Something close to $3,000,000 was talign at the box offices, enough to endow a smal university or a large hospital, No such fine purpose inspired the 150,000, er, "They paid their money to Endow a Black €, BIE would be hypocritical, however, to deny that there was a thrill to it, intensified in Can- ada's comfortable living rooms--where the la- test thing in radios are often not far from wellsthumbed volumes of Robert Burns' poems aby the fact that the expense incurred was entirely for cups of tea and other refreshments served to neighbours invited in to "hear the fight." Down at the bottom of all the popular in- terest, which has nothing to do with the gamb- ling interest, was humanity's old delight in dragon slaying. To a good many that "lis- tened-in," Dempsey was the dragon, Yet, for a dragon, he did pretty well. The Lady from Next Door who had been rooting for Tunney all evening was compelled to say, at the end, "Poor Jack, I feel sorry for him!" It's a pity, rather, that the radio doesn't work both ways occasionally, ¢.., CHANGING HISTORIC NAME Delegates to national convention of the Lib- eralsConservative Party at Winnipeg will be asked to give serious consideration to a pro- posed change of name, Supporters of the movement want the Party to be known as the "Conservative Party" without the prefix of "Liberal" which Sir John A, Macdonald insisted upon, In the interests of publicity for the Party, newspaper headwriters of Canada might sug- 'gedt dropping both titles in favour of some- thing shorter. In most headlines, the sup- porters of Conservatives, or Liberal-Conserva- tive, 'principles in politics are referred to as "Tories" when, as a matter of fact there are no Tories or a Tory Party. Only a few writers of headlines use the word in any bitter or invidious sense, but the title sticks because it fits into headings where the word "Conservative" or its derivatives cannot go, 'On an average, it takes news worth a two column heading at least to get the Party re- presenting a strong and often victorious sec- tion of 'Canadian public opinion into print un- der even a part of its right name. Students of psychology know that this is no trivial matter. If, as in England, the word "Unionist" could convey the same meaning as "Conservative" it is possible that Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen might be premier of Canada today. On the other hand, imagine the Lib- eral Party's official title being the "Frankly- Concilliating Party." Following the analogy through, their nickname for newspaper head- ings would be the "Frankies"--or something equally absurd, yet not more absurd than the Conservative Party's "Tory" alias. "i ; NEW MODEL BODIES "there is one of life's ironies in the fact that while each year brings new models of automo- alone remind that the motor car is not yet per- fected, there is no market in the world which advertises new bodies for man's mortality. How fine it' would be to step up to the show rooms of "Humanity, Limited" some fine morn- gear-shift which took hills on climbs even the front stoop on w. 'Then, something a little boyish in the of 2 human chassis--or girlish, as the may be. Yet, at the same time, not sae- that air of elegance which our mirrors describe as 2 cyirg need. « However, such dreams are impossible. Like any other old car, our mortal bodies must go their merry or sad way to the road's end as best they may. The highway of life has better {service stations than in former years 'despite |"%he higher speed limit. There's inspiration on tap every mile or 80; and no man is hardly ever very far from a serviceable repair station in the way of a hospital, Yet, for all that, new models are being turn- "ed out, There's not a public or high' school that, each graduation day, doesn't present Hu- manity with something better in the way of équipment towards. the achievement of life's finest goals. Same old model---Adam design-- but new refinements, ' The same children, but new horizons as wide. as the curtains of the stars, NEWSPAPER COURAGE o Supporters of témperance principles in On- | tavio, which ipeludes, probably, the majority of the Conserbative Party in Ontario, should congratulate The Border 'Cities Star, Windsor, for its courage in drawing the attention of the law enforcement department of the Ontario Governfient to conditions at the Border, At first, there was an apparent tendency on the part of the Government department most concerned to treat The Star's charges with in- difference, One suggestion was that such a protest should have come 'from an official source such as a City Council, At last that condition has been fully met, The Windsor Police Commission which met on Thursday, as reported by the Canadian Press, demands "prompt and drastic action" to end "blind pigging" in the Windsor area, Discharge of one constable and the chief of police ordered to exercise more critical supervision over his subordinates seem to indicate that "drastic ac- tion" was and is needed, The Ontario Government is to be commended for what action it has taken, however reluctant one department or department head may have been at the start. And the Windsor incident should serve as a useful object lesson to the effect that while one department does not make a Government, even a small part of one can smirch its honor and, despite years of fine service in other directions, involve a whole Ministry in disrepute, FAILURE OF CLASS POLITICS As president of the American Federation of Labor William Green has announced that this labour organization proposes to adhere to its old policy of political non-partisanship. A His statement amounts to a prediction that the present administration of the federation will make no attempt to marshal the labour vote in support of a third party or other independent movement, If any significance can be attached to the proclamation it is that the LaFollette fiasco convinced labcur once more of the futility of a labour party and of the benefits which have ever accrued to labour from bargaining with one of the two major political parties, President Green showed much wisdom and unusual unselfishness in his suggestion to labour that it should "select the candidates and parties it would support on the principle that those from which the most could be expected for the common good would provide the most benefits to labour, Labour has no interests separate from those of the whole people so there is no need for the government to discriminate in her favour and against the public interests. One class has no right to be raised above another and np political movement founded upon the hope of class gov- ernment can succeed in this country. CROP PREDICTIONS The Canadian farmer, particularly the wheat farmer of western Canada, will feel a bond of sympathy between himself and the cotton plants of the southern states who have pro- tes effectively against Government crop ok. tn that the U. 8. secretary of agricul- , ture has ordered the muzzle put on his private | school prophets. Farmers in general have a growing sense of grievance at the marketing system which con- trols the prices they are paid, but over which they have only rudimentary control, Two dol- lar wheat seems to depend on the Chicago Pit's reaction to an untimely frost rather than to the quality of the yield and labor expended 'in 'pro- ducing it. Then, if everything else fails to un- settle farmers' prospects, along comes a Gov- ernment bureau's optimistic summary of in- ¢reased yield and hopes for a new house, car, or radio go glimmering. Government crop predictions work both ways of course. But they work out very much like humanity's reaction to the weather, it is 4wo cool days that are remembered--not its twenty-eight fine ones. The farmer, how- ever, is entitled to special consideration. No ef- ficiency expert has ever made a motion study of nature with a view to speeding up production. The weather can't be standardized, and the only sure thing about a farm is that the unex- pected always happens. By Jas, W. Barton, M.D, (Registered in Accordance with the Copyright Act), IF INFLUENZA SHOULD RETURN We are all naturally hoping that | there will not be another influenza | epidemic, The results of the prev-| fous epidemic are still showing. and | will always be evident in the lives of many individuals. Why? Because it has been definitely proven that influenza attacks the heart, and in perhaps 5 per cent ft does permanent damage thereto, ! Dr, A. 8. Syman points out that | it affects the rhythm of the heart, interfering with the nervous mechanism, so that the impulses do not stimulate the heart muscle regularly to action, It inflames the lining of the heart, as do the so called rheumat- ic infections, causing the valves to "pucker" and thus cause a leak. And finally it acutally damages the muscular walls of the heart it- self, thus lessening its power of pumping blood, Now as you know, some attacks of influenza seem so light that the patient perhaps just stays around the house for a few days, and then returns to work, i Other individuals are stricken 11S, MAY IMPOSE | QUGTA AN MEXICOi Land | doubtedly grown since last session of House Committee Has Im- migration Question Un- der Consideration " CANADA AFFECTED Few Congress Members Fa- vor Applying Restrictions to Dominion Washington, Sept. 24--With the opening of Congress more than twa months away the immigration question is already under consideration by the House Comniittee.

Others first suffer the attack of influenza, and then it goes on in- to bhroncho-pneumonia, and they are confined to bed for two to four weeks, Now what about protecting that important organ, the heart, during and after an attack of influenza? Some of those who recovered in a few days found that they were very slow in regaining their strength, that their work seemed unusually heavy, and that tired easily. Some who had gone right to bed for a number of days, found that they seemed about as well as ever when they returned to work at the end of a week or ten days. Those who had gone on to = broncho<pneumonia found that they were months getting back their strength. What is the lesson? That as influenza attacks the heart and may damage it perman- ently, that in all attacks of in- fluenza the patient Should go right to bed and stay just as long as his physician so advises, Don't try to belittle influenza he- cause (you are not very sick, Just try to remember that the severity of the attack may not be in pro- portion to the harmful effects up on the heart.
