QUITE A CONTRAST

Our local contemporary finds it worthy of remark that Conservative policies, both. federal and provincial, were warmly indorsed b'y all the speakers who participated in Tues- day's nominating conventions at Georgetown and Bedeque. True, the news value of the statement, would be greater if it applied fp Liberal conventions. According to our con- temporaryb own reports, Mr. Moln- tyre and Mr. Lea. differ materially with regard to their attitude on highway experimentation. Mr. Mc- Intyre, with the banking of the Lib- eral organ, is all for mainng this matter a “political issue." Ml‘, lea gave his unsolicited assurance that he had no intention of doing so.

approval of the Government's policy. I.s did also Mr. J. J. Larabee. It is significant also that even after Mr. Leo's “platform and policy" had passed through the party mangle, the plank regarding “a thorough investigation into the efficient and economical systems of road build- lng"-in contradistinction to the exceedingly uneconomical expendi- ture of $27,000 a mile incurred on the McIntyre highway-was retain- ed as one of the “principal" policies on which the Liberal party would appeal. Certainly the convention which renominated Messrs. McIn- tyre and Cox, and which passed a ‘resolution denouncing low-priced highway experimentation, had noth- ing to do with drafting that plank. nor could- they be expected b0 give it their approval! Premier MacMillan made a strong point at the Georgetown convention when he referred to the harmony and co-operatlon between the fed- eral and provincial Conservative re- presentatives, which has resulted in the bringing to this Province, during the past four years, of upwards of a million dollars in cash, not to speak “or the substantial - crease of $150,- 000 annually in subsidy through the presentation made before the White Commission. And he pointed out that it was through the failure of Liberal administrations here and at Ottawa to co-operaie successfully together, that the Duncan Commis- sion recommendations were so long neglected and ignored. . 'I‘he fact that the Conservatives succeeded in “bringing home the bacon" during a. period of unprece- dented depression is the, surest guarantee the electors will require that they can work harmoniously together in prosperous times, which are now in sight for Canada. And. perhaps the best evidence cf Liberal inability to obtain anything but "goose-eggs" is furnished by the Opposition members at the present tints, in the pulling and tugging that is going on over Liberal party polic- ies. It is self-evident that if they cannot agree when out of office. they would be exceedingly unlikely i: do so if they got into power.

'A WORTHY CAUSE

j The annual meeting of the Char- lottetown Free Dispensary takes place tonight in the board r0001 Oi the City Building. when the reports oi.‘ the year's activities will be sub- mitted and an address delivered by Dix. Keeping, Provincial Health Of- ficer. The work accomplished by this charitable institution is a most necessary and important 011C. and one practical way of showing inter- est and appreciation in the work is ' by attendance at tonight's meeting.

Cn Saturday the annual envelope collection for the Dispensary takes place. The response in the past has been generous, but it is well to rc- menrber that durlng the past winter there have been many and heavy demands on the institution, and that every cent contributed to this wor- thy cause is a humanitarian invest- ment of the greatest importance. A special effort on the part of our cit- llens this year in responding to Sat- urday's financial appeal will there- fore be appreciated.

A NATIONAL THEATRE

A plan for a national theatre at Ottawa, says a writer in the Manitoba. Free Press. is takinfl form in ‘the minds of some Canadians in- terested in the drama. The Domin- ion Drama Festivals held at the capital in 1933. 1934 and this year have brought to notice ‘a large company of able performers. At each festival at least one play by a Canadian author has figured on the programme. There seems to be enough dramatic talent in the country, literary and liistrionlc, t0 justify e, hope for a national theatre.

There is. of course, often a long lapse of time between the birth of such e. hope and the appearance of an actual theatre, complete with actors, stage crew and audience. Baa-nerd Shaw in his one-Mt play, “The Dark Lady of the Sonnets," makes Shakespeare plead to Queen Elizabeth for a national theatre in

libel-tie; with history, but the idea is certainly an old one in England and yet there L; still no national theatre there. The nearest approach is the Old Vic, the endowed Inn- don house where Shakespeare is performed every season. _ Possibly it is devotion to free speech that has kept the theatre a. private enterprise in Great Britain. The state, when it subsidize; a theatre, naturally acquires a oer- tain control over the plays produced there. Since plays are a medium for the expression of opinion on all sorts of public questions. that means a degree of control over opinion. To take a concrete case, it is hardly likely that an American national theatre (if it had existed) would have produced "Of Thee I Bing," a musical play which presented the president, vice-president, chief jus- tice and other high functionaries

In Westminster Hail. on the very stone floor wliereon the British parliamentary system was establish- ed in i256 the House of Lords and the House of Commons tendered addresses of loyalty and congratul- ation tq Their Maiesties. The King replied to his parliament. Of neo- essity such speeches have a formal note, yet their heartfelt sincerity glowed in every sentence. Note- worthy was the emphasis laid on the elasticity of tho British consti- tution which allows the nation; of the Empire to meet changes with- out revolutionary shock. Another point overseas listeners cannot fall to have noted was the equal prom- inence accorded to the domlnions along with the Mother Country. Here in its traditional setting was history in the making.

It is noted in a London despatch that the annual service of the Order of St. Michael and Bt. George will be held in St. Paul's Cathedral on Empire Day, Fxiday, May 24. The service will include the Commemoration of the Departed and the taking down and anlxing of banners in the chapel. ‘rho in- stallation of lord Athlone as chan- cellor of the order will form part of the service. The Duke of Glou- cester will be present and will hang his banner in the chapel.

Belgium, oft protesting that she would not, has deserted the gold standard. Only fiance. Switzerland and Holland still hold unqualified- ly to gold in a. paper money world. It i; only France that really counts in this group. Her position is such that she can probably stick to gold until the world returns to it-if she ls willing to pay the price. The ad- verse balance of trade does not seem to affect her stock of geld, and it is likely that she could withstand any foreign raid on the vaults of the Bank of France. It is scarcely possible. as fiance is on the bullion rather than the gold coin standard, that her own hoard- ers can bring her to grief. It is not loss of gold that will cause over- throw of the gold standard or dc- valuation ofthe franc. It is loss of nude and declining business-Mag- azine of Wall street.

The gold judgment was. perhaps, one of the most remarkable ever pronounced by a judicial body any- where. Then, as now, there was l. very sharp conflict of judicial opin- ion. Nevertheless, looking at one re- sult after another. it is impossible to escape the conclusion that the NRA and the Constitution do not get along very well together. There are a great many people in the United States who are glad of this, who think that business recovery will be accelerated in proportion as the NRA is discredited, whether through legal process or through the failure of its various features to produce economic benefits prom-

. WHICH HEART BEATS

Youmay wonder how the electro- cardfograph works and what the “writlng" means as the doctor care- fully reads it. The electrocardio- graph simply records how the heart is beating-the strength of the first beat which pushes the pure oiood from the left side of the heart through the large vessel above it to all parts of the body, and ' the strength of the second beat, tvhich pushes the used or impure blood from the right side to the lungs only, to be purified.

Them is a "spot" or node in the upper right side of the heart which is the "pacemaker" setting the pace for the heart rate, and also two other nodes which start the heart. contracting. but the trouble is that every cell in the heart has the pow- er of contracting and may start the heart contracting “out of turn."

Thus when the heart doesn't beat in its regular way it may be due to some trouble in one of the three regular "nodes" or some single cell may be starting the contractions. Moreover the natural impulses to make the heart beat may be "block- ed" at some point; thus heart block doesn't mean that the heart is fblocked" with blood, but the nerve lllllluises causing the heart. beat have been blocked or interfered with ill some way.

Dr. Chauncy C. Maher, in a talk iiifore the Medical Round Table of Chicago, said that when the heart beat very fast (200 to the minute). when there were extra complete beats, when the heart beat missed now and then, or when the first and second beats ran together, it showed trouble with heart muscle. with the vessel feeding the heart muscle, or with the node or spot where the impulses start.

By reading the “writing" made by the electrocardiograph and compar- ing with the writing made by a nor- mal heart, the trouble and its prob- able cause could be learned Just as the X ray film reveals trouble in the lungs, stomach or elsewhere in the

able information to the physician.

These machines are usually found only in hospitals and in the offices of heart specialists because like an efficient X ray outfit they are costly to install. Your doctor makes use of the electrocardlograph as he does the x P85’. when he wishes to con- iirm his own ndifings ,
