range of the telephone but lengthen the spread of profanity. But strictly speaking, it is an improveâ€" ment on the telephone cord, but not an improveâ€" ment on the telephone cord. The invention of a telephone cord that will not knot, snarl or tangle still remains for man‘s ingenuity, if any. All that has been accomplished is to invent a device that makes the cord snarl in symmetrical form. Life is like that, however. Seldom is there the perfect solution for the knots. the snarls and the tangles. Man has, to be content with something "just as good"â€"a device that turns the tangles into symâ€" metrical rings and removes the possibilities of knots without actually remedying the knotty 9 It pays to advertise in The Advance. If you don‘t get what you want, you will get something that someone is sure to assure you is just as good. For example:â€"Last week a brief editorial note in The Advance said:â€""Men boast of their ingenuâ€" ity and inventiveness, yet where is the inventor to figure out a form of telephone cord that will not snarl and knot and tangle?" Then Friday morning, the cffice telephone at The Advance was found decorated with a wire contraption that had snarled the cord into a bunch of soundless rings. When the receiver was lifted the rings unâ€" coiled themselves, but on the replacement of the receiver they snarled back into their former bunch of rings that did not tinkle. The device is admitâ€" tedly an improvement on the regular style of cord twisted into knots and tangles that shorten the TYMMIN®, ONTAKIO.

LAKE, Owner and Publisher Subscription Rates: Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year United Per Year Timmins, Ontario, Monday, Nov. 15th, 1937 PAGE PoOUR Ohe Aduanrr ; Last week at Edmonton, Alberta, Joseph H. Unâ€" _win, Social Credit member for Edson in the Alâ€" !berta Legislature, and Government Whip, was convicted of publishing defamatory libel and sentenced by Mr. Justice W. C. Ives, of the Suâ€" preme Court, to three months‘ imprisonment, with hard labour. The Social Credit member had pubâ€" lished a pamphlet attacking not only the banks, but those who defended these financial instituâ€" tions. The material in the pamphlet was the usual extreme and unreasonable stuff that h: often figured in election literature. Similar matâ€" ter, some of it just as libellous and unfair, has been published before in political campaigns, without the author suffering imprisonment. In the case of Mr. Unwin, however, he went the lengths of naming persons as guilty of improper actions. As Mr. Justice Ives commented before passing sentence, Mr. Unwin must have known that these charges were false and that they Orators have been wont to talk much about the 3000 miles of frontier between Canada and the United States without a single fort or guns or solâ€" ! diers to defend it. Elsewhere in this issue will be found an article by Sandy A. F. Macdonald, noted f Canadian airman, who tells about all the trouble, the time and expense his Scottish soul suffered on both sides of the line with customs officials and tariff men during a recent air flight; From the story as detailed by Sandy A. F. Macdonald it would seem that neither Canada nor the United States need any forts or guns to defend their territories. Tariffs and customs do the work more thoroughly. By the time the customs officials are through with the invaders, the poor fellows haven‘t much fight left in them, and there isn‘t enough time or money left to prosecute a war. If China could only adopt the American plan, it might avert war in that large country. So far, no war has been declared. Perhaps the present unâ€" pleasantness is nothing more than the customs officials trying to enforce all regulations on the Japanese visitors. In that case, The Advance would advise the Japs to quit at once. They haven‘t a chance. No one has with customs ofâ€" ficials.

"Look‘s like a printer‘s plant!"â€"Sudbury Star. ‘"Their characters should offset any initial erâ€" rors."â€"New Liskeard Speaker. "Aw, chase yourself!"â€"Ottawa Journal. In The Toronto Telegram last week there was an editorial note that so lends itself to the old fashion that The Advance reproduces it herewith, adding the comments that should be given it from other newspapers in turn, and out of turn:â€" Years ago there was a more or less amusing _custom whereby an item from one newspaper would be picked up by another newspaper and a comment added. A third newspaper would reâ€" print the two items, adding further comment. A fourth newspaper would join the fun, and so the item and comments would be passed along and grow. One famous case of this kind some years ago saw a threeâ€"line item from a rural newspaper, with comments of two or three lines from other rural and city papers, develop into a full column before the plan was dropped. Som*® months ago The Advance started such a scheme on the rounds of the press, but the plant did not grow to any unusual lengths before it was lost. Editors were always too busy and too lazy. Probably they are more so toâ€"day, or think they are. If it should be suggested that The Advance should have known that there was this synthnetic | knot remover for telephone cords, the sufficient | answer is that The Advance is like most people in this modern worldâ€"all it knows of such matters is what it reads in the advertising columns of the newspapersâ€"and particularly in the columns of |The Advance. There has been advertised a device ‘ that prevents desk telephone cords from shortenâ€" ing by tangling and knotting, but it is so cumberâ€" | some as to be almost as provoking as a snarling cord. If there is actually a telephone cord that lwill not knot or tangle or snarl, let the inventor speak up now at regular rates, or forever hold his peace, while the world of office folks struggle with | !the knotted cord problem. It should be added, however, that with all the thousands upon thousands of inventions each year, there are still hundreds of simple things l crying out for invention. Take electric lights, forl l’instance! Why not invent a rigamaijig, or someâ€"| ‘ thing similar, whereby the changing of a 45â€"cent fbulb does not require the holding of a $45 glass THE PORCUPIN® ADVANCE. TTMMINS, ONTARTO A man who had escaped some weeks ago from an asylum for the insane created a disturbance at the Armistice services at London, England, last week, when in some way as yet unexplained he made his way through the lines of police and ers and other newspapers, all of whom are the vicâ€" tims of wholesale calumny and abuse on occasion passed far beyond the bounds of public discussion or criticism. To make a cheap political point, Mr. Unwin appeared to be ready not only to prejudice the whole banking system of Canada, but also to accuse individuals of what amounted to criminâ€" ality. There must be a limit to that sort of thing, and few will feel much sympathy with the conâ€" victed member. Any feeling of regret is likely to be confined to the idea that it is a pity that an example is not made of others who make serious charges with regard only to some hopedâ€"for poliâ€" tical advantage. And that brings up the thought: Will Mr. Glass, member of the Legislature for a Toronto seat, in his proposed legislation to allow racial and other groups to take action when they are slandered, extend the provisions of the proâ€" posed new act to include bankers, brokers, preachâ€" Among the social and personal items in The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press last week was the following:â€""Mrs. Robt.

The fact he did not even turn his head at the loud shouts of the disturber indicates the notable courage of the Kingâ€"a courage that paid a subtle tribute, too, to the King‘s confidence in those appointed to guard him on such occasion.
