citizens, young and old, will in“ heartily today in welcoming tn Hﬁice Edward Island I-lis Excel- thc Earl of Bessborough, Governor General of Canada. A de- tqﬂed programme of the Vice Re- .11. visit ls given elsewhere ln this lsgaie.

His Excellency will be driven through many of the streets of Charlottetown this morning follow- ing his arrival at l0 dclock, and it is’. to be hoped that all who can so will fly flags in his honour. 11hr is the first opportunity the present Governor General his had of visiting the Island Pfovincr, and all will join in hop- p"; that u will be a pleasant one. and the forerunner of many sub- qlcquent visits equally enjoyable.

IIROOF OF THE PUDDING

...A despatch from “Toronto carries In zlnnollncelnent from the Ameri- can News Conlpany that 16 Ameri- can ﬁction magazines, recently ‘placed on the dutiable list, have de- cided to print in Canada.

This will give employment to

Canadian printers, mailers, paper and ink makers and printing press manufacturers. More satisfying to their readers is the announcement that these “printed in Canada." magazines will sell for ﬁve cents less

than formerly.

Those anti-protection Jeremiahs yvho say that protection always adds to the cost of commodities, will have a hard time explaining how a ﬁve cent tax on an Ameri- can magazine, not only results in it being printed in Canada, but also in it being sold in Canada, for ﬂve cents less.

A LOST CONTINENT

Atlantis, legendary sunken con- tincnt which the ancient Greeks supposed to lie somewhere “just; be- yond the pillars of Hercules,” or, as we would say, outside the Straits of Gibraltar, is again a subject of conjecture, this time by modern Icicntists, who believe that an ans- wer to the riddle may come from I study of ocean depths. It is as- sumed that the vanished island continent, if it ever existed, lies ouried in the Atlantic off the coast‘ ‘of Africa. beneath no more than ten inches of sediment at the ocean bottom. If beneath the sediment now overlying the supposed site is found soil of a character existing on dry land, it will revive interest in one of the most fascinating‘ leg- ends of the ancient world.

Atlantis is represented in myth- ology as a continent larger than Asia Minor and Libya united. Be- yond it lay an archipelago of lesser Islands. 1t is ﬁrst mentioned by Plato in thc"‘Timacus." Plato de- scribes how certain Egyptian priests, in a conversation with the ﬂreek law-giver Solon, represented the island of Atlantis as having been a powerful kingdom nine thousand years before Soion‘s birth. Its armies, they said, had over-run the lands that bordered the Medi- terranean. Athens alone had with- stood them with success. Finally the sea overwhelmed Atlantis, and had thcnceforth become unnavig- able owing to the shoals which marked the spot. It is impossible,

says the Encyclopedia Britannica, to ‘cleclde how far this legend is due

to Plato's invention, and how far it 1s based on facts of which no re- cord remains. Medieval writers, for whom the talc was preserved by the Arabian geographers, believed it true ,and were fortiﬁed in their be- lief by numerous traditions of isl- onds in the western sea, which (lflered various points of resem- blallcc to Atlantis. As late as the 17th and 18th centuries the credi- bility of the myth was seriously debated, and sometimes admitted, even hy Montaigne, Buﬁon and ﬁoltalre.

OCTOBER. l. 1931

Plato founded his “ideal common- wealth" on the island of Atlantis, and subsequent poets have enlarged upon the theme. Mr. John Mase- fleid, the present poet laureate of England,_ has invested the legend of the lost island with a deeply philosophic meaning. His verses, which form part of his poem "Frag- ments", are reprinted in today's “Poet's Comer." Whatever the scientists may discover in proof or disproof of the existence of Atlan- tis, the poets have already claimed it as their own, and it will survive in the memory of the human race, a magniﬁcent dream that has ﬁred men's hearts.

"To build. to do, to sing or say A beauty Death can never take."

THE GREAT PROBLEM

"It now appears obvious," says a writer in the Monetary Times, "that the greatest difficulty to Inge in getting this country back to a sane and healthy basis will be to reduce the cost of all forms of government, and to offset the disastrous effects of government interference in the business of the nation. During the

boom-age, the government practic- ally took control of the railways by deciding the ratu of pay which the employees should receive, while at the same time retaining the control of the rate-making machine. In the ﬁnal analysis this really means that the rates of our railway employees are decided by themselves from a headquarters ln the United States. The general result of this policy has been that the cost of operating our railways-the most important single item in our national life— has shown a. steady increase with no commerlsuratedncrease in the business handled. . . .

‘It was during this age of rising rx-ices that, a panacea for all our industrial ills was found in “the I0!‘- mation of conciliation and arbitra- tion boards to settle industrial dis- putes. ‘The falacy of this scheme has been QXPOSOd in every country which has attempted it. l-lere in Canada its absolute failure was seen a few years ago when a. small body of workers applied for a. board to consider a 15 per cent. increase in pay. After hearing all the evi- dence, a majority of the board dc. cided that no increase was justiﬁed. To this ﬁnding the men replied that they would go out on strike immed- iately if all their demands were not granted. The Prime Minister threw up his hands, called in the presi- dents of both railways, told them that a strike at that time would set the country back ten years; told them to grant the demands of the workers, and promised to pass it on to the general public in the form of higher freight rates. Surely it is not surprising that the effect of such a policy is yust what it ls-we now have a huge labor combine in practical control of our railways, with rates of pay based on wheat at $2.00 per bushel, newsprint at $120.00 per ton, while those com- modities are actually ‘selling at only a fraction of the value flamed."

EDITORIAL NOTES

l Prime Minister Ramsay Macdcn- - 51d who will be s5 years old next

month, was in active politics from

an early age. He ran in South-

ampton in 1895. w?! U! exchange-

There were live candidates in the

ﬁeld. The last man scored 867 votes.

He was none other than Jame-S

MacDonald, now known as Prime

Minister Runway MacDonald. That

was 36 Years n30. Little did the

people of Southampton think they

were rejecting the future Premier

of Great Britain. Had anyone ven-

tured the prophecy, he would have

been given a. hearty‘ laugh.

Not bearing directly on the pres- ent economic and ﬁnancial situa- tion, it is nevertheless a curiolls fact that the British Empire pro- duces seventy-three per cent. of the worlds gold supply and that seven- ty-ﬂvc per cent. of the gold reserv- es are held by the United States and France.

In Canada we are improving in our manners, but not lessening in our greed- We are less exacting in our attention to minor regulations and. probably because of this slack- ness and its example, thuggery, thieving and fraudulenec are more rampant among us. If any moral may be or should be drawn from these ﬁgures, perhaps it is that the slackening of the reins of moral pincipies in guiding our lives gives the wrong sense of liberty.

It seems to us, says Catholic Action Quebec, that the economic crisis through which the country is pas- sing at the present time, in com- mon with other countries the world over, ought not to have for a result a. crushing effect upon the people but rather should bring them to a proper degree of ﬁrmness, make them more virlle irf fact, and in- spise them to greater effort and activity. It is to be hoped that, through Providence, after the per- iod" of depression has passed, it will have acomplished more good than evil, from a moral point ofview, at all events. This will be possible, if we all have the will and the de- termination that the effects of our trial of character shall be good."

It would be fatal for a nation to be divided against itself either in war or economic stress, and it can be fatal to prosperity for all ele- ments to pull against each other in a time of peace and plenty. Coop- eration and mutual understanding are a. preventive as well as a cure.

Cooperation, sympathy and und- erstanding will help restore the world to the economic, political and social normal, but why abandon

Canada's commerce, says the New York Sun, is as varied as that which» was borne in the ships of Tarshisll; the “gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks" that came to Solomon are matched by some of the units of trade reported in the latest weekly supplement to agricultural and industrial progress in Canada. British Columbia sent forty pairs of foxes to Pasadena and eighteen goats to Nova Scotia; More than 3,000 persons who have been visitors to Lake Louise receiv- ed a gift of seeds of the Iceland poppy. More than 5,500 cases of eggs and 5,500 boxes of butter left New Westminster recently, outward bound for Great Britain. The Ca- nadian minister of agriculture just announced that arrangements had been completed to ship 10,000 head of cattle to ﬁance within the next ten mouths. The biggest and best crop of grapes in its history is rip- ening on the Niagara peninsula. Canada has no lack of variety to offer o. world intent on trade.

Roger Babson, the noted Ameri- can economist, agrees with Pier- pont Morgan that Great Britain's suspension of the gold standard is a wise and progressive move. ‘It is a. step forward," he has said, “and will speed rclnovzll of the world dc- Drcssion. Should the United States and France continue to hoard gold, the rest of the world is not going to be hung up."

Like many other powerful agen- cies and institutes. the British Association owes it! Orlsln 14> forces at work long before any such organization was contemplat- ed, and to seek its germinal prompb, ings we must hark bzck tothe rc- mote labors of old Roger Bacon and his group of poor friars who worked in the slum cells of Oxford in the thirteenth century and, as scientific students, were dubbed sorcerers, being four centuries ahead of their time. But in the year 1660 was formed the Royal Society of Great Britain, and under the presidency of Sir William Petty in 1693, the Dublin Trinity College scientliic organization czme into being. Nearly a. century later, the Roal Physical Society of Edinburgh was instituted, receiving its charter in 1788, the year in which the Lin- neus Society for Promotion of Botany and Zoology also began its career. And ten years afterwards, Sir Joseph Bwnks and Count Rum- ford with some others, founded the Royal Institution "for the diffusion of knowledge concerning mechani- cal improvements and to teach the application of science to the useful purposes of life." Out of these various movements emerged the "F211 Association, which owed its ('.'i."'7li""»l1'i‘.(!h0 chieﬂy to the efforts of the ‘semarkable student of optics, Sir David Brewster. Strange to say David Brewster owed the better part of his own education to his intimacy with "a. self-taught philosopher, astronomer and mathematician," John Veitch of Inchbonny. whose interest in the making of telescopes induced Brewster to those studies and in- ventions which resulted in the kaleidoscope, the lentlcuiar stereo- scope, improvements to the micro- scope, and lighthouse lanterns which "lit the shores of the British Empire," all tributes to his genius. As editor of the Edinburgh Journal of Science, David Brewster was brought into frequent communi-

is of great help in ridding the bowel of wastes and products from infect- ed teeth, tonsils and gall bladder, which often. lie there for a long time after the teeth, tonsils and gall bladder have been renloved.

Why did the use of the enema go out of use to a considerable extent?

Because it was found, that its overuse took away some of the nut- ural strength of the muscles of the largo intestine and these muscles became flaccl dancl lost their lone.

However if enemas are not used too often they can be of real help in ridding the individual of wastes which even if not as poisonous as was formerly thought. nevertheless by pressure or nerve endings of the intestine give rise to depression and lack of energy.

The best method of usillg an in- jection is putting about a table- spoon of salt to two quarts of warm water. As you know this is the solu- tion that is used to replace blood when more fluid is needed la the blood vessels.

Dr. \Vaiter Alvarez tells us that an enema is a logical ielncdy for con- stipation because it cleans, put the last two or three feet of the large intestine (colon) where all the stag- nation takes place, and it does not upset the twenty-two feet of small bowel, where stagnation practically never takes place.

Now there are times when purga- tives, caiomel, epsom salts, caster oil may be needed. Many individuals ﬁnd the daily use of simple paraffin oil all that is necess ry to keep the intestine actively healthy.

A little fruit daily, and bending exercises give satisfactory results to a great many people.

These meetings have been held annually ever since that date. It is interesting to note that about mid-way in its career. th‘t ls to say, forty-seven years ago, the British Association Assembly was held in Montreal, this being, we believe. the first time this fanlous organization ever held its sessions outside thg British Isles. On the 27th of August, 1884, the sessions began in this city. Lord Raylwglr.‘ of Cambrldze University, presided.‘ Lord Lamdowne, then Governor- General of Canada.

"Canadian" is evidently trying to convey the impression to your readers that "Islander" is a cl“- izen of the United States.

He has also asked for concrete evidence that the black ducks which frequent this Province migratg as far south as Florida. in our winter season.

For the beneﬁt; o.’ your readers I may state that both the Biological Survey, Washington and our own Game Department, Ottawa, have developed a splendid system of banding migratory game birds and it will be necessary for me towrite for information on migrations as for south as Florida.

I can, however, furnish proof that our black ducks do migrate as far south as Massachusetts in our winter season, for on October 29th, i929, the writer shot a black duck at a lake in Queens County that had been banded by an Am- erican sportsman in conjunction with the Biolcgictl Survey, Wash- ington at Cuttyhunk, Mass, in March of thg same year, which, I assume, is conclusive proof that this duck spent at least part of the winter in the States, apparently came north to hutch and was on his, or her way back to the States; ‘when a charge of number sixesl wrote "Finis" to its career. “_ Possibly Canadian is now wand-i ering why the United States gun-| ner didn't wring its neck when hcl did have the duck in his hands ln-I stead o.’ letting it come north to make a tasty dinner for a family of "Spud Islanders."
