Desig er'S Advice To the Over -weight "A NATIONAL SHAME" A movement is afoot to persuade the Government to provide more ade- quate quarters for the National Gal- lery in. Ottawa, The Herald is heart- ily in accord with this movement. Although it does not seen to be widely recognized, the collection of pictures on show in the present Nat- ional Gallery building is excellent and highly representative of the Eu- ropean and North American schools, ancient and modern. There is, also, a striking array of Canadian paint- ings, an array which removes any doubts concerning the existence of a truly characteristic Canadian school. But there are, also, statuary, pic- tures and other works of art stow- ed away in vaults, because there is no room for their display.

THE EMPIRE A LINK WITH THE PAST Among the many distinguished forbears of the Duchess of Glouces- ter is one whose name should be known wherever Scottish songs are sung. Yet, how many of the count- less numbers who are familiar with "Annie Laurie" remember that the writer of the song as we know it now was Lady John Scott, a great -grand - ant of the Duke of Gloucester's wife, This song -writer, who lived until the first year of this century, was Miss Alicia Spottiswoode of Spottis- woode, in Berwickshire, and her mar- riage to the only surviving brother of the. fifth Duke of Buccleugh took place in 1836. She was a patriotic Scotswoman, and once declared, "I would rather live in a pigsty in Scot- land than a palace in England." She made a wonderful collection of old Scottish songs for her brother-in-law, the Duke of Buccleuch.— Glasgow Herald, SCOTLAND YARD TEACHES Scotland Yard is teaching the world how to go about its police work.

Not all broken, by any means, as milk bottles are used for a multitude of puruoses not intended when tine bottles are Ieft at the householder's door in the dusk of morning. Writing on this subject of small wastes that grow to be large ones the Kingston Whig -Standard has this to say: From the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture comes a re- minder of the large cost of careless- ness in small matters on the part of many people. Its bureau of dairy in- dustry, which has been watching milk bottles for some time, has given out figures that prove • the an- nual loss in the United States from broken or misplaced bottles at close to $8,000,000. That is what milk bot- tle carelessness costs .in the United States. The chances are the loss in Canada is proportionate, or nearly so. The figure is suggestive of our thoughtless wastefulness on this continent by our small regard for Mottle things. It's only a broken milk bottle! Never mind, the dairy /urn Blies them.! Trow many articles in :i21 . does not, however, feel that these materials should be adopted indis- criminately by the average woman. "I know what temptation it is to try a new and rich material," she says, "with designers'; offering each year a dazzling line-up of unusual woolens and silks. But the womaii.- who is overweight must watch her fabrics as closely as her diet. Three, yards of rhinestone cloth on the wrong figure can wreck a girl's smartness reputation overnight.

Indulgence Bad For Crippled Child Smiles Down Needs "Intelligent Encourage- ment," Dr. Keith Main- tains. — Handicaps Over- come. Toronto.—Apathy and indulgence' are the enemies of crippled children, and "intelligent, resourceful and sustained encouragement," their greatest friends, Dr. William Keith of the Hospital for Sick Children, told the fifth annual convention of the Canadian Association of Occu- pational Therapy here recently. In co-operation with Miss Jean Hemp - son of" the`•Wellesley School for Crippled Children, he showed mo- tion pictures describing results achieved at the school by occupa- tional therapy. "0 has only to see the retro- ne gression that too often takes place when the school is closed in the Summer months to realize the dan- ger of over -indulgence ,by parents," he remarked. . Occupational therapy is playing an invaluable,, part not only in the remedial field but in adjusting chil- dren to society he sale. As examples of success achieved by children in overcoming handi- caps, Miss Hampson showed work of pupils that had taken first prizes in competition with the work of nor- mal children. One article was a dress, trimmed elaborately with binding, made by a little girl, para- lyzed below the waist, who operat- ed a treadle of her sewing machine by her crutch. Another was a home spun scarf made by a -boy on a Ioom. which was used to .straighten out his flexed wrists and to limber his shoulders. Another little girl, 10 years old, whose right arm is paralyzea, em- broidered a towel that. took first prize in a section of the C.N..E. for 16, years and older. "We have a little girl who wears, a brace on a leg, but who can swim a mile and a half," said Miss Hemp - so. "The other day one of our boys went to the dentist. The dentist asked him how he broke his tooth off, and the lad said, `playing foot- ball.' 1 can imagine the surprise of the dentist for this boy walks with two braces and a pair of crutches.

That is what Hon. Charles Dunning, Minister of Finance, said when he announced the Dominion loan of $75,000,000 had been over- subscribed. He secured money at low interest, 2-15 per cent. on short term, and 3.08 for long-term money. Mr. Dunning is not the first Min- ister of Finance to make use of that phrase about the people show- ing confidence in the Country by pur- chasing its bonds. It has been said many times before. Probably it does show confidence, but it also shows a desire for sec- urity. People know they are elimin ating risk when they buy govern- ment bonds; they are taking a low interest rate but they are safeguard- ing their capital. That desire for safety is probably a greater factor in. the situation than any desire on the part of the people to show confi- dence in their country. I1 would be better for the country if we had arrived at the stage where, people would once again take their, surplus money and put it out to dog a day's work. That is actually the ng. sort of confidence we need right` nog'.
