BETTER STREET LIGHTING One of the things that mayor-elect Mitch- ell advocated in his recent campaign was the improvement of street lighting in the city of Oshawa. Those who have lived in Oshawa for some years may have become accustomed to the present conditions, and may be under the impression that the street lighting in this city is on a par with that of other cities of similar size. However, such is not the case. Reference to the last annual report of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of On- tario shows conclusively that Oshawa fis sway down the lis in the matter of street lighting. We have taken from this report almost at random a list of twenty cities and _ large towns, all of which have from two to four times the number of street lights in proportion to population that Oshawa has. The cost per capita also indicates that Osh- awa is spending much less for street light- ing than other places. The list is as follows: EEE 1 EBRERERRE! gs 8 RE RERRBBRRR RBSR Bk A study of the foregoing list should con- wince anyone that Mr. Mitchell's reference to street lighting was well founded and was mot simply election propaganda. We think the City Council of 1929 should take this question up seriously, and should not simply put in a street light here and there when an mngent application is made by the residents of that vicinity, but should study the whole guoblem, and, if mecessary, should practi- There is as much room for improvement in the downtown area as in the outlying sec- | M td ~ They constitute a tions, Most cities of "the size of Oshawa have ornamental street lamps that greatly the business places more attractive, Per. haps something of this sort could be worked out on a local improvement basis, SHATTERING A BELIEF © For generations it has been the general belief of scientists and laymen that "like be- gets like" in the animal kingdom as well as in the vegetable world.~ It is true that the Darwinian theory of tite evolution of the human race suggests that man once may have been an ape-man, but' Darwin never taught that thistles could be made to pro. duce figs, or that the progeny of a pair of elephants ever turned out to be white mice, On the basis of this theory that "like be- gets like," it has been supposed that among human beings the strong, mentally or phy sically, would beget strong children, and the weak beget weak children, Now, however, there are scientists who say there is nothing in the belief of eugenists that like produces . like and that inferior people produce inferior children, They insist that the eugenists in preaching such propositions are doing their cause harm, : This question has been discusséd pro and con so long and so zealously that the laity has given up hope of ever arriving at an answer, But the layman does know from personal experience that very often the most superior parents have very inferior children and inferior parents have superior children, The eugenist theory may be watertight, but it is' no guarantee unless there is not a rot. ten limb on the whole family tree, AUTOLESS LAND Bermuda, indomitable against the ad- vance of the motor age, intends to remain 8 sweet retreat for horses and haters of gasoline, Her latest ultimatum was in the form of decisive defeat for a measure which would have permitted the use of sutomo- biles by physicians for professions! pur. poses, Great de luxe hotels, magnificent yachts in her harbors, beautiful golf links, radios in sll her homes and modern howitzers on her defenses--all these signs and symbols of the twentieth century she has adopted.

Barton, M.D. WHEN COLD BATHS HELP, I have written before about the mistake some folks make in taking the early morning cold bath, espece inlly In cool weather, Toaifestolt being that the blood press! is low at this time, and the loss of more anima] heat at this time, while it gives a nice reaction temporarily, nevertheless loaves these individuals tired by 10 o'clock. However this dnes not mean that you cannot gradually ac- custom yourself to tho morning cold bath, The suggestion was that if en» ough warm water were put in the bath to ahout cover tha ankles, the cald shower could be taken by al. most everybody, . However where cold baths sre used In treatment, us at Battle Creek Sanatarium, Dr, W, H, Rilay points out that much benefit may be derived therefrom. The baths are usually sgbout nne minute apd the water 56 to 90 degrees F, They produce two results, First, there is a depression bes cause It depresses the activity of the tissues, and organs of the body to which it js applied. Second, Is an exciting effect which stimulates the functions and tissues of the organs, It is of course this stimulating effect which is beneticial, These beneficial effects are brought about through the nervous system, When impressions of cold are made upon the skin, nerve impuls- os travel to the spinal cord and brain. These impulses set up im- pulses in cord and brain, and they send out impulses to the internal organs thus stimulating the action of the internal organs. Dr. Riley tells us that 8 pale in- elastic skin, with the circulation of the blood much below poral, can be stinrulated and its nutrition im- proved by the cold bath in a way that nothing else can do. The tone of the muscles of the body'is improved by this short cold kath, and an actus] increase in the muscle's ability to work has been definitely shown.

With the lungs, as you know, the first half minute the cold bath in- creases rate of the breathing, and ft becomes irregular and shallow, but fn the second half minute the bresthing becomes regular and deeper and the lungs more ecom- pletely filled with air. However Dr. Rilay warns us pot to take the cold bath when the bogy Is already cold, when the body fs tired, or in conditions of shock or collapse. In heart or kidney afl- ments the cold bath is unsafe. Also that neither very young or very old individusls should take these short cold baths. (Registered in accordance with # Copyrright Act.)

Arthur Henderson, Rt. Hon. J. Wheately, and David Kirkwood, Labor members of the House of Commons, were to have addressed the meeting. Immediately they appeared upon the platform, there were roars of derision and shouts of "spy." "murderer," "traitor." Kirkwood jumped dowa from the platform and rushed to the middle of the hall. He removed his spectacles and commenced buttoning his coat in a manner which suggested that there was trouble ahead for someone. The stewards surrounded him and persuaded him to geturn to the platform.
