The Mounted, Police will investigate,
-th%i "Stitch," an organization amongst
:some of the foreigners- in the west,
to see whether it is• a harmless, non-
political organization such ,as it is
described, or whether it may have the
germ' of future trouble. No doubt
the Government believes in the old
:adage about "a stitch in time."

Alberta has plenty of coal and
wants to sell it to us. If we keep
asking for it long enough we shall
,probably get it, but something seems
to have been standing in the way so
'far. Geologists estimate that Al
Gertz has enough coal to supply Can-
' ada for 40,000 years. It might not
last quite so long if all Canada could
have it's will of it, however, •

Such a fuss as they have made a-
bout 'the first woman to fly across the
.Atlantic. Wonder if a similar to-do
' 'was made over the first woman who

.our humble opinion the latter showed
"the' greater courage, She faced two
unknowns, the chance of a grave in

the unknown dangers and hardships
.of a n_ew land.

The tragedy of the loss of the Ital-

the Ions of life amongst the original
'crew and also amongst those who
bravely attempted rescue, has been
greatly enhanced by the unfortunate

'The weather has , been hot here

casional cool spells to keep us from
melting, but its been nothing to the
heat they've had at Washington D.C.,
where an egg was fried in four min -

snappy. things to say :about Toronto.
He didn't seem to have enjoyed his
visit to that city and complained a-
bout a lot of things, one being that its
down town streets were deserted on
Sunday. But what would induce any-
body to wonder idly,..about Toronto's
down town streets on Sunday? Tor-
onto business people are probably
much like those of any ` other town,
they want to` leave ' their business
places on Sunday, spending that day
at home withlheir families or attend-
ing church. And anyone unfortunate
enough to haye no home and garden
to spend a summer Sunday in would
be very unwise to spend if in the dus-
ty down town section. e' There are
many beautiful parks in which a
pleasant Sunday afternoon might be
spent, either with a book or just en-
joying nature. If the fact that its
down town streets were deserted on
Sunday was the worst charge to be
brought against'Toronto it would have
a pretty clean sheet. But this visitor
had a worse charge—in fact a serious
overcharge. He said a cabman charg-
ed him) four dollars to take his lug-
gage froth the hotel to bre station.
Well, he should not have paid it and
need not have, as such things are
regulated bylaw. But he must have
had a very prosperous appearance or
no cabman would have thought of ask-
ing such a price, they never try to
collect such sums from us when we
visit Toronto. We have a fancy that
the remembrance of that overcharge
rankled in the mind of this.visitor and
prevented his recognizing some of the
very evident beafities and advantages
of Ontario's capital city.
At Windsor they are going to try
to do something to prevent such ex-
hibitions of folly as the five-day danc-
ing marathon recently staged, there.
If people are silly enough toenter
such contests there should be -some
way to prevent thein. The health de-
partment, which refuses to allow -un-
sanitary conditions about one's pri-
vete premises, might take the matter
up and forbid such trials of endur-
ance. "Swimming marathons might
come under` the same ban. A short,.
• swift contest, to determine who can
• get there soonest, is all right. But a
• contest which means the using up of
every bit of reserve energy the human
body possesses, cannot but be injur-
ious to health. -

bel Broughton Billett, author of "Cal-

cessful and widely reviewed novels
in England last year. Mrs. Billett,

of Egmondville, and was been in Iiuron
county. Among a generous number
of most satisfactory reviews which
hailed her book in -the leading Eng-
lish periodicals, Mrs. Billett trees-
ures a cleverly rhymed critique in
,Punch from the pen of Charles L,
Graves,.the oldest member of the lit-
erary staff of that famous journal.
Sd interested. was Mr. Graves in the
force, freshness and drama of the
Canadian woman's book that he fol-
lowed his review with a private letter
of encouragement and appreciation.

band, Frederic ` Broughton Billett,

bit. Mrs. Billett has Spent some time

and poet" she said and a strongly built
Canadian literature evolving but de-
clines to see- the need of the rill -
Canadian theme.: `If a Canadian writ-
er can write real stuff let it be in
whatever setting cornea most readily
and skilfully,” she suggested, Mos.

ing a new novel entitled "In the Pal-
