Taking Terry's head roughly in one 'hand, the man said, "Open it up, Come on!" and he gave Terry's neck a twist, - Terry opened his- jaws wide and could just see a roll of cotton wad: ding before it was rammed into his mouth, He gagged and the man laugh- ed. pa "You're lucky, sucker.

The leader and the second man with their backs to him, took off their masks and slipped into the hall also.. The door closed and he heard the lock go- ing home. Terry squirmed in the chair and fin' ally managed to get his feet flat on the floor. Then he tried to stand up and found it an amazingly difficult 'thing to do. After a great deal of effort he was erect, but found it very hard to keep his balance. His only chance of' moving was to jump. He tried and made two oy three small hops, always tottering.

War Brought Trade Boost Port of Halifds -- 500 Vessels Called in 1778-1781 Period HALIFAX. -- "Nin hundred sea: going vessels of an descriptions en- tered the port cf Halifax during the American "War of Independence per- 1778, and Novem- ber, '1781, according to Provincial Ar- chivist D. C. Harvey in his annual report tabled with the Nova Scotia Legislature. The original list of ships, giving the names of the crews and the passen- gers carried, is now in the Archives here. It was published as part of the annual report, "for the light it throws upon -Nova Scotian sea-borne trade during the middle years of the Am. erfcan War of Independence when the headquarters of the British army were in New York and Halifax was North America." An analysis of the list of vessels shows that Lunenburg, Liyerpool, Chester, Yarmouth and Barrington kept up most frequent communications with Halifax. - During the period, Lunenburg ships made 286 round trips, while Liverpool craft followed with 124, "Halifax itself seems to have "done little more than send out an -occa- sional vessel to fish, to transport hay or to carry despatches," the report comments, The list further "illustrates the ex- tent to which prizes of war that had been condemned in the vice-admiralty court were utilized as the nucleus of a shipping fleet in the outlying ports before shipbuilding became an jnduse try in the province. "It. will be seen from this lst that 70 prizes or recaptures were sent out from Halifax to various ports, chief- ly in Nova Scotia and the West In- dies, but also to Quebec, Newfound- land, 'London, Glasgow and even to Madiera, and Azores and Gibraltar. It should be noted also that the first vessel to leave the province on a whaling voyage was a prize ship, the brig 'Jenny' under Stephen Atwood."

'Parts Will Soon Be Conventional Costumes for Women Russell Patterson, Artist and : De- signer, Believes Skirts Will Seem Outlandish in the Near Future 1 HOLLYWOOD---Trousers for women long ago passed the fad stage in the movie colony, but now they have the official blessing of a noted artist and designer, Russell Patterson, of New York, "Men 'used to wear skirts, too," Patterson said. "The time is near at hand when skirts for-women will seem as outlandish as they would now for men." ° .He Pealits women 'soon will wear trousers for every phase of life, formal and. informal.. He said they will be adopted by business women, and presently they will be as cor-- -rect for evening wear in public as they are now for morning wear in private. "Not the present type of 'slacks' " Patterson said. "There. will have to be some fancy work done, But essentially, pants-are going to be the conventional costume for women, and it will be soon."

They look for bad authority to be overthrown and* for the ultimate triumph of the right." This was the conclusion drawn Dr. Emanuel Miller, a director of the Child Guidance- Clinic, at a confer ence held in Londen, England, re: cently to consider how special film entertainment could be provided for children. \ "It is true," Dr. Miller continued, according to the Christian Science. Monitor, "that many children seem to have inborn aggressive or destruc- tive tendencies; that is why they like eventfulness in the cinema expressed in action and speed. But roughhouse stuff must be of the slapstick var jety if it is to please' them; Cruelty "or brutality is not to their taste." This fits in with conclusions rea. ched some time ago by Dr. Cyril Burt, member of the Industrial Re- gearch Board, whose studies in the problems of juvenile delinquency are well known. He is convinced that the youngster who' commits some petty crime and then. tells the judge that he "saw it on the filbs"" is disclos- ing 'only a part of the truth. He may have imitated the methods shown in gangster stories, and to that extent they are to be deprecated, but the motive which impelled him to unlawful activity must -be sought outside the cinema. DEMAND BELIEVABLE TALES The conference heard, that children are interested in nature studies and pictures of animals, 'particularly the familiar ones, especially if the. stories are wrapped up in some adventure or in the activities of explorers. Historical or literary subjects are liked only if they conform to-reality. Strange as it may seem to those ac- customed to associate fairy stories with children, it was said that they are merely bored by anything that is historically unbelievable. There is apparently no difficulty in obtaining a sufficient supply of short films suitable for children, but spe: clal performances for the youngsters, it was revealed, are only given by 10 sto 15 per cent. of the cinemas wong and by them not more than once & week.

BEGINNING TO USE CELLS The dormitory system will be 'done away with gradually, Mr, Nix. - on said. Construction of a new cell block will be started almost imme- diately and the department will pro- vide single cells for prisoners as quickly as possible, i Certain "recommendations in the report have been put into effect. Twenty guards have been added, all outside guards have been armed, adequate supplies of arms and tear gas have been stored. The "Show Place" aspect of - the reformatory- grounds, criticized - by Judge Madden, will not be destroyed, Mr. Nixon raid, ; The Provincial Secretary was fav. orably disposed toward the abolition of the five-man parole board and the "substitution of a fulltime official, as suggested 'by Judgo Madden, but leg- is'ation for the purpose will not be introduced this session. Mr. Nixon said the evidence against rioting 'inmates of the reformatory would be given to'the Wellington Crown Attorney for his action. Judge Madden recommended the prosecution of 22 prisaners who escaped, of three on charges of arson and of others on charges 'of illegal assembly and riot- ing. p WILL KEEP PROMISE He said the proriise of amnesty to escaped prisoners who returned vol * untarily would be kept. Judge Mad- den's. recommendation was for prose- cution of those who were picked up by police or guards. Sergt. Maxwell, one of the 'two senior officers "whoge retirement was advised by Judge Madden, has al- ready beén retired, said Mr. Nixon. He did not say whether Sergt. Ma- guire would be retired.

"If this is true, I must withdraw my gift," Barnard wired Beaumont, "Coveringn male statues with hg leaves , the - usual museum way I heartily agree to, but the female statues must not 'be touched." The 73-year-old winner of many international awards said he. 'quite understood that male figures 'exhi- bited in school rooms should be cov- ered with fig leaves so as not to shock the children."
