Interoceanic Possibilities
It is believed that the Interocoe,.nie
R.ailrxtd of Honduras offers the
cheapest and most expoditieus method
of carrying traffic between the two
oceans especially as regards United
States traffic, and as a dependable
al•ternative to the canals, either as
their anxitiary or competitor. Heavy
passenger ani cargo beats could dis-
charge their loads at Puerto Cortes
and at once return to their ports of

Forgtten Jews
Colony in Abyssinia Reported
Dwelling in Isolation
One of the most interesting ethnol-
ogical expeditions that have been
planned for many a day is, that which
is going 'off the map" in the wilds of
Abyssinia, to investigate the Pala -
sites or Black Jews, large numbers of
Whom are reported to be dwelling in

in the London Daily Mail
Americans are supplying the main
part of the capital and undertaking
the 1eladership, but some Palestinian
Zionists are co-operating and British
Jewry has been invited to send learn-
ed ropresetatives to join the party.
Queer things have happened to
Icolony than one straggling g of
The Chosen People when it got ent off
from its base.
Do you know, for instance, about
the 300 Chinese Jews, herded togeth-
er at the city of Kai-feng-fu, in He-
nan province, sadly contemplating the
ruins of their synagogue,, _and carry-
ing on, by word' of mouth, the teach-
ings of their last rabbi, who died 80
years ago? They are very poor and
dejected. None of their wealthy f el -
low communities elsewhere in the
world lends their a hand, nor aloes any
museum or archeological institution
take stepe to preserve what remains,
and records are still to be found there.
The British Museum, at all events,
knows about them, for it has a num-
ber of Hebrew manuscripts from Kai
feng-fu, and there are some, I believe,
in the Bodleian Library.
How the Black Jews happened to
get cut off in a remote part of Abys-
sinia has stillto be ascertained. The
origin of the Ghinvpo Jews is ]crown;
they themselves have commemorated
it. They were camp followers of a
Persian ]ting who was driven out of
Ms country and energetically pur-
sued by the armies of the Caliph Oth-
man, 1,800 years ago. They lost their
way and failed to keep in touch with.
what was left of the Persian army
when it ventured to go home. There
is to -day a stone in the ruined syna-
gogue that records the construction
of the first place of worship in 1163,
and its rebuilding about 355 years
ago.
It would be a matter for keen re-
gret if this extraordinarily interest-
ing, and diminishing, group of mar-
ooned representatives of an ancent
civilization were allowed, through
sheer ignorance and •apathy, to dis-
appear without any steps being taken•
to make a thorough investigation of
their relics' and recollections.
It is only by labor that thought can
be made healthy, and only by thought

The Modernized Motorcycle
Tho "modernized motorcycle" is the
description given the 1628 Harley-
Davidson, by Walter Andrews, Toron-
to, Ont., agent for that line of motor-
cycles. In pointing out the many
new features on the 1928 models, Mr,
Andrews is particularly enthusiastic
about the fore -wheel brake, which is
of the internal expanding type. This
additional breaking surface when
used in conjunction with the present
rear -wheel brake, affords the ultimate
in safety for all road and trefilc con-
ditions. Another improvement of
importance is the all -speed oiler
which is controlled from the throttle.
As the speed is increased through
opening the throttle, the oil pump is
caused to feed more oil to the motor,
The 1928 models are On display at
Walter Andrews, Ltd., 346 Yonge St„
Toronto, and should be seen when

Guard the Child
Fear, Makes Liars of Us All
Says Lane
That most of the lies of childhood
are based on fear of tho parent is a
statement made by Winthrop D. Lane
i nthe September issue of "The De-
lineator Magazine" that will startle
many grown-ups who have been in the
habit of leying their young son's
"tales" to pure cusetiness.
Pointing out that parents often
frighten—even if inadvertently -their
children into lying, Mr. Lane con-
tinues: "rear of parents is one of the
most distressing'fears of childhood.
Why Should the child be afraid of his
parents? The parents' anger, the par-
ent's punishment—perhaps just the
parents' mild disapproval—hangs over
him like a cloud, When a parent dis-
covers that his child is afraid of him,
he ought to do almost anything to re-
move the fear and establish a better
relationship."
According to Mr, Lane, children will
also lie from fear of being teased,
from fear of ridicule, from fear of be-
ing thought incompetent antra booby.
—almost any fear will produce a lie.
Occasionally children lie in order to
escape comparison with others. They
even lie from fear of giving offense,
a sort of "lie of convenience" of child-
hood. Again, a lie can be a form of
'wish fulfilment.' We say things are
true which we would like to have true,
or would make true if we could.
Adults often tell liesof this character,
and children frequently frequently ilo.
"Wily do we object to children's,ly-
ing?" asks Mr. Lane. "The 'reason
ought to be, I think, that lying makes
life with other people entirely unde-
pendable. This reason, I am aware,
is not the one usually given to child --
ren. We tell children all sorts of
things, We say: 'Lying is bad. We
say: 'You will bo happier when you -
tell the truth.' Perhaps we mention
the ninth commandment—and then:
try to tall the child what it means,
"I are not sure just how much all
of this rings true .with .children. To
be happy simply because You have
told the• truth, and then had allsorts
of trouble as a result of telling it, is
a strange sort of happiness to 11im.
He would rather lie and get out of the
difficulty, The method of those par-
ents who tell their children that lying
is not liked, that lying makes them
unpopular, ie to be preferred, This,
at least, is based on true emotional
response; people do not like a liar so
well."

Women Settlers
London Times (Ind,)=(Women are
occasionally deterred from settlement
in the Dominions by the fact that they
are invited by Dominion polices to
undertake work as. domestic servants
or housebold workers). There is a
natural commonsense feelingagainst
crossing the world to •,scrub floors.
(But) the truth is that that
homely phrase "household workers"
denotes what is the beginning and not
the end of the career overseas. Be-
hind its drab suggestion lies a new
world offering almost boundless. scope.
It is, so to say, the way for the assist-
ed settler to matriculate into the life
of the Dominions, It is the field in
which she gives her proofs' that she
can make a sound contribution to the
common life of her new ,country. We
can understand what seems at times
the over -exacting: attitude of DominI-
on officials when we remember that
they are taking to their country the
future mothers of their people. -
