Something more than a change of location is necessary if vacationists who are able to take only two weeks from their work each year are to get the best results from the time, There should be as nearly as possible a complete reversal of the activities of the individual during his employment at home, 'The surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service says that indoor work- ers should make as nearly as possible a com- plete change to outdoors, and that workers in the open will find their greatest recreation in reversing the conditions with which they are familiar in their employment, The fact is that very few persons are ov- . erworked physically, but what they need is a change of environment that will give them the mental relaxation that is necessary if the keenness for their tasks is to be restored in the brief time usually available for vaca- tions, There should be a minimum of sug- gestion of the job which has been temporar- ily abandoned, Vacation should be a definite change from vocation, and unless this can be secured to the maximum degree much of the value of the period of relaxation will be sacrificed, The person who can manage to adapt him- self promptly to conditions that: will pro- duce the desired results may count himself fartunate. It should not be necessary to suggest to any one the wisdom of carefulness in the matter -of eating and drinking when on va- cation, That is taken for granted. Mere physical rejuvenation will not be possible at its best unless the mental attitude of the vacationist. towards life in general has been quickened by. contact with places and indi- viduals, Ee 4 "." _ MIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY ' The animosity that exists between drivers of public and private, large and small motor vehicles is present in every community and discernible on every highway. In every case it arises from the same fundamental cause --+the fa¢t that the driver of the bus or truckis inclined not to respect the rights of others, The bill of indictment drawn by the pub- lic against bus and taxicab drivers contains sich eounts as usurpation of the middle of the\ thoroughfare, intimidation of private operators by the bulk of the public vehicles, incessant and unwarranted horn tooting, ex- cessive speeding and ignoring of traffic signs and warnings. Operators of private automo- biles also offend frequently in these respects, but in the case of those operating public ve- hicles it seems to the public that such driy- ing has become a matter of policy. Owners of bus lines and motor trucks doubtlessly. preach caution and courtesy to their drivers, but where there is no personal liability there is likely to be irresponsibility. Moreover, it is like human nature for the driver of the big bus or truck to expect and take the right-of-way and more than half the road. Because the driver of an eight-ton wehicle feels his machine is equal to any en- counter with a passenger car of a fourth its weight, it is not beyond the realm of possi- bility that the reckless truck driver may be 'the most careful man behind the wheel of a 'light automobile. |. Automobile drivers cannot insist upon more than a 50-50 arrangement with the truck and bus drivers, however, for when the bus stops a dozen or more passengers » - viav he delayed andthe motor trucks new an important part of rapid transit. - EXPLORATION LESS HAZARDOUS Polar exploration may not have lost all its dangers and hardships through substitution of aircraft for ship and dog-sled, but the experience of the Italia's crew would indi- cate that polar explorers are reasonably safe if they travel by air and Keep in touch with civilization by air. But for the Italia's radio, the world might never have heard from No- bile and his aides after their craft dropped upon arctic wastes. This is an entirely different world from the one in which earlier explorers set out in balloons to find the pole. The Andree ex- pedition, which left Spitsbergen in 1897, was never heard from again, The Ornen carried five tons of food and full equipment. Sev- eral governments sent out relief expeditions over a period of several years. Sir John Franklin's expedition had a crew of 129, Years later several graves and num- erous articles were found and then the un. buried bones of the last few survivors, Were such a party to be lost today, radio and aviation would make the chances of res- cue good, Sabine Point, in Grinnell Land, where Greely suffered untold hardships for three bitter years and where a few starving sur- vivors were rescued in 1882, is only a short flight from Etah, Greenland, . Through the radio a stranded exploration party can be located quickly, and once the location is known aircraft can effect a speedy rescue under most conditions. Science and invention are making this world a small place indeed. : DESECRATION ! Epicures, gourmets and gourmands should join forces in blocking a pernicious develop- ment which threatens to bring a historic piece de resistance of the culinary art down to the lowly level of those modern confec- tions that appeal to the eye but as gustatory blessings are rank failures, These forces should be joined in defense of the strawberry shortcake, which, in modern vogue, looks more like a bouquet than an article of food, This degradation should be properly scored as an imposition upon the public, Those unfortunate victims who have been deluded into testing so transparent a fraud have discovered, to their dismay and dis- gust, that the basis of this strange thing masquerading as the strawberry shortcake is sponge cake, without shortening, soft and mushy, and without a single claim to hon- esty. Can anybody he taken in by such a fraud and subterfuge? Possibly there are people who do not know that the underpin. ning of a properly made shortcake is crisp, and not sweef, and covered with crushed berries, fresh from the vine, to be eaten with cream, preferably whipped, Something should be done to enlighten be- nighted folk who do not know the good, the beautiful, the true. This outrage against an unsuspecting humanity should be exposed and loudly protested against, Indifference to such insidious influences leads to tragic consequences, The line should be and is now peremptorily drawn at manifest effort to desecrate the strawberry shortcake, EDITORIAL NOTES " Free men: Those who tax themselves to hire agents to make them behave.

And some are right well satisfled in single status to abide And pluck the brow and rouge the face and go the merry flapper pace.

"If the horrible record of week-end fatalities continues to mount, many motorists will make these home days instead of seek- ing recreation in the now so popu- lar motor tour." A great many motorists have reached the -conclusion that little pleasure is to be had from' Sunday outings. The crowded highways make driving a task instead of a pleasure and the necessary con- centration entails both mental and physical fatigue. The ever-present fear of catastrophe mars the sense of responsibility that should char- acterize a holiday outing and a party returns home more jaded than refreshed by its jaunt into the open spaces. It is an unfortunate condition all round for which Sunday is the only day in the week on which many men can enjoy the society of their family. It is the one opportunity of a holiday together but a large percentage of car owners shrink from exposing wife and children to the dangers of the road. The last week-end was marked by several serious accidents and as traffic increases with the advance of summer there will probably be more. The safety campaign being conducted through the country has served a useful purpose in Impress- ing drivers with a sense of re- sponsibility but there are thousands who will go' their way regardless of caution or consideration of others. In the meantime the opin- ion is growing that insofar as Sun- day traveling is concerned, "to stay at home is best." OLD TRICKS MADE NEW (Border Cities Star) Baseball is a tricky game. Tt is the tricks and the dodges of quickethinking players that have made the game what it is. The plaint of many an ardent fan today is that the game has become ton mechanical, that the tricksters of the old days, who played as hard with their heads as with their hands, have no rightful successors, This is not entirely trpe. There are still the geniuses of rapid thought, as is being proven oc- casionally. One proof came 'this season in Toronto. The Toronto team was playing Rochester. Burke, former Detroit second baseman, got a pass to first hase. Warren Cote, .the smart little French shortstop, fol- lowed him at bat, Cote tried to bunt for a sacrifice, but the bunt was badly. placed. It rolled down the first base line, just inside lhe: chalk mark. Burke was forced to hold first, but as Kelly, the Rochester first baseman ran up the line to field the bunt, Cote raced for first, in an evident attempt to 'beat it out." ' There was not a chance. Kelley ad scooped up the ball, and stood di- rectly in Cote's path, about three feet from the base. Cote almbst reached him. Then he stopped suddenly, turned, and raced back toward the plate. Kelley, taken off his guard, chased him up the line with the ball in his hand, to tag him out. Burke im- mediately raced to second. Kelley had but to step backward about two paces to: the base in order to put Cote out and hold Burke on first. Cote's quick think- ing, however, : turned a useless bunt into a sacrifice, and incident- ally made Mr. Kelley look rather silly. . NEWSPAPER CONTROVERSY. (Ottawa Journal) ~The Journal having credited a certain statement to Rev. Father Meehan in an address here, Rev. Father J. J. O'Gorman wrote us a letter to imply that the report was incorrect. Rev. Father O'Gorman's letter contained 3,500 words, or about three columms of Journal print. The Journal respectfully re- turned the letter, pointing out that The Journal article complained of contained only 600 words, and that The Journal would welcome a let- ter in reply from Father O'Gorman of similar length, and would al- ways be glad to give him as much space as it might use itself in an argument. : Then Father O'Gorman sent us a letter which we printed, though considerably over 600 words it is as follows: "As, instead of publishing the first and much more complete res ply that I sent vou, you linrited me to 600 words, the above must suf- fice for mow." We ask to be pardoned by Fath- er O'Corman if we venture to point out what the other letter might have led to. The Journal first pub- lished an article of 600 words, Father O'Gorman replied with 8.- 500 words. Nearly six times as many, If The Journal had retorted proprotionately, we would have had a moral right to use six times as many words as Father O'Gorman, namely 21,000 words. Then Fath- er O'Gorman eould have corres- pondingly replied with six times that, namely with 126,000 words. We could further have properly re- plied with 756,000 words, and up- on that Father O'Corman would true, including the final paragraph' Banking is Universal Wherever goods are bought and sold, Banking simplifies the trans- action, Whether you buy or sell, at home or abroad, you can benefit by the service which the Standard Bank of Canada has perfected during over Fifty Years of 'constructive banking practice. ; E.
