warns against taking oneself too seriously pet vanities indulged in pri vate probably do no harm th late dwight morrow served on the international marine transport council in london during the last year of the war one day he had reason to call upon sir james mac- lay the british minister of shipping when he reached sir james office a senior clerk was showing what dis astrous consequences must follow from failure to adopt some course which he advocated presently sir james said quietly to him be care- f 1 you arc forgetting rule number six the clerk immediately took up his papers and left the room pres ently morrow asked and what is rule number six oh said sir james rule number six is dont take yourself too seriously that answered morrow sounds a good rule what are the others and the answer was there arent any there are other rules of course but this particular rule covers a good deal of the ground there are few of us who can afford not to ponder it i expect indeed that on some point or other we all take our selves too seriously we have our ret vanities and so long as we in dulge them in private perhaps no great harm is done but when they begin to make us self important in public it is time to take notice it is rather remarkable how much attent ion is paid to this matter in the new testament st paul warns his con verts not to think of themselves more highly than they ought to think and to think others better than oneself and there is one word which occurs again and again some dozen times i think in his writings and it is perhaps the one word of slang which has found itself in the english new testament for a slang word it must have been originally certainly it bears the mark of slang new testament slang word it is the word puffedup and it reminds us at once of the frog in aesops fable that so inflated itself with air in order to look big that it burst its skin perhaps one is more exposed to this condition in the field of religious life where actually it is more deadly to the soul than anywhere else certainly the fre quency of the word in the new testament suggests that there was a good deal of it in the young christian church a religious experience does no doubt induce a mood of exaltion and it is proper that it should do so the danger is that the exalted per son may be led to suppose that his experience is unique and that he has entered into a cirde of privilege from which his neighbors are shut out until at least they have pass ed through the identical experience themselves it is of people of this kind that ruskin speaks in sesame and lilis where he is explaining the meaning of the word puffedup converted children who teach their parents converted thieves who teach honest men converted dunces who after spending half a lifetime in a cretinous stupefaction suddenly be coming aware of the existence of god forthwith suppose themselves to be his chosen apostles and prophets most of all in religious life it is usual to forget rule

the war trench caveins or shellfire buried men every day for years some were res cued many not but the incidents were not of course broadcast dr robertson of the moose river party had been with the 1st canadian bat talion in the war and doubtless in jeopardy for much longer periods than he spent in tho mine but in those days the holocaust was upon so gi gantic a scale as to baffle the imagina tion on this point one finds in the may number of the legionary an article by will r bird in which the blow ing of montreal crater is described he writes the blowing of this crat er entombed many of the enemy who had taken refuge in the bombardment dugouts and for hours the next day workers from the spot the tapping noises coming from under the tons of mud and debris that the explosion had hurled over the entrances the canadians traced the sounds to a small area and started to dig but the rescue could not be effected as the enemy shelled and bombed the workers from th spot the tapping grew fainter and finally ceased as the entombed men perished for lack of air from the same issue of the legion ary we quote a related but more cheerful paragraph appearing upon the editorial page the courage devotion and energy of the brave men who rescued dr robertson and mr scadding were be yond all praise it is with pleasure therefore that we recall to members of tho oanadian legion that three of those heroes george morrell now a national figure george fraser and joseph dakens draegermen who broke through the debris to reach the entombed men are members of the stellarton branch of the legion ex- soldiers who servod their country well 20 years ago they demonstrated that tho bravery which characterized them in france continues with them the canadian legion is proud to have such men

36 23 name albatross selected for 4engine type of monoplanes london the albatross is the name selected for the new four-en- gined monoplane two of which have been ordered by the air ministry for experimental flights across the at lantic ocean from the operational point of view these flights will be among the most important that have ever been made for they will enable information to be collected upon tho relative values of flying boat and fast landplane for long distance oversea commercial services the fust test flights are expected to be made towards the end of the year and when the airplanes have completed their performance trials they will be tried experimentally over the atlantic the airplanes will have a maximum speed of nearly 250 miles per hour and will be able to cruise at more than 200 mph yet they are large machines with a gross weight of 25- 000 pounds each and each powered with four gipsy 12 cylinder engines they are monoplanes of exceptional ly clean lines and embody the latest devices for reducing drag and obtain ing tho highest possible efficiency from the power available careful comparisons will be made between the results achieved by these fast landplanes and the new flying boats at the present moment opinion is almost equally divided as to which type is the better for long distance ocean journey but there is also a body of opinion which holds that there is room for both types the original argument that the flying boat was a necessity in order to eliminate the risk of accidents if the machine is forced to alight on the water has lost its force because modern multi engined airplanes are able to fly with any engine stopped and to maintain height without very marked loss of speed youll see colorful crochet on every hand says
