JUNE 6, 1929. amount during April, 1929, (partly as a result of the early date of Easter Sunday this year) but was more active than in April, 1928. The increase, as compared with a year ago, reflected heavier ship- ments of commodities both by rail and water, in- creased automobile sales, and more active trade at wholesale. Sales at retail approximated those of last year. ' What with airplanes coming and going and & one-man water trip between here and Seattle in a race against the time of the big passenger liners and a yacht race from Olympia to Juneau coming up, this is becoming something of a headquarters for transportation on a basis that would surprise some of those Klondiker stampeders of thirty years ago.

Canada defintely has refused to enter into an agreement with the United States which would place upon the Dominion Government responsi- bility for keeping America dry. The Ottawa Gov- ernment officially has refused to prevent the clear- ance of rum-laden ships bound for the United States. So ends, for the present at least, Canadian- American negotiations toward international coopera- tion in crushing the border rum-runners and the $30,000,000 booze business will go forward.

Well, there’s one consolation, it isn't possible to be wrong any of- tener than all the time, which it comes pretty close to being. Still, the old almanac makers predicted it a year in advance, and occasionally they were lucky enough to have it turn out according to their dope.

The natural inference is that the rock was thrust up from the floor of the sea by an earthquake. Earthquakes have a way of doing that sort of thing now and then up where the sun swings north. And that suggests that wire-dragging might very well be made a permanent Government industry in some parts of the waters of Alaska. Whole islands have been thrust above the surface before now in those parts.

PARTIES IN GREAT BRITAIN. The Conservatives lost about 160 seats in the English elections last Thursday. The Laborites gain- ed 125 and the Liberals gained 35. While figures are lacking it is safe to say that the Liberals have many fewer seats than their total votes would naturally entitle them to. That has been the case for many years. In the present Parliament the Lib- erals have one member for each 76,000 votes cast. connection include the huge expense of attempting to enforce' the liquor-export provision and the fear “that every cove on the great lakes and Atlantic and Pacific seaboards would become smugglers’ hang- outs.” But chiefly the Dominion Government’s objection is that such official prohibition on that Govern- ment's part would place on Canadian rather than on American shoulders the responsibility for keeping America dry. It is claimed by the Canadian authorities to be) the certainty that no policing of the border could | subdue the liquor smugglers, and that interna- of this smuggling once Canada had accepted the responsibility of banning shipment. Utilizing the Ex-Prisoner. (New York World.) The proposal to name Henry L. Brock, a former prisoner in the Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsyl- vania, to the Board of County Prison Inspectors for Philadelphia County is not only novel but appears highly sensible. Brock was sent to prison as a result of a fatal automobile accident, the general belief at the time having been that he pleaded guilty to Second Ditto—How does she get that weigh?

More or Less True Nothing amuses a mere man News runs about the same ' from |more than seeing two women get ,togethcr when both are determined not to do any of the listening. A good appetite is a fine thing for a man to have if he can afford to hire a cook so it won’t be spoiled by hearing his wife blahing about, what a martyr she is having to spend so much time in the kitchen. . The kind of a husband every woman wants is one who makes so much she wouldn't have to con- sider a new washing machine a more practical present than a dia- mond necklace. Well, with the feminine hosiery either rolled down or discarded al- together, it looks as if the wife of the manufacturer of garters is going to hear the bad news she's got to cut out spending money until business picks up again. About the only thing chiidren will let you do for them these days is finance 'em. The impression a lot of women give you is that they would rather learn the secret of how to be beau- tiful than the secret of how to bej: happy, though married. ‘Why shouldn’t men get an eyeful of a woman—she can't pass a mir- ror without stopping to get an eye- ful of herself.

And when you have answered the The Laborites have one member for each 36,000 various indictments in order to shield somebody questions what a whale of a lot she votes cast and the Conservatives one vote for each felse. He was in no sense a criminal type. He had |can tell you. 20,000 votes. In the 1923 election the Liberals cast more than 10,000,000 votes and won 158 seats. The Laborites won 192 seats with 4,500,000 votes and the Conservatives 257 seats with 7,700,000 votes. It will be seen that in order to win in a three party con- test it would be necessary for the Liberals to have an overwhelming majority of the popular votes. This situation is the result of two things. First, of course, are the “rotten borroughs” where only a few votes clect a member. These are almost wholly Conservative seats. Another reason is that the Liberal Party is probably the most nearly a Na- tional Party of the three parties. It has a large number of votes in all constituencies—both those that are naturally Conservative and those that are Laborite as well as those which it carries itself. On the other hand, there are scores of con- stituencies where there are practically no Laborite votes at all and there are many other constitu- encies which are almost wholly Labor and Liberal. Lloyd George has made minority representation one of the Liberal Party issues for several years, It is probable that he will make the acceptance of the issue a part of the price of Liberal support that will be necessary to uphold a Labor Government. If that point should be gained, the Liberals will hereafter have far more members than they have had in any of the last several Parliaments. THE EXPORT DEBENTURE PLAN. The export debenture feature of the Farm Relief Bill about which there has been so much con- troversy, simply explained, is a provision that would permit an American exporter of agricultural products to collect from the United States one-half of the amount of the tariff he would have to pay if he had imported the products. For instance, the tariff on wheat is 42 cents a bushel. If an American farmer exported wheat he would be entitled to collect, under the debenture feature, 21 cents a bushel from the United States Government. The proposition needs only to be stated to show that it is outrageous. However, the principle in- volved is not different from that of a tariff that taxes the consumer in order to add to the price of the producer’s products. TWELI*'I‘IT DISTRICT INDUSTRIES PROSPER. According to Isaac B. Newton, Chairman of the Board and Federal Reserve Agent for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, with headquarters at San Francisco, continued aggressive expansion of indus- try and moderate activity in trade marked the month of April and the early weeks of May in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. Demand for credit increased and, by mid-May, member bank loans were higher than ever before. The expansion in volume of credit in use was largely in loans for commercial purposes, although loans on securities advanced to near the peak levels of last March. The District's supply of funds increased substantially during the weeks preceding May 15, however, and despite the growth of member bank loans demand for credit at the Reserve Bank was reduced to the lowest Jevels of the current year. Industry, in the aggregate, continued the rapid growth which has characterized the productive ac- tivities of the District since the middle of 1928. The present high level of activity chiefly reflects heavy - production schedules in the lumber, paper and pulp, "lron and steel, copper, and petroleum industres. B Output of cement and of food products was smaller last month than a year ago. Trade expended by less than the usual seasonal been a banker and a prominent man. During the three years that he spent in prison before he was pardoned he became active in helping those about him to learn trades and to become honest. Since he has been out he has kept up this work and is said to have accomplished a great deal. That he would be an uncommonly useful member of the board is obvious. One such person, genuinely in- terested in reclaiming human beings, can do more than a dozen who take their duties only casually. Laughing at One’s Self. (New York Times.) The latest dreaded American invasion of England is that of our humor. Ian Hay, in a recent lecture before the International Congress of Military Medi- cine, deplored the influence of transatlantic Jokes on the audiences in British music halls. He thought that they were tending slowly to corrupt the ancient sense of humor in Great Britain, Attempting again to define distinctions which do not really exist, the lecturer asserted that American humor is highly artificial and calculated. It is not 50 spontaneous as the British. We in this country revel in wild exaggerations, and are all the time secking to make fun at the expense of somebody else. British humor is of a drier, more repressed ‘s:;rtr amlit consists, more often than not, in a kind aculty of self-criticism rather than at others. Ty SR N it No neat little formula of this kind canbe made to fit the. fun-making of one country without ap- plying to that of the other, at least in some de- gree. Americans may have a tendency to think foreigners ridiculous and to make merry at them, but they certainly do not spare their own mlsl‘ort‘unes and mischances. If it comes to that, indignant Am- erican humorists will stand up to the British and say that if there is any laughing to us, we will do it ourselves, : s U When the leading individual of t) 1 his neighbor- hood saw an article in the paper the ot.hei b::y that said prohibition cannot survive in a free coun- try he said in his gloomy way: “B ' us?"—(Ohio State Journal.) s O Another thing this country needs besides a good five-cent cigar is a law to s prevent 80 to Cuba from sending back postcardgezrt]t; :it:: tures of bock beer signs on ‘em.
