To the music supplied 'by an" orchestra - dug- monted by instruments played by some of the members of the Reg- {mental Band, the couples danced from early in the evening until the stroke of midnight when the "National Anthem" brought the jolly party to a close. The af- 'fair was attended by about three hundred people, among whom were the men of "D" Company who remained in town after the regimental inspection for the Sunday church parade. p-------- GIRLS ROUT COMMUNISTS When Communists tried to ad- dress factory girls at Homebush, Australia, they recejved an n=" pected reception, and had to flee from the town, A group OL L..u- munists had visited Homebush the week before and had a hostile reception, but when two men and two women returned and started a meeting pandemonium broke loose, Five hundred girls jostled them mercilessly, peiting them with fruit and vegetables, One man fled to the railway station, but the other was held and beat- sn until eventually he was able to board a passing omnibus minus his hat and one shoe. One woman Communist fainted, but was re- vived and sent on her way. When a young man tried to help the other woman he was attacked by the girls, who made her flee to the station.

Geen, organist of Simcoe Street United Church, gave the first of a series of or- gan recitals on Saturday after- noon, Many music lovers of the city took advantage of the oppor- tunity atforded of hearing a fine church organ, and seldom has it been heard to better advantage. Mr. Geen proved himself a mas- ter. of the instrument, displaying genitis, musicianship and artistic finieh. Zis Bach Fuge, without which no organ recital is com- plete, was exceptionally well done, while the Funeral March and Seraph's Song by Guilmant was particularly effective, Regret was expressed that Miss Beauna Sommerville, violin- ist, was unable to be present. In her place George Fleming, bari- tone, rendered two fine solos, "Honor in Arms," Handel, and "Lead Kindly Light," by Pugh Evans, Mr. Geen announced his next recital for Saturday afternoon, November the twenty-eight at four o'clock, when it is expected many more will drop into the church for an hour of delightful and inspiring entertainment, WHAT NEW YORK IS WEARING By ANNETTE It's something entirely new in a bandeau and pantie set.

Ia addition to vel- capa* what registered To dare and do must always thrill Whate'er results in good or fll, --Danny Meadow Mouse. This is a true saying. You will find it so all through life, Any- thing you may do that requires daring will give you a thrill while you are doing it, even if it be an unwise or even foolish thing to do. But if the result proves to be good' there is a tremendous sat- isfaction in addition to the thrill In climbing tze stalk of the big sunflowers on the edge of Farmer Brown's cornfield Danny Meadow Mouse was doing a very daring thing. It may not seem so to you but it was for him, It was as daring as it would be for you to climb the tallest tree of which you know. You see, Danny is a very little fellow who is at home only on the ground and not given to climbing. The top of that plant was as high to him as the top of a tall tree would be to you. So as he climbed Danny felt very daring, and the higher he got the greater the thrill he felt, He wished that Nanny Meadow Mouse could see him, yet he was glad that she didn't for he knew just how foolish she would think him and how she would scold "I suppose I may be foolish," thought he, 'but anyway I'll have the satisfaction of finding out about that big black thing at the top. It used to look like a flower, and flowers make seeds, What if I should find some seeds that are good eating. Nanny couldn't say much then," At last he reached the top and felt very high up in the world. It almost frightened him to look down. That big black thing hung down so that he was on the back of it now. It wasn't black there, but green, There was plenty of room for him to sit there com- fortably. He sat there long enough to get his breath. Then he carefully crept to the edge and peeped over, Right under his nose was a seed, a big, grayish-black seed, and his nose told him that it was good to eat. He got hold of the end of it and pulled it out of the little cell in which it fitted tightly. Carefully, lest he fall, he erept backward until he was once more on that broad comfortable place on the back of the flower head. There he sat up and with his sharp teeth stripped off the tusk, My, how good that seed tast- ed! It was oily and rich and it tasted like--well, it tasted like more. Yes, sir, it tasted like more, Back he went for another, pull- ed it from its cell and as before carefully backed away with it until he was where he could sit up and eat it in comfort and safety. The husks he just drop- ped at his feet. So he kept on pulling out and eating seed until he just couldn't eat another, Not until then did he think of Nanny, He peered down. At first he didn't see her. Then he discover- ed her and knew that she was looking for him, He kept perfect- ly still. He didn't want her to find out where he was, But presently she came close to the stalk of that big plant and smelled around it, At once her nose told her that Danny had been there and «climbed that plant. She looked up but couldn't see him because a leaf was in the way, Then Danny had a happy thaught. He had a seed which he hadn't eaten. He dropred it and it fell almost in front of her nose She smelled of it and then ghe did just what he hoped she would do, she tasted it, Danny knew that this was the time for him to go down. Nann) heard him coming and stopped eating. "Well," she squeaked, "I hope your. curiosity is satisfied.' "It is, my dear, It ig," replied Danny. "Did you ever tastc any- thing better?" "Better than that seed you are eating, the one I dropped down to you," replied Danny. Nanny looked at the seed and then at Danny. "Where did you drop it from?" she demanded in a squeaky voice, "That big black thing up there is full of them," replied Danny. "Now aren't you glad I was cur- ious?" Nanny sald nothing until she had finished the seed, Then she looked up and there was a hun- gry look in her eyes, "Did you say that there are more?" she asked, (Copyright, Burgess). 1931, by T.

HISTORY: HERODOTUS: (1). Herodotus is called "the father of history". The subject of his HISTORY is the conflict which the Greek . race waged against the Asiatics.

He wrote AN AC- COUNT OF THE PELOPON- NESIAN WAR, He was very gerupulous as regards his facts and dates, He first showed that a tgreat historian ought not to be content with merely narrating facts or with the critical éxami- nation of his sources but should try to trace the causes of events and their consequences.

RECREATIONAL READING All is recreational which is worthy of the name. There is, in reality, no other kind of reading which can and should be called reading, except recrea- tional reading. There is, indeed, as some of us have painful recol- been bred from a full cel Soule. Depart (1) Aesop, the prince of story- | digested, for the benéfit of pun- dits called examiners. There is, I know, another kind of reading adopted by doctors, lawyers, and occasionally by parsons, which is called "keeping abreast of the newest thought of your profes. sion", Neither is this reading in any true sense of the word, It is merely an extension into later life of the examination system. There is, or used to be--I have heard less of it of late--a kind of use of books which was urged upon the young and .innocent, .who were goaded into .reading .dull things for the sake of what is called "improving their minds". Neither is that reading. There is really only one kind of reading worthy of the name, reading for pleasure, reading for the love of it, reading what yon want be- cause you want to.~From an ad- dress by the Rev. Canon J. O.

GANDHI LEAVING FOR INDIA NOV. 20 Says Round Table Confer- ence Is Doomed to Failure Loridon, Eng. Nov. 11--Mahatma Gandhi decided yesterday the Round Table Conference on Indian Affairs is bound. to fail, and an- nounced that he is sailing for home Nov. 29. "Neither the King nor Mr, Mac- Donald nor Lord Sankey has given me any tangible basis for hope that any of in the Indian National de- mands will be granted," the Nation- alist leader declared. "I feel that I'm wasting my time here, but I'm willing to stay in Lon- don until the end of the conference, which, I expect, will come in a fort- night. Then nobody can accuse me of impatience." He promised to make one final attempt to reach an agreement with the British authorities, but said he did not expect the "miracle which would save the conference from failure." "I am afraid there are fiery days ahead," he declared, "but no people ever won its liberty without suffer- ng. Before 1 leave 1 shall go to the last extremity to avert the dis- aster which looms ahead. If I fail then I shall return to India with an absolutely clear conscience." Mr. Ga .dhi declared, however, he did not regret coming to England, as his two-months' stay here gave him an insight into the psychology of the 'British Government and the jritish people. Also, explained, it enabled him to spread his message to Britons who received#im in a friendly and tolerant spirit; nemis- sion now is much better understood than it was before his visit, he said. "I shall be able to give the work- ing wmittee of the, Indian Na- st Congress a much better first-hand account of the real situa tion here than would have been possible had I remained in India" Mr. Gandhi added, iling from Genoa, Nov. tma plans to spend a ve, Switzerland, with iirer and biographer, Romain Roland. FATAL ACCIDENT IN PETERBOROUGH Man Crushed To Death in Elevator Shaft con tiot Peterboro, Nov. 11--John A, Con- nors, 25, son of Mr. and Mrs, James Connors of this city, died in Nich- oll's Hospital late on Monday after- noon as the result of injuries sus- tained when he was crushed in an elevator shaft at the North Mon- aghan gravel pit in the morning. Connors went to grease the el- evator of the stone crusher while it was in operation and it is believed that his clothing caught in the ma- chine, - throwing him against the shaft, fracturing his skull and badly crushing his body, ; HOBILIZATION CHINESE TROOPS Indications of Further Hos- tilities in Orient Tokio, Nov, 11 -- Ringo News Agency said General Mah had wir- ed to Chang Hsueh-Liang, gover- nor of Manchuria, ousted by the Japanese; Chang Tso - Hsiang, commander of all Manchurian forces north of the Great Wall, and Wan Fu-Lin, Nationalist gov- ernor of Heilungkiang Province, all of whom are believed to be at Peiping, requesting that they or- der the mobilization at Tsitsihar, Heilungkiang capital, of all troops of Kirin Province, the mid- dle province of the three which make up Manchuria. There was confirmation for re- ports of Chinese concentration near the Heilungkiang capital. A despatch Sunday from Gen- eral Shigeru Honjo, commander- in-chief of the Japanese army in Manchuria, said reports reaching him placed the Heilungkiang forces near Anganchi at "5,900 infantry, 2,400 cavalry, 300 engl neers, and a number of gunners with a dozen field and mountain guns." The war office also said that "General Ting Chao, commander of the Chinese railway guards do- ing duty along the Chinese East- ern Railway, hag decided to as- sist the Hellungkiang army, and is gradually massing his troops in the neighborhood of Anganchi." JAMAICA FRUIT IS FINDING SALE HERE Oranges and Grapefruit In- creasing in Popularity in Montreal Montreal.--The British West Indies are increasing their efforts t= intarest Canadians in the pur- chase of West Indian products, particularly fruits, and a tour of Montreal stores recently indicated that Jamaica oranges and grape- fruit, for instance, are finding a wider sale than a few months a Storekeepers were asked their and similar produce brought in from California and one of the leading dealers gave his opinion ag follows: "Recently we made a test of the quality of Jamaica oranges and found that four of the Jamaicans produced three glasses of delicious juice. Another test was made with four or: ges not grown in the West Indies. These produced only two glasses of juice so we conveyed this infor- mation to our customers, telling them in addition to obtaining more for their money the: were obtaining more of the valuable Jitamin "C" in the Jamaica pro- wet." Adverse Discount Another interesting angle which came to light in a tour of the stores concerned the results of such trade to Canada as, it was pointed out, these fruits are brought to Canada by Canadian Government steamers, whereas the foreign product8 travel, for the most part, over foreign lines. With the Canadian dollar at a discount in the United States, one prominent fruit dealer pointed out, Canadian purchases of West Indian fruits are advisable, not only from the standpoint of the quality of the products,, but from the monetary standpoint, as Canadian funds are at a discount in the purchase of American fruit, Produced in Canada The attitude of the Produced in Canada Association (Quebec) Inc., was reflected in the refer- ence to the objects of the associa- tion which is, first to encourage the purchase of produced in Can- ada merchandise, and secondly, where this is not possible, to ad- vise support of Empire products such as those which are brought from the Wset Indies. It vas felt that, in the case of West Indian oranges, grapefruit, limes, toma- toes, lime juice, limeoils, cocoa, cocoanuts and other produce, the increased purchases of these hy Canadians will, indirectly help the Produced in Canada move- ment because the West Indies show a distinct preference for Produced in Canada merchandise. This, it was explained, is shown in the preferential tariff in favor of Canada and the more produce the West Indies sell in Canada the more they will be able to buy insofar as Produced in Canada merchandise is concerned.

A Post Office Department truck, reputed to possess uncanny powers of locating unlicensed sets, prowled ostentatiously through the city, the suburbs and neighboring towns to the consid- erable alarm of the pirate op- erators. The department took care to let the public know in advance all about the powers of the de- tector truck, in fact, so unearthly was the story made to sound that in someé quarters rumors arose the truck was nothing more than an elaborate camouflage.
