Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1928 BOOSTING THE EMPIRE It is gratifying to learn of the interest that is being taken in connection with the British Empire Shopping Week by the mer. chants of Oshawa, as this issue of The Osh. awa Daily Times bears witness, 'During Empire Week, April 21.28, the products of the British Empire should have "first call," Since 1914 Canada's imports from foreign countries have risen from $298, 000,000 to $800,000,000 in 1927, Even dur. ing the last five years they have increased 82 per cent, That, in brief, is the reason for the cam. paign to encourage the purchase of goods made in our own Empire, The drive should encourage Oshawa people to buy, first, made in Canada goods; second, made in the Empire goods, Many imported articles are being produced in Canada, and many more are imported that can be produced from other parts of the Empire, Empire Shopping Week is good business for every citizen, and Oshawa merchants' ef- forts to purchase Empire products should have the support of every citizen, THE FIGHT FOR OIL The big powers have long been manoeuvr. ing with all the diplomacy and all the money at their command to gain control of the world's supply of oil and gasoline, and no man can foresee what the end is to be, 0il and gasoline are such vital factors in commerce that the nation which can com- mand the most when the others have dried up their sources of supply, will be able to dictate to the rest of the world unless science should evolve some new product for fuel and power, Many influential people in the United States are becoming very uneasy about the outlook for that country. The latest available figures of production show that the United States produces about seventy-two per cent, of the world's output and has only twelve per cent, of the reserve supplies. A situation that thinking people of the United States find hard to understand is that outside nations seem to have a pretty free hand to buy United States oil instead of be- ing told to keep out and use their own, For instance, last year the Roysl Dutch Shell Company, a British-controlled com- pany, took 5,798,267 tons of oil out of United States fields, which is nearly twice as much as it took out of its own principal field of supply, the Dutch East Indies, No less than 300,000 barrels of oil are exported from Cali- fornia to British concerns every month, Most of the eighty-eight per cent, of the orld's oil reserves are owned by two British- controlled compenies--the Royal Dutch Shell and the Anglo-Persisn--so it looks as if the British nation has gradually been getting 8 strangle-hold on this vital fluid, which will inevitably put them in a commanding posi- tion. New fields are being uncovered from time to time, but even then it seems only 8 ques- tion of years before the United States will have to go cap in hand and ask Great Britain for a drop of oil for its flivvers and for its industries and shipping. No wonder, then, that some people sre ask- fng for an embargo on export of oils. There is 3 moral in this for Canadas. Just how long will it be economically sound to export our fiational resources of lumber and minerals without restriction? The question of conserving our reserves should be thoroughly gone into. ; GIRLS AND ATHLETICS Discussion on what girls should or should not do mever loses its interest, and of one the most relentless phases of such discussion is that in regard to athletic sports. Follow- ing the decree by a few doctors, both men L] Another teacher declares that girls who play do not have time to powder their noses; they do not spoon along the road with young men so much, and when they marry they have more children than girls not addicted to sports, Meanwhile, although the popularity of athletic sports for girls is growing all the time, it is a little soon to prove either side of the case. HIGHER EDUCATION, A US, professor tells of a student, "20 years old who in five years had managed to get through a reputable high school, was prepossessing in appearance and manners, showing that his home environment was above the ordinary, wore good clothes, drove competently his own high-powered auto. mobile and was promptly initiated into one of his fraternities," yet could not do any bet- ter than this in a recent examination: Why has New York become the largest city in America ?--"Because of its size and wealth, It covers such a large area," You are hauling a load of lumber; the horses get stuck in the mud and there is no help to be had, What would you do ?-- "Go for help," Why should women and children he rescued first in shipwreck 7---'There ain't any rea. son," Why should people have to get a license to get married 7--'"There woiild be too many marriages." The U.S, professor confesses that this specimen of collegiate ambition is not unique and complains that the effort to impart a college education to such minds is worse than wasted, But the real question that must appear to every thoughful reader is how this youth of 20 "with a mentality of 1214 years" ever got into college? Are there no entrance examinations, or if the high school cerrtifi- cate is accepted as sufficient is there not need for some means of testing the aspirant's capacity for collegiate training? Perhaps that might solve the overcrowding of ap- plicants some institutions complain about, EDITORIAL NOTES When people marry for money that is all they get. All kinds of flowers get loved except wall flowers, What good is your past if you don't use it for the future? It is sll right to be sorry for something if it is not yourself, Bit of Verse LITTLE THINGS It's the little things we do That win love for me and you, Life's rush of many deed, Fame has endless hills to climb, Even faith has varied creeds, There are many forms of rhyme, But the need for kindness stays To the end of all our days. Love is in the thought we take For the ones the great forsake, In the summer flowers we pick, And the minutes that we spend In remembering the sick; In the little sums we lend, Love is in the simple goals Plays the friend and tries to be Thoughtful, generous and good, And, despite life's urge and press, Still finds time for kindliness, --Edgar A.

Not un- expectedly the vast majority plumped for Colonel Lindbergh, whose glamor was then at its apex, and whose career appesls strongly to every normal boy. It might be thought that if 150 girls of high school age were asked it they would like to become the hero's wife, there would be an over- Yheiming rush for the honour, Not ot the 150 girls at St, Stephen's college, Columbia, who were asked this question, 105 said "No." Some feared they would soon be widows if he continued flying. But the larger number of answers in- dicated that he was too popular, and that wero 8 girl to marry him she would be merely Colonel Lind- bergh's wite." In spite of all the llonizing. all the kissing, all the mash note writ- ing that followed his triumph and continued during the days of his early Wing the result shows that girls do mot like to be thrust into the background and become ciphers after marriage.

When 1 was in India at the Durbar of 1911 one of the maharanees from the South told Lady Bute that on would have bitterly to expiate hav- 'ing her temporary emancipation. After prolonged fasting and pras- er, she sald she would have to go for at least one day barefooted and in rags to the temple, there to und- ergo any humiliations the priests might put on her, The autocracy of the Ameer is not likely to per- mit such an experience to await Queen Surayya; but in the other case the Maharajah, who was de- voted to his wife, was unable to withstand the despotism of his own priests.

The interesting episode is but a forecast of what nrust within a very short time be recognized as a re- gular method of transportation. Al- ready in other sections of the coun- try the airplane is being used com- mercially and the acceptance of this means of carrying merchan- dise as well as passengers is be-| coming more widely recognized, The agitation for landing fields in many municipalities bespeaks an interest in aerial transportation. Already several Ontario cities have this facility and with the steady advance in aeronautics it is more than likely that aerial transporta- tion will soon be accepted as an ordinary occurrence.
