Oshawa's General Hospital, proves 4 shin- ing, exception to that rule. Its financing, which has been so largely a matter of private gen- erosity,. has certainly -merited nothing more than public gratitude. Its administration is known to. be of: the highest order as to person- nel and the character of service rendered. ; Net, at its. meeting 'Tuesday night, the Board of Directors authorized a survey. The public i is left to state the intention of that sur- vey which, evidently, is to make good condi- tions better; to make efficiency more efficient ; and, in general, to do all that can be done fo insure the institution against any slackening anywhere in its noble work. | OSHAWA'S GROWTH More significant than the assessment com- migsipner's . report. that Oshawa's population total now stands at 20,516 residents is the fact that population in the past twelve months has increased by over eighteen per cent. If that rate could be maintained, Oshawa womnld have: well over 380,000 inhabitants in 1980. Moreover, authoritative predictions have been made that ten thousand new -people will have come to Oshawa by the end of 1928. Such rapid civic growth might cause alarm if'Oshawa were in the throes of an engineered "boom.". Such is not the case. Qshawa has- n't a Chamber of Commerce; its former Board of Trade is moribund because its members, in- dividually, were literally too busy to worry about new industries. But having passed the first twenty thousand mark, Oshawa might well take breath long enough to realize that the coming décade is go- ing to do more to Oshawa than the one that has passed. Destiny is going to force it into the big city class; duplicating, at least, east of Toronto, Hamilton's position to the west. To call the local Board of Trade "moribund" is perhaps as untrue as it is unflattering. The men-are:still on the roster are alive in every sense, andl it is perhaps in order to suggest that they might hold a meeting. And if no better reason for such an assembly is at hand, they might meet to witness the fact that Oshawa has 'thrived under the "absent treatment." SYNTHETIC DEGREES What is civilization, after all, but the wisdom of the ages? It has been a slow and painful recess to get learning, to get knowledge, and then to winnow from learning and from know- ledge the wheat of wisdom which with all man's efforts i is a sparse harvest. Someone has said 'that civilization has not yet begun. It is that ideal which tends towards the millén- "There is but one standard of measurement, and that imperfect. The universities through the: -ages have tried to establish what is true a 5 in useful knowledge. Salamanca, Bol- 'Radua, Heidelberg, Oxford, Cambridge; , Queen's, Yale, Harvard and all the and modern educational foundations ve each held the torch high to the end that Re e and light may be diffused through- nt t orld. 'It is, therefore, very necessary that this oftin ord shall not be lowered. Students who toil . h - college courses taking coveted degrees, should not have these cheapened by » conferring of them on men whose service 0 education and humanity does not merit pA gs should the Hires of doctor of laws be given to some private or public citizen who has contributed nothing to law? Honorary degrees "the standard of human knowledge, imper- ugh that standar is. It is the best 'an should not be. cheapened by promis- enous distribution. When P.c:idznt Cleveland was offered tha # degree of doctor of laws by Harvard Unjversity . he refused on the "suspicion" that the offer was actuated not by any contribution of his to law but by the fact that he had. been elected * president. If all men and women acted ac- cordingly, university 'degrees would mean something and the population of "professors," "doctors" and "bachelors" would be decimated. To THE SUB NOT YET OUTLAWED There seemed to be a fair possibility at the time of the Washington Armament, Conference in 1921 that something could be, and would be, done about the submérine. Public opipion had bgen aroused against it. Military authorities were convinced that it could not be used effec- tively as a weapon without violating the laws of warfare as the Germans violated them. The , movement was towards an agreement for total abolition. . In the end, nothing was done except to adopt a pious resolution on the subject. French opinion was that the less wealthy nations should be permitted to take advantage of this relatively inexpensive weapon, and France im- mediately embarked upon an extensive pro- gram of submarine construction. The Geneva ; three-power conference ap- proached the subject with little expectation that the submarine could be outlawed. A feeble attempt was made and failed utterly. The movement got no farther than the suggestion from the United States that it would not be unfavourable to, its consideration if all other naval powers could agree to abolition of the submarine. The point is that the submarine is of little use save for preying on enemy commerce. But it cannot do so within the limits of the rules of warfare, which require that the crews and ' passengers of unarmed vessels shall be rescued from torpedoed ships. This is a good rule which civilized nations will not lightly abandon, na matter how much it may have been brokesn be- fore. There is yet some hope that the nations of the world will outlaw the treacherous under-sea craft before naval powers again engage in war. If the armament conference accomplished noth- ing else, they kept the crimes of submarine be- fore the public, which in itself strengthened the case against it. Statesmen cannot hold out forever against the will of the civilized people of the world. WANING In order to arouse public opinion to co-op- eration with them, government administration agencies are prone to exaggerate conditions, so the report of the United States Public Health Service that addiction to and traffic in nar- colic drugs in that country are waning rapid- ly is doubly impressive. The dope evil is one of the law-proscribed evils which the public never qquestions and for the abolition of which the public does not regret paying taxes. According to government statistics the num- ber of dope addicts in the United States has been reduced during a brief span of years from "264,000 to less than 150,000. According to the Public Health Service, that country "may confidently look forward to the time, not many years distant, when the few remaining addicts will be persons taking opium because of an in- curable disease and addicts of the criminal type." Reports that the appetitite for narcotic drugs is spreading rapidly among school and college students are refuted by the government service, which announces to the contrary that addiction among persons under the age of twenty years is virtually unknown. It depends on how well a man is known if he can create an impression by seeming to be in a hurry. y If it were literally true that a woman could be two-faced there would: probably be no ob- jection from the cosmetic trade. 5 Many persons are not able to attract atten- tion by doing something useful, so they do something foolish. Defender of the sex says the girls of today have it all over Helen of Troy or Cleopatra. The girls themselves refuse to argue the ques- tion, however. - They simply admit it Bit of Verse OCTOBER _ By Alix Thorn.

Staff Reporter) Whitby, Oct. 13.--Charged with keeping a disorderly house on Dun- das street east, in the town of Whitby, Harold Pain who was ar-; rested on October 9 appeared in Po- li%é Court last night. The prosecu- tion produced one witness who con- féessed to having frequented the vlace, and a statement made by one of the girls to Provincial Constable Cookman and Chief of Police Gun-| son, after her arrest. The girl ad- mitted telling the officers the mat-' ters contained in the statement and acknowledged her signature but said that owing to a nervous condition, she was not aware of what she was signing, and denied every improper thing mentioned in the statement. Pain claimed that one of the girls' was his housekeeper and that the other girl, who signed the confes- {sion was visiting his home at the invitation of his housekeeper, Col. J. F. Grierson, Crcwn At- torney, was not willing to proceed with the cases against the two girls 'ast night and the Magistrate with- held his decision in the case against Pain. The matter will be resumed | next Monday. The Crown agreed to allowing bail to the two girls, two sureties of $500 each being demanded, Bonds- men for one of the prisoners were secured last night and defense coun- sel promised additional bail for the othér tomorrow. : HOLD FAREWELL PARTY FOR DR.

She fed it , and gave ii a drink of water, the bird eating out of her hand. It hop- ped around for about fifteen min- utes and then flew away. It is a strange thing to hear of a bird so tame as that.
