All of us owe it to ourselves, our families and our friends to dress well. This is not an glvertisement for the clothing merchant, or any other merchant; it is a plea for better dress and for what it means. Better dress does not mean that we shall "flower out" in suit every time that fashion decrees a change; we can dress well by dress- ing neatly and not fadishly, and we can dress well without expensive clothing, We - can be neat in appearance without a new be clean; our shoes can be clean--and not run down at the heel--and our hat can reflect good taste, "The first thing I notice about a woman is her hat and then I look at her shoes," is the observation of an Oshawa man, who dresses well, but not expensively, and whose wife dresses well, but not expensively. "A good front" gets one by, it carries an introduction by itself; it inspires confidence; it brings business; it is an ambassador of commercial progress; it is vital to a young man or- a young woman; it is vital to the middle aged; it is decidedly pleasing in peo- ple of old age. folks "with a good front," We ought to cul- tivate the habit of always having "a good We--all of us--like to meet cheaper," sharp curve, tion, in order know it, EDITORIAL NOTES Ancient saying.

FAULTY BRAKES (Niagara Falls Review) It is strongly suggested that the time is'coming in the pear future when brakes must be tested and certified regularly; and the care- ful motorist will make no objeec- n. When it is remembered that $00,000 people were killed or in- jured in sutomobile accidents in the United States alone last year and the fap. that faulty brakes cause a majority of all accidents the need for such a Jaw may be realized. It is the height of fol- Jy to drive with faulty brakes.' ELOQUENCE TAKES WING : (Toronto Star) When the Albany-Buffalo air mail route was opened the other day, Pre- sident O'Ryan of the Colonial West- ern Airways made short speeches at Albany, Schenectady, Rome, Utica, Syracuse and Buffalo. These ad- dresses were all made between 10.15 am. and 4.30 p.m.--six addresses at six s, scattered over 300 miles of rritory, and all in six and a quarter rs. It has been done once, and in a year or two it is going to be done Fl ly. Politicians will speak in treal at noon and in Toronto in the evening, with intermediate stops and speeches at Brockville, Kingston, Belleville and Oshawa. But if a speaker loses track of himself--if he becomes confused with all this rush- ing hither and thither, there are li- td be some disastrous mistakes. Jf he thinks he is still in Ontario and makes a public ownership speech at Montreal, or if he thinks he is still in Quebec and denounces the St. Lawrence waterway in Toronto, it will be a black day for his party, But there is one good thing about the innovation. It would seem to en- ccurage short speeches, And if one city refuses to listen to an orator, he can flit off speedily to the next and love no time upon the irreconcilables who decline to hear him. A transcontinental political cam- paign by aeroplane is a possibility of the next few years. JOHN D, IS 80 (Stratford Beacon-Herald) John D. Rockefeller was 89 years old on Sunday, and when be came out of his home in the morn- ing there was a new Ford car, which had been sent to him with the compliments of Henry Ford. On the steering wheel was a personal note; we are not told what was in it, but perhaps a few instructions telling John pot to put his foot down too hard on the gas, or something like that. Some place in the Bible it says, "To him that hath shall be given." That birthday preséntation goes to prove that the Old Book is right. We know quite a few folk around here who would gladly have accepted a car from Mr. Ford on Sunday morning or any other mors- ing, afternoon or evening. Yes, we'll guarantee to send him along a list of names and addresses. And they haven't got anything like the amount of money that John D. Rockefeller possesses, WHY REVIVE IT? (Lindsay Daily Post) The annual struggle to revive lacrosse in Canada is again in full swing. Nearly every year the of- ficers of the O.A.L.A. try to stage a comeback and overhaul the rule book in an effort to eliminate the objectionable featurés of the game to the end that it may be restored to the publie's favor. There is just one point in connec. tion with this many times at- tempted revival and that is this, any game that needs reviving is- n't worth the trouble. Lacrosse killed itself. in Canada by sheer hooliganism and it is most unlike- ly that it will ever again be re- stored to popularity. Itis a fine game but unfortunately it is a game that is very trying on the temper and one that gives plenty of opportunity for dirty play if a player is so minded and many of them are at times in a game, A great deal of the dirty play comes from half-trained, half condition- ed players going on the field and becoming tired before the game progresses very far and then tak- ing out their tired feelings on their opponents, That is one of the strongest factors working against the revival of the game and one that will probably keep it from ever amounting to any- thing again.

Berlin, July 14.--More than a year has elapsed since the German Gov- ernment announced it would claim complete evacuation of the Rhineland on the ground of Article 431 of the Treaty of Versailles, as soon as it considered the right moment had come. Whether Dr. Stresemann will put forward this claim at the ninth assembly of the League of Nations at Geneva in September is still uncer- tain, but the psychological factors in favor of the German claim are stead- ily multiplying. All over the world voices are being raised protesting that the continued occupation of the Rhine provinces by foreign troops, ten years after the armistice, instead of serving the cause of peace consti- tutes a perpetual menace to it. In England the Liberal Manchester Guardian, as well as the Conservative Sunday Observer, cry out for immedi- ate evacuation; in France the Na- tionalist editor, Gustave Herve, joins hands with the Socialist politician, Vincent Auriol, in support of the same cause. Recewtly the eloquent RBel- gian orator, Emile Vandervelde, pro- posed in the Belgian Parliament that the second zone of Rhineland should be abandoned this year hy the Allies --a year ahead of the date fixed by the treaty--as a gesture of psi toward the Pacifist Cabinet of Her- mann Mueller. In this country, where the thought of the Rhine evokes the same patriotic images that the names Concord and Mount Ver- non conjure up in our minds, the agi- tation for a return of the occupied districts to the Fatherland naturally are more intense. In Program The evacuation of the Rhineland is placed in the foreground of the pro- gram outlined by Chancellor Marx in introducing his Cabinet . to the Reichstag a. year ago, as 'well as by 'Herr Mueller in reading his own ministerial declaration a few days ago. President Hindenburg, in his speech to the foreign diplomats on ew Year's Day, declared: "The for- eign occupation of our soil is incom- patible with the last pacification," while Dr. Stresemann echoed this thought in the Reichstag a month la- ter when he asserted that the Rhine- land occupation, which he appropri- ately called the "iron curtain tween France and Germany," repre- sented an "impregnable barrier to Franco-German rapprochement." In the past year 200 acts of vio- fence were committed by the allied troops in the Rhingland. In that region 8,600 private homes have now heen requisitioned for the use of al- lied troops. The presence of negro troops in the Rhineland operates as an especial source of humiliation to the natives. During a recent trip up the Rhine I saw a number of French colonial troops with their red fez hoth at Coblenz and Mainz. Any Ameri- can who comes from below the Ma- son-Dixon line can readily appreciate how irritating to the German popula- tion the sight of these soldiers as conquerors must he, no matter how well hehaved or orderly they conduct themselves. Business Restricted Another grievance of the civilians' population is that their ordinary business pursuits are frequently re- stricted by decrees from Paris which appear to the layman devoid of any military or political justification, Last month, for instance, the work of extending the railway station at Russelheim, near Frankfort, was or- dered stopped by the French occupa- tion authorities, who declared that permission must first be obtained from Paris before construction could he completed. As a result a number of employees of the Open Automo- bile plant had to he dismissed as the present station facilities of Russel- heim are inadequate for handling the volume of production. Similarly about the same time the building of a new bridge over the Mosel at Zelt- ingen had to be suspended by order of the French authorities, although no reason was given for their edict. Three weeks ago a monument was unveiled at Coblenz to Johann Go- erres, a German Liberal who played a prominent part in the war of lib- eration. The inter-allied Rhineland High Commission forbade broadcast- ing the speeches made at the cere- mony on instructions, it is said, from Paris. Since the speeches were fully reported in the newspapers which circulated in the occupied area, it is difficult to see the purpose of the in- junction. Little pinpricks like these appen nearly every day unperceived by the outside world continue large- ly to undo the notable work accom- plished by Briand and Dr. Strese- mann at Locarno and Geneva toward healing the wounds of war. The language of neither the Ger- man president nor the Foreign Min- ister is exaggerated. It is illustrated constantly by the comparatively hum- drum happenings in the Rhineland quite apart from the more serious incidents, such as the shooting up of three German civilians by Lieut. Roccier in a drunken brawl in the autumn of 1926, t as long as the allied troops remain on German soil the danger of international com- plications thr h such epi s is ever present. That is front page news, but the development of friend- ly relations between France and Ger- many is perhaps even hampered by such occurrences as a German de- partmental official, Schmid, described in the Reichstag last February, which do not make a newspaper story. A Princeton professor thinks radio may be used to drive away germs. But how are they going to be sure be- | SNAKE INTERRUPTS MARRIAGE CEREMONY (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont., July 14--It is not often that society writers have some- thing directly in their own province Neh is nique. Therefors, the other Ay when a wedding took place at Riverwood, Erindale, in the lonely Credit Valley, (the affair being made a picturesque fete at which 500 guests were present) a "pageant-like bridal" well described it. Marguerite, daughter «f Mr. and Mrs. W. R. P. Parker, was the bride and Mr, Som- ers, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Som- ers, the bride-groom. A buffet dinner was served at sun- set on the terrace, the ceremonics throughout being out of doors. Danc- ing was almost continuous; some went in swimming, one young matron had a flying trip as well when an acroplane in which she was a passen- ger showered confetti and roses. As twilight came the hillside was alight with colored lanterns and bonfires, Just after the bride's father had read a congratulatory wire from Pre- mier King (who had also sent the bride silver candlesticks) a cry was heard about the bride and feminine guests drew back in horror. A snake had appeared from a crevice in the rocks and was gliding about the bri» dal party. Then the bride's father tried to reassure the company: "Re- member, there was a snake even in the Garden of Eden," quoth he, MONTREAL MINER SEEKS COMPANIONS Wants 25 Young Men to Share Hazards and Profits Montreal, July 14.--The days when men fared forth to seek fortune and fame have returned, in a lesser de- gree hut in the same spirit, in a sug- gested expedition to seck gold in the Canadian Rockies. Nye deMers, the owner of a pla- cer gold mine in the mountains, is searching for 25 ambitious young men who will relinquish the family hearth and turn their faces toward the West. Mr. deMers is a Montrealer who went west several years ago in the search for gold. He has spent some time in the Rocky Mountains and is a member of the Revelstoke Board of Trade. Eventually in his prospecting he struck the little ereek in the woods that hid the precious ore. There he staked, and there he worked his claim in fair weather and foul. The gold was slow in coming, and hardly paid expenses at first, hut the lonely miner in the hush toiled on until one day the shaft in the bank of the stream, that had been so laboriously dug, bore fruit. Little particles of shining yellow gleamed through the dirt, Then a catastrophe fell on the hopes so near realization. Mr. de- Mers broke his leg and was carried away from the creek and out of his beloved mountain paradise. Since that unlucky day, a year ago, he has recuperated in his home in Montreal. His mine is near Arrowhead Lake, British Columbia, and the property on: which it is located is leased by Mr. deMers for 20 years. It has a little brook running through it, and it is in the brook that the prospec- tive fortune lies. The property itself is about 2700 acres and is covered with tall timber. : Communication with the railroad is established by a stage coach as far as Lake Arrowhead, and thence to the town by steamboat. The present claims on the creeks are not the first that have been work- ed there. Years ago when the big rush to the British Columbia gold fields was in its prime, the creck served to grubstake penurious pros- pectors whose dreams had received a rude awakening in the wild seram- ble for riches. When Mr. deMers first came to the spot he, too, just panned the gravel in the time honored "slopping" fa- shion. Later he realized his oppor- tunities and built sluice-ways. From his calculations it was found that the ore in the creek returned values of from 35 cents to $170 to the cubic vard. later a mean aver- age of 75 cents became the regular order of the output. Assays show deposits of silver, zinc and lead, as well, but it is the gold that Mr. de- Mers is counting on to gain him 25 partners in the venture, ; The camp is a picturesque spot high in the Rockies, with an elevation of 2800 feet. There will be hardships for the men, who will entrench them- selves 22 miles from the nearest rail- road but there will be compensations to alleviate the solitude of the bush. Hunting is good and fishing better, stated the miner when describing the area, where nothing disfigures na- ture except the mouths of the six yawning shafts that gape from the creek-side.

OPEN EVENINGS SCORES PRACTICE WILLING PROPERTY OUTSIDE FAMILIES Wife and Family of Man Should Receive Benefit of Wordly Earui 1S JUSTLY THEIRS (By Canadian Press) _ Toronto, Ont, July 14--"1 think it is a scandalous thing that a man can will all his property away from his wife and children," said Hon. Wallace Nesbitt, K.C.,, treasurer of the Law Society of Upper Canada, at a banquet given to visiting wo- man lawyers by their sisters of On- tario. "1 would like to see you ad- vocatec a change in our laws," le went on. "It is a gross injustice that the woman and family who depend upon him, and who have taken part in the joint adventure of life, should be deprived of what is justly theirs. I would like to see you back up the attempt of Hon. G. Howard Fergu- son to remedy this. You as young lawyers can do much. You talk about the English women lawyers, but I know that Lady Astor, Miss Bond- field, the Duchess of Athol and some others 1 have heard are not capable of making better addresses than | have heard you make here tonight." He made special reference to the speech of a young Buffalo lawyer, and to that of Miss Ruby Wigle. "1 believe," he said further, "that the advent of women in law, and the influence of the girl-secretary has been of great benefit. They never betray a confidence and are discre- tion itself, 1 am sure the Discipline Committee will not have to deal with women, who have the attribute of honesty to a marked degree as com- pared with men." Miss Bertha Stoutmen, oi Buffalo, spoke of the prejudice which wo- men lawyers encountered in the car- lier years, a prejudice that has since disappeared in the United 'States. "Girls have proved themsclves ac- ceptable in lay offices, and acquired positions quite readily, while women of exceptional brilliancy and applica- tion are forging to the front," she declared. "In Buffalo there are over 20 women lawyers.' She spoke of Judge Norris, of Cleveland, in the women's city court, as one of the outstanding women in the profession. She also mention- ed Miss Cline, of Cleveland, who had been made a judge of the federal court, the first woman to be so elected. In New York the women of the legal profession are working hard to make it possible for a woman to act on a jury, she explained. "In 23 states they have obtained this privi- lege and it is found to work well, particularly in the west, I hope we will soon have it in New York State and that also you will soon have it in Ontario." ROBB GIVES CONSENT Ottawa, July 13. -- It is an- nounced by Hon, James A. Robb, Minister of Finance, that consent has been given under Section 99 of the Bank Act to an agreement being entered into for the purchase by the Canadian Bank of Com- merce of Stanadrd Bank of Can- ada, the consideration of such pur- chase being one share of the stork' of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce, the consideration for such purchase being one share of the stock of the Canadian Bank of Commerce for each outstanding share of stock of the Standard MANY PROBLEMS FOR AUTHORITIES ON IMMIGRATION (By Camadian Press) Toronto, Ont., July 13. -- "My husband has been refused admis- mission into Canada because he is 50 years old," a woman recently told officials of the British Wel- come and Welfare League. Upon investigation it was found he had been suffering from an ailment many years, and his case had been referred to Ottawa for further im- vestigation. The incident recalls the case of a young woman, who, it was claimed was barred from Canada because she weighed 157, when later evidence proved the girl weighed more than 200 pounds. The Welcome League, the other day, refeived an appeal from a girl whose friend was refused admis- sion into Canada '"'because she had warts", It turned out the girl's arms were covered with warts of a contagious nature. RETURN FARE SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR EMIGRANTS IS OPINION Toronto, July 14--A certain daily newspaper says editorially: "A Bri- tish member of Parliament suggests that women emigrants going to the Dominions under assisted passage schemes should be guaranteed their return fare after a certain period had elapsed. His idea is that women may be deterred from emigrating through fear of being unable to raise money for the return passage if life overseas proves uncongenial. If it will bring a large number of desir- able women to Canada, especially to the West, the scheme might be given a trial. It will be necessary to pro- vide certain precautions to prevent 'joy-riders." With such precaution the scheme seems practicable. We have confidence enough to belicve that women, worth their salt, from any country in the world, will give Can- ada the preference once they have made a fair trial of it, ' UNKNOWN MAN IS VICTIM OF MURDER Finding of Body in Rive Near Buckingham Leads to Mystery The unknown man, whose bod was found floating in the Ottaw River, mear Buckingham. on Jund 20, was murdered, according to thd autopsist who examined the bod before it was interred last Tues day.
