CATS LOAFING ON JOB K A cities in Canada are making a special I VI effort to curb the activities of a rat population that is steadily increasing and causing millions lof dollars damage annually. They are not utilizing the sen-ices of cats but are depending largely on ; traps of one sort or another to do the work, i A member of the United States biological survey accuses American cats of loafing on the job. And to ', prove it he cites the fact that rats, which cats are ! supposed to exterminate, annually cause a property damage of at least $126,000,000 in that country. The biological survey evidently expects every ; cat to do his or her duty. writes. But my impression is that the percentage of male no-good-ers is no higher than it was say a deer.

KNOW YOUR GOVERNMENT EVERY Canadian should have a general know-' ledge of how the government operates, because every Canadian of voting age has the opportunity ( .of taking a hand in running the country, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce declares in a new publication "Know Your Government' which has ' just been issued. "The function of government is reaching deeper slarid deeper into our lives every year," the Chamber 'publication , says. "The work of government gets jmore complicated every day. But there are a few fundamental facts about our political way of doing ;things which still remain true, and they are worth previewing now and again." The booklet "Know Your Government" covers some of these facts in broad outline, dealing with .the Canadian Constitution, relations between the 'Dominion and the Provinces, the functions of Parliament, the Cabinet and the Courts. The duties of Ithe Governor-General, the Senate and the House of '.Commons are examined, and the machinery of passing a law. A short outline of the work of the .various government departments is given, and a jbrief survey of provincial and local governments, lasts of Cabinet members, and members of the 'House of Commons and the Senate are also included. In announcing publication of the booklet, the President of the Canadian Chamber, Robert A. $5ryce, commented: "The strongest protection for "democracy is an informed electorate. The voters must be informed on the issues of the day, but gqually important, they should understand how the democratic machinery of government works. 3. It's Clean! average family is no better off now than it was say around 1910. The wages LOOK higher ana maybe dad does not have to work so niany hours per week as dads did sav 'in 1910, 1920 or even 19f;oVlf8i0K ' , i But if you figure out what the average pay envempe would buy in 1910 and what it will buy today I think you will see that our "aavancement" is .more imaginary than real. We have far more gadgets in our houses. Vast numbers of families have cars. But my impression is that the average family Is not so well fed as was the case in 1910. The girls are more fasnionao;y clothed the men not so well, for today's suitings are pretty shoddy stuff. Am I right oi- wrong that more and more w;ves HAVE to work to make ends meet?
