The ignorance of Canada among the mass of the people here a few years ago was appalling .It will be recalled that when the ‘first Canad- fan troops landed at Liverpool on the outbreak of the war, wonder was expressed by the by-standers that the Canadians were “white.” The story is also told that a number of Can- adian officers being engaged in re- volver practice with some English officers, and chancing to make a bet- ter score, one of the Englishmen re- marked in all seriousness, that the Canadians had an advantage, “as they were used to carrying revolvert all the time out in Canada.” A \Changed Conception Now, however, the idea of Canada as a wild colony of cowboys and Indians has been dissipated. Some time ago, before the Canadian forces had left England, I was present at some Empire Day celebrations at a school not far from Bushy Park. where was situated the King’s Con- valescent Hospital.

C., Nov. 23.—British Columbia, between now and next spring, is faced with an unemploy- ment problem that may exceed in its seriousness the conditions of early 1914, when mobs of famishing ‘men were fed from soup kitcheng in Van- couver, New Westminister &nd Vic- toria, The present trouble is caused not only ‘by the closing down of the log- ging camps and lumber mills, and general depression along the coast, but chiefly by the tremendous influx from the prairies of war veterans] who are being driven to seek the mild climate of the coast by the open- ing of the rigiroug winter of the mid-West. Many of these war vet- erans are men who have been in- capacitated and cannot stand the ex- treme cold weather of the prairies. Hundreds of ,jthem are flocking over the mountaifis bearing certificates from medical men who have ordered them to a warmer climate for the winter. ! The Rush to ‘the Coast ! The flood to the West started when | the wheat farmers began to let out| their' Harvesting gangs. Then men dred, dollars in their pockets, trust- ing to get any ‘kind of a job to tide them éver the winter. Unfortunately for them,.just -as they started the lumber industry, which was being maintained at a maxtmum pitch by high ‘prices of building material and an insatiable demand, collapsed. Dur- ing the past month in British Colum- bia practically alll the small me have closed down. The large mil which manufacture for the export trade and have foreign connections, were put on a forty-eight hour week ‘and discharging between 30 and 40 per cent of their staffs. With the mills closing down thousands of log- gers in the woods were thrown out of work automatically., Other industries on the coast have not been able to absonb men thrown out of work by the lumber collapse, as most of these started on a re- duced output at the same time and were themselves oe to unem- ployment. The Army - Jobless Employers in the small towns in the interior of British Columbia along the railway lines have been besieged} by,men from the prairies who drop off the trainssand ask for any kind of a job. 'Failing to -get jobs these men continue“ until they land in Van- couver, Victoria and New Westmin- ster. In these cities the unemployed} are accumulating fn hardes. Return- ed soldiers clubs are ‘jammed with men who. RA come, West. tow: work. * wy The bad wre vl will eome neveral weeks from-now when. the’ money: these men have brought to the coast is spent and ¢hey have nothing to keep thi€mselves bn. Returned soldiers’ ‘‘erganizationus| and official Bodies here have already realized ¢hé seriousness of the sitn- ation and*haye taken steps to stop the westbound alas of men. The Provincial Government has sent out notices’ to the prairies tell- ing the governments. and the people that British Colembia cannot absorb any more men this wintér. Interview Premier When Premier. Meighen was here returned soldier bodies themselves took up the question with him. They pointed out that British Col- umbia already has more than its share of returned soldiers and that it will be impossible to care for more, especially those who are -incapacitat-| ed. The Premier has promised to do something when he reaches Ottawa! In 1914 the aineriployment problem here was solved by the war, when men were absorbed by the recruiting} organizations.

An instrument of that type that we fo-know more about is the Rebec. This instrument is mentioned his- torically as appearing in Europe in the eighth century. It has pear shaped body terminating in a slendor neck, also having three strings and from the rebec we have the viol. The first viol was ‘originally the size of a viola or tenor violin as used in the modern orchestra. The chest of viols is a huge case with a family of viols in, compris- basses. All we now have left in general use of-the viol family is the violin, viola, violincello and the double bass. Viol da Gamba is an instrument about the size of the violincello, but .ig no more used as the violincello dis- placed it. The gamba-had six strings and bars or frets across the finger board. Another instrument was these Viol di Bordone, also having six strings but below the neck lay sixteen metal strings which were plucked with the left hand.

An instrument called Violo da Braccio, was another instrument having six strings and was known as the arm viol, as it required to be held in the bend of the arm when Played. 5 Viola da Gamba mentioned above was called the leg viol. Owing to the size of the instrument it was held between the knees when played. - It is now obsolete. An instrument called Viola Pom- poso. was a five string viol and measured four feet in length, said to be invente, ‘by J. S.-Bach. This in- strut played like the violin- , ‘violin of to-day takes predom- imance in the formative period of modern music because’ it has such op- portunities for brilliance and melodic expressiveness. Sir John Hawkins tells of the ear- ly viol» thus—"The viol was in use only to accompany the voice and when madrigals and singing was in the decline gentlemen began to ex- cell on the violin and substituted in- strumental music in place of vocal. The composers therefore framed compositions called fantazias for the violin, these compositions having six parts .answexing to the number of viols in a set or chest. We have now traced the violin kind and noted the development right from its rude beginning to its present perfection.
