In despair of ever seeing the cOnSt-
tuition amended so that the day of the
Inauguration shall be April goth in
stead Of March 4th. one Washington
paper suggests that in 1909, the new
President takes the oath of Office upon
March 4. as required by the cOnstitu-
ton. but that all the public ceremonies.
such as the parade ball. etc, be ar
ranged for April 80. We can hardly
believe that Il plan like this would work.
Such a change would be an unsatisfac-
tory halfway measure. and nothing less
than an anticlimax. warmed-oVer
ceremony two months, after the new
President had assumed his office. wOnld
arouse little general interest. and it
ould he Il difficult job to pump even
local enthusiasm into it. The best way
to remedy the thing is to keep pound
ing away at the demand for change
in the constitution, so that the day Of
Inauguration will be April 80. This
would not only allow the Inauguration
ceremonies to take place at a pleasant
or season when the people would enjoy
themselves more and run less risk of
pneumonia, but it would also allow a
longer working session Of Congress, a
change which is greatly needed.

General Chaffee. the head of the
American army. has issued an order
that hereafter every enlisted soldier
who has not mastered the art of SWIM
ming must acquire it without delay.
This does not mean that our whole
regular army is anticipating any such
experience as made General Funston
and his men famous in the Philippines.
but it is a recognition of the truth that
ten art Of swimming is one of the ne
cessities of active life, and not merely
a pastime or luxury. 1t would be a
splendid thing II this compnlsion ex-
tended beyond the army, and all Of our
children. girls as we'll as boys, were
educated in the public schools in the
art Of swimming. AS the spring sea-
son comes on the newspapers will be
filled with accounts Of drowning acct
dents. people who lose their lives while
bathing or boating. and all because
they had not mastered the elemental
art Of keeping afloat in the water until
! help could reach them. not to mention
swimming to place of safety. Chill
dren who cannot walk count for little.
Iwo-thirds of the earth's surface is
water and most of us are upon the wa
Ter more or less during our lives. No
bodied boy or girl is incapable Of
learning to swim. 1t comes most ma
.! tu.ally II a chance Is given. and :, .,
mite less than sin to deprive the
children OF chance to learn.

Don't You give your heart the same
chance you do the other organs?
Why Because when any other organ
is in trouble. it refuses to work. and you
hasten to repair it.
The heart the ever faithful servant,
never refuses AS long az 1t has power to
move, but continues to do the best it can,
getting weaker and weaker. until IL is
past repair, and then stops. 1t is just as
sick as the other organs, but because it
will work you let il.

THE CANADIAN BIRTH RATE
French Population Has the High

The birth statistics Of Montreal,

The birth statistics Of the rural dis
