Amongst other bril. Mant things, "Truth" declares that "the idea of war does not seem to worry Canada, She possibly takes it for granted that the Mon- roe doctrine stretches north as well as south, in which case she must be rather welcoming big new naval i of the United tes." Canadians take nothing of the sort for granted. They know that the United States has its hands full--between partisan senators and tropical savagery--to maintain even a fiction of its prestige under that fa- mous theory enunciated by Presiden. Mon- roe. Wha. Canada has taken for granted is British understanding ol its proulems and difficuities, Is siaies.aen, loyal to the Brit 18h connection, ave felt thai the Unileu Kingdom could measure its innate imperial- ism by something iar more s.gniiicant than the maintenance of a Dominion navy, name- ly: The amazing fact that des_ite the law. of geography, the temptation of contiguily, and the commercial and social interests whieh "it shares with the Uniied States, Uanada re.aains the only scli-governing sec- tion of the British Empire overseas that is still content to fly the Union Jack as its national stanuard, This is no aigument against Canada's taking its fair share oi the burden ot Im- perial defence, It is somewhat diminishing to Canadian dignity, to say nothing ot shame to British-Canadian loyaity, that the Dominion's "navy" couldn'c protect Halifax from loot by any earnest and well equip- ped' pirate, Canada, however, can be well trusted to deal with these aspects of the case without any sneering and palpably unfriendly sug: gesiions from British editors, If "Truth" really wants to render an im- perial service, it might start an agitation to have despatches trom correspondents of the American Yellow Press strictly censored, Such a course might reduce Rt. Hon, Mr. Lloyd George's income but it would also eliminate the weekly despatch from Melton Mobray of the Prince of Wales taking a header from his horse, RELATIVITY OF GENIUS Two British savants and a United States university president recently debated wheth- er this age, like others before it, has its genuises in art, science, invention and thought, Strangely enough the American took the negative side and the Englishmen the positive. The layman is prone to agree with Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir Arthur Keith that THE OSHAWA DAILY [IME SORE The Board moved with despatch--not to say there is so much genius in this age of wond- ers and one lives so close to it that few recognize it when they see it. Genius was more conspicious in the past because it was rarer, Genius must have gone into the develop- ment of the radio and aviation. How else is the advance of the sciences to be account- ed for except by contributions from mod- ern geniuses? And the spark of genius is apparent in the work of some modern writ: ers, painters, and sculptors. One does noi have to seek far to discover genius in mod- ern architeciure, engineering, industry, in- vention, commerce, finance, education and »olitics, People do not realize the wonders that 4re happening quietly among them. In this evolutionary period, the world is changing as it sweeps along, Great discoveries arc seing made, unknown to millions of peopl vho live their daily lives in the hurly-burly nodern world.

At the very time when Litvinoff was so- lieiting an interview with Sir Aus- ten Chamberlain with a view to the renewal of diplomatic re'a- tions. Stalin, in Moscow, was deo- livering an eight hours speech in which principles entirely incom- patible with such relations were laid down, But that is not all. The incon- sistency extends to Soviet Russia's attitude towards the League of Nations; for at the time when Lit- vinoff was making his remarkable pro~osal for complete disarma- me t Stalin was announeing that 'the chief task of the Comumnist party in regard to foreign policy was the strengthening of the mil- itary resources of the U. 8. 8.

SKYSCRAPERS ASTRIDE STREETS (Chicago Daily News) In purbuance of an agreement with the New York eity govern- ment, the New York Central rail- road is to construct a thirty-five story skyscraper across Park av- enue, The building is not to block the street, however, but to open it up, for through the strue- ture will be run two road ways, to which access is to be had un- der arches fifty feet high, The agreement between the railroad and the municipality was undertaken in an effort to re- lieve congestion in the crowded traffic area around the rallroad's 42nd street terminal, The plans contemplate, besides the arched roadways through the Park Ave. building, elevated roadways to eliminate grade crossings else- where in the district and other construction that will break bot- tlenecks and make movement freer in a region in which, auto- mobile trafic is constantly in- creasing. Chicago would profit 8 great deal by similar treatment of at least one of its congested trafic areas.

By James W Barton, M.D. Registered in Accordance with the Copyright Act THE USE OF SALT You and I like to use salt on our food, or have it used during the cooking process, and this is only a natural and wise desire on our part. Every animal needs the various mineral salts, and dthe ordinary table salt, and baking soda, which are called sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate respectively, are two that are most useful and enjoyable, However, as we grow older it has been found that too much of these salts has a tendency to raise the blood pressure, and experiments would tend to prove that high blood pressure, and the symptoms of high blood pressure, can be reduced and controlled by watching the salt intake with our food. Dr, E. R, Blarsdell, of Portland, Me., reports 35 cases in which the blood ,although the pressure was reduced to normal in but a small number, there was a marked low ering of the blood pressure in prac tically every case. "Also there was a decidedd re lief in 'all' cases," Although under observation for a comparatively short length of time, the high blood pressure was reduced within the first month and did not go up again as lon: as the patient remained faithfu to his diet, The patients went about 'thei: ordinary work, and were able tc do it with greater esse. Salt was not used in preparing the food nor was it permitted at the table, Baking soda also war not used during the cooking pro- cess, Of course the hard part of this trea*ment is not being permitted to use the table salt, Now, as mentioned above, the common salt is especially usefu! in the body, as it* stimulates ap retite and aids stomach digestior by helping to form the digestiy« Juice itself, It comprises 60 pe: cent, of all the salts in the blood However, where the blood pres sure is high, foods rich In suis chould be limited in the amount eaten, Cereals contain most salts, veue- tables next, me:t next, and truits and nuts least of all, Remember the sugcestion to cut dow non s°lIt intake, applies onl to those individuals with high blood pressure, Crisp Comment The national spirit is something not under control of the Ontario Liquor Control Board,--Guelph Mercury.

DEATH CLEARS I1P GRILLIA MYSTERY One of Two Men Dies Following Motor Car Accident Orillia, ont., Jan. 3.~Word re- ceived from Robston, Texas, has solved the mystery of the disap- pearance of two Orillia. men be lieved drowned on Georgian Bay last May. A wire to J. F. Brecklon announces that his som, Keeble Breckton had been injured in a motor accident, while his compan- ion, Siduey Cane, had succumbed to his injuries. The men disappeared while fishing on Georgian Bay on May 11. Three days later their upturned boat was found near Port McNicol, Nothing haz been heard since, until the wire announcing the. accident. Kane was a married man with a wife and child in Orillia, Breckton is single. According to the story told by Breckton to his father, the couple were picked up by a rum runner bound for the States when their boat capsized, Breckton was dazed for several days, After they landed in the States, they decided to stay there and made their way to Robston, where they have resided since. Both were well provided with funds. While the men were generally believed dead, evident prepara- tions of Cane for a long absence when he left Orillia for Midland on May 10 gave credence to the theory that the men had vanished voluntarily. Provincial police worked for many days to clear up the mystery, According to word received by Mr. Breckton, the men were pre- paring to return home when the accident happened, Breckton is no* seriously injured, AUCTION SALE in the yards at 41 King street west, Oshawa, Saturday, Jan, 7th at 2 p.m. of one team of Bosch, 7 and 8 year old; a wagon; set sleighs and harness; 2 Spring wagons; 2 bu-gies; 1 cutter; a quantity of 'arm implements; some furniture; 75 pairs new rubbers, all sizes; a quantity of repairs for BT, Let. ter Carrier and hay forks.
