PROHIBITION OF SMOKING FOR | WOMEN. While the right of women to smoke is generally recognized, and while | the Canadian Pacific Railway is pre- paring to afford facilities by which | ladies may enjoy their favorite brand fof clghratte while travelling, it is interesting to note that a definite | movement has started in the United | States to make it a criminal offense for women to smoke, just as it is a |eriminal offense to drink in public. This is no movement which is yet in | the visionary stage. It has taken on Attached Is one of the best Job | concrete and practical form, for Re- printing offices in Canada.

What has become of the poor mouth Germany made before the re- paration settlements became an ac- tual fact? Then the country would £9 to the bow-wows if the Allies' made her settle on the' Basis of the indem- | nity levied. from the old empire along that line. Everything one sees these days is about how Germany is preparing to regain her lost trade, the extent to which her manufacturing establish- ments are being developed and the immense earnings some of her in- dustrial concerns report. Writing in the current number of & national magazine, F. C. Chappell, how some of -Germany's industries are growing. He says Germany is largely controlled by a dozen<com- ploying 250,000 nen in the coal busi- mess. It has a capital of 1,208,000,- 000 marks, and Others almost as formidable, Before the war Germany exported 850,000 tons of pig iron; she is now importer. The war cost her 40 per cent. of her iron ore; but the gap is being rapid- ly filled up. The Krupp Company, with its capi- tal of 500,000,000 marks, has for | two.years been very busy putting its | house in order and in turning a loss of 36,000,000 marks in 1918-19 into | & profit of 79,600,000 marks in 197 9- 20. The transformation of Krupp's is said to be the most remarkable feat in Germany's industrial history. In less than two years this vast arsenal-city has been turned into a highly successful concern for making | machines of peace, Its permanent Staff at Essen and its other works numbers 50,000; the factory covers over 500 acres, and it makes all sorts of things.

The Canadian Pacific Railway has . Announced that in future sleeping + Cars on their trains will have smok- Ing rooms for women in the same , Way as they are now provided for men. As might have been 'expected; ~, this announcement has met with a great deal of censure fyom the offie- fels of the W.C.T.U., who see in it - womething which they characterize as an insult to women. Of course, if this organization can speak with authority for the majority of the women of this dominion, then some notice may be taken of their protest, but once having made the announco- ment, it isn't at all likely that the 5 C.P.R. will change the order and back down on thelr proposal. An these days when women are gelaiming and securing equal rights 'snd privileges with men, it may well be sald that this Innovation is simply A keeping with modern movements. It'has become an accepted custom in most places for women to smoke #penly, and the sight of women in- ' dulging In a quiet puff of a fragrant ~ elgarette has long since ceased to cause any comment, . Why, 'then, should those women who desire to do 50 be debarned from smoking in order to break the monotony of+& long train journey? There has been RO pretest against the men being granted that privilege. Why should _ hot the women, in accordance with © their demands for equal rights, be : ? of | But now little is heard | there are a dozen | legislation of any kind will receive a | presentative Johnson has introduced {a bill into the United States Con gress prohibiting women from smok- ling. { The representative deserves to be | commended for his courage. There are not many men in his position who | would introduce such a bill, in view | of the fact that it is but a year since the women of the United States were | given full powers in that country. [It is not that women generally ap- prove of the habit of smoking. We | cannot believe that smoking is in- | dulged in except by a small minority {of the women of either this country i or the United States. 'But it is more than probable that the women, with | their newly gained equality of rights, | will strongly resent any attempt on | the part of a mere man to rob them | of any particle of that equality. If la woman were to introduce the bill, | it would probably be al] right, but for a man to attempt to cut down | the rights and privileges o. the now | ageous proceeding. The bill, of course, has very little law, al- | though it wil] create a keen contro- bines, the *'Stinnes Trust" alone em- | 5 i | chance of ever becoming | versy. The very name of prohibition has fallen into disfavor in the Unit- {ed States, and further restrictive very cold reception. In this case, it is recognized that smoking amongst women js on the increase, not only in America, but in Europe and Great | Britain, Women are finding the | same enjoyment in a quiet puff as men have always done, and to pass laws. making it prohibitive would habit. contrariness, the women might turn to smoking ju r the pleasure of doing somethi which the law pro- hibits. If there is ever to be an end to smoking by women, it will be brought about, not by legislation, but by a realization of the general senti- | ment which prevails against it, and by an awakening amongst thé women to the fact that the opinion of most men is against it, and that it does { not add to the charm or the dignity | of womanhood. -------------- ARE YOUNG PEOPLE SAFE? Rev. Dr. J. F. Smith, pastor of the { Presbyterian Church, Blenheim, in | preaching to a joint Presbyterian.and Methodist congregation, put the qlies- tion "Are Youth Safe¥' He gave the answer to this question in the negative! and remarked that the young people of today are not safe, that they are net walking "in the way of truth, because they are form- ing bad habits, because of the com- pany they are keeping, and because of the way they are spending their time. By speaking on these three heads, the minister tried to show tnat the young people of today are in grave danger, and that they are for- saking the ways of truth and right- eotisness. There has, for some time past, been a strong tendency on the part of ministers of most denominations to speak strongly against the things which they consider to be harmful to the life of the young people of today. This is very commendable. It is one of the duties of a minister of'the gospel to point out to his flock the temptations which are likely to beset them, and to warn them to take heed lest they fall, In this no one there is likely to be considerable re- tion that the young people of today are on the dewnward path, that they are so beset with evil that they are in grave danger. The agencies of evil are held up to the light as if they were the most potent forces in the world, and this has been dona so repeatedly, and with so much repeti- tion, that some of the clergy are find- - --_ ticket | efore fair- 1 {In which it is being made, that of a | | emancipated 'sex seems like a cour- its London correspondent, points out | pa > doubtless have the effect of adding to the pleasure of indulging in the It cannot very well be stopped by law, since with their usual dear will find any fault with them. But sentment at the oft-repeated asser- "ing harm where none exists, and, | » | what is more important, are forget- ting that, while the sources of sin may have increased during the. past ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR |! BY SAM HILL generation, the agencies of good have also multiplied to an greater extent, especially amongst the young people, even good influences which are 1 over the youthful minds by the in- stitutions which exist for their mora, physical and spiritua] betterment During the past decade these institu- | tions have become a potent factor in the life of the young people of our country. Take, for instance, the Y.M.C.A., with al] its varied activi- ties . of interest boys, and the Y.W.C.A., which performs a like ser- { Vice for the girls." These institutions 10 have grown in influence and power, | and today stand in the forefront of the agencies for good in Canada. The | moral and physical training which | anything which existed ten years ago | as the electric light is ahead' of the [tallow candle. The various classes lot training for boys, the Four- | Squares, the Tus Boys, the Trail | Rangers, and other organizations, are | new w¥eoturesfi and they are wielding |a tremendous influence off the lives | of the young men who are growing {up in our midst | with healthy and beneficial recrea- | tion at the receptive age, and their | influence is such as to offset much of | the degrading effects of any of the | agencies of evil of which dur minis- ters are so apt to speak. The Canad- | ian-Giris-in-Training Clubs, now he- | ing formed throughout the whole | Dominion, are performing a like ser- | vice for the girls, and, hand-in-hand, these organizations are working for the betterment of youth, and towards the remova] of the danger of which the Blenheim minister speaks, It. seems apparent that it would things which create danger, would of these organizations. which pulpit, help to make them stronger than they are. even Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER Spun THE LAW. Seme recent Taws don't suit me, | quite, they seem to me too drastic; the statute that would hit me right should be a bit elastic. But while I criticise the laws, and eloquently flay them, and daily ply protesting jaws, I none the less obey them. 1 used to drink Hostetter's Balm of Ginseng and Cucumbers; it made my fevered slumbers. And often now I'd have a bowl of that inspiring tonic, when life has jarred my weary soul with troubles that seem, chron- fe. But I must violate a law, if I would quaff a flagon; and so the line I sternly draw, and ride the water wagon. From half a mile of garden hose I drink the limpid fluid, then sink me down to my repose, ma- jestic .as a Druid. my vitals, and often to the gods I've cried, by all their storied titles, and asked them why I am condemned by water mains to languish; alas, they only howed and hemmed, and chortled at my anguish. The law is written in thé books, and 1 shall not defy it, and I'll consume the babbling brooks, nor raise unseemly riot. If we defy the laws we make through statesmen by us - chosen, our government's an empty fake, and Order's feet are frozen. | --WALT MASON. Driik More Milk on Farm. (Farmers' Sun, Toronto) Farmers should set a good example | to city people in the matter of milk consumption. As a class farmers deo not use enough milk, butter and cheese--the best foods in the world. Sdme time ago a survey was maids in connection with the rural schools of Wisconsin in order to learn just how many children drank milk. Qut of 1,613 children questioned it was found that 680 drank tea and coffee regularly, averaging a cup and a hal? a day, 268 drank no milk at all, 365 drank milk occasionally, while only 980 drank milk regularly, and thay averaged about two cups each per day. There were 241 who used no butter at all. Conditions in rural Ontario may not be as bad as in rural Wisconsin, but the fact remains that our farm children drink too little milk. There ¢ dren, or for adults either, and with milk as cheap as it is, children should and cheese and ice cream also pos- sess the highest possible food value. "Drink more milk," is a good slo- gan for the rural people to adopt. a ------ How It Worked Out. Mrs. Brown was tired of the bow | rowing propensities of her neighbor, Mrs. Smith. First it was some house hold utensil she wanted, then some small article of grocery. The other day a knock came to Mrs. Brown's door. Tt was Mrs. Smith's little gir]. "Please mother wants to know," she said, "if you will lend her some pepper and the big flat iron?" Mrs, Brown was determined to stop her neighbor's borrowing. "Tell your mother I've got other fish to fry," she snapped, and the little girl went away. It was not long before she came back.
