It is not to'be trifled with, Guessing at the condition of pipes no longer in service will not suffice, It's chief terror comes in the hours of sleep, Then the waking brain, lulled to dream- ing 'oblivion, does not realize until too late, if at allj that the fumes are abroad and that death is near, Further, in gas tragedies, it is rare that the careless are alone the victims, Children fall Lefore the same grim assassin of the night, Their innocent sleep merges into death's eter- nal calm, FHE MEANS TO A GREAT END Efforts both within and without their party to commit Conservatives to & Quebec-baiting policy were wisely met, so far as the riding executive of South Ontario is concerned, by the lccal leaders of the Party who convened in Welsh's Parlors Thursday night. Congervatism is handicapped by both its friends and its enemies, but if people of either doseription think they are serving any other id than civil bitterness by fomenting ill-will er differences of opinion and conviction be- n Provinces, thén such again need to take blie school course in history. he principle of two-party democracy in nada has no value unless there are, actually, vo parties, A Conservatism not broad enough » see in the citizen of Quebec "A Canadian peaking French" instead of a "French- Janadian" is not entitled to the status of a 2arty. By the same token, a Liberalism that cannot respect the burning loyalty of those whose veins boast British blood, and admit their fears for the racial future of this country are too often justified by official indifference and the evidence of sinister influences at work, is alsh not worthy of either Government or Opposition, Local Conservative leaders back from Winni- peg admit having gainad a broader outlook on Canadian life and its problems. So much is clear gain for all to which honest citizenship aspires, To know is to understand, The'quickening received at Winnipeg and the inspiration of new leadership promises to result locally in a number of activities. A general Consegvative Club for Oshawa is to be formed. Therel'is talk of a special section for young men, éven for boys in the later "teens. Depend- ing on the amount of interest shown by the Consegvatives, there will be a corresponding widening of effort by those of opposite opinions. And so long as Party Leadership realizes and ifists that its loyalty to a Party is merely loyalty. to a means, not an end, designed to make a io Canada, then all this proposed effort is highly commendable to its sponsors and a matte¥ of self-congratulation to the city at large, ; WE AND THE NEW EUROPE Evel traveller returing to this continent from tour of Europe, however circumseribed, k impressive stories of the develop- in the field of commercial aviation. reports, confirmed from other sources, regular schedules maintained between capitals and industrial centres of Europe, and the safety, speed, and ty of these services is commented on to the prominent part played by aero- the Great War, the Canadian public to regard them as, chiefly, instru- ese flying wings a hint at least of the meagjrably horrid ible part which they may v if the "pc t wor" when and if it may ; is 2 now conception abroad ; ihe acis of the aeroplane, and that ) RS that it i % doing for Biifope what sallvays did for the United States and, a little later, Canada. ; The comme:xcial aeroplane knows no front iers. Its passengers ave mot subjected to the annoyance 'of highly nationalized and, in the past, often highly venializeé customs services at every borderline they may cross. Its swift. ness brings Rome, Berlin and Warsaw as close to Londen as, formerly Edinburgh, Liverpool and Dublin were. Paris is already as close to London by air as Brighton is by ral. The converse of these pro- positions is also true, and many see in the breaking down or surmounting of land frontiers an earnest of better understanding and homogeneity for all Europa. The transcontinentals did more to bind the United States together than its constitution. anc the links of Canadian unity are of visible steel bearing the traffic of its two great rail- way systems. If Europe finds peace in its airways instead of war savage beyond imagination, then his- tory will have vindicated the Wright Brothers as humanity's greatest benefactors, not the fathers of its cujreme curse. 11 "GHES DECISION Former Ju:iice Charles E. Hughes of the United States Supreme Court has made a re- port to that august body which, while taken at first glance to be favourable to Chicago, is actually favourable to no party to the dispute about lake water diversion, Navigable bodies of water within the United States belong to the Commonwealth, Lake Michigan comes under that title of ownership because it, alone of the Great Lakes, is entirely within the territorial limits of the Republic, Mr, Hughes, accordngly, rules that the War Department had authority to permit Chicago to divert lake water to its own purposes, It should be borne in mind that Mr, Hughes was not dealing with the question of right, but with the question of authority, The United States Supreme Court is also powerless, perhaps, to deal with the question of right in the matter. Certainly not with re- spect to Canada's rights, but possibly it might hand down a decision bearing on the rights of States bordcring the Great Lakes in the mat- ter, Canada's position has been generally clari- fied and entirely in the interest of its national dignity, Its protests, henceforth, must be lodged with the responsible party. Not with Chicago or against Chicago for what it is do- ing, but wi*h the Unit ' States as a Federal entity for what it allows Chicago to do. A century or less ago, such an issue would have had the makings of a husky war. Today, the worst that can happen is to refer the cause to international arbitration. HONORING SIR HARRY LAUDER Those that lcve to gibe at Scotch thrift will doubtless consider it something of an empty honor which Edinburgh has just conferred on Sir Harry Lauder--namely, the Freedom of the City, However, the comic Burne of Scotland will probably rate that honor only second to his knighthood, for the Freemen of Edinburgh is indeed an illustrious company, nor has its fame been lessened by addition of Lauder's name, w, finds it hard to understand, though, how Socialist" councillors objected to granting fe honor on the ground of Lauder's stage speeches against the dole and his alleged buf- foonery of Scottish character. That sort of socialism is merely ridiculous unless its adherents really want community of 'ideas as well as of goods, or if they are narrow enough to belizve that the world laughs at Scotland for any other reason than that the world loves Scotland. That is to say, laughter that springs from amusement. Only the things we care for amuse us, whether the traditional Irishman or the kilted McHaggis from Skye, There is, however, the laughter of contempt, and its slow derision can have no fairer object that the "Socialist Councillors of Edinburgh" whose humorless hostility bespeaks men who oppose, not for progress, but merely to be con- trary. Bit of Verse I BELIEVE 1 am not wise or beautiful, I am not very dutiful, But I have faith and I have love, I have a soul great things to prove. And I have eyes that I can see The lovely, things surrounding me. And I believe that every day God walks with me upon the way. I am not wise or beautiful, I am not very dutiful, But I have eyes and I have ears, I have a mind to conquer fears. And I believe that God made man To help Him to complete His place. And I believe that every day God walks with me upon the way. --Laira Bedell. The OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. SATURDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 26, 1927 (Registered in accordance with the | Copyright Aet) n das. 'W. Barton, M.D.) RELAXING THE BODY If you were to watch an expiri- enced, well-trained boxer, you would notice that when he is hitting at his opponent or guarding his op- ponent's blows, that his muscles and face are tense. When he is simply "on guard". neither hitting nor guarding, his muscles and face will be in a relaxed condition, be- cause if 'he kept "tensed" all the time he would soon be exhausted. One of our weak points as inhab- itants of this Western Hemisphere is our inability to relax properly. We are somewhat inclined to smile at the placid, calm poise of the British, and yet a little more of this poise would make life worth more to all of us. Why? Because this hurry, bustle, contin- ued tenseness of mind and body, i just what is wearing out our middle aged men and women, We sit back and calmly state that the life span is longer than ever before, and yet there are more mid- dle aged individuals die, in propor- tion to the population, than at anv previous time in history. And this is just because of this constant tenseness that is ro wearing on mind and body. Many cases of nervousness and exhaustion are due, in part at least to the fact that the patients Lave never learned o relax. Now, this matter of being able to relax the muscles of the body, and i thus to some extent the mind also can be developed by a simple meth- od that was suggested at the last meeting of the American Medical Association, The patient is .instructed to lie quietly, ahsolutely flat on a couch and then to contraetr or tighten gach group of muscles uf the whole body, one group after another. As soon as a patient knows how the various groups 'feel' when they are tightened, he is instructed to Yslagee or loosen the tension of the various muscles, one group after an- other, beginning at the feet until the sensation nf "tightening" is en- tirely lost. This should be practiced daily for half an hour at a time. 4 Just developing the "feeling" absolutely relaxed muscles, be of help in slee plessness, ARREST 71 YEAR OLD CARETAKER Simon Lovelace, Bloomfield, Held for Bothering School | Children of should Belleville, Nov. 25.--Prince Ed- ward County has again leaped into the lime-light as a result of the ar- est of Simon Lovelace, seventy-one- vear-old caretaker of Bleomfield Public School. His arrest was effect- 'd yesterday after two months of in- vestigation on the part of the Pro- vincial Police of the headquarters staff at Belleville, Lovelace, who is an uncle »f James Lovelace, High County Con- stable for Prince Edward, is charged vith indecent assault on four little sirls of the school, ranging from ten | o fourteen years, pupils of the cheol. Lovelace, who is being rep- esented by Fred L. Ward, of Picton. was arraigned before Magistrate Levi Williams at Picton and pleaded 10t guilty to the charge. Crown At- 'orney Allison, of Prince Edwazd, tated that he was not yet ready to roceed with the case and it was en- 'arged until Friday, December 2nd. it two o'clock. Lovelace's brother agreed to sup- oly the necessary sureties of $500 'or the accused's bail and he was riven his freedom. Stories flew thick and fast around Bloomfield in the month of Septem- Yer and as a result of preliminary nvestigations by the Prard of Edu- ation in the village, Lovelace was lischarged from service. The Pro- vincial Police were notified and jergt. Clarke commenced an inten-' ive investigation with the result' hat Lovelace was apprehended yes- | erday. The offenses are alleged to have been committed during the nonth of September. i The children complained to their »arents of the treatment and the lat- er informed the members of the Board of Education. Mr. H. Y. Coop- | or and Mr. S. E. Mastin have been sarticularly interested in the case | 'nd their efforts were chiefly respon- ible for Lovelace's dischage as care- aker of the school.

Mr. Coolidge believe: Congress cannot, therefore, be de- prived of this power by any treaty, but he does think a treaty expresc- ing a declaration of policy is pos- sible. of war, BE Rd iii The President indicated a desire to engage in conversations with other nations about such treaties, believ- ing that considerable good would concentration upon the subject. However, he does not see the way clear for a general conference of the nations on the subject of outlawing war. If treaties are to be negoti- ated, he thinks they should he made separately between Governments, In this connection = Chairman Borah of the Senate Relations Com- mittee today advocated that the principle of the proposed treaty to outlaw war between France and this country be extended to negotiations with all 2ther leading world powers, including Great Britain, Italy, Japan and Germany. There are indications that a gen eral conference of these nations on this subject would be desired by gome Congressional leaders. She Failed fo Dissuade Him A Of pleasant summer evening I was discussing Mutual Life Insurance with a farmer, seated under a tree in front of his house. The farmer's wife kept coming to the door to call him. She was averse, he told me, to his taking insurance, having other and, in her opinion, more pressing uses for the money. Fortunately, his own better judgment pre- vailed. Two years later, he died of pneu monia, leaving his widow with a mortgaged farm, several small boys and a fair-sized Policy in The Mutual Life of Canada. That Mutual Policy was the anchor which saved the farm and kept the family from drifting apart. By its aid, she was able to keep Re wi and educate the boys Let a Mutual Agent show you how to safeguard your family's interests. MUTUAL LIFE OF CANADA 3ateies ntario FRANK V.
