/ THE WORLD AT LARGE A VOICE of the SER CANADA, THE EMPIRB + PRESS : CANADA BRITISH LEAD As a result of "a national survey of the attitude toward foreigners" in the United States, it is found that "Germany is the most unpopular na. tion with Americans, with Japan, Italy, Russia and France in close succession." British people, accord. ing to this survey, are the most popu. lar in the country to the south of Canada. And there is just another argument for the closest possible co- operation between the. English-speak. ing peoples of the world in a move. ment for world peace and security, --Halifax Herald. GOOD PUBLICITY The letter of a tourist from/Cam. - bridge, Mass, in yesterday' Tele- graph-Journal serves two rposes. The writer, meeting with ary accident at Prince of Wales, was gssisted by passing motorists, Mounted Police and residents. Acknowledgment of courteous treatment is made in the letter, with thanks expressed and praise given. Thus one purpose is served by the writer. Another is to call attention again to the value of courtesy on the road. The tourist in this case has returned home profoundly impressed by the kindly manner in which all about her at the time of the accident hurried to her assistance, rendering first aid, securing a wrecking car, offering to lend her money to pay for the addi- tional demands on her purse made by the mishap. "That is good publicity for the province. -- Saint John Telagraph- Journal. Tn NEW BELGIUM STAMP "The Be'gian postal authorities have announced that they intend to issue a special stamp in memory of Queen Astrid who was killed in a motor accident at Kuessnacht, near Lucerne, Switzerland, under most tragic circumstances. ; It is announced that it will bear the portrait of the dead Queen and will be sold at a slightly higher price than the ordinary. postage stamps of Belgium. This {is only natural but the human interest in the announcement lies in-the state- 'ment that the money raised by the extra cost of the new stamp will be devoted to a national fund for the country's battle against tuberculosis. --Victoria Times.

OTTAWA'S\TUMOR CLINIC The world wafts with hope upon who are seeking a cure for cancer. But-even in the absence of the spe. fic that is being sought in hundreds of laboratories it is fair to say that progress s being made in this deadly war. aha progress is being made in this deadly creasingly intelligent use of the wea- pons already proved effective. It is known now that many cancers can be cured if diagnosis is made at an early stage and the treatment: fol. lows promptly along the established lines of X.ray, radium, surgery in operable cases. ign . Early diagnosis is the all-importan factor, and this is being given-wctive encouragement by. such agencies as the tumor clinic of the Ottawa Civic Hospital, which has completed its first year -of existence. In that period 684 persons . presented themselves for examination and 450 of them (an average of 37 each month) were found to have cancer of a maiignant type. The result is that many of these patiénts before the disease had ad- vanced to the stage of absolute hope. lessness secure the benefit of the most advanced treatment -- and it is quite certain that in some cases cures will be effected, in all cases suffering will be relieved, by the ex- nal. PARENT TAKES ACTION " Nothing €an frighten the parent of a school child quite as much as the free and easy way in which motorists sometimes go whizzing past school houses. A parent who catches that spectacle and reflects, on the danger which it involves for the school child. ren is tempted sometimes to rise up in rebellon -- and at last a harassed parent has actually gone and done it. : In Westport, Conn., Mrs. Sheldon Wells , noted that few motorists bothered about the traffic light by the school which her children at- tended. So she has taken to spend- ing some hours on that corner each day, jotting down the license num. bers of all cars which fail to make the required stop and turning them over to the police. AS a result, some. motorists have been fined and others have receiv- ed warnings - from the state motor vehicles commissioner. If there were more parents like Mrs. Wells, fewer school children would he killed by automobiles. Her example is one which mothers in many other towns and cities might profitably copy. -- Chatham News.

Mrs, McCann expressed - belief that "book reviewers, the so-called intelligentsia and the great Ameri- can reading public, are so ignorant they don't know trash when they see ) pi HO Crowding Them In There was a truck loaded with stock going east through Stratford, and 'a number of people gathered when a short stop was made, ob- serves the Stratford Beacon-Herald. It was necessary for the driver of the truck to get up in the load and use a rope in order to get the head of one young animal up. There had been such crowding that once the head got down it could not get it up again. The truck drove off before there was time to take any action about having some of the animals taken out. As the departure was made it was noticed that the ani- mal's head which had been pulled up once more went down because there was no comfort in having the head up. It did not look as though there was an animal -in-that truck which could move if it tried so tight were they wedged in there. There is law against that sort of thing but the trouble is that a truck once under way can keep right .on going and there is small opportunity to witness the manner of the packing and eréowding and therefore no remedial action is taken. Certainly that truck which passed through this city was an example of 1 sthod ed. which should not be tolera Yesterday and To-day (Matilda, Arthur) Whoever I am, whatever my lét Wherever I happen to be Contentment and duty shall hallow the spot : : That Provigence orders for me.

Youth of Today Moral conditions in the world are serious. 3 Young people, especially, guidance on moral questions greater extent than at any time in the history of the human race. Nevér before have so many -influ- ences been at work to destroy the very--souls of men. Teachings. of many prominent persons, suggestions in sone mo- tion pictures and articles in certain types of magazines and newspapers, and in books, are giving many young people false standards of morality. The adversary is apparéntly mak- ing every possible effort to lead young people into immorality and unchastity, one of the surest means of lead'ng them into apostasy and condemnation, Young people, as a rule, are anx- jous to do what is right; but with so many influences at work to lead them astray they need counsel and advice. They need warning of the far-reaching effects and serious con- sequences of immorality. President Joseph F: Smith, in an article entitled Unchastity, the Do- minant Evil of the Age, wrote: "No more loathsome cancer disfigures the body and soul of society today. . . It skulks through the land in blasphemous defiance of the laws of God and of man. Whether openly known or partly concealed under the cloak of guilty secrecy, the re- sults are potent in evil influence." The Gospel teaches a definite standard of morality. This 'stand- ard is binding upon all members, old or young, male or female, It is the standard of personal purity and strict chastity. = ; Care is Needed + Storing Dahlias to a -- Valuable varieties of often lost as a result of diseases de- veloping in storage.

Romoving the soil adhering to the roots is not necessary, particularly if the clump has been thoroughly dried. "The root should be stored in a frost-proof place, but no where it is too warm, to prevent shrivelling. Good resulis were obtained 'when 'the roots were stored at 35 to 40 de- grees: Fahrenheit. Sphagnum moss was found to be the most satisfactory for packing the roots. This moss, when thoroughly air-dried, took care of excessive: moisture from the ro0:s, and at the same time prevented ex. cassive drying. 'Well-matured 'roots stood a higher storage temperature than immature ones. . Mature roots survived tempera ures 'ranging from 65 to 770 degrees, but tuffered consid. erably from drying. : Moisture The vigor of 'plants grown from roots stored 'at low temperatures -- 35 to 45 degrees -- was greater than those-stored -at 60 _to 70 degrees. There was less soft. and dry rot in the well.matured roots, whether Regardle:s of what the storage con- ditions are, the roots should be ex- amined from- time to time through. out the Winter. If conditions are too dry some water should be added to the moss. If there is evidence of rot, the roots shouldbe moved to a dryer place. Fancy varieties are, as a general rule, more suscepiible to rot under artificial "storage conditions, for which reason they require- more careful attention, > His Heritage ih My som, you'll soon be leaving, As youngsters often do; Your mother will be grieving, * Your dad will miss you, too.

About 'half of it may be attributed to incréased use of the highway, gasoline consumption having jumped 7.5 per cent, last A small fraction may be blamed on drinking "and drunken drivers, with more money to spend on liquor. Most of the remainder of the added fatalities can safely b charged to increased speed ,as dis- [tinguished from that convenient but overworked scapegoat, reckless driv- Jing. Highway speeds are "definitely higher than they were a few years ago" as the president of the National Safety Council explained: in his address at Louisville. People who used to be content. with 86 miles an hour are now "impatient at 45." Thanks again to better equipment and improved highway surfacing, the ordinary driver. often does not realize how fast he Is go- ing: 50 miles an hour today seems no more than 25 in the old days. Moreover, 'any current model can be driven much faster than the average driver's reflexes will permit handling with any reasonable. degree of safety."

He 'makes' no allowance for the time:it takes him to "make up his mind" to put on the brakes, three-quarters of a second on: the average--a 'signifi- cant and 'sometimes, at High speeds, a fatal interval. At 60 miles an hour, for example, the "reaction distance" i measured at 66 feet, which mus? be added to a "braking distance". of 160 feet, to calculate the total "stop- ping distance" of no less than 226 feet.
