Aug. 20.\u2014Tho third reading of tho Canadian Northern bill will\nbe carried Thursday after the closure\nrule. Notico to this effect was given\nby Sir Thomas Whilo tonight in a debate on an amendment to tho motion\nfor third reading moved by Hon. William Pugsley. The amendment was\none providing that award of the board\nof arbitration that will fix thc value\nof the Canadian Northern railway\nstock to be purchased by the government must not be accepted until approved by parliament. Whon thc adjournment of the debate was moved\nby E. M. Macdonald, Sir Thomas\nWhite gave formal notice of closure\ntomorrow, staling that tho debate had\nalready been in progress for two\nweeks and it was necessary that Ihe\nbill should be disposed of. Ho added\nHint with the consent of the house, the\nleader of the opposition. If be desired\nto speak, would nol be confined to tho\ntime limit of -'0 minutes.\nCooperative Management Proposed\nDuring thc course of the debato Sir\nRobert Borden made an import ant\nspeech outlying the probable policy of\nthe government in regard to railways\nin the future. He said thnt when tho\ngovernmont acquired tho Canadian\nNorthern railway uh far as ho was\nconcerned ho would devote his best\nenergies lo making the operation of\nthe road as efficient as any road In\nCanada. He regarded it as Impossible\nfor any department of the government\nto undertake the management of a\ngreat, rnllway system. However, this\nwas a matter for the next parliament\nlo solve. He believed it was necessary\nfor the railways and the government\nlo get, together In the immediate future and deal with tho possibility ol\"\nhaving a system of cooperative management of all the railways of Carta-\nada. The Dominion had nearly 40,-\n000 miles of railway. He did not protend that this was too much, but tho\nmileage was not properly distributed.\nCannda should have less transcontinental lines. Without cooperation In\nmanagement, there would continue to\nbo unnecessary and absurd duplication\nof lines.\nSir Robert went on to say that iif\n.studying this measure it had been\nborne upon him that the acquisition\nof the Canadian Northern railway by\nthe Canadian Pacific railway would\nresult In the saving by thc Canadian\nPacific raltway of $100,000,000 in construction. He thought that by cooperative management, this sum could be\nsaved to the country. Hlr'Robprt said\nthat he had gone Into this question\nwith a number of railway experts and\nthey believed that such n system could\nbe carried out. It would produce two\nImportant results; it would save enormously In capital expenditure and\nwould reduce operating expenditures.\nPugsley Regrets Causing Scene\nMr. Pugsley in moving his amendment disclaimed any Intciltlnn on the\npart of the opposition to prolong (he\ndebate ou this bill more lhan wns necessary. He thought that thc government had been llladvlsed In resorting\nto the closure.\n\"Some regrettable scenes ocoured\nand I am sorry for them,\" remarked\ntho member for St. John, amid laughter. Tho governmont, he thought,\nWould get along better with this and\nother legii-latlon \u25a0 wore it to display\n(pore regard for the members of tho\nhouse. Closure had been Invoked on\nly 13 days after consideration of the\nbill was taken n[j in committee, al\nthough ln the meantime other business\nhad been disposed of. He presumed\nthat the third reading had been moved\ntonight In order that the government\nmight gi\\'e notico of closure on tlie\nthird reading. Such a step, he said,\nwould be llladvlsed, because it would\ncreate thc Impression that the governmont wants to force the bill\nthrough without giving the house ample chance to discuss it. Dealing with\ntlio merits of his amendment, Mr.\nPugsley said that the Canadian Northern railway and other owners of thc\nstock would present the most favor\nable statement to the- arbitrators. Tho\nBank of Commerce and othor pledgees\nwould tell the arbitrators that they\nmust consider tho commercial value\nof the slock as enhanced by tho purchase of thc road by the government.\nMacdonald Opposes H.

This met with\nlaughter and \"hear, hoar\" from thc\nConservative side. Mr. Macdonald said\nthat money taken for war purposes\nwas being used Tor unnecessary public works.\nHon.

The preyious,maximun*i production waa $145,634,'8i2 in 1913, says a\n'preliminary report from Ottawa., .\n| The war has had a mpst pronounced\neffect not only In stimulating the production of these metals such as nickel,\ncopper and zinc, iron and steel, mplyb-\ndenum, etc., which are used so extensively for war purposes, but also in Increasing the production of other products, such as chromlte and maghesite,\n,which can only now be obtained with\ndifficulty If at all from sources previously available. The general Industrial activity In metallurgical operations and In the manufacture generally\nof munitions of all kinds, Including the\nfreight movements required, have in\nturn increased the demand for fuel\nwhich has been met in western Canada at least by' large Increases in coal\nproduction.\nInereasCTl production In quantity has\nin most instances been accompanied\nby large increases in prices, thus further Increasing the total value of the\nproduction.\nConsiderable progress has been made\nduring the year In establishing and Increasing smelting and refining capacities of which the installation of electrolytic zinc and copper refineries at\nTrail and the beginning of construction of a nickel refinery at Port Colborne, Ont., are conspicuous examples.\nIn addition, mention should be made\nof the production of metallic magnesium at Shnwlnlgan Kails, of fcrro-\nmolybdonum at orlllin and Belleville,\nof metallic arsenic at Thorold. and of\nstelllte, tbe cobalt alloy for high speed\ntool metal, at Peloro, and of the increased capacity for the production of\nsi el particularly the Installation of\nelectric furnaces.\nThe mining output has been restricted and the efficiency of its operation\nconsiderably reduced by the withdrawal for war service of such a large proportion of the more highly experienced\nlabor and engineering supervision.\nHigher costs havo tended to offset the\nadvantages to be derived from higher\nprices of output and In the case of\ngold mining have been a distinct burden.\nThe mining and metallurgical industries Include a great variety of products so that In dealing with the Industry as a whole the total value presents\nthu only means of comparison, nevertheless quantities of production and\nprices nre at all times the\" Items of essential importance.\nit will be noted that there has been\nan increased production of nearly all\nmetals wilh the exception of lead and\nsliver.

He has throughout taken\nfye view that personal considerations\ncounted for nothing against the paramount end of throwing the maximum\nof Canada's resources into the pursuit\n\u25a0of entente victory. With Sir Robert\nBorden war policy alone has counted.\nSInglemindedly (levoted to the vigorous conduct of the war no obstacle, no\ndifficulty\u2014and there have been great\nobstacles nnd great difficulties to overcome\u2014hns caused him to depart from\nhis policy.\nThe Liberal-Conservative members\nof the house refused lo accept Sir\nRobert's proposal. Recognizing the\nspirit of patriotism in which it was\nmade, they recognized also in the\nprime minister the country's foremost\nWar leader. He possesses unexcelled\nknowledge of the needs of the*\" situation In Europe. He cannot be swayed\nfrom his determination to carry out\nthe policy, of throwing he maximum\nof Canada's strength into the prosecution of the war. They appreciate Sir\nRobert's gift for unassuming but effective leadership. They know that\nhis policy is supported by the wholehearted wln-the-war people of tbe\ncountry.\nThe offer was magnanimous, but\nthe loss of Kir Robert ns prime minister could not be made up by tho\nInclusion In the cabinet of any one\nwho mnde Horden's retirement a. condition of union. The entente cause\ncannot affonl to lose Sir Robert Horden's leadership in*, Canada during the\nwar.\nWILL THE QERMAN NAVY RISK\nBATTLEr\nVice-Admiral Tudor of the British\nliavy thinks It probable that the German navy will risk everything on one\nbig battle before the war ends. There\nare many naval men who think with\nhim. Some, attempting to look at the\nmatter from the viewpoint of lhe fier-\nman government, ruther than tbe\nGerman naval chiefs, take the opposite\nview.\nIf Germany could crush the British\nnavy it would win the war. That Is\naxiomatic. German naval men, --specially If they desired io test some new-\narmament which they may have invented, would undoubtedly be willing\nt.o risk their whole fleet in a forlorn\nhope attack un Admiral Beatty's\nleviathans. They argue also that If\nGermany loses its major naval ships It\n1m only losing something which would\nbe scrap Iron in a year or two. anyway, because of the rapidity with\nwhich wnr vessels become obsolete.\nBut the German government may\nlook at the matter from a different\nangle. It knows that tbe chances of\ncrushing the Hrltlsh navy are virtually, nil. It knows that the chances\nof the destruction of tbe German navy\nare excellent, if it risks an engagement. And il looks to pence negotiations, nl which the possession of a\nnavy might prove of considerable\nvalue. It. would at least be an object\n6? harter.\nPUTTING THE WAR ABOVE\nPARTY CONSIDERATIONS\nIn the resolution passed In caucus\nyesterday the Conservative members\nof the house of commons have put\nthemselves on record as standing for\na union of members of all parties who\nnre united on the ipsue of maintaining\nvigorous prosecution of the war.\n- \"We endorse the earnest and patient\neffort*, of the prime minister tn bring\nabout'a union of all tho wnr forces\nof Canada and to give to this Dotnln\nlon In these .days .of ever-Increasing\nstress, suffering and peril, the adyi\ntage of an administration which would\ntypify that union and spenk lo the\nitforld or the unswerving resolution of\nour people to sec this wnr through to\nvictory\" says the resolution.\nThis is a declaration of policy In\nwhich the win-the-war people of all\nparties will agree. It places the war\nabove party considerations.\ntlon of the nobility of tho motives that\ninspired the pope in setting forth the\nproposals to return to the status quo\nantej bellum, and. then proceeds to\nprove that the course suggested could\nnot make for tho permanent and en\nduring peace which his holiness de\nsires.\nThere Is one point in the Wilson\nnote upon which ull discussions of\npeace must hinge. The entente will\nnot make peace with a German government whose motives it cannot trust\nand which prides itself upon breaking\nits engagements whenever it seems\nthat an advantage is to lie gained by\nsuch a course.\nA peace with the present Germnn\ngovernment wilt be another Peace of\nAmiens. It would simply prove an\narmistice which would permit German yin the twentieth century to reorganize its forces for another wnr,\nas did Napoleon In the nineteenth century.\nIf lhat Russian bear would only\nwalk like a man.\nGeneral Cadorna by bis victories on\nthe Isonzo Is showing how peace is to\nbe won.\nAnticonscriplionistK could hope for\nno greater victory at this lime than\nthe retirement of Sir Robert Horden.\nIt is evident that tbe Quebec talkers\nof revolt arc stronger in noise than In\nnumbers.\nGermany hns committed most of the\ncrimes in the calendar and is now trying to \"get away wilb them\" by negotiating out ot the war before Its armies have been crushed.\nTlie labor men of Canada nre not\ngoing to desert their fellow labor men\nat tbe front or deprive them of necessary supplies by agreeing to any general strike, as a protest against conscription.\nIf Canada ceased to send men to the\nfront It would degrade itself Into the\nIgnoble position of a neutral which\ngrasped all the money it could make\nout of the entente cause in payment\nfor supplies but refused to offer any\nsacrifices to make secure the liberty\nIt enjoyy.\n.lohn M. Godfrey, the Ontario Liberal and head of the win-the-war movement in that province, agrees that union government must be under Sir\nRobert Horden's leadership and believes that it may still be accomplished, line thing certain is that the\nprime minister will not under any circumstances depart from bis wnr policy.\nI WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING |\nHas Grave Doubts\nAccording to Hon. A. U Taschereau,\nSir Wilfrid Laurier Is thc one man\nwho can \"save\" Canada. We are confident that he will save the slackers\nall right, hut beyond Hint there are\nvery grave doubts as to his \"saving\"\n\nNobody who visits parliament In\nthese strenuous days can fail to be\nimpressed by the patient strength\ncontinually displayed by the prime\nminister in the presen of unprecedented burdens and anxieties. If the\nhouse is irritable to the point of bad\ntemper he preserves'nn unruffled exterior. He is wonderfully good humored in spite or the terrible strain\nplaced upon htm by the war and ttie\nchaotic political situation. In tho\nmidst of all the:'turmoil be prcserves-v\nhis buoyant smile, a smile born of a\ndeep consciousness that he has done\nhis ditty in staking his own fate and\nthat of his government on the adequate support of the Canadians nt the\nfront. No other man ln the house approaches him in the firm grasp of all\nthe issues which come before parliament; He is always ready to speak\nthe last word in any debate and to go\nto the aid of colleagues or private\nfollowers who happen to be in need\nof assistance.\nHis deep knowledge of tbe allies'\nwar problems is not approached by\nlhat of any other man in Canada. He\nhas been in closo consultation with\ntho Canadians on the firing lino and\nbrought home their Impressive appeal for reinforcements. Ho has sat\nfor weeks in the imperial war cabinet\nwith Lloyd George and the few other\nHrltish ministers entrusted with the\nsecrets of the allied governments.\nThose who suggest any other leader\nfor a union government at this time\nare recklessly prepared to throw away\nthe enormous advantage of all his special knowledge and experience. War\nLiberals who are concerned with the\none imperative obligation now facing\nthe country-should rebuke the Toronto Star ami sueh other opposition organs as are endeavoring to destroy tho\nprime minister at the very moment\nwhen bis services are indispensable.\nNowhere has bis patient determination been more clearly shown than In\nthe long drawn out negotiations with\ntbe war Liberals on behalf of the Canadians on the firing line. Disappointments do not discourage him. He\nIs not turned aside from his declared\npurpose by tbe weakness of loading\noppositionists, who lack the last ounce\nof resolution. If Mr. Rowell will go\ninto the trenches, but not over tbe top.\nthe first minister turns to others. If\nmachine made conventions do not\nmeasure up to the gravity of tbe crisis, he waits for the inevitable reaction\nin public opinion, lie trusts the people. Having pledged the country to\nthe adequate support of the army, he\nstrives for such a strong national gov-\nernment as will place the great majority, of both parties behind the conscription act. Ho has no other thought\nlhan that of saving the Dominion from\ndishonor in tbe terrible period just\nahead. At such a timo so sterling a\nstatesman Is in a position to demand\ntho unqualified backing of every Canadian patriot.\u2014Toronto Nows.\nA NEW EMANCIPATION\n-*\u2666\nSidney Low, dealing in the Fortnightly Review with the llritish campaign In Mesopotamia, is inclined to\ngive it a place among iho world shaking events of the war. The expulsion\nof tbe Turks from the old capital of\nthi' caliphs (Bagdad), he says, \"signifies nothing less than the new birth\nof a nation; it implies the emancipation of a people (the Arabs) who once\ncreated great empires, who gave tbe\nlight of religion to Asia, and that of\nlearning and science to Kurope.\"\nAn Arab revival should, he thinks,\nmake rapid progress with the delivery\nof this ancient and virile people from\n\"the crude Tnftitary autocracy that\nusurped the Moslem papacy,\"\nThe Arabs are aiding themselves to\nfulfill .Mr. Low's prophecy, ln Arabia\ntlielr revolts against the Turks seems\nto have already passed beyond the\nstage of possible failure to the point\nwhere it may hecomc of real assistance in aiding the llritish to bring un\nend lo tyranny and misrule in 1'ules-\ntine.\u2014Toronto Globe.\n\u00abg\u00bb_\nA NEW ANTISEPTIC\n~\n<\u2022> *7$\nA striking tribute to tbe new antiseptic, flavlne, was paid by Sir .lohn\nHlund-Sutlon at the court of governors\nof tho Middlesex hospital.

Flavlne can bo\nused for eye treatment, without the\nleast damage being done to the delicate tissue of even a child's eye.

To\nreplace the 1,250,000 h.p, at present\nutilized, therefore, would require 15,-\n000,000 tons of conl per annum, which\nrepresents the labors of 41.000 men.\nAllowing for tlie small amount of labor\nrequired In the water power plans, it\nrepresents a saving oi the human effort of somo 38,000 working men nnd\npermits the employment of 38,000 Canadians In other Industries. Adverse\nconditions would be further emphasized in Canada 'as more than half\nthe coal used would be imported. Again\neviM'y pound of coal used decreases\nour .stock of that valuable fuel and It\nmust be borne in mind that a seam of\ncoal, once mined, can never be replaced.\nOther Conservation.\nTho foregoing figures show thc saving of labor, but there is still another\nImportant conservation effected that\nhas directly to do with tho cost of\nfood and many olher needs of life.\nThough the cost of power has been\nsteadily reduced during past years, the\naverage celling price of hydro-electric\nenergy per horse power year Is about\n\u25a0JlO less than steam, wt-jlle the threatened coal shortage tuny Increase this\ndifference materially.\nAmong other benefits may be mentioned the important electrochemical\nnnd metallurgical centres of Niagara\nKails and Sbawnignn, lhe nltro fixation\nindustry for fertilizers and explosives,\nthe numerous large pulp and paper\nmills now established from coast, to\ncoast ami tbe recent introduction on\na relatively large scale of electric steel\nand Iron furnaces.\u2014L.G.D.\nTiie normal school at Calgary opened with an enrollment of 100 students,\n30 of whom are taking the first class\nteachers\" work and \"0 the second class.\nWarning Will Be Ejected for Benefit\nof Auto'Drivers\u2014Change in School\nSite Protested.\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nROSSL-AND B.

They have begun to dig their\npotatoes. Certainly tho five and a\nhalf acres of allotments in Herbert\npark are a goodly sight'. They are the\noutcome, In the first place, of the per-\nseryernnce ntid hard work of the- association's secretary, Mr. Woods, who\nexplained how it \"nil enme about to it\nrepresentative of the Boston Monitor.\n\"Quite early in the. year,\" be said,\nfew of us got together, and I called a\nmeeting In the parish hall, a committee was formed and 1 was made secretary. The Pembroke urban council\nagreed to let us* the land, and 92 ten\nants were accepted;, paying from 6s. to\n12s. each, according to the sine of the\nplot. Most of those who came forward are township employees, etc,\nand preference was given to those\nwhom the gardens would most benefit. One of us, in fact, was very nearly\nrefused, only u friend spoke for liiiti.\nThey said he owned his house; so he\ndoes; but he is not really as well off\nas some of the others, because lie\n\\yorks In an office and has had no rise\nin his salary, as some of them have,\nand the cost of living has naturally\ngone up for him an well as the others.\nWell, after that a few friends agreed\nto lend me money to buy Heedi-*, fertilizers and implements. We hnd \u00a350\nlent in this way and now all except\nEiHias been paid back and the rest is\ncoming In.\n\"Then J approached the department\nof agriculture and technical Instruction, and all sorts of difficulties came\nin tho way. I did not understand their\ntechnical methods and they wanted to\ntie us up In yards and yards of red\ntape. I suppose they wanted to see If\nwe were in earnest. Well; 1 broke the\ntape,\" he continued, laughing, \"and at\nlast they said go and choose your own\ninstructor, and we will pay him. We\ngot a first rate man, who has,been n\ngardener all his life and lives In the\nneighborhood. I told him to go ahead\nand buy all the seeds required for the\nplots. He Is gardener to Col, Kelly,\nand I went to Mrs. Kelly who became\nInterested in the plans and agreed to\ngrow all the seeds for us. so we only\nhad to transplant them when they\nWere rendy. The rest of the things\nwe got at wholesale price and we were\nlately given a present of two sprayers,\nby Mr. Dudgeon.\n\"Then we started a system of prizes,\nwhich were presented by people who\nlive around Herbert park. Sir Frederick Moore, curator of the botanic\ngardens, came and judged the plots,\nand the whole thing was a great success. 1 hftd never gardened before, but\nit has been a great satisfaction, and\nmy boy has helped me and learned a\ngreat deal which will always bo useful to him. We have more and better\nvegetables than we ever had before, or\nhad ever thought of consuming, most\nof the plot holders eat their own vegetables, but one man, who lifts only his\nwlj'e and one child at home, tells me\ntrtitl be has sold* .C3 worth of Vegetables.\n\"Yes,\" Mr. Woods said in conclusion,\n\"It has been hard work and the ground\ntook a lot of digging, but now that we\nare beginning to see tbe results,, we\nknow that it has been worth while. We\nhave not had any pilfering, or next to\nnone. Mr. Knowldin, secretary of the\nroyal horticultural society, has been\nvery kind, and will be our judge in the\nnext competition.\"\nCANAbA ASKfiO TO SEND ..\nCteLtfGAfES TO CdNGAfeSS\niSTOCKHOnST^-The : central i com;\nmlttoe of the International socialists\nbureau has i'sshdd the following ns the\nbasis of representation at the coming\nSocialist congress to be held here:\n\u25a0 Allies\u2014United \"States, 20 Kngland,\na'Oj .France.' 20; Russia, 20; Belgium,\n12'; Italyi-'lO^Aush-nlla, t); South Africa, 'fi; Serbia; \u25a0'<\u2022, Canada; 2,and Rumania;'27\n' Neutrals\u2014fiwedeii,* 12; Poland, 10;\nDenmark, 10; Finland, H; Norway, 6;\n\u25a0Switzerland, 4*;' Greece, 4; Argentine,\n4*; Spain, ^'Portugal, 2, and Armenia,.\n- \"Central powers\u2014Germany, 20;;:Aus\u00ab:\ntrta, 20; Hnngitt'sf, 8; Bulgnlia,>4, and.\nTurkey (not given.)\nBankrupt Stock for Sale\nOne 8-ft.

W.\nSaleeby was one of the protagonists In\nthe movement to supply soldiers with\nmodern equivalents of mediaeval armor and tbe particular form of helmet worn by the Hrltlsh Tommy, was\nthe outcome of Dr. Saleeby's suggestions to the military authorities. The\nhelmet now in use was modeled on the\none adopted by the French in 1915,\nwith Important improvements in the\nkind of steel used. It Is manganese\nsteel, extremelv bard, tough and un-\nspltnteruble, with a low pitch of curvature In the crown for the purpose of\ndeflecting bullets. The weight is properly distributed around the head and\nthe lining is pndded with indiarubber\nto kill the force of a blow.\nOne of tbe most recent improvements of the helmet Is the1 chain visor\nof which hundreds of thousands nre\nnow In use in France. This is a piece\nof steel chain mail which falls over\nthe eyes like a veil as far as the bridge\nof the nose and Is tied on behind. Us\npurpose is to guard the eyes from\nfragments of sand rock or metal\nsplinters striking from below, which\nare tbe cause of nine out of ten cases\nof blindness In the army. In the day\ntime the soldier can see perfectly well\nthrough the visor and If necessary half\nof It can he put aside so as to uncover\none eye. The visor does not seem to\nbe very popular with the soldiers nt\nthe present as the chain mall tends to\ncause abrasions of the nose. The men\nnlso think that It interferes with seeing\nIn bnyonet fighting and they have a\nprejudice against it because \"it makes\n(hem look like guys.\" It Is said that\nat the battle of Aryan men wearing a\nvisor went into notion with the helmet\nturned fronl to back and it fs probable\nthut some lost their sight in consequence.\nDr. Saleeby, however, believes that\ncommon sense will overcome the prejudice against the adoption of anything\" that might suggest cowardice\nand In a lecture, he delivered thin weok\nhe spoke of a new shrapnel-proof jacket which had been produced by the\nexperts of the ministry of munitions\nand which although still In the experimental stage, would, he, believed, meet\nall thc requirements for body armor.\nDr. Saleeby said that at presont the\nproblem of protecting the body from\njf-nachlne gttn And rifle bullets appeared to be unsolvable but the problem\nof finding an efficient protection from\nshrapnel and revolver bullets wn\u00ab, lrt\nhis opinion, solved by the shrapncl-\nproof Jacket, which he exhibited und\nTHUR8DA-Y7AUGUST 30, 191?. ffi\nWATER NOTICe, TTgfitt.\nDiversion and tlie.\nTake notice thit$ Mrs. M.! ki.*JP, Webster, whos'c address Is Pru^tVale, 3,C.i\nwill apply for a license \"to take, and \\ok\n8-acre feet of TVfcfer oUt of the South\nFprk of Kejiy eileek, which flow-^nortb\nWesterly and', drains, Info Kelly Creek,\nabout 100 yards west of the N.E. cor- .\nftjr of Lot 267, Frultvale subdivision.\u25a0\n.Tjlje water will be diverted from the '\nstream at a point on Lot 235, about BOOM\nfe>t S. of, the S..W. eorner.of Lot %W\nFruityale subdivision, and will be uac-jl j\nfor Irrigation purposes upon the land'\ndescribed as Lot 255, Fruitvale sub-.\ndivision, frhla nbtlce'^wirti' posted oft.'-\nthe Ifrbund on the' 4th' d*ay of August*,\/ I\n19J7.

There\nis no need for tills shortage, seeing\nthat many of the plants most In demand nre growing wild, only waiting\nfor some one to come and harvest\nthem..\nPeople vhave been encouraged to\ngrow these medicinal plants and of\ncourse, some will repay cultivation. On\nthe other hand there are difficulties In\nthe way of doing this work. The alternative plan is to collect these plants\nand this work is not only remunerative\nbut at the same time It Is health giving and very interesting.\nHerbs, such as digitalis\u2014the foxglove and belladonna\u2014deadly nightshade\u2014are difficult to manage, and\nmust be laid out to dry the dny that\nthey are gathered, or they are useless.\nAs soon as tho herbs have been properly and thoroughly dried they must\nbe kept in airtight boxes. The large\ntins used to pack biscuits in arc suitable or any other airtight receptacle\nwill do. But it. must be airtight. Herbs\nthnt arc dried by the collectors are\nready for the manufacturers and they\nshould be Hent to them as soon as a\nsufficiently large quantity of the plants\narranged for has been obtained.\nIf the herbs are not dried, they must\nbe sent at once lo some dealer who\nIs prepared to undertake the drying.\nNever collect any herbs before the\ndew is off them, and choose dry. sunny\nweather for all leaves and shoots. For\nroot collection the weather Is not Important. These last must be gathered\nIn spring nnd autumn. Care must be\ntaken when lifting roots to see they\nare not broken. Mutilated rools are\nnot required.\nPte. A. E. Bennett Suffering from Injuries in Right Shoulder and\nNeck.\nMrs. A. E.

For many years thc question\nhas heen before the, public. Determined opposition by the church and\nother agencies prevented accomplishment in a moderate measure; tho tide\nof human misery was dammed up;\nand now it is likely to be let loose\nwith a much more radical measure\nthan a decade ago would have sufficed.\nThc joint committee 1ms undertaken\nto obtain passage, of a law permitting\nabsolute divorce in most of these cases\nof hopeless separation. Judicial separation orders are now issued on account of cruelty, desertion, drunkenness\nand many other offenses, but these do\nnot constitute divorce. Commonly thc\nhusband is required to pay maintenance fixed by the court, often in cases\nin which the husband has been grievously wronged, If he doesn't pay he\ncan be and often is locked up. But\nhowever greatly both husband and\nwife may wish it, they cannot be divorced unless there lias been adultery\non the wife's part or adultery and also cruelty on the husband's.\nAlmost a decade ago an effort was\nmade to obtain legislation providing\nthat In cases of legal separation the\ncourt, after five years, should on the\napplication of either party, make decree of absolute divorce. That bill was\nsmothered. The new measure, which\nIs likely to become law before the end\nof the war, is much more liberal. It\npermits the decree to be issued after\nthree years of separation, whether tbe\nseparation was by consent, by court\ndecree or otherwise.\nEven advocates of easier divorce in\nsome cases fear that this measure\nwould make it too easy, but the people who have Investigated do not. They\ndescribe, immoral conditions widely\nexistent because uf the present difficulties of getting divorce. A fearful\nnumber of cases of bigamy arc enumerated. Husband nnd wife legally\nbound to each other yet legally separated forced to lives of celibacy, lose\nall moral standards. The fact that\nthey are commonly poor makes lhe results yet worse,\nIt Is a question largely concerning\nthe poorer people, for at best it costs\nmore to get a divorce than most people can pay. The story has been often\nrepeated of the cynical judge who said\nthe divorce laws of England were perfectly even handed, as between rich\nCHAS. MOORE, C. & M.

The stringency of the\nblockade and tho desire of the entente to put. a stop to the export of\nGermany of any produce into which\nImported raw materials havo entered\ndirectly or even Indirectly has brought\nthe government face to face with this\nnecessity. Owing partly, to the scarcity of tonnage, but also to the lack of\nlabor and railway transport in Germnny, Denmark will not receive suffl\ndent coal. Iron or steel for her Industries. Industrial unemployment Is,\ntherefore. Inevitable, and measures are\nbeing taken to insure tho food supply\nof the population.\nThe feeding of thc population must\nnaturally take precedence, and al\nthough, with a view to the future, efforts will be made to keep the stock\nof cattle and pigs In the country\" as\nhigh as possible, a large number of\ntheso animals will have to bo slaughtered.

I I um J\nFRENCH INVENTOR MAS\nNEW FLYING MACHINE\nCannot Be Upset by Squalls or Explosions\u2014Always Lands Right\nSide Up.\nA new type airplane, differing in\nconstruction and appearance from machines now In use In tha warring\ncountries, has recently been perfected\nin France by Pierre Oclovc Detable, a\nmechanical engineer of Paris, technical\ndirector in the Soclete Qenorale Indus-\ntrielle, who Is In America in connection with the rehabilitation of northern France.\nThe (pew airplane was thus described by Mr. Cole: From the front\ntho Detable machine looks somewhat\nlike tho ordinary biplane. The difference lies \"-in the shape and construction of the two rear wings, or\npoches, as the inventor calls them.\n, These, poches, which are parallel,\nextend at right angles from thc forward frame of the machine. They aro\nttomlconlcnl In shape, varying In\nlength with the slse of the machine,\nand arc joined together by a frame\nconnecting with the front part of the\nmachine. At the roar ond of each\npoche Is a small steering rudder, while\nthe engines, pilot's seat and other adjuncts aro placed on thc forward part\nof the machine.\nDemonstrated by Model.\nMr. Cole had several small cardboard\nmodels with which he demonstrated\nthe stability of the new mnchlne. No\nmatter how they wore'launched into\ntho air they always came down right\nside up, making a graceful sweep before alighting, . Tho \"machine, according to Mr, ('cle, does nol depend nlone\nHpo), the form of (ts suits for Ms sltt-\nblllty, which seems to be automatic.\nThc exact principle of the machine Is\nnot known, even to the inventor.\nThat it never loses Us equilibrium\npresumably Is due to the concinl shape\nof its poches. When the machine dips\nto one side the air pressure becomes\ngreater on the poche on the dipping\nside, nnd correspondingly less on the\nother, thus causing the machine to\nright itself immediately. Mr. Cole,\nwho has seen Detable mnke many tests\nwith his machines, said thnt neither\npower nor speed Is necessary to maintain its equilibrium.\n\"I Have seen standard engines used\nin this machine,\" said Mr. Cole, \"and\nIt performs marvels. It can do more\nstunts thnn any mnchlne 1 hnve ever\nseen. It can be held almost lo a standstill white In thc air und its operation Is practically automatic. No matter how It is headed to earth it always lights right side up without the\naid of thc pilot.\n\"His part, instead of being tho most\nImportant, ns In ail the present systems, Is quite secondary and even\nthough he should fail to control his\nmachine, no accident would follow.\nFor this reason the pilot may be much\nfreer fn his movements, He can bo\nboth pilot aud observer at the same\ntime without giving thought to tho\nbalance of the machine.\nLIEUT.-COL.

Mayes,\ndirector of the Canadian army gymnastic staff, who haH been active in\npromoting greater use of remedial\ngymnastics overseas, while in Canada\nin connection with the work of his\ndepartment paid a visit to Hart House\nat the University of Toronto, where\nDr. Bott's activities have been centered. Before leaving for England he\nsaid that he was greatly impressed\nwith the competency and enthusiasm\nof the teachers at Hart House.\n\"It has been estimated that from 50\nto 60 per cent of returned soldiers, or\ncasualties, require some form of\nphysical re-education. I havo observed what is being done in Englnnd and\nCanada and I am convinced that Dr.\nBott.and his staff are working on\nright lines.
