UNIQUE EXHIBIT HERE TO-MORROW / The gigantic whale captured only a short time ago after a thril- ling battle off San Clemente Is- land on the Southera California coast, will be on exhibition in a special car on the railroad siding at Athol Street. The spectacle of the huge creature, more than fifty-five feet long and weighing 68 tons, is declared to be one of the most unusual ever seen here. Perfectly preserved by a re- markable use of the embalmer's art, the immense mammal gives a sight that has held the absorbed interest of large crowds. The whale 45 a finback and is sald to be one of the largest and finest specimens of the kind ever taken by a whaling crew. Spectators are receiving addi- tional thrills from the adventur. ous stories being told by Capt. Ed. Morris, a picturesque sailor who is accompanying the whale on its trans-continental tour, Morris was a whaler in his youth and re- lates exciting accounts of his ex- periences: and hairbreadth es- capes, An idea of the size of the whalg is given by the fact that the heart, when removed in connec- tion with the embalming process was found to weigh 1286 pounds, while the tongue weighed 600 pounds. It required a 90-ton crane to lift the massive bulk from the water at Long Beach, California. The whale resisted capture for several hours, putting up a terri- fic battle despite the presence of a harpoon that had been shot deep into his body. The bomb attach- ed to the harpoon had failed to explode, which would have meant instant death to the whale. The crew was.on the point of exhaus- tion when the whale finally weak- ened sufficiently to be brought within range for a fatal shot. The exhibition will, no 'doubt, revive interest in a number of things concerning whales which have baffled students of natural history. It is not known, for ex- ample, how a whale manages to dive a mile deep in the ocean and remain there for an hour without breathing and without any appar- ent inconvenience or loss of strength. How they-hear; how their eyes resist the freezing tem_ perature of the Arctic at great depths, and how they resist the tremendous pressure are other mysteries science is seeking to penetrate.

Lloyd George, ing COMMUNISTS BEFORE COURT Toronto, Aug. 12. -- Three al- leged "key men" of the commun- ist party in Canada appeared in police court here to-day and were remanded in custody until Au- gust 19, on charges of being mem- bers of an "unlawful association." The charges follow the series of raids made last night by city, pro- vineial and Dominion police on 10- cal headquarters of the commun- ist party and the residences of communist leaders. "Tim Buck, political secretary of the communist party, and John Boychuk, organizer among Ukran- jans, appeared on the "umlawful association" charge. Mike Golin- sky of Calgary, arrested during the nighf, appeared on a charge of vagrancy but the more serious charge was laid this morning and he was due to appear again for remand. Joseph Sedgewick, of the Pro- vincial Attorney-General's Depart- ment, appeared for the Crown and asked that the men be detained in custody. Hugh John MacDonald, tor the accused, intimated an ap- plication ball would be made. "Can you raise substantial bail. $165,000 or $20,000?" asked Mag- {strate Browne. "I think we could," said Mr. MacDonald. "I can make an or- der for bail and will hear an ap- plication at any time," said the Magistrate. Crown officers, however, inti- mated later that any application for bail would be opposed al- though the decision would rest with the Magistrate. In the meantime two other men were arrested at communist head- quarters at noon and the search for Tom Ewen, secretary of the Workers Unity League, continued.

MANY ROUND PEGS IN SQUARE HOLES Specialist on Vocational Guidance Gave Interest- ing Address at Kiwanis Club Luncheon An interesting address on '"Vo- cational Guidance," delivered in such a manner as to provide much food for thought, was given to the Oshawa Kiwanis Club yester- day, at the club's weekly lurnch- eon, by A. B. Earmer, of Toronto, a specialist in this type of work. In. stressing. vocational guidance as one of the objectives of Kiwan- is Mr, Farmer sald that only twen- ty-five per cent of the people of to- day were engaged in work. that suited them, and that the other seventy-five per cent were round pegs in square holes. It was In correcting this solution that def- inite training and teaching in vo- cational . guidance ' found. their chief value, and in the course of his address he strongly urged at- tention should be given to this phase of education during the public school years. In the last 100 years, said Mr. Farmer, great progress had been made in all phases of life, and this had brought about increased facilities for: education, the new- est'development being the increas- ed interest in technical education. Tremendous sums of mony. were riod of a boy munity and the ko 33,000. Zhe, of greatest needs of education wag vocational guidance, but it was too late if left to the second- ary schools, since a vocationa choice is usually made before the course of secondary education is selected on ering. high school. Using profuse {llustrations from his own wide experience, Mr. Far- mer showed how proper vocation. al guidance would eliminate many. of the round pegs in square holes, and he showed how this kind of 'work was being fostered and de- veloped in the United States. The work was now under way in On- tario, he stated, and one of the forces helping to r it was the Kiwanis Club, which were do- an -excellent work in trying to. get young boys happily fitted into the type of positions . for T! .
