Nisbet, of •n interpleader ictlon, the C, Q. Mining company vs, Ted Anderson, to determine ownership of (3-9.3A pild Into court by the Bank ot Montrtil, but his honor declined to include ln the order a direction that the trill ihould be on affidavits, which E. P. Dawson and S. H. Hamilton, solicitors for the opposed parties, jointly proposed, u a meant of lessening trial costs. Interpretation of the word "freight" In an agreement respecting royalties to be paid on ore shipped from the Kilo silver-lead property in the Slocan, is the poinl around which the case revolves, and his honor recently ordered an interpleader trial to dettrmlnt entitlement to the money, naming the company at the plaintiff and Anderson as defendant. EVIDENCE BY AFFIDAVIT What "freight" customarily means In district usage, the lawyers propose to prove or disprove by affi- davlU, it being agreed that those giving the affidavits ihall be lubjtct to cross-examination on them. His honor permitted the inference that If the lawyers were willing the cue ihould be determined on affidavits, it was agrteable to the court, but he could tee no reason why he should give a direction. Mr. Dawson explained that while he md hit turned friend were agreed reipecting whit they were mutuilly willing to do, they felt that determination of the basis of trial waa the court's prerogative, and that they should bring the matter before his honor before going further with lt for the week-end with her parenU, Mr. and Mrs. H.

By SAM ROBERTSON Cinadiin Prist 8Uff Wrlttr NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (CP) - Col. Frank Knox, who hu betn fighting most ot hit tl yean with either the pen or the iword, may lead the Republican forcei Into the United Statei battle of the ballots next June. Thli blustery, energetic man who rose from private to colonel In the army, and from reporter to publisher ln the newspaper field, is rated today as one of the G.O.P.'s leading front trench presidential possibilities. The others are former President Herbert Hoover, Senator Borah and Vanderberg and Governor Alt Landon ot Kansas, Knox will not be pinned down on the question of his availability for the nomination. An unequivocal "no" is missing, however, as he leavei his work-desk ln the Chicigo Dally Newi to tour the country in a vigorous crusade agalnit Pruldent Roosevelt tnd his new deil. "GREATEST ISSUE" "The greatest issue of our generation," he telli the voten, ii the choice between "• volunUry iyi- tern ln our political economy or s system of coercion." The "loose and reckless' Roosevelt financial policlei, he uys, have brought about a situation wherein every earner of $23 a week li liable ta e tax reduction of S5.38 from each pay envelope. He is for the competitive tyitem but he would curb that rapacious element "tb prevent abuiu by the greedy." Hii climb in newspaper- dom wis marked by nre busineu sagacity and lt il believed his candidacy would have the backing of a good share of the powerful Industrial bloc ln the Republican ranks. Knox hu stoltn a march on the reit of the field.

The text of the committee's report was made public today oh the authority of the Honourable G. M. Weir, provincial secreUry. All employees, except agricultural labourers, earning less than $1800 a yeflr, and their dependents, will be covered by the proposed new bill. Services of physicians, hospitalization, drugs and medicines and diagnostic laboratory aids will be available to 129,000 employees and their dependents for a total cost of about 10 cenU per working day, including the contribution of both employer and employee, the report proposes. The committee'! report, which ii based on opinions submitted by a variety of organizations during the public hearings of lut August and September, includes important recommendations as follows: (1) That the Income limit proposed ln the draft bill be reduced from $2400 a year to $1800 a y»ir. (2) That beneflto include the following: services of physicians; hosplUI ward care for a minimum of three weeki (more If financially possible!; essential diagnostic X-ray and laboratory aids; essential drugs with the Insured paying more than twenty-five per cent of the cost if found necessary. (3) That insured employees and their employers be assessed on a flat rate up to those earning $1000 a year, those earning above this to be Assessed at two per cent of their Income, their employers one per cent. (4) That no cash benefits be paid. (3) That the health insurance commission be composed of preferably of three and not more than five persons, with representatives ot both employers and employees. (6) That a technical advisory council of six be erected to advise the he»lth insurance commission.

' HOW DETERMINED On the question of determining the income limit of those to come under the scheme the report readi: "In the original draft bill, the compulsory insurance clause applied to all employees with annual incomes under $2400. At the bearings, strong representations were made favoring either an increase in this income limit or no upper limit at all. On the other hand, the College of Physicians and Surgeons recommended that the limit be decreased to $1500 a year. The 1932 British Columbia royal commission favored the limit of $2400. Exhaustive evidence gathered by the committee on the cost of medical care clearly indicates the need lor health insurance even above the level of $2400. So tar as the attitude of the present hearings committee is concerned, some members of, the committee think that the $2400 limit should sUnd, some that it ahould be increased, but all are in agreement that the limit should not be reduced bcHiw $1800 a year. This means that a mere modest beginning will be made—one that should enlist the cooperation of both the physicians and the employers. The major consideration of the committee in suggesting that the limit of $2400 be reduced to $1600 is the desirability of obtaining the cooperation of the medical profession. Over 300,000 employees and de- pendents will come into the plan on this basis, It was stated. In suggesting a smaller assessment the committee recommended a change from the provisions of the draft bill which called for maximum charges of three per cent of wages from employees and two per cent from employers. This means a much lower cost. It also proposed that no limit as to the financial responsibility of the provincial government should be specified, but suggested the British Columbia Hospital act should be revised in view of the changed financial situation \ the hospitals will face as a result of the health insurance scheme. The committee held that the ultimate responsibility for the continued operation of hospitals must remain with the province and the municipalities. The government, the committee recommends, should assume the full cost ot caring for Indigent persons, who would not contribute to the plan. "IndigenU," the report states, should be rigidly defined as those actually dependent for their lupport on public funds. While not in favor of iUrtlng out with cash benefits, the report proposes that the health Insurance commission study this question with the object of introducing them later. Several recommendation! were made with regard to the administration of the health Insurance plan, chiefly directed at simplifying the system and making it less expensive. Of these the most important was the recommendation that no provisions be made in the bill for committees or councils, other than for the advisory council. "It is understood, of course, that the commission will secure competent technical advice from the various professional groups on questions that affect them."

DEC. 11, 1935 recommendi, should be composed of such officials aa the piovinr.il health officer, the chairman of the workmen's compensation board, the deputy minister of labor, the director of social welfare, a representa- tive of the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the director of medical services. The committee favored the principle of the continued existence of private plans which meet the provisions of the bill but recommended that where private sickness benefit schemes do not come under the commission, the "employers should contribute to the commission the amounts they would have been assessed under the provincial plan, or where employers are paying less to a private plan than tney would under the provincial scheme, they should pay the difference to the commission. CARE OF CHILDREN t A final paragraph ln the report deals with the care of children, sUting that "the committee wants to fo on record as being strongly in avor pf adequate preventive and curative medical care for children. They consider thia position is sound not only on humanitarian grounds, but sound on business grounds. Adequate medical care for children will save heavy expenses in later years. They regret that health insurance, particularly if it is not applied to rural communities, will not provide for the treatment of all children in the province. Accord, ingly they recommend that provision be made through the provincial board of health for the care of all children not eligible for health insurance benefits."

Following • tip from his brother, Martin Fry soon after staked a .uartx lead on Forty-nine creek, but It proved not to be the mother lode from which the placer gold lower down came. One of the Incidents of that year, Mr. Fry used to recall, was the famous poker gamt in Nelson between Jim Wtrdner tnd John Davenport, for the right to buy the Gtnlte-Poomun mine, .Just below the lettlement thit liter became Nelson.

LIFE INSURANCE' There ls no other business in Canada which so Intimately touches the lives of Canadian men and women as life insurance. In the space of a comparatively few years it has developed into an institution, which contributes, not only to the financial welfare of the individual and his family, but to the progress and prosperity of the Dominion as a whole, touching as it does the lives of millions of Canadian men and women. Life insurance is a great co-operative enterprise, which has built up assets of approximately $2,000,000,- 000, which are jointly owned by about 3,500,000 policyholders—a third of Canada's population. The Canadian companies engaged in the life insurance business really act in the capacity of custodians of trust funds, which represent the accumulated savings of about one-third of Canada's population. These funds are known as "Re- ' serves" and are made compulsory by law to insure the carrying out of the company's obligations to its policyholders. The policyholders in reality own all these reserves, and the total which has been set aside by Canadian companies is now more than $1,500,000,000. It is not only made compulsory upon the insurance companies operating in Canada to set aside these Reserves, but they must be invested in securities authorised by the Government—Government and municipal bonds, first mortgages, public utilities and sound utilities' and sound industrial enterprises. The soundness of the investment policies of the companies has been tried and proven during periods of financial stress, such as that through which we have just passed. The major portion of the combined assets of Canadian life insurance companies is investment in Government and municipal bonds {ind debentures. As a policyholder ill one of these companies you share in the ownership of these securities, which are providing funds for the construction of highways, railways, canals, schools and other important public Enterprises.' And you also have a definite financial interest in Canadian farms and homes and in the industrial firms in which your company has invested its assets. Thus your money is going to further the progress and development of the nation. This of course is entirely aside from the advantages which accrue to the individual who invests all or part of his or her savings in life insurance. You may be building up financial independence for later years; guaranteeing an adequate income for your wife should you die or be disabled; building up a fund for the education of your children. Not so many years ago by far the greater share of the moneys disbursed by insurance companies went to the beneficiaries of the insured person. Now, however, it is living policyholders who are receiving the benefits. Last year for example, 75 per cent of all the benefits paid by Canadian companies went to living policyholders. To the nation, as well as the individual, this distribution of Ufe insurance funds is bringing untold benefits from year to year. TENNYSON HOME TO RENT Looking over properties for sale in The London Observer one would think that half of the estates in England are on the.market. Last week's advertisements contained one that will arouse memories in the older generation. One of the advertisements announces that Farring- ford, the Isle df Wight home of Lord Tennyson for the last 40 years of his life is to be let furnished. It is almost impossible to realize Jiow much Far- ringford meant to the generation of our fathers and grandfathers. Tennyson is regarded in some circles as a smug Victorian. But for 20 years before his death Lord Tennyson enjoyed a prestige which probably no other poet in the world's history has ever enjoyed during his, lifetime and his home on the Isle of Wight became an object of pilgrimage for everybody from the Queen downwards, i The Prince Consort, Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Charles Darwin, Jenny Lind, and Garibaldi were some of the people-who visited Tennyson. It was in 1853 that the poet first became attracted to the house and rented it. Three years later he boftght it and made it his home until his death. Most of his poetry was written in this Isle of Wight home. Farringford is sheltered by ancient trees which the poet loved and which he describes: For groves of pine on either hand, To break the blast of winter, stand; And further on, the hoary Channel Tumbles a billow on chalk and sand. DECLINING BIRTH RATE WORRIES Between You* and Me ByJ.B.C Deer J.B.C.: Here'a another curling story: Spectator at curling rink: "I wonder why men wear pads on their kneet while curling?" Another tpeclator: "Don't you know? It ii because they are scared of getting housemaid's knees." THE MENACE OF THE BICYCLE A New York editorial writer, speaking gravely, said on May 31, "The klUlng of a little girl tar a reckless rider of a bicycle has served, for the moment to make these rubber-shod missile! of the highways more careful of their movementi. But there ii no hope that any real or lasting relief from the danger and annoyance to whicli wayfarers ln the Boulevard are daily lubjected will come through any change of heart In the bicycle riders. The pedestrian must be better protected by lawi enforced by the police." ... HORRIBLEI HORRIBLEI ' "Strange tcenes," says a London newspaper, "marked the ice hockey National league game at Wembley,' In blackface type in the middle of the itory the strangest scene" is revealed: "A hectic spell of play followed, two of the playen coming to blows and being ordered off.

CAN ANYBODY PLAY THE PIANO? The Anti-Saloon lesgue and Bishop Cannon are back on the job. In convention in Louisville the delegates sang this militant bittle song ot prohibition: I will not eat my wsffles brown, Alongside one who gulps beer down; I'll take my patronage away And hunt me up a new cafe. The grocery where I used to buy Sells beer on tap while I stand by, I'll not go back, though I go far, I'll buy no groceries at a ban ... It ls this sort ot rhyming thst mikes on dread any possible return to prohibition, and causes Elmer Twitchell ln the New York Sun, impudently to ansVer: If I ihould with • glass of beer While you are eating waffles netr I would not know md would not care If you got up and went trom there.

In the Old House PARIS, (CP>—Fnnce'i declining birthrate ls due to take • sharper drop during the next decade, those studying the problem believe—because ot the Grett War. There were 1,700.000 fewer blrthi than there would have been normally In France, It was computed, between 1914 and 1919. Babies born in that period have now reached marriageable age, or ere nearlng it Their paucity is expected to be reflected In fewer marriages and fewer births in the coming decade.

Editor, Nelson Daily News: Sir-Like the poor, the opportunist, the prophet and the muddle- headed seem to be always with us, as witness recent articles in your "What Do You Think" column. One might aak, who Is there among us Siat can gauge his own individual fe, even one year from now? And yet, there are those who are actually predicting the outcome of the next provincial election in British Columbia. British Columbia, like many other sections of the world's people, may be caught up ln the whirl-pool of international squab- bles long before the next provincial election. No he is a bold man who predicts, but the man who forecasts either the weather or an election, usually does so from desire rather than intelligent observation or the necessary evidence. When the late Kelr Hardle stated "Before socialism could get anywhere in England the Liberal party must be completely annihilated" he did so from a knowledge of the rank and tile muddle-headedness In the absence ot more definite economic development essential to clarification. The Labor element ln England, in spite of its defeat recently, rejoices inasmuch as the Liberal or middle party has been totally eclipsed, and with fast moving changes in every direction tt would seem that the socialists can expect to ride to victory before long. There are those who maintain that Canada will pus through • similar phase of political and social development u England. If this contention be near correct, how long will it be before the Liberal party or middle party in this country will become eclipsed also? And will British Columbia lead the way at the next provincial election? There ts every indication that the C.C.F. will control the government in British Columbia next time, forcing the two old line parties to unite, becoming sooner or later Dominion- wide under some sort of national government as ln England. This development ls slated to eclipse the middle party in Canada. Mr. "Onlooker" may be quite correct In his forecast that the present British Columbia government will go down to defeat But the recent Alberta election may well be taken as a sign that the electorate is prepared to totally banish the two old line parties. The Social Credit party is admittedly bouregois, with nothing to offer but palliatives already transparent setting forth to do the Impossible (reform the present poverty and disease-breeding system of society that calls itself civilizstion and democracy) and to attempt to make it function in the interesta of a working class while othen own and controL The broken promises of the Social Credit party, already on the horizon, will render them short-lived, and place them in the same cate- fory u the two oldjnajor parties, e. the scrap-heap of inefficiency. From the socialist standpoint there is no delusion as to the Social Credit party and Its failure, supplying ammunition for the capitalists' parties at the next British Columbia election. In the words of Bobbie Burns, "To gull the mob and keep Uiem under, the ancients told them tales of wonder" Social Credit proved in Alberta, that the mob is still gullible, notwithstanding six years of depression and hardship. The eternal progress of economic forces carries on quite an educational program all its own. The mob will sooner or later become disillusioned. The advent of, and the early disappearance ot the Social Credit party will help to disillusion them. The socialists nave pointed out time and again that neither Major Douglas nor Premier Aberhart's brand of Social Credit is sound and, therefore, doomed to failure, and the freater the failure of Aberhart's eclesiastical Social Credit Idealism, Uie greater Uie victory of the CCF- Mr. "Onlooker" uys thst he has been 90 years trying to lind out what the capitalist system really is, but hu not found out yet. Evidently this man can't see wood for trees. Fifty yean under capitalism without knowing, but not a day of socialism and knows everything. "Onlooker" is unfortunately talking without his text book. Any student of 'isms should know that Roosevelt's N.R.A. or similar experiments, is not in the leut akin to socialism. And to accuse the socialists of advocating confiscating is pure Imbecility. The truth of the matter is exactly the opposite. Socialism advocates the social ownership of the means of life in order that the wealth might be free from confiscation at the hands of legalized rob- ben. Doei "Onlooker" mean to tell us that the Japanese Invasion of China and aU other similar actions on the part of the capitalist class through their military representatives is not confiscation? Does he want us to believe that the Italian invasion of Ethiopia and the annexation of East African territory PHYSICIAN TELLS OF CRITICAL ' LETTERS HE GETS ' By LOGAN CLENDENING. MJ). SORROW Count each affliction, whether light or grave, God'i messenger sent down to thee; do thou With courtesy receive him; rlu and bow; And, ere his shadow pals thy threshold, crave Permission tint his heavenly feet to lsve; Then lay before him ill thou hut; •now No cloud of paulon to usurp thy brow, Or mar thy hospitality; no wive Of mortal tumult to obliterate The soul's marmoreal calmness. Grief should be, Like Joy, majestic, equable, sedate; Confirming, cleaning, rilling making free; Strong to consume small troubles, to commend Great thoughts, grave thoughts, ' thoughts lasting to the end. —Aubrey Thomu De Vere is not confiscation? This writer tells us that socialism ts on the retreat, and that world reacUon and recoil from socialist propaganda is terrific. Well! Well! Weill Then will he explain why capitalism, chiefly armament firms internationally organized, financed Mr. Fascist Hitler an_ Mr. Fascist Mussolini in the formation of their Fascist armies to murder and plunder the socialists of Europe (such armies in contravention of the Versailles treaty), even to confiscation of polling booths, ballot boxes and the desecration of the people's right to freely express their opinion In an orderly and peaceful manner, that the might elect a government ot their own free will and choice? Is it because socialism Is on the retreat that Sir Oswald Moseley back by Industrialist money forms his Fascist army ln free old England? Or ls It because capitalism can no longer hang on to the wealth they have confiscated from the worken all through the ages, except by sheer force of arms? Mr. "Onlooker" says that he is sick, tired and silly of the ravings and slanderous onslaughts against the capitalist If he is one of them, perhaps it hurts • little. Perhapa it would console him to know that the socialists are sick ot it too. But they are more sick because of prevailing conditioni that give rise to such distasteful things. Better prepare yourself. Mr. "Onlooker" or don your sack-cloth and ashes, because socialism is coming anyway. The right to freedom of opinion belongs to Mr. "Onlooker" but the right to distort truths and deny natural economic development belongs only to the wicked, fools and ignorant *• Douglas Social Credit also Aberhart's; Roosevelt'l N.R.A., Pattullo's work and wages, King's reciprocity, Hitler's national socialism are all so much of an illusion, peddled to the masses ot mankind in order that Capitalism might continue in the saddle a little longer. Let any one ot the capitalist henchmen referred to above ever dare to make a move ln the direction of true socialization and the hell hounds will be let loose. Their Job and their life would be at stake. But so long as they are willing to maintain and serve the interests of king capitalism,-by pet nostroms, political bellywash and the like, no matter to what depths of privation and want the worken are driven, they will be heralded by profiteers and incidentally by men like Mr. Onlooker, as savioun of the human race. However well meaning they may be, however honest they be in their desire to bring about better conditions, unless their every move gives Shylock his pound of flesh, they can get nowhere, ao long as the means of life is owned and controlled by the few. This is what is meant by capitalism, Mr. Onlooker, and if you want any further proof ask Mr. Pattullo. He has Just been to Ottawa in order to augment his work and wages. He comes back, presumably a disappointed man, though he ought to know better. He must have known, even before the election that he would be obliged to do his masters bidding, or peradventure, like Mr. Onlooker, he too hasn't found out yet what capitalism really is. Onlooker talks ot reaction and recoil. Does he not realize that, fundamentally there Is no difference between reaction and retrogression and that progress, fortunately for all of us, is eternal. In the evolutionary process ot man there hu been periods of reaction and retrogression. There has also been periods of equilibrium and progress in which progress is made througn social achievement Studying human history we find that the balance of races in the equilibrium ultimately creates a dynamic agent necessary for its own destruction. One outcome ls the process of selective elimination. We are passing through that process now. The economic and social structure of capitalist society is crumbling because it fails to function in the general Interest of the masses. Races, states, people, nations, that have aggressed, clashed, clinched, annihilated in the struggle for mutery finds their finish in Fascism and marks Uie disappearance of the last vestige of Social dualism. It signifies the end of the class struggle within capitalist society. Through the process of conquest and struggle, compromise and equilibrium, resulting therefrom, will be society based on the Social ownership ot the means of life, resulting from race war and which took thousands of yean to complete. Human history not only gives a vivid example of the elimination of superfluous structures, economic and social, but it shows that the strong structures survive and that the weak ones are destroyed In exact proportion as they serve or hinder the onward progress of man. Time wu when hunting grounds were slim and food supplies scarce. Animals and man fought desperately. The ensuing struggle between man and man for the same reason was far more terrible. But the situation is somewhat different today. Though capitalist hunting grounds are scarce and exploitation more difficult there is an abundance of food and all the I am frequently uked whether 1 ever receive any letten from readen which are of a critical or antagonistic nature. The answer is, I do. I will append a few as umplea of what a writer experiences from time to time. I take medicine of this kind regularly three or four times a day. I usually try to reply to it poetically so u to keep my temper sweet as follows: 1. From Dr, H.: "I chaUenge your absurd statement In today's paper. Don't be sn old fogey." "Never morning wore to evening but some heart Old break." 2. Mr. G. K.: "I am astonished that any newspaper would allow an lg* noramous like you to publish articles in its columns." "Ossi on Olympus heave, on Ossa Pelion." : . 3. Min G. R. E.: "You must have had • most unfortunate experience with your school instructors. So far as I am concerned I never wish to hear your name again." "Farewell-tt word that must be and hath been—a sound that makes us linger—yet farewell" 4. Mr. R.S.L: "I should think the only thing they would let you treat are hones." "A hone thou knowest, a man thou dost not know." 5. Scornful: "Your writings on dietetic subjects, especially aluminum, would cause me to break Into laughter if they were not so pitiful." 'Tf life were always merry Our souls would seek relief And rest, from weary laughter ARITHMETIC DEPRESSES SCHOOLGIRL By OARRY C. MYERS, PH. D. Head Depirtment Parent Education Clivtltnd College, Western Reiervt University A mother writes ibout her diughter, nine, entering the fifth grade with a failure ln the fourth ln arithmetic: "Her littl- eyei filled with tean u ihe came home and handed me her report card... I am • very worried mother trying to help my children, and my little girl ls so downhearted and disappointed that she lost her appetite and lust sits like an old person and thinks ihe hain't had a fair dea).,, , "Keep up the good work you are doing ai you don't know how much we people out here in the coal mining region ippreclite your column. We have no library at our doorsteps u city folk do." I wrote this mother with feeling, for I could see that sht was suffering with her child. Whst • lympi- thetlc mother ihe must be! "Since your diughter failed ln arithmetic in the fourth grade, ahe must hive hid trouble In part or a**l of these—hard addition, hard subtraction, multiplication, and long division. First ot all, quietly check on the simple addition combinations as 9 tnbV7, 4 and 8; then on tht simple luBtraetlon combinations tt, 15-6, 11-3. If she must pause .to count or li uncertain, or makei mistakes, dont scold or express astonishment it her failure. Help her to learn theie facts, to memorize them. Set down these complete number facts, (the two numbers and answer, in each case), having her attack only five or ilx each evening." MANY HAVE TROUBLE Scores of children who have trouble with arithmetic, even in the fifth and sixth grades, still don't know all these basic number combinations, and there are only one hundred of these combinations ln addition; and the child may have trouble with less than a dozen of them. So long as a child hu trouble with any ot these basic number facts, he is always miserable. "Also try to find your daughter's trouble when she adds, subtracts or multiplies. In esse she does well in these, next hsve her "think aloud" in each step as she does a ihort easy problem in long division. Do some short problems ilowly for her, leaving the work for her to examine later. All the while try to keep very calm, with your voice toft and low, so that sht will feel comfortable and confident." Then I told this mother where lhe could get Inexpensive self-helps for each grade In arithmetic, whereby the child might happily teach her •elf. S In quiet armi of grief." S. OA.: "There ought to be a law against such people as you." "A pennyweight of love is worth • pouna of law." DON'T DARE PRINT 7. L.D.: "I'll bet you don't dare Erlnt thli—but after reading your ne of tripe, I come to the conclusion that you ought to be In the woman'! fashion department. What you don't know would fill a library of encyclopedias." "And from my uhea may be made the violet of my native land." "Every library should try to be complete on some thing, if it were only the history of pin heads." — Oliver Wendell Holmes. 8. A Former Admirer: "I used to believe you knew something about physiology, but after reading your recent remarks on vegetarianism, I have decided that I cannot be bothered with anyone u infinitesimal as you." . "Hail, Borrora, hall, Infernal world. And thou, profoundest heU, receive thy new possessor." 9. Iowa: "I suggest that you have a season of fasting and prayer and aee if you can't get back, a somewhat more balanced viewpoint" "Ruin seize thee, ruthless king, Confusion on thy banners wait." 10. S.O.: "I wish I had, time and liberty to tell you what I think of you." License they mean when they cry Liberty, , For who loves that must tint be wise and good." CONTRACT BRIDGE By E. V. SHEPARD "Teacher Of Teachers" CAN WEST OO GAME! Mr. John Henry Dalley, Denver, Col., sent in the following interesting hand, which he played at 4 Hearts.

The struggle wlU continue for a brief period yet (at least until the masses become completely disillusioned). But! the process of the Workers' revolution and the ever changing economic background continues apace. Necessitated as it is by the existance of clau antagonisms the period will be much shorter and events which stare us In the face, whether we like it or not, whether we' want it or not, the hand writing on the wall fully Justifies the statement that the equilibrium resulting therefrom will be social ownership, (Socialism). After the establishment of that equilibrium man'i struggle will no longer u- sume the form of wir and destruction, for that period will be the end of clasa war, because a classless society, io long preached by the Socialists, will become an established fact (a classless society can only come along with economic equality, and economic equality can only be established under a system of social ownership of the means of life). The struggle of man will go on, but the struggle will usume a form of mental struggle and the human race will advance and progreu through social achievement No one knowi Just how near or far the hour of deliverance Is, but rest assured: Mr. Onlooker, the social body under the Impulse of impelling need, will take the direction that historic conditions determine, using the methods the circumstances will allow, taking form by its imperious requirements, trampling all opposition under-foot with the deliberatenesa of eternal law. The CCF. is ln line with the forces of progress. The election to office of the C.C.F. may be unthinkable to Mr. Onlooker. Government by the CCF. may be an evil to him, nevertheless, whether it be CCJ-. or F.F.C. since their program and teachings, give expression coincident with the forces of progress and co-operaUve effort, aU opposition forces milst either assist in the establishment ot the New Social and economic order or perish. The election of the socialists is only a mattei of time. Disillusionment of the masses is near at hand. Broken election pledges is merely a small part of it. The decisive factor ls the NOT IN THE. NEWS By WORTH CHENEY empty bread .basket. Subsistence levels become lower every day. The moral fibre of. mankind is threatened with disaster. So take warning "When needs must the devil drives." The fact that Onlooker blames socialist propaganda for the ills of mankind (socialism untried) leaves him more to be pitied than censured. There is none so blind as him who won't see, or perhaps can't see. His personal desire to see one of the old line parties back in power at the next provincial election in B.C. may have a rude awakening. Saints deliver us. What a Hope? J.W.B. Nakusp, B.C. | 10 YEARS AGO | I From Nelson Dally Newt Fllei I ♦ ' ' 4 (Dectmbtr 11, 1926) An amendment to the Motor act passed by the British Columbia legislature yesterday sets ' the spec- limit for vehicles passing schools at two miles per hour. . • • Flowers, responding to the mild weather, are still appearing in Nelson.

It is expected regular shipments will follow. The Ruth is owned by George Alexander of London, for whom lt Is being managed by James Anderson of Kulo. ... Silver wu quoted at 55*4 it New York and 26.. it London yesterday. ... Connlngsby Dawson of Willow Point entertained at a dinner party at the Hume lut night An interesting story cornea to us about the honesty of a poor and Jobless father, whose five children have been living • hand-to-mouth existence for several months. A business man of a large mid- western city sent a messenger with an envelope containing $15 to pay an outstanding bill. On the way to his destination, the messenger lost the envelope on a downtown street Curiously enough, the envelope lay on the street for almost an entire day unnoUced, while thousands ot pedestrians passed it by. It finally wu discovered by the poor and indignant father. He opened it uw the money and statement which gave him the name ot the owner. It waa the fint time in weeks he even had seen $15, let alone possess it, and while the thought may have occurred to him to keep the money and throw away the envelope, he did not hesitate in returning it It would make • better itory, we know, to ny that the owner of the money failed to reward the poor man. But that isn't so. He gave the man 15, which put him ahead So with a clear conscience. ... It Isnt our purpoie to tmpht- tlzt tht monl of tht itory. Wi an Juit wondirlng hew miny nttdy ftthen would htvt dont tht ume thing, knowing that their children win In wtnt Whit would you htvt dont? ... Thit ii one type of individual found among the unemployed. Another Is the relief chiseler, of whom you probably have heard. Another story from New York City will reveal something of his type. A young man who had worked on ocean steamen for several yean u a sailor decided to quit the sea and find a Job on land. Putting forth only a mild effort he tried to locate employment but was unsuccessful Then he "got smart", u they ny in relief circles. He married a girl who had been waiting for him to give up the sea, located a home ln the slum section and went on relief. For weeks the relief agencies furnished him and his wife food and money. Then the agency found him a Job, • far better job than he had hoped to find; Now the man lives in fairly comfortable surroundings, and drivel an automobile. ...

AUNT--HET I By ROBERT QUILLEN I "I iln't suspicious o' Pa but there's somethin' dead up the creek when a man o' hia age starts cleanln' his finger nails." GERMAN RAIL TRAFFIC GROWS BERLIN (CP)-Officials of the German state railways announced that traffic ln the flnt eight months of 1935 surpassed that of a like pe-. riod in 1934 by IA per cent, or |40,- 000,000. ♦ K J 10 » tJ 10 4 ♦ 7S4S ♦ •I Probably the declarer won the opening club lead in his own hand to lead towards dummy. Instead of trying that form of play, win with dummy's K of clubs, to at once endeavor establishment of dummy's diamonds, by leading the K. It ie probable that West led his only diamond and that North played the 9, causing declarer to play the Q. Having won that trick unexpectedly, he did not know what to do next North should win the fint diamond led from dummy. The hand may be played in many wayi, with similar results in the end. Suppose that North leads a spade, after winning the aecond trick with the A, of diamonds. As at leut one spade trick must be lost, play duaimy's 8 and allow South to win Ihe trick. That player can do no harm. Win the return lead ot t club with declarer'i A. Lead a low trump. With three trump honon missing it least one heart trick must be lost Cover North's 8 with dummy'i 9, losing to South's 10. A return lead of a low heart will do u little damage to defenden u anything else.-Play low from declaring hand, when North's K falls, win with the A, but do not at once lead trumps back. Lead the Q of diamonds. Discard one of declarer'! spades. The 8 of diamonds falling from North's hand makes It seem possible to establish that suit before dummy's A ot spades is lost. At tha eighth trick lead and ruff a diamond, dropping North's J, u hoped, and leaving the suit established ln dummy. Lead the Q of hearts, picking up the last opposing trump and leaving declarer with a tingle trump tor later uie. Lead declarer'! list spade. Win with the A. Lead dummy's good 10 and 8 of diamonds. Discard declarer's two losing clubs. Lead dummy's last spade. Ruff with declarer's lut trump, Just giving West his 4-odd. Although lt may appear that North's lead of a second club, when he wins with his A of dismonds, will be better than a lead of spades, if followed out carefully it wiU be found that variation in defensive tactics will not defeat the contract West should make 4-odd st hearts, t 35 YEARS AGO From Nilion Dilly Mlntr Fllu (Dectmbtr 11, 1900) W.

Watching eacn other*! move, the Red Sox and Tigeri announced their deals In rapid succession at the big major league player mart which sizzled with action. The Red Sox, backed by the most lavish ipen- der bMeball ever hai known in Tom Yawkey, revealed that Foxx and Pitcher Johnny Marcum had been obtilned from _r Pitcher Cordon i and rookie Catcher Rugby,- Skiing - Indoor Swimming - Curling - Bowling Al Slmmoni Philadelphia for (Dusty) Rhode George Savlno and caih, aatlmated at $150,000. Shortly thereafter the Tigeri innounced they had purehued Sim- mom tor $13,000 ln cash. Meanwhile, the National league turned active control of the 'orphan' Boston Bravei to Robert Qui*—, retiring general manager of Brooklyn Dodgen. Under the new reorganize- 4 tion plani, Qulnn will serve as president and general manager for the club itockholden. C. F. Adami, former owner, will have nothing to do with the team except that Qulnn, regarded u one of the ihrewdest buildera in the game, will be expected to pay Adami oft for the money he nut into the Bravea. Inside information wu that Qulnn would have 10 yean to pay back Adami' losses, estimated at $325,000. In selling Foxx, one of the most sought-after playen In all baseball, the aged Connie Mack aupplied the final touch ln the dismantling of his famous Athletic team that ruled the iport in 1920 and *30. Jimmy wu the last to go, out-iUying iuch diamond greau ai Mickey Cochrane, Slmmoni, Letfy Grove, George Earnshaw, Rube Walberg, Jimmy Dykei, Mule Haai and Max Bishop. Connie, forced to sell by lack of patronage at Philadelphia and again aUrting all over at 73, realized more than $500,000 from hit lUn. Unless all gueuet of bueball men are bad, Connie wont itop selling. Reliable reporti are that he has sold or will sell Inflelder Eric McNair and Outfielder Roger Cramer to the Red Sox for $200,000 more. Announcement of that uie, which ihould make the Red Sox prohibitive favorite! along with the Tigen to win the 1836 American letgue pennmt, li expected to be made iome time in January. Mack neither would deny nor affirm tuch reporti today. 'PEGS RETURN HOME HAPPY Quality Built op through JJO years of wine making tradition!
