E. Sparrow, of Toronto, retiring president of the Industrial Accident Prevention Association, to 1,376 plant executives and safety .ex- perts who assembled 'recently for their annual two-day. convention at the Royal York hotel in Toronto. Industrial safeguarding of plants and workers was the chief respon- sibility of employers, Mr. Sparrow de- clared, and every effort must be made to demonstrate to employees that "accident "prevention means actual cash to them." This, coupled with the steadily growing interest of ex- _ecutives, showed that industry in Ontario was taking advantage of the -% remarkable services rendered by the "organization for employer and em- ployee. At the. opening of the convention, "meetings were held of the ten safety associations, representing 17 dif- ferent classes of industry under com- pensation, which constitute the In- dustrial * Accident Prevention As- s ¢ A rs od _Mociations, according to R.

He told me quite' casually to take a little salts every morning, 1 tried a small dose of Kruschen Salts regularly, and the remarkable difference it made in a few weeks was almost unbelievable.

Two of the ingredients of Krus- chen Salts are notable for their work in dissolving uric acid--frequently the cause of rheumatic pains. Other ingredients of Kruschen assist Na- ture to expel the dissolved acid from the system. 4 Control of Arms Urged by Britain LONDON -- The British Govern- ment has presented a four-point proposal for uniform international regulation of the arms traffic to the Royal Arms- Commission. It embraced .a Foreign Office memorandum described as the re- sult of 14 years of experiencein in- ternational discussions, The goyernment, it was stated, considered an achievement of - great value could be obtained if the prin- cipal. arms - manufacturing countries would agree to a convention accept- ing the folowing principles: 1. Strict national control of arms manufacture, 2. Publicity for arms produced, ex- ported and imported. 8. Establishment of an interna- tional supervisory organ. 4. Responsibility of an interna- tional supervisory organ. : 4. Responsibility to that organ for the accuracy of returns on manufac- ture and trade. : The memorandum also stated the government favored conclusion of an international = agreement regarding arms manufacture and trade. The Royal Commission: has been investigating private arms manufac- ture. Balances Budgets *While" the British press is busy grumbling about the new British budget, the American press, by and large, expresses admiration for Johm Bull's budget-balancing feats and is inclined to ask how on earth he does it, ybserves the Montreal, Star. The New York Times pursues the subject far enough to show that the United Stutes takes its taxation principaliy from the corporations and the "big fellows," whereas Britain taxes the "man in the street." It produces a table of considerable interest show- ing how much income tax is paid in each country, after deductions, by a typical taxpayer, in this case a married man, whose income is wholly "earned," and who has to support two children. (Personal Income Tax) Net 'Income U.S.A. Britain. $ 1,000 ...... 0 0 2,000 ..... 0 7 5,000 .... 48 484 © 10,000 ..... 343 1,553 100,000 .... 81,702 46,336 1,000,000 ...... 678,346 632.357 It will be seen at once that the Briton in the lower and 'middle brackets pays far more than his American equivalent. It is only when the very highest brackets are reached that the American ap- proaches and, .in the case of the mil- lion-a-year man, outstrips the Briton as an income-tax milch cow. In other words, this burden is far more widely distributed in Great Britain. It should be added, of course, that 'the Federal income tax does not tell anything like the entire story in American, since various States also mulct the citizen in income taxes, and since the United States providés a plethora of nuisance taxes--such as the New York City sales tax-- much as we do in Canada. "But the general picture remains tolerably true, with the Americans "soaking the rich" more and more.

"R. Bain and Company who are under- writing the property. Boyle Brothers, of Port Arthur, who will conduct 4he drilling will take the drill into the property as soon as aeroplane trans. portation to the field is resumed. This "is expected almost immediately. Diamond drilling follows a complete land survey of the claims which had already been arranged. Gateway Patricia, 1080 acres in aren, is the property immediately ad- joining Central Patricia on the west. With definite values reported by pre- vious owners who conducted a small, exploratory drilling campaign on a few of the northern claims, additional interest attaches to the present drill- ing owing to the fact that about a month! ago it was reported in the Northern Miner that Central Pa- tricia, in an exploratory 'campaign had intersected $14 ore, 1,200 feet nearer the Gateway boundary. In addition Gateway is on the line of strike of Central Patricia's main ore bodies for a distance of one mile. In addition to the drilling campaign a completo electrical survey of the property will be undertaken. To finance development 700,000 shares of Gateway are being current- ly offered to the public. Remaining in the treasury for future develop- ment are 1,500,000 shares of half the original capital of 3,000,000 shares.

Fortunately, | Had What Car Be Acquired When Elig Spivak of Toronto was judging violin classes at the Stratford Musical Festival he listened 'to the playing of a young man from London and gave him 92 marks, which is run- ning high, comments the Peterborough Examiner. One, must indeed show a merit to go ever the 90 mark at .the Stratford festival, In making his com- ment Mr. Spivak sald in part: "The boy had that amazing quality of great. ness -- he has a quality that cannot be acquired.". Lo ; That is Interesting; a "quality that cannot be acquired." It means that no amount 'of hard work which another less gifted person might put on the work would produce the quality that this contestant from London possess- es. We believe Mr. Spivak would ag- ree with the claim that a teacher could not impart that quality to a stu- dent; the teacher might instruct in methods of technique; might perfect the style, but back of it all would be that strange thing, "a quality which cannot be acquired. That view runs at cross purposes to the claim that "genius 18 actually the capacity for hard work." According to the finding of Elie Spivak, himself a musician of rare accomplishment, two' people could devote the same energy and at- tention to the study of the violin, and one would outstrip the other because he might have that "quality .which cannot be acquired." We are inclined to believe that view 1s correct and can be substantiated by experience and example in many lines of effort. Such a contest as that at Stratford glves opportunity to bring talent to the surface; it can there be submit- ted to those who are competent to recognize it and pass judgment upon {t. To the one who has "it" in any par- ticular line of musical effort the jud- ges can state with a certain degree of assurance that there is a future for the competitor who has that quality or talent "which cannot be acquired." The development of that talent will ultimately give us great musicians in our own right. And the truth is we need them- Prairie Problems Immigration is not a welcome word in theso days of unemployment, but T believe the time is not far distant when a selective form of immigra- tion will be both desirable and pos- sible.

Some progress is being made in regaining for Canadian wheat the goodwill of millers and the wheat trado generally in Great Britain. But present and prospective prices are guch as to call for the minimum of production costs and the highest pos- sible grades, Only in this way may our wheat farmers compete success- fully in world markets. Meanwhile, Canada as a whole must seek to ob- tain, by trade agreements and other- wise, markets that have been lost in Great Britain, Continental Europe and tho Orient.
