REVIEW. DRUMHELLER. ALBERTA The Leader for Over Forty Veils TEA “Fresh from the Gardens” The School | Of Popacenck People learn their most important and valuable lessons in the school of experience. It is a school that opens at birta and closes with death, and there are no vacation periods. We are passing through some experience at all times, and we are imbibing knowledge, learning something as a result. It may be that, like lessons learned in school and from books, we may for- get some of the lessons of experience, for a time at any rate; even more frequently we may ignore and neglect the lessons which experience has taught us; nevertheless they have left their imprint upon our minds and have influenced our lives for weal or for woe. It not infrequently happens that a short, sharp lesson is learned never to be forgotten from some one brief. experiencé. Something enters our. lives,—it may be a great sorrow or a great joy,—which then and there alters the whole course of our lives. On the other hand, it is often the case that in order that a lesson may be effectively learned, the experience which is teaching it may. be greatly prolonged in order that it may be impressed upon us in the way that is necessary. And while individuals may learn a lesson from some experience very quickly, it is usually a much slower pro- cess for communities and nations to so learn and profit by experience. _ Consider the present economic upheaval throughout the world, now con- tinuing into its fifth or sixth year. Some people, no doubt, learned valuable lessons from it during the first twelve-month of its duration; others have learned as the months and years have gone. by. Communities and nations have learned some lessons, and some have, of course, learned more and faster than others. All are.still learning; learning perhaps a little more thoroughly now than they were two and three years ago. But it Is quite evident that the nations have not yet grasped, or at any rate accepted, the great truths which the Great Depression has been teaching any more than they grasped, or accepted, the great truths which the Great War should have impressed upon all mankind. Possibly it is because man has not yet Jearned the lessons, or at least -accepted the teachings of the existing depressed etonomic state, that the depression is so greatly prolonged and still continues. There are certain lessons which the nations of mankind must learn, and not only learn but put their learning and knowledge into practical effect, before the depression will be overcome. The longer the depression continues the more forcibly it 1s teaching those lessons. They are lessons being learned through a bitter experience, but it is the stupidity and unwillingness of man to learn obvious lessons that is prolonging that bitter experience. ‘The four years of death, horror, suffering and destruction of the Great War, together with its aftermath of trouble and losses, of which the pres- ent chaotic economic and financial situation is a part, have not taught the nations the utter futility of war. Surely they appreciate the teachings of the Great War and its outcome, but they absolutely will not take the lesson to themselves, with the result that the world is trembling to-day on the very brink of another terrible war. But while the. nations may thus be much slower than individuals to learn lessons they should learn and profit by, people in all countries are learning and in time their thoughts and their influence will direct the nations. It is, of course, much more difficult to bring a whole group or nation to accept a great truth as the result of experience than it is to get a few individuals to accept it. Individuals are now in ever increasing numbers learning valuable lessons as a result of the experiences through which they are passing,—lessons which will not be easily forgotten but which will leave their impress on several generations to come. It will take time to translate their views into community and national life and action. That _ evolutionary process, nevertheless, is under way. It is inevitable, too, that out of the experiences of a transition period such as the present, many ideas and theories will be advanced in all sin- cerity and seriousness ag the solution of existing ills. It has always been s0 in all transition periods in the world’s history, and it will probably con- tinue to-be.so at all times of marked change. The mental processes of peo- ple are quickened by the experiences through which they are passing, but in numerous cases this merely results in the adoption of faddist or extreme ideas, and these, advanced as cure-alls for existing ills, are, generally speak- ing, mutually destructive the one of the other. Clear thinking, therefore, is one of the most essential. requirements in . times like'the present. Our experiences should teach us not to act hastily, ‘They should recall to us that we made great mistakes in the mounting days of prosperity, and they should put us on guard against committing other and equally great mistakes under the influence of a-great depression. It is never wise to reach definite and far-reaching decisions beyond recall when we are elther on the mountain peaks or at the bottom of the deep valleys. In a word, in the school of experience we should learn that it is most important, vitally so, that we order and control our thinking powers, and apply them to the practical problems at hand in full realization of the fact that, while there is no short cut to betterment and perfection, betterment can be obtained by practical, united effort, while what now may be regarded as ideal will, if and when realized, prove to be but a stepping stone to a still nobler ideal.

Millions Made By Forgery But Sclence Has Done Much To Ald In Detection “Between “the scientist and the forger a relentless battle’ of wits is being waged.. And although the re- formed-crook likes telling the public that dishonesty does not pay, the forger is always one move ahead of the scientist. The Statistical Bureau of the League of Nations, estimates that this lead costs society approx!- | mately twenty million dollars a year. | That 1s the sum which forgers man- age successfully to amass at the ex- pense of the ‘public and thé” State. It is only of late years that science has been called upon to ‘co-operate with the police in the detection ‘of forgeries. This is specially true in England, for ‘even to-day England bas nothing to compare to the clabor- | ately equipped - laboratories which | the French police have at their dis- posal in every important town. ‘Until quite recently it was still possible to get away with the easiest and clumsiest form of forgery, which consists in rubbing or scraping out a figure or a name, polishing the rough- ened surface, and writing in a ‘higher figure ‘or a different name. To day chemists have discovered that by ex- posing the paper to iodine vapor, the condensed iodine permeates the dara- aged surface and forms a blot., This simple but infallible test re- quires no special’ apparatus, and can easily be applied by. anyone. In many foreign banks handling large num- bers of “travellers’ cheques,” which are the forgers’ happy hunting ground, cashiers are supplied with special iodine capsules which re- quire only the heat of a match to give off sufficient vapour to test any cheque which they may have reason to suspect. The activity of the forger is not confined to the “dud” cheque or banknote. The manufacture of spuri- ous works of art and ‘paintings was until recently, probably the most lucrative branch of crooked. skilful- ness. But it is in this field that sclence can be said’at last to have won the upper hand. It art experts were to make full use of all the re- sources science has put at their dis- posal since the. discovery of the X-ray, there need never be another faked painting on the market.” Exhibition Is Is Unusual | Many Interesting Exy Exploration ‘etica Being Shown In London The polar exhibition opened re- cently by the Royal United Service Institution in London -is attracting many visitors for the exhibits include exploration relics from the days of Frobisher:and Cook to those of Scott and Shackleton.. Among them is the camera which ‘took the photographs of the south pole, Amundsen'’s flag and reckonings which told Scott that he had been forestalled, and the Union Jack which was hoisted at the pole. Another exaibit is the last stock of food carried by Scott and his companions, including the curry pow- der which, Scott found gave him in- digestion. Native Flowers Wider Use In Gardens Of Canada Is Urged. Wider use of native flowers in Canadian gardens was urged at Tor- onto at the closing session of the Ontario’ Horticultural Association's annual convention by Mr. J. A. Wil- sca, of Ottawa. The Rocky Mountains are full of wild flowers that. have not been cul- tivated, many of them being varieties thut would be {deally qualified to prosper in a rockery, she stated. The Canadian Way The Detroit Free Press says: “The temperate but firm tone of the re- port of conditions at-the Children’s Aid Society Shelter at Windsor which hag been made by the Deputy Minister of Public Welfare for On- fers is impressive. What a-con- rast to the average governmental fvediigation in this country! Where we get talk and headlines for the newspapers, the Canadians get. sober judgment and vigorous action.” Tenant—‘I'm sorry that I can't pay you this month.” Landlord—"But you said that last month and several montis before that.” ‘Tenant—‘Yes and didn't I keep my word?” Urges Water Survey Speaker Advocates Spending Public Money On Building Dams In Saskatchewan Asserting this was not the time for large expenditures ‘of public money on bulldings of a non-productive na- ture ,and commending the Saskatche- wan government for its proposals contained in the specch from the |throne to survey the provincial water | situation, W. G. Ross, K.C., of Moose Jaw, urged the necessity of increas- ing the water surface of the province. Mr, Ross was principal speaker at the annual banquet of the Saskatoon branch of the Saskatchewan Fish and Game league. Recent press despatches, ‘Mr. Ross observed, indicated the federal gov- ernment was considering a: $50,000,- 0C0 works’ programme throughout the Dominion, of which Sasks*chewan would get something less than $+- 000,000. It also was intimated the money would be devoted to erection of public buildings. Regina, it was sald, was seeking some $3,000,000 alone for such purposes. et, the speaker ‘continued, the erection of these buildings simply added to the expense of government which already cost too much. Such works would help eastern industrial interests, but convey little ‘benefit to Saskatchewan. But, he stated, the Saskatchewan drought -problem was one which affected’ the whole nation. By the poverty of the west, the east was de- prived of lucrative markets. The re- Nef problem was growing. Some- thing of immediate benefit to the west should be done. Mr. Ross outlined a plan for the building of 16 dams in various parts of the province at a cost of $1,500,- 000, which would provide work for those on relief, generally better the climatic condition of the province and ultimately bring the greatest benefits to the residents of the prov- ince. Service For Visitors Police Interpreters Now Stationed On Streets In Paris Police interpreters: speaking four languages are now being used by the Paris police department in order to assist visitors. They are stationed at central points in Paris and are maintaining a regular daily service. Each wears a badge ,bearing the colors‘of the nation whose language he! speaks. Jean Chiappe, recently dismissed Prefect of Police, has maintained a school of foreign lanz- uages at the Prefecture. of - Police which members’ of the force bave been eligible to attend. Fortune For Medical Science The Mayo brothers have given a fortune to medical science because they believe riches in private hands often spell.ruin for’ coming genera- tions.. Drs. William J. and Charles H, Mayo, surgeons, gave $500,000 to the University of Minnesota. They said the ynoney came from the sick “and we believe it ought to return to the sick.” The Strong Man in a circus gets paid for carrying five or six people, while merchants “carry” bundreds, and are often never paid. .

DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO It LASTS and LAST'S |" Dominion Drama Festival Second Festival To Be Hold In The Little Theatre, Ottawa The second Dominion Drama Festl- val will be held in the Little Theatre, Ottawa, in the last week of April, when teams from all ‘over the coun- try will present plays in competition for the trophy presented by His Ex- cellency, the Earl of Bessborough, governor general of Canada. During the weeks prior to the festival elimi- nation contests are being held throughout Canada. Rupert Harvey, @ distinguished English actor who was the adjudicator at the final com- petition in Ottawa last year is travel- ling across the Dominion acting as judge in the various eliminations. Preliminary competitions are being held at Halifax, Saint John, Quebec, Halifax, Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto, London, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmon- ton, Vancouver and other places. In many instances it has been found necessary, so great is the interest aroused to have eliminations prior even to those upon which Mr. Harvey will adjudicate. i From about 120 entrants it will be necessary for the adjudicator to select representatives of all the prov- inces to compete in the final compet!- tion at Ottawa. ‘It is probable that the central committee of the festival will issue sufficient invitations to make a full week of performances in Ottawa. J. T. Grein, one of the most dis- tinguished figures in the English theatre and a well-known London critic, has been secured as the ad- fudicator at the final competition. Tae stimulus which has been given | to the community drama ‘by the in-/ auguration of the festival by His Ex.| cellency, the Governor General. of Canada, has exceeded the highest hopes. In almost every instance, and despite the difficulty of the fimes, the older organizations have largely | inereased memberships and here, jthere and everywhere new groups are being formed. Favors Mild Inflation Adoption of a modified system of codes similar to that used in the United States, mild inflation, raising of commodity prices, state control of | business from a modifying and regu- |lating point of view, and clear think- }ing as a means of returning Canada |to an economic state of prosperity | were advocated by Premier Brown- ‘tee in addressing a’ banquet of the |Alberta provinclal board of the Re- jeatt Merchants’ Association. | Motorists Pay The Shot Alberta motorists contributed $24.10 | of every $100 cash receipts: collected | by Alberta in 1932-33, according to) |a statement issued by the Alberta) |Motor Association. Of this amount] $11.90 out of every $100 represented gasoline tax, while tae balance was |collected in registration and license fees. | In planting ornamental trees and shrubs, scientists advise that there will be less troubl¢ with diseases and pests if a varlety of species are used.

L. An- thes, president of the Canadian Manufacturers’ Association, said in addressing the Canadian Hardware convention and exposition delegates at Toronto. Major Anthes said the proposed building programme throughout the country would stimulate industry. “It is obvious that such a programme will help your’ busiiess and it will help ours,” he said. “It will give work to many thousands and put. money in circulation, “We believe that our export trade will continue to increase in 1934. We have turned an adverse balance into a favorable balance of very large pro- portions. Canadian exporting firms are putting forth extraordinary efforts to maintain and extend the markets for their goods in other countries. If their hopes are realized“ they will bring much business and, consequently, much employment to Canada during this year.” Vanishing Fortunes American Millionaires Reduced - To Five.
