And presently a glass that asoeUed Uke Scotch was placed In front of Laurel. Shs drank half of It. Didn't like the taste. Somehow lt made her feel dlizler . . .

With Ms check for $900 thrust In tbe top of her long stocking, ahe was ready for anything.

Tbe boundaries tt tbe area la which stock is now forbidden to ma ai large embmess, tlie territory served by the Seat Oaeton migatton district whiefc eame into being last year.

She who ls a disciple of the god- dees Hygela Is the gal who Is going to give Popper Time tbe laugh, han* onto the glow and bloom of youth, discount tbe birthday* and keep dancing along with tbs beauty pageant throughout the yeara. Without vitality and health, there ls no real beauty. Oood complexions and sparkling eyes are dependent upon goo_ digestion and circulation. Unless attention ls paid to diet, unless there ls sufficient sleep so that body repairs can be made, outward evidences thtt make for til-appearance are bound to take form. So eat your spinach and |o to bed early. Hand-aod-arm massage ls one beauty treatment that can be had at home. Begin with a soapy scrubbing, rinse and dry. Oo over the skin surface with a heavy massage cream. Pat In almond meal; oatmeal Is a good substitute lf almond meal isn't In the cosmetic kit. Atop the cream and meal place Turkish towels which have been wrung out of hot water. Uae half a doaen of them. Bathe again, pat in talcum. Wunnerfuli Afflicted with an oily skin? Try the ea* de cologne treatment. After the facial tubbing, dtp a bit of gauze in eau de cologne; go over tbe skin surface lightly. use creams sparingly. All right lf they serve as cleansers, bu- don't leave tihem on over night. Cut down on fat fooda which excite the sebaceous ducts, make them gush forth thetr lubricating substances to film over the skin with shine and shimmer. For the sake of the fingernails, rubber gloves should be worn by the housewife when sbe digs out dusty shelves or gives the gas range an overhauling. Fingernails are of delicate substance, and dirt ground into the cuticle Is not'easily dislodged. A quick cleaning of nail eaves ls achieved by plunging finger tip* into a cut lemon. If the hair is oily and there's no time for a shampoo, tak* ths trsss- locks, strand by strand, and wipe, with a soft cloth which has been dipped In rubbing aloohol, diluted one half with water. By their necks ye shall know ttie num\er of their birthdays. Necks don't have the attention they should The best they can expect ls tbe leftover scraps of cosmetics on whieh the complexion feasts It least once a day. That'a not enough. Neglected and uncared for, necks take on fiddle strings, lump up at tbe back, or assume necklace rings that are no help at all. They _!»uld be anointed with cream, bleached when they take on dlscolorattons, be patted, peted, treated kindly. One way to keep a neck youthful Is to carrry the bead splendidly, always erect By that means muscles are on the lob, kept tight and solid, permitting no fat cells to gather.

CHRISTMAS CHEER DISTRIBUTION BY INVISIBLE PLAN Instead of Hampers by Spe- iai Delivery, Stores Deliver Orders TWO HUNDRED STORES ON LIST FOR TODAY Others May Still Be Addvd if Cases Brought to Notice Invisibility i_ ti:e chief feature of the distribution of Chrlatmaa che_r ln Nelson and district tbls year, from the Community Welfare fund. and today 200 Chrlatmaa orders will be delivered, through ordinary merchandising channels, to that number of families or Individuals believed to be suitable 4/plente. In past years quite an organization has been required, to make up the hampers, and distribute them, from the armory aa a headquarters, but a few weeks ago Ctty Clerk W. E. Wasson, wbo is secretary of tfce Community Welfare organization, was struck by the possibility of carrying out the work Invisibly, so far as the public was concerned, and having the distribution of Chrlatmaa cheer carried out without city trucks being aeen or other poaalble Identifying circumstances, and resolved to give the invisible system a trial. ORDERS ZONED As a consequence, the organization work was done In Mr. waason's office, and thoae to be beneficiaries were divided Into zonea. And orders for tbe required goods were placed through the merchant*. In the case of beneficiaries in the district at large, a modification of this plan has bean followed, merchants ln the localities affected doing the work. Altogether the orders placed embrace 47 No. l'a—the size for the smallest farollles--77 No. 2*e, W No. 3's, and 10 No. 4a A laet-mlnute order made the total number 200. Ten of the families listed were only brought to the attention of the organization Wednesday. It Is extremely probable that there will be further additions to the list today, even though thla Is delivery dsy. for tbere are uaually som* suitable beneficiaries whom nobody haa brought to attention until tbe last minute.

(8656) SOFT SNOW CAUSES CARS TO COLLIDE Soft snow which caused the cars driven by w. A. Price and Vivian Alongols to skid on the Uttle hill near the tourist park Wednesday morning was directly responsible for t_em colliding. The Alongols car was proceeding toward the ferry, and the Price car was headed ln the oppo- elte direction. Both cans austalned damage estimated at about $50 and were unable to proceed farther. Tuesday night was children's night at the K. P. ball wben the membera of the looal chapter ot the Order of the Eaatern Star gave a party for the Uttle ones, and those not so little. After the eager crowd had gathered, the party opened with a game which was energetically entered Into by the company. Don- neldo Cunllffe followed with the Highland Fling, danced in costume and Enid Latornell obliged with a pianoforte solo. Kathleen Argyle, a tiny mite in a pretty flower costume, then stepped forward and flitted around like a fairy to the complete entertainment of everybody. Following this the company indulged in that old favorite "The Grand Old Duke of York" and during -his game It can be truthfully said that "a good time waa had by all." A recitation by Dorothy Wheeler and a aong by Dorothy Hall were well applauded and the first part of the program was completed with s Scottish dance by SteUa and Bunty paterson. SANTA OLAUI APPEARS While the tables were being set, various games were Indulged ln snd, at a signal, everybody took seats to enjoy the good thlnga spread before them. Suddenly Santa Claus entered wtth a huge basket and passed out candles, nuts, fruit, etc., to the, eager youngaters. The smaller chUdren agreed that Santa was very much like the pictures they had seen of □ lm, but the older ones were Inclined to be critical. During this period A. S. Homersham could not be located, al though he had been seen previously. As the company broke up later. lt was agreed that the party had been a complete success. Those re- spohslble tot the arduous work necessary to its success were Mrs. H. Wallace, Mrs. R. Wallace and Miss Annie Smith as refreshment committee, assisted by Mrs. James Armstrong and Mrs. S. C. Latornell. In charge of program and games wer-; Mrs. J. Argyle, convener, Mrs. E. H. Paterson and Mrs. W. G. Bunter. Mrs. M.

Law enforcement costs of the board from April, 1922, to March. 1927, amounted to $782,277.41, an average of $166,455.00 a year. Law enforcement by the present liquor board for the put half year cost $23,673.22, or at the rate of $47,346 a year. In theee days when governments must cut their costs in order to meet seriously reduced revenue, such savings aa theee which have been effected by the British Colombia liquor boerd are matters for congratulation. Good Worfr Heavy snowfall has coet the city of Neleon some hundreds of dollars in money spent in snow-plowing and snow removal. The money has been well spent and the mayor and council are to be congratulated upon the work which has been done. Snow removal, especially without special equipment, is a tough job, but the only alternative is to have banks of snow beside the sidewalks, which interfere with traffic, and which when a thaw comes result in turning the streets into rivers of slush. Circumstances Stronger Than Precedents Unusually prompt has been acceptance by the United States two houses of congress of President Hoover's moratorium proposals. So many American politicians have in the past expressed strong disapproval of relief to war debtor nations that it is significant of a marked change in American public opinion that the senate and the house of representatives should have adopted the Hoover plan without undue delay. Historically, there are many and valid reasons why the people of the United States should desire to adopt a position of detachment from European nations. But circunwtances are stronger than precedents. No nation in these days can live unto itself, and the United States is now showing less unwillingness to recognize and face the facts. A B. C* Domestic Loan The measure of success the British Columbia government would achieve in floating a loan among the people of the province, a plan which is now being considered by Hon. J. W. Jones, minister of finance, would depend upon the aire of the issue, and the steps which were taken to promote its sale. The recent Dominion loan was oversubscribed, and British Columbians bought a lot of it. In this province there is always capital available for sound investments. In floating a provincial loan, within the boundaries of the province, a strong appeal could be made to the patriotism of the people. By Belling to British Columbians, the interest on the loan would be kept within the province, investors would secure bonds backed by more than adequate security and the government—which in the final analysis means the taxpayers—would save expenditures otherwise arising out of the exchange situation. Advertising British Columbia With the authority and wholehearted approval of the government at Victoria, Hon. F. P. Burden, the agent- general for the province in London, is launching a project as large in scope as it promises to be in results. For years past an enormous number of enquiries have been pouring into British Columbia house from every quarter of thc British Isles. A respectable proportion of them comes from people specially interested in the province from the point of view of residence and retirement here, and an equally high percentage has emanated from business houses adn private investors. It has been proposed then, to organise an ingpec- tional tour of the province under" dirtect government auspices, and give such of these enquirers as care to take advantage of it the opportunity of seeing the province, and as much as possible of its resources for themselves. The project is a novel one inasmuch as it represents the first organised effort in London on the part of any overseas government to bring together an ordinary tourist party and place its members on the privileged footing of government gueste. The scheme is announced in the form of a tour of inspection, which is to say that the farms, the orchards, mine", cawmills and canneries—in short, every aspect of activity relating to the development of the resources of British Columbia will, so far as is available, be placed on exhibit, and thrown open to personal investigation. The tour will be carried out in co-operation with the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National railways, who are shouldering the cost of the preliminary pub-" licity, and will be under the personal direction and guidance of W. A. McAdam, the secretary to the London office of the government. fbe itinerary covers a period pf seven weeks, starting from Liverpool on May 27 and embarking at Monrteal on July 8. Planned to take in as Urge tun area of British Columbia as possible, the tour will be roughly a triangular one, and will comprise the Windermere, Kootenay and Okanagan valleys and the chief cities n*f tH province both on the mainland and Vancouver Island. The price of the tour per member has been fixed at thc sterling equivalent of little over $800, and this sun, .'overs the cost o." 12,000 miles of first clasa travel, inclusive of everything except the item of gratuities on the outward and homeward Atlantic voyage. "Bctvcen Ton and Me" rrs No suiter what newspaper one picks up these daya one can always find something about the Culbert* aon and Lens bridge contest. Tbls bridge battle, being calmly waged ln Mew Tork, has risen to such height* that tbs news has become really sporting news. Xt is emaslng Just how this oontract gams la handled by newspapermen from tbe 10th floor on which Culbertson resides. • • • The difference between ths contract bridge contest and any other champlons.iip sporting event is the fact that there are bo cash customers. Kobody osn watch ths plsy except tbe referee, two clerks and Culbertson's butler. Reporters to get s look la, have to peek through s crack In a leather screen which bean the words "Absolute alienee." • • • The mechanism of reporting eaeh plght'a play la one of the more interesting novelties of ths contest. A contract bridge tournamont being an entirely new idea, an entirely new method of handling the preaa had to be invented. At first the mechaniem ground alowly with tbe reports on eaeh hand coining to the preaa room* half an hodr after play, but now the Interval has been reduced to five minutes. The system, briefly. Is this: As esch card la plsyed. Instead ot being laid ln tbe center of the table, lt la plaoed faoe down In front ef the player. At the completion of a band, the four groupe of cards ate gathered and plaoed ln apeclally constructed receptacles, so that all the cards played by each contestant are kept -together. These earda then form a permanent record and a new deck la put tn play for the neat hand. During the play of the hand a secretary, seated nearby, watches the carda and makes a nots of each plsy. Shs also takes down the bid and the result. After each hand, the important statistics, such aa name of successful bidder, amount of bid, and result of play srs taken out to the press room snd posted on a bulletin board together with the acore ae it atands at that point, the number of the rubber and information showing which party ia vulnerable. The reporters, after fighting their way through tbe crowd of klbltier* that gather before the board make their notea from It, and, in tt» case of press association men, put their copy directly on the wire to headquarters. see And speaking of cards I got roped Into s game they call "freeze-out."

To the Editor, of Ths Nelaon Dally News. Sir:— My rather hopeless, but well- loved opponent "Canadian", has returned to the attack on my excessive optimism snd in his snxl- ety for my well oetng hopss that I am not ln for the bitter disappointments that were experienced by Owen Ruskin and other socialists. Time will tell, but to paraphrase Tcnnyswis nne lines: "Its better to haive hoped and loat than never to have hoped at aU-" Doubtless "Canadan" repeats the Lords prayer very frequently. One could imagine him inserting after the words "Thy Kingdom come, "Ciy wlll be done on Earth aa it Is In Heaven" a private comment to the effect, that though tt is the proper thing to say theae words I know that this will never happen- Canadian" ls most emphatic in hts assertions, quite remarkably ao. He does not believe* ln Socialism and classes it amongst the exploded idea* that have worried mankind. Hs asserts "With tne vast majority of Anglo Saxons Hoclaltam Is s lost and discredited cause and socialistic theories are held to b* untenable*. Uke an reform movements socialism has it* set backs and at the present time lt la a divided and defeated party in the Old Country. However, the present prime minister la an unrepentant aociallst and the son of his most prominent supporter la another- There have been two bye elections recently in Canada for seats at Ottawa ctf these tne Conservatives captured a seat from the Liberals, but ln East Hamilton a socialist captured the seat from the Conservatives ln what nad always been a Conservative strongnold. We may expect to see Liberalism dwindle, lt haa no dlatlnctive Ideas to thrive on and in future tlie fight will be between Conservatism and Socialism right here in Canada. And I stm predict victory, for Socialism. But ls thrift Christian? It is too bad that right after commending me "to go to the apt end consider her ways and be wise" ln one letter, that poor "Canadian" hss to take It all back ln his next and devote a paragraph to showing how dangerous it would be for us to go there for wisdom for we ahould all be reduced to auto- raetoma. Dear "Canadian," you can reat assured that modern industry, whether under a mg capitalist, at- a state owned industry Is going to lend '-> reduce ua to automaton**. Under state socialism mankind can hope to secure for themselves very considerable leisure ln which to preserve and enlarge our personal- ttlea. From now on, under capitalism, wages ano working conditions are going to deteriorate, as we meet the competition of the Asiatics snd our open landa and free resources are secured to private own- era. "Canadian" was unfortunate with the ants, if only he could teach the poor insects the errora of their ways and Introduce capitalism amongst them seme of them might become almost as well off aa he is. after a life of hard work and great thrift. But he is not discouraged. Back be goes to the scriptures and -tortures and perverts more poor verses ln the hope that he msy prove that Christ taught thrift. He asks what I make of the parable of ths five wise and five foolish virgins? It teaches the tremendous importance of laying up treasure ln Heaven, it has nothing to do with laying up treasure on Earth, except to discourage tt, foi doubtless the foollah vlrgina had been quite busy with worldly mat- ten and their own lttle paltry affair* and had neglected the higher things, which should bave enabled them to shine like well trimmed lamps in a dark world. Neither haa hla other selection from Chrlsts teaching* sny bearing on this question. But I wtll aak "Canadian" to explain what Jesus meant by the parable of the rich farmer whose ground brought forth abundantly, wbo was planning to bnlld bigger barns and to enjoy himself wben Ood said, "Thou tool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee". poe* pot that noet prosperous farmer rather remind ue of th* people on this continent about three years ago? 7*7 again "Oinaoian". You hsv* by no means exhausted the scriptures so fsr, though it seems to me you have often been unfortunate n your selections, but then again, It may be hsrd to flna any proof that Christ taught thrm. Tou were far nappler ln your final selection where you refer to the miracle of reeding the ftve thousand «nd Christ's command af ter ail had hsd enough ta est to gather up thS fragment* that remain, twelve baskets mil" I hsve not ths slightest doubt that Jesus hated waste. Be was thankful for food and took good care to express his thanks for It Such thrift ls nobis and Chrlstisn but laying up for ourselves ls lg* noble snd unohriatlan and yet we are attempting to build our civilization on such rotten foundations, J. C HAJtRXB, What tlie Press Is Saying PROVINCE-WIDE MEDICANCY Touching on the prospects for aome plstn-speskng at Nanaimo as between the member* of tbs Conservative party and the government, the \ ncouver Province says: "The members ot the government, we hope, speaking from the depths of our experience, will tell the convention, In language Just as plain aa they can make lt. Just how the Conservative party has failed the government and the province ln the present emergency, how office-seekers have badgered ministers who bad no offices to confer, how heeler* snd henchmen hsve been loud ln their cry for Jobs snd favors, how party hangers-on, Interested only in patronage, have made a mock of economy, how ward bosses and their lieutenant* succeeded, by thetr greed, ln damaging the promising scheme devised, last eummer, for ths relief of unemployment and the betterment of ths province." Since tbls comes from s Conservative newspaper, tt 1* not likely t.-.at the picture is over-drawn. There has, Indeed, been plenty of evidence here ln Vancouver that the office n ekers rave "badgered ministers" and that much of the discontent with the party leadership engendered In the committee rooma of ward associations here bas hsd Its origin in dissatisfaction with the dlstrlbu tion of "government Jobs." Hitherto, however, the allegation that ward bosses and their lieutenant*, by their greed, have succeeded in "damaging the promising scheme devised last summer for ths relief of unemployment" ha* been made only tn ttie columns of the opposition press snd hs* consequently been discounted on the ground that it was advanced for political purposes. The Province hae now given it an Imprimatur auch that lt cannot very well be left where t stands. Since ttie party is ln convention, the party should excise ths ulcer Into the Hasting* Street, paper thst hss *o deftly Inserted Its lancet. But Conservatives who do not aerve their party for nought sre not the only people who have seen ln the effort* of the government to relieve distress an opportunity to raid the public treasury. British Columbia seema to have been infected more or lees with the "gtm- mle" disease. The announcement that tbe administration would employ destitute men ln building roads has been the algnal for horde* of municipal representative* to descend on Victoria with demands that their own scheme* of developement be carried out. Small communities that have no more than the normal amount of unemployment to take care of have made that unemployment an excuse for demanding thousands of dollars —with so little justification that ths amount ultimately allowed ha* only been five or 10 per cent of that requested. On the whole it la a* well that Ottawa called a halt. The pressure of the provincial government was tremendous. Had not a limit been set to the sums lt might spend on relief work lt would have been found practically Impossible to keep the exp.ndl.ure within bounds- It seemed to b* forgotten by those who thought, apparently, that they hod discovered a Tom Tlddler'a ground, tbat every dollar borrowed on federal security would have to be repaid with Interest sooner or later. Many of the municipalities, tn tbelr eagerness to obtain expenditures on public works, recked nothing of the liabilities that were accumulating for future yeara, The provincial government hss made mistakes in handling unemployment, but it* mistake* have not been prompted by greed, although possibly, by a laudable *m- bltion to retain offloe, nor woul# they hav*- been of any great importance had tt obtained generous cooperation where lt might reasonably Qtve expected tt.

While It ls the height of most bowlers' ambition to bowl a perfect game, others will roll their last ball down the gutter rather than atempt the final stroke. Joe Fllger did this once in St. Louis sever*- years ago when rolling In Petersons Classic. He had eleven straight strikes in one game aad then dropped the next ball in the gutter on purpoee. A "390" game ls enough for any body, said Joe. His friends prevailed on him to roll another ball and he wu right in the "one-three" pocket for hla 12th straight strike. However, the average bowler needing a strike on hla last ball for a perfect game, is usually a complete nervous wreck and Is very liable to hit somebody on the adjoining alleys with his ball. He doeent' know where It's going and n.lther do the spectators.

C—IIICRSDAY MOBMNG, DECEMBER 31, 1531-= Market and Mining News BRITISH EMPIRE GOLD VORLD'S MAIN SOURCE Proven Unmined Geld in the Empire Places Her in a Dominating Position to Control Its Distribution Throughout the World in the Future With laterset In tbe world economic situation oentered about gold and witn tha United States and France holding approximately 66 per cent of that used in Ute monetary systems of the world, lt la regarded as gratifying to kitow that While Oreat Britain is off the gold standard, tbe British Empire produces 78 per cent of the world's output of gold and bas proven and potential ore reserves about equivalent to all tbe gold In monetary uae «t the present time. What Winston Cburot.ni eald In his dramatic way about gold being dug out of a hole In South Africa to be placed in other holes in United Statee and France has a bearing on the British Empire's future gold position. The estimated gold produced from 1493 to the end of June last la estimated at 1.112,382,410 ounces, having a value of approximately W3.000.000.000. Of this approximately 110,700.000,000 or about 46 per cent is In the monetary eystems of tha world, of which United States has approximately g4.600.000.- 000. and Franoe about $2,300,000,000, or 65 per oent of the world total. Of tbe total wond production of gold the British Empire haa produced approximately 513,481.3-7 ounces valued at 110,600,000,000 or near one-half of thla amount South Africa baa produced 250.713,736 ounces valued at S5.i80.000.ooo or about 36 per osnt of tbe total gold In the world. When lt Is realized tbat South Africa ts et present producing about 75 per osnt of the output whUe tha British Empire Is produclnk about 75 per oent of the current production, tba true perspective of tbe British Empire's gold position ls attained, uore than this. of tbe known snd measured gold ors reserves of the world, Bouth Africa hss we yet to be mined valued et ovar g500.000.000. Tbls vast proven gold ore reeerve does not take Into account the ore tn the mines of On*** ane of other Brltlah possessions, the amount of which can not be delimited and estimated as can the ore of South Africa. The preeent gold situation tn so fsr as Its known distribution Is con- oerhed is that United States baa shout 14.600.000.000 stored ln Its men-mode vaults, while the oroven gold reserves ot the British Empire ars over •5,000,000.000, more safely stored In the bosom of mother nature. The British Empire is providing the world with sbout 75 per eent of tte present production and rapidly gaining In the percentage of tbe total, united States haa bssn aa important gold producer in bygone years, but from Its peak year of production in 1915, wben the output wis 4.633.673 ounces, the production has steadily diminished and ls currently around the 2.000.000 ounce annuel rate, a decrease of 50 per cent. The British Bmptr© struck Its stride s» an Important gold producer about forty years ago when the South African fields cam* into prominence. Thua ln forty years tbe production of the Emnlre haa been steadily increasing, assisted In a most generous way by the output from Csnada, whloh 11 now the seoond most important gold produoer, with Its production Increasing at a rapid rate. The nature of tbe ore depoalta ln Canada are such that they are conductive to accurate measurement without a great deal of unjustified expense, but Lake Shore Mlnen, currently Canada's largett gold produoer has alreadv produoed approximately W5.000.000, and conservative engineers have estimated that at least $100,000,000 In commercial ore la yet to be mined. This amount is equivalent to one per oent of the gold at present ln the monetary systems of tbe world Great Britain suspended gold payment from 1014 to 1936. This vnn made advisable as a war measure ln order to prevent enemy accumulation. The present action by Ormt Britain does not mean the abolition of the gold standard, nor would auch a step be regarded aa consistent when it is the Principal present source of gold production as indicated by tta proven gfold ore reserves. The fear that the world it tottering from the gold standard snd that, «s one economist expressed lt. lt would only bt used for filling teeth has been pretty well dispelled as indicated by tbe upward market action of the gold atocka. in the meantime tbe earning of the gold producers in Canada are greatly enhanced by the premium on United Statee funds.

Cooley) (AP) —81<rw selling made substantial lnrcads today into the balanc. of the stock market's gains o; the last weekend. Wall street attributed the attrition to tax selling, since only four more days remain for such operations, and the same reason was advanced In many quarters for reactionary trndencles in bonds. In regard to senior securities, profit- taking was doubtless a factor; the market had bad four successive daya cf advanoe prices. Railroad shares softened noticeably. The carrier .group oon tat ned some or the day'a largest loeeee.
