not as large as had been hop<;d for.
This year the affair is being held
three nights instead of two and the
Club has secured a Merry-Go-Round,

booths operated by Club members,
should provide fun and amusement
for young and old.

Members of the Ingersoll Kiwanis
Club welcomed one of their mem
bers, 'lieutenant Donald Mackenzie
to theirt regular weekly supper meet
ing at the Ingersoll Inn on Thurs
day eve'ning last and listened to an
interesting talk on “Rambles In
England,” in which Lieut. Macken
zie related some of his experiences
during the nearly two years he spent
overseas. There ,was a large turn
out of club^merrtbcrs to greet Lieut
Mackenzie, who was a director of
the club at the time he enlisted.
Past President Kiwanian Elmer J.
Chisholm was chairman of
meeting and Kiwanian Reg.
Stone introduced the speaker.
Lieut. Mackenzie explained
opening his remarks, that he was
not permitted to discuss military
matters in any way but to comply
with the invitation of the club to
address the meeting he would des
cribe some of his rambles through
the British Isles.
His trip overseas had been a most
delightful but uneventful one. He
crossed on the “Duchess of Aus
tralia”, the boat on which King
George and Queen Elizabeth re
turned to England after their visit
to Canada and the United States in
1939. The speaker described the
beauty of the rural scenes in Scot
land and England, and declared,
“There is nothing in the world more
beautiful than the rural, scenery in
the British Isles in the spring time”.
Lieutenant Mackenzie said one
would marvel at the quick way in
which the British Isles was turned
into an armed fortress. The people
there still wondered why Hitler did
not attempt an invasion of Englund
after Dunkirk, as they were little
prepared at that time and an invas
ion 'attempt then to follow up the
bombings, might have had a disas-
trous effect. The situation at the
present time was much changed.
The country was heavily fortified
and the morale was at a high pitch.
The speaker mentioned the severe
damage that had been done in cer
tain sections of the country by
bombing raids and remarked that it
seemed strange that so much of the
damage was to business and resi
dential property rather than to in
dustrial plants or military object
ives.
The Germans apparently attempt
ed to demoralize the people of the
British Isles by their ruthless' ai«
raids, but it did not have the desired
effect on Britishers but was rather
a means of strengthening their de
termination to fight on until the
very last.
The speaker described the great
raid on London and told of the dam
age that resulted to the buildings
around St. Paul’s Cathedral, while
that great edifice escaped practically
untouched. It was his opinion that
when this district is rebuilt again it
would probably be a great improve
ment over what had been there
before.
Mention was made of the food
and clothes rationing in Britain.
Lieut. Mackenzie remarked that
there were numerous things on the
531 supper table at the meeting that
in
Death on Wednesday evening,
May 20th,^removed a widely-known
and highly esteemed resident of Ing
ersoll and district in the person of
Annie McVea, widow of the late
Robert Haffey, who passed away at
the family residence, 77 Williaip
street, following an illness of about
two weeks’ duration, although she
had not been in the best of health
for some time.
The late Mrs. Haffey, who was in
her 64th year, was bom in Dereham
Township, but had resided for the
greater part of her life in the town
of Ingersoll, where she had a wide
circle of friends and acquaintances.
She was a member of the Church
of the Sacred Heart, and of the
Catholic Women's League, in which
she took a keen interest and was an
active worker and her kindly and
cheerful manner had endeared her
to a host of friends who deeply re
gret her passing.
Left to mourn the passing of a
dearly beloved mother are three
daughters, Misses Mary, Marjory
and Ruth all at home. Also surviv
ing are three brothers, Edward Mc
Vea, Detroit; Thomas McVea and
Henry McVea, Ingersoll, to all of
whom the sympathy of their many
friends is extended in their irrepar
able sorrow.
The funeral was held from the
family residence, 77 William street,
on Saturday morning at 8.00 o'clock
to the Church of the Sacred Heart,
where requiem mass was solemnized
at 8.30 o’clock by Rev. Father A.
Fuerth, pastor of the church. The
service was very largely attended
and many mass cards and beautiful
floral tributes testified to the esteem
in which deceased was held and
sympathy for the sorrowing family.
Interment was made in the Sacred
Heart Cemetery, the pall bearers
being Messrs. Jack Clark, Thomas J.
Morrison, Thomas Hanlon, Dr. H. G.
Furlong, Fred McDermott and
Claude Hughes,

Sister of Arthur Rowe
Passes Away At Toronto
The sympathy of the community
is extended to Arthur Rowe, Mill
street, on the death of his sister,
Mrs. J. S. Featherstonbaugh, who
passed away in Toronto on Mon
day, May 25th. Deceased who was
in her 80th year was born in Port
Hope, Ontario, but had resided in
Toronto for a number of years.
Left to mourn her passing besides
her husband are two sons and three
daughters; one sister in Vancouver,
and one brother, Arthur Rowe of
Ingersoll. The funeral was held on
Wednesday afternoon from the A.
W. Miles Funeral Home, SO St
Clair Avenue West, Toronto, with
interment, in St. James’ Cemetery,
Toronto.
Ideal weather was a contributing
factor to one of the most successful
Victoria Day celebrations for child
ren held locally in recent years.
The program was under tho aus
pices of the Big Eight Society and
was carried out on Monday morning,
May 25th. It commenced with a big
street parade from .the Market
Square to 'Memorial Park via Ox
ford, Charles, Thames and Canter
bury streets. This was headed by
the new Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Club
Boys’ Band who made their first
public appearance and were acclaim
ed with loud applaus for their fine
playing and well selected marches.
Considering the fact the band was
started only six months ago and
only one or two of the members
ever played an instrument previ
ously, , their playing was nothing
less than remarkable.
Many children took part in the
parade and their costumes were ex
ceptionally fine which made the
work of the judges to select winners
a most difficult one.
A meeting of the Big Eight was
held in the f.O.O.F. Hall at 9.00
o'clock preceding the celebration,
with President S. A. Gibson in the
chair. At the park, President Gib
son officially opened the celebration
and expresaed_jthe appreciation of
the Big Eight to the Town Council,
manufacturers and business man for
their donations and support of the
society in sponsoring the celebration.
He also welcomed the large number
of parents and children to the park,
Rev. R. Harold Parr, was in
charge of the judging for the par
ade and his assistants were Rev.

Reference was made to the fact
that the Canadian troops are well

it was an interesting right to be in

our Canadian boys and men from
Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and the Imperial force*.
Some personal experiences were
related by the speaker and he told
of meeting a few Ingersoll boys
while overseas. It was his opinion
that the fact that to many Canadian

e.No Surplus Sugar
For Strawberry Festivals
Extra allotments of sugar for strawberry socials,
teas and other charitable functions will not be
granted in the future, according to information re
ceived by W. Harold McPhillips, London, Prices and
Supply Representative of the Western Ontario Re
gion of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.
"The Board suggests that sugar for such affairs
be provided from household rations of those engaged
in the undertaking, thus making their sacrifices
more sincere,” added the Board official.
'*Other methods of raising funds could be found
by organizations and I am sure that the public in
general will co-operate in conserving Canada’s sugar
supply,” added Mr. McPhillips.
Fuel Situation
The people of Ontario have already, been warned
to get their next winter’s supply of coal this sum
mer in order to be prepared for any contingency
that may arise. To meet the situation many fuel
dealers have arranged a budgeting plan for the con
venience of householders who may not be able to
pay cash on the nail at this time of the year. It is
explained that in respect to coal the difficulty is
not so much a shortage as the possibility of trans
portation obstacles in the fall of'the year. Evidently
the all clear sign for coal is now in effect, but with
renewed activity in the war effort this may not last
for long.. In the meantime householders with oil
heating equipment ,vtill have to bestir themselves.
Munitions Minister Howe has already announced that
there may be no heating by oil next winter in houses
or factories anywhere in Canada. In respect to nat
ural gas in Western Ontario, Mr. Howe intimated
■ that the supply was'dwindling and it was likely
those whose furnaces could be converted to other
fuel use would have to convert them.

Wool and Binder Twine
A point that is worth every wool producer noting,
is not to use binder twine or sisal string to tie wool
fleeces after shearing. Use paper string only. If
paper string is not available the fleece should bo
left untied.
The Canadian Wool Board Ltd., has made a rul
ing that any wool tied with binder twine is subject
to a penalty deduction of one cent per pound.
The reason that wool tied with binder twine is
penalized is because twine fibres get caught in the
fleece and the strands of jute or sisal cause defects
in the finished wool fabric. Moreover, fleeces tied
with binder twine slow up production and reduce the
quality of wool products—and just now with diffi
culties in the way of getting normal supplies of
wool from Australia and New Zealand, every fibre
of Canadian wool is required. ,
While it is true that some particles of paper string
or twine mix with the wool in the fleece they are
easily removed and have no effect on the final woven
product.
To use binder twine to tie the fleece is an expen
sive business.—and what is equally as important it
just isn’t playing ball with the fighting forces, jfor
whom most of the wool is required.
Wool Board To Buy All Canadian Wool.
The Canadian Wool B&ard, Ltd., has been es
tablished under the Wartime Prices and Trade Board
to act as sole agent in the buying and distribution
of all Canadian produced .wools, both shorn and
pulled. All .prices at which Canadian wools shall be
bought and sold will be set by the Wool Board. The
Board undertakes to purchase all Canadian produ
ced wools for the duration oftthe war and for one
year thereafter.
Prices for all grades and qualities of Canadian
fleece will be set for 1942 so as to assure the
grower of a reasonable return for his clip, according
to its grade and quality. Settlement with each grower
will be baaed on the grade, shrinkage, and general
condition eff his individual clip.
AU agents^ country collectors, fieldmen, local asso
ciations, or other persons operating in the collection
of fleece wool must be licensed by Canadian Wool
Board, Ltd. There is no intention to upset unduly
the regular and legitimate channel of trade through
which individual dips have bean handled for some
years past.
All wools collected, procured or solicited by a lic
ensed operator must pass through a Registered Ware
house. It Is unlawful for any agency or person other
than a Registered Warehouse or Licensed Operator
t» buy or procure any ungraded fleece, and it is also
an offence to sell or deliver to a Warehouse or Oper
ator not licensed by the Canadian Wool Board, Ltd.
Any non delivery of wool to a specified warehouse
must be reported immediately.
Any grower may ship direct to a Registered Grad
ing Warehouse and in all cases final settlement,
baaed on the prices set for the various grades, win
go direct to the grower from or through the Regis
tered Warehouse.

EVE CURIE’S RED CROSSAPPEAL -Just back from a five months’ trip
to the battlefronts of Libya, Rus
sia, China, Burma, and India, Eve
Curie made an appeal on a national
C.B.C. broadcast opening the Can
adian Red Cross campaign. The
charming, brilliant daughter of
Madame Marie Curie, the discov
erer of radium, 'was introduced by
Mrs. Arthur W. Ellis, president
elect of the Ontario Division of the
Red Cross. Speaking from Toronto,
Eve Curie made a heart-rending
appeal that will do much to raise
funds to keep the Red Crow in ac
tion and much to stimulate the Can
adian people to greater efforts and
sacrifices.
It was a sad, beautiful appeal,
pointed directly at Canadians, from
the one woman in the world who has
seen this terrible war on the major
fronts in recent months.
Mlle. Curie told why the de
mands on the Canadian Red Cross
are so enormous. She told of the
desperate need on all fronts for
scientific equipment, medical sup
plies and food; how the Red Cross
is fighting the ravages of war on
soldiers and civilians and battling
against famine and disease from the
tropics to the far North. She ap
pealed for "your own boys of.the
Air Force demolishing Nazi war
plants; Commandos coming back
from victorious raids; the men of
the Navy and the Merchant marine
who keep the sealanes open—the
sealanes so vital to victory. Your
Canadian Red Cross looks after all
of them.”
Mlle. Curie told of seeing German
prisoners on the Russian front badly
clothed and badly nourished.
"Your Canadian boyu who are
prisoners in Germany are fed and
clothed according to the standards
of the Germany Army—you can be
very thankful that the Canadian
Red Cross Society provides your
boys in German prison camps with
extra food and clothing. For you can
be very sure that Hitler looks after
his soldiers first and your soldiers
last
“The American continent is
greatly blessed. In China and Russia
I saw the greatest poverty. In Brit
ain comforts are cut to a minimum
but in America we have peace and
freedom to work. We must work
for the rest of the world; we must
give for the rest of the world.
“So when the Canadian Red
Cross asks you for help, give with
a good heart and don’t be tempted
to answer 'I have already given?
Imagine the chorus of voices who
would answer you from all the
battlefields from all the bombed
• cities: The soldiers saying, ’I have
been already wounded; the children
saying 'I have been already hungry*;
the women 'I have already been
bombed out of my house ... I have
already lost everything I had’.
"If you think of these things—
these things that I saw with my eyes
and that remain an obession to me
—you will not say: i have given
already’, but 'I will give again and
again’?*
Jam Quota This Year
Is 300,000 Pounds
Ontario Women’s Institute mem
bers who last year in co-operation
with the Red Cross Society were in
strumental in forwarding 233,232
pounds of jam to Great Britain for
the use of civilian war victims and
Canadian troops in hospitals, are
being asked to make 300,000 pounds
of jam this year, states Miss Mary
A. Clarke, Superintendent, Wom
en’s Institute Branch, Ont. Dept of
Agriculture, Toronto.
As in previous years, the Canad
ian Red Cross Society will provide
the cans, labels and cases, and pro
vide transportation to final destin
ation. Sufficient sugar has been as
sured the enterprise and Institute
members in non-fruit growing areas
will have an opportunity to supply
funds for sugar.
One hundred and fifty ton* of jam
will bring a lot of sweetness into
the lives of British bomb victims,
mostly children and old people.
Hundreds of letters have been re
ceived from grateful recipients in
cluding many from matrons of
children’s homes who state the jam
sent last year has been a welcome
<*nd health-giving addition to the
children’s diet.
While the work in connection with
the actual jam making will be done
by W. I. members, this does not
mean that contributions of fruit,
sugar or money win not be grate
fully accepted by them frem citl-
sens tn general.
The jam making objective for
Canada as a whole has bean set at
600,000 pounds.
PRODUCTION BRIGADES
MARCH ON THEIR STOMACHS
Itello, Homemakers! The daring
Commandos, ehock troops of the
Allies, learn to march and fight for
days on less food than* an average
production worker would consider
necessary to keep him going. Hard
physical training on balanced ra
tions of well-prepared foods in their
packs makes their daring expedi
tions possible.
Production brigades—workers on
the home front—also need to carry
balanced rations and nourishing
food in their dinner pails. Care
fully prepared, neatly packed sand
wiches, with a bit of variety added
every day in the way of fruit or
something similar to the casserole
dish, can make every lunch-box in
teresting.
Sandwiches, the mainstay of the
lunch, should be made of whole
grain bread or enriched flour bread.
Fillings should always be mincod,
flavoured and slightly moistened
with salad derating, ketchup, pickles,
etc. Always include a fresh fruit or
raw vegetable, because they are re
freshing, good, and nice to bite! Be
sure to add a twist of salt to dip
celery, radishes, ete., in. Because
men are still boys at heart, add
some kind of sweet to their boxes,
m well as to the girls*—a fruit
turnover, filled cookie*, a handful
of raisins or a few apricots.
LUNCH-BOX SUGGESTIONS

Loss Through Weeds
Total* $20,000,000
The Ontario weed menace might
well be called the fifth column of
agricultural war production, says
John D. MacLeod, Crops, Seeds, and
Weeds Branch, Ontario Dept of
Agriculture, Toronto. He points
out that crops lost through weed
infestation cost Ontario farmers
twenty million dollnrs last yct<r mid
unless stem efforts are made thia
year by farmers and municipal
authorities the loss may bo even
greater.
“We must not relax our effort*.”
said Mr MacLeod. “Ws should re
member the undesirable weed legacy
we were left after the last war, with
.ensuing crop losses that ran into the
millions of dollars."
Mr. MacLeod agreed that *n ex
tra special effort would be needed
to keep weeds under reasonable
control thia year, but he empha
sized that time and money spent in
eradicating weeds would be well
spent and provide dividends in in
creased crops that would more than
offset any labor outlay.
He **id his Department would
make a special dt ive on weeds whose
seed* are wind-borne, such as Per
ennial Sow Thistle. Canada Thistle
and Wild Carrot. Chicory anjl
Hawkweeds were a crop menace
that were spreading rapidly and an
< xtra special effort wiuld ba mad*
to eradicate small patches of Field
Bindweed.

In picture-making — so today let's
consider the subject of backlighting.
There are several reasons why every
photographer should frequently use
backlighting in his picture-making.
First, It's an excellent means of
dramatizing any subject.
Second. It’s one of the primary
methods of adding variety and extra
Interest to any snapshot collection.
And, on the third count, it’s oneof the most effective tricks I know
In producing out-of-the-ordinary Pic
tures.All right, now what are t/ie prac
tical aspects of backlighting! In
other words, how can It be made towork for you in your picture-mak
ing. rather than against you?
Well, remember this: composing
a backlighted picture will be nomore difficult than composing any
other snapshot if you let your in*herent good taste guide you.Exposure, however, Is somewhatdifferent for backlighted subjectsthan for "normal" subjects. If—as
in many cases—you want a sort ofSilhouette effect, then the secret lies
in a very short exposure. But, ifyou should want a good deal of de
tail In the shadows, then you’ve got
to give at least 100 per cent extraexposure—twice as much as normal.
However, don’t worry too muchabout technicalities. Remember to
shade the lens from the sun and
compose simply, but In any eventtry making pictures when the light
is coming from behind your subject.You’ll find its one certain way toget dramatic, Interesting pictures.

VOCATIONAL GUIDANCEWAS TOPIC OF
Y’S MEN ADDRESS
Friday night’s meeting of the
Y’s Men’s Club was of a special na
ture for their guests were none but
their own Boys' Band. Harold Uren,
chairman of the band committee,
acted as master of ceremonies, and
through the course of the program
extended many fine compliments to
both the band members and their
leader, Mr. Robinson of London.
Ross Bigham of the Band Commit
tee, also praised all those who were
making the band such a success and
especially commended Rev. H. Pan-
on the splendid work he was doing
as chairman of the band fund com
mittee, Y’sman Harold Parr gave a
report’on the subscription fund and
stated that their objective was
82.000 and that they also hoped to
provide some type of uniform for
the members of the band this year.
Ewart-Bartley voiced the apprecia
tion of all present for the fine meal
set before them by Group 2 of the
W. A. of Trinity Church. Mrs. N.
Daniel returned the thanks on be
half of the ladies.
Dr. Reg. Rogers led in a rousing
sing song assisted by Miss Mary
Crowley at the piano. A trumpet
quartette, composed of Mr. Robinson,
Frank Williams, Harry Williams and
Bob. Jeffery, all of the Moose Band
of London, rendered “The Spacious
Firmament" and “The World is
Waiting For the Sunrise.”
Mr. Howard Beatty of the Board
of Education, London, was the spec
ial speaker and discussed Vocational
Guidance. He explained that.it was
not a magic method of determin
ing one and only one occupation,
for the average individual has a
chance to succeed in any occupation
provided he has the, will to do so.
The guidance was a scientific at
tempt to get the’ student to choose
the vocation in which he is most in
terested and in which his qualifica
tions would make him best adapted.
It is not a placement policy entirely
although many positions are found
through ita operation. The final
judgment and entire value is not
placed on psychological testing
either. By a combination of these
factors and the student’s own quali
fications these are found to be re
lated to those of a certain field of
endeavour and it is logical that
here the student is most likely to
succeed. The counsellor does not
select the occupation but leaves it
to the student to decide.
Vocational Guidance is not a wild
dream—it is practical and on the
basis of democracy nothing could
be more true. In London, the only
city in Canada to carry out this
programme of guidance in their
schools, there are regular classes inr
vocational guidance and individual
counselling given by teachers and
outside service clubs and individuals
ns well. The basic requirements for
the different vocations are ex
plained and discussed with the stu
dents. Later when the student is in
terested and decide* on a certain
type of vocation, individual coun
selling with an outside person al-
icady engaged in the chosen type of
work is provided.
Vocational guidance is not the
job of the counsellor or teacher but
the job of every person in the com
munity who is able to give guid
ance. Picture the young boy at the
cross roads not sure what to do,
unless someone guides him he will
become a problem. Here is where
our duty lies.
Bob. Walton introduced Mr.
Beatty to his interested listeners
and Mi. E. Chisholm expressed the
heartfelt thanks of all for the ia-
structive-MM^ress.

REGULAR MEETING
OFJTOWN COUNCIL
At the regular meeting of the
town council, held last week, Mayor
Dr. J. G. Murray presided and all
members were in attendance with
the exception of Councillor Archie
W. Clark who was absent through
illness.
Communications included a re
quest from the Public Library Board
that *300 be placed to the credit
of that body and from Chas. Guil
ford, secretary of the Ingersoll
Branch of the Canadian Legion re
questing a rebate of the rental of
the town hall for a recent motion
picture show that was held there.
An application was read for an in
crease in salary from Fire Chief H.
G. Gillespie.
Only two committee reports were
presented. The Finance Committee
report read by Councillor H. T.
Bower, recommended that the Mun
icipal Clerk be granted membership
in the Municipal Finance Officers’
Association at a cost of *10.00.
That *10,000.00 be placed to the
credit of the Ingersoll Board of
Education as per their request of
May 7th. That the Big Eight So
ciety be granted *50.00 for their
May 24th Children’s Day Celebra
tion, and that a number of accounts
be paid. Councillor Stanley J.
Smith presented the report of the
Market Committee which recom
mended the payment of a number
of accounts. Both reports were ad
opted as read.
Councillor Smith said he would
leave over the matter of bringing
up the removal of the street ear
rails from Charles street between
Oxford and Thames until the chair
man of the Board of Works, Coun
cillor Clark was able to be present
at meetings.
On motion of Councillor* Bower
and Morrison, *300.00 was placed to
the credit of the Public Library
Board as per their request of May
I Sth and the rebate of the rental of
the town hall was made to the Can
adian Legion on motion of Coun
cillors Smith and Daniel
Henry Ogden, the Kiwania Club
representative on the Ki-Y Play
grounds Committee, interviewed the
council on behalf of the committee,
requesting that repairs ba made to
the nrimming pool at Memorial
Board of Works waa ill the senior
member of that committee should
undertake that job. ,
Mayor Murray explained that the
council had been waiting for the
Government to give some assistance
in regards to fixing Bell street and
this was the reason nothing had been
done on this street. He explained
that work had been started on King
street west but the men had beeu
called from this to do btreet oiling
for a few days and would be back
working on King street as soon as
the oiling was completed. Several
members of the council took part in
the discussion on this matter and all
agreed that the condition of the
streets mentioned was bad and they
required some immediate attention.
Councillor Morrison suggested
to Councillor George Preston that
the Police Committee have certain
“Stop" signs that had been knocked
down or damaged, repaired and put
in place and that new “Stop" signs
be placed-- at intersections on King
Hirum street as' this was being used
by some as a speedway.
Councillor Preston asked Mayor
Murray if he had made out the pay
cheques for members of the Police
Force with the increases approved
at the last meeting. The mayor re
plied that this had not been done as
he had taken up the matter of the
increases with the town solicitor, W.
R. Marshall and had been informed
that there was a penalty of *1000
for raising wages without first se
curing approval from the National
Wage and Labor Board and enquir
ies were at present being made in
this regard and as yet no replies
had been received. There was con
siderable discussion on the matter
and the clerk was Requested to write
the board and ask permission to
raise the police salaries in accord
ance with the resolution passed at
the last meeting.
During this discussion Councillor
Smith enquired why some members^
of the Board of Works were not re
ceiving the Cost of Living Bonus
while it was being paid to others.
He termed' it a disgrace for the
town to pay a married man with a
sick wife only *14.00 per week. The
matter was finally left over until
word is received from the National
Wage and Labor Board.

NO PRIVILEGE FOR WEALTHY
JAPANESE
Wealthy Japanese will not be
allowed to settle wherever they saw
fit in Canada. This was disclosedin Parliament by- the Hon. Hum-hrey Mitchell, Minister of Labor,who has charge of Japanese move?rnents from place to place, when hedeclared: “No Japanese, regardlessof financial standing, are being allowed to relocate anywhere witnoutfirst receiving permission.” Thisrefutes stories to the contrary.
INFORMATION REFUSED ON
WHEAT PRICE
It is not the Government in Ottawa
which cannot supply the information
on the price being paid by Britain
for Canadian wheat. Hon. J. A.
MacKinnon, Minister of Trade andCommence, refused to state the pricebecause he said that the British Government did not want to disclose itin Canada, though it is understoodthat the Canadian authorities hadsought to lift the veil of secrecybut its request had been refused bythe British Government.ACOUSTICS ARE BAD
It is a fact that acoustics in the
House of Commons are bad but this
condition may not continue much
longer if the suggestion of one Mem
ber of Parliament is followed by
proper action. “I should like to dir

the fact that 75 per cent of the mem

is said in this chamber. There should
be a loud speaker on the desk of
every Minister so-that we could het.r

Dr. J. K. Blair, Member for Welling

“Martin Stopes is the X we havebeen seeking—the man responsiblefor removing Harley Longstreet,Charles Wood and John O. DeWitt,”Thumm gulped. "I've neverheard of him I His name's nevercome up!""What's in a name, Inspector?You have had the pleasure of seeing Martin Stopes many, manytimes!"All that afternoon his men hadbeen disturbing the turgid depthsof various New Jersey streamscrossing the path of the West ShoreRailroad and, as successive attempts with the dragging apparatusproved sterile.It had grown quite dark by thetime the wet and weary party ofmen reached a stream near thetown of Bogota. Strong searchlightswere set up near the tracks andLane and Thumm stood watchingthe mechanical movements of theworkmen. There was a shout fromone of the men operating a row-
Lane was swathed in a topcoat, a
wide-brimmed felt bat pulled overhis face. He sat beside InspectorThumm by the window, bis headturned to the pane, apparently
either asleep or absorbed In somemental problem.Thumm glanced at Lane's avert
ed bead, sighed, and got to hisfeet He tramped heavily out of thecar. Almost at once he returned with
an excitement-flushed face. He satdown and leaned forward, whispering to Bruno. "Something queer.. . . Just spotted Ahearn and Im-perlale in the forward car."
The conductor appeared at theforward end of the coach and began to collect and punch tickets.When he reached the police partyhe grinned in recognition; Thummnodded sourly and paid the fare ofthe party in cash. The conductortook from his outside breast pocketa number of standard cash-faretickets, placed them together,punched them at two places and,ripping the tickets in half, handedThumm one set, depositing the other in a pocket . ,t.Mr. Drury Lane* the somnolent,
chose this instant to spring star
tlingly into life. He rose, whippedoff the concealing hat and coat,
and turned to face the conductor.
“On the contrary.” Lane smiled.
“There are a number of things in
connection with him about which
I am at sea.”From Bruno be learned that It
had been Stopes who in 1912 haddiscovered a manganese mine,
while he and his partner, Crockett,
were prospecting in the Interior ofUruguay. Because the two menneeded capital to work it they hadtaken in as partners, on smallerpercentages, two other prospectors—Longstreet and DeWitt Slopesmade it clear that the crime he hadbeen accused of subsequently wascommitted by Crockett Crockettbad attacked Stopes* wife one nightin a drunken lust, while Stopes wasat the nearby mine, and when sheresisted, had killed her. Longstreethad concocted the plan wherebythe three were to accuse Stopes ofthe murder, and, since no one knewthe mine legally belonged to Stopes,they could take over the minethemselves—it had been unregistered. Crockett was shaken by hiscrime and accepted the plan eagerly. DeWitt, Stopes said, was dominated by Longstreet and forced bythreats to join the conspiracy.

"What Is it?" roared the Inspector, scrambling down the slope."A .38, no doubt?" asked Lane’ mildly..'That's what it is!” criedTlurhm. “Only one empty chamber, and FllXbet .dollars to dough-Puts that when we fire a bullet'through this barrel the markings'lljibe with that one we took out ofPeWittl"He fondled the wet weapon tenderly, wrapped it in a handkerchiefand put the thing into bls coatpocket
They had reached the police carnow and rested gratefully against
the black door, Lane remarked:"In any event, the discovery of the
.revolver where we found it definitely eliminates any opportunity otCollins."
"You mean that Collins now hasa perfect out?"
“Judiciously phrased. Inspector.The local pulled into the RidgefieldPark ititlon at 12:30. Collins secured a taxicab before the trainwas out of sight—this is importantFrom that point on his alibi is fixedby the taxi-driver who was takinghim in the opposite direction fromthe train—toward New York. Therevolver could not have beenthrown from the train into thestream before 12:35, the time thetrain passed, over it Even if therevolver were thrown Into thestream by a person on foot, hecould not have reached the streambefore the train, naturally." \
Quacey spoke into a telephone inhis wiggery at The Htanlct ai Drury Lane sprawled in a chair."Yes, sir, Mr. Bruno. Tonight at♦teven you are to meet Mr. Lanehere and bring Inspector Thummand • small squad of police inplain clothes."At the appointed time the doorottbe library ^opened suddenly andQtlpcey slipped' in. an expectantgrin on his old gnarled face. Theninto the room strode a burly, ruddy-faced man who regarded them truculently. He had a powerful chin,but fc i cheeks tagged slightly andthere were unmistakable signs ofdissipation around his eyes Hewas dressed tn rough tweeds, andjammed bls hands into naplesspockets and glowered at them.
District Attorney Bruno blinkedhis eyes rapidly, but InspectorThumm was affected in a subtler.profounder way. He whisperedboesseiy: Harley Longstreet!"" *0. that deceit should dwell tnsuch a gorgeous pajacel' ’’ saidHarley Longstreet—to the splendid
voice of Drury Lane.
The man stared blankly. Laneplunged his hand into one of thepatch-pockets of his sackcoat, produced a silver case and. snappingit open, took out a pair of eyeglasses. He did not put them on.merely regarded the conductor witha reflective, curious preoccupation.The conductor's hand stopped inmid-air. holding his ticket-punch.His mouth popped open, his tallburly figure sagged, the winy coloring of his face vanished in aflood of dead-white. Out of hismouth came a stogie word: “Longstreet ...”
Th a artificial lips of Harley Longstreet smiled and his right hand,dropping the silver case and eyeglasses, went again into his pocketand came out clutching somethingmetallic ... A tiny click and theconductor tore bis eyes away fromthat smiling face to look down dazedly at the handcuffs on his wrists.Whereupon Mr. Drury Lanesmiled again, this time at the unbelieving faces of Inspector Thummand District Attorney, Bruno. Lanesaid calmly: "Did you bring the
inktog-pad as I requested. Inspector?"
Thumm struggled to his feet, andwhite he grasped the man's nerveless hand and proceeded to press
It on the pad. Lane picked up fromhis seat the discarded topcoat,searched one of the pockets, andbrought forth the consular manilaenvelope. Thumm handed Lane thewet impression of the conductor'sfingertips. Lane held the paper sideby side with the photographicprints, cocking his head critically.Then he returned the wet impression to the Inspector, together withthe photograph."What would you say. Inspector?You've compared thousands ofthese, no doubt"Thumm scanned them carefully."They IqOk the same to me.'* hemuttered.Bruno faltered to his feet "Mr.Lane, who—what—?”Lane grasped the arm of themanacled man in a not unfriendlymanner. *'Mr. Bruno.

It was not untl) after his convictionand imprisonment that he regainedhis normal faculties. From thatmoment his thoughts were divertedto revenge. By the time of his escape, close confinement had takentoil of his features, although hisbody was as.strong as ever, and hefelt reasonably certain he would notbe recognized by his intended victims,
“These tilings. however,” concluded Bruno, "aren't nearly so important now—to me, at least—asyour uncanny solution?”
"In the street car murder oneinference stood out at once," saidLane, "and I cannot comprehendhow it escaped the intelligence ofboth of you. The nature of the
weapon was such as to make it apparent that it could not be handled
with the bare band without fatal results to the handler. I felt certain,
then, that when the murderer slippedthe needled cork into Longstreet’spocket, be must have worn a glove.Now we knew the cork was dropped
in the pocket after Longstreet
boarded the car. Please recall, inspector, that I specifically asked youat the termination of your recitalwhether gloves, among other things,
bad been found; and you replied inthe negative. So, although the mur
derer was still in the street car.there-was the peculiar situation ofan object, which must have beenused in the commission of thecrime, not being found after thecrime. It could not have beenused in the commission of the crime,not being found after the crime. Itcould not have been thrown out ofa window; no window was openteam a period even prior tothe boarding of the Longstreetparty. It could not have beenthrown through a door, becauseDuffy opened and closed the doorson the only occasions when theywere used. If the glove could nothave’ been thrown out of the car,and yet it left the car. it could havedeme so only on the person of someone. But only one person left thecar! That was the conductor.

•“So I was forced to conclude—wild, as it seemed—that Wood hadtaken Ute glove from the scene ofthe crime and disposed of it somewhere. That reasoning made himeither the murderer or an accomplice. Naturally, he could not haveanticipated being granted the op-portunity to leave the car and dispose of the glove. So be must haveaccepted the possibility of havingthe glove found on him if there werea search and be bad bad no opportunity to throw it away. But as a
conductor. handling money all day
ten*, he knew a glove on tu* personwould not excite suspicion.
(TOtKCONTUWtD)
MAJORITY AND MINORITY
It is a salient fact in well-inform
ed circles along Parliament Hill that,
ever since the people of Canada and
their representatives have spoken
overwhelmingly in favour of releas
ing the Federal Government from
any obligations arising out of past
commitments restricting the means
of raising men for overseas service,
it has served to stimulate tense polit
ical activities in the nation's capital
rather than to settle the ingenuity
of political designers at a most inop
portune time,
News of such activities may tend
to develop the idea in the mind of
the man-in-the-street throughout
Canada that the wagon of our war
effort is hitched to several horses,
I each pulling in a different direction,
where perhaps even the drivers do
not know which road to take, but
Uiis impartial observer must report
that this is not true in face of the
latest political developments and
backstage on Parliament Hill a con
trary view seems to prevail, with a
greater degree of basic unity exist
ing than may appear on the sur
face.
The people of Canada have spoken
and the responsible leaders realise
ond recognize what the great major
ity of the masses want them to do.
The total vote cast in the plebiscite
left no douty, whatsoever on this
point. Ontario voted 84 per cent
in favour of all-out action, Prince
Edward Island came next with 83
per cent; Manitoba had 81 per cent;
British Columbia did it with 80 per
cent; Nova Scotia had 79 per cent;| Saskatchewan and Alberta were
bracketed Whether with 73 per cent;
New Brunswick gave approval with
71 per cent; Yukon had 68 per cent.
The only exception was the Province
of Quebec with only 28 per cent.
As a result, some startling develop
ments have taken place and more
may come soon. Nevertheless, the
important thing to bear in mind
for the man-in-the-street through
out this country is that much mis-
understanding or distortion of the
truth about the actions or attitudes
of responsible French-Canadian
leaders have followed this reaction
in Quebec, particularly because this
may mislead or may strike a wrong
note in the harmony of their fellow
citizens in the other provinces at a
time when wisdom and commonsense
ore most essential.
Markedly free from any trace of
party politics or partisan appeals,
every French Canadian Minister in
the Federal Government tried to
carefully reason and to logically
present the case for the removal
of restrictions of the Government’s
past commitments on overseas mill-
tary service in tune with the wishes
cf the great majority of the Cana
dian people. They were guided
by the principles contained in the
words of their late leader, Rt Hon.
Ernest Lapointe, ,who made an his
toric statement in Ottawa only a
short time before his sudden death.
“Above all, let us co-operate, get to
gether, keep together, remain unit
ed, trust one another, preserve our
fine union,” he said. "When his
country calls for it,” continued the
late Rt. Hon. Ernest Lapointe, "a
good citizen must assume his respon
sibilities, even at the cost of discard
ing personal views,” Even French-
Canadian leaders in the purely prov
incial field came forth enthusiasti
cally with similar pleas. Premier
Adeiard Godbout of Quebec issued
a strong warning to his compatriots.“Let the people of Quebec think
well before they refuse Premier
Mackenzie King's reqeust,” stated
Premier Godbout. Indeed, every
responsible French-Osnadian leader' directed the same pleas.
White every effort ha« Seen made

over this attitude in the Province of
Quebec, yet many French-Canadian
leaders along Parliament Hill have
not made a good Job in concealing
♦heir own grave concern over this
turn of events because these lead
ers sought, desperately to clarify
♦he present war situation to their
compatriots, to stress the danger, and
to remove the deeply imbedded old
beliefs, prejudices, or misunder
standings. Still these responsible
leaders of French-Canada failed to
.tccomplish their objective, and in
stead local agitators, particularly
in rural districts, managed to sway
a large percentage of the masses and
to lead them astray by using mainly
appeals to old prejudices or by re
viving old misunderstandings.
The pleas of the responsible lead
ers were without effect on our fel
low French-Canadian citizen*. Why?
Is there any explanation why the
French-Canadiane refused to fol
low their responsible leaders where
as in the past they had always shown
a definite and clear tendency to do
%o?
This veteran observer must state
that behind the acenes on Parlia
ment Hill it ia held in well-informed
circle* that there are two reasons.
First, the sudden death of their most
trusted, most influential, and most
beloved leader, the late Rt. Hon.
Ernest Lapointe, without anyone
being able to replace him in the
favour of the great masses, was a
definite and strong contributing
factor. Second, the educational
campaign on this war issue was
started far too late because it is
absolutely impossible to uproot and
to change deeply embedded beliefs
and misunderstandings in such a
short campaign. In fact, whereas
only four weeks before the plebis
cite statistics showed less than a 25
per cent affirmative vote m the
Province, yet the final results
brought forth a more than 28 per
cent affirmative vote, with some
45,000 more votes for the plebiscite.
In other word*, a stronger political
leadership and a longer educational
campaign would easily and certain
ly have changed greatly the actual
percentage results in that old province.
Therefore, those Canadians who
are careless to spread at this time
stories of disunion, political passion*,
or prejudices about respooaibls
French-Canadian leaders must un
derstand the condition* under which
taese French-Canadian leaders have
to work in Ottawa. They must un
derstand that thee* are actual eoa~ I
ditions, not theories They must
understand that the complete merg
ing of millions of people of two
races speaking two different lang
uages into one people of common
sentiment and aspirations, common
purposes and loyalty, and common
confidence and interest in a united
war effort, can be accomplished only
by great patience, great diplomacy,
and great tact of the highest possible
crdcr. They must understand that,
under democratic government and
undor a system of representation by
population, Frcnch-Canadians ro not
represent a small and decreasing
fraction of the people, but, due to
the fecundity of the race and the
constantly growing population, they
are of sufficient numbers to earn
a rising claim to recognition in pub
lic afairs, with the remark that
whereas about fifty^ears ago only
54 out ot 215 members of Parlia
ment were French-Canadian yet to
day this number is much larger in
proportion out of the 245 members.
Moreover while in the last fifty
years French Canadians had gained
12 seats, yet even with this increase
they had only a 26 per cent represen
tation in Parliament at a time when
they were 30 per cent of the popula
tion, bearing in mind that this
country is governed on the basis
of representation by population.
Under these circumstances, the
man-in-the-street throughout Can
ada eannot afford to ignore these
fact* about the situation of the re
sponsible French-Canadian leaden
along Parliament Hill.

1,200,000,000 ButtonsAbout 1,200 million buttons moulded from plastic jnaterials are wan
ted for the “utility" suits designed
for war-time wear in Britain.
Before the war most of Britain’s
buttons were of vegetable ivory.
Now the bulk of them are moulded
from the by-products of coal. Al
though not popular before the war,
"‘these plastics buttons are much pre-
ferrd to-day for they do not break
in the mangle and they retain their
finish indefinitely. For thousers they
are better than tin buttons because
they have no sharp edge to cut the
thread.
One factory where the utility but
tons are being made is at present
producing them at the rate of some
thing like 100,000,000 buttons a
year. By the end of this year their
rate will be in the neighbourhood
of 300 millions; and this tripled out
put will be secured with a staff of
only 200 workpeople.
One machine recently installed
turns out 5,700 waistcoat buttons
an hour, while battledrcss buttons,
36 of which are required on each
suit, can be madp -at the rate of
2,880 an hour. In two months* time
this one factory will be producing
864,000 battledress buttons a week-
enough for 24,000 soldiers.
Soon the brass buttons of the
•.Army and Royal Air Force will also
be replaced with moulded buttons
to save valuable supplies of brass
and copper not to mention time in
cleaning.
OLD BARRAGE BALLOONS
The straw in the thousands of
palliasses on which the British
Army sleeps is now regularly turn
ed into paper as fresh straw takds
Its place. In the old days the straw
would just be burned. To-day it is
laid out to air thoroughly, then
packed up in bales and sent off tothe paper mills.
Jute from tattered sand bags goes|n from the Army Salvage depots
go the paper makers too. ’ There isRot much that the depots do not
collect Every week one of them
alone handles 500 tons of iron,
stel, aluminum and tin. It sorts out
empty bottles and sends them back
to the brewers, the distillers and
the wine merchants. Thousands of
old batteries arc’ returned, to the
makers that the carbon may be re
claimed.
Old barrage balloons become
strips of rubber sheeting made
into watertight covers for tanks
shipped overseas. Cotton reels sentin by the Women’s Voluntary Services and the Girl Guides are used bythe Royal Engineers for cable restsin laying temporary telephone andtelegraph lines. More than 15,000cf them have come along.Last year this one depot collected859 tons of Army paper for salvage
and sold it at £5 a ton; in all the
Army got £100,000 for its salvage
in a year and passed the money on
to war funds.
RAINBOW KHAKI
Five bright hued wools are now
blended together to produce the
earthy colour of khaki first widely
used in South Africa for the: uniforms of the British Army. /
In peace time the process was a
secret belonging to the West Riding
of Yorkshire where the heavy wool
len industry first discovered bow to
blend wools of six colours into
khaki thread. But to-day the West
Riding shares its secret with all
other wool spinning areas in the
United Kingdom so that the whole
industry can go ahead with the col
ossal job of putting the troops into
uniform.
The blending is now standardised
and the number of colours reduced
by one. The correct proportions of
blue, yellow, brown, red and mauve
wools are torn up by huge combs
which separate, mix and bletM them.
Gradually each colour begins to
lose its identity, just as the colours
on a spinning top will merge into a
misty grey. At first the mass of
clawed wool is patchy—bluish here,
yellowish there—and then, as the
machines complete' the job, the col
ours ibecome so well blended that
khaki finally emerges from the fain-
bow of colour.
This blending process gives ancvener and more lastin^result than
dyeing the cloth in the piece as was
done in the early days. In the war
of 1914-18 the difficulties of re
placing dyes formerly imported from
Germany produced colours which
varied in different parts of the
country from almost grass green to
dark brown. To-day colour charts
and Ministry of Supply specifica-
mns result in every mill weaving
exactly the same shade and each
piece of khaki cloth is carefully in
spected before being passed out.
NEW TYRES OF STEEL
Thirty thousand farm vehicles
wanted by British farmers for this
year’s harvest, will be delivered to
time, thanks to two new’ standard
wheel patterns.
were faced with two shortages—ma
te: ials for making pneumatic tyres,
for tractor trailers and tumbrils,
and of seasoned timber and skilled
wheelwright labour for making theold-fashioned wooden cart wheel..The first of these problems hadarisen long before the loss of rubber producing territories in theEast, for war work of greater priority had already made it difficult toget moulds and presses for tyremaking. So the engineers have evol
ved an all steel wheel 3 ft in diam
eter with a minimum tyre width of
6 in. To absorb the shock formerly
taken by the pneumatic tyre there
are two coil springs between the
axle bed and the cart kept m line
by a sliding pin in grooves. The 3 ft
wheel can be turned out in as many
months as it took years for the
older types
A road test, with two tons over
a 7 mile trip, at 10 and then 15
m.p.h., proved the rubberleas .trail
ers .to be quite as good as those
with pneumatic tyres.
The British Agricultural Engin
eers’ As&ciation have giveh to the
world the design for the new 3 ft.
wheel and one for a. 4 ft. 6 inch
steel wheel for farm carts free of
all patent and license rights.
