Russia Pays Tribute To Role Of Women .The Soviet Union observed In- ternational. n-ternatio l Wonten's Day by pay- ing .tribute .to Russian women for their 'tremendous contributions to the war effort. It is doubtful' if anywhere in the world have women played a great- er part in the wam than they have in Russia. They drive tanks in the thickest fighting. They; ;fly bombers over the toughest targets." They load bonihs on icy air fields. They build and repair planes. They load by hand thousands of tons of cargo. They man machine, guns, on the -front. They fire anti-aircraft, they even ride horses in cavalry units.

Jade G od By MARY IMLAY TAYLOR CHAPTER XVI He took her in his arms again and kissed her solemnly. "It's goodby," he said firmly. "I won't take you. At least, I'm man enough not to ruin your life— because . I love you. It's goodby, Pam l" She could not speak; she let him go, but she stood still, tears blinding her. He would not take her to fight his : battle, there was a tumult in her heart, she wanted, to run after him to tell him she would face anything for him, but he didn't want her to go! The hot blood rushed to her face; then she remembered the anguish in his eyes—and he was going! She stood holding her .breath, listening to his footsteps going away down the long hall and, at last, the closing of the door. If there was something that she could „do; wasn't there' some- thing? Suddenly her heart leaped COMES TO OTTAWA Mr. Alfred Stirling, who has been appointed as Australian High Com- missioner to Canada. He will take up residence in Ottawa shortly.

She wanted to be sure that Lan- don had gone before 'she went, back to the library. There was a stir in the rooms beyond and then Aunt Lynn's voice, cold and crisp, freezing .someone out. Pam hid herself - front them, trying to slip by, - but she could not shut her ears. "I'm sorry, I knew your mother, Archie," Mrs. Lynn said icily, "but I can't pardon this" She was freezing .Landon out! He mumbled something` -about Teddy Banks, and not being'him- self, "If you mean, you'd been drink- ` ing—that only makes it worse," she replied sharply. "As for Banks —you know what I think! I told the servants long ago not toe ad.,- mit d;mit him again." • "And now I'm in for that, too, I suppose!" Landon cried, `When I tried to undo it, too," "You'll have to pardon a wom- an who knew your mother, for speaking the truth, Archie," she retorted suavely. "You see, I'm not sure that your way of undo- ing it was—much better!" He stammered more apologies and her icy voice trickled back at him "Ale's done!" Pam thought. "And I'm glad of it—the coward]" * * * Then Pant slipper past that cur- tain arch and found the little door in tate corner; it opened into the library beside the fireplace. It was still in there; bee first thought was that there was no one in the room; the shades had not been drawn; a street -lamp garished out- side, the fire on the hearth was low. Then, beyond the shaded lamp, she saw the outline of her uncle's gray head. She thought he was asleep, his eyes were closed, the red streak had faded into ashen gray, he looked ill. It seemed impossible that' he could be asleep after all' that violence] She 'saw the scattered bits of pol- ished jade on the floor, shattered like poor Mark's hope of freedom, long ago. She; stooped softly and began . to pick up the fragments. She found the head unhurt, green beard and all, and the distorted mouth, Brined up at her. She had it in her hand when she lifted her eyes again and found Burle- son watching her. "Throw that' thing away, Pam!" he said sharply., * * * But she did not; she carte near- er, holding out her pink palm with the greenhead in it. "Uncle Herbert, Mark's uncle brought that when they were to- gether tor the last time; brought it for you, ;and he had it when Mark saw' him last. 1 -le ,gave, it to you afterwards," she liaised; letting her words sink in, but he s; id nothing, only looked intently at her. "Don't you see?" slie pleaded, "he gave it to you after Mark left him, • He was killed' after that. you can clear Mark, if', you evil]!`' "Oh, can T?" his gray lined fade was cruel when 'lie twisted his lips like that!

The Bells Of Peace Someday the bells of peace 'tviIl ring.. - The wheels of war will cease to hunt. Free men will plough the, ferlife fields; The thunder of the guns be dumb. • Once more will happy children play And sleep, untroubled, safe in bed; No terror fly by night or day! No fear of bombers overhead! Yet, grass will grow on countless graves, Marked' by plain crosses row on row On men who gave their very all, That love- and beauty we night know. And; though the bells of peace may ring — Still, mangled bodies, wracked With pain, And sightless eyes, will dumbly plead "Let not our torment be in vain." In unknown places, noisome, dark; In swamps, in sands, in restless sea, Lie men who sacrified life's chance — That you and I night still be free. * * * What kind of world will we then make Full of ideals for which they died? Or, will we grow stiff-necked again, In hatred, greed and haughty pride? Will trade and conquest be our God? Will we still seek the highest seat? Then surely war will scourge once more And 'make destruction all complete. Shall we not bravely see that they, Our flesh and blood, strove not fn vain, And build a world on right, not night, When bells of peace ring out again? — T. B. Gleave.

Clarke Last ' Thursday ,my baby , chicks were supposed to :arrive on the morning`. train. 2 met the train and waited; eatgerly bear the baggage car—but alas there Were .no ,little" chicks. • I could hardly believe it ▪ I thought the trainman must have overlooked :them. However the -train moved on, and f, per- force, went home, minus the chicks. Naturaly l thought the shipper had missed the train, and that lie, would either phone or deliver them in Person. Nooncame and there were no chickens and no telephone call, So then. I called "long distance" myself. The hatchery -man would hardly believe me when 1 said the iittle biddies had not arrived. "But I took them o, h n t the station at six o'clock this morning," he said • "Did you put them on the tram, ,ourself?" I inquired. "Well, no, but I ;gave then to .the shipping agent, If you will --wait a minute I will make inquiries and ring you back," • Im a short while that is what he did—and told me the chickens had been shipped all right but on the wrong train! They had gone to To- ronto. In all probability they would be sent down on "the_Peanut" that evening.• Ivfy poor little chicks—shut up in • boxes and shunted around from one place to another. What will they be like when I get them, I won- dered. * * * At 7.30 I was at the station again • and this time, so were the chickens. I opened the box with considerable trepidation .and found not dead and dying chicks -but 150 lively, chipping little balls of black fluff, as warns and happy as you please. Joy, riding must have agreed with thein as I have . since lost only two. Now, of course, I spend quite a lot of time running back and forth to the brooder house—mainly to see that it doesn't get too hot. The sun is so warm 'and bright these early spring days, It is no hardship' looking after baby chicks,. I love to sit on the .ted' bag aid watch them grow, Yes, watch them! Honestly, they seen to 'sprout wings under my very eyes, In between attending to chickens and collecting for the Red Cross, Partner and 1 have made two trips to Hamilton it having become necessary for Partner to have a check-up at the clinic._ These old soldiers.' • * * * On our first visit -to the clinic we were very interested in the efficiency we found in every de- partment. Partner's name was called five minutes ahead time, 'A nurse took hint to the doctor's own waiting room. From there to the consulting rom, the laboratory, consulting room, the laboratory, office, back to the first one; mid finally out to the stiir office where accounts were tabulated and paid. The complete round tool: axactly, two hours' with hardly a minute wasted. The chief doctor, as he questioned Partner, wrote down All the particulars, and as each -page was filled it was pegged outside his office door. From there it was whisked away as if by magic, taken to some secret sanctum,' where the rough copy later appeared in the form of typed cards for future re- ference. The efficiency and quiet dignity wthich prevailed throughout the entire building was something to admire, and certainly gave.
