If there is any other reason than ill health, and as is to he inferred serious i'll health. for the resignation of A. Bonar Law as a member Of the Lloyd George cabinet it should require but brief time in order to develop. That Bonar Law has been minister upon which the premier questioned. It Is therefore no wonder that he should be manifestly moved when making the announcement concerning his decision.
 That Bonaf Law Is afflicted with more than temporary indispositlen seems fair to presume. He is not man who would easily give way under such conditions and as has been maintained 1t would be possible to tolerate q letting up in his work under most conditions if he would but let his influence remain with and as a part of the ministry. That he has with drawn on advice indicating that if he didn't he would suffer a complete break. down, gives support to the report that he course he has followed.
 It is natural that the loss of such a strong government prop should cause 1 speculation. Benar Law has long beer 1 identified with government affairs. H, has been a powerful leader of the con l servative party and he has figured prom

If 1t Is possible to judge from the early report which is made ef the plebisclte in Upper Eilesia there appears to be a decided victory in behalf of Germany. By vast majority of these who vetsd. and there are sosd reasons for believing that all these who were able to get to the polls did ss,' the people of that district have declared their preference and in accord with the terms of the Versailles treaty. To Germany 1t means much while to Po- land it canAet De regarded otherwise than a severe disappointment, for while it will have the right to purchase ceal in that district at the same price that Germany does for period of years it will mean ultimately that it's chief source of supply for fuel will be placed in the hands ef another, to say nothing of the other large mineral deposits in that region. Both Po- land and Germany had rushed those ta the district who were entitled to vote in the plebiscits and the outcome, if correct ly reported. Is so overwhelming as to leave nc uncertainty as to the desire cf the people. Likewise in view of the su- pscted that it will be accepted and ca IOfceu WItnout ulS0fQer. Inere must DC an acceptance of the expression of the people with the vote favoring Germany quite as much as there would have been had it favored Paland.
 Interest will new center upon the next
 move that will be made by Germany to
 present new proposition to the allied i countries regarding reparations demands. Germany has ;adicated that much de-
 penaence would be placed upon the out l come Of the plebiscits, that great reliance
 would be placed upon that district and it's large resources in handling the problems of that government and intimating that l Germany would be disposed to view matters in . different light if everything went favorably to it. Certainly it has
 no reason to view the outcome in any
 but the most favorable light but 1t has
 no reason to feel that the allies stand ir any different position regarding the de
 mands made upon Germany than they did during the eenferenee at London. Whether
 the outcome of the plebisc;te has any no.
 ticeable effect upon Germany relative tr

 A child psychologist recently made this remark, T wonder if we are not hay ing so many lawsuits today, especially contests over wills, because the children were not allowed to settle their dis putes in the back yard"
 Isn't there food for thought in that re- mark? Of course we are not to allow the seven-year-old brother to take every thing from the three-year-old eister; he may need some reasoning just there, but when children are not too unfairly match led, isn't 1t wise to give them R chance to thresh out the matter without always an interference from the elders2 There are undoubtedly many tlmes when the grown-up must use his judg- nent for the physical as wen as the mora well-oedng Of the child but stiil plead that we first give children a chance tc settle their own disputes.

HIGHWAY SAFETY.

When it comes to spreading the value Of an idea among a large number it is getting to be a well established custom to naugurate day or a week for the purpose of directing increased attention 10 it. That it accompltshes it's object there ean bo no question since the attention of n great many people is thereby gained and it is just such publicity, just such thought and discussion as is bound to follow that is desired. If there is merit in it it will stand the test but if ther, isn't it will not make much progress.
 An organization known as the Safe Roads federation has designated the weel eommencIng with the third of April a, .Safo Roads week with the object of pro. noting the interests of safe roads. Nc pne will doubt but that there is need oI .entering all possible attention upon thai Important question of not only aaakins the roads safe but keeping them So, ana certainly there is much that can be don, when vehicular travel on the highways i. undergoing such an increase each veal through the number Sho are operatfnI automobiles.
 Safety on the highway depends to , Hrge degree upon the assumption of in aividnal responsibility. It makes littl difference how careful driver may be or how closely he follows the regulation f the other fellow takes just the opDosit view. The dangers of the highway ar not so much due to the inexperienced d to the careless. Whether it is possible f get such g class of drivers to pay any at sention to the observance of Safe Road week when they are so glaringly renis n the obedience of laws and show littl sr no regard for the rights of other raises more or less doubt -
 Nevertheless there should be all poSs; hie effort put forth for the purpose O reaching the highest possible degree 0 safety on the highways Because ther are those who are reckless and careles sniy calls for greater efforts in oEfsetttn heir actions. If it is possible to reduc any of the dangers and thereby brin about any improvement that great nun Der of highway users who stand for safe roads should put forth their best esor, every time they have a chance to boo, any such movement.

 It all happened one day between the little folk in the Kindergarten room, but 1t set the older folk to thinking.
 Kindergarten had not yet started. and Tim, little fellow of 1-2 walked over and took the oak chair that Clifton. aged 5 Ia, had placed beside the table for work WhAa Clifton realized what had happened, a tug of war began and the two children were soon joined by others, most of them to aid little Tim
 The Kindergarten teacher stopped what she was doing and gave he. attention to the group, and although st might have stepped over and put an end to the strug- gle, she only stood by and watched.
 It looked as though tho trouble would never end and as though someone might be hurt. but still she dil not interfere she only locked on. ready, however, tc take hand if it became necessary.
 At last one of the older boys was called to help He studied the situation, ob- served that the fuss ~as over an oai chair, and that there was one more oaE chair in the room.
