past. tales of heroism have come

‘which sustain our hopes for hum-

anity. ‘ The well-known traditions of the sea were maintained; slflPB stood by until the last vestlge of hope for rescuing human lives had to be abandoned! and it was due. to this ‘heroism on the part oi sailors mg 03091-3, many of whose names are unknown to fame. that so many lives were rescued.

Qf the many that figured in this heroism two names‘ stand ‘out pro- minently, those of a little Barbado- es negro, Lionel Licorice, a quarter- master on the Vestris who ‘saved twenty lives by,his own efforts. and a young Irish boy, OjLoughlin, who stood by his radio i. instrument. flashing-out signals which brought scores of ships to the rescue. O‘Loughlin‘s last message was: "Good-bye"; and he was one of the last to jump overboard. He per- ished, but his act of ‘heroism will be added to the traditions of the mer- cantile marine to inspire others al- ong the path of duty. s

._.... 2 PRESIDENT vcoounca _in _his recent Armistice speech has thrown o. bombshell into the inter- niitionalpond. To put it mildly, his advice to Europe and particularlyto Great Britain, and his inslnuation that. Great Bfltlllzl was not playing thc game, was indtscreet and- ill- aiivised. _ Out ‘of “such speeches, as these have arisen international dif; fcrences and even wars, He was misinformed as to the relative sizes of the British and Smerlcan navies. His statement that the United States would have 40 cruisers as compared with Britain's ‘68, when the present legislation is carried out. is not in accordance with _the facts.‘ Including.’ only ‘the ships completed or‘ under ‘construction. Britain has58 cruisers with a dis- placement of 360,000 tons. while the United States haspali cruisers with a displacement- of 334,000 tons. With the addition of l5 more 10,000- ion cruisers to the United States flcet, the American total tonnage would amount to 484.000 tolls, while if all the five British cruisers now projected are laid down, theBritlsh tonnage would stilliah short by 400.000 tons, allowing for‘ more ships ‘due to _be scrapped. i The difference between President, Coolidge’s figures oi 68 cruisers for Britain and the real total of 5B is made up of five obsolete cruisers which are being scrapped and five cruisers which are merely projected and for which no money has yet been voted. . ‘»

There were miles in which the "car sank to the axle in. soft sand and pro- gress could only be made by laying down corrugated ironvisheets on which they could move forward only four feet. Then the supporting sheets had to‘ be removed from be- hind the cal" to the front. “It was stop, scratch sand,‘ replace sheets, againlforward four feet."

Between airships and airplanes thereare opposite opinions as to

The Graf Zeppelin in‘ her first westward trip has rather weakened the faith of German builders in the superiority of the airship over the planaand just now the great Rohr- bacli czompany is building a series oi eight three-engined flying boats de- signed for service between Germany and Argentina. The engines are each of 600 horsepower and the fly- ing boats are the largest everpuilt,

this condition, and it is not lsuspect- ed by themselves nor by their phy- cians. ‘ ._ - ~ .

Dr. F. W. White. Boston, suggests that a. barium enema 0r injection, should beused in such cases. as it will show up the condition best and with least trouble.

“The. commonest symptoms are constipation. abdominal distress or pain. gas“ pains and distension of, the lower abdomen from this gas."

He reminds us further that when any abdominal condition is giving pain and distension in this region, it would be well to remember that this condition is not uncommon.

v It. often causes the. stomach to as- sume all sorts of shapes owing to the pressure oi the gas against it,

You may remember that in the case I mentioned two years ago. the patient was absolutely free of the pain for six weeks, during which‘ time he was paddling a canoe for a number of hours every-day. The pain returnedwhen he got back to his office work.

And the lesson?

That while there are cases that will need medical and diet treatment, and some‘ even surgical _ treatment. the majority will befree from these gas pains if they take regular bend- ing exercises. ‘ . l, 4+0+¢o+o++0+++0+0++44o40

The drainage basin of Peace River proper, exclusive of its _head- . quartersmmbraces an era approxim- ately of 90.000‘ squalje-ymiles. The upper or western part o‘! this area is quite mountainous. while the-lower part is somewhat the revei-se. In the popular conception of the coun- try these extremities are ignored. thus leaving agreat, compact mid- section belt of potentialagricultural land that extends somewhat the actual north and south limits oi the Hence untouched. This squaring up process results in a more or less ar- bitrary area. as shown on the key map of the Peace River‘ on a prQ ceding page. It conforms to the boundaries of the Peace River and GrandePrairie land agencies, except that the northerly ,limit is here shown as the 59th degree of north latitude while for purposes of record, the Peace River land agency extends to the 60th deg.. the northerly boun- dary of Alberta.

country has an average of approxi- mately, 73,500 square miles, or in round numbers 4'1 million acres. This exceeds the combin ' areas of Ire- land. Scotland and Wales. It is over six times the size of Belgium. near- ly flve times that of Denmark, ohe- tliird the extent of Franceyand slightly larger than the South Am- erican Republic oi’ Uruguay. Com-

This great country comprises the northwesterly part of the portion oi theaProvince of Alberta and a. smal- ler area known as the Peace River Block in the adjacent Province of British Columbia. Very approximat- ell’ its geographical boundaries might be described as followszi . . Areas of equal longitude include the’ eastern parts of Washington and Orqgon. Nevada and the lower part of California. The centre of the‘ Peace River country is nearly 1500' miles due north of the city of Loci Anxelos. California.
