PHILLIPS, Editor. in its columns on URING the seventeen years gince the war endéd, societies over the entire civilized world have beeh busily engaged in passing resolutions for the preâ€" servation of peace. But theory and idealism often disappear when the .sleeping Mars awakes and his shout summons nations to arms. Therefore any plan for peace preservation which dissipates the mists of theory and involves$ commonâ€" sense and simplicity is doubly welcome. Such a plan is proposed by Sengtor Nye, of the U.S. Senate, and eonsists of taking the profits out of war by levying inâ€" come taxes against the profiteers, Unscrupulous armamentâ€"makers, however, are not the only causes of war, though their impartial work as "salesmen of death" gives them a terrible significance. Jingoism of governments, international envy, jealousy, hurt pride, resentment, trade rivalry and, last of all, prophets who are forever predicting warâ€"these are all potent cauyses of war, We can‘t do much about envy and kindred emotions until the whole world is changed and enlightened. But something, surely, can be done about taking the prophets out of war. It is a modern maxim that if one keeps on thinking and believing a thing will. happen, it will happen. Over the world there are thousands of just such persons concentrated on a coming conflict whose persistence in this belief is working as much harm as the activities of some vendors of arms. On the contrary, each defeat is to him a step on the ;ny!hvmfirj. He retraces his steps to see where 4 “t OW.NMMM or mmmwuuuq:hgiutnfimh“-&n Those who ery havoc are of limited vision. Like a river in which strong underâ€"currents belie the surface eddies, the world today is full of war rumors but underneath are counter influences and make the voice of peace sound over the muffled wailings of the war prophets, The United States Treasury is now working on its third billion "in the red". The last consolidated stateâ€" ment showed a deficit of $2,011,041,971, and that only 51 cents had been received for every dollar spent thus far in the present fiscal year. Mr. and Mrs. Oliva Dionne, of Callander, Ontario, who have become rather well known of late, and who sre at present appearing on Theatre platforms in Chicago, were suddenly rushed into frontâ€"page headâ€" lines last Friday when an action was entered in U.S. Supreme court against them etâ€"al for $1,000,000. Quebec, the mother of Liquor Control, is putting up a holler because liquor sales are falling off, The first year under the present commission 1922â€"23, the revâ€" enue was twenty million dollars. In 1932â€"33, it fell to less than thirteen million; 1933â€"34 figures are not availâ€" able, but Provincial Treasurer Stockwell is proposing amendments to the Liquor Act to, if possible, increase the sales of liquor., For Quebec‘s sake it is to be hoped that sales drop still farther and this from an economic It is announced that, since the inception of beverage rooms in Ontario, seventyâ€"three of these places have had their authorities cancelled for nonâ€"compliance with the law. This proves that the liquor traffic trys to carry on in "the same old way." In 1933 there were 1294 persons enjoying an income of $50,000; 2893 with incomes between $20,000 and $50,000; 75,507 with incomes between $3,000 and $20,000, and 93,861 with incomes under $3,000. The total amount collected by the government in income tax was $61,â€" 399,171. Few farmers pay income tax. It is reported that increased rates will be imposed upon those of the larger incomes. Those well intentioned persons who think those who pay taxes should be further assessed to provide addiâ€" tional grants for every conceivable enterprise should keep in mind the following facts, which have been frequently published but promptly forgotten: Canada‘s national debt (for which the war is chiefly responsible) amounts to $2,764,064,204. The debt of the Canadian National Railways to the public is $1,246,330,439, and to the government $1,536,073,758. Sault Daily Star: Figures collected by the Quebec Department of Agriculture show that on 139,957 farms in the Province there are 80,000 spinning wheels. The number o}l hand looms on farms is estimated at about 53,000. These articles of household machinery are utilizâ€" ed for the spinning of yarn, making of rugs, carpets, woollen garments and other wearing apparel. The power of littles is being splendidly exemplified by an Anglican congregation in which wealth is not known but where loyalty existed to a gratifying degree. To help the exchequer it was proposed that members should contribute a cent a meal. This was done. And $70 a month from the limited number contributing was the result. This is a plan that is worthy of wide approval. How much better than the interminable round of bazaars, teas, dances and euchres almost universally employed to support the work of the church. "The Cotters‘ Saturday Night" is the title of one of the programs broadcast by the Canadian Radio Comâ€" mission. It originates in Cape Breton and, Scotch throughout, includes one number in the Gaelic. One of the special features is ‘the reading of the "Book of Golden Memories," in which are recorded the birthdays of aged people. From this farâ€"off company Neil Mcâ€" Gillivray, of Woodbridge, received congratulations on his 93rd birthday, a few weeks ago. On Saturday night last no fewer than 18 persons, all of whom had passed the ninety mark during the week, the oldest being 104, were greeted and congratulated.

ERASING THE WAR PROPHETS NOTE AND COMMENT The cénsus of 1981 gives the inâ€" formation that 2,218,000 Canadians are wage earners, and that the averâ€" age salary for men was $927 and for women $560. .Farm laborers averâ€" period of 1933.

Those who have forgotten, or who never knew, the terms of the reciproâ€" city agreement entered into by the government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and which was so decisively rejected by the people of the Dominion, conâ€" tinue to refer to the great mistake that was made at that time. It is quite safe to assert that submitted to the Canadian taxpayers at the present time the same agreement would meet a similar fate. What this country desires, and has always favored, is a treaty fair to both countries. There are indications that the President and Executive of the United States are at last ready to discuss trade matters in that spirit with Canada, and Premier Bennett is meeting with them in the same spirit. But no arrangement that will sacrify Canadian rights will be forced upon this wougtry by her powâ€" erful neighbor, Many times Hon. Mackenzie King has repeated the statement that his government reduced Canada‘s nationâ€" al debt by $240,000,000. ‘The other side lof the story is never told by Mr. King and his followers, but was again preâ€" sented in the House of Commons by Hon. Dr. Manion, Minister of Railâ€" ways. "One must not," said the doctor, "take hon. gentlemen opposite exactly at their word with regard to that $240,000,000, because, instead of cutting down the debt of Canada by $240,000,000 between 1925 and 1930, ~addedâ€" toâ€"theâ€"debtâ€"of â€"theâ€"railwaysâ€" by $461,000,000. That is what they did. They added to the debt by $461,â€" 000,000, and if you take one from the other it leaves a net addition to the debt for which this éountry is responâ€" sible, although ‘indirectly I admit, of $221,000,000 during ;that time. That is the actual fact." * * Day by day the t:llowers of Right Hon. Mackenzie Kifig express themâ€" selves in favor of the Unemployment Insurance measure introduced by Mr. Bennett, and with equal regularity seek to prevent its passage by conâ€" tending that it is unconstitutional. Quite different the position taken by the Labor and Progressive members of the House. Hon. Mr. King and his party opposed the Empire Trade Agreements, the Marketing Act, the Farmers Creditors‘ Arrangement Act, the Canada Bank Act. All these meaâ€" sures have been supported by indeâ€" pendent members of parliament and by progressive organizations throughâ€" out the land. It is therefore not surâ€" ‘priling that obstacles are being put in the way of the passage of the Unâ€" employment Insurance Act, a measure lthat will greatly assist millions of Canadians in the coming years. it," she said.

MANY COMMODITIES MADE FROM BONES There is a saying that those who buy beef buy bones. This is espeâ€" cially true of some cuts; an ox conâ€" tains about one hundred and twent, pounds of bones. It is computed that the bones of cattle slaughtered in Germany in one year amount to over a billion pounds, or fifty thousand carloads of twenty thousand gc‘unda each. If all the bones of all the catâ€" tle, hoFs and sheep killed in Canada annually were put in a pile, the size of it would be amazing. What beâ€" comes of the bones? Many articles have been manuâ€" factured from them, such as buttons, penholders and little figures of variâ€" ous kinds.

By the following June the agency was made an "Office of Deposit and Discount," and thus the first branch came into being. Two others scon mnau‘â€"-dMn‘York (afterward Toronto).

Bones are valuable as a fertilizet on farms and in gardens. Long m in ancient China, they were pou ugoand scattered on the fields, and for about a hundred years bones have been thus used in Europe.

It is estimated that the dials of autoâ€" matic telephones in this country travel nearly 150,000 miles every year. Even passing through the shortest distance possible to make a call on a city exâ€" change a dial travels over a foot and a half. If a telephone number is dialled. with the wireless switched on in the some room, a number of clicks sound in the loudspeaker as the dial revolvesy These clicks are the secret of the auto« mati¢ telephone, Inside every dial telephone is a circular wheel with ten spikes on the rim. By dialing a numâ€" ber this wheel is wound up. On the return journey each spoke passes over a tify contact, causing an electricat impulse to be sent over the line. The se?uence and combination of the imâ€" pulses are sorted out at the exchange, and the call is "routed" to its destinaâ€" tion. "Everything is pro'slpecr.ive, and man is to live hereafter.
