district has lost con sidtrablt natural wealth and is that much poorer as a consequence jtn this connection we might emphasin tlie desirability of protecting as far as possible the very limited number of this country s ane old tie tliat still remain in the case of the tree in question mr arnold was tully alive to its value and did not decide to cut it down until it became evident that it was dying and that decay if left to do its work would in a few years destroy much of the lumber which it now contains getting someone who would under take to ft ii the big tree mr arnold found a difficult task and proprietors of some ntarby sawmills stated that ihey would be unable to handle logs of that size even if they were delivered to them and the problem of delivery was also a serious one however though not experienced woodsmen messri w r and r k hamilton undertook the work and carried it through to a successful conclusion with a st ven foot crosscut saw they cut the stump through until the

claiming to be a good and true canadian shall approach this grand inquest of the nation with a deep sehse of responsibility it is not sufflcieruvdischarge of duty on our liart to merely look upon a general election as a chance to get our party in and keep the other jarty out canada ls a young country a for ward looking country it cannot be held m the grip of yesterday it la like the embryo chicken in the shell it must burst the shell and come forth in order to live to stay in the shell means that the chicken will gp rotten and die the bursting of the shell sts the seal on life we men and women of canada must always be looking ahead and stop imitating lot s wife who looked behind and got pre served in salt for her pains for these reasons and thpy are good sound rea sons we must meet the opportunity of the coming elections with seriousness and sincerity not with the llghthearv edness of joy wagoners nor the in sincerities of the practical politicians the problems of our country s admin istrairm should be considered and studied the best policies for the wel fare of canada and the manner tn which we canadians can make our best contribution to the life of the world in which we live these should be our concern rather than the flap doodle of speakers on the hustings or the pull of inherited party leanlngs our voles must be delivered for canada to ensure its best develop ment within the empire and for ef ficient administration of the national heritage we should study the party platforms and satisfy ourselves as to the best policy for the country keep- sioht the world is bright with beauty and its days art filled with music could we only know true ends from tolse and lofty things from low could we but tear away the walls tliat graze our very elbows in life s frosty ways behold the width beyond us with its glow where doubt itself is but a golden haze r ah bcouwrs still upon our pathway lies the shadows of dim weariness and fear yet if we could but lift our earthward eyes to see and open our dull ears to hear then should the wonder of this world draw near and lifecssinnumcrable harmonies ifesinnu new wireless wonder if we give our votes to men of chara ter ability and honesty and support parties whose programmes are in our judgment likely to be helpful to the country then we shall not go far astray somehow or other the best laid schemes of crooked politicians go astray and there is a divinity that shapes thp end of countries and we have jately had news of a won derful new development un wireless made by marchese kfarconl making use of waves only a few metres in length he has been able with a tiny transmitting set to converse by tele phone from his own yacht emftfti with austrailla and other distant parts of the world these short wave lengths are amongst the great est wonders of wireless the marvel of marchese marconi 5 new invention is not that he has been able to com municate with distant places on the short waves for this takes place every day it lies in the astonishing smallness and simplicity of his apparatus any reader interested in wireless may test for himself the wonders of the short waves for a receiving set capable of bringing in stations at the far side of the world need contain no more than two valves the technical papers publish instructions for build ing such sets according to an article in ttd bits even a single valve will enable a good deal of telephony to oe heard ordinary broadcasting ls done up on wavelengths between about 200 and 500 metres such lengths surge up and down between 600 000 and 500 000 times a second those are ing in mind the fact that this isa i terrific figures but they are nothing voung country and a growing one when we come to the short waves from cmktea ray eel i none give it all away cet each of us do our part unselfishly without par- tizanship without fear or favor and the general elections will prove new baptism of power fof canada offfrrfd dutifs a shiftless irishman who has been reduced from wealth to being a semi public charge when told to finish a certain task was overhear to sav sure t never do today what i can leave t ill the morning he revealed the secret of his fall from affluence to want there is nothing that will sooner make shipwreck of a life than to put off the performance of our duties deferred duties usually mean neglected duties in this field accum ulation is the energy of accomplish ment accumulated dividends may be a very good thing but they are never earned by allowing unfinished tasks to pile up on us when we have to admit that there are a score of duties that have been awaiting our attention for days or weeks or months that ought to have had our attention long ago we may at the same time safely admit that some thing is wrong with our plan of life the whol trouble probably lies in our not doing today what we ought to do to day and that results from two sins misusing some of our time and wasting some of our time the i ight selection of our tasks and then intense concentration on our tasks wilt put a stop to the fatal accumula mon no one has any right to stag m r along under the burden of unfln ished tasks that ought long ago to have been put out of the way canadian medical assoc saffty for bathers outdoor bathing is healthful swim ming is a fine exercise since it brings into use all the large muscles of the body in addition to the refreshing effect of the swim there ls also tht advantage of the sun bath unfortunately every summer there ire a number of tragedies resulting from outdoor bathing carelessness and over confidence are the causes o these tragedies it ls not so often the ierson who cannot swim who is the victim as it ts the swimmer who at lejnns ten to sixty metres where undulations occur from 000 000 to 30 000000 times in every second of timet under favorable conditions tele graphy has been carried out uflon the wavelets over enormous distances with almost incredibly small power some time ago two amateurs one in england and one in new zealand tapped out questions and answers though neither was using more pow er than is consumed by an ordinary pocket flashlamp when they are sent out by a sta tion of the same power as 2lo and 5gb short wave transmissions span the world with almost incredible strength on a receiving set such as that just mentioned it la often pos sible for the loud speaker to all the average house with music picked up jrectr one of the hutch tytlnna more power and pickup of course it is an age of machinery but manpower is stiulthe most im portant factor in human

is that such transmission travels faster than time itself you pick it up at two pjn in your own home though the local time in java ls nine o clock that same evening and should you hear a con cert from java at any time after five- o clock on say monday evening it is queer to think that the time when tt started on its journey was the small hours of tuesday morning broadcasting from canada the united states australia south am erica and africa is to be heard whilst many other great european stations send out their programs also upon the short waves for the benefit of ilsteners in far away lonely places during his journey to the south pol ar regions commander byrd received news and entertainment constantly from his own country by short waves sometimes the short waves play strange tricks their speed takes them many times round the earth in a second and sometimes they make the journey more than once an op erator sometimes hears the s coming to him accompanied by an echo the louder sound is caused by the coming of the wave direct to his aerial the echo is due to the second lap round the world put in by the wave lastly the short waves can be con centra led into a beam like the rays of a searchlight suitable reflectors being used for the purpose a wire less beam can be directed to any re ceiving station and by its use won derful results have been achieved general news we do not

trunks around like that the porter gawped the passengers were dumb with amazement then he continued that s no way to act look what youve dona to the platform 1 we do think however that a common- sense moderation ls required in regard to swimming as it in with other things in life you should not go in the water right after a meal wait until the food you have eaten has had time to be digested exhaustion is always dangerous it ls never wise to strain the body hy pushing it too far to the point of ex haustion and if this is done in swim ming it simply invites trouble always stop before you are tired out it ls a mistake to go in bathing alone someone should be within call in case of an accident anyone who suffers from fainting spells or epileptic seizures should keep out or the water or at least out of anything excepting very shallow water and in the latter case only in the com pany of a friend persons with heart disease kidney disease and those who have a high blood pressure should not go in bathing excepting upon the ad vice of their physician and then only under the conditions and for the length of time he recommends fveryone should know how to swim ind unless you can swim it

or that bf another inability to swim cuts you out of many pleasant hours during the summer if you cannot swim do not be foolish to take chances learn to swim if you pan swim a little bit do not get
