An Interesting Novel "Thege has come to The Reformer for review a copy of "The Fighting Slogan" by H, A. Cody, published by McClelland and Stewart, A good test of a novel is whether 4' kéeps you up long after your usua hpur, for bed. This one does. However, this book is rather mor Toronto. than a novel. It preaches Canadiar jupity. One requires to be a success ; ful. and usually an experienced autho: th point a moral without spoiling the But H. D. Cody manages this beautifully. { "Tp the Fathers of Confederatior and. especially to Sir Samuel Leonar¢ Tilley, one of the thi bogk Jis. dedicated as a grateful anc "action of his story. worthiest, umble tribute to their far-seeing ig their outstanding loyalty anc gatriotism, and their masterly achiev- 'ment in binding the : €anada. info an enduring unity. of stability and goodwill." Tilley, at, the opening. of this story Was: fighting. an election campaign in 'New ' Brunswick, with Confed as..the jssue.. The battle was wooing against him; it appeared that hc his party would, be badly defeatc | Filley had already selected a name for the united country which in his day, dreams, he saw. In the Bible he fixed on the verse in Zechariah which Le AA sea sea," provinces of 'ration and so, thinking of the Atlantic and the Pacific, he chose the}, title "Dominion of, Canada.' But Tilley had no election slog®n. And, what is an election without a slo~ gan? He, needed a rallying cry. He sought for, one in vain. But Prost Rowan, the hero of this : * young trapper and woodsman, brought him, information about a cave stored with powder and bullets which he had' discovered in the hills, Also he brought, a fragment of paper which proved, that the Fenians were in New Brunswick. That news gave Tilley his slogan. The Provinces must unite against the Fenians. Nor was it by any means a hollow cry. * The danger .as it proved, was real enough. Tilley and his party won, the election, hands story, down.' Such is a rather mature man's ver- "sion of the story told in this 'novel. But. the. young. will find in it a tale "full of action and intrigue --a love story: and a story of adventure from beginning to end. In the novel there 3 18 absolutely nothing objectionable of «1 any? kind. Besides, it gives a good ¥ picture of pioneer life. Very appropriate is this book at a | time when Canadian unity should be ' one. .of the. great. issues, indeed the oy a most, important issue, of the present electoral campaign. EE ; +1 ad ,. "His. Dominion shall be from}! Athe The Reformer has or Bas Toit regeived an "nformative bulletin entitled 'Com; mencement, 1926," issued by the De- partment of University Extension of 'he Provincial University. This c™.- 'ains a report by Sir. Robert Fal- toner. in which he states that tne anrolment for the past session was 2 {.3,248, exclusiye of, students in, ex: tension courses, in, musi, and in af- iiliated colleges;, that the course in Jommerce is mere popular, than any ther honour course at the Univer: ity of Toronto; and that the Fac- ilty of Forestry is assuming new im- wortance in the eyes of, the public, wo of his concluding sentences re, "Never has there been such sus- .ained and effective work carried on. "o retain our people in Canada, high- vr education is a good investment." There are several attractive and nteresting illustrations in this book- 'et. One learns that, during the past 'ear, the University of Toronto con- 'erred eleven hundred and five de- srees and that the total number of iving graduates is estimated at 21,- 130. Next year the University is 'o celebrate the one hundredth an-, wiversary of its establishment.

WHAT OTHERS SAY IN CASE OF A TUNNEL (Stratford Beacon-Herald) The tunnel under the English Chan- 1el is often spoken of, but gets no :nthusiasm. from the public. At best t would be a big bore bore. THOUSANDS O OF LAWS Bert Moses We have thousands of laws telling 1s what we can't do, but not, one clling us what we can, EVEN WHEN BECALMED - (Detroit Free Press) Paris says skirts will be above the nee, even when becalmed Land with 10 breeze blowing. WOMEN'S CLOTHES (Boston Transcript) "What a howl would ensue if it vere poverty that made women wear o few clothes! !" The above was rinted, or reprinted, we forget which, n this column four or five months go. Apropos: The statement has ust been cabled from London that 'Lord Dewar has bec me the Will Rogers of British ban " because we recently remarked « "If the icant apparel of the present day were nade necessary by poveriy, there vould be charity bozaars all over Great Britain to raise money for varm clothing!" THE CANADIAN IDEA (Calgary Herald) Canadians are a bit old-fashioned. In the old-fashioned way they still hink that national progress is' centred n the homes, not in the banks. They sersist in loving their own land and n believing in its great future. They wre a bit obstinate in respecting and udhering to their connection with ngland and the British Empire. They to think of themselves as of the ce of Shakespeare and Bobby Burns \lilton and Sir Walter Scott, and the rest of the long line of glorious names and these, strange as it may seem, to 1 gentleman of Boston, they prefer to Emmerson and Longfellow and other 'minent ornaments of New England. HIGH COST OF RADIO we (Brantford Expositor) Sometimes advertisers are inclined to, think that the cost of newspaper space is big. When compared with the radio it is seen how moderate the, cost of newspaper advertising is. The sixteen stations associated withWE- AF, New York, Charge !/ for an hour, $2550, for half an hour, and for ten minutes for what is called indirect advertising. The ordi- nary charge of WEAF is $480 an hour, and $240 for ten minutes. After 5 o'clock p.m. the 'charge is $600 per hour. However, in spite of these high figures prospective advertisers are standing, with cheques in hand, and programs ready, seeking an oppor- tunity to broadcast their advertise- ments. Oo ANADA (Woodstock Conant: Review) The late Judge Stanley Weir of Montreal, was a lawyer of ability, but he was most widely known, and will continue to be most widely known, as the author of the words of "O Canada." The. words originally used were written by Judge Routhier in French, and their use was restricted to Que- bec. The words supplied by Judge Weir} are coming to be most commonly used, but most people are still content with the opening stanza, if they get that far. Perhaps it is' as much as is to be expected for popular use. As a matter of fact 'most people's knowledge of 'the words of God Save the King is probably restricted to a few opening lines. The same may be said of The Star- Spangled Banner. Calixte Lavallee is most widely known in Canada as the composer of the music of O Canada. Some say that the tune was not original with Canadian composer, but was h { adapted by him from the work of an|income last year being over three However that may [time that of 1919 and be, he.1s enutied to credit for haying: times that of introduced to the people of Canada al year of operation and the period | older composer. melody which seemed to meet a necd, judging by the way it has "been ac i cepted and appreciated. i MIST ALWAYS (Galt Reporter) pitcher, he declared, was a ves- sel always full of water when you upset it and always empty. when you need water, ONE BLALK MA (Hamilfon rad Prohibition has its atts and ad- vantages, but increase] in alcoholism is one of the black marks a ainst it. There is no doubt about this. The Metropolitan Life Insurance company reports that since prohibition became the law, deaths fronr alcohol poison- ling among its millions of policyholders have increased 600 per cent. (St. Catharines Standard) The Kingston Standard Conserva- tiye, makes a strong point when it says that every. candidate supporting Mr. Meighen is a Conservative and 'of the candidates who are support- ing! Mr. King some. are Liberals, some are Independent Liberals, some Laborites, some Independent Laborites, some Progressives, some Independent Progressives and one a Progressive Laborite." The election of Mr. King would hardly mean stable government for the country. PLAIN SPEAKING NEEDED (Brantford Expositor) The Rt. Rev. Winnington-Ingram, the Bishop of London, has been say- ing some plain things on British emigration during his stay in Cana- da. "Say what you like," the elo- quent bishop declared, "the migra- tion of British peoples is flagging. We in England have a million and a half more than we want, but we are not getting them out into the great sister nations of the empire as we ought to." The question is, what can be done about it? The Dominions can offer splendid opportunities to those who are looking for them, and are willing to work, but they cannot lay hands on them and fercibly drag them from the Motherland. A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE (New York Evening World) A couple of young girls--choripes. io judge from their appearances -- stood in front of a cabaret in the "roaring forties' the other night. "I wouldn't go in by myself," said one of them, "Why not?" "Oh, I don't think it's nice of girls to, go into restaurants or cabareis by. themselves," replied the first. " Whats the matter?" asked the second. 'I didn't know yon were a prude." "Well, I'm not, against goed-looking. young paying their own bills." but you see I'm women YANKEE BEATS * THEM ALL (Los Angeles Times) wonderful business in Bombay as an occnlt healer and deep-sea philo- sopher. He follows the foot steps of the Hindu ascetics in a way, but throws in a few frills of his own in the form of miraculous cures for sundry ailments, He 1s reported as drawing thousands of natives to him and he has become an object of worship on the part of some of his admirers. Accidently, he is said to be accumulating more money than any other medicine man in India. This is one way of getting even with the brown men of Hindustan. They have been sending all kinds of ma- hatmas t® this country and they have garnered much coin to repay the pilgrimage. They mdy now dis- cover that, they are not the only fakirg in the world, HE IS PATHETIC (Detroit Free Press) Some New York clergyman, yield- ing possibly, to temptation 1n the form of solicitation of interviewes. have figuratively been "jumped on' Annie Besent's hand-picked and hot- house-growff "world savior," Krish- namurti. And other ministers about the country may be depended upon to follow their example. This seems rather too bad, in a way, for the gentle, amiable young Hindoo is a rather pathetic figure and quite harmless. Think of a 'Messiah" of a press, agents who hand out canned statements and publicity pamphlets as though they were ex- ploiting a tenor or a Russian dancer. Think of a 'Messiah' carefully ghaperoned by an old lady! BRITISH. FINANCIAL SOLIDITY (Ottawa Journal) It is rather curious that despite the great injury to British industry and commerce done by the coal strike, the British financial position seems to be solid. The Bank of England's case is generally accepted as a measure of the general business position. over there. The report of the Bank of England for the week ending July 21 as suggestive of increasing strength in the basic financial factors. Total gold. holdings antounted to £152,128,000 as compared with = £123,308,665 two years ago. It is true that the amount was £164,257,807 in August 1925; but that figure was th elargest in the his- tory of the bank, and was due to special circumstances. Before the war the largest antount ever held was 43,634,723, which applied to January 28,1914. . There are other factars in the English bank = statement which justify optimism, Thereshas: been for example, an increase in note circula- tion from £127092,165 in 1924, to £141919,000 during the past month, During the same period the reserve of gold and notes in the bank depart- ment, which must be differentiated from total gold reserve, increased from £20,966,500 to £39 855,000. The industrial situation is not satisfactory;' yet nothing has happened to suggest a weakening in what might be regar- ded as the fundamentals. carefully (New York World) The Panama Canal on June 30 completed the biggest and best fis- cal year, with receipts from tolls amounting to nearly. $23,000,000. Since the war its revenues have in- creased by leaps and bounds, the, A Yankee is said to be doing a | ten scoand scconda over i816, ike in which the effects of the war on canal traffic were most seriously felt. {The gain of 7 per cent. over the fiscal year 1925 reflects a healthy growth in world cominerce but some part of this business un- doubtedly represents traffic divert- ed from our transcontinental rail- ways, Since 1920 they have been appreciably affected by canal com- petition. Jt was hardly expectea when the canal was built that it would con- sistently show a return in excess of its, operating costs. Yet, for 1925 the net income from tolls, fees, licenses and miscellaneous sources egceeded $13,000,000. In the fis- cal year just closed, with tolls alone showing a gain of more, than $1,- 500,000, the net returns should be still better. The total cost of the canal was $348,000,000, but some years ago $112,000,000 of this was written off -as the cost of national defense. On the net of $236,000,- 000, the revenues above operating costs now yield a return in excess of the cost of the money invested to the government, SLEEP (New York World) The average amount of '"'absolute rest" that is gotten during a nights sleep is only 11 1:2 minutes accord- ing to Prof. H.M. Johnston of the Mellon Institute at Pittsburgh. The remainder of the time he says there is usually muscular or mental action, such ag take place during a dream. Seven and three-quarter hours of sleep is plenty for any nor- mal per tho deiontice declares. mah woman COULDN'T FOOL: HIM (The Outlook) A woman was having difficulty in teaching hier new Chinese servant how to recieve calling cards. She went out side and entered her owr front door, giving the Chinaman 'u card. - The next day two women cal lers presented their cards. Compar ing them with that of his mistress the Chinaman replied: "Tickets nc good, can't come in." CANADA LOST 200,000 (Brampton Conservator) There are about 25,000 people in the County of Peel. Reports show that nearly 100,000 Canadians went to the Unitetl States last year. Te add four counties the size of Pee! to the population of Canada would be encouraging.
