SATURDAY, NOVEMBER l2, 1932 OBSERVING THE DAY Speech, wrote Carlyle, is silvern; but. silence is golden. 1t is the gold- en two minutes of silence as the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of each year comes around that gives to Remem- brance Day its unique character. In yesterday's impressive services at the war monument here and in Summerside and other centres of the Province this feature was prop- Iiy accentuated, while the re- maining parts of the ceremonies were conducted with fitting rever- ence and dignity. Two new features of Remem- brzmce Day observance this year in Charlottetown a.re deserving of note. These were the church ‘serv- ices yesterday morning and the short addresses given on Thursday by members of the Canadian Le- giun to the pupils of each of the city schools, It is W011 that the re- ligious significance of the day be emphasized by church organiza- tiOHB; well also that the boys and girls in our schools, to whom the Great War -is not even a. memory, should be imbued with the full meaning of the sacrifice it involv- ed and the destruction and mis- ery it brought in its wake. The day preceding Remembrance Day is an opportune time to give this in- struction, and it comes with added emphasis from men who them- selves have experienced hardships at the Front. ‘iCELESTlAL FIREWORKS Astronomers are in hopeful ex- pcctation of observing a more than usually spectacular display of cel- estial firetvorks between now and next Thursday. Predictions vary as to date, but according to Prof. D. C. Wylie, astronomer of the University of Iowa, the maximum ‘period of the great thrice-a-cen- ‘tury return of the Leonid meteors, ‘or shooting stars, should occur in the early morning hours of Nov. i216 or 17, and occasional daylight meteors should be visible, especial- ‘ly on the forenoon of November 18. Whether the Leonids will come (‘hack astronomers say they do not fimow, but Dr. Wylie cites evidence, accumulating since 1930, that once Lmore they are on their way. The jLeonids are a stream so vast that dt takes them several years to pass lithe point in the space where the earth intersects their orbit each ‘November. The "advance guard" of hhcse meteors was seen in 1930: ilast year the count reached three per minute. The years 1932 and I933 are believed to be the most ‘favorable for this return. Hence ‘the enthusiasm aflng the astron- OIIIOFS. Interesting reference to the Leo- nids is made by "Agricola" in his notes in todnyk Guardian. Supple- menting this reference the follow- lng information, gleaned from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, may bc helpful to our readers: Space, actually, is infested by a multitude of meteors. On a clear moonless night one may count sev- erul of these "shooting stars" in an hour. The best time to observe them is in the early morning hours during the inst half of the year. It is computed that twenty millions of meteors enter the atmosphere cvcry day and would be visible to the naked eye in the absence of sunlight, moonlight and clouds, while if telescopic meteors are in- eluded the number would be in- creased twentyfold. Meteors arc presumably cold and invisible when they enter the earth's irmosphe =, and become heated and visible during their passage through the air. They look larger than they are, from the glare and flaming ef- fect of their momentary combus- tion. The finer meteors on entering or, at most, a few thousand pounds, whilst the smallest shooting stars visible to the eye may probably be equal in size to coarse grains of sand and still be large enough to evolve all the light presented by them. Meteorites are meteors, or extra- planetary bodies, which happen to fail to the earth. One of the most famous of meteorites fell in Phry- gia in ancient times and was wor- shipped there for many genera.- tions under the name of Cybele, the mother of the gods. It is described ary craftsmanship the“ Wofke l" deserving of careful study.

V The area of the earth's surface occupied by towns and villagesbe- ing comparatively small, the prob- ability of a shower of meteors fall- ing within a town is minute; the likelihood of a human creature being struck is still more remote.

Thirty-two names have been proposed for the award, including those of Upton Sinclair, American novelist; Richard Aiding- ton, British poet, and H. G. Wells, British writer. The committee's choice is a deserved tribute to a man of outstanding importance in con- temporary literature. Galsworthys great achievement is the ser- ies of novels included in "The Forsyte Saga." and “A Modern Comedy," novels which give a re- markable detailed picture oi upper mddle-class society in Etigland dur- lng the later Victorian and Edward. ian eras down to the post-War pet- iod. The series is publshed in two omnibus volumes under the titles above quoted, and is available in this form in the Public Library. These books are, in every sense of would be sufllcient, in themselves, to establish the reputation of any writer, but Mr. Galsworthy has produced numerous other novels and short giAJIlC-il, as wcll as essays on current social and moral ques- tions and a series of successful single volume form and are in the Public Library here.

NOT ALARMING News reports indicate that Com- munist agitators are at the bottom of the recent street disturbances in Iiondon and if this is the case no- body need be surprised. But it would be sururisins. says the Ottawa Journal, if any considerable number even of London's unemployed were to fall seriously for Soviet propa- ganda.

These show conclusively, since there is a marked decline of crime amongst men between 40 and 60 years of age, the common inclination to blame modern’ lawlessness on army experience is utterly baseless.- Mos‘. crime is done by people between 21 and so; who obviously suffered through the war conditions at home during their infancy. wo- men, it is curious to note, now play a predominant part in crimes of violence. A d. with the car bandits and forgets, as well as with the biuklars, are usually slightly younger women, who lend tnem valuable assistance in many ways.

Chancellor Franz von Papen of Germany makes it clear that his Government is not interested in the subject of restoring the Hohen- mllerm to power. The Administra- tion, the Chancellor explains, has more important, more pressing. problems on its hands. The Ger- man people alone, he declares, are competent to determine the form of government they want; no one abroad is qualified to decide the point. In other words. the chancel- lor is serving notice that Germany will do exactly as she pleases, eith- er retaining the republic or golliB back to a monarchy, as the occas- ion demands. One of these days. unless‘ all signs fail, Germany will retum to the monarcliical form of government. The German people, it‘, seems, are not iempelamentally adapted to a republic type of ad- ministration.

In some way they have got together a sup- ply of old airplane bombs. They are using the explosives to try and blow up bridges and do other da- mage. Just how the tribesmen got the bombs is a mystery, but they are enjoying their new sport of da- maging things. It is especially pleasing to them to have ammuni- tion that makes a tremendous noise. Just to make sure the offi- cials in the fronts-r provinces will be properly impressed, the tribal leaders have sent word that they have many more bombs which they intend to use in their own peculiar manner. It all adds to the rather uncertain business of trying to give India law, order and good go- vernment. ' Th; Christian Science Monitor takes this view of the recent Im- perial Conference: “Looking at the matter from the British point of view, the change so far as the Mo- ther Country is ooncemed has been from free trade to moderate protec- t'on: so far as the Dsminions, In- dia and the colonies are concerned, the change, on balance, appear-s t1 be slightly in the direction of rc- ducczl restrictions.

I refer to the social service work- What really is her work? when a patient is admitted she learns all possible about the nature of the ailment, and how long the patient is likely to remain in the hospital. She than visits the home and learns all she can about the patient, about how he behaved and how he was taken care ofwhlle at home. She interviews the wife, the husband, or the other children of the home. She thus gets the full knowledge, the complete back- ground of the home. She does what she can to help or correct any un- favorable conditions. With this knowledge she is able to of rest the colony is to have ideals. It is to be a. socialist state where the colonists can live according to ‘ the “laws of nature." And when they get together and try to decide what are the “laws of nature" they may find that no two ideas on that the illusion theyvwould like to get away somewhere for a while. Usu- ally a vacation fixes it. And prob- ably when the communal colonists have had a. long and satisfactory rest the feeling of tiredness will de- part and they will be eager for an- other bout with the world. That is, all except those born tired Or the “timed souls" who shrink from con- tact with the cruel, harsh world. But in addition to being a haven return to the hospital and give what assurance or comfort possible to the patient so that there will be no unnecessary worry on the part of the patient. She then explains to the hospital authorities the condition of affairs in the home, and the physicians or surgeons thus know whether the patient should be returned to the home as soon as possible, should be kept in hospital a greater length of time, or should be sent to another institution for a further stay, rather than return to the home. In other words, as Helen K. Hill says, “the real work of the social worker is that of an interpreter, for she interprets or explains the work- ings of the hospital to the patient, explains the home life or back- ground of the patient to the hos- pital physician, and explains or tells the family of the patient all about the patient, all about his ill- ness, and chances for health or life ‘itself while in the hospital. So think of the social worker as the necessary interpreter for the patient, family, and hospital. Another Utopia In Sight (Saskatoon Star-Phoenix) So the Canadian Young People's (Jo-operative society of Alberta and Saskatchewan is going to found a colony on Vancouver Island where they can live "according to the laws of natuse" and as a "haven for men tired in spirit and body who seek relief from the strain and stress of the capitalistic system." This young people's co-operativo is not as Widely known as its elder brothers nor has it until the present made itself as conspicuous as some of the other "advanced" organizations in this part of the world. However, there it is and the members "tired in spirit and body" are going to make for themselves a haven, There is, of course, nothing new in the idea. It has been tried thou- sands of times and in every known part of the world, The continuous quest of a Utopia is merely an ex. pression of dissatisfaction. Usually they are founded on high ideals, Sometimes otherwise. And occas- ionally they flourish for a time and then disappear. About the only ones which have continued with any degree of permanence are those which have been built around some particular religious idea. This one seems to arise out of the desire for rest of spirit and body, It; is a haven for those tired with the strain and stress of competition, Everyone knows lots of always-tired people.

All that was said in the casual and forznal conversations of the five- waek Conference will never be blown. but it is not without reason that a subject of such general Em- pire importance, and particularly to the two southern Dominions, was introduced at some of the stages. The nature of this Conference, however, precluded action on the subject of defense. An effort was made to introduce it at the 1980 Conference, which was more ken- era-l in character. The Chiefs of Staff of the three services in the United Kingdom met with fellfe- seutatives of the services in the Domlnions and India and reviewed such matters as the supply of war materials and the oo-onfnat-lon o! defensive arrangements.
