SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929 AN IDEAL PARK SITE Last night the city council made a tour of in- spection of a number of proposed industrial sites in the city. The council members learned a great deal about these properties in their inspection, but they also learned something else. They found, while looking over the old pottery on King Street West, that to the south of that area, and extending for a considerable distance to the west of the creek, there lay what might be considered an ideal park site. It is easy to visualize what splendid things could be accomplished with this property if the city could take it over and transform it into a central park area. About twenty-seven acres in extent, it offers great possibilities for development. It is absolutely level, and one could almost see what it would: look like if laid out as a recreation ground, with tennis courts, cricket grounds, football field, and, in the winter months, open air skating facilities. What the cpst of such a project would be fis, of course, problematical. But the thought of creating this area into a park is one which is worth con~ sidering in the future development of Oshawa. There is need of such a centrally-located park, and itis quite safe to say that the members of the couneil who looked over the property last night were im- pressed with the idea, It might not be wise to ad- vocate any hasty or immediate action with this project, but it is one which should at least be given very serious thought by future city councils. DOMINION, DAY On Monday, Canada will have its 62nd birthday. It will be celebrated as a public holiday. Dominion Day has now come to be regarded as something different from what was originally intended. It is now celebrated as the great midsummer holiday, a day for special sporting events, for big picnics, and "for trips to near and distant points to visit friends and relatives. Dominion Day, in fact, has simply come to mean a heliday and little more. Little thought is given' to the reason for the holiday, or to any efforts to have it celebrated so that it could mean something to the young people, and the people not so young as well, of this country. Many years ago, it was made a great patriotic holiday, a day for recalling the great achievement of Confederation which it marks. Two years ago, on the diamond jubilee of that epoch-making event, it was observed in 'the true spirit, with patriotic ceremonies. But that was only a passing phase of its observance, a special effort made because of the special significance of July 1, 1927. rd It is, in many ways, regretiable that the old cus- tom is dying out, and that Dominion Day is not used to renew the patriotic spirit of the people of Canada, and to remind them of what they owe to those wise and far-seeing men who, on July 1, 1867, gaw the scattered provinces of Canada become one great federation, one dominion. In the United States, July 4 is a great national holiday, and it is made the occasion of nation-wide patriotic exercises. Over there, of course, there are: some excesses, but between the United States flam- boyant flag-waving and the Canadian method of ig- noring the national significance of the day, there is a happy medium, and that is the medium which, should be sought as the standard for the proper celebration of the nation's birthday. THE HAMILTON BANDIT TRAGEDY The whole province was stirred yesterday to learn of the tragedy at Hamilton in which a detective was killed in attempting to capture a bank robber, who was also killed by another detective. This tragédy brought into 'the vivid glare of publicity the dan- gers which the police have to face in the execu: tion of their duty. There has been much criticism lately of the use of firearms by the police, but the slaying of Detective Clarke shows that even those who are not hardened criminals, but are practically novices in ways 'of crime, will stop at nothing, not even murder, in order to avoid arrest. The Hamilton case is a peculiar one in that the slayer was not a hardened bandit, was not, so far as is known, a member of any gang of bank rob- bers. He was an ordinary farmer, one who had lived a peaceable and law-abiding life until, by some strange quirk in his nature, he suddenly becamie obs sessed with a desire to rob a bank. It is hard to fathom what has taken place in his mind to cause- this transitibn. His actions were more like those of a maniac than of a sane man. But he has gone to his last account, and with kim he has taken the guilt of taking the life of a fellow-man. The case has shown above everything else, however, the absolute necessity of police officers being armed, "honored principles of round-about diplomacy. i i 3 : 3 4 | 1 the interests of Canada, changes will. be made in the Canadian tariff structure to correct the state- ment. ' . This declaration can be taken as a statement of the government's policy, for, with the principle of ministerial responsibility prevailing, it can be taken for granted that it was made with the full know- ledge and consent of the federal cabinet. Indeed, it might well be said that Mr. Malcolm, in making it, acted as the spokesman of the government, and enunciated its policy on this important subject. The logical conclusion which one would draw from this statement is that, if circumstances such as de- scribed arise, Canada will be ready to retaliate by' revising her own tariff schedules.in an upward direc, tion. That is about the only thing it can possibly, mean. Otherwise there would be no meaning to the announcement. And this would constitute so redi- cal a departure from the policies of the Liberal government' throughout the last mine years as to become a matter of the greatest significance. The whole situation, of course, hangs upon the final decision of the United States government in' the arranging of its new tariffs. But it is satisfac tory to mote that the government does not propese to sit back idly and allow Canadian industries to be jeopardized by high United States tariff walls with. out taking some action in return. Whatever that action may be, it should be based, not so much on a desire to retaliate against the United States tariff wall, but rather, as Mr. Malcolm suggested, to meet: Canada's own economic needs. And there are indi. cations that, should the proposed changes be made in the tariff of the United States, there will be same real economic problems to be remedied. GOING AT THINGS IN THE RIGHT WAY The new Labor government in Great Britain ap- more direct way that is usual with governments, This was i d when R y MacDonald, without any preliminaries, entered into direct conversations with General Dawes, the United States ambassador to Great Britain, with a view to paving the way for an effort to reach agreement on naval disarmament, The same type of statesmanship is seen in the an- nouncement that the Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, min- ister in charge of employment in the British cabinet, is coming to Canada within' a few weeks to study at first hand: the question of migration of unemployed Britishers to this country, This is another new departure. Mr, Thomas, ap- parently, will not be satisfied with reports from others, He wants to 'see conditions for himself, and to study the situation with only one thought in mind, , that of finding out to what extent unemployed work- ers can find relief from their circumstances by com- ing to. this country. He is going at the problem in a direct way, and a way which is calculated to great- ly assist in placing conditions in Canada in their right perspective before the prospective migrants™ from Great Britain, The Labor government is, after all, simply apply- ing common-sense methods to its governmental acti- vities. Its method of direct attack is likely to bring results which could not be achi¢ved by the time- As Labor men, they are probably more accustomed to calling a spade a spade, and getting right to the bot- tom of things than they are to the art of diplomatic approach, but, in these days of trying conditions, it. is quite likely that the Labor way is the best way.

Is this a sign that American university courses are not up to the standard of those in Canada? Having made a tour of 'the city's industrial sites, the city fathers should now have a fairly gooa idea of the direction in which they wish Oshawa to expand. : Wonder why it was that Ambassador Dawes was so anxious to secure a special dispensation iso that he would not have to wear knee breech#s at the court reception in Londen? Will the' Doguinion Day week-end be sane and safe, or will it record another long list of automobile and drowning tragedies? The answer rests with those who go out motoring and boating for the holi- day. RRR Other Editor's 'Comments JUST ONCE WOULD DO , (The Humorist) .

THE LOYAL CONSUMER (Ottawa Droit) Faced with the tariff situation as it is reported from the United States, our duty is clear--only to consuue, as far as possible, Canadian pro- ducts; if we must buy imported pro- ducts, to choose in preference the British countries, and only as a last resort foreign countries, always bear- ing in mind that Canada comes first in every case; and, lastly, to direct our surplus production to those coun- tries which are eager to come to commercial terms with us. CANADIANG (Chatham News) Ancestry is something of which ev- ery man has a right to be proud, but, whether native born or not, it should not transcend a man's belief in him- self as a Canadian. At our banquets and public gatherings, men of Cana- dian birth are prone to brag of their Scotch, English or Irish descent, If they placed more stress on the fact that they are Canadians it would, at least, serve as an example to newcom- ers to foster a belief in themselves as Canadians and not Scandinavians, Russians or Hollanders as the case may be. ALCOCK AND BROWN (Detroit News) (Bruce Gould, in his book "Sky Larking", predicts that 100 years hence Captain John Alocck and Ar- thur E. Brown will be honored above all other pathfinders of the air.) The acclaim that should have been theirs was denied them. It may be, as Mr. Gould suggests, that all countries were too near the dangerous days of the war period in 1919 to properly appreciate Brown and Alcock. The world was tired of heroes, in fact there were more of them than there were jobs, and in the news of the monumental proceedings at Versailles which were then being pushed to a conclusion, Alcock and Brown were quickly forgotten. RUNNING BESIDE A TRAIN J((Mr. Gossip," in the Daily Sketch) A friend of mine has just returned from Pekin by the trans-Siberian rail- way, a route which is becoming more popular, though the journey, which used to take eight or nine days, now takes a fortnight, The train, he says, goes so slowly that at times you can take exercise by getting out an running along the line beside it. The time table reads impressively, an- nouncing' that the train leaves Mos- cow at 10.30 p.m. and arrives at Pe- kin at 2,17 precisely on the cleventh day. But I should doubt if it had ever arrived punctual to the minute. The great difficulty about choosing this route is that it takes about a month to secure a Russian visa. Bits of Verse "MY. CANADA" Land of many lakes and teeming seas And of rolling fields of golden grain, Trees that reach on high the sky to tease, Mountain peaks that gaze with grand disdain Down in valleys deep, and streams that leap Swiftly on their way to rivers wide; ' Inlets where great oceans' fingers creep Glaciers to smear with salted tide; Where the tinted sky at close of day j Ushers in no night of sordid gloom, . But a starlit realm where moon- beams play "Mid the. cataract's resounding boom.

Embark for Tour of Europe after Hospi- tal Visit The 85th annual convention of the American Institute of Homeopathy came to an end Thursday afternoon, as over 400 of the delegates boarded the Duchess of York en route for Liverpool and Europe, while the re- maining delegates went out on a tour of inspection of the various hospitals of the city. Prominent among the de- parting delegates was Dr. A, R. Grif- fiths, of Montreal, the newly chosen president-elect of the institute. The schedule of visits included the Notre Dame, Royal Victoria, Hotel Dieu and Montreal General Hospitals and the Montreal Homeopathic, The last function at the hotel was the annual banquet, held at noon, at which. farewell messages were deliv- ered and speeches of good wishes to those who were going overseas, as well as regretful farewells to Montre- al. Retiring President A. H. Gordon presided at the opening of the ban- uet, and introduced Professor Bor- en, who expressed the thanks of the American Institute of Homeopathy to everyone in Montreal for the cordial reception and kindly treatment they had received here, He then formally inducted Dr. I. D. Metzger, to the presidency for this year, and handed over the chair to him. Dr. Metzger called on the sec- retary to read a number of last mie ute messages that had come from England and Europ€ welcoming those who are going across on the Duchess of York. Dr. Gill Robb Wilson then pro- nounced the benediction, which closed the official program. As a little time was still available before the hour of departure for the steamer, the guests spent it singing community songs, throwing confetti and stream- ers, and making a general "whoopee" worthy of the occasion. : At 130 pm. the convention pros ceeded as a body in autobusses to the steamer to give a final send-off to those delegates who are going ov- er to Europep. ; Held Session During the forenoon, several sec- tions held final sessions in which the last of their papers were read, In the bureau of electrotherapy, Dr. C. G. Buckmaster read a paper on the relation of statistic electricity to dia- thermia: Dr. R. A, Case, of Cleve- land, spoke of the seluence of mul- tiple modalities; Dr. M. R, Waggon- er, of Los Angeles, discussed diather- mia in endocrine diseases, and Dr, C, E. Hetherington on galvanism. Dr. John Lenfestey, of Mount Cle- mens, Mich, read a paper in which he called attention to the electro- chemical action of mineral salts con- tained in the sulpho-saline baths at Mount Clemens. He pointed out that this electro-chemical action had been stressed Wednesday by Dr, Harlan Wells in the endowment address, showing that radium emanations and intercellular chemical stimulation re- stored the equilibrium of diseased cells, bringing about a restoration of the function of the organ or tissues supplied by these cells, The radio-activity in these waters, the lecturer said, had agen proven by photographic experimerils. The olarity of tissue cells had been Snide to notice twenty years ago by a Germany physician who pre- scribed massage Lb mineral water, thus actlvating the electro-chemical stimulation of the cells of the tissues, also flushing the capillaries and help- ing the osmosis of soluble inorganic salts absorbed. In the section of drug pathogene- sis, Dr. David Jewett lectured on li- ver therapy; Dr. D. F. McGarvey on Insulin therapy in diabetes mellitus; Dr. Milton J. Raisbeck on the treat- ment of hypertension, and Dr, O. R. von Bonewicz, on millefolium, Final Item The final item of this section was the showing of a film "The Move- ment of the Alimentary Tract in Ex- perimental Animals." This film was prepared by the department of phy- siology at the University. of Chicago under the direction of Professor A. E. Luckhardt, with the co-operation of the Petrolagar Laboratories, and was shown at the section by Edward McEvoy of the laboratories . along with J, Withington of Toronto, The picture showed the movement of the digestive tract of the dog, cat and rabbit, After anaethesis, the animals were opened and the move- ments produced by stimuli applied to the vagus nerve. Such movement is not observed under operation, be-- cause the anaesthetic and the expo- sure tend to produce temporary para- lysis of the peristaltic action. Its ac- curacy is checked, however, by obscr- vations that have been taken by roentgenologists in shadow on fluoroscopic screen. : The film is shortly to be shown in the various. medical schols through- out the Proyinee of Quebec. One of the first visits that the dele- gates crossing the ocean will make, after. they leave Engiand, will be to the Homeopathic ost Graduate School of Paris, which the hdmeo- athic medical men of France, having ailed to obtain government help in any French university, have establish- ed at their own expense, are main- taining at their own expense, and at which post graduate courses in home- opathic medicine and therapeutics free of charge to all qualified medi- cal men and women who care to take the course. ust 'before leaving the following cablegram was sent to John Weir, of London, Eng., physician to the Prince of Wales: "Your. cablegram of good wishes received -and read to entire conven- tion at its final banquet.
