DISTRESSING ACCIDENTS.

A standing automobile under most cir surnstancss isn't regarded as a death trap. There is in fact less harm to be expected from it than a horse drawn vehicle hitched at the curb when it s realized that Dobbin easily takes fright and is an adept in smashing up things.
 Nevertheless there have been some distressing accidents which have rr.yrl.- d from automobiles left by the drivers who had supposed that they would re- main stationary until they returned. Three deaths by drowning followed the piunging of an automobile into a lake near Poughkeepsie after it had rolled down slight grade on which it had been stopped. The idea prevails that the children had released the emergen- ey brake and set the ssr in motion in this instance, but the case at Niagara Falls where a woman was carried over the high embaRkment at the falls in an uuto which had started after being left on a grade brings to attention occasions when greater care needs to be exerted In the leaving of cars if such accidents are to be prevented.
 Whatever may have been wrong with he autos, that they should have started when the brakes were on, or whatever may have been done by the Irresponsible occupants of the cars, it has clearly brought to attention the fact that add:- tional safety could have been thrown about the autos and their occupants had the front wheels of the car been turned 10 that the releasing of the brakes from any cause whatever would not have caused them to be sent down hill and to destruction
 How many instances there are where brakes fail to hold and no harm resulta there Is no way of telling. It is not ev- cry hill or grade that has at it's foot a lake or a Niagara Falls, but no better season could be asked for to cause auto irivers to give proper thought to suct conditions than that furnished in the NS instances which collected the pen llty Of four Aamsz beings.

FoRn,s ExCusEs

No little interest has been aroused by the action of Henry Ford in closing his factories because of the claim that though there was plenty of coal he was not willing to pay the price demanded. Whenever a man has the spunk to stand up against the coal prohteers there are plenty to applaud and sympa- thize. but what MT. Ford had to say about the situation was for the most part generalities. He didn't put his fin- Der on the ones responsible.
 With the closing of his factory he stopped hs coal bill and he stopped pro- suction, but at the same time he stopped he wages of his 100000 employees, a lact which he appears to have given less consideration than the escape from tke ;oai price, which Secretary Hoover de- eiared at the time would not have sn- creased the production cost of his au- lomobiles over s1.5O apiece.
 After q four-day layoff his employees have b sel called back. Mir. Ford an- nounces that he is able to get coal hui he strange part of 1t Is that this Is no. attributed to the yielding of the coal producers but to the fact that the inter. tate commerce commission has cancelI. d its service order and made it possi- ble to get coal. This is the first time hat 1t has been claimed that the inter. HaIe commerce commissions order lad Uepc q the Ford plants. but if that wal

IN THE NEAR EAST.

All is not clear for a settlement of the differences between the Turks and the allies In the near east. Neither is it so. even though there Is a desire for dealing with the matter Automatically inatead of with bullets. that the allies are in agreement as to what policy should be followed in dealing with the Turks.
 Ksmalists are willing to talk over the question of the Dardanelles and the control of the straits for the future, but they are not willing to wait in regard Co Thrace. They demand the right to occupy it at the present time and to a certain degree they are being encouraged in that attitude by France. while Italy Is inclined to favor 1t and thus bring the Turks back into Europe.
 The British, who have borne the brunt of the action thus far taken in the near east against the Turks doing about as they pleased following their brushing defeat of the Greeks, are pre- pared to use force if it is necessary, but are disposed to reach an understanding otherwise if 1t is possible. Nevertheless they are not inclined to trust the Turks hntil negotiations have been completed The idea of letting the Turks occupy Thrace gives them possession and al least one of the trading features IT connection with whatever terms may bt arrived at is lost. The Turks would have reason to believe that they had disposed of the allies and the provisions of the Sevres treaty quite as effectively as they did the Turks. and such success would come prominently to the front ir dealing with the Dardanelles int, which conference the Turks are certain to insist that the Russians must b, called.
 Bringing the soviets into a conference on the Dardanelles would not be as dis tasteful to the British as it would to tn, French, if we are to judge by the con ference at Genoa, but what must b. pleasing the Turks, for whom civiliza ton can have no sympathy, Is the fac that they have apparently succeeded ii getting division among the allies with out much effort though Germany ha been endeavoring to do so unsuccessful. for a long time.

That sentiment should run strong against the use of poisonous gas for the killing of human beings is natural, but if 1t can be employed for the purpose or eliminating pests without causing other destruction everyone will De happy It is for that reason that interest should attach to the confidence which Is dis played by General 4. o, Fries of the that poison gas can be utilized for the purpose of ridding the cotton fields of the south of the destructive boil wee viI
 The boil weevil is not new, the cot ton planters know 1t as an old enemy and try as they will they have not been able to successfully deal with t. Losses running way up into the billions can be attributed to this Insect which digs it's way into the cotton boil. Like such pests its efforts are ceaseless. Climatic conditions do not bother it and no sat isfactory method of exterminating it has been discovered When it has even been recommended that no cotton be planted at all for one season that the weevil may be denied that upon which 1t feeds, some idea of the desperation of the cotton growers can be gained
 Having tried everything else 1t Is nat uraI that there should be willingness to try out poison gas The campaign will be conducted as a test for the purpose of determining what is the most effec- tive gas to employ and the conditions under which it can be used to the best advantage. That the souts should be is the attitude of the man from Missouri is to be expected in view of the absence of desired results after previous efforts
 There is, however. an excellent chancs for the chemical warfare service to dem onstrate, if such a thing is possible, tha' the boil weevil can be dealt with as il should be. There will be no objection whatever to the cry of mo quarter" g. the army of gas fighters moves into th' cotton fields and 1t will be highly grat flying If the expenditures madzz in con nection with poison gas development csl be turned to such good account as tl. destruction of this destructive insect.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

William Morris Hughes. who may be- come the first Australian high commits sioner at Washington is the present pre- mier of the commonwealth, position he held through the trying period of the World war. His has been remarkable career. At 19 he landed in Australia as a penailess and friendless immigrant. Poverty, from which he had fled, haunted him for half decade in his new home. Often he did not know where his next meal was coming from. But force of character and persenality told. and ten years after Sf. Hughes had landed in Australia as an immigrant he was a member of the New South Wales parlia- ment, being then only 30 years old At 36 he was a member of the federal par liament, at 40 a cabinet minister and at fl attorney general. Ten years later the man who in his earlier career had earned 8 livelihood as roustabout and as a sailer before the mast had become prime minister of Australia.

NOW FOR THE TAX.

When the fuel commission in the state of Pennsylvania forbids the an- thracite operators to tack onto the con sumers of coal the costs of the recent strike and in fact prohibiting them from charging an extra dollar at the mines for the purpose of recouping the the strike was in progress 1t looks as If there was real champion of the pub- lie at work.
 Certainly it is to be hoped that the orders of the commission will be suffl- clent to obtain respect and that the pub lie will be protected against bearing such an unjustified burden. Considering the fact that Pennsylvania is the pro- ducer of anthracite such an order will have a far reaching effect and 1t is to be hoped that it means an end to that habit of passing along to the consumer those charges which ought to be other wise borne.
 But while Pennsylvania is giving con- sideration to the consumer there Is an excellent opportunity for it to do some more good work in much the same di- rectien. Although the matter has not yet completed it's course through the courts, there is now a tax imposed by the Keystone state for all coal mined which tax has to be paid by the man who buys and burns the coal! That is a levy which was not authorized by ths fuel commission but by the state legis. Iature. It is therefore something whicf the commission is powerless to change but from the attitude taken regarding the strike costs it might not be so diff cult to have that collected where it be longs or given up entirely. if the fue commission was authorized to decide th' matter. It is at least something fol Pennsylvania to do.

doubt there Is some truth in the state ment that French trade unionism has not been strong enough to force the wages above their normal rate. Also there has been a demand for lsbour in repairing the devastated areas. These are the principal reasons why France has suffered less from unem- ployment. She never had. like us, a vast, indispensable foreign trade to lose.
 Serious riotine broke out at Pori Glasgow when unemployed attempt to rush the parish council chambers A deputation from the unemployed com mittee had been received by the coun- cil and had urged the necessity of paying the ministry of health scale of relief and not the labour exchange scale. The council proposed a joint meeting with the charity organization society but the unemployed insisted on the ministry of health scale being adopted Police had to remove the men from the council chamber.

so it seems bit strange that tt dsd not operate the same way seainst other large industrial plants threughou. the country. So far as known Mr. Ford is the only one who has thrown his em- ployes out of work because Of fuel difH- culties. However much he may have fig ured that others would follow his lead the quick retreat indicates that he made wrong guess, but even in ofrefink fas explanations he fails to make t clear why he should attribute the shut down to the unreasonableness Of the coal prohteers but claims that the decision to start up was reached beczase sf the change in the service order about which nothing had previously been heard
 Whatever the answer Is 1t has been the means of giving Baf. Ford some more valuable advertising.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
A Real Rsiieion

God commanded the Jews, at me Passover season Purge your houses of leaven. Let no leaven be found in them" The Jews obeyed very thor oughly. They swept every room They searched the remotest corner. They lighted candles and peered Into dark places. Then they made formal de- claration before God T have oone what l can to remove the 1eayen; if there be any more in the house curse it and disown 1t altogether" Such a search for sin, uncompromis-
 ing. deter9nindb thprough solemn must the Christian make in his own heart; and if any inquitous tenden- cies unavoidably remain, he must dis own them wholly and forever.
 Religion must be a light to the room within before 1t can shine out of the windows. As John Bunyan said, Re ligion is the best armor in the world, but the worst cloak" What I want, said Kingsley, lis, not to possess re- Iigion, but to have a religion that po- sesses me- Beecher once declared that many people make religion the cake of life-somethiiig to be put away in a cupboard and used only when company comes. But religion must be the bread life, the thing for which we hunger. the substance of our strength. The foundation of real re- ligion is to deal honestly with our selves and with God An English pho tographer once hung out a sign. "It is not necessary to be rich in one oi our photographs" He kept a studio full of clothes, paste jewels, and oth- CTS tappings of folly. He darkened
