the decision to the Public Utilities
Commission. That body's action will
be awaited with interest.
Despite the vast amount Of pooh
pooling from certain quarters over the
gas pressure row and the attempt to
relegate 1t to the status of technical,
engineering" questions that could have
no great effect on the average consum-
er's gas bill, the fact remains that the
Public Utilities Commission found that
high bills were in part the result Of
high pressure, and a former engineer
of the Public Utilities Commission. sub
sequently employed by the gas company,
enumerated the dangers of high pres
sure, without proper adjustment Of appli-
ances, such as the formation Of a danger
Gus gas and ineficient combustion that
caused waste. And the fact remains
that adjustments in high-pressure areas
and the reduction Of gas pressure to a
point allowable under the regulations
were brought about only after the ex-
change OF correspondence between the
Public Utilities Commission and the gas
companies management, which as
sumed, in the end, the characteristics
Of mandatory orders. "At this late
day." Gays the sederation's report, at
is hardly i'll order for any one least
Of all the gas company--to attempt to
minimize or disregard the situation by
asserting that the consequences TO gas
consumer are necessarily inconseQuen-
tial. No expert worthy Of the name can
withstand cross-examination in at
tempting to support any such PROPOSE
tion"-that is, the proposition that high
pressure has no effect On consumers
bills
AS the federation points out, the i'm
portance Of pressure regulations is
recognized by the existence Of such reg
ulations, and the commission Is given
authority to impose fines for neglect or
refusal. to obey its orders. The gas
company did neglect or refuse to abide
by those regulations, as the report Of
the Public Utilities Commissions former
engineer showed. And If excessive
pressure resulted in higher gas bills,
the gas company charged for something
that 1t had no right to charge for. and
collected money upon which 1t had no
just claim.
The Federation of Citizens AsSocia-
tons, after careful and deliberate inves-
/, tigat:c has sent to the Public Utili-
tiee Commission a reoort that cannot
be pigeon-holed. Judging from the
record of the commission, 1t will not be
pigeon holed.

polar ice. Nor does the average person
consider 1t necessary to his happiness to
know the thickness Of the ice sur
rounding the North Pole. And, by the
same token, he will lose no sleep be-
cause it has not been definitely ascer-
tanned just how deep the waters are in
the Arctic He Is concerned, however,
with the fact that twenty-three men,
experts in their line, are risking their
lives to accumulate data of no ap-
parent scientific value.
All precautions have been taken, to
be sure, but what precautions can be
taken to NEST the emergencies which
are bound to arise on such a venture?
To what avail, for instance, are mans
puny efforts should the tearing and
grinding forces Of two ice packs clamp
their unyielding jaws on the hapless
submo rine? And what care can prevent
the Nautilus, cruising blind under the
ice, from striking an overhangipg ledge
and rendering its outside machinery
useless for bringing 1t to the surface?
No enc can help but admire the cour-
age Of the men who are setting out to
meet the -incalculable dangers face to
face, but 1t is very much like going over
Niagara Falls in a barrel. Success
proves nothing end failure means death.

Five Billion Cigarettes.
From the Toronto Daily Star.

From the Toronto Daily Star.
A bulletin Of the Dominion Bureau Of
Statistics shows that Canadian tobacco
factories manufactured more than
5000, 900 900 cigarettes in 1880. Ex-
ports are negligible; the five billions are
consumed at home, in addition to a
considerable number imported.
Consumption was placed at less than
1000, 900 900 in 1913, had reached the
1000 900 900 mark by the end of the
war, was close to 100000 by 1926,
edged up toward 1000 ,000,0 900 in 1923
and now exceeds 5000, 100000. In the
smoking of cigars, however, the post
war period has seen slight decline.
If there are 6,250000 people in Cana
da over IA years Of age, they. are aver
aging, smokers and non smokers, over
800 cigarettes apiece per year. 1t would
once have been possible to use, as a
basis of calculation, the number of adult
males. But that is no longer prac-
ticable.
Men and women, boys and girls,
Canadians are spending on cigarettes
considerably more than $5o,0oo,000 per
annum.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

He who would discover which bird
opens the morning chorus must wake
up very early.
1t is not essential that one get up.
Being more or less awake IS the chief
requirement., in order that the listener
may know positively when no bird
voices as yet sound.
It will not do, in this pleasantly I'M
scientific search, to wake amid the clat-
ter of the bird chorus, or even when
1t Is beginning.
There Is no way OF telling which bird
is first II one does not know when no
bird sings.
Perhaps the best way to achieve this
preliminary period Of quiet knowing is
to stress the matter upon going to bed.
Say definitely to ones self, "Tomor-
row morning will wake up early, as
early as necessary, in order TO sit in
judgment on the birds"
What must be avoided in this instruc-
ton Is such an order as this: Il will
be up to hear the first bird sing"
No, that will not do. One must be
up before that! One must be there in
fore the birds begin to sir.
This is the only way to catch the
first note Of the first singer.

Which bird will it be2
This is the absorbing question Of the
evening before.
Let stocks and bonds slide for the
time being Permit mighty affairs OF
state to take care of themselves. There
will be time for all those things.
Now one may be permitted the lux
ury of being interested in very small

mankind has fooled itself into believ-
ing that only weighty, important"
things are the worthwhile things Of
life?
Those who talk solemnly Of trend
and the like, about which they nor
any other man cen have any real
knowledge, are set down for learned,
while he who is interested in other
matters may find himself Jumped of
as a fool.
The distinction, evidently, comes from
ditch digging. You ask how ditch dig
ging gets mixed up in it? 1t is easy!
Mankind gives its praise to any matter
intellectual or otherwise, which bears
on its face evidences OF labor.
If a matter under discussion is one

Happily this matter Of determining
the first bird to sing in the morning
is entirely a personal one.
1t Is conceivable that 1t might have

But 1t interests you. and II you are

Their revelations and any obServa-

may have to report are Of great interest

Hartford Times states: Prof. Picard

was to study the cosrnic rays which
are rained on all heavenly bodies from
the abySses Of space. These cosmic
rays, according to their discoverer DR..
Robert A. Millikan, eminent scientist OF
California. have greater penetrative
power than X-rays The theory adj
vanced to account for this radiant en-
ergy is that the sun and all the stars
are continually annihilating atoms and
throwing them of. While this destruc-
tive process is going on, DR.. Millikan
believes that new atoms are being built
up out OF hydrogen In the depths OF IN
terstellar space. The building-up proc
eSs manifested in the cosmic rays Is
proof to the eminent scientist that the
Creator Of all is still at work. 1t is I'M
likely that the short time Prof. Picard
and DR.. Kipfer spent in the stratosphere
will result in solving a problem which
has puzzled the keenest minds of the
world. However, the Creator uses cos
mic rays to rebuild the universe, and
man may be on the verge Of thrilling
discovery"
