THURSDAY, AUGUST 27th, 1931 THE FAVORED FEW A good deal has been appearing in the Y lately regarding the alleged mistreat- ment of American motorists. As one reads of the complaints, in nearly ~all cases coming from visiting tourists, against the enforcing of our traffic laws, it would appear that these Americans expect to come to this country and do pretty well as they please. They break our laws and seem to think they have suffered an injus- tice when they are hauled into police court and fined. Perhaps they have the idea that because they honor us with their presence they are at liberty to ignore our laws, en- danger our children and get away with things for which a Canadian would be sev- ** erely punished. "It is all very well to encourage tourists to come to Canada, but we feel that hospi- tality has its limits, and if tourists come to Canada they ought to be prepared to obey the law; if they do not then they ought to be punished as our own people are, and ""taught that in Canada there is only one law for all, with no exemptions for the fav- ored few. RUBBER TUBES DANGEROUS FOR NON-SWIMMERS . Many of the devices employed by those anxious to learn swimming are postively Water wings and inflated rub- are responsible for many mishaps. Below awe publish an editorial from the Toronto ~ Mail and Empire which might be read with fhe tubes in the water. vantage. i "The drowning of a 12-year old girl dur- 'ing a picnic at Preston Lake directs atten- 'tion again to the danger of using inflated Supported by e tube, she drifted into deep water, slip- ped through it, and was drowned before her 'mishap was noticed. Many other accidents . .-of this kind have happened during the sum- 5 I fa mer. In some cases the bather has been rescued, but in others drowned. Tubes and other similar supports are extremely treacherous for those who cannot swim. # They quickly become slippery and bathers lose their grip. Life guards, when they are 'present, find it difficult to tell whether the \ bather is in difficulty or merely playing in the water. These supports are not only 'dangerous, but also useless as a means of learning to swim. The authorities at Sun- nyside tank have, very properly, forbidden © their use. This lead should be followed by i 1 A. - § the authorities at all Ww bathing resorts _throughout the country. If, as it frequent- / ly happens, there is no one in authority at certain resorts, the publicity given to the danger arising from the use of tubes and other supports should be sufficient to deter bathers from the risky practice." BUYING AT HOME * Many people do not appreciate as they should the stores of the home city. The «careful housewife wants dependable mer- chandise at reasonable prices. The stores of the home city have it. It is not neces- . sary to order by mail or go to some other 4 city to trade, thereby helping to build the other city. The stores of the home city carry large "stocks of seasonable merchandise, and the quality of goods offered makes the purchas- ing power of your dollar greater than in any other city. The owners of progressive busi- ness concerns of the home city are public spirited and progressive. They always do their part toward the civic betterment of the city, but many who should be their pat- ' rons are lacking in this respect. '# asset for any city. * The business concerns of the home city can satisfy every want. They make it their usiness to give service. There is no ex- for trading elsewhere. No one should handicap the business and buying power of the home city by spending their money away from home. Successful business concerns are a great Without them there would be no city. Better business builds better cities. Help make the city better by at home. "SHOULD REMAIN THERE George Bernard Shaw's words, as spoken Jarge Russian gathering, while he d that country recently, were startl- ig. This Socialist stated he was disap- pinted that England had not been the first untry to take the course that Russia has 'taken in national life. "The meaning can Spuly be that he believes Russia, in renounc- 'the church, the Deity, morality, and" everything else held good by other coun- tries, is living on an ideal plane. Such be- ing the feeling of Mr. Shaw it might be sug- gested that he remain in Russia, where he finds conditions so congenial to his mind. Perhaps Russia might have something to say about that. -- Kincardine Review-Re- porter. MORE OPTIMISM The editor has been surprised at the num- ber of people who have expressed to him their views that the turn for the better in business has arrived. When asked for their reasons they admit they cannot give any; they just "feel the worst is over." As the depression is due, to at least some degree to mental attitude, a more optimistic view of the future is welcome because that in it- self will help business back to where it should be. : People who have been putting off making purchases should watch closely for the first turn of the tide because as conditions im- prove prices will have an upward trend. People contemplating purchases may do well by saying at once "wrap it up" instead of waiting for prices to advance.--Palmerston Spectator.

It cannot be pretended that when an office boy (or, for the matter of that, an office boy's employer) buys a ticket in the Irish Sweepstake, he is filled with a noble spirit of compassion for the Irish sick, or that he is greatly concerned with the dignity of Free State medicine. But the plea would have been more effective had some constructive sug- gestion been forthcoming. The truth is that hospi- tals cost more than they did, largely owing (to the advance of medicine itself in recent years, and the voluntary system has proved inadequate to its main- tenance. Something has to be put in its place, and no denunciation of sweepstakes is likely to be fruit- ful unless some alternative proposal is put forward. HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER (St. Catharines Standard) Those who understand human nature know that not all hit-and-run drivers are devoid of honesty and humanity. Some flee in blind terror, though the responsibility for the accident is not theirs. Socicty and the courts must recognize a distinction between these and the type of driver who never tries to avoid an accident/but always tries to evade the con- sequences for his recklessness. Tt is doubtful if even the threat of long imprisonment can cure the more pronounced cases of both types, and only universal temperance will stop men, under"the influence of li- quor, from hitting and running, BITS OF HUMOR George White--"Is yo' seen Mose White lately ?"

The . janit let me have them--for a considera- tion," Eric finished with a wan grin. "Now don't go up in the air, Doc- tor," he begged; ' but I've simply got to make a suggestion and you've got to listen to it. I want to have a consultation before you go ahead with this experiment I want you to discuss the case with two or three of the best psychiartrists in New |York--the associates you have the greatest faith in--and see what they 'think of your experiment. I'll leave the selection of them entirely !in your hands, but as I shall pay itheir fees I want the privilege of |hearing what they say." | "A consultation now would excite {her and to that degree might imperil |the success of my experiment, That's iwhy I didn't arrange it. But I've been wishing they could see her," Carrick admitted "and since you feel that way I'm wondering if we could have them study her without her knowing it. Could you have ali tour of us to dinner to-night as friends of yours?" It was an unusual dinner. It is difficult to carry on a dinner conversation with a person whose conscious life is less than a month old. Again and again Mayer came up against the black wall. He retreated frond it so tactfully that he seemed not to touch it. But he learned young Mrs. Hamilton's preferences, and something about the recent plays she had seen, as well as her impression of a new book or two, and his interest in her deep- thing as definite as the push of powerful hands, she had kicked off her pumps, thrown her hat on the sand, and was running into the wat- er even before the women cried out, Their shrieks were excellent ones; and the urgent appeals to "save the children," which they sent after her as she began to swim, could not have been more realistic. They drew to the spot the only natives in that lonely region--two men whose zest for rescue had to be sternly dealt with by Carrick. . "Moving picture stuff," he curtly explained. "Merely rehearsing a scene, Get out, or sit down and keep quiet." They sat down and kept quiet while the life-guard got the rowboat into the water with the assistance of Hamilton; and one of the nurses in the bathing-suits bore Miss Carring ton's pomps into the convenient bathing house. It was an unusually well fitted bath-house, for it held not only a fine assortment of Turk- ish towels, but a cot, an alcohol stove with a kettle of hot water on it, a thermos bottle full of coffee, and a suitcase containing dry underwear, stockings, and the gown and hat Eve had worn on the day of her memory lapse. One of the nurses was Miss Ad- ams, The other who had arrived from Chicago late the night before, was not so imperturable as her pro- fessional sister. The shrieks she still sent after the swimmer, to preserve the proper atmosphere, had the ring of genuine excitement. ened. He was vastly impressed, as Carrick had been, by the poise and dignity of this groping figure that | moved toward him through such a| fog. His vivid imagination pictured | himself as a victim af this girl's ex- | perience, and the flesh of his scalp tingled. i An hour later, in the hotel wait- | ghag-roem, the physicians, joined now | y Carrick, passed on théir conclu- | sion to Hamilton. They were very frank with him, 'No one can promise you any- thing," Hazard confessed, "except | that the experiment will not do Miss | Carrington any lasting harm .r she | had not wrung a promise from you | jo the contrary, we would suggest that her manager should be told the | whole situation and consulted But as | there is in the case the element of! his passion for her--" Hamilton felt self-conscious. [ "And her obvious fear of him," he pointed out. | "Exactly, Considering those | things, it would be better, perhaps, | to proceed as Doctor Carrick sug- | gests. The alternative {s to let mat- ters drag alone, and in that case you | will certainly have to take Mr. Hen- | derson immediately and fully into your confidence." 'Yes," Hamilton regretfully ad- mitted; "I see that. We can', keep him in the dark any longer." Carrick made no secret of his jubl- lation over the concurrence of his colleagues in his plan, "Then we're all set," he declared | "I have an answer to that telegram I sent this morning to Chicago hos- pital. We can stage our experiment for the day after to-morrow if this fine weather holds, as I think it will, Ready for your part of it?" "Of caurse." But Hamilton spoke from a black depression. He was still horribly afraid of that coming experiment, and he did not care how many doctors knew it, The day set for test was of the warmly mellow type that sometimes comes as the last gift of a dying September. To that degree Nature worked with Carrick, as he poinfed out to his nervous young assistant. It was easy for Eric to persude Eve to take an automobile spin early that morning; easy to drop unseen, in the back of the roadster, the care- fully packed suitcase; easiest of all to turn from the city's roar, flash out across Long Island, and bring up at a remote stretch of beautiful sea- coast that lay simmering but ionely in the sunshine. Indeed. it was al- most deserted. Only two figures, Nomen in bathing suits, gave life to t. "It's rather late In the season for bathing," Eve said, with a glance at the backs of these ladies She spoke with a great effort, keeping her eyes away from the water. "It won't be October till to-mor- row, and people bathe on this coast till the ice forms," Hamilton remind- ed her. "There's a bathing-club (called the Polar Bears or something of the sort, | "IL...I don't think I want to stay {here," Eve faltered, i Apparently Hamilton failed to {hear the words. He stopped the |roadster, jumped out, and offered this hand. ! "Let's sit down a little while and look at the sea," he casually sug- gested. As she reluctantly descend- ed from the car he added, "You set- tle comfortably in the sand while I park the machines on the other side of the bank." He was not sure of his voice, for his nervousness was increasing. He 'could see that Eve was shivering-- that a slow tremor shook her entire body as she now turned and stood starring at the ocean. There was a rowboat rather far out--too far out for her to see what was in it, She followed its progress with quickening breath and eyes that steadily widened. Eric got into the roadster and started the engine. "It may take a few minutes to park and lock this," he called to her 'over his shoulder. "I'll be back as soon as I can" He caught one look she turned on shim as he drove away, and he never forgot it. But he set his teetl and' {played his part of Carrick's drama, | 'The next moment he was out of sight ithe bank, where Carrick, Mayer, and - {Hazard were awaiting him behind fanother bath-house, in company 'with a rowboat and a lifeguard in ibathing-trunks. If. in her growing panic, Eve had followed him she ht have discovered them all; but h Hamilton and Carrick had irightlv reasoned that she would not this. She ceased to think of him after that one wild look. Still: viol- "I've never been so thrilled in my life", she confessed to Miss Adams, "or so nervous! You see, I nursed her for ten days, and I got very fond of her." Miss Adams let her finish and then sent forth another shriek. It was a" fine, full-voiced, far-carrying out- cry, mean to emphasize the differ-" ence between nerves { New York and those in Chicago. Nothwithstanding her agitation, the Western nurse caught the idea and promptly topped Miss Adam's shriek with a better one, Emerging from behind the sand- bank with his associates, Doctor Carrick grinned nervously. Hamilton turned to him in desper- ation, "Doctor she may get tired. Hadn't I better swim out there, to be on the 1 safe side?" "Don't be an ass, A life-guard is just behind her, there's another | strong Swimmer back of the capsiz- ed boat, and Miss Carrington her- self is cutting through the water like a fish. What more do you want?" "I want this over," Hamilton groaned, eyes glued to his bioculars, "80 do 1," Carrick admitted. Eve's mind held one idea and only one--the need of reaching that cap- sized boat. She could see no figures in the water, for the young fisher- man who had been the boat's sole occupant was now up to his neck on | the far side of it. The shriek. Eve was very near the upturned boat when in response to a long whistle from shore the life-saver at last put his back into his strokes and reached her. "All a mistake, miss," he cheer- fully cried out, repeating the lines taught him by the guys on shore. "There's ain't no children tnere There's only a man, and he's all right." There was something funny about that, too, he reflected. If this was only a picture, why had he bee: told to learn and speak these words? Eve got into the boat without dif- ficulty and sat dripping in the stern, blindly looking about her, Her com- panion, having helped to right the other boat and rescue the oars, row- ed her back to shore swiftly and in silence. On the beach Miss Carrington found a waiting group of sympathe- tic and helpful strangers, who show- ed a solitude for her welfare that would have surprised her if she had not been past reasoning Four of them were, men and two were wo- men, the women who wore the bath- ing-suits. These ladies hustled her into the convenient bath-house, and insisted on taking off her wet cloth- ing and rubbing her down with coarse towels and giving her hot cof- fee which it appeared to be their two nurses continued to pleasant habit to carry about with . them, and urging her not to talk. "They also re-dressed her in dry garments--fortunately her own. She had an odd feeling of having enter- ed the bath-house in garments that were not her own.

In the daytime we find them most everywhere. It appears thar most of them vanish with the daylight. We wonder whether this is altogether wise. Dangerous junctions and crossings are apt to become more so when night has closed down over the land. It occurs to the mind that with profit might provision be made for the employment of more of- ficers to work nights. Nasty accidents occur some- where nightly that the presence of officers would prevent, as gen- erally the sight of a traffic cop will make drivers watch their step.
