The Changing World The world changes; and the minori, ties of yesterday are the majorities of to-day. A few years ago the East, hourne woman who called a beaeh-py- jamawlad girl a "brazen huzzy" would have been applauded as the upholder of the decencies and the conventions. Now she ls lined ten shillings for "dis. orderly conduct." Beach pyjamas are the convention of to-day. and their de. riders are the eecetttrics.-Londott Evening News. The craze for cheaper and stlll cheaper goods is being carried to ex- cessive lengths, and threatens to ditV place goods ot sound merit, which ought not to be displaced and would not be displaced It consumers had more rwnso- and a better grip ot real value-Cape Argus. The Vellow Peril The Japanese have still one great lesson to learn-the lesson that in the long run quality always tells; and failure to appreciate this point may yet prove their undoing. Their goods, though cheap, are almost invariably "nasty." Not only are they inferior in quality to similar goods of Western manufacture, but they are often turned out on a plan that must be described as one of deliberate sharp practice. Instances of this-especially in regard to misleading trade.marks-have been freely Quoted in the daily Press during the past week; and South Africa will not easily forget the ttood of "dummy" lead pencils (containing halt an inch of lead at each end) dumped into this country from Japan soon after the war.

THE EMPIRE World Conlerence and the Empire Britain has already set an example of initiative and energy; there are great possibilities, in the Empire as a whole, ot economic recovery and de. velopment. To go ahead with a Itrae- tical program is imperative; it would have been a duty, whatever the suc- ce-is of the Conference; it is a duty, whatever may or may not he done early or late, to give etteet to that hope that called the conference. As things are, with no certainty ot expec- tation that anything worth while will result trom it. the call is all the more clear for realizing the possibilities within the Empire. perhaps with the cooperation at some other countries. - Auckland Weekly News.

We know this will not occur again. Thank you." A barnyard spree took place recent- ly on the farm of Herbert Hewer, Airertoyle, Ont. when tour large vats of wized mash were dumped into a nearby creek. Pigs staggered, cows cavorted and ducks squawked hilari- ously. The animals had lived a res- pectable rural existence prior to the arrival of Sergeant Frank Samson, R.C.M.P., and Constables Barr, Bailey and Warner. The mounties later emerged from the barn carrying sev- eral cans of pure overproot alcohol. A still capable of producing 100 gal- lons a day was found in a secret com- partment under the hay mow. Part of the cow barn had also been par- titioned off as a vast underground mash manufacturing plant. Four vats were bubbling over with sugar mash when the mounties arrived. The moun- ties had no thought of consequences when they allowed the spoils to flow into the creek. The answer came when a herd of cows walleued in for a drink. Then one cow threw back her head and bellowed hilariously. A see. ond jumped a fence. Then the pigs staggered away from the bank and flopped into mud. The officers also watched sparkling ducks attempt to walk. A high percentage of unintentional traftle law violations are penalized ln- ovitably under the present system.

A two-third ma- Jority was near-usury tor the adoption of the plan. When registration opened at the end of August the farmers were so apath- etic that fears of failure were enter. tained.
