"A canni- SPEECH."

" HE consensus was that it was a

great speech." says our Ottawa correspondent. of the speech of l-loii. R. B. Bennett. leader of the Liberal- Conservative party. in his address during the budget debate. a brief summary of which appeared in yes- terday's Guardian. Until we re- ceive the ofiiclal Hansard report, the speech must be judged largely by the impression it creat.ed in the House and the interest with which it had been awaited. As soon as the doors were opened every seat in the galleries was filled and throngs of people were unable to gain ad-’ nilttancc. A great speech had been! expected; a statesman was cxpcctJ

ed t0 speak on matters of vital in-1 terest to Canada and. judging byl the circumstances accompanying the speech. a statesman did speak. Our summary gives only glimpses of the speech, but even these glimpses‘ are more than significant. The liol- lowness of the reiterated and echoed Liberal claim that the na-

re-, i tlonal debt was being reduced dnr-l ing the past few years while the!

leaves the country. The shoes are no longer an attraction. Possibly

‘in his long waiting he dies in the

old home without inheriting the shoes.

In every walk of life there are those who are waiting for dead men's shoes. The job-hunter looks forward to the time when his con- temporary incumbent will shuffle off the mortal coil and the shoes and he himself will step into the latter. But the contemporary incumbent does not shuflle off. the waiter for the shoE shufiics off himself and the slices eventually fall to soirietine else.

All slices will day be laid aside and. if they are still fit to bi.- worn some one will fill them.

[Parliamentary impasse of 1926, in which the King Government had been defeated. Mr. Meigheii had been called upon to form’ a new Administration under difficult cir- cumstances. Mr.‘ Forke was then leader of the Progressives. The support of this group was necessary to any Government to complete the ircrk of the session. The Governor- Gencral. after consultation with Mr. Melghen. asked for an interview with the Progressive leader. at which interview Mr. Forke took from his pocket a document which he saiu‘ was a resolution of the Progressives declaring their willingness to sup- Iport Mr. Meighen until supply had ‘been voted. I-Iis Excellency declin- ed to accept the document.

What followed was that. the Pro- gressives did not support Mr. Meigh- en; his Government was defeated and a second appeal to the country became necessary. Mr. King was called upon to form a new Govern- ment and Mr. Forke abandoned the Progressives and accepted a seat in the King Cabinet. The document ,wliicli Mr. Forke had offered to the ‘Govcrnor-Gcneral and which the i

latter declined. to accept has not been made public. Mr. Forke was

Although the actual causes of sleep are still under question, nevertheless the soundness or in- tensity of sleep has been investiga- ted by different research men. and the findings are all in agreement. The experiments were made by using sounds whose degree of loud- ness or noisiness could be measured. and seeing at what hour or time it was most difficult to arouse the individual after he went to sleep.

They found that there was a rapid increase in the soundness or intensity of sleep during the first two hours, which reached its high- est point between the first and sec- ond hours. and then dropped very rapidly again. so that by the third hour the patient was very near the waking stage again.

Now this knowledge is worm something to the individuals who find that they get ofl’ into a sound sleep. and then "in the middle of the night". as they call it. find themselves wakeful.

It would’ appear that the sense of hearing is the most easily aroused of all the senses, and it is only good sense therefore when you are‘ 111 11 Strange city or in a strange room or surroundings where the noises will be “different" to those u)
