It was doubtlefi a Sassenaoh who remarked that wherever tws. Scots fotegather on St. Andrew's Day they form s. mutual admiration society. ‘lb this jibe the Caledonian, if he deigned making any reply, might retort: Why not? Vain-boasting is one thing; a conscientious stock- taking of one's virtues and achieve- ments is another. Borne people-to quote an old English wrlter-"sail to the port of their own praise by a, side wind; as when they dlspraise themselves, strillliini; themselves naked of what is their due, that the modesty of the beholders may clothe them with it again." That is not a Scottish failing. And the most en~ vious outsider must admit that the post-prandial loquence that is as much s part of every St. Andrew's Day banquet as the steaming haggis, is amply justified. The pages of his- tory, of poetry and folk-lore, of myth and legend, are eloquent in praise of Scottish characteristics. Nor is it possible to pick up a volume of the latest scientific discovery, of travel, of politics and economics, of law, of literature, of theology, or achievement in any of the professions and businesses of modem life, with- out encounterlng these same char- acteristics exemplified in the car- eer of some sturdy Scot. Why then expect to find in his compat- riots an inferiority complex? Truly, it speaks much for their native modesty that they should lay aside but one day of the year for the con- templation and commemoration of such matters. And it has been argued with some Justice that they do so out of humanitarian motives pure andsimple; lest the world, to its own loss, should forget! Nowhere is "the Day" more con- geniaily celebrated than at the Caledonian Club functions in Char-, lottetown. This evening's banquctj will mark the one hundred and: tenth annual celebration by the Club of Bt. Andrew's anniversary. Rev. Hugh Miller, of Trinity United Church, will speak to the toast “The Day and a’ wha honour it," and Rev. B. B. MacKenzie, of St. Dunstarra‘ University, to ‘The Land o‘ the Heather." These addresses, it i". safe to predict, will lose nothing by com- parison with any of the speeches on former occasions. The Address m the Haggis will be delivered by Clansmsn D. Edgar Shaw, K.C. The Lieutenant Governor, the Premier, ' the Mayor and other distinguished guests will be present. lt will be an occasion for mirth and iollity, but also for something much more im- pol-tent, the sentiment inspiring the proceedings being one which lies deep at the roots oi 0141' British ideals of nationhood and citizen- 011i).

TONGUE 0F SCANDAL

Addressing a party meeting in I-faldimand County, Ontario, a few days ago, Hon. J. c. Elliott, who was Minister of Public Works in the lite King Government, declared that if the Liberals were returned at the ‘nexl election they would turn the searchllght on the great corporations, "whic ," he added, "are not being investigated at the present time, because they are friends of the Bennett Government."

Cant of this kind, says the Syd- ney Post-Record (independent)

does not tend to keep the discus--

siml of public affairs up to digni-

fied, intelligent standards. It is ‘ unworthy oi a man who has held

theresponsible post of a Minister

of the Crown in a Federal Cabinet. ~It is untrue in substance and cuts both ways in application.

The Government to which Mr. ‘ Illlott belonged was in office for a 1 years, up to the time of its defeat

in 1900. In that whole pwiod it

never made a gesture to "turn the siarchligbt on the great corpora- , tions." The disclosures of the

Beauharnois scandals were made in

Parliament after the King Govern- '" aunt's defeat.

A SIGNAL HONOR

A unique event in medical history on this continent will take place on June 10-14 next year, when a joint meetilll of use A " Medical Association and the Canadian Medi- cal Association will be held at At- lantic City, New Jersey. One of the important committees at this con- vention will be the Public Health and Industrial Medicine Committee. The Premier of this Province, Hon. W. J. P. MacMillan, MD, has been asked to take the chairmanship of this committee.

This signal honour is one which will give satisfaction and pleasure to all our citizens. It is _a tribute, not only to the high repute which Pre- mier MacMillan enjoys in his pro- fession, but to the Province as well, in which he holds the most res- , “ executive position, and of which he ls also Minister of Health and Education.

TARTAN AND KILT

It was the Endon Times which pointed out recently that the Scot istheonly citisenin theKingrs

worn them, says the Times, “so gen- erally that they can be on the music hall stage a capital joke, on the battlefield of glory, in the ballroom an envied distinction, on the moor a great convenience, and in the castle a symbol of “ nality favored by the highest in the land. The survival and success oi’ this costume may tempt the intellectually curious into profound speculations in the om- parative psychology of peoples. They may do well not to leave altogether out of count the truth that the Scottish national‘ costume is (to say nothing of its romantic associations and its convenience for certain pur- poses) a mighty becoming dress, and that the Scots have the sense to know it."

‘Emily 1'68?! I80 interest in heart disease was as‘ to the particular valve affected whereas to-day, while the aifectionpf some valves is more serious than others. interest lies X11089? in estimating the ability of the heart to do work.

How much work can the patient! hem do safely is the question the physician asks himself. By careful examination, by testing the rate at which the heart beats after‘ a cer- tain am of exercise, by record- ing the length of time it takes the beat of the heart to get back to its normal rate after this certain amount of exercfse, by" testing the lepgth of time the breath can be held when the air has been breath- ed out of the l and also how long it can be he after a deep breath, by the use of the electro- cardiograph and other tests. the physician can now advise the pat- ient just how much work he can do safely.

Thus one individual may be ad- vised to go about his regular work but to avoid excitement and over- eating, another may be advised to rest 4 hours daily besides 8 hours at night, another may be advised m re- main in bed for one two or three months, another may be allowed to be about his regular work but must take digitalis daily.

When the cause is known-rheu- matism, high blood pressure, hard- ening of the arteries-these condi- tions are treated.

It would seem then that just as patients with those formerly incur- able allments-pernicicus anaemia and diabetes-are now enabled to live the normal span of life, patients with heart disease may look forward to at least s. longer life than was for- merly thougbt possible.

The piper has s. good p. for receiving his unreshlnent from the chairman.‘ There was a King's Piper. as in the Exchequer Rolls of King David H, authority was given for a payment to him in i862.

In the Register House in Edin- burgh is the warrant, dated April 24, 1683, authorising the raising of 1,300 men, predecessors of the Royal Boots. The bagpipe came into the army at the date of the origin of our standing army, 35th April, 1633. It is known that Rep- burn's Regiment of Scots had the bagpipes, but it is less known in January, i665, at Landau, in Ger- many. “As the relieving force alp- proaohed.~ deafening shouts were raised. the Scottish march was played, and the sole surviving Diner, lam, of the thirty-six who had gone to Gustavus with Mac- kay's Highlanders, skilled a wel- come on the great war-piper of the North." In 1600, the standard pipe was the two-drone pipe. During the eighteenth century the third drone was added.
