REPRESENTATIVES IN 0.8, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, Ais - MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1929 THE BRITISH MINERS' FUND There is an apparent growth of interest in the fund which is being sponsored by The Times in ald of the distressed and destitute British Miners, After a slow start the fund is growing more rapidly. Thanks to the lead set by the Oshawa Branch of the Cana- dian Legion in its fine contribution, and the generous effort of the Ontario Regiment Band in staging kl Sunday evening concert in aid of the fund; the total has grown splendidly in the last two or three days, Even yet, of course, the total is far short of what it should be for the city of Oshawa, The need of the destitute families in the mining districts is so great that words fail in trying to describe conditions, Millions of dollars will be needed to even touch the fringe of the great need, and it is only by the con- certed cflorts of the whole empire that anything like an adequate sum will be raised. The Canadian Legion has set a splendid example to other organizations in the city by its contribution, and it should help to stimulate other societies and clubs to follow its lead. The Ontario Regiment's plan of helping is also one well worth cmulating, for there is no appeal that could be made that would represent a greater or more pressing need. The fund is still open, and will be open for some time to come, Oshawa has not yet really begun to give. May this weck show that the citizens are rea- lizing the importance of the plea, and are willing to respond in a manner befitting'the community, ALBERTA COAL FOR ONTARIO The trade commissioner's branch of the Alberta government is following along the right lines in insti- uting a campaign that they should burn Alberta coal. Jt is admitted, without question, that it would be. a splendid thing if Canadian coal could be used to re- place United States anthracite in the Ontario market, There is a strong feeling, too, that it could be brought to Ontario from the west at a price which would make it sufficiently cheap to compete with the United States product. These things, however, are not enough, "The people of Ontario have first to be convinced that Alberta (RH its 'boundarigs, but these are tiscless until they are harnessed. The time is coming, and at a very carly date, when steps will uave to be taken to make still' greater developments in 'the field of water-power than have ever been made in the past, for the locating of the Noranda Smelter in Quebec is just one of those straws which show the direction in which the wind . is blowing. AN ULSTER MISTAKE The government of Ulster made a mistake when it permitted a charge to be laid against Eamonn de Valera for having crossed the Ulster boundary, en which charge he was sentenced to a month in jail, Nothing could have played more into the hands of the Sinn Fein leader than this act which makes him assume the guise of a martyr in the eyes of his own followers, And having had this 'effect, the result can only be to increase the bad feeling which exists between the Irish Free State and the people of Nor thern Ireland. Of course, De Valera was wrong in attempting to enter Ulster under any pretext. He knew from long experience what to expect, for he had on a previous | occasion been arrested for exactly the same thing. Probably arrest was the very thing he desired, for conditions in Ireland have improved so much une der the new state of affairs that the people were be- coming too well satisfied to pay much attention to preachings of Republicanism, In fact, De Valera was passing out of the lime light completely, He was being forgotten, and to a man of his temperament, that would be intolerable. This latest incident may have been a move to have the spotlight of publicity turned on himself again, so that he could stand forth as a martyr in the cause of an oppressed people, Had Ulster simply turned him Lack to the Free State, and let the matter 'drop quietly, De Valera's plan would have been defeated. But having been sent to jail, it is likely that the Sinn Fein leader' will make the niost of the incident, *Even today he is somewhat of a menace to the peace of Ireland, so it would have been far wiser to let him continue to remain out of they public eye, instead of having him placed anew on a pedestal by his followers.

The Times has ben using it for a great many months, W. E. N, Sinclair predicts an elec'ion before the end of the year. This causes the Border Cities Star to remark that if he is looking for- ward to it, he must be a glutton for punishment. Well, a good loser is always just as welcome as a cheerful winner, With both the government and the opposition introducing bills in the Ontario Legislature to amend the elections act, something fairly satis- factory should be evolved. Neither party, how- ever, will ever he able to evolve a bill to compel all the electors to vote in an election, coal will meet their nceds. That is the st g block in the whole plan, for there is a sales resist- 'gnce against Alberta coal which has to be broken down before it will ever be used to any great extent in this province. In other words, the people of Ontario have to be educated into using Alberta coal, They have to be told, by judicious publicity, of its good qualities, and how to handle it so as to secure the best results, "They have to be sold, not alone on the basis of price, but that of quality and results, . If there is any possible way of attaining that end, the Alberta commissioner is choosing the only direct way when he uses newspaper advertising to tell the 'people of Ontario his story. With its dense popula- tion, as compared with the west, Ontario can be so thoroughly covered by newspaper advertising as to create a desire to at least try the product, and if the advertising has the proper educafional aspect so far 2s the use of Alberta coal is concerned, it should have the effect of giving it a large share, at least of the Ontario market, THE VALUE OF POWER The announcement that the Noranda Company in- tended to build a large copper refinery created some- thing of a stir in mining circles last week, and for a day or two there was some speculation as to where this plant would be located. Naturally a plant of this nature and size would be a decided asset to any community fort: ugh to secure it. Finally, the matter was settled by the statement that it would be erected mear the city of Quebec. Why was that location chosen? The answer is mot hard to supply, especially after hearing the speech made at the Chamber of Ce ce meeting fast week. The reason is that in Quebec there are great developed supplies of water-power waiting to be fully utilized, and still greater potential water- waiting to be developed. : Power, and plenty of it at a great rate, is the chief essential of industry today. Without it, no commun- jty can hope for any industrial future. With it, there is mo limit to the expansion that is possible. Ontario 4s in the position that her developed power is mot sufficient at the present timc io permit of any large extension of the supply tho any one district. Indeed, the supply is so close to the requirements that it is sufficient at the present time to permit of any large extension of the supply to any one district. Indeed, the supply is so close to the requirements that it is being found necessary to secure. a large block of power from Quebec. Ontario, of course, has the power resources, within Other Editors' Comment -- PAYING BY DEATH (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Making a moving picture the other day a girl of 23 jumped from an airplane 2,000 feet in the air.

Now why is it that these immi- grants, parents and children, have such good teeth as compared ta our own citizens? Your physician will tell you that every cell in your body is made up from the food that you eat and that the teeth in Joi need certain kinds of food if they are to keep healthy. Growing boys and girls need sugar and. also need meat and eggs, but unfortunately pastry and candy often form a large part of their daily food intake. : Dr, L. O. Kappes, of Rochester, Minn, has made many observations as to the cause of decay of teeth, and tells us that the only feature that seems to be a definite factor in preventing decay of the .teeth is a diet composed largely of fruits and vegetables, And when you think it over you will remember that our European immigrants are large consumers of vegetables and fruit. _. Vegetables and fruits are so rich in mineral elements that we can readily see how they can supply the hard hone like teeth with the materi- als necessary to keep them in good condition, The lesson is obvious. We and our children should eat fruit and veget- ables every day, besides keeping the outside of the teeth clean with the daily application of the tooth bruch, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) JUMP IN BIRTH RATE Infant Mortality in 1988 Lowest on Record. London--Provisional vital stat- istics for the year 1928, issued by the Registrar-General, show that for England and Wales the births were 16.7 per 1,000, the death 11.7 per 1,000. This birth- rate is 0.1 per 1,000 above that of 1927, and the death-rate is 0.6 per 1,00 below that of 1927, and only 0.1 per 1,000 above the lowest ever recorded, viz, those in the years 1923 and 1926, Infant mortality for 1928 was 656 per 1,000 birth. This is the lowest on record being 4 per 1,000 births below that of 1923, hitherto the best year. Figures for London only (based on eivil popu- lation) were: Births 15.9 per 1,000 death, 11.6 per 1,000; infant mor- tality, 67 per 1,000 births.
