Prof. Riethdorf strongly cpentod! for unity and racial fame and pointed to several Canadians on the platform with him of Scotch, Irish, and’ German antece- dents, qincluding three returned sol- diers haif-German parentage, as represeftative of the staunch Cana- dianism of the audience. e had much praise for the re- turned soldiers, who could not be ex- pected to have any love for the Ger- man people, but who knew well enough how to distinguish between Germans in Germany and men and women of German birth who their domicile in Canada in pre-war days and were loyal and helpful dur- ing the war, and who in considerable numbers gave their dear ones to our fighting forces. The professor deplored the sad ef- fect of the ill-conceived War Times Elections Act, which made no at- tempt to discriminate between loyal and disloyal citizens of formerly alien enemy birth, and therefore dis- couraged loyalty. He cited certain clauses of the new Franchise Act to show that an at- tempt was being made to continue] juggling with a sacred citizenship, and he pleaded that all loyal citi- zens of whatever race be placed on exactly the same footing as to exer- cising the franchise and obtaining Imperial citizenship. SEVENTEEN DOLLAR COAL Price We Will Pay Next Winter Thinks Fuel Administrator. Toronto, April 2.—Seventeen-dol- lar hard coal for next winter was predicted today by H. A. Harrington, ntario fuel administrator, who add- ed the glooomy prophecy that never again would the prices of coal come down in Ontario. Indeed, still high- er prices are probable, Mr. Harring-} ton says. The prevailing price is now $14 a ton; the miners’ demands, if the railway companies declare that they must have coal dealers say they are not making any money at the present retail prices. “The fuel situation is not what one might call serious.”” Mr. Harrington said, ‘“‘but all stocks are absolutely depleted because of the abnormal win- ter through which we have just pags- ed. A strike at the mines now would make things mighty serious in On- tario next winter.” { Re-appdinted To Library Board— At the council meeting Monday night, Rev. W. H.

A “Live” Anctieaaein Palmerston Spectator—Mr. C. Vandrick was in town Saturday and conducted a most successful sale of household furniture for Mr. W. E. Andrick, who shortly leaves for Galt. While here Mr. Vandrick made a pleasant call at the Spectator office that we were slightly in error when we stafed recently that he. had: re- fused six sales in February, as he had been forced to refuse 16 auction sales, every available date being tak- en—this he verified to our entire sat- isfaction. We doubt if any other auctioneer in this part of the prov- ince can produce a better sale record. The success achieved by Mr. Van- drick is merited. He has the attract- ing powers and can always entertain the crowd and at the same time real- ize the value of the goods offered. Mr. Vandrick informed us that the season of 1919-20 had been one of the most successful in his history and who can doubt it after his February record.

This latest and loudest form of musical horror is the invention_of H. A. Gaydon, a member of the staff of the Creed Cable Company. A fort- night ago he tried it out on his sur- prised and delighted neighbors in a London suburb. The tune played was recognized more than two miles away. Complaints came showering in from the iame distance. The objectors} begged to have Gaydoi removed from the oeighborhood. So a well-known theatrical manager decided to take the machine for his vaudeville houses as a popular form of amusement. The instrument is’known as the “Stentorphone’’—after Stentor, the Greek herald, who had a voice like thunder—and as the volume of sound produced equals that of an ordin- ary orchestra, it may quite possibly effect a mild revolution in the aver- age dancing hall and movie show. Compressed air and a patent sound- ‘box are the secrets of the new invent- ion. The air is supplied by an elec- tric motor, and when it passes through a smal! valve controlled by the gramophone needle—ordinary records and needles are used—it ex- pands and creates a burst of noise: that in the case of vocal selections far surpasses the original. abo. tending the instrument the illusion of a band playing selections at about an equal distance is almost complete, but the most entertaining result is obtained when a vocal record is turned on. The artist was Sir Harry Lauder and .the song ‘‘We Parted on the Shore” —and it sounded like the monster voice of the biggest giant who ever walked in the fairy tales. It is contended, indeed, that the machine can be used as a drill ser- geant. giving the words of command before playing the marching accom- paniment, or that if necessary it can deliver the speeches of famous states- men in a way that will baffle the obstructive methods of the loudest voiced heckler, Slang To-day, Idiom To-morrow— That the slang and idioms of to- day will be correct English to-mor- row is the opinion of Professor H. Glicksman, of the English Depart- ment, University of “Our language is made up of what was once slang, idiom, colloquialism, ed that the only deplorable feature about slang was its tendency to pro- duce mental sloveliness. Professor Glicksman then referred to the word “‘mob’”’ as slang ‘of two hundred years ago and as such denounced wh The Spectator by Addison. “It is an ab- breviation of the word ‘mobile.’ Even so the word ‘pep’ is vital and virile and will survive with the word ‘snap- py.’ But to gain recognition slang must be free from vulgarity and cheapness,” said Professor Glicksman. “Thames Is Han When Lady Astor became a mem- ber of the British Parliament, she discovered that the House of Com- mons kitchen committee had between $25,000 and $50,000 worth of wine and whisky stowed away in the House wine cellar, and she launched a cam- paign to make the House dry. She has frightened them some, for the Valentia vat which held 400 gallons of old Scotch has disappeared, its contents having been put in smaller and handier packages. ‘“‘The Thames is handy,” remarked Lady Astor when asked what she would do with the ceHar’s contents.
