Notes By The iVay

The Fathers 0f Confcdarefion held their first moetingm gnu-log. tetown, Prince important historical fact that must never be forgotten. Here is the his-

deliberated together, as recorded in the bronze tablet on its well. They went hence to frame the great fab- ric of a united British America, and if as the memorial records, "They buiided better than they knew,“ it was here that the great idea first as- sumed a definite form. , - _

It was Bir Samuel Leonard Tiliey, a Maritime statesman, who, impres- sed by reading the Scriptures, wn- iceived the thought that the new Na- ition, destined to extend from ocean to ocean, should bear the name of the Dominion of Canada.

It was Robert Harris, of whose ‘memory our City and Province will ever be proud, because he received This early education at Prince of 'Wales College, and ywas chosen to ,paint the great Picture of the Fath- 'ers and performed the work so ar- itistically. He embalmed their forms ‘and features with his ‘brush, and ‘made them familiar to present and ,future generations of patriotic Can- ladians. 4

so far in this recspltulatlon there ,is a Maritime flavor, and there is ‘something yet to be recalled. In Mr. Harris‘: great painting are the linia- ments of thirty of the Fathers, and of these twenty two were Maritime statesmen. _

Seven were delegates from Prince Edward Island-Him. Messrs. Ooles, Whelan, Col. Gray, Heviland, Mac- donald, Pope and Palmer.

Seven represented New Brunswick -l-ion. Messrs. 'I‘illey, Mitchell, John- son, Chandler, Sleeves, Gray and Fisher. ‘

six representing Nova Bcotia were —l-lon. Messrs. Tupper, Archibald. Dickey, Henry and McCulley.

Two representing Newfoundland were Hon. Messrs. Sheaand Carter.

All of the above are pictured in the great historic painting of the Fathers of Confederation. Perhaps when our friends in the big Central and Western Provinces, which have pros- pered so greatly under the terms of Union, come to reconsider the facts above stated they. may relch the cpnclusion that Maritime Btatesmen iplayed no inconslderable part in lay- ing the foundation of the Dominion and in giving it the name by which it ls known among the nations of the world.

When a Conservative Government was’ in power years ago, and the Washington Government suddenly raised its tariff to exclude Canadian cattle our Government, seeing that iCanadian stock producers in Alberta {and elsewhere were subjected to ‘heavy losses. came to their rescue. It imade an arrangement with the banks by which the Government rc- "couped the atockraisera‘ losses until they could find smincressed market for their cattle in Canada and else- whera abroad. '

A blow st Canadian producers is a blow at Canada and the Ottawa Go- vernment should take nois of it and take action accordingly. But what has been the action of successive Liberal Governments in regard ‘to such matters? They have done noth- ing to ward on’ or resent these at- tacks. They have gone 0'11 reducing the tariff on United States products coming into Canada until now the value coming into the Dominion Ex- ceeds by $400,000,000 the value of-all that the Dominion is permitted to market in the states. >-

The King Government is appar- ently well satisfied with this condi- tion of affairs, but now that a. heav- ier blow against us is being launch-

In examining recruits for overseas service, the condition of the heart was perhaps the outstanding point to be watched,

to the minute were given a further examination later in the day or a day ' or two later.

If the recruit could do a special ex-

ceriding a short stairway at a certain rate of speed. and the heart came back to its normal beet within two minuffl. even if that were 90 to l00, he was accepted. If it took longer than this‘ to return to normal he was rejected.

Now there are a number of factors that cnter into this matter such as the age, the height. the weight, the occupation. and so forth.

For instance 1t has been found that c. man at his best. roughly speaking, has a working ability of one-eighth 11°F“ POWBL; and a woman one- eleventh horse power,

A man's best is usually at thegage °1 ‘W911i? 867511. and a woman's at the use of twenty four.

Before and after these ages. there is not the same power,

As mentioned before, the heart o1 the trained athlete oi hard manual worker beats from six to ten times less than the non worker. His heart 15 5° Bifvns that it needs fewer beats to do the ncessary work.

In fact in examining professional 50x6“. and swimmers, 1t was no; unusual to find the heart, after txer- ciao. come beck to its normal beat within one half minute instead of two minutes,

And even where there is a munnuy 0f the heart, showing a, "leaky" van/e if the heart comes back to normal in the two minutes the heart is consid- ered strong.

ROOM FOR. SPECULATION

Insofar as the problem particularly affects or may hereafter affect the Canadian National, there is room for much interesting analysis and spec- ulation. '

When it is remembered that the National system operates e. land mile- age in the neighborhood of, 23,000 miles, serving the Dominion from ocean to ocean, connecting up each of the provinces, crossing the interne- tlonal border, and radiating to all parts of this vast country, it will be realized that s study of air trans- port as it affects the Canadian Na- tional system represents at the same time a practical Dominion-wide sur- vey and appraisal of the situation.

A great deal of study has already on this side. been given to this question by our passengers and express officials, They guy, 5ND A";

have widely investigated and have closely examined the whole situation. Their field of study covered tho ex- perience gained by rail carriers with existing air services, both on this cou- tinent and in Europe.

They have particularly considered if and how aerial services may be us- ed to effectively implement those pre- sently offered by the National system through its railway lines and stemi- ship routes.

There has been, m a somewhat lim- ited extent, an effort to tie up our rail service with air transport, These ‘efforts have been chiefly confined to operations in territory Along the northern line of our system, formerly the National Transcontinental. At several points along the railway in this territory commercial organiza- tions have placed planes to operate between the railway and places in the intérior which have become known through mineral operations. There are half a dozen of such services in Northern Quebec, Northern Ontario end Northern Manitoba, and they have undoubtedly done a greet deal of good work in reducing the time required to reach objectives, and in lessening the difficulties of travel that the use of canoe or land routes would have involved. The railway co- operated with‘ their commercial avid. tion organizations by making known their services, their basesand their fares. To digress somewhat, the air- plane has been of great valus in thess northern parts of our country by get- llnl PYNDBoi/zirs and experts into likely minerll country in record time. “FOUR?! the extensive use of the Pllne I Int deal has been added w our knowledge of the great northern
