DAIRYING

A very successful and satisfactory in vogue- meeting of the Dairymerrs Assoc- iation Wednesday shows that who- ever else may be despondent regard- ing results and present conditions of affairs, it is not the dairymen of this Province. The President, Mr. John A. Dewar, delivered a most heartening address, and while ad- mitting that there liad been a de- cline in the price of butter fat of 55”.- over what it was so'nc years ago yet argued dairyuig was still more profitable than any other line of agriculture. He indicated that while seed potatoes and foxes were

COMING CONFERENCE .

Attention in England fs beginning to be centered on the forthcoming Imperial Conference at Ottawa in July. The House of Commons re- sumes at Westminster on Tuesday, and this is tending to focus editor- ial opinions on the principal ques- tion then to be discussed, that of tariffs. The London Daily Tele- graph in an editorial yesterday, according to a Canadian Press cable said: “The British delegation to the Imperial Economic Confer- ence will go to Ottawa next sun".- mer not merely to discuss terms and strike a bargain, but to lay the fovrdation for what Prime ltfiriste: R. B. Bennett, of Canada, once called, "The New Economic Em-

There has been some money made on seed potatoes and some on foxes, but for regular maintenance noth- ing can beat and nothing has ex- celled concentration on dairy or mixed farming.

der just what actually happens. Shock simply means that all the vital functions or activities of the body have been depressed, due to the depression or slowing of the cir- eulatlon of the blood. The pulse is rapid, the blood presure low, the skin pale or dark colored and per- splring; the temperature is below normal; the breathing rapid and shallow with occasional deep signing inspirations (breathing in); the limbs are weak with little move- ment the brain seems sluggish. ‘This is a. picture of complete shock. but any of these symptoms may be absent at first.

FEDER. I l, VACANCIES

Two vacancies exist in the House of Commons for constituencies which should uflord interesting con- tests. Athabasca, Alherta, became vacant some weeks ago by the death of the late J. F. Buckley, and Mais- onneuvc, Montreal, more recently by the death of the late Clement Robitaille. Both the deceased mem- bers were Liberals, and each had a comfortable majority in his constit- uency in the general election of 1930.

Neither of these constituencies, notes the Sydney Post, ever sent a Conservative member to the House of Commons, but in both the vote was closer in the most recent elec- tions than ever before.

souzvo ADVICE '

The opinion was expressed in these columns not very long ago that the tendency in European fin- ancial circles was towards the ab-

solute reputliatlon of reparations and war debts. This was the view

obtained from leading speeches and articles of recognized economists in the old country. Addressing the di- rectors of the Bank of Nova Scotia. and important business men at a luncheon in Halifax on Wednesday, the General Manager, Mr. J. A. Mc- Leod, President of the Canadian Bankers Association wholeheartedly endorsed these views. "The wliolc world is burdened with debt," he declared. "I believe with reparations and war debts wiped ofI the slate that we would have a return of prosperity in a very short time." He saw little immediate prospects of that, howciror, because "the very nation we look to for leadership will not take such action at this time." Ofhcourse, that is because there is an election in prospect. Once the elections in the United States and France are over some ar- rangement may be made to attain the end which Mr. I/lcLeod and others of his class consider prac- tically inevitable. It may be, how- ever, that either France or Eng- land will in time declare her inten- tion to dlsown war debts, whichever taking the lead being followed by tho other. So far as Canada is con- eemed, Mr. McLeod has absolute LunfidCflCG in the future. Canada is

Kell- ner, who had closer affinities with the Conservatives than with the Liberals. and who would almost cer- tainly have been elected in a straight fight against the supporter of the late King Government. Poll- ing ln this constituency is forecast for the latter part of March.

In the general election four can- didates contested Maisonneuve, two- Conservatives, a Liberal, and an In- dependent. The Liberal received 18,8B4 votes, the official Conserva- tive l3,494, the free lance Conserva- tive 313, and the Independent 1,052. The Liberal majority over the Con. servntive was thus 5.150. and his plurality over all 4,035. 2n 1926 the Lllwrill miliofily in Maisoiincuve was 10,870. in 1925, 5,215, and m 1921, 12,089.

Simple Medical Terms

(‘the New York Herald Tribune)

The reclassification of the dis- rzses and ailments of the human body according to cvwe and organ affected, with a strongly pro- uounccd preference for English nomenclature, undertaken by the National Conference on Nomen- clature of Diseases recently held at the New York Academy 0f Medcine, is o. project which can scarcely fall to commend itself alike to nieclicil authorities and the public, ivhcse health is in their keeping. The list, whch is to be printed by the United States Pub- lic Health Service within the noXl two months, will constitute an en- tlrcly new catalogue of dIoEIIOEl-lc titles, according to Dr. H. Burton Logic, executive secretary of thc conference, in which "English icrms in good usage are to be em- ployed whenever possible."

Long shrouded in a complex Latniitc jargon. the prrefloe of what has frequently enough been simple therapeutic or surgical technique has for ages assumed all the forbidding aspects of a pro- found art and mystery. It is prob- nble thrt in the new list numerous Latin and Greek terms will con- tnue in use in ‘the diagnosis of eye and skin d‘sea.se.s, but here they are, from long accustomed usage, familiar, and in most other casts English terms will be preferred. In general a simplicity of langirgc will obtan, nnd it ls hard to be- lleve that such a practice can be anything but reassuringiy health- ful in its tendencies andresult.

Canadian Literature

He had t0 confess that he know nothing of it, which was a polite way of suggesting n0 birds were flying overhead. Were there any birds to fly? He. remarked. further. that he had read some novels a.‘ "muscular ehdstlanity. by Ralph Connor, novels about plung- ing foo'bcill heroes who dallled with sin and then entered the ministry." Which, after all, is better than the other way about, though, perhaps, not so brisk a seller.

And he knew Gilbert Parker and had me; Charles G. D. Roberts, bu: the only contemporary novels he had read were those of Mum de la Roche. "which are, of course, no more Cltllfiillflfl than the Forsvte Saga." Why the "of course”? How did Mr. Priestly become judge orf what is “Canadian” So many things are Canadian, so many, many tlings. At least so many things are in Canada. Which 1s per- lizips wliy it is so difficult to say what is Canadian. Difficult. that is. for one who kllUWS something of

Some Evils 0f Radio

(Ottawa Journal)

Signs are not lacking that the blatant evils of the United States radio system of themselves are working out a cure. Surveys have shown an increasing impatience among radio owners with the com- mercialized program; correspond- ence columns of the American newspapers demonstrate in many quarters a longing for something closer to the British system which is state-owned and free from adver- tising talks.

The latest survey of the extent to which people listen to radio is being made by the Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Pub- lishcrs’ Association. It is still in- complete, but a statement from its manager says:

“The survey has gone far enough to give us the understanding that while the total number of radio sets in the country shows the potential circulation of radio, the actual number of people listening to the best programs at the most advan- tageous time must be a surprisingly small per cent of those who have radio ."

Convinced that all is not wcll with American radio, although only rec- ently Mr. Hoover gave it his formal blessing as the bcst system in thc world, the United states Senate has ordered the Federal Radio Com- mission to make a thorough inves- tigation into commercial advertis- ing through this agency. The reso- lution of this effect was sponsored by Senator Couzens of Michigan, and to it was added an amendment

Realism At Hollywood

(London Express)

The world is by this time well ac- quainted with the films as a forc- lng-ground for the emotions; all aspects of “romance" ripen very rapidly under the highlights of the studio and with persistent encour- agement from the megaphone of tho producer. Now it would appear that it is not only the passions which are heightened at Hollywood. fl0\v- ers and fruit are subjected to the same persuasive process. 1f the film producer wants a spring or summer setting in the middle of winter he makes one for himself in the studio: even in December, we are told,’ “trees are budding and flowers are pushing their way through the warm, moist earth-under the mer- cury vapor lamps." It seems curious that such prodigies of realism should be necessary iii a sphere which is so very largely concerned with artifice. To insist that the spring flowers ivliicli appear on the screen must be real spring flowers, forced into existence before their proper time, seems almost tin ex- cessive attention to detail: it sug- gests thc superdiligcnce of the leg- endary actor who blacked himself all over in order to play Othello. The older stage of three dimensions was content to leave such points to the scene painter; spring or sum- mer had to be created by brush work. Its newer rival, dealing with a flat surface and in black and white, dare leave nothing to chance; if tiic script says daffodils then real daf- fodils must appear, or the property man must force his tulips even as the nursery gardener forces his tomatoes. It is a branch of realism which seems painstaking rather than imaginative, and whether it has much effect on the ultimate audience that pays to see the films is open to considerable doubt. It screen artificial flowers would look seems highly probably that on the just as convincing as the genuine article. Perhaps the producer insits on growing them for his own enter- tainment and encouragement; sur- rounded by so much that is unreal he may demand forced flowers as an antidote to forced situations.
