He says he will cut .down the salaries of the ministers by $2000. Good work! W'e've all had to 'work for less the past few years; why shouldn't cabinet 'Ministers?

The natty costumes of the cricket players would, we feel sure, appeal mightily to the average • Canadian girl and wearers of them would be no end popular.. • El El And as for those automobiles, if `they are discarded will the ministers use taxis and charge them to the province? "Mitch"' will have to keep an eye on every little thing if he succeeds in cutting •expenditures fif- ty percent. without cutting down ser- vices. • Lf7 Q . There seems little hope for the.`ma- jority of us. Dr. Marie Goliere Da- venport, world-famous traveller, lin- •-guist and musician, who has turned 109, declares that • true intelligence .comes after one has passed the cen- tury' mark. Still, we shall have to just worry along as best we can un- -tit. then. One comfort is that most o fthose we associate with have not -as yet reached the charmed age either. Hepburn seemis to have some id -i -ens as to certain reforms which will be far the benefit of the ordinary people of the province, and as be has a substantial majority, should be able to carry out his ideas without inter- `ference. Another consideration in 'his favor is that his is an entirely ',new government, with a clean slate, in so far as it is not hampered by .former obligations, It has not been in power for twenty-nf„1ne years, no member of his cabinet, with the ex -ception of Mr. Nixon and he then be, -longed to another political party, has 'ever held office in the Provincial 'Government. It can start fair; make its own policies and carry them out. The country will look to Mr. Hep- burn to give it a clean, economical -and honest administration. And to this end it is up to everybody t0 give ' him a fair chance. aoa "Athletic contests for girls which -are so strenuous that competitors collapse into unconsciousness". re- marks The Mail and Empire;' "are 'hardly the kind in which the average citizen would like to see his daughter engage." That is very true. We have often thought wnen watching girls take part in strenuous physical . contests that it was most unwise to carry it. so far. After all, there is a vast difference between the physical make-up of boys and girls. Boys are built on a sturdier mould than girls. They are much stranger, can take a faster run, a higher jump, and an al- . together more strenuous part in ath- letics without fatigue. But of late years girls have been running a good second, and girls' show greatpowers of endurance if their strength is not overdone, However, it is very doubt, fill if girls should, considering their future health and the importance to the race of preserving it, take part in very strenuous athletics, especially jumping: We are very far from advocating that girls should sit down and sew a fine seam instead of taking part in physical exercise. Reasonable out- door exercise is, excellent for both ) boys and girls. We should teach all children. to swim in early childhood, believing . that this would prevent many a regrettable drowning ...acci dent. We should encourage both boys and girls to engage in outdoor game:, but we should not, encourage girls to compete with boys in those contests which strain the human body to its last ounce of strength. In fact„ we doubt if such contests as marathon swimming and the like are good for either boys Or girls. Physical exer- cise is beneficial only as it serves to strengthen the body; ft fails of this purpose when it reaches the endur- ance test stage, when every ounce of reserve energy is called into play andthe end 'comes only when that is completely exhausted, No modern girl can be expected to sit in the shade and keep her com- plexion spotless, and we doubt if her mother or grandmother 'would have done it but for the hampering dress with which women were then burden- ed. No woman could take part in athletics in a tight corset, high solar, wrist -length sleeves, and with two or three petticoats reaching to her ank, les. It would have been a physical irnpossibility. But the healthy, whole- some' athletic girl of today should mix a sturdyy bit of commonsense with her freedom and not overdo the ekercise stunt. She will be just as happy and will not run the risk of physical injury which may handicap her for life. IE 0 ' The producing of plays seems to have become something of a mania amongst the young people during the past few years. Every young peoples' organization, High School Dramatic Association, every elub or circle, in every town, village or com- munity wants to present a play. And theyproceed to procure something which they think they can manage, select actors to fit the characters to be portrayed and go to work, spend- ing weeks in practice. It is a worthy ambition, as the practice trains the young mindsin memory work; it helps young people to express themselves in public and it brings out any talent which they may possess for speaking or acting. As modern life demands that people be able to express themselves in pub- lic upon occasion, this training is all to the good and may prove very use, ful. One is sometimes surprised at the ability displayed by the young people who take part in these plays. It is not always the one who is thought the most promising who makes the best actor. Sometimes it is one who has been rather diffident and shy,,but who, when personating another character, can forget him- self and take a very creditable part. The whole training in this way is helpful and worthy. But one could wish that a better choice of plays were available to those young people.- The great Ma- jority are of a very mediocre quality. Most of the plays -available to the average gmateur company are pro- duced in the United States; the ma- jority of those given by the young folk in this district have as a back- ground the people of elle New Eng, land States; exhibit an inferior qual- ity of humor and an altogether in- ferior duality of culture, and the English language is murdered in al- most every line.

We are not advocating that Plays should only be written in perfect English or that the characters should always be men and women of cut, ture, some 'of the greatest dramas of the world have been written around the lives of the' commonest of folk; but certainly it would not be difficult to improve upon the quality of the majority of plays available to the young people who wish to indulge in the pastime of amateur acting. Surely there are some writers in Canada who could produce a .few simple Canadian plays, with the East, West or middle provinces as a back- ground. There are the early fur:. trading days; the early days in French Canada, the early days in On- tario's backwoods, if we want pion- eer stuff, -Canada should be -writing her own little dramas. for her own amateur •actors to try their powers upon. Here's a field where some young Canadian writer might make a mark for himself or herself, and at the same time win the approval and gratitude of those who produce and those who listen to amateur plays.
