Though japan claims almost tmintcrrttpted progress in her undeclared war on tliitia, she does not take into account the guerrilla warfare which is going on behind the lines.

PREVENTING INFANTILE . PARALYSIS — POLIOMYELYPIS.

It. Is during thedast few weeks of Summer and the first few weeks of Autumn that most cases of polfomyelftfs occur. In order that. parents should not become too greatly alarmed, the Ontario (Can- ada) Department of Health placed page and ha]! page advertLsements In the ncivspapers of the Province advertising parents about. £1115 dread ailment. I quote one.

"In vIew of the prevalence of ‘infantile paralysis‘ at the present time, and In recognition of the deep concern felt by parents over the protection of their children, we are Issuing the following statement concerning the nature of the (lis- ease and the question of what. can be done to reduce the danger 0f Infectfon.

Like iricaslcs and scarlet fever, ‘infantile parnfvsfs‘ Is a communi- cable or ‘catch ' disease. The term ‘Infantile’ Is misleading, While It is trite that the majority of cases ,occui' among cnildren under tcn years of age (most. cases from 3 to 6 years of age), It does occur. especially In rural or coun- try districts. among older children and young adults.

The term ‘paralysis’ Is likewise misleading as It is now known

A few months ago some haywire genius pcrstiaded Vancouver Is- land gas stations to change their signs from “Gas" to "Petrol". Van- cuuver laughed tnerrilv. But now the danger Is coming closer to Iioine. D. Leo Dolan of the Can- adian Travel Bureau wants us to change our beer parlors to Olde Englysslte Pubbcs. our restaurants to Tea Shoppes, our pIes to “fruft tarts." We want to encourage the tourist. but charity begins at home. After all, the tourist can cut his visit short and go back to hls n21- tive land after he has his III! of Shoppes and Pubbes and has be- come tired of searching his pocket (llI‘l.lOI‘IflI‘_\' to find outdf tneans "pie" and “ "gas", It's all very we]! for the enthusiastic tourist addict to In- sist that we transform Vancouver Into this kind of romantic theatri- cal setting but, please, Mr. Dolan, we have to live In the PIHCGr-VB-fl" couver sun.

One Item In the Queen Mary's new record “i111 seem to many lizndsmeii even more impressive than the actual time and speed. This Is the precision with which a SlIlp will cross nearly 3,000 mlles of occnn. Between Bishop's Rock, England, and our own Ambrose Lightship the Queen Mary made her record run on a course of 2.- 907 miles. Between the same two points the Normandfe mach; her now defunct record on a course 0f 290G miles. A deviation of one mile In tiearly 3.000 miles Is something that. almost staggers the ImagIn- atlon. It is sharpshooter hitting n. foot and a half from the centre of the target at a mIIe, Among our instruments of precision It Is plain that man ls no mean precision In- strument himself. It. Is only a pity that he does not always use his gift for steerln ships across the AtIantIc and smflar useful puf- poses-New York Tfmel.

Two criticisms are beIn mule d the proposal that the ful cost of unemployment relief should be u- siimed by the Dominion Govern- ment, tine municipalities thereby relieved of a burden many of them find It almost Irépossfble to bear.
