Hardly a year passes that does not record some new invention, or the appli- cation of some hitherto known force to an entirely new purpose, The world makes progress, and progress cannot and must not be stopped, but in | this onward march there is always a lurking danger that we may be weak- ening, possibly’ destroying, something which, in our own interests, we can ill afford to injure or destroy. ¢ : Does the general public, for example, fully realize the true meaning of the situation which has arisen in the realm of public transportation owing’ to : the introduction and rapid increase in the use of motor busses for passengers and huge trucks for freight haulage upon our highways, and the effect which this development is having upon our railways? Without giving the matter much consideration many people may say: “We are not concerned as to the effect on the railways; they can look out for themselves.” But this is a short-sighted view, because what affects the railways affects every producer, every taxpayer, every. citizen in this country. Let us briefly examine this new development, not from the standpoint of the railways, or of the passenger busses and freight trucks, but from the standpoint of the farmer-producer, the merchant, the ranks of labor, and the individual taxpayer. The people of Canada have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in railways. They are paying heavy taxes today because of land grants, tax exemptions, cash subsidies, bonuses, guarantees of bonds and the payment of deficits in years past, in order to provide these essential services. Today the people of Canada are the owners outright of more than one-half the railway mileage in Canada, while thousands of Canadians, as individuals, are finncially interested in the second great railway system of this Dominion. It is in the interests of every citizen, therefore, that our railways be operated - efficiently, financially as in all other respects. ; During recent years the taxpayers of Canada, Federally, Provincially, and Municipally, have been investing tens of millions of dollars annually in | the provision of good roads. Thousands:of miles of all-weather highways have been built, and the constant demand is for still more and better high- ways. . The tax burden is mounting higher and higher as a result.

Briefly stated, that’s the situation. Having taxed ourselves to create the railways, we have now taxed ourselves to create the means whereby rival services are made possible to-cripple the institutions in which we are so heavily interested, financiglly and otherwise. What does this mean, say to the farmer-producer of Western Canada? Everywhere the demand is being voiced that railway freight rates should be reduced; that in view of the present low price of all farm products, existing freight charges on these products to the markets of the world are too high, * and altogether out of proportion to the price of the commodities transported. Granting this to be true, the fact remains that it costs the railways just as much to move a bushel of 50 cent wheat as it does to move a bushel of $1.50 or $2.00 wheat. So far as the.farmey-producer is concerned he must rely upon the rail- ways to transport his product.’ He may move it from his farm to the nearby elevator in a truck,.but he carinot so transport it to the head of the lakes ports or to the-seaboard. The railways must do that. Neither can'he de- pend upon motor truck services to bring to him all the heavy machinery and equipment from far distant points; the railways must do that, too. Therefore, the question for the farmer-producer, and for the merchant who depends upon the success of farming for his livelihood, to face and answer is: How can freight rates be reduced; how in fact can they be main- tained eveh at present figures, if the railways lose the revenues accruing to them from short hauls, and the lighter classes of freight? This article, and a* second one to follow, is not written as an apologist for, nor as propaganda in behalf of the railways, but solely in order to direct attention to some factors now entering into the transportation problems of this present age.—Editor.

Ontario gov- ernment proposes to found at the de- _ bouchment of the Moose River is one which has captivated the imagination of those most closely connected with the operations. Expanding ‘the theme, the pos- sibility was envisaged of such B development furnishing an addi- tional outlet for the coal of both Nova Scotia and Alberta. In the former case the coal could be water-borne all the way from Sydney, N.S.,“up the coast of Labrador, through the well- charted Hudson Straits and dawn to James Bay. In the latter case a com- paratively short haul from the Alber- ta colleries to Churchill wonld bring the western product to tidewater.

' |Says Manufiivusies Should i | Take Care Of Raw Products _ From Western Canada Faris No industry is favored with more instruction, inspection, guidance and encouragement from Government officials and self-appointed crusaders than is the enterprise we call dairy- ing. But there is a good motive be- hind all this paternalism, and happily it is bearing fruit... From Dr, J. A. Ruddick, Dairy Commissioner for Canada, comes this terse statement: “According to the “London Grocer” the average London quotation for Canadian chéese for the calendar year, 1930, exceeded the London quo- tation for New Zealand cheese by 3.06 cents per pound.” When we add 3 cents per pound to the cheese manufactured in Can- ada (for that is what it really means) * we begin to appreciate what cheese grading, factory improve- ment, payment by test, and general packing mean to the dairymen of this country. And when we recall that at one time New Zealand cheese was threatening the prestige of the Cana- dian product on the British market we can, quite properly, give our- selves: a pat on the back.—Farmers’ Advocate, j Interest In Horticulture Societies In Saskatchewan Planning To Organize a Fall Circuit Horticultural societies in Saskatch- ewan are planning to organize fair circuit, reports W.

A. Buchanan, of Lethbridge, Alberta, told members of the Toronto Board of Trade at a recent gathering. Wheat can only be: partially dis- placed in the west by diversified farming, Senator Buchanan said, but a reduction in wheat acreage is pos- sible through ths introduction of more stock raising and the establish- ment of sugar beet factories, veget- able canneries, cheese factories, milk condensaries and an extension in the sheep raising industry. What was néeded with this divetsified agricul- ture was the industries to take care of the raw products. “Here's where the co-operation of the eastern manufacturer was re- quired,” he said. -Also the western sheep raisers should be encouraged in the production of more Canadian wool. While Canada could never compete with such wool industries as that of Australia, there was the: basis of great wool producing areas in western Canada, the senator said. . Commenting on present conditions in the west, Senator Buchanan said the country was “groggy” in spots, but there was plenty of hope and con- fidence in evidence. He belittled talk of secession, which, he said, was found only in dis- tricts where agitators “got a chance to air their views.” He claimed no one treated secession seriously. What many farmers needed to do fal)| was to live on reserves built up through good years rather than take too many chances on “next year’’ They should also seek to live off the farm rather. than buy canned vegetables, meats and milk. Production of only the superior class of all products should be urged upon the farmers, he said. The coal industry was in the worst situation in its history. Un- less some other utilization could -be fcund for coal he could hold little hope for the industry in the future. One industry which had not ceased during the depression, he said, was the production of oil. New fields were being found all the time and in the near future importation of such pro- ducts into Canada should be eliminat- ed. % , Cause Of Gastric Ulcer ¥ Harvard University Professor An-— nounces New Theory Climaxing seventeen years of re- search work, Dr. Harvey Cushing, of Harvard University, foremost author- ity on the surgery of the central ner- vous system, has announced his theory regarding the cause of gastric ulcer, a problem that has baffled the medi- cal world since 1784. : The ulcer. is caused by disturb- ances in the diencephalon, that part of the brain .which is the seat of the primitive emotions, and which gov- erns most of the automatic actions of the body, he stated. _ Dr. Cushing spoke in Convocation - Hall before the faculty of medicine of the University of Toronto, which celebrated the 104th ‘anniversary of the birth .of Lord Lister, eminent surgeon. His explanation of the cause of the ulcer is the first coherent and com- pletely tenable answer to the problem that has yet been proposed, Toronto medical authorities who attended the lecture said, © The gastric ulcer is one of the most common maladies of the pres- ent day, and is said to be increasing.

He. has become separated from his spiritual resources, and in the heavy demands of the campaign he has be- gun to lose heart.” 4 There. was in a city a judge, so ran the parable, who feared not God and regarded not man, It is thought that such a judge must stand for a heath- en judge, since; in the time of Christ, of Jewish judges were required “pru- dence, gentleness, piety, hatred of mammon, love of truth, that they may be beloved and of good report.” To. such a judge there came often a widow beseeching him to avenge her of her adversary, to give her justice. “Her adversary was probably a rich neighbor who, taking advantage of the death of her husband, had stolen her land. appropriating the property of widows and orphans is often alluded to in the Old Testament and forbidden The offence of violently with threats of divine vengeance, Ex. 22.22-24, etc.”—-Dummelow. For a long time the judge would not listen to her claim, but finally he became aware that she might wear him out with her continual coming (literally, give him a hlack eye), and he then yielded to hér entreaty and |} gave her justice. “And shall not God avenge His elect?” His chosen people (first used Corwin Wickersham, president; J.

There was plenty of time now for it would take the fire some time to reach us from any direc- tion, I casually set about getting some logs to build one. Of a sudden Scottie cocked his ear. I listened, too—and sure enough it was the rone of a motor. Before long. we could see the plane, and in a few minutes it was spiraling down to make a landing in the lake. ou see, it was an amphibian ‘plane that lands either on the ground or on the water. ‘ It hit the water with a “splash— splash’ and taxied slowly up to. us. There was good old Bob from the air-- drome—and maybe he didn’t look good to.me. But what a rattletrap of a ma- chine he had! ‘‘Bob, where did you get that old crate—it sounded like a Vicker's serait that’s a Vickers, then I'm a negro!"’ “Well,” said Bob, “you don’t look un- like one, and speaking of old‘ crates, where did you get that swell suit of clothes?” Sure enough I was black from head to foot from soot and cinders. My leather coat had been cut uP to make a rope, my shirt to make a sl ng to lower Scottie over the falls, and the legs of m ants had been, torn into strips to bin the raft. together. “But seriously, Bob, wherever did you get that rte. wreck?" “The motor is a hummer—it’s a real Vickers,” answered Bob, + “but whoever hung that scarecrow of a 'plane on that good motor I cannot imagine. It would make a good wagon for the wheels are sound, or a good boat for it doesn’t leak, but it acts like a flying rooster in the air, lots of noise but no filt.” : “E don't like it any better than you do,” continued Bob “but when I heard fpade for the water | I that you and Scottie were lost there wasn’t much time to go around looking for a good machine, It was a question of getting hold of some kind of 'plane and getting started. In fact, IL didn’t even stop to enquire who owned this craft, just as long as the propeller went around, that was all I asked of it.” : “Anyway, here's your life preserver,”® said Bob, ‘‘and you'd better strap it on, If this bunch of misfit parts doesn’t hang together—you may have to walk home.” By the time the parachute was cite on, we were ready to go.

Scottie was now well tied to the parachute, and if I had to: jump his chances were about 60-50 with me, and with all these autos around, - that’s a dog’s chance anywhere, After a while I_ settled down, and somehow it seemed so secure drifting along up there far above the ground that I forgot-all about the possibility of having to jump. Suddenly I received a sharp reminder, We ran into an air pocket and dropped like a lead shot. Only for an instant— then we were out of it, but that instant was a death blow to the old ‘plane. It just seemed as if every nut and bolt were ready to fall apart. Bob turned and mo- tioned me with his hand. Up to the edge of the cockpit I stepped—then jumped. Quite comfortably we floated down.

Queen Of “the Seas Construction Work On Giant Cunard Liner Is Proceeding Rapidly Work on the new 73,000-ton Cunard liner has progressed so rapidly that word was received at the local offices of the Cunard Line to the effect that it is highly probable that the date of the launching will be advanced from June, of 1932, to February, of next year. The yards of John Brown and Com- pany, who are building this giant, lin- er, have been the scene of feverish activity ever since the order for the vessel was first given and the clang of the rivetting machines has: been incéssant for twenty-four hours every day for weeks. Factories and foundries all over Great Britain are also to be found working on a twenty-four hour sche- dule in an effort to speed up the work as much as possible. No little effort has been made to ensure that all the component parts that will go to make up this vessel and all her equipment, will be of the very best and hundreds of the finest craftsmen that the Bri- tish Isles can produce are at present “doing their bit” in producing this new “Queen of the Seas.” It was only last Sunday that the rudder for the new ship left the’ fac- tory in Darlington on board a steamer that required special fitting out for the job of transporting it to the yards of John Brown at Clydebank. This gigantic piece of metal weighs over one hundred and fifty tons and is the largest that has ever been construct- ed. Skilled mechanics have been work- ing for weeks in the building of this rudder. In comparing the size of this vessel to any other liner that has ever been built, an astounding comparison has been disclosed. -If it were possible -;to“take the. hulls of the first four vessels of the original Cunard fleet, and place them in the inside of any of the funnels which will grace the mew Cunarder, there would still be room to spare, While work has. been proceeding apace at Clydebank, there has also been considerable activity at South- ampton,' where.the new ‘graying dock is in the course of construction..
