Sir Charles Wheatstone, English electrician, died this date, 1875; his first researches were in connection with sound, and was appointed professor of experimental philosophy in King's College, London, in 1834 when thirgv-tuo years of age; three yczirs later with Mr. W. F. Cooke he took out a patent for the first electric tele- graph; he also invented the stereoscope and in- struments for measuring constants of a voltaic scrics.

Sir Thomas Bcecham, millionaire son of the pill man, and distinguished conductor, hates critics. It will be recalled he turned on an Australian audience and abused-them for their lack of appreciation, and now it is his wife who is threatened to get it where the chicken got the axe. Sir Thomas who has been con- ducting Seattle Symphony Orchestra, wants to divorce his wife, Utica Celcstia Beecham, daughter of a prominent New Yorker, because she allegedly belittled his success by “constant harping and adverse criticism." He filed his suit Aug. 26 at Idaho City.

Enough said! When Col. the Hon. I. L. Ral- ston, Minister of National Defence, recently paid a visit to sortie of the Canadian soldiers ivouudctl at Dieppc, he paused for a few words with Sgt. Ernest Thirgood, who had won the hlililnry llctlal for gallantry in action. The Sergeant pfOllflly showed him a. picture of his little dzuiglilcr, Carol, and as the Minister turn- ed to leave, he said:

“I've been wondering why we haven't got conscription for overseas service."

To which. so it is reported. Col. Ralston te- plicd: “If you came back to Canada you'd find out."

Mr. I. F. M. Stewart, of Canada's National War Finance Committee, told the American FCIlPIZIlIOII of Labor couvctititiu that the fin- ances of the Dominion are sound and that Can- adian people are united in the war effort. Re- viewing Canada's war finance, Mr. Stewart said that this year the Dominion Government's ex- penditures would total $4,00o,ooo,0o0 — eight times as much as the $500,000,000 spent in I939. Fifty~tivo per cent or more than $2,ooo,ooo,ooo, would b»: raised by direct taxation and the re- mainder would come from the sale of war sav- ings stamps and certificates, compulsory sav- ings and in two Victory Loan drives. Cau- aclians, he said, have three "hates." They hate war and provide money to end it; they hate in- flatioti and control wtages and prices to pre- vent it; tlicy hale ivaut and war savings will liclp to prevent want in the after-war years.

What is sauce for the U.S.A. goose should be ditto for the Canadian gander. Prices Atl- ministrator Leon Henderson, Washington, an- nounces the government's plan to provide tires ‘to keep every United States passenger car “roll- ing for essential mileage" throughout the war. The announcement-setting forth strictest con- trol over mileage, speed, rubber, gasoline, tire care and car-sliarittg~—\vzls the first Official in- dication that the Office of Price Atlmiuislra- lion construed the recent Bernard Baruch Corn- mittce report on the rubber situation as calling for tires for every driver. Mr. Robert W. Horton, deputy director of the O.P.A., in charge of information, confirmed this interpre- taliou whcu questioned by saying: “The Baruch (‘timmitlecx after a long and careful study, said that everybody could gct tires. This is our plan, to try and get tires to everybody."

A correspondent writes to the Halifax Herald as follows:

"Mr. Donald Gordon, of Ottawa, now has the power ‘to direct ra- tioning and generally control llv- lug.’ "If that ls so, ll/s too bad he couldn't come down to Halifax for u. while. There are some Win85 around here that are being ra- tloned ln lust the opposite way from what niev should be.

~~Tiiere are tca and coffee. for

instance. _ "If {III airman. on his way Over- seas, perhaps, or some dlsabled sailor off a tot-pedoed Ship, asks for n second cup of coffee 1n a Halifax restaurant, he ls told, ‘No; you can only have one cup. It's rnllotted.’

Yet, at the blg supper dances, ten and coffee are served galore in h0tels or clubs or \Vh€I'8\'PI‘ the party ls held. Since many of the guests are well ‘llt’ by the time refreshments are served, often half of this spread, includ- ltig the tea and coffee, ls wasted. At one ball not long kgo. lt was reported that dozens of cups of tea and coffee had w be tlirotvn out. All this, while fighting men in the forces, and all the rest. of us, are held clown to one cup.

“If it, ls really true that Mr. Gordon now has power to ‘control living’, I would like to introduce him to some people I know who are certalnlv in need of ‘control’ of some kind from somewhere. One couple I have been told about holding important executive posl- tloris, thanks to wartime actlvltles. are making more money than they ever had before, In the past three years, lt ls stat/ed. they have not made any worthwhlle contri- bntlon to the wur effort, either physlcally or financially, but every week.
