Ontario has complete control over
its own highways. It has proved this
by action that is most commendable,
in keeping its scenery sacred, to the
tourist. We read they are clean and
well kept and the right of the people
to the enjoyment of the road is recog-
nized as including also the right to.
freedom from the indiscrirahutte and
obnoxious use of advertising signs and
billboards. In. three year's 10,000 ob-
jectionable and unauthorized advertis-
ing signs have been removed from the
highways, says The Ottawa Journal.
We in British Columbia boast about
our scenery. We have a right to, but

Learn to Swim
Swimming is the most universal ac-
complishment in sport. Moreover, it
ds an art that, once learned, is never
forgotten. Those who 'learn thereby
lay up a long store of future pleasures
and ideal exercise and at the same
time provide against one hazard at
least that lies in the way of human
life. Yet many have never attempted
a stroke. Particularly the youngsters
should become water -wise and able
to take care of themselves when be -

THE EMPIRE
Case For the 40 -Hour Week
The general reduction of industrial
woaitihg hours to 40 per week is au
eminently sensible proposal, based on
hard 'et:anemic facts, It is surely fool-
ish to have two men working long
hours and one man idle, instead of
three men working shorter hours and
enjoying more leisure. And, thanks to
the technical improvements, this better
clistributiou of work and leisure can be
secured without any lowering of the
standard of living.—The London Daily
Herald.
Air -Minded India
The new service outlined in the Goer-
ernment of India's recent explanatory
comminque promises to furnish India
with a bold start towards the develop-
ment of one of the best organized and
most convenient air services in the
world. a.It is calculated to give this
country a network of internal air ser-
vices and to provide speedy communi-
cation with other civilized nations east
and west. This will be achieved main-
ly by the use of Indian capital; it will
be worked as far as possible, and more
and more as time goes on, by Indian
personner—The Times of India.
An "Unofficial Conference"
The conference of the delegates of
the nations, comprising the British
Commonwealth, which Mr. N. W. Ro-
well of Canada has convened for next
September in Toronto, is an extension
of the Commonwealth idea, which is
novel and interesting. A "purely un-
official conference," the delegates will
not be men hampered by their position
as members . of the Government of
:their oountry. They will be free to ex-
press their views, There are, it is no-
torious, wide differences of opinion as
to the future of the British Common-
wealth. Even in the Dominions there
are considerable sections of opinion
which feel that their membership of
the Empire coustitutes a drag on their
progress. If the Commonwealth is to
cohere, grow stronger and prosper,
those who hold this view should be
steadily persuaded otherwise, — The

But in the end this great nation will

The Hindu As Student
A splendid record of academic and
other successes by Indian students at
English Universities and Colleges is
covered by the report on the work of
the Education Department of the High
Commissioner's Office in London for
last year, which has just been pub-
lished. Somewhat surprisingly the
economic stress of the times has re-
sulted in no decline in the total num-
ber of Indian students seeking ad-
vanced courses of study in Englan.d,
and the number of admissions to edu-
cational institutions was slightly
greater than in the previous year. The

Two villages, Adikalaporam and

that its name should be used. One was
taken and the station has been rigor-

To Provide That Woman
Upon Marriage Shall Ac-
quire Husband's Nation-
ality and Avoid Be-
coming "Woman
Without a
Country"
London.—Recently the House, of
Lords gave second reading to a bill
which provides that a woman on
marrying shall acquire her husband's
nationality, if her own national laws
deprive her of her own nationality
as a result,
The bill, the "British nationality
and status of aliens' bill," also pro-
vides that naturalization of the hus-
band during marriage shall not ine
Volvo any change of nationality of
the wife without her consent.
Lord Sankey, the Lord Chancellor,
told the peers the main object of the
bill was to safeguard women marry-
ing citizens of the Unqed States
fromlosing their . own nationality
without acquiring that of the United_
States, and thus becoming a woman
without a country.
The bill, he added, included pro-
viedeas .on which it was alone pos-
sible to aecure agreement at the pre-
sent time among many parts of the
empire.
The House of Commons already
has before it a bill, defeated six
times previously, which would re-
store to British women a right they
lost many years ago—that of retsis-
leg their own nationality, if they so
decided, on marriage to a foreigner.
