TORONTO OFFICE: {Bond Building, ale oloz. 1. i H FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1927 i FUTILE When millions are paying monthly instal- 'ments on library sets they never wanted, the anpouncement that the federal government of D. Tresidder, representative. the United States offers to teach salesmanship to book Agents is not a little disturbing, This enterprise in education may spread to Canada if we are not careful, And nobody who has had an encounter with a book agent will agree the course is wasted effort, The impression is quite universal that most if not all book sellers, especially of the door- to-deor 'Sort, are quite well skilled at their trade, One suspects the book vendors might teach the United States government and its Agénts something about salesmanship, The idea of a government teaching book agents how to sell books is not less absurd than the' suggestion that it teach ducks how to swim, women how to window shop, and real estate men how to gell lots, If the U, 8, government has discovered some- thing' about the game of selling, heretofore un- known to the book agent, it has achieved some- thing that transcends even the achievement of Colonel Lindbergh, Even though it has made such a discovery it will have difficulty in proving to the public that the first hook agent didn't know all the artifices and devices known to-day, The profession of those who sell books from office to office and house to house is synonym- ous with tenacity and cheek, What more about salesmanship can one learn who can make a rich living by selling a book nobody wants? One can hardly agree with the board of voca- tional education that "selling books is a voca- tion just as much as setting tiles or repairing automobiles or winding motors," Book gelling is an art and book agents are horn artists, Only an artist can get a housewife away from her Monday's wash and hold up for an hour the tired business man's golf game. VACATION TIME This is vacation time, and the call of the willis in the air, Fer months, the shut-in millions have been studying ads, poring over time tables and counting their cash, The cave man hang-over rises up to squelch arbppolitics and artificiality. The demand that we bunt, fish, or ride a merry-go-round, if there is mothing better, is imperative, We think it is the human brain inventing a new device, science providing a remedy for the stifled existence of great cities, but it isn't. Ws mature asserting herself, the wisdom of instinct compelling us to do what we ought. The wild goose is already hatching her y in the Canadian marshes, having flown up from Texas to enjoy the cool summer. oriole is singing on the slopes of the and the swallow is making her nest the eaves of many a northern barn. Where did these birds get the idea except from their ability to move fast and far? i previous ages man was too slow to take any but a local vacation, but now that he has ha paiirond, the automobile and the steamboat, bie.

Chambers of commerce and similar organi- zations have gone to seed over the idea of a few more people on a few more neighbouring blocks to make more retail trade, City planning has been stultiffied in large Mehdure by having to compromise with this City. plannets have not arrived at a point yet where they dave to ask how big a city should be, and that is the first essential of planning anything, When a man builds a house, or a corpora- tion erects a factory, the first proceeding is to establish certain limita, These limits are established not only by the cash available, but hy the sources of supply, the possibilities of the market and the general relationship to need, City planning has not proceeded far enough to take any of these things into account, but accepts the prevailing notion that the sky is the limit and no city can be too big for its own good, The town of 100,000 dreams of nothing so Sonstanily a8 the day when it can count 200,- But there is a limit, whether we have cour- age enough, or sense enough to recognize it, and it all goes back to the idea of a vacation, the idea of maintaining contact with nature, the idea of not removing too many people from the country all the time, or preventing too many from getting out into the country some of the time, EDITORIAL NOTES A village is a place where people wonder why Jones shaved when this isn't his regular day.

Barton, M, D. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) Diagnosing Anacinia In examining the red cells in hu- man blood it was discovered = some time ago that some had a sort ol fibrous stripe across them, like network. It was noted that in the blood of the ordinary healthy in- dividual the proportion was about one of these cells to every hund- red of the other red cells. After certain ailments or acei dents however, it was noted that these striped cells inereased in numtier, being 'in the proportion of five to the hundred of the othe: red eells. hus in cases where the patien. had lost considerable blood fron an injury, aperation, or in any oth er manner, the blood making apparatus got busy at once to mak new cells, and the degree of activ ity of the blood making apparatu was In direct proportion to the number of these striped cells i the blood. Dr. Dameshek, working in the Boston City Hospital, tells us that in pernicious anaemia these striped about five per cent of the whole, He was ahle to prove rise in the number of these was for the time al least favo ahle sign, whereas the pe tance of a low percentage of these cell: was a bad sign. In simple anaemia, that is wher food matter in the red cell i lessened, it was found that these striped cells numbered about 1 per cent or less. You can thus see that where the patient is pale or anaemic looking that this knowledge is worth mucl to both patient and doctor. Gen erally speaking the difference he tween simple anaemia and pernic ions anaemia, is as mentioned abov: that simple anaemia is a lessenin: amount of food material i blood eells, and pernicion anaemia is a lessening of the ac of blood cells them that cell Thus this knowledge that ther is an increase in the number striped cells in pernicious anaemi would enable the physician to ge busy with a transfusion of bloos or other severe measure, where: if it were the simple anaemia, diel measures with more off the out doors, would he indicated. Thus the percentage of these little striped cells in the blood i another help in diagnosis and treatment. : ; Mys. Tiff 1 have a vision of al new coat." | Mr. Tif "My dear, it's a mi age."
