The announcement that the Bank of Mon- treal is to take over the former premises of the Canadian Bank of Commerce on Simcoe: Street North, and is to make extensions to that office to accommodate its growing busi- ness, is another sign of the confidence which men in the business and financial world have in Oshawa. It is all the more striking since it is the third such announcement in Oshawa within recent months. First the Canadian Bank of Commerce carried out extensive additions to its office at the corner of King and Simcoe Streets. The second announce- ment was that of the Central Canada Loan and Savings Company, which is at present enlarging its premises on Simcoe Street North. And now the Bank of Montreal is making plans of a similar nature. The banking activity of a community is a sound index of its progress and prosperity, visitors, or in inducing buying by tourists on a large scale. It has been said, and with. much truth, that Canada can offer to the visitor greatér natural attractions than ei- 'ther France or Switzerland, yet there is no effort made to capitalize the tourist traffic as ig done in these two countries. - Dr, P, E. Doolittle, president of the Can- adian Automobile Association, makes an in- teresting comment on the value of the tour- ist traffic, as follows: "We hear much these days of the de- pletion of Canada's natural resources, but here is a developing trade in tour- ist traffic which, within'a decade or two, will be the largest single business in the Dominipn--and the beauty of the Dominions scenery cannot be depleted. We merely sell Ontario scenery as the theatre man sells his house out to- night, and resells it to another audience tomorrow. The tourist represents a real harvest, and we should cultivate that traffic from one end of Canada to . the other, because, of course, each sec- tion of the Dominion has its own char- acteristic beauty." There is much in what Dr. Doolittle says, but he only misses one point. That is the necessity of publicity of the right sort to make that harvest ready for the reaping, Canadians have not yet learned the art of telling the world about what they have to offer, and until they can overcome that mis- taken modesty, the full benefits of the tour- ist traffic will not be realized. WILL IT LAST? France has a new government. Premier Chautemps, a new name added to the long list of those who have held that position in recent years,--has been able to gather a cabinet around him to carry on the work of government, and, at the same time, to un- dertake the task of representing France at the important naval conference. There is a note of disquietude in the an- nouncement of the new government, how- ever, that must give rise to some anxiety. It is openly hinted that it will not survive beyond its first vote in the chamber of de- puties, that it will be defeated and voted out of office as soon as it has made its official and it is gratifying to note that these three j~declatation of policy. banking institutions have found it necessary to enlarge their premises to take care of their present and future business. The of- ficials of banks are noted for their_careful- ness in investing their capital funds, so it can be atken as a sign of the utmost confi- dence in Oshawa's future that the banks are preparing for even bigger business in the future than has been experienced in the past. This is a healthy omen, and one which should be taken to heart by the people of Oshawa in considering the position of the community in which they live. THE NEW BLUE SKY LAWS On the face of them, the proposed amend- ments to the Security Frauds Prevention Act introduced into the legislature of Om- tario by the attorney-general, seem to be far reaching in their scope, and, if properly observed and enforced, should go far to pro- tect the interests of those people who entrust their funds into the hands of others for in- vestment or speculation. The amendments have been presented as a result of the con- 'ference between representatives of six pro- vinces of Canada, so that they are the re- sult of the considered opinion of men who ... ought to know how to eliminate the unde- i ------ sirable features that have prevailed in stock market dealings and in the operations of stock brokers. One cannot tell until the amendments are actually in operation whether they will have the desired effect or not. In the meantime, however, they have to be discussed in the legislature, and the government would be well advised not to take too arbitary a stand on its own proposals. Although it has the preponderance in numbers, the government has no monopoly on the brains of the legis- lature, and it is qujte possible that in the debate on the amendments, members of the opposition may have some useful sugges- tions to offer to make the act as perfect as it can be made. A question of this kind, which involves "the protection of the people of Ontario against fraud and dishonesty, should not be made a political issue, but should be handled 5 4 5 b i ¥ * f in a non-partisan manner, so that the best brains of all parties can be eoncentrated on the one great aim. of restoring public con- fidence in the affairs of the stock exchanges and those associated with them. "ARE CANADIANS TOO MODEST? The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is devoting much attention to the possibilities of increasing Canada's prosperity through the medium of tourist trade." This trade has grown tremendously in recent years, but the full effect of it has by no means been felt, largely because there has been no organized effort to point out to tourists the many ad- vantages which are to be found in holidays in country, and, to a larger extent, the advantages of buying in Canada many ar ticles 'which can be purchased much more . ¢heaply here than at home. It seems to be a fact that Canadians are 'much too modest regarding the advantages of their own country. Théy are not pre- pared to spend money in making these "Ymown to an ever-increasing "multitude of That would be an unfortunate position, but one which, of course, must be foreseen in the present state of French parliamentary representation. What is needed now, above all else, is 2 French government of stability, a government that will have a strong ma- jority in the chamber of deputies so that it can carry on the work at the London con- ference to a successful completion. So that, while recognizing that the crisis is not yet completely over, it is to be hoped that sta- bility will be secured in time to make the participation of France in the naval confer ence again possible within a few days. CUTTING DOWN THE COUNCIL Many municipalities are giving serious consideration to the reduction of the numer- ical strength of their civic councils. Thus St. Thomas is seeking legislative per- mission to cut down its City Council from a mayor and 11 councillors to a mayor and seven, while New Toronto is asking the right to reduce from nine to seven members. This trend i= significant in the indication it gives of the fact that people are becoming commission-minded; that is, that they are fast approaching the stage when they will demand municipal government by commis- sion in preference to the present method. It is generally admitted that municipal business is handled with greater despatch as well as with greater efficiency by a small council than by a large and unwieldy body of civic legislators. That explains the move in various cen- tres to cut down the size of the council, which is, of course, a long step forward in the direction of the commission form of gov- ernment. The results attained in those cities which succeed in reducing, their councils will be watched with great interest by the people of other communities.--Peterboro Examiner.

THE CAR BEAUTIFUL (Toronto Globe) These are great days in Toronto for lovers of the automobile. The Ontario Motor Show is under way, and the various display emporiums veritably are visions of delight, Old and young are attracted by the mag- nificence of the new automobiles that during the comung summer arg to make travelling one of the delights of life. The talent of inventive gen- ws and the skill of expert workmen have been requisitioned in the pro- duction of these beautiful models. Symmetry of outline appears to have been a primary aim of the builders, and hand in hand with graceful! lines goes strength in its most compact form, with passenger comfort wait- ing upon all. Even the experienced automobile owner or driver will be amazed at the additional charm of this year's cars. Little improvements here and there make for greater sim- plicity in operation, while the "en- semble," with its delicate color scheme, is a delight to the eye even of an artist. Great crowds in atten- dance at the show indicate that the car is the thing and that this year there js a model to suit every taste.

One of the lessons learned from the 1918 epidemic is that the placing inmates of institutions in quarantine by preventing them and their nurses coming in contact with the outside world, was of great help in prevent- ing the spread of influenza mn these institutions. In the state institutions around New York the advent of influenza was greatly delayed by quarantine methods, "The first death in them, certified as due to influenza, occured October 10th; or about twenty three days after the epidemic had defin- itely begun in the rest of the state.' At Lakevilie Sanatorium for Tu- berzulosis in Massachusetts, none of the patients or employces living on the premises had influenza in the 1918 September-Ott8ber epidemic, Leaves of " absence for" patients were completely stopped, visitors ex- cluded, and patients advised to keep well apart {from one another. When precautions were discontinued later in the winter, two patients came back from leaves of absence with well de- veloped cases of influenza, and in @ few days about thirty cases devel oped in the sanatorium. "At the Western Pennsylvania In. stitution for the Blind in Pittsburg, quarantine measures were put in force and the usual week-end 'trips home discontinued, and although the school was in session from Septem- ber 21th to November 30th, and was in a district where influenza was prevalent, there was 'not a single | case of influenza in the school." I believe you 'will agree with me | that with the above figures before) us we cannot afford to ignore the fact that influenza was transferred from one person to another, and in no other manner. So although we have still much to | learn about influenza, its course, pre- | vention and treatfuent, we do know | that the only way to contract it is| by personal contact with infected persons or those just recovering from influenza. \ The lesson for us all is self evi- dent.

"A diug peddler may receive a seven- year tern; if he sells to a minor he may also receive the lash. The police may search without warrant auy vessel, vehicle or receptacle thought to contain drugs, As a result of this strictness, importations of cocaine a- lone have decerased from 19,000 oun- ces in 1919, to 3,000 ounces in 1925. "The. Royal Canadian Mounted Police, provincial police and munici- pal police all co-operate in staying the traffic. We don't claiin to be gaining ground but we are holding our own, "About 80 per cent. of drug addicts we find have criminal records.
