FIRST EMPIRE’ FLIGHT

Twenty-five years ago this month, to be exact on Dec. 13, 1907. an item

[appeared in the press to the effect

that Dr. Alex Graham Bell's flying machine rose to a considerable 11¢ Eht after being taken from the workshop at Baddeck. ‘The machine, which had not then a motor install» ed but Was used as a. glider, was in Chars! of the late Lieut. Seliridge, U. B, A., for whom Sclfrldge Field, Mount Clements, Mich.. is named. Previous to this, F. W. "Cnscy” Baldwin, a grandson of Hon. Robt. Baldwin, Premier 0i Canada. before Confederation. made what is claim- ed to be one of the first public flights of an aeroplane in North America, when he flew n, machine powered with a gasoline motor at Brldcicck, which was the joint effort of himself as chief engineer, with D1‘. Alex Graham Bell, J. A. D. Mc- Curdy, Glenn R. Curtlss and others who vrsanlzed an effort at Baddcck for the purpose of producing a suc- cessful flying machine. On this flight. March l2, 1907, it is stated the plane which was named the “Red Bird" raced 130 feet then took off and at a general altitude of from ten to twenty feet flew for a distance of 810 feet and eiighted without mishap. In the next flight, he crashed the "Red Bird." Mir. Baldwin designed s. machine, the "White Wing" which made s. world's record flight of 839 yards in 1906. Bnddeck figures prominently in the early history of aviation and the late Dr. Alexander Graham Bell is buried at the top Of the hill overlooking the town and beautiful Bras d'Or Lake, a simple boulder marking h's resting place.

CANA DIAN FERTILIZER

Canada, notes a leaflet issued by the Federal Department oi Agricul- ture, is now self-supporting in essential fertilizer items. Nitrogen of Canadian manufacture is to be had in abundance in the form of sul- phate of ammonia, new processed cynnnmld containing nitratl. monium phosphate and the organic fertilizers such as tenkage, dried blood and fish meal. Really the only itcm of importance for the manu- facture of mixed fertilizer 0r single appllciltlOn not, produced in this country is potash.

Supci-phosphute is made on a large scale at New Westminster, B. 0-, Traill, B. 0., Hamilton. Ontario and Beloeil.

During that season of the year when peace on earth good will to men is manifested by the desputch and recent of Christmas and New Years cards (the lattel‘ being | later invention than the former, since they come m hnndy to send to everybody not on your list who _ sent you a Christmas greeting) om i of the most aggravating woes is the l failure to put an address on the card.

Two nr three things stand out in any discussion of the Russian st- untfon.

‘but in the

citement of tile lastl meeting we forgot to get his ad-l dress. We last saw Henry almost impaled on an iron grill. Two of his friends were trying m lift/him of! without tearing his elothes and Henry, we are sorry to say. was singing "Daisies Won't Tell.” A taxi- cab whirled us out 0t‘ Henry's life.

Since then, each Christmas, a card has arrived from Henry. It car- ries beet wishes for the season and at the lower left hand corner the information is conveyed that Henry ls living in New York city. Letters lo that address have been returned by the United States mails with a suggestion that there are many Henry Fords in New York, to say ‘nothing of Detroit-where there ls another. and that they are unable to make delivery of our frenzied appeals for more news. What is Henry doing? He Is apparently out of jail; but what is he doing Has he become a chemist in earnest? Does he still sing "Daisies Wont Tell?" Has he married, and if s0. why? All these and many more questions we fain would know. But Henry will not tell me on his Christmas card, nor will he give me his address. Henry is as good as dead to us. and Ln the silent watch- es of the evening, we mourn the loss. for he was worth knowing. His baritone voice in the lower reaches of "Daisies Won't Tell" was among the most effective things we have ever known.

surely everyone has had the same experience. Yet, ycar after year, when the choice of Christmas cards comes up for discussion, no one appears to think oi the simple convenience of adding sh adequate postal address. No one? There are exceptions of’ course. The people whom one wishes never w hear of again never fail to add the address, and their cards arrive. year after year, with the same deadly accuracy as an income tax statement. Their address stares at one from the mantle-piece all through the Christ- mas week, and at last, in despera- tion, one writes to them; end they answer the letter, and life becomes clouded by muses of unwanted tasks. _,.

All this. of course. is a minor tn bulation. It is not a. thing to worry about, not even to write a column about. Life is difficult enough with- out piling Pelion on Ossa over Christmas cards. But who can quell that faint. feeling of impotenm when the cards from the few chosen companions roll in, and one known that that will be all for another year? Friends are hard to come by, and are held only by effort, and at this moment we want very much to hear from Henry Ford-not the man who makes motor-cars, but the one who sings "Daisies Won't Tell."

China over Manchuria is not the xe- sult of a. sudden intcmpemte act on the part of one of the disput- ants, says the London Times. No doubt the forward movement of the Japanese Army in September of last year, and its subsequent - tfon of territory more than twice the size of France, have actually pro- duced the present crisis; but. funda- mentally the dlfliculty arises from s rivalry of races which, s; events in western Europe also show, is oi all differences the least easy to com-

profession. A dentist simply pulled

‘ or filled teeth.

“Dentistry in the past has been operating upon a hind-end first plan of waiting for destruction to occur. and then through a process of patch work mechanics milking all the hay possible while the sun shines. This has resulted in an un- healthful uneconomic, and unsocial situation and has put dentistry in the position of being considered by the public as a business rather than a profession."

The above paragraph 1s from Dr. Joseph K. Kauflmann, a dentist of New York City.

Why has dentistry risen to its proper position as a profession?

Because it now teaches the public how to preserve the teeth and thus prevent disease, just as the medical profession by teaching hygiene to school children and adults, has lengthened the human life span by many years.

Your dentist ‘now advises that you see him twice a year. This nlenns that any little decay, any tartar at the gum margin of the teeth, any root infection may be detected and thus you will not only save your teeth. but your health also. No one can bcgin to estimate the damage to the entire workings of the body from infected teeth, from poor chewing surfaces, and from diseased gums. .

This half-yearly or yearly visit to the dentist is thus really health in- surance.

Just as there are research work-

ers in medicine so are there re- search workers in dentistry.

Dental students tn-duy are alive to the great strides being made in their profession, and, these new students, or recruits as Dr. Kanti- man calls them, "will place facts above opinions, truths above fanc- ies, prevention above cure, children above adults, the whole body above only the teeth, and profession above trade."

It is not to be wondered nt there- fore that the dentist is nuw rightly called doctor, because a doctor is really one who teaches. The dentist helps to teach people how to live properly.

Ill-Fed Communists

(Toronto Mall and Empire)

Mr. J. S. Woodsworth, the radi- cal member of Parliament from Winnipeg-scene of the Communist revolution oi 1919-15 travelling around Ontario trying t-o stir up trouble among those who have betn hard hit by a world-wide depre55l0n. For years past Mr. Woodsworth has been a chief apologist for soviet Russia in and out oi’ Parliament, and one wonders who is financing his campaign. No man can travel around the country week after week by rail and motor without having solne means at his disposal. He may be well off in the goods of this world, but if so why does he not distribute his wealth among his fellow Socialists? 0r is he like the Irishman who had two pigs?

The Brandon Sun, published not far from the scene or Mr. Woods- wortlvs home and major activities, strongly condemns the Labor M. P. and present leader of the C. C. F. for making unsupported state- ments regarding the condition of workers in the Riding Mountain Government, Park. There ls an ap- parent lack of accuracy in his al- legations that the unempoyed maintained at, the park were or are ill~fed and badly used. The Bran- don Bun doe, a. further service by quoting m‘. J. A. McLaughlin, a Vancouver engineer of high stand- ing, in criticism of Mr. Woods- wortifs spiritual home. Mr. Mc- McLaughlin," after spending two years on a Government contract in Russia, says that 90 per cent. of the Russian workers would leave for Canada if they were free to do so and had the passage money. "Everywhere 1s evidence of fear. You seldom hear a person laugh. If the Soviet fed its own people properly it could not expmt a bushel of wheat."
