Houses 'of the Future When we get to the point where we consider the dwelling house as a ma- chine to yield us the maximum com~ fort and convenience. we shall pro- gress toward a new type of home which will be worthy of the age in which we live. Then the home will be a building designed from the inside, caretully planned to provide every Advice It never pays to stick your tongue out except at the doctor's request. A young lady did so at London, Out, and had it frozen on a steel railingâ€"St. Thomas Times-Journal. What ls Needed What is needed today is not new things. but true things. It is an old world. and a good world. There is enough of happiness and progress in the world, just for the bringing out. It means hard work, not big talk. It is one of the old truths, the new truths, the everlasting truths, that there are no short-cuts to things worth while. Those who foolishly imagine that they have some new way to change the world, or the part of the world they adorn, are simply selling themselves false thoughts by high-pressure hyp- norism. The world continues to make progress to better things, not in new ways. or by loud mouthings, but quiet- ly and surely through effort and thought and Iabor.â€"Timmins Ad- Yam-t". When is a man drunk? That is an old question and there have been all sorts of tests from walking a chalk line to pronouncing difficult sentences. A sensible sort of test .is suggested in the Virginia Legislature as follows: ‘Any peron who has drunk enough al- coholic beverages to so affect his man- ner, disposition, speech, muscular movements, general appearance or be- havior as to be apparent to observa- tion, shall be deemed to be intoxi- cated."â€"â€"-.\'iagara Falls Review.

Automobile markers are carried not only as an indication that the regis- tration fee has been paid but also as a ready means of identification. For this purpose it is essential that the figures shall be legible at all times. A car with dirty markers is in the same category as a man wearing a mask. Too frequentiy when a. car has sped away from the scene of an accident or of a crime, it has been impossible for bystanders to secure its number. If those who purposely obscure their markers are to be detected, it is neces~ sary that law-abiding motorists keep their own markers clean. And it is easier to do that than to get the car out of the average garageâ€"Toronto Telegram.

Our idea was to claim a little pub- licity for Stratford, and not without mild protest or a little struggle will we allow these other papers to take away from us whatever value there may be in the fact that Aimee came to Stratford as a bride. When error gets a start it persists. Several days ago there was an article on this page which said Aimee Semple lived in Stratford as a bride, and that the building the upstairs of which was the home of her and her husband is still here. Since then we have seen that item in the \Voodstock Sentinel~ Review and The Ottawa Journal, and in each case the heading reads, “Aimee Lived in St. Thomas,“ and the story is credited to the St. Thomas Times-Journal. A Toronto paper reproduces an 1835 picture of that plates in which traflic on the main street is represented by a pair of oxen. It is a far more placid and soothing scene than can be con- veyed by watching the present red and green corner 1ights.â€"Brantford Ex- positor. CANADA The Pendulum Swings The depression is responsible for many practical object~lessons. It has shown the defects ofg over-centraliza- tion, of too intensive development of urban, at the expense of rural, life. The cities, huge as they are, have be- come overcrowded and the natural movement is away frOm them. But the process will no doubt begin all over againâ€"the farm, the trek from the farm to the city, back to the farm again. Under present conditions the fields certainly look invitingly green to those who have found disillusion- ment betwen city walls. The divine injunction to till the soil and earn one’s living “in the sweat of one's face” still holds good. There is no other recipe for economic stability, notwithstanding all the progress of the social and industrial sciences.â€" Hamilton Spectator. “We Must Mildly Protest" Another Definition Dirty Markers In Bygone Days Hidden Riches of Cyprus It is astonishing that we should have had to wait till 1934 before there should be a. beginning of an adequate organization for maintaining and ex- ploring the as yet incalculable riches of Cyprus in ancient monuments of many periods and many civilizations. Much good work was done by exca- vators in the second half of last cen- tury, but since 1905 the Government of Cyprus has been left to encourage what research it could with“ limited funds. At last a powerful committee under Lord Mersey’s chairmanship has set itself to arouse public interest in regard to what is, surely, an 1m! perial duty to civilization. Cyprus was at the very centre of the world of which Herodotus wrote, and con- tains monuments, many of them of. great beauty, and more which will cen- stitute new sources of ancient history. â€"The Spectator.

Nova Scotia in certain respects re- calls ancient Greece. Both are penin- sulas, insignificant in area compared with the great continents from which they project; but both believe in the importance of their contribution to their country in character and in- fluence. Both have thin soil. unsuited to the more opulent forms of agricul- ture; though the little Canadian pro- vince “ould proudly claim that she is rich in resourcesâ€"fisheries, lumber, gold and coal, and apple orchards. Yet her scanty population is dwindling. And why? Because her assets are not sufficiently developed not well enough managed, to find occupation for her sons and daughters. Hence, just as in Greece, her children have gone to richer landsâ€"L. A. Ward in The Em- pire Review (London). There are, necessarily and naturally, ups and downs. Wheat is up; gold is up. But butter had been up for several years, and the good dairying seasons had helped us to weather the storm. The gold production has nearly doub- led, and. although this is an ephemeral benefit, it has been of service in giv- ing some profitable employment in time of stress. For wheat, little can be hoped for at least another season. Perhaps, where it is possible, wheat farmers will profit by their experience and not rely solely upon wheat. A de- plorable fact is that some of our con- siderable primary industries yield no net profit to the Commonwealth. On the whole, however, the outlook for the man on the land has brightened.â€" Mellmurne Australasian. The outstanding feature of British Guiana’s import trade during 1933 has been the continued interest shown in Japanese importations. Statistically, Japan is definitely the most interest- ing of the foreign countries from which British Guiana imports. Tak- ing the ipmort figures as a whole, we find that British Guiana more than maintained its reputation as being es- sentially a “Buy British" country, and out of the total value ($7,338,112) for the 90 items of imports, British coun- tries sent to British Guiana a total of $6,175,765 as follows: The United Kingdom, $4,642,098; Canada $914,754; other British possessions $618,913. This represents an increase of $241,- 772 on the previous year (1932) in Em- pire importations.â€"Georgetown Com- mercial Review.

Every frontier trading post had the same tale of plenty. Traders, predicting ,‘the depression was over, had no fears regarding the price of furs. Nor were they worried about markets. If demand lagged in Canada, the United States and Europe afforded an outlet.

It is in~ tensely interesting to think of what might have been if different indivi- duals had been born with traits of character that were entirely different from the real characteristics of their nature. Men and women are born into this world with definite talents and abil- ities that they must learn in order to take full advantage of them.

Woman Beats Off ‘Armed Raicha? During the present year Russia can sell Britain £1,700,000 worth of goods and buy only £1,000,000 worth. This ratio -must be reduced to one of 1 to 1.5 by the end of 1935, to 1.4 by the end of 1936 and to 1.2 by the end of 1937. Thereafter trade will be main. tained in a virtual balance. Russia is based. This was brought out in a pubiished text which presented a schedule show-‘ ing how a balance of payments be- tween the two nations will be equal- ized in the next five years. “Settlement is usually made by the municipalities without protest” ex- plained Director Wade, “but there is untold damage done to flocks which is not covered by restitution. Beyond the visible slaughter by dogs, flocks? are also tormented to such an extent" that it is often indirect slaughter,’ especially during lambing season when' the unborn animals are afi'ected. “An expert sheepman can usually determine to What extent a flock has been damaged by tormenting dogs and the farmer receives restitution.

But when these applica- tions for restitution are contested, it becomes the business of the province to set a settlement price, and eight such cases were reported during the year.
