Many important ls await execution in the field of town planning. The most important. per- haps, concerns the question of whether to encourage the growth of large ‘cities, of satellite towns round existing cities, or of wholly new independent towns. No experi- ment is really needed in dealing with the first of these three alter- natives: the last hundred years have done the experimental work and found us ‘the answer. And the answer "is in the negative. Above a certain point, which in any case is

Notwithstanding the body's abil- ity to withstand all sorts of care- lessness on our part, tliero is no question but that oven s, slight shift away from the alkaline to the acid condition causes the body to be attacked by organisms which are always in the body but seem to do no harm as long as the blood and tissues are at the right alkaline point.

SHAKESPEAREPS ART

It is not unusual in the Old- country for a statesman to be a literary critic, and to profess his fondness for great literature in public. In tlris country we have been drifting away from the asso-

" elation of ideas which connects art with politics. It came therefore as a surprise to many people when ‘senator Iideigben, en route from

"Australia to Toronto, spoke at Vancouver on "Rho Gccatest mrglish- Hman in History" and took f0: his theme William BhskeSPBI-TQ-

"Since the basin-nine o1 the de- pression, it was apparent to some men who were charged with the responsibility of government, and. to some who were not, that the ec- onomic system would never again function efficiently unti‘. certain changes and corrections had been made in it. A year ago it was felt that the time to initiate reform measures had come. some who had theretofcre steadily questioned the efficiency of phe old system in pre- clgely its old form, thus obtained a confirmation of their views. and some who had always maintained that the old system hould be left alone were compel , by ‘iiiwll- trovertible facts. to re-cast their opinions.
