Voice of the Press Canada, The Empire and The World at Large CANADA A Road Menace... Tho report on aiitonuiblle accidents during the tlrst four months of 1933, Just issued by the statisticians for a leading In.iuranco company, contaius ©no ratlicr slRnlflcunt little disclosure. WhilB tlio total numl)fr of deaths de- creased about 10 per cent, from the number for the same period In 1932, the number of defective cars involved In fatal accidents Increased by nearly 40 per cent. This, of course, is a con- vcquence of the depression. Cars that ought to be retired to tho junkyard arc â- till in service; others which have de- tective brakes, liRhts, tires or steer- ing mechanism are going without the repairs they need because their own- ers are pres.sed for cash. The man â- who drives such a car is under a heavy responsibility. If he keeps his car's defects In mind and makes allow- ance for them In l)is drivmg, every- thing is all right; but If he tries to bandle an aging and defective machine as he would a brand new one he Im- mediately makes a public menace of himself. â€" Vancouver Sun. zens even claimed .second place for Toklo. Tho new greater Toklo, with a population of little in excess of &.• 000,000, however, falls Into third place. I.<ondon and New York are both credit- ed with more than 6,900,000 inhabit- ants. â€" Frederlrton Gleaner. A Good Fish Story Police Uniforms Former Mayor Frank J. Mitchell Is only talking common sense when he suggests that the police department bo outfitted with neat flannel shirts for hot weather use. Instead of being com- pelled to roast In heavy tunics and Sam Browne lielts. "I have boon try- ing to get that done for live years," the former mayor remarked to the Star yesterday, "and it should be done on the grounds of common humanity." We have not talked to any policemen about the Idea, but we have no doubt that all members of Windsor's fine force would welcome tlie innovation. Furthermore, the cost of making this change for the hot months would not be a serious item. â€" Border Cities Star. THE EMPIRE Needs of the World The three vital needs of the world are the raising of price levels; tho stabilization of currencies ,and the re ductlon of artlflclil restrictions to trade. These and d pendent problems have created 30,000,000 unemployed, and brought the world to the verge of Insolvency. Each of tlio C6 nations which are meeting In an attempt to bring order out of chaos has its own interests, rights, and engagements. The task Is ono calling for the great- est caution. Any measures decided upon will have to bo made with full regard for the national interests In- volved. â€" Daily Mail. On Up Grade The employment return for May Is encouraging. For the fourth month in succession the employed total is up und the unemployed total down. Trade and industry are at least on the up grade. The numbers of unemployed on the registerâ€" 2,582,000â€" are still terribly large, but they are less by 158,000 than they were last May and less by 320,000 than they were last January. On the other hand, there are now 9,657,000 employed persons, a gain of 372,000 in four months. In every district except the North-Kastern, de- pendent ou coal and badly affected by the seasonal decline in that trade, un- employment has decreased. Almost all Industries except coal mining show an improvement, slight, perhaps, but none the less significant. â€" The Scep- tator. Speculation and Recovery Only a short time ago Sir Josiah Stamp warned the people of the United States against the dangers of speculation. Another boom such as the one of late lamented memory what he feared. It Is foolish to suggest that Buch a thing cannot happen again. It can. There are Indications of that possibility everywhere. The stock markets are flourishing, stock prices advancing sensationally, and every- one Is beginning to think in the same terms as formerly. If the recovery from the depression is to he accom- panied by an uncontrolled wave of reckless speculation, It will not last long, for speculation unsettles busi- ness, plays hob with prices, makes pro- duction and development subordinate to the making of money by exchanging pieces of paper and diverts money and attention and constructive thought away from the channels of legitimate, productive business. The controls must be prepared. â€" Saskatoon Star- Phoenix. Man and Vanity A despatch from London says that oven tha ma.scullne Knglishman has taken to the pursuit of personal beauty. All over England beauty •hops are crowded with men. They »re having tlielr sleep In hair nets. Well, why not? Why are we married lo the unspeakable notion that per- lonal vanity and adornment unHt a man for the stern duties of the world? France's great Louis was a little fop, »nd yet ho was a highly succesfiful ruler. Tho greatest Greeks and Ko- raaiis spent hours beautifying tlicm- leives. One need not look liku a itableboy to pack a punch. â€" Van- couver Sun. Ottawa Pacts Help Up to tho present the Ottawa agree- ment has brought Australia no disad- vantage. On the contrary, It has meant advantage. The building of new factories and the general improvement In manufacturing production are among the best signs of returning pros- perity. Industrial stocks on the share market are stronger and more buoyant than they have been since adversity swept over us. â€" Melbourne Herald. Ideal Pedestrian Found? It is reported from Czecho-Slovakia that a certain Alois Novotny was run over tho other day by a motor car and suffered a severe cut on the head. M. Novotny'a head had, of course, no serious effect on the car, but the transaction so flustered the driver that he swerved into a lamp post, which had. Tho victim rose unsteadily. "How much will it cost me," he said to the astonished driver, "to repair your car?" He then wrote out a cheque on the spot and went home to bed. Is it possible that out of the welter of modern tralhc, after years of waiting, exhorting, and legislating, the perfect pedestrian has arisen, humble enough to accept the status of bunker in tho fairway, and so businesslike that he pays promptly and goes hump? â€" Tho Glasgow Herald. "English as She is Wrote" Dr. .\llen Sinclair Will, head of the Department of Journalism at Rutgers University, finds cause for congratu- lation in the English uow being used In tho newspapers of this continent. "All but impeccable," is the way he oxproHses It. "The English used at the present time In the best newspapers," iJr. Will adds, "is not inferior to that which may be seen In current litera- ture finding acceptance from a largo body of discriminating readers. News- papers do not use or wish to use Vic- torian English. Their preference is for the vigorous speech current among cultivated people." â€" Winnipeg Tri- bune. Mil Secret of Success Cyrus H. K. Curtis, J'hiladelphia pub- Usher, who when he died the other day was the publisher of prosperous new.spapers and even more prosperous magazines having natlon-wldo sales running Into the millions, ascribed his success to the men who worked for him. He once said: '"I'he main point with me always has been in getting •omi'hody to do a Job heller than I could do It myself. I knew what I wanted, but I could not always accom- plish It. The success of our organiza- tion has been due entirely to the peo- ple I have found. 'â- â€"SU Thomas Times- lournal.

Lady Wavertree's Adopted Daughter Married in London THE UNITED STATES An Englishman's Conscience In an English movie house tho other night nearly a thousand people sat waiting for tho feature picture. The proJe('tion machine broke down and the management nnnoiinced tliatl the patrons would be refunded their money at the box ofllce. Rut as there were different price seats the problem arrise as to various claims tor remun- eration. The manage merely put his customers on their honor. And when the Inst payment was made the re- ceipts and the money paid out corres- ponded to a penny. It Is a marked chaructiuintic of the sturdy middle- class Englishman that he only wants that which is his. A whole volume could be written on that little Incident to show how a highly civilized people can have ingrained into them a sense of per.soMal respoiisiliility. Call it hon- esty or honor or what yon will, bihind It Is a social conscience which explains why London police do not have to car- ry guns and rarely even carry billies, and why Old Bailey, the once crimin- al court in all London, only needs to bold sessions three days a week. The good Englishman knows no higher duty than the responsibility of individ- ual citizenship.â€" Detroit Eree Press. Bride Gowned in Ice-Blue Lace is Stockingless â€" â-  No Reception Lady Wavertree did not attend the wedding ot her adopted daughter. Miss Rosemary Hull-Walker, to Mr. Charles Lionel Kayser, which took place at St. Clement Dane's, Strand, London. The bride was given away by her cousin, Sir Ian Walker, a well-known polo player, and was accompanied by two bridesmaid.'!, who were her school friends. Only fifty guests were at the wed- ding. The church was barely decor- ated with several pots of palms, and the service as short as possible. The bride, who was dressed in a cool looking frock, made of Ice-blue angel skin lace, followed the fashion of wear- ing no stockings. Over her head and face she wore a veil of noL No Reception There was no reception. Immedi- ately after the service the couple re- turned to the hotel at which Miss Hall- Walker had stayed the previous night. She changed into travelling clothes, and they left for Switzerland by train. Lord Wavertree left Miss Hall-Walk- er, £10,000, £10 five per cent, shares, which will yield an income ot approxi- mately £4,000 per year.

The "Nursing Mirror" offers some excellent advice Intended more particularly tor nurses but applicable also to the rest of the community. A holiday must be stimu- lating, and it must whet the appetite with a spice of adventure. Physical exercise Is essential, but the "Nurs- ing Mirror" has this to say about it: "Tho soundest rule to remember Is to be careful for the first, few days; ! in our enthusism at our new free- dom we climb too high, walk too fast swim too long, dance too late, and even eat too heartily, and some ot our precious days are spent In re- covering. In nursery da,y3 we can all remember the tiresome rules which restricted our paddling on tho first day at the seaside, or enforced a rest out ot the hot sunshine after lunch, but it is perhaps a pity they dark, and only the rushing watern could be seen and felt.

"The progress which Canada has made in supplying the British market with bacon one ot the most encourag- ing things in our International trade," said Mr. Stevens. "The countries with higher contributions were Denmark, Holland and Poland. In May, 1932, Canada stood sixth with 2,814,224 pounds and May, 1931, eighth with 234,976 pounds, coming far behind Den- mark, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, United States and Lithuania."

There is one other piece ot advice offered by th "Nursing Mirror" which is well founded but is too often ne- glected. Sleeping In a new bed every night Is not the surest way of ob- taining refreshing rest. It is better, therefore, to combine the tour with some days spent in one place, drink- ing in light, air and sunshine, and not having to hurry to catch trains and reach new towns.

Handicraft To Be Shown in Regina Rug Section Expected to Have Interesting Display The rug section of the handicraft e.KhiUt to be held by the Women's Art Association of Saskalxdiewan in connection with the World Grain Show at Regina, July 24 to Aug, 5. bids fair to be a most ej^tensive and interesting display. In recent years great interest has been revived in the haodicrafts as a beautifier of homes as well aa a prac- tical pastime â€" and especiaJly adapted 1 1 this is the art of rug-makings â€" com- ing as it does from a background of early pioneer and colonial days. Home- made rugs draw attention because ot their traditional and historical asso- ciation and a revival of them under newer ideas should call forth wide- spread attention throughout th« prairies. ' Instead of the quaint pictures of Newfoundland dogs, bowla of cherries and baskets of kittens woven into th« ravelled and tufted rugs of bygfone days, these modern rugs show scene* of the west â€" a field of wheat-»« prairie farmstead' â€" the Red River valley. But their quaint old-fashioned beauty stirs memories of childhood when similar ovals graced the floors in grandmother's pioneer home. The executive expect wide represen- tation of the following classes of rugs: 1, hooked; 2, braided; 3, loom woven; 4, knitted; 5, crocheted; 6, needle wo- ven. Those made of prairie grown wool will be of particular interest. Snores of Tired Doctor Bring Police to Bedside 13,500-Foot Height Too Cool for Flier Perndale.
