Taking it alto- amared the 8,925 citizcns of Eliza-i gether the general prosperity was beth City the other day by strolling down to work in nyiamas and silo- pers and continuing to ilvear these he-man garments in public for two weeks. It is not, recorded that he attended any bridge parties or folk dances in his niglities during this time, but the fact that he had the intestinal stamina to walk abroad in pyjamas in glaring daylight is suf- ficient evidence that heroes are still being bred in the land of the free and the homo of the brave. This eccentric gentleman-villi), by the way, bears the family name of our distinguished provincial Premier- has written a defense of his conduct for the United Press. He suggests that his fellow citizens should give pyjamas e. modest tryl-out. "If they‘ are not quite enthusiastic enough to wear them openly," he argues per- suasively, "let them slip into their pyjamas these hot summer evenings and go for a motor ride; dare to sit on their porches in Pyjamas; organ- ize pyjama parties!" Being a gregarious animal and friendly toward the herd, Publisher Saunders hesitated at first to dis- card his palm beaches and tropic- a.l worstcds; but after making the plunge he found pyjamas the ideal _ summer wear, although he admits he was unable to procure a suit exactly to his liking. He is now flirting with the idea of creating a design of his - own. Had he anticipated the-na- tlon-wide interest that was aroused by his casual appearance on the main‘ street of his home town clad in this outfit, he would, he says, have providedhimseif with better fitting and more colorful pyjamas. They were, however, the only ones he had, and he felt, rightly enough, that the id-ea rather than the design was the important thing. We have had pyjama parades in Charlottetown, but it is one thing to march by torchlight and quite an- other to step out all alone in bou- doir regalia, under the eyes of a scendalized community. Then there would be that uncertain factor the Law. What would Chief Blrtwistle say? Would he raise an immaculate white-gloved hand, halt the innovat- or in his tracks, and signal for the "wagon?" 'I‘ruly it would require an- less in 1928 than in the previous year, the low price of potatoes being largely responsible: but there is a spirit of optimism abroad which will overcome this set-back. Crop rotations, yields. live stock. seed and live stock sales, and the beautification of the home surround- ings, are all treated of in this pamph- let, which should be in the hands of every progressive farmer. ROMANTIC MR. KING l The idea of the staid and portly Mr. MacKenzie King tripping fan- tastically through the corridors of an old English castle in search of the ghost of a vanished Queen is surely one that would never enter the heads of his most eccentric ad- mirers. Yet, according to a writer in John O‘London's Weekly, the Prime Minister of Canada cherishes a. doc- ument, from Sir James Barrie in which this romantic episode is not only chronicled as a. fact, but which ends,’ as such tales should end, redolent of the happiness that comes with the peace of two kindred‘ spirits joined in felicity. It seems that Mr. King and the noted Scot- tish author once found themselves week-end guests together at I-faver Castle, the home of Major Astor, owner of the London Times-a resi- dence which in long by-gone days was the home of the. unhappy Queen Anne Boleyn, second» wife of Henry VIII. Here was a situation to the taste of the whimsical Sir JamesfFinding an unhappy Queen and an unmar- ried King together in an ancient cas- tle provided a contingency he could not resist moulding to his fantasy; and so he wove the romance into a long epistle which is now the treas- ured property of Canada's Prime Minster, and which Mr. King has bound in blue leather and is preserv- ing for posterity. Who of his political opponents would ever have accused Mr. King of playing up to the fantastical imagin- ation of the creator of Peter Pan? ‘Tis said the Prime Minister vied with Barrie in entering with swain- ish ecstasy into the capture of the spirit of the fair Anne Boleyni Doubtless, in the pursuit of this other Daniel to make the attempt; and we know some newspaper men who have no intention of trying it. OUR ILLUSTRATION STATIONS ’ There are twelve Illustration Sta- tions in this province, according to the Chief Supervisor for the Domin- ion, who has just published his re- port for 1928. They are locawd at Palmer Road, Glenwood, West Dev- on, Richmond, New London, Rose Valley, Rustico, St. Peters, Red Point.

An alleged good authority has es- timated the Prairie wheat crop of this year at 150,000,000 bushels. Wheat threshing began in the west last Friday, at which date a press despatch stated "the sun-baked prai- ries were still in the grip of a ruin- ous drought.” The I'm Alone case is to be refer: red to arbitration, the Ottawa and Washington authorities being un- able to agree. Canada's contention is that the sinking of the Canadian vessel by the U. S. Coast Guard was without warrant of international law or treaty rights. The U. S. con- tention is that the sinking was en- tirely justifiable. Rum-runnirlg across border waters from Ontario to the States is almost entirely the work of U. S. citizens, using American boats and vessels, according to W. D. Euler, Minister of National Revenue. ,He also states that U. S. records show that not 2 per cent of the liquor smuggled into the States comes from Canada. Canada has to fight the liquor smuggler from many countries, Euro- pean, West Indies, Miquelon, for in- stance, Mr. Euler says, and it costs the Dominion a million dollars a year to do it. All countries producing wines or liquors, issue official cus- toms clearances to liquor-laden vessels bound for any port in the world. Why should Uncle Sam single out Canada. as the only wicked wrcngdoer in this matter of clear- ances? Raymond Poincare retired Prime Minister of France during three years past has had e. long and distinguish- ed career as a. statesman, during which he has filled a number of the highest positions within the gift o! his fellow countrymen. He was elect- ed President of the Republic of France in 1013 for a tenn of seven years, which covered the War per- iod. Worldwide regret is called forth by his enforced retirement through serious illness, following a surgical operation. He was not in years an old mamjhaving had his birth in August i860. Aristide Briand, who succeeds him as leader of the Gov- ernment, is also a distinguished statesman of France who had before been Premier. The latest census of Northern Ire- land commonly spoken of as Ulster shows a. total population of 1,256,- 561. There is a majority of the gent- ler sex as compared with the men folk.

GENERAL use or 101mm The controversy continues to W080 as to the right of a. health officer to put iodine 1n the drinking water in a district where there are many goitre cases. Thegeneral use of iodized salt is also criticized. The question is naturally asked “why should all the people in a dis- trict be forced to use iodine when so many of them do not need it, because too much iodine can be harmful to the system?" However there can be no question but that in districts where goitrc is prevalent the use of iodine in the water has been of untold benefit. In one district in Switzerland, where careful records are kept, the full report to hand since 1922 1s an object lesson to the world. Before 1922, 50 per cent of the children born at a lying in hospital had goitre; after that year all child- ren born were without goitre as the mothers had consumed the iodizcd salt. The number of thyroid operations had been reduced by '15 per cent. Even the children in the [lower classes of schools became practically free of goltre. In Vienna, Austria, there has been a reduction of the number of cases amongst the very young school children. Iodine injury, due to the use of iodine in the salt, has been very rare less than one case in one hundred thousand consumers. Research men now feel that the introduction of iodine in the water or salt in general use in a. district, is justified in only those regions where the goitre cases are severe; that is where there is deafness and dumb- ness, and a large number of these unfortunate individuals .who are orc- tins-that is deficient mentally and physically due to lack of thyroid development. - It would seem that in such regions the soil is so lacking in iodine that Everybody in the district should have some iodine added to their diet. In such districts it has been cus- Wmflfy to supply this lodized salt as the same pricejs the ordinary salt, the Sim making up the diflerence ih the cost to the people. I have seen her in the quiet of the evening in the fields, I have sensed her in the dusk-time that the star-decked prairie yields; She has poised on purple mountains when my lonely step drew near, When the North's green fires at mid- night were her altar-lights austere.

Where the dark heroic headlands stand the wintry ocean's roar,‘ The Bird Sanctuaries Of The St. Lawrence (Natural Resource!» Cllllill) ' Thousands of sea-birds-sennets. cider ducks, puffins, corrnoranls. terns. and many other? ‘ “ and screaming or covering the nest- ing ledges like banks of snow, is the scene which presents itself to the visitor to the bird sanctuaries of the gulf of St. Lawrence. Since the cari- iest. times the Bird Rocks of the Magdalen Islands, Perce Rock, and Bonaventure Island of the Guile coast and the islands alonk "i8 north shore of the gulf have 116E“ the breeding grounds for countless numbers of sea-birds, and the protec- tion their bird lnl-labitants have rc- celved because of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, has resulted in greatly increasing their numbers. Each year the sanctuaries are visit- ed by a. migratory bird officer from the Department of the Interior and careful note is made of the increase among the birds under protection. The fame or the bird sanctuaries of the St. Lawrence, which number ihirteen, has spread and growing throngs of tourists make the trip by rail or steamer each year. The Gaspe Coast rookerles were Set Bide in 1919 and those along the northern shore of the gulf were established in i925. Ail are under the joint control of the Dominion Government and the Quebec Srovinclal authorities. The bird sanctuaries off the Gaspe coast, which are reached with ease by rail to the quaint little town of Perce, are better known than those of the north shore and consequenly the thrilling picture of the great throngs of gannets which inhabit the Bird Rocks, Perce Rock,- and Bona- venture Island are known to many. Nevertheless even those who have rowed about these islands daily for years can never behold the scene without a thrill of emotion. In ad- ditlon to the attraction of the sanc= tuaries, the Gaspe coast offers beauti- ful shore and forest scenery, bathing. fishing, and boating, and in the holi- day season the accommodation of the modern summer hotels and boarding houses of the locality is taxed with the hundreds of visitors. - Although the nearest of the north shore sanctuaries is situated about 400 miles east of-the city of Quebec, they can be reached with compar- ative ease. as well appointed steam- ers wlth frequent sailings, serve that region during the summer months! The chief bird inhabitants of the north shore preserves are pufflns, razor-billed auks, elder duckshsilllfi and terns. The inspiring spectacle at the sanctuaries is not the only en- joyment to be gained from a triP to the gulf of St. Lawrence. The steamer voyage to the north shore ‘ sanctuaries is in itself a. delight. Sailings are made from Quebec and the stops at the little settlements are highlights of the trip. Here is a thriving new town, with a modern pier and electric light system, the centre of extensive pulpwood opera»- tions of the most up-to-date kind. Them, is a sleepy little fishing ham- let, where passengers,_ mail, and freight are transferred between ship gm; more by a small rowboat. Next a stop is made st a. fur trading post with its picturesque Indians. and then at a thriving village of 1,100 souls. the largest community in the 400,000 square miles of the Labrador peninsula, and a. bishop's seat. The scenery along the route is en- chanting. Delightful little islands in intricate arrangement; ancient hills of m: granite, not wholly hidden by the soft greens and grays of the vegetation; spouting whales; whirl- ing clouds of sea-birds; and mums of unusual glory; each adding in mm go the attractiveness and charm of the surroundings. _Phe Public Forum of questions of intercit- The Charlottetown Gusrdiln does not necesurli endorse the . d . . STOP SIGNS Sin-In the report of the meeting of our City Fathers of Monday, July 29th, I was surprised indeed to reed that certain of the Councillors took exception to the placing of STOP signs on Brighton Road. and I was glad to see Councillor Holman stick by what he had done, end sincerely trust that he will continue to do so in the interests of humanity, and the safety in general of the citizens of Charlottetown. In doing so he will have the backing of many o; the residents of Brighton Road and dis- trict who are desirous of observing the law, and would like to see others do so as well. It is poor policy in my judgment for those who are custodians of our law to publish or broadcast the fact that the laws are not being observed. Rather should they sec to it. that they are observed, and set the example of strict observance on their part. His Worship has not erred in do- ing what he has done. Let him keep up the good work, and see to it that all observe the regulations. Chief Birtwhistle and hLs men are doing their best, and the rlkiultsco far have been splendid, and in my judg- ment it is the duty of every citizen to back them to the limit, in their eUort to control and direct traffic in a safe and sane manner. I would like to add that North River Corner at Brighton should pos- itively be made a stop street. It is most dangerous-especially H8 h!" the people driving cars, ignore what is called Right of Way. and this applies to Weymouth at. Eilston, de- spite opinions to the contrary. The markings will hurt no one, and per- haps do considerable good in show- ing some the way to go borne after debating the pro and con of the ben- efit of Stop Signs. I am. Sir, etc., A RESIDENT 0F ‘BRIGHTON AS OTHERS SEE US (The Canadian Disciple, In Ill article on the 4th Biennial Conferences o! Canadian Churches of Christ l! Charlottetown 1929.) Charlottetown, a city of about l2,l_'i00 lies southerly and easterly on the Island, famous for potatoes and fox- es; its wide streets, shaded with trees of indeterminate flge, well pav- ed and modern in every way, reflect in a rather subdued manner, the ch- croaches of modern life, trade and activities upon an orderly, leisurely and somewhat isolated community. That community has had govcm- mental privileges and the amenities of civilization for so many decades in that isolated situation that a. dis- tinct-not to say insular-type has been developed that is extremely human and fascinating in its loyalt- ies. The writer discovered a color sketch (dated 1040) of the city in which the present legislative build- ing was then the centre, as it is now. of the activities of the-community, though one may believe that its pre- sent coating of ageing stone may have been added later to that date. Fromi the surrounding little park radiate the principle streets-all roy- al in their names-of Great, George, Prince, Queen, and King. ‘Ihere is the postoffice, the Customs, the an- cient market, snd a new library up- rising to crown with literature the group of buildings where forefathers of Confederation met in ptember, THE LAND WE LOVE n; main LIIGB She sits thinking of the who will come to port no more. 0 On the red earth of the vinclands, through the orchards in the 5914118. 571's smiles and feels with hear-g m4 hand her beauties “ ‘ inf.
