Columbia Cannery- men Are Worried Over
 English Market

VANCOUVER, B. C.-Reported action of the Soviet Government in placing 100000 cases of Rus sian salmon on the British market at prices below those for which the British Columbia canner can pack his product is giving grave concert to British Columbia can- nerymen.
 Packers of British Columbia who export 80 per cent of their produc- ton have always depended on the British market to absorb a great proportion of this exportable sur plus, but under present circum- stances the possibilities are doubt full
 The greater portion of this years 000,000-case British Columbia sal mon pack is still lying in ware houses with exports to the old country practically negligible.
 According to Richard Bell-Irving of the Anglo-British Columbia Packers Company, canners this year must look to the domestic market for increased consumption. He hopes that the proposed advertising campaign may improve sales in this direction.-Canadian Fisher man.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-America' s dance is a rap-a-t -tap-tap of shuf- fles, breaks and time-steps
 The tap dance, which synco22.- ed America took up as fad tive CT six years ago, has become a dance for stage and home alike
 Hundreds of thousands are tap ping throughout the country. De- butantes do it. Business men try it. Stenographers double in taps. The staccato steps are seen pune tuating ballroom dancing.
 The tap dance is an American development. advanced by the jazz time music, Jack Manning, a New York instructor says.
 Its roots are in the Irish jig, the buck and wing, the Lancashire clog, and other old-time frolics.
 Anyone with sense of rhythm can tap-dance, Manning said
 The step most used is called the time-step, because it is set to Uhe beat Of the music
 The fundamental movements arc the brush. the shuffle, the slap and the tap, with, of course steps and hops. Cramp rolls, wings, pickups, heel grinds, toe touches and heel taps are more difficult movements in the advanced work.
 The brush" describes that move ment. The foot is brushed forward or back, the weight of the body always being on the other foot, leaving the foot in motion free.
 A forward and back brush com bine to make a shuffle. A shuffle and step together make triple y
 A forward brush and step form a slap For a step the foot is set down as in walking. A tap is a quick movement in which the foot is immediately raised again.
 There are thousands of breaks, Q break being the manner in which the dancer changes from one step to another in his routine. Step here means a combination of move ments.
 The usual routine is one step to a measure of music. Six steps of the same kind are made. The break comes on the seventh and eighth measure. Then a different step is begun.
 A sample time-step and break CIR mean left, righ) in be- ginner's waltz clog routine:
 Step L. shuffle R, ball change Ge. turning and shifting the weight on the balls of the feeO R to L.. The count is "one-and-two-and- three"
 This is done six times. alternat- ing the feet, through six measures Of music.
 Now the break:
 Hop L, shuffle R. hop l, jump to R, shuffle L, hop R, back brush l. hop R. The count is "one-andsa- two- -three-a and "a -four and -five-and- a-six." through two measures.
 It is easier than it reads. A tan dancer can be made in three to six months, Manning says.

THE TREATMENT OF INFANTlLE
PARALYSIS

THE TREATMENT OF INFANTILE
PARALYSIS
At least half Of all the crippled
children would be well today II 1t
were not for infantile paralysis. Of
all the diseases which menace chill
dren, this is probably the most dread
ed by parents, as the child may be
manned or crippled for life. With
this disease, as with many others,
prevention is much easier than cure.
The trouble most often occurs with
young children, although occasionally
with adults, and Is due to an inf1am-
nation of the spinal cord. It usually
comes on quite suddenly, with fever
and the tendency to muscular paral-
ysis, often ending in contraction ana
permanent deforrnity.
There are a few cases Where no
symptom of paralysis develops, and
in some cases a temporary paralysis
does occur during the height Of the
inflammation, but in many cases
there is q complete return to normal
and a recovery Of the use OF the
muscles. Even where paralysis does
definitely occur and seems to be q
permanent condition, there have been
many remarkable cures and q COM
plete recovery through persistent and
gradual retraining Of the muscles
through the right kind OF massage
and exercise.
It seems as though even when GER
tain nerve centers in the spinal cord
have been destroyed, it Is possible for
other nerve centers to be trained to
take over the functions Of the de-
stroyed centers. This cannot be
quickly done, however, and requires
much patience and perseverance,. but
will prove effective even In many APP
parently hopeless cases.
Probably no other disease has YIELD
ed so conspicuously to the newer
methods of healing as that Of infaln-
tile paralysis. The use Of q good
fasting regime, combined with mas
sage, hydrotherapy, either chiroprac-
tic or osteopathic treatments, very
persistent, passive exercise, later fol-
lowed by active exercises on the part
of the patient, and sometimes gal
vanic and sinusoidal electrical treat

Editorial Comment
If You Found a Worker Asleep
(Eorbes Ma1azine)

vi N0oSolAACJ
What would you do II you found a workman asleep
alongside the machine he was supposed to be operating?
That question was put to Meyer Bloomfield an industrial
counsellor. when addressing a large group Of forennen.
Without q moments ~he1itation, he replied: I'D first of
all find out just why he had fallen asleep. Perhaps I
might discover that the management needed waking up
more than he did. I should want to investigate all the
conditions surrounding the mans work. I would $3.50
cialy analyze the ventilation Of the Workshop, because
it is entirely probable that most Of the blame would be
found to lie there"
How many foremen, however. would dream Of thus
thinking the matter through? The ordinary foreman
perfectly naturaly-woul instantly conclude that the
workman had committed an inexcusable offense and had
discharged himself. BY his deeper reasoning. however,
the industrial engineer would perhaps prove able to re-
move or modify the causes leading UP to such a breach
Of efficiency and thus perform q service Of real and last
ing value to the organization, whereas the foreman, by
dismissing the offender. would cure nothing.
That incident recalls another involving a workman vho
fell asleep at his machine. In this case an executive was
showing a prospective buyer Of automatic machinery over
his plant when they stumbled upon the sleeper. For
only an instant the executive was nonplussed. Quick
thinking enabled him to explain: 'see, this machinery
works so perfectly that the man in charge knows it is
absolutely safe for him to go to sleep. It requires no
at. .nticn whatsoever"

Indy Still Is a 2

The name of Lindbergh has lost none of its glamour
as far as school children arc concerned.
The other day Indy went from his California noun
tain camp. where he has been flying his glider. to a
small town to visit the weather station. A school child.
late for school, saw him 60 in and hurried to tell his
classmates about it.
Within Is minutes every child in school was clustered
about the door Of the weather station. They refused to
leave, and the teacher finally had to go in and get Indy
to come out and talk to the youngsters before she could
get them back to the schoolhouse.
There aren't more than three or four mortals in Amer
lea vino could do that to a schoolroom full of kids.

Chicago in Test Tube

Chicago's corrupt politics plight has about it an ele-
ment Of a laboratory test in the plan undertaken to res
cue the city. From its experience in municipal bank
ruptcy on such a vast scale the whole nation should be
able to learn something. New York, for instance, might
study the Chicago experience as chemical reactions are
studied in the test tube. Who knows but what other big
cities Of the country may not drift into the same slough
by the corrupt politics route?
Chicago is broke and has been broke for quite a while.
Now a committee of prominent citizens, holding tax an
ticipation warrants as security, has pledged q fund big
enough to carry the empty city treasury along; but it
has tackled a kicker on to this pledge that may spell con-
fusion for the politicians.
This kicker is q simple stipulation that the money be
properly spent. Not q penny is to be disbursed without
the full knowledge and approval Of the committee. which
is composed OF business men and not Of politicians.
There is just a faint bit OF light in that procedure. In
the long run it may turn out to be q beacon Of consider
able Importance.
Chicago, hs-as-od by politicians who have led the city
through financial extravaganza, inconvenience and graft
into a hopeless wilderness Of debt and perjury, has the
germ Of a big idea in this citizens comr--+"e. If present
trends continue this idea may prove the salvation, not
only of Chicago, but Of many other cities.
It is a commonplace arro-r students of municipal 1ov-
eminent that the average American city could be oper-
ated with the utmost efficiency for far less money than
is usually the case. The necessary departments such as
police and fire forces. hospitals, schools. lights. water
supply ana SCIeet maintenance COuIo Dc run DeLleT t080
they ordinarily are, for less money than is ordinarily
spent on them.
Politics stands in the way. Padded psyrols. favorit-
kn, Incompetence and downright crookedness keep the
tax bills rising: and, as q by-preduct, they impair the
kind Of service that these municipal agencies render.
Suppose. now. that q big city like Chicago suddenly
puts all Of its expenditures In the hands Of q ncn-partt-
san committee OF business men.
How long would a departmental payroll be kept 1T
A-l~> e.. ~~h%f.l e;cn ~ <ha + ~ vyoeA-hnnl@nw ~ssn-
ners and their friends? How long would expensive con-
tracts with the friends Of political bis-wigs be tolerat-
ed? How long would an official last who had nothing to
recommend him but the fact that he had always played
ball with the boys at election time?
The answers are obvious. A stunt Of this kind could
tree q city, overnight. from the dead weight Of politics
that afnncts nearly every municipality in America.

Let 1t Be Thorough

Congress having voted President Hoover $4,000 for an
investigation Of conditions in Haiti, it is to be hoped that
the investigation will be speedy, thorough and absolutely
impartial.
1t is quite apparent that something is wrong III con-
nection with our occupation of the island republic. There
have been too many protests to permit anyone to be-
lieve that everyone is satisfied except some irresponsible
~agitators
Just what needs to Be done, however, Is not at all clear.
Let us hope that President Hoover's commission will fur
nisn him with knowledge that will enable him to form
4 new policy that will be more equitable and workable.
We have done enough aimless muddling.

Is m Going Dry?

It is interesting to notice that a committee of the Ger
man rechstag has approved a bill limiting the saloons
in Germany to one for each 400 inhabitants. This, to
be sure. does not exactly look like a drastic prohibition
measure; yet 1t is a step in a new direction for Germany,
and 1t enjoys the opposition of anti prohibitionists in
Germany, who see in 1T the first step toward prohibi-
ton.
Probably it is a little bit early. however, to say that
Germany is on its way toward dryness. The annual
German liquor bill is still below pre-war figures, but it
is steadily rising. and expenditures for liquor each year
are greater than PREPARATIONS payments. If Germany is
actually moving toward prohibition it has a long way
yet to 60.
The only way q city man can be monarch Of all he
surveys Is by closing his eyes.
The fellow who goes through life afraid Of making q
fool out of himself is one.
