wholly commend themselves to a people largely deprived of any say in the direction of what they shall have done for them. This finds fre- quent expression in a desire to change back to popular government under the suspended con- stitution. But the British Government, which provided from its Treasury the funds to pre- serve the economic integrity of Newfoundland is unconvinced that the island people can yet sail on an even keel.

F0 rest Fires

Having smaller forest areas than our neigh- boring provinces, we are less subject in Prince Edward Island to the forest fire menace, Never- theless, almost every summer sees outbreaks 0f brush fires causing thousands of dollars’ dam- age.

One of the greatest danger periods of the year in relation tn forest fires, says an exchange, is now with us-~-ihe early sunlmer. The high drying quality of the winds of late May and mrly June, have by removing the moisture from last year's dead vegetation, left it dry and in- flzllllnlable . Every wooded sector on the land is now a potential fire scene. A carelessly drop- ped lighted cigarette, or the leaving of a partly extinguished fire in, or near the woods, is all that is required to start a conflclgration that may result in heavy loss of property, perhaps of life.

Forest fires in the last decade have caused the destruction of more than $47,000,000 worth of lumber in Canada. Last year alone, stand- ing timber valued at follr and one half million dollars went up in smoke. Care and caution, ex- ercised by those in or near forests, will do much to reduce and help toward the elimination of the fire menace

Tile estimated annual cost as reckoned in dol- lzlrs and cents does not, of course, tell the whole story. Losses in soil fertility and scenic values, the damage resulting from floods, soiherosion alld the lowering of water levels in streams —— all are the inevitable results of the extreme de- nudation caused by forest fires.

it is intriguing to find the Canadian Liberal Rlonihly quoting that Tory of Tories Mr. Her- bert I-loovcr on the subject of Liberty as fol- lows: "Liberty is freedom to worship, to think, to hold opinions, to speak without fear, to choose lane's own calling, to develop his talents, to ‘win and keep a home sacred from intrusion, to rear children in ordered security, to earn, to spend, to have and accumulate property honestly."

According to the Canadian Liberal Monthly, Mrs. Charles Dunning, who has llever set foot on the Island, has been elected llollourrlry Vice- Presidellt of the National Federation of Liberal NVonlcn for P_ F. 1.2 while Mrs. D. _T. Riley has been selected as active vice-president. livi- dently the llusballrYs of Mrs. _T. j. Iiughl-s and Creelman blacArthur were too busy criticizing

A proposal to revert to English-French Mayor alternately in Montreal is being discussed but not too enthusiastically ill Montreal Civic circles. As at present situated an English Canadian has little or no prospect of election against a French Canadian, and it is being advocated that a return to the old custom of having both nationalities rc- presented alternately. This will be hard to bring about, especially seeing it was the English Canadians who broke the previous compact, and enabled Mr. Mederic Martin to have the long- est regime of any Mayorin ‘lKl/Iontreal history.

A special tax on all city employes not resi- dents of New York City was proposed by Mr. Jmnes I. Lyons, Borough President of the Bronx in a letter to the City Council.

Now the truth is. of course, that normally it is the duty of the individual, not only to provide for the subsistence of his dependents and himself but also to contribute his share to the revenues of the State, to those even of social ser- vices. In times of emergency it becomes the duty of the State to provide food lmri shelter tempor- arily for those who can no longer support themselves. But the dang- er is that once this temporary as- istance is extended. the individual comes to believe that the State really does owe him a living, that he has no direct personal responsi-

by a pretty little baggage we met at a spelling bee. About a. month ago the WPA tore up her street. Two weeks ago they got it all down again, smooth and sweet_ from curb to curb. Last week another crew turned up and be- gan the whole thing over again. A gentleman of the old school who lived on the block stood this second desolation ' as long as he could. Then, pale with the fury of a Republican and a taxpayer, he went to the cop on the corner. "I demand an explanation," he said. “I demand to know why this street is being torn up again." The policeman looked down at him with a tender smile. “I dunno, pop," he said. “Maybe somebody left in a sponge."—-The New York-

"Migraine is u common and serious condition. even though il- does not ‘kill. It is the cause oi more than four times the number oi serious headaches which re- suit from all other causes oom- bined."

I am quoting Dr. Thomas Cecil Hunt, London, England, in an ad- dress before the International Medical Assembly at St. Louis last year.

The fact that migraine is com- mun is known: that it is serious is nnl. sc well known excaoi: to the sufferers who would give much to be spared those days and some- times weeks of extreme pain. In two of every three cases there is a family history of migraine and about three of every four cases are in women.

"The attacks usually begin dur- ins the teen age or in early adult life. and come on at regular in- tervaiis, often to the very day. with no trouble between attacks. At. tacks may be brought on by dyspepsia, a neurosis (thinking you have an ailment when none is present). excitement (pleasant or unpleasant), certain foods, cold, the menses or monthly periods, and other conditions and are apt to occur when the patient is most anxious to be free of them." The attacks are not often caused by eye strain.

An attack may develop suddenly or may start with yawning, am“-

It would be gratifying if defin- ite causes could be assigned for the continuing drop in traffic ac- cidents and fatalities which is re- corded from every section of the country. The National Safety Council, which gives out the sta- tistics, makes no attempt to ex- plain them, and we are left with the suppostion that the new public realization of the horrors on our highways, plus the measures of education and law enforcement which are being taken, has at last had some effect. The fact that Milwaukee, where an elaborate system of traffic education has been undertaken, had the lowest traffic death rate for the first quarter of the year, and that Bos- ton. which has also given scien- tific attention to the problem, ranked second, seems to suggest that the improvement is no mir- acle or coincidence, but the result of human effort. --Balti1nore Bun.

The authorities who have de- cided that the Empire Exhibi-

interested in a new type of post- mark which is now to be seen on letters arriving in this country from Canada. For the oblong marking that cancels the stamp bears in bold black letters just the two words "Observe Sunday,"

which seems an unexpected piece of advice to receive from a post- mark. However, the range of doc- trine inculcated by those designs has increased vastly since the ai- most prehistoric period when "Post Early in The Day", was first in- troduced to public notice; postal services in some countries are now ready to accept frankly commer- cial advertising. And Sabbath- keeping instructions though they may seem a novelty at the mo- ment. may yet lead on to the post- mark which becomes a variety of the way-side pulpit idea, with a sage for improving message changed every other week.—Man- chester Guardian.

The world may be growing up_ very fast just now, but itisgetting cleaner. At a plumbers‘ convention in Philadelphia it; was disclosed that the bathtub business is get- ting better and better all the time. It was also disclosed that Italy and Germany are spending "mil- ions of dollars" on bathtubs and showers and such for their ann- ies, feeling that u cleaner soldier la a better soldier. Which suggestsa new plot that might be tried out as a measure of war-prevention. Send some high-pressure tub- and-soap salesmen out to cover the world. Let every military leader see baths in the light Hitler and Mus- solini have seen them in. Then send out a. first-class crew of scented-bath-saits drummers. And follow that. up with lavender sachet for the clothes, and then foundation creams for the skin. There wont e any fighting after that. The boys might be goaded into slapping one another but there wouldn't be any real fight- inu-Kitchencr Record.

In working out their scheme, how much allowance have the Japanese made for Chinese unity. That; is u. factor which Japan has persistent- ly under-estimated. Chinese unity is a real, live force which will en- dure, and the Japanese can thank themselves that this priceless blessing has been acquired by the Chinese people in large measure as the direct reaction to Japanese aggression where ail elao had failed. Chiang Kai-Buck has made it perfectly clear that he will never lay down arms until peace has been secured with honour-and peace with honour means the recovery of every inch of Chinese soil and the exclusion of every da use soldier therefrom Japan's est course, as things are, is the onqshe is report- edtobecontem ‘ . name, cessation of hostilities and co - dation in the country already ac- quired. The difference is that while continuation of the war means certain suicide for Japan, m attempt at piacutiou at this stage has at least a remote chance and will-not involve the country in such s heavy financial burden. — Hon!

Dr. Hunt points out that migra- ine shouid not be called one-sided headache because the pain is on both sides of the head in at least half the cases: also vomiting may be absent in one quarter of the cases. so it is not always a "sick headache."
