When Should This Session Of
Parliament End?
Quite a general discussion has
arisen and is finding expression
through the Canadian papers, as to
the advisability, or non -advisability,
of the present Dominion session of
Parliament concluding its labors be-
fore the King starts out on his Can-
adian tour.
There are those who claim that
with little extra exertion the mem-
bers could easily wind up the busi-
ness, fold up their tents and depart
to their respective homes before this
expected event, without causing any
monetary loss to the country at large.
On the other hand, there are those
who claim that the country's busi-
ness is much more important than
the visit of the King and Queen or
anything else, and that the country's
business and the welfare of the Can-
adian public would suffer severely
by the closing of Parliament now.
Undoubtedly, there is still a good
deal of important legislation still to
consider. But the point stands out
hat political bickering and long -
drawn out discussion does not add to
the good or evil of the legislation,
nor to the dignity and welfare of the
nation.
If there is still time to give proper
consideration to the impending leg-
islation in committee, it makes very
little difference to the welfare of the
country and its people, how much
time is given to it on the floor of the
House..
Time given to important questions
on the floor of the House is import-
ant, of course. Particularly so when
there is Hansard to record and
broadcast it. But if the time wasted
on the floor of the House ,during the
past few months had been devoted
to the proper consideration of legis-
lation instead of to politics, the la-
bors of Parlint W9uld already be
for this session.
' TierhAp it ig not good business to
rush through measures in the closing
hours of a session, but it has always
been done, and undoubtedly it will
continue that way. As a matter of
fact, however, we doubt very much
if it will make a single particle of
difference to anyone across broad
Canada whether the present session
of Parliament ends now or two
months from now. Professional pol-
iticians excepted, of course.

Eventually, Whp Not Now ?
Last Saturday evening, following
the first really warm day we have
had this spring, was almost a perfect
evening from the weather point of
view.
As a consequence, town people,
and more particularly, country peo-
ple, took full advantage of it to come
into town to do their week's shop-
ping, to see the show, or just to see
what others were doing.
So many came in, in fact, that the
congestion of traffic on Main Street
made driving not only slow, but in a
great many instances actually dan-
gerous. And that was the first Sat-
urday night of a long series of Sat-
urday nights that will follow through
the summer when traffic congestion
will increase with the warm weather
and holiday season.
That situation is not peculiar to
Seaforth. Every town in the county
has experienced it in the past few
years, and every town will continue
to experience it in increasing volume
until some action is taken to remedy
this dangerous congestion.
Eventually, every town council will
have to grapple with the question and
arrive at some solution, or make
some attempt, at least, to do it. Why
not now?
We know it is a ticklish question,
but putting it off is not going to help
matters any. Rather will delay force
a day of reckoning and perhaps a
very expensive day for the town, or
a very tragic or regrettable day for
Acme citizens of the town or county.
' Altman nature is pretty much
alike. And pretty Waal, in its
vidual similiarity.Every pe son
wants to park their ear Where and
when they please, and stay parked as
long as it suits their convenience.
But every person does not for a
moment acknowledge the right of ev-
ery other person to claim the same
privilege. The present policy is—
First come, first served, and the dev-
il take the hindermost. Well, the
devil will. It is nothing short of a
miracle that he has not done it long
ago.
It is this touchiness of human na-
ture that has, in all probability, kept
municipal councils from dealing with
Main Street parking on Saturday
nights long before this. They hesi-
tate to offend. They are afraid that
people who are unable to get their
own way in their town will go to
some other town. And perhaps they
wilL
But it is not good for people to get
their own way all the time. In fact,
no person ever has. They would not
in this case either if all the town
councils, even those in this county,
would adopt identical regulations
governing Saturday night parking.
In which case the 'discontents would
very soon find that they were treated
just as well in their own town as in
any other, and would, undoubtedly,
decide to stay at home.
It is becoming more apparent ev-
ery year that all towns will soon
have to place a time limit on all park-
ing privileges on their Main -Streets
on Saturday nights during the sum-
mer months, and in order to do this
it will be necessary for all towns to
provide a,mple public parking space,
and provide also ample attendants to
supervise and ensure safety,
All town authorities realize not
only the danger to the public, but the
loss business is sustaining under the
present situation, but likewise all
town councils realize the unpopular-
ity and possible still further loss of
business which would result by be-
ing the first to introduce parking
regulations to cover present day
needs.
As we say, all town councils are
riding in the same boat. Therefore
we can not see why some effort could
not' be put forth to arrange a get-
together. Eventually it has to be
done. Why not do it right now?
The Watch Did Not Always
Have A Pocket
You keep your watch in a watch
pocket, of course. But do you know
that the watch did not always have
a pocket of its own? Or that watch-
es used to be worn hanging from a
chain, sometimes two of them, one
hanging on either side of the wearer..
There were other places where
watches used to be worn too. One
of these places was on a coat, like
buttons. Away back in 1781, a French
Duke is described as wearing watch-
es as fastenings for his coat, and the
same idea was adopted by a French
Count, who travelled from Lyons to
some other place in France in an op-
en carriage wearing six watches as
buttons to his overcoat
And watches used to be worn in
rings. And there is one in an Ameri-
can collection to -day that was so
small that it was worn as a shirt
stud.
It was the Puritans in England
who put the watch as well as so many
other things and persons, in its pro-
per place. To them we owe the hab-
it of keeping a watch in a pocket.
The Puritans didn't like display,
and this dislike induced them first of
all to conceal their watches from the
public gaze. The Puritan put his in
a "fubbe," an old German name
which meant a small pocket and
which came to be known as a watch
pocket, and from that same old Ger-
man name we have the word "fob,"
which is now a part of the English
language.
As far as the watch is concerned,
most of us are Puritans now. There
was a time when women used to wear
them round their necks or pinned on
like -a medal, and they are starting
to wear them that way again too.
There is nothing a woman will not
do for style.
Soldiers, doctors, druggists and
bankers, unlike the, old time Puritan
exterminators, very often wear their
watches on their wrists, but most
men, like ourself, are out and out
Puritans. When our watches are
not in hock, we wear them in a
"fubbe." ,

"SPRING FIRES" •
.That is there about Spring that
makes a woman want to start a bon-
fire? Is it some throwback from prim -
Alive days, when the caveman ventur-
ed forth and while the animate had a
glossy hide, stew one, skinned, it and
brought it home to make a new Spring
outfit for Mr. and Mrs:. Caveman.
Then I suppose they had a bonfire,
feeling that it was safer to :burn the
old hides, than to venture sending
them out to a local cleaning and
neessing emporium. •
It was at dinnertime today that I
foresaw what was coming. Mrs. Phil,
usually one who takes time with her
meals, was hurrying through. I was
still on meat and potatoes when, she
drained the last of her tea, and then
win], a hurried excuse went out in the
backnatel. An errant Spring breeze
supplied the answer to whatever cur-
iosity I may have shad, by sending in
a huge cloud of smoke.
When I finished my meal it was to
find Mrs. Phil raking all the chips in
sight into tile bonfire. Now that's all
right! I like to see everything tidied
up for Spring, but what 1 hate is
when she starts looking for material
:for that fire in the house.
Sure enough, when I was halfway
through a pipeful of tobacco, she
came out with the first armful of stuff
. . . and the battle was on . .
"Look at that good hat, why are
you burning it?" "Because it's no pos-
sible use to you, and besides you
haven't worn it for two years." For
fully ten minutes the argument raged
about the het. True enough the hat
is too small for me, and it does look
sort of faded, but my contention was
that it was too good to throw away.
Books, magazines, papers, an old
overcoat. She was the prosecution
and I was the defense lawyer. My
strongest argument was that the stuff
was too good to throw away. The
papers . . . well. I saved thorn to
read a certain article.
The fire waxed stronger, and the

Mrs. Phil scoffed at the idea that it

whether that umbrella should be kept
or noL Teed year we came danger-

A person does gather up a lot of

another house to store the stuff in.

Bernard Shaw
Bernard Shaw's name first became
familiar to the general public as the
result of scurrilous attacks:, disguised
as interviews, made upon him by a
seotion of the London evening prese
The interviewer would force his way
into Shaw's modest apartment, appar-
ently for no other purpose than: to
bully and insult Lim.
Many people maintained that Shaw
must be an imaginary personage. Why
did he ,stand it? Why didn't he kick
t he interviewer downstairs? Failing
that, why didn't he call in the police?
It seemed difficult to belieVe in the
existence of a being so Ohristian as
this poor persecuted, Shaw appeared
to be. Everyone talked about him.
As a matter of fact, the interviews
were written by Shaw himself—Jer-
ome K. Jerome, My Life and Times

People, who claim to know say that
smoke the worst cigars in the world.
But observe what superstition, assist-
ed by a man's reputation, will do. One
night I was to have, 12 friends to ;sup-
per, one of them as notorious for cost-
ly cigars as I was for cheap and dev-
ilish ones. I called at his house and
when no one was looking borrowed a
double handful of his very choicest
eigars which cost him 40 cents apiece
and bore red -and -gold labels in sign
of their nobility. I removed the lab-
els and put the cigars in the box of
my favorite brand—a brand which
those people all knew, and which
cowed them completely.
At the end of supper, when cigars
were offered, they took them, lit them
and struggled with them in dreary sil-
ence for a short tiine. Thea they
made .excuses and filed out, treading
on one smother's, heeis with indecent
'eagerness. In the morning I found all
the cigars between the door and the
front gate, except one—which lay ie
the plate of the man frorn whom I
had cabbaged the lot. He told me
afterward that some day I would: get
shot- for giving people that kind of

CANADA AND FRENCH AFRICA
The French colonial empire in,
South Africa 1 extensive. It includes
Tunisia, Algeria, the Federation of
French West Africa, French Equator-
ial Africa, French East Africa, Mada-
gascar and its dependencies. The area
is almost equal to that of the Do-
minion of Canada and the population
is over 32,000,000 souls, more than
1,000,000 being of European, origin:.
Of France's African colonies, per-
haps the masa prominent in ,the pub-
lic mind is Tunisia. Tape history of
Tunisia begins with the establishment
of the Phoenician colonies. The Panic
settlers semitized th,e coast, but after
the Romans entered into the 'heritage
of the Carthaginiane, the Punic speech.
and civilization gave way to Latin.
Tunisia formed part of the territory
wthich the Romans celled Carthage.
After that there were -Arab. and Ber-
ber dnnastiee. Tunis, the capital, was
a flourishing eity, particularly in: the
manufacture of fine clotla
The conquest of Algiers by the
Turks gave a dangerous western
neighbor to Tunisia, culminating in a
Turkish conquest, followed by a Span-
ish, occupation, anel again a Turkish
conquest. Under the Deys and: Beys
(Turkish rulers) Tunisia was essen-
tially a pirate etate. The release'- of
all Christian slaves was not effected'
until after the historic bombardment
of Algiers and may be dated from the
•collective note of the Europe -ant pow-
ers in 1819.
The French began to regard the do-
minions of the Bey as a natural
adjunct to Algeria, but after the Crim-
ean War Turkish rights over the reg-
ency were revived. After the Franco-
German War the embarrassed Bey
turned to Great Britain for advice, and
a British diplomatic agent was at the,
court of Tunis until 1879. Just before
that the British government agreed: to
allow France a "free handl" in Tunisia
in return for Frendhacquiescence in
the British lease of Cyprus. In 1881
the country was brought completely
under French protectorate. The year
before that, the Itelia.rus had purchass
ed the British railway from Tunis' to
Goletta. As France has no surplus
population most of the immigrants to
French Africa are Italians. Centuries
before, the country was settled: by
Jews who moved to this part of the
world when it was still a Turkish pos-
session, where they had a better
chance to survive than under Ohris-
tian rule. They still form, a large
part of the population.
Tunisia extends southward to the
Sahara. It has an area of 45,000
square miles, nearly as large as: Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick combined.
There are 2% million inhabitants, of
whom 91,500 are French civilians and
91,200 Italians. Tunis itself alas a pop-
ulation of 203,000.
The valleys of the northern region
support large flocks and herds and
contain rich agricultural areas, grow-
ing Wheat, barley and oats. The vine
and olive are extensively cultivated_
The principal exports are phosphates,
olive oil, wheat and esparto grass_
Eighty per cent. of Tunisia's trade is
with France and Algeria.
Last year Canada's imports, Dora
French Africa amounted to $56,500 and
exports to that' country were valuedl
at $150,000. We obtained iron ore,
