FRIDAY, AUGUSTllfg 1929

SATURDAY NIGHT TRAFFIC- Bsturday evening shoppers com- plain of what to them appears to be an unrecessary inconvenience in the number of motorists who habitually parade the business streets of the city. without any apparent reason. driving round and round the busi- ness blocks during the heaviest traf- fic hours. This practice increases the congestion and makes the street intersections in the up-town district more dangerous than they otherwise would be. If these motorists would use the less frequented streets for their outings on Saturday evening it would be better for business and would greatly facilitate the handling of tramc. Many citizens who have cars ‘and who use them regularly luring the week prefer t0 do their Saturday night shopping on foot, and this Ipractice, if it were more gen- srally adopted, would relieve the pre- sent trafiic congestion considerably. The source of complaint, however, is not so much the motoring shopper as the car driver who spends the even- ing aimlessly following the stream of traﬂlc, passing and re-passing the same exasperated traffic policeman about every ten minutesyand appar- ently never taking thought of the in- convenience he is causing to others who are less idly engaged,

FLAG arrqvarra

Visitors to Cbariottatown have ﬂmmented on the uliusual display of patriotic zeal on the part‘ of the Government in flying the Union Jack continuously from the flagpole of the Provincial Building. Hereto- fore the practice has been to fly the [lag when the Legislature was in lession. on public holidays and other special occasions. The daily ﬂying of tho flag may be an indication of the ultra-loyal sentiment of our leg- islative executives, or it may be in accord with new regulations. We don't profess to be an authority on the etiquette of ths question; but we do suggest that it would look belt- ier to lower the flag daily at sundown. The Union Jack is the symbol of an Empire on which the sun never seis- To permit this symbol tn remain on s. ﬂagpole after sunset would be ac- gauntgd gross ignorance on the ‘part of s private citizen. When the of- fence is perpetrated over the histor- ic Confederation Chamber and seat of the Provincial Government, as it was l. few nights ago. there is no accounting for itl Charlottetown, in the course of the next few dayl. will be visited by one of His Majesty's warships. and if we are to make a pleasant impression on the visitln! naval officers and crew it will not b, by the repetition of a govern- mental blunder of this kind-

U. B. TARIFF BACKFIRES.

Commeriting on the dissatisfaction clilltd by‘ the min muesli: new before the U. B. Congrus, the Lon- don Bpectaor says: _

partly comic is that the enmitiee

and disappointment created union!

Americans themselves prevent i“-

ternai satisfaction from being se-

cured at the price of oifenee t0 nearly all other countries. Presi- dent Hoover undoubtedly gave his promise to help the farmers inthe \belief that the Protective system need not be appreciably enlarged. m» believed that the new tariﬂ would be mainly an agricultural measure. The scramble at Wash- ington, however, has ruined that comfortable hope. The farmers are now saying that although new duties in their favor enable them to sell better, other new duties make everything which they must buy more expensive. 0n the whole they are inclined to think that they are "down" on the transaction, Whenever the tariff is re-opened everybody grabs what he can get. A correspondent of tho Manches- ter Guardian in Monday's paper gave some ludicrous examples of the appeals for Protection-apple- growers demanding that bananas should be taxed in order that they might have a clear iield to sell their apples. tomato-growers demanding that Italian tomatoes should be taxed in order that Ital- ians, who generally import tomgt- oes from their old country, should be compelled t0 eat Amerioln to- matoes. The Democrats lino ffﬂnkly thrown their Free Trade

Principles overboard during the

scramble. "I know it's- a bigstcal,"

Said one Democrat member of Con-

kress, "but I'm going to help my

people steal while the seat-ling is

good." Econcmicprinciple and the probable effect upon international relations do not seem to have‘ been given the slightest consideration.

The argument of every delegate

before the Tariff Committees was

in effect "f want to tax what I

sell and to put on the free list

what I buy."

‘A fund is being raised in irnglsna to provide s. pension for Matthew Wellington. an African dervsnt of David Livingstone, who helped to carry the great explorers body to the coast. Matthew, now an old man, is in dependent circumstances.

When Livingstone died his African followers removed his heart and buried it. at Ilala. and then. having roughly mummied his body by the use of native drugs, carried it some 1,500 miles to the coast, being several times attacked on the way and hav- ing to repel or circumvent their ls- sailants.

The object of the Commission is not only to use its best QDdGBV-nis to provide for the peopls of Ontario at cost. an adequate and reliable supply of electric energy, but also to insure that the cost ofithe electric energy to the consumers shall be the mini- mum consistent with the stability of the enterprise. It has accomplished this to the extent that the electric power ratoe to the people of Ontario aro the lowest in_ North America. Last year thecost of power used for domestic purposes was less than two cents per kilowat hour, while the avenge cost in the United States was set down at seven cents.

Rural electrification is provided by the Commission in districts of about 100 equate miles each. About 3,790 miles '0! transmission lines have been constructed to date. the provincial Government paying half the cost b: the rural transmission lines and equipment. It is a great boon to the people of the big Province by the Lakes who number one-third.of the People of the Dominion, that they have cheep electric power and light in their cities, towns and country districts.

MORE SAVE THAN SUI‘

The slogan "save the surface and you save all," has certainly been s greet help to the paint industry be- cause paint prevents decay in the same manner our denial hygienists are reminding us that if the teeth be brushed regularly the surface enamel will be preserved thus preventing decay.

Nowthisisofcourseiruetoa great extent, but as pointed out be-

fore, the children of theforeign immigrants who come to om- shores have never seen a, toothbrush and yet they have wonderful teeth.

Now why do theyqiavc such good teeth?

Because (the mothers ate the right kind of food before tho children were born, and also because these children eat the right kind of food themselves.

In the examination of the teeth of Englishmen from various parts of the country a research worker rec- ently stated that she found the greet,‘ majority of them when examined in‘ microscopic section, showed very de- fective development of the texture of both enamel and dentine. .

Experiments show that while some foods have a beneficial inﬂuence in supplying lime for the teeth, other

foods actually interfere with the lime building process. .

The most pbwmul health rui- build- ing lime into the teeth is from vita- min D.

This is found in animal fats, par- ticularly the fats of certain sea fish.

It is found. in egg yoke, milk, suet, buiter and green vegetables. These contain lime and phosphorus.

The value of cereah as ‘a breakfast food is dependent to a great extent on the milk cream or butler that is used with them, ra Mr than in the cereals themselves.

That is from the standpoint,

swimmer milk. cream, butter or animal fats are not available, and it is then ‘that cod liver oil so rich in Vitamin ,D becomes so valuable to the growing child.

Bo don't do away with the tooih- brush. It is needed for the surface of the teeth. but see that the child gets some o; the above foods daily. It is no use saving the surfacs o; s tooth that has become decayed from lack of nourishment.

Perhaps if the course of true low. starting at the famous sits-r, had/sl- ways run smooth. the Green might have gone on its wsy for centuries to come. But many romances ‘have crashed-abuses have been practiced. trouble has come from lack of mar- riage records. some of the marriages have been difficult to prove, it was

becoming too easy to get rid of s bride taken on st Gretna Green-and so the government has at last come to the rescue.

Gfotnl d-reeirs popularity dates back to 11M, when Liord Chancellor Hardwickk marriage aotwss passed in England, which provided: _

"Any person sole matrimony in any other place than a church or public chapel. without banns or other license, shsihon conviction. be sd- judged guilty of felony, and be trans- ported for fourteen years, and all such marriages shall be void."

Then the sudden flights to Scotland began. for here across the border all that was neoesss y was to repeat the words, “This is my wife" and “Th1; is my husband" before some one—a.ny- body. it seems-and the marriage was sealed. Tile somebody or anybody was not, 1s is popularly supposed, the blacksmith, for there is no record of any blacksmith msnying any of these runaways, but usually the 11m. keeper or even the toll-keeper at Bark Bar, when the pursuit by the father of the bride msde the utmost haste necessary and there was no waiting even to travel the extra half- mile to arrive at the famous Gre Green. .

For sixty years he was Gretna! “par-son." and he planned to leave the "business" to whoever should win the hand of his granddaughter. I-fe died in January, isu, aged a2, arid was buried in the churchyard there“.
