An Interesting Fossil Area
The Joggins section of Nova Scotia
has been recognized alma the days of
the -great geologists, Logan and Lyell,
as affording the finest example in the
world of fossil Coal Measure forests
with standing trees superimposed one
on another through, some thousanas.of
feet of eeciinients. This remarkable
,aeotion is adequately represented in
Canada's National Museum at Ot-
tawa by a series of upright trunks
with a background of a Carboniferous
landscape and a panoramic view of
the Joggins section. The stuinps with
their great expanse of roots form
what is considered by many familiar
with foreign museums to be the finest
exhibit of its kind in any museum.

Canada Gets Bootleg—Facts
While We Fail
Independent" calls attention to the
Boston, Mass.—An editorial in "The
fact that the Canadian Royal Com-
mission has unearthed staggering
quantities of information on bootleg-
ging processes and personnel.'
Tho editorial . reads: "One by one
the chief traffickers on the border,
Americans and Canadians alike, came
before that body to testify to their
colosal profits and• yield the under-
cover secrets of the trade.
It is simply unbelievable that
American prohibition authorities lack
the informatory leads which the Cana-
dians developed so intelligently.
Otherwise we mifst conclude that the
prohibition servi'ee is manned exclu-
sively by dumb -bells and "grafters.
Canadians are not all Sherlocks—and
Americans are not all yokels. The
logical inference is that the leaders
in the Volstead Act enforcement, know
more :than they appear to on the 'sub-
ject of international bootlegging, and
that they are keeping vital informa-
tion from the public to hide their own
failures in administration.
"Whether one approves or disap-
proves of prohibition, a reading of
the Windsor and Montreal proceed-
ings must disgust him with the inef-
ficiency or venality of enforcement on
the • American side of the border.
Honest prohibitionists—we use -Vie

tionists—ought to join honest non-

mission leaves off. The American wit-

vard, Detroit's uncrowned king of

Not So Easy
Sirs Alan Cobham the famous Bri-
tish airman, has published a state-
ment which shows that Chamberlin's
hope as expressed in interviews in
Berlin of flying to 'America involves`
a bigger task than already accomp-
lished. Discussing in the Daily Mall
the possibility of east to west flights,
Sir Alan attributes the fact that the
Atlantic has not yet been crossed in
a non-stop in that direction owing to
the prevailing wind which is from
America to Europe.
Supposing this wind was only 20
•miles per hour, it means, Sir Alan
says, that an airplane able to cruise
30 miles per hour would have its
speed in one direction increased to
100 miles and in the other, decreased
to 60 miles. Instead of covering_ 3000
miles in 30` hours, it would do, there-
fore, only 1800 or little more than
half. It is thought here to follow
from Sir Alan Cobbam's statement
that if Chamberlin should try a re-
turn nonstop flight with a machine
similar to the Columbia, he would
have to to make it from some such
starting' points as Ireland and New-
foundland, thereby reducing the dis-
tance to be covered.

Only ' six feet of air separate the
plane tram the ground. Moor roaring,
it flirts with the earth. Gracefully,
lazily, it skime closer, throttled. so low
that a fast motor car could out dis-
tance it. It touches—rises again,
wheels shinning from the contact—and
airily circles the field- Now it lands.
Rather, it "sits down." Instead of
bumping for many yards along the
ground, it glides to earth and .stops
within a few feet!
Such was the first public test recent-
ly at. Mitchel Field, N.Y,, of a remark-
able new fighting airplane, the Sea
Hawk, built for the . S. Navy: The
plane's ease of maneuvering at slow
speed, and its hydraulic wheel brakes
indicated, says Popular Science
Monthly, that it could land directly
'upon the deck of an airplane carrier.
Yet when' its' 425 -horsepower motor is
.opened up, •the plane achieves a speed
of 170 melee an hour. The Sea Hawk
Is called the fastest plane in the world
equipped with an air -coaled motor.
Embodied in its construction are a
thrust -back lower wing, enabling the
pilot to see his landing gear; shock
absorbers; staggered wing construc-
tion, and curved upper wing, to avert

can be converted in a few minutes into

Under the cowling are two machine

When these deimande were refused
by Albania, the note continued, the' Jud
goslav Government last week withdrew(
its Legation from Albania and gave the
Albanian Minister in Belgrade just 24
hours to leave the country.
Such action pertinently suggested
that Jugoslavia, after breaking off re
rations with Albania, would, shortly
declare war. The Albanian note to the
League Council last week was there-
fore in the nature of a national alibi,
registered with the League, . so that,
if war breaks out, Dictator Ahmed Bey
Zogu of Albania may disclaim all re-
sponsibility before the world,
Actually Jugos]avia (backed by
France) and Albania (backed by Italy)
have been snapping and snarling at
each other for so long tht if war should
break out between them the r•espcnse-
bility would be mutual.
The League. Council Members, nota-
bly Sir Aust en'.Chamherlain, M. Aris-

mann (respectively foreign ministers
of Britain, France and Germany) had
power last week only to scan the
Albanian note, make it a matter of re-
cord. They then prooeeded with the
humdrum but important routine busi-
ness of the League.

(The Canadian Government have or-

reciprocal 'obligation on the part of
the Dominions. Since many of the
foreign markets ; upon which the
Mother Country formerly relied for
her trade and prosperity; are now
more or loss closed to British enter-
prise, the duty of supplying their
places is all' the more imperative for.
the Dominions. There surely could
be no good reason why, in this in-
stance, the preferences should have
been given to the manufacturers of
the United, States. The Government
chould set a good example in the mat-
