This week has been proclaimed by the Nova Scotia government as High. ‘"3’ 55101.1’ Week. a period during which the attention of the public, and more particularly‘ the motoring public, is specially directed to the question of greater safety on the roads. 'I‘l1e idea is well worth adopt- mg in every Province. for there are none that are free from traffic ac- cidents which might been avoided by the exercise of greater caution and judgment. both in United States and Canada are emphasizing the increasing dang-l ers of modem hiirllwav traffic.

The King Government announced in the Speech from the Throne that a measure would be presented to Par- liament providing a recast of the

financial structure of the Canadian

National Railways. When speaking on

had been in process of preparation for three years and submission to the House. has had to be abandoned for another year. This however is a mere subterfuge.

If the ‘outgoing Minister of Railways

Mr. Dunning. and the new arrival ill

the Department. Mr. Crcrar, could

not between them present a bill to the l-lousc which had been prepared for them by Sir Henry Tllomton and his subordinates, there is a lot of good money being wasted at Ottawa ‘n thé payment of salaries to incom- petent administrators. But the truth is that the C. N.

According to the Christian Cen- tury. the United States has more drug addicts per capita than any country in the world. not forgetting India. whose tipium consumption as detailed in i\-frs. Mayos "Mother India" so greatly shocked the sensi- bilities of American social reformers. The per caplta consumption of opium derivatives per annum in theUnited States is thirty-six grains: in India it is twenty-sevcrl grains; in France. four; in England, three; in Germany, ‘two; in China. two; in Italy. one.

One of the significant powers resi- dent in the governors of some of the states of the Union is to remove from office the chief of police of any city within that state.

When Dempsey, Tuney. Sharkey, or other boxer is getting ready for a bout he starts training in an easy fashion at first. a little jogging or slow runn- lllg on the road. a little skipping or shadow boxing in the gymnasium, and two or three rounds of boxing.

Of beauty. courage, youth. Of all but Truth.

Life's city ways are dark.

Men mutter by: the wells

Of the great waters moan.

The waters moan like bells.
