Robb, Minister of Immi- | gration, is considering the sugges- | tion of certaim Armenian-Canadians that a district in Northern Ontario | be pioneered by Armenian refugees | who can bring with them sufficient funds to establish themselvea. siderations are left out, as they will not be by the Minister, the plan has much to recommend it it only the facts are fairly appraised. The Ar- | menians are a hardy, self-reliant | race, with a tenacity of life and a genius for mking a living which are almost incomprehensible. Their capacity for heavy labour and their age-long experience In defending their mountain farms against the hard elements fit them extremely { well for the ardours of pioneering. No soft prairie dwellers these, but tough mountaineers, innured alike to snow and sweat. Yet they are not the sort who will be content' to remain mere beasts of labour, dun stupid cattle, for it has been noticed that in one Armenian refugee camp after another the school house goes up whether the refugees have shel- ter or sleep in the rain. Nor are the Armenians bringers of those race hatreds which lead to so many quar- rels among our Central European im- migrants. They have one enemy, the Turk, but all Christendom is their brother. Ideal immigrants these, men who ask only to be let live and | Who would in time enrich the stream of our national life with their pe- culiar genius. But it is a fair question whether under the proposed scheme we would get the best Armenians, the peasants who Have abandoned their pocket- handkerchief flelds on the mountain flanks. When such men left their little holdings they lost all and are nbw destitute. Those with money will be the merchants and other soft- handed folk to whom pioneer farm- ing might be as unsatisfactory as it would be to ourselves. 'Some, no | doubt, would be able to adapt them- selves to the new life, but for many it would be hopeless. If we can get Armenian settlers we will be no less fortunate than when we attracted the much-heralded Hebrideans. As for the others, the non-agriculturists, they are as desirable as any in their class and more anxious than any for a country in which to live at peace, ------------ COMMERCE WITH RUSSIA, A certain American senator went over to Russia this summer thinking to promote trade between the two countries, but came back much de- pressed. It was a country full of Bolsheviks and what not, and as for him, he would have nothing more to do with it, This has been practieally our own attitude, But we shall have an op- portunity to redeem ourselves when the Russian trade delegation visits us in a few weeks. the Soviet government, the delegates will be subject to a good deal of sus- piclon. But they come with the ap- proval of both the British foreign office and of the Canadian govern- ment. For the plight of Russia and of us all is likely to become increas ingly difficult until she is able to re- sume full commercial relations with the rest of the world. Russia, like Canada, is a grain country, and two good crops in suec- cession, with no possibility of export, have swamped her. She must export or be drowned in her flood of grain, But is it not to Canada's interest to keep Russian grain off the market? Even now Europe can scarcely ab- sorb the Canadian surplus and at a price which means the barest mar- gin of profit to the Canadian farmer, What will happen when quantities of the still cheaper Russian grain come on the market? Europe takes our cerfals so slow- ly, not because she does not need more, but because she cannot pay for more. Europe has her belt pulled in almost to the last hole. She can- not pay for more because of indus- trial stagnation, because she cannot sell enough of her products. But if Russia exports grain to western Europe she must needs be paid fn a corresponding value of Europes | Even when all humanitarian con- | | ~ 3 many | As officials' of | THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG manufactured articles.

He believes it was ignited by a cig- | arette stub thrown from the aero- plane. It is averred that other blaz- es less disastrous in that vicinity are chargeable to a like cause. If aviators are addicted to smok- ing, when on flight and carelessly fling overboard the butt ends of lighted cigars or cigarettes the re- sult claimed by the Ohio farmer would be possible. It would consti- tute a hazard against which the own- er of property could not of himself affectually guard. It would be a mat- ter to be governed by law in which the aviator would be forbidden to smoke or at least would not be per- mitted to dump overboard anything which might start a blaze. are too busy to smoke while in flight. We do not know as to. that, but we can see how in the future, if not now, the flight of an aeroplane over anything easily inflammable might become a hazard because of what might be thrown out. on trains hurl lighted butts out of windows. When folks become ac- customed to air travel it would be too much to hope for that they will abandon all the careless habits which they manifest now.

But it is sufficiently well known that many women have looked their best, and been entirely aware of that fact, after their heads were white. Tra- dition, to be sure, demands of grey bair a certain solemnity. The earlier world, assumed that greyness was at best the beginning of the end. But our expectation of life is so far ex- tended that there seems no definite relation between grey hair and ald age.--London Telegraph. Using the Sun. The caprices of our climate rarely permit of a long summer--why, then, hesitate to resort to so simple a device as extending dates to the uttermost limits, if by so doing we prolong it?

A middle aged chap after con- | siderable comment on the part of his {friends and advice from sources | nearer home, decided that perhaps |-he was too heavy and would attempt | to reduce his weight and waist line. Accordingly he went about it Sys- tematically and among other things | | attended a gymnasium. Here all his measurements were | taken, including height, height to be nearly three quarters of |an inch less than he had believed {it to be, and asked to have it taken | again. | The machine again measured it | the three quarters inches less. { | After the usual course of exercise | | during the winter, and the abstain- ing from starchy foods and liquids, he was examined again in the | Spring. His chest was larger, inches smaller, and he was twenty- [ive pounds lighter in weight. | When his height was taken he was | {a half-inch taller than at the prev- | | ious examination in the autumn. i He was sceptical | enough he had actually gained the | half-inch in height. {© Now can a middle aged man in- | crease his height?
