(Continued on Paga Two) Hat in Ring Mystery Deepens in'Missing'Case 2 Americans Sought in Russia Had Used Forged Passports NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (AP)-The cleverness in self-masquerade ot "Mr. and Mrs. Donald L: Robinson" reputed Americans who disappeared from a Moscow hotel ten days ago and precipitated a fiction-thriller mystery of international intrigue, boomeranged today. New evidence — further darkening the state department* trail ol investigation into the strange case —indicated they may have covered their tracks too well, thereby destroying the last hope of tracing their identities or solving the riddle of their disappearance. The self-styled "New York writer" and his wife had used forged passports in entering Soviet Russia, "borrowing" the names of two New York children who died more than 20 years ago. Further mystery in the case was added when the New York city health department announced late today that it had been requested by the state department at Washington, D. C, to give out "no further information at this time" regarding issuance of the children's birth certificates.

Deficit, Howe States BOSTON, Dec. 15 (CP)—To meet tho Canadian National Railway's deficit this year, "a little less than $40,000,000" will be required from the federal treasury, Transport Minister C. D. Howe told an audience here tonight. Gross earnings will exceed $200,000,000 the minister said, the best showing of the railways in several years. , (The C. N. R. deficit last year, as stated in the budget of Finance Minister Dunning, was $43,000,000. In the estimates for 1937-38 the current fiscal year, $35,000,000 was appropriated for the railway deficit, which apparently will be somewhat short of meeting it.) Addressing the Boston Canadian club at the annual ladies' night dinner, Mr. Howe gave a picture of Canada's publicly owned utilities under his jurisdiction as transport minister. It was a home-coming for Mr. Howe who was born in Wal- tham, grew up and obtained his education here, and still retains a residence in Massachusetts.

It was contended that .the thawing out of frozen loans would prove a great stimulus to recovery. (Continued on Page Two) Christmas Cheer Fund Donations Are Slowing Up Subscriptions to the Christmas Cheer fund reported Wednesday amounted to $28.25, a sum, however, that represented Christmas wishes from quite a number of people, for the less fortunate. The total in hand is now $532,80, which must be greatly supplemented if the Fund is to do its usual effective Christmas mission of spreading good cheer. Last year some $1200 was expended, and this year it is desired to have $1500 to lay out on 'good things' that will widen the scope of- Christmas in the homes of the humble and of those not in Fortune's good graces at the moment. UNFORTUNATE NUMEROUS Among the latter are many who had employment a portion of the year and were able to keep off re lief. At present the relief rolls are relatively short, but those who are on th rolls are for the time being more fortunate than many who found work during the past summer. Those who obtained work also found, as soon as they began to receive pay checks, that they had to pay as much as they could on old obligations. And they had plenty of obligations. Those who found work and have since been laid off due to the end of seasonal employment are in many cases not yet eligible for relief. Government regulations set out that they shall not be eligible for periods varying according to the amount of money they earned. So, while at the present time these people perhaps have fewer or smaller debts to met than they did a year ago, they are "worse off" at the moment than if they had stayed on relief, and will continue to be "worse off" until they are eligible again. For many that time will come in January—after Christmas. There is thus every reason why a generous fund is needed.

THANKS KIMBERLEY FOR $950 DONATION KIMBERLEY, B. C.-^The Saskatchewan relief committee sent the following letter recently to Rev. S. T. Galbraith in appreciation of a contribution of $950 from Kimberley: "Following your kindly letter of the 3rd the Bank of Montreal messenger called upon us with the draft for the splendid sum of $950. The committee meets tomorrow when this contribution will be reported and the expenditure decided upon. "Now that the movement of fruit and vegetables is about at an end, we are endeavoring to make school children comfortable, particularly those who have some distance to walk in all kinds of weather, and as far as possible we are encouraging people to make their own clothing from materials supplied through this committee. When this cannot be done in the home, a responsible organization in the community is asked to oversee same, so there will be no waste. In this way it is possible to make the money go much further and also encourages recipients to work for themselves. Of course, footwear, a most necessary article, cannot be included in this category. Also there is always a great demand for layette materials, clothing for transients and large families whose relief quota is insufficient, as well as cases surrounded by unusual circumstances, fires, etc. "Kimberley's contribution will go a long way in rendering valuable assistance to those in need and it is hoped that a suitable message of appreciation will reach everyone who assisted to make this possible. Saskatchewan has much to be grateful to her sister provinces for, particularly this year. "Yours very sincerely, "J, W. HEDLEY."

Panay was bombed Sunday. He was taken to Shanghai on a Japanese vesiel. JAPANESE FIRED SHANGHAI, Dee. 16 — (Thursday) (AP) — Japanese authorities today announced Rear Admiral Teixo Mitsun- ami, chief of Japanese aerial operations, had been relieved of his post as a result of the bombing of the United States gunboat Panay. The government thus acted swiftly to carry out its pledge to the United States government that officers responsible for the Panay attack would be punished, said Domei, the Japanese news agency, Mitsunami was recalled since most air bombings in China have been carried out by naval planes. ALL FOREIGNERS IN NANKING ARE SAFE; JAPANESE TAKE YANGCHOW SHANGHAI, Dec. 16 (Thursday) (AP)—Victims of the Japanese air attack on the United States gunboat Panay and three Standard OH company ships near- ed Shanghai today aboard gunboats coming cautiously down the mine-laden Yangtze river- Among them were three who died in the tragedies Sunday on the river above Nanking. A vanguard of survivors, all wounded, reached here Wednesday by airplane. Advices from Nanking, Japanese- occupied capital of China, reported all foreigners safe, relieving anxiety for 27 foreigners in the city when Japanese troops stormed and captured it. Japanese forces pushed deeper into China's interior and captured the walled city of Yang-how, 35 miles northeast of Nanking, in a surprise attack. The British gunboat Ladybird and the United States gunboat Oahu, forming the cortege, were convoyed down the Yangtze by a Japanese gunboat and a Japanese destroyer, Japanese minesweepers led the procession,' patrolling for hidden dangers threatening the survivors* safe passage to the coast. Because of the necessity for care through the war zone, the survivors were not expected in Shanghai until Friday. The fleet waited for dawn a short distance below, Nanking, spending the night anchored in the river rather than move in darkness through waters known to have been strewn with Chinese mines. Poor Marksmanship Saved British Gunboat From Fate of the Panay SHANGHAI, Dec. 15 (CP)—But for poor marksmanship the British gunboat Ladybird would have shared the fate of the United States gunboat Panay, her commander, Flag-captain G. E. M. O'Donnell, said today as he received treatment for a shell-splintered arm. The Ladybird was shelled by Japanese field gun batteries at Wuhu Sunday at the same time the Panay and three Standard Oil vessels were sunk on the Yangtze near Nanking- A bluejacket was killed on the Ladybird and three Americans lost their lives in the Panay bombing. Jim Marshall, correspondent of Collier's magazine, arrived with two other Panay survivors and told of the hayoc wrought by the Japanese planes as they dropped 12 bombs on the American craft. Marshall was in hospital, badly wounded. F, Hay- dan Vines of Roanoke, Va,, also was wounded and John L. Hodge, fireman, was too shell-shocked to be able to speak of his experiences. "They came so low it was impossible for them not to know they were bombing foreign ships," Marshall declared. "The first bomb hit the forecastle. The Panay kept her guns blazing until the last minute." FINALLY IDENTIFY THE VICTIMS OF $200,000 BLAST IN ONTARIO PLANT HAMILTON, Ont., Dec. 15 (CP)- Wreckage of the Steel Company of Canada's $200,000 benzol recovery plant was guarded tonight by firemen who poured water into the ruins from which three bodies were taken after explosions and fire struck the building this morning. Fire Chief Robert Aifchison instructed crews from three stations to keep pouring water on the ruins until they were completely cooled. There was little fear further explosions could occur. Chief Coroner Dr. J. H. Mullin announced an inquest would be opened December 28. The bodies were definitely Identified as those of James F. Osborne, 25; Thomas E. Nicholson, 24, and Primo Ripanti, 23, all workers in the building. Nicholson and Ripanti were so mutilated by the blast that threw a 500-gallon iron tank 50 feet that relatives could not make certain identification until several hours after the blast. Only seven men were in the building at the time. Hull Against Vote on Declaration of War WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (AP) —The United States department of state aligned itself today against a strong movement in congress to require a favorable vote of the people before the United States could declare war, except in event of invasion. Secretary Hull told reporters that, from the standpoint of promoting peace and keeping the country out of war, he was unable to see "the wisdom, or the practicability" of the proposed requirement. Nevertheless, study of a petition pending in the house indicated there was a good chance the chamber would approve a constitutional amendment by Representative Ludlow (D., Ind.) to require the national referenda on declarations of war.

Alta., Proprietor Dufferin Hotel MORE ABOUT STIBBS OFFERS (Continued From Paoe One) STREET BETTERMENT He stated Wednesday that he believed in an energetic program of street construction. This important work, he said, should be placed on a systematic basis of hard surfacing of Nelson streets. If this were done, stated Alderman Stibbs, the public would not only benefit from better streets, which would facilitate traffic and reduce the dust nuisance, but annual maintenance costs would bo practically wiped out. He said that he was in favor of the continuous operation of the rock crushing plant, so that a supply of crushed rock would always be on hand when needed. This plant, he stated, should be kept in operation 12 months of the year, which would have the effect of reducing winter unemployment. With regard to the gas plant, Alderman Stibbs advocates a thorough study with a view to the extension of the gas service to Fairview. He believes that if the mains were so extended the large population in that area of the city would be greatly benefited by the addition of this service for cooking and other purposes, that the additional .revenue would be profitable lo the gas plant department, and to some extent the load on the electric power plant would be relieved. KEEP UP WATER SYSTEM Alderman Stibbs spoke strongly in favor of maintenance of the water supply which should always be adequate for all needs. He urges the overhauling of the pipe line, Improvements to the intake, and speed Ing up of work on the distribution system. He considers that it would be good policy to complete the re modelling and extension of the distribution system as early as possible and carry on the work throughout the year, and especially during the months when employment is most needed. The mayoralty candidate has been an active chairman of the committee. This committee is also in charge of the cemetery. He states that if elected mayor, he will continue the improvement program in the parks which has been commenced, and that he will press negotiations with the provincial government so that the government may be prevailed upon to carry out the arrangement already discussed, under which the provincial public works department is to grade and hard-surface the cemetery road. Opposing rany increase in taxation, Alderman Stibbs states that he is strongly in favor of carrying out improvements and doing maintenance work from revenue, rather than from ncw bond issues. Always, he says, in dealing wilh civic finance, the desirability of bringin about a decrease in the tax rate shpuld be kept in mind.

HOUSE LAUGHS Members of the house listened at tentively as Mr. Eden discussed the British communication, but a ripple of ironic laughter ran around the chamber when he read a passage- of the Japanese note which expressed earnest hope that "the occurrence of an unfortunate Incident" would not damage the traditional friendship of Britain and Japan. MORE ABOUT ROWELL HEARING (Continued From Page One) PROGRAM OUTLINED Since Interest rates were under control of the federal government, tho board suggested the Dominion government should take Immediate steps to adopt a comprehensive program along the lines suggested, these to include: 1. A survey of loans and other financial obligations of farmers ago since 192jf held by lending lnstitutioni ln the west. 2. Scaling down of obligations so there was reasonable assurance the farmer could carry them, with interest at not more than four per cent. 3. A federal credit corporation to supervise adjustment of farm mortgages and take over all amortized obligations and assets, "giving tho lending Institutions debentures on a three per cent basis ln return for their agreement to accept a reasonable settlement of the farm debts in question."

Cahan, Jr., charged with armed robbery of a Canadian Bank ot Commerce branch, C G. Pearson, manager of a branch of the Dominion bank, today said he remembered seeing Cahan in his bank more than two hours after the robbery. Cahan, a lawyer, conducting his own defence, said he had gone into the Dominion bank to change 50 $1 bills into large notes. He asked Mr. Pearson: "Do you think I would have come to change 50 ones if I had been doing anything wrong?" "It might have been shrewd deception," Pearson replied. "You are a very clever man." "Thank you," said the lawyer. TEST FLIGHT COMPLETED LETHBRIDGE, Alta., Dec. 15 (CP)—Completing the first flight of a series of tests Trans-Canada Airlines is staging across its prairie leg, Pilot C. C. Malcolm Barclay landed here at 3 p.m. (M.S.T.) today. The craft will remain here overnight and return to the Manitoba capitel in the morning. At the same time a second plane will take off from Winnipeg. The two ships will shuttle back and forth across western Canada for the next few weeks, providing training for pilots under actual conditions they will meet later when the regular service goes into operation. National Health Insurance Plan Urged af Regina REGINA, Dec. 15 (CP)-In view of wide variations in the economic status of individuals and areas throughout Canada, a nationally subsidized scheme of health insurance is the most feasible way ■ of providing the Canadian people with adequate medical care at reasonable cost.

OGDEN'S FINE CUT doctors had been Introduced In £n attempt to spread the cost of such services over the community on a taxation basis, a form of health insurance itself, Dr. Uhrich said. "In the case of serious illness, the well-to-do and the indigent are in a more favorable position than the middle class," Attorney-general T. C. Davis said. "The answer would seem to be an equitable distribution of the costs among all the people and a consequent reduction in the overhead cost when facilities are used to the capacity limit of the facility concerned." ASKS JAIL SO MAY FEED (HILD CLEVELAND, Dec- 15 (AP)— Martin German, 24-year-old father of a baby boy, was behind jail bars today—his answer to the oft posed sociological question: "Would you steal to provide food for your family?" German, jobless because of a leg injury sustained soon after his marriage two years ago received $5 a week in state industrial compensation. The meager income barred the family from relief rolls, he said. That his wife, Helen, 19, and their 14-months-old son, Martin, Jr,, might receive help from the city while he was provided for in jail, German asked Judge David R, Hertz to sentence him on a technical charge of failure to support the baby. The judge attempted to dissuade him.'German replied that he would "go out and get food". "You'd be committing a crime," the court warned him. German remained firm. Judge Hertz charged him with contempt on the ground he threatened, in the court's presence, to commit a crime. But the judge arranged for a relief worker to determine what aid the family could receive. Dales Head East REGINA, Dec. 15 (CP)-His parents christened him Clarence, that was 18 years ago and how were they to know their chubby little son would pack 240 pounds of rugby brawn and kick footballs through the proverbial eye of a needle? So Regina's junior Dales righted matters by tacking the nickname of "Toar" on their bulky star, he seemed to like it and it's been "Toar'' ever since. As the Dales, western Canada champions, roll eastward toward Hamilton, Ont., today for a Dominion final with Italo-Canadians next Saturday, "Toar" Springstein is their ace in the hole. There will be no fake plays, no field-length touch down dashes a la Fritz Hanson. 8IX BURGLARIES STETTLKR, Alta., Dec. 15 (CP) Royal Canadian Mounted Police were busy today checking activities of a robber gang which broke into five establishments here last night and another at Botha, a few miles east IDENTIFY BODY VANCOUVER, Dec. 15 (CP) - A body identified as that of W.

The liberation was believed linked with the forthcoming promulgation of the new Free State constitution and was said to have been decided upon at a meeting of the executive council yesterday. It could not be learned whether or not the eight Republicans still In jail also would be released. Twomey and his followers wera arrested and the I.R.A. was dissolved by President Eamon De Valera in June, 1936, after a wave of terrorism climaxed by the murder of Vice-Admiral Boyle Somerville at Cork.

Thyroid Gland Has Important Effect on Body By LOGAN CLENDENING, M.D. YESTERDAY I pointed out that in the operation of the manifold functions of the different systems of the body, there has to be some governing force, something to make the wheels go round. The digestive sys tern converts food jnto a form suitable fqr use as energy and tissue; the heart pumps this around in the blood; the different cells take it up; the kidneys and skin throw off the waste products. But all of these different functions are beautifully correlated so that they do not get in each other's way. They are not beforehand or behind time, and every thing works out smoothly. To a very large extent the business of making all these things work out so well is done by the thyroid gland. We pointed out yesterday its effect upon weight. When its secretion is excessive, the weight loss of the body is rapid, and increased intake of food, even to an excessive extent, does not result in replacement of the weight loss. MAINTAINS BODY TEMPERATURE Another thing that the thyroid undoubtedly helps to maintain is bodily temperature. All of our functions are carried on best at the exact level of 98.2 degrees F. Our functions do not operate well when we are chilled or when we have fever, and by many intricate processes the body maintains this exact tempera- lure for its own efficiency. People with excessive thyroid secretion are always warm, require less bed clothing and fewer clothes than others, and those with diminished thyroid secretion are always cold. Its control over the muscles is notable. A large part of our body is muscle, and the muscles must maintain a certain tone in order to function vigorously. In some cases of Serial Story . . . Peacock Feathers By TEMPLE BAILEY READ THIS FIRST: Jerry Chandler, son of a country clergyman in modest circumstances, enters Yale, thanks to a wealthy uncle. Because of his commonplace background, he feels himself an outsider until he meets Lionel Clark, of St. Louis, in his senior year. Jerry finds that Lionel is a cousin of Mimi Le Brun, a girl he had admired several years before while visiting Washington with his uncle. Mimi, granddaughter of a late senator, is about to make her debut, Lionel tells him. Jerry and Lionel are writing a play together. Lionel receives a letter from Mimi in which she writes about Olga, a young woman who married their grandfather, and his wealth, shortly before he died. Lionel invites Jerry to spend part of his vacation at his step-grandmother's camp in Maine. JeJrry is elated as he anticipates meeting Mimi who will be there too. Taking to horses, after meeting Olga, as soon as they reach camp, Lionel leaves Jerry for a moment to join one of the other young people. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY: CHAPTER 12 My horse and I came at last to an open space which was clear of trees. As we approached it, my eye was caught by something which lay directly in our path, lt was a woman's hat, a little Alpine- peaked thing of soft green felt, and stuck in the side, so that it slanted above the crown and caught the light in a gleam of iridescence, was a peacock's feather! Cinderella's Prince was no surer that the glass slipper belonged to the maiden he sought than was I that the hat with the shining feather belonged to Mimi Le Brun. I felt she must be near yet though my eyes swept the open space and the shaded depths beyond, I could see no sign of her. I picked up the hat and had it in my right hand when a man appeared suddenly at my right, rounding a great tamarack tree which had hidden him. He was on foot, was very tall, very dark, and wore riding clothes of irreproachable style and finish. He frowned when he saw me standing with the hat in my hand. "Give it to me," he said. "Miss Le Brun lost it." I did not like his manner, but I handed him the hat, saying: "I am Jerry Chandler, Lionel Clark's guest- The rest of the party have ridden on." He did net acknowledge my introduction of myself by giving me his own name. "We heard them go," he said, and his words confirmed my belief that Mimi was not far away. 1 felt, however, that the presence of the dark man struck a jarring note in my romantic symphony. I would go away at once and leave her to him. But he surprised me by handing the hat back to me. "You might as well take it to her," he said, "and I'll catch up with the rest." He had hardly finished his sentence when he strode on to where his horse was hitched, and presently I heard the pounding of departing hoofs. In a whirl of conflicting emotions I dismounted and went toward the place where the man had emerged. At first I saw no one; then suddenly I was aware of a bright banner flaming against the naked whiteness of a group of birches, I had to look twice, however, to discover that the bright banner was a woman's hair. Her riding clothes were of a rough gray cloth that melted into the background. She was leaning against one of the trees, and her back was toward me. She was taller than when I had seen her last, but her hair was tied with a black ribbon, just as it had been tied when as a child she had lunched with her grandfather in the senate restaurant. A twig snapped under.my feet, and without turning she said, "I told you not to come back, Andy." "It is not—Andy." She flung herself around and looked at me, and it was then I saw she had been crying. "Who are you?" she demanded. "Jerry Chandler." "Lionel's friend?" "Yes. I found your hat, and the man who came out of the woods said you were here," "Andy Fuller—" She hesitated, but confessed the truth. "We were having a peach of a quarrel. I told him to go away and not to come back." I just stood looking at her. It seemed to me incredible that I had met her at last, lovelier than in all my dreams of her, in spite of the tears which stained her cheeks. "I always cry when I am angry," she said. "It is a silly thing to do, but Andy made me furious. And I told him what I thought of him. I think he was afraid to come back." "I am sure he must have been," I told her; "he looked it." We sat down on a log and she look her hat from mc, then stood up as if to scrutinize me better. "So you are Jerry," she said. "Lion has told me a lot about you. How did you happen to come through here? Where's Lion?" "He went on with the others. But this was all so wonderful that I wanted to be alone with it." She looked at me with evident interest and returned to the log, "Yes," she- said, "it is wonderful. You've never been here before?" I smiled down at her. "I've never been anywhere." I surprised her, I think, by my honest confession. I surprised, indeed, myself, "How interesting' to know that you have it all before you!" "Well, it is." I was afraid to breathe lest I spoil the enchant- ment of the moment. It was almost impossible to believe that she was really there ,so delicate, so fine. "This isn't the first time I have seen you," I went on. "You were in the senate restaurant years ago, with your grandfather, and my uncle and I were eating lunch near you." "How did you know who I was?" "I asked my uncle, and he said you were Mimi Le Brun." Her dark-irised eyes were shadowed. "It was the last time I had grandfather all to myself. The next year he married Olga." She seemed to float away from me on a sea of memory. I brought her back. "You had a peacock's feather in your hat then. Do you always wear them?" "Oh—yes." She stood up. "We must be going or we shall be late for dinner." She lifted her face to me. "When I get back to the Camp, will everybody know I have been crying?" I had to admit, "They might." I'll wet my handkerchief in the pool and freshen up a bit." "Let me wet mine." I brought it back to her, and she had me hold a little mirror which she fished out of her pocket, She had. too, an infinitesimal powder- puff, and she touched her checks with it, and her nose and chin. Her own skin was rose-leaf, and she did not need any artificial aids, yet I must confess that the faint perfume of the powder, and her face so clqse to mine as I held the mirror, set my pulses pounding- She put on her hat, and we went together to where her horse was tied to a tree. "What did you think," she asked, as we rode along, "when you found my hat?" "I wondered how it came there. I thought there might have been an accident." "There wasn't," dryly. "I threw it at Andy.' She made no further explanation, and there was silence for several moments, while I was consumed witli curiosity as to what the dark man could have done that she should throw her hat at him!

The control of calcium nutrition and iron nutrition apparently is influenced partially by the secretion of the thyroid, and since the presence of a proper concentration of calcium in the blood influences muscular action, this may have something to do with the effect on muscles. ' The thyroid secretion also has a definite influence on growth, and I have seen a number of interesting cases in which every other growth hormone was eliminated, the patient staying on thyroid extract alone, with marked increase in height in children who have been stationary for some time.

Don't Be Shocked . . Mother Sympathy Required lo Invite Child's Confidence By VIRGINIA LEE I have received a letter from a young girl who signed herself LONESOME. It did not begin like the usual "have met a nice young man," etc. It stated that I might think it was odd for a girl her age to call herself lonesome. She has a mother she loves dearly, but to whom she can tell nothing about herself. To me that is one of life's great tragedies, and it is a tragedy that is all too common. Why are not mothers and daughters better friends? Of course minions are, and yet I have known so many cases where they were miles apart, and when daughter needed advice or sympathy she turned to some outsider. I don't know whom to feel most sorry for—daughter or mother. Daughter heeds a mother's sympathetic and wise guidance. And as mother grows older how very much she needs the gay and gallant, and often wise comradeship of the younger woman! She misses so much when she is not the type of woman who wins it. Please, mothers, don't be shocked. Or if that is asking too much, don't let it be known that you are shocked. Be up-to-date, know what is going on in the world. Realize that young people learn by experience, just as you have been doing. You, too, passed through that stage of wanting to shock your elders. It passed, and maybe you have grown too far in the other direction. That is sad, and a jolt is needed to wake you up. Try to understand your young folk and sympathize with, understand and love them, and you'll get so very much out of the association with them. You'll never be that saddest of all people—the neglected mother. Neglected because she could not grow with the world and with her children, and so lost them. Only "duty" brings them to her side. ' And Lonesome, dear, try to get closer to your mother. Try to give her little confidences, and maybe she will encourage you so that as time goes on you'can tell her big ones and you will not be lonesome any more. Use Skin Balm . Perfectly Groomed Fingertips Are Essential lo Lovely Hands By GLADYS GLAD The girl of today who realizes the charm that a beautiful hand holds within its grasp, uses a good skin balm or hand lotion on them daily, in order to keep them soft and smooth. And she is particularly careful that her nails are always perfectly groomed and manicured. Beautiful hands are not only JUNE LANG Shows Her Pretty Hand graceful and expressive, but they are also smooth, white and shapely as well. The fingertips are perfectly groomed. They are given corrective treatments the minute they begin to show any least sign of roughness, and no hard, caJloused bits of skin accumulate at tne sides of the nails or on the tips of the firfgers. Harsh, rough-skinned hands certainly do not in any way enhance a girl's allure. Even in the most romantic setting in the world, it's hard for a Romeo to get properly sentimental if the hand of his Juliet feels hardened and toilworn when he holds it. It is the skin at the sides of the fingernails that generally becomes dry and rough more quickly than any other part of the hands. Through friction, pressure and the like, tiny, rough-edged callouses and hard bits of skin form at the fingertips and around the nails. Of course, when a girl gets a professional manicure at a reliable beauty salon, these small callouses are usually cut away with cuticle clippers, but I am not very much in favor of this method of eradicating them. Hangnails may develop too easily after such cutting—and hangnails can be just as painful as they are unattractive. What's more, if the manicurist is at all careless, she may cut a bit too deeply and make the fingertips entirely too sensitive. A far better and simpler method of ridding the fingertips of such unpleasant deadened cuticle is through the use of powdered pumice and pure olive oil. After cleansing your hands at night, make a paste of powdered pumice and olive oil, and apply it generously to the hardened skin. Allow this paste to remain on for a while, so that the oil may do its work. Then rub the paste briskly over the calloused spots. The powdered pumice will remove any deadened tissue, and the oil will lubricate the skin, thus leaving the fingertips soft, smooth and attractive. IHiniL foA, Koumwwsll By MRS.

The study was made possible also by the cooperation of the department of public health of Toronto and the various hospitals and their staffs. The direct responsibility Was assumed by the Hospital for Sick Children and the School of Hygiene, University of Toronto. Altogether 44 specialists participated in the work at eight city hospitals, 97 clinics being held. Parents were invited through newspaper advertising to bring their children to these clinics the announcements pointing out, of course, that the study was purely experimental though harmless. Public response was immediate, 7412 requests being received.

Pioneer Store at Cranbrook Is Sold ORANHROOK, B.C., - A real estate transaction completed this week envolves the transfer of one of Cranbrook's pioneer stores. The building was built in 1903 for R. E. Beattie and Dr. King by George R. Leask. It was occupied by the drug business of R. E. Beattie, who had formerly conducted his business in the present Scott's Drug and Book company store, and when he entered the new building he took in as a partner W. J. Atchison, the business being known as Beattie-At- chison company. On his election to the Federal House in 1920 Mr. Beattie sold to A. C. Bowness.

Truscott, Robinson Reelected, Creston CRESTON, B. C. —The annual meeting of Creston-Boswell local of the B. C. F. G. A. Friday was poorly attended and much of the oldtime enthusiasm was lacking. P. R. Truscott, retiring president, occupied the chair and treasurer R. B. Robinson's balance sheet showed a surplus of $25. The records showed 241 registered growers last year. Messrs. Truscott and Robinson were reelected by acclamation. The board of directors for 1937-38 will be Col. Fred Lister, J. B. Holder, Homer Eddy, George Nickel, J. E. VanAckeren, J. W. Hamilton, John Hall and Ron Stewart.. For the B. C. F. G. A. convention at Kelowna January 11 and 12, W. Keirn. P. R. Truscott, J. B. Holder and Ron Stewart were chosen delegates. Kootenay representative on the B. C. F. G. A. executive will be appointed later. A delegate will also be named to attend the annual meeting of the B. C. Tree Fruit board. Secretary Robinson's report showed that prompt and effective measures had been taken to control an outbreak of codling moth in the Huscroft-Listcr area. Trees in an old Indian orchard in the same locality had been cut down and destroyed to control the pest. Creston will have one resolution for the Kelowna convention. It will ask for legislation to make nurseries deliver the exact variety of fruit trees ordered. Where this is not done the nursery will not only have to make replacements but also pay a penalty for carelessness. A. D. Pochin observed that now the fruit grower is so thoroughly controlled it might be a good idea to ask for legislation that will control the quantity and variety of fruit trees planted. The matter of having a local man appointed as permanent inspector for the district was broached. Another meeting'will be held December 18 at which it is hoped resolutions will be presented which can be discussed with the delegates for their guidance at Kelowna. 15 Tables in Play at Liberal Whist Mrs. Pele Borsato, Louis Borsato and Mr. and Mrs. F.

Two mains in service for 30 years were replaced by six-inch lines, using a sum of $4180 provided by the bylaw was used to replace the line on Cedar and Carbonate streets to Stanley street, and a sum of $3380 for a new line on Mill from Hen- dryx to Stanley street. Another new six-inch line on Victoria street from Hall street to a hydrant at Hendryx, to feed the hydrant and eliminate a dead end, was completed, the bylaw having provided $980 for this work. Seven of the projects outlined by the bylaw remain. They are as follows, with the amounts allocated for each; TO BE COMPLETED To lay new mains to connect Rosemont to the Five Mile pipe line above the old reservoir, and thus obtain standard fire fighting pressure in Rosemont, $4565. To replace a wooden crib dam at the Five-Mile intake with a concrete dam as a means of saving water. $1200. To construct a seepage wall, intake and pipe on Anderson creek to save water lost by seepage, $1000. To replace the six-inch pressure valve and strainer on Anderson creek, $655. To construct a line on Park street from Water street to give a second "hookup" for Kootenay Lake General hospital and residences on this circuit in case of emergency, $500. To replace a two-inch line on Fourth street from Kootenay to Fell street with a four-inch pipe to feed two fire hydrants, $780. To construct a six-inch line on Hendryx from Hoover to Latimer to feed a hydrant and cut out a dead end, $760. Garden Society Kimberley Elect KIMBERLEY, B.

Hid indigestion Gas and Pains In Stomach and Bowels The process of digestion depends largely on the condition of the stomach, and when it is unable to do its work properly there will be a rising and souring of food, a gnawing and burning sensation in the stomach, belching and pressure of gas, flatulency, etc. Burdock Blood Bitters starts an increased flow of gastrin juice so essential for tho proper digestion of food. Miss M. C. Weiss, Mapova, Alt*., writes;—"For a long time I was troubled with indigestion. My stomach would not digest my food, and I would have gas pressure and sour stuff coming up in my mouth. I used Burdock Blood Bitters, and after taking one bottle I felt a change for the better, bo I decided to keep on, and afler Ihe third bottle 1 could eat anything and not be bothered with the rising and souring of my food."

NEWS PRINT AND LIBERTY While the amount of newsprint that is manufactured in a country is not necessarily an indication of the high state of civilization in that country, it is possible that the figures of the consumption of newsprint may throw some light upon the extent to which freedom of opinion and liberty of discussion is either suppressed or encouraged. Newspaper circulation may be rightly regarded as a fairly accurate index of the desire of the people to become better informed as to what is going on about them and to be able to form their own opinions and to act upon the judgments thus formed. If this is the case it would be natural to suppose that in those countries where the citizen was free to express his own opinions and to influence the manner in which he is governed by such expression the newspaper the source of daily information on public affairs would be largely read. On the other hand in countries where freedom of discussion is forbidden and where the man on the street has no opportunity to say how or by whom he is to be governed it might be supposed that there would be little interest taken in public affairs since knowledge about them was of no practical use to the reader of a newspaper circulation would be greatly limited. ' That these conclusions are justified is shown by figures of newsprint consumption collected by the Newsprint Service bureau, and tabulated in the "latest letter of the Royal Bank of Canada. In order to have a large circulation,.newspapers must use newsprint, so that the consumption of newsprint, which is almost exclusively used for newspaper work, should be a very fair indication of the number of newspapers that are read by the people of each country. It will be noted that the democratic countries of the world lead by a long way in the consumption of newsprint per capita. The figures of 1936 give the per capita consumption in the United Kingdom as 60 pounds, this being closely followed by Australia and New Zealand with 58 pounds, and by the United States with 57 pounds. Canada is fourth with 36. Other countries in order are as follows: Argentina 27, Scandinavia 26, Netherlands 23, Belgium and Switzerland 21, France 18, Finland 12. Compared with these may be placed Germany, with 11 pounds per capita, which is a considerable drop, since formerly Germany published some of the most widely cir- culated and influential papers in Europe. Russia and Italy use only three pounds per capita, a fact which is not so remarkable in the case of Russia, whose huge population was not long ago largely illiterate and has probably not yet become accustomed to the regular reading of newspapers, but is significant in the case of the dictator-ruled Italy. In Japan the use of newsprint has been gradually increasing and is now 13 pounds per capita. Does it not appear that the newspaper is an important instrument of democracy? It is natural that, in countries where the people must make economic, social and poltlcal decisions for themselves, there will come an almost automatic demand for a wider scope of information, while in absolutist countries, where all decisions are made by dictators and cannot be challenged by the people, the general public takes no interest in anything except the decrees which they are bound unquestionably to obey. That the public of Canada and the United States maintained a high level of demand for newspapers, even under the adverse circumstances of. severe depression, is significant, and, while Canadian demand iB not at as high levels as that in some countries, it is a noteworthy fact that in the past few years the rate of increase in the circulation of newspapers in Canada has been far greater than it has been in those countries where the per capita consumption of newsprint has been at the highest levels.

Quit, Cranbrook—Is it necessary for the secretary to move the adoption of minutes ot a previous meeting? This is done frequently, especially when the secretary is a voluntary official. But anyone may offer such a motion. However, the minutes may be "declared" adopted without motion so custom varies. M. M. C, Nelson—Can you give me some information about the floating wharves at Manaos, Brazil? There is a stone river wall or quay from which floating bridges or roadways lead to the floating wharves. These are made necessary because of the rise and fall of the river, the difference between maximum and minimum levels being about 33 feet. K.

SPORTING NEWS Piper Declares Trail's Lineup Strongest Yel Not Going to Let Up at Any Time Coach Asserts TRAIL, B.C., Dec. 15—"We are going out there tomorrow night," said Elmer Piper tonight from the inside of the Smoke Eaters' dressing room, pointing in the direction of the large ice sheet, "with the idea we are meeting the toughest team in the league." Nelson Maple Leafs, whom Trail beat by a 5-1 score Saturday, play Trail on its home ice Thursday night, December 16. "That's going to be our policy right along," continued Piper. "We are not going to let up for a minute. Even if we figure the opposing team is weaker, we are not going to slacken, especially at home." After giving the lineup, Piper described the crew as the strongest he has yet sent on the ice. Smoke Eaters' lineup and the number of players follow: Buchanan (15), goal; Kwasnie (14), Snowdon (3), Morris (13) and Haight (4), defence; Duchak (9), McCreedy (11) and Kowcinak (12), Dame (8), Benoit (10) and Marshall (7), forwards.

Greenberg Leads in Balling In Runs CHICAGO, Dec. 15 (AP)—A sea. son of virtual inactivity failed to damage big Hank Greenberg's ability to slam out; hits with men on The Detroit Tiger first baseman who led the American baseball league in the art of batting runs over the plate in 1935, but was able to play in only 12 games in 1936 because of a wrist injury, came back bigger and better than ever last season, to recapture the title from Hal Trosky of Cleveland, official averages disclosed today. Greenberg's bat drove in 183 runs, only one short of the league record established by Lou Gehrig of New York- Yankees in 1931, and 13 better than his own leading mark in 1935. REMEMBER WHEN? By The Canadian Press Vancouver's Jimmy McLarnin and Billy Townsend scored knockouts at Boston five years ago tonight. McLarnin, who later became world's welterweight champion, put Sammy Fuller down for keeps in the eighth round after flooring him four times while Townsend, semi- finalist on the card, sprawled Andy Saviola to the mat in three rounds.

Allen compiled the highest won- and-lost percentage in the history of the American league when he won 15 victories before losing the final game of the season, while Gomez, also featuring in a come-back role, turned up with the lowest earned run record in the circuit with a mark of 2.33. Having previously won his last two games in 1936, Allen's season gave him a streak ot 17 consecutive victories before Jake Wade of Detroit beat him, 1 to o, with a 2-hit performance in the final game of the 1937 schedule. Allen's new record supplants that of Bob Grove, veter an left-hander, who won 31 and lost 4 for Philadelphia in 1930 for a .886 perecentage, As a first year pitcher in the league with New York in 1932, Allen led the league with a won-and- lost pecentage of .810. While pacing the N;w York club to the championship with his airtight twirling, Gomez was the only pitcher in the league to win over 20 games, winding up the race with 21 to his credit, against 11 defeats. His team-mate, Charlie Ruffing, was the only other 20-game pitcher in the circuit, with a record of 20 victories and seven defeats. Gomez' earned-run average was the lowest in the league since 1934, when he led the league again with exactly the same figure. Gomez' high hard one accomplished the most strikeouts for the season with 194, which, however, is far below the record of 343 made by Rube Waddell of the Athletics way back in 1804. Following Gomez in the earned- run column was lanky young Monty Stratton of Chicago with a mark of 2.40 in spite of the fact that through the last part of the race he was handicapped by a lame arm. Allen of the Indians finished third in the earned-run averages with a record of 2.55. Hockey Battles on Tap Tonight on Two Fronts Kootenay hockey flares into action on two fronts tonight as Nelson Maple Leafs play in Trail and Kimberley Dynamiters go to Coleman. Lethbridge and Trail, with two victories each, top the league. Rossland's single win places it in second, and Kimberley, Coleman and Nelson share the cellar. Kimberley has played but one game to date. Coach Pat Aitken made no announcement Wednesday night as to how the Maple Leafs would line up against Trail, but it was expected McKay would be in goal; Atwell, Bicknell, Sutherland and Duckworth on defence; Kilpatrick, Carr and Nick Smith on one forward line; and Johnny Smith, Euerby and McPhee on the other.

Team in Any Sport in 1937 Season By ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 15 (API-Recognition as the year's outstanding team on land or water, goes to the champion New York Yankees by an overwhelming vote of leading American sports experts. The rulers of professional baseball top the list, covering all sports, for the second successive year and the third time in the seven-year history of the annual Associated Press poll. The Yankees were collectively put at the head of the 1937 class by 42 of the 50 newspaper experts who signified their three preferences for team honors. On points, tabulated 3-2-1, Gehrig, DiMaggio and company more than doubled the score of their nearest rival, Pitts burgh's football team which rated tops In the collegiate world. The margin was 138 to 62, with only two experts putting the Panthers in the No. 1 spot. • Although United States recapture of the Davis Cup in tennis was pre.- ty much a one-man show, featuring Don Budge, the year's No. 1 individual athlete, the United States team collected enough support to beat out University of Washington's all-conquering varsity crew for third place in the poll, 31 points to 22. The husky oarsmen from Seattle rated fourth for the second straight year. They swept the Poughkeepsie regatta in record-smashing fashion to compile the most amazing two. year streak in collegiate rowing his tory. SPORTS ROUNDUP...

PAGE clun I ————~- The Merchandise and the Services Offered on This Page Are True Values Canadian Shopkeepers Expect Tidal Wave of Christmas Buying to Start By The Canadian Preu Those capricious institutions, the weather and the stock market, have played fast and loose with Christmas season trade in many centres across Canada, but shopkeepers today report the beginning of what may swell into a tidal wave of purchasing in the next 10 years, hitting its crest on the eve of the holiday. Last week's blizzards in Ontario and generally more seasonal weather had a definitely stimulating effect In some cities; but in small centres it was just another extreme. Most of the weather difficulties have been stabilized, however, and retail dealers are beginning to cater to the golden horde. In the Quebec area, the Retail Merchants' association of Canada reports business is a little better than last year at this time, but buying has been deferred until this week due to the unseasonable weather. A peculiar trend is noted in that Charlie McCarthy, the radio imp. has replaced Mickey Mouse as the favorite of children in toys and books. New Brunswick is hoping for a spurt in buying between now and Christmas. Prince Edward Islands habitually wait for the last two weeks before Christmas to do their heavy shopping. In Toronlo, effects of the unsettled stock market are reflected in lessened Christmas buying, especially in luxuries. The weather nas had a slowing influence on clothing and footwear sales. But de partment stores and smaller shops are remaining open nights in the downtown area from now until Christmas and the evening shopping crowds are growing in size. Winnipeg reports seasonal buying slack compared to last year, but expect a late rush which might bring business up to the 1936 level. At Regina the reports are that more people are at work than for several years and business is 10 to 15 per cent better than a year ago. Lethbridge merchants say fair crops in Alberta have been a big factor in improved retail business, but farmers are using much of their money to pay back taxes and meet other obligations. Calgary shopkeepers declare business is better than normal, with some retailers holding that cash transactions are not as numerous as they were in '36. •The Chamber of Commerce at Ed monton reports more mail order business from the north country than in previous years. Store executives in Vancouver say indications are that there will be a fair increase in Christmas buying over last year. A tendency to question price less than usual, and to seek more expensive and more practical gifts, is noted in Vancouver. Victoria retailers see a general improvement over last year, with activity in jewelry, footwear and wearing apparel. Trail and Nelson, in the interior of British Columbia, provide the information that the tinkle of cash registers has been pianissimo lately but in building up to acrescendo.

Skipper Who Made 17.000-Mile Trip in 23-Foot Ketch Dodges Reception HALIFAX, Dec. 15 (CD-Chuckling at how he avoided a civic reception, Captain Bill Crowell was back home today in Yarmouth, his 17,000-mile odyssey now only a succession of memories. A welcoming committee of Yarmouth officials and other residents was set to meet the 56-year-old mariner at the railroad station. He left here July 16, 1936. aboard the 23- foot ketch Queen Mary, sailed down the Atlantic coast, through the Panama Canal and up the Pacific coast to Vancouver. His sole shipmate was his dog "Togo." But the bronzed skipper came on a train that arrived four hours earli er than he expected. And, back home, Crowell was loathe to discuss the voyage that followed seven years' planning.

You might wonder why the philosophy. Well, it's just an introduction to the dim ray of light which has'cast a reflection up Rossland way. Rene Morin tells us that Immigration authorities are Investigating the pretences of Canadian hockey players In Spokane at Gonzaga university. Rene adds that they all might be sent back to Canada. You will remember that four of these contentious pucksters were brought to Rossland from eastern points to build up a hockey club. Of course, it remains to be seen, if they are sent back to Canada, whether they will return to Rossland or their native haunts. Nevertheless, we gathered from what Mr. Morin said, that he would welcome them back to the fold. But then there's the question of jobs to be reconsidered. • • * Despite the fact that Rossland was beaten by a handsome margin by Trail Smoke Eaters, we don't for a minute believe, that even with their present set-up, Miners are going to continue to take in duplicate, a beating like that. It is not difficult to recall that Morin was put in charge of the "left-overs", known as the Trail Canucks last season, and they won many games, and also won favor in the eyes of the fans. Morin has administered the fight "hypo" to the Rossland club this year, and when the boys have had a chance to get in a little practice and team work, we anticipate seeing the "hypo" take effect. • • * When you've been inside the Trail rink, or any other rink in the west, have you just gazed at the huge sheet of congealed aqua and appraised it? If you haven't, try to sneak into the Trail rink on a Sunday and sec Trail Smoke Eaters, Rossland Miners and Trail juniors practicing. Every minute counts, and it's a queer thing, but coaches' watches are always a few minutes behind the caretaker's. Or is his advanced a little? There's one gang of lads which gets a real thrill out of the use of the Trail rink ice, and that is the gang, or should wc say pack, of rink rats. While waiting for K. A. Mar- geson and Dr. W. A. Coghlin to finish a delayed game of curling the other night, we heard great shouts of merriment from the arena, and bobbing in saw the "rats" scurrying about the ice sheet. Boy, oh boy, if hockey were only played like these "rodents" play it There was no referee on the ice. No doubt there was one there at the outset, but judging from the shape of the game was in at that particular time, one reflected that he might have been carried off bodily. Tommy Home, goaltender, was getting the worst of it. If he came out of his net a stick shoved against the back of one leg soon dumped him . . . and then a stickful of ice scrapings was scooped in his face . . . but Tommy came up fighting, dropped his stick and went after the culprit In "rassler" fashion ... A rugby pile of human cord-wood resulted . . . they all smiled . . . some laughed . . . ihey rose to their feet and kept nn going. Who wouldn't be a kid again? « • * What a coach won't do to get his club going! Rene Morin appeared at a recent practice, wearing a pair of skates that looked like something his grandfather might have worn. Rone's skates were under the feet of one of his team. • * * "is Elmer (PIPE) Piper, Trail Smoke Eater coach, wearing a proud smile upon his physiognomy these days? We imagine the men lor of the Lothbiidgc Icanf is wearing a like smile, for both teams have won two games in as many starts. And aren't the Trail fans delighted! Lethbridge and Trail meet for the first time in the loop at Trail on December 21. That fix-" ture ought to be a lollipolluzer. • • • We haven't seen "Bunny" Dams lo get the tip-off on what other rule fans are clamoring to know so we'll start at the beginning of Canadian Amateur Hockey association, 1938 hockey rule book. First in it, are the "Laws of Ice Hockey'1 as adopted by tho Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, revised to October, 1937. Rule No. 1 follows: "The garde of ice hockey shal} be played by teams of six players on a sheet of ice, known as a rink, Each player shall wear skates of an approved style. The use of skates known as 'reachers' or of any skate so designed that it may cause injury is prohibited. EacH player shall carry a hockey stick of regulation size for the purpose of propelling the 'puck'. A playe» (except a goal-keeper) without a complete stick is out of play and may not take any part in the game until he has gained possession of another stick at his bench. If a player wilh a broken stick plays the puck, the referee shall stop th* play and order a face-off at the spot where the puck was so played — except as otherwise provided. A stick chopped at the tip, properly protected by tape shall not ba considered as a broken stick. Nea» each end of the rink goals shall be placed. It shall be the object of one team to propel tiie puck in such a manner that it shall pass into the goal of the opposing team. The team scoring the greater number of goals in the time prescribed for the playing of a 'match' shall be the winners of that match. "Note — Any six players not under penalty shall constitute a team, and a goal-keeper may be removed and another player substituted, but only ONE member of that team shall have the goal-keeper's privileges. The manager shall designate the player who shall be entitled to those privileges, and in case no designation is made, the player who is substituted for the goal-keeper shall be deemed to bo the goal-keeper. (Sec also Rule No. 12 and notes.) "There is no penalty for a player playing the puck with a broken stick or where such a player has lost his stidk except where such player has DELIBERATELY dropped his stick and played the puck with his skates or body for the purposes of stopping the game. In the latter event a minor penalty shall be imposed in all cases. Face- off shall take place at the point where the infraction occured. "Where player has broken his stick and instead of returning to the bench for another stick, one of his teammates on the bench throws a stick to him on the ice, a misconduct penalty shall be imposed on the player so throwing the stick."

He pointed out that many railway model builders were not rail- waymen, but professional and business men in other branches of industry. The hobby, he said, seemed as universal as stamp collecting. Scales of models differed, the locomotive foreman said, and so did the types of models, so that a club such as Mr. Riddell suggested would have to be designed to take in all railway models, regardless of size or scale. The association, he said, is sending out a call to any interested in the hobby to line up with, the movement.
