and he was able to form his own opinion about the temper of the meeting.Although forty-eight hours ago he would fiercely have resented the suggestion that the men\u2019s spirits were flagging, he now saw evidence of it in the disjointed discussion and the listless look of many present.He well knew what was weighing them down; it is not a pleasant prospect for a man to have in view, that at a given time he will find himself and his family thrust homeless on the streets, unless he can in the interval provide them with a substitute.There had already been several removals from the villages on the part of those who, unable to foresee the end of the struggle, wisely determined to seek occupation elsewhere.They were a depressed, even ragged-looking, crew.The strike was now in its thirteenth week, and funds were running very low.Also the relief from other centres was not coming In with such spontaneous steadiness\u2014in a word, all things were beginning to tell.Gellatly viewed these signs with a curious satisfaction.He intended to throw a bomb in their midst presently, and perhaps he would find more support than he expected.As usual, Thomson was the chief spokesman.Ee had a mighty gift of speech, and it was tonight of the most fiery and revolutionary kind.He spoke darkly of the proceedings likely to take place on Monday, and openly advocated taking summary vengeance if the employers\u2019 threats to evict were actually called into action.The suggestion was made to burn both Garthlands and Cathells Park to the ground.Gellatly could stand this no longer.He came slowly forward, right up to Thomson's elbow.\u201cHulloa, Geordie, there ye are!

water routes of Canads have been travelled for a ocon- tury or more.The vell that for #0 long obscured the movements of the early travellers and traders is being slowly lifted by modern surveyors and, with the progress of organised mapping methods, -almost limitless lands of scenic beauty, in resources, are revealing themseives with the stage all set for an era which will .be theirs, the era of northern development.In the new Pelican Narrows map, Provisional Edition, National Topographic Series, embracing 5,500 square miles on a scale of 4 miles to the ineh, presently released from the of the Topographical Survey, Department of the Interior at Ottawa, another segment of thelr surprising inheritance is brought to the notice of Canadians.This map is featured by the Churchill river with the famous trade route, 261 miles long, from The Pas by Sturgeon-weir river to the Churchill.over Frog Poitage, cutting the southern portion in two.The Reindeer river which is the canoe route leading to Reindeer lake, divides the northern half.As long ago as 1775, Joseph Frobisher of 2éontreal, North West Company fur trader, discovered the Stur- geon-weir river route from Cumbez- land past Palican Narrows to Frog Portage on the Churchill, which has remained ever since the main waterway leading to the northern interior and the great Mackenzie basin.Frog Portage or \u201cPortage du Traite\u201d 25 it was originally, was named by the Indians \u201cAthiquisipichigan Oulnigan,\u201d or \u201cThe Portage of the Stretched Frobisher was 30 sucoeasful in his first year's trading that he was unable to carry away all the furs he acquired.In 1776, Alexander Henry, the glider, and the Frobisher brothers built a post at this point, and that year obtained 13,000 beaver skins from the Indians \u201cbesides large numbers of otter and marten.\u201d ~ First Map Churchill River 1786 PETER Pond, also from Montreal, followed Frobisher\u2019s route to Frog Portage in 1778 and eventually rpach- ed lake Athabaska.His map of 1785, said to have been made for the Empress of Rusain, is the first one that shows the Churchill from its source to its mouth.After Pond came those distinguished forerunners of the surveyors of today.Philip Turner, surveyor for the Hudson's Bay Company, in charge of a survey party with Malcolm Ross as his assistant, surveyed the Sturgeon- weir river up to Pelican Narrows and on to Frog Portage in 1791, and from thence made & track survey of the Churchill to its source.His report is in the head office of the Company in London.His sketch map was incorporated in Arrowsmiths map of North America.David Thompson, greatest surveyor of them all, travelled the country embraced in the Pelican Narrows sheet in 1796, and surveyed the portion of the Chizchill thereon to the mouth of the Reindeer river, and the Reindeer itself to Reindeer lake which lies off the map to the north.Below the junction of the Reindeer and Churchill the Indians report the remains of an old trading post, supposed to be the Fairford Hous: built by \u2018Thompson.Another famous explorer-surveyor, Peter Fidler, between 1807 and 1809, repeated Thompson's survey of the Reindeer and the portion of the Churchill in the newly mapped area.For pearly 70 years afterwards, until the late Dr.Robert Bell reported on it, the upper Churchill was Ignoe- ed by geographers.With the Issue of the Lac-la-Ronge.Pelican Narrows and Kississing map sheets by the Topographical Survey, 144 years after Peter Pond's first crude map, this portion of the river is completely and accurately mapped for the first time.Today es in the old days, when travellers were almost wholly de- «+ pendent upon it, the fishing never fails.Sturgeon, whitefish, lake trout, pickere) and pike pleateously populate the bewildering waterways of connecting lakes and rivers.And still the furs pour down the amphibian way from the Arctic to the Saskatchewan with the Pellcan Narrows \u201cfur garden,\u201d as Malcolm Mc- Leod called it, adding its quota by the way.Romance has not departed from the region even though the light \u201cNorthern canoes\u201d of birch bark guided by electric-eyed Iroquois have been replaced by the cedar or canvas canoe of the modern surveyos, proapector and fur-trader.The route of Simpson's journey In 1828 may be followed on the new map from the time he entered Mirond lake at the south centre of the sheet, to Pelican Narrows, Frog Pertage and on to Keg lake on the west centre of the map.Frog Portage is pécullar in that It forms a watershed over which, during periods of high water, the Churchill spills and finds its way by a chain of rivers and lakes to the Saskatchewan.On an island opposite the portage there still remained some thirty years ago an old warehouse of the Hudson's Bay Company while a low rocky point west of the portage was presumed to be the site of Frobisher's trading post of 1776.In contrast to the turbulence of the Churchill indicated by the numerous rapids and falls shown on the map, especially for a portion just east of the mouth of the Reindeer, is the Reindeer itself which is, for the most part, wide with little current, bordered with poplar and patches of spruce.Generally speaking the whole of the mapped area exhibits a fair growth of poplar witn admixture of spruce and birch, the habitat of woodland caribou, moose, wapif, whitetails, jumping deer\u2014and furbearers, particularly the beaver and muskrat.\u2018 During the migrations from the breeding grounds near Hudson Bay the innumerable lakes swarm with geese and ducks.Pelicans and cormorants breed in the tract, nesting in great numbers on small rocky islets.Aeross from Frog Portage a solitary settler raises grain and vegetables.Here he has constructed a primitive grist mill, the second one on the Churchill, the other having been built over half a century ago at Stanley located as shown on the Lac-la- Ronge map sheet.About the time that Warren Hastings began piecing the East Indian Empire tageth:r, in the same year In sealed airtight packages that saw the battle of Bunker Hill and while Captain Cook was opening the way for British Colonies in the southern seas, the Pelican Marrows country was traversed by Frobisher.Such as it was then it remains today, except that the wandering Indians have been more or less segregated, on their several Indien reserves on Pelican, Wood and Mirond lakes, and around the Pelican Narrows post of down to Hudson tury and a half, and on millions of dollars worth as it looks, studded with threaded with greater and streams, yet this 5,500-iquare miles of territory has contributed its share to the commerce of the country.Minerals, timber and fishing resources are yet untouched and so are the water-powers with the exception of those at Island Falls now being developed.oF Pukatawagan with others to Sturgeon Landing, Stanley and Reindeer lake, Rapids, falls and portages marked on, the main water routes make .the sheet a good

35 ft.of 2 1-2-in.and 50 ft.of 1 1-4-in.black pipe, cut and threaded to order, would not cost more than $18.The necessary fittings for connecting up system will approximate $12 more.For.the expansion tank.an old milk can (10- gal.) can be used, or a suitable tank can be had for $5.At any rate, the entire outfit should cost not more than $85, and surely a plumber could afford to connect it up for the other $25; fi fact, anyone with a few pipe wrenches, à little mechanical ability and knowledge of gravity can do the trick by following a few simple directions.The heater should be placed at or below flogr level {preferably in one corner), a 2 1-2 in.pipe connected to the top of heater and direct to the.expansion tank, which should be located at the highest possible point accessible for refilling and observation.Another 2 1-2 in.pipe connected to the expansion tank and slightly inclined downward should extend to and across opposite end of building.Opposite end of each bench one or two 1 1-4 in.pipes should be connected, these to pass through under the benches to opposite end, where they cgain connect to 8 2 1-2 in.returm pipe leading to bottom\u2019 connections of hefter.4 Great care must be taken to retain the gradual downward slope from the expansion tank to heater;
