The editor informs me that he has had a number of requests, one of them being written, for the continuance of this column, for which I thank the authors. To those who like me, my pro- found salaams. To those who dislike me--and there are some who by their letters apparently would like to fry me in boiung oil--stlu doeper and more pro- found sabuuns. One can but write the truth, ugly or other- wise, as one sees it, the only trouble being, of course, that what appears to be the truth to one is to another 0 moat out- rageous falsehood. So, here we are again. ladies and gentlemen, for another spasm. ~ ~ ~ The published accounts of the Pacilic Scientific Congress here in our midst have enabled the people of Vancouver to get a close-up of the vagaries oi'he scientific mind. One scientist, for instance stated that theor- eticafiy man should live 187 years. It's a blessing, in view of the unemployment and the cost of old-age pensions, that we don't conform to this dictum in practice. Another stated that, if one kept tame catfish, one would know just when an earth- quake was due to shake up the old bones. That is fine, but the most important thing is obvi- ously to know one's next move, which the gentleman failed to indicate. As the old farmer said of his balky horse, "He' alright as far as he goes, bui the trouble is he doesn't go very far." The worst, however, was he who said that'adversity is a wonderful aid to long life. That'6 a new one, for it means booms and the death rate are in inverse ratio to one another. Personal- ly, brother, "It afi sounds like moonshine to me.o AU of us will heartily endorse the suggestion that the mucil- age on postage stamps be nicely flavored, as put forward at a convention of postmasters just held in London, Ontario. The account of the general discussion there would indicate that all present had licked so many stamps as to be able to detect difFerences in the taste thereof, the 1 cent variety being pre- sumably the worst. My eperl- ence has so far only enabled me to detect one, which I don't like at all. The president of the con- vention stated he had once got 0 mouthful, and it was terrible. One naturally asks what on earth was he doing with the stamps? ~ ~ We pride ourselves nowadays on our wonderful cleverness as shown in scientific achievement and its practical application to life. Yet knowledge does not bring happiness, and science, whik making life safer and more comfortable, has largely wrecked our religious beliefs without producing sny substi- tute. Hence a civilizat)on given to doubting everything and rev- erencing nothing. After aa man must worship a god or gods. It is the main diiference between him and the brute creation. A belief in religion, even if bolster- ed up with a little mediaevsl superstition, would be infinitely better than a slavish pride in science, which for the most part refuses to acknowledge the spir- itual side of human nature. The oriental sages think, while the majority of our scientists only experiment.

I'hone West 3631. 15th and hiarine "Right Service -- Right Grades" CLASSIFIED ADS vance sale of tickets for the Canada Pacific Exhibition from August 30th to September 6th. The advance sale is now in its tenth year. Instead of offering special inducements for gates alone this year there will be no advance sale on that but the gate charges have been reduced to 25 cents per head so that every member of the British Columbia public can attend the big Exhibition. The advance sale has to do with a combination ticket for the grounds and grand stand. The afternoon attraction at the grand stand this year is horse racing, and hundreds of fine thoroughbreds have been secur- ed for the event. The combined charge for the grounds and grandstand is much less than the indivdvdual charges for these attractions. The prizes include a fine closed automobile worth 81200 cash; a trip to Europe worth 81000 cash; and round trip to the World Fair at Chicago worth 8500. Tickets sre now on sale in every district of British Columbia or can be obtained on application to the Exhibition Offices at Vancouver. UNEbIPLOYED ASSOCIATION The regular meeting of the Unemployed Association of West Vancouver was held on Friady at 8 p.m. in the Socialist Hall, bfark Phillips presiding. The chief discussion of the evening arose out of a report given by bfr. Phillips on 0 case where relief had been refused and then ultimately granted. This is one of many instances where the organization has been instrumental in seeing that the tenne of the relief act are cor- rectly interpreted. The question of increased prices was also taken up by the meeting; the rise in sugar, fiour, meat etc., being a serious mat- ter to people in receipt of relief allowance. The matter will come up more fully at the next meeting which will be held on Friday, July 28th, at 8 p.m. in the Socialist Hall. bfembers and aa interested are urged to at- tend.

A duck belonging to Mrs. S. Laidlaw, 18th and Inglewood Avenue, has just hatched out a duckling having three legs and four feet.
