Since other measures attempted by previous governments Have 'failed to solve these problems, there will be a tendency on the 'part of the other parties to give Labor a chance, and if that is done in the true British spirit of subordinating the mere party advantage to the interests of the' country as a whole, the Labor government should have a useful and fruitful term of office: TRICK BICYCLE RIDING The Oshawa Chief of Police is not alone in issuing an edict to bicycle riders that they must not re- sort to questionable riding of their vehicles on the streets. On the same: day as he issued his warning to the cyclists of this city, Police Inspector Green- wood, of the Toronto traffic squad, was giving ex- actly the same orders to the cyclists of that city. Ridden as it, is meant to bé ridden, and in com- formity with the traffic laws, the bicycle is about the safest kind of vehicle that is made. There are surprisingly few accidents to bicycle riders, and most of these occur, not because of any hazard in the vehicle, but becausé of disregard of the tawsSt tral- fic of safety. Such practices as riding on the sidewalks, riding . with two or three people on one machine, riding at night without a light, and hitching on the back of automobiles are invitations to accident. They are not necessary, and, as the chief of police has inti- mated, they should not be tolerated: For their own safety, if for no other. reason, cyclists should be cager to obey the traffic laws, without the 'necessity of drastic action on the. part of the. police. STRENGTHENING EMPIRE TIES It is of the utmost importance to Canada, at the present juncture in its trade affairs, that the ties of Empire, and particularly those of intra-imperial trade and commerce, should be strengthened as much as possible. It is, therefore, of considerable interest, THE COUNCIL AND INDUSTRIAL SITES at is" special mecting on Tuesday evening, wisely decided to make a tour of inspection of all the available industrial sites in the city before reaching any definite conclusion as to which areas should be purchased for this purpose. It would be impossible for any body of men to reach an intelli- gent conclusion on the subject. without first seeing the various propertics, and judging them from all the important" angles which enter into the case, © It is wise, too, that this inspection should be made, Pecause The Times believes that it will convince the council of the worthiness of the proposal to "purchase the site offered by G. D. Conant on Simcoe Street South, adjasent to the land which has already Been taken over by the Skinner Company as the location of "its factory here. + . This arca of land is ideally located for industrial development, and has the essential services, such as water, sewers, power and railway facilities so close to it that they can be supplied direct to prospective of the property at a minimum of cost. This site, too, has the distinct advantage of being able to accommodate a number of industries, with room to expand, whereas the purchasc of small sites of about an 'acre would: leave little room for any #cal development, : "In this matter, important decision, one which ing on the future of the city. The city council, "gccupants the council is asked to make an will have a great bear- Looking to that futute, it is essential that whatever industrial area may be | selected, it should be of sufficient size to provide for growth and progress. Careful consideration is, therefore, absolutely necessary, but it is also neces- gary that that consideration should take into con- sideration only one thing, the future welfare and development of Oshawa as a centre of busy and thriving industries. GOING TO EUROPE On Friday of this week, a party of Osha¥ra people {eaves for a trip to Great Britain and Europe, under the supervision of the Rev. F. J. Maxwell, of this gity. Many others have, this summer, already leit for a somewhat similar tour, some individually, and gome under various auspices. While it is the policy of most Canadian newspapers 1 advocate that people sccking extended vacation tours should sce Canada first, it must be admitted that there is much to be gained by a trip to the Old Land and to Europe One of the most important fea- tures, of course, is the value of the contact with the people of the Mother Country, for these contacts lead to a greater appreciation of the worth of cach other, and a greater understanding of the problems of each other. Apart from that, there is the broadening value of travel. Those who know only their own country, and only a small part of that, have not truly lived. There is much of education, of inspiration, and of pleasure at the same time, to be derived from inter- mingling with the people of other lands, from observ- ing the habits and customs of other peoples. + And perhaps the greatest benefit of all is the reali- zation which is engendered by such a trip of how fortunately situated are the people of Canada in the country which they possess. It is true that home is never rcally appreciated until one has spent some time away from it. - And that will probably be the Keenest reaction of most of the European trippers to the journey which they will make this summer. A TIME OF TESTING "The British parliament is now in sessign. The time of testing for the new Labor government is close at hand, and the test will be a severe onc. It is no casy task which Ramsay MacDonald has ac- cepted in giving leadership to a government which i§ without a majority in the Housc of Commons, and which must depend on the goodwill of at least onc of the other main parties for its very existence. This adds to the difficulties of the new government, and makes it cssential that it shall walk warily in both legislation and administration, There are those who have expressed fears as to the outcome of another period of Labor government in Britam, but these fears are groundless, Had Labor a clear majority, it could then work out its own poli+ cies without fear. or favor. But, under the circum- stances, its actions must be guided largely by ex- pedicney, and for that reason there is not likely to be .any redical departures from accepted precedents. That docs not mean, gf course, that the Labor gov- ernment will be content with things as 'they arc. Seme drastic measures will have to be developed to deal with unemployment and economic conditions, and jt is, just possible that. some..entirely new steps will be sponsored by the government in this direc- J 4 Ss to this country that there should be in power in Great Britain a government, favorable to any action which would bring closer together the component parts of the Empire.' When . the Labor government was retuarned to power at the recent British election, there was some misgiving as to the effect of the new government on Empire relationships. It would appear, however, from the first gestures of the MacDonald govern- ment, that there is little need to be anxious, Already that government is seeking ways and means where- by the ties of Empire can be strengthened, for it" is already taking the Dominfons into its confidence, and into partnership, in the handling of important matters affecting the whole Empire; » It is absolutely essential, for the welfare of Can- ady, that there should be a greater development of trade relations within the Empire, and particularly with the Motherland. The search for new markets for Canadian products must go on with ever-increas- ing vigor, and, if possible, these should be secured within the British family of nations. ! It is true, of course, that Britain is buying much more goods from Canada than she is selling to this country, but, taking into consideration the type of products which Britain must buy, and the type which she has to sell, that scems inevitable, It is just as true, too, that the type of products which Britain buys from Canada includes the very articles which have been hardest hit by the increase: in the United States tariff. And no other parts of the Empire re- quire supplies of these same articles. If it can be possible for the various parts ofthe Empire to con. summate a policy of trading with cach other to the maximum of consumption of each other's products then much will have been done to help the basic:and fundanfental industries of this country. ADVERTISING AND BUSINESS One of the problems which faces the independent retailer in these" days of modern merchandising is that of facing the competition of the large chain store organizations which have sprung up in many lines of business. This was the problem which was under discussion at the annual convention of the Wholesale Stationers' Association of America, which met 'in Toronto a few days ago. And the answer given was that the only way in which to meet that competition was by imitating and improving upon the methods adopted by the retail chains. The chief speaker was Paul J. Wielandy, a promin. ent dealer of St. Louis, Missouri, and in discussing this problem he had one outstanding piece of advice to give. Better business methods and judicious ad- vertising, he said, were the keys to the situation. Then he added :-- ; "Advertising does not sell goods. It helps to sell them. In business it is synonymous with growth. You can't succeed without it." In these short sentences lics the secret of success of the modern chain store organization, and the rea- son why many of the individual retailers are finding it almost impossible to keep pace with chain store competition. The chains have long ago realized that advertising is the foundation stone on which they must build their business, so they advertise and grow. On the other hand, many of the individual merchants are too inclined to sit back and let things take care of themselves, instead of taking a leaf out of the book of the chain stores, and, by advertising, build. ing up their businesses just as the chain stores have' done.

ING (Edinburgh Weekly Scotsman) The emphatic decision of the two great branches of the Scottsn Church to accept the overtures which pledge them to unite, though confidently expected in view vn ine approval of the congregations throughout the land, is none the Jess momentous and epoch-mdnng. The development of the idea of ie union has coincided with a chang- ing and a broadening conception of religion itself. The rigid adher- ence to points of difference that have kept the Churches apart has given way to a fuller recognition of the more vital rinciples oa which they are at o We have reached a stage when in religious and social affairs the nation needs a clear and undivided lead; uua now, as Dr. Drummond remarked, the Church can consolidate its wui- al weight on the side of truth and righteousness.

PUBLIC HEALTH IN ENGLAND IS GOOD Old Country Has Lowest Death Rate in of Europe London, June 27.--England has the cleanest bill of health of 'any first- class nation in Europe. "The general health of Great Bri- tain is exceptionally good," said an official statement fssued recently by the Ministry of Health. "Indeed, the total death-rate of 11.7 per 1,000 is within 1 per cent. of the lowest qn record." The International Satistical Year Book issued by the League of Na- tions fully bears out these figures. Italy had a death-rate of 16.6 per 1,000 in 1925, the latest year for which fifures were available. France's rate was higher at 17.7 per 1,000. Belgium was better with a rate of} 13.1," while Spain was worse with 19.4, England beat all of them with 12.2 per. 1,000. But "when standardised to correct for the deviation of the sex and age distribution," says the annual - offi cial return of the Registrar-General, in referring to the English figures, "this death-rate is reduced to, 10.6 (per 1,000)." England, by means of its highly organised system of sanitation, its elaborate provision for the mainten- ance of public health, and the ex- cellence of its housing and social con- ditions, has eliminated the great kill- ers among the infectious diseases, the scourges that John Bunyan so wéll named 'the captains of the men Typhus, typhoid, and plague are dead.
