K. Esling, member for Kootenay West told the house of commons today that the people of Canada were being strangled by a monopoly which controlled not only the manufacture, but the importation of radios.

MORE ABOUT ESLING DEMANDS (Continued From Page One) Mr. Esling cited the case of other importers who were likewise" required to pay damages and to sign undertakings not to repeat the offence. One British Columbia firm was threatened with a damage suit in the sum ol $2500 and had to compromise. A Winnipeg firm received a shipment of- radios from the States, paid the duty and received a clearance but before the shipment was unpacked they were, threatened by the holding company and , compelled to enter into an agreement to pay 10 per cent on all sets sold, pay all legal fees and agree not to further import, Mr. Esling insisted that the government take immediate "steps to remedy these conditions. He declared that there was no necessity to refer the matter to the courts but that the minister, under the patent act, had power to break the monopoly. He told the government that practices -such as these were responsible, more than anything else, for an atmosphere of discontent, shaking public confidence and undermining the security of responsible government Mr. Esling also urged that industry across Canada could relieve the distressed condition of youth by adopting the npprentice system in use at Trail, and urged that hundreds of youn„ men would eagerly grasp the opportunity for training as pilots, engineers, surveyors, mechanics, ground men -nd every other branch of aviation. OPEN FEDERAL BUILDINGS TO BLIND The West Kootenay member also urged the government to permit the Canadian National institute for the blind to establish concession stands in federal buildings throughout Canada. He said these stands were built subject to the approval of the Dominion architect. They were stocked by the Canadian National institute for the blind with papers, periodicals, tobacco and like, merchandise and placed in charge of a blind attendant This attendant was given all the net profits, with the execption of three per cent, which was deduced for depreciation. and for keeping equipment in shape. Mr. Esling said there were 200 such stands in provincial and private office buildings across Canada, but that the federal government had not granted consent for placing them in federal buildings. He said such stands would provide employment for hundreds of sightless young men, and that the United States had recently adopted the system inaugurated by the Canadian National institute for the blind, and had employed the Canadian placement officer,^who is also blind, to supv- intend this work. In addition the United States government had donated a generous grant to get the work under way, Mr. Esling concluded his address by urging the government to accept his bill, which would exempt hotels, restaurants, lodge halls, stores, skating rinks and other places from the payment of fees for the use of music in public places. Such fees are now collected under the Copyright act by the Canadian Performing Rights society.

It is unfortunate that during the winter months, most-women are Inclined to neglect their exercise. Skating is a most enjoyable sort ot exercise for a girl who wants to keep an attractive figure. And daily calisthenics and dancing les- . sons, too, stimulate the circulation during these dull, drab winter months. In summer, a woman usually obtains a fair amount of exercise because ol the sports in which she Indulges. But during the winter she remains indoors, and, as a result, her circulation grows sluggish and her beauty loses its freshness and sparkle.

Bromine . . . Mineral Drugs' Discovery Has Been Valuable .By L08AN CLENDENING, M.D. About 400 years ago there walked Into the lecture hall of the ancient university of Basel, Switzerland, a strange, even fantastic personage, who proceeded to lecture on medicine and medicines in terms that his hearers had never before heard. He said that all the other physicians in the world were ignorant fools and knaves. He said that everything in the old textbooks from which other professors taught was false, and proceeded to burn, in the presence of his audience, the works of Galen and Avicennn. He said that Galen especially erred when he advocated the use of plants as medicine, because the only substances that were truly healing were the minerals—suphur, mercury and salt. The new professor's name was Paracelsus, and while we do not agree with all the extreme statements he made, he did us the great service of putting minerals into our theapeutic armamentarium. Today we moke no rules about what we shall use for medicinal purposes, except the rule that it has the property of changing the functions of the body in a beneficial manner. The way in which different minerals came to be found useful is a fascinating series of stories. Epsom salts, for instance, was so named because a well on Epsom Downs is practically saturated with them. The farmers on the downs thought the well was poisonous be cause the cattle refused to drink it, but one day a stranger not knowing its reputation, drank some and found that it had immediate cathartic actions. Since then it has been used throughout the world, probably more than any other drug. DI8COVERS BROMINE In 1826 ,a pharmacist in Mont- pellier, France, discovered a brown residue -in the salt mined there. He experimented with it and found it was a new element, bromine, which had important physiologic actions in the body as a nerve sedative. Even the desert regions of the earth—arid and uninviting as they are — yield us valuable mineral drugs. Iodine, one of the best of antiseptics when applied to open wounds, is found in the great nir trate beds of northern Chile, and can be found there only because the rainfall is so scanty that they are not washed away. Many other mineral compounds justify the work of the old bom bastic doctor, Paracelsus, of long ago. We may be glad that he did not turn from medicine, as he threatened to do in his young student days. He had determined to give up the study of physic entirely when his eyes fell upon the words of the Gospel, "They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick," QUESTIONS FROM REAREDS MRS. F. L.: "My 17-year-old son works in a gas station after school. He has been told that he can get lead poinsoning from having the tctra-ethyl gas come in contact with his pores." Answer: I know of no instance in which tetra-ethyl has caused lead poisoning by absorption from the skin, but it is not impossible, and I would advise caution in allowing it to remain on the hands for any length of time. This can be avoided by wearing rubber gloves or by'carefully washing the hands after contact.

VIRTUALLY ALL parents wish their children would'not smoke before reaching maturity. Many of us parents wish our children might never smoke. Smoking costs money, and can have no scientific defence from the angle of health. Certainly it is harmful to the growing child. Some parents decide lhat their children SHALL NOT smoke. Then when these children do anyway there are serious parent-child conflicts, sometimes ending in grave tragedies. Indeed, some conscientious parents are so unbending in the matter that they not only lose the battle to keep the child from smoking but, still worse, they lose the child also. It has always seemed to me to be much wiser to keep the child who smokes than to lose him. And once he begins to smoke in secret and is found out, no kind of coercion is likely to make him quit smoking. Why do so many parents tail to observe this fact? The hope we have as parents is to keep him from his first clandes tine smoking. Love and prayers work better to this end than lecturing punishments. As a rule, the child who smokes in secret does other undesirable things in secret. It is almost certain evidence of an unhealthy parent-child relationship. The problem facing many parents is not the boy or girl in high school but the child, especially the boy, from 12 to 14.. In some com fortable communities many of these youngsters smoke a great deal without their parents knowing it. And when, at last, it is discovered by the parents, there is much vain lecturing, punishing and other waste of emotion. COMPANIONSHIP NEEDED Closer companionship by the parents with the child, especially closer father-son companionship, Scouting and the like are good prevention measures, floys who have good tools and books ahd place for fun at home, whose friends come often to their home for wholesome good times; boys who feel very worthy in a happy family, are less tempted to smoke. If the father who doesn't smoke is greatly esteemed by his boy, this boy is less likely to smoke early or at all. If the father who does smoke also has a strong hold on his boy, he is usually able to induce this lad to delay smoking to later years. Parents will be most sue cessful if they make their appeal for delay, waiting till grown up, but who don't command the child not to smoke, Indeed, there is nothing much more futile than to command the child about anything we cannot check personally. Once the child has begun to smoke, the first objective is to win him to choose to quit. Failing in this attempt, the next objective is to induce him to set a very low limit to the frequency of his smoking. If you know he will smoke anyway, regardless of his age, it were better for nim to do it before your eyes than in a secret place.

By VIRGINIA LEE A young man by the name of LUKE has written me and this is his very unusual problem: He is very much In love with a girl who seems to be an ideal sweetheart and wife. She loves him just as much as he loves her, and their future would, I am sure', be a happy one lt it were not for his poor health. She is looking forward to it and planning tor their home and children: Poor Luke never yet has been able to tell his girl friend that a physician has told him that his health will never be good, "The doctor said when she has children every one will be born sickly and will suffer just like me., And he also said it will take up all ot her time caring for a sick husband, and' she will be very much disappointed in married life." ' Luke cannot bear to have any other man have his girl, and he can't bear to break this news to his sweet girl friend. He wishes he could die in his sleep because he is going through so much, and he wonders if there is anyone among our readers, who has anything like this to endure. Of course you give me no inkling of your disease—if you have a particular trouble, Luke. So many ills that once were considered hopeless are now being treated and cured, that you should not take one doctor's diagnosis and give up hope. I do think the girl ydu love should know about your state of health. She could help you fight tor It, and just talking it over with her would help you and give you peace of mind. Doctors are human beings, you know, and are sometimes mistaken, Go to another, and then another and another, tt necessary, and try to get all the latest advice on whatever your trouble Is. And keep up your courage. That Is more than hall the battle. Of course I do not know about your condition, but Unless you have an incurable and inheritable disease that would be transmitted to your offspring I certainly would not despair. HILDA AND FRENCHY: Am I right in suspecting that one person wrote the two letters which reached me at the same time, or that you two together composed these wonderful epistles? However It may be, I am no mind reader or prophetess So cannot tell you the state of mind of the men you love. And, moreover, I feel you are trying to flimflam me. Seems sort of a waste of time for you to write such letters, and for me to answer, isn't it? A soft anwer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger- Proverbs 15:1.

A Case for 3 Detectives By LEO BRUCE READ THIS FIRST: Alex.Norris.'a writer who objects to detective stories, is theorizing on the subject ot crime fiction, during a week-end party at the home of Dr. Thurston, near London. Other guests are Townsend, the author; Williams, the family lawyer, and Strickland, a sportsman. Mrs. Thurston Is the only woman present. Towsend observes that Mrs. Thurston appears strangely flushed after a conversation with Fellowes, the chauffeur. Mr. Rider, the vicar, Is another guest for dinner. Strickland begs to be excused, saying he desires to retire early. CHAPTER 4 I did not notice the time when Strickland retired, but I have since calculated from later events that it was about half-past 10. The next to get up was Alec Norris. He had threatened to break up the game at the end of the next rubber, He had been playing with Thurston, Williams and me, while the Vicar and Mary Thurston had been talking with some intontness where they sat together on the settee. "You would like to join the game, Mrs. Thurston," the Vicar said, "and it Is quite time I started to walk home." "It's not very far, Rider," Thurston remarked politely, though I don't think anyone was sorry. ."No. I shall go through the orchard. Be home in five minutes." And protesting his gratitude for a pleasant evening, he took himself off. We did play one more rubber, but it was not very successful, for Mary Thurston was a poor'player, and Sam Williams, who was her partner, was Inclined to take his bridge seriously. And we finished it just as the clock in the hall struck 11. "No,". Mary Thurston said, "no more, really. I'm making poor Mr. Williams miserable. Besito, 11 o'clock ij,my bedtime." Tnat was quite true. Like a little child, Mary Thurston had her fixed hour for retiring .and if she stayed up beyond.lt, did so always with a sense of guilt. I could remember her often enough In the p_st standing up when she had heard that chime, kissing her husband, and bidding us good night with an ingenuous, even rather babyish smile. She left the three ot us, Williams, Thurston and me, to pour ourselves out a very welcome whiskey. Looking back on that night I remember with gratitude that from then until the ... until the tragedy, I remained with the other two. None of us stirred from the room. Our staying there talking-saved us, as you will see, from a great deal ot Interrogation and unpleasantness. Once I remembered a letter which I had left in my overcoat pocket, and thought for a moment of fetching it I actually crossed the room and opened the door, but fortunately at that moment Williams asked me some question which it interested me to answer, and I went no farther. I have cause enough to be glad of it. Before leaving us, Mary Thurston had turned on the radio, and though none of us was exhilarated by the efforts of a popular dance band to provide entertainment for Great Britain, we 'did not actually turn it off. It made an uninteresting undertone to our conversation. Since I was on my feet, however, I had thought of switching It off, and should have done so before sitting down. But I paused to answer Williams' question, and it was during that pause that we heard the first scream. So much of the subsequent Inquiry depended on time, that I should like to have been able to fix this precisely, but I can do no more than say that it must have"! been at about a quarter past 11. I hed closed the door again, and was returning to the other two by the fireside. Now you must know I have no wish to chill your blood or emphasize the gruesome aspects of this affair. But I do ask you to imagine the effect of that Interruption. We were In the cozy firelight of an autumn evening, quietly sipping our whiskey, in a cheerful friendly house. We. knew each other and diiniL foJL dtoimwwsiL By MR8. MARY MORTON Menu Mint Crackers Tomato Juice Cocktail Buttered Buns. Broiled Hamburgers Sliced Spanish Onions Creamed Potatoes Pickles Olives Pickled Pears Celery Lettuce Ice Cream Cake Coffee Candy Salted Nuts This is a menu I used when 1 entertained six people I know quite well for an informal dinner. The crackers I served with the tomato juice I warmed before serving so that they were crisp. The rolls were also wanned and buttered, and each person made his or her own hamburger with whatever ingredients they preferred. I had mustard too, for those who like It with hamburgers. I'm suggesting this menu because It " went over big", and it is easy on the hostess who does her own cooking. One lot of meat patties wtere broiled while the buns were warmed and the potatoes browned In the oven, then while we were eating the first, the second helpings were broiling. I forgot to say I also had jam on the table. The lettuce and onions were, of course, all ready to be used in the sandwiches. I did not serve tomato with the meat and buns as the fresh ones 'are expensive at this time of year, and we had. the tomato juice ai first course. I made a cake tor the dessert and also scrvard some of the Christmas fruit cake. TODAY'8 RECIPE PRESTO CAKE — M»H one- fourth cup butter or oleomargarine in a measuring cup.

DURITY FLOUR the household well. There had been nothing to arouse even the faintest presentiment ot evil or misfortune. We were normal English people In a very ordinary house. And suddenly, from just over our heads it seemed, came that long, horrifying woman's' cry of terror. It was the shock ot it which seemed to stun me. Not the actual sound o. Its Implications, but the sudden shock. Almost before we had jumped to our feet there was another, and a third followed it, but the bird was the most hideous of all, for lt died slowly out ot our hearing. By that time we had made for the staircase. Thurston was firsi "Mary!" he shouted, and in spite of his weight he bounded upstairs like a frightened boy. I do not know- how many seconds it took us to reach the door of Mary Thurston's room. But that it was seconds, and not minutes, not even one minute, I am certain. At the door stood Alec Norris, the writer. But the door was locked. At first we threw our shoulders against it. Then Williams, pressing first the top, then the bottom of it, shouted, "Bolted! In two places. Smash the panel in, Thurston." Thurston • was still, heaving his weight blindly at the door, and it was I who picked up a solid wooden chair which stood on the landing, and drove it through the upper, panel. And through the jagged gap I caught a glimpse ot the room, and of something in it which was horrible, and yet which gave me none of the astounded shock which the screams had given me. I suppose they had made me expect lt. For what I saw was the dim outline of Mary Thurston's face on a pillow which was more crimson than white, and I knew at once that she had been murdered. Before we could enter, however, it was necessary to smash in a lower panel as well, for the door was tall, and, as Williams had said, bolted at top and bottom. I myself leaned through the broken woodwork and pulled back those bolts. And lest it should be doubted later, let me say quite clearly now that each was driven home securely. Indeed, it took me several seconds to get the lower one back at all. When I had done that, and while I was standing up to turn the handle, Thurston pushed past us into the room. And as he did so I became aware that we had been joined by two others. My whole conscious attention was concentrated on the room before us, so that it was. only as it were from the corner of my mind that I perceived Strickland standing there beside us, and Fellowes on the staircase which rose from beyond Mary Thurston's door to the second floor. At what moment they had arrived I did not, do not, know, But I am certain that neither was there when we had first reached the landing, and that neither had appeared when I stepped back to pick up the chair. In other words, neither was on the sjene within a . minute of- the screams, though both had arrived ire Much Fancier Than Formerly NEW YORK. Feb. 9 (AP)- Men will think women's hat styles are right back where they were last generation, for behold, the hat pin is here again! Hat pins like those which adorned the American scene In the horse and buggy days appeared on some new spring bonnets shown last night to 1500 fashion experts.

"Flowers are fashionable, oS are veils. So are chin-straps." soon after that. And now we t ere peering in at that doorway. We stood there, the four ot us, as though we had been warned to respect the room. We stood, and saw what Thurston saw, and observed his movements. There was only a reading lamp alight in the room, but it was not too heavily shaded tor us to see the whole Interior. Across the bed lay Mary Thurston, fully dressed. But it was the pillow on which her head lay which drew our horrified stare, the pillow and her throat. For the pillow, as I had already seen, was stained hideously with scarlet, and across her throat, her fat white throat, there was a still ghastlier scar. But once again I do not wish to be unnecessarily harrowing. It is sufficient to say that when Thurston told us in a choking voice that she was dead, we did not speak or move, for we had known what his words must be. Sam Williams kept his head. "Don't move," he said to us who stood in the doorway. "He must be in there." And he reached for the light switch, and snapped it down. This, however, had no result, and I was conscious of a slight relief. Any further light on that scene would have been too merciless.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1938 RESUMPTION OF PIRACY NOT UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT Resumption of the piracy campaign in the Mediterranean will occasion no surprise. For many months it has been apparent that there is a close connection between events in the Far East and those in the West, and now, when Britain is concerned for her position and possessions in China, is an opportune time for Mussolini to make hay in Europe. It was Britain's difficulties in Europe that encouraged Japan to be so high-handed in the Pacific. There is also the fact that the position of France in Europe is not so strong as it was and the other fact that the Loyalists in Spain are putting up a much better fight than was expected of them. In this latter fact there is comfort for the foes of Fascism, but disquiet for the friends of peace. It may be taken for granted that if the Loyalists establish a prospect of ultimate victory, Mussolini will be into the business again with both feet. Commenting on conditions, Senator Borah says the world "has gone mad" and that the reason is the general belief that Britain and the United States are arming in concert. This is hardly a correct diagnosis. One-half of the world is trying to remain sane and the other half had shown maniacal tendencies long before America, and even before Britain, had begun to rearm. In both countries the rearming programs were undertaken independently and they are being carried on independently. That the representatives of the two countries have consulted is not to be questioned—the interests of both are imperilled by the growing spirit of aggression—but that they are cooperating, while it may be suspected by outsiders, is not indicated by the facts. The recent fate of the proposal to cooperate in arming China—a proposal which the United States found it impossible to approve— shows that independence of action is still the rule in Washington. This event, by the way, shows how foolish it was to blame Simon on the ground that he did not cooperate with the United States to save Manchuria.. The plain fact, known to Simon and to Stimson, and proved beyond doubt by later happenings, is that neither Stimson nor any other American representative had power to promise United States adherence to any plan of action. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge n by what we have already done. —Longfellow. CECIL RHODES"OXFORD BOYS What has become of the young men who reached Oxford University by way of the Rhodes Scholarships? There are so many of these now, in different countries, that the question is of more than ordinary interest. They were youths of considerable promise, selected because of good character and high standing in their school work. A Rhodes Scholarship was—and still is—a mark of distinction. It is well known that a thought uppermost in Cecil Rhodes's mind when establishing these scholarships was the preparation of youth for leadership in public affairs. The world has had no greater need. How has the plan worked out in this respect? There is available information regarding Rhodes Scholars in the United States, now 870 in number. Writing in Scribner's Magazine, Milton Mac- kaye follows the careers of these men. Evidently the academic strain dominates their activities, as 289 are teaching in universities or colleges, 28 occupying important administrative posts, while 27 are similarly engaged in secondary schools. The rest are found in business, in the profession, in appointive government positions, in the army and the navy, and so on. None in the cabinet; none in the senate—and one in the house of representatives. Regarding 13 of these Rhodes men nothing is known; and there should be another story in that. While these men are doing important work, they cannot be regarded as giving leadership in the public affairs of the coutry. Naturally, university men are keenly interested in education; in the academic life. But Cecil Rhodes was far from academic in character, He was a man of action; a leader of men and movements; a man easily irritated by delay. He "sketched with large, impatient hand," and left to others the filling in of details. Cecil Rhodes was not above thinking that men such as he were needed in the rough-and-tumble business of directing public affairs, but, in the United States, at any rate, a main purpose of the scholarships has not been achieved. Despite this condition — which probably would be a disappointment to Rhodes—the scholarships have worked for the benefit of humanity. For example, nearly 900 Oxford men in the United States, in Whatever work they are engaged, must exert an influence toward better understanding between the peoples of Britain and the Republic — which, after all, is a form cf leadership in a good cause. And it is interesting to note that "actually today there are more Englishmen resident on scholarships in America than there are Rhodes students at Oxford"—which also should make for closer association between the two countries. The diminutive chains of habit are seldom heavy enough to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. —Johnson. NELSON DAILY NEWS, NELSON. B. -.-THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 10, 1M8.

CONTRACT BRIDGE As Written by SHEPARD BARCLAY UMrnNG rorjR losses WHEN YOU hold the ace, Jack and ten of a suit, you are In danger of losing two tricks if the king and queen sit over that combination with an extra card to guard them. Even with that situation, you can limit your losses to one trick In the suit if you get that opponent into a position which compels him, after winning one trick, to lead the suit back to you, or leave him no alternative except to lead some other suit which will afford you a "ruff and discard" because you are void in both hands, each possessing one or more trumps.

Three rounds of trumps followed and then the heart 10 was finessed, losing the Q. The diamonds A and K- were casrBd and a club returned, winch South won with the A. Having lost three tricks, South hoped the second heart Unease would be successful. When his hopes were not realized, he found himself one trick short of his contract. As lt was quite evident that the two losing diamonds would be cashed as soon as the opponents gained the lead, South had a sure way to make his contract. After winning the first club trick and drawing trumps, a club to the A should have followed and then a club ruff. Now the diamond 10 should have been offered, which East would have won. After cashing ' the other winning diamond, East would have had to return a diamond or a heart, and South would have lost only-three tricks. • • • Tomorrow's Problem ♦ Q10 •JJ98- ♦ «* ♦KQ97 2. ♦ J9842rjv. ♦ 052 + 03 s. ♦ 7683 VQ83 ♦ K109 + A84 ♦ AX f K75 ♦ AQJ7J 4.J-0D (Dealer: North, Neither side vulnerable.)

In no case will the name at the person asking the question be published. Q. K„ Cranbrook—Is it within the law to evict, during the winter, a tenant who has refused to pay rent for a house for lour months? While there appears to be a general idea that a landlord cannot evict a tenant during the winter months, we have never been able to quite know where this idea arose, In any event there is no law or statute within the province of British Columbia to this effect. It is possible that in some ot the prairie provinces there are laws or statutes to this effect, and for that reason this general idea is prevalent. There is nothing, however, to prevent a landlord from taking the proper proceedings in (his province at any time during the year to evict a tenant in the event of there being a default which would give rise to the right to, evict. W. L. G., Trail—Can you tell me whether it was Daniel or Noah Webster who compiled the dictionary?

After Rossland played the Trail Juveniles at Trail Monday night; and Castlegar coming to Rossland on Tuesday, the Nelson Juveniles are booked to appear in Rossland Thursday to tangle with the locals, but there seems to be just a little doubt as to whether Nelson will appear here as scheduled, lor they lound it necessary to call oft their last booking. Rossland Juniors are not faring so well as the Juveniles, but are improving rapidly with competition, giving Ross's Trail Juniors plenty of trouble in order to stay ahead in their first Junior league encounter last Wednesday at Trail. Wish I could give you some good news about Rossland's entry in the W. K. H. L. A headline like this would- look good now: "Rossland Miners are threatening to take over first place in the West Section of the League." But such an event is now impossible. They play their first tonight in Kimberley on their second trip ol the cast section clubs with little hope of chalking up wins. One executive member of the Miners felt like locking the doors, he said, and having the rest of the games booked for Ro.sland played in camera, after the meagre attendance for last Thursday's Coleman game, Well, perhaps some other year, with a new rink in the once most famous hockey town in the west, Rossland's team may be able to break the jinx of only three wins in one season.

It is a mystery to me why more people do not avail themselves of the opportunity to see some of these exciting and really thrilling games of basketball. There is a nominal charge for these games, but the Legion hall is now well heated and comfortable, and, without exaggeration the games are of the calibre that any enthusiast of sport would get a kick out of. "Bunny" Dame ol the Trail Smoke Eaters kind ol beat me to the draw by turning in a bang-up performance against Coleman last Friday night before I had a chance to get my column in, and thereby spoiled one of my uncanny predictions, which I was all set to make. I have had faith in "Bunny's" ability Irom the start ot the season, and as he is now realizing that the main object ol the game is to get down there and score a goal, rather than how, or what he loolfs like getting them, he should prove a valuable assistance to the Smoke Eaters in the play-offs. Glen Vickers, crosse player a hockey and la- rfoi who performed Rossland, and later in Nelson, is getting some good publicity as a member of the Portland Buckaroos, and many local fans and others wonder if the coaches and managers in this district know a hockey player when they see one. Though Glen was a lair player, he was hardly of professional calibre, as any critic would readily admit. He has a nice style and a good shot, and is an amiable and regular fellow, but perhaps he has a pro player's temperament, and perhaps Andy Aitken- head and Bert Scharte, members of the Buckaroos and friends of Glen's from Saskatoon, together with Coach Bobby Howe, decided that they needed another man, and that Vickers was plenty good enough. THE HARDEST 8P0RT Which is thehardestsport to mas- you wil.. . is the toughest to learn, and so do ter, hockey or lacrosse? answer. Most of know your ou will say hockey I, but I ran into three fellows in Rossland who were too hard for me to crack in this respect. It was a case of three to one, and I, being a rather shy and modest hombre, had very little chance against such a notable trio of sports authorities as "Rocky" Davies, coach of the Rossr land Lacrosse club, George Wilson, manager of Rossland's brilliant band of basketballers, and J. Gidinski, goalie of Rossland's lacrosse team, but I am taking advantage of my position and saying that you have to grow up with a hockey stick and skates to be able to play good hockey, while you can learn to play lacrosse as long as you are able to show a burst of speed now and then. For example, you have Hugh Miller, who was an oi-tstandinz player, and the captain ol lask year's Trail lacrosse team. He played no lacrosse, to speak of before last season. Also Curly Wheatley, who is doing a lot of refereeing in the W. K. H. L., and who did not start to play lacrosse till he was 27 years of age, and was fairly successful. So I contend that hockey is the fastest and hardest game to learn, but not necessarily the toughest on the player himself. I'm not sure whether I will need a bodyguard the morning that this appears, but I prepared myself by renting a bicycle just in case, Winchell's flash on the following news might run something like this: "Flash, Hockey News. The Wood, Vallance company of Nelson, who are reported to have the strongest hockey machine in the west, will hop a plane, 20 strong, to chop sticks for the C. M. & S. Warehouse Bombers, (by requisition). Anticipating a sell-out attendance, the officials have gone to great pains in securing the services of none other than that friend of hockey players and newspapermen, the man that puts lacrosse over in this country, the man from the rabbit island of Australia, W.K.H.L. president, and latter day Saint, Mr. Frank Coates, to act as referee. Rules of the game of hockey, in enlarged print, will be tacke.d on to the side boards so Frank can't go wrong. May the best team win. Mr. Coates requested that each fan be searched before entering the rink just in case any attempts were made- to smuggle vegetables into the rink. Pirie Hangs Up Two of Three t%imminz Marks for Canada Toronto Star Leads Field in 110 and --. 440 Races AUSTRALIAN WINS LADIES' 110 SWIM SYDNEY, Feb. 9 (CP-Reutert) —Three new marks went on the Empire's record scroll-today, two of them etched In by the powerful stroking of a long-limbed Toronto star on tha British Empire games swimming program. Bob Pirle, six-foot-two, who divides hli time at home between a Toronto grain elevator office and the High Park 8wlmmlng club, churned tho waters of the North Sydney Olympic pool as they have seldom been before, to set new Empire marks In winning the 110- and 440-yard freestyle events. His times were 69.6 and 4:54,8 as he ploughed past brilliant Empire opposition for the two championships. In between his record- breaking he sandwiched a sparkling performance that just misted giving Canada the 880-yard relay title. Carrying the Canadian colors with Pirie were four divers and a compact squad of swimmers who although not in the win column battled gallantly for places with stars from Great Britain and other Empire countries. A SECOND AND THIRD Linda Adams of Vancouver and Marie Sharkey of Calgary placed one-two behind Irene Donnett of Australia in the women's springboard diving championship. Barbara Richards of Winnipeg added fifth place for Canada. The little Vancouver mlsi again ranked second In the tower plunge where her graceful form and cool performance In the face of clattering traffic from nearby Sydney harbor bridge which tensed nerves of many competitors, won the admiration of 4600 spectators. And unofficial form experts were agreed while Milt Donnett had won her event by a narrow margin Lynda wai decidedly unlucky not to have been placed ahead of L. Hook of Australia In the tower dlvei. Georgie Athans ol Vancouver battled gamely with R. Master ol Australia and Douglas Tomaltn ot England in the two men's events, but lacked the experience ol his older competitiors, two ot the Empire's greatest divers. Athans was third in both springboard and tower with Master and Tomalin in that order in the first event and reversing positions in the second. CANADA.. BEST GIRL Dorothy Lyon of Toronto was Canada's best feminine performer, placing third In the women's 110- Eard free-style behind Evelyn de acy. and Dorothy Green, both of Australia. Miss de Lacy set up an Empire mark of 1:10.1 lor the new distance, increased 10 yards from previous games. Phyllis Dewar ol Vancouver finished lourth. Dorothy Hobson ol Toronto was lourth in the women's 440-yard freestyle where Miss Green broke the Empire mark of 5:45.4 in winning time of 5:39.7. Miss Dewar appeared to tire unexpectedly and wound up sixth. , 3ET8 NEW MARK Pat Norton of Australia established an Empire mark in another new distance, the women's 110- yard backstroke where Noel Oxenbury of New Westminster, B.C., wai fourth and Florence Humble of Montreal ilxth. Mill Norton's time wai 1:19.5. Jimmy Prentice of Toronto clung to third place in the 220-yard breast- stroke, behind Walter Spence ot Guiana, and John Davies ot England who was timed in 2:51.9. It was also a new distance. IN RELAY From the short water sprint Pirie took up Canada's burden on the last lap of the 880-yard relay where Gordon Devlin ot Toronto lpst a two-yard lead and three yards in addition to Robert Leivers of England on the third lap. Pirle tore through the water, swimming the last 220 yards in 2:13 to break not only the Canadian mark he holds lor the distance but also the Australian record. But he missed overhauling Norman Wainwright by two seconds, margin by which the English team triumphed. George Burleigh had pat Canada into a two-yard lead over the first lap and Bobby Hooper ol Vancouver held the advantage on the second. The lean Toronto ace climaxed his night with another record clipping performance in the 440-yard freestyle where he outstroked a tield that was last enough to place the lirst lour finishers inside the eight-year-old Empire record. Pir- ie^s time ot 4:54.6 was 5.2 seconds faster than the 1930 time of Australia's Noel Ryan who finished last today. Leivers, Biddulph and Wainwright finished In that order with only a split second separating them, BOXING, WRESTLING, ROWING In the boxing, wrestling and rowing programs, only others on the day's program, Canada found little comfort. Rex Carey of Victoria placed third In the middleweight boxing division but Welterweight Norman Dawson of Vancouver and Billy Brade, Winnipeg bantam, were eliminated. Carey outpointed L. Stubbs of England after Brade lost a similar decision to J. B. Dillon of Australia and Dawson dropped a point battle to S. Tsirindanls, Southern Rhodesia. Jack Whelan, Vancouver's heavyweight hope, passed out of the wrestling picture when he lost a fall to J. Knight of Australia and dropped a decision to James Bryden of New Zealand. AUSTRALIANS WIN Canada's highly touted oarsmen found the going too tough in their battle with fours from two sister dominions. Coxed by Ken Jaggard of Vancouver the shell with Jack McDonald, Jimmy Temple, Max Winkler and Don Davis, all of- Victoria, wound up third and last. The Canadians were three-quarters of a length back of the second place New Zealand four with Australia another length and a quarter in front at the finish, Papers Critical of Games Judging SYDNEY, Feb. 10 (Thursday) (CP Reuters) — Sydney newspapers joined today in critical comment of judging in yesterday's British Empire Games diving contests, particularly the women's springboard and high tower events in which Lynda Adams of Vancouver placed Second. The Daily Telegraph quoted G. Percival, reserve diving judge, as saying Canadian cornplaints were justified as there had been a complete lack of uniformity in the judges' awards. "Several judges were incompetent" Percival said. The Sydney Sun quoted Mrs. K. Buckle, foremost authority on women's diving in New South Wales, as saying: "I am amazed at the high tower judges' decision and thought Miss Adams was first, Jean Gilbert (England) second, and Irene Donnett, (Australia), third." Miss Adams was second to Miss Hook who was awarded 36.47 points and the Vancouver girl 36.39. Miss Donnett was third with 34 and Miss Gilbert fourth with 33.9.)

(oal Market CALGARY, Feb.9 (CP)r-AlberU may lose a British Columbia coal market that has consumed 150,000 tons of domestic coal from this province annually. That is the opinion of British Columbia dealers and authorities, according to Lieut-Col. P.R. Shields, representative of Calgary dealers who has returner! from Vancouver after a two-week survey of the situation. Alberta coal dealers had petitioned the Provincial government seeking aid and W.J. Asstlstine, B.C. minister of trade and industry, in a recent conference with Premier Aberhart at Edmonton, had made assurances there would be no discrimination against Alberta coal. 'When he returned to Vancouver, however," said Lieut. Col. Shields, "He said no attempt would be made to stop the sale of Alberta coal but regulations and prices set for B.C. would have to be observed." Monarch Life Men Confer in Nelson On Tuesday a sales conference of Monarch Life Assurance company's West Kootenay representatives was held at the Hume hotel; presided over by R.

The calibre of hockey displayed, he stated, was the best amateur play he has seen anywhero in the west. Mr. Boreham was also very much impressed with Nelson's Neon street lighting and declared it was splendid evidence of the progressive spirit which prevailed throughout the city.

The charge followed a collision between the Tymich car and the auto of Smith A. Curwen of Ymir on the Nelson-Ymir road near Apex Monday, considerable damage re suiting. Constable Ralph A. Lees of the highway patrol wag crown prosecutor, and W. W. Ferguson acted for Tymich. TRAIL SOCIAL REXALL STORE in the new Bruce crate is especially popular. A recently received ba nana shipment is regarded as one of the finest carloads brought to the district. VEGETABLES MOVING Vegetable sales, with the exception of potatoes, are lively. There appears to be little or no demand for potatoes, possibly because of extensive peddling. Head lettuce, celery, cauliflower and broccoli are popular. Additional cooler space for storing green vegetables is being provided by one fruit and vegetable house. An acute shortage in shelled walnuts is reported by wholesale grocers. The principal source is China, and in addition to the tieup of transportation by the undeclared Sino- Japanese war, the walnut-producing country is reported to be inundated by floods. Ordinarily stocks are replenished in January, and dealers are working now on carryover stocks, which are practically depleted. PICKLES UNCERTAIN Pickle prices are uncertain, due to competition among manufacturers. Some canners are already sold out of tomato Juice, but stocks of canned tomatoes are plentiful owing to a large pack last season. In the United States, however, a shortage is in evidence.
