Rad this decrease of 40 per cent. taken place in exports to Empire countries as well, then the exports in the Empire in the latest 12-month period would only have been about $170,000,000, instead of $324,000,000, as is actually the case. These few figures would seem to be substantial proof that the Ottawa Agreements have been of great help to Canada's export trade."

Time is n great healer. It takes the sharp edges of! our grief, it helps us to fit into new situations, to forget our troubles and our cares. to face life with new courage and faith. For all these gifts from its hands we should _fi profoundly, ev- eriastingly, grateful. But time does something else for us that is not so good, something whose hurtful in- fluenoo in our lives we should gilard against somewhat painstakingly. It helps us to get reconciled to things that we cughtnt to get reconciled to, to be patient with things that we ought to get very cross about; it wears down our opposition and re- sistance; it allows us to lay down our arms when ou. warfare should be most relentiem and persistent.

British medical science Is in fdl retreat, bswitcbed, bewildered, beaten. some obscure disease, y may think, traced in some r‘ corner of the liar-flung Empire, has baffled our best Brains. Wrong! It is the common cold, that attacks three out of every four men, women and children. It is the ordinary’ sniffling honor that costs the country fifteen millions a year in lost working time. And the Medical Research Council abandons its search for a preventive in despair. This will not _do. The search must go on, not only to reduce colds, but to avert the dangerous complications chat so often follow-London Bun- day Dispatch.

There is something decidedly hn- presslve in the picture of a man standing by his principles and 2on- victions at serious cost to himselfu, Pea-naps many of us have never had a call or opportunity to do such a thing, and are fully convinced that if w. demand were made of us we would not fail to measiue up.

business conditions during 1030 will show a marked improvement over 1934, is the opinion of Mr. Fred C. Moore, President, New Idea Fur- naces Ltmited, Ingersoll. Mr. Moore bases this forecast on existing con- ditions in his own industry. This company reports i004 sales as nearly double 193a figures, and that the number of employees has been increased by 30 per cent. Mr. Moore

also states that a definite indication oi’ business improvement in associa-

ted industries is shown by the greatly increased tonnage of grey iron castings that his firm is pro- ducing for manufacturers who do not operate foundries.

the Brilsh Government asking that something be done to lessen the road noises. He said that the skill of the s -- was almost lost as far as the patients were concerned beca the patients were unable to rest. And as the doctors and nurses living in the hospital were likewise unable to rut owing to road noises the eflic- iency of the hospital was _ tly lessened.

As an experiment the secretary of the hospital occupied for a night

‘Ibough in full health and strength the experience was a nightmare; a total of 40B passed Jn six hours. These included heavy motor vehicles such as milk trucks.

As you know the Minister of Transport then forbade the use of motor horns from 11.90 o'clock at night until ‘I o'clock in the morn- ing, within five miles of a central point-Charing Cross.

The success of this law has been so great that the regulation for- bidding the sounding of horns or other instruments of warning is now in force in all the built-up districts in Great Britain.

"It is noteworthy that this sil- encing by night of the warning noises of automobiles has not lcd to any irwrease of accidents."

Now it is impossible to get rid of all noises but a oolmnittee of scien- tists and motor manufacturers has been appointed to consider and re- port on the principal causes of noise in motor cars and the steps to be taken to limit them.

It is certainly most gratifying to see that in the large city of Lon- don the great harm noise can do not only to hospital patients but to the entire population, is nqw rec- ognized. Noise is a shock to the nervous system, tensing body and mind, thus causing tiredness and lowered vitality.

Your entire body is covered with muscle in fact muscle up the biggest part of you. Noise, by caus- ing you to tense all these muscles, in which the brain must also do its part, brings on fatigue hours ba- fore it would otherwise come.

Herc in Austria. we have the spectacle of a Fascist government doing its utmost to suppress Naai-isnn-m.
