RED TAC; FOR THE RECKLESS
The Ontario Government in despair
over the failure of its laborious ef-
forts to stop the massacre on our
roads should get some help in that
direction. This column. begs to sug-
gest that it offers e1,000 for the most
practical idea which will reduce the
number of deaths and accidents. And
as a. start this column begs to sub-
mit that the best thing to do it to
bring home to the reckless driver
' that he is thought by fellow drivers
to be a menace. That should get un-
der his skin, and make him more care-
ful if anything will. How can this
be done? By making a convicted,
driver wear a red tag attached to his
car when he drives,— Sault Star,

NO TIME FOR SHORT CUTS
Taken as a -whole, the Dominion's
industrial and agricultural condition
must certainly be taken as improv-
ing. This improvement is far from
rapid and doubtless it tests the pa-
tience and steadfastness of the
people, but it is sustained and natural.
Tt should endourago optimism ,and
continued faith in the unspectacular
methods as exemplified in the Brit-
ish recovery program; and it offers
no justification for resorting to rash
experimentalism. Canada is travelling
the hill to prosperity and there is
up
no need for her to take chances by
attempting 'dangerous short cuts.—

DEFENCE OF WEEDS
The Duluth. Herald says a world of
weary tillers of the soil will be only
too glad to believe Dr. Charles Thom,
of the Milted States Department of
Agriculture, who tells an agricultu-
ral meeting in England that weeds
save rich topsoil by preventing eros-
ion and; after death ,enrich the soil
they occupied. This seems part of
the concerted effort by scientists and
some statesmen to conceive inankind
that such old virtues as hard work
and .saving are now vices, because
they are anti -social in causing over-
production. Dr. Thom's cheery mes-
sage will not be so impressive, how-
ever, to those who have seen what
weeds can do to the most promising.

PROCESS OF EVOLUTION
In a changing world, the bus, the
truck and the airplane have come to
the front because man finds them de-
sirable and useful. It is not likely,
therefore, that man will turn back
and cast them aside in order to in-
crease the revenues of the railways.
This fact might as well be accepted
as a starting point. Motor vehicles
and airplanes are part of the evolu-
tionary process. — Regina Leader -

SMALL THINGS THAT COUNT
The humble and diversified needs
of the world's consumers are thus
giving rise to considerable industrial
activity in ane British centre which
has attained celebrity for the produc-
tion of souvenirs and novelties and
similar activity is probably to be not:
ed elsewhere. It is not always the
big, expensive things that lead to the
largest amount of employment. Small
and comparatively valueless articles
are possibly in greater demand, pan-
ticularly in time of financial . string-
ency, and the industrial community
which is able to supply them profits
front the situation. — Brockville Re-

THE EMPIRE
PLAYING THE GAME
"The game for the game's sake,"
was proclaimed by Mr. S. S. Dean,
president of the New -Zealand Rugby
OEnion, when speaking of what really
is the sporting mission of the All
Black team to Great Britain this
year. Because of the friction that has
clouded some international games in
recent years, Mr, Deans reference
to the essence of the thing is timely.
There is no implication that touring
teams from New Zealand in the past
have failed in this respect. Quite
the reverse in the case, but it is well
that the fathers of all games should
take the opportunity to remind play-
ers, particularly the younger arses, prettily and powerfully or.our flowers
workings of field set during
forces in the field.
The huge undertaking of debt con-
version can be accomplished only
after much cooperative effort and
legislative sanction. The definite
trend of times is toward lessening
the burden of carrying charges. This
scheme would develop it on most en-
compassing lines to include all pub-
lic indebtedness—federal, provincial,
municipal and, simultaneously, to
embrace the financially ,embarrassed
home dweller.
While the campaign, which soon
will develop rapidly, is conceded now
to have elements of obscurity, it is
believed that well before the end df
four weeks the situation will be very
much clarified. The prospects will
better be appraised in the light of
the meetings, East and West, the re-
ceptions ,accorded party leaders and
the' response' wbich is indicated. Very
likely, the%camPaign may lose some of
t amiability, and. some persons and
things, sa- far largely ignored, may
come in for some critical attention
with consequences upon the outcome.
So far as the campaign has gone,
it is reported that there is evidence
of less rigidity in ordinary party

The Electric
Shock Hazard
•
In this age of electricity, the latest
hazard added to life on the fame is
electrical shock. The passage of
electrical curreut of considerable.
voltage through a man causes Para-
lysis of the higher nerve centres, en-
tailing the stoppage of breathing.
The failure of the normal tests for
life should not be taken as evidence
of death. Persons have been resuci-
tated biter Scours of effort although
ordinary signs of life were absent.
In cases where the contact was of
short duration and where arta$vial
respiration has been applied with-
out delay there is a better chance of
recovery. Although, in reality, resu-
scitation from electrical shock is a
case for the medical man, or at a
that victory is not everything. --
