KING'S “POLICX” ' Notwithstanding all that has been done by the Bennett Government in the way of unemployment relief con- tributions to every Province in the Dominion, the Liberal organ says "there has never been any definite policy on relief and unemployment such as has been urged by the Lib- eral leader Rt. Hon, Mackenzie King for the past four years." Mr. Mackenzie King's attitude on unemployment relief is to be judged, not by what he urged in Opposition, but by what he said as Prime Minis- .ter of Canada when confronted with the same problem before going out of office in 1930. On that occasion :froin his seat in the House 0f Com- rnons, he read five of the Provinces of Canada out of Coniedcrcfion with his declaration, first that he would not give "a single cent", and later "not five cents“ of Federal revenue to aid any Province in which a Con- servative government wz=~ in power. For days public leaders i‘ "oughout the Dominion, Liberal as well as Conservative, refused to believe Mr. King had laid down such a policy, more particularly because he was dealing with the hunger-stricken victims of unemployment when he announced it. But his statement, as reported by the Canadian “ress, was amply confirmed by the Hiinsard re- port of April 3, which stands to his everlasting discredit, and which. if poor fun to laugh at people who do even if it t; against themselves.

A Western exchange has been inquiring into this question, and finds among other things Canad- ians consume much more pork than beef. The per capita consump- tion of pork in 1933 was '14 l-2 pounds which incidentally was eleven pounds less than in 1932 Consumption of beef was 56 pounds and mutton and. lamb a little over six pounds. There is more chicken used than lamb, the per caplta consumption in 1933 being over 7 i-2 pounds, turkey 1 3-4. duck, less than half a pound and goose less than one pound. The consump- vary much, a. little over pounds to each person in the last‘ few years and almost 3 1-2 pounds of cheese. But the consumption of eggs has been declining a. little each year for some time. In 1930 the per capita was almost 25 dozen in 1931 slightly over 24 3-4 dozen. tlon of butter and cheese does not] thirty .

For whom are we making the shining instrument of death? After the revolution in Russia, the Soviet decreed that young Russia must. disregard everything but that which related to Russia and the Soviet program. Whatever was said about the rest of the world was designed to convey the impression that it had made a. mess of things and was no example to an up and coming civilization. Its history, its religion, its whole life was merely a. warning of what would befall if Russia did not remain true to the doctrines of bolshevism. But Rus- sia. is now getting out into the world again. The Soviet has never hesitated to change its policy and has no regard for precedents. Now Stalin has decreed that the sea- ondary schools must in some meas- ure adopt the standards and meth- ods of the rest of the world. A new era. begins.

And yet there are let- ter writers who derive from this recreation other pleasure than that from seeing their thoughts and names in print.

The worst thing about paternal- ism is that it weakens or destroys the spirit of individual self-re- liance. When the government grants a business man special favors, it may make him richer but it does not make him a bet;er business man or better citizen. When the government gives a man a dole. either directly or by providing use- less work for him, it may help him over a desperately hard place. and that sometimes is necessary, but it runs the grave risk of undermining his character. The benefaction should not be continued a day after the occasion insistently calls for it.

WHY NOISE TIRES YOU Anyone who has lived for my time in Exit-ope can understand why so many homes have a "courtyard" in which flowers or vegetables are‘ grown. It may have been mostl for protection in former days but it must have been also for "quietness"; to get away from the clash and clat- ter of horses‘ feet and the iron tires on the wheels of waggons and carts. To-day when we g0 to any hotel we ask for an inside room, a. room opening upon the “quadrangle", to get quietness. Dr. G. W. C. Kaye in the Annual’ Report, Smithsonian Institute, says, “the protective shieldings by build-: ings is well illustrated by the sylvan or woods like quietness of inclosed triangles. The bedrooms opening on a hotel courtyard are usually much quieter than a room on the outside of a building ;that is if you can get far enough from the kitchen noises. Does noise really affect health or our ability to work? “As regards the effects of noise on human beings, there would appear to be a volume of medical testimony that the strain of heavy traffic and other types of continuous din may act as a powerful irritant to the ner- vous system; placid and normally unruffled persons tending to become irritable and “worn out." Indus- tries such as shipbuilding, boiler- mnking, cotton weaving, and print- ing are, it is stated, prone to cause an accumulation of fatigue products in the system with dizziness, head- aches, poor hearing, and general ex- haustion." Noise is now admittedly so harm- ful that it affects the ability of men and women to work properly, lessen- ing their value to their employers and so noise is said to be "on the payroll." In law noise may be defined as an excessive, offensive, persistent or startling sound. However you and I know that even common noises must be affecting us because when they stop we find our- selves relaxing our bodies and minds showing that we have been uncon- sclously tensing or bracing ourselves against the noise. And as you know tensing our muscles brings on tired- ness just the same as if we were using them for work or exercise. To prevent or lessen noise requires co-operation from all sources; machines to be made less noisy, automobiles and trucks to be better cared for, and insulating materials used in the building of factories, of- fices and homes. THE GARDEN PATH To the garden path I came at the deepening of the dusk, When the new moon hid its flame in a half-diaphanous husk Of cloud, and the scent of the rose was heavy with nard or musk. The fireflies prickcd the gloom where the meadow vapors rolled; 'I‘he cup of the primrose-bloom was brimmecl with a pallid gold; And above a. single star shone virgin and faint and cold. I caught the breath of the dews soothing and strangely sweet: And what subtle clew of clews I know not led my feet Down the garden path to the end and you on the garden-seat!

Kuusik, the Estonian consul general. is planning to induce the United States to drink all Estonia's surplus potatoes. says the New York World ‘Iielegram. “Estonia produced 750.000 tons of potatoes last year.” says Mr. Kuusik. "Of this productions 250.000 ton was converted into alcohol. The alcohol was converted ‘nto vod- karappipximately 2,500,000 gal- lons of vodka. This seems to indicate that the manufacture of one gallon of vodka requires 200 pounds of po- tatoes. "The yield of potatoes in Bionic. is so bountiful that the government can afford to sell in Tallinn a quart of potato alcohol, wh'ch will yield two quarts of vodka. for 8 cents. This represents the alcohol of 125 pounds of potatoes." “Estonian vodka ‘s famous throughout Europe. Before the war. when we were part of the Rusian Empire. we furnished most of the vodka of Russia.

Mr. Blake gazed at Sir John with admiration and remarked, ‘Well, I will remember that one at any rate.‘ " The story went that a few days later Mr . Blake had his op- portunity. It was a dull day, with grey skies and all the portents of a downfall of the "beautiful." Strid- ing along as usual up the walk to the Buildings, Mr. Blake overtook One of his own followers, a timid little backbencher, who ventured to give him greeting. "How are you today. Mr. Blake?" he enquired. "Oh. as usual, Smith." And then Mr. Smith remarks. "It looks as if we are going to have a little snow." At once Mr. Blake was reminded ‘Li, drink it off like soda. pop of the lesson which Sir John had given_him. Now what was that joke? Ah, he remembered. andi, promptly replied to his follower. “Oh, yes, but it's quite immaterial." Pleased with himself, Mr. Blake continued to his quarters in the Parliament Buildings. The news UII this got around and when sir John‘ had finished telling me about it hel chuckled mightily. As a matter ofl fact, I believe to this day the latter supposed incident was an invention of the Old: Man's, but no matter; it is too 300d to withhold. Hotter Stars (Eixichlmqe) How hot are the stars? Scientists thought Niey knew. Now experim- ents at the Royal Observatory. Greenwich. have shown that the stars may be many thousands of degrees hotter than has hitherto been calculated. The surface temperature of stars is measured by the quantity of light they em't. This quantity is calcu- lalted by comparison with a "color stander " which in the past has been astandard artificial star of temperature-usually a special electric lamp. Now Greenwich scientists have proved that there is n considerable difference between results given by flhfllyzlng light tiuough a telescope I-ndbv analyzing it by ordinary laboratory methods. They have dis- covered this discrepancy by ob- serving an acetylene flare through the sazne telescope that l5 used {m- observing stars.
