This brings up again the oft-re- Deated agitation for a law requiring vehicles of all kinds to carry lights. ne 1.50] Wise drivers of such vehicles will 6 year, to United States seeve $1.50 | carry lights because of their regard for their own safety; but it should be for there is just | @8 much danger in an unlighted buggy as there is In an automobile | travelling without lights, The re- the best job| Currence of accidents may in time ada. bring such an outcry as to force the necessary legislation, This same subject brings up the point of the enforcement of the law | regarding anti<glare headlights, Al- though it wag generally understfod | that every car had to be equipped | with some kind of anti-glare head- lights before a license would be issu- ed, there are hundreds of cars oper- It one ta makes a gun, another | #40 in Ontario to-day with the old 8t¥le of glaring headlights, which are a source of danger to everyone on the In a trip at' night on a much travelled road dozens of cars with this kind of headlight will be seen. no at- tempt at the enforcement of this ordinance.

They were | not making any attempt to extend (the same measure of credits to the country adjoining them, and as a result their trade has suffered to /such an extent that they are worry- [ing about it, {= There is much satisfaction in this | for Canadians, who, while they have | realized that their own exports to | the United States had decreased to a | large extent, were not aware that the i United States were sending less | goods' to Canada than before. It | would seem as if the steady cam- | paign, urging our people to buy { made-in-Canada goods, has been | bearing fruit. The decline in buying | of all kinds may be responsible for | some of the decrease, but it ig satis- | factory to note that | northward is going down at a much | greater rate than the flow of goods { southward, Canada, according to the | figures published, has an almost | three-to-one advantage in the stand- ing as compared with a year ago, and this 1s what the merchants, manufac- | turers and business men have been crying out for during the past three | years, Now that there is a realization in the United States that the trade and | exchange policy of that country has | been more damaging to themselves | than to Canada, it is reasonable to | 8xpect a rapid change in that policy. | The New York Herald, in the editor- | al mentioned above, asserts that the | greatest mistake of all was the estab- (lishment of trade barriers, '"particu- | larly exasperating and irksome when strung along our northern border, | trying to shut out imports from Can- | ada, while wanting to continue ex- | ports to Canada." The United | States tariff system, it is also point- ed out, "allows a paper wage or de- based currency country like Japan or Germany or Czecho-Slovakia to ship its goods into the United States with negligible duty payments, but | enficts the limit from a solvent, dear | labor country like Canada."

No permanently whole- some life, either in the community or for the nation, can be built on a sub- stantial basis unless home life and home training play a great part in this process. The situation is not to be taken lightly. Nor will it remedy itself In the course of time, if as one educator maintaines, we are going in a direction away from it, The obvious' conclusion is that if we cherish ideals that make for de- sirable manhood and womanhood and for & more efficient citizenship, Wwe can not afford to lose sight of the fact that these ideals are best main- tained in the home, Other instigu- tions may help in this process; but they can only help; they cannot sup- plant the home. It may be that tne writing of many books on this sub- ject and the delivering of many lec tures will help us to realize this; and to that end they serve a good purpose. But the real remedy to the waning influence of the home lies in a thorough recognition of what we are losing when home and family lite bécomie less Important with us, and in a resolute determination to pre- vent this at all cost, ----------i. THE UNITED STATES SEES ITS MISSTAKE, The trade kings of the Unitad States are at last waking up to tha fact that\n trying to restric: imports from Canada by the raising of high tariff walls, and In forcing the value of the Canadian dollar away below par, they have dealt their own bus. ness a body blow, and, as was to be expdcted, they are raising a lovg pros test. The New York Harald, in an editorial, deplciés, the fact that the United States' exports to Canada are declining far more rapidly than are the exports of Canada to the United States. So long as United States business houses could dispose of their goods in Canada, and could, at the same time, cut off Canadian ex- ports into their own country, every- thing was lovely, and there was no protest. But now. the boot is on the other foot, and there is a different story to tell. Actual trade figures show that for v fat of their own making, Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER Engages THE MOON. The learned Professor Pickering finds life upon the moon; there men, perhaps, are dickering, and chasing the doubloon. We've always thought it tenantless, and cold and gray and dead, without baseball, and penan'- less; with none to paint it red. But now Professor Pickering sees lite signs everywhere, and maybe meu are liquoring in soft drink joints up there; and maybe skates political as gifted statesmen pose, and kickers, dourly critical denounce the movie shows. We've viewed the moon through telescopes, its craters and its vales; through fakers, in their yellow scopes, framed up some dizzy tales, of living beings dwelling there, we though their tales were bunk; no orators were yelling there, no statesmen peddled bunk. We gave no time to bickering, our platform was sto strong; but now Professor Pickering has shown us wheré we're wrong. He's found a lot of greenery, strange plants that grow and thrive; amid that ghastly scenery some cow feed is alive; and--is it merely van- ity ?--if such things appear, there's sure to be humanity on hand, to profiteer. The learned Professor Pickering to our beliefs says, "Scat!" So play him on your Chickering and paste him in your hat. --WALT MASON. -- ULSTER'S SUGGESTION, Proposes Two Dominion Parliaments in Ireland, London," Nov, 15.-- It is under- stood that the Ulster Cabinet's coun- ter-suggestion for an Irish settlement was the setting up of two dominios parliaments, one in Ulster and one in the South. Also tha: all extra transferred powers go.ng with the promised dominion status in respect of customs excise, inccme tax, otc. should be exercised by the Ulster parliament for hersel', just as would be the case with the Southern par- ilement. It will seers that in this case ahy powers to be exercised by a linking council betwean two such dominion parllaments--if this body set up by the present act were re- tained--would be rather shadowy. England manufactures little of its own ice. The greater pari of her supply comes from Norway in spe. cial fast wooden ships, Xm THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY PERFECT PEACE: -- | thee: Isaiah 26:3; i BY SAM HILL Spann * Nothing Doing.
