Britains Trade Surplus An estimate of the net balance on all tran- sactions between the United Kingdom and other countries in 1935 has just been issued by the 'Board of Trade, writes l\lr. FRl£l)ERlC lluuu, Chief Czmadian Trade Commissioner in the United Kingdom, in the Commercial Intelligence Journal. This reveals a surplus on the credit side of 37,000,000 pounds, the first favourable result since 1930 when the credit balance was 28,000,- 000 pounds. 111 1934 there was a debit of 2,000,- 000 pounds while in 1933 receipts and out-goings were practically equal. The normal situation may be gauged by the fact that in 1928 the United Kingdom was a creditor to the extent o_f 122,- 000,000 pounds. Chief among the “invisible ex- ports" of the United Kingdom is the income ac- cruing to residents with investments abroad. The Imount which this is calculated to have realized in :9 5 was 185,000,000 pounds, or 10,000,000 ’ more than in 1934.

The Court of Appeal found FARRAR within his rights, maintained a Superior Court dismissal of A111-:L/moi-: C01.- LARD'S suit for $503.90 in damages for the injury to his daughter. Mr. Justice LETOURNEAU, deliv- ering the judgment of the court, admitted that FARRAR had utilized the "extreme limits" of his rights in expelling the young trespassers, and considered that gentler means might have been found; neverthcless,;ie *i;ou’r'1Ed the act justified. "If the hour has come to ask the Imperial Parliament to give the Parliament of Canada the right to amend the constitution with the con- sent of all the provinces, the Imperial Parlia- ment should refuse to grant this power of am- endment at least insofar as civil rights, religious and educational rights guaranteed to minorities by the constitution are concerned,” Attorney- general PERRAULT said in discussion of recent conferences on the move to seek amendment of the British North America Act.

We are interested in our Island home, and we enclose I clipping from The Guardian of last April, which quotes from the Winnipeg Free Press that twenty million dol- lurs are sent out of the Maritime Provinces annually for food stuffs. Now can you tell us what we can produce of this food and get pro- ductlcn costs? I am. sir. etc., JOHN B. MACFADYEN Augustine Cove. ' (ENCLOSURE) ' The Winnipeg Free Press (Lib- eral) which has long preached world_ trade as the only worthwhile econ- omic panacea, has discovered, with evident surprise, that this is not the question of prime importance with Maritime farm producers. Under_t.he caption “A Maritime Mystery" it notes that “while over- production is the world problem and while most of the other pro- . viuces are diligently seeking outside ‘ markets for their surplus farm pro- ducts, the under-production of food products in the Maritime Provinces still continues, and they are now buying $20,000,000 worth, yearly, from other parts of the country." It finds that Nova. scotin does most of the importing — about $16,000,000 wort.h—but that New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are also doing it in lesser degree. "It will be incomprehensible to Western people," says the Free Press, “that such 9. strange situa- tion,sh0uld exist—and our western fnnners will regret that they are not nearer to the Msritimes and able to get in on some of the bus- lness. “There is plenty of good land in the Maritimes, it can produce agri- cultural products of high quality, and there is a constant market. Yet the Maritime Provinces are not feeding themselves, but they pur- chase large supplies of food from Quebec and Ontario. "Business in the Maritime Pro- vinces would certainly beneflt if these food supplies were produced at home and if the Maritime farm- ers received the millions of dollars that are spent on them. And with improvement in business there would be less unemployment and fewer people on relief. As it is. the imported’ fann products are partly used to feed the unemployed." In "Nova.

The illlteroic popula- tion 10 years of age and over-—that is, those unable to read or write-= is given at 4.26 per cent. Among mines-it was 4.92 per cent. and among females 3.50.

It is not iiconceivable that one Nova Sootia. school district con- tained twenty-five illiterate young men—there were 17,139 of both sexes in the Province. New Bruns- wick contained 21,440; Quebec, 103.- 212; Ontario, 34,157; and the four Western Provinces more than '15.- 000. If an excuse were sought for fall- ing to teach all youths the two ele- mentnry e.nd utilitarian subjects, it should not be in the 0lder-estnbl- lished sections of the East. The minimum percentage of illitcrscy in the oountry—2.30 in onts.rio—is bad enough. Why should New Bruns- wick run it up to 6.91. Quebec to 4.76. and even Nova. scotis. to 4.26? Why, in fact, should there be any great disparity between Provinces in educational opportunities and attainments if the youth across the country are expected to have equal chance in life's competition? Dur- ing recent months there has been considerable talk about the neces- sity for uniformity in social and in- dustrial legislation. Essential as this may be, is it nearly as urgent as uniformity in education?

To it is attached to the upper end of the large muscle you can see standing out on the neck when you turn_your head; its lower end is attached to the bone forming upper part of chest. However this bone is not "solid" but is honeycombed with little cells or holes and when infection gets into these mastoid cells it is called ‘ idltis or more commo 1y I mastoid. This is a. very serious condition because these mastoid cells are very close to the brain. Thus when there is pain at he lower part or point of this bone, it is always I matter of deep concern to the physician. In giving a simple explanation of the mastoid and lnnstoiditis, Dr. Louis '1‘. curry. Illinois Medical soc- iety, in Hygeln makes these points: 1. The mastoid is the bony hump on the skull behind the ear. 2. The individuals who have not had ear disease, the mastoid is till- ed with cells or bony pockets. When there has been disease of the ear these pockets are blocked up. 3. The mastoid cells are part of the middle ear structure. other parts of the middle ears Ire the tube running into it from the mouth to let sir go against the inn- er side of the ear drum, and the middle ear cavity inside the drum in which are located the three little bones which carry sound from the drum to the special part which re- ceives the sound and carries it to the brain. 4. Mastciditis is an inflammation of the mastoid cells and usually fol- lows infection in the throat which infection has been carried up to the middle car through the little tubs above mentioned. 5. The at-.-'ousness of In infec- tion of the mastoid arises from the fact that it lies close to large blood vessels and the brain itself. 6. Unless mastoiditis is relieved by surgery at the proper time it may extend to these bloodvessels and to the brain and cause serious complication. _ Remember then, that a physician should be called when there is pain behind the ear in cases where there has been throat Ind ear inflamma- £i.°_"- lays upon them. The relations in process of establishment between Great Britain and the United States comtitutc an example of the new system of balance and reciprocity which the development will demand. Great Britain stands nstrlde the North Atlantic in New- foundland and Bermuda; the Unitcd states sstride the Pacific in I-"-nolulu and the Phlllipplnes. The United states is‘ to be per- mitted to, use British stepping stones on the Atlantic crossing: Great Britain will some day be .1. lowed to call at Honolulu and San Francisco (:1 the way between New Zenland r‘~:l Canada. In either case the aircraft of one nation win be dependent for accurate naviga- tion and safety on services provid- ed by the other. The ocean crossings. more that the average rouics over land, de- mand ground services of the high- est order. The United States made ready with ‘ireless, storehouses, workshops and fuel dumps on Wake Island and Guam Island for the ocean service it has now no- oomplished. A Distinguished PracticaLJoker The death of Mr. Chnrles Long- ton Clarke, Telegraph Editor of the Toronto Mail Ind nnpiro, removes one of the outstanding practical Jokers of ncwspnperdom. The perpetntion of news hoaxes by Mr. Clarke had long been I source of Iniusement to himself, fellow workers and mnny others. They usuIlly took the form of news dcspstchss from some non-exist- out but important-sounding Jour- nal or Iuthority. but werodesigned to "take in" I porti- sular person or group of persons. It was seldom they appeared ' in print. some achieved considerable fame and are stillchuckled over It newspaper gnthcrings from one Ind of the country to the other.

In "More Candid Chronicles," Hector Chnrlesworth described another hoax Dflfvetzrstcd by Mr. Clarke during the opening of King Tut-Ank-Amen’s tomb.
