CANADIANS generally will be gratified at lithe success whichj is being attained by ithe Hebridean . settlers who arrived in this country from Scotland last kay to settle in Albirta. Considerable publicity was given to their ^ijeriences at that time, when they were ^Tijaithe throes of accommodating themselves to a hew set of conditions, and the rapidity with which they are achieving success is a tribute to their industry and enterprise. The greater number are settled on farms that were in the possession of the Soldier Settlement Board for re-sale. „ Great care was taken in the choice of their farms, and there is little doubt"- that those who have acquired these farms on the equitable terms offered by the board are going to prosper, and in a few years will be on a satisfactory and 'independent' fooffiigr. , |"; Before the advent of the Hebrideans:::^'cop^; siderabj^Jtiumber of farms had been reported upon and weret';0(rasidered suitable for a begin- N ning in settlement, but immediately on their , arrival attention had been drawn to some big 1 Vi&twjhes that might be cut up and divided among /-tK^e^bibys who might thus find themselves in a colony, a form of settlement that they seemed to favor;- - Two weeks were spent in negotiations for these ranches with no result but in the meantime attention was -directed to the farms controlled by the Soldier Settlement Board, and it was speedily seen that these were much better and offend;' better terms and opportunities than those reported on several months before.

DURING "tl&.wfeeks when the Hebrideans were at Red Deer the men had every opportunity to be busy . to their own advantage. ..-■ An officer of the Soldier Settlement Board was on hand all-the time taking them to the fields and showing them how to harness horses the' Canadian way, explained four horse hitch, taught them to drive wagons,—they having been accustomed to the one horse cart, except the drivers of general service wagons in the army,— and they all had their turn plowing with a "gang plow, so that time was not wasted, and were it not for a certain nervousness and anxiety as to their prospects of settlement natural under the circumstances to men with large families- hi ay- strange land, they had a good time at Red Deer, and now their letters speak eloquently of their gratitude for what was done for them. Some of them maintain that were it not for home-sickness which they "took" badly and did not then know it, they had a splendid time at Red Deer, and now look upon it as their common home and centre in Canada. When, as above stated, it was realized that the ranches could not be acquired an immediate move was made to acquire the best of the farms the energy with which they are now! urging that means be taken to get out their par^r^ in some controlled "by. the Soldier Settleri-eiit Board.

They are in three principal groups, viz,—west of Red Deer, north of Edmonton and east of Camrose, all three localities excellent from a farming standpoint. They each have 160 acres of land and they average from 40 to 60 acres cultivated. Many went on to farms that had already been.';BieJided and they get a third of the wheat crop. They in some cases had time to sow oats for green feed, and some potatoes and vegetables. That the Hebridean settlers in Alberta*, afe General view of the buildings, Ard-Moire, Red Deer, Alta., whei housed pending settlement. .'jtheZHebrideans were now contented and satisfied is best proved by cases, their brothers, theft; nearest relatives and the friends in whom they are interested. Already there is a list being drawn up of such relatives. One man thus put it: "Tell them when you get back that the hard working man who is not making a success of it should come here at once and he will make a success of it, and the man who is successful there and making it go will make a bigger success here: yi^et, I them all to come." "I was too long in coming," said one of the settlers recently. "I should have been here long ago. Tell my brother "a uchd De e 'thighinn" (for tho lo^e^bjte^pto come. His wife added, j^fe§)p^!had been here six yearsj^'go we were independent to-day." The men who ate on their farms are to- Mi^P^ltproughly satisfied with. ,ffieir lot and looking forward with confidence to a prosperous . future. .JiS^^S • The fifty families who, .crossed by the "Mar- loch" and :tiu&&rwho joined them here (some of last year's fyjkrty) made tij$<ar party of some 340 souls. They are a fine sturdy upright race, honest and determined' of purpose, shy, until they are 'better acquent' and of high moral character. They are thd|o^%hly religious, and have the Scotsman's keenness about the proper education of the children. When examining a farm the first question always was—Where is the school? How far are we from church? They are doing well, I'Vety well) by themselves in coming to Canada. They are an ac- quisiti'on to Canada, and they will in the future uphold the best traditions of the race in this ^c'ottsStry'.for they possess in its best and highest degree the perferidum ingenium Scotorum.

I am well aware that the subject is very broad and deep; but I should like, if I could, to calfjh' and interpret something of the charm of this great metropolis. ' Few there are, even among those who have never visited London, but will admit that the term charm may be fittingly applied. The late Sir Robertson Nicoll was much addicted to the phrase "the magic of London." And an ever- increasing experience of the great city more and more confirms me in the justifiability of Sir Robertson's description. Even when I came to London for the first time my feelings were entirely free from the loneliness and homesickness which we are prone fo associate with one's arrival for the first time in a great and tumultu7 ous city. I know not why it was, but I felt 9(S if I were coming home, drawing my fchair up to the imperial fireside, and nestling .close to the very heart of the world. This is the more remarkable when one. considers the almost, inconceivable vastnefs of the place. When one reflects that if all the cites of Canada were to be fijirown together, all the towns and villages, and the number then to be swelled by taking every farmer from his plow, every fisherman from his nats, every miner from his dark abode, every woodsman from his craft, and every Chinaman, from his tub, the swelling total would still be less than a million more than .the population of the World's greatest city. It is commonly stated that there are more Scotchmen in London than in Edinburgh, more Jews than in Warsaw, more Catholics than in ''RpmeiS Tne streets number thirty^^rthousahd.; and would,a|/iplaced.end on end, take one over the Atlantic, 'across the American continent, and then five thousand miles by way of the Pacific. London policemen with their families would alone form a city about the size^fe'London in the Bush," as her namesake in western Ontario is often i'rreverentl^called. But it is n^fcfos- size of London that constitutes its charmT^^Kb*^ cities, of only less vast proportions, do not ap- ; pear to have any of her separate majesty. I am not unmindful of: Paris, and p^j^ps must be- ioofopiiled to admit that, for our American cousins that great city has a fascination even beyond that of London. The pastor of the American church in Paris once told me, previous to the war, that by careful j computation it was established that no fewer ' than fifty thousand Americans slept in Paris every ni^St when the season was at its peak. And it probably must also be conceded that from the standpoint of the ^Ust|fe; 'Paris Is the premier city of the world. NEITHER London nor New York can boast any such wonderful square as the Place de la Concorde. The Champs d'Elysees, too, is undoubtedly the finest- thoroughfare in the world. Add to this the wonderful wealth of statuary, the symmetrical ^ov^e^^ppc^ite to each other, of noble buildings, the illimitable parks and gardens, the echoing mirth"j$i)#,song and revelry everywhere, and you have a clu§tej.j! of: attractions not to be found in any other great centre of the globe. But Paris lacks the sombre dignity and the solidity that old 'London suggests. The very stamp of eternity, the historical majesty, and the whole atmosphere of strength and reality, are so characteristiciix^phe. old city on the Tha^^.r/f-,KtfCi%OiJrejiyof Paris is a high staccato or a gay soprano; that of London, on the other hand, l%>!;f"deep and noble bass. Nor is New York to be overloo^e'l,, that worn der city-of the west. Not yet so large as London —but Jier youth is to be considered in casting up the relative acco&nts. It is a striking reflec-" tion that thei^ i£e*men still living who knew New York City A^jjien its population was no larger than that of Brantford is to-day^ '^nd^ one must admit that, with all the imperfections which go with comparatively callow youth, the western metropbiisjlsfa'great and noble city. In some respects it is ahead of London. In the matter of hotels, for instance, it far outruns Its British colleague". Its system of transit, too, is probably superior. Unrivaled, a|lso, although London has never entered on this 4-ace, are New York's great buildings, coinmonly inown as skyscrapers. jpa^s^SLYt^d pride and glory to her, and a triumjjhfof human skill and scienc'e^let the contemptuous English say what they may. But she has none of the subtle atmosphere, the historical interest, the classic charm, that characterize London; nor has she the jollity of spirit and the kindliness of attitude and the wflVjaigh^ universal bonhomie that softens and defines life in-this teeming Babylon. There is neither time nor space to give any detailed description of the. various attractions of London. To my mind one of the most delight: 1 -'i&iatiiings of this great city is her illimitable ;',vQb,|ftss6aces, her parks and gardens. As an illustration of this I may state that every fine day I walk from my apartment to the Authors' Club: away down near the parliament buildings. My .apartment is in Kensington, W., not far from ""the* Albert Hall, and the distance I have to traverse is in the neighborhood of four miles. This takes me usually about one hour and five minutes;/and the wonderful thing whj^h'I am now about to relj*te is this; that less than five* minutes of those sixty-five is consumed in walking anywhere else expect in the most lovely parks. STRAIGEf^away through these spreading gardens I walk for a little over an hour, -first through Kensington Gardens, which open into Hyde Park; then across this great playground and through the historical palaces of the great, passing close by the residence of the Duke 'of Connaught, Queen Alexandra, the- Prince of Wales, and just to my right the home of King George himself. Then across one more street and you are into SfeJames' Park, emerging therefrom at White hall, within fifty yards ■ of where a tablet commemorates the execution —or the martyrdom—of a Stuart king, and in one minute more'I am within the precincts of my club. It were difficult to overstate the delight of a morning's walk in the clear autumn „s,unshine. Life in its various phases seems to be all about you. The most conspicuous phase, of course, is th§4nfant phaseiaiFhe perambulators, with their more or less vocal tenants, and for the most part pushed along by liveried nurses, are to be seen on every hand. Elaborate covered cars whirl their endowed and titled owners from road to road. Lovers whispering .in gentle tones; studious youths immersed in books; decrepit age sunk in meditation; poverty stricken and gloomy men, staring vacantly out or timidly . consuming some hard-begged lunch, are to be seen on the benches everywhere. Unhappy men, sick with the unavailing search for work, lie despondent on the grass—and all around them are to be seen the happier children of wealth and rank, perched on noble horses, escorted by elaborately garbed grooms as- • they §anter Typical Hebrideans Who Are Succeeding ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, whose farm home- at Westlock, Alta., is shown in the above layout, came from Kildonan, South Uist. Ha is a good farmer, industrious, capable, as Is ;ri&VQyen. by the fact*that he has 35 acres broken, eight acres in crop, four cows, o^,e.T^fea^g,'r of horses, two sows,, sixteen chickens and farm machinery. He has an energetic wife who has already made inroaof|;i;iatt.the bush and has helped him clear more land. Another^man frpmSSouth Uist,' also shown above, Angus Maclntyre, has a neighboring farm which is.equally excellent, for he, too, is,industrious and will make a success. He has 55 acres under cultivation and in crop and five acres broken ■t|ti»|cseason> f°ur cows, two horses, two sows, 20 chickens and machinery. Archibald MacLeod, the man shown in the potato field on his farm at Ohaton, has no less than 60 aCres in crop, two horses and machinery. He is a native of the island of Benhecula. He is a very fine type of settler, has a splendid family, and will make good. Alexander"Morrison, another. South Uist man, has been very lucky in his selection of a farm, which- is situated on the Battle river east of Wetaskiwin. • He is close to an Indian reserve and finds the red men useful neighbors^ He had 75 acres under crop this year and had bumper returns. In,addition he has two horses, two cows, two pigs and;machinery. Roland MacPhee has 25 acres in crop. Hugh McPhee, on almost the next farm in Ohaton, has broken forty acres. He is an all-round handy man,who came to Canada with, his aged mother and sister. All aire delighted';i^&i.western farming.

But he had the land hunger of the Hebridean. He and his family will sj||efyv'succeed. As wilf"Donald MacPherson at Ohaton, where he stafted farming with three little daughters. His wife^ and four other children are just now leaving their old home at £>outh Uist to join him. With such a band of helpers he is bound to succeed. blithely by. Five mornings 'out of seven you will hear the band of the Coldstream Guards, or some' other equally distinguished 'cluster of musicians, toss their melody to and- fro amid the stately trees or over the placid Waters of the Serpentine or other lakes that art and nature have combined to contribute to this lovely scene. Suppose you had a guest coming to London'; who had but a day to spend, never to return! What would you do with him, if you wished to furnish his memory with the best of London in that precious single day? Well, I will tell you how I would put him through his facings. First, I would get him up very early in the morning. I would take him to the most crowded spot on all the globj^f&nd stand him between the Mansion House and the Bank of England, to witness ■ the human tidal-waves rolling about on every ! Mndl^a^^n' I would rush him: from there to St. Paul's Cathedral, the noblest temple to my mind in all the Christian world. Then I should take-him down Ludgate hill and;*i^iFieet street to the "Cheshire Cheese," permitting him to sit a moment in old Sami^el Johnson's ehair, while he snatched a cup of coffee. Then out and along the Strand to Trafalgar Square, snatching a. moment to gaze upward at the mighty column which commemorates the name of England's greatest hero. Then through "Admiralty Arch and up the-Mall, the most wonderful .street of its kind in the wp4jifi;<^#?^inS1:lam Palace. (I should not take him in.) THEN around to the left and along Victoria street to Westminster Abbey, stately guardian of.its stately dead. This done,! would rush( him across the way to the Houses of Parlia-' ment, sparing all the time one reasonably could in the thousand-year-old;:£(Westminster Hall, where barons banqueted in the brave days of/old and where Charles I. heard his dreadful'doon}- y&ter'this I should engage the swiftest taxi .and whisk him to the Crystal Palace, just to see the ■ Surrey side of London and to behold the wonder of that great recreational centre. Were the organ playing, I should retain him there two minutes longer. Then we should hurry by way of Piccadilly Circus, another of the great centres . of the world, to the British Museum, and linger amid its glories an hour or two. From there I would hurry back to the Trocadero for lunch,, the greate?^eating house of the world; and, scorning the. after dinner coffee, should hasten to the National Art Gallery and walk rapidly ' through its immortal halls^ From there we should ascend Regent stf|!e|; - traverse Oxford street, look in at Hyde Park, and immediately after take the Underground railway, ninety or ■ one hundred feet be|o^v the surface, for Regent's Park and the Zoological Gardens. This done, we would hurry on to Hampstead Heath, have a cup of tea at Jack Straw's Castle, another cupat . the "Old Bull and Bush," both inns famous for Dick Turpin and much else besides from the days of Elizabeth to those of Dickens and onward to this present date. Then I should stand him. on the highest hill of that great playground and bid him behold London at his feet and the mighty dome of St. Paul's bathed in the glory of the early evening sun. But by this time I would' painfully recall that one of the great attractions had been overlooked, and should frantically set out with him to the Tower of London, taking him this time by way of Holborn .and. Cheapside. This done, :and the evening gathe'red|»ip)w, I should take him to dinner—but at h}s own expense—at the Ritz Hotel, just that w# both might see England's hostelry lifeS^t its best. . Then I think I should convoy him again to the precincts of Hyde Park, and let him listen to^the myriad- mouthed orators, lay, clerical, scientific, psychological socialistic, religious, pugilistic, t&uoc'.. gather their respective throngs through all that ^echoing area. Then, the night now drawing late, to the* top of Bus 39 and off for Stepney, Bethnal Green and Whitechapel, and all through that vast and wretched jungle, where so many thousands of men, women and children writhe about in sin and shame and poverty and despair. Then I think my one-day tourist would have seen something of everything in London—which means, of everything in the world. ■ .'./ff;'1. tip THE TOEONTO'STAE WEEKLY, SlTUEDlY, NOVEMBER 3, 1923. C.P.R.'s First Freight Was Buffalo Bones f Road Ran Through Desert of Grinning Sklills — r sit" . m$MiM\ ili 1 Jl'sfeliS I Mr. D. B. Hanna Also Reminds 1 V Us That Railroading in \ Canada is a Much More S ^E Moral Business Than It j Was Forty Years Ago, When 'Scalping' and Other Queer Practices Were up Vogue. AS TOLD BY D. B. HANNA TO\ARTHUR HAWKES i W.HElt the Canadian Pacific Railway was built across the prairies there was no railway for a hundred miles south of parallel forty-nine. Red river carts, canoes and dog-sleds furnished all the -transportation between it and the North Pole. Van Home earned his first freight revenue from the Saskatchewan plains by shipping buffalo bones to fertilizer manufacturers. When he stopped at.construction camps he would draw pictures on buffalo skulls for the men's amusement in the evening. To build a railway across empty plains and over mountain ranges was regarded as unmitigable folly by many people who believed themselves to be far-seeing. While it was being done the state of eastern Canada was not very encouraging. Half of the settled farm lands of Ontario was in bush, farmers received little or nothing for their produce. The cities were small. Manufacturing was in a sickly, uncertain infancy. In average years the country was importing something more than a hundred million dollars' worth of goods and exporting something less. The interest -on _ borrowed money, therefore, was being paid with more borrowed money. The revenue of the dominion was about thirty million dollars. You could get good board in Montreal or Toronto for four dollars a week, and very good for six. Everybody was poor. There isn't the same sort of plenty in Canada that there was forty years ago—I mean as to ,-eats and drinks, the cost of fuel and the simplicity of fun. But, on the whole, things are vastly better than they were. Those who discover a moral declension in the people are sorely mistaken I am concerned with railway affairs* and am not delivering lectures on the history of Canadian morals. The railroad ethics of today are very much ahead of the railway ethics of forty years ago—no mistake about that. That -is true whether you compare railway standards with railway standards, or look cursorily over the field of commercial and social relationships. One wouldn't say that saintliness distinguishes the railway business more than it does any other. Indeed, it is commonly supposed that there -is more freedom, running into license, of speech among knights of the rail than there is in any other walk of lifie—printing might have been „,.fixcet>ted forty ye^s ag^. And, of course*- it is Tmlll supposed by' many otherwise excellent people that of all corporations a railway corporation most assuredly has neither body to be kicked nor soul to be damned. Railwaymen are not a perfectionist crowd. We never set ourselves up for paragons. But take them by and large, railwaymen are as worthy a segment of society as any other body of men, and that in the last forty years there has been at least as notable a progression in the standards of railway behavior as in other fields of human activity, including the ministry. , HEAVEN knows there was room for improvement—not in the men, but in the standards which were considered appropriate to a business which was always weirdly competitive, was sometimes wonderfully prosperous; and at other times was woefully depressed. There is a changing orthodoxy in commerce as there is in religion and politics; and-the railway business is no exception to the rule. The change has been -steadily for the better. Of this it will be easy to-convince the elder, as I hope it will not be impossible to inform the younger readers of these few lines. „ How far we have traveled, how many have been the revolutions in commercial morality withitt'the memory of people now living, can be indicated by a few facts. Last week I mentioned a lady in England living who has given sixty-five descendants to Canada. She was eight years old when slavery became illegal in the British dominions. She was sixteen years old when, under the Ashburton treaty which gave to the United States territory that ought to have been part of Canada, the United States and Britain agreed to maintain squadrons off the coast of Africa to prevent further shipment of slaves to the New World. Scores of thousands of the present citizens of the United States were born as slaves. When I came to ~ Montreal the American Civil War which freed the slaves wasn't as far back as the Boer War is now. The lady of whom I have spoken was six years old when the reform bill put an end to the system of rotten boroughs in the British Isles, which we still regard as having in all past centuries been in the forefront of moral and political progress. The political corruption of those times, so nauseating when we read about'it, was regarded as a matter of course by men and women who were godliest among the good. Now- - adays, when we are shocked by stories of buying votes in elections, we sometimes forget the recency of the society from which that form of bribery descends. Things in matters of finance which are reprehensible to-day were respectable not so long ago—in all walks of life. One mentions these things in a railway reposed that in their practices of several decades ago some railway administrations were sinners above all other sinners. They practised the orthodoxies of their times, and were neither - better nor worse than the practitioners of orthodoxy in a hundred ranges of human activity. It may seem a queer question to young people —What would you think, supposing you wanted to go to Chicago on~the Canadian National Rail- waysr-the Grand Trunk, if you prefer the name -r-and, instead of going into the railway office at King and Yonge, and paying,''say, sixteen dollars for the ticket, you slipped into a private ticket office up street, and bought your ticket'for ten dollars? Or, supposing you were going to San Francisco, instead of buying a through ticket to your destination at the Canadian National or brought. The company labeled its cars and went out after business. It charged the shipper the same rates as the railways did, but promised ^him more fopid delivery. The railways gave preference to the so-called fast freight, though they got less.revenue from it pound for pound than they rejiMved from the freight they pushed aside for it. The complications that arose from this favoring of fast freight companies were many and were often amusing. On the Grand Trunk I was soon told off for special auditing, and in 1884 was sent -.with a colleague to Detroit to audit the books of an agent of a fast freight line who had received more money than he accounted for, because of the system of collecting payment froni shippers. Incidentally, straightening out the tangle led to my going into railway service across the line,-and almost made an American est me. Of those ^turns in fortune's wheel it will be more convenient to speak another day. 1 ..(To be continued.) Rich, New Radium Field May Be Boon to Humanity Found in Turkestan, Will Be Distributed at Cost This Does Not Me'am There Will Be Radium on Call for Everyone Without Cost, But It Will Make It-Far More Easily Available—Plan ■" . of Foyr New York Philanthropists When he stopped at construction camps Van Home would draw pictures on buffalo skulls for the m«n* . .

Canadian ^Pacific office downtown, or, at the Union Station, you bought a ticket only for Chicago, at the little office up the street, anda then, at Chicago, bought another for the rest of the journey from another privately-conducted office, and saved perhaps twenty-five dollars by doing that insteajd of buying your ticket at the railway office in Chicago? In 1923 it sounds very odd to mention such possibilities to men and women of thirty years of age who suppose they really know something' of travel and the world's ways. But to older people the suggestion has all the familiarity of reminiscence—it recalls the age of scalping irf \ was good, and using them when business was not so good. In a way, it was as if a storekeeper neglected to-count the accumulations in his till, and then reckoned his count for the day when it was made. The scalping practice made this manner of reporting receipts inevitable. For instance, a big block of tickets was sold outright to a scalper—it might be at fifty, sixty or seventy per cent, of the rate charged at the railway's own counter. He paid for them. When they came back to head office there was nothing to differentiate the tickets sold to the scalpers and the tickets sold to the public. The conductor couldn't tell when he lifted a ticket that had been bought tb give private favors really at the public expense. If a concern gave a large amount of traffic, it got a better rate than its smaller' competitor. $"hat notion of the proprieties opened the door to the fast freight line, which wasn't a railway at all, but an inside track which had no honest business to be there. A group of men who happened to be high-up railway officials organized a company called, say, the Minnehaha Fast Freight Line. The company A DESPATCH from Petrograd reporting that. a Russian government expedition had found what is belieVed to be the largest and richest deposit of radium in the world has brought forth the announcement that four wealthy New Yorkers are planning to establish a distribution system for. the United States whereby radium will be put at ,the disposal of physicians and hospitals at cost price. The Turkestan deposit will be the source of supply if arrangements can be made, according to Dr. Field. The use of radium as a curative agent for the alleviation of pain, especially in the treatment of cancer, has been growing steadily, but the limitation of the supply has hampered rapid developments of this new branch of science. Although* radium was discovered by Professor and Mme. Curie in 1898, only three years after the discovery of the X-ray by Roentgen, its use has not developed so rapidly. This has been attributed, not only to the cost, which two yeari; ago was approximately at the rate of. $50^000,000 a pound, and is now almost three-quarters of that, but to the scarcity of deposits. The process of extraction and purification is expensive, the cost in American mines $85,0j)0 a gram, more than the price at which Belgium can sell her radium from the Congo—now the main source — on this side of the Atlantic. The world's manufactured supply was recently estimated at eight ounces, of which three and a half had been extracted in America, three ounces being; retained on this. continent. Only England has a greater quantity on hand. There is not enough for the treatment of one cancer case in twenty, according to Dr. Field. Belgian ore in the Congo is richer than the radium sources of the United States, but the Turkestan ore is-richer than the African, according to reports and analysis of samples, of which one is in the hands of Dr. Field. The Belgian output is bringing $70 a milligram, wholesale, in New York, but Dr. Field says that if the Russian negotiations are successful and if the Turkestan field fulfills its promise rafium will be put at the disposal of American science on a non-profit basis at half The project is not yet ready for annou.r|e&^££ in full detail, but will be soon, It has been under consideration for somo time. Thi"^'aaes not mean that there would be radium on call for everyone without charge. It means distribution without profit. The "central^aistributing point probably will be in New York. One gram of radium in equilibrium emits 143,000,000,000,000 alpha - particles a second and. 71,000,000,000,000 bela partfdl^S. It is tp.5fiirst disintegration product-—radium emanation—- which is brought into proximity to the diseased part in the usual medical treatment with special tubes, known as emanation tubes. One gram of radium element produces 100 cubic millimeters of radium emanation a day. Before the Congo supply came on the market the price of radium was $110,000 a gram, or Sj.IO a milligram. A gram in the metric system is the equivalent of 15 432-l,0OOths grains, and :jftejW are 5,760 grains in a pound troy. In a pound avoirdupois there are 7,000 grains. When radium was selling at $110 a miUigjla^it therefore was worth something like $50,000,000 a pound.

He had t<£fjirn it in as part of which were in full blast when I began to auditl/ his report. Say there were a thousand tickets accounts in the Grand Trunk head office a^*A^om Montreal to Chicago, and the regular rate *^^^as thirty dollars, ^ffitiXzgt. thirty thousand dollars. But the railway's cash receipts were only twenty thousand dollars, because of the' scalping. The proportion of scalped revenue, obviously, would vary from month to month. Adjustment was necessary; and in making ad- justments.iMis equally obvious that it would be a convenience to even up from a reserve in hand, or to put'':80ij£ of an exceptionally good run of receipts -ij||o; the reserve. For the benefit of the juvenile generation it may be added that scalping became so large and pervasive an adjunct to,transportation that its interests led' to orgahizatiohy so that, if you wanted a through ticket to' San Francisco, instead of taking your chances ot.making a good bargain at a scalper's between trains at Chicago, the scalper in Toronto would do all the needful business for you. He regarded himself as a broker, and to some he was a very present help in time of trouble. That he was not necessar*^— assuming proper relations between the railways and the public—is proved by his elimination, as soon as public control of railways developed. The anomaly of the fast freight line was another and more wonderful manifestation of the vicious principle which was behind the scalping. It also had its relation to two other transportation services which still exist, though they are not as liable to the same abuses that were inseparable from the fast freight lines—I mean the Pullman car and the express services. The express business to California was beting done by ponies, for instance, before there was railway communication across the mountains. When railways were built the express companies brought their business to them, using cars, and paying the railways^a percentage of receipts for^ the entire service. W$m$M Point Si Chai-h UNDERSTAND, what is now told about our railways is not to their discredit, except so far as it would-be to the discredit, for instance, of the Christian churches of to-day to remind them that it was not they who directly raised the tone of political morality, or abolished slavery. Canadian railway practice was like the railway practice of other countries—mainly the United States. The Grand Trunk, with its English management and English ideas, had some peculiarities of its own; but in the main its relation to scalping and fast freight lines was forced upon it by the prevailing conditions on the continent. Those conditions could only be finally improved by the intervention of public authority,' such as the Dominion Board of Railway Commissionerjs'^br the Inter-State Commerce Commission, both of which bodies may be only stages in the evolution towards the public ownership of all railways, which, theoretically at least (though practically it is not so easy of accomplishment), is as sound as the public ownership of the post- office, the navy or the geodetic survey. In the old days railways competed^against one another, and were virtually a law unto themselves. Tariffs were filed with governments; but they were as often honored in thp breach as in the observance. The principle of the member of parliament franking letters for himselfv his family, and his friends, which has been a hoary accompaniment of the honesties of parliamentary government, was in full operation in the railway field. Because you were next a railway you could get special privileges as naturally as you could get special privileges in the mails if you were of a M.P.'s family. In politics you got a place with much pay and no work if you were fortunately related to a minister. In business you got better rates than your competitor if you were more happily related to the management than he. }'3?j^**<<*!&'*'i$ It would be too devious a chase just now to ascertain exactly how the practice of scalping railway tickets came into vogue. At all events it was in vogue in Montreal and Toronto in the early eighties—as it was in the United States, its natural home. It was customary for railways to sell to scalpers quantities of tickets over their own systems at a reduced rate. The scalpers sold them to customers at a profit, which often depended on how the scalper sized up the customer when he came tp buy. ,The scalper also bought tickets from individuals—mostly the unused portions of return tickets. Return tickets were not as long-dated as 'they now are. You came. to Toronto from Chicago with a return ticket; and found you could not go back within the time limit. You sold that half of the ticket to the scalper for, say, two or three dollars, and he took his chance of selling it for, say, ten, to somebody who wanted a single. TELLING tnis to an astonished friend the other day, he at once asjied how so slnssuljar a method of doing business affected the audit offices. Well, as I wasn't: in a very responsible position at tne Grand Trunk, during the two and a half years I remained in Montreal; and moved thence to New York, in the spring of 1885, I do not profess to speak of how things were straightened out in Montreal; but, from knowledge gained, it can be said that there was a practice in many railways on this continent of putting aside earnings reserves when business r HE Pullman car service developed out of the railways. When trains did not afford the luxury of sleeping between sheets, Pullman came along, offered to furnish cars, and collect tolls, and pay the railways for hauling them. This method is just about as old as the Canadian Confederation. One of the most curious sidelights on the origin of what is regarded as an entirely American innovation is furnished by the story of the Prince of Wales' tour in Canada in 1S60. The first, car to carry sleeping accommodation was built at Brantford for the Prince of Wales' tour; and it was from it that Pullman got the ideas which he developed into the Pullman system. Pulman bujlt. his cars, charged the railways a rental for them, and himself took the special revenue earned by the sleeping accommodation. He obtained practically a monopoly on this continent, and the Grand Trunk remained like other roads, after the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian Northern owned and operated tn'eir own sleeping cars. The practice of farming out certain services was the fruit of conditions. It is virtually the same as was followed by Lord Northcliffe in many of his secondary publications in London. He farmed their advertising out to advertising, agents. The railways farmed out to express companies the swifter-than-freight carriage of goods; and to the Pullman Company the night comfort of passengers. But the fast freight line game was in a different category from these present-day services. It was regarded as legitimate business then; if a revival of it were attempted, it would be given another name. j It grew from the notion that it was all right 199 For true nourishment in delicious form FRY'S COCOA/is supreme.

Toronto mm SEE MOVIES FOR THE FIRST TIME Charlie Chaplin Gets Few Smiles at Aged Women's Home' F€!Q^FHAX MACHINE MIGHT EXPLODE Children at Shelter Also Se Charlie, for the First Time Through Progress Cjlftfn AS late as the month of September, 1923, there were normal citizens of Toronto living not more than five minutes walk away from the main str&4't05who had never seen a motion picture of the world famed comedian Charlie Chaplin. That discovery was followed by a second, which revealed the fact that there were citi2en|Aq£ Toronto who had never seen moving p'i$OT§eSF of any description. They were discovered in the Aged Women's Home, on Belmont street ana in the Children's Shelter on Simcoe street. . The discovery came about in this manner: The-members of the Canadian Progress Club, a group $fM<?ung busi - ness men who have banded themselves together for the purpose of advocating and assisting a more progressive Canada, learned that there were some institutions not far away which were not receivihj^butside entertainment except at'dlStantly measured ..intervals. Arrangements were made to take a small .moving picture machine to the Aged Women's Home and to display Charlie Chaplin at" the rink. "What's the matter madam? Are you ill?" one of the Canadian Progress Club members . enquired of an elderly lady as she hurriedly left her seat and made for the door as soon as the picture had started. "I've seen nice steady lantern slides; but I never saw the pictures running all over the place like that; and I'm not going to., have anything to do with machines that exploded" she replied hurriedly. She was one of a small group amid one hundred and twelve old; lai who reside there who had not seen moving pictures before. They were silent old ladies "-f.Oj^®^ most part at first. Other members of the Canadian Progress Club < covered" some who were muffling their laughter with their hands o their mouths. They Were fearful that a noise would spoil the* picture. Some twenty-eight of the audience were seing Charlie . for the first Thought Charlie Wicked^ f"T' HEY studied every move of the ■*• comedian and his screen associates. It was a unique opportunity to secure a wonderful photograph of facial expression and the Canadian Progress Club had arranged for a flashlight. The picture showed a repetition of studious thought. Very few were smiling,, but that they enjoyed the picture is evidenced from the speech of one- elderly lady. "I always' thought that Charlie Chaplin was a very wicked man," she stated, "but now that I have met him I think he is rather nice." The following evening the Canadian Progress | Club entertained the children of the Children's Aid So- SEEING THEIR nR^CW/fRLIE CHA When the Canadian Progress Club recently t arlie Chaplin picture, it was taken as a seri< 'ed.

These youngsters are looking at the same episode in the same picture at which the old ladiesfat the Aged Women's Home were looking when the accompanying photograph was taken. .-Their reactions to Charlie Chaplin, on a first acquaintance, are very different. Many in both grohps of Torontonians, young and elderly, had never before seen the famous comedian, and sfyiisg .had never seen movies at all. "Round-House" for Film-Smitten Girls Y.W.C.A.atHollywood Help- ing to Care for CrowdsZof Disappointed Ones A "ROUND-HOUSE" to care for and return film-smitten girls to their homes has been, established by the national board ot the T. W. C. A. at Hollywood, California, the nebula of drama from which stars, occasionally and only occasionally, are projected on to the silver screen, Hollywood, to change the simile, has become the mecca of thousands of girls whose only title to hope and ambition is a pretty face which they think will "screen" well, the incautious admiration of sonde friendly critics of neighborhood sociables, or a little facility in ama- feeur dramatics. They arrive only to find that most. positions are filled and that stars are p.ot made every day—or night. An announcement from the national board of the Y. W. C. A-, published in several papers, says that Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, has moved the organization to donate $120,000 to the project. In the same announcement it is stated, in the nature of a warning, that girls- without professional experience have almost no chance of getting into a studio today, though hundreds are reported to be so obsessed with their own possibilities as -to be quitting work and school and starting for Hollywood, seeking fame and a million, a year. Some are cautious enough to provide fare for the almost inevitable return home; others cast caution to the winds and arrive penniless—beachcombers on the strand 'of fame. Places are found for a few. On© girl became a hair-dresser, another a nurse girj for a noted actress. The Y. W. C. A. cannot save these girls from disappointment, says The Continent (Presbyterian), "but it can and dies save them from despair and ruin. But,, while it appreciates the necessity for helping the girls who are already stranded at Hollywood, The Presbyterian believes that instead of making provision for. this ciety, in -their Simcoe street home. It was the first picture entertainment they had seen in two years and a half. Think of that! ^In this _vast city, there were children who were strangers to the modern movie and Charlie Chaplin. The results of the flashlight photograph taken at the Aged Women's Home had offered such anj>ppor tun- ity for study that arrangements were made to photograph the children at the Shelter, so that, a permanent record might be secured of an adult and a juvenile audience, many bf- which were seeing a screen production of Charlie Chaplin for the first- time. The pictures were taken at approximately tl^e same episode in each picture. In- the second flashlight, taken at the Children's Shelter, the noise^was such that the discharge of the flash powder could not be heard above the joyous screams of the children. At the Boys' Home on George st., the Canadian Progress Club £ bers discovered three boys who had never, seen Charlie Chaplin previously to their recent visit. The reader may wonder why bus: men should take off hours of their precious spare time to spread a little happiness amongst those who are t so fortunate as the average citi- n. The Canadian Progress Club members claim that ,they enjoyed the jntertainment even more than those whom they went to entertain, and at recent meeting it was decided to extend this entertainment work as well as carry on the educational ork of the club to make better known among Canadians the men and things that have made for Canadian progress. * ■" •" I'.'' kind of thing, '.'it would be far wiser to send information all over our land, informing parents and girls and advising them against such foolish and worthless ambition and the exposure of their lives to defeat, if not ruin." It is urged: "Let. every girl be sent .home as soon as possible, and warning be sent out that no more are wanted. When a life of useful industry is thus supplanted by a life of artificiality, imitation*and indulgence, we can hope for nothing but breakdown and disaster for the rising genera tion.

A quite considerable sum of money has been spent in redecorating and rehabilitating the former Strand Theatre so as to render it a fit home for the FINEST AND BEST in the amusement world. Precedent has proven that the entertainment derived by a motion picture theatregoer is entirely commensurate with the CLASS AND QUALITY of the picture production. With this in view, the Management of the Piccadilly Theatre has secured for earty exhibition some of the greatest productions in the film world, which include the following: THE SIGN OF THE FOUR Stilly colossal English Super-Production of the best-known story of the great popular fiction hero, Sherlock Holmes.

A\tisic and A\t*slcians CLARA BUTlip BIGGEST MOMENT IN TORONTO Dr. Albert Ham Adds Details to Reminiscence of Singer's Most Thrilling Experience HOFMANN'S HAIR-CUT NEW YORK'S PLAYS AND PHOTOPLAYS Pachmann Recital Compared to 'Babe' Ruth Mixing Base- S^lfWith Quoits ' ' By ff|»f£v JAKEWAY IN last week's issue of The Star Weekly, reference was made to , Clara. Butt's assertion that the biggest moment in her 'career as a winger came to her in Toronto twenty-four years ago this month. The incident was recalled by the famous English contralto during her rece ■visit to this cSty. Khe ha«d given concert here and had been induced to remain and give another in a few tfays. In the meantime a . lecturer she recalls as "Mr. Parker" persuad I %S3\er to sing "God Save the Queen' (Victoria then reigned) at his patriotic lecture at Massey Hall. She did so. rising in her box as a picture of the Queen was shown. It was her first trip away frpm home. She was ismesome and she poured out her heart in the old song of Empire.yi.^P^e result was electrical. The audience, including a 'large body, of students, let loose their emotions, and a scene ensued which never faded from Claia Butt's memory. Dr. Albert Ham now adds some very interesting details to this miniscence. He says: "The lecturer on the occasion referred to by Madame Clara Butt was the late Sir George Parkin—then Dr. Parkin. The lecture was on "The •British Empire," and was a real y inspiring one. He dwelt particularly on the great part ; that; Canada would play in shaping the de'stiiiJes, of the empire. Clara Buf^'was asked by Dr. Parkin to sing "(j^j^Save the Queen." She consented on the condition that I play the accompaniment. This, of course, I was glad to do, and she sang it magnificently. "I remember, after Miss Butt and J had visip&'.Havergal College, where she sang ,to the students, Miss '»Butt; said 'I wish you woui'^fel me n which key I should sing "God Save the Queen." I said that perhaps we could have a rehearsal. "Yes," she replied,- "please let us have a few minutes at' the Queen's hotel" (where A^i'^Bt»^^^hA^iMiLjhring over ^Th.ST^^.i^a^.ZMmi&m'' five or six times in F and G, A flat and A we came to the conclusion that the key of A flat would be best—.not the lowest key, you will note. I often quote this to my own pupils—pointing out how careful she was to make the best of herself and of the anthem she had to sing. "I remember Miss Clara Butt, when she sang at 'Penny readings' and very unpretentious concerts Jane Cowl to AppeajXjn^Tliriie; New Produjcions in -'■;■■ December FOUR WEEKS OF DUSE This photograph shows a- miniature s Civic Grand Opera Company.

Mr. Taylor also invites us to, imagine John Barrymore interrupting Hamlet's soliloquy to perform an ac- centric dance, or Mrs. Pisk playin her role in "A Doll's House" to th accompaniment ojf running comment such as, "That's a tricky speech and "My throat's bad again—I must remember that aspirin!" . . Good funning, of course, and;:j|ii ed. But de Pachmann isn't a John Barrymore or a-Mifs; Fisk or a,Babe Ruth. These eminent artists i them- not without a fair ishare of egotism, \ even eccentricity. But they do not carry their vanity to th< point of genius like Vladimir d< PachmaHm^;^*so'i^!l,e@a$\^e ,-remem - bered that while, if Babe Ruth should throw down his bat and start pitching quoits, everybody would ur doubtedly be "vastly infuriated hen de Pachmann quits playing the' piano to explain how immeasurabl superior his art is to that of all othe pianists, everybody is vastly de lighted. If de Pachmann were not really great—a supreme performer in own, no doubt limited, field of piano art, he would be laughed off the plat- as a ludicrous mountebank, iply impossible not to sense the fact that this old man has a miracu ous gift from high • heaven. He : not a Paderewski of alflpower and profundity, or a Rachmaninoff of deep and mystic themes; but i&s^a magic-maker of musical delicacies he is—just de Pachmann, unique her ieacher the late Mr. D. Rooth ham, of Clifton, Bristol, very well. He, with the help of a few other influential people, succeeded in getting | her a scholarship at the Royal College of Music." Getting Back at Pachmann THE first thing that Vladimir de Pachmann said when he landed in America for his prestnt^ti? was that he was the greatest pianist in the world. He particularly mentioned Rachmaninoff and Hofmann as third-rate pianists. Next he scoffed at the New York music critics; Only two pianists have been heard from in reply, but the New York critics have nearly all cut loose on the eccentric old master. I^S^IP Ethel Leginska, one of the most celebrated pianists of her sex, writes to the newspapers to "protest indignantly." She exclaims: "That de Pachmann has made a name for himself as an exquisite performer of small pieces cannot be denied;/but where is the big sweep, the gigantic power, the1 colossal brain of a Liszt (with whom he compares himself), or a Rubinstein, or a Hofmann, a Busoni, or a Rachmaninoff of today—where the superb musicianship Of a Harold Bauer or a Gabrilo- witsch? To play the piano in a great way does not mean just a marvelous twittering of the fingers." Ethel's sense of humor is clearly defective. Joseph Hofmann's is not. When he returned from Europe the other day to begin his season's tour the first thing the newspaper men asked him was what he had to say about de Pachmann's remark, that] while Hofmann played very well at the age of nine, he had done nothing worth while since. Hofmann smilingly answered: "De Pachmann has not heard me play in twenty years, ahd besides the dear old gentleman has aged considerably during that] time. Yes, I agree with him if he says that he is the greatest living pianist. If de Pachmann says so it must be true." Now for the ftew York critics. They all say the same things, each in his own way. Deems Taylor, of the New York World, writes in the vernacular, and is perhaps the most interesting. He takes this vein: "De Pachmann gets you' into the haU under.the pretense of giving yqu an hour of great music; and when ho gets you there he gives you a fair vaudeville show. If Babe Ruth should suddenly throw down his bat in the Abird inning of a World's Series garhe and start pitching quoits, all the sporting writers, to say nothing of the spectators, would be vastly infuriated. The audience at the "Van - ties" would be justly aggrieved if Joe Cook came out and began to play a Beethoven sonatb; and there are an unreasonable few who object to going J Incidentally, it may be said that at his New York recital' crowds people were turned away, and those who heard him were amused • but spellbound, just as we were in Toronto. Most Popular Songs SPEAKING of Hofmann—prepare for a surprise when he appears in Toronto soon. He has had his hair cut short all over his head-- almost as short as Rachmaninoff's. Hofmann is the most "normal" of the first-rank pianists, just as Pachmann is the most peculiar. Reference was made on this page last week to the newest violin star, Cecilia Hansen, - the twenty-year-old girl who has just made a sensational American debut,jthkr first recit&Lliin' New York stirring the critics to a remarkable pitch of enthusiasm. She is evidently going to reap a fortune at once. Concert managers everywhere are wiring her manager for engagements. She has been secured as soloist with the Boston Symphony and the Chicago Orchestra for several concerts. She will.coirie to Canada for the first time in January, having been engaged by Mr. I. E. Suckling. M^^^^^^K^^^ W Musical America, of New York, has collected the opinions of forty well - known singers, teachers, and other musicians, as toxthe best modern American songs.

Ukrainian Chorus In Toronto Nov. 15th fTIHE people of Toronto are going tp have the opportunity of hearing unique organization whe^-jithe' :rainian National Chorus gives a concert at Massey Hall I Thursday, November 15th. ■-Spflflfe V This company stands out prominently ^and comes to Toronto after touring Europe and after delighting hundreds of audiences. Such words. as "glorious." and 'supreme" have been irsed to describe the Ukrainians and' Norman M. Withrow,1 manager of Massey* Hall, feels - that he has been successful in booking a truly famous chorus|piii'<i'! $^e\th'at will charm all.iJwKcj" hear it. h|vconductor is a prominent personage, Prof. Alexander Kashetz, ell known as "a composer and conductor in the European capitals. To him is gi.yen a great deal of credit for the successes which jfee.Ukrain- National Chorus. has -|£tta£rte'djj: The entire enterprise is fathered by, Max Rabinoff whose. undertakings well known. : view of its .many previous successes, thi$'Chorus can be counted m to provide a thrill for as many can find accomodation in Massey Hall. Sistine Chapel Choir mHfcgaSistine Chapel Choir "bf the Vatican will sing in Massey Hall iext Tuesday evening and it fs a foregone conclusion that the audience will he a "capacity" one. The choir is composed of fifty-four perfectly trained artists: fourteen tenors, ten bassos, four male sopranos, >ur male altos and twenty boy ngers. Its history dates back to the time of. the emergence of the Chris- s from the catacombs. It has always set a high, standard for choral singing and enjoys the exclusive privilege «of singing at all of the magnificent services and splendid eremonials at which the Pope officiates in person. The tour which has the Pope's official permission, will be under the personal conductorship of Monsignor Ahtonia (Rella, who for more than twenty years has been connected with the Sistine Chapel Choir and who since the illness and retirement of Perosi, some eight years ago,' has been its, actual director. • FEMININE .ECONOMY A WOMAN'S idea of economy is to use a gas range for the purpose of cutting down the coal bill. t THE principal number on program to be gf^en by the celebrated Boston Symphony Orchestra at its Toronto concert under the conductorship of Pierre Monteux, in Massey Hall on Wednesday evening, November 7th-, will be the "London SymphoriyjrapfcSij Vaughan„i^?illiams. This largely- cenceived and beautifully executed score has had considerable popularity in the concert halls of the United States at the hands of more than one orchestra. When Pierre Monteux introduced the "London Sym phony" to Boston, such ,was it popularity that he repeated it in th< same Season and' again in the following season. It.is generally est mated as:^ne of the finest and mo characteristically national creative ■$ijcm$y£ments in English music. Thi sights, sounds, and echoes of London are suggested in masterly fashion Vaughan Williams 6pens and closes the symphony with a dreamy picture of the Thames river with the chimes of Big Ben in Westminster Abbey heard in the distance. We have gjimpses of various street! which conjure lip the atmosphere o: this metropolis of tendless contradiction. One movement we are -taken into the noisy and cheery bustle of the Strand at a busy morning hour; at another time into the district ol Bloomsbury at twilight; and again on the Thames embankment where these street noises are hushed by the distance and the intervening fogs. The notes of lavender hawkers ; an itinerant pedlar furnish some of the detail. The French School will be represented by Debussy's two nocturnes, "Clouds" and "Festivals/;*' which are considered to have, an authoritative and eloquent "interpretation at thi hands of the illustrious French con ductor, who was a friend of the late composer and the first exponent' of more than ohe of his scores. The other numbers will be an Arrangement according to modern orchestration by Respighi, the Italian composer, of three dances from hisaci&bjp patriots, in certain cases unknown, of the 16th century. The evening will close%with Liszt's symphonic poem, "Tasso:" Lamentoe Trionfo." ._ Pavlowa Ballet in Toronto Two Nights "DAVLOWA, recognized - as' the foremost living dancer,' has returned to this continent after a most brilliant world tour, and a "fortnight's engagement at Covent Garden,^Hpr^ don. The Russian danseuse and her Ballet Russe opened her American tour at the Manhatten Opera House, New York, on 0"d^b%£'£8thy: after' an absence of two seasons, presenting many new and complete ballets and divertissements and introducing several. nefa;s.supporting artists. Pavlowa staged several unique and beautiful offerings, created ySxid, worked . out by the star herself during her extensive^A^pld.; World travels .which.took her and her choregraphic family to Japan,: ^llfdia;' Egypt. 1 These far-off- lands with their strange customs ~ and peoples were generously drawn upon by the' £§bn,' artistic observation and comprehension of the Russian danseuse, and now audiences are' enjoying '■ some novel and strikingly 'effective concepts adapted to Pavlowa's own charming interpretative genfjraS&A Mme. Pavlowa's programs this season, therefore, are widely divergent in character, it being announced that upon her transcontinental tour, which brings her incomparable organization to Massey Hall on Nov. 19th and 20th, the dancer has, retained in her repertoire the mqst popular offerings of past American visits. Pearl Newton's Recital JTOLDERS of subscribers^ seats to the Peart Newton rrecitai are reminded that the plan opens a day earlier, November 5th, for this class of ticket. It must be remembered that the general public takers also a great, interest in Mr. Blight and' Mr. Hambourg, I and the patronage of regular attendants at Massey Hall concerts may be counted upon. More than half' the seating capacity Will be for' the higher priced tickets which constitute the majority - of those sold.' The acoustics of the hall, however, assure everyone a good hearing.

The cast includes Corinne Griffith, Cxmway Tearle, Elliot Dexter, Hobart Bosworth, Phyllis Haver, Bryant Washburn, Miss Dupont, Wally Van, Doris May and Dagmar Godowsky.
