LINDBERGH TRAGEDY

‘ The sympathy of the people of Canada as well as of the United states will go out to Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh whose kidnapped child has been found, but found too late. The story of the discovery of the body of the child appears else- where in todliyb issue. Perhaps to the bereaved parents anything is better than the terrible strain they have been under during the last twelve weeks, when they sought far

RAILWA Y FREIGHT

Giving evidence before the Rall- way Committee in the House of Commons the mnlster of Railways, the Hon. R. J. Manion, declared that the two principal railways in Canada had been "asleep at the switch" for the past ten years in not devising means of - uvpetitioin Iwitll the busses and trucks. In this the right hon. gentleman is not far astray. If either or both railways shad taken a leaf out of the books l»: u» railways in the Mother mus 0y would have been running bosses and trucks on the roads to ‘keep privato enterprises out and ‘in maintain their control. of quick [Knight and transient passenger traffic. m the Old Count-y, Ior instance, they have been fume-immune with fast auto Emma to and from London or years with tho consequence that st the present, time they are In a position to deliver freight practically in any part of the coun- i‘ my as speedily l5 by exvreu and In some cases ahead of express. {The advantage of this in the ease of perishable freight has been im- mense.

An endeavor was madaby the Democrats in the United ‘States House of Representatives on Wed- nesday to deprive the President of the authority to change import duties upon recommendation of the tariff commission. This has . been a power totalled m the ma.‘ of the executive for the past twenty years.

,The great point about the com- ing Economic Conference is that it will be thoroughly representative of an Empire which, through the steady character of its people, has grown to its present proportions.

when Banting discoverodvinsulin, and was thus able to save thdlivea of thousands of diabetics throughout me world, it lave a tremendous start to investigators everywhere, andnowlnsulin ls usedinmany other conditions besides diabetm.

Similarly when Rowtrm quits by accident discovered the Z ray, and surgeons were able to see the bones inside the body. this was only tho begirulins of many uses for the x my m locating other conditions in the body.

And now during the past few years they have been finding that the X ray is not merely of use in discovering various conditions in the body, but can actually be used in curing many ailments. _ _ For instance from Berlin Dr. R. Guntenberg states that the Z ray treatment of patients with severe goitre, affected a cure or “

of the cases in witch it was used. Even in patients with true exopthal- mic goltre-heart rapid, eyes bulg- ing, extreme nervousness and loss of weight-cure was affected in I0 per cent of cases. Thus he concludes that this meth- odcanbeusedinthosecaseswhare the symptoms are not severe ulough to require immediate surgical oper- ation. The treatment should be tried for at least three to six months and if there be no improvement then the operation may be’ done. Dr. H. O. Bohr used tne X ray treatment on a number of cases of arthritis - inflammation of the Jclnts—and had good results after the other methods had failed. He reports that the pains and awellings are reduced, the creaking and grat- ing sounds are lessened; and there is improvement ln- the movements. Dr's. F. E. Hang and H. Schrens treated sixteen hay fever cases by X rays. In seven cases the-treat- ment was successful, in eight cases it failed, and one case could not be followed. They found that the X ray method was more successful in those cases in which the treat- ment was given some time before the usual attack occurred, than in those who were treated d r’ the attack. Thus in future they expect to give the treatment before the attack in all cases.

It is certainly gratifying to see how this accidental discovery of the X ray, has been made use of by the research men in discovering and curing these various ailments.

probably his was the preponderant share, in the responsibility charged against his father for starting the World War.

Any official of public recognition of him in this ccimtry woufd be bound to rouse consedirable ire a- mong the thousands of ex-servioe- men in Canada, and particularly among those who have not yet re- established themselves permanent- ly. Canada has enough to contend with at the present time without courting this additional trouble.
