PEN DOESN'T PAY: The Winni- peg Freo Press asks why it is that a country this size, population al . most, 12,000,000, can't boast at least 120 first-rate authors, one to every 100,000 Canadian people. Reason is, of course, that an author in order to be "first-rate" must devote his entire time to his art, which-means - the products of his' pen must earn him enough to live on. Easier said than done. So much easier, in fact, that we have only one poet, two or three novelists in the entire Dom- inion, who are able to live solely by their independent literary work.

It is rumored that they are exerting pressure on the larger newspapers to go slow on the scare headlines, and play up our forth- * coming election, and such, instead. THE WEEK'S QUESTION:.

At least the following account - seems to prove something along these lines. : - Tom Mackay, drum major of the Highland Pipe Band- in Sydney, Australia, claims he can charm fish "with his bagpipe, and other mem- bers of the band back up his boast. When the pipers were fishing recently at Kildare" none got a bite until Mackay struck up on his pipes. . After that, fish began to bite readily, and within an hour and a half the men had landed 20 fish, Cincluding -one- weighing--50-- pounds.
