Such individuals as Post are blazing trails

In the not far distant future, all lands will

That means more frequent and intimate contact
People will be compelled TO provide for the
convenience of travellers and tourists, to put up
signs that can be read by every one to establish
signals that can be understood and learn a
common language. The beauty of scientific and
mechanical progress lies in its universal effect
ME electric light burns just as brightly in
the Kongo as in New York, and the auto
will travel just as far over good road.
The task before civilized nations is to spread
the comforts and conveniences they have dis
covered This can not be done, however except
through that peculiar kind of education which
creates common capacity to make use OF COM
mon methods and devices
We have got to teach backward people to
use our tools Modern industry calls for a new

Modern machinery can not be carried any,

Nothing has done more TO obliterate provincial

A Woman's Viewpoint

IL with saving civilization with the
National Council of Women at Chi
cago. which seems a good place to
begin.
AT first I felt a tremendous en-
thusiasm. Hearing the eager and
intelligent representatives from for
eign countries makes one realize
that there is a tie encircling the
globe that binds women together in
a common cause.
BY the end of the sessions. how

ton was worth the effort. Words
had become completely Intellectual

Warm Oil May Remove Insect From Ear

WHEN foreign substances get
w into the nose, more harm
usually is done by attempts to dis
lodge them with improper instru-
ments than by letting them alone
until competent advice can be had.
If blowing the nose will not re-
move a foreign substance, sneezing
may accomplish it. The physician
may wash out foreign substances or
remove them by use of proper for
ceps.
An insect in the ear may be re-
moved b. turning the head TO one
side and filling the ear with warm
sweet oil by means of spoon. The
insect is unable to live in the oil
and it promptly dies. and then can
be foated out with warm water
In Swinging the ear with warm
water. it is best to spray the water
against the side at the entrance Of
the ear. rather than directly against
the drum.

REASSURING CONSUMERS

CECRETARY WALLACE'S warning that the
~ federal government will attempt to keep
farm prices from going too high, as well as
from remaining at ruinously low levels will re-
assure consumers who have been watching the
upward swing in the price of foodstuffs with
some misgivings.
Wallace aptly recalled the experiment Of
the British, under which prices of crude rub
Der were forced from IA cents a pound to more
than a dollar. only to collapse later under
the burden of stimulated production.
This problem of keeping prices at level
that will not unbalance the law of supply and
demand is a delicate and difficult one.
