Cin ' Imp 'evement in letter writing by the elimination of stock phrases as "your letter received and ,contents noted" is urged by Governor Pinehot,' Personally we would tae satisfied to receive letters pared to :the bone so long as they contain three Words: "Enclosed find cheque." The Duke of Wellington was mast- er of concise letter writing. His•re- ply to the woman who threatened to publish certain ,correspondence con- tained only_ seven words: Dear Fanny Publish and be .dammed, Wellington. • ` And yet there was something stately about other 'utters written -a hundred or so years ago, ending thus: "I have the honor to 'be, Sir, Your • obedient and obliged servant." That was., the way they did ib when it had to be done by, hand, now with labor savllige devices,, we -purpose ex- changing courtesy for curtness. ' The art of letter writing is well- nigh lost, thanks partly to the ste- nographers and tyewriter, no one to- day • writes such ;letters as made 1VIary Wortley Montague and Mad- ame de Sevigne famous. When they took pen in hand they had things to say,,and they said them. They didn't mind the time, ti work. Their thoughts Hewed front head. to pen to as ie Today, the convenience, or einbarras_! anent of stenographer and typewrit- ers seems; to Ereeze the genial cur- rent, }'Yiliat, dreary artificial .stuff Pepy's Diary and .iGrenvillo's.

There's no use telling people now to; `Use the pen there's inajic in it,',' If Horace Walpole were living today he 'wouldn't Mise it because it would delay. his' golf game. All ,that the modern conveniences have done is to make us look for further efficiency, hence the proposal to 'cut out .'all the forms of polite correspondence such as "hi reply to yours of even date," and "thanking you in anticipation," ,The fact is that the Less we have to do and the more tele we have in doing it the less wo want to do. 'Mechanization has thrown thousands of manual laborers out of employment and bas but incited its to reduce thework ofourmachines. Modern- authors will continue to turn out :books by dictation,' but we shall have no such diary as Evelyn's and no, books made up of casual lett tors all the more interesting because not intended for publication. That's where our descendants would have received their 'best insight into the manners and customs of our time, and the most candid criticism of men and affairs. But they are net going to get then from us as vie got them from our leisurely yet painstaking' forebearers Conscience money is still being' re- ceived,'showing that the still small voice can yet be heard' occasionally over the noise of radio and the roar of traffic. '' One man sends a rail- way company enough to pay trans- portation for a child because on one occasion he misrepresented the age. And he lives in Los Angeles where Aimee Semple's temple stands. But the paha still belongs to the Aman who many -years ago sent $30 •to the treasury at Washington because nine- teen years before, he had defrauded the customs, 'and his conscience had been -troubling him. In a postscript he added: "When my •- conscience troubles me again I'll remit the hal- mice." He is not the first, nor the last, to compound with that impor- tunate creditor. With Rt. Rev. Isaac O. Stringer, B.A., D.D., now the archbishop of Rupert's-Land, "the path of duty was the toad to glory." Almost forty years ago, on being graduated from Wycliffe, he went into the Arctic region as an Anglican minister a-. mong the Eskimo, a thousand miles away from a railway and the cont. forts and conveniences of modern civilization. Letters to anis Irani hint were months in transit, In 1911 he was lost for over a month and when fouhd by Indians he was reduced almost to. a .skeleton. Hard- ships and privations were no detri- ment to him. He sought no easy path and did his work without thought of earthly glory. His elevation to the bishopric` of the Yukon and now to archbishopric,'is a tribute to the zeal and devotion, the courage and intre- tidity of a great missionary. I. 0. Stringer and the writer of this col- umn went to school together at Kin- cardine, Ontario, boarded at the same house and slept in the same room. Of course, he had other advantages beside that, indeed it is quite pos- sible that even if we hadn't roosted toga -cher, he might still have became an 'archbishop. . You can never tell. The influence of early environments open up a large field for interesting speculations. Pal iticians are again accusing eacll other of raising' racial and re- ligious prejedtces, Wo knew a titan cnce who could raise prejudices of that sort; merely by deploring them. Sante authors will tackle any- thing. Ono writer of detective stor- ies who has created and solved hun- dreds of myster;es, undertakes to write "The Truth About Womnen" The conceit of him! The millionth Ford car in Canada has been turned out. Neatly all its predecessors have been turned in. If they find fault with me because I smile, I can't help it," says Mayor Walker of New York, Why should he try? Didn't Shakespeare say that a man may smile and smile end be mayor of New Yoik.

Friendship earties with it certain privileges, Oscar Wilde said that the artist "'Whistler .had no enemies, but that he was intensely disliked by his friends." The man who claims to have bred an "odorless skunk" should 'be ,brought beforethe humane Society. What night has he to deprive that animal- of its sole means of offence and defence and its only title to dis- tinction in the animal world? ,One of the chief economic diffi- culties is that the rewards -of labour are sadly out of line. A newspaper dispatch tells of an Amercian cler- gyman whogave uphis charge and went to work on the city dump be- cause his churchdid not pay hien e- nough to maintain his 'family and thecity did: It looks a little like propaganda in the United $tatrs' that story that, while food in.

"the truest thing that can be said o£ the War is that armaments made ii; inevitable." Sure, when a man buys a threshing muichine it, is a fair inference that he intends to use it. It is safe to guess that even though you can't eget a scent 'out of skunks,' you'll pay just as ttvuch for Alaska sable. There cannot; be, any excuse for bringing up the domestic affairs of Thomas Carlyle and his wife unless they ape to go on the films, (Things are changing for the 'bet- ter All the whiners of the Grand National lottery were poor. - s,'correspondent seriously asks a newspaper "If there is any truth in the story that Queen Elizabeth was a man",and tate editor gravely re- plies that "no reputable historian confirms such report." . Through our favorite medium we put through calls to the Earl of Essex . and Mary Queen of Scots, and they both declare unhesitatingly that, although Queen Elizabeth .swore like a man she really was a woman. Lady Cynthia Mosley, 'though wealthy and aristocratic, is a Social; fist and can speak the language of the proletariat. "What this country needs," says she, `.`is a party strong enough to form a government with guts." There would have been Lift- ing of eyebrows in Victorian days if she had used that expression itt pub- lic. ,Indeed it might have cost her father a peerage. How the word comes to a synonym for courage should engage the attention of lexi- cographers. In - olden • days the bowels were thought to be the seat of the affections, hence the expres- sion, "bowels of compassion." The heart is now considered the sent of affections .and of courage, too, hence the expression "stout hearted," het in the lurid lexicon of militant' solialisni "a government with a heart" would have little meaning and less appeal. 9 The late Tim Healy was a bonny fighter in his younger days but like ttianv others (not including Giemen- cean) be mellowed in his later years. A friendof mine who visited hint during the war says that Healy told htni that while he was a member at Westminster a neighbor used to plant h+s garden and take care of it 9n1 would not take pay or potatoes for Tis work, "That m_ an:' said Healy, "was master of an brange.

GIFTS TO WORLD PROGRESS HAVE BEEN NOTEABLE A compilation has been made by a Canad`tin newspaper of some of the contributions to world progress made by the Dominion in comparatively recent years and the following are noted; Canada built and demonstrated the first railway sleeping cars. Built and sent the first'eteam'boat across the Atlantic. Gave to the world the idea of the all-electtdc radio. Originated the idea 'of making 'pa- per from pulpwood, — First isolated'helium gas in com- mercial quantities. Originated the idea of the panor- amic camera. - 'oiiiginated the idea of electric heating. Built the world's first electric stove. ,Originated Marquis and other more recent wheats, which helped to build up the commerce of the West, both in Canada and the United States. ,The idea of the telephone origin- ated in Canada, and the first long - distance trials of the instrument were made in Ontario between Paris, Ont., and Brantford. Canada pioneered in .the field of electro- chomiSt ry with the d rsc avexy of calcium carbide -by Tom Wilson of Iiatnilton. 'Canada originated the idea of standard time,which has since been adopted in every civilized country in the world:. Canada built and demonstrated the first, submarine telegraph ,in the his- to' world. A Canadian physician, Dr. F. G, Banting of Toronto, discovered in- sulin, a serum. for the treatment of diabetes. Canada built and demonstrated the first compound steam engine in the history of the World, The effect of this invention was the doom of the sailing ship as a factor in ocean commerce.

To the Holders o v:!.-kkaat-44 WAR L AN AND _*„r„, .� TORY I 1 • A Statement by the Minister of Finance —•�,- h i ‘.• »«< N THE dark days of the War, Canadians loaned to the Government of the Dominion many hundred millions of dollars to enable the operations of the Allies to be carried tea successful conclusion. When Canadians loaned their money to the Government, they received bonds which were promises to repay them the sum loaned with interest at the rate of 5% or 55i% per annum. On tyre 1st of October next, $53,000,000 of these bonds become due; on the 1st of November, 1932, the maturity will be $73,000,000; on the 1st of November, 1933, $446,000,000; and, in 1934, $511,000,000 must be provided for. It would not be prudent, either in the interest of the security holders or the country itself, to wait until these loans become due before providing for their payment or conversion. Action must be taken well in advance of the due dates to protect the credit of the country. The Government believes this an oppor- tune time to afford Canadians the opportunity to exchange the bonds, which they own maturing in the next few years, for new bonds of the Dominion of Canada 'carrying interest at the rate of 434% per annum, which is a very attractive return, Prior to the maturity date of the present bonds, those who accept this offer will, of course, continue to be paid interest at the rate as provided by the bonds they eicchange. Canadians who have always shown confidence la their country are earnestly invited to exchange the bonds they now own for bonds of the new issue. By so doing, they will render less difficult the task•of providing for the future finances of the country, will enhance its credit and will greatly assist the Government in the present period of worldwide readjustments. No money will be asked for and no new bonds will be sold at this time. It is proposed to limit the present conversion to $250,000,000, but the Government has the right at its discre- tion to increase the amount if Canadians indicate a general desire to continue their investments in the securities of their Dominion. The subscription books will close on the 23rd of May. I earnestly seek the active support of my fellow Canadians in making this conversion, which is one of the largest financial operations our country has undertaken in recent years, credit- able alike to Canada and its citizens. 5 Minass`er of Finance.
