ROBT„ a THOMSON WANTED HIS WIFE ORDERED TO JAIL, COURT REFUSES , John Coleman, North Bay, Pails in Action -Claims Disobedience - Case Is Over Child -Wife, Aged 21, Tells of Threats -Says She Must Choose Church or Husband (Tuesday's Toronto Star) Motion of John McColeman, of North Bay, to have his wife, Eva Mc - Coleman, 21 years of arae. committed to jail for alleged disobedience to a court order regarding the custody of their infant son, is not allowed in a judgment delivered by Justice Kelly a: Osgoode Hall to -clay. The alleged disobedience was to an order of Mr. Justice Mowat ;vhe in June last, after he had heard the evidence of the couple's marital troubles, gave their child into the custody of hid mother, but on the condition that the father could have h.'m for not more than one day in every two weeks by giving the moth- er proper notice. The mother was also to 1•c• -p her husband informed a- to any change of the child's where- abouts. Mr. McColeman was to pay $25 per int.nth for the infant's mainten- ance. re father, in his motion for the commitment, alleged that on Septem- ber Gth last, after they were loving separately, he wrote to his wife, then living in Wroxeter with their son, end gave her notice of his corning to see the baby. When he got there, he stated, the mother and child were absent, and' he was told. they had left for Windsor on August 31. He was not notified of the move, he claims. This is what his motion was based Met Husband at 17 'The McColeman' married life, ac- cording to the evidence filed, was an unhappy one. Mrs. McColeman, then 17 years of age, met McColentan, a barrister in that town, when she was attending Normal school in North leay in 1922. She became engaged some three months afterwards and they were married in December 1923. At first they lived with McColeman's parents and then they decided to start up their own home, to which, according to the evidence, Mrs. McColeman's mother carne and brought her furni- ture. :The bringing of the latter was the mother's suggestion. Wife's Allegations Doth mother and daughter were actively engaged in, church society work and the latter alleges her hus- band told her she roust choose be- tween the Ladies Aid and him. The wife also alleges that her hus- band showed violent temper at times and that he threatened to shoot him- self and to take poison. At other times, she says, he threatened to de - F stroy the child and to burn their house down. Their child, whose custody the ac- tion hinges about, was born in De- cember, 1924, and is now two years old. I j 1927 PERTH COUNTY COUNCIL Blanshard George S. Keith. 1 Downie -A. J. Bradshaw. N.

'HE BRUSSELS POST THE' COW.IIOB$E,S Ole KENYA. inland, Biggest of African Antelopes, Become. Farmyard Animal, ¢ new farmyard animal, which le cow, 1'acellprse, carthorse and h. eK- or all in one, bus been discovered by settlers in Kenya Colony, Aram, la the eland, te biggest of the African antelopes, A four -b -hand of these huge khaki -colored bucks, with spiral horns and swishing tails, is one of the smart turnouts to be seen in Nairobi on race days, 00 the farms, in harness to ploughs and wagons, elands are proving as veluttbie as Shire horses, while their milk, beef and butter now have a permanent place en the Kenya housewife's shop- ping list. On 4ttlprprisiu everts - man has entered hie bull eland for a forthcoming steeplechase; and, eine° an eland can gallop thirty miles at a stretch and clear a six-foot fence in its stride, Kenyan hurdlers look like meeting a formidable opponent in this prong -toed veld -horse, To capture an eland herd a corral of stout stakes, with a wide V-shaped mouth, made of piled -up thorn bush, is built upon the veld. Very cautiously hundreds of native beaters surround the animals and drive them slowly to the corral, Whim they are lassoed around their vlc1oue horns and then hobbled. After a month in the farmer's pad- docks the newly -captured antelopes are tame enough for the bulls to be trained to barness and the cows to dairy work. Big -game hunters have long reck- oned the eland as the finest buck for the camp cooking pot. A typlcal'flve- course hunter's supper would be roast eland beef, cold boiled hump, eland soup, eland's brains as a, sav- oury, and eland's marrowbones grill- ed in a hole with red-hot stones. Un- like other buck meat eland beef is sweet, tender and plentiful in fat. The cow eland yields creamy milk from which good butter and cheese can be made, while eland hide makes splendid harness in its "green" state and durable leather when cured. As a transport animal the eland soon learns to pull its weight in har- ness, though it is apt to get nervy and make dangerous play with its horns when alarmed. But it com- pletely outclasses the zebra as a vold- hprse, for that animal, after biting and kicking until exhausted, is apt to lie down in harness end die of sheer stubbornees. FLAG LAW. No Private Person Has Any Right to Fly the Union Jack. There has been a great upset In South Africa over the new flag law which proposes to delete the Union Jack from the South African Union flag. No private person has any right to fly the Union Jack, says an article in London Tit -Bite. Nor has a company or a corporation any such right. The display of the Union Jack is limited to the court, and to forts, dockyards, and Government buildings. As for the Royal Standard, that may be used only by royal permission. Some Years ago the Home Secretary took the trouble to forbid its use over the municipal buildings at Greenwich. The proper size of the Union Jack is laid down in Admiralty regulations as being 15 feet long by 7 Se feet wide. The red St. George's Cross is one-fourth the width of the flag, and its white border one -fifteenth the width. The red St. Patrick's Cross is one -fifteenth and its border one -thir- tieth the width. The white St. An- drew's Cross is one-tenth the width. The official Stars and Stripes is a much larger flag than the Union Jack, its correct size being 36 feet by 20 feet. Last year a Bill was introduced in- to the British Parliament providing that the Red Ensign should be the proper national colors for all Britleh ships except those carrying foreign n crews, and that the latter should be obliged to fly a Union Jack with a red border. In Australia there is a law pro- hibiting the use of a red flag except as a danger signal. Left Himself Nothing.

'Tis me - self couldn't get a wink of sleep, thinking of the will I have made!" "What's the matter with the will?" caked the amateur lawyer. "Matter, indeed!" replied Pat.

Mr.' and Mrs. Mulley will resi,i in Me - By the time Irmo Dale, the pretty new school. teacher at Brentwood, had been at her post for a month nearly every eligible hie ydung man in the vil- lage was deeply smitten. Particularly there were three who openly expressed their admiration. These were Nat Lai - ton, Guy Purvin and Thad Wilson, close friends, clean, reputable young fellows, and one day after a mutual exchange of confidences they made a decision, whimsical in a meavure, yet actuated by honest esteem for the lovely and beloved Miss Dale. "It's settled, then, that we smell write to Miss Dale?" spoke Guy Per - vin. "All at the same time and each clear- ly and squarely telling how much he thinks of her and asking her to marry," submitted Thad Wilson. "And no hard feelings toward the one who is lucky enough to be the chosen one," added Nat Laiton, who rather plumed himself on being the handsome one of the group. lits sister Breda was a close friend of Irma, and he counted on this speeirtl pleader to if it cause about further his claim, right. Now Breda was a chatterbox, and the fact of the three proposals got intent among the young people of 'Brentwood speedily.- The direr devo- tees anxiously aw-011ted their fete, In turn they manned to meet Miss Dale on the street within the following few days. Outside of greeting theta with her acerstnnled friendly smile, In nn way did she indicate the receipt of the proposals, nor effnrd them opportunity to broach the subject.

Dainty Irma Dale mot the trio after that graciously, kindly, but did not fur- ther allude to the compositions. The story got about the village, and the vie- 1Ims were chaffed mercllessly, Bruce Alston heard of it. They had never dreamed that this quiet, unobtrusive young than was a possible rival. With Irma, of all these paying attention to her he had been a favorite from the start. Only occasionally they had met, but after he had seen Irma home from parties twice and had gone with her on a botanical expedition with her class in the woods one spring day, Bruce Alston resolved to tempt fate by becoming number four. He was not daunted by the experience of the pioneers in the attack upon ,the affec- tions of the pretty school teacher. In a modest, respectful note Bruce de- lineated his interest In Irma. He hoped she would not deem him pre- sumptuous, he wished to give her time to think over the proposal. He would call at the little red schoolhouse on a certain afternoon when he knew the scholars would disband an hour ear- lier than usual. The last group of the pupils was disappearing in the dis- tance as he neared the humble struc- ture. Glancing through an open win- dow his fond glance rested upon Irma at her desk. Her pose was. one of deep meditation and his heart gave a great leap as he noted that she held in her hand the letter he had sent her the day previous. Irma greeted her visitor with a blush and Bruce thought this encouraging. She invited him to a chair on the plat- form, there being no other seat except among the benches. Then she nervous- ly arranged some books before her. At that moment the glance of Bruce fell upon his letter, It lay open at her side, and across its face was a eon- spicuous blue-pencil marking, "E." Bruce experienced u decided thrill. His eyes glowed, his tone wavered as he said: "Does that mean 'excellent,' Miss Dale?" She tried to smile casually, but he noted a tremulous quiver about ber sweet, sensitive lips. She nodded in an embarrassed way. "And '100.'" he added, and drew closer. •rma, doIstand that high, not only in my clumsy literary effort but in your coveted affections?" Her head sank and she yielded her hand to his own, and Bruce Alston realized that the lasting happiness of his life had dawned. b- Friendly Societies In England.
