Political Parties Have Ignored
The Expressed Will of the People
Prohibition Federation of Canada Asserts Two Much Emphasis
Cannot be Laid on Part Played by Liquor Traffic in
Demoralization of Public Life.
4. In a statement issued to
• the press, the' Prohibition
Federation of 'Canada has the
T following to say regarding •
• the part played by the liquor
• traffic in the recently disclos-
• ed irregularities in the Cus-
• toms Department and as to
• the heed for supporting can-
• didates in the forthcoming
• Federal elections pledged to
• promote the cause of prohi-
bition. The statement is sign-
• ed by Oliver Hezzlewooct,
• President; E. I. Hart, Secre-
• tary, and W. W. Peck, Educe-
• tional Secretary.

The issues raised by the revela-
tions during the Customs investiga-
tion at Ottawa play a most •important
Part in the present Dominion elec-
tions- The Prohibition Federation of
Canada, in offering some guidance to
the members of its various units, al-
so appeals to the electorate generally
to assert itself so that the ideals of
Canada's best citizenship may pre-
vail in governmental affairs.
The Federation heartily endorses
the Dominion election manifesto
touching political corruption and
better citizenship, just issued by the
Social Service Council of. Canada,
and would urge that too much em-
phasis cannot be laid upon the part
the liquor traffic has played in the
demoralization of public life recent-
ly disclosed.
There has bean a gratifying de-
mand by the press that the recom-
mendations of the Customs Commit-
tee be entirely carried out, and that
there Hurst be a thorough "clean-up"
of politics. Nothing has done so
much to besmirch government and
degrade public morals as the liquor
traffic. Its responsibility .for the
p Y
scandals that have held Canada up
to the opprobrium of the world is
partially understood. ''
The Federation • approves of part
alreadytaken
c bythe .Commercial
Protective Association,' and urges
that in all parts of Canada a special
effort be made to enlist business in-
terests in the campaign for clean
politics.
This hideous pollution of the pub-
lic service, with its unceasing men-
ace to all phases of our life, is a
warning against permitting any pos-
sibility of further corruption. Elec-
tioneering methods are true indica-
tion of the extent to which "politics"
are healthy or diseased. It is not
denied that distillers have improperly
contributed to campaign funds.
Candidates 'of all parties should bo
asked to declare their attitude to-
ward this raalignant influence,
+ In the past political parties have
not obeyed the plainly expressed will
+ of the people for temperance legisla-
• tion. Little has been heard of this
• in Parliament during recent years on
• such questions of the provinces to
• have their liquor laws respected by
• the Dominion Government, particul-
• arly with regard to smuggling and
3 bootlegging along the international
• border.
We believe that in provinces
• where the liquor traffic has been out-
• Iawed public opinion demands that
:•; the Dominion Government co-operate
' in preventing the manufacture of in-
toxicating liquor within their borders,
• by refusing to issue licenses to brew-
'
*We urge that voters in sympathy
with our aim, attend the conventions
(1; of the several political parties, state
their convictions, and assist in the
nomination' of suitable candidates.
Wq strongly appeal to the women of
Canada, who- constitute'
o ve .t fifty par
cent. of the electorate, to exert their
influence and exercise their franch-
ise. This is the hour of their cippor-

cries and distilleries, ' Parliamentary

pledged to promMet, to their utmost
this policy.
Even a casual study of the scien-
tific aspects of the use of alcohol
convinces the open-minded citizen
that just as it is necess any to elim-
inate the degrading influence of
alcohol from the body politic, it is
equally necessary in the interests
of individual efficiency, commercial
prosperity and the best progress of
the nation, that the personal and
social habits of all our people be
freed from this Most destructive evil
of all time,
Because the advance of temper-
ance has been the most constructive
force in Canadian social progress
and the liquor traffic has proved
itself to be anti -social, eve believe
that the domination of the trafilie in
intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes demands the immediate at-
tention and action of the people of
Canada. -
FOR DAINTY THINGS
When stitching very thin material'
such as chiffons or nets, where there
is a tendency d nc to pull an pucker,lay
d
a piece of paper under the material,
and stitch through that as well. It
will keep the material flat and can be
removed easily by tearing it away.
DECORATED SKIRTS
The tierced nd ruffled skirt gains
in favor daily. For evening there
are many attractive lace frocks, the
skirts composed entirely of lace ruf-
des.
CORRECT SEASONING
In stowing add water from time to
time so as to keep the meat covered.
If the broth is too watery, it can be
boiled down afterward before it is

THE BRUSSELS POST
ENGLISH CHANNEL TI'NXI:L.
Project of a Tunnel Under the Clete.
nal is Revived,
The opening of new coalfields In
southeast tient, Itiehieell, has revived
the project at a tunnel under the
.English Channel. That the idea is
not a new ung most people are aware,
but few realize the great amount. of
nought that has been glv: n to the
plan, utiginally conceived more than
a hundred yours ago.
The drat person to propose the
tunnel was a Freilell engineer named
Mathieu, Anutleer Pr. -nehmen, de
Mottruy, suggested r'ulnaerging It
series of iron tubes, au idea also put
forward by Theme de Caiuond, tubo
managed to excite a good deal of in-
terest in It. HP alae evolved plans
for linking England and Prance by
means of eteatn ferries various kinds
of bridge, and a tunnel proper, his
scheme for the last-named having the
support of the French Emperor.
In the fifties tend sietles cross -
Channel projects sprang up like
mushrooms. Page, g e, the builder of
Westininster Bridge, bit on -the idea
of building eight stool shafts at in-
tervals across the Straits and con-
necting them by long tubes.
Zerah Colburn, a noted engineer,
proposed building an iron tunnel In
1,000 feet sections and sinking them
in the Channel; while a plan to build
a great girder bridge, supported by
giant concrete pillars, over which a
specially devised carriage was to run,
received considerable attention.
Only thirty years ago a Channel
bridge of colossal dimensions tickled
the public fancy. It was to cost
$160,000,000, and a company was
actually formed to carry out the
proposal.
Still more startling was an idea for
building two immense chutes, one on
each side of the Straits, by moans of
which passengers could be speedily
projected from one country to the
other:
NAMES OP CLOTH.
•
London Tailor Wrongly Deciphered
"Twirl" as "Tweed."
When you order a new suit of
tweed it is unlikely that either you
or your tailor will be reminded that
the name was accidentally bestowed
on this particular kind of cloth. Most
people are under the Impression that
it derives its name from the weal -
known Scottish river.
The assumption is a natural one,
but it is not supported by tradition.
Years ago certain districts bordering
the Tweed were noted for the. p}'o-
duction of a woollen cloth with a
twill or twirl surface. A consign-
ment of the fabric was despatched to
a London firm of merchants who
wrongly deciphered the word "twirl"
as tweed, and tweed it has laden ever
since.
Corduroyis a name of very ancient
lineage. Nowadays worn largely by
gamekeepers, the material was once
known as the cord-du-roi, ur cord of
the Bing. In the time of the Bour-
bons this ribbed velveteen was used
as a special mark • of distinction for
the royal huntsmen of France.
Khaki is really a color anti not a
material, although the name is now
given to a familiar army cloth; it is
a Hindu word meaning dusty or dirty.
Cloth of this color was • first worn by
British troops at the time of the In-
dian Mutiny, Melton cloth was so
named because the manufacturer,
who had been asked to make a rough,
unfinished material, cleemecit it un-
wise to invoice it as such, so he dub-
bed it Melton, the name being sug-
gested by Melton Mowbray, ..where
lived the tailor who first ordered this
material.
SEA VAMPIRES,
-Fish Atwell hThemselves to and Live
Upon,Other C'reatu es:
It is interesting, to note how many
examples the sea affords of creatures
attaching themselves to, and living
upon, other creatures. The ancients
were terrified of the remora, or suck -
s8 fish, high they belteved to be
uw
capable of stopping a ship. But see-
ing that the remora is only about
the size of a small herring, clog-
ging

what exaggerated. Still, there is
quite a number of fish of this de-
scription, each provided with a sucker
at the back of its bead, and by means
of this sucker the remora attaches
itself to other larger fish and Is car-
ried through the seas without the
tremble of swimming. The lamprey is

ally kills mules and, other larger
animals.

A submarine, now under construc-

For nearly three—quarter. of a cen-
tury the mill has served the farmers
and to -day is still travelling on its
course, unmindful of the vast ;teller
of modern man. For 74 years, to be
exact, the owner has operated the

when the river is at low ebb and not
sufficiently high to turn the plant

mills may have more costly precaut-
ions to prevent accidents, the novel
methods used at this old mill are
equally as successful. First, there
are giase windows built in the grain

to see from all parts of the plant

fire protection that insures at all

with barrels of water kept handy

the place. Many bushels of grain arc
stored annually in the mill.

Not all the owner's activities are
confined to the milling business, for,
in addition, he runs a sawmill for
which the farmers are mighty glad.
Only recently he finished sawing 50,-

RETARD THE SPARK
To prevent the starting motor
from becoming stuck, retard the
spark as much as possible when
starting. This will prevent a sudden
start of the motor, with the usual re-
sult of a broken or knicked tooth on
the flywheel gear.
SF ARK PLUG GAPS
cif the engine misses when idling or
on a light pull, it is an indication
that the gaps at the spark plugs
should be wider. Missing at high
speed or when pulling hard usually
indicates that the, spark plug gaps
need to be narrower,
USE YOUR HEAD!
Motorists should use their heads as
well as their hands and feet in oper-
ating cars at dusk or twilight, when
there is neither enough daylight, nor
sufficient artificial light to make ob-
jects distinguishable at ordinary dis-
tances.
CARBON
.A pounding noise in the engine is
frequently caused by carbon deposit,
which cakes on the top of the pistons
or on the walls of the combustion
chamber. When the engine is hot,
small particles of the carbon become
red hot, causing pre-ignition of the
WHEN MOVING THE BATTERY
In taking the battery out of the
car, or putting it back, care should
be taken to keep it in a vertical posi-
tion. Some sediment niay be in the
bottom of the jars, and tipping them
may cause this sediment to get be-
tween the plates, and so short-circuit
them.
