In other words, and with certain unspecified though obviously inferior excep- tions, wood no longer may be used for fuel pur- poses. National Socialist forestry officials re- ceived instructions to take stock of the entire forest supplies in state-owned as well as private property, and with their customary thorough- ness it may be concluded‘ that practically evcry tree in Germany will be earmarked u-hether for “necessary purposes or not.”

Lord Ernie, who died the other day, mct many famous folk in his time, but his first en- counter with one of the most exalted of all was a matter of painful recollection. says The Man- chester Guardian Weekly. Repairs were tak- ing place on the tower of the church in the vil- lage where he spent his boyhood. and he had .1 strong dislike for the architect in charge of the work. One day he saw the architect with .111- other man on the scaffold, examining thc work. and being possessed of a catapult took aim at the seat of the architect's trousers. He ntisscd. but caught the other man in the same region. Thu sequel was a beating and bed ivitltottt sup- per for catapulting the Prince Consort. hus- band of Queen Victoria. Lord Ernie, better known as Roland Prophero, was wartime Min- ister of Agriculture and later on one of Bri- tain's most distinguisl-Led literary peers.

If. is n modern fashion to confuse the. ancient guilds with the trade union, although in fact, as many dif- ferences as resemblances mark the two. The guild was an organization of all the members of a craft, em- ployers, journeyman and apprctttic- es, and not, merely of employes. It, was a conununity in and of itself, with certain rights and prerogatives respecting its trade, commonly rec- ognized and usually confirmed by roynl charter. But. it nevertheless contained u-ithin itself certain seeds which later bore frult in various aspects of trade unionism, as, for lnratance, 1n the closed shop.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS SOCIETY

S11-,—I have noticed with interest your recent editorial note of Prime Ivimlsters Chamberlain's accept- ance of the Honorary Presidency of the League of Nations Union. You will be interested in the following report on the subject taken from

the offical journal of the Leagucé

of Nations Union: "Seldom has the L. N. U. had a better press than ft had for the

letters which passed between the Przme Minister and Viscount, Cecil on Mr. Chamberlain's f

acceptance of an Honorary Presb- dency of the Union. The enemies‘

of the League and the Union were (usmteved. no matter what. the dis- guise under which they attempted to hide their rebuff. The friends of both were much encouraged. “Serious opinion in all parves 1111s agreed on three esscntia s. The Prime Minister had not joined the Union without careful thought. His decision and the letter in which he announced it were proof of his re- solve to support the League and of the high value he sets upon the Union's work. Secondly, Vscount Cecil's invitation 10 Conservatives to give the Union more active help ought to meet wit-h a prompt and generous response. since a balanced all-party membership, ls a sure

party organ sation was bond of 110110111‘ not to allow itself 1.0 be used as an organ of party propaganda or exploit-ed for party purposes. Between parties the Un- 10.1 must be neutral. But between

g1|e's enemies it could not hesitate; it :s duty compelled it. to take sides. Utiless it remained free on world issues to ndvocnte a full League polity it would ltave no reason for existing. Generally, the press ac- knowledged 1.0111 CeciFs fight: to nsist on such a freedom, and re- pudiated any suggestion that, the Prime Minister would ever wish to chalenge it.

“Stich 1s a brief summary of an immense volume of press comment, whose friendly and .hclpfu1 tone deserves grateful acknowledgment."

the mistake of listening to the hordes of Liberal demagogues, over- running the country, denouncing thnse policies. charging them as re- sponsible for the world's depression, and solemnly promising 1,0 wipe them all out. and to institute new potctes (of what kind they dared not mention), and to give employ- ment to all and to land every voter in an Ellysium of peace and pros- parity.

MORE ABOUT SUNBURN

1 We live s0 much indoors-home. factory, office-that to get out. into

the sunshine with its bright cheer.

its warm health givmg ultra-

violet. rays appeals to us so stronS- 1 1y that. we forget. that one can get i too much of a good thing. Thus ft tiappens that, every year when the bright. warm sunshine appears thousands of people .orget that _ the sun has heat as well as bright- i ness and this heat can burn the 1‘ skin and cause shock and prostra-

tlon just as can a severe burn.

As mentioned recently, a severe

sun burn can cause chills, fever, nausea and vomiting. "Large areas of pale, soft un- toughened skin are suddenly ex- 1, posed to an intense summer sun. 1 which is often tntcnsfiit-d by re- 1 flectlon from an expanse of water ‘, or cloudlcss sky. An hour passes 1 without any noticeable change. There 1s no tan and scaroe‘y any stmburn. Yet. alreactv the skin has received stiffictent. heat. to cause severe and painful sunburn six hours hence. Unfortunately the individual doesn't realize it and settles down 1n earnest to acquire a real ‘tan.’ Then follows an agonizing night of parched burn- tng skin that puffs into 1.1111; blist- ers and the weakness and prostra- tlon o.‘ a severe burn follows." 1 some one has well said ithat-the . only way to prevent sunburn ls to , keep your shirt on. l Dr. Allen s. Johnson in Hygeta l tells us that certain oils applied to the skin before exposure seem to hartcn the tann-ng process and prevent burning. but skins vary so much that. the oil does not help all skins.

To relieve pain and symptoms once the skin has been burned Dr. Johnson states. "The stmp‘cst and most effective measure is to apply cold compresses of tannic acid solution. This should be freshly made by dissolving 2 tablespoon- fuls of tannlc acid powder in a glassful of water. Very strong tea. wh’ch has allowed to cool. can be used 1n an emergency’ '

The s11n 1s he‘pfu1 but should be taken 1n small. gradually increas- ing doses until the skin can with- stand it safely.

The tanntc acid treatment re- lieves the pain at once and within twenty-four hours coitverts the

sunburn into a most. gratifying ten. ‘ Saving The West

(Ottawa Journah

Mr. R. O. Sweezey of Montreal has launched a scheme to save the West from drought through an ir- rigation system which would cost. he estimates. some four hundred million dollars. The plan is to build dams that would not; only store up the water in all the prairie streams but. also would conserve the Spring run-off of snow and rain. Then, by thousands of miles of artificial ditches the wat- er would be spread over forty mil- lion acres of the dry areas, with thousands of windmills forcing the water Into the channels where ft is needed most. The project. de- clares Mr. Sweczey, is "gigantic but simple. and entirely feasible at a cost which 1s probably less than two years‘ losses incurred by the present drought conditions."

The Winnipeg Free Press. while expressing gratitude for this dis- play of interest in western affairs. thinks f1. unfortunate that "just when a, tong-term, scientific pro- gram of western farm rehabilita- tion ts under way, competently conceived and directed. attention should be diverted to Mr. Swcezcy‘; scheme " The Free Press adds:

"The West, we fear, must. aban- don the hope of any $400 million irrigation scheme, but ft must not. under any circumstances, aban- don the excellent plans of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Com- mission. In modest, workmanlike fashion ft ls tackling the prob- lem of drought. as ft must. be done.

plans. We have, lift? true, sadly wasted water in the West up to now. Some farmers have even torn down snow fences or cut. trees because the collected snow has delayed them getting on the land. Now we have learned that snow is precious. and we must. save it. where we can. Dams and dugouts are being built all over the prairies to save water v/hich previously ran off unused. But. such dams and dugouts do not. necessarily prove that irrigation Ls possible over the whole area, even though at some selected points, over fairly small areas, 1r- rlgatlon is proven to be the best possible solution of local prob- lcms."
