Devoted to her husband and her baby, Madeline Barron stood, one would have said, for a high typo of normal, modern woman. And it was only of late that the faintest wave of unrest had been observable on her sunny calm. Angelica pondered over it and wondered if she ought to speak to Ned.

And, I believe it all Dostoievsky's Views on Crime and Punishment The theory of the great Russian writer, Dostoievsky, that love, pity and comprehension are the only effective means of overcoming crime, is set forth by Dr. Francis Snow, former head of the Russian Bureau of the Committee on Public Information during the World War, in December "Current History." This theory, statesDr. Snow, Is being carried out to some extent by the Soviet Government, which "except in the case of counter-revolutionaries has abolished | capital punishment for crime. It is j humanely attacking the problem of prostitution on the economic side by ! protecting women workers from dismissal and unemployment, and gives j legal protection to unmarried mothers j and illegitimate children." Dostoiev-j sky set forth his humane ideas in his great novel "Crime and Punishment," states Dr. Snow, "and there is no doubt whatever that it has exercised a tremendous influenco at least in the peuumbral degions of men's minds in | slowly shaping and evolving a more I humane attitude toward crime.

Sir Vincent Meredith, President, and Sir Frederick Williams-Taylor, General Manager, in their addresses, stressed the rapid strides that Canada was making but struck a warning note against possible over speculation. Sir Vincent Meredith in his address, said in part: Trade conditions in Canada during the year have been active, and while there is still keen competition in many lines, balance sheets generally show satisfactory profits.

Sir Frederick Williams-Taylor, in addressing the shareholders, said in In two fundamental respects, earning power and liquid strength of resources, our position continues highly satisfactory.

Women Winners Race Track Results This Year Show Women Owners Take Great Interest SOME HEAVY WINS Canadian Marathon Outlook is Da iglil Bricker and Webster Already Have Been Selected for the Olympic Event Canada is enthusiastic about its prospects in the marathon at the Games in 192S and already Bricker of Gait and Webster of the Hamilton Olympic Club, have been selected to carry the Dominion colors at Amsterdam. Bricker has won two of the three marathons in which he has competed and the excellent form which he has shown ps him as Canada's best hope. To the women went most of the laurels of the past thoroughbred rac-; oiymph ing season. The active interest taken ■ by women in horse racing is one of the sport's notable recent developments, although it receives very little attention. Mrs. Payne Whitney's stable was the heaviest money winner on the New York tracks. Her horses were first in thirty-one races, second in forty-two Webster has won only and third in forty-nine, accounting for the manner in which he took it leads a total of $172,469. | Canadian critics to select him as one Mrs. John D.
