Most of the ing the holiday se ists out to enjoy t people who crowd the highways dur- ason are pleasure seckers, motor- he sights of nature, rather than simply to get from one point to another. They keep to the provincial highways because_they know that on these roads they can be assured of good highways and comfortable travelling conditions. . Yet, with the crowds now infesting the highways, much of the pleasure has gone from motoring. How much better it would be were those seeking scenic beauties, or wishing to have communion with nature, to seek the byways rather than the highways. There they will find many allurements of nature foreign to the beaten track, and will be able to travel without whose the incessant rush and roar of the speedster one aim in motoring is to annihilate distance. The plea will be made, of course, that the back the township roads, are not 1m sufficiently ort. Therein lies one of the plans which might be adopted to relieve highway congesion. If more attention were paid to the back roads, and the department of highways gave an even miore generous measure of assistance in constructing' and maintaining them than at present, much of the traffic now blocking the highways would seek other avenues of pleasure. It is not a new idea, of course, but it is one which is worth considering, roads, good condition for comf i A DANGER TO CANADA Within the last twelve months, approximately four thousand pure bred Holstein cattle have been ex- ported from Canada to the United States, In addi- tion, several thousand more grade dairy cattle have crossed the border in the same period. Included in the list of pure-bred Holsteins, too, are many of the finest specimens of the breed in Canada, animals which have led all the way in international competi- tion, and have set new standards for milk produc- tion. These animals, of course, are to be used as the foundation for United States herds, which will be in competition with those of this country, not only in competing for awards, but in the race for markets for milk products. There is a danger in this tremendous loss to Can- ada of the country's finest dairy cattle. These fig- ures, it should be noted, include only Holsteins, and it would be interesting to know how many animals of the Jersey, Ayrshire and other breeds have gone the same way in the last year. J There is little wonder that the production of milk products in Canada is not increasing as it should when dairy cattle are being exported at such a rate, One cannot blame the breeders, of course, if they desire to make some money by selling their animals at profitable prices, but there is a decided menace to Canadian dairying in sacrificing the best founda- tion stock, the best pure-bred animals, to a competi- tor nation. There may be a temporary profit, but in the long run the loss will be felt, and there may be regret that so short-sighted a policy was allowed to take hold of the dairy cattle breeders of Ontario. re THE VALUE OF SPORT This summer, as never before, Oshawa is a hive of sporting activity. New leagues, new pastimes, have sprung into popularity, until today there are hundreds of young men, and women, too, who are taking part in various lines of sporting activity, either in team games, or in the more individual recreative pastimes of tennis, golf and bowling. This participation in sport is a good thing. One of the faults of modern sport organization has been that it has tended to confine participation in sports to a few outstanding players, and has relegated the great mass of the people to the role of spectators. It has become common to find crowds of theusands of people watching eighteen or twenty or more pick- ed athletes displaying their prowess. They may find some thrill in watching these games, and a certain amount of relaxation, but they do not derive anything like the benefit that would accrue to them were they taking part, if even in a minor capacity, in some form of sport. One of the great features of British life is the large extent in which the masses of the people play their games, That is the true ideal of sport, to take part in it for the sake of the sport and the benefits derived from it, rather than for the sake of winning. That is the ideal which:is finding its way into Cana- Zian life by the multiplication of sporting organiza- tions for the masses of the people, _ . «It is a good thing fgg Oshawa that. so many of ey en A S18 __the Kinsmen's Kiddies Karnival, do so. USELESS SPEED In an attempt to make a new speed record, a New York icedealer went around the world in a little over 34 days. He failed to make a record, for the trip has already been made in 23 days and 15 hours, a striking contrast to the ideal set by Jules Verne in his famous novel, "Around the World in Eighty Days." It would be interesting to find out just what is gained by such a mad rush to cover space in the shortest possible time, Such a trip can have no en- joyment in it. Worries as to making connections and getting as far ahead as possible each day detract entirely from any pleasure that can be found in globe-trotting. In fact, the same is true of all efforts to make speed records for long distance journeys. The sights and pleasures of the world cannot be enjoyed when time is the only consideration. These things must be seen in a leisurely fashion, must be sipped and tasted and re-tasted before their full meaning, their full pleasure, can be enjoyed. From the standpoint of pleasure, the New Yorker wasted exactly 34 days. How much better it would have: been for his own intellectual education, as well as to his enjoyment of life, had he taken 34 weeks, or even months, for the same journey. A ROMAN HOLIDAY Ever since July 4 became a national holiday in the United States, there have been pleas for a "safe and sane Fourth" In years past, fireworks and fire- crackers used to take a heavy toll of life, but mo- dern days have brought new ways of spending the holiday, and the accidents from that cause are now more rare than they used to be. The "Fourth," however, is still far from being safe and sane. Reports on the morning following, this year, showed that 159 lives had been sacrificed in the cele- bration of the national holiday. The majority of these were from exactly the same reasons as the heavy toll taken in Canada during the Dominion Day week end, drowning and automobile accidents. It does seem strange that as soon as many people start out on holiday, they leave behind them all their insti. t- Hf caution, ! rush into dangers which, at normal times, they would carefully avoid. Perhaps the holiday spirit is responsible, or perhaps the in- fluence of mass holiday-making tends to recklessness. Whatever the reason may be, it is decidedly unfor- tunate that great holidays cannot pass by without a slaughter of human beings. PREFERS THE OLDER MEN The industrial methods of Henry Ford have for years attracted much attention, for he has instituted many innovations in his dealings with his employees. In a statement made a few days ago, he enunciated another interesting policy, when he said that he would prefer to have all his employees between the ages of 35 and 60, He gave sound reasons, too, for this policy, for he said: * "Under no circumstances would we have a working force made up of only young men. It is absolutely necessary, in order to get the work through, to have a solid framework of older and more experienced men who know exactly what they are doing. It is not to be expected that a man of seventy will have as much endurance as one of twenty-five. It is not necessary that he should have; for by the time a man has reached seventy he ought to have something a great deal more valuable than physical strength.... We would not care how much over sixty the men were so long as they could do their work." That is an interesting piece of philosophy in view of the tendency in some lines of industry to consider men too old at 45, and to replace them with younger men. agree with him, the experience acquired by long years of, labor, more than offsets the enthusiasm and energy of youth. It is a moot question as to which attribute is of more value to industry, and, if there is any balance on one side or the other, surely it should be on the side of the man who has long years of ex- perience and wisdom behind him, rather than that of the younger, more enthusiastic and energetic, per- haps, young man without experience, EDITORIAL NOTES The man who formerly shod horses now earns his living by retiring automobiles. A contemporary refers to the evil of "mixed drink- ing parties." Any kind of drinking parties can be classed as having evils, The king's youngest son gave an address at a gathering of doctors in London, England. The royal family is nothing if not versatile.

But it doesn't mean anything, because the people there seem to thrive on trouble, The Montreal man who says he has a system that will break the bank at Monte Carlo should go over and try it, but he should leave his money at home. The King of Albania, it is stated, has lost his voice through constant smoking of cigarettes. Many men will now be quite converted to the idea of women smoking. China is seeking British help in the development of an improved navy. It would be better if Britain could persuade her to join with other nations in abolishing navies. biases Signs to be seen along the highways read, "Rest Rooms for Tourists." But some of thém are fin such a hurry to cover ground that they never seem to have time to rest. The decision of the Ontario Hydro Commission to $pend $1,800000 for additional water-power sites shows the confidence that body has in the future development of the province. na I 1 oe In Ford's opinion, and there are many who, "MOST BRITISH" CITIES (Edmonton Journal) The mayors of Toronto and Kings- ton recently engaged in a violent dis- cussion concerning the justice of either city's claim to be "called the "most British" in Canada. After all is said and done, as long as Canada is British, every city in the Do- minion is equally British. One place may have more of the "English" at- mosphere about it, another more of the air of one of the United States cities, But as time goes on and Can- ada develops in greater degree its own characteristics out of the ele- ments of other races that have mingled in the Canadian, and out of the very soil and atmosphere of this country itself, cities will grow more Canadian and less anything else. IMMIGRANTS BY ADVERTISING (Edmonton Journal) A farmer from North Dakota has just bought a half-section of improv- ed land in the Edmonton district and filed on a homestead. He has brought close to $12,000 in cash into the Pro- vince. What led to his locating here was the advertising campaign of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce. It was conducted in two successive years, the first advertisement appear- ing in December, 1925. Though some time has now elapsed since that in- tensive effort to draw attention to Central and Northern Alberta as a field of agricultural settlement, its results have continued right up to the present. The case cited is but one of many, AS TO GOING INTO DEBT (Financial Post) "Yqung man, go in debt." This somewhat strange advice is offered to young men anxious to get ahead in the world, by Louis F, Swift, head of the world's largest meat- packing business, "If the debt is for something of intrinsic value, it is worth while," he says. "As soon as one thing is paid for buy. something else and get in debt 'again. Stay in debt and never get out, Just as long as the debt is not for clothes or drinks or such things, but is for something of real, tangible value, a house or a bond, for example, it is worth saving for. "Save--save something, no matter how little. Get one hundred dollars in hand, get one thousand dollars-- you will find the second hundred or second thousand will come much more easily than the first did.

Bits of Verse | MY SHIP I never saw an old ship On a surging, boyish seca, With glinting sails; and figured prow And frothy water boiling; now They say that it can never be, A ship will never\come to me, Will never, never come. 1 waited for an old ship That never drew a-nigh; All through a drowsy summer day I watched wee cloudlets stray away, I heard a distant, plaintive cry And as I sat I wondered why No ship had come to me. Not yet has come the old ship, But I have hopes once more; The red sun hopped behind the hill, The windless rl rested still, The deep sky was an ocean floor, The clouds were stationed evermore-- The islands of the blest. At last T saw an old ship, And it appeared to me Threading through the island clouds; All silent were its misty shrouds, All beautiful it seemed to be, Upon a solemn, skyey sea-- All beautiful for me. --Alexander Knox.

KENT HUBBARD, PRESI- DENT OF THE MANUFAC- TURERS ASSOCIATION OF CONNECTICUT, SAYS: "Ever since my college days, I have been a firm believer in team work, whether practiced on the gridiron, the diamond, or in a unified effort to bring about increased efficiency in business. * Team work is unselfish, It submerges petty self gain or glory in the interests of reaching a higher goal for all. It merges the strong points until they overlap the weaker. The results are as many stars united to light the way to new discovery and greater ultimate accomplishment. The unification of all railroads into a few large systems would 'be the masterpiece of twentieth century team work. It would be a hoon to the manufacturers, the- wholesaler, the farmer, and the consumer. "Many consolidations, in diver- sified lines of business, during the past two years, have already set a precedent in favor of lawful combination for the best interests of industry. They have blazed the trail for the greatest of all mergers--the coneolidation of our railroad transportation systems. All future advancement in indus- try and agriculture depends on the increased efficiency of trans- portation, "Obviously, all products of the ground, goods in storage, manu- factured products in warehouses, or crops in barns, represent froz- en assets, until the surplus can be moved to a ready market. Mil- lions of dollars in interest are lost every year while goods are in transit, and wholly at the mercy of the transportation agen- cies. | am certain that the speeding up of the marketing process will expand markets and have a tendency towards stabiliz- ing freight rates, and equally certain that the one sure way to accomplish this is by a closer alignment of railroad transport activity, which can only come through consolidation.

If there are just a few, not heavy and standing out like heavy cords, and there is no pain, heaviness, nor swelling in the legs, it is just as well to forget about it. However if the veins are very thick, and extend upward into the thigh, there is heaviness, tiredness, and swelling, it should be wise to have them removed either by the knife or injection method. There are cases of ulcers of these veins, and sometimes old skin ail- ments, like eczema, that simply will not heal or clear up. Now the reason for this refusal to heal, or delay. in healing, is that the return flow of blood to the heart is being interfered with in some way. Sometimes it is tight garters, per- haps standing in one position too long as in the case of motormen, policemen, and others. . What really happens in these legs? The circulation is so interfered with that used blood, blood with poisons in it, on its way back to the heart, moves so slowly, that it remains too long in its region, hence the "slow- ness' in building up, or healing, in the tissues of this region. The rapidity with which old ulcers or skin ailments will heal up if the patient can "get off his feet" is as- tonishing. Where the condition is not too bad, if tight garters are removed and the patient will walk a little every day, (Editorial in Montreal Daily Star) FORCED ON WORLD The rush of greed and the scram- ble of politically-favored interests to snatch such tariff "plums" as may, be within reach in Washington during these high days of Republican rule, has deeply and wholesomely alramed many of the more far-visioned of the leaders of the American people. President Hoover is notoriously against a high tariff.' He has been using all "his influence to prevent Congress from satisfying the vor- acity of its camp-followers. He knows the effect of any such tariff on for- eign nations, on international trade and on the relations gédnherally of the United States with the ouside world. Now President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University has joined him with a spirited and yet scholarly protest against this "pol- icy of nationalism gone mad." It is this "pharisacial nationalism," says Dr. Butler, "which {frames public policies as if there were no other members of the human family but ourselves." This is a home thrust. It puts a telling finger upon exactly the weakness of the narrow, nation- alistic, self-centred policy of which the greedy scramble in Washington last spring--to be repeated again next autumn--is so unpleasing a manifestation, The United States is not the na- tion it was before the war. Then it could pretty well afford to go it alone and act "as if there were no other members of the human fam- ily." Its foreign trade was negligible; it had no ocean shipping worthy of the name; and it was a debtor and not a creditor nation. It could not be greatly injured abroad by any folly at home. But this isolation has been shattered. The United States now plays a great role in the world, and can no more avoid having a for- eign policy an international -outlook and the sensitiveness to foreign forces felt by all creditor nations than can Great Britain. The universal protest which has come from the outside world at the tariff manifestations already shown in Washington has seriously dis- quieted every American leader of opinion whose mental eye-sight car- ries across the seas. It is a question how far a nation which aspires to be the money market of the world can risk shrivelling many of the tender filaments of trade, friendliness, en- gineering and similar helpfulness to- ward less wealthy or progressive peoples which bind these foreign na- tions to their financial backer. Great Britain could never have built up her strong position as the fiscal centre of the planet if she had not enjoyed a number of other channels of communication with her financial customers. If the United States is going to block up all these channels she must expect that her money market mill feel the pinch and that her competition for concessions, con- tracts and all sorts of advantages throughout the world will be serious- ly starved. ; The point--which Dr. Butler makes so plainly--is that our neighbors can no longer live unto themselves alone. They can no longer evade "entang- ling alliances." They are already entangled to dozens of alliances, fis- cal, commercial, concessional, every activity with which a rich and en- terprising people are bound to pene- trate the less developed countries on all sides of them. Political alliances they can avoid--until in some day of danger they will need allies to face an, overwhelming hostile alliance. No nation ever again can fight a world in arms. But alliances, other than po- litical, they have in plenty today; and if the devotees of "nationalism gone mad" are given a free hand by the Senate, as they have to a con- siderable extent by the House of Representatives, these alliances are bound to be curtailed and the shin- ing edifice of exploitation and far- flung loans which has been erected upon them may easily crumble to pieces. or raise on his toes, a number of times daily, he will help to pump the blood upward back to the heart. Upward message of the legs has proven helpful also. If you are overweight it would be wise to get your weight down to normal or nearly normal. The thought then about varicose veins in the leg is that the blood in the leg contains less oxygen and more carbon dioxide, and should be moved along as above, If the veins are too thick and tor- tuous then they should be removed, either by operative removal or by slow injection method. These methods are both safe now.

The car in which he was riding towards the Walpole Island Indian reserve ran into a bridge on Dufferin avenue about three miles out of -town. Clar- ence Sands, the driver of the car and Bryon Johnson, one of the oc- cupants, were last night remanded to the county jail for one week without plea upon charges of driving an au- tomobile while intoxicated. It is an- ticipated that the fourth occupant of the car, Florence Shipman, will also be held. An inquest was opened by the Coroner, Dr. H. A.

Golds, chief instructor of the Mont- real Light Aeroplane club, and C. H. Dowd, of this city, a flying stu- dent and member of the club, were killed here late yesterday near St. Hubert airport when their plane, a gypsy moth, went into a nose dive, crashed to the ground and burst into flames. Eye-witnesses of the accident stated that the plane was only a few hundred feet in the air when it was noticed going into a turn, banking only slightly. Then the nose suddenly went down and the machine crashed to the ground. The crash occurred three miles from the airport near the Canadian National railway tracks where a number of men were working, Sev- eral people observed the accident but were unable to reach the mach- ine before it was completely de- stroyed by the flames. The two bodies, when finally removed from the smoking wreckage, were char- red beyond recognition. The di- rector of civil aviation was notified and arrangements were made for an official enquiry. || fmmigration barriers must go before hungry four billion GROWTH OF RACES Possibility of 150 years seeing double of population Chicago.--Mankind probably will quire at least 150 years to double the world's present estimated population, which is between 1,700,000,000 and 1,900,000,000, if fertility and mortality remain as at present, A mere doub- ling of the world's population how- ever, will produce a striking change in the race composition, with a great- ly increased percentage of Slavs, The population of North America, western and northern Europe, and Australia even now are no longer reproducing themselves. : Such were the conclusions present- ed to the sixth annual Institute of the Harris Memorial Foundation yecently in Mandell Hall of the University of Chicago, which conducts the institute, by Robert R. Kuezinski, council mem- ber of the Institute of Economics, Washington, and professor of econo- mics in the Berlin Handelschoch- schule, "The best estimate as to the in- crease in the world's population is that the present rate is about five- cighths of 1 per cent a year," said Professor Kuezinski. "If this rate were to persist, there would be a doubling of population in 110 years, At present, the total of human beings on the face of the globe is some- where between 1,700,000,000 and 1,900,- 000,000. But the earth's capacity is limited by the potential agricultural resources, and, assuming that there are 15,000,000,000 acres of arable land, and that 1:5 acres on an average are sufficient to support an individual, the maximum population would not have to be placed at less than 10,000, ,000, "Even allowing for all conceivable advances in science and technique, and assuming that all human effort be directed to the maintenance of a maximum number of people, it seems impossible that the earth might sus- tain more than six times its present population, or about. 12,000,000,000 peo ple. And to attain this maximum would involve, as Knibbs rightly puts it, 'a perfecting of human knowledge, of human organization, and of human character, which transcends all our ordinary conceptions of real possibili- ties. "Further, the population limit is re- stricted also by peculiarities of the human character which may find its expression in what we may briefly call national egoisms. The maximum of 10,000,000,000 or 11,000,000,000 can, of course be attained only with the freest possible migration. The United States, as all other. countries, would have to open the gates to all nations of the world; she would have to ac- cept her due share of the 10,000,000,- 000 or 11,000,000,000, say 800,000,000. She would have to forget everything about the national origins clause; she would have to welcome 10,000,000 or more immigrants without the slightest discrimination on account of color, race, or standard of living. "If, on the other hand, the people of the United States and of some other countries, which are compara- tively underpopulated, go on restrict- ing immigration as they do, it is hard to see how the earth--even allowing for every conceivable advance in sci- ence and technique--could possibly double its present population, SS STOCKS 17 KING STREET ForLonG &@ BONDS ~.
