But one hears little of plumbing or baths in Greece. but much still remains of the magnificent Roman water systems and baths. The Chinese have never paid much mind to sanitation or bathing while the Japanese have made a fetish of it regarding bathing both as a cereâ€" mony and a luxury. Most European countries, even those noted for cleanâ€" liness, have regarded the bathroom as purely functional, Even Italy of the Renaissance gave little thought to plumbing, for all their great Roman precedents. Finland, remote and relatively uncreative, has an elaborate festival of the bath and considers a steaming bath with switsch brushes high among their pleasures,. .

UNION BUS TERMINAL . NORTH BA Y One of ‘ the most attractive rooms exhibited in the "America at Home" show at the New York World‘s Fair is this one called "Tulips" by DBiane Tate and Marian Hall.

(From QOttawa Journal) In Pembroke a few weeks ago chilâ€" dren were suspended from the public school because, on orders of their parents, they had refused to salute the flag or join in singing the National Anthem. I; was a situation which preâ€" viously had arisen in the United States, and on which a ruling now has been made by the United States Supreme Court. That tribunal decided by cight to that school children legally may be required to salute the Stars and Stripes, even if members of a reâ€" licious sect which looks with abhorâ€" rence on such ceremonies. Justice Frankfurter wrote the majorâ€" ity decision. National unity, he said, was the basis of national security, and the flag was the symbol of that national tunity: and conscientious scruples do not relieve the individual of obedience to a general law which was not aimed at the promotion or restriction of a religious belief. And he added this: "To stigmatize legislative judgment in providing for this universal gesture of respect for the symbol of our national life in the setting of the common school as a lawless inroad on that freedom of conscience which the constitution proâ€" Court in U.S.A. Upholds Salute of Flag in his religious convictions because he is required to pay a decent respect to his country‘s institutionsâ€"on which his liberty in religion restsâ€"is far from convincing.

Fifth Column Notes We acknowledge hints on fifth ecolumnis.s, but, unfortunately, we don‘t expect that the dangerous fifth columnists give themselves away. A lady is worried over a couple who were old Nazis some three years ago. ‘The man came from Germany eight years ago: learned all a Chinese cook could teach him, then got the Chinaman fired and took his job. This sounds quite ~German, regardless of what column you put it in. j Writing in his column in The Toronâ€" to Telegram, Thomas Richard Henry says this week :â€" Another lady is highly indignant beâ€" cause the authoritiese look on her as serman. She married a German ten years ago, and separated from him five years ago. Give a girl a bad name, etc. t Paprika f One result of the war is to cut off the United States imports of paprika. Just imagine the horrible suffering that must be endured because Ameriâ€" cans can‘t get their paprika. No wonder efforts are being made to grow paprika in Louisianaâ€"and the Germans no doubt are watching and wonderine if the States could get through another winter without paâ€" prika. IHuminating They have started night baseball in New York and the report says, "The Giants played their first nocturnal game on a field 19 times brighter than the average business man‘s desk." You will notice that it was 19 times brighter than the average man‘s desk. The record does not state how much brighter it was than the average busiâ€" ness man. i We wonder if they measured the light on all the business men‘s desks and took an averageâ€"how else could they have arrived at that "19". If they had said 20 times brighter, you might have taken it at just a rough €xtimate, but "19 times brighter‘" sugâ€" gests careful mathematical calculation. Then, how do they decide which is an average business manâ€"and which are slightly above or below average. But we continue with the report of lighting the field. "Tf? concentrated in a single beam, the 200,000 candlepower generated would makeit.possible to read a newsâ€" paper 18 miles away." This really is something. It would be quite a feat for most of us to read a newspaper 18 miles away even in dayvlightâ€"those of us, at least, who do not wear reading glasses. check." We don‘t know why the man doesn‘t go broke this spring. Genteel There is nothing that resembles "Vie de Paris‘" or even Esquire in the adâ€" vertisements for Monel metal tanks. Take Imogene, for example. - The Monel metal people show the alluring Imogene stepping into her bath and gurgling with delight at how clean and hot the water is. We wonder what the man was drinkâ€" ing just previous to writing about the Giants‘ nocturnal ball game. Bad Business | There is a sign just outside Toronto which reads: "Car washing 50 centsâ€"24â€"hour rain The way Imogene steps over the edge of the bath tub is a picture of grace and beautyâ€"but Imogene is plenteously garbed in negligee. It is possibly a sign of modern times â€"the ladies undress to go out in pubâ€" lic, but wear flowing robes while taking a bath. We would be a little careful about catching honest Canadians of foreign birth, but where it can be proved that anybody was acting as an undercover agent of a foreign government, he should be shot before ancther dawn. There is no logic in shooting half a million German soldiers who, at least, come out in the open and fightâ€"and providing a nice internment camp for the sneaking Judas within our gates. Since men are shooting each other in such a wholesale fashion we see no reéeaâ€" son to spare the spy. Why Not? Rcobert Ley, German Labor Front leader, said almost a month ago that Hitler would soon make the whole world happy. Well, why doesn‘t he hurry up? We suggest prussic acid, simply beâ€" cause prussic acid always reminds us of Prussiaâ€"but almost any poison would do as well. Column Five While the French are holding the front line, possibly we could play an active part in overthrowing the Fifth Column. *A The French army forgets things just about as easily as Scotland Yard. Air Conditioned "Also Allabaza and Arlene Stewart air conditioned for comfort," a local theatre blazons forth. The Last Quarter Hour It is the last quarter of an hour that takes the courage. Men are only human machines, no matter how German and inhumane they may be. 1916 Deserter A French deserter from the army in 12916 has just been arrested. The Germans have shown their abiliâ€" ty to keep up a heavy and sustained attack for a long period, but even the German storm must blow itself out im time. We heard a lady say the other day, "I hope the Allies never make peace with Hitler when he is riding high but the other children, The Peombroke pa-' rents concerned supported their chu-;Old_Timer Of garenâ€"in refusing to salute the flag, on ; the plea that their religion would not | permit any such salutes to earthly ‘isymbols. The school board at Pem-% broke supported the tsacher, but later it was ‘decided to settle the matter by 'm‘oviding that children who did not want to salute the flag may withdraw from the scene until after the cereâ€" mony. This will not be considered an ideal adtjustment of the difficulty. Most _people will feel that no proper religious yelief will stop children from doing honour to flag and country. In the United States those refusing to salute| the ‘flag were not given o much conâ€" cideration. The courts decided that l all children must salute the flag.

Would anybody like to rent a nice June wedding? And another small ad says: "Parber shot, established locationâ€"" The police should look into this. We can‘t have any established locaâ€" tion for shooting baibers. We don‘t think there is anything wrong in shooting a barber now and then who insists on covering your head with a highâ€"smelling concoction before you have time to interrupt his ficw of opinion on matters far and near, But we don‘t think that it should beâ€" come a general practice, with an estabâ€" lished location. People are certainly in a hurry the days. If they like their meat lofty, why don‘t they just wait for time and nature to fulfill their destinies? Aging Meat A new process has been found for accelerating the aging of meat. But this won‘t do. They must hurry meat into setting old before its time. matter of fact we thought the whole idea in modern refrigeratng and the rest was to prevent meat and other foodstuffs from aging. But ! apparently some scientist got tired, of : the beaten path, and reversed the general idea. So now, if you want it, you can get aged meat in a hurry. We repeat, if you want it.
