As has been usual with, him in recent years. he was inter-I viewed and gave his views on a var- icty of subjects. including college edu- cation, happy life, etc. 1n his boyhood he had been denied the privilege of regular and contin- uous attendance at school and was under the necessity of earning his own living. I-le was fortunately both ambitious and precocious beyond oth- er boys of his time and he rapidly acquired a vast store of knowledge which he quickly turned to account in a practical way. Hence we flnd him now saying, "If a boy has ambition- he doesn't need to go to college." Before he was l2 years of age he found employment on a Grand Trunk train and learned telegraphy, and he at once began to study electric but- terles and instruments wherever he could find them. Quickly he begun to patent his inventions, all of which proved to be profitable, and with the proceeds he erected his famous lab- oratory at Newark, N. J., later remov- ed to Menlo Park. * More than 300 patents are recorded in his name, chiefly covering new de- vices and appliances for utilizing electricity. Among the more i11lp0‘.'i'Bl1l of these may be named the phcuo- graph, a telephone for long distcncry a system of duplex telegraphy (after- ward extended to quadruplex and sex- tuplex) the carbon telephone trans - mltter, the micrometer. the aeroplane. megaphone, the incandescent electric lamp, Vthe kinetlsiopex. the storage battery for street cars and automo- biles. These have spread throughout the civilized world. Now an old man and afflicted with deafness. he ls still busy in his great laboratory, his recent activities be- ing devoted to finding new raw ma.- terial from which rubber can be economically produced. A Benign Providence has been very kind to our city and province in many ways during the first half of the winter of 1929. We have abund- ant cause for thankfulness to the. Giver of all good gifts which it befits us to recall at the week end. Our land has been exempt from the win- ter storms and blizzards and the ex- treme cold. which has caused so much suffering in Europe, but we have had to take thought of the iri- creased mortality in many homes caused by the "flu." This affliction may best be turned to good account by the reflection that it has been 1n- tended for our lasting good. A great fault of the age in which we live is that 1t is bent on pleasures that are not elevating to the exclusion of what should tend toward self improvement. Everybody is busy amid ever-increa- sing distractions, so that the lives of the multitude are hurried beyond all precedent. Perhaps 1t‘may afford some consolation if we reflect how much greater this hurry and rush is even greater in other lands than it is here at home. V’ Favorable weather conditions have enabled the Car ‘Ferry to run 1n mid- winter for days almost as steadily as in summer. and this with her for- ward propeller, hitherto thought to be an absolutely necessary part of her now severed. What the new ferry steamer will be like is still up in the air so far as we can Ieam.

M-D- WHY THE COLD IS S0 COMMON. A short time ago I spoke about the oldest ailment known to mankind. rheumatism, and pointed out that it was still-a‘ great hindrance to health and happines". in the world. And this. despite the fact that we know now so much more about its cause —infection from teeth, tonsils, and so forth-and how to treat it. However, if you were asked what was ‘the commonest or most frequent ailment ycu would state at once, that it was the “common cold." ' You now know that there are as many colds in Califonia at certain seasons of the year as there are in Maine. and that investigation shmvs. that in an area of say a. width of fif- ty miles extending from Amino to California the number of individuals affected by colds would be practical- ly the some everywhere in proportion to number- of people. Now you don't have these colds during the warm bright weather. ex- cepl. of course the rose 2nd hay fever colds. but as soon as the indoor life begins thesc colds become common. Is it the cold weather itself that is responsible? No. the cool weather is really brac- ing and gives you a sense of well- being, but your habits of life change, and it is your own habits of life rather than. the cold weather. that cause the trouble. There are two things about your habits that change with the weather. One is that you are indoors more. and the room heated over 70 F.. so interferes with the protective organs in your nose and throat. thotwheh you breathe 1n the harmful organ- isms which are floating in the air your protective organisms are so weak that they do not destroy them. Thus they get their start and the common cold is established . A Second. as you begin to live more indoors you find that the cooler wea- ther has made you eat a little more than usual. and yet you do riot get outdoors as much to work or walk off this extra food. Thus you have more “wastes" in the body. These ‘extra wastes certainly inter- fere with the ability of the protective organisms of the body (including those in the nosei to fight off invad- ing organisms. I believe you can easily see the way to protect yourself against the common cold. Keep the temperature of your home at 68o or 70o R. and take enough exercise to work off the food you eat. All wastes must be removed if your fighting organisms are to do their work properly. THE POET'S CORNER NIGHT IN TIIE DESERT (Lord Dunsany in the "Atlantlc.")

(Copyright) CHAPTE R ONE AMERICA DEC IIJIRES WAR ‘The day has comm’, said President Wilson to Congress on_ April 2. 1917. when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the prin- ciples that gave her birtli and happi- ness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her she can do no other.’ With these words he launched the United States cn what he regarded as a crusade for a new international order; a steadfast con-- cert for peace’ that should guaran- tee the ‘rights, of nations great and small and the privilege of mcn cvcry- irhere to choose their ivay of lifetand oi obedience.’ With equal force he revealed his conviction that only through the overthrow of tho mili- tary master of Germany could the object be attained. ‘We are glad. now that we sec the facts with no veil of false pretense about them, to fight thus for the ultimate pence of ' the world and for the liberation oi its peoples.’ On the Western Front the carc- fully laid plans were continuing the Somme offensive were disturbed by a change in the Allied command, rc- sultlng in the defeat of General Ni- velle on the Chcmin dcs Dames in April. A crisis of war-wcarincss followed in France. For the remain- dcr of the year French armies, under- going a moral and material reorgan- ization under General Pctain, were unable to attempt any major offen- sive. In the East, the Russian re- volution cf lifarch led to the cruinb- Maritime Transport Executive. ‘and all theniuin European allies W918 in imminent danger of starvation... The opening success of the new cam- paign was staggering. In the first three months 4'10 ocean-going ships (including all classes of ships the totnl was 1000) had been sunk, in a single fortnight in April 122 ocean- going vessels were lost. The rate of the British loss in ocean-going ton- nagc during this fortnight was equi- valent to an average round voyage loss of 25 per cent-one out of ‘every four ships leaving the United King- dom for an overseas voyage was be- ing lost bclore its return. The con- tinuance of this rate of loss would have brought disaster upon the Al- lied campaigns, and might well have involved an unconditional surrender.‘ The Unofficial Official In this new war organization Col- cucl I-louse held no formal position and exercised no official functions. The President had offered with the deepest pleasure and alacrity’ to plucc him wherever he was willing to be placed. But House preferred al- ways to ovoid office. Because of his pcrscnal relations with Wilson and ‘at the Presidents desire he was none the less drawn into an unbroken ser- Iies of informal conferences, the gist of which ivlicn important was sent down to Washington, and when un- important shuntcd aside and pre- vented from confusing the already overburdened officials.

Behind the lines the sprlt of chaos penetrat- ed the economic life of Russia, at the same time that it attacked the army and navy. No longer could lino Allies count on help from the colossus of the East which had prov- ed of such avail in 1914 and 1916. The U-Bont Campaign While events on tho two main fighting fronts thus rescued Ger- many from the defeat that seemed to be impending after the Battle of the Somme, she launched the sub- marine ottack upon which her lczid- ers had gambled to achieve positive victory- At the time it was a gamble perhaps-but not a wild one.’ Great Britain had become the mainstay of the Entente; her troops must take up the ‘offersive during the period that Petain had tbispzpd in nursing his armies back to vigor; her munitions, her tonnage, her financial credit had becom critical factors in a war that would be decided by the side with most reserves. France had borne the brunt of the great German at- tacks of 1914 and 1916; 1t was now the turn of the British. Thus there was much to encourage the Germans in their hope that if the submarine could isolate England and destroy hcrrmorcantlla marine. they would end the war vlcloriously. And if the succgls of. the intensive submarine campaign after three months was lei-i than had been promlsed. it was sizfficcnt to bring the Brllsh and the ‘mutations s whole‘ into very real bu“ I ‘The whole war effort of the Aliles‘ Italy has banned me exhibition olnassoon threatened with disaster. writeutheohairmsn of the Allied l jwas rarely in the capital. he had daily conversation with members of the Government and the President, for a private telephone ran directly from his study to the ‘State Depart- ment.

The papers of Colonel House record n. kaleidoscope of personal contacts. To his small study on Fifty-Third Street came all sorts and conditions. Itvwas there that he discussed, with Padcrewskl the plans for the forma- tion of a Polish army. the raising of funds for Polish relief, the political character of Poland that was to be revived by the future Peace Confer- ence. and its boundaries.

Dear Govérnor: General Gocthals took lunch with me oday. He is very much disturb- ed over the delay 1n getting the ship- building programme started. He is already two weeks behind what he had counted on. This means a loss of 200.000 tons-if, indeed. the build- _ ing of tons can be speeded up with- in six months to 400.000 tors a month as he hopes... Goethals. at my request, made the enclosed memorandum to show what in his opinion is immediately needful. Ife he can know by tomorrow or Tuesday 1f you favor these propo- sals he can make a start at once. The tonnage required cannot be built wholly of timber because. in the first place, there is not enough like Herbert ‘_ Penslar (Palatable. 15' Tasteless) Cod Liver Extract An excellent tonlo for chm. ren and and Persons, contun. lug all the virtues and none or the disagreeable properties or Cod Liver 0|].
