His father followed vailroading in the carly days of Ontario, and was the first trackmaster on the Ontario Simcoe Huron Union Railroad, which started from Toronto about 1845, In the year 1854 the section mas- ters and men. of that railroad pres- ented his father with a gold watch suitably inscribed as a token of their esteem. The watch, still in London, Eng, a lion and unicorn of the Arms. in years, and is not well off financial- "ly. "What better disposal could I make of the watch," he asks, "than to get the loyal railroad men and citizens of Toronto. to contribute, say 25 cents or 50 cents each, to- wards making a present of this valu- able old relic of early day railroad- "ing to the City of Toronte." Royal This railroad vetdéran is willing to sell the watch for. the value of the gold in it, and suggests that it might be placed in a museum in memory of his father, and as a velic of early railroading in Canada. The proposal is worthy of consideration for, in this fast moving age, the regords of pioneering are too often lost.--To- ronto Mail and Empire.

They Pay As They Go followed the plan of paying its ve- lief bills out of current revenue, In that way the obligation of 1936 1s dealt with.in that year, and we be: lieve that plan will yet have to be generally adopted. Fo, is reason: Relief expenditure is not something which is going to disappear. Tt has taken its place as a fixture the same | as education, public services, ete. . We believe it will diminish, but it- will not disappear. The period of idleness has brought into existence a class of people who may not be employed again; the places they used to occupy will not again be open for them, and relief will have to be continued for their sake. A munici- pality doesnot issue debentures te pay for its regular services; it col- lects from the taxpayers regularly for the purpose, and relief has ar- rived at the point where it wjll have to be dealt with in a similar way. Cities which keep on issuing de- bentures to puy relief costs have failed to recognize the permanency of velief, and by resorting repeated- ly to debeitures they have made cer- tain of trouble enough with their tax rates of the future.

THE EMPIRE Saving British Bridges +A great number of old bridges, which are among the greatest struc- tural beauties of rural and urban England, are threatened by the un- conscionable loading of modern lor- ries. An expert committee is tow engaged in research work, under- taken on their behalf. Three bridges (one in Buckinghamshire) have been finally condemned since they are past saving, and have been gonsigned to the research workers for experi- mental purposes. If it is discovered just what weight they can safely carry, their dissolution may save the {ife_of many another bridge. An ingenious method: for testing their strength has been devised and is -being practised. Instead of the more obvious method of piling weights-on the top till the breaking or cracking point is reached, weights are suspended from a chain encirel- ing the -arch, ind the effect of the increased strain is watched from a barge beneath. : ! We cannot sparc our old bridges. Such stone arches and parapels as bridge the Ouse between Hunting- done and Godmanchester -- to give one illustration--are as glorious wu. say the arches of the almost mediae- val grammar school or the adjacent mill that" was not so long--ago de- stroyed by municipal Goths.

There wis much tuberculosis and arterio-sclerosis, teeth were cleaner, but on the whole not very healthy, and pyorrhoea was common in the south, further orth teeth were more dirty but_more healthy, although they were worn away because of the peculiar habit of constantly chewing leather. Among the pure Eskimos MONTREAL, from a condition which described 'as too much suffered might be Dr. Rabinowich said that there was no sanitation among the Eski- mos, their homes were uniformly fil- thy, but among the pure Eskimos filth was compatible with good health because the organisms to virulent as the ones civilized people man" did not bring in other organ- isms, he kept healthy. The Eskimo is not a lazy person, remarked the speaker, for laZiness was incompatible with life in the Eastern Avetic and the severity of life was scen: in his food.
