CHAPTER XI.

Night on Broadway. . The richly
dressed limousine crowds had left
the theatres and were pouring into
the fashionable night elubs. The
electric signs on the night clubs
blinked, beamed and e@beckoned.
“Here,” they seemed to say, “you
may find surcease from care, here
you may eat, drink and be merry
until dawn—if you,have the price!”

Brightest among those insidiously
beckoning lights was the brilliant
sign of the CLUB BOMBO, where
Al Stone was part owner and master
of ceremonies. What a ‘contrast to
the shabby old place where he had)
once worked—Blackie Joe's. Al often}

between the job he now held and his
old one. Once he had been a mere
singing waiter, eager for the tips
that the none too affluent patrons of
Blackie’s place. threw him when they
happened to like his comic songs ana
his ad lib wise-cracking. Now he
was using his fame as Broadway's
foremost song writer to pull the
shekels into his pocket at the Club
Bombo. He. was the magnet, the)
favorite of the big-time crowds. They|
called him the “Singing Fool’ be-
cause he could put his songs over
with such emotional intensity.

‘Tpe ballroom of Al's club was ex-
pensive and expansive, designed to
hold the huge crowds that flocked
there. The tables spread across the
room an army of round white tops,

Appointed To Grain Board

D. B. Ramsay Wheat Pool Official,
Has Had Wide Experience

B®. B. Ramsay, general manager of
the Central Selling Agency of the
Canadian Wheat Pool, has been ap-
pointed by the Canadian Government
Chairman of the Board of Grain
Commissioners for Canada, The
other two members of the board are
Hon. C, M, Hamilton, former Minis-
ter of Agriculture for Saskatchewan,
and Dr, D, A. MacGibbon, Dean of
the Department of Economics, Uni-
versity of Alberta.

The newly appointed board will
administer the Canadian Grain Act,
which was amended at the last ses-
sion of the Federal Parliament to
provide for more adeguate provisions
for the inspection of grain for ex-
port; for the establishment of new
gradings of wheat and the general
reorganization of the whole system
connected with the export of gfain.

The appointment of E. B, Ramsay
as Chairman of the Grain Board
means that he will resign as general
manager of the Central Selling
Agency of the Wheat Pool at the end
of this year. Since the pool was or-
ganized five years ago he has been
one of its leading executive officers,
Mr. Ramgay, has had wide experience
as a banker and farmer and still
owns a large farm at Fillmore, Sas-
katchewan., He is a native of Patrick,
Scotland, and a graduate of the
Edinburgh Academy.

A square rag, inscribed in exquis-

long, was among the exhibits of the
year at the Pathological Exhibition,
at the British Medical Congress, at
Manchester. The worker was a
mad woman who imagined that she

scribes her hallucinations. The most
astonishing thing about it is that it
was all done under the coyerlet of

Requires Aid Of People

If Timber Resources Of Empire Are
To Be Preserved

The London Timés has issued a
warning which should be noticed
throughout the British Empire. It de-
clares that the enormous timber re-
sources of the Empire are a rapidly
waning asset. Further than that, it
says that unless an end is put to ex-
travagant waste, and new timber re-
serves created in suitable areas, the
day must inevitably come when’ the
world’s supplies will prove unequal
to the demand. Indeed, the opinion
has been expressed by competent au-
thorities that this day is not very far
off, The aid of the people is re-
quired in this matter; for if the
farmers would take advantage in
Canada of the free offers of young
trees for plantations, it would help
enormously, and why should not
municipalities do so too, and earn

Predicts Phones For ’Planes

President’s Son Says They Are Only
Year Away «

The day when commercial air-
planes will be equipped With two-way
radio telephones by which pilots may
constantly keep in touch with ground
stations and by which passengers
may in emergencies reach any part
of the country by a combination of
radio and land telephone wires, was
predicted to be only a year away in
a radio talk delivered by Herbert
Hoover, Jr., son of the President.

Mr, Hooyer predicted that the
government would soon require radio
equipment on commercial” ‘planes,
just as it requires wireless appara-~
tus on seagoing vessels.

Too Many “Ifs”

Too many ‘ifs’ surround the sug-
gestion that, if scientific manage-
ment were employed and if all the
potential timber lands were planted,
and if the people were educated to
refrain from burning the forests up,
and if insects could be trained to eat
(somehing else, Canada would have
a self-sustaining timber supply.

There are more than 400 differ-
ent kinds of mosquitoes in the world.

At 3 cents a mile a jourriey to the
sun would cost $2,790,000.
