In Hot Weather, Self Control
is a Great Boon to Women

''There is no virtue in driving your motor
car successfully on q road when there is
nothing in sight" heard a father say to
his daughter recently, and the philosophy
of the remark sunk into my mind. What
he meant was that there Is no merit in
doing anything when there are no obstacles
to be avoided. This is true. 1t is only
when we have accomplished something by
foresight, judgment or self-control that We
are entitled to credit
A comment Of woman during the ex-
cessivey hot weather brought the first to
my memory again.

summer more than in winter" she declared

satisfaction out OF being snappy, / have
made a point OF controlling my temper,
and we are a much more pleasant house
hold. It is not easy. but do it. and that
is the main thing"
That woman had learned one OF the big
lessons OF life. She has driven her motor
car with a big obstacle in the road, to re-
vert 10 the remark OF the parent. II every
one gave way TO snappiness when they felt
like It there would be many a collision on
the road Of life. The woman who controls
her temper steers around an obstacle.

Higher Prices Under Free
Trade

1t is stated by the London Express"
that in the meat trade of England a
situation of almost unparalleled serious
ness has developed ; that such short
age of supplies exists that a further
increase in prices has become newt
able.
The National Federation of Meat
Traders of England has issued the fol-
lowing notice:
'In view of the greatly increased
price of all descriptions of meat, both
British produced and imported, to the
retailer, owing to the short supplies OF
cattle with the largely reduced arriv-
ais of live stock from the United States
of America and Canada, the National
Federation of Meat Traders Associa-
tion (incorporated) find it necessary to
info-m the public that retail butchers
will be compelled to put up prices all
round. There are no indications that
meat will be cheaper for some time to
come. the sources of supply having
Deen SO SERIOUSLY uepIeeeu.
The Express blames this condi-
ton largely upon the British policy OF
free trade, under which it says: "We
have year by year become more and
more dependent on foreigners for our
meat supply. No encouragement has
been given to British agriculture, with
the result that when such crisis as
that with which the trade is now faced
~ arises, the nation has no reserve to fall
back on, and high prices, with conse-
quent dear living, are the result.
"When supplies are plentiful, for
eign imports practically sweep the
products of British farms out of the
market, and it cannot be wondered AT
that the British farmer finding il prac-
tically impossible to compete with the
millions of pounds worth Of imported
meat, has steadily decreased the in
terest he once had in the trade
So it comes to pass that when foreign
supplies are scant, there is nothing in
Great Britain to make up the shortage
Consumers are confronted with the al
evernative of paying extremely high
prices, if they can. or doing without
meat.
This is something for the tariff-re-
duction faddist who try to argue that
putting meat on the free list wolld
effect reduction of prices in this coun-
try, to put in their pipes for thought
