The American volley rs the,.open door. In China, of course, not the United States. Unemployed girls in Brisbane, Aus- tralia, promise a Street demonstra- tion in the nude. We fear it would 'not beta them in the least and .would only, for .the ti}dp being, menaii4 unemploryntent among' the men, From the injunction "Swear not at all," we arg not to draw the in- ferenee that we tire to Swear only at a few, Two professors of Cornell Univer- sity say plants get drunk an alco- hol like humans. Which may ac- count for those daffodils dancing with Wioudsworth's heart, Lord Passfield writes that Ramsay MacDonald had lost touch with his followers, whose importunities he re, sented and that this accounts for the eagerness with which he sought a new alignment. Much may be for- given him. Some of his followers, especially the Clydesiders, made up in conceit what they lacked in know- ledge and in turbulence what they lacked in logic. He called me "buddy" when he said: Stick 'est up—bo quick about it! Hit me ,on, the head be did (Feel the bumps there if you doubt it) Stole my stoney and you bet he Left me there both bowed and bloody. Let hint off, Judge, Don't forget he Called me "buddy." • Charles Lamb had the right idea. H'o did not believe all the stories about street beggars accumulating small fortunes, He thought such stories "miser's calumnies." Give, and ask no questions was his motto. "W"hen a poor creature comes before thee," he said, "do: not stay to in- quire whether the seven small child- ren in whose name he implores thy assistance have a veritable existence. Rake not into the bowels of unwel- come truth to save a half -penny. It is good to believe :him. If 'he be not all he pretendeth, give and, under a personate father of a family, think (if thou pleasant) that thou hast re- lieved an indignent bachelor. When they come with their counterfeit looks and stumping tones, think then, players. You pay your .money to see • a comedian feig thee things which concerning these "poor people, ,thou canst' not certainly tell whether they are feigned or not." It is .worth While passing on this sermon from the Essays of Elia. Better be gulled by an imposter once in a while than turn down an unfortunate. We ran across onethe other day, a young fellow, six feet two or three, fairly well dressed. He : had came from British Columbia,` -where he was miner and prospector;', thinking to find employment In the gold ernnpii. of the Porcupine. He was unable to do. so. Ile could not get relief work either beeanse every place he streak, had its own to look after. What is that poor fellow to do but roam from place to place until he finds what he is looking for,—weak? ,r It is said that illthat part of Saskatchewan ttthe're practically nothing grew Met year, the bees did business as usual, utilizing ,the sow thistle, which will grow anywhere, as the raw material for their 'finish- ed product. There is a moral here, whatever it is. Are we as a people taking full advantage of our justly celebrated depression? tombs have been sent by retail to certain persons in the United States. "But," says Uncle Sam, "I don't mind the bombs themselves. It's the debtor nations that bother me" • "Is our Canadian winter' chang- ing?" asks a contemporary. Seems like it and yet we are still afraid to say a . kind word about it lest it should change before our commenda- tion got into print. We gather from the cable dis- patches that ,Germany was quite will- ing to pay her creditors if they would lend her the money with which to de so. Rudy Vallee says crooning is not so easy as people imagine. People will exercise more fortitude now that they know it is harder err the crooner than they had imagined. Fires of mysterious origin are en- gaging the attention of the author- ities in some districts. There appears to be a suspicion that in some way a building can catch fire from a policy.

Trial Set for June to Avoid Expense 11andw dting Expert Testifies in Gotlerich in Case of Alleged. Forgery GOD'ERICH, January ' 24th With a view to • economizing in the cost of the administration of justice, of which compieint has been maide in Huron County, •Magistrate Reid yes-_ terady committed'Nornlan Wilson, al- leged forger, for trial at the June sessions. So far, there are no erian- inal? cases set down for trial at the Spring Assizes in February, and an attempt is being made to keep the sheet clean and avoid the expense of calling jurors. Wlhen Wilson was held. for questioning after alleged forger- ies on Deputy Reeve Mosef's account for 8860 had been detected, he was asked to write on a slip of paper. Yes, terday O. B. Stanton, Toronto hand- writing expert, testified that the same hand }Urate the forged cheques. Tel. lens . of the Royal Bank at Goderich and Clinton also pointed to Wilson as the man to whom they paid. $580 and $250 respectively, but both„adneitted that they took no steps to .have the man identified before handing 'ever the cash. Wilson was married' five days after the" forgeries allegedly were committed. His bail of $2,500 was not renewed yesterday, the bondsmen withdrawing. Not Much to be Proud of Even Now The Rev. Canon 'Cody is credited with telling a New York audience that liquor control in Ontario "in- spired law and order," and "avoided the mistakes that lead to bootlegg- ing and crime." If the eloquent ap- ologist had said that the passing of the Liquor Control Act had put a stop to agitation, and had almost completely paralysed the agencies which formerly fought the liquor traffic, he would have been within the mark. Since 1926 the temperance PAGE 3 forces' have been climb, 'with the sil- ence •of despair, while their erstwhile antagonists have little tosay because theyy are more or less satisfied. But when Dr. Cody ;gives our American cousins the impression' that govern- ment control has redueed'crime and "inspired law -and order" he flies in the face of facts. As the Toronto Star points out, during this last five years the number of persons impris- oned,in Ontario increased by 61 per cent., the imprisonments for drunk - mimes by 60 per cent;,: the convic- tions for assault by 62 per cent., the convictions for rape by 73 per cent., and convictions for breach of the liquor law by 220 per cent. Taking Canada' as a whole, convictions for driving while: drunk have more than doubled, and so have -fatal highway accidents. The full effect of the pre- sent law will not be felt, however, until the social drinking customs now becoming common and respectable have borne their, fruit in wrecked lives. 1f he lives to see ,that day, we have an impression that Canon Cody will not be so proud of his child.—Orillia Packet -Times, Forgotten Bank Acc- ounts reach Total of $100:000 Winnipeg, , Jan. 15.—(Romance and pathos are mingled in the mute tales told by a List of "lost" monies held by various ;banks in this city. The an- nual statements made to Parliament by chartered banks show upward of 2000 bank accounts totalling snore than $100,000, which have not been touched for many years, and in no ease less than five years. Some of the accounts were opened for babies, others were :Opened by people who disappeared directly af- terwards and have never been heard of since. Men in barracks here left money, went Overseas to fight, and never came back. Pioneers went into the North country and left deposits which they never called for.

As long as these banks stay ill business, so long will the accounts he recorded and the balances held heady. for ,payment. 1f a bank is wound up, Parliament, under. the Bank Act, puts these deposits in the treasury and 'holds them for all time, ' At any time a depositor or his proven heir may claim the money plus interest at threepercent. To Link Two Great Parks Wbrk on a highway that ,will link Jasper National Park and Banff Na- tional Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, a distance ref nearly two hundred miles, has begun. The coun- try through which the new highway will pass is at present comparatively little.lcnown, arid, with the exception' of a few game wardens, nnpopilated. The journey from Lake Louise to Jasper at -present is possible by pack train over an old Indian trail. The route of the highway will be one of unparalleled, scenie beauty, and offers an alternative mountain route to the many tourists now visiting Banff and Jasper. Both of the latter places are noted for their splendid accom- modation for tourists and their var- iety of attractions. Jasper National Park covers an area of approximate. ly 4,200 square miles and Banff Park, 2,585 square miles, while Yoho Park, 507 square miles, and Kootenay Park 587 square miles, ad- join the latter. GIVING SOME OF IT BACK A. farmer took his son to the Presi- dent ressdent of a large bank •and asked him to give the boy a jolt. "You see," he explained, "I want (rim to Iearn the business and become a bank cashier" Not very well impressed with the lad, the banker tactfully replied: "That's a good idea, but why don't you stake a farmer out of him?" "Well, I thought of that," said the farmer, "but, you see, the boy's net very bright."
