Typical of 'ii5 dress, were the gr trousers, brown shirt and ) .'How pohce b-a- ces. The little man, who is known to thou- sands of readers for the above cha- racteristics of his person, '.vas Gre- gory Clark, the famous Canadian writer. "Who is that you have out in the car?" he asked as I mounted the steps. "Oh, that's Susie," I replied, "she came along for the ride."' "Well bring her in. She can talk with the ladies of the house, while we are up in the den." And that is the way our interview with Gregory Clark began. "Getting into newspaper work to- day, is much harder than it was, when I first started," pointed out Mr. Clark. "There is far more com- petition, and daily newspapers to- day seem inclined to hire experi- enced newsmen; rather than a greenhorn, who wishes to start in and learn the business." • .At this point a green and white marble, fell from his pocket and rolled across the hardwood floor. Recovering it, he explained: "\Vc have numerous cats around here, that pester my birds. I have a sling-shot and stand on the back steps and fire at them. I haven't hit anything yet, but I've sca,red ♦ho old heck out of a lot of cats." "What do you advise a young person, who is iutcn ted in getting into newspaper work?" I :iskcd Greg looked me square in the eye before answering. "My advice is : start at the bottom- n u country weekly. Wi "k hard at tiii" job, and some d.iy when your chance comes to work on a big newspaperâ€" work harder than ever. Move heaven : id earth to get the job, and at least you arc sL^rtcd on the way." And that nic iriciullios is the ad- vice of one of Canada's top-rank- ing newsmen, who knows that it is no easy job to get to the top of the ladder in the newspaper pro- fession. "Now about you and Jim FriM- the cartoonist. Do any of the stor- ies you write ever really nappcn;' I inquired. "The most of them develop front actual experiences of .lim and 1", Greg ii. formed le. "We have hunt- ed, fished and chunnued around to- gether for liO years. We started out together as cub reporter ant! cub artist, and although we ap. much alike in our play-habifs we have a few differences such as Jim s prefcrri.ig duck hunting to my tleir hunting and he like l)llliards and the races, while I would i <ther %o for a walk or drive in the country. ' "Docs Jim actually live around the corner?" was our ..ext question. "He lived around the corner fro \\ 'mc for about li years." replied Greg. "Tell nic somelliing Lout the Greg-Jim stories. Where do you get your ideas? How do you plar a story? How many words arc these in a Greg-Jim story, and how long does it take to write one?"' Greg took a deep breath, sctilcd back in his easy chair and begai- the answers to my questions. "In 20 years. I have travelled thousands of miles.

Sports - And One Thing or Another By FRANK MANN HARRIS =====^== ("A Sutbit Critic") ===^=-====» FABLE (Ifi/A apologies to the late, great George Ade). Once upon a time there was a Certain Province that had \"cr)' Liberal Sunday Laws. Whenever the Day of Rest rolled around John Citizen had his choice of attending church, ploughing up a golf course, sniffing the sweet aroma of burned gas on the highways, stay- ing home and nagging the wife and kiddies, or attending church. If des- perate he could even listen to the radio. But despite all this vast var- iety of entertainment, strange to say the Ingrate was still not satisfied. * « • So at last a group of High Minded Philanthropists decided they would do something about it. They decided to send a Representative Delegation of Si.x to call on the Head Man of the Province ; and included in this Representative Delegation were a Baseball Mogul, a Hockey Magnate, a Football Promoter, a Roller Kink Proprietor, a Moving Picture Im- pressario and a Sports Reporter, the latter being taken along because the Taxicab held six anyway and there wasn't any sense in wasting all that space. ^ » * The Head Man of the Pro\ince received them most graciously and asked them, in his best Chestcrfield- ian maimer, just what was biting thcni. So with one accord they pro- ceeded to tell him of the Terrible Suflcrings of .Tohn Citizen under the Liberal Sunday Laws, how their Soft Hearts bled for him Day and to men. women and chiKhcn in ill walks of lite. Hundreds of them have contributed sayini,s and theme,* for my stories and have never known it. I tell the story to myself first, tlicn Jim and . hold a story conference '''.Tt he can get an idea for the iltustratio:., which is very important. The story is written seven weeks ahead o' jb- lication. I drive an open car, and get out in the count . as much as possible in search of yiaterial. I also mingle with the crowds on the street, and in the store There arc about 2.000 words in >< Oreg- Jim story and the actual typing is almost 2 hours, althcugh the story takes four or live days planning." "Whew." he ga-; i.-,' "does that cover them all?" "Did you ever write from other places, when you were covering a news story," I continued. "I have sent them in to the office by wjre. cable and mail from all ove? the world." stated Greg. "In Ital.v they tried to stop ; story frc go- ing through. The were certain i' was code. Finally tl.cy let it c.'o. at six cents a word." We then went downstairs when Greg's daughter, Elizabeth ,-ind Su .-â- ie were chatting and eating frozer coke. Trust Susie to get in on th eats, I thought. Greg then showc' us his collection of walking stick*, his books and animal mountings carved from wood. After looting around the wall- trying to find a Jim Frise cartooi of "Old .-Xrchie," we bade this ntu found friend and his family good night. Heading out along the Lake- shore Road for home, we had a very contented feeling way dowt: inside. And I might add, a very happy feeling. Night, and how something would have to be Done About It immediate- ly if not sooner. * * * •^At this point the Sports Reporter •vas heard to uhisper, "IVhat a Pashoxcr this Egg turned out to he.-: « * « Then the Head Man of the Prov- ince said to them, "Did 1 hear you gentlemen tell me that, in making this Request, you have only the Interests of John Citizen at heart and have no â€" if you will pardon the phrase â€" Llterior Motive or Motives, such as Red Propaganda, or Profits, or anything discreditable like that?" So one and all, singly, doubly and in concert, they assured him they were thinking solely of John Citizen. * « * "You do yourselves Very Great Credit," said the Head Man of the Province, "and I can see that you are all High Minded Philanthropists indeed ! So with your .-Vssurance in mind I will immediately instruct â€" I mean, of course, request â€" My Legis- lature to pass an .\ct loosening up our Liberal Sunday Laws still further; so that now John Citizen will be able to have the Healthful Recreation of Baseball, Football, Hockey, Moving Pictures and Roller Skating in addition to the Vast Var- iety of Entertainment already at his command. And you. gentlemen, in return will " » » * At this juncture a Brecce that felt as though it came direct from the Upper Arctic seemed to srveep through the Reception Chamber causing the Sports Reporter to try and recall ti'here he had put his Winter Blanket for safe-keeping, and Zihat it iiould cost to get it out. But the Head Man didn't appear to feel it, and continued « » * "Voi^ gentlemen, in return will be, I am sure. Only T^o Glad to do Your Share. Interested as you are only in the Welfare of John Citizen you would naturally be Loath to Profit in Any Manner from the loos- ening of our Liberal Sunday Laws, and would desire to work what is vulgarly known as For F'ree. So 1 shall instruct â€" 1 mean, of course, requestâ€" My Legislature to frame the New Act so that all mone- tary returns, such as admission fees, etcetera, from any such new Stmd.iy entertainments will be turned over, without deduction, to some Worthy Charity. .'\s for you, Mr. Sivsrts Keportf, I shall be pleased to make arrangements with your Esteemed Employer whereby any Emohnient you might ordinarily receive for reporting such Sunday entertainment will be de\oted to the same Good Cause." But noti' it u-as the Head Man of the Province w/iti noticed a breeseâ€" only this time it nas the wind made by the Delegation of Six taking i/ Oil the Lam out of the Reception Chamber with the Sports Reporlei three lengths in the lend "IVhy uhereier can they hcn'e gone s<' <ibrup{ty?" the Head Man said !â- â€¢ himself. "I had so much more ti< say to them; and besides the Camern Man hasn't got here to Record this Historic Moment for Posterity!" | Then a sudden thought came to him.

WINDSOR The Fish Jumped Down His Throat .\ story about a fish that leap- ed out of the water and down an angler's throat %vas recently pub- lished in the authoritative British Medical .Tournal. The angler was taken to hos- pital in "a very distressing con- dition," reported acting surgeon Dr. R, M. B. Lewis of a Malay State but details were supplied "freely and willingly by about six of the angler's relatives, simul- taneously," The angler, fishing in a Malay- an rice field, peered over his net to inspect the catch, reported Dr. Lowis.. "whereupon a fish leaped from the water into his mouth and disappeared down his throat.'" "On e.taminatiou the tail of a fish could be clearly seen over the base of the tongue."' Then, the story goes, the tail came off in a pair of sponge-hold- ing forceps and the fish ultimate- ly was removed in a hospital oper- ating room. * The fish, described as ikan be- tok, is credited by Dr. Lowis with being able to climb a tree. Malay villagers say that anglers fish- ing for ikan betok should "not laugh hut keep the ntouth shut.' MKDICAl.
