. '4h "town or THE BOYâ€"â€" GIVE HIM A , CHANGE Inspiring Talk of Jacob A. Rlls a Warm Friend of the Boys Everywhere " Jacob A. Riis, the well known philanthropic worker. New York, gave 'n address in Toronto which might e“ be defined as "The .Gospel of :oy." " . “A hey is a steam boiler with steam always up,” he said. “He has a safety- vaive‘. You can sit on the safety-valve if you like, but/if you do you are an ’ awful fool. Gangs are formed because there are no playgrounds. , The preg- Vnant hours of a boy's life day are from 7 till 9. If you know"what your boy does within those hours your boy is safe. We are rehabilitating the whole of our democracy. '..ne young ‘seek bad pleasure because the good ones have been denied them. Don't. put a policeman in charge of the boys' games. The worst of all is to leave nobody in charge of them. The boy in the playground is on soud ground. Play is the normal occupation of the child, which gives him the best grip upon character. You learn by doing- I would go into the saloon and get ' drunk and :tay drunk rather than live in the old style of tenement. “The bcys' club is better a hundred times than the policeman's club." "When .you put stripes upon a boy rf sixteen v .‘you kill a citizen.” “When you grow ‘rideals in the slums you have the slum ion the hip.” “A boy can't be both good and bad at the same time." The greatest thing in the \ orld was ,‘j‘to give the boy a chance, for it is "impossible to make a whole man out (of haif .9. boy. Give them a chance, and they will generally do for them 'selves. Further, he mentioned that. in providing these playgrounds, es- pecially those along the water, which he thought to be extra goou, whole- ‘some trys‘ting places Were made for :the young couples who otherwise met 'aonly at the dance halls or on the :street. 2 should not get the idea. that immigrant children were not as good as those .born in this country. Mr. Riis thus described himself: "Forty-three years ago a young man, an immigrant, was walking homeless in New York. His only companion was a poor llack-and-tan dog which followed him everywhere and was his only friend. At night when he lay down to sleep a policeman would come along and :tick his hand ir his ribs ,.:ar.d with rough voice bid him ‘move :on.’ One October night it was so cold lIIEIII IIIth nIvII-BIIIII: In Rapidlty of Advancement tthoung 5 He also asked that people ‘ that unless he could find selter in. some place he would freeze to death. The only place left was the police station, and there he went and im- vplored for anight's rest. He had to leave his dog outside. In a fvul room. .amid toughs, thieves and bums, with wormin crawling all over the place, he lay down and tried to sleep. He slept for a short time and awoke with a start. He knew something had hap- ;,pened. He felt for his mother’s locket which was around his neck, and it was gone. He tried to get the Police Inspector to do something for him. butrthe only satisfaction he got there was the query ‘Where did you rel it?’ Something broke‘loose- within that boy and he told the Inspector what he thought of the whole place. and the Inspector ordered the ‘door- mum to put him out. He was pushed ,out, and there on the doorstep was Jbis little dog, which had waited all night for him. The dog sprang at aithe doorman and fastened his teeth fin his calf. With a shriek of pain “he seized the dog, and, whirling it above his head , dashed it to the ground. What did the boy (.0? Well, I will not tell you What. he did. I was that boy.” A FAMOUS PLAYTHING IIChlldrcn’c To'y Worth $2,500â€"Japark cee Belief About Dolls â€"_. What is the most famous toy in history? Vile would give the palm not -:to any elaborate mechanical contri. vance or lifelike doll, but to the sim- ple, bright stone that in 1867 a Dutch farmer found some Boer children using as a plaything. For the farmer sent the stone to the Cape for examination and the re- sult was the discovery of the diamond fields of South Africa. And the child's plaything found its way to the Paris Exhibition, where it sold for £500. According to a Japanese belief, dolls sometimes come alive, acquiring soul in process of being played with I y successive generations of children. Food is provided for them and they are treated with great care. lest neglect should bring trouble upon the household. One pretty story tells how a childless husband and wife borrowed a doll that had gained a soul, fed and clothed it, and deservedly prospered thereafter. ' All this is in utter contrast will- the unpleasant theory of Varro about dolls. He held that the This gives to little Romans at Christ‘aasâ€"dhal is to say, at the Saturnaliaâ€"represenl‘ ed original sacrifices of human beings to the,infernal godâ€"London Chron- icle.

Firm Friendships In fact, his professioinal career has been one long series of theSe firm friendships. First it was'Lord Kit- chener who admired the personal bravery and capability of the young officer in Egypt and gave him the ofioial push that landed him in the position of commander; then it was King Edward, who first offered him '2 a title and then, when he declined the honor, made him a rear~admirai; later it was Winston Churchill, who tell a victim-to the personality of, the square-jawed naval officer, and who. when he‘ went to the Admiralty, lost no time in making him his naval sec- retary;. and finally King George, who has made himhis especial protege. g A' Rising Hope Beatty is looked upon as the rising hope of the British navy and a future first lord in succession to the illus- trious chosen ones, like “Tug” Wilson and Lord Fisher, who have helped to keep the British Armada in the fore- front of the world's fleets, in efficien- cy as well as in numbers. So deter- mined are those in charge of the navy to pass the young rear-admiral through the intervening steps that, in one case, a. special order-in-council was necessary to over-ride the regulations of the service which stood in his way. It was when King Edward wanted to‘ make him a rear-admiral. So rapid had been Beatty's advancement that he had not been able to oomply with the regulation which sets forth that, before he can be promoted to the position of rear-admiral, a captain must serve at Past six years in a time of peace. His Career Beatty was born in 1871. Thirteen years later he entered the navy as a midshipman. His first real oppor- tunity to distinguish himself came in the Soudan in 1898, and he lost no time in proving his bravery. In es- pecially trying circumstances he was quite unexpectedly called on to com- mand the gunboat flotilla and so well did he handle his little fleet that be attracted the attention ofthe greatest soldier of the present day, the grim, stern Lord Kitchener. As a_conse- quence of the latter’s high praise, Beatty was raised to the position of commander, awarded the Distinguish- ed Service Order, mentioned in official despatches, given a medal and decor- ated with the Order'of Medjidie, feurth class. Then followed a couple of‘years of inaction. When the Boxer rising broke out in China, young Bea'tty was in the thick of it. Again he was mentioned in official despatchcs, awarded the medal with clamps and promoted to the rank of caplain for conspicuous service. Incidentally he was wounded and laid up for some time. ' Upon his return to England he was taken up by King Edward. Churchill and Beatty Before King Edward died, Beatty had attracted the attention of \Vin- ston Churchill, who confessed to friends that what he liked about Beatty was his strong personality and the serious way in which he too':-: his profession. There are admirals in the British navy who have never ever. smelled the Smoke of the actual war- fare. Beatty is not one of those and Mr. Churchill himself a man of action, liked Beatty's record of actual achievement. When IvII‘. Churchill began his reforms which added to the fighting strength of the ‘British navy, it was to Beatty, largely, that he went for advice. And, in order that he might have the constant counsel of the youthful rear-admiral, Churchill made him his naval secretary. Then 'when the work of reformation was almost completed and the hour of Lotual test seemed close at hand, he launched his protege n the high seed in command of a p wer squadron.

R. Drayton, manager of the Vancouver Financial Corpor- .atio.n, who returned from a business trip to the upper country. “The people,” he says, "are frugal, sober, thrifty, industrious and deeply religious and although they have peculiar cus- toms ihat run counter to twentieth century civilization, I could not but admire the manner in which they have transformed a veritable wilder- ness into an earthly paradise. I think that these people, despite their ways, constitute a" ya.ujabie economic asset as they do “not. ship their. money out of the country like many aliens.

The emâ€" peror followed this up with a rescript to the army calling attention to the number of duels caused by officers insulting their comrades or civilians. This was in .the nature of a warning to the officers to strive against such practices. It concluded: “Self-control and restraintmust be cultivated as manly virtues."

It will be located in the new agricultural 'district across the river from Sacramento and is in- tended to be a meeting-place for the farmer with his produce to sell direct- ly to the citizens. Located immediate- ly adjacent to the river landings and present wholesale warehouse district, it is figured in 1930, when the metro- politan area of Sacramento zhould be much over 260,000 population, that this market at West Sacramento will be in the most central location that could be wished. In designing the the market, the architects have had in mind the experience of Rochester, Albany, Montreal, Buffalo, Minneapo- lis, Paris, and other cities of France and England.

Notwidhstanding the enormous increase in population in Canada in the past few years, it is more than gratifying to be able to record that the fight which the National Sanitarium Association are put- ting up against the “White plague”â€" consumptionâ€"45 proving a winning one. Prior to 1896 deaths from Consumption were on the increase every year.
