D Tresidder, repredentative REPRESENTATIVES IN U. 8. Pcvers and Stone, Inc. New York and Chicago WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1930 A BLOW FOR ALBERTA COAL There will be much disappointment, both in Al- berta and in Ontario at the ruling of the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners that Alberta coal cannot be hauled to this province at a cost of less than $8.23 a ton. This is the finding which has been made as a result of experimental shipments of coal from the west, and it is a figure $148 higher than the rate which experts believed necessary in order to have Alberta coal shipped profitably to Ontario, It may be that this ruling will end, for the time being, the strenuous efforts which have been made to open up in the east a market for the coal of Al- berta. It has been felt that Canada ought to make "every effort to secure its coal supply within its own borders, instead. of spending millions of dollars yearly 1 the United States, It has been esti- mated that, with a rate of $6.75 a ton, it would be possible for Alberta coal to undersell the Pennsy!- vania product that is used so much in Ontario, thus opening up the way for a large market in this pro- vince. With this rate declared impossible, ror the railways cannot be expected to handle the traffic at a loss, the door is shut on the Alberta coal operators, and other means will have to be devised to find a way out of the difficulty of securing a large enough market to keep the mines busy for a reasonably long season cach. year. Meanwhile, Ontario will contint on United States coal, and ma will flow south. across the border 3 deplorable situation, but it is one of the handicaps unt of the for coal {1 » be dependent illions of dollars year. It is a cacy ander which the west has to labor on acc veographical layout of this country, IT DOESN'T PAY The newspapers in .these days are providing abun- dant proof of the folly of people who violate the {aws and suffer for their misdeeds. The sensationg] Hatry case in England was a typical example of a man, highly respected and esteemed, falling a victim to crime, and earning a severe penalty--fourteen years imprisonment. In Ontario, there are several stich cases, of men of high standing in their commun- itis, becoming involved in wrong-doing on a large scale; perhaps hoping they would escape 'detection and punishment, and being sentenced to long peni- tentiary terms. One would imagine that the wide publicity given to these cases would act as a deterrent to those who might be tempted to acts of fraud on their fellow- men. Even if the guilty parties manage to escape with their ill-gotten gains without, their defalctions being found until after they have gone, they have their punishment just the same. Men of that type do not fall into crime without having hauntings of sonscience, for they are different from hardened criminals. So, wherever they may seek a hiding place 'from the long arm of justice, they will always have with them that fear that any moment a hand may 'be laid on their shoulder, and they will be brought "pack to answer for their misdeeds. So, whether the guilty persons are caught or not, crime never pays. It has its reward, either in a 'penitentiary sentence, or in a haunted life. And the Hatter punishment is every bit as bad as the former, There may be something laudable in an endeavor 'fo acquire wealth, but when that desire crowds out honesty, and induces a man to defraud others by il- fegal means to sccure his ends, then he must be ready to face the inexorable penalty which surely fies in store, for him. : eee DEVELOPING MUSICAL ART * Ee One often reads of railways playing an important 'part in the development of a country, but this is "usually associated with material progress, with the . 'development of natufal resources and the opening up of new territory. In Canada, however, of the two great railway systems, there Is the unusual factor the Canadian Na- tional Railways and the Canadian Pagific Railway, avin an important part in another type of devel [pasite. the ont of musical culture. i gh its' radio 'programs, featuring the out- nding Canadian musicians, both vocalists and in- peirtentatists, the CNR. has brought the finest of $a isal art that Canada has to offer into the homes ea) = adian people, to deepen their appreciation 3 ' of what Canada is doing in the musical world, and to entertain them with programs of the very finest calibre. $ | The C.P.R, on the other hand, has taken the line of holding great musical festivals in various parts of the country, featuring folk music of the various.ele- ments of the Canadian people, and bringing the beau- ties of Canada's national music within the reach. of all, Music is one outstanding way of expressing the soul of a nation. And Canada is being given a won- derful opportunity, through these two great agencies, to develop a musical culture which will be worthy of a young and vigorous country. It may not be ex- actly the kind of work one would expect railway companies to undertake, but in doing so these two. great systems are making a contribution of untold value to the cultural life of the Dominion, THE NEW NORTH An interesting example of how Canada's agricul- tural belt is gradually being extended, and an indi- cation of how suitable for agriculture is much of the land formerly considered too far north to bother about, is found in the annual report of the govern- ment experimental farm at Fort Vermilion, Alberta, a point three hundred miles north of Edmonton. There was no indication of crop failure at that northern outpost of the grain belt. Wheat ranged from 21 to 54 bushels per acre, oats gave a yield of from 86 to 116 bushels per acre and barley yielded as high as 73 bushels per acre. Farm work was started on April 24, and harvesting of the earliest variety of wheat began 192 days after sowing. Mar- quis wheat, probably the most used on the western prairies, was ready for harvesting in 112 days. These are astonishing figures, and they show. that the north-western country has far greater possibil- ities for agriculture than anyone dreamed a few years ago. The land is fertile to the highest degree, and seems to be ready for a great invasion of set- lers. With proper transportation ficilities, there is no reason why this northern territory should not pro- vide a great new adjunct to the bread basket of the world. BRITAIN'S CONTRIBUTION . The Stratford Beacon-Herald, in a very enlighten- ing editorial, calls attention to the great contribu- tion which Great Britain has already made to the cause of naval disarmament. There 'are few people in this country who fully realize the drastic way in which the British navy has been reduced since the war. Even on the basis of the 1914 figures, which were lower than the strength of the navy in 1918, the comparison shows so great a reduction as to be astonishing. It will be surprising to most people to learn that in 1914 Britain had 8) eight-inch gun cruisers, while today she has only eleven, In 1914 Great Britain had 69 capital ships: today she has: 20. : In 1914 Britain had 11 cruisers with guns under cight inches; today the number is 43. In 1914, Great Britain had 74 submarines; today there are 53. This is evidence of practical disarmament which takes on importance in the light of discussions at the naval conference. It is just a question, as Pre- mier MacDoanld has pointed out, of how far Britain can go in further reducing her navy, It may be as sumed, of course, that this has been given careful thought, but surely the other countries of the world should be prepared to take cognizance of this record and be willing to emulate Britain's splendid example in naval reduction. THE TOWNSHIP CLERK (St. Marys Journal-Argus) A member of the rural community who occupies an important and exacting position is the township clerk, He must be well posted in township affairs, municipal law and procedure, so as to be equipped to carry out his duties efficiently and at the same time to act as guide, philosopher and friend to un- informed reeves and councillors, His duties, which have already been considerable, have increased from year to year, owing to the grow- ing intricacy of our municipal system and the exact- ing requirements of provincial departments in the filling out of various reports. His job requires intel ligence, training and a lot of work, Unfortunately, in some instances the township clerk is not rewarded with a salary commensurate with his services. It is a serious reflection upon either the intelligence or the sense of fairness of township councils where they expect the duties of clerk to be efficiently performed for a mere pittance. / EDITORIAL NOTES A young New York pessimist says that the ideal girl does not exist. Which leaves a nice opportunity for an application of the fable of the sour grapes. The Liberals will probably have a clear majority in the Senate in the next session. Thus Senate: reform has at last been achieved by Premier King. Kitchener Record: The weather man is so-called because he gets his pay whether he guesses right or not. The Bank of England is going to help British houses sell on the instalment plan. There is no doubt whatever that production is speeded up in that way. / Ramsay MacDonald in a tweed suit and Fedora met the American delegates in plug hats and frock coats. The Ottawa Journal asks, what's in a name-- the word democracy. 3 The Stratford Beacon-Herald, referring to the in- creased freight charge on Alberta coal says Ontario consumers will never get sufficient heat out of $8.23 paid to the railways, A proféssor writes that only fools are certain of anything, He must be certain of that. Other Edito 1's Comments THE RECENT DROP IN LIQUOR SALES (Hamilton Herald) A good deal of surprise has been felt by customers ot the govern- ment liquor stores on hearing that the receipts for the present month had fallen off by $500,000 below last yoar's for the same period. Half a million is a considerable sum of money, but the liquor busi- ness has. been conducted on a large scale, anl the huge sums that have beon expended in th's way have been drawn out of more legitimate channels of trade. A POOR METHOD (Stratford Beacon-Herald) There are several cities and towns in Ontario which have taken advantage of the clause permitting thd lifting of names from the vot- ers' list on the grounds of non- payment of taxes. Tis paper has never been able to see that this is right. If a person misdes a pay- ment of taxes the city has not lost that money; it becomes a deferred payment, and the city has the se- curity of the property to make cer- tain it will get its tax money. By taking off the name of the person who has not paid up promptly, the right of that person to vote has been cancelled. He has no way of protesting If he thinks the taxes have been made so high that he cannot pay them, For this reason it becomes an arbitrary and rather high-handed method. Common sense, patience and a little firm- ness will get the tax money just as certainly as humiliating a per- son by taking a name from the voters' list. MYTHS IN HISTORY (London Sunday Pictorial) Perfervid Scots will be sharpen- ing their claymores and rehearsing their clan battle-cries when they hear what the Under-Sccretary of State for Scotland has been saying about their national hero Robert the Bruce. Bruce, he declarcs, was a feudal bully, and the story of his adven- ture with the spider is an inven- tion. Like many other historical myths the spider story is probably with- out foundation; but it is not, therefore, valueless. Every nation has its heroes and the memory of each hero is kept fresh by some more or less myth- ical report. We may not recall all | the adventures of Robert the Bruce | but the spider story serves as § reminder. Similarly King Alfred may remembering of that story does no- body any harm andl it recalls the existence of a king who did havo a great say in the history of the country. | Bits of Humor THE MAJESTY OF MAN Bridegroom (as they stroll along the eghore)---Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll on.

LISTEN TO WEATHER Little Rose, aged four, had re- ceived a bright red spirng coat. She was anxiously awaiting Sunday, when she was to wear it for the first time, But Sunday morning broke cold and windy. She was Inconsolable because mot! or sald it was too cold to wear the cherished coat, A little later she disappeared, returning ' triumphant, exclaiming: "Mother, if you will go out on the front- porch and listen to the climate, I am sure you will let me wear my new coat."

FRIENDSHIP By Mary Matheson The kind of friendship I would give-- And 1 of others clalm-- Shall never let the tongue defile Or mar another's name, It falls like oil on troubled seas, And tries to understand Another's weakness, and withholds The hasty reprimand. It helps another when one sees Him burdened on the road, And though it cannot bear the cross Will share the heavy load. It finds the good in everything And speaks .of it alone, And still will tell to me my faults Nor evil will condone. 4 Such friendship is akin to love Its ways. the Master trod, It is a flower plucked from ouf The garden-plot of God.

Care and Eye | Strain by C. H. TUCK, Opt.D. (Copyright 192%) In several previous articles 1 found it nécessary to refer to the spec- trum colors which when combined form white light. 1 will name these colors again in order, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Violet, The difference in these colors depends upon the number of vibrations and In order that the brain may recognize these separate colors some stimulation to the sensi- tive nerve centres of the eye must be sct up in some special manner produce cajor vision. If we can have color blindness color vision must be a recognized fact, The colors above mentioned should be more properly termed, the colors of the solar spec- trum. There is also to be considered an Ocular Spectrum, this follows the impressions of 'the Solar Colors upon the sensitive nerve tissue of the eye but their color is not the same as the color of the object whose image they received but its complimental colors, and these complimcntal colors of the spectrum are very nearly op- posite to the colors of the solar to The comphmental color for red is green-blue, and for green it is purple- red, and for blue-violet is yellow, The explanation of this is in the fact, that the particular part of the retina of the eye which should recognize red is fatigued by it but is very sensi- tive te the other rays which com- bined with red would make white | light, in other words it quickly re- { cognizes those colors it does not ab- sorb and other nerve endings in the retina will absorb these other colors | and only recognize red. | Hughes Will Accept Chief Justice Pos (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) New York, Feb, 6--Charles Ev- ans Hughes, announced yesterday that hé would accept the nomina- tion as chief justice of the United States, regarding it as the highest opportunity for service that could be offered him.

If no exercise is being taken, the heart muscle diminishes in strength, Eating food that causes too much gas { forma n will cause pressure on the | heart that interferes with its action. This gas may accumulate in the | upper hand' part of the stomach, or | part of large intestine, causing pres- sure against the floor of chest, and thus against the heart. Too many stimulants may likewise be causing" the heart to beat too often, My thought then is that as the heart has to do all the pumping of the blood to all parts of the body, every effort to rest and steady it is of course right, but if you can re- move from the various parts of the body and mind the little or big things that are causing it to beat rapidly or irregularly then that would be the common sense thing to do. Why try to relieve the heart of some of its work by rest or drugs, when by lessening thé work, that in- fection or other conditions are mak- ing it do, you may not need the drugs, as the heart will regain its own reserve strength, if given the chance, . And this same idea applies to other organs of the body. Why treat the organ itself without trying to remove the cause of its trouble, as v remove MAPS OF MINERALIZED AREAS 3 ~ Prospecting and mining in the mineralized areas of northern On- tario and Quebec, and in northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan are be- ing greatly assisted by the use of the_sheets of the National Topo- graphic map of Canada published by the Topographical Survey, De- partment of the interior. As the country is wooded and cut up by almost innumerable lakes, the in- formation shown on these map sheets is invaluable for prospectors, enabling them to reach and work over regions which would other- wise be left untouched.

They have had nearly 50,- 000 gallons of contraband liquor sciz- ed by the Quebec Liquor Commis- sion, two schooners have been con- fiscated, and a number of the boot- leggers are, at present languishing under lock and key, or striving to recover from the effects of a heavy fine. The principal hauls made by the Commission in the course of their vigorous campaign against the con- trabandists last scason were at Ta- doussac in 'July, when 10,000 gallons of contraband liquor were seized; from a schooner in Quebec harbour a month later (5000 gallons); while perhaps .the most startling event of all was the seizure of a distillery op- erating at the Arena where imitation of well-known brands of whiskies were being made. A similar seizure was made during the summer at No- tre Dame du Lac, where a fake bot- | tling plant with up-to-date electric machinery was in operation. At each of these seizures several thousand gallons of liquor were confiscated. Police patrols directed by the Com- mission watch both banks of the St. Lawrence River, and during the sea- son when the river is open patrol boats are continually on the river it- self. That tense patrols are deter- mined to let nothing escape them is shown by the fact that one of them was among the last boats to come up to Quebec before the closing of na- vigation. The Quebec Liquor Commission here has what is virtually a museum | of the art of bootlegging. There are carefully wrapped-up bottles con- taining what from both appearance and smell would seem to be the choi- cest of 'old Scotch," while the labels and wrappings of various well-known brands of liquor have been so care- fully duplicated that no difference from the originals can be perceived. Both labels and contents are fakes. PER CAPITA POWER DEVELOPMENT show. With a water-power development of 554 horse-power per 1.000 of population, Canada stands well tc the fore in respect to availability and utilization of hydro-power re- sources, The enormous watey- power reserves still untouched form a substantial foundation for the progressive exploitation and development of other natural re- sources, especially if properly co- ordinated with the development and utilization of the well known fue! resources of the Dominion.
