The internal combus tion .engine has spoilt England, There is no romance in travel now." Thus Lady Eleanor Smith, daugh- ter of the late Lord Birkenhead, and herself a writer of no mean merit, It is true that the automo- bile has annihilated distance, but has it not also brought within the grasp of the multitude a whole world of travel from which they had for- merly been banned? Ang has it killed romance? Is there no beauty left in the English Lake District, in Deyon, in the Scottish mountains, or In the Yorkshire dales? So long as beauty remains in the world, ro. mance cannot die. And beauty will live 80 long as man does not delib- erately destroy it by trying to improve upon Nature's handiwork, It is not a matter of automobiles of any other forms of transportation, but what lies in the mind of the beholder and what he may feed upon, If the auto- mobile helps him to appreciate the beauties of the Dominion of the love- liness of Shakespeare's land, then the automobile is surely a boon and pot a curse, Lady Eleanor Smith has spoken out of turn.--Montreal Daily Star.

And this realization, which made them foresee an {irreparable disaster, has made them sympathetic to the idea of entering into a treaty on the basis of fifty-fifty.

President Roosevelt is the first Pre.ident who has been able to make the rest of the world sit up and take notice with no other influ.

It is astonishing the difference a man makes in any situation, His: tory will agree that in the present juncture at any rate, Mr. Roosevelt is some man,--Hamilton Herald, Just the Same. Says Hamilton Spectator: "That Italian mother of 18 daughters pro- bably gets so weary listening to the daily argument about whose turn it is to do the dishes that she does them herself, half the time."

Britain's Export Trade, The trade of fhe whole world has shrivelled, and we doubt if there is a single country, great or small, which can show the "moderate" ex- pansion of exports disclosed in these Board of Trade figures for March. That in itself is a matter for real encouragement, Till recently our best boast has been that we were suffering less than others, Now it is possible to flatter ourselves that our export trade is actually on the mend.--London Daily Telegraph.

It has al. ways existed from the earliest days of buying and selling, The town- criersmaking announcements at the street-corner, the hawker shouting loudly to attract attention in an east. ern bazaar--all are advertisers. The difference between ancient and mod- ern advertising corresponds to the changes in methods of production and distribution, Between the pro- ducer and the distributor today stands the advertiser, performing a function which becomes more and more important in proportion as in- dustry is conducted on a larger scale, and as potential consumers are more widely scattered.--Specta. tor (London.) 4 THE UNITED STATES. = Source of Power, At the mouth of the Severn, Eng- land, the waters rise ang fall 47 feet at the equinoxes. .

Montreal, -- Empowered to en- force the Migratory Birds Conven- tion Act the Royal Canadian Mount- ed Police have started out to patrol Canada's hunting lands in an effort to curb the unwerranted slaughter of game birds.
