"It is unfortunate," Mr. Bettinâ€" ger pointed out, "that our formal education, in schools and universiâ€" ties, should be conterned with the acquirement of knowledge which sooner or later is forgotten. A return to Nature, not only for recreation but for reeducation was urged this week by Hoyland Bettinâ€" ger, Boston artist and naturalist. For Reâ€"Education As Well As Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was flanked by policemen and detecâ€" lives as he arrived in New York for his second visit to the United States since he began a selfâ€"imâ€" posed exile abroad.

Artist Urges Us Back To Nature The International Nickel Comâ€" pany Hotel, which houses miners working at Levack Mine, 40 miles west of Sudbury, had a new kind of breakâ€"in one day last month and although the culprit was rapidly ejected, an entrance was made again, this time through the front door., The sound of smashing glass brought hotet attendants running to a bedrcoom on the main floor, and found a oneâ€"yearâ€"old deer in the room examining the bed. The deer had jumped through the glass window and escaped injury. The animal then strolled into the kitchâ€" »2 and after a careful scrutiny marched into the rotunda, where a 1umber of miners were sitting iround reading papers, writing letâ€" lers, étc. The unexpected guest was ushâ€" rred out of the front door, but when it showed reluctance to leaxe was reâ€"admitted â€" through the doorâ€"for fear it would try another of the windows.

The Big Quostion Mark: What stand will Premier Hepburn take in the next federal election? (It is recalled that while Mr. Hepburn has stated he will not aid Mr. King, he has not gone the length of definitely stating that Conservative Leader R. J. Manion can count on him for all he can give). ‘The Opposition busied itself with inquiries into various "deals" the Government is reported to have made with such companies as the Lake Sulphite, Abitibi and Pulpâ€" wood Supply . . .. The Lake Suk phite Company were granted large areas of extremely valuable timber but before they reached production they went into liquidation. The Abitibi company has been in liqui dation for upwards of seven years and the government has been in the "picture" in every attempt at reorganization. 9! unemployment . ...

The situation imâ€" proves not a whit while over the past nine years $900,000,000 has been spent in the Dominion for un employment relief, direct and inâ€" direct. A constructive policy of works projects is indicated as the immediate solution.

Master John Kershaw ably demonstrated that the age of chivalry is not yet dead in England as he presented Queen Mary with a g:rse, when she officiated at the opening of the new holiday home for working mothers at Stansted, Eng. After making the presentation, Master Kershaw bowed like a closing jackknife, but his performance evidently aroused the royal mirth of the dueen Mother. A new fishing leader, which will not fray, split or become brittle, is invisible in water and possesses elastic qualities perâ€" mitting a uniform "give" of about one inch per foot and reâ€" suming normal length with much the same action as a rubâ€" ber band, is now available to the Canadian angling world. As May 1st this year falls on a Monday, we wonder if the Ontario Fish and Game Departâ€" ment will be kind enough to adâ€" vance the opening date for trout fishing to Saturday, April 29, to give us an extra weekâ€" end. Last year the opening date was advanced to April 30th and anglers were enabled to hie themselves away to their faâ€" vourite stream on the preceding Saturday for a weekâ€"end of fishing, April ist may be "all fools" day and lend itself to the perâ€" petration of practical jokes of doubtful humour, but May 1st spells freedom from the social conventions of "soup and fish" leaving us free to eliminate the soup and just fish.â€" Asâ€"a rule, most anglers have put away their equipment by October, not because they are tired of fishâ€" ing, but because the climate and closed seasons force them to desist. Therefore, it seems a long time between bites and so as the season once more apâ€" proaches we are all on edge and "rarin‘ to go." NYLON FISHING LEADERS Many thousands of Ontario‘s anglers are: eagerly anticipatâ€" ing the opening of the trout season on MayAst as the month of April slowly wends its way through the calendar. This imâ€" portant date in the angler‘s alâ€" manac introduces a long season of outdoor happiness and piscaâ€" torial thrills. ANTICIPATING MAY 1st For a while the King was thoughtful.

You had one experience with the Oz people and they defeated you." By VIC BAKER WE WONDER WONDERLAND OF OZ NTA RIO UTDOORS The Age of Chivalry Is Not Yet Dead: : "The Case of the Crumpled Knave," by Anthony Boucher . . . . ‘Toronto: Musson Book Co. . . . It‘s an "Ioner Sanctum" mysâ€" tery. Many detective story writers are masters of the double bluff, In "The Case of the Crumpled Knave" Anthony Boucher triples it, and proves conclusively that the hand of the writer is quicker than the eye of the reader. Colonel Rand knew the signifiâ€" cance of the crumpled knave. But he didn‘t know anything about the "Hector" mentioned in that amazâ€" ing telegram, Dead by poison, and in his hand the clue that pointed to the murâ€" dererâ€"a crumpled jack of diamâ€" onds. The telegram so startled Colonel Rand that he took the next plane to Los Angeles. He arrived just in time to be an invaluable witness at the inquest on Humphrey Garnett‘s body. THE CASE OF THE CRUMPLED KNAVE "Instead of breaking down the morale," he said, "the effect seemâ€" ed to be very perceptibly a stiffenâ€" ing of the morale of the peopleâ€"a rise in their resentment. "‘The first effect on the civilian populations, of course, was to throw them into a siate of terror. The amazing thing, however, is that in a very short timeâ€"a matter of weeks onlyâ€"they become accusâ€" tomed to it ard hardened to it." Bombing of eivilian populations in an effort to break their morale proved a boomerang in the recent Spanish civil war, says Claude G. Bowers, U, S. ambassador to Spain for the last six years.

By Anthony Boucher "That was because they rolled eggs at us," replied the King, with a shudder. ‘"My inomu can‘t stand eggs any more than I can. They are polson to all who live underground." "That is true cnouih." agreed Guph. "But we might have taken the Oz people by surprise and conquered them before they had a chance.to get -n{,un." said the King. "Our former defeat was due to the fact that Dorothy bad a yellow hen with her." Dropped shoulders to go with dropped fullness in sleeves for a new style gesture, "dropping" lines. At this point, bo drew a parallel between wolves and women, a philâ€" osophy of which he is a strong disâ€" ciple. "Wolves are like women," he said. "When you meet dem for de firs‘ time, you mus‘ be ver‘ genâ€" tle. Aften ten year you have to watch for frying pan and de sticks. If you know how to handle women, you can handle wolf. De more women, de more danger. De more wolf de more danger." Joe didn‘t begin training wild wolves because he wanted to be a showman, The reason was much more practical. At first a trapper, and now a prospector and assessâ€" ment worker, he remembers that back>â€" in 1923 he was trapping. There were plenty of sled dogs, but a plague of distemper siruck, and the dogs were dying off like flies. Ho trapped his first wolf then and got the idea of using her in his sled pack. He has the distinction of baving the first wolves that ever flew in an airplane. He brought them to Sudbury by air for his sportsmans‘ show, says a writer in the Windsor Daily Star. Joe La Flamme, of Gozama. Ont., is 50 years of age, six feet tall, weighs 250 pounds, sports a full beard and long silver hair; he talks brokenly, as you would expect of a trapper from the hinterlands of Onâ€" tario; he wears moccasins; as he talks, his almost black eyes sparâ€" kle. Joe, you know, is believed to be the first man in history to have worked a full team of wild wolves as sled dogs, and he looks the part. Govrnment action at Oitawa, to bring down legislation designed to curtail the operations of loan sharks, wins widespread attention and approval. The topic aroused considerable interest when the Hon. Mr. Hsley forecast its introâ€" duetion. ~Reaction in the press of many parts of Canada has been favorable, and the introduction of such legislation in the Upper House by Senator Dandurand has stimulated the laudatory comment. â€"Halifax Chronicle.
