According to a despatch in yester- day's Guardian. objection Ls raised by n United States Senator to Can- ada's preferenti l customs rat/ex. Preferential duties are allowed on all British goods entering Canada through Canadian ports, but when they enter through American ports the full customs duty is charged. The Senator above referred to stat- ed that 100,000 bunches of bananas had passed through Boston destined for Canadian points in 1928, and that bananas were subjected to n. dutyof ‘fifty cents a bunch because theyl entered through American “The United‘ States never loses jciebt "or itlrdwn interests.

Arid now comes the news that n new telesbope of ZOO-inch aperture is to beerecied near PBSBGEDILCRLODB. height not far from Mount Wilson. Instead of five or six nebulae whom distance and dimensions can be de- termined at present. the number, it is expected, will be increased l0 twenty or thirty, with results of lees accuracy, but of statistical value. for some 200 or more. This material will ‘ ' make itypomible to tak llp the in- vestigation of the faintest and more distant nebulae. with results which can as yet only be surmised. At any rate. it'ls estimated that the new telescope will show nebulae to a dis- tance of 400,000,000 light years. and that within this range their num- ber's will amount to perhaps 5.000.- 000 or 10,000,000. A few millions more or less are as nothing in these vast computations. In our own little sys- tom the stars are estimated at some thirty billion in number. There can be little doubt that within‘ this field the new instrument will add some hundreds of millions of stars which can be photographed and meas for brightness. After all. with the most powerful telescope that can be invented, the astronomer will only be doing what he is doing now-peering out. into infinity.’ Let us take refuge in this: knowledge. which is all that we are fitted to receive. The stars. in their radiant brightness. countless in num- ber and majestic in their courses across the heavenly plain, are, we must believe, there for our inspira- tion and guidance. whatever else they may mean to the scientist. "Shall we liken ourselves to Him in seeking to penetrate into the mys- teries of His creation? Shall we say. Behold, this star spinnetb round that star, and this other star with a tail goeth and cometh in so nmny‘ years? Let i~t gol Ho from whose hand it came will guide and direct it."

With the storm of yesterday morning the responsibilities inciden- tal to wlnterdmild or severe. ale now upon us. Among these respon- sibilities is the necessity of keeping our roads and footpaths comfortably passable. This duty has not always been satisfactorily performed, and because of neglect accidents ‘have been sustained, and discom- jorta endured. It is now up to every good citizen to do his duty in this respect, to kcepvthe sidewalks free from accumulations of snow ’and slush. Even during this brief section of winter. evidences of neglect in cor- tain quarters have been sppucat. ‘Ihcgcodnamcofthecitydcrnalids u... we keep our sidewalks clean and the good namu_9f our citizens are involved in the good name"? at din-pity.

The arrangement for the sale in Tor- onto of fillets of “internally refrig- erated" Atlantic haddock ia an ef- fort-to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new process. The investiga- tion was undertaken because frozen nah had commonly been found, af- ter thawing. to be in poor condi- tion, apart from any spoilage due to decomposition before freezing took place. The solution of the difficulty was found in the development of economical methods of rapid freezing of fish by the use of brine at about zero Fahrenheit, instead of at very low temperatures, and by bringing that brine into more or less direct contact with both sides of the fish. The fish are filleted and the flesh is formed into half-pound blocks. five inches long. three inches wide and nearly an inch thick.’ These blocks are wrapped in parchment paper. rapidly frozen and packed. two in a carton. The fish so frozen and pre- pared. according to the ‘Atlantic Fish- eries Commission, is found. 81w!’ thawing. to have" retained all, the qualities of avor and texture of fresh Atlantic fish. In connection with the process the Toronto Mail and Empire recalls the frequent discussions of plans for cu- lillging the domestic market for pro- ducts of the fishing industry of the Maritime Provinces. The problem of extending the home market of that industry was being debated in the liousc of commons you the nleht 0f February. 1916. when the Parliament buildings in Ottawa were destroyed by fire. It is now suggested that the problem hns been iu large measure solved by the results of tllc work of _ the Biological Board. If it has, cou- sumers in Central Canada will have the advantage of plentiful supplies of sea fish and the fishing industry of the Maritime from the marketing of that fish- Survcylng the results of five 701$’ broadcasting of clrurcll services. tho Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bish- op of Washington, is favorably im- pressed with the radio as an effective aid to church work. "The aged. the shut-in, the sick. are the chosen bene- ficiarles cf the broadcast service. Sig- nificance is attached to the form of service if it is to reach these people effectively: it should be "of a digni- fid devotional nature coupled with a practical and simple message that is designed wholly to meet the common needs of men and women of every class.“ This, we should imagine. is the ideal form of all church services. Recent mail and bank robberies in Ontario and major crimes ‘of other kinds in Ontario and Quebec have been traced to American gangsters. It ls regrettable that arsection of the Canadian press. whose zeal has out- run discretlcn in looking for evidence damaging to those provinces which have adopted Government control of liquor, should have featured these in- stances of lawbreaking as of Cana- dian origin. It is about time that a little patriotic pride was taken in the government of our own countly. Canadits crime TBCOITIJBS compared with that of the Republic to the south. is highly creditable. When American criminals are caught and found guilty of lawbreaking in this country, the occasion is offered to show the world that Canadian justice is a thoroughgollng affair.

Fault. he dc- clares, lies in the ability of tho mod- em master to memorlse thousands of games by heart, until he sees the time coming when such a one will be able thus equipped to draw every game board, instead of _64. and the addition of two new pieces. He says in part:- "Imaglne a. game in which some F half-dozen experts neither win nor lose. but always draw. The game, as n game. is dead; it has lost all its interest; it becomes intolerable to play and intolerable to watch. Tour- naglellts are now gone through without the loss of asingle game by players who could never have done so some ten years ago. In tourna- ment after tournament there ls no "brilliancy," and very few combina- flli0D$ are possible. because each’ player knows exactly what to avoid. and the position after tlla openlnS makes combinations out of the ques- tion.

They play simply the variations they know. and these lead nearly always to a. draw. They play according to] knowledge, as they must. It is a dull conclusion. but it is inevitable if a player is to have regard to his po- sition in a. tournament. He cannot be expected to commit suicide for the sake of sport. "The demand, however, for a live- lier game. where there would be more combination. more sacrifice, and more scope for native talentand imagina- tion, and less roorn for the chess player's least valuable virtue, mem- ory. is thoroughly legitimate. Let the critics, and let the first-class play- ers, who suffer quite as much under the present system as the average competent observer. have what they want. There must be a change in the game (as there has been in other games). not in its structure or fun | damental principles, but such as o ‘abolish the present drawbacks, and to give the game once more an unli- mited lease of life. The change, I am convinced. must be fairly far- reaching; for no shifting the relative position of the pieces. as at present arranged on the board, nor any of the many minor often suggested chang- es. will do. It could be a palliative for a very short time. Larger Board “There remains then a larger board to consider, and the addition of extra pieces. Personally.
