THE CAB FERRY MUDDLE

‘The l‘lrst news in two months rc- garding the new car ierry, published in Saturday's Guardian, will be received with surprise and disap- pointment by everyone in this Province. since the announcement by Bir Henry Thornton on July 3nd that tenders ior the new steamer would be called ior within a iew days, tot a word has been heard regarding lie progress oi the work. but it was ielt. despite the silence ci the Liberal representatives and Liberal press on the matter. that every e1. Iort was being made to complete the plans and begin construction at the earliest possible moment. The statement oi the Minister oi Rail- ways on May 30th last in the House oi Commons. that tenders would be called beiorc very long and that, it was (expected the boat would be de- llvered Within fifteen months, was supplemented by the visit here oi Mr. Duguid, marine designer oi the I-‘ederal Department, and his state- ment that "the policy oi the Depart- ment was to expedite the calling Ii tenders as soon as possible in trder that the new ierry may be leldy to handle next year's crop." Phone assurances were accepted as iuthoritative, and it was conﬁdently Ipected that the new service would la in operation by the iall oi i930 it the latest. Even this date, in view I the ma!!! delays since the original lppropriation oi $1,000,000 had been voted in parliament, was regarded is a belated one; but it was never lreamed that an additional year would elapse beiore the work would get under way,’

The Guardian, during the past two months. repeatedly called attention to the need o! continued Vigilance on the part oi our Federal representa- iives and Provincial Government in keeping in close touch with the Department oi Railways and in iur- aishing to the public. irom time to time, whatever information was available as to the progress oi the work. This suggestion went unheed- ld. Ii the Liberal members at Ot- iewa knew anything oi what was going on. they said nothing about it. ‘The Provincial Government appears to have washed its hands com- pletely oi the matter. The assurance oi the Minister oi Railways and the ,0 ‘oitheP ='n"--i Railways, hailed at the time as evi- dences oi the generosity with which the MIOKOIIHG‘ King Government was treating the little Province oi Prince Edward Island, had lulled the people into a ieeling that all was going well; and the elected repres- lntatives oi the Province both at Ottawa and at_home, whatever in- ado information they may have had io the contrary, remained discretely ailent.

Now comes the report, through Kr. l". M, Bclariders, honorary sec- rotary oi the Maritime Board oi Prado, that the new car ierry will not be ready beiore 193i. The in-

iormation was received irom the Department oi Marine and Fisheries. and the reason why it came through a Board oi Trade ciiiciel is particu- isriy signiﬁcant. rt was. says the Oanediau Press, "in answer to a dairy iorwars by Mr. lclanders in up action on a strong res- , or the Prince Idward Island _ at the annual meeting oi

ior tenders? Or are they content that the promised steamer should be kept dangling beiore the eyes oi the electors on the eve oi the next ied- eral election. thus serving to beiool the people ior another iour years? 1i they had any auch intention, the vigilance oi the Maritime Board oi Trade has gone iar to upset their calculations. Knowing the iacts. the people are likely to demand a iull and searching investigation. and the parties responsible ior the continued delay in bettering our transportation service, whether they sinned through negligence or with malice aiolethought, will have to race the sequences.

A LERABY SUGGESTION

The suggestion has been received irom a citizen keenly interested in the subject that the new Public Libraﬂ and Memorial Gallery now being erected on the Market Square should contain not"only a museum oi pro- vincial intcrist but a section devoted exclusively to Prince Edward Island literature. At present there are vol- umes in the Public Library dealing with the history and geology oi the Island, as well as iietion and other works by Island authors, but doubt- less ovdng to the limited number oi these books and also to the. lack oi room in the present building, no spec- ial provisioh has been made ior their accommodation. ‘Ihe new library building will aiiord suiiicient spun ior this innovation, and it is one which might well receive careiul con- sideration by the oiiicials in charge.

A section oi the library devoted ex- clusively to Island literature would have many advantages. It would be a source oi great interest to tourists and other visitors, and would be oi much convenience to Island students. Starting with the books" now. on hand, it could be expanded in course oi time into a most valuable collec- tion. There are many volumes oi considerable historical, scientific and literary interest dealing with Prince Edward Island which are not avail- able in the present library, but which might be secured, either by purchase or by donation, ii provision were made ior their acoommodati-n.

A public library in a province such asthis cannot compete in number oi v ‘ with the libraries oi larger centres. We cannot hope in keep up with the output oi modern ﬁction which the printing presses are turn- ing out today. The acquisition oi a complete selection oi modern hia- torical, biographical, ociological and scientiﬁc works would be a_n even more expensive undertaking, and it is

We must be content, by ludicious selection irom among the vast number oi books, old and new, which merit attention, to cater to the taste oi the general reader and. wherever possible, to improve this tssteiiy inciting interest lo the great classics oi literature which all lib- raries possess but whicifare so sel- dom seen oi! the bookshelves.

Alarming news irom Jerusalem un- do! date oilebtombes 8.14M that Emir el Hussein, ‘Grand Muiti and President oi the Supreme Moelm council in Jenualcm. had warned ore-t Britain that 00,000,000 Moaiems in Egypt. Syria, North Airica and Arabia are on the verge oi revolt. The Emir has been an opponent oi the British mandate since its incep- tion. and it is reported that he has the ability to swing the Arabs into action.on the plea that the British and Jews must be icrced out oi the Holy Land and the adjacent terri- tories. Ho has the allegiance oi many poweriui shciks.

There are persistent reports that Col. T,.E. Lawrence is again in the Arabian desert. British oiliciais have denied that he is in Palestine. but there has been neither denial or coniirmation oi» Oeiro despatehea that he hurriedly leit, under a dis- guise. It _is said that he has grown a beard and is travelling in the hab- iliments oi an Arab. having iull knowledge oi Ania language and cus- toms. During the war he continu- ally wore the long, .haad shroudirlg oi a desert ehieitain. not only as a means oi keeping himseli inconspicu- ous, but also because that iorm oi dress is the only one serviceable in a desert where the sun and sand burn and whip by day and where bitter cold winds cut to’ the bone atnight.

In iniormed circles col. Lawrence is held to be the only man capable oi meeting the threatened revolt, and it is generally believed that on con- ditions becoming serious. the soldier- diplomit was ordered by the Colonial Omoe to make an eiiort to maintain peace among the tribes who, ii leit alone, would‘ inevitably throw intheir lot with the Emir.

TheJews are quite numc in our Canadian cities. especially in Montreal and Toronto. They are naturally dist _ ‘ by the serious troubles in the frontal --’- oi their ancestors. and. moreover; many oi them are quite indignant with the attitude and action oi Great Britain as the Mandatory Power in control o_i Palestine. Mass meetings oi the Jews in Toronto were announced to be held on Wednesday last, and The Globe in its issue oi that day print- ed '_'A Judicial Jewish View" oi the situation. It/beginse with the state- ment that- _ ' t

Britain explicitly guaranteedthe

restoration oi the Jewish National homeland and Britain will honor her bond. '--- ~

But The Globe goes on to point out that the war was ended by the gen- eral acceptance "oi President Wil- son's "iourteen points" which points included the right to salt-determina- tion by tha peoples, and it is obvious that ii Palestine were given this right oi sell-determination the Jews would retain no standing whatever.

As you know the washwoman in the home or at the laundry endeav- ors to get the clothes as clean as pos- sible and to the degree that aha gets them cleaned. we claseliy her as good. iair. or poor. _

Now as mentioned beiore. the wash- woman oi the body, that washes your blood clean, is the liver, and so your liver can be classiiled as good, iair or poor.

One oi the expressions that you hear ircquently is "sluggish liver." This means that the individual has a liver that ll a little "slow" with its work, so that the blood does not get washed oi its "impurities" as rapidly as it should.

This would be called a "iair" liver.

One cl the natural impurities that is in the blood due to the work oi the cells are doing all the time, is lactic acid.

Ii the liver is doing its work prp- perly it will not allow the amount oi lactic acid in the blood to get too high. Ii it allows the lactic acid or other impurities to increase too much it would be classed as only a "lair" or even “poor" liver.

A poor liver is where it is doing _such poor work that it bccomesdn- ﬂamed as also does its appendage the gall bladder, and so the skin becomes jaundiced and oiten gall stones are iound in the gall bladder. _

Now where there are no symptoms oi jaundice, no pain irom gal] stones, no will: and yet your doctor sus- pects that the liver is to blame (or your "tiredness" or lack oi ambition, he can now make I very gimplg us; and ﬁnd‘ out ii the liver is realLv doing its work.

One ci the extraordinary things about these strange times is the vogue achieved by certain‘ books through what is known as Baliyhco. Oi this. phenomena. hardly credit- able to public discrimination, there are illustrations galore. All oi us re- member when everybody was raving over Hutchinson's “Ii Winter Oomcs." a ‘third rate story. badly Written, at times hopelessly ilull. and with ian- tastic, impossible characters, thebook became a crass. l Supposedly great critics hailed it as a masterpiece; it became the text ior sermons; and society women purred over it. Not

meancr. It was not until serious critics exposed its shoddincss, and others subjected it to ridicule, that its popularity waned. Today. who ever hears 0d poor A. B. M. Hutchin- son?

Some months ago an American lady wrote a book about the South Bea Islands. Purporting to be the woman's own experiences in tiiePa- ciiic. and written with a certain raci- nesa. it achieved a marvellous suc- cess. According to the reviewers, no- body, not even Etevenson. had ever so caught the spirit oi the Pacino; and the Book oi the Month Olub. which ought to have known better. took the volume to its bosom. Then. however, a curious thinghappencd. A gentleman who had travelled wide- ly in the South Bess. wrote to the Book oi the Montnclub and pointed out that certain things which the author had included in her book could not possibly have happened. that she was hopelessly wrong inher geography. and that the whole book

let alone lived in. any oi the islands she described. The outcome, to make a long story short. was that the woman sdmitied\that she had never been to the South‘ Bea Islands at all, that what she had written was made up irom what she had read in books written by others. It was a bad black eye ior the Book oi the Month Olub.

There was the case oi Emil Lud- wig. Ludwig. aiter producing‘ his "Bismarck" and his "Napoleon," was hailed as a genius. Copying the style oi Lytten Strachey and Andre Mau- rcis, and with the advantage oi be- ing a. German, which is supposed to stand ' ior scholarship. he became something ‘oi a. cult. People raved over him and read him and eulogiried him, and it was not until, puiied up with vanity, he essayed to write a Liie oi qhrist. that the critics turn- ed upon him and exposed his lack oi scholarship, his unscientiﬁc methods. and the worthlcssness not only oi his "Christ" but oi his "Napoleon." Journ- al readers wilirecallhow Mr. Martin Burroil. marshailing all the historic- al documerlts, demolished particular- ly "his "chapter-on Napoleon's experi- ences atist.

Herr iii-rich Maria Remarque de- clared thathcwasretaiiingiiisown experiences as a private in the Ger- man ermy in i011 and i018. He wrote with a certain vividness; al- most trick writing; and immediately theaiilsodcriticshailedhisstoryas a masterpiece. This, we were told over and over again, was the book oi the war. Here. said the review- ers, is the truth at last about the war; and it was even hinted that what Remarquetold oi the German army was probably also true oi the Allied armies; that British "and Canadian soldiers were also the apiritieas driven sheep depicted by this German,
