"I don't see any reason at all why an air servleo should not be maintained from Canadu, across Greenland to Europe," he said today. "Hut I am against any service by airship. Airplanes ure belter suited," he added. "l.reenland, you know. Is pretty high," he said, "It's a plateau and an airship would have to go to 10,004) feet to clear it. Then again when It would have to come down, It would have to lose gas. And If It caine too low the. fog, and there most generally* Is fog around there would congeal on Its sides, so It wouldn't be safe.

Other suggestions were for early action on the syllabus, for the calling together of the general membership from time to time to be put in touch with the progress made in festival arrangements, and for a further membership drive when such meeting, should be held.

Three men were still missing, and two were seriously Injured on account of forest fires. Two were killed. Weather bureau officials said the situation was hatardons, and predicted lightning storms and high winds for many danger points. Long flrea at Bonn and Trov threatened to ]otn. Resident* packed their belonging* and prepared to escape. Many had left already. Families on the west side of the Thoy lire were commanded to evacuate. Between 10 and 30 ranches were burned, LOCOMOTIVES AS EMERGENCIES At Bovlll three locomotives were kept steamed up, that they might furnish poww when the Washington water power lines were burned down, or that they might speed off at the last minute with refugees. More than 1100 men fought these two fires. Lightning, flashing across central and north Idaho, east Washington and western Montana, sent new fires spouting embers and smoke like volcanoes. From LewlBton came reports of 50 new fires and shifting gusts of wind through the Clearwater forest. The Clearwater Timber Protective association had 20 Urea, with 16 controlled and four raging through valuable whit* pine Btands. Three were on Gold creek and one on Silver creek, and 100 men were sent to fight them, One square mile of whlt« pine burned near Big island. The Craig mountain fire, which threatened the hamlet of Forest, Idaho, was "held precariously on a half-mile front. The Eagle and Sheep creek fire of 5000 acres was chocked, but wai still expected to burn for a week WIND STARTS ROARING A 50-mlle wind yesterday wt fires roaring on the St. Joe forest at Avery, I«lsh Hook creek, Midget and Waho creeks. Fire fighters were driven away by flame. A 600-acre fire near Superior, Mont., was controlled after en? residence was destroyed. In east Washington, the deadliest tires, near Newp-vrt, were controlled, though hundreds of men still fought them under a haze of smoke that blotted the sun. Telephone and telegraph lines were burned down, and roads were blocked by falling trees In the fire areas. Fires burned In these national forests: Kanlksu, Belway. Cabinet. Nez Perce, St. Joe. Kootenai. Pend Orelllt. Clearwater, Lola, Deer Lodge, and in most timber protective regions and state forests.

That the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan ahould designate two Interprovinclal highways for aid under the Dominion plan for building a transcanada highway, as part of the program for unemployment relief was the suggestion made by William Findlay, veteran member of the executive committee of the Canadian Oood Roads association who wu in the city last night. Mr. Findlay who ls president of the Lord & Thomas and Logan advertising agency, is on his way east. He will visit at Lethbridge Regina and Winnipeg. He Is making his first visit to Nelson. Mr, Findlay Is visiting tlie highway departments In the various provinces west of the lakes on a mission connected with the Canadian Good Roads association, two transprovlnclal roads should SEVERAL REASONS "There are several reasons why be designated ln British Columbia for aid by the Dominion under the unemployment plan," said Mr. Findlay. "No other province has had to ahow the courage of undertak. Ing such bold road building pro] • ects. In the face of a spare* population ln the interior, the practical completion of two highways across the province and the partial completion of a third ls something for Easterners to marvel at. With other parts of Canada, and even the United States, contributing to the ranks of the unemployed in this province lt seems pertinent that the Dominion should assist two roads across British Columbia instead oi one. MEET THE NEED.s "The designation u two roads would almost completely meet the needs for transprovlnclal highway facilities according to my observa. tion. The greatest possible area and tlie largest number of people would be adequltely served. Local Jealousies and disappointment would he averted. "These roads would be largely tourist roads. It will be known that the tourist likes to go one way and come back another. With the transoa nada highway the tourist from the east, will drop' down Into the United States for his return trip, and the American tourist from the coast likely do the same. Two highways will keep a large proportion of the tourist wholly in Canada. "Another phase ls that in Alberta and Saskatchewan there Is Insistent demand for two highways. It is obvious that Regina and Calgary would not bo pleased If the road through Saskatoon and Edmonton were designated as a transcanada road. My observation has been that one transcanada highway will neither meet the needs nor satisfy the aspirations of the west," concluded Mr. "Findlay. 60 INJURED IN STRFOIOTING 3000 Chinese Attack the Japanese Fascist Headquarters WHEAT EXPORT FOR WEEK IS SMALLER TOKIO, Aug. 19.

An order- I m-council setting forth the .specific powers vested in the minister of labor in connection with those measures was given out, together with a statement by Hon. Gideon rtoberston, minister of labAV. Enlarging upon, the regulations in explanation of the various relief proposals, Sen- lator Robertson said that all I members of the house of commons had been invited to furnish the government with suggestions regarding federal undertaking that might usefully be carried out in their constituencies under the direction of the Dominion department o f public works. Those operations involved the construction of public buildings, wharves, repairs to both, and generally needed federal works of all descriptions. "Such undertakings," continued Senator Robertson, "also embrace such construction as might be conducted co-operatively by the federal and provincial governments, under the direction of the provincial authorities. In such cases there would be proper federal supervision in order to protect federal interests. Those works, it is expected, will largely consist of highway construction throughout Canada. HON.

"Such rroceUuie,"' continued Senator Robertson, "is necessary becauso of the varying Intensity of unemployment In different part* of the Dominion. AU provinces have already been asked to reply as promptly ar. possible—and not later than the end of the present month—a statement showing registrations and approximately accurate estimates of the number of unemployed in each province. 8-HOUR DAY 'The federal government universally suggests that the well recognized (standard eight-hour day should be respected by all partiea, and that a maximum day of eight hour* should be given aU relief undertaking!. Except for caus« shown satisfactory to the minister of labor, any variation from this principle may be Justified. "The provincial and municipal authorities will fix tha rates ot compensation to be paid on works Initiated by them, the federal government fixing th« wage rates only on purely federal undertakings. All contracts are to provide that materials used shall be the product of Canadian mills, factories and labor, wherever available. The government desires that hand labor ahould be used to the maximum possible extent. CANADIAN PREFERENCE "The rate» tbey will fix shall not exceed those prevailing for the class and kind of work in the district where that work la performed, providing that such rates are fair and reasonable. In work let by contract, preference shall be given to Canadian construction firms established and operating in Canada prior to January 1, 1031. "All workmen employed on rr- llpf undertakings shall be residents of Canada, and from the locality nearest where the work is being performed. The regulations provide that no discrimination be exercised or permitted ln the employment of, and granting direct relief to any person, who is a British subject. By reason of race, religion or political affiliation. "The minister of labor will direct a_ to rederai inspection and supervl tion rieoesssry. and the federal gov. ernment will bear tbe costs thereby involved. WORK THROUGH PROVINCE "I desire to emphasize," said ben i»tor Robertson, "the necessity of all Individual communications being submitted to, and through! the mil- niclpil and provincial authorities since it is physically Impossible fo: the minister of labor to give attention to correspondence received from Individuals concerning unemploymeni and relief undertakings. "In western Canada particularly where J hrough crop failures and drought tt may be Impossible to provide employment sufficient to meet all needs, direct relief Mill la most Instances doubtless have to he given. This i. especially so ln those parts where crops of botli grain and feed have totally failed. The federal government's contribution in this regard must necessarily be on the basis of need unci as It so largely affrcis agriculture, the federul governments Interests will be directed through the minister of that department. (.mm: crossings "Through the board of railway rommls5ionerB the opportunity for tubsUntlal assistance to relieve unemployment by thc further elimination of grade crossings which would provide protection against accidents and injuries aa well as creatine employment, will be embraced. Some 29 subways and grade eliminations' have already been ipplted for. They will be under the direction of the minister of railways. "Th« carrying on of measures to provldo employment lu national parks areas will be under the particular direction of the minister o. the interior. CLOTHING HE'.IIREMENTS "The minister also points out thai due to the extended period of depression and tho waning resources of the unemployed persons, clothing requirements will be acute this coming winter. He therefore urge8 cooperation of si) chases of the people with organization/* such ss the red cross, and other similar associations, in providing snd contributing goods and funds in order to furnish the destitute wtth the necessities. "Tlie cooperation of business Interest and private citizen*- proposing to erect buildings of all kinds is specially asked for at this time, tn order to promote the restoration of norma! conditions.

Helen ls by tar the most popular girl In town. And Tommy, has an assured social position, as his father Is president ot the bank ln w*lch Helen Is a typist. Helen lives wtth her cousin, Nina Hlgginson, a young and wealthy widow, who h?.d married a man much her senior, after throwing over the courtly Ethan Klngsway. Free again, Nina sets her cap for Ethan once more. She even oilows htm to Europe. Tommy's fath- er has secured a place for him In a bank in Wisconsin. Helen prepares to Join her future husband. She get* * letter from Tommy breaking the engagement. It la plain that Mrs. Delamater hH encouraged Tommy's action. Doris Mllllken, who ts secretly engaged to Nina's stepson.

She opened her eyes, conscious first of a violently aching head; next, that head was on a linen-covered pillow, and that she was undressed and ln the middle ot o wide mahogany slelgh-bed. She moved the head—which shot sps;ks inside aa she did it—and saw the pile of magnificent red hair, tbe tr regular-featured, kindly face, the slightly bent slim figure of Mrs. Klngsway, whom she had seen driving by now and again but hsd never known. Sh* leaned on a cane lightly and spoke to someone across ths bed, who came into view, a known figure -aleo; gray-haired, pleasant Ttt. Oaynor who came to dine at Nina's as often as he could nanafe tt. He said with profas- stonal aheermess: "Well, well, Helen, what have you teen up to? Bumping your head Oa Mre. Klngsway's pet tree, eh? ■ere, tty child—" to Patricia, whose mOaomeos made Helen percleve (toss ehe bad also Joined herself to *h* party, "never sit on an invalid's bod without an invitation. . . .How 4o you feel, Helen?" "Ao tt rd bumped my heed against 0 t-OtC said Helen ruefully, "and aether oUly.** "Bboll be oil right," said the doc- tor. prying Patricia off the bed, WblOh she took aa calmly as she did moot things. "Keep her tn_re, Mm. Klngsway; I know you like netting young things." Sho nod suddenly returned to an environment of (friendliness and kindly won. Tn ©ot tired.'* she said. "I tnuet got up and go back." She turned gratefully to Mrs. Kingsway. "Thank you over ao much for being so kind. I must go now. . . Mra. Klngsway paid no attention, beyond saying*. "My Marietta la always complaining she hssnt enough to do. She adores bringing people treya. and I think one's on the way now." She smiled down on Helen, about her faoe and whole personality a sweetness and charm that won Helen Irresistibly, and smoothed out tbe wide old-fashioned lace collar that was on Helen's nightdress, a garment of soft transparent linen. "TouTe ao much taller than I om that I had to put a nightdress on you out of my mother-in-law's trousseau." she-remarked irrelevantly "Cousin Ada looks like the god mother ln Cinderella, with the cane and all," remarked Patricia, who never liked to be long out of a conversation, and was not delicate in her consideration of feelings. But Mrs. Klngsway only laughed. "And my nose, too," she added cheerfully. "I inherited lt from the wrong side of ihe family. Now I'll go back and reassure Ethan, who doubtless thinks he has murdered you, and leave you to Marietta's treys." She bent and kissed Helen ln a motherly fashion, snd was gone, more lightly than one would have though lt possible to anyone who was crippled with rheumatism Marietta Clarkson, the wife of Andrew the handy-man who lived at the little lodge outside the gates, entered very shortly with the tray Helen had heard of. It wae worth hearing about, and only recalled Mrs. Birch's by its difference; a beautiful old oblong Japanned tray all bright irredescent patterns, such aa Nina had bid high for at the last auction they attended, and failed to get; but more perfect. On it was set a large two-handled bowl, blue and white, with a pine-cone pattern; besides lt lay an embroidered napkin and an oddly shaped clumsy sliver spoon. Helen crlvd out: "Why. they're all museum-pieces!" She knew a good deal about old glass and silver and china. She'd had to study such things to help Nina, and besides had a natural love for them. She loved everything that was beautiful. And these were each lovely of their kind. "Yep, heirlooms," said * Marietta with pride. "The soup's good Just the same. The Klng&ways ls queer that way. Ef Ethan was Itvln' down suller where nobody sees him he'd use this sort of things Just the same. And there was a time he could have used the money the stuff brought. Here, le' me take the lid off." She set the tray across Helen's knees, and propped her up. Helen found herself really hungry; she rarely took more than a glass of milk for luncheon, and this morning hadn't wanted muck breakfast. She dipped the oddly shaped spoon In the old Worcester bowl and found tbe food was very good; a perfect cream of mushroom soup, the kind Nina never had because lt wae fattening. Marietta scarcely waited for her to be through before she began to ask questions. "How'd you get in?" she demanded. "All I know is, Mr. Ethan came ln with you ln his arms like a big doll—he's strong as a horse. And that imp of Satan he brought home from France after John Klngsway died dancln' around him all the time askln' questions, so I never got time to lind out anything." There was a note of defvaudment in Marietta's voice; tor times when Marietta Clarkson didn't find out anything were said in the village to be rare. Helen hastened to tell her something. "I thought the family were away and the gate waa open. Then ! got excited, talking to Mr. Klngsway. and tripped and backed Into tree." "Mrs. Klngsway's pet walnut," Marietta checked up. "Well, you couldn't have hurt it none." Patricia, who had been swept out by the doctor, slipped In again the minute Marietta was gone. "Are you through being stunned?" nhe demanded. As she stood over Helen her startling blonde beauty was more manifest than ever. She was like a small Valkyr, It occurred to Helen; her features, clear-cut In miniature, her thick blonde hair, her slim erectnesf. all giving an uncanny feeling that here was a grown woman masquerading as a 10-year-old child. "Yes. I am. Why does Marietta rail you an imp of Satan?" demanded Helen lazily. "Because there Isn't a soul on earth can manage me, except Cousin Ethan, and he's away a lot." stated Patricia with complacence, smoothing down the close-fitting sweater which wag just the blue of her eyes. "You simply cant reason with me, snd punishments have no effect!' "How do you know?" asked Helen. "I've r-ad four governesses ln six weeks, arid this one's leaving." said Patricia blithely, "and they all .aid lt. To Ethan's mother. She's laid up with art—something like Arthur —most of the time. . . . .Sometimes I get so bored, hearing about myself—" Patricia sighed a little, but with an imp ot excltment gleaming in her eyes. Helen decided on a lino. I ahould think people would hive been bored hearing about you," she said, at which the child seemed not only surprised but shocked. Tho Idea that ahe could bore anyone was evidently new. "Why don't they send you to school?" Patricia looked a little embarrassed for the first time. "Father's Ideas of education were different," sho said. "Ho said education ruined women's charm. He always talked to me like that. We wero each other's favorite friend." She caught her lip in her teeth suddenly, and her eyes filled with tears. "But he he left me fab-fa'lously rich," she gasped defensively. Helen reached over and caught her In ber arms. "You poor baby," she said. "1 understand." The child pulled away, haughty and erect. "He said Kingswsya never cried, she said. Then she spoke to Helen with an assumption ot con. \oua patronage which closed any possibility of further sympathy: "You're still feeling stunned, aren't you? I'll go let you rest." Helen, left alone, found her mind taken out ot Itself for the first time In months. Patricia was Interesting. Helen remembered vaguely, now hearing of a John Klngsway, very wealthy, "higher headed than the most of the Klngsways even," Tacy had aald, whose wife had left him, and who had burled himself in, Europe. Evidently she had also left' the little girl, and her father, embittered and whimsical, had made her a confidante and plaything- half older, half younger than her yeara, caring little what he did to a plastic, sensitive little mind. . . . She was suddenly awed by the strength of the Klngsway tradition Even this impish girl-child was held by It—"Klngsways never cried." She began to understand Ethan Kings- way's character better. He ahd the hand of a dozen generations of "steel-and-velvet cavaliers" on his shoulder. No wonder ho wouldn't turn tht Klngsway place into cheap building lots, no wonder he expected such terribly high standards from people! She thought of the high walls, of Mrs. Klngswsy's kind, merry face, and turned over and wen* to sleep. She woke next day to face what she thought at -first wss a painting of Ethan In fancy dress hanging on the wall at her bed-foot. Then she realized that lt must be the ancestor of whom he had told Patricia, the first American Kingsway. The same air of quiet, smiling certainty that yet somehow held a challenge, the same fair hair, allowed here to curl to the shoulders; and under the plumed hat the same steady gray eyes. Only the Cavalier was a little gayer, a little less thoughful; a redder and fuller mouth under the longer mustache, a less firm hand, though, as long and slender, under the lace ruffle. She dreaded, somehow, meeting Ethan again, among all these things that explained him. Marietta entered in what Helen began to regard as her normal tray- bearing state. This tray had wore on it: fragrant coffee, hot rolls with butter antj raspberry Jam, small brown sausages In a row. And she said, smiling with obvious pleasure at feeding somebody, , "Now, you set rlgnt up and eat this. You must b© slept out. It's two in the after noon!" Helen ate with appetite. The food was much better than Mrs. Birch'*! —she almost said so. then she remembered that sister-in-law. Marietta took the empty tray, surveying it with approval. "Now do you think you could rliess and go talk to Mrs. Klngsway? This is one of her down days." 'Of course I could!" Helen set tip- right, and put one foot out of bed, All right. Your clothes are on the chair, and there's always lots of hot water in this house since we got the new water heater. The bathroom's there." 15he pointed to a door, and left Helen to dress. She found, when she wa_. dressed, that she had been brought a flight upstairs. Her door fronted on a *lde hall, and a door across, half open, must bp Mrs. Kings-way's. She could see a canary fluttering up and down ln his bright wire cage, and a piece of the cretonne curtain, patterned with baskets of roses, belly ing in the air ot the window A "Lonesome" Miscreant By BEATRICE FAIRFAX An Authority on Problem* of Love and Marriage MRS. MARSHALL OF CRESTON GOES TO COAST ON A VISIT Ott the front page ot a nws-. perhaps with children at your side. that thla awn on whom you depended was a bit cracked—and a distinct liability. While every right-minded person must feel that forebearance is desirable in human relations, a girl should not be blind during the early acquaintance with men, esspec- lally in her engagement. It is the trial period, if there la much to overlook then make up your mind there wll be much more after marriage.. After the "I wills" have been said It la bard for a conscientious person to break up. and rightly so A woman who was a martyr to her sense of duty wrote me letters about her unhappy domestic relations for several months. She had conaclen tious scruples about divorce. Too late she realized that the man she adored before marriage was actually a brute. Not only did hla drinking nearly wreck her fortune, but he beat her as well. His periods of remorse and reform were short lived. Finally his dlssapatlon resulted ln his death and she was free. But by this time, her confidence in lite was shaken. She went abroad to forget, but some things cannot be forgotten. Some scars never heal. If this lady had been like my correspondent, who noticed early ln her acquaintance «n utter lack of discipline ln the young man who wanted to marry her, she would have been warned and could have saved herself. Don't for the sake of having a boy friend, accept anything ln trousers. If they're uncouth, Ill-mannered, m&ke and break dates with out reason or the usual "I'm sorry.' It Is better to sit on the porch or the fire escape and spend the evening alone than to take chances with someone who will make you suffer acutely after you've married him, when escape Is expensive and paper recently. 1 saw that a young man had been arrested tor turning ln 10 fire alarms in about two and one half hours. When he was finally locked up, he told the police that he was lonesome. Hia lQea ot dispelling lonesome neas waa first to buy corn whisky: then to drink it, and finally to take a brickbat and break the glass of the first alarm box he could find, pull the string which calls the fire- department, and then look for other boxes. As the paper stated, he found nine more. The weather was hot and humid. Things were slow for this young fellow. His inspiration made things hum for the fire department. The next day tbe police magistrate, con siderlng the effect of llnesomeness in this individual, sentenced him to Jail and also imposed a heavy fine. ^^^^~ That might have been the end so far ao I am concerned. But yesterday I had a letter enclosing the clipping above noted, and in this letter the girl writes she's afraid that "Lone some" might be a young man she turned down, and asks: "Am I at fault? Should I do anything about It?' Wtth perfectly clear conviction I aay "No" and I congratulate you on turning down such a suitor, The law Is taking care of this eccentric and impatient young man I am glad your name was not given publicity. The general public well as our friends have the unhappy gift at being amused at a situation of this kind, Doubtless your own good common sense caused you to size up this young man for what he turned out to be, Things don't always turn out so neatly ss in the fire-alarm case. Quite without fault on your part you might have gone smoothly on from courtship to marriage only to find at some crisis in your life, full of complications. Mrs. J. M.

This land the city intends to make into a suitable parking space for automobiles. Lakeside park has been, and still is a popular spot during the warm dry weather. Every week thousands flock to the cool refreshing grounds and wonderful sandy beaches. Improvements have been made to the park which have made the beauty spot more and more popular. Additional improvements are contemplated. The result has been more and more park frequenters. This in turn has meant more and more automobiles needing parking space at the park. It is in the city's interest to provide ample and safe parking room off the main thoroughfares around the park. Already the parking space is too small on a Saturday, Sunday or a Wednesday. The council is taking a step in the right direction. Anything that will make our park more popular and convenient for the frequenters there will pay in the long run. Start the Worn-Hold the Conference at a Later Date British Columbia has, rightly, taken a stand against an unemployment conference in Ottawa a few weeks hence. The province considers that this step will delay for some weeks the start or a progam to give the unemployed work. British Columbia wishes to start its program of work without the least bit of delay. Close to 15,000 men have signed the unemployment roll and have signified their intention to go to relief camps proposed to aid just such cases. An unemployment conference in Ottawa may be an excellent thing, not only for British Columbia, but for the Dominion as a whole, but the Dominion should decide and speedily just what is to be done for British Columbia. If the Dominion is intent upon helping out in this present crisis, and it appears to be Hon. H. H. Stevens, minister of trade and commerce being in the province on this mission, then let the Dominion make known its stand so that relief camps can be organized and the thousands of men who need help put to work. Then, as Victoria says, if the Dominion plans an unemployment conference British Columbia will be only too glad to participate. But let's get the work started. Premier Bennett Has Worked Hard on Unemployment Problem Of Premier Bennett it can be truthfully said that his handling of the unemployment problem has left little room for criticism. When he called a special session of parliament last fall and appropriated $28,- 000,000 for relief, the Liberals were filled with vague fears that much of the sum might go to unemployed politicians. But the regular session of parliament had no fault to find with the way the money had been expended. Again, when he brought down his second relief bill in the closing days of thc session just past, the only objection the opposition had to offer was to the writing of a "bank cheque." Fix any sum and we'll vote it." was the burden of their song. All their fears that the money would be spent foolishly or for political purposes had vanished. Their one criticism was that it was establishing a bad precedent to give the premier unlimited power in regard to anything. Nor has Mr. Bennett tried to conserve his energy in finding a solution for the major problem now before the people. Thc end of a session in which he assumed an abnormal burden found him working with all his old zeal and enthusiasm to make sure that no man who is willing to work will go cold or hungry this winter. That he will succeed goes without saying. Fruit Growers Kick The president of the associated fruit, and vegetable growers of British Columbia thinks the new Australian trade treaty leaves these producers "worse off than they were before." His objections are that while Australian fruits and onions are given concessions in the Canadian market, Canadian growers do not get any compensating favor in the Australian market. Canadian apples are still under an embargo as far as Australia is concerned, and Canadian onions are subject to preferential rates which are the same as thc general rates, $40 a ton. On paper at least this would seem to be a good case for the claim that B. C. growers have got rather less than nothing out of the deal, says the Edmonton Bulletin. But the injury imposed upon them may be more apparent than real. It is possible to exaggerate the market that outsiders can find for fruit and vegetables in a country where these can be grown the year round, as in Australia. The Australians may have also overestimated the market they can find in Canada for classes of fruits and vegetables such as are grown here. Much of our economic depression is due to the fact that we have mortgaged the future to heavily. There should be a certain amendment in the financial outlook. As Sir Josiah Stamp says: "You can pay your debt. to the past by putting the future in debt to yourself." Five of the transcanada air pageant planes are in the United States illegally, not having cleared customs.

(Continued* I am not thlnkln in terms of big Plans, i am thinking of men and women carrying on, with suspicion and distrust left out, and sinoere cooperative effort brought in. In agriculture, i am thinking of all th0 respective staffs in the agricultural departments m «ach province ahd at Ottawa, of progressive farmers of proven capacity in all parts of the Dominion, securing groups, of form-era ln given localities, who wu promise to work together In constructive planning and improved farm practice. I know ol one such group, formed during recent months, tn this country, largely through the personality o fthe local veterinary doctor, it comprise* 52 farmers, who are peldged, m writing, to a cooperative effort with the agricultural district representative, the local veterinary doctor and the veterinary staff ol the Ontario Research Foundation, to stamp out contagious abortion in the cattle on their farms. They have formed their own committee, have, signed a pledge for common effort, supervised by the local veterinary doctor and agricultural district representative, with the scientific -work performed by th0 veterinary staff of the Ontario Research Foundation. AH concerned are carrying on ln a remarkably thorough-going manner, notwithstanding fiome are hard hit In carrying out their pledge. It is but an incomplete illustration of the potential value In various community adventures which may be undertaken upon the farms ln every province of Canada, and to which the members can bring Intimate practical experience, supported, if need be, by scientific research, and private or government experimental demonstration. This l_ a natural and rational development, which wll bring returns, some 30. some 60, _ome 100-fold. Are we to have reduction in wage*. In salaries, Including salaries of our senior executives? percentages of expense ln all enterprises are computed as to the dollar volume of sales nr output. With 'he values of the commodities entering Into this volume now cut in price 10 ta 00 per cent, the agregate volume in dollars is consequently lower. The items entering int*. expense must therefore be relatively reduced if a rational balance between volume and expense Ib to be preserved. What arc these items—rents, salaries -.including, as I have said, bHlarics of senior executives), ■•.ages, light, heat, power, repairs, etc Similarly with commodities if) to 60 per cent lower in price, the standard of living can be retained upon a reduced salary or reduced wages as the true value oi salaries and wages i? their buying power. Thc concensus m lpfnrmed opinion is, that while there will be eotaa recovery trom present record l<->w prices bf primary products, we have definitely, entered into a pvlod or years of materialy owe commoity values. In consequence, all concerned should help in the inevitable readjustment, whereby the expert** ratio Ln industry shall bc brought into step with the reduced prices of primary commodities, with conse- quent reduction In price, of ftnlbhed products or services. This can be made possible through m -perative consent In rational reduction of the charges rntering into expense, If Hie purttes concerned willingly negotiate an understanding. If suspicion. Ul-temper, mid prejudices command the field, a rational understanding wl] not be reached: yet what should be accomplished in peaceful negotiation will ultimately be inrced into effect In bitter struggle, with its accompanying bitter memories which will long rankle.

All the king's horses and all the king's men, al! the organizations concerned, of whatever sort, however powerfully entrenched, cannot in opposition, do more than delay the necessary readjustment.

I am thinking of the mil- Hans of helpless men and women who ar*) unemployed, with consequent distress to themselves and to women and children in their homes. These husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers, have done no wrong other than to expressa willingness to work, and that no man will hire th-*m Until confidence la restored, and ..men come to believe in one another, until bhcre is a greater sense of seucrlty, we will have the unemployed. If the executive heads of the labour unions over this continent voluntarily ask Industrial, transportation, and sorporatlon chiefs, to sit down with them, that together they may counsel in what cau wisely be accomplished in readjustment of wages and salaries, to reestablish industrial health, they will awaken an influence of momentous import, which will re-echo round the world, and, will profoundly affect the early re-establishment ol more normal activities ecploytng labour. A stricken world, in which the hearts of men are sorely tried, does not call for the exercise of arbltary power, but for the redeeming qualities of grace and wisdom. Will organized labour in the United States and Canada give the needed leadership, that wages shall be readjusted to tlie lowered values of commodities? The need la not fur wages, but full employment at an equitable wage. CANADA ULL RECOVER I know as little, ae you when thc period of depression wtll have completed its course, or when improvement will definitely register. The one certainty ls that Canada will recover, fully recover, from the troubles of these gloomy days; for In due course, wo will find our bearings, and will develop steadier judgment. Wo will reject nostrums and panaceas as remedies, and will plan and carry on constructively for the longer future, notwithstanding few things at such a time seem to bc more difficult than the long view; our crowded days keep us Jostling among the events of the moment, with never an hour to measure our horizons or a vista to see them. Whether Bast or West, In hamlet or city, on Iarm or in industry, In minerals or in timber, in fisheries or in shipping. In trade or in commerce, we are dependent for useful results upon the constant exercise of good sense, balanced Judgement, intelligent and .patient direction, and sustained hard work. There is no short cut whereby we will win through. I make no effort to conceal, to minimize, or speak lightly of tho deep anxiety, concern, and suffer ing presently experienced. I would I could say they will pass quickly, They will not. The Improvements must be gradual, and disappointingly slow. We will have entered lt, and will travel in a better way for some time before we are con sclous of the improvement.

These are the word* of Dr. Walter Carr speaking at a meeting or ** Mental After Care Association or Oreat Britain. This organization had been organized lor over fifty years and yet It was only during the past year With the ibove hand ln Auction bridge south would bid one heart and obt.in the contract. In contract south's one heart would be raised to four by north. When t "C hand was played west led his lourth bat diamond. North played email and east won with the kaig and returned the suit. North won with the ace and the trumps were flneEsed. The finesse lc*t io west's king and a third dlamon'. v/as led by west and ruffled by east. Arter that, the adversaries won with their ace or spades and consequently saved the game. Was hard luck or bad playing responsible Tor this result? THE CORRECT PLAY Playing from the dummy to the first trick, declarer should have appreciated that the lead In all probability was not from the king because leaders seldom open up a king suit against a trump declaration. Of course if the lead had been made -from the king, passing to south's queen would ensure the taking of two diamond tricks; and If the heart finesse worked successfully, twelve tricks could be won. On the other hand If the lead were not from the king, east's king would win and he would return the suit, if. aa was probable, he had only one more card of it. Then if the trump finesse lost, a diamond would be riifred and declarer would, fall to make game. Foreseeing what might happen, declarer cauld have tried to guard Against It In any one of three ways: (1) being the best plan: (O by playing the ace of diamonds from dummy and at once leading thc ace and king c. clubs, discarding a diamond from a closed hand, and after that finessing the trumps, thus limiting his losses to one diamond, ono trump and one spade. (2) If he wishes to take a chance on the diamond lead, win the second trick and lead with two good clubs, discarding a diamond from closed hand before finessing trumps. The rlak of the latter method would be that west might have led from six diamonds with east holding the singleton king. In that case, west winning trick 2 wiih the ace of spades, could give east a diamond ruff and the game would be lost. (.> South could finesse west's diamond lead at trick 1, and, when east returned the deuce of diamonds, south should give up the trump finesse, leading the ace and then another heart. What the Press Says NEW ZEALAND AND CANADA There i_ a vast difference between the diplomatic resitence of the Australian minister and the absolute silence of the New Zealand government regarding the prospect of tariff negotiations with Canada. The mater is too Important to be left ln Its present state of uncertainty. It ls known that the prime minister, who definitely undertook to conduct ne- goti.Nlons with the Canadian government has had no opportunity oT pursuing them to a successful issue. There is no suggestion that his undertaking has been delegated to any other representative of New Zealand. Surely it is time the government announced whether it proposes to make any effort or whether it has surendered all hope of achieving results m a field already exploited by the Australian minister, —Auckland Weekly News.

Over the week end another, and very important decision on the part of tlie government has been an- nourred.

"ThU year a veritable epidemic of un desirable advertising has appeared on the Cariboo highway, detracting from the natural beauty of the road- its main asset.

Their work now consists to a large extent of the elimination and care of individuals who are not mentally sick enough to go into the hospital for the insane, and yet need mental guidance. In this country we have -vhat is called psychiatry Institutes where Individual* who have done queer or nonsensical things go or are sent for an examination. This Mental After Care Association reported 410 eases sent to them lest year from general hospitals or out patients departments of psychiatric hospitals. Practically all of these had so far recovered as to be able to return to thetr homes and occupations, without requiring any cars or treatment an hospital for the insane. By the new Mental Treatment act ln Great Britain, Individuals who had spent some time ln a mental hospital Vers given after care for a considerable time after they were considered norma] again. Formerly these patients whilst in the mental hospital had been shielded from strains and stresses which had brought about their condition, but when they returned horns to a family who viewed them with apprehension, and found thetr occupation gone, the probability of a relapse was very great. It was to prevent or forestall thla that the Mental After Care Association existed, but the prevention of the original attack not merely a relapse would be increasingly Important work of the Association. After all, this really means that now slight mental cases are prevented from becoming serious mental cases by early treatment, Instead of waiting to get treatment after ths condition has become greatly advanced and the patient not only requires hospital treatment but also special care after he leaves tbe hospital for home.

WOULD PUT UNEMPLOYED TO WORK CLEARING LAND Could Then Make Living for Selves; Believes Industry Will Not Re-employ All Those Out of Work After Roads Built VICTORIA. Aug. 18—In the course of concise and comprehensive discussion of national conditions, during which lie pointed out the route which the world was following to Industrial and economic revolution, B. C Majers K. C. today suggested to members of t he Victoria iltlMiiV unemployed relief fund committee a scheme to supplant tlic government plan or road construction fur unemployment relief. Briefly, Mr. Mayers Miggrsted that the money be paid unemployed for building roads should bf used for ..caring of logged off lands for agricultural pur poses and the establishment * forms on whleh those now deotl- , lute and out of work could be installed. It appeared, he ei- plalned, that Industry would net reabsorb those who are now out of work. The present crisis was different to any which had occurred previously and when the road program of the government were finished they would end up where they started wHh many men still out of work. By utilizing them now to establish (arms on which they could settle afterwards and become self supporting, this situation would be averted.

But the fact is that today in towns and villages and cities everywhere hundreds of thousands of counters are honest and friendly in a way his could never be. They offer ADVERTISED merchandise! A manufacturers' "stands sponsor for this merchandise On it he has put his name and brand. So sure is he of its usefulness, its purity and correct weight, or size, or strength, or delicacy, that he talks to you about it on thc pages of magazines and newspapers. From coast to coast you can buy his product with confidence. Wherever you find it, and whoever sells it, you have the assurance that its quality will bc what you expect and that thc price vou pay is fair. in your home town and wherever you travel on business or pieasure, you may trade at friendly counters!

C. Makers, K. C, today suggented tu members of the Victoria -ItlKii!-' unemployed relief fund committee a scheme to supplant the government plnn of road construction for unemployment relief, Briefly, Mr. Mayers suggested that the money be paid unemployed for building roads rthould he used for clearing of logged off lands for agricultural pur poses and the establishment ot farms on which those now deatl- . tute and out of work could be Installed. It appeared, he explained, that Industry would not reabsorb tlio*e who at* now out or work. The present crisis was different to any which had occurred previously snd when the road program of the government were finished they would end up where they started wHh many men still out or work. By utilizing them now to establish farms on which they could settle afterwards and become self supporting, this situation would be averted.

Typhoid, cholera and dysentery were ravaging the helpless Chinese. One of the most important dykes of Wachang, which with Hankow and Hanyang forma the so called trl-cltles, collapsed today, while at Hanyung the waters reached the tops of thc gates of the city's ancient wall. Baker said h* considered the flood "probably China's most terrible disaster in the present century." The Yangtse last night reached a level of 53 feet, five Inches, an all- time record. The previous high record was 50 feet, six inches on August 4, 1870. Baker told of negotiations start* i with the United States government in the hope of buying, on Ion-- credit terms, a part of the surplus wheat carried by the American farm board. The commission's Investigators were prepared for scenes of utter misery among the refugees. Undermining of reservoirs by tho flood threatened to stop the city's supply of drinkable water.

C, Aug. 18—At a public meeting on August 8 an association, to grapple with the problem of obtaining action from the provincial government to go ahead with the construction of the road from Edgewood to Renata, wu formed. The main object of the organization, which Is known as the "Road South association," ts to urge upon all the powers that be," the necessity of this road, until the desired result is accomplished. The. members, who pay a subscription fee of 25 cents, are pledged to talk "road south' whenever the opportunity occurs, and to enroll further members. The present committee, which waa elected pro tem, is composed of Messrs. Traves, Leggatt of Needles, Egloff. McLeod, Job, Maylor and Dr. Kelso RESOLUTION CONTENDS A resolution passed at meetings on July 30 and August 6, points out the fact that a road already exists from Vernon to Edgewood and that a road souli from Edgewood for a distance of 23 miles would be the logical and moet natural route for traffic and the tourists between the Okanagan points and the Kootenays. A survey of the route was promised by the government three years ago. On the latter fact the organization ls partly basing its request for the road work which it wants to commence before the winter sete in. The resolution also points out that If the road existed south from Edge- wood there would be~a saving of ftO miles on the existing route via Nakusp to Nelson and the East Kootenay, and a saving of 40 miles over the proposed Sugar lake-Fost- hlll road via Nakusp. The Interests of the lower Arrow lakes, Edgewood and the fertile Inonoaklin valley call for such a road, the resolution declares. A WONDERFUL VALLEY Further bases for the argument cf the meeting for the construction of the road, was the statement of Hon. William Atkinson, minister of agriculture, when at a meeting ln Edgewood on June 1 he declared that the Inonoaklin valley was one of the best valleys of its slue In the province and the valley, together with the agricultural land at Needles Pauquler and Burton, formed a very important farming district: but that the road was required to the markets of Trail, Rossland atnd Nelson, and that he would do all In his power to support the movement. In this respect the Road South association will ask the support ot Ut, Atkinson. The demand, for summer and camp sites along the Arrow lakes also necessitates a road and It would give the residents of tin above centers, summer homes, bat*. ing, boating and fishing on M) Whatshan lakes. Flourishing settlements ot ! and Deer Park which are without direct road communication wouii be connected wtth Kootenay Okanagan points by this road. The resolution passed the Augur 6 meeting and which enumerate the mentioned advantages of tbi route 'n tbe above lines, wliijj sent to Premier Tolmie, Hon.
