HIGH SPEED SKI-ING, by Peter
Lunn (Reginald Saunders, Toronto),
:1.25, written by so great an author-
ity as the Captain (for the third year
in succession) of the British team, is
one handbook all keen ski -runners
will want to read,. As a matter of
fact, all lovers of the sport should
have a copy. Reasonably priced,
the threshold of American homes handy sized and well printed are
now --will injure the popularity of three factors in it's favor and, to
books. Other unforseen inventions
probably will have the same effect."
Tarkington, who has just return-
. ed with hi wife to their home here,
declared, "there always will be
books, but perhaps the only books
in the future—far away though 1t
may be—will be reference books,
scientific books and research books."
;He explained that the average
novel reader "reads for entertain-
ment, and with a television box in
his home, he will be able to get his
entertainment cheaper."

over two people. On Monday its
driver was fined 10 shillings for . not
having its brakes in efficient working
order. The chairman of the magis-
trates asked, "Are the post office
authorities disclaiming all respon-
sibility?" Counsel for the defence
replied: "Yes. If they had been or
dinary employers they would have
been brought here for permitting
the offence."
The case is a minor example of
the long-standing legal anomaly that
"the King can do no wrong." No
Government department can be
sued 1n the ordinary way for dam-
age it may do to the citizen. ' A
remedy is provided by means of a
"petition of right," and .in grave
cases a Department of State usually
accedes to such a petition and grants
compensation as an act of grace.
"Not much, I think. They've fin-
ished the inquest at last—adjourned
it at least—sine die."
Westcott showed further interest.
"Have they indeed? Then it
looks as if they're after somebody'
or other. They usually do that when
it's so clear that ,the verdict will be
`Wilful Murder' that they don't want
to duplicate the whole thing when
they've made an arrest. If they get
hold of the suspect and try him for
murder the result will• finish both
cases automatically."
"They don't say much, sir, except
that developments are shortly ex-
pected or something like that. But
after all, that doesn't mean very
much."
"I don't know," said Westcott-ser-
iously. "It may mean a great deal."
He filled his pipe slowly, and seem-
ed to be thinking deeply. He was
a curious figure to meet in the wilds
of the African bush. He was quiet
in speech, grave and courteous. He
wore a stiff collar just right: and
he would have seemed just as in
price in a club in St. James's at
home.
"Have another drink—there's lots
of time. And if you're hungry
there's plenty of 'small chop.'''

But many eminent jurists, Lord
Birkenhead and Lord Haldane among
them, have urged that since the
State in modern time sconcerns it-
self more and more with the day-to-
day affairs of the citizen it should
be as readily liable as he, if it in-
flicts damage, to face the conse-
quence in court. As matters stand,
if the citizen has a quarrel with the
income-tax authorities, or has suffer-
ed wrongful imprisonment, or is
seriously injured by an army wagon
or a Royal Air Force 'plan, he can
take proceedings against the appro-
priate Department only by consent
of the Crown; he must pay his own
costs throughout, even .if the case
goes to the House of Lords and is
won there, and he cannot compel the
Crown to produce any documents
that may be relevant to his . claim.
Lord Birkenhead set up 'a Com-
mittee of Inquiry into this stultifi-
cation of justice so long as 15 years
ago. As art outcome of it a bill was
drafted to set the ]natter right. But
no Government has given facilities
for the bill. The Wigancase is a
trifling one, but. it is a reminder that
the reform' to which it calls attention
is long overdue.

Checked camels hair, spicy chev-

Neckties must contrast, not blend,

Canada's Homes
is to be
A study of Canadian homes based
in the last Dominion iensus reveals
that the great majority of Canadian
rural families live in owned homes,
but in urban areas paying tenants
are somewhat more. numerous than
owners. In rural areas 78,83 per
rent. of all homes were owned as
compared with 45.55 per cent. in
urban communities. All households
in the Dominion numbered 2,252,729.
In Canada the six -room house is
more common than any other size,
but it is not typical in all parts of
the country. Nearly 60 per cent. of
Canadian households occupy from
four to seven rooms and almost 20
per cent. live in three rooms or few-
er. Only 3% per cent. live in homes
of more than ten rooms.
In the Martime Provinces, urban
homes, such as in Halifax and Saint
John, centre around six rooms,
while the rural homes are larger on
the average than in any other part
of Canada. Five -room homes are
the most numerous in urban Quebec
but in rural Quebec there is no
definite favor for any special size.
Both rural and urban Ontario homes
characteristically include six rooms,
the outstanding exception being Ot-
tawa, where seven -room houses are
most numerous. Over 60 per cent,
of prairie rural homes contain four
rooms or fewer, while the number of
such homes in Ontario is less than
23 per cent. Four -room homes dom-
inate in both rural and urban areas
of British Columbia. — Renfrew

What Is Unif
rm Living Allowance?
(From the Owen Sound Sun -Times)
A Stratford despatch tells us that
the Relief Committee of the City
Council has gone on record as fav-
oring a resolution from Windsor
calling on the Government to in-
stitute an investigation by compet-
ent persons with a view to estab-
lishing an adequate and uniform
scedule of living allowances for all
persons in receipt of Government
allowances.
That committee, if appointed, is
going to have an interesting time.
It will have two questions to an-
swer. What is a uniform living al-
lowance? Is there such a thing?
First of all, what is a "living al-
lowance" — or a "living wage?"
Opinions differ. One says it is an
allowance or a wage sufficient to
keep the recipient and his family, if
any, in necessary food, clothing and
shelter. Another objects that that is
not enough; that there should be pro-
vision enabling the recipient not only
to support himself and family but to
lay by a reserve against the time
when he quits this mortal existence
or is unable to work (the latter appli-
es to wage; but the principle is the
same).
Then what is "adequate?" And
this introduces the much-discussed
phrase, "standard of living," for
to be adequate, the allowance must
enable the recipient to maintain
his standard of living. Which dif-
fers widely in different countries
and even in different parts of the
sante country. The standard of
living in a small village, where the
inhabitants have to draw water from
wells and carry lanterns when they
go out at night, is necessarily lower
than that in a city with waterworks
and street lights. It costs more to
live in a city than in a village; so
an allowance which in a village might
be adequate is far from it to a city
dweller.
Again, prices in different sections
vary. The money that in a low -
price district would be ample to
feed a large family would in an-
other higher -priced section be hardly
sufficient to buy food for two per-
sons. And we need only mention rent
and taxes which vary quite as wide-
ly as other items in the family
budget.
There is no need to enlarge on
the subject; but we might suggest
that Windsor and Stratford are put-
ting in a large order when they re-
quest a committee to establish a uni-
form and adequate schedule of living
allowances. Such a schedule, to be
adequate in all cases, cannot be uni-
form; if it is made uniform it can-
not be adequate throughout the
country.

Religion and Morals
•
In common with all great prophets
and teachers since the world began
Isaiah was sure that a vital religion
could not be separated from a genuine
arid honest morality. The one true
and accepted sarifice is a good life,
and nothing can possibly be made to
take its place. Men have tried all
sorts of substitutes but tried alto-
gether in vain. That'truth, learned so
long ago, is just as emphatically true
as it ever was.—The New Outlook.
