The United States hag for several decades followed the beautiful cus- tom of decorating on May 30tn the graves of its fallen sallors and sold- fiers. What an example for the empire end what an inspiration at this time. On Memorial Day the American people femember their dead and whet their death hes signified to the natioa. Why should not the far-flung em- pire adopt the same plan and use the same Qart ; : an influence upon the best thought of the world would. be the knowledge that on that day one-third of the world's population and area kept in mind the memory of their sallor and soldier dead; that this great raco, having charge of so much ¢f the world, were themselves un- der 'the reign of one law, the law of and fits horrors between them, at least, would be known no more? The objection may be raised that two holidays, Empire Day and Mem- oral Day, come too close together, but Mey 80th need not be a legal hqliday /for the empire, but rather in the year when everyone, children and adults, would wear a eprig of evergreen or a picture of it treal on a piece of white ribbon to show to all observers that they had in mind "their fallen heroes of every race, creed and color, and that on that day they would decorate the graves of their brave dead. 1 This day would be an outstand- ing event in the history of the Eng: glish-speaking races and would be- come, in time, one of those binding influences stronger than bands of steel which would set at naught the influence of the 'hidden hand" teaches that there must be some- thing behind the advertising. There must be a policy of square dealing, of living ap to the statements made n, in advertisements, and a policy of | giving good value for every dollar spent by the huying public. These things may not make all men reach the same level as Henry Ford from a financial standpoint, but they will 80 a long way towards ensuring success to those who follow these two planks of the Ford policy. THE 'WORLD GROWING BETTER. In these days when people are in- clined to take a gloomy viaw of con- ditions the world over, and are in- clined to point to-the present young- €r generation, with its open deflance of convention and the things which were considered right a few years ago, and say the world is going to the dogs,: it is refreshing to find someone who will champion the world of to-day and boldly assert that it is growing better. The world has found euch a champion, -how- ever, in General Ballington Booth of the Salvation Army of fhe United States who, on the eve of a celebra- tion tendered to Mrs. Booth and himself, in New York, states that the era of unnatural coaditions is al- most over, and the ia is growing better all the time. General Booth sees in this era of jazz music, crime waves and 'other unnatural condi- tions of the age, simply the result of the repression and depression caused by the war. The modern lust of pleasure he characterises as tha method taken by the paopla of to- day to "blow off steam," after their feelings had been bottled up by the tensity of the great conflict. It is true, as General Booth sug- gests, that the present condition of the world is but a passing phase. It BY SAM HILL v Away yoo Thent.
