St. Patrick's Day '
The Scotchman has his St. Andrew’s Day
and the Englishman St. George`s, but to the
Irishman St. Patrick’s festival is the banner one
of the year. No matter how long an _Irishman
has lived abroad, no matter for how many gen
erations descendants of Irishmen may have lived
in other countries, love of the old land comes
down as an unbroken chain. He hears again the
ballads of the race, of its past and new glories
and he is proud that Irish blood runs through
his veins. He will be a bold Scot \vho on the
Seventeenth of March claims that St. `Patrick’s
early dwelling place was S0rne\vl1er€ n0fih Of
the Tweed!
The celebration of St, Patrick`s Day comes
at a suitable season of the year, just as the
rigors of winter are being weakened by the ap-
proach of the verdancy that is spring, when
hearts are lighter, and when “The VVearin’ of
the Green” comes as an acceptable addition to
the songs that are sung.
A House Divided
For sometime there has been apparent
difference on the staff of The Patriot with re-
gard to the advocacy of the Brighton and West
River bridge projects. One member of the staff
has boldly advocated an immediate forward
policy regarding these schemes, while the other
has suggested caution and retrenchment in ex-
penditure until such time as the governments
here and at Ottawa get out of the "red" finan-
> cially. This divided opinion gets the scheme no-
where, as locally the Liberal organ is supposed
to voice the views and policies of the Govern-
ment. And how can it do so when it is a house
divided against itself ?
Under the circumstances, evidently, the
Premier has found it necessary to call to his as-
sistance his “second string", the Liberal organ
of Summerside. In its last issue, as was slioivn
in yesterday’s GUARDIAN. The Pioneer comes out
-flat-footed in opposition to the bridge schemes.
It thinks the enterprise not only inopportune, but
ridiculous, and if persisted in will necessitate
Prince County pressing forward similar claims.
This may be considered in the nature of a
family row, and it is for the “divided house” in
Charlottetown to decide whether it will close its
ranks and espouse the cause wholeheartedly, or
let the schemes go by default.
In _this connection it is interesting to note
that our evening contemporary as a newspaper
is a law unto itself. A newspaper, so far as pub-
lic opinion is concerned, is an institution of the
same nature and characteristics as a Govern-
ment. All its members are supposed to be of one
mind in advocating any principle or policy. If
any member disapprove, his business is to re-
main silent or withdraw, and urge his views else-
where. This is the law with regard to Govern-
ments. On any policy the Government must
speak with one voice. A member differing from
it must support the majority or get out. Hith-
erto this has been the rule on newspapers as well;
but our contemporary is the proverbial excep-
tion, and the consequence is that the Govern-
ment which it supports has to_look elsewhere for
the public expression of its views and policies.
Another Scrap Of Paper
I
" ' Few American newspapers have taken the
_irouble to remind their readers that when Ger-
many sent her soldiers into the demilitarized
-Rhine zone she violated not'only the Versailles
and Locarno treaties, but the separate peace
treaty made in August, 192|, with the ,United
'States itself. The existence of this treaty seems
to have been pretty generally forgotten. In it,
however, was incorporated parts of the treaty
,bf Versailles, including the naval, military and
air. clauses, and the demilitarization of the
Rhineland zone. In the past two or three years
the .milita clauses have been openly violated,
and now iiie demilitarization clauses have been
born into scraps by HITLER.
Legally, therefore, the United States ought
to be as much concerned about treaty violation as
any European power. But not ii word of protest
has been made, although conceivably it might
have been made with particular good grace by a
power which is not actually injured by a treaty
violation. The United States, had it chosen, could
have protested with force and dignity against
what Hrrneri has done on the -Rhine without
being suspected of any special interest.

This is the anniversary of St. Patrick’s
Birthday, but it may be recalled that there was
not always agreement upon the exactness of the
date. In his poem “The Birth of St. Patrick,"
Samuel. LEVER, the Irish novelist and song
writer, declared that some Irishmen claimed the
date to be March 8 and others March 9. So Fath-
ev MULCALY, “who showed them their sins, said
No one could have two birthdays but a twins.
Says he, Boy’s don’t be fightin’ for eight or nine,
don’t be always dividin’, but sometimes combine;
»combine eight and nine and seventeen is the
mark, so let that be _his birthday. Amen, says the
Clerk.”

To sum up the matter both
bluntly and concisely, we should
like our foreign omoe to inform
Europe ln general, and France in
particular, there can be no collec-
tive security while Europe retains
its present frontiers, and that until
these frontiers are altered we do not
propose to fight. for them. We
should like our Government to ln-
form the Germans that ln their
case there will be no iectlflcatlon
of frontiers until they behave
themselves like reasonable human
beings. Lastly, we should like Great
Britain to show her sincerity by
proposing outright that the front-
lers of Austria and Hungary should
be subjected to_ immediate recon-
sideration, and that both’ these
countries should be absolutely free

both selfish and public-splrlbed. The
company hopes, of course, that the
plan will lead to the sale of more
new cars, but also that it will re-
move from the highways mimy
dilapidated old-timers. Since, ln
many states, there ls no law to
keep such dangerous vehlc`es off

other automobile manufacturers
will follow the good exarnpie set

What. the lnexpert man on the
street cannot understand about the
expertfs cry, “Reduce crops and crop

John Orr, a. _noted Brltlsh author-
ity, said recently that “ln order to
provide the (British) people with
proper sustensxioe, consumpdon of
milk should be increased 42 per
cent; of fruit and vegetables, 53 per
cent; of butter and eggs, 25 per
cent." Yet. on this oonunent we hear
the cry of "over-production," and
millions of cattle and other farm
animals are destroyed, tons of
wheat burned and larm lands re-
lrumed to the forest. In the true
sense them has not been any over-
production.-Goderich Signal.
The Nye committee showed that

rality ls endangered. Ultimately,
that lesson will be translated into
real neutrality legislation that will

HEADACHE AND FACE PAIN
FROM IMPAUYED OB.
INFECTED TEETII
Young woman complained of
pain ln the region of the ear but
careful examination by her physic-
ian and an ear specialist failed to
reveal anything wrong.
As she also complained of tired-'
ness the physician, looking first' for
the commonest cause of tiredness,
had an Xriiy examination made of
l;el» teeth. The ftlm showed that her
l t grinding or molar.tooth was
growing ln the wrong direction,
|belng pointed toward her ear. This
was the cause of the pain about her
ear. ,
Further exainlnatlon of the "lm-
pacted" tooth, as lt ls called, showed
that lt. was also Infected. Removal
of the tooth cleared up both her
pain and tired-out feeling.
During the war it was found that
the eyesight of some of the mem-
bers of the flying corps became so
poor that their landings were not
accurate. The removal of infected
and impacted teeth. and the gradual
‘removal from the body of the pois-
ons from these teeth restored the
eyesight to normal ln ii. few weeks.
Dr. Oliver T. Osborne. New Hav-
en, Conn., ln Medical World says, “I
have seen instances of most intense
headache tn the region of the eye,
for which several eye specialists had
given prescriptions for eyeglasses
without beheflt, when the pain en-
tirely ceased after the removal of
an impacted or infected tooth. With
chronic head pains or head pains
that occur frequently, X ray plc-
tures should be taken of the whole
face, to study. not only the teeth
and the antrums (cavities or sinus-
es ln the cheek bone adjoining the
nose) and also the frontal slriuses
(the cavities ln the forehead lm-
medlately above the eyes.)
Older physicians will tell you that
serious operations on the large
nerve whose branches supply all the
teeth and face, were frequently done
for severe pe..tn about the face and
head, before the Xray was brought
lntogeneralause. Infected or lm-
pected teeth as the cause was not
known then. '
Now that an Xray of all the teeth
and the way the teeth of the upper
law meet or do not meet those of
the lower jaw, and the oondltlon of
the slnuses can be obtained at a
reasonable price, lt might be ii good
investment, should your doctor ud-
vlse lt, to have this examination
made when head or fe/ce pains per-
slst without any knoiim cause.

Much as may be deemed doubt-

show that the Irish race ls one of
tho oldest and noblest in the an-
nals of European peoples. having

*AND THE BOOTS”
Sir.-Sitting beside me at the
Sunday evening repeal. a lady, who
I believe ls is non-fmblber, said “I
wish you would write a. letter to the
Guardian"-"Yes", I sold, “and what
about?" “Oh anything, just to crowd
out those temperance letters.”
Now, whlle I realize that a request
from the gentler sex ls a command,
I want lt specially understood that
I am not venturing to express an
opinion as to whether the Prince
Edward Island or any other non-
Mahomedan Legislative body ls en-
dowed wlth sufficient wisdom to en-
act laws that would solve the pesky
problem of the use and abuse of‘
what Paddy delights in calling
"spiritual" liquors.
So with, this proviso, here goes!-'
After learning from your account
ln last Thursday's Guardian of how ‘
Lord Tweedsmulr's recently elected
successor ln the British House of
Commons puzzled that astute body
by asking is solution of the riddle of
the shoemaker, who gave ii. custom-
er a pair of 16 shilling boots a-nd
4 shillings cash ln exchange for a
worthless pound note, it will per-
haps amuse your readers to be told
that ln my high-school days ln Que-
bec there wasn’t. a boy ln the school
who wouldn’t cry “R.at.s" if so out-
‘worn is eonundriim were offered to
him. The story then'was exactly
as recounted by you, except that
Canadian currenc was substituted
was brought into the picture simply
to confuse, for he paid the shoe-
maker a pound and received that
amount ln return, and was there-
fore in reality eliminated from the
story, leaving the latter simply a
recounting of how the ahoemriker
had given his customer s pair of
shoes and 4 shillings and received
ln retiuin s worthless "scrap of
paper."
when is correct reply was received
as to the shoemaker’s net loss, the
rejolnder was at once given “and
the boots"-To the story was also
sometimes added the fact that the
butcher asked his neighbor the bak-
er to cash the pound note and that
the latter did not make the dtscov- '
ery of the forgery until lie deposited
the note ln his bank, to all of which
was added ii recoiuitlng of the ro-
very lenient with him.

should have been so entirely obliter-

the distinguished members of tho

found it necessary to don their

usually credit these same gentlemen
with being able to give aces and
