From the Dominion Press Clipping Bureau, Toâ€" ronto, this week The Advance received a regular bagful of clippings from other newspapers, showâ€" ing how frequently The Advance is quoted in other newspapers. There were several hundred clipâ€" pings in the parcel, and these clippings gave eviâ€" dence that newspapers all over Ontario and the other provinces of Canada republish articles from The Advance. Some of the newspapers representâ€" ed were important dailies like The Globe and Mail, The Telegram, The Montreal Daily Star, The Otâ€" tawa Journal, while others were live weekly or: semiâ€"weekly newspapers of the type of The Huntâ€" ingdon Gleaner, The Haileyburian, The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker, The Brampton Conservator, Tt® Fergus Newsâ€"Record, The Barrie Examiner, The Bimcoe Reformer, The Northern News, The Sudâ€" Probably, some readers may get a laugh out of one or more of these United States divorce cases. It would not be well to laugh too loudly, however, for Ontario‘s own divorce courts are busy places, and while the strict letter of the law demands more serious material reasons for divorce than those cited, the ultimate effect of some of the cases results in divorces being actually obtained for little better causes than the United States exâ€" amples that raise a laugh. Of course, all the odd reasons for asking divorce are not confined to the ladies, any more than petiâ€" tions for divorce. One sample of woman‘s inhuâ€" manity to man is enough to offset the several quotations on the other side. Probably, this will keep the proper proportion. In any case, here is the plea of one named William Wilson whose divorce application was tried in the United States courts. William said his wife had a pernicious habit of filching his false teeth while he slept and holding them for $2.00 ransom. ‘"Divorece grantâ€" ed," said the judge. Mrs. John B. Crane, wife of a Harvard Univerâ€" sity professor, won a divorce from the professor as soon as she completed her story to the court. She said that she stood much from her tempermental husband, but that when he hurled a prickly cactus plant at her when her back was turned to him and she was in a stooping position, she felt the situaâ€" tion so keenly that divorce seemed the only thing left. Mrs. Viola Beck had what might aptly be termâ€" ed a bird of a reason for divorce. She told the judge that on one occasion her husband had knocked her unconscious by hitting her on the head with a live chicken, and then, finding he had killed the chicken, he revived the wife and ordered her to cook the chicken for him. Whether Mr. Beck had a chicken dinner that day is not added to the statistics provided. Mrs. Sarah Sanders sued Edward Sanders for divorce, and her chief complaint was of an odd form of brutality, that may be common among some strong men. "While he never actually struck me," said Mrs. Sanders, "he was always goâ€" ing around slamming his fist against doors till they rattled and shook and panels sometimes tracked." That seemed an uncomfortable habit in a husband, but Mrs. Sanders made it sound still worse by adding, "And every time he splintered a panel he said he wished it were me." Then the statistician notes the case of Samue! Hoffanstein, scenarist and poet, of the famous Hollywood. He dedicated many of the jingles that he wrote to his own wife.. At first, this might seem like a compliment. But in court the wife had some of these jingles quoted as grounds for divorce. Here is one of the jingles referred to:â€" When you‘re away, I‘m restless, lonely, Wretched, bored, dejected; But here‘s the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you are here. There was, for example, Ada Leonard, "stripr tease" dancer, whose chief complaint in her suit for divorce was that, as her attorney explained, "She resents the fact that husband doesn‘t resent the fact that she is doing this kind o! work." It is a truly humorous reason for divorce because it has deep meaning behind its odd exâ€" pression. The more it is considered the more the average man will agree that the "strip tease" dancer‘s husband is not the nicest sort of husband for a woman who doesn‘t glory in "strip tease" dancing. Most thoughtful people feel that there is noâ€" thing funny about divoree. Indeed, there are stil) some who consider that marriage is no joke. A the same time humorisms about wedlock are abou! as common as jokes on the Seottish, and recentl; an American citizen, part humorist and part staâ€" tistician, compiled a rather lengthy list of humorâ€" ous grounds for divorce. Each of these ridiculow excuses for asking the breaking of the marriagt tie were actually put forward seriously by petitionâ€" ers in the law courts seeking divorce.

Enquiry by some citizens for copies of the building byâ€"law resulted this week in raâ€". ther astonishing attitude. There were no availâ€"} able copies of the byâ€"laws, it seemed from the’; _answers reported. Of course, copies of the by-law1 were available, but these were office copies, and. the impression was left that even these were not. the final word, as the byâ€"law was being amendedi by the council, or about to be amended, or someâ€"| thing. In short, it would seem that the new buildâ€" ’ ing byâ€"law has not been finally passed. In that case, of course, the old byâ€"law must be in force.} The old byâ€"law (No. 470) needs amendment and clarification. But even that old byâ€"law does not contemplate one rule for mayors and another for | exâ€"mayors. It says:â€""Within the aforesaid Zone/ A. of the town of Timmins, no person shall here-l after construct, build, erect or place any wooden | venser building or any part of a wooden veneer{ building, except as hereinafter provided. The| main walls of all buildings to be built, replaced or placed within said Zone A shall be of brick, stone., During the recent visit to Timmins of the memâ€" bers of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec Division of the Canaâ€" dian Weekly Newspapers Association, it was imâ€" pressed upon the visitors that they could do a genuine service to the North, and incidentally to their own people, if they would make it plain through the columns of their respective journals that there were already a thousand men out of work in Timmins, that there were no positions open here, no new work opening up that would give opportunity to transients or newcomers, and that there was neither sense nor fairness in men rushing to the North from all over the Dominion. Practically all of the hundred and more weekly and semiâ€"weekly newspapers represented in the deleâ€" gation touring the North \Ipade special reference to this matter of employment and the North. Some of them made apt editorial reference based on their own knowledge from facts gathered here. It was made plain that what was true of Timmins in this respect was equally true of other centres in the North. The reproduction of the editorial from The Advance was part of the campaign to give the facts in regard to the North and employâ€" ment. All this was of decided benefit to the North, and the North is grateful to the friends of the Weekly and semiâ€"weekly press for a genuine ;service in extended way. It is true that transiâ€" have not ceased to come here, but it is equally true that the North would have been more burdâ€" ened had it not been for the wide circulation giv-i en the truth of the matter. With the extended publicityâ€"in so many influential newspapers, it is‘ also a fact that men coming North now can not claim that they had no warning of the true state) of affairs. With a thousand men out of work in Timmins and a similar proportion in other cen-i tres in the North, the rush of transients to the | North was not fair to the transients, the North,’ or the country in general. The chances of the transients securing work was poor indeed. Even| if they did by sheer luck hit something in the way| of employment, it was at the expense of someone | else here before, perhaps an oldâ€"timer whose pioneering days gave him a preference surely in; such cases. The expense to the towns of the| North in caring for the rush of transients was a most unfair burden. The transients themselves| suffered hardship and expense unnecessary and_! fruitless. All round, it was a poor procedure, and thanks are due the worthy weeklies and semi-i weeklies for their help in making the situationi clear. * | In the list of clippings it is evident that one particular editorial in The Advance has received very wide and very general circulation throughout Ontario by being reâ€"published in an unusually long list of newspapers. This was an editorial pointing out the futility of people from the South rushing here in the hope of securing employment. Among the newspapers reproducing this editorial for the benefit of their readers were the following newsâ€" papers, in the order in which the clippings came ’ out of the bag:â€"Port Rowan News, Tilbury Times, Dresden Times, Cobden Sun, Alexandria Times, Athens Reporter, Jarvis Record, Arichat (Nova Scotia) Record, Rodney Mercuryâ€"Sun, Kingsville Reporter, Carp Review, Shawville (Quebec) Equity, Tavistock Gazette, Rainy River Record, Elora Express, Bothwell Times, Pickering News, Markâ€" ham Economist and Sun, Grand Valley Star and Vidette, ~Paisley Advocate, Markdale Standard,!

The byâ€"law has been | under consideration for years. Such a byâ€"law 'should be put into force early in the year, before | the mayor and others complete their buildings and additions. To wait until this time of year, seems more than absurd, and it will take a lot of fury i and abuse from the mayor to convince some people that the failure to enforce one byâ€"law or the other with no more excuse than given to date, is not unâ€" duly to the interests of some and to the general ;dlsadvantage As for the people in general, very emphatic protest should be made against any 'efiort to enforce one set of rules for mayors and l another for exâ€"mayors. That is a form of adminâ€" istration that is decidedly not in the public inâ€" terests, and the people in general are very foolish if they permit it without the most emphatic proâ€" test. When Quebec seizes communist literature and closes up places used for improper propaganda, The Ottawa Journal refers to the law as a "Padâ€" lock Act." When Ontario seizes cheques of a priâ€" vate individual and ties up a bank account, withâ€" out trial, or charge, The Ottawa Journal should at least call it a "Yale Lock Act."

So old byâ€"law or new byâ€"law, the addition to the mayor‘s building is certainly not in keeping with the requirements demanded in the case of exâ€"mayors and ordinary folk. A worker whose wage in a month is equal to the C. N. R.‘s loss in one minâ€" ute is a worker who is getting much better than the average pay for all the workers in the country. Not the Only Solution It cannot be said that unification is the only possible solution of the proâ€" blem.â€" But does the country accept with equanimity Mr. Hungerford‘s admission that the National Railways have cost a great deal, but are worth it? In the recent hearings of the special senate Committee appointed to inquire into and report upon ‘the best means of relieving the country from its exâ€" tremely serious railway condition and financia burden consequent thereto," Sir Edward Beatty and other officers of the Canadian Pacific Railway advoâ€" cated a merger of the two systems, with a ‘split in the net revenue on a preâ€"deâ€" termined scale. Mr. S. J. Hungerford and other officers of the Canadian Naâ€" tional â€" Railways opposed this plan. Spokesmen for railway labour likewise opposed it. GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER]| The railway problem is Canada‘s No. 1 problem. Neither of the great politiâ€" cal parties shows any disposition to atâ€" tempt to deal with it. This suggests, thz writer submits, that it is high time that ordinary citizens study the problem in a nonâ€"partisan spirit and demand that something be done about the exâ€" tremely sevene drain on the resources of the people of Canada. It takes about two months for the average Canadian factory worker to earn as much money as the Canadian National Railways costs the Canadian people in one minute. It is $215,524 per day, or $8,891 pe: hour. To get ib down to figures that are comprehensible to toiling taxpayers, it is a few cents less than $150 per minute. The amount of $786,703,427 is sizable It means the average yearly deficit for the ten years was $78,670,342, so that those who speak of the millionâ€"aâ€"week of C.N.R. deficits are guilty of underâ€" statement. It was more like a millionâ€" andâ€"aâ€"half a week in that ten year period which included lean years and fat. The Domiinion Bureau of Statistics on May 28 last produced figures showing what it cost the Canadian people to own the Canadian National Railways in the tenâ€"year period from 1927 to 1936.. The total including interest on Governâ€" ment advances was $786,703.427. This figure does not take into account losses prior to 1926 nor losses in 1937 or 1938.

Another of Those Poor Slanders on the Scottish The railway problem must be solved, despite political considerations. In the four minutes which the hurried newsâ€" paper reader has expended in reading this article, another $600 of the taxâ€" paver‘s money has been dissipated beâ€" vond recall. One does not need to be a unificaâ€" tionist ta deplore the fact that both of the major political parties have eviâ€" dently condemned the unification plan without exploring its possibilities or even awaiting the final report of the special Senate Committee. Question for the Taxpayer It might be proposedâ€"though with a certain diffidenceâ€"that the proposal of the C. P. R. for a unified railway should be examined with some care deâ€" spite the probability that a unified railway would benefit the C. P. R. The real question which concerns the taxâ€" payer isâ€"â€"would unifying the two sysâ€" tems relieve the burden of the alreadyâ€" overâ€"burdened taxpayer? If unificaâ€" tion would accomplish that, it is posâ€" sible that the Government could appoint men sufficiently astute to arrive at an equitable contract with the C. P. R. for the splitting of the revenues of the uniâ€" fled railway between the Government and the C. P. R. it the revenue to meet all its obligations and,; perhaps, leave something over to pay to its shareholdersâ€"the taxpayers of Canada. One would suggest that the C. N. R might do better it is were operated with the same ultimate motiveâ€"profits. To attract patronage, it would need to give efficient service to the people of Canada. The most efficient service would win the ultimate in patronage The ultimate in patronage would give There is hardly a doubt that the C. P. R.‘s proposal is intended to help the C.P. R. The C. P, R. desires to make profits for its shareholders. To do that it must render such an efficient service that it attracts patronage which gives it the revenue to meet all its obligations to employees, suppliers, bond holders and tax collectors. Having done justice ta all of these it may, if it has money left over, pay something to its shareâ€" holders.. Observation suggests that the maâ€" jority of the people whose knowledge of the rallway problem is confined to cursory reading of headlines, are proâ€" foundly suspicious of the proposal adâ€" vanced by officers of the Canadian Poific Railway. It could not be otherâ€" wise for advocates of public ownership iInevitably are suspicious of the motives of private ownership. And one might suggest that ordinary citizens should be suspicious, for they need to be sure that whatever is done be an improveâ€" ment on present conditions. hich, being "translated," reads: Wool?

Perhaps, if the provincial police started to search for illicit furs they might stumble on stolen gold. A headline on Tuesday in The Ottawa Journal says:â€""Gatineau Farmer Killed by Bull." It is a wonder that more of them do not die that wayâ€" so near Ottawa. Timmins, the whole Porcupine, yes, the whole North is proud of the Dome Football team and the honour it has brought the North. The football matches played at Dome between the Dome team and the famous Ulster Football team were fine of good football and good sportsmanâ€" ship, so far as the Dome team was concerned. Had the Dome team lost the series, there would still have been reason for pride in the fine work they have done in the way of football. The fact that they won, while it does not add anything to the real worth of the Dome Football team, makes it easy and popular to praise them. It is easy enough to state the fact that it isn‘t winning or losing that counts, but whether the team gave of its best. As usual Domse Football Club gave its best and that best was good, indeedâ€"good enough to win by good margin from Ontario‘s leading soccer team. Laurels then to the Dome Football team! Illustrated Words:â€""Speechless"â€"Charlie Mcâ€" Carthy without Mr. Bergen. Another line to make the column? This is it!

Murdock, manager of the Ulster team, tendered the thanks of the club to the Dome management for the genâ€" erosity and good time that had been shown them and told the gathering that Ulster would return home bearing the best possible wishes for Dome‘s success in the finals. "Cliff" Thompson, of Hollinger, local D.F.A. representative, regretted that there had besn so much wrangling reâ€" sarding the place where the Eastern Canada finals would be played but felt that everyone is now satisfied with the way things went off. W. E. Honer, viceâ€"president of the N.O.F.A., told the gathering that it was a red letter day in the football history f Northern Ontario. "This is the first time that a team of the calibre of UIâ€" ster has come North and I can conâ€" scientiously say that they are a good bunch of sports and good fellows. I hope that they will carry away a good impression of the North and realize that we have some good sports here too," said Mr. Honer. In extending his congratulations to the Ulster team, he expressed the opinion that the fans were well satisfied with the series and complimented the visitors on their play. Following the Eastorn Canada footâ€" ball final between Dome and Toronto Ulster Monday night, the two teams, managers and members of the execuâ€" Aves of the two clubs, gathered at a complimentary banquet at the Dome.
