'give smuggling which makes its enforcement difficult. "We have 1,600 miles of coast- "line," she said, "with many bays "wo that smuggling is easy, We have treaties with our neighbors, . but the liquor is brought in ships "earrying the flags of distant coun- ""Yries, We are therefore anxious ""Jo extend these treaties and to ob- a Form "Union Alcohol-Free Culture" tain a universal through the League." Smuggling, she said, is also a problem in such countries as Dem- mark, Norway and Sweden, where the governments are attempting to control the liquor problem by high taxation. She was emphatic in saying that these countries are anxious to have the whole probl of alcohol dealt with by the Lea- gue, Asked whether the efforts of her country were confined mainly to suppression of spirituous li- quors, she said that prohibition in Finland included wine, but that at present they were saying little abqut it in order not to antagoniize win®-producing countries. "We are not trying to force pro- hibition in other countries," she said, "but only trying to see to it that the laws of countries having prohibition are generally respect- ed." convention STATE UST GUARD NONTREAL WILL BE |<=2c5 AIR NAL TERNAL HEALTH, SAYS DAVID Tenth Convention of French Speaking Surgeons Opens in Quebec Quebec, Sept. 7--"The first duty of the State is to protect the life of its citizens.

P'S George H, Hall, Miner Him- self, Gives Luncheon Address Timmins, Sept, 6,--"We want willing men to go to a willing Do- ® minion, ready to assist them." In ® such words George H, Hall, him- gelf a Welsh miner, stated the case of the British miners at a luncheon given to delegates of the Empife Parliamentary Association by the Hollinger mine, Previously the delegates had gone down to the 2,100-foot level of the Hollinger workings, Dress. ¢d in rubber overalls and carrying carbide lamps, the delegates look- ed very different from the parlia- mentarians of official receptions, Mr, Hall declared that the peo- ple of the Old Land were not dis- couraged, He did not know of any country in the world that would face its financial troubles as the Mother Country, but she had to meet a great burden of taxation and her greatest difficulty was the shadow of unemployment, There. were 1,800,000 unemployed, Over 1,000,000 had heen unemployed al- most every week for the past 7 years, ' "Fifty per cent of the people living in one portion of my divi- slon are unemployed," Mr, Hall stated, He instanced an adjacent mining district where 84 per cent, were unemployed and the men were not unemployed because they did not want work, Miners, Mr, Hall asserted, were not lazy people; they were not work shy. If they saw a reason able prospect of getting their live- lihood in Canada or in any of the nother Dominions, they would not hesitate to come and bring with them the labor which the Domin- tons meeded, Mr, Hall thought § that the Dominions should give as- sistance, "I hope," he sald, *'that the question of finance is not go- Ming to be the greatest question, Capada and the other Dominions must realize that their financial burdens are not nearly so great as A CARGO OF THRILLERS (From Detroit Saturday Night) E Commander Byrd, so it is report- Bed, will take with him to the South Pole a thousand-volume library with which the crew of the Sampson may while away the dull hours. What immediately impresses the casual reader is the fact that the expedi- N tion's literary rations run chiefly to adventure, and while the writings of Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Milton, Shakespeare and Francis Bacon are among those present, the works of Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, oseph Conrad, Dumas and Rex Seah are very much in the ma- jority, Offhand, it would seem that the appetite of "the Byrd expedition for adventure would be more than sati- ated by its own experiences and that reading even the most rousing lit- erature would prove pretty tame. But, after all, the adventurous and romantic life is not what it seems, In reality, the actual participants live pretty much like anybody else. Even the wildest and woollest cit- izens of the old west led very dreary existences, by their own admission, The soldier, the sailor, the explorer may have his exciting moments, but they come only as occasional re- spites from a life as drab and un- eventful as that of the solidest mer- chant on Main street. The Byrd expedition is in for plenty of adventure, but between ad- ventures there will be long and weary waits; in which event there is no better substitute than a library with thrillers on its shelves, Somebody has hinted that Hoover isn't a true Iowan, but his record proves that he is.

EE ning Addresses More than medical men from Canada and the United States, the immense majority of them French. speaking, gathered in the large con- vention hall of the Chateau Frontenac to hear addresses by Dr, Sag oh Dagneau president, Hon. L. A. Da- vid, Major Auger, Mer. Camille Roy and the report read by the General Secretary, Dr, Joseph De Varennes. As in every formal opening of a convention of this kind, there were no papers presented nor scientific de- bates Wednesday morning. Many of the visiting doctors had trouble in being provided with ho- tel accommodation, Thousands of tourists are at present in Quebec, and there is also a life insurance convention going on; rooms are hard to be found and it is expected that those delegates who will arrive later may have to waste hours in a trou- blesome search.

Social functions, includ- ing a reception at Government House, luncheons and dinners, and special entertainment for the ladies, here will be clinical visits to the hospit- als, presentation of papers, technical debates, and displays of various sur- gical cases, Diphtheria, mental hygiene, and children's ailments. occupy the most rominent place on the program, Fheory is to be strengthened by prac- tice, and statistics will be presented in every instance. Every school of medical thought is represented in the conventions; traditionalists, and modernists, supporters of the French methods, and those who studied un- der British or American masters. Quebec and Montreal, New England, the Maritimes and Ontario have sent delegates in numbers, Wednesday afternoon, while the ladies drove to Boischatel Golf Club for tea, the delegates heard papers on obstetrical Problems. Professors Jeanin and Caouette, doctors L.

St. Catharines is known thr Canada as the "Garden City," it -is remarkable how many who enter our portals remark on the cleanliness of this It is true we have a few streets and sections which could be im- oved, but on the whole, citizens respond to the ho tural ef- fort. The membership in the St. Catharines Horticultural Society, however, is not commensurate. There is one very remarkable thi about growing flowers and shrubs.

It is expected that the structural steel-work will be finished in four or five days and the placing of the mooring head will get under way. This is being done by an English firm. The mast now reaches to a height of 175 feet and when fin- ished will approximately tower 185 feet above the ground. Postmaster Victor Gaudet said that the Albany, New York-Montreal air mail service is expected to begin on or about September 15. No definite date-has been forwarded to local au- thorities, he stated.

Bennett of St. Thomas, an author- ity on flowers and parks. "One might go even further and say that from a business standpoint alone, the planting of trees, plants, shrub- bery and flowers is an endeavor handle it for a long time, as an tial, but in the course of time they receive from enthusiastic neighbors the choicest of plants, bulbs and roots. Evers. perennial garden, of course, needs thi at times, but one lover of does not like to monopolize the Dleasurs, but prefers to see it spread own the whole street. And it is so everywhere. ; There was a time when the civic expenditure in St. Catharines on parks was practically all for one park, but the expenditure now un- der the commission is spread out and all parts of the city are receiv- ing full value for every dollar spent. There should be and there is great appreciation of the Memorial Park. One has only to see other War Memorials to realize the beauty of our own, and that beauty is enhanced by the background of flowers and shrubs.
