paris jottings peace talk to children ranees prime minister m edoaard herriot has delivered many fine speeches on ihe subject of peace le- 1 fore such august assemblies as the league of nations or the french par- llament an entirely different sort u audience however heard him speak on his favorite topic recently the c- casion was tho additlvn of another playground to the countless jardins denfants whicl make paris such a paradise for children gathered in their new terraced garden overhang ing the quai valmy a large number of iiitlc children listened intently and ap plauded enthusiastically while m her- rlot told them of frances desire for a just peace peace he said to them is at elite a question of ijve of jus tice and of faith one must believe in it in order to create it both of these necessary qualities he said abound in children and statesmen could learn much from them venture in buses oh that i could whisje a good old paris smell sighed peter ibbetson in the famous book by lu maurier ever changng yet somehow ever the same these good old paris smells are as much a part of the french capital as its famous perfumes recently how ever these romantic odors disappear ed for a while smothered under the thick pungent smell of burning tar ac- ompanied by the equally overwhelm ing sound of compressed air drills for paris was repairing its streets at such a time an ordinary bus ride be comes much of an adventure for many of tho streets of the city are so narrow that they must be closed while ti repairs are in progress and traffic therefore sometimes has to make very considerable detours the bus will swing around suddenly and you look up from your book to find it rushln along narrow winding streets lined with quaint oldfashioned houses and bearing names which remind one of longforgotten history books then just as suddenly as it began the ad venture ends the bus is ones more rolling along the old familiar noisy- route again and you turn back to your book wondering a little if you have not been dreaming toy hunting with harriot an acquaintance recently asked m herriot how it was that in the midst of such pressing problems as world disarmament state finance and politi cal turmoil that threatened to bring the government down about his ears ho always seemed to find time to spend a few hosrs of even his busiest days with his younger friends oh but children are different the prime minister replied its my greatest diversion and pleasure to be surround ed by children when the sultan of morocco was in paris on his annual visit m herriot lost no time in mak ing the acquaintance of his son mou- ley hasson aged fur a few minutes after meeting they left the hotel hand in hand bound for the toy department of one of pariss leading stores they were going to buy a motorcar that mouley hassan could drive all by him self it took quite a long ime to find one to fit his tiny legs and when he at last was seated at the wheel trying the horn and feeling very important the rather weighty statesman sugg ed getting on behind the little boy however looked up and said very solemnly oh no you mustnt you might fall off suddenly the future sultan spied a magnificent cardboard horse and instarty forgot ms motor car in admiration of it whereupon m herriot paid the purchase price of a few francs and they both left the shop highly delighted mouley hassan car rying his fiery steed clasped tightly under his arm landmark disappears chess is a popular pastime in franco and has long been an integral part of tho cafe habit which gives paris ono of its most

tblstletou n december 1sc2 crar mr editor the prolonged period of hard times has created a most difficult problem for ontarios worldfamous hospital for sick children which only th benevolent public can solve here it is in a nutshell the hospital has nursed in its coti this year 7694 small sufferers n increase of 687 over the tot of the previous year in addttton 84202 treatments were given in the great outpatlent department an increase of 16092 on one day 520 treatments were recorded in the previous year there was a similar growth in the demand for the merciful ministra tions of the hospital while all this has been going on the amounts of the donations from the kindhearted have decreased by many thousands ot dollars creating the situation of far more to bo done and far less to do it with the statutory grants obtained by the hospital fall much short of being sufficient to pay lor the actual cost of maintenance ol the little patients and each additional patient means an added dellclt the task of bridging the gap between the cost of opera tion and operating income has usually been accomplished by contri butions from the benevolent while the hospital has retained the major ity of its friends who kindly donate to its work yearly and is continually adding new ones donations dimin ished to a somewhat alarming extent in the response to last years appeal for funds and there has been little improvement in that respect through out the year it is unthinkable that any child needing the humane ser vice provided by the hospital should be refused the trustees are anxious and can only hope that the kind- hearted people of tbe province will see them through the difficulty by a most generous response to the present appeal public benevolence has built the hospital for sick children to tho proud eminence ot being the finest institution of its kind in the world its country branch at thlstletown is a recognized model and persons in terested in child welfare come from all parts of the globe to inspect it any child in the province of ontario deformed or diseased is eligible for admittance to this wonderful insti tution where the very finest treat ment known to medical and surgical science is at once available there is no class or creed distinction the very best that any hospital can give is placed within easy reach of the poorest child now more urgently than ever before is the hospital in need of contributions and no amount would be considered too small please ask the benevolent in your community to help tell them that the story of the hospital covering 57 years is not that of merely adding cot to cot and ward to ward it is the story of a battle constantly waged against disease and deformity with all the advancing resources of the medical and surgical sciences it is a story of demands which have ever exceeded the financial resources but which have always been met by generous response to appeals for aid but for this generosity the hospital would many times have been bankrupt ask your readers please to prevent it from becoming so now fclthfully yours douglas s robertson trustee ancient chinese mirrors mirrors were important to the chinese not only as aids to vanity but also because of the belief that they dispelled evil spirits and goblins ac cording to dr berthold laufer cura tor of anthropology the common superstition that breaking a mirror brings bad luck prevails in china and goes far back into antiquity the breaking of a mirro in china augurs a separation from ones wife by death or otherwise and is second in evil potent only to smashing an oil jar dr laufer said an old legend tells ofa husband and wife who were compelled to part shortly after break ing a mirror each took half of the broken mirror as a pledge of fidelity subsequently tho wife violated her promise of faithfulness and her part of the mirror changed into a magpie which flew to her husband to tell him this legend led to the decoration of many mirrors with carved or other re presentations of magpies until the introduction of glass mir rors from europe in comparatively modern times all chinese mirrors were cost of bronze sometimes alloy ed with gold or solver or of iron the reflecting surface being highly polish ed by means of mercury and some times by a coating of black lacquer the backs were usually artistically decorated mirrors were used in burials being placed faco downward in tho grave with the idea of lighting the grave and keeping evil spirits away it was the ancient belief that spirits and goblins could render them selves invisible but th t their images would at once become visible when re flected in a mirror and to avoid this they would retreat from mirrors for this reason dr laufer ays mirrors still function as charms and are
