This statement shows? that with the proper men on the housing com- mission, the Ontario Housing Act can be made a suceess. Kingston did not have a chance to try it during the past year because the aldermen were afraid that the houses bullt would not be satisfactory. They have Lnow had the benefit of the experien- ces of other cities, and these experi- ences have been so satisfactory that it would be well worth while for Kingston to come under. the provis- ions of the act as early as possible in 1920, so that the housing situation in 'the city can be cleared up once and for all, The situation is still as bad as ever, and th® long-suffering pub- lic of the city are tired of waltink for this present council to do sofe- thing to relieve it. They look far- ward to the next council for sympa- thetic and progressive treatment of the problem, and it is s'neerely to be hoped. that they will not be dis- appointed.

In early years the barber not only cut hair and shaved people, but he was also a surgeon. He was a sur- geon to the extent that he bled peo- ple. In early times our knowledge of surgery was practically limited to blood letting. A great many of the afiments were attributed to too much blood in the body, and when any- thing got wrong with a man or wo- man, the first thing they thought of was to reduce the amount of blood in the body by taking some of it out. The town barber was the man who did this for people and hig pole repre- sented the sign of his business. The round ball at the top which was generally gilded represents the barbering end of the business, It stood for the brass basin which the barber used to prepare lather for shaving customers . The pole itself represants the staff which people who were having blood taken out of their bodies held during the operation. The two spiral ribbons, me red and one white, which = are 'Painted spirally on the pole, repre- sented the bandages. The white one stood for the bandage which was put on before the blood was taken out and the red one the bandage which Rippling Rhymes IN THE DEPTHS The future looks gloomy; my eyes have grown rheu The Toronto and Hamilton news. papers geem anxious to have their respective cities take over the street railways, We Hear vere little of this kind of agitation in Kingston. ) Semis IT rc py Will Not Wait if Delay Over Treaty «3 Ratification, | Patls, Nov. 28 ---Any delay which | may eventually be found necessary in the exchange of ratifications re« fused to put the German peace treaty into effect will not change | the plans of the American peace | Under Secretary of State Bolk and | the other delegates will leave Paris on the ave of December 5.

One would hardly expect any other than dry reading in the report of the Honorary Advisory Council for Sqi- entific and Industrial Research of Canada. Yet on turning to page 18 of the report, an item of more than usual'interest is found. It re- fers to fish waste, perhaps not an edifying subject, but one which has been found very profitable in other. countries, and which is allowed to 20 to waste in Canada. In part, the report: of the council says: "In Norway and in Sweden and Germany before 1914, and in the United States, fish waste was system- atically utilized and the product figured considerably as a source of ~ revenue to the fish industry, In Germany a select portion of was. made to serve as a source of food for human consumption, but the greater part of the products donsist- ed of oil and a residue é¢mployed to mix with other material, (hay, 'mil- t ling, offal, ete.) to furnish stock food. In Gloucester, Mass., and at points on the Pacific coast of the Un States are plants which con- vert the product into food for hogs. tattle and poultry. the oil derived therefrom going on the market chiefly to serve fof the manufacture of soap. "The value of the fish waste in Canada, if utilized, as it is elsewhere, would be very great. The quantity of solids in the three nundred thou- sand tons annually thrown away, and comprising chiefly fats and preteing is at least one fourth of that amount, and if subjected to appropriate treat- ment it ought, at the prices which prevail and have prevailed for the last four years, to be worth about ten millon dollars, or about one The London Spectator . complains about the apathy shown is conpec- Jon. with municipal elections over there.
