K. Olrrh ' m“ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19. 192s - past. tales of heroism have come ‘which sustain our hopes for hum- anity. ‘ The well-known traditions of the sea were maintained; slflPB stood by until the last vestlge of hope for rescuing human lives had to be abandoned! and it was due. to this ‘heroism on the part oi sailors mg 03091-3, many of whose names are unknown to fame. that so many lives were rescued. Qf the many that figured in this heroism two names‘ stand ‘out pro- minently, those of a little Barbado- es negro, Lionel Licorice, a quarter- master on the Vestris who ‘saved twenty lives by,his own efforts. and a young Irish boy, OjLoughlin, who stood by his radio i. instrument. flashing-out signals which brought scores of ships to the rescue. O‘Loughlin‘s last message was: "Good-bye"; and he was one of the last to jump overboard. He per- ished, but his act of ‘heroism will be added to the traditions of the mer- cantile marine to inspire others al- ong the path of duty. s ,ss T0 NAVIES. / ._.... 2 PRESIDENT vcoounca _in _his recent Armistice speech has thrown o. bombshell into the inter- niitionalpond. To put it mildly, his advice to Europe and particularlyto Great Britain, and his inslnuation that. Great Bfltlllzl was not playing thc game, was indtscreet and- ill- aiivised. _ Out ‘of “such speeches, as these have arisen international dif; fcrences and even wars, He was misinformed as to the relative sizes of the British and Smerlcan navies. His statement that the United States would have 40 cruisers as compared with Britain's ‘68, when the present legislation is carried out. is not in accordance with _the facts.‘ Including.’ only ‘the ships completed or‘ under ‘construction. Britain has58 cruisers with a dis- placement of 360,000 tons. while the United States haspali cruisers with a displacement- of 334,000 tons. With the addition of l5 more 10,000- ion cruisers to the United States flcet, the American total tonnage would amount to 484.000 tolls, while if all the five British cruisers now projected are laid down, theBritlsh tonnage would stilliah short by 400.000 tons, allowing for‘ more ships ‘due to _be scrapped. i The difference between President, Coolidge’s figures oi 68 cruisers for Britain and the real total of 5B is made up of five obsolete cruisers which are being scrapped and five cruisers which are merely projected and for which no money has yet been voted. . ‘» -—@-q-?t-—--—- EDITORIAL“ NQTES. \ , If the relations _of the new Amer- ican administration toiCansda are to be ‘cordial, says the Vancouver Sun (Liberal), Mr, Hoover -will need . , . ‘Mn Hoover will need to make sev- eral “good-wili" Journeys if Presi- dent Coolidge persists in misrdpre- senting the aims of friendly nat- ions. ‘ l ‘ I v9 all his internationalism w restrain the high-tariff CTBZQ of'hia party. soi- Canada has some w the posi- tionvwhere, if she cannot, obtain a i-‘ocipiooity of trade with finiiod States. she must have areciprocity of tariff. , An interating experiment is be- ing made in British Columbia, The Jobof “stool pigeons," or what was more suphoniously termed "secret service operatives." is gone in that Province under the new regime.

They set out. on what had been declared to be an impossible Journey. ion 26th‘ March last and arrived at Algiers on April 12th, the actual distance traversedbeing 2,718 miles. There were miles in which the "car sank to the axle in. soft sand and pro- gress could only be made by laying down corrugated ironvisheets on which they could move forward only four feet. Then the supporting sheets had to‘ be removed from be- hind the cal" to the front. “It was stop, scratch sand,‘ replace sheets, againlforward four feet." With the ,heat at 125 degrees in the shade, water giving out and such slow pro- gress being made. the Journey was one incredible discouragement and hardship. ' I of the Sahara desert are lower than sea level and eminent engineers arc planning a canal to flood the sands with water from the Mediterranean Sea.‘ If their dreams come true, futurfgeneratiolis ‘may see the great desert "blossoming as the rose." Between airships and airplanes thereare opposite opinions as to in transatlantic flight. Britain is building two, great airships which are approaching completion and will be fully tested during. the coming year. The Graf Zeppelin in‘ her first westward trip has rather weakened the faith of German builders in the superiority of the airship over the planaand just now the great Rohr- bacli czompany is building a series oi eight three-engined flying boats de- signed for service between Germany and Argentina. The engines are each of 600 horsepower and the fly- ing boats are the largest everpuilt, A much more ambitious airplane is under construction in Switzerland —-a monoplane 0f feet» span, power‘ each. It will have a maxi- mum ispeed of about 200 miles an hour, ‘and is designed to carry 50 to 60: passengers‘) with their bag- gage, besides the crew and fuel enough to last twenty hours. So we may look out for great doing on the wing next year. lloovcr proposesgoodwiil journeys through South America and Mexico before his inauguration. Mean- while Coolidge makesTill will speeches against’ friendly nations before mak- ing his exit from the presidency. Thus the strife between good and ill is maintained. Can ‘our potato pgoblem be solved by, pooling?‘ We must hope that good shall me from the worthy intention, and the success of the grain pool in the West supports the hope, although it took some years to get the wheat pooling plan in successful operation. One ‘dimoulty seems to ‘be that too many growers the plan is tested. The co-operation oi all from the beginning would bethc bcst st and the one most llkeiy"to prove successful.

Dr. F. W. White. Boston, suggests that a. barium enema 0r injection, should beused in such cases. as it will show up the condition best and with least trouble. “The. commonest symptoms are constipation. abdominal distress or pain. gas“ pains and distension of, the lower abdomen from this gas." He reminds us further that when any abdominal condition is giving pain and distension in this region, it would be well to remember that this condition is not uncommon. v It. often causes the. stomach to as- sume all sorts of shapes owing to the pressure oi the gas against it, You may remember that in the case I mentioned two years ago. the patient was absolutely free of the pain for six weeks, during which‘ time he was paddling a canoe for a number of hours every-day. The pain returnedwhen he got back to his office work. And the lesson? That while there are cases that will need medical and diet treatment, and some‘ even surgical _ treatment. the majority will befree from these gas pains if they take regular bend- ing exercises. ‘ . l, 4+0+¢o+o++0+++0+0++44o40 Household Scrapbook _ ay Leo » , .

The upper or western part o‘! this area is quite mountainous. while the-lower part is somewhat the revei-se. In the popular conception of the coun- try these extremities are ignored. thus leaving agreat, compact mid- section belt of potentialagricultural land that extends somewhat the actual north and south limits oi the Hence untouched. This squaring up process results in a more or less ar- bitrary area. as shown on the key map of the Peace River‘ on a prQ ceding page. It conforms to the boundaries of the Peace River and GrandePrairie land agencies, except that the northerly ,limit is here shown as the 59th degree of north latitude while for purposes of record, the Peace River land agency extends to the 60th deg.. the northerly boun- dary of Alberta. ' q ‘ ' 73,500 Slqllare Miles The tract of land thus designated country has an average of approxi- mately, 73,500 square miles, or in round numbers 4'1 million acres. This exceeds the combin ' areas of Ire- land. Scotland and Wales.

Very approximat- ell’ its geographical boundaries might be described as followszi . . Areas of equal longitude include the’ eastern parts of Washington and Orqgon.
