Queen Charlotte Airlines did a good job in pioneering the commercial air service along this' north coast and to the Islands in spite of the fact that rates were high and the aircraf t were not of the luxurious type such as are found on the main air routes. The pity is that Q.C.A. will not be carrying on now at least until the scheduled air licence has been granted either to themselves or the Canadian Pacific Airlines who are also in the field for a licence and, at last reports, were preparing to go rather extensively into the development of the service including the installation of an air strip contiguous to Prince Rupert. : It is to be hoped, in view of the situation where Prince Rupert now finds itself again without a regular air service, that the Air Transport Board and the Canadian Pacific Airlines or the Queen Charlotte Airlines, will lose no time in getting the run going again with a minimum of delay. THE SMALL BOY'S SOAP THAT atomic research has NOW been promoted to world politics, attention may be directed to those important minor fields of scientific study which necessarily are neglected in wartime. Consider, for instance, the significance of the correct solution to the problem of how little soap and water will wash the heck and ears of one small boy. ; Probably more dissension and bitterness has grown out of disputes about the minimum amount of soap and water necessary to wash boys properly, than out of any other hu-.man controversy. Despite the fact jthat this problem has marred the lives of mothers and boys eve?; since Jt became fashionable to have boys ;dean for brief periods, no concerted effort ever has been made to determine scientifically the quantity of rsoap and water required for a given quantity of boy. Grandmothers and favorite aunts have come closer than mothers to .'the right answer from the boys' Standpoint, but they have erred 'so jOften in the use of too little, to the Embarrassment of mothers, it is feared that the study cannot be left lo them. School-teachers lean toward 3he use of too much. Psychologists, particularly those who deplore Santa Claus, are too apt to give boys a greater freedom of self-expression tthan is warranted by the appearance lof the boys. Doctors are too inclined ;to regard anything less than a scrubbed, reddened skin as unhygienic. Fathers have proven their complete incapacity for the task. . Persons, perhaps only the judiciary, who can take an objective and impartial view of the problem should ;be found and appointed as a royal commission to determine quantities a n d to recommend procedures. Tables indicating the minimum of soap and water necessary for the various conditions and sizes of boys could be made available through the schools. Roys then would have the satisfaction of knowing that the fizzing of the soap in the ears, the smarting of it in the eyes, and the snaky shivers caused by "escaping water trickling down the abdomen and back, are the least suffering necessary to civilized appearance at mealtimes and on social occasions. Scales for the settlement of disputes between washees and washers should always be available. The saving in soap might solve the shortage. No washing of boys at all is out of the question, although we knew an old man of over ninety who could not remember ever having had a bath. He enjoyed both the absence of soap and water and a degree of privacy that would make city dwellers envious The possibilities of dry cleaning have been exhausted by the boys themselves.1-'' k-r v" Y' ' THE RATION OFFICE UE DO NOT KNOW what culosis seals is now under way prevention and control.

PILOTAGE DISCUSSED Council of Clumber of Commerce in Session With Officials Increase in Tees Proposed To discuss pilotage matters as affecting this port, particularly In the light of a proposal that is no being considered to Increase pilotage charges In order to provide highec remuneration f or .the pilots, Capt. E. S. Slocombe, assistant supervisor of Nautica! Services, Department of Transport, Ottawa, and Capt. C. Cla'X-ton,, superintendent of pilots, Vancouver, were in the city last nlsht and met with the executive of the Prjpce Rupert Chamber of Commerce. There was a general discussion and the opinion was expressed that there was no particular objection .to the remuneration, of the pilots being made more satisfactory to them but It was important that there ;hould be no unnecessary burden placed on shipping or port costs and. that any Increase that should be made In pilotage charges should be equitable and proportionate to all parts. The matter will be discussed by the Chamber's port committee and brought up at the regular monthly meeting of the Chamber next Friday. In answer to one of many questions '.hat were asked In regard to pilotage service, Capt. Clnxton told the meeting that, if there was a qualified pilot available at this port, he- would be added to the list of coast pilots as station pilot. Meanwhile, with little shipping requiring the services of a pilot using the port, It was tnot considered economic to maintain a Vancouver-resident illot here. Capt. Slocombe and Capt. Claxton were here -board the steamer Princess Adelaide making the round trin north from ''nnrouver. FIREMEN HIT AT FIRST AID REQUIREMENT j Dissatisfied with a resolution 'passed at the last city council , meeting two weeks ago which would makcitf,-mandatory f-r an industrial first aid certificate, a delegation of firemen last night succeeded in having the matter referred back to the utilities committee. Firemen Milton Hauser, Jack Ewart and Jack Furness, acting as delegates for the local firemen's union, charged that the mandatory first aid requirement "would penalize a good fireman who might not be able to pass the test." They told the meeting that six lircnen who had recently started :aking first aid classes oluntarily, had stopped taking such instruction pending satisfactory settlement with city council. "In other industries qualified first aid men get from 15 to. ,$20 a month extra. You are requiring us to have it as part of our ordinary qualifications" Jack Furness told the aldermen. Council had previously1 authorized an expenditure of up to $15 for tuition for those firemen who would take the classes, however, the delegation object ed to a clause under which the hannesburg women with the aid ' cty couid be rP.imbursed If the of camel-hair switches, so clever- i fireman left his lob within two ly dyed that they are .indistinguishable from the wearer's own "locks.

Foreseeing a lengthy debate befrre the matter is finally fettled, the council members referred It to the utiUties committee for discussion. Under the provincial firo law, a qualified first aid man ,1s required to be aboard the fire truck tvery time it leaves the hall on a fire call. 1CTI1 CENTURV FASHION In the 16th century women's rings were often worn suspended from a chain.
