The one principle is that of unity. The telegraph, the telephone, the motor car, the steamship, the aero- plane, the railroad have made this world one place, and, so far, that prin- ciple is sound. But the other principle we are try- ing to enforce is high tariff, arma~- ments, exploitation by capital, and ex- ploitation by labor, all of which are based on the principle of selfish in- dividualism. We cannot work both of these principles together. And when we finally get through this depression we will have been driven by war or bankruptc to choose one course or the other.

It is in the section devoted to models of devices patented by women that mere man found disproof of his contentions, Sixty-five women inventors from all parts of the country had models of their designs on display. The fact that the records of the U.S. Patent Office show that more than 15,000 patents have been issued to women in the last 16 years is cited as proof of the progress of the sex in the inventive fields. Although many of the models displayed are of household articles, a large number deal with the field of industrial arts. One of the most valuable of wo- men’s inventions to be seen at the Exposition is the Coston flare light, by the Coast Guard and mariners all over the world for signalling. It was invented and patented by Mrs. Martha J. Coston. Other inventions by wo- men include devices for increasing the comfort of travellers on railroad trains, improvements for roadbeds and rails, traffic signals and block signals. Navigation At Churchill Route November During the let days of October, the “Ocean Eagle,’ government tug stationed at Churchill, travelled far into the Arctic Ocean, nearly to the Arctic circle, and as far west as Fox Channel, and only sighted ice once during the trip, according to word brought down by sailors who have spent the summer in the Bay port. The trip through the Hudson Bay jand into the area that has been {described by eastern journals as | "Iceberg infested” proved to be en- | tirely routine. | Weather conditions were mild, and |no heavy seas were encountered; the only ice sighted was when they reached the northernmost point in their journey far out of Hudson Bay. | While weather conditions have been |unusually mild in the north country this fall, it is not considered unusual | among the natives of this area not to see. icebergs and snow until late in November. | Fox Channel, admittedly the most | difficult part of any trip to Churchill, was clear of ice in the middle of November.

Match Is Gradually Becoming Useless Will Soon Be Put In Same Class As Old Time Flint “What's that?” the child of the fu- ture may ask, when grandfather turns out the pocket of an old coat and finds a little stick with a red top on it which had got stuck in the lining. “That, my son,” the old sage will re- ply, “is a match.” “A match! What was it used for?” The grandpa will have to explain, just as the grandchildren of pioneers ex- plain to us how they got a light in the old days. The day, or rather the night, of the match is passing. There are homes in every city where there is no need to strike a match from one year’s end to the other. There is electric light, electric heat for the bath, electric cogking and an oil furnace which lights itself by simply deflecting a little lever. Father and son—and per- haps mother—light their smokes with a patent oil lighter. There is nothing in the house that a match would be any use for. It may not be very far off before matches will be as archaic as flints. The number of persons receiving poor law relief in England and Wales is decreasing.
