Color Blind Folk Danger to Traffic In a recent test on the Pacific Coast, Dr, C. O. Sappington re- ports in an announcement of the National Safety Council, of Chiec- ago, 27 individuals in a group of 375 dry goods salesmen were found to be seriously color blind without knowing it. This is more than seven per cent, although the average of color blind persons in the male population is supposed to be only about one per cent, the average among women belng much smaller still, Dry goods salesmen are not people, Dr. Sappington pointe out, among whom one would expect color blindness to be common, since that defect must be a seri- ous handicap in such jobs, Nevertheless, many of the 27 color blind individuals detected by the recent tests had been highly successful, Most of them refused at first even to consider the possibility of some defect in color sense, The tests, however, were unmistakable, If so many individuals with this defect can continue for years in so exacting an occupa- tion without themselves discov. ering something wrong, It is conceivable, Dr, Sappington ar- gues, that the percentage of color blind persons in the community may be much larger than ordin- arily believed; something which assumes considerable practical importance now that colored lights are used so widely for traf- fic signals and must be inter- preted correctly both by motor- ists and pedestrians, "One can- not help but wonder," Dr. Sap- pington concludes, "if a lot of the unsatisfactorily explained automobile accidents are not really due to color blindness," MESSENGER "BOY" IS 70 YEARS OLD Montreal, Que, White-hair- ed, but withal as active as many who are more than half a cen- tury his junior, James Thomas, Montreal's oldest telegraph mes- senger 'boy', recently celebrat- ed his 70th birthday by deliver ing messages as usual to the of- fices in the financial district.

N.S.W, ~~ Japan has been buying raw wool in Austra- lin on such a scale as to recall the dominant position that Japan as- sumed in the Canadian lumber export trade a few years ago. [Last season Japan was one of the chief purchasers of raw wool and there are indications that her verformance will be repeated this season, too, A new develop- ment this season will be the en- try of South Africa as a serious competitor for Japanese orders previously placed in Australia In view of Japan's heavy buy- ing last season, a reduction in her imports of fabrics might rea- sonably have been expected, But during the first half of the year Japan's shipments of woollen and worsted fabrics from the United Kingdom were greater than in the previous year.

The primary producer in Austra- lia is called upon to bear the burden of the tariff and at the game time, to risk the marketing welfare of his product, The wool {ndustry is seriously disturbed over the danger of Japan divert- ing its wool business to South Africa: ADVICE TO SCRAP POLITICS GIVEN Montreal, Que.-- Women Of Quebec were urged to scrap politics and spend their time working for the poor instead by speakers at the inaugural meet- ing of the Liberal L.

David from whom the new organization takes its name, Mr, David cautioned the: women not to forget in their interest in politics that they should remain women in every sense of the word, and that it was more important for them to merit the qualifying term "belles' than "good politicians." The Hon, Fernand Rinfret de- clared himself in favour of votes for women in this. province but asked that it be kept in mind that politics were a minor matter as compared with a relief pro- gramme, ers, said that while the women their services in ter ahead, politics meant much for them to desert the field Mrs, Emile 'David, president of the club, in answering the speak- fully realized the great need for the hard win- too FUL'O'PEP EGG MASh | ow......... $2.60 | Cw. 16 Celina St. i SUPERIOR 5 GRAIN SCRATCH FEED, $1.50 CWT.
