'magazines have become, I ~* It is interesting to note that in the list of i forty-nine given, those which date back even | {3 to 1910 could be counted on the fingers of one "hand, The rest are mostly the mentally putres- jcent product of the so-called "post-war moral ig) laxity," 1 The laxity was always there, as the ghosts AM of livery stables and similar congregations of us. the obscene prior to this century could witness. It has merely taken advantage of a weary, nearly heart-broken world's apathy after a war of hitherto unknown proportions, The Department of National Revenue's order ' may be of more significance than at first ap- pears, Ten years hence it may be seen as a message from another Moving Finger, declaring in the ° "banguet house of rioting uncleanliness that the a Kingdom of Jazz's days are numbered, and the empire divided between aroused decency and militant self-respect. GREAT HYMNS AND THEIR WRITERS Few ever stop to inquire into the origin, meaning and implications of the great hymns of Christendom. They are, from very familiar- ity, taken somewhat for granted. Yet the thoughful student of the Christain religion ,_ Sees in them a continuance of the same Spirit i "eof Inspiration which gave simple lake fisher- #* men the power to write Gospels; which took a i? little zealot Jew named Saul of Tarsus and set is Dim forth as Plato's master in theology ; which | \ {developed the youngest of the Apostles inio a i shystic whose visioning eyes beheld earth and heaven vanish before the ineffable fires of heavenly judgment, and then brought out of i, that infinite holocaust into being as a new ill} heaven and a new earth "that shall not pass i "" _ Christianity's great hymns are to all practical i ends a part of the Holy Scriptures, The hand jj ut penned "Abide with me" was no less in- y »2spired than the man who wrote "Now Abideth ) 'aith, Hope and Charity." The voice that first _ Xearried the words and melody of "Rock of Ages" flysill not stand abashed in the presence of i! udah's poet-king who said: "The Lord is my +! Shepherd." .. None of the great hymns known to the "7 Christian world fails in having a noble history. \Bome were born of storms; others came from the souls of dying men already close to the silent river, The Oshawa Dzily Times, beginning with this issue, will publish a weekly series of hymn histories written by Rey. Archer Wallace, under the title "Favorite Hymns and their Writers." The series will include "Onward Christian "Soldiers," "Lead Kindly Light," "Stand up, stand up for Jesus," and many others. Each of these stories of the great hymns oA a RE ve -- 2 WER books, and give pleasure to many whose hearts echo the noble songs that have been the joy and comfort of millions for many years. ny MOVIE ECONOMY That people in general were long under the false impression that fabulous salaries of movie stars and directors and "million dollar pictures" were extravagant inventions of imaginative press agents, is apparent from the public re- action to the recent economy program of the iw sn NL iy will be sure to find a place in treasured serap THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1927 Since salaries of all employes receiving more, than $50 a week were cut and the contract act- ors and actresses were asked to accept greatly reduced pay, movie fans have become convinced that motion picture advertising and publicity hasn't been guilty of misrepresentation and hy- perbole, ) The discovery has brought the fans to a sud- den realization that they have been paying too much for their pictures, They have no évi- dence that either the producérs or exhibitors have made excessive profits, but are convinced that wasteful preduction methods and inerdin- ate salaries have increased unduly the produc- tion cost, The theatre-goer pays for the ex- travagance. . It seems also that Wall Street, which fur- nishes the money for the studios and finances the production work, has just awakened to the real state of affairs in Hollywood and that the recent economy orders issued from it and not from the producers. Apparently, Wall Street has been making huge profits from its film in- vestments but if larger profits are to be had it wants to share in them. Proposed and seemingly possible economies should revert to the public in the form of lower movie prices or better films, Judging from ex- pressions of public opinion it seems most film fans prefer that the dividend be paid in better pictures, ACCIDENTS AND COMPENSATION There were 7,010 accidents reported to the Workmen's Compensation Board in the month of August, 1927, this being an increase of 7956 over the previous month of July and 416 mare than in August, 1926, The fatalities last month numbered 53, This brings the total number of accidents reported to the Board to the end of August this year to 46,911, as compared with 42,244 during the same period last year, The fatal cases numbered 274, as against 2387 for the corresponding period last year. The benefits awarded during August amount- ed to $496,241.29, as against $446,342.27 dur- ing August a year ago, and the total benefits awarded to date this year are $4,064,645.93 (being $8,365,910.09 compensation and $698, 785.84 for medical aid), as compared with $3, 708,349.34 benefits for the same period of 1926 (of which $3,067,600.69 was for compensation and $640,748.65 for medical aid). Speaking of these figures, R. B. Morley, Gen- eral Manager of the Industrial Accident Pre- vention Associations, states that the Associa- tions received reports through the Workmen's Compensation Board of 8,689 accidents, includ- ing 26 death cases, for the seven months end- ing the first of August, 1927. These cases all involved a loss of seven days time or more and Mr. Morley points out that the total payroll of the classes included in the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations is in excess of two- thirds of the total payroll in Schedule 1. Mr, Morley adds that the total number of accidents reported by all industries in Ontario in August is the highest figure for the whole period under compensation in Ontario.

Bit of Verse THE ROAD TO VAGABONDIA He Vis sitting on a doorstep as I went strolling Ys A lonely little beggar, with a wistful, homesick eye-- And he wasn't what you'd borrow And he wasn't what you'd steal-- But I guess his heart was breaking, ~» So I whistled him to heel. bh They had stoned him through the city streets, And naught the city cared-- : But I was heading outward And the roads are sweeter shared; So I took him for a comrade, and I whistled him away-- On the road to V, q day! » Yellow dog he was; but bless you-- He was just the chap for me! ' For I'd rather have an inch of dog Than miles of pedigree-- So we stole away together on the road that has no end, With a new-coined day to fling away And all the stars to spend! ia, that lies across the Moa 3 --Dana Burnet.

IRELAND'S OPPORTUNITY | (Border Cities Star) Friends of Ireland the world over--' and there are many of them in Canada | --will hope for the island's sake that the Cosgrave Government is returned coming elections. Mr. Cosgrave has! made an excellent impression. He ap- pears to be doing his best to bring order out of the Irish chaos. For this reason he should have the hearty support of every Free State citizen who wishes to see normal conditions restored and the country given an op- | portunity to register the progress that | 1s its due. THEY DIDN'T SEE IT ! (Brantford Expositor) The 'Hamilton Herald says: "Vier- koetter's handlers cheered when (George Young was taken out of the water. And the great crowd on shore cheered Vierkotter when he came up jout of the water, the victor. Better sportsmanship was shown by the crowd than by .the 'sports.'" It is probable that the attitude of Vierkot- ter's supporters who cheered at the col- lapse of George Young was entirely missed by the huge throng of specta- tors on the shore. It might not have affected the demonstration at Vierkot- ter's victory, but it would certainly have changed their opinion of the good sportsmanship of those who were back- ing his efforts.

MATTER OF EXCHANGE (Chatham News) The lack of reciprocation in mat- ters of courtesy with regard to cur-' rency in the States may probably he due to the woeful ignorance regarding Canada, its potentialities and its pro- gress, among of the mation to the south. Several times during the | present summer season, The News | quoted statements of American tour- ists who have been surprised beyond measure to find such excellent crops, ! and such'general prosperity in a coun- by a handsome majority at the forth-| 4 tor I they yon, "will you give me enough to build | do you do? try which they have always regarded as a strip of the frozen north. These exclamations of wonder have been) particularly marked with regard to the wonderiul tobacco crops which are not surpassed even in the southern states of Carolina and Virginia. Americans should widen their scope of education, and learn something about other countriesbesides their own. If they did this, there would not be so much trouble over the exchange of Canadian money, and the friendly relations which characterize these two great people would be further extend- ed and strengthened. STRIKING CONTRAST (O. C. Mcintyre, New York Corres- pondent) The beautiful young heiress Milli- cent Salm strikes me as being some- what of a glutton for punishment. Following her unhappy marriage to Count Salm she is going to try her luck with another foreigner--an Ar- gentine. Count Salm was the typical suave type stirring romance in the breasts of foolish American girls. He lived in a small room at my hotel--lpoked as though he had been poured into well-fitted clothes, played tennis well, kissed fluttering maidens' hands and was adroit at other continental cute- ness. We have never seen the Argentine, but we will bet a sugar-coated cookie he has slick black hair, dances the tango divinely and wear the latest dinner jacket lapel As a striking contrast a sensible New York heiress of great beauty seven years ago married a hard work- ing young man who was then employ- «d for $125 a month with an express | company. They went to live in a sub- urban cottage out where the pavement ends. She forgot society and went in homemaking. They have four children. He has a small and growing business. And if they are unhappy, certainly don't look it. IN THE WAY OF TRADE (The Outlook) | In the old haggling way of trade, which has, in this country, at least, happily gone out for the most part, and been replaced hy the more honest one-price system, in which a dealer puts a fair profit upon his goods and ticks to that, it was customary to de- mand a great deal than the asker hoped to get.

A WONDERFUL JUARTER CENTUR It is a great privilege to have lived in this generafion, Within its span more has been added to the sum of human knowledge than in any previous period of the world's history. The Golden Age it has been called--the Age of Science. These are the words of Dr. J. M. Jackson of Kansas City, Mo. in his presidential address before the Amer- ican Medical Association last May. The knowledge of how to prevent many discases has alone saved to the world countless lives and immeasurable ex- pense. Cholera, yellow fever, and malaria, which carried off hundreds of thous- ands yearly, are now only memories. Thousands of children are now saved to fond parents yearly by the use of antitoxin in diphtheria. Typhoid fever, more soldiers wariare, 1s now as it frequently did, than were killed by modern sanitation and inoculations. The use of insulin in preventing death from diabetes has opened up a the from the use of extracts from organs of animals are beyond our conception, Dr. Jackson also paid a great tribute to the X-ray. By it physicians have been able to see conditions 'inside the up the body for the purpose, And so the doctor of today faces the future as quite a different man from the one who entered medicine twenty- five vears ago. In those days he had to take the word of the professors and the instruc- tors as outlined in text hooks. With this equipment hé thought out his own diagnosis and treatment.

EXPLOSION KILLS THREE IN BRITISH NAVAL STORE London, Sept. 10.--A terrific ex- plosion in the Navy's storeroom al Wareham today caused the death of three workmen. Three other men, one of whom was carrying a tray full of high explosives, were blown out of the building amid a torrent of bricks and debris, but they were not injured. Scveral women em- ployees were slightly hurt. As the only three men working at the place where the explosion occurred were killed, the cause of it remains unexplained.
