Twenty Ways To D O Make A Million

(Condensed from The Forum- Roger W. Baboon.) .

Human progress seems to manifest itself in s series oi dynamic spurts. now in one field oi eflortmow in an- other. Just now we are living in an age of lavish discovery of physical laws.

Prom time to time 1 have jetted down "hunches" about what might be called “things waiting to be dis- covered." In this article I proposeto list 20 of these hunches, any oi which might create fabulous fortunes for the men who will succeed in working them out practically. All of them are things the world needs; and since necessity is" the mother oi invention, there is good reason whe- lieve that they will become realities.

"But the hero worship did not. hold," he said. “Last Friday night told the tale. Then in Conservative Toronto there were only 2.700 people to hear Mr. Ferguson in Massey Hall." On the other hand Mr. Sin- clair declared that “the Liberal cam- paign had progressed from a modest beginning until it had been felt in every comer oi the province." "Tory Ministers," he declared. "were now fighting desperately to save their own ridlngs. The captain and the otdoers had‘ taken to the boats, and left the crew to look after themselves."

Mr. Sinclair also felt confident that 57 Liberals and l0 Progressives would be elected, a total of 77. leaving no more than 35 seats to the Conserva- tives. It turned out quite differently

As a student I was taught that the Flu was done to a certain organism, as the first idemic was away back in 1889, and this organism had been discovered in the Flu patients at that time.

It was not until 1918 that another epidemic swept over the world and you will remember that thousands o! these cases went on to a broncho- pneumonia, then the heart became affected, and very many died. This epidemic started in the summer months, August and September.

The form of Flu that came along last year (1928-9) was a little differ- ent as it did not spread all over the

The building instinct seems to be inherent in all animal life. With humanity it began many centuries ago. Thc 100,000 slaves who built the Pyramids on the banks of the Nile finished their labors thousands oi‘ years before the dawn of European civilization. From the prehistoric cavc dwelling to the mediaeval cath- dral. from the box of bricks of a two- year-old to the twenty-storey sky-

ty-and out oi the total of 112 lVLr. Sinclair found 9 Liberals elected while Mr. Ferguson carried 92 seats.

All of which goes to show the ten- dency of party leaders to‘ place a loo high estimate upon the support which they expect to receive in an election. and that what the electors will do with their ballots at the- polls i5 always uncertain until the count is made. There is apparently adeep movement in the minds oi the Can- adian electorate which within the past few years has made important changes both in federal and pro- vincial affairs. all indicating aweak- ening and decline in Liberalism from coast w coast.

The human soul is oi more import- ance than Pyramids and skyscrapers. Hence an old grey cottage where has proceeded the daily round of family life, the joy and sorrow, the feasts and funerals. avrakes at once the keen interest of every thoughtful mind. For here something else was builded than these walls and win- dows that once were new and the de- l light of the first dwellers.

Premier Rhodes has roughly forc- cast a scheme oi government control oi’ the liquor traflic in Nova Scotia, designed to include the best features of the control plans in other pm- vinces, to b: handled by a non-par- tisan commission. A force oi pro- vincial poiice or constabulary will be created to ensure effective enforce- ment. But after he has prepared his bill and got it through the Legis- lature he will have to fight one or more elections to secure its perman- ent. operation. as Premier Ferguson has had to do in Ontario.

Premier Baxter has denied that there have been any negotiations be- tween the three Maritime Pro- vinces preparatory to merging the three provinces into one. This would be the last link in'a chain oi events designed to blot Prince Edward Island off the map.

6. New sources oi power-from the sun, the tides, and the heat of the earth. Today the world's two prin- cipal sources of power are coal and falling water. Both of these are seccndary sources, deriving their en- ergy from the sun. Coal is nothing but a reservoir of energy stored up _by the sun ages ago. Water power is made possible by the sun's draw- ing up water from the oceans and depositing it on mountain tops. Some day we shall learn to generate power direct from the sun. the tides. and possibly the heat under the crust of the earth. ' '
