district attorney was startled out of
all caution.
"Because," said Dr. Cavanaugh, 'the

"\When you saw him—?" The dis-

shreds of formality. "I withdraw
that. When did you see him, doctor?"
"At half past nine 'o'clock on the
'night of March 18 I chanced to look
out 'of my office window and saw

If he told them to render a' verdict
that the moon was made of green
cheese, they'd do it. Clever of 'Gra-
ham, bringing that in about 'The
b2an Who Makes No 14,t'istakes'—they
got it firmly fixed in their minds

"He certainly made the D.A. wish
he was some place else."
"Hello, Peter! You- look as if you
needed t•, drink"
"I do," .Peter agreed morosely, and
slid through the door.
The rows of eludes in the court-
room were deserted. With stray
sheets .of ropy paper avid stubs of
pencils strewing the floor, it had the
disheveled look of a room after 'e
party—that indefinable atmosphere
of a place where things have recently
happened and are no longer happen'.

,Half a dozen eorrespondents sat on
the rail of the jury box, like a line of
birds teetering 011 a fence, chatting
with each other, the photographers,
and the humanized•bailiff. The chairs
behind the lawyer's table were pushed
back, empty. Above the beck of a
chair next 56 the railing which di-
vide(' the room in half, Peter caught

"Well," he said with lveary relief,
-"that's over"
Barbara turned to •him a brooding
face,
"Oh!" she breathe.:', -"do you really
think it is?" •
Peter turned sidewise, resting his
elbows on the arm of the chair, By
leaning. forward just three inches, he
eculd kiss the tip of her err. He

Obediently, almost absent-minded-
ly Barbara took off her glove; but
she smiled up at hint with tremulous
gratitude as her cold fingers relaxed
under the reassuring pressure of Pe-
ter'ss clasp. •
"But that speech of the district at
terney's—it sounded horribly con-
vincing with all that talk of mauves
and opportunity, and the way he kept
emphasizing the threatening• letter
and the attempt to esaape."
"Yes. it was a better argument
than Graham's—tor pocple like you

jury will think the D.A. is a bit of a

behind the door through which the
jury had filed out, the trampling
sound of feet as the courtroom doors
were thrown open, a voice, the eom-

rushing confusion in which he was
somehow rroilened to seat 53 as the
judge took his seat on the bench and
the bailiff banged for order.

PRESENT INDUSTRIAL II:LS
MUST BE CURED BY MARCH-
ING FORWARD — NOT BY
GOING BACKWARD
The Hon. II._ fl. Stevens struck the
nail an the heart when, in the house
of Commons the other day, he said
that the way out of the present de-
pression Iay, not through any spec-
tacular or revolutionary changes,
but by men applying themselves to
their 'daily problems as they arise,
There has been a great deal of non-
sense talked about a new social and
economic system which is to super.
sede capitalism and rcin.ove all its in-
equalities and injustices. The advo-
cates of this social revolution are
delightfully vague. One tiring only
is cic .r. the new order is based on
co-operation insteeed of on compa-
titien—though how they are going to
get co-operation under the new re-
gime any more than at present does
not appear. Apparently it is to be
secured by eliminating all the men
of proved busines's ability, and put-
ting in their place theorists and mei,
Irerites. Bet Canada and the States
cannot well import brains to put the
new system este effect, as has been
done by Russia. 'This high falutin
soeiali'stie talk only does harm. The
present system is to be improved by
evolution. by removing this wealcness
and that injustice; not by revolution,
which would result in chaos, anti set
civilisatirn back a hundred years.
The people of this generation want to
enjoy life again. They are not seek•
ing to smash everything with the id-
ea of slowly and painfully building. a
doubtful utopia out of the ruins.
The critics of the present system
emphasise its weak points, but ignore
what has been and is being accom-
plished to overcome them. There is
already a considerable and growing
amount of state socialism. The Pro-
vince of Ontario spends about two
and a half millions in providing for
loathers left with families whom they
cannot support; another nine or ten
trillions an pensioning those ,who
have reached cold age with'aut provid-
ing for it. Every week inow more
than a. )pillion dollars is being taken
from those who 'lave money, and
given to those who are without it.
The process 'of redieeributing wealth
is going on all . the time through
taxes such as the income tax and the
inheritance tax. Public health. nur-
ses, dental clinics, sanatoria, hospi-
tals and other agencies help these
who cannot afford to care for them,
selves. in these matters.. All this is
in reddition tc the lame sums spent`
by private charity. When, the .pre-
sent "capitalist system is denotineed•
these credits. should not be forgotten.',
That they have not been without their
inflitenee- en the men out, of employ-
pent, is Shawn. by the gomperative

WINGHAM: The firemen were
summoned to the residence of Wim.
Ingram, Carling Terrace, on Friday
morning about 8.30. Fortunately the
blaze ,was confinedto the chimney,
but for a time it looked as though it
might have been burning in the wall
from the amount of smoke which was
belching out. It was not necessary
to connect the hose, so there was no
damage clone by water.
BRUSSELS: When Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. -Meanders returned home from

road on the town, as the 1933 pay-
ment 'of $4,795.45, will be taken care
of out of the sinking fund. There la
about $1,200 of outstanding 1981 tax,
es, and. about $200 'more to Tray of
1930. The tax rate far 1931 was 36

est tax rate in Huron.

Water from the well from which
Evangeline offtinies had recourse to
replenish the household supply was
taken from • that ;historic well at
Grand Pre, Nava Scotia, put into a
brawn jug, and transported to New-

ton steamer, "Acadia," latest addie
tion to the Eastern Steamships Lines
service between New York and Yar-
mouth, Nova Scotia, the ceremony
taking piece at Newport News.
As the jug contained nothing but
water„ and historic water at that, it
was not anticipated that any undue
delay would result in its journey ac-
res the border.
The new liner will be put into
service this summer and will be an
added attraction for United States
tourists to visit the south shore of
