j GLASGOW’S APPEAL

"IThe Ottawa Conference with its Bmpire Trade Agreements has brought the word “Empire" nearer gum ever before to the hearts an-i minds of the British race." This is the keynote of an appeal which the manufacturers of Glas- gow» and the West of Scotland are making in a publication entitled "True Reciprocity," issued by the filasgow Chamber of Commerce and ‘fliai Clyde Navigation 'I'rust, in Ewhich is listed a. truly imposing ‘array of Scottish industries which ire seeking to promote and estab- lish wider reciprocal Empire trade. it‘ is pointed out that during the last few ycars imports of Dominion products to the Clyde have been greatly increased-in some cases more than treblcd. There is room for. a. still wider expansion of im- ports from the Dominions. but it bituggested that this should be accompanied by a development 0f airport trade, as ships bringing present imports often sail out in ballast or with small cargoes.

Q1 ROAD SAFETY CODE

f‘ With traffic along the highways now in full swing, it is t-mely to auggest that care is necessary on thqpart of motorists to avoid mrls- haps’ to themselves and others. Be- low are given the important provi- Iions of an official Highway Code asAsummarized by the Automobile ‘Animation of Great Britain, which are-equally applicable to driving 111 phis Pmvince:

Carefully regulate your speed at all times to suit the circumstances and weather conditions.

highs and warning notices.

i‘ Never overtake unless You M? certain it is safe to do so. (The, ‘brow of a steep hill, or a hump bail-i jod bridge, conceals on-oominl; traffic just as effectively as a sharp bend.)

EDITORIAL NOTES

July Fourthgnot the day it used to be.

Americans previously were reput- edto come to Canada. for a drink-i now it may be for a change of; drink.

“Our national credit was never higher," declares the speech from the Throne. How many countries in the world can make such a justi- fiable boast today.

Parliament having prorogued the different ministers will now have an opportunity of devoting at- tention to executive duties and the personal oversight of their depart- menls.

One of the shows for tour- ists is our caged prisoners at St. Avardkl. Visitors are more than surprised at this modern edition of the stocks in the market place where offenders were held up to public contumely.

The unthinking people who make so much of Communistlc trouble- makers should pause and think of the fate of anti-Socialists in Ger- many and elsewhere. With the sac- rifice of democracy comes unbrid- led savagely, deprivation of free- dom. and worship of the god Brutal Force.

We are to be favoured with s. spe- cial excursion from the Mainland from July l3 to l6. The CNR. are advertising in Mainland papers a specially cheap excursion from ‘ll points in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to all points in P.E.I., good from Friday, 13 to Monday l6. This is an opportunity which Is- landers at home should bring to the notice of their friends on the Mainland.

Notes By The Way

Science's first recorded discovery of gold that has fallen from the airy to the earth was reported by Dean Gillespie of Denver. This unique discovery has been reported to the American Association for the adva- t of Science. A stony meteorite found near Mel- rose. New Mexico, was analyzed. Minute amounts of gold were de- tccted. Just to be sure, this unusual result was checked by an American smelting and Refining company assay. There will. however, be no gold rush to the shooting stars, be- cause the quantities of gold are en- tirely impracticable for commercial recovery.

Much of the eye strain revealed by medical examination of school children is attributed to the habit 0f heading in bed. a medical auth- ority staics. It has been found that reading in bed for longer than half an hour leads to conjunctivitis and in some cases to severe eye-strain, The remedy lies in restricted read- 1118 to half an hour at a time, with the light falling over the left shoul- der. Bathing the eyes afterwards, before settling down to sleep, with a. medicated eye lotion is also sug- gested as a preventive of strain and possible conjunctivitis.

Great Britain's new stand on the seems t0 have awakened Japan to a reap. zation that it is possible to exhaust British patience. Japan u-ill, ac- cordingly. take a more active part in the naval conference. Presum- ably this means she will confer in- stead of issuing demands and refus- 1118 to discuss alternatives. France with “security" and quotas. Ger. many with her moratorium. the United States with her persistent stalling on war debts and exchange stabilization, and Japan with her claim for a larger naval ratio, have compelled Great Britain to modify her lenient attitude and all these countries are beginning to realize they have gone too far.

London Daily Telegraph ((10:15,); This Black Plague is as much an infection from abroad as the Red. Moreover, the virus of the one is almost indistinguishable from that 0f the other. and the resultant dis- ease runs for a time a similar course which is equally fatal to liberty. Nothing is more true than that, Fascism actually begets the Cam- munlsm which it is ostensibly design 0d to overthrow.

A great deal of criticism is hurl- ed at the President of the United States because he keeps experimcntq ing. But the entire world is takq lng note of this courage of his, and ls learning from him. We have liv- ed so fast and have advanced so rapidly the past quarter of a cen- tury that old ideas and methods have begun to creak. like an old wagon. A. railroad train rolled into Chicago the other clay after making the run from Denver in less than 12 hours-or at an average of over 7B miles hour! 1t beat the best record in time by one half. And no.‘ long ago an airplane made the trip’ from coast to coas. in the United States in about the slime time. A great newspaper publisher stated the other day that the great Chi- cago "Century of Progress“ Fair was‘ merely indicative of what the next century is going to be, no‘. merely What the last century has achieved. And all because of experiments! Laws - and even constitutions— should fit the times. So should ideas.

GETTING BID 0F HEAT FROM THE BODY '

It is interesting to see how manu- facturers of children's garments are now supplying a. summer garment for youngsters which allows the up- per part of the body, legs, and arms to be free and exposed to the air and the sun.

An editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association re- minds us that although the legs and arms are considered as supplying only a small part of the surface of the body, as a matter of fact it has been calculated the arms, hands, legs and feet, really take up two- thirds of the body surface.

Now this is important both in hot weather and cold weather also, bo- cause heat must be lost in the hot weather and saved or conserved dur- ing the cold weather.

Further it is known that the arms and legs, sticking out into the air away from the body, are capable of losing more heat for the amount of their surface measurement than the main part of the body or trunk.

The movement of blood toward or away from the surface of the body has been measured by taking the temperature of the skin.

It was observed that an increase in the surrounding temperature caused an increase in the temper- ature of the skin; the least change occurring on the skin of the fore- head and trunk, and the greatest in the hands and feet, especially the toes and the big toe in particular.

It would seem that in order to keep the temperature of the body at the proper point much blood must be moved to and from the extremi- ties-hands and feet. This accounts. in part, for the swelling of the hands and feet in the warm wea- ther and the shrinkage during the cold weather.

The editorial concludes with this warning:

“As body heat must be conserv- ed or maintained in cold weather, and heat lost in warm weather, one may well view with some apprehen- sion or uneasiness the present habits of dress which encourage the leaving off of stockings from the costume. especially among little children whose temperature equilibrium is none too secure at best."

The thought then is that leaving of‘! shoes and stockings in the warm weather is wise as it helps the body lose heat. but leaving off stockings in cold weather, to “harden" the youngster, may be very unwise.

Ghost Ships Of The Arctic

(Winnipeg Free Press)

The thoughls of shipping men at Seattle have turned with their fur flects to the Arctic, and they do not hide the belief that the Hud- son's Bay Company's lost steam- ship, the Baychimo, has become a phantom of the Arctic. Nearly four years ago the ice locked her and forced the crew to leave her, but each year since then she has. re- appeared somewhere either in Be- ring Strait or the Arctic Sea, and been scan again.

Tile Baychimo loomed up as in the wake of her mirage, last sum- mer, to the amazement oi’ the crew of a United States coastguard cut- ter, but the shoals and fioes made approach impossible. She had drifted when seen a few weeks 1a- ter by the skipper of the schooner C. S. Holmes. and than, unmanned. with prow edect. she was carried away by a current that took her again into the pack.

Where the Baychimo is held fo- day, or whether her hull still rises hopefully above water level or rests on ice floor, nobody knows, but her reappearance, as she again sails on a currents usual five-knot way, will not surprise the shipping world.

Other ships have disappeared in the Arctic, but have any of them, or many of them, escaped being broken up? Strange tales have been told of ghostly vessels locked fa: within the Polar Sea, but the tales gained faint credence, Yet the Baychimo sailed: once more after she had been thought. w be sunk.

Eskimos carried by the ice pack far north into unchartered wastes have come back to find their sto- rlcs of silent ships unbelieved.

Of this sum, the navy will receive more than half, notwithstanding the army's preoc- cupation in Manchuria. Japan's army, navy and air force will sc- count for approximately M per cent of hcr total expenditure. This is an increase of nearly 20 per cent. over 1933-34. It is something like 30 per cent more than Great Britain de- votes to naval and military purpos- r-s, 2‘! per cent. more than the United States, 22 per cent. more than Franco. and 20 per cent. more than Ilnly. It is actually 3 per cent morn than Gcrmany alccated the year before the outbreak of thc Great War.

New Kipling Verse

(Exchange)

England's parliamentary history from the Magns Carts to modern times was the theme of a. great pageant staged at the Albert Hall in London. ‘rile outstanding scenes were the struggles of the barons a- gainst King John, the first Parlia- ment under Edward I, Elizabeth's quarrel with the Commons, the Gun- powder Plot and CromwelPs seizure of power.

‘rwo poems written by Rudyard Kipling for the production were featured. One, sung atthe con- clusion by the entire cast of 200. was:

Non nobis, Domlnel

Not unto us, 0 Lord

The Praise and B101‘! be

Of any deed or word,

For in Thy judgment lies

To crown or bring to nought All knowledge and device

That man has reached or wrought, And we confess our blame, How all to high we hold

'I'i1st noise which men call fame That dross which men call gold. For these we undergo

Our hot and godless days,

But in our souls we know,

Not unto us the praise,

0 Power by whom we live, Creator. judge and friend, Upholdlngly forgive

Nor leave us at the end,

But grant us yet to see

In all our piteous ways,

Non nobis, Domine.

Not unto us the praise.

The other poem was spoken by a. poet in the Elizabeth section of the pageant, celebrating the de- feat of the Spanish Armada:
