a* Watchdog Will Guard Quints Great Dare Purchased by The Gvardians of Five Little The police constable on night duty before the home of the Dionne quintuplets is to have comâ€" pany during his lonely watch. And maybe, just maybe, Cecile, Â¥yonne, Marie, Annette and Emâ€" ilie will have a pet all their own to play with this winter. A Great Dane watchdog has been purchased in North Bay by the guardians of the famous little girls. Not quite a year old, the dog is to be trained strictly as a watchdog and will make the nightly rourds with the constable on guard at the Dafoe Hospital. The quintuplets aren‘t allowed to have pet dogs and it was beâ€" lKeved they wouldn‘t be allowed to play with the Great Dane. Resigns from Chairmanship The Hon. N. W. Rowell, chief justice of Ontario, and chairman of the Reyal Commission on Doâ€" minionâ€"Provincial â€" Relations, has resizned from public life. Mr. Rowell has been suffering from illâ€"health for some time and had tendered his resignation â€"some months ago, Prime Minister King reveals. The government delayed accepting it in the hope his reâ€" covery would allow him to carry on his duties. King To Receive Elk And Beavers On His Visit to Canada Next Summer He Will be Offered When the King visits Canada next summer he will be offered "two elk and two black beavers" as his right under an ancient ple Ige. Hon. Vincent Massey said last week. The Canadian High Commisâ€" sioner declared the charter of the Hudson‘s Bay Company provided that â€" "whenever the Sovercign visits the territory of the Goverâ€" nor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson‘s Bay" he shail be presented with two elk and two black beavers. "King of Canada" The offering will be made "on some appropriate occasion," Mr. M ssey added. He declared His Majesty will reach Canada "not as a visitor but as the King of Canada," and that the Dominion is happy at the comâ€" pliment paid her. When wrapped in earth I lie apart, The sweet white roots will find my heart, And, by their silent alchemy, Transform me into plant, or tree; To nreathe again ; to taste the bliss Of wind and rain and dawn‘s first To share the Godâ€"born energy Of singing star and throbbing sea; Assured that Winter‘s blasts but bring The thousand ecstacies of Spring. â€"Mary B. Huber, in Canadian Poetry Magazine. Chicken Thief Gets 61 Years C. Schneider, of Kitchener, last week heard sentences totalâ€" ling 61 years passed on him by Magzistrate Watt for chicken theft, faise pretences, escaping eustody and possessing an unâ€" registered revolver.

He decided to take a holiday, and when someone asked him where he was going, he replied: "I‘m going to paste a big picture of Clark Gable on the outside of the car and drive until someone asks, ‘Who‘s that?" _ That‘s where I‘m stopping." "Well, did you get any surprise present for your birthday?" “;Yes. rather. I got a book from Bill I lent you last year."

Humiliated, he goes around with a chip on his shoulder, putting all his hopes on the election. To anyone who refuses to listen to his pompous oraâ€" tions, he offers insults.

It will bring a saving to motorâ€" ists, becavse the process makes it possible for a return up to 80 per cent. in gallons of gasoline from each barrel of crude oil, compared with an average return under toâ€" day‘s refining process of 44 per cent. METAL THAT "SHIVERS" A new magnetic metal that can "shiver" and turn on the heat was announced last week at the Batâ€" telle Institute, Columbus, O, The shivering of this metal consists in losing its magnetism. It can be made to do this at any temâ€" perature from 150 below zero to 1100 above. This makes possible use of magâ€" nets of the new alloy for numerous automatic controls. Losing or reâ€" gaining their magnetism, they operâ€" ate electric switches. They can be made to turn on the heat at 50, and shut it off when the temperature again rises.
