| / #) Echo of the old Cornwall Bridge Company charter, given by the Senate amendments to the Weights and Measures Act was concurred in by the House. This Act, which was amended upon recommendations conâ€" tained in the price spreads report. will protect against short weighting in all phases of business. It was preâ€" sented to the House for considerâ€" ation by Hon. R. B. Hanson, (Yorkâ€" Bunbury), Trade and Commerce Minister. Busin>s of the House went along at a rapid clip last week, the final standing showing twelve bills having passed and all the main estimates through. Criticism of the manner in which the report of the Price Spreads Commission has been implemented brought forth a polite but firm reply from the Prime Minister. Criticism has been based principally upon the question of constitutionality. As Mr. Bennett pointed out, the government must do one of two things, it must invite Parliament to pass a statute which it knows is illegal and which will be set aside at the first opportâ€" unity, or it must ensure that there will be some amendment to the conâ€" stitution in order to render constiâ€" tutional that which has been declarâ€" ed unconstitutional.

On October 7, 1870, one of my grandmothers wrote 80 STRANGE A THING The decline in the virulence of colds has, of course, much to do with the decrease in the number of our muffilers and petticoats; but I think it is due more to knowledge of the process of infection. It used to be thought a proof cf nobility for a woman to continue to visit her faimly and friends while suffering from a streaming cold; and while she sneezed incalculable numbers of germs about them, her victims would murmur, "So unselfish; _ always thinking of others before herself." In my _ Grandfather _ Russell‘s family, colds were so constant that they became a public joke. In 1873, when my grandfather ardently supâ€" ported Bismarck in his struggle with the Pope, Punch had a cartoon repâ€" resenting "a very diminutive Lord Russell, with his handkerchief in his hand, standing by a colossal Prince Bismarck, who is wielding the sword of ‘No Popery,‘ and saying, ‘Go it, Bismarck, pitch into _ him! I‘d ha‘ done it myself, only I have such an awfully bad cold‘." My parents and grandparents were unusually intelligent and by no means poor; yet their lives were made constantly wretched by iltâ€" health, serious illness and death. The common cold, for instance, seems such a notable evil in our time that it is difficult to imagine it worse; but it used to be a much more dreadâ€" ful affliction. Nowadays, if we are strong, and live in the country, we may escape with two or three colds a year. In 1870 we should ccruinly,' in the same circumstances, have had at least twelve. l (Bertrand Russell, in New Statesman and Nation.) The increase in human happiness brought about by the discovery of microâ€"organisms and their action is in all likelihood greater than the coincident decrease caused throughâ€" out the same period by political and economic misgovernment.

But each â€" census shows how it has shifted, and the shift indicates how the population is moving. In Soviet Russia it is the same. The shifts are important.
