With September 1st only a few days ahead, the coal operators amd miners have broken off negotiations and the prospects ane that another cod strike will start at the begin- ning of next month. It had been | hoped that the two parties in the {dispute would be able to reach an agreement, arg thus avoid a cessa- tion of work in the mines; but, in apite of the fact both the operators and the miners declared that they did not want a strike, this has not yet been possible. 'It fs not likely that the strike, if it does comes, will be of lengthy duration, and it is sincerely hoped that this will be the case. - There is now in existence fn the United States machinery to deal with the situation, and if #t can be Put into operation successfully the G | strike will not last very long. It is a serious matter, however, that a coal strike should be brought on at the present time. The condi- tions created by the lengthy strike of last year are still fresh in the minds of the public. Sufficient Hime has not yet elapsed since that strike to permit the shortage thus created being made up, or a reserve supply of coal built up. It is estimated that there is at present a Supply on hand 0 sufficient to last for four months, Just about enough to meet the needs of the consumers uniil the latter part of this year. M i mot stated whether the needs of Cunada are be- ing given comsideration in making this estimate, for, if not, the period for which coal will be available will be greatly reduced. Canada's position, however, is one which will give rise to graye coucern in the event of a lengthy strike, as this country will be the first to sutfer when the coal supply nears exhaus- tion, Circumstances are again foreing to the forefront the urgekl necessity of making Canada's coal deposits in Alberta available for consumption in Ontario at a reasonable price. Kx- periments conducted in various cen- tres last winter proved that Alberta coal is highly satisfactory for domes- tic purposes in this province, and that it can be used in the Lypus of furnace which are commom here. It has also been proven that, given a reasonably low freight rate, Alberta coal can be sold in Ontario at a price which will compare very favor- ably. with the cost of Pennsylvania coal. Within the past few weeks carloads of coal have been receiied from Alberta in several Ontario cities and towns, and it has been sold at $13 and $14 a ton. At thus price it is worthy of consideration and is profitable buying, but unfortunate- ly the special freight rate granted by Sir Henry Thornton applies only to the summer months, Unless aa ex- available at a time when most need- ed. ' Such extension should be grant- lower rate per ton for transporia- tion should be allowed. A long strike will bring a condition cailing for emergency measures, and it may be that from the 'emergency will come some peymanent solution of the problem of Outario's coal supply, and a solution which will at the same time bring about the full development of Canada's coal re- sources. - THE IRISH BELLOTION, Very few elections have been fraught with such importance as that which™is now being waged for the election of members to the Dail Eireann, the Irish Free Stale par- llament. There is one great issue "before the electors, an issue in which the quesction of peace or war f(s involved. The one great issue ig whethér or mot the Irish Free State the baby Dominion of the Empire, shall continue its progress towards Peace and prosperity, or whether the Republican party will once more be given sufficient power to stir up strife' and let the dogs of civil war loose in the troubled island. | certainty of their position is greatly Intensified by the large number of tension is granted, it Will not be |] ed, and, in case of a arisis, an even |° THE DAILY. BRITISH WHIG Words are used as election weapons, this would scarcely be calied a calm campaign. In comparison with the elections of the past few years, dur- ing which the casualities ran into the hundreds, the present fight must however, seem very tame to the Ir- ishmen who take their politics so seriously that human Mves count for little so Jong as they accomplish their ends. But this is an indication that Ireland is returning to a com- mendable state of sanity and quiet- ness, and, if the government is sus- tained at the polls, it may be that it "will soon be possible to hold an election in that country without the necessity of using guns and revol- vers as campaign weapons. If the government is returned to power with a working majority, then the worst of Ireland's troubles will be over, and it will be possible to look for rapid progress towards real peace and prosperity. ' PUTTING LIFE INTO MOVIES. The announcement has been made "0 often that a process has been dis- covered to give the impression of depth to motion pictures, and so of- ten the public has heard nothing more concerning the reported dis- covery that there is excuse for re- garding further announcements of the sort with skeptism. Still there is a ring of sincerity about the des- patch from Chicago dealing with the latest development in this field that dispels doubt. The enthusiasm of the correspondent who writes of the new pictures is infectious. Apparent. ly the goal so long sought by the motion picture producers has been attained. Movies presenting the appearance of three dimensions are now a reali- ty, we are assured. One gets the same feeling when looking at pic- tures produced with this process as when looking at double photographs through an old--fashioned stereo- scope. The figures stand out. There is a sensation of atmosphere. "A picture of Lake Michigan," it is stated, "gave the impression to spectators that they were sitting on the shore When one figure passed in front of another the im- pression of distance between was clear . .: . When a tree was shown members of the audience gained the impression that they could wallk around it. ' There have been three improve- ments for which the picture pro- ducers have been striving --depth, color and talk. Opinions will differ as to which is the most important, but the majority of the movie pat- rons probably will place depth first. If the feeling of flatness is removed from the pictures a great stride for- ward has been made. PRESS COMMENT The Awakening of China. If China were a real republic the sovereign power would reside in the overwhelming mass of the people who are crying for peace and relief from the bupden of the military in- cubus. It will take many decades, we fear, before this great silent force is educated up to such a recognition of the power residing in it that it wiil be impelled to action. Not un- til that time comes can we hope to see any considerable improvement in political conditions in China.--- Hong Kong Press. -- Day of Egypt's Release. This is the day of Egypt's release.

You see my point? If in order to secure support a' the waist you wear a corset that is' tight about the chest, your lungs-- heart--and liver--very vital organs --are greally compressed and they perform only a part of their work. You get out of breath easily be- cause the heart and lungs are not permitted to expand fully. You likewise become constipated because the liver does mot permit an easy passage of bile into intestine. Now as you are going to wear corsets anyway what Is my ques tion? That you get a corset that fits you snugly about the hip bones, be- low, and loosely about the upper or chest part. By lacing it from below you can get the pressure om the lower part of the abdomen. In getting fitted for a corset al- | ways stand erect and take in a long | breath. This makes the waist smal- ler and enlarges the chest, and you- ll get a corset that will have the proper action, that is support your abdomen and yet give your Mver--- lungs--and heart a chance to work properly. i Perhaps, you are a man and need some abdominal support. The same advice applies, have your belt very snug about the hip bones, and draw in a long breath when applying the belt. °° While the style of corset at pre- sent in vogue is fortunately not as high as formerly, still the "loose fit at'the top ds still necessary.

Yamato damashi will explain tho courtesy in Japanese school life, the comfort such manmers on the part of the children afford the teacher and the honour that attaches to the teacher's possession. I taught five years among the Japamese and never saw a meagre face. I ncver saw a teacher worn or mervous, nor verging on hysterics as I have seen them om this continent, where there seems so ittle relaxation and so little deference. There is unity as to yamato dama- shi. school children feel the thrill of purpose as they study. They are working for their country's glory. Their teacher je"their leader. They take their lessons home where they discuss them with their parents who in turn are "geiting the idea." Parents and teachers and children thus come together.
