And as both appear to be quite satisfied as to the outlook why ciwuld the rest of us worry? o es se There is often much hubbub :seem -small things, The Montreal Star (Conservative) quotes Inspector Walter Duncan, chief investigating otlicer in the Customs investigation, as stating that the reports he made and the evidence upon which he bas- ed the reports, were tabled in the l4ouse. The only thing which was not tabled was a private diary of a woman which was not submitted by him to the committee because It dealt with the personal affairs of that woman, and not with matters winch he was detailed to investigate,. Mr, Lloyd George's personal rea- son, stated in his address to the sev- enth world convention of Christian Endeavor in the Crystal Palace in London, for feeling so strongly on the questions of arbitration and dis- armament carries with it an appeal that will surely touch many a heart. "I was one of those who had to bear the burden, some years ago, of lead- ing the youth of the world into war. That is why I am an earnest advo- tate of peace" He had previously called to thought that ".we ole] fel- lows" were brought up in a world that regarded armaments, with oc- casional wars, as part of the grim es- sentials of human civilization, and he made the forecast that, unless this belief was utterly destroyed from Human consciousness, there would be no telling what might occur in the future in the direction of other con- flicts. It is the war thought that must be eliminated and the right ides of peace planted in its place. With- al, however, Whittier's sentiment can well be pondered. But dream not helm and horn.'.:s The sign of valor true; Peace hath higher tests of man- hood Than battle ever knew. 1l"orris Council Meeting Four Point Four Beer Proves Complete Failure in Ontario Ontario's.

In their subsequent outcry at tele un- pleasant, discovery they have given eloquent proof—so their antagonists, the drys, assert—of the slight value of their professions that they are actually "moderates." Ontario's failure to satisfy tv,'te with 4.4 beer is declared to be symp- tomatic of a situation extending all over Canada, wherever provincial government are seeking to effect a compromise between wets and drys. Besides Canadian, many citizen.: of the U rifted States have looked to these efforts at Government control as a possible solution to enforee•mont, The argument has been that enforee- ltle0t would be easier if the liquor laws were less drastic.

Even in wet Quebec, hoot- le^,',ring is known to he rife, :led cas- es smuggling are frequent. Four Provinces Dry • Of the nine provinces of Canada, five have "Government control,' while four are dry. The "control" provinces, i'anluding British Colum- bia, Alberta,- Saskatchewan, Mani- toba and Quebec have a population of about 4,850,000. The dry provin- ces. including Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have 4,000,000 people. In On- tario the sale of 4.4 beer is permit- tee] but this beverage appears by most practical definitions, to be non-toxl- eating. The sale of natives wines is also permitted in 5 -gallon lots in On- tario, direct to consumers. However, the total Ontario bill for such bever- ages, together with liquor given in prescriptions, was only about $5,- 000,000 in 1925 for a population of about 3,000,000 people. To all ef- fects, Ontario, the most 'populous Canadian province and the Domin- ion's great industrial centre, is dry. The prohibition laws here are foredd with all the efficiency characterizing English dominions and colonies throughout the world, As 1 result the wets of the province are vocifer- ously discontented, and at the next Provincial election, which is likely to conte within the year, the whole ques- tion of Ontario's prohibitiln status is likely to be decided at -the polls.

Charles Co The Discovery of Canada Four hundred and twenty nine years ago, on the 6th August, 1497, John Cabot sailed into the port of Bristol with the news that he had raised the British flag for the first time in the, New World across the western nc•ean, During his early manhood, Cabot who was born at Genoa, h td made numerous trading voyages to t'..'n eastern Mediterranean ports, to which the rich products from the far end of Asia were then brought over- land for export to Europe. He be- came convinced - that the eastern coast of Asia could be, reached hy voyaging across the tinexplor'd wat- ers of the Atlantic+ ocean, and in 1484 he settled in England with his fsunllt for the purpose of raising the requisite funds to enable him to test his theory. With the assistance of the merchants of Bristol he glade severed voyages across the western ocean but he failed to sight any land The news that. Christopher Colum- bus had discovered the islands of the West folies• spurred Cabot to renew- ed 'tfurts, and on the 2nd May, 1197, he sailed from Bristol on his epoch - marking voyage. After railing acrosa the Atlantic for fifty-two day; hi 1 tie ship, "Mathew", which ear - ripe a crew of only eighteen teen. sighted the northern extremity of what is to -stay known as Cape Bret- on • Island• Cabot landed in the vieinity of Cape North, which he named Cape Discovery, attd it was there that he unfurled the I3ritish flag and took possession of the country in the name of King Henry VII.

Before returning home with the news of his great discovery he sail- ed to the north, where he sighted the southern coast of Newfoundland and discovered the richness of the cod fishery, and then oracle a speedy and uneventful voyage back to. England. The. British Monarch was by no means noted for Itis generosity, but he was so pleased with Cabot's suc- cess that he not only rewarded the mariner with a present of d10 and an annual pension of twice that am- ount, but he arranged to finance an- other axpedition to the New World the following year. In May, 1198, Cabot again sailed from Bristol in command of two large ships and a crew of 300 sten, having as his principal object the dis- roveey of the east coast of Japan, which he believed would be found to the south of the spot on which he -had landed the previous year. 191e ships were carried to the north by the Gulf Stream, and this gave: Cabot an opportunity to explore part of the ':astern and western coasts of Green- land, but in each instance he was driven south again by the intense 0 thenumerous of an presence of d d icebergs.

This achievement, we earnestly believe, will rank as one of the moot important in ail motor car history. Our engineers, working in conjunction tt'ith the engineering staffs of General Motors Research Laboratories acrd General Motors Proving Ground have divorced the annoyance of vibration to a point never before attained. They have given McLaughlin - Buick motor cars a new luxury of quietness at every speed, exceptionsl among all cars, no matter whet their price. Other Vital Another revolutionary improvement in the 1927 McLaughlin -Buick is the vacuum -cleaned crankcase. Crankcase moisture, the vicious foe of engine efficiency, is now drawn out of the crankcase before it has an opportunity to do harm- The crankcase is cleaned and kept free of dilution by the McLaughlin -Buick Vacuum Ventilator, a new device, operated by the air flow; positive and certain in action, and without a single moving part. The oil in the crankcase of the 1927 McLaughlin. Buick need be changed only four times a year! McLaughlin -Buick performance is now made more certain, more pleasant and more econo- Never in all the twenty-two years of McLaughlin -Buick success has there been catered such convincing proof of en- gineering and manufacturing leadership. McLaughlin -Buick oilers you today a brilliant example of the quality of McLaughlin -Buick craftsmanship— Confident that acquaintance with its performance and value will fix in mind the conviction that stoney can buy nothing finer— Certain that you will discover, in this great new cat, further evidence of the deep meaning in the longstanding pledge: "When Better Automobiles are built, McLaughlin -Buick Will Build Them." improvements mica( by thermostatic control in the cooling system. Water circulation is prevented and the heat held in the engine, until the proper operating, temperature is reached. Gear noise is removed by McLaughiin•Buick's new giant -tooth transmission, which is quiet in all of its speeds. Furtheequietness hos been obtained by a new muffler design. And in this remarkable new car McLaughlin - Buick introduces balanced wheels, another conuibution to. better driving. The princely beauty of the new Fisher bodies is in thorough keeping with the unusual and incomparable performance standards now attained. The Most Remarkable Fact of All—Value This Greatest of all McLaughlin•Buicks is the Greatest of all McLaugh- lin•Buick values. McLaughlin -Buick volume has permitted engineering research and development on a scale far beyond the reach of most manufacturers. Constant improvement has leveled one price barrier after another, unit now you are offered, in this new McLaughlin -Buick, a car as fine as money can buy, at the price of cars of very ordinary quality.

This has scrapped nine dry seats and added ten wet ones. Drys declare it is a clear case of political gerryman- dering. Nevertheless the drys are confident that with the increasing evidence the "Government liquor control" is not proving satisfactory in the western provinces, Ontario will remain in the dry column if the mat- ter -ceases to a vote. Nearly 4,000 "4.4" beer permits were issued in Ontario after 1.111 law permitting its sale was passed agatn.it the vigorous protests of the drys. The law provides that customers may not be served over the bar, but must be seated.

All that is now in the past; the 4.4 bier boom fizzled out with a hardly audible "pop." The permits which are still issued are said to be found chiefly useful where they camouflage something stronger. Instead of making prohibition en- forcement easier, it is declared by observers that 4.4 beer like other wet palliatives has made enforcement more difficult. To -day the streets of Windsor which at the start of the boom were filled with excursionists corning as far south as Washington, have re - seined their normal aspect. Wind- sor is just across the river from De- troit and so close that there is talk of linking the two by subway, To- day it is virtually as "dry". as its largo neighbor., At the height of the 'boost nearly every other store on the thoroughfare leading up from the Detroit terry was a beer parlor; '15o•day those otstwhdle $elate 541140 andfor s es. The moral the prohibitionists draw is one which they apply to all of Can- ada, and particularly to those prov- inces under Government liquor con- trol, They assert the facts show it is more difficult to compromise suc- cessfully between wet and dry sys- tems than to have an out-and-out dry regime. They point to the failure of the 4.4 beer to satisfy the so-called felfoderates" as an indication that the latter are really wets, despite all their professions to the contrty.
