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, with a small cleared space in the

An Amazing Project Plan To Make Inland Sea In Sahara Is Feasible

Ancient prophecies may be fulfilled if a project declared feasible by en: gineers is carried out, It inyolves making a vast inland sea in the Sahara, and that would be accom- plished by digging a canal which would begin about twenty-five miles from Biskra and run out to the Gulf of Gabes, fh Algeria. It would be 210 yards wide, thirty-nine yards deep 170 miles long. It would connect the eight shotts (shallow saline lakes). that exist in that region, and would transform it into a vast interior sea having a surface of 14,000 square miles,

saa — 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.

work Exhibited At Manchester

A square rag, inscribed in exquis- ite needlework with a clearly read- able message nearly 1,000 words 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 was Eve, and the needlework de- scribes her hallucinations. The most astonishing thing about it is that it was all done under the coyerlet of her bed, to conceal it from the nurse. She intended it as a message to God.

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

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’ 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.
