PLAY FOR ounsctvss

A visitor returned lately from England tells that she stood across from one of the largest “sauce” factories in London. as the girl em- ployees came out at noon, Satur- =day. to take their weekly afternoon holiday. At least 99% of them were equipped for the river. tennis, and even for cricket. The afternoon was to be spent not only outdoors, but in some active athletic pursuit.

The welfare nurse of another fac- tory. where thousands of girls are employed. told our visitor that ai- ‘hcugli her duties were to see that the girls should get plenty of out- loor "play." that she had very little to do along that line with the English girls. as they needed no encouragement whatever. She compared this with her work in a zit-Vs college in America, where it was a matter of’ “coaxing" the students to get into outdoor athlet- ‘cs or games.

Fortunately a great many of our zfrls on this side are now taking up outdoor play. On every field or playground now there may be seen zroups playing soft ball.

However this matter of play for boys and girls. and men and wo-i men. is on a different basis in the ‘ivo countries.

in America we admire the very proficient in every linc of sport. We want to see the best man or the host team of its kind perform, and we'll turn out in thousands to see hem. it isn't any wonder that we can turn out such specialists on his side of the water.

Now the British boy and girl. man and woman. turn out in crowds to see championship football match- es, or the English Derby on these ipecial occasions. but every hair holiday. and every evening. they ire indulging in some outdoor activ- ity on their own account. in other words they do their own nlayitig. their own performing, in- stein] of having it done for their plcasilro by others.

And so l am just passing this along, so that as a people we may

"You can al- ways find a job in the American cities" he said. Winter or Summer — here we may be left to starve or charity during the winter." He has some cause for the views thus ex- pressed. and who is to blame in the matter? I think iMr. Meighen has put his finger on the weak spot and it is the lack of an intelligent appreciation of the value- of the development of our own industries that is starwing out our young people into the prosperous cities and towns of the United States. which has so long benefited from .1 really effective protective tariff. The Liberals may say they favor Protection but if so why are their nflilir attempting to defeat Mr. Zlleighen in his own constituency

That to my mind is a- sign that the much heralded slogan. “Protection will? take no root in the West” is the slogan of the Liberals as well as the Progressives, Why do they dish us up their oft repeated assertions that they are just as patriotic as any pary if it were not for the fact that they themselvesv have doubts about the matter? A great many of the people out West are somewhat bewildered and not a few dis- gusted.
