New York and Chicago, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1928 mT CANADA'S 1927 IMMIGRANTS According to the most recent official stat- istics, of the 158,844 immigrants admitted to Canada last year, 52,000 were British and 23,818 from the United States, The other 50 per cent, were Europeans, including 2,369 Belgians, 2,066 Dutch, 5,054 Finnish, 11,981 Germans, 4,440 Italians, 4,744 Jewish, 1,618 Jugoslavs, 7,681 Magyars, 8,248 Polish, 10,- 836 Ruthenians, 12,000 Scandinavians, 4,242 Slovaks, and 681 Swiss, The intended occupations given at the time of landing were as follows: farmers, 00,000; laboring class, 9,000; mechanics, 9,500; trading class, 5,200; mining class, 10,000; female domestic servants, 15,380; other classes, 26,500, This will test Canada's powers of assimila- tion somewhat, The Immigration Depart. ment keeps no statistics of how many Cana- dians emigrate to the U, 8, A,, whose places will make openings for the new comers, only of those returning to Canada from the U. 8, A,, who numbered 36,838, No count is kept of the numbers of im. migrants who settled on farms for them- gelves, or as hired help, If any fair per. centage of 90,000, the showing for the year may be accounted satisfactory, But it is to be feared that many of them drifted back to the towns and cities, in search of a job, The cost of the Department for the year, $2,878,939, would make cost of immigrants about $18 each, FLYING YOUR OWN PLANE i 'Anybody who can afford an expensive au» tomobile ought soon te be able to fly, In England, the De Haviland "Moth" has been perfected to such a degree that one can be bought for about $4,000, It will run 20 miles on a gallon of gas, and achieves a speed of BO miles an hour, The wings can be folded into such small compass that the plane can be stored in a garage, "One can learn to fly far more quickly and far more cheaply than one can learn to play the pi- ano," says a London writer--an unfortun- ate comparison, it would seem, for learning to fly is much easier than that. There are two difficulties in the owner- ship and operation of the light plane, how- ever, One is mechanical, It takes the ser» vices of an expert to keep the plane in order, The layman, even though he be a good me- chanic, is not always competent to judge as to safety, There are many parts to be watched, each having a limited life; and un- less they are renewed in time, flight may result in disaster, The second trouble lies in high insurance rates. It is natural that companies should consider flying a risky business, but the real difficulty lies in the fact that they have so little experience on which to base rates, Therefore they stay on the safe side and keep them high, With the accumulation of data, however, with constant improvements in the safety factor, and with a greater pum- ber of people becoming expert flyers, the in- surance companies will eventually be able to establish a just rate which will be much cheaper than any quoted today. The era of the flivver plane is in sight. REMOVING THE STIGMA The federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., right to it than New York City.

EDITORIAL NOTES Men are lucky, None of them can under» stand women, The first thing to do with a new car is wonder why the county doesn't fix the roads, el Well, this is the age of speed, But pay day is just as slow as ever coming around, And there are many clerks who have got- ten more out of life than many bank presi- dents ever will, Labor-saving devices for the home have multiplied, but any woman will tell the world she is so busy she doesn't know what to do. Bit of Verse SNOWSTORM The flakes descended; (Virgin in white, Courting adventure From the night.) They dance above The roofs and trees Flinging their laces To the breeze. And then alight With cool lips pressed Against the earth's Expectant breast. And earthly earth Without pretense Quickly destroys But still they come On dancing toes, Like petals shaken From 2 rose. Until each roof, Robed for the night, Is diademmed And powdered white. ~Kenpeth Abrams Fowler That Bop of By ames W. Barton, M.D. Registered in Aveivance with the Copyrigh 'My Jas. W. Bartom, M.D, SOME FAULS AHOUY MMABETES AND INSULIN One of the questions that at first would seem hard to answer is "why is the number of cases of diabetes increasing, despite the fact that insulin has been saving thousands of lives?" Dr. Rabinowitch, of Montreal, following over thirteen hundred cases for a period of three years before insulin was discovered, and for three years afterwards, has been able to prove that the death rate in this group dropped to une- fifth of what it was in 1921, just before insulin came into use. And "the death rate amongst diabetics requiring surgical treat- ment was 38 per cent in the year before the introduction of insulin, whilst four years later it was but § per cent, What then is the cause of the increase in diabetes generally? You will remember that during the war there was a great de- crease in the amount of sugar con- sumed, and the death rate from diabetes actually decreased. After the war with sugar plenti- ful, diabetes began to increase again, This then is partly the explana- tion of the increase in diabetes. As a matter of fact, sugar is a good food, perhaps the most eco- nomical food known. It gives heat to the body and relieves fa- tigue in the simplest and cheapest form possible. However, in North America, the consumption of sugar is now 100 pounds per person per year, or roughly two pounds per week each individual. And the unfortunate thing is that diabetes is found mostly in middle aged folks, just at the time when they are most valuable to the world. It would appear then that to re- duce the number of cases of dia- hetes it will be necessary to regu- late the intake of sugar and starches into the system. However, there is one point that bas not heen emphasized, and that is that food taken into the body cannot harm the hody ir it Is used, That sugar starches may usually be eaten in abundance providing the tissues can take care of them. How can completely? By making the muscles of the body use them. In other words hy exercise. The brisk walk outdoors ames of all kinds, even the more eisurely home exercise, will so use up this extra amount of sugar and starch taken, that diabetes may be avoided. So as has been said so often before, if you must satisfy your appetite for starches and sugars, be willing to use them up by ex- ercise, Remember it is the overweight folks who make up most of the number of diabetics. and these foods he used IT'S SPRING U'P NORTH Sault Ste.

THE WHIPPET RACES (Toronto Mail and Empire) The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has no war- mer admirers than dog breeders. Many of them wiil be at a loss to understand why the Ontario branch of the organization had adopted a resolution protesting against whip- pet racing. No whip or spur is used to make the whippet race. In fact, if he doesn't choose to run there is no way to force him. NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING (London Dally Mail) Sir Harold Mackintosh, of the toffee firm, declared at the dinner | of the Incorporated Society of Bri- tish Advertisers, Ltd.; "A business is known by its advertising, and if there is anything in which it 1s important to be in earnest it is in advertising. Humor is a necessary ingredient, so long as you get the public laughing with you and not at you. TI always believe that the press Is the best form of publicity." REVENUE FROM TOURISTS (Owen Sound Sun-Times) The hoastful publicity heing giv- en to the amount of revenue re- celved from tourists is likely to lessen the amount if it is hrought to the atention of the tourists. Most tourists are human enough to resent being financially exploited, while they are most willing to pay all reasonable charges for privi- leges of services. The published statement that last year the Ontario government had made a total of more than $600,000 from permits and licenses and its tax on gasoline, and that even larger revenue is expected from these sources this year is cal- culated to make the impression that tourists are a profitable asset, and to encourage their exploitation by the citizens of the province as well, There is far too much of that as it 4s, already. It should stop. THE VENUS MAN (From E. W. Howe's Monthly) Everyone finds different interest as he looks over the newspapers. An item which has interested nre for weeks concerned a fellow who proposed to fly to Venus: his impu- dence was so great that I chuckled over his literature. Why did he not announce he would tirst fly to France, and beat Major Lind- bergh's record? But he didn't: his first announcement was that he would fly to Venus! He proposes to enclose himself in a great steel shell, and somehow shoot himself to the star country. The Venus man was Something New also in that he did not seek to raise mon- ey: he said he had plenty, as bis plan was so simple and easy that no great amount of capital would be required; But, alas, this most impudent and original of men did pot s0 much as get a vaudeville en- gagement out of his scheme; nor did a magazine ask bim to write a piece.

To this suggestion the Stratford paper makes reply in these words: "It might be well worth while for the Journal to know that there are plenty of people in the Domin- jon who have not a garage around their premises because they never could afford to buy a car. And there are many others who have of- ten wondered if Ottawa does much else in the way of civic develop- ment than to think up schemes to be financed by the Dominion.
