Alien Enemies

 As to the vote the alien enemy lost his privilege during the war. Now the hght is aS to whether it will be given back to him. The war times election actwas based on the ground that the man who was not eligible to fight if needed wasn't eligible 10 vote, a rough and ready rule which served q purpose and if deliberately disfranehised all persons of alien enemy origin whether theE had Canadian citizenship or not.
 Fight Expected on Repeal.
 Repeal of this aet was expected 10 immediately follow the close of the war, but now the government is not anxious to refranchise q large voting population which is not likely to sup port the government that originally dis franchised f. The parties are lining up for real old-time party scrap on the issue. The fight will come in par liament on the introduction of the franchise act promised for an early date.
 One proposal k that an educational test wiTl be framed which will have the effect of disfrancnising large num- bers of former Canadian citizens of en- emy origin.
 Even if they get the vote back many of fine alien enemies are going to be out of q job. And they would infinitely prefer wartime conditions when they had no vote bu5 had q good job.
 Not many Germantown are affected. but there are several hundred thou sand natives = tAe former Austrian empire tn csua.za These cause the problem.

WAYS TO CONTROL HOG LICE
Complete Eradication Is Best Secured by Use of Dipping Vats-Some
 Other Methods.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricuiture)
 Lice on hogs can be controlled in va rious ways, but complete eradication is best secured by the use of dipping yats, experiments conducted by the United States department of agricu- ture show.
 Medicated hog wallows and rubbing posts, the experiments showed, kept the number of parasites reduced so that they caused little or no damage, but neither of these methods destroyed all the lice. Crude petroleum was used on the rubbing posts and the wal lows were medieated with coal.tar creo- sote dips, pine tar, crude petroleum, and bland oils. Crude. petroleum and coal-tar creosote dips proved to be more effective when applied from an ordinary sprinkllng can than when used in waIlows or on rubbing posts.

Of large sities-a congestion that has increased during the past several years, and that if it continues, will tend to run up the cost of living Those are q few of the main reasons why, from the standpoint of self-iater- est, the city automobile owner should vote for road-bond issues
 Good Roads as Military Measure.
 From the standpoint of duty, the military element probably takes first place. When it became necessary two years ago to concentrate great num- bers of men in canteaments, it was found that the roadWayS connecting the cantonments with the surrounding cities were in no sense adequate For the most part new roads Lad to be constructed. There is always the pos sibiiity of another such emergency, and the only means of insuriBg facile communication is by the construction of surfaced roads over which motor trucks can operate.
 While the security of the nation in such an emergency might depend upon good roads for military uses, their Sery- ice to the nation would not be con fined to military matters. For a great portion of the time during the past two years % per cent of the railroad ca pacfty of the country was required for military purposes. The transportation of food, fuel and the like had to be accomplished largely by means other than rail. Some hardshipS were en- tailed. The motortruek, however, over such roads as were pas>aBle rendered excellent service. When the present road-building program is carried out and the total of improved roads Is several times larger than tt present, the service possibilities of the motor truck will be correspondingly in creased and the safety of the nation and the comfort of the people more fully insured.
