NOVA SCOTIA GHOST
 CAUSES TROUBLES

 To ~Einu Out

Halifax, N. S., Feb. 27.-Extraordi- nary phenomena, which drove Alexan- der Macdonald and his family from their home, Caledonia Mills, in win ter, have apparently led to widespread reports of "Spooks' in Nova Scotia and imaginative children are declared to have been seeing things in the dark, Angry parents are declaring that the Nova Scotia government should take immediate measures tc lay the alleged Ghosts" Since a Provincial detective lent some atmos- phere of credibility to the stories of events at the Macdonald home by ascribing them to supernatural agencies. .a..
 The haunted house has also be- come a business problem. Fire un- derwriters are discussing suggestions that the mysterious fires have been due to electric phenomena, caused by the powerful wireless stations at Gace Bay. Several other families in Antigonish County are now reported as having been driven from their homes by mysterious fires during the last dozen years.
 Inquiries received here indicate a small army of American newspaper men are preparing for the coming ot Dr. Prince, director of the Institute for Scientific Research who has ac- ccpted an invitation to undertake an investigation of the mystery.

A PRETTY QUESTION.

Must man take judicial notice the color red? This pretty legal question arises out in KaMas, the home of pretty questions, where a man wants an insurance company to pay him damages suffered by his au- tomobile, newly painted red, upon it's being gored by bull.
 There is the general legal theory that a man could not recover if he did something that he should have known would result in such damage This, on the principle that putting his automobile in a position which would result in damage without question is practically the same thing as doing the damage oneself intentionally In such case, of course there could be no recovery
 The next thing to consider is whether every man is supposed to know the nature of the bull to the extent of being aware that when a bull sees red he will surely start something. The case of a dog and its Lite is analogous. The flaw has it that every dog is entitled to one~ bite In other words man is liable for dam ages inflicted by a dog he knows to be vicious. The law says, however, that d man is not supposed to know his dog is vicious until that dog has bitten someone He is not liable, then, until after the dog has had his bite for all dogs do not bite.
 By the same token all bulls do not gore everything red. After deep con sideration one is forced to the opin- ion that whether or not a man knows that bulls do attack things that are red he has no reason to suppose that any bull he meets will attack and in iure his red automobile. The owner of the automobile therefore, was not obliged, lacking information as to the nature of this particular bull, to make a detour to avoid it that It might not attack his harmless, at the moment, automobile. The insurance company, therefore, is liable, the au- tomobjle owner having been guilty of no negligence, presumably
 Thus, as every dog is ent1t'ed to ms bite, so every bull is entitled to his one goring job. The insurance com pany may "see red" over 1hls de- cision but that is habit that some companies, at least, have.

"sAFi. AND SANE

Usually to say concerning person that one is able to tell just what that person is going to say or do uhder given circumstances, is not com plimentary characterization IT all the people in the world hah always done the obvious things there would have been little ps sEress. The great est steps in science and invention have been made not by those atraid 10 take a chance" but by those "ho Jared, those who were willing to FISK all to gain much, for self or TOT others, or to lose ail.
 A sense of responsibility weighs down some people more than others. That sense of responsibility prevents some from taking chances where the safety and welfare of others are con- cerned, where they would take greater risk were they~to be the only sufferers in case of failure.
 President Harding is the sort or man who is not inclined to take chances. It is this quality which makes him rather more than Wll'lhs to be governed by the advice Of others where he has confidence Tn them. 1t was this characterlsuc which made him acquesce in what was said to be the interpretation of the Pacific treaty to lnclude ohe homeland of Japan in it's terms, un- derstood by the representatives to the conference, against his persona Judg- ment. His interpretation, excluding that homeland, was finally adopted showing his first judgment 10 haNe been correct although he abandoned his tentative decision made on that judgment of his. More determined stand in this matter would have been excusable and it turned out, proper It is this characteristic in Presldeh' Harding that will impel him to do the "safe and sane" thing under all clr- cumstances where there is any ques- tion--if he is wise enough to kno" what the safe and sane thing IS. II is this characteristic in him when opposes too great cut Tn the navy personnel and which has inspired hlih to give SO,O0O men as the hmlt De- low which that personnel should not be reduced. There may come tl1lles in his administration when thls hes- itancy to take radical acton Will pc disastrous, but it will be this char acteristic in him which will suggest to him continually the wisdom or establishing and maintaining the most friendly relations with other nations, in spite of his acceptance of the no alliance" reservation to the 1ouf- power treaty. .-E

FRUITS OF OUR ACTION.

Saturday came news of probaple tcn-year alliance between EnSland and France. As stated in The Her ald weeks ago, this union was 1n- avitablc if the peace oi Europe was to be prescfved-it had to come be- fore the Genoa conf srence was held in order to make that gathering worth while.
 The news today is that the alliance has come for plans for it's execution before April 10, the new date for the conference at Genoa, have been made. But it will not be ten-year alllanee' If will run for twcaty years. France and England will be tied together; England will come to Frances aid in case of attack by Germany; together thev will protect Poland. Together they will guard Europe, Gradually thcir interests will merge, There Will bo there must be general under standing on practically all matters be- tween England and France, If either is offended; if either deems herself in .snlta1. both will aa against the com mon enemy.
 This is the situation today-and this situation Is the direct result of the refusal of the United States to enter the League of Nations having made all the reservations It deslred 10 do to protect itself, as it had the chance. Thus those two strong na- tions of Europe, the strongest at the
