- Railway News : .Quebee,--Probably the most fra. gile and interesting consignment yet given into the keeping of the Do. minion Express Company is one which will come shortly gn a Cana. dian Pacific Steamships freighter from London, Two tiny baby kangaroos are to be passengers on the ship and will brave the North Atlantic on their long journey from the London Zoo to Toronto which is their ultimate destination, e tiny passengers are comin, over with the compliments of the London Zoo authorities who were indebted to Toronto last season for the addition of two very young Canadian beavers to their collection. The kangaroos will be accom- panied by a special attendant, who will strive to do his best for the little tots and land .them in good condition, ------ a Port Arthur, -- The International Union of Hungry Hoboes, in so far as its mem Fon affects Port Arthur and Fort William will suffer a depletement in its ranks this sum- mer, At Navilus the first station east of Port Arthur, there are lo- cated a couple of plain clothes policemen who are gathering the bos into the long arms of the law. One day the officers brought seven knights of the road into Port Arthur, Hunting was good during next day, too, when a party of nine arrived on Number One to keep the others com- pany. In Port Arthur Police Court each was fined $20 or one month in prison. They were taken to the jail, When a bo dreps off a freight at Navilus he is least Expecting to meet a guardian of the law, That is why it is stated the Canadian Pacific Railway has put constables there to gather in the members of the ride-for-nothing clan. Vancouver.--The Canadian Pacific Railway has inaugurated its new "Empress Special" train service be- tween this city and Chicago. Little more than an hour after the "Em- press of Asia" arrived the special train pulled out for the east, carry- ing about fifty Jassengers, who took advantage of the new service. The schedule of the train calls for the delivery of the passengers in Chi- eago in seventy-two hours and those who are going to the Atlantic will be able to catch their boats there for the Old Country in quicker time than ever before. The equipment of the special consisted of two stand. ard sleepers, an observation, and a baggage car. Extra equipment was also attached to the Imperial Lim- ited to accommodate the large num- ber of passengers who crossed the continent by the All-Canadian route, Toronto.--D. C. Coleman," vice- president of the western lines, Cana- dian Pacific Railway, and just back from a tour to the coast, speaks optimistically of conditions in Brit- ish Columbia. "General business in the west is improving," he continued. "There is 8 return of confidence since the seeding has been done, and the re- sult has been, not a marked, but a very steady improvement. "British Columbia is rapidly forg- ing ahead. Although the domestic market for timber is not up to nor- mal, the increase in export to for- eign countries is encouraging. The mining industry is going full blast. Smelters are in operation every- where in the mining districts, de. spite the low price copper. More an seven i fon bushels of Sheat were ship, rom Vietoria during the'past year. Three-fifths of this went to Great Britain, and the bal- ance was shipped to the Orient. ---- NOT FOR THE FLESHY Detroit Free Press: "I don't see why you're so anxious to reduce your weight." "You dont. Well did you ever see a fat woman who looked well in one of the present style bathing suits? Toronto Mail and Empire: Lloyd George's private secretaries, about a dozen, and a large staff, cost Britain £33,000 yearly. It is by this system that he is able to keep thoroughly in touch with a multitude of political and economic affairs. The concen- tration of authority around the Prime Minister by this method is only big corporation practice. NO JOY LEFT FOR HIM Detroit Free Press: "Brown shot the course in 79 yesterday." "I'm sorry." "You're sorry? Why?" "From now on he's doomed to be off his game for the rest of his life." PUTTING HER HAIR UP, New York Globe: The Woman met a young, bobbed haired friend of hers on the street, and they stood for a moment talking, The younger wo- man had moved "uptown," and they had not seen one another for some time. Suddenly the Woman peered under the girl's hat! Yes, she was right; that scraggly, uneven mass that hung over the girl's ears could mean only on thing. "Why, Frances!" she sald, in sur- prise. "You are getting conventional, First you move uptown and then you let your hair grow out, Going to get married?" The girl shook her head. "No, but I've decided to let my hair grow, You see my little kid sister has just put 'her hair up. She was terribly thrill- ed over it, and I cn't tell you how sweet it looks, pi .d on the top of her little head. And you see, I've never had my hair up. I cut it off when I was sixteen, before mother would let me do it up. And now I'm twenty and I've never worn a hairpin, I want to see what it looks like," The Woman laughed. "Oh, I'll probably cut it off again Just as soon as I've had it long a while," she sald. "But I want my hair UP!" WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THEM? Hamilton Herald: A Chilean writer has put the question. 'Who are the twelve greatest women in the United States?" a The New York Times suggests these twelve: Geraldine Farrar, ith Wharton, Carrie Chapman Catt, Molla Mallory, Alice Paul, Ida Tar- bell, Jane Addams, Amy Lowell, Minnie Maddern Fiske, M. Carey Thomas, Mary Pickford, Agnes Rep- ylier. Mme. De Stael once asked Napo- leon, who, in his opinion, was the greatest woman in France, and was mortified when he replied, 'The mother of the greatest number of children." By a singular coincidence it hap- pens that not one of the women nem- ed by the New York Times is a mother, although six of them are married, DAUGHERTY AND $1,000,000 New York World: After a confer- ence Wednesday with President Harding, Mr. Daugherty said to the correspondents at the White House: "You can say that there was never a time when I would have given 30 cents to get the office of Attorney General, but that I wouldn't take $1,000,000 for it now." It is not usual for an Attorney General of the United States to place money value on that great office, but | Mr. Daugherty is privileged to make] his own estimate in terms that he can best understand. The question before the country, however, is not whether the office is worth more than $1,000,000 to Mr. Daugherty, but whe- ther it is worth more than $1,000,000 to certain other persons to have Mr. Daugherty in the office of Attorney General at this time. That was the substance of the Johnson-Woodruff charges which were made publicly on the floor of the House. It was for the purpose of making a quasi-judicial determina- tion of this issue that they introduced a resolution for an investigation of the Department of Justice in rela- tion to certain alleged war frauds, NEWSPAPER MISTAKES Youth's Companion: In the early eighties the New York Tribune got out a political supplement in which the last syllable of Lord Macaulay's name was spelled "ley" instead of "lay." Whitelaw Reid, then editor of the Tribune, noticed the error. He had the presses stopped, the error corrected and a new page sterotyped; and then he charged to the proof reader the cost of the paper that had already been printed--$12.50. At another time this sentence, writ- ten by the foreign news editor, ap- peared at the head of a column: "In our cable dispatches herewith given the tendencies of the Oriental trou- bles is cited." The clipping soon appeared on a bulletin board, pasted to a sheet of paper on which Mr. Reid had written: "A verb should agree with its nominative in number, or there should be a disagreement between the writer and his salary. For further particulars inquire of the cashier Monday." NOTHING LIKE PRINCIPLE Woodstock Sentinel-Review:. Lind- say Crawford, who is described as the president of the Self-Determination for Ireland League of Canada, wants the Governor-G 1 to convey to the British Government the feeling of indignation which has been aroused upon the right of the Irish people to govern themselves without any inter- OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1922 W A SQUARE DEAL IN SILESIA New Orleans Times-Picayune: If the maxim, 'He who seeks 'equity must do equity" had been strickly applied in this Upper Silesia case, Germany's claims might have been barred from the court, Prussia seized and held Silesia by force, ig- noring the equities and wishes of its people, The present readjustments rights that historic wrong insofar as it can be righted this time, The Germans under it, are given the square deal so long denied by the Prussian autocracy to its involuntary subjects in Silesia, ' OROOKS AT ATLANTIC CITY New York Correspondent: While in Atlantic City I saw one of the best known writers of the underworld life and a man who is per lly ac- MEAN TRICK Ray--What's the trouble between you and Smith? Jay--Trouble! Why, when I ar- rived in town weary from travel and dying for a drink, I asked him to recommend me toa big-hearted doc- tor with: some prescription blanks, And he sent me to an osteopath,-- "Topics of the Day" Films, OFF TO A BAD START E. W. Howe's Monthly: I shall not care for the World's Fair in 1026 at Philadelphia. The men at the head of it have decided on the name "Sesqui-Centennial," That's a bad name for a big show. [People do not know what the word means; it is not euphonious, and looks like the devil in print. Having done ill in lecting a name, the managers will quainted with hundreds of profes- sional crooks. "The boardwalk is the place," he said, 'where crooks come for a day or so to mingle with respectability. 1 met ten celebrated criminals in an hour's stroll this morning. There is an unwritten agreement that they will not ply their art while here," Don Marquis, in New York Sun: This republic has become, we are reliably informed, a democracy . .., and we have always been glad that we were told about it being a demo- cracy, as otherwise we might not have known it, probably do ill in other details. North (Continued from page 2x) now. So are you, But I know from past experience that the outside will grow more alluring as time passes. You'll get lonesome -for civilization, It's the most natural thing in the world, And when we go out to mix with our fellow humans we want Wo meet thec on terms of worldly equal- ity. Which is to say with good clothes on, and a fat bank roll in our pocket. And last, but not least, old girl, while 1 love to loaf, I can only loaf about so long in contentment, Sabe? I've got to be doing something; whether it was profitable or not has never mat- tered, just so it was action," "I sabe, as you call it," Hazel smiled. "Of course I do, Only lazy people like to loaf all the time, I love this place, and we might stay here for years and be satisfied, But--" "But we'd be better satisfied to stay if we knew that we could leave it whenever we wanted to," he inter. rupted, "That's the psychology of the human animal ,all right, We don't like to be coerced, even by circumstances." "If you made a lot of money mining, we could travel--one could do lots of things," she reflected, "I don't think I'd want t olive in a city again, But it would be nice to go there, some- times," "Yes, dear girl, it would," Bill agreed. "With a chum to help you en- joy things. We can do things together that I couldn't do alone, and you couldn't do alone, Remains only to get the wherewithal, And since I know how to manage that with a minimum amount of effort, I'd like to be about it before somebody else gets ahead of me. Though there's small chance of that," "We'll be partners," sald she, "How will we divide the profits, Billum?" "We'll split even," he declared. "That is, I'll make the money, and you'll spend it." They chuckled over this conceit, and as the dusk closed in slowly they fell to planning the details, Hazel lit the lamp, and in its yellow glow pored over maps while Bill idly sketched their route on a sheet of paper. His objective lay east of the head of the Naas proper, where amid a wild tangle of mountains and mountain torrents three turbulent rivers, the Stikine, the Skeena and the Naas, took their rise. A God-forsaken region, he told her, where few white men had penetrated. The peaks flirted with the clouds, and their sides were scarred with glaciers. A lonesome, brooding land, the home. of a vast and seldom broken silence. "But there's all kinds of game and fur in there," Bill remarked thought- fully. "And gold. Still, it's a fierce country for a man to take his best girl into, I don't know whether I ought to tackle it," "We could'nt be more isolated than we are here," Hasel argued, "if we were in the Arctic, Look at that poor woman at Pelt House, Three babies born since she saw a doctor or another woman of her own color! What's a winter by ourselves compared to that. And she did't think it so great a hardship, Don't you worry about me, Mr. Bill, I think it will be fun, I'm a real ploneer at heart, The wild places look good to me--when you're along." She received her due reward for that, and then, the long twilight hay- ing brought the hour to a laten that manifested {itself by sundry yawns on their part, they went to bed. With breakfast over, Bill put a com- pass in his pocket, after having ground his axe blade to a keen edge. "Come on," said he, then; "I'm go- ing to transact some important busi- ness." "What is it?" she promptly demand- ed with much curiosity, "This domicile of ours, girl," he told her, while he led the way through the surrounding timber, "is ours only by grace of the wilderness, It's built on unsurveyed goernment land -- land that I have no more legal claim to than any passing trapper, But I'm going to remedy that. I'm going to formally stake a hundred and sixty acres of this and apply for its pur- chase, Then we'll have cinch on our home. We'll always have a refuge to fly to, no matter where we go." She nodded appreciation of this, The cabin in the clearing stood for some of those moment sthat always loom large and unforgettable in every wom- an's experience, She had come there once in hot, shamed anger, anr she had come again as a bride, It was the handiwork of a man she loved with a passion that sometimes startled her by its intensity, Jut the mere possibiity of that place being given over to others roused in her a pang of resentment. It was theirs, hers and Bill's, and, being a woman, she viewed its possession jealously.
