Editor TRAVESTIES OF JUSTICE The murder of the year and a half old son of Charles and Ann Lindbergh near their home at Hopewell, N.J., has stirred the world in a manner not experienced for many years. The intensive search for the kidnapped baby had been progressing for two months, when the babe was found in a bush a few miles from its home murdered. While the search has been intensive, according to newspapei reports, it has been a travesty on thi law in that great republic to the south of us. It would be strange, indeed, if some change is not brought aboul by the government of the United States that would reduce the corrup- tion in its law enforcement bodies and enforce the laws of the land that are already on the statute books, am effectively dispose of the gunmen rackatof! s and others that come be- fore it for trial and sentence. This was further instanced a week or so ago in the Hawaiian Islands when several citizens were found guilty ol murdering a native, sentenced to ten years in jail and allowed to go on spending an hour in an office of the jail and not even in a cell. It is such actions as this that make the average man believe that a person with mon- ey receive immunization from the law in that country. The kidnapning and subsequent murder of thff Lindbergh baby was just another case, and would not have received much notice, other than a few lines in a local paper, if the parents had not be noted members of United States society. CANADA L IP TH E WORLD'S CREATES/ PLAYGRQU m \ Wide Variety of Recreational Attractions Canadians Fortunate in Holiday Advantages Their Country Offers 1 EDITORIAL NOTES HE majority of Canadians probably do not realize what a wonu<el 'f u l choice f vaca- tion opportunities this coun- try offers. How many of -. us in any one province have first-hand knowledge of the widej range of attractions of our neighbor- ! ing provinces? Many no doubt have pone to seek a holiday, forgetting! that our own Dominion is unequalled, in the exceptional variety and range of its recreational resources. Sure- ly a country which attracts visitors- from other countries by the tens of millions must have recreational fea- tures of interest to its own citizens birds are rigidly protected and their fearlessness never fails to interest visitors. SUMMER RESORTS NUMEROUS AND VARIED RECREATIONAL AREAS EASILY ACCESSIBLE The military authorities of Canada, in their endeavor to keep victims of war troubles off the pension list, are about as "technical" as those of the United State*, and in their keeping ; down the "dec-orated" list our neigh- ' bors arc no less pernicketty.. It has just been derided at Washington for example, that a soldier kicked and injured by an army mule, or even by un enemy's mule, is not entitled to n decoration for wounds. The United States war department h:is ruled thai un applicant for "the purple heart' decoration must have been wounded by bullets. * In tb- matter of hats, it canr.->t In nmtcndvd that Queen Mary sets tht fashion. She is decidedly conser- vatism in head gear. Hut it is. in- tcre> cling to note that in her buying for summer wear this year, the Brit ish Quoon sets her choice on blue. Now is the time to buy diamonds They are said to be getting "dirt cheap" in South Africa, the rhiet country of production. To us tho news in of small comfort, while we have subscribers forgetting to pay up. The season of forest fires is at hand, and it is well for all of us. especially smokers, to remember that careless smokers are responsible foi more destructive conflagrations in the woods than any other cause. Hut thoughtless picnickers are not far be- hind, though there are not very re- liable statistics in this regard. Many happy mothers are, no doubt rfiRgratulatinv themselves these day that they are married to husbands ol the "plain garden variety." They are not liable to the danger arising from wni Id-wide fame. This mud the terrible murder of the stolen b:ib\ Lindbergh has made clear to all parent-. The Dominion tax bill, now fully enforced, ii by far the greatest impost since the war years. And few of us are likely to be alive when the ad- ditions to the 'natiorl'.V debt, now made, have been cleared off. It is so easy to travel in Canada that an interprovincial tour is a re- creation which every Canadian vaca- tionist may well and profitably under- take. All the developed and much of the undeveloped part of the Do- minion is easily accessible by train, boat or automobile. Canada is serv- ed by two of the world's greatest railway systems and a number of smaller lines. The equipment and service are of the highest standard Steamers built specially for pleasure cruising afford many pleasant trips along the coast and on the extensive inland water system of lakes, rivers and canals. A cruise from the head of the dreat Lakes to the Maritime Provinces is nearly equal, in distance, to an ocean voyage. Good roads leatf to practically all scenic and sporting territories. Canada's road system includes many thousands of miles ot surfaced highways, well equipped with direction signs and danger signals. Tourist accommodation from campsite to hotel, is available almost every- where. NATIONAL PARKS COVER LARGE AREA National and provincial parks In Canada cover nearly 25,000 square miles. They are areas which have been withdrawn fro .1 exploitation and are beinj? preserved in their vir- gin beauty and wildness, for purposes of pleasure and recreation. The largest nat>>nal parks are in the Rocky Mountains section of Alberta a region of unsurpassed scenic splen- dour admirably equipped bv naturt for all forms of sport and recreation. There are also important parks in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Man- itoba, Ontario and Quebec. Accommo- dation ranges all the way from largo modern hotels, to log cabins and tents. Fishing is one of the chief attractions in the parks, but game animals and Throughout the Dominion there are many summer resort districts which ' offer a wide range of Attraction and v.-riety of accommodation. On the Atlantic coast, in the provinces of, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, are typical sea- shore resorts, where salt-water bath- ing, sailing and deep sea fishing are the principal attractions. The rugg- ed beauty of this coast and the pic- turesque charm of every inlet, cannot fail to enchant the summer visitor. Quebec's summer playgrounds are of the most varied nature including as they do, sea-shore, mountain, lake and forest resorts. Along the lowei ] St. Lawrence, summer colonies have >een established at many points. North ' of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa rivers the Laurcntian mountains, clothed with pine forest and dotted with lakes, constitute a vast summer ind winter playground. The Eastern Townships, which adjoin the inter- national boundary, also have a num- ber of well-established re-sorts, on picturesque lakes and rivers. Ontario has perhaps the largest number and greatest variety of de- j veloped summer resorts of any of the provinces. The Thousand Islands, Lake of Bays, Muskoka lakes, and Georgian bay are known throughout America, but there are in addition equally attractive, only slightly les: known, districts. Accommodation in {hides everything from campsite to palatial hotel, and cottages may be rented, in any disrict. In the provinces of Manitoba, Sask- atchewan and Alberta many attrac- tive resorts are located along the shores of the lakes and rivers. The Canadian Rockies are world famous for scenic beauty and contain somt of the most highly developed tourist resorts on the continent. British Columbia, with varied and splendid scenic attractions, is a tour-' ist wonderland. The province has majestic mountain ranges, and ex- tensive lake area, stately forests, an imposing coast line, and many attrac- 1 live resorts in settings of exceptional: natural beauty.

GOVERNMENT BUREA.U FREE INFORMATION SERVICE For a number of years the Depart- ment of the Interior at Ottawa has been engaged in the promotion of the Canadian tourist industry, more es- peciHy the development of tourist travel from the United States to Canada. It is also endeavoring to influence Canadians to spend theii vacation in the Dominion. The Nat- ional Development Bureau of that Department will gladly furnish inter- provincial road maps and other infor- mation for the use of those planning a Canadian tour, and where necessary will refer enquiries to provincial and local tourist organizations. Appli- r-ants should he PS specific as possible is to the section of Canada in which they are interested, in order that available information may be sup-! plied. The Monday morning bulletins of week-end accidents are beginning to make their appearance. They tell of various forms of tragedies, motor car accidents, drownings, etc., and take - toll of human life which is alto- gether too large during the summer .season.

The editor of the Montreal Stand- ard took pencil in hand the other day, busied himself with a scratch pad, and made the discovery that there are in Canada 157 Superior Court judges, the upkeep of whom costs $1,400,000 an- nually. These figures were compared with those of Great Britain, which, with a population in excess of 46,000,- 000 employs but 35 superior court judges, at a cost of approximately $875,000.
