THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1931 That is which 'is and naught can The. facts though it be passing Sng Oli Mother Nature. § Several times when out with his master, Flip the Terrier had dis- covered queer mounds of sand which had aroused Lis curiosity because they had entrances open- ing 'level with the ground, and when he sniffed at those entrances he smelled Rat: It it wasn't Rat smell it was something wery like it. It wasn't just the scent that Robber the Rat used to leave around Farmer Brown's barn, hut It was enough like it to get Flip very ihuch excited, for he dearly loves to hunt Rats. He would bark and dig furiously, but his master never would wait for him, and so he "would have to give up and hurry on. "Sometime I will come back all by myself,' he would say. 'Yes, sir, that is what I will do. Then If there are any Rats in oue cf these mounds they better look out." So'tt happened that just at dusk »ne evening Flip remembered those mounds and decided that as the nearest one was not far away, this would be a good time to pay a visit there. Farmer Brown's Boy was off somewhere and Flip had nothing in particular to do. He had &lept through the heat of the day and was beginning to long for excitement. So, when no one at the 'ranch was looking he slipped away and trotted straight over to the nearest mound. "I'll approach very quietly," thought Flip. "Perhaps I may sur- prise one of those Rats outside. If I do he'll never know what hap- pened to him. No, sir, he never will, I'll catch him and shake him to death before he can as much as squeak." So Flip approached the big mound very slowly and carefully. As he drew near he thought he sav two or three forms moving For a moment or two the rat sat in his doorway, looking out as if a bit suspicious. about outside that mound. He quivered all over with excitement. He crept up back of that mound so that it would '~ hatwe moving forms and himself.

This was the objective of the Passenger Trafic Officials of the Canadian Pacific Railway when they planned the new folder for 1981, That they reached their ob- jective is attested by the numerous congratulatory comments by the travelling public and railroad offi- cials generally. The new time table, which was issued on April 26th, constitutes a radical departure and improvement in its form. Opening the old time table was a task which required space, patience, and the gemeral arm movements of an accordion player. The new time table has only one fold, and in reality is a compact and concise book, easily carried and easily understood. Page one of the folder supplies the key to the whole publication, and plainly indicates where any de- sired information is to be found. It tells how to locate stations, how to determine the days on which trains run, explains the signs, and gives important and vital informa- tion on the consist of trains. The Canadian Pacific Passenger Traffic Officials felt that finding train schedule, another new depart- was an extremely difficult task for the ordinary traveller, and the new folder reflects their decision to make this task much more simple. Page one therefore, supplies a page key to the Trans-continental sched- ules, to the Eastern Canada and Western Canada schedules, local lines in the respective provinces, and allied and connecting rail ser- vices. It supplies a similar key to the Canadian Pacific Steamships services on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and to the ship services on the Great Lakes, the Bay of Fundy, and the British Columbia Coast and Alaska service. The index also supplies a comprehensive guide to information on matters of import- ance to travellers such as baggage, express, customs, dining cars. freight, hotels and bungalow camps, sleeping cars, and telegraphs. There are approximately 3,680 agency and non-agency stations, or stopping places for trains shown in the in- dex, and the stupendous character of the information ¢ontained in the folder can be appreciated when fit is understood that on week days in mid-summer, there are 618 trains moving, and 17,723 train stops made each day. The folder also contains condensed tables giving in- formation on 83 steamship and rail lines with which the Canadian Pacl- fic has connections. Following the index the folder shows the schedules of the trans- continental trains, after which ap- pear the schedules of services by provinces, commencing in Nova Scotia on the Atlantic Coast, and moving Westward to British Colum- bia on the Pacific coast. In each train schedult, another new depart- ure will greatly facilitate the read- ing of the time table. Where form- erly the explanations of the differ- ent signs were only printed two or three times in each folder, they now appear in the new folder at the foot of each page.' This convenience is one which will make it unnecessary for passengers to search through the folder for translations of signs, all of which are of major import- ance, Under the former general prac- tice in making up the time table, name of the Company's passenger and Freight officers in each city ap- peared only in the sections devoted to their respective departments. In the new folder the names of these officers appear under one heading, and it is therefore much more easy he prepared to make a rush around it and grab the nearest Rat. Just then out of a hole more than two feet from him was poked a head. It looked like the head of a Rat and yet it did't. It was longer than the head of any Rat Flip had ever seen,and never had he seen a member of Robber's family with such long whiskers or such big eyes that seemed to be popping right out. Then, too, the color of that head wasn't right. It was rather yellowish, white around the nose and on the throat and whitish around the eyes and ears. All this Flip saw without really thinking anything about it. How- ever, he kept still, hoping that this Rat would come wholly out. - For a moment or two the Rat sat in his doorway looking out as it a bit suspicious. Then he came wholly out and Flip prepared for a rush. But instead of rushing, Flip just stood still right where hie was and stared. This was the strangest To begin with, the color was all wrong, It was buff or yellowish, with a white line across the hips. The legs and feet were white, beautiful snowy white. The white band across the hip on each side was continued down each side of a long tail for some distance, and this tail, in- stead of being almost bare, like Robber the Rat, was covered with hair, It was black on the upper and lower sides and ended in a tuft' of pure white. Tastead of a rou, coat, such as Loh- rs takes no care of, the stranger wore a fine, silky coat. In from the out- ph with fur. This, however, Flip didn't see. All this was surprising enough, but almost at once Flip received another great surprise.

The folder contains a series of concise and comprehensive maps which clearly indicate the country through which the different lines run. These maps are so placed in the folder as to make it easy for the passenger to glance at his train schedule and then at the map, with- out searching through the pages. Space is devoted to advertising the different services of the Canadian Pacific, such as the hotels, bunga- low camps, and other train, hotel and recreational facilities in which the public are are widely 1 Interested, MANITOBA LEADS IN MUSICAL EDUGATION Three Hundred High School Boys and Girls Playing on One Platform, Impres- sive Sight (By The Canadian Press) Winnipeg Man., May 13--*'With- in recent days this city, for the first time in any province, assembled on one platform 300 high school boys and girls gathered from all of Man- itoba, playing under one baton,' says The Freen Press. 'The enthu- siasm of a teacher, the co-operation of a Government department, the valiant effort of those far from in- struction, and the systematic use of the radio, make this thing pos- sible. Not so much the performance, but the promise of it, swept the lis- teners. "Music clubs are legion. They are found in every provincial centre. Brandon has organized a festival of merit. So has Selkirk. Community organizations north and south have established music day festivals. There is still cheap musle in this province, much of it, but it seems safe to phophesy that its days are blegsedly numbered. "Concurrently with what might be termed the 'English origin' stream is that from others which bring their own national inheritan- ces. These streams have not met yet, or scarcely so. But organization after organization have their choirs and their orchestras and their bal- lets. There are among them Ger- man, Italian, Polish, Swedish, Hun- garian, Norwegian ant Ukrainian associations. There is a fine Ice- landic choir. As influenies which focus in the Manitoba Mosic Festi- val establish standards of appreeia- tion, 0 does recognition grow of the gifts of these associations. This West has always , known rhythm. It beats its tomtoms in the lodges of the Indians and marked and atill marks their ceremonial dances. It paced the oars for the ex- plorers, and it wove patterns in the long twilights when the hunters of the plains rested from the feverish days. "The settlers came with a song. No one have ever rightly apportion. ed the place which the mouth or- gan, the accordion and the fiddle had in the making of the West. No one brought up on the prairies but knows the intricacies of the 'square dance," and finds there bits from the old world courts as well ag vil- lage greens, and in the tunes even among the half-breeds reminisences of the times when knighthood was in flower." DEAN ATTACKS ENGLISH DOLE Dr. Inge Sees No Danger of Communism Spreading Over World London, May 13 -- Althou, ugh he was newly returned from a Medit- erran cruise Very Rev, Dean Inge of St. Paul's spoke in a vein at the Individualist monthly luncheon which once again justified the well-known description which--rather 'carelessly --was fastened upon him some years ag "Our financial resources are so completely gone that we could not 80 to war ageing even if we were slap- ped in the face" declared the Dean. "Our naval supremacy has vanished, our Empire is falling to pieces. There is no confideice and no enter- prise. All we can see is a vast and ever-increasing army of parasites who -are paid by the State not to work. Other nations have scrapped the institutions that brought this state of things into existence.

It was a system of government which, but for its extreme cruelty, an ultra=Tory might contemplate with some favor, but which individualists must regard with horror because of: its destruc- tion of liberty. "I am not afraid of Comnitpism spreading over the world," continued the Dean, "It attacks at once the ree nature setae instincts of human te ownership, the: fam- n.

Willis s Goes to London as Representative of New South Wales Sydney, N.S.W,, May 13-From a lay preacher to agent-general iis the stride covered in the cargeol A 5. Wills who is goi woing fo Lon nas the representative of uth Wales in Great Britain. Mr. Wills gave up preaching many years ago, however, and in recent years he has given most of his time and thought to labor and political af- fairs. Before entering the legisla- tive council in ew South Wales he was d-with i able min- ers' disputes andshe goes to England well versed: in the labor doctrines of Premier Land, under whom he has been serving as'deader of the legisla- tive council. At the age of eleven he began his long association with mines for it was af this tender age that Willis was first given a Job i in a Welch colliery. He arrived in Sydney a few years before the war, worked for a while in the Balmain mine, which runs under Sydney harbor, and eventually became a union official, The step into poli- tics was a short one. While he received a license as a lay preacher from the Bishop of London, the ntroduétion of socialism info™w=setmon in ales resulted in a clash with tlie vicar, 'and that ended his church career. His clithby face, a generous rotundity and a placid smile, however, make it not difficult to imagine him as an Anglican bishop. An opposition newspaper in Syd- ney referred to his London mission as follows: "His new job will be the soothing of indignant bondholders who, if Mr. Lang gets his way, will be left lamenting the fact that they ever had anything to do with New South Wales. He probably found it easier to convert sinners than it will be to convert holders of New South Wales stock to the Lang policy of repudiation." SPANISH ESTATES T0 BE CULTIVATED Republican Government De- crees Are Causing Some Concern Madrid, May 13.--Decress aim- ing to enforce the cultivation of unused estates belonging to the former nobility and large land- owners were announced yesterday by the Republican Government. They create local committees empowered to force the owners of untilled lands to cultivate them and giving them authority to de- termine the nature of the crops and the wages for farm workers. The Government is studying the details of enforcing these decrees which theoretically are immniediate- ly effective, but actually cannot be applied until . after considerable preliminary work. The reaction of large land own- ers and some bank bankers. here is quite adverse, The former fear that a few bad crops or bad man- agement under the committees would lead to confiscation of their property and the levelling of debts against them for cultivation, The measures are of such im- portance that they should' be con- sidered by an elected assémbly, extreme critics said, and the action of the republic savors of dictator- ial policies. Newspapers started a campaign against the decrees, pro- nouncing them fantastic, unwork- able and unjust, The Government took the posi- tion that the measures were for the best interest of the country, saying that huge estates are with- out crops at a time when many thousands are unemployed and the country needs more production. Operation To Relieve. ; Alcoholism Related New York, May 13.--An opera- tion which quickly relieves acute alcoholism and leaves the victim at least temporarily free from craving is described in the Medi- cal Journal and Record of New York. Dr, Edward Spencer Cowles, director of the Park Avenue Hos- pital, author of the article, says acute alcoholism is due to pres- sure caused by excess fluid around brain cells, Not everyone is subject to .this trouble. The victims seem to be those whose tissues have a selected action for alcohol. They are possibly as rare, comparative- ly, as hay fever victims, Tapping the excess fluid through a comparatively simple operation, he says, give immediate relief, It hag even resulted in social regen- eration. He names several well- known physicians as successful practitioners of the method. BERMUDAN WOMEN SEEK FRANCHISE Secretary for Colonies Sup- ports Movement to Bring Bermuda in Line With Rest of British Empire (By The Canadian Press) Montreal, Que., May 12--Lord Passfield, secretary for the colonies in the British government, is an ad- vocate of women's suffrage in Ber- muda, it 18 disclosed in a letter re- ceived by Mrs. John Scott of Mon- treal, from Mrs. John Morrell, chairman of the Bermuda Woman Suffrage Society. A bill introduced for the purpose of extending the vote to women has, however, been defeated in the House of Assembly. Mrs. Morrell said Lord Passfield wrote of the franchise generally in Bermuda, and regarding women suffrage stated that 'the position in Bermuda would appear to call for review, "so as ti to bring the colony into line with most of the rest of the Empire. The official report of the Colonial Parliament of Bermuda for April 9 contained the following letter dated March 18, from the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Pass- field, to the Acting Governor of Bermuda. It was given as follows: "I have the honor to state that, as you are aware, a number of ques tions have lately been put in the House of Commons on the subject of the extension of the franchise in Bermuda in general, and the grant- ing of the franchise to women, and to inform you that these matters have attracted considerable atten- tion from the members of the House. "It has been brought to my no- tice that the proportion of register- ed electors of the total population of Bermuda fis less than six per cent which must be regarded as an ab- normally low figure. I wish also to take this oportunity to point out that the franchise has by now been very generally granted to woruen in the British Empire at ages varying from 21 to 3( years, and that in this respect also the position in Bermu- da would appear to call for review. "I should be gratified if the Ber- muda Legislature could see its way clear in the near future to consider the advisability of such an exten- sion of the local franchise as would bring it:into closer conformity with O01 fen In a jar like the finest face cveams.

This was the consensus at a session of the congress of La Federation Nationale St. Jean Baptiste at its headquart- ers, recently. When babies were born in the hospital, their older sisters and brothers were apt to become undis- cipled in the absence of their moth- er, while their fathers spent lone- some hours at their clubs, Mrs, Henri Gerin-Lajole, president of the organization stated: "Childbirth is a natural function, and should eon- solidate the home, not disrupt it," she said. She also felt that it was the right of the infant to spend the first sacred hours of its life in the family of which it was a member, LONELY MARTHA Martha hoped, when the telephone rang, that it was for her, Sure c¢nough, it was. "Lonely?" said, a voice. "I thought I'd call and see." "Why, mother," said Martha, "how did you know? I did want to talk to you so badly I" Martha and her moth- er have had a weekly Long Distance talk ever since. oh Wa NO rushMarks' A Canadian Product Better Made" Sole Agent |e SIMCOE ST. S. W. W.
