As the season opcns the sports writers, with the exception of Terry Burke of the Star, give them little chance. He bets $10 on them at 200 to 1 at the restaurant of Tony Murallo, a gambler, in the Broadway district. From the first game, in which Whit. per, the Philadelphia pitcher, is killed with a rifle bullet through the heart after smashing out a home. run, death or injury cripples the Blues' opponents. Both - Whitper and Larry Doyle, the Blues' rookie shortstop and ex-Fordham star, had been attentive to Clark's pretty daughter, Frances, and she had shown her preference for Larry. When four Boston players are ine jured, Burke learns that Sid Stream, notorious New York gunman, wreck- ed their taxi with a rifle bullet through a tire. Stream is found dead and Terry receives by mail the "People who know tao much die!" Terry has the news first also when Dirkin, Chicago star, drops dead from poison after hitting a homer. The poison comes from a phonograph needle fixed in the handle of his favorite bat Pietro, the Chicago bat boy, disappears mysteriously. Masked gunmen truss up Terry, question him, gag him, and warn him he knows too much. He swears his beats are due tp lucky hunches. Both Terry and Doyle have been suspected by Detective Kelly, and Clark sends Newark. Larry plays good bal) there, is sold to Boston. and is he- coming one of the most popular players in the league.

I called the hospital before I came. over here.- He'll be out tomorrow, but will feel pretty rocky for a couple of days un- til the effects wear off. He had a lucky" break. He told them at the hospital that his nose tickled and he rubbed it with his fingers. The dust annoyed him and he tried to blow it away. He sneezed and everything went black in front of him." "Saved by a sneeze," Klein said. "If he had been minding his own business he wouldn't have been in the mess he is in. That goes for you, Poultry Keepers.

There has been considerable dis- cussion about rearranging the 'high school curriculum to do away. with subjects that will be of little value to- the student in later life, and sub- stitute others which will prove mare beneficial, observes Alice Ross in the Sault Star. : Yet one of the most important teachings of "all has been forgotten --the teaching of manners. Each year hundreds of students graduate from our secondary schools sadly lacking poisé and a nice manner with which to meet the public. This, of course, is not the fault of the teachers. They naturally ex- pect the child's parents will see to its manners. Unfortunately too many parents are apt to neglect this all- important item beyond the rudi- ments - of . politeness. Lack of child training is evident when we see the number of cases of juvenile delin- quency. If the continuation schools had a class wherein the student, who lacks such training at home, could learn how to act in public and in general develop a pleasing manner, they would do more towards giving that student a start in life than all the teachings of languages and other such subjects, 'often forgotten once the student graduates. } When a girl or boy is interviewed England Takes to Milk Milk as a healthful and refreshing beverage is recéiving widespread ac- ceptance thropghout Great Britain where the opening of scores of "milk bars" in the moré, populous centres has been a great blessing to the dairy farmers who have witnessed a con.

Any police eon-< stable can submit to such tests as he thinks fit any motor vehicle at any . time, 'and may refuse to permit an unsafe vehiele to be driven until re- ; pairs are made. The Act says:-- "Every police constable and every officer appointed for the purpose of carrying out' the provisions of this Act may require the driver of any motor vehicle to submit such motor vehicle, together with its equipment and any trailer attached thereto, to such examination and tests as such constable or officer may deem expe- dient. * "Where any such vehicle, equip- ment or trailer is found to be in a dangerous or: unsafe condition the . constable or officer making the tests may require the driver of such vehicle to proceed to have such vehicle, equipment or trailer placed in a 'safe condition and may order such vehicle or trailer to be removed from the highway and may prohibit .the operation of such vehicle or trailer on the highway until such vehicle, equipment or trailer has been placed in a safe condition." "Highway," in this Act, includes any- road, strect, bridge or other place 'used by the general public for the passage of vehicles." The provisions of the sections we have quoted are theréfore at the disposal of the city police as well as county and provin- cial officers. : Provinc'al traffic men especially seem to be making excellent use of this part of the Act. On one occasion a heavy truck was ordered off the road in a nearby town because one tire was worn-to the danger mark, held there in a garage for three days until the driver secured a new tire. On another occasion a passing truck was sent to the 'garage because some spokes in one wheel were broken, re- leased only- when repairs had been made. Ottawa 'police thus can do more than institute prosecutions of the drivers of unsafe vehicles. It is in their power to make certain, that the cause of offence is removed. Children Know "Ideal Parent 2,000 of Them Say Fairness and Firmness Are First Qualities The_"ideal" parent is the embodi- ment of fairness and firm discipline, in the opinion of 2,000 children from 10 to 20 years of age registered in a nation;wide survey by the National "Congress: of Parents and Teachers, ° says a story in 'the (Christian Science Monitor. The qualities most admir- ed by these children wére seen as in- herent and as embodying the thought -of Shakespeare, "First to thyself be true. ..." Miss Alice Sowers of Washington, D.C., parent education specialist of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, describing the results of the survey, told a conference of the hone economics extension service of Rutgers University that it showed children resented being told by par- ents that they were too young to know what they were talking about." "Parents who talk that way are killing the child's opportunities for intelligent expression and conversa- tion between parent and child," she said... "Before long, the child has no respect for the opinion of the parent who talks that way." Miss Sowers stressed that the sur- "vey revealed that children saw fair- ness and firm, understanding discip- line as 'more to be desired than wealth, only a few who responded to the questionnaire linking money witn successful parenthood. The majority found that all that was required fin- ancially was enough to provide a comfortable home and education. Kindness to the children's pets was another prerequisite to understand- ing and affection between parent and child, Miss Sowers continued, adding that one 10-yeariold boy wrote that while he never expected to be a fa- ther, if he ever was, he "would never lick his little boy's dog." Miss Sowers stressed that good manners was one of the things chil- dren most appreciate in their par- ents, Several replies to the ques- tionnaires. contained complaints re fathers walking into the room in stocking feet when they were onter- taining their young friends, ' Many of the children wanted a room of their own where they could play with their friends in a congeni- al atmosphere without the presence of an older person, In addition to the actual finger- prints, the Criminal Record files will be similarly safe-guarded.
