We Want Belter - Beads in Cbyarry

After tlie advent of thé automobile “good roads*» was the cry throughout the country and the. United Counties

Stormont,. Dundas and Glengarry were injected with the virus. A la%e delegation from the ' counties enthu-

.elastically endorsed the scheme before the Counties Council and a representative of the government. The Ontario government was to take over the Front Road passing Summerstown and Lancaster, the counties were to take over certain leading roads in Glen- garry and the other two countie's and the townships were to maintain the remaining roads not so much used. ‘

The scheme was adopted by . the ’^Counties Council and the Gov- ernment and the following roads in Glengarry were taken over by the Counties; not all at the same time, but the following are notw counties roads so far as we have ascertained;

(1) The road from Bainsville north to Dalkeith and from Dalkeith to Lag- gan.

(2) The road from Summerstown north through îiârtihtpwn, Apple Hill and Maxville to the, border near St. Isidore.

(3) The road from Làncaster west through Williamstown and the, North Branch to Grant *s Corners.

(4) The King*s Road from Bridge End through St. Raphaels au^ Mar- tintown.

(6) The first Lochiel road and third Of Kenyon road from east o^ ^len Robertson across the county to the Stormont border near Monkland.

(6) A road from Greenfield to Dunvegan. V

These are not numbered according ' to the little tags we occasionally sep

along the side of the road but it fairly sets out what in Glengarry, ig assigned as County Roads. '

Stormont and Dundas were assigned roads as County Roads. Though they have been assigned more, according to aiea^ we have no great quarrel about that.

But what jve do take strenuous objection to^ is the present condition of tmr <le»nnty Roads in Glengarry com-^ pared with those of Stormont and Dun- das.

Let us fir^ compare the most east erly north and south road from Bains- ville north to Dalkeith with the most westerly one from Iroquois north though Brinston and Mountain to Hall ville. The one in Glengarry is narrow and dangerous with two sharp and abominable corners at each concession and no-w all cut up with ruts—the, other aè the west, a well paved road, a little cut Up in places but the one in Glengarry is to be classed as “bad**^ the otjier “good.**'

On-coming down to Provincial High ways let us compare the Military Road with the Morrisburg Highway north through \^nchester to the QaJileton boundary. One a poor gravel road with the exception of u six mile ribbon of concrete and the other one the- most perfect full width cement highway all the distance except, six and a half miles which is a fair paved road.

But of all the inequalities let compare the centre road running from the Quebec boundary west through Glen Robertson^ Alexandria, third of Kenyon, Monklandjs, Fiiêh, Chester", ville, Winchester and Hallville as the same exists in Glengarry and the . other two counties. Let us take two sections, first, the third of Kenyon, and second the road from Chesterville to Win- chester side road. They are both about the same distance, eight miles. At certain times of the year, uot winter, the third of Kenyon road is scarcely pas- sable with an ox-team while from Chesterville to Winchester there is a speedway as good as any roa^ in the province.

Surely it is time for the ratepayers ' in Glengarry to wake up to the fact

that we are paying our proportioîate part of building speedways in the other'^two counties and getting very little in return,

^ ^ In 1907, there was a movement to separate our county from the Unitec! Counties and set up municipal government of our own. A vote was taken |)ut for reasons, that heed not ne;w be discussed, the movement was lost by a narrow majority. . The, tendency since that time is toward larger units cf government and with that we agree so long as the.rights of different sections are honored and respected. But if we do not get fair and equitable treatment that spirit of separation may arise again.

After*all, we consider Glengarry as the parent county not only of our three

About Ready To Talk To Canada on Trade Pacts

Washington,, Jan. 14.—The ' state department was repo-rted authorita- tively today to be almost ready to epen negatiations on a trade agreement with Canada.

Preliminary diseuissioiiis between William Duncan Herridge, th^ Can- adian minister, and the state department have been in progress infopm- ally for several weeks and it was expected formal announcement :of the opening of negotiations would be made in the neap future.

State department officials declined to discuss any of' the details but it was was understood the Canadian agreement may differ from other agreements being negotiated under ,the Roosevelt tpade expiansion program by being limited to specified items rather than covering the entire trade field.

Canadian commitments under the Ottawa agreements were understood to be one of the first questions to be ironed out in the discussions now in progress.

Major Herpidge has made several trips recently between Washington and Ottawa in connection with the preliminary discussions.

tario Dejpartment of Health, accompanied by Dr. Murray Thomson, North Bay, Ont., Unit Medical Director, ar rived in town on Tuesday morning to inaugurate, organise and put in operation the new Health Unit, the first of the kin^ in the Province of Ont- ario, which therefore will be known as the No. 1, Unit. The work, of the unit will cover the counties of Glen- garry, Stormont, Prescott and Bussell and when completed wilb be a permanent set up for Public Health organization. There will b ea nucleus of per manent full time staff which will operate in a co-ordinated scheme with local municipal personnel. The unit is unique in that a limited measure of miedical. ttrelatment and bedside nursing will be incorporated with the health work.

The Bocke^feller Foundation, with whom this project was discussed, have indicated their interest in the scheme by making a substantial contribution towards the financing of the unit in its initial stages. Dr. Thomson, who has already assumed the many details pertaining to the office of organizer and supervisor will make Alexandria his headquarters and in the spring will be joined by Mrs. Thomson and family. (Wc welcome Dr. Thomson to Alexandria and feel assured that our citizens generally will not only make him feel very much, at home but will be only tyo pleased to give him their fullest cooperation in the useful and humane project which he ns inaugura- ting.

Alexandria' and district sport fans who have often admired the skill of the Pilon boys on lacrosse field and hockey rink will be pleased to know that Maurice an^ Paul are showing up well ini Ottawa hockey circles. Maurice is playing for Emeralds in the Ottawa City Senior Hoêy League, while his pother Paul, a stu- dent at St. Patrick’s Colleger, is. star- ring for that institi^y|gn.’s/icemen^ in the Junior City Leaê.

That this is not just a “flash in the pan” is proved by a gla^nee at tbe scoring statistics of tthe Junioq Hockey League which shows Paul to be but third from the top with a total of 23 scoring points.

These two boys, so recently members of our local teams, have always been favorites with Glengarry fans because of their skill and clean playing and their successes will always be weT-' come newg here. 0

REPAIRING TILLAGE IMPLEMENTS

Careful repairing of tillage machinery each winter or early spring with replacement of doubt- ful or worn parts has-been proven by the Dominion Experimental Station ot Swift Current in experi- ments on cost of operating farm machinery to pay large dividends by preventing major costly repairs.

Tillage implements generally receive less care and more hard knocks than any other class of farm machinery.

The value of any implement can only be mea- sured by its usefulness in acres covered, quality of work done and freedom from the necessity of costly repairs and delays. Delays due to breakdowns during the rush tiUage season of spring and summer are costly and easily prevented if the farmer, with a few tools and a little time, will Cheek over carefully every working or wearing part long before he is going to use the machine.

' Check over every machine carefully for loose, worn or stripped bolts ; replace broken spring washers and check all loose or slack parts, wheel and power lift bearings, disk boxings and all mov-

zation, ând as a result the Canadian Council on Boys’ and Girls’ Club work began to function in May of that year. Thus it is that consiàprable progress in agriculture among the young farmers and farmerettes of Canada is brought to the front in a national way and justifies to the fullest extent the slogan of the boys’ and girls’ farm clubs “Learn to do by Doing.” 0-

CANADIAN FACTORY CHEESE

According to “The Agricultural Situation and Outlook” about to be published by the Dominion Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the Department of Trgde and Commerce, factory cheese production in Canada continues to decline. From calculations based on the volume of cheese graded, which represents approximately 93 per cent of the total output, it is estimated that the make will be about 88 million pounds in 1934 as compared with 111,044,628 pounds in 1933. Cheese production in Ontario and Quebec represents approximately 96 per cent of the total output for Can- ada and it is expected that production in these provinces will be considerably below that pf 1933. In Quebec-there is a tendency to shift from cheese

(Toronto Globe, Dec. 28.) PART TWO

Such being an explana,tory statement of the facts and Consti- tutional position, let us look for a moment at what the Supreme Court of Cana.da and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have said about the matter.

The Privy Council, in the volume of appeals for the year 1912, Appeal casés, page 342, says :

^‘Now the efféct of Subsection 10 of Section 92 of the British North America Act is, their lord- ships think, to transfer the ex- cepted works mentioned in sutr heads (a), (b) and (c) of it into Section 91, and thus to place them under the exclusive jurisdiction and control of the Dominion Par- liament. ’ ’

Then, in the volume of Privy Council a,ppeal cases for the year 1899, at Page 585, “Coal Mines” were considered to be a compe. tent subject for the Dominion to deal with and to come within the legislative authority of Section 92, subsection (10), of'the B.N.A. Act.

Another recent instance of the Paj-liament of Cana,da invoking the authority of the above clause and subsection o fthe B.N.A. Act is in the" cdse of the Grain Act of Canada, Revised Statutes of Can- ada, 1927, Chapter 86, by whicf “grain elevators” are regulated the tiuties of persons engaged in the business of operating ele valors defined as regards the cleaning of grain ,the grading and storing of it.

It was under the authority of Clause (c) of Section 92, sub- head (10),,that the Parliament of Canada enacted \that Grain Act, which by Section 233 provides that:

“All grain elevators and ware- houses of whatever variety or kind mentioned in this act, in- eWdihg public elevators, private elevators, eastern elevators, ter- minal elevators, mill elevators, manufacturinga and county ele- vatfors, -wilietjier heretofore constructed or hereafter to be constructed, are and ea,eh of them is hereby declared to be Works or a Work for the general advan tàgè of Canada, ’ ’ and the act then goes on, in an appendix, to list spefically large numbers of these elevators, which were thus trans- fered to Dominion jurisdiction.

The foregoing declaration as to grain elevators is also founded on a judicial decision of the Su- preme. Court of Canada, in 1925 where the Right Hon.. Sir Lyman Duff, the Chief Justice of the Su- premè Court , and the la.te Chief Justice Anglin, stated that the Dominion Parliament could acquire control of grain elevator.; by a déclara,tion of the kind referred to, and as authorized by Section 92, Subsection (10), sub- head (c) of the B.N.A. Act, and following upon that decision the Grain Act mentioned was made law by the Dominion ' Parliament.

See that case in the Supreme Court of Canada, Volume for 1925, Sup. Ct., Rep., Page 447 ; (1925), Vol. 3, Dom.. Law Rep., at Pages 8 apd 12„ where the court sayS:

‘ ‘ There is one Way in which the Dominion may acquire authority to regulate a local work such as an elèvator, and that is by a declaration properly, fram- ed under Section (92),^(10), of the B.N.A. Acit.”

In another case in the Supreme Court of Canada, in 1925, the late Mr. Justice Newcombe illns- to butter manufacture. The relatively higher price

„ for butter in comparison with cheese is one of the trated the extent of the jurisdic- ing \parts should be adjusted for wea,r. Clean all causes of this change taking place. working parts Of old grease, oil, dirt and steel par- ticles with kerosene and replacé with plenty of fresh lubricants.

Plough shares, cultivator shovels, disk blades and all cutting edges should be sharpened well in advance of Spring. Have all spare sets sharpened as Well. Cheek the alîgnmeii'fe of brace arms, beams, hitches, landslides and mouldboards. Harrow teeth and cultivator shanks generally need straighten- ing after every season’s run.

Make a list of all new parts needed, secure these during the ■ winter and replace the old parts before spring work starts.

Tests at the Swift Current Station have shown that thoroughly repaired implements gave trouble- free service, whereas, carelessly cheeked over machines caused frequent loss of time and higher operating costs, Sharp cutting edges, correct align- ment of draft, uniformity of dqpth and proper working of all moving parts will reduce materially ihe draft and cost of operating tillage implelnents,

Reports from the Western Provihees would indicate that production was maintained in 1934 but thq volume is comparatively small. The low prices prevailing in the United Kingdom market, to which the bulk of the cheese is exported, and

ithe more favourable prices for other dairy products on the domestic market have been contributing factors . in affecting the trend of production fn Cknada.

Storage stocks of cheese in Cana.da up to last July were higher at the beginning of each month in 1934 than in 1933. The lack of demand from the United Kingdom was conspicuous until very late in the fall. The improvement in exports to the United Kingdom during October and November was such that storage stocks of cheese, as at Decem'ber 1, 1034, were a.bout 1 p.c. above those for the same date in 1933. Cheese consumption in Canada is low in comporison with that of other countries ahd in 1933 was estimated at 3.3 pounds per capita compared with 3.35 pounds in 1932.

tion of the Parliament of Canada Incidental Subjects,

vided that “all works or Under- takings of the Commission are hereby declared to be works for the general advantage of Can- ada.” That statute also gave the Commission power to make by- laws to enable it to carry into effect the purposes for which it was constituted, and one of the by-laws it passed enacted that no person should operate upon the Commision’s driveways a vehi- cle for the transportation of passengers, and imposed penalties for any breach of it ,and the Court of appeal decided that this act was valid exercise of the jurisdiction of the Dominion Par- liament under its declaratory power, even though it concerned and rela.ted only to “works” in and about the City of Ottawa, the court saying, at Page 61: “-I can see no escape from the conclusion that the undertakings of the Commission are subject to the exclusive authority of the Dominion Parliament. ’ ’

Defining the nature and un- limited extent of the Declaratory Power of the Parliament of Can- ada in this matter, it is most important to knew what the courts have said about it. Far-Reaching Power.

The Supreme Court of Canada, in a case as recent as the yeai 1925, has stated that: “The pow er conferred on Parliament to declare that works wholly situate within the Province are for the general advantage of Canada or for the advantage of two or more of the Provinces, is obviously a far-reaching power. Parliament as the sole judge of the advisa- bility of making this declaration as a. matter of policy which it alone can decide. And when the power is exercised in conformity with the grant, it vests in Parlia ment exclusive legislative authority over the local work which it removes from the Provincial field to the Federal field of jurisdiction. ... It is thus a sovereign legislative power which the Par- liament of Canada exercises.”

And again, in the year 1928, the Supreme Court of Canada, speaking through the Right Hon. Sir Lyman Duff, the Chief Jus tice, all the other Judges concur ring, in the Volume for 1929, Sup. Ct. of Canada Rep., at Page 220. described this declaratory power of the Parliament of Canada as follows :

“The authority created by Sec- tion 92, (d0(, (c)„ is of a most unusual nature. It is an autohrity given to the Dominion Parlia- ment to clothe itself with jurisdiction—in respect of subjects over which, in the abséncè of such action by Parliament, exclusive control is, and would remain vested in the Provinces. Parlia- ment is empowered to withdraw from that control matters coming within such,subjects, and to as- sume jurisdiction itself It wields an authority which enables it, in effect, to rearrange the distribution of legislative powers effected directly by the act,, and, in some views of the enactment, to bring about changes of the moat radical Import in that distribution; and the basis and condition of its action must be the decision by Parliament that the ‘work or undertaking’ or class of works or undertakings affected by that action is ‘for the general advantage of Canada,” or of two or more of the Provinces; which decision must be evidenced and au- thenticated by a solemn declaration, in that sense, by Parliament itself.

AGE LIMIT NO PROBLEM TO W.C.T.U.

(The Globe) Nobody is too young, nobody is too old, to playt

a part in the broa.d worÉ program of the Women’s Christian Tenjperænoe Union. Two hundred delight- ed w'omen guests at a luncheon recently at Willard

'■Bhll had this fact presented to them in the “Seven Ages of Women’’ pageant which was a feature of the program. Willard and Riverdale Unions were the hostess groups at the luncheon, and Mrs. Wil‘ liam Jugsley, the President of Willard, acted as Chairman, assisted by Mrs. David Potts, President of Riverdale.

What are the seven ages of wmmen? And what is their relation to the work of the W.C.T.U.? Mrs. Pugsley. gave an interesting explanation and each “age”, was illustrated effectively by a group of members in costume.

Pink bonnets and jackets added a pretty touch to the costume of the first “age”—babyhood and' the pre-school stage: This represented the “Little White Ribboners” in the W.C.T.U.

Clad in middy blouses and pleated skirts, the “school girl” group told of the work of the Band of Hope.\ Young girls in costume represented the young Women’s Christian Temperance Union. A briâe in satin and tulle veil stood for the Young People’s Christian Temperance Union. A group of matrons represented the backbone of the organisa-, tion, the W.C.T.U., and the seventh group—the gfrandmotiidrs—was honored because of the fine example set in service a.nd len.dership.

“Nobody is too young or too old to belong to us,” said Mrs. Pugsley, who pointed out that the W.C.T.U. program embraces- forty kinds of work.

‘ ‘ There is no branch of welfare work into which we do not enter,”

Greetings were brought to the gathering by Mayor Simpson, who expressed his willingness to co-operate with the W.C.T.U. in every w^y possible. In the absence of the Minister of Health, Dr. J. A. Faulkner, the Deputy" Minister, Dr, J. W. Bell, gave and interesting talk on health matters. Dr. Gordon Bates of the Sdcial Hygiene Council also gave a thoughtful address, and Mrs. P C. Wardi> the Dominion W.C.T.U. President, was a, guest of hono(r. The prpgrame \included P^'ench-Oanadian and negro reading by Mrs. Allan R.

CARE OF YOUR SEWING MACHINE

Proper oiling of the niachine is essential to its easy running, but oil is not its only need. The machine should first be gone over, cleaning out every place where lint and threads can collect. Under the presser-foot is the best place and the cavity where the bobbin case fits also needs careful attention A fine crochet .-hook is good for cleaning this cavity.

Usé Coal Oil Then the a.ccumulation of oil and dust which

have gummed together should be removed. This is best done with kerosene, which cuts the gum. After filling all the oil holes with it, the machine should be run rapidly for several minutes, so that the kerosene may penetrate every joint. It should then be carefully wiped off, after which every oil hole above and below should have a thorough oiling with the best oil that can be obtained. It is a mistake to use any oil at hand, as the best oil is none too good for the sewing machine Always after eijing place a wet cloth under the needle to absorb thé oil that will run down the needle-bar. Leave the needle un- threaded while oiling the machine. It, is not so much the age or-make of the machine, but the cleai\ running gear that makes the difference,

When the belt gets too loose, if only slightly so, place a few drops of castor oil on thé side that touches the wheel, and run the machine fast for a minute or two. If very loose it is well to take out the hooks or, lacing which fasten the belt together, cut off a small bit ,then fasten again.

The Needles. When buj'ing new needles care should be exer-

cised as in some makes of machines the form of the needle is changed at various tmes. When sending for needles the number of the machine should be- given for this enables those filling the order to send the proper kind. Needles which have blunt points can be sharpened on any" stone nsed for knife sharp- ening. But- there will be fewer blunt needles when people learn to femove work from the machine without bending the needle so that its point strike the edge of the plate beneath. It is juSt as easy to remove the work with loose threads' above and be-

Additional width at the centre back may be given in similar fashion. ' -

Too Short How to restyle a too-short or too-narrow skirt

depends much on the type of.skirt and its material In spite of the advent of the “pencil silhouette” many contradictions of this outline are to be seen, especially for youthful wearers, whose dressy forcks may be widened and lengthened by mean of some- what scanty ruffles, shaped flounces and closely laid pleats. Some new models have deeply pleated insets on both sides of the back and front skirt panels and others have cutaway sections of the skirt filled in with shirred fullness. This feature has its advantages for the remodeler, as skirt material may thus be cut and used for an 'applied hip yoke to add length .Taffeta is the favorite for these skirt insets as it combines -well with different materials' and is always considered youthful. Vel- veteen and corduroy are both suitable for combin- ing with sturdy woollens and a short remnant will be enough for an applied band at the bottom of a too-short sports skirt or a shallow yoke at the top, with a scarf collar and covered buttons to match on the jacket. 0 ^

HANDY NEWSPAPERS

There are many uses for old newspapers. In fact, if the housewife only realized it, they are a valuable help in reducing work and increasing comfort. '''

Most women never think of it, but when-they stand ironing, for instance, their feet will ache intolerably. This “ache” can be mo.st easily avoided by making a'thick mat out of old newspapers. And all standing jobs can be relieved of much of their strain if wads of newspapers are put on the floor. -

.England, Ireland Claim Greenest Sod in World

.\n Knglish poet and ' essayist de- iares that there is no grass so beau-

nltii as Hiiglish grass, and Americans ■'"Ijo Iiave feasted their e.ves on the •inglisii .sward will be inclined to agree

■villi him, declares a writer in the Bos- on Transcript. But an Irishman, in- lignant at the boast, retorts that the real glory of grass is only to be seen n Ireland. “It is the greenest and

most Inscious grass,” he says, “in all .'he world. One of the first things an Ti.shnian remarks in England is the lesser brilliance of the verdure. The Emerald Isle has been well and truly named.”

The truth probably is that any -laims to excellence in the matter of grass by England, Ireland or Scot- and would be as difficult to decide IS the fabled claims of Minerva, .luno md Venus to possessing more match- less beauty than the other two. The misty, moist weather of the British Isles, neither parching in summer nor killing in winter, is more congenial to grass than any' other region on earth. And If, added to that, there is taken into account thé centuries of care of the turf in those islands, the visitor from other countries must des- pair of matcliing it at home. But, as between Ireland and England, he would be a bold man who should ven- ture to award the prize-for grass to one or the other. Perhaps the palm should go to Ireland because the bright verdure of her hills and vales gave her her sobriquet ages ago, and may have suggested the choice of her national plant, the shamrock, and the color of her national flag. The diplo- matic way to express an opinion in the matter is to declare that all Brit- ish grass is good but that some ir undoubtedly better than others.

DRINK PLENTY OP WATER

' Water is one of the good things of life that we just take for gi'anted. Most of us do not drink as much water as we should to keep our body machinery in the best of condition. We would not think of letting the car go wthout water but forget its importance to the body. Ail food has to be dissolved in water before it can be absorbed and it is very necessary to carry off the waste products. There are a good ma^ny people who feel that they should not drink with their meals. If they use a liquid to wash down their food it is very wrong but otherwise it is an aid to digestion. Thei'e are '«ome people 'who would get no liquids at all if it^were not for the tea aiid coffee that they drink with their meals^ Too much tea or coffee is not good but a properly made cup of either acts as a mild stim- ulant and an aid to digestion. Temperance is required with tea and coffee because undoubtedly harm can be done by the use of too much of them. Try to drink tw’o glasses of water in the middle of the afternoon.

Fundamentals of table setting include orderli- ness, cleanliness, harmony, beauty, suit- ability. These requirements are the same for Jane Smith, Miss Smartly of Mrs. Grandperson. Table linen must be immacu- late and well ironed. Children who are used to spotless linen wdll naturally acquire a sense of respon sibility in keeping it so.

Killer Whale Small, but Match for Great Sperms

The Greenland whale, though huge, is timid and harmless, but the killer whale, much smaller, is one of the fiercest denizens of the ocean, and Ls the only spe<*ies of cetacean which has a complete set of teeth in both jaws. Killers huntj in packs and are thus much more than a match for the great cachalot or sperm whale, notes a writer in Tit-Bits Magazine.

According to an Antarctic explorer, in attacking the killers leap high into the air by the whale’s side. Two or three of them attack its jaws until they rend them asunder. They then devour the tongue, which will fre- quently weigh as much as four tons, leading their huge prey to die.

The explorer also asserted that he had seen a pack of eight to twelve killers come to the ice-edge and leap six feet out of the water, as if to dis- cover whether any seais were basking on it. If there were, they would dive underneath, smash up the ice, and collect their victims.

If they were of commercial use killers would soon be greatly reduced' in numbers, but, unfortunately, they are comparatively worthless and thus enjoy almost complete immunity from attack, by man.

Mountain Range Almost Directly Under Equator

Iluwenzori, a mountain range in ■ 'luatorial Africa, is unusual ia its ery situation. It lies almost imme- üately under the equator, surrounded \v rank, steaming tropical forests and un-dronclied plains covered with tall lepliant grass ; yet, says a corre- :j)ondent in the Montreal Herald, it pushes its peaks up to eternal snows. N’owhere else are there comparable heights under the equator, rising from the heart of a continent. The Andes of Ecuador, relatively close to the coast, and the mountains of the island of New Guinea, are the closest competitors. ,

Weather conditions do their part in contributing to the strangeness of this African mountain mass and in throwing an almost literal veil of mys- tery around it. The peaks are hidden to observers from the plains and forests by clouds and fog except at rare intervals. As a result, the definite ex- istence of the mountains was un- known to Europeans until 1SC4, \vhen Sir Samuel Baker, while exploring Lake Albert saw ‘a blue mountain to the south.”

His observations went unverified until 1887, when Stanley saw the peaks and made known tlie fact, for the first time, that they were snow- capped. It was not until*more than a decade later that the snow-line was first reached, and the crests were not attained until 100(5, when the duke of the Abruzzi led .his expedition to the top. , \

“Playing ’Possum” From the opossum’s habit of feign-

ing death when captured has come the phase “playing ’possum.” When he think^ he is in danger, the opossum merely curls up and awaits his fate. If he i§ caught high up'in the branches by hunters, he will wrap his tail around a branch and hang tliere, head downward, limp and helpless, probably thinking he can thus convince all comers that he is a totally dead ’possum. If the hunters shake him from his tail-hold, the tumble to the ground dores not seem to bring him to life. The hounds may shake him considerably, and he will retain his sem- blance of death. He may even., be picked up by the tail and darned without as much as a wiggle. But lay him down for a few moments, and he comes to life quickly and makes for safety. Unlike tlie raccoon, the opos- .sum has not learned to den up for the winter, which is the northern mam- mars way of defense against the rig- ors of extremely cold weather..

Don’t put toothpicks on the fa.mily table. It seems almost unnecessary to mention this, but au- thoritie’s are still militant on ths point.

Don’t set up saucers for vegetables. These must be served on the dinner plate.

Colored Girls Bleach ' Men of the Guajirà tribe, in tropical America, prefer girls- with pale faces. So Guajira mothers with eligible daughters shut the girls up in dark rooms to bleach out their complexious and make them attractive to prospec- tive suitors. This unique custom is reported by a representative of the University of Arizona, who made a study of the primitive Guajira Indians of northern Venezuela, describing these Indians, she said that in Guajira households the mothers are supreme. Guajira girls are put on the marriage market. The mothers have a system of selling their daughters to eligible young men of the tribe. Blood revenge holds a dominating place In the life of this primitive tribe.v The number of the population meeting a violent death because of the payment of wrongs demanded in blood is something appalling, she declared.

Poison Hemlock Common

The hemlock plant, source of the favorite poison of the early Greeks, is also the source of valuable medicines made from the leaves and the fruit. The plant is common, the spotted hemlock being most generally' seen along roadsides and on dumps. It grows from two to five feet high and has a green hollow stem. The Greeks used the hemlock to execute prisoners con- demned to death, a distillation' being given the unhappy victim to drink.

Carp Favored 8000 B. C. Carp is one of the favorite fishes in

Germany, and it was also the chief diet of the people who lived in Baden some 10,000 years ago. This is shown by finds connected with the cromag- non race which have been made at Tiergarten in the Danube valley, near the ruins of Falkenstein castle. At a depth of about fourteen feet excava- tors have found a stratum nearly a yard thick which throws new light on the life of man in the Mesolithic age (about SOOO B. C.). Great quantities of carp hones were found, and some 100,(KX> remains of snails give evi- dence of the influence of the Mediter- ranean climate in that age. Among the many flint articles is a polislied stone ax of the transitional . period from the JlesoliUiic to the Neolithic age.

The Piano’s Inventor Bartolommeo Cliristofori WMS an

Italian harpsichord maker and the inventor of the hammer action used in the modern pianoforte. He was born in Padua about lO.'l, and early served an apprenticeship as an instrument maker. After following that work fop some years in Padua he began to’be known plsewhere. About 16S7 Prince Ferdinand, son of Grand Duke Cosi- mo III, persuaded him to remove to Florence. It was during the Flor- entine period that he made the first pianos. Descriptions and engravings of the time show that the invention is correctly ascribed to him. A grand pianoforte by (Yistofori is said .still to he preserved in Florence. He died in that city in 1781.

Small Rattlesnake The massasanga (Sistrurus caté-

natus) is a true but small rattlesnake which formerly was very nu- merous in swampy woods in south- western Ontaâo. and ma.y still be found tijere in the wilder places. It rarely exceeds 24 inches in length. Reports occur now and then of the occurrence north of- Lake Erie of the timber or banded rattlesnake of the Gnited States, but they are not au- thentic.

Wine Cellar Under Church The old university town of Heidel-

berg, SO rich in attractions, possesses one known to few visitors. It is a wine cellar under the Catholic church of St. Anna, containing, among other large casks, the “Jubilee Cask” of 1886, the five hundredth anniversary of the university, with a capacity of 4,912 gallons. . .

St. Peter’s Church Said to Hold Record for Age

The oldest elun-ch in the western hemisphere is St. Peter’s church in tile .'incient capital of tlie Bermudas. St. George’.s. Founded in 1612 with ij structure of native timber and rebuilt in T619, St. Peter’s has seen almo.st | ihree and a quarter centuries of continuous religious service, almost hai." a century more tlian any other church on this continent in use today.

Its closest rivals are the cathedral of Mexico, built in 1667, and the Old Soutli Meeting house in Boston, which was built in 1660. St. Luke’s chureli in the Isle of Wight, Virginia, is, aban- doned, after doing service since 16.62, and the First (.'l}urch of Salem, Mass., constructed in the same year, was recently restored for religious service.

St. Peter’s,'in its history and within the church itself and its crowded, siiady churchyard, sums up the long and varied life of Bermuda. The ver.v physical structure of the church re- flects the changes, social and political, of the islands, for it has. been added to and repaired many times in its long career. Ttie first church was built of tlie native cedar, but to quote an old record, “it was blown down by a temp- est so that he (the governor) built an- j other in a more closer place of Pal- meta leaves.” ’Phis in its turn was j replaced by a stone structure in 161,9, | nni'ch of the masonry being utillzetl | in tlie present wall.s, wiiicli were raised in 1713.—Detroit News.

Thirty per cent of one’s customers cease being customers every year. They die, or move away, or become disgruntled, or change over to some other retailer. This is a ghast- ly loss, and alas, it is one impossible to prevent. It means that a retailer has to be very, very busy every month, getting new customers to replace the monthly wastage, and to gain a few more customers in excess of the annual loss, in order that* his business shall grow. The fatal thing is just to do nothing in the way of customer attraction and re- placeipent.

How can dew customers be attracted 1 Various things can be done. The most ob- vious way is just to ask non-ciistomers to do business with yon. That is the first thing to do. And your invitations will get attention just because so few retailers will be your competitors in this “asking” activity. You can ask people to do business with you by post, by personal calls and by newspaper advertising. And, of course, your store windows'can and will be invitations.

Æ A

Beyond asking, you must fulfil customers’ expectations-—this by the quality of your service and the rightness of your goods and prices. What customers like when they go into a store is attention and interest, without fussiness. They like briskness in those who serve them. Customers want nothing extraordinary—^,just plain attention and courtesy. Customers are continually measuring stores—matching one store’s service,, goods, prices and atmosphere against those of other stores, and they steadily drift to those stores where they are served, in all ways, mosC in accord with their likes. Newspaper advertising is the least costly—results considered.

Consistent advertising in this paper will be found as many have already learned, to bring results, and a wider daily' sales return.

seacteon ,the fast-skating Canada’s Department Stores septet of Ottawa, defeated the Millionaires in Jubiles Eink here, on Saturday night in over time by the close score of 7 to 6.

For a time it looked as if the home' team had the game all tied up and ready to leave. At the end of the second frame the score was 5-4-2 in their favor but l^-ck of condition—they only had two practises—and just a pinch of over-confidence was their undoing for the visitors tied the score in the final period and in overtime netted two while tlê best the Millionaires could wa^ to register one.

WEEK OF PRAYER

The gathering in the United Church on Friday evening, which brought to a close the services which were heH unitedly during the Week of Prayer by the pastors and congregations of the tâptist, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian St. Elmo and the United Churches, was a most fitting climax.

The services which alternated for the first four nights in these churches were marked by impressive addresses

■on the different evenings, by Eev. J- H. Hamilton, B.A., of the United Church, Eeve. A. J. Fletcher of th-3 Baptiste Church, Rev. Dr. P. A. Mae Leod of St. Andrew’s Church and Eev. "W. B. MacCallum of St. Elmo Presby- terian Church.

The opening address was given by Ebenezer MeNaughton who dealt with some 0 fthe leading challenges which are facing youth to-day instancing Fascism as in Itally, the Hitlerism as in Germany and Communism which is rampant in Russia ,and ig permeat- ing many other parts of the world.

The speaker, while admitting that the unselfish loyalty and patriotic fer- vor Of the devotees of these cults must be admired ,they would ultimately fail as the Div'ine plan and history were against them, because they were founded on force, but the challenge of the Christ and His Cross woul^ untf mately triumph as it was founded on love and co-operation.

Ed. Hunter spoke of the Christian Youth movement in Canada and dealt with some of tie discouraging aspects with which they are now confronted many of which are due to present economic conditions. He was assurred that our Youth were called upon to play their part in the permanent readjust ment of those religious, social, political and economic conditions that were now so sadly out of joint and was con- vinced that not until the principles o- Christ were adopted in all those ê-^ lationships could a solution be found.

“Wpiat Christianity has dlone for Youth”, was the theme of an arrest- ing address % Miss Cather- ine MacLeod who by ancient and contemporary history proved that every good thing we poss- ess, spiritually or socially, was founded and nurtured by the sacrifice of love which is the very first principle of God and His. Son. She urged youth, that in their estimate of values to place first things first.

The address of John McLennan which followed was a fitting climax. He struck a very high note in his appeal, declaring that the call “Follow Me” uttered by Christ, was as potent, personal and imperative to-day, *s

when He addressed tliem to Gallilean fisherman. Youth was making its cl)|owe. to-pjay consciously Op uncon- sciously of the leadership it was ac- cepting. The Youthful Founder of the Christian Church was calling them to His Banner. His demand is undivided loyalty which entails sacrifice but his assurance of reward is eternal life now and forever.

The pronouncing of the benediction by Eev. Mr. Hamilton brought the meeting to a close.

Ibe New Plymouth The 1935 Plymouth, built by Chrysler,

which will be on view locally and at the auto show in Montreal, January 26th to February 2nd, Sun Life Building, has important engineering developments which should appeal to auto enthusiasté.

Streamlined in design, the new car is the largest and most beautiful Plymouth ever presented. The torpedo-shaped, all- steel body is three inches wider than previous models-and the car is three inches longer—189 inches from bumper to ) bumper. j

The new Plymouth introduces a new j type of ride, the result of four advanced engineering'developments, The four de" I velopments that combine to create the j sensational ride are—balanced car weight, I new semi-elliptic (tapered-Ieaf) springs made of a new steel, double-action shock absorbers and a side-sway eliminator at the front.

A revolutionary high compreîon engine gives the Plymouth increased power and economy. It is the most efScient and durable of all Plymouth engines. Ply- mouth again is presented with floating power.

Other quality refinements found on thé 1935 Plymouth include : calibrated igni- tion, full length water jackets, directional water circulation, syncro-silent transmis- sion, a new ventilated clutch, a ventilated generator, improved hydraulic brakes» electro-coated aluminum alloy pistons, silent-U and rubber cored spring shackles, valve seat inserts, roller bearing universal joints, four-bearing crank-shaft, and a double-drop Higid-X frame

The new Plvmouth is presented in six

WOMAN FINDS A PERMANENT REMEDY

With perfect frankuess a woman; correspondent writes:—

‘‘I have suffered from constipation as long as I can remember^ and taken all sorts of things—^which in some cases seemed to do good at first, hue afterwards t© have no effect. Then I thought I would try Krnschen in mf tea every morning, and I have done so for over a year. I am pleaed to say after the first month I had no mors trouble with constipation, and I have fetl very fit."—(Mrs.) G.M.B.

Kruschen Salts is , Nature’s recipe for maintaining à condition, of inter- nal cleanliness. The six salts in Krus- chen stimulate the organs of elimination to smooth, regular action. Your system in thus kept clear of those impurities which, if allowed to accumu- late ,lower the whole tone of the system.

Door Sedan, DeLuxe Rumble-Seat Coupe, DeLuxe* Four-Door Sedan, DeLuxe Two- Door Touring Sedan and DeLuxe Four- Door Touring Sedan.

All of the Plymouth models have the same wheelbase-—113 inches—the same engine, the same clutch, same transmis- sion and the same “floating ride.” With its improved cooling and spark control the Plymouth engine develops 15 ..to 20 per cent, more power, yet with greater gasoline mileage. Engineering refinements including alloy steel valve sea^ inserts, oil filter, crankcase ventilation ample use of ball and roller bearings.

The new Plymouth engine develops 82 horsepower at 3,600 r.p.m., has a bore of 318 inches and a stroke of 4 3-8 inches» and piston displacement of 201.3 cubic inches. ,

’ '{Halifax Herald) A definition of a newspaper by an

ordinary person that would merit full marks might be: ^Â public print that circulates news. "

What, fundamentally, is a newspaper? Evéryon© kno^ws what it is,- more or less • vaguely, but there ar© perhaps not so many who can put their ideas on the subject into language so sim- ple, accurate and graphic that everyone can understand it. This is the way Arthur Brisbane does it:'

A newspaper, "is a second-hand. On the face of your watch there are three hands. There is the slow hour hand—^y|ou cannot see it move. .That is history written a long time after. Then, there is the rapidly-moving minute hand. You cannot see that move, although if you watch you see the change of its position—and that is the making of law and' the other minor thinngs that make it up. Then there is the second hand. The part that the second

! hand plays in time, the newspaper plays in the histoTy of events." Mr. Brisbane made this analysis at

a luncheon celebrating his seventieth birthday anniversary an,j his comple- tion of fifty-one years in journalism. 0

such legislation, even thoqgh such auxiliary ^r incidental provi- sions might otherwise not be regarded as legislation in relation to a matter coming within that class, but rather as legislation in relation to a ipatter coming within a Provincial 'class. These decisions, therefore ',authorize and justify as well, the Parliament of Canada in the ' enactment of the necessary legislation to deal with and remedy all ' the ^bdses and evîis diRclo«ed at Ottawa, iq addition to prescrib- ing legally valid and effective re- medies dealing with sweatshops, hours of labor, wages, price

spreads, costs and profits relating to and connected with all such “works” as may be made subject to the control, authority and jurisdiction of the Parliament of its Canada, by the use of deelaratoi'y and declaration power herein stated and described. With the decisions' of the courts before mentioned to buttress afid support it, there is no legal rea- son whatever why the Parliament of Canada should hesitate to act any longer than it takes to draft the necessary legislation. Supplementary Powers.

I It should also be mentioned I that, in addition to the powers re- Igarding the declaration referred [to, there are supplementary and implementary powers or legislative jurisdiction eonferred upon the Parliament of (hmada, which can also 'be invoked at the same time in support of such legisla-

tion as that suggested in the foregoing article. These are the express powers under the B.N.A. Act, giving the Dominion Parlia- ment the exclusive, right to enact legislation relating to the peace, order and good gioyemment of Canada, coupled with the further authority relating to the regulation of trade and commerce, added to which are also the special powers to'legislate on occasion to meet national emergency conditions, even if it interferes with and invades the exclusive legislative powers of the Provinces, especially where it has become a

'matter of national concern, and jof general Canadian interest and .importance. There can also be invoked by the Parliament of Can-

, ada its further powers and auth- |ority under the 'Weights and Mea- Isures Law, and its power to can- cel and revoke all kinds of licen-

ses issued to businesses and companies. Complete Jursidiction,

This arraj" of -legal powers gives the Dominion Parliament and Government the most complete, extensive and ample area of jurisdiction and authority which may be exercised to meet, deal with and remedy every condition, evil and abuse that has been brought to light at Ottawa, and constitutes a full and complete measure of power and authority with wheih to endow any Dominion or Federal Trade and Commerce Commission that it may be proposed to establish and organize. It would not be rreees- sary to include every industrial “work” in Canada at first. A certain number could be dealt with now and iucludeed in the first statute, in order to meet and deal with the conditions

arising out of the Price Spreads Investigation, and then other industrial “works” added from time to time as the necessity pre sented self. i

The Commission itself ,and all its operations and functions, should also be declared to be “■w'orks” for the general advantage of Canada. It is the Parlia- ment of Canada which decides by declaration whether or not any “work” is for the general advantage of Canada, or of t-wo or more of the Provinces. 0—

Ontario Long Term Issue Possibility

Toronto, January 12.—Possibility the province would call for tenders on a long-term bond issue was n^cn- tioned today by Premier Mitchell F.

Hepburn. While he has not yet had' an op-

portunity 1^0 discuss financing with treasury officials, Mr. Hepburn intim- ated the province would have to bor- row money.

“I’ve been gambling on cheaper money and we have been very fortun- ate in that regard and it is quite possible we may decide to issue long-term bonds,” Mr. Hepburn said.

He had not the slightest idea, ha stated, as to the size, of any loan which may be floated.

Care in Dating Urged On Cheese Exportera

LONDON, Ont., Jan. 11.—Warning to cheese manufacturers exporting to jreat Britain to use more care in fu-

ture in dating their cheese was sounded here yestsrday by A. L. Anderson

of Montreal, Dominion dairy produce

grader, in an address to the 68th manual

convention of the Dairymen’s Associa- tion of Western Ontario.

'“'Some merchants there, are firmly of the opinion that boxes of Canadian cheese are pot as goo^j a quality as in earlier years,” he said. “One Ob- jection was that the cheese was not dated; I found it was, but it was dated wrongl3^”

Mr. Anderson said he inspected and foun^t that cheese made in September was dated as of May. It was not properly matured.

Final dairy production figures for 1534 will show an increase of at leas* five per cent over the 1933 total, John H. Sicott, chief creamery instructor, Ottawa, told the convention. Mr. Scott said the boost was evident in face of last summer’s drought which seri- ously effected dairyipig sections of Western Ontario.

The Ipswich Express - By G. H. Page

COULDN’T you find me a car riage with a lady in it?” said Lily Freeston, a little doubtfully, as the porter opened the door of a- first-class carriage which was quite empty ,and began to pack her dressing-bag and roll of rugs into the rack.

“Well, miss,” said he, apologe- tically, “though there are a good many people going by this train, there are not many going first- class. But very likely some may come yet, for there’s still twenty minutes before you’re off, and I’ll look out for any ladies, and if I can manage it I’ll put them inhere.”

He spoke with an eye to his tip, and the grateful Lily at once gave him a shilling. Then he went off and forgot all about her in the doing of other jobs, and the carriage remained empty.

In a way Lily found it plea- sant to be alone ,and could she hhve felt certain of remain- alone during the whole two hours j

She did not alilfieiipate being dull. First of all, the mere sensa- tion of being carried along at the rate of sixty miles an hour was an amusement to her ; then she liked looking out of the window at the hamlets and country houses flying past her and imag- ining little stories about the peo pie who lived in them ;and fin- ally, .when she should tire of this, she had plenty of magazines and papers with which to beguile the time.

She had also the letter home t.: her aunt which .she had begun in the train coming up from Turn- bridge, and she thought she would first go on with that. So she took her bag down from the rack, found her little writing pad and pencil, and putting the point of the latter between her pretty lips to darken it went on with the

A guard .carrying a greemflaguy discovered that he was a verv odd-looking man, too; while cer- tainly his mode of entrance had not been over-courteous..Still, she felt perfectly sure that he would be willing to move himself ra ther than put her to such incon- venience and dsicomfort.

“Pardon me,” she said, with timid courage, “dut I think you have made a mistake? This is not a smoking-carriage. ’ ’

There was something really extremely odd in the appearance of this foreign-looking man, who might be French, who might be Italian; who wore a soft hat, .a voluminous., “bat’swing” cape and a sparse, stubby black beard. There was something, odd and repellent, too, in the , damp white skin, the thick black eyebrows, <he black, flickering, staring

eyes, vfliich wdre now fixed upon her, and which filled' her with nervous trepidations.

He took his cigar from his mouth when she had begun to speak, and one corner of his up- per lip drew back in an ugly way', reminding her of some ill- tempered dog.

“You object to me smoking?” he asked, .speaking with a strong foreign accent, in a hard, curi- ous, unmodulated voice.

“Well—yes, I do,” said Lily, brave'ly- “It ma.kes me feel ill, and that is why I came into this carriage, which is not a smoking- carriage. But there is a smoking- compartment on that'side, next door. You will have time to change, if you are quick. Please, please, be quick; and change!”

But the stra.nger merely put back his cigar between his teeth, and continued to turn on her a fierce and flickering gaze.

“You object to me smoking?’’ he repeated, just as before. “You make me observations? You tell me go into anuzzer carriage ? Now, look he-aire.”

He slipped a hand into a pock- et beneath his cloak and produced a tiny revolver, which he laid beside him on the arm of the seat, keeping his hand on it.

“I allow no one in ze -world fo interfere wiz me, to make me remarks, and I carry this about wiz me,” he pointed the weapon stra.ight at Lily’s face, “to give a lesson to those pepoles who do not let me aloné. ’ ’

At first Lily had gone crimson with surprise at being apoken to in such a manner. Never in the world had any man answered her with such rudeness before. But when he produced the pistol, then, she felt the warm blood rush back from her beating head to her heart. She grew pale, she grew cold, she grew paler still For suddenly -she understood the awful ■ truth. The man was ;mad ' She was.shut up alone in a carriage with a madman !

And at the very instant that she realized 1lhe full horror of the situation the train began to move slo-çrly and smoothly out of the statioh.

Terror kept Iter rigid as a figure of stone, ajid it was well for her that it was so. For though the madman’s eye was unsteady, though it flickered the -wholt time, still he never' removed it from her; he kept his hand always on the handle of the little pistol by his side.

Sfie understood, intuitively, that were she to scream, were she to open the door, were she to try to pull the cord of communi- cation with the guard—were she, in fact, to m^Le apy attempt to obtain help,- he would fire at once. The desire for violence was clearly expressed in his glance.

And probably ,even although she sat perfectly quiet, he would kill her all the same. And she looked at the glittering muzzle of the tiny weapon, and wondered how soon her death-blow would spring out from it. Heavens! It was too horrible, too impossible, that she, Lily Freeston, so young and so happy, with so many people who were fond of her, wath aunt Mary thinking about her probably at that very moment, with her friend Maggie Parkei expecing her at Ipswich, with se many pretty frocks in her trunk to be worn during her visit, tha.f, she should find herself in immin- ent peril of her life, shut up alone in a railway carriage with a madman.

It was like some horrible night mare,, 'and yet it was worse than any nightmare she ha.d ever suffered from, for it was actual fact, it was actually true.

What could she do? The advertisements'- on the

walls of the station began to slide past her, those advertisements of soap, of blacking, of beer, which she knew so well, which she had read hundreds of times in hundreds of idle, empty moments, and amidst all the con fused, itroubled, agonized thoughts whch seemed to struggle and shout together in her brain came the ridiculous little regret that this was the last time she would ever read these familiar advertisements, ever be bored by their monotonous reiterations. For in another minute she would be carried away from all aid, from all human proximity, out in- to the open country, alone with this madman ,and whatever then happened here cries would ’ be lost in the noise of the rushing train, which would not again stop until it reached Ipswich.

Her fingers trembled on the pencil which she still held poised over her unfinished letter, and suddenly an inspiration came to

Are You Sluggish ? To Throw Off Energy-Stealing Impurities, enjoy a glass or two

each week of

hejr—:a Hea.ven-sent inspiration which thrilled her with a last faint hope of help, which com- forted her with the idea of, at least, making her desperate cir- cumstances known to some fel- low-being.

She carried this idea out with a coolness and courage -which were Heaven-sent too.

All, this while, and it appears to be a certain while in the reading, although in point of time it passed in a very few seconds, she had her eyes raised to the madman’s, who watched her interro- gatively, expecting an answer to his information. Now she gave one.

“Very well,” she said, gently, and she was astonished to detect no alteration in her voice, it sounded just as usual “You shall go on smoking and I will go on with my letter.”

Now the writing-pad consisted of detachable sheets, which could be turned back as each page was finished and all held to gether, or any separate page could be easily pulled out. Lily turned a page now, and wrote on the next one : “Pray help me, I am so frighten- ed” (an unexpected termination this to the gay courage of her unfinished sentence to her aunt), and then added another couple of words, any , words, nonsense words, and pjrompWy scra-lfch'ed theni through, as if she had made a’ mistake. Immedja.tely, with a tion, she tore out the page and well-assumed little frown of vexa- crumpled it up hi her hand.

Now she rose with an air of in- difference and let her glance fall out of the window. There were the long boards-dï the platform slplpÿng by Aer, running away to converge in a, single point in the distance; there was a porter— the very porter to whom she had given the shilling—rolling and rattling jnilk-eans from one part of the" sfation to thé^ other ; there stood the-young man in grey, still waiting, and talking now with the station-master. Everything was calm, placid, ordinary ; everyone -vkas absolutely jfndifferent to her peril. And yet. she was being carried away from all security, from all calmness, to a horrible uncertainty, most likely to a vio lent death.

The-young man in grey happened to raise his eyes to hers,, although he was a long way from her, far down the moving platform. / :

With apparent carelessness she threw the little ball of paper out and down again to write. But she - had thrown it with a definite; aim,, she had seen it roll to the feet of the two men, she had seen the young man pick it up. He-was smoothing it out in his fingers When the s-tation passed out of sight.

So far her scheme had worked sueeessfully. But., what result would it have? Could it hqve any result ? What would the youjig man do? What would the station- master do? Was it possible for them to do anything at all? They would probably think it some silly girl’s joke.

Yet even if they believed her to be in need of help, what could they do?

And she sat pretending to continue her letter, while asking herself with anguish whethre there were really any means of over- taking an express train, of stop-

iPing her? Perhaps they wpuld telegraph on to the next station and have her stopped by signal, but perhaps the next station was ever so far off, and before thej- reached it she might be already dead.

An unconquerable fascination made her look up, to see the man in the corner watching her with a cruel malignancy while his finger caressed the handle of the revolver ; and she bent again over her writing-pad, on which she traced mechanically nonsense words, while she said to herself' “Now he will fire. Before I ge: to the end of the next line he will fire How unhappy poor auntie will be when she hears the news ! I suppose she will rea,d of it in to-morrov. ’s paper ” And the girl felt her eyes fill -with tears as she

imagined her Aunt Marj^’s grief. A shadow fell across the paper.

The window was suddenly daru ened. 'Someone was standing out side the carriage on the footboard looking in over the door.

It was the 3'oung man in grey, a.nd when Lil.y recognised his fair, strong and handsome Eng- lish face. So much passionate relief and gratitude welled up into her wet blue eyes that he instant- ly saw he had done right in obey- ing the impulse which told him to spring upon the flying train. He had thrust Lily’s paper into the hands of the station-master, had run along the platform, and leaped upon the footboard of one of the rear carriages as it whirled past him. The rest hhd been a mere matter of agility and- nerve. Now, a.nother glance into the carriage revealed to him the state of the case.

He turned the handle, stepped up and sat down opposite th; young girl. ' “Well, I very nearly missed the train this time.!” said he, with courteous carelessness. “Hadn’t you given me up?”

Lily gave a little gasp, and then understood he was a.ssum- ing the role- pf brother or friend to give himself the right of , pro- tecting her.

“Yes,” she told him. “I had given .up hope altogether, ” and there was real truth in the words.

-Watching his face intently, she read his wishes.

“(Will you not come and sit over here?” she asked him, and began clearing her things away from the place beside her.

He chapged places in the most natural way possible ,and appeared to pay no attention at all to the traveller in the far corner But Lily knew that the move had been made for the very purpose of observing him, and by a little sigh she indicated to the young man in grey the pistol lying under, the, Frenchman’s hand, and now half hidden by a fold of his cloak.

The man was still smoking, while h estared in front of him, w'ith an assumed air of mental I^jeoccupation, although , every now and then a glint from his flickering eye fell upon his com- panions in the carriage.

The train every moment was increasing in speed. The carriage swayed and rattled, the telegraph-posts leaped past in quick succession, an express coming from the other direction seemed one long line of glittering' windows, one long, continuous roar,

Ha,d the young man in grey seen the pistol ? Lily could not be sure, for he gave no answering sign, and his manner wms exceed- ingly bright and irrelevant.

“By Jove, that 'was a very close thing,:” said he. “And if I hadn’t come by this train I- don’t thnk the girls W'ould ever .have forgiven me. They make such a point of it. But now I want you,” he continued, “to keep a look- out on the opposite window. We are going to pass directly a ver.v extraordinanry sight. We are going to pass a house built without any front to it, by a Man who is donsumptive, and hopes to cure himself on the open-air system It looks precisely like a dolls' house with the door open. You can see into all the rooms There ! There it is! Do you see it?” he cried eagerly, getting up to point it out, and Lily jumped up and looked with all her eyes, and the Frenchman • half rose and looked too.

Was there such a house as the young man described? Lily could not tell, for the train had reached full speed ,and the whole coun- tryside wheeled and curved and spun into view, and reeled a.way again behind them, before she had time to detect any one particular thing. But in the same instant that her bewildered eyes searched vainly for this house ,the young m.an in grey had sprung across the carriage, had stooped down and seized the^ pistol, and had flung it far out of the window- over the Frenchman’s head.

“Oh, take care!” cried Lily, ■for she saw him turn in a par- oxysm of fury upon the young man

The train shreiked and rat- in grey, and the next moment the two were locked in a fierce struggle on the carriage floor, tied, and banged, the two men wrestled with clenched teeth one to overpow'er the other, and Lily, standing as far out of the way a.s she could, pressed back her erie.s wdth trembling little hands.

Everything in the carriage was overset, new'spaper, books and pa pers were scattered on the floor. The maniac clutching hold of the bar of the net-rack to prevent his ortnonent from throwing him;

brouglit the, whole affair down j Down with it came his own bag, inseeurelj' fastened and hurriedly packed. It vomited forth a strange .flood of heterogeneous contents; pomatum socks, brush- es, .soap, medicine bottles full andj empty, china dogs and shepherd- esses looking like a hasty collec- tion from a mantlepiece or chif- fonier, a large piece of bread, and quantties of fine cigars, which rolled into every cotner! of the carriage or were trodden under foot. And still the men ■wrestled, and still the train rush- ed forw'ard ,and Lily, very pale and tremulous, waited for the end. But she never felt one moment’s doubt of the strength or capacity of the j’oung man in grej-. Nor, embarrassed as the maniac was by the heavy hang- ing cloak, was there ever any chance pf his doing harm.

“If I could but manage to tie his legs,” said the young man, who had now got him pinioned in a corner by the arms, “I think it would settle him,” and he looked about him for some sort of li- gature. “Haven’t you got some rugs? Then take one of the straps. Now, try to pass it round his ankles here Yes! .Now once more, and I>ull tight. Tighter still ! There, that’s right. Give me the other Strap, and we’ll put it round his 'arms—so.”

The man lay on the floor of the carriage securely bound. He lay qu\et and silent, only his eyes gave sign of life. And with these eyes still burning with fury and madness he followed the movements of the young people.

Lily was filled with pity for him.

“Poor creature,” she said, “how terrible! How wretched he looks ! Do you think him in pain ? Are those straps hurting him perhaps? Do put his cushion under his head. But surely we are slowing down? We are going to stop.”

And the train really was draw- ing up at an unimportant little station, where perhaps . no express train had ever stopped before, and the officials of this station came running along the footboard even before she had stopped, looking into all the carriages. And there was a great com- motion when they came to Lily’s earria;ge, which loked almo^st as if it had been wrecked, and there were hurried questions and ex- planations ,and much commiser- ation for the young lady.

But the train was bound to rea.ch Ipswich at a fixed hour. There could be no delaying. Two guards -were put into the ekrriagè to take care of the unfortunate lun||.tic, and Lily’s property was collected and cai-ried by willing- hands to another compartment. In less than five minutes the train was off again, and Lily and the young man in grey, sitting facing each other, were once more rushing through the green open country But what a difference there was in the girl’s feelings! How calm, how relieved, how happy she felt now!

“You must have ha,d an awful moment when you first realized he was mad,” said the young man.

Oh, I felt as though my hair were going grey. Has it gone grey, perhaps?” she asked, an- xously. ‘ ‘ For I have heard of such things happening.” .

“No; it’s yellow—the colour of corn in the^sun,” said the young man, gravely.

“I’m so glad,” exclaimed Lily Joj-fully, “for I am going to a dance to-night ,and it would have been horrid to have looked in the glass andn found I had grey hair. ”

“I, too, to-night, am going to a, dance,” said the young man, “and I was to have escorted some ladies down from town who were going to it too; but as they did not turn up at the station I was, going to wait for the next train, which starts twenty minutes later, as I supposeed they had missed the express, -when your mes sage reached me.”

“What made you see at once that it was serious? I was so afraid it might be thought just a joke.”

“Oh, I had noticed you on the station long . before, and I knew' you were not the sort of girl to play that kind of joke,” said the young man grave- Ij', and Lily blushed with a. certain pleasure at his words.

“Poor auntie will be so dread- fully upset when she hears of my adventures. She was to have come with me, but I left her in bed this morning with neuralgia She hated my travelling alone; altl)ough, of cour-ê, we never could have imaarined anythin'» so

dbeadful as till;.” “Have you friends to meet you at Ipswich?” asked the young man.

“Oh, yes, the Parkers will meet me. Maggie Parker is my greatest friend. And it is at their house that the-dance is to be to-ninght.”

‘•‘So you know the Parkers? That’s splendid! For I, too, knovr them very well. And I, too, am going expressly for that dance. It’s jolly to think I shall see you again.”

The delightful and amazing turn things were taking gave a new lustre to'Lily’s blue eyes and began to bring back ;ôme colour to her pale face. And -while she sat in a kind of joy dream, glan- cing every now and then shyly at the handsome, open, sunburnt face of the young man in grey, Ipswich was reached and her attention was turned to a group of young people on the platform awaiting the arrival of the train.

“,Oh, there are the Parkers!” cried Lily. “How nice! There are Maggie, and Ethel and Joe,”

And ‘ ’-Lily, dearest ! ’ ’ cried a girl, running forward, as she and ■ the young man in grey got out of the train, “there you are! Ana where is Mrs. Walters? Neural- gia? Oh, I’m so sorry! And mother will be disappointed. - But Frank has managed, I see, to find you out after all. "Yery cle- ver of him, since we told him to look out for two ladies, one of whom would |iave white curls. How did you manage, Frank, to recognise Lily Freesfon all by herself?”

Lily stared in helpless bewild- erment, for the young man in grey was kissing the Parker girls all round in the most brotherly- fashion.

“But don’t you know it’s Frank?” cried Maggie Parker, astonished in her turn. “You must have often heard us speak of Prank ,our sailor brother, and he has run • up from Portsmouth on purpose to come to out dance. Do you mean to say you have travell- ed aU the way from London together and still require to be in- troduced?”

‘ ‘ Oh, we have a great deal to tell you,” said Lieutenant Par- ker, “but I suggest that we don’t tell it here or now. Miss Freeston is looking pale and tired. Let us take her home and restore her with some tea After tea you shall hear the whole exciting story.”

Lily was very grateful for thé. suggestion. For how that the danger was over and the reaction had had set in, she was really feeling strangely tired and weak. lAnd yet in her heart the sun was shin- ing too, for she knew that for herself another and an exquisite story had begun. ■

HIGHLIGHTS FIFTH ADDRESS Ottawa, Jan. 11

Declaring that there was “no place for fascism in Canada,!’ and branding the Liberal Party as lacking any policy except one of opposition, Prime Minister R. B. Bennett launched out on the politi cal phase of his series of radio broadcasts .tonight.. Throughout the depression, he Mid, the Liberal Party had “sat silently by and counted on hard times to defeat a Government which has given its heart’s blood in your service.”

The Prime Minister told his listeners his policy of reform “will force, inevitably, a political realignment. Because this policy of reform comprises the great issue before the people. Do you want reform, or do you not want reform ? If you do not want it, back the Liberal Party. If you do want it, back my party.”

The Government, under his plan, would b,e “a permanent guide and regulator, with the right and power of correction,’’ with the duty of maintaining in the industrial and capitalist system a more equitable distribution of.its benefits.

Mr. Bennett defined liberalism as “Toryism in the reactionary sense of the term, just as the presgnt-day Conserva- tism is Progressivism in the best and most constructive sense of the term.”

His party stodd for the greatest good of the greatest number of people, Mr. Ben- nett said. ' Its policy of reform would force, inevitably, a political realignment. Never since Confederation had that iksue been raised in this way. There would be differences of opinion as to the methods to be adopted. He would welcome co- operation of the helpful kmd, “If there is a more workable plan titan mine,” Mr- Bennett added, ‘ I will be glad to hear of it.”

Marketing Scheme lo Slay Says Weir

Belleville, Ont., January 13.— Hon. Robert Weir, Dominion Minister of Agriculture ,told members of the South Hasting'S Conservative Association that the Marketing Act will be permanent. The association elected officers and started preparations for the coming Dominion election.

‘^The act is designed, to end fear of flooded mrakets in other countries with produce which this country may wish to dispose ofj to assist Canadh in arranging trade with other markets and to get home grown produce to the ultimate consumer in the most direct way with as little cost as posible,’^ said Mr. Weir.

He said that during 1929*30, about 165'000 cattle^ and 90,000. calves went to the United States from Canada, but when restrictions were placed by the United States, it was up to the Dom inion Government to find a market.

“The year before Premier Bennett- came into power there wa sa tax of $21 for a, 700-pound, steer,said the Minister of Agriculture. “I do not blame the former Government for this but I do blame them for the in- ference it was o«r fault it happeend-

iMr. Weir âid that for nine years Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King had the advantage of world markets as well as finance. Hb asked what the King Government had done to assist the farmer. The speaker believed there was a lack of pride by the farmer in his occupation, the cause of many boys leaving the farm for the city. ,

Interest in Trade Policy Keen Announcemnet that negotiations

for a trade agreement between Canada and the United States may be resumed actively in the near future was received with great interest in political circles in the Federal Capital.

With members of the House of Com- mons an4 the Senate arriving for the Parliamentary session Thursday, there was wide interest in the report that the proposed agreement would cover specific commodities which the Dom- inion could buy and sell to advantage without injuring domestic industries.

The list pf products on which cus- toms duties would be lowered would not extensive.

It is reported here the principal products which Canada could admit from- the United. States on more favorable terms are a carefully selected list of iron and steel ând textile products, in which neither Canadian nor British manufacturers can be expected to compete. A more generous treatment might also be extended to certain fruits and other products from the United States. \

Canadian producers would like sell more cattle, lumber, fish an^ potatoes to the United States.

It is understood here that negotiations will be resumed at Wtashington by Hon. W. D. Herridge, Canadian Minister,- with the State Department with a view of seeing what commodities can.be exchanged without injur iously 'affecting the interests of either country and outside the range of the Ottawa trade agreements of 1932.

^‘We will extend Mr. Henry the J same courtesy as other provincial pre- imiei^s,” Mr. Kepburn said, adding the government as usual would pay for the painting.

ïoulh Cilizenship Iràing in Canada

With an appeal for an expression of youth citizenship training to “hundred of small communities which at present have no organized activities of any kind for boys,^^ the Earl of Bess- borough, Governor General of Canada and Chief Scout for the Dominion, Friday opened a campaign to extend the benefits of the Boy Scout movement to 35,000 more young Can- adians.

Of the many so-called “youth movements’^ in the world for boys. Lord Bessborough said the Boy Scouts appealed to him most. In his opinion this organization which laid such stress on honor, loyalty and neighbor- liness, and on “playing the game,’’ was the finest and best. suited for Canada.

^'Canada has 65,000 excellent scouts” the Governor General said “but I know that is not enough. There should be at least 100,000 in this coun try.” He asked that the coming visit to Canadwa next spring of Lord Badeu Powell, world Chief Scout, be celebra- ted by an expansion and improvement of the movement, and plans for “greatly extending and increasing its usefulness to Canada.”

Lord Bessborough remarked he was starting hi^ fifth and last year in Can ada as Governor General. One impres- sion • stood oi^t more vividly than all others he had gathered in his travels throughout the Dominion, “and that is Canada, as a country, is vitally in- stnet, with the spirit of youth.” *

“Canada today seems me pre eminently conscious of the needs of youth, anxious to give ’ youth a fair chance, proud of its own boys and girlSj and determined to make the most of the fine raw material of citizenship which those splendid' boys and girls provided,” His Excellency said. ‘'And this explains what I have also noticed everywhere, that in Canaua. the elders seepi to stay younger, to keep youth in their hearts longer than they do in most countries. There is, in fact, throughout this great country, a deep seated sympathy with youth, a realization of the obligations of age to youth, which is one of Canada’s great est national assets.”

Vankleek Hill Voters ^ Çüasii Local Option By a vote of 494 to 309, giving the

required three-fifths vote, plus 13, the citizens of Vankleek Hill Wed- nesday repealed the local opti46 law that has been in force since 1916. With fine weather prevailing, a heavy vote was polled, there being less than 900 qualified voters on the roll. 0—

Ihe Queen’s Park Arena (By The Watchman)

Toronto, January 16th. The old political pot has started to simmer once more and with the premier back on the job to add a little spice to the mixture—and do som© of the stirring him-self—tlhings are 'brightening up along the Queen-’s Park front.

The premier made his «first appear ance at Parliament Buildings on Fri- day afternoon and three hours after his arrival the following interesting an nouncements were made.

(1) Opening of the legislature session on Wednesday, February 20th, with’ none of the “frills” of past years.

(2) Reduction of the interest rate on all farm loans from five to four per cent and an extension of the periods-in which payments must be made.

(3) Refusa^ of the government to vote monies fo,r the upkeep of Chorley Park, residence of the lieutenaiit-governor.

(4) Refusal of the cabinet to ap- prove a Royal ‘Commission inquiry into the Aemiliufi Jarvis case as sought by Attorney General Roebuck,

(5) ' Appointment of Oapt. W. L. Bayfield, VJ?., as Sergeant-at-Arms for the session of the legislature.

(6) Strong possibility that the pro vine© will shortly enter the money markets for a loan.

These were the highlights of Pre- mier Hepburn’s first day back at Queen’s Park after his retlurn from vacationing -in the south. The premier declined to make anyn ext^slve ccinment on Premier Bennett’s “New deal” for Canada stat- ing that the prime minis'ter would probably contradict himself before he was through with iiis radio addresses.

Opening of the session on February 20th is an important announcement but farmers will be jnore interested in the decision of the government to reduce interest rates on farm loans. Hon. Duulcan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture, stated that the govern ment proposes to re-amortise the loans now outstanding with the Agricultural Development Board so as to ease ia many cases the interest and principal burden of the farmers involved and at the same time provide the govern ment with a better chance of “salvag- ing” many loans that at the present time appear hopeless.

The reduced -interest rate is retroactive as from November 30th last and will apply to all past loans and to any others which may be negotiated in future .Mr. Marshall also informed thy press in an interview that the legislature, at the coming session, would be asked to pass a bill, enabling the province to take advantage of the Federal Farm Loans Act of 1927. Owing to the fact that the Ottawa rate for farm loans is five and a half per cent, Mr. Marshall said the province was pre pared to make good'the one and a half per cent difference between the Otta- wa rate and the newly announced provincial figure of four per cent.

The Hepburn government is going to carry out its intention of refusing ^0 vote monies for the upkeep of the lieutenannt-govemor’s residence. The premier is determined to keep the money in the treasury and effect a $50,000 saving. And so His Honour Br. Herbert Bruce will have to dig down into his own jeans or get the Domin- ion government to hand over the dollars for the upkeep of Chorley Park.j

And while on the subject of mCney, it is believed the government will shortly float a bon^. issue of considerable size. Premier Hepburn hopeg to get the money at less than 2.5, the cost of the last flotation. The question of finances and th© need for economy is said to be responsible for the cabinet turning down Attorney Gen- eral Roebuck’s request for a Royal Commission inquiry into the Jarvis case.
