During the depressien it was the backbone of the fair sex, although still a bachelor, (but he is not prejudiced thereby, as he hopes some day to rectify his posâ€" ition). In a very forcible and simple manner Mr. Bradette then went on to speak of the present situation, and how he realized the heavy responsibility resting on his "weak shoulders.". At the recent special session in Ottawa, Canâ€" ada voted solidly for Britain. It was not easy, he said, to know that by his vote he wpould "throw the flower of woung manhood on the battleflelds of Freedom and Democracy." ‘But there was but one road open. The principle of Ziberty and Democracy was at stake. And the seriousness of the situation was apparent.‘ In 1914, in the City of Ottawa, there: were demonstrations when war was declared. Now there is no demonstration because we remember the last war. Every citizen realizes the sacrifices to be made. a Mr. Bradetteé ‘praised the local press for their fine :{editorials since the crisis. He also stresed the necessity of loyal citizens impressing the principle of one loyalty upon those Canadians born in other lands.

Most heart specialists will tell you that a moderate amount of smoking will do no harm. The minority say that tobacco tightens up the blood vesâ€" sels and adds to the work of the heart. Experience teaches that most men beâ€" yond 50 can no longer tolerate the number of cigars or pipes they forâ€" merly consumed. Perhaps it is safe to say that 3 pipes or an equal number of light cigars per day will do little or no harm to most individuais.

Fine Feathers by the scent of the l r i (By J. V. McAREE) When reading accounts oi British pursuits of German submarines in the last war we used to sigh thankfully when it was reported that after the discharge of several depth bombs oil was seen to rise to the surface. That was invariably accepted, at least by the public, as a sign that the Uâ€"boat had been destroyed. The wreckage would not rise, of course, but the oil would when the bomb made hit. But it appears that the olil may not be the _sign of the dissolution of the submarâ€" ine, merely fake so that no more bombs may be dropped. Submarines are able to blow oil out of a tank to facilitate their escape. This we learn, with several other interesting things about life in a submarine, from an arâ€". ticle by Lt. Commander Kenneth Edâ€" wards, formerly of the British Navy, who writes an article in the Windsor Magazine, which appears in condensed form in the Magazine Digest.. From this we gather that, while life in a submarine may be not more dangerâ€" ous than life in an aeroplane, it is the mcost uncomfortable and nerveâ€"wrackâ€" ing post a man can hold in wartime. A Hard Life The interior of a submbarine is mostly machinery, some of it as deliâ€" cate and precise as that of a watch. The crew live where they can and how they can, it being impossible to make arrangements for their comfort. Those not on watch spend most of their time sleeping, because they know that in an # e * Life is Hard and Weariâ€" â€" some in the Underseas Boats.

(The young man had enlisted from high school.) "Oh well!l All right! You are being transferred to the engineers anyway," he was informed. They would put a "master of lanâ€" guages" on sanitary fatigue and send an exâ€"bartender ahead of the troops to arrange for billets. " , And so it went. ‘ We can vouch for the following A young man in France was called from the infantry. "What did you do in civilian life?" he was asked. They would pick out a man listed as a ‘"structural iron worker" and make him a cook. The men listed as "chefs" would be made "despatch â€"riders." We suppose it will all work out in the good old army manner that folâ€" lowed somewhat the following plan. However, theoretically they have a lot of tricky mathematics built into the guns. this announcement, exonerating him from any geponsibility for our column, will give him great satisfaction, Round Pegs and Square Holes This must be the age of. specialists. A newspaper report has qualifications for the artillery all mixed up with trigenometry and calculus. l This is news to us. We always were under the impresâ€" sion that all the artillery had to know: was how to fire a gun in the general direction of the enemy line so the enemy would become annoyed andl start shelling the infantry.

Point of Information In answer to numerous enquiries we would like to announce that "Thomas R. Henry," who writes the interesting articles from London, is not the perâ€" petrator of this column.

So the submarine may go on her way, but will not dare to come to the surâ€" face again until dark. The Sub Commander > The torpedo itself travels at a spzed of 40 knots and gencrally keeps to a steady depth eight feet below the surâ€" face . Any manner of abstruse calcuâ€" lations, says Commander Edwards, go to the achievement of whatever result may be obtained, and a mistake anyâ€" where mayâ€" mean failure and a ruined career. The underwatrr navy does not forgive carelessness. The commander must be a man of unusual intelligence the sub rises until the periscope is far enough above the surface to permit the captain to have his final survey before launching the torpedo. Immeâ€" diately the torpedo leaves the tube, shot out by compressed air, the subâ€" marine submerges to a depth of a hundred feet, turning as it dives and going full speed away from the scene. If bombs drop near they will shake the frail craft and toss crew about, while electric light bulbs break with the concussion and every indicating needle in the whole : complicated mechanism dances frenziedly, The submarine commander, by listening to explosions, can get a general idea of his own position with reference to his pursuers. If they are close he stops his ship, for if he is going full speed there are instruments that will reveal his presence and position to the hunâ€" ‘Defying the Destroyers. Submarines can and do operate when their victim is protected by deâ€" stroyers. Their tactics then are to submerge and dive between the deâ€" stroyers and the convoy. Satisfied that he has reached his best position, pears, for it can be destroyed as easily as a gull will snatch a fish from the water. It hides behind a hedge, as it were, and waits for its victim. If he does not pass close enough its chance is gone. If its presence is suspected a zigzagging course may make it imposâ€" sible for the torpedo to be accurately launched. The periscope alone reâ€" mains above water, when the boat takes up its station, and then for only two or three minutes at a time. The idea is that if it happens to be sighted it will disappear before the lookout of the approaching vessel can be sure he saw anything. _ The whole secret of a submarine‘s sucâ€" cess is position. It must guess or know where an enemy ship is likely to pass, and lurk in the vicinity, Of course it can come to the surface and pursue and shell an ordinary steamer. But it cannot take any chance of beâ€" ing on surface when a destroyer apâ€" a tempsrature of 145 degrees Fahrenâ€" helit has been recorded on an undersen boat near the equator. Theâ€"Hidden Destroyer The lives of those in a submarine depend as much upon the electric curâ€" rent as upon the air supply, which is conserved just as carefully. That is what limits the undersea speed and range of submarines. Full speed subâ€" merged is about eight knots and a boat does not reach it unless in a crisis. ing on a mess table, or on deck if the boat is on the surface. There may be a great deal of suffering because of weather extremes. There is not space to carry a lot of extra clothing, and a sub can be deadly cold in northern waters in winter. On the other hand emergency they may nave to remain awake for long nerveâ€"torturing hours. Also, a sleeping man uses far less air than a man moving about, and air is always precious in a submarine when submerged. Similarly, men are not allowed to smoke, but the question of how long the air will last does not cause much worry, because everybody knows it outlast the capacity of the electric batteries by means of which the ship is propelled when under water. The men work on what is called the hot bunk principle, one turning in as soon as another vacates his berth. Rarely do any of them get completely undressed. Some of tho crew are sure to be doing their sleopâ€"
