Fort, president of the company whit is conducting the tour, and who is now in Montreal, states that his organization is working to have the people of the United States fam- iliarize themselves with Canada as n. place for holiday recreation, and the tour this summer has been arranged with this end in view.

It is gather unfortunate that in any such undertaking, where the co- operation of the Canadian National Railways is involved, an "all-Canad- ian" tour should begin at Montreal rather than with the Maritime Pro- vinces.‘ Many distinguished visitors from Great Britainand European countries have had their itineraries arranged in the same unsatisfactory

War Graves Commission

The tenth annual report of the ‘Imperial War Graves Commission galls to mind the epigram of Calli- mtchus that the brave are not dead; they rest in sacred slumber.

050 are missing only in technical

sense, for they have been found but

not identified, and are buried as un- known. The figures given in this table are not final, perhaps they cannot be final, for every week the dead are still being found in old battlefields.

St. Valentine's Day

The origin of St. Valentine's Day. and of the cusom of sending "valen- tines" or anonymous love-tokens, written or otherwise, on this occasion. dates back many centuries. Valen-

tine, of Valentinus, is the name of a considerable number of saints. The most celebrated are the.two martyfl whose festivals fall on the 14th of February-the one, a Roman llflfli.

the other, bishop of Terai. It would appear from the earliest accounts that both belonged to the same Bel‘- iod, namely, to the reign of the em- peror Claudius, that both died on the same day, and that both were buried on the Via Flamlnia, but at different distances from Rome. ‘The 5t. Val- entlnua who unspoken of I-I the apostle of Rhaetia, and venerated in Passau as its first bishop, flourished in the 5th century. “The association" of the lovers' festival with St. Valen- tina seems to be purely accidental-

_______. Prohibition in India

Gandhi's ultimatim to Lord Irwin, ~the present Viceroy of India, which is phrased, in the Wilsonian manner, in fourteen points, begins with a de- mand for total prohibition. This first point, says the Toronto Globe, is grimly humorous. Indians (unlike the British Army) are not users of alcoholic beverages, but millions of them use opium. Gandhi is more‘ anxious to cut off the British army rum ration than to prevent Indian mothers from drugging their infants with the poppy product. The idea of prohibition for the other ‘fellow, is not altogether new, even in this Province, but it is the first time that it has been given prominence in a national policy.

British Democracy

When the late President Wilson said, as a reason for United States entering the war, that the world must be made safe for democracy, it is doubtful whether he meant the kind of democracy that is holding sway in that country today. It is more

likely that he had in mind, however

friends if he were so depressed as to inform such friend in aadvance of the general publio that he was about to increase the duties on certain lines of imported goods. Fortunately that is one of the things that is not done. It would‘ be a dishonorable thing to do. But as the case stands certain results will almost inevitably follow such in-

to have made.

An immediate loss of revenue is likely to result. The Canadian mer- chhnt, an importer of textiles and other dry goods usually bought in the British Isles now knows that the preference will be increased. What he does not know and cannot khow until the budget is delivered is how much the increase will be. It may be considerable, or it may be small. The merchant will delay his pur- chase of British drygoods until the budget is delivered. And until that date the revenue will suffer loss. How long it will be before budget‘ day dawns in Ottawa nobody knows,

In the meantime it will not be at all surprising if the Finance Minis- ters premature and unusual deliver- ance receives some adverse criticism in the opposition press and in other ‘circles. A too rneddlesome innova- tor who enters Canada, whether from England or elsewhere and attempts to "set the Thames on fire" by at- taching a. codflsh to his coat tail and "nliinlll! himself a whale, only makes himself ridiculous to the Can- adian public.‘ ‘

KEEPING YOUNG ‘ \ . It is interesting to see the differ- ent methods men and women are using in order to keep young.‘

The fact that they want in keep young is a good sign, but the meth- ods they prefer are those that they think will ‘brinl’ youth back to them. instead of adopting the methods that will retain youth. -

Someone has said that the way to keep young is to “keep limber, loving, and a little bit loony.’

You know of men and women who

seem to keep young despite their age and it is because there is still, a. little of the boy or girl in them and be- .cause they have a love’ in their hearts for everybody.
