FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1930 fully. faire. 7 He says: THE UTILITIES CHAIRMAN The selection of Frank L. Mason as chairman of Oshawa's first Public Utilities Commission, at its Inaugural meeting yesterday afternoon, is a well deserved. tribute to one who has given a splendid leadership to this community in matters pertaining to the hydro-electric system. As president of the Central Ontario Power Association since its incep- tion, Mr. Mason labored unceasingly for lower rates, and, finding that efforts in this direction were not having as much success as desired, he gave leader- ship to the movement whereby the municipalities in the system could acquire their own distribution plants. Prior to the vote by which Oshawa acquired its electric and gas utilities, Mr. Mason took an active part in the campaign, and was largely responsible for placing before the ratepayers of Oshawa the facts on which the overwhelming majority in favor of the purchase was based. In addition, Mr, Mason is a man of wide exper- jence in public service, for as warden of Ontario County and mayor of the City of Oshawa, he has served both his county and his city well and faith- In the new office to which he has been elected, he has a further opportunity for public service, one for which he is well fitted, and the people of Oshawa can have every confidence in his capabilities for filling the office in a painstaking and efficient manner. THE REMEDY FOR DEPRESSION Roger Babson is looked upen as the outstanding busines authority of the United States, as the man whose reports are eagerly absorbed by the big men of business as a guide to the conduct of their af- In an article which he wrote a few days ago, he gives his views on the methods necessary to bring business in the United States out of its period of depression, and to best carry out the program which has been prepared by President Hoover to create a better business condition. One sentence from that report stands out by fit- self. In it, Mr. Babsgff gives his ideas in a nutshell, his ideas of the tings necessary to stimulate ine dustry by keeping ¥p the nation's consuming powers, *"rhis can best bg done by keeping men employed, eliminating waste, developing trade, avoiding congressional disputes, which upset business, and through stimulation of demand by well-directed advertising cam- paigns, both national and foreign." Babson, of course, has long been cofiwinced of the tremendous power of newspaper advertiging in creat- interest awakened in industry, there are on fyle more than 800 applications for specidl- ized men, and the council has been able to fill half of them. Fifly Canadians have been brought back from the United States and positions found for them." These are refreshing figures. 'there was a great outcry because thousands of grad. uates of Canadian universities were crossing the border in search of employment in keeping with their training and qualifications. It was found that more of these university graduates were seeking employ- ment in the United States than in Canada, for the simple reason that there were few opportunities for technically trained men in this country. If, as Premier Ferguson suggests, the Ontario Re- search Counell, by its application of science to many lines of industry, is making it possible for these trained young men to find positions in which they can devote their lives to the building up of Canadian industry rather than that of the United States, then it has doubtly justified its existence, THE DAIRY INDUSTRY In some quarters there is a good deal of alarm be- cause there has been, during the last year, a con- siderable decrease in the number of milch cows in Canada. There has been a tendency to blame this on the poor state of the dairy industry, and in sup- port of this figures are quoted to show that Canada is importing an ever-increasing amount of butter from New Zealand, and is reducing her own output of butter. % This line of reasoning, however, is not exactly ac- curate, since the increased imports cof butter from New Zealand followed, rather than preceded the re- duction in Canada's butter production. To read some editorials which have been written on this subject, one would imagine that butter was the only product which Canada made from milk, and that because less butter is 'being manufactured, the industry is going to the dogs. That condition, however, is not admitted by the men in the dairy industry. At every dairy conven- tion, in the last two or three years at least, the key- note has been that the dairy industry is going ahead, and that its future prospects are bright. There has been no cause for a fecling of depression, save in , the minds of those who wish to give a political twist to certain factors in connection with the industry, such as the decreased butter production. It should be remembered that in recent years, new lines have been developed to open up markets for milk, and that these are taking a considerable pro- portion of the available supply. Powdered milk, for instance, is a comparatively new product that is con- suming an exceptionally large amount. And more raw milk and cream, too, are being shipped out of the country to the United States, leaving less avail- able for manufacture into butter. These are points which should be taken into consideration before any assertion is made that the industry is being ruined. Coming back to the fact that the number of milch cows in Canada is decreasing, there is a good reason for that. It is to be found, not in the decadence of Canada's dairy industry, but in the shortage of cattle in the United States and elsewhere, and in the tre- mendous demand which has grown up for Canadian animals to be used as foundation stock. This has resulted in such an inflation of prices far good qual- ity dairy cattle that the farmers could schreely af- ford to refuse to sell, and: so tens of thousands of Canadian dairy cattle, have found their way across the border, to Japan, and to the countries of South America. This has been a profitable business for the THE GLAMOR GONE No longer will those pictures which show artillery- men seated on their horses, while the animals go galloping into action with the guns, be up-to-date. There has always been something of a glamor about these pictures. The schoolboy revels in them, ar- tists have done their best work in depicting such scenes and even staid old men and women have felt a thrill in looking upon them, They seemed so full of life and action, and were typical of the glamor which used t shreonnd warfare. But, thos to an announcement of the depart- ment of national defence, these days are no more. Horses are to be dispensed with in the artillery forces, and instead of noble steeds expending their energies pulling the guns, motor transports will be hitched up to them, and will go puffing and snorthing along with their engines of war trailing behind theni. There will not be much of glamor in the new pic- tures of the artillery, but perhaps their is a sense of fitness in this, for the whole glamor of war has gone. It has become a grim and deadly business, with nothing of romance left in it, and their could not be anything much more grim than the sight of guns being dragged along a road behind mechanical trans- A few years ago By James W . Barton, M.D. VALUE OF A GOOD SWEAT A number of years ago in lectur- ing to school teachers about baths and bathing, I tried to point out the importance of the skin to the organism, That the idea that the skin was a sort of bag holding the body together, just a sort of cover- ing, was wrong, that the skin was really as delicately organized as perhaps any other organ. That as a matter of fact it threw off about a quarter of all the waste from the body. Further, that if the skin was not functioning well it put the work on the organs,, ké!neys, lungs and in- testine. A little later, the idea of the skin getting rid of much waste was rather doubted, and its main use was thought to be to get rid of the waste heat from the body. However, at the latest Physlo- logical Congress at Boston, Mass. it was shown that when the skin was subjected to dry heat, as much as four quarts or more of perspira- tion daily, for a long period of time could be produced. Now the chief waste in the per- spiratin is the same as that in the urine. If too much of this waste is re- tained in the bhlcod then the kid- neys suffer and what is known as chronic Bright's disease may fol- low. It has been shown that the ap- plication of dry heat to the skin to induce excessive perspiration can reduce the amount of this waste in the blood to an extremely low point---lower than any other method. The symptoms caused by this waste in the blood are thus reliev- ed, It has 'been shown that where there is swelling of tissues due to water in the system--such as drop- sy---that dry heat by inducing this perspiration, reduces the symptoms better than any other method. Where there ig a heart ailment, or very severe sypmtoms, only brief sweating is attempted, The point then is, that the old idea that skin is made to perspire can relieve the kidneys by throw- ing off wastes is absolutely cor- rect. That the skin not only throws off waste heat, thus reliev- ing the interior of the body, but throws off wastes also. However, it is the actively per- spiring skin that does that. You and I can thus help the circulation of the blood, the re- moval of heat and waste, by simp- ly working or exercising hard en- ough to induce a good sweat.

Over 5,000,000 persons in North America owe their livelihood directly or indirectly to this one form of modern enterprise and its acces- sories, But even that is only half the story. The vast network of pav- ed roads that twist across the conti~ nent and penctrate to almost every hamlet was ushered into existence by the motor car. Looking back even ten years we sce what a vast change in the countryside and its economy has been brought about by the motor car industry. The rushing through air at from 25 to 50 miles an hour has a thrill for people that does not lessen with age. 71he old folks like it even more than the Then there is the joy to very ordi- nary people of having under hand sixty or more wild horses represented by so much h.p. in your engine, Men and women who will never drive anyone, nor control anyone, not even themselves, find a natural lure in the fact that they cc this terrific power, can skim a ditc h shoot across a ndge, climb hills andl fly across valleys.

As you streak through the country you will notice that the gas- stations arc be-flowered and be- painted. That is a symbol of the new outlets the motor car has re- leased for humanity, and these out- lets are all to the good of men and women and children, And the feel- ing of clation that the motor car gives is one that does not like to travel alone.

It seems to me, for example, at times we would be more discriminating with our purchases, a little more selective in the emphasis which is placed up- on Canadian teaching in our schools and . slightly more prejudiced as re- gards the weekly and monthly liter- ature we read." ---------- Visitor--Who is that man you 8polkq to so politiely ?
