Preferential duties are allowed on all British goods entering Canada through Canadian ports, but when they enter through American ports the full customs duty is charged. The Senator above referred to stat- ed that 100,000 bunches of bananas had passed through Boston destined for Canadian points in 1928, and that bananas were subjected to n. dutyof ‘fifty cents a bunch because theyl entered through American “The United‘ States never loses jciebt "or itlrdwn interests.

This material will

vestigation of the faintest and more distant nebulae. with results which can as yet only be surmised. At any rate. it'ls estimated that the new telescope will show nebulae to a dis- tance of 400,000,000 light years. and that within this range their num- ber's will amount to perhaps 5.000.- 000 or 10,000,000. A few millions more or less are as nothing in these vast computations. In our own little sys- tom the stars are estimated at some thirty billion in number. There can be little doubt that within‘ this field the new instrument will add some hundreds of millions of stars which can be photographed and meas for brightness.

‘zvoieoosyomo Way’;

GREAT change in the fresh fish industry in the Dominion. with benefit to produce o and consume n alike. is predicted as the result of the study by the Biological Board of Canada of a new method of frbezin! fish and preparing it for market. The arrangement for the sale in Tor- onto of fillets of “internally refrig- erated" Atlantic haddock ia an ef- fort-to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new process. The investiga- tion was undertaken because frozen nah had commonly been found, af- ter thawing. to be in poor condi- tion, apart from any spoilage due to decomposition before freezing took place. The solution of the difficulty was found in the development of economical methods of rapid freezing of fish by the use of brine at about zero Fahrenheit, instead of at very low temperatures, and by bringing that brine into more or less direct contact with both sides of the fish. The fish are filleted and the flesh is formed into half-pound blocks. five inches long. three inches wide and nearly an inch thick.’ These blocks are wrapped in parchment paper. rapidly frozen and packed. two in a carton. The fish so frozen and pre- pared. according to the ‘Atlantic Fish- eries Commission, is found. 81w!’ thawing. to have" retained all, the qualities of avor and texture of fresh Atlantic fish.

In connection with the process the Toronto Mail and Empire recalls the frequent discussions of plans for cu- lillging the domestic market for pro- ducts of the fishing industry of the Maritime Provinces. The problem of extending the home market of that industry was being debated in the liousc of commons you the nleht 0f February. 1916. when the Parliament buildings in Ottawa were destroyed by fire. It is now suggested that the problem hns been iu large measure

solved by the results of tllc work of _

the Biological Board. If it has, cou- sumers in Central Canada will have the advantage of plentiful supplies of sea fish and the fishing industry of the Maritime from the marketing of that fish-

Survcylng the results of five 701$’ broadcasting of clrurcll services. tho Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bish- op of Washington, is favorably im- pressed with the radio as an effective aid to church work. "The aged. the shut-in, the sick. are the chosen bene- ficiarles cf the broadcast service. Sig- nificance is attached to the form of service if it is to reach these people effectively: it should be "of a digni- fid devotional nature coupled with a practical and simple message that is designed wholly to meet the common needs of men and women of every class.“ This, we should imagine. is the ideal form of all church services.

Recent mail and bank robberies in Ontario and major crimes ‘of other kinds in Ontario and Quebec have been traced to American gangsters. It ls regrettable that arsection of the Canadian press. whose zeal has out- run discretlcn in looking for evidence damaging to those provinces which have adopted Government control of liquor, should have featured these in- stances of lawbreaking as of Cana- dian origin. It is about time that a little patriotic pride was taken in the government of our own countly. Canadits crime TBCOITIJBS compared with that of the Republic to the south. is highly creditable. When American criminals are caught and found guilty of lawbreaking in this country, the occasion is offered to show the world that Canadian justice is a thoroughgollng affair. It is well. too, in these cases, to place the onus where it belongs Canada cannot af- ford to be regarded as a. safe refuge for gentry of this kind.

When with more people in a coun- iry there are lower deaths per thousand there must be a reason.

is they are given no chance to show these qualities when playing against their equals. or their batters. They play simply the variations they know. and these lead nearly always to a. draw. They play according to] knowledge, as they must. It is a dull conclusion. but it is inevitable if a player is to have regard to his po- sition in a. tournament. He cannot be expected to commit suicide for the sake of sport.

"The demand, however, for a live- lier game. where there would be more combination. more sacrifice, and more scope for native talentand imagina- tion, and less roorn for the chess player's least valuable virtue, mem- ory. is thoroughly legitimate. Let the critics, and let the first-class play- ers, who suffer quite as much under the present system as the average competent observer. have what they want. There must be a change in the game (as there has been in other

games). not in its structure or fun |

damental principles, but such as o ‘abolish the present drawbacks, and to give the game once more an unli- mited lease of life. The change, I am convinced. must be fairly far- reaching; for no shifting the relative position of the pieces. as at present arranged on the board, nor any of the many minor often suggested chang- es. will do. It could be a palliative for a very short time.

Larger Board

“There remains then a larger board to consider, and the addition of extra pieces. Personally. I am in favor of the hundred-square board. m by 10. with two new pieces for each aide. the one to have tho pow-l ers of the rook and knight. Where, exactly these pieces should stand at the start can be settled latenthcugh 1 suggest one eaoh next to the king and queen; and there would be an- other minor change ‘to consider, in: Biving permision for the pawns toI move one. two. or three squares on the first move. in order tn bring the opposing sides more quickly In much with one another.
