Stevens to represent him at a trade banquet in ‘Toronto, which Mr. Stevens obligingly did. and took the opportunity to larnbasie Eatons for advertising goods below cost of production, and warning them, and all others concerned, to “mind their step." Mr. Bennett protested against this umption of cabinet author- ity without the cabinet being con- sulted, and Mr. Stevens forthwith resigned. Mr. Bennett asked him to reconsider his ' ‘on, but to be more careful in future about em- barrasing the Government by his public statements; at the same time giving him a committee, and sub- sequently a Royal Commission to investigate conditions complained of. Mr. Stevens began the investi- gation and it soon became evident that “the hall was not fold" of the sweating and undercutting pre- vailing in certain industries, in- cluding chain stores, the tobacco Industry, and stock yards. Everything was going along swimmlngly, when Ml‘. Stevens once more decided to take the public into his confidence, and forthwith published in pam- phlet form a speech on the work of the special committee, without consulting his colleagues, or wait- ing fbr the conclusion of the in- quiry. In doing so it is alleged that he was guilty of two grave minis- terial offences, first, breach of Government ethics, and second, in- accuracy in his statements. A meet- ing cf the Government decided Mr.‘ Stevens should make the amend honourable, butsinstead of so doing he preferred to resign.

This contreternps, at this parti- cular time especially, is greatly to be regretted. Mr. Stevens is one of the few men in public life who has the courage of his convictions and is not afraid to express them. But 1n the very strength of his individ- ualism lies his weakness as a member of an administration. It; will be recalled that. after the Majuba Hill disaster, Mr. Glad- stone, against the advice of the majority of his cabinet, decided t0

Canada must remain closely in- terested in the development of the Mother-land's home-production pol- iciu and their effect on agricultural import demand. mcreased purchas- es of British manufactured goods will continue to be the most help- ful factor in the establishment of stable markets and the promotion of the two-way trading that eases so many economic burdens on both sides of the Atlantic.

Sever-ll prominent English dram- atists are going into business. Mr. J. B. Priestly has become o. director of the Duchess Theater, London, and is expected both to manage and to write most of the plays to be presented there. Mr. Walter Hac- kett is in charge of a second thea- ter, and a third is, it is announced, to be exclusively devoted to produc- ing the works of Mr. P. G. Wode- Ihouse. Mr. Noel Coward has also l

gone into theatrical management. ‘rhis development is full of possi- bilities for the good of the English theater, which in the last fifteen years has suffered much from the hands of speculators whose only in- terest in it has been financial. It brings literature into close contact with the theater. and this contact, by enriching their appreciation of the practical possibilities and dil- flculties associated with the pro- duction of plays. is bound to have on effec upon their work.

Strong men, men with outstanding indiv- idualistic convictions, unless held in check, are apt to become dicta.- tors and tyrants, riding rough shod over the will and wishes of their fellows. Joseph Chamberlain, when he differed from Gladstone over Home Rule for Ireland, withdrew from one Government and helped to form the Liberal Unionist Party. Then again, when he differed from Balfour on the question of Protec- tion, he withdrew from that Gov- ernment and formed the ‘Tariff Re- form Party. Mr. Stevens will not sever his connection with the Party, but remain a. staunch sup- porter of it in the House of Com- mons, and moreover, will retain his sect and usefulness on the Royal Commission bearing his name.

11' HAPPENED BEFORE!

The resignation of a cabinet min- I

later for reasons other than ill- health is by no means an unprece- dented event in Canadian political history. The Canadian Press recalls several such instances, as follows: 1n 1902 Hon. J. Israel Tarte, min- ister of public works in the admin- istration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, was requested to resign his portfolio. M1‘. Tories “crime” was that of pub- licly advocating policies of high pr:- tectlon without having first consul- ted his colleagues. Sir Wilfrid was attending the Imperial Conference of 1902 when Mr. Tarts in a number

- of publioaddruses urged the neces-

sity of higher tariffs.

On his return from England Sir Wilfrid, pointing to the course which Mr. Tarts ought to have taken and recalling the principle of collective cabinet responsibility, asked for end received the letters resignation.

The first resignation from s Do- minion government was thet of Hon. George Brown from the Confedera- lioneebinetoflirJohnAMs-c- dseaid. In. Brown. resenting the mink pwtfoiio to which he had been

The Senator stated that the fight was caused by his refusal to apologise to Henry for remarks he made on the floor of the United States Senate. Overton was suffering from a out over the right eye, a badly lacerated mouth and a bruise on the cheek. l-‘fe was bleeding profusely when carried to his hotel room and give-n medical attention.

Great Britain's bill for cut blooms, which far exceeds any other nation, totals £l0,000.000 a year. At the height of the season more than a quarter of a. million roses a day are sold at Convent Garden and the year's output of carnations reaches two million dooen blooms. These facts were told to a Daily Mail reporter at the display of cut flowers st the Royal Horticultural Hisll, Westminster, where m! profes- sional florists competed for the certificates of the Royal Horticul- tural Society.

The universities of Germany were the stronghold of Nazi-ism a short time ago and Hitler and other leaders of the National Socialists ‘found almost unanimous support among the students. Now, however. there are deep rumblings of revolt in the universities against the reg- imentation of German life as dir- ected by the government heads. A protest against an order of the head of the German Student League, which calls for students to live in “oomradeship homes," wear uniforms and be subject to military discipline, has been made by an i111 ‘ l student group. Chancel- lor Hitler and his colleagues at the heod of the government had better watch their steps against the students, for unless the youth of

method, it meant going into hospital, undergoing the usual

ural fear of operation. There was therefore some excuse for not hav- ing the varicose veins removed. To-dsy however there is really no reason why the great majority of people with v ‘ veins should be annoyed or disabled by them. The injection method is painless, means no loss of time from work, and the cost is not much more than the usual amounts psld for visits to the phy- sician's office. A half doun visits is usually sufficient to get rid of any varicose veins whether they are on the legs, or in the rectum where thy are known as piles _o_rflhe_rnor_- rhoids.

All that the in‘ “ method does is to put some subetan into the veins which irritates and iniiarnes the lining-sodium selioylate, quin- ine and urethane. and others. The injections are made two‘ or more st a time, about twice a week. The in- ner llning of the vein first becomes inflamed from the caustic or irritat- ing liquid that is injected, which causes gestion, the slowing up of any blood passing through it as some of the fibrin of the blood becoming deposited on the wells of the vein, and finally the veuel instead being a tube becomes solid like a piece of cord or string.

The natural question to ask is whst happens to the v bloocLwbich should pass through these veins when these veins are destroyed and are just hard, solid, fibrous cords. Nature is so good to us that here as in so many other places in the body, the blood passes through other little vessels in the region, and the cir- culation of the part is thus main- tained.
