Canadian huskies are the well- known breeds of dogs that take the place of the horse in Northern Can- ada and the Artie circle. They are half wolf and half dog and when trained are the chief means of trans- portation for the inhabitants of the northern end of the Dominion. Eighty of these hardy and useful an- imals were taken by Commander Byrd on his Antarctic expedition and reports have already come of the use he had made of them. They will be used by Byrd with airplanes and gasoline tractors for hauling heavly loads over the Antarctic ice. In May, 1811, an immense tract of land was granted to the fifth 'Carl of 'Selkirk (1771-1820) a Scotish nobleman and philanthropist, in the Red River Valley, in that ipart of Western Canada now called Manitoba, Lord Selkirk at once proceeded to send out colonists and the resulting settlement was known as the lied River Colony. However, the plan was ruined by the hostility of the North- west company. After the battle of Seven Oaks, in 1816, by which Lord Selkirk's colonists suffered greatly the Earl sent a new group of settlers and founded the village of Kildonian, now part of the city of Winnipeg.

TEMPLETON'S RHEUMATIC CAPSULES T -It- s • niV"s :RE4NC to fin n out Come In— See -- Hear —Learn! Drive a PLYMOUTH Only a few days left to learn the high points of Plymouth during "Learn -the -Difference fortnight. Here is your chance to find out for yourself what scores of your friends and neighbors have learned — the decided difference between Plymouth and any other car in its price class. We know that fifteen minutes behind the Plymouth wheel will convince you that Plymouth is not only different in the big obvious things, but different also in the little things that mean so much in the pleasure and convenience of driv- ing a motor car. Dealer NO O OBLIGATI ON We are eager to have you realize the many outstanding advantages of the Plymouth. Come and drive the ear—see for yourself how and why it excels. There is not the least obligation. Come in today l We know you will recognize Plymouth is a full-size car, not a miniature—in point of size and seating space it overshadows every other offer at this price. We know you will recognize Plymouth has distinctive Chrysler -like style and manner, and richness and dignity not to be found in other low-priced cars. We know you will recognize 99 Plymouth is typically Chrysler in, a performance—so swift in traffic, so eager on hills, so easy to control and so safe with weatherproof internal -expanding four-wheel hydraulic brakes. We could pack this whole page full of type telling why Plymouth is so vitally different—in style, quality, performance, dependability and economy. But five minutes' inspec- tion followed by a brief drive will tell the story far more graphically. That's the reason for Plymouth "Learn-the-Difer•ence" fortnight —why we•urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn the all. inclusive superiority of Plymouth —to see it, experience it.

Any Dominion Tire Depot ex- pert will give them a thorough, con- scientious overhauling. If you need new tires, by all means equip with Royal Masters, made by she Dominion Rubber Company and sold by Dominion Tire Depots. Not one Royal Ivfaster in a thousancl will ever puncture. Not one in five thousand will blow out under two years of service. On New Cars Royal Masters cost more than any other tire made and you cannot expect them as standard equipment on your new car. Any dealer will. however, be glad to equip your new car with Royal Masters as an extra. You will find the addi- tional cost one of the best investments ytu have ever made.

This is incorrect, He is the result of an error not on the part of the machine but on the part of the I operator. What happens is that the ' operator makes some kind of slip so that he does not wish to complete the line he is working on. But the inner works of the linotype machine are such that they must have a cer- tain number of letters dropped into them before they will push out the current line and get ready for the next one. So the operator feeds it letters as quickly as he can by run- ning enning his finger: down the bank of keys in front of him, expecting to throw out the faulty line when it has come from the mould, but sometimes forgetting to do so. The keys are arranged in this order: ESCVX THMBZ A R F G @ ODWK Th t 1 L Y Q& N U P J — So it can easily be seen that when he runs his fingers down the first two rows, Etaoin Shrdlu stands a good chance of getting into the paper • and if a few more letters are need- ed, and the operator starts into the third bank, Etaoin will have q few honorary degrees to his name. In the present instance, what probably happened was that after the opera- tor started to set the line he dis- covered that "Frank B. Kellogg" should have been brought into line with "Calvin Coolidge," instead of with "(Seal)", and started at once to do the line over, with somewhat appalling results, Etaoin Shrdlu is forty-four years old, having been born in 1885 on the same day as the linotype mach- ine. He is unmarried. He informs us that he has taken the blindfold test and chosen Old Golds without even having to res what he laughingly calls his brains. Waterton Lakes Park is Popular Although for over :t quarter of a century Waterton Lake national park has formed a holiday paradise for residents of southern Alberta, until recent years it hes been un- known to the travelling viol -d. With the advent of the motor and the building of good roads connecting the park with the main provincial highways, this beautiful reservation has come into its own and each year an increasing number of visitors en- joy its many attractions.
