He says that man has not made any intrinsic pro- gress in the last 40,000 years judging by the skulls of that period which have been unearth- ed. Physically we seemed to be degenerating, as we were losing our hair, claws and fur, besides our keen senses of sight, hear- ing and smell. There is no ques- tion about the growing army of the bald in spite of the tons of restorers used which do little but put a Sunday polish on the old dome. We may yet live to see parlors where the gentlemen with the brushes will say "Shine your shoes and head, sir.w Yet, while I believe the dean is a confirmed joker, there is always a basis of cold truth in everything he says. Anyone who has studied human nat- ure "on the hoof," so to speak, and not in professors'ooks knows by reference to history that man in his essentials thinks and acts as he did thousands of years ago. If we would only ad- mit this instead of talking tosh about modern man we would get rid of half the ideas that are clogging up civilization. The very scientists who have made such marvellous discoveries re- main in character and in their everyday human contacts just men. A certain Dr. George Brown of Atlanta, has just burnt up 681,682 worth of accounts and has written each of his patients to just "forget that this service wss ever rendered." I have con- ferred with a number of busi- ness men on the subject, and they aa told me that they mightjust as well follow the doctor'5 lead. And the burden of their song was the same. They had begged, threatened, attempted to shame, insulted, and even stood drinks to their debtors, and ao to no result. In their opinion anything from a sawed-oif shot gun to a 16-incher was indicated and would be equally ineffective, that they were fed to the eyes snd hoped each one of those ow- ing them would choke to death horribly. To return to the doc- tor, who, it will be noted, asked each of his patients to forget he had ever done anything for them. Now, as they had already P obviously forgotten, that iswhat I should call a very nasty one. The Mayor and council of Cal- gary, backed undoubtedly by aa their people, have "gone the lim- it,w they have done that which "is not done," and afi the fin- anciers in Montreal and New York are running round with their ears laid back and their trousers turned up wondering what kind of a hurricane has suddenly blown in from the blue. For their banker'0 aacged threat to cut out any further credit has not jarred this wicked council one Iouc from their blunt refusal to Pay 6660,000 of American ex- change on some of their bonds due 1st instant. They say they won't pay the exchange in spite of hell and high water, and, as for their action blowing up the Montreal-New York exchange market higher then a kite, be- sides disturbing the Jews'appy little home in Wall Street, why it's just too bad, but they as 0 council are not interested. Many other Canadian municipalities, however, with similar bonds fall- ing due in the future are intense- ly interested, and it is this more than the present sum involved which has started the financiers climbing for the high spots. Only recently I had occasion to ob- serve that the British peoples never allowed "anybody or any- thing they could handle to get too gay" with them. In this case Calgary evidently thinks New York is being too gay with them, and that they can handle the sit uation. If successful, their re- fusal may be of material assist- ance in settling the war debts'uestion. We in Canada will never find our way oui of the present eco- nomic impasse until we get rid of our fade and fancies, and face life as it always has been aml will be. AU men are not born equal either physically or mentally, and Jack was never at any time as good as his master in Canada where there is as much snobbery as in Europe. Competition or stagnation ending in degradation is a law of nature, and much of our trouble is due to our artificial elimination of the first. Manhood franchise is based on the assumption that an men are capable of forming respon- sible judgments, which every- body knows is absurd. The franchise must be limited, if we are to get good government. Cities are supported by the farms, not vice versa, a thing we British Columbians particu- larly need to remember. Given health, a family will never starve to death on a farm, although they may not make money, and it may involve going back to weaving cloth there, etc. Modern conveniences are not necessities, and can in the long run only be enjoyed by the few. Our insistence to the contrary has broken up more homes than aa our indulgence in the cardin- al sins. Without a deep sense of re- ligion, some religion, no civiliza- tion can last, for "God is not mocked." These are 0 few of the things we might remember. None of them are new, and most of them can be found enshrined in the writings of the great philoso- phers.

WELFARE NOTES Still seven other hampers were delivered over the week and to homes where Christmas Cheer was not forthcoming, in spite of the repeated requests through the press that neigh- bors keep their weather eye upon next doors to make sure that none were left out. It is to be hoped that those who receiv- ed the belated hampers were at least of Scotch descent, to whom Hogmenay means more than Christmas. Emptying the Bottles Starting the New Year in time honored style, the Food Conven- er has been emptying the bottles this of course referring to the milk bottles placed in the stores for stray coppers, and to hei de- light found nearly nine dollars, with stia some more to collect from. This proves the value of the small donation from 0 large number of people. Collection of I'arcels Sometimes, when 0 parcel is not collected immediately it ls offered, the donor is inclined to think that it is not needed. Donors are reminded that ao jobs connected with the Welfare are voluntary, and that it is sometimes difficult to find some- one able, at a moment's notice, to collect stray parcels. The Association would appreciate co- operation in this matter. Any- thing that is noi required for local use is passed on to other centres. The office is not open every day this month, and it would facilitate matters, if those who could, would deliver their own parcels to the Han, or when that is closed, either to 1243 Marine Drive or 2131 Marine Drive. Everything is needed by someone, somewhere! Thanks for Posters Many people helped with the posters in connection with events put on in connection with the Christmas Cheer Fund, es- peciaay the pupils of Hoayburn School, who turned out some very nice work. To them many thanks for their help. An Appreciation from Afar A former resident of West Vancouver, J. R. L. MacDaniel, Dennis Qusy, Kinesic, Co. Cork, Ireland, is evidently very much interested in his former friends and their well-being, for he has sent 65 across the Atlantic to the local Welfare Association. Kindly and practical thoughts of this kind travelling across the continent must leave good in their wake. Spedal Request A special request this week is for cooking utensils and men' underwear. A Reminder Christmas is past, and as is evidenced by the numerous tele- phone calls and letters of ap- preciation which continue to come, the Welfare Association "went over the top,o thanks to the cooperation of the citizens. Unfortunately the need does not stop with Christmas, the New Year has dawned on a stin troubled people who will need the staying power of a friendly hand for some time to come, therefore the work goes on,and will need the continued support of the public.
