Mr. Fraser gave his fellow-citizens an eye-opener as he pictured their economic losses. There were condi- tions which were beyond their con- trol but agriculture to his nfind was sadly neglected. The remedy was in their own Yands. Everyone working mare or less on the land would bring zbout very desirable results. nn am i so-- HOW DID MAN REACH AMERICA? The Smithsonian Institute at Washington is to send an expedi- tion to Alaska to seek to find out how man reached America. Dr. A. Hrdlicka, the famous anthropolo- gist, says the origin of man in Am- erica is in dispute. The mass of sound evidence points to his having crossed over from Asia via Siberia, the Diomede Islands and Seward Island and Seward Peninsula, and then to have slowly worked his way gouthward down the coast to Yukon. This man mist have left some traces of bis passage in the way of pottery fragments, stone implements and bones. The narrowest plain in Behring Strait which separates Alaska from Siberia is fifty miles across, cut about midway by the Diomede Is- lands. The natives of both contin- ents trade back and forth to the present day and have done so for ages past. For eight months in the year the passage can be made over the ice and for the rest it is manage- able in native boats. Tt is, there- fore, logical that this should have been the route by which man first came to the American continent. The Eskimo is doubtless a comparatively recent arrival. Dr. Hrdlicka does not believe that any single invasion of America of great magnitude by primitive man took place. He is of the opinion that small greups dribbled across the ice fields through periods of per- I | 'haps thousands of years. THE GOOD OLD CRICKET. Cricket never had such a hold on the British public as to-day. ' Not even the British strike has lessened the interest in the visit of the Aus- tralians, who are touring the Old Country. Just why the hold of cricket on the Englishman it is hard to under- stand. Compared with baseball it is slow and sedate. How people can take the time to follow a game or keep up their enthusiasm dver a match that will last several days is dificult to fathom. The Christian | Selence Monitor-tries to fathom the secret and remarks: "Perhaps the secret is that by reason = its Jaisdrelinem it is the game r excellence in which the dividual must sink himself for the sake of the side. Cricket ceases to growth of that modern standard of sportsmanship, which is rapidly con- quering the world and is one of the gréat unifying factors in a time when the divisions of race and na- tionality seem to be exceptionally strong, that the phrase, 'It's not cricket," has come in many parts to be used as synonymous with 'it's not fair." In these days, when professional- {sm Is in danger of spoiling all sport, and when promoters are taking ad- vantage of the growing Interest in athletics to capitalize almost every | sport, it. is refreshing to know, re- '| marks the London Free Press, that there is one game which is played tor the game's sake, and = which Sas Seeminantly for the best bE 5% 5 i.

Make the daily paper a part of your nightly reading. "Would a good shower just mow be worth a dollar a drop?" Marshal Pilsudski seems 0 have washed out the Government ol Poland. a-- The newspaper is the loudspeaker 'for the community ahd it costs but a trifling sum a year to tune in. We may do wrong and injustice by dealing out certificates of character to those whom we know are un- worthy. The "good fellow," so styled, may have anything but 2a good com- mercial rating and reputation for prompt paying. Victoria Day, 1926, finds the em- pire larger and stronger and not Jess influential 'than the good old Queen left it, comments the Hamil- ton Herald. Soon it will be a case of "detour and the world detours with you." And by the time new stretches of highway are open, older ones will be closed for repairs. The women in Switzerland are campaigning for general franchise rights. They are permitted to vote only in certain municipalities on questions touching religion and edu- cation. et An attendant'at | the Sydenham Street United Church, who has been regular at the Conference gatherings at night, says there is one thing that does mot seem' natural, from a Methodistic standpoint, there are no collections taken up. This may be the Scotch in the new body. A bill that ought to commend itself to the good judgment of the people of Canada was introduced in the senate by Senator Belcourt. The object of the bill is to control the use of dangerous firearms by pro- hibiting the importation, manu- facture and sale of revolvers and similar weapons except under gov- ernmental authorization and super- vision. Commissioner Harnett, Water- town, N.Y., believes that glaring headlights cause more accidents than anything else, with the possible exception of intoxicated drivers. The {nspectors are trying to bring about elimination of dangerous lights. Like suy law the headlight law is an inconvenience. So is the opera- tors' license law. But both are good for safety. Puppy-<love marriages usually turn out disastrously; calculating. mars miages usually turn out pretty well, pays Dr. H. A. Reya, Detroit.
