DEFENDER OF THE PIPES It is not often that the bag-pipes are under fire in a city which bears many impressions of the great pio- neering race, whose history, achieve- ments and aspirations are expressed in the tones of this instrument. In the last few days, however, a number of correspondents have complained in this newspaper that their serenity has been disturbed by the strains of the pibroch which they have likened to the squealing, of totured pigs. With this the Times does not agree. There is music in the bag-pipes, more, indeed, than there is in mart; com- positions for other instruments, which are described as highly classical, but which are about as melodious to the ear as high-grade futurist art is to the eye. We would rather hear some lusty young Scot practising on the bag-pipes than some tyro producing , howls and wails of agony practising ', on a saxophone or a trombone.

The wonder is how the ladies make those chicken suppers pay. Most people who go to them eat a great deal.

Collected by tho New Stateumu and Nation: Similarly it reports rises of 356 per cent. in imports of cattle; 122 per cent. in imported meat products, mostly canned; 7,446 per cent. in butter. l For one point, it brings out an "extraordinary increase” in imports of foodstuffs, which it attributes to lthe 1934 drought and higher domes- ,tic prices. It cites . gain of 117 per cent. over the first six months of 1984 in imports of wheat; e gain of) 226 per cent. over 1934 on by-pro- duct wheat feeds; an increase of 11,462 per cent. in corn and a rise of 47,558 per cent. in imports of oats. The Chamber of Commerce ant- lysis fails to break down totals of United States trade, either export: or imports, with various countries, but it emphasizes largely increased United States imports of commodi- ties which Canada produces. On United States foreign trade in general, the analysis revealed sub- stantial increases in exports to iNorth and South America and to Oceania, but brought out declines in trade with European countries, which at one time took four-fifths: of all United States exports and now take only two-fifths, and 3 heavy loss in trade with China which amounted to 40 per cent. of last year's total. I Simliarly, U.S. imports from all 1leading countries of the Empire ex- cept Ceylon were larger than in 1984. The analysis notes that "the Empire includes our three leading suppliers, Canada, the United King- dom and British Malaya." Regard- ing U.S. imports'generully, it re- marks that "an increase of 48 per cent was recorded for North Amer. ica, due largely to heavy imports from Canada and Cuba." MARKED GAIN A marked gain was recorded in imports from British Malay: which ‘totalled $68,799,000, or 29 per cent. above the 1934 figure. Only a neg- ligible gain, 0.04, was shown in pur- chases from India. Imports from the Gold Coast, Nigeria and other British West Africa colonies advtute.. ed 59 per cent.; from Australia 58 per cent.; from New Zealand 100 per cent.; from Hong Kong 48 per cent, and from South Africa 10 per cent.

Round about middle age is a sig- nitieant period of life when the dangers of eyestrain have to be kept in mind, writes Sir William rAbuth. not Lane. Host normal people tend to develop some degree of presbyopia " the age of fifty or so and find the need to wear glasses for near work. The presbyopic can see quite well at la distance but, when reading, for example, the print must be held an abnormally long distance from the eyes. It is common, however, for some other optical defect which has been latent to become manifest about middle age and impair also the dis- tant vision. Together these defects at likely to result in considerable eye-strain which for a man or woman " a relatively critical period of life may have serious consequences. No one can "ord needlessly to waste - during middle "e--a time when responsibilities are generally high and when the balance of health is easily disturbed. It is often thought, notably among women, that “taking to glasses" is a sign of old age, and they suffer the discomfort, and disabilities of eye-strain rather than consult the optician. This: is most unwise and many a serious bmkdown in general, health could have been avoided by the timely correction of eye~strain by the use of classes. A very great boon to those who enter a combined optical defect is the bifocal lens. When near and distant vision are atected it is possible to combine the different cor. motions in one glass. This does away With the inconvenience of changing the glasses according to the needs of the eyes.
