Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9th, 1930 PROSPERITY WEEK Today's issue of The Times is a striking {llustration of the idea behind Prosperity Week. The idea of the event is that by plac- ing money in circulation more business will be created for everyone, and naturally, more employment will be provided. The produc- tion of today's special Prosperity Edition, made possible . by the co-operation of the merchants and business men of the city, has already done that, for it has provided much extra employment for the members of the mechanical staffs of The Times, thus enabl- ing them to earn more wages and have more money to spend. This practical illustration shows 'the idea of the Prosperity Week Campaign, It is a Dominien-wide event, fostered with the idea of inducing those people who have not suf- fered from depression to loosen up their purse-strings now that the corner to pros- perity has been turned, and to spend their money freely in this great merchandising event. The success of Prosperity depends on just such individuals, and on its success depends the extent to which employment can be provided for the workers in the factories of Canada. A Dominion-wide campaign, car- ried out effectively, and based as largely as possible on the purchase of Canadian-made products, would stimulate industry tremen- dously, would place tens of millions of dol | lars in circulation, and all classes of the people would benefit materially. , Oshawa is doing well in its Prosperity Week campaign. It is showing the way to other communities. Let us hope that dur- ing the week itself, the people of this com- .. «munity will live out the idea of Prosperity Week with such whole-heartedness that bu- siness in Oshawa will be given a stimulus which will make its effects felt for many weeks to come. A CHALLENGE TO THE. EMPIRE Premier Bennett of Canada made for him- self a high place in the councils of the Bri- tish Empire by his keynote speech at the Im- perial Economic Conference yesterday. His speech was more than a message from Can- ada, setting forth the viewpoint of the Cana- dian people. It was more than the keynote of the conference. It was, if anything a challenge to the Empire, to the component parts of that great intangible entity which, bound by ties of blood, sentiment and com- mon sacrifie, represents the great Common- wealth of free nations living under the one flag and the one sovereign. Mr. Bennett has sensed the importance of the present occasion, has seized upon the fact that, from an economic standpoint, the nations of the Empire stand at the parting of the ways. to a closer economic unity which will make for the development of prosperity through out the whole Empire. On the other hand lies the road of separation in trade matters, in which the nations within the Empire will have to battle with other countries for their share of the Empire's trade. These were the two roads which Mr. Bennett pictured to the delegates from the Mother Country and the Dominions, and asked them to choose the one they wished to follow. The speech was a characteristic Bennett utterance. It was the embodiment of the principles which he adopted in pushing his unemployment relief legislation: through the special session of parliament. . action has' come," he declared, as he out- lined his ideas of the form which that action should take. He did not use diplomatic' a : of language at all. He spoke bluntly and plain- ly as he placed before his fellow-delegates the situation as seen through Canadian eyes,' and said: "First we must. approve or reject the principle (of ference). I put the question to you, and de- Finite it must be answered. There is promise, and there is no' room for com : possibilty of avoiding the iss e. » This » lain] Prat ths 'day is now. ; nly say y a iy ign the peoples of the Empire. must decide once and for all whether our welfare lies in closer economic union, or whether It not.

"There is the definite challenge to the Em- On the one hand lies the road - "The time for fore the: Crash."

That is the challenge which has to be faced by: the rest of the Empire within the next few days. Going into detail, Mr. Bennett made it clear that he did not propose to sacrifice his policy of "Canada " but made it clear that he considered that policy as an essen- tial part of the greater development of Em- pire trade. His chief concern, he said, was that Canada should find a market for its sur- plus of wheat, and in that thought he voiced the sentiments of all the people of this coun- try, whether grain growers or not, because that has become the vital point in Canadian prosperity. ; Mr. Bennett's proposals for a ten per cent increase in all tariffs against other countries, with a preference of that amount to coun- tries within the Empire, will probably form the chief debating point for the conference: Great Britain is still committed to a nominal policy of free trade, and it would seem as if Canada were demanding that the Mother Country abandon its historic policy. Yet British minds are leaning in the same direc- tion. Even Ramsay MacDonald has thrown out the suggestion that Britain might have to consider setting up tariff walls against foreign products for its own protection. And this challenge from Mr. Bennett may prove to be the turning point in British fiscal policy. So far as Canada is concerned, the policy is quite acceptable, since it is in line with the Conservative policy endorsed at the polls on July 28. And it is more than likely that it will meet with the approval of Aus- tralia, New Zealand and other parts of the Empire which are wedded to the principle of protective tariffs. It is not safe to try to predict what fate lies in store for the proposals of Mr. Bennett. Each part of the Empire will do as Canada has done, that is, study them from its own particularly viewpoint, and then try to work out in detail their application to the general problem of developing Empire trade. But from the viewpoint of the majority of the people of this country, Mr. Bennett has laid the foundation for a closer economic union within the Empire, and for a development of Empire trade which will be of inestimable benefit to Canada and to the other parts of the Empire as well. The challenge of the Canadian premier is the test of the ties of Empire, and the manner in which it is met will have a deep and lasting effect on the future destinies of the great British Com- monwealth of Nations. GIVE A MAN A JOB Again The Times wishes to call attention to the campaign which is being waged in the interests of finding casual labor for un. employed men. In the last two weeks, the campaign has met with a certain measure of success. A number of citizens have respond- ed nobly and have provided men with one, two, or three days' work, sufficient to help feed families which otherwise- would have been in dire distress. For these responses, the unemployed, we believe, are truly grate- ful, and The Times appreciates the efforts of those who have sought to do their duty in this respect. But the response has fallen far short of meeting the needs of the situation. There are still hundreds of people who could, if they only would, provide casual work for un- employed Oshawa men. All that is neces- sary is.that they should take the time to look around their homes and gardens, their stores and offices and laneways, and figure out how many days of work they could provide for a man. If every citizen with the means to do so would undertake this at once, hundreds of men would be working tomorrow, all over the city, at casual tasks which would bring them a few dollars. This would be worth while, for it would enable these men to earn a living by honest labor, and that is what the vast majority of the unemployed are trying to do. So, in the interests of these men, The Times reiterates its appeal, in the hope that the response will be much more general than it has been up to the present.

Perhaps you are wondering why you do not hear as much about the use of iodine in the treatment of goitre as you formerly did. You may remember that fodine was thought to be the one and only cure for goitre, and every civiliz- ed country in which goitre was pre- valent began to use it. Yet today you are hearing a great deal about the value of rest in these cases, and also about the brilliant surgical results that are being obtained by cutting out a part of the thyroid gland. Now what about 1odine? As a matter of fact iodine still stands as the ideal treatment in the prevention of yoitre, and also in the majority of goitre cases. In dis- tricts where goitre has always been prevalent, the use of iodine in the drinking water has been most ef- fective in preventing goitre. In some districts the children are giv- en a short course in fodine about twice a year and the results have been most satisfactory. If fodine is so effective why should rest and surgery be neces- sary? For just the same reason that when any condition has gone past a certain point more severe treat- ment must be used. In serious cases of tuberculosis where there is great loss of lung tissue, gas is pumped in, or the nerve is cut, to prevent movement of the lung This gives the lung a chance to rest and heal. Similarly in goitre, where the fo- dine is not effective, complete rest in bed is indicated. This is often a hardship financial- ly and otherwise, because a patient using iodine may be able to be about and earn his living. Where the fonine and the rest fail, and in cases where the goitre is really of a poisonous nature, sur- gery or the X-ray treatment must be used. The whole point is that jodine may and shculd be used in the ear- ly cases of goitre, and the patient be allowed to be about or go to work. If this is not sufficient, fodine and rest should be tried, and if not ef- fective then X-ray or surgery is in- dicated. Don't. delay on fodine alone if the case is not progressing favor- ably.

(Copyright, 1928) Significane of Ocular Symptoms Part "28" The foundation of a proper ex- amination of the eyes then must surely be based upon the patient's symptoms and history. Symptoms will undoubtedly give a very defin- ate indication of the patient's trou- ble and much better results will be expected by knowing as much as possible about the physical con- dition and temperament of the pa- tient, In remembering that the patient must be relieved of trouble or ad- vice would not be sought, a proper understanding is in evidence at the time of examination. When any information is withheld or improp- er answers given, the work of the examiner is made that much hard- er and very often the patient alone will suffer. Many of the symptoms may be associated with the person's par. ticular activities or with hygienic conditions, illumination, hours © work, etc. The conditions under which the person is working should be understood. The patient who seeks relief for their trouble can generally be ex- pected to respond readily and will get relief more quickly than the one who places price and time ex- pended ahead of the examination and correction.

REGENT THEATRE If you want to give your ears and eyes the season's biggest treat, go to the Regent Theatre tonight or tomorrow afternoon or evening and where you will find the long promised Fox Movietone triumph, John Mec- Cormack's first stellar vehicle, "Song O' My Heart." John McCormack's singing is worth anybody's price of admission --at concert prices, but this movie- tone has 4 story and is enacted su ably by the colorful supporting ar- ray of talent that in our humble opinion it is something you'll want to see more than once, Throughout the story, a beautiful romance with Maureen O'Sullivan ar- dently being wooed by John Garrick, we see--and hear McCormack and eleven really delightyul songs. The agreeable surprise about the songs aside from the clarity of their re- cording, is that never once is even a single one "forced". Each is an in- tegral part of the story that evolv:s coherently with the well turned plot of the story, thanks to author Tom Barry and adaptor Sonya Levien. McCormack's characterization as a saddened lover is so humanly enact- ed, one almost feels that he is living the role with this favorite tenor of all the world, But credit must be given to lovely 'Maureen O'Sullivan, latest movietone find for her engag- ing role as Eileen, daughter of his former sweetheart which role is bril- liantly handled by Alice Joyce. John Garrick, J. M. Kerrigan, Tommy Clifford, Farrell Macdonald and rest do justice to their parts, Director Frank Borzage must be credited as one of filmdom's out- standing directors and "Song O' My Heart" is his masterpiece. CHICAGO JUDGES SIDE WITH GUNMEN Declare Themselves as Not Part of Mob Wishing to Jail Racketeers Chicago.~Judges Harry M. Fish- er and Joseph B, David, of the eri- minal court, placed themselves for- mally on record as not being part of the "howling mob," as they put it, which is fighting to jail gunmen, hoodlums and racketeers. The judges, in separate hearings, in which the assistant state's attor- neys were rebuffed, used the same identical phraseology in announc- ing that they were not to be swayed fn their judicial acts, one of which turned a hoodlum loose on a bond cut in half, and the other in a case where two gunmen were sent to the municipal courts for trial. Assistant State's Attorney Char- les Rathburn engaged in a lively tilt with Judge Fisher, when the latter, despite protests, cut in half the bond of Joseph Condi, indicted under the Vagrancy Act. The grand jury has fixed Condi"s bond at $20,000 and Chief Justice John P. McGorty some weeks ago had re- fused the amount. Judge David said he could not be bothered trying such misdemea- nors as "gun-toting." Judge David literally threw gun- toting charges against Dominick Brancato, aged 24, and Dominick MUCH OPPOSITION Britain Had to Wait Fifty Years Bill First Went e House Manchester, Eng, Oct. 9--~""Ar- rangements for next year's numbers ing of the people go forward with out any hint of such opposition as was roused by the first proposal to institute a census in Great Britain," says a writer in the Manchester Guardian, When in 1753, a bill was introduced into Parliament "for tak ing and registéring an account of the total number of people," there was a tremendous outcry, chiefly on religious grounds, with much quot- ing of Seripture to prove such a pro- ceeding unlawful in the sight of Heaven. In the" House one oppone ent declared he could not have be- lieved there was "any set of men-- and, indeed, any individual of the human species--so abandoned and presumptuous as to make such a pro. posal," while another reported that he agreed with his constituents. in regarding the proposal as ominous evil "and feared lest some public misfortune or an epidemical distem- pir should follow the numbering.' spite the opposition the billl passed 10 FIRST CENSUS NEW MARTIN THEATRE "Big Boy" Guinn Williams, who appears in the role of the heavy- weight battler, Tiger, in James Cruze's "The Big Fight" at the New Martin Theatre, had himself all set for a baseball career. Although Guinn is a well-known all-round ath- fete, - the diamond appeared to him the most satisfying way of achieving fame. Will Rogers, gum-chewing cowboy stage star upset these plans by offering Guinn an opportunity to "get into the movies." This was in 1919. He then appeared in "Black Cyclone" for Pathe and a series of cowboy pictures for Hal Roach. The tip-top physical condition in which Guinn keeps himself serves him to excellent advantage in the role of Tiger in "The Big Fight." When the fight sequences between the Tiger and the battler (Tony Sta- beneau) are presented, they are packed with genuine thrills, suspense and entertainment. Since both Guinn and Stabeneau are professional pug- ilists, these fight scenes are the last word in realism and fistic skill. "The Big Fight" is a James Cruze production, directed by Walter Lang. It is based on the successful Belasco stage success in which Jack Dempsey starred. Max Marcin and Milton H. Gropper are the authors. In the large cast are Lolo Lane, Stepin Fetchit, Ralph Ince, Wheeler Qak- man, Edna Bennett, James Eagle, Robert O'Connor. Walter Woods provided the scenario.

A large number of com- plaints have recently been received - by the Department in this connec- tion," it was stated. "The trafic officers have been in- structed that they must deal vigor- ously with all breaches of the traf- fic laws in that particular respect.

SCHOONER LOST WITH FIVE ABOARD Halifax Holds Grave Fears For Integral Toronto Man in Crew Halifax, Oct. 9.--Reported on September 17, nearly 1,000 miles north of Barbados, the Lunenburg schooner Intregal, bound for that port from Halifax, has not since been heard of. Grave fears are held for the vessel and her crew of five, Commanded by Captain E. A. Sarty of Lunenburg, the Intregal sailed from this port for Barbados with lumber on August 21. On September 17 she was spoken by the 8.8. Delilian, which reported her position to Zwicker and Com- pany, of Lunenburg, as 970 miles off her destination. At least three hurricanes have crossed the path of the Intregal since then. The trip to Barbados is ustially a three weeks' run, Besides Captain Sarty the vessel carried James B. Lindsay, 29, of Toronto, who joined the Intregal at Halifax 'as deck-boy, and stated she was his first ship: and Seamen Edward Meagher, of Guysboro, Fred Fiander, of Cape Bretton, and Freeman Clarke, a native of Great Britain.
