HOSPITAL GI£AN'l'S
' The importance of maintaining
ruch necessary institutions us hos-
pitals was strongly elnpilasizcd in
the trustees’ report sublllittcd at
last nights alllluzii meeting ot the
Prince Edward lsi;\nd'Hospital. The
new hospital blllidllllz, which shortly
will be ready for occupatioll, was
undertaken as the result of pledges
obtained from subscribers, nlany of
whom now find difficulty in meet-
ing their obligations. The tru-S1605
nr, obliged to isslle bonds amount-
lrlg to $125,000 to finance the con-
struction work and pay ef! their
bank loan, and they are reminding
all contributors of thc necessity of
meeting tlleir pledges. They also
express disappointment at having
received no increase in grant from
the Provincial Goverllmellt this year,
and intimate that it may be neces-
naril to so back to the system of
making yearly collections to cover
operation deficits as was dolle cv-
ery year prior to 10215, since which.
time the hospital had succeeded in
paying its' way.
The report cites opinions express-
ed by Prelnier Stewart, Hon. Dr. W.
J. P. MacMillan, and Mr. W, M. Lea
of the need of govcrnnlcntai sup-
port, to a greater extent than at
present.. of hospital work. Under

'A GYlT“”1.)c"”`ie'l=.‘171`l7/lL?
Speaking rcccni-ly :ll Cllarlottc-
hwn, Professor J. S. 'I‘lloll:soll, MA.
of Pine Hill College, Halifax, a na-
tive of Scotland, declared that hc
had been greatly touched to llcar
people still speaking Gaelic in the
Maritime Provinces, a fact which
indicated to him that down to the
third, fourth and fifth generations
the ties of sentiment and attach-
men to the Old Land are still strong.
This statement is iniclcsting as
showing the cxtclli. to which the
Gaelic language was once spoken in
these Provinces; for thcrc can bc
language survives, The 111111101' °f
me amd; is Mr. J. L. Campbell- °f
Invernelll, who maintains that while
lt cannot be denied that Ga@1i° 1°
the Maritimes has declined, there is
still enough life in it to suEE€S¢
that enthusiasm and interest could
be easily aroused in those P3115
whose traditions and SP9'-‘C11 are
still predominantly Highland-
' Mr. Campbell! article was re-
printed in the March issue of “An
Gaidheal" tThe Gael) official mag-
azine of An Comunn Gaidheaiach
(The Gaelic Union,) published at
Glasgow, and a leading editorial
(in Gaelic) was devoted to it by the
editor, Rev. Neil Ross, D. Litt. We
are indebted to Mr. H. A. Messefvy.
of this city, for a. copy of the mus-
azine and a translation of Dr. Ross'
interesting comment. After summing
up the results or Mr. ca.ml1bc11‘=_1n-
vestigations, the editor says: “Are
not our hearts filled mth affection
for that faithful posterity that are
thus holding to their inheritance?
. _ . The farther the Gael travels
from his country of the hills the
warmer is his devotion to his music
and his speech. But. as our speech
lost more and more its grip in the
Highlands as the result of neglect,
so likewise will the Gaelic lose its
grip in Canada from the san-le
cause _ . .Thus will rome death
most certainly on our tongue unlc-<5
every effort is made to Save it in
good time This question offers
public notice another matter about
which I have been thinking much
for many years. It is this: that it
would seem right for the Comunn
Gaidhealach to make an attempt t.o
establish branches in Canada. The
‘Gaelic is just as valued and as much
;allve in Canada as it is ln Scot-
land. If the Comunn is zealous of
keeping the speech, it is right that
it should take means to encourage
the Gaels of Canada, so that we
preserve our tongue and ollr music.
lt is not that we are more skillful
or wiser than they; but we are still
in the Old Home, in the Mother
Country-and we have proven the
good work of the Comunn for forty
years. Tile authorities will listen to
our voice. The teaching of thc
speech has been revived in the
schools and we are able to keep in
memory the old tunes, for they are
slmg at the Mods, both solo and in
choir. Let; the Comunn send over-
seas three or four delegates speak-
ing and singing in Gaelic, and thcrc
is not the least doubt that there
will be good fruit as 9. result of
new branches budding forth in
Canada.”
Tile foregoing comment, together
with Mr. Campbells article, evid-
ently creatcd much interest, among
Gaelic enthusiasts in the Old
Country. In the Alpril issue of “An
Gaidheal" the editors suggestion of
a Gaelic delegation to the Mari-
times is warmly commended by Sir
Alexander M. MacEwcn, who is
quoted as follows:
| Sir,-Your leading article on
this subject and Mr. J. L. Camp-
bcil's account of his unofficial

ection for the activities of An

tion from An Comunn visiting
Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, and
Prince Edward Island might pro-
duce rcsllits, not only of great
interest. but of permanent value.
The settlements of Gaelic-spcak-

that steps shollid be immediately

pointed to consider thc probable

the making of wars would end. Yet
in Germany we have S0611 U10
"young men" nlarching in martini
fervor, clattering their armaments,
persecutlng evcll their own citizens
with violence and force. The truth.
of collrse, is that “youth” and “Old

in this way. Not by the years .a man
has lived, but, by the character of
his ideals, by the outlook of his

don Daily Herald has shown the
grim and loathsolne reality that
the anti-democratic reaction is. It
has won its way to office by a skil-
ful but shameless demagogy, by ex-
travagant promises, by emotional
appeals. Power has been won: pro-
mises are at once forgotten, and the
men who were ‘I0 “free Germany"
settle down to batten on the spoils
and to wreak a half-mad vengeance
on all who oppose them.
It has become evident that the
world, White Paper, In¢iia's future
constitution assumes definite shape.
Indillfs obvious duty is to accept the
White Paper as n basis for discussion
to the Select Committee, to pre-
pare to drive home the points which
she considers essential, and to meet
land overcome die-hard opposition.
,That can only be done by a display
of solidarity on the lines of earnest
and helpful co-operation Tile task
lies equally on the Princes and people
of British India. We recall the pro-
wrulis more and loses all." '1‘ile goal
of many years‘ endcnvolll' is before
us; let us press forward manfuily to
its attainment. ‘
When Chzmcelor Iliticr mentions
this salient feature of internal-10!1i1l
relations, he cannot be accused of
being on unsound ground. Let the
other nations disarm alld Germany
will be content to retain her 'pics-
cnt disarmed status. But, if the
other nations continue to balk at
disarmament, then Germany de-
mands the right to rearm. And, if
the rigllt is not given, Herr Hitler
illtilnates that Germany will with-
draw from the League of Nations.
In this respect, the German leader
puts it squarely up to the others.
They may not rcllsil thc challenge.
but' there it is for them to do
with as they will.
The world which Franklin Roose-
velt secs today is not the world that
\Vilsoll saw. nor is it the world
which Harding and Coolidge and
Hoover saw through a haze of
prosperity. It is a. world in which
the doctrine of economic isolation
and of savc-llinlscll-who-can has
brought clit-throat competition and
dammed-up trade. Explosions of
anger, fright and despair break the

YOUR. PERSONAL APPEARANCE
I rccelltiy picked up a little book
giving various kinds of information,
one item being thc value of the dif-
ferent appeals in advertising.
It shelved the relative strength of
appeals; the highest possible value
being 100 and the lowest 0. 'I‘hc ap-
peals were hcaithfulncss, cleanli-
ness, tinlc saved, appctizing, dur-
ability, qunliiy, down a whoic list of
30 appeals. I was pleased to see that
lleaitlltllillcss stood first with _92 but
was amazed io fllld that at the hot-
tonl of the list. was "beaut-ifylng"
with a. score of only 10.
I then looked at the date on the
hook and found it was 1922.
A I venture to say that “beautify-
ing" is not at the bottom of the list
to-day but likely right. at the top
with healtllfuillcss because in these
days women and girls, and men also,
are intensely interested ill their per-
sonal appcarlulcc.
And tile first thought from a
beauty standpoint is the skin. Thus
all kinds of soaps, powders, oint-
mcnts and creams are advertised
making great claims as beautifylng
agents. _
As sl mutt/er of fact it must be ad-
mitted that good soap with warm
water is ll glrrtt. cleanser of the skin.
Powders not only improve the ap-
pearance of the skill but give a cer-
tain amount of protection, absorb
moisture, and are cooling. Oint-
ments and creams give an addi-
tional supply of oil to a. dry skin,
making it soft and pliable,
You can thus see that there is
need of these ad\'cl'iised nrticles-'-
soap, powder, oilltlnellts and creams.
}lowe\'er the proper hygiene or
health of the skin ricpcllds upon
good health ilzlhils -proper sleep,
exercise, fresil air, sulliigllt, diet,
clothing and bathing-~\vhich ill pre-
serving the health of all the timues
of the body, preserve the health of
the skill.
As mentioned before by Dr. W. A.
Pllscy, Chicago, no other _group of
causes arc nlore active in producing
diseases of the skin than improper
dict, bad habits of eating and liv-
ing, and the series of digestive dis- i
turbances that gc with these.
If then your skin is rough, blotchy<
or itchy, try to locate the food or
foods, often some oi’ the best and
most nourisllillg foods, which may
be causing the ir.~ita.tion, and either
avoid tileln or use them in small
quantities.

Although the Canadian census
cnumerates the Slwakers in 0809-55
of many different languages, the
speakers of Scottish Gaelic are not
included in this linguistic enumer-
ation. This omission, which is un-
fortunately rather typical of the
official attitude in the Dominion
towards the Gaelic language, in
spite of the fact that many notable
Canadians are from Gaelic-SPcak-
ing homes, renders it difficult to
find out how far the descendants of
the eighteenth and nineteenth cen-
tury Highland emigrants have pre-
served their old language in their
new home, sl. matter of no small
sentimental and linguistic interest.
in order to obtain further infor-
mation upon this question, the
writer had printed a._ehort ques-
tionnaire upon the state of the
Gaelic language in Canada, which
was distributed to all ministers and
priests of parishes in Cape Breton
and Prince Edward ,Island and fn
the counties of Pictou, Antigonish,
and Gllysborough on the Nova
Scotilm mainland. About 160 or so
of these questionnaires were sent
out. and all but about 30 received
replies, many of which were accom-
panied by very interesting letters
supplementing the answers given.
The questions were as follows :-
1_ Is Gaelic spoken in your parish?
If so, by about how many? And
_by \vha.t proportion of the total
populo.tion?
Do the children speak English,
or Gaelic, or both ?
Is Gaelic used in the schools?
Are Gaelic services held in your
church? If so, how often? Do
you ever preach in Gaelic ?
5. Is your Gaelic congregation
. large? Ol' declining? Does it
consist mostly of old people ?
Is Gaelic declining in your Par-
ish. or holding its own? Is it, be-

THE NUIWBER OF GAELIC
SPEAKERS.
Unfortunately, not all correspon-
dents gave both the nlunber and
the proportion ot' persons speaking
Gaelic in their parish. This, 00-
gether with those who did not re-
ply, made the total number a.
fer at reduction so that the salary
and pension combined would not
exceed the full salary which the po-
sition carried. The purpose was to
cover cases of Civil servants draw-
ing large salaries and who were al-
so in receipt of large pensions, for
instance, where the salary would
leach $6,000 to $10,000 per year,
and by reason of one's rank over-
seas, the pension might be $1,000 or
$2,000. Protests came in such num-
bers that the proposal was dropped,
but next year such pensions will bc
subject to thc Income Tax; by that
method the small wage eamer, with
a. small pension, and therefore not
subject in income tax, will not be
affected.

It is probable that the actual
number is anything up to twice this
figure. Many parishes showing a.
large proportion of Gaelic speakers
did not state _their number, while
lt. would he nearly ilnpossiblc for
urban correspondents, especially
those igliorant, ol Gaelic tilclllsclves,
to estimate the number of Gaelic
speakers in their parishes.
THE STATE OF THE LANGUAGE
In nearly every case the language
was stated to be declining, and
often to be corrupted with English
words andexpresslons as well. In
only four parisiles, those nf Inver-
ness tCatholic). Whycoramagh
(United Chllreh of Canada and
Presbytel'iall parishes), Gabarus
(United), and Frambols and Loch
Lomond (Presbytel'ian), was It
stated to be holding its own, though
in several others, notably Judique
(Catholic), Straihiorne and Lake
All-lslle tunlleal, st. Amrs urnlwa)
and'North 'Shore (Presbyterian),
the decline was only gradual as yet.
A11 these parishes are ln the island
of Cape Breton, of which it can be
said, so far as the non-French rural
districts aro concerned, that it is as
a. whole as Highland as any part of
Scotland is today. In nearly every
parish it was stated that the pro-
portion of children speaking Gaelic
was smaller, often a good deal
smaller, than that of adults, though
in several cases it was said that
children, brought up at home and
in school to speak English, used to
pick up Gaelic from their elders
after leaving school, not, however,
learning it very well in this way. It
was clearly evident that further
decline is inevitable, the younger
generation as a whole tending to
grow up either ignorant, or with
only a smattering of the language.
GAELIC IN THE CHURCHES
This is, best studied with refer-
ence to the percentages of Gaelic
speakers in the parishes.
It is evident that there are scarc-
ely thc llulllber of Gaelic services
held that might be expected: there
are 24 parishes where more than 60
per ccllt. of thc people speak Gae-
lic, but, only eight where Gaelic is
preached more than ollcc it month.

' (Manchester Guardian)
It may seem a trifle late in the
day for a new protest against the
use of Christian names by children
in addressing, or referring to, their
parents, but' it may be conceded
that such seeming disrespect would
have horrified the mid-Victorians,
whose rules about the use of in-
timate designations were almost
incredibly strict. Sir .Algernon
West recorded that in his early
days very few ladies addressed
even their husbands by their
Christian names, and that he had
never once heard his own mother
so address his father. Between bro-
thers and sisters, after they had
left childhood behind, the same
formality was observed. Lady Jer-
sey recalled time ner father, Lol-fl
Westmorland, though extremely
fond of his sister, never called her
anything but Lady Lonsdale, and
Henry Greville remembered that
when his mother used to take him,
as a boy, to stay with her brother,
the Duke of Portland, the Duke, on
coming down in the morning,
would say, “How is your ladyship
this morning?" and she would re-
ply with all solemnlty, "I am quite
well, I am obliged to your Grace.”
"Do I really need brushing off?"
asked the passenger in the Pull-
man.
"Does you!" exclaimed the por-
ter, with great emphasis. "Boss, I’se
brokel"

" Insurance for 0h|IlIren__
"I urge every father and mother as they are
interested in the future of their children to see
that they are taught the purpose and value of
life insurance. Parents should help their children
to take out policies at as early an age as possible.
Taking out such policies and then turning them
over to the children as soon as they are self-
supporting starts them out ln life with a gift of
real value and assists them In acquiring early a
sense of responsibility and habit of saving
which will help them throughout their lives.”
