TORONTO WOMAN VICTIM OF HOLIDAY MOTOR ACCIDENT Madelaine Hillier, wife of William R. Murray, 2837 Yonge Street, Tor­ onto, was fatally injured in a head- on crash of a car and truck on Sat­ urday afternoon on Charles street east, near the outskirts of town. Mr. Murray and the truck driver were both taken to Alexandra Hos­ pital here. Mr. Murray who is con­ nected with the Bank of Montreal at Toronto, is suffering from fractures of both knee caps, facial lacerations and from shock. The car, driven by Murray, col­ lided head-on with a Hardy Cartage Company Transport truck driven by Albert Lane of Toronto, The Mur­ ray car was totally wrecked by the impact and apparently Mrs. Murray never moved after the crash. Dr. Richard Hillier, Jr., of De­ troit, came here on Saturday and had the remains of his sister sent on to Leamington for interment. De­ ceased was a daughter of the late Dr. Richard Hillier, Sr., and Mrs. Hil­ lier. Leamington. The mother’s health has been impaired for some time and the Murrays were on their way to spend Christmas with her. Lane was able to leave the hospi­ tal for his home in Toronto on Sun­ day afternoon. Chief of Police Callander, Provin­ cial Officer Al. Lawrence, with Con­ stables John Holmes and Ben Timms all gave their attention to traffic dir­ ection and other details following the mishap, which was shortly after three o’clock. Coroner R. A. Williams was called to take over the case. It is impos­ sible as yet to set a date for the in­ quest pwing to Murray’s condition.

BUCHANAN PASSES AWAY After an illness of but two days’ duration, death on Wednesday even­ ing, December 21st, claimed an old and iwidely-known resident of Inger­ soll, in the person of James A. Bu­ chanan, 158 Albert street. Deceased had been in his usual health on Monday and was out in the country on business that day. For more than 50 years Mr. Bu­ chanan had been a resident of Ing­ ersoll and was widely known all through the county. He had been a drover and auctioneer over a. long term of years and it was these con­ tacts which had made him a familiar figure in many sections of Oxford. Possessed of a keen wit and ready judgment, he readily made his ap­ praisals in any situation. He took a keen interest in muncipal affairs and was a council member for some years. Deceased was born at Mossley, and was in his 87th year. He spent his younger days in the Dorchester area coming to Ingersoll to make his home at the time of his marriage. He was an adherent of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church and was the last of his family. Left to mourn the passing of a beloved husband and father are his widow, two daughters, Mrs. Cowan Wdfker, Regina; Mrs. P. L. Pound, Wyandotte, Mich., and three sons, Mitchell and Kingsley at home; James A., Jr., of Detroit, Mich. The funeral was held from his late residence, Albert street, on Mon­ day afternoon, with service at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner of St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. Interment was made in the Dorchester Union Cemetery and the pall bearers were Robert and Ross Secord, Thomas Hennessy, Jas. all | Kirwin, James Fergusson and Joseph McSherry. A. W. G.

The thanks of the club were tender­ ed to Mr. Crutcher by Kiwanian W. A. McDougall. The exchange of gifts among the members and their reading of poetry wu a highlight of the meet­ ing.

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONESTribune Office, 13 - Residence, M2AMember ofThe Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ AssociationTHURSDAY, DECEMBER 29th, 1938Hail To 1939In a few short days we face a new year and we will all take heart and “begin again.’’ Facing the new year with a welcome, and in a spirit of gay fes­ tivity, we ask God’s blessing upon it and all the good things the year shall bring. May they be manifold with good health and peace to make contentment and happiness constant. There will be many diffi­ culties and some distress, of course. New torments and tribulations, new trials and conflicts will inevit­ ably’ succeed the old. But also there will be new opportunities; and we shall be better and stronger for the trials and the conflicts if they are confronted and overcome with brave heart and resolute will. Our lives lie within the present, and manifestly our duty is to make the most and the best of it— “Nor deem the irrevocable past as wholly wasted, wholly vain.If, rising on its wrecks, at last to something nobler we attain.” We need to look back, however, only to derive usefulness from past errors and to profit by dear- bought experience. Much history has been written into the past year’s record. The Empire was faced with a crisis which has been settled temporarily at least, by Austin Chamberlain, now numbered among the greatest of British Statesman. Canada has seen a steady in­ crease in business enterprise and improved economic conditions. Canadians may walk forward there­ fore, with confidence reinforced that at the end of the year conditions in the Dominion will be found to be much better and more generally prosperous than they are at this auspicious beginning. Though dark clouds still hover over the interna­ tional horizon; though political convulsions re-echo abroad; though ambitions of some men of governing power and might reveal disquieting designs; though civil war has done worse than confound and vitiate one country’s politics, though one nation, without pi^ocation, has ruthlessly invaded its neighbor; not­ withstanding all this, signs are not wanting at the present time that the wisdom of statesmen will rise superior to war madness, so that a general war in­ volving the nations of the earth will be avoided. Stern alarms, widespread waring itnpulses and a play of revengeful passions may seem to reflect re­ trogression in many’ places, but may we not hold fast to a belief that humanity,, in the aggregate, did make some progress during the year to which we are now bidding farewell, and that progress will advance in the new year, so that ere long, liberty and good government, mutual respect and trust shall rule uni­ versally? When there is no more faith—only when faith is deSd—despotism will govern and "Ichabod” may be written over a civilized world. That, in the depth of depression, has sometimes been thought of. The late John Burroughs expressed a fine truth when he wrote that one “could not 'begin to exhaust the de­ lights of this world,” adding: “I have found in it— deep beneath deep, worlds within a world—an end­ less series of beautiful and wonderful forms forever flowing out of itself,” Everyone has some power of happiness, some in­ fluence for improvement. This is an opportune time to make a new start in diffusing happiness and spreading an influence for good with firm resolution and a fortitude which refuses to be subdued, but shall be sustained until “all men’s good is each man s rule.” If we keep faith with the better nature which is in each and every one of us; if, in the new year, we go back to the old tasks with greater care and diligence, to-day’s universal wish “Hapy New Ysar”, the more likely will be widely and abundantly fulfilled. And we shall have the inspiring power to accomplish^ji^ater good if a hard work is done with­ out hard words. The world then may be even bet­ ter than John Burroughs found it, At all events our lives will be better lived. May this be the common experience of all in the year 1939. A New Year’* ResolutionSunday is the first day of the New Year. Letus make a good resolution for 1939. It is a resolu­tion to do everjrthinj possible to avoid accidents. Itis appalling to learn that there are between six andseven thousand deaths in a year as the result of ac­cidents in Canada and it is the more distressing torealise that a great many of these—the large major­ity in fact—could have been avoided if a little fore­sight and care had been exercised.It is not too late yet, now that the Christmas cele­ brations are over, to make a good resolution in con­ nection with what statistics demonstrate clearly to be the most outstanding danger of the present age— from a domestic point of view, of course. We are not talking of war—the tragedy of Spain and China, —but rather of the worst danger that confronts us in the daily routine of our lives. Accidents—the ever present danger of accidental death, of being hurt, or maimed for life; the threat of becoming a burden to ourselves, our families and the community in general; accidents are possible at every twist and turn of day and night. There is danger in our homes, at our places of business, everywhere, but the greatest menace of all is on the city street and the country’ highway. Death and injury face us, and we know it, from the moment we enter an automobile until our journey ends. In the railway train and on the good ship at sea the danger is so comparatively slight that it hardly enters into our calculations when we purchase a transportation ticket, but on the road, even on the little driveway before we reach the road, in the car we so fondly prize and in which we start out'so joy­ ously, the prospect is hazardous. We talk glibly about the danger from “the other fellow”, and make excuses for ourselves with that platitude, yet to him we are also “the other fellow.” This is no idle talk. We shall present in a few minutes the fatal casualty figures and you will agree that they are alarming. There is an automobile for every nine persons in Canada, which makes a huge total in proportion to population. We have about one and a quarter mil­ lion registrations in a country of eleven million people. A distinguished Ottawa clergyman who recently came, to the Capital from a western city, speaking from his pulpit two Sundays ago, warned his hearers/ of this growing danger and urged upon them the reso­ lution, phrased pithily, that they would go round the corners of life on four wheels and never on two. Care is needed everywhere even in the church. A few years ago there was a remarkable accident in a Montreal place of worship. There had been a spec­ ial party at which a lady had acted as Father Christ­ mas. Dressed in her Santa Claus costume she went to the church basement to assist in the preparation of refreshments for the guests. While lighting the gas stove her costume caught fire, and she was badly burnt before the flames were subdued. She had to' be rushed to a hospital to save her life. Scoring Spree Alex Shibicky.

I droveover with him the other day. A* weapproached the garage he turned onhis headlights. That started an “elec­tric” eye to work, and the garage door opened as if by magic. My friend has his poultry houses lighted by electricity and says the egg production has been greatly in­ creased by fooling the hens into thinking it is still daylight. He milks a herd of forty dairy cows by electric milking machines, cools the milk in an electric cooler and separ­ ates it with an electric separator. An electric ehopper cuts green fod­ der into ensilage and an electric ele­ vator hoists it into the silos. He pumps water for the house and the livestock by electric pump from a deep driven well. His latest scheme, which he says is very profitable is to heat the soil in which he grows early vegetables, by means of electric wires. That gives him ten days or a fortnight’s start in getting his produce to mar­ ket and catching the high prices be­ fore the other farmers begin to bring their stuff in.• • • x CREDIT .... installments Anybody can have any sort of Cancer Second HighestCause of DeathOne out of every nine people whodied in Canada last year was a vic­tim of Cancer which is now the sec­ond highest cause of death in thiscountry.This toll of nearly 1,000 a monthcould be cut to 500 according to Dr. C. C. Rods, Executive Secretary of the Canadian Society for the Con- , trol of Cancer, the new organization that has been established under the sponsorship of the Canadian Medical Association and with the co-opera­ tion of prominent medical men and laymen in every province. Speaking to the Women’s Division of the Health League of Canada at Toronto recently, Dr. Ross urged women to enlist in the war on cancer, pointing out that half of the present deaths could be prevented if people would see their medical advisers for early diagnosis of the slightest sym- tom, submit to a periodic health ex­ amination and obtain adequate treatment in the early stages. Cancer of the lip, he said, oc­ curred mainly in men and usually among pipe smokers. If a pipe smoker developed a soreness, hard spot, crack or ulcer on his lip which would not heal, he should at once see a doctor. Cancer of the mouth oc­ curred among people who did not "F U R S ’R E PA IREDRESTYLEDRELINEDCLEANE DWM.

Perhaps not at first cancerous, they might change in time and become cancers. Warts, moles and birthmarks were harmless unless they suddenly start­ ed to grow. Sudden indigestion in peeople past forty, who had had healthy stomachs all their lives, was the commonest symptom of cancer in the food passages.—Health League of Canada. |b Jones, having an appointment with Hopkins, who very seldom arrived on time, was agreeably surprised to find Hopkins waiting for him. Said Jones: “Why, I see you are here first at last. You were always behind be­ fore; but I am happy to find you have become early of late.” Why Worry? How many people we all know who spend their lives in worrying about things that never happen. Worrying is the most fruitless of all human occupa­ tions. Worrying about something which hai already occurred cures nothing. Worrying about sometning which has not yet happened will not avert it, and nine times out of ten the things we are worrying about never come off. Worrying has its roots in fear. Really cour­ ageous people do not give way to worry. Most worrying is due to too lively an imagination. Those who indulge in worry are usually soft-hearted, sen­ timental folk who do not have a realistic outlook on life. Most worriers have an overly strong sense of per­ sonal responsibility for other people. Their high sense of duty leads them to fear that they have in some way been remiss in their obligations to others. Most chronic worriers are concerned about their personal health. . Many have carried themselves into premature graves. Whatever is wrong with the bodily machinery is made worse by worrying about it There are very few things which can happen to any­ one that are worth worrying about To advise people to stop worrying is not to advise them to take no precautions against the future. Careful, fore­ sighted people are Seldom wftrriers, They face the present with a stout heart and the future ‘with the cidm assurance that all the world expects of anyone is to do the best he can. And they let the dead past bury its dead. The Royal Visit There is something gratifying to Canadians in the announcement that King George and Queen Elizabeth are to 'visit Canada next Spring/ It will be the first time that a reigning monarch of the British Empire has. ever visited' Canada. As we understand it, the position of the King of England and Scotland and {Emperor of Britain is that of a symbol rather than a ruler. He is a figurehead, but a rather gorgeous figure­ head. He symbolizes the greatest democracy in the world, a nation which in many respects is much more democratic than our neighbors to the South own. ;THE DOCTOR Telia The Story by W. E. AUGHINBAUGH, M.D. COMFORTS OF LIFE The,history of the world and the records of the United States Patent Office, both show, that doctors have taken a leading part in adding to the comforts of life. Usually, however, doctors do not protect their dis­ coveries or inventions by patents, but in the spirit so typical of this profession, donate them, without charge to humanity. The most recent example of this was shown when the dentist who discovered a means of drilling teeth without pain to the patient, gave it free'ly to suffering mankind, not asking any compensation for his years of work, experimentation and the cost of the mater­ ials thus used. Dr. John Gorrie graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in-New York in 1833 and later went to Apalachicola, Florida, to practice his profession. Since the beginning of the last century Florida was considered a haven for tuberculosis patients and to its warm climate went thousands of these victims, because the equible temperature did help them. .Many came to Dr. Gorrie for treatment. Fever is typical in these cases and Dr. Gorrie be­ lieved that it was necessary to control these rises in temperature. Ice, which came from l&aine by schooners was scarce and sold for $1.00 a pound, so that few could afford this creature comfort.. Dr. Gorrie devised a machine and a method for manufacturing artificial ice which comprised a pump, which compressed air in a chamber in which there was a container filled with water. Once compressed, the air was permitted mechanically ;to expand rapidly, thereby absorbing the heat from the ,water end thus producing artificial ice. He could not get anyone to help him finance his invention and the majority of those to whom he spoke about it and to whom he demonstrated his machine, considered him simple and laughed behind his back. Thirty years after hia death the first artificial ice plant in the,,world waa built, according to his generic ideas and in the city of Apalachicola. Thus was started the artificial ice industry by a man who died without recognition. Not only that but he was the father of air-condi­ tioning and used his artificially made ice suspended in a receptacle near the ceiling which cooled the air, and as the cooled air was heavier than that in the room, it descended upon the patient, producing a circulation of cooled air, the principal used at the present time in air conditioned cars, rooms and other places. This servant of humanity spent his entire fortune in efforts to get capital to promote the ideas, now accepted so avidly by the modem world. Is it any wonder that a delayed tribute was paid him .by the State of Florida, when it had.his statue placed in the Hall of Fame in the Capitol Building, at Wash­ ington, D. C-? Unfortunately this is the sad story of thousands of physicians who have sacrificed their all, for humanity, and who are to-day known only among a few of their profession. GADGETS comfort One of the most useful words in the language, which has come into general use in the past quarter cen­ tury, is “gadget.” It means, as everybody knows, any kind of an implement, tool, attachment or ap­ pliance to make it easier to do things which formerly were more laborious. Our history is almost a history of gadgets. It might almost be said that gadgets are the foundation of democracy. Certainly they are the outcome of democracy. In the old fashioned systems of government where the common people were vassals of-the rulers, nobody cared whether their work was hard or easy. There were plenty of vassals and if one wore out from work, he or she was easily replaced^ Why ,bother with giving them tools and devices to make their lives and labor easier? When we started out to build a country of free men, working for ourselves, we began to invent gad­ gets to make our lives and work easier. Now we have simplified the problem of living to the point where, with far less effort, we live in far greater comfort than the highest nobility ever had a century or so ago. We make gadgets work for us, and they keep us in luxury. POWER .... electrical Most of our gadgets work by elec? trie power. The main difference between the people of Canada and those of other nations is that we have many times as much power at the disposal of everybody as the others have. Add to the electric power generated in central utility plants the power developed by 30 million automobile engines and by gas engines and windmills on isolat­ ed farms and in independent fac­ tory power . stations, and every worker and his family has something like the -power of twenty horses to do the hard work for them. We don’t often think of our au­ tomobile engines as electric power plants, but a large part of their work is generating current which is stored in the battery for starting and lighting. I was impressed the other day with a statement by Mr. S. B. Robertson, president of the B. F. Goodrich Company, that the current used ‘in storage batteries amounts to more than\a sixth of the total electric power generated by the public utility plants.• • • H O M E .................................check-up It is a pretty poor home that hasn’t some sort or other of electric gadget to make domestic operations easier or more comfortable. Taking my own house as an aver­ age middle-class home, I started to check up on the gadgets we use. I didn’t count the electric light bulbs, the first domestic use of power, but the household census of gadgets in­ cluded the electric motor that runs the oil-burning furnace, an electric wafer heater, range, washing and ironing machine,' electric toasters, waffle irons, percolator, mixing gad­ get*, and an electric flat-iron. My wife reminds me that I’ve over­ looked the electric doorbell and the telephone and the electric grinding and polishing wheel that she intends to give me for Christmas. , And we both forgot - the > vacuum cleaner and her electric sewing machine. We are so completely surrounded by electric gadgets that it’s a wonder gadget he wants, broadly speaking. Anybody who has a job or a bit of property or a savings bank account or who can show any other sort of evidence that he probably will be able to pay in time for what he buys can buy almost anything, anywhere, on long term credit. The installment system of buying things used to be limited to substan­ tial articles which don’t wear out before they are paid for. Now the credit system has been developed to the point where personal character and reputation count for almost as much as the mortgage on the pur­ chased commodities, as a basis for credit. I have seen a change since my youth in the public attitude toward debt. We were told in my younger days, that one should not spend money until he had earned it Now the young are taught to get what they desire now and pay for it later, it later. I think we are heading toward a new economic order, if we are not already in it. Perhaps I am wrong, but I have an idea a social system based entirely upon universal credit might be made to work. HOUSE and HOME - by Mary E. Dague — Author of Sister Mary's Kitchen So many things, have changed and some have passed away with the years. The old “glory hole” has gone the way of the kerosene lamp and in place of a dark closet where damp, soiled looking dust rags lie in a cor­ ner with dusty mops and brushesresting on'the floor: Houses now are built with conven­ ient cleaning closets. A shelf for supplies, large hooks, small hooks and one or two towel racks make it possible to store all cleaning equip­ ment in such a way as to keep it in good condition and within easy reach when needed. If you have no built-in cleaning closet in your house you can buy a utility cupboard that will be large enough to take care of everything, including your vacuum cleaner and* its attachments. An adequate outfit of cleaning equipment and supplies simplifies the everyday care of the house and deserves good care. Brushes and brooms should be hung from hooks, the long flexible hose of your cleaner should be hung over a large hook and the various nozzles should be kept in a strong bag or a basket so they will be ready to take with y<Ju to any part of the house. Wash all mops, brushes and cleaning cloths as soon as they be­ come soiled. Then they will be clean and ready for the next using. White marks and rings on table tops and broad chflir-arms can often be removed by rubbing with a cloth dipped in equal parts of household ammonia and clear water. If the spot is very bad you may have to repeat the application. Then go over with furniture polish and rub until dry. “Would you mind telling me the weight of this?” asked the woman handing a parcel over the. counter of the butcher’s shop. “Certainly, madam,” replied the butcher, placing the parcel on the scales. “Just two pounds seven ounces.” “Thank you,” replied the woman, idly, That parcel contains the "bones of last week’s three-pound joint you sent me I” THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA General Statement, 30th November, 1938 Capita! stock paid up.Reserve fund..............

Hehas been befriended by the murderedEthridge, and is engaged to another ofAmos Ethridge’s proteges. . . . HazelWoods, lovely and brilliant youngactress, has been helped to success byEthridge. She Ilves in a small cot­tage owned by Ethridge. . . . JacobHiggs, eccentric old-time actor, now adoorman at the theater where HazelWoods plays, has appointed himselfher guardian and lives in a room overher garage. (Copyright or Hex Heaca> Vogel had made her bring her scrap-books of yellowed clippingsand her photographs; he had also ar-anged for press photographersand camera men from the newsweeklies, for here was a subject suitable for the screen reviews.When Mrs. Holmes left the build­ ing, she faced a battery of still andmovirg-picture cameras, and a wayfor her had to be cleared through the curiosity-seekers.Word quickly spread that an ac­ tual eve-witness of the Ethridgeslaying had come forward with an mcredib.'e story and a mob followedMrs. Holmes to her hotel. Itswarmed into the lobby and up to the elevator gates, reminding her ofthe crowds that had followed her in Paris, in Vienna. She would haveliked to step out of her room tosome balcony, with her arms full of roses, and throw kisses to the streetbelow her lying across her bed with herclothes on, and with an empty flaskbeside her. There was a perfectly good reasonwhy Gerald Holmes did not com­municate with his mother that night; he was. for the time being,out of communication with any­ body. Even while the evening extraswere in process of printing he hadbeen taken to police headquarters and there put through an examina­tion sufficiently rigorous to be termed the "third degree.” At firsthe was humiliated and bewildered,although scarcely alarmed; he an­ swered questions frankly and fully,not realizing in the least that everyword he uttered closed the netmore tightly about him.The police began by asking him about his relations with HazelWoods, and he told them of his en­gagement to her. He also admitted ownership of an automobile andidentified a linen dust coat as his property, although why the policehad taken pains to filch it from thecar and bring it here he could not imagine. With equal readiness headmitted having driven out to his mother’s farm on the evening of themurder and having left the car inthe pine grove near the entrance to the Ethridge lane. Yes, his rightheadlight had been out of com­mission. To Gerald it seemed inconceivablethat these men could actually su- >pect him of complicity in the crime.Xot until he had gone over and over the story of his trip out andback and had detailed his every ac­tion on that night without in the least impressing them did he beginto appreciate the seriousness of his situation. Why should they suspecthim of the murder, he demanded toknow. Why should he wish to harm the man who had done more for himthan anybody in Westland? What possible motive could he have fordestroying his benefactor? They told him why, in languageso plain, so brutal, that he wasstricken dumb. Miss Woods had been Amos Ethridge's sweetheart “You had better come clean," the detective warned. you know he has to get out to openthat gate. You know every inch ofthe ground out there, having been raised on the spot. You buy a cheapcar so you can get around—people on trolleys are likely to be seen andrecognized, late at night. What’s aguy like you. a picture-painter, want of an automobile, eh? All right.One night when Ethridge has a date with your gal—his gal—youbeat it out to see your mother. You're a nice, dutiful mamma’s boy,only you’re not living at home. No,youve got your own place , in town and you leave her alone with the chic­kens.

It fed her vanity to realize that in many quartersupon typewriter keys and telegraphinstruments fast-flying lingers were pounding out her life story and thatit was being cast into molten metal for the world to read. Those oldphotograph-, which had lain so long in the dark were being reproducedand new ones finished! MaryHolmes, “the goose woman,” had set the presses of the countrya-spinning; Maria di Nardi. the for­ gotten darling of grand opera, wasbeing reborn. Sustained emotion, such as slichad undergone today, demanded re­lief. and again she appealed to-the matron for some whiskey. But thelatter wa*. firm. Mrs. Holmes was too^Mkt u to eat any supper, norcoulffhc «ltep when bedtime came.Habit had become fixed, restraint had only whetted keener her desirefor drink, anl her outraged system clamored !k,-ccly tor its accustomedanodyne. She paced the floor untillong after her companion had retired.She wondered-why Jerry did not comniunica'*’ :<•<•■ her.

He had offered to makeher ove, if.she'd let him! Well, she had made herself over. She wishedhe could see her tonight. Mrs. Holmes rang for a bellboyand asked him the earliest possible moment he could secure for her themorning papers. The boy volun­teered to go to the offices and fetch the first copies off the press; thatwould probably be about three o'clock. This gave the woman anidea, and she inquired if by anychance, he could at the same time secure for her a little stimulant,preferably whiskey, although gin would do. The boy assured her thathe could. He did. Mary Holme*- found pictures ofherself on the damp frt,nt pages.The stories that went with them were all that she could have desired.She smiled, to be sure, at Vogel’spositive assertion that he was on the trail of “the man in the robe" andthat his arrest was merely a matter of hours. Vogel was a great grand-stander. xHe amused the reader. Shesteered the liquor in hVr bottle and felt her tautened nerves relax, felta grateful case and contentmentcreep through her. When the matron came-to awaken her charge in the morning she found ami the she occupied was their lo*-c n.-st. She was the writerof that “Thursday" note which had been found on his body, and, afterthe show* on the night of his slay­ ing. he had called upon her. as washis ;tequv.it habit? He had gone di- rec.’.v from her am s to his death. Gerald leaped to his feet. "That'sa lie!” he shouted. In a fury he struck at the speaker. No attemptwas made to quiet him; on the con­ trary, his inquisitors undertook tocapitalize hi» agitation. They goadedhim; they taunted him with being a fool; they told him things aboutEthridge and the girl that would have driven any lover frantic. Vogelcame in while this was going on, buthe took no part in the proceedings. When Jerry refused to be con­vinced. when again he called them liars and defied them to shake hisfaith his jiaueec. they shifted their tactics and read him his mother’sdeposition. He listened while in­credulity changed to despair. When they had finished he toldthem, miserably: “You shouldn’t be­ lieve that. She’s—not altogether re­sponsible. She drinks more than sheshould and there are times when she's apt to do or say almost any­thing. She’s nut a credible witness." "She wasn’t drunk when sheswore to this.'’ But—don’t you see, there’s just enough truth to wnat she says tomake it all ‘ovnd plausible? She doesn’t kno«- that I have an auto­mobile. I didn’t ttl’i her because—well, because she would .have con­ sidered it an extravagance, so shedoesn’t rea.ize it was my car she saw­ pass the house. I did leave it at thegrove and it did have only oneheadlight. Yes, and she saw the tracks there the next morning. Butshe ’ didn’t actually see the murd r. or she’d have told me. Why, wetalked it over when I got back from Chicago and she never said a wordabout it! Bring her here. Take meto her. She’ll set this thing straight ” “You better come clean,” one ofthe detectives told him. "It’ll save a lot of trouble and you're not doingyourself any good raving like this.You may save yourself from the gallows,” In spite of himself. Geraldflinched. “Pretty rotten to kill the man who befriended you. The jurywon’t be out twenty minutes. Why,listen to this and do a little t'.rnk- ing for yourself. Ethridge likes you.nays your way through art school, and one day he introduces you tohis gal. You fall for her, like anysucker, and want to marry her un­ til you discover she's his sweetie.But she knows a good thing when she’s got it and she stalls you. Allthose Janes have a-young’fellow onthe side! Of course you’re familiar with Ethridge’s habits; you knowhow he drives home that back way every night after he’s been to seeher, so nobodv will set wise, and night, too. Why, man, everything checks up, even to the white robe,or ’mantle,’ as sin* calls it! We find,this light-colored dust coat in your car. It ain’t exactly white and itain’t a ’robe,' but ifs close enough. I never saw a cleaner set-up. Bettercall it a day and sign on the dotted line.”Gerald spoke, quietly, listlessly:"You almost make me believe 1 did it, but there’s one thing you can’tmake me believe and that’s.,what you say about—Miss Woods.”That night while his mothergreedily read about herself in the papers and drank herself into a tri­umphant stupor Jerry sat on theedge of a bunk in the city prison. Westland was in a furore. Therewas but one topic of coversation. The Ethridge case had "broken”finally and the explosion rocked thecity, for nothing so fantastic as the true facts had been conceived inthe most imaginative mind. To begin with, the storyflof Ethridge’s"lov nest” and its ciarming occu­ pant—which, by the way. the pap­ers featured in screaming headlines—was sufficiently scandalous to de­ light the prurient minded. Then,too, the identity of the slayer was s genuine surprise. A wicked roue,a seductive actress, a Cupid's bower, and a jeajous young lover! It wasthe oldest, the most hackeycd situa­ tion known to. newspaper reporting:it was hdkum of the highest quality, sure-fire stuff. Anybody could writeit. everybody would "read it. To have the lover prove to be a base ingratewas an added touch and a tastymorsel. But the thrill, the drama, lay in, the fact that the ingrate’smother had actually witnessed the murder and. in absolute innocencef She part she played, had’brought fiini to justice. Here was some­thing stunning; here was a coinci­dence truly uncanny: here was the hand of God. Yes, and the final de­nouement, coming right on top of the discovery of her real identity,was piling sensation upon^sensation. To the general mind it was a pe­culiarly satisfying case because themotives were plain and understand­ able and because the persons in­volved, outside of the unfortunate mother, excited no sympathy what­ever.Mr. Vogel came in for great praise for the expedition with whichhe had solved a baffling mystery; the chain of evidence he had forgedwas so strong and so. complete thatnobody questioned it. On Sunday, the day after Gerald’s arrest, morethan one sermon had for its text “The wages of sin,” and from pul­pits, not alone in Westland, earnest preachers thundered against richmen of evil life, the ingratitude ofyouth, and the scarlet women ofthe stage.

A QUARTETTE OF NEW YEAR’SCALLERSThe good old custom of NewYear’s calling appears to be reviv­ing. In recent years there has been a decline in this expression of friendliness at any time of the year, and anyone calling at a house, un­ less on a shut-in, without a special invitation, is apt to be looked at uskanse. So it is'nice that at least on New Year’s Day the latch-string ir. out. In Ingersoll New Year’s calls were quite the thing, and the town was busy with cutters driving about, as people called on their friends. For many years, a group of prominent men, Mr. Rumsey, Mr. Hearn, Mr. McCaughey and Colonel Wonham, went about together to extend to their friends the compliments of the season. Probably the first call was cn their minister, so in the very early days they would go to the Rectory on the Cemetery Road, where they would find Mr, Rothwell or Mr. Revell. In later years, during the incumbency of Canon Hincks, they would find the Rectory at the South-East corner of King and Harris Street It would be just Mr. Canfield’s ■ house, where a cheerful welcome ' awaited them, and where they would warm their hands before the same hospitable fireplaces that greet visit­ ors to “Norleigh” now. Perhaps they would see the son home from Trinity College for his holidays who jjumo > are ■ "as 10 *atcr ^ecom e a physician in season* with town- Perhaps Mr. Rumsey found his son calling there too, but with a different purpose, for Mis?-" Kate Canfield later became Mrs. Charles Christmas with the latter’s parents, n 8tep farther toMr. and Mrs. Lennie in Toronto. v „„„Mr and Mrs. Arthur Neil, Jackie . koUfcC’ where a chee,fu l and Beverley of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Short and Miss Mary IHenderson of London, spent Christ- imas with Mr. and Mrs. J.

How much of that land could be bought now for that sum? It is worth many times that'1 since its limestone deposits have been discovered. Returning from Mr. Canfield’s they would probably drop in to see Elisha Hall. He never tired of ,re- , lating his experiences during the Rebellion, when he managed to es­ cape after a warrant had been issued for his arrest, as leaders of the Rebels in Oxford County. He ap­ peared to be in a tight cornet, as the pursuers were likely to arrive at any time, so he decided to take a chance and make an effort to es­ cape. Disguised as an old woman he went to the barn to get a milk ,pail. With that on his arm he tramped to the river where an Indian sympath­ izer waited with a canoe to take him to safety. When his pursuers arrived they did not find any foot­ marks leading from the house, but to it, so they concluded their prey was inside, where they made a thor­ ough search of every noolj and cranny. It was sometime before it was known that the Rebel had walk­ ed “in reverse’’ all the way to the river,-so .that the footmarks that ap­ peared to lead to the hUuse, were his as' he walked ■ away. We can fancy his saying as he chuckled “even though I did get away safely, I was glad to hear the next day that the Rebellion had been broken and a reprieve granted to the Rebels. I was lucky!” The quartette would* not pass the house of Daniel Carroll without offering greetings, although the wel­ come from the host was likely to be warmer than from his wife, who did not always extend the hand of hos­ pitality. Mr. Caroll might ask Colonel Wcfaham how he was get­ ting on with surveying the North side of the river, and the reply would probably be that it was much easier laying out Mr. Crotty’s land, as he was keeping a good deal for .farm­ ing, but that there was a great deal of work in laying out the Carnegie Survey, for that was to be subdiv­ ided into streeta The work of choos­ ing names--for them was consider­ able. But one thing had been decided, and that was not to give Mrs. Car­ negie’s full name, Isabelle, to a street, but just to call it Bell. Then over to the North side of the town they would go, with Mr. Carnegie’s as the first stop. If it were New Years of 1854, they would prob­ ably remark on the change in the place since the railroad hod come through, a change that was to con­ tinue till the Carnegie house was finally pushed from the scene entire­ ly, by railroad tracks. Mr. Carnegie might say to Mr.-.Rumsey that hebad heard that he was going to move his familyi to the North side too. To which the latter would perhaps reply, that his wife insisted on leaving their present abode at the North­ east corner of Thames and Charles streets, for ever since their little child had been drowned in the creek at the rear, she was nervous about the safety of the others. Squire Crotty’s would be the next stop,- and the welcome that they would receive there, is well known, for it still awaits all who call at that friendly home. “We might as well go on to say “Happy New Year to Mr. Walsh,” some one might say, even though it was beyond the town limits—the red cottage at the .wil­ lows, on the River Road. Mr. Walsh would tell them of his son Michael, who had been a “silly goose to spend forty dollars to go to Mani- peg." Michael evidently eventually agreed with his father, for he did not remain in Manipeg, but return­ ed home to practice his profession here. Time would not permit the callers to see all their friends every New Year’s Day, nor will space permit us to record all the calls that would be made. Some years they would go to see some, and other years they would call on others. There would be Dr. McCarthy at Cork Hill, Col­ onel Holcroft, in the house now oc­ cupied by the Miss Tuckers; Mr. John MacDonald, the first man to open a store on Thames street, when King street was the chief business street; Mr. James Noxon, in his fine house which is now the hospital; Mr. Chapman, Mr. Chadwick, the Mayor, or perhaps the Mayor that year was Mr. Sorley, the Manager of the Merchants Bank. These and many jnore would be honored to have. four such fine gentlemen as Mr. Rumsey, Mr. Hearn, Mr. Mc­ Caughey aff<r"Colonel Wonham call on them.

Yet he entered my office with a lost hand-dog air. He did not look directly at me for more than a moment at a time, but watch­ ed his feet and his strong, restless hands. I said to ‘Y’ (as 1 shall call him) as casually as possible: “You can tell me what the trouble is, for I have talked with hundreds of men with the most ser­ ious problems. You might begin by telling me why you think of your own personality as insignificant This is what he said: “Why do I feel ineffective and inferior in the presence of others? Why don't girls like me? Why do men never take me seriously? Why does no one really care what hap­ pens to me?” “Don't you think,” I ventured, “that your apparent unpopularity may be due to your own belief that people don't like you. For some reason you feel unworthy of their liking. Tell me how you really think of yourself, what mental pic­ tures you Jiave made of your life.” ‘Y’ fairly burst into speech. He was sure that people held him in contempt. Shamefacedly he admitted that he had tried to win approval' by imitating the jspeech, manner, and gestures of men who were popular. “Don’t you know,” I interjected, “that an imitator is always weak, because he knows that his poses are nothing but imitations? Do you know that what you really think about yourself—the mental images of yourself which you build-up—are the most potent factors in shaping your whole life?” The poor young fellow at length confessed that he had felt himself so unloved and unappreciated—such an outcast—that he had seriously contemplated suicide. “Start now, as you sit here,” I urged, “to make a mental motion picture of yourself as you would like to be; actually see yourself as popu­ lar and successful. Then maintain this vigorous, positive, mental pic­ ture, no matter what temptations to fear and doubt arise in your Habit­ ual Mind, that phase of your mind which deals usually only with out­ ward things and with the works and thoughts of other men. “By creating forceful and positive mental pictures of yourself, you an using the Christ Mind, which is in direct contact with the Higher In­ telligence, the God Mind, the source of all strength, inspiration and new ideas—able to transform your entire life.” The boy promised to follow my directions. Within six months *Y’, because of the general confidence and popular­ ity which he inspired, had been se­ lected to head and manage a big country club near his citjf—a highly responsible position for a boy of his age. Shortly afterwards an older man saw such possibility in ‘Y’ that he backed him heavily in an in­ vestment ‘Y’ made good in the most thorough-going-manner. “Mary!" cried the choking teacher, “hpw on earth did you ever happen to make such a mess?” “Honest, teacher,” said Mary tear­ fully, “I was just following the recipe. It said to bring it to a boil and then beat it for ten minutes an’ when I got back it was all burned up!” 1BE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA REPORTS GOOD YEAR The Annual Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss account for the year ending November 30, 1938, being issued by The Royal Bank of Canada to its shareholders reflects a very substantial growth in practically all departments of the bank’s business. Features of the statement are sub­ stantial increases in loans and de­ posits. Total assets are $908,064,711, an increase of $38,500,000 during the year. Current Loan* Increaie $18,000,000 Current loans in Canada, includ­ ing loans to municipalities and Pro­ vincial Governments, amount to $218,211,058 as against $200,563,- 727 in the previous year. Current Ioans outside 'of Canada remain practically unchanged. The increase in Canada confirms the trend estab­ lished in the previous year, total in­ crease in current loans in Canada | for the last two years exceeding SALLY'S SALLIES Y'/W’Prt EARTH flAVE I TAlkuP ABO Tested Receipts Baked Stuffed Flank Slit flank steak-to form pocket, or if the steak be thin, fold one-half over the other, and fill with poultry or other dressing.

A few slices of breakfast bacon may be placed on top of meat 10 minutes before serving. CHOOSING and COOKING MEAT One of the household problems in several countries is the knowledge that the quality of beef in a but­ cher’s shop is not always easy to determine. Canada, however, is an exception. In the Dominion there is no necessity for any concern in that direction, provided the meat to be purchased is branded or graded beef. Graded beef (or branded beef as some persons call it) bears the Government's ‘ guarantee of quality, of which there are two grades. The first grade is known fis "Choice,” each cut bearing a portion of the red ribbon-like mark which runs from one end of each side of the carcass to the other. The second grade is the “Good" grade or brand, stamped u’ith a blue ribbon-like mark after the manner of the other grade. I Thus, buying beef by grade takes the hazard out of marketing. The round official "Canada” mark of Government inspection guarantees only that the meat is wholesome and free from disease. Good beef may be tough. Therefore, the grade marks—red and blue ribbons—are the only guarantees of quality. The grades are chosen for quality from Government inspected meat. The following recipes are taken from the 52-page illustrated pam­ phlet “Beef and How to Choose and Cook It,” which may be obtained free on application from the Pub­ licity and Extension Division, Dom­ inion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa: Short Ribs Browned To four or five pounds of short ribs add one large onion quartered; cover with boiling water for ten minutes. Reduce simmer for one hour, ribs to roasting pan and hot oven for from one-half to three- quarters of an hour, or until the ribs are nicely browned. Peeled potatoes may be included during this latter period, if desired. Thicken liquor in which the ribs were boiled, and serve as gravy. and boil heat and Remove place in “Do married men live longer than single men, daddy?” “It seems longer." $30,000,00. Deposit* Increase $48,000,000 Deposits are shown at a higher figure than in any previous Annual Balance Sheet. Practically the total increase is in non-interest bearing deposjts.

In this connection it is in­ teresting to note that as late as November 1935 free deposits were ?0r7c) of the total, whereas they are now approximately 46%. Strong Liquid Position As might be expected under ex­ isting conditions, the liquid position is exceptionally strong, total liquid assets being $543,237,400, an in­ crease of approximately $30,000,- 000. It is noteworthy that cash, cheques and deposits with other banks amount to $200,287,265. The percentage of liquid assets to total assets was 65.37 practically unchang­ ed from the previous year. A Profit* Practically Unchanged Net profits for the year arc shown at $3,696,233 as compared to $3,- 711,379 in the previous year. Divi­ dends paid absorbed $2,800,000. The usual contribution of $300,000 to the Pension Fund Society was made as well as an appropriation of $200,000 for Bank Premises, leav­ ing a balance to be carried forward of $2,721,409, an increase of $396,- 233.
