Congratulations, Canada! pahibtery will alv have the Wel- come sign out for Princess Kathleen and her twin sister, Princess Marguerite, who are to be regular visitors here in the future, The two new C. P. R. boats on the triangle run will cement still more firmly the bond of good fellowship between Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria. They bring the cities more closely to each other. One of the finest things on this coast is the friendliness between American and Canadian cities. We like them; they like us. Once in a while something bobs up— like the smallpox ban—that causes a rif- fle, but it’s soon smoothed over. Congratulations, Canada! Back to Nature IGNS of a back-to-the-land movement observed in the East, around the big cities. Seattle will feel it, sooner or later. People are starting to ask: “What's all the shooting for?” They are tired of city congestion; tired of dodging automobiles; Tiding on horrible affairs called street ears; parading, with thousands of others, along hot concrete roads thru a country hidden by billboards, Some day there will be a revolt, The : wiser ones will take what they have, go _ Away. somewhere into the miles and miles of virgin wonderland still left near Seattle and start life anew. Then they will find that in simplicity, not complica- “tion, happiness lies. * No Market for These like to see people selling things, hn nnsewsteewer-ossO ceersenecrnces [OOS E eee et OOO HT EEE HK COE Keema tener ren aosreone ae W because selling keeps money in cir- culation.

In spite of this he is kept three days without a trial and then thrown, dying, into a padded cell—and abandoned again. Now a coroner's jury wants the city council to do something about it. What the average man had better do is petition Providence to be kept out of the Seattle jail. If he expects the city council to do anything about it he is more optimistic than we are. School for All of Us CHOOL of education, University of Washington, i# experimenting with radio broadcasting, hoping to art classes over the air. Our advice to the school is: Pick a topical subject and let your professors tell folks about it in their homes, Mars’ visit last year and the recent. eclipse are examples. The University could well have educated thousands, interestingly and cheaply. Development of radio education will do much to dispel the idea of some that the university is somewhat of an expen- sive toy. If the average citizen can sit home in the evenings and learn some- thing from the institution which he pays to keep running he'll feel more friendly toward its expensive habi Heiress? Pooh!
