He accepted it blissfully; it seemed ages ago that she had turn- ed angry eyes on him. Now she was the Molly he adored and believed in, and affectionate Molly. She quickly wheeled him around, slipped her arm confidentially into his, and led him toward the Marcus table. In that moment she reealized that she held him in the hollow of her hand: she could do with him as she pleased. Af the Marcus table Al was quick- ly introduced.

WRIGLEYS picking Trade Secret Experts Trying To Discover Source Of Power Possessed By Electric Eels Six electric eels have been brought from Trinidad to the zoological gar- dens at Philadelph'a, and a dispatch from that city declares that electri- cal experts will try to discover the sources of the visitors’ electrical energy. These natural electrical plants average six feet in length and five-sixths of their plant space or content, are devoted, it is explained, to current-generating apparatus. It is averred that one of these eels, pro- perly “hooked up,” can light an electric bulb, run a toy train or operate an egg-beater. In their na- tural habitat, the eels retire to rocks and “rest up” while their batteries are being recharged. How they do it, is one of the trade secrets that elec- trical scientists will try to persuade the visiting eels to reveal. ’ Her Little Boy Was Very Ill With Summer Complaint Mrs. Ray Fisher, Lebret, Sask., Convention Has Finished Work Radio Requirements Discussed At Length During Safety At Sea Parley Tho full text of the convention de- cided upon by the International Con- ference on Safety of Life at Sea, was made public at Ottawa, and in the capitals of the countries which par- ticipated. The meetings were held in London, and the countries that joined were; Germany, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Spain, irish Free State, United States, Fin- land, France, Great Britain, and Northern Ireland, India, Italy, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and Russia, The convention seeks to make pro- vision for the safety of steamships in the way of their construction, pro- viding that bulkheads, etc, and equipment for salving lives should be uniform in the various countries. Uniformity is also aimed at in the efficiency with which the lifeboats would be manned and handled. Much of the convention was taken up with the radio requirements. Warning when a master of a ship sights an iceberg is also provided for. “The contracting parties under- take to encourage the collection of meteorological data of ships at sea and to arrange for their examina- tion, dissemination and exchange in the manner most suitable for the purpose of aiding navigation” is one of the articles. The United States continues the ice patrol and each nation bears a share of the expense. Great Britain is the biggest payer, her assessment being 40 per cent. The United States comes second with 18 per cent. Canada is assessed 3 per cent.

Last of Valuable Shipment Recovered Bullion Was Lost in Slocan Lake 27 Years Ago Base bullion consisting of gold, silver and lead valued at about $65,- 000, lost 27 years ago in Slocan Lake at Slocan City, has been re- covered and shipped to the Consol- idated Mining and Smelting Com- panys plant at Tadanac. Twenty-seven years ago, the car containing the bullion plunged over the end of the wharf at Slocan City, carrying a brakeman to his death.

To me, I confess, it seems a very considerable thing just to belleve in God; difficult indeed to avoid honest- ly, but not easy to accomplish worthily, and impossible to compass to perfection; a thing not lightly to be professed, but rather humbly of any syllogism, but in the inmost fountains of purity and affection; not the sudden gift of intellect, but to be earned by a loving and brave life. It is, indeed, the greatest thing allowed to mankind, the germ of every lesser greatness. —Anne Gilchrist. Good Example To Follow State Of Indiana Has New Clause In Motor Act A sensible move in law has been made by the state of Indiana which has legislated that a motorist who may give a ride to a friend shall not be responsible for damages if an ac- cident occurs resulting in injury to the occupants of the car. The new clause in the Indiana Motor Act fs as follows: “That no person who is transport- ed by the owner or operator of a motor vehicle, as his guest, without payment for such, transportation, shall have a cause of action for dam- sought; not to be found at the end) ages against such owner or operator, for injury, death, or loss, in case of accident unintentional on the part of such’ owner or operator, or caused by his reckless disregard of the rights o. others.” A number of cases have been re- ported in Canada where the driver of a car has had to pay damages to a voluntary guest in the vehicle. In this respect the Canadian provinces might well follow the example set by the Indiana legislature. — Regina Daily Post.
