FRIDAY, PROSPECTIVE MA RKET

A news item in yesterday's Guar- dian indicates that there will be a phenomenal scarcity of potatoes in England due to the effects of ﬂoods and blight on the crops, a condition which has also affected adversely the crops of Ireland and Scotland. A somewhat similar condition pre- vails in France, where destruction, estimated to extend to the loss of a quarter oi the crop. has been caused by the potato bug.

Undoubtedly the Canadian pro- ducer would ilnd a proﬁtable potato market in the Old Country this season. At present, however, there is an embargo on potatoes from this country into England. If this em- bargo could be removed an advan- tageous market might be made available which would do much to relieve the situation in both coun- tries.

In the circumstances, it would seem advisable for the farmers irl this Province to “make haste slow- ly" in disposing oi their potatoes at unproﬁtable prices. It is impos- sible, of course, to predict the re- sult oi negotiations ior removal of the embargo, but the possibility of the British market being made available should not be lost sight of by our farmers, and every care should be taken to conserve the loc- cl potato crop in good condition.

SUGGESTS NEW METHOD _ i '

A new method o! teaching his- vory has been suggested in an ad- dress delivered this week to the students oi St. Andrew's College by‘ Sir William Clark, British Trade Commissioner for Canada. As taught when 1D was at school, Sir William complained, history very rarely got within measurable dis- tance oi one's own times. School schedules did not seem to recognize that the events oi today are his-

.tory in the making. A change in

educational methods has taken place in recent years, and undoubt- cdly more emphasis is being placed in schools and colleges upon the study of present day events. Never- theless, the suggestion of Sir Wil- liam will still be regarded as a somewhat revolutionary one. It is, in short, that history should be taught from our own times back- wards. The student may thus get the most essential facts ﬁrst; he may sees how the present has grown out of the achievements and errors of the immediate past, and after that, ii sufficiently interested, he can dive further into the roots of

things; he can go back gradually through the ages, through the ear- licr Canadian history to the his- tory of Europe; through the annals of Rome and Greece and Egypt to

the yet older

OCTOBER

civilizations, and rvcn. ii he wishes it, millions of neons farther to the age when the surface of the world was a vast iro- pical swamp which harbored the "dragons of the prime," or further ltill to the age when silence brood- ed over the steaming lvntcrs before life began. On the other hand, if the student begins in the palace- zgoic age or thereabouts, or even

Ipeace, years of fluctuating “ rs- ity and prosperity culminating in the present world depression.

With the present situation in England sir William also dealt in his address. l-le believed that eco- nomic salvation will come only when the principle oi equality oi sacriﬁce has been adopted through- out the world- Perhaps the most encouraging feature oi the situa- tion today, he declared, is that at long last there are signs that the need of international co-operation is beginning to be realized. The closer linking up oi the nations through new means oi transporta- tion and otherwise, ha: introduced new elements oi uncertainty into business. We are in a world which is less stable than oi old, a world where new inventions and proces- ses come treading fast on the heels of their predecessors; where expec- tation oi change will be the normal condition oi things, and oi change progressing at a pace oi which our‘ forebears could never have dreamt. Adaptability is a necessary quality to success in such a world, and it is the young who possess this qual-

opportunities lie ahead for the younger generation, but they can only be grasped by those who are well equipped for the task. In this connection Sir William insisted that students cannot begin too soon to take an interest in and study the things going on about’ them- the current progress not only oi Canada but oi other countries, and the political and economic move- ments of the Empire and oi the world.

cler mom AUSTRALIA

Another oi the many tragic re-

percussions oi the present trade de- pression is apparent in the remark- able petition, purporting to come from 100,000 emigrants to Australia, to the British government to re- patriate them. The petition sug- gests that the signatories were induced to emigrate by misleading propaganda circulated by the paid agents of the Australian govern- lnent and that the result has been misery, semi-starvation and de- spair, frequent suicides, and young men herded together in internment camps under bad conditions. It is very difficult, comments the Vancouver Star, to see what action the British government can take in a matter oi this sort. No doubt too rosy propaganda was occasionally responsible ior emigration to Aus- tralia, as has sometimes been the case with reference to Canada, but in both Dominions the chances have been good in normal times.

It is the abnormal state oi affairs that has been largely responsible for the condition of affairs com- plained oi in this petition, circum- stances which are evidently much worse than any in Canada.

It is quite clear that the mother- land. in the midst of her present trade and unemployment crisis, cannot repatriate 100,000 people, or 50,000, or 10,000 for that matter. She may, however, as she has so oiten done in the past with reference to Dominions and dependencies, come

King Canute and the sea waves, it takes quite a long time to get down to 193i and he may never get with- in measurable distance of it. If the teaching of history could be so managed as to extend up to the present times. the rising generation its trustceship possessing a far clearer grasp oi its affairs, a point oi departure from which to view the movements oi its

would enter into

These thoughts were suggested to Sir William in looking back over in the last twenty years has seen so many dis- asters come upon it, disasters which with wider knowledge and greater wisdom it might have been able to

EDITORIAL NOTES

There is certainly no ground for pessimism in the statement issued by the Department oi Trade and Commerce that in per cupita trade among the world trading nations Canada has risen from seventh po- sition in i013 to fourth position in 1030, while gradually moving down the scale in per caplta volume oi importation.

' aouon ' or INTEBTINE

A short time ago I spoke about the distress in the stomach and ab- Idomcn that is really caused by an ‘irritable oohdltloh of the last pal-t. of large intestine. It would seem that something irritates this portion ' of the large intestine in such a way Ithat its muscular walls coat ' or 5 close in a sort oi spasm.

The spasm practically stops all ' ilolvmvard movement oi the contents lot the large intestine and produces l the symptoms which extend all the ' lvay up the rest oi the largo bites- tine about two or three feet, and then up the entire length oithe small intestine which is twenty feet, right to the stomach.

The result is that the individual {feels ‘sick at the stomach’, there is much belching of gas, the food seems to disagree, them Is nausea and sometimes vomiting, consider- able distension by gas, general ab- dominal discomfort, pain, and con- stlpation.

Drs. C. E. Gilliland and Emanuel Sigoloii, St. Louis, state that these symptoms so greatly resemble var- ious organic conditions-obstruction, growths, appendicitis, kidney and liver conditions-that operations are quite often performed and nothing of an organic nature is found.

What is oiten a cause oi this ir-

ritable or spastic condition of the large intestine? The eating oi what is called the rough ioods—-cabbage, cauliﬂower, celery, raw fruits, raw vegetables-which irritate or rather over irritate the walls oi the intel- tlne to the extent that they cause the extreme contraction or spasm. Some purgative medicines are so severe that they can also cause this spasm or partial closure oi the in- testine. While the physician usually gives some medicine to loosen up the muscular spasm for the time being, the ideal treatment o! course is to stop the use of the rough diet and harsh purgativcs, and try to get the intestine into a normal condition by lneansof bending exercises with knees straight, and ii neceasary the use oi plain paraﬂlne oil.

In other words, rough foods should not be used in all cases, although most people can safely use them in small quantities every day,

Atkinson made a tour oi the Maritimes dur- ing the present year and it is on his suggestion that the above plan will be incorporated into the pub- lic schools. This system will, according to R. B. Hanson, secret- ary oi the Fredericton Board, see the pupils taking one hall hour's instruction aften the regular school period, with a certified i teacher in charge.

Not inrequently In European history a foreign war has been precipitated to divert attention from . failure at' home. It is not yet| certain that success will crown the Russian experiment in national administration. The state oi Russian finances for some time to come will give pause to the war- ‘mongers, end there may be no serious danger; but the country Isl not threatened from any quarter. and the existence cl the great army under such conditions naturally gives rise to speculation as to future developments. There is not B.‘ government in the world more un- scrupulous than that of Russia. and this fact has some signiiic- n-nce during any period oi tension such as now exist; between Japan and China.

Bin-The recent automobile accid- ents which have occurred on our highways in which one youth has lost his life, and as the result oi which p, r ** ‘ oi Summon-side lies critically injured, leads one to won- do: just how long it will-be before measures will be taken, to make driving at night a safer thing on Prince Edward Island.

Any person who has driven an automobile after dark on our-roads cannot but have at some time or other met teams, bicycles, and vari- ous conveyances on the public thor- oughfares without lights.

The readers of the Press hear n.1- ways of the serious accidents, but what oilthe thousands oi close calls, accident that are avoided by a hairsbreadth and that would never have had even the elements oi an is in them had both vehicles been properly lighted?

At the present time under the laws of this Province the iuil res- ponsibility of seeing these lightleu equipages rests with the automobile driver. He is given no aid and es- pecially on a. rainy or foggy night has the full responsibility of the lives oi not only whoever may be in his car, but oi all who may be driving teams or bicycles on i" road in front oi him. These people seem content that this be so. They are apparently not sufficiently in- tcrestcd in their own lives to aid in preserving them and saving their bodies from injury. They should be made to do so.

Prince Edward Island highways are being steadily improved, more traffic moves over our roads than ever before. We pride our-selves on our advancemen‘. Yet, what oi our laws governing these roads and the increased use of them? Are they up to date and in keeping with the times? Do they adequately protect as much as possible and as they should the users oi the highways? They do not.

At the present time the majority oi vehicles on the roads are auto- mobiles owned by people in every walk oi life in our province. Farm- ers and city dwellers aliho now use thh mode oi conveyance. It is to the mutual benefit oi every person. in this province that all vehicles on the roads after dark carry at least one light. Even a lantern hung under a wagon will reveal its pres- ence on the highway. Automobile drivers do not like accidents or run- ning into people any more than the others like being run into.

I charge that these accidents are unnecessary and that a. radical change in our traffic laws in this respect is urgently needed. The

was a reply to mine, oi Sept. 20th ult. Your readers will lemcmber that in my letter, I made the rc- mark that I might gather some val- uable in.“ ation from “Islander? next latter. , And sure enough he has given us almost everything ex- cept his Dhoiﬂﬂﬂilh.

I-Ie states that “Canadlarﬂ is evid- ently trying to convey to your read- ers that "Islander" is an American citizen. In that statement he is absolutely wrong. "Islander" gave that impression himself by the gist oi his letter. As I am of average intelligence only, that was m! d9- duction from his letter.

"Island Sportsman" says he has called my bluiI. To this let me state that none oi my letters con- tained any bluiI. The shoe fits the other foot. "Island Sportsman" has failed to answer my questions, and I feel pretty sure he could if he wanted to.

It seems strange that a gentleman oi ‘his calibre did not have all the facts at his finger tips. Instead, re refers me to a letter in the "Guard- ian" oi Sept. 23rd ior his answer which I did not read as such.

I have all the necessary data at hand to deal with the “Migratory Bird" laws from any angle, some of which I will give n. little later on.

It seems strange that “Island

Sportsman" so severely criticises me i

for standing up ior the rights oi our country, ior which he states he fought for during almost five years oi his war career. (Something rotten in Denmark).

Iet me now come to that unfor- tunate duck which came in contact with n. charge oi No. 6 shot, dis- charged from the hand of Island Sportsman. He says he has fum- ishcd proof that our ducks go as far south as Massachusetts. Let us see how far his woof goes.

This being the case, your readers will wonder why we don't get some of these banded birds here, especially when "Island Sportsman’ claims that our birds go there.
