THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1928. 'Be No Roarer/ Barrie's Advice to Rhodes Men (*'Hear Thousand Nightingales, Despise Seniors if You Must," He Counsels "Avoid Tub-Thumping" iSpeech to Departing Scholars in Whimsical Vein London.--The full text Is now available of the characteristically whimsi-«al address which Sir James Matthew Barrie, Bart., the beloved Scottish kiuthor of "Peter Pan" and other works widely read, delivered to the departing Rhodes scholars of Oxford University recently, in which he advised them how to chart their course [through life. Sir James's address fol- "In proposing a toast to the Rhodes scholars, I am asked to bear in mind chiefly those whose three years here Wnd in Europe generally have just come or are coming to an end. And so, gentlemen, I have at you. "Exit William K. Brown" , "A kindly soul once divided books Into two kinds--those one likes to read and those that are very able. |You young Rhodes scholars are surrounded to-night by people who are very able. But it is you we want to read--you unwritten ones. Now that the stage direction is, alas! 'Exit William K. Brown'--that fascinating fellow, yourself (your interest in whom passes the love of woman)-- what is to happen to you next? "'Chapter One. I depart from Ox- Tbe result in ford determined to make public duty my highest aim.' "Bravo! But how? " Chapter the Last. "Namely? Ah, Mr. Brown, how we wish we could guide you through the paper hoop; but we know as little as yourself what Is being spun for you. Yet, the beginning of all you are to be already lies inside you--a little speck that Is to grow while you sleep and while you are awake and that in the fullness of time, according to your control of It, is to be the making of you or to destroy you. "Keep Speck Under Control" "You will know a great deal more about the speck when you came back | here years hence, not perhaps so bright as you are to-day, but I am sure all very able. 'Education' is a noble word in Mr. RJiodes's conception of i his fellowship. I can Just remember the days in a little Scottish town, the only place I know that beats Oxford --I don't mean in games--where the weavers of all ages trudged on their shanks to distant St. Andrew's or Aberdeen in quest of the college bursaries. If they returned victorious \ they reappeared by day, but if they Strange Custom Still Popular failed, hung about the outskirts i Cute in a Baby-Awful at Three -and it's DangerOUS- nightfall, then stole to their homes. Early next morning you heard them at their looms again, their teeth set and waiting for the next year. Dour times -- dogged students -- no Cecil Rhodes. But that speck was under control. "On the other hand, there was an old village superannuated school mistress who, before she slammed the door on her school for the last time, chalked on the blackboard this, her message to posterity: 'Drat all education!' When one sees two jaded Oxford dons in earnest converse among the immemorial elms I wonder if the,y are ever saying that 'Nobody has ever 'had to put on mourning because of me'?

To save the weak, thin-blooded sufferer, she must have new, rich blood, and nothing meets e case of this kind so well as Dr. Williams* Pink Pills. These pills not only enrich and increase the blood supply, they help the appetite and aid digestion, relieve the weary back and limbs, thus bringing new health and strength and transforming anaemic girls a women into cheerful, happy people. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the case of anaemic girls is proved by the case of Miss Lucy Stod-dart, Margaretville, N.S., who says: "From the age of 12 to 15, I was " an anaemic condition. I was very thin and nervous, had no appetite and had no desire to take part in the doings of those of my age. My mother got tonic after tonic for me, but they did me very little good. Then Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended and almost from the first they seemed to be just what was needed to restore my strength. After taking the pills for a time I felt an altogether different girl. I got up in the morning feeling bright and active, and ready for work or play. Since then I have always taken a couple of boxes of Dr. B BY CHICKS--WE HATCH FOUR varieties, prices 10c up. We will 60,000 for July and August Write rree catalogue. A. H. Swltzer, PER POUND UP.

The habit may cause an ill-formed mouth or Induce adenoids; and it always interferes with digestion. Pinning the sleeve over the hand; attaching mittens, or putting on cardboard cuffs, ^hich prevent bending the arms at the elbows, are some of the ways to ■top the habit. Another bad habit--irregularity in bowel action--is responsible for weak bowels and constiuation in babies. Give the tiny bowels an opportunity to act at. regular periods each day. If they don't act at first, a little Fletcher's Castoria will soon regulate them.

Its gentle influence over baby's system enables him to get full nourishment from his food, helps him gain, strengthens his bowels.

Crew of Schooner Describes Sinking Last of Gloucester's Racing Vessels Goes to Bottom Curling, Nfld.--Details of the loss of the Henry Ford, the last of Gloucester's racing fishing schooners, which sank near Bonne Bay, was told by Captain Clayton Morressey and his crew of 25 men, who landed from the wreck in their dorrfcs at Bonne Bay. Tho Ford, which was engaged in halibut fishing on the west coast cf Newfound1and, ran on the eastern end of the Whalesback reefs off Martin Point during thick weather. There was p. strong west wind blowing and a heavy sea and two hours after the vessel grounded the crew was forced to abandon her. The heavy pounding on the rocks tore the bottom out of the vessel and she sank in eleven fathoms of water. Her mastheads remained above the surface. The crew landed safely at Gull Marsh, not far from the spot where the steamer Ethic was lost ten year* ago. That shipwreck notable from the fact that a Newfoundland dog aided in saving the passengers and crew of the vessel. The shipwrecked fishermen saved nothing but their clothing. The captain of a-steamer which arrived at of the wreck before the Ford broke up, attempted to float her, but as prevented by the heavy sea«. The Ford was built in Essex, Mass., 1922. She was built to defend the international fishermen's trophv in that year, losing the series to the Blue-nose of Lur.enberg. N.S. She won the Llpton Cup in the Gloucester series off that port,in 1928. The r.sw schooner Columbia beat her that year in the elimination race to decide the Gloucester challenger for the international trophy and the Columbia retained th© Gloucester fleet until she was lost in a storm near Cape Sable last summer. lent Police Bar Warren Inscription From Rebuilt Louvain Library Louvain, Belgium.--Lively excitement has been caused in this quiet university town recently by the latest move by Whitney Warren, American architect, in the controversy over the inscription over the library reconstructed after the one destroyed in the war. The rector of the university, M. Ladeuze, acting on information that Mr. Warren already had prepared a balustrate with an inscription referring to the German destruction of the library and Intended putting it on the j usual Identity examination library, posted three university pro- leased. fused to assist the party from Brussels. M. de Soete ordered his men to keep on. The professors called the Police Commissioner. He appeared with three summonses for M. de Soete for trespassing and had them served, though the sculptor flourished written authority from Mr. Warren. M. de Soete persisted and tried to raise part of the inscription. The Commissioner ordered hie arrest. He was taken to a polioe station, but after the POOR MULE A young Negro, driving a cart drawn by a mule, was endeavoring to induce the animal to Increase its speed. Sun-denly the mule let fly with Its heels and dealt the Negro a tremendous kick on the head that stretched him on the ground. "Is he hurt?" asked a stranger of another Negro who had jumped from the cart and was standing over the prostrate driver. "No, boss," was the reply.

Early in the morning a motor truck arrived from Brussels and, under the direction of Pierre de Soete, a Belgian sculptor, workmen began unloading separate parts of the balustrade bearing the Inscription "Destroyed by German Ferocity, Rebuilt by American Generosity." They were about to raise the first part of the balcony when M. Ladeuze, excited, rushed out of the library with papers attesting the ownership of the building.
