favorably with local figures. Discus- aing the situation The Week-Iliad

Review says:

“There is a feeling among some University teachers (which may not be Justified) that the stand- ard of matriculation, especially by way of the general schools exam- ination, is not as lrgh as it was. This may merely be the feelings of a laudator tempcris aoti, but matriculation has ' undoubtedly suffered from the enormous num- bers who take it simply to prove the competence of their general knowledge and not with any in- tention of going on to the Un- iversity. Mr. Mander, of the Nat- ional Union of Teachers, is right in saying that there should be two examinations, and that mat- riculation should be restored to its proper place as the entry to a. University career. In this he has the support of the Association of University Teachers.”

WHAT 11' MEANS"

With 200 news-hungry journalists prowling about the corridors of Parliament Building and the Cha- teau Isurier at Ottawa where the committees of the Ilnperial Econ- omic conference are meeting, it is not surprising that already, with the conference scarcely more than a week under way, such detailed and varied reports havemppeared as to make it difficult for the aver- age reader to gather what it is all about. Official bulletins of the committee meetings are issued twice daily to the pres; but it is the newspaper man's job to elabor- ate on these reports from what- ever special information he has been able to pick up. If his inform- ation happens to be wrong, his whole viewpoint may undistorted. Or he may be right in his infonn- ation and wrong in the mterpretat-

Naturally. the working out in de- tail of the facts above enumerated will involve difficulties and dis- agreements, some of them perhlpl of a serious nature. But the confer- ence having aireldy pfukfflfld I0 far, it is inconceivable that it should fail ultimately in its abiw- tives.

.4 CONTRAST. _

In general conversation following the dinner gival by the Dominion Government to the press represen- tatives attending the Imperial Ec- onomic Conference, an American

Journalist discussed with some of his Canadian confreres the spectacle

of the "bonus army" than encamp- ed at Washington and asked why it was that Ottawa seemed to be flu-- mune from such hectic demonstra- tions. The Canadian newspaper men suggested two explanctions. In the first place, they pointed out that Canada had treated her war vet- erans with more consideration than had the United States, pensfons re- lief being apportioned in this country‘ou grounds of individual merit, first by a pensions ia-ibunal then through specially “ ‘ ’ appeal boards, and finally, if nec- essary, through the‘ Privy Council And while the machinery of such courts was slow in some cases. there was a general feeling among veter- ans that a sincere effort was be- ing made to cope with the situat- ion. In the second place, it would be difficult, under any circmn- stances, to imagine an organization like the Canadian Legion sponsor- ing anything in the way of mob dem- onstrations, such action being alien to all their ideas of British demo- cratic government. Canadians-and especially, the newspaper men be- lieved, those Canadians who par- ticipated in the War-retain a very profound regard for constituted law and order. ‘rhey have no use what- ever for revolutionary tactics, and agitators whir would. suggest such methods as a means of intimidating the authoritlerto gain recognition at Ottawa OYVGIQCWYIEXE: would ‘find

themselves in adecidedly unpopular minority.

THE DIFFERENCE

At a recent meeting of the Wind- sor Board of Education the question of "secret? meetings was under discussion. A veteran member, a newspaper-man, stoutiy advocated open meetings, or at least having the press present: while a new

A commonly assigned reason!" c.‘ ' llty among educated Youul people is lack of SPEC"? mm“ training. The difficulty of making this a part of the curriculum is due largely to seceta tau differencel. l0 disagreement as to whstJt is right to teach.

The idea that the Imperial Coll- ference is moving along lines sul- gested by the Dunning Budzet is a good joke although not so interlded.

There is always a certain amount of satisfaction in placing the blame somewhere. The eclipse of the sun which is due on August 31st 15.83p- posed by some'to be the cause of the cold and wet weather to. which we were subjected during the mouth of June and the greater part of July. Every unfavorable change 1n the weather is attributed to some phase of the moon. These chans- es are, to use the wordsof a_ Scot- tish verdict, not provenflrhcre other causes than the moon format- eorological changes and they are far from being known. ' '

Speaking recently at a university function, sh- Austen Chamberlain asserted that the age cf oratory was gone. Not only gone, but gone be- yond recall. ‘Never again he opined, would the halls of Westminster re- sound to such speeches as made famous the days of Burke, Glad- stone, Disraeli, Cobdeu and Bright. All this is rather disturbing. But Sir Austen may have inferred too much from present political com- ditions which are forcing parlia- mentary " usslons along lines of econonrcs which call for dryer pro- fessional utterances for their en- unciation.

Why all this bother about ‘fof-

fensive" and "defensive" naval weapons at Geneva? Is the submar- ine offensive? Are battleships, mine layers and bombing planes defen- sive? ‘There is one simple ‘rule by which every case can be decided: the other fellow's weapon is ex- tremely offensive, your own is pure-_ ly defensive.

Then a considerable amount of fat is necessary to pport the ab- dominal organs all ofwhich are at- tached to the back bone and ‘hang’ cut in the abdomen. Supporting hard tissue lined with fat holds these organs up in their proper places in the abdomen.

The individual who has reduced his weight; too rapidly frequently has a great deal of abdominal dis- tress-paln in back and in ab- domen.
