Civil Service Control Promising Field For Cutting Down Governmental Costs : a1 in provincial and municipal istrations was held up by the Citizens ch Insti- tute of Canada promising tleld for cutting governmenta costs and improving governmental eff ye The possibilities for substa ovement were aU ested in the t the provinces now spend 40,- 000.000 a year on salaries and wages. nd the municipalities: 150 000,000.

If each provinc had a Civil Service Com- mission like that in the Federal field, establishing standards and eligible lists for municipal employment as well as provincial, Canada would have taken a long step forward in setting her house in order, the in- stitute said. Tt suggested the professional, ing of municipal services, the pro: motion of officers from one munici pality to another to establish mi cipal service as a career, the gradual elimination of favoritism and local polities from appointments and the setting. up of a sound pensions scheme. fn the provincial-municipal field, much will have to be done if Canada is-to-have-an-efficient-and eeonemie public service, the institute said. Any nation-wide inquiry which does not give adequate attention to this field must fall short of a nation-wide plan of public economy. Forgot About The Ice Explanation Of Temperance Advo- cate Was Not Good Enough A man famous for his zealous ad- voeation of the cause of temperance employed a carpenter to make some: alterations in his home. In repair ing a corner it was found necessary to remove the wainscot, when some things were brought to light which greatly astonished the workman. Glasses, sundry liquor bottles, a bow of ice, etc., were cozily reposing in their snug quarters. The carpenter yan to his employer with the intelli- gence. Well, I declare, man. That is curious, Jt must be old Captain Bunce who left thos: things there when he occupied the premises thirty years ago. Perhaps he did, returned the dis- coverer, but that ice in the bowl exclaimed) the must have been well frozen to re-) main unmelted. Wall Street Jounal. No New Frontier To Which Men Can Turn To Get A Fresh Start One of the things which have made the depressions of the thirties diffi- cult to deal with is the lack of a frontier. Formerly, when things got bad, when employment vanished and people became desperate, it was al- by hook or crook, to ways possible, get away to the West or the North and start over again. The frontier furnished an outlet, an incentive, and the Iong climb out of the depths was undertaken. frontier to which meh can turn. Vancouver Province. An Undesirable Record A. Bernard Leckie, crime investigator, says one out of eyery 25 U.S, citizens has a criminal record, That sounds like a record, too, but it's high time, as people often said a few years back, to put on another record.

R, Anderson, talking to housewives of Dagenham, strongly condemned gossips and front gate conferences, Perhaps Mr. Anderson didn t think deeply enough before he spoke, it is an age-old, masculine that women gossip and men don't. If you go into the four-ale bar you will tind men gossiping twenty to the dozen. You will find it in the Lobby-of the House of Commons. You will find it in the Athenaeum (and the bishops are the worst ) You will find it in a ship's engine- room and you will find it in a front- line trench. The only difference between men and women here is that men organ- ize themselves to find comfortable places to do-it in Gossip is an exchange of news and ideas.

CANADA'S NATIONAL GAME INSPIRES YOUNGSTERS IN OLD LAN Ice hockey has become one of the most popular Winter sports in the Mother Country, so much .so that the youngsters have adopted a summer sport called roller hockey patterned on ice hockey.

There are still cowboys who can vide in Madison Square Garde jeos but ws d the J other day that some cattlemen are now using airplanes: for herding. Lumbermen haye radios and play golf. However, what one was think- ing of was-an incident in the rail- road yards at Buffalo the other da when the engineer fireman and con- ductor of the Twentieth Century Limited, together with two polic men, worked for half an hour to ex- tract a perplexed but unharmed hobo from behind the tender of a modern streamlined train. He had sot tangled in the coupling hose a disgraceful procesding. The railroad hobo of former days was a skilled acrobat. He would wait in the yards until a freight train was pulling out and the rail- way bull had gone by; then he would swing neatly on to the rods, evading the hungry wheels. He would ride the bumpers in the darkness of night. He would install himself luxuriously between. the tender and the front end of the baggage car, and ride blind baggage, which was apparently what the poor fellow at Buffalo was trying to do. But the streamlined passenger train of to-day is appar- Jently too much for him, and the streamlined freight train of tomor- row will be even worse, He will take to the roads. in a battered flivver, as many of his kind have done, or he will sink, like a tired high school boy, to thumbing rides.

Young Folk Worry Troubles Of Many Kinds Beset The Young Pegple In this day and age of care-free youth it would seem impossible that there are any young people given to worry, and yet such seems to be the case. Dr, James Page of the University of Rochester, conducted a survey that throws a disturbing light on the mental reactions of youth. Worries of many different kinds beset these young people who might be taken vas a fair cross-section of the young people of the nation. It was found that a certain number of the girls were distressed because they thought they were not popular. About ten per cent, of male and female students jhad a fear of death. Three per cent. of the boys worried because they thought they might be adopted chil- dren. A large number of both sexes were distressed by the fear that they would have no financial security in the world, Some were disturbed by the possibility of assuming responsi- bilities after graduation; a number worried over the circumstance that they would have to support their par- ents in old age. Two per cent. of the men and four per cent. of the women had a horror of going insane. Here is food for thought, and ac- tion, One of the unfortunate fea- tures, however, is the fact that youth: dislike telling about their fears. They are akin to the older folk who do not go to the doctor for fear they will fearn what is the matter with them. Some reaction is apparently neces- sary. It is possible that the schools of the land would be the proper place to instill into the minds worry preventa- tive knowledge. Short lectures on. worry, its cause and cure, might not be amiss; at least they would work well into the new curriculum under which students are taught to think for themselves rather than to accept that which they read or hear as truth.
