Follow Technique: of Studying How Criminals - Operate Corporal John Timmerman of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police an- nounced here recently police Iden. tification methods throughout Can- ada have been changed materially through adoption of an elaborate new system, the modus operandi system, ai . Gives Clue To Identity Corp. Timmerman said the new system deals largely with the way criminals operate.' Most cyiminals specialize and use a definite tech-* nique jn their crimes, which under this system of co-relating police in. formation would provide a clue to the criminal's identity when a crime is committeed-in -a-pertain way. The new system' provided also for co-operation "of police forces throughout the country, so that municipal, provincial and federal police can work in unison. pd The Duke of Windsor's private chaufieur "for eighteen years, George Ladbrook, the same one _who whizzed Mrs. Simpson across France omedinggly after the ab- dication, is npwia doorman for a swank London 'night club. Pruning Trees 'Requires Care . . Must Be Done Properly To In- sure Right Development To insure proper development and. vigorous growth of the tree, pruning must be carefully and properly done. All dead, bruised and broken roots are removed with a sharp knife or pruning shears. Clean cuts 'will heal rapidly, while ragged cuts heal slowly and may "provide an entrance place for in- fection. The top of the tree is ¢ut back to balance the root sys- tem; that is, enough of the bran- ches are cut back or entirely re- moved to compensate for the loss of roots when the tree was dug. Thus the loss of moisture by transpiration through the leaves. is |- kept in proportion to the intake of raoisture through the roots, pre- venting a too-rapid drying out of the top of the plant. The centre stem of the tree, known as the leader, is retained, but if the tree is too tall for the number of side branches it may be topped a lit- tle. From one-third to one-half of the length of the side branches is cut back. In pruning, it is kept in mind that the completed tree should present a pyramidial ghape. } J JE tt A faultfinder is sure of recom- pense in kind. U. S. War Relic Viewed MGR pa rad 3 By R.C.M.P.

THE MILLJONS There is little doubt among Canadian sportsmen that the sport of fishing is about the most popular outdoor pastime in the Dominion, and this is very true of the Provincé of Ontario in parti. © cular, where it leads most sports by a- large margin of popularity. PREMIER FISHERMAN And speaking of the popularity of fishing, Outario's active Pre. mier Mitchell Hepburn is quite an enthusiastic fisherman when polis tics and government matters spare him the odd few moments. But "recently the pressure of business forced the province's government leader to decline an invitation to go pickerel fishing on Lake Nipis- sing with a fishing party arranged by Hon, Harry C. Nixon, Ontario _.Games and Fisheries Minister, In. stead, Premicr Hepburn angled with government problems while the others went fishing. The par- ty included: Leopold Macaulay (Con. York South) and his wife; Mrs. Nixon; Lionel Conacher (Lib, Toronto-Bracondale), former hoc- key star of the National Hockey League, and Mrs. Conacher. ---- BIG HUNTING A huge bald cagle was scen fly- ing over Meaford, Ontario, the other day and so rare is this sight. in this part of Canada that the whole Meaford - Natural History Club turned out in goodly numbers" to spend the weck-end covering this Georgian Bay district to find if the Aarge bird had decided to nest in these parts of Ontario, J London Called Museum Piece London, in the view of Archi. tect Frank Lloyd Wright, is a mu- scum picee, and as a modern city is "Yiet dit Tor human habitation."
