PROMPT ACTION

The announcement elsewhere in dais issue of the change agreed to in the car ferry accounting system, making the service a charge upon the consolidated revenue fund of the Dominion. will be received with appreciation by our Boards of Trade and all sections oi the com- munity. The change is one which has been urged on the railway authorities for several years pest, Gd was recommended in the re- port of the Duncan Commission in 1926. Difficulty was experienced, however, in convincing the railway officials that the change was desir- able. A few days ago the Provincial Government was requested by the Charlottetown Board oi Trade to take the matter up with the Ben- nett Government, and the result- ing interview with Hon. Dr. Man- ion, Minister oi Railways, has ev- idently been completely satisfac- tory. Congratulations are due to mm. Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan, Act- ing Premier, Hon. John A. Mac- Donald, M. 9., and Messrs. W. @0601‘ B. McLure, M. P., and J. H. Myers, M.

‘mo observance of Mothers‘ my has been traced back to ancient "mes The early Christians visited the church in which they were bnrtlwl. taking Kllts to and altar on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Any- one observing this custom was said to be “going a-mothering" and the day became known es “Mothering mnday."

In 1900 1n Philadelphia the first American mother's day was observ- l-‘d on May 10, Miss Anna. Jarvis being the originator of the idea. The United States Congress set the second Sunday in May in be Mother's Day, in keeping with the lmglish custom, and today the an- niversary is thus observed through- out the North American continent.

THE JOY OF GARDENS

This is an oppomie time to call attention to the valuable asset, sou: to the individual and the com.- nnmity, of well kept lawns and gar- dqms. One home made attractive with flowers will make all the neighbors want in go and do like- wise. and one well kept lawn will org-ate a desire for a whole street of velvety lawns. Little imagination is dialled to prove the effect on a odmuunity where there are a few fifiwer enthusiasts. A place adorn- ed with lawns, shrubs ‘and flowers soils more readily and for a. better price than one where no thought oi: attention has been given w th’ bare unattractive grounds.

THE ART 0F SKIPPING

With the inauguration this sum-

llbrary which is intended to reach all sections of the Province, the question of reading u an art may iittingiy form a subject for

course, many angles from which this subject may be viewed. Of chief importance to serious students is the emphesil which must always be placed on careful and thorough reading. But this is not all. Strange as it may seem, much of the art of reading consists in knowing intuit- ively what not to reed. Modern libraries are so voluminous that one

Be prescribed five hours a day reading for s young man, but never failed to insist that books were no substitute for life. His own hardest reading was done before he had passed the age oi eighteen. This laid the foundation m: the astonishing ability by which in lat/er years he was able, as his biographer notes, to "seize at once what was valuable in a book, with- out submitting to the labour oi per- using it from beginning to end." He was, in short, an adept in the art oi "skipping" judiciously, and by this means worked voraciously and intelligently through whole lib- rarics.

A strong champion of what we might call the Johnsonian method of boring one's way through Hiera- ture was Robert Louis Stevenson, In writing as in reading Stevenson maintained that the whole art lay in knowing what to omit. "A man who knew how to omit," he says. "would make an Iliad of a daily paper"; and he concludes that the technique of omission. is partial -but of course judicious-blindness.

From this premise, says l-iolbrook Jackson in that delightful volume “The Anatomy of Bibliomanis," it would follow that selection alter the book is chosen, as well as before, is essential. He quotes Richardson as saying: “the book that is wise in spots should be read in spots," and that to argue that "every book worth reading is worth handing straight

An article in the May Review of Reviews argues that the rise of Hitler to power and the triumph of the National Socialists in Germany have brought Europe to “the most dangerous state since the armis- Llce;" that the European Contin- cnt has again become a tinder box.

Demands have arisen in various parts of the country that the Do- minion Government budget should bo balanced by c. further reduction of controllable expendturc. Mr. Rhodes, Minister of Finance, has explained several times that the controllable expenditure has already been reduced by $81,000,000. and that if every cent of it were cut ofl, that is if the civil service were closed up, ii nrcunbers of Parliament, judges, lighthousekeepers, and oth- ers, were left unpaid, if police and penitentiary staffs were dismissed, etc. etc. there would still be c. dcilc- it this year of 02611001100.

National Socialists of Austria de- clare that they do not need the help of their colleagues in Ger- many.

Rom time to time Physicians have noticed that an apparently healthy individual may have albu- min in the urine at one examination and be free at another, so that it is agreed now that albumin may be in the urine and yet no organic condi- tion exist.

What is the cause of albumin in the urine in the healthy individual? Drs. Heber c. Jamieson and John W. Scott, Edmonton, Alberta, state that while certain types of diets and emotional disturbances may be causes, one outstanding cause is the shape of the individual and the kind oi exercise taken.

Many persons with albumin in the urine have sway back (lordosis) and when the back gets straightened out by leaning or kneeling forward, there is no albumin in the urine, whereas if they kneel, leaning back- ward, albumin again appears in the urine. ' Drs. Jamieson and Scott describe the test used.

. Hill 60

(Ottawa Journal)

Easter Sunday marked the eigh- teenth anniversary of the first bat- tle of Hill 60, and recalls that in- significant hlllock, whose possession was so desperately disputed in 1915. Formed of the csrth thrown up dur- ing thc excavation of a railway cut- ting and only a hundred yards in total length, this accidental ound by reason of its suitability for ob- scrvation, was once the focus of European attention. After three great craters had been blown by en- gineers the hill was stormed success- fully, but a subsequent concentration cf no fewer than forty-seven Ger- man batteries practically blew the holders from their place. A survivor of the battle tells me that he saw in one of the craters on that day s. small party of two Germans and one British soldier, all three of whom had lost limbs in the bombs ‘ ‘. The British Tommy, adds my eye- witness, was passing round cigar- ettes.
