BicKle puf through a property transfer in which he and Mr. Fraser Biscoe of the Valley centre were the principals. By this transaction Mr. Bickle came into possession of the Gaiety Theatre at Courtenay. It has been known for some time that Mr. Biscoe was desirous of disposing of his interests, not because of lack of faith in his district but because he desired to make a change of residence. The new proprietor of the Gaiety, always full of optimism, has expressed his intention of increasing the capacity of the theatre, adding a new lighting system, and seating accommodation, the work to be taken in hand probably this summer. Mr. Bickle now operates the picture houses at both Cumberland and Courtenay, he having shown his faith in the future of the coal city some time ago when he took over the Ilo-Ilo when business seemed anything but rosy. But as he says business is not made in a day and if one is to make good he must live and think in tho present and the future. Formerly the Gaiety Theatre has been running only three nights a week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but from the day it comes into its new management there will be one show each night, with the exception of those occasions when dances will be held. Government Is Urged To Build Connecting Link The Victoria Chamber ot Commerce Is urging the Government to construct a connection link between the Island Highway and the West Coast or the Alberni district. Residents of Cumberland will be interested ln the project as the proposed road would probably skirt the western shore of Comox Lake one of the beauty spots of Comox district. The distance Is not great and should the proposal be carried to fruition would be the means of providing motorists with new scenic attraction unrivalled anywhere else on the Island. At present when tourists come to this compelled to return over the same road that brought them here, but by the construction of less than twenty HOME COOKING SALE WAS GREAT SUCCESS The home-cooking sale held by the Pythian Sisters in Mrs. L. Frances- cinl's store last Saturday was a success In every way, everything being gold and quite a large sum being realized. The sisters wish to thank the public for their support o( su,'l' a good cause as the proceeds helped to swell the lodge's side-fund which Is used for charitable purposes. Fire Completely Destroys Residence A fire which destroyed nearly all the furnltur« and personal effects of i»rt"rt-;Vanco.W.*;^ Lak(! miles of road connecting the East and who were out ,n the garAen Trail Road, "took place on Thursday afternoon. The Are vas flrst noticed shortly after noontime by the family The West Coasts a circuit would be made and all through the most picturesque scenery. While it would not be near ly so extensive as the international Georgian Circuit, lt certainly would have a very strong tendency to increase motor traffic on the Island with a consequent increase ln business for the towns of this district. Cumberland is for the new link. What Is The Price Of Pleasure? She snatched at one week of pleasure—and then paid the price! 4 young girl, a department store clerk, drudges so hard and endlessly that she tells a woman friend that she would give her life for just one week of real pleasure. A young man . hearing' her, tells her that he is willing to take her up and will give her the week ot pleasure she yearns for. During the week however the couple fall ln love with one another, and when the time comes to separate, they And themselves unable to, and so marry, But—our hero is a wealthy young man of high standing, and our heroine only a poor shop girl—which causes the emotional complications and dramatic situations which go to make one of the most heart rending pictures ever shown ln the city of Cumberland. "The Price of Pleasure" Is show Ing at the Ilo-Ilo Theatre this week end, Friday and Saturday, March 13 and 14. The human appeal is strong all the way through, some of the situations being so deeply appealing, that it ls Impossible not to feel their Intensity. One cannot help for Instance being moved at the sight ot a woman being separated from her husband who loves her as completely as she does htm—a separation being made by the husband's haughty mother and sister.

This is a picture you should not miss! alarm was given and the Courtenay Flre Department made a remarkably quick response, being started on their way before the ceasing of the alarm. The fire evidently started in the tront part of the house, and by the time the department reached the scene, had gained too much headway to effect any good excepting to save tho garage and prevent spread. The building was the property of Mrs. Dilman of Minto, and was covered by Insurance. Mrs. Herd and family are for the present living with her brother, Archibald Stenhouse of Courtenay. R. H.

I Shadow Ht Cant glt'ava\\ from; a. w. neill stresses NEED OF DEFENCES FOR CANADA'S PACIFIC COAST Local Treasury Enriched By $915 Chief of Police Cope, assisted by Provincial Constables Matthews, Russell and Stuart got real busy last Saturday night, and raided premises suspected of illegally handling beer. They were successful In three different hotels, the accused appearing in police court on Wednesday to answer the charge of having beer Illegally on their business premises. Tliey all pleaded guilty and Police Magistrate E. W. Bickle assessed each the minimum fine under amendments to tho Liquor Act. Ab a consequence each was ordered to hand over to the Court a fine of three hundred dollars and five dollars costs, making the city treasury richer by the sum of nine hundred and fifteen dollars, a fair day's business. It is a long time since a prosecution took place ln Cumberland undor the liquor act, local people always having had the reputation of being strictly law abiding. CUMBERLAND UNITED ENTER FINAL OF THE DAVENPORT SHIELD The Recreation Ground, Cumberland was in excellent condition for the semi-final of the Davenport Shield game staged on Sunday last when the formidable Nanaimo City team came up for the replay—the last game between these teams resulted In a four- all draw after extra time. Last Sunday's game just went the regulation ninety minutes, with Cumberland win. ning the game by a score of two goals to one. Shortly after two o'clock,, referee Thorburn, of Nanaimo, got tho teams away and In the first few minutes Cumberland pressed, being repulsed by Dickenson. Bannerman and Heyland on the right, carried the ball back to Nanaimo territory, when Heyland in attempting to pass, Edmunds kicked the ball against the full back's arm. Thorburn promptly blew his whistle, a second thought however struck him, and he appealed to the linesman on that side of the fleld. A penalty was awarded as the result of the confab, from which Jock Stewart easily scored, exactly eight minutes after the kick-off. The rest of the flrst halt was uninteresting with the local team having a slight edge. The second half opened with a lot more dash from the Nanaimo team, but with the local halves getting better all the time, a score was easily prevented. Conti got Hltchens away oh the left, who slipped the ball tr Plump, the Inside man gave Fowler a lovely pass whose attempt to scon was blocked by a defender, Bannsr- man running In from the right scored a pretty goal well cut uf the reach of Routledge, making thc score two nothing in favor of the home team. A few minutes later Stobbart scored Nanaimo's lone tally from a penalty awarded against Conti. • Blair made a great effort to save throwing hiin- -,«?,?' full length, inst missing the ball by a fraction. The rest of the half was uninteresting with Nanaimo having a slight edge. By their win of Sunday last, the local team meet the Nanaimo Vets In the final. Jock Stewart, by scoring the flrst goal of the game became the possessor of the half-dozen knives and forks donated by Mr. Ray Colclough, of Xanainio. tlie Sporting Goods and Hardware Marchant, who so generously donated the prize for the first goal scored. Game on Nnturdiii The local team travel to Nanaimo on Saturday to meet tlio Ladysmith team In a Brackman Ker semi-final and were also to play an exhibition game with Nanaimo City on the Central Sports Ground on Sunday. Thfs latter match, however, has been cancelled, the teams being unable to secure the fleld. OTTAWA, March 11.—A resolution proposing that "Canada should consider the question of defence of our sea coast and of our ocean-borne lines of commerce" was introduced in the House this afternoon by A. W. Neill, Itffiependent, Comox-Alberni. Mr. Neill introduced the subject by suggesting that the question be taken up in a non-partisan spirit; he suggested that a small committee of the House might be Conned lo consider the matter with the .aid of technical experts, A policy might be evolved of de- lence under the name of the "Canadian Policy." Drydock at Esquimalt Mr. Neill ui't'ed the necessity for defence of coast lines and •hipping. The drydock at Esquimalt, which was to be finished shortly, would be of vital importance to any British naval operations m the Pacific, Today it was practically open to the world, with only a few obsolete guns to protect it. Mr. Neill quoted General McBrien as stating thai the next war would be on the Pacific. The value of public works in Vancouver and Victoria was estimated at $200,000,000, yet a coast line of 10,000 miles was ab- solutely defenceless. .Most important of all was the defence of shipping.

Match To Nanaimo Vets Hopes that the two Cumberland teams would be playing against each other in the B. & K. dual were shattered Inst Saturday when the Nanaimo s'els decisively knocked the Rangers nit nf the competition, tho score being 4 goals to 1. The game, which was played at Xanainio, was very disappointing as far as tiie finer points nf football are concerned, the display nf both teams being of the mediocre variety, but even more disappointing was the size of tlie crowd in attendance. During the lirst halt neither team had any advantage, no goals being scored, but ln the sesond period they came thick and fast. Faulds scored llie first for the Vets, while Campbell soon evened things for the Rangers, bul not for long. Stone, the iN'analmo left-wing, added two more In quick succession and Russel added the fourth a few minutes before full time. Referee MacDonald gave entire satisfaction.

' COURTENAY, March 10.—All members were on hand last night at a special meeting of the city council to consider estimates for the year. Mayor Duncan occupied the chair for ■ the lirst part of the session which he later vacated for the purpose of pre- . siding at an Important meeting of i the directors of the Comox Creamery 'I Association. The council Is unanimous in getting tlie Island Highway ■ hard surfaced and ti further communication is to he made to Mr. P. P, i Harrison, M.L.A., nnd to the Provin- I cial I'ulilic Works Dept. The es timates as tabled last night are as follows: School total $13,171 Public Works 7,680 Police .-. 2,660 Fire lyepartiuent 1,017 No definite decisions were arrived at at last night's meeting. There is every probability that the taxes as a whols will not be raised this year. The school rate will likely he two mills higher which represents 20 per cent, more than last year. Some of the other rates may. be reduced and ll is possible that taxation for 192a may show a slight decrease. City Clerk, Mr. C. S. Wood, says there Is no reason for them to be any higher. ROY CLIFFE STILL SWINGS THE L. A. K. O I couver Island, has noticed that the ' daily temperatures for Courtenay ave not recorded although the rainfall is kept and recorded in the meteorological reports as published by the government. It was on his suggestion that the matter of recording daily temperature was taken up by the Board of Trade. Mr. Eric Duncan is to be approached with a view of getting him to keep these records. Mr. turner felt sure that a record of the temperatures would be of interest in days to come. He had heen very interested to read reports in the local paper and in the Victoria Colonist of Uourtenay's operations during the past year, and he thought that the city council and the city clerk were to he complimented on the splendid llnauclal showing for the past yenr 1924. ■jt; CtoJto;:,y Morgan of Ladysmith. Since then he lias improved in a wonderful manner and was recently spoken of hy Daymon Runyop as one of the most likely looking light-heavyweights on the Pacific coast. Cliffe has won eleven of his fourteen fights by his famous left arm knockout and In his recent workouts with Tony Fuente. the Mexican heavyweight, he made a great impression on the spectators. There seems to be every reason to believe that Vancouver Island ls going to supply the next Canadian heavyweight champion and in the very near future at that. Cliffe. who is nt present in California, made his lirst start in Courtenay two and a half years ago in an amateur tournament held in the Gaiety theatre. At that time he was very raw material and had only just been discovered by Max Blunt, an experienced pugilist, who, in 11117 held the Canadian middleweight championship in France. It is evident that Blunt and his associates were able to give Cliffe the right start which is an Important mat ter to a fighting man. Roy Cliffe has many relations in the Courtenay district all of whom are of unusual stature and very fine specimens ot humanity. PLAN OF PROPOSED RIVER DREDGING IS RECEIVED BY B. of T. COURTENAY, March 11—Tuesday SUGGESTS THAT DAILY TEMPERATURES BE RECORDED COURTENAY, March 11.—An interesting letter has recently been >*e- celved by the city of Courtenay from a man of wide municipal experience. The letter which was read at the last meeting of the Courtenay-Comox Board of Trade is from Mr. Jas. W. Turner, superintendent of the Waterworks Department of the city of Edmonton. Mr. Turner who spent a summer vacation in the district last year, and who is charmed with Van- night's meeting of the Courtenay- Comox Board of Trade was a very Interesting one; and discussions and resolutions of importance took place Tlie most important communication wns a letter from the Federal Public Works Dept., ollice at Victoria. This letter enclosed a plan showing the i channel which It Is proposed to I dredge from the Comox Harbor flats [ to the Courtenay River bridge. This j would be one hundred feet In width and have a depth of five feet below ' low water. It is proposed to straight- j en the channel across a point above the Grain Growers' wharf during the coming season, and if funds are available, to complete the balance of the dredging during the season of 1926. Tills news was received with much gratification by all present. Captain E. Lloyd, who knows every inch of tlle j river, says th5 straightening of the j channel at the point Indicated is of j vital importance. It will obviate the ' two had turns in the river which aro j nearly at right angles and which are j nt times almost impossible to nego- i tiate. The straightening of the Chan- ! nel will also protect the Comox road I and will provide excellent booming ! grounds, making a considerable area ; of slack water available. Letters of thanks nre to bc sent to Mr. A. W. Neill, M.P., at Ottawa for his very valuable work In this connection and to Mr. J. P. Forde the district engineer at Victoria. There was a reply from the Minister of Education to a letter from the Board pointing out some mistakes in the present school atlas. The author has been requested to make the 1 necessary corrections, it was stated.

The chairman informed the meeting. that an effort was being made to get members ot the Vancouver Board of Trade to attend the annual meeting of the Courtenay Board, which will tako place on the 14th April, when It Is hoped that the visitors will address the annual meeting on such subjects as agriculture, lumbering, and transportation. i J. K. McKENZIE IS PARTNER WITH GEO H. PIDCOCK EQUAL DUTY ASKED ON EGGS COMING IN AS ON THOSE GOING OUT COURTENAY, March 12.—The rea- oluion which has been forwarded to Mr. A. W. Neill, M.P., at_Ottawa, asking his assistance In obtaining equal duty on all eggs coming to Canada, to that Imposed on Canadian eggs entering the United States, was the outcome of a very interesting discussion at a recent meeting of the local Board of Trade. Mr. C. Highet, manager of the Royal Standard Feed Company's Courtenay Branch was of the opinion that Chinese eggs which only pay a three cent duty coming Into Canada, should be refused admission altogether. The poultry industry is of immense Importance to British Columbia he said, and Is one of the bejt industries we can foster for this district. The poultrymen at Duncan, whose flocks are larger on an average than those of the Comox Valley, find that if eggs are a good price for four months it will put them on their feet for the rest of the year, as It would carry them over the breeding season and into the period of good priced eggs again. Few people, he thought, realized that the poultry and egg business in the United States exceeded the grain business by the sum of two hundred million dollars. This however was the startling fact he said; the figures being six hundred millions for the one and eight hundred millions for the other. Mr. It. U. Hurford said tt was unfair to allow U.S. eggs to enter under a three cent duty when the U.S. imposed a tariff of eight cents on our eggs going into the States. COURTENAY, March 11.—Mr. J. K. McKenzie has joined Mr. Geo. H. Pidcock in the garage business ss from the twelfth of the month. Mr. McKenzie ls well known in the motor business ln Courtenay having been connected with the firm of Blunt & Ewart Ltd., tor the past few years. Messrs Pidcock and McKenzie will handle the Dodge cars besides general repair work. The McLaughlin car will now be handled by Messrs Blunt & Ewart together with the Chevrolet, another well known product ot the General Motors Ltd. WOULD-BE-ROBBER DISGUSTED AT FIND IN CASH DRAWER 200 ATTEND CANADIAN DAUGHTERS' LEAGUE DANCE IN THEATRE COURTENAY, March 9.—The dance at the Gaiety Theatre on Wednesday evening which was held under the auspices of the Canadian Daughters' League, was a very pleasant affair. About two hundred people were on the floor and thoroughly enjoyed thc splendid dance music. An enjoyable supper was served and dancing continued from nine until two a.m. 20 GALLONS COFFEE CONSUMED BY DANCERS AT HEADQUARTERS COURTENAY, March 9.—The dance at Headquarters on Saturday night brought, out something like a record crowd. It is estimated that three hundred people attended. The dani'- ing was preceeded by a banquet iu honor of a number of students of the Forestry Branch of the Provincial Lands Dept., who had been stationed at Headquarters for about ten days and was tendered to these students on the eve of their departure. Head- quarter's orchestra left nothing to bc doslr.ed in the way of dance music and the catering which was done by Mr. D. M. isenor was to everyone's liking. The coffee must have been good for no less than twenty gallons were consumed by tha thirsty dancers COURTENAY, March 11.—A would- be-robber was badly tooled on Tuesday night when he entered the premises of Mr. H. Bryant's leather goods store close to the post office on Union Street. Entrance was made by a back door which opens into the basement of the building. The thief picked up a large rasp with a sharp pointed end and with this tool he made his way up the steps and through the cellar lisp to. the front store, where he proceeded to pry open the cash register drawer with the pointed handle nf the rasp. On opening the drawer he must have* been disgusted to see only four small brown coins each of a value of one cent. These he left in the drawer. Mr. Bryant has not missed anything from his stock and thinks nothing was taken. The cash drawer was ot no great value and Mr. Bryant Is wearing a smile. GRANTHAM SCHOOL TRY FOR LIBRARY COURTENAY, March 7—A good number attended the Grantham whist drive and dance on Wednesday. On this occasion it required twenty tables to accommodate the card players.

The gentlemen's prizes were awarded as follows: first, Mr. J. Currie, second, Mr. I. Pickering and the booby prize went to Lloyd Swan. The social committee served refreshments which were much appreciated. Dancing to music supplied by Miss McQuillan and Alvin Parkin was enjoyed till midnight. At a recent meeting of the Grantham Parent-Teachers Association a sum of $20 was voted for the comence ment of a permanent library. $10 ot this amount Is to be set aside for the purchase of reference books.

Similar conditions are said to exist on neighboring islands. Thousands of birds, it is estimated by island residents, bave perished In the past few days because of the oil on the gulf.

The animals, which are valued at $600, came from the National Purk at Banff, Alberta. Alberta farmers have recently been shipping a new commodity to the market. During the past few years there has been a considerable increase in the number of bee-keepers and last year 160 keepers had a total production of nearly 60,000 pounds of honey, valued at approximately $15,000. The exact number of bees is not known. Contract for aeroplane spruce has been made between Vickers Limited, manufacturers of aeroplanes, and Frank L. Buckley, of Vancouver, B.C The spruce will be logged on the Queen Charlotte Islands and milled at the Buckley Mill at Port Clement, on Graham Island and at Burrard mill, in Vancouver. The contract calls for the delivery of two million feet during 1925. Canada lends the world in automobile exports in proportion to production, domestic sales or ownership of motor vehicles or to population. Not relatively but absolutely the automobile exports of the Dominion are only exceeded by those of the United States. Since 1920 the motor vehicle exports of Canada have nearly doubled, the increase being from 9.8 per cent, to 17 per cent, of the automobile export trade of the world. A special train of forty-two care, containing nearly 900 head of stock for export to Great Britain, arrived at the Canadian Pacific Railway's East End stock yards, Montreal, recently. Theso, added to shipments from Packingham, Ont., Toronto and other points in Ontario and Quebec, made up what cattlemen claimed to be the greatest concentration of Canadian cattle for export in the history of the trade. From the yards the cattle were shipped by special train to the ship's side at St. John, N.B. When the round-the-world cruise passengers aboard the Canadian Pacific steamship "Empress of France," reached Egypt recently, they were entertained by Enani Khattab, a prominent sheik holding authority over a large number of villages along the Nile. Unfortunately, the Cshoik succumbed to a sudden attack of heart failure. The visitors from across the Atlantic before returning to their ship were permitted to attend the funeral, which was conducted in the desert with weird and 'mpressive religious rites, an experience few world-travellers have known.

Deer drinkers say that they expect belter beer by the glass than they are now getting by the bottle. Some of them are conscientious in this expectation, and are doing all In their power to help breweries. A few days ago two boys were seen catching frogs in a pool near town. When asked why they were doing it they replied that their fathers had said that the makers of beer had had no hops for three or four years and after they caught tho frogs they could sell them to the brew erles where the hops could be taken out of them for the manufacture of good old brown beer. Hops have always been used in the manufacture of beer but this new source of supply will probably be gladly accepted as it will give a perpetual supply at I low cost. Then perhaps beer will be cheaper. The Gem Barber Shop Opposite Ilo-Ilo Theatre CUMBERLAND, B.C.

A night's box-office receipts at the Metropollatn counldn't i rival this, nor could the Paris Opera I itself, the largest opera house ln thej world. But In this case the audience didn't pay to see the opera. On the contrary, they were paid to see lt. The $50,000 represents what lt cose to have the audience there. It ls also probably the flrst time In history that three thousand people were paid from ten to twenty dollars apiece for looking at an opera. The audience was used for the "Faust" performance, which is one of the important scenes In Universale "Phantom of the Opera." In addition to the $50,000 which was spent for the audience alone, there was of course an enormous expense Involved In the one hundred piece orchestra, the ballet of two hundred and fifty, the chorus ot eighty and the opera stars and principals. Lon Chaney has his most unusual role in the "Phantom," it is said, and Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry are the young lovers whose happiness Is menaced by his grim figure.

PAGE SEVEN Extraordinary Construction Feat at Famous Mountain Resort r_>.i / i i saca i ri i-L II iii rchiteots and builders all over America are much interested in the progress of the re-building of the Canadian Pacific hotel at Lake Louise, ' Alberta. The site of this building is over a mile above sea level, and the thermometer frequently takes a sensational drop, there beinf winter days when 66 below zero is on record. It was imperative that the new wing, which is being built to replace that burned down last summer, should be finished and open for the coming season, and that work on it should, therefore, not be interrupted by winter weather. Several architects and contractors from United States cities, who have visited the site, expressed doubts as lo whether the job could be done during the cold weather, particularly in view of the fact that so much of the work consisted in pouring cement. This had to be safeguarded from freezing, and it was finally decided to build a huge wooden, tar-paper lined, shell around the entire space to be occupied by the ,new wing of the hotel. On the inside of thia shell were hung thousands of feet of temporary steam coils, kept hot by 380 horse-power steam boilers, the effect of which was to provide a safe, summer-like atmosphere for the carrying on of the work. i The erection of so important a building in a position so comparatively difficult of access, as is the Lake Louise Chateau, is a matter call ing tor unusual engineering skill, the task of getting the materials to the site being by no means an easy one. With a night and day service, ia spite of ice and snow, over 26,000 tons of material and coal are being delivered by the winding narrow-gauge tramway on a four per cent grade for a distance of 3Vi miles from Lake Louise depot to the Chateau. Canadian Pacific forces are supervising the work, supplying steam and electricity and delivering material to tht lit*. This extension will enable the Chateau to accommodate seven hundred guests in a fireproof building, with every modern convenience, and one of its features will be the magnificent view of the lake and the group of mountains surrounding it from the ball room, rotunda, lounge and dining room through enormous plate glass windows which feature the whole length of the building. The extension was designed by Hessrs. Barott and Blackader, of Montreal, who have done other important work in connection with Canadian Pacific hotels and the contract wti undertaken by Messrs. Carter-Halls and Aldinger, of Winnipeg. A. W. NEILL STRESSES NEED OF DEFENCES FOR CANADA'S PACIFIC COAST (Continued From Page Oue) ject of. any enemy would be a blockade and destruction of shipping. Disabilities of League Mr. Neill stated that we were told that there was no need to talk about war. Mr. Neill averred that he could talk on the disabilities of the League of Nations for some time. The League was a source of enormous weakness and Great. Britain would never have gone into it had it felt that the United States would not enter lt. ''We were told that we should remain defenceless. Who was so expressed in his utterances for peace but the German kaiser? Many of the men lay ln France today because we had to rush them there unprepared for war. We paid because we had listened credulously to the assurances of the German emperor." Advantages Through Disarmament There was also talk about disarmament. Supposing disarmament was accomplished, it meant a great advantage ln one respect only, and that was of an economic nature. "Disarmament does not stop war," stated Mr. Neill. To a certain extent It encouraged strong nations to attack the weaker ones. Wars took place long before armament, when men fought with scythes and the like. We should admit the need of sonic defence. War might occur any duy In the Pacific. , Mr, Neill was still speaking when Ihe House adjourned at 6 o'clock.

Tony, when the Ilo-Ilo Theatre begins a two-day run ot thc William Fox production, "Oh, You Tony," on Wednesday and Thursday, March 18 and 19. Tony does a few stunts of his own and Tom Mix essays whal is for him a brand new role, that of a student, and later an instructor of etiquette, Since long spurs and Washington society don't mix, Tom hail to discard the "liorse persuaders" and try a boiled shirt. He decided to make his cowboy friends suffer with bim and they furnish a most laughable spectacle in swallow tails and "two-quarts" sombreros. Claire Adams has the part of the leading lady and Dblores Rousse shines equally bright as a fair adventuress. Dolores, as a lady of affairs in Washington, carries her part with all the savoir faire that ladies In the diplomatic circles 'exude like roses do tlieir perfume. It will be recalled that Miss Rousse joined the Fox organization after appearing in Zfegfeld's Follies for two years. Despite the fact that Tom Mix gives many excruciating funny examples of "what's wrong with this picture." there isn't a thing wrong with tho film production of "Oh. You Tony!" Tom's liorse gives performances that will Interest all lovers of horses. While we are are on the topic of lovers, there Is a romantic element winding Its way through the tale that will hold all sweethearts in suspense, until tlie way of the true love is made smooth. The masculine heart will find it rather difficult not to be fascinated by the charms of Dolores Rousse, who Is the vlllainess on the screen.

Dear Sir;— There are times when the perpetrations of juveniles In Cumberland become so wanton that one wonders whether there is ever any attempt made by anybody to try to control them. The mutilation of trees, grass etc., the crimes committed in and around the football field; the Invariable smashing up of an untenanted house; these acts have come to be almost accepted as occurences over which we have no control, like rain and sunshine. But the latest vandalism, that ot destroying the "War Memorial Arch, is underway, and I am wondering whether this will be treated with the same indifference. Children swinging on the chain fence have fractured the base of two of the concrete posts, and if it was not for iron dowels which I instructed to have placed there as a reinforcement when it was built, the posts would have fallen long since. Children climbing to the top of the monument and leaving wooden staves up there have started to chip the moulding immediately above the arch. Otlier features have developed which 'proclaim the beginning of disfigurements whicli will ruin it. Ordinarily concrete construction is permanent and will stand for centuries unless wilfully attacked. At present as a Memorial Monument its days are numbered, but as a plaything for children it Is an unqualified success. Yours truly, W. A. Owen. .Expresses Thanks The matron of the Cumberland General Hospital wishes to thank the Cumberland Welsh Society for their kind donation °f flowers which was much appreciated. H. E.
