Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago MONDAY, JULY 7, 19380 THE GLAMOR GONE The Royal Canadian Artillery units are now in camp at Petawawa and one thing that is noticeable is that the word "Horse" had been dropped from the title of that body of the permanent forces of Canada, No longer do the 'artillery men move out to camp with the glitter of shining harness, the champing of noble steeds and the rattle and Jingle of spurs. No longer do the drivers mount their horses, and send them off at a tearing gallop across the camp grounds, with their guns bumping and carrering be- hind them. In that picture there was action, there ' was glamor, But it is gone now, The uge of machinery has robbed the artillery of that dash, that glamor which made them so picturesque. ' Instead, these units are mo- torised, . High powered motor tractors pull the guns along, and the driver, instead of being a skilled horseman, with a love for the animals under his care, is now a chauffeur, with a thing of gteel and iron, or brass and nickel, to care for, instead of a flesh and blood horse on which he could lavish his af. fection and feel that it was returned. The trooper was always noted for his kindness and affection toward his horses, but it not reasonable to expect that a heavy tractor can have the same sentimental appeal to those whose duty consists in seeing that. it is kept supplied with gasoline and oil, VACATION JOBS FOR TEACHERS The Winnipeg Board of Education, at a recent meeting, expressed its disapproval of thé acceptance by its employees of remun- erative vacational employment. This resolu- tion, it is stated, was passed on account of the existing unemployment situation, it be- ing felt that the school teachers, on account of the fact that they were being paid a respectable yearly salary, should not go out into the labor market to compete for jobs with those who had no other means of earn- ing a livelihood This resolution opens up a wide field for discussion. It has become quite the usual thing for school teachers to add to their salaries by taking other employment during the long summer vacation, Some, of course, use the holidays to take special courses whereby they may improve their qualifica- tions for better positions, and that is a very laudable way of spending them. The Win- nipeg resolution, however, is aimed at those who, as soon as school closes, seek another position, and retain it, until the holidays are over. It is the contention of the Winnipeg board that these teachers are being paid a suffi. cient salary for their services, and that they should not seek to keep unemployed men and women out of work by taking other um- ployment for the summer. This may be a bit hard on the teachers who look to the va- cation as an opportunity of earning extra money, but yet, under the special and un- usual circumstances prevailing this year,' * there is some justice in the stand of the Winnipeg trustees. The teachers them- selves should be willing to admit that they would harldly be playing the game by tak- ing the bread and butter out of the mouths of those who need it, especially since their . own needs are well taken care of by their salaries, After all, it is not a matter in which compulsion can be applied, but school teachers average up well in' reasoning pow= er and in ideals in keeping with the golden should be willing to co-operate in- can in leaving jobs available 'really need them. ABOLISHING NOISES Movements for the abolition of unneces- sary noises are gathering force in many 'of the world, People are becoming vinced that this is an age of nerve.-wrack- Nn noises which do much to harm pental, and therefore the physical health of the of the present age, and they are taka scion i unicef places t on \ of St. Catherines has taken a in this kind of thing. The city eity I aa ion asking the co-operation of all citizens in the ' 1) oll elimination of any noises which can be avoid- ed, Restrictions have been placed on the use' of automobile horns and street car sirens, and even the humble milkman, making his rounds in the early hours"of the morning, has been called to account. In London snd New York, and in many other large cities throughout the world, definite by-laws pro- hibiting unnecessary noises have been It would be interesting to have an investi gation made by some central body of these various methods of eliminating noise, so that the benefits of experience in applying them might be passed on to other communities which. have not as yet attempted to tackle the problem, but which are gradually com- ing round to the modern idea that it is nec- essary to do something to curb the perpetu- al din which seems to be a characteristic of modern civilization, ' PROSPERITY I8 RETURNING The prospects for business revival are en- couraging. It is recognized everywhere that the return to noxmal movement of wheat will have a good effect in releasing capital and increasing employment, A year ago the stock markets were the chief factor in business. The whole country was engaged in activities that were little short of gambling. Financial reserves among all classes of the population were be- ing risked in activities that had no produc- tive results. Money was being borrowed for that purpose and eventually a large part of it was lost. The volume of stock trading today shows that the public has deserted a game at which it was decisively beaten, Of course, good stocks are being bought for investment by those who have surplus funds, but the speculative department is at a stand- still. Instead money is being used in legiti- mate business, and the latter will shortly show the effects of such constructive effort, The country's prosperity is being rebuilt, When that project is undertaken seriously it is only a short time until results become apparent in the reduction of unemployment and a more healthy tone in all kinds of use- ful commerce.~Sarnia Observer, EDITORIAL NOTES An Ottawa expert says a generous amount of spinach should be fed to pigs.

This slow leave his heart and lungs in such good condition that, barring ac- cidents he should be able to box the required number of rounds, However there is another point of interest to the medical exam- fner that has not much to do with health, and that is the boxer's abll- ity to strike fast or to ward off a blow fast, This can only be attained by boxing in a gymnasium, and if we find that he is a little slow In his attack or just a little late in de. fending a blow, we know that he has not been doing faithful work with his boxing partners, Because (ha difference between the trained athlete and one who is not in good training 1s Just a mat- ter of 'time.' For from the time that the boxer decides to lead or strike a blow until it is done is just a fraction of a second, By strict training and practice he can reduce the time that this takes so that (unless the other boxer is just an fast), as he ween the blow coming, he will be able to land the blow, Similarly In defending himself, as he sees the blow coming, his brain %¢1is his arms, legs and body what to do, and he has his defence ready when the blow comes His 'mind' is thus trained to think fast, and his body to act fast, as ordered by the brain, Ndw why do 1 talk about this? Because with your boy or girl, you may be wondering if you sfe wise in letting them play games, You admit thelr value physically and recognize that they help the girl or boy morally by learning to give and take, and respect the other person's rights but yeu've never thought of thelr value from the standpoint of quick thinking and quick acting, And it is this quick thinking and quick acting that may mean much to that bey or girl in every day life, Circumstances may arise wherein that fraction of a wecond acquired playing games may mean his or her lite, or the lives of others, A quick thinking and quick act.

Dules Wallace whipped the morning' newspaper 'behind her, and faced her husband with a guilty little laugh, "Wondering what interested you #0 much at breakfast!" she con: fossed, "In the paper?" "Yeu. "Why 1 don't remember," Dan sald vaguely, "Honestly, don't yoh?" she ask- od, more seriously, dropping the paper, and coming to slip her hand through his arm, and look up at him lovingly, "In the paper Nope'.' "I wish 1 could believe you, you divvie!" she cried, "Now listen" Dan' began im- patiently. squaring her about with big hands on her shoulders, "No, no, no, don't scold me!" pleaded Dulce laughing, 'T can't help it, If I think that something in the paper interests you, I'm mad until 1 know what it is!

"Nothing.

"What'd I do, pretty?" Dan asked in the agonies of awakening, his head fuszy and his mouth thick, and the band of his shirt collar wet, "You lied to me," Dulce sald, un. compromisingly, "When? he demanded, after a moment of amazed silence, "When you sald that you didn't remember what had interested you in the paper, Dan." "Oh, for heaven's safe," he ex claimed with a tolerant laugh, *'Is that it? What've you got up your sleeve now?" "I haven't got anything up my sleeve", Dulce sald with cold dig- nity, I happened to be glancing at the paper a little while ago, and I saw this" ; He was sitting, tousled and he- wildered on the side of his hed now, and she walked toward him, and gave him a newspaper clipping, It described the obening of the Lincoln Grammar School, in Napa (where they had heen neighbors hefore thelr marriage and listed the new pupils in the first grade, the Mttle beginners on the long road of education, Alphabetically ranged among them was the name of Tommy Wallace, "That's right!"

I saw you jump, "Jump nothing, Why should | Jump becouse my kid was started in school?" "Well, you did." "Well I say I didn't," Dan went from bureau to dres- ser, faintly frowning, as if his one thought was his dressing, "Dan, will yon gwoar to me that you didn't sees that?" "No, 1 won't awear!' he sald alr. fly, "Of course 1 saw It, and 1 Hed about it, and 1 took Cassy to luneh and I'm in Jove with Sarah." Dulee was watching him with di. Inted eyes: Wer color had faded, Now she began to follow him about the room, "Don't tease me that way, Dan!" she warned him In a whisper, "Don't 'deo It!

Those women down there in the town are watching for A chance to say 'I told you so' to me!

" She turned brilliant flashing eyes like a cat's, upon him; her breast heaved less violently, No!' she whispered, "Do you want me to take a strap to yout" "No!" Dulce sald, with a des- perata laugh that was half a sob, "Then don't Jet me hear any more nonsense out of you, Did you think that when Tommy grew old enough for school Cassy would n't send him?" "No, of course not!" "And do you think that If I had happened to see that item In the paper this morning, which I didn't that I wouldn't have made some comment on it to you, wouldn't have said, 'Oh, Tom starts schee! today?' "No-0-0," she admitted, with a reluctant dimple in her fresh, fair cheek, Dulce, who made a sort of reli glon of comfort and beauty, and never apared herself or her hounes hold any of thelr ritual, was al ways lovely at dinnertime, Tonight she was in pale blue sa- tin, with orystals and silver se- quine winking here and there in the cunningly alternated petals of guare and velvet and silk, Her slippers were blue; there was a eweled band of blue in her shining alr, "All this for me?" Dan asked, "Who else, Marvelous?!"

"That was the day we moved trom that awful dump in Fulton Street," he thought, Now He had monogrammed handkerchiefs, and White peacocks walked on the wall of his summer terrace, Life was funny, "I wash to goodness she'd marry her Jeasop!"

"There was, I believe,' "Divorced?" "Oh, no, They're tremendously tine people-the Jessops, No, his wife died" "Dan, do you realize what you Just maid?" "Did I say anything, honey?" "Don't you realize whit you sala?" ; "That Mac Jessop was a widow er? But T happen to know it, Duleé, She died in a motor acel- dent down near Los Angeles," "You sald that Indeed they weren't divorced, that they were very fine people!" Dules elucl- dated accusingly, "Of course the two things had no connection in my mind! You can take It that way if you Wke!" "But darling, be reasonable how else can I take it?" "It lots me In as deep as you," Dan reminded her meekly, "Well, exactly!" she agreed, with an amiable Jaugh, "Poor Puritan Danny, he can't quite think of himself as a divorced and re- married man!" "1 didn't mean anything of the kind about Jessop," Dan reiterated stoutly, » "But he is an unusually fine man," "He looks like a little monster." "Cassy used to say he looked exactly like a frog, But when you know him, he's a very decent fel low," Dan said, "When did you know him, Dan?" "Not until three years ago---not until the divorce, It seems that he was walking over your place one day. with an idea of buying it for some dairy Interests his firm has, and he saw Cass and the ghildren, and went over, Bhe told him how the land lay, and he offered to handle the divorce for her, although as ® rule his firm--anyway, they handled hers, It was Jessop who adviged her to bring the counter suit! That gave her full claim on the kids, 1 believe," "Winer," Dulce sald thoughtfully after a silence, pouting her lips, "Oh sure, It's hard on kids, splitting them up." "I should bo most horribly jea- lous of them," Dulce confessed gully, "You're not Jealous of her," Dan observed, with his youthful smile, "No, because 1 never took any- thing away from Cassy that be. longed to her," Dulce argued quickly, "If a woman holds her husband, really," she went on, 'she needn't be afraid that any other woman will get him, And It she doesn't, why, she's lost him any- way!"

July 7T.==A grave warning that the interna- tional atmosphere is 'poisoned with mistrust and suspicion," was delivered to the banquet of the In- ternational Congregational Churgh Council delegates last night by former Premier David Lloyd George, The Libera! leader declared that the peace of the world depended upon the co-pperation and good. will of Great Britain and the Unit- od States, "It 1s vital In the Interests of the human race that Britain and Amer- fon should march side by side solv. ing the great problems that await us, Bournemouth, Peace Not Necure "Peace is by no means secure, In spite of treaties, man has not yet given up the idea of war, Pre. parations for war are goings on in every country of the world, There are more men trained for war in Hurope, Asia and the United States than before the great eatastrophe of 1914" Mr, Lloyd George asserted that, except for countries like Germany, that were forced to reduce their armaments, Great Britain was the only country that had diminished {ts forces to a point where they were at least no more than before the war, "I speak from personal experis ance," Lloyd George continued, "when I say that, although I have gone to live in a quiet place in Surrey, I hear every day the rattle of machine guns in one camp, the hoarse roar of cannons in another, and, carried by the westerly breese, I hear the boom of naval artillery from the direction of Portsmouth, the drone of airplanes, Time Churches Intervened "That is going on in every elvil ized land on earth, It is peally time the ¢hurches took this thing in hand, I don't know who else oan do fit, "We have got vonvenants against war, we have got pacts we have all signed that there shall be no more war, and we are spending more preparing for things that we have determined should never hap- pen again, "The international situation ia bad, We are bullding up barriers against each other, putting up fences against each other and re striotions against each other, We are blockading each other, and we are trying to. starve each other, "Trade is treated as if It were contraband, The atmosphere ia | d pleion and mise trust," .
