From what We can make out. Thompson IS not the kind of man that soldier will waste any sympathy on. When they get after his ilks, there is no argument with them. Action is what counts and they talk about it afterwards
 A real soldier who is prepared to give his life for his country: does not suffer anyone to assist his enemy: and whoever does, he becomes one of the enemy, and between enemies in war, life is in jeopardy. When Thompson provided protection last Sunday to those who were trying 70 combine to hamper the government, he posi- .ively declared himself an enemy to the soldiers. According to that his escape with his life yeSter day may De said to have been by the skin of his teeth.

MAGIC MIRROR FOR PORTRAITS

Many of the portraits in the Royal Acad-
emy this year shine like advertisements for
metal polish. 1t is fashion which began
to spread last year though the first widely
known example of this illumination was Mr..
Orpen's portrait of the Marchoness of
Headfort in the first war academy The
sheen is obtained by placing looking glass
in such position that the shadow side of
the sitter's face is lit up by the reflection.
In some cases the part of the face lighted
by the reflection is almost brighter than
that on which the light falls direct The
reason for this is that the position of the
mirror does away with cast shadows. Mr..
Orpen is almost the inventor of this
scheme in lighting. In the case of the por-
trait mentioned the effect was heightened
by the dark background, which gave an
almost transparent quality to the flesh,
In this years academy Mr.. George Henry
seems to have used the glass in most of his
portraits. In one Of them he has a com
plcated scheme which includes light from
three sides, the mirror in this case being
represented on the canvas. There are MANY
minor experiments with the glass, but MIR
Henry seems to have made the best use Of
the mirror. II is to be hoped that looking

MAX ARoN AND HIS ASSOCIATES

TT is unfortunate that the criminal
J. statutes provide no penalty for the
trickery INDUCED in by Max Aron and his
associates in an effort to defeat the Salus
bill, a measure which, in the opinion Of
the Mayor and his advisers, is vital TO the
interests Of the city. What a spectacle,
The law-making machinery of a great
Commonwealth Is signuled TO a dead stop
and its functioning processes dried up
temporarily by the infamous activity of
a trustee Of the people, true not to them
but to the school of politics in which he
has been trained, where stiffness passes
for bnlliancy and truth is a Cinderella!
1t appears that Max Aron was the
dummy Of more powerful conspira tors
These fellows can't get out from under
and leave me to bear the brunt of this
thing" he is reported to have said this

chastisement by repudiating the con.
splrators wherever and whenever here

For the conspiracy to succeed would
be for the House to plead guilty TO con.
donement Of and participation in this
legislative crime. 1t can save its own
face only by running its machinery, when
reassembled, at top speed and passing the
Salus bill, The technical necessity for
this legislation is not of more Importance
now than the moral necessity for vindi-
cation Of the integrity of the House as a
body.

THE MAKING OF AUSTRALIA

The establishment of the Commonwealth
OF Australia has the easiest date and
form Of government to remember in mod
can history. 1t was proclaimed on the first
day Of this century (January l. 190l-the
date, which the majority of us consider the
beginning of this very important century,
and the form of government is much like
that of the United States.
Ihere are several other things to remem-
Der in respect to which Australia and
the United States are alike. The two coun-
tries are about the same size, about S00O'
600 square miles. The earliest parts settled
were inhabited for time by a rather large
proportion of English criminals. Gold was
discovered followed by gold fevers'O at
about the same time-1S49 in California
and 1851 in Australia.
II was in 1888, eighteen years after Cap
tam Cook explored the east coast, that Port

ONE ITEM IN A BILL OF
PARTICULARS

mighty nation. We know OF no method

puny leadership unless its puniness is
apparent and its disastrous ramifications,

complex life, reveal themselves under an
analysis which does not have to be micro.

vent Of the Blankenburg administration

millions Of annual revenue were insult.

municipal improvements proposed and
begun years before, were stagnant and
incomplete. To make matters worse, the
municipal corporation was not perform
ing properly the services for which IT
was paid Taxes are supposed to buy
community service Just as money buys
bread or gas or transportation. But the
service was not being given. The cor.
poration was not functionng properly,
and its activities were diseased. Police
protection was inadequate, the streets
were dirty, children were on half time
In the public schools, and a score Of lesser
Ills beclouded the city.
These things were bad enough, but the
almost inextricable labyrinth Of help

had driven the community was dramati.
