He represents in per- sonal capacity and in his personality all those fine qualities which Am- ericans admire and love." Not for many years has a member of British royalty achieved such gen- uine popularity among his people. The dash and pluck and democracy of the Prince of Wales have made an irristible appeal. The British es- pecially admire sportsmanship, and the Prince has shown that he is a good sport. The conservative old- sters condemn his recklessness, but they would be equally severe if he were a mollycoddle. The soldiers of the American Legion can greet him as a former comrade in arms, for he did his part in the winning of the war and recelved his baptism of fire,. It is pointed out that for the Prince to accept such an invitation would break all precedents. But young Wales has never seemed to be any more afraid of breaking a pre- cedent than of breaking his neck, ------------ ry A SERIOUS BUSINESS. How serious is matrimony? All around are evidences that the vast majority of men and women regard it with traditional gravity. What- ever disappointments have come to one or other party to the connubial partnership, they usually are con- cealed and so far as surface indi- cations go all is serene in the aver- age home, | An overruling sense of duty it may be that prevents the dislocation of many matrimonial bonds, caus. he wife or husband to endure the al- most unbearable. Other less res- pectable reasons may impel one to tolerate a galling condition, But the common impression given is that matrimony is regarded serious- y. It is well so, as may be concluded after reflection upon some of the con- spicuous failures brought forth in the news of the day. Yet we won- der when the seriousness of matri- mony takes hold of a lot of people. Obviously in all too many instances it is not within the period of court- ship when there is still time to avold error, If only after the wedding wife or husband begins fo learn about the other that which should have been ascertained before a matrimonial shipwreck is almost certain to ensut. How very serious matrimony is ap- pears from whatever angle the sub- ject is examined, No special warn- ing should be needed to impress this truth on any. -- THE CHICAGO MURDER TRIAL. The approaching trial of Chicago's two youthful murderers and kidnap- pers has so many interesting angles that is has already challenged the attention of all classes of readers. As the trial progresses, lawyers and laymen alike will be interested in the development and character of the defense. The prosecution has already shown its full hand and claims to have a "perfect case," proof against attack from any angle, There are many thousands of per- sons who are always attracted by the morbid in the criminal courts. On the present occasion the appeal is to many who ordinarily never fol- low such proceedings. The medical profession will be interested because the public has already been informed Labor party man in the parliamen- This party remains the largest sing-1 Labotites and Nationalists together | coupled with South African aspira- | JHE DAILY BRIT | of the intention of both sides to | present a phalanx of alienists and | experts in mental abnormalities.

Other lay followers of similar cases have scrib- ed absence of parental discipli a contributary cause of degene not specifically in the Chicago but in others that appear in \ daily news calendar. Many worthy men and women who recall their own youth feel that too much stress is laid upon the right of so-called self-ex- pression in the children of today. Then the question has been discussed as to whether or not abnormal pre- cocity should be encouraged or dis- couraged. The proud parent or teacher may unconsciously adminis- ter the virus of vanity with the stim- lant to greater achievement by a prodigy, and unless the latter is sup- er-human, distressing results may follow. So few of us observe the happy mean. These are some of the things that the Chicago trial is expected to furn- ish as food for thought on the part of the serious minded who follow its progress. PRESS COMMENT Women Police, One bad effect of the ridiculous anti-waste campaign was a reduction in the number of women police . . . Instead of reducing the number of women police they ought to have Increased it. Experience has shown that the women officers can do in- estimable service, especially among the members of their own sex and among the children generally. The functions of the ordinary police have become more preventive and less punitive than they used to be. Of the women officers fit may be said that their work is wholly preventive and that if they are carefully chosen and well organized they argea bless- ing to the community they serve,-- London Chronicle. . The Forgotten Man. ""The tendency is to impose bur- dens too heavy to bear upon the or- dinary citizen, 'the forgotten man,' who, toiling quietly at home, seeks ro favors, but asks only friendly pro- tection of a government that is just and fair."--Theodore Burton at Cleveland Convention. Who is to look after the interests of "the for- gotten man?" Who is to protect him from the encroachments of greedy minorities? Who is to defend him when his interests are menaced by frenzied radicals seeking to de- stroy the government to which he owes his security and from intellec- 4 tual anarchists who have been aptly termed moral idiots? In truth, "the forgotten man" is ome who forgets his own interests; who neglects to exercise the right of suffrage. He stays at home on election day, if he has not, indeed, forgotten to register, Mr. Burton very truly said that if "the forgotten man" does not rouse himself to combat the tendency of the politicians and greedy special groups and interests to impose crush- ing tax burdens upon him "we shall become a people abounding in pre- ferred classes, the burden of whose privileges must rest with crushing weight upon the great body of our citizenship."--Los Angeles Times. rs KINGSTON IN 1851 Viewed Through Our Files OPENING OF THE WATER !

You | can readily see the common sense then in the salutation. "How is your liver?" But in these days it Is not unusual te hear a couple of middle aged folks talk about their blood pressure It would appear that "operations" are not discussed to the same extent as they were. And so you'll hear one chap say "I'm cutting down a bit on my meats, as my doctor tells me my blood pres- sure is a trifle high." Another will say, that having had a number of attacks of tonsilitis, and his blood pressure being too high, his doctor is of the opinion that some of the inflammatory material has in- jured his arteries and taken some of the elasticity out of them. And so many of these people have begun to talk about their arteries as their tubing. If they can keep the elastic in the walls of the tubing in good shape, then their blood pressure will not go up any higher. As mentioned before, when the walls -get hard, fibrous tissue taking the place of the elastic tissue, natur- ally the heart has to pump the blood at higher pressure through these hard tubes, and the pressure goes up. The arteries might get almost like the hard stem of a clay pipe. In fact you have heard the expression that the arteries were like "pipe stems' -in some of our older people. And the greatest thing in the world to prevent hard arteries is to eat less food, and to take enough exercise to keep the intestine active. There are many other things blamed for causing hardening of the arteries, and it must be admitted that hered- ity is a big factor, but the physicians on this, and the other side of the water, are almost completely in ac- cord in stating that overeating and constipation are the most frequent causes, i paabubar ByB odwenDavies June 28. Those who can picture in their imagination the Montreal of 1817, with its 20,000 population cluster- ing along the river banks, can per- haps also picture the deliberations of the nine merchants who founded on this day, 1817, the first bank in Canada. It was the Bank of Mon- treal. It was a serious business, this breaking of new trails in the commercial world \and each of the founders had much at stake. They builded better than they knew. At that time no steamship had crossed the Atlantic, Canada's first railway was still in the future, Today the Bank of Montreal is one of the largest in the British Empire. Its 550 branches spread from Atlagtic to Pacific, and form part of a great nation-wide banking system which has penetrated every little settle- ment. No matter how small or how remote ash yo financial sqeurity is provided by one or other of the great chartéred banks of Canada.

Press dispatches from Luxor, describing daily the ob- jects removed from the tomb, and brought to the light of day after four thousand years, have had a few refer- ences to musical instruments, fifes, harps, and cimbals, as among the ob- jects thus uncovered. "Evidently," ran one line of comment, "the king was musical." & That Egypt was the musical school- master of the ancient world is con- ceded by all who have traced the art back through the centuries. The Jews in their period of bondage sat at the feet of the musicians of the Nile, and learned much of what was later brought to flowering in the time of Solomon and the Temple, when 4,000 musicians participated in ritualistic services. It is known that there was a popular as well as a sacerdotal music among the Nile people; indeed, it is be presumed that there, as elsewhere, music began with the people rather than with the priests. The character of the instruments used has long been known, not only from ancient carvings, but from examination of the instru- ments themselves. As to the nature of the music sung and played in the dawning of history there can be only conjecture, guided somewhat by the traditional airs of the Jews, and some other music believed to be of the ancient East. So far as re- search has been able to establish, mu- sical notation was unknown and melo- dies were passed on from individual to individual, and from memary to mem- ory. This is difficult to reconcile with the advancement and the high intelli- gence of the Egyptians. Scientists and art experts at the tomb of Tutank- hamen have been particularly impress- ed by the utility, as well as the beauty of objects unearthed there recently, and have become convinced that Egy- ptian civilization reached its zenith much earlier than has been recognized, If, in the course of further delving, one written phrase of Egyptian music can be found and deciphered, the dis- covery will be one of far more signi- ficance and world profit than the un- covering of another mummy of ano- ther king, the probability now excit- ing the tourists who, it is said, are crowding the hotels at Luxor. Life can never be restored to a mummy, but music once written down, never really dies, though it may, be neglected through countless centuries. It is there, to speak again, whenever one who knows its langage goes to it for its message, Even without a note of-written mu. sic from ancient Egypt known to be in existence, the possibility remains that in the store of melody of unknown ori. gin which has come down to the Wes- tern world through the Jews, there re- mains some fragment that would have been as an old song to King Tutank- hamen. --_-- P.

Hail is precipitation occurring in the form of more or less spherical balls of ice, "showing a typical con- centric structure when cut open, like the layers of an onion. Hailstones vary in size from tiny pellets to large balls or disks, two, three or even four inches in diameter. The size depends both on the intensity of the hail-producing conditions, and the extent to which the stones are melted in falling to the ground. A hailstorm is essertiallly an in- tense thunderstorm. The stors must furnish a sufficiently powerful ascending curent to carry drops of water or small balls of wet snow to a height where the air is cold enough to freeze them. The con- centric structure of hailstones sug- gests repeated accretions and freez- ing, as if the stope has been car- ried up and then dropped and cas. ried up again several times. Large hail stones may show seven or eight layers around a central core, and some with 20 to 25 layers have fall- en. Great thunderstorm clouds in- clude the necessary strong up-draft and turbulent air currents required for hail formation. Futhermore, measurements of the height of these clouds in the warm season show that their tops tower well up into freez- ing regions. ~ Roy Jones, Chapman, had two toes amputated in Belleville hospital.
