GOINQ SOUTH? The rich go south in the winter. The hoboes without any money do It. Professional golfers do It. Geese do It. nacp-hornea do It. Cattle used to do It and would yet If they had a 6linnce. TIi6 point arises as to whether or not It Is lilie proper thing to do. It It a reasonable or natural thing to stay in Canada during the winter or if. for economic reasons, one stays, is It reasonable and natural to attempt to carry on ordinary commercial and social activities. Fish, mud-turtles, bears, hces, squirrels, snakes, flies, muskrats, liedgehogs and most of the other forma of life, which have no rapid means of transportation and are tiiereby compelled to stay in the northern half of the continent dur. ing the winter, do not attempt to carry on their ordinary activities; they go to sleep. Is that the proper thing to do Are these intelligent people wrong? Look at tihe people who slay in the north and attempt to carry on their regular activities: Wolves, bankers, moose, coal merchants, poolroom pro. prielois, jiolltlcians, preachers, musl- cians, doanestic fpwl, plumbers, news, paper rei)orter8, billiard players, con- vpntioii orators, house cats, bridge players and college professors. Are Work of Indian Teacher Praised Gives Credit For Success To His Hniclish Wife, A War Bride Hod Lorrain who turned Lennox Island, P.E.Lâ€" John Sark renounced his hereditary rights as Chief of the Micmac Ind'an reserve here when he answered the call of the Empire and went overseas with the 2'lth Battery as a non-commis- sioned officer.

When you hammer a nation you sometimes break It, you some- times make It. Britain, and a dozen allied nations, tried to hammer re- volutionary Russia In 1919.

Finally a letter came from the English girl saying she was coming to .join him. "Without help she found her way to Dalton a.\d walked into my pre- sence unannounced. When I saw her standing there. I knew that her heart was the perfect heart- 'Where you are, I should be,' she said, 'and I have come to make you well.' " The doctors had told the Indian he would be an invalid for the rest of his life. "But," declared Sark, re- suming tho story in his own words, "within six months she brought back my strength and 1 was able to take over the Micmac school at the Island reserve." In the eyes of his people his wife was a stranger and for a time un- welcome. "But the beauty of her na- ture, the unselfl.shness of her life and the affection she showered upon me won their everlasting affection." The English woman has adapted herself to local customs anil has be- come a leading spirit in the com- munity. They have five attractive children, three of whom are attend- ing the little school. They speak both Micmac and English; their mother has never learned the Mic- mac timgue. "I hate war and the consequences of it" continued the keen-eyed Indian teacher, "liut I have to thank God for the world upheaval that lirought me the English girl and the children that now surround us." There's still "room at the top" for ambitious youth â€" but, declares Walter B. Pitkin, famed author of ''Life Begins at Forty," It is a small- er room than it used to be. And In- stead of being in a city skyscraper, it may be on the main street of the old home town. Able young man and women today. Dr. Pllkin notes In the current Ro- tatiau Magazine, should take a real- istic view of tlie change, and recog- nize the fact that It may be neces- sary for t'hem to work longer than did able youth of another generation at jobs requiring less than their full abi'ities. Progress up what he de- scribes as "the battered old ladder of success," is apt to be slower than formerly, and wise youth will culti- vate local acquaintances and a know- ledcre of local affairs. A 10-point list of auallfications ne- cessary for hi.^'h-';rade young men and womyt. who wou'<I reach the room-at- the-top is offered by Dr. Pitkin: 1. â€" Health 2. â€" High energy .3. â€" Persistence 4. â€" Thoroughness 5. â€" High teci!inical training 6. â€" Social sense â€" the ability to get along well with people 7. â€" Self-knowledge, and self- understanding. 8. â€" Willingness to work for a long lime at jobs requiring less than one's abilities. 10. â€" A knowledge of local affairs and wide acquaintanceship with local people. All of which, he adds. Is based on the patent fact, "Today t.here Is no loom anywhere for millions who are able and willing to work. It's impor. tant, even though not pleasant to know that, in terms of mere numbers alone, every young worker who has arrived at working age since 1920 would be superfluous in our existing economic system if everybody were to use the latest and best Inventions and Improvements. "We have heard much of the youth problem â€" and It is a big problem, one that reaches around the world. Gratifying, however.

New York. â€" The English talking picture version of "The Private Life of Henry VHI," which made a singu- lar success here and abroad and es- tablished British motion pictures as a distinct threat to American produc- tions, was attacked as an "unwar- ranted and blatant piracy" in a suit filed in Uniteil States District Court last week by Fanny E. Holtzman. in- ternational lawyer, for Francis Hack- ett, American author of "Henry VHL" The suit, which promises to be the biggest plagarism suit in recent years, is expected to involve mor« than $1,000,000. Alexander Korda, the producer; London Film Productions, Ltd., and the United Artists' Corporation, are named defendants. Mr. Hackctt de- mands a restraining order, directing the defendants to desist from exhib- iting the picture, and also the sur- render of all prints made of the film, an accounting for all pixjfits in the United States, and payment of the costs of bringing the suit. CHARGES LISTED The complaint alleges that parts of Mr. Hackett's biography, copy- righted in 1929 by Horace Liverright, Inc., publishers, were pirated with "the conscious intention and purpose to excite, by representation and mis- representation . . . the same emo- tions as complainant had invented and created in his book. 'Henry vnr ". Questioned about the suit, Mr. Hackett said that he discovered th« likeness between his book and th« film when he chanced into a Dublin theatre. "To my astonishment," he said. "I saw paraded across the screen th» living interpretations I had gleaned by laborious years of detailed re- search." Mr. Hackett said he spent many years in England, France and Italy gathering material for the book. ".After my book became a best sell- er," he said, "my agent went to Hol- lywood, where he discussed its pos- sibilities for screen purposes. Nego- tiations were started but were not yet completed when I chanced to see the Korda production in Dublin." Asked whether he would institute suit in England on the basis of th« English copyright on his book, Mr. Hackett said that any further action depended on Miss Iloltzmann.

A new fashion in men's wear has been started by the Prince of Wales. Changes in men's fashions take placo slowly and are often so slight as to pass unnoticed except to tilie most (lis. ccrning. The change which the Prince has now sponsored is a matter of cut. The coat of the suit instead of being shaped at the side is cut with a straightcr line. The trousers hang perfectly straight, t.o, avoiding m broken line at the bottom by being a trifle sliorter than usual and thus doing away wilh the crease at the ankle produced in heel-length trous- ers.
