V t Just why jigâ€"saw puzzles should be so popular at present is hard to say. ‘They have been in existence for years in tha Anzloâ€"Saxon world. and have been used by the Chinese for thousâ€" ands of years. But they wore considerâ€" ed chiefly a pastime for children and invalids until the last few months. Apâ€" parently they were revived just at the psychological moment, supplying an actual need. The majority of people nowadays have consderable time on their hands. It seems likely that the conditions which made the jigâ€"saw flourish will continue for some conâ€" giderable time. So while the craze may not maintain its present intensity for more than a few months, there will be a continuing demand for new puzzles which will reduce unemployâ€" ment and add to the happiness of thousands.â€"â€"London Free Press.

Much industry, research, and ingenuity have been devoted to the quest of economéâ€" cal processes for the scientific utilizaâ€" tion of coal. A variety has been dis covered, and some of them have been applied on a limited scale. But there have been snags and difficulties inâ€" numerable. It is one thing to conduct a successful experiment in a laboraâ€" tory: another to float a process as an industrial and commercial success. It is for the Government to put the mat ter to the test, and to act swiftly. One thing must be secured above all. It is that coal treatment shall be regardâ€" ed not as a separate industry but as part of mining, and its benefits shared with the miners who have borne adâ€" versity so long and so patiently.â€"Lonâ€" don Daily Herald. South Africa‘s departure from the gold standard seems likely to have far wider consequences than the mere imâ€" mediate benefits to this country, and may yet be the deciding factor in the battle for the command of world prices that has been going on since Septemâ€" ber, 1931, between the sterling bloc and the countries remaining on the old gold basis. It means that the Witâ€" watersrand, the producer of the bulk of the world‘s raw gold, is now deâ€" manding a higher price for its product â€"a price more in keeping with the world commodity values. . In other words, our gold producers, when reâ€" leased by the Union‘s departure from the gold standard from their obligaâ€" tion to sell their product to the South African Reserve Bank at a fixed price, showed the world that they considered that their gold had been selling too cheaply, and they immediately left a group paying about 84s. an ounce and joined a group paying about 122s. an ounce. The Transvaal Chamber of Mines appears to consider a victory for the sterling bloc a foregone conâ€" clusion, and to be banking on the old price of 84s. an ounce for gold never returning. â€" Johannesburg * Sunday Times. Railway transport, in Malaya as well as at home and in other countries of the Empire, has cried "Wolt" rather more loudly than other transport sy#â€" tems. There has, in consequence, grown up a feeling as between railway and road transport that each is out to cut the other‘s throat in catering for transport requirements. The railways take the view that the road services are unpleasant competitors who, if they cannot be displaced, must at all events be handicapped, while the road transâ€" port operator would probably like to select the cream of the traffic without restrictions and responsibility. It is for the Government to hold the balâ€" ance equitably between the two.â€" Singapore Fress Press. Doing Their Bit Two persons intentionally paid the State of New York greater sums in income taxes last year than the law! required; one, a retired professor, waived his personal exemption from taxes on a part of his income, and the other, an executive in a transportation: company, forebore to write off $25,000 of losses sustained in sales of securiâ€" ties. Neither is named, but both are cited as fine examples of public spirit. These men deserve public gratitude. They acted as a gnerous regard for the welfare of their fellows dictated. Their sacrifice is acceptable at a time when sacrifice is difficult and when the State finds it more difficvuit than in living memory to obtain the reâ€" venue that it requires. Their example may be recommended to others who can make similar sacrifice without passing it on to their own dependents. â€"Brooklyn Eagle. Mr. Roosevelt‘s Task Ounly one other President in the hisâ€" toyr of the Republic has taken offite at a time when it was evident that the course of his administration was to be beset from the very start with such dangers and such crucial problems as face Franklin Delano Roosevelt. That other President was, of course, Abraâ€" ham Lincoln. Toâ€"Gay there are tearl‘ expressed in conservative circles, as there wore in the early sixties, that the new leadership will bring the naâ€" tion into untried and dangerous paths, but that complaint has few terrors for a people which finds itself bogged down in a morass of difficulties deeper, as it believes, than any in all its past experience. It is as clear to the Americans of toâ€"day as it was to those of Lincoln‘s time, either that the old ways led to disaster or that their leadâ€" ers have somewhere missed the road and they demand a guide under whose direction they can cut a new road back to safety and security.â€"Detroit Gold Prices and Sterling THE UNITED STATES Road vs. Rail Stream Flow in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Ottawa. â€" The Dominion Water Power and Hydrometric Bureau of the Dept. of the Interior reports that runâ€"off in weotern and southern Manâ€" itoba continued substantially below normal during January, the flow of the Assiniboine at Headingley being alout oneâ€"half the January mean whilst the flow of the Red river in the south of the .rcvince was only 10 per cent. of the mean ind a new minimum was recorded.

Only an absuxdily small number are destroyed by means of spraying and while the birds help to keep them down their work is nothing compared to the control exercised by the insects upon each other. The struggle for existence among the millions of difâ€" ferent species, Mr. Croft declared, is indeed difficult for the human mind to grasp.
