"MANNERS OF THE BARNYARD" That companionate marriages mean "a ve. turn to the manners and morals of the bam. yard" is the quoted statement of Rev, George Laughton of 8t, James' Methodist Church, Montreal, in Monday's "Mail and Empire," While the analogy which the speaker en- deavored to draw is not far to seek, there yet remains a certain injustice in the state- ment that should not be overlooked, The barnyard, whatever its morals, has a certain dignity, and nowhere more exult- ingly personified than in the combed and spurred sultan whose gravity of manner is no doubt measurable only by his just self. esteem, There is room for much doubt, however, if there is any dignity in this new-fangled "companionate marriage," At its best, it is merely a compromise with the old fashioned system of the new and, evidently, worthless son-in-law living on the old folks, At its worst, i. is another eruption of the Kansas spirit, It may be Missouri at tlat; but whether on the Mississippi or the Kaw, the companionale marriage as described is mere- ly a publicity stunt to begin with, and it will end in the same grand old divorce court where mosal crookedness can get legal ab- solution for violating the seventh command. ment, Returning to the barnyard--which is a relief after coniemplating this latest scheme to reduce civilization to the lowest level of barbarism--one cannot help voicing a8 pro- test, It must be admitted that the patriar- chal system rules there, but it had its vir- tues. The hen is a good mother and the rooster is a good patriarch, To the human eve he may seem somewhat of a puffed-up ole fool, but isn't there a tradition that it is chanticler's crow in the morning which makes the sun rise? If the rooster believes this--and to judge by his bearing he does-- he would scem to be self-justified in his air of imporiance. At least, he bears a sound conscience and is able to look any man or rival rooster in the eye, It is to be doubted if the male of the companionste genus--given a mirror-- could look e.en himself in the eye, EDITORIAL NOTES Heat retaining bottles are in the same class with the old style Ford car--there's too many of them all looking alike and rather cheap.

While it is nice to see a 8 and a reduction of the debt in sight, still it is regret- table that the Province has been inta the liquor business to accomplish this end. The financial balance sheet shows up well Will the moral balance sheet of the Pro- vince be indebted by more than the amount represented in revenue? Will Ontario be better for the revenue of over three million dollars piled up from the engaging in the sale of lig- vor, is a question that is being ask- ed by many, SHAVING AND MORALS (Westminster Gazette) e paign being conducted by the "Council for Good Morals" in Mecca provides something of a counterpoise to the frequent items of news which point to the Western. ization of the East and Near East. The Government has evidently for- bidden trimming, shaving of beards and half-measures with the hair are also prohibited--the European com- promise between great length and total absence being in great disfavor. Since these measures are being enforced by the Council, we can on- ly surmise that morality is profound- ly affected by the state of the whisk- ers and hair, From Constantinople on the other hand, we heard last week that a chance remark made by a prefect of the city had been inter- preted as an order for municipal employees to shave off their beards, and was obeyed before the next morning. A beard has always been a most treasured possession in the Near East, but the conflict between this adronment and smartness is by no means new. Peter the Great placed a tax on beards, and posted clerls at the gates of the town'in order to collect the ines. WHERE WOMEN DRESS (From the Brandon Sun) Undoubtedly the women of France possess an artistry in dress. Many wealthier nations secm clumsy in comparison to this distnctive charm. There is a natural "wear" to the wo- men of France. A stylist declares the French weman, although ccnforming to the last word in the mode, will have her own individual way of dressing. Her frock, her hair, the manner in which she puts on her hat will have a distinctly personal touch. If any line produces a pretty but commonplace effect, it will have to give way to some harsher movement than at least will be individual. Again our women are often careless about apparently trivial nuances. Their stockings or gloves may not be in exactly the right shade, a pin may be placed in not exactly the right spot on the hat, and the pow- der may be too generously and hur- riedly applied to the tips of their small noses, A Frenchwoman will go nowhere until every depail of her costume has been thoroughly attended to, Gloves, shoes, bags, and hats may have been tried and discarded more than once before she is satisfied that the perfect accessories have been chos- en for the occasion. Her face has been massaged and creamed and powdered to an even smoothness, and her hair has been carefully dressed before leaving the house. And it is these very attentions to every minute detail that gives her the lead in stmartness over the more beautiful but less well-groomed western wo- men, DRUMMING UP THE NEXT WAR (Sarnia Canadian-Observer) The talk about an fpevitable European war goes on. A French public man says that the show- down will come in 1935. He makes the interesting suggestion that in another war in Europe, the United States I not be on the same ence being that naval competition has driven 8 wedge between the affections of these nations.

Don't you know that the heart lies there?" "Sure, I did," was the reply, "but mine was in me mouth at the time." A portly country woman was pay- ing a Christmas visit to ler daugh- ter's at London.

"INDIGESTION" To many folks it nust appear that the number of stun:ach ail- ments is rapidly increasing, and ta umber af operaii'ns on the stoma-h and small intestine, usu- ally for uleer, 1s increasing In pro- portion. Now, as therp opereztions mean removal of port of stomach, or making a new pessage from stomn- ach to intestine, part of the job that the stomach should do towards digestion of food is lost, and these folks must live very earefully or the trouble, either whole or in part, returns. Should they undergo an- other operation the chances for a real good job the second time wiv pone too good. Now, some physicians tell us that if patients with stomach or igtes- tinal ulcer would eat carefully for two years, every case would recyy- er and there would be no need for any operation, In fact, his records show that 50 per cent of all his cases recover without operation.» He refers, of colrse, to the sim- ple ulcer that is not complicated by other conditions. Now, if the number of operations {for this condition is increasing at | worth while to think about this non-surgical treatment. Not that surgery doesn't Eive brilliant results in the. majority of cases, but if the operation can be avoided it is certainly worth the effort.

PARISIAN JOLTED BY SOVEET 30,000,000 Russian Storage Eggs Unloaded in Last 'Four Months 3 -- Paris, Dec. 15.--The Soviet Rus- sian Government has en<ineered a coup-de-theatre on the Paris egs- market which is causing consterna: tion among French dealers, es- pecially the French Farmers' Co- operative Associations which sup: During the last four months, it was learned Thursday, he Soviet Government has dumped 80.000,- 000 storare eggs upon the Parls market.
