I The tribute of remembrance which we shall pay at the War Monument tomorrow, which communities every- where throughout the Empire will pay at the same time and in the same spirit, is totally divorced from any feeling of pride in military ex- ploits. As the channel of ollr thoughts on Remembrauuu Day wears deeper with the passing years, we get closer to bedrock, to the un- derlying spiritual meaning of the sacrifice which that terrible World conflict entailed. The torch which we caught from falling hands is cap- able of guiding us to anew and better‘ civilization. 1hr that-melon was ii.- kindied, and carried at such cost. We must use it right- ly.

OFTEN MISQUOTED

There is no more misquoted pas- 8686 in all lmglish literature than the lines of Laurence Binyozfs wsr poem beginning with the words "may shall grow not old." ‘libs cor- rect text appears in today's Poet's Corner. We ‘ it to the study of all our public speakers. It may be argued that the transposi- tlonofawordortwoisoflittle consequence so long as the meaning is gluon. In greet poetry this argu- ment has no validity, for text and meaning are ' "IlblQ. The poet in this case has achieved a rsro felicity 0f ll-flgllflge and it is surely not too much to expect that his words be quoted with scrupulous care. Unfortunately, in an anthol- ogy issued some years ago a cor- rupt reading was given. and this inexcusable blunder may be re- sponsible for the orgy of misquots- tion which followed. ‘There are actually war memorials in Canada inscribed with the garbled text.

The electrification of railways is not the solution of the railway problems, as was once commonly thought, the veteran president of the Delaware and Hudson Rail- roads, Mr. Lencr l". Ioree, has been telling s. New Jersey Women's Club. “Electrification is a dead loss econ- e steam is now, and will continue to be, cheaper. Sources of electricity are so far from the market that the cost of power is considerably in- creased before it reaches the con- sumer." Rcferring _to the Diesel- powered locomotives, Mr. Inree said they were not practical because of the uncertainty of the fuel oil sup- ply. He pointed out that oil fields an becoming exhausted, adding that oil experts predict a. sharp rise in prices in a few years unless oil fields are brought into produc- tion. The airplane and the pas- senger automobile were described the greatest sources of competi- tion to rail carriers. The belief was expressed the air-lines, because they are gradually reducing operating costs, will claim a large propor- tion of tile rail carriels long-haul passenger traffic in the future.

The Alflrisllm) of York has made some opportune observations on the subject of constructive pac- ifism. S0 far from accepting the doctrine that men of peace, whether Christians or not, must renounce the use of force in international affairs even when exercised in the service of justice, Dr. Temple went far towards associating himself with lord Davies and the Interns- tlonill Pol-cs idea by declaring that it was better to have always avail- able a force tobe used in support of the awards of the nu Court o1 International Justice and the decisions of the league oi No- tiom than to adopt an attitude of extreme paciflcism.

It is highly probable that Ger- many could muster man power numerically equal to and as well tmlned as the army she mobilized in 1914.

There may be a disposition to sym- pathizc with Germany in that, where she was forced to disarm, it was distinctly implied that that was but the prelude of a general dis- armament which seems farther off now than in 1919. Nevertheless it does not pay to be sympathetic with Germany. Unfortunately she takes advantage of it. with an ex- tremely difficult situation develop- ing over the Sear, it would be well for the powers to tell her fairly perlemptorily to pipe down. and after that a thorough investigation of the exact state of Germany's armament seems to be about the only thing that will reassure world opinion that is considerably disturb- ed by French assertions, now inten- sified by the hoarse whisperings of Winston Churchill.

The cause of the resignation of the Government of Egypt is the fact that King Fund, who has es- tablished a firm tradition of palace government, is seriously ill, and that his son is a boy of fourteen. The illness has not shaken the tradition, the intermediary be- tween the sick sovereign and the Prime Minister being the Control- ler of the Royal Estates, Ibrashi Pasha, who has in fact made him- self into a very formidable power behind the throne. Perplexed as to how in deal with the situation, the Prime Minister, Yehia Pasha, con- sulted the Acting High Commission- er, Mr. Maurice Peterson (Sir Miles Lampoon being absent on lewe.) who appears to have told him frankly that, he would do well to drop two very questionable mem- bers of his Cabinet and take stops to curb Ibrashl Piano's power.

HIGH BLOOD PBISBUBI MAY BE INHIBITED

Justaswecaninheritfsir or red hair, blue or brown eyu, short or tall stature. it would seem that we can also inherit high blood

pressure. ‘ 1):, D, Ayman, " , in Archives of Internal Medicine, tells of a

study he made of 1524 membe of 2'17 families, Of ‘I80 members aged fiomiitowyearsofagoofthe second generation of the families, high blood pressure occurred in 14B of them. Although these 14B were thegameageandolibcimase! ,ss the rest cf the 780, they wem 14 pounds above the average weight compared. to 4 1-2. pounds. above tbs average weight for the norm-ll ildren.

The point clearly made here then is tint high blood pressure‘ usually goes with exces of overweight.

The families studied were then gmuped according to the presence or absence of high blood prusure in one or both parents. In the families whose parents had absolutely normal pressure the number of children with high blood pressure was only 8 poioeirit. In the families in which both parents had high blood pressure the number of children with him blood pressure was 45 percent.

Of seventy brothers and sisters of parents with normgl blood pressure 37 percent had high blood pressure, whereas of eighty-six brmhen and sisters of parents with ma» blood pressure, 65 percent had high blood

premure.

Ofueighteul families in which parts of three genuations were available the results wens similar to those of the foregoing seventy

bed Mgtrhels and sisters.

‘Phase results an strong evidence

The lesson then is that high blood psassure is natural for many be- cause inherited from the parents.

However it must be remembered that. overweight should be avoided by these individuals because over- weUlt with high blood procure may shorten the life man.
