Editorial Correspondence
En Route I.aka Louisa to Vancouver, C.P.R. "Mountaineer",
July 27th. Tha C.P.R. tacka on an open observation ear at Cal
gary and hauls it all tha way to Vancouver, with a trainman to
point out tha interesting features.
In all the world no mountain scenery like this!
The big reason ia the mountains don't rise gradually, from
foothill to foothill, and ao on to the snow-capped peaks far in
the distance, but they ahoot up directly like a sky rocket, until
they hit the sky, and then burst into bars rock, way up there
against the blue,
Fear the young man will have a sore neck tonight, he
knocks tha back of hia head against his shoulder blades, in his
determination not to miss tha very tippity top.
Tha "Great Divide" ia graphically aimplified. At the crest,
1 mile up, before rustie wood sign, two streams about a
food wide, separate, one flowing to the right, the other to the
left.
This Is tha "wishing; stream", put one hand in one, one
in the other and whatever you wish will come true.
The young man with characteristic modesty, is the first to
try it, and apends some tima in meditation, apparently making
the wish good one while he is about it. He refuses to divulge
its nature, however, because that would break the spell, aud
his wish would not be granted.
We have an idea his wish was to get rid of all hia Canadian
bills he got ehsnge for 5 U. S. money when he bought a
souvenir at Banff without losing his ten percent.
If he doesn't make a success in business it will probably be he
cause when he grows up, there won't be "no sich animule". He
certainly has the proper instinct at a very tender age. He came
on the trip with $10, and is already worrying about how much
spending money he will have when he reaches New Yorkl
If his uncle would give him good U. S. money for his Canadian
money it would help. (It would, but Uncle WON'T.)
'
One stream flows to the left and into the gulf of Mexico, via
Bow River and the Great Great Lakes, the other to the right
flows into the Pacific ocean via the Kicking Horse river and
the Columbia. The young man regards that as "super-super"
and then makes tha trainman repeat it, so there may be no mis
take. (He's going to spring that on his geography teacher when
he returns to school in September, and make her like it I)
e
There are three British movie men aboard, one cranking
his machine at the scenery while the boss takes notes and the
third, in one of the loudest "sport jackets" ever put out by
a British loom, appears to check up on both.
The trainman in hia patter speaks of a most interesting dis
play of fossil fish in one of the upper cliffs, whereupon the chap
in the Joseph's coat, observes that he knows all about that,
one of them waa served to him at tha Banff Springs hotel, Fri
day noon for lunch 1
They are a very gay trio, wise cracking about, and the
American school teachers on board, we should say about 90
of the Canadian tourists on the distaff side are school teachers,
are greatly intrigued, but go to great pains, of course, not to
let anyone suspect it.
Wherever the movie group goes they go, as the tripod is
set up here and there, but they say nothing or have said noth
ing, to any of the trio to date.
This indifference is shared by the Britishers, which nettles
one of the school teachers, very young and rather good look
ing she is too, who remarks to her companion, icily:
"They don't act ranch as tho thare was a war to be fought!"
"And I thought there waa a draft 1" ia her companion's
comment.
They dontl
But then, as far as we have been able to observe, no one
in Canada does. Aside from those two companies drilling this
side of Calgary, and a few soldiera at the stntions east of Banff,
we have aeen no militarism and no war indications of any sort.
War talk on the train is conspicuous by its absence. One of the
tourists asked the rear-end brakeman how he thought the war
is going.
His answer, rather testy, wasr
"Do you read the papers, ma'am, the R.A.F. is doing
them in, in each and every report!"
e
We suspected a bit of irony in this, but a glance at the
brakie's solemn features, removed any suspicion of it,
Thus fsr we would say that this supreme confidence char
acterizes the attitude of Canada toward the war, the possi
bility of a British defeat by Germany simply isn't mentioned,
because it isn't even considered.
It may be different in official circles, but we should say
this is without doubt today the Canadian psychology of the
"man in the street."
Saw more wild life on this trip than ever before, three
moose and a bear, none of them over 3 or 4 hundred feet from
the track. One of the moose, a bull, hrowsintr on deep marsh
grass, threw up his head and splashed off, he was as big as
an elephant, with an antler spread of about Ifi feet!
Whether these were scared up by the C.P.R. for the benefit
of the movie men we don't know, but certainly the camera oper
ator got his money's worth.
Well there is no doubt of this: If England should become
too hot for comfort, there is room for everybody here and with
a chicken in every pot! One can't escape the impression, as the
train plows along from hamlet to hamlet, that here is an empire,
that is relatively undeveloped as the I'nited States was two or
three generations back. The leisurely progress of the long train, 1
17 cars in this section accentuates the fact. No stream line
Muff, no 39 hours from Chicago to the coast as in the states,
long stops, leisurely waits, the eutire tempo of the gay nineties ,
no 39 hour run, but tN!
However if one really wishes to SKE the country, that is
the speed oue should travel throuirh it.
Unusual weather, for it's still raining off and on, like April.
o sirauy sunsmne, anu no neat, thank liod, since we
crossed the Canadian line.
Had a late dinner anil much to our surprise the entire
kitchen crew marched in promptly at 8, was joined by all the!
waiters, but our one (dining car waiters up here are white) anil
they all proceeded to eat, (and how!) aided and abetted by the
little cockney steward himself.
Even more of a shook, the chef in-chief smoked while he
ate and the "first cook" ate with his knifeM
Nothing on the trip, however, quite as beautiful as Lake
Louise, to our way of thinking at least.
The lake, itself, due to the rains, not a clear bine, but a
milky green-blue, a very beautiful jade like shade, then the
two mountains on either side, sloping down to the water's edge
at the far end, until they nearly meet, and behind that a lnu-e
staue back-drop from "Gotterdamerung," the famed Victoria
glacier "back drop", leading up to a huce hanijins: glacier,
so close to the low clouds, it is. at first mistaken for one.
until one gets out the field glasses snd perceives it's solid ice.
from two to three hundred feet thick!
And every now and then, from sunup to sunset, a deep
reverberating roar like distant thunder, this weather many
mistake it for thunder, but it isn't. it's a tiny avalanche,
snow and ice breaking off and crashing below, down, down,
two or three thousand feet!
W started to walk up to the glacier fields, but it proved
too much, and not for only tha old man, either, tha young
one, knew, too, when it was tima to quit. (Violent exercise isn't
so hot at over 5000 feet.) The young one decided to revive him
self on a package of cherry lifesavers, proceeding immediately
to get a stomach ache, which was no better when he reached
the Chateau, in fact so much worse thst tha house doctor was
summoned.
Had the H.D. not carried tha familiar black bag we would
have mistaken him for one of the younger bell hops, didn't
look a day over 26, and perhaps wasn't.
But he knew his stuff from the House doctor's standpoint,
took the lad's temperature, felt hia pulse, made him say "ah",
gave him a brief tattoo on the midriff, and then, much to the
young man's disgust, told him he was perfectly all right, only
needing a pill and a good night's sleep.
Everyone felt the same way, the next morning, when the
"pill" proved to be an alka seltzer tablet, and the adolescent
M.D.'a bill for it was included in the room statement! R. W. R.

EXPECTANT GRANDFATHERS NEED IODINE TOO
Once more, observes one of
my medical friends well, any
way a physician who still
speaks pleasantly when we
meet you
seem to be ten
years ahead of
the profession.
The doctor's
flattering com
ment was oc
casloned b y
the recent re
port of Uni
versity of Ore
gon investiga-j
tors that small
quantities o f
iodine given to
e x pectant
mothers produce a greater sense
of well being before their babies
are born, easier childbirth, few
er abnormalities or complica
tions of labor, greater success in
nursing babies and quicker re
covery of normal condition fol
lowing childbirth.
When the doctor said I seem
to be ten years ahead of the pro
fession he referred to my advo
cacy of a nip of iodine for
everybody. You know, the Iodin
Ration. Maybe you don't know.
If not, then you should know.
Send me a stamped envelope
bearing your address and ask
for Instructions for Taking the
Iodln Ration. (Iodin Is my way
of spelling iodine and I'm go
ing to stick to It.)
Modesty, believe it or not,
constrains me to say that I have
never urged expectant mothers
to take the Iodin Ration, altho
I do say, in the booklet "Pre
paring for Maternity" (for copy
send ten cents coin and stamped
envelope bearing your address),
In most places, especially
where goitre Is common the ex
pectant mother may well take
a suitable iodin ration thruout;
pregnancy . . . Long experience
has proved that this is harmless,
even when iodized salt is used
instead of plain salt in the
household."
When an expectant mother
asks whether it Is safe for her
to take the Iodin Ration, I re
fer her to her own doctor. Now
that the profession Is catching
up, perhaps I need not bend
so far backward in deference
to the amenities of medical
ethics.
But I make no bones of as
suring expectant fathers that a
nip of iodine two or three times
a week Is nearly always bene
ficial, and as for expectant
grandfathers, it really helps
them to stay In the game and
to get more joy out of life.

A little iodine Is necessary for
normal functioning of the thy
roid gland. In a few regions
of the country possibly there
la still enough iodine in the
soil and water to supply enough
to animals and people who
drink the water and eat the
foods grown on the soil. In
most regions the iodine has
been laked from the soil and
carried in streams and rivers
down to the sea, so that there
is not quite enough left to sup
ply animal and human require
ments in the ordinary way.
Foods from the sea are rich in
iodine, but in many parts of
the country people do not get
enough sea food, or are not
fond of it, or are afraid of it
for some foolish reason. In
some sections, through co-operation
of health authorities
and manufactuers, the use of
iodized salt. In place of ordin
ary salt, has brought to a con
siderable portion of the popu
lation at least some of the
Iodine they need.

hands of a public commission. But
to anyone who knowa their thoughta

these men will ever succumb to ap

The Morgan Influence extenda
through a large sector of American
industry. Perhaps even more im

so-called "Rockefeller group", made

Tet to repeat, the matrix for the
growth of an appeasement opinion
doea not exist. Certain Isolated In

heavy business commitments In gen

In an appepasement direction. The
head of an oil company which hola a
monopoly In one of the fascist na
tlona, and will now lose money by
the administrations oil embargo, has
made no secret of his desire for what
is euphemlstlcaalty refrerred to aa a
"realistic" or "business-like" ap
proach. The chief of the oversesa
department of one of the big motor
companies talks appeasement ao en
thusiastically thst his fellow execu
tives, who hold ' atrongly-oppposed
views, commonly refer to him aa
"our own fifth column." Others
might be named.
These men who hsve virtually
come Into the open are extremely
rars. however. What la much more
disquieting la the reasonably friendly
reception In certain tmporant Wall
street quarters of the Qerman com
mercial counselor. Oerhard Westrlck.
Weetrlck hsa established himself tn
New York handsomely. Because he
represented msny American firms In
Berlin during the erea of the "20's,"
he haa numerous old acquaintances

broad-room luncheons, and he Is ac

The line or gooda Westrlck sells

ELEVEN prominent British
" business men are seized by
the Japs in raids in five Japan
ese cities. The seizure is for
"undisclosed reasons." The Bri
tish charge that it is partly as
a result of German ' pressure.
The Japs say it is because of
British spying.
The truth, undoubtedly. Is
that it is part of the process of
tightening Japan's grip on the
Far East.
Japan's program of conquest
is Just as definite as Hitler s.
TTHE U. S. treasury is shipping
five billion dollars worth of
gold to Fort Knox, Kentucky,
to be placed in underground
vaults for safe keeping. The
shipment goes by mail, and the
postage will be about $1,000,
000. The treasury department pays
it. The postoffice department
gets it. The principle is the same
as if you took a dollar out of
your pants pocket and put it into
your vest pocket.
INCIDENTALLY, the reason
1 the gold has to be shipped to
Fort Knox is that it is coming
from Europe so fast $400,000,
000 in one week that the
vaults In New York are getting
crowded beyond capacity.
tJITLER'S minister of econo-
mics boasted the other day
that Uncle Sam's great gold
hoard (now around 80T. of the
world's monetary supply) will
be useless after the war.
Is he right?
Professor Oliver M. W. Spra
gue, of Harvard, probably the
worlds leading gold authority,
says that although there will
probably be temporary disloca
tions after the war gold over the
long pull will CONTINUE to
perform its usual monetary pur
pose because over the thousands
of years men have been doing
business with each other gold
has proved to be the MOST
SATISFACTORY MONEY avail
able. ' Body Recorered
