QUEEN'S GREAT VICTORY, The winning of both the Intercol- legiate championship and the Eaut- ern Canada championships by Queen's rugby team is a matter of pride, not only to the university, but to the city of Kingston and all East. | ern Ontario. ! Saturday's fine victory over the Argonauts provided the reason for an outbreak of enthusiam such as is seldom seen In this city. Dense crowds surrounded the bulletin boards, and when the final score was announced the friends and sup- porters of Queen's went wild with delight. "Good old Queen's" was an ex- pression commonly heard on the street, and it voiced the sentimeut of every person in the city. The unl- versity is to be heartily ocngratulat- ed on the success that has crowned the efforts of its athletes. They have shown that Queen's has the material out of which championships are made. The hard, untiring work of the officials, the trainers and the members of the team has at last brought to the city of Kingston and its popular university an honor which they richly deserve. The great battle on Saturday, when the far- famed Argos went down to defeal before the irresistible Tri-color, wil! go down in football history as one of the best and most sternly contested gridiron fights ever seen on a Can- adian fleld. It was a brilliant vie- | tory for Queen's, and one that the | boys richly deserved. George Awreg and those who assisted him In train-" ing the team are to be congratulat- ed on the splendid success they hava won. Here's to "Good old Queen's!" YOU DO iT, DOC. Don't talk baby talk to your baby. That's what Dr. James Sinnot Greene, founder and director of the National Hospital for Speech Dis- orders, says, It leads, he declares, to faulty enunciation in later years on the part of the young hopeful.

The scene: The happy parents, the baby, the relatives, and the neighbor who follows Dr. Green's advice. The neighbor advances. She picks up the squirming babe: "You are delightful, my dear; I find it causes mo great enjoyment Shus to hold you in proximity to my person." Would she be unanimously voted | looney? Would she or wouldn't she, Doc, we just ask you that?

You need glasses, all rizht, and you know in your heart that you should have had them long ago. Why do so many more folk wear glasses now than did a generation ago? Well, there are two reasons, a bad one and a good one. The bad reason ie that the nervous strain on which our lives are ordered nowadays hits most of us in the same place-- the eyes. They give out." Nature has given her toll for abuse. And most of us do abuse our eyes ecandalously, The good reason is that a-genera- tion Ago most people suffering from defective vision didn't know it. We said a boy in school was stupid, while often he was merely suffering from eyestrain. We're wiser now. More common sense arrives In the world ity will bave enough of #t to stop abusing its eyes. THE OTHER SON. Something at last has been said of the Prodigal Son's brother. That much slighted individual is general- ly looked upon as a snarling fellow, too Jealous of his kid brother, and stingily inclined when the fatted calf was to be killed. . But he was legally justified in such an attitude. And'for the proof Prof. Albert Clay, of Yale Univer sity, points to the Code of Hammur- abi, oldest laws of man extant, said to have been written--that {s,chisel. led in stone--some 4,600 years ago. The fourth law of Hammaurabl says: "If a son sayyinto his father, 'not my father' the house, fleld, plantation, ' servants, progerty, an'. mals, he shall go forth; and his portion"to the full amount his fath- er shall give him. His father shall say to him 'not my son,' from the neighborhood of the house he shall go." This, Prof. Clay explains, estabe lishes that the Prodigal Son was le- Sally dead, and entitled to nothing, So when he came snooping around perfect right to know what he want- Prodigal Son's brother was "within the law." ed.. Note that Big Brother didn't! ? x AJ Ce & 30 wT THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. and had Ma open some of last year preserves, didn't bother about ti? law. In the days of Christ and in the days of Hammurabi some men had souls above the law's allowance. INVITATIONS TO RIDE. No one drives an auto long on the public roads before becoming famil- far with the wayside traveller who asks for a ride. Sometimes in the evening such pedestrians will discon- cert one on lonely roads by making an arresting gesture. Begging a ride is becoming quite common. Very often the driver cannot check his speed until it is too late to answer the pedestrian's appeal. Men with good Intentions are often in doubt as to whether they should accept these passengers, and there are sev- eral reasons why it pays to be care- ful. The driver of an auto has a right to be suspicious of men who spring from the dark into the glare of the headlights and motion for a ride. Often the action closely resembles a hold-up. Such men should receive no consideration. The night is no time to make requests. It should be remembered, however, hat taking passengers is a risky business. If the guest is injured he may sue the owner of the car for damages. Then again ther are thugs roaming the highways who from the comfortable back seat find it easy-to hold up a driver. The ac- commodating autoist may feel cold steel under his ear while his hand ison the throttle. Granting free rides to unknown wayfarers should be confined %o broad daylight and well travelled roads. BUYING THE TOYS, Some Mttle gins will have big, flaxen-haired dolls smiling from their stockings on Ohristmas morning. Some little boys will have toy aero- planes, bomb-throwers and all the other paraphernalia of modern nure- ery warfare. Some other little girls and boys won't, But 4hose whose dollics are (the ordimary sawdust kind with eyes star- ing, it must be confessed rather stupidly, in front of them, and those whose toy soldiers are just everyday fellows, are to be congratulated. The toys have known it all along. They have known, too, that the humbler ones of their assemblage, now so shiny with new paint in a thousand toy shops over thq land, are due for a far happier lifa than their pretentious brothers and sisters who are destined for ith: homes of the rich. For a toy's happiness Is measured by the lovo that is lavish- ed upon it. And the child who has one simple toy thinks far more of it than he or she who has a new trinket for every mood. Psychologists are beginning to find thie out. They have worked out a whole involved system of toy teach. ings, in which the child mind dwells principally on simple objects, plain contours and brave, not delicate, colors, So if a momentary sigh comes to you because you cannot afford to have Santa Clause bring "the best there is" to your little lad or lassie, smile stead. They will be all the better for it. 1 | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR BY SAM HILL Comfort To Thin Girls 'Tis nice that charity can hide A multitude of sins; Put these long skirts are handy, too, For hiding skinny shins. -- Obnrery of What has become of the old-fash- toned widow who thought she ought to dress ir black for a year after she had collected the life ins ce? every year.
