The mayor's gold chain of office, | which is viewed with awe by visitors | to Kingston, dates back to the year | 1838 when the city's first mayor was [Thomas Kirkpatrick, The practice | 2s begun of forming a chain with | I of solid gold, on which were engraved the names of the mayor and | the year of his holding office. Allow- | ing for mayors holding office more links which make up the historic chain show that only thirty-six mayors' mames are inscribed, Ex- Mayors Hughes and Newman are the last chief magistrates to add gold pleces to the chain, the latter having inscribed upon his piece that 1919 was the year of the Prince of Wales' | visit to Kingston. It is a pity that | the other mayors of Kingston failed to perform their duty ih regard to the chain of office, and if those ex- chief magistrates who are alive or the relatives of those who have pass- ed on cannot be induced to contri- bute their link to the chain, the city council should see that four or five names and years of office of those among the missing. MEGIDDO AND BREAD. We do mot share the views of our esteemed contemporary in the mai- ter of the gift by a certain Mr. Rockefeller of! $60,000 for excava- tions on the plain of Esdraelon. We do not share its hysteria whon it calls for a choice between brown Stones fro.a an ancient city or nut crust bread from a Kingston bakery; first, because the lives of valuable citizens im Kingston are not in dan- ger of starvation, and, second, be- cause that very argument would have kept Kingston from having eitlier the Richardson stadium or the Harty rink. "It will not do to say that these public buildings provided work. So, for that matter, will the ex- cavations of Megiddo among human beings who are much nearer starva- tion than any fn Canada. The fact is, the stadium and the rink are a Protest against our contemporary 's conclusion that in the meantime at least men live by bread alone. We hold no brief for Mr. Rocke- feller or any of his tribe, but we think that the soap box orator who makes capital out of this will likely seo dn last Saturday's gate receipts at Queen's stadium an equally potent reason for sympathy for the poor and an attack upon the rich. Besides,, wo suspect that $60,000 from Rocke- feller represents less from him than a shilling would from a city news- paper; and we think we could find somewhere almost that amount in the interests of scientific wesearcn and still have a generous offering tor the poor. It is regrottable io see that our usually well-balanced and progres- sive neighbor has become hysterical ily reactiomsry. It ¢hifiks that thie is mot the time for historic grave digging, which, we take it, is its way of saying that this is not the time to spend money. on increasing _ the world's storehouse of knowledge, The same argument would canoes overy research scholarship in the uni- versities of the world. It our contemporary had begun a campaign to enquire how Rockefell- er came to have $60,000 of resdy money to igive away, if it had de- manded that Rockefeller should Bivey $600,000 for relief work as well as $60,000 for research, if it had even commented on the abnormal fact that Toranto the good has seventy-five men whose annual income is in ex- ess of $50,000 and had made a per- Amptory demand that these should help, not alone by the income taxes which they cannot escape but by a generosity which they are Hkely to evade, we shoald be spending our valuable ttme in congratulating the paper. But we cannot feel that any money is wasted which is spent én the interests of pure science and increase of the world's storehouse of kmowl- edge. We are with it for the fullest measure of employment.

First don't do it unless you desire to give up all the comforts in this life and are willing to be fashionably mis- erable. But if. you really are deter- mined to chum with folks who have more money than sense, buckle to it and learn to act as silly ag they do. In that way you soon can become as miserable, mentally and physically, as the most accomplished etiquetter in the country. Don't tuck your napkin ints your neck. It is polite to let the drippings fall onto your shirt front and pay no attention to them. Don't stick your knife into your mouth.
