Enderby, general manager of the Canada Steamship Lines, limited, whjo in an interview todiy claimed that its inaction and failure to provide adequate equipment for helping to extricate ships locked In ice at the Sault and to aid others in reaching -Georgian B*y ports or In passing through the St. Lawrence canals was disadvantageous^ affecting the clearance of Canadian grain for other lands. "No assistance has heen received by Canadian steamship owners Whose ships hare been held up at the Sault, with the exception of that provided through the Lake Carriers' association of Cleveland, working ln conjunction with the Dominion Marine association. These organizations had to obtain tugs to aid in breaking a passage in the ice for the lake boats to move both up and down. Ihe hire of the car ferry was |1500 a day, while the owners had to guarantee any loss that might accrue to it before it would be placed 10 operation. "TWa ls the busiest shipping period of the season," Mr. Enderby pointed out, "and the winter Atlantic ports of Saint John and Halifax depend on the transportation of Canada's crop from the head of the lakes to either the Georgian Bay ports or Lake Erie ports to enable them to operate their elevators and attract )\ large volume of tramp and liner tonnage to their respective ports." Forty boats, all loaded with grain, were due in Georgiiin Bay ports, Mr. Enderby declared. These steamers should unload their 10,000,000 bushels of wheat, but the delivery of this was highly Jeopardised by the presenca of the ice field. Appeals had been made by steamship companies to the government for assistance, Mr. Enderby said, but these had met with no response.

It la regarded as an undoubted triumph for Italian diplomacy and for that reason excitea apprehension and suspicion, not only in Jugo-Slavla but also in France and other houn- triea, for by giving Italy a virtual protectorate over Albania lt isolates Jugo-Slavla and permits Italy to aa- sume complete control In the Adriatic. Although the pact is said to be of a reciprocal nature, guaranteeing inde- Dendence and territorial Integrity for Albania, its main purpose from the Italian viewpoint is security in the Adriatic and the encirclement of Tugo-Slavta by precluding from negotiations of security pacts with either Jugo-SJavia. or Greece.

'JUDY'S MAN' Washington's Social Whirl and Official Life Are tiie Background Df Thia Fascinating Love Story - By HELEN BERGER Copyright. 1928, by the Penn Publishing Co. For an hour she labored secretly and wltti a fast-beating hjeart. Suddenly she flung down brush and small figure. "Oh, I can't do it!" she cried. "I'd ne#d to study and practice a lot before I oould do anything worthwhile!" She brushed aside the dream roughly. She'd have to stick to her toy-making till Honey and Dabs made good! That was all there was to It! Well, that might not be so long now! Honey's chance might lift them all to success! Her mind shrank away from the thought of Dabs, When Honey came to call her to luncheon she called out. "Can't come right now! Put a little on a plate in the oven for me. I'll get It later!" At the -moment she was wrapped In a dream of making toys that Jack Darien might* see. Perhaps he would go to some friend's house, where there were children. And perhaps those children would have some of her toya. And he would see them. And he would chuckle! Never had she taken mofe care over the making of the ugly little animals than she waa taking today! Suddenly she laid down her. brush, stared off Into space. Oh, if she could ony hear him chuckle again over one of these funny little creatures she was making! She would be willing to give up a lot to hear him chuckle, Just to see his tired eyes crinkle with laughter over her handiwork! At 2 o'clock she went and got her luncheon from the oven and ate It hastily. In the,* background sha oould see Honey and Dabs lurking, furtively watching her. Their eager glances went from her to the small clonk ticking, away toward the moment of her appointment. Poor souis! She dressed herself with espeola! care. Garner Fields would be sure to be a stickler for harmonious clothes and first Impressions counted a lot Outside her door she could hear Honey and Dabs, voices lowered. They were waiting for her, unable to settle to anything. It must be torture to care as much as that about success, Judy thought to herself. And how they muat have suffered all these years under the sting of' failure! Poor, gay, galtttnt creaturei! , Whw »ba opened n§r doyj jbey burst in upon her. They were nervous. Their hands trembled, their voices had queer little breaks and lifts in them. Such children! "Wear some of the'roses you got this morning. Jude!" Honey begged, "Tou forgot all about them and I put them in water for you. Wear some of them. They look so sort of courageous! Wear them to please me!" "Of course, I will, dearest!" Judy promised-and pinned on a couple of Ahe heavy sweet roses. Then when everything was quite to their satisfaction and Judy was almost ready to start they began worrying about the contents of the package of sketches. "Do you think I've picked out the very best ones?" Honey asked Dabs uneasily. "It would be terrible to lose this chance because of poor judgment.' And you know, I have such poor judgment about my own work!" "I'm sure, my dear! The ones in the package are the gems of the lot!" But Dabs' voice was as unsettled as Honey's. Back and forth they argued until Judy in desperation was forcd to remind them, "I'll have to go in just a minute! Make up your minds!" And then they 'let her go. Honey followed her to the door of the apartment. Her small face, Jn the dusky hallway, was very small and appealing. It was like the face of a child. "Pray for me, Jude!" she whispered. And she clutched Judy's hand tightly. Her own hand was cold. "I oouldn't bear lt If he didn't like them!" She half-turned away and then came back. "And lt would kill Dabs!" she said tragically. "I know, Honey! Oon't worry! He can't help but like them! I feel sure of success!" "Think of the luckiest thing you knoW," Honey implored her as the door closed. The luckiest thing she knew ? What was it? The fairy-prince! He had laughed at her animals! Tljey* had made him happy! Of course she would sucqged with Honey's pictures! Success went4 with her, In her winged feet, her winged heart! The fairy-prince! iTo Ss CGBtiauaa-! TRAIL, Dec. 7.—K.

A month for a Lump of Cod A month ln jail fur the theft of a valuable lump of coal Is the sentence from Winnipeg reported In yesterday's issue. Whether the sentence was eminently Just, or exceedingly excessive, surely depends on the circumstances. If the purlolner was carrying on. a commercial business of stealing coal, and thereby getting the necessary funds (or riotous living, then certainly the law should make an example of him. But suppose he had no coal, and no money, and waa turned down for work, and his family, ln a cheap shack, was without the means of warmth In a Manitoba winter—then the majesty of the law should be satisfied with a less rigorous sentence. Many years ago a Winnipeg magistrate sentenced two little girls, one Of them six years of age, to a short jail term for stealing lumps of coiil ftom the C. P. R. Their parents sent them out periodically for the foray on the coal pile. The magistrate did not have the parents ln his power, but had the little tots, and held them responsible. That magistrate was shortly after relieved of his .position, English papers a few years uyo recorded a very ordinary police court incident from London, where a poor Woman was behind a couple of shillings in her rent, which was sixpence a week. The magistrate ordered her to pay up the afrears at the rate of a penny a week-^lf she could. We sometimes think It Is only in the old world that there can be such penury, and such court incidents. But all lands may have unfortunates. Occasionally something happens to make us duly humble.

The Perhaps nothing so simple givgs children more pleasure during the holidays than candy making. And in wintertime, when the body can take care of extra fuel found in sugar, pure candies should not be feared as being upsetting. Try some of the following: Turkish Delight—Soak five tablespoons of granulated gelatine in one- half cup of cold water for about 10 minutes. Mix together one-third cup of orange juice, three tablespoons of lemon juice and one teaspoon of grated orange rind. Now put over the fire two cups of granulated sugar mixed with one-half cup of boiling water; when again boiling add the softened gelatine and let continue to boil for 20 minutes. Remove from fire, add the fruit juices and rind, and strain the mix ture Into a shallow pan which has first been wet with cold water and not dried. The candy should be about one Inch thick. Set aside in a cold place to stiffen. Then turn out onto a board dredged with powdered sugar, cut in cubes and roll In more powdered sugar. Candled Orange Peel—Cover the peel from four large oranges with cold water, bring to the boiling point, and let cook till tender. Then drain, saving out one-half cup of the boiling liquid to use ln making the syrup, Remove the inside layer of white membrane from the peel and cut the yellow part of the rind in strips with scissors. Make a syrup by boiling one cup of granulated sugar with one-half cup of hot liquid till it will "spin a thread" (220 degrees Fahrenheit If you use a candy-icing thermometer). , Add the strips of peel to this syrup and cook slowly till the syrup has almost cooked away. Now drain and foil the peel ln granulated sugar. Place on wax or parafflne paper till well dried. If the peel Is to be used as an Ingredient In cakes, puddings or. candies, dry without rolling In the BUgar and store in jars with a tipped cover (not airtight). Lemon Creams—Mix and boil together two cups of sugar, one-fourth cup of cold water and one-fourth cup of lemon juice. When it forms a soft ball ln cold water, take from range, set in cold water, and beat till lt looks cloudy, then drop from tip of a spoon on wax paper. Tomorrow—Making Our- Christmas Gifts.

That Body of Yours By JAMB* W. BASTOV, K.9. Does Not Recognize Authority of the Pope Testing the Work of Ac Liver Why does every medical convention the past two or three years spend so many hours discussing, and listening to papers on thy way the liver ls doing, or is not doing, its work? A few year* ago all that the liver meant to a physician was that in health lt made bile to help digest fats, and stored up sugar to be used when the sugar supply ol the blood was running low. Calomel and salts was the usual treatm. n't for any liver disturbance- However the tremendous number of cases of gall b'.ader colic, gall stones, Jaundice und so forth, and also the action of the liver In removing poisons from the blood and other useful acts, Is drawing mors attention to this, the largest organ in the body. And now tho actual ability of tho liver to do Its work in being Investigated. This Is not as simple as Investigating the kidneys, because here the urine tells the st-ory whether or not the kidneys are filtering out poisons properly, and also not letting godd useful material come away from the body, that should be retained. An Italian physician fuund In tests on threi healthy person*, and three With congestion of lhe liver, that the amount of ammonia in the blood was twice as much in those of the congested liver. And where the congestion was -severe, and had laate-ct so long that the liver cells were being replaced by fibrous tissue—hardening of the liver—that the blood contained four times as much ammonia as ln those with a normal liver. He gave the same quantity of ammonia citrate to these three groups, that Is normal cases, those with an ordinary congested liver, and also those with a hardened liver. Within a half hour, the normal cases showed one part of ammonia In the blood, the congested casea two parts, and the hardened cases four parts. What does this mean? That the liver should have taken this ammonia out of the blood and just didn't do H, because its ability to do its work was lessened by the congestion and the hardening. You will a^mit that this Is a simple and practical method of finding out whether or not the liver ls doing its work properly, And ymir health depends a great deal on your liver.

JOHN BURNS & SON SEE NEW UNION* L In their jealousy for absolute decorum ln relations to the titular head of the state, the Japanese exceed all other peoples. It used to be the fashion for dignitaries to follow their emperor in death, and the death of the head of the state was the signal for a widespread committing of hara-kiri. This awful custom is now happily obsolete, and when the late emperor died, only Admiral Togo, hero of the Russo- Japunese war, took his life ln observance of the old procedure. Then, a couple of years ago, there Was the case of an abortive attack made on the prince regent, by a madman. Though no one could possibly have foreseen that such an attack would occur, or was a likely event, the minister at the head of tbe Japanese police system at once resigned, as the appropriate thing to do. A week or so ago a Tokyo priest, mourning over a political scandal In Korea, started toward the prince regent's cur with the object of handing him a jietitlon calling his attention to the state of affairs, with his dagger and death -robo ready for subsequent hara-kiri to atone for the affront offered. Ha was selxed before he touched the car, but the scrupulous chief of police of Tokyo offered his resigns {loo, and made profound apologies to the royal household for what had happened. Happily nothing has been done to the priest.

SPORTITIS By JINKS The Vancouver Towers, western amateur hockey champions, were hardly a match for the ^orts on Monday night. Apparently the eastern team had things pretty much their own way. It was not the same Port Arthur team that won the Allan cup last winter. The new professional sport has made Its Inroads upon the amateur champs as with other teams. Their greatest loes wajs Chabot, their star goalie. Coming from a country where hock-fy p'ayers are "born not made'' the amateur champs should carry a .formidable lineup. Nelaon has had Its first sleighing accident. Supervised play Is a good thing and lt would pay the city to employ a supervisor all the year round. With supervised play, sleighriders would be kept to one hill on:y ln the city, and ample protection could be assured both the children and motorists. A summer sporta supervisor could easily be kept busy in the winter if outside rinks and sleighridlng hills are set aside. Further plans for a city commercial hockey league are being worked out and it is anticipated that when there is Ice ready that six or seven teams will be starting a regular schedule of games.• Here's a real birdie for local go-fere to make ad soon as the links are free of snow.

On the other hand If the officiate must wait for snow, who knowa when they will get started ? In any case lt is a bet, but a little action might please a lot of people including the hockey players. Boxing and wrestling will occupy the attention of fans, who like the manly art thla week. All eyes are on the Cottrell-Hllt go In Trail on Wednesday.

Both teams scored twice ln the second period and Kllrea won the game ln the closing session, shooting from center Ice in 7:15.

Suspicions Before Bout Confirmed by Physicians, Stated Late Champion NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The New •York American tonight added another chapter to the| story of "poison iplots" woven about the figure of Jack Dempsey, who lost his heavyweight boxing title to Gen* Tunney at Philadelphia. Qempeey told Its representative In Los Angeles, the American says, that he believed he was poisoned before the contest and that his suspicions were confirmed by a physician who examined him the day after he lost his championship. The doctor was not named. "I don't know what happened nor how it happened," the paper quotes Dempsey as saying. "I do know that I was ln such an alarming condition that I called a doctor the day after the fight. I was afraid there must be some organic disorder."

BY AL DEMAREE (Former Pitcher New York Giants) One might say that Jake Schaefer, Sr., was the Inventor indirectly of the 18.2 balk line billiards now followed by the great players like Hagenlacher, Young Jake Schaefer, Hoppe, Cochran Horemans and others. M. Benslnger really started in 1883 with eight Inch balls lines to handicap Schaefer who was'so great at the old straight rail game that he was practically immune to challenge. Later the lines were changed from eight to 14 Inches and then 18.2, the present day style of play. The original Schaefer once played Frank Ives a 8000 point game ln Paris before the days of the balk lines. One thousand points were to be played each night for three nights. Schaefer won the bank and ran 1000 points. The next night he resumed where he left off and ran another thousand. The third night Ives sat in the gallery and v.-atclnMl him check off the final thousand. JYank never had a chance to use his cue. History repeated Itself some 40 years later In 1926. Young Jake Schaefer, the "Wizard's" son, beat Erich Hagenlacher, the present champ, 400 to 0 ln Chicago with an unfinished tan of 400 from the break In one Inning. Pending her suit for separation, th- wife of "Bud" Fisher, cartoonist, wa.s awarded |260 a week temporary alimony. inchester A Mild, Blended Cigarette 20/425* Every package of Wlncnettef Cigaret tes contains s poker hand insert card.

Seattle Twenty-two Vessels May Be ' Caught by Ice Between Montreal and Quebec ONLY ICE BREAKERS MAKING ANY MOVEMENT Success Believed in Breakup at 'Bottle Neck' Holding Boats on Lakes MONTREAL, Dec. 7.—Twenty-two vessels are in-danger of being caught in the St. Lawrence for the winter besides coastal craft. Navigation was at a standstill 'between Montreal and Quebec today, except for the movement of Ice breaker*, and ice was reported packed SOO miles below Quebec. Shipping men say they have not seen such conditions come so early or so suddenly in 20 years. Five steamers are at Montreal and one la trying to get here from the Lakes, two are at Three Rivers, five at Sorel, some 10 in Quebec and another, the Vulnegram, damaged by running ashore and leaking, is trying to get back to the fitter port. The steamers at Quebec will probably try to get out tomorrow under onvoy of lco breakers, but the prospects of the steamers further up the river are not regarded as so bright. The weather has turned milder, but it is believed a week of higher temperature is needed to alleviate the situation.

MARIE, Mich., Dec. 7.—-Favored by milder weather, efforts to break up the great blockade hat for a week has held more than 100 lake freighters upbound with coal and down-bound with grain, 'Ight ln the "bottle-neck" of the Great Lakes, gave promise of- Sue- ess today. The upbound fleet of coal carriers began moving slowly before noon today after a tug.had opened a lane for their passage through Middle Neblish channel. Their progress was very slow, the ice in middle Neblish dyke disputing every foot of the way toward Lake Superior and open water. Thirty-seven of the up- bound fleet had fought their way through the dyke tonight. Ten others got out late yesterday. Work on Carrier" With the upbound fleet in motion the effort to free the downbound .grai^i carriers waa redoubled; the big steel battering ram, Salnt.Marle, working with several tugs hammered away In the downbound channel and succeeded ln snaking the steamer Coulee out of West Neblish cut Then she repeated the attack on the ice imprisoning tho General Garret- son, These two vessels lay across the cut at an angle of 30 degrees and held back the remaining vessels. Should the effort to get the grain carriers through the usual down- bound ohannel fail an alternative was to have the fleet return to Sault Ste. Marie and pass down through the channel used by the upbound craft.

T. organisation between the ages of 12 and 18. Classes for the convent girls are held ln the K.P. hall on Friday afternoons, while the C.G.I.T. girls receive their instructions Friday nights. The work done includes calisthenics, musical maze marching, and running, Indian club exercises, and dumbell drills. Group games are also featured at these classes. Mrs. Wright is endeavoring to secure the use of the gymnasium ln the Canadian Legion quarters. If this effort succeeds, the girls will be given more scope for their athletic endeavors, by the use of the mats, horizontal and parallel bars, and the horse. In such case basketball would be also included in the class activities. Important to Develop Physique Physical culture and training, in Mrs. Wright's opinion, are one of- the most important things to be considered In the development of the children of today. "Trfcy not only build up the body, but also make the mind *»ore alert," declares Mrs. Wright. "Often physical deformities are corrected In this manner," said Mrs. Wright. Physical training classes for girls have been held In the city for the past five years. Until 1924 a ladles' senior class was Included, but since that time the training has been de- Voted exclusively to girls between the ages of 9 and 15 years. These classes have been held under the personal direction of .Mrs. Wright for the past two years. COASTING GIRLS E AUTO IN Three Kiddies Miraculously Es- cape Hurt; Touch Gilker Car SIX BOYS ON BOB MEET ANOTHER CAR Driver Just Succeeds in Stopping as They Tumble Off in Path Seconds made the difference between a miracutous escape, and serious Injuries If not certain death, to three small girls, who coasted down Stanley street last evening at 8 o'clock, their sleigh shooting on to Baker Btreet, just as A. B. Gilker, who was driving west, was about to turn his car up Stanley. Mr. Gllker, on seeing the sleigh. Instantly turned the car away, and the girl, who was steering, turned the sleigh eastward, with the result that it grazed the car's rear wheel, and the three children were thrown off. A difference of five seconds in the timing, and the sleigh would have taken them under the car. Though badly frightened, the children were practically uninjured. One picked herself up and ran away, and Mr. Ollker loaded the other two ln the car and took them to Dr. J. H. Bennett, who found scratches on their legs to be the extent of their injuries. Bob and Six Boys Meet Car Another occurrence of nhe same nature, at the same corner, was reported an hour or two later, a bobsleigh carrying six boys being met by a car turning up Stanley. "The driver gave everything he had and brought the car to a dead stop, the momentum raising his rear wheels off the street, while the boys threw themselves off the sled, which was within inches of the car," stated an eyewitness, graphically. "But for the driver's rtmarkable feat ln stopping his car, he would have driven right upon the boys." Coasting on Stanley street, or any other street, is, of course, prohibited, but with the slight coating of snow that fell yesterday, which last night made the streets icy, many youngsters got out their slecs on the hill streets. WALKS WITH ICE Kiddies Coast Precariously; Snow Melts, Then Hardens REV. MR. DREDGE TALKS SUCCESS' Tells Trinity Young People Failures Stepping Stones This Christmas Give Pictures J. H. ALLEN Amateur Finishing Picture Framing B. C. PLUMBING & HEATING CO. Agents for ALBERTA CLAY PRODUCTS •EWER PIPE * DRAIN TILE SM Baker St. Nelson, B. C. Winter apparently arrived at laat yesterday. Roads and sidewalks ln upper Nelson became treacherous with ice on which lt was impossible to walk with safety. Even those who used the roads found difficulty In keeping their feet. Though downtown It was soft during the day, the walks were icy as soon as evening fell. The Inch of snow which fell yesterday morning melted very little, the maximum temperature being 33, a single deRroe above freezing. For the same period the minimum temperature was 25, seven degrees below freezing point. These conditions furnished some precarious coasting, which kiddies were quick to take advantage of. 'Success" was the title of an address given by Rev, P. R. G. Dredge at a meeting of the Trinity Young People's association in the Trinity United church last night. He stated the school of experience mas the greatest aid to success. Mr. Dredge quoted Edison who said he was not sorry for failures, He had many failures himself before he attained success. According to Mr, Dredge some failures were needless. Some were needful, but they all aided toward success. It was not that one rtiade mistakes but \that It was foolish to make the same mistake twice. Other items on the program were a recitation by Gladys -tiatl, a piano solo by Robert Saare, a recitation by Kathleen Bowman and a solo by Vivian Kennedy.

VICTORIA, Dec. 7.—The disposal of slash after the original cutting of timber and the relation which It had to reforestation was before the convention of the western forestry and conservation association this afternoon. , J, II. Walker of Oregon, a practlc-^1 logger, holds the opinion lhat the proper method of dialing with cut- ovsr land was to burn it off attar and then transplant the seedlings that were required for reforestation. F. A. Elliott. Btate forester of Oregon, in introducing the subject to the meeting, advocated the greatest care being taken of tbe virgin forest. There could never again be such stands of timber as those provided by nature, which had taken centuries in the work. The burning of the slash should be done completely. Convictions Many California is a had place for a man to be found responsible for starting a forest fire, according to figures submitted at the convention. Out of 734 forest fire convictions in the western area, including California, Oregon. Washington, Idiho, Montana and British Columbia. California was responsible for 363. British Columbia made only 43 convictions. During this season there were 2147 forest fires in British Columbia and a total of 8767 In the five states. British Columbia forestry and Ita problems were reviewed by P. Z. Caverhill, chief forester. CLASSIFIED ADS BRING RESULTS. CLASSIFIED 8ULT8.
