The Ushawa Daily Times is a member of the Cana dian hy Canadian Daily Newspapers' As tario Provincial Dailies gh 3h Hay te office but since but a small proportion of the population can at best reach such positions it leaves the great masa not in office just where they are, If effective inducements to rear larger families can be devised for those not officeholders a much greater step to- ward increasing the population will have been taken. Any solution must be broad enough to include the nation, not merely a class. The real trouble goes far deeper than prizes or privileges are effective to remedy. It resides in the character of the French people. There are some large families in France but on the average this generation is not reproducing itself, It is claimed that four offspring are required to maintain a, family, With less it tends to disappear. Un- less there is the desire for parenthood inborn no prizes which may be offered are likely to have any material effect on the birth-rate. Unless the French people as 2 whole reform their attitude toward children the situation will grow worse. Efforts thus far made do not touch the seat of the malady. sociation, Audit Bureau SUBSCRIPTION RATES Delivered by carrier: 10¢ a week.

FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1928 THE ETERNAL ADVENTURER In flying tests made during the past year the public sees a real aid to aviation, as it also sees that they present the strongest possible argument against foolhardy at- tempts to "break records" when little good is accomplished if the undertaking succeeds. Recent experiments are all the proof need- ed to show that, no matter what precaution- ary measures are taken, something may happen, That expert aviator, Chamberlin, was forced down in two endurance tests un- der circumstances which would have prob- ably meant death had he been flying far from land. The oil reservoir springs a leak, gasoline supply proves inadequate owing to unfore- geen conditions, sleet weighs down the plane, machinery does not function, necessitating landing, Endurance flights above land would seem to give maximum of information on the reliability of flying machines with mini- mum of risk to those engaged in them, When they end prematurely it is known why they did not succeed, while in reckless endeavors to cross oceans aviators may be lost and no light at all be thrown on the causes of failure, It is certainly not casting too wet a damp- er on the spirit of adventure to ask that be- fore many more chances are taken, more about the causes of breakdowns be learned from tests where landing facilities are con- stantly available, But the landlubbers plead in vain, The spirit of competitive sportsmanship is strong within the aviator. Let one assay to break a record or cross an uncrossed ocean and the pack is after him at full bay, He is the modern edition of the eternal adventurer, EDITORIAL NOTES The more leisure you have the less time you have. The future seems to move about as fast as we do, The man of the hour takes care of the minutes. The liberty loving are being hard pressed by the liberty taking. To aim high is commendable, but some folks sim higher than their guns can carry, A mincrity of one has so far defeatad all schemes to marry off the Prince of Wales. The reason people don't recognize the road to Easy Street is because they expect to see signs advertising 20 per cent dividends, Many love-gick swains have learned that the easier a girl is to lock at, the harder she is to get at. There is plenty of make-believe, so the person who seems to be having a good time ay not be happy, Bit of Verse A FIRE OF CHERRY LOGS b MUST ALTER ATTITUDE Again the French are exhibiting worry over the state of the birth-rate. Were not Germans more numerous than the French, and also far more prolific the problem what to do about it would not be so acute, But Frenchmen are convinced that Germany only awaits the day when she sees an opportunity for revenge. In case of a clash confined to the two nations, Germany would have a great advantage in numbers, Therefore more popu- lation is the demand in France. The latest proposal for stimulating births involves pay- ing higher salaries and giving more privil- eges to officeholders with families and that I will burn cherry-logs thro' the starry hours, Shut in this shadowed house when winds blow cold, I will burn cherry-logs to smell like flowers, And bring back days of old, Ah, lovely the morning orchards by the river! Sweet larks uprising where the rain how gleams, ... I will burn cherry-logs and burn forever The old, unrestful dreams. --Anonymous, Do You Own Your Own i now Marshal 4 mew five room brick bun- galows. All conveniences. Hard- wood floors.

OHEAP AND CONVINCING (Toronto Mail and Empire) An enterprising cigarette adver- tiser, finding that most celebrities were already under contract to puff rival cigarettes, has hit upon the expedient of running a series of testimonials entitled 'What Famous People Would Have Sald About It is quite as con- vincing as the other testimonials, and a good deal cheaper. A FINAL OFFER (Chicago Post) It was a meeting of Abe's credi- tors. "There, gentlemen, are my as- sets and liabilities," sald Abe, "and the very best I can do, gentlemen, is ten cents on the dollar." So. the creditors looked over the situation and reported hack that they felt forty cents on the dollar would settle the matter. Abe took time out, and then he comprom- ised. "Gentlemen, I cents and you offer you say forty. fer of twenty-five cents, but hon- est, gentlemen, I'm losing money on it." MR. FORKE'S PLEDGE (From the Ottawa Journal) When Mr. Robert Forke rose on 2 question of privilege to deny Dr. Edwards' assertion that he (Mr. Forke) gave a solemn, writ- ten pledge to ILord Byng that he would support the Meighen Minls- try of 1926 until the session was ended and supply voted, and then violated his pledge, he was at least technically right. What happened, apparently, was this. Lord Byng asked Mr. Meighen whether he would have any objection to his having a talk with Mr. Forke about the parlia- mentary position. Mr. Meighen sald that he had no objection, whereupon Lord Byng sent for Ms. Forke to come and see him. Mr. Forke, it appears, misunder- stood the nature of the summons. When Lord Byng asked him wheth- er he thought Parliament would complete the sessional program, Mr. Forke took from his pocket a paper which he said was a resolu- tion of his party declaring that they were prepared to support Mr. Meighen to complete the work of the session. He offered this paper to Lord Byng, but Lord Byng told him that he could not accept it, as it was not his task to arrange for support for any Ministry in the Commons. Mr. Forke then put the paper back into his pocket and departed with it. It is fairly clear, therefore, that Mr. Forke made no solemn pledge to Lord Byng to support Mr. Meighen. On the other hand, it is equally clear that the Progres- sive party did pass some sort of resolution pledging its support, and then turned around and violat- ed it. A WISE MAN---A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.--Prov. ih. £ PRAYER --Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path. ten | Now, | gentlemen, I make you a final of- | You read frequently about a di- lated stomach, a "dropped" stom- ach, and perhaps you have an idea that this type of stomach is a big hollow organ hanging down in the abdomen all the time. As a matter of fact the normal stomach 1s a large organ, and when tilled has a capacity of three to four pints, but when it is empty it does not hang fully distended. In fact its walls practically touch one another, You see its walls have muscular coats which run lengthwise, eircu- larly, and obliquely, and these muscles when they act, churn up the food just as milk is churned for butter, or. soiled clothing churned in the water of a washing ma- chine. Now, when food enters a healthy or normal stomach these muscular walls contract or shorten in their efforts to have this food well mixed with the stomach digestive juice. If they do not contract or short- en, then the food distends the stom- ach and it is called a dilated stom- ach. As the stomach is dilated and the muscular walls not working any too well, it means that the stomach will be slow in emptying i contents into the small intes- ne. There will thus ensue some ac- cumulation of gas which causes pressure, and sometimes pain. Further, in nervous individuals the emotions can interfere with the working of these muscular coats of the stomach, The main symptom in this loss of muscular tone In the stomach is the 'sense of pressure in the stomach region." Now, your doctor {in treating you, will suggest small meals tak- en four or five times a day. However, there "is no question but that where you find weakness in the muscles of the walls of the stomach, you will usually find weakness in all the muscles of the body, so that regular exercise which will strengthen the body wil) be of help to the stomach mus- cles. Because if the muscles of the ah- domen are developed hy bending exercises, with knees straight, the abdominal walls will tighten and will thus help hold the stomach up in its proper position. I have outlined before the sim- ple method of helping the stom- ach to empty itself. About four hours after you have eaten, or just before your next meal, you lie down on your right side for ahout ten minutes. Thus any food lying in the stom- ach is syphoned into the intestine and the stonrach gets a little rest before the next meal. You can see that this is a valuable help in pre- venting the stomach from being distended for too long a period at a time, RIOTS CAUSED BY TREATY FAILURE American College in Egypt Attacked -- Other Disorders London, March 8.---The Ameri- can College at Assult, Egypt, be- came the centre of a riot which broke out there today as a result of the breakdown of the Anglo- Egyptian treaty negotiations. Students of the Sheikh School struck and attempted to bring out the pupils of the American Col- lege. The mob attacked the col- lege buildings, smashed the gates, tore up trees and stoped the build- ing, breaking most of the windows, The principal, Dr. Russell, with his staff defended the building fair- ly successfully and prevented the attempt to terrorize his students. The defenders, including the prin- cipal, suffered minor inuries in the fight. Cairo quieted down this after- noon following student rioting there earlier in the day. But the situation as Tantha, a Delta town fifty-five miles from Cairo, is more serious. There a mob at- tacked the police station and the police fired in the air, It is report- ed many on both sides were in- jured. The town is one of the strongholds of the extreme Na- tionalists. Three police cars were burned by the rioters. At Shebin EI Kom, a town eighteen miles south of Tantha, an English school master named Buxton, had carbolic acid thrown in his face.. The morning riot jim Cairo broke out when 1,600 students who are on strike attacked and stoned the police who finally charged them with clubs. The police wore steel helmets and car- ried shields as protection against the stones but a number of them were hurt. They finally scattered the rioters after injuring twenty eight of them, three seriously. CONFIRMED SUPERINTENDENT OF POST OFFICE FINANCES Ottawa, March 8.--The apoint- ment of H. E.
