The value of this industry was em- - phasized recently in an addrea de- livered in Montreal by Col. Wilfred Bovey, president of thd Clmldiii-n Handicrafts Guild. Col. Bowl"! lecture was designed to show the place of handicrafts in the nation- al economy and their cultural and spiritual value. As an instance of economic value the lecturer pointed to the fact that since 1928 raw wool has dropped in price from 20 cents a pound to five cents, and he ask- ed if it would not be possible for the farmers to manufacture more of the wool into cloth, rather than at- tempt to sell 1t in an unproductive market. Native handicrafts, however need 111610 bubllcity. In Canada. people worship too much of anything that came from abroad when we have things equally as good at home; handicrafts would be better served past ten or fifteen years it has been negligible. It was pointed out dur- ing the discussion that Denmark and qyen New Zeaisnd were ursurp- ing the bacon market of Great Britain, while Ireland had preferen- tial advantages in the cattle mar- ket. The int. Hon. Arthur Meighm. on behalf of the Gove- ‘ said that the question under discussion would be drawn to the at- tention of the chairman of the committee in ehsrge of the Conference arrangements, which no doubt means that particular atten- tion will be given to the interests of sgriculturisfs at the forthoomlnl Conference. ‘ STRANGE AFTERMATH The seizure of bootlegged Prince Edward Island potatoes by United States Customs officials has had a strange aftermath, according to the Fredericton Gleaner, from whose editorial columns we quote the fol- lowing comment: "What strange situations the en- forcement of law, and of course previous evasion of that same law. produces! One of the latest forms of rackets, revealed in New York and vicinity, was the importation of high class and high priced Can- adian potatoes on which there is a considerable duty imposed by the U. S. Customs, and the substitu- tion of inferior native stock, the customs being cheated out of the import duty. "The lnw took its course. The seized spuds, 0334 bags of I50 pounds each and 6B8 bags of 00 pounds each, which had been found at Fort Newark, N. J., by sleuths of the U. S. Customs were ordered sold by the court.

E. N. Rholes had spoken on a bill. To this Mr. Rhodes retorted: “May I pay my respects to myhonorable friend from Melville (Mr. Motherweil), who, per- haps unwittingly, paid me a. very great compliment when he suggest- ed that I might reply to his argu- ment. Although my honorable friend treats the most serious sub- jects with levity, and sometimes in a most entertaining fashion, I know of ’no honorable gentlemen who asserts his views with greater vehe- mence. "In fact, when the honor- able member for Melville says a thing on his ipse dixit he rather leaves the impression with the House that the last word has been said. May I also say to my honor- able friend-and I do so not un- kindly-that he paid me a compli- ment when he said he was dis- appointed in the Minister of Fin- ance. “If my honorable friend had not been dtsappo‘ lied in me, I would have been disappointed in myself, because had it been other- wise I would have been afraid some- thing was wrong with my course of action. You can always count on my honorable friend from Melville to be against the Government." even Finnish Communists have been sentenced to penal servitude, after having admitted that they were directed and paid by the U.

Perhaps the convictions will arrest the Russ- ian movement there; at least it should be more difficult now to secure Finns to do destructive work for an unscrupulous foreign master. Strange indeed are the mascots to be found in a new department of the Imperial War Museum in Eng- land. A case contains about two score different things that were carried by soldiers as charms against ill luck. Loose buttons were a common mascot. Cavalrymen often pinned their faith on a horse's tooth. Lucky farthings found great favor with many. Men from Devonshire seemed to take kindly to small per- forated stones. Fuzzy black cats of wool, or pigs or bunnies or other things were frequently taken along. Some men liked to have a small bit of coal, others a fragment of shell. Many a Canadian carried a rifle cartridge and a piece of rawhide shoelace in his pocket when in or near the line. The purpose of this combination was not a mascot. In- stead, it was merely to be handy for a tourniquet in case an artery was severed by a. bullet or bit of shell.

This prison is at Peterhead, on the north east coast of Aberdeenshirc, and, according to this account, was bor might be built by convict labor. "The prison has accommodation for 300 convicts" says the Times- Journal. "The number of inmates has steadily decreased in recent years, and at present time there are only 130 residents-less than half capacity. There is only one ‘lifer’ in the community." Considering the fact that the population of Scotland is around five million, residents north of the Tweed can justly claim to be a law-abiding people with an exceptionally favorable record.

As a body they have arrived at the uODCIUBIOD that as the health of the teeth and 'gums h of such importance to the "general health of the body, that everybody should know this. and hence much suffer- ing, loss of time, and even death itself may be prevented. Further, as the public reads the different advertisements of the manufacturers of tooth paste, tooth powder, tooth brushes, pyorrhoea remedies, mouth washes and other remedies for the mouth, many may be frightened into the use of some particular article for the mouth and teeth while others may come to the conclusion that all this advertising is too extravagant in its language, and not worth their consideration. that the dental profession, as one single body representing all den- tists, came forward and instructed the teeth and gums, and tell the ex- act facts regarding the use of the various mouth necessities. . As the names of individual den- tists will not be used in these ad.- vertisements or the names of the various articles now so widely ad- vertised, every statement made in these advertisements written by the dental professionals should carry great weight in the minds of the readers. The Dental Association will thus keep the public informed on the care of their teeth, mouth hygiene, proper diet, and prevention of den- tal troubles. The main thought in the lines of prevention. Now this does not mean that the tooth pastes, tooth powders, and mouth washes, because every den- tist advises the use of these meth- ods of cleaning the teeth and pre- venting decay. What they have in mind is that the public should realize that the teeth should be thorougldy exam- ined, and the X ray used frequently to locate root troubles, and the dangers of neglect pointed out, by those best fitted to give this in- formation. U. S. Economizes (Ottawa Journal) Having provided for more than a bill, the United States has now launched a drive to cut its federal expense bill by hundreds of mil- lions of dollars. some months ago President Hoover declared himself against salary reductions for Gov- 'emment employes, but a steady de. lciine in revenues, with increased v prospects of a heavy deficit, has ev- ‘idently changed his mind. He has now come out for salary reductions for himself and his Cabinet, this undoubtedly being the forerunner of decreases for civil servnats, plus ‘consolidations of Govemment ,de"- Dartments and agencies with in- evitable reductions of staffs. In all, ‘it is hoped. to effect a saving of ,more than $300,000,000. I I It is an extraordinary thing, this lchange that has come over the United States.

All the pleas Plit forth on behalf of private control of radio in Canada, no matter how piauslbb presented nor how strongly backed by eminent figum in the world of finance, are in support of a systun which in its practical working out will make Canada a sibordinate annex of United States radio-land and give the final (if concealed) voice in the decision of how radio is to be operated in Canada to purely mmercial interests, Ameri- can in character. The day of the small detached and supposedly in- dependent radio station is about over in Canada. If the field is left to private enterprise, therewiil be rapid consolidation of these stations into a combination. We shall have a prlntelyowned monopoly of the air, and this monopoly will operate in harmony with the great radio monopoly of the United States-the harmony that always eidsts between the boa that gives orders and the dependent simordinslte who obeys them.

The ex- ample, they fear with reason, might prove oontagio . It is apparent that avery powerful lobby isat work at Ottawa in an attemptto dissuade the special committee, now considering the radio question, from giving its approval to the principle of public ownership embodied in the Alrd report.

New everything has mashed. Possessed of nearly one-half of the world's gold, the United States yet finds itself in the position where its foreign trade has fallen to noth- ing, with at least 0,000,000 of its people unemployed, with bread- lines in all of its cities, with its federal treasury empty, with large municipalities bankrupt, and with men actually talking of the depre- ciation of the dollar. There has been nothing like it in the history of the United States. Tho baffling thing about all of this is that nobody appears to have any clear or satisfying knowledge of its causes, of the things that brought it about, or of the things that may cure it. The great bank- ers, the economists. the giants of industry-ail are as much at sea as the man in the street, their theories and prognostications utter- ly discredited.

A Shakespeare Theatre Thos. T. Champion, of the Can- adian Press, writes from Stratford- oil-Avon, England, that the Eng- lish-speaking world will be repre- sented in that city on Saturday next, April 23, when the Prince of Wales declares open the new Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. Every ambassador and minister ac- credited to the Court of St. James has been invited, and the repre- sentative character of the gather- ing will be further appreciated when it is remembe cu there is hardly a country which has not provided subscribers for the fund to replace the old theatre by this modern structure. The Prince of Wales will occupy a Bqx at the back of the Dress Circle, and after the opening cere- mony will attend a performance of the first part of Henry the Fourth. April 23 is the anniversary not only of Shakespeare's birth in 1564 but of his death in 1618, so that the coming event is doubly notable. The theatre is described as prob- ably the best mechanism in the world today for transforming the printed pages of Shakespeare into action and speech. The auditorium is sp ‘ous, seating 1,000 people, with unobstructed view of the stage guaranteed. Experts have watched over it from the very be- ginning to deal in the most mod- ern way with the difficult problem of acoustics.

The stage at the new Memorial Theatre is a sliding one, so big that half of it is in ithe wings, on one side, while the other half is being used. During the action of a scene the offstage part is set for the next scene. Instantly the curtain falls, the whole stage is pushed on rollers to the other side, so that the off- stage part is then onstage. and scene shifters can ‘set w work dis- mantling and resetting the part that has just been used.
