STREET APPEARANCES.

Those who read the letter in last Saturdays Bulletin signed City Beau tiful and who have a regard for the appearance of our city streets must have strongly endorsed the sentiment expressed That such disagreement of the streets appearance was done through ignorance is entirely proba ble and now that attention has been call ed 10 the fact that it has been done cease.
 But while attention is being called 70 this matter Of making our streets uaattractive by placing posters in a way that violates the law. or what is equally JaFTing- the leaving in win dows of vacant stores and others at times, of great posters for weeks and months after the event they are used to advertise. it would do no haFM if increased thought was given to the habit, which unfortunately shows nc abatement as the years go by, of throwing into the street of every bit Of refuse which the person on the sidewalk wishes to discard.
 This material ranges all the way from papers. pasteboard boxes and bags to banana peels, broken bottles and tin cans. It seems to make little or no difference what the appearance of the street Is or might otherwise he, how much effort is made to keep the streets looking decent or what effect the constant adGing to the accumu- laticns is going to nave, the mere pos session of a useless article is a suffi- cient reason for some people te hurl it into the gutter and then join that scvial tn -ong of kickers about the cirty streets.

BRITISH RAILWAY STRIKE.

It is a long road that has no turn ing and such is being demonstrated in connection with the British railway strike. There have been concessions after concessions for the purpose of avoiding the tying up of the railroad systems of the country and prevent ing just such conditions as exist to- cay. Efforts have been made to meet the demands but it became evident that it was going to be an endless pro- cess and as a matter of fact the de- mands had gotten to be such that it was impossible to comply There had got to be a stop somewhere and it was recognized that the time had arrived. The efforts of the govern ment to relieve the situation availed nothing. Consequently Great Britain is in the throes of strike which ties up it's rail transportation and involves over two thirds of a million men. and naturally has its effect upon water transporta tien.
 What transportation stagnation means in any country can be fully ap preciated. Certain relief may be ob- taiHed by motor cars and aiFplanes but in view of the fact that the public is said to be selidlv back Of the fight that is being waged against the strik- CTS and that the people approve the attitude of Premier Lloyd George in terming the Walkcut as anarchy, it would appear that the government could be expected to take steps that would bring about an ending of the trouble by insisting that the trains must be run and providing crews to run them if the railroad employees still refuse. With the effect that it is hav- ing upon industry. the danger of star vation and the need Of putting an end
  auste measures would appear to be at hand

SUGAR INQUIRY.

With feeling that it is time most people will approve the action of the senate in authorizing the agricultural committee of that body to conduct an inquiry relative te The shortage and prevailing high prIees of sugar.
 It IS fully uHdeFst ood that there were European demands to be met because allied countries were cut off from their usual source of supply which meant that certain amounts were ai- totted to the different countries It is also understood that nc small handi- cap was caused by the marine strike which. together with the transperta- ton troubles that existed before serv ed to check the amount of raw sugar received at the reineries. where not only the supply for this country but for abroad is being turned out.
 The fact cannot fail to be appre- ciated that we are getting sugar at the existing prices today because of tn existence and action of the sugar equalization board. But even the good that this board has done appears like ly to be knocked in the head because no provision has been made for ex- tending it's services and after the 1919 sugar crop is exhausted it's work will cease. regardless Of the fact that pro- duetien and distribution are far from being back at normal. This means that certain advantages have already been lost and with no control over next years crop there Is no telling where prices will go to. And perhaps the most surprising feature of the sit uatien is that this condition has been allowed to develop in the face of the boards advice to the contrary. |. It Is quite evident that the investigation regarding sugar is needed, if in fact it isn't too late.

Bitter complaints come from beyond 1 the Tweed at the rise in the price of oatmeal.
 It is curious to reflect that porridge always chiefly, and for centuries solely, Scottish dish. has not a Scottish name. Porridge is really an English word mi piTapplied. It is derived from the Latin porrum. a leek. and when Sir Hugh Evans aiudes somewhat contemptuously to a mess of porridge he means a cheap sort of stew or soup which in Shakespeare's day was flavor ed with that vegeta ble. It was some what later that it came to signify the '.chief O Scotia's food
 To OUT recent reflections no the size of hats may be added a eruious view expressed by Cecil Graeme in the Eng fish Review. where he contends that the German. being round headed. can not wear with dignity the top hat. which adds distinction to the long hes ded Briten.
 Races with spherical heads. accord ing to Mr. Ora eme. cannot wear grace fully either the laUrels of victory or the thorns of defeat. and that the man stretched sideways is clumsy and m ina ginative. Is this long-headed idea?
