His k Majesty's careerpfronl earliest in- fancy, has been crowded with drama, pegeantry and color. He has been in a the centre of international events

V: since childhood. Countless ar- 7 ilcles have been written about him but the present occasion is the first on which the authority of

Whe Royal household has been se- cured for the publication of an of-

which all should be familiar. Teach- ers and students especially will find ‘this work an illuminating comment- ary on international events, particu- larly during the past two momentous The chapters, from the m-st installment, are thrilling and are ‘I written in a charming and intimate ‘istyle.

Olnergetic action of President Hoover in averting an industrial crisis fol-

lowing the recent debacle in the , stock market. It has been well said

3 that m. Home: and Mr. King faced the same general set of circumstances t lest November. Mr. Hoover grappled j with them before they could develop. The King Government dug into the " cyclone cellar and left the country to Providence and to its own devises. While Mr. Hoover was moving the i‘ Ihflle forces 0f his Governmgnt 5mg] i, fitting his will and energy to avoid é i catastrophe, Premier King was ' hunting through Western Canada, in _ln effort to make up his mind p; m e propitious hour of appeal to the people for re-election. _ , And the reaction is precisely what. ‘j might have been expected. In the

States today,_joumals of all - ‘political opinions join in endorsing

leadership which it. is thought has fMUhd o panic comparable m the W?" 1X1 hiswry- In Canada, on the ‘ other hand; strong‘ Liberal papers ' like the Manitoba Free pm, 1,; tho OttawasCitizen have united the Conservative and indepen-

has been besieged with appeals from cities apd provinces, as far east as Montreal, as far west as Vancouver. l-lls answer has been to burrow deep- er into the cyclone cellar. He sends his Minister of Labor occasionally to the top to quote statistics; but the Minister's job is a thankless one, and he too retires under cover of the statement that the Federal Govern- ment has no responsibility in the matter. In the meantime, the com- plaints grow louder, the demand for governmental action more insistent. And tl\e fllll responsibility,’ as every thinking“ Canadian knows, ls upon tho King Government, in that it ha: permitted upwards of $500,000,000 worth of foreign manufactured goods which could and should have been made in Canada, to flood Canada in the last twelve months thereby de- pl-lving Canadian workmen of labor and Canadian farmers, gardeners and dairymen of the market which those Canadian workers would have given them. It is the King Government alone that has created and encour- aged the present conditions enabling foreign capital to exploit Canadian resources from foreign labor in for- eign countries and then to exploit the Canadian market with foreign manufactures. * ~

Laughing It Off

iver, of New York, to discuss the sub- ject of prohibition from an angle 'that is new and in a better-natured ' manner than is usually adopted on either side of this everlasting ques- ftion. Speaking in the U. S. House of Representatives, Mr. Oliver liken- 'ed conditions under prohibition to a i rcvolutioru-a laughing, sporting. toasting revolution.

"The most potent force that the Government must conquer," he is reported in the Congressional Re- mrd as saying, "is the sense of hu- mor of America, Near January 1 ‘ i920, America woke up in church,

took the pledge and resolved to do v better than our fathers. By the l Eighteenth Amendment, Uncle n Sam took a plea of guilty to the I charge that for 150 years he had

been drunk and disorderly. On the ' morning after Uncle Sam laughed, I and the whole world laughed with

him. Judges smile, juries smile, , the police smile, statesmen smile every time the evidence is produc- ed. We have tried by law to make a tenth-rate heaven out of Am- ‘ crica. but have discovered that

paradise is populated not by angels but by human beings."

Part of this statement, suggests a Canadian exchgnge, may be true, The whole of 1c is not truh. Accord- ing to figures cited by former Sen- ator Wadsworth in one of the recent public debates on prohibition, during the ten years that the dry law ‘has ‘existed there have been 250,000 con-

coming ' u. Them ' l t- ed nearly all day and discussed ‘e arrangements for the province of On- tarlo.

An Ottawa despatch to The Globe states that a lively scallion is expect- ed and that as to the date of the election "much will depend on the attitude of the opposition during the coming session. If Mr. Bennct and his followers obstruct unduly the Government may dissolve and appeal to the country for e mandate."

The Globe finds that "the Conser- vatives are'displaying keen interest in uevelu-ments and watching for signs of an election. They believe the Government will appeal to the country in the near future if the time seems auspicious and the issues promising." ’

That s Dominion election is not far of! has long been apparent owing to the lapse of time since the exist- ing Parliament was elected in 1920, but the instance cited is the first in- timation from any responsible Lib- eral source that a. dissolution may come during the course of the months that make up the probable duration of a session.

"1f tho Opposition obstructs" is n phrase that goes for nothing. Those who oppose the Government of the day are constantly being charged with obstruction whatever party may- be in power. Mr. Bennett and his followers will not be much alarmed by the threat of dissolution. It is their duty to insist upon full and free discussion of the public questions that come before them.

The threat to the Opposition is at. the same time an intimation that the Government is seeking in advance a. pretextfor dissolution, to be ready for use any clay. By so much it brings dissolution out of the ,ossible and into the probable column of who‘. is likely to happen.

It becomes more evident as time passes that the Government in its perplexlty and varied troubles has become convinced that it has lost ground in public opinion and has de- cided to appeal to the country before its chances have changed from bad to worse. 0f course, any Government will flght‘for its life, however hope- less the prospect may be.

Since 1926 province after province has fallen out of the Liberal column ‘The short grain crop of 1929, and fal- ling prices for wheat yet unsold, have mllitated against the Government in the West where unemployment, which it refused to assist ill-relieving has gone far to alienate the support which the Government received in that quarter in 1926.

in the deliverance of party after the meeting in the Prem- ler's ‘office to consider organization for the campaign. out by The Globe was sh admission that Mr. Bennett had been more al- ert than the Libcral Leaders in get- ting ready for emergencies. An air of depression and foreboding seems to have been a. distinct . of the gathering.-

HOW THE BODY DOES ITS WORK

As a student I was satisfied to learn about the structure of the body; about bones, nerves, and blood ves- sels, ancl about the various orgltns. and also how in a general way all the different parts of the body did their work.

I learned that the mouth, stomach, pancreas, and bile made digestive juices; that the liver stored up sugar; that the skin regulated ‘the heatf that the heart pumped the blood and the lungs purified it.

And that all these various process- es wcre governed by the brain and nerves.

Now Just how these various actions took place, how the body stored water, and gave it out to the‘ tissues when needed; how the sugar and other necessary materials were muln~ tuined in the proper amounts in the body, and numerous other processes, were not taught because they were not. known.

But now our-patient physiologists arc working on these problems in] physiology and erldoavoring to get at the exact methods by which Nature regulates all our needs in the body. ‘

Dr. W. B. Cannon, of Howard says that no matter what is going on about you, the atmosphere, food, clothing, water, the day, the night, the sun, the rain, heat or cold, Nat- ure has to regulate your body, (that is the inside cf your body) so that it cannot be influenced or injured by any of these things about you.

For instance you have to do some hard fvork and what happens?

Sugar must be used up by the muscles and more sugar thus immed- iately given out to the blood by the liver from its storage depot. Pcrspira- tiorl or sweat is poured out. by-the skin to kee the body from getting too hot. c blood vessels in the lungs enlarge so that the lungs can take in more air to purify the cxtra blood needed for the hardwork. The blood vessels going to the internal‘ ‘organs actually contract-decrease in‘

size-so as not to allow the bloodto ‘go there instead of to the muscles and lungs where the blood is need-
