THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1929 LEAGUE OF NATIONS DAY As years go past, and the war days fade into a more distant perspective, the people. of the world are beginning to realize more and more the value of the League of Nations to humanity. The splendid work it has done in many directions, in the preven- tion of war, in the settlement of disputes, in bring- ing about uniformity of labor conditions, in medical and public health research, and in sponsoring social reforms, would be sufficient to fill a great many volumes, and yet its beneficient effects have only be- gun to be felt. In Canada, the people are beginning to have a full conception of what it means to play a large part in the League of Nations, and this attitude of mind on the part of Canadians is largely due to the work: of the League of Nations Society in Canada. This body is a voluntary organization which exists for the purpose of educating the people of this coun- try to realize the benefits of the League of Nations, so as to build up a strong and well-informed body of public opinion in its favor. In its short period of existence, it has grown in influence and useful- ness, for the reason that individuals in practically every community throughout the dominion are seized with: the importance of the work that it is doing, and are lending it their support. In order to increase that support, Tuesday of next week has been designated as "League of Nations Day" throughout Canada, and on that day a do- minion-wide campaign for members is being under- taken. ' The practical co-operation of the public in the work of the society is an important factor in its usefulness, and it is to be hoped that the people of Oshawa will be sufficiently impressed by what has alteady been accomplished to enroll themselves as members, and thus help to make its future achieve ments count for even more than those of the past. A TIMELY PROTEST The county council of Peterboro County has is suéd a strong protest against the wanton damage which is done to roads in that district every spring by heavy traffic passing over them before they are really in a fit condition to carry it. The Petetboro district is not the only one to suffer in this respect. Practically every rural community has to put up with it, and in many cases years of road-building work are undone in a few short weeks by heavy trucks. going over the soft road beds. , It is true that an effort has been made to lighten this damage by the regulations whith require trucks: to carry only half loads during the months of March and April. But, in the case of the bigger trucks, carrying normally anything from six to ten tons, this does not mean a great deal. A load of from three to five tons can quite easily play havoc with the sur- face of a road, and if, by chance, the truck should become stuck in the mud, and have to be' dug out, then the road is ruined to such an extent that sece tions of it have to be rebuilt, Rural councils have a right to have: their invest- ments in roads protected. It may be a little drastic to suggest that these roads should be closed to traf- fic during the early spring months, but this is the remedy which is being sought by the Peterboro county body, agd if nothing else is effective, then it may be necessary to go to that length. BRITAIN'S GRAND OLD MAN It is announced that the Eat! of Balfour, for many years known as the grand old man of British states- manship, has been ordered by his physicians to re- tire from London and make his home in future in the country, This means his definite: retirement from public life, and, as he is now well over eighty years of age, it is not surprising that he should be thinking of retiring to spend his remaining days in leisure. As Arthur Balfour, before the earldom was con- ferred on him by a grateful sovereign, the earl be- came noted as one of the outstanding statesmen of his day. He is one of the few surviving men who held cabinet office during the reign of Queen Victoria, and, indeed, it has been said that he is one of the few remaining links in public life with the Vigtor- ian era. A quarter of a century ago, the Earl of Balfour. was prime minister of Great Britain, for it was in 1905 that his government was beaten, and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman succeeded him as premier, to be in turn succeeded by the late Lord Asquith. Both of these statesmen are now dead, but Balfour lives on, Even after he was elevated to the House of Lords, he continued to devote his talents for states- manship for the welfare of his country. In the days of the war, his 'was a steadying influence on succes- sive cabinets, and in the days of negotiation and trou- ble following the war, he was looked upon as one of the most brilliant diplomats of the allied nations. His 'passing from public life will be regretted, for he 'was one of its most colorful figures, and his lige will not be seen on the stage of politics for many years. | THE gosPEL The interest which has recently been shown in the reformation of those who have fallen into evil deeds has prompted several newspapers to take up the cause of these people, and to make a plea for the applica- tion. togheir cases of the gospel of the second chance. This tendency on the part of public men and insti- tutions to pay more attention to the reformation of evil doers than to their punishment is encouraging. It recognizes that the chief function of the forces re- sponsible for the administration of justice should not be to inflict punishment on those who have com- mitted offences, but rather to protect society by giv- ing those persons every eticoiragement and incentive to forsake their evil ways and return to the straight path. There are; of course, many cases in which punish- ment is justly deserved and must be given, but even in these cases there 1s 2 limit to the extent to which the man involved should be made to suffer. When a prison term is over, he should be considered to have paid his penalty in full, so far as human agencies are concerned, and it is then that the principle of the second chance should be applied, If a man, once hav- ing seen the inside of a prison, is shunned by his fellows and -debarred from securing employment, there is ho incentive to go straight. But the hand of friend- ship, the opportunity to work out his own salvation, will go a long way toward redeeming him from a pos- sible career of crime, OF THE SECOND CHANCE CANADA'S WEALTH The Dominion Bureau of Statistics performs some very useful functions, and its recent report on the wealth of Canada is one of those things which cause the people of this country to do some thinking. : It is interesting to-know that the wealth of the dominion is steadily mounting, and is ever reaching out to new high levels. For the petiod covered by the latest report, it is stated that the wealth of the dominion is mow over $26,000,000, which means a per capita wealth of $2,842, This latter figure is apt to cause many people to think seriously and fo wonder what has happened to their share of Canada's billions. Those of us who are not up to the standard will naturally be wonder- ing what has happened to our $2,800. 4 the money were spread out a. little more evenly, it might be . more useful, at least ta those who find themselves well below the average mark. : x But, as an indication of the growing prosperity of -Canada, the figures are encouraging. They show that, for a young country, Canada is making prodi- zlous strides in a material sense. The people of ; ond by their energy and ability, are building up national agsets which are far beyond anything that was thought possible a generation 'ago, and, what is more ple t to template, the building is only in the stages of infancy. EDITORIAL NOTES Rumania has decided that all Communist meetings ate to be suppressed with an iron hand. This is an example which Canada might do well to follow. One present day instance of unfair competition is found in the playing of hockey final games at the time the baseball teas are appealing for support. It is a rather striking thing that all kinds of hogs are kept in pens with the exception of road hogs, although some of them land in the penitentiary. A mechanical man has been invented with capa- bilities of testing the flavor of cigars and cigarettes. Such a man would be in great demand the week after Christmas, The people of Stratford are to vote on a bylaw to provide $15,000 for the establishment of an air- port. How long is it going to be before the people of Oshawa are going to have a similar privilege. Forty-six prisoners in the Canadian penitentiaries are under 18 years old. Lads of that age have no right to be there, for they have little opportunity to reform when they are thrown into such close con- tact with the most hardened criminals in the country. = Other Editors' Comment - AND OF CANADA (Liverpool Weekly Post) The Governor of the Falklands says: "No Scots- man will live in a bad country."

Barton, M.D. 1S WATER ALWAYS HELPFUL? Perhaps you 'wonder wh health writers advise drinking. ost of water, especially between meals, Now, the advice is worth following most of the time because as a peo- ple we do not drink enough water, and living an inactive life, as most of us do, we need plenty of water to accompany material along the intes« e. Water is necessary because the in- testine is many feet long, and liquids get 'absorbed from this food as it passes along. Now, if there is any delay any where along the large intestine to be removed from the body, it has lost so much water that it 4 oo and thus more difficult to remove from the body, ; This is what is called constipation, Now, will the drinking of water pre- vent constipation? There is no question but that it helps to carry away wastes by the kidneys, and to some extent also by the skin, but liquid does not act on the intestines as do foods or drugs. Its 'main use, therefore, is to make the final removel from the body sess difficult, Futher, if you decide to drink a number of pints or quarts of water daily, don't take more than one glass or two, at the most, at one time, whether it is' at or between meals. Two or three glasses of water, a cup of tea or milk, together with the food you eat at meal time, may be just "too much" for your particular stomach, and it has a tendency to make it "drop" a little, This dropping makes it a little more difficult for the food to climb up and out of the stomach into the small intestine, Now, cold water does very often help movement along the intestine because the coldness itself gives the stomach a shock or impulse and this impulse continyes down the small in- testine and then on downward 'throughout the large intestine. So, if you are depending on water to prevent constipation and are hav- ing no success, then eat the foods that will stimulate the intestine to action. These are fruit juices, bran, cereal, whole wheat bread, stewed figs, prunes, green vegetables, apples if they agree with you. Min- eral oil is usually of help. If you are willing to take regular exercise, especially bending move- ments, it is not likely that you will have to give much thought to diet to correct constipation, i (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act). MOTHER OF AIMEE SUED FOR $30,000 Seattle Minister Asks Dam- ages for Breach of Promise. Seattle, April 11.---Asking $50,- 000 heart balm, Rev. H. H. Clark, middle-aged. Seattle clergyman of the Disciples Denomination, enter- ed suit for breach of promise against Mrs. Minnie E. Kennedy, mother of Mrs. Aimee Semple Mc- Pherson, of Angelus Temple, Los Angeles, here Monday. In the suit filed by Attorney Gor- don Mogauvran, Rev. Clark charges that Mrs. Kennedy promised to provide him with work in Alaska and on the Pacific coast. The minister said he first be- came acquainted with Mrs. Kenne- dy in Seattle on December 14, 1928, and some days later she telephoned him often and arrang- defendant to luncheon, dinner and ed with the plaintiff to take the defendant to luncheon, dinner ana to theatres. Love Scenes Mrs. Kennedy, Clark related, "evidenced a great deal of inter- est" in him and arranged many meetings, "at which she made love to the plaintiff." Later she in- formed him she had taken uu apartment in a hotel 'where plain- titf and defendant could talk un. disturbed." He accepted her in- vitgtion to visit the apartment, and "defendant: made violent and pas- sionate love to plaintiff, and re- quested plaintiff to promise to marry defendant." Upon defendant promising to finance him in evangelical and re- ligious work by building and main- taining a tabernacle and maintain- ing a "gospel ship" for religious work in Alaska, Clark said he promised to marry defendant. an this time plaintiff said he did not know the defenant was Mrs. Ken- nedy, she having given him a dif- ferent name. Finally she disclos- ed that she was Mrs. Kennedy ana then said she would mnot' warry him. By reason of Mrs, Kennedy's breach of promise to marry him, Clark said he is 'h'eart-broken, hu- miliated, disturbed in peace of mind," and prevented from carry- ing on his religious work, and that he is shamed, dishonored and brok- en in health."

EAST BUILDING 155 NEW FISHING CRAFT Marked Expansion of Oper- ations in Maritimes This Summer Ottawa, April 11,--Increased ac- tivity in the shore fisheries of the Maritime Provinces this summer is forecast as a result of ihformation gathered by the fisheries branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries. It shows that 155 fish- struction in the three provine- es (during the past winter. The boats range in size up to 52 feet in length. Fifteen of the boats are being built in Prince Edward Island, 16 in New Brunswick, and 124 in Nova Scotia, A statement issued by the de- partment explained that the mark- od expansion of fishing operations in Nova Beotia, which is indicated by the construction of so many new boats,- is regarded as due, in con siderable measure, to the establish- ment of fish collection services by the fisheries branch along several sections of the coast of the prov- ince in the past two years. In a single sub-district in one of these sections 21 fishing boats were un- der construction during the win- ter. Under the fish collection system boats operated under the fisheries branch collect the fishermen's catches at different points along prescribed routes and, on each route, deliver the fish daily at a marketing terminus to purchasers wise representatives in the terri- tory served have previously made buying agreements with the fisher- men at prices acceptable to the lat- ter. As a result of this collection plan, the fishermen are assured of an immediate market for their catch, and they are enabled to de- vote more time to the actual work of fishing while, as another result, the fish reach the purchasers in better condition than would other. wise be possible.

Petitioned.. to Curtail Length of Shooting Season Beriln, April 11.--The German Government has been petitioned to take definite action in curtailing the hunting season following the heavy losses of wild birds and ani- mals during the cold spells, it was learned here. All parts of Germany have suf- fered heavy game losses during the intense cold spells and there has heen a wide public demand for the (lovernment to take necessary mea- sures to prevent complete extinec- tion, The Government, it was said, had no power to prohibit game shooting altogether, but it did have the authority to shorten the open season. Experience has shown, it was sald, that the mortality among ani- mals, especially among deer, was greater after a thaw and when green grass was available, than during the snow period itself. The Government may take definite ac- tion in May. Fermer Governor Charged Jacksonville, Fla. -- Sidney J.

DETROIT YOUTH 1S HER TO MILLIONS Decision Handed Down By Judge in Circuit Court Detroit, Mich., April 11.--James Frederick Smith, nine-year-old adopted son of the late Mrs. Hat- tie B. Smith, became heir to $2,- 000,000 through a decision hand- ed down recently by Judge Arthur Webster, of Circuit Court. Mrs. Smith's will left her estate of $3,000,000 to the adopted boy, but it was contested by relatives, including Mrs, Sarah E. Smith, aged mother of the late James Smith, pioneer truck body opera- tor, and husband of Hattie B. Smith, Judge Webster, in his decision did not get aside the will, but de- manded .specific performance of un agreement between Smtih and his wife before Smith's death, under which one-third of the estate was to be divided between his mother, hig three sisters, two sisters of his wife, and a niece. The adopted son, therefore, will receive two- thirds of the estate. Daily news reports indicate that the hit-and-run driver is abroad in the land.

During the war the Marjoch, then the Allan liner Victorian, served with the Tenth Cruiser Squadron, patrolling between ue North of Scotland and Iceland, where, in company with other line ers, she was engaged in intercept ing and inspecting neutral vessems bound from American to Scandinae vian ports. It was the Victorian that amazed the shipping world when, to avoid the submarines, she reversed her navigation lights, pu. ting the port and starboard lights on the stern and the stern light on the bows.
