What Next'?
After reading the debt cancella-
tion
ancellertion acts recently passed by the Al-
berta Legislature, the people of Can-
ada,
anada, as well as the people of other
countries, who have money invested
here, are wondering what will hap-
pen next. What amazing election
promise—if you don't like to call it
a bribewill the Social Credit Gov-
ernment of that Western Province
spring upon a long suffering world.
It was thought long ago that Al-
berta legislation had already exceed-
ed world ideas of right and reason-
ableness, but, apparently, that opin-
ion is very wide of the mark, as the
recent legislation goes to prove.
By the Securities Tax Act, a tax of
two per cent. is 'imposed imposed on every
mortgage heldby an individual,- a
company and even on those held by
the Dominion Government. Whether
or not any interest has been paid,
ills tax is payable on. the first of pp
,Art And it. maser X�
Ne remem-
bered, is paid by the individual or
company that put up the money and
not by the people who borrowed it.
• In case of non-payment by that
date, a penalty of five per cent. per
month, or sixty per cent. a year, is -
imposed. In addition, mortgage
holders are compelled to file an in-
tricate form giving particulars of all
~mortgages which must be in the
Government's hands by the first of
June. Otherwise a penalty of ten
dollars, or $3650 per year, will be
imposed, regardless of the face va-
lue of the mortgage.
Filing such returns by company or
individuals outside the. Province will
prove an utter impossibility in the
time given, and the Government
knows it. But the Government wants
the money regardless of all other
considerations. And there is no re-
course to the courts on the part of
the holders of mortgages. The Gov-
ernment has seen to that too
And then there is the Home Own-
ers' Security Act. By it foreclosure
is absolutely prevented on any occu-
pied farm home or upon the 160 ac-
res upon which the farm home is sit-
uated.
The same Act further provides
that no owner occupied property in
village, town or city, can be foreclos-
ed unless the person or company who
lent the money and holds the mort-
gage, first deposits $2,000 into court.
Then, if the court grants the fore-
closure order,- the home owner walks
off with the $2,000.
All this means that all Alberta,
farm homes, as well as urban homes
Which were the security for money
borrowed on them, will cease to be
security. That every farmer in the
Province will be in a position to stop'
• all payments of interest, and at the
same time be immune from foreclos-
ure. That a man who holds a mo„rt-'
gage on urban property, whether he
has ever received a cent of interest
or not, can only obtain possession of
that property by giving an additional
$2,000 to the amount already owing,
and making a present of the whole
to the man who walks out. •
It seems to b& an incredible situa-
tion. But,, nevertheless, it will prove
to be a fact, unless the Dominion
Government steps in and disallows
this 'legislation. And if the Domin-
ion Government does disallow it,
what then?
Why', then Mr. Aberhart will tell
followers ---and he .is a g rod teller

For A Safe Holiday
Ontario's Minister of 'Highways,
Hon. T. B. McQuesten, has issued an
appeal for a "Safe and Sane" May
24th holiday week -end.
That is ani' appeal which touches
very nearly thousands upon ni ou-
sands of Ontario residents and
which will' show marvellous
if even just a little more than cas, ;'1
thought and attention were given to
it.
Mr. McQuesten has outlined eight
simple rules. which he asks the holi-
day motorists to remember, and he
is not asking too much. A little at-
tention to them may prevent you
from being the victim of a serious or
fatal highway accident. Remember
that the other fellow has had a good
many turns. .It• may be your turn
next.
These are the rules: Drive at a
safe speed; keep to the right; never
pass on a hill- or curve or when the
view is obstructed; do not park on
the highway; signal in plenty of time
before making turns; observe all
road signsand signals; be sure of
the safe, driving condition of your
automobile; don't drive if, you drink.
Every motorist knows these rules
by heart now. Why not practise
them?

Going Up
A steady increase in the price of
beef cattle is reported on all mar-
kets throughout the Province dur-
ing the past week or two. And what
is still better, from the farmer's
standpoint, the increase • is said like-
ly to continue for some time to come.
With the exception of a very short
time last fall, cattle and cattle prices
have been the farmer's nightmare,
and it has been a long nightmare too.
Thousands of Western cattle were
brought down to Ontario last fall
and if beef prices hold or continue to
rise, the Ontario farmer might make
a little money for a change. For
some years past he was lucky to
break even, and there were very few
lucky ones.
With good pasture and rising
prices, not to mention good crop
prospects, the farmer's outlook is
improving, which is a mighty good
thing for the general public, as well
as for the farmer.
After all is said and done, t'he mat-
ter boils down to this: True 'pros-
perity for the people of Ontario has
got to come from the land. The
farmer is the only man who can
break the depression, and if this
year he starts to make a little money
and continues the process for an-
other year or two, then, and not till
then, we can safely say that the de-
pression is over, and be able to look
forward to good times again_

cious that Mrs. Phil, with an unlndus--

way out of having a/1 the work.
I reclined in ease during the first
day, and having bribed' a nurse into
bringing my old briars' in, decided to
befoul the atmosptheie with the es-
sence of tobacco smote. After three
hours of smoking, my pipe gave me
a sore tongue. I then perused the
newspaper from back to back, and all.
advertisements . . . and alto the so-
ciety pages.
After that I started watching the
clock, and relishing the idea of a big
meal. The hands crept around with
maddening slowness. At last the time
came and the nurse came in with a
tray covenel over by a great white
cloth. Certainly, there must be a
marvel of cooking under that cloth
and my mouth begins to water
at the prospect. It takes her an eter-
nity of time to set the tray up acetosa
my beds, and then when she does un-
veil the tray, it discloses nothing
more appetizing than. a bowl of weak
soup, a few biscuits and a glass of
watery Orange juice. I was so eon -
founded angry that I let go with a
few choice adjectives that were to say
the least, highly d'escriptiee. And the
nurse spoke in such a soothing, sweet
way with a smile that would do jus-
tice'to an advertisement for gum.
Supper over, I 'braved having an-
other sore tongue and brought out
the pipe once more.
The smoke over I set down the
pipe and decided to sleep. But some -
hoe' sleep didn't , come so easily. Af-

•French Pionereed
. Synthetic Diamonds Studyf Gemsicat- •
Close on the heels of reports from
various centers of world gem sales,
that the recession hats been reflected
in a lessened ability of the people to
buy diamonds, comes information,
through a report read before a meet-
ing cf the American Chemical Socie-
ty, ti t a measure of success has been
achieved in the manufacture of syn-
thetic .d4amonds.
It will be a long time before the
activ'ties still ander way in labora-
torie- present any serious commercial
possibilities. But the fact that chem-
ists Lave succeeded in making syn-
thetic diamonds of fine quality once
again draws back the curtains on the
dramatic experiences of M. Henri
Moissan, a professor in the Paris
School of -Pharmacy, and another
physicist identified with less exacti-
tude, as "the resourceful Parisian
dreamer, August Verneuil." '
It was Professor Moissan's aspira-
tion to be able to make diamonds.
"Never mind Kimberley; and the Gol-
conda," he cried, full of faith in his
own ability plus his bent in the direc-
tion of logic; "I'll make PAM'
onus—out of graphite out 'of the
lead you use in your pencils."
"Forget the mines of Ceylon," add-
ed) M. Verneuil, who was interested
in sapphires and rubies. "I'll make
you sapphires and rubies—out of ox-
ide of alumina—er, if you wish me
to speak plainly, out of mud'."
mhey were young men then. This
was before 1890. They were convinc-
ed they had, only to reduce to crys-
tals two common substances—graphite
and mud—and they would be able to
produce such stones as would become
legendary. So they began the task
of trying to discover the immemorial
secret of how to transmute something
base into something sublime.
Professor Moissan at firet dissolved
carbon by melting iron around it, on
the theorythat, to get crystals, one
dlseoivea a substance, and mets the
;Solvent evaporate. But when he
broke the iron away he found!—not
crystals, but a curious, coarse carbon.
Finally he tried another tack. Ile
burned sugar and got pure carbon,
and this he melted with iron. He put
the mass into his oven, and pushed
the heat up to 4,000 degrees. The ir-
on melted; it steamed like water boil-
ed in a pot; the furnace, which was
built of limestone, began to melt ;
sparks shot out from the crucible.
He fIMied out the molten MASS and
plunged it into, arks water.. The. shell

of iron tightened on the kernel, ex-
erting a prodigious pressure. Th'e pro-
fessor's hopes revived. Cautiously' he
worked the shell of iron away until
he got down at last to the kernel—
and there it lay a bit of crystallized
carbons --gleaming like a white Star—
a diamond, counterpart worthy to be
compared with a stone which mine
slaves might toil for months to find
in the blue gravel of South Africa.
That was in 1894. Here was a man-
made diamond: But it had drawbacks.
It was but a fiftieth of an inch across.
It has cost mere than any mined
stone had ever cost, to produce. And
it was not a job whose processes of
completion mould readily be taught t
anyone else,
Meanwhile, M. Verneul•1 had fared
somewhat better. He knew that the
fist man-made ruby had been pro-
duced in 1837 by a man aimed Gau-
din. It was just a little ruby, hard-
ly big enough to see with the naked
eye. In 1877 others' had been made
by M. E. Fremy, and M. C. Fell, but
they were tiny too, and of no value
for commercial purposes.
But M. Verneuil stoked his fires
nevertheless. For 10 years he kept
them hot, trying to make sapphires
and rubies which; chemically, resem-
ble each other exactly. For a long
v, bile the only thing he produced was
lumps' of some substance which glis-
tened little more than a clinker from
a cold furnace.
But then he began to have some lit-
tle success' and the great gem house
of Heiler & Son heard, of him and A.
A. Heller sent for him, asking him
to come and see him -
"I would like, you to see if yd,µ can
make some sapphires and rubies1 that
can be sold," said M. Heller, and M.
Verneuil finally consented to attempt
the task.
In 1910 Verneuil reached his objec-
tive, a process of making sapphires
and rubies which has been changed
only in details of technique. It was
never to become an easy protest,
this turning oxide of alumina into
sapphires and rubies which can be re-
cognized as synthetic , because they
are more "perfect" than genuine
stones.
Only seetthetic sapphires. and rubies
are produced in commrercial quanta.

ed "reconstructed~' gems, produced in
