Anything we send you must match up to this in your estimation-or it will cost you nothing. Because my lobster is put up when it comes from the lobstermen's pots is why it is so fresh and crisp, and so different from the ordinary kind. It's just like lobster freshly picked from the shell.

The big, fresh, juicy, whole claw and body pieces are prepared and packed with the real lobster flavor left in.

Good highways should be continuous! We should have continuous highways available the year 'round. Traffic should continue to operate in winter as well as in summer. Economic development demands this. Mr. Roy O. Chapin, Chairman of the Highways Transport Committee, says: These main highways must be brought into a comprehensive system-patterned as the railroads have patterned their systems, striving to connect population and shipping centres with regions of natural resources-agricultural, mineral, etc. Permanent surfaced highways must be built and maintained sufficient to withstand the strain, and carry the traffic of the future. Of what use to National highways transportation are certain good sections of road, if some communities persist in their neglect to improve and properly maintain the connecting links? The facilities for motor car and truck transportation are already far ahead of the roads. This neglect of road improvement, therefore, is putting obstacles in the path of rapid national economic development. The one economical method of making and maintaining highways is Tarvia-macadam construction. Plain water-bound macadam is no longer strong enough for heavy-traffic highways, but Tarvia-macadam will stand the wear and tear of speeding automobiles and giant motor trucks. The initial cost of a Tarvia road is a little more than that of ordinary water-bound macadam, but the great saving on maintenance more than offsets the difference in first cost. Indeed, many communities are now using Tarvia on all their principal roads to save money. Communities that already have plain macadam roads that are, beginning to show wear will find that a prompt surface application of the appropriate grade of Tarvia will arrest their deterioration and greatly prolong their life, and at much less expense than by any other method. Lal er THE TRIUMPH OF AIRPLANE OVER OCEAN A first crossing of the Atlantic by a N event comparable only with the steamship or the laying of the first Atlantic cable was recorded on Tuesday, May 27. Lieutenant-Commander Albert C. Read in his plane the NC-4 flew the eight hundred miles from Ponta Delgada in the Azores to or near Lisbon, in Portugal. The fact that in the first "leg" of the flight the NC4 was held up for a day or more adds to the special interest in her triumph. She was fortunate enough to escape the fog which baffled and injured her comrades NC-1 and NC-3. That the first air-crossing of the Atlantic should have been made by Americans in an American plane will long gratify our National pride. The country is enthusiastic in congratulations to our Navy, to the gallant commander of the NC-4, to the builders of plane and engines, and to all who have taken part in the carefully planned preparation which has made this victory possible. THE RESCUE OF HAWKER AND GRIEVE The thrilling news that Hawker and Grieve, the bold aviators who attempted to cross the Atlantic in an airplane with a single engine, and whose death had been accepted as practically certain by every one, had been rescued by a tramp steamer, was received on both sides of the water with the utmost joy and relief. A few hopeful persons, and foremost among them Mr. Hawker's wife, had still maintained hopes that just what did happen would happen, but to most people the chance seemed so slight that the surprise was extreme. Hawker himself declares: "The risk wasn't so great as people thought. It was a perfectly straightforward attempt to fly over, not a ddo-or-die enterprise." The story of the flight, failure, and rescue has been told simply and with no attempt at sensationalism by Hawker and Grieve. It is evident that almost from the first they encountered trying conditions of air and wind; but the fatal trouble was neither because of those difficulties nor because of the failure of the engine itself, but because of trouble with the radiating system. Yet it was still possible to navigate, and after about twelve and one-half hours' flying from the start it was decided to do the only sensible thing, namely, to fly toward the nearest part of the ocean in which ships might be encountered. This plan was carried out JUNE 4, 1919 with the greatest success, for in two and one-half hours the Danish steamship Mary was sighted and was signaled by Hawker, and the airplane was brought to the water near the ship and the aviators rescued by the crew after they had been on the water an hour and a half. They were about 750 miles from Ireland at the time of their rescue. The whole story is one of courage, of efficiency, and of modesty. The risk taken was exceedingly great, but the outcome shows that coolness and resourcefulness played a large part in the adventure, as well as sheer bravery. It is one of the traits of human nature to admire and applaud such men as these, who are not applaud such men as these, who are not deterred by the elements or by danger from accomplishing that upon which they have set their minds. The reception to Hawker and Grieve in England could not be more enthusiastic if their victory had be more enthusiastic if their victory had been over armies instead of over the elements. CANADA'S LABOR TROUBLES Something that appears in certain particulars much like Bolshevism has arisen in Canada. It started in Winnipeg on May 15. There was a dispute between three employers and their employees. For reasons which are widely regarded as unjustifiable, the employers refused, we understand, to deal collectively with their employees. As collective bargaining is the keystone of organized labor, this refusal enlisted on the side of the employees involved in the dispute all the trade-union leaders. As a result, there were sympathetic strikes which developed into an approximately general strike in the city. Taking advantage of the situation, the Radicals or Reds tried to turn the strike into a sort of revolution. A strike committee undertook to establish what seems a very close approach to a "dictatorship of the proletariat." This committee issued permissions to operate restaurants, theaters, bakeshops, and to make deliveries of bread and milk. There was thus the beginning in Winnipeg of soviet rule. Like the Russian soviet, which is a council of manual laborers, and usually soldiers, this committee purposed to assume governmental functions. Among the strikers were telegraph operators, postal employees, and printers. For a while telegraphic and mail communication was interrupted or seriously delayed and daily newspapers were suspended. Within ten days the strike spread to other centers. Winnipeg, being a large and thriving industrial and railway cen ter, capital of Manitoba, affects the life of a large region. Workers in Regina, capital of Saskatchewan, the next. province to the west, and Edmonton, capital of Alberta, next province beyond to the west, and Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, joined in the strike early last week; and forty-seven unions in Toronto also voted to strike sympathetically. According to reports from the various centers involved, it seems clear that the Bolshevist element is not making much headway. On the contrary, the local, provincial, and Dominion governmental authorities have succeeded in maintaining sovereignty. There has been little, if any, serious disturbance. There has been no indication, so far as we have learned, that any soldiers have been employed to break the strike, or that there has been any intention to use armed men for that purpose; but the militia has been on hand ready for emergencies. So far order has been maintained by the usual civil agencies, such as the police. The cards on the bread and milk wagons and the theaters reading, "By permission of the strike committee," were ordered taken down by the Provincial Government and City Council, and soon disappeared. Newspapers have resumed publication with limited editions. Citizens of Winnipeg of all classes took the places of some of the striking postal employees and sorted mail. After a warning that those postal employees who did not return to work before noon on Monday, May 26, would lose their places in the Federal service and new employees would be engaged, a large majority of the postal employees refused to return. Two aspects of this strike have special significance. One is that large numbers of the strikers have no grievance against their employers, and many of them have struck in violation of agreements by which they were morally bound. This means that large numbers of wage-earners in Canada believe that what is the fight of one group of workers is the fight of all groups. It is a strike which has behind it a very considerable "class consciousness." The strongest statement about this which we have seen was made by Mr. A. McGovern, General Chairman of the Canadian Pacific Trainmen. His statement is the more significant because he is also Chairman of the Legislative Board of the Trainmen of Canada. Speaking for the trainmen, he said: "We are in warmest sympathy with the demand for an eight-hour day. We have that our |
