present in gathering up all the dirty linen in the city and washing it in public. If the linen is not really dirty, it is all the same. To some people all linen is dirty, though the spots be only in their own eyes. For a time the Toronto newspapers‘ were full of pictures of the dirty vestments of some of the churches. Then a collection of rags from the University was exposed. Next they paraded the nightshirts of some of the aldermen of the city, and after airing them for days along King street, proceeded to a public washing. Next came the tunics of the police. When the odd cootie was found, the newspapers, or at least some of them, jumpâ€" ed to the conclusion that if the police were thoroughly deâ€" loused, the poor tramps and crooks in the jJails would not be so verminous. With true Toronto naivete, it was beâ€" lieved that bums and thugs collect their cooties from the police, and not vice versa, as in most other places. With the police uniforms still on the line, the sports sweaters were hauled out and the papers had a lovely time puddling in the dirt. Everybody knows that dirt does gather, that spots do stain the finest clothes upon occasion. It is well to do cleaning and pressing and general laundry work. But the people of Ontario are surely becoming very tired of this new Toronto fad of holding up a corporation shirt and saying, "Now, just look at the dirt on that there shirt!" Or exâ€" hibiting a pair of trousers, and howling, "Did you ever see such spots!" Or displaying a vest, and expecting the public to figure out for itself whether this stain near the pocket is vanilia iceâ€"cream or Budweiser ‘beer! Toronto has been having a regular orgy of laundry work. The city council might find a profitable method of raising muchâ€"needed taxes, if it would charge a stiff transient traders‘ license to the newspapers that run a cheap laundry business in the public squares. It might not be considered so bad if the clothlng was really dirty. As a matter of fact the sunlight of publlcity has shown few stains on Toronto‘s linen after all, Most of the dirt there has been seems to ‘haveâ€"been deuberately thrown on the clothes after they were on the line. But the public wash seems to continue to grow in scope. The latest is an effort to add some auditors ‘sheets to the pile of clothes for the wash. It is all rather disâ€" gusting. If Toronto wants to hang out the family wash every day in the week, why not use the attic or the back yard? Why filaunt the dirty linen from the housetops like flags to welcome a convention of the Lions or the Buffaloes? And still more:â€"Just think of the typical Toronto effronâ€" tery in asking the province in general to pay for the unâ€" necessary and presumptuous laundry bill so skilfully run up by the city for its own purposes and the advantage of its own lawyers and judges. Washing dirty linen in ptublic is poor buglness for any city. Expecting the people of the proâ€" vince a'.s a whole‘ to pay for the laundering of Toronto‘s pyjamas and snuff rags is the sort of unreasonable and unâ€" warranted impertinence that has made Toronto recently worthy of the name of the "Public Laundry City."

In recent years there has been some little improvement, but it remained for the Legion to start a movement that may have notable results. The Legion has sought out the graves of all exâ€" servieemenburtedinm‘nmmkweemetery ‘The graves are being beautified and suitably marked. It is the intenâ€" In these days when brickbats seem to fly so readily at the heads of the living, there should at least be some flowers for the dead, if some measure of eivilization is to be preâ€" served. After all the true gauge of civilization rests in the attitude of chivalryâ€"respect for women, love for children, honour for the dead. ‘These three can enforce no privileges for themselves. Yet it is true beyond question that the nation that sets chivalry first. will prosper and advance, while to forget those who cannot by force uphold their rightsâ€"to lose respect for the mothers of the race, to hold childhood in cheap regard, to dishonour the deadâ€"is to court deat.h splrltual as well as material. History is a reâ€" cord of the,,, truth of this. The nation that forgets true chivalryâ€"the rights of those who cannot defend themselves â€"that nation and that people are in a grea.ter danger than may appear. It seems fitting that the Canadian Legion, composed: of men who have proven their courage and strength, should be forward toâ€"day in effort to arouse the chivalry that counts. The Timmins branch of the Legion is forward toâ€"day with plans and methods for due honour and respect to the comâ€" rades buried Shere. ‘ The Legion does not stop at the graves of its own members, nor even at those of returned soldiers.

Oddfellows Lodge in some past years Years ago in the city of the unco gulid a newspaper, The Toronto World, created something in the nature of a mild sensation by its persistent curiosity as to where and how After page after page of query and suggestion, repeated day after day, week after week, year after year, The World acâ€" complithed little more than to create the suspicion that if the hired man on the farm in Ontario washed his feet at all it was done in such a secret and surreptitious fashion that he might just as well have left them unwashed so far as The World was concerned. The heavy boots worn by the hired man of those days left the world less concerned about the matter than The World. It was in the days before the soap manufacturers had discovered that body odour killed sex appeal. For the immediate moment ‘Toronto newspapers do not seem to care whether hired men ever wash their feet.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher HONOUR THE DEAD Desperation has forced the hands of scores of municipaliâ€" ties in Ontario to insist that some work be given for the relief extended to ableâ€"bodied men. The result has proved the wisdom and the practicability of the plan for providing work rather than relief. From all over the province comes the story of families going off relief. one man is quoted assayinzthatifhehadtowarkhemlghtaswellwork for himself as for the town. In securing jobs, of course, imâ€" provement in the times has helped a lot, but it is very evident that the employment plan weeds out a class who would grow fat on direct relief while the rest of the peopie grew thin striving to meet taxes. It must be admitted, howâ€" ever, that the most of the pecple are all right, and have ‘been all right. They hate the idea of direct relief as much as anybody. All they ask is the chance to support themâ€" selves. They are happy to work rather than to live on others. It is for this reason that The Advance has urged employment as the only cure for unemployment. Had the work for all been followed out by the provinces, the cost would ‘Have been little more than it has been under direct relief, and the people would have something for all their The United States has brought tragic consequences on itâ€" self by a silly practice current some years ago of making heroes out of cowardly thugs, bandits out of cheapâ€"skate sneak thieves and gangsters out of craven murderers. For the moment Canada seems to be doing a little in the same line, with pages devoted to a: cheap fourâ€"flushing criminal with a long record, and columns to the vapourings Oof a fellow whose ill tongue caused trouble for hundreds of poor dupes before it finally landed him on the wrong side of the law. If the newspapers generally would expose these fe!â€" lows for the poor selfâ€"beguiled wrongdoers they are, instead of leaving the false inference possible that they are clever or unusual. there would ‘be more respect for law and order and more advantage to the ordinary decent citizen. There is a noilsy minority toâ€"day seeking to lionize the lawâ€"breakâ€" er.

There seems no valid reason why pupiis writing on these departmental examinations should have to undergo their tests under trying conditions of weaâ€" ther when this could very easily be avoided. Ontario‘s Deâ€" partment of Education has never been able to advance a single sensible excuse for holding these examinations during the sweltering days of July. Yet this year they are later than ever. Not only is there physical torture for the studâ€" ents, not only does the torrid weather take away another fair chance for success, but the lateness of the examinaâ€" tions means that the results will also be later and the pupils are consequently debarred from making any plans that may be dependent upon the results of the tests. ‘There should be a general demand for a little common sense from the Dept. of Education in this matter. This year Canada has to weather the most destructive blustering windstorms in its history. Tom Pepper may be expected to reply:â€""I could tell you of a certain New York Soviet agent who paid $16,254.33 to get control of a certain or uncertain Toronto newspaper so that it would print C.C.F. views." All the wild waves do not play about the soap boxes these days. There is more intemperate language toâ€"day than during the most intemperate days of the Ontario Temperâ€" ance Act. «A number of people in town this year claim that they are too poor to pay the taxes on their dogs. The town council was of the opinion that people to> poor to pay dog taxes were too poor to afford to feed dogs. That ‘seems the sensible view to take, but there are those who seem to imagine that the shiftless are the only ones toâ€"day with any rights or privileges. Reasonable people will recognize that in their misfortune they may have to forego even such luxuries as keeping pet dogs. In larger towns and cities the â€"keeping of dogs becomes more and more of a luxury. Only a few people are rich enough to keep dogs with justice to the dogs and any measure of comfort to the neighbours. Capt. Philpst, who has been many things in his day, but who for the immediate minute is a C.C.F.â€"er, recently said this:â€""I could tell you of a Canadian Bank that raised $2,â€" 000,000.00 to get control of a certain Toronto paper so it would not print C.C.F. news." Speaking of mosquitoes two local men were considering the difference, if any, between a C.C.F. and communist. "Oh, yes!" said the one gentleman, "there is a difference, just as there‘s a difference between black files and mosâ€" quitoes. The people get stung if either is around." Mitch Hepburn, the absentee leader of the Liberal party in the Ontario Legislature, has emitted more cyclonic blasts than have ever been blown by any irresponsible leader of any party, not even excepting the United Farmers of Onâ€" Mr. Hepburn has stated more than once that if elected he could reduce by fifty per cent. the cost of government in Ontario by simply cutting off part of the cost of the highâ€" salaried employees of the province. As a matter of fact seventyâ€"five per cent. of the expenditures of the province toâ€"day are practically irreducible. All the salaries of all the employees of the province would not reduce the cost of govâ€" ernment twenty per cent. But why bring that up? Perhaps, toâ€"day it is not so vital a question as to what the wild waves are saying as to what sensible people are saying about these wild waves. Probably sensible folk, as they hearken to the swell and slash of the wild waves, murâ€" mur in modern slang:â€""Aw! You‘re all wet!" In this country politics in religion will be hurtful to the country and religion alike, and it won‘t help politics much. But a little religion in politics would not hurt any. A local gentleman figures out that the capitalistic system is responsible for the size of the mosquitoes this year. He is as near right in that as he is in some of his other ideas. The only cure for unemployment is work. of Timmins Lad Finds Tiger Rose But Easy Pickings her sign she turns about and lets‘them read the other side. ‘The police ignore the publicity stunt, the trust company may be annoyed but does not do anyâ€" thing aboutit.

He was advertised as Bert Dempsey, of Timmins, but it turnâ€" ed out that Bert was here in town at the time and had not even been near Noranda or Rouyn at the time of the alleged battle.

They found she had $20,000 in a Toronto bank and banished her from the streets. "An old woman used to haunt the entrance to one of the big banks on King street.

He was throwing in advice about Kirkland Lake gold share, giving it a generous market adâ€" vance within a few days, mentioning a figure that would gladden the ‘hearts of the present shareholders. Most brokers look upon such people as amusâ€" ing, do not trouble much about them but the houses whose street door he decorates are not so complacent. ‘"Peoâ€" ple get a wrong impression about the firm," said broker. "Some of them might think that we were using the man to bring business in." So they have him moved about. have you noticed a hardened gambler deliberately move his chair before proâ€" ceeding to further test fortune after luck had run against him for a spell? Sometimes, he will be too ashamed of his weakness to trade places with anâ€" other player, or deliberately move his chair to another location, but he will pay homage to his pet superstition by slyly sliding his chair either nearer or stock in trade, is the knowledge that speculators are superstitious and that, approached at the right moment, they will pay.

Similar superstitions of one kind cr another weigh with the men who place their money on stocks on the market. This is said to be particularly true in regard to those who deal in gold and other metal stocks, whether or not it be a fact that gold, silver and other metails gather more of the superstiâ€" tions than other stocks. Starting off with a reference to the superâ€" stitions about cripples and poor people supposed to infliuence the luck in stocks, "Grab Samples" in The Northern Miner touches upon some of the "rackets" that have grown up along these lines in Wall street and around Toronto brokerage places. "Grab Samples" last week says:â€" "When market speculators of New York and other American cities are in luck, when they are hitting the ball, they hesitate to pass up a beggar in the street, fearing a reversal of fortune. Thus it is that certain privileged charâ€" acters who haunt Wall street and other financial marts, have built.â€"up proâ€" fitable contact with the marketeers.
