Harry Nixon, minister of game and fisheries, has announced. The-areas are: perior Junction-Fort William branch "of the Canadian National Railway, and that area east of the C.P.R. and C.N.R. from Blgwood to Wes- treo and south of the road from Westree to the Quebec boundary near New Liskeard. "This is one of Ontario's most critical years, and we need every cent we can get in United States exchange from American hunters," Mr. Nixon said. "Hence, we feel we should open these two districts to moose hunters -- one of the highest classes of sport for men who visit Canada." Certain restrictions, however, will be Imposed regarding length of season and particularly with re- + gard to shooting near the Heenan highway, it was stated, ot Sees Mixed Farms Increase In West Sir Edward Beatty Says It Will Develop Logically.

A prizefighter and _ his girl friend entered a fashionable res- taurant and ordered a large meal. "When they had finished the waiter presented the - bill. The prizefighter paid, and then suddenly hit the waiter in the eye. Outside the fighter lighted a cigar, "A fine waiter that chap," ha "told his friend. "Gave us perfect service. I expect to dine there again tomorrow." "If he's such a fine waiter," she said, "why did you give him that black eye?" "I like him for a waiter," ex- plaiged the fighter. "And when I go back there tomorrow I'll have no trouble picking him out." Movie Fan: "And so you wrote the scenario to that wonderful picture?" | Author (whose plot has been so altered that it is bardly recognizable): "No, 1 only wrote the knock on the door in the opening scence." The circus strong man rode out on horseback to challenge a far- mer whose great strength had gained him a reputation. He en- tered the farmyard, tied up his horse and approached the farm- er. _ "Hey," he said, "I've heard a lot about you, and have come u Jong way to see which is the bet- ter man," - ' Without answering, the farm- er seized the intruder, hurled him --over-the-fence into the road, and returned to his work. a When the loser had recovered _his breath, the farmer growled: "Have you anything more to say ?? haps - you'll be good enough to throw me my horse." .

But surveys show thut about 40% of safes tested by fire fail, This is logical when we investi- gate many of the receptacles sold under the name "fireproof." In some of these safes 'we find the walls are only an inch thick, whereas in a proper, full-strength safe, it should be approximately six inches. Then we find all types of insulation, some merely con- . sisting of an air space. Large_in- stitutions with branches, having fire experience, know the unre- liability of many so-called "safes." Though more able to take losses, they do not take chances. The wise firm does not trifle in mak- ing certain he really has reliable protection. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1.
