FAREWELL TO KELLY
No lenges will it be Mary or Nelly
or Nancy or any such names in Italy.
Instead, Christian names will be have
tobe real Italian ones. So goes forth

enza,• Elsie for Alice and Peg for

PERILS OF THE NEW YEAR
Left over hours and minutes from
the last three years will be used to
add an extra day to the month of
February, 1936, which means that the
perils and `prablems of the future are
further complicated by the fact that
1936 is leap year.
Only a determined statistician could
figure out the profits 'and losses in-
volved in adding another day to the
calendar. It is a gloomy thought that,
an annual income must be spread a;
little thinner ,this year to take care,
of the extra day. But there will be:
one day more for 'work or play, which'
could be considered clear gain and'
profit. - :
Leap year has a long standing re-
putation as a perilous period for 'el-
igible bachelors. According to its:
tradition, leap -year allows the ladies
to pick and choose their men 'a'nd in-
vite them into matrimony. Cynics say:
The ladies usually 'do, though by subtle+
indirection and' not' by openly putting
the critical question, 7)uritrgleapyear,
however, tradition is on their side'
if they assume the pivilage of asking
a man's 'hand 'in marriage.

WHO EXERTED THE FORCER,
There was a small news item inti
the paper last week Which reported
that, a motorist near a Grey county
village was driving along a roach
when he was "forced" " to tun down
several partridges that were sitting
in the centre of the road and failed
to fly at the approach of the car.
One of the birds was killed, but the
others escaped uninjured.
As we read this , little item, we
could not help but think that the in-
cident quoted was so typical of mod-
ern action. Motorists are being
"forced"' to do so many things. They
are forced to run down pedestrians
or partridges because "they failed
tq fly at the approach of the car".
and forty cents duty on outsiderwheat Other motorists are "forced" into

SCORES AGAIN
The youngest guest artist ever to
appear on "Canadian Concert Hall of
the Air," a Canadian Radio Com-
mission Program heard from Monti;.
real every Friday evening at' 9.30
o'clock, EST, will be presented on.
January 24. He is Andre Mathieu
and he is only five years of age. The
child prodigy is already a concert
pianist of more than passing note.
His playing of the works of the
great masters leaves little to be de•
sired both in artistry and in inter-
pretation,
Andre lidatheiu
.Andre l Mtahieu is also gifted with
a prodigious :memory. Thus, 3uaneem-
erable masterpieces for the piano-
forte 'have been memorized lay the
young gne'Ilenran and repeated with-
out a trace of hesitation. To watch
lira at the keyboard, charming his
listeners with soft, pleading 'melodies
avhreh May in turn give way to an
etude of the greatest difficulty, is
indeed 'a.:nnielcal -treat, an experience
tiiltat would thrill any music lover.
:Andre leas 'thready made an envi-
able reputation for himself in the
field of composition. Here are a few
of his works: "Les Abeiiles Pig.
uantes," "Les Gros Chars," "Three
Etudes," one on white keys, one on
black keys, and the third on white
and black keys.
For his "Canadian Concert Hall of
the Air" appearance he has chosen
to play Four Etudes, fromhis nen,
and the Andante and Finale from a
Concertino of his own composition,
Opus 10, Number 1.
For the occasion J. J. Gagnier, di-
rector of the Little Symphony, has
prepared a most interesting' program,
which includes "Le Secret de Suz-
anne" by Folf-Ferrari; the tone poets
(Romeo's Farewell to Juliette),
Shakespearean Sketch, No. 1, by
Maurice Baron; and the Grand March
from Wagner's Opera "Tannhauser."
Business Men Like Toronto Feature
At a recent business convention in
British ,Columbia a group of execu-
tives were discussing the merits of
radio advertising. The conversation
turned to the subject of radio in
general, and Canadian radio features
in particular. It was decided to
take a vote on the best subject on
the Canadian air, chiefly to find out
if business men in Canadia listen
to Canadian programs. When the
count was made it was learned that
of eleven votes, nine went to "For-
gotten Footsteps" and two to the
hockey broadscast. This is another
"bouquet" for the Toronto programs,
which are based on stories of valu-
able relies and historical .objects in
the Royal Ontario Museum of -Arch-
aeology and which are heard over
the coast to coast network of the
Canadian Radio Commission on Sun-
day nights at 9 o'clock EST.
The idea behind these broadcasts
was conceived by Stanley Maxted.
The plays are written by Don Hen-
shaw. A dramatic cast and symphony
orchestra are employed.
A Brand N w Feature
Greeting the mountain network
from the Commission's Edmonton
studios is a brand new feature, full
of sparkle and variety, lasting thirty
full, fast-moving minutes. "The Ten -
Thirty -Telegram" is heard each Mon -

:comes ,along hugging the centre of
the toad and driving at breakneck

Tet, if we understand the meaning
Of the words, we cannot see why a
motorist was "forced" to run down
several partridges. He could have
Stopped his car and ,given the beautl-
frit creatures of the woods a chance
to fly away. He might even have
Stopped ' to 'admire them, and permit-
ter them' to fly away at their leisure
instead of driving into them helter-
skelter and''kiiling one of them.
'The' law does not permit us to take
life by force, • except in a eleae-cut
case of self-defence, yet it looks
with leniency upon the acts of mealy
motorists who take a combination of
heavy cars, icy roads and a desire
'for'gtiick'travel'as an excuse for be•
ing "forced" to run down a pedes-
trian and snuff out a life. There
were '554 people killed on the high-
ways of 'Ontario last year. ' De
the last five years there have been.
more 'than -2;500 lives lost and more
than 42;000 persons injured in au-
tomobileaccidents in Ontario. Pos-
sibly 'in.-every•case there was no pre-
determination to take a life, but we
excuse -ourselves because of the '.Fact
that we were `forced" into a posi-
tion 'it1tich'had fatal consequences
for some other person.
Fie meed to 'develop a new ten-
aciousness of the meaning of words.
There 'is nothing that forces us to
travel '60 or 80 miles an hour! to
drive in front df railway trains; to
expose ourselves and others to the
risk of death 'by "cutting in" ahead
of some other 'chap who does' not
feel it necessary to travel as fast as
as we like to 'travel.., We know that
there are marry •children in towns and
cities, with mach pedestrian traffic,
and we should aro •more consider in-
juring them than we would take an
axe and cut down' ornamental trees
and shrubs on ourneig'hbor's lawn:
Possession of an automobile and
an operator's license does not give
us the right to drive pell-mell into
some partridges sitting in the road,
and excuse 'us because they fail to
fly at the approach of our car. Much
less excuse 'have we for. considering
Kaman lives . as we do those of part-
ridges. We are not "forced" to be
destructive, and we should consider
the things which place us in a posi-
tion where certain consequences of
our own actions are forced upon us.
CRITICISM OF BRITAIN BY
FRIENDS OF 'LEAGUE OF
NATIONS MOST UNGRATEFUL
The'friend'e of the League of Na -
tions do not help their cause by 'carp-
ing criticism .ot the ane 'Great Power
that has .strewn a: willingness to
take risks in the effort to make ooi•
lective action fon' enforcing peace
effective. Sir Samuel Hoare made a'
mistake in his peace plans. But sure-
ly the storm of indignation which
:greeted the proposal that Italy should:
be allowed to retain the territory 'she;
has (captured, ;and the vesigrration of
the British Foreign Minister, should:
save Great Britain from 'ha't'ing 'cast
in lrer teeth ighe aneient'Franeh'tauntl'.
" fleerfidious Albion," at least in a'j
British Dominion. The 'Blearst pa
'pees in the 'United 'States 'have beenl
spreading the phrase in large type a -
'cress their editorial pages. But them,
one texpetits ^nothing better from the
Hearst press. 'The unfortunate fact
is, however, that, as Col. George A.
Drew peiinted out in a recent speech,
this anti--Brtliish propaganda :appears
to be having a subtle influence in
(Canrgla.
It is somewhat ironical, not to say
laughable, to 'have Americsni ropininn
quoted as 'crilt'ical of Britain's lack
of eona;tancy, ",Pimm a League stand-
lpoiaat anoill ing could 'be more unM-
spiring than the 'actions and attitudes

of the world. In a •negative nense
their aeuteality laws may sometimesi
tend to discourage the resort, to arms.
But their neutrality will have no
positive effect in preserving peac%,.
and in the event of hostilities will
tell 'against the more peaceful pow-
er, since it will prevent it from mak-
ing good deficiencies in preparation
for war. In the Great War, for in-
stance, Great Britain was caught
with .only a comparatively small ar
my, and American industry was help-
ful in overcoming the handicap ,re-
sulting from the failure to impose
conscription, in times of peace. Why
do not the :critics direct their shafts
at the power which conceived the
League, but refuses to do' anything
for its offspring? ` They might even
keep a little • indignation for our own
Government's repudiation of its re-
presentative at Genvea. At least,
When referring to Geeat Britain's at-
titude,; let them bear in mind Mr:,
Stanley BaIdwin's. reply to the for-
eigners who charged his Government
with weakness: "Ng other nation has
moved a man, or a ship or a gun in
support of the League." For its ad-
herents to direct their citicism a-
gainst British diplomacy, when that
country's support of the League is
probably costing the British tax-
payers several million dollarsa day,
is to bite the hand that is keeping
the League alive.
eSNAPSI OT CUIL
TOY LAN ID PICTURES
You will always
treasure memory
pictures of the
children ' s
playthings.
"Tel/land, Toyland, beautiful
girl and boyZand
Once you pass its portals, you
mayne'er rets6'a again."`
BTJT could yon not return again,
in a ' manner of speaking; if,
there had been preserved in a snap-
shot album pictures of yourself and
the toys that gave you pleasure
when you were actually one of the
inhabitants of that enchanting land
of Victor Herbert's beloved oper-
etta? Do you ever like to recall the
teddy bear, the drum, the jack-in-
the-box, the doll or the little tea.
set that were your favorite play-
things as a child and which eventu-
ally went the way of all toys, or
won't you confess to being that
sentimental? Well,, in any case, if
somebody had taken snapshots of
them for you and kept thein, the
chances are that you would get a
"kick" in looking at them today.
Certainly your elder relatives would.
Children's toys are part of family
history. ,
The timely point is that another
Christmas having passed and new
toys for the youngster's having made
their appearance in the house, you
should not neglect to take pictures
of thein before they disappear.
Make shots of the children with
their toys and of the toys alone. If
you can snap the children playing
with the toys without their know-
ing you are taking the picture, you
will have natural little studies
which are usually the most inter-
esting. But you will want some good
close-ups in order to show the toys
plainly. These you will have to pose:
though they need not look posed-
For such pictures you need a por-
trait attachment for your camera..
This is a simple supplementary lens.:
which slips over your present cam-
era lens and permits you to take the -
picture within arm's length and
thus obtain a larger image. The
cost of tltts extra lens is less than a
dollar.
Some of the toys can be taken_.
alone in amusing groups—the doll
at the miniature piano, the monkey
riding the little stuffed horse, or the •
elephant tipping over the toy train_
The table top is the best place to'
set up these 'story -telling situations.
Usea cardboard background, dark
or light, depending on the color of
the toys. Experiment, too, with a
mirror as a background. A short
time exposure will beneeded with
the ordinary camera. At night you:
can, effectively use two or three,
floodlight bulbs, also inexpensivee
and control your lights and shadows:
If you will carry out this idea with
the toys of this Christmas and
faithfully keep up the habit each
year while the children are growing
up, you will have a treasure of
memory pictures which you and
they wilI always cherish—a picture,
record of the happy days in Toyland.

KIPLING'S DRAWING
IKiplings ability in picture, es' well
as in word, is recalled by Francis
Cecil Whitehouse, of Vancouver:
"Prior to the appearance of Test
So Stories, the world had known Kip--
ling as a novelist, a short story writ-
er
rit
er and a poet: an artistic magician
of parts. But, without warning, to
produce an entirely different art was
magic indeed, Some might submit
that this was not so surprising from
the son of John Lockwood Kipling„
the creator of the beautiful illustrat-
ions in The Second Jungle Book and'.
Ifine But such argument can only•
be accepted to the extent of expecting
some slight knowledge and interest
on the part of the child in the parent's,
particular form of art. A wilful lady
is Art, appearing where she listetla
and not where she might be expected -
The names of sons and daughters of
great authors who. have not produced'
a paragraph worth printing and of
great painters, who could not draw' a•.
line, would be a voluminous roll. We
had no right to expect illustrating ab-
ility from Rudyard Kipling. Yet, is
not that precisely how the matter
stands? Has it not been taken for
granted and unremarked?
"Opening the pages of Just So'
Stories, the first picture is that of"
"the Whale swallowing the Mariner.."'
This, a most difficult composition,.
appears to have presented no obstac
les. As an imaginative piece of work
it is above criticism. Everything
flows into the rapacious throat: the -
Water, raft, Mariner: and jack-knife,---
not forgetting the suspenders, so de-
licately' traced.
elicately'traced. The technique is not-
a whit less excellent; the portrayal .
of perspective and form by means. of
shading,"
