WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1927 MAN IS STILL SUPERSTITIOUS Of all the superstitions with which igmor- Cant man likes to plague himself, probably none is more popular that the belief in cer tain ways of foretelling the future. In all times there have been arbitrary devices which clever manipulators used to deceive those who longed to know what would hap- pen next year, Modern man laughs at the ancients who were taken in by such trans- parent methods of prophecy, but most mod- erns have periods of playing at a belief in fortune-telling cards, astrology or the ouija board, During the war, and in the two or three years immediately following, the ouija board was revived, not only as a method of fore telling coming events, but as a means of communicating with the spirit world, William Fuld, who is credited with the in- vention of the toy, manufactured it by thousands in a factory in Baltimore, His instructions for the use of the board as- sumed belief in a disembodied intelligence which moved a miniature three-legged table over a board on which the letters of the al- phabet were printed, Two players, with hands lightly posed on the triangle, watched it slip about from one letter to another, spelling out the answers to their questions, Persons of a scientific turn of thought are astounded at the credence which many have put in this little game, Both players will of- ten declare, while their sincerity beams from their honest eyes, that they are not guiding the little heart-shaped table over the polish- ed board, For those whe want to believe in it there is no more chance of dissuading them that there was in the days of the old planchette, which wrote out its answers with a pencil inserted as the third leg, Man is slowly escaping from his inherit. ed superstitions, though every generation produces a fad that is 99 per cent supersti- tion, They are new manifestations of old superstitions, not new superstitious beliefs, ADVERTISING: TWO KINDS Community advertising must begin with business advertising, That 'is, no program of advertising the community in other cities and states can succeed if merchants and other business men do not advertise them- selves to their own townspeople, Advertis- ing begins at home, How cana town or city hope to tell, con- vincingly, the outside world of its advan- tages for business and residence before it has convinced its own citizens of the exist: ence of those advantages? How can a busi- ness hope to attract foreign trade before it .has sold itself to its domestic trade? After advertising has given the commun- ity prosperous and progressive business es- tablishments, the community is ready to ad- vertise itself abroad, In fact, an attractive and prosperous business district is the best community advertisement, Cities are known by their stores, Stores are known by their newspaper advertising, Every business and professional man owes it to himself, to his community and to the public to advertise," He is entitled to the pe- cuniary rewards; the community is entitled to the valuable advertising thus gained; and the public is eniitled to the information con- veyed by the advertisements and to the pres- tige they give the nome town. If a man has anything the public wants, he should broadcast the news. If a com- munity has something the world wants, it should broadcast the news, Business men an.) communities that want to grow cannot 2..0:d to be isoiationists. Neither should they be loath to talk about themselves. For the good of all they should show their virtues 2.4 blessings from the housetops, or rather 2. «tise them in the newspapers, which is i... w.oucra equivalent. GAS FC.. ALL Ln cxperiment in Germany is being watched with keen interest mot only by en- gineers but by economists and labor leaders. Gas generated at coal mines of the Rubr and plan for the generation of energy at the mine mouth and its distribution over distances as great as any thus far reached by electric transmission lines. Engineers have dismiss- ed as impractical the scheme for generating electric power at the mine mouth for distri- bution over large areas. At least up to this time such schemes have encountered insup- erable obstacles, But there are no such ob- stacles in way of long-distance distribution of gas, There is nothing visionary in the Ruhr scheme, Gas-pipe lines several hundred miles long are already in existence, Two lines, each 800 miles long, already carry Wes. Virginia gas into Ohio and Pennsyl- vania, Kansas City is soon to be connected with the Texas gas fields by a gas main 4560 miles long and capable of delivering 100, 000,000 cubic feet of gas a day, Though the public may be under the impression that electricity is taking the place of gas, con. sumption of gas in the United States has in- creased 8756 per cent, in the last two decades and is expected to increase five fold in the next twenty years, ~~ THE COST OF THOUGHTLESSNESS To forget, as to err, is human, The mos. thoughtful people sometimes act unthinking. ly, and a gooa memory does not save one from forgetuing, on occasion, that which ali should know, These human failings explain the frequency with which good citizens un intenivionaly hurt their community by woru or deed, Many patronize mail order houses and out- of-town stores, in though.lessness, not real- izing that in doing so they are hurting their own community and personally losing' more than they gain, It has never occurred to them that this money never comes back, while if it were given to home business a large percentage of it would remain in the community, binging employment, civic im- provement and prosperity, The knocker is often a potential booster lacking in act, Knowing the comuuunity's shortcoinings, he would be a community as set if he would enthuse over what the hom: town can do, insteau oi harp on what it ha. failed to uo, 1he one mewnou stimulates the commuity, tue olner depresses it, 'Lnat is why tae booster is popular and the knocker unpopular, ailivug NOW ludy be suwivillg for esvic pevterment, ANOviicr Cullhaavs 0M OL communi, Luougailessness and iorgetiulness is known B8 MACK OL LOLE sab, Mails did bun aio dis wUllag Wo mu Lue Lie preseill Willout vOOUE GL 104 Lue Lule. speni ior SCHOO did Webeh oBLVILE WiC & ACW yea.

Bit of Verse THE EXPECT BIG CUT IN EXPRESS RATES Schedule is Filed With the Railway Commission By Companies Montreal, Dec. 27.--A handsome New Year's gift to the people of Canada is indicated in the an- nouncement of reduction of rates charged by express companies of Canada for shipment of packages up to 15 pounds in weight and not over 33% feet in length, width or depth which has been issued and filed with the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada by C. N. Ham, chairman, Express Traffic Association, This reduction is of importance to those shipping smaller parcels and represents an important saving on previous rates in force. It goes into effect on January 1, and it includes a continuation of the ar- rangement under which the ex- press companies give protection against loss and damage up to $50 Witham extra charge on such par cels, The reduced rates are caleul ated upon packages ranging from 6 pounds or less, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 to 15 pounds inclusive. The three Maritime Provinces are grouped as one. Between points in the same province the rates are 60 cents, according to weight. Be: tween points in adjoining provinces the rates are from 40 cents to a maximum of 80 cents. Between points in more distantly separated provinces the rates are from 30 cents to a maximum of $1.55 for the longest haul for th: maximum weisht of 15 pounds. Do Not Apply in All Cases Goods prohibited under tae regulations aud to which these re duced charges will not apply are money, bonds, bullion, securities, live animals, birds, chicks, fowls ete., iced goods and liquid oils or grease unless packel in sufficient absorbent material to fully absorb contents should container be broken, and articles having sharp pnints or edges unless points or edges are sufficiently cushioned to prevent cutting their coverings. Shipments covered by the new rate reductions will be such as are entirely enclored in packages, crates, cartons or boxes, contain- ing goods not prohibited or stated in the above list Charges will be assessed on each package and comyined weights of separate packages will not be per- mitted, Further, all charges speci- fied by the rate reduction circular are marimum charges applying to each package regardless of classi- fication rat.ngs, If the charge in other tarif.s in effect is lower, sush lower sharge will be applied, Effect in Toroato The Toronto .iontreal rate ranged in the old schedule from a m.sanum of 66 cents to a maxi- mum, for 15 pounds pahkages, of 76 ce..is. A suipper sending goods to Winnipes paid 45 ceuts for on: pound and 1,70 tor 15 pounus. If the goods went to Calgary, the charzes were 65 cents and $2.16 respectively, One pound, deliverel in Regina from ioronto, cost its sender 456 cents, Iiiteen pounds on the same haul were assessed $1.90. To send a pound of his good: to Vancouver by e press, a local mec. chant formeriy paid 55 cents, Iifteen pounds co.t hi. $2.75.

He is re- ported to have said that if the irrita- ting interference Ly well-meaning persons overseas in the native af fairs of South Africa does not cease "it may one day cost the British Em pire the greater part of what is now included in the Union of South Af rica." Following so close vrpon the controversy over the flag it is pos sible that more importance inay be attached to his statement than Mr. Hertzog intended. A man who has risen to the position of Premier of such a large and important Dominion must have more of the qualities of a statesman than to threaten rebel ion over amaginary interferences. from 30 cents to a maximum ot' the local ofiices of thei: ghi beat tie vet- | Tony Lombardo, Toledo lightweight, 'SNOWPRIFTS 16 FEET HIGH BLOCK ENGLISH ROADS Traffic Stranded While Re- mote Villages Suffer from Lack of Food London, Dec. 27--It has been for- tunate for King George's subjects, snowed-up in a most unprecedented manner this Christmastide, that the fates decreed that his Majesty, as though in prescient anticipation, would have proclaimed one extra day national holiday. This extra day has been a real boon, not only for humble workers, to enable them to stay at home until the worst aspects of the blizzard were partly obliterated, but also for the weather classes, marooned in distant parst of the country by snow- clogged roads, impassable for mo- tors, Sharp Frost Ensues By the time business resumes to- morrow, locomotion, at least in the towns and cities, will again be pos- sible wwithout extreme discomfort such as was experienced yesterday and today. Though the blizzard continued in some of the southern and eastern sections of England this afternoon, a sharp frost set in to- night and hte snow ceased. Many stories are coming to hand of automobiles, omnibuses and other vehicles stranded on country roads in huge snowdriits, of remote villages isolated and suffering from lack of food supplies, of farm animals need- ing to be dug from the drifts; while the strange sight was witnessed, even in London, of adventurous souls walking the streets skis and snowshoes, In a few short days England has experienced rain and snow a silver frost and a blizzard. In some dis- tont places driits as high as 12 to 16 feet are reported. The coast towns have suffered severely from the force of the gales, and conditions prevailed today on the French as well as the British shores of the Channel which com- pelled stoppage of various sea and air scryices. There is still danger of serious floods in the Thames Valley and elsewhere when the snows melt, That Pody of Pours ae W : Ba ton, M.D. on ..ezlsered in accordance with the Co_yright Act, OR} INSULIN AND OF LIVER (B, Jas, W, Barton, M.D.) Like e.ery other medical discov- cy, insulin has received adverse o.xment because it has not cured every cas2 of diabetes, The fact that is has actually cured diabetes n youn<y peop'e has been proven, and this in face of the fact that in the young, diabetes formerly was practically always fatal, In fol's up to middle age, insu- lin is arrc:ting diabetes, and these liv duals are able to go about heir work in life, aided by small ses of insulin dally, In fact, many of them, by watch ng the d'et, have been alle to ge: ony without insulin, In the fo1"s past m'ddle age. in 'ulin has not always been success- VALULD same chance he because vears have ta' "e tissues, and heart and kidney ents o":a ¢ cate matters he very fact thot insulin helr » the younz and thos? under mid »a~e where it thus gots a chanee to take the place of the natural see"nn of te pan eas, is ample | oof of its ability to arrest dia- etes, Shniarly the use of liver extracts » contro] blsed pressure has been hiected to eritie'sm.

P. Fuentz, con- victed of murdering his daughter and his illegitimate granddaughter. The prison sentence was a mere formality in recognition of the second crime; the death sentence will be executed, Fuentz murdered his daughter's child shortly after its birth last June in Managua, Cuba. He strangled the baby to death and buried it in his yard. The body was exhumed and Fuents was ar- rested charged with the murder.

This man, who refrained from re- porting what he had heard at: the time, feeling that it could not pos- sibly be the Dawn, gave his infor- mation to the local authorities to- night after reading the latest reports on the missing aeroplane, when he realized the possibility that what he heard might have been the lost am- phibian, The informant is an official of an important local financial institution, He said the sound of the motor indi- cated that the plane had passed over coming from the southwest, and re- ceded as though the ship had taken a northeasterly course, - He is confi- dent that what he had heard was the hum of an aeroplane motor. Sheriff MacLean of Shelburne, also stated today that on Saturday morn- ing, about 2 o'clock, he had heard the sound of an aeroplane passing over Shelburne. He bad been awake ened from sleep by the sound of the motor, and it seemed that the aerae plane had appeared from the souths west an dpassed toward the northe east, he said. He had not left his bed to see if the plane was visible, New York, Dec. 27.--The graves yard of the Atlantic, that turbulent stretch of water around Sable Island, N.S, failed to divulge today whether or not it had added to its list of vies tims the names of Mrs. Frances Wile son Grayson and her three-man crew of the amphibian plane Dawn, All day long the navy dirgible Los Angeles sailed above the waves, two navy destroyers and three Coast Guard destroyers plowed through them.
