That was something to talk about. Harry was a big fellow, weighing about 265 pounds when; in condition, a great chunk of mall, who played for the Quebec Bulldogs when they were Stanley Cup winners, later with Canadiens and I'fantilton. Whc,n.fae re or e,d tq Canadiens his first aea,spe with that. club he brought Slept ins :Meal' tabs from the diner, ed .rause; TA,club in those daysr•paidslfad such meals. He handed the bulky packet' over to the;lete tteargp Kennedy, who thein oweed• the Montreal club, for inspection. George went through the lint carefully, train cocked a rather quizzical eye at Mummery and enquired: "Do you Iceep eats?", rn "Why no," said the surprised Mummery. I don't' own a 'cat." "Then" thundered, Kennedy "who drank all this cream?" "Why, I did" answered Mummery. "I dlwhys Brink a pi[ii of cream after each meal. It's an antidote for ulcers. Besides, I like cream." I was walking from the old Westmount rink with Ivlummcry after a game one night. "Would you like a steak?" he asked. It would be only a light snack for two" he added apologetically, "for the steak weighsonly five pounds." I asked him where he could get such a steak, "At my boarding. house" said Harry. "I buy it in the afternoon. After elle game, I take it to the basement, wash off the coal shovel, cook the steak in the furnace and wash it down with a pint of cream."

Calvert D�STiLLERS LIMITED ' AMHEIfSTBURO, OI TARid ltl Handshakes Cause Many Diseases Mind how you shake hands 1 It can be dangerous. A former Lancaahie'e mayoress who shook hands with a 17 -stone man over a year ago is reported to be still under ' treatment for injured bones in her right hand,, Only last year Mrs, Wijeyet'- etne, the .wife of Ceylon's High Commissioner in London, had to spend a week in hospital after she had shaken'the hands of more than 400 guests at a function. Her wrist was dislocated. Consult a certain United States doctor who has closely studied. this "perilous" business of hand- shaking, and he will tell you: "Whenever you shake hands, your nervous, -system is jarred, And that jar inevitably goes up your , right arm, distorts the spirral'ziel'ves and, in fact is trans- mitted to all parts of the body." ' So;ndw'typu atpow, you inveterate lsandshaker`s I An English doctor asked to comment on the possible dangers of handshaking, said: "lIvlost perilous time to shake hands is before meals. Why? Because among the disease germs which mdy be'transferred from hand to hand ,,are those of the common cold, lenfluenzd,, food -poisoning, '. gastritis"_ ;,and '',aa r i o u s skin dlseeses.'',I, have I t doctor friend who for.ha ears y s laid down the rule that after Tie has washed '` his hands • before ltmcheon or dinner, he trtrlF'never shake any. body's hand until he has finished the meal.' "A handshaker, don't forget, need not neees'barily be suffering from the:, disease he transmits. He ' may be only a carrier -one , who harbours the germs without ' • being -ill of the disease," Perhaps somebody will abolish the handshaker one day 11 it becomes - more dangerous. In Tahiti the people.formed, a few years ago, , a Society for the Abolition of Handshaking. They proposed a military salute in- stead of a handshake. One reason put 'forward for doing away with i `handshaking' was that' "owing to • 1' r . t + • : L' d ' the heat,` it is; very'nnhealthy:".• " trunk �tvo � erfectly Historic ' Clothes ;Now On View ' 1• ' t b Great-great7grendma's ankle length panties and a waspy Bikini, -1 Granpa's coarse woollen cola71?sc and :a ttsodcrrl; ?strapless bre , these are to be among=the ex Itibits Qt London's nevebst mtf eeunt, a'Iiiu etun of Cddtume "td be opened in London in time for the Coronation.

We're adversaries in a sense, We are each trying for the better end of the bargain." In 1952, most English com- mercial travellers don't shake hands as much as they did in pre-war days.

If Year Want en example of how our law really works, go to the other extreme, and consider the case of a man named' Ashwell. • There was no drania there, un- less` tile:=triviality of the`;whole ,'affair can" le'thoirght'of as turn- ing the law into farce,;yet the I r dispute was a very fine - one, and the remit a very close thing. And it affects the property and 'freedom of many people. It happened in 1885, when Ash- well, being hard up, applied to a friend to spare him a shilling. GoId was currency in those days, ,and'there -was little difference in size and feel between a sovereign and a • shilling. ' Anyway, the friend, agreeing to the request, made;,a mistake and,handed over the 'gold coin. Ashwell himself did not find out what happened until later, when he came to look at the gift in a good light, and then, instead of going back honestly and de- claring the error, applied the whole amount to his own needs. As a result, .in due course lie found; .himself arraigned- before; I a: jury on a-, of stealing, nineteen shillings, and atter legal ,directi0ns from the , judge, the Jury convicted him, There Was no, Court of Crim- inal Appeal in "those' -days; Tial where tricky points of law ,\Vere in doubt, it was ,possible to - have a trial :reviewed. In ,this, case no less than, fourteen judgessat, for thought the facts Were not in dispute at all, it was realized that the points of law were tricky indeed. Theft dr Fraud? The definition of larceny Was the same 'then as' it is now. A person steals; lvlb without the consent of the ower, fraudulent- ly and without A.''claim of, right made in good faith, takes and carrie9 away anything Capable .Of being stolen, with intent at the 1 time of such taking tpemanently to deprive the owner thereof. How, argued' appellant's coun- sel, can tfrat defmitiont'ft the con- duct of Ashwell? Admit, if you like, that the owner of the sov- Yereigtf;gavr,. no'ddnaent'to"Its be- ingtaken, admit that Ashwell acted fraudulently and without claim 'of right, but the Case. must still break down over his intent at the time of taking. For at that moment he, too, thought the sovereign was a shilling,: and was perfectly in- nocent. _'No amount of fraud, occurring 'later, could alter his state ofmind at the time which the law ,said was the material one. Victory for Sense 011, said the Crown lawyers, but hero we must understand the time of; taking to be not the time of the physical handing over of. the coin, but tlXe' moment when he discovered the mistake and decided to keep the whole"twen- ty shillings for himself. We can- not tell exactly wledh thet mo- nient was, bt'lt �We ,'call deduce with ,absolute certainty that it must have existed. And it was then that Ashwell:broke the law and became guilty"- of larceny. At thia point anotlller consider- ation came in: It is I : broad prin- ciple of penal "law that judges must not read into "tiny enact- ment,'to the disadvantage of ac- cused, more than the words that are actually there.: ,,ql The Common Law can be con- strtied to tit the different circum- stances of different cases, but statutes are there in black and white, and must be taken to mean actually what they say. The Larceny Act said there must be a guilty intent "at the time of,taking," and the time of tatting; in the ordinary', -meaning of words, was the time when the money passed from one hand to another. So the argument. went back and forth, . and in the end the judges rose equally divided, sev- en on oneside, and seven on the other. Unluckily; for. Ashwell, it needed a majority 20 reverso the affirmative act of Conviction, to he remained guilty. Taken all round, it was a victory for common sense, but it was only achieved by making .the law look slightly ridiculous. Four- , our- teen of the queen's judges had listened for hours to. a case in- volving a few shillings, and firm- ally had not been.able to agree amongst themselves. And yet I don't knew. Each: of the fourteen judges was acting topless Lap -Sitter - Apparently reaching around Gopher Charles Bennett to grab the ball, Xavier player, Tom Simms seems perch- ed on Bennett's lap.
