Fun With a Tablecloth With eyes as big as saucers, the boys and girls sitting in the front row of the audience hold their breath and then gasp in astonishment when they watch me jerk a tablecloth off a table . fully set with dishes, an electric lamp, and a flower vase without disturbing a single article. It looks wonderful Yet, it is really an easy trick to do. Til tell you how, For the first trial use an unhemmed piece of cloth a HNttle bigger than x napkin. Spread it on a small table #0 that only ome edge of the cloth hangs over, In the center of the cloth place a heavy saucer, and in this invert a heavy tumbler, Stand far enough away from the table so that, in order to take hold Saucer Take hold of the cloth with both hands. Grasp it in such a way that, when you pull the cloth, you pull it from directly under the saucer and gmot from the If the cloth is not pulled from w! the saucer, it will wrinkle and cannot be pulled without moving the saucer and upsetting the Dg not jerk the cloth up, nor down. Pull It straight out from the table top, After you become accustomed to do- Ing the trick with the one saucer and glass, you may want to try it with twd and even three, I, dishes. my apparatus than the average boy can find in his pocket, is the following novelty coln-catch that always proves amusing. : | Place three coins--quartérs are the size to be preferred--on the backi of your hand, one on the back of the fin gers, another on the back of the palm and the "third on the back of the wrist. See figure 1. Hold your hand with the Sngers pointed up slightly. Easy te Grab Colne Out of Alr Toss the coins into the air. The coin that was on the back of the fin- gers will go highest, the one that was on the palm, next highest, and the one that was on the wrist will net 80 as high as either of these two. bat from yout foot 80 that it lands squarely on your head--both good tricks for the amateur juggler to add to his reper- toire.

Make it gradual and then it will be easier for me to get used to it." "Suits me," agreed Day. And oft he went, dreaming of flowers sleeping under the snow, and baseball bats in dusty closets. "SMOKING MOTHER UNFIT." Must Give Up Cigarettes or Child Rules Judge, How does the smoking mother af- fect the child's atmosphere? Does every puff of her cigarette break down the morale of her little daughter or son? According to the decision of Judge Allyn L. Brown, in the Superior Court of Connecticut, a New London mother must quit smoking or give up her 6-year-old daughter. The woman is Mrs. Adeline Pal- mer Lee, who is suing Dr. Harry M. Lee, surgeon at @ New London hos- pital, for divorce. At the hearing on the matter of the custody it was charged that Mrs. Lee smokes be- tween 400 and 500 cigarettes week- ly. She admitted that she used ciga- rettes, whereupon Judge Brown rul- ed that as long as she had the child she should refrain from cigarettes. "Whatever may be the correct standard for the individual as to the use of cigarettes," Judge Brown said, | "expert testimony in this hearing has demonstrated what common {sensq afirme--liat a 'child of the age of this one will fare better if brought up in an atmosphere con- taminated by smoke from cigar- | ties." According to the opinion of Dr. {John D. Quackenbos, a' specialise' on | mental and moral disease, and two | women physicians, the judge is,to be | commended for his mn. "The mother who smokes before lier children need not expect to have the slightest control over them," Dr. Quackenbos said, "'She has shocked 'the child's sense of morale, broken down the standard of highest wo- manhood and torm down the beauti- fol feminine atmosphere of her homeo."

The prizes were won by "Jack" Sutherland, child's fur {coat; H. C. Nickle, collar; Brig.- Gen. King, sleeping bag for winter |towrs, and Bliss Barnum, ladies' {mink hand bag. . John McKay was introduced by | William Moore. The firm of John [McKay is widely known, having been | established in Kingston in 1859 by the father of the preseat owner and | Froprietor, whose reputation as a citizen and a business man is widely [knorn and appreciated in financial [one business cireles. . The firm has {ever been distinguished by integrity and honorable dealing, qualities that speak through their goods and cre- ate and hold business, no less than prompt and courteous service that animates every department of this, the biggest fur establishment of Eastern Ontario. Mrs. Wright and the other mem- bers of the unemployment relief committee reeeived the Kiwanis salutation in proper form, led by W. J. Keeley, substitute for Harold Hughes.

TE -------------- half of the persons in need through unemployment. She toid of the efforts of the committees in past years when the members went from door to door, and there was never before the efficiency that has been brought into operation this | year, mainly through the energy and |interest of the Kiwanis Club. Speak- ing of the results of her work, she sald it was a regrettable fact that there were some men in Kingston who would not work because they would have to take wages that are less than they demand. A great many difficulties are met with fn ad- ministering the Kiwanis fund. The committee was organized to deal with unemployment, charity being left to the regular poor relief organ- izotions that are carrying on under the churches, etc. that have always been in operation in winter. "Through your efforts," said she, "we wére able to send out over 300 Christmas baskets." ' Mrs. Wright told of some of the housing conditions end asked mem- bere of the club to call at Nos, 209 and 211 Rideau street to eee for themselves some of the worst condi- tions--houses that ere not fit habi- tations in the winter cMmete of Kingston. She was strongly of the opinion that with the co-operation of the schools, health committee and the police more could be done to era- dicate such conditions of suffering than by any unemployment commit- tee. "We have people on our lists representing the fourth gemeration of families have always received poor relief. Nore of them will work. We eupply the neceesities but when the families get any money they use it to obtain luxuries. There are dif- ferent types met with, and while some become threatening and make demands, only two women have as yet found fault, The largest npm- ber have no church." Mrs. Wright concluded her report by asking all to report every case coming within their notice to the committee, Nr, Nickie paid a high tribute to the committee, all of whose mem- bers were stars. He told of the work being done--only the unem- ployed coming within the scope of the committee. "One condition we are up egainst is remts," sald Mr. Nickle. "This, I think, should be met by the municipality. Another is the itinerant. Last year we shel- tered 250 men, but the best we can do for them is give them a pass on to the next town or city if they want to go there, We are taking care of 180 families and we cannot support all who 'come 4m from outside points." He explained the conditions by which the governments would con- tribute ome-third of unemployment velief. This was investigated last November. The federal government was ready to help, but Premier Drury took our application into con- sideration end he is considering it yet. Complaint was made that the city did not take advantage of the government's Sffer. This was not so. The speaker read a telegram he said was sent to the provincial sec- retary and the minister of labor. The dominion government promised help and the provincial government pro- mised to consided the matter. "In my opinion food amd shelter include should pay," said® Mr. Nickle, in con- clusion.

Following this, instead of the custom- ary musical programme, games' were played and a pleasant social hour was spent. ' After the s'orm of Wednesday night the stage experienced some dif- ficulty in getting through the the blocked rowds, and had to return. A number of men went back witn 1t again and shovelled out the roads, so that it' was able to reach Kingston, Naturally some disappointmen: was felt when the result of the league game at Verona became known, where Sydenham lost 3 to 1. Lack of practice and 'eamwork are largely accountable as material at least is not lacking.

Neill, General Manager, Royal Bank, at Annual Meeting Montreal, January 17th (Special). \ ¢ strongest and most important statement ever present. ed, relative to the thoroughness of bank imspections by auditors and thé policy of supervision of credits, was made by C. E. Neill, General Manager of The Royal Bank of Canada, at the annual meeting held at the Head Office. Dealing with the general business of the Bank and the pro- cedure followed by the auditors, Mr. Neill said. to the shares holders; -- 'I wish particularly to draw your attention to the fact that full provision has been made for all bad debts, and that in addie tion, adequate amounts have been set aside to provide for any accounts which may be considered in the doubtful class. hh "In view of the discussions which have recently taken place regarding the obligation of auditors of banks appointed under the provisions of the Bank Act, it is proper that you should be informed that the auditors appointed by the sharcholders of this Bank not only certify to the correctness of the Balance Sheet, but they also approve of the value of the bank's assets as stated therein. The representatives of the auditors, who conduct their investigations of the bank's business throughout the entire year, have access to the statements, correspondence and inspection reports relative to all loans required, and their certification of our Balance Sheet is made only after a fall examination of all credits granted to customers. .In cases where there is any doubt as to the value of a debtor's account, the amount set aside by the bank to take care of any possible loss is approved by the auditors as being sufficient. Every facility is afforded them to examine each and every account in the bank, and they are ene couraged to criticise and make the most detailed investigations of every debt due the bank, with the relative security. "As an indication of how closely the President, Manag- ing Director and Directors of this bank at Head Office control the affairs of the bank, I may tell you that every credit granted of $25,000 and over is approved by them, and there are mo loans at any office of the bank to-day in excess of $285,000, which have not been approved by the Directors at Head Office. Moreover, committees of resident Directors of the bank at. To- . ronto, Winnipeg, Halifax, Quebec and: St. John supervise and s>-spopmmend all loans in their respective districts, and in addi tion, are informed of all credits authorized in other districts." rent and this the municipality |' i The Investment Guide Will Tell You When you put your money into rity you want to know all the e rate of th Trt aoe i ine, tie fate of Susity, where and how payable, the behind the bond.
