Stork Derby Case
in Appeal Court
Fight Verdict Millar
Will Valid
TORONTO, JAN.« <C$*-Tfit admonition in 'the Bible, "Be fruitful
and replenish the eirth," was addressed to men. not to women, Mr.
Justice W. R. Riddell declared today
during hearing of two appeals in
connection with the Millar will
"stork derby".
The appeals were against Mr. Justice W. F.. Mlddleton's Judgment that
Charles Vance Millar's will was valid, but the $500,000 bequest was not
to be shared by mothers with illegitimate children.
"The race is revolting to decency
and common sense," declared I. F.
Hellmuth, K.C, pleading for next-
to-kin that the clause inaugurating
the "baby race" be invalidated as
being against the common good.
"The children are handicapped from
the start. They are mentally, morally and physically deficient.
"The Millar will bequest was a
gift to a mother not to children, and
a mother of illegitimate children is
as much a mother as one of legitimate children," he argued, attacking
Mr. Justice Middleton's judgment
mothers of illegitimate children
could not share In the "prize".
Mr. Justice Riddell said the question In this case was to decide whether "a child in the scientific sense
is a child in the legal sense."
John R. Cartwright, K.C. counsel
for Pauline Mae Clarke, red-haired
mother who appealed the decision
illegitimate children should not
share under the will, suggested the
entire cue be sent back to Mr. Jus-
tic Middleton before being considered by the court of appeal. "The presiding Judge should decide what
mothers are entitled to benefit under the will," said Cartwright.

today against a woman and two men
charging they conspired to obtain

of the woman's 13-year-old daughter.
Those named were Mrs. Violet
Wells Norton of Winnipeg, Man., and
now said to be In Los Angeles; Jack
L. Smith, local private detective, and
Frank Kienan, Winnipeg rooming
house keeper.   ■
"I never.heard of Mrs. Norton,"
said Gable. "This woman apparently
is suffering from some kind of delusion, but I am sick and tired of
being pestered by her."
The complaint, filasd by United
States Attorney Pierson Hall, charged the three entered into a "scheme
in substance that the defendants
should claim that one Gwendoline
Norton was the daughter of Clark
Gable and should demand from said
Clark Gable money for her support."
HARGRAVE QUITS
EDMONTON
Technical Adviser to
Social Credit Body
"Gives Up"
EDMONTON, Jan. 25 (CP)-John
Hargrave, leader of the Social Cred
It party of the United Kingdom, and
Premier William Aberhart, leader of
the first Social Credit government
in the world, came to the parting of
the ways today.
Hargrave, who was technical id-
viser to the Social Credit planning
comfnittee which Premier Aberhart
appointed December IB, suddenly
left Edmonton today. In a statement
to the press, he said he took this
step "because I regretfully find rny-
sett unable to coperate further with
Mr. Aberhart and his cabinet."
The Alberta premier declined to
comment on Hargrove's sudden departure .and other cabinet ministers
were equally reticent.
Hargrave left here for Calgary,
where was expected to catch a train
for the east.
The Hargrave statement, delivered
to the press after his departure from
the city, said in part: "I still feel the
first Social Credit government In the
world is not yet publicly committed
to the principles of Social Credit. I
still feel that it lacks technical
knowledge, and that, as a consequence, it has, over the past 16
months, groped its way like a man
stumbling along on a pitch black
night."

velopment of British Columbia's
basic mining industry to increase
the province's potential horsepower
and make possible the establishment
of Industries similar to the great

Warren of the University of British
Columbia in a speech before a service club.
"Industries go to the country that
lias the fuel," Dr. Warren said.
He said Germany, importing many
raw materials, was enabled to successfully treat them because of her
five million potential horsepower.
British Columbia's horsepower, he
said, was estimated to be between
four and a half and five and a half
million, waiting to be developed.

13 Passengers, Driver and Porter Escape In Worlt
Tragedy in Transportation History of Stat*
MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 25 (AP).—An express bus plunged from the
Tamaiml Trail today carrying 17 of its 30 passengers, many of
them northern tourists, to death by drowning in the Everglades.
The big vehicle overturned and rolled into a 12-foot deep canal
which parallels the lonely highway across the southern end of
the peninsula. It waa the worst tragedy in the transportation
history of the state.
Besides the 13 passengers who escaped, the driver and a negro
porter were saved.
The passengers were trapped In their seats as the bus sank in
the stream, where Seminoles pole their dugouts and hunt for alligators. Only a corner of the roof remained above the water.
The driver, Bill Hammond, 23, of Tampa, who escaped with
slight cuts, said he though the steering gear broke.
"I was driving at i moderate rate ot speed when something
happened," he recounted at a hospital. "Either the steering gear
broke or the right front wheel collapsed.
"For 30 or 40 yards I was able to hold the bus on the highway
and then it swerved to one side and the next I knew we were In the
canal.
"The porter and I broke the glass and crawled out. When I
got out of the water, passing motorists had stopped. I thought
we should go into the canal and break the windows in an effort
to get people out but the motorists thought air might still be in the
bus and people might still be alive."
It took divers with helmets to extricate the bodies later.

Tip Over Gyros
Spring Surprise When
Get 3-2 Win Over
Heavy Team
Playing a smart defensive game,
and backed up by a great exhibition
of goaltending by Norman May, the
M.R.K. club's midget hockey team
sprung the greatest surprise of the
season when they downed the
husky Gyros club 3-2 in a league
game played Saturday morning. The
win sent the M.R.K. boys into a
triple tie with the F.A.C. team and
the Gyros for second place in the
local midget league.
The winners were ouUhot 31-13
in the three periods, and during the
entire game had only five good
scoring chances, and they came very
near to scoring on all of them.
Outweighed by a considerable margin, and being a much younger
club, the winners played the only
kind of a game that could have resulted in victory for them, letting
their opponents bring the play to
them and waiting for breaks.
The Gyros had the wide margin
of play, but found May a stumbling
block until late In the third period,
when the M.R.K. club was. leading
by a 3-0 scbre. In their efforts to
score the losers forgot about their
defense, .with the result that Clay
I ton received poor protection.
WINNERS OUT8HOT
In the first period the M.R.K:
club was outshot 12-3, but at that
thei M.RK. boys-were unluUcay!(in
not scoring one goal, when'young
Tommy Griffiths snared a .loose
puck and passed ahead to Walter
Wood, Clayton making a great save
on a hard shot.
Just after Gray returned to the
Ice, Wilfred Wood opend the scoring on Walter Wood's close-in. pass.
Jack Argyle was playing a great-
game all the way, and Just- before
the end ofthe period he scored the
winner's second goal, Griffith getting an assist
Pressing hi\rd, to get into the
scoring column, the Gyros gave
Barney Prestly a break, and he sent
his club into a 3-0 la^ad after two
minutes play. From then on the
Gyros threw caution to the winds,
and the M.R.K. boys played a strong
defensive game to hold their lead.
Roy Brown, Tommy Griffith and
Billy Crossley showing some smart
hockey. Shortly after Harold Tapaniia, who was the outstanding
Gyro players on the ice, scored on
Alex Strudwick's assist, and two
minutes later, Jim Dodding cut the

M. R. K. club, has scored two shutouts in the two previous league
games, but his record was snapped
when Walley Matheson scored the
opening goal of the game for the
F. A. C. team after five minutes
play in the opening period Saturday.
The Fairview boys tried hard all
the   way,   but   with   several   new
players in their line-up, were up
against a better conditioned club,
although they showed improvement
over previous games. George Ioanin,
goal. Mack Norris, Frank Christian

Ymir Puck Team
In City Tonight
Meet New Grand Club
in One of Three
Puck Battles
This eveninajs triple-header hockey program at the Civic Centre
arena will feature the Ymir inter,
mediate team who will play the
local New Grand Tigers at 8:30. In
the opening game of the program at
7 the Nelson Transfer club will
meet the F.A.C. juveniles in a league
game, and immediately following
tbe the Ymir vs Tigers game the
undefeated Fairview juniors will
play the Hawks in a junior league
game.
Little Is known of the Ymir team,
but it is reported that they have a
number of husky experienced players in their lineup that have made
a name for themselves elsewhere.
So much interest Is being taken in
hockey in Ymir this season that a
new rink has been constructed with
boards all the way around, and
through the courtesy of the West
Kootenay Power Si Light Company,
the rink is well lighted for night
games.
The New Grand team will have
all their regular players out for tbe
game, and in addition, have signed
Jack Whitfield, husky defenceman
of the rep Junior team, to finish the
season with them. Whitfield will
make his first appearance of the
season with the Tigers tonight.
The Nelson Transfer boys have
won two games over the Fairview
juveniles this season, but the Fair-
view boys have shown considerable
improvement recently and tonight
may be the time to chalk up their
initial win of the season.
In the junior league game, the
F.A.C. squad are favorites, but the
Hawks are showing better form in
every appearance, and their supporters are predicting that they will yet
lower the colors of the Fairview and
New Grand teams. Several juveniles
will likely play for the Hawks this
evening.

Working Wives
Are Okayed in
School Debate
House "B" Team at
High School Is
Winner
"Resolved that there should be
no descrimination against married
women seeking employment," was
the subject for a debate, won by
the affirmative side, House "B" between two high school groups, House
"A" and "B", in the Nelson high
school assembly hall Friday, afternoon.
The first speaker for the affirmative, Eva Hendrickson of House
"B", made reference to women holding high positions in other countries,
taking as an example, Mrs. George
Black, M.P., for the Yukon, where
men are men, but are led by a woman,
Lena Rollick first speaker for the
negative, took as her theme "Lottie poor husband with a business
wife", in which she pictured the
husband whose wife was the breadwinner of the family.
Speaking convincingly for the affirmative, Iris Johannson elaborated on the popular "misapprehension" that man is duty-bound to
support his wife.
SOCIALITE VS.
WORKING GIRL
Batty Holt, negative, in no uncertain terms dealt with the wrong
of allowing well-to-do society girls
to compete with unfortunate working girl, who is really in need of
employment.
Stating that a new type of woman was evolving in this modern
age, who could hold her own in the
business world and should be allowed to show her worth, Georgina
Wllliscroft followed for the affirmative side. Miss Williscroft's efforts

WARNING
INFLUENZA
TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED
With the possibility of influenza again becoming epidemic in British Columbia, the Provincial Board of Health calls attention to the
People are very much given to underrating the effect of this disease
and to regard it more as a common cold.
Remember, first, that it is very infectious, and you owe it to yourself
and to your neighbors to do everything to avoid catching it; and—
Secondly, if you do catch It, that your duty to your neighbors is to
prevent them from catching it from you.
It begins as a common cold, headache, pains in muscles, chills, feeling of cold in the head, soreness ot throat, fever.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
The germ of the disease is transmitted by:—
(1.) Droplets of spray from loud talking, coughing, and sneezing.
(2.) Through drinking and eating out of utensils improperly cleansed.
(3.) By direct contact.
Note—The mild cases are as dangerous for spreading as severe ones.
More even, because a man with a mild case comes in contact with a
greater number of people.
(4.) The carrier plays a larger part in thc spreading of the disease
than is realized.  Therefore
AVOID CROWDS
(5.) There is no vaccine against Influenza.
If attacked by the disease, keep warm, send for the doctor, and keep
the other members of the family out of the room. If the children complain, keep them at home, and remember, if care is not taken, that the
after-effects of the disease are the cause of the deaths.
Isolation of the Patient will prevent the Spread of the Disease.
GENERAL RULES
1. Avoid needless crowding; influefiza is a crowd disease.
2. Smother your coughs and sneezes; others do not want thc germs
which you would throw away.
3. Your nose, not your mouth, was made to breathe through; get
the habit. ,      ,
4. Remember the three C's: "A -clean mouth, clean skin, and
clean clothes." ........     ...      a.
5. Open the windows, always at home at night; at the office when
practicable. , , .     .   .  - „
6. Your fate may be in your own hands; wash your hands before
eating
7. Don't use a napkin, towel, spoon, fork, glass, or cup which has
been used by another person and not washed.

MAYOR'S VOTE
IS INVOKED AT
FIRST MEETING
Council Splits Evenly
on Holding Weekly
Meetings
Split vote decided by Mayor J P.
Morgan ruled out at Monday night's
first regular meeting of the city
council a motion to hove the council meet each week instead of every second Monday.
Alderman R. W. Sharp, suggesting
there was considerable work ahead,
proposed weekly meetings. Alderman N. C. Stibbs supported him.
To their assertion that many of
the 1938 meetings lasted until after
11 o'clock, Mayor Morgan rep'ied
that this was largely because committees failed to meet. If they had
held meetings and discussed their
business there would have been
"nothing like the amount of work"
to be done by the council, he said,
adding that there would be."roth-
lag to do when you get here" if the
council met each Monday.
When Alderman A. G. Bite-hie
moved that meetings be held fort- j jn many caECS taps were still run
nightly as formerly Aldermarf Sharp. mng and wouad have to bc kept run.
offered an amendment calling for I ning to avoid freezingi for they
•weekly meetings. On the vote h- was werc ;n piaces improperly heated,
supported by Aldermen Stibbs and Thcro were a number of houses
Morey, while opposing the amend-1 with plumbing in unheated parts of
ment were Aldermen Ritchie, Slad-, them or in lean-to additions.
At the present time, Mr. Potter
told the council, Nelson's consumption of water was probably as low
as it had ever been at about 100 gallons per capita per day. This was
easily 100 per cent better than tho
best previous and was unusually
low for an unmetered city.
Mayor J. p. Morgan did not believe Nelson would in the future suf •
~       ,   ,   ,   ,      , , i fer a similar lack of water as in
«ian Gore, fart skating forward  m t f      d        d

Notice of motion of a bylaw
authorizing purchase of land for
Nelson's projected 5,000,000 gallon rsiervoir on the Heddle property ab.ve Mountain Station was
given by Alderman H. B- Lindsay
at Monday night's council meeting. The council \\t% been holding the land on an option, pending the Indorsation given tha $75,-
000 bylaw by ratepayers at the
civic election.
City Engineer R. E- Potter Informed the council the new reservoir was "pretty well planned"
and urged an early start on construction in order that It might :
finished by June 15 so as to be
filled in plenty of time for the
season of heavy demand. Clearing of the ground would start as
coon as possible he said, but it
would be necessary to wait until
the frost was out o' the ground to
do grading. |n the meantime purchase of materials could be carried out and the necessary bypass In the present Five-Mile lino
{  could be installed.
It was Mr. Potter's opinion that
Five-Mile creek did not contain sufficient water in severe cold we; Iher
to supply the city's needs, and he
expressed the opinion that the
cheapest and most practical manner of remedying the situation
would be to install a pump and use
lake water in periods of stress.
RESERVOIR RISI.IG
Conservation of w:.ter during the
past "few days was slowly bringing
up the level of the reservoir. But

Over 200 votarlei of Robert Bum*,
including many citizens of other
descents than Scottish, gathering In
Eagle ball Monday night on tho
I78th anniversary of ScotUnd's national bard, Joined In presenting
Nelson's tout to "the poet of mankind," at the Burns Night banquet
of Clan McLeary.
From the heather to the haggis,
and from the Selkirk grace to the
last number on the program, everything pertaining to the celebration
was redolent of .Scotia, and the same
■Dpl'cd to the dance program that
"included the evening.
| Clansman S, H. Smythe, who was
I n the chair, welcomed the large
company present to honor the memory of Burns, and expressed the
hope that the rising generation
wou'd emulate the poet's qualities
-nd achievements.
HAGGIS PIPED IN
After Chaplain D. J. Robertson
had pronounced the Selkirk grace,
Pipers Peter Leslie and Jack Stout
ilped the haggis, born aloft by
Clansman Geordie Wallach, through
the hall up to the heed table, where
Tam-s Kay pddrc-sed It in Burns'
'amiltnr and laudatory terms, and
'aid Its ste-m'n" Interior open with
!he carving knife.
Then the banque* proceeded, dozens of repl'cas of the first haggis
wing served to the diners.
Singing by the company of "There
Was a Led Was Born In Kyle," as
muni opened the formal program.
J. R. McL»nnrin then presented
he toast to "The Immort.il Bard"
n an address that summed up the
•'Ppeiaiing reisons for the world's
vorship of Burns' memory.
REMINISCENT WIND
Alluding to thc wind "blowing
wildly around the lums and homes
of Nelson" as he was making his
notes, provid'ng an atmosphere appropriate for a consideration of the
gallant but troubled spirit who was
ushered Into this vale of tears by
iust such another January blast, Mr.
McLennan noted that despite the
178 years that had passed since
then, each new generation growing
up found ever increased pleasure
in the lungs and lyrics of that noble
mind. While It was regrettable that
Burns could not have enjoyed In
his lifetime a little encouragement
In lieu Of some ot this posthumous
praise, It was undoubtedly a fine
thing for succeeding generations at
the start of the new year to come to
renewed contemplation of the man
and poet who had so established
h'msalf in the hearts of men.
Addressing hlm-*lf more to the
newer votaries of Burns, and confessing that anyone who had heard
the late George E. Murray of Trail
on the Immortal Bard must approach his task with a sense of his
own ab'llty to do that gallant memory fu'l justice, Mr. McLennan deprecated that form of talk regarding
Burns that wai more than half
apology. "Tho splendor of the legacy he has left us should surely
protect him from any such attitude,"
-aid the speaker, regarding those
who were forever digging into
Burns' private life, and he suggested
the poet would have been quick to
resent the "almost Indecent searching" Into his private affairs.
MOULDS MEN'S
THOUOHTS
Characterizing Burns as surprisingly modern in his outlook, an outlook In advance of his time, Mr. McLennan pointed out how It had
moulded the ideas of his countrymen ever since. Hli view of the
worth of the individual irrespective
of walk or station, hli brotherhood
of man, met a much more widespread and responsive reception in
all democratic states today than
when he wrote. He had a keen insight into the motives and weaknesses of his fellow men as well as
a quick recognition of their virtues,
and like all great and compassionate hearts, he was a profound student of human nature and a severe
and fearless critic of meanness,
hypocricy and the baser qualities
which played havoc with humanity.
While he scourged these" qualities
with a merciless pen, nowhere, said
the speaker, did the Scottish poet
make light of suffering, sincerity,
truth, or deep-feeling, but rather he
reverenced and exalted them, and
that was why so much of his poetry
was haunting and satisfying, and
why hii lyrics hod held the heart
of the world with a hold that defied
the parsing of the yean.
INTERPRETED HEART
Men in the mass werc so Inarticulate, and when they found their
deepest thoughts, longings, hopes
and fears expressed for them in the
true language of poetry, they were
grateful and delighted. This, the
rpeaker thought, was the secret of
lhe veneration of Burnt—the fact
that he was one of the finest exponents of the deepest feelingr. His
compassionate heart loved all wean.
things, and did not disdain to Immortalize even the trivial things.
The little mouse scurrying timorously before the plow, the daisy
raising its gallant heed in the furrow, the old horse, the faihfut dog,
all made their appeal to his large
and loving heart.
Then his love songs! "There arc
none finer In any language, and
they will continue to awaken responsive echoes In millions of hearts
long after those now delighting In
them have passed on," the speaker
remarked.
LIVES AS SINGER
Admitting that while Bums was
perhaps preeminently the poet of
the people, and while their wrongs
and the cruelty that often oppressed
thorn and the "slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune, the insolence of
office," to uis Shakespeare's expression, were often hli theme, Mr,
McLennan expressed the opinion that
It was not so much the rebel Burns
who had survived In the world'!
heart, but the linger of songs, expressing in haunting and exquisite
melody the themes of happy love,
the Joys of home and children, the
fireside epic, the dignify ot right
living and right thinking. It was
Burns' songs, he suggested, that
nlaced the Scottish bard among the
Immortals, and would continue to
make him a messenger to thousands
yet unborn.
How Burns would have delighted
In this beautiful Kootenay "land of
mountain and of flood," where, to
quote hii words;
"The outstretching late, embosomed 'mong the Mill
They eye with wonder and amazement Bill."
How this far western land would
have appealed to Burns, exclaimed
the speaker — this western land
where, thank goodness, still sur
vived the feeling that "the rank Is
but tho guinea stamp, a man's a man
for a' that." He could see the poet
hobnobbing at Nelson's fine new
curling rink with "Scotty" Marr,
Tom Ledingham. Alick Ritchie, J. B.
Gray, and other good citizens of
Nelson, delighting them all with his
good fellowship and his ready wit
and repartee. Carrying this thought
through on a lighter vein, Mr. McLennan said he could even see "J.B."
offering Burns thc loan of a wee
d'amond if he would Just write a
bit of verse on his window.
A UNIVERSAL PRAYER
So, as the birthday waxed and
waped, once more let his votaries
think kindly and gratefully of the
men and the singer who had left
them to rich a legator, the man who
was hi- own exacMng critic, the
man of such truly deep religious
feeling that he could pen the prayer:
"O Thou unknown, Almighty
Cause
Of all my hope and fear,
In Whose dread presence ere an
hour
Perhaps I must appear,
"If I have wandered in those paths
Of life I ought to shun,
As something loudly in my breast
Remonstrates 1 have done;
"Though know'st that Thou hai
form'd me
With passions wild and strong;
And listening to their witching
voice
Has often led me wrong.
"Where human weakness has
come short
Or Frailty stept aside,
Do Thou, All-Good, for such Thou
art,
In shades of darkness hide.
"Where with Intention I have
err'd,
No other plea I have
But Thou art good; and goodness
still.
Del ghteth to forgive."
The eulogy of Burns was warmly
applauded, and Chairman Smythe
expressed the hope that the Clan
would hoar Mr. McLennan again
on some future occasion.
Songs by or about Burns featured
the remainder of the program, Adam
Cruickshank, accompanied by Mrs.
A. A. Pagdin, rendering two tenor
solos, "Star of Robbie Burns," and
"My Aln Folk", while Miss Rose
Hartwlg, accompanied by Mn. Nelson Bill, sang with the utmost sweet
ness. "Alton Water" and "Bonnie
Doon".
At this point the chairman added
an unannounced number, calling
on Dr. D. W. McKay for an impromptu speech.
DR. MoKAY GIVES
ROGERS'  GREETINGS
Catching only the word "McKay"
of the chau-man's remarks, Dr. Mc
Kay rose fluently to the occasion,
first referring to L. V. Rogers, the
speaker a year ago, who had promised to be present this time also,
but was prevented by a very serious
illness. Describing Mr. Rogers as
now much better, Dr. McKay told
how touched Mr. Rogers was on receiving flowers from the Clan, and
how he had instructed him to give
the Gen his regards and feaijita-
tlons. He predicted Mr. Rogers' presence next time.
Dr, McKay then presented to the
gathering his guest, Bill McKay,
goal keeper of the Nelson Maple
Leafs, wno was wearing tire Kilt.
He explained that Mr. MeaCay has
now become a citizen of Ne'.son, but
was born in Ayrshire, very near the
birthplace of Burns, and almost on
his birthday too, arriving on January 21, while the poet was born
January 25.

"During the past week or 10 days |
numerous cases of Illness have occurred, having the characteristics of |
an acute cold with fever and gastric (
disturbance in lome cases. The illness in the main is not severa and j
runs a brief course. It is important to remain  indoors from the ,
early signs of onset in order to avoid I
complications; and for the same reason those attacked should not re- J
sume  their  ordinary  duties until ]
fully recovered. Lack of these precautions may easily be followed by j
serious complications, of which per*
haps, the  chief and most serious
would be pneumonia,
SCHOOLS SUFFER
"School attendance Is being seriously interfered with; some pupils j
being excluded because of symptoms
of illness, and others are being kept
at home as a precautionary measure.
The school nursing lervice has been
strengthened and the health of the
pupils is being supervised with all
possible thoroughness.
"Chicken pox has almost disappeared; only five cases having occurred during the past four weeks.
"A few cases of measles have occurred but it is not anticipated that
a large outbreak is likely since the
numerous cases of last year have
Immunised a large portion ot those
who would otherwise be susceptible."

Wonders What Would
Have Happened If

TRAIL, B. C, Jan. 25-Hon. Dr
G. M. Weir, provincial secretary and
minister of health and education,
astounded his audience when he
quoted at length from Burns' works
as he reolied Monday night to the
toast to Canada at the Trail Caledonian society's banquet commemorating the birth ot Robert Burns,
Scotland's Immortal poet. The ban-1
quet was held at the K.P, hall. 1
He gave a brief resume of Burns'
works and expressed great joy in
having read them. He dwelt on what
might have happened if Burns, as he
originally planned, had come to Canada. However, there was a great
Scottish influence in the Dominion,
he said, so great that his worm
through this influence had been perpetuated.
The toast "The Immortal Memory'' was given by William Ramsay.
Other speakers were Alex Balfour,
president of the society and chairman; Mayor Bruno Lerose, Wil'Iam

TEMPORARY TEETH
IMPORTANT
Temporary teeth were often regarded as unimportant, but the fact
remained that if tht- were lost several yean before they were due to
be expelled, there would be pressure
one way or another on the new
teeth, and a definite deformity was
almost certain; for in-taUice, prognathous or projecting teeth.
The speaker said it was aid In
the dental profession that 90 per
cent of people were affected with
some deformity of the teeth, large or
small, and that 20 to 40 per cant
of people definitely needed treatment. Of those needing treatment.
40 per cent had dental arches that
were too narrow. The lower set determined the upper, as the upper
took form over the lower.
CASTS AND MASKS SHOWN

and also several masks he had made

There Is no possibility of a popular demonstration egi><n*t her—they

Wales. Underground trains will run
night and day with special exits
being built. Great liners will moor
in the Thames, packed in the funnels for two weeks.
Historic edifices and principal
government buildings will be floodlit and private and commerckil
house are preparing suitable lighting features. The London Associated
Electricity Undertakings will make
no charge for installation of supplementary points during the coronation period, and electricity on public buildings is to be provided free.
The State coach is which the King

According to the understanding
here, formal Invitations to the coronation will not bt issued to provincial premiers. Such invitations
are tantamount to a royal command
to attend and this Is not the desire
of the King. However, the province has been advised that seats will
be reserved in Westminster Abbey
for premiers of the provinces who
wish to be present.

THE ESLING HOUSING PLAN
Nelson's new city council will no doubt give consideration to the suggestion which was made recently by W.
K. Esling, M.P. for Kootenay West, with regard to financing new construction of homes.
The matter is one of first importance. Nelson, in common with many other cities, is lacking in adequate housing
accommodation. Ask any real estate man, and he will tell
of the difficulties in finding houses available for rent, or,
for that matter, for purchase.
All this is a good sign. It indicates the substantial
growth of the community, which is due chiefly to improvements in mining, industrial and other activities in
the surrounding district. There is every reason for supposing that the present housing shortage will become more
acute, rather than less acute. Nelson has never been overbuilt.
The Dominion government has taken two courses of
action designed to provide for easy financing of construction of new homes, and for repairs and improvements to
existing property. The two schemes should not be confused.
For the housing scheme the federal government passed a
bill providing for loans up to $10,000,000 by the government, plus an additional $40,000,000 by financial institutions such as insurance and trust companies. This scheme
is a good one, but it has proved unworkable insofar as the
small cities are concerned. No trust company feels that it
can afford at the 5 per cent rate of interest called for to
go to the expense of maintaining valuers, appraisers, collectors and all the rest of it in more than a few of the large
cities in which such organizations are already established,
Thus, in British Columbia, no loans have been made as far
as is known excepting in Vancouver.
The plan for financing improvements is dealt with
through the banks, with federal government backing. It is
working out well and will become even more popular when
the spring building season commences.
Mr. Esling has evidently been giving a good deal of
thought to the housing question. He sees that the present
federal government scheme for housing loans is not working out insofar as the smaller cities are concerned.
He therefore suggests that cities, such as Nelson,
which are in strong financial position, should go to the
large lending bodies, such as the insurance companies, and
borrow money from them at 3 per cent, for the specific
purpose of providing for housing loans. Then the cities
could relend at 5 per cent and cover their expenses by the
difference of 2 per cent. The plan would appear to be entirely feasible and, where carried out, it should result in
a lot of new construction.
Such new construction would solve the housing problem, but it would also provide much work directly for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, concrete workers, laborers,
etc., as well as for those engaged in the lumber, cement,
metalware and scores of other industries which supply materials required in home construction.
In the case of Nelson, the city might either arrange
for such a loan from one of the big insurance companies,
such money to be used only for new home construction, or
it might lend up to some definite limit out of its current
revenue. Possibly in this way, though expenses would
have to be considered, it might net a better rate than it
can net on other investments.
The Esling plan certainly looks attractive and should
receive a thorough canvassing as to its application to cities
in Kootenay where there are unfilled housing needs.

A TEAR FOR THE ONION
Few of the chief intellectual developments in the United States pass
entirely unnoticed among the more
thoughtful sections of the British
public, remarks the Christian .Science Monitor. It is therefore only
natural that the reported establishment in Kalamazoo, Michigan, of the
Onion Anti-Defamation society
should have provoked considerable
comment in those London circles
which keep themselves abreast of
the main trends of modern thought,
Robert Louis Stevenson, one commentator recalls, maintained that
the onion ranks with the truffle and
the nectarine In the chief place of
honor amongst the world's fruit."
On the, other side of the Atlantic,
Oliver Wendell Holmes called it "a
communicative and companionable
vegetable, with a real genius for
soup," and Herodotus says that the
Pyramids were built on it, Moreover, to "know one's onions" is proverbially a sign of wisdom.
With such authoritative opinion
active in its behalf, the onion may
wonder at the anxiety which the
Kalamazoo society feels for it.

SHE MISSED THE CHEERS
Imperious Princess Elizabeth, 10-
year-old heiress to the British throne
has to be curbed every now and

One day she was with Queen
Mary in one of the larger stores of
London. Every so often the little girl
would plead: "Grandma, please
hurry." Finally Queen Mary asked
why the child was in such a rush.
Elizabeth replied: "There are lots of
people waiting outside to cheer me!"
Aghast at such a reply, Queen Mary
acted like the sensible person she
is and had the child sent home
through a back door.

By ROBERT QUILLEN
BASEBALL IN ENGLAND
A British sports writer, reviewing the sporting events
of 1936 in and around London, sees the possibility of baseball becoming a serious rival over there to cricket. He
refers to a major baseball league formed there nearly two
years ago, and to a famous game played last summer between the Catford Saints and the Harringay team. The
start of the game is referred to as the "pitch-off," and it
is interesting to note that the players included two university graduates, a champion wrestler, a champion swimmer, a boxer, and several farmers and students.
The writer's prediction that baseball will rapidly gain
in popularity in England may be fully justified. But
those who left the old land for this country a generation
or so ago may have some doubt. To them it will seem that
there are three prejudices to be overcome before baseball
becomes really popular in England.
One of these is the fact that baseball is the national
summer game of the United States. Of course blood is
thicker than water and all that, and British and United
States statesmen are never more eloquent than when
apostrophizing. Anglo-American friendship, hands-across-
the-sea, and the common bond of language and tradition.
Bul those who lived in England thirty years ago can still
hear the Englishman saying, "But it's from America, isn't
; it?'' He could impart a lot of pity into that question —
■ thirty years ago.
The second difficulty is the "uniform" which baseball
players appear to be obliged to wear. It is, without doubt,
the least attractive costume ever devised for a field game.
The average Britisher still has some regard for aesthetic
considerations, as witness the' doggedness with which he
will defend natural beauty or denounce an outlandish statue. Could he come to tolerate those baseball uniforms?
The third trouble is the British attitude toward an

As often is the case in duplicate,
a few bidders thought the hand
sheuld not be passed out. It was
interesting to note the few variations from a neutral score. One
South player made an opening bid
of 1-Club. West overcalled with
1-Heart and North bid 1-Spade.
When East jumped into 4-Hearts,
South bid 4-Spades. That yeilded
top score.
The opening lead was the K of
hearts. That ended trick taking
for the defenders. Seeing the lone
heart in dummy, East shifted to a
club lead. Declarer's K captured
West's Q. Dummy ruffed declarer's last heart. Four rounds of
winning trumps were taken, picking up all opposing spades. Then
the remaining four club tricks
were run. On the last two of these
declarer let go two diamonds.
Dummy's Ace of diamonds was
led. Il caught East's bare K. Declarers Q of diamonds completed
for him the small slam made, but
which could not be bid,
By guessing which way to play
clubs to pick up the five missing
trumps, South could have made
5-Odd. He must have lost a single
heart. Having exhausted trumps
he could have run off four spade
tricks. On the last of these declarer would have discarded one of
his diamonds. The Ace of dia
monds would then have caught
East's singletin K. After that
dummy's Q would have won the
eleventh trick, but one diamond
trick still had to be given West,
Clubs were decidedly inferior to
spades as trumps.
One East player, third hand,
decided that fourth hand doubtless
would bid, so East put in a semi-
psychic call of 1-Heart. South
overcalled with 2-Clubs. West went
2-Hearts. North bid 2-Sapdes, -East
decided to risk 3-Hearts, South
then bid 3-Spades, but when West
ventured 4-Hearts, both defenders

earnest desire for improvement of
existing conditions.
The present water situation has
given emphasis to what I tried to
convey in my previous letter, the
desirability of expending that part
of the total amount raised by bylaw
not required for necessary improve
ment to the distribution system in
obtaining other sources of supply
rather than in building an artificial
reservoir on our present system. I
have been informed on good authority that the hydraulic engineer on
whose advice the reservoir proposed
was adopted did not have the possibility of an additional source of
supply brought to his attention, and
had this been done, his recommendation would probably have been
quite different.
Is it to much to hope that our
new council will not give this feature of our water problem serious
consideration before making an expenditure of $41,000 on a reservoir
which surely Is a poor substitute
for an additional and dual source of
supply.

I From Nelson Dally News Flies I
January 26, 1907
J. Y. Cockle of Kaslo addressed
the meeting of the B. C. Fruit
Growers association in Nelson on
the subject of injurious and beneficial insects.
PARIS. Jan. 23-The cold Weather
that hit eastern Europe extended
westward to France and the mecury
has reached a low of 17 degrees below zero. The river Seine and the
lakes in the parks have been frozen
and Parisians are enjoying the unusual sport of outdoor skating.
In his flamboyant autobiography,
-Mem Kampf" (My Struggle), Herr
Hitler says, 'Through smart and
continuous application of propaganda, a people can be made to
believe, that Heaven is hell, and
vice versa, that the most miserable
existence Is a paradise." In later
editions this passage has been deleted as being too pointedly offensive to the German people. The Herr
Reichs-fuhrer (an apter title would
be Zwietrachtsschurer, formenter
of discord) means of course political
propaganda, "that modern hocus-
pocus by which conscience sjid
reason are lulled to sleep so that
the forces of rampant violence may
swarm Into bludgeoning reality.'
Wherever this method is employed
in that way, one does well to be
on one's guard. According to
old saying, "Good ale needs no
bush,' that is to draw attention to
the inn where really good ale Is
offered for sale. In like manner, I
the truth stands in no need of
propaganda in order to make its
own way amongst those whom it
concerns. I am fully convinced, as
the result of my reading of human
history, that sooner or later the
truth always does prevail, and it
always will, Behind all propaganda,
especially propaganda that is dictatorial, despotic, jealous of its own
authority, one may suspect the intention to deceive, and deep down
beneath all the clamour and glamour, the poison of egostistical purpose and self-seeking.
Political propaganda is nearly
always inspired by the dual motives
—(1) the desire to conceal unwelcome truth, or divert attention
from it, and (2) the ladling out of
doses, often big doses, of falsehood,
generally spiced with flattery of
those to whom it is administered.
It is also to be remembered that a
great deal of so-called social propaganda is at bottom, nothing else
but political propaganda. If we may
believe newspaper reports of the
time, Mr. Aberhart, soon after assuming the premiership of Alberta,
told the University club ot Ottawa,
that each year 4,000,000 gallons of
milk are poured down the sewers,
whilst children are crying for
food. "Who is your authority for
that, Mr. Aberhart?" he was asked,
"The dean of Canterbury," he replied, "But did the dean mean down
English sewers or Canadian?" "Well,
really, I do not know," confessed
the premier of Alberta. There are
not a few propagandists of the
Aberhart tyije going up and down
the world seeking whom they may
mislead. Most of them travel a narrow path and avoid looking to
the right or left, lest their eyes
fall upon what they don't wish to
see.
As regards' Hitler's dictum, it requires little reflection to preceive
that propaganda engineered by him
covers a diversity of meanings and
objects, especially when you throw
upon it the lurid light of his public
actions and policies. One thing is
certainly implicate in it. Der Fuhrer
arrogates to himself the sole right
to formulate public opinion in
Germany, if there is such a thing
there, and the ability to mold it
for what he interprets as the welfare of the German people, 67
millions of them. In his own estimation, his wisdom is superior to the
wisdom and innate sagacity of them
all. He suffers no contradictory or
antagonistic opinion to exist for a
single instant beside his own. To
give utterance to views at variance
with those of Adolf Hitler Is to
expose oneself to a term In a forced
labor camp, or to punishment even
more drastic. In a new penal code
promulgated in November 1938, one
clause runs to the effect, that assaults on German honor, especially
verbal attacks on Herr Hitler, are
to be punished by a term of imprisonment with hard labor.
Hitler alone by simple proclamation determines the internal policies of the reich (empire), and
shapes its relations with other
countries. He has virtually abolished
parliamentary government. The
reichstag is nothing more than a
rubber stamp, called together at
rare intervals merely to confirm,
at command, the fuhrer's sovereign
Bealby)
edicts. For the just and impartial
administration of the law which is
the practice in all free, democratic,
self-governing countries, he substitutes the autocratic authority of
his own arbitrary will. Indeed, for
democratic government of the
people by the people for the people,
he has publicly and purposely expressed his withering contempt.
The aim and object of his policy
is to make his countrymen virtually
slaves of his despotic will, only of
as regards physical services, but
wholly so as regards the higher
functions of mental energy and
will-power. It is slavery of the spirit more than slavery of brawn and
muscle, and consequently more
corroding, more degrading. He
treats the people as though they
were careless children, ignorant
and stupid, who cannot be trusted
to walk across the road without
grandmotherly guidance. Freedom
of opinion, of speech, of religion,
of the press, of public meeting, as
well as other normal liberties of
the free, democratic citizen, are
rigidly forbidden and uncompromisingly suppressed. In order to
stamp out these freedoms, the
Fuhrer sticks at nothing, as was
demonstrated on June 30, 1934, in
the case of General von Roehme
and General von Schleicher, who
were assassinated without pretence
of a trial on suspicion of setting up
opposition to Hitler's rule.
The following tidbit of popular
wit indicates what is thought of
the character of Hitler's rule. An
unemployed man, anaemic-looking
and manifestly hungry, stopped at
a street-corner to take up another
notch in his belt. "You, what are
you doing there?" cried a Nazi
militiaman arrogantly. "Nothing,
worthy sir. I am only having my
breakfast."
Hitler, addressing some half-a-
million Bavarian peasant farmers
on the 4th of October, last, said.
"If ever in Germany the harvest
yield drops as much as 20 per cent,
it will spell catastrophe for the
nation. People cannot be allowed
to determine for themselves either
what their wages shall be or what
prices they shall receive for their
products. You as peasants must not
say, "We will go on strike, we will
not deliver any more milk in the
towns." You must not say, "What
do we care about the town-dwellers? What are they to us?" Nor
must the workers say, "What do
we care about other classes of
people We care only about ourselves." Already the German people
are being rationed as in war-time
for butter, bacon, fats and lard,
and the restaurants are borbidden
—oh! that blessed word—verboten!
—to serve more than two or three
kinds of food at one meal, so that
waste may be avoided. Cannon and i
tanks, air-planes and battle-ships
are much more important than food
for the people. It is not without
significance, that the average income per head of population dropped in Germany from $296 in 1929
to $212.50 in 1931.

HOPES TO OUST
CANADIANS OUT
OF (HI. HOCKEY
CHICAGO, Ja:i, 25 (AP)-Unl-ed
States boys will be fighting all of
Chicago's National league battles
within the next two years, the man
who pays the bills of tl.e city's present NHL team said tonight.
Starting by announcing his club,
the Black Hawks, will become Chicago "Yankees" next season, Major
Frederic McLaughlin, stirred by
the team's poor showing this season,
made known plans for throwing off
•the traditional Canadian Influence
over the ice game as it is played In
Chicago,
By the time the 1938-39 season
rolls around, McLaughlin said, there
will be only native-born Americans
on the Yankee battlefroni.
These puckchasinc Yankees will
be developed in a "hockey factory"
already in operation, to displace the
Canadian born and trained players
who now dominate thc club, he added.

PATRICK
NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (CP)-Un-
til male babies of the United States
adopt the Canadian habit of cutting
their teeth on a hockey stick, Lester Patrick doesn't believe Major
Frederic McLaughlin of Chicago
will have much success in organizing a native American team capable
of conducting National league warfare.
Th* New York "Napoleon" of the
.Ice game and the chieftain of New
York Rangers said tonight he believed the announced plan of the
Chicago Black Hawks boss "highly
commendable." But, he added hurriedly, "I also think it is highly improbable he can carry it out."

23-APPLICATION   OF   SKI   WAX
The first step is to thoroughly
rub down the running surface of
the ski with fine steel wool. This
is particularly necessary with new
skis to rembvi the varnish or
shellac, applied by the manufacturers, if this is not done, the ski
wax will not impregnate the wood.
Wax should be applied whenever
possible indoors in a moderate temperature and the skis should be
thoroughly dry,
BASE WAX-If a solid or semisolid base was is to be used, it can
be applied first In small dabs over
the running surface and well up
to the points. It is then spread out
and rubbed in with a ski cork or
piece of leather until the whole
surface is covered with an even
layer. It may be rubbed both ways
from to to heel and the reverse
and rubbing should continue until
no lumps or dabs of wax remain
and the surface is smooth.
RUNNING WAX-Determine.the
snow conditions and select the
proper wax as outlined in the last
article. Semi-solid wax is applied
in dabs and a solid wax is rubbed
on over the ski surface. The wax
is then thoroughly distributed in an
even layer by stroking firmly with
ski cork or leather from toe to heel
of the ski. Generally speaking, it
is not advisable to rub in running
wax from toe to heel although with
some waxes this is permissable.
If ski cork or leather is .not
available the ball of the hand may
be used to rub in and to smoothen
the wax as shown in the illustration.

Looming Defeat
Turns Tide to Check
Fairview Midgets
Runaway Game
On the short end of a surprising
6-2 score at the end of the second
period, the -Panther midgets appeared headed for their first loss of
the season, but with Bud Emery
hurriedly summoned into thc lineup, the game took a different complexion, with the Panthers scoring
eight goals In the last session, while
the Fairview boys were only able
to add one more to their total, the
Panthers taking this third consecutive league win by a 10-7 score.
Emery is the standout player ot
the three wins for the Panthers,
has scored 13 goals, and assisted on
six others, and has also shown up
well in two appearances with the
Panther juveniles. While still within
the midget age limit, he is well capable of holding his own in faster
company, and will no doubt leave
the midget ranks in the near future.
Tommy Cookson played a great
game in goal for thc Fairview team
in the first two periods, but let a
few soft ones slip by in the wild

saw nine goals scored. Elmer Gel-

Five-goal Win Puts

Holding the play Inside their opponents area the greater part of
the game, the Panther Juveniles
handed the F.A.C. juvenile team a
5-0 trouncing Saturday evening to
increase their lead over the second
place Nelson Transfer team to tix
in the Nelson juvenile hockey
league. The Panthers have won five
straight games, while the Nelson
Transfer boys have won two and
lost the same number. The F.A.C.
team ia at the bottom of the league
with five losses.
EMERY READY BUT NOT USED
Bud Emery, leading scorer ot the
Panther midgets, who has played
two games with the Panther juvenile club, was in the Panther's box
and in uniform during tha first and
second periods, but was not used.
Several midget players at the game,
and some officials, declared that
his presence in 'the playing box In
uniform constitutes his third game
with the juvenile league, and therefore bars him from further participation in midget ranks.
The F.A.C. players tried hard all
the way Saturday evening, but
were up against a much superior
team, and were outplayed most of
the way except for a few breakaways, only coming close to scoring
on a couple of occasions.
On their present form the Panthers, who are now being handled
from the box by Stewle Paterson,
are one of the strongest juvenile
teams ever got together in Nelsort,
arid have several players In their
ranks who are great prospects.
TWO PLAYERS HURT
IN GAME
Two players received injuries in
the game. Horace Lapotate, husky
defenceman of the Fairview team,
injured his knee badly, and he may
be out of the game for the rest of
the season. Art Guscott, Panther
forward, injured his head in thc
last period, but will be in uniform
within a week, it is expected, although in bed Sunday.
Playing the entire 60 minutes on
defense, Victor Delpuppo and Roy
Breeze played a smart game, and
Scott In goal had a few tbots to
handle. All the Panthers played
well, with Ray Burgess, Bob Rotter
and Bill McCracken starring for the
losers. Only great goal tending by
McCracken saved the Fairview club
for a worse defeat

BOWLING THEM OVER
By MORT LINDSIV <
A.B.C, Star and Instructor and
Central Press Canadian WrtUr
While it Is true that the strike
ball la more Important to your
•core than the spare ball, lt Is
alto true that spare bowling tails
tor mote cart and science. And
obviously, the bowler who would
compile a respectable score must
be able to get spares aa well at
strikes.
One of tha problems la shifting
your spot on the alley to meat a
particular spire. Some spares, df
course, may be attacked just aa it
you were rolling for a strike. That
Is whan the pins left standing arc

TRICKY COMBINATIONS
But when the combination la 4
and 7, for instance; or 8 and 10,
on the right side of the allay; or
9 and 10, on the right aide in tha
back row—or tiny other of a huh-
dred and one different combinations, then you must do some figuring.
The average bowler, going for a
strike, finds his spot some six to
10 Inches in bom tha right tide
of the alley at the foul line. Now,
we'll say, the 4 and 7 bint are
left standing In a difficult spare.
The chances are that the bowler
will now move hit tppt to the
right side as far as possible on the
foul line to gat the best possible
angle for the straight hill that he
rolls acron tha alley.
It the pint left standing are at
the extreme right of the alley, I'd
advise the average right-hand
bowler to move his spot over about
half way on tha foul Una and again
attack with a straight ball.
One thing you should note tn
spare bowling lt the row or rows
in which the remaining pins are
standing. It they are in the back
row, you must allow for more distance than if the spare it tha 2
or the 3.
I have found many bowlers too
ambitious for their own good in
spare bowling. They try almost
Impossible combinations with the
result that they get no pin whatever.   When you have a 4-6 "rail-

LUCK PLAYS PART
I have always maintained that
luck it an Important factor in
bowling, but sometimes luck plays
tunny tricks.' Only a tew days
ago, I came down to my last ball
with a perfect game of 300 in sight.
On that last ball I'll twear I scored
a perfect hit In the "one-three"
pocket.   But only nine pins drop
ped. The 4 pin trembled a bit but
would hot fall, leaving me with a
tcore of 299-
Luck mutt be with the bowler
In a 300 game, juat at luck mutt
be with a baseball pitcher when
he scores a no-hit shut-out. In
30 years of bowling I have rolled
16 300-games and two of those
came in the same week, tha first
in New York on a Tuesday, the
second In Buffalo on Friday, It
wat about two years after that
before I rolled my next perfect
game.
Fairview Beats
New Grand 5-4
in Junior Game
Losers Hove Most of
Play in Last Two
Periods
Outplayed in most of the second
. and third Jierlodt, the F.A.C. Junior
hockey squad scored.the odd goal
in nine to increase their lead in the
Nelson junior hockey league to four
points, by noting out of the second
place New Grand Hotel Tigen S-4
in a closely contested game played
at the civic arena Saturday evening.
The losers, who lost to the Fair-
view team 7-2 about 10 days ago,
played a much improved game Saturday, and on the run of the play,
deserved at least a tie, but as garnet
are won on goals, the Fairview club
boys copped the honors, with the
two Fairview coachet vastly relieved when the final whistle ended
the game with their team't lead
still intact.
BOTH GOALIES GOOD
George Bishop, In the winners'
coal, was a standout for the F.A.C.
team, as he repeatedly stopped
close-in shots from the New Grand,
players. In the last two periods the
Tigers had nearly a 2-1 edge In
shots on goal, the count being 21-11.
Although he was beaten Mr five
scores, Sam Pasacreta, in the losers'
goal, played a stronger game than
in his last two appearances, and
had tough luck on at least two of
the shots that beat htm.
In the last game between these
two strong Junior squads, the Fair-
view wing men weti rajpeatedly
breaking In on their opponent!'
goal, but on Saturday evening, the
New Grand players watched their
checks much better, and the fair-
view boys got very few open breaks.
Both teams handed out tome terrific body checking, and they were
allowed to get away with too much
rough stuff by Referee Stewle
Piterion, who handled the game
alone, and the players ot both
squads took advantage ot the leniency to get In several Jabbing affrays, with both clubs at fault; Officials of the Tigert objected to
Jack McCracken's alleged holding
tactics.
TJhe mott Improved player on the
two clubs was Gary Bowell, who
displayed some of tha mott effective body checking teen In local
Junior hockey circles for a,long
time. Russell alto showed up strong
on tbe loser's defence. Chuck French
of the winners, and Bert McEwan
led in scoring with two goals each.
Freddy Romano was credited with
two assists.
Right after the face off, there was
a pile-up ia front of the Fairview
goal as George Bishop saved fro*
Taylor arid then stopped Beattie's
rebound. Howard Campbell made
Pasacreta step lively on two hard
shots from wing. Taylor laid down
a close-in pass to Beattie, but it
was blocked by McCreight.
FRENCH OPENS SCORING
At S.31, Chuck French opened the
scoring, when he went down the
wing and Pasacreta was busy
watching the uncovered Mayo on
the other wing, French getting the
shot away as he received a stiff
body check.
In lata than two and a half minutes the Tigers had taken the lead.
Russell laid a pass down to Romano,
but the disk went into the corner.
Romano dashed after it and passed
out to McEwan, who tied the game
up at 0.23. A minute and a half
later, McEwan scored his second
goal, on Bowcll's rebound.
The Fairview players had four
men up for a considerable time, but
no scoring resulted until eight seconds from the end of the period,
When Shule banged Mayo's rebound
past Pasacreta, who had made a
nice save fro* Mayo.
George Bishop was playing a
great game in the Fairview net to
rob McEwan and Romano ot goals.
Chuck French sent the Fairview
team Into the lead at 7.23 when he
sent Hughes' pass from the back
boards into the net.
Taylor got away fast and Bishop
saved a hot one, and then blocked
Beattie's attempt to bang in the
rebound. A few seconds later French
came back fast to rob Romano, who
had got away on a breakaway.
* At 13:45 Pasacreta stopped a shot
'afcom the wing, and with the disc
lying close to the goal line, got his
hand on it just as Morris banged
lt into the net. &mo discussion
took place over the goal, but no
official protest was made. It took
the New Grand players just over a
minute to get the goal back, Stirzaker scoring with a hard shot from
inside the blue line.
SCORE TIED
Three and a half minutes later
the New* Grand team tied the score
With Gore beating Bishop on Roni-
ano's pass.
At the start of the third period.
Mayo get away on one of the tew
timet he waa left uncovered, bul
Pasacreta came out to make a great
save. McCreight stopped Joe Galllcano, and Bishop had a close call
on Romano's close-In shot.
Jack McCracken scored the winning goal at 5:16, he went down
the Wing and sent the disk into
the corter of the net. A Rustajll-to*
Gore play nearly tied up the game
seconds later.
Carl Gallicano made his first
appearance of the season at this
time, and came close to beating
Bishop wl)h a [lip shot from the
blue line. Mayo sent In a long shot
Sat nearly got put Pasacreta, Stan
orris loat nit stick in center Ice,
and got two minutes tor holding the
puck. Although the Tigers set a
fast pace no scoring resulted lrom
the break.
Three minuter, from the end ot the
game Cote gave Romano a neat
pass, that just missed the latter's
stick with Bishop apparently at hit
mercy.

SKI JUMPERS
HOPING GIVE
SHOW SUNDAY
If Snow Continues to
Fall Will Be Able
to Use Hills
With mow filing fairly heavily,
hopes ot Nelson ski jumpers are as
high as their Jump takeoffs. So far
this season tha boys have been able
to make a few jumps on the Fnir-
view ill. At the time ot the previous heavy tnowfill the Jump of
Foeter't ranch, Ymir road, was not
complete, and while considerable
work wat accomplished there was
not sufficient snow to permit "s
use. At the Fairview hill mild weather took off a large part of he
snow on the jumping hill and made
it unsafe.
Monday's mow led to hopes that
there would be sufficient fall by
the end of the week to make jumping good on each ot these hills, rnd
in that event it was planned to
give an exhibition at the Fairview
jump.

CHAPTER 38
Colindale gazed furtively out of
die window at Grinfold, where a
busy scene was going on, for this
was market day. Stalls covered the
cobbled square, and further off pens
were filling up with sheep and
cattle. Farmers and their wives
were busy doing their bit of shopping, and the place presented a
peaceful aspect far removed from
the crime-stained Abbey.
Lady Severinge, who had called
him from London to meet her here
to d|scuss the disapperance of her
children with their governess,
queried petulantly, too, why the
detective had not found her husband's murderer.
"I should have thought that
James was the most likely." he
said vindictively. "They always
say that one has to look for someone who stands to gain by a crime,
and he's feathered his nest all
right."
"Do.,you really think that, Eric,
or is it merely jealousy?" Hilda
asked,
"What about that bell ringing
in the middle of the night?" Eric
exclaimed. "I'd have gone to see
about It, but you wouldn't let me.
Of course, it was Sir Henry ringing, and James answered it-
James who knew he was coming in
for a fortune and had every reason
to get rid of the old man, hoping
that the blame would rest on us.
Surely you can see that. Why did
he stay on? Why is he there now?"
Colindale   was   becoming   excited
attefMjBpM.a'
with his own tale, and Hilda's eyes
opened with horror.
"Why don't you tell this 'to the
detective?" she asked.
"It's only since I left,and have
hid time for thinking .that I
worked this out. Tne affair took
us all on the hip, and things moved
so rapidly that I didn't grasp the
meaning,"
"You'll tell Mr. Selden?"
"What evidence have I got?" he
asked crossly. "And tell me another thing. What had Sir Henry
and James been to each other In
the past?"
"Whatever do you mean?"
"You are not a fool, Hilda," he
said rudely. "You surely kna»w
that James was no more a butler
than I was—he ran the whole
show, and that oily manner of his
was all put on. They had been together for years before Sir Henry's
father died."
"Then, Eric, Isn't that all the
more reason why I should leave?
Don't you care about my safety?"
"I don't think there is likely to
be any danger to you," he said
roughly. "Why should there be?
You haven't got anything to leave
to James, and he could kick you
out at any time if he wanted to.'
"Eric, that's not very nicely expressed. I was going to suggest
lhat we shorten the time, and that
we should get married. That
would give you the right to protect me and to live at the Abbey,
as the children would be your
slop-daughters."
"A nice scandal there would be,"
he    sneered.    "At.    prrsenl.    only

James and the lawyer know
anything about our affairs, but
you'd set every tongue wagging,
and very likely cause suspicion—
you know what a village is. A
jealous husband can be dangerous-—" He stopped abruptly,
and an ugly look came to his face,
"I'll have a talk with James. . .,
No, Hilda, it would never do for us
to get married yet. It's just because you are scared, but if you
like, I'll come down and look into
things., You see, that fellow Reid
being laid up will give me an ex'
cuse to visit the estate while he's
ill."
"I'm so glad. You'll come back
with me today?"
"No, I can't very well do that—
I've got some engagements I can't
cut, and, besides, it would look
fishy it I turned up at once."
A tortured smile came to Hilda's
fi^ce. "Eric,..are you playing the
game? You told me you were going to visit some friends in Scotland What are you doing in London?"
He forced a smile, and, took
Hilda's ' htad. "Jealous, little girl?
As a anatter of fact, you are quite
on. the wrong track., I have to see
Mrs. Thornton tonight. She's
coming up to look for a new situation. You needn't be jealous of
her, but she wrote me a wild letter
—I believe she was trying to to-.
plicate me in the murder—and I'm
going to find out if she can tell me
anything about James. She may
have valuable information—she
would sell."
Hilda knew Colindale only too
well. A flash of intuition came to
her with crushing force. She drew
her hand away and stood up,
faring the man.
"Eric! Don't tell me that you
have sunk so low as to contemplate blackmail—you and that
wretched woman together."
"Whatever put that absurd
thought in your head?"
"You are going to attempt to
blackmail James, to get money
from him in order to keep your
mouths shut about what you think
you know."
"If you think that," he said indifferently, "it's a wonder you want

to marry me."
"Erie," she cried passionately,
"I'm all alone now. I've made a
hell of my life—the children hate
m*—I deceived my husband, and it
you are going to dessert me I shall
make an end of it"
"Now you are getting hysterical.
Hilda," be said, with a note of
alarm in his voice. "I've told you
I will come down to the Abbey
soon. Isn't that enough? You
must give me time. You can say
that you wrote to me asking me
to come and see about the estate,'
He ordered lunch, and with food
and drink, for she had touched
nothing that day, her poise was
partially restored.
Colindale laid himself out to be
kind, a- he could when he liked,
and discussed the future when this
dark cloud. should have passed
away. He exercised the same fascination over, her weak mind as he
had done so' fatally in the past,
and she almost persuaded herself
that he was the strong, clean man
who had only erred through love
of her, something that woman will
always condone.
With a brighter outlook, and in
his company, she felt calmer, and
they spent the afternoon gaily
enough, walking round the market
and amusing themselves with the
various games at a fair that had
been set up. .She saw him off at
the station and it was late when
she caught the bus back to Evenden
Tired, she reached the gloomy
Abbey,
"Mr, Selden, the detective, i:
here, you ladyship," James an
nounced when he had unfastened
the great door and admitted Lady
Severinge. "He has been waiting
to see you."
"I am very glad," she said truth'
fully, "a^nd how is Mr. Reid?"
"Still in bed, m'lady, and with a
high fever, but the doctor thinks
that it is shock and the injection
he gave him."
"There is no news, I suppose?"
She asked the question drearily
knowing  that James would have

"Dinner is ready when you wish
for it, and I ventured to lay for
two, thinking you might care to
have Mr. Selden with you to talk
over matters."
"That is very thoughtful of you,
James. I shall have to talk over
things with you shortly — this
question of the children. You see,
it makes my position here rather
ambiguous."
"I hope most sincerely that you
will not worry utauiit that, m'lady.
I can asMiifa you that as long as I
am ha'io il. will be my pleasure and
a privilege to cuiitinue to look
afln your interests, which I know
was  my   lale masters intentions."
And this was the man, Hilda
thought bitterley. iliat Eric was
accusing of murder,
Selden's presence reassured her.
She was' genuinely glad to have
him in the house and his open,
pleasant face had a soothing effect
on her jaded nerves. Lady Severinge felt that here was a man who
could be trusted, and whose judgment was sound. She found that
he was a man of wide reading and
culture and could talk well. He
studiously avoided any mention of
the dark business in which he was
engaged, and confined himself to
talk of a general nature.
When James had left them, for
he had Insisted on waiting upon
them   himself,   she  fetched  cigars

for Selden from a cupboard in the
oak panelling and lighted a cigarel
herself.
"And now that we are alone,
Mr. Selden. can you throw any light
on this business at all?"
"I was going to ask you the same
question, Lady Severinge," he said
gravely. "Please don't think I want
to probe into your private life or
take up the past, but I am sure
that you can help me if you care
to."
"In what way?" Her hand
shook as she spoke, and a frightened look came to her eyes.
Selden smiled at her, and shook
his head. "That is not much use,"
he said. "It is either confidence,
sincerely given and respected by
me, or it is useless to talk."

'MOST ENJOYABLE WEEK'DECLARE
VANCOUVER CURLERS OF THE BIG
BONSPIEL CONCLUDED AT TRAIL
Believe Kootenays Are
Developing Some
Great Curlers
By ART JOY
TRAIL, B.C., Jan. 25—A group of
Vancouver curlers who remained in
the city until the conclusion of the
42nd annual British Columbia curling association left the city Sunday morning and during their travel
in a special coach from Trail to
Castlegar, were accompanied by a
representative of the Nelson Daily
News.
Parting words about the city, its
people, curlers, the hospitality enjoyed and like remarks follow.
S. S. Crowe, president of the Vancouver Curling club for the current
term  commented:
"The 42nd annual bonspiel was a
wonderful success and it gave me—
and I am sure I speak the same for
my colleagues—the most enjoyable
week of my life. I have previously
enjoyed good curling and all the
good fellowship that goes hand in
hand with it; but I never found it
quite so necessary to loosen up as
I did on this occasion. Vancouver
curlers, with boastful pride, were
particularly successful; and "damn-
edably" lucky.
KOOTENAIAN8 GOOD
"The Kootenays are developing excellent curlers and we now assume
the attitude to 'hold what we have',
we must maintain and improve our
standard of curling."
Commenting upon curling within
the province generally, Mr. Crowe
emphasized that the potential success of the association's annual
bonspiel was dependent upon assistance rendered by larger clubs to the
smaller and more obscure organizations.
"For the sake of competition alone
this expedient service must be administered'', he continued.
LEEK IS ADAMANT
"Walter Leek, president of the
Canadian Pacific Exhibition association is one of our most enthusiastic
exponents of curling and has been
prominent in encouraging outside
clubs to attend the annual provincial 'spiel. Mr. Leek is one of those
Vancouver men who realizes the
mutual benefits of bringing into
closer hairmony thc coast cities and
the interior.
Mr. Crowe is of the opinion that
about 80 per cent of all curlers in
Vancouver live within one distict of
the city. That means an eight mile
drive to the forum to curl. His idea
to cope with the situation is to have
divisional curling rinks.
HATS OFF TO TRAIL
Mr. Crowe paid particular tribute to A. M. Chesser, president,
and G. F. Reimann, secretary-treasurer of tlie B.C. association for their
multitudinous considerations. Every
Vancouver curler was emphatic in
his praise of the sportsmanship and
hospitality of Trail citizens.
Roily David, who copped the
British Consols trophy, felt that approximately 2800 curlers had at
some time belonged to the Vancouver club and considered it a
marvelous thing if all could be organized into divisional curling clubs
referring to Mr. Crowe's comment
about the Vancouver situation.
George W. Norgan, vice-president
of the Vancouver Curling club and
chairman of the Pacific Coast bon
spiel, which is being run off at Van
couver February 15 to 20, inclusively
said:
"I am vitally interested in curling
as a game of sport out of which
there is a great deal of fascination
to be gotten. With such a thought
as this in mind, I might add that it
is this feeling which predominates
in our Vancouver club that will
inevitably make Vancouver a mecca
for just such affairs. This feeling
also is in outstanding evidence in
Trail. It is the force which makes
possible such sports.
"The good sportsmanship and fel
lowship achieved from the game
itself and that grand hospitality
which usually prevails, assists in
impeding a stagnant condition
which otherwise would establish
itself too soon. By the way, we
expect some Trailites at our 'spiel."
LIKES NELSON CENTRE
Mr. Norgan expressed vital Interest in Nelson's civic centre and the
wish to inspect it at some future
date.
CURLING  CAPERS
Did Ossie Shore sleep neck up
in a bath tub during his stay in
Trail? . . . Roily David wished to
know . . . Surely it couldn't have
been Dad Bowyer who headed the
last roundup . . . outstanding expression was—"if we had got down
to business—" ... reply was—"there
was no business" . . . Dad Tinling
played in Macdonald Brier competitions at Vancouver, in 1921 in fact,

some are very good scullers . . .
Bill Wood was in a crew comprising

losing to Third Trinity, Cambridge.
England. Switzerland was third and
France fourth (just in case you have
forgotten) ... we have it on the
best authority that "Mac" Braden
made 91 draws to the button with
an outurn and one with an lntuni

of many a grand jesture . . . Dave
Garnham finally had to ask: "if all
Scotsmen were in Trail and Nelson?" ... it was suggested that if
there were many J.B.s in Vancouver
there would be sufficient good
good Scotsmen . . . George Norgan.
Archie Black, Roily David and Vic
Brown may comprise the team to
represent B.C. in the Macdonald
Brier competition at Toronto . . .
but two more probably will go
along . . . Ossie Shore as trainer
and a mascot collie pup nicknamed
by Dad Whalen, "Castlegar" . . .
Dad Bowyer revealed the fascination which has held him to curling
for 40 odd years ... we quote him:
"Fascination is not the word. Curling is an honest clean sport and a
gentleman's game. There should be
greater encouragement given to
younger men in order that the game
will always be preserved" . . .

When the Ymir boy got to his feet

SOUTH WELCOMES BREAK
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25 (AP)-
A forecast of continued moderate
temperatures camo opportunately
tonight for citrus fruit growers faced with shortage of orchard heater
fuel, which already,is a probable
$10,000,000 item in losses from January freezes estimated as high as
$60,000,000.
Tonight's forecast anticipated temperatures about the same as last
night, of which the lowest reported
was 35 degrees. Little additional damage was believed to have occurred.
Forecasters said a new "cold
front" was hovering over Alaska regions and might move on here.
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 25 (AP)—
A drenching rain scattered the last
remnants of snow in Portland today and brought cheer to health
workers who regarded it as their
greatest ally in combatting the recent outbreak of "flu".
Only 57 new cases were registered
officially here today. The death list
in the current wave was augmented
by three. Pneumonia has resulted
fatally to 21 persons in the past
week,
That influenza is still prevalent
was attested to by figures showing
only 40,000 children registered for
the winter school term, compared
with 47,500 a year ago.
SPOKANE, Jan. 25 (AP)—City
firemen are taking their own water
to fires they answer these days.

cold snap that saw temperatures go
as low as 20 below zero. Fire Chief
William Payne commandeered two
1500-gallon tank trucks, which respond to alarms in the Hillyard and
Manito sections of the city.
A temperature of 28 degrees above
zero, at 2 p.m., warmest since Jan.
4, indicated thc sub-zero wave may
be passing.
