James Wright No. 49 Hello, England or Elsewhere aA Wabigoon, Feb. 15.-- Whilst sitting alone in my room my mind began wandering in the following strain: I am not an accomplished air- 'man. I do not hold a pilot license, nor have I made the Grand Tour. But I have the priceless privilege! of sharing the joys of a six-valve wireless set. There are two speed- ometers on our set, labelled 'Selec- | tor' and divided into 100 sections | ---whether m.p.g. or total distance ior the journey, our expert did not | explain. There are also six lamps which, when opened up, throw a dim religious light on the roses on the wall-paper. At the farther end of a black cord a graceful motor horn raises its swan-like neck and: its wide open mouth. ! At intervals the horn with the wide mouth announces "This is KDKA; occasionably the cats (presumably on the housetop) in-' terfere when you expect some- thing good, but these can general-¢ ly be shaken off by changing the speed. ¥ By consulting the radio digest daily, we find the proper lighting- up times; but sometimes we can go over the whole track and only get one or two stations. : So I stay up until it is time to do morning chores, also on Sun- day mornings; and fixing on the carfiaps, fly away on the wings of the wireless to the uttermost corners of the continent, and by the time light is dawwning I have visited every city on the American continent. ' After spending a very pleasant all-night with our Ittle work-box, we shoulder our axes, get into the bush to cut pulpw ood. Recently we had a special week of international broad-casting, and during that week I was deter- mined to listen to England, sitting up night after night. While twid dling the Tuner, I came across some music but alas it was Calg- ary. A minute or two for listen- ing, away again into the starlit night among stations sending out their iddy-umpty-iddy. Then suddenly there came some more music which sent the whole family crazy which, unfortunately ended in a disappointed howl, for the rest of the time, I combed out the ether in the 1immeddiate neighbourhood without results. Pu 1 was fighting the Demon of tak xr a was turning all the the night who was turning all the available cats into fiddlestrings and my wave length was lost.

Here'and There Major-General Sir Fabian Ware, | vice-chairman of the Imperial War © been Graves Commission, who has visiting in Canada during October, Ras been recalled to England muck earlier than he expected. Prior to sailing on the Canadian Pacific liner, Montelare, from Montreal, he expressed the hope that he would be able to come to Canada again next spring so that he could give Canadians in the West some idea of what the Imperial Commission is doing in caring for the graves of western youths who perished dur- ing the war. Robert L. Rice, Jr., of Boston, and 4. Y. Cole, of Harvard, chances when they attempted gliers at the end of October. lan summer weather they ran 'within a few hours into a bad storm 'which filled their camoe with dmto unconsciousness. #® fire-ranger's hut where stayed a few days until the abated. the neighborhood and were none the worse for their perilous trip when they finally reached Montreal.

It is feared they had no eyes fior the world marvels which were unrolled before them on the tour, since it is stated they fell in love at first sight and could only see each other. The marriage was | performed by the Rev. Father Fran- { cis P. Duffy, chaplain ef the "Fight- {ing Sixty-rimth," a regiment com- manded by the bride's father during the war. Good reading for Canadian Paci- fic shareholders is furnished in the September statement of gross earn- ings, working expenses and net profits. It has been the most fa- vorable month for the company in a long time. The gross earnings were $18,909,071, the greatest shown in any month since Octcber, 1924. Operating expenss2s 'were $12,641,~ 452 and the difference between the two, the net profits $6,267,619, an increase of $1,719,973 over the cor- responding month of last year. Net earnings for the first thwee quar- ters of this year, ending Septem- ber 50th, is $1,190,039 greater than the 1924 figures, despite a decrease in gross earnings of over four and a half million dollars. This was made possible by the company's policy of rigid economy. To bring the Arctic within the scope of tourist traffic is the object of the Marquis M. N. degli Abizzi, | winter sports director at Lake Pla- | cid, who is organizing pack horse | trips of thirty days' duration next year from the Canadian . Pacific Rockies as far north as the Colum- bia Ice Fields within the Arctic Circle. "We are going to swim our horses and outfit across the Sas- ; katchewan River and eamp near | the sources of the Athabasca which empties into Great Slave Lake and" thence into the Arctic," the Mar- quis asserts. The first of these trips is scheduled between June 28 wd July 27 next year. ¢ took big! to. travel by canoe from Rouyn to Ani Al- '¢hough they started in beautiful In- | half * Jmelted snow and almost froze them * Fortunately i hey arrived in the nick of time at | they They were prospecting in | aN Nd NH Ee Te SR Re : ERE | : i 2) | The New Marconiphone !
