rangements.
There is an opening in Clinton, es
pedally at this season of ;the year,
for the rental of bicycles en long ,et'
sheet terms. One can rent or hirea
horse and rig from anyone of the Liv-
erymen doe a day or a week or a
month. Why not some one engage
in the bicycle business on the same
line: There is roots in Cinton'eor the
summer months for such a business,
Mr. E. W. Beatty joins the move-
ment to oompel motorists to come to
a dead stop at a railway crossing.
Some motorists who didn't did.
History records that 40,000 pounds

People who criticize international
conferences should remember that
the world is now a unit; made so by
steam and trade, bywars and trea
ties, by debts and credits, by tele-
graph
elegraph and telephone and wireless.
If its ills can not be redressed by
conferences, they cannot well be re--
dressed
e'-dressed without, although cases have
bean known where the patient re-
covered while thei doctors were in
consultation as to the nature of the
disease, it's cause and the remedies
which should bo applied.
Hitler's move to make every one
in Germany work with his hands
cannot bo construed as an attack on
the Jews. They always did that,
anyway.
In the enfranchisement of women
the United States followed the ex-
ample of British countries, but it
leads the way in selecting Mrs.
Owen a daughter of Wm. Jennings
Bryan, as ambassador to Denmark.
If diplomacy consists in the ability
to bring home the bacon without
spilling the beans a woman should
succeed quite as well as a man. In-
deed a discreet, intelligent woman
has a natural advantage as a diplo-
mat over an equally discreet and
intelligent man. If Mrs. Owen suc-
oeeds in this post it is mare than
her father could have done,
Tho Bank Act is not going to bo
revised this year, but we understand
that will not prevent banks from
lending us money at 5 per cent. if
they are determined to do so.
A United States newspaper pre-
dicts that Senate and Congress will
soon rebel against the Roosevelt dic-
tatorship and go to the very opposite
extreme. From rubber stamp to
eraser. I•`
The Dail Eireann has abolished the
oath of allegiance to the King. Most
of the members had previously sub-
scribed to that oath, They swallow-
ed it but apparently it didn't take.
That was a wonderful conversa-
tion which Roosevelt relates as talo
ing place between himself and Ram-
say MacDonald. They were talking
about the hope of the world, Roose-
velt said, "Mr. MacDonald, it is
more than hope five have got to do
it," And MacDonald said, "Yes, that
good old Scottish word 'got'. We
have got to do it." Very touching,
but the real old Scottish word is
"get." (Aye, the ,Scots would' be
getting'-1N.-R. editor.)
When Britain was on the gold
standard she couldn't keep the pound
up. Now she can't keep it down,

Republics are proverbially un-
grateful, so the Free State starts 'out
toward that form of government
with at least .one of its cbaracteris-
ties.
There is one advantage in quoting
a dead man. He can't get up and
say he was misreported.

Everything that has been done so
far in the United States has vindi-
cated the wisdom of those wito
hoarded their gold and still hoard it
Many of those who did not lost their
money in the banks and those who
were persuaded, recently to deliver
their gold to federal reserve banks
are wondering how much they lost
through the, devalorization of the
bilis which they accepted in • return
for their gold.
A Washington dispatch tells of a
"gigantic plan" by which President
Rocsevelt by relaxing the anti-trust
laws will enable private enterprise
to "throw its combined strength a-
gainst the walls of the depression."
It's going to be an awful flop be-
cause the depression has no walls.

Bernard Shaw is not the man he
was by any means. He admits he
is getting old, and it's not like Shaw
to admit anything upon which the

Illustrated papers show pictures of
an actor who is growing a beard so
that he can Properly represent Hen-
ry VIII. in a moving picture. We
understand the courts will not allow
him in his pursuit of realism, to• do
some other things that Henry dice
such as marrying half a dozen times,
beheading some wives and divorcing
others. No doubt it cramps his
style, but after all modern convena
tions have to be observed even in
the production of motion pictures.
The producers could have saved time
by commandeering Hector Charles-
worth.

Many who a few years ago were
classed as millionaires are passing
away and 'probates reveal estates in
the hundred thousands instead of
the millions. If the mortality con-
tinues we shall suspect that some'af
them are trying to beat succession
duties by dying while values are low.
A railway president in the United
States has taken so many cuts that
his salary now is only $109,000 a
year, but even that in tines like
these should be an incentive for him
to try to make the road pay.

The average man is much more
afraid of an elephant than of a mic-
robe, but the latter can give the .ele-
phant pointers, right along in using
up a man. A microbe is so small
that he can't be seen, so insignificant
that he can't be felt, so tasteless that
he can't be tasted, but he gets there
all the same.

EUROPE'S HINT TO THE GRAPE
INDUSTRY
Editor News-Reccrd:--.
A new lead in the development of
temperance work and one which, in
the interest of our grape growers,
would be well to explore, was opened
up in Paris during the third week of
April. The occasion was the meeting
a?f the First International Confer-
ence on the non-alcoholic use of fruits.
The gathering lasted several days.
Three hundred members were ins-
cribed. Twenty-two governments
were represented, as well as the. In-
ternationtl Labor Office and the In-
ternational Agricultural Institute.
The President of the Republic of Fran-
ce was Honorary -President of the
gathering. The Minister of Agricul-
ure, 3d. Q}ieiile, gave the opening ad-
dress and M. Benielon, Minister of
Health, closed the conference with
an impressive speech.
The new movement Bron tbie Wide-
spread recognition and active govern-
mental co-operation, though Promot-
ed by temperance workers, because
it suggests a promising remedy for
the distress of the over -developed
vine culture in which France is so
deeply interested, It promises better .
health to humanity through improved'
elimination due to more extensive
use of fruit and fruit juices en diet,
and it proposes a practical and con-
structive :method for combating al-
coholism.
i
1 The programme was varied and ex-
tensive. Four addresses dealt with
the international wine crisis, A very
valuable presentation on the hygien
ea and thereapeutic value of fruits and
fruit♦ juices was made by Prod. Labbe
of the Academy of Medicine. The
economic possibilities of the move-
ment were extensively explored. The
technical problems of manufacture

Pasteur Institute participating. A
day and a half was spent on methods
of propaganda—reaching the press,
using the schools, organizing grape
days, etc, etc., The value of fruit
juices as a substitute for alcoholie
drinks was prominently featured and
reports from trial stations afforded
encouragement, both as to popular
appreciation and economic advantage
•A splendid array ref fruits from
Europe, from America, from the
Argentine and the Colonies, together
with machinery and samples of the
finished product, was on exhibition
and attracted many visitors.
Instead of loading her wines with
brandy as she is now doing to the
detriment of her youth and the im-
pairment of her health and national
well-being, Canada night well take a
lesson from this intelligent, construc-
tive and forward-looking movement
begotten of distressing European ex-
perience. She might at least devise
some adequate method of distribu-
ting her limited fruit product and, if
need be, of acquainting her people
with its varied and healthful uses.
