y‘ The Air Pageant

here on Monday next is naturally being hailed with great enthusiasm by all classes of our citizens. The pageant is one of the most spec- tacular sights ever seen in Canada and has drawn enormous cmwds at every showing. The fliers have been given a wonderful reception, not only from Canadian admirers but also from United States spec- tators, especially during their good will ﬂight from Detroit to Pembina, North Dakota, points of entry and departure for customs purposes. The western Canadian tour drew audiences aggregating more than 225,000. So well was the show re- ceived that there have been num- erous requests to make it an annual event.

Equally successful has been the Eastern tour, which opened in Montreal at St. Herbert airport on August 15, when a. crowd in excess of 50.000 was on hand to witness the pageant- In the Maritime Pro- vinces also the enthusiasm has been [very keen.

It was feared, owing to the dif- ficulty involved in preparing the Upton airport in time for the pag- ‘eant, that it would be impossible for the fliers to visit this Province. It ls due entirely to the enterprise and public spirit of Dr. J. S. Jen- kins that this airport was made available and put in condition for the event. The wet weather of last week greatly retarded the work, but the Doctor was able to secure post- ponement of the pageant until next Monday, and in the mean- time the preparations have been pushed for w a r d successfully and have met with the entire Blmroval of Mr. G. M. Ross, mnn~ ager of the tour-

The pageant programme appears elsewhere in The Gust-aim, and will doubtless be read with great interest. It is hoped and expected that our citizens will show their appreciation by turning out in large numbers to witness the evclzt. The show is not only ivorth viewing as a spectacle-it is also one hund- red D61‘ cent Canadian, both pet'- sonnel and aircraft. The co-oyacra- tion of the City Council has been secured in making it a success, and it should be a matter of congratu- lation that this city has been placed deﬁnitely on the map, along with larger centres of Canada, as an air port sufficiently important to war- rant the holding of the manoeuvres which have created such enthusi- \sm from coast to coast.

Lea Organ Disgruntled

to a typical exhibition of silicon over the highway situation, ‘WHICH l: predicts will go from bad i0 worse now that the Lea-McIntyre Government has been voted out of powcr- Among other things, it clit- iciscs the Conservatives for having ‘opposed the introduction of new road machinery."

challenged by The Guardian, Ind in which the political bias of the writer was apparent in every paragraph. The Conservat- lves, as The Guardian pointed out at that time, did not oppose the Introduction of road machinery. Such machinery was in use in this Province before the Lea Govern- ment aver saw office. What they did oppose was the unauthorized

The British Crisis

There need be no manner oi doubt, says a well change, regarding the financial po- sltion of Great Britain as distinct from the Government. The treasury is faced with the immediate need of‘! heavy short-term credits, but these short-term credits are a bagntelle compared with what the rest of the wcrld owes the Mother Country on long-term con- ditions. The bankruptcy of Ger- many has hit London hard, but the resources of ﬁnancial London are immense and the material reserves of the British people comparatively inexhaustible. The Job of the coali- tion is to tide over a temporary crisis so that the Mother Country

may continue to pay 100 cents on the tlcllar and so that London may

resume its place as the ﬁnancial centre of the world. The difficult situationbwhich is 110W being dealt with is directly traceable‘ to the

RIIEUMAWIC raven. A HEART ulsullsa

One of the lessons the medical profession is trying to teach the public is that acute rheumatism or rheumatic fever is a disease of the heart. .

DWiIIB on attack oi‘ acute rheu- matism there is usually dilatation or enlargement of the heart; t be- comes weak and irritable an ‘ this weakness and irritability remain for some time after the fever itself passes alvny. The lining of the heart, the covering of the heart, and the heart muscle itself, can all be af- fected during an attack of acute rheumatism.

Now it is possible to have acute rheumatism without affecting the heart, but statistics show that nine- ty-ﬂve per cent of patients with rheumatic fever have heart disease either old or recent.

In some cases the heart may be affected and yet show no sign, and "it may be only after months or years that a. murmur or irregular action shows that there must have been some affection oi,’ the heart be- cause tllelsymptoms now existing are due to the processes of inflammation which occurred during the rheuma- tic attack.

Remember however that all cases of heart disease are not due to rheumatism or to the after effects of rheumatism.

Remember also that heart disease may be present with no sign of any murmur or a leaky valve. The heart is just unable to do its work.

However it is, well to remember that many cases of heart disease in later life, for which no cause can be found, may be due to an attack of rheumatism of which the patient has no remembrance.

In heart clinics where every kind and condition of heart disease ls net, the general line of treatment is to estimate the amount of mental alld physical work the patient is capable of doing, and then outlining to him just what he can or cannot do if he wishes to prolong his life.

Although it is not posible to un- do the damage that rheumatism or other ailments have done to the heart, nevertheless it is -, ible for these individuals to adjust them- selves to life in such c. way that they can carry on‘ enough physical and mental work to make a real contribution to the community. However heart disrase may be avoided as may also rheumatism in a. great many cases, if infected teeth and tonsils are removed as soon as they are discovered.

Tile Chinese Catastrophe

(Montreal star)

The sympathy ol all civilized peoples, entirely irrespective of race or creed, goes out to China to- day in her hour of awful suffering. So far as is known, her past history contains no parallel to the magni- tude of the death-toll that has been caused by the floods on the Yangtze River. Whole cities have been wiped out. Others are visible merely as spots in a vast storm- tossed sea. Thousands upon thousands of corpses clog the rush- ing waters, and there are prospects that many scores of thousands more may be drowned. It is im-

tircly submerged. Those who have hitherto escaped the flood waters

wnvratr SUGGESTION

Sir,—I notice that children are to be admitted free to the Upton Airport for the ‘Trans-Canada Air Pageant. This is s, splendid move on the part of the management and I think that everything pos- sible should be done to get as many children as we can to the Airport on Monday. I would suit- gest that all the trucks in the city be given by their owners for the conveyance of the city children and that truck owners in the coun- try should nt up their trucks and bring in as many kiddies as they can.

Over In Ireland

(Ottawa Journal)

Ireland for several years has en- joyed a much needed peace. During that time steady progress has been made. Despite world-wide depress- ion, Ireland has gone quietly about her business, put her ﬁnances in order, promoted general and co- operative farming and nlarketing, developed several big power pro- jeets including that on the River Shannon, and consistently has bal- anced her budget in face of internal and external difficulties.

Now things do not seem quite so happy. Troubles have developed on the Ulster border, those old troub- les based on religious differences. and there ‘is the possibility bl’ a gen- eral election within the near future with all the disturbing factors which accompany ‘such an event. A still further source of trouble is the re- turn o! large numbers of the native born from the United States owing to bad times, the diﬁiculty of ﬁnd- ing them employment, and the dan- ger that the younger element may swell the extreme Republican fac- tion. -

If a general election comes (the Cosgrave Government is not bound to appeal to the country for 14 months) the main ﬁght will be be- tween Cosgraves constitutional party and the Republicans led by De Valera. The issue will be the old one of Dominion status as ex- pressed in the Free State, against complete separation as a. republic. The Republicans are still the largest party in opposition to the Govern- ment. The Farmer and Labor groups also are well represented but have generally given support to Mr. Cosgrave. '

While nothing is so hard to fore- cast as the result of an election, it is generally believed that when it comes the Government will be sus- _ tained. The country has no desire to

return to the nightmare of faction as represented by De Valera; it feels ' that Cosgravc stands for peace, pro- gress and prosperity and that there would be no more independence under a republic than there is as a Dominion. Furthrmore, the sanest thinkers in Ireland and her best friends throughout the Empire real- ize that there is much to lose and nothing to gain by complete separa- ‘tion. England is Ireland's best market, she has the certainty of her protection in case of foreign aggres- sion, and the creation of a republic almost certainly would mean civil war between North and South.

Millions of people of Irish descent throughout the world will pray that the land of their forefathers may come through her present troubles, and that the gznlus of her people will continue llcr development as an historic and vital unit in the great commonwealth of British nations. '

BEAUTY ASLEEP

They are all seen, the splendid things,

The lovely songs,’ they are all sung.

Yet here and there a poet sings

As clear as when the world was young.

Thrice welcome then the man is he

Who walks refreshed with heavenly dew,

Since it is harder now to be

A child than when the world was new.

0, dreams were thick u ﬂowers

_ then, ' That now are rare as minted gold, And beauty turns to sleep cym

(Christian Science Monitor.)

Sir Austen Chamberlain and the Manchester Guardian have decided between them that the age of ora- tory is gone. Not only gone, but gone beyond recall. The reason given for this melancholy conclu- sion is that the pettliogging topics of economics, the gold standard, the international bank, and tariff walls, and all the rest of them, do not afford scope to the inspired im- aglnation- The penalty of having a golden subject is apparently that you can not make o. golden speech about it. ,

All this is disturbing. But it would be even more disturbing had not De Quincey advanced exactly the same arguments 100 years ago to prove that oratory was even then in an inevitable decline. Precisely how serious that decline was, Cob- den and Bright, Gladstone and Dis-
