"SATURDAY, APRIL 25th, 1981 UP GO THE PRICES |, e inevitable result of a drastic tariff se such as was promulgated by the pion government this week against cer- vegetables, has already happened. Yes- it was announced that the price of id lettuce from the southern states had imped three dollars per case, which will nake the price of lettuce prohibitive for all 'but the rich. Prices of the other six veget- J affected are expected to make similar pces. And rumor has it that fruits will next. 'The tariff, we hasten to state, is not, how- 'an unmitigated evil.

The food 'value is no greater, but because they are ped on the Canadian market so that they n be sold here at low prices, they are turn- over quickly while Canadian grown pro- ice lies in the bins and rots. The production of these staple vegetables fects many more producers than does that the more fancy green vegetables. If the rnment wants to help the producers thout affecting the consumers too harshly, sideration should be given to these items. | THOSE WHO CANNOT SPEAK 5 "There are many things that those with manitarian ideals can find to do, but not least of these worthy tasks is caring for n's animal friends. The dog and the e, described as man's best friends, and other animals that are pets or servants, ould sometimes lead a sorry life if it were or the band of men and women that in- 'itself in their welfare. Oshawa Humane Society is doing a worthy work of this nature in this city. only does the organization provide shel- for homeless animals, and diligently in- vestigate and remedy by all means in its power, cases of cruelty brought to its no- ¥ ces but it has embarked on a splendid edu- nal campaign whereby juveniles are ught to love and care for their dumb y sisted only by a small grant from the ¥, the society employs an inspector, main- | shelter, and does all of the various thrown its way. Finding that addi- funds are absolutely necessary if the is to continue, the organization has application, and has been granted Fak m, to hold a tag day on Saturday, May iberal donations are asked of &ll in the sity who can afford to contribute, and a num- ¢ of assistants are also required to assist he tagging work. Without a doubt this worthy cause, and deserves all the time 'money given to it. WHEN IS A DRIVER DRUNK dges and juries who fry allegedly en drivers are hard put to it sometimes side whether the driver was actually the influence of liquor. A discovery ed to the American Chemical Society tly by Dr, Rollo N. Harger of the med-- school of Indiana University may help te the evidence in these cases more He declares it is possible to detect ly by simple chemical tests the pre- alcohol in the breath of a person gh no odor is voticeabls, Cy There may be a bjt of humor in a police- man ordering a suspect to blow up a toy bal- loon in order to give the chemist a sample of his breath, but, should the test prove re- liable, there would also be as sound reason 'for the practice as for fingerprinting. Some judges, however, debating the moot question, "When is a man intoxicated?" may insist as a certain English magistrate is re- ported to have done recently, that & man is not drunk so long as he can walk without stumbling. It would be a sad mistake to ap- ply this rule to the drinking automobile driv- er. Indeed, the laws of most American sta- tes apply not merely to driving while drunk bat to driving while under the influence of quor. Upon the important question of the point, at which this influence may become danger- ous, Prof. Albion Roy King, of the school of philosophy at the University of Southern California points out in the Scientific Tem- perance Journal that the mental capacities are narcotized by beverage alcohol even be- fore physical effects are visible. The first faculties to be affected are those of self-con- trol and judgment, and surely these are of utmost importance in driving. It is clear enough that the alcoholic slowing down of the eye-and-muscle reaction involved in mov- ing the foot from the accelerator to the brake may be disastrous, but even sooner, with the first drink and the consequent loss of the finer inhibitions, there comes an im- pulsiveness which has no place at the steer- ing wheel, Corroboration is given by William Brady, M.D., who, speaking of "an ordinary bever- age use of alcohol", said in his syndicated newspaper column a few weeks ago: The victim's judgment is impaired . . . His high- er faculties are temporarily inhibited or dulled. . , . The individual's time is invariably slowed by alco- hol; it takes him a mite too long to react in an em- ergency; so that he drives into a wreck where in an unintoxicated state he should avoid the accident. Here is a clear point which the law, unfortunately, fails to consider, 'In view of this testimony it seems fairly plain that a test which will detect even the smallest trace of alcohol on the breath of an automobile driver is none too strict. Laws should give the courts authority to take full cognizance of what it means in the light of modern research to be "under the influence of alcohol." From the millions who drive motorcars society has a right to demand not merely "moderation" in drinking, but total abstinence.--Christian Science Monitor. EDITORIAL NOTES A remarkable demonstration of courage was that exHibited by a St. John man who crawled 150 yards for aid after a train had crushed both legs, then, while waiting for an operation in the hospital, calmly talked to his wife by telephone. Citizens of Oshawa will be fervently be- hind Mayor Marks in his efforts to secure better street lighting. Ferguson has again received considerable prominence by the assertion that Canada may eventually be the centre of the empire. But we venture the assertion that the genial Howard will not be on the scene. The musical competition idea has now spread to 'the villages and rural schools. It is a splendid move, and the next generation of Canadians should be the bet- ter for it. Other Ed itors' Comment (Boston Transcript) Somehow we fear for the success of that clerkless grocery that has just opened in New York. You drop a coin in the macherel or lobster slot and out the creature flops at you. So with the steaks and chops. But suppose, when the fish is in your hands, it looks up at you with a sunken and luStreless eye, or you find the steak as tough as old boots? How can you realieve your feelings upon senseless auto- mat? In the face of all the inventive genius that is spent on robots and other mechanical labor-sav- ing devices of the 'kind the days of the efficient marketman and grocery clerk are b® on means num- bered.

(Copyright, 1928) WHEN | WAS A CHILD I SAW AS A CHILD -- PART "1" In our study of children it is often noticed that they have a fascination for reading even during formative years and later when they have ac- quired a first knowledge of reading "this desire to learn as much as pos- sible about Fairy Tales, Kingsley's Heroes, Robin Hood, Robinson Cru- soe and many interesting stories for boys and girls which are written for the purpose of assiting in the mould- ing of charatcer leads them to an over effort in their zeal in absorb- ing as much as possible even at the expense of their sight by reading long hours at a time, and ih dull light at dusk." This desire is keener in some children than in others and hence the habit of reading even in dim light. Because children have not the knowledge to properly enable them to protect their posessions it natur- ally follows that those they are de- pendant upon should extend this pro- tection in a proper way because neg- fect at this period in life may prove the truth of the saying "as a child sees in its formative years so is its health later on." In addition to the discomfort accuring through over use of the eyes certain habits are formed such as stooping or slanting positions created through changing positions of the desire to see just a little more before stopping, this may lead to stooping and curvature.

Actions bring results, All citizens should act, and act to- gether to help business. business is the one big way to help a city. Helping | "substantial difficulties, 'had result- ed in a sincere difference of opin- fon as to the proper rate of ad- vance. The eagerness of Indians to be on a more equal A footing with their fellow-citizens in the Dominions came to a crucial turn- ing point at the Round Table Con- ference last year in London, re- called. Sir Willlam, Summing up the result of this epoch-making meeting, he pointed out that the greatest outcome had been the realization that an All-India Fed- eration was likely to prove the only satisfactory solution to In- dia's problem. 8 "Thus, at the very beginning of the Conference," said Sir William, "a new note was struck, a new and momentous proposal was brought forward--momentous be- cause, as the British Prime Min- ister pointed out at the close of the Conference, many people, be- fore it was made, were doubtful whether British India alone could bear central authority, and so the whole structure of the Indian con- stitution was in doubt. Now, with the support of the States, the question took a wholly different aspect." The Federation scheme after- wards temporarily elaborated was that of a self-government as un- derstood in a Dominion, but the most importafit and the most dif- ficult of the questions left out- standing was the question of safe- guards for the various Indian au- thorities. This was met with a statement read hy the Prime Min- ister, Mr. MacDonald, at the final session, This statement, which de- clared 'that His Majesty's govern- ment would be prepared to rec- ognize the principle of the respon sibility of the executive to the legislature, the basic principle of British parliamentary government, had a profound effect in India, sald Sir Willlam, Cites Gandhi's Truce The truce af Delhi between Mahatma Gandhi and Viceroy Lord Irwin, which was a virtual result of the Conference, and the end of the civil disobedience cam- paign, Sir William remarked showed that co-operation is grad- ually taking the place of absten- tion and opposition, in spite of the disquieting Hindu-Mahommetan riots which recently followed at Cawnpore, an example of the com- munal problem which can be solved only by the Indians themselves, "I have not attempted to mini- mize the difficulties that remain," Sir William said in concluding, "but I trust that I have been able to show that there are now solid grounds for a great hope. And we who care for India, and who also know Lord Willingdon, his wis- dom, his courage, his broad hu- manity, his devotion to the service of the State, will draw much en- couragement ' from the thought that at this crucial period of her History, the guidance 'of India's destinies will be in his hands." TINE LINT SOUGHT ON DEPORTATIONS Ottawa Reported Ready to Consider Proposal For Change in Law (Canadian Press Despatch) Ottawa, April 25.--~The Govern+ ment is understood to be well dis- posed to consider a.proposal that a time limit shall be fixed In regard to deportations, Tt is admitted there is much to be said in favor of chang. inb the immigration laws so that ne immigrant from say. Great Britain who came to Canada could be de- ported after living here a certain number of years. However, the pro- vinces may have something to say about than, If such immigrants be- come charges on the public, it is the province which have to foot the bill. - Most of the deportations against whieh the protests were raised in the British House today and recent. ly in Britain were made at the re- quest of tha previnces, Although no conference has yet been arranged. Nore te) Ee cy sentatives of the Dominion Govern- ment and the provincial Govern- ments will foregather after the ses- sion closes to make provision for unemployent next winter, and it is not improbable but that on that oc- casion the question of a time limit within which a person may be de- ported might be canvassed. Recently Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Immigration, issued a statement in respect to a number of deportations in support of the ae- tions which were taken. The depart. ment claims to have equally good cause for the deportations question- ed in the British House yesterday. It was stated emphatically here last night that Canada would never relinquish her exclusive right to regulate immigratfon into this coun- try from any source.

It is the immigration laws of the Dominions which interfere with it IRISH THEATRE FOR LONDON WEST END London, April 25.--J. B. Fagan, the Irish playwright and dramatic author, is engaged at present on 2a scheme for opening an Irish Theatre in the West End of Lon- don. "It has been my idea to open a theatre of this kind for a long time," says Mr, Fagan. "We have promises of financial support, and I know that the scheme has the very good will of the Irish Free State Government, and it is prob- able that it may receive the Gov- ernment's assistance." He added that the theatre would not be entirley for the Irish population of London, and besides Irish plays the best Europ- ean dramas would be produced.

SUCCESS IS ALWAYS ACHIEV- ED WHEN EVERY CITIZEN WORKS AND PULLS TOGETHER INDIA ADVANGES TO NEW FOOTING IN EMPIRE CIRCLE Sir William Clark, British High Commissioner, Tells Toronto Luncheon of In- dia's Aspirations (Canadian Press Despatch) Toronto, April 256.--'The old order is changing, ylelding place to the new," commented Sir Wil- liam Clark, British High Commis- sioner, in the course of an ad- dress on "The Current Situation in India", .at the Rotary Club luncheon here today, "But let us never forget," he continued, "that the new order to which India is advancing is the same as that which. among the white people of the Empire, has wrought for a stronger loyalty and a surer unity under the Crown." The national spirit has grown in India, in the last fifty years, with the increasing contact of In- dians with England, remarked Sir William, and, in spite of the many causes for division--the im- mensity of its population, the di- versity of its languages, the caste system--the consciousness of na- tional unity has grown steadily and become "a vital inspiration among the politically minded, and fis spreading in a way which would have been inconceivable twenty years ago, among the less educat- od clasges."
