When a achine in a factory or a farm imâ€" plement or other instrument of serâ€" vice ceases to meet ;{reuent day needs or fails to efficiently do what it is meant to do, it is regarded as obsolete and we immediately take steps to reâ€" g}ace it with something . better. odern mechanization and sweeping strides of science have rendered many things obsolete in the present cenâ€" tury. Chief among those that should be thus relegated to the junk heap is War. As an instrument of purpose it has become too costly to operate and is no longet capable of assuring reâ€" turns compatible with the amount of lgbor and material expended. Gréat War Proved That War Is Outdatedâ€"Obsolete Intengive Educational Campaign Necessary to Brinfi the People and the Nations to a Vivid Realization of the Futility of Warâ€" Brute Force Does Not Create Anything Durable or Lasting. The law of the jun‘glle is obsolete in relations between individuals. The use of force has been practically abandoned in settling private disputes because enlightened individuals have learned that it does not pay. It must have been dawning on that great soldier leader, Napoleon, that war was even then beginning to fall into the same category, when he said, "The more I study the world, the more I am convinced of the inability ott’lbr#ue force to create anything durâ€" able. Possibly war did at one time achieve what it set out to do. Some will point to the civil war in United States as having been justified beâ€" cause of the emancipation of the South, but an intelligent application of reason and humanitarian underâ€" standing should have yielded better results at less cost to either party and without the antagonistic afterâ€" math that even yet persists. It was not all profit. > Fo]lowir(xg the Francoâ€"Prussian war, althouEh Jerman}/ was able to exact from France sufficient indemnity to cover her actual war costs and France was able to pay without bankru(fting herself, yet the indemnities did not compensate the private losses of Gerâ€" man citizens. French customers were lost to German industry and German prices went up because of the influx of gold from France, The restriction of imports and the increased costs of livâ€" ing actually resulted in a period of distress in Germany. Ten years after the war Bismarck himself, said that "he was struck with the general and growing distress in Germany comâ€" rared with France". War was plainâ€" y becoming obsolete as a means to national welfare and advancement. It still remained for the Great War to prove conclusively that war is outâ€" dated. Why was it fought? To end wars? To preserve democracy and save European countries from desâ€" potic governments? To protect the weak from ravages and suffering? To gair world markets for some belliâ€" ferents? To establish world prestige or one or more combatants? If so, it represents four years wastedâ€"and worse. Its tragic failure marks war "utterly obsolete" as an instrument fox: segtling international disputes. _ se on en Lt ct * It must surely be evident that the expenditure of 185 billions of dollars by four of the Allied Powers alone during four years of war and the apâ€" portionment of over threeâ€"quarters of national revenue.toward. war. expenses in times of Peace represents someâ€" Implements _ and _ machines and methods always continue to be emâ€" ployed by the less progressive after they have become obsolete, until such time as it is realized that they are not efficient. So it is with war. What is needed is an intensive educational campaign.to bring the people and the nations to a vivid realization of the futility of war. _ . _ â€" 10 Years Ago C.C.M. hockey team is winner of championship of Mercantile League, and is receiving congratulations from all sides.

The tremendous scientific and techâ€" nological achievements of the past twentyâ€"five Years have set a new standard of living. These improveâ€" ments have not only made possible great increases in purchasing power ut have changed women‘s attitude toâ€" wards the problems of life. Women have become educated to appreciate beauty in the home and in regard to personal appearance. c _ Recent studies have revealed that women will make their purchases where their needs are more adequateâ€" ly satisfied. ‘They have become eduâ€" cated to style, colour, design, texture, etc., and will take their trade to those sources that show through their merâ€" chandising, publicity and management that they are appreciative of the posâ€" session of such information on the part of their clientele. Godlefi and Kaylin, in their "Conâ€" trol of Retail Operation" have this to say: "Some men and women take up retailing without a particle of enthusâ€" iasm. They say to themselves: If we open a store in a location which will be convenient for the buying public then we are bound to do business; and if we keep our expenses down, then we shall probably earn enough to enâ€" able us to live, liveâ€"and to liveâ€"just to liveâ€"is our main problem." _ _ "But the public has other ideas. The p|E)lic likes to go to stores which are ALIVE. It goes to stores which ask it to do business with them. The pubâ€" lic likes to do business with the ALERT, not with those who are pasâ€" sive. "And so those men and women who expected to get enough business to keep them alive, jusb{)y opening up in a good location find themselves having to face the competition of those who put life into their storeâ€" keeping." es 9 keeping." T%e department stores have made great strides in this direction. Their service to customers has become an obsession, their Yersonel has increasâ€" ed to include stylists, research operaâ€" tives, comparison worf(ers, budget adâ€" visers, economists, psychologist, and even psychiatristsâ€"whose duties are to furnish the management and the mer:handising staff with the facts it needs. Mount Dennis Locals I On Tuesday, March 19, our junior team played basketball against Brampâ€" ‘ ton at Brampton. It was an exciting game a]thong after the first two minâ€" utes of play Brampton never led. Our team had the edge by 8 to 6 at half time. Both teams lost two men on perâ€" sonal fouls and this influenced the g:me greatly. The score continued to close till the last five minutes when Brampton lost two players on fouls. It was then that our team raised the score to 26 to 17. Ja@k Nutting, the Etobiâ€" coke centre player, playing the best game of his career, was the star of the game and the strongest defensive playâ€" er on the floor, He was not weak in scoring either, as he managed to get twelve fpoims. The following Friday, the 22nd of March, the Brampton team came to Etobicoke H.S. and had a strenuous The question arises, what can the small retailer do to gain sales? "Probâ€" ably the greatest gains in retailing in the future," says an acute student of retailing, "will be made by those reâ€" tailers who are most adept, either by intuition or by scientific analysis, in determiningâ€" whatâ€" their customers want, not only as to merchandise, but also as to service, and even as to the store itselfâ€"its floor plan, its layâ€" out and its fixturing." _ Leading department stores have adopted a policy of EASY CASH RFâ€" FUNDS, a successful business pracâ€" tice, because it is based on the fact that "a woman sometimes changes her _ mind."
