' Woman's SI iP Saved
Forty4our Lives
The City of Benares Was four
days gut frOin LiverpOol, On,
board, ',Mary Cornish, an fittrac.,
*lye music teacher, Was one of
ten escorts to, ninety Brittah
dren who were being evacuated,
A5 a war-time safety measure, to
Canada. It Was September 17th,
1940,
Then, shortly after 10 pan., a
- boat struck. The torpedo
trashed into the ship and ex-
pleded, .All the lights went out,
causing chaos. Within forty min-
ntes, the great ship, on which
so many parents' hopes had rest-
ed, was blazing fore and aft, It
slid slowly into the depths of
the Atlantic.
Boats were lowered into the
dark, turbulent sea. For some
'time Mary Cornish tried to com-
fort terrified children. "It's all
right. It's only a torpedo," she
cried. Thiswas a queer reassur-
ance to offer, but the' explosion
might have been caused by
mines.or a low level bomb at- '
tack,
Malty, having extrieated her
charges from, the debris choking
"'C" deck, and done what she
could to calm them, she found
herself in a lifeboat with six
mall boys, thirty-two Lascars
from the ship's crew, and five
:British members of the crew.
She was the only woman in a
grossly overcrowded thirty-foot
lifeboat.
A course was set for Ireland.
The Lascars crouched on the
thwarts or huddled on the floor
of the boat. They soon became
excessively morose. No one knew
bow they might react if un-
nerved by exhaustion or expo-
sure. Mary and the boys were
separated from them and moved
into the bows. .

Inside Story. Of
Great Swindler
path of honesty, writes Harry J'.
Greenwall in "Tit-Bits."
Here are some details of Hora-
tio Bottomley's crooked dealings
which came to my knowledge
when the Crown was preparing
the case that eventually sent
Bottomley to prison for seven
Years.
In his weekly paper he ran a
competition. Every week the
names and addresses of the win-
ners were published — people
a- who were apparently living in
e humble 'CircumstanceS.,
But the lawyers for the Crown
had the curiosity to track down
all' the winners and, strangely
enough,' the stories of each win-
ner were almost exactly alike.
Each winner's address turned
out to be a small pub down a
side street in a provincial town.
When the lawyer's representa-
tiVe inquired for Mr. Blank, "the
reply hardly varied at all:
"Oh, 'Charlie .Blank, lie was a
commercial traveller who lodged
here for a couple of nights, then
he received a telegram. He came
into the bar here, and said to us:
'Look at this, I've had a bit o'
luck; I've won a competition
this week!' Then he stood
drinks all round, packed up and
went off."
The lawyer's representative
followed the trail. The winner
!' was ' always a '!commercial, trav-
eller'," the' only *thing that ahang-
a&was his name. In other words,
the weekly. "winner" was ,-an
employee of Bottoniley who put
all; the, entrance money into his

Many people will 'say they
know all about 'Horatio Bottom-
ley, the arch swindler who ruin-
ed, thousands. But I ,guarantee
they don't know my story, learn-
ed in Paris when the Crown was
preparing its case, against him. ,
I learned things that 'did. not
come out at Bottomley's trial,
and they„convinceci me that if
ever there was " a „ease that
proved money wasn't everything,
that case was the life and more
particularly the death of Horatio
'Bottomley.
To evade the gambling laws of
Britain, Bottomley had been
running his Derby sweepstake in
a Swiss city, and on • his return
to London he broke his journey
in Paris and entered the Grand
Hotel,, where I was drinking a
nightcap with ,the editor and au-
thor, Frank Harris.
Bottomley came in wearing a
top hat' and an old-fashioned
frock, coat. He stopped by our
table, and Harris said: "Where
have you come from, Bottom-
ley?" Horatio answered: "I've.
just got in from Lausanne,
Frank, where I cleared £20,000
with my sweepstake."

Originally a sport for men
only and usually associated with
smoke-filled billard halls bowl-
ing has become a family game.
The industry—for that is what it
amounts to--cat6.s particularly
ajo mothers. the luxurious
lanes of suburbia there are res-
taurants; sports shops and even
closed circuit TV so Mom can
both bowl.and baby-sit.
Bowling .is especially popular
in Canada. If has been estimated
that one in every eight Canadian
bowls at some time each year.
And T. F. Ryan of Toronto made
it easier for women to join in
the game. He invented five pins.
In 1909 customers at his Tor-
onto bowling club approached
Tommy and asked „him to de-
velop a game that would be
faster—and one that their wives
could play.
He and his father, an expert
woodworker, decided to shave a
set of 10-pins down to smaller
aize. They reduced the number
reins . to five, added' a rubber
ban& and used, a smaller ball.
Thus the most popular game in
eCanada, five. spins; was born.:
In this modern game the ball
traiels ,down the lane at speeds
'of.- up to 40 Miles an hour. The
pins have to be strong to with-
stand-: this 'treatment. Only the
heart of top qbality , maple is
bse d;
,
and 'after the pins are
, shaped they receive four coats of
.totigh; durable industrial finish-
es.
These gleaming modern pins

' tians in 5200 B.C.
Medieval churchmen establish-
ed a special game. 'Missiles were
hurled "against sin" which they
represented by pins called
"Heidi" or heathen set, up at one
end °of their cloisters.
