In support of Cardinal Begin's | some time ago decided. that a cer- | should not be countenanced at a stu- | are called "moonlight dances." Ay- nounced the ban Qf his church upon the vulgar dancing measures of our edict, the Montreal branch of the Iu- dependent Order of Foresters has gohe so far as to cancdl a ball it had proposed holding this month. This Incident should have a far-reaching effect and is worthy of considera tion by other bodies. Queen's umiversity authorities tain kind of dance measure dent social function, and prohibited dancing in the half-dark, or what suredly dancing in a hall when the lights are very, very low is not very dignified at a seat of learning, but the senate has given the student body authority to regulate ts dances hereafter, and now the half-dark fox trot and waltz ara revived. Had Queen's student body published an edict that everything tending to the unsavory in dancing must be elim- inated there would be no half-dark dances and a great deal less ground for criticism of university social functions at least. Of course the evil of the dance is not confined to the ball room alone. There are the incidentals--for in- stance those nine-tenfh dark sitt- ing out places, in which shrubbery plays a part. These are not decent places for half-dressed girls to sit with young men. They appear to be countenanced by people who should know better, but police commissions -will got permit partly enclosed sec- tions in restaurants. When those in authority over our colleges--and this does not refer to-Queen's--ilet it be known that they will tolerate only decent dancing and see that there are no pitfalls for those who easily stumble ,one advance will be record- ed for a social pastime that has been degraded because of license and lack of proper supervision. The need of some supervision of Kingston's dance halls is self-eviden®. The Whig, on another page, publish- es the stringent regulations of To- ronto and Montreal regarding wo- men and girls attending dance halls, Kingston should adopt similar regu- lations. -- THE MASTER SOIENCE. By the precepts of Dr. Edward L. Thorndike, professor of psychology at Columbia University, unfortun- ates with an inferiority complex may now haunt gymnasiums, box, jump, ride, row or go through the whole gamut of physical culture 'sure to be inspired and strengthened by a new consciousness of personal sup- eriority and success--the same that some in pre-prohibition days attain- ed to temporarily by more artificial means. : . It is the theory of this psycholo- gist that exercise, amusement or any activity helps the health of the soul and body to the extent that it stimu- lates self-satisfaction, "in proportion as it makes the person feel himself to be worth while, a success, estima- ble in the opinion of those whose es- teem he craves; especially of his own." y On a higher plane, Samuel Adams touched up his .ego and wrestled with the inferiority complex which his latest biographer discovers in him, by putting his activity into poli- tics and caucuses and the revolution. But was the sluggard invited to go to the ant for the purpose of ridding him of as inferiority complex? Not 'he. Many are born lazy. Maay achieve laziness without effort. Some characters are static; some dynamie. To the former, laziness doubtless seems a gift or endowment. "Doing want to do, Their health depends on exemption from activity, Now that this seems to be a stimulant of self-love, they will be more than ever content to remain In their condition of ataraxy. ied" age there are still those who love to read late; who hear in the chimes at midnight only an invita- tion to smoke another pipeful. For they need to derive entertainment nothing, they Jo what they most th Even in this crowded and "mov-| their soul's health and their body's, ago in Scotland, he put forward the proposal capital levy scheme in such a way as to make it appear as if the Labour party would be doing a kindness to the weaithy people of Britain by taking their wealth away from them. By taking their wealth away from them, he said, the La- bour party would be making it easi- er for them to enter the kingdom of heaver. Possibly there is a direct Biblical authority for such a state- ment, for was it not said that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the king- dom of heaven? It is something new, however, for this dogma to be ap- plied in so literal a manner to the rich men of the present day, and it is not likely that they will appreci- ate the eagerness of the Labour member for their welfare in the great beyond. Mr. Smillie looks forward to the promulgation by the Labour gov- ernment of great reforms in urem- ployment, housing and child wel- fare. These things cost money, and the philosophy of the Labour man is to take the money from those who have most of it, and spend it for the benefit of those who have the least. The idea is a very altruistic one, too much so for the material world of the present day. The man with the money is not likely to submit with- out a fight to having his money tak- en away from him in an arbitrary manner. Even without a capital levy, he is paying a very large pro- portion of the taxation of the coun- try. Income taxes have reached an almost unbelievable percentage in Great Britaln, and the richer the man the larger the percentage of his wealth he is compelled to turn into the public treasury, Thus it is that many of the former wealthy men have been compelled to dispose of property and to live in a meagre fa- shion, simply because the burden of taxation upon them is so great that they cannot keep up the establish- ments they formerly maintained. The term "capital levy" is appar- ently a misleading one. Very little objection could be taken to making a taild on hoards of wealth which are not being used In a productive manner. But in most cases, the money of the wealthy men is tied up in some kind of industry. It is the working capital which keeps the wheels of industry going. There- fore, to seize this capital would mean paralyzing the fndustries of the nation, and inviting stagnation, so that, instead of helping to im- prove employment conditions, the result would be to make them worse than ever. The expression "" a levy on, capital" may sound very fine in the ears of the radical socialists, who look upon that as a method of despofling the richer people for their own benefit, but if it is to be applied Mterally then the last condi- tion of Britain will be worse than the first, and the Labour men them- selves will be the greatest sufferers. For this reason, the new government will be very wise to consider long ang deeply the probable consequenc- es of giving in to the demands of the radicals afd imposing a levy on capital. f Disintergsted Counsel. Every British government, more particularly if it derives its support from the working classes, must see the advantage of helping to stabil- ize French exchange and bringing German currency back to a healthy condition. It must benefit from any arrangement which, by deducting the interest and amortized capital needed for reparations, would con- tribute to the balance between the cost of German and British production, without further dislocation of exchanges.

You can determine whether or not your checking account is profitable to the bank, Take for example a typical ac- count in a bank in one of 'the large cities with an average daily balance of $300 for the year. Does the bank make momey on it? . It probably costs the bank $1 a month or $12 a year, minimum, in overhead charges even if the account is inactive, Perhaps 200 checks are drawn or deposited at a direct cost of 2 cents each or $4 a year, bringing the cost to $16 for the year. Approximately 15 per cent. of tha $300, or $45, will be held as a re- serve so that the bank has $255 to loan, "At 6 per cent. interest, the in- come to the bank would be $15.30 a year to offset the $16 expense. Eyidently the bank would lose at least 70 cents a year under these conditions. If it is not profitable to carry the account for some other rea- son, it is a dead loss. & | By James W. Barton, M.D, A Simple Life Saving Method. Some years agv I was taken out to the life saving motor boat on the bay, where the police officers were attempting to resuscitate a woman by means of the puimotor. "She had been in the water nearly an hour, and unfortunately we were un- able to bring her around. I' questioned the officers and found that they had used the usual methods of getting the water out of the lungs, before applying the pulmotor, ' The thing that struck me was the great advance that had been made in the last few years in res- toring the apparently drowned and suffocated. A few years ago about four people"were required to look after such a case. One would apply artificial rebpiration by moving the arms from the sides of the body up over the head; another would rub the hands and feet. Still another would take hold of the tongue by means of a handkerchiet, and move it in and out to induce breathing. A fourth would go for the phy- sician. Now but one person is needed and even without the aid of a jpulmotor, hund are restored to life by means of what is known as the Scha- fer method. . The patient is laid on his abdomen jase to one side. The operator neels across the patient facing his head, and apples his hands to the lower part of the back at the short ribs. He then presses or throws weight of his body slowly on and expelling any air. He then raises his body and relax- es the pressure allowing the chest to expand, and air to enter . the lungs. ' : He presses and relaxes about six- teen times a minute, just as in the natural act of breathing, The advantage of this method is apparent. . The water runs out naturally, and tremendous pressure can be made on the chest. And, one person can do it all. So don't wait for the pul- motor or physician but get busy at once should the need arise, whether it is a drowning or a gas victim.
