Hoe- fler, who recently made an' amazing trip in the interests of the Colora- do-African pedition, unearthed the secret.

The list of bookings for the rest of the summer includes many pictures which do not, as a rule, come to cities of the size of Oshawa, and these have been booked with the sole object of catering to the tastes of the patrons of the theatres of the city, and to give them the best that is obtainable in the talk- ing picture art. Coupled with this is the fact that both theatres are kept delightfully cool in even the most humid and warm of weather, thus providing for the comfort of patrons and making the theatres popular + places during the summer months. watch the announcements of the coming attractions at the Regent and the New Martin theatres to realize that Oshawa talking picture fans are very fortunate in having placed at their disposal pictures of the type which are being brought here for their entertainment.

BADEN-POWELL TALKS OF TOUR Deplores Mass Production Methods in Education Now Prevailing London:--From a pair of keen blue eyes which looked steadfast- 1y over the polished desk of an office in Buckingham Palace-road flashed the fire of youth and the 'at the der, and pated the office gleam of adventure, Lord Baden -Powell, Chief Scout and the hero ot the thoughts of a million boys and girls, who was the owner of those boyish eyes and hands, is 74--the age when most men are glad to potter around the garden. But not go the Chief Scout. How he works and travels.! Today he is back in London after a six-months tour of inspec- tion of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of New Zealand, Austral- ia and Africa. Night after night his head found a strange pillow in =a etrange town, with the prospect of another long journey on the morrow. His desk at the Boy Scout head- quarters was covered with maps and time-tables. London has be- come to him merely another port of call, "For the next two or three days," sald Lord Baden-Powell, "I shall be busy dealing with routine matters and clearing up the accumulation of work after my tour. on in Soom i "Then I shall be off again-- heading for Austria and other countries on the Continent." He juniped up from his chair with a springy stride. "I find it dificult to sit down for any length of time," he said. "When you have once fallen to the lure of travel it makes you feel eager to be wandering again ---oven at 74." Lord Baden-Powell has' the traveller's eye for detail. During his tour, he has covered thous- ands of miles, met every type of personality and has compared ecnditions abroad with those at home, 'They are fine boys and girls in New Zealand, Australis and South Africa," he said, "but I caunot understand why, in those countries, where opportunities for expansion are so great, they, should be herded together in crowded communities. ' Mass Production "In Australia and New Zea- lend they zre following the ox- ample of this éountry and bring- ing up children by mass-produc- tion methods of education, "That system is all wrong. In this country the education au- thorities are making a great mis- take, and it is a mistake which is being copied the world over, "The mind of the modern boy and girl has changed. I have watched it changing since the Scout movement began 23 years ago. But the minds of those who minister to their education are in the same old rut. "Modern youth demands free- dom and the absence, of frksome restrictions, It has no use for reading writing and arithmetic. It wants to be unfettered and un- restrained." "Our boys and girls clamor for self-expression," he sald, "and our education authorities pack them together in class-rooms and envolve a mass-production model. "Can we survive if we continue to hold the theory that children should be equipped for the world by a process similar to that nsed for turning out a cheap motor ~car? "There should be smaller classes in schools and every child should be carefully nur. tured." Lord Baden-Powell smiled as he concluded, "It is abut 23 years since the world said that the youngsters who were then Joining the Scout movement would grow: up to he wild and irresponsible.

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL ROUTES | T0 BE RETAINED Declaration By Premier Io Expected at Once | | i Ottawa, Aug. 6.--What air mail routes are to be curtailed, in ac-| cordance with the announcement of Right Hon, R. B. Bennett, the Prime Minister, answering a ques- tioh in the So of Commons yesterday, will be known in a day or two, post office department officials said here last night. They declared themselves without information as} to the services which are slated for} definite cancellation; but were of the opinion that the existing inter- national routes between Montreal" and Albany, Toronto and Detroit, would not be dropped. The likihood js that a number of the western secryices will be elimin- ated, for while strong pressure has been brought to bear on the Gov- ernment for their continuation, pressure equally as strong has been exerted for their curtailment. It is not probable, however, that the Government will do anything to jeopardize the benefits which Cana- dian business men derive from the international hook-up. Some weeks ago all services not operated on contract were dropped for reasons of economy; while those routes in connection. with contracts had been signed were scheduled for cancellation on" July 15 last. A month's extension was granted with a view, not to com- plete cancellation, but to revisime the contracts, a "The really successful film star Las to have an extensive ward- robe," says a writer, Including cne divorce suit.
