SENIOR ENGLISH

The senior English classes under MT Jantzen have for the last seven weeks been debating each Monday in the. week. Teams were selected and a regu lar league has been held. Next Monday the last debate will be held, and the team winning will be the champion de- batting team in the school. This debate will be rather uneven because of the fact that there is only two on one side and three on the other. Lorain Seppla and Lindley Orme compose one team and Jose Duders, Stella Morden and Wiley Dunn cOmpos- the other The question for debate is Resolved that mosquito is more harmful to man. kind than fly. This debate promises to be the best during the year, as both teams will fight their hardest to win for the honor of being champion of the school.

LITTLE EFFORT
 WILL DO MUCH
 TO SAVE AUTO

An automobile owned by an alert and active man pays for itself quick ly," says G. H. Reuben, local agent for the Dort motor car. Estimating con- servatively, half hour each day is saved the typical business man through the use of his car. In the course of a working year of 312 days this means 156 hours, or about three weeks of his working time.
 Tt is not necessary to remind Mir Busyperson that a lot can be done in three weeks. Figure out what your own time is worth and you realize the importance of a half hour saved but go a little further. Consider the thing from the standpoint of public welfare With three million automobiles run ming in this country, an aggregate of one million, five hundred thousand hours time is thus saved each day
 Based upon six days work of nine hours per day, what does it amount to when you reduce this gross saving of time to actual money value? If the ownership of these three million auto

The feeling of apprehension which has unconsciously arisen concerning the manner and extent that general business. and particularly the automo- bile and rubber industries, will be af- fected by the entrance of the United States into the war, is very ably com mented on by G. M. Stadelman, vice. president of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company, Akron, Ohio.
 MT. Stadelman has just returned from q thorough canvas of the wars effect on Canadian business, which he made in the hope that a more definite idea might be formed of the conditions that our country must face and con- quer in the near future.
 Canada has gone through pre- ciSely the same conditions that now confront us, so the effect of the war there ought to be fairly indicative of what we may expect here" he declares. General business conditions are very satisfactory in Canada at the pres ent time.
 q found that in 1913 Canada had increased it's number of registered cars 16.7S0, or 3S per cent, against the 1912 registration, and during 1914 D., 070. or 36 per cent, as compared to 1915 War was declared August l, 1914, so that the last figures were lit tie affected thereby.
 Now after two and one-half years of warfare Canada is this year buying 100000 new motor cars, almost five times as many as were purchased dur ing 1914, and an increase of S5 per cent over the normal increase for 1913 and 1914.
 Every possible effort has been made to have Canadians save to help win the war. Ever since war was declared the people have been importuned to discourage the spending of money for things not absolutely necessary. The people are constantly confronted. with placards, post cards, letters, billpost- CTS, newspaper articles and every oth-

 And mind you it hasn't been doing merely occasional duty for pink teas and similar social functions but has mobiles represented only an average income of four dollars a day, six days a week, it amounts in currency to about S220000 day.

Dramatic Recovery of speecb.

An amazing case of recovered speech
has occurred at the Military hospital,
Nottingham, England. Several days
ago a sergeant named Harvey, who,
though a native of London, lived in
Canada for some years, went to a local
picture house to take in picture of
the battle of the Somme. At that time,
as result of having been shocked
by mine in France some weeks be
fore, his organs of speech were para
lyzed. On returning to the hospital
he went to bed and dreamt the whole
representation over again, including
a most realistic mine explosion, and
when he awOke he had partially recoy-
cred the use Of his paralyzed organs.
Later, when interviewed, it was found
that he was able to talk quite clearly,
and expressed great delight at his re
covery, which caused peculiar satisfac-
ton to the medical staff as well as
to nurses and comrades in arms.
Though numerous cases of dumbness
through mine explosions and shell
shocks have been admitted to this hos
pital, this is the first time that a recov-
cry has been made under circum-
stances so dramatic,

Poverty and Disease

Investigations into the working and
living conditions of the 10000, 00O
Wage-earners of the United States has
revealed many things which are de-
plorable, especially among the IN
skilled low-paid group of workers. In
spite OF recent improvement in many
industrial establishments the fight
against fnsanitary conditions is still
an uphill one. Recent sanitary sur
veys show that the elimination of
health hazards from industry is not
thing to be expected in the near fu-
ture.
OF greater importance is the inabil-
ity of considerable proportion Of the
wage-earners of the country to main
tain healthful standard of living on
the wages received. In all investiga-
tons the vicious circle of poverty as
cause and effect OF disease is found.

REALLY DROVE OUT DEVILS
How Christianity Expelled Evil Spirits
of Ignorance and Disease From
Filthy Korean City.

In Pyeng Wang, 8 city surrounded
by river and resembling a boat in
shape, it was believed that if anyone
should venture to dig well the water
would rush in, sinking the boat and
drowning all the eity's inhabitants.
Needless to say, no wells We're dug
The streams washed the filth of the
city down into the river Then the
watermen filled their buckets at the
river and sold ''drinking-water''
throughout the city.
Constantly recurring epidemics were
the result But the people did not
blame the dirt. They blamed the devils.
1t was the duty of every Korean doc
tor TO know the 800 places where the
human body could be pierced with a
red-hot needle without causing death.
The needles were from three to twelve
inches in length, and the doctor was
supposed to know how deep they
should be thrust. The purpose of the
probing was TO let out the devils which
caused the disease.
When Christianity came to Korea, it
brought hygiene and medicine along
with it A hospital or dispensary was
not known in Korea until founded by a
Christian missionary.
The Japanese government is now
splendidly following with the estab-
Hshment of hospitals and medical
schools.
Fine waterworks systems have been
Installed, and the sort of water that
gushes from this hydrant in Pyeng
Yang is stated to have reduced the
death rate by 20 per cent.
The old boat city of Pyeng Yang is
now undertake with a network of
sewers.
