But it does mean that you should sit down, as I said above, and give it a good start. With all this blood required around the stomach, you can understand why your brain will not feel very active and you'll feel like having a short nap. If you can get this short nap-of five to fifteen minutes it should be of help to you.

Since the Labor government came into power in 'England as a govern- ment by a group which did not Rave a clear majority of the members of the House of Commons, many of the old and time-honeréd customs of parliament have gone by the board. One of these is the principle that it the government was defeated on a vote in the house on any question which it supported, that government should immediately resign and ap- peal to the people. That principle has been applied time and again down through the history of the British parliament, and it came to be Scientists say there is no lite on |Tesarded as one of the fundamentals 'the moon. Perhaps. the moonshine [Of British government. killed them al. : Since the Labor group took office 5 as a minority government, however, that has been changed. On several occasions since Ramsay MacDonald became premier, the government has been forced to withdraw measures or change its policies because of defeat in the house. Yet it remains in office. A few days ago it was defeated by a vote of 315 to 175 on a motion deal- ing. with" the financial provision of the important housing bill which is under consideration. But the ques- tion of the government's resignation was never raised. Possibly that was because the two parties in opposition did not want the government to re- sign, This thought is strengthened by the fact that there was no demand for its resignation such as usually was made when a government meas- ure or motion was defeated.

Several newspaper editors in East- ern Canada, who have just returned from spending three weeks in the west with a Canadian press party, are publishing accounts of their trip, and their impressions of the west. Most of them have something to say regarding the relationship which exists between western and eastern Canada, and some of them are sur- prised to find that there is no real division between the two sections of 'the country. The people down in the eastern sections of the country have become so hardened to warnings that a split east and west was inevitable, that many of these editors went out seeking for the cause of this section- alism which they feared would soon- er or later cause a plea for secession on the part of the western provinces. They sought, but did not find. They found, of course, that the west had grievances, that there were matters of transportation rates and market- ing facilities and freight rates which were causing some concern to the 'westerners.

Un- der the present day system of gov= ernment in Britain, where if is prac- tically impossidle for any one of the three parties to secure a clear ma- jority in the House of Commons, there would be endless complications it the government's resignation were forced every time it was defeated in the house. A chaotic condition would result, and elections would follow each other so quickly that continuity of government would be impossible and the business of the country woufd become hopelessly tangled. There are some matters of governmental policy, of course, on which the government will stake its existence, and it is noticeable that on such points as these the Labor government has consistently been supported by a majority of the mem- bers of the house. On minor points, however, it is just as well that there rshould de mo resignation involved when an adverse vote is given, and the fact that these do not involve a general election leaves the members open to a much freer expression of 'opinion that would be possible under the old system.

At thern United States southern Can- ada, twilight lasts for some time; so does the afterglow on any nearby clouds that may be present. Last of all, an hour or an hour and a half after sunset there may be seen at times a band of light low in the northwest re- flected from cirrus clouds perhaps five miles high and 100 miles away. Only with this special lighting, when the rest of the.sky is nearly dark, are clouds at such a distance usually vis- ible.
