Logan will speak at a public meeting in the Ward V. Conservative room this (Friday) evening at 8 o'clock. The splendid record which the ' congregation of Mount Pleasant Presbyterian has attained in the matter of service to the Empire in her hour of need was fittingly emphasized last Sunday night in the unveiling of the second honor roll at the church, Mayor McBeath officiating. Eloquent addresses in appreciation to the response to the call of empire on the part of the men who had enlisted and in which the righteousness of the cause of the allies was urged were made by the mayor and Rev. A. E. Mitchell, the pastor. JThe .honor roll contains seventy- nine names, which, added to the eighty-one names on the first honor roll, swells the number ' enlisted from the congregation up to 160. The church was crowded for the ceremony^ ** _ Effect of War on Empire Speaking with reference to .the war, Mr. Mitchell said that [\\ >.it had given to , the Empire a new unity, a new patriotism, a new seriousness. The speaker said that he hoped the war would bring a new faith and a new peace. The men who had gone to the front were willing to suffer, and willing to die, if needs be. The challenge to those behind was to live unselfish lives and to be soldiers of Jesus Christ in the pulling down of things that were wrong ahd in putting up of things that were right. We were all hoping and praying for the end of the war and the sooner': it ended in a new and lasting-peace,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe-better.--What good came out of this awful war must be lasting. In talking of such a peace we mentioned the abolition of militarism and the putting aside of dreadnoughts. But this would not secure a lasting peace. The only way we could . secure a lasting peace would be by having our conception of God christianized. In this war God had too often been called upon as the Lord of Hosts, the God of Battle, the Captain of the Mighty and not as lie had been revealed in the New Testament, as Jesus Christ, the God and Father of us all. All Children of God In the second place we needed to Christianize our conception of nationality. When we came to the fuller teaching of Christ we found that there was neither Jew nor Gentile, but we were all children of God. Every nation ought to be a servant of Christ and should not desire to be in itself a power to rule the world. Men must be right with God ahd stand right with each other before there will be a lasting peace. In introducing Mayor McBeath, the pastor paid him a tribute in saying that as chief niagisrate he showed that he was going to make it as hard as possible for the citizens of Vancouver to do wrong and as easy as possible for them to do right; A Sacred Occasion The mayor said that an occasion such as the one at which he was officiating was a solemn and sacred one, and one that brought pride in every true British heart. We had assembled to do honor to the brave lads who were making sacrifices in the name of the Empire. It was gratifying to know that the congregation of the Mount Pleasant Presbyterian church had not been behind that of other churches in doing its duty to king and country. Out of. the 160 enlisted three had made the supreme sacrifice. The names inscribed on the honor roll were: J. Anderson, J. Beck, D. Boy- es, J. Boyes, A. A. Bacon, H. E. Bacon, W. H. Bacon, D. Bain, F. R. Baxter, M. Britton, W. Brown, R. Burnett, W. Burnett, J. Cameron, B. C. Craig, B. Cowan, D. Duquid, A.- Dundas, G. E. Donley, W. Eason, A. M. Farquhar, Mr. Gerrard, A. R. Godwin, J.

Pearson have been killed. A popular lecture on \"Ireland\" was given by the Rev. A. E. Cooke in Robertson Presbyterian church, Grandview, on Tuesday evening, Dr. J. W. Mc^ Intosh presiding. The lecture, which was brimful of interest and entertainment, was delivered in racy fashion and was listened to with marked appreciation by a large audience which completely filled the church. Selections of Irish songs made a delightful setting, and were rendered by Mrs. H. H. Roberts, Miss Greta Harvie and Miss Jen ny Melville\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMrs. Logie giving instrumental selections and also acting as accompaniment. There are no fires to report in the district for the past week, a state of affairs which is considered most fortunate by the department. On Good Friday evening at 8.15 the choir of St. Michael's church, augmented. to sixty voices, will render Stainer's ^Crucifixion\" and the \"Gallia\" by Gounod. There will be special services Good Friday- at 11 a.m., and on Easter Sunday there will be communion at 8 a.m. and special Easter services at 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. with a special children's service at 3 in the afternoon: SOUTH VANCOUVER At N the regular- meeting of Ward 1 ratepayers' association tonight, Reeve Winram will deliver an address on the work of. the council during the year. He will deal particularly with the financial position, and how one by one the troubles are being overcome. Councillor Lowe, the representative for the ward, will also give an account of his stewardship since taking office. The meeting^ will be held in the Carleton school, Collingwood, at 8 o'clock. The Rainbow Cirde of the King's Daughters held their annual business meeting and election of officers today at the home of Mrs. Hutchings, 322 8th ave. east. During Lent a series of children 's services have been held in St. Michael's church, with lantern views. These services, under the direction of Rev. Christopher Lord, have been very largely attended. Alexandra Review No. 7, Woman's Benefit Asociation of the Macabees, met in the Knights of Pythias Hall on Wednesday evening; Lady Commander Wilson was in the chair. One new member was accepted. The ladies decided to hold a \"Fancy Fair\" on Wednesday, April 26th, in the same hall. On Wednesday evening last many friends and acquaintances Mr. W. McF. McGregor, of 21st avenue and Willow street, met at his home at a farewell reception to him and to his associates who have enlisted for the front. The kiltie pipers were in atend- ance, as well as several members of the 72nd and 158th battalions and a most enjoyable musical evening was spent. Mr. McGregor is attached to the engineers at North Vancouver. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FAVORED FOR HOLIDAY At the meeting of the Retail Merchants' Association held yesterday afternoon in the Board of Trade rooms there was a diversity of opinion as to the day to be set aside for the! half-holiday. A motion and several amendments were proposed during the discussion which was continued for nearly two hours, the original motion in favor of the closing of the stores on Wednesday afternoons being ultimately carried by a vote of 64 to 47. President F. W. Welsh, ia opening the proceedings, stated that the Premier of the province had given notice that at this session of the House he would introduce a bill for a compulsory weekly half-holiday for-clerks, and, he said, they had a definite promise both from the Premier and the Liberal leader that this would be treated as a non-contentious measure. Tbey -recognized that a. comiroWry weekly half-holiday for clerks without a compulsory closing of the shops would work a hardship on the merchants, and they felt that the best way out of the situation was for the government to introduce a bill for tbe compulsory closing of all stores. There was also, be said, the question as to whether any exemptions should be made, and as to what would be the most suitable day, and he invited the members to express an opinion upon these subjects in order that their views could be brought before the Premier. The school trustees have decided that the Easter vacation shall extend from April 21 to the end of the month. \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd A strong committee has been formed among the teachers of the various schools for the purpose of holding school sports during the coming season. Yesterday morning Mr. J. J. Powell, superintendent of the Sunday School of the Sanford Methodist church, and his wife and family left Vancouver for Manitoba. A farewell banquet was given in their honor last week in the church, when Mr. Powell was presented with an address and a beautifully bound copy of Shakespeare's works. Besides being superintendent of the Sunday school, a position which he held since the church was opened four years ago, Mr. Powell was an active worker in all the other agencies of the church. Intimation was made to the school board this week that Miss D. Fleischman, assistant at the Walter Moberly school, would retire from the service of the board at the end of April. Under the direction of Relief Officer Pleming, the land at the side of the municipal hall has been ploughed and was seeded with potatoes. The crop will be used by the inspector in relief of the poor next winter. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd=\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd} At the Brittania school last night an illustrated lecture on \"Shakespeare, The Man,\" was given with fifty lantern views, and interspersed with musical and dramatic selections. There is some talk of the amalgamation of the orders of Beavers and Lions, and a final conference will be held tomorrow evening in the city, at .which the heads of both orders will be present to decide on the necessary steps to take in this connection. Councillor Pollock yesterday investigated the telephone arrangements in the municipal hall with a view to having the monthly bill reduced. He considers that when everyone is trying to economize the staff should be able to manage its work with a smaller number of telephones and will recommend that 14 telephones be removed from the hall. The cadets in South Vancouver schools are enthusiastic in their work and may be seen drilling early and late on their school grounds. Those not able to take cadet work are devoting their energies to extensive school gardening under the instruction of their principals, and the grounds systematically laid out, tilled and planted by the scholars give promise of good things. Gramciview At All Saints Church next Sunday morning there will be litany and holy communion instead of the regular Lenten services. In the evening the Lord Bishop of Columbia will hold a confirmation service at 7.30. The first four days of next week there will be.shortened morning prayer and anti-communion service at 10 a.m. On Good Friday services are at 10 a.m. and 5 p. m. Miss Eva Nieteel entertained a number of her young friends very pleasantly at her home, corner of Kitchener and Woodland Drive, on Monday evening. A very enjoyable time was spent by those present. Mr. Geo. Cran gave a few piano selections in finished style. An amusing contest was won by Miss Mae Addison and Mr. John Dawson. Among those present were Mrs. Dean Henderson, Mrs. Niet- zel and the Misses Mae Addison, Mildred Hiscoek, Ena Nietzel, Louisa Kelly, Hester Henderson, Alice Scribner, Margaret Scrib- ner, Juanita Nietzel, Etta Nietzel, Gertrude McLean, and the Messrs. Wm. Urquhart, C. Kil- bank, H. Cook, William Cook, Edward Buekston, P. Edwards, G Cran, R. Payne, J. Barnes, D. Henderson Crawford Henderson, J. Dawson, R. Evans, H. Dean and Doran Senisfret. A public meeting has been called for tonight in the Muni cipal hall by Coun. James for the purpose of discussing the proposal to organize a horticultural society.' The parks committee-will'--also- -4>e\"ppesjent \"and Relief Officer Pleming will bring fonyard a proposal for planting with potatoes the school grounds which last year were given out to the ratepayers for gardens. A meeting of the Ward V. ratepayers will also be held at the same time, at which Coun. James will deliver an address. The extent of a surface a given quantity of paint will cover depends on the pigment and the oil. Volume for volume, the paint made from white lead is heavier than a similar paint made with zinc white. Paint will Spread farther \"an lar hard;\" non- porous surface than on one that is soft and open. And there are degrees of both in the surfaces we have to paint. In a general way it may be said that the first coat of. ,.bare wood will require twice as much paint as will be required on the second or third coat. \"Little beds of flowers, Little drops of paint, Make a pleasant cottage Out of one that aint.\" Preparations are being mada by the committee in charge of the canvass for subscriptions for the Canadian Patriotic Fund, which will be held on Saturday. The municipality has been divided into districts, and a captain will be appointed for each. A large number of ladies and gentlemen willing to help in the canvass have already, handed their names to the secretary. Mr. J. B. Springford, at the municipal hall, but many more are still asked for. A public meeting is to be held this evening in the municipal hall, to whieh all those who in any way intend to assist are invited. The house-to-house canvassers will be appointed to their respective districts and the collectors for the tagging will be given their positions. Mr. Fitzjohn having enlisted for active service, Janitor Jones has been transferred to Carleton School in his place, and Mr. T. Hill to Champlain school. Mr. R.

The price of admission is 25 cents. \"Our fathers are on the fighting line, we are going to do our bit.\" Come and see what the soldiers' kiddies can do. The Red Cross workers of the CentraTPaf k ~ Women s Institute had a delightful little meeting on Saturday afternoon at their new rooms, 379 .loyce Road, Collingwood East. Several ladies called to return the work they had completed, remaining for a pleasant half-hour and partaking of tea, which is served every Saturday afternoon until five o'clock. The tables were looking particularly inviting with their vases of daffodils .and violets, and with the return of better weather these busy workers are looking forward to a welcome\" increase in their numbers, as each lady, far or near, realizes her responsibility in helping to provide for the boys at the front. It is not only members of the institute, but all who can help in any way, whether by donations, gift of cake, etc., for these teas, or by sewing and knitting, who are cordially invited. Mrs. H. C. Woods, Mrs. Mc- Geer and friends formed a deputation to the school board this week advocating the claims of the \"Parent-Teacher Asociation now being formed. After hearing the aims of the association from Mrs. Woods, the board assured the deputation of its sympathy and desire to help as the scheme develops. < THE WESTERN GALL a. Friday, April 14, 1916. Miss Madeline Doty, in the current issue of Good Housekeeping, calls attention to the inefficiency of juvenile reform iusti- . tutions in caring for the boys and girls who come under their jurisdiction. It has happened hiindreds and thousands of times, says Miss Doty, that the love and care of strangers has kept a child in the right path, physically and morally, has given it courage to stifle the longing for its own mother, which never dies, and has brought the child to maturity well equipped for facing life and possessed of a keen and overwhelming ' sense of gratitude towards those who took pity on their poor estate. This ability to recognize the great void which is past all repair and to recognize the beautiful substitute which has been given is, in itself, a great factor in character making. It is one of the laws of life that because one craves the unattainable it does not follow, at all that one must have the unattainable. But it does follows that one must be grateful for unearned help. Miss Doty gives examples from men who have been imprisoned, not once but many times, and who began life at an early age in reform schools or home for for foundlings. Without exception these men look back with horror to the time when, six, seven, eleven years of. age they were already within the grasp of the institution. Whether the thing is true or not, the impression in each case is that life was simply a rotation of deprivations and brutal punishments with a total lack of anything approaching to common kindness. The Rule of Silence One rule which seems universal is that children shall not even whisper in the dining room. There is no doubt at all that this is a pretty general rule. No doubt the idea is that mischief cannot be hatched if no one speaks. There will certainly be no bad language used, out loud! If this rule were not condemned for its cruelty it should be abolished for its silliness. That school which prohibits whispering also has a long list of penalties for whispering, which shows that prohibition does not prohibit. It is also a fine garden for all kinds of deceit and a hot-bed for the teaching of disloyalty. Note-writing, the worst evil that can take root in a school room, is the first crop sign language, Buy Vancouver Real Estate at these Prices =NEVER AGAIN= SUCH SACRIFICES JbOTS Fourth Avenue Carline\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd33 feet near Trutcb St., formerly held at $4,500, for $1,600, on terms.

If insteacf of constantly directing the children's attention to things they may not do they are given numberless pleasant and profitable tasks there will be no desire to whisper. To prohibit talking during meal times is a simple confession of inability to deal with what need not be an evil and might be one of the greatest helps to those responsible for discipline. Of all times of the day, meal time should be the most joyous. It will not be boisterous and noisy if there is a feeling on the part of the children that they are welcome and well liked even if not beloved. A few years ago a young man went to a western city to begin life as a teacher. Because of the death of his father this young man had entered an orphan asylum ahd continued to live there until permitted to leave and support himself. He managed to put himself, through college and was a fine specimen of manhood, morally and physically. Like a Caged Animal And yet, to his dying day he will never be rid of the feeling of repression, of unreasonable exclusion from everything natural and pleasant that belongs to his life in the asylum. Twelve hundred boys in the dining room at every meal, entering lock-step and not allowed to speak a word! It was no wonder that this young man was like a caged animal made free, during his first year of teaching* Boarding house life, the slight taste of social joys which came to him, even the experience of sending out his laundry were keen pleasures! He said: \"Every experience of my life this year, even to the food on the table, is something I never experienced before!\" And his happy face made a sad commentary on what the other years niust have been. This young man had something in his make-up that kept him hopeful and eager and obedient. His mother and sisters were in the same city: He no doubt had always the feeling of thankfulness that the poverty and suffering which threatened' had been averted. But for this one fortunate case how many heartbreaking cases are there of children who have no parents and friends. And worst of all is that of the child who has no name, no known mother! No one can fathom the anguish of such an onec and there can be no greater cruelty than refusing to tell such a child all that is known when it implores to be told. _ _\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd _ Mother Love Necessary It is a mistake to suppose that boys are stolid and do not grieve for their mother. Even into manhood they still cry out for this love. Their anguish is so deep and so hopeless and passes through so many stages from vain remonstrance, through helpless rebellion and finally, in many cases, into bitter resentment and a feeling of enmity towards all. No one stops to wonder why the boy is \"unreasonable.\" Is he unreasonable? He is only helpless. There is no doubt at all that the time will come when these institutions will be managed as carefully as the finest homes. Matrons and attendants will be chosen for their womanly qualities and not be asked to combine mother's work with that of business executive and disciplinarian. Others will be given these tasks and the motherless child will be treated as a tender plant needing special care\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdlove and sympathy and firm but kindly guidance!* GREAT BRITAIN AFTER THE WAR I The legs of cast-off stockings, split and herringboned, represent house flannel; ravellings from new house linen \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdequal flourishing thread for darning 'the old; superannuated sheets and towels alord material for dusters and cloths; and damask table covers may be cut down into tray cloths, serviettes, doilies and carving slips. ' T iif too early to begin to consider our economic position after the war. The main outlines of the problem are already fairly clear. In the first place, as compared with the pre-war period, we shall suffer from the following disadvantages: We shall have lost by death, wounds and disease the services of a considerable number of our best men. We shall be poorer. A great deal of capital will have been destroyed. We shall have sold the best of our foreign securities, and our national plant will be to some extent impaired and depreciated. ' Wbat to Expect Our financial machinery will be out of order. We shall be suffering from inflation, and our financial institutions will be more* or less tied up. There will be less capital for the advancement of industry, and capital, being scarce will be dear. Interest rates for long loans will be high. High interest eats away profits quickly and acts as a heavy load on industry. There will be severe internal dislocation. Millions of soldiers will be discharged; millions of munition workers will lose their employment. Nothing to equal such dislocation will ever before have been known. Moreover, we shall be faced with all the difficulties arising from the free dilution of labor, and the employment of women; from promises of the reinstatement of soldiers; from promises by the government of a return to prewar conditions as regards Trade Union restrictions; from cessation of separation allowances and war bonuses. . There will be external dislocation caused by international hatreds, destruction of foreign markets, dislocation of labor and capital in ' other countries, and so forth. Heavy taxation will be a great burden on many sections of the population, especially those with fixed incomes. In England it seems that we must suffer, still from the greatest handicap of all, the continuing struggle between capital and labor, with its ensuing damage not only to both sides, but to the whole community. General Staff for Industry On the other hand, we shall still have all the essentials for the rapid production of wealth, if we know how to use them. (1) Our national plant will be practically undamaged by war, even if it requires repair; (2) Our labor force, through reduced somewhat by death and disease, will be on the whole intact. (3) Our financial machinery, though strained, will also be intact. Therefore, we shall have at our command the chief elements in the production of wealth. Our difficulties will be mainly those caused by dislocation and by the reduction in our supplies of capital. On the first point, something can be done to minimize the effects of dislocation here and abroad and in giving strategic advice to industry by the creation of a department which would act as a sort of General Staff for industry. It would be idle to suppose that in a sphere so vast and complicated as modern industry, any government or semi-government direction can take the place of the expert initiative of countless private individuals. But undoubtedly more could be done by co-operative effort between the government and industry in the way of discovering and supplying markets, estimating demand, and combining the financial and industrial forces of the country, and possibly of the Empire as well. Capital and Labor On the second point\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnamely, the supply of capital\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdall turns upon increased production, coupled with ^conr ~tinWd''econpmy~in the consumption of unnecessary goods. T,he problem, however, is indissolubly linked with that of distribution. There are few who do not recognize the necessity for a more equitable distribution of wealth. Not only, must the standard of living be maintained, it is essential that in the case of the mass of unskilled labor it should be raised. It is right, too, to regard increased production as useless and even harmful, if it is to end ei ther in the idleness and extravagance of a London season, or in drinking and gambling among the working people. There is a vast deal to be done to remedy present conditions. But here, too, we are brought back to the question of production. Unless production is maintained and indeed increased, every specific remedy for bad distribution must infallibly fail. If we could double our national output, it would be vastly more easy to provide all with the essentials of a decent and healthy life. Such a prospect is not a mere chimera. Our present output per head is a miserable result compared to what might be accomplished by the proper co-operation of capital and labor. Let us not imagine that a mathematically equal distribution of wealth is desirable or possible. We must aim at such a condition that every man or woman performing useful services to .the community is assured of such means as to be able to live a proper life. But since material wealth is not the aim of existence and since men were not born equal or with the same wishes and aptitudes, we shall never reach equality of property. But, though equality of wealth can never be reached, matters cannot be left after the war in this country as they are today. We are terribly far away from enabling a great section of our population to live decent and healthy lives.

The capitalist has got to look beyond his own interests to those of the communiy. He has got to learn that the community is vastly more injured by the discontent and poverty and depression of those he employs than it is advantaged by his own* accumulation of wealth. He must put service to the community before a large income. He has got to learn that high wages and high production are vastly better, not only for the wage- earners, but even for himself, than low wages and\" festrictOd^productionT On the other hand, the workingman has got to broaden his vision and work his hardest for the community. Especially has the skilled man to abandon many of his present cherished restrictions, and allow the free employment of men and of machinery in the way best fitted for production. We are today suffering intensely from the cruel laissez-fairy policy of the industrial revolution. The community demands service from all; in return it must see that all those ready and willing to serve can obtain the essentials of a decent life. We shall be faced after the war by demands for retrenchment and economy of all kinds. True economy will, indeed, be essen- ential. But the most fatal kind of economy will be that which would in any way prevent tho growing generation from obtaining the education and the means of livelihood needed to make them decent citizens. We have got to spend more, not less, on education and on training of all kinds. Our power to do this and to take any steps along the road of abolishing poverty is dependent on the productive energy and the wise economy if every one of us.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdFrom the Bound Table.

THE WESTERN CALL \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd5WH 3 DOES GERMANY HOLD THE SECRET OF ORGANIZATION? (From L'Opinion) |\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdi-|-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHE Germailic race has discover- I ed the secret of organization.\" Of all the heresies and nonsense current in Germany concerning 1 history, geograph, ethnography and morals, I have never come across anything more extraordinary than that of Dr. Ostwald. The race, or speaking rather more scientifically, the Germanic nation, inhabited the Teutoberg forests after the manner of a tribe of Sioux Indians when the \"secret of organization\" had, many centuries before, already been discovered by China, Egypt, Assyria, Phoenicia, Persia, Crete, Greece and Rome. If the stamp of organization is the collective form of government which remains to be proved, it must bo proved in some other way than by phrases in contradiction with texts, that the rule of individualism was held in honor in Athens, Sparta, Rome and the Orient. In the Boman Empire Probably no more perfect organization has ever existed than the Roman Empire. More than once have I drawn attention to this significant fact that the invasion of the' barbarians considered by every other nation as disastrous to humanity, is upheld.and glorified in all German schools. Even that was a triumph for morality and the old god. Measure the distance which separates the principles of nations having received these two educations (1) the horror. (2) the admiration of barbarian invasions. That is the seeret of many events, a secret which is important in another sense than the so-called secret of organization. The Holy Roman-Germanic Empire, which, as we know, was neither holy nor Roman, was not inorganic. Its organization , was, in truth, quiio rudi- mentary. This lack of organization has been borrowed from the Roman Empire. 'X Later on, the Reformation, the\" great German religious revolution, led it to political anarchy. Therefore, the Ge.r manic nation had not yet discovered \"the secret of organization.\" Inherited from Borne France had discovered it, or rather she had inherited-it from Rome. The organization of Germany dates from, the wars of the revolution and of the Empire. The actual organization of Germany is Napolionic at base. We remember the time when our administration was the envy of Europe. Most of all was it admitted by Germany. It was on this model that Prussia formed her administration. She passed it on to Germany after the great Bismarkian wars. Since then has it been exaggerated, overdone, deformed by the excessive subordination of the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdindividual to the collective body? I think so. What is this secret that Germany has discovered? What has happened is that our administrative machine has deteriorated whilst that of Germany was being perfected, and this faculty of organization, not lacking in Richelieu, Colbert, Louvsis, the Cohvention or Napoleon, was being developed by Germany with a great deal of method, in industries, commerce, in science even, as well as in civil and military institutions. ' Therein lies the merit of Prussia, of the German Empire of 1871, merit, which in all loyalty, we must admit. A large portion, perhaps the largest, of German strength comes therefrom. This organization, however powerful and intelligent it may be, has its other side. A man, an individual, can never with impunty be made a tool of, or become simply a part of an enormous machine.

I could never bring myself to admire German \" corporatism\" as it can be at times. The Spirit Overlooked. Now, in Hohenzollern Germany everything has been corporalized, industry, finance, science, morals, religion. A science which is changeable and therefore dishonest, at the service of politics. Immoral morality which has * ceased to distinguish between good and evil which, upon demand, glorifies the false telegram of Ems, the violation of Belgian neutrality, the atrocities of the Lusitania. Eeligion which commits all sorts of crimes in the name of the Livinity and fills all religious minds with horror. ' - \"Herded\" nations may win striking victories. They never gain victory. The day will break when, having accomplished one or other of her living, active works, she will fall to pieces. Nothng will remain but scrap iron. Our Latin organizations, less rigid, yield according to the spirit which animates them. The Germany' of the Hohenzollern was able to copy our organizations and .to perfeet part; the spirit was overlooked, disdained. What need is there for a machine to reason? It is worthy of notice that the German National Legend, chosen as such by- Goethe, is the adventure of Dr. Faust, who, smitten by truth, poetry, science, sells his soul to the devil, for the joys of power and fortune. The legend has innumerable variations; the man who sells his ^shadow\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdof what use is a shadow? Freyschutz' black huntsman. ''Do you think that I gave you this eagle for nothing?\" Eevenge of the Spirit This is the bargain which the old Germany of Durer and Luther, of Goe-. the and of Beethoven, of Leibnitz and Kant, made with the House of Hohenzollern. From them she has received power, order, discipline, wealth, luxury; she has drained the deep source of life. Not a poet, not a great artist, not a philosopher. Wagner, Mom- msen, Haeckel, Nietschke himself belong to former generations. Hohenzollern Germany has had eminent men, chemists, physiologists, physicians, historians, achaeologists, scholars of all sorts; all specialists, not one creative or generalizing genius. I even dare to state that even the military art, this Prussian National Industry, has suffered the same diminution. From a Moltke to a Hindenburg or to a Mae- kensen, the descent is manifest. Generals, manufacturers, tradesmen, scholars, men of letters, journalists^ all are functionaries. A comedian is a functionary. They wear the costume and* are docile or servile to fit the role. It was -tfi fulfilment of an order that the manifesto '' Intellectuals'' saw the day. It was dictated as a circular would be. Once again I cannot help admiring German stations, German post offices, German hotels, the Hamburg docks, German barracks. German universities, German schools, German factories, German fabrics, German laboratories, the whole German organization. Alas! it has done us harm enough. But at what price has all this been accomplished? Re-read the \"Intellectuals\" manifesto of the intellectuals. There was not one German to protest against the assassination of Miss Cavell.

CANADA'S FOREIGN CREDIT An unexpected effect of the war has been the satisfactory demonstration of Canada's finan- cfal credit and its establishment upon a firmer basis. Before the war broke out. Canada had been financing her development, especially in the west, by the aid of annual borrowings of some .$300,000,000 from the British investor. The outbreak of hostilities in Europe closed that apparently inexhaustible source of supply and for a time Canada's financial outlook was very gloomy indeed. Nearly twenty months of the war have proved, however, to the surprise and satisfaction of every Canadian, and equally to the surprise and satisfaction of friendly countries that we were stronger then we knew. A record crop sold at war prices, an expanding export trade in food and munitions have helped Canada as nothing else could have done. Economy and a lessened expenditure at home has left us more opening for the sale of. our commodities abroad. In 1913 the exports exceeded $400,000,000 and the imports were considerably over $600,000,^ 000. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd In 1915 exports exceeded $600,000,000 and imports ran about $400,000,000\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda reverse of the situation the year before. This reverse of conditions is nothing short of a miracle. No thinking person could have , believed such a change possible, lrat in one short year it has come about. Canada, an habitual borrower from the mother country, is now actually loaning the home. government money to finance, war orders on this side of the ocean. This loan of ,$50,000,- 000 and the promise of a further one of $75,000,000 marks a,new era in Canadian financial history. We have changed our standing from a debtor nation to a creditor nation. In the face of the Avar-time strain the country has developed new qualities of manhood, economy and self- reliance. It has passed from a condition of dependence to one of independence. In less than a year and a half Canada has become a lender of millions where it previously borrowed millions. And even the United States banks are now so satisfied with the steady condition and resourcefulness of Canada that .they are soliciting us to come to them for money. Such a record surely means.that on the return of peace Canada will hold a new place in the world. STEEL SHORTAGE It is authoritatively stated that there exists today a world short age of 70,000,000 tons in iron products. This is from figures carefully prepared and from reliable information analysed most conservatively. With every steel p]ant in the United States work ing to capacity and orders piled up for months in advance, it would look as if that shortage would not be overtaken in present war conditions. There is no indi cation that Avar orders will slack en. Indeed, it is foreshadoAved that further enormous war orders are to be placed. An optimistic prediction is that for three years after the Avar the nations of Europe Avill import more iron and steel products than they export. The theory is that during the period of reconstruction which must necessarily follow peace, the depletion of stocks of steel and products in the countries hoAv at Avar will have to be made up as well, with the consequent result of heaAry importa- tios. That optimistic prophecy must be discounted by the meas lire of. the expansion of industrial establishments during the Avar in the countries of Europe. That expansion, it it true, is noAV en- tirelydevoted to production of Avar munitions. But it can Avith exual facility be adapted to other industrial activity after the Avar. That would add to the productive capacity of European establish ments,.ahd would tend to meet the demand and lessen importations. DIVIDENDS IN SHIPPING Notwithstanding losses of steamers through the predaccous Hun submarines in the North Sea mid all the Avaters surrounding the British Isles, those shipping coinpanies which are in position to handle freight have been making money. This is in spite of the effort to keep doAvn freight rates. The 10 per cent, bonus giA^en the shareholders of the Cunard line, in addition to the regular 10 per cent annual dividend, gives some idea of the enormous profits being made by those ; steamship companies Avhich have remained active. It is said that more ships and cheaper freights Avill be pne of the foremost topics for discussion at the Allies Economic Conference in Paris. Though Britain has added more than a million tons of the total of shopping under the flag since the beginning EUROPEAN COPPER During March 24,000 tons of copper Avere shipped to Europe from Atlantic ports. During the last Aveek of the month, there were shipped 11,000,tons. Great Britain has been requisitioning steamers.to transport copper and American producers have been trying to charter vessels. The gi-eatest effort is being made to relieve the shortage abroad. The largest single transaction has been the purchase by the French government of approximately 50,- 000 tons, at 27c per pound. The largest previous purchase Avas th at of J^OOO^tonsjn.__d_L._b_\/ Jhe British government last December at a price of 22c per pound. That purchase is to be delivered during the entire year 1916, Avhile the French purchase is contracted for delivery before October 31, of this year. Indications point, it is said, to the re-entrance of the British government into the copper market for additional requirements for this year. Domestic demands for copper for industrial purposes, both in Canada and the United States, is strong. Inquiries in the hands of large dealers aggregate many millions of pounds, and there is no sign of slackening in demand. It is now freely surmised that (increased local demand, added to the large purchases by allied governments, Avill force the price over 30 cents. have no acquaintance with their neighbors beyond one. or two stores adjoining their own.

All communications should be addressed to the Editor, and should include the name and address of the writer as a matter of good faith, and not necessarily for publication. Dear Mr. Editor: I was greatly amused on reading your editorial in last week's CALL on the question of \"The Weekly Half- Holiday.'' That, in my opinion, is a fair example of what one would say who is opposed to this up-to-date legislation\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdplenty of words, but no facts. After you have read or heard them, you wonder what has really been said. But let us see. ' You grant that it carries undoubted benefits for the working class but injustice to the proprietors of certain stores .and lines of business, citing the bakers as an example. Now the bill, as proposed at the joint meeting of retail clerks and employers, calls for tho closing of nearly all retail stores at the same time, one afternoon a week, Saturday being chosen by an overwhelming majority as tho most satisfactory day. For years the retail merchants have been trying to get a weekly half-holiday one district after another agreeing to close on a certain day; but after a few weeks it has generally ended by one store after another breaking through the ropes for one reason or another, until the state of things was as bad as before. These merchants all agree that they ought to close but are afraid that one fellow may stay open and get a few dollars ahead. Generally it is the smaller stores that are the greatest offenders in this respect. After years of such attempts we know it is useless to try without having a provincial act making the movement compulsory. What could be the effect of such, an act? You say it would involve a measure of injustice to the proprietors of certain stores. AVhy? If ALL retail stores closed Saturday at 1 o'clock and Friday night at 9:30, how could it injure anyone? It would, on the contrary, help to make competition on* a more equal footing. It will not close one section of the city at a different tim,e from another. The people of Mt. Pleasant would not be able to shop down-town when their own stores were closed.\" As for deliveries, it will help rather than hinder them. People can do their ordering Friday night to have the benefit of Saturday morning delivery, instead of ordering the general groceries and calling later tocarry home the fancy lines for Sunday. I do not see how this can affect any particular store. You mention the bakers. How do they manage on a .holiday now?., On., the first of .July coming they will be cosed, and they will not make any kick. I have never yet heard them make any. They \"will double up deliveries and work a little harder with pleasure for the sake of a holiday. If they can manage such a situation, why cannot they handle the Saturday afternoon situation equally well. Every bread driver I have asked says this could be easily adjusted. All bread is baked Friday night. The trouble is the bakers are often the big offenders, spoiling the trade and gaining nothing by it. I think the bakers' idea is to have the stores closed se they can do the retail business without interference 'and save the- grocers' profit of one cent a loaf. - ;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd You - mention the fact that -. storekeepers are against being coerced into closing their stores at particular hours but that they would iheet the situation by giving each clerk a half-holiday at their own discretion. Poor, afflicted storekeepers. Why should' their liberty be encroached upon? Why should they not be allowed to keep open until 10 o'clock every night and on a holiday if they choose, when they have to pay for it? Yes, one Mt. Pleasant merchant said he would be open on Sunday if the law did not prohibit. These stores on the hill that are against the holiday would be the last to ever give their clerks a holiday. If a law went into effect giving al_ clerks a general holiday each week it would disorganize business. Besides, no general holiday sports, picnics or games could be arranged for, because here and there some would be off for the afternoon, others would not. It would be no holiday at all. The only people who have any excuse to be exempt that I can see are the news stands, soda fountains, delicatessens, cafes and drug stores, for the sale of medicine. Tobacco and fruit should be prohibited, as people can easily see that they have a supply of these articles ahead. What would be the result of such an act? With all stores closed Saturday afternoon wc would not have the mjlleni- um, but the next door to it. As I said, the customers would be benefitted by Friday evening shopping and Saturday morning delivery. The stores would have Saturday changed to Friday with \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the benefit of . Saturday morning to sell off their over-stocks and replenish shortages to fill orders on hand. We would also have the benefit of getting. Saturday orders in du Friday and making a general early delivery on Saturday morning. It would also mean that this city, would put on a new air and get, out of the old rut and get some life in it. It would mean a better kept Sunday, for after Saturday's exercise, one would be far more inclined to spend his Sunday as a real day of rest, t^ be better fitted for the coming weel FRED ROLSTON, Mt.

Pleasant and Aricinity. The suggestion that a place of meeting be selected Avhere the members might take lunch together weekly seems to meet Avith the most general approval. What is Avaiited is not so much amusement or business co-operation as just ordinary acquaintance and good-fel- loAvship. There are many business men here on the hill avIio A small, and yet an important matter, Avhich has been overlooked in many of our cities and towns, is the provision of drinking fountains. Fountains are especially necessary for horses, dogs and birds. The general public can usually find a place to quench thirst, but not so the dumb animals. The supplying and placing of fountains is not an expensive matter, and should be undertaken by the community. Iu municipalities Avhich place a tax upon horses and dogs, the supplying of drinking fountains Avould in a small Avay justify this tax. Drinking fountains Avould also encourage birds to remain in the cities. Much money has. been expended by municipalities in fighting insect destroyers of shade trees, Avhen not the slight est effort has been made to protect the birds\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe natural enemy of insects. CANADA from her abundance can help supply the Empire's needs, and this must be a comforting thought for those upon whom the heavy burden of directing the Empire's affairs has been laid. Gain or no gain the course before the farmers of Canada is as clear as it was last year\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthey must produce abundantly in order to meet the demands that may be made, and I believe this to be especially true in regard to live stock, the world's supply of which must be particularly affected in this vast struggle.

We will welcome any suggestions from readers of this page, and will gladly give them publicity in these columns if received not later than Monday of each week. SALADS AND SAUCES Under the head of salads all preparations of uncooked, herbs or vegetables is placed. They are usually dressed with salt, vinegar, oil and spices. Sometimes they are combined with meat or shell fish, as chicken, veal, lobster, etc. They are used chiefly as relishes with other food. Sauces are generally used to impart a relish to articles of food. Sometimes vegetables are employed as the basis of sauces, but they are compounded chiefly of savory condiments,, that they may add zest to eating. Meat or fish used in salads should not be minced, but rather picked apart, or cut in pieces of moderate size. Cabbage, celery, asparagus, cauliflower, water-cress, and all kinds of lettuce are the vegetables best adapted for use in salads. They must be used when quite fresh and crisp, and all the ingredients used in their dressing must be of the best quality and flavor. Coldslaw With a sharp knife, or, better, with a knife made for the purpose, cut up into fine shavings a firm head of cabbage; sprinkle with as much salt and pepper as you deem necessary; beat up the yolk of. one egg, add a. lump of butter the size of a walnut, a gill of cream, the same quantity pf vinegar, a tablespoonful of sugar, an even teaspoonful of mustard, and a pinch of bruised celery seed. Heat these condiments together, without boiling,, and pour over the sliced cabbage; then toss it with a fork until thoroughly mixed. Allow time for it .to, cool before serving. Cabbage Salad Take one head of fine, white cabbage, minced fine; three hard boiled eggs; two tablespoonfuls of salad oil; two teaspoonfuls white sugar; one- teaspoonful salt; one teaspoonful pepper; one teaspoonful made mustard; one teacupful vinegar. Mix and pour upon the chopped cabbage. . Potato Salad - Steam and slice the potatoes; add a very little raw onion chopped very fine, and a little parsley, and1 pour over the whole a nice salad dressing. Serve either warm or cold, as may be preferred. *' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd .'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd *. *. * \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Chicken Salad Boil a small chicken until very tender.

Mix the chicken and eelery together; pour on Durkee's Salad Dressing, and stir all thoroughly. Cold veal used in place of chicken will also make a very excellent salad, i Salmon Salad For a pound can of salmon, garnished with lettuce, make a dressing of one small teacupful of vinegar, butter half the size of an egg, one of cayenne pepper, onerhalf teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, two eggs. When cold, add one-half teacupful of cream and pour over the salmon. * * * * Horse-radish Sauce Take one tablespoonful of grated horse-radish, a dessertspoonful of mustard, half a teaspoonful of sugar; then add vinegar, and stir it smooth.

When shampooing the hair never rub soap directly on it, but make a. shampoo with soap melted in boiling water. Be sure that you rinse the hair thoroughly so that it will b_ free from the soap, as nothing will ruin the golden glints of blonde hair quicker than soap if it is allowed to remain in the hair. The juice of half a lemon added to the last rinsing water is good for retaining the golden color in the hair. The best way to keep down flesh is by diet and exercise. I do not believe in internal remedies for reducing flesh. Take long walks in the open air, do not eat fat making foods, such as greasy meats, starchy foods, tea, coffee, or sweet rich things. Eat simple nourishing foods. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd X Lanolin is the foundation of nearly all of the creams and skin foods. It has the effect of soothing and nourishing the skin, replacing the natural oils that are washed out in the use of too much soap and water, or by neglect in keeping the skin clean. There is not any fat quite so beautifying. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.-#*'*' Hangnails usually are caused from improper manicuring. When the,cuticle is kept pushed back and the flesh kept free around the nails .hang nails will not appear. When the cuticle grows upon the nails it splits,,, and then the skin peels down, causing painful hang nails. Cut them off as close as ou can with small curved scissors. Never pull them off. The only way to rid yourself of them is by keeping the nails properly mauncured. You can easily learn to manicure your nails yourself. It is not diffictult to do. * * # One bad habit which most people overlook is keeping the mouth open while awake or sleeping. The lips should, be kept closed, except when talking or eating. I do not mean tightly closed, so as to form a hard line or pucker, but just closed in an agreeable smile. The habit of keeping the mouth open, either waking or sleeping, is bad for the health. Particles of matter accumulate around the neck of the teeth and in the cracks from such exposure. The membranes - covering-the- gums and- lining-the- lips and mouth at the same time lose their natural delicacy and healthy character, growing unpleasant, parched and stiff, so that speech becomes difficult and imperfect. ** * * * Elbows that have been neglected show a thickened circle of cuticle covered with \"goose\" flesh. To reduce this pulverized pumice stone sometimes is necessary, and massage must be employed three or four times a day, working a good deal of the skin food into the elbows. At night when retiring cover the elbows with thick applications of the skin food, and then bandage them. If you will persist in this treatment they will soon become presentable, and after they have grown so- they should receive the same daily care as the hands. * \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Bad skin does not exist where there is good circulation. This fact is so well understood by masseuses that they often overdo the massage. Ignoring the construction of the skin and its underlying tissues and the fact that no two people have exactly the same sort of skin they often bring about the desired circulation at the expense of dispersing that fatty tissue whieh lies beneath the surface. * ' * * Massage the arms with warm cocoa butter or olive oil. This will help to make them plump. An excellent exercise for developing the arms is as follows: With \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd arms at the side, inhale deeply, clench the fists, flex the elbows, bring fists to shoulder, moving the lower arm only and resisting the movement partly. Now, with the first shoulder level high and held there, bring elbows slowly out and up to shoulder level; the third part of the movement is to carry the fists close under he arm pits and back as far as possible, cross the fists high up on the back, and then lower them easily to the sides. Every part of the exercise includes resistance. Lifting weights from the floor is also good to enlarge the arm. To do this take a long step forward and bend to the floor with the hands touching the floor, take a deep breath, clench the fists, and pull the arms up as if lifting a heavy weight. FOKKERS ATTACK WITH CONE OF FIRE Mijinheer Pokker is a Dutchman, about twenty-three or twenty-four years of age, who has lived in Germany for many years and was one of the first aviators in Germany. Somewhere* about 1911 or 1912 he built a weird looking uncapsizable monoplane, which flew quite well long before the scientists of other countries had put their theories into practice and had produced the \"inherently stable\" biplane of which so much has been heard in this country. There was at the time some question of these early Fok- ker monoplanes being imported by one of Britain's flying services, but the construction was so bad that the inspecting officers did not dare to ask' British pilots to risk their lives in them. The new Fokkers are the very opposite to the maker's early effort. All attempt at \"inherent stability\" has gone, and they are designed to be absolutely under the control of the pilot in every position. This is what makes them such dangerous opponents, as they can manoeuvre with lightning speed. Most of the machines are fitted with Ueberursel rotary engines, whieh are a German copy of the Gnome. They give about 110 to 120 horse power, and consequently, although the machine is not very efficient in its design, it is forced through the air at tremendous speed and can climb at an alarming rate. Those flown by Immelmann and Bolcke are fitted with huge engines of the fixed cylinder motor car type of seemingly 100 to 150' horse power, and they have a speed of well over 100 miles an hour. Most of these machines carry a passenger in front who works a machine gun, but others, including those of the two \"star turns,\" have a gun fixed on the top of the engine and firing through the propellor (or rather the tractor-screw, to be technically correct.) In the latter case the gun is aimed by steering the whole aeroplane to suit, like Judson's flat-iron gunboat in Mr. Kipling's story. The favorite method of attack is for the Fokker to get up high\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto about 1,500 feet or so\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdand hang \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdaround till one of the allies' machines appears in sight below. Then, if of the fixed type, the Fokker stands on its head and dives straight for its victim, loosing off a stream of bullets as soon as it gets within range. By making the descent ever so slightly spiral the straight stream of bullets becomes a cone of fire with its apex at the gun and with the victim inside, so that whichever way the lower machine tries to escape it must pass through that cone. When the Fokker gets close to its enemy, if he has not already been hit, it approaches directly from behind, firing straight along the body or fus- ilage, so as tp have the pilot, passenger, tanks and engine all in one line of fire; and unless the pursued machine, is very quick on its controls and is able to dodge like a rabbit some vital part is bound to be hit sooner or later. Many of the Fokkers-fire through their propellors. It appears that the propellor blades are fitted with \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd deflector plates to turn aside such bullets as hit -the blades. Only about five or six bullets in a hundred are likely to hit the plates, and the remaining ninety odd pass between, the blades straight for their .target. This deflector dodge was first tried by the French aviator Garros, who was shot down and captured in Flanders some months ago. The Fokkers which do not fire through their propellors almost always attack their victims from be-^ hidd.'diving^uhdeF\" their tails and coming up in such a position that, while they can shoot up into the body of the pursued machine, the passenger in that machine, even if sitting behind the pilot, cannot shoot at the Fokker for fear of blowing his own tail off. Neither knife board nor powder, for example, is required if a large bottle cork be first slightly moistened with water, then scorched, or else dipped in well-charred and finely pulverized wood, or brick dust; plate powder becomes superfluous where old gas mantles can be ground down, sifted through muslin, and applied on a damp rag; and brass polish finds its equivalent in a squeezed lemoiigkin, coated with either whitening or with salt. The same medium replaces sand and bathbrick in \/the scouring of tables and copper utensils; banana rinds save the purchase of creams for brown leather leggings and boots; orange peel produces a nice glogs upon patent leather; and shredded candle ends advantageously supersede beeswax in polish for furniture and floors, says Kate L. B. Moorhead. Goal ashes sprinkled on a rag, wetted with paraffin, remove rust from and brighten steel as successfully as bathbrick and oi; bended with a simiar bulk of dust from the scuttles, slaked and employed as a slacking for fires, substantially reduce the fuel bill; whie, when sifted, they lighten garden soil more cheaply than sand and may even, if carefully stamped in, supply the place of gravel on paths. The sweepings from the dustpan, screwed up in a newspaper, and potato parings crisped in a slow oven, provide knidlings galore; dried orange rinda, burnt matches welded together with candle gutterings, cocoanut shells and empty nightlight cases, all ignite embers as quickly as patent \"revivers\"; and soot cleared from foul chimneys is a horticulture fertilizer, dent of the Skeena Copper Co., Limited, has seven men working on a tunnel on the Bed Eose, near Hazelton.

THE WESTERN CALL -r j \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'-hi My Australian Diary [(Continued from last week) fanuary 26.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe lofty moun- tns of Viti Levu, largest of the Ijian group, loom up on the Irizon with the first peep of ly. We are on deck in a jiffy [id there we remain, regard- oiXthe breakfast hour, finking in the ravishing beauty mountain valley and palm- fihged beach. This is our first Ight of the real tropics on this Wrney, and we do not intend |) be cheated out of any of it. It is a surprise\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdindeed, some- rhat of, a shock\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto find the \"'ijis so mountainous. The ieight of the highest mountain [s nearly a mile. Somehow we lad always thoiight of these as [ow-lying islands. But the for- lation of the Pijis is volcanic, although supplemented by cor- il structure in certain parts. We entered Suva Harbor about o'clock, and were not long in |transferring to the Grand Pa- sific, the only good hotel in the *>lace, and within convenient Iwalking distance of the pier. ISuva is not a large town, nor a [very bustling one, needless to Isay, but it is prettily laid out |on the slopes of the hills that rise from the waterfront to the moun- A |tains beyond. The cable station, >ublic library, museum, moving ricture theatre, Grand Pacific [otel, Government House and *arliament buildings are about the main objects of interest, [\"here are small botanical gar- lens near the hotel which dwarf Into insignificance when we re- lember those of Sydney. The weather is hot and sultry today, but the islands have an [enviably healthy climate. January 28.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWe have enjoyed [three little side trips by launch, [to Mbau, the home of the old J Fijian aristocracy;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd to \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdLeyaka,- | the centre of the cocoanut industry on a nearby island; and up the Navua river to the sugar mills. The climate of. the Fiji islands does not seem to interfere with agriculture or commerce in the least, sugar, copra and bananas being produced and exported to the value of several million dollars annually. Of late years cattle grazing has been much talked of, and will probably be experimented with by a Sydney firm shortly. Fiji is beautiful, restful, and eminently sanitarjr. Good accommodation is provided for health- seekers and tourists at all times of the year. The only drawback to life in the islands is the hurricane season, but severe hurricanes are not as frequent as they are in other parts of the South Pacific or in the China Sea. January 29.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe R. M. S. Niagara, Captain Rolls, arrived at 8 o'clock this morning and sailed again at 3 p.m. for Honolulu. We look back upon our three days in the Fijis with genuine regret. Passed through the tail of a hurricane tonight which sent us all below early. The passenger list is less than half the size of that of the Ma- kura on the outward voyage; but the cuisine and general appointments of the Niagara are infinitely superior to those of her sister liner.

It is a lively city and more northerly than tropical in its general aspect. There are several very excellent tourist hotels and dozens of good boarding houses in the city as well as at Waikiki beach, the noted seaside resort, where surf bathing can be enjoyed to better advantage and with greater safety than anywhere else in the world. X As we had such a comparatively short time to sqe Honolulu, we motored out to Waikiki and on to Diamond Head, where an extinct volcanic crater\" is made to serve as a fortress and arsenal. On the way back to the city we visited the Aquarium, where we saw what is perhaps the mqat curious collection of fish and sea animals in existence. We would never have believed there could could be fish of all the colors of the rainbow, fish striped like a penitentiary suit, fish with their eyes along their bellies, fish of such fantastic shapes and colors that it seemed as if they must have been taken from fairy books. There are also excellent camples of live devilfish, starfish, sponges, etc. We paid a visit to the pineapple canneries, the largest of. their kind in the world, and also motored out to a pineapple plantation about four miles from the city, where we purchased some ten and twelve pound pineapples at ten cents each to take aboard ship with us. After this we returned to the city by way of the Pali road, and motored about town, taking in Chinatown, Japtown, Koreatown, and the select residential quarter. After dinner at the Alexander Young Hotel we went up to the roof garden to listen to a Hawaiian band concert, under the shelter of palms of every description, and fanned by delightful tropic breezes. It is little wonder Honolulu is such a popular health and pleasure resort. Living, however, is not by any means cheap here. We left Honolulu about half past ten amid the cheering of a large crowd of people gathered at the piers to bid goodbye to a contingent of British reservists going to the war. The strains of the Hawaiian National song, '' Aloha, Oe,'' were the last sounds heard as we bade farewell to sunny seas and tropic isles for many a day to come. February 11.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWe have passed a most uncomfortable week since leaving Honolulu, being spoiled by so much sunshine and heat since leaving home, and, therefore, .not-taking kindly, to this abrupt change to a northern winter climate. We have had head winds and high seas since the day after we left the Hawaiian Islands. This morning as we lie trying to take our second nap we are awakened by the steward's cry, \"All on deck for the doctor.\" We are at William Head. Since November 26 we have covered a little over 19,750 miles of land and sea and have been treated to a great variety of climate and scene. To say this is an enjoyable trip would be to put it too mildly.\" It is a liberal education, and there is not one foot of those thousands of miles we would not wish to travel over again in the hope of seeing those interesting countries in greater detail. I cannot do better in conclusion than to append a sample menu of the liner Makura in order that those who might purpose taking this route to Australia may be able to judge of the fare provided for the cabin passengers. I might say the variety provided on the Niagara is a still wider- one. Dinner\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdQueen Olives. Pickled Walnuts. Iced Consomme. Mock Turtle Soup.

(The End) A JUVENILE MATCHMAKER ENDERSON rushed into the dingy suburban railway station much the same as he rushed about his business affairs. As he closed the door he was greeted by four of his college frknds, all returning after the Christmas vacation. While engaged in conversation with his friends an elderly man approached, stretched out his hand in greeting, and asked if Henderson was returning to the college town. Answered in the affirmative, the man requested a favor of Henderson\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthat he assist his daughter, who tvas a school teacher in the college town, to her home. With visions of a scrawny, bespectacled, elderly schoolma'am, Henderson obligingly accepted the duty of escort, agreeing to report soon to meet the teacher. He put off the meeting until he heard the train whistle for the station. Then he made his way to the women's waiting room ,where, to. his surprise, he beheld a bright and vivacious girl of 23 years, with a merry twinkle in here eyes- Henderson's surprise was manifest in his countenance when introduced and his eyes clearly conveyed his thoughts\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrthat the girl -was good to look upon. Boarding the crowded train, it became convenient for them to sit together and soon they found much to talk about of interest to both. Then \"Buss\" appeared on the scene. \"Buss\" was a little girl about four years old. Her real name was Margaret, but because she kept up a continual chatter her mother called her \"Buss.\" She manifested a keen interest in Henderson and the teacher. Finally she broke away from her mother and crowded into the seat with them. Turning her large brown orbs upon Henderson she saked: \"Do you like her?\" The question proved disconcerting, to say the least, but finally Henderson managed to stammer that he did. Then the same brown orbs turned to the teacher with the same inquiry. Blushing profusely, the teacher stammered much the same answer as did Henderson. Then \"Buss\" acted. She took the teacher's hand and placed it into that of Henderson with this exclamation: \"Now you are married.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Then her mother took her away with a severe reprimanding. But the mischief had been done. After landing his charge safely at her boarding- house, Henderson tried to forget it all, but he was not successful. Then came a day when he met the teacher face to face on the street. Both smiled and Henderson accompanied her to her boarding-house. When he left some time later he took her promise to attend the theatre two nights later. There were other occasions that they met, and frequent ones, too. They married two years later .and have liver.- happily ever since. \"Buss\"' was the agent of Cupid. A MID-SUMMER TIT-BIT\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdGUINEA POWli. The man of the bouse wants to know why guinea fowl is not served oftenerj it is such a delicious dish. There are many reasons; the birds, are small and retail from 70 cents to' $1.25 each, so perhaps that is the principal one. Another is that the little guineas are exceedingly tender; they must have especial care until two weeks old. The mother bird invariably steals her nest and if she escapes skunks, weasels, prowling minks and slinky cats long enough to hatch the feathery mites they become wet in the dew of early 'mornings and die. All this discourages farm women from trying to supply the market with guineas. The few that are sold are often tough from advanced age, for once grown this fowl will live fifteen or twenty years. * They become great pets ahd are as useful as a watch dog on a farm. They sound a shrill alarm when a stranger approaches and bravely fight furred night prowlers like rats and weasels. . The flesh of guineas is dark colored, but yery sweet tasting and full of flavor when nicely prepared. Pluck, singe, draw and cut the bird as with chicken. It is most always dry picked as the feathers have a commercial value and this, think, keeps the meat well flavored. To fricassee, first render the fat from a quarter of a pound of fine bacon. Now fry the fowl; it should cook very brown and be well seasoned. To attain the brown crust, so well liked, some cooks dredge each piece of meat lightly with flour, seasoned with salt and pepper. Put the guinea in a deep tureen as soon as it is cooked tender and make a rich gravy of the fat ahd juices in the frying pan. Pour this over the tureen of meat. With this serve croquettes of potato, buttered green peas and hot biscuit. Panned broiled guinea is truly a luxury for it can only be made with very tender young birds. Split a brace of guinea down the back and remove what our Dinah calls \"the innards.'' Do not wash, but wipe very dry with a soft cloth. Mix salt, pepper and Paprika together in a shaker and dredge the birds inside and but with the mixture. Now beat them with the side of a cleaver so they will lie flat and cook evenly in the pan. Brush them well with melted butter and when the frying pan is very hot lay them in; There will be some smoke at first, but this will go in a moment and you can turn them, and cook the other side. They should be turned every five minutes and after they are well started to cook the heat must be reduced. In fact the process of panning guineas is exactly like panning broiling steak. When done dish them and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd add minced parsley, a little butter and half as much boiling water as you have fat in the pan and pour all them over the birds. If you like currant \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdjelly on meat you may put two tablespoons of it with this liquor, but usually the home cooks serve it separately. Chapel Becomes a Larder. '' There is no town in the world, not even Paris, where patriotism is more of a religion than at Lyons. And to the, Lyonese, therefore, it can seem no sacrilege that the chapel adjoining the 'salle des fetes' should have been converted into & larder, stored with slabs of bread, tins of meat, jars of jam, fringes of sausages, all destined for the defenders of la patrie. \"From the .town hall radiate throughout Lyons all manner of activities. The mayor is especially n- terested in the re-education of crippled soldiers. For this purpose the municipality has opened two technical schools \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdone down in the valley at La Each- ais, the other on the height of ]j|our- viers, which dominates Lyons as Fiesole does Florence. In these two institutions some 400 crippled pupils are receiving instruction in gardening, toy making, shoemaking, book binding, bookkeeping, modern languages, tailoring, surgical instrument making and even wireless telegraphy. \"But the most interesting of all the mayor's enterprises is that which he describes as 'war's gift to peace.' A little way out of the town on the banks of the Rhone, 200 German prisoners are constructing an enormous stadium. It: was begun before the war, one of the many evidences of that passion for athletics and outdoor lifewhich has overtaken France in the twentieth century. \/F PHONE SEYMOUB 0086 .KEEP Your papers and Valuables in A PRIVATE BOX In our Safety Vault $2.50 PER ANNUM Dow Fraser Trust Co. 122 Hastings St. West Ottawa, Canada PRINGLE & GUTHRIE Barristers and Solicitors Clive Pringle.

GIRLS' SEWING CLUB The Girls' Sewing Club meets each Tuesday for Red Cross work and are doing excellent work for the soldiers. Recently they gave a concert in the Seymour street Sunday School Hall and-realized a gratifying amount with which to purchase materials for future work. Those taking part in the program were Jean Henderson, Margaret Ramsay, Edith Phillips, Madge His- lop, Susis Roberts, Annie Orr, Helen Henderson, Grace Pritchard, Amy Mutch, Beatrice Wheelwright, Marjorie Wheelwright, Sadie Comeau, Mary de Carlo, Bertha Ross, Eleanor Baird, Elvira Walters, Alice Morrow, Louise Dick and Maggie Griegen. One of the items on the program was the Butterfly dril whieh was very pretty. Several little girls representing butterflies appeared on the stage and took their parts, each one leaving thestage in turn till finally one little girl remained all alone.k Nobody was going to love her till finally little Master Morrow claimed her and took her away. The children were assisted in their concert by Mrs. Timberlake, Miss Spies and Mrs. Gilland. The girls are between the ages of ten and sixteen and arc doing valuable wosk for the society. Made Him Look Small. As one would expect, W. W. Jacobs has a wonderful fund of anecdotes; indeed, it is doubtful if any humorist of today could equal him as a story teller. J For instance, there is his tale of a lawyer who was defending a man accused of housebreaking. \"I submit,\" he said to the judge, \"that my client did not break into the house'at. all. He found' the kitchen window open and merely inserted his right arm and removed a few trifljng articles. Now, my client's arm is not himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed by only one of his limbs.\" The judge smiled with a superior smile. \"That argument is very well put!\" he said. \"Following it logically, I sentence the prisoner's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not as he chooses.\" The prisoner, gave a polite bow and, with his lawyer's assistance, unscrewed his arm and leaving it in the dock, walked calmly out of the court. VANCOUVER HEIGHTS REP CROSS Mrs. Glen and Mrs. Griffin, 3964-5 Pender Street East, very kindly opened their homes for a most successful whist drive and dance held on Wednesday evening last in aid of the material fund of the Vancouver Hgts, branch of the Red Cross Society.

Hay and Mr. Young, while Mrs. Wood and Mr. Louis D. Taylor were awarded consolation prizes. Dainty refreshments were then served by the ladies, after which dancing -was indulged in till the \"wee sma' oor ayont the twal.\" J During the evening the beautiful basketdonated to the branch by Mr. Gordon Drysdale was drawn for. The winning number, 85, was held by Mr. A. Mathews. The raffling of this bas- ket__added=ii_materially^-,_to the -funds of the Society.

He was one of those clever people who are always trying to take off some one, and his latest selected victim was a woman bus conductor. It was in London. \"Dardanelles, please,\" he said, with a grin, tendering a penny as she came for the fares. Nothing happened until the vehicle passed a recruiting office. Then the fair conductor tugged at the bell rope and announced loudly: \"Change here for the Dardanelles.\" Coal mining rights of the Dentin- on, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan' and Alberta^ the Yukon Territory, the North-west Territories and in a portion of the province of British Columbia, may be leased for a term of twenty-dne years renewal for a further term of 21 years at -an annual rental of $1 an acre.

The good work being done ,by the Vancouver Musical Society in presenting the world's great: est composers, and training nxu- sicians in their performance $\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd awakening the public to an (appreciation of the beauties ,, of these masterpieces. The support accorded by the public has been very gratifying to those who have worked hard to promote the organization of a first-class choral and orchestral society. The Vancouver Musical Society was organized in 1911 under the auspices of the Vancouver School Board. The first work presented was Sterndale Bennett 's '' May Queen.'' In follpw- ing seasons \"Festival Te Deum\" (Sullivan); \"The Messiah\" (Handel), three performances, and \"The Hymn of Praise\" (MmdfelssoM) \"have \"been\" given* as well as several miscellaneous programmes. This season Menh delssohn's great oratorio, \"Elijah,\" will be given with a large chorus and full orchestral accompaniment. Renders the Best Music The orchestral branch began with a few young players, some of whom still remain with the society and have developed great proficiency, while others, both amateur and professional; have been added until the orchestra numbers between thirty and forty players capable of rendering the best class of music. Under the leadership of 'Mr. George P. Hicks, who has been annually re-elected president and conductor, many talented vocalists have been attracted to the society, some of. whom have appeared' as soloists and met with hearty appreciation. In order to provide a certain amount of variety together with the highest quality the society is . not re stricted to its membership in the selection of soloists. For the production of Mendelssohn 's \" Elijah,\" which takes place on Tuesday, April 18, the principal parts will be taken by Mrs. Chandler Sloan, of Tacoma, Miss Eileen Maguire, of Vancouver, Mr. Gideon Hicks, of Vic toria, and Mr. Alexander Wallace '. of this city. ; Mrs. Sloan has appeared on two previous occasions with the society in \"The Messiah\" and those ;> who heard her will have a pleasing recollection of her excellent rendition of the soprano . solos. Mr. Gideon Hicks is well known to Vancouver music lovers as an accomplished singer and would make an ideal Elijah, his fine bass voice and excellent control being especially suited to the important parts allotted to him. Miss Eileen Maguire needs no introduction to Vancouver audiences and may be relied upon to give a most satisfactory rendition of her solos. Mr. Wallace is a recent acquisition to the musical world of Vancouver, a* young man possessed of a fine, tenor voice, who gives promise of notable ' achievements as a soloist Auditorium Needed The growing popularity of the Vancouver Musical Society has emphasized the need for a suitable auditorium for large gatherings. The erection of a mu- nicipal concert hall would meet the approval of a great number of. those interested, both as performers and audience in these productions. Previous performances which have been given in the city churches would have filled a large building had such been available;, For, the -comings performance of \"Elijah\" the Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian church has been secured. This has the largest seating capacity of any church in the city, and is readily accessible by all the principal carlines. For the convenience of those who wish ,to avoid waiting for the doors to open a certain number of seats will be reserved until 8 o'clock, tickets for which may be obtained at EA'ans' Music Store. The date of opening of reserved seat sale will be announced later. Owing to the length of the programme and the necessity of continuity in the successive numbers, it is desired that the audience be seated before 8 o '- clock, so that the performance may begin promptly and the doors may be closed to avoid interruption. Two young South Vancouver people, Mr. Henry Alexander Armstrong and Miss Agnes Crawford, were united in marriage on Tuesday evening by Rev. J. R. Robertson in the St. David's Presbyterian church Miss Margaret Clark acted as bridesmaid, and Private Colin C. Crawford as groomsman. The young couple have gone to Victoria for a short honeymoon.
