Inca New York and Chicago. | | SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1928 a MARKED OVERSIGHT In the Toronto Mail and Empire's Finan- cial and Commercial Review for 1927, a gen. ' eral tabulation of building for the first eleven months of 1927 amongst a selected list of Canadian cities is compared with their re. cords. for 1926, In that list, Oshawa's tre- 'mendous building year was entirely over- ldoked though it is certain that in the final summary for the year Oshawa will be en- titled to seventh place amongst Canadian cities. The following list from The Mail and Em- pire, compiled by Arthur Holman, is given: with Oshawa's totals shown in their proper place. It will be noted that the Border Cities, which are several distinct municipalities, are grouped together, Oshawa's year's total was greater than any one of them and nearly as much as all of them, The York Town. ships are also grouped together to give them a higher place than either are entitled to. 11 Months 12 Months 12 Months 927 1 1925 ; 1 926 | Montreal oy 000000 42769617 31720049 25,708,922 Toronto ,eveeeeees 27,944,769 25929589 25,797,196 Vancouver ........ 9718782 15501,262 = 7963378 Borie Cities ,.,., 9242813 12563447 8181919 ork Townships ,, 8781085 6,579,385 7,641,753 Winnipeg ..v.re0e 7,504,650 10,362, 4,154,190 ebec .. wo 6332800 3939281 3,284,371 tawa .. 5,951,325 3,001,848 4,908,687 Dshawa 4,926,000 1,211,000 Hamilton 3651650 3,128,550 « 2,676,180 Regina .... vo 3473640 4,206,341 1,178,403 jhort Arthur... 3,460,827 961,580 418,288 eStmount ...... 3,243,225 4,034,425 2904524 Paskatoon .eeeeees 3,075,345 2018204 1,109,442 London ...eeeeeee 2,751,690 3,621,200 2,389,810 'Edmonton sees 00e 2,565,540 1833735 1, PalZAry .eveeeees. 2290518 1,999,048 1,197,475 "Victoria seseseesee 1,517,808 618,239 468.3 Halifax ......0000 1,507,563 764,498 . 1,035,544 Moose Jaw .. 1,483,789 268,326 243,1 Fort William 1,199950 1,291,25C 727,340 Moncton .. 661,860 311,143 204,620 * pherbrooke " 624,180 712,150 1,037,110 t, JOIN. +0000ne.s 338,322 407,083 675,430 4 HONORS FOR WOMEN . The Women's Freedom League of Great Britain has sent a letter of protest to Pre- mier Stanley Baldwin with regard to the sllotment of honors, They complain that 00 few women are recognized and that those who were distinguished received, for the most part, only a companionship in the Order of the British Empire, The news despatch relative to this protest goes on to point out that the Women's Free- fom League was foremost in the battle for qual suffrage. While entirely of the opinion y A that women are as much entitled to vote as men, one cannot help remembering : thi slashed "Venus of the Mirror" by Velasquez §t the National Gallery when this claim is advanced, : i For in that incident lies the reason back of this paucity of honors for women who jeek them, It is entirely possible that wo. nen who engage in careers to the sacrifice »f homes are automatically debarred from jpecial honors because to confer such upon them would set up false standards of im- portance, The Anglo-Saxon tongue has conferred 4 title upon fulfilled womanhood which no niler's bestowing hand can equal, That title 8 "Mother", It is the tiara of the pessant yoman and the rarest grace of a queen. Professional suffrage reformers were £ i | i § § g : : | i 1 i £ the and to treat all attacks on pub- lie and their official acts 'as libelous. Of late there has been much criticism against malfeasance in office and tyranny. Take away this right, so long considered in. alienable, and you open the way to graft, corruption, and despotism, Those who fear criticism have no busi- ness in public life and those whose conduct in public life will not bear scrutiny should enjoy no protection against exposure, The dangers from too stringent libel laws far exceed any evils that might arise from free- dom of speech and a free press, BILLBOARD LOSES Some of the candidates for the Toronto . Board of Control scorned newspaper adver- tising and put their case before the people in the form of billboard advertising, But those who used the newspaper in prefer- ence to the billboard were elected despite the fact that some of the very men who scorned their advertising columns were sup- ported by Toronto newspapers, "Coincidence" is the retort of those who doubt the efficacy of the daily newspaper as an advertising medium, "Sound judgment" is the reply of the man who studies the mass mind, Billboard advertising fails to be as effective as daily newspaper advertising for the same reason that a man who lives next to a railway track will not be aroused by the passing of a half-mile long freight train, but he will awaken in response to a whisper across a room, The human brain has had too much ex- perience not to throw off the deadly effect of monotony automatically, It will note "Bink's Bunion Cure" on a new bill-board today ; tomorrow it will look for it; the third day the tired brain will protest; and on the fourth or even sooner it will absolutely and unconsciously ignore "Bink's Bunion Cure." What's more, the mental antipathy set up will govern no matter where the eyes bring the brain a message about that marvel of pediculture, The soul of advertising is variety, It is only in the daily newspaper that advertis. ing can escape even the monotony of a weekly or monthly magazine, | | Bit oF Verse ] BEGGAR'S TASTE One day as I was walking Down the old Kent Road, I met a little beggar man Who bore a heavy load, He had a hump upon his back, He dragged a withered leg, One eye was out, one hand was gone, What could he do but beg? I felt so sorry for him That I gave him half a crown, I said, "Where are you going, mate?" Said he, "To London Town," "And when you get to London, What are you going to do? For London Town is crowded With derelicts like you," "Oh, when I get to London, I'll find a vacant seat In front o' Princess Theatre At top o' Endel street.

CANADA'S HERD (Moncton Times) More than 1,500 buffalo calves were born this year in Wain- wright National Park, Alberta, In addition to the 3,500 buffalo now in the Wainwright herd, the k contains some 1,500 deer, 00 elk, 50 yak, 30 moose and a few antelope. To thin out the herd at Walnwright, 1,000 buf- faloes will be shot this fall and winter. The meat is sold as a commercial product, and the hides find ready market. The P. Burns Company, of Calgary, has the contract for slaughtering, The Wainwright herd increases too rapidly for the accommodation avallable in the park, in spite of the transfer of many buffalo to Wood Buffalo Park, Slave River, Northern Alberta. SPANKING WHEN YOUNG (Lethbridge Herald) Does a good spanking when young lead to success in life? "The secret is out," says the Christian States, "We now know why the Rockefellers have been so well disciplined and have been so successful, According to the As- sociated Press, spanking has been a recognized institution in the family as long as the Rockefellers can trace their generations, John D,, Sen,, was frequently laid across the parental knee, John, Jun, now a Bible class leader, al- 80 got what was coming to him from the shaving strap, the back of the hair brush or the palm of his father's masterful hand." There is bound to be considerable perturbation amongst young boys it fathers take this too seriously, But it may be that like the Rocke- fellers, they may live to be thank- ful for 'the masterful hand" of their fathers, GOOD-BYE TO DANCE PARTNER (London Daily Mail) The dance partner is out of fash- fon this winter, Most people have acquired knowledge of steps which not go long ago wére new and intri- cate, and facility and smoothness of performance have come from practice. Yet this, it seems, 1s not really the reason why women have said good-bye to seasonal partners, I did not myself discover this rea- son, so I am not riskipg any accu- sation of "cattiness" by giving it publicity, The secret has been glv- en away by a woman who had a dance partner but no longer ad- heres to him, "For," she savs, "it is likely to be unkindly sald of a girl who turns up to two or three dances running with the same man, and dances all the tinre with him, 'Ah, poor Jill, she finds it so diffi cult to attract men,'..--So now we know all about it, A BASHFUL YOUNG MAN (New York Evening World) A bashful young man etood out- side the Lost and Found Deprnrt- ment of a leading New York ho- tel nervously twisting his hat n his hand, Ever so often he would walk away but down the corridor were three other young men who waved him back, telling him to go inside and "speak right ! up." "No, I can't do it," stammered the bashful one. "You fellows come in with me, won't you?" "Sorry, old man," they laugh- ed dolefully, At last the fellow burst through the door. He was gone quite some time, but reappeared with a package under his arm and was all smiles. His friends roared with laugh- ter, ' "Well," said the bashful one, gripping the package, "they were silk ones my sister gave me and if I lost them she'd never get ov- er it; you might forget your own pajamas some day."
