When spoken to about it they were insolent, and protests to to their parents only brought the re- tort "Children are children and they must play somewhere". How can one live peaceably with neighbors like that?" Wen, of course, I realize that there are good neighbors and bad neigh. hors. There are some folks who have no consideration for the other tel - low. They seem to deliberately make themselves disagreeable and it ser.. tainly is not pleasant to be around where they are. The quietest way is usually the best way with such folks. My correspondent does not say whether he has any children, but I fancy he has not. May I remind him that parents are often a bit touchy regarding their own children and, while they themselves may find fault with them, they do not like to have others criticising them. Peraiaps that accounts for the retort with which his protests are met. I believe he could accomplish more thrpugh dealing directly with the children and leaving their parents alone. Of course, in order to get the best response from children it is ne- cessary to understand children. Any- one who does understand children knows that they will always respond to the touch of kindliness. I think if I were in my correspondent's posi- tion, I would make it my business to win the friendship of those trouble- some children. I would try to spend some time working in my garden (when those chilldren were playng. I would get into conversation with thein and try to get then! to see how a nice frontage to a house helps to make the neighborhood look nice. I would even go so far as to suggest that it would be nice if they would make a little garden in front of their own house, and I would offer to help them and to give them seeds or plants with which to start it. In this we,y, I would try tb win their coop - v •atesn and that would be better than incurring their enmity. Of , course this method may call for a great deal of patience, but rightly adopted it will work in time and, who knows, but the friendship and undy- ing gratitude of the parents miglit be won as well as the cooperation of the children?

"But you see Mr. Har- side of the table looked away—any- ris—and Mr. Taunton will bear me out—we're used to this sort of thing.

This as' a source of informa- tion appeared to be ineffective. He cocked his head sideways and look- ed up at the faded portrait of Queen Victoria which hung, dusty and slightly askew, on the dingy wall be- tween windows provided with dirty corrugated mirror reflectors, which' were singularly useless at infroduc- ing extra light from above into the murky room. He stared at the pic- ture for a moment .or two.

"And that's about all I'm likely to remember if I sit here till Christmas —and that's a fact." Tom Harris sat up again in his chair.

S.,—The theory that too much education had been one cause of the depression was termed "false" and "stupid" by Dr. A, M. Tory, former president of the Nation- al 'Research Council of Canada, in receiving an honorary degree of Doc- tor in civil law from Acadia Univers- ty here at a , special founder's day convocation. "As people rise 10 intelligence," he said, "so rises the state." Ile delcared modern science has created far more jobs than it had destroyed and the very future of Canada lies in the hands of the educated men. Dr. Tory was born in Guysboro, N. his art S., and receivedearly education there. Graduating from McGill Uni- versity, Montreal, in 1890 with a gold medal in mathematics and physics, he continued his studies and helped or- ganize the University of Alberta, be- coming its first president in 1908 and holding that position for a quarter- century. Export of Asbestos OTTAWA,—The export of asbestos in September was 9,191 tons, valued at 1;506,027, compared with 7,906 tons at 34444,593 a year ago. The export to the United States was 4,730 tons and to Belgium 2,076, The export of asbestos sand and waste was 10,913 tons at $164,934, compared with 6,- 943 tons at $100,051 last year. Most of this export went to the United States.

A thin, skimpy fire not only burns up too fast, goes out more easily, and causes many- un- necessary trips to the cellar, but it also wastes fuel. For the most economical operation,. always put on enough fuel to keep the fire -bed level with the bottom of the fire -door. In mild weather you can leave a little heavier accumulation of ash on the grate. The fire will then burn very slowly, yet •there will be suffi- cient fuel in the process of burning to provide ample heat in case of a Deep Ore, level Shallow fire. with bottom of Wadeful end, fire door annoying sudden drop in the outside temper- ature. And remember, whenever you put on fresh coal, always leave an exposed spot of live coal directly in front of the fire -door to act as a pilot light to ignite the gasses aris- ing from the fresh coal.

"Pain" Remedy You Take Is Safe. Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's 7"eII"'=mBelrlg to" uti chov --'' Preparations BEFORE you take any prepara- tion you don't know .all about, • for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it —in comparison with "Aspirin." We say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin,"most so- called "pain" remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have -taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains ... and safe for the average person to take regularly. "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada. "Aspirin" is the registered trade -nark of the Bayer Company, Lirnited. Look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every tablet.
