in consequence.
And today, our greatest pleasures

have moved outside of the home our
temptations have been greater and
parental supervision grown less and

Look at the cart and buggy con-

escape from parental vigilance was
very limited then. Today, with the

The Author of ''Revelry' Says:

Old-fa shioned morality was all
right when we had All old-fash-
toned environment. 1t was all
right to wear clothes of the
fifteenth century in the fifteenth
century, and morals change the
same as dress habits. A new
age calls for a new code of
morals. In our grandmothers'
day we seemed more moral be-
cause there was less temptation,
less chance to get out of range
of the paternal eye, less leisure
to go wrong.
Today young people are con-
fronted with many more temp
tations. Furthermore, there has
been almost a complete emanci-
patton from paternal supervision,
due to the coming of the auto
mobile and the growth of city
life. where a few steps puts one
out of mothers sight. Today
women and children are becom-
ing financially independent.
They no longer are kept down
for fear of >being abandoned.
And, finally, education has given
youth boldness and confidence.
The old restraints of religion
and fear are dissipated. We
must have new code of morals
and stop clinging desperately to
a code that was designed for ut
tcrly different conditions.

TIME following is brief sum-
mary of the most important
news of the world for the
seven days ended July 80:
The British Empire.--On Friday the
British Parliament adjourned TO
November. The trade disputes and
trade unions bill has received the
royal assent and so becomes law.
The films bill, of interest to Amer
leans. went over to the next session.
Lord Beatty has been succeeded by
Sir Charles Madden as first sea lord
Of Great Britain, after seven years
service in that capacity. He has
been made a priyy councillor, a very
high mark of honor. He is still
only SIS years old.
Premier Baldwin of Great Britain.
the Price of Wales and Prince George
have landed in Quebec. They will
participate in ceremonies pertaining
to the Diamond Jubilee.
Spain.-Primo de Rivera continues
to grant interviews to press repre-
sentatives regarding the proposed
National Assembly, but he is increas-
ingly vague. Asked whether the
government proposes return to NOR
maicy" he replied obfuscatively, as
follows: THAT depends on what you
call normally. We are not going
back to the old institutions of parlia-
mentarism, but the government
wishes to establish as soon as posi-
BILE political reforms In accordance
with the desire of the people and the
new ideas of political science. A
consultative assembly in which all

will be represented will discuss and
approve the reforms and help the
government achieve political
changes"
Asked how the members Of the As
sembly would be designated. he re-

oligarchial rivalries and the influence
of old caciques. The government is
In position to make a better choice
and will take care to see that all ac-
tivities have voice in the National
Assembly"
He concluded his communication
thus: when the new constitution Is
finished. It will be entirely open to
discussion for from three to six
months so that the people will be
enabled thoroughly to understand the
character Of the reforms proposed.
A referendum will follow. l cannot
disclose the precise character of the
referendum, but it will surely be

this way the constitution will be

cratic in approval"

the Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey
bought an interest in the Nobel com.
pany. The company no longer owned
or operated oil property, but the
understanding is that the New Jersey
company bought on the possibilities
that the Nobel company would either
be compensated for it's losses or elsa
have concessions restored. Neither
has come about. and the New Jersey
company's purchase has been a poor
bargain. ~

the New York and Vacuum companies.
What sort Of retaliation could be put
into effect Is difficult TO understand.
Granted that the Royal Dutch has es-
tablished markets in foreign countries,
it has only one cheap source of supply
America. But the competing COM
panies which he has threatened with
retaliation have two cheap sources of
supply, one of them in America and
another in Russia. Therefore, the talk
of retaliation sounds TO those who
understand the situation very much
like hot air, and they are inclined to
believe that Mr.. Teagles trip to
Europe has been made with the pur
pose of cementing further the alliance
of the New Jersey company with the
Royal Dutch-Shell group. One of the
objects Of the New Jersey company
In continuing in the good graces of
the Dutch Shell group is understood
to be it's desire for concessions in the
Dutch East Indies, which heretofore
have been, in the main, refused. The
New Jersey company may have a
point in it's favor. If there is any bar
gaining to be done, by siding with the
Dutch group against the New Jersey
and Vacuum companies in America.
Losing this alliance might work
against the Dutch-Shell group, and
they may want it enough to come TO
trading terms. This is only conjec-
ture, however.
X X X
One reason why some of the stu
dents of the oil situation cannot be-
lieye that the Dutch-She group and
the New Jersey company are guided
only by the alleged unethical procedure
in dealing with a nation which does
not respect private property rights Is
the fact that both companies have
been very anxious to get Russian oil.
Before the war there was a working
agreement of some sort between the
New Jersey company and the Nobel
Co.. Ltd, which had large oil conces-
sions in Russia. The war saw the
confiscation Of the Nobel concessions.

My Lady Nicotine, who through the years has been held responsible for tobacco heart and thousand other ills which have made her q target for the broadsides of the professional reformers, is not really guilty of these silis- That at least, is the view upheld by Dr. Neu- berg Berlin authority on poisons who now comes forward with what seems to be hole proof alibi for My Lady
 Methyl alcohol, produced by a combinat, on of plant ether with the sap in ts4 leaves IS en tirely responsible for the noxous venoms or the tobacco weed. the Berlin specialist contends aftei an extensive investigation. The amount Of this poison the leaves contain depends on the curing process and, Dr. Neuberg says, is considerably less in cigarettes than in cigars. Maybe that because there's of the weed in cigars than cigarettes but the Doctor doesn't seem to nav turned his study into that channel

THE CANADIAN ANSWER.

The shortage of herring for bait reported for several weeks in Alaskan ports was likewise felt in British Columbia waters. The Prince Rupert Daily News reported last week that everything resembling bait had been cleaned out ill local storages and small but inadequate supplies were being shipped in from cannery on the West Coast of Vancouver Island Commenting on the situation. the News said: "The lesson this year will. doubtless. result in much more herf'ns being put up for bait during the coming winter with the probability of an over-supply lt will be better. of course, to be on the safe side so that another such evenuality as the present one may not arise
 That looks like sound solution And it does not involve injury to any other industry based upon the utilization of herring.

NAVY DAY.

Recently the United States Navy came in for a lot of publicity some of it severely critical, based on an article by Rear Admiral Thomas Pickett Magruder appearing in the Saturday Evening Post in which 1t was charged that the Navy is over-offcered. is hampered with too much red tape and is expensively inefficient in a good many of its shore establishments. Writ ten by one who more than knows his way about in the Naval establishment, it caused something akin to furor over weekend but finally smmered down to await possible revival by Congress.
 But this week comes another occasion which brings the Navy to the fore. For number of years. the Navy League has fostered annually a special day for honoring the American Navy. On October 27, next Thursday, under the auspices of the League. tribute will be paid on nation wide scale to the services rendered the country by the Navy And while 1t may have all the defects ascribed to it by Admiral Magruder it's services in the past, and it's capacity for service today are so conspicuous that there need be nothing half-hearted in the tribute It's deeds in bygone years inspiring and taken by and large today, it falls whit short of it's tra- dtional standards. It is not perfect organi- zation for there none without defects. II may be that Admiral Magruder more than half right in his criticisms of it's alleged short comings But even though that should be the case. the fact that it was Navy who pointed them out and there were other Navy officers who were ready to bear him out is an encouraging sign. With the Navy League we can honor such officers and the men they command we can take genuine pride in an organiza fion which needs no spur from without to exam ipe it's own household and take stock of its vir ttes and defects.
 The country needs and will not be content without Naval force commensurate with it place among other powers of the world. No that there is any public demand for maya aupremacy over other powers of equal rank, Or the contrary there seems sometimes lacking al understanding of the country's real needs whicl has led to smaller appropriations than has beer good for the Navy.

 This will be welcome advice to the fat They have always felt that fate had been unkind te them in adding unwanted pounds to thelr stature and that doctors even more unkind in sug- pesting drastic dietary changes and uninterestine exercises. Neither of these, obviously, supplies the correct state of mind.
 Fortunately for their new mental peace tne cables do not elaborate the precise nature of the diet or exercises that should accompany thlnk ing thin" If only the English savant is right we shall see our stout friends returning With pusto to cereals sweets and fats and counteract ing their indulgence by concentrating as they cat on the slender lines which will make thei' figures the morrow.
