That thirty million people should maintain an existence on such a small area of land is il- lustrative of the different living conditions in Canada and China. while at the same time it may mean that the Chinese, like the Japanese, are compelled to practice most in- tensive cultivation of the soil. ‘

As for reckless driv- ers, who are in a minority, the only cure for them is police action, and that is being taken everywhere.

According to Dr. Clarence Web- ster's Wolfiana, General Wolfe was carried from the field in a plaid belonging to Donald McLeod, one of the foremost among those terrible Highlanders, who was himself wounded, and who, when he heard that the general was mortally wounded, took off his plaid with his wounded hands and asked that. his beloved leader should be carried in if»; and he was. This Donald Mc- Leod was himself a Wonder. Bum in Skye in 1688, he was 71 at the battle of the plains. He helped raise the original Black Watch, was through the wars in Flanders and had fought with Wolfe at Louis- burg as a. sergeant. Invalided home he travelled to England in the Royal William bearing Wolfe's body, tool; Dart in the funeral ceremony and retired from the army in 1764, after having servedunder five sovereigns. He was married three times; twelve of his sons served in the navy and army: when he died, aged 11o, Don- ald's eldest son was 91 and his Youngest only 17, the latter having been born when the veteran was 93

THE CHARIDTTETOWN GUARDIAN

a. 1m w. Baton. MD- THE CROSS-BYE!) CHILD

One of the defects often seen in former years was cross-eyes. Al- though it occurs just sa often as it ever did, there are not so many cases seen now.

Why?

Because parents and physicians make It their business to have the condition corrected.

Dr. Oscar Wilkinson of Wash- ington, D. C.. tells us that the rea- son cross-eye is sometimes neglect- ed is that parents have the idea that It is ‘a simple thing which the child will outgrow. (It is not.) That lthe operation to cure cross-eye ia the small matter of "shipping s. little muscle.’ (It is by no means a simple matter.) That the operation for the cure of cross-eye cannot be performed until the patient has reached the age of fourteen. (When operation is necessary, the sooner it Ia done the better.) ‘That the repeated change of glasses will cure nearly every case. (It will not.) That cross-eye does the child no harm. (It does.) It usually causes the loss of vision of that eye and produces a hideous deformity which causes the child to develop an in- feriority complex and is a distinct economic handicap.

His suggestions araz- -

A cross-eye is a serious disorder that should not be neglected.

The sooner cross-eye is treated, the more certainly it will be cured. The majority of cases of cross- eye can be easily cured if treated very early and very definitely.

' A cross-eye is often difficult, and may be impossible to cure, if neg- looted or improperly treated.

To neglect a cross-eye usually causes the loss of vision of that. eye. - 1f proper glasses do not cure crossed-eyes in a few months, they will never cure them. If glasses and I the proper treatment do not re-' lleve the cross-eye in six months. the patient should be operated upon, no matter what the age. Every cross-eyed child 1n school is a neglected child; timid and shy. '

Above 75 per cent .of cross-eyes are cured when treated very early; few or none are really cured when treated late.

The thought then is that in every case of cross-eye the parents should ask their family physician to have a consultation with an eye spec- ialist.

Whether the specialist and your family physician follow all the sug- gestions above is not the import- ant point. The important point is that the cross-eyed child should be seen early by an eye specialist.

Scaling Everest

(Exchange)

Sir Francis Younghusband was the chief moving spirit in the first Everest expedition and his faith is strong this day that an English- man will be first-foot on the sum- mil; though three expeditions have failed to reach that highest alti- tude of this planet. It will be re- membered that after the last tragic expedition, when Messrs. Mallory and Irving never returned from the last; lap of the ascent, the Dalai Lama refused permission for a fourth attempt on the sacred mountain. v- Sir Francis has telegraphed in the New York Times, the unex- pected news of such permission from the Tibetan government. And the Royal Geographical society, or rather the Everest u mnlittee which is drawn from that society and the Alpine club, has the moncy ready as well as the organization. They are preparing plans "on the broadest possible scale" and will select men "in no way inferior to the gallant souls who In 192i, 1922 and 1924 itrled, and failed to conquer this highest mountain.

Sir Francis points out that the great heights are, in a. very real sense, sacred to your true moun- taineer. Arid the English climbers had an understanding respect for the attitude of the Tibetans. Dur- ing the past eight years they have wisely waited, “putting out feelers" occasionally to learn if the pro- pitious moment had come, and the mountain might. be disturbed once more. All the Himalayan experi- ence will be used in the expedi-

War Ace To G0?‘

(Montreal Gazette)

During the recent Royal N" Force Q1918)’. many eyes were turned upward to watch Britain's future "aces" and fighting Plan" swggplnfl acres the sky. But will there be any aces in the next war? It is claimed that today's conditions are so very different from H1059 which prevailed in 1917 and 1918 that the individual will be given little chance of alsunsulahlns him- gglf; that the "ace" of air warfare ha; gone forever, says a writer in the National Graphic, London. To- morrow wings and squadrons will fly and fight together, each under the wireless control of the leader. progress tends toward mass attack] and mass defense, and tomorrow's "dggflght" may see a thousand planes in the sky. It is doubtful if; a free-lance pilot could exist in~ such conditions. The "ace" system was started b)’ i

the French quite early‘in the war, as a means of stimulating IndlvI-f dual effort when individual effort] was all-Important; later, other na-I trons copied it In order to stir an inferior personnel to greater efforts. Great Britain, on the other hand, did not, officially count the victories, of its airmen, The air board was} opposed to the scheme, and rightly

so. War was an impersonal busi-

ness, and to point; to certain airmen

as successful warriors was an un-l fair gesture to ,_the tinquestionuble, valor of the Infantry, the artillery,‘ and other ground troops. All did their duty; why make distinctions ? The designation of “ace, " while romantic, was therefore fundamen- tally unsound because it extended a. false importance to one ‘branch of

the service at the expense of - another. Even today it is difficult“ to obtain information for publica-

tion from the nir ministry regarding

individuals, and the recognized high

morale of the air arm testifies to

the wisdom of this policy.

In attempting to arrive at the‘ number of victories obtained by the‘ aces we are confronted by many difficulties at the outset, and the numbers must always be considered approximate. Confirmation was usually obtained from one of two sources, either from other pilots or balloon observers, or from artillery observers in the front line trench. Occasionally victories were con-' firmed by the enemy. It must be‘

ing himself getting the worst of an encounter would often throw his machine out of control and spin to- ward the earth in the hope of mis- leading his opponent. If lh_e win- ning pilot had to take on a second opponent, as often hnylacned, it was unlikely that he would sce his Iatc enemy recover control ‘near the ground and streak for home.

For this reason both sides claim- ed a greater number of victories‘ than had actually been obtained, and at the close of hostilities the number of confirmations exceeded the number of losses admitted. Compared, the British and French figures show about three victories to each loss, The German official records show precisely the same superiority. -Both sides claimed three times as many victories as' had actually been won! ~
