A MARITIIVIE NEED

In an excellent article onihe im- migration claims of the Maritime Provinces, the Saint John Telegraph- Journal says in part: | “In the early days, when the West came into Confederation and the railways were built and the people brought in, the Maritime Provinces loomed large in population and wealth, and contributed largely to the cost of the building up of the western territories. In more recent years, the growth of population west of the Lakes, and the great increase in wealth and population in Ontario end Quebec, have made the relative proportion that the Maritimes have contributed to this immigration, pio- neering, railroading and developing scheme somewhat smaller. but, nev- c-rtheiess, it has run into substantial sums of money. "It is now time that the Maritimes made a demand that this condition oi things be reversed-that money be spent to bring immigrants into the Maritime Provinces. The hack- neyed excusethat there is no free land in these Provinces can no long- er be offered as a reason for inac- tivity. indifference and hostility to- wards Maritime ambitions in this line that has been evidenced by both political parties at Ottawa during the last forty years.

"When the western development was udertuken, there was no hesita- tion about the whole wealth of Can- ada being placed behind the con- struction of the C. P. R. There was no hesitation in after years in financ- ing, out of the national pot, the con- struction oi another pioneer road, the G. T. P. There was no hesitation at Ottawa about guaranteeing the bonds of a still further and, up to that time, private development, un- der the name of the Canadian North- em. Nor was there any hesitation in pledging the credit of the Domin-

Notes B__v__ The Way

The Cblguccio Canal must be kept to the front by the press, the public men, the Boards of Trade of the Maritime Provinces, and it will be if our people are alive totheir vital in- tereais in transportation, their Just rights and the urgency of the present situation. There has been since the Dominion was formed an expenditure of untold millions by our Federal Government-s upon Canadian canals, and these waterways. unlike the rail- ways, are free of toils to all who use them, whether they be Canadians or foreigners. ' Canadian canals are operated at a loss and an ever-increasing expendi- ture on capital account to widen, deepen and build extensions of them. And Just now a new and colossal ex- penditure is impending to make a greatly enlarged waterway from Lake Ontario to the sea. impending and approaching. It will inevitably be constructed in the near future, either as an all-Canadian or an international work.

The Maritimes have almost no cun- als, but they have put their shoulders under the heavy burden of paying equally with other sections of Cari- ada for a vast canal system from which they get no benefit and no con- sideration. lair-play demands that these" unequal and unjust conditions shall be readjusted and as far as pos- sible equalised by the construction of the Chignecto Canal.

The construction of this important and greatly needed addition to our system of water transportation would cost a few million dollars, perhaps four or five millions-a mere drop in the bucket of Canada's canalvoutlay. Be it also remembered that a canal through the isthmus of Chignecto was projected long before the Marl- times joined the Dominion, and its early construction by the cannula“ Government was promised us as in- ducemem. to enter the Union.

Good faith between Canada and the Eastern Provinces demands the fulfilment of that promise of 65 years 8E0. There are other considerations that Dlead for the Maritime Canal. Its construction would greatly bene- fit each of the three Mariime Prov- inces in their trade intercourse with each other and would equally bene- fit all waterborne traffic between the St. Lawrence and ports on the At- lantic coast of the United States, the West Indies and South America. It would shorten the distance of wa- ter carriage on the Atlantic coast by hundreds of miles.

The need of the hour is line upon "I19 9-1111 Precept upon precept to so awaken our own people and the rul. ers and people of Canada to the 1m- portance of this great work that the St. Lawrence Waterway shall not be undertaken until the Chlgnecto can- al is coupled with it as a. prime re- quisite of the Dominion canal sy. stem.

Prince Edward Island since it be- came united with Canada long en- ioyed the distinction of being the most sober of all the Provinces and also the most free from crime in pro- portion to the number of its popula- tion. It is not quite satisfactory to rilzht thinking people that since our Drohibiiory law was enacted and un- der prohibition the number of our people has diminished by more than 20.000,‘ while there are more of them now in the Dorchester Penitentiary than there were 27 years ago, and also more in our county jails. ,

A plebiscite on pl hlbiuon is prom- ised by the Saunders Government to be taken this year. It will cost some money, and the provincial treasury is not overflowing after all that the Government has borrowed. More “X63 must be laid on in the near futurc- and year by year there are fewer people to pay them. And in its brief career the government has contrived to waste more of the pub- 11¢ money than any Previous admin- istration in a like period of time.

The alarming increase of mortality from the "flu" in England after it had considerably diminished in Am- erica is remarkable. It is also the subject of comment that while hith- erto this epidemic had come west. ward to America from across the At- lantic, this year its desolating course has been eastward from America to Europe. .

EXTRA LUNG SURFACE WHEN NEEDED

A man boasting about his motor car will tell you that it has a won- derful pick-up, and will go from five to fifty miles in a few seconds. This is no doubt a wonderful point about motor cars, and yet did you ever think about that body of yours, and how quickly it can be going its fastest and hardest work?

You step on the gas of a car and if you step too hard you get no par- ticular response, because you have to work it up to its full speed gradual- ly.

However someone just pushes a. pin into you, or you see something that frightens you. and you reach your maximum speed immediately. You can get your speed up in about the fraction of a second.

You and I never pause to think about the fact that we can change from a lying down position to the actual speed of a one hundred yard dash in practically "no time."

You can thus see how much more perfect that body of yours is than any machine made by man.

And yet despite the difference be-

tween lying down and running at full speed, there is practically no heating up of that body of yours. In fact, the most vigorous exercise you make take will not send your temperature up more than one de- gree. Work cannot heat up your body,to a dangerous point. And yet when you do a tremendous amount of woork, you manufacture a. great amount of carbon dioxide. This must be removed froin the blood and thence out of the body by way of the lungs. To supply oxygen to make up for the loss of oxygen thus thrown out, the lungs must pump a great amount of oxygen into the body. And the heart must of course pump extra blood to lungs to get rid of the wastes manufactured. It must then pump this new pure blood to all parts of the body to take the place of the used up materials that were thrown out as wastes. Dr. E. D. Churchill of Bosotn tells us that in addition to the breathing being faster and deeper, there seems to be parts of the lung that are in a. sort of resting condition, but immediately the need arises these spaces, or parts that are resting. spring into action and thus give more lung "surface" which gives out carbon dioxide and takes in oxygen.

This i8 Just one more example of how Nature keeps always ahead of our needs.

THE POET'S CORNER

In Old Stamboul

(r. Yeats-Brown u. m mum oucm)

We were in the Dormitory of the White Eunuchs. Two centuries have‘ passed since the slaves of the Sultan ordered the affairs of the harem from these blue-tiled rooms. Yet at the gate of the Seraglio three sexless attendants may still be seen-surviv- ors 0f the last of the house of Oth- man-who were moved here as care- takers when the Sultan was exiled from Yildiz Kiosk. They were point- ed out to me by a Tlukish lady jour- nalist of twenty-three, my charming guide for the afternoon. '

One of these eunuchs was o. plump little dwarf. "He hates women." my friend told me, "and when I used to come here, often he used to turn his back on me and scream."

The old Turkey and the new ". . . Handcuffs are hanging on the wall of the Dormitory, also a large stick with a thong in it, into which the feet of those about to be bastinadoed were twisted. I know, for I have seen the things in use. The dwarf knows too. But my friend, who speaks seven languages, writes for the XIEWSPBPSAB. and is dressed a la Parisienne, does not know. The sight of her, which rejoices my eyes, makes the dwarf scream, while a. man being bastin- adoed, which makes me feel sick. probably beats cockfighting for the dwarf. So the world goes strangely, especially in Turkey today. - ,

You must visit um the Old Sarag- lio, if you would know something about modern Turkey. The Seragllo, is now a. museum, but the most hu- man and interesting one I know. Take the glories of Byzantium for granted if you like (as Mohammad the Conqueror did). you must know something of the clever and ferocious p. ‘ecessors of the present Ghazi. The beautiful old Council Hall, for instance, where the vizier-s sat. is a sermon in stone. Above his vizlers. unseen behind a. marble trellis, the Sultan listened to their debate. So to- day, although the Ghazl is only seen by the elect few he has a very ac- curate idea of what everyone through- out the country is doing. Again, the actual living places of the Sultans were small, both here and at Yildiz. So at Angora today, the President and Prime Minister live in cottages, partly no doubt to mark the life of strenuous simplicity they lead, but also because the Turk is a nomad at heart.

Let us enter the room of the de- funct Sultans. It is an amazing sight. Ranged in the order of their succes- sion, stand lay figures of all the rul- ers of the house of Othman, from Mohammad the Conqueror to Mo- hammed the Reformer, dressed in their original robes, decked in their real Jewels, armed with their splen- did weapons and coiffed with their enormous turbans, in which aigrettes sparkle and glow. The emeralds in the hilt of the poignard of Mohammed lL-three of them pigeons egg size. and a fourth, still bigger, in his tur- ban-- led me with their size

In short. the whole place glitters with the visible vanity of the eye, and beyond that, with an invisible but very real vanity of race.

I write what I see and hear, and hesitate to prophecy. The faces of the people are brighter than they used to be. The visible women are all unveiled in Stomboul (and extreme- ly pretty ‘some of them are, in all classes), but I am told that even in Constantinople there are many wo- men who hardly ever go out, on ac- count of this heathen discarding of the veil. As to ountry districts, I can only say that just now, walking in an old town, when I passed a lone female she instantly converted her- self into a biack- shroud. It will be some time before Turkish women of the provinces consent to abandon that air of mystery and masquerade which every woman love9. But the immediate practical result of the emancipation is that any woman who wants to earn her living by teaching. or in some other profession, can do so without fear of censure. Of the mosques I would write at lenoth, but must end these preliminary impres- slons by mere glance at San Sophia, that fane of many memories and glories.

Fortunate is the visitor who is ai- iowed to enter during the hour of prayer, for in a mosque there should be the sound of Arabic to complete the harmonies of the building. 1h the early centuries of Christianity the beautiful proportions of San Sophia were no doubt respected. But if it had remained a Cathedral, I am All the Turkish ladies go to Para now for the dansantaloti would look for his desenchantees in vain.

If that were the end of world peace I would rather have War and individuality. Like the dwarf, I felt inclined to turn my‘ back on it all, and scream.

‘n. REMEMBERED WAR HEROES

During the great war Canadian troops garrisoned the Island of St. Lucia, which. because of its facilities for docking and ‘coaling large ships,‘ is one of the most strategic points in the whole Caribbean Sea. l

A number oi Canadian soldiers died while on duty there, and they are buried in a very beautiful cem- etery in the suburbs of Castries.

When the R. M. S. "Lady Nelson" was making her initial voyage, inaug- urating the new Canadian National Steamship service between Canada and the British West Indies, Peter R. Jack, Chairman of the Harbor Com- mLssion of Halifax. who was the per- sonal representative of the Prime Minister of Canada. and the Federal Government, placed. a. wreath on these graves, when, ihomeward bound, the ship called again at St. Lucia. The Governor of the colony, Hon. C. W. Doorly, and the Mayor of the town of Castries each placed a wreath in honor of the Canadians.

‘The ceremony took place under most extraordinary and inlpressive circumstances. The "Lady Nelson" did not arrive at St. Lucia until late afternoon. The sun had set when the official party left the ship. and the 5h"?- "ODR! l-Wlllﬂht gave only time Bﬂﬂllsh to motor to the cemetery. The simple ceremony of laying the wreath took place by the light of dimly burning lanterns. more was no bugler. but the call of the night 01m “V1118 over the palm groves was more impressive than any note or the "Last Post."
