If the stars came out only once a year, we would all go out to see them. This thought was suggested by reading the annual statement of the Montreal Parks and Playgrounds "Association, and the realization of Bow litte it is known to the general public, considering the splendid work it is doing and bas accom- plished. ¥ By the iron grip of custom and {ts accompanying staleness many of wus to appreciate men and institu- tions living at our very doors, from day to day and their greatness is ac- centuated often by their silence. 'How many laymen know of the or- ganization, its fine alms, its needs, its ambitions, and its helpers? This story will detail some of these inter- esting points, Now that the first robin has been seen by some old timer, that is, pro- vided it was not mistaken for. the bronze-breasted grossbeak, the mind needs no stimulus to recall away back in the vistas of memory the sea- son when parks and playgrounds are 80 attractive to everyone. The organization 1weans just what its name precisely states, and it wae created in a simple manber about fourteen years ago, with a view to giving playgroundg to children whose home did not affoNd them or whose homes were practjeally devoid of any such enjoymg¢nt opportunities. It has prospered ut much more might be done if more contributions were available. Gay groups of happy-faced chil- dren who played last season at the Hibernia road grounds, at the Dyke, or the Royal Arthur fields, are eager- ly awaiting the "Good old summer time." These youngsters know no trouble, and if they do it falls off at the Maygrounds, like a cloak. Their joys have a multiplication by a di- vision of their delights. One can al most hear the click of a lawn mower, teel the cooling sound of a fountafo or a murmuring stream, and the sight of heat yaves radiating straight from a stone pavement, just by reading this same report published by Miss Edith I. Watt, honorary secretary of the association. If giving is gaining, the magnifl- cent work of these splendid people who help this association shows well for the efforts of last summer. In addition to the summer work, how- ever, Miss Pinkerton reported that a rink had been successfully operated and a good attendance of children given. The total attendancé of chil- dren during the session of summer was 43,303, and in her report Miss Watt stated especially that a great debt is owed to their supervisors, and particularly Miss Pinkerton, who undertook the general supervision, and to Mr. McCann foy their unfall- ing interest and enthusiasm, The workers are all of the best families of the city and are powerful and influential. They have given of their plenteousress in spirit and ma- terial effort so that they have in- creased the meaning and richness of iife to so many thousands of poor and middle-class families. It has been well said by the Duke of Wellington that the battlefields of England were won on the grassy floors of playgrounds." Just now such a remark is omipous when the awful war is causing such stress and terror, In fact, Miss Watt referred to it in ber report, stating that they could hardly realize there was a war when on their peaceful and happy playgrounds. Then was suggested the beautiful lines-- O Father, while the kings and cap- tains lift their swords to gignal; Turn Thou to strone wos hea. that bleed in little homes made bare; Bend low to calm the children who are crying for their fathers, And soothe the lonely women who are weeping everywhere. A prominent clergyman stated that the sky was darkened by a reel ascending from a thousand camps, and armed men seek the destruction of their fellows. R. M. C.'s Share. Since August 4, 1914, when war was declared between Great Britain and Germany, the Royal Military College of Kingston has contributed six hundred men towards the cause of the Allies. Of that number more than half graduated from the college previous to the declaration of war, At the present time the officers at the Royal Military College are spend- ing practically all their time in pre- paring the men for the front. As soon as one class leaves a 'new one arrives to take its place. In no other institution is a super- ficial or purely theoretical knowledge more guarded against than at the Royal Military College of Canada. It is ever the practical application of principles that is aimed at, with a view to the future life of an officer. Even mathematics, French and Eng- lish are subjects which he studies only for their military value, as soon as he has become familiar with the rules, principles, subjects. Likewise the gymnasium, work, drills, games, riding, field work are all designed to develop men, whilst giving relief from men- tal strain at the most desirable time in the day. This admixture of intel- lectual and bodily work, in just the right proportions, makes the cadets the splendid well-disciplined be- ings of brainelgnd physique they have proved to be im this war, ' To Save Horned Antelope.

The Edifice Re-Oonsecrated By a Remarkable Service Init. ---- Saratoga Springs, N.Y , May 4.-- The famous, high-arched ballroom adjoining what was once the gam- bling hall in Richard Canfield's Sara- toga Club, now known as the Casino, was "re-consecrated" at a remarkable service held yesterday afternoon by Bishop Luther B, Wilson, of New York; Bishop Joseph F. Berry, of Philadelphia; President Ezra S. Tip- ple, of Drew Theological Seminary, and other high dignitaries attending the general conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church. Persons long in the Methodist Church declar- ed the service the most unique in its history. More than a hundred men and women, unable to find seats in the long colonnaded ballroom, were given places in the old gambling hall itself, about the walls of which were still hung some of the old pictures of the Canfield days. "Many of those who came here in other days," said Bishop Wilsen im- pressively, after Dr. Tipple had re- ferred to the earlier uses to which the building had been put, "stood about the tables here and hazarded the wages of a day, or a week, or the price of a farm or their stocks, on the turn of the wheel, and who knows how many of them, when they lost, went out of this room to their deaths. "There is a lesson in this. Let us, as Methodists, lay our gold on the 'black' of sin, or on the 'red' of the crimson life, so that we may 'lose with God." Let us turn the black to gray and white, and the red to Chris- tian decency and purity." SENATE REJECTION VETO. senator Cloran Moves Resolution Giving Commons Power.

GRIFFII!, THE TOY MAN. Organizer of Exhibition Has Been a | Journalist for Many Years, The great success of the Toy Ex- hibition, which has been held recent- y of the Department of Trade and Commerce, has béen due, in no small measure, to Mr. Watson Griffin, of that department, who acted as Sir George Foster's repre- | sentative in arranging the Exhibi- tion. The motive of the exhibition was to encourage in Canada the man- ufacture of toys hitherto mainly sup- plied by enemy countries. support it hac received, alike from Canadian . manufacturers, wholesal ers and department stores, and re- tallers generally, ag well as the very general evidences of appreciation of its aims shown by them 2il, and ihe general public as well, have been most gratifying, and must have made Mr. Watson Griffin feel assured that bis indefatigable efforts have beer well repaid. It is not the smallest tribute to his work that he has been able to imbue all concerned with the spirit of harmony which has been so marked a feature of the Exhibition Mr. Watson Griffin has been con nected with the Department of Trade and + Commerce since September 1913. At the time of his becomir associated with it he was the indu trial commissioner of Brandon, Mani- toba, and sb far back as 1902 he bad proved his ability as an organizer bv managing the first "Made-in-Canada" campaign in that year., Mr. Watson Griffin was formerly, for many years, macaging editor of The Montreal Family Herald and Weekly Star, and subsequently chief editorial writer on The Montreal Daily Star. Shortly after his association with Sir George Foster's department he was appoint- ed 'special commissioner of the Cana- | dian Government to the British West Indies to investigate the working of the trade agreement with the British Indies, and he presented a report on which has been pub- e idea of the Toy Exhibition was 0 show the toys most generally made in Germany, and hitherto sold in this country,~- and also to show what Canadians can do in competi- tion along the same lines. Altogether Mr. Watson Griffin was able to get to- gether some forty-three exhibits from native manufacturers, Further, he has been able to interest influential women's associations in the subject. And if, as seems likely, the children's playthings in vogue in this country will in future be made not in Ger- many or elsewhere, but in Canada, this desirable result will be largely due to his tact and trouble. Mr. Grifin, , who was, born at Hamilton, Ont., some fifty-five years ago, is the author of numerous books, including a novel, which he published in 1886. He has also been a prolific contribu- tor to British apd American maga- sines, A Big Business, Two million and a quarter dollars are spent in the Toronto Military District every month on the mainten- ance of the organization under the command of Brig.-General Logle.
