would not suggest that we attempt to educate the manufacturer of booze into giving up the business and seeing that no one else takes up the 10b. Surely the Prohibition- ists have arrived at the’ place to which the Moderationists plead

-And despite the possibility of the favourite jibe of the “wets" agaitvfl "wet" prohibitionists, the vast m»..- Jority of prohibltionists are DRY. The drunlcard is simply a Modera- tionist run to excess-not to say to seed. Therefore the scope of educa- tron is wholly within the field and faith of the Moderationlst. What do they want to know more than ~t>hey do’! Anything more about the damnable effects of alcoholic bever- ages on the individual and social and- spiritual life? Anything more about the impossibilities of alcohol- ic beverages in a rapid moving: complex life such as we are living today? Pray, what is it we are tr- educate them in?

After all is it not the fact that all we need in this fight is that each should unselflshly accept the truth such knowledge as we have has brought to us concerning the evils of liquor drinking, and then stand for the law that conserves that truth. But no, we are told than Moderationist and all his ilk would have us take the way of education. For they want nothing so much as ‘delay 1n action that will take from

them their booze.

And while we are educating a

‘generation the Moderationist (act- ‘ing in the interests of the liquor traffic) would have us sell all the liquor we can through government sale, thus destroying the effects or the education. So education would always be necessary, and we should never get beyond the "reason- able" (7) position oi government sale-the Utopian state for the Mozierntlonist, the bootlcgger ant. ‘the liquor traffic.

But let us give Pro Moderatione credit for having had some educa. tron in the matter. For he says ht beiieves—to quote him-"Most Mod. erationists believe that though tem- Defence is a virtue, voluntary, self- imposed total abstinence is a higher virtue than mere temperance. While Moderationists condemn prohibition they recommend sobriety and even total abstinence." Is that what they "Breach"? Is that what they prac- tice?

Threw Babes Out In 18th Century

MANCHESTER, Feb. 25~(C.P.)-— The History of the Fouhdling Hos- pital. by R. H. Nichols and F. A. Wruy i5 reviewed in the English press:

“The Greeks exposed the infants they did not want to keep (mostly girls). to die in pots by the road- side. In London during the orgy or‘ gin-drinking in the first half of the 18th century some people threw theirs on to dunghiLls.

"The sight of these outcast babies moved Thomas Coram, retired sea captain and shipwright, to his great campaign of mercy, resulting in the foundation in 1739 of that famous institution the Foundling Hospital whose detailed early his- tory from minutes and official records is given in this well-docu- mented volume.

"The important irlp given in early years by Handel and Hogarth and other musicians and artists is well described and excellently illustrated. but the most interesting chapters are those dealing with the disastrous years when, instead of taking in as many children ns they had room for, the governors agreed, in ‘return for a Parliamen- tary grant, to rccefvle any child that was presented.

“They did not expect more in-

. time:

{ants than the full number of those usually exposed in streets and at people's doors, or deserted in parish workhouses, but they found the hospital besieged. A trade grew up in bringing infants. from coimtry districts at so much a head, nnd parish authorities seized the chance of ridding themselves of possible burdens on the rates. Dying child- ren were often dumped at the gates to save the cost of burial. Indis- crlminate admission lasted from i756 to i760, when Parliament stopped grants. except payments for such children already admitted as survived. Out of 14.934 ‘Parlia- mentary children’ zeceived during

those four years, 10,204 died.

“The book is a history of the in- stitution and not of the inmates, but the reader often wishes there could have been more about the conditions and fate of the children. The treatment in the hospital seems 1o have been humane and, for tin,- lime, irygicnically enlighten- ed, but there are harrowing glimpses, such as that of the cara- vanful of four-yeer-olds, taken away from their foster-mothers, on their svrry back to the hosiptal, lying on beds in an inn, where they ‘cried very much after their Mammy's' or of the batch of girls of seven apprenticed to a woollen manufacturer. of whom 22 out of '14 died in the year and the rest were reported to be in a ‘perilous condition.’

"Comm, the book tells us, in old age quarrellcd with the governors and ceased to take part in the management of the hospital, but he tvas often seen sitting under the arcade, ‘regaling small foundlings with gingerbread.’ and would thus ‘comfort himself with asight of the children.’ When the hospital moved into the country in 1920 a gallant band of modern Corams set them- selves to save the Foundllng site as a piaygrund for London children. They have succeeded and it is pleasmrt to picture the old man now comforting himself with the sight of the children not only in the new hospital at Berkhsmstead but in his old haunts in‘ Blooms- bury."

Physicists Study Hypothetical Ether

NEW YORK, Feb. 26—(A.P.)— The possibility of real existence oi’ the hypothetical “other? an in- visible medium filling all space, was revived today by some new mathe- matical calculations present ‘ ‘ to the American Physical Society.

W. B. Cartmcll of the University of Montreal showed computations that the formula by which exist- ence of "ether" ha‘; been ruled out may be in error.

His caluclations go back to the great experiment begun in 1884 by Michelson and Morley, whic was taken by Einstein and most other scientists as proving there was no ether. ‘These two measured the "other drift."

The experiment was like measur- ing the water passing a boat. being rowed in the moving current of a river. The water would pass the boat faster when it was rowed up-

stream than downstream, if the rowing was at the same rate. Light, this experiment held.

should act like the water, because it travels as pulsations in ether, and the earth is movelng through the ether. The earth's known motion is about 16 miles n. second.

_ Michelson and Morley set up an interferometer, a cross, at whose centre s. beam of light was split. so that half o: it travelled at right angles to the other 5131f out of ends of the (SW55 bars. These split beams were reflected back. At the point where the reunited they should show "fringes! ‘of color, if there was a difference in their velocity in one direction as oom- pared with the other.

There was a difference. but it was for less than expected. So much less that the experiment was agidiudged as showing no ether exis-

Dr. Beyfon Miller. of the Case School of Applied Science has been sciences doubting thomaa fer .26 years, repeating this experiment to show that the tiny effect obtained was nevertheless reel.

Dr. CartmelPs calculations today ru-eto the effect; that the original experimenters should not have ex- pected the big “effect? which they nevvr got. The should have expec- ted only a tiny one. just about the kind that Dr. Miller- gets.

Challenges of the of the mathematics on which expectations of the big "effect" ‘rested here been mode before end have not stood the test of rigid examination. Other whysicfrts will go over Dr. Cart-

§Zigia of Reich Armies a Investing; Rhine

Brwssnrs. ‘rep. 26-4012». Nightmare memories of 1914, when gray-clad German hordes swept across the frontier the overwhelm Beligium, darken the nation to- day as anxious Belgians are told about camouflaged massing of German troops in the demilitariz- ed Rhlneland.

"The ‘demliitarized’ zone along the Rhine is, in fact. remilitariz-, ed." said an article in the Brus- sels "Soir" written by a retired army commander. "By the end of 1930 Germany will be able to muster- a first-line army totall- ing 2,280,000 fully-trained soldiers “Mobilized during the night, a German motorized division could reach Leige by ‘l a. m. Namur by noon and Brussels and Antwerp by 2 p. m."

These claims rang afresh a tocsin already sounded by Albert Deveze, minister of defence Sketching the- changed condi- tions 0n the eastern frontier since 1928, when the allies occupied the Rhine and the German army was merely an unmotorized relchswehr, Devéze warned that Belgulm to- day stands in grave danger of in- vasion—this time, possibly, across the Dutch border.

Deveze read a secret dossier. dealing with the military situa- tion to the defence committees of both the serrate and the chamber of deputies, and urged the immedi- ate bolstering of Belgium's skele- ton army of only 40,000 soldiers. Although the cabinets power automatically ends March .81. Devese stressed that a postpone- ment of even two months might endanger the country's security. Belgium's only minister to re- main in office through four suc- cessive cabinets, Deveze has turned to both King Leopold and Premier Van Zeeland for support to pre- pare for the evcntualit of fGer- many's attempting mHitar-y re- occupatlorr of the Rhine Zone. The article, in the newspaper "Soir" claimed, among other things: i-Germany possesfcs on the left bank of the Rhine two divisions (30,000 men) of Landes Polizei (national police) with full military equipment except artillery . z-The missing artillery. how- ever, is posted on the right bank of the Rhine. Four of the 32 new Gennsn artillery divisions actually are residing in the demilitarimd zone.

3-- Numerous send-military for- motions are established on the left bank of the Rine. One of them. the labor service, has camps close to the Belgian border.

i-Identified formations include two groups of naizi brown shirts, comprising five or six brigades, making a total of 150,000 ' men. Seven regiments of S 8., or senior nazi guards, make another 20,000. A motorized corps of six regiments adds an additional 40,000. ii-Germany has 250,000 fully equipped troops on the left bank of the Rhine. , Viewing these figures, clalrneres authcrtic by m: "Bolt." look at their own tiny army of 40,000 men and wonder how they dould stem another such invasion as swept over them 23 years ego.

Mr. and Mrs. Robertson and two. child- ren were in Sunday School when it started, and when Mn, Robertson came home and found that the fire was between the floors, in the wall and finally in the attic, it was be- yond control. The oldest boy was home at the time, and endeavouring to put it out with water. Help soou arrived and the contents were sev- cd, as the day was cairn and the fire burned slowly. The loss is pirtLv covered by insurance. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson wish to thank, firstly, the telephone operator, who responded to the call after hours and called for help; Secondly, all friends and neighbour's, who worked so hard to save all they could.
