5211234111 OBSERVANCE

l In view of a recent dscusslnn by City Coirnciilors on the subject 0f gasoline selling on Sunday, it is of Interest to note that in Victoria, B. c, a majority of gasoline station owners have petitioned the City Council to make it compulsory for gasoline stations to close at eght ln the everfng on week days, and

1t is impossible fluae days to pick up a British or United Stats news- paper, magazine or review with- out reading something about the Economic conference and. of course. about Ottawa British newspapers have begun to carry long articles descrlptiv-o of the city on which, a few weeks hence, all eyes will be focused. Some of these articles, which are illustrated by photo-

made in the Case of certain central sfzvions in the city, which would be allowed to remarn open cont-mucus- ly. The draft of the suggested bl“ law has been drawn up by the gasoline dealers, and is receiving considerable press comment. A feature of the proposal is thlt n0 gasoirie shall be supplied to any- body after closing hours or on Sut- day, if at the time he has more than a gallon of gssolineW-n his tank. The Vancouver ~ Province thinks this a “ridiculous” sugges- tion, and asks what a city doctor is

Such publicity is invaluable not to Ottawa alone, but to the entire Dominion. Many of the visiting delegatu are planning to tour Canada dunng their stay here, and even those who remain all the time at Ottawa will have learned a great deal about the various Provincu of the Dominion and will spread th’a inforrnafiou throughout their own conununities when they return

to do who rccelvs a lonB-diilance call in the middle of the flight to go on some errand of life and death. "we suppose," says the Provrmce, "he is to be refused gaso- line at an all-night station because he has a gallon and a half in his sank. Or else that he must drive a- round the city until he has re- duced his mrpply to the legal mini- mumi"

Certainly there are difficulties in the way of limiting the sale of what has become a necessity of modern life .'l‘he Charlottetown

EDITORIAL NOTES

British railway oompaniu have just put into effect a set of new time tables by which nearly 300 trainsarerpecdedupfrofnhalfan hour to fifty mnum on their res- pective schedules. Tho famous Fly- ing Scotsman, for instance. will now reach Edlnb gu from London in seven and a half hourse.

A Portugese inventor has in- vented a machine for peeling ba-

cxy council recently discovered that it had no jurisdiction com- pel restaurants to close on Sunday-i. and if the Vancouver gasoline deal- ers’ P19190511 goes into effect it may also strike a legal snag if i test case is brought into Court. 0n the other hand, there is a ‘general feeling that Sabbath observance is less marked than it was, a genera- tion ago, and that automobiles have had much to do with br-nging this situation about. Drastic legislation is not the solution to the problem. which is one that has given serious concern to thinking people in every part of Ciu-lstcndom.

QKEEP THEM AT HOME

‘- Reference was made in these columns recently to the cirfio as- set of nicely kept lawns and gur- ‘dens. Many of our citizens have bear active during the past few fwccks in preparing to beautify their ‘homes 1n this manner. It was sug- gested that pussers-by, particular- Iy children, should be careful not to tramp over front lawns at this season. But there is a nuisance, rworee than careless children, of oil-rich every owner of a lawn or garden has had experience. This is the deprcdation of wandering dogs. ’As a contemporary exchange re- marks, the most devoted admirer of the canine species cannot make out a case for permlttmg his pet to annoy his neighbors, damage their lawns. bury bcnea in their tulip beds and generally conduct itself like a joyous young colt.

dian wants to know why, when tracking a Brazil nut is still the

dreadful job it is. should any in- ventor be satisfied with the trum- pery achievement of making that easier which is already no trouble at all? Not thus. it thinks, were the heroic virtues of om race de- veloped and prefected. And it docs seem indeed that here is a text upon which a mighty sermon might be preached against the decadence of our times. I

Maritime potato growers are not the only producers who are having difficulty in marketing their pro- duct. A serious marketing situation faces British Columbia fruit grow- ers this year due to the heavy in- crease in the crops. according to the president of the Anociated Growers of that Province. : - 117 fvborts indicate this year's apple crop would show a gain of 1,000,000 over 1&1. which means that a market for 1,000 carloads of British Columbia apples will have to be found outside Western Can- ads.

Removal of tariff barriers before they bring inferna_ tional trade to a standstill; 8. Res- toration to order of the Danubian and Balkan states; 4. Revision within the framework of the Lea- gue of Nations of those peace treaties which constitute grounds for unrest among the nations and threat of eventual war; 5. A halt on the unduly frequent summon. in: of international conferences which arouse hopes only later to produce dlsillusion.

The following, relative to Cana- da's radium policy, appeared in the Wall Street Joumal: "Follow- ing statement by Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, government leader in the Senate, that government control of radium production and conserva- tion is having the ‘immediate and earnest’ consideration of the gov- ernment. Maj. Gen. A. D. McRae withdrew his resolution for ap- pointment of a commission prelim- inary to government taking over the radium deposits at Great Bear Lake. General McRae urged that stops be taken so that control of the Great Bear Lake field not fall into the hands of foreign interests now in control of the African ra- dium supply."

Slr Herbert Samuel, the Home Secretary, states that in the last three years more British people have lost their lives in the peace- ful trafflc of the highways and town streets than were lost by the British armies in the Napoleonic wars, and this year 20 per cent. mOre people have been killed on

lthe roads than last. Speed is large-

ly responsible. and Sir Herbert says that if there were some slow- ing down to the customary speed of motor traffic, satisfactory re- sults would ensue. There are two million motor vehicles in the coun- try and the Home Secretary ap- peals for a general feeling that "to drive fast is not done." This moral persuasion should have an effect on the majority, and as for the contrary minority the police will have to look after them.

Reported outbreaks of mutiny In the Japanese navy. and in part of the arm, add to the gravity of the situation created in Japan by the assassination of Premier Inukal by half a dozen men wearing the unl- forms of the anny and navy. The crime, making the third violent

ese public life within recent months. appears to have been committed in a spirit of perverted patriotism and by extremists who demand that they call a "second restoration." Constitutional gov- ernment, they hold, has been bro- ken down by corruption of politi- cians and extreme means have been adopted to establish a new State. Their idea is supported by the confession of a number of young men who were associated with the bombing of various build- ings at the time of the attack on the aged Premier. When they gave themselves up they declared they were members of the Young Offi- cers’ Association, a body which de- clares it is opposed to weaknggg and corruption in government. As the members are likewise opposed to capitalism there is evidence of Fascist influence being directed to overthrow constitutional govcm- ment in Japan. '

To-day it is quite a common sight to sec thousands of apples lying under the trees. sometimes. but not always, to be food for farm animals. _

It js true that certain varieties are carefully picked and find a good market abroad. but hundreds of thousands of barrels of 517F193 go to waste every year in Nvrtll America

It is hard to understand why apples are notused more, eaten raw, in salads, in plea. baked m‘ roasted. The old 5834118 318$ l" apple a day keeps the doctor away 1; really true, yet 1t would seem that because other from, some of them coming from distances of thousands of miles, are brought to our attention by advertisiHS 0T other methods, that the reel value of the apples ls forgotten.

Aside from its vitamin and food value, which compares very favor- ably wlth most other fruits, it has an especially helpful action on the intestine.

Dr. W- Schrleber, Berlin, shows that in acute and catarrhal in- testinal ailments including the common dyspepslas, an apple diet causes a change in the large in- testine so that the helpful organ- isms thera are increased and the harmful ones decreased._

This means that ' those miser- able symptoms that_ accompany some forms of dysentery, diarrhoea, gas formation. and severe gas pressure, are relieved by the use of apples. _ , _

Of course it cannot be denied ‘that there are some individuals ‘who cannot eat raw apples without getting a stomach ache. If the apple ischewcdpslowly this can often be overcome. However the majority of people can eat, a baked apple without fcclirrggfitlje slightest distress, . . Just as vitamins have the-power to make" two foodstuffs give more nourishment when taken. together

than when taken separately, so the

apple seems to have the power to strengthen the helpful. working organisms in the la-“ge intestine t0 act with more strength on the waste matter of the large intestine, and tolesaen the power of the harmful organisms,

It would be a good health habit wherever possible to include apples in your daily fruit intake.

Planting Millions Of Trees

(Canada Week by Week.)

Not only are farmers in western

Canada busy these days seeding grain and other crops, but many of them are also busy planting trees to form shelter belts amimd they homes and farm buildings. It is estimated that about 3,500,000 trees will be GhlPPGd l0 farmers 1n the Prairie Provinces th's spring from the Canadian Government mm. try Stations at Sutherland and m- dian Head, Saskatchewan, to 3.300 farmers. The seedling trees are supplied free, the farmers paying the express charges. The trees meet in demand are caragana or Ser- bian pea tree, which make excel- lent hedge-i. Manitoba maple, ash, popular willow. In the past 25 years millions of trees have been given away annual- ly by the Canadian Government t0 farmers, with the result that most of the farms on the prairies now have a shelter belt of trees. which in addition to sewing as a wlndbreak also conserve the mo‘s- ture and make a decided contribu- tion to the beauty of the home surroudlngs.

Appar- ently his time could have been spent to better advantage studying railway freight rates in Canada. The tariff structures of our rail- ways are very complicated and to the ordinary individual it is dffl- ctrlt to understand why such a number of different rates should apply to the same commodity. There are export. ordinary, community rates. etc.

However there are two rates in frequent perhaps general use; one for export and one for internal traffic.

Generally speaking the export rate is not more than half of the in- ternal rateeglfedealerhereships a car of potatoes to St. John for export the railway will haul car to St. John and place it at the steam- ers sde for much less than a alm- ilar car will be taken to St. John and delivered there for local use. Generally the difference between the rate on grain or feed from west- em canadattfanvbolnt in the run-mums for" local use and the rate on the same commodity to Halifax or St. John for export ex- ceeds the water fre‘ght across the ocean. ‘This is the conditbn durlfl! the winter monthsJtisstill worsein summer when steame can go up the St. Lawrence, and load grain 8t Mufti-cal."

The men in charge of the Provin- clal Department or Agriculture for many years past should. I believe, have ndeavoured to remedy this condition. Apparently our err-minis- ter of Agriculture does not know these things-and therefore has not endeavoured to remedy them.
