At the annual commencement at McMaster University Tuesday night the convocation address was deliv- ered by Principal Bruce Taylor, Queen's University. He urged the graduates to develop their {in- dividuality and not to overwork. "We don't live to work," he said. "No one {s complete unless he has a fine, genuine strain of idleness in him. We don't want to work so hard as to shut off the wider pos- sibilities of living. I think there is a tendency here to standardization all round. Men think you ought to belong to Rotary, or Kiwanis, or the Elks, or something like that and if a man stands off he is re- garded as curious. To be yourself you need a certain amount of lei- sure. Mere business tends to be a habit, perhaps without a purpose. That is not a virtue. It is a far greater vir- tue to sit still and do nothing. What is needed is method, to economize time. He advised his hearers to work before breakfast, from six to eight and to get out of the 'verandah habit of rocking, rocking, rocking, and interminable talking." He also urged them to read plenty of good literature and to have some hobby which would distract them on oc- casions from the ever-pressing cares of life.

In connection with the accident which occurred near Sunbury on Sunday, it is stated by a lady who was in the car that struck the lad that the party in the car were mot- oring to Sunbury and were just ap- proaching the village when the boy was sighted coming along the road on a beycle. The car was on the grade and the engine was shut off and the car allowed to coast down the hill. The boy on the wheel crossed the road three times confusing the driver, with the re- sult that in order to save striking the lad, he had to force the car to the side of the road and in doing so struck a telegraph pole. One of the ladies in the car was injured when the car struck the pole, she suffer- ing a fracture of two ribs. ---------- Uncle Sam Watch. Brockville, May 21.--That the United States Border Patrol is keeping close watch upon the move- ment of motor boats in this section of the St. Lawrence is illustrated by the experience of a Brockville boat as he was making for Oak Point on a pleasure jaunt.

LETTERS To The Editor A Plea for the Birds. Kingston, May 20.--(To the Edi- tor): Have you space in your valu- able paper for a letter of protest and pleading on behalf of the birds ? My attention was called to an item in a newspaper headed "Bags Big Eagle," which proceeds to clap one Patrick Kurk on the back as "a big game hunter" for bringing down with his beautiful gun a beautiful eagle, which was fishing on the shore near Crofton. A few years ago as I was p along West Clergy street at dusk, I heard a soft unusual call in the tree above my head. Looking up, I saw an exquisite little owl. I talked to it and it talked to me. Next Evening a newspaper item told how a certain individual, whose name I am glad to have forgotten, "brought down with a well-aimed shot" a rare and beau- tiful specimen of the owl family on Clergy street west. As the little creature was not more than fifteen feet from the side-walk, it was cer- tainly amazing marksmanship! Now we hear of a citizen passing his hours of recreation in shooting blackbirds in the centre of the city. A gentleman informed me that a friend of his was an eye-witness of this horror. As a quivering little bunch of feathers fell struggling to the ground, the mate in. the branches above sent forth cries of terror and anguish that might have moved a heart of stone. This morning we hear that the sime citizen augmented by two others, are engaged in the same ne- farious sport. I submit, is it fair ing that the sensibilities of our best class of citizens--and by 'best class" I mean not blue blood, nor accumulat- ed wealth, but God's own aristocracy, they who pray best, because they love best "all things both great and small"'--1I repeat, is it fair that such should bg subjected to this unneces- sary heart-anguish, to accommodate the hideous instifict for destruction which seems to possess some individ- uals? At any season, unnecessary slaughter is murder, but in the nest- ing season (and who shall say that that beautiful eagle had not a mate and nest, as well as his little bro- ther, the blackbird?) is aggravated murder. . A class of twenty-five boys, rang- ing in age from nine to fifteen years, comes to my house weekly for in- struction in singing. They are not namby-pamby boys, I assure you, but full of pep and the joy of life--man- ly boys. I have been delighted to notice their general interest-in bird and animal life of which we often talk together before and after the lesson. What is going to be the effect upon these boys and their as- sociates, when they find "respected citizens" slaughtering unhindered these very creatures we love to talk about? If people generally would only realize that our present life is edu- cating us for the life beyond, where, ("saith the Lord') "they shall not hurt nor destroy," surely the word "sport" as expressive of wanton cruelty and destruction, would be expurgated from our dictionaries. --ANNA B. H. DOBBS. An Answer to Mr. Bell. Hamilton, May 15.--(To the Edi- tor): Re Mr. Ralph P. Bell's imagin- ary correction of my recent letter, may say that my figures were taken from the official Government Blue Book reports, which show the spread of expenditure in Canada for the manufacture and convertion of 1,-| 400,000 cords of pulpwood into fin- ished paper products in Canada would be $90,000,000 or over, so my figures are exactly correct, and well within the mark. In fact we all get our figures from the same source, vis.: the official government reports, but if Mr. Bell trys to expunge the overhead, profits, etc., from them, and endeavors to manipulate the figures to suit his own purpose, then readers must con- clude that it is Mr. Bell, and not Mr. Sealey, who is "glaringly inaccurate" and who displays either "a total lack LADIES' TAN SHOES LADIES' CREPE SOLE OXFORDS (EVERYTHING THAT'S NEWEST TRUNKS, SUIT CASES CLUB BAGS BOYS' OXFORDS Just like Men's GIRLS' PATENT SANDALS LADIES' SATIN SHOES LADIES' GREY SUEDE SHOES REE RR NO RR RE ER ERR REE, The Abernethy Shoe Store Kingston's Biggest Home Furnishers FOR THE JUNE BRIDE Will hold the allegiance of all hearts for the next 'few Choice gifts for the Wedding Day and later.

Why not Mr. Bell come in and help us save that immense expenditure for Canada? The dealers and middle men are the only ones in Canada to be affect- ed, and they are pretty shrewd peo- ple, and can easily apply them- selves to other profitable activity. Why not help organize the present United States purchasers of raw pulpwood into manufacturers and converters into finished paper pro- ducts in Canada right now in pre- paration for the inevitable embargo that is sure to come ? The United States representatives on the Corillian power development said to the Ottawa government the other day that they would invest in the development if they got the power to export. The Corflian development would grind and further develop a very large part of our 1,400,000 cords now exported, so. why not put the Phone 147 for servich embargo on at once, for both power and pulpwood, and they will and develop both here. They probably expend $100,000,000 her in so doing, and start Canada . Ling as she ought to and will This would largely help to remedy cur unfavorable trade balance with the U.S. a Yours truly, ' --W.
