C, Sept. 8th (by airmail) The absence of war atmosphere hera still puzzles your correspondent. Strolling along the waterfront saw the familiar veteran, the "Princess Louise , the CPR boat on the Victoria run, and beyond It towering over the freight shed roof, the bridge of a huge ocean liner. We supposed the latter was another CPR ship, but rounding the bend discovered It was an Australian liner In from "Down Under" for a week, In 1U war paint, a strange mixture of olive green and khaki, whlchemay or may not be the latest in camou flage. Th. .m on the bow had been painted out but being In raised letters, we finally deciphered It as the "Awatea' of Wel lington, and a fine looking ship she Is, between JO and 40,000 tons we should say, with elevators between decks, swimming pools, ball rooms, restaurants and all the modern comforts of a deluxe hotel of the deep. We know, for we walked all over her. Which brings us to the point this strange absence of war at mosphere. nd even normal and we should suppose necessary. war precautions. The gangplank was down near the stern, and while there were roustabouts lounging around, gang of paint-spotted tramps, daubing the hull a dull black, no one to challenge us and no one paid any attention to us, as we strolled alohg, around and about, and up and down, until we finally reached the bridge, high up above the bow where we struck the first sign of there being a war on, a crew of men were building bomb shelters around the bridge, piling blocks of concrete, roofed over like an Esqlmaux igloo. Also found one deck which apparently had been cleared of all cabins and was to be used for freight. or perhaps troops, Imag ine what one wandering Nazi with a time bomb In his suit case could have done! When we returned to the dock there was a Vancouver "Bob by" on guard at the end of the gangplank, but instead of stopping us he merely saluted smartly as we passed on. Throuoh the picket gate near the street there was another policeman, but he also paid no attention. We finally asked him If one eould go on board the ship. He shook his head, explaining there was war work going on, and visitors were not admitted. So we decided we Just happened to be on hand between watcnes or something of the sort, and were perhaps lucky not to have been shot for trespassing. However, the lack of war excitement what It Is, no guaras lor the ship would not have been so surprising. From one of the ship's crew we later learned the "Awatea" is a new passenger liner built for the British, American-Australian trade, but now In war service, and Instead of returning to Wel lington will proceed soon to England, with war supplies and prob ably several aviation ground units. The Japanese curio store on Grenvllle Street, has been hit hard by the war, altho a large sign at the entrance "owned and operated exclusively by Canadians" may have helped. w w w w Having some time to kill, took a bus over the Lion Gate sus pension bridge to West Vancouver and on to the Whyteside cliffs near the Vancouver channel entrance, about 12 miles west of the harbor. It was a clear, beautiful day, and from the cliffs one could see the outlines of Vancouver Island plainly, as well as in the other direction, Mt. Baker's snow-packed elegance. The sound, far below, was dotted with putt-putt fishing boats, and here and there were shore parties In bathing suits, we sat on the rocks an hour but saw no one catch a fish, or take a dive. Called at another Vancouver newspaper office, and had our first Impressions confirmed. The people of British Columbia are supremely, even sublimely, confident of final and complete vic tory. This view, however, Is not shared by either the army or the press, but the belief Is so deep seated, there seems to be no way of soon correcting It short of some fare-reaching and unexpected Nazi triumph. The second newspaper spokesman, explained it all on the suspension of the bombing of England and the abandonment of any German Invasion attempt. "Conditions are so much better NOW", he explained "than they were a year ago, that there is no comparison. As a result, a sense of false security has been created In this section of Canada and I guess throughout the Dominions. The Canadian government doesn't share this view and certainly Prime Minister Churchill doesn't, but you can't convince the man In the street that the danger Isn't over, and from now on all we have to do Is put our feet on the handle bars and coast. "Perhaps the fall of Leningrad will wake them up. Might be worth It, altho as long as the army, navy and air forte don't share the same complacency I can't regard the situation as really serious, or alarming." deliver the girl mother's Pullman ticket for Chicago, and did get another smile. e e e So what?

This action la assisted toy muscular contraction presslnc the blood along the veins, most 'of which have valves that pre vent backriow. It Is my contention that the mus cular force exerted by the heart, sup plemented by the elasticity of the arteries, Is entirely dissipated by the time the blood reaches the capillary paeea. But In the American Textbook of Physiology, Prof. William Howell of Johns Hopkins University, editor, I read: "It Is the force generated by the heart's contraction and made un iform by the elastic arte rl en which drives the blood Into and through the veins and back to the heart Itself.- These statements seem to conflict and I hope you can clarify the ques tion of the pressure In the capillary Apaoee or vessels or whatever they are. and In the veins, By the time I finish reading the letter I am entirely surrounded by authoritative works on physlolofry, Including, of course, a lat edition of Howell's textbook his own book. not the bill of goods he "edited.1 Move up closer, children, lean over the pile of books before you and listen carefully, for I'm nearly ex haustedhaven't laid eyes on the bowling green for nve consecutive and dreary day These letters are usually Interesting and ln&trucUve, but mhen they t,et me Juggling pond erous medical works around the play room here, I swan, they get me down.
