THEY KNOW TOO MUCH =" This business of searching out facts and prranging them so as to develop theories and conclusions from them; this business of science, in other words, has been a great benefit to mankind. Sometimes, it seems, however, that the \Beientist goes a little too far in his zeal to carry the torch of reason into hitherto un. explored areas, There is a realm of fami. liar ideas and phenomena which, in the opin. ion of some persons, ought to be safeguard« ed against intrusions on the part of this re. lent-inquirer. There is, for instance, a vast body of childhood legerdeémain of a therapeutic na- ture--intricately devised remedies for nose bleeding, toe stubbing, wart removing, and things of that nature, which the scientist can never hope to approach with the respect to which such prescriptions are entitled in view of their ancient origin, These things do not harm, and they furnish infinite de. light to the juvenile practitioner, If you have stubbed your toe, the pain is at once eased by rubbing the stubbed toe with a small lump of cobwebs gathered in a barn and wadded up conveniently for the applica- tion, To stop nose-bleed you swing around your head a dead rat on a string securely tied to the tail of the deceased rodent. Of such is the delightful medical folklore of childhood, But what chance does this folklore stand against the patient but re. lentless inquiries of a scientist? i A BIG YEAR FOR AVIATION LJ . The aeronautical industry turned quickly toward capitalizing public interest incited by the thrilling performances of the last year or two, Equally spectacular undertak- ings are . contemplated this year, which doubtlessly will command major public in- terest, In the wind are transoceanic, polar, endurance and altitude flights, But the most important developments to come will be those having to do with utili. zation of what is already known regarding the airplane and what will become known as the result of further experimental flights, Adventures in the heavens will - continue to engross public attention, but that in which there will be the greatest permanent importance will be inauguration of commercial air lines and popularization of flying and plane ownership, Clarence D, Chamberlin believes firmly that the next generation will take to the air as easily and naturally as their fathers have taken to the automobile, In proof of this he tells of a boy of eleven who successfully piloted a plane after only a 'few minutes' instruction, While other representatives of the aeronautical industry are laying. plans for huge multi-motored air lines for com- mercial operation between distant points," . Chamberlin is turning his attention to the small plane, the flivver of the air. Flying is now passing through a stage in its development which compares with that , period in automobile history when owner- * ship was restricted to the wealthy. It was also said of the automobile that it would never come into general use. ad Wp + VAIN HOPES ,- History shows that the head that has once worn a crown and lost it rarely ceases ° to hope for a turn of fate that will restore the crown and reestablish the exile on his throne. It would be in ageord with historic pre- cedent if such a hope should both plague and console Germany's exiled emperor until the end of his days, a pathetic hope shared oy # lonely old outcast with his few re- maining loyal followers. None doubts that Kaiser Wilhelm still entertains the hope of some day returning to his Germany as its monarch. German republicans are so certain of this they look with suspicion upon every word or act re- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1928 . twisted mustachios must haunt and mock the fallen ruler! To all who have retained a mental picture of him they are a charac. teristic feature, a symbol of his lost power. Standing before one of the old flamboy- ant paintings of himself that hang on the walls of his study at Doorn, Wilhelm Ho- henzollern must be torn by sharp pangs of regret for the part he played in his own undoing. There is a suspicion that the old portrait and the new photograph placed side by side would reveal a man made less haughty and selfighyly ambitious by ten years of suffering and loneliness. av amg EDITORIAL NOTES = You can't always tell. A three-day growth of beard covers many an honest heart. The man who has sought and found hia ideal sometimes wakes up to find it is some- thing else, Some people indulge their appetites in the things they enjoy, and some keep good health, Almost any good doctor can discover what is the matter with the patient if the patient is tongue-tied, No man is a hero to his valet, it is said, but then a man who has to have a valet may not be heroic, Story of a rich man's life; Forty years wondering how. to get it; 20 years wonder- ing how to get rid of it, The old-fashioned orator used to make his appeals to the "plain people," but that was before women voted, Working too much will get you the same as loafing too much, Germs don't care about how important you are. The Arctic region, where the nights are six months long, is probably where good mosquitoes go when they die, Sometimes the truths which a man's friend tell make him more uncomfortable than the untruths circulated by his enem- ies. If the Old Man tells him to put on some garters and wear a hat when he goes out in the evening, he says his parents don't understand his inner nature, From Sandburg's Life of Lincoln: "The entire cost of Lincoln's nomination, including headquarters, telegraphing, music, fares of delegations and other incidentals was less than $700." Bit of Verse FATHER'S DAY--POOR OLD DAD You can scarce pick up a paper And its "Poet's Corner" scan; But you'll see a pretty poem Extolling Mother's Day--a splendid plan; But you'll have a time of searching And your eyes be aching bad, Ere you'll ever see a poem Writ' in praise of poor old Dad. No, it isn't wilful of them Those who write of Mother dear That there is no notice taken Of her "old man" sitting near; No, it's never meant to slight him But it seems a little sad-- All the bouquets made for Mother, Not one bloom for poor old Dad. True, our Mother's watched about us i Till her dear old eyes would ache, But old Dad he toiled to feed us Till his back was fit to break Mother prayed about our cradle Gave devotion--all she had; Still it wasn't "milk and honey" All the time for dear old Dad. Do not take one line from Mother, When you write the soul-sweet song But if there's a word for Father Now and then it won't be wrong Poor old soul; He's bent and wrinkled, And I know 'twould make him glad If, while you are praising Mother, You'd say a word for poor old Dad. ks --Mrs. L.

L] LJ] » By Renrut, VALUE OF MUSIC FESTIVAL (From the Woodstock Sentinel- Review) It has often been said in recent years that Woodstock is a city with- out a real appreciation of good mu- sic and the lack of support accord- ed for high class musicians and sing- ers would seem to bear out this state- ment, It was not ever thus, howevef. Time was when this city was looked upon as one of the leading musical centres of the province, with a strong appreciation of choral music, and with musical organizations which played a large part in the develop- ment of the finer things of culture in the city. Unfortunately this spirit has been allowed to die out, and it has died because of the lack of sup- port from the citizens generally, Now it is only on very rare occasions that a local organization will dare to sponsor the visit of a vocalist or musician of the first rank, for their ventures, in the last few years, have been far from successful financially. In the respect of developing a taste for good music, Woodstock might well take an object lesson from the neighboring city of Strat- ford. Last week a great musical festival, in which competitors, both individuals and choirs, came {from all 'parts of the county of Perth to compete, was held there. It arous- ed tremendous interest, and the peo- ple of the district flocked to Strat- ford to hear good music, splendidly rendered by well trained artists. It was a splendid demonstration of the fact that the people of a community can be educated to patronize music of the right type if there can be found those people who will under- take the work of education. What was done in Stratford can be done with equal success in Wood- stock, providing the right people can be induced to foster the musical fes- tival idea. Woodstock and Oxford county have individual soloists and choirs which will compare very fav- orably with those of any other part of Ontario, and they are well-trained and under good leaders. They would welcome the opportunity to present to the public just such a pregram as was so greatly enjoyed by the peo- ple of Perth County. It could not be expected that immediate success would attend the effort.

Barton, M.D. 8 4% MORE ABOUT ULTRA VIOLET RAYS You arc reading almost daily about the ultra violet rays of the sun, and of their effect upon tubercular child. ren, and children afflicted by "rick. ete" or softening of the bones, That the alkaline reserve 1s kept high in the body by these rays of the sun is one of the discoveries that is helping us to appreciate something of what the sun means to all of us. Two French physicians, investigat- ing the cffects of ultra violet rays on children, tell us that in normal chil- dren the alkalinity of the blood tends to reach the adult value. In young children who are suffer- ing because of faulty food, thus not getting sufficient nourishment, the severe acidesis is arrested by these rays and the wasting process stops. It would seem that these rays af- fect the whole organism, because ev- en where the child is getting the best possible food for his p articul ar con- dition, it is only when subjected to these rays, does he get from these foods the real amount of nourish- ment they should give, You will re- member th at this is about the way the vitamins in the foods are thougiit to act. They scem to make each food strive to give its last vunce of nour- ishment to the body, *Their action is not unlike the af- fects of a mutual friend introducing two strangers. before the introduc- tion each one stays by himself, has nothing to say, in fact scems un- sociable in the extreme. After the introduction all that is sociable, kind, jovial, unselfish, that is naturally m cach one of them, comes to the sur- face, and cach oc thinks of the oother in an entirely different light, They give their best And these rays not only help each food to give its best, but because most of -eaclr food is used by the cells of the body, there is therefore less waste, less acidosis of the blood. And you have learned something of what it means to the be ody to have an increascd amount circulating throughot ) And now that Ro are dis scoveris Ig that certain kinds of clothing will permit these ultra violet rays of the sun to penetrate them, the day is not far distant when you 'will be able to get the full benefit of these wonder- ful rays, which make the cells of your body do the lincreased amount Of work, thus giving you the full value of any food eaten. In children and adults whose recovery from ailments is slow, the use of these rays from artificial lamps has proven of won- derful benefit.

What Others Say A CONFUSION IN TITLES (London Bystander) Viscount Hardinge, who - came over specially from Canada to give his sister, the Hon. Ruby Hardinge, away at her marriage to Major Beaumont Nesbitt, has been aide-de-camp to Viscount Will. lugdon, the Governor-Gemeral of Canada, for the last eighteen mouths or so. He is one of those unfortunate p.ople who receive combined birthday and Christmas presents, he having been born on Christmas Day twenty-two years ago. Lg The first Viscount Hardinge was Governor-General of India and a Fleld-Marshal. With his viscount- cy he was awarded a pension of £3,000 a year for three lves for his military and civil services to the country, That pension died with his grandson, the late Vis. count Hardinze, the present peer's father, who when he was in the Army was always known as "Punch" Hardinge. Lord Hardinge's mother is a cousin of the present Marquess of Abergavenny, and his uncle is Lord Hardinge of Penshurst, who was Viceroy of India at the time when the King and Queen paid their visit to Delhi after their accession, There was sometimes confusion owing to the two brothers, the late Viscount and Lord Hardinge of Penshurst--having the same title. When a barony was conferred up- on Sir Charles Hurdinge, as he then was, at the fime he was ap- :| pointed Viceroy, he wished to take the title of Lord Penshurst, from the beautiful village in Kent where the Hardinges have their family seat, South Park, But the late Lord De L'Isle and Dudley objected as the title belonged to alla -- t18iky the title already belongdh to his family, and lis objection being accepted by the authorities who control suh matters, Sir Charles Hardinge became Lord Hardinge of Penhurst, Both brothers lost their elder sons in the war, This brought the viscountey to Lord Willingdon's youthful alde-de-camp, and makes Major the Hon, Alexander Har- dinge, the King's assistant private secretary, heir to the barony of Hardinge of Penshurst, WHO STARTED SHAVING? (From The Fergus News-Record) Our old friend, Alf, Dass, now edi- tor of the Gravenhurst Banner, prints each week a column or so of type headed "Some Gossip, Wise or Otherwise," and the writer signs himself "Free Lance." Last week the subject of shaving was tackled hy Free Lance, and he wonders who it was first started the fashion, His guess is Alexander the Great, He continues: "It is said in the course of his many battles he had neticed what a convenient strap the beard provided on which te hang with the left hand, while the right was used to cleave the skull of the beard's owner. When he (Alexander) had grasped the full extent of what this meant in wars of the period, he or- dered all his troops to shave off their beards." Free Lance is wrong about the origin of shaving. Usually we hesi- tate to be so definite, especially about matters that happen so 'long ago as that, but in this case we are quite sure, We won't discuss the in- cident about Alexander the Great, although even this appears to be a mistake, If we recall correctly, our gossipy old friend, Herodotus, men- tions the beard cutting incident, but it was fastened on to the very an- cient Medes or some of those other warring tribes of long ago. But there is a much handier ref- crence to early shaving than that, Just look up Genesis xii 14, which states: "Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastilv out of the dungeon; and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Phara- mend their use B.
