All over the Dominion that terrestial saint will become the object of men's homage and veneration, ; There is a dispute in progress as to who originated the idea. For the rest of us that is unimportant. But it is easy to under- stand why any person responsible for so in- spiring a thought should cherish the credit for it and yet nothing could be more unlike a mother than to squabble about whose was the credit. Ha One need only consult one's own. experis ences and seek in vain to recall a single in- stance when mother sought credit for the. service and love she bore her kin, The home: may have looked especially tidy, the' meal may have been unusually tasty, : th covers might have been tucked with ial' care, the sick room may have been comfart- ed by her almost divine presence, yet not in a single instance did she claim credit for it. Mothers find their satisfaction in something else, It will be an odd son and daughter who permit Sunday to pass without some message, some greeting to the living mother or with- out some love-tinctured remembrance or tri- bute to the mother dead. From the mother- less everywhere to the mothered child any- where goes the counsel to dedicate Sunday to her honor and her service, OF SCHOOLS AND FASHIONS The streak of the conventional which keeps men from expressing their own ideas for fear of seeming peculiar is never re- sponsible for any of the great creations or accomplishments in the world's history. Fashions in art, music, dress, and the like do not foster individual genius, but serve rather to depress and engulf it. J, G. Huneker went so far as to say that "There are no schools in art or literature, only good writers and artists, There are no types, only individuals," This is a cheer- ing word from one who was well able to pass an opinion on the subject; and it may perve as a warning to those enthusiasts who pre all too eager to follow the hue and cry pf a new fad in the fine arts. The attractive thing about a fashion is that its features are plainly apparent to " the one who would follow it, and he has to do little or no thinking from mental activ- ity and creative thought will be found . among the ones who most closely cling to the accepted "school" or fashion. The individuals who have reached achieve- ment in their chosen field have done so be- cause of patient unrelenting toil, together with the conviction that their message is peculiarly their own and hence worthy of beautiful expression. WORLD AGRICULTURAL CENSPS Under the direction of the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, a world agricultural census will be taken in 1930. Leon M. Estabrook, former chairman of the United States Crop Reporting Board, is di- rector of the project. Everywhere he has found a willingness to cooperate, During the last quarter of a century, only thirty-seven nations have taken an agricul- tural census, and they represent less than "half the land area of the world and only about 30 per cent. of its population. Never in history has there been made a compre- hensive survey covering the products in all the countries of the world wherein' facilities to do the work exist or can be created. Few needs are of importance equal to that of food, yet the world has no idea what its actual food supply is, or what its poten- tial food resources may be. Nevertheless, Jearned scientists gravely assert that the world cannot feed more than 5,000,000,000 people, a population figure that will be reached in another century if present growth continues that long. _ Possibly, after stock is taken two years 'hence, 2 more pleasant picture can be pre- AN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 12, 1920 | : survey is the discovery of mew food sour- ces, there doubtlessly being many foods man has not learned to eat. CONQUERING A SCOURGE One by one, medical science is discovering methods of eliminating terrifying human * maladies. Smallpox is no longer an inévi- table curse. Diabetes has been brought un- der control through the discovery of insulin. Now infantile paralysis gives promise of yielding before a serum, The research pioneers in medicine deserve universal gratitude. Among the scourges which have visited humanity periodically, none has been more feared than infantile paralysis, scientifically known as acute poliomyelitis, Not only is the mortality rate from the disease ex- tremely high, but, it also leaves in its wake a long line of maimed and crippled victims. It took ten years of research and experi- ment for development of the serum for the treatment of this dread disease, In 1916, Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, head gf-the divi- gion of experimental bacteriology of the Mayo Foundation, began experiments. Af- ter several years' labor he succeeded in iso- lating the micro-organism that causes the disease, and with this organism he pro- duced a similar disease in rabbits, He learned 'further that it was possible to im- munize a horse against the organism, and that a serum made from its blood, properly immunized, had the power of preventing development of the disease in the rabbit. This serum has lowered the mortality rate from 29.5 per cent in untreated cases to 14.4 per cent. in treated cases, It has also been further observed that residual paralysis has been greatly lessened by the gerum treatment. EDITORIAL NOTES Most persons have come to regard pov- erty as a handicap instead of an incentive, Alone a man can stand up for his rights; but he must organize to find new rights to stand up for. : A normal man is one who thinks he would look better if the barber had cut his hair differently. An executive is a man who thinks the lunch hour means an hour and forty-five minutes, All plans to save the country begin with the assumption that all things are possible to one who has access to the treasury. Ability to mix well brings more dollars than scholarship, an investigator contends. The mixer usually has need of more dollars, too. It is estimated the United States coal supply will not be exhausted for 3,000 years, at the end of which time there will be' no more cos] strikes, Bit of Verse i OUR MOTHERS Written for Mother's Day By H. J. Pettypiece Oh miracle of wondrous love That gave us life and breath; To pring us each into the world You risked the pangs of death. You watched our steps along the path Of childhood's erring way, And guarded us from every sin That would our lives betray. You held us close when we were ill As anxious moments sped, You prayed to God to spare us then - And take yourself instead. You gave your boys in freedom's cause, In war's terrific hell, And suffered anguish more than they. Who in the conflict fell. The human family owes to thee All that we hold most dear, Without thy glorious motherhood Our race would disappear. The greatest love mankind has known; The best for human good; The nearest love to love Divine Is found in motherhood. Pose Sahrang; oR pt 'What Ot Others Say BUT IT CAR CARRIED (St. Catharines Standard) © ~ There was a big row in Parlia- ment yesterday over the vote of | $70,000 to provide furnishings.and fittings for the proposed ; nee of His Excellency, Lord Ning don, in Quebec City. The argu- ment of the Conservatives that if Quebec secured such an additional residence for the Governor-General every other province should have one Is fairly sound. Jt- was not a compliment to the loyalty of the French-Canadians when some of the Quebec Members stated that the idea was to bring His Excel lency into closer touch with the French-Canadian race, by having a summer residence for him at the Citadel. On the whole, there is no reason why the Governor-General should have two residences, and the protest was justified. But the vote was carried by a majority of 11. SAME OLD TRAFFIC (The New Yorker) A young clubman - tells us this about an older member of a Fifith Avenue club. The latter, it seems, has been out in traffic only once or "twice since Armistice, preferring to sit by window and look out or doze. The other day, however, he made a sally about noon and, somehow or other, reached the corner of Forty- second: street. To his sarprise traffic in all directions. was at a dead halt. "Thank God," he said, "they've got it in hand at last" and stepped out into the street, Strong hands seized him, including those of a pelfceman, and forced him batk to the side- walk, A fire engine--our gentleman's sight and hearing are not what they were--was rushing up the avenue. The younger member says that his colleague proceeded straight back to his club, resumed his chair by ' the window and declared that he would not appear about town again for an- other five years at least.
