Has Caruso As Hero
Toronto — Nine-year-old Bobby
Connor’s hero is the late Enrico Car
uso. His ambition is to sing the roles
sung by that gieat Italian opera sing
er. Bobby, whose home is on a farm
in Suburban Newtonbrook, sings in
seven languages and likes singing'in
English least of all, according to his
motherf" He also has a remarkable
memory .and learned the Pagliacei
aria in three lessons. In preparation

with his mother several months ago,
the youngster is continuing singing
lessons with well-known teachers.
Roosevelt Pledges Armed Support
To Canada
Washington — President Roosevelt
broadened the meaning of more than
one United States doctrine in his
speeches in Canada and at the Inter
national bridge dedication exercises.
The president made important state
ments relating to common defence of
Canada and the United States in the
event of threatening' attack in the
course of an address at Kingston,
where he received the degree of doc
tor of laws at Queen’s University.
Later in the day Mr. Roosevelt spoke
at the opening of an international
bridge crossing the St. Lawrence Riv
er at the Thousand Islands. At King
ston he made a virtual pledge of Unit
ed States armed aid for Canada ag
ainst any foreign aggressor. That
added a new chapter of definitions,
at least, if not of principle, to the
Monroe Doctrine. It brought Canada
specifically within the shelter of that
policy at a moment when Europe is
tense with anxiety engendered by a
German war manoeuvre mobilization.

Chicago Repeals Law
Governing Swim Suits
Chicago — City Council caught up
with the times by repealing an ordin
ance (1895 vintage) which required
that women’s bathing suits must li^ve
full bloomers ertending below the
knees. Men’s suits were to extend to
three inches above the knee.
cord. And then without waiting for
the cross-examination he tore back
down to the shed. Nothing was said
about the matter.
His mother espied him coming ac
ross the’fields with something under
his coat the next afternoon and forth
with hauled him into the kitchen.
Like a performing magician a white
rabbit suddenly appeared out of his
pocket. Nothing doing! Mrs, Phil
wasn’t going to have any rabbits ar
ound Lazy Meadows. But the young
ster slipped the little, white fellow on
her lap and a glance, from those
bright little eyes was enough to melt
her heart. I saw her reach over to
the table wherehhe carrots were and
she slipped one to "Whitey.” The
rabbit stayed!
Then a mate appeared as well and
although there was haranguing about
it, nothing came of it. Sooji there
was at least twelve, and knowing their
quality for multiplying I made him
dispose of all but two pair. It took
me half a day to get any results to
wards getting rid of them.
Snakes and toads, fancy chickens,
banty roosters, pups and cats! He
had a regular circus, and every time
that I tried to do anything about it
he would talk me out of it.
The best of all was the day I found
him industriously building a small pen
in the pig-house. He was going to
get a pig! That was all right and I
offered him the pick of the pen. No,
Neighbour Higgins was giving him
one. Knowing the canniness of my
neighborus, my fears were realized
when he came lugging home with ‘a
runt about as big as two doubled up
fists. There was really an argument
them, and at last ’I disclaimed any
truck or trade with it. He would have
to feed it himself,
I refused to even give him any ad
vice on feeding methods and so he
got around his mother and made her
an accessory. All the scraps from the
house were -used, but I pretended to
pay no attention to the runt. For ov
er a month that pig seemed to eat
everything in sight. The boy was
certainly discouraged when he saw
mine growing bigger, and his at a
standstill. Then the miracle happened
and the pig started growing. He
stretched out into one of those lean
type that mean SELECT, when you
get your returns. And was there re
joicing then.
One day the butcher came out and
looked my bunch over for a pig to
butcher. He didn’t say. anything that
was enthusiastic and then he spied
the runt (?). He bought Timmy’s pig
and gave him select price. Timmy is
walking around quite well pleased
with himself these days, and I dare
not mention the disposal of the anim
al collection in the drive shed, in the
fear that he or his mother start en
quiring about my pigs. You see they
are not ready for market yet and his
went over ten days ago.
The soap box orator was harangu
ing the crowd on the dangers of the
devil. “The devil is chained to the
wall,” he said, “but he can step for
ward and get you; he can step back
ward and get you; he can step to the
right or the left and get you, if you
do any misdeed.”
Then a voice from the crowd piped
“The darn thing might as well be
loose.”

“CONNIVING”
X

That boy of mine! He’s a corker
when it conies to conniving, and I
have no doubt but that your boy is
the same. However, I would like to
ramble along for a while in this
week’s letter and tell'about some of
his tricks.
Last summer he was in the whitt
ling stage. He whittled at almost ev
erything around the farm from the
stable doors to the dining-room table.
When he started in on the corner of
my new desk there was a sudden stop
put to his sculpturing in wood.
This summer he has turned to rais
ing a menagerie. It started when he
lugged Methuselah, the pet white
mouse who lives in a bottom drawer
of the desk out to a specially con
structed box in the driving shed. For
an entire afternoon he plied the
mouse with all forms of food which
were politely refused. Coming up
from the stable from milking I ab
ducted the mouse and brought him
back to the desk where he caught up
on his meals by chewing at a pad of
paper,
A pair of pigeons appeared myster

KING AND ROOSEVELT MAY SOON BRING LAKES-TO-SEA TREATY TO A HEAD
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister King worked together even
when it came to the ceremony of cut
ting the ribbon which marked the in
tcrnational boundry across a span of
the Thousand Islands bridge system
on August 18th. Each held one handle
of the scissors as they snipped their
way from Canada to the United
States. From the vantage point of
the cameraman who made this pic
ture, Mr. King appeared to be taking
his work a little more seriously than
his friend. The Roosevelt smile was
flashed a thousand times that day, al
though the President's day was a
heavy one. In Washington it was re
ported that Mr, King will SOori go
there to discuss the St. Lawfenoe
Seaway project. Some U.S. observers
interpreted the Roosevelt address to
be a promise to viligancc over Can
ada against aggressors in return for
co operation in the seaway venture,
