Ballding, Temperance 2 REPRESENTATIVES IN 0.6 Powers and Stone, Inc), New York and Chicage, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1928 TEE ' HEROISM Conduct in emergency, most persons will agree, is beyond the control of the individ- ual, Not until the actual emergency occurs can the individual be certain what his con- duct will be, He may keep his head, ac- complish his task and face death with a sub- lime courage, He may exhibit powers of which he himself was hitherto totally un- conscious, Such a person the public wor- ships as a hero, Or he may lose his head and fail to grasp the great possibilities of the moment, A few perhaps will call such an individual a coward, but the more judi- clous will regard him with sympathy as be- ing a victim of unfortunate circumstances, Conduct in the ordinary routine of life calls for no heroic quality, It needs only common sense, strict attention to duty, a modicum of foresight and self-discipline that is within the reach of any intelligent and conscientious individual, Failure in such conduct which leads to a disaster admits of no excuses, There is no sympathy, but enly scorn and contempt for those guilty of such conduct, : Like other wrecks at sea, the sinking of the Vestris produced evidences of both the heroic and the cowardly, But let not the landlubber judge this conduct, The quicks est to condemn cowardice often proves the most cowardly when put to the test, Only those who went through this sea tragedy are qualified to judge the conduct of their shipmates, True heroism is deliberately facing a known personal danger for the safety of an- other, Under this definition there may not have been many heroes and heroines aboard the Vestris when she went down, VOLCANOES * The terrible eruption of Mount Etna in Sicily does not sustain the scientific opinion that voleanic activity is ceasing anf that the vast populated areas on the earth's surface have nothing more to fear from this source, but rather demonstrates that considerable damage may still be done by these lava- belching leftovers of a molten world, Constant guard is maintained over active craters by sensitive seismographic instru. ments, reducing to a minimum loss of hu- man life, but warnings did not come soon enough to save the 80,000 lives lost in 1902 when Mount Pelee blew off its top destroying the city of St, Pierre in Martinique, Warn. ings came from Mount Etna, but not in time to prevent sll loss of life, Few know that more than a quarter of the known active volcanoes are in U.S, ter- ritory, There are more than 600 smoking peaks in Alaska alone, and Mount Lassen, in California, is in frequent eruption, The vol- canoes in Arizona would be active, scientists claim, if water could reach them, The United States has more to fear from earthquakes, floods and hurricanes than from volcanic activity. Of those four kinds of disaster, the volcanic eruption seems to be the most terrifying, but while it causes per- manent damage it does not spread havoc over so large an area as the other three have been known to do, UNIVERSALITY OF BOOKS "Everywhere more books are being resd, according to the reports of publishers, book- sellers and libraries.

Give me some tasks to do; not leadership, Nor brilliant effort with its larger gain, hc which serve a need and soften And I can face the world with smiling lip, Give me this small success: to play the friend, To hold my post with courage, and to be Free from the chains of pomp and luxury And I can walk, glad-hearted, to the end. --Edgar A. Guest #1 fi ABBE 1S ASKED T0 EXPLAIN TALK ON LOST GIRLS Immigration Department De- sires Evidence to Uphold Charges of Chaplain ---- osm, Nov. no eT Abs Casgrain, Roman Catholic al attached to the immigration ser- vice at Quebec City, was yesterday to a hp ER ment to present evidence in connection with his charges that young girl immigrants to Canada sometimes fell into the hands of persons of fll-repute and mever reached their proper detinations.

He has also been ask- ed to explain what is meant by "traffic." Officials stated that there had been cases where girls had mot reached intended destinations be- cause they had been taken care of by relatives and friends who inter- vened. Social Montreal, Nov. 28.--Unanimous denial of the charges made by Rev. Abbe Casgrain, of Quebec, as to the disappearance of jmamigrant serv- ant girls, is voiced by workers in the Y.W.C.A., Travellers Ald, and other such organizations here, It was pointed out that the Tra- vellers' Ald organization 1s given a list of all immigrant girls who came into the country, and by means of thelr connections through such societies as the Daughters of the Empire and through the work of their own officers in co-opera- tion with other bodies of like na- ture, they are able tn follow up every foreign girl that comes in- to Canada as an immigrant for do- mestic service, Ahbe Has Names Agencies Deny Quebee, Nov. 28.--'Unfortunate- ly very little comes out of these in- vestigations," said Abhe Phillippe Casgrain, Catholic Immigration Chaplain of the Port of Queheec. "The appalling truth remains that a considerable percentage fail to re- port at all; they are lost on the way." "Any investigation that may he made should he thorough. Atten- tion should be focussed on the in- dividual cases of girls who are missing. Their names can he known."

Just what can be done ahout it is a matter of grave concern at the court house, The law holds that the sheriff per- sopally is responsible for carrying out the death sentence, The hang- man has no official status and no official appointment, He merely makes his services available to needy sheriffs and the Department of Justice keeps sheriffs apprised of where he may be found, The hope of Sheriff Graham ahd all his staff lies in the proceedings from which Murrell likewisé hopes for relief. The Minister of Justice may extend the time till Ellis comes, but the greater hope of Murrell is that the recommendation of the trial jury for merey will he accorded, SUGGEST NAVAL PARLEY IN CANADA Washington, D.C., Nov. 28.--A joint meeting of the House Naval Affairs Committee an a committee from the British Parliament, has been suggested by Chairman Brit- ten of llinois to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, to discuss equal- ity of sea power between the Unit- od States and Great Britain, on all classes of war vessels, not affected by the Washington Arms Confer- ence.

The battle of the guns, other mem- bers of council declared, will be fought out when council meets on Monday night.
