Truth (London): Though it may be arm unpopular thing to say, the plain truth is that a ‘good many soâ€"called small investors are not investors at all in the strict sense of the word, but speculators, and reckless specuâ€" lators into the bargain. Safety first securities do not appeal to them, nor are they satisfied with the yields of any investment that can be regarded as reasonably sound. They go out for big gains, and when they come to grief throw all the blame on the law and the Stock Exchange. Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty, and humane feeling. . . . In training â€" a child to activity of thought, above all things we must beware of what I will call "inert ideas"â€"ideas m%r;ly received into thr mind without ng utilized, or tested, or thrown into fresh comâ€" binations.

St.. Johns, ‘Newfoundland. â€" The , actual experiments to make icebergs . visible at nights or during fogs were carried out in Notre Dame Bay on the northeast of Newfoundland. | Important Discoveries j In cpening his talk which was i1â€" lustrated with a film of the trip and ; numerous slides Dr. Barmes stated | that perhaps the most important db-! coveries yot made in regard to iceâ€", bergs were disclosed during the exâ€". pedition, which was madé possible in such an oxtended scale through the generosity of Mr. Van Horne, a formâ€"| er Montrealer. ! The Ttbject of the trip briefly was to find a means of detecting and thus avoiding fcebergs at night or during a fog. The St. Lawrence route to Europe, the speaker said, was becomâ€" ing more popular year by year y reason of its beauty. If the {ceberg menace were removed, it would pcosâ€" sibly be the most popular, and s0 bring great advantage to Canada. The scene where the illâ€"fated THâ€" tanic went down, after striking an Iceâ€" berg, was shown in a slide in which was also illustrated the north and south routes by way of the St. Lawâ€" rence to Europe. The only great disâ€" advantage with the morthermn route through the Strait of Belle Isle, which was from two of three hundred miles shorter to Europe, was the cold Arctic current bringing down dangerous iceâ€" bergs ‘at certain seasons of the year when shipping schedules must be maintained, he said. The route to the south of Newâ€" foundland had also its dangers from i¢ebergs and fogs, sometimes the more so as icebergs tended to break up on reaching warmer waters and so proâ€" sent the danger of collision with soâ€" ICEBERG DETECTION f 4 sPACIOUS LOUNGE ROOM iN ENGLISH DIRIGIBLE General view of commod!lous lounge roocm of the Râ€"101, recently constructed oneâ€"hundredâ€"passenger British It Hardly"Seems Possible That This Can be an Airship | s Methods of Detection _ "Three differeut methods of detectâ€" ; ing icobergs were tested as the opporâ€" tunity granted. The first described was that afforded through the pecuâ€" liar phenomena of warmer water in the vicinity of an iegberg. Contrary to general belief, Dr. Barnes pointed out, when tests are made with a microthermometer, as a ship comes in the vicinity of an iceberg, the temâ€" perature of the water is found to rise, Iwhile on approaching land the temâ€" perature is found to fall. _ Explana ! tions of this seemingly contradiction . were given. veral icebergs where before on!ly ong existed. The ship‘s navigator might, by takâ€" ing gzwt.mpenmre of the water at the proper (intervals and recording theseâ€"findings on a curve or chart, be enabled to avoid ‘shoals and icebergs by noting any unexpected fall or rise In the temperature in the water, the speaker said. . £ The second method of detécting iceâ€" bergs at night or during fogs was to shoot thermit flares forward in the path of the ship‘s course and to watch for shadows of icobergs. _ ‘The flare on the opposite side of the iceberg silhouetted it against the skyline and the ship‘s course could then be alterâ€" ed to avoid a collision. A The obvious weakrmesses in such a method of detection with apparatus at present known were poiqted out. These flares were subject to the capâ€" rice of the wind and were cften carâ€" ried far from their objective during stormy weather. They were most effective in calm weather, the speakâ€" er said. Dr. Barnes explained that icebergs in disintegrating give forth an irreâ€" gular series of explosive sounds. Atâ€" tempts were made to pick up these sounds, carried by the medium of the water, on the ordinary ship‘s submarâ€" ine microphone but nothing was heard. : * Chance Disdovery The third method of iceberg detecâ€" tion, which was hailed by physicists and scientists present as being perâ€" haps most portentous in possible apâ€" plications and future results, was dis covered to some extent by chance. An improvised microphone consistâ€" iny of a rubber hose with a funnel atâ€" tached to one end and a sheet of rubâ€" ber placed over the funnel to make the apparatus waterproof was then utilized. . Within a dstance of six miles of an icebery the explosive sounds were picked up. _ At five miles these "disâ€" tinctive" sounds could be plainly heard, while at three miles distance they were quite loud. This later finding is now receiving the attention of research workers and shipping men and it is expected that with mre suitable apparatus, but usâ€" ing the same principle, icebergs will be detected at a distance of five miles or more and thir position . located quickly by means of the differential between two microphones placed at different positions on the bow of the ship. _ Ships will then be able to TORONTO 'mako,tull speed, or nearly full speed, ‘iand avoid collisions by knowing the | location of icobergs in their paths, ipy combination of freedom and soâ€" briety which rules practically all over | France. We anticipate, however,, that ; the proceedings of the Commission | will turn out to be merely .the old ‘ dreary farce of a conflict between ?tapaticu. leading‘ to nothing at all but a waste of public money. New Statesman (London): It is reâ€" ported that the Commission will visit Canada and the United States to study Amerian Hquor conditions on the spot. If this is true, we trust that they will also visit France and Italy and Germany, and seek to disover why the liquor problemi in those counâ€" tries is almost nonâ€"existent..

An effective method of protecting the trees from the pest has been found in lightly smearing the trees to a sufâ€" ficlent height with axle grease. The Unemployment Problem Kappa in the Nation and Athenaeum (London): Mr. Thomas is uncannily asute; but neither his training nor his habit of mind are such as to give the public much confidence in his power to tackle this formidable task . . . . He is, in fact, a lightweight in politics, There is grave doubt whether . . .. in Mr. Thomas we have the strong man we need for the job. His first step, the holiday visit to Canada, and its ludicrous results, have left a bad impression. There was no need for Mr. Thomas to go to Canada, but the Iwre of Empire was too much for him.

'u this the end of the story? ~By no means. < The steady decrease of our farm population gives the average man a sense of uncasiness mbout agriculture. Many {armers are «actually ceasing to farm, and are moving to swell the mklotmvormmmu. Yet it would seem that, as the nation‘s mouths increase in number, the farm population should also increase. Someâ€" thing must be out of joint. ~The newâ€"type farmer is the jokor in the logic.

The new type farmer struck up a ~very friendly acquaintance with the soils of his farm; he jollied the sour ones with â€"lime, jacked up others â€" with salts, . fed thom legumes, and then egged his perkedâ€"up soils on to his corn, wheat, and potatoes. He fashâ€" fjoned a better kernel on the cob and a better ear on the stalk. He learned what made winter wheat good, and at the last moment threw a double dose of protein into the head. He hit upon amnurau-nyampmmm housewife Tiked. .

Bu the progressive farmer is convinced that the same scientifi¢ methods he has learned to apply to running his farm can be used in convering his other difficulties;: ‘The farmer‘s living conditions, for instance â€"â€" community institutions, social gtatus, opportunity for enjoying life in equal measure with persons in other occupations â€"â€" ‘have always had points of serious deâ€" ficiency. Another revolution may o¢â€" cur here. In fine, whatever the crop, WNhAl« over the animal, this new type of farnier knows how to "breed it, feed it, asd sel it.
