XTH SENSE' REALITY OR
IMAGINATION
0: people have ater doubt that
0 is something called a sixth sense
, If is should. prove to be e corn -
tion of two or more of the senses
a6szdy known and catalogued. Some
much more conscious of its opera -
'41$ than others. It is capable of
development. .Animals possess it to
a .greater degree than men and we -
lei, although there are men of wham
it is often said thet they have "eyes
in the back of their head.." This
sense seems to come into existence
.chiefly when danger threatens and
therefore those who walk in constant
peril and whose lives depend on their
quickness of thought and movement
may reasonably be expected to be the
best endowed with the sixth sense. In
Forest and Stream, Harry Randall
gives several instances of the opera-
tion of this strange organ, if indeed
we may call it so. In his case the
sense calls his attention to something
untoward by producing a faint prick-
ling sensation up and down his spine.
It goes and returns until his atten-
tion is thoroughly aroused and then
it vanishes.. He was conscious of this
sensation on one occasion when he
was tramping through the dark
woods with some freshly -killed deer
meat on his back.
'Something is following me," he
said to himself. He looked back and
could see nothing. He stopped but
there was silence. Still the monitor
persisted, and finally Mr. Randall
turned into a grass -grown yard of a
f.:eserted logging camp, stepped behind
the cabin and sat down facing the
'back trail with a rifle across his
knees. H waited half an hour and
then, sure enough, a cougar stepped
out from the shadow of the bush
sniffling the air before it ventured in-
to the open. One would suppose that
it must have been perhaps a mile a-
way when the sixth sense warned the
hunter that for the time being he was
the hunted. He says that an editor -
friend of his was hiking alone
n mcen-
tain trail when, at a bend. h'e recoiled
as suddenly as though he had been
struck on the jaw. The jolt was
physical as much as mental and he
actually staggered back. Closer in-
spection revealed a rattlesnake lying
immediately in his path. He would
have stepped on it in another stride
and undoubtedly would have been bit -
en but for the sudden springing to
arms of his sixth sense.
Hunters are particularly gifted with
the faculty of sensing danger and this
is ascribed to the peculiar sixth
sense. It is just possible that in
many cases it may be the result of
the five identified senses being more
acute. That they should be more
acute would be not only natural but
necessary if they were to live in the
wilds and successfully pit their wits
against those of the beasts and birds.
The man who lies down at night fear-
ing some danger will naturally wake
a good deal more quickly with his
senses more alert than the man who
sinks to rest with no such appre-
hensions. It is not a sixth sense that
wakes him at a, critical moment. It
is the subconscious mind which has
never let the sense of smell or hear-
ing sink into profound somnolence.
Habits of caution will also be develop-
ed and after awhile they will oper-
ate so automatically that it might al-
most seem that a sixth sense was at
work. It is by such reasoning that
scientists support their opinion that
the only senses we have are those
that are named and are common to
all warm blooded animals.
Instances which seem to contradict
this maa•possibly be explained on the
ground of coincidence, as in another
story told by Mr. Randall. There was
CAPT, SUTHERLAND
ENDORSES SARQON
"I had no end of troubles with in-
digestion, constipation and attendant
ale. It was common for me to suf
ler for hours. after my evening meal,
CAPT. G. SUTHERLAND
one elf the Meet. aealees of
Anglican laymen. But Whether the
House was right or wrong it was gall-
ing to millions of cammuaicaaits that
a secular body, in no way responsible
to, or exclusively representative of,
the Church of England, should have
the Authority to decide purely spiri-
tual matters in defiance of the atturch.
Many prominent churchmen,. includt
ing the Rt. Rev. H. Hensley Henson,
Bishop of Durham, say that dises-
tablishment must come, without dis-
endowment if possible, but dises-
teblishment in any event.
The vote in the Commons which
refused to accept the new prayer book
was by no means confined to mentbers
of the Church of England. On the
contrary, members from Scotland.
Wales and Northern Ireland voted
and among the so-called English
members who opposed the :bill was no
less a person than our old friend
Saklatvala, the only Communist in
the House, who is by religion a Par-
see. Members who had no religion at
all did not hesitate to say how the
Church of England' should conduct its
spiritual affairs. The thing was a
scandal, flavored with comae opera
elements. But the Englishman has
been proverbially indifferent to the
moral implications of things so long
as they work out satisfactorily, and
up to the present time the relations
between the church and state, though
revised occasionally, as at the time of
the 'Reformation, have been fairly
satisfactory to the great masses of
the people who never reflect upon
them. But the vote in the House
dragged the thing into the light, and
Bishop Henson says, "As matters
now stand in England, the nation re-
gards the clergy with suspicion ancl
a disgust which might but too easily
become a settled contempt."
He points out that the ecclesiastical
system of the Church of England is
mainly what the Stuart and Tudor
lawyers made it while the secular ar-
rangements of the country have been
transformed and revolutionized. That
anomalies should exist is, in such cir-
cumstances. inevitable. In face he
says that the establishment no longer
works. There is now a fundamental
principle at stake, namely, the right
of the church to plenary spiritual
freedom. It could not be bad for the
state or the church to end an ar-
rangement which, as he sees it, is con-
fessedly wrong. Whatever immedi-
ste disadvantages might be involved
in disestablishrnent, or even disere
dowment cannot be placed in the
scales against the high duty of doing
what is right. 'Men do not barter
their principles for property or prest
ige, or if they do they fall below
their manhood. It is so with church-
es. They can only exchange their
spiritual freedom for prestige and
endowment by forfeiting their power
to appeal to men's consciences.
It remains with Parliament to say
what measure of disendowment if any
should go with disestablishment. In
the case of the Presbyterian Church
of Scotland, Parliament showed itself
willing to deal in a large spirit with
ecclesiastical properties, and if the
same spirit were shown in England
there would be nothing but clear gain
for the church in severing the ties
'hat now unite it with the state.
These endowments are, as a ,natter
of fact, small in comparison with the
national budget, and their total an-
nual income would not exceed three
half -pence on the income tax, the
bishop says. By far the greater part
of them are spent in philanthropic
work, and if the church were to be
deprived of them it would fall upon
the state to find the money for thou-
sands of useful charities which now
make no demand upon it. The tithes
and glebes which constitute most of
the endowments are now tied to local
services and expended in the parish-
es from which they are drawn. In
rural districts particularly. where de-
pression is marked, it would be a cal-
amity if this source of income were
taken from the church and turned ov-
er to Parliament to be expended for
the general purposes of the nation.

an old cat in the household which had
become diseased and it was decided
that she should be shot. So Mr. Ran-
dall as the Nimrod of the family was
asked to shoot her. The cat was doz-
ing on the front porch and Mr. Ran-
dall went to the gun -rack for a rifle.
The cat had seen him with firearms
about the house hundreds of times
and had paid not the slightest atten-
tion. But this time his foot had no
sooner been set on the porch than the
cat with a piercing wail dived off and
scuttled madly under the house where
she remained all day and the follow-
ing night. It was several days later
that she gave him the opportunity to
put the family out of the misery the
cat was causing. His idea is that a
sixth sense warned the cat that he
had lethal designs upon her. but it is.
obvious that there might be other
reasons quite as probable.
Mr. Randall quotes as proof of the
existence of a sixth sense among wild
animals their behavious in game sanc-
tuaries. They know when they are
protected and will permit a human
being to approach within a few feet
of them. But when the shooting sea-
son opens they will become wary. One
might suggest that animals have ade-
quate intelligence for their own pro-
tection and that their five senses
would be sufficient to tell them when
there is no danger to be feared. The
game that survives is the game that
has the most intelligence plus the
necessary physical equipment to take
advantage of it, and this is the game
that will be the progenitors of the
game next year. The ability of
hawks, owls and crows to perceive
the presence of weapons would seem
to depend mainly on their powers of
sight, and we presume that a man
with a stick carried over his shoul-
der would get no closer than the man
with a rifle. The sense that most of
us have in a dark room which pre-
vents us from walking into a wall is
located in the ear and is akin to that
of hearing. It may also partake of
the sensation of touch and be com-
municated to the nerves on the sur-
face of the skin nearest the unseen
obstacle. Of late the theory has been
advanced that the sense which en-
ables a horse or dog to, recognize a
timid person is olfactory. Fear is.

lowing in other craft but to the' land-
lubber it possesses all the sporting in-
terest of a race between glaciers, or
a game of crokinole for the champion-
ship of the neighboring parish. There
is no obvious drama or action, des-
pite the fact that skill of the most
highly developed kind may be em-
ployed and some of the world's best,
yacht designing brains be pitted in a
contest that began perhaps with a
telephone conversation, was continu-
ed on a draughting board and sees its
issue on the tumbling seas on the At-
lantic coast.
In recent years only the sportsman-
ship of Sir Thomas Lipton has kept
interest alive in the greatest of yacht-
ing prizes. It is possible that while
Sir Thomas has spent .perhaps $5,-
000,000 in his quest for the cup he is
not actually money out of pocket.
There is the advertising value of his
exploits to be considered, and Sir
Thomas is one of the most ingenious
advertisers in history. Many years
ago, at a time when in this offic3 there
did not seem to be any particular de-
gree of moral turpitude in accepting
money for the display of liquor ad-
vertisements, the advertising manag•
er of The 'Mail and Empire called up-
on a gentleman in the liquor business
and asked him to take advertising
space in this paper. The solicited
gentleman stared at him blankly and
then demanded: "What the heck do
you think I keep a racing stable for?"
Only he did not say "heck," the word
not having been invented in the bad
old days which we recall with a shud-
der. So, as we have suggested, while
the sportsmanship of Sir Thomas Lip-
ton has always been 18 carat, it is
possible that he does not need any
particular sympathy for the amount
of money which he has sunk in his
effort to win the America's cup.
It can be said confidently of
Shamrock V what has been said with
equal confidence of Shamrocks II, III
and IV, to wit that she is an improve-
ment upon her immediate predecessor.
Shamrock IV came closest to winning
the trophy, for in 1920 she actually
drifted first past the finishing line on
two occasions. Unfortunately there
was not enough wind to make a race
and hers was but a moral victory.
However, it was none the less wel-
come since it was the first victory of
any kind to be scored by the Sham-
rocks. This challenger was on her
way to the United States when war
broke out and she was convoyed to
the Bermudas where she waited until
there was a chance to race. In the
circumstances her performance was
creditable .and encouraging, and but
for the prosperity of the tea business
Sir Thomas would have needed al
good deal of encouraging. In 1903
Sir Thomas sent across the Sham-
rock III, but she 'vas beaten in three
straight races by Reliance. She was,
in fact, outclassed, and the genial
baronet took a rest for 10 years wait-
ing for some new British yacht de-
signers to be born or for the Her-
reshoff American yacht building gen-
iuses to die.
His first America's cup challenger
made her bid in 1899 and was beaten.
Two years later he tried again, only
to be beaten by the Columbia which
had been the defender in the first
race. All these boats were somewhat,
freakish in design, built for a special
purpose and useless for any other. A
considerable amount of cunning went
into their construction for they had
to be designed to come within the
rules of the New York Yacht Club,
and also to comply .with the terms
governing all America's cup races.
They were supposed to cross the At-
lantic Ocean under their own sail, and
while this was quite possible with
ships of the type o f the original
America it was obvious that a modern
yacht could not sail from England
across the Atlantic and then meet on
equal terms the specially-constrncted
yachts built for the defence of the
cup. The defenders had no ocean
voyage handicap to surmount. They
could be built for the special purpose
of a sailing race in American waters.
The challengers had to be ocean-go-
ing as well.
This was one of the reasons why
all the early challengers failed. They
were beaten before they started. Fin-
ally the sportsmanship of Sir Thomas
Lipton caused the governors of the
New York Yacht Club to amend their
rules so that he could build the same
type nf yacht as challenger which
could he huilt as defender. So it may
be said that the ocean crossing no
more constitutes an insuperable bar-
rier to his success. Shamrock V is
not a freak, and there is nothing un-
usual about her except her centre-
board. It is expected that after the
America's cup races she can be sail-
ed about like a cruise/. and will prob-
ably have several years of usefulness
before her. If she shOuld win the
battered mug she will no doubt be
kept in commission to defend it should
the Americans challenge. But it has
been frequently said that they will be
content to let it abide on the other
side of the ocean should any Briton
be able to lit' it. There can be no
doubt that even in the United States
the most popular outcome of the next
races would be a victory for the sport-
ing Irish baronet.

WANTS TO END THE TIE OF
CHURCH AND STATE
Whether the Church of England
should be disestablished is a question
much in the minds of the Anglican
clergy at this time, the Church As-
eembly having asked the two arch-
bishops to appoint a commission for
the purpose of reviewing the present
relations between church and state.
That they are thoroughly unsatisfac,
tory is the belief of most of the
clergy, however the laymen may re-
gard them. In John Wesley's phrase
the time has come for them to be
mended or ended, and any conceiv-
able sort of mending would come
pretty close to an absolute ending.
The question is, in brief, whether the
state should exert control over the
church in spiritual matters, that is
to say should the British Parliament
have any more authority over the
Church of England than it has over
the Roman Catholic Church or any of
the Protestant religions? Should
there be, in fact, a state church?
We suppose there are a good many
who would be in favor of a state
church at which regular attendance
was compulsory and contributions to
which would 'ae enforced by law. But
that ecclesiastical idea has long since
passed away and there is no possible
chance of its being revived. Churehe
men feel that they get little benefit
by having a different relation with the
state than ether churches and that
there come occasions when the rela-
tionship is harmful if not indeed fa-
tal to the spirit of the church.
The question was raised when the
House of Commons rejected the
Prayer Book measure, and declared in
effect that it would determine how
communicants of the 'Church of Eng-
land should worship. It is true that

Ontario Man Speaks
With Great Enthusiasm
MR. J, et SHOOK TELLS OF DODD'S
KIDNEY PILLS
FROM THE DOMINION
CAPITAL
Before going away for the Easter
recess, parliament had a long and
wordy warfare over the question of
unemployment. Like everything else
in the present session it was not dis-
cussed from a practical angle, but
rather from one of pure politics.
The' government was blamed for the
unemployment which exists, a liberal
estimate being that perhaps 50,000
people are either out of work or un-
deremployed. Conservatives blame
this on the Dominion government's
fiscal policy, as not affording a suf-
ficient degree of tariff protection.
The answer to this was one very ob-
vious and very' effective, namely, that
in the United States, where they have
the highest system of protection in
the world, people out of work are
said to number at least 3,500,000.
Therefore, it was reasoned that if
high protection is no remedy for such
a condition across the line, it could
be no remedy on this side.
But the discussion went much fur-
ther than this. Some members who
did not subscribe to the Conservative
line of attack, criticized the govern-
ment eery strongly for not aiding the
provinces in helping cope with the
problem of unemployment. The an-
swer of the dominion government was
that, constitutionally, the reeponsi-
bility for dealing with such social
matters is, primarily, municipal and,
secondly, provincial, hut that, if the
provinces are unable to cope with the
situation the Dominion is prepared to
help. And the conspicuous fact was
cited that no one of the provinces has
made any sueh application.
In the heated discussion that ex-
tended over a week, Premier, King
made his opponents proclaim to have
been a break with the resultant ef-
fect of protests from several provin-
cial premiers and from the Conserva-
tive press throughout the country in
general. He said: "I wouldn't give a
five -cent piece to aid any Tory gov-
ernment in this alleged problem of
unemployment." While there is much
criticism at this outburst, it is not
without commendation by supporters
of the government, who declare that
there is a perfect conspiracy between
Tory provincial governments through-
out Canada and the Tory part in
parliament to make extravagant de-
mands upon the dominion treasury, in
the full knowledge that they will be
refused, but in the belief that refusal
will operate to the disadvantage of
the Liberal party in Dominion poli-
tics. In this connection there have
been demands for aid to highways,
technical education and other things
of a purely provincial character. Mr.
King has never amplified nor with-
drawn his observation, but, while it
was an extreme departure from the
wonted urbanity, it really reflects a
deep resentment over what he con-
siders to be a political plot to put him
in the hole, and the more partisan
elements of the Liberal party
throughout the country approve his
utterance under the circumstances.
He Says He Uses Them More As n
Preventative Than a Remedy.
Corbetton, QM., May 1.—(Special)
—at is with true enthusiasm that Mr.
J. A. Shook, a well known resident of
this place, gives his opinion of Dodd's
Kidney Pills,
"For the past thirty years I have
been working at pick and shovel work
—ditching, road building and section
work. Pretty stiff work on the back,
kidneys and bladder, with the result
a pain in the small of the back. A
friend recommended Dodd' e Kidney
Pills. I used some with the following
results—less pain and more work.
That was some thirty years ago.
Since that time I have used Dodd's
Kidney Pills more as a preventative
than a cure. I use, them when J have
hard work to do. Eat lots, work hard
and use Dodd's Kidney Pills is my
maxim. I am in my sixty-third year
and can do a man's work yet thanks
to Dodd's Kidney Pills."

trolling or being in agreement with

lines. If the tariff is put up against

anomalous position of asking protec-
tion against themselves.
IRISH BARONET LAUNCHES
FIFTH OF THE SHAMROCKS
On Monday last Shamrock V was
launched and next September Ameri-
can society will turn out at Newport
to see the Most uninteresting sport-
ing contest of mlodern times, another
race for the America's cup. Only one
thing can give the contest a lift, and
that is victory for Shamrock, V. It
is the persistent challenging of Sir
Thomas Lipton, added to the fact
that the famous cup has been in the
possession of the first winner longer
perhaps than any challenge trophy in
history, that tends to make the efent
something more exciting than a flag-
pole sitting cante,st. If there were
no Lipton with his series of Sham.

Radio Plan Losing Favor.
The Dominion government is weak-
ening on the question of nationalizing
radio broadcasting. Fifty thousand
dollars was spent last year on a com-
mission which 'travelled all over Can-
ada and Europe and part of the Unit-
ed States, investigating, the radio sit-
uation there, and which concluded its
investigation by recommending that
five high power stations -50,000 watt
affairs—be strung over Canada and
that, in co-operation with the prov-
inces, broadcasting be in the principle
of public ownership.
It was intimated at the time that
legislative effect would be given to
this recommendation. More recently
the announcement was that s'i bill
embodying the proposals would be in-
troduced by the government, but re-
ferred to a special committee of the
house to report upon it. Now, this
is being further modified. A com-
mittee is to be constituted, but the
only thing to be referred to it is the
commission's report, and it will be
for it to say whether or not any ac-
tion shall be taken. The present in-
dications are that there will be none
just now.
Powerful newspaper interest which
own broadcasting plants are strongly
opposed to the nationalizing move,
and to that has been added the Cana-
dian Pacific !Railway, which has an
envious eye upon the great advertis-
ing that the 'Canadian National has
been getting for the past few years
under its radio department. All the
arguments that Canada is behig
Americanized through the air being
largely controlled by high powered
American stations, may go by the
board, because of the political influ-
ence of those who are interested in
private broadcasting establishments.
Divorce Court for Ontario.
with Canada, a delegation has just
been here after visiting Australia and
bringing the report that that country
is prepared to extend the full of ats
preferential tariff to Canada, addmg
a prefeeence on atunber if Canada
will do the same by it. And Mr. Mal-
colm, Minister of Trade and Oont-
merce here, has stated that the Do-
minion government has always been
looking to. adept such a course and
next month, returning from a naval
conference in London, a member of
the Australian cabinet :will come here.
The occasion will be seized for nego-
tiations looking to a wide extension
of trade between the two countries.
A tremendous movement in favor of
it has developed out M British Colum-
bia, particularly since the United
States tariff is likely to shut out
British Columbia lumber and shingles
from the American market. An Aus-
tralian preference on Canadian lum-
ber would enable the western lumber-
man to grab a large part of the lum-
ber trade that now goes to American
interests.
C. N. R. Revenue Drops.
The Canadian National Railways
did very well last year, but not near-
ly as well as in the previous twelve
months. The figures came out the
other day and show a decline in op-
erating revenue of $16,750,000. The,
weather and the farmers were to
blame for this. During the first seven
months of the year the gross revenue
maintained a high level, but then
came bad weather and a bad crop in
a large part of the West. And after
the grain was harvested—and where
there was any crop at all it graded
high—the farmers, in their wheat
pool, decided to hold it back from the
market. Consequently, it has not mov-
ed and freight receipts on both the
national systems have declined very
materially.
The C. N. R., however, took the
generous stand that it is unwise and
opposed to the national interest to
emlbark upon a policy of wholesale
retrenchment which would throw
many hundreds of wage earners out
of employment, with attendant eco-
nomic disadvantages, so very often
have lost their jobs; but the condition
is reflected in the loss of operating
revenue. Nevertheless, the grain will
have to move shortly and what was
lost last year in revenue will readily
be made up and added to the .rev-
enues of the current year.
Solicitude for Veterans.
A solicitude for the soldiers and
their problems is shown in an inci-*
dent in the pensions committee be-
fore parliament took its Easter re-
cess. Liberals have one scheme and
Conservatives have anither, and there
has been more or less jockeying for
position. The government has inter-
vened to say that it will accept any
scheme for improving the pensions
scale and any regulatione that the
committee may devise, regardless of
what individual or group may be the
author of the ultimate plan. This is
regarded as a broad and generous at-
titude, designed to do the best for
the former service men, and getting
away from the all too predominant
tendency to play politics with this as
with all other public questions on
what is supposedto be the eve of a
national election.

Protection Demanded.
At this time of the year when a
budget is pending, there are many
demands upon the government for
increased protection. Reference has
previously been made to the activities
of the tariff board and to other agen-
cies which are employed in tariff
matters, but perhaps the most curious
thing is the number of American in-
dustries located in Canada which are
joining with the Canadian manufac-
turers in this crusade. What they
are doing is to call for a tariff which
would keep out of Canada, or at least
make difficult of access to the Cana-
dian market, the products of their
parent corporations, of which they are
Ontario is likely to get its divorce
court this session but the bill is trav-
elling a long, slow and rocky road.
It has been endorsed in principle but
in the detailed stage it has encounter-
ed an amendment, making its opera-
tion contingent upon the formal re-
quest of the government of Ontario.
The discussion in the limited time in
which it is possible to discuss the
bill has developed a combination of
credal, political and sectional pre-
judices, and, as matters now stand,
the act, if it becomes law at all, will
not getethere for another Tenth.
Meanwhile the rival factions for
and against the divorce court in On-
tario are stirring up all kinds of agi-
tation, which is being employed to in-
fluence memlbers of Parliament. The
probabilities are that the bill will
eventually pass but very possibly with
the qualifying amendment referred
to. It has been stated that, if such
a proviso is tacked on, Premier Fer-
guson will not ask for a court, and
therefore the act would be a nullity.
Australia's Attitude Puzzling.
Some curious things are going on
these days in imperial relations. Down
in Australia the budget was present-
ed to the Commonwealth Parliament
recently, and a fifty per cent. tax was
imposed upon a large number of lux-
uries, many of them purchased from
the Mother Country and some from
Canada. The Canadian trade to be
affected by this would be about a
$1,000,000 a year. (in theotherhand,
