PAGE FOUR THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1928 The Oshawa Baily Times {THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER a year; United States, $5.00 a year, TORONTO OFFICER 407 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Tele. phone Adelaide 0107, H, D, !Cresiddev, repre. sentative. REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1928 i 4 LOOKING AHEAD! | ------------ Foresight is undoubtedly the key to suc- cessful enterprise, Look around you in any community and you will find that the most successful men have been those who have get their minds on anticipating events, The principle has held good at all times amid all conditions, The great battles of history were won by stratagists who interpreted their op- ponents' moves correctly, Famous captains of industry and great merchants have anti- cipated public demand, When farsighted men reap the just reward for their labours there are some people who will tell you that they are lucky, Not at all, Studied application and hard work bring their sure return of success just as surely as hit- and-miss methods and dilatoriness bring failure, Such reflections come to us as we realize that the holiday season is drawing to a close and that Labor Day will soon be with us, In the twinkling of an eye the community will resume its normal stride, our children will 'be back at school, everybody will be trying to make up for lost time, Fall business acti- vities will be in full swing, The city of Oshawa prides itself upon be- ing a progressive city, Its progressiveness should be reflected in the business enterprise of its merchants, Now is the time to plan all the details of effective merchandising campaigns for the fall, It is a mistake to wait until all the novelty of the appeal has been used up by one's competitor in another city, If we are to convince people that they can shop in Oshawa as readily as elsewhere we must show them that we can deliver the goods, Early showings of seasonable merchandise in attractive variety should be offered to people upon their return to the city, which is the psychological moment to capture their fancy. Enterprise might be applied to a careful study of the calendar, having in mind special occasions of the future which will Jend themselves to attractive window dis- plays and advertising campaigns. The sub- ject is one which need not be discussed at any length, Rather is it a word to the wise in due season, Verbum sat sapienti; A word is enough for a wise man, "DRESSING UP" A shoe manufacturer with an eye to the main chance suggested the other day in the course of an address at a gathering of the trade that "through a powerful combination, the shoe maker, the clothes maker, the glove maker and all accessory makers should pool their interests and finance a high-grade cam- paign that will make men want to spruce up and dress up." ° On the word of this witness, we have it that in matters of dress our men are far be- fow the standard set by the male population fn other enlightened countries, If this in- attention to dress details were merely a ques- tion of our not being able to afford more and better clothes, this maker of shoes would let us go undisturbed on our undress way. But he thinks he sees in it 8 matter of tempera- ment: We could if we would, but we won't. © And so he urges his fellow-makers of wear- | ing apparel to dress us up. One may see, he pays, more walking sticks daily in London snd Paris than can be seen on this side. We care even less for gloves than we do for walk- ng sticks; we care less for silk hats than we do for gloves; we care less for spats than we fo for silk hats. ' ing of immeasurable areas untraversed by Gems of Verse dress advocate that we wear gloves only to keep our hands warm, and that as a rule we carry canes only when venerable and lame. That anyone should wear a pair of last season's shoes is to this manufacturer of footwear a direct slap in the face. He is go- ing to set us right in this matter at once. This trick is to be accomplished by working on our temperament. It is to be changed to conform to European models, The speaker did not tell his audience in what part of Eu- rope he has lately traveled to get his infor- mation about the better dressed Europeans, whether it was in Vienna or in northern France that he saw Tancy spats and silk hats and canes. But his appeals to our tempera- ment will have to be based more solidly on facts if they are to be effective, It is probably true that for the most part our idea of wearing clothes for comfort is a firmly fixed one. We rather suspect that some of the accoutrements with which this dress reformer would weigh us down are hang-overs of days which we thought Euro- peans were trying to leave behind them. But for all that, he will not object to anyone's trying a campaign of temperament changing. NEW WORLDS Civilized peoples today have erroneously persuaded themselves that the entire globe has been traversed, mapped and surveyed, All are well enough informed to know that vast areas of land are neither populated nor cultivated, but many have long believed that the world held forth no more secrets for its discoverers. In contradiction of the popular belief, a British army aviator reports that vast areas of the Arabian peninsula have never been visited by the white man and that it is doubtful if even the Bedouins have explored it all, Another explorer has recently apprised wondering modernity that the white man hae never set foot into the interior of many of the tropical islands of the Southern Paci- fic, Hardy explorers have reached both poles on various occasions, yet man knows noth- the polar explorers, Exploring isolated corners of the globe has been up to this time a slow, hazardous and often hopeless task, Methods of transporta- tion and communication were mainly at fault, The development of the automobile, air craft and radio has brought new hope to the ex- plorers and new promise of discovery, Another decade may find heretofore un- known lands on our maps, all of earth's face plumbed and gauged and this world shown to be a much more interesting place to live in than now, Yet with no new worlds to conquer life will lose some of its romance and suspense, There is a chord in every heart that has a sigh in it if touched aright.--Ouida, To be seventy years young is something far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old,--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Despise not any man, and do not spurn anything; for there is ro man that has not his hour, nor is there anything that has not its place.--Rabbi Ben Azai, All truth is safe and nothing else is safe; and he who keeps back the truth, or with. holds it from men, from motives of ex- pediency, is either a coward or a criminal, or both,--Max Muller, Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body, As by the one, health is pre- served, strengthened and invigorated; by the other, virtue (which is the health of the mind) is kept alive, cherished and confirm- ed.--Addison, Everyone now believes that there is in a man animating, ruling, characteristic es- sence, or spirit, which is himself. This spir- it, dull or bright, petty or grand, pure or foul, looks out of the eyes, sounds in the voice, and appears in the manners of each individual, It is what we call personality, --Chas. W, Eliot, PLAYTHINGS The streets are full of human toys, Wound up for threescore years; Their springs are hungers, hopes and joys, And jealousies and fears. They move their eyes, their lips, their hands; They are marvellously dressed; And here my body stirs or stands, A plaything like the rest. The toys are played with, till they fall, Wom out and thrown away. Why were they ever made at alll Who sits to watch the play! i Jt Js extremely, annoyipg to this better- | &:8wse 2.14 ~Robert Louis Stevenson, Tg! on et a---- hh iM Li At a Glance | If there's ome place that is not infested with mosquitoes except Orillia ye are to declare it.

Here I he an old man aye, for mor'n a year or two now, and they say golf is an' old man's game. TI recken it ain't. There's many a man who said golf was a game fer the aged and in- firm, who now is a most ardent persuer of that following. He has his right to change his mind, just the same as the wowen folks There's only one reason why I would not want to play golf, and this"s it. I went with me son-in- law to the golf linkses the other day. The sun was shinin' bright and T was in fealin' fine shape. I wached hipr smack that little hean on the broadside with one fierce smack an' we spent the rest of the afternoon lookin' fer it, Well, that's all right, but I gav&Ahim a quarter an' be hought another*ball Why on earth people start countin' on the links, I can't tell. You'd think they had no learnin,, Any- ways, I was standin' there watchin' one feller in little white bloomers swing his stick, an' after three tries, he hit the whitepill right into the middle of nowhere. He holler- ed "four" at the same time, and I just couldn't help laffin. If he thought he was goin' four miles on that hit, he was rong. But just as I was turnin' to go, that white ball whacked me 2 dirty swat right on the side of my head, and I don't remember anything after that. But still, T can't know why %e hollered "four" when he meant for me to know that he was shootin', for I knowed that he was shootin' all the time, I was wachin' him. Ld LJ * Columnistically.

YX SPEAKING (Washington Pathfinder) From now on till the elections in November, the politicians on each side will do their best to prove that the rank and file of the peo- ple are on their side and the rank and vile on the other side. LOOKS THAT WAY (St. Thomas Times-Journal) A perusal of the names of U.S. competitors at Amsterdam suggests that so many countries contribute to Uncle Sam's successes that he could hold an Olympiad of his own. GUESSING AT WEATHER (Toronto Star) The Border Cities Star thinks that '"'weather forecasters are the only chaps who can guess wrong and still draw their pay." Yet if a man could foresee what is going to happen in the stock market as aec- curately as the weather hureau foresees. what is going to happen in the great out-of-doors, he could be independently rich in no time. A WISE DISPENSATION (Hamiltgn Herald) A delusion appears to pervade the press of the country that all Governor Alfred Smith in the Unit- ed States election. Nonsense! The Smiths are the most independent lot of people on earth. But for this dispensation of providence they would all herd together and rule the earth, WOMEN ARE EASY Walter Ferguson, in York Telegram) A certain man, who had been jailed at his wife's instigation, was freed. And the newspapers, strange- ly enough, remarked that the wife seemed pleased that her husband had been released. They went back home together, Sure. That's the woman of fit for you. We haven't got enougu backbone or grit or good sense to deal with erring husbands. A man now who has decided that his wife is not treating him with justice - shows more brains. He simply leaves her, refusing longer to endure her ill humors, and after a while marries somebody else, with never a hroken heart to show for it, He will stand no nonsense, When he's through, he's through, And if he makes up his mind there's no wheedling him into changing it. But consider the women who will take back husbands who were never fit to be lived with in the first place. The records in most cities show that deserting men are frequently welcomed home with open arms and a good meal, I once knew a poor soul who liv- ed through seven of those erratic departures, of ahout eight months' duration each. And she always excused him by saying, 'He's just that way and can't help it." For women séldom look facts in the face. They go on believing the unbelievable and hoping against hope. They may know that their husubands will never im- prove and will always bring them unhappiness, but they, like God, forgive over and over again. The coming generation will be wiser than the older one has been, This is why divorces are more pre. valent than they formerly were, It is not that we are more lax or wicked but only that wives will not stand for the things they were once obliged to endure. (Mrs. New HOOVER'S POSITION (Mail and Empire) Mr. Hoover, Republican candi- date for the office of President of the United States, 18 not a public ownership man.. In his speech of acceptance he said: "Government should not engage in business in competition with its citizens. Such actions extinguish the enterprise and initiative which has been the glory of America, and which has been the root of its pre-eminence among the nations of the earth, On the other hand, it is the duty of business to conduct itself so that Government regulation or Govern- ment competition is unnecessary," At another point in his speech he strongly emphasized equality of op- portunity as the right of every citizen. **This ideal of individual- iso» based upon equal opportunity to every citizen is," he said, "the negation of socialism. It is the negation of anarchy. It is the ne- sions for regulation of public utili- ties were created to prevent dis- crimination in service and prevent extortion in rates, and thereby the destruction of equal opportunity." In his view the business of Gov- ernment is to govern, not to plunge into adventures of a commercial character. If a Government at- tends to its proper business, private corporations carrying on public utility services will not be permit- ted to take advantage of the people. With the resources at its dis: posal a Government can be more than 2a match for the most power- ful corporation aided by the keen- est brains it can employ. When private corporations engaged in a public utility -business are able to overreach the public and outwit the Government, there is usualy need, not for a change from private to public ownership, but for a change in Government. If the Government goes lo sleep of course the public may be wic- timized, but as long as a Govern- ment is alert and upright the peo- ple mead have no fear of being bled y private corporations operatiwg | publie utilities.

The commis- | | QUERIES LEGALITY Vancouver, B.C, Aug. 20.--Section 498 of the Criminal Code of Canada is under question in a hearing in Su- preme Court here before Mr. Jus. tice Murphy, involving the Produce Marketing Act of British Columbia. The section makes unlawful combina- tions to limit transportation facilities, to restrain commerce and to lessen manufacturing and competition. J. W. DeFarris, K.C, a eating for the Attorney-General of the Prov- ince, arguing in favor of the validity of the Provincial Marketing Act, stated that if the Statute conflicted with Section 498 of the Criminal Code, then the section in question was ultra vires of Parliament. Mr. Farris further suggested that if the Act conflicted wtih the section, and if the section were not ultra vires, then members of the Legisla- ture were liable to indictment for conspiracy. His Lordship directed that the Min- ister of Justice in Ottawa be notified that the section was impeached, and should state whether he intended to be represented in the argument. Ar- ument was then adjourned until Monday. The case is for the purpose of test- ing the Province Marketing Act, and is being made in an appeal of Chung Chuk, Delta Chinese farmer, who was fined ten dollars for marketing pota- toes without the consent of the Main- land Potato Committee of Direction. Chuk's counsel are attempting the validity of the Act. Ousts Competition Dealing with the Suestion of whe- ther the Statute conflicted with Sec tion 498, Mr. Justice Murphy said: "1 suggest that if this. Dominion Act is not ultra vires, then the Provincial Statute'is ultra vires, because it wipes out competition, and this is a crime." "The question is, Does it unduly interfere with transportation and commerce?" submitted Mr, Farris. "Yes, if you do away with competi- tion ; because if you do without it al- together, it is unduly," replied the judge, "If your lordship is right, then the members of the Legislature are liable to indictment for conspiracy," said Mr. Farris. Mr. Justice Murphy would not agree with this, and he said he was not concerned with who might be in- dicted, The test, according to Mr. Farris, was in the public welfare, whether the Act was for the good or bad of the public, 10 TEST BLOOD OF OBREGON'S SLAYER Toral Will Undergo Similar Examination to That of Hickman Mexico City, Aug. 20. -- Jose de Leon Toral, assassin of President» elect Obregon, is to undergo a blood- test by alienists similar to that which was performed on Edward Hickman, Los Angeles kidnapper and slayer. A petition to have Toral undergo a blood-test was made by medical ex- perts from the defence and was grant- ed. The judge at San Angel Civil Court, where the Toral case is pend- ing, has appointed two well-known doctors to perform the examination. It is revealed that Toral's testimony, so far, covers 170 sheets of Jegal pa- per.

Parr, driver of a taxi- cab in New York, is dead, and there was no need for it. He might just as well have been alive and fairly well today, nursing a couple of black eyes. He got into a fight with another driver, and when a policeman came along Parr was down and the other man, Murphy, was administering a severe trouncing. The officer advised them to get into their cab and be about their busi- ness. They did, but Parr started in pursuit of the Murphy car and drove full speed into it by way Te venge. When the wreckage was cleared up Murphy was well enough to help take Parr out of his car--dead. Revenge is poor stuff at any time.
