While many favor such contests as tendâ€" ing to promote physical fitness and an interest in sport there are others who do not look with favor upon them. The genéral manager of the Canadian National Exhibition has announced that the marathon swim will not become an annual evéent or be repeated in the future. He believes that the swim came at the psychoâ€" logical moment when interest in swimming was very high and that, as in the case of marathon racing, it will more or less die a natural death unless another great star should appear. Others condemn such gruelling races as injurious to the health.. Among these is Dr. Hastings, M.O.H. of Toronto. He does not apâ€" prove of swim marathons or any other kind of marathons. "The only redeeming feature of the swim marathon," he said in an interview, "is that it may stimulate a desire in the young to learn to swim, and absolutely nothing else is accomplished by it. The participants who take part, if they do not suffer immediately, will likely develop rheumatism or pneumonia." Dr. Hastings advocates legislation "to proâ€" hibit offering prizes for any kind of sport that can be demonstrated to be prejudicial to the health of any individual engaged in it." He firmly believes that marathon swimming and running are prejudicial in such contests. "Athletics in moderation are beneficial just the same as physical exercise and physical eduâ€" cation, but when they are carried to extremes there is likely to be an element of danger," he stated. That the first concrete step toward comâ€" bined Dominion and Provincial action in coâ€" operation with the British government, toâ€" wards providing farms for the placement of British settlers in Canada has been taken, is evident in the recent announcement by the Department of Immigration and Colonization for locating British settlers on the farms of New Brunswick. It is one of the settlement schemes arranged by Hon. Robert Forke, Minâ€" ister of Immigration and Colonization, when he was in Great Britain recently.

Mr. Dunning, one of the most capable and aggresive members of the Dominion govâ€" ernment, took occasion the other day to voice his criticism of the oldâ€"fashioned ideas held as to the status of the Dominions. Speaking to the visiting members of the British Press Asâ€" sociation, he said that he had not been impressâ€" ed with the fact that the Empire Marketing Board had got far enough away from the old idea that it was the business of the Colonies and Dominions to raise raw materials to be shipped to the central market to be manufacâ€" tured and that it was the duty of the Colonies and Dominions to buy the manufactured article. Mr. Dunning expressed the view that the idea was good in the old days but no longer held in the days of selfâ€"governing Dominions. He said he had pleaded with the British manuâ€" facturers to transfer to the Dominion, plants and portions of plants and their artisan genius, rather than allow others, sometimes outside the Empire, to gain a control of manufacturing in the Dominions which might possibly be permâ€" anent. During the past few years there has been a growing tendency to erect plants and mills at the source of the supply of raw materials to be utilized in the manufacture of certain commodities. The construction of big paper mills near the districtsâ€"where the pulpwood is located furnishes an instance of the new policy being followed by manufacturers. The point raised is one worthy of serious consideration. It would certainly appear to be good business policy to come to the market where the business is and manufacture comâ€" modities suitable to the market, as urged by the Minister of Railways and Canals. An important pronouncement was recently made by the United States Secretary of Agriâ€" culture when he declared that the United States Government is not prepared to underâ€" take control of farm prices and marketing. He says that this should be done by the farmers themselves organized in Fegional commodity stabilization organizations under the general guidance of a federal farm board. He made this statement in an article on stabilization on farm prices which appeared in the Farm Journal for | _ NEW POLICY BEING FOLLOWED | as red peppers, Just as soon as you apply Red Peppor Rub you will feel the heat.

I read both sides of the questions in which I am interested. I don‘t think it‘s just to read only one side. Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, who died recently at New York, thought a multiâ€"millionaire, was an exponent of the simple life. On Ocâ€" tober 9 of last year, when he passed his 80th milestone, he was interâ€" viewed by a number of reporters and his answers to their questions reâ€" vealed his idea of life. "Will you tell us then," someone asked, "how you have beenâ€" celeâ€" brating your birthday? When did you get up and what did you have forâ€" breakfast and for luncheon?" Questions came thick and fast. What does he think of Ford‘s five day week? He thinks it illogical and impractical. _ Has prohibition â€" inâ€" creased the efficiency of the Ameriâ€" can worker? It has, decidedly. What does he think of the proposed unionâ€" ization of the automobile industry? Not much. Labor union are becomâ€" ing too arbitrary. In England they have become radically wrong. As for retiring, well, he wouldn‘t blame his people for wanting to replace him with a younger and better man, but, so far, no such suggestion has ever been made to him. What is his favorite recreation? He still loves his farming and is very proud of his results. He raises crops of grain, hay, as well as eggs and chickens. He also raised a cow that will make a record for her class. He used to lqve shooting, but now his best sport is walking.

"I used to smoke considerably in college.
