J. Manion declared here tonight In-fore his home constituents. If Britain and Trance were beaten, what would become of Canada's export trade, on which much of this country's prosperity depends? He asked It might well be lhat Canada itself would be in danger if Hitler were victor. "That is one reason why, now that we are in the war. wc must do our very best, short of conscription, to aid in winning it," Dr. Manion said. The Conservative Leader stressed necessity of planning now to meet problems of "the after-war", em* phasiiing the need--"If we are to prwerve our present economic syi- tem"--of providing for the Nations youth, l'a most valuable resource He pledged himself "to in unremitting effort to provide op portunlty for our youth, irrespective of their creed, politics, social or economic status, to trail them to occupy their rightful places of service and responn- bility in the community." He promised to appoint a Minister of Youth Welfare for thai purpose who would be responsible for admin nt ratio:*, nf all polinei and projects for the protection and development of youth Such a Minister would be assisted by n voluntary and unpaid Advisory Committee of the b-cst qualified young people's workers who would formulate proposal for employment developments for youth.

Dutch authorities were at a loss to explain the German act since the ship was reported to be carrying wheat from the United jStates destined for the Netherlands. But the Amsterdam newspaper Algemeen Hendelsblad said it had learned the cargo ot the vessel consisted of Canadian wheal and Hour shipped by way of New York and that if this were true it might indicate a reason for the torpedoing. The Burgerdijk was stopped by a submarine at 6:35 p.m. Saturday 15 miles Southwest of Bishop's Rock off the Southwest coast of England. Captain L. J. J. Scrlwanek reported the ship was torpedoed without any reason being given by the submarine commander. Those aboard the vessel, which the owners said included eight passengers as well as thc crew of 33, ■were permitted to take to the boats before the Burgerdijk was sunk. They later were picked up by the Edam, another Holland-Amerika Line freighter, and landed at the Downs, British contraband control port on the Southeast coast of England. The owners' reference to passengers caused confusion, since it was understood in New York that the ■hip had carried none when she sailed from there. Commenting on the sinking, the Liberal newspaper Rotterdamsche Court, which has close connections with shipping circles, said: "There are German submarine commanders who are lacking in • sense of justice and reason, We expect our Government to protest vigorously." The line reported the sinking to the Netherlands Government, which ■will await an official report from Captain Scriwanek before deciding on any action.

"From the time Lord Tweedsmuir landed in Canada as the personal representative of the King of England, the affection of the Canadian people has been his, and at this time of world crisis one recalls his words when, at Quebec, in July of 1936, he greeted President Roosevelt on the occasion of the first official visit to Canada by any President of the United States. At lhat time he said: 'It is my prayer that not by any alliance, political or otherwise, but through thinking the same thoughts and pursuing the same purpose, the Republic of the United Statee and the British Commonwealth may help to restore the shaken liberties of mankind'."

The Treaty was ratified Aug. 13, 1835. The communique said lhat both the Japanese and Dutch Governments had agreed to negotiate a new pact before the Treaty expired Aug. 11. "The sole purpose of. terminating the Treaty." a spokesman said today, "lies in a desire not to be bound by it in case conversations for treaty revision do not reach a conclusion" by Aug. 11. That was the date set for termination. The Treaty, an accord on judicial settlement, arbitration and conciliation, was concluded April 19, 1933, and formally ratified Aug. 13, 1935. The spokesman said "the action has no political significance and does not mean Japan is abrogating the Treaty." '"However, certain provisions relating to the world court, of which Japan is not a member, need technical revision because they are unfair to Japan," he said. "Hence, preparations are under way for negotiations." THE HAGUE, Feb. 12 (AP) - The Netherlands and Japanese governments hope to open arbitration soon on a new treaty to replace the Treaty of Arbitration and Conciliation which Japan has terminated, officials said today. Government circles asserted that no political importance was attached to Tokyo's termination of the Treaty.

Freshens Roll By CARL REINKE C. nadian Preu 8Uff Writer OTTAWA, Feb. 12 (CP)-Cana- dians go to the polls March 28 under a thoroughly revamped elections act, the result of two years' work by the House of Commons elections committee. The biggest change in the new act Is abandonment of the "permanent" voters' list inaugurated with questionable success for the 1935 election. The previous system of creating a mew list by enumeration for each electkn is being restored. There are also many changes regarding the printing and distribution of the voters' lists, limitation of the use of radio, the banning of written pledges by candidates, immediate payment of election staffs (where they formerly might wait months), prohibition of disorderly conduct at election meetings and premature publication of results. The much- argued question of electkn expenses, the feature of extensive arid healed debates in the House of Commons and ln committee remains in the same position It has occupied lor 20 years. The purpose behind the permanent voters list introduced by R. B. Bennett, then prime ministre, was to permit the calling cf an election within four weeks. But the system was discarded after one trial, although somewhat similar systems are in use in Britain and Australia. The 1935 list was established In October, 1934. After revision, the February 1.

Diet Important lo Hair Health By DONNA GRACE Some hair upeclalisU tell us there will come a time when those whose hair is of the too thin type may look forward to1 the day when every one will pos.5e.5s a crown of luxuriant tresses. This Utopia of the bald one will, they say, be realized in some future era. This general improvement they attribute to more intelligent care, consisting of hair and scalp treatments and correct diet. The properties known as phosphorus, silicon, and calcium are important in hair health but the balanced diet is necessary. Cod liver oil, along with the regular menu, will help. We know that we must have -sufficient rest to prevent nervousness, also Inzh air and regular exercise to promote good health. While l.o one knows the real reason for falling hair except in the obvious cases of illness, we do know some weak hair c^n be strengthened and restored to normal growth. One should devote some time to regular treatment, knowing that it takes time before there will be a very noticeable improvement There Bhould be B definite inclination of increased growth within two months and frequently a few weeks' treatment will show a big change. Reliable specialists always will inform a client of the advisability of continuing treatments, but one should not be discouraged If the new growth is not always so strong and heavy as the first hair. Regular brushing with special pomades will always help. -Scalp massage stimulates circulation at the hair roots and thorough shampoos will aid in reconditioning. While we advise one to avoid dryness of the hair, and scalp, we do not advocate too much lubrication. Frequent brushing, light applications, followed by brushing, will brni£ better results than the generous application of lubricants. The fastidious one will not tolerate any suggestion of dandruff. It can be cured easily. Tincture of green soap is advised from time to time when there is excessive oil and there are special tonics for this also. Most of them are made up with an alcohol base.

Sioux Scarberry TODAY'S FASHION Paradise Is Here WHAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR FACE PARALY8IS Is paralysis of one side of the face which comes on in recurrent attacks due to heredity? Has cold anything to do with It? The actual cause of recurrent paralysis of the facial nerve (not due to ear disease) is unknown. Certain people are subject to it, but heredity plays no part. Cold very probably does play a part. It ls often called rheumatic but this means little or nothing. The use of antirheumatic remedies and Iodide of potash, along with electrical treatment of the nerve, are the best treatments but, and this is comforting for victims to know, time cures all of these attacks.

C: "Do you believe that If first cousins marry they take a chance of having mentally unsound or physically deformed children? As I look at it from my study of biology, first cousins Uke no more chance than any other young couple who wish to get married. I find this especially holds true when there never has been ln the history of our ancestors any intermarriage, as in our case." Answer: I assume you are asking mc a very personal question, a question that concerns you. And you have analyzed the elements so far u science can interpret them very well. As you say, first cousins who marry take no more chance of having deformed or mentally unsound children than "any other young j couple", provided they know their own ancestry. It is true that hereditary diseases are likely to be increased geometrically by the marriage of first cousins. On the other hand, wholesome qualities nf people are liable to be increased by such a union Only the contracting parties can decide how important the evidence is. J.

"Subdue him, Cholly, before we get dispossessed." Terry bounded toward Cholly and picked her up ln hla arms, planting a resounding kiss on her rttle mouth. "Have I remembered to ask you to marry me today, Macushia? Cholly was relieved that hli breath was free from the fumes of the Beer Barrel, hla favorite haunt. He didn't give her a chance to answer him. Sitting her down in a chair, he turned, grinning, to Baxter. "Didn't I tell you, Bax, the little Haile is the glamor girl of old Indiana? You two were lust made for each other, I'm thlnkin'. With your beauty, Gorgeous, and his brains, nothing could stop you. You write the shows, Bax.

"Dry up, and give someone else a break," Cholly broke ln, "now that everybody's future is settled." Bax, who hadn't had a chance to speak, sat down on the couch beside Romany. "Didn't you have a part in the junior play last Spring?" "A bit," Romany smiled. She was a vision in Aunt Cissie's dotted Swiss. "About three sides." 1 remembered you by your eyes." the writer nodded. "Didn't I tell you!" Cholly howled. "I told Romany you'd remember the girl with the gray-green eyes." re qt around our digs," Baxter teased. "I don't think anyone ever bothered calling you by name. You were just the Girl With the Eyes." "Is that flattering?" Romany laughed a little self-consciously. Tree's own kind brown eyes twinkled behind his horn rims. "Oh. certainly," He offered her a cigarette. "Otherwise I shouldn't have mentioned it." "Amazing!" Terry sat back, lighting his pipe. 'The technique ci the guy! Look at all the noise I've got to make to get anywhere with a gal. While there that darn continuity writer sits dishing up lines from his new show and you two dames are eating lt up like cream. Well, darlin'," Terry grinned at Cholly, "I remember you as the wench with the pug nose." "I'll kill you." Cholly threatened to throw a little metal ash tray at his head. Terry Jumped up. "Time's a wastin'! Let's go places. I've a table reserved at the Silver Door. This all calls for a celebration." Cholly's heart sank. A Uble at the Silver Door!

The mon ey they would spend would mean so much to Mom and the kids. Terry was as expansive as a new millionaire who had just struck oil. They had a bottle of wine and chicken dinners, dancing between courses. Romany smiled, looking up at Baxter during a lovely waltz. "Thank heaven you're tall. I've an awful time finding dancing partners with my five feet seven inches." "I'm six two," Bax said, dancing surprisingly well for a bookworm. "And I was just thinking I seldom see a girl who meets with my ap- Eroval ln height. I usually have to end over like a weeping willow." "Tell me about your radio show," Romany said then. "Cholly tells me you've sold several." "I've sold five half-hour scripts," Bax replied. Two of my scrlpta have been broadcast from Hollywood, with movie casts. Of course, I've got a kick out of that." 'That's grand! How about your flve-day-a-week ahow?" "It's being cut tomorrow. But I'm holding my breath." "Cut?" Romany lifted an Inquiring eyebrow. "Oh, I forget you're new to the business. That means a record is to be made tomorrow, It'll be cast and put on wax fcr a sponsor to hear. At least I hope a sponsor will hear It. The title ls 'Paradise Is Here.' Like it?" "Intrlquing," Romany smiled "Do I play the lead?" ''Oh, but surely," grinned Bax. "You'll probably be a full fledged leading woman by the time it goes on the air. This is a crazy business." "I've heard that several times today." "You'll find out," Bax sighed. "I still can't believe the Byrd-Crom- well agency won't burn down tomorrow before 'Paradise' is cut." "Look!" Romany stopped. "Terry is going to sing." The orchestra leader motioned for the musical signature and the band stopped playing. When the dancers had returned to their tables, Mack McDermott, master of ceremonies, held up his hand for quiet. "Folks," he beamed, "we've a little extra special attraction for you this evening. An old friend of mine, and ycurs, has dropped in and kindly consented to sing for us. Folks, I give you that famous football streak of lijahtning from Indiana university, Big Terry O'Rourke." The Silver Door shook with cheers. In spite of her heavy heart, Cholly swelled with pride. Was there ever anyone more handsome that Terry, standing there in the spotlight with his upraised hand and his shining' devil-may-care smile? Terry sang two new songs, "Smil- ln' in a Rain Barrel" and "So It Wasn't Love After All." His rich Irish tenor was entirely out of keeping with his big frame. By all rights he should have been a roaring basso. But when Terry O'Rourke sang, even men who swore they despised tenors paused and listened and wanted him to sing again. Women Wept and wanted him to hold them in his arms. Even Cholly had almost forgotten how angry she was with him when the roar of applause had subsided and the crowd reluctantly let him go back to his table. "Oh, Terry," Romany's eyes were misty, "you sing like an angel" "You shouldn't be plugging songs," Bax agreed. "You should be way up in the money. It's a waste of time, and talent." "He will be way up at the top some day." Cholly reached over and touched his cheek. "Because he's going to work hard and climb there." "For you, Macushia," Terry leaned toward her, his eyes deep with longing. "I'd crawl up there* on broken glass." Then, flushed with success and the applause that Hill rang In his cars, his mood changed, "Waiter!" He raised his hand "Another bottle of wine!" The light left Cholly's eyes and Romany saw them cloud with disappointment and worry. Baxter saw, too, and tactfully asked Charlotte to dance with him.

Left alone with Terry, Romany had to bite her tongue to keep from telling him that he was a fool. "I don't believe you approve of me," Terry suggested. "Don't you?" Romany shrugged "That's too bad. I would approve of you if you had the horse sense you were born with. Terry O'Rourke. But I don't like to see you break the heart of a girl like Cholly. Anybody but Cholly." "She's an angel." Terry pushed back his glass of wine. "And I'm not worth one little heartache. She ought to kick me out." "I think so, too." Romany smiled to take away the sting. "But I wouldn't know why she hasn't because I've never been in love." "When you do fall in love." Terry Sredicted, "you'll be just as bad. r worse." Rcmany's answer was interrupted when Cholly and Bax came back to the table, "How'd you like to enme down to the agency and sit around while my records are being made tomorrow?" Bax asked R^.manv while they were dancing later. "Scak up some atmosphere and sort of learn the ropes. You can watch the auditions and learn how it's done " Romany accepted the invitation with deep gratitude. "I d:n't know much about radio," Baxter then said modestly, "but what I do know I'll be very glad to teach you Maybe I can help a little with your reading, if you'd like to work on some scripts with me." (To Be Continued Information ... Let Newspapers Teach Children By Garry Cleveland Myen, Ph. D. Our newspapers of today carry the history lessons of tomorrow, Newi items concerning international relations, our federal, state and local government, and the personalities Tdentified with them; articles about educational progress, about advances in scientific knowledge, about amazing developments of applied science, and the concerted community efforts at social betterment, together with information about leaders in these fields, appearing in our dally papers, are vital Items in the history of mankind. The wonder Is that so few parent* and teachers attempt at home and school to lead children to realize the richness of live Information to be obtained from the dally newspaper. Our children will, as a rule, respond to the happenings they personally witness, or read about in ihe paper, in accordance with their home and school education. HELP IN GEOGRAPHY The geography lesson at school may be dull. Let the teacher or parent enliven It with the aid of the day's paper, setting the pupils to find on the map the places from which come the more important news dispatches. To read the newspaper intelligently we heed to know a great deal of place geography. The boy or girl who complains that geography Is worth nothing can be convinced in" a minute of Its usefulness by a skilful parent, or teacher, with the aid of a newspaper. Your boy may hat spelling and can see no sense In learning to spell. Ask him if he can find a misspelled word in the morning or evening newspaper. Then he will see that the people engaged in making this paper must be able to spell. If he hates to write compositions, let him know of the experience of thc people who write the news columns. Most any pupil can find good samples of English on the editorial page of a newspaper, and they likely will be more interesting than any in their textbooks, written years ago. ARITHMETIC PROBLEMS And that arithmetic! Pick up today's paper. Dad. and write out a numbor of fascinating problems for your boy or girl based on the news of the day. Fractions, usually dry, can be moistened by turning to the market page in a newspaper. In the industrial news are abundant Interesting figures to train children at home and school in reading and writing large numbers. If I were teaching again in the upper elementary grades or high school. I should work out with my students many lessons from the newspaper. SOLVING PARENT PR0BLEM8 Q. Recently I administered the first bodily pain to my little girl, just beginning to walk. I am training her to keep away from the gas Move. Right after I punish her she weeps with great feeling and wants me to caress her. I do. Is this right? A. No. Properly you gave this tot pain on purpose to connect the pain with the object she shall always avoid. Follow it with pleasure and you lessen the effect of the punishment. Besides, you suggest to her that it was a matter of feeling, that now you are making up to her for having hurt her. oil at night.

Talks on Hair Annoy lhe Men By CAROLINE CHATFIELD j Yesterday a fond mother waj raking over the coals her bachelor, sen for having checked out on her. : leaving her to entertain some call- j ers the evening before. "Now you didn't have a business 1 engagement, did you?" she ajked 1 testily. j "No I didn't," he replied, "but I I had listened to all the hair talk 1 could take at one sitting. Why is I it you women think we men are interested in hair; when and where you got your permanents. how j much they cost end how long they I last? Why is It that whenever a I bunch of women get together they [ talk about hair?' It isn't true," said hli mother, "Oh, yes It is. You ask any married man and he will tell you the ssme thing: let a bunch of womtn gel together and ln threa minutes ihcy will be on the subject of hair, I've always heard that when women swarmed they discussed men. ho.v-friends and husbands. Bui. believe me, when the men are around its hair, hair, hair. The poor husbands have to take it but we bach- elors don'L" Hearing that stiff little tiff between mother and son, I made up my mind to enquire into the subject. So 1 called up a model husband and said to him, "I want you to clear up a little matter for me. What do y^ur wife's friends talk about when they get together in your llvtng room?" ' They talk about hair principally Its the most disgusting thing in lhe world. If you'd break It up you'd be doing us men a great service " "Thai's funny," I uld as if I had never heard of the subject men- U ned Why is IP" "Frankly," he replied, "I think it's Ik cause they have nothing else to talk about, sou know a woman can nid stand a pause in the conversation and she will talk whether or not she has anything to say " Now I aak y u. gentle reader, if that's not ironical' The pr*>i gals (•pend a goodly proportion oi their time and their pocketbook contents in beauty shops, trying to be beautiful for the men, and, like all lhe rest of the human race, they talk about what they are dclng; either to call attention to good results, rr to alibi for poor results, and the men are Irritated with-them to the point of infuriation.

Lincoln Day Is Celebrated, U.S. Wa*aSHINGTON, Feb. 12 (AP) - Republican notables celebrated Lincoln Day today with speeches in many cities extolling- the, Civil War President and, usually, condemning the New Deal. The orators included two avowed candidates for th* party's presidential nomination, Thomai F, Dewey of New York and Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, and while they refrained from pressing their candidacies, their expressions on current problems were searched wilh care by political observers. Taft, at Greensboro, N.C., asserted that "it the New Deal were licenced to proceed in the 1940 elections," forces would be unloosed which would carry the nation inevitably to "a modern streamlined totalitarian dictatorship." From Dewey, at Portland, Ore., came a statement that the last seven years had been a "constant erosion of capital." A capital outlay of (36,000,000,000 would have been necessary to offset wear and tear on Industrial plants and equipment, he asserted, while only $29,- 000,000,000 had actually been spent for this purpose. The New Deal, he added, totally fails to recognize this factor.

R, Attree, Courageous Blind Horse Still jumps WINNIPEG, (CP). - With an understanding mistress and an equine determination, Elmer Gantry thoroughbred jumping horse, still carries on after going blind five years ago, according to his owner, Miss Eleanor Gctzendancer of Bar- rington. 111. Despite his blindness, Gantry still gallops with other horses over lhc open Prairie, leans four-foot hardies at shows ana plays in motion pictures. "It was Gantry's own determination to go on living." Miss Getzen- dancer told interviewers here "The only thing I take credit for is understanding that" After he went blind, Gantry "refused to believe his jumping days were over." the horse's patient owner added. "I could see him straining to get out with the other horses. Then I began to take him out with them. When he heard them take a jump, he started rearing and lunging and acting badly. "One day when I tried to make him walk into a ditch, hc jumped over it in scorn. So I realized hc had to go on with his jumping and, after that, It was just a practical problem." Miss Gctzendancer lets the sightless animal feel the height of the jumps before taking them and io perfectly does he leap it is hard to believe he cannot see. His blindness is evident, however, when the hurdle is taken away and Gantry jumps over a barrier that ls not there. She employs a specail code of four commands in taking Gantry over the obstacles "All right," which means he can go Into a full gallop; "Come on," when he is approaching a jump; "Ready," for him to get set for thc leap; and "Hup" for over. j MANION PAYS TRIBUTE TO LORD TWEEDSMUIR FORT WILLIAM.

MKMBEH Oh THL CANADIAN MESS AND THE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1940. A BRIGHT FLAME EXPIRES The passing of Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor General of Canada, will evoke a universal tribute of sorrow throughout the Dominion. In practically every home in Canada where there exists appreciation of these matters, there will be a sense of loss. It. is only stating the literal truth to say that Lord Tweedsmuir, man of the people, a man whose fine and homely character stood out, was taken to the hearts of the Canadian people as has been no other Governor General. Such a life of industry was his, a life so monumental in its quiet and meritorious accomplishments that it was a bright example. Sixty published works; an administrative experience as secretary to Proconsul Milner in Egypt; a successful career as a publisher; a term in the Mother of Parliaments representing the Scottish Universities—these are major facts from a career notable before plain John Buchan was singled out to be his Monarch's representative in the Canadian scheme of Government. In Canada Lord Tweedsmuir was easily the most travelled of our Governors General. Though he paid only one visit to this Province, and on that occasion was not routed through this territory! he made many excursions, and even visited the Arctic fringe. His unassuming character, his homely philosophy, his enormous industry, his leadership in the domain of letters, in addition to his official qualifications in political experience, endeared him to the Canadian people. There is not much doubt, also, that Lord Tweedsmuir's popularity crossed the Canadian border, and among the accomplishments of his term of office in perhaps a better appreciation of the British democracy among our American cousins. Lord Tweedsmuir's preferment for the purpose of acting as the deputy of his Sovereign in Canada's system of government, crowned a life already exceptionally useful and successful. It had the effect of placing him where he would be an inspirational figure. A bright flame, by unhappy accident, has burned out. But something of that intense flame will live in other flames that it has lighted. WINTER IS NO TIME FOR A FIRE Good resolutions are timely at any time of year. New Year's Day should not have any monopoly of them. While in this district the chief danger from fires is in the Summer, when so many people are scattered about thc country using or in association with inflammable materials, the fact that Winter has its own fire hazards is attested by the nurnlacr nf fires, mostly incipient ones, that do occur. At least one fire reported in the West Kootenay in the last few weeks originated from a cardblard carton being used as a container for hot ashes, A recent holocaust occurring in an American city was credited to a package of hot ashes being dropped down a rubbish chute. Over-heated stovepipes are a frequent cause of fires in either Winter or Summer. One may not always remember to turn a damper or shut a draft, but he can lessen the liability to such an oversight having disastrous consequences by seeing that any pipe-holes in his residence are protected with concrete—as required in building regulations anywhere. Of all causes of fire in residential areas, carelessness with ashes is probably first. Piling ashes against an outbuilding or a fence is courting trouble. In the distant past there have been fires in Nelson from this cause. Wooden box containers for ashes make good kindling if live embers touch them. Floors can be ignited if hot coals can get on them— something.that can happen if there is not proper insulation under the Move or heater. Removing the cap from the front of an old-fashioned heater to create a draft may also set a fire—perhaps from a dropping coal, perhaps to a child's clothing brushing against it. These things have happened. An electric heater has no intelligence. It relies on Its owner not to place it where it can ignite curtains, clothing, or furniture. The same applies to an electric iron. In at least one fire in Nelson's history, an electric iron came under suspicion. Plenty of other situations containing elements of danger might lie mentioned—the fireplace without a screen, the heater without a screen, the lighted rigarette that may roll off a desk or counter, the smoking-in-bed practice- but the possibilities are endless. One precaution everyone can take, however. It is to make sure that no permanent condition inviting fire is allowed to persist. WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING TRUE ENOUGH Tn .?.

NELSON B. C.-TUESDAY MORNINQ. FEB. Ii, 1940, Mention has ba*en made that a few gulls were among the birds of the Arctic which spent the Winter there. The majority ot these do spread out and move somewhat to the South, but still the Glaucous, Iceland, Ivory and Ross' gulls remain ln considerable numbers far to the North of civilised areas. The Glaucous and Iceland are similar ln appearance. The adults are like Herring lulls with, pure white instead of black primaries. The Glaucous gull ranks In size with the Great Black-backed gull, twenty-nine Inches long, while the Iceland Is a sort of smaller edition, VORY GULL thc size of a Herring gull and twenty-four inches long. The adults of these two are rare on the Great Lakea. Usually it is, the second year birds which we see. These are pure white. The first year birds have a creamy or buff cast to the plumage and pale brown markings. The Glaucous gull has become a regular but rare Winter visitor to Lake Ontario, for out of the thousands nf gulls Wintering here, a few Glaucous are seen each Winter. The Iceland gull is much rarer this far South, there being only occasional records for Lake Ontario. These two are found In Winter on the Atlantic coast from Southern Greenland to Long Island. The Ivory gull Is even more an Arctic bird than the Glaucous or Iceland. In Winter it comes down to Labrador and British Columbia. On the Great Lakea It is a straggler with only a very few records. It is a bird of the open water, even more than most gulls, and so it ls possible that some are overlooked. Mclywralth, in the "Birds of Ontario," speaks of a specimen which some fishermen obtained for him on one of their trips far out from land. And they told him they had seen others IVORY 18 SMALLER The Ivory is a smaller gull than the Herring and Iceland, varying from about fifteen to nineteen inches. It appears as smaller than a Ring-billed gull and its flight is more buoyant, being like that of the Bortaparte's gull. This seems to be true of gulls, that the smaller the size the airier the flight. The Iceland gull has flesh-colored feet. Those of the Ivy gull are black. Ross' gull is a truly Arctic bird. It nests in Siberia and in Winter migrates Eastward, from Alaska to Greenland. Nowhere is it common and comparatively little is known about it. It is the smallest North AmcricEfn gull and is distinctive in having a wedge-shaped tail. In the Winter it loses the black ring that is around its nock, and the rosy suffusion on the abdomen is paler. The Ross' gull presents a striking contrast to thc Sabin's gull. This small gull Ls another Arctic nester, but in Winter, migrates South by both coasts and Winters oft the coast of Peru. It is rare inland. There is but one record for Ontario.

Points are scored on a board of triangular shape, containing three sets of holes of sixty each with the sixty-first, or game hole. Each player is furnished with pegs, and I the points are counted in the usual ' manner. Three hand cribbage is subject to the same laws as two hand game. R.
