PATERSON, late of\nW0 Seymour St. Vancouver, B.C. Colemsn. Alta., Proprietor\nDufferin Hotel\nMORE ABOUT\nSTIBBS OFFERS\n(Continued From Paoe One)\nSTREET BETTERMENT\nHe stated Wednesday that he believed in an energetic program of\nstreet construction. This important\nwork, he said, should be placed on\na systematic basis of hard surfacing\nof Nelson streets. If this were done,\nstated Alderman Stibbs, the public\nwould not only benefit from better\nstreets, which would facilitate traffic and reduce the dust nuisance,\nbut annual maintenance costs would\nbo practically wiped out. He said\nthat he was in favor of the continuous operation of the rock crushing\nplant, so that a supply of crushed\nrock would always be on hand\nwhen needed. This plant, he stated,\nshould be kept in operation 12\nmonths of the year, which would\nhave the effect of reducing winter\nunemployment.\nWith regard to the gas plant, Alderman Stibbs advocates a thorough\nstudy with a view to the extension\nof the gas service to Fairview. He\nbelieves that if the mains were so\nextended the large population in\nthat area of the city would be greatly benefited by the addition of this\nservice for cooking and other purposes, that the additional .revenue\nwould be profitable lo the gas plant\ndepartment, and to some extent the\nload on the electric power plant\nwould be relieved.\nKEEP UP WATER\nSYSTEM\nAlderman Stibbs spoke strongly\nin favor of maintenance of the water\nsupply which should always be adequate for all needs. He urges the\noverhauling of the pipe line, Improvements to the intake, and speed\nIng up of work on the distribution\nsystem. He considers that it would\nbe good policy to complete the re\nmodelling and extension of the distribution system as early as possible\nand carry on the work throughout\nthe year, and especially during the\nmonths when employment is most\nneeded.\nThe mayoralty candidate has been\nan active chairman of the\ncommittee. This committee is also\nin charge of the cemetery. He states\nthat if elected mayor, he will continue the improvement program in\nthe parks which has been commenced, and that he will press negotiations with the provincial government so that the government may\nbe prevailed upon to carry out the\narrangement already discussed, under which the provincial public\nworks department is to grade and\nhard-surface the cemetery road.\nOpposing rany increase in taxation, Alderman Stibbs states that he\nis strongly in favor of carrying out\nimprovements and doing maintenance work from revenue, rather\nthan from ncw bond issues. Always,\nhe says, in dealing wilh civic finance, the desirability of bringin\nabout a decrease in the tax rate\nshpuld be kept in mind.\nCANADA~TITLE SKI\nTOURNEY DATES\nPOSTPONED\nVANCOUVER, Dec. 15 ~-\n69c $1.19 10c $1.95\n$1.00\nPhone 73\nfihH\nBurns Block\nREADY-TO-WEAR\nFOOTWEAR H\nCHILDREN'S WEAR\near!\nJS9K0\nwhich further outrages can be prevented.\"\nPREVI0U8 INCIDENTS\nIt then recalled previous incident-s\nin which the Japaneie government\nexpressed regret and gave assurances\nadequate steps had been taken to\nprevent any repetition.\n\"It li clear that atept hitherto\ntaken by the Japaneie government\nto prevent luoh atueki have \u2022\u00ab\nfar failed In that purpose and Hli\nMajeity'i oovernment muit now\naik that they be Informed that\nmeaiurei have aotually been taken\nof a ohtraoter whloh will put \u2022definite itop to the Ineldonti of which\nthey complain.\" the note concluded.\nAt the request of Clement Attlee,\nlabor leader, Prime Mlntater Chamberlain agreed to a debate on foreign affairs In the house ot commons.\nIt was scheduled for Tuesday, with\nMr. Eden as the first speaker for the\ngovernment.\nHOUSE LAUGHS\nMembers of the house listened at\ntentively as Mr. Eden discussed the\nBritish communication, but a ripple\nof ironic laughter ran around the\nchamber when he read a passage-\nof the Japanese note which expressed earnest hope that \"the occurrence\nof an unfortunate Incident\" would\nnot damage the traditional friendship of Britain and Japan.\nMORE ABOUT\nROWELL HEARING\n(Continued From Page One)\nPROGRAM OUTLINED\nSince Interest rates were under\ncontrol of the federal government,\ntho board suggested the Dominion\ngovernment should take Immediate\nsteps to adopt a comprehensive\nprogram along the lines suggested,\nthese to include:\n1.

The digestive sys\ntern converts food jnto a form suitable fqr use as energy and tissue; the\nheart pumps this around in the\nblood; the different cells take it up;\nthe kidneys and skin throw off the\nwaste products. But all of these different functions are beautifully correlated so that they do not get in\neach other's way. They are not beforehand or behind time, and every\nthing works out smoothly.\nTo a very large extent the business\nof making all these things work out\nso well is done by the thyroid gland.\nWe pointed out yesterday its effect\nupon weight. When its secretion is\nexcessive, the weight loss of the\nbody is rapid, and increased intake\nof food, even to an excessive extent,\ndoes not result in replacement of the\nweight loss.\nMAINTAINS BODY\nTEMPERATURE\nAnother thing that the thyroid\nundoubtedly helps to maintain is\nbodily temperature. All of our functions are carried on best at the exact\nlevel of 98.2 degrees F. Our functions\ndo not operate well when we are\nchilled or when we have fever, and\nby many intricate processes the\nbody maintains this exact tempera-\nlure for its own efficiency. People\nwith excessive thyroid secretion are\nalways warm, require less bed clothing and fewer clothes than others,\nand those with diminished thyroid\nsecretion are always cold.\nIts control over the muscles is notable. A large part of our body is\nmuscle, and the muscles must maintain a certain tone in order to function vigorously.

Because of his commonplace\nbackground, he feels himself an outsider until he meets Lionel Clark, of\nSt. Louis, in his senior year. Jerry\nfinds that Lionel is a cousin of Mimi\nLe Brun, a girl he had admired\nseveral years before while visiting\nWashington with his uncle. Mimi,\ngranddaughter of a late senator, is\nabout to make her debut, Lionel\ntells him. Jerry and Lionel are\nwriting a play together. Lionel receives a letter from Mimi in which\nshe writes about Olga, a young\nwoman who married their grandfather, and his wealth, shortly before he died. Lionel invites Jerry\nto spend part of his vacation at his\nstep-grandmother's camp in Maine.\nJeJrry is elated as he anticipates\nmeeting Mimi who will be there\ntoo. Taking to horses, after meeting\nOlga, as soon as they reach camp,\nLionel leaves Jerry for a moment\nto join one of the other young\npeople.\nNOW GO ON WITH THE STORY:\nCHAPTER 12\nMy horse and I came at last to\nan open space which was clear of\ntrees. As we approached it, my\neye was caught by something which\nlay directly in our path, lt was\na woman's hat, a little Alpine-\npeaked thing of soft green felt,\nand stuck in the side, so that it\nslanted above the crown and caught\nthe light in a gleam of iridescence,\nwas a peacock's feather!\nCinderella's Prince was no surer\nthat the glass slipper belonged to\nthe maiden he sought than was\nI that the hat with the shining\nfeather belonged to Mimi Le Brun.\nI felt she must be near yet though\nmy eyes swept the open space and\nthe shaded depths beyond, I could\nsee no sign of her. I picked up the\nhat and had it in my right hand\nwhen a man appeared suddenly at\nmy right, rounding a great tamarack tree which had hidden him.\nHe was on foot, was very tall, very\ndark, and wore riding clothes of\nirreproachable style and finish. He\nfrowned when he saw me standing\nwith the hat in my hand.\n\"Give it to me,\" he said. \"Miss\nLe Brun lost it.\"\nI did not like his manner, but I\nhanded him the hat, saying: \"I am\nJerry Chandler, Lionel Clark's\nguest- The rest of the party have\nridden on.\"\nHe did net acknowledge my introduction of myself by giving me\nhis own name. \"We heard them\ngo,\" he said, and his words confirmed my belief that Mimi was\nnot far away.\n1 felt, however, that the presence of the dark man struck a\njarring note in my romantic symphony. I would go away at once\nand leave her to him.\nBut he surprised me by handing\nthe hat back to me. \"You might\nas well take it to her,\" he said,\n\"and I'll catch up with the rest.\"\nHe had hardly finished his sentence when he strode on to where\nhis horse was hitched, and presently I heard the pounding of departing hoofs.\nIn a whirl of conflicting emotions I dismounted and went toward the place where the man had\nemerged. At first I saw no one;\nthen suddenly I was aware of a\nbright banner flaming against the\nnaked whiteness of a group of\nbirches, I had to look twice, however, to discover that the bright\nbanner was a woman's hair. Her\nriding clothes were of a rough\ngray cloth that melted into the\nbackground. She was leaning\nagainst one of the trees, and her\nback was toward me.\nShe was taller than when I had\nseen her last, but her hair was tied\nwith a black ribbon, just as it had\nbeen tied when as a child she had\nlunched with her grandfather in\nthe senate restaurant.\nA twig snapped under.my feet,\nand without turning she said, \"I\ntold you not to come back, Andy.\"\n\"It is not\u2014Andy.\"\nShe flung herself around and\nlooked at me, and it was then I\nsaw she had been crying.\n\"Who are you?\" she demanded.\n\"Jerry Chandler.\"\n\"Lionel's friend?\"\n\"Yes. I found your hat, and the\nman who came out of the woods\nsaid you were here,\"\n\"Andy Fuller\u2014\" She hesitated,\nbut confessed the truth. \"We were\nhaving a peach of a quarrel. I told\nhim to go away and not to come\nback.\"\nI just stood looking at her. It\nseemed to me incredible that I had\nmet her at last, lovelier than in\nall my dreams of her, in spite of\nthe tears which stained her cheeks.\n\"I always cry when I am angry,\"\nshe said. \"It is a silly thing to\ndo, but Andy made me furious.\nAnd I told him what I thought of\nhim. I think he was afraid to come\nback.\"\n\"I am sure he must have been,\"\nI told her; \"he looked it.\"\nWe sat down on a log and she\nlook her hat from mc, then stood\nup as if to scrutinize me better. \"So\nyou are Jerry,\" she said. \"Lion has\ntold me a lot about you. How did\nyou happen to come through here?\nWhere's Lion?\"\n\"He went on with the others.\nBut this was all so wonderful that\nI wanted to be alone with it.\"\nShe looked at me with evident\ninterest and returned to the log,\n\"Yes,\" she- said, \"it is wonderful.\nYou've never been here before?\"\nI smiled down at her. \"I've never\nbeen anywhere.\"\nI surprised her, I think, by my\nhonest confession. I surprised, indeed, myself,\n\"How interesting' to know that\nyou have it all before you!\"\n\"Well, it is.\" I was afraid to\nbreathe lest I spoil the enchant-\nment of the moment. It was almost impossible to believe that she\nwas really there ,so delicate, so\nfine.\n\"This isn't the first time I have\nseen you,\" I went on. \"You were\nin the senate restaurant years ago,\nwith your grandfather, and my\nuncle and I were eating lunch near\nyou.\"\n\"How did you know who I was?\"\n\"I asked my uncle, and he said\nyou were Mimi Le Brun.\"\nHer dark-irised eyes were shadowed. \"It was the last time I had\ngrandfather all to myself. The next\nyear he married Olga.\"\nShe seemed to float away from\nme on a sea of memory. I brought\nher back.\n\"You had a peacock's feather in\nyour hat then. Do you always wear\nthem?\"\n\"Oh\u2014yes.\" She stood up. \"We\nmust be going or we shall be late\nfor dinner.\" She lifted her face to\nme. \"When I get back to the Camp,\nwill everybody know I have been\ncrying?\"\nI had to admit, \"They might.\"\nI'll wet my handkerchief in the\npool and freshen up a bit.\"\n\"Let me wet mine.\"\nI brought it back to her, and she\nhad me hold a little mirror which\nshe fished out of her pocket, She\nhad. too, an infinitesimal powder-\npuff, and she touched her checks\nwith it, and her nose and chin. Her\nown skin was rose-leaf, and she\ndid not need any artificial aids,\nyet I must confess that the faint\nperfume of the powder, and her\nface so clqse to mine as I held the\nmirror, set my pulses pounding-\nShe put on her hat, and we went\ntogether to where her horse was\ntied to a tree.\n\"What did you think,\" she asked,\nas we rode along, \"when you found\nmy hat?\"\n\"I wondered how it came there.\nI thought there might have been\nan accident.\"\n\"There wasn't,\" dryly. \"I threw\nit at Andy.'\nShe made no further explanation,\nand there was silence for several\nmoments, while I was consumed\nwitli curiosity as to what the dark\nman could have done that she\nshould throw her hat at him!\n(To Be Continued)\nSonnysayings\nMuffin' makes mo bo hungry as\nChristmas shockin'.

It did not begin like\nthe usual \"have met a nice young\nman,\" etc. It stated that I might\nthink it was odd for a girl her age\nto call herself lonesome. She has\na mother she loves dearly, but to\nwhom she can tell nothing about\nherself.\nTo me that is one of life's great\ntragedies, and it is a tragedy that\nis all too common. Why are not\nmothers and daughters better\nfriends? Of course minions are, and\nyet I have known so many cases\nwhere they were miles apart, and\nwhen daughter needed advice or\nsympathy she turned to some outsider.\nI don't know whom to feel most\nsorry for\u2014daughter or mother.\nDaughter heeds a mother's sympathetic and wise guidance. And as\nmother grows older how very much\nshe needs the gay and gallant, and\noften wise comradeship of the\nyounger woman! She misses so\nmuch when she is not the type of\nwoman who wins it.\nPlease, mothers, don't be shocked. Or if that is asking too much,\ndon't let it be known that you are\nshocked. Be up-to-date, know what\nis going on in the world. Realize\nthat young people learn by experience, just as you have been doing.\nYou, too, passed through that stage\nof wanting to shock your elders. It\npassed, and maybe you have grown\ntoo far in the other direction. That\nis sad, and a jolt is needed to wake\nyou up.\nTry to understand your young\nfolk and sympathize with, understand and love them, and you'll get\nso very much out of the association\nwith them. You'll never be that saddest of all people\u2014the neglected\nmother. Neglected because she\ncould not grow with the world and\nwith her children, and so lost them.\nOnly \"duty\" brings them to her\nside. '\nAnd Lonesome, dear, try to get\ncloser to your mother. Try to give\nher little confidences, and maybe\nshe will encourage you so that as\ntime goes on you'can tell her big\nones and you will not be lonesome\nany more.\nUse Skin Balm .\nPerfectly Groomed Fingertips\nAre Essential lo Lovely Hands\nBy GLADYS GLAD\nThe girl of today who realizes the\ncharm that a beautiful hand holds\nwithin its grasp, uses a good skin\nbalm or hand lotion on them daily,\nin order to keep them soft and\nsmooth. And she is particularly\ncareful that her nails are always\nperfectly groomed and manicured.\nBeautiful hands are not only\nJUNE LANG\nShows Her Pretty Hand\ngraceful and expressive, but they\nare also smooth, white and shapely\nas well. The fingertips are perfectly groomed. They are given corrective treatments the minute they\nbegin to show any least sign of\nroughness, and no hard, caJloused\nbits of skin accumulate at tne sides\nof the nails or on the tips of the\nfirfgers.\nHarsh, rough-skinned hands certainly do not in any way enhance a\ngirl's allure. Even in the most romantic setting in the world, it's hard\nfor a Romeo to get properly sentimental if the hand of his Juliet feels\nhardened and toilworn when he\nholds it.\nIt is the skin at the sides of the\nfingernails that generally becomes\ndry and rough more quickly than\nany other part of the hands.\nThrough friction, pressure and the\nlike, tiny, rough-edged callouses and\nhard bits of skin form at the fingertips and around the nails.\nOf course, when a girl gets a\nprofessional manicure at a reliable\nbeauty salon, these small callouses\nare usually cut away with cuticle\nclippers, but I am not very much\nin favor of this method of eradicating them. Hangnails may develop\ntoo easily after such cutting\u2014and\nhangnails can be just as painful as\nthey are unattractive. What's more,\nif the manicurist is at all careless,\nshe may cut a bit too deeply and\nmake the fingertips entirely too\nsensitive.\nA far better and simpler method\nof ridding the fingertips of such\nunpleasant deadened cuticle is\nthrough the use of powdered pumice and pure olive oil. After cleansing your hands at night, make a\npaste of powdered pumice and olive\noil, and apply it generously to the\nhardened skin.\nAllow this paste to remain on for\na while, so that the oil may do its\nwork. Then rub the paste briskly\nover the calloused spots. The powdered pumice will remove any\ndeadened tissue, and the oil will lubricate the skin, thus leaving the\nfingertips soft, smooth and attractive.\nIHiniL foA,\nKoumwwsll\nBy MRS.

'\nThat these conclusions are justified is shown by figures\nof newsprint consumption collected by the Newsprint Service bureau, and tabulated in the \"latest letter of the Royal\nBank of Canada. In order to have a large circulation,.newspapers must use newsprint, so that the consumption of\nnewsprint, which is almost exclusively used for newspaper\nwork, should be a very fair indication of the number of\nnewspapers that are read by the people of each country.\nIt will be noted that the democratic countries of the\nworld lead by a long way in the consumption of newsprint\nper capita. The figures of 1936 give the per capita consumption in the United Kingdom as 60 pounds, this being\nclosely followed by Australia and New Zealand with 58\npounds, and by the United States with 57 pounds. Canada\nis fourth with 36. Other countries in order are as follows:\nArgentina 27, Scandinavia 26, Netherlands 23, Belgium and\nSwitzerland 21, France 18, Finland 12.\nCompared with these may be placed Germany, with\n11 pounds per capita, which is a considerable drop, since\nformerly Germany published some of the most widely cir-\nculated and influential papers in Europe. Russia and Italy\nuse only three pounds per capita, a fact which is not so remarkable in the case of Russia, whose huge population was\nnot long ago largely illiterate and has probably not yet become accustomed to the regular reading of newspapers,\nbut is significant in the case of the dictator-ruled Italy.\nIn Japan the use of newsprint has been gradually increasing\nand is now 13 pounds per capita.\nDoes it not appear that the newspaper is an important\ninstrument of democracy? It is natural that, in countries\nwhere the people must make economic, social and poltlcal\ndecisions for themselves, there will come an almost automatic demand for a wider scope of information, while in\nabsolutist countries, where all decisions are made by dictators and cannot be challenged by the people, the general\npublic takes no interest in anything except the decrees\nwhich they are bound unquestionably to obey.\nThat the public of Canada and the United States maintained a high level of demand for newspapers, even under\nthe adverse circumstances of. severe depression, is significant, and, while Canadian demand iB not at as high levels\nas that in some countries, it is a noteworthy fact that in\nthe past few years the rate of increase in the circulation\nof newspapers in Canada has been far greater than it has\nbeen in those countries where the per capita consumption\nof newsprint has been at the highest levels.\nV* Questions I?\nANSWERS\nThis column ot questions and\nanswers Is open to any reader oi\nthe Nllson Daily News.

Allen's new record\nsupplants that of Bob Grove, veter\nan left-hander, who won 31 and lost\n4 for Philadelphia in 1930 for a .886\nperecentage, As a first year pitcher\nin the league with New York in 1932,\nAllen led the league with a won-and-\nlost pecentage of .810.\nWhile pacing the N;w York club\nto the championship with his airtight twirling, Gomez was the only\npitcher in the league to win over 20\ngames, winding up the race with 21\nto his credit, against 11 defeats. His\nteam-mate, Charlie Ruffing, was the\nonly other 20-game pitcher in the\ncircuit, with a record of 20 victories\nand seven defeats.\nGomez' earned-run average was\nthe lowest in the league since 1934,\nwhen he led the league again with\nexactly the same figure.

He left\nhere July 16, 1936. aboard the 23-\nfoot ketch Queen Mary, sailed down\nthe Atlantic coast, through the Panama Canal and up the Pacific coast\nto Vancouver. His sole shipmate was\nhis dog \"Togo.\"\nBut the bronzed skipper came on\na train that arrived four hours earli\ner than he expected. And, back\nhome, Crowell was loathe to discuss the voyage that followed seven\nyears' planning. An accident which\nleft him crippled six years ago\ncaused most of the delay in building the sturdy boat. Crowell built\nthe Queen Mary himself and outfitted her.\nThe trip was not all \"easy going.\"\nOnce off Cape Hatteras he struck\none of lhe gales that make the Cape\ndreaded by skippers of large crafl\nand had to lash \"Togo\" to the ship\nto prevent him from being washed\noverboard. Tho Queen Mary was\nhove-tn for the better part of four\ndays before the gale blew itself out.\n.\n w*m\nmmmmmmmmm, _ , <.<\u00ab4.\u00ab.^ *\u00bb\u00ab\ni~*imm**wp**Hnmmmxmmwf~,\n********}\nieal Higher\nfinnipeg Market\nWINNIPEG, Dec. 15 (CP).-In-\nntfficient December wheat offerings\no meet demand caused that option\nb move ahead more than four cents\ntor the second consecutive day oh\nWinnipeg grain exchange today.\nQther futures gained more than two\nients for the second consecutive day\njn Winnipeg grain exchange today.\nOther futures gained more than two\ntents.

the foundation\nof hope. Without lt, we would have\nno amateur ranks, which would\nmean no professional ranks.\nYou might wonder why the philosophy. Well, it's just an introduction to the dim ray of light\nwhich has'cast a reflection up Rossland way.\nRene Morin tells us that Immigration authorities are Investigating the pretences of Canadian hockey players In Spokane at\nGonzaga university. Rene adds\nthat they all might be sent back\nto Canada.\nYou will remember that four of\nthese contentious pucksters were\nbrought to Rossland from eastern\npoints to build up a hockey club.\nOf course, it remains to be seen,\nif they are sent back to Canada,\nwhether they will return to Rossland or their native haunts.\nNevertheless, we gathered from\nwhat Mr. Morin said, that he would\nwelcome them back to the fold.\nBut then there's the question of\njobs to be reconsidered.\n\u2022 \u2022 *\nDespite the fact that Rossland\nwas beaten by a handsome margin\nby Trail Smoke Eaters, we don't\nfor a minute believe, that even\nwith their present set-up, Miners\nare going to continue to take in\nduplicate, a beating like that.\nIt is not difficult to recall that\nMorin was put in charge of the\n\"left-overs\", known as the Trail\nCanucks last season, and they won\nmany games, and also won favor in\nthe eyes of the fans. Morin has administered the fight \"hypo\" to the\nRossland club this year, and when\nthe boys have had a chance to get\nin a little practice and team work,\nwe anticipate seeing the \"hypo\"\ntake effect.\n\u2022 \u2022 *\nWhen you've been inside the\nTrail rink, or any other rink in\nthe west, have you just gazed at\nthe huge sheet of congealed aqua\nand appraised it?\nIf you haven't, try to sneak into\nthe Trail rink on a Sunday and sec\nTrail Smoke Eaters, Rossland Miners and Trail juniors practicing.\nEvery minute counts, and it's a\nqueer thing, but coaches' watches\nare always a few minutes behind\nthe caretaker's. Or is his advanced\na little?\nThere's one gang of lads which\ngets a real thrill out of the use of\nthe Trail rink ice, and that is the\ngang, or should wc say pack, of\nrink rats.\nWhile waiting for K. A. Mar-\ngeson and Dr. W. A. Coghlin to\nfinish a delayed game of curling\nthe other night, we heard great\nshouts of merriment from the arena,\nand bobbing in saw the \"rats\"\nscurrying about the ice sheet. Boy,\noh boy, if hockey were only played like these \"rodents\" play it\nThere was no referee on the ice.\nNo doubt there was one there at\nthe outset, but judging from the\nshape of the game was in at that\nparticular time, one reflected that\nhe might have been carried off\nbodily.\nTommy Home, goaltender, was\ngetting the worst of it. If he came\nout of his net a stick shoved\nagainst the back of one leg soon\ndumped him . . . and then a stickful of ice scrapings was scooped in\nhis face . . . but Tommy came up\nfighting, dropped his stick and\nwent after the culprit In \"rassler\"\nfashion ... A rugby pile of human\ncord-wood resulted . . . they all\nsmiled . . . some laughed . . . ihey\nrose to their feet and kept nn going.\nWho wouldn't be a kid again?\n\u00ab \u2022 *\nWhat a coach won't do to get\nhis club going! Rene Morin appeared at a recent practice, wearing a\npair of skates that looked like something his grandfather might have\nworn. Rone's skates were under the\nfeet of one of his team.\n\u2022 * *\n\"is Elmer (PIPE) Piper, Trail\nSmoke Eater coach, wearing a\nproud smile upon his physiognomy these days? We imagine the\nmen lor of the Lothbiidgc Icanf is\nwearing a like smile, for both teams\nhave won two games in as many\nstarts. And aren't the Trail fans\ndelighted! Lethbridge and Trail\nmeet for the first time in the loop\nat Trail on December 21.

First\nin it, are the \"Laws of Ice Hockey'1\nas adopted by tho Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, revised\nto October, 1937.\nRule No. 1 follows:\n\"The garde of ice hockey shal}\nbe played by teams of six players\non a sheet of ice, known as a rink,\nEach player shall wear skates\nof an approved style. The use of\nskates known as 'reachers' or of\nany skate so designed that it may\ncause injury is prohibited. EacH\nplayer shall carry a hockey stick\nof regulation size for the purpose\nof propelling the 'puck'. A playe\u00bb\n(except a goal-keeper) without a\ncomplete stick is out of play and\nmay not take any part in the game\nuntil he has gained possession of\nanother stick at his bench. If a\nplayer wilh a broken stick plays\nthe puck, the referee shall stop th*\nplay and order a face-off at the\nspot where the puck was so played \u2014 except as otherwise provided.\nA stick chopped at the tip, properly protected by tape shall not ba\nconsidered as a broken stick. Nea\u00bb\neach end of the rink goals shall be\nplaced. It shall be the object of one\nteam to propel tiie puck in such a\nmanner that it shall pass into the\ngoal of the opposing team. The team\nscoring the greater number of goals\nin the time prescribed for the playing of a 'match' shall be the winners\nof that match.\n\"Note \u2014 Any six players not\nunder penalty shall constitute a\nteam, and a goal-keeper may be\nremoved and another player substituted, but only ONE member of\nthat team shall have the goal-keeper's privileges. The manager shall\ndesignate the player who shall be\nentitled to those privileges, and in\ncase no designation is made, the\nplayer who is substituted for the\ngoal-keeper shall be deemed to bo\nthe goal-keeper. (Sec also Rule No.\n12 and notes.)\n\"There is no penalty for a player\nplaying the puck with a broken\nstick or where such a player has\nlost his stidk except where such\nplayer has DELIBERATELY dropped his stick and played the puck\nwith his skates or body for the purposes of stopping the game. In\nthe latter event a minor penalty\nshall be imposed in all cases. Face-\noff shall take place at the point\nwhere the infraction occured.\n\"Where player has broken his\nstick and instead of returning to\nthe bench for another stick, one of\nhis teammates on the bench throws\na stick to him on the ice, a misconduct penalty shall be imposed on\nthe player so throwing the stick.\"\nHave You Some\nUSED\nSHOES\nj\n\u25a0\nWhy Not Turn\nThem Into Cash?,\nA WINT AD\nWill Find a\nPurchaser\nTwo (2) lines 6 times 80c net\nTwo (2) lines once 20c net\nPHONE 144\nNelson Daily News\n \"\u25a0\u25a0 - - \u25a0 ' \"' - \u25a0 %ll llt-M\n-\u00a3.Me!s, said.the club.was making\nTABLE CENTRE8 FOR PARTIES.\nCHOCOLATE T0Y8, 8MOKING\nSET8.
