Oscar V. , Petty, says: --" For four years I had an obstinate dry eczema. "My skin peeled off, and disfiguring splotches of the eruption appeared on my face, and head." A well-known skin specialist sditl the eruption could not be cured, but friends out in Maine got me to try some Zam-Buk. To my great delight, I soon saw an improvement. The peeling skin sto within a week. At the time I started with Zam-Buk the eczema had spread all over my body, so that it took reason- able perseverance for the balm to be thoroughly effective. However I am delighted to inform you, that now, by the use of Zam-Buk, my skin has been restored to normal healthy condition." "I have a friend who also suffered from asimilar distressing skin affection. In his case too, within a few days Zam-Buk was acting splendidly. He tells me that Zam-Buk beats anything he has ever known." Zam-Buh cannot be equalled for ulcers boils, abscesses, piles, ringworm, poisone. wounds, and all sores, wounds and injuries.

It has been the fate of the shipyard workers, however, to be misrepre- sented, deliberately or usconsciously, in England, and the United States {as ferocious religious bigots, whose |chief pleasure {s to be- found ia | assaulting and murdering innocent | Roman Catholics. That this is a | gross distortion of the truth is the | contention of a writer in Black- {wood's, who wrote the widely dis- cussed series of articles on the Royal Irish Constabulary and the all but successful efforts of this body, and the Black and Tans to crush the Sinn Fein gunmen. He says that the bigotry of the Belfast workers is not religious, but patriotic. There are still loyal Roman Catholics work- ing in the Belfast shipyards. If there are any disloyal ones it is be- cause the workers have not found them out. " Belfast is largely a Protestant and Orange city, but there has always been an important Roman Catholic Population, and clashes between the Orangemen and the Catholics have occurred for many years. But it was not until the growth of the Sinn Fein movement that they became murder ously bitter. There was no discrim- Ination against the Roman Catholics in the shipyards because Lord Pirrie, chairman of Harland & Wolff, was a Home Ruler. Then the war broke out, and 10,000 shipyard workers had voluntéered and gone to the front before the Admiralty awoke to the fact that it'was of vital importance that they should stay on their regu~ lar jobs. It, therefore, forbade fur- ther recruiting from the Belfast ship- yards. But there was the shortage caused by the absence of 10,000 skilled men, added to the increasing demand for ships. It was useless to seek out the necessary labor in Eng- land or Scotland, or in Ulster, for, as all the world knows, all the avafl- able Englishmen, Scotsmen and Ul- stermen were fn khaki. But there was in Ireland a great reservoir of labor. That was in the south and west, where the young men had not volunteered. They were for the most part Sian Felners and wholly unskilled; but the need for ships was so great that the Belfast unions consented to a dilution of un- skilled labor and many thousands of the young men from the south and west went to Belfast to work on the ships and to draw twice as much money as they had ever earned be- fore. These young men knew also that if conscription should be ime posed on Ireland they would be safe, and so they hailed with joy the op- portunity of working in the yards. | At first they kept their pelitical opin- | ions to themselves, but as they {1éarned how strong they were they | began to proclaim their hostility to England. They openly cheered (Ger- man victories. On the sides of the ships they were building they chalk- ed in large letters such inscriptions as "To hell with England," and as | time went on they kept growing more openly disloyal. | When the war ended there was still a great demand for ships. Thousands of the loyal workers who had gone to France never returned. | Some who did found that their old | Jobs were in the hands of Sinn Fein- | ers. The same condition existed in | Derry, but there the Sinn Feiners were a majority in 1920, when the murder campaign was in full swing. Consclous of their strength, they de- cided on a bold plan. They rose against the Protestant workers and drove them out of the Derry yards, severely beating many of them in the fighting. This enraged the loyal ist workers in the Belfast yards, who feared that the same thing might be tried against them, although they were in a majority. At this critical moment occurred the murder of Col. Smyth, D.S.O., a Banbridge man, in the County Club, in Cork. He fell before the bullets of a gang of Sinn Felners. This murder was the straw the back of the patience of the Belfast shipyard workers. -They then informed the Roman Catholic workers in the yards that | they must either sign a pledge of | loyalty to the King and a declara- | tion that they were not in sympathy | with the Sinn Fein murder cam- | paign or quit their jobs. The "great | majority refused to sign, and were | availed trom the yards. Some loyal | Cath; did not hesitate to sig, | and they are working in the yards ' to-day. This action, according to the | writer In Blackwood's, has been mis- | represented abroad, but he Insists that the action of the Orangemen Was not prompted by religious fan- aticism, but by loyalty to the British Empire, and that anyway it was not ax until the Protestant workers a company that he was elected reeve of Tolle Island fifty-nine years. | Made by the makers of LUX al ae £0 KEMALISM iX¥ INDIA. Reaction Will Make British Problem More Difficult. However events may shape them- selves or be shaped in that black Levantine imbrogtiio, which fills the center of the stage of the day's in- terest, the repercussion in India can- not but be such as heavily to increase the burden which Great Britain bears there. If, against all hoping, actual warfare results, with the Turk facing England as his chief, if not, indeed, his sole real antagonist, then assur- edly would follow promptly a virulent growth of anti-British agitation, wherever among the 320,000,000 peoples of that great peninsula dwell any considerable number of Moham- medans. If, to take the better out- look, with no further combat, nego- tiation and diplomacy (and the wretched cross-currents of allied am- bitions) should win for the Turk any large measure of fulfillment of his demands, then British prestige suf- fers badly. And it is to be remem- bered that the East is that corner of the big world where prestige counts for so much that one may as well write it down "most" and be done with it. Looking for the moment only at the Indian facet in the now red- burning stone of international af- fairs, nothing could be more regret- table than the present Near Eastern situation. Come peace or war, it seems bound to spell yet another, if not even the worst, of those un- foreseen Incidents which have so sad- ly handicapped the carrying through of Britain's splendid but difficult experiment. in her vast Asiatic de- pendeney. There was the Amritsar affair, with its subsequent delay in any official rebuke of Gen. O'Dwyer. There was the Caliphate fRareup. There was the Moplah outbreak. That all of these happenings set back the. clock of the Dyarchy reform is be- yond question, of course; two of the three events, indeed, certainly com- bined, to bring about an unnatural union of Hindu and Mohammedan, to the immensely increased worri- ment of the powers that be. Now, with Amritsar receding in the native perspective (though still recalled bit- terly and often)--with the brothers All jailed and the Caliphate move- ment proportionately quiéscent-- with the Moplah revoit broken and the troublesome pieces swept up-- here comes the spectacular success of Kemal Pasha to scatter who knows what sparks of unrest or worse through all the dry grass of a fa- natieism hereditary to 80,000,000 Moslem Indians. . Already there have been meetings --Calcutta, Ahmedabad, and where not else~--with resolutions enthus- iastically passed not only to econ gratulate the Turkish leader, but also to protest against thé preventive moves Great Britain has taken in the Straits and at the Porte.

The cotton business is not, as some people are apt to imagine, much the same as any other commercial under- taking. There is something pecu- liarly attractive about it--something that appeals to those to whom the lure of excitement in busihess is life itself. Miss Robertson became acquaint- ed with this excitement some years ago when she first éltered the cotton business as an "outsider." The business greatly interested her. She hersel! wanted to specu- late In the various prices at which the raw cotton and the cotton still ungrown changes hands on the enor- mous Cotton Exchange Her chance ¢came when her broth- er's business began to expand and he found it more and nfore difficult to conduct it by himgelf. Margaret suggested to him that she had seen enough of the cotton broking busi- ness to know that she would like it, and that if he cared to take her into partnership she would see to it that the business did not suffer in consequence, So Miss Robertson joined her brother as partner in a business which is growing daily. But there was a fly in the ointment. The Liverpool Cotton Association, having heard of her position, decided that she could not be permitted to bécome a member, and thus barred her from standing in the Exchange and doing her own business. Not to be daunted by this, how- ever, Miss Robertson is doing an en- ormous amount of excellent work. She is by no means a "sleeping" partner. Many an alert business man has been astonished by her refresh- ing tactics. One cotton broker the other day who had been conducting some small amount of business with her said he was simply astonished at the ability she displayed. . "She nearly had me guessing more than once," he admitted with a smile. "As first I thought I was on an easy thing. [ was quite ¢onvinead that she would not quibble at the price I quoted, but didn't she! 3he saw in a minute that my price was too high, and she lost no time in letting me know it. "And I'm not so sure," he con- cluded with a wry smile, "whether I got the better of that bargain or Whether she did. I am rather in- Slined to think that I came off second t. Miss Robertson is exceptionally shy of publicity. Hundreds of newspaper men from all over the country have tried to interview her and failed. Large numbers of them have not even been able to catch a glimpse of her. For P. W., however, she did show herself, and though sheé was tongue- tied when it came to an interview, it was gathered that Miss' Robertson was passionately fond of golf, and played the royal and ancient game upon all available occasions. : The woman cotton broker, to es- cape the noise and clamor of the eity, the cries of the Cotton Exchange where hundreds of people are bidding for the world's raw cotton crop, lives out at the picturesque little villdge of Meols, in the Wirral peninsula, where she 'finds plenty of opportunities for her favorite pastime. ------------------ Measuring the Rainfall. Scattered throughout the British Isles there are nearly 6,000 places where a record is taken dally of the amount of rain that has fallen in the previous twenty-four hours. On mountain-sides and hill-tops, in cities and fowns, and op the lonely moors, raln-gauges are established, and young and old, embracing & thousand different trades and profeséions, as- sist in producing each year the com- prehensive story of Great Britain's rainfall. Coastguards at {isolated Spots on the wave-beaten coast of Coriirall and schoolmasters in towns in the North of Scotland all add their quota. The more common rain gauge now used, says a weather scientist, consists of a cylinder, let into the ground, which contains a funnel lead- ing to the receptacle in which the rain collects. The top of the eylin- der, which must be In a perfectly level position, is a foot away from the surface of the earth. The fuanel is fitted about six inches from the top of the eylinder, and this, to- gether with the specially-sloped sides, prevents loss through splashing in & heavy storm. Every morning at nine o'clock the water is poured from the Collector into .a measuring glass, sraduated in inches, and. smaller fractions down to hundredths, and the reading is-carefully recorded. | ------ British Museum Library.

This consignment of liquor is the boatload which was seized at the government wharf here last spring, the result of which was the trial of George Woodward, of Toronto, owner of the boat, om an O.T.A. charge. Woodward, and the consignors, the Canadian Industrial Alcohol Company, of Corbyville, were ac- quitted on the charges preferred un- der the O.T.A. as no case was made out against them, so the liquor seis- ed is returned to-the former owners. , Given Ten Years Each, Fort William, Ont., Nov. 30.--Ton years in the penitentiary was the sentence handed by Magistrate Palle ing to Stewart McCurley, Ottawa, and George Adams, Toroato, who pleaded guilty to holding up the Sutherland Grocery and takiag twenty dollars from the till.
