" come to the conclusion that the
morphine and allied habits ought
to be stopped.

governments have accepted an

Of profit for those who have a cure,

If we had none but old addicts TO

Keen Canada Our Friend!

Apologists for our new higher tariff law, which is
contributing to American depression, will have a hard
time laughing of the results of the Canadian ma
tional election.
Already your foreign exports as a whole have
fallen of more than 20 per cent this year, increas-
ing unemployment and reducing profits in the auto
mobile and many industries.
Thirty-odd foreign countries have protested our
tariff wall and many have carried out the retaliation
which all threaten. In view of these disastrous facts,
the denials Of the administration of foreign r~eprisals
fails to stand up.
But more significant than the Italian, French.
Spanish and other reprisalS are those of Canada.
Canada is our largest customer. Even before passage
Of our Hawley-Smoot law, the mere debate on 1t
provoked the liberal Canadian government to re-
taliate suddenly with higher tariff barriers against
our goods. Those Canadian increases are estimated
to have killed American trade of upfErd of half a
billion dollars.
But that is not all.
Monday Canada held a general election, The
major issue was a higher tariff, in reply to the Amer
lean increase. Both the Liberal and Conservative
parties pledged themselves to strike back at the
United States in self defense. But the Conservatives
promised to strike harder than the Liberals, and the
Conservatives won.
To get the full effect of the Conservative victory,
If must be remembered that the liberal government,
~ AA0|k ~
with the exception of a few weeks, has held office for
eight years. Now the liberals, instead Of remaining
in office as expected, have suffered an overwhelming
defeat. There is no doubt that the Conservatives, on
taking over the government, will carry out their cam
paign pledge to hit our trade and hit it hard.
What do the millions of American unemployed,
and the thousands of business men and stockholders
whose trade is suffering, think of this result of the
Grundy billion dollar tariff, which was advertised to
restore American prosperity in thirty days?
The cost of our tariff policy in dollars and cents
is heavy enough, but perhaps even worse is the cost
in international friendship.
There is growing suspicion and hatred OF the
United States abroad, partly because of our sheer su-
perior strength and partly because of our chauvinistic
postwar policies. We need friends. And of all the
nations in the world, the friendship of Canada we
need most.
No intelligent American can have seen the evil
dence OF growing bitterness against us, which has
characterized the Canadian election campaign, with
out being profoundly troubled.
President Hoover, in signing the tariff law, pledged
that any i~njustices would be corrected, under the aex-
ible provision, by himself and the tariff commission.
Unfortunately, the prolonged Investigations necessary
for such rate changes have not even begun.
It is to be hoped that the Canadian election and
the worldwide tariff war, which we so stupidity have
started, will show the administration the Importance
of modifying our provocative tariff rates quickly.

Boring From Within

THE thing that lifts me out of
unrequited love in anywhere
from 48 to 70 hours is that I begin
to bore myself by talking about it.
And what's the use of suffering
from unrequited love if you have to
keep the secret to yourself? Nobody
will pretend, I trust, that there is
any fun in that.

A ND unrequited affection is such

My answer to the searching ques-

THE size of sun spots serves to
l. indicate how small this little
earth of ours is. The diameter of
the un1bra or dark center of the
spot may range from 500 miles to
as much as $4,000 miles.
1t would be possible to pick up our
little earth and drop it right into
one of these larger spots. And since
the temperature there is about 5000
degrees, our earth would last about
as long as a snowflake which was
dropped into a red-hot stove.
The penumbra surrounding a
group of spots is sometimes as
much as 10000 miles in diameter.
Sun spots change their appear
ance frequently. If one keeps in
mind the tremendous size of the
spots, he can appreciate the stupen-
dous activity which goes on upon
the surface of the sun.
Spots appear and disappear with
considerable rapidity.
An analysis of photos of the sun at
the Greenwich observatory in Eng
land showed that %one-fourth of all
the spots recorded lasted but a single
day.
Another fourth lasted only from
two to four days. The two classes
just mentioned consisted, as might
be guessed, of the smaller spots. The
larger ones ere more permanent,
lasting in most cases for a week or
more.
Out of 5000 groups of spots,
however. only 468 lasted for more
than twenty-four days.

Contrast

ONE important fact to be grasped
~ is that the sun spots are not
really dark. but only dark by con-
trast with the rest of the sun. Actu-
ally, the light of a sun spot is as
bright as That Of an electric arc
light.
The sun is so bright that one can
not view it with the unprotected
eye. When a dark glass is used it
cuts down the light of the entire
sun a considerable amount.
The light Of the sun spots is cut
down SO much that the spots appear
dark by comparison with the rest
of the suns disc.
AS viewed through a telescope, a
sun spot consists Of two portions, a
dark central portion known as the
umbra, and a lighter fringe around
the umbra known as the penumbra.
Frequently several spots will have
a m penumh=a. 1t also is
common to find brilliant streaks
stretching like bridges across the
penumbra.
There is no regularity as to shape
or size among the sun spots. The
size and shape of the penumbra
with reference to the umbra is also
subject to -7idc variation. FIRE.
quently, the renumbra will exist
only on n side of the umbra, or
it may extend to a much greater
distance on one side than it does
On the other.
The quality Of light given off by
the sur spots differ from that radi-
ated by the suns surface or pho
tosphere in general.
The light from a spot is about
one-tenth as strong as the rest of
the sun in yellow light. 1t is very
much weaker, however, in blue and
violet light. The result of this is
that the light from the sun spot
has a more reddish hue.

morning to see how a news
paper is made. The principles
of the linotype machine, the
